Annie Secrest

What’s your name and where do you live? 
Annie Secrest. San Luis Obispo, CA

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
I’m not sure when I first started listening, but I know that it had to have been by 2014, because that is when I started a new job. About two months after starting that job, I shared a room for a week for a work conference and subjected my new colleague (who would later become my friend) to TBTL. I remember asking her if she minded that I played a new podcast I was listening to, and she and I both fell in love!

How would your friends describe you?
A lady in the streets but a freak in the (spread) sheets who’s definitely bumping strip club rap music in her AirPods while she designs the next decarbonization plan for her workplace.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
My mom spent like Susie B., so we rocked whatever had a sale sticker. I can say my favorite cereal now is Lucky Charms or Reece’s Puff. Both delightful AND gluten free!

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Chips n dip!! A thick kettle cut potato chip and French onion dip.

What’s a special skill that you have?
I can correctly identify the flavor of any Albanese gummy bear with my eyes closed. I spent two hours on a train inviting people to challenge me. I remain undefeated on the Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo line!!!

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
“Follow me to the bar!!!”
