2023.06.05 16:04 unavailable4coffee How We Made A Podcast
![]() | Written by Ryan Lewis, Staff Software Engineer, Developer Platform submitted by unavailable4coffee to RedditEng [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/36qava5ob74b1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=b97b39970eb1dee66995c3cd1f1397dee91253d5 Hi Reddit 👋 You may have noticed that at the beginning of the year, we started producing a monthly podcast focusing on how Reddit works internally. It’s called Building Reddit! If you haven’t listened yet, check it out on all the podcasting platforms (Apple, Spotify, etc.) and on YouTube. Today, I wanted to give you some insight into how the podcast came together. No, this isn’t a podcast about a podcast. That would open a wormhole to another dimension. Instead, I’ll walk you through how Building Reddit came to be and what it looks like to put together an episode. The Road to Building RedditBefore I started working here, Reddit had experimented with podcasts a few times. These were all produced for employees and only released internally. There has been a lot of interest in an official podcast from Reddit, especially an Engineering one, for some time.I knew none of this when I started at the company. But as I learned more about how Reddit worked, the idea for an engineering podcast started to form in my brain. The company already had a fantastic engineering blog with many talented employees talking about how they built stuff, so an audio version seemed like a great companion. So, last fall, for our biannual engineering free-for-all Snoosweek, I put together a proof of concept for an engineering podcast. Thankfully, I work on a very cool project, Developer Platform, so I just interviewed members of my team. What I hadn’t anticipated was having 13 hours of raw audio that needed to be edited down to an hour-long episode… within two days. In the end, it came together and I shared it with the company. The original cover image. Thanks to Knut! Enter the Reddit Engineering Branding Team (the kind souls who make this blog run and who organize Snoosweek). Lisa, Chief of Staff to the CTO, contacted me and we started putting together ideas for a regular podcast. The goal: Show the world how Reddit builds things. In addition to Lisa and the Engineering Branding Team, we joined forces with Nick, a Senior Communications Associate, who helped us perfect the messaging and tone for the podcast. In December, we decided on three episodes to launch with: fixthevideoplayer, [email protected]: Engineering Manager, and Reddit Recap. We drew up outlines for each episode and identified the employees to interview. While the audio was being put together for those episodes, Nick connected us to OrangeRed, the amazing branding team at Reddit. They worked with us to create the cover image, visual assets, and fancy motion graphics for the podcast visualization videos. OrangeRed even helped pick out the perfect background music! Producing three episodes at once was a tall order, but all three debuted on Feb. 7th. Since then, we’ve kept up a monthly cadence for the podcast. The first Tuesday of every month is our target to release new episodes. A Day In The Life of an EpisodeSo how does an episode of the podcast actually come together? I break it down into five steps: Ideation, Planning, Recording, Editing, Review.Building Reddit episode calendar Ideation is where someone has an idea for an episode. This could be based on a new feature, focusing on a person or role for a [email protected] episode, or a technical/cultural topic. Some of these ideas I come up with myself, but more often they come from others on the Reddit Engineering Branding team. As ideas come up, we add them to a list, usually at the end unless there’s some time element to it (for example the Security Incident episode that comes out tomorrow!). As of right now, we have over 30 episode ideas on the list! For ideas higher on the list, we assign a date for when the episode would be published. This helps us make sure we’re balancing the types of episodes too. A podcast episode outline When an episode is getting close to publication, usually a month or two in advance, I create an outline document to help me plan the episode. Jameson, a Principal Engineer, developed the template for the outline for the first episode. The things I put in there are who I could talk to, what their job functions are (I try to get a mix of engineering, product, design, comms, marketing, etc), and a high-level description of the episode. From there, I’ll do some research on the topic from external comms or