Welcome back to season two of The Main Mic. My
name's Harper. And I'm Mackenzie. I sound like
a B -I -T -C -H. Are you not? What? Are you not?
It's me, Zach. I'm here. Yeah, and we have Zach
here. He is still our producer for The Main Mic
podcast. On top of that, he has his own little
table in here now. I do. Instead of all three
of us. Being able to sit behind a computer. He's
the only one that can sit behind a computer.
Our supervisor, Mike Humphrey, did a lot of work
over the summer. So our pod lab has gotten some
upgrades for reasons. We are switching to video
at some point. Not just video. We'll still be
uploading just the audio as well. But we'll be
posting video versions of our episodes too. on
the same time that they usually come out. So
that way you'll get to see us. You'll see our
pod lab when it's done getting decorated. I'd
like to point out... I need to turn my phone
on. Oh, wow, Harper. On the pod. You haven't
muted your phone. Hey, she's doing it too. Mine's
already off. I was just checking to see. Is mine
off? Zerk, don't be a hypocrite. It's off. I
always have mine off almost. Unless I'm at work.
I turn mine off when I get to school. It's hot
in here. It is a bit hot in here. We might need
to get a fan. I can feel some air on my toes.
What? I feel air on my toes. Blowing on my toes.
I'm probably sitting right next to the vent.
Oh, you know what? Is there a vent back there?
I think so. We have a couch, which you'll see
when we have video. Could you see it? Oh. How
are you hot, then? I don't know. I don't have
anything. I'm in the corner. You make it sound
like you're in timeout. I am in timeout. There's
also a vent under Kenzie. Oh, bruh. Okay, suffer
and stay quiet about it, please. I hate it. I
want to switch corners. Switch this entire podcast
room around. I am honestly not opposed to putting
the couch against the window. Yeah, but here's
the thing. Mike is ordering a LED sign that we're
going to put on the wall. We're going to put
it on the wall. There's not really much that
we can move around. I think it's just going to
have to stay there. I might just get a mini fan.
We'll find one at Goodwill when we go eventually.
Hey, can you let me know if you can hear me writing?
No. It's not picking up. Perfect! It might have
picked up you slapping the paper, but... That's
okay. I'm not going to be doing that frequently,
hopefully. Oh, I never got my water. You've been
complaining about your water for like five minutes.
Anyways, should we restart? I don't know. Mackenzie,
is this your last semester here? Yes, it is.
Zach, is this your last semester? You have one
more? No, I have this one and one more. Okay.
How many do you have? This is my last one. Oh.
I know. You're going to be by yourself. I do
not know what this is going to turn into when
you guys are gone. I got you. I'll recruit some
people. You should see if, are you moving? Yeah.
To Texas? Yeah. Hey, it's our first swears on
the pod. Of course it came from Harper. If we
keep that in. I'm gonna. How could you do that?
Okay, so I don't know when I'm moving, but the
plan is for December, but I don't think I'm going
to make that. So it'll probably be sometime in
2026, but I'll still be leaving because I have
to. You won't be here. You won't be taking classes.
No, I'm done. I already applied for graduation.
Oh, I have not applied for graduation. I should
totally do that. I actually did it last semester.
You found a speaker? Right here. I don't know
if you can see it. I see it. It's against the
window. It's behind the curtain. Oh, my gosh.
There's two of them. We'll figure that out later.
Anyways, I don't know. You should see if – I'll
see if Mr. Humphrey needs a, what, TA or something.
That's a good idea. Can you be a TA if you're
not a student here? I don't know. I don't know
how that works here. You are an alumni, though,
so maybe it's different. I could technically
stay on the podcast, but as a guest. Right, you
could invite us back. As a semi -permanent guest.
As an every single Wednesday guest. Even after.
I'll come back. I visit from Texas all the time.
I mean, if Mike allows it, that would help me,
but people might apply. We've got new students
this year. That's true. Next semester, I can
go from host to co -host. I'm kidding. And Mackenzie
will just be gone. We're booting her off. Well,
that's how you do my... I'm kidding. She's moving.
It's not like we're firing her. I mean, if I
don't move in December, then I'm probably not
going to move until like... Next December. I
mean, but like... I will recruit some people
because I've actually been talking to people
about joining the Messenger. I'm like, I'm on
the podcast. You can come be on the podcast.
