WEBVTT 00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:08.089 Hey everyone, welcome back to the Main Mic. My 00:00:08.089 --> 00:00:10.310 name is Harper. And I'm Mackenzie. I'm Zach. 00:00:10.669 --> 00:00:15.710 And this is the messenger, mic'd up. You never 00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:18.670 do that though. I know. That's funny. I'm just 00:00:18.670 --> 00:00:20.850 trying something new. It feels so weird just 00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.190 to be like, hey guys, it's your host. I mean, 00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:27.489 yeah, but. So this was take two of that. Take 00:00:27.489 --> 00:00:30.190 two. We're keeping it though. Yeah. I liked it. 00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:35.179 We're so close to video. Dude, I know. We were, 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:39.219 what, it's been like an hour until you got here. 00:00:39.579 --> 00:00:42.659 And we were just setting everything up, trying 00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:46.159 different angles, trying different lights. We 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:54.060 have the board up behind. The couch? Yeah. Behind 00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:58.420 Mackenzie? No, I was going to say up behind the 00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:01.539 camera for some reason. But that doesn't make 00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:06.849 sense. And also. Yeah, it's on the wall. But, 00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:11.569 yeah. So, it's up on the wall behind Mackenzie. 00:01:11.709 --> 00:01:13.090 We have some cameras set up. We have lights set 00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:15.469 up. It's hot. We're going to get a fan before 00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:18.030 next week for sure. Or we should just break that 00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.549 window and have the... Well, this thing's broken 00:01:20.549 --> 00:01:23.349 now. Like, it won't go up. It won't go up? Yeah, 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:27.329 it broke. Did you break it? I guess so. I don't 00:01:27.329 --> 00:01:31.510 know. What'd you do? I tried to bring it up and 00:01:31.510 --> 00:01:37.909 then it died. Okay, Harper will fix it. While 00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:45.989 she's doing that, Mackenzie, how was your week? 00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:53.670 Stressful. It was a lot. A lot, a lot. As is 00:01:53.670 --> 00:02:00.060 every week. With us three. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just 00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:04.200 tired. I'm like a busy person nowadays. But I 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.319 have been officially hired at the messenger. 00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:08.979 Oh, you're officially finally like an employee 00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:17.759 of us? Yeah. Finally. Break it even more? You 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.180 should leave it alone. It looks like it's broken. 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.319 We'll send a maintenance repair. Except it'll 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.340 take them three weeks to come over like they 00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:30.199 did for the light. Right. How was your week, 00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:37.199 Harper? Oh. How was my week? Yeah. So, as some 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.539 of you guys may know, I did just get a new job. 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.580 Like, recently. That job has been shut down. 00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:48.979 What? Yeah. So, I currently am looking for a 00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:53.240 new way to make money. Like, the whole job is 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.020 just, like, shut down. What happened? Just that 00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:57.020 location. There's two locations. It just wasn't 00:02:57.020 --> 00:03:01.680 making enough money. Oh. I hate to be a little, 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.300 like, I don't know, speak bad things into the 00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:11.020 world, but I don't think majority of Park Place 00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:14.419 restaurants are going to make it. Probably. I 00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:17.680 mean, that's a real expensive area. I just think, 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.120 I don't know. In Park Place, what, Burger Fight 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.319 has been gone. California Pizza Kitchen has been 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.199 gone and replaced. Both of them actually have 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.639 been replaced. That one ice cream shop, Ice Cream 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.020 Bay. It used to be Ice Cream Bay, but it's not 00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:35.000 anymore. I haven't been to Park Place in forever, 00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:37.740 so I don't recognize any of these restaurants. 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.240 There's been multiple, and I mean multiple, ice 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:49.840 cream spots there. So it very much could be Ice 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.560 Cream Bay. Let me double check. I haven't been 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.580 to Park Place in a long time, but the last time 00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:57.500 I was there, Ice Cream Bay was there. Oh, yeah. 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.240 It is still Ice Cream Bay. Oh, okay. But it used 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.039 to be something else that was ice cream, and 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.960 before that, it was something else that was ice 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.439 cream. Mm -hmm. And, yeah, because it used to 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.280 be one of those rolling ice cream places. Like 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.220 Freezing Moo? Yeah. There was one of those over 00:04:16.220 --> 00:04:19.339 here. What? They roll up ice cream? Yeah, they're 00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:21.759 really thin. I've never tried that, but I've 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.120 seen a lot of clips on them. They were just okay, 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.360 honestly. It was just ice cream rolled up. You 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.600 pay extra for it. You're just paying for the 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.879 experience to watch it. It did kind of look cool, 00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:35.500 and I do think we should bring that stuff back. 00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:39.379 There was one by the mall. There's one in the 00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:43.360 mall, is there not? Do they still have the dry 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.810 ice? dragon i was gonna say the dragon ball i 00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:51.069 don't know no they got rid of that i never tried 00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:54.110 the hydrogen dragon ball okay i never tried those 00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:56.629 i never did either because i was always worried 00:04:56.629 --> 00:04:59.889 that it's like not good for you right there's 00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:01.910 a new ice cream place where freezing moo used 00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:07.069 to be by the mall on 95th next to kava if you 00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:10.610 eat a kava but is it like kava and bibibop and 00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:15.160 oh is it a betty race no it's a handles I only 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.160 remember that there is an ice cream shop there, 00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:21.360 and I thought it was a Betty Ray's. Because it's 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.519 between, yeah, Cava and Bibby Bob. And in the 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.220 middle, there's just, the whole building's just 00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:31.980 blue in the middle. It's Handles now, and Handles 00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:37.759 is blue. But it's similar to, what's that other 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.439 ice cream place? I don't even know. Can't think. 