internal documents, and then build a rough outline of the kinds of topics I want to talk about. These will be broken down further into questions for each person I’ll be interviewing. I also try to tell some type of story with each episode, so it makes sense as you listen to it. That’s usually why I interview product managers first on feature episodes (eg. Reddit Recap, Collectible Avatars). They’re usually good about giving some background to the feature and explaining the reasoning behind why Reddit wanted to build it. The tools of the trade I reach out to the interviewees over Slack to make sure they want to be interviewed and to provide some prep information. Then I schedule an hour-long meeting for each person to do the interview over Zoom. Recording over Zoom works quite well because you can configure it to record each person’s audio separately. This is essential to being able to mix the audio. Also, it’s very important that each person wears headphones, so their microphone doesn’t pick up the audio from my voice (or try to noise cancel it which reduces the audio quality). The recording sessions are usually pretty straightforward. I run through the questions I’ve prepared and occasionally ask follow-ups or clarifying questions if I’m curious about something. Usually, I can get everything I need from each person in one session, but occasionally I’ll go back and ask more questions. Editing a podcast in Adobe Audition Once all the audio is recorded, it’s time to shut my office door and do some editing. First I go through each person’s interview and clean it up, removing any comments or noises around their audio. As I do this, I’ll work on the script for my parts between the interviewee’s audio. Sometimes these are just the questions that I asked the person, but often I’ll try to add something to it so it flows better. Once I’ve finished cleaning up and sequencing the interviewee audio, I work on my script a little more and then record all of my parts. Two views of my office with all the sound blankets up. Reverb be gone! As you can see in the photo of my office above, I hang large sound blankets to remove as much reverb as I can. If I don’t put these up, it would sound like I was in an empty room with lots of echo. When I record my parts, I always stand up. This gives my voice a little more energy and somehow just sounds better than sitting. Once my audio is complete, I edit those parts in with the other audio, add the intro/outro music, and do some final level adjustments for each part. It’s important to make sure that everyone’s voices are at about the same level. Sharing the podcast over Slack Although I listen to each mixed episode closely, getting feedback and review from others is essential. I try to get the first mix completed a week or two before the publication date to allow for people to review it and for me to incorporate any feedback. I always send it to the interviewees beforehand, so they can hear it before the rest of the world does. Putting it All TogetherCreating the podcast video. *No doges were harmedSo, we have a finished episode. Now what? The next thing I do is to take the audio and render a video file from it. OrangeRed made a wonderful template that I can just plug the audio into (and change the title text). Then the viewer is treated to some meme-y visuals while they listen to the podcast. I upload the video file to our YouTube channel, and also to our Spotify for Podcasters portal (formerly Anchor.fm). Spotify for Podcasters handles the podcast distribution, so uploading it to that will also publish it out to all the various podcast platforms (this had to be set up manually in the beginning, but is automatic after that). Some platforms support video podcasts, which is why I use the video file. Spotify extracts the audio and distributes that to platforms that don’t support video. The last step after uploading and scheduling the episode is to write up and schedule a quick post for this community (example). And then I can sit back and… get ready for next month’s episode! It’s always nice to see an episode out the door, and everyone at Reddit is incredibly supportive of the podcast! So what do you think? Does it sound cool to build Building Reddit? If so, check out the open positions on our careers page. And be on the lookout for our new episode tomorrow. Thanks for listening (reading)! |

