Key Topics and Discussion Points

1. Bedtime Routines, Crafts & Crocheting

• Deanna’s Routine: Currently dog-sitting, Deanna finds comfort in snuggling with the pup and winding down by crocheting in the evenings, intentionally staying away from her phone.
  • [01:28] “I’m really loving crocheting right now and just being like, off my phone.” — Deanna
• Current Project: She’s working on a spring-inspired cropped cardigan, admitting she’s a scarf and beanie pro but branching into “fashion.”
  • [02:15] “So I’m just doing a...a long sleeve, like, cardigan cropped for spring.”
• Crafting Real Talk:
  • KP and Sophia discuss the barriers (math and motivation) to knitting/crocheting, how crafty inspiration hits unpredictably, and the universal experience of abandoned “beginner” projects.
  • [03:36] Deanna jokes, “It is kind of like riding bikes. So one day you might wake up and then just be like, I’m knitting my sweater real quick…and I’ll be done with it. It might just come to you.”

2. The ‘Crushes’ Podcast Segment

• Introduction to Crushes: Deanna describes her daily habit of “crushing” on someone or something—whether a pop culture figure or even a stranger on public transit.
  • [06:30] “I really love to, like, crush on someone every day…Pop culture, great. The person on the bus…we were married in my mind, and I don’t remember what he looks like.” — Deanna

    • [07:09] “It’s a tale as old as time...A girl and her barista.” — Deanna
  • The arrival of spring makes romance feel possible and pervasive, a vibe the hosts label “summer horny” but agree might actually be “spring romance.”
    • [08:47] “I feel like, spring romance, summer horny. Like winter cozy.” — Deanna

Notable Quote:

• [08:23] KP: “When spring comes, there's something separate happening to me...anything’s possible. And it is possible for me to be with this barista.”

3. TikTok Trends & Vacuum Chat

• Cleaning Habits and Consumer Choices:
  • KP shares their adventures in vacuum shopping, including a TikTok Shop impulse-buy and the acceptance that it might be a scam.
    • [09:56] “I know I’m about to get scammed. Don’t worry, I’m actually prepared for it.”

    • [12:09] “Would you believe it? The slow vacuum theory—you’re just going slow.” — KP

4. Handmade Clothing Obsessions & Old-Timey Vibes

• Crafting Deep Dives:

  • KP is fixated on someone on social media making a dress entirely from scratch, growing flax, spinning thread, and weaving with a loom—a meticulous, year-long process.
    • [14:08] “She’s at the loom and she’s frustrated. Watch the space.”
  • The group marvels at the effort and questions the motivation, contemplating the support network needed for such a project.
    • [14:44] “That’s...something obviously horrible happened to her. Like, do you know what I mean? It’s like, you’re down the worst you’ve ever been and you’re like, 'I’m going to grow a dress on a loom.'” — Sophia
  • KP admits the process is inspiring to follow but not to replicate, instead embracing the general urge to make clothing by hand and to avoid fast fashion’s convenience.

• Game of Thrones Crush:

  • KP confesses to a mild crush on Gendry, the blacksmith character from the show, and humorously tries to keep a “neutral face” while watching with their boyfriend.
    • [18:06] “I’m trying to have a really neutral face when I’m watching.” — KP
    • [18:25] “Both of you are just like...we love that.” — Deanna

[A]

Hello. You're about to drift into an episode of the Nightly, a podcast designed to help you unwind and relax. For the full phone free immersive light experience, visit Hatch Co. Enjoy.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

It's a perfect night. And I'm kp.

[B]

And I'm Sophia. Welcome to the Nightly from Hatch. A slumber party for pop culture lovers. And we actually have our own little summer party tonight because we're joined by the wonderful Deanna Ortiz. You know her and you love her. From Hatch's Crime for Bed series as well as a frequent guest on the Nightly. So welcome Deanna.

[C]

Hi.

[A]

Hello.

[C]

As well as a freaking guest on

[B]

the nightly freaking weekend, y'. All.

[A]

It's a freaking slumber party.

[B]

It's a freaking slumber party. Crap.

[A]

Do it.

[C]

Hi, Deanna.

[A]

How are you guys doing? I'm good. Happy to be back?

[B]

I'm good. I'm cozy.

[C]

I'm good. And I'm cozy also.

