The Limit Does Not Exist is a production of My Heart Radiom. Hey, I'm Christina Wallace and I'm Kate Scott Campbell and you're listening to The Limit does Not Exist, a podcast for human then diagrams, coming at you every single week and hosted by us in this time that is well indescribable. We are here with another C and C episode. It feels right to us to check in with you and each other as much as we can as we navigate this continually changing landscape and try to find some safety insanity. Today we'll share updates from our lives, including a socially distant fight I got into while trying to find my zen and how I finally got back to my roots and also took care of them. It's all about how we're funding balance in a little breathing room amidst the chaos, and how we're staying connected to the real world and creating actual change through the Internet. So Christina, let's just jump in, shall we? Let's do it? Hi? Christina, Hi, Kate, how are you well. I got into a fight with two runners yesterday. Oh my gosh, I saw your tweet, so you know I am trying to be responsible I am socially distancing. I'm staying inside except for absolutely necessary. But I need exercise. I have to walk. I can't just do laps of my six square foot apartment. So once a day, I strap on the baby and we take a walk in Prospect Park. And we have this great little two mile loop that I have discovered that's like all all these like off the beaten path trails, like I do not go in the high trafficked areas. I have like this perfect loop that keeps me away from other people. I'm supposed the Prospect Park is open that you can, so keep this up. As the weather gets nicer and they're going to be shutting down the parks, I promise you. I try to go when it's raining, when it's cold. I picked the worst time of the day in order to keep the people down right, I'm doing my part. I love that yourself care is also self sacrifice. That feels so right for right now. So Arden is on my my front. We're walking through and we're stopped at a stoplight where like we have to cross one more street to get into the park, and you know, this is a pretty big roadway area, and so there's like multiple islands as you like split up the lanes, and of course you're not waiting for the actual light to change, You're just waiting for the cars get out of the way and jaywalking because right, so like you run across one lane and you hang out in an island, then you wait for the next side and you run right. There's not a ton of space on the island, is the point of this very long introduction. So I'm standing. I've kept my distance on both sides from everyone. But as I'm standing there, my sister calls and I go to answer the phone, and these two runners come up and they stand right next to me. The woman's shoulder touches my shoulder, and I know that feels like overreaction, Kate, but like, I haven't been touched by a stranger in weeks, and it felt it felt like she was just like Viola. It does not feel like an overreaction. It feels like a total violation in the midst of a global crisis of And she and her friend were not wearing masks. They were panting heavily because they're running. I'm wearing a mask, but my baby is not. She's five months old. She's not going to tolerate a mask, and they are absolutely breathing in my baby space and I lost my ish. Yes, Mama, the six ft applies to you. They start running across the street and they turn around realizing they've just been yelled at, and they can't figure out who just yelled at them because I'm wearing a mask and I have a five month old strap to my front and I look adorable, And so I use my forehead muscles because I have not had botox and I have very expressive forehead us to demonstrate to them that I am the one upset with them because they can't figure out who they have wronged, and so I let them cross the street. It put me in a mood. I had to shake it off, and then I came home and wrote a very angry tweet. I really appreciated your tweet. It was angry and also very concise and impactful. I was just like, what part of six ft does not apply to you? Like you're still a human being, you still are spewing droplets? Six Absolutely absolutely, I don't know what it is, but I absolutely support you in the reaction that you had and for Arden to see her mom standing up for her like a total badass. You know. I was just Oh, I ended my tweet with something like by God, I will end you and or and I think it was that. I was like, it's like, I swear to God I will And that is absolutely the like fire burning in my my soul that I felt in that moment. It was rage. It was it was primal, it was to the core. It was nothing less than all of those things. We can't hike in l A. The hikes have been closed for a long time, and people are of course violating that. I will not be one of those people, because this is not the time to do that. So I have just been like walking around the neighborhood. And first of all, it's really difficult to walk at the speed that I usually like to walk with a mask on. So I'm impressed that you're able to. So I'm full on, like mouth breathing, panting behind this mask, and when I get home, I like have to wipe down my face. You know, it's going to be interesting. Typically in a recession, lipstick sales go through the roof because people can't afford to buy anything else, and so they're like, well, I'll treat myself to this dollar lipstick because I can't buy a new dress and new pair of shoes, a trip whatever. It will be interesting because in a recession, while everyone is wearing a mask, no one's going to buy lipstick. What's the new lipstick? Is it eyeliner? It's so true. I don't know the color touch up. Yes, anyway, you were walking and you don't like the masks. I took you off your story with me. It was just that something about that. You know, people have been pretty