Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Spring cleaning means refreshing everything, including our wine fridge. That's why we love our First Leaf membership. They always keep our selection fresh by sending us the perfect case of personalized wines right to our door. Whether we're craving a light red, a crisp white, or a refreshing rosé, we are always stocked and ready to enjoy a glass on a sunny day or at a spring gathering.
Chapter 2: What are the predictions for Love Island USA?
They have a wine concierge team. So whenever you have questions or you're like throwing a party, you can really impress everyone at your party with your wine selections because they give you info on the wine that you've received. So you can be like, oh, and this one has notes of citrus and raspberries. And then you're a wine sommelier.
And if you are tired of lugging big, heavy bottles of wine from the grocery store to your door and having that grocery bag break, well, not a problem with First Leaf because they get delivered right to your door and you can stop picking wines and guessing by labels. You can get, like Natalie said, some fun facts about the wine you're drinking and sound smart.
It's always fun to sound smart, even when you're not.
You can control when your wine arrives to your front door. So if you're out of town, if you're traveling, if you're not going to be there, don't worry.
Stop or start at any time.
Don't worry, you can press pause and you can resume it whenever you want. You can control that all on the app.
Enjoy the fresh vibes of spring with wines you'll love from Firstleaf. Go to tryfirstleaf.com slash V-I-A-L-L to sign up and you'll get your first six hand-picked bottles for just $44.95. That's T-R-Y-F-I-R-S-T-L-E-A-F dot com slash V-I-A-L-L. Tryfirstleaf.com slash V-I-A-L-L.

Chapter 3: What should we expect from the Summer House reunion?
Was this like a specific 2025 thing that you were like, I just don't want to. He's the one person on the planet Earth who has like made a New Year's resolution and has stuck to it. Oh, candy was yours. So you formerly did eat candy.
I haven't had any sugar.
He formerly was. He formerly was eating supper and then would immediately make four bowls of cocoa pebbles and then eat three popsicles and then go to bed.
I had a problem. Here's the thing. He was sick. Not to be this person, but isn't there sugar in grapefruit? Are you referring to refined?
Simple sugars.
Refined, okay.
The stuff that will kill you and give you diabetes. Oh my God.
The sugars, as they say in the South.
I'm sure you've heard that before. Yeah, for all the people. Oh, there's sugar in oranges. It's like, yeah.

Chapter 4: What does Brianne Howey share about Ginny & Georgia?
Do you have, I, that was my problem and then I got a Kindle and now I'm a book girl.
You know, I used to have a Kindle. And I immediately fall asleep. I used to have one, but then I kind of resisted, but maybe I should get back on that. It's nice to have all your books in one place.
Yeah.
I mean, I love an audio book too.
Well, see, this really makes me tired. You know, like my eyes get tired of reading and I honestly don't even understand what's going on in the book because I just fall asleep.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the dynamics in Summer House?
Is that a prereq? He's from LA. Wait, what are his fun facts? Fun fact, you might recognize him for his modeling work. I don't, but according to his Instagram, he also has a degree in nursing at Florida Atlantic University.
Okay, Gaylord Falker, let's go.
No, I kind of like him. Not subscribing to social norms. Yes. Look at him. Love.
I wouldn't mind waking up from anesthesia and seeing. He said, I'm smart and hot. Gaylord. He's definitely my type.
Yeah, same. And I like the cowboy too, but anyway. Oh, is he a cowboy? Decatur? Alondria. Decanter. No, it is Decatur. Is it? Why is it spelled like that? There's a spelling error on this doc, but it is Decatur. Yeah, I was like, Decanter is not a place in Alabama that I know of.
I was going to say, you're from the South, you don't know Decanter.
You've never visited Decanter? Her fun fact is she's a graduate of Tuskegee? Tuskegee? Tuskegee? Tuskegee? Yes, Tuskegee. Tuskegee University. This guy. This is Cordell. Yes. This is Cordell. I like he's, but he's a cowboy. He grew up on, he said he learned to ride a horse before he learned to walk. Hot. I think that's what he said. What does tattoo say? It says something not kill something.

Chapter 6: What are the controversies surrounding Karen Read?
I cannot believe that this is my life sometimes. Jillian really needs us right now. I've always known my mom was different.
There's more to her that people don't see.
Everyone thinks I'm a violent, unhinged monster. You can't give up. At least it can't get any worse, right? Except if I go to prison, that would be worse. I'm not a bad person. But if you come face to face with bad, you become a little bad yourself.
I want to protect you from all this.
Mom needs me. You think you have the whole story, but you don't.
No more secrets.
I've been defending my mom to everyone. I am trying so hard to protect her, but I don't even know if it's the right thing to do.
I don't want my mom to go to prison.
Do you think she did this?
