There is a dog[inaudible]

Speaker 2:

And I'm like, this is what's our podcast called again, or learn per core. Right. Maybe, maybe be taught, skating, potentially learn two buildings climb. If you feel like it go to school to plank, are we bringing planking back? Is that what this episode is about? No, it's not actually, well then tell us what it's about because this is not our usual distribution schedule, but we are here with some news. Is that correct? Yeah. We have a few things, actually. I think we need to just sort of pop out there into the air waves, pop them out, pop them out. I mean, yeah. Uh, let's get to the, the big one. Yeah. Big boy news. Very exciting news. We are so, so thrilled. I had to really work hard not to throw a sweater in there. I'm sure you could feel that energy Jordan did. And I appreciate it. I'm trying hard to not make the bleeping hell. I'm trying not to make the bleeding heck. Um, so yeah, but we are, we are absolutely thrilled to share that or learn per core is a finalist for best comedy podcast of 2020 and the discover pods awards. Yeah, no, really, really. I still don't believe it either, but apparently it's real. It's not a typo. I keep waiting for them to tell us it's a typo and they haven't yet. Yeah, no, I mean, I guess we could like email them and be like, Hey, is this meant to be okay? All right. Sure, sure, sure. Uh, so I was one of the few award programs that doesn't have an entry fee, so it's, it's, it's free to enter. And so, uh, that's a really special opportunity for small podcasts like us to reach new people. And we just wanted to take a second and say thank you to the folks that discover pods obviously. And also, you know, we just want to say thank you to all of y'all. Yeah. We really, really appreciate all of you so much. It's amazing that you've taken the time to let us hang out with you here and to nominate us for those of you who did. And it's a huge honor to be seen by the discover pods folks. We appreciate you folks taking the time as well. Yeah. It's kind of weird. Cause like apparently way it works, right. Is we got nominated for, um, I think a few different categories that we were eligible for. And if you get nominated, then there's people at the discover pods place team where the pod at the discover pods pod, um, at the hive mind of the discovery channel pods, is that was it. Uh, but apparently real humans have to go and listen to all of the nominees. So that means that somebody out of 9,000 submissions listen to our podcast. I like to think it was like an intern, listen to our podcast and was like, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, get over here. I got to show you the good stuff. You got to put this in your newsroom. The hive-mind is really just a newsroom. Yeah. But really though, thank you to whomever. It was at discover pods. Yeah. Whoever said yes, I would like to learn park or you're a hero. Yeah. Yeah. And if it was an accident, just let us live in. Just let us sit in it please. Yeah, no, we weren't meaning to put out anything else until after the election, but then we got, you know, notified of this list that we're on with other other really cool really well-known awesome podcasts. And like it's such a huge honor, but also like y'all hello? Okay. Sure. Who else on this list is like very cool. Uh, one of them can use nunchucks, so like, I don't know. That's pretty, it's incredibly tight. Sean. If you're listening to this, when we all meet up for comedy podcast dodgeball after this, can you be on our team please? Yeah. And by after this, I'm assuming you mean after like this? Yeah. Yeah. It was very, I feel like a Dodge ball could get real germy and also playing Dodge ball with a mask on sounds less than chill. Um, brutal. Um, yeah. So after this we really won't be recording anything until after the election. It is currently Wednesday 28th. Uh, yeah, the 28th of October. So a lot has happened since our last episode a lot will probably happen before the next one keep loving yourself and others. Well, do some deep breathing, uh, take your meds if you're, if you've forgotten to today, unclench your jaw. Oh, that's always a good one. Thank you. That reminded me to unclench my job. If you got a pass, just try, try and work with that executive dysfunction and try to get up and go even like roll your shoulders back if you, if you have a little gas leftover after that. Yeah. And if you don't and you can just lay down and that's it. That's okay too. That's still so, so valid. So yeah. Uh, but really though, thank you so much to all of y'all who nominated us. Uh, you can vote on the discover pods awards for whoever wins out of the finalists group up until November six. That's correct. November six. And there are some, like we said, some pretty killer podcasts on that list. So every single one of them is deserving of a discover pots award. Give them all a listen, if you can. And if we strike your fancy food butter, your parsnips, you, uh, smell what we're stepping in. You got until November 6th to say so. Yeah. I mean, and for those of you who are competing against meet me in the pit, just kidding. I, I can't speak for Jordan, but I know as you know, for me, I'm just really wildly overwhelmed and honored and all of the like mushy stuff. And so believe me, I've been just like dizzy with excitement at even being like on this list to begin with feeling is pretty mutual. Yeah. And so I joke because it's the only way I can make reality makes sense. Right now that being said, though, if any of you after this is over, obviously if any of you do want to like go into a pit and wrestle or like go Marsh somewhere, like I'm in comedy Dodge ball. That's what I'm saying. Comedy D yeah, no, that's fair. But uh, yeah, all that being said, thank you all so much. If you quick other things just as a, yet again, another reminder we are not going to record another episode until after the election. So stay tuned. It might be on our regular schedule and we could be back before, you know, it that second week in November, but also we want to give ourselves some space and I think y'all should also just give yourself some space, whatever happens. Yup. Take good care of yourselves. If you haven't nailed your ballot yet, don't put it in the mail, put it in a Dropbox. Or if you don't have a location Dropbox area near you ask for your absentee voter ballot to be invalidated and go vote in person, but also cannot stress enough, make sure you know, your state specific rules because it could vary, but the time for mail-in ballots has passed us. So just know that. And then the other quick thing, I've been forgetting to mention this, and it's been about two months, which like, I know, I know ADHD mood, but I was on an episode of job talk weekly with my new pal, Diana. I talked to her about targeting my job search and working through the job application and job hunting process with ADHD. And, uh, you know, it was just a real chill conversation. It's a real short episode and we'd love it. If you could just go support our new friend Diana over at job, talk a week. Yeah, she's great. And if you have ADHD, which listening to this podcast, there's a chance and are looking for a job. There's a strong team in this economy and there's a chance there's good information in there for ya. Yeah. And I will say the last couple of pieces of good news here. I updated my resume at that time with Diana and I now have a job. I know it's really, uh, the only downside is not being able to joke about unemployment on this podcast anymore, but for real, I'm very grateful and the good news kept coming in this weekend between being finalists and getting into a job and all that good stuff. Uh, my family welcomed yet another little bit Bay into the world. I have several nieces and nephews. All of them are wonderful and perfect and the best children on the planet. And, uh, I just want to say hello, little Henry, Timothy, you are so welcome in this world. And I'm so happy to have you. And I can't wait for you to be of age, to actually listen to this podcast. And one day here at Lex called you out and said, happy birthday, it's your first call up kiddo. Yeah. You're like two days killing the game already. Yeah, yeah. Right on. But yeah. So a lot of news to throw out you also, we wanted to just pop in and do this quick little bonus episode, but for real, after this, no more, no more. This was a, uh, our listeners can have little, a podcast as a treat a little podcast episode as just much, much, much. Thank you for that. Yeah. It's not as bad as that one episode. That's true. Anyways. Yeah. Thanks for tuning in. And we will drop the link to the discover pods awards and for your episode of job talk weekly on the social media. Yeah. We will also be linking our SoundCloud. Um, yeah, no, for real though. Uh, we'll have the link to the voting for the awards. Yes. Will turn into it. This is an ASM, our podcast. Listen to this part. Is you fall asleep tonight?
