19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: a cold winter's day and things are just a little

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: chaotic outside and we want to feel wrapped in the

21
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: warm embrace of something, be it a fine knitted quilt

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: or a good book. Let's start with movies, folks, what

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: kind of movies do you love? To watch on a

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: day when you want to feel cozy.

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Rosie Well, I am a lover of all things cozy,

26
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: as listeners know, and I am going to start because

27
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: it is the season. It's November. Might be a bit

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: early for some, but the Hallmark original Christmas programming has

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: become and I am going to recommend that you watch

30
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: any kind of Christmas Hallmark bootleg Hallmark though of course,

31
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: we respect the Hallmark brand here, and those movies will

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: help you turn your brain off and turn your Christmas

33
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: spirit on.

34
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: Is that cinnamon?

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: I smell?

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: You?

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Ready to have a peppermint latte mocha?

38
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: Are we meant to keep that up this whole episode?

39
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: My first movie, I want to mention when I want

40
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: to just smooth out the lobes, just smooth them out.

41
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love to smooth the lobe Just.

42
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Just rub them, rub them down, get them all shiny

43
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: and smooth, like a like a piece of Plato, delicious

44
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: piece of Plato. Folks. It's not mind blowing or original

45
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Star Wars episode four. You know how it goes. It's

46
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: called a new Hope. You've you know it, you've seen it,

47
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: you've watched it. You're thinking I've seen it so many times.

48
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Just put it on for five minutes and try to

49
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: turn it off. Just try it exactly. You won't. You won't,

50
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: you won't be able to, you won't do it, because

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: next thing you know, those crazy Droids are getting waylaid

52
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: by the Jahwas and then Dobe one is showing up

53
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: and saving Luke, and then Luke is on the Millennium

54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Falcon and all that stuff is happening, and next thing

55
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're doing the bombing run on the Death

56
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Star and all is right with the universe except for

57
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the back that Chewbocket didn't get a medal Star Wars

58
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Episode four. Great, But what about you? Your a movie

59
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: that feels like coziness?

60
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: For me, It's the Digimon movie. And I guess this

61
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: recommendation extends to basically anything Momrojosta has ever directed. Summerwards

62
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: where I most recently bell all extremely beautiful films that

63
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: I don't know just make me feel like a kid.

64
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: My sister and I rewatch the Digimon movie together every year,

65
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: and we've watched it ever since we were kids, and

66
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: it just transports me back to that headspace. It's such

67
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: a good time.

68
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love someone Wars. That's a great, great pick.

69
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: What a director, Aaron, how about you?

70
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kind of mirror a Boo with a children's

71
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: movie and mine's my neighbor Totoro, great one. She turned

72
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: it on a couple of weeks ago, and I just

73
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 4: heard the theme song and I was like, Okay, I

74
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: know what I'm doing. Like I'm coming out of you know,

75
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: the other room, and I'm going to sit down and

76
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: watch this. It's such a beautiful movie. There are so

77
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: many moments that make you smile on it, and so

78
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: many things where I was just like, there's no way

79
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit on the couch and watch the

80
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: whole movie right now.

81
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: I love that one. Yeah, that's a really special one. Jason,

82
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: what's your second pick?

83
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Our runners up? My first runner up is a

84
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: movie that came out in nineteen eighty two. It's a nonlinear,

85
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: very unconventional movie, kind of the pioneer of the video edit,

86
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: the YouTube edit, the social media edit, cinema edit genre.

87
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: It is ko Yanis Katzi by Godfrey Reggio. It's a

88
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: hypnotic movie. It's absolutely incredible. Shot in was it thirty five?

89
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what film socket is, but it's just

90
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: like incredibly high def for the time, shot in often

91
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: slow mo video speeds, so you get these incredible moments

92
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: of like on the sure nature moving in slow motion, monks.

93
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: And then civilization being built really built lost.

94
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: An incredible score by Philip Glass that you will recognize

95
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: when you put this movie on, and you know you

96
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: don't have to think about it. You can glance away

97
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: from it and glance back and be like, oh my god,

98
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: what's happening now? Fantastic movie currently streaming free as well

99

00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Be's gonna give you the ads. But if you like

102
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: what you see, pick up the pick.

103
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: Up the Blu ray, Yeah, pick up the collection, give

104
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: it a try. Yeah. My next one, I'm gonna go

105
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: this is a more Both of these are more contemporary

106
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: rosy selections. I'd never seen a Hallmark movie until I

107
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: moved to America. I had deeply deprived myself throughout my

108
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: life due to internalized misogyny of watching any kind of

109
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: like rom coms and thinking I could enjoy them. So

110
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: my next one is a movie I've already watched twice

111
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: this month that I'm sure I will continue to watch

112
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: that I love, which is Practical Magic Class. I had

113
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: never watched this movie until a couple of years ago.

114
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock. There's murdering of abused husbands, there's

115
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: bringing them back to life, there's romance, there's magic, there's witches,

116
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 2: there's female empowerment. There's a cute like East Coast style town.

117
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: There's one of the banger needle drops of all time

118
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: with this kiss and the way it drops in that movie.

