[00:00:00]Brett: [00:00:00] My guest this week is Alex Cox, senior AAV producer at cards against humanity and a prolific podcaster. Welcome to the show, Alex.

[00:00:09]Alex: [00:00:09] Hello. Thank you so much for having me.

[00:00:12] Brett: [00:00:12] Again, actually, this is I think your second time, right?

[00:00:16] Alex: [00:00:16] yeah, the first time I was on, I threw up before and after we recorded, because I was so nervous and listening to that episode last night, I’m like, well, you know, it’s not the best, but you sure can’t tell how I want to vomit. And I should say the reason is. Because this has been such a formative show for me and to be on it a couple of years ago was just wild.

[00:00:42] And it’s still wild to be here. Thank you so much.

[00:00:47] Brett: [00:00:47] I love hearing that from you because you are an amazing, uh, con content producer. Um, my girlfriend has actually, you, you guys met briefly in Chicago,

[00:00:58] Alex: [00:00:58] Oh yeah. It was so [00:01:00] fun when people were allowed to hang out.

[00:01:04] Brett: [00:01:04] right. In large, large groups. But, uh, but she became a huge fan of yours. I shouldn’t make it sound like she’s the crazy fan girl, but she, she follows you very closely.

[00:01:15] She loved you. Um, she actually helped me come up with some of the questions on my slate today.

[00:01:20]Alex: [00:01:20] Oh, Oh boy.

[00:01:22] Brett: [00:01:22] So say hi, Elle.

[00:01:24]Alex: [00:01:24] Hi. Hi L I, I miss you. And I hope that one day we get to hang out in real life again.

[00:01:31] Brett: [00:01:31] That would be so much fun.

[00:01:32]Alex: [00:01:32] In 20, 29.
