Hi everybody. This is Kimberly. And this is Katie. And you're listening to A Date with Date Line. And you may

have forgotten what my voice sounds like. But here I am. It's back. It's just as annoying as it was before.

It's so great to have you back. I'm smiling from ear to ear. Try to stop me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Katie, for

filling in. She was incredible. She did a ton of

heavy lifting on the podcast and in my personal life. Also, thank you to Jake, who is always such a champ.

Yes. And I know some of you ladies have a crush on Jake. I'm feeling it. And you should.

That's why we can't have him on the podcast all the time,

because he'll just be swarmed like the Beatles everywhere he goes. Correct. But thank you so much.

I had to take a bit of a hiatus. Some sad news. My mom did pass away after a very lengthy illness,

and it was very sad, obviously. but thank you so much to everyone who sent

the most amazing messages if you had found this out i announced it just on patreon and supercast

because we were late on some things and i wanted people to understand we had a very good reason

so thank you really everyone who said I've gone through

something similar recently or things like that. Just the nicest messages in the world. I know my mom

meant a lot to a lot of people. And she meant a lot to people of this podcast. And she loved this

podcast more than anything. She told random strangers about it. She wore leggings with our logo on it.

It was literally the last thing she was listening to at the hospital. So she, yeah.

My brother suggested we put it on so that she could hear it because she liked listening to it

all the time. So we put it on. So as she was going, it was a lot of murder talk, which is always fun for the whole family.

It was very funny and it's what she would have wanted.

There you go.

Yeah.
