Excuse me. See you there. On the Bectalcast, the questions asked if movies have women in them. Are all their discussions, just boyfriends and husbands, or do they individualism the patriarchy's effin vast start changing it with the beckdel cast hello listeners hello live from Chicago hotel room with bunk beds it's us it's us we just wanted to check in we are in the middle the exact middle of our Midwestern tour we had super fun shows in

Indianapolis and Chicago so far and fun shows to come We're heading to Madison and Minneapolis in a few days, but we just wanted to basically check in with this little, baby little itty-bitty minisode to say we're not releasing a full episode this week on account of us being busy on tour. We've been too busy generating live content. Ever heard of it? It's called leaving your home.

But no, yeah, as you can imagine, it is difficult to continue to produce episodes while on the road. So we decided we're just going to take. the week off to everyone who has been out to show so far thank you so much we've had so much fun we've been I feel like we've been at the merge table and meet and greet like over an hour both time so far almost as long as the live shows done yeah kind of like our how our episodes are always longer than the movie sometimes the meet and greet is longer than the show um it's super fun I mean if you're listening to this the day it comes out and you're in Madison Wisconsin

come and see us tonight if you want to see us tonight if you want to see us in Minneapolis, I think we're sold out. If not sold out, very, very close. Yeah. But yeah, check the ticket link at Linktree slash Bechtelcast. And we're just, we're having a lovely little time at our hotel in Chicago. I feel like my favorite fun fact of the tour thus far is that we somehow ended up with a room with bunk beds, but we also got a bottle of champagne.

So it's very adult sleepover vibes here. We, right. We got fancy little chocolates and a free bottle of champagne because, when we checked in the concierge yeah was like Caitlin you're a VIP member and I'm like that's not true I have no memberships I've never you have an online account the old five your royalty I had I don't know what they're talking about the only membership I have is for AMCA A list I mean and God bless me too um no but I mean the only exchange is that I have to climb a ladder to go to bed so it's just it's the

thrill. We're living, laughing, loving. And we will be back next week. We have a great slate of fall episodes. We've got a great slate of horror episodes. We've got returning guests. We've got new guests. And yeah, buckle in another great Bexelcast season on the way right after this little reprieve. Happy Labor Day four days ago. Hope you weren't laboring. Love you. Bye.
