lmfao!!!! literally loling, died at β€œPlease, please, Mr. McKenzie was my father. Call me β€˜Sir’.” And basically this is a documentary; it’s like you’ve been embedded. (Honestly the only real delta is that we’re rarely all together; about 70% of the company is remote, so we rarely get to have fun walk and talk / all hands on deck moments!).

"Call me Sir" was my favorite line of this whole thing, glad you caught it! I think the Algorithm breaking would be enough to call in the remotes. Thanks for reading, gratified you got a laugh out of it!

Today, I am stealing this:

β€œPlease, please, Mr. McKenzie was my father. Call me β€˜Sir’.”

I'm going to use it in real life, but with my own last name thrown in there.

Yoink!

If I had a million dollars, first I'd pay off my student loans and medical debt (our family's got stuff, and then I'd spring for a soft drink or something. A billion, now, with that I could get a McDuck pool, and that I would put on a little island with my family, and on the next island over I'd put a library and wi-fi. :)

I would respond to this, but... does Substack HQ have angels/superheroes and/or space otters? I wonder.

Smart to put both the library and wifi on the other island!

Scoot have you ever listened to Cabin Pressure? Seems like your sense of humor, and James and I need other people to listen to it and get our dumb jokes.

Never heard of it, but sounds like a great recommendation! How can I listen to it?

Audible, Overdrive, or Sound Cloud! It’s the one by John Finnemore and there’s four seasons!

Looking into it! Thank you very much!

If I had a million dollars I'd just spend it on the finest whiskey at the Substack Community Relations bar... drinks on me!

That was fun, Scoot. I'm just getting to know some of the crew by news and some of their posts. But, speculation is afoot!

I did Google the building and it looks like the cafe is cool. Be definitely buying a pastry and coffee! β˜•οΈ

1. It is! It's taken a while for me to get used to, but I do love that about Substack.

2. If I had a million dollars I'd probably invest it in Real State, a house with a pool in it. It's hot in AZ.

3. I would order a "Paper plane," because it is a great cocktail.
