100 episodes.

Dude.

In some ways, it feels like we should have 500 episodes.

It does. It does. some ways it feels like we should have 500 episodes it does right the amount of work that goes in i have to say though i don't have as many gray hairs as i thought i would have by the time we hit 100

so i think that that's that's you know testament to our endurance also to like, at some point we figured out how to do it and not die in the process.

Although it's funny, I was going back through old transcripts to pull some of our favorite clips for this episode.

And your notes to me were clearly notes from a stranger. It was like, Alicia, yet another

great interview. Here are some things I would change for next time. We're like, now the feedback's

just like, you know, you got to do this differently the next time. The courtship phase versus the marriage phase.

Agreed.

Agreed.

I think that that's part of what makes the show so good and so relatable.

It was about a year ago that we told everybody that we had hit the big 100,000 download marker.

And we were freaking out. That was amazing.

And then very casually, like three weeks ago, we hit 600,000. And I text you. And then something said, well, check that. And I went back to when I had

sent, when we had sent out the 100,000 email. And I was like, no way. We got half a million

listeners in the same amount of time. No way. And then I just, I was floating, honestly, I was floating.

It is wild for me as someone who has spent so much time chasing video and television

as a primary form that this podcast is the place where I have finally found and been able to build the

community that I have been seeking out in the 15 years since I graduated college.

Amen. Totally agree. So thank you for finding us. Thank you for showing up week after week. Thank you for sharing us with the people in your life. I can't tell you the joy it brings us. How grateful we are and how grateful I am to now be a part of your lives.

This is the beauty.
