Podcast Growth and Marketing
00:00:00
Speaker
Our podcast is an infant, just an infant. So baby, it's so tiny. And the Spotify results are in after less than two weeks. Gosh, it's actually just a little more than one week. Our audience size is 29. 41 plays just on Spotify. That's not even getting into Google, Amazon Music, YouTube. SoundCloud. SoundCloud.
00:00:27
Speaker
everywhere else. You can find this anywhere and everywhere. Yeah, we're on iHeart Radio now. So I mean, we're doing amazing. And this is really this is Kiara because her marketing on Twitter was insane. But yeah, I'm so proud of us. I don't like to tell myself I was I was going hard. I was refined. I probably Twitter probably thought I was spam.
00:00:51
Speaker
They might have. With the amount of people are responding to, yeah, I was just spamming our Twitter. And by the way, you can follow us on Twitter at take it to gopod on X. Excuse me. It's not Twitter anymore. It's Twitter. I'm calling it Twitter. It'll never die. Twitter is forever. What is what is X? That's a great question. I have no idea. Where do you come up with
Twitter Changes and Free Speech
00:01:13
Speaker
that? Did you hear that now he is removing the ability to block people on Twitter? That is such a mistake.
00:01:21
Speaker
I know. I don't even understand because Elon Musk blocks a ton of people and Mr. Captain Free Speech is not exactly the bastion or like he does not made Twitter like the bastion of free speech that he likes to pretend. No and I mean I know that there are tons of people that probably have blocked him since he took over and even beforehand so I believe that's why he's doing it. He says that it's unnecessary.
00:01:49
Speaker
I don't know why I just don't want to face people that and honestly, I don't think I've blocked anyone on Twitter. I need to go back into my account and see. But I know people have blocked me. I get why he like why so many people block him because there was a period of time when he first bought Twitter that he basically forced his engineers to change the algorithm so that you saw every single thing he tweeted, which is absurd.
00:02:16
Speaker
That is absolutely crazy. I got tired of it too. So I can see why he would want to increase his engagement by forcing us to all see his tweets. What are they, are they called like zeats now? Zeats? Posts? Why is there not tweets? XEETS? Zeats? I don't know how to pronounce that. Yeah. I guess we have to, is he renaming the whole system now? Because the reason they're called tweets is Twitter. It's not retweets anymore. I know that for, it's repost now.
00:02:46
Speaker
Yeah, it has to be. All that brand equity just gone. Also, not just Spotify numbers are doing well.
Engagement and Listener Feedback
00:02:54
Speaker
If you go to our link in bio, we have over 405 website views. Wow. 400.
00:03:04
Speaker
That's all of you. So thank you guys so much. You've clicked on us. We are, like she said, we're a baby, we're tiny, we're new, we're fresh in this field, but that's insane for a first video. So thank you so much for all your support so far. Thank you for following us.
00:03:24
Speaker
And yeah, I'm gobsmacked. I can't believe it. It's more than I ever thought. I thought we might maybe get 10 people and that was pushing it. You know what we should do? We should read comments of the week because we already have one comment and one reply to us on Spotify and you can listen to us on Spotify and let us know what you think of the podcast on Spotify. We did get one review and based on listeners and their feedback, we can give a comment of the week.
00:03:54
Speaker
I don't think I've seen it. So if you want to read it to me, I'll blind react. That's so amazing. I will read it to you. So we ask all of our listeners under every episode, what do you think about this podcast? And in response to episode one, Naked Pull Ups, or as Lena likes to call them, naked pull ups, James said, some good insights, but you lost me with the incessant giggling. Oh.
00:04:24
Speaker
I guess he missed the fun aspect of it. He missed the
Podcast Identity and Future Directions
00:04:27
Speaker
fun aspect of it. He missed the LOL worthy aspect of it. Definitely. And we're women. We're girls. We're going to giggle. We're going to giggle. But you know what? For James, just for this episode, we are on a no giggling. There's no giggling allowed in this episode.
00:04:45
Speaker
Can I chortle? Because I'm definitely gonna laugh. No chortling, no laughing. We have to be very serious with our very good insights. That's gonna be pretty hard, especially with our question of the week. But we have to do it for James. Why am I bending down to a man named James? I'm sorry, Mr. James. I've let you down already, but you can at least see we tried to stop giggling.
00:05:13
Speaker
Yeah, we're canceling that. That's not gonna happen. We're laughing as much as we want. We're spreading joy. This is a fun podcast. And yeah, sorry that you can't handle laughter. Sorry, not sorry, but let's get into it. So hi, everyone. My name is Lena. I'm Kiara. And you're listening to Take It To Go, a one stop shop podcast about all things life, love and lol worthy.
00:05:38
Speaker
So we've already established the LOL-worthy parts of this podcast last week with our first episode. You should totally go back and listen to it. We talk about life a little bit and our lives as student managers in the first episode. We haven't talked about love at all, but I guess we'll get into this eventually on this podcast. The awkward side-eye. Yeah, bombastic side-eye to talking about love and dating.
00:06:08
Speaker
Let's just axe it. Let's axe that part of the fun. Yeah, we're screw love. We're not gonna talk about that but what we will talk about is
00:06:18
Speaker
who we are because I don't think we really covered that last time. Like you said, we only did our parts about being student managers, but you really don't know much about where we're from, who we are, what we're interested in, what we're currently doing in life. So Kiara, I know that we both graduated from Northwestern University, but really quickly let the audience know what you studied.
Career Journeys and Personal Interests
00:06:41
Speaker
I studied journalism at Northwestern. I had a mid college crisis where I was like, wait,
00:06:48
Speaker
No, do I actually want to do journalism? So I kind of like flirted with radio, television and film for a little bit. But then I was like, nah, I'm way too deep down this path to turn back now. And then I went back to journalism. I started with journalism because back in high school, I was like super, super into, I mean, I'm still very into sports, but I was super into the idea of being a sports reporter. I listened to First Take all the time with Stephen A. Smith.
00:07:14
Speaker
I watched all the sports centers and ESPN shows. I was very into it and I wanted to, I wanted to see myself on the screen one day doing that. So I went to school for journalism and somewhere along the line, I figured out that reporting is not for me, I guess podcasting is. And now I don't work in journalism at all. So, but it was still a great degree. I appreciate what I learned. I just don't work in journalism at all.
