Foe, Hey, best friend your year?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Oh my god, we finally did it. I'm finally did
so nervous about exams.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I thought we made a pack that we weren't going

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm like, so nervous.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Stop freaking me out.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Okay, you're right, Let's get back to scrap booking and
making pancakes.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay, sorry, can I play the new Future album?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Do you mind?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You're crazy. I love your questionable choices in music and
boys and fashion. College is insane.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, guys, it's book day.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Who are we doing? You know what?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm actually not gonna call her the bravest girl in
the world, because she's more than that. She wasn't like
being reduced to brave.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
She's more than being brave. You know her from getting
shot in the head by the Taliban.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You know her for opening a school in Afghanistan.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
You know her from her tireless advocacy for women and
girdles around the world at many different organizations and corporate functions.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You might know her for being what's that a Nobel
Peace winner.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, sorry, Donald drump I guess you didn't win that cheeto.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Today is not your day because we are celebrating an
iconic girl boss and fan of the Summer. I turn pretty.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Was were gonna say a fan of the pod because
she watched your story. So she watched my story last
night because I added her. We know you're listening right now.
Hate Gerlee. She doesn't even need a last name. You
know her e lover. Give it up for Mama and
her book, Finding My Way three pounds off at Waterstones.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
If you're at the Waterstone station, get it. I paid
like full lass price, but local bookstore, which I feel
like Malala would appreciate.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I feel like she'd just not give a fuck about
a local bookstore. She's she's like I.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Met with Lauren Sanchez yesterday and we actually advocated for
a new workshop with Microsoft Adobe to give out samples
of Photoshop to girls in Syria.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
All she is doing is handing out chromebooks left and right.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Her bedroom is just stocked with chromebooks.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's kind of insane. She wasn't on that like space flight.
I feel like that was so her coded it is,
but I feel like that might trigger her. Oh yeah, yeah,
just like the bong rep triggered her. Exactly. We'll get into.
We'll get into.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Do you mind if I just hop in and read
a little passage just to get us going? Do dive in,
just to place everyone? This is her right before going
to Oxford summer ooh, summer before college. I can't say
I had a clear personal style at the time, but
I knew I absolutely could not go to Oxford dress
like a set of Neon highlighters. So while my mom
(03:13):
was out shopping, I googled what to wear to college
twenty seventeen and ordered what I saw in the pictures jeans,
striped teas, a quilted bomber jacket. A search for quote
unquote Selena Gomez Casual led me to oversized cardigans and
Adida's superstars, chunky knit scarves, embroidered sweatshirts, a black dress
(03:34):
with bellsleeves, and several pairs of Anglicans were all squirrelled
away awaiting their debut.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Googling Selena Gomez Casual is crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a crazy genius too, to be like Selena Gomez. No,
not the red carpet stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I mean she kind of clocked herself down on that
one because she was like, Okay, what do I do?
I am like this conservative Muslim girl who got shot
in a head.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