![]() | She's into superstitions’ submitted by AustralianChrono to ChronologicasDragRace [link] [comments] Omari jumps to the side and throws a wink, as he starts buzzing with energy, pointing to Zazu as she twirls around with a grin on her face. New kicks in the candlelight Zazu kicks her feet into the air before dropping into a split, as Omari hits the floor with a BOOM at the same time, as the others gasp. King Omari Star: “Oh, I see you Zazu. I’m not going down without a fight.” She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain Omari whips off his cape, revealing his look beneath as he glitters through the stage, moving in fast succession to the beat. Come on! The two move in quick succession, both giving their all as Zazu spins around into a flip, and Omari jumps onto the floor with a grin. Yeah, she'll make you go insane Zazu winks, ripping off her wig to reveal another beneath as Chronologica gasps, death dropping in furious fashion. Gotta, gotta, gotta la vida loca! Two competitors, both giving their all, end with a boom as Omari poses, Zazu hits the floor and the other racers excitedly clap. … … Wow. … … … Shantay… you both stay. Omari and Zazu gasp, as Zazu responds by cheering and Omari grins. King Omari Star: “A double save has only been done once before, and this feels fantastic. I had fun with it, and I'm proud.” You’re both still here. Now, dance, AND LET THE MUSIC PLAY! ~ https://preview.redd.it/guowyd0ff74b1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=2a4b629d015939345bb4ce7e3ae357c6f640f8ef The competitors walk into the werkroom. “No message tonight!” Zazu cheers, Omari looking at her with a smile. The two sit down, along with the other racers. Omari extends his hand, as Zazu holds it with a smile. “Yes.” Omari smiles. “Okay, enough hand holding.” Zazu giggles. “I didn’t even know this really was a thing, wow.” Jaslene shrugs. “I thought it was a one off with Kraven.” “And a bad choice, at that.” Fiore responds. “You both gave your all.” Granny smiles. “And truly, I do think it couldn’t have gone either way. It was a tie.” “I mean…” Aguacate giggles. “I’d lie, but I actually did enjoy your show.” “Thank you.” Omari nods. “I had such fun.” Zazu grins. “I don’t think… has anyone survived three lip syncs before?” “Nope, no one has.” Crayola responds. “The gaggeroni.” Yasmin beams. “Wow.” Zazu smiles. “I am just-” Omari exhales. “So pleased to be here, and you know, I’m going to fucking come for you all- but I’m excited to do it my way. I’ve been rigid-” Omari looks at Jaslene. Jaslene smirks. “But this lip sync was a wakeup call. You know, enjoy the ride. That’s the fun part.” Omari responds. “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Aguacate winks. “Exactly.” Omari purses his lips. “And let’s congratulate our two winners, Yasmin and Crayola…” The others clap. “I really do want to say, whilst it is a double win, I expected you to win solo, Yasmin.” Crayola nods. The others look confused. Jaslene Bangus: “Girl, you just congratulate the other person, and put your own performance down… why? Why make yourself look worse?!” “Well, thank you.” Yasmin smiles. “I feel pleased and happy that I’m here, I’m giving my all and I finally got a win!” Everyone grins, before Fiore stands up. “I’d love to chat, well, I wouldn’t, so I’m going to de-drag.” “Oop.” Yasmin responds. Fiore Stravaganza: “Last week, I was part of a duo.” “My girl…” Jaslene chuckles. Fiore Stravaganza: “But real talk, it’s time we’re over. I need to win. And I need to do it… solo.” Fiore de-drags, delicately placing her wig on the mannequin. Fiore Stravaganza: “It’s my time.” ~ The Next Day, Yasmin passes bread around to the racers. “Just… bread?” Crayola asks. “Bite into it.” Yasmin smirks. “Bite… bite into the bread?” Crayola asks. “Okay, I'm sure there’s a trick.” Jaslene says, putting down her bread. “I don’t eat carbs anyway.” “Neither do I.” Fiore responds, putting down her bread. “I fucking love carbs.” Omari bites into the bread, a dash of jam spurting over his chest. “Jam filled treats!” Yasmin cheers. “I love baking.” “Oh, you want to win again.” Granny chuckles. Yasmin giggles. You’ve got drag mail! Get into the house. GET INTO THE HOUSE! “The house?” Aguacate raises an eyebrow. “It’s Drag Time!” Rachelle Mirage yells. Everyone gasps. “Hi Racers! Chronologica has had some pressing business to attend to, so unfortunately will NOT be here this week. Instead, I’ll be hosting!” Everyone cheers. “Racers, it’s time for an IMPROV CHALLENGE!” Rachelle Mirage cheers. Aguacate gasps. Aguacate: “I am a fabulous comedic Queen!” “You all will be entering the BIG MOTHER house. Prepare yourself for entry into the house, wherein you will have to make me and the judges laugh, with quick wit, fun times and truth. They’ll be a range of adventures as you live together for “24 hours”, but I also want