15 weeks? One out of 15 -ish, yeah. So sorry
we didn't get to you last week. We did not really,
we didn't have much going on then. And on top
of that, we were trying to figure it out because
we're going to present to you upcoming and official
sports podcast. We don't have a title for it.
as of right now, but we do have some potential
podcast hosts for you guys. So go and look out
for that in the upcoming weeks. We're rebranding.
We're getting new logos. We're getting new intros.
We're getting new pretty much everything. And
we're really excited to step further into this
podcast with you guys. Especially since it's
our last season here. You gotta make it count.
We want to go out with a bang We want to make
it the best for you guys But yeah, no Mackenzie
how have you been like how has your break been
you like starting the new semester like Well,
this will be a very easy semester. I only have
one class and I've already taken it before so
which class is it mass media and society Nice
nice nice, which teacher is it? I don't remember
her name. Gretchen? Scholt? I think that's her
name. I don't know why I remember her first name.
I'm pretty sure it's Mary. Oh, gotcha. Well,
yeah, no. I think all three of us are all here
writing on one class. Zach, are you also one
class? Two. Zach has two classes. He's more studious
than we are. You are? Nice. But. Besides the
point, we're here and we're ready to show up
for you. But yeah. I don't know. Don't wanna
ask me how my break's been. Don't wanna ask me
how many classes I'm taking. You said one. Well
yeah, but like you don't ask me. How was your
break? It was great, it was amazing. I'm kidding.
But yeah, it was good, it was great. Missed the
podcast. I was like really anxious like Mackenzie.
Are you gonna be on the podcast? I Swear up until
like what two weeks ago before we had our meeting
last week. She was like, I don't know Yeah, I
was kind of in my a to so yeah my bad I'm back.
I'm still a little bit in my head because I'm
working too much But I am making it through we
only see her once a week now. It's so sad Yeah.
Sometimes you'll see me at the meetings. Unless
I have to work. Monday morning meetings. or see
me around recording. Hopefully. Mackenzie's doing
the media now. Social media reporter. Catch me
on the Instagram and hopefully the TikTok. I
don't know. Are you going to be reporting on
articles too or just like what's around campus?
Probably. I think I'll start to do like teasers
for the articles and then I recently did the
AI exhibit and then I also did the The the 250th
celebration for the US being a country Yeah,
there was a whole exhibit thing in the coal lab
happening, so I did that too, but right now Honestly,
I forgot what I was working on I'll figure it
out eventually. It's something about the Super
Bowl though Well, yeah Super Bowl is coming up.
It's in a week two weeks. Yeah, it's on the eighth
Right? It's on the what? The eighth? Yeah, so
as soon as this gets posted, assuming that we're
gonna post this on Friday per usual, Super Bowl's
gonna be in two days. Who's going to the Super
Bowl? Nice, I think. Not nice, it's not the cheese.
The bears. Are you a football fan at all? I'm
not a sports fan, which is ironic because I'm
gonna be not hosting but running a sports podcast
I'm completely leaving that up to them. I'm like,
hey guys So like the basketball season is coming
up Right. Can you talk about that? I mean March
Madness kind of stuff. Oh, yeah March Madness.
Yeah Well fingers crossed we have our sports
podcast. That'd be great. I mean We have a whole
month. We do have a whole month. It's a short
month, but it's black history month Hopefully
there's a lot Going on on campus for Black History
Month, but I'm really not sure. I heard that
BSU might be doing something. I did see something
on the events page. I was scrolling through it.
I did want to briefly mention that we do have
some basketball games coming up that are home
games for both men and women's. And then on top
of that, we have a couple of, oh my gosh, why
does it keep asking me to join the Wi -Fi? I've
been doing that to me too. Like literally every
single time. Just turn it off. Upcoming prior
to Valentine's Day, which is February 14th February
9th, which is this Saturday, I believe or This
Monday. Oh, right. Right. Right. Yeah. So this
Monday February 9th, we have a love is respect
week So it's Monday to Friday, I believe and
it's in the student lounge 154 GEB So that will
be going on the entire week. So in addition to
the love and respect week starting Monday, we
also have the Valentine's Day candy graham fundraiser
brought to you by the Honors Students Society.
They will have a table set up in the GEB and
you'll be able to create candy grahams, which
sounds really fun for Valentine's Day. there's
gonna definitely be a lot more Valentine's Day
themes popping up because of the holiday, of
course. And I know that's not the only thing
going down in Johnson County, because I know
I've seen a bunch of Friday the 13th girls' nights
going out. That actually sounds fun. I know,
because Valentine's Day is on a Saturday. True.
That's perfect for couples, at least. I know,
so... You can leave work on Friday, then have
the whole weekend with your spouse. Maybe I'll
celebrate with my husband. You go do that. You
go celebrate with your husband. I mean, hey,