00:07:45
Speaker
And you don't work in what you studied either in college. I do actually. But you do? I do. Partly. I was a global health and communications double major and minor in Chinese. And right now I am communications director of a recreational soccer program. So I'm still in communication. I did not know that was your title. Yeah. But that is a very impressive title. Thank you. Thank you.
00:08:14
Speaker
So yeah, I do all the social media, a lot of the marketing, getting sponsors, or at least helping with it. It's not my main role. And replying to parents, helping out with the team formation, doing registration, and disseminating a newsletter. So I'm all in communications there. It's awesome. But of course, my primary goal for my career is being a pilot. Wait, what? Yeah. A pilot.
00:08:43
Speaker
I am currently in aviation school, so flight school, whatever you want to call it. But I'm flying planes, and yesterday actually was my first cross-country trip solo. Wait.
00:08:58
Speaker
Define cross country. Where did you fly from and where did you fly to? Yeah, when everyone thinks of cross country with pilots, they think, wow, you flew from New York to LA? That's insane. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. No, not in a Cessna 172, a small single engine plane. Absolutely not. I flew from my home airport to Lawrenceburg. I always say Lawrenceburg. There are two cities that are alike, but I flew to Lawrenceburg, which is a 30 minute flight there.
00:09:24
Speaker
So it was about an hour round trip. It was awesome. First of all, just had to lay that out there. Um, I did not use GPS. So all I had to do was look at a map and look at the ground and see like, Oh, there's that road. Okay. I'm on course. Oh, there's a lake. I'm on course. Oh, I didn't see this. It's customary for pilots to not use GPS.
00:09:48
Speaker
No, no, because of course now GPS is everywhere. So they use it for normal flying. But when you take your checkride, you're going to have to know how to locate where you are on a map and get from point A to point B without a GPS in case those systems fail.
00:10:05
Speaker
So it's called pilotage. And then you also have another form of dead reckoning where you're actually calculating out all of your distances, fuel consumption, all of that estimated time in route, estimated time of arrival, taking just all of the technical stuff down. But right now I'm just focused on the pilotage aspect, visuals outside of the plane. Where does that name dead reckoning come from? Because the only reason why I know it
00:10:33
Speaker
I've heard of that phrase before, it's because of Mission Impossible, dead reckoning. Honestly, I don't know. And I feel like maybe I should know, but I've not looked into it in terms of its origin. But maybe something for next time. Let us know what that actually means. If you know, please let us know. So is this what you dreamt of doing when you were a little kid?
00:10:58
Speaker
No, I took a test flight when I was 17. It's like your discovery or experience flight. You go to an airport and a pilot takes you up and just lets you kind of feel out the plane. They take you around the area and you either love it or you hate it. There's really no in between and I absolutely loved it.
00:11:15
Speaker
But at the time I didn't have money, I didn't have any pilots that I knew that were training. So I decided I'm just going to go to college because I had just gotten accepted to Northwestern on a full scholarship. So I figured let me get a college degree even though it's not necessary if you want to become a pilot. And afterwards I promised myself that I would go back and try to get my license and that's exactly what I did.
00:11:44
Speaker
So I liked it enough to where I figured I want this as a life career instead of a regular 9-5 office job. Did you ever at any point have a fear of flying?
00:11:59
Speaker
No, never. I always loved flying. Yeah, I
Flying and Aviation Insights
00:12:02
Speaker
loved flying. I would always want the window seat because I always wanted to look down and I would like stick my head into the window as a kid, like forehead, nose pressed up against it because I just wanted to see like what was below me, what was out there. And I think that initial joy is what led me to have an interest in aviation. But of course, when I was much older,
00:12:25
Speaker
Yeah, I think sometimes I'm not afraid of flying. I've flown to Japan and I think that flight was maybe 13 or 14 hours from Chicago and I was totally fine. And then other times I'm on a plane and I'm like, this is not for me. So I don't really know how I feel about it. To me, I like flying if there's no turbulence. If I feel like I'm in a plane and it's bouncing up and down, that's when I'm like, okay, yeah, I'd rather be on a train or in a car right now.
00:12:55
Speaker
Yeah, turbulence isn't that scary to me. And it's I think it's also because when I was younger, I would take car rides with my family, you know, they would drive those places to the store wherever we go. And I loved the vibration of the car, it would actually put me to sleep.
00:13:11
Speaker
So turbulence to me kind of feels like that vibration, so it's more comforting than not. It's comforting? In a way, yeah. It's not like I seek it out, but it doesn't scare me the way it scares other people. It reminds me of this one time I heard a girl who told me that she likes getting period cramps. That's what that is like to me.
00:13:34
Speaker
That's not who said that. Who says they like turbulence? I don't like turbulence. I just don't think it's scary. But at the same time, turbulence can be
00:13:48
Speaker
from it's from thermals sometimes too. So not all the time, but they're like heat pockets that come up off the earth from the sun heats, the dark spots on the earth, obviously the heat rises. And then if it hits your plane, then your plane, you know, will go up and people are afraid of that feeling. But I always think of it as your plane is in the air, the more height, the better, right? Because if you're gonna die in a plane, it's because the plane crashed into an obstacle, which is the earth. So the higher you are,
00:14:19
Speaker
the least scared you should be. And also the plane is a glider. It wants to fly. Helicopters are a different story. They don't want to fly. They don't. They really don't. They want to be on the ground and they never want to leave the ground. But planes love to fly. If you give them a little bit of air, they want to just take off and go and float. And then if you lose all of your power in a plane, it doesn't just smack, fall out the sky like a helicopter would. It actually glides to where it needs to be. So
00:14:45
Speaker
If everything in a plane were to fail, you can always just glide it into the runway. Note to self, never get in the helicopter. I do not know that. I say planes are so much safer to me than motorcycles are because
00:15:05
Speaker
You have so many people driving that probably should not be driving and pilots are all trained. Some of them not good, some of them a lot better than others, but still everybody has to go through this strenuous training in order to get their license and they're tested very heavily on their skills and their knowledge. So I just think that the skies are so much safer because these people actually had to put in a lot of effort and care about what they're doing.
00:15:30
Speaker
You know what I would love to do once? I would love if we could live react to, I mean not really me, really you, live react to a flight scene in a movie or a plane scene and see how accurate it actually is. That would be really cool. That would be cool. I haven't seen a plane scene in a movie ever, like except for maybe 2012 when the world was ending and they hopped in that little plane.
