Where I was, it was the Christmas of my first year of college. And I was home in Jacksonville. And I think I was just hanging out with my friends from high school. We were all back in town. And if I'm remembering correctly, we were just driving around. And I remember there were fireworks. So it was a sort of suburban... Seems dangerous to be driving on New Year's Eve.

But also sort of classic, if you can picture like a 90s movie. You just drive around with your friends and that's how you spent the past evening. Probably went to a gas station and got a stranger to buy you some Miller High Life and then just drank it in the car. And I was all by myself in the middle of a frozen lake. So if aliens had come down on Y2K, you were ready? Oh, I mean, I was a beacon.

I feel like I'm at an impasse here. Like, do I lie? No, no.

I do like to cook tempeh and tofu. I think I just don't cook... I'm going to revise the question to say my favorite meal to eat at home that I think is better at home than at a restaurant is a beautiful small steak and a really beautiful kale salad. And having those things prepared for me by someone else in the home environment, that's my number one.

And I could eat it, you know, seven nights a week. I really, I think it's wonderful. What about when you go to a restaurant, Phoebe?

Yeah, I think I would – I like to go out for dumplings. I also really like to go out for, like, fancy Neapolitan-style pizza. All right.

It's all about just the salt. I think if you really like salty foods, the simplicity of that tomato sauce and bread is so perfect. Phoebe, what from Donna, a question from Donna, what's your process for adding music to the episodes and who's responsible for picking the tracks? And then she's specifically curious, Phoebe, about your role in the final package.

And another producer joins at that phase also who's totally fresh to it and knows nothing about it.

But sometimes they're more ephemeral. Like, this song is kind of depressing under this funny moment in the story. Like, does it feel dissonant to anyone else? So you end up with sometimes five or six pages of time-stamped notes. notes. Some are really small technical and some are more big picture.