119
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: I remember seeing a tweet once where someone was like,

120
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: when this kiss drops in Practical Magic, I could kick

121
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: my way through a wall. And I always think, I'm like, yeah,

122
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 2: really abuse, that doesn't sound cozy, but believe it's actually

123
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: a very delightful, delightful movie. So that's that's my runner.

124
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Up, Aboo, your runner up pick.

125
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: So this one's a bit cliche and a bit basic

126
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: for this crowd, I think, But I have to say

127
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings, any of them, theatrical cut, extended cut,

128
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: run into it, midway, just running on TV. I'm gonna

129
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: sit down and watch the rest.

130
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: We have multiple Discord users right now who are rewatching

131
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: all of the Lord of the Rings, So I think

132
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: it's time is coming.

133
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: Christmas time is Lord of the Rings time for sure.

134
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, couldn't agree more.

135
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Aaron, finish us off. What's your favorite? What's your last

136
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: runner up?

137
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? My other one would be the nineteen eighty five

138
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: classic Clue Yes, insanely quotable and flames the side of

139
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: my face. I love that movie so much. I was

140
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: introduced to it in college and must have rewatched it

141
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: like every other month in college.

142
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: So that's that's definitely like the definition of like a

143
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: cozy movie too. It's like a murder mystery. It's a comedy.

144
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: It has to like the murder, you know.

145
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: Really, it's like it's like.

146
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: That's not so many murder, you know, it's not like

147
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: a violent murder.

148
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: What about it.

149
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: It's like the it's the classic like English style like

150
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: murder mystery where it's just like a palla drama of

151
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: a bunch of people being funny and fantastic costumes, which

152
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: is smiling.

153
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, let's move on to television shows. What are

Speaker 1: cozy comfortable headspace. Rosie, let's start with you.

157
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: I could not answer this without shouting out murder. She wrote,

158
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: the Angela Lansbury classic. I literally watched this show every day.

159
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: If there was like a Nielsen in my house, they

160
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: would be like, why is this woman watching so much

161
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: Murdery wrote, there is a twenty four hour Murder. She

162
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: wrote Channel on Pluto TV, and I just anytime, like

163
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: going to bed, I put that stuff on. Not sure

164
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: what to watch while I'm writing something, I put that

165
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 2: show on. I think I have like a very specific

166
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: singular memory of like being off school ill and it

167
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: being on TV in the middle of the day and

168
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: I like, ate a grilled cheese or something and watched it,

169
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: and for some reason it just invokes this like deeply

170
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: nostalgic feeling. But I love it. I love Jessica Fletcher's

171
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: banging outfits. I love how it's like, obviously it's about

172
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: a mystery, so it fits into like a general coropaganda,

173
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: but also like, I also like that it's also one

174
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: of those shows where there's an old lady who's always

175
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: cleverer than the police, which is like a very funny

176
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: thing to see. And also Angela Andsbrey's amazing and it

177
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: is so watchable, and there are so many episodes. It's

178
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: just just so many good yeah, never ending, yeah, never

179
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: ending amount. So yeah, that's definitely mind. Jason howber Well.

180
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: I just want to shout out the theme song to

181
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: which I have to do. It's wonderful, like baroque piano thing.

182
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I any classic sitcom, like literally any sitcom of the eighties,

183
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: nineties and even the seventies. I've watched so much TV,

184
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: but like, just to quickly listen through some Cheers. You

185
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: can drop into any season of Cheers, any episode of Cheers,

186
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: and just be like, great. I think it's probably the

187
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: greatest pilot sitcom pilot ever. The spinoffs can't go wrong. Fraser,

188
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: you can drop into any episode of Fraser watch anytime

189
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm on the road, and I just love watching like

190
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: local cable TV when I'm on the road, and it

191
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: seems like every time, no matter where I am, Golden

192
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Girls is off and Golden Girls is fantastic. Yeah, I go, like,

193
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: I love the last couple of seasons. There were personality

194
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: conflicts on the Golden Girls that I think you could

195
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: argue maybe started to show through in the way that

196
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: they crafted episode like there were a lot of like

197
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: flashback episodes where the girls are like sitting around a

198
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: table and be like, hey, remember when this thing happened,

199
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: and then they show like something from season three whatever.

200
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: The early seasons of Golden Girls are amazing. Uh, the

201
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson's that's probably my favorite. Incredible felt Seinfeld again, drop

202
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: into any episode except maybe the first season, which is

203
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: they had like four episodes and then they got picked

204
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: up and then did the rest of the season, so

205
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: it's like a little weird. But from season two to

206
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the end, awesome, incredible, can't go wrong. Family matters, can't

207
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: go like just two to seven. Who's the Boss? It's

208
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: classic sitcoms and you can get him in a variety

209
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: of different formats. Many of them are on to be

210
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: go watch a classic sitcom because the formula was iconic

211
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: for a reason.

