<v Speaker 2>tough for so many reasons, Like doing this is such

<v Speaker 2>a bright spot, and like being in community lead community

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>with all of you has like actually just been such

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>a highlight. Yeah, earnestly, I'm getting a little too real here,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 2>but it is really nice and it's nice to get

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>to do this with you.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Jenna YouTube Kevin, I cannot believe we're almost in twenty five.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It is very fast, Oh God, very very fast. What

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>has been your favorite memory from this year, Kevin?

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I got to do theater for the first time, so

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>doing spelling b like that whole experience was really great, right,

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 2>meeting all those wonderful people who I did the show with. Also,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I took a trip to Europe and saw one of

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>my friend, our friend Andrea get married, and that was

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>also really great and magical. So two highlights. What about you?

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, this year has been a whirlwinding a human. Yeah,

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think that a big part of it

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>was being pregnant. Throughout most of this year, I'm watching

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Emma grow into a two and a half year old.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Has been just crazy. She's like a full blown kid

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at this point now, and it's just it's very wild.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>She started school, so I feel like we were just

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>getting into the groove of like a new phase of

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>her life and that was really really fun and work

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of like took aside from the podcast, It took

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>a back seat. But I was like, you know what,

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll take it. I'll take this year and I'll take

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>it for what it is. So I think, yeah, the

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>pregnancy and a lot of personal journey.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this year, important real life things you've been doing,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks, Yeah, trying to grow and teach tiny humans to

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>be good in this.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>World, you know, I mean, no small feet, good God.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>What are you looking forward to in twenty twenty five? Oh,

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be a really weird year to start.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Obviously for specific reasons. I hope for myself to find

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>some peace.

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Are you okay, Jenna, No, I hope to find some

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 3>peace in all of the hubbub and chaos that I

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 3>think will might ensue that we might encounter in the

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 3>first half.

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Of the year. Like there's a lot of stuff we

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>know is coming and a lot of unknowns and a

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of scary things that could be happening. And I'm

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>just trying to, like, for my personal self, find some

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>peace in that smart and being able to like, we've

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>been here before, We've done this before, and so how

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>do I filter out what is needed and what's not

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and what's important and what to fight for and what

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to not and when to take a back seat and

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>when to not, you know, just like finding that balance.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I am excited for this the rest of this podcast,

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and I would love to see what people want to

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>hear from us as well in terms of the podcast

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>after season five and six, So please write in and

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>tell us that because that will be really interesting and

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>fun to kind of explore. Yeah. Yeah, I just is

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of unknowns in al ways, So just

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>some peace.

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I would like to be able to find more ways

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 2>for us to work together. Great.

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>You know I love that you.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Get Amber involved. I think love it. I think I'm

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>here for it. We should figure that out.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Great, let's do it. You've read so many books this year, Kevin,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is yet not as many as I planned on. This

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 1>was a slower year for me than last year. Okay,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>but like, what's slow? Because I think I read two

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>books this year, So like what's slow?

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But as you said, Jenna, here raising a human and

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>growing another human. Right, I have a dog and a cat.

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 2>You know that.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Still, people, it takes some effort to pick up a

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>book sometimes. I think.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I think by the end of this year, I will

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>be at technically like maybe twenty one books.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a lot of books. No.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Last year I was at thirty.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but that's a lot of books.

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>My goal was thirty six this year.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of books.

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, let me get through one, literally, let me

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>get through one.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Fair And I've hit some slumps this year as well,

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 2>like I've hit some reading slumps or like fair enough,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 2>I've It's probably the most did not finish year for me.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So I need to go back and finish some books

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 2>I've gotten better at, like I'm not feeling right now,

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to put it down.

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I love that. That's great.

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I love I never I've resisted that feeling for a

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>really long time, so I did that. But I have

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>read some great books this year. Great great or anybody

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>listening who cares about book recommendations, I'll give you a

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>little highlight, wouldn't say I'm like the biggest fantasy reader. However,

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 2>probably my current favorite writer R F. Kuang. She's stupidly brilliant.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>She is so smart. She wrote the Poppy Word Trilogy,

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>which I just started, so I read the first book

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 2>of that this year. I also read Bibble, which is

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>so good, which is being adapted. She's coming up with

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 2>another book she wrote, yellow Face. She's unbelievable, so I'm

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to get through all of her things. Also at

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the start of the year I read Henry Henry by

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Alan Bratton and so good, like a modern retelling of

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth, I think, And it's a queer

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>and just it's very good. And also I mean the

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>book of the Year Barnes and Noble Agrees James by

0:06:55.320 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Percival Everett. It like is a retelling of Huckleberry Finn

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>m that's fun from the perspective of Jim the Slave,

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's great, it's so so good. So

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>those are some of my highlights of the year. Great,

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>did you watch a lot of TV this year like

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>we did?

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>We watched a lot of TV this year, So do

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you have recommendations like highlights from this past year?

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>So?

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>We love The Diplomat and we just started season two.

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Diplomat is like my favorite show. And The Diplomat came

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>back this year and I watched the entire second season

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>in one day. Let me know everything you think about it.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>The Perfect Couple we watched obviously nobody wants this. We

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>watched Presumed Innocent Love that one. That one is a

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>really great one and the ending was not what we

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>expected it all. So we were very happy with that.

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that the Jake Jonhall show to watch that?

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>We just watched Bad Monkey?

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>What is Bad Monkey?

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>It's Fawn on Apple TV. We just watched Disclaimer. We

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really enjoyed that one, did you. Yeah? Yeah with Caplen Chad, Yeah,

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>because that show, right, and it's gotten, it's you know,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it's gotten. No, I mean, it's a totally it's not

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>an easy watch. I wouldn't say it's easy. It's quite dark,

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 1>but we we it never really lost me at any point. Again,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>like a fun little twist. We watched The Brother's Son

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>this year. Yeah, we've been really good at watching new

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>things this year because usually we're rewatch your family because

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 1>when you have small children at the end of the night,

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it's very easy to like want to just turn your

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>brain off, so you watch something that you know very

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>very well. But we have watched a lot this year

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of new content that we've tried to be more mindful of,

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>like doing things that are not just like sitting there

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and like stewing.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this has been a really slow TV

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 2>year for me. Oh interesting, which is weird. Normally I

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>watch a lot, but I think what also happens is

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 2>because I'll watch something really quickly, I'll binge it. Then

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I forgot that I watched it, Like I forgot, Like

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I watched Three Body Problem on Netflix and I forgot

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that I did and it was this huge show Like

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>that was really fun.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what are you doing for New Year's this year?

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Normally, like last year, I went to Brazil. I normally

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>go on a trip. This year, I'm completely winging it.

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really feel like going anywhere. I was gone

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot this year. I'm gonna be gone a bit

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>next year, and so I'm just trying to like sit

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>my ass at home for a little bit. So maybe

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll do nothing and that'll be nice.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Last year, Meghan Doyle and her husband Thomas came

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>over and they left it like eleven forty five and
