Wait, who looks weird? You look weird? I look weird?

**Harley Morenstein** (0:28)
Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. What's going on up there?

**Kate Bushnell** (0:33)
I think that's EverQuest.

**Harley Morenstein** (0:35)
That's a major gaming blind spot for me.

I don't know. I don't know.

**Harley Morenstein** (1:07)
Nothing's wrong. I just I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not ever back the way I was when I left.
But hi, I'm happy to be here. It's nice to meet you.

**Kate Bushnell** (1:17)
Hi, nice to meet you.

**Harley Morenstein** (1:20)
I believe you've heard of me.

**Kate Bushnell** (1:23)
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Are you trying to? I know it was coming.

**Harley Morenstein** (1:34)
Now, now I'm always here.

**Kate Bushnell** (1:36)
Oh, OK, because you're from the future.

**Harley Morenstein** (1:38)
This is me now.

**Kate Bushnell** (1:40)
Oh, my God.

**David** (1:40)
This is the future.

**Harley Morenstein** (1:42)
This is the future we spoke about.

**Kate Bushnell** (1:44)
Wow.
We didn't even know you were predicting what would happen in season two. There he is. Look at him. So beautiful. You look so anyway. Anyways, we have a sponsor today.

**Harley Morenstein** (2:04)
This episode.

**Kate Bushnell** (2:05)
Yeah, this episode.

**Harley Morenstein** (2:06)
Why don't you tell me stuff anymore?

**Kate Bushnell** (2:08)
Girl, you got your shit in the mail today. I know you did. Oh, yeah, it's that our sponsor is Cozy Earth. Very, very exciting. And we will talk about them in a little bit. So David, please remind me in about 30 minutes that we need to do that.
Feel free to just hop in. Don't let us down. Set a timer.
Don't worry. I do everything. Yeah, that's true. Speaking of Shambhala, we have very, very, very good news. Uh, when was it? Wednesday, we talked about Kayla Wavare, who was missing from Shambhala. And according to an account that I believe was run by her sister, she has been found. She is alive.

**Harley Morenstein** (2:57)
I swear, I had nothing to do with it.

**Kate Bushnell** (2:59)
Good job, Harley. I'm glad that your name has been cleared.

**Harley Morenstein** (3:02)
Yeah, because she's safe now, we can say stuff like that.

**Kate Bushnell** (3:05)
Exactly. I'm glad that you waited. I'm very glad she waited.
So I was following this as closely as I could. There wasn't a ton of detail out there, and the police were telling civilians not to post pictures of her because they were worried that she was in having a bad trip or in some sort of a... Like that it triggered a psychotic episode. Yeah, so she was like very paranoid, and they didn't want her to get spooked by seeing people like tracking her. What I saw was... And I'm not going to show a picture of her, but I'm going to show a picture of where she was spotted in relation to Shambhala.

**Harley Morenstein** (3:50)
Five hours away, right?

**Kate Bushnell** (3:52)
Yes, yes. Okay, so she was spotted on someone's porch on their ring camera or whatever.
Taking a cooler or bringing a cooler... She had a cooler in her hands, but she had the same fanny pack. It was obviously her. And someone did the legwork to show where exactly she'd ended up. And so here's the music festival. She was in Nellway, apparently, according to this unconfirmed report. She had gotten all the way to the Canadian border, the Canadian-US border, almost five hours away.
And that's probably by car, I'm guessing, or no, five hour walk. So I mean, anything could have happened in that time. So I'm very glad she's okay. Very, very glad. And there was a GoFundMe that raised like $20,000 for her. And now that money is going to go to the search and rescue team. No, to the, the search and rescue team.