212
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: I would also say, if you are somebody who struggles

213
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: with the immense choice that streaming offers, you spend thirty

214
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: five dollars of your heart earned money and buy an

215
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: amplified antenna. Because every single night on broadcast television in America,

216
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: especially by me in the California area, there are cheers reruns,

217
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: Fraser reruns, Taxi reruns, Jefferson rerans, Golden Girls reruns, There's

218
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: Ever and I have had such an unbelievable education in

219
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: classic American sitcoms, Who's the Boss reruns and really strange

220
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: ones like oh what is her name? Oh, she's like

221
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: a robot and when she touches her fingers together like

222
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: stops times Small miracles.

223
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: Small miracle. Yeah, I think it only ran for like

224
00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: one season.

225
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: It's a really weird one. But yeah, that's a great

226
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: way to do it if you're not sure, and then

227
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: you could That was how I started my Cheers rerun.

228
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: From the beginning was like I watched Cheers on TV

229
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: and was like, oh, this is one of the best

230
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: TV shows I've ever watched. Like, I've got to watch

231
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: every episode of this.

232
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: You can just go down the era. Anything that was

233
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: a hit in a particular decade that you're interested in

234
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: is going to be interesting to watch. Designing Women just

235
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: watch it. Oh yeah, it just it's all great. So

236
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: that's it classic sitcoms, right you are Boo.

237
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to stick to the sitcom theme. I'm

238
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: going to move away from classic, maybe a bit more contemporary,

239
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: but I love Community. I still remember sitting down well.

240
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: Fact is high high rewatchable factor. Some incredible like the

241
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: D and D episodes I rewatched regularly, Halloween Paul episodes

242
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: of Halloween episodes. There are some iconic episodes with like

243
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: quite frankly the craziest, like guest stars showing up throughout

244
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: this show. For some reason, I love the main cast

245
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: of characters. Abed was one of the first times I

246
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: felt like I saw myself on American television. I remember

247
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine sitting down live and watching

248
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: the first episode and from there, you know, my mom

249
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: knew it was a Thursday night tradition and no one

250
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: was to bother me Thursday nights at eight pm. I

251
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: think it was. Although it did move around eventually, I

252
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: even like when the show, I mean, the show was

253
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: always rocky and never knew if it was going to

254
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: get renewed. But even when it ended up on that

255
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: very short lived Yawhoo weird online streaming service thing, I

256
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: signed up for Yaohoo, just don't watch Community that final

257
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: season of Community because I wanted to see how this

258
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: show that had defined like a decade of my life ended,

259
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: And I still rewatch it all the time.

260
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I have a community take higher highs than the Office,

261
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: higher peaks, I agree, but the Office is obviously much

262
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: more consistent I think throughout, particularly throughout it's the middle

263
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: of its seasons. But higher highs, I think high. I

264
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: think community is higher peaks.

265
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: I think I've never seen I'd never seen another show,

266
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: and I still don't really know if I have seen it.

267
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: I remember being so blown away when I first watched

268
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: it by how it enmeshed like genre storytelling. So like

269
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: you mentioned like the Paintball episode that's the Western episode,

270
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: or the Pillow four episode, or the post apocalyptic episode,

271
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: and even like the prescients of the social media episode

272
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: where they basically do like Logan's run, but it's like

273
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: depending on how many likes you give people like they

274
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: rise up in society and then we've seen that actually

275
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: and up come to pass in certain spaces. Yeah, the

276
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: Miamis and also like an unbelievable cost but yeah, I

277
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: mean I still I still rewatch the Christmas Special. I

278
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: love any kind of stop motion, you know, I love

279
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: OVI it so and I love any Yeah, I revisit

280
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: those genre focused kind of episodes where they would find

281
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: a way to tell a weird joummer story in the

282
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: space of this community college. I think it's very inventive.

283
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: I think, Jason, that's a good caol. Definitely high at

284
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: highs in the office. But I am since I moved

285
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: to America, I am a perennial office rewatcher because it's

286
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: always on TV here yea, and it is very watchable.

287
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: Season two to season four is like it's like the

288
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven Yankees or something. It's just like every episode

289
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh my god, legendary episode. Oh my god,

290
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: legendary episode.

291
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: Anyway, Aaron, I'm going to go with another comedy, Arrested Development,

292
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: which is one that I feel like you can go

293
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 4: in One of the things I love about it, you

294
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: can go in wanting to be completely smooth brained about it,

295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 4: and as you're watching it, you're like, oh, yeah, look

296
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 4: at them. You know, they're hinting at him losing his arm,

297
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: Oh loose seal, Oh great, Oh look at this. They're

298
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 4: like putting all this foreshadowing, And I feel like, by

299
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: the end of an episode, I'm not smooth brain anymore,

300
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 4: Like I'm I'm looking for all the hints and I

301
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 4: love it. And I just nothing to me is as

302
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 4: funny as all of them doing the chicken, like trying

303
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: to figure out how they each do a different chicken invitation.

304
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 4: So Arrested Development is like up there and I'm currently

305
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: rewatching it too, which is probably why it's front of

306
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: mine for me. But yeah, that's those first three seasons, aren't.