00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:46.100 Andy's? Is it, like, yeah, an Andy's or a... 00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:48.399 Silas and Maddie's? No, it's not Silas and Maddie's, 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.259 but I do love Silas and Maddie's. I like Silas 00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:52.660 and Maddie's. But I think it's Andy's because 00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:55.620 you can, like, walk up to Andy's and they have, 00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:57.980 like, the windows, right? Yeah, it's like that. 00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.800 So it handles... And I only know this because 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.180 I picked up a DoorDash order. DoorDash are in 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:08.100 the building. But you just walk up to the window 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:09.720 and you order and then you walk to the other 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.459 window and they hand you what you order. But... 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.839 So you don't go inside at all? No. Hmm. I don't 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.959 know if I love it or hate it. Yeah, they do that 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.480 at Andy's. That's what I was saying. Yeah, except 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.819 they also have a drive -thru. Does this place 00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:27.899 have a drive -thru? No, because it's connected 00:06:27.899 --> 00:06:32.379 to that strip of restaurants, Kava and Baby Bop. 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.959 I know where that is. Yeah, like by the mall? 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.579 Right next to Cheddar's. No, there's nothing 00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:40.689 behind it. It's just... except like main highway 00:06:40.689 --> 00:06:43.829 street interesting that's an interesting when 00:06:43.829 --> 00:06:45.829 do they add that because like it's like a couple 00:06:45.829 --> 00:06:48.810 weeks ago recently yeah that's a weird time to 00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:51.089 make an ice cream i know but like it's been so 00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:54.750 hot so i'm sure they've had a fair amount of 00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:57.949 business oh no whenever i used to work at tropical 00:06:57.949 --> 00:07:00.209 smoothie cafe surprisingly we'd get a lot of 00:07:00.209 --> 00:07:02.949 business in the winter like a lot of business 00:07:02.949 --> 00:07:07.660 i still eat ice cream in the winter oh yeah Quit 00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:09.579 saying that. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to 00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:13.800 beep it every single time you mention it. What? 00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:19.240 Beep? Like... The word? No. Saying that that 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.060 restaurant tried to kill you. No. Right? We just 00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:25.600 kind of do the... Oh, we kind of do the... The 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.519 thing we did that we got rid of. Yeah. Anyways, 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.540 what's going on this week? There is actually 00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:33.949 quite a bit. There's a lot of posters around 00:07:33.949 --> 00:07:36.829 the campus. Yeah, I was looking over at that. 00:07:37.889 --> 00:07:43.250 So not this week, of course, but in about three 00:07:43.250 --> 00:07:46.550 weeks. Because it is October now. It is October. 00:07:46.610 --> 00:07:49.430 So we're going to go out of order for this because 00:07:49.430 --> 00:07:51.529 there are a lot of events going on. Just general 00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:55.170 things happening soon -ish. Yeah. So there's 00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:58.769 a pumpkin carving contest.

All voters will be entered in a chance 00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:16.889 drawing for an additional prize, which is like 00:08:16.889 --> 00:08:21.589 t -shirt, cups, and a printer. A printer? That's 00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:27.980 crazy. That's kind of insane. Up next, we have 00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:30.899 October 14th. So this is going backwards. But 00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:33.580 closer to this, there's a meet and greet with 00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:36.379 Johnson County Community College trustee candidates. 00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:40.399 So the Student Senate and History Political Science 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.759 Department is hosting this.

But maybe other people would 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.460 have use for them. You could just drive up and 00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:34.200 drop it off.

Okay. So in three 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.740 weeks, we have the Trick or Treat for Kids, which 00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:36.000 is free candy, safe for families, trick or treating, 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.860 wear Halloween costumes. You can do friends, 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.220 family, kids, students, October 23rd, 5 to 7 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:48.500 p .m., the Calm 155 dining room. Dining room. 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:53.379 Let's go. We'll probably re -mention that. I 00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:56.440 might go get free candy. I'd definitely go for 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.320 free candy. We should have brought some candy 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.779 in from the office. It's okay. I also bought 00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:03.820 some more candy for us. I did not buy a bowl. 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.159 I went down. Should have bought a bowl. I went 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.639 down to buy milk for the coffee because I wanted 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.139 coffee and everything's frozen in our fridge. 00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:13.980 Freezer thing, yeah. I also turned it off. I 00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:15.960 told Mike, but I turned it off because it's at 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.759 one right now. So I just put it to off. So hopefully 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:23.559 that'll keep it cool. But not freeze. It might 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.080 melt. Like the ice in there? Because if it's 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.159 frozen... There's no ice in it. Okay. Okay. When 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.000 you said everything was frozen, I'm like, maybe 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.019 the inside is frozen too. Because that's what 00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:38.700 happened to my fridge. There wasn't any ice around 00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:41.240 it, though. That's the weird thing. It just gets 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.600 really cold. Yeah, it freezes the milks in there. 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.519 At one? At one. That's crazy. I don't think it's 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.340 a fridge. You think it's a freezer? That could 00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:58.679 be it. Who knows? We'll get it. We'll figure 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.759 it out. Let's see. This is also in about three 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.059 weeks, October 27th. We will re -mention this. 00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:11.740 The First Impressions Workshop for 2025. October 00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:17.090 27th, 6pm to 7 .30pm.

Speak your 00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:09.039 truth at the student voices. You're trying to 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.880 go into something else.

So it is for 00:17:57.089 --> 00:18:00.490 you, Mackenzie. It is not for me. Open mic. If 00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:02.569 you don't want to submit something to a magazine, 00:18:02.769 --> 00:18:04.890 you should stand up in front of like 100 people 00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:08.970 and talk. I do not smoke. Perform. Burning. What's 00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:15.670 that sound? Rattling car. Do I get out? Oh, my 00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:20.430 God. But I don't. I stay still.