to see you bare your soul. Be real! Make me laugh… and have fun.” Yasmin Raiz: “I am excited for this challenge. It’s one I know I can do well, and we get to live together!” “Good luck, racers… and do not fuck it up!” ~ The racers chat around the table as they get ready for the challenge. “How do we all feel about this challenge?” Jaslene purses her lips. Jaslene Bangus: “I’m aware I bombed a comedy challenge. I want to prove that it was a fluke.” “I feel prepared.” Fiore nods. “I think I can do well.” “You always do, loca.” Aguacate giggles. “No, babe… you were the loca one.” Fiore smirks. “I feel quite excited.” Omari grins. “You know, I don’t clearly do well with a planned structured… hosting moment. But I feel as if I can do it this week.” King Omari Star: “I’m aware I need to boost my comedic chops. This is an opportunity to showcase it.” “I agree.” Zazu smiles. “It’s totally, like a fun one… and I can’t wait to get into the pretty house…” “I’m going to be cooking us ALL the stuff.” Yasmin grins. “And on my witty knees.” “You love to be on your knees.” Aguacate smirks. Yasmin winks. “This will be lovely.” Granny says. “To me, it’s a fun opportunity to really sit and enjoy myself.” “I agree.” Crayola responds. “I have a joke or two, ya’know to respond to.” “What’s the joke?” Omari raises an eyebrow. “...Oh, class, just wait and see, Mrs Boxx is going to have a ton of fun.” Crayola winks. Aguacate: “Crayola- in theory, should be a funny Queen. She certainly is funny looking. But think of her like that. She’s not funny.” Crayola giggles. Aguacate: “She’s just a teacher. And in a challenge about being you AND making us laugh? Oof.” Meanwhile, Jaslene walks over to Fiore. “I wanted to chat…” Jaslene grins. “This is a good challenge for us to bounce off each other.” “Mhm?” Fiore asks. “We play off. We enjoy each other, we joke, we have fun with it that way.” Jaslene says. “In many ways, a protective blanket- an asset to each other.” “That’s an idea.” Fiore nods. “You know, us A.E Girls? Sticking together?” Jaslene winks. “Hmm.” Fiore purses her lips. “I think we should work solo. Last week, the music groups… didn’t work together. So I love the idea, but… Meh.” Fiore responds. Jaslene Bangus: “Thanks, sis.” “Okay, I'll focus on this solo.” Jaslene shrugs. “Good idea.” Fiore smiles. Jaslene rolls her eyes in her confessional. ~ Rachelle goes to visit the racers. “Hi, Zazu!” Rachelle waves. “Chronologica!” Zazu grins. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “What kitchen?” Zazu looks at Rachelle, confused. “Okay, that was a joke for you to take.” Rachelle laughs. “OH!” Zazu looks surprised. “Now, the other comedic challenges you have bottomed. What will you be doing here to stop that.” “I’m here to just…” Zazu purses her lips. “I am not sure.” Zazu Nova: “Can I get a break? Can I get a break please? Where is the makeover?!” “You naturally have a fun attitude. I want you to drive into that…” Rachelle says nervously. “Can you do that?” Zazu nods. “I’ll try my best.” Rachelle nods. … “Hi Granny!” Rachelle smiles. “Hello dear.” Granny grins back. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “I hope we all can.” Granny nods. “Hmm.” Rachelle eyes Granny, pondering. “Granny. You’re a sweet soul.” “Oh, my dear- I just want to have a lovely time.” Granny nods. “This is a challenge about showing up and really enjoying yourself, but also being a STRONG presence. I think you’re funny, but I also think- your response just indicates to me, that kind soul- which I LOVE, could get in the way.” “Mhm.” Granny purses her lips. “If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you hit the others with it?” “Oh…” Granny shakes her head. “Now I don’t know about all that…” “YES.” Rachelle yells. “The answer is yes.” Granny stares awkwardly. “I’m going to need you to really try and steal the show. Make yourself the priority.” “Noted.” Granny nods. … “Hello, Aguacate!” “My Latina Sister who is not Latina, and sometimes, I ponder, not a woman!” Aguacate yells. Rachelle cackles. