Hey, Isabella, did you see we are in the midst of a Duffesance?

What is that?

Hillary Duff. Hillary Duff is better. Oh, yeah, we are. We are, and I'm so happy about it. Her new single drops today. Oh. Oh, I didn't know in that way. She announced she's signed with Atlantic Records, and she's going to drop an album. She hasn't put out music in, I think, 10 years. and her new single.

Brady, what's it called?

Mature.

Mature. Mature. Is out today. I like that. We're recording this on Tuesday, so we haven't heard it yet. Oh, yeah, no, we haven't. But I bet we'll like it. Are you a Hillary Duff gal? Yeah, I watched her growing up. Yeah. I mean, Lizzie McGuire was... Lizzie McGuire. This is what dreams are made of. And let's also, hey now, let's also not forget. She was Cadet Kelly. Cedette Kelly? Oh, sorry. Connecticut Kelly, please don't apologize. Connecticut Kelly, is that the movie where she goes on one of the craziest? She's like, what is it, military school or something? Yes, yes. And then she does like the gun dancing things or whatever. That's right, gun dancing. Drill team, I think she's on the drill team. She also in that movie, I believe, or maybe it was in Lizzie McGuire, does rhythmic gymnastics. Now, she does it in a really offensive way, a way that doesn't take it seriously as a sport at all, which I didn't love. But representation matters. And that's as a kid that was the first time I went like, ribbon. And so shout out to Hillary Duff. What movie is it where she does the like, Hi! Oh my god, raise your voice, raise your voice.

Ha, hey, yeah, yeah.

It almost breaks theuals the podcast.

It almost breaks the format of the podcast to reference the cold open here.

But I do want to say that we, Isabel and I just got to show Brady and Chris, the scene from Raise Your Voice, where Hillary Duff goes on a little run.

And just, did you guys have any reviews you wanted to say now that your life has changed? How do they think they could get away with that? It was a long time ago. I don't know. Oh boy. It sounded like a significantly different voice than the Laguna Beach theme song. I thought that they had to be different people. God, I love it. It just sounds different. It doesn't match what her mouth is doing.

Yeah. Isabella, this is your version of the Randy Johnson Bird Fastball. It feels like from the other side. Isabella, did you watch Laguna Beach? No, I didn't watch. I got season one on DVD if you ever have a weekend free. Okay. Something to do. because it was there was a boy on there named Talon,

like the fingernail of an eagle.

Um, it, have a weekend free. Okay. Something to do. Because it was, there was a boy on there named Talon, like the fingernail of an eagle. It's just a fascinating little slice of life. I shout out to Hillary Duff. I'm just very excited to see her back. We've got a lot to get to today. Incredible guest, you guys. Look, I know when I pitched this podcast, I did a lot of promo, and in that promo,