Well, the burning car. 00:18:29.069 --> 00:18:31.849 But it was on fire? I would hope so. You delayed 00:18:31.849 --> 00:18:35.289 it by so long. You sat there for like 15 minutes. 00:18:35.309 --> 00:18:37.789 You're like, should I leave my car? Should I 00:18:37.789 --> 00:18:41.890 get out? For the fire? Is it smoking? Or is it 00:18:41.890 --> 00:18:45.009 just hot? Because it's like. overheating maybe 00:18:45.009 --> 00:18:47.569 i accidentally turned my heater on and not my 00:18:47.569 --> 00:18:52.549 ac you just gaslit yourself into staying in a 00:18:52.549 --> 00:18:55.690 carbon monoxide filled car due to the fact that 00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:58.089 it's on fire and you're not getting enough oxygen 00:18:58.089 --> 00:19:04.470 it wasn't on fire not at first it was just it 00:19:04.470 --> 00:19:06.730 overheated and it started smoking i'm like okay 00:19:06.730 --> 00:19:08.589 i'm just poking fun at you because you're so 00:19:08.589 --> 00:19:12.910 funny for that like actually I got out when I 00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:16.809 saw the flames. Like, two seconds after. I was 00:19:16.809 --> 00:19:18.970 in shock for a second. And then my cousin, like, 00:19:19.009 --> 00:19:21.890 yeah. Let's be glad your cousin was there for 00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:26.430 you. No, I still would have got out. I was sitting 00:19:26.430 --> 00:19:28.910 there in shock. And then my cousin had to help 00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:30.730 me get out of the car. No, he said something. 00:19:31.390 --> 00:19:37.029 And I was like, oh, it's real. The Dissociative 00:19:37.029 --> 00:19:41.049 Project. The dissociative process you have of 00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:43.670 just sitting there like, oh my gosh, if this 00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:47.549 is real. I mean, I understand it. Personally, 00:19:47.609 --> 00:19:52.130 I wouldn't stay in my car, but. You're okay. 00:19:52.230 --> 00:19:59.509 It's okay. I survived. Anyways. Is that it? I'm 00:19:59.509 --> 00:20:01.049 pretty sure. The other stuff is like different. 00:20:01.930 --> 00:20:04.769 Yeah. That's what we'll talk about later. I had 00:20:04.769 --> 00:20:10.680 one. What is it? Speak your truth. Or don't. 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.420 No, you didn't already do it. It's a pumpkin 00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:16.039 patch visit. Oh, nice. That's happening at the 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:19.839 Lewisburg Cider Mill on October 11th from 12 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:25.259 to 2. Let's go.

Because 00:20:54.269 --> 00:20:58.710 it looks the same as the other flyer. The Lewisburg 00:20:58.710 --> 00:21:03.920 Cider Mill is so nice. I've never been. I've 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.140 also never been pumpkin picking or whatever. 00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:10.579 That's so sad. That's like a childhood memory 00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:14.339 for me. It's like, yeah. So many mosquito bites. 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.859 That sucks. Why did you get mosquito bites? We're 00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:20.619 walking through a pumpkin patch. It's cold out. 00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:23.640 Not always. When you go and it's cold out, there's 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.480 no mosquitoes. Yes. And then you warm up with 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.829 hot cider. Yeah, that's true. Wearing flannels. 00:21:30.829 --> 00:21:33.230 And I don't know if they still do this at... 00:21:33.230 --> 00:21:35.289 I don't think I've ever worn a flannel. Or a 00:21:35.289 --> 00:21:38.809 flannel. I've not worn a flannel in forever. 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:42.130 I don't know if they still do this at the Lewisburg 00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:44.650 Cider Mill, but they, at one point, I remember, 00:21:44.829 --> 00:21:48.650 made hot pancakes in front of you. They would 00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:51.910 make them to order. It was the best thing ever. 00:21:52.190 --> 00:21:54.880 That sounds good. And then you got cider. And 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:56.640 then you went into their little shop and bought 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:01.500 the best root beer ever. I don't like root beer. 00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:08.839 Die. No. Gosh. They have a lot of other sodas 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:11.920 besides root beer. But it's nice. And they have 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:16.460 vendors outside. It's like a little like.

They have, like, some rides, 00:23:25.069 --> 00:23:28.450 I think, to an extent. The sack slides. Yeah. 00:23:28.529 --> 00:23:31.630 Oh. I thought that was in Kearney. Is that how 00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:33.930 you say that? Kearney? Yeah. I mean, they're 00:23:33.930 --> 00:23:36.750 probably everywhere. Yeah, there isn't just one. 00:23:37.569 --> 00:23:39.789 Lewisburg Cider Mill is the only cider mill that's 00:23:39.789 --> 00:23:45.349 ever existed. Yeah. Cider Mill. I want to go. 00:23:45.609 --> 00:23:47.230 I've said I've wanted to go for, like, the last 00:23:47.230 --> 00:23:49.029 three years, and I just haven't. But, like, this 00:23:49.029 --> 00:23:52.099 might be the year where I just go. Same. I think, 00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:54.420 okay, every year there's always like, oh, I want 00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:57.579 to do this. I want to go to a Christmas pop -up 00:23:57.579 --> 00:24:00.660 bar. But most of them are always like 21 plus. 00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:04.400 And this is the first year I've been 21 in December. 00:24:06.129 --> 00:24:08.250 I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to go to 00:24:08.250 --> 00:24:10.809 all those Christmas pop -up bars. I'm going to 00:24:10.809 --> 00:24:13.869 be super excited for whenever Valentine's Day 00:24:13.869 --> 00:24:16.470 and the Valentine's pop -up bars. Finally be 00:24:16.470 --> 00:24:19.410 able to properly celebrate St. Patrick's Day 00:24:19.410 --> 00:24:23.529 as a fresh 21 -year -old. When is St. Patrick's 00:24:23.529 --> 00:24:26.710 Day? March 16th. Something like that. I'll be 00:24:26.710 --> 00:24:28.849 able to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It's like 00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:32.890 the middle of March. Mackenzie's been able to 00:24:32.890 --> 00:24:38.299 because she's unk. No. I don't actually celebrate 00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:41.880 St. Patrick's Day. Not even for funsies? Not 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.940 really. Not seriousness, but for fun? Not really. 00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:47.319 Eat a potato. I like to wear green, though. It 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:48.819 changes your life. Well, then that's celebrating. 