The letter Y, known for being pointy, famous for being a vowel sometimes.

Nobody thinks much about it, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why the letter Y is secretly incredibly fascinating.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt. And I'm not alone. Two wonderful guests return this week, David Christopher Bell and Tom Ryman. They're comedy makers, podcasters, live streamers. They make a lot of that stuff together under the shared name, Gamefully Unemployed. Also, Tom writes for places like 1-900 Hot Dog

makes videos for places like Rancor and for Turner Classic movies. Dave is a writer of film scripts. He's

also the head writer of the Fantastic Some More News channel on YouTube.

These guys are so multi-talented and pretty busy. So I'm so glad they're back to get into

one of the strangest letters in all of writing. Also, I've gathered all of our zip codes.

I've used internet resources like native-land.ca to acknowledge that I recorded this on the traditional land of the

Canarsi and Lanapae peoples. Acknowledged Dave recorded this on the traditional land of the

Gabrielino Or Tongva and Kich and Chumash peoples. Acknowledge Tom recorded this on the traditional

land of the Chera, Kiawi, Kataba, and Okanichi peoples, and acknowledge that in all

of our locations, native people are very much still here. That feels worth doing on each episode,

and today's episode is about the letter Y. Self-explanatory, stands on its own, and if you want to hear the one other SIF

episode about a letter, you can listen to the one about the letter X, also featuring these

guests. But they each stand on their own. It's not like a sequel or something, because each of

those letters are surprisingly the title of the podcast, and in totally separate ways,

even though they are next door to each

other in the alphabet.

So, please sit back, or look at a map of the Mediterranean and a map of the English channel,

because both those bodies of water, very important in this episode, turns out.
