Hi everyone, we're your friends, Maddie and Lauren and...

And...

And welcome or welcome back to the podcast.

We are back for another episode.

We have a special guest, as you can see if you're watching the video, or I guess she

But we've had some updates, I would say. So do you want to start, Lauren?

Yeah, I feel like the only actual interesting thing that we've been doing recently is preparing for Christmas.

So it's just the three of us in L.A. right now, which means we have been responsible for everything Christmas-related.

And me and my mom went to go get a tree the other day. So do you want to talk about that experience,

mom? Well, one of the problems with getting a tree in Los Angeles, a fresh one, is they get them
