**Stu** (0:24)
Hey.

**Cara** (0:25)
All right, we're back this week, and we are covering the second episode of the Gabby Petito American Murder documentary on Netflix. So.

**Stu** (0:37)
You got it all out.

**Cara** (0:37)
If you have seen it or are watching along, that's where we're at, there's three episodes, so we'll do one more episode in two weeks to get my feelings out about this. And then we'll go back to our regular scheduled programming where we cover single episodes from the South. Technically, someone did die in the South though, so.

**Stu** (0:57)
Yeah.

**Cara** (0:58)
Yeah, not to be funny about it. Not to laugh. Well, yeah, we'll laugh about that one. But anyways, so we are back. We are... I don't know what to say, Stu. I don't have anything to say. Do you have anything to say?

**Stu** (1:11)
I don't. Let's get into it.

**Cara** (1:12)
OK, well, we're going to go ahead and get into it because it is 10 o'clock at night and I have to go to work in the morning and Stu has to... What do you do all day?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:54)
TikTok's back.

**Cara** (1:57)
Did we talk about this last time? I was able to re-download the app because I prematurely deleted it.

**Stu** (2:02)
I still don't even know what our TikTok page looks like.

**Cara** (2:05)
It's like the same thing as our...

**Stu** (2:06)
Because you won't let me see your phone, so things seem real sketchy.

**Cara** (2:10)
What is that supposed to mean?

**Stu** (2:10)
I don't know.

**Cara** (2:11)
What do you mean, see my phone? You have access to the emails that show whenever I post something on TikTok to our account.

**Stu** (2:17)
Well, I don't know what you're doing on TikTok.

**Cara** (2:19)
You don't need to know what I'm doing on TikTok. TikTok is for me, all right? It's like those things. It's like no one in my real life better find me on TikTok or Instagram. Those things are for me. I actively, like on my Instagram, like my one where I have like I post like our, you know, me cleaning videos or like morning in my life or, you know, whatever it is. I actively block suggestions that Instagram puts of people I know in like my real life. I'm like, no, don't do not come. You are not welcome here.

**Stu** (2:54)
But some of them have already found it.

**Cara** (2:56)
Some of them have found it. My brother found it. My other brother found it. But you know what? They they're just like like everything and think it's great and everything. But there's some, you know, there's some catty bitches at work. I'd prefer not to know about my personal life. We're coworkers, okay? We're not friends.

**Stu** (3:13)
Not buds.

**Cara** (3:14)
No. Despite what the, you know, the company emails about, oh, you know, we're all friends and family. Not here. Just one team. That's a corporate, working in an office with women is like, work is like going to high school. There's the same people that were bitchy and bullies in high school are bitches and bullies in the corporate office too. That's just the way. I had never worked in a court, like an office setting like this until the last year, really. So, and I don't think you ever have. No. So it was a bit of a shock to me to see how grown adults act. But anyways. All right. Well, that's it. Do you have anything, anything else going on? I do not. We're getting ready for our cruise. We're going on another cruise. So that's exciting.
I threw a bomb in the, or someone threw a bomb in the old Disney, Disney cruises for toddlers with toddlers and families or whatever. I was like, I prefer Royal Caribbean over Disney. And so I was like, I'm just going to.

**Stu** (4:25)
Well, look at the comments.

**Cara** (4:26)
Well, no, I was like in the comments. I was like, this is why she posted anonymous, because you guys are such bullies in here about, about if someone doesn't prefer to the Disney cruise line over the Royal Caribbean. Anyways, they're real snobs over at the Disney cruise line groups. It's Disney or bust.