[B]

It's amazing. We're always curious whenever we have a guest on to hear about what your bedtime looks like, what your nighttime looks like. If you have any. Anything you want to share with us about your routine before bed.

[A]

Man, right now I am babysitting a dog. So the dog definitely is part of the bedtime routine because she. Her clock is on a schedule. She's like, I'm going and you're coming with me. I feel like I have, like, a hyper fixation with a lot of, like, specific things as it comes to, like, my day to day. So, like, right now I'm really getting back into crocheting. So, like, when I'm done for the night, I'll, like, do a little crocheting and then the dog will tell me when it's time for bed. So I don't even need to look at my phone. And then we kind of. We just. Yeah, we lay in bed.

[B]

It's.

[A]

I don't normally have a dog in my house, so it's nice to do, like, snuggles and stuff with her. But I'm really loving crocheting right now and just being like, off my phone.

[B]

What are you working on? Anything in particular?

[A]

Yeah, I'm making. Right. It's like a cropped sweater. I'm really good at scarves because they're just rectangles and I'm really, really good at beanies. But I was like, let me get into, like, a little bit of fashion. So I'm just doing a. A long sleeve, like, cardigan cropped for spring. I'm crocheting with spring in mind. So hopeful. That'll be my new ensemble. Wow.

[B]

That's amazing. Kp, do you knit or crochet?

[C]

I have knit one scarf. I don't think it's, like, necessarily for me. I'm such a crafty. I love crafts. I love arts. I love, you know, doing some tactile creations, but the math part, and there's not a ton, but there's a little bit of counting you have to do.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

And I go, that's not necessarily my favorite part of any craft. So that's not my fav.

[B]

Okay. Okay. I bought knitting stuff and then, like, completely, like, didn't learn how to do it at all.

[A]

So, like, I think that's every. That's just a part of life that everybody just has knitting needles in their house somewhere on the weekend that they were like, I'm gonna do it.

[C]

Keep it on hand. Yes.

[A]

You never know.

[B]

I did a row. Perfect.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And that's about it.

[A]

Yeah. You never know when you're gonna need a knitting needle, so it's good that you have.

[B]

You literally never know. And I have actually, like, a bunch of them now, so it's like, don't even worry about it. I got us.

[A]

But the only one day I do truly believe this where, like, I'll put my stuff away and then come back to it. And it is kind of like riding bikes. So one day you might wake up and then just be like, I'm knitting my sweater real quick, and I'll be done with, like, it might just come. Come to you.

[B]

I think the problem is with it being, like, riding a bike is that if in this analogy, I don't even know how to ride the bike in the first place.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Right.

[B]

I got to get some, like, base knowledge down, and then maybe one day I'll just, like, completely, like, knit, like, basically, like, an entire outfit for myself or something. Awesome.

[A]

A big knit jumpsuit.

[B]

Yeah, exactly.

[A]

Catch me on these streets. I'll be out here.

[B]

Yes. Tip to tail.

[C]

People are doing. I've been seeing, like, felted slippers a little bit or something. Or, like, knitted slippers, because then they get, like. They're humongous. They look like giant shoes. And then you block them and they turn small. And I do think it really cracks me up how they look before they get blocked, because it is just amazing, you know, wilted giants slippers. But they look cute.

[A]

I've never seen that.

[B]

I've seen that. You, like, put them in the dryer. Right. And then they get. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Because they're wool so they just kind of, like, get all where they need to go.

[B]

I love that.

[C]

That's cute. That could be your next thing.

[B]

That could be me.

[C]

That could be you.

[B]

That could be me, y'. All.

[A]

It's tricky because once you learn a craft like this, like, any type of, like, fun craft, all your friends start sending you, like, the. You knit. You can make me this, Deanna. And I'm like, I can't. I won't.

[B]

I literally can't.

[C]

Yeah, I can't. I'm not going to.

[B]

I can't. And even if I could, I wouldn't.

[A]

And I refuse to.

[C]

I'm also very, like, the mood to. Arts and crafts will strike me, and it'll be like, I need to right now, do something. Like, I just painted these window frames you see behind me. I'm like, just out of nowhere, I was like, I have to do it right now or it won't get done. But then it leaves as quick as it came. So it'll then be like, and now I am finished with this, and I can't do this anymore. So that's not great for knitting. Knitting. You kind of have to be like, I'm doing this for the next few months. And that. That. I don't know.