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “Darling.” Aguacate extends her arms. “I will bring such a level of spice, you will shit yourself.” Rachelle gasps, before doubling over in laughter. “What?” Aguacate looks at Rachelle. “You can’t handle this? I thought you were the Queen of taking it?” Rachelle blushes, before continuing to giggle. “Darling…” Aguacate grins. “I feel ready for this challenge.” “I asked this question earlier, but- If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you topple the others with it?” “I’ve never been the one to top, but for you? I’d make an exception.” Aguacate nods. “That’s what I want to hear.” Rachelle grins. ~ The racers all walk into the Big Mother House. “Thank god for silk pajamas.” Omari raises his hands in the air, stretching. “This house is quaint.” Granny smiles. “FOOD!” Aguacate yells, running over to a charcuterie board, before stuffing a little sausage in her mouth. “Of course, she can sniff out the sausage.” Omari smirks. “What is a charcuterie board, if not a pizza without a base?” Crayola jokes. Nobody laughs. “This is lovely!” Granny smiles. “Oooh…” Zazu looks at a mirror. “What’s this-” Zazu touches the frame, as the house starts flashing wild lights. “OH MY GOD!” “WE’RE GONNA DIE!” Aguacate yells. “Someone hand me an axe!” Aguacate screams. “I’m going to kill you.” Omari looks at Aguacate. “Please, kill her!” Fiore smirks. “Guys, let's calm down…” Granny looks at each other with a smile. “Embrace the chaos, Granny.” Aguacate winks. The lights stop flashing, and Yasmin smiles. “Oooh, this is going to be a long night ahead.” “We are not going to sleep tonight.” Crayola responds. “Oh, like…” Zazu looks at the others. “What do we do?” “Let’s talk about the deep sadness inside of us all.” Yasmin smiles, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate. “...Let’s not!” Aguacate laughs. “I worry sometimes about my family dying. That I will do something- trigger an audience, be too queer, too gay- and they’ll face the consequences.” Yasmin nods. “That… my existence puts them at risk.” “Ooft.” Fiore looks into the camera. “I worry about my school kids. That as a teacher, as a gay man- people will think I’m a bad thing.” Crayola says. “I exist and am proudly me, but the world is homophobic and… I worry I've come here and no one will get it. Instead, I'll be a joke.” “You’re not a joke, dear.” Granny says, looking at Crayola. “I feel the same.” Jaslene nods. The others look surprised. “You know, I’ve been floating.” Jaslene says. “But I made a career for myself out of nothing in the Philippines. I was a girl who sold herself- was used for her body for many years.” The others look speechless. “But I became a star. And I want to show that here.” Jaslene nods. “Even if I do it alone.” Fiore eyes Jaslene. “I… feel the same.” Zazu tears up. “I’ve been scared.” Omari sighs. “I don’t have many friends in the community. Many of mine died, of diseases, of drugs- living as a lesbian in a world where your gay friends died taught me love and embracing those around you wasn’t worth it.” Jaslene nods, looking at Omari. “But you know? Fuck it. I’m here, I’m going to…” Omari looks to the side, noticing an inflatable sword. “Slay that shit. And embrace where I am here. And you know, this is a good place to be real.” “Damn right.” Jaslene nods. “I’m not talking deep.” Aguacate responds. “Agreed.” Fiore adds. “Well, sword fight?” Omari smirks. “I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK!” Aguacate yells. ~ Stats Voting Spreadsheet |
2023.06.05 15:50 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 8- Big Mother
![]() | She's into superstitions’ submitted by AustralianChrono to RPDRfantasyseason [link] [comments] Omari jumps to the side and throws a wink, as he starts buzzing with energy, pointing to Zazu as she twirls around with a grin on her face. New kicks in the candlelight Zazu kicks her feet into the air before dropping into a split, as Omari hits the floor with a BOOM at the same time, as the others gasp. King Omari Star: “Oh, I see you Zazu. I’m not going down without a fight.” She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain Omari whips off his cape, revealing his look beneath as he glitters through the stage, moving in fast succession to the beat. Come on! The two move in quick succession, both giving their all as Zazu spins around into a flip, and Omari jumps onto the floor with a grin. Yeah, she'll make you go insane Zazu winks, ripping off her wig to reveal another beneath as Chronologica gasps, death dropping in furious fashion. Gotta, gotta, gotta la vida loca! Two competitors, both giving their all, end with a boom as Omari poses, Zazu hits the floor and the other racers excitedly clap. … … Wow. … … … Shantay… you both stay. Omari and Zazu gasp, as Zazu responds by cheering and Omari grins. King Omari Star: “A double save has only been done once before, and this feels fantastic. I had fun with it, and I'm proud.” You’re both still here. Now, dance, AND LET THE MUSIC PLAY! ~ https://preview.redd.it/wjfwhh9ef74b1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d48506c3fbecb90c31d4dedcdd63fb1d1559142 The competitors walk into the werkroom. “No