307
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think about Carl Weathers in Arrested Development a

308
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: lot when he's like, hey, and you just you got

309
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: a stew going just start boiling. And when Carl Weathers

310
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: passed away, everyone was like, you know, remembering that and

311

312
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: mean we have to give him full credit. Like he said,

313
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: if I'm going to come on the show, I don't

314
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: want to just be like, oh, it's that guy from

315
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: Star Wars. He was like, what if we do a

316
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: bit where just like I'm really really like I'm really

317
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: cheap and I and I was like incredible, Like this

319
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: Also may Whitman, whenever she's like I always think about

320
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: eating the egg and the mayonnaise. You know, she's got

321
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: a little egg mayonnaise going there. You know, little egg

322
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: going there. Yeah, there's some some really fun moments in there. Jason,

323
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: what's your what's your second TV selection?

324
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: My runner up? And I'll just say that I believe

325
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: that anything on a screen is basically television. Same train

326
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: YouTube's Yes, I love I love a train YouTube. Rail

327
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: Cowgirl is a good one with TV with So what

328
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: is You may be asking what is it? What is it?

329
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: What's the train YouTube genre? It's very simple. You take

330
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: it four K ten EIGHTP camera, thirty fps, sixty fps camera.

331
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: You put it on the front of a train or

332
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: out the window of a train. You let the train

333
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: go up through the Fjords of Norway, you know, down

334
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: the French countryside, across any England, anywhere, it doesn't matter

335
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: where the train is going, No, Switzerland. It's great and

336
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: you just put it on when you have to do

337
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: something right and you're doing chores whatever, and you just

338
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: glance at it. You're traveling through through this landscape that

339
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: you're not going to travel through, and it's wonderful. There's

340
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: a there's a I also kind of like the guy

341
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: puts a person puts a camera on their head and

342
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: just walks through Tokyo genre yes, yes, yeah, some of

343
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: those streams, Yes, those are also great and a kind

344
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: of a version of this, but check out the check

345
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: out the trains.

346
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: The trains A yeah, that's I feel like.

347
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 3: Those really blew up in the pandemic when people were

348
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 3: like he did, I'm craving, I can't go out, I'm

349
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: craving something soccer at night and yeah, yep.

350
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great quote. I'm actually you've actually inspired me.

351
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: My original runner up was going to be Midsummer Murders.

352
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: Do you want to give it a shout out? Another

353
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: British murder mystery show great, like nothing that there's no

354
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 2: higher body count than Midsummer It's crazy, it's worst, worst

355
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: than Camp Crystal Lake, like never go there, but it's

356
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: super relaxing to watch. But I'm going to switch out

357
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: because you inspired me. I love a train YouTube. Another

358
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: thing that I love, which is available on broadcast TV

359
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: but you can also watch at online, is the Japanese

360
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: news channel NHK. They have a mixture of Japanese international

361
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: news that they show kind of every half an hour

362
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: or every hour, but they also have a lot of

363
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: original programming, including one of my favorite TV shows that's

364
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: incredibly relaxing to watch called Trails to Oishi, which is

365
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: like Trails to Deliciousness, and every episode is just a

366
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: presenter learning the history of a very specific food, so

367
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: it could be like ginger, or it could be benito,

368
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: like the fish, and they will go through and they'll

369
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: visit a market and they'll show somebody cooking the food

370
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: really deliciously in different ways and that there's like hundreds

371
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: of episodes of it on the NHK website that you

372
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: can watch or the NHK app and it is so relaxing,

373
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: and the voiceovers are incredibly relaxing, and you get to

374
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: see all different beautiful places in Japan, and you get

375
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: to see people eating like very delicious, nicely prepared food.

376
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: It's incredibly relaxing. Every time I'm flicking through TV and

377
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: I see that it's on, I'm like, I have a

378
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: warm glow that fulfills me. So it gives me the

379
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: similar vibe to the train youtubes, which I have watched

380
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: many of. So that's definitely mine a boom.

381
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought that up right, yeah, because it

382
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: would be weird if we talked all four of us

383
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 4: and none of us had any kind of food or

384
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 4: cooking thing. I think that's a big thing for so

385
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 4: many times.

386
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: Definitely, that's a really good point. Actually, yeah, good cooking

387
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: shows are so relaxing. What about yours? You picked on

388
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: that seems unconventional, but I agree.

389
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is maybe a bit of a curve well,

390
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 3: but I put Full Middle Alchemist's Brotherhood down as the

391
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: other TV show that I love to revisit and feels

392
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: comforting to me. I mean, I am not typically the

393
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: type of person that will rewatch or reread or reconsume something,

394
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 3: and so when I rarely do, it's things that really

395
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: resonated with me, even if they made me incredibly sad,

396
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: even if they were tragic, even if they were emotional,

397
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: like much of Full Mental Alchemist is, it still feels

398
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: good to go back to those feelings with the characters

399
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: that I know and love and ultimately know the end

400
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: and know that things will turn out fine. Is also

401
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: enjoyable to go through that journey again with these characters

402
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: that I love so much. So yeah, maybe a curveball pick,

403
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: but Full Mental Heart I love.

