Hello, everyone. Vanessa here. I just wanted to come on for a second and say thank you so much for listening to our show. You are the reason that we get to make these episodes and put them out week after week. Yes, sometimes I know there's a rerun, but we take our time figuring out what you wanna hear, what we are genuinely interested in, and, you know, putting the whole thing together for you. So this week, it is not a rerun. It is actually a breaking news story. As you know, we do breaking news sometimes. We'll do an Epstein series, or we'll talk about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. But then we have another kind of episode, which is truly perennial, and it's things that we just think you will always be interested in. In fact, we think that so many of our stories are interesting today to listen to that we wanna encourage you to go back in your feed,
