Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Hi, it's Phoebe. We're coming up on 10 years of Criminal. Our first episode came out January 30, 2014. In 2015, we did our first live show at a bar in Durham, North Carolina. We were terrified. Then we took that live show to New York. From there, we tried out Seattle and San Francisco, where I got so sick after eating an oyster that I had to put on an I'm Phoebe Judge t-shirt and try to make it to the CVS to pick up a prescription so that we could do the show. I spent the 30 minutes before we went on stage sitting at the free blood pressure machine at the drugstore with a Coke and some saltines, praying that the pill would stay down.
0:46Once we came to Dublin and all the power went out in the middle of the show, I tried to keep going, remembering the story by heart, and then about three lines in, I just burst out laughing. Then Lauren started laughing. The audience started. And there we all were in the dark. It meant so much to us that people came. And because so much of the work we do is alone, just me in a dark studio staring at a computer, getting to meet some of you was the greatest thing. We haven't done a live show since 2019. And we're very ready to get back to it. So, this February, we're heading out on a special 10th anniversary tour Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.