404
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: That fantasy really beautifully animated. It is like a story

405
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: at the center about love, So I do totally agree

406
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: with you. I love that show. I didn't get into

407
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 2: it until Brotherhood, but yeah, it's it's it's a really

408
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: great show, Aaron.

409
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the themes of like love, family connection

410
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: it's also good.

411
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's really good. Aaron.

412
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 4: Well about you, speaking of love and family connections. My

Speaker 2: A rewatched show. That's a that's a that's an iconic

416
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 2: contemporary show that people love to rewatch.

417
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: And another show that has like unlimited episodes it feels

418
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 4: like and every single episode very fun, musical creation in there,

419
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: a great guest star. And yeah, and you can turn

420
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: in any of them.

421
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: Shouts to Jimmy Pesto Senior Jay Johnson, currently on his

Speaker 4: Maybe he's listening and he's he's getting some recommendations for

429
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: what to consume.

435
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: that we crack open whenever we need to just take

436
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: a chill, Rosie.

437
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: I'm going to start with one that I have not

438
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: recommended before, which is when I was in London, there's

439
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: a really beautiful book that shopped there called The London

440
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: Review of Books Bookshop, and I picked up a book

441
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: based solely just on its cover, which was called Welcome

442
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: to the hyunam Dong Bookshop, which is by Huang Bo Rium,

443
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: and it is a book about a woman in Korea

444
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: who leaves her life, leaves her husband, leaves the expected

445
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: way that she's supposed to be living, and starts a

446
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: coffee shop. And it is just about the slow day

447
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: to day life of her running the bookshop and hiring

448
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: the guy who's going to make the coffee and buying

449
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: the beans. And it's so relaxing and fantastic that I'm

450
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: still reading it like a year later. Like I love

451
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: this book. I always pick it up. It has such

452
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: a gorgeous cover as well, the hardcover, and it's kind

453
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: of this story just about doing something for yourself and

454
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: unintentionally that becoming kind of a beacon for other people

455
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: who aren't sure what they're supposed to be doing. But

456
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: it's also just such a lovely book to read, like

457
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: it's probably one of my favorite books ever. I can

458
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: say after a year, but it's it's so good, and

459
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: I just always pick it up if I'm feeling a

460
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 2: little bit rough or tired, or i just want to

461
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: like ground myself a bit in like, oh, things are okay,

462
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: you can just do something nice, you can just chill

463
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: out and just do Sometimes it's just important to just

464
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: do something like take your time to make a cup

465
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: of tea and just like enjoy it. It's very much

466
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: that space. And Yeah, I love that book. It's it's

467
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: a really magical book, Jason, what about you.

468
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I love short story collections by almost anyone, John Cheever,

469
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Dorothy Parker, who I'll mention later in a little bit

470
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: more detail. There's something about that genre that I love.

471
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: And one of the more recent ones that I've picked

472
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: up is Hiromi Kawakami's People from My neighborhood, and it's

473
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: how would I describe it? It's little and yetes of

474
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: scenes from around this neighborhood, and they somehow managed to

475
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: capture like the wonder of you know, when you were

476
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: a kid and you'd like be outside with your friends

477
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you'd see something like a grasshopper or

478
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: like a line of laundry that looked strange, something that

479
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: looked interesting, and then you go back and you try

480
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: to tell an adult about it. That that magicalness of

481
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: just a regular scene that you would see around where

482
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: you live, but the magic of seeing it for almost

483
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: the first time and trying to explain it to somebody.

484
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: All these stories are like that. They're just like wonderful,

485
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: Like a little kid who's like laying on the grass

486
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: with like a piece of laundry over room, and the

487
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: weird things that this little kid says. That's like one

488
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: of the stories. It's just they're just wonderful and they're

489
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: super short, really really short. That's what I love about

490
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: a short story, is there the feeling of accomplishment is

491
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: like five to eight pages away. You don't have to

492
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, I'm diving into this five

493
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: hundred page three hundred and fifty page seven hundred page epic.

494
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: You read five pages and you'll be done if you want.

495
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: People from My Neighborhood by Hiromi Kawakami, What about You, Rosie.

496
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: For me, I would say another one is definitely a

497
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: book that I have talked about before, but I think

498
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: it is really up the alleys of the people who

499
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: listen to this, and it is Legends and Lattes by

500
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: Travis Baldry. He also did a follow up recently that's

501
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: a prequel called Bookshops and Bone Dust, and it's basically

502
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: the lowest steaks kind of campaign fantasy that you could imagine.

503
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: The first one is about an orc who retires who

504
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: starts a coffee shop. It's so fantastic and amazing, and

505
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: it's a romance and you feel just as immersed in

506
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: the world as if it were a deep, hard fantasy.

507
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: But there is really not anything conflict or high stakes

508
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: or particularly you know, depressing or scary. There are moments

509
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: the stakes feel high because you're invested in them, but

510
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: there are not anything. There's not anything violent or terrifying

511
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: in most of the books and Bookshops and Bone Dust.

512
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: If anything, it might even be Better, which is a

513
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: prequel about the Orc and this kind of time that

514
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: she spent at a little seaside town. And those are

515
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: just so delightful, super easy to read. They have unbelievable

516
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: cover art, and I just think they're some of the

517
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: loveliest books that I've read. So I've gone through both

518
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: of those a few times in the last couple of years. Aboo,

519
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: how about you, what are your picks?

