Um, Angela and 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.520 I have you know, haven't really talking about what we do, 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.919 so talking shop, talking talking shop on National Girls Women 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.560 in Sports Day. Um, I mean we feel honored. So Angela, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.240 how are you doing? How are you feeling today? And 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.839 this is a this is a big day to get 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.200 interviewed by Will, Like who are we? What are we doing? 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.560 This is next level? Yeah, we it's kind of like 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.000 very meta because we tweet about the podcast and now 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.800 we're you're gonna have the podcast. You're gonna now have 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.520 to pick a clip of yourself. I know, this is 0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:00.720 this is tantalizing. So as a fan, you know, I 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.840 was a fan of this team well before I ever 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.000 thought about working here. And when I was talking to 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.320 our our boss's boss who who hires everyone, one of 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.079 the things I said to him was, you know, I said, 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.680 I've been a fan of this team for a long time, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.800 but I am equally, if not more so, a fan 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.520 of what the digital team does. And I didn't know 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.480 you guys before I came here. I just came at 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.080 it from a fan's perspective. And I remember thinking, gosh, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:30.000 if this is the environment that allows this kind of creativity, 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.560 and these people who are putting out this incredible content 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.120 work here, I know that's a place like I should 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.800 be so lucky to get a chance to work there. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.400 And you two are at the forefront of that. And 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.440 there are a lot of people that that go into 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.200 the process of people making such a creative stuff and 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.080 putting it out for the world. But I mean, you 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.960 two are really the minds behind everything that goes out 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.720 on our social media channels and so much more so, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.600 I was wondering if we could promise I'll stop embarrassing 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.720 you guys and waxing poem Dick and actually ask you questions. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.680 But I just I get so excited. Um, what does 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.960 a typical day look like for both of you? Because 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.000 the thing that I've learned is how much that everyone 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.560 doesn't see goes into both of your jobs. Yeah. Well, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.839 if if you are a listener of this, you should 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.760 be very glad because if you saw me right now, 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.080 you would see that I have lots of bags under 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.120 my eyes. Oh thank you. Um that is mainly because 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.480 we are on twenty full seven. Um, you know, hey, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.680 rap sheet posted about a big trade Saturday. I was like, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.240 do we do something? Do we do something? We had 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.720 content ready and we were texting our boss and we're like, hey, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.039 should we do this? And he's like, I don't know, 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.599 maybe maybe not. Let's test it out, let's feel it out. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.159 We ultimately didn't, but like, that's kind of like we 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.559 always have to. I wish I could have a cool, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.520 like like motto right now if you're like you stay ready, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.960 don't have to be ready, or something like wishing that 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.159 that was like our motto on social. That is not 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.320 the motto on social. It's kind of like, um, let's 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.120 just have a bunch of stuff and like let's have fun. 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.240 U okay, bub if you're following, um, I am an 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.800 adult and I did go to college. Um So basically 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.279 I would say I'll let and just way more of 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.560 the fun stuff. I'm more in the in how we 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.960 all communicate in in this digital world. Is we have 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.400 everything in slack, so Angel and I are constantly in 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.240 communication and a lot of where our ideas come from, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.919 you know, involved with the whole team, like the photo team, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.760 the video team, obviously the podcast team. Um is, we 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.880 just want to want to make each other laugh. So 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.520 a lot of like people actually find it that this 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.320 is an actual thing. Like in our slack, we actually 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.360 have a channel that's called memes where we just send 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.479 funny things we see on the internet to each other 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.280 and then sometimes you see them on Panther Social. So 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.400 a lot of what we do is be online. So 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.719 you know, my fiance and I he gives me a 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.240 hard time because I'll be on my phone. He's like, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.320 I thought you weren't working. I'm like, well, He's like, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.440 you're just on TikTok and I'm like, well, I kind 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.760 of working because I'm just looking. I'm looking at what's 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.880 cool in in in the web, but you know, an 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.440 online on mobile um. And so that's I would say 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.520 that's a typical day. Now most of the times i'm 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.160 in I'm in meetings UM talking about the memes and 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.680 stuff that Angela is creating. But so that's that's on 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.680 the typical day. On my side, I'm more of trying 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.720 to make sure the ship is running were well, Angela 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.200 is the one that's actually doing the cool stuff and 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.880 tossing it over. I think the best part is that 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.280 there's not a day that looks the same as yesterday, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.920 Like there's something new happening every single day, whether that's 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.680 football news, like random trades, or people are in our 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.480 mentions like you should do this, you should do that, 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.560 and we can't do anything. Um But I think the 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.279 biggest part is that when something is trending, you have 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.159 such a short window to either jump on it or 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.600 to figure out like business match or voices is something 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.040 that we can do to kind of tailor to us. Um. