Hey guys, welcome or welcome back to the podcast. We're your friends, Maddie and

Lauren. And we are back for another episode. Today is my birthday. It's also our final video episode.

But let's go back to my birthday because that's obviously more important.

You can see that I'm wearing a red boa and I did promise birthday merch or like, what do you

call it?

Like a something special, you know, a special piece or like a crown or something.

But unfortunately, we don't have anything.

So I just have this boa but we had to make do

that's from the Harry styles concert I actually was wondering that Lauren I was thinking it could be

from Harry Styles that is true so we have a very special episode this week and

Lauren's microphone is not oh yes it is So we have a very special episode this week.

This is definitely a tradition at this point.

We do this every year.

Basically, it's things I've learned at this age.

The age that I just passed, I guess.

You know what I realized?

I think we only do this for your birthday.

Yeah, I actually was thinking that as well.

Like, I don't remember, you know, 17 things I learned at 17.

Right, but I think it's because you're older and wiser.

Right.

Well, you know, you're always learning every year.