[B]

That I just don't know.

[A]

I don't know where I'm going to be come April and May in my knitting journey. I don't know.

[B]

You're going to be in a crop sweater.

[C]

That is true.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Yes, I know. I can see it for you, and it's happening. And it is a red crop sweater.

[B]

I don't know where you'll be, but I know what you'll be wearing. Thank you.

[A]

I need this.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Dana, you have a podcast, Crushes, in addition to being an expert crocheter and knitter. And on this podcast, Crushes, you discuss who or what in pop culture you are crushing on and who and what you're muting. So we thought it would be very fun today to keep that discussion going. Bring it over to the nightly. So we want to start with you. What are you crushing on and what are you meeting?

[A]

So I. I really love to, like, crush on someone every day. Like, find one thing that's, like, that's very exciting. And if it's pop culture, great. If it's, you know, the. The person that was sitting across from me on the bus the other day, who. We were married in my mind, and I don't remember what he looks like.

[B]

We lived a long life together.

[A]

Yes. We were so happy that's kind of the idea behind that. So right now I'm kind of. I'm crush. I'm in Chicago, so I'm crushing on, like, the weather where it's kind of, like, flirting with the idea of spring right now. Yeah, crushing on that. And also the baristas at my local coffee shop.

[B]

I mean, come on, yo.

[A]

It's a. It's a. It's a chess.

[B]

It's a tale as old as time.

[A]

Yes. A girl in her barista.

[B]

It's like, come on.

[C]

It's weird. There's something in the air where it does turn. Like a medium attractive person, and then they're behind a coffee counter, and I go, wait, there's something really perfect for

[B]

the sexiest person I've ever seen. What the hell?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you have oat milk? This is crazy.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah. No way.

[A]

It's a new coffee shop that's, like, half coffee, half chess inspired. So there's, like, people playing chess everywhere. It's really cool.

[B]

Oh, it's intellectual. Yes.

[C]

Smart and knows how to make a coffee.

[A]

So it's like. It's so, like, whimsical in my mind where I'm, like, walking, and it's like a. I have, like, a light jacket on, and it's spring kind of in Chicago, and, you know, the sun is out, which we haven't seen it for weeks. And then I go into the coffee shop, and there's people playing chess, and I'm. You know, they're just like. I love that energy.

[C]

It really is. I'm like, no, I know the exact feeling you're talking about where it's like. I do feel like it's not even a sense. Like, it's one of the six senses or something where it's like, when spring comes, there's something separate happening to me where I'm like, actually, anything's possible.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

And it is possible for me to be with this barista.

[B]

Yes. And romance is, like, everywhere.

[C]

Yes. It really is.

[B]

I call it summer horny, but it is actually more of a springtime thing that happens and not in, like. I'm sorry to be crass. That's, like, so disgusting. But more so just that, like, you do, once the weather warms up, you're like, there is romance around every corner. And, like, I really can access that.

[A]

And I feel like, spring romance, summer horny. Like winter cozy.

[B]

Yes. Wait, that's tea.

[A]

And what is fall? I don't know.

[C]

Alone.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Falls like business.

[B]

Fall is business.

[A]

I hear a new tattoo Forming in my mind, literally. Spring, romance, summer horny.

[B]

Spring romance, summer horny. Like, that's beautiful.

[A]

I'm muting in that same way. I'm muting, okay, cleaning my apartment, but just for a week. I feel like I really need to, like. Because same thing, like spring, it's like all this new stuff and all these, like, you know, freshness. And I definitely do do need to clean my apartment, but I'm don't want to. So I'm muting it for just a week and then I'll unmute it. Yes. And I'll see what happened. You know, I'm just gonna pause it just for a little bit. I'll come back.

[B]

It's fine. Yeah, I kind of did that last week and then I just did a big deep clean. And you feel good and it's like, it's okay. Whatever.

[C]

I bought a crazy vacuum because I was like, I just want the cleaning to go faster. I just need it to be. I was staying at my friend's house last month and he has like a crazy, crazy vacuum. And I didn't go that nuts.

[B]

What guy did you get?

[C]

The one I was using at my friend's house. Was that like $500 dice?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Which like, yeah, obviously we're all excited about that. But I did and I know I'm about to get scammed. Don't worry, I'm actually prepared for it. I'm good. I got from the TikTok shop an $81, so I'm actually good. And I know I'm getting scammed, so don't worry.