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.920 That is quite literally celebrating. I wear green 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.240 all the time. But if you're specifically going 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.140 out of your way to wear green on St. Patrick's 00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:59.680 Day? I do it because I'm a skeptic. I do it because 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:06.019 I'm part Irish. I have like 1%. Irish. Something 00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:08.500 like that. We're all 1 % of everything nowadays. 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:13.819 All a hodgepodge of DNA. Yeah. Guys, sitting 00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:16.980 in this room, we're all probably like 10th, 11th, 00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:20.619 13th cousins. If you go far back enough, probably. 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.960 Everybody's related in some way. If you go far 00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.240 back enough, let's say. If you go back far enough, 00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:32.930 you'll find some resemblance somewhere. We're 00:25:32.930 --> 00:25:37.769 all related to Abraham Lincoln. George Washington. 00:25:39.769 --> 00:25:42.829 I'm also... I'm kind of distracting myself right 00:25:42.829 --> 00:25:46.049 now because I'm specifically looking for cheap 00:25:46.049 --> 00:25:48.349 clothes I can find on Facebook Marketplace because 00:25:48.349 --> 00:25:49.710 I'm going to... It's what you did last time. 00:25:49.910 --> 00:25:52.829 Well, no, this time is for a reason. I'm going 00:25:52.829 --> 00:25:57.250 to Chapel Roan on Friday. Oh. Chapel Roan! So 00:25:57.250 --> 00:26:00.029 I want to have... I mean, I don't care to dress 00:26:00.029 --> 00:26:02.130 up for concerts usually. I'm more of a comfort 00:26:02.130 --> 00:26:06.990 person because I'm not going to get called up 00:26:06.990 --> 00:26:10.049 on stage. You never know. Yeah, what if you do? 00:26:10.230 --> 00:26:12.269 What if she literally looks at you and she goes, 00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:15.670 Harper, get on stage. Let's hot to go together. 00:26:17.650 --> 00:26:19.869 I'd be wearing something like this and I'm like, 00:26:19.930 --> 00:26:22.660 are you sure? And she's like, yes. There's someone 00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:24.559 dressed up like a pony. There's someone dressed 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:28.079 up. Like a pony. Okay, so the Kansas City dates 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:31.599 are dressed up. You know, Chaperone does themes 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.900 for her shows. Kansas City is always going to 00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:38.599 be Midwest Princess Pink Pony Club theme. Yeah. 00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:44.019 So there are people who wear so many different 00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:46.319 outfits. I've seen someone dress up, yes, like 00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:50.119 a horse. Like there was a girl. I'm pretty sure 00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.779 she took her boyfriend. And there was a girl 00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:56.619 who dressed up not whenever she toured last and 00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:59.799 was in Kansas or had the Pink Pony Club. It may 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.960 not have been a Kansas City show. Girl dressed 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.380 up like a cowgirl. Right. And her boyfriend threw 00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:09.500 on one of those horse masks just as fun. And 00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:11.160 I think he wore like a pink shirt or something. 00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:14.220 But I was like, that's fun. That's funny because 00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:18.380 he can take it off. But for photos like. I don't 00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:19.849 know. You're going to be in the pit. I'm going 00:27:19.849 --> 00:27:23.529 to be like, H -O -T -T. Well, it's open. It's 00:27:23.529 --> 00:27:28.609 at World War I Museum, or II Museum. It's the 00:27:28.609 --> 00:27:33.109 open grass field. Oh, like the hill? Yeah. You're 00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:35.509 going to be on the lawn? Well, that's the entire 00:27:35.509 --> 00:27:37.650 thing. There's a VIP section, but it's literally 00:27:37.650 --> 00:27:42.450 just this square off to the side of the stage. 00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:45.049 So, do you have to buy tickets? Or does it just 00:27:45.049 --> 00:27:48.950 show up? You can just buy tickets to the concert. 00:27:49.690 --> 00:27:55.569 for vip and for ga but for the vip i believe 00:27:55.569 --> 00:27:59.089 it's sold out and before all her shows she does 00:27:59.089 --> 00:28:01.529 this thing where the people who camp outside 00:28:01.529 --> 00:28:06.509 of the venue um for whatever time they always 00:28:06.509 --> 00:28:09.329 get like she'll give out like maybe 10 vip tickets 00:28:09.329 --> 00:28:14.900 the first 10 people in line um But for this specific 00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:18.059 venue, they're not allowing that. So they're 00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:20.680 like, you can come at 8 in the morning, max. 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.299 The first how many ever people to get here at 00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:27.720 8 a .m. will give out these wristbands. And I 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:29.680 was telling my mom that. I was like, maybe we 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:31.619 should go and see if we can get VIP. Maybe just 00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:34.539 experience it, see if we can get VIP. And she's 00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:36.240 like, you can go at 8 a .m. And I'm like, okay, 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.200 well, if I go at 8 a .m., I think they'll only 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:42.140 give me one VIP pass. Like, I can't go alone. 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:45.779 I don't know. That's kind of tricky, though. 