What's up everybody? Welcome to kind of funny games daily for it. Tuesday September 20th, 2022. I'm one of your host Greg Miller alongside the unemployed but formerly man from fan by person.

It ladies and gentlemen is Nikki Grayson. Nikki, how are you?

Ayo, I'm good, you know, just vibing. That's as much as you can do right now. That's all I got. You know what I mean? It's been a week.

I was with mild neck pain and then you're like, well, I guess this is just the majority of my day today.

It's like we were talking about right. You like you wake up and just stare at the wall like, well, what do I do now? Yeah. What do I do now?

Nikki up until the dog. The rug was pulled out from under you last week. What were you doing in fan by?

I was the brand manager. So the the spiel that I liked to give people is I was in charge of the way the website looked felt and sounded.

I started out as social and like helped develop our social voice and then moved over to the overall kind of what is fan by side.

But then I was on podcasts and wrote reviews and news stuff sometimes and all of that.

Jack of all trades master of most of them, you know.

And so as we talked about yesterday with Danielle and if you're just joining us and miss this before this whole week we're bringing in cohosts because there's been a lot of layoffs in the games media side of the thing.

And so we're bringing in people and having them come in. And so last week you were just unceremoniously laid off correct.

I woke up on a Thursday started working normally HR was like, Hey, can you hop on a call? I was like, No, I have stuff to do until four. How long is this going to take?

They were like, Oh, spoiler alert. You don't have stuff to do. You don't have stuff to do.

I don't. And then they were like, Yeah, you're done. And then there's nothing worse than watching people disappear out of a slack.

It's like the leftovers. Who was that? Because that is that how it went. Love people were just popping off and you guys were like, wait a minute.

Disappearing. Yeah. And then we hopped into the discord that we have and we were like, Are we all getting fired? And then it was like, Yeah, we're all getting fired currently.

And then we all got fired. Yeah, it was great. Okay.

So now you've had a weekend to settle into this new role. What's the plan? What's the thing? We are jam packed with news today with the whole point of bringing everybody on is to say, Hey, you're our red person. Hey, what can people do to help you?

So obviously go to your Twitter. God, yeah, yeah, that's me. That's my dog on both the up there. She's really mad to be at this restaurant. And me.

And then that's me and the baby. Yeah, go to my Twitter. I'm trying to stay in games, but I'm not married to staying in games media because I got shafted so bad the one time I did do it.

So we'll see. I'm looking for like producer roles. I'll do I'll do a producer role. But if you have brand stuff is where my explicit set of skills lies.
