And when I first 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.280 had Bennie on, I hadn't seen the whole season, okay, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.120 because my niece had told me to have him on. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.880 She was like, have Benny drama. I don't know Benny. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.200 I had to do some research to like catch up, 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.280 and I was like, Wow, these kids are amazing. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:18.080 We're you know what. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.000 We had good role models with you guys, because I 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.039 feel like Sex and the City was so formative. And 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.440 actually I remember where I was the first time I 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.560 saw Sex in the City. I was born in the nineties, 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.760 so it was a little bit like, you know, mature 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.720 for me as like a kid when it was sharing. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.440 But then in high school I had to sleep over 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.120 at my friend Julia's house. It was like all the 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.319 girls were all still friends to this day, and she 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.520 had DVDs of like the fourth season or something, and 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.920 we just dove in and I was like, holy shit, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.120 I think this show is going to change my life. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.960 And ever since then, i've yeah, I guess that must 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.120 have been like ten years ago. It's just been such 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.160 like a mainstay constant for me, and watching the movies 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.560 over and over and then and just like that. It's 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.320 just been so fun to follow the characters. But I 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.000 feel like Sex and the City was such like a 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.360 progress I mean at the time. And obviously there are 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.680 issues that we would handle differently today, of course, but 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:10.000 really presenting the mainstream with these things that were happening 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.480 in New York absolutely maybe didn't feel so accessible at 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:13.799 the time. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:14.760 So absolutely. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.160 And I think that we thought when we started it 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.919 in ninety eight, which is, you know, bizarre to say 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.920 out loud, that it would be like a little niche, 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.280 you know, like we all related to it. Obviously, we 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.440 were in our thirties, and you know, this was kind 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.280 of our life. I mean, it wasn't exactly our life. 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.960 It was like an elevated, more intense version orund but 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.720 it was so exciting to do it, you know, but 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.000 we never thought it would have widespread appeal. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.480 Did you live in New York at the time or. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:41.800 Back and forth? 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.160 I had. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.559 I went to Rutgers and then I then I graduated 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.760 and lived in like first I lived in Jersey City. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.639 Not exciting. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.079 Sorry, sorry, sorry, okay, I know, I mean, you know, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.760 how it was right and not any means necessary. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.440 Right now, you live in Williamsburg was very very cool. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.960 Hopoken at the time wasn't really cool though it later 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:01.640 got cool. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.679 But it was kind of like the financial. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.160 Bros were there. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.119 I was a waitress at that restaurant right. I don't 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:10.120 know if you've ever been over there. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.720 When you would get off the Path train, there was 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.639 a restaurant right there, and they would all just come 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.040 in their suits and yeah, like horrible. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.680 I would, yeah, every day. So they're still like that. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:20.960 Yes, it's true. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.560 I feel like they've been somewhat diluted, though I don't 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.920 know if it's my experience has changed, but like it 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.320 used to seem that the entire city was that. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:30.120 Yeah. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.880 Now, yes, you're right, there's much more segment. It's much 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:33.440 more segment. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.880 Got the hipsters where you are. You know, we've got 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.520 the art student as well. We've got the college students. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:40.640 I feel like the college students. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.080 And I think this is because the last season we 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.960 stayed in the village when my kids were there. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.240 I mean, the students are living the life. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.320 They are in the lap of luxury down there. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:51.960 Wow. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.960 Yeah, I think I think a lot. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.800 How my life would be different if I went to NYU, 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.120 But I went to like an information session there because 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.800 that was my top choice for a while. I ended 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.080 up into Boston College and dropping out after two years, 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.000 but I went to this information session and one of 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.640 the admissions people was like, we just know if someone 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.880 is like a fit here, and we know if they're not. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.640 Oh no, And just that vibe really turned me off. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.400 And I don't even end up applying I was. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:14.600 So perfectly a fit. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.960 But you know when you're just like and thank you 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.560 for saying that, But you know when you just here 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.040 one thing where you're like, no, I actually don't think 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:22.440 I want to. 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.880 I do totally. I do totally. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.160 That was how I felt about Rutgers, because Rutgers they 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.000 it was an acting program, and they they were like, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.119 no one gets in, and I was like, okay, great 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.120 that's for me. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.960 Yeah, no, I almost. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.880 I actually tried to sign up for drama when I 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.440 won at Boston College, and the teacher was like, I 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:42.840 think the class is too full, but you can come 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.880 to the first day I meet everyone, and then I 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.640 did that, and then the second class I walked in 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.360 and she goes, it's full, and then I had to 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:51.479 walk out. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.680 With my head hanging though. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.359 That's horrible. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.599 That was I just think there's so many ways I 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.920 could have found this, But I'm glad it happened the 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:58.479 way that it did. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.679 I mean, it always happens the way that should write. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.039 But it's never easy, no, no, for no one. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.280 Right, it's been a tough I mean it's yeah, I feel. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:06.680 Like stand up. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.600 I mean, stand up is to me like the hardest, hardest, hardest, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:12.960 Like what made you want to do that? 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.279 I don't know, I think I've met. It's the type 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.560 of mental illness that I have. It's really specific. And 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.360 I started taking improv classes when I had like a 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.560 full time job and I lived with my boyfriend at 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.479 the time. I had a very quiet, sort of contained life. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.840 And then once I took improv, I just decided I 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.279 wanted to try stand up. And then after that first 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.359 time I did it, I was like, oh God, I 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:36.560 think I found the thing I want. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.520 To do, like the drug. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.719 It was such a high and I totally blew up 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.200 my whole life and then just decided to like pursue comedy. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.360 And at the beginning, you have that right level of 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.800 like delusion where you're like this could actually happen for me, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.760 and I just tried to apply all the like type 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.040 a personality that I have to this career, right and 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.920 now I'm ten years in and things are going well 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:57.720 it works out. 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.800 Yeah, it's amazing. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.520 I think that's what I love so much about you 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.599 and Betty. First of all, you're super talented, but second 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.960 of all, the way that you have made it. And 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.680 I don't know how you guys met, which I want 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.800 to know, but it's very much inspiring and exciting to 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.000 me that it has worked out for you guys, because 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.440 first of all, I think you're super committed, which everyone 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:16.839 has to be. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.760 Like when people ask me when they're young, like what 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.440 should I do? And I'm like, uh, you know, how 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.960 bad do you want it? Like that's really the key. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.920 Because it's a lot of banging your head against the wall. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.640 It really for years and years and years, and you 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.240 have no money. It's embarrassing, and you're begging people to 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.120 like support you. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.360 Yes, and yeah, if. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.920 You don't love it, like if you don't feel like 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.440 you would risk everything for it, then you really can't 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.920 do it. I mean, I'm sure there are some people 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.880 who've sort of stumbled into it and everything's worked out 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:43.160 for them. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.240 But I think it's very very rare. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.120 I mean, I don't I don't know anyone like that. 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.800 I can't think right now of anyone like that. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.839 But I love you guys because you as opposed to 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.599 like our generation, like we all. I mean, Cynthia and 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.960 Sarah were child actors and Kim had been acting for 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.080 a long time too, But like I went to college 0:06:59.120 --> 0:06:59.400 for it. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.559 I got to be fa it isn't me no good? 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.280 Like what are the kind of insanity is that? 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.800 You know what I'm saying, studying it? 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.760 But I know, right, I mean the thing that was 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.160 good about where I went is that it was very 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.000 very challenging and they cut people every semester. What so 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.440 yeah yeah, yeah, Like five hundred people auditioned to be 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:17.080 a freshman. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.280 Fifty of us got in. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.760 That makes me five graduated, and you were one of 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.240 the fives. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.400 I was, wow, Oh you're not going to stop me, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.680 that's you know what I mean? 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.840 I would, right, that would be a lot for me 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.240 to handle mentally. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.880 Right, But I mean you have handled ten years of 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.920 this business, so it's the same. What I'm saying is 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:37.640 that the weird, weird hardness of it was good prep right, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.760 because it made no sense, right, Like you couldn't you couldn't. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.640 You just be like what what?

