Brought to you by the Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council. This is the almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. Hey, everybody. It's Bob Guinea here, and we are back on a little bit famous. We just cannot quit showing our love. love for Farmer wants of Brunette. Sorry, Farmer wants a wife. Literally. Literally Farmer loves a brunette.

Yep, which you know what? All present company blondes excluded. You know, in this particular show, yes, in this particular show, they were doing it. We thought we were done. We thought we were out. And they just keep pulling us back in, don't they? I mean, we love it too, because, like, we've gotten some comments being like, are you going to interview this person?

Are you going to interview this person? It's like if they want to come on, like obviously the door is open. We have asked for everyone. Schedules just didn't work out for some people. I don't know if some people want to come on. Well, I'll tell you this, though, especially the comments were big on this particular person because this person, of course, was a finalist. Also, of course, as the rest of the cast, very beautiful, very completely.

very composed, very, you know, very kinder, gentler until she wasn't. Right? Until she wasn't. We got to talk about this breakup because it was, it was a rough watch. We said that. And she's also been posting quite a bit of stuff on her socials since the show finished. So obviously, we are talking about Brittany from Farmer Braden's, Farn. Britney Graham, everybody. And I also, we need to get to the bottom of this. I'm tired of asking, and this is the last time I'm asking. I need to know what Carson said off camera. We have asked. I think Britney will tell us. I'm hoping Brittany will tell us because nobody else has. So let's bring her in. Oh, you are just the cutest. We're so excited to have you on the podcast. Thanks so much for coming on. Yeah. Thank you so much for having me. I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited.

Wee, why are you nervous? You're nervous? There's just so much that has happened, you know, obviously since the finale. So I'm just a little nervous to talk about it. But I'm excited. Well, we're excited to have you. You don't have anything to be nervous about. Exactly.

Be good nervous. Well, we should rewind, though, and talk just first of all, how did you get on the show? Like, you know, did you apply by yourself? Did somebody nominate you? Had you audition for other dating shows prior to this one? Um, yeah. So, honestly, I don't know what compelled me to do it, but I saw Farmer Once a Wife on TikTok. Um, it kept popping up in my feet and I was like, wow, this show, what is the show? Like, Farmers Country, that's so me. Um, so I, honestly, I went on to Farmer OnesofWife.

Dot com or Googled it and it just said apply. So I just put my information in. It was like April. and didn't think about it ever again. Like until I think at the end of May, I got a text and I thought it was a scam. And they were like the casting directors, you know, it just feels so surreal. You don't ever think it's going to happen to you. So I just felt like it was, yeah,

it was super surreal and I just kept moving forward and forward. And I got on the show. I love that. That's awesome. If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked if I'm a scam artist. Yeah, I'm sure. I have quite a bit of nickels. I'll just say that.

With good reason, though, because you do come off kind of scammy. I do come off a little scammy, I guess, in my day-to-day-like. You got that producer vibe. Your producer vibe makes us on-camera people want to like you, but afraid of you. It's just how it works. It's just how it works. Right, Brittany? It's all we got.

Yes. Yes. Well, you are adorable. And I've said it, you know, I was immediately drawn to you, especially in the finale, because when I was The Bachelor, which was probably when you were a baby, I came down to my last two people, and your ending was so reminiscent of my runner-ups ending that it was like, it gave me flashbacks.

It literally gave me chills. I mean, it was like watching it. Not in a good way, Brittany. Not in a good way. No, actually, it was a good way because I still really like Kelly Joe a lot. But it was one of those things where I remember watching it, and it was like, arms drop, and you're like pissed. then I'm like, oh, here we go.

Finally, we get some, we get some drama on this season, because we loved this season, but it was a little light on the drama, except, yeah, we can get to that except for who? Your farm in general had the most drama. I think you could agree with that, watching it back, other than Sean had a little drama too, but things were peachy keen over on Farmer Brett's farm,

for that's for sure. There's nothing happening over there. This farmer wants a laugh. My farm definitely, yeah, I think we all knew that though, during while we were filming it, because I was really close with Cam and Casey. And so I remember always like talking to them like, oh my gosh, like so much stuff is happening. Yeah. And like it really is so, so real as for TV show.

