I got a lot to tell you, but I can't really share everything because my family's listening and I want to talk crap about them. But I can't. I can't because they're listening. As a matter of fact, they're downstairs. They might come upstairs and beat me up. But, I mean, it's been really, it's been fun. It's been great having them. But, boy, oh, boy. And they extended their trip by a day. I thought I was going to be free today. But I'm not.
How did the episode open and what personal updates did Don Lemon share?
They're still here.
You guys know what I'm talking about. I love you. I love you. I love you. Okay, so we had a great weekend. Let me know where you're streaming from. And yes, so it's so funny because I wasn't going to wear the hat. I'm like, I'm not going to wear the hat. And everyone's like, I love that blue hat. I love that blue hat. I love that blue hat. So everyone's been asking me about it. So here is the hat. There is the hat. Go to the merch store. You can get it. It's on the merch store. You can go. You can go. You can go. You can get it. Everywhere I go, this hat. Love, love, love. So there you go. It's on the merch store. Go to Donleman.com and go to merch. Okay. So, wow. Let me know where you're streaming from. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
What does it say? Someone said I'm out of focus. What? Am I out of focus? I don't think I'm out of focus. Your signal's a little choppy again. It is? Okay. Why don't you stand by and talk to them, Andy? Stand by one second. Okay. I'm going to go. I'm going to come back. So I don't know what you want to do. Put up something. I don't know. Put up the merch store. Hold on. Stand by and I'll come right back. All right. So I'll wait till this put up the website. Boom. Here's the website. And our signals a little bit. And then watch this. Okay. I'm out of here and I'll be right back. Hold on.
All right. Yeah. Let's check out the merch store. Let's see what we have here. Oh, it looks so good. Yeah. I wonder what the most popular piece of clothing is. I don't know if we have heard that stat yet. I'm guessing maybe this lemon live black crew neck, although it's warm out.
That's true.
So maybe, I mean, people love the handwritten one. So I think.
Oh, there you go. Much better. Much better. Much better. I think I changed the battery. I did something with the battery in the phone, in my camera, and that must have done something weird. So hey, everybody. Hello, Shannon and Sharon in New Orleans. Okay, everybody. So anyways, the blue hat is up here. I had to do that. I didn't want to put the merch store thing up this early, but we needed to fix the signal. So thank you for joining. Anyway, go there if you want this hat or other stuff. And so do we have the dog pic up yet? Where is this from? Who's this? What's her name? Is it Marilyn from some, from? Shay from Kentucky. Shay from Kentucky. Let's show Shay from Kentucky.
