Episode 3: What is "Yeet" + my Yeet Journey!

In this episode, I share how I came across the GenAlpha word 'yeet' and how I've utilized it in my show and how it morphed into a math adventure with activity playstation - measuring your yeet to get your YES (Yeet Efficiency Score) - so fun and funny right?!  I went to the Spirit YoYo Contest to test out my Yeet device on real Pro YoYoers! Listen to what happened and enjoy the audio talking and music tidbits experience! Like/Review if you please - the podcast is new and algorithm clicks do matter in this day of age, so thanks for your support in my effort to share joy with you and fellow listeners <3
