Hi everyone. Welcome or welcome back to the Call Your Friends podcast. I'm your friend Lauren,

and today Maddie is not here with me, but I do have my friends Ashley and Jane, who I have known for a very long time.

We can get more into it in the episode,

but we've known each other since like SK grade one, I want to say.

Pre-K?

Yeah, it's been a very long time.

So we're going to talk a bit about our childhood

and growing up together and then where we're at now.

And we asked you guys for some questions on Instagram, and I picked out my favorites.

So we are also going to run through those and answer those.

But before we get into that, so, okay, I don't know if you guys listen to the podcast,

or if you've ever listened before.

Do you guys ever listen?

Um, like once I've listened.

Probably same.

Okay, okay.

Actually, yeah, all the time.

Okay, well, what we are doing these days is we normally start off with what's going on in the world, what's going on in our lives.

We can skip the what's going on in the world because that's normally news stories, which Maddie and I can say for next week. But let's do a quick little what's going on in the world because that's normally news stories which mattie and i can say

for next week but let's do a quick little what's going on in our lives so ashley has been staying
