This is the best introduction we can give to Erica and the representative of the ladies who like baseball.
This is us.
Welcome to the chaos, y'all.
To the chaos.
If you are laughing right now, please stick around.
You will get this throughout the whole run of the podcast.
If you are feeling like your ears are bleeding and you think we sound completely idiotic, please save yourself the trouble.
Hit stop, move on, go find another podcast.
We are not going to be your cup of tea.
With all of that being
said, welcome to our podcast, which we felt like was a great idea.
