Hello, welcome back to the Prestige TV podcast feed. I'm Joanna Robinson. I'm Rob Mahoney.

0:23.1

We're here to talk to you about the pit. The pit. It's, uh, it's 9 a.m. Is it not?

0:29.5

It's 9 a.m. Very flirty for 9 a.m. Oh, yeah? I just think there's a lot of weird energy in the air in

0:35.4

the pit at this hour. It's very bizarre. This is just not the time, certainly not the place. But people got to get this energy out where they can, I suppose. It's true. All right. So we're going to talk about the pit season two, episode three. First, we're going to do some mailbag stuff. Yeah. Where can people reach us, first and foremost? Joe, always Prestige TV at Spotify.com, especially for DePitt.

0:57.9

Yeah. Where can people reach us, first and foremost? Joe, always, prestige TV at Spotify.com. Especially for DePitt. Yeah. Dr. Sidebangs at gmail.com. In honor of Cassie McKay herself, who is the subject of multiple men's affections. It's true. You know, I would say to varying degrees of sincerity. Oh. Well, you know, it just strikes me that the Walmart greeter, he feels like more of a recreational flirt. Mr. Montrose, you are dubious. I'm not dubious. It's just like for guys like that, it's just kind of a way of life. But then there's hot guy in the bed who's just been like any chance to make a comment about how he's interested,

1:44.7

we talked last week about the July effect,

1:47.2

and a lot of people

1:47.8

They did not like that we said that.

1:52.5

It was like we wrote a pop psychology book with like a loosely true premise that sounded

1:57.2

1:57.9

And look, we're not medical professionals.

1:59.9

2:06.3

quickly apparently debunked. I'm curious if the show agrees that the July effect is overblown.

2:11.7

Sure. You know what I mean? Because the fact that they are showing all these new people

2:15.0

starting in July, it might be something they're engaging

2:18.2

with or not. We'll see. But certainly our listeners were not impressed with us invoking the July

2:23.5

effect. Some straight up disappointed. Like some real finger wagging responses, which, look,
