Happily evers that make you throw your Kindle and then hug it tight. We would like to welcome indie author and amazing human, La Serena McMaster, with us. Hi, La Serena. How are you doing? Welcome.
Thank you, Harry. Thank you. How's your week, Ben? Stressful. We're trying to get a book over the line for editing next week, which you know about 'cause you're in my document.
Yay. I live in it. I breathe in it. And I'm dying to one day go to Ireland for the sole purpose for us to meet in person.
I will pick you up at the airport. We can have margaritas.
I I'm gonna hide in her suitcase. Bring it
on. The more the merrier. PSA
so backed up. They won't notice, right?
No, they really won't.
This is already gonna be one of our fun, most unhinged podcast listeners.
I don't know what gives you that impression. So demure.
You all are in for the ride of your life and we are going to dive in to all things La Serena and us chiming in our unhinged comments along with it. So what are you currently drinking and is it strong enough for this conversation?
I am drinking, I have two drinks. I have tea and I have Coke Zero and neither of them are strong enough for this conversation. No. But I thought I would be on camera, so I didn't wanna have like tequila next to me.
Judgment free zone. Judgment free zone, yeah. Courtney, do you have more than your diet coke? I mean I know what's in your cup.
Sin. It's a tragedy over in the Griffey household today because I ran out of Diet Coke last night and I'm suffering. So currently I have a prime sitting here and I don't like it. It's like a berry flavor. And I'm like, ugh. Sun Trambone.
I know. I am sipping on my tea. I have a nice cup of Earl Grey with some cream in it and a big heaping glass of water. Hi
quell's. Everyone keeps telling me to drink water. Yeah.
The thing you're supposed to drink? Yeah. I have Hey, I think the first ingredient in Diet Coke is water, right? So Yes. Yes. Some water is Some water is a good thing.
water to make tea. So yeah. Technically I'm drinking water too, Mary.
I have yet to meet a flavor of tea that I don't like. So
I've met plenty. I say the same thing about tacos.
Mm-hmm. I miss
tacos. Yeah. I did at-home crunch wraps last night because I miss Mexican food. So I did a fake taco bell for my son.
Those looked amazing.
They were very good. But we don't have queso here, so it was re it's really hard to Yeah. I know. I know. Kitty me.
That just hurt my heart. Corney has an unhealthy obsession with queso and she technically should not be consuming queso because both of us should not be eating dairy. And only one of us follows that rule.
I mean, if they told me I couldn't eat queso, I would say screw you two and just eat the damn queso. Cheese is life, bro.
I think it was last week I texted Mary and I was like, I'm going to get my taco and queso. So we'll see if it hurts my stomach or not.
And then an hour later she's like, Yeah, it still hurts. Yeah.
