Hello, everybody. Welcome to Weekly Trash, the safe place to cleanse your mind, body, and soul of all that trash you consume this week so you can consume some more tomorrow.

I'm your host, Josie Van Dyke, and it is Trash Day, y'all. I'm your host, like I just said, Josie Van Dyke, and I need to take out my own personal trash.

I also need to read Trasher's Trash.

And I have a tad bit of pop culture TikTok trash that I would like to take out with you guys,

Thanks for tuning in.

It means the world, truly.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

I'm relevant on my own podcast.

I know that people would enjoy taking out trash if they only knew that I existed. So what did I do?

I reached out to some influencer friends. And I was like, I'm going to trap people.

They're going to fall in love with the guest episodes, but then they're going to stay for the

solos. And I mean, it has been almost three years. Okay. It's been a long time coming.

But I'm officially, I'm officially relevant on my own podcast. So thank you. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for loving me more than the

guests. That means a lot. I mean, you don't love me more than some of the guests, like the big ones,