00:15:56
Speaker
And then, of course, Maverick, but that was very accurate because they made it to be that way. Did you see both of them? No, I only saw the newer one. Okay, I saw the first one. It's pretty good. Tom Cruise is pretty hot. That's not why I watched the movie. That's exactly why you watched it. It just needed to be said that he was a very attractive man in Maverick. In Top Gun.
00:16:24
Speaker
yeah yeah oh yeah it was called top gun i totally i said maverick too didn't i top gun and top gun maverick so technically like you weren't wrong i was wrong because the first one was not you were talking about the first one i think he was hot in the second one was he not i mean but obviously the other guy goose he was hot in both of them to be honest top goose just doesn't age he doesn't age he doesn't he really doesn't he just stays short but
00:16:54
Speaker
Short.
Celebrity Crushes and Reflections
00:16:55
Speaker
But you know, he's our short king. His face game is always on point. The face card never declines. Yeah, love Tom Cruise. Plus he seems like a really funny... 60? He's 60, yeah. Wow. Yeah, smash. I'm surprised that you would smash Tom Cruise. Would you not? Based on context clues, I feel like you would.
00:17:24
Speaker
I would gladly oogle Tom Cruise visually.
00:17:31
Speaker
If you had the chance to, if it was just, if he was there and you were there and it's like a really nice like party and he comes up to you and he says, Oh, Kiara, I've like seen you around. I've heard your podcast. I listen to take it to go. I'm a big fan. Huge fan. You're my favorite one to listen to. I take off my headphones when the other girl talks, but when you talk, I put it back on. Like I've compiled clips of your voice to fall asleep to at night.
00:17:58
Speaker
And I just love the way that you view the world and the way you hold yourself. If Tom Cruise came up to me and told me that he listens to the pod, but takes off his headphones because he doesn't want to hear you speak, I would walk away from him. I promise you.
00:18:18
Speaker
That's so sweet. How am I like falling all over and tripping all over a man who's like, yeah, your friend, I could really do without her. She's really annoying, kind of a bore. And I'm just gonna mute her whenever you speak or whenever she speaks. I would never be turned on for that. Well, thank you. It'd be very just actually very sweet. I would be so mad at you.
00:18:48
Speaker
Do you think that's how Tom Cruise picks up women? He really has to lay it on them pretty thick. They probably all go up there. No, I don't think he has to try. I think, honestly, all he'd have to do is walk up to me with a glass of wine and say hi. And the panties drop. He would actually have to speak. He could do a look. So you're at a party with him. He comes up, top gun aviators, and he just pulls him off and looks at you.
00:19:17
Speaker
No words need to be said. Yeah, it's his bed tonight. At 60. At 60. People have done worse. I'm okay with that. I think I could live with that. It's Tom Cruise. Now, just any other 60-year-old, don't come at me.
00:19:40
Speaker
And he's like a good 60. He's a good 60. He doesn't even look the crab bureau is like a rough 45. Young Leo was my crush. He was my my childhood crush for sure. Oh, yeah. The Romeo and Juliet version.
00:19:57
Speaker
Oh my gosh, yes. I love that movie. It's not in middle school. So good. What's not to love about that? I was sitting there in the classroom in history class, like, my friend and I like screaming and holding each other at all the scenes. Please. That Leo? Top-notch Leo. The Titanic Leo was okay, but nothing tops Romeo and Juliet Leo.
00:20:20
Speaker
I never saw Titanic, but yeah, Romeo and Juliet, Leo is 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. My question for you, it's 2023. You know what Leo looks like now. You know his resume on film and his dating life, at least to some extent, you may not know everything. Right. If he came up to you today at a party, all right, so this is before Tom Cruise comes up to you.
00:20:47
Speaker
And he's like, hey, Lena, what's up? Let's go back to my hotel. What would you do? I'm too old for you, sir. You're not 25 yet. Shoot. This isn't two years in the future. Oh, you know what? You're right. Two years in the future, you're right on the edge. He wouldn't even want it. He wouldn't want me to get to know you. He wouldn't want me. Yeah, I'd be too old. 19-year-old Lena, which he would probably be very into.
00:21:18
Speaker
Probably. First of all, definitely. Okay. You know, I apologize. 17 year old was different. She was different. Let's see, it would still be a no. And it's only because I know his roster and I know his preferences. And I just can't do it because I know I'm temporary. He's using me. But I feel like Tom Cruise, he wouldn't initiate unless he's serious.
00:21:49
Speaker
And that's facts. I need to be serious. Well, Tom Cruise, if you see this, if you hear this, you know, Lena means business. No, I'm not going to. This is all hypothetical. This is very hypothetical. You are very clear with your feelings.
00:22:07
Speaker
I do love him though I do respect him as an actor and I think I think more people should be like him and learn from him I mean he's meticulous and he just he plays his roles and they're so fun Tom Cruise yeah a definite legend of the industry so 10 out of 10 you have my approval and I don't like many actors but he's yeah he's one he's one of those actors where like you just know whatever he's in is gonna be good
00:22:33
Speaker
doesn't matter what it is. It's just, it's a Tom Cruise movie and he's just that guy. Yeah, he's that guy, that boy different. He is Hymnathy, as Ryan Helinsky would say. Okay, so we've done the background, what we used to do, what we're doing now ish, what I did, I said what I'm doing now, what are you doing now?
Career Ambitions and Pivots
00:22:56
Speaker
Right now, I work in marketing in kind of sports world a little bit, which I think is a really strong fit for me in my previous role. I was working with social media and it wasn't
00:23:12
Speaker
Uh, like, I guess my, my North star of a career that I wanted to do, but it was a good start for me. And yeah, I think I'm at a position right now where I'm happy with what I do. I love the people that I work with. And I tell them that all the time that I love working with them. I like getting to go to the office to meet people. I love the perks of my job, but sometimes I wonder like, gosh,
00:23:38
Speaker
40 years until 65, until I retire. That's a long time. What do I want those years to look like? And I don't know if it looks like me doing marketing for the next 40 years, I could easily see myself at a certain point saying, hey, I've made enough money. I've learned enough. Let me quit my job and go pursue something super, super creative, like asking.
00:24:07
Speaker
Oh. I don't know. Something creative. I think it'd be really fun. Just like for a year to see what happens to see where it goes. So you kind of want to pivot. I would love to pivot. I don't know how close that pivot is. Like it's to me it feels more medium long term than short term for sure. Okay. I'd say go for it though because why not? You're young.
