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. No girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. We got an email from a guy named Theo recently who wanted us to prank his brother. And his brother is a teacher's assistant for a professor at a big university.

And he told us, whatever we can do to work in the fact that whenever they go home for the holidays, the two brothers put on conductor's hats and play with toy trains in their family's basement.

Even as adults, he said, make sure you bring that up.

Embarrass him, whatever you got to do.

So that was Alexis's job.

You'll hear how she did in your phone tap right now. It's another phone tap.

And weekday mornings on the 20s.

Hello?

Hi, is this Robert?

It sure is. May I ask she's calling? Hi, is this Robert? It sure is. May I ask who's calling?

I don't want to tell you my real name, so I'll just tell you my first initial. It's Becca.

Oh, I mean, pretend you didn't hear that. B. My name's B.

Okay, B. Well, what is this in regards to? You're the T.A. in Mr. D. B.S.

Class for American Literature. That, that's correct, yes. And I know there's a big test tomorrow.

Right. Well, I haven't been studying. I don't know what to tell you. You better hit the books. It's going to be tough. I've seen the test. Oh, my God. Are you coming on to me? What? No. I mean, it's okay. I get it. A lot of guys like me, but... B, I don't even know what you are. You called me, this is, that's very weird.

Look, can we just cut the cards here?