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.839 Yeah, because you're not allowed to be there 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:51.960 before 8, but where is everybody going to be 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.000 before 8 o 'clock? Sitting in their cars and 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.119 then they just run. No, they're going to find 00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.160 someplace close that they're not going to run 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.980 as soon as it's 8 o 'clock. Yeah, probably. Or 00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:06.680 they'll still probably camp out before. They 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.359 just don't want people to camp out on the World 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:13.279 War II lawn or World War I. So, like... Figure 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:16.380 it out, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. Why is it 00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:17.980 there, though? I thought it would have been, 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:20.519 like, Starlight, maybe. I'm surprised she's not 00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.460 doing, like, T -Mobile. Or, like, even, like, 00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:25.380 the, um. She could sell out T -Mobile. For real. 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.880 Or, um, just the lawn in KCK. That would have 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:31.740 made more sense. I don't know about the lawn 00:29:31.740 --> 00:29:33.680 in KCK. Which one's that? It's, like, huge. I 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:34.500 don't know what it's called. It's, like, the 00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:37.819 amphitheater. Whatever. Oh, the Cardi B concert. 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.839 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Azura out in the theater at 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.579 Standstone. Yeah, the Cardi B concert was there 00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:45.059 because I went to that, and it's pretty spacious. 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.180 Well, she's from Missouri, so I think she wants 00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:50.039 to specifically have a Midwest Missouri theme. 00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:54.240 Okay. And she's really into having her own... 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:59.200 She really likes picking out venues that resemble 00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:05.910 festivals, you know? So a lot of outdoor arenas 00:30:05.910 --> 00:30:09.230 or places that won't pack you in and, you know, 00:30:09.250 --> 00:30:13.410 have heat on you. She's really into, like, having 00:30:13.410 --> 00:30:16.950 free space. That makes sense. Yeah. That's nice. 00:30:17.210 --> 00:30:20.910 Because, I mean, arenas or stadiums can be dangerous 00:30:20.910 --> 00:30:24.650 with overcrowding. Outdoors can still be dangerous 00:30:24.650 --> 00:30:26.470 with overcrowding, though. I mean, look at the 00:30:26.470 --> 00:30:31.250 Travis Scott concert. Well, that was a barred 00:30:31.250 --> 00:30:34.650 area, though. yeah but and also people rushed 00:30:34.650 --> 00:30:38.069 in yeah but that could still happen travis scott 00:30:38.069 --> 00:30:41.430 like just didn't stop yeah he kind of like they 00:30:41.430 --> 00:30:45.410 said he incited it yeah he he's like oh someone's 00:30:45.410 --> 00:30:48.869 dying yeah let him die let him die actually i 00:30:48.869 --> 00:30:51.289 don't think he documentary he really just didn't 00:30:51.289 --> 00:30:54.069 care no if someone asked at like one point he's 00:30:54.069 --> 00:30:55.769 like is everything good and then like two seconds 00:30:55.769 --> 00:30:58.130 later like people were screaming like literally 00:30:58.130 --> 00:31:02.279 being crushed and he just moved on Which is crazy. 00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:05.660 No, yeah. But anyways, no, yeah. I was scrolling 00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:07.420 on Facebook Marketplace because I'm trying to 00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:10.500 look for an outfit specifically for the concert 00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:14.559 coming up. And when I was scrolling, I saw this 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.539 little ad posted for it. Not for Chapel Rhone, 00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:22.720 but on Facebook Marketplace. And it says, free 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:28.000 stolen skateboard. What? Yeah. So a kid stole 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.579 a skateboard and it's probably just... Like, 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.400 I stole this. I don't want it anymore. I don't 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.200 want it, though. Like, it's not tied to me. Get 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:40.180 your fingerprints on it. Why would you put on 00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:42.400 there that it's stolen? I mean, I think it's 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.259 just a joke or maybe it's his friends or someone 00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:50.079 that he actually did steal it from. You know, 00:31:50.140 --> 00:31:55.339 I'm not really a Chapel Rowan fan. The door is 00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:59.690 right there. The only song I know is Hot To Go, 00:31:59.809 --> 00:32:01.730 literally. Oh, wow. You probably know. One of 00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:05.069 her most popular songs. Right. Have you tried 00:32:05.069 --> 00:32:06.930 listening to any of her other music? Mm -mm. 00:32:07.509 --> 00:32:09.630 Personally, I'm not a fan of her new song, The 00:32:09.630 --> 00:32:12.170 Subway. I was literally about to say Subway's 00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:16.490 so good. Well, it's good. It's just not my favorite. 00:32:16.589 --> 00:32:19.730 I like the end where it's like she's got away, 00:32:19.890 --> 00:32:22.230 and then she got away. I like that little change 00:32:22.230 --> 00:32:24.569 to it. That's my favorite part. It is a pretty 00:32:24.569 --> 00:32:29.720 repetitive song. Yeah. So is HT. Yeah. My favorite 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.420 is... So is that your favorite song? Of hers? 00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:37.099 No. I don't know. I don't really have a favorite 00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:40.039 of hers. I just kind of have her on a playlist. 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.180 I think mine specifically might be California. 00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:49.660 Or... I really did like... I mean, Pink Pony 00:32:49.660 --> 00:32:52.160 Club is just really good. Yeah, I like that whole 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.829 album. And then on top of that... I liked her 00:32:55.829 --> 00:32:59.450 a whole other album. So I really liked California, 00:32:59.710 --> 00:33:05.849 and I also do really like The Giver. Sorry, Kenzie 00:33:05.849 --> 00:33:08.670 made me yawn. I'm so glad I didn't get caught 00:33:08.670 --> 00:33:11.049 in that yawn chain. Kenzie, why are you tired? 