Jack Sylvia has sent me on a mission for you.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Oh hello. This could either be very good or very bad.

[jack kearney]

Jack Damn, I should have started with that. Hello, dinner the other night was great, I hope you had a fun time.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Oh no I prefer the bit of intrigue. Immediately interests me. It was, and I did. Thank you for putting up with us as we dragged you around.

[jack kearney]

Jack Lily, do you want the good news or the bad news? Or in a Jigsaw voice: I would like to play a game. It was fun, I'm honored to be trusted in a circle of gossip that some magazine outlets would pay millions for. Sorry I'm boring and don't have as much to add!

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Ooh ok he means business. I'll take the bad news first. And that is why you're trusted, because you won't sell it out for millions. You just absorb and enjoy and then usually get peer pressured at some point for some reason.

[jack kearney]

Jack Right, back to business. Sylvia told me to send you pictures of my friend Aaron. He is: - Confirmed single - Tall, just shy of me - Not a hatfish, hence the picture duality - Normal - Sylvia stressed this? I can have a more thorough report by EOD.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Candidly I have never heard the term hatfish, but I quickly got the jist. Why is this bad news and also, what is the good news then?

[jack kearney]

Jack That was to entice. But, if I had to say, bad news is that you probably hate being fixed up with people. Good news is we know someone great, and there's no pressure at all. Sylvia wanted to surprise blind date you but I said the option would probably be better.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Would have potentially been awkward when I had to tell him that 1) there could be paparazzi and 2) I was about to leave for 8 months. She's also contemplating setting up a Bachelorette-esque situation. A million ideas to get me to move on, I have to hand it to her!

[jack kearney]

Jack Well to those points he's got some famous friends so he knows a bit about "the life," and as a veteran he knows a thing or two about long times away from home. I feel like a salesperson, this is strange. That sounds like a Sylvia idea. Let me guess, hosted by her on the pod?

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y You are a salesperson kind of, are you not? 😛 Let me get this tour kicked off, I'll think about it. Of course! We're already talking profit margins, I enjoy getting a return on my life and love investment.

[jack kearney]

Jack This is true. And all up to you, just throwing him out there! How is the tour going, by the way? All the prep and logistics, I'm so fascinated.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Is he asking to be set up or is that also a surprise? About a week in, so a lot of little things still being tweaked but first shows have been great. Honestly all the album stuff has been better than I expected so far, so it's exciting to continue to celebrate it with everyone. Cathartic, too, in a way. We talked plenty about me at dinner though - how has your summer been?

[jack kearney]

Jack I asked him if he was single, then told him about Sylvia's lovely friend who we both thought would be a good match. He only said no to a blind date situation, said those are always awkward. That is absolutely wild. Syl and I can't wait to come see you, still boggles my mind. You should be so proud! Oh ho hum. Some fun travels, concerts, birthdays, hanging out with my favorite girl. The best summer in recent years, really.
