What's going on, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Vowl Files Ask Nick episode.

I'm your host, Nick, joined by my producer, Chrissy Chrissy, how you doing?

Guy, how are you? I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. You know, I always say we have special

episodes, but this one in particular, I am looking forward to Rachel Lindsey, my dear friend,

is joining us, and she's going to help us with the Ask Nick. She's always very good at giving

her thoughts and opinions on topics, and so she'll be joining us as well as, as I mentioned last week,

you know, talking about some of the recent events that's been out there, and specifically,

you know, just kind of some cultural questions, I guess, that is the way to talk about it,

and you know, try to share some insights. So again, we can all become, you know, more educated

on things. So how are you doing, Lindsey? Hi. Do you know me or not? I've had four cups of coffee.

How are you doing, Rachel? I'm good. Listen, I always tell people when you have two first names,

you just learn to go by both. It's just because that happened a lot. All the people call me Lindsey

all the time. I never correct them because that is my name. I'm the first time I've ever done that.

It's okay. It's okay. I wonder what you call me if you had five cups of coffee.

Brian wouldn't want to know. I'm good. I'm a little exhausted. I was going to say, like, it's

funny. I, the podcast where I shared my comments about Hannah came out last night, we're recording

this on Wednesday, and I feel exhausted just from like the response, the response has been, you know,

mostly positive. It's been, it, uh, but then I, and then I thought to myself this morning,

if I feel exhausted, I can only imagine what Rachel feels like. And quite honestly, other people

of color who I'm deal with this shit constantly, constantly. Um, I have to say what you said was

really great. I appreciate it. It was like everything you said, I was just like, yes,

uh, needed to hear it. And thank you for saying something. Thank you. Um, you know, it's fun.
