I feel that no matter what happens, even if we get in a really bad disagreement, I could call you five minutes later to tell you about some funny thing I saw on Instagram and you would answer and we would be fine. It's just extremely compartmentalized into 50 compartments or something.
And I think I've said this before, but I also think that's because we weren't hired to make this show. We decided to make this show. I'll speak for myself. I feel a great sense of pride and a great sense of partnership with you in that way. We built this thing. People have come to listen. They've stayed to listen.
I think that's a specific type of bond that you don't have with a typical coworker or something or even a friend. We've We've had a real project together for more than 10 years now that we both care about maybe too much, you know?
All right, Phoebe. Jolene from South Dakota would like to know, what is your favorite non-essential invention? Not like computers or antibiotics, just small inventions you would not want to live without. And she says for her, it's Post-it notes and Kleenex.
What about you, Lauren? Hmm. I mean, all that I could think of, and this is kind of embarrassing, is I have an aura ring, one of those rings that like tracks... But it's certainly not essential. It's like absolutely useless. But it gives me pleasure every single day and pushes me to go to sleep earlier. So I get a kick out. I've had it for more than two years, and I get a kick out of it every day.
I think you would like the Oura Ring. I know it's really ugly. It's so ugly.
It's supposed to write on your pointer finger. That's your index finger.
It's a real look. It's a strong look. It's ugly. It's embarrassing. When I see other people wearing them, I'm like, okay, right, right. I'm participating in this. But I do love it. And, you know, you get a little fever. It tells you, like, it really detects.
And if you're exercising a lot, which you are, Phoebe, I think you would really enjoy keeping up with, like, how quickly your body recovers, how quickly your heart rate goes down. Can I have my Apple Watch? Sure, sure. Kiera wants to know, what is your very first memory? Wow, that's so hard.
Oh, gosh, I don't know. I do have a memory of like playing with kids on my street. I lived in this cul-de-sac. And I remember that, you know, there's like electrical transformer boxes. Yeah. Those green boxes. I remember this girl, this neighbor who was older than me saying, Smurfs live behind there. And I think that might be my earliest. I don't know how old I was.
I can remember that too.
I can remember the ceiling fan in my room had a chain that would like rub on the glass of the globe, but I liked the sound. Like it was a sort of soothing. So I can remember it still being light out. I'm trying to go to sleep and the sound of the ceiling fan and like staring up at the popcorn ceiling. Okay, we have a voicemail.
Maureen is asking about the status of your plantar fasciitis. How do you pronounce it?
The next question comes from Beth, and it's for me. As a fellow FSU alumna, what was Lauren's favorite part of being a student at FSU? Did you jump in Westcott on your first birthday there? That was a fountain. This is Florida State. Florida State University. There's a sort of a famous fountain. Well, Beth, I never jumped in the fountain. I never attended a football game.
I really, I would say my first birthday, I was probably crying. I was really, it took me like a full year to figure out what was going on at Florida State University. I remember I got there and my dorm was Brian Hall, which is a smaller dorm. And I was excited about that. It was also one of the newer dorms, so it was pretty nice. And then-
I remember I had made the decision that I wasn't going to rush for a sorority before I got to Florida State. I was very involved in theater, and that was what I was looking for. And then when it was time for everyone to go, I guess, to fraternity and sorority info sessions, I was the only person in my dorm. Every single person in my dorm was going to participate in Greek life.
And that was just a real wake-up call. And I think it took me a little while to find my footing there. at Florida State, but I did eventually find it by taking creative writing classes, which was amazing, and also by becoming a DJ at WVFS, the college radio station there, where I met amazing friends who I still talk to every single day.
So I was a late bloomer at Florida State, but thank you for asking. Okay, I think we are going to have to not get to all of our questions today, Phoebe, but I will. Here are two more from Angela in Cleveland. One, you guys discuss meat a lot. Would you ever consider becoming a vegetarian or a vegan?
Yes, and I think that I... If I were, you know, living my best life, I would not participate in any dairy products or meat products. But I do, I just really like hamburgers. And so at this exact moment, I'm going to keep eating them. But I do, in the future, when I get everything organized, I would prefer not to. And Phoebe, Angela also wants to know if your running routine changes for the winter.
Okay, well, we didn't get to everyone, and I apologize, but I think we have to move on to three favorite things because then we have to go to an edit. We have to go back to work.
