This is an I-Heart podcast. September is a great time to travel, especially because it's my birthday in September, especially internationally. Because in the past, we've stayed in some pretty awesome Airbnbs in Europe. Did we've one in France, we've one in Greece, we've actually won in Italy a couple of years ago. Anyway, it just made our trip feel extra special.

So if you're heading out this month, consider hosting your home on Airbnb with the co-host feature. You can hire someone local to help manage everything. Find a co-host at Airbnb.ca slash host. I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. Together we're launching The Moment, a new podcast about what it means to live through a time,

as uncertain as this one. We sit down with politicians, artists, and activists to bring you death and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. The Moment is a space for the conversations we've been having us father and daughter for years. Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos on the IHeart Radio app, podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Super Secret Festi Club podcast season four is here. And we're locked in. That means more juicy chisement. Terrible love advice. Evil spells to cast on your ex. No, no, no, we're not doing that this season. Oh, well, this season we're leveling up. Each episode will feature a special bestie, and you're not going to want to miss it.

My name is Curley. And I'm Maya. Get in here. Listen to the Super Secret Festi Club on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, I'm Kate Hudson. And my name is Oliver Hudson. We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship.

And what it's like to be siblings. We are a sibling rivalry. No, no. Sibling rivalry. Don't do that with your mouth. Sibling, Reveory. That's good. Emails, emails, what you got with those emails.

It just like came up, I forgot about that. I know, God. I forgot about our little emails jingle. It's like this 50s little vibe, like, emails, emails, emails, what you got with us? And it's like, and then it's like, and then it's like, and then. it's like, bing. Right. Or what's like the most common sound?

Well, if you didn't catch on, this is the email episode. Well, we read emails and we read emails and try not to cry, basically. That is the game. Yeah, it's almost like a game at this point. Who's going to cry first? Yeah, so we did one in this season, and I remained stoic. I cried. You cry.

I couldn't stop crying. No, I know. Let's, let's, uh... I'm going to go first. Let's see how we do. Go first, and hopefully, yeah, I get one that doesn't make me go nutty. Okay. Kate Oliver and guest Dan Butner.

Ooh, I like this. I just got done listening to the episode, and I can't even begin to tell you how much it meant to me. There were so many interesting things I learned from it, but the end really hit home and let the tears flow in regards to smoking. I'm 34, and I listened to this on day two of quitting, being someone who loves it. Always like you. I know, I love it, but I quit.

However, it did bring shame, as Kate mentioned, isolating myself away from my family and not doing more things I love. Respecting you too so much, especially Kate, who I would try so hard to emulate. It really took a lot of shame out of me smoking. And I really think all the times I quit, I would start again thinking this is just something someone like me does. I really appreciate how open and honest you guys are. It's allowing me to see myself as a person I can love. Hopefully this tidbit is a stepping stone to stopping forever this time. Yes.

Especially with Dan adding how people in the Blue Zone quit and still lived a long time. I'm so grateful to hear that as I have been so fearful, it's been too late. and I need to be here for my two beautiful little girls who also need me to love and care for myself as much as I love and care for them. Thank you so much again for this podcast and being your true best selves. Awesome.

Liz. So. That makes me so happy. That's great. I mean, I don't talk about smoking and I never post about me with a cigarette or anything like that, but I was a smoker. I mean, I love smoking.

I still do, even though I quit. And it's been two months and I've stopped, and I think I'm good. I think I did it. Yes. I think I kicked it. I went to a hypnotist, which was crazy. This guy's like super famous and amazing.

And I didn't think it would work because it was like, I left the sessions like, what the hell just happened? You know? And it strangely worked. And I don't smoke anymore. And it was like a party. Like you had to quit and it was like a party.

Remember you had to like. like yeah it was erin 50th yeah like oh it was horrible i know um but anyway liz i love the like i get it i get how amazing cigarettes like trust me i still this day see people smoking yeah i'm like oh it's grung it's gross it makes me feel it makes you feel like shits, you know, but stay strong, Liz. Also, here's what else I'm going to say. Also, here's what I'm going to say.

