Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: Howdy.  Claire: You missed your line. Line? [whispers] And this is Joy and Claire. Joy: I still, I can’t say it thought because every time we introduce ourselves, someone once said, “It bugs me that you say, ‘This is Joy and Claire’ because you should be like, ‘This is This is Joy and Claire.’”  Claire: Okay. I hear you, person, I do. However, to that person, do you know that the reason this podcast is called This is Joy and Claire is because for years and years on Girls Gone WOD we would go, “This is Joy” “and this is Claire.” Joy: “And this is Joy and Claire.” We wouldn’t really say, “And this is the Girls Gone WOD podcast” because, duh. Anyway, way too much time. Way too much time introducing us. Claire: And also, I will not get over the fact that it took us like a year to put that together to be like, “That should be the name of our new podcast.” Joy: It took a long time. Claire: Lightning strikes. How are you? Joy: I just took the dogs for a walk. And you know, here in Denver it’s been really warm. Like, 90’s. Actually, closer to 100. Claire: So humid. Joy: Other places are hotter, we get it. It’s hot for us. We get it. If you’re on the East Coast or in a place with a ton of humidity or Florida or wherever you have humidity, I hear you. I get it. I hear you.  Claire: It’s been humid here too. Joy: It’s been humid here too. Anyway, it’s been hot. I took the dogs for a walk because we barely had an 80-degree day today, so we could actually get the dogs outside without burning their paws or feeling bad for heat exhaustion, which I am a stickler about. I was at the farmer’s market Sunday morning, and it was like 90 degrees by 9am, which is when they open. And I saw all these people with their dogs. I was like, no, it’s too hot. Unless you’re just spending five minutes at the farmer’s market to grab some lettuce. Claire: Yeah, but that’s now how people go to the farmer’s market. You browse. You linger.