You should do that. Do you guys see on the JCCC
website, whenever you log in, it has the Messenger
at the top? I do see that. It does? Yeah. Oh,
yes. It's next to where you get classes and you
look at your schedule. It's there. I forgot about
that. Yeah, I know. I clicked that because I
was looking for the... we have a lot of people
on staff that we need to hire yeah um so i was
looking for the social media director thing um
and uh it was yeah it was there it popped up
uh but i there's no way for me to find the like
the jobs that the link to the job yeah a lot
of the teachers have been posting it in their
announcements the journalism teachers specifically
i know when i When it was the first day of class
for me, which was Tuesday, two weeks ago, the
student center had, like, new messenger. Like,
you know how we got our, like, book thing, like,
at the end of last semester? Mm -hmm. They had,
like, a new one, like, at the front, at the student
center. Like, where it talks about the messenger
and all of our stuff. Yeah. I don't know what
they're called. Yeah, newsletter, right? Newsletter
magazine. Physical magazine. Something like that.
Anyways. I feel like we should be doing better
marketing. You know the guy with the freaking
animal cruelty table? We should have our own
table out there in the courtyard. Oh my gosh,
that's what I was wanting to talk to you guys
about. I was saying we should... No, I think
I did talk to you guys about... I think we might
take out... like take a microphone out in public
and interview people. That's a good idea. Yeah.
That sounds fun. I know. I think Mike's talked
about that. Okay. So when I came in this morning,
or this morning like an hour ago, Mackenzie was
here earlier. She was putting up like. Fake plant
vines. You know like the 2020 vine wall things?
Aesthetic looking. She brought a few and she
started hanging them up on the ceiling and they
are progressively falling down. This one is not
even attached. It's just hanging on the freaking
walls. So you'll see them when we switch to video
but they'll be better. It's not going to be these
ones. I'm not going to throw these away. No.
I'm going to buy new ones. Don't throw them away.
I don't like them. We'll figure out a use for
them. Hey, what if we put them in front of the
door and hang them down through the door so whenever
you open the door, you have to walk through plants?
Like the freaking walls? Yeah. Totally down.
Except those would probably fall down way faster.
They will fall down. Unless we really tape them.
If these vines are falling down just from this,
what is our sign going to do? Well, the sign's
going to get nailed into the wall. Let's just
tape them to the sign then. we could we can like
wrap them around that'd be cool that would be
cool we'll wait and see yeah i mean i don't know
how big it's gonna be i'll leave them in here
did you guys see it the sign yeah no you saw
it well mike showed me oh i'm jealous okay you
guys talk i'll pull it up you guys talk i'll
pull it up okay well we were talking over you
when you said that so we didn't hear it Duh.
Wait, okay, but how do you guys feel about, like,
having a table in the courtyard idea? Zach just
farted. What? What did you just copy? What? I
said Zach just farted. You just did it again.
Oh, no. Kid humor. Whatever. What were you saying?
The table in the courtyard, like, would y 'all
be up for that? That'd be interesting, yeah.
Especially, like, for people to know what the
messenger is. Do we have, like, physical copies
of the messenger? No, I mean, we have the magazine
from last year, but that is how, uh, last...
Oh, okay. That's neat. That's that plant that
they have right next to theirs. That's the little
plant in the corner. God, it's so hard to describe
things without having visual, but this pod room
would look awesome. Leave it as a mystery. Yeah.
Leave it as a mystery. They're not going to know
until they see it. Okay. You'll just have to
tune in. We saw. Anyways, welcome back to the
main mic. Yeah, we're 10 minutes in. Yeah. I
mean, I'm saying welcome back. This is how we've
been acting since day one. I mean. You know what
you signed up for. Yeah. Listen to this podcast.
If you still listen to this podcast. If you're
a new listener, hey, what's up? Hello. We are
switching to shorter format. That is happening.
We are doing 30, 45 -minute episodes. Yeah, they
will be shorter, so you guys will be able to
digest them easier. Not get bored. Not get bored
of us yapping about exes or playing really bad
games. Two troops that are alive. We'll still
probably play some games. We're going to change
the format to, like, a more permanent, like,
structured format. So we'll have different, like,
segments. But as this first episode, we're kind
of just getting back into the groove. I definitely
think we're probably not going to talk about
our exes as often. Yeah, I already told Zach.
I'm not doing that. There's no updates. I have
edited out so much. There's no updates, like,
at all? I'll tell you later. There's no updates.
There's an update. Okay, so, like. Cool. Well,
we'll date you after this, too. Anyways, yeah,
let's keep our personal lives personal, shall
we? Yes. We aren't mixing business with pleasure.
No, no, no. This is pure news now. Oh, 100%.
You guys are going to be bored. Yeah, we're going
to talk about the news and the news only. Guys,
how was your first week of school back to school?