520
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: Well, before I say my first pick, I'd just have

521
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: to say unequivocally, fuck jk Rowling and her disgusting views.

522
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: I did have to put Harry Potter on this list.

523
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: Fuck jk Rowling absolutely, but really really, Harry Potter holds

524
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: a special place in my heart, and it's hard to

525
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: dislodge that. A lot of my childhood memories are anchored

526
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: around when I read certain Harry Potter books and when

527
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: I could go to the library and pick up the

528
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: next one, when my hold was finally in when I

529
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: got the Pizza Hut book at thing for reading the

530
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: fourth Harry Potter book. You know, like a lot of

531
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: my childhood memories are really locked into these stories. And

532
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: then of course later on, a lot of my memories

533
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 3: are wrapped up in the films and the actors, and

534
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: so it is a comforting place for me to go

535
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: back to and revisit. I have the all the audiobooks,

536
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 3: which are such a treat to listen to, and I

537
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes I'll just like pick a random chapter

538
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: from the fourth book from the Dry Wizard Tournament and

539
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: just listen to it, just to just to go back

540
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: to that place. And so, yeah, Harry Potter is definitely

541
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: a comforting place for me to go back to when

542
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 3: it comes to books.

543
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: And there's lots of ways to steal books today, the

544
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: invention of e books. Just saying if you haven't, I'm

545
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: not saying that you should do that, but I'm just saying,

546
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: you disagree with the views of J. Q. Rallings as

547
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: you should as a right thinking person, and you haven't

548
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: read Harry Potter, and you want to know what all

549
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: the fuss is about. There's there's ways, I don't know,

550
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: just there's ways to steal books, and I don't I'm

551
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: not saying do that, but I'm just saying there are ways.

552
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: Hypothectic, yeah, hyperthactly.

553
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Walker.

554
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: I have two books that kind of count the similar

555
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: point in my life in college when I would I

556
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: discovered the Inner Library alone, and I was just getting

557
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: constant deliveries from other libraries across the US delivered to

558
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 4: my college library where I would read graphic novels. And

559
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: one that I discovered in college for the first time

560
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: was Blankets, which I think is just one of the

561
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 4: most heartwarming books for anyone who ever loved emo music

562
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 4: like that book is for you. And the other one

563
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 4: that I actually found sitting in the library that they

564
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: owned there was called Vampire Loves by Joan Safar, and

565
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: it is a beautiful book. We've had a lot of

566
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: discussions about vampires on the show already. I am not

567
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 4: a spooky loving person. This is not a spooky book,

568
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: but a very very cute book. So both of them

569
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: to me are just like perfect, like warm books to read,

570
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 4: like romantic, warm, graphic novels that I really love.

571
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: What's your runner up and then we'll send it back

572
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: to ABU.

573
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: So my runner up would be the Red Wall series.

574
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: In particular for me, Martin the Warriors is I think

575
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 4: the first one I ever read, and therefore probably the

576
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: one I reread the most, and it came back to

577
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 4: me because this year Magic The Gathering had a set

578
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: that was very It was not a Red Wall set,

579
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: but it was small woodland animals, very reminiscent of Red Wall.

580
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: It wound up not being as good as I would

581
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: have hoped, but the Red Wall vibes were so strong

582
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 4: it made me. It made me miss and long for

583
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: that period of time when I was reading Red Wall books.

584
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a copy of Red Wall, the first one,

585
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: right next to my bed, and it's one of my

586
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 2: like go to if I can't sleep. It's like time

587
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: to read about some delicious feasts that these animals are making,

588
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: Like I love a delectable feast about what are your

589
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: last runner runners up for books?

590
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: So I'm going to shout out two things here. I

591
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 3: definitely want to call out the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

592
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 3: I think it's iconic sci fi, and in particular the

593
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: first three or I think such a great story. The

594
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: latter three, in my opinion, are a bit skippable. He

595
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: was kind of forced to write those by his publisher.

596
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: But the first three I think are iconic in the

597
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: scisfy space for a reason. The world that Asimov creates

598
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: in his early twenties, by the way he wrote the

599
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 3: first one at like twenty one twenty two, which makes

600
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 3: me feel terrible about myself. But I just love going

601
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: back to those stories.

602
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: And so they're kind of poorly written, but like they're good.

603
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

604
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Those wise, it's not like you're like, holy shit, this

605
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: guy's share so yeah yeah.

606
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 3: No, no, no, yes, it's very it's like very accessible, yes,

607
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: very accessible, very simple to consume and broken up to

608
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: your point Jason about short stories, the first book in

609
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: particular is like broken up into like a bunch of

610
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: short stories because it was released series lives to begin with,

611
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: and so it's really easy to just like pick it

612
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: up and read one of them real quick. So I

613
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: love the Foundation series.

614
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: I think we read it together kind of for like

615
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: a book club.

616
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I read Aaron read it for our book Yeah,

617
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: and I couldn't.