00:33:11.609 --> 00:33:17.430 Because I was up from 7 a .m. yesterday till, 00:33:17.529 --> 00:33:21.950 like, midnight, and then I went to sleep and 00:33:21.950 --> 00:33:24.859 woke back up at 4 in the morning. And then I 00:33:24.859 --> 00:33:27.920 didn't go back to sleep until 7 in the morning, 00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.980 but I had to be up in 45 minutes so I could get 00:33:30.980 --> 00:33:34.099 to class. Why are you covering your mouth? Sorry. 00:33:34.180 --> 00:33:38.099 I apologize, Queen. That sucks. Absolutely. I 00:33:38.099 --> 00:33:39.920 have something that I just remembered that I 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.940 wanted to ask you if you knew about. What? And 00:33:42.940 --> 00:33:45.640 this can be cut, possibly. I don't know if it's 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.960 against the rules. Anyways, moral of the story, 00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:52.039 because I don't know what's cut. I just told 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:58.529 Zach to hit Mark. Yeah. So EA was bought. EA 00:33:58.529 --> 00:34:02.670 and Sims was bought for $55. Nope. Sims is going 00:34:02.670 --> 00:34:05.730 down to base game, which is really unfortunate. 00:34:06.250 --> 00:34:11.289 We are huge Sims. Not Zach, but Mackenzie and 00:34:11.289 --> 00:34:13.969 I, the two hosts of the show, while Zach is just 00:34:13.969 --> 00:34:16.909 our producer. Yeah, okay. And is on every single 00:34:16.909 --> 00:34:20.150 episode. Just FYI. Because you won't get us a 00:34:20.150 --> 00:34:23.789 guest. I have. Okay. Never mind. I'm not going 00:34:23.789 --> 00:34:25.789 to go on that tangent. We'll talk about that 00:34:25.789 --> 00:34:31.389 after the episode. Anywho. We are big nerds and 00:34:31.389 --> 00:34:34.750 geeks in here. We love anime. We love video games. 00:34:34.949 --> 00:34:39.969 We are pretty much losers. Pretty much? We're 00:34:39.969 --> 00:34:43.949 the epitome of losers. If you Google person who 00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:47.329 plays video games and still technically lives. 00:34:47.329 --> 00:34:49.360 This podcast will show up. still technically 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.539 lives with their parents while community college 00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:55.400 and xyz not saying community colleges for losers 00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:02.360 i'm just saying wait cut no i'm keeping that 00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.980 literally cut that um no i'm just saying we would 00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:11.940 pop up underneath like like typical stay -at 00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:17.710 -home gamer that's yeah yeah Okay, anyways, so 00:35:17.710 --> 00:35:22.329 I mentioned that specifically because I just 00:35:22.329 --> 00:35:24.289 thought it was, that's something that needs to 00:35:24.289 --> 00:35:28.030 be mentioned. I'm so mad about Sims being bought, 00:35:28.150 --> 00:35:32.829 EA being bought. But yeah, I wanted to mention 00:35:32.829 --> 00:35:35.969 that, A, because we're nerds, B, because we're 00:35:35.969 --> 00:35:39.349 also in journalism, and on top of that. This 00:35:39.349 --> 00:35:41.469 is real world news. This is real world news, 00:35:41.530 --> 00:35:45.820 and I didn't technically. mention any politicians 00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:51.480 names i mean i did but like it will be cut we'll 00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:56.920 see what makes it um but yeah no i just wanted 00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:58.960 to mention everything is politics everything 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:03.320 is politics video games is politics i so there 00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.079 was a sims crash out right before the sims bought 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.199 got bought after the update after the update 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.429 and everyone is now mentioning how That was probably 00:36:13.429 --> 00:36:18.750 a test run because everyone's saying that, or 00:36:18.750 --> 00:36:21.170 it's not everyone saying, it has been confirmed 00:36:21.170 --> 00:36:23.349 that Sims is getting rid of all their expansion 00:36:23.349 --> 00:36:25.269 packs. Even the ones that you bought, you're 00:36:25.269 --> 00:36:30.650 not getting refunded for it. Any add -ons, kits, 00:36:31.010 --> 00:36:33.210 et cetera, it's literally just going down to 00:36:33.210 --> 00:36:37.889 base game. Anyways, support Paralives. I thought 00:36:37.889 --> 00:36:40.289 that game got canceled. Did it get canceled? 00:36:40.670 --> 00:36:49.789 Yes. Did you hear any of that? We'll see. Okay, 00:36:49.789 --> 00:36:53.710 anyways, guys. Let me look this up. Paralives. 00:36:53.949 --> 00:36:58.710 Play Enzoi. Release date. December 8th, 2025. 00:36:58.949 --> 00:37:01.449 What do you mean? Seriously? Paralives is an 00:37:01.449 --> 00:37:03.650 upcoming live simulation game by Paralives Studio 00:37:03.650 --> 00:37:06.650 for Windows and Mac OS. The game, heavily inspired 00:37:06.650 --> 00:37:08.949 by The Sims, features house building and management 00:37:08.949 --> 00:37:11.250 in a small town. It is scheduled to release early 00:37:11.250 --> 00:37:16.360 access on December 8th, 2025. Hmm. Last time 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:19.059 I saw, the game was, like, completely canceled. 00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:21.639 They were like, yeah, we're not doing this. And, 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:23.320 like, a bunch of people had, like, pre -ordered 00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:25.639 the game. And I don't know if they got their 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:27.159 money back when they did that, though. But I 00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:29.820 guess if it's coming out, then it doesn't matter. 00:37:30.260 --> 00:37:32.739 The confusion may stem from the cancellation 00:37:32.739 --> 00:37:35.179 of another life simulation game, Life by You, 00:37:35.260 --> 00:37:38.940 which was developed by Paradox. An interactive 00:37:38.940 --> 00:37:43.480 official cancel was in 2024. Huh. Okay. Paradox 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.219 is still in development. Wait, what is Paralyze? 00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:50.159 Paralyze is way better. You can customize everything, 00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.000 and it's amazing, and I'm in love with it. Looks 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.099 like I know what you guys are going to play. 00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:59.219 Don't even get me started. Yes. Oh. Yeah, no, 00:37:59.300 --> 00:38:01.559 I definitely was confusing it with Life by You. 00:38:04.260 --> 00:38:07.699 Oh, that looks good. I still, like, I'm going 00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:11.900 to play Enzoi. Anyways, what are you guys doing 00:38:11.900 --> 00:38:16.579 tonight? Working. Yay. And quitting my job. Yay. 00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:22.059 Harper, what are you doing? Not working? No. 00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:24.619 I'm so glad you mentioned that. I don't have 00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:26.579 a job anymore, but I might have a job after this. 00:38:26.780 --> 00:38:29.099 I know. Yeah, you had a long, extensive phone 00:38:29.099 --> 00:38:30.659 call with somebody before we started recording. 