Hi, I'm Katie.

And I'm Erin. And you're listening to Rope Drop and Park Hop. I expected you to say, I'm Aaron. I don't know why. I feel like that's happened before. Oh, yes. But when it didn't come out of your mouth, I was like, wait a second. Wait, I'm first. No. But it confused me. Guys, we're in our studio, kind of, in our studio. Yeah. It's not done. We should probably take a picture, yeah.

Mm-hmm. Share it. Yeah. We might. It's a little, which we did a test recording already and it sounded fine, but it's a little echoey for us. Right. It's different than it sounded before, but it's not finished. So we will wait and see if that

changes when it's officially open. We came in this morning and we had gotten a confirmation email

yesterday that we had a reservation today. So we thought, okay, we'll just come try it. It sounds like they're okay with us coming. We'll pivot if we need to. Yeah, we walked in this morning and they said, how can we help you? As usual, per the norm. What are you doing here? Who are you? We've never seen you before. We said, are we allowed to go in the podcast studio? And they both said, um, no. Then Aaron said, well, we, you know, have reservations and you approved them. And he said, well,

let's go take a look at it. And we walked up here and he was showing us around and he goes, well,

the recording equipment is there. If you guys want to just test it out. And we're like, okay,

we will test it out. So here we are. And apparently they're supposed to have their inspection today.

And so he's like, so it's done, but it's just got to be, everything has to be moved back in.

Right. It's missing all the furniture. Well, we've got two chairs.

Yeah. But supposedly they're getting new furniture.

Right. But apparently they didn't ask for our opinion on it, so we don't know what that is. We got, okay, we've told you about the foam walls before that people pick at. Those are gone. And this is, I mean. It's sleek. It is, oh, it's not very sturdy. It's sound dampening. I think it's supposed to be like that, though. You know how like on a speaker. Gives gives a little bit? Okay. And it's not giving everywhere. It's just in the middle. Okay. Anyway, it's those nice, like, sleek sound tile type. It's felt, I would say, is the material. Like a really, really dense felt? Mm-hmm. But it's pretty.

So they've got one wall is black and the rest of the walls are gray and they've got some little

modern looking lines in them.

There's your tour.

There's a door on one side that is not finished.

So we are hoping that that's why it's a little echoy.

So here's a fun story.

On the other side of that door is an elevator shaft.
