Guys, I just thought of something. Random idea. You know those conversation-y blogposts that for instance FiveThirtyEight do? It’s kinda almost like a written podcast. We should do those! Like a weekly lobster chat around whatever topic, remove all the worst offensive stuff and then publish it as a regular blog post. Yay!
?
Like this:
Simon
Is that the new podcast? A written conversation?
Simon
That’s a really good idea.
Beate
Yes. Let’s get it done, starting Sunday night
????
Simon
YESSSSSSSSSS
John
Awesome
Simon
Im excited about it
Beate
How’s your Sunday afternoon /evenings John Lepp, Jen Love ? It’ll obviously be earlier in the day for you two..
John
That day we’ll actually be in San Diego, that’s the night before the Storytelling Conference. Sooo that’s three hours in the other direction.
Beate
Further away from us time wise? Sounds like that might be a good time then?
Jen
Sundays are not going to be ideal for me this weekend or going forward. There will always be family and hockey and and and
Jen
But IN for the idea
Beate
Ok, we’ll find another day. What would work best for you two? It’s always going to be in a somewhat inconvenient time if it’s going to be possible at all unfortunately..
I’m thinking like 30 minutes
Simon
Lets start every episode with a fact about lobsters
Beate
Yesssss
John
LOL
Beate
Rotating responsibility for bringing a lobster fact
Jen
If we make it consistent every week there would be lots of options… I would say we pick a day where it’s morning here and afternoon there…?
John
i can make time most days… so im retty easy
Jen
Random suggestion: Tuesdays!
Beate
Tuesdays
??
Simon
Tuesdays are literally my best days
Beate
Can the Canadians do like 11-12? get me out of my meetings and client days first
Jen
this works for me
John
i could wrangle 1130-12 on a regulasr basis – i work out 10-11 on tuesdays…
Beate
Peeeerfect! I’ll send out a meetinf planner.
Jen
if we want to start this week it can’t be 8AM PST because I’ll be doing a keynote for 1000 people and losing my shit
John
1000?
Jen
Yep, apparently it’s 1000 people or so for the plenaries
Beate
That is SO GOOD! You’ll smash it out of the park and everyone will love you ?
Jen
thanks sweet bea
John
Holy shit
Jen
maybe Steven is fucking with me but that’s what he said
John
they must have really grown it… it used to be a 300-400 person confernece
lol
Simon
1000, that’s like M in Latin
Jen
(exceeeeept that the 19th and 26th of November, both Tuesdays, I know John and Simon are both booked. And the 12th of November I’m on a flight to Alaska)
ok maybe not simon on the 26th but that’s congress
Simon
3 of us can cover for 1
Jen
Fair enough
Simon
Shake up the dynamic
Shake it like a protein shake
Should me know how to write the number one in Latin?
Beate
I
Simon
Sorry
Should *I* know
John
lobster FACT:
Lobsters are thought to never stop growing and if they live long enough, they can reach up to 1m long!
?
Simon
That fact doesnt make any sense
John
of course it does
they can get fucking big if i dont eat them first
Simon
If they lived long enough they’d be up to infinity M long
Beate
Simon, it’s “I”
John
?
Simon
I KNOW! WAS A TYPO! But should I know how to write the number one in Latin?
Beate
A feast for your eyes: A snack eating a snack. Seth says hi
Simon
Babeception
Jen
#swoon
John
lol
Beate
is this latin thing a skit
Simon
Yes
John
my whole life seems like one big improv show
*calendar invite pinging in*
Simon
SLACK?!
Jen
FUCK SLACK
Beate
Hahahahaha
Well it’s going to have to be in some kind of format where it’s easy to get it off the platform and onto a blog platform
John
Sigh
Beate
This conversation though: Lobster chat preview.
I’m publishing it
Jen
oh my goddess between recording the video for fundraising everywhere and trying to understand what the fuck is with this podcast/written blog and having to look over the top of my glasses to see any of this I feel like I am 1000 years old and i’m going to have a glass of sherry and lie down on a fainting couch
Simon
Should someone say something about fundraising?
This is my new favorite thing on the internet. Day made.
