[upbeat music] Hi, this is Becca Moore for The GURLS Podcast. All right, a quick shout-out to our presenting sponsor, Apple Cash. Summer is here, which means the group chats are already spiraling with festival and summer plans, and we all know the worst part of being the one who fronts the money for the passes or housing. That's why this year we're only using Apple Cash. It's a super easy way to settle up, because you can do it right in Messages. Just tap the plus sign to get started. And the best part is you can spend the money you get right away anywhere Apple Pay is accepted. Every payment is secure and protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode, and your transactions are never shared on a public feed. Set up your Apple Cash today in the Wallet app. Apple Cash services are provided by Green Dot Bank, member FDIC. Terms apply.

Hello.

Football Weekly is supported by Hotels.com. Now, Barry, question, when you're booking a hotel, do you use Hotels.com? Actually, you're probably just gonna say, "I don't know. Producer Joel does it."

I don't know. Producer Joel does it.

Well, I think you should give it a try for yourself. Obviously, it's a massive summer of soccer, and loads of our listeners will be traveling to watch the tournament and needing to book somewhere great to stay. So it's good to know that when you're a Hotels.com member you can save up to 20% on hundreds of thousands of hotels, plus you earn rewards on every stay, so each trip you take helps pay for your future trips. Just use those rewards like cash, and importantly, there are never any blackout dates.

What's a blackout date?