00:24:36
Speaker
you have the resources, you have talent. And obviously, if you're not afraid to do it, then it's something that you're interested in. So I don't know, a lot of people stop themselves because of fear. And I just think that when you're not fearful of something, it's the best time to go for it because nothing can stop you. I think it's also kind of good to go for something when you are scared.
00:25:04
Speaker
Like when you are really fearful, that's a good time to actually push yourself. But since you're not fearful of it, it doesn't seem like you are, then you're already ahead. Like you already have an edge over it. So why not take advantage of it? That's a good point. You know, I might reach out to our mutual acquaintance or your friend, my acquaintance, and see if he can teach me the ropes of how to act.
00:25:30
Speaker
I'm sure you will. I'm sure you will. So let's trace it back. So I'm in marketing right now, would be interested in pursuing a creative career one day, but don't necessarily know when that would actually be. But who knows podcast could open the door to that. Yeah, I would say. I mean, I think that this is such a creative platform to
00:25:54
Speaker
start off on and then plus like you said we have so many views already with just one episode and now we're actually integrating video so over time i think we'll get more creative we'll have a lot more content to share with everyone maybe get a patreon and um
00:26:11
Speaker
then that way you can kind of spread your wings and dabble in different areas because the podcast might open up some new doors for you. The great thing is that we have enough listeners now that we know people will listen to this episode.
00:26:25
Speaker
but not so many listeners that we can't talk about ridiculous things that are super embarrassing and dumb that we've done. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We can get into it. Let's do it. So you want to talk about the dumbest thing you've done to get your crush's attention? Do I want to? Honestly, the answer is no. I do not want to talk about that.
00:26:48
Speaker
But let's get into it. Why not? So, Lina, last week's episode, could you give me just like a quick overview of what we discussed? Not necessarily in detail, but we spoke a little bit about what we did, where we went to school. Could you give the people a quick recap?
00:27:09
Speaker
So yeah, last week's episode was covering Northwestern's hazing scandal, looking into different reports that were put out from coaches, ex-players, and then seeing, you know, what our opinions are as ex-student managers for the football team, what we thought about the coach, what we thought about the hazing, what we had heard while we were in the program, and just kind of reviewing a lot of that content for you all so you can be updated on
00:27:37
Speaker
not so much just the opinions of players and coaches since they are so involved in the scandal, but also people who were surrounding it, the staff, and then us who were kind of staff and students. So last week we spoke about some of the perks of being a student manager, like you get to stay in hotels for free, you get merch, you get free food, you get to travel, you get paid of course, but if you were a girl,
00:28:07
Speaker
If you are into football players, and I'm not saying I specifically was into football players, but if you are a girl and want to have access to a lot of eligible men, one of the perks of being a student manager, at least at Northwestern, is that you can see, Lina, I don't even want to get into it. You can see, this is so creepy. Don't do this, please. I'm prefacing with this. One, don't do this.
00:28:36
Speaker
this is like the most down bad thing I've ever done. And I'm never doing this again. This was a glitch in the system. By the way, this isn't something that you can do if you become an equipment manager. This was something happened and Kiara accidentally got admin access to an area that she shouldn't have had admin access to. Not even like anybody who okay, so let me explain. So as a student manager at Northwestern or as a student employee in general, you have
00:29:05
Speaker
for some reason, they give you access to everyone's class schedules. So, oh my gosh, James, I apologize for the incessant giggling. So you have access to everyone's schedule every single quarter at Northwestern. Northwestern gives you a little bit of grace period to sign up for classes, switch your schedule, and on, I'll call it
00:29:35
Speaker
a couple of occasions. I know it was more than one.
Humorous Crush Stories
00:29:38
Speaker
I definitely don't want to say it was more than two. I thought it was only once. It might have been a couple times, Lina. I'm so sorry. Oh no. I maybe may or may not have changed my class schedule based on the Northwestern TeamWorks scheduling system. Why are you acting innocent? You obviously did. You did it on purpose. I did it.
00:30:05
Speaker
I did it. I did it and I did it on purpose. And it's not the worst thing I've done. It is one of the dumbest things I've ever done. And what makes it even dumber. Okay. So it's one thing if you are going to be strategic. So I was very strategic. I positioned myself in this course. Several courses. It is what it is. But I transferred it into a course that I was not interested in.
00:30:35
Speaker
only for him to transfer out of that course, like the next course. And by the time I figured out that he wasn't in the class anymore, it was too late for me to leave. And so here I am stuck in this class for an entire quarter. I got to wait three and a half months or three months or whatever. Oh my gosh. Just because I decide to be a dumb hoe.
00:31:01
Speaker
That's what it is. A dumb- and I barely even spoke to him. Like, in- like, within Northwestern Athletics, like, in the facility at all. Barely spoke to him. Was totally petrified. I thought, okay, if I just position myself in his vicinity, that'll be enough. It wasn't enough because he left the glasses.
00:31:27
Speaker
Yeah, this is the one. That's too much Kiara, a class you didn't even like. I thought, oh gosh, a small price to pay for salvation, just something small I could tolerate if it meant. And what was so dumb, like, yeah, I maybe or maybe did not do it over a couple times, a couple times over those four seasons I was at Northwestern.
00:31:52
Speaker
But I did it in the final quarter of me being there. So I was going back to New York anyway. I was leaving Chicago. So at most I had three months with someone before I graduated and would never talk to them ever again. Every guy that was in that year is like, was it me? I know. You should go over your old Caesar or your old class schedule and let me know if you think it was you.
00:32:21
Speaker
If you think it was you, it probably wasn't you. That's true, it probably wasn't. I don't think it was that obvious. No. I think I know what you're talking about. Also, we can refer to him as we colloquially refer to him and it's happening. Macaroni? It's happening now! Macaroni got macaroni!
00:32:47
Speaker
That's the second dumbest. Macaroni is the second dumbest thing that I've done for my Crudges attention. And he's married now. No, hold on. You have to cut that one out. It's too cute. Oh my gosh. No, Macaroni's too obvious. You can't tell the story. I never referred to him as Macaroni. That was you. I never called him that. We called him Michelangelo.
00:33:15
Speaker
And Freet Snacks. He had three names. He had three names. He was very, very influencing, influential to your life. This wasn't him though. When you said happy, my jaw dropped. I forgot about him. That's all about nicknames for guys.
