Adventure should never come with a pause button.

Remember Movie Pass?

All the movies you wanted for just nine bucks?

I'm Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet.

And this season, I'm digging into the tech stories we weren't told.

Starting with Stacey Spikes, the black founder of Movie Pass, who got pushed out of the company he built.

Everybody's trying to knock you down and it's not going to work and no one's going to like it.

And then boom, it's everywhere.

And that was that moment.

Listen to there are no girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

You don't know me.

A confession I can't take back.

I am.

The masked speaker.

Got a text into 785.92 that says,

sometimes I check my phone to see what time it is,

but then I check again five seconds later because I wasn't paying attention the first time.

I feel that.

The shame. The humiliation in that moment, knowing that everybody else is judging you, thinking,

did they really just pull out their phone twice?

Ew.

It's not that bad.