This is during college, right, And I 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.840 was like, oh god, you know good. It was actually 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.160 good because the real world is much. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.840 Worse a nightmare. Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.080 It's brutal, especially when you start like working your way 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.400 up a little bit and you start to hear the 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.720 conversations that are happening behind the scenes and you see 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.840 just how brutal it Isn't right, I guess what's almost 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.120 nice about social media is like all the meanest things 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.640 anyone could ever say to you, you got to you 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.720 got a notification totally hey this person said this thing. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.240 So now I'm like, whatever an agent or exec could 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.760 say about me, I would love for them to try 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.560 to come up with something new because I would just 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:20.120 be interested. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.520 But yeah, definitely, that's so true. That's your true. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.880 I had not thought about that. I mean, as much 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.640 as I really like I at one point when so, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.640 so I'm doing the podcast, so I'm looking at more 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.520 stuff and then the show ended, as you know, and 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.160 just like that, and I was so confused by it, 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.120 and also like, you know, everyone was hating on us, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.000 and then we announced we were over and they were like, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.000 oh no, yeah, And then I was like, well, that's 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.839 really interesting, like what's actually happening, you know, but like 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.720 the there's like such a weird vibe out there. But 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.240 I said to Sir Jessca, I was like trying to 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.480 figure it out, and she said, why are you reading 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.640 those comments? Don't read the comments? And I said, I know, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.680 I know, I know. It's kind of not once you 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.719 get in. I mean for us, like we've been through 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.560 it like every which way, and she's very strong about it. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.760 She doesn't Cynthia reads everything. Yeah, everyone finds their own way, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:08.000 you know. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.400 I think Cynthia feels like she learns from it, which 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.920 I think is amazing. Yeah, she's very tough. I'm not 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.520 so tough, but I am really curious. Yeah, you know, 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.760 I want to understand. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.480 It is that weird thing. I mean, I think people 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.360 love being mean on the internet. That's like one of 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.520 the reasons why we started our podcast, just because we 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.079 wanted to celebrate things and we wanted to we wanted 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.960 to talk about things that we loved in a genuine way. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.560 And it's so much easier to obviously have a podcast 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.560 where you're snarky about everything and you're just on what's 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.200 being made and you insult people's work. But I think 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.240 what people don't realize is like, yeah, if you are 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.480 going to complain about something and say it's bad, like 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.240 it might not be around anymore. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.600 So I know, I mean, I would like people to 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.200 hear my best saying that, because I feel I feel 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.000 like there is this weird I mean, I assume that 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.520 it's also like the times that we're living in, right, 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.200 people are so uncomfortable and we don't know what is 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.679 happening at any given time, right, So it's much safer 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.160 to complain about a TV show, right than it is 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.800 to deal with the bigger issues, you know, And I 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.600 get that, I get that, But if you're the people 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.280 making the TV show, it's hard to be yelled at 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.840 continually and told that you don't know what you're doing 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.880 and that that person in wherever their houses knows your 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.959 character better than you, which you know is interesting. No, 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.560 we were trying to make a different show with the 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:32.079 same character. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.800 That's the thing, and that's how I approached it was like, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.800 it is the same universe, but the characters obviously have 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.120 changed because they're in totally different phases of their lives. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.480 And I feel like, again, the show tried to tackle 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.720 topics like, you know, you having an on binary child. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.040 It's like or Charlotte having an on binary child. It's like, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.240 what you mean, it's I just felt like, yeah, people 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.199 were always going to hold it to I mean, they 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.480 hold reboots in anything like that to such a different 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.680 standard because of the nostalgia. But I just to me, 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.360 it was like, you know, once again, same with the original, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.839 even though I didn't necessarily I wouldn't make the same choices. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:06.240 As the characters. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.720 Like I was watching that every single week, and every 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.679 single friend that I talked to, conversations would start with, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:12.600 did you see in just like that? 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.200 Oh, like it was musty TV? 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.920 Yeah thirty, I'm thirty four. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.960 That's amazing. You're in the third thirties. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.480 Yeah, put it that way, you're in the thirty See, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.120 we were, And that's part of what's weird about streaming. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.240 And I don't know how you guys feel and overcompensating, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.960 but back in the olden days. Not so much with 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.840 HBO because we were our own We were like paving 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:30.520 the road or whatever. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:31.520 Yeah, we were new. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.200 But like you, you kind of knew who was watching streaming. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.719 You're just like, I don't know. The only people you're 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.400 aware of is who's complaining, Oh. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.720 For sure, and he was posting clips and you know, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.280 chopping it up and right. Do you feel that way 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.800 about overcompensating, Yeah, I think it's just it's tough when 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.360 a lot of the streamers don't really tell you how 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.600 many people or or anything like that. Now that I mean, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.400 the numbers get so big at a certain point, I'm like, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.400 I can't even conceptualize that many people, but I know 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.560 how many people are reaching out and posting about it 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.840 and making fan edits and stuff like that. So I 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.760 feel like, yeah, it's also, for whatever reason, the criticisms 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.680 always resonate with like sticking your brain more than the 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.079 people who love it, of course. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.160 So yeah, well, also just feel that the people who 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.120 love it, if they're your friends, of course you're assuming 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.320 that they are just you know, biased, and then you 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.520 don't necessarily hear from the people in the world who 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.720 love it because they don't post about loving it right, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.200 only the angry people post it seems. I don't know, 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.200 but like with overcompensating. So okay, First of all, how'd 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:31.720 you meet Benny? 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.960 So? Bennie and I actually met at a stand up show. 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.280 This was in yeah, pre pandemic.

And then we were booked on 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.480 another show together like a week later, and he said 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.160 he needed someone for a sketch that he was doing, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.320 and I was like absolutely, Like you know, that was 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.400 a time when it was say yes to everything, and 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.640 then also if it's someone that you think is really funny. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.320 You're like, well, of course, like I'll be there, what time? 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.000 Yeah, And then it just sort of organically grew from there, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.400 and then we had this opportunity to do our first 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.080 podcast together, which was canceled. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.199 First podcast in history to ever be canceled. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:17.080 Yeah, I've never heard of. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.800 All the Obsessed.