00:33:41
Speaker
No, let's do it now. Okay. On your side, we had Michelangelo fruit snacks and what? That's macaroni. No, we're cutting macaroni. All three were the same person. She knew exactly who I was talking about when I said macaroni. It's macaroni. Lina, we cannot put macaroni in the pod. It's too obvious. That one's not obvious. And plus, they would never know. They won't make the association. It's different. I promise you it's different.
00:34:11
Speaker
I promise you it's not. Okay, fine. Anybody who works for Northwestern EQ is going to know exactly who Macaroni is. You know, who cares, whatever. It is what it is. It happened. He's never, I'm never going to talk to him ever again. Anyway, Freet Snacks Michelangelo. Then you had Happy, and then there was what? Well Squirt was for our friend Connor. Squirt? Yeah, Squirt. And by the way, these are all football players.
00:34:42
Speaker
And then for me, it was the saddest mix of grasshopper and anime. Grasshopper, anime, and then shout out to Baby Angel. But Baby Angel is, he's current. Baby Angel has never left the chat. So shout out to him. And he knows who he is. I told him the nickname. Oh, you did. Oh yeah. 100%. But Baby Angel, love you.
00:35:09
Speaker
I know you're watching. For the people listening, how can they come up with a good codename for a crush with their friends? Codenames have to be based on events, I think, or associations. I came up with fruit snacks for Kiara, for her person, because there was one day in the library, and I know for a fact you won't remember this,
00:35:36
Speaker
I think. Definitely not. But, um, I was sitting in the library and I saw a guy eating some Welch's fruit snacks. So if you know me, you know, I love my Welch's and I was like, yo, where'd you get those fruit snacks? So like he was too far away. So I leaned over, there was like a partition blocking us and I was like, I actually did. Hey, hey. And he looked over and I was like, where'd you get those fruit snacks?
00:36:06
Speaker
Then he goes, like points to it. And I'm like, yeah, he goes, the facility. I had no idea what the facility meant. I wasn't a student manager at this time. I also had no idea who he was because he had just transferred. Oh, well, there are tons of transfers, but I had no idea what.
00:36:29
Speaker
Anyway, I had no idea. I had no idea what fruit snacks were or what the facility was. So I was like, oh, okay, cool. Thanks. And he like nodded thinking that I knew what it was. I was pissed because I couldn't figure out where he got these fruit snacks from. Come to find out.
00:36:47
Speaker
He was a player, a very popular player on our team after I started working. We might as well just say the name at this point. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, let's not. No, let's not. That needs to stay under wraps between the two of us, but very cool guy. It's like lightly under wraps at this point. Yeah, but he was very cool dude. Still mad at him for not offering me a pack of fruit snacks because I found out later that the fruit snacks are all free for them. So come on, dude. Maybe that was his only one.
00:37:19
Speaker
Like they don't grab at least two before they walk out the door. But- That could have been a second pack. Either way.
00:37:26
Speaker
Those were his. I respected the boundaries. I was upset that I couldn't hear where he got them from, and I asked him to repeat it several times, but he was whispering too low, so whatever. It was his problem. But yeah, I just think that you have to base the nicknames off of events or interests of the person that you're speaking on. Another one, Squirt, who was neither not associated with Kiara or myself. It's not what you think.
00:37:56
Speaker
It kind of is what you think. It kind of is. Okay, yeah, it kind of is. But that one was based on a drunk voicemail that was left on another mutual friend's phone, where he referred to him as enough to make him give squirts, squirts, squirts, I believe. Was that the one? Yeah, so the background here is that we had another friend and he also was
00:38:22
Speaker
interested in a football player. And one of our other friends, who is not the player, not the friend we're talking about right now, left a comment on someone's Instagram post. Oh, yeah. Commenting squirt, squirt, like he counted the water chocolates. Yeah, those emojis. But like the three. Yeah, the three. And then that's when our friend called and left a drunk voicemail. Yep, yep, yep.
00:38:53
Speaker
I might be able to find it. I think I have the voicemail saved on my phone. I really do. I need to dig through my archives, my audio files, but if I find it, I'll definitely play it at the end of the pod because it's funny. It's so good. It's hysterical. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So the macaroni
00:39:17
Speaker
or deal. We're not going to talk about that. That was pretty funny, but switching your class for somebody, crazy. It is crazy. But I cannot do this. I would do it. You have to do it at least once. I want you to blame me. Do it at least once.
00:39:38
Speaker
All I'm gonna say, you shouldn't do it, but if you are going to be given resources, access to resources, use them. Yeah. I broke no rules. And if you're the kind of gal where you can take advantage of something like that, that's like totally within line with the rules, go for it. Yeah. You might, you like are being a stalker, by the way, which is a bad thing. But
00:40:08
Speaker
But if you actually fell in love, you know, think of how funny it would be to tell that story at your wedding. It all started when I went into an app and I stalked my husband's class schedule. No. How many, let's say like theoretically it worked out. How many years of a relationship do you think I have to wait before I admit, Hey, by the way, you know, like we didn't just like end up in this class together by chance, right?
00:40:37
Speaker
Never. You can never tell that story. You can never admit it. You can never tell that story. I'm sorry. I mean, anybody else can disagree with me, but I don't think you can ever tell it. I think it would just come off as very, very creepy. He would start to question a lot about your relationship, a lot about the other times he ran into you. I don't think that's something that you take with you to the grave. Yeah.
00:41:03
Speaker
I'd say you're probably right. But again, I'm not this person anymore. I would never do this for a crush's attention ever again. I'm so over it at this point. Sounds fake, but okay.
00:41:16
Speaker
I really wouldn't. I mean, thankfully, I don't have the ability to do that again. That's true. That's true. No more class schedules for you. No more class schedules. No, no grad school. No more student managing. That's it. I had my opportunity. I did it. It was dumb. I'm never going to do it again. Wow. Your story is a lot more interesting than mine. No, I want to hear your story.
00:41:41
Speaker
Because I haven't had many crushes in my life, so it lowers the chances of me trying to do things to get people's attention. But when I was in kindergarten, I had a huge crush on this guy.
Absurd Impressing Stories from Reddit
00:41:56
Speaker
He was a year older than me and my brother's friend, one of his best friends, but this kid was so sensitive.
