This is a nightmare. I feel like the one day more now stuck in my head for the French Revolution. Like, it's time to rise up and take back what's yours. I'm sorry. This family should be marching in the streets against Jordan Hudson. Because I cannot tell you, I cannot tell you how wrong it will be if she just makes a way, basically, with his fortune. Well, well, well. Well, well, well.
Lauren is still brushing her hair. So now the brushing has concluded and we can begin this episode. How are you? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you Chandler. I am so impressed with you because it's 9 a.m. sharp Pacific time. We are recording and it's always, okay, it's always stressful everyone when you're recording in a new environment. Like you have to
set up the camera, figure out where you're going to go. You always like test it out and you're like, I look hideous. This is going to be unwatchable. People unsubscribe. So I said to you yesterday, I said, we have to start right at nine because I have to get on my flight to LA. And you were like, I know. Yeah, sounds good.
And then I just assumed I would get a text from you like five minutes ago that said, you know, I need an extra 20 minutes. And here you are gorgeous, glowing, imperfect camera lighting and ready to go. I can't take any credit for this. I had Ben do everything.

I think that I would be amazing if I had a full-time assistant.
What's Sutton's assistant? Javi? Harvey? Anyway, I need someone like him. What is his name? I think it's Javi. I think it's Javi. Actually, I think they've parted ways, I believe, but I'd love to have him on the podcast. Yeah, I believe I have. You would do really well with a butler. I would do incredibly well with a butler.
And Ben is nice enough to do this a month into marriage, but I don't know what it's going to be like three, four, 10 years from now. He's going to be over it. So I should start looking into full-time help. Thank God you have Ben. And no, it's just also your attitude is so just you're cheerful. You're happy. You're bright. And there's no huffing. There's no puffing. There's not, oh, OK, let's go.
We got to get going. This is great. It's like when people say that celebrities are so nice. Well, it's because they have full-time help. It's because they have help around the clock. It's quite easy to be nice when people are doing everything for you. It's honestly like the joke Heather MacDonald makes, which is like whenever...
