Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Do We Know Them? Episode 257, almost a 260. Indeed. I feel like 275s are next big milestone.

Then after that, 300. That's not real. Yeah. And then after 300, we need to stop. I mean, honestly, come on. I don't think we're allowed. That's, that won't be an option.

We can't reach 500 and still be counting.

The girlings will not be okay with that.

300 reminds me that I've been thinking a lot lately that I feel like we should start maybe

floating some of the potential nominees or categories for our next award show.

It's coming up so fast.

You know, it's still like five months away.

But I feel like given the amount of work it ended up being last time, I should start all of the little packages now. I agree with that. And then also, I go away for New Year's every year. So I'll be away again for New Year's. And I'm just scared. That was quite a treacherous situation. I didn't sleep for three days. Yeah. That was honestly a little traumatizing, but that's a good idea. The only thing is, is like new nominees could come in. So we got to figure out how to navigate that. The ones that are like, they're obviously going to be nominated. I could get those ones out of the way. Yeah, for sure. Not a bad idea. I know last year, though, we did get help from our patrons. So, I don't know. We'll figure out how that's going to work. We'll make it happen.

There's shoe-ins like the, I have a fear of books.

I know. I was not to say the guy who's scared of books. Yeah. I don't know what a word he's going to win. most afraid of books. I don't know, but he's going to win something. Him and Leah Michelle are the only two nominees.

Did you see what I sent in our group chat the other day? I sure did. Yeah, I had been sent that

multiple times. I feel like Leo Michelle and... Him and Leah Michelle are the only two nominees. Did you see what I sent in our group chat the other day?

I sure did. Yeah, I had been sent that multiple times. I feel like Leo Michelle and her fear of words is an important part of our story.

I was hopeful that she was going to finally accept it and lean into the meme and be funny about it.

And she started to, I don't remember what interview it was, but she was doing an interview and she started to, you're like, oh my God, she's being so self-aware.

This is great.

And then it turned into like, she was the first in her family to go to college. And I was like, I know, I saw that. I was like, come one. Please, let us have this. People don't really think you can't read. That's the funny far. I know. And not being able to read is not the funny part. Exactly. It's that it's just like the

stupidity that people have got like coincidences. That's the funny far. I know. And not being able to read is not the funny part. Exactly.

It's that it's just like the stupidity that people have got like coincidences of her like looking away from a book. It's very ironic. Like that. It's like, okay. It's just silly. We can't be silly on the internet anymore. Okay. Not allowed. I think I just caught a glimpse of my lash looking horrible. Hold on.

Me, the entire first year of our podcast.

My eyes are still a little swollen.