[B]

We'll see. We'll see.

[C]

No one needs to freak out.

[A]

As long as you embrace it and acknowledge it. Yeah, it's happening.

[B]

You own that. Yeah, absolutely, though that is those things where you're like, this might completely break. And like, I'm just gonna have to own that and like, no worries, like, whatever, 100.

[C]

Because something about me is I need to learn a lesson before I do anything. And so I am gonna probably end up buying that multi hundred dollar vacuum someday, of course. But I have to make sure that I didn't stumble upon a great deal first. You know, maybe it's gonna be a great deal.

[B]

It might. It might be. People love stuff they buy on TikTok Shop. I'll say that.

[C]

I know I got one good thing from there and then I've. That's the end of that.

[B]

Last night I literally said to my friends, I'm a hair away from like finally buying something on TikTok Shop. And one of them was like, look at me, don't do it.

[A]

I'm gonna hold your hand so carefully when I tell you this.

[B]

I was like, I needed that. Yeah.

[C]

I got a pair of headphones that honestly did last me, like, four years.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

And I thought they were really good.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So I read the reviews, though. I'm going, but I do know the reviews are probably paid for.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Everything's the biggest grain of salt. And I go, I, I know that in my search for a deal, many, many times I waste money.

[A]

Of course, you're telling yourself, like, I'm, I know this, I know this, but also, I'm doing it. Hey, I'm doing it anyway.

[C]

Yes, yes, I, Yes, I am comfortable with who I am. Nobody needs to worry about my finances but me. And I am worried.

[B]

Do. You don't need to worry because I'm worried.

[C]

I've got this covered for all of us.

[B]

You're scared. Imagine how I feel.

[C]

Yeah. Yes. And then there's also a new theory I've been seeing on social, which is slow vacuum theory. And I was like, it's actually insane what we're doing by calling everything a thing.

[B]

I can't, I can't.

[C]

It's, it cracks me up.

[A]

You are in a wild TikTok algorithm. You're on vacuum talk.

[C]

It really cracks me up. Yeah. I, I, this woman was like, look at the slow vacuum theory and look at the difference. And she posted a side by side. And would you believe it? The slow vacuum theory, you're just going slow.

[B]

And if it's better that way. Yeah, yeah. So that's like, intuitive also. It's like, I know, like, when I'm vacuuming and I'm doing it really fast, I'm like, it's barely working. Of course.

[C]

Would you believe that this theory is sort of like, yeah, just take your time and you'll get more done.

[A]

And no. This Tiktoker is a scientist. Literally did research.

[C]

Yeah. She showed the difference. And I go, she's like, I found

[B]

out that if you vacuum for a longer period of time, it's more effective. Like, totally.

[C]

I'm like, wow, you've convinced me. I'm buying the TikTok shop vacuum.

[B]

I'm sold.

[C]

I, I know. I'm really excited to sort of check back in with you guys. But also, and here's the other thing. Why I getting scammed? I bought this vacuum because. Wow, it did. I, I just, like, had one last month and it really changed things. My place does not even have one single carpet in it. It's an all tiled place. So I don't know why I got this vacuum, guys. I don't know.

[B]

No, no, no, it'll be good. It'll be good. I. I'm a. I'm really a proponent of like, a vacuum is amazing. Even not for carpet. It's so much easier and like very efficient.

[C]

Okay. Okay, great. Because I want to do my couch.

[B]

Yeah, no, I think it's good.

[C]

I.

[B]

Because I love vacuuming on literally like a hard four. It's. Okay, good. Amazing. Great.

[A]

I. I support you vacuuming my couch. I'm like, I feel like the most accomplished woman in the world. Like when I vacuum and when I like dust my, like this, the floorboards, I'm like, wow.

[B]

Oh my God. This is a palace.

[A]

It's.

[B]

Yeah, that's how I feel when I use the, like, wood cleaner for like my wood objects. I'm like, God forbid. Yeah.

[C]

I have a few little crushes on. Well, okay. So this one's actually really. I wrote these before, I promise.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

But this one's really, really pertinent. I'm crushing on making our own clothing because I'm following this person that is making their own dress from scratch. And I mean that. She's growing the flax to make linen. Have. Are you following this person?

