Drive-thrus, known for being lanes.

Famous for, best speaker boys.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why drive-thrus are secretly, incredibly fascinating. Fascinating.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode. A podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone. Sadie Dupuy

and Caitlin Durante are my guests today. Sadie is a writer. She has a new book of poetry

available for pre-order right now. It's called

Cry Perfume. It's out in October. I'll have links for that and for her book tour that's

supporting that. She's also a musician. You might know her as front person of the band

Speedy Ortiz or as front person of her band called Sad 13, all kinds of other music from there too.

And I've also enjoyed Sadie's appearances

as a funny podcast guest on a few different shows, including The Bechtelcast. And my other guest

today is the great Caitlin Durante, co-host of the Bechdelcast, a wonderful movie podcast on IHeart

Radio. She's also a returning guest to this show previously on episodes about

tires and about harbors. And she's a comedian, a screenwriter, a teacher. More info on

classes on screenwriting at her website, katelyndarante.com. Also, I've gathered all of our zip

codes and used internet resources like native-land.ca to acknowledge that I recorded this on the traditional

land of the Canarsi and Lanapi peoples. I acknowledged Sadie recorded this from Lenape Hoking,

the traditional land of the Lenny Lanopi people.

Acknowledge Caitlin recorded this on the traditional land of the Gabrielino Or Tongva and Kich

and Chewumash peoples,

and acknowledge that in all of our locations, native people are very much still here.