Like obviously a lot of it is, you know, a show. But it's it's definitely a lot of real emotions, a lot of like real things. Oh, sure. Well, I think, you know, a lot of things that people. don't realize is you go on this show with no expectations. Yes. And then you're in this heightened almost like, you know, like a microcosm of the real world. And you and all you can think about is this potential relationship and where it might go.

And then you make these great friendships with like-minded people. And, you know, I get it. I mean, it totally makes sense that you go through this and this happens. But, I mean, their emotions are real, right? And some of it is a TV show, but it's never, the emotions part is in a TV. show. That's really what's what you're feeling. Yeah, exactly what I was trying to say. It's like, you don't, I never, I thought

it was just going to be like a fun experience. And it was like a fun experience. I thought, you know, if I just want to leave, I'll just leave. Like, what's the big deal? And you get there and it's not that easy. You start, you know, you start falling for the farmer. You start having

real emotions. You start, you're in this bubble. That's all the best way I can describe it as a bubble. Yeah. Of reality TV and the show. And who did you say you got close to? You got close to Casey and Casey extremely and then in Cam. And Cam.

Oh, you know, who she didn't say was Carson. And so I think that's what we have to unpack a little bit. So we need it. We need your help on this, Brittany, because we think everyone has been tiptoeing around Carson thing. And even Carson. Carson is like, I don't know what they're talking about. It was right.

Yeah. Came on the pod had no idea what she said off camera that you guys. all happened to have heard and told Braden about. So, I need you, Brittany, to actually set the record straight. What did Carson say about Braden that ultimately you guys all felt compelled enough to tell him about? Oh, gosh. I mean, without, you know, disrespecting her and her side of the story. Wait, why would it be disrespecting her? I know. I just, I don't know. I just don't want of her feelings or anything, but I definitely will speak on, you know, my experience with her. And, you know, all that was was real on and off camera of the issues that we had with her.

We all just felt like she was someone completely different. And we just caught her in a lot of lies. And so we were just like, we don't really really know this girl. Like, who was Carson? Right. What kind of lies? Like the refrigerator photo lies or like something else? Yeah, how, I mean, just seeing her, you know, watching the show back and seeing her interviews with, you know, how she put the camera, pictures up on the fridge.

I mean, how we didn't like that. It's like, well, obviously, Carson, we didn't like that. Well, she claimed on our podcast that she didn't do. that. She said that when she saw them on the fridge, that was the first time she saw them on the fridge. Oh, I didn't know that. I mean, I think she, she definitely saw it before we showed up. That's, I'm sure. For sure, she did. Yeah, I mean, and the things that she would say off camera about Braden, I didn't really, I lost respect, a lot of respect right there. It was very early on when we first get to the farm. And I'm like, why are you talking about, kind of poorly about the guy that

all dating, like that you supposedly like. You know, you just got off having a one-on-one with him. You're supposed to be, you know, super giddy and about him. And then you're kind of talking poorly about him. So I just like, I don't trust her. When you say like talking poorly, was it more like, you know, oh, you know, we don't really have anything in common or, oh, I don't like this. Yeah, stuff like that.

We're talking about, you know, her, which she's totally valid for her experience with him. I mean. Right. But, you know, she just, it was like weird. And then she, when she, when he would come around, she'd be all like giddy and excited. And I feel like she was so about him. And then off camera, she would like kind of, you know, talk bad. And I'm just like, okay, I don't understand why you're here if you don't really like it.

But then you do like it. And then, yeah, I don't know. So do you feel like she liked, she liked the element of the competition element of the show more so than she actually. liked him because I mean he's a good looking guy he seems really nice so it's like you know and so was she more like you know I'm not into him or you know that kind of thing

directly but it was just again really hard to like gauge her and know what was true was not true and then again just like small little lies that she would say to us the girls in the house off camera were just like

it didn't make sense so yeah okay well And whatever we're having to read between the lines here, Bob, because she's being very polite and not saying what I want her to say. I know. But whatever it was, you felt compelled to tell Brayden about this behavior on camera. Were you nervous about that? Were you afraid to tell him in terms of like that this could, you know, impact your connection with him? Tell me kind of about what was going through your head when you decided.