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:35.059 Yeah. That was my old SRO, school resource officer 00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:38.179 from Blue Valley North. He's amazing. I love 00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:41.480 both of our Blue Valley North resource officers. 00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.380 Yeah, I've been besties with them. I don't think 00:38:45.380 --> 00:38:47.619 I ever talked to mine in high school. You totally 00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:50.019 should have. They're really cool people. I talked 00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:54.019 to mine because we got a complaint put on us 00:38:54.019 --> 00:38:59.719 and they sent our SRO to my house. Okay. And 00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.280 because we were playing loud music, I was having 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.539 a movie night with my friends and it was outside. 00:39:04.579 --> 00:39:07.340 I had a projector and I projected Cabin in the 00:39:07.340 --> 00:39:11.429 Woods onto my house. Oh. Yeah, it was pretty 00:39:11.429 --> 00:39:13.710 fun. And then we all, like. Are you saying you 00:39:13.710 --> 00:39:15.989 got in trouble for that? Not that specifically. 00:39:15.989 --> 00:39:18.969 Oh, okay. We all split off, and we all got in 00:39:18.969 --> 00:39:24.010 our cars. And three of my friends were in one 00:39:24.010 --> 00:39:27.190 car, and they were, like, blasting Disney music. 00:39:29.110 --> 00:39:32.849 Like, very loud. And so somebody called the SRO. 00:39:33.010 --> 00:39:36.389 Or, well, somebody called the cops, and our SRO 00:39:36.389 --> 00:39:39.280 from Olathe East came. And I recognized him. 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.000 I'm like, oh. And I spoke to him. He was like, 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.400 we got a complaint, a noise complaint. I was 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.820 like, oh. Because I was walking outside, walking 00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:52.820 down to my house because we were parked up the 00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:56.280 street. And he came and walked up to us. I was 00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:57.619 like, yeah, we got a complaint. I'm like, oh, 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:02.260 yeah, that's our friends in the car. We can tell 00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:06.420 them to turn it down. I think he did go up there, 00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:10.340 though. But he was cool. Yeah, he was cool. He 00:40:10.340 --> 00:40:14.099 got shot, though. At the school shooting that 00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:18.739 happened. Oh, my God. Okay. I'm so sorry for 00:40:18.739 --> 00:40:21.880 that person. I don't know how to respond to that. 00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:26.039 Right. He was like a hero on TikTok or whatever 00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.039 because they were putting him on TikTok and everything. 00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.940 I think he made a TikTok from the hospital bed, 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.789 too. I don't know. That's funny. But, I mean, 00:40:34.789 --> 00:40:37.449 that's cool. I mean, I'm glad he was protecting 00:40:37.449 --> 00:40:44.909 people. Yeah. Yeah. Tonight. What are you doing, 00:40:44.969 --> 00:40:48.929 Zach? There's a theater party here. Oh, really? 00:40:49.230 --> 00:40:52.909 Can I come? You can. If you want to.

This is the third year 00:41:04.070 --> 00:41:10.110 that we're doing it now. Just, like, quotations, 00:41:10.130 --> 00:41:13.090 beginning of the year, like, theater party, just 00:41:13.090 --> 00:41:14.949 to kind of get to, like, know everybody, like, 00:41:14.989 --> 00:41:17.190 new to the program or, you know, just, like, 00:41:17.250 --> 00:41:21.570 there's going to be karaoke, costume, like, contest, 00:41:21.949 --> 00:41:24.630 just fun events.

We should do 00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:34.039 a messenger Halloween party. That'd be so much 00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:41.179 fun. Yes! Our Halloween, I already had a really 00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:44.280 large freak out about this last episode, I think. 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:49.280 Halloween's on Friday. We can totally have a 00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.800 costume party. I will skip work. On Halloween? 00:41:53.900 --> 00:42:00.019 I would not go to work. Yeah, I'm skipping. literally 00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:03.480 on that friday night or not really night but 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:07.360 like afternoon i'd say like yeah maybe a three 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:11.780 to three to six yeah seven thirty seven yeah 00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:14.820 i would three to six thirty leave work early 00:42:14.820 --> 00:42:18.920 or not go to work no yeah i think that we'll 00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:21.260 mention it to mike Because we really do need 00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:24.119 all of the messenger staff to just meet and get 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:25.860 to know each other. I would say we need something 00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:28.179 before that, too, in case people can't necessarily 00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:32.179 make it on that one day. Maybe an after party. 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:34.940 An after party. Like a week later. We should 00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:38.699 do a Halloween party. And then a Thanksgiving. 00:42:38.860 --> 00:42:45.039 A Friendsgiving. Yeah. Message giving. I'll shut 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:48.820 up, I guess. So close. I love the enthusiasm. 00:42:52.750 --> 00:43:00.630 No. I'd say just like a regular meetup. Thank 00:43:00.630 --> 00:43:05.030 the messenger. Thank the messenger. Thanks -ter. 00:43:06.090 --> 00:43:10.469 Journalist giving. I don't know. Journalist thanks. 00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:14.670 Why don't we just call it co -giving? Co -workers 00:43:14.670 --> 00:43:19.219 giving. Co -giving. Then it's called Thank the 00:43:19.219 --> 00:43:21.960 Messenger. Final say. Like The Messenger, it 00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:26.699 can be The Giving. Like The Giving? No, that's 00:43:26.699 --> 00:43:29.260 called The Giver. That's The Giver. Close enough. 