00:42:04
Speaker
I didn't realize how sensitive he was. He cried for everything. So one day I overheard him on the bus talking to a kid and he had said that he really liked pudding and they were serving pudding at lunch that day. So come lunchtime, we're all in the area together. It was kindergartners and first graders and I took my pudding
00:42:27
Speaker
And I went over to his table with all of his friends sitting around and I gave it to him. And I just kind of stood there and was like, hi, like, how's it going? But all of his friends, as young boys do, they started to pick on him because they kind of noticed how I was approaching them and started to like tease him and be like, oh, like,
00:42:47
Speaker
hi like kind of mocking me in a way but to give it to give it give my feelings away and he started to turn red and I read like the color of my shirt rut
00:43:01
Speaker
And then all of a sudden he just started bawling. So, because he was so embarrassed. So I left the pudding with him, like turned around and just went and sat back down with my friends. And they were like, how'd it go? How'd it go? It was the worst experience of my life. So I'm never giving food to anyone ever again. Ever again?
00:43:27
Speaker
No, no, I've never I've never done that. I don't go out of my way for men anymore. Okay, but that's like not even that bad what you did. You made him like a little embarrassed. He was a little shy. But what happened like, you know, let me see out anymore. No, never. Oh my god. He was he wouldn't even look at me. He I got on the bus later that day. He like completely ignored me like it was over from there. Were you at least friends? No.
00:43:57
Speaker
That was it. I shared my pudding with the boy, made him cry, and then got mocked by his friends. And it changed me. And you know what? Now, you know better than to go up to a guy and pour your heart out to him by giving him food.
00:44:19
Speaker
Yeah, it's the way to his heart is not through food. It's not through his stomach. I'll tell you that. No, not in kindergarten. Not in first grade. You should have invited him to like play op scotch or something. Something gosh, it
00:44:33
Speaker
Shouldn't have been around his friends, though. I was tripping. I was different. But you know what? That speaks to just how confident you are and how confident you've always been that at that age, you would go up to a guy and be like, hey, I've got a crush on you. Here's some pudding. I don't like it. That's what you did. Here's pudding. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, thank you, because I did need that reinforcement.
00:45:02
Speaker
But yeah, it was so embarrassing for me as well because it was in the middle of so many kids. And then I think a teacher even came over and like tried to console him while I was there. And so I just had to like...
00:45:17
Speaker
It was just a hot mess. It was so bad he had to be consoled. He was so embarrassed. He was so embarrassed. So I, yeah, I kind of, I regret it. I feel like I felt like a terrible person, but then later I had to reflect on the situation. This is years later. And I was like, no, I just gave him pudding. Like he should have been okay. He should have been thankful. Yeah, it's his fault, his problem. So whatever.
00:45:44
Speaker
Have you seen Pudding because you see this is what we were talking about how nicknames come up now We have a fantastic nickname for this kid, and it's Pudding. Have you seen Pudding in the last five years? No, I only remember his first name, and I have never sought him out I don't know what he looks like at all. He's probably preemptively blocked you on everything.
00:46:10
Speaker
But this was first grade in kindergarten. I don't think there was room to block her. I think he's carried that with him. I highly doubt it. And now that Elon Musk is getting rid of blocking, now you're going to be able to see him again.
00:46:26
Speaker
Yeah, but I moved. Like kindergarten was the only year I was in that school. So I was never a factor in his life thereafter. I had no contact with him at all. My brother didn't stay in contact with him. So it was a fleeting moment. I'll leave it at that. Oh, well, just thinking about what could have been. Yeah, that was also the same year I got whiplash by this kid who liked me, who hit me head on in bumper cars at that guy's birthday party.
00:46:56
Speaker
So yeah, crazy year. Kindergarten was a crazy year. That must have been the dumbest thing that he had did to get a crush's attention. Yeah, it gave me scoliosis, so. Oh boy. Still got it. You know, I went on Reddit because I knew we were talking about this to see what dumb things other people had done for their crush.
00:47:20
Speaker
So I went on, like, ask Reddit all these different subs. Someone in the question was like, what was the dumbest thing you've done to impress your crush, to get your crush's attention? What's the dumbest thing you've done with your crush in general? Someone said, I declined an invite to our senior prom from the girl I liked. I was so caught off guard that I panicked. No.
00:47:48
Speaker
That's what happened to Pudding. Maybe he had a crush on you and he got so overwhelmed by the friends that were making fun of him that he ended that relationship before he even started. Yeah, flat out rejected. Maybe. Do you have anything that you've seen? On Reddit? Yeah, on Reddit.
00:48:10
Speaker
On Reddit, I have so many, buckle your seatbelts. So this one said, what's the dumbest thing you've ever done to get your crush's attention? I took up smoking because she did, only stopped 12 years later after a heart attack. Don't, yeah, that. That's rough. I think, gosh, do you have anything better than that one? Because I think that one kind of wins. Oh, I have so many.
00:48:38
Speaker
That are worse than accidentally picking up a smoking habit and getting a heart attack? Yeah. Oh gosh. I'll read them off. So in fifth grade it was a rainy day and I decided to impress her by running up a steep slippery metal slide up to her. I slipped halfway through and slammed my face into the slide. I picked my head up and proceeded to spit out my shattered two front teeth all over the slide. That girl moved during the week I was recovering and I never saw her again.
00:49:09
Speaker
It's like you had put in just one dramatic experience and then just never again. Never again. Yeah. And he shattered his front teeth. I believe it's that he had to go through a bunch of corrective surgeries and never recovered. Still has nightmares about hitting his face on a slide. So lasting damage all to impress a girl. Yikes. That's awful. I have something that's a little lighter than that. Ties into football.
00:49:37
Speaker
This guy wrote, let me tell y'all about the time my crush wrote my football jersey number on her cheek for my first freshman football game just for her to watch me get trucked and de-cleated as our team lost 56 to nothing.
00:49:59
Speaker
oh that's embarrassing that's very embarrassing could you imagine like you're thinking you're the man you're like come on girl come on baby let me write my number on your cheek you're like you're in your jersey and everything and people are like oh my gosh like she's talking to a guy on the team
00:50:16
Speaker
you write your number and then you get absolutely crushed and destroyed. You know, she wiped it off. She was there like, uh-huh. It was a game like it gets, you know, seven and nothing, 14 and nothing. She slowly starts ripening it off. She probably didn't even stay for halftime. Oh, I doubt it. I would have left. I would have left. I hope she left.
00:50:38
Speaker
Let's see. I also really like this one. Became editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and made her my managing editor. Within four weeks, she staged a coup to replace me. God, that was hot. You got your grudge to beat your boss, basically. Yes, she replaced me. Or a manager. That was so funny. No, that is so funny. I mean, that's kind of iconic, though, on her behalf.