The shaming part of it. Yes, like, you will spend more time doing the things you love and you won't be telling me kicking the kids out from, like, you know, the back patio because you don't want them around the cigarette smoke. And you will no longer have the excuse to stare blankly

at a wall, which is one of my favorite things to do. Like, one of my favorite things out smoking was I could leave a restaurant by myself and just stare. And like, I almost got like a break from people for a second. It was like a five-minute break, you know? Mm-hmm. Totally. But, yeah. But, but, but my point is, is that you don't be too hard on yourself. Like, also the very fact that you're actively pursuing quitting is also so great. You know you want to quit you know you want to be around for your kids don't stress yourself out too much because that's also not good for you just like enjoy just don't be too hard on yourself that's my

that's my other piece of advice right yeah exactly shame shame is a horrible feeling yeah you know it's it's very debilitating but thank you liz thank you liz okay hello kate and oliver i am so glad Sibling Leverly is back. The episode with Jen and Barbara Bush is great, and I'm looking forward to more episodes. Oliver, you crack me. Every time you complain about being the least famous family member, dude, you are Joey Potter's boyfriend,

and you're on a TV show with Kronk and Kuzko. I think you've made it. That's Spade and Warburden from, like, some cartoon. My sibling story. My brother and I were born raised North Carolina. We had a great childhood. My brother was five years older than me, and I thought he was cool. I always wanted to hang out with him and do the things he was doing. He played tennis, so I started playing tennis. He was in the band, so I joined the band in middle

school. As young kids, we spent time together exploring the outdoors, playing board games. When he became a teenager, I wasn't cool anymore, and when I became a teenager, he was leading for college. But through it all, we remained close because it was just the two of us. My brother's favorite thing was to play pranks on everyone, and I was an easy target being the younger sibling. He once told me I was adopted because I was the only family member with curly hair. It was like you. I know. He would say things like, hey, I saw spider crawling in your bed and it's going to get you later tonight.

He was always jumping out from behind a wall to scare stone her family. He laughed at everything all the time, even when laughing was inappropriate to the given situation. He was a lot of fun. My wife is an only child, so she was thrilled to gain a sibling when we got married. We have three kids, and my brother was an amazing uncle and brother-in-law. So it was. My kids adored him. At Christmases or birthdays, my wife and I would drive ourselves crazy trying to pick out the best gifts for our kids,

and then my brother's gift to them would always end up being their favorites. Unfortunately, my brother died unexpectedly in 2016 at the age of 41. He had an aortic dissection, the same thing as John Ritter. Your episode with Jason and Tyler Ritter was cathartic for me because they described the shock of not knowing their father was going to die, no warning signs, he was healthy one day and gone the next. That is the way I felt. That's the way it felt with my brother. His death wrecked my family. Watching my parents lose a child was heartbreaking.

Watching my kids lose their only uncle was extremely painful. Losing my only sibling was devastating. As adults, my brother and I became more than that. just brothers, we became friends. He was my best man at my wedding. He went with us to Disney World when my kids were young. I wish we had lived closer to each other in the last years. Of course, I had no way of knowing they would be his last years. He lives in NYC, but I always been one of his dreams. And we lived in Florida. We typically saw each other on holidays, but sometimes I have the thought, why didn't you take one more trip to NYC?

I have learned to live that I can't live with regrets. I know we will all be reunited, it again one day. Until then, we miss him every day and we have amazing memories. Thanks again, Kate and Oliver, especially for the episode with the Ritters, Brad. Oh.

Yeah. Man, that's rough. Loss just sucks. Like, it just sucks. Yeah. That we die. And then we have, like, these unexpected tragedies are just so, you know?

I know, I know, but it was, I remember that episode. That was a while ago, and with Jason and Tyler, and he said something. He said about the chapter, the book. Yes. That there was an expectation that there were more chapters, but it was the end of the book. That's the end of the book. It was maybe a little bit of a novelette. You know what I mean?