The parking sucked. Oh my god! The freshmen in
the MTC parking lots who don't understand that
it's a one -way? Dude, it pisses me off. I haven't
experienced that yet. There's only 18 different
arrows pointing in the direction you need to
drive. So it's clearly not their fault. Just
run into them. I was so close, dude. I almost
got backed in on the first day. I honked at him,
and he looked at me. He's like, what? I'm like,
dude, you literally almost just reversed into
my car. I'm not excited about the freshman. I
am not excited about... Honestly, okay, hot take.
It's weird seeing, and I know this is like, what,
my third year in here? But for some reason, this
year, it's... I've seen a lot of what I would
assume in high school were the mean girls. Really?
Yeah, no. I love to hate to be a hater. That
makes sense. But... No, yeah, I just, like, you
know, the, like, stereotypical, like, what you
would say is, like, Regina George. Yeah, that
makes sense. I mean, they did just come out of
high school. That's true. They will get humbled.
It just, I've, okay. I have overheard so many
conversations. There are so many new high school
couples coming in. I've seen a lot of couples.
I've seen so many couples. Yeah, there's been
actually. A lot. I've noticed that, too. Every
time I turn around, I see two people holding
hands. I'm like, huh? Two people holding hands?
I'm just glad I haven't seen anybody making out
yet. I have! Where? Like, the... You know in
the courtyard, there's those benches in the shade?
Bruh, really? Yeah. I haven't seen any of that.
And then, like... Right next to the volleyball
court, there's, like, the little water things.
I have not been over there, so. No? No. Oh, I
noticed that now. Yeah, but then also, literally
just in the courtyard areas, and then on the
top of the hill. That's not surprising. On the
top of the hill. That hill's cool, though. I
like that hill. I haven't actually been on the
hill. You haven't gone up the hill? No. I've
gone up the hill. I, thankfully, have just, like,
circling back. I've been really lucky with parking
because I've been parking in the parking garage.
Which one? Like, on the top. The science one.
Oh, okay, yeah. That's so far, though. It is
far, but that's where I park, too. Not mine.
Mine are not anywhere near. My classes are both
in this room, actually. Nice. In this room? Yeah.
I have one in the MTC and one in the OCB, so
they're right next to each other. So I try to
either park in the student, like... center parking
or the FTC parking. I have to loop around so
many times. I don't do that because I get here
too late. My first class is at 9 .30 on Tuesdays
and Thursdays. I leave the house at 9 .15. I
mean, what, you live five minutes away? Like
10 minutes away, maybe. So you have five minutes
to park and get to your class? I mean, it's better
than me. I leave at 9 .15 to get to my 9 .30
class, and then I get to my class at 9 .35. Yeah,
that's probably when I get to class. My class
is at 11. I leave before 10 .20, and then I make
it here around 10 .50 and try to park and run.
Yeah, today I got here at... Probably 9 .55,
and my class was at 10. Jeez. I mean, I'm lucky
this semester. My teachers are all pretty chill.
Like, I played hooky today. I skipped class.
Bad influence. I know, guys. You shouldn't be
the host. Second weekend. I'm stuttering already.
No, it's just I'm in a statistics and then a
statistics help class. You mean stats? It's actually
pretty easy. I've completed all the homework
and that's why I skipped out today because they
were talking about the homework I had completed.
So I was just like, yeah. And then the attendance
is 5 % and I did extra credit already. So you're
all good. I'm all set. I don't think I could
use stats. I don't think I could either. I'm
actually like... I have to retake Mass Media
and Society because I failed all the way back
in 2020. What? Didn't you take it last semester
with me? No. Mass Media and Society? Oh, wait.
No, we were in news reporting. I took Mass Media
and Society the semester before that, which is
where I met Mike and Baptiste. Yeah, I have to
retake it. I took it in 2020 and I got a D. But
I wasn't taking the classes seriously. Because
everything was online. I wasn't a big fan of
that. Take one with Mike. This is fun. It's too
late now. I'm already in the class. Which teacher
from SBG do you have right now? I don't know
his name. Price? I do have Price for video production.
It's in this room. Yeah. And then Photo Journalism
with Mike. win -win you got the two best teachers
right but the mass media class we had to like
write about ourselves oh my gosh i didn't take
it seriously at all it was like uh put in there
while you're taking the class i'm like because
i got a d in 2020 and i have to retake it to
transfer i need the transfer credit plus it'll
make my gpa go up i'm sure brother's calling
me but you sound like your phone harper okay
so i'm just gonna text him and be like what's
up um but i can text and talk yeah uh multitasking
dude mike's mass media and society was like the
easiest class i've like ever taken i was thinking
he literally didn't make us do like anything
it was just like discussion based which was nice
yeah I wish I would have just took it because
now I don't really want to do the online course
because he's making us do a lot. So my original
schedule was 11 o 'clock. I have a broadcasting
journalism class with Baptiste and Seth in it.
