And then she said, yeah, tomorrow at 5 a.m.

in Chicago for the studio audience.

That meant 350 cupcakes, frosted, packaged cupcakes.

taken to Chicago, which she was recommending that I give them to a courier.

And all I could think of was this is our shining moment.

This is our opportunity to basically take this business from here to here.

I am not handing over my cupcakes to a courier.

You know, all they had to do was put them under the plane and they'd get squashed into pancakes.

And that I would have blown my heart.

It's over.

So I didn't know how I was going to do it.

But I said, don't you worry, we're going to get them there.

Booked a red eye.

fired up the ovens that I just turned off, baked up 350 of them.

Charles and I were stacking all these cupcakes into shopping bags, like literally did not have anything except probably, you know, a wallet on me and just cupcakes.

And we were those like ridiculously annoying people going through security, taking every box out and putting them through.

But all we had to say was we were going to Oprah and everyone was like, yeah.

You go, you go, like go ahead of me.

It's just, it was like this magical golden pass that we had.

So we got there, didn't sleep a wink.