It was a shorter story, and there is no more chapters. That's what it is. It was really, even just the visual, the visual of, that it made so much sense you know what i mean like it is it was so healthy what a healthy thing to say and you know you know the thing is is that unfortunately i mean look you know we we have a friend of our brothers just passed away unexpectedly like crazy um 30 in his late 30s and these things that they happen you don't think that they're going to happen to you or your family And I think when they do, yeah, it just completely shakes the foundation,

like just not only shakes the foundation, but like crumbles the foundation of the family. Oh, yeah. The healing process can work if you choose to allow yourself to really breathe. Right. And I think it sort of becomes, it does, it's like when Ellie, our therapist would say that the root of all human suffering is stems from expectation because that you have again like what the ridder said you know you have this expectation that it's supposed to be a certain way and that if it's not a certain way that means it's a failure of a life or there's a there's such it didn't you know it's

it's it's not the way it's supposed to be and it's and you have to to figure out how to learn to live when you feel that, like, depth of sadness and loss. Oh, God. Like, how do you live? I don't know. I don't know. I can't even think about it because I don't know. I think, obviously, I think certain people are stronger than others.

You know, there is a lesson that you learn. There is a world that you sort of discover that hopefully leads to healing, you know, But just on the surface, thinking about it, I can't even fucking imagine. But it's almost like our body goes into a different place. Maybe something clicks where you go into survival mode, heel mode, meaning like, I don't have a choice, but to keep going and to survive. I think that's what it is. You know, we have these friends that lost a daughter. They're never gone.

They're still, the daughter still, it's like when you're sitting. her on a table with them, it's like she's still there. And they, and they, they choose to speak of her instead of not speak of it, you know? And they refer to her and they, you know, laugh about certain things. Oh my God. Or they would say like, oh, she would have loved this, you know. And I think after time goes by a little bit, that becomes a little bit easier to get through. You get, you get, You can get through that dinner, feeling them, and being able to laugh and enjoy the dinner, versus, you know, if you, if you grieve, if you allow yourself to greet. Well, thank you, Brad, for sharing. You know, it's tough shit, man, but it sounds like you have a pretty good head on your shoulders.

Yeah, Brad, we're so sorry for that loss. That's just terrible. And, yeah, thank you.

Been with my husband since I was 18 years old, married going on 21 years. I have watched your parents and you both since I was very young.

Yeah. Butterflies are free was my first introduction to your mom. Wow. I was hooked. Big travel little China. Yes. And tango and cash for your paw. Amazing. Then overboard. L.O.L. watched a million times. Still a few times a year. Oliver, rules of engagement. I watched through twice. Loved it and you. Nashville. Oh, man. Kate. Almost famous. How to lose a guy in 10 days. Huge fan. I love this bio. No, I know. I'm going to copy and paste. This is like the greatest, the greatest hits of, there's no, why it's missing. I know. We talk in movie quotes as a fun family game in our house. Almost Famous Comes up a lot. Yeah, there's some good ones in almost fame. I do not have a full blood sibling, rather many halves.

And I know of most of them, but was raised with my stepbrother and younger half-sister. My brother was nine years older than nine. me and was my best friend we met when i was three and that was it for me he became my world my sister was six years younger than me and we never really clicked from early on my brother was killed when i was twenty my oldest was conceived the week he disappeared and we later found out died that same week he was due four days after my brother's birthday we were trying to get pregnant and i feel my brother helped in some way to help me heal by bringing a new life into the world. My sister spiraled and turned to drugs and we grew further apart. One year and five months later, my dad died. It was my stepdad,

but was my curt. And mother also had problems with drugs and secret. I found out later. I've tried for 20 years on and off to help, but ultimately had to draw the line. I put myself and family first. My mother has always put my sister first and still does. My sister. My sister, Mr. and I no longer talk, and she's very sick with heart issues and still on drugs. It's a matter of time before we get a call that she has passed. She lost her daughter. She was in foster care and now has lost all parental rights, so we're trying to adopt her now to give her a life she deserves.

Your podcast gives me so much joy. I listen in the car while working anywhere, L.O.L. Your bond is so amazing, and it makes me smile. My boys are four years apart and were so close when little, but grew apart due to years apart and different phases of growing up. They're coming back together now and I tell them to cherish it because the ones I was closest to and life left me before I was ready. So I tell them to stay close and be there for each other. I tried with my mom and sister and when it takes a toll on you mentally, emotionally and physically, you have to cut that tie. That's right. I will love them

unconditionally but can only relate conditionally. They can't do that. So I know I have done my best. You guys are an inspiration and make me laugh. Oliver, your ability to open up and be raw and real is so refreshing. Lots of men just cannot do that. So thank you. Kate, you embody true joy in your outlook on life. You love fiercely. I can hear it in your stories. Aw. You both do. You are just a gem. Your smile is the best smile in the world, according to my husband. It lights up a room, he says, and I agree wholeheartedly. So I just wanted to say thank you, and I'm so glad you are back for another season. It brings me peace to listen to you both.