good here, but it has been very, very crowded in the neighborhood, and some people are better than others. It's just that's the truth. I'm reaching that point where I'm about to scream at strangers of like, what part of the news are you not watching? I know, I know. I have a friend who openly screamed at someone the other day. She's like, I just lost it. She's a cancer survivor. She understands immunity. She's like, do your part, so are you deep breaths. I'm I'm hanging in there. I am, you know. I mean again, that question, of course, is becoming more and more impossible to answer. But I'm hanging in there. I got my roots touched up, which was exciting. Yeah, so you know, it was such a wonderful way to also support my salon because my salon, Lucas Salon in Los Angeles, lovely little spot. They put together these really thoughtful color kits for everybody with their you need your formula specific. Yeah, with my specific formula spoiler alert, I get a little help for this color. The woman who runs the salon just quarantined herself in the salon. She had a mask and gloves on. She took all of the kind of formulas from the other colorist and then you were given a time and you drove up and then there was a whole exchange where she was there. I paid through Venmo. She left it out on a table outside and then I was able to drive away and then my wonderful hair stylist I picked it up on a Saturday afternoon and I planned to do it the next Sunday morning, and he texts me. He's like, Okay, you have to do it in twelve hours because color oxidizes, And I was like chemistry, right, oh my god. So at this point it's like late on Saturday, you gotta do it. I gotta do it. I was super tired, and then I watched they put together this wonderful little tutorial video which I watched and was like, oh, I shouldn't be drinking wine while I do this. This actually is more involved than I had given Brian credit for. But Brian, my colorist, was just like texting me back. He was like drinking his boyfriend's sake. He was sending me The sassist text was a hilarious and I was like, if I still have hair on my head after this, it will be a miracle. But if I don't, whatever, I'll rock that. I'll just put on some statement earrings and It'll be fine. So I got through. Yeah, I'm so proud of you. I mean, it's important for your roots to look grate. You're doing a lot of Instagram video these days. Tell me, tell me what inspired this, and tell our listeners about the night light show I am. It's called night Light yes, which I always caveat by saying it sounds a little bit like a Christian radio show, which it is not. You know, Christina h just this kind of idea came to me a weekend ago of just you know, I don't know, it feels like it's like the most kind of core idea to me, it kind of feels like going back to the youngest version of me, who was always just like putting on little skits and things in my living room when I was a kid, And it sort of came from an intention to provide a warm glow. And that is like intentionally broad, right, because that could look like anything from day to day, but just kind of like this little safe harbor in the sea of digital chaos, sort of by sharing some like truly analog pieces of inspiration and entertainment. So that's looked like anything from reading poems I always like to play a little bit of music, to talking about Rilka's exploration of sadness, to unboxing the Johnny Depp box that my love drenched psychotic thirteen year old self put together years ago. Don't forget the readings from You've Got Mail. Those were my favorite. You've Got Mail is my chicken soup movie. I've probably watched it, I don't know, like a hundred plus times at this point. It always provides me comfort and fun. Fact, when I was in grad school, my m F a classmate Kyle, I wrote this like little short piece of theater that reference You've Got Mail, and he came up afterwards and he was like, I love that movie and I was like, what you you who writes like very good raps and like you're You're like you're just like you love Nora Ephron, you know, and we kind of bonded about this. So I was like, hey, Kyle, will you come on and read every email from You've Got Mail with me? Which I curated online. It's actually very difficult to find them because there's a lot of incorrect scripts out there, and so I was like writing in lines from my memory. But anyway, we got on and we read the emails, and what was so lovely is that a bunch of Kyle's friends tuned in and one of them is a doctor in New York on the front line, and he wrote in and said, this is the thing that provided me the levity that I needed to be able to return to my shift. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So, Christina, it's like this idea that I had that it's eclectic on purpose, It's largely extemporaneous on purpose. The only rule that I have is that whatever I share has to be something that I just love and really want to share and to invite friends on who want to do the same thing. I didn't even know if people were going to come and watch, but the fact that they have and they've kept coming, it's just really goes to show. I think that if I were to have set out and be like, I'm going to do this variety show, we Knight it's on Instagram, which, by the way, the only reason I'm calling it a variety show is because my friend Spencer, who we've both worked with, was like, Kate, it's like kind of turning into a variety show. I was like, yeah, I guess it is. But if I had set out to be like, I'm going to do this thing that's gonna make people feel better and it's going to effect in this piece of art like a it probably wouldn't have happened and be it would have felt contrived. And so that's it. I'm doing that every night, and really it's a way for me to connect with my friends and hopefully the truest way that I can