Hey, before we start this week's show, we want to tell you to try out the NPR1 app for your phone.

Every Thursday this month, you can hear episodes of pop culture happy hour, a day early, exclusively in NPR 1.

Find Pop Culture Happy Hour, stories from your local station, and more on the NPR1 app.

It's on your App Store.

Hey Elliot, what can we help you with?

So my wife Betsy is pregnant with our first child.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And she's been generally pretty miserable lately with nausea and exhaustion.

And so I've tried pretty much everything they say to try.

And so I've started thinking outside the box and my first thought was perhaps I could get Sir

Patrick Stewart to record like maybe a relaxing or encouraging message for her

that she could listen to when she's not feeling well.

But I haven't really had any luck getting a hold of him or

even finding ways of getting a hold of him or even finding ways of getting a hold of him.

And I reached out you guys because you've had him on your show a couple times.

Yes.

I assume you know how to get a hold of him.

How is how's Betsy right now?

She's doing all right right now.

Yeah.

I think she's in maybe like the 11th or 12th week.
