Hi, everyone back to Bat on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia Mentor.

And it is our Valentine's Day tradition now that we are in February to discuss some obscure erotica.

I was nervous about this. I feel like we just did this, but we owe it to the people.

I was too, and then I read my chosen erotica, and I was laughing so hard.

It just brought me so much happiness and joy.

So joy is maybe the wrong word.

It's like, it's terror, but it's also laughter.

Yeah. Yeah, once I locked in, there was no going back. I

almost texted you to say, should we do something different? But then once I read my book, it's one of

those things where I know this, so now I need you all to know this. Yeah. I went to dinner last night

with some friends and I couldn't stop talking about this. And every time the waiter came over, they were like, what have I just walked into? So anyway, I feel like we all could use some laughter right now. The world is dark. We should laugh about silly things.

Agree. Agree. But before we get to those things, tell me your high.

My high is that I got my first haircut and hair color since May, 2024.

So I feel fresh. I feel revived. I feel blonde. I feel great. My hair feels healthier.

But it's still long.

You still have your mermaid hair.

I'm so jealous.

My hair does not grow past a certain length.

It couldn't get as long as yours is right now, even after the cut.

And I don't know.

It's just so luxurious and shiny and mermaid-y.

Well, thank you.
