Michael Calore: Hey Lauren, how you doing?
Lauren Goode: Mike, I've been pondering the word tape.
Michael Calore: Because we're taping a podcast?
Lauren Goode: Because we say we're taping a podcast.
Michael Calore: Sure.
Lauren Goode: I don't think the kids know what that means.
Michael Calore: I mean, they may know what it means in the abstract, but I don't think they've had the visceral experience of actually recording something onto tape.
Lauren Goode: Onto tape and rewinding the tape. Be kind, rewind, all of that.
Michael Calore: Yep.
Lauren Goode: No, so I guess we're supposed to say we're recording a podcast now.
