180 - The Past Times with Naomi Ekperigin

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:01

Welcome to The Past Times. It's a podcast. [laughs] Someone's finally doing it. [laughs] Uh, you know what we do here. Each week, we go through a newspaper from a random date in history picked out by none other than Dave Anthony. I, Gareth Reynolds, have never seen it, and neither has this week's guest. Dave, this is a big one.

Dave Anthony· Host0:18

Mm-hmm.

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:19

She's back. We have the great Naomi Ekperigin. Naomi, you're back.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:26

Wow. This is huge to be back with my brothers.

Dave Anthony· Host0:30

There we are.

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:30

You are.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:30

To be back with my family.

Dave Anthony· Host0:32

Yeah.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:33

Thank you so much for having me.

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:35

People are gonna lose it. It's been a while.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:37

I mean, it's been a while.

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:39

We- Okay, can we let the record show too?

Dave Anthony· Host0:40

Yeah. Yeah, you can let the record show.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:41

I, the last time I was supposed to do it, there was, like, the internet outage on your end, right?

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:44

Yes. Yeah.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest0:44

So we didn't do it, but then I got in my head because there was no reschedule, and I was like- Okay ... "Okay, they're done with me. They're done with me."

Gareth Reynolds· Host0:50

You know, I, you want me to be totally honest? I think sometimes you're better than this show, and I'm not kidding. [laughs] Sometime- I swear to God, sometimes I'm like, "She's busy. She's just doing so much."

Dave Anthony· Host1:00

Yeah.

Gareth Reynolds· Host1:00

We don't... She doesn't... She loved it at one point, but she's so busy. Um- We didn't know you had so much time on your hands. We... No, Naomi, we've talked about- [laughs] Dave. No, shut up, Dan. Be quiet. We've t- [laughs] We've, we've talked about this before. If, if, if at one point we're like, "You know what? This show, we gotta bring in a third character for this show," there is... If we held it to a vote, it would be you.

Dave Anthony· Host1:25

Mm-hmm.

Gareth Reynolds· Host1:25

And if that vote was just Dave and I, it would be you.

Dave Anthony· Host1:27

Yeah, true.

Naomi Ekperigin· Guest1:28

[laughs] The highest,