do that through a screen right now. And it's also just giving me a little bit of a lifeline because I love doing things live and that's a way to do that now. Gandhi said, that even a single lamp to spells the deepest darkness. And hopefully this is a tiny, tiny way to bring a little Dandhi into my day. Quoting Gandhi, I like it uting Gandhi, so Christina and I would say a much more seemingly organized front. You have been affecting some real change here or trying for sure. Organized is how I deal with anxiety. You know this, We've talked about this. When in doubt clean it out. It's uh, you know I've I've cleaned my apartment from top to bottom. I conduct everything within an inch of its condoing ability, and uh, and that got me through like the first six days, Christina, I was thinking about my version of that phrase, and what I came up with is when it feels too big, put on a wig. That's what I got. I gotta love it. I love it. I got to this point, I don't know, like a week and a half ago. A bunch of my projects are on hold or kind of got postponed. And definitely I have this new awesome full time job starting but until July, and I've got a little bit of time on my hands and certainly taking care of a baby and cleaning my apartment and baking all sorts of baked goods, so many baked goods, lots of baked goods. That certainly does take up time, But I felt like, I'm an organizer. I'm someone who likes to connect people and networks and like solve big problems, and I wanted to do something. I literally, like kind of said that out loud and put it out into the universe. And at four am the next day, because I wake up at four am to pump for my baby every night, at four am, I was pumping breast milk and got an email from one of my husband's college friends who is a doctor on the front lines here in New York, and she said, Hey, do you know where I could get tablet computers for patients to say goodbye to their families because we aren't allowing loved ones in hospitals anymore. It's too dangerous. They're too crowded. So these people who are dying of COVID nineteen are dying alone and in many cases are not able to say goodbye because when they get dropped off at the hospital up to two weeks earlier, they didn't know that this is how this was going to turn out and just got wrenching, I know. And she's like, do you know how to convince rich people to give money? Because that's not a skill I learned in medical school. And I was like, actually, fun fact, I do know how to do that, I said, And you know, one of my friends actually just got this exact same request from a nurse at a different hospital just yesterday. Let me paying her and see if we can team up and try to solve this for more than just the two of you, because if two of you are asking, then probably every hospital could use this. Yes, So we sinked up the next day. We ended up pulling in like four other female executives from the tech world in New York and San Francisco, and within under a week, in six days, we got a go fund me up. We've raised over a hundred thousand dollars. Our goal is a million. It's incredible. We have over a hundred hospitals already on our lists with requests for tablets, including most of the public hospitals in New York, a lot of the really kind of safety net institutions that don't have the fancy buildings and don't do the galas with big name donors and could really use this type of support. So we are trying to get twenty thousand tablets and smart devices into hospitals across the whole country, fifteen per hospital. We're kind of bundling them up. One of the executives has a company called Lupin Tie that they do corporate gifting, but that means they have a whole warehouse, they have logistics support, they can ship things, So we're using their entire back end to receive, bundle, and ship out these devices to hospitals all across the country. It's amazing, and it's called COVID tech connect right it is. This is in many cases how patients will say goodbye to their families. But we're hoping that being able to stay connected to their families might actually be that little bit of I don't know, spirit muster that keeps them fighting. I mean, imagine being isolated for up to fourteen days, not just in your apartment with your dog and your comfy slippers and your food, but in a hospital room with strangers bustling all around you. You can't see their faces because everyone's covered head to toe in protective equipment. You know you're not touching other people's hands, you can't speak to your your family members, and then being on the verge of like am I going to make it through the night or not? I can see how it's really easy to lose spirit in that moment. So we're hoping that at the very least it's a way to say goodbye I, but maybe at the very best, it's a way to revive, um, you know, a spirit and keep someone fighting to get out and to make it through. Absolutely, it's incredibly depressing and it makes me cry a lot, but it um it feels good to know that we are able to use our network and the things that we're good at getting rich people and corporations and not so rich people. I mean a lot of our donors to go fund me are are giving ten bucks twenty bucks, which is just awesome, you know, harnessing the collective power of everyone feeling like they want to do something and this is a really tangible something that you can do. I think it's really remarkable, especially since we've all been learning about learning in real time about how crucial connection is for all of us, and we are learning how to do that through screens, which is a learning curve for some more than others, but it's essential. And another thing, Christina, I was just thinking about you being able to self identify that you are such a strong organizer and kind of tapping into that. Over Here on the flip side, I just sort