Yeah, that's 5 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: about where we are to be honest listeners, where this 6 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: is our final recording session of we're recording a lot 7 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: um and we're already tired, but we'll not stop us 8 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: from celebrating. This is actually how I approached celebrations a lot, 9 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: where I'm like, we're gonna have a good time. It's 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, how my mother and my grandmother, 11 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: you like, you will have fun and you will like 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: my parents were like that too. Um. Always with these 13 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: Happy Hour episodes, drink responsibly. Anything we mentioned is not 14 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: currently a sponsor. We're not mentioning them because they're a sponsor. 15 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: They're just things that are happening. They're just things. There's 16 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: just things that are happening. Did I mentioned we're tired? Um? So, Samantha, 17 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: what are you stepping on? I am drinking on one 18 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: of my Seltzer's. I believe it's a grape route just 19 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: by the taste of it. Um sweetly donated by my 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: heart because we took a lot of things from our 21 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: little party. Um, yeah, that's what I'm sen on, what 22 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: about you? Hilariously enough, I am drinking a very rare 23 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: in my household white wine because I think we should 24 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: tell this story. I was thinking about this because last 25 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: year on our holiday party, we did an episode afterwards 26 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: about how did we did and which wasn't well. We 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: both kind of like stressed out, had strange reactions and 28 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: it was for a lot of reasons, but part of 29 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: it was we hadn't seen people and so long. It 30 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: just felt so awkward doing a gathering in an awkward place. 31 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: And then our company is so this doesn't change, but 32 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: this is one of those moments of like me trying 33 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: to cope. But our company has a constant flux of people, 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: and not necessarily because it's just a turnover. Some departments 35 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: do have big turnovers, but it's because we're adding new 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: shows and need more people. And oftentimes we meet people 37 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: and my face goes, should I know this person or 38 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: are they new? Or have I not met them yet? 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: Because I came onto my heart when um, the pandemic happens, 40 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: so right before pandemic, So I literally got to meet 41 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: a handful of people. And because I only work on 42 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: one show, I don't interact with a lot of people's 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: as we don't go into an office, So meeting new 44 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: people at an event to commiserate is kind of awkward. Yeah, 45 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: and you have the added layer that it's like a 46 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: work function, and then you have the added layer that 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: we're all so at least, as I would say, very 48 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: concerned learned about the pandemic. So it's it's it's it 49 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: was a lot, and we kind of both had I 50 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: I like literally broke down in a co worker's arms 51 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: that cried for over an hour this time or last time, 52 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: last time. So I wanted to do a comparison because 53 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: we just had our holiday party this year, and there 54 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: was a couple of interesting things that were happening. Umber one, 55 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: we have a new office which is not ready. A 56 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: long way away from being ready, I would say, even 57 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: though a couple of months we were told June this 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: year and now now still not ready. Yes, yes, now 59 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: we're we're getting March. You can't get in, you have 60 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: to have somebody let you in. There's no bathrooms that 61 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: work currently in in the space. There is on the 62 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: like premises because it's kind of like a you know, 63 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: live work play area, but part of this is like 64 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: a detached from the other parts, so we have to 65 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: still leave the building in this giant, giant office because 66 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: it holds not only the podcast section, which is small 67 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: honestly comparison to, but also the actual radio stations. So 68 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: if you listen to the I Heart stations were literally 69 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: I guess, not all of the world, because there's my 70 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Heart offices all over the country, but for us, we 71 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: have a huge chunk of radio station people, radio network 72 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: people with us, so we share halves I guess, or 73 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: a third and two third no bathroom, no currently um 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: and Okay, without going too much into detail about Atlanta, 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Atlanta's traffic is horrible and the location of this building 76 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: is not ideal for most people. It doesn't have like 77 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: easy access for public transit, which is a big problem 78 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: in most Atlanta, but especially over there. And it was 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: started at rush hour, so I was in. I don't 80 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: know if I told you this whole story, but I 81 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: was a little late, and I knew you were there panicking, yes, 82 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: and I knew it, and the lift driver could say 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: into my anxiety, and finally she asked me, like, what's 84 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: what's wrong, And it's like, this is Holliday party. I 85 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: gotta get there. I don't have to interact with people anymore. 