Hello and welcome back to Middle Ground.

We are so excited that you are here today.

And Caroline and I are pretty stoked for today's episode.

We've got some pretty good emails from y'all.

And I have not read them all.

Caroline, I think, went through and read them all um but i've not read anything yet she just sent me what i'm reading and i'm very excited

to react and listen to what um you all's worst valentine stories are i feel like it should should be a light note after Valentine's Day.

Yeah.

But I guess let's go ahead and how are you doing today, Caroline?

I'm doing well. How about you?

I'm tired. I ended up staying up really late. Okay. I couldn't sleep. I don't know if it's pregnancy or

what, but I've been having a lot of hip pain. And I was having a hard time falling asleep, so I

turned on our podcast because I didn't listen to last week's episode. And then you said something on

the podcast that caused me to lay awake in bed for like another two

hours. Why? I thought you're going to say you caused me to like laugh. No, you go and it's not,

this isn't, it's just true, like it's not a bad thing. But you said last week in the podcast that you have to hang out with you the rest of your life.

And for some reason, when you said that, you know how sometimes things just hit you?

Yeah, just like clicks.

I was like, oh shit.

And I was just laying there in bed being like, you're stuck with you forever.

And I couldn't. Like, this is it. Yeah. Like, and I'm not even having like a tragic problem with myself. Like, I'm cool with myself. Right. No, not last night. I was just laying there.

Like, oh my gosh. So anyway, I had to tell you that. That's hilarious. I love that for you.