[B]

No, but that obviously was.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

It's incredible. She's on week 40, so it's been a year now practically that I've been following. She's so positive.

[B]

Where in the journey is she? Week 40, she has like a single spool of thread.

[C]

Okay. She's spinning.

[B]

Okay. She's at. Honey, she's at the loom.

[C]

She's at the loom and she's frustrated.

[B]

She's at the loom.

[C]

She's really frustrated. Watch the space. But she has an old school. She's doing it like 1800 style with a big spindle thing. Like, you know, she's got the wheel.

[A]

How did she get that? Like, I love the idea, but how

[B]

did she get any of that?

[A]

Even to get to step one of like, now I must grow my own flat. Like, I'm out. I'm out immediately.

[B]

I know. I mean, that's. Something obviously horrible happened to her. Like, do you know what I mean? It's like you're down the worst you've ever been and you're like, I'm going

[A]

to grow a dress with her loom.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

You look at her though, and you go. You have access to a limb.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And she's the most supportive husband. And she's got a supportive daughter that just kind of comes over and helps her all the time. It's really. She's got a real community there and she's in touch with the museums nearby. And she has some awesome little docent women come by sometimes and help her with the loom.

[B]

Cool.

[C]

Because she's like, what's going on here?

[B]

That's amazing.

[C]

So it looks really, really bad right now, of course. Really?

[B]

Really.

[A]

But trust the process.

[C]

Like the spools are like, really? I'm like, I can't imagine that you're going to make anything out of this. But I think the process is coming along. This is part of it.

[B]

I know. It's like, how long is that going to take her? Like five years?

[C]

No, I mean she's at the spools. So she has the thing. So this is. The flax is now flax was grown. That took forever. Then she had to process the flax. I mean, that took ages. So she's. You have to crunch the flax in this like cruncher hand by hand. All this is by hand. And that just took a million years to get the actual hard parts off. To get the softer bits, then you have to roll these softer bits now. I mean, she has the skeins.

[B]

She's spinning the fabric is what she's doing now.

[C]

Yeah, she has the thread. She's spinning the thread.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So then next is going to be taking all that thread. And she's not sure she grew enough to be honest, which is like a huge issue.

[B]

Well, that's what I'm worried about.

[C]

Of course we're all really scared. We're actually really all scared about that. We are hoping it's not going to be just a skirt. But the fans believe in her and like if she needs to import something, we'll figure it out, they'll get it done. We don't know or she'll do it next year. But I think it's going to be a linen dress and she's trying to make it pretty like 1800s style. So it does seem like it's going to be sort of like apron esque, just kind of flat dress.

[B]

It's going to be historically accurate.

[A]

Yeah. I mean you're making it on a loom. You're not going to end up with like a mini skirt and like, you know, a go go dress.

[B]

I know.

[C]

That's what I worry.

[B]

I really worry making my going out outfit loom.

[C]

I know I'm, I'm nervous for her, but I know she'll pull through. There's just. She just never left us in the dry before.

[B]

She's going to do something amazing.

[A]

That is so cool.

[B]

That's spectacular.

[C]

It might be like 15 more weeks. I don't know. I can't tell where we're at.

[A]

Is it inspiring you to grow your own flax?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow. I mean, not at all, but not even a little. Not even one ounce. But I do like the idea of making our own clothes in general. Yeah. I mean, this is how it used to done. I think we all are getting really comfortable with just ordering.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, and we have to remember it wasn't so easy.

[B]

It wasn't. It's not supposed to be this easy.

[C]

No. So that's what I'm crushing on.

[B]

Love that.

[C]

Oh, I have one more crush. I'm so sorry.

[B]

No, please go.

[C]

It's that I'm watching. I'm rewatching Game of Thrones with my boyfriend and it's getting really hard to not say something when Gendry's on the screen because I think he's so sexy. Hot.

[B]

Amazing.

[C]

Yeah. The blacksmith guy. And from Skins, if we're any. If there's any UK Skins watchers in the. In the chat.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Well, I was rewatching. So lovely.

[C]

He's Christopher, but you know, in skins he's 16, so.

[B]

Yeah. So of course. Oh, he really. Yeah, he really aged into his looks even, I'd say.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And I'm trying to have a really neutral face when I'm watching.

[A]

And I'm trying to watch respectfully.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because your boyfriend will be mad at you.