86 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: And she was like, all right, here's what we're gonna do. 87 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna do some breathing exercises and she's like walked 88 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: me through. She's like, you can always ask about the weather, 89 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: and then once they start talking about the weather, you 90 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: can just dip into the back if you want to drink, 91 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: get a drink and sip on it slowly. And she 92 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: was still she was awesome about advice. I told her 93 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: about you, and she was like, you've got to go 94 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: for your friend. You can't abandon your friend. You've got 95 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: to get there. I really like, thank you funny. She 96 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: was like, we've got to get there for And I 97 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: could tell by the text you're sending it was not 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: going well. So that was the way when I arrived 99 00:05:48,080 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: and we we did reunite. Yes. Well, And this is 100 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: the thing is I got there fairly on time. Um, 101 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: I kind of new the area already because I was familiar. Um, 102 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, the panic moment was I don't have access 103 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: to get in that there was no real notification on 104 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: how to do this. This is very limited information, y'all. 105 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: It was very nice of the person who together. You 106 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: could tell they really tried, but you could also tell 107 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: us last minute. So it definitely felt more like a 108 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: afternoon office party than anything else, so that which is, hey, whatever. 109 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: So we were trying. I was trying to figure that out. 110 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: Met up, like I was walking and I hear my 111 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: name and I look up awkward because I'm avoiding staring 112 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: at strangers. That's my thing, like I don't want to 113 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: keep looking at people oddly. And then it turned out 114 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: to be old producer Dylan, and he was like, hey, hey, hey. 115 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, thank god, thank god, 116 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm nothing. Stopped talking about trying to get in. I'm 117 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: very I have verbal diary and when I get nervous 118 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: you'll know this by now. And we walk up and 119 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: both of us sat there at the door, like can 120 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: you get in? He's like, no, can you get in? 121 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: And I was like what do we do? So he 122 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: sends out a mass email like can someone let us in? 123 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: Or how do we get in? And would We just 124 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: stood there and then I think a person from the 125 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: radio side came over because there is security camera so 126 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: they may have seen us looking awkwardly at the door. 127 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: And we found the game in and there was only 128 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: like maybe six or seven people, and the way it was, 129 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: I was like literally thirty pizzas, some beverages and everybody 130 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: sitting in the circle, yeah, in a very awkward conversation. 131 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: And that's where I got stuck, and I was like, 132 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: someone help me, Like I was in a panic because 133 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I was like, first of all, we looked like we're 134 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: a sharing circle or an a like any of those 135 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: things are like a support group, and so it felt 136 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: so awkward. I don't know a lot of the people, 137 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm still technically knew when it comes 138 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: to meeting the people in this industry, all of it. 139 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: And we had several big wigs already there, I want 140 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: to say big wigs, CEO, CFOs, you know the big 141 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: people that were like, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna mess 142 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: this up. I say something real inappropriate. So I just 143 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: sat there quietly until until other people arrived. And that 144 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: made it much better because I was like, oh, I 145 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: know these people, thank god. But I will say it 146 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: was still better than last year's. Yeah, And this is 147 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: all a long, roundabout way to say they bought way 148 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: too much stuff and so we got free beer and 149 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: wine out of it, also pizza. Um, but that's why 150 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: I have the box of white wine that I normally 151 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: would not have. Right. Um, I agree. It was better 152 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: than last year. There was some very endearing but awkward 153 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: karaoke which I was part of, so there's no judgment 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: at all, and getting to see people haven't seen in 155 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: a while. I did have an awkward moment, as you know, 156 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: where I was kind of I thought teasing somebody and 157 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: I guess he did not think that was funny and 158 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: it's not. Basically, I was joking about how I was 159 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: filling in for him on his show, and I was like, 160 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: oh are you mad? And I think he might actually 161 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: have been a little upset. Um perfect drink in someone's 162 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: face and then stabbed him with my nail. So we 163 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: did work. We did well, We did well, real well. Yeah, 164 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean I think it went well for what it was. 165 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: We definitely like I came home with a giant party 166 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: size salad that we still have. You got, like I 167 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: got light ten people's eye and then several things of pizza. 