00:51:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's definitely a boss move. She definitely did not like him though, because there's no way she would stage a coup on him if she did. Yeah, probably not. But you know, I don't know when you're young, I guess it could be like middle school, like high school, sometimes people treat their crushes badly. Like they pick on them. True. True. True. True. I picked on a lot of my crushes when I was younger. I was mean.
00:51:36
Speaker
I've always just been like very crush averse. So if there's someone I like, like, you know, I like someone based on how little I talk to them. Like I can't even like look at them. I in elementary school, I used to race a guy back home because we walked home. Um, so we would start off like there was a starting line right after we got out of the doors. It was like the markings of like the beginning of a yard.
00:52:01
Speaker
So we started there, met there every day, and then we would dash to these polls that were in the next neighborhood over from the school. And whoever crossed those polls first would win their ace that day. So I was running my heart out. I trained for this stuff after school just because I wanted to impress him. But one day he got ahead of me.
00:52:22
Speaker
And so I was afraid of losing and I reached out, I pulled his backpack strap and just yanked him on the ground. He flipped down and I ran past the poles and then came back to check and see if he was okay. Was he okay? Yeah. Did you race after that? Oh yeah, like we continue to race after, but I was rough. I was rough.
00:52:52
Speaker
What can I say? I love hard. I'm a Scorpio. You're very, that's, oh gosh, that's so forward. So forward. The putting, the, you know, assaulting, assaulting this child to make sure that you can beat them in a race. Yeah. And he didn't like me back, but that's okay. Oh, those days are good friends. We were really good friends. You know what, I feel like
00:53:21
Speaker
In retrospect, I know you don't know what pudding really looks like anymore, but now I can kind of keep track of some of my old crushes on Instagram. I don't really have a Facebook. I don't really have a Facebook. I don't have a Facebook at all on LinkedIn. And I'm pretty good with that not working out and none of them being into me because they have not aged as I expected them to age when I was nine years old.
Dating Preferences and AI Advice
00:53:51
Speaker
But what is, what would be your type? Or what is your type now? My type is very difficult to articulate. Let me try to articulate. My type is primarily based on values
00:54:12
Speaker
i am a christian and so it's really important for me to be with a christian guy not just one who like says it but is actually a man of god i like guys who are more traditionally masculine i like guys who are physically very fit and in shape even though i myself am not very physically fit and in shape and
00:54:39
Speaker
What else? I don't have like a job that I need a guy to work or like a dollar amount that he needs to make or a height. He has to be taller than me, which isn't saying much because I'm 5'1". You're short. That's easy. That's probably the most attainable stat. Yeah, just a guy over 5'1", you know, not really asking for that much. Although we like we said earlier, we do love our short kinks, but
00:55:07
Speaker
for the sake of my future children. They've got to have at least a shot of becoming a competitive athlete. And it's not going to work if mommy's 5'1 and she marries a guy who's 4'9". Yeah, that's really tiny. Sorry, but that is. So yeah, I think that's doable. I don't think that's too much. No, I don't think so. Not at all. But you know what? Sometimes I think, okay, that's sort of like what my
00:55:35
Speaker
baseline expectations are, it's okay to dream a little bit. And so one time I asked ChatGBT, I was like, could you give me a play by play for how I can go about finding a guy who makes a lot of money? And ChatGBT was so opposed
00:55:54
Speaker
to me actually doing that. They kept saying, like it kept saying repeatedly, like it's unethical to want to be with someone just for their money. And I was like, okay, listen, you're an AI. I'm not relying on you to make moral judgments. I just need you to give me the details and the facts of what I need to know. And it took like 10 messages back and forth of me berating this AI to say, finally,
00:56:18
Speaker
to get what I need to know. And it gave me like a list of all the things that I need to do in order to find a high income guy. So what were they? I have it. I found it. The hustle is real. I asked, chat GPT, how can I find a man that makes a lot of money to date as a partner?
00:56:40
Speaker
chat GPT said as an AI language model I do not condone or pursue the objectification of individuals or pursuits of relationships solely based on financial status I never said it was solely based on financial status relationships should be based on mutual respect trust shared values blah blah blah blah blah but here's what they told me they gave me five steps first attend events in industries that tend to have higher salaries such as finance law or tax
00:57:08
Speaker
look for events or organizations that align with your interests and hobbies within those industries. That is solid advice. Number two, volunteer for charitable organizations that attract successful and wealthy individuals. Volunteering is not only a great way to meet new people, but also demonstrates your values and your character. Number three, join professional networks or social clubs that cater to successful and wealthy people, such as exclusive social clubs or professional organizations and associations
00:57:38
Speaker
Fourth, online dating or apps that cater to successful and wealthy individuals. To me, like this one is like the least convincing because you're just going to basically end up being a sugar baby, which to me is not necessarily like actually like a relationship. And then five, pursue personal development and education to enhance your own financial stability and success to attract like-minded individuals who value personal growth and financial stability. Wow.
00:58:08
Speaker
I think that's the key though is finding like-minded individuals because if you want somebody successful and rich, you have to be in that mindset of being successful and rich and on the path to doing that yourself and wanting to be surrounded by it. Because if you're just like desperate, desperation smells so strong in a room,
00:58:28
Speaker
and it's a repellent for people like that. You have to be so confident in who you are and what you have to offer, even if you have nothing. It's like faking it until you make it, faking it until you make it acted out, just like make sure that people feel like you're confident, feel like you have it all going on and then they'll give you their time and attention and money. I feel like people are, people are, I know like TikTok is obsessed with this whole like old money thing.
00:58:58
Speaker
I feel like they're so-called old money people are pretty adept at identifying people who are just with them for money. It's like that's your goal. Unless you otherwise have some like outstanding or exceptional characteristics about you, like let's say you're a very highly established model or
00:59:19
Speaker
whatever field you're in. It's just gonna be very transparent if you just want to be with someone for money. So I personally, like I said, like, to me, values matters more than anything else. I just thought it was funny that chat GBT was very upset with me. It cared so much. Like they stood so strongly on their principles. I was like, gosh, a girl is just curious. I'm not saying I'm going to do this. I just want to know. Right. Like who programmed you? We didn't program you to have feelings and morals.
