From the grins breaking out around the studio, this news is huge. The name of the magazine rings a bell. I think I've seen it on the coffee tables in the guest rooms, and a copy or two floating around the lobby. A prestigious glossy magazine like Conde NastTraveler or The Robb Report. And we're Luxury Resort of the Year?
Stunned, I want to pause the podcast, but we're coming to the close of our first episode, so I keep on going.

VAN (Host, surprised): Well. This is something. You know, I think a copy of the last issue of that magazine is in each guest room.
DAJI (Host, smug): Yes. But, obviously, not the issue that will announce that we're one of the contenders for Luxury Resort of the Year in the Celestial Realms!
VAN: We'll have to buy some extra issues of that one.
SUN WUKONG: Already done. That's what any good vice-president does--anticipates the bosses' requests.
VAN: Thank you. Did you or anyone else on the board submit our name for consideration?
