But also for all of us, we actually recorded initial six attacks once we happened to be locating the sound and creating this brand-new podcast. We recorded that in advance, nevertheless now we are quite present. So this is like we have had a whole summertime. So we haven’t recorded in months so we’ve been to all sorts of things
Christina:
Uncharted region. The very last time we recorded, we hadn’t fulfilled. We have met physically.
Drew:
That’s true! Yes!
Christina:
Drew was a student in my ding, dang home, merely hanging out.
Drew:
Yes!
Christina:
I would personally simply awake and stay similar, “Well, appear, which is Drew over indeed there.”

In addition simply love your thing which is keeping me personally from gonna Residence Depot is actually a motor vehicle and never the very individual that Im. Like every time i am at a property Depot, some one happens to be like, “Ma’am will you be missing? Are you presently secure here?” And that I’m love, “No, honestly. Really timber around. I am not safe.” And so I have a casino game for Drew because we want to play games.
Drew:
I am paying attention.

And I also determined, both in respect of myself personally and the guest, that this would end up being some intro into the world of fanfic for Drew. What exactly You will find done is actually i have taken five shows from Drew’s ideal Characters in Television listing, I am also planning to review you some tags from AO3’s fanfiction and you are planning need certainly to guess which associated with the programs these labels tend to be making reference to.
