If the audio is not perfect today, it's not Tommy's fault. It's that we're doing it in an adobe room and that creates some echoes.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>We have covered the floors with soft things, but it's still very echo-y.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>So bear with us. This is only our second ever in person episode, so it's going to be a really fun one.</p><p>This is a <strong>Just Toast</strong> <strong>episode</strong>. As we explained on our previous Extra Butter episode, we're no longer calling it the Indulgence Gospel, although we always will in my heart.</p><p>We're trying to make it clear what kind of episode you're listening to. So if you are listening to this whole episode right now, you are a Just Toast subscriber, which means you are a regular paid subscriber tier. There's also our premium tier, Extra Butter, for a little more money where you can get behind every single paywall. <strong>Whichever tier you are, we're very happy you're here.</strong></p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>We're going to talk about something we did yesterday.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>Corinne and I did something together for the first time.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>If you're a longtime listener subscriber, you may have noticed that we have no photos together.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>Except one we took in a hot tub two years in Hot Springs.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>Yesterday, while Virginia is here in New Mexico, we got some photos taken by a photographer named <a href="https://www.instagram.com/molly_haley/" target="_blank">Molly Haley</a>.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>Who is an old friend of yours.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>We went to middle school and high school together.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>Since we were doing a photo shoot, we thought, well, <strong>we've got to talk about photos on the podcast because it's a whole thing.</strong></p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>Photos can be hard!</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>I would amend that sentence and say <strong>photos are hard</strong>.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>Although your child would disagree.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>My 8-year-old keeps telling us that that's a silly thing to think and photos are great and they love having their photo taken.</p><p><strong>Corinne</strong></p><p>They're not wrong.</p><p><strong>Virginia</strong></p><p>No, it's a lot of stuff. A lot of diet culture noise. It's a lo