[C]

I just, you know, I just don't think it's like a convo that maybe

[B]

he would think as it's just not entirely appropriate.

[C]

It's not entirely appropriate. In the same way that he's keeping a really neutral face when Melisandre drops her robe every time. He's keeping a really neutral, neutral face.

[A]

Both of you are just like, yeah, this, we love that.

[C]

Yeah. We're just sweating.

[B]

Completely stone faced.

[C]

Just cool plot. I love this plot.

[A]

I love that your crushes are both like, like old timey stuff. Like you have like one person that's making a linen robe and then the other blacksmith from Game of Thrones.

[C]

You have a type I like. I really like, you know, tactile workers. Yes, that's good. Okay. Sophia, do you have any.

[B]

I'll say mine really quick, please. Which is that my crush right now is just. I have my eye on a tattoo. I don't know exactly which one yet, but I got the itch and I really want to get a tattoo. I'm also having the budgeting situation, though, kp, which is that basically I don't. I have tattoos already. None of the. I want, like, a big piece.

[C]

Very fun.

[B]

I'm having a lot of, like, regrets. Not regret. I have the. I got a back tattoo that I basically wish I had gotten all the way down my spine, even though it would have been a billion dollars.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

And right now I'm like, if I get another tattoo, I basically only want to get one that's going to be large. And I'm kind of trying to figure out how much can I spend.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Love it.

[C]

But if you think about investing it over the course of, you know, 50

[B]

years per day, I know cost per wear, that's pennies. It's literally pennies.

[C]

It's fractions. So, you know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're saving money by getting it. I love that.

[B]

Yeah. I'm literally. It's. If I don't get a thousand dollar tattoo, I'm actually leaving money on the table. Yeah.

[C]

So. Because the cost per wear is only going to get worse the more you go. You need to get it kind of tomorrow.

[B]

Yes, exactly. Exactly. I'm wasting time, man.

[A]

I felt that so deeply of, like, the urge. That tattoo itch and you're like, well, I simply have to be in a chair by tomorrow afternoon. Like, it's so real.

[B]

Yeah, I know. Of course.

[C]

My friend just started tattooing and I'm like, this actually rocks. Going to be really, really good. I got one already.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.

[C]

Well, that's really good. Crush.

[B]

That's. But something amazing is gonna happen to me.

[C]

Okay. This was all so Crush worthy. Before we wrap, Deanna, is there anything our listeners should be checking out that you've been working on? Yes.

[A]

I have a solo show that I'm touring all across the country. It's called Funny Slut, Turn that up. And it's basically just chronicling my day job that I had for five years, which was doing social media for adult entertainment performers, and what that was like for me and how it made me a better person. So keep an eye out for that on my Instagram. I'm posting about it all the time, and hopefully I'm coming to a city near you. Bing.

[B]

Wink. Oh, my God. Awesome.

[C]

Amazing.

[B]

On that note, I think we also have a fun little good night from a listener. This was sent in by Noreen, and I think we're gonna hit that track.

[C]

Hi.

[A]

This is Noreen, longtime listener, first time goodnighter. As I'm getting cozy tonight, I want to wish a good night to Rob from Traders. Since today is the last day of Traders, I'm very sad that I will no longer be spending my Thursday evenings with you. I don't know what to do without you. So good night. You've been the most epic trader of all time.

[C]

And. Yeah. Come back for the all Stars.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

T. This was filmed obviously, back when the Traders finale was happening. And I think that's really nice. I think he's getting his flowers and his goodnights.

[B]

Yeah, I. I want to see him on Survivor is all I'll say. I know I want to see him on Survivor.

[C]

He has to.

[B]

Congratulations to Rob. You deserved it.

[C]

Survivor's so annoying about like they are beefing with Traders because Traders does really well and they don't. They can't stand another diva's success. But we'll see.

[B]

Can't two women just lift each other up for once? Why must we pit women against each other?

[C]

I agree. Well, thank you, Noreen. Obviously. And we agree.

[B]

Yes. Good night, Noreen. And good night, Rob. Good night to everyone in the castle. And good night to Deanna. And good night to kp.

[C]

Keep it rolling. Keep it rolling.

[A]

Good night.

[C]

Good night, everyone. Sam.

[A]

Sa.

[C]

Foreign.