of found myself going like, what is the thing, What is a thing about me that feels really like unique to me? That's the thing that feels like if I could contribute, it's in this way. And I just had to sort of start to listen to friends who were telling me like, hey, you bring me so much light or I find you so entertaining. I didn't feel like a light or feel like entertaining. In fact, I've just been you know, like feeling the weight of all of this. But I kind of went, all right, well, let me just like do that, let me sort of tap into that. And so, because I think there's just this big question right now, what can I do? What can I do? And of course there's so many things to do, but I think it's also a helpful question to think about what can I do that feels like maybe not only I can do, but that is really sort of singular or specific to me. And and usually I think that that thing is also the thing that lights you up. And when it lights you up, you'll light everyone up for sure, because I think on the one hand, you feel like staying at home you're doing nothing right. And then on the other hand, you start looking for ways to contribute, and you start seeing the list of needs and the fundraisers and the and and it just starts. It can feel overwhelming, right, there's just sort of like, well, everyone needs everything, and if I'm not helping everyone, is that selfish? Is there anything left for me? It was a great vice article about creating a care budget. Yes, I love that you found this. Yeah, so Girls Night In is this incredible community. I love them that has been focused on self care and alone time quality alone time and they send out this wonderful newsletter. You should totally subscribe if you're into that. But they recently just sent us this really great framework for how to think about taking care of yourself, taking care of your family and friends, and then contributing in whatever way you can to your community without feeling overwhelmed. Yeah. It was kind of like this little time package of resources right without without feeling overwhelmed. Yeah, so I thought this idea of like a care budget which is not just money but also time and also just like psyche right, your attention, your emotional bandwidth of really thinking about who can you support each day? What do you need to support yourself? What do you need sleep wise, nutrition, alone, time to make sure you're fully charged and capable of doing what you need to do, and then like, what can you do to ensure you're doing the best job you can For those of us and still employed while recognizing that we are not working from home, we are at home in a crisis attempting to work. As a great tweet that has now gone viral many times, that tweet, it's such an important distinction, it really is, It really is. So it was just a really nice way of thinking about I think the way you said it, like what is the thing that lights me up that I uniquely can contribute, whether that's sewing masks, donating money, organizing time, amplifying other people's projects. Right, if you've got a large audience on social media or in other ways, can you curate some of the efforts that are going on and really help make them more visible? What are the things that you can contribute? And maybe it's just you know, baking some bread, and taking them to your neighbors in a socially distant way. I actually think that a great place to start. What you just touched on is what would make me feel better right now? And is that something that then I could share with a few people right Like, so, say, baking makes me feel really good? Who could I share that with? Or like supporting someone feels really good? All right? Well, then who are a few people that I could support? Something else that you just made me think of is that there's just a lot of layers right now, the primary layer being that we are in a crisis collectively and then individually. There's so many layers on top of that. Do you have work? Are you looking for work? What is your family need? What is your partner if you have one need? What are your children if you have them need? And there's a lot of recalibrating and something that I've been kind of noticing has been happening this week. I don't know if you feel this or not, but I've just almost been feeling all of the speed that was sort of there before all of this happened. I felt it really sort of coming back on top of all of the new things that this pandemic is bringing with it, and that together is just overwhelming. And so I think finding a way to sort of take a pause just long enough, just long enough to kind of find a little space within all of the responsibility to check in and game plan a little bit. Like I love in this article Christina about a care budget. I love that there's this. They sort of do the sample version that's broken up into a few sections of things I can do right now or once, and that the first thing is figure out how to get my prescriptions filled. I love it. The first thing is a self care thing, like are your prescriptions there? Help my grandparents set up Skype? I mean, I know that my family will help my parents get on Zoom this week, and that was awesome. And then what are things I can do daily? Again, the first thing is eat three proper meals? Am I eating right? And then down the list check in with friends individually? What can to do a few times a week weekly? So I do think it's beneficial to, like anything that needs to be tackled, to do a little bit of strategizing here. I do feel a little bit of that speed coming back. In New York, we have had a couple of good days in a row in terms of the numbers, and there's some people wondering is the curve flattening? Is there a light at the end of this tunnel? And you can see people starting to think about like are we going to be allowed out at the