00:59:48
Speaker
No, not at all. Yeah, exactly. Like that's why like AI making moral judgments on me asking, which is like, what is a pretty mundane question is like terrifying that it is in a position today where it can be like, as an AI language model, I don't think this is acceptable or whatever. Like just give me the answers of what I'm looking for. Yeah. It was judging me, but chat GPT is a ton of fun.
01:00:19
Speaker
That's what I will say. I do love it. I haven't been on in a long time. It might be like low key entering its flop era because there was a period of time when everybody was talking about chat GBT. And now I feel like people aren't as much. I just think that it's evolved so much into other forms where people are using it for other things.
AI Curiosities and Future Exploration
01:00:38
Speaker
So like just talking to AI is not conducive to what a lot of people are interested in now. Did you see what happened with the Snapchat AI?
01:00:48
Speaker
Yes, the Snapchat AI posting its own story. That was wild. Insane. Insane. Did you ever see if anything came of that, did Snapchat apologize or did they accidentally admit to having a sentient AI? No, I didn't hear anything. It's almost like they buried it. It just went silent after the news initially spread and people were freaking out about it online.
01:01:13
Speaker
It's like, I responded to it. Really? Yeah, I responded. I was like, yo, like, are you good? Did it say anything back? No, it was just like, sorry, like, I don't know how to respond to that. I don't have enough information or whatever. Oh, wow. Wow.
01:01:32
Speaker
No, anytime I've talked to Snapchat AI, it's been kind of racist. So I stopped. I was on a path of looking up names for a nonprofit that I was thinking about starting. So I asked it for ideas just to see if it could jog any inspiration for me. And I asked it about giving me a name for a nonprofit that was geared toward black females in aviation. And the only response it gave me was the title, Fly Brown Girl.
01:02:02
Speaker
I'll show a screenshot. But yeah, I thought that was it. First of all, it was hilarious, but also not at all what I could call a company that's professional and actually serious about helping black women fly. So yeah, it's also kind of like, it's kind of lazy. Like, I want to create a furniture business that caters towards black women. And it comes up with something like
01:02:32
Speaker
Sofa Brown Queen. That's basically what it did. That's what it did. Yeah, that's honestly it. It uses like triggered
01:02:46
Speaker
words or popular words associated with whatever topic you say. And so it's just not creative enough for me at this stage. But I do think that AI in other realms is getting so good and so realistic. It's almost terrifying. Like I definitely go on, I go on TikTok a lot. And I always look up
01:03:06
Speaker
houses and like vacation homes and just things to, you know, see what I would like to do for my own home one day. And the AI houses have gotten insane. I was completely fooled by them. So I would go on and it would say, oh, $10 million home in France. And then all of a sudden you're scrolling through these beautiful pictures with the beautiful background music. You're like, wait, those aren't real.
01:03:30
Speaker
No, I would go into the comments of those and see them. And people would be like, is this AI? And somebody's like, yeah, it's AI. You can tell. And you look at the faucets, because the faucets and the placement of certain objects are just completely incorrect. And sometimes even the more obvious ones, like windows don't look correct in the house. They'll show you a picture of the outside of the building. But then inside, it'll have 10 windows in a kitchen.
01:03:58
Speaker
really, you're not going to have that in a kitchen with this style of home. So sure. Yeah, but the faucets will be backwards, or they'll have like two sinks placed in a bathroom where you or let's say two sinks in a kitchen where it's like you don't need two sinks. One of the handles would be missing on the on the faucet. And then random jars placed on shelves just like
01:04:22
Speaker
One time I think there were jars placed above the vent, like the ventilator over the oven. And so I was like, okay, obviously this is fake, it's AI. But now whenever I see these dream home posts, I am always looking at the sinks. That's just like with like AI people, usually AI is like pretty bad with pupils.
01:04:44
Speaker
They're usually kind of jacked up. That's sort of the best way to figure out if you've seen an AI person or a real person, but it's improving, obviously. I also heard the teeth, and I've seen the teeth too. The teeth are skewed. I think you had photos where you posted from the LinkedIn profile picture update, and the teeth were like, you had a middle tooth. And people have also said that hands aren't well, aren't
01:05:08
Speaker
in AI. So anytime you see pictures of people that have done AI, they just don't show their hands because it looks funny. It usually does. Yeah. I find that kind of weird though, because haven't you heard that in dreams, you can't see your hands or you can't see other people's hands because it looks funny? Or like completely off? I've never even thought about that before. Yeah. And so I just think the association between dream
01:05:36
Speaker
realms in the AI realm is really interesting. So I'd like to see like where that goes, because obviously, I don't know, I feel like it is a drummed up concept, obviously, that's come to life. Yeah, we're using it to warp reality and show something that doesn't exist or is not true for their everyday life. So it's almost like a dream. You know, I was not expecting this podcast to take an AI turn, but it was
01:06:06
Speaker
a delightful conversation. Yeah, definitely. I think it kind of I think it warrants its own episode. I think we could get way deeper into this. I think so too. There's so much that's come up lately with AI. So yeah, I think we should talk about it next time. Let's do that. We should talk about it. I think it warrants its own pod. And hey, like we could even let AI pick our next podcast conversation topics.
01:06:30
Speaker
That would be fun. Chat GPT, here I come. And who knows? Chat GPT, or we could do the racist Snapchat AI and see what happens. Yeah, I'm sure they'd have something interesting for us. Two black girls on a pie. And yeah, you know what the prompt already is going to be. Hey, Snapchat AI, I have a podcast. I am a black woman, and I have a podcast with a black woman. What should we talk about? Yeah. And it's going to say something like, you should talk about newbie and queen radio or something like that.
01:07:00
Speaker
That's what it's gonna say. What about R&B? Yeah, exactly. What about hip-hop? Have you considered talking about Southern cuisine? Yeah. Or soul food? Chicken and watermelon? Have you considered that? That's the Snapchat AI for you. Yeah. I don't think we should go with them, but it'd be fun. At least for all the criticisms I give chat GPT, at least they're principled.
01:07:29
Speaker
and moral for an AI. And creative. They give you a lot of options. So I'm looking forward to see how that develops over time. But like you said, we'll hit this next time. We'll catch it next episode. Yeah. If you made it this far, oh, am I getting you up? Sorry. No, no, no, it's okay. I was about to say, I think we've hit the end. I think we've hit the end of this podcast. If you've made it this far, thank you so much. It is midnight Eastern time. I am very tired.
01:07:58
