And I could not be more excited about this new chapter. Well, that's a damn lie. About a week ago, you know, that like the dark period in between Christmas and New Year and going back to work when like, I don't know, you're just like, you feel shitty because you've been eating way too many cookies and watching way too much trash TV and the kids are running all over and you do not even know who you are anymore.

So you know for sure you're like a pile of trash. And during that little time, I was worried. I was like, wait, we've been talking about this new era for Brown

Ambition for three months, three, four months now. And now I'm actually in it. And I'm like,

oh, dang, I got to show up and carry this show on. But I have this saying that you can do

hard things. And that's true. But you don't have to do them alone. So I'm just like proud of

me for not going into this new chapter alone and for inviting two of my favorite people on the

internet streets and IRL to join me. And B.A. Fam, we're testing out this little new thing. And I want

B.A. Fam. I want y'all to tell me how you like it. We got a dude in this dude. Like, that never happens. Do we care what Chris thinks? Do you like the sound of his voice? Like, do you want to hear from him? I don't know. We're going to test him out. I don't know, Chris. I don't know if we care. I don't know. I don't know if we want the male perspective, but we'll find out.

We'll see how we feel.

We'll find out for sure.

But we have two incredible, incredible co-host today.

We got Janelli, Espinal, Miss Be Helpful.