I can tune out the world for a bit, then get back to it, recharge, and rest to attack another date. Thanks again. Love you both. Jody. Oh, Jody. Great note. I like that one. Oh, your life.

Oh, my God. There's so much to unpack in this email. God, incredible. You know, because first of all, I think that, yes, your brother clearly not only was there to help, like, foster this child into your life, for sure. I believe in those things, a thousand per second. Like, I believe that Danny's dad really brought Danny and I together. Like, I just know that that was something that was cooking somewhere. else that we had that like force that helped that come together um and have ronnie um and

so i so your brother is clearly like your angel and then when you think about like a life first all drugs oh well i mean fucking worst it's awesome and it's so sad because you see people you love the most you see people who are really smart intelligent wonderful people just get completely sucked in the drug addictions and I don't know it's just upsetting well it's just also crazy you know I mean you know again you talk about what you can handle you know emotionally and it makes me my problems feel you know, very insignificant when you read a story like this and what kind of family dynamic there is and all the drugs and then the death and then the sister sort of losing her daughter

and now they're trying to adopt her. I mean, you know, that's some real shit right there. I mean, that is, that's serious. And like the truth is at some point we should do a podcast on this because it's, I mean, the opioid, you know, I know that every. everybody talks about the fact that there's like just because we know that there's a crisis doesn't mean that it's changing um and so the so many families are like completely torn up by these painkillers yeah and and that and then where that how that just spirals um yeah you know it resonated with me too was was um uh because my boys are four years apart and they were close when they were little and then grew apart and i always tell my boys, you know, all the three of them, but especially the boys, are just like, hey,

you know, make sure you love each other, God damn it, because, you know, this is extremely important and family is pretty much all you have at the end of the day. Yes, you're going to have friends, you're going to have lovers, you're going to have hopefully one wife or whatever it is, but like that bond is so precious and important that, you know, I know it seems insignificant now to you, but you need to cultivate it, you know. And I get scared about that. that. I'm like, God, I hope everyone's close when they're older. I don't kill me if they weren't.

No, it's true. They have to kids have to like, but you also like, they, they don't choose each other. That's the other thing. You know, you want that to be the case, but like she says, there are also moments where you're like, no, like you have to draw boundaries.

Yeah. And when people cross that, it doesn't matter if your family or not, if it's unhealthy, if it's toxic, if it's If it's abusive, you know, you have to, and it's so hard to do. You have to find that strength to set really strong boundaries. That's really hard to do too. And Jody, that takes so much strength.

Yeah, thank you. And then also to take the baby to try to adopt the baby. Oh, God, amazing. I mean, I'm glad our podcast brings you joy and, you know, makes you feel refreshed and recharged. I mean, I don't know if I'd adopt your baby. What? I don't know.

Are you out of your mind? I just have so much going on. I'd rather have Wyatt take my babies anyway. Oh, no. All right, thank you, Jody. Thank you, Jody. Hello, Oliver and Kate. I'm so happy the new season has started.

You're two episodes in, and it's already so great. Your podcast is by far my favorite, and I never want an episode to end. My brother and I are two years apart, almost exactly. I'm 53. He's 51. We do a lot of reminiscing about our childhood in the last few years, and it's amazing how we remember little things the other does adore, how we experienced events in a different way. Our parents have been married for almost 55 years now,

and we were so fortunate to have more good times than bad growing up. I really enjoy listening to how you all relate with one another, much like my brother and I do. We grow even closer as we get older. We're from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but my husband and I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, to be closer to our kids and grandkids. It's hard to be eight hours away from your immediate family,

but when we visit each other, it's definitely more meaningful. I do wish we had your setup, though, all of you living so close, that's special. Then there's my husband and his older sister, totally different dynamic and not close to each other at all. They lost their parents young, and she is five years older than he is. They drive each other crazy, totally different personalities. Though they love each other, they don't have conversations.

They just check in. Sibling relationships are fascinating, and I'm so glad you two decided to start this podcast years ago. Love it, love it, love it. I'm the one with the anxiety, and Aaron is the one who looks at everything reasonably. On a side note, I always enjoy the movies and television shows that you have both been a part of. and have followed your careers. I've always been a huge fan of your mom. My brother and I must have watched.

