      Comic book - is that a tribute to Lauren Lyons?

    Ellie, truly professional appearance and poise. You have upped your game in a serious manner. Everyday, interviewers end up wasting time trying to show off their own knowledge instead of allowing the interviewee to finish a sentence. You let the interviewee speak and allow them to be the focus. Excellent job.

      I don't think Shane was talking about Everyday Astronaut. I think he was just using the word "Everyday" in its usual usage, as in "everyday someone does something". It was just capitalized because it was the first word in the sentence.