I was talking about that earlier with you, Mackenzie.
That's fun. That's with Nate Heron. Another fine
just fell. He's the sports announcer for everything
KC sports, pretty much. So that's awesome. Who?
Nate Heron. The voice I recognize him from is
the Chiefs games. He's like, now prepare yourselves.
He's the voice. It's awesome. When he does it
in person, I'm like, oh my god, that's the guy.
Anyways, that's fun. And then after that, I have
a Designing Your Life class. Oh, I loved that
class. Yes, I have it with Valerie Mann. Yes,
I love her. Sweet, I love her. She's great. I
have her on Instagram. Never heard of that class.
Yeah, so that's fun. It's basically just figuring
out what you want to do with your life and what
you value about your life. Just fun. Just trying
to get more into mental health. And then originally...
I had another class after that. I had a career
and life planning class. And then they dropped
it without even telling me. So I bought the book
already, but it was like 15 bucks. So it wasn't
that big of a deal. But then I got it returned
because I found my receipt. So I got $7 back.
And then guess what I did last night? Signed
up for an online course of career and life planning
with the exact same teacher. So now I probably
need to go buy the book again. Oh my gosh. know
if there's a way but you can just say hey like
i mistakenly returned the book i actually do
need it no they like fully refunded it oh i thought
you said you only got seven dollars back right
well yeah it's college they're not gonna give
you all your money back so lame they're just
gonna use it as a used book probably even though
i didn't open it but it's whatever that kind
of sucks cheap book i don't really care it's
and i might not even need the book i need to
make sure because i think How it works is you
register for the class, but then the teacher
has to approve of it. Hello? The other one fell
down. Oh, did it? Oh, it did completely. It's
sitting. That's our guest. Yeah, so we do have
a guest spot on the couch. It was hanging on
the phone. Any guests, get ready. You'll sit
on the couch. It'll be nice. Yeah, it's a comfy
couch. I like it. Anyways, we weren't laughing
at you. No, it sounded like you were. Because
I can't see anything because the lights are off.
So I'm like, what are you laughing at me? Oh,
yeah. Guys, sorry. I'm the one who turned off
the lights because I hate the overhead lighting.
Oh, it's terrible in here. We're going to get
ring lights, hopefully. That way, when we get
video, it'll actually look good. Yes. Yeah. I
don't even remember what I was talking about.
The books? Yeah. I haven't bought any books,
and I won't be. I never bought my, which this
is probably the reason I did not do good in anatomy.
I didn't buy the book. I just didn't. And I don't
know why I refused to buy it, but I know why
I did so poorly in that class. I mean, this semester
I have discovered the library. So I go to the
library. Does the library have our books? Yes.
They do? Some teachers will put the book on reserve
if you can go get it from the library and you
can check it out for at least two hours. That's
what I did for Mike's photojournalism class.
Literally. It's not against the rule. You're
literally using the book. Very true. You just
won't have to go back and forth in there. Both
my classes have the book on reserve and you can
get it for two or three hours or something like
that. You just go up. You just go up to the librarian.
You're just like, I'm looking for a book that's
on reserve for a class. You tell her which class.
She hands it to you and checks it out with your
ID. And she writes a sticky note on there for
what time that you have to bring it back. You
can't leave the library, though. Yeah, that makes
sense. So you bring it back at that time. I got
a new ID. Speaking of IDs. Nice. Because my other
ID was terrible. I've had the same ID since 2020.
Yeah, I didn't have. Well, like. student id not
my actual id yeah that's what i mean okay since
2020 yes oh yeah you did come here like earlier
yeah i graduated in 2020 i forget that she's
older than both of us i'm 23 um as i turn 21
over the summer your id continue yeah that's
my id um because i didn't have facial hair and
my hair was terrible like the first because that
was from my like original first day of coming
into college fresh out of high school It was
terrible. I look ugly. And even the person, she's
like, I'm supposed to be professional, but you
do look a lot better. I'm like, thank you. So,
yeah, funny ID. I can't wait to get my actual
new driver's license. I got mine. Because it
literally isn't me. I have short hair. It looks
terrible. You know what hair I have in my ID
photo? Like your driver's license? Yeah. What?
I have freaking locks. I have locks all the way
down to my ankles. Oh, jeez. What? You should
have done the fro. No. No. Never. No. Oh, yeah.
I guess for viewers who saw last semester's on
the website, we had like clip or like. picture
art for describing the episode. If you saw Mackenzie,
she had a fro last semester. I did not like that.