message tonight!” Zazu cheers, Omari looking at her with a smile. The two sit down, along with the other racers. Omari extends his hand, as Zazu holds it with a smile. “Yes.” Omari smiles. “Okay, enough hand holding.” Zazu giggles. “I didn’t even know this really was a thing, wow.” Jaslene shrugs. “I thought it was a one off with Kraven.” “And a bad choice, at that.” Fiore responds. “You both gave your all.” Granny smiles. “And truly, I do think it couldn’t have gone either way. It was a tie.” “I mean…” Aguacate giggles. “I’d lie, but I actually did enjoy your show.” “Thank you.” Omari nods. “I had such fun.” Zazu grins. “I don’t think… has anyone survived three lip syncs before?” “Nope, no one has.” Crayola responds. “The gaggeroni.” Yasmin beams. “Wow.” Zazu smiles. “I am just-” Omari exhales. “So pleased to be here, and you know, I’m going to fucking come for you all- but I’m excited to do it my way. I’ve been rigid-” Omari looks at Jaslene. Jaslene smirks. “But this lip sync was a wakeup call. You know, enjoy the ride. That’s the fun part.” Omari responds. “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Aguacate winks. “Exactly.” Omari purses his lips. “And let’s congratulate our two winners, Yasmin and Crayola…” The others clap. “I really do want to say, whilst it is a double win, I expected you to win solo, Yasmin.” Crayola nods. The others look confused. Jaslene Bangus: “Girl, you just congratulate the other person, and put your own performance down… why? Why make yourself look worse?!” “Well, thank you.” Yasmin smiles. “I feel pleased and happy that I’m here, I’m giving my all and I finally got a win!” Everyone grins, before Fiore stands up. “I’d love to chat, well, I wouldn’t, so I’m going to de-drag.” “Oop.” Yasmin responds. Fiore Stravaganza: “Last week, I was part of a duo.” “My girl…” Jaslene chuckles. Fiore Stravaganza: “But real talk, it’s time we’re over. I need to win. And I need to do it… solo.” Fiore de-drags, delicately placing her wig on the mannequin. Fiore Stravaganza: “It’s my time.” ~ The Next Day, Yasmin passes bread around to the racers. “Just… bread?” Crayola asks. “Bite into it.” Yasmin smirks. “Bite… bite into the bread?” Crayola asks. “Okay, I'm sure there’s a trick.” Jaslene says, putting down her bread. “I don’t eat carbs anyway.” “Neither do I.” Fiore responds, putting down her bread. “I fucking love carbs.” Omari bites into the bread, a dash of jam spurting over his chest. “Jam filled treats!” Yasmin cheers. “I love baking.” “Oh, you want to win again.” Granny chuckles. Yasmin giggles. You’ve got drag mail! Get into the house. GET INTO THE HOUSE! “The house?” Aguacate raises an eyebrow. “It’s Drag Time!” Rachelle Mirage yells. Everyone gasps. “Hi Racers! Chronologica has had some pressing business to attend to, so unfortunately will NOT be here this week. Instead, I’ll be hosting!” Everyone cheers. “Racers, it’s time for an IMPROV CHALLENGE!” Rachelle Mirage cheers. Aguacate gasps. Aguacate: “I am a fabulous comedic Queen!” “You all will be entering the BIG MOTHER house. Prepare yourself for entry into the house, wherein you will have to make me and the judges laugh, with quick wit, fun times and truth. They’ll be a range of adventures as you live together for “24 hours”, but I also want to see you bare your soul. Be real! Make me laugh… and have fun.” Yasmin Raiz: “I am excited for this challenge. It’s one I know I can do well, and we get to live together!” “Good luck, racers… and do not fuck it up!” ~ The racers chat around the table as they get ready for the challenge. “How do we all feel about this challenge?” Jaslene purses her lips. Jaslene Bangus: “I’m aware I bombed a comedy challenge. I want to prove that it was a fluke.” “I feel prepared.” Fiore nods. “I think I can do well.” “You always do, loca.” Aguacate giggles. “No, babe… you were the loca one.” Fiore smirks. “I feel quite excited.” Omari grins. “You know, I don’t clearly do well with a planned structured… hosting moment. But I feel as if I can do it this week.” King Omari Star: “I’m aware I need to boost my comedic chops. This is an opportunity to showcase it.” “I agree.” Zazu smiles. “It’s totally, like a fun one… and I can’t wait to get into the pretty house…” “I’m going to be cooking us ALL the stuff.” Yasmin grins. “And on my witty knees.” “You love to be on your knees.” Aguacate smirks. Yasmin winks. “This will be lovely.” Granny says. “To me, it’s a fun opportunity to really sit and enjoy myself.” “I agree.” Crayola responds. “I have a joke or two, ya’know to respond to.” “What’s the joke?” Omari raises an eyebrow. “...Oh, class, just