618
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 4: I couldn't finish it.

619
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, d you gave it a try that

620
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah I tried.

621
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. The time skips were a little confusing for at

622
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: the book club. I think people were not prepared. I

623
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: didn't prepare everyone enough. And the other quick thing I

624
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: want to shout out again, this goes back to my childhood.

625
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 3: I would go to the library. I would randomly pick

626
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 3: whatever Dragonball manga was on the shelf that week. Yeah,

627
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: and I basically read dragon Ball like entirely out of order.

628
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: That's the way we all did the comics when we

629
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: were young man and there was no online like we

630
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: were just picking up whatever was available.

631
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, Akira Toriyama rest in peace. He

632
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: his work definitely holds a special place in my heart,

633
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: and I love revisiting the manga. Dragonball Dima, the final

634
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 3: piece of work that Toriama ever created in the dragon

635
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: Ball world, is actually streaming now, and I've been loving

636
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: watching that because it's it's a throwback to old school

637
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 3: dragon Ball.

638
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 2: I do think that for the epic scope of dragon

639
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: Ball and the kind of perception that it has as

640
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: this kind of like super action packed especially in the

641
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: like later an animated versions, the original dragon Ball manga

642
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: actually are so cozy looking, like the character designs are

643
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 2: super cute, like they're always just in like a funny call,

644
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: going somewhere trying to find a dragon Ball. Yeah, great, pick,

645
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: I love that, right.

646
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's a that's a great point, Rosie. Like Dragonball,

647
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: A lot of people think dragon Ball is like muscle men,

648
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: punching each other, and that's why people watch it. But

649
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 3: it's actually very cute and very silly and very funny,

650
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 3: and like none of it makes sense really. You know,

651
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: if you think too hard about it, you're you're doing

652
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 3: the wrong thing. It's not it's not a show that's

653
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 3: meant to be thought hard about. You're just supposed to enjoy,

654
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: enjoy the world that Toriama created. That's what I love

655
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: about the original Dragon Ball.

656
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,240

Speaker 1: I love Wit when I love witty writers, which is

671
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: why I love Dorothy Parker. Check out her short stories,

672

Speaker 2: my all time favorites. He's He's truly a man who

701
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: would have excelled in the age of an online drag.

702
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: He always had a quippie wait you wait, I mean

703

Speaker 2: you inspired me, actually, Jason, I was. I want to

704
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: shout out what my last pick was going to be

705
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 2: before the coffee gets called by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. And that's

706
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: still a fantastic book. It's a it's a cozy time

707
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 2: travel book set in a cafe. As you can tell,

708
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 2: there's a cafe theme. But I have a copy of

709
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: Groucho Marx Letters collection that was published by Penguin. You

710
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 2: can still find it, and I returned to it so

711
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: much because those are some of the funniest, weirdest. There's

712
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: a letter in there, I think about a lot where

713
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers were cease and desisting the Marx Brothers about

714
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: a night in Casablanca because they said it was too

715
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 2: much like Casablanca. So Groucho wrote them a letter cease

716
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 2: and desisting them because they were called Warner Bros. And

717
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: the Marx Bros Had existed before and like so much

718
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: good stuff like that. So yeah, that's that's another if

719
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: you're a fan of those kind of wild celebrity kind

720
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: of insights, those those Groucho Marx letters collections are really fantastic.

721
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: Next up video games cozy video games. It's a genre

722
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: that has exploded certainly since the pandemic. Rosie your cozy

723
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: video game, Top cozy video game? Pick.

724
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to go for a classic because I

725
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: know you're going to pick one of my go tos,

726
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: so I'm going to go for Animal Crossing. I think

727
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 2: it was the game. Obviously, New Horizons was the game

728
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: that got a lot of people through the pandemic. I've

729
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: loved Animal Crossing since it was on the three DS.

730
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: It is a cozy life sim where you play as

731
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: a cute human in a town of animals, and depending

732
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: on the game, you are either an inhabitant, a mayor

733
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: in New Horizons, you were helping essentially, not sounding too

734
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: cozy here, but it is a fair critique colonize like

735
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: a random island, so you know, ignore that part. But yeah,

736
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: you work alongside Tinookie Tom Nook, who is essentially like

737
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: a really hardcore landlord, and you build a awful house

738
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: and you hang out with your neighbors. And it was

739
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: the game that got my sister and my mom into

740
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: video games. It was a huge thing. We had birthday

741
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: parties for people on our islands during the pandemic. It

742
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 2: was amazing to see people enjoy it. And the New

743
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: Horizons on the Switch, which is the most recent, Animal

744
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: Crossing is still one of my most revisited games. It's

745
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: always fun to just pop back in and check on

746
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: your island or see what your island's doing, especially since

747
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: they added a patch that stopped your islanders from being

748
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: so passive aggressive because they used to you would you

749
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: would go back to your island and they would be like, yeah,

750
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: I thought you were ignoring.

751
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: There's a lot of cockroaches in your house, like they

752
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: would be really and I am with one of.

