Hello everybody and welcome back to ArtHoles. Before we get going, I just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone.

If you're still listening after all of the weirdness and tolerating my, I guess,

non-traditional view of history through what's looking to be around a 14 hour series,

I can't thank you enough for still being here.

This has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done, the show more broadly, but specifically

this series.

It's been legitimately life-changing.

Historically, I would say I haven't been the best at, you know, outwardly expressing myself or communicating what I'm thinking.

Teresa, I know you're listening and I'm sure you can attest to that.

Teresa, um, can you, um, I know, I ain't even going, you know I know?

No, we're not arguing about it. Okay. I'm raising my all right here.

Baby and the Frida series and going through all of this has made continuing that trend basically an impossibility.

I'm excited about the next few artists, definitely the next one.

It's looking to be a little less emotionally intense to put together.

Maybe, we'll see. We are guaranteed to learn some weird stuff, though.

But before that, we have a story to finish, and we have to say our goodbyes to an extraordinary

woman, and I've got a floor-length mirror that needs a date night and a small batch bourbon that is calling my name.

So let's do this.

On May 21st, Christina and Frida flew into New York

and prepared for the operation that was scheduled for early June.

She'll be under the care of Dr. Wilson, future bow tie-wearing, adorable old man who was recommended

to her by Arcady Boitler.