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.000 But every single day we have what if conversations, So 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.520 we have you know, channels, our meme channel will send 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.120 stuff like what if we did this and what if 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.200 we did that? And some of our best ideas have 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.400 come from that of like what do you guys think? 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.279 Is this funny? Or am I just is it just 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.720 funny to me? Like how can we you know, create this? 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.200 So I think honestly we are on seven, whether that's 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.480 new music coming out, like is that someone that's from 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.520 Carolina or you know, is it like like there's a 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.360 Drake video that happened I think last summer and kind 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.160 of blew up until we did some memes with that 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.880 when we were going into football for COVID and different 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.760 things that you can kind of tailor to our voice. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.080 But being in tune with even just music has nothing 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.920 to do with football. But if we can you know, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.080 relate that to us and people are talking about it 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.720 on social that's something that we can jump on and 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.840 ultimately can be fun and you know it works. So yeah, 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.840 I think we're not on memes, We're on tixap and said, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.440 so we just keep going and finding different things that 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.480 we can kind of create. I got so excited. I'm 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.320 sorry interrupted you, Angela, but I want to explain. Here's 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.120 here's a perfect example, kab So for you know, one 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.680 thing that kind of like popped off for us in 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.600 the off season was us, you know, saying, Brandon Johnson, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.000 one of our videographers, we put him in Madden, and 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.440 this whole idea came from it. This We've been talking 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.120 about this for months when Madden sent us all these 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.960 clips and we realized that, you know, one of them 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.840 kind of looks like Brandon, our videographer, And this is 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.360 a perfect example of us being like, this is kind 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.000 of funny, Like he made it his icon on Slack 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.400 and we were just ribbing him on it. And this 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.600 is where Angela and Brandon were in our Meme channel 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.439 was like, hey, you know, let's make this a real thing, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.720 Like could we make this a TikTok? Would this be funny? 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.960 And they just made it one day and they're like 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.360 is this funny or is this just us? And like, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.760 you know, I wish you could see all like the 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.000 flame emojis that were in slack that we're like, this 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.679 is amazing, this is fire. Now. Was that something that 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.440 like we thought would pop off. I mean, we thought 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760 it was really good, but I mean that just goes 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.480 to show you that sometimes the stuff that we make 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.959 is to make each other laugh, and we were like, hey, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.960 this also works for our matches, our voice, just like 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.240 Angela said, so that I think that's the really exciting things. Like, um, 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.520 I give and this is a throwback, and I give 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.559 angelot of credit because like her first like she started 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.599 mid season UM in twenty nineteen, UM, and one of 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.280 the first things she did was we had this, Um, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.320 this is gonna sound like a thirst travel it's not 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.680 trying to be so I apologized, but keeping it real 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.480 and the happy aff hour. Um, there's this photo of 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:31.080 Christian McCaffrey where he was without a shirt, and um, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.560 we knew that that would maybe be something that some 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.160 of the fans would want and and one of her 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.400 first big viral tweets was about and you want to 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.280 you you explain it because I think this is one 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.360 of my favorite memories of you. Yeah, it was my 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.199 first big win. So I keep this really, you know, close. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.800 But it was basically I was turning on Twitter and 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.680 it was like, I'm gonna tell my kids that this 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.120 is whoever right, and so it was like photo that 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.440 they kind of look like, or you know, you're gonna 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.800 trick your kids later on whatever. So I don't know 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.720 how I thought of this. I was scrolling one day 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.600 and I saw a photo of John Cena and I 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.280 was like, oh my god, what if we use this? 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.439 And he was like flexing, and I'm like, what if 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.680 we use this with a picture of Christian? And I 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.760 didn't know I think Christians a fan because once we 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.880 posted it, he was like, now you see me now 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.760 started sharing it on his story and I was like yes. Like, 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.160 when you get the players to comment and to share, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.600 at least you know they like your content, they're kind 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.120 of engaging, but then they also get you know, their 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.240 followers in tune with the stuff that you're doing too, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.520 So that's kind of how you gauge a win from 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.719 a player's standpoint. But that was my first big win 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.480 and I was like, Okay, I can do this. You know, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.640 I got this. We can keep rolling with it. So 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.400 she had many sense, but that one is that's the 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.920 o G one that I love, the first one, always 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.520 a special And that was definitely a what if conversation 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.280 