I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Okay, so I actually haven't done a podcast a little while because I was on vacation.

So what happened was Rachel graduated. I graduated. Rachel finished her junior year.

And so normally, or as we did last year,

Rachel and I went down to VidCon. I did a podcast on this last year on the 2016 VidCon.

But this year was a little bit different. Now we did we go to VidCon, which I will talk about

today. But because she's a junior and going to become a senior,

and when you're a senior, you've got to apply to colleges. We decided to turn our trip into VidCon

to expand it a little bit and make it a college visiting trip. So what we did was we picked

eight colleges, the University of San Diego, the University of California, San Diego, which are completely different colleges, UCLA, USC, CSU Long Beach, UC Irvine, CSU Fullerton, and Chapman University.

So we picked, it's based on a bunch of different criteria,

you know, based on sort of different things Rachel wanted.

She's going to communication, so some of this was going to places that had good

communications and, or she's interesting communication.

Anyway, so I actually came up with an idea that actually worked really well, which is,

originally we were trying to book like official tours, but I picked a really poor time to go to the colleges from that respect because I was hitting right

around when people were like literally either people were just graduating or just you

know graduated a few days earlier so everyone was kind of the colleges were a little more

shut down to sort of segue between the normal school year and the summer session and so I was only able to get just a handful

of colleges that were able to give me a tour. So I said, okay, well, what if, is there

another way to get a tour? And I came up with a pretty cool idea. So I went on my social media

and I said, hey, we're going to visit these colleges. would anybody like to show us around?