168 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: So my partner was really excited when I came home 169 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: a little, but yeah, it was super interesting. I think 170 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversation about what our industry looks 171 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: like and it's unusual. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. But 172 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: it did. It did get me thinking because I last year, 173 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: the episode we did when we revisit, when we talked 174 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: about our holiday party, was where I talked about how 175 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm too much a lot at things, 176 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: and I talked about that recently, like this feeling of 177 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: like being too loud or being like taking up too 178 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: much attention or talking too much or whatever. And I 179 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: noticed this year there was there were a lot of 180 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: times where I was like, don't do it, just stay quiet. 181 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: It's better to just stay quiet. And I don't know 182 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: that that's necessarily better. I think there's a balance I 183 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: could find, But it was just like when I was 184 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: comparing the two parties. This time, I at least didn't 185 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: like go home and cried despondently for a long time. 186 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: I think I did a better exit this year than 187 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: last year. My board exit. I will give that it 188 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: was very adult that it literally ended when it was 189 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: supposed to end, and we all exited like happily, not 190 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: disappointed that it wasn't last thing while we're like we're done, Yeah, 191 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: we're done by let's go home right right. And I 192 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: one of the whole reasons you go to these holiday parties, 193 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: these work holiday parties, which have so many like layers 194 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: where it could go wrong, in my opinion, is to 195 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: be seen by your boss. And he had already left 196 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: by That's how I got there. And I was like 197 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: only fifteen to twenty minutes late, and I did see him, 198 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: but I made sure to never make I contact you. Well, 199 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: I mean, we are fun, we are fun, we can 200 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: be well speaking of that, I don't want to talk 201 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: about this the whole time. I did want to ask, 202 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: and I think I know the answer. But like, in 203 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: your ideal world, how do you like to celebrate? What's 204 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: your favorite way of celebrating. Well, that's a good question. 205 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: I think it's according to what it is. I am 206 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: sentimental enough that I wanted to be related to whatever 207 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: we're doing. On my own. It kind of is like 208 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: doing the things that I love. So for one thing 209 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: like going to my favorite restaurant and getting my favorite food. 210 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, we have traditions of that. Right now, my 211 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: favorite place is going to h Mark to the Uma 212 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: How Money Store essentially the aunt that it's very down 213 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: home Korean cooking, and I go to get my stew 214 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: there and I get so excited, um, and then I 215 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,239 Speaker 1: go immediately and get like ten things of Asian pastries 216 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: that I love. That's something I'm like, if I was 217 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: still sad or I feel like I needed a lifting 218 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: to be uplifted, that might be something I would do. 219 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: But yeah, outside of that, I think I typically want 220 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: to do something that's related or traditional or sentimental to it. 221 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: What about you? Yeah, I agree, I mean, it depends 222 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: on the situation. I'm very much like I. I can 223 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: love a celebration and pretty much any contacts, whether that's 224 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: like going out at restaurants or having a big party, 225 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: But my favorite, like my personal favorite celebration is something 226 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: that's much more low key, where like you're with your 227 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: close friends and you have like drinks and foods, all 228 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: your favorite foods or something, and you're playing games or 229 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: watching movies you've seen a million times. Are That's that's 230 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: like really where I'm at, That's my favorite. I do, 231 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: like I do like a big, you know, blow out. 232 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes I like going out, but like my most comfortable 233 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: celebration is more like staying in with my friends and 234 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: just relaxing with each other greed. Because this is our 235 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: hunter's episode. I tried to look up like at first, 236 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: I tried to do a kind of joking happy hour 237 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Sminty trivia, and then I realized it's been way too 238 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: much work for me, um for what I want right now. 239 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: But I am, that's that's a good idea. I think 240 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: we should do that one day. And then I was 241 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: looking up like what games could we play during this, 242 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: like everyone could play? And I found all of these 243 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: lists UM for like work safe virtual game, and they 244 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: were honestly hilarious and kind of depressing. I was like, wow, 245 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: what a world? What a world? What a world? Oh man? 246 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: And some of them ivers like you know, these are 247 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: happy hours, we drink during them. But I have to 248 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: admit I would not play a game which I bet 249 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: a lot of you have heard of, because I guess 250 