Emily Griffith

What’s your name and where do you live?
Emily Griffith. Brighton, England.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
My now-husband introduced me to Ross and Burbank in 2011 (he’s more Ross, and I’m more Burbank), and we started listening to the podcast regularly after Andrew started in mid 2012. (He’s more of an Andrew).

How would your friends describe you?
As a Luke? I would hate to find out, tbh, but I’m guessing it would include something similar to “a talkative networker with enthusiasm for organisation.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav?
I hated cereal. I only ate ramen noodles for breakfast everyday. I still don’t eat cereal much, but if I do, it’s some sort of honey-sweet granola.

What food do you love to eat the most of? 
I love Korean food, especially sundubu jjigae, which is a spicy stew with soft tofu mixed in with vegetables and usually seafood or meat. It’s spicy and flavourful. Plus rice, kimchi, grilled meats, fried chicken, sweet potato noodles, and loads of little side dishes…

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
“Shmitty.” (My maiden name was Schmidt.)

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
“If I Were a Fish” by corook

What’s a special skill you have that you’re most proud of?
I can keep myself occupied with a spreadsheeeeee for hours without getting bored. And I can teach lots of different things to kids.

What’s a special skill that you *wish* you had?
I want to be a carpenter and make my living building both artful and practical pieces from locally sourced wood. But I’ve never actually made anything yet. I was a fan of “This Old House with Bob Vila” as a kid though.

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?
I’d yell, “moooove” just to hear you guys complain about it on the show the following day.

Can other Tens find you on social media? If so, how?
