You want to start podcasting?
Yeah, we are podcasting right now.
I am so sorry to have such a bad stomachache on your birthday episode.
Oh, man, listen. I heard you got you a dime piece, man. Wasn't looking good in George.
So for those of you that are just listening, Connor's in stude today. Oh, yeah. And the stude is decked out in the most amazing birthday decorations, courtesy of Ismerelda, our perfect, perfect producer. And it's just glorious. It's a Western theme. It's just Connor's wearing a cowboy hat. He looks so handsome. Now he has like a little like wanted frame around his pretty, pretty face. And it's all amazing and very great.
It's all really great. It's so special. I do need my birthday to be over right now.
Okay.
It's the birthday that ever ends.
It could be over in like 15. Does that work?
Yeah, that's fine. That works.
I got you these.
Why? That's so sweet. Why did you get me something for your birthday?
I didn't know today.
Connor got me flowers.
I didn't know today, eight days after my birthday, would still be my birthday.
Thank you, honey. Of course.
Honey.
Thank you, howdy, honey.
Okay.
Wow, I love them. They're dried. Yeah, that's awesome. So you don't have to get them in the water. I don't have to even start to think about caring about them.
No.
I mean, caring for them. I cared about them so deeply.
I didn't even catch that.
But like for them.
That's so sweet. Someone in the edits would catch that.
Yeah, no. I don't even care about them. I care about them a pretty good bit, but I don't have to care for them in a way that would be hard for me, like watering them.
It is hard. Oh my gosh, I just realized there's flowers that I got for your sister are just sitting in that bowl.
That's fine. That's really nice that you get flowers for people.
I love getting flowers for people.
That's a nice thing to do.
So I have to tell you about what I just did. Okay. So I was walking here. I was down the street on set.
You were down the street on set?
I was getting fitted for a wig.
Okay. Can you tell us for what?
No, I can't. I don't think. But it's not even like secret project vibes. I just think I legally can't say anything yet.
Okay.
But is the energy off in here or what's going on?
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Oh, Lauren. Not me looking at Lauren and saying, is the energy off? We have not figured it out. We have not hit our stride yet.
But, Connor, I want you to know that it's okay.
No, I know it's okay. But I want you to know that I haven't gone to sleep since yesterday because I had to get on that flight at 4 a.m. today from Austin to get here. Now, I'm walking here, so I leave that set.
¶¶ ¶¶ Hey.
We love you.
We love you.
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
Thank you so much. That was fabulous.
Thank you. Happy birthday.
So you were sensing there was an energy to the room that you were sensing and that was what it was.
Can everyone give me a dollar for the fact that I called? I was like, something is very, very off here today.
Yeah, we were waiting.
And it was because there were four beautiful young men, four beautiful, talented young men that absolutely needed to sing their hearts out. They were lying in wait like the eggs in my peel.
Sorry, I was anticipating them and so I couldn't be here. I wasn't present because I was in anticipation.
Did you hear me say, I feel like I'm dreaming, something's weird.
Snap out of it. You could sense them. They're a part of your DNA.
I adore them, those young men.
For audio listeners, there was a mariachi band that came into the studio. And they perform their hearts out a pretty good bit.
Oh my gosh. There was like not even a bingo card that could have had that on it that I would have put money on.
It was hard to figure out where to look.
That was You know when they say I'm uncomfortable around people Singing happy birthday to you When there's four very talented gentlemen Belting Feliz cumpleaños a tu A ti maybe You're like fluent fluent Oh god yeah It is difficult to pick I couldn't pick which one was my favorite I freaking loved them all I didn't really look at the trombonists Because I was just feeling weird About angling my head that way
