Welcome to call your girlfriend a podcast for long distance besties everywhere. We're Amina too. An Ann. Hello. Can you hear me? Hello?

We talk about current events

We talk about current events friendship

Beyonce and politics pretty much in that order. Um, and we have an agenda we have we have sort of an agenda that we used to set or maybe we still do set for our personal check-in calls

And we've just like made it the agenda for this podcast save for a few deletions for to preserve our privacy.

Yes, privacy is very important to us. It wouldn't appear that way, but it is.

In this era of like high-snoded bullshit, it's very important. Are you one of those people who has a piece of tape over the camera on your laptop?

100% I donate to the EFF and of course. I don't have one, but I just relish being like extra gross in front of it.

I mean, I have it mostly because I don't want any of my friends to see me doing dumb shit. Not like if the NSA wants to hack into this computer, God bless.

Right. Godspeed. So we are like extra well not extra long distance slightly extra long distance this time because I am in London and you are in New York.

Yeah, how's London going? Let me tell you it is gray. Um, I know I should have been like having a, I don't know, like a heat wave. I think it was like 71 degrees. What's going on?

It was sunny for like two days in a row, but that was kind of an aberration. But here's what I don't understand. It's like there's not, I feel like if I lived here permanently, I would be obsessed with things that made me feel like it was sunny and warm.

So all these like cafes have sandwich boards outside that say come in it's sunny inside. And it's like actually you're playing radio head and your Wi-Fi doesn't work. That is not my definition of sunny inside.

Oh my God. Um, Wi-Fi also doesn't work in Brooklyn. I don't know what to tell you. I keep saying this to people and I feel that somebody's going to get mad at me. But it's true. I was like, I have lived in Sudan and we had better Wi-Fi than we have in like South Brooklyn. I don't understand.

When I say the internet is bad here, I mean, it's not as bad as Brooklyn. Nothing is worse than Wi-Fi in Brooklyn.

Thank you for acknowledging that. I've been around the world and nothing is worse than the Wi-Fi in Brooklyn.

It's just a snow work. We should get you a sat phone or something.

I'm just, yeah, I've just like given up. I don't know what's going on in the world anymore because there is just bad Wi-Fi.

Anyway, um, well I have a little bit of news. I'm moving to San Francisco.

I, okay, I confess. I learned this before we recorded this podcast. However, I will express to you in person again.

Like, both how proud I am of you because you're moving for an incredible new job. But also my shock because I never thought you would be on the west coast with me.

You know, so here are my feelings about this. I am obviously like excited about my new job. I am very trepidacious about my new location.