She does not have fro anymore. Her hair looks
a lot better. I don't know how to describe it.
I still love my natural hair, obviously. I am
going to get the fro bag. This isn't going to
last forever. I have baby pink braids. I love
the pink. They're so cute. If you see someone
on campus with light pink braids, That's me.
I was going to show you the locks, though. Harper
looks the exact same. Yeah, all pink. I got new
hair over the summer. I don't put in a constant
ponytail anymore to ruin my hairline. Surprisingly,
no, Mackenzie and I do look a lot alike. Oh,
yeah. You guys are sparkling in resemblance.
It's surprising that we weren't born from the
same person. Honestly, you guys are just so similar.
I'm surprised you guys found each other here.
No, yeah. It's the small world. Mackenzie changes
her hair so often. I think that's the only difference.
Yeah, that's the only thing. I mean, our glasses
are different. Yeah. I need new ones. Yeah, your
prescription from what? 2020? No, no. The prescription
is from 2020, but the glasses are from 2022.
Prescription from 2020? I didn't know that. Yeah.
I thought it was like 2022. No. That's five years,
dude. I know. You get no prescription. You're
supposed to go every year, but like. Yeah, it's
been five. Okay. We're going to make it 10. I
don't feel like going to the eye doctor. You
don't want to get puffed in the eye with air.
No, I don't. Do you do a Costco membership? No.
I'm pretty sure they do like really cheap eye
tests. Do they actually? Yeah, because they have
their own eyewear in there. So all you have to
do is get - How about Walmart? Oh yeah, that's
true. I've usually, as a kid, used to go to America's
Best. But I was a kid. So the last one I went
to was this place by my house. Literally like
right next to a Jimmy John's. I don't even know
what it's called. Like America's Eyes or something.
Oh, now I want pizza. I don't even know. Jimmy
John's to pizza? Right. How did you... Because
Jimmy John's reminds me of pizza for some reason.
Like Papa John's? Is it because... Yeah. Okay.
It's the J. Okay. You guys know I almost worked
at Domino's? Guys, this is such an ADHD conversation.
I'm not even going to lie. I have sat back and
watched you guys talk for like... Maybe 10 minutes
now, and I'm just, like, waiting for a moment
to jump in and talk. You can jump in. Jump in.
Yeah, just jump in. No, I'm not saying it's a
bad thing. I'm just saying you guys switch up
conversation, and I know I'm guilty of this,
too. You guys switch up conversation so much.
We were talking about, what, the new freshmen
making out in the parking lots and stuff? To,
like, the hill to... Something. Classes. Classes.
Whatever. That's what you signed up for. Eyewear.
I don't think we have a single kind of thought.
We are still bringing back student stories. Yeah,
we do. We are. So actual news, we are bringing
back student stories. Jen will still be doing
that. They will still come out at the same time.
These will still come out Friday. Student stories
will still come out Monday. And we might. We
get some other podcasts that might be in the
works. I think we might be thinking of sports
podcasts. Yeah, sports podcasts or something.
So if you're interested, again, like last semester,
if you're interested in being a part of any...
part of the messenger of course message message
messenger messenger the messenger message the
messenger yes email us or contact us on instagram
come to the room whatever come to the room it's
just my country's office i don't really just
show up just show up and go hey i want to be
a part of the messenger and here's a good chance
you'll at least get an interview true just come
to like the student media room i have no idea
what the number is what is it like 252 217 162,
I don't know. I don't know. It's the big student
thing. You'll see it's right above the lunchroom.
Yeah, we're right above the cafeteria. If you
see that weird little, it's like a walkway to
the elevator. We're right there. It's like floor
1 .5. Yeah, right? 1 .5. Come up the big steps
and then turn to the left and go up those other
steps. Even though the slots for the messenger
are very, we have limited, but. There's also
freelance. I was going to say we have a bunch
of opportunities. Freelance opportunities like
photography, videography. If you want to train
with Zach on producing podcasts, I feel like
that could be. Train me. Train me, Zach. You
want to know? It's hard. I do. We'll figure it
out. I'm also going to have to train myself when
we switch to video. That's true. You can also
take Mesner's class. Dude, yeah. He's a big help.
I'm done with my last three classes. I'm probably
going to take it when I get to UTA, though. I
think it's a part of my major. What's your graduating
major for here? Probably liberal arts. I think
it's just liberal arts. Is that what's yours?
Liberal arts. I did look into ADHD conversation.
