Hello, everybody.
Welcome back to anything goes.
I'm Emma Chamberlain, your host.
How was that?
Anyway, here's my cat.
My cat, Frankie, is the closest thing we're ever gonna get to a co host or even a guest on this podcast, to be honest.
It's interesting, actually, because she is very anti social.
My cat Frankie, she likes to mind her own business, which I very much respect and admire.
She doesn't really like to hang out with me much, but every time I record the podcast, without fail, she is on my lap hanging out with me.
It's so bizarre because she doesn't hang out with me consistently in any other scenario, this is the only time that she hangs out with me, and it's really our quality time as a mother and a daughter, which is amazing, and I love it.
If I try to record a podcast without her in the room, she'll be scratching at the door until I let her in.
Like, she needs to be on my lap every time I record a podcast.
It's so bizarre.
But anyway, I'm gonna stop talking about it because nobody cares about my cats, and I know that because it's the same thing as parents talking about their kids and showing photos of their kids at social events.
You know those parents that just show photos of their kids in every conversation and just completely hijack every social situation by just pulling out 50 photos of their kid, photos of their kid at the park, photos of their kid at their fourth day of preschool, like, the most irrelevant photos of their child.
If I ever become a mom like that, I give everybody full permission to stop inviting me to everything.
Like, just.
If I ever become a mom like that, cut me off, and I won't blame you.
Listen, if a mom or a parent shows me a photo of their kid, like, one or two photos, great, we can deal with that.
But when it hijacks a whole social situation, that's when it's just harmful.
