Hi, friends. Welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs. I'm really happy to be here with you today. This is a special episode where we are sharing a portion of the that sounds fun tour live shows from the past spring with you.

All before we dive into today's conversation a quick word from one of our amazing partners better help. I think we have learned from our friend John Eldridge is that sometimes we need to check in about what prescription we need to write for our own healing after a challenging couple of years.

So many friends are experiencing burnout fatigue, lack of motivation. It's why I remind you all to rest hard and play hard every weekend. And why my team and I are taking some time off the summer.

I want each of us to do what we can to care for ourselves. Well, another way we can guard against burnout is with therapy. Y'all know this, but my counselor has been a godsend for me. And I want you to have the same type of help available to you.

Better help is customized online therapy that offers video phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to.

It's more affordable than in person therapy and you can be matched with the therapist in under 48 hours. That sounds fun friends get 10% off your first month at better help.com slash that sounds fun.

Okay. So as I said earlier for the podcast episodes in July each episode we are sharing part of two different live shows from the that sounds fun tour this past February.

If you have missed any so far this month go back and listen there are some of my favorite conversations and that is true of today to today you'll hear from journalist author and podcaster polyfarist. Yes.

The polyfarist that you remember co-anchoring good morning America weekend and co-hosting the view. And after that the brilliant and funny political strategist podcaster and writer Michael where listen. I love this combo. I mean we paired up the guests on purpose.

But then when I think about the pairs again I'm so happy with how it all lined up. I just think this is like a brilliant episode. I know you're going to love how poignant wise and fun these two are.

And these were two of our favorite cities to be in as well. So I'm having great memories as I am even thinking about these two nights.

So here are portions of my conversation for them. That sounds fun live tour with polyfarist in Greenville South Carolina. We loved that place.

And Michael where our first show of the tour and Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

And now will you please join me in welcoming today's guest our friend, Paula Ferris.

Hi everybody. Hi Greenville. This is home now. How yeah how close do you live to here? I mean don't tell us your address. That's creepy about an hour away.

Okay, so we live near Clemson in Santa Cairia anybody from Clemson Santa Cairia. Yes, yes, yes. I'm still a Michigan fan though. But Clemson's a close second.

Okay, wow that was like a lot to give them in a second. Yes, so we wish again.

Yes, did I did I tell you that before the national championship game? No, we should have talked about it.

We should I would have enjoyed that conversation. That wouldn't have been fun.

How competitive you get about football?

Yeah, I'm insanely, insanely competitive. Are you? Yeah, so I grew up in Jackson, Michigan. Anyone from Michigan?