I did look into. switching over to journalism
here but we don't have a journalism degree no
we don't yeah it's just liberal arts is kind
of the closest thing you can get yeah liberal
arts is kind of the closest thing you can get
for a lot of things in like the journalism or
like other kind of fields that are similar like
to that like photo journalism we have a lot of
journalism classes though plus you can do the
internships exactly a major yeah because i mean
there's The podcasting, the photojournalism,
the news writing and reporting, mass media and
society, obviously. Obviously, as listeners,
we are trying to sell you on the journalism department
right now. Yes, please. Become a journalist.
You can do anything. It's so fun. Not becoming
a journalist. I mean, not saying that that isn't
fun, but the classes that we provide. are so
fun they are the video production class we are
using literal video cameras they're heavy very
heavy but video cameras we have actual good equipment
for our podcasting systems and anything to do
with media we have our own news team we have
our own newsroom we have like um this entire
pod lab we have a pot we have a podcast and recording
room and even if you don't want to use this one
specifically what's the like student center has
one yeah the student center has one actually
that's like oh i got my headshot down there yesterday
within my that's the student center i thought
that was ocb that's what i meant not student
center student student lounge oh what i meant
yeah um you're right um yeah i got my headshot
down there yesterday for my broadcasting journalism
because He wants us to make a LinkedIn. So I
made a LinkedIn. Professional headshot is kind
of required. Except I forgot that it was happening.
So thankfully I did my hair. Was wearing a one
-piece shirt. Except I cropped it so it didn't
show. So we're good. I'm upset with LinkedIn.
Really? Yes. I have literally no idea. I've never
used it before. It's kind of hard to use in my
opinion, but I literally like was looking up
jobs, nail tech jobs, and they gave me freaking
technician jobs to work on cars. Do you have
like your, what is that? The license? Yeah. Yes.
Oh my God. I went to school and everything. My
nails? I can. I'll do it for free just because
I haven't done them in so long and I don't know
if they'll look good. Hey, no. You said you were
going to do mine first before you started recording
this. Oh, okay. Obviously, there's competition
going on, guys. I need my nails done. There's
a difference. I can get mine done. You know how
hard it is to type with acrylics on? Yeah. You
know how hard it is to not look fab? I mean,
like, I struggle. Like, I don't know because
I always look fab. These pictures are a little
old because, I mean, I had a very... ADHD conversation.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah. But those are some
of the ones I've done. We won't sidetrack this
much when we're doing actual episodes. Those
pink ones are probably the best ones I've done.
And those ones are acrylic. Damn. Zach is more
girly pop than anyone in this room. Yes. I see
the nails. I do. Here you go. I've done more.
Obviously. But I've had terrible luck with nail
jobs. What is the word? Why are you staring?
So we got a new soundboard. So I have sound effects.
We can't hear them as loud as they probably can.
No, you can't, but you can still kind of hear
it. So I'll be doing sound effects whenever I
see fit. I have crickets for whenever Harper
tells a really bad joke. I have like the whenever
she tells a good joke. Somebody open the door.
Oh, it's Harper. What are you doing? It's so
hot in here. It is very hot in here. I'm so sorry.
Very sad trombone. I think I'm just not hot because
the air is like direct. Yeah, I know. You're
so lucky. Everton works out perfectly for you.
I don't like it. I don't like it at all. My feet
are cold. Oh, poor you. Yeah, sound effects.
That'll be fun. I'll probably add more custom
ones as we go along. That'll be fun. Welcome
back to your first week of school. It'll be the
third week once this is posted. Wait, is it the
third week right now? This is week two. We're
going on to the third week. This comes out this
Friday. Hopefully you guys are settled into your
classes by now. You got your schedules on lock.
Yesterday was your last day to refund your class
without... Yesterday for us. It would be, like,
a week. Oh, yeah, it's steady for us. But anyways,
so the second was the last chance to get a full
refund on dropping classes. Oh, my God, it is
the third today. Yes, it is. But, hypothetically
speaking, you can still get it withdrawn with
a W on your transcript. That is true. You just
won't get a refund. You won't get a refund. I
thought you'd get, like, half. No. Right? No.
Oh. Unfortunate. Wait, that's for books. Oh.
Yeah, clearly. Anyways. yeah there's calf kickoff
coming up in what two weeks a week exciting yeah
that's actually really fun we'll probably have
a table i think we did last semester we do if
we have a table we should totally have a podcast
podcast tables yeah we'll probably be there hopefully
i'll talk to people i have an old one but it
doesn't go to my phone anymore like i want to
get one of those ones off of tiktok i got mine
Do you guys shop on the TikTok shop? Nope. I
used to, and I don't have TikTok. I actually
deleted TikTok a while ago before even deleting
Instagram and Snapchat. It is pretty addicting.