because I texted Amy and I was like, I don't 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.559 know if we can do this. I know we usually 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.360 don't post the guys like this, but what if we 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.480 did this. Here are two photos that could work. And 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.360 so we sent it off for approvals. It was approved, 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.600 and we posted it and it did really well, did 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.520 very I was actually that was I was going to 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.199 ask you guys about that, which is like, what are 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.360 what are times that you were like, I don't know 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.160 if I'm the only one that thinks this is funny, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.599 but things have blown up. But you just gave to 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.520 awesome examples of that, and that is why I, you know, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.679 without knowing you guys, I was like, oh my god, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.200 these people are the greatest. Remember meeting with both of 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.959 you virtually via Slack, and I remember Angela sent me 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.480 a Slack message and she was like, Hi, I'm Angela 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.839 An the Social Team just want to welcome you here. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.200 And I was like, oh my god, this is someone 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.080 from the Social team, Like the Social ty's a big deal. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.160 How did you, Amy, And I've asked you this before, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.880 how do you as someone who is has been the 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.880 voice of the Panthers and then when Angela you hire Angela, 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.400 how do you know you're gonna give this person the 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.920 keys to the kingdom? You're giving them the password and 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.920 you just know that they're going to fit the Panther's 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.200 voice because Angela is so great at it and so 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.440 creative and and so funny and inventive. But I imagine 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.200 that's a lot of pressure for you, as the manager 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.280 of the department to say, Okay, you know, I don't 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.920 even know if i'd want someone else tweeting for me. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.240 And it's going out to three million people and we 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.520 have a voice that we've established, So how did you 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.760 know that Angela was the right person for that? I 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.240 love this question because I can talk about Angela. UM. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.960 I think the biggest thing is, like anything, is you 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.520 can't have another sounds like I'm I'm doing coaches speak 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.439 right now, but it's okay, well we'll well, we'll give 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.200 you a rating one to ten. You can't have any 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.559 of those no Iron team. That's that's the one I'm 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.160 gonna go with. UM. So I think I think with 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.120 Angela in particular, is she was like, hey, I'm totally 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.959 willing to bring myself to the table, but I'm also 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.800 willing to like because when you talk for a brand, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.679 it's different, it's hard, and and I think we we 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.319 she jumped right in because we started the season and 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.360 I was like, I need help, here's a lifeline, and 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.360 Angels like I'm on and I'm coming aboard. Um. So, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.400 if you can imagine one person for the social team, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.200 is is not a lot of hands. So when Angela 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.560 came on, she just fit naturally. She she totally was 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.160 able to see something and bring her own like flavor 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.280 to to the team. And she's way like I mean, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.320 just looking at how to her, she's way cooler. I 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.800 mean just I can't even keep up with how cool 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.840 she is. I don't want to compare, but she's just 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.640 very cool then, just very very very cool. I am 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.160 um a third ye old mother, and those of you 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.839 who are going to be in the comments. You should 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.600 just be nice. But so I am not as cool, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.160 but like I would say that I'm I'm in like 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.800 the mom group at the playground that like when you 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.680 could be at playgrounds, That's that's who I would be 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.280 and I and so Angela's definitely has brought a new relevancy. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.520 Like she wanted not not to go into another example 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.800 of one of Angel's viral tweets, but like she had 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.080 when the snowflake emoji when my favorite, that's my favorite, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.360 and I you know, like when that was really popular, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.320 Angel sent to me and I was like, what is 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.520 that context? I was like what, She's like, let's do 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.079 the snowflake thing and I was like, um, is it smelling? 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.840 Like what is this on to X? And She's like no, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.480 it's like with the sweetie and I'm gonna like mess 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:13.280 this up. It's quave Amy is incredibly cool. Oh yeah, 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.240 of course saying I can't wait for our boss to 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.800 listen to this and be like, can you guys stop 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.880 saying how cool everyone is? But this is this is 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.960 we're cool. Okay, shout out to both of you guys 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:32.840 for I just send a text and I was like 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.280 look snowflake and noodles. They just go together. Can can 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.720 we do something like this? And she's like, Canney send 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.920 me an example of what you're talking about? What are 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.640 we thinking here? And I was like, Okay, here's what 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.320 I'm thinking. Let's see if it works. If not, totally fine. Yeah. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.240 And if anyone doesn't know what we're talking about, just 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.840 you know, Google put the snowflake emoji in there and 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.240 then the bullet. That's what I had to do. So 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.840 sometimes I need educating, as you can see. But I 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.840 think the biggest thing is, like we love making cool 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.800 stuff and everyone has their own, um like own way 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.200 to bring it to the table. Like Will is Will 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.680 and he's you know, just who he is, So like 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.600 we bring willness to our content. Yeah, it's it's amazing. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.760 And like, you know, we have Brandon Todd, Carson Smucker, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.520 like everyone has their own way of creating content. And 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.560 I think we've been able to um allow like creativity 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.200 to flourish because we're like, hey, like Brandon Todd, for example, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.360 when his photos are incredible, Will often be like, hey, 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.600 how do you want to you know, showcase your photos 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.000 at the end of the season, and him and Angela 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.160 and Brandon and Daniel, our designer will kind of talk 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.920 it through. So we have a lot of creative people, 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.880 and I think we've found a good rhythm of finding 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.600 a balance. I mean, obviously we like to keep it 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.760 fun and that's why our memes. UM, I love that 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.280 when other people talk about Panther Social like the memes 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.080 and we're like, yes, because we work really hard on 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.400 a lot of them don't ever see the light of day, 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.120 and we've had a few that have not done well. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.760 But this is our podcast and so we don't need 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.400 to talk about it because um, we have that control. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.280 But um, I would say it's it's a lot of 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.200 it is just keeping it fun and light. So well, okay, 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.480 so not to go in the other direction, but how 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.880 hard is it? You see, you guys see a lot 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.160 of comments all the time, and you're taking that in 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.680 even though it's not you know, you two don't have 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.280 anything to do with Roster moves or wins or losses. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.520 But you are also, um the conduit through which a 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.800 lot of people find their information or tweet back or 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.280 you know, d m back to the Panthers accounts. Do 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.120 you get to have a separation, can you separate that 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.760 because I just feel like I would take it all in, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.400 even though I know it's not personally me. Can that 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.040 ever affect your day? Well, I think we've set up 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.520 something really that it's now con commonplace with sports teams, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.280 UM and their handles is like we welcome like tweet 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.680 at us, say something yeah yeah, because sometimes we will 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.800 will snap off, right, angel, I hope I use that 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.000 in the corruit context. Um, we will pop off, snap off. Yeah. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.400 Those are my favorite, like the comments and it's like 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.440 it's like the comment equivalent of like that half smiley face. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.040 I'm like, it's so great. Yes, I'm gonna put a 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.480 printed on a T shirt so we we will definitely 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.800 um clap back. I think that's the term I was 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.000 really looking for. So yeah, you know it's it's it's 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.280 it's the mom way to say it. Um. So we 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.600 will definitely do that. And I love that. I would 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.000 rather have fans reach out to us and say whatever 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.960 they want because I that ultimately just helps us know 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.359 what the fans are talking about. And like you said, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.280 we know who you are, so we I definitely have 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.480 saved a few tweets. I'm like, I'm gonna come back 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.120 to this guy if if we this so this scenario 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.520 happens or not so. I I think that's um the 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.760 fun piece of it. Now, the second part of your question. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.120 I'd love to hear Angela's thoughts, Um, And I love 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.320 that Will hasn't had a chance to talk. I'm sorry. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.000 I know I want to let him in, but I just, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.520 like I said, because there's a microphone, I get to 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.680 ask you guys all the questions that I've always wanted 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.720 to ask, and I will. If you can jump in, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.199 please do. If you if you're an avid listener of 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:56.959 The Happy Half Hour, just know that Will is just 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.760 on zoom, just looking at us and in marvel of 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.640 our greatness. So no, I mean and would build our boss. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.359 I'm just I didn't mean the greatness like we're the 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.760 best ever. I just mean the best ever. Well, it's 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.320 funny because Will was like, do you want me? He 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.240 was like, do you just want to do it yourself? 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.159 You know, if you if you want to, it's you know, 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.480 National Girls and Women's in Sports Day, and you know, 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:16.840 I think he was just trying to be considerate and 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:18.200 I was like, no, we need to do it together. 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.520 And I think we'll just knew that this is the 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.239 way it was gonna go. Ye. Just seeing him on 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.840 this though, shows he's a true supporter. So um, but 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.000 so I will I'll toss it over to and and 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.399 what she thinks about kind of like finding a separation, 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.159 but it's it's definitely hard, but I will say I 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.080 would rather have people tweeting at us all day than 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.000 to not. Yeah, and yeah, I think I've been able 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.280 to kind of separate it of knowing that, like I 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.600 can't do anything related too football, so it's like there's 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.920 not much we can do. I think the things where 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.240 it hurts is if we like make a typo or 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.679 this day, we should have caught that and somebody else did, 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.639 so either we try to fix it or we're like, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.840 you know what, we're human, we mess up, Like we're 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.160 just gonna roll at the punches and see how it goes. 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.320
