This morning on The Daily Whatever,

Dana DuBois

started by celebrating with the whole Chat: Lawrence, Dana, and

Füsun Aydın

got checkmarks,

Nick Paro

and

The Bathrobe Guy 👘

placed on the charts, and more wins across our community.

We love to see it! A rising tide lifts all boats, we like to say. Congrats to everyone, and thanks for your support and reader/viewership. It means the world to us!