to come forward. I was totally nervous. I mean, I didn't even know. None of us really knew if we were going to tell them. We kept talking about it. We kind of wanted to. Then they were like, no, we shouldn't. For me, it was more of like, I didn't want to come off as him thinking I'm jealous or trying to persuade him away from her to like me more. I didn't want to come across that way. So it was really hard to like try to talk to him about it and then at the horse race you know the producers were like you should talk to braiding about carcene you should let him know and i'm like i don't think i should i i remember telling them if he brings it up and asks about how's it going in the house and it comes up naturally i'm not going to lie and i will say my piece or like my side so that's

kind of like that is kind of what happened and i try they cut out a lot of that conversation because I did say, you know, like I'm sure she means well. I think, you know, there's a side of her that is so great. You've seen it. We've seen it. But we just want to, I just want you to be aware that, you know, she's not the same person. So, yeah. Yeah. I get that. I mean, I think, you know, it's hard because when you're the guy, too, in that situation or even when the situation is reversed and it's like, you know, when there's a female leader or whatever. And you're in that situation, you're not seeing any of that. Right. So this is, it comes to. It comes to. It comes to. a shock sometimes. Like you're like, oh my God. And then you do. You do start wondering, like, you know, it's almost like kill the messenger time, right? It could go down that way. And it doesn't always, thankfully. It didn't in your case, obviously. But it's one of those things where it's like, you know, that could happen. So you were, you were not wrong to really second guess whether or not you should come forward. Yeah. I mean, and I just really did, you know, I cared about him from just getting to know him that little bit. So I, and we were all there for him. And so we wanted to express

are concerns that maybe she wasn't there for you. I'm sure there was like power in numbers too because you weren't the only one who ended up telling him so that probably ended up helping as well to get the message across.

You had a solo date with Braden where you went to the cider place that you guys were making. I need to know how cold Was it on that date?

Because I thought your lips were blue on campus. It was cold. It was cold. Yes. I mean, yeah, it was freezing. I remember just shaking.

And yeah, it was, but other than that, and it's windy in Illinois. Like, uh-huh. And the wind is not, like,

no, it's not for the week. So, yeah, I was freezing the whole time. They cut out like a hay ride that we did where I was literally like shaking. We had blankets and I was still shaking.

So. Poor thing. We're watching it and I go, it must have. They showed snow on the ground. I go, this girl is freezing on this. Lips looked blue. Oh, man. That's funny. Tell me about, you know, we saw your family come to the farm and they seemed a little bit skeptical of this whole thing. Up until that point, were you having any sort of trepidations? or reservations about this connection and moving forward? And what did it feel like to kind of see it on their faces and kind of hear from them in that

moment? Like, did it give you a moment of pause then or reaffirm anything? Kind of explain to us what was going on at that point. Yeah. I mean, my sister and I are really close. And so I do remember, I do remember just not understanding why she was so skeptical, actually. because I really felt like, you know, what me and Braden had was real. I thought, obviously, I thought he was going to, you know, choose me. And so I just was like, I don't understand.

I didn't understand why she was so skeptical. But looking back, I'm like, oh my gosh. Like, she was skeptical because there was another girl and that she didn't want me to get her. And she didn't want me to be too confident in that. obviously so I wouldn't be so devastated but yeah I do remember you know I think we talked off camera too about you know her concerns

and she just was really skeptical about the whole thing from the moment she got there she didn't really she liked Braden she you know thought he was a great guy but I think she and her she thought you know well I don't really know him like of course he's saying all the right things Brett

Right, right. Did she feel like she got a more, a better read on Braden because she wasn't in the quote unquote bubble? Totally. Yes. And I wish we'll be back, you know, she's my older sister. I wish I would have, I wish I would have been so blinded by my own little perception. It's easy to say, Brittany, but when you're putting all of your heart on the line and the emotions, it's really. hard to not have the rose-colored glasses on when you're feeling all the feels that come with,

you know, love. Like, it's hard to get back down to earth and put the feet on the ground, you know, I think Bob can attest to that. He's been on the other side, both times. He's been a contestant and been a lead, you know, so he knows. And I'll say this, too. I mean, I think, you know, I thought you handled it really well. I thought your sister, you know, it was kind of interesting watching it as a, as a viewer,

you know, and you're like, oh, I'm so excited that my sister's going to be here because, you know, she's always got the biggest personality with this kind of stuff. And we're watching and the sister's just like, it has nothing to say, right? And I remember thinking, yeah, and you're like, what is going on? And but I, but you know what? That is, it reminded me of my sister. You know, my sister was all, my sister was the same way in that she was normally, you know, so effusive.