Seems like old times, a million times on HBO when we were young. Bad in Protocol, where HBO stateful stack in the eight. Much love to you both. Thanks for the last two. Holly Yoho. Holly Yoho. Love her name. Yoho, yo, ho.

Oh, ho, higher is life for me. another interesting story, but I also just feel like, I don't know. I always feel so sad when siblings don't connect. I know. At least they do check-ins. I feel like they're doing all that they can. And it's like you said, they didn't choose each other. You're born into this.

And sometimes it just doesn't work out. Like, eh, we're different. I respect you. I hope everything's good. And we'll do a little check-in. But we're just don't buy. We don't connect. And by the way, it seems like old times is probably, it's definitely top three favorite of mom's movies.

And protocol. For me, yeah. And Protocol, amazing. Seems like Old Times with Charles Roden and Chevy Chase. It's just so fucking good and so funny. So good. I love it. So much.

I know. And it's the chicken paprika. Chicken pepperoni. Chicken pepperoni. Chicken pepperoni. It's like Hungarian, the Hungarian chewing. Well, I think mom. and grandma used to make chicken paprika all the time actually all the time are you kidding paprika

grandma put paprika in everything oh yeah she's made like paprika ice cream and like she's like it's a paprika blitz oh my god uh i had blinces today i haven't i haven't had a jewish jelly and i had a blitz so good with jelly huh with jelly yeah it was so good Holly thank you for sharing thank you Holly yo ho yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho holly is a pirate life for me hi Kate and Oliver how wild is it that I can just send you all an email and hope you read it anyway my love for my siblings oozes out of me and I'm always

looking for another rooftop to shout it from happens to be my favorite podcast and therefore the most obvious rooftop for shouting here it goes i am the oldest of four siblings three girls and the last is the baby boy of the family we are obsessed with each other we talk on the phone at least 10 times a day i mean to the point where our significant others are sometimes nauseated by it we're each other's best friends lifelines soulmates it's a bond that will always be unmatched because who else can say that they witnessed every melodramatic meltdown at every awkward childhood phase of your life and yet still love you unconditionally,

only a sibling. I have always told them anything, anytime, anywhere. Aw. We mostly grew up in Annapolis, Maryland, before our parents split up in geographically parted ways as well. We've since started our own careers and families. It is not lost on me with a deep privilege it is to witness my baby siblings grow and thrive. In fact, it is one of only a couple of things that I am truly proud of. I am 28 and living in West Virginia now is my husband and seven-month-old son. My sisters are 26 and 23 and my brother turning 21 in June. We are at such a fun time in our adult lives all in our 20s figuring out life together. Wow. That's cool. I'm writing in because recently my bond with my sibling became even more special when my 23-year-old sister and I found out

that we were pregnant three months apart. Oh, my God. I gave birth in September 22, and watching my siblings love on my own baby is like watching multiple hearts beat out of my chest. The best. In December, my 23-year-old sister at the September 22 also gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Christmas Eve 2022, following the birth of her son named Hudson. My sister, Hemrid, and underwent multiple surgeries and a several-day stay in the ICU where she fought for her life. We were anxiously, so many, we don't even talk about how many women, you know, we've lost to having babies recently. It's like gone up. We were anxiously awaiting the news of Hudson's birth when we got the news of her condition.

Without hesitation, this always scares me. Without hesitation, I loaded up the car, my three-month-old son, Lane, and my husband, and raised to the hospital in a panic, audibly praying to God, he wouldn't take my son. Anyway, she survived. Right. Okay. She made it. She made it.

I know she made it. So my 26-year-old sister got on the first flight home from Florida. My brother slept in the hospital for days. Oh, what a family. I visited around the clock over the period of a week, nursing my own son in between visits. My sister survived, though she has forever changed from that experience as are we. As I combed my sister's hair, Christmas morning in the hospital. I showed her photos of her beautiful boy just born, whom she hadn't even got to hold.

