Woohoo! Welcome to the summer call play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today.

0:04.4

It is freaking Tuesday and I'm pumped about that. Actually, we got home last night from our two-week trip

0:10.4

in California and Seattle and I'm just feeling the home endorphins. We are freaking home. How cool is this?

0:16.8

It feels so good and we also have a mic. So if you listened to our podcast last week, we broke our mic in travel

0:22.3

and we have a new one and it's great. I also think it's game-changing. We did a couple tests and I think the sound is way better.

0:27.6

Even though it's the same as that mic in the reason is because this morning we googled what settings should you use on a blue yeti mic

0:34.7

for a podcast and it said choose the one that looks like a butt. So we're using the butt setting and the butt setting works really well.

0:42.0

Butt stuff is the cure to all of our problems. This podcast is brought to you from our butts.

0:47.9

But actually my butt stuff. But actually my very scientific hypothesis is that the last mic was just as we talked about last week,

0:54.2

your computer is kind of covered in potato chip crumbs and I'm pretty sure this potato chip crumbs infiltrated the last mic

0:59.8

and so this mic is just it's brand new. There's no crumbs on it and I think it's why it's picking up the sound pretty well.

1:04.6

I do disagree. I do not use food anywhere near this mic. I don't know why I'm using food but apparently we have an interesting relationship.

1:11.8

There's food about 12 centimeters from where you're talking right now. I wish the podcast listeners could see that.

1:17.4

And I guess I do kind of just view it out when it comes out.

1:21.4

Because I was eating granola right before we got on this and didn't I fully digest it all but when we got home,

1:27.3

something was waiting here for me, which I had no idea. So right now I am rocking the coolest watch ever that Megan got me as a total surprise.

1:36.9

So I go through so much. Thank you. It's sexy as fuck and it actually measured my heart rate correctly on my run this morning.

1:42.6

This could be game changing even more important and measured your mileage.

1:46.8

So David for listeners out there, David was using my forerunner. I think it was the 930 XT, which was a garment that was created about 10 years ago.

1:54.4

It looked like a little like computer software program on your wrist and it started measuring horribly.

1:59.5

And it was like, David, it's time to get to a new one. But you compared it when you open the package this morning,

2:04.1

you're like, Megan, this feels like a Sega Genesis. You're like, this is at the level of excitement that I have right now.