And then all of a sudden she's sitting there silent, you know, it's like crickets. And so I get it, right? And it's like, but that was your sister's way of basically like not. embarrassing you by going, I'm not into this dude, right? And not putting it out there to like crush your dreams because she's hopeful you're going to get what you want. Right. But I mean, she was basically not also not putting on a parade of BS either, right? Which is, that's why you love her. You know, that's why she's, that's why she's your best friend. You know, it's like she's sitting there going, I love you and I want you to be happy, but I'm just not

100% sold on this situation. And I get it. And it's so foreign. She's, you know, we're raised Christian. Christian women and family oriented. And so I think she just felt like, yeah, it's weird that he's dating another guy. Like, this shouldn't be a thing. Right, right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, another girl, you know, like, he shouldn't be dating another girl. He should just be dating my sister.

And, like, I'm like, it's not, yeah, like, she just, it's hard for her to comprehend that, you know, this is the show. Yeah, like, you knew what you signed up for, but she didn't sign up for that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I get it. I totally get it. The breakup was a really hard watch. I mean, especially for us who watched this entire season,

especially for me, who was, you know, held bent on saying you were going to be the chosen one on that farm. I was really, I was really emotionally invested in you. And it was hard for me to watch because, especially when you came back after, you know, the initial breakup chat, and you came back and you said, why not me? That is what goes through our heads in these moments.

Cameras are no cameras. That's what you think when you get dumped, you know? And it's a tough thing. Did you watch it back the breakup since it happened? And was it like how you remembered it happening? I debated so hard if I was going to watch that ending, just because I do remember it being very emotional for me and very hard. And yeah, when I watched it back, it did bring, it did bring you right back.

You know, it brought back all those emotions that I felt. It was really hard to watch myself, you know, get broken up with and not be chosen. Yeah, you just, I honestly didn't even like remember there being cameras. I just remember, you know, just being excited. I was so, so hopeful that, you know, I wasn't really thinking for being totally honest that I wasn't going to get, you know, chosen. I was like, you know, what we had is so, like, you know,

a real, I thought so many things were going through my brain. And so, yeah, it was really hard. That was really, really hard to watch that back. When you've watched the season back, now hindsight, do you see something different when you watch his and Casey's connection? Totally. You know, and, you know, Casey and I, we are so, we're so close and I do have so much respect for Brayden. I mean, you know, it must be so hard, too, on his, like, in his shoes. I really had to take a step back after I got home and try to, like, put myself in his shoes of how hard that could be

for someone to carry all these girls, you know, especially down to the final two and have to make a decision. So I totally empathize with him. But yeah, looking back, I'm like, oh, my gosh, of course. It was so clear. Today, it was Casey. Brittany, it wasn't clear for me. I was rooting for you the whole time. Hey, to be clear, we were both rooting for you, but I will tell you, I, I, Casey was my pick.

Yeah. across all the farms. I mean, I was like, oh, my God, she's, and it was just this connection I saw with the two of them. Totally. And, but I want to say this to you, because I think it's so nice that you're, that what you just said, because I know, cry me a river. But when I was The Bachelor, the hardest part about the whole show for me was letting people go who had, hadn't done anything wrong, right?

And I saw that in Braden. I saw it in Brett. I saw it in all the guys that they were all really wrestling with that because, I mean, the casting on this show was absolutely spot on. Like they, they chose great guys on all the farms. I loved all the guys. And then they chose amazing,

truly amazing women that when you get down to the final two, you really are, you do have love for both of them. And you're saying they're going, I don't want to hurt this person. I love this person. But I'm feeling something here that's just pulling. It's not that you've done anything wrong.

It's that this thing is a little more right for me in this moment. And I think it's so great that you're saying that because a lot of people don't ever come to grips with that part of it and realize that it was a challenge for that person. And he's sitting here looking at two of the most beautiful women he's ever seen in his life who have, you know, so many things in common with him. But he's just got one more thing in common with this person or whatever it might be. Totally. And so it's great that you that you were able to say that because I do think Brandon Casey are an awesome couple. And I do think that he is a sweet heart of a. guy and and he he even said it when we had on the show he's like I was it was the hardest thing

I've ever done in my life you know and he's like I'm hopeful we can have a friendship and a relationship and I love hearing that because I think it's great that you and Casey still have that yeah because we were all you know friends on the show off camera and on camera and when we all would hang out it was like we were all just like friends hanging out together it wasn't really like oh we were all competing against this guy we're all we were all all together. It was like we were truly friends. And yeah, it was a great time. Well, just to piggyback off of what Bob said, we did have Casey and Brayden on the podcast.