Yeah, it's bad. But luckily, I don't spend money
on TikTok shop anymore. Because I bought, you
know like the little popper things? Yeah, the
little controllers. But they have like the back.
No, but yeah. So that it pops it back up. It's
like a game. I have one of those, and I bought
it for a dollar. I want one. I almost bought
one of those for a dollar, too. But I didn't
trust the TikTok show. I bought the air freshener
that was, like, the little jar at one point.
I like those. It was pretty nice. I bought candy
at one point, which was probably not the smartest
idea, but it was gas, and I'm still alive, so
it wasn't poison. It was the sour rope, or sour
strips, but it was the Blue Raz one. Okay. Was
it the freeze -dried ones, or was it just, like,
regular? No, it was just, like, the... regular
candy okay because they sell them at walmart
but they don't have the blue raz one oh that
sucks yes did you guys ever try the pink sauce
that that lady was making no the one that she
would dip in like dip wings into yeah what no
you don't know what i'm talking about is it literally
called pink sauce because i've seen it Because
obviously I see like almost every product at
Walmart at this point. Oh yeah, I think it is
sold at Walmart. Are you thinking of pink sauce
or the pink stuff? Like the pink stuff is a cleaner.
Yes, pink stuff is the cleaner. I've seen pink
sauce. Don't they package it? I've literally
seen jars of it, I think. Yeah, she used to send
them, but like they would come busted open. I
don't know. People say it tastes like different
things. Does it taste like pink? Guys, now that
we have a podcast with video. We should totally
do an episode of product. What if we do a hot
one? Wait, do what? A product review. We could.
Oh, my gosh. That sounds like fun. We could do
Jelly Belly or the jelly. The ones that pop.
That's what it's called. Yeah. Like I said, I
told you, food reviews. We'll have food reviews.
And I said dance parties, too. ASMR. Oh, we're
not turning into a mukbang. We'll have fun. Video
will be nice. I'm excited. That means you guys
will actually have to put effort in your appearance
every day. I'm not going to lie and say I do.
I don't know if you noticed, but I drew hearts
on my face. I can't see anything, dude. We should
get matching t -shirts. And I feel like that's
what we should wear for every single episode.
They have to be, like, the ugliest shirt. We'll
find one when we go to Goodwill. I mean, I see
a lot of them, like, just have, like, mass, what
is it, like, back stock or whenever a product
doesn't sell at Old Navy or something. Yeah,
no, they sell them and they give them away in
bulk. Yeah. Yeah, no, we can find something.
We should make our own podcast shirts. I mean,
you can. You can literally go on Amazon and get
custom shirts and just put an image on it. Amazon,
I'm going on Comfort Colors. Huh? Amazon, I'm
going on Comfort Colors. What's Comfort Colors?
Comfort Colors is like so good. I'm sorry for
saying like so much. Comfort Colors is a brand
for t -shirts. It's like a brand. Basically.
For like t -shirts. Ew. Are you aware of... What's
the one with the octopus? You know what I'm talking
about? What? I know. The brain. Ink pot. Ink
plot. Plot ink. Something like that. Guys, I'm
so bad with fashion. That's the one thing I suck
at. It's the only thing I suck at, actually.
I'm great at everything else. Another example,
like Redbubble. Oh, I love Redbubble. I bought
so many stickers on Redbubble. I've never been
on there. You've never been on Redbubble? No.
Dude, I gotta get you on Redbubble. I have so
many stickers from Redbubble. Literally, dude.
Redbubble's awesome. But Comfort Colors has the...
This is not promoted. I'm not getting paid to
say this. Yeah, we're promoted on the first episode.
Comfort Colors. I will not buy merch at a merch
stand for artists unless it is by Comfort Colors.
Really? Literally. Before, yeah, whatever. But
after, I'm not touching a t -shirt unless it's
comfort colors. Because it's so, it's, okay.
The shirts itself are so soft. I will bring,
they're good material too. And there's a bunch
of color options and plenty of different, like,
sizes and, what, shapes of t -shirts. Yeah, length.
Yeah, but. They also have, like, crops, like,
tanks, whatever. Okay. I have just, like, a whole,
like, a favoritism for comfort colors. Half of
my closet is probably comfort colors. Just t
-shirts. Dude, half my closet. I actually need
to literally go through everything and redo my
closet because it's so bad. I would love to do
that, but I don't want to. That's fair. There's
a lot of stuff in there. And I have all my birthday
dresses in there, too. And they're all, like,
super long gowns. I just have, like, the same
t -shirt, just in different colors. And then
I have, like, sweatpants, shorts, and jeans.
