Alex Vrahas 0:01
Now WNWR. Reports across the globe from What's News With You. With comedians Josh Johnson and Ashley Gavin. And you are reporters in the field. What's news with you?
Ashley Gavin 0:22
Well, actually, Josh, I'm gonna get right into it 'cause I'm sick to my stomach. Oh. I have huge news.
Josh Johnson 0:29
Really?
Ashley Gavin 0:29
Massive, devastating news. Oh. For I so last night I'm going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next week. Okay. This will not come out in time to promote it.
Josh Johnson 0:40
Okay.
Ashley Gavin 0:41
So this this news is for the love of the news.
Josh Johnson 0:43
Mm-hmm.
Ashley Gavin 0:45
Gosh, I hope this doesn't upset people too much. I worked on a promotional email to send to everybody to let them know that I'm going to Edinburgh French Festival for a couple days. For some reason, I don't know why, but my mail chimp. Somehow. Repl I like changed my billing settings and it replaced that email that I was sending to Europe about the Edinburgh Fringe Fest Festival with a draft of my US tour dates from like over a year ago that I was sending to Americans. And this morning at five in the fucking morning, it emailed 25,000 people tour dates from a year.
Olivia Maher 1:31
Yeah.
Ashley Gavin 1:32
Instead of me emailing people in the UK about my Edinburgh show, I just emailed Twenty-five thousand people the wrong information.
Josh Johnson 1:42
Dated,
Ashley Gavin 1:43
dated information.
Josh Johnson 1:44
So okay, help me out.
Ashley Gavin 1:46
I'm so upset right now. Literally sick to my stomach.
Josh Johnson 1:50
I mean we can we can recover this. This is this is I don't
Ashley Gavin 1:53
think so.
Josh Johnson 1:54
Yeah. Okay. So help me out. Was this MailChimp's fault? Because you changed the billing, did something change, and then they didn't tell you and then they
Ashley Gavin 2:02
I th I think I know what happened.
Josh Johnson 2:05
Okay.
Ashley Gavin 2:05
I think the draft title of the email, I hadn't like changed it yet. And somehow like it didn't do what it normally does to like separate emails and stuff like that.
Josh Johnson 2:18
Old and new. Yeah, I think I
Ashley Gavin 2:19
think something got overwritten basically.
Josh Johnson 2:21
Do you delete the old ones. What
Ashley Gavin 2:25
is your fucking problem?
Josh Johnson 2:25
I'm no, I'm asking 'cause I'm I'm I'm trying to figure out how this happened. So 'cause you just I'm
Ashley Gavin 2:30
not a hundred percent sure.
Josh Johnson 2:31
Okay. Because what you can do is hit up MailChimp and be like, hey, this this is like you're so right
Ashley Gavin 2:38
I'm gonna get a credit.
Josh Johnson 2:39
This is this is a huge mistake. I don't know what happened here, but this is insane. And it just sent twenty five thousand people the wrong email. Then you get MailChimp to give you a credit. Then you send an email out and you're like, Hey, uh, you know jokes. That last one was one, and I'm actually gonna be in Edinburgh.
Ashley Gavin 3:01
We're gonna have
Josh Johnson 3:02
a great time. Y'all, oh life is funny.
Ashley Gavin 3:05
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna send a follow-up email.
Josh Johnson 3:07
Yeah.
Ashley Gavin 3:08
I just need to figure out. ha what to title it and how to apologize.
Josh Johnson 3:13
I mean, well, shouldn't it just
Ashley Gavin 3:14
Sorry I lied about my tour dates.
Josh Johnson 3:16
Well I mean you didn't lie. They've
Ashley Gavin 3:18
already all happened.
Josh Johnson 3:20
Yeah. Hey, blast from the past. Um remember when
Ashley Gavin 3:24
Hey, time machine.
Josh Johnson 3:25
Yeah. The 'cause here's the thing.
Ashley Gavin 3:28
I went back and I killed Hitler and it accidentally sent too many emails.
Josh Johnson 3:32
I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is you are never gonna make those dates anyway. The good news is that I'm coming to Edinburgh. You know? Yeah. I mean
Ashley Gavin 3:41
I wasn't meaning to send an email to any Americans is the issue. But No,
Josh Johnson 3:45
I know.
Ashley Gavin 3:45
I guess what I could do is go in and plug my current tour dates. You know. And be like, didn't mean to send you that email. So sorry. If you're confused, these are my actual tour dates. Also, I'm going to Edinburgh.
Josh Johnson 4:00
Do they buy them through your website? I put
Ashley Gavin 4:04