And Casey said that you guys had still talked, but Braden said that you hadn't spoken, really, since that breakup and he understood that. But, you know, if Brayden's listening right now, is there anything that you would want to say to him? Oh, gosh. I mean, yeah, we haven't spoken. Since that day, I think I would just say, you know, as hard as it was for me to go through that, you know, I do have like so much respect for him. I mean, watching his interview too, after it really touched me and really showed me, okay, like, you know what? Because you don't think, you know, I was really like, yeah, I was kind of really hurt by him for a while after. and I couldn't understand, you know, everything that led to that decision at first for being

100% transparent. But yeah, I would just say, you know, I respect you and I wish him and Casey like truly nothing but the best. They're a beautiful couple and I think, you know, they were always meant to be together for sure. Heather, yet another reason why I love this damn show so much. Listen to her. I know. I know. Come on. You guys are just lovely people. I know. Molly Walker, my new best friend, you know how much I love this show. Look at this.

Brittany, I just love everything you're saying. It's all right. And I believe you. And I mean it. I do. Yeah. Yeah, you can tell. I believe her too.

And you know what? I will say, though, that sometimes it's not just space that brings this kind of clarity, but it's also maybe when you fall for somebody else. And the feelings kind of drift away. So I do want to know who this baseball player is that Brittany's been posting on her socials because she seems to have moved on and very happy. Tell us, Brittany, who is this baseball player you've been hanging out with? Yes.

So his name is Braden. Hilarious. No way. How crazy is that? That's crazy. You got to type. Hey, I got to tell you something. What can I say?

When I met my wife, when I met my wife, I said. started calling her by her last name because there were so many Jessica's in my life that I just couldn't, you know, it was like, and so I get it. I get it. I guess I'm a Jessica guy and you're a Braden guy. This is good. No, it was crazy. Yeah. So, you know, he's wonderful. I'm so, so, so happy. Braden and I are like, we're just best friends. And, yeah, I'm just really happy. I'm so, like, over the move. So, yeah. That's amazing. So, I mean. Did he say, slide into your DMs post show because I,

he saw you on the show and he's like, oh my God, I'm in love with this woman. And he's like, hey. Right. No. So actually we met, honestly,

prior to me going on the show. And then I wanted to fully be in, invested in my farmer. I wanted to be fully invested in the show. And so I kind of broke it. I, not kind of, I broke it off with my brain and now.

And after the show, I took, I think it was like three and a half months. Just like, I don't know, just to gather myself. Retoks. Yeah. To regain your faith in men because I would have been real pissed after that. Yeah. To feel to just get.

Bye, bye, men. Just to live my life again for myself, get back in my routine, all the things. And then I reached out to him. I was thinking about him and reached out to him, actually. And he flew me out to Florida where he was doing spring training. for the Red Sox. And then after that, kind of was like, honestly, really is history.

I realized, oh my gosh. Like, you're right in front of me this whole time kind of thing. Ah, I love it. It's going to get me emotional over here. So are you guys doing long distance? No, I actually moved for him. I moved, yeah. I didn't want to do long distance.

You're in Florida? So, no. So he's based in Boston. So I moved all the way over here. Oh, that's right. You said spring training was in Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I moved all the way for him. Long distance is not for me. I didn't want to do it. And I really feel like you can't really get to know someone truly, truly until you're with them every day in their everyday life.

Wow. Brittany, I have to commend you because the biggest storyline for you was will she move to the farm. And you are like, not only will I move, I will do it tomorrow for the right guy. you did it for the right guy oh my gosh that's why i really i really do need everything i say and like i yeah i really you know for love i'm such an emotional like i love hard when i like care about someone when i it goes both ways if i really don't like you it shows too like and so and so i really when i'm all in on someone i'm all in and that's just always been me i always have worn my heart in my sleeves and I kind of go in with no fear. Like, like, Braden.

Good for you. I love it. Yeah. So I definitely, that was the biggest backlash I got on the show is, why would they bring her on when she won't move? It's like, I never said that. Okay. Well, we actually, we discussed that.