end of April, at the end of May, and like when can we fly again? You know, like things are just starting to like steamroll again. And in the meantime, there's a whole bunch of other people, especially people with children, that are like, no, it's getting worse. This is a harder week than the first one. That's right. You can't just assume because people have stopped talking about how hard it is that it has gotten easier or that we've gotten into some routine, right, So they're just it feels like a lot of competing energy as people are trying to suss out like what does this mean long term? When are we getting back to quote normal spoil alert? We aren't like ever, right, Like maybe according to Austrian Airlines and you know some study they just did, so like be prepared for this to not be normal for a very long time. Yeah, And I think it's fine for it to take time to find your footing. There are whole new sort of structures and systems sort of coming into place right now. And what we know is that speed for speed's sake, going fast for the sake of going fast is not the sustainable thing. It's like taking time to pause. How can you kind of work on your own systems, which are going to be completely different from anybody else's, to just sort of find a little bit of I wouldn't say like routine at all, and that can be thrown out, that's fine, but to just sort of find a little bit of peace. Because the other thing, Christina, is that there's so much inful stuff happening online. Being online is such an easy way to be comparing yourself to everyone else, right And so, oh my gosh, this person just did a Facebook live stream, So why am I need to do a Facebook live stream? And this person just put a class together in twenty four hours, so I should be putting a digital class together in twenty four hours. I literally can't be on Instagram without a little pop up saying this person is gone live. This person is gone live. I was like, can you stop going live? I know, I love like when I get annoyed by that, and I'm like, oh my god, but I'm going live night. It's a week. One of the reasons why I decided to do it at eight p m PST every night is that I'm like, this is what I'm doing, and if friends of mine want to see me, they know that they can come, then they don't have to be on here at any other time. I'm not gonna be like popping up live like truly. And also it's going back to the intention of well, why am I really doing this versus I'm going because I gotta go live. We all got to go live, I mean, for good or for bad. Right now, online is our interface with the rest of the world. And what's interesting about that is so of the six women working on COVID Tech Connect, I know one of them in real life, like one of them I have hugged and touched and had meals with and hung out with in real life. And the other four I know solely through the list through a professional women's network I'm part of. And we've done this entire project from all these different states, all these different time zones, and we've done it all through the Internet, through Zoom and Google Drive and Slack and WhatsApp group. Right. It made me laugh the other day when I thought about how, for a very long time our generation has been sort of, you know, pejoratively judged for quote slack activism. Can you tell me what that term? Me? Yeah, So it's our parents and our grandparents generation. They look at the marches, the protests, the wars that they have fought, and then they look at us retweeting hashtags from our sofa and they're like, so, the thing is online outrage does not actually mean things change. So slack activism was a term created probably about a decade ago to talk about kind of the online hashtagging and outrage amplification that doesn't turn into real action. It's kind of the perfect term for that, it is. But what's ironic about that is right now, when we can't march, and we can't show up at our elected officials in town halls, and we can't leave our our sofa's, for the most part, we're using slack and a bunch of other online tools to actually organize and activate, you know, real change. Our generations the one comfortable with all of these tools and you know, native with this, and I don't know, I feel like let's redefine slacktivism with a positive light because we're getting things done. I love it. You know, it just goes to show you never know, right, Like, we never really know what something is or how it's going to be used as a tool. We can make guesses even hypotheses about it, but we never know what's really going to be there and come into place. And I'm so struck by that to Christina. I mean, I remember five years ago when I was trying to convince tutoring clients of mine to do online tutoring with me because I wanted them to be able to get a depth at that in case I was going to go away and do a play. And I remember it was kind of like, this is strange, no one is doing this. Why are you doing this? And now I am so happy that I spent the time then this is pre Zoom, by the way, but spent the time then to figure out, oh, I can get a little writing pad with a stylist to be able to do this online and and how how can I really like make this efficient? And now here we are, And happily Zoom has a whiteboard in its functionality. But here we are, and so if it can give this in our community of the show any comfort in that those things that may seem weird even superfluous, may become very valuable at some point, Like keep going in those directions. I love that the number of dance parties that seem to be popping up between Instagram and Zoom and I mean, now there are whole clubs that I'm not being invited to. Have you heard about this stage you can get like private Zoom rooms. You have to pay for quote table service. There's no table, there's no service. You're not getting alcohol. You're just