wait and see, Mrs Boxx is going to have a ton of fun.” Crayola winks. Aguacate: “Crayola- in theory, should be a funny Queen. She certainly is funny looking. But think of her like that. She’s not funny.” Crayola giggles. Aguacate: “She’s just a teacher. And in a challenge about being you AND making us laugh? Oof.” Meanwhile, Jaslene walks over to Fiore. “I wanted to chat…” Jaslene grins. “This is a good challenge for us to bounce off each other.” “Mhm?” Fiore asks. “We play off. We enjoy each other, we joke, we have fun with it that way.” Jaslene says. “In many ways, a protective blanket- an asset to each other.” “That’s an idea.” Fiore nods. “You know, us A.E Girls? Sticking together?” Jaslene winks. “Hmm.” Fiore purses her lips. “I think we should work solo. Last week, the music groups… didn’t work together. So I love the idea, but… Meh.” Fiore responds. Jaslene Bangus: “Thanks, sis.” “Okay, I'll focus on this solo.” Jaslene shrugs. “Good idea.” Fiore smiles. Jaslene rolls her eyes in her confessional. ~ Rachelle goes to visit the racers. “Hi, Zazu!” Rachelle waves. “Chronologica!” Zazu grins. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “What kitchen?” Zazu looks at Rachelle, confused. “Okay, that was a joke for you to take.” Rachelle laughs. “OH!” Zazu looks surprised. “Now, the other comedic challenges you have bottomed. What will you be doing here to stop that.” “I’m here to just…” Zazu purses her lips. “I am not sure.” Zazu Nova: “Can I get a break? Can I get a break please? Where is the makeover?!” “You naturally have a fun attitude. I want you to drive into that…” Rachelle says nervously. “Can you do that?” Zazu nods. “I’ll try my best.” Rachelle nods. … “Hi Granny!” Rachelle smiles. “Hello dear.” Granny grins back. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “I hope we all can.” Granny nods. “Hmm.” Rachelle eyes Granny, pondering. “Granny. You’re a sweet soul.” “Oh, my dear- I just want to have a lovely time.” Granny nods. “This is a challenge about showing up and really enjoying yourself, but also being a STRONG presence. I think you’re funny, but I also think- your response just indicates to me, that kind soul- which I LOVE, could get in the way.” “Mhm.” Granny purses her lips. “If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you hit the others with it?” “Oh…” Granny shakes her head. “Now I don’t know about all that…” “YES.” Rachelle yells. “The answer is yes.” Granny stares awkwardly. “I’m going to need you to really try and steal the show. Make yourself the priority.” “Noted.” Granny nods. … “Hello, Aguacate!” “My Latina Sister who is not Latina, and sometimes, I ponder, not a woman!” Aguacate yells. Rachelle cackles. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?” “Darling.” Aguacate extends her arms. “I will bring such a level of spice, you will shit yourself.” Rachelle gasps, before doubling over in laughter. “What?” Aguacate looks at Rachelle. “You can’t handle this? I thought you were the Queen of taking it?” Rachelle blushes, before continuing to giggle. “Darling…” Aguacate grins. “I feel ready for this challenge.” “I asked this question earlier, but- If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you topple the others with it?” “I’ve never been the one to top, but for you? I’d make an exception.” Aguacate nods. “That’s what I want to hear.” Rachelle grins. ~ The racers all walk into the Big Mother House. “Thank god for silk pajamas.” Omari raises his hands in the air, stretching. “This house is quaint.” Granny smiles. “FOOD!” Aguacate yells, running over to a charcuterie board, before stuffing a little sausage in her mouth. “Of course, she can sniff out the sausage.” Omari smirks. “What is a charcuterie board, if not a pizza without a base?” Crayola jokes. Nobody laughs. “This is lovely!” Granny smiles. “Oooh…” Zazu looks at a mirror. “What’s this-” Zazu touches the frame, as the house starts flashing wild lights. “OH MY GOD!” “WE’RE GONNA DIE!” Aguacate yells. “Someone hand me an axe!” Aguacate screams. “I’m going to kill you.” Omari looks at Aguacate. “Please, kill her!” Fiore smirks. “Guys, let's calm down…” Granny looks at each other with a smile. “Embrace the chaos, Granny.” Aguacate winks. The lights stop flashing, and Yasmin smiles. “Oooh, this is going to be a long night ahead.” “We are not going to sleep tonight.” Crayola responds. “Oh, like…” Zazu looks at the others. “What do we do?” “Let’s talk about the deep sadness inside of us all.” Yasmin smiles, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate. “...Let’s not!” Aguacate laughs. “I worry sometimes about my family dying.
