I will say that I'm almost surprised by how much whatever room you're in looks like it was at least in part decorated by your mother.

Well, Ken, I think that you will be not surprised to learn that I'm at her house.

Oh, because I was like, what on earth? Damn, she really, really is picking it up. Welcome to Pod Crushed. We're your hosts. I'm Penn. I'm Sophie and I'm Nava and I think we would have been your middle school besties. Publicly saying you love Nine-Each Nails, but privately feeling like they're just a little bit too intense. Hello and welcome to Pod Crushed. I am joined by my co-hosts, Nava, and Sophie. I'm not going to give you the last name because if you're here, you probably know them. You know them so well. Because you come here just to feel like you're part of the gang. You know what I mean? And you are. We love you. Yeah. Okay. So today's guest is Lola Kirk and Penn Sister-in-law.

So delight. just to feel like you're part of the gang. You know what I mean? And you are. We love you. Yeah. Okay.

So today's guest is Lola Kirk and Penn's sister-in-law. So delightful. One thing she talks about in her book really early on is she describes her family as wolves, which I thought was really cool. And it made me curious, what animal do you guys identify with? Great question. I've always wanted to be a dolphin, like unironically, true, true desire.

As a child, like honest, like a real desire to be... A dolphin, not a whale? Yeah, because dolphins are so acrobatic. Like, a whale's slow. Why would you... I mean, what do you get from being a whale? Because dolphins are kind of known as being like annoying. You know that, right?

Sophie wants to make sure you know that.

You said that like suddenly you became my sister and you were like, hey, do we even?

Not a good answer.

I have swam with both whales and dolphins and dolphins.

Here's what I've heard.

Is that dolphins literally can like dissuade sharks from attacking other animals.

And they're buoyant and funny and acrobatic and live and they swim to the water really fast and they flip.

They're kind of like vengeful though.

Dolphins are vengeful.

You're making that up. That's all I can say. That's chat GPT right there. That is not true facts. No, it's not true. No, whales are vengeful. You're getting it mixed up chat. I don't remember where I learned it from. Just like chat GPT. Her snapple fact of the day was I'm tired of this AI co-host here. My answer is so boring, but I really identify with a cat. I think also because I've lived alone for so long and cats are really independent. I know. Incredibly boring, but that is the truth. I identify with cats. Also, you are so not a cat person. No, I love cats. I, the only

reason I, for a long time, loved cats more than dogs. The only reason I don't have a pet cat is because my sister is so deathly allergic that every time she came to visit me, it would be a huge problem. Otherwise, I would have a cat. I love them. I also love dogs, but yeah. Interesting. You know, yeah, you just strike me as such a dog person because of how much you love your dogs.

Yeah.

The only thing that is coming to mind is... but yeah interesting interesting you know yeah you just strike me as such a dog person because of how

much you love your dogs yeah the only thing that is coming to mind is uh i'm actually when you

ask that question now i was brought back transported to my friend nico millington's basement in high

school where we would hang out a lot and um there were a few guys in the great above me who likened me to a cocker spaniel.