getting an elite experience, an exclusive experience that people are paying actual real No. I cannot, I cannot. That could not be less me if it tried. I just love that I'm even being excluded during the pandemic. It's just so on brand for But it just goes to show like this is what I'm talking about, is very easy for things to kind of go dormant for a while and then just like map right over to new circumstances. And so I'm just trying to be very very sensitive to that. No, the one that I've heard of is that one of my good friends has a birthday this Friday, and she's doing something called Get Down and Give, where she's doing a dance party on Zoom, but you'll also be donating to a charity for her birthday. And I was like, that's such a cute idea, very cute. But Christina, You've also found a number of really incredible applications of selectivism recently in my new definition of it. Yeah, So, I mean, it's just it goes to show how right now, especially when online is our interface with the world, there are some really incredible ways to make a real difference in a lot of people's lives. So there's one the journalist Yasha Ali got started on go fund me for hourly tipped workers, who obviously are some of the folks that have been hit the hardest by all of us leaving restaurants, leaving cabs and you know, retreating to our sofas. And he started this go fund me and then he has been tweeting it, sharing it with his friends, getting challenge grants, you know, getting a lot of people to step up, and has been really kind of persistent in making sure people remember that there's an entire community of workers who literally aren't getting paid right now, and yes, maybe they'll get a check at some point from the U. S. Government, but like, they need food this week, and he's raised over a million dollars this go fund me purely through tweeting. And I don't want that to sound small, because he's really been hustling for this and making sure that people know just how important this is. So I think that's a perfect example of SLA activism at its finest. But there are a few others will link to as well. There's one incredible small business owner, Deepti Sharma, has a company called Food to Eat and pre Pandemic. It was a company that companies could hire to cater their lunches for their employees, and she would partner with women own immigrant owned small restaurants and pile all of these orders together and deliver really delicious food. And then of course if no one's working in offices, there's no business for her. That means no business for these small mom and pop restaurants that had come to depend on her. So she pivoted her business model to really focus on how do we feed frontline workers, how do we feed like who does still need to be fed? And how can we use the infrastructure right, the relationships that I already have set up with these restaurants and get food to those folks, and because those folks are not the ones who are necessarily able to pay right now, putting together fundraisers to help support that as well. So it's really smart ways of people saying what's the thing that I can do and how can I apply that in this particular setting for a population that's at risk and that needs by hope. And I think these are are great examples of what you can do from the Internet to make a real tangible difference in a lot of people's lives right now. Yeah, Christina, that's incredible. And back on the Zoom front, and I'm reminded of that David Rabe play in the Boom Boom Room. It makes me want to just to rename it in the Zoom Zoom Room, because you know, so many different theaters and arts organizations are really starting to use Zoom to do live readings and things like that. In fact, there's this Fast Company article that talks about Theater Unleashed, which is a Los Angeles based theater company and a number of different artists who are able to keep things that really sustain their organization like mon the reading series, or even musicians who are able to give lessons via Zoom and sort of stay afloat that way. And I know, for me, I'm a part of three upcoming readings, and the functionality on Zoom for being able to have the audience sort of wait outside and then be watching versus being on stage and then sort of be brought in for the talk back portion is pretty incredible. Yeah, it really is. There's a lot of like thoughtful functionality there that's already in place. And not to mention educational organizations, Oh my gosh, I know that so many schools are using Zoom, but also in Los Angeles specifically nonprofits like l A which provides after school tutoring young storytellers, which provides writing mentorship. The fact that these online platforms are helping these organizations continue to keep going is is really remarkable. It really is. So I gotta tell you my favorite application of Zoom please. Recently, so John Krasinski has a fantabulous fake news broadcast called Some Good News and it is a delightful show. It is. It's fantastic. My friend sent me episode two. There's a pretty wonderful Easter egg in the second half of the second episode. I'm not going to tell you what it is. You have to go watch it. I was about to spoil it. Yeah, well I'm you're better than I am. So she sent me this and she's like, Oh, you're gonna like this. It was relevant to a joke that we had had going on about choir and saying choir over zoom. I was like, what, I don't know what she's talking about. But I just started watching the episode and it was such a delight The good news truly is good news. I was grinning like an idiot, and then the easter egg pops up and made it even more delightful. So I have now subscribed to some good News and I'm going to watch it as much as I can because it is truly my favorite use of zoom right now. I agree that is a delightful watch, highly recommended.
