Hey, guys, it's King Scott. You know, this summer has been absolutely crazy in my life, and this fall is not going to slow down at all. I mean, I got the baby coming. It's just been hard to keep that routine that I've loved, and I found myself relying on quick, low-quality, gross, take-out food way too often, and this is where Factor came in. It completely saved myself and my wife. It makes eating healthy and so effortless, and even while you're running around nonstop, you can get a great meal. And Factor Meals are made and designed around what supports a healthier lifestyle. You know, I've been loving these meals lately, and my wife, she's really enjoyed the truffle butter chicken and mushroom risotto. And I personally can't wait to try the loaded mushroom potato pork chop. So Factor Meals have completely changed our weekly routine and made eating healthy something we actually look forward to. This is why I use Factor, and you should too. Let's eat real. Head to Factor meals.com/rizz50 off, and use code Rizz 50 off to get 50 percent off and one free breakfast item per box for one year, while supplies lasted till October 31st, 2026 That's code Rizz 50 off at Factor meals.com.

Devon (3:13)

Hi, Melissa. Hello. First time here? Don't be nervous.

Rizzuto (3:38)

I'm not nervous. This is new.

Melissa (3:39)

This is your first time? I'm good.

Rizzuto (3:42)

It's just us. I know.

Moon Valjean (3:43)

It's just us and thousands of people listening. It's fine.

Melissa (3:46)

Yeah, it's okay. I told everybody to watch and listen.

Lern (3:49)

So how underwhelming was it coming in here? Like, were you like expecting something to be happening like us to be doing like pushups before the show or?

Melissa (3:57)

No.

Lern (3:58)

Yelling at each other before the show or?

Melissa (4:00)

Nope.

Moon Valjean (4:01)

Is this exactly how you pictured the studio?

Melissa (4:04)

Pretty much.

Moon Valjean (4:05)

It's smaller, right? Smaller than what you'd imagine? Because you're like sandwiched in between Rafe and Lern.

Rizzuto (4:11)

Yeah, you're in a Rafe and Lern family.

Moon Valjean (4:12)

Yeah, you guys are pretty close to each other.

Rafe (4:15)

Welcome.

Moon Valjean (4:16)

Rafe could reach out and punch you.

Rizzuto (4:17)

If he wanted to. If he wanted to. I won't do that.

Moon Valjean (4:21)

If he wanted to. Well, thank you for donating. $5,000 is very generous for you.

Melissa (4:26)

Yes.

Moon Valjean (4:27)

And I hope you get your money's worth.

Melissa (4:29)

Yeah, I'm sure I will.

Lern (4:30)

Is there anything that you want to do on the show today that's like you've always, like you want to eat like a gross jelly bean every hour or like, you know, what do you want to do?
