And it's important that you make that clear today.
Because there's two Monicas here today.
Yeah.
On a second trip.
Yes.
Monica Lewinsky. Yes.
Welcome back, Monica Lewinsky.
Yes, this was really fun. I really enjoyed this one. She has a new podcast out called Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. She has incredible guests.
Yeah.
And the theme's really awesome. It's about reclaiming your identity.
Yes. Obviously, she has had a very unique life. Yeah. And she's generous in talking about it, which is which is really nice and helpful. Like she said so many things that I think are going to resonate with a lot of people. Yeah. She said one thing that I was thinking about for days. What? I don't want to say it.
Oh, you don't want to spoil it?
Yeah, I don't want to spoil it. I just think it's going to hit with some people, and I hope it does. And BTS, we were in some emails after, and Emma was talking to her team, and they were like, it's so confusing.
Between the Monicas.
Yeah, so they had to start referring to it as my Monica.
Oh. Yeah. I like that, my Monica.
Yeah.
Please enjoy, not our Monica, Lewinsky.
You know those creepy stories that give you goosebumps? The ones that make you really question what's real? Well, what if I told you that some of the strangest, darkest, and most mysterious stories are not found in haunted houses or abandoned forests, but instead in hospital rooms and doctor's offices? Hi, I'm Mr. Ballin, the host of Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries. And each week on my podcast, you can expect to hear stories about bizarre illnesses no one can explain, miraculous recoveries that shouldn't have happened, and cases so baffling they stumped even the best doctors. So if you crave totally true and thoroughly twisted horror stories and mysteries, Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries should be your new go-to weekly show.
Listen to Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
He's an object expert
Rob found that. I didn't even know about it, and apparently I was in the dark. People made fun of me.
But you love it, right? I love it. Immediately. Yeah, you and Rob could have some weird male-female home goods store that would service both ends of the... Home goods. Oh, my gosh. Thank you. I feel so short in this. It's a little sinky. You know what's nice is the complaints are universal. They're not consistent... No one likes it, but for a myriad of reasons. So we can't even really figure out how to fix it. This is the third couch. Oh, okay. And again, it's not like everyone's like, it's too deep or it's too shallow or it's just for you now, it's too short. Or I'm too short. I think it is. I think people sink in it a little bit. Okay. Okay. How are you doing? Good. I'm a little tired. I was like, oh, this is not the kind of mindset you want to be and go to try to sound like a human. No. And I also keep thinking there's an earthquake happening today.
What is that about? Is there? No. It's like you have a premonition or you're feeling it? No, no. It was like three times today. I sort of was, oh, was that an earthquake? Yeah. Okay, so a little on edge, maybe.
How can vulnerability be fostered in conversations?
I don't know. You're anxious. Is that it, you think? Okay. Would it comfort you at all to know that I, too, don't feel energized and bright? Okay. Me either, actually.
Maybe it's some weird thing with the moon or some shit like that. Oh, I have heard March has a lot of astrological issues.
Oh, tell us about them, please. Okay.
A couple retrogrades, some other big thing.
Mercury's in retrograde, which makes sense that here I am coming back to the podcast. Circling all the way back. What do I have?
