Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: Hi.  Claire: Hey! Joy: How you doing? Claire: Hey girl, hey. Joy: Hey girl, hey. Now I can’t get that song out of my head something. “Something so strong” from Crowded House. You probably don’t know Crowded House Yeah, we were just talking – Claire: I don’t know if any idea what you’re talking right now.  Joy: Well we just did another podcast episode, which we’ll share when it comes out because I don’t think it’ll be out for another month when we’re releasing this episode, but we were talking a lot about music and bands and I was talking about when I got hit in the face with a drumstick by – Claire: When you got punched in the face by Regina George.
