This is the MoPAD, the Made of Human Podcast. I am Sophie Hagen and it's my podcast.

And this episode is with Dane Baptiste and oh my God oh my God I to be honest

with you I didn't know what to expect I mean I've met Dane quite a few times we've kicked together

I think we've even been on like nights out together not like big party things but I got the comedians and social situations and stuff, but I didn't really know what to expect when I asked them to come and do the podcast. And mean I had to sit for a good two hours in silence afterwards

and just think I kept wanting to pause him and just try and swallow everything he just told me to kind of get a grip of everything.

He's like a machine it's he's so intelligent and and articulate and and I'm not

saying I'm surprised that he's intelligent not at all I just I just don't think I knew how

passionate he was about these things and that's on my you know that's I'm to blame

for that I should have I should have known and I feel bad that I haven't, I don't know, been

more invested in Dane Pepsi's personality I guess. I want to hang out with him forever now and I wish we could have kept talking for hours but

I needed to I needed to some time to think it over so there'll definitely be in episode too if he if you want to do that at some point

But yeah, look forward to that. It's it's intense. It's really intense, but I'm so excited about it, like so excited. So do look forward to that. Just a quick few admin things. I want to thank you so so much. Just, you know what, in general, I want to thank you for donating money per episodes over Patreon.com. You're my favorite people. It means more than you can imagine, more than you can imagine.

And I know I don't email all of you back because I am,

it's tremendously busy, but whenever I get an email saying that some of you have decided to give like $5 or $10 per episode, it warms my heart and I am so incredibly proud and happy so thank you and thank you for

coming to all of my live shows and and telling me afterwards that you love the podcast thank you for your emails

I'm trying to get back to them but but I mean, I'm sorry that I'm being shot when I'm emailing you back, but there's a lot of them.

And I'm not complaining, it's wonderful, and I love reading them and I read them over and over again, but know it means so much it means so much and I have to

say a lot of the people who email me I can see myself like I could I always

think oh those words could have been written by me had I not been me

so um so thank you it means a lot I feel like this

this podcast is really going places in terms of reaching people who needs to be reached so I'm very grateful for that.

Thank you.
