I've sent in my absentee ballot and, you know, it's out of my hands at this point. Merk: Yeah, I think at first I was like, "Okay, well, I've done what I could do. Be careful." So just trying to keep it cool, but anxiety is for sure at an all time high. I've had, like, these rolling anxiety waves where it's, like, really bad and then it's like, "Uhh." For the past couple of weeks, it's just been constant. Merk: Yeah, so … Nyge, how are you feeling this week? Whether you wanna share how it is you were feeling before November 3 or what you’re feeling today, on November 4th, the time we’re recording this - a day after the elections and don’t know what the results are. Nyge: And also, just ‘cause it's one of our favorite interviews ever - not that we keep score or anything - and the energy should be a great pick-me-up in these weird times. And later, we’re gonna air a throwback interview with Marcus Scribner who plays Junior on ABC’s “Black-ish” 'cause he hits at themes still relevant today. We’ll be taking a step back to check in with each other, because everyone is carrying so much this year and we think it’s pretty important to check on your people! In this episode, the Adult ISH Vibe Check, we’re gonna do things a little differently. So far this week has continued to be pretty 2020-ish, but before we get too into that, welcome, everyone, to Adult ISH produced by YR Media, a show where we make scary time capsule messages for future generations. Nyge: Uh, don’t really know what you’re talking about. Merk: Or like one of those dreams where you fall out of the sky and your body’s like “Ahhh,” and jolts awake? Then you go back to sleep and then it happens again a couple nights later! Nyge: I was channeling my inner Matt Damon from “The Martian,” but can you blame me?! 2020 has felt like a scary movie for sure, or like a Simpsons compilation episode. Merk: Dang, why does this sound like some time capsule journal entry from a scary movie about being trapped on a deserted planet? Nyge: So it’s the day after the November 2020 election. Be sure to follow our socials to stay connected! The Adult ISH fam really hopes you’re all doing alright out there. Plus, we change the channel away from news for a throwback interview with “Black-ish” actor Marcus Scribner on HBCUs and interracial dating. Based on this, the application delivers a web map, offering a vibe check based on levels of Cursed, Baby, Feral, Soft, Gremlin and Clown.After an election night with no final results, plus everything else that has happened in 2020, Adult ISH co-hosts Merk Nguyen and Nyge Turner ask each other, “How are you doing?” This vibe check includes loving calls from family members and kindergarten PeaceBuilding jams. Like other ShindanMaker tests, the application only requires users' names. In return, you’ll get a chart that tells you where you fall on the vibe spectrum, with categories ranging from “cursed” to “feral” to “gremlin.” It also tells you whether you passed or failed. All you have to do is visit the page, type in your name (or any name), hit the “diagnose” button, and watch the magic happen. They wrote: ShindanMaker, a Japanese website that lets people create their own fortune teller-like tests, has a new test among its ranks specifically for conducting vibe checks. On October 29th, Fast Company published a report on the test. WIthin four days, more than 372,000 took the test and was the site's top diagnoses in the three days since its launching. That day, the earliest known usage of the test was shared (shown below). On October 26th, 2019, ShindanMaker user kitsu_foxpurr published the Vibe Check test.