That's it. Might as well, we should probably
all wear our shorts. I'm not saying that's, like,
a group thing. But before the weather gets too
freezing and still is, like, you know. Kind of
nice. Yeah. We should wear shorts before we take,
you know. I've been on my short grind. This is
the first time I've worn sweatpants in like a
month. I know this is probably just... I like
wear skirts instead of shorts. I've been trying
to get into skirts. I just haven't been able
to find any. I love it. I just bought a couple
skirts from Ross. Oh my gosh. I was going to
mention because Cap Kickoff is coming up. There
isn't a lot. It's pretty quiet. You will see
things around campus and you should totally join
in on it. But there's not going to be a lot of
activities until that calf kickoff. Yeah. Most
things are still kind of like starting up. Right
now it's just like a bunch of tables. Getting
people signed up for stuff too stark. Yeah, yeah.
There's the tables to talk to a random guy about
animal cruelty, and then there's that table with
all the balloons, and they do, like, they have,
like, snacks. I saw them have poppies and popcorn.
I saw one that had, like, strawberry something.
Like, their entire thing was, like, they had
strawberry -flavored stuff. Weird. It was...
It was like the first week of classes. I don't
know if they're still out there. Did you see
the ice cream truck that was on campus? Oh, no,
I didn't. I've seen it like throughout the semesters
I've been here. I haven't seen it this semester.
It was here last week. I know they have a Kona
Ice that stops by every now and then. My friend
works at Kona Ice. There was a guy driving around
today in the little cart, and he handed me a
flower. Oh, that's nice. What kind of flower?
And it was so sweet. I don't remember. But it
was pink. It was pink. Oh, it's called a wine
cup. And I was going to bring it in here. Wine
cup. Yeah. People would just name flowers anything,
do they? Yeah. I don't know why it's called a
wine cup. At first, I looked it up, and it was
trying to say that it was a rose, and I'm like,
this is not a rose. I would know what a rose
looks like. Exactly. I'm like, this is nowhere
near a rose. All right. I mean, we just looked
at the events, and not much is going on. So,
yeah. Nothing's going to happen until - Things
are starting up. Join clubs, though. True. Lots
of clubs. If you're interested in the messenger,
message us. Message the messenger. Next week
we'll probably have more exciting things to talk
about. Yeah, probably. As the semester starts,
more things are starting up. People are still
trying to get into the rhythm of it, especially
all the new freshmen. I don't know if I mentioned
it because I don't know if we got off track afterwards
because I totally think we got off track. But
I was saying previously, like 30 minutes ago,
that having a table out there is... probably
good exposure for us because that's how i found
the girls from last semester for girl talk debates
um and that was one of our best episodes that's
true yeah no so yeah if we want to start a table
that'd be awesome i think i really want to i
think we really should it's definitely a good
marketing idea so we can literally do like right
here yeah and then we can literally just come
over here and show them the pod room exactly
yeah oh but anyways yeah should we Wrap up this
episode? I think so. I think we're good for the
first episode. Well, thank you guys for listening
to our first episode back. It might be a little
rocky while we get to figure out all this camera
stuff. We'll be more structured. We'll have more
of the same things you can expect from each episode.
This one was just us kind of talking. getting
back into podcasting. Yeah, once we have some
articles out, we'll definitely feature some of
the news writers, and we'll... Yeah, we're going
to try to have guests on pretty much every episode
if we can. Maybe we'll have a tiny five -minute
game to play before, and just a get -to -know
-the -person. Yeah. We'll dive into the articles
and stuff. I'll bring some games and stuff. Getting
off of our sidetrack, I don't know how much of
that we'll keep, but we'll bring games. We'll
have fun. We'll play whatever. We'll eat food.
It'll be a fun podcast. We'll eat food. We will
have mukbangs. We're not going to have a mukbang.
We should. That sounds like fun. Anyways. I'll
talk to Mike. Okay. Well, we will talk to you
guys next episode where hopefully we might have
the video up by then or no? Probably not. I wouldn't
count on next week's episode having video, but
I would say. within a month yeah definitely for
sure so pretty soon our intro will change because
it'd be you know pretty soon our intro will change
because it'll be hey guys welcome back to our
video podcast yeah yeah so yeah we'll still be
posting video or we'll be we'll still be posting
audio but we'll be posting the video with it
as long or along with it as well so yeah more
more options for you to digest us We won't be
able to make, like, snarky faces at each other
secretly. I know. We're not going to be able
to keep secrets anymore. Just, like, secretly
flip each other off. Like, shut the f*** up.
We're going to have to blur out so many middle
fingers. But, yeah. Anyway. But we'll see you
guys next week. Bye. Bye.