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:33.539 No, it's not. The Giving, The Giver. That's a 00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:37.800 goaded book. Never read it. I really, I always 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:39.820 laugh at the titles whenever I see it because 00:43:39.820 --> 00:43:42.820 there's two books that I'm aware of. There might 00:43:42.820 --> 00:43:45.059 be more books. Of that series? Yep, and it's 00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:48.510 called The Giver and The Receiver. Yeah. The 00:43:48.510 --> 00:43:51.530 giver and the receiver. And then the third book 00:43:51.530 --> 00:43:53.389 is called. I think we can move on. I think we 00:43:53.389 --> 00:43:56.710 get the point. What's the third book called? 00:43:56.750 --> 00:43:58.530 I don't know. Is there a third? I know there 00:43:58.530 --> 00:44:00.050 was a second because I remember hearing about 00:44:00.050 --> 00:44:02.409 it after. And I just remember it, like, sucked. 00:44:02.650 --> 00:44:03.949 I didn't even know there was a second one. Compared 00:44:03.949 --> 00:44:09.949 to, like, the first. Okay. Oh, no. I'm, like, 00:44:09.949 --> 00:44:13.329 totally off. The giver, Catherine. What the? 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.380 The Giver book series. The Giver, Gathering Blue, 00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:25.820 The Messenger, and Sun. Yeah, The Giver, Gathering 00:44:25.820 --> 00:44:29.739 Blue, Messenger, and Sun. Messenger? Messenger! 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:36.980 Us guys. We did it. I need to read those books 00:44:36.980 --> 00:44:38.719 because I've only ever read The Giver because 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:41.280 it was for school. Yeah, it was required. And 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.420 then we watched the movie afterwards. Yeah, the 00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:53.260 movie was alright. Did you also do... I believe 00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:57.860 in you. I did the one and only Ivan. What's the 00:44:57.860 --> 00:44:59.900 one with... The Outsiders. Stay Golden, Ponyboy. 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:03.119 The Outsiders. Did you just say that? Yes. My 00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.380 bad. You're good. We had to read that. We read. 00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.179 I was thinking, so I wasn't listening. The Outsiders 00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:13.869 is so good. It is good. So we listened. We had 00:45:13.869 --> 00:45:16.590 an audiobook playing while we read in class so 00:45:16.590 --> 00:45:20.070 our teacher didn't have to read to us. I spoiled 00:45:20.070 --> 00:45:22.329 the book for everybody. Really? By accident. 00:45:22.650 --> 00:45:24.989 How? Because I was sick one day and then I came 00:45:24.989 --> 00:45:26.829 back the next day and without thinking I was 00:45:26.829 --> 00:45:32.170 like, did this character die already? You were 00:45:32.170 --> 00:45:34.230 young. Let's not blame me for that. Why would 00:45:34.230 --> 00:45:37.610 you do that? Seventh grade. Oh, that's true. 00:45:38.030 --> 00:45:41.920 Anywho. But yeah, no. Those were, like, the books. 00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.599 Also, that teacher hated me regardless, so I 00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:48.179 might have just done it for the bit. So there's, 00:45:48.179 --> 00:45:52.360 like, because of Winn -Dixie, there was The Giver, 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.840 there was The Outsiders, there was... For our 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:02.039 art class, we watched The Wolf Children. The 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.579 anime movie? Yep. I've never heard of that. But 00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:07.260 I've never got to finish it because we had to 00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:10.440 end class early. Finish it. I've always wanted 00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:12.280 to. I literally have no idea where to watch it. 00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.820 I can't believe you've seen Wolf Children. I've 00:46:15.820 --> 00:46:18.780 never even heard of it. You need to watch it. 00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:22.119 I don't watch movies. Not even the One Piece 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.659 movies? I've watched a few of them. Watch them. 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.480 The One Piece ones? Those two. Just in general. 00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.900 Everywhere that it's posted, I have to pay money 00:46:34.900 --> 00:46:38.019 to watch it. Look, is there Crunchyroll? I will 00:46:38.019 --> 00:46:39.880 give you my Crunchyroll so that you can watch 00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:41.280 it. I'll just watch it. I don't know. I'm guessing. 00:46:42.260 --> 00:46:44.119 There's not a lot of movies on Crunchyroll. I 00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:46.440 don't think it is. They only just added some 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:48.679 of the other. Because Crunchyroll only had like 00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:50.699 three One Piece movies. And they only just now 00:46:50.699 --> 00:46:54.579 added like another three. All right. But we are 00:46:54.579 --> 00:46:56.960 kind of running out of topics. I've mentioned 00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:58.400 everything that I wanted to mention. There's 00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:02.329 not infinite topics. Well. There are, if we keep 00:47:02.329 --> 00:47:05.010 going. There are infinite topics, but we are 00:47:05.010 --> 00:47:07.230 limited. Not about journalism. We are limited 00:47:07.230 --> 00:47:12.530 topics here. All right. Is that your podcast 00:47:12.530 --> 00:47:18.250 name? Limited topics. The opposite of mine. Censored 00:47:18.250 --> 00:47:25.139 topics. Anywho. But yeah, next week. We think 00:47:25.139 --> 00:47:27.940 we'll be able to see you. We should be. I hope 00:47:27.940 --> 00:47:30.619 so. We're so close. We have everything set up. 00:47:30.739 --> 00:47:32.679 It's just... We just need to work on the cameras 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:35.199 in a little bit. The lighting. And a fan. We 00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.599 need a fan. Oh, my God. So glad it's not hot 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.679 in here right now. And a bowl. Bowl. We need 00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:44.119 a shelf. Yeah. Harper Buys a shelf. Why do you 00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.360 guys... I literally just lost my job. It was 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.199 your idea. Oh, my God. Anyways. You guys have 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.079 a good rest of your evening. Thank you so much 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:54.599 for tuning into this episode of The Main Mic, 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.719 hosted by The Messenger.