We discussed that a little bit too, how, you know, you're like, I didn't say that. In fact, and you know, it's, you know, it's, you know what it is. It's like one of those things. It's like one of those things. It's like one of those things. moving, the moving, the moving. And I was like, we get it. You can't move the farm. We get it, Braden. I felt that too. That's why I felt like, you know, I felt like I was reassuring in the sense of like, I totally hear you. I get that. And I'll move for you. If it felt right.

If it's right. If it's right. But then they started poking holes in the fact of like what you do for a living wouldn't make sense out in his area because you're in aesthetics. And I was like, like me and Bob would talk about this and I was like, maybe nobody's getting talks on the farm, but I can believe that people are getting Botox and filler and doing all the stuff maybe outside of the farm, right? Like for sure. And like I invent what I said too. Like ideally I would want a big city.

Of course. Like Boston. Yeah. Like, you know, let's say like, you know, they're at the corner of Newbury and Exeter right there in downtown Boston. Yeah. But exactly. Yeah, so on Newberry Street. I love that street. But yeah, I would say like you ideally do. But again, like I would do, I would make it work for the right person. So I did mean when I said of like I will figure it out. I would, you know, aesthetics is my passion. It's my job. It's my career. Worked really hard for it like Brayden said. And so yeah, I definitely wouldn't have made of work, you know, but that's okay. I love this. I love the idea now, Molly Walker, my new best friend.

Maybe what we do is we get Farmer Braden and Casey together, baseball Braden and Brittany together. And we have like one big powwow on the horn here. And we, of course, I'll fly out with Heather and we will, you know, take you guys out to dinner. That's what I'm thinking we do. We bring the whole crew back to me. Oh, my gosh. That would be iconic.

That would be crazy. I'm just spitball and Molly. But, you know, that's what I'm saying. But no, I think this could be so fun. listen, you know what? The thing I love about these types of shows, and I've said it forever, and Heather knows, so here we go on my soapbox again.

But it's so funny, because you go on a show like this, and people are like, you know what? You can't get a date at home? You're like, no, bud. You don't understand. They cast women on these shows who never have had to compete for a man, right? They've never, they've wanted everything in their life.

You know, it's like, and then the guys are the same way. These guys come on. They're like, you know, everything is great. And that's why it's so. hard when you're not the person that's been chosen because when you put your heart out there, you've never not been chosen. And I went through that too. And it was like the hardest thing for me when Trista didn't choose me. I'm like, what are you kidding me? Like what do you mean? I just went through all of this for nothing. But then, to be frank, much like you, I'm looking at her and Ryan.

Ryan was my roommate when we were in the Bachelorette pad or whatever you would call it before they made me the bachelor. And she ended up and she and she and Ryan been together ever since. And Ryan was the guy who was sitting there writing poetry at night. And I was like, this dude is so in love with her. And it's amazing. And so when they got together, I was like, I see it. I get it. It was always him. It was always him. Yeah. But in the moment, you're like, well, it's got to be me too, right? Because I'm here. And, you know, I'm putting my heart out there. So I just love it. You are, you are exactly who I hoped you would be. And I was like, a lot of people come off of these shows. and they realized what they just went through

made them more open to love and maybe realizing what's around them and what's been under their nose the whole time. And what do I always say? I sell people this all the time when they're going on these dating shows. Listen, the odds are stacked against you. It's a numbers thing.

There's more girls than there are men, so you're unlikely to find love actually on this show. But if you use the opportunity to put out to the world what you're looking for, I always say it's highly likely that love will come into your life right after. And I mean, I hate to be the dead horse, but that is what's happened here. And we've seen it with some of your other cast members who have also gotten into relationships. You know, one of your, one of the girls on Sean's farm is dating Emily's brother. It's like, how would that have happened? Had she not

come on the show? You know what I mean? So it's like, this is what happens in the dating reality space. So we'd love to watch your journey. We loved getting to know you, Brittany. And we wish you and Boston Braden the best in your future. And thanks so much for coming on the pod. It was great to catch up with you. Yeah. Thanks for having me, guys.

It was good to know you too. Of course. Thank you so much, Brittany. We wish you nothing but the best. And, you know, I'm a big Detroit Tigers guy. But just for you right now, I'll say, you know, go Red Sox. Go Red Sox. Go, Red So I'm, Bernie.

Okay, thank you. Bye, guys. Bye, Brittany. Thank you so much. This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
