Haunting the Campus Like a Ghost

Okay, so you have caught us in the middle of doing our annual donations to St. Jude, which we will talk more about in a moment.
But this is the time when the three of us get cranky at each other because we all, not outbid, but outbid each other in making our donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I am ready to, oh no, I'd have to continue to donate.

**John Siracusa** (0:19)
Some of us forgot to prepare for this.

**Casey Liss** (0:21)
Yeah, well, that's some of us. Some of us is me. I'm the problem, it's me.

**Marco Arment** (0:26)
That's a fish song, right?

**Casey Liss** (0:27)
Yes. Let's go with that.
Apple Pay, let's do Apple Pay. Is that gonna work? We're gonna go for it.

**Marco Arment** (0:34)
Actually, so that's one thing, since I've been on Chrome, Chrome doesn't offer Apple Pay for web forms. I don't know if that's something I've misset or just what it just does limitation. But I kind of don't miss it because Shop Pay, Link and Google Wallet Pay, whatever, are so much more reliable and faster to do.
Like Apple Pay on the web, it always is like, what's your shipping address? I don't know, I don't have an address for you. What's your credit? Oh, wrong credit card. I don't know. It's so, Apple Pay on the web is so unreliable for me. But all these other ones work flawlessly and usually faster.

**Casey Liss** (1:09)
Yeah, that's not surprising. All right, I am ready to hit complete donation.

**John Siracusa** (1:12)
All right, me too. Marco, you ready to go?

**Marco Arment** (1:14)
Hit it.

**John Siracusa** (1:15)
All right.

**Casey Liss** (1:16)
Done.

**John Siracusa** (1:16)
This is where I find out of my session timed out waiting for you two jokers to go through this thing.

**Casey Liss** (1:22)
Oh, John beat Marco by exactly $70. And I get both you fools. How about that? So Tiff and Marco $7,007.77.
John said, well, just Syracuse, $7,077.77 and Casey and Erin Liz $7,143.03. Hey, you won this year.

**John Siracusa** (1:42)
I think it's the first thing you ever won, Casey.

**Casey Liss** (1:44)
Look at that. And that's the exact same I did last year. That's nice.

**John Siracusa** (1:46)
I totally forgot what I did last year, but I just wanted to do lots of sevens, and apparently so did Marco, but I added one more seven than he did.

**Marco Arment** (1:52)
Yeah, last year I did all the sevens and you guys yelled at me, so I backed it off this year.

**John Siracusa** (1:55)
I mean, you could do whatever you want. Like we're not stopping you from donating more. Like it just, you know, it is nice for Casey to get a win once. This is Casey's first victory in the St. Jude blind donation off that we have every year.

**Casey Liss** (2:08)
Although I will also say that I think my one best victory was when I had that weird issue with the ampersand whatever it was, I think it was the first year we did this.

**John Siracusa** (2:17)
Asterisk?

**Casey Liss** (2:18)
Yes, that's what it was.

**John Siracusa** (2:19)
Oh yeah.

**Casey Liss** (2:19)
Yeah, I thought I had hit an ampersand. It probably was user error. I swear, I don't think it was, but logically it was user error.

**John Siracusa** (2:26)
Casey star Aaron.

**Casey Liss** (2:27)
Yeah, and then there were stars for all of the donations. Well, not all.

**Marco Arment** (2:30)
Yeah, every listener was like, ATP star.

**Casey Liss** (2:34)
Yep, it was incredible. And so my failure was really a win for the children.

**John Siracusa** (2:38)
Yeah, I think this is the first year you won. Don't quote me on it. Maybe I'm wrong. We've been doing this for a while, but yeah.

**Casey Liss** (2:44)
Hey, so it is September, and I always forget to look up if this is a national thing or an international thing. And for that, I apologize. But I can tell you, at least here in America and potentially worldwide, it is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. That is the month of September every single year. And because it's the month of September, because it's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and because we are all deeply associated with Relay FM, we are joining Relay FM, and slash a part of it anyways. We are trying to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. So St. Jude is a research hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and its business is saving the lives of children. And what's really incredible about this is that we are in our eighth year as the Relay community coming together in September for St. Jude.
