The Cool S, known for being drawn on stuff.

Famous for being like also spray painted on stuff or carved.

Nobody thinks much about it, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why the cool ass is secretly incredibly fascinating.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode.

A podcast all about by being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm very much not alone. I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden.

Katie, hello. Hey.

Yes. Hello. Hi.

And we are keeping it quick because we also have a wonderful guest this week.

She is the hosting creator of Black People Love Paramore, which recently won a Webby Award and as a fellow Maximum Fun podcast.

So glad to be joined by Sequoia Holmes.

Hey, Sequoia.

Hey, thank you so much for having me.

I'm excited.

This is a very exciting topic from listeners, I feel like.

We usually have them chosen by listeners, thank you to Enis, Meenus, Minus, Minus,

Mosef with support from Elizabeth and others on Discord. We always start with this question.

And, Sequoia, you can go first. What is your relationship to or opinion of the cool S,

aka the Stussy? I didn't know that it was called the Stussy, first of all. So when I saw that in the email about the topic, I was like, what is that? And then I saw the cool S and I was like, oh, I know about the cool S. As someone with an S name, the cool S was, you know, it was the first letter of my name. I only did the cool S for the duration of middle school.

I don't know why that hit me like a revelation at the end of the usual suspects or something. Right. Of course.

So yeah, pretty strong.