All I could think about is how lucky we are to have each other, especially in tragic circumstances. She's now the most graceful and loving mother And despite her less than ideal start to motherhood Has never once complained She's my baby sister I'm in awe of her and learning from her every day My husband and I are now moving our own little family Back to Maryland where we have made the clear choice

To raise both cousins as brothers More families need to be like this It's like us With the kids People don't realize how important this unit is to try to strive for that. But you can tell that there's so much love here. Oh, my gosh. I mean, she really is oozing.

Yeah. Love. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. I love this email. Louis family, the four of us siblings will all live in two counties on the eastern shore of Maryland. Two cousins will now grow up to be just as close as the.

four of us are. Yay. My sister's near-death experience rattled us all to our core. And if we didn't love each other before, we are smothering each other now. I love our relationship and I really, really, really love them. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. Anything, anytime, anywhere. Thank you for your podcast. An opportunity to share special stories about siblings. It is an uplifting, heartwarming, listening experience that I'm grateful for. Lots of love to you and your gorgeous family sincerely. Megan, the oldest and proud of. I love Megan. Thank God that had a happy ending.

Oh my God. Megan, you made me emotional because you know, like, I think sometimes the hardest thing about love, like real deep, unconditional love is the idea of loss, is that you could lose them and how hard that, how bad that would hurt, you know? And so sometimes people choose not to give so much love and fear of it being taken away when you have four siblings that all

have that ability to like be so open-hearted and like loving and supportive that like everyone drops every everything at the drop of the hat if something's happening with a sibling it's like no no no there's no like i don't show up right like no matter what you're there and and that support, that love, that is what I think, honestly, I know, sounds crazy, but I think this world needs more than anything. I mean, maybe it's not crazy. Like, we, our support systems at home is everything. It's everything.

Yeah. No, it's true. It is true. You know, and everyone, you know, has their different experiences with that home. As far as Megan goes, it's like you said, you can feel the love through her words. And you really can. It's pretty phenomenal how tight they all are. And I can't imagine being the husband or the wife of the siblings.

We're like, oh, my God, here they go again. Like these four siblings, like, would you guys please get off the phone? Please. You have another life over here. they're also in their 20s no i know they're so young it's like it's so cool it this seems awesome you know i feel like if we had face time in our 20s that we would have talked all the time yes oh for sure yeah that's an interesting point like a facetime obviously has brought everyone closer but as far as pertaining to siblings you know you're still connected i mean

all the time. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that was awesome. That was the best. All of them were great. Megan's was amazing. You gave me what Ronnie, like, Ronnie looks at me and she's like, are those happy tears now? Yes.

They're happy to you. And the other day was like, Dad, have you ever cried? I'm like, what do you mean? Like, yeah, I cry all the time. And she's like, I've never seen you cry. I'm like, you must have seen me cry. I cry like Laker Games. Well, I'm worried that I don't cry enough in front of my kids.

No, you cry too much. That's what I tried to tell her, but she's telling me. I know. I'm going to wake her up. It means she's not paying attention. I'm waking her up every morning, just sobbing. Like, it's signing on a screw up. Oh, my God. Oh, this is so fun.

Ollie, we have to do our coffee table book. We have to take some of our favorite letters. And do get them to take pictures, family picture. Yeah, I love that. And so we can do it. Coffee table book. But I've had an idea for coffee table book, then we'll be done. But I've ever told you about it, it's the depiction through artists' renderings,

through, like, famous artists, good artists, current modern day artists of all the president's dicks. so like you have George Washington all the way up through Joe Biden and it's like you know of all the things that you could have said that was so far from what I would have ever but wouldn't you buy that it's like the interpretation of their of their penises rue the artist's mind given sort of who they were in history you know what I mean like what would George Washington's dick look like

you know I mean I would probably like a good like a like a like beautiful for sure like a mushroom big mushroom head because of his hair but

it sounds crazy but imagine you get great artists like it's beautiful work and it's their interpretation based on history based on their personalities through history what their dicks would look like would you not buy that for Christmas and give it to paw?

But I would buy that as an art piece. That's what I mean. It's beautiful. Yeah. If, like, Francesco Clemente did, like, a watercolor of, like, Abraham Lincoln's penis. Yes. Exactly. I would buy it.

Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. It's a huge idea. Oh, my God. Jeff Coons does, like, a huge, like, a huge, like, like, like, a huge, like, like, sculpture peanut

yeah yeah it's just so crazy it's just so crazy it's a great it's a great idea I'm in
