We’re coming at you from the 35th floor of the Virgin Hotel in NYC, and this episode is a wild ride! We are in the Big Apple for a Webby Awards event (spoiler: Erin didn’t win, blame the bots), and it’s been a rollercoaster of influencer overload. Erin braved the first day solo, navigating Penn Station all alone and struggling to find the hotel. "LA" type influencers were everywhere making Erin feel uncomfortable...Think prom dresses and 20 take photo shoots. Mike swooped in for day two, and we tackled Adobe Photoshop activations, ate a Flaming Hot Cheeto cupcake (it’s… spicy?), and vibed with Jools LeBron ("very demure” queen) on turning her viral moment into a brand. We also ran into @effinbirds who snagged Erin's Webby. Erin rants about the Met Gala and is obsessed with the wheeled curtain that hides the celebrities outfits. On the train home, we bonded with Noah, an AI startup genius with a scooter and breakup stories that kept us hooked. Plus, a No Bad, No Sad moment: Noah says AI could lead to a utopia, not a dystopia.
