Hey, y'all, Kelly Clarkson here with Wayfair. I know holiday magic starts at home, so I tend to go a little overboard. The twinkling lights, the trees, the cozy blankets, but the thing I love even more than decorating is having everyone over and knowing my home is ready. With Wayfair, it's easier than ever to make holiday magic at home. Oh, I think I found room for one more wreath. Don't wait, head to wayfair.com and get your home holiday ready today.
Wayfair, every style, every home.

All things feminism. And if you watch the Patreon, then you know that I just drank a 10 milligram wheat seltzer, and guess what?
Yannis Pappas (2:21)
It just hit me.
Chris Distefano (2:22)
Now, what perfect timing.
Yannis Pappas (2:24)
What do you feel?
Chris Distefano (2:25)
I feel a slight buzz. I feel a slight openness. I feel kind of just getting silly.
I kind of feel like spaghetti. And I kind of just feel like it's all gonna be okay, and it doesn't matter. And the decisions that I've made, I've learned from them, and what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. And I'm gonna keep going, girl.
Yannis Pappas (2:42)
Yes, girl.
Chris Distefano (2:43)
And it doesn't matter. And if the cabinet's got pushed back three weeks, then you know what, honey?
Yannis Pappas (2:48)
It's all good. Right, right.

And this has feminine, and today it's going to be all about feminism, and it's absolutely going to be a good episode.
Yannis Pappas (3:34)
We're going to talk about women and the way that they have tried to make it in this world.
Chris Distefano (3:41)
Cause I suggested today that we talk about the Abraham Accord, which is something about Middle East treaty stuff. And I thought that would be fun, but Yannis said, no, I'm putting the brakes on that. We're talking about feminism. I said, I need a wheat seltzy.
Yannis Pappas (3:56)
And we need a break from the sandbox. Yeah. We need a break from the sandbox. We need a break from Jesus.
Chris Distefano (4:03)
