I'm Grace and I'm Becca and we're so excited that you're listening.

I can't believe you're listening. Actually if you're listening to this it means we got it right on our first try which would be shocking.

We had the hardest time setting this up. We the equipment we didn't have a memory card then we got the wrong microphones.

So if you're listening we made it. And if you don't hear this one I guess better look next time to us. We'll figure it out.

Or maybe we just threw this one in the trash. Okay. So Grace who are you?

So you guys might know me because of my blog the stripe. I have been running a lifestyle blog over there for the past eight years and I worked with Becca over at Bobblebar.

And I'm Becca. I head marketing for a company called Lola which is a subscription service for organic period products.

And I'm also a person that likes really bad books so I'm really happy to have an outlet for that. We love bad books.

I think that we're just using this podcast to justify our love of bad books. So thank you for giving us permission.

Yeah bad books are good. The weirdest part of this podcast is that Grace is just staring deeply into my eyes.

We've got to figure this out. We'll get better. Stick with us. Say with us.

So I bet people are wondering how we know each other. So you said that we know each other from Bobblebar.

We do. And when I first met Becca, I did not like her at all. I thought she was super bossy and kind of mean.

So to Grace's credit, I am very bossy. She just likes me now. And I think you're also a little mean still.

But you've realized I'm a little bit mean too.

Yeah, I think this is a really common trend with me. So I think most of my best friends didn't like me when they first met me.

So I don't know what that says about me as a person. But I grow on you.

Yeah, you're in acquired taste. You're like a fine line. You get better and better and better.

Or worse, who knows? Like this podcast is going to get better guys.

I feel like we're like gaslighting everyone. We're like, maybe it's not that bad right now.

So, but so Grace started to like me. And she liked me so much that we actually had to be separated multiple times at our office.

We sat next to each other and our founders would would be like, we need a different seating plan because Grace and Becca can't sit next to each other because we had.