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: they got popular where you do like multiple shots within 251 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: an hour at World. I can barely live on like 252 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: the two percent felt sir. We don't need to be 253 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: adding shots to this moment, I know, And I was like, 254 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: this is an official list of like work holiday games 255 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: that's not going to be good. Want the drama, yes, 256 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, and then I was going to 257 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: make us do like a list of favorites. But you know, 258 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: I think I think we've been over a lot of it. 259 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: I would say for a happy hour. I always like 260 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: in these segments where we get to do lot of 261 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: stuff that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing. I know one 262 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: of the and like our quote regular episodes because I 263 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: know one of the big critiques you and I keep 264 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: in mind all the time, it's like, how does this 265 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: relate to feminism? How is this about women? Or are 266 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: marginalize folks or whatever? And and that is hugely important. 267 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: That's what our show is about. But it is nice 268 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: to have a segment where we can kind of be 269 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more like, hey, let's watch Sex in 270 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: the City, which has been great. It's been like a 271 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: really fun, fun experience. It's something different from Christina. It's 272 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: something where we do talk about important issues in it, 273 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: even though it seems like it'd be frivolous. We've talked 274 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: about the meaning of life after literally life and death, 275 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: like we have gotten come through so many emotions. When 276 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: we really invest in something, we make prevery good episodes 277 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: and things like that that can bring out some emotions, 278 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: which hopefully a good TV series or movies can do, 279 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: which is why we talk about movies and film and books. 280 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: It should be able to reflect some deep thoughts, even 281 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: if it is a comedy. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean there's 282 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: always messages we're getting and because of the society we 283 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: live in, most of them, all of them are gendered 284 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: in some way, because that's just the world we live in. Uh. 285 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: And so Sex and the City is really fun. It's 286 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: interesting the conversations that have come out of that, And 287 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: of course I do love all of the nerdy conversations 288 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,119 Speaker 1: I get to have on here about like toxic masculinity 289 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: and mandalorians like its stuff that I think is important. 290 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: But it's I guess I just really enjoy happy Are. 291 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm glad that people like it because it is a 292 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: chance for us to not feel so like I've got 293 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: to research this and it's got to be super important 294 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: and no one can ask why we're talking about it, 295 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: not that we don't research it, because sometimes we do. 296 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes we don't. I didn't want to know about yeah, 297 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: but it's nice. It's nice to have kind of this Yeah, 298 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: this segment where you and I can just discuss things. 299 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: And most of those things, I mean I would say 300 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: all of them, but I'll do a solid Most are 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: like topics that are important to finism. It's just perhaps 302 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: not the angle you would think. Well, I know, we've 303 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: definitely began the Happy Hour with literally talking about women 304 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: in the industry from beer to different types of distilleries 305 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: to mixologists, um, talking about the industry as being a misogynistic, 306 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: toxic place. Like we have definitely dug deep into that 307 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: and we still come back to it every now and again. 308 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Of course, we kind of expanded beyond that because those 309 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: conversations can be deep, and also because unfortunately a lot 310 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: of women are not involved or are not allowed to 311 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: be involved, that the class selling is pretty low for 312 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: women in that industry. But that's what we want to 313 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: talk about too, Like we do research on that level, 314 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: and I love, love, love discovering women in this in 315 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: this place and seeing what they're doing and how they're 316 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: changing things, how they're creating amazing stuff. Like it's really 317 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: fun because I went with a friend recently to uh 318 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: a package store would just pretty much a liquor store 319 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, and I was able to point out 320 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: some of the amazing alcohol or brands that are women focused, 321 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: women owned, women UH women created. So I was able 322 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: to give them the history and I love that of course, 323 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: and they picked it up at me like, oh wow, 324 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: this is amazing. So and so we'll love this because 325 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: there's a depth to it and that is so much fun. 326 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: And this episode has really taught me a lot about 327 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: looking deeper into a company because we have some companies 328 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: that we might really love and discover. All these bad 329 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: days we're like, yeah, we can't, we can't do that. Yeah, 330 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: I know.