753
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: The last updates they did, they made it so it

754
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 2: was a bit more like, hey man, nice to see you,

755
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 2: because like it became such an online thing. But yeah,

756
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: that's mine, Jason. How about how about your topic.

757
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: Love animal crossing listen Stardo Valley can't go wrong, Starduo

758
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: Valley wrong, Stardoo Valleys ever made, truly one of the

759
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: best ever made. I think I think you could say

760
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: it's in the top three, and it's not three, like

761
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: I think, I think you can truly say that about

762
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: Stardo Valley and the newest patch, Patch one point six

763
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: point nine is being pushed out as we are recording this,

764
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: and it has lots of balance and quality of life

765
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: changes that I think people are going to appreciate. I

766
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: am playing it again because gosh, I just love to

767
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: play it. I love to make wine, I love to

768
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: explore the dungeons, I love to explore the mines, and

769
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: I love to do romance. That's the part, you know.

770
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: I have mostly just been farming and creating products. And

771
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: it's only now that I'm really starting to engage with

772
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: the townsfolk in a meaningful way.

773
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's the part of the game. You're going to

774
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 2: love that whole.

775
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Another part of the game is so rich and deep,

776
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: and it's it meets you exactly at the level of

777
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: dedication that you want to have with a video game.

778
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,479
Speaker 1: And I will just say I went through a dark

779
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: period thinking about capitalism over the last couple of years

780
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: where I just I realized that even in our most

781
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: imaginary spaces where you can just imagine any world that

782
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: you want place it, like in a video game like

783
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: Stardey Valley or Animal Crossing, we are still incapable of

784
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: thinking about a world in which you do not create

785
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: products to sell at a market for profit. That's all

786
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: we've run out of. I just feel like it's I

787
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: hate capitalism. The bad parts of it are truly terrible,

788
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: Like it's the vast machinery of its wheels. It's crushing

789
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: people under them, under within its gears every day, all

790
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: the time. At the same time, I can't I actually

791
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: can't imagine another system. I can't figure it out, and

792
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: neither can we. I think we're at a we're at

793
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: an end point where we can't figure out another way

794
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: to do things other than even in a cute sea way,

795
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: even in the most cute, wonderful way in which you

796
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: don't kill the animals, you still make mayonnaise out of

797
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: the eggs, and you still make you still make cheese

798
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: out of their their beautiful milk, and you sell it.

799
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: That's it. But all that said, Stardoo Valley is amazing,

800
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: and if you have not played it, you can play

801
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: it on any platform, and it is again one of

802
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: the what's it's such a dollar.

803
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: And you will get you thousands of hours of joy.

804
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: For me, the amount of content that it gives you

805
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: for fifteen dollars is a joke, and it is truly.

806
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: It's like we've been playing it for ten years now.

807
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: It is truly. Sincerely. Forget Halo, forget Black Ops, forget

808
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: every other game. I love those games. It is one of,

809
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: if not the greatest video game of all time, simply

810
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: on the value proposition of the amount of things that

811
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: it gives you for the money it charges you. It

812
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: is an incredible video game.

813
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: I also, I want to say that.

814
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 3: We argue that it revitalized the cozy game genre. Oh

815
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: definitely cozy games out now mimics Stardi Valley and Started

816
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 3: Valley is like, I think we're gonna say the same thing.

817
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: Rules of Harvest Moon mixed with animal crossing like different things,

818
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: but complay it into or should I say, like streamlined

819
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: into such an appealing space to live in. I don't

820
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: want also say I think the reach of Stardew Valley

821
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: can be shown in the We had a group we

822
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 2: have an x ray vision group chat obviously, and Jason.

823
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 4: Was like, Jason was like, guys, yeah, we get this

824
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 4: weekend from Jason. It just says I have an emergency situation.

825
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 4: I wanted to make everyone aware of the trees in

826
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 4: my greenhouse are not growing? What am I doing growing?

827
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: They're they're growing now?

828
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah to me, Like the fact literally every single common Aboo,

829
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: Aaron and I we all had thoughts and we were

830
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: all like, Okay, here's what you might be doing wrong.

831
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 2: Like that was such a huge reach of different video

832
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: gaming tendencies, different video gaming you know, commitments, Triple A gamers,

833
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: platform gamers like myself, like switch gamers, Xbox gamers, all

834
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: of us immediately had deep insightful opinions about what Jason

835
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 2: could do, and I think that really shows the reach

836
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 2: of this game, which I do agree. I don't think

837
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: it's hyperbolic to say, especially as the game is, or

838
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: was up until very recently, entirely made by one person.

839
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 2: I think I think maybe he has a few helpers.

840
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: Now I'm not one hundred percent sure, but still like

841
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: unbelievable and including the music, including that music, which is

842
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: absolutely another reason that you will get so much joy

843
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: and wonder out of that game.

844
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 3: Uh, Aaron, When we hand out candy on Halloween, we

845
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 3: turn on the Fall music for starting valid put it

846
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 3: on at speaker and the kids come by and yeah,

847
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: like it's the music. It's like there's so many layers

848
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 3: to it. I mean, to Jason's point, the game will

849
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 3: meet you wherever you want. Like if you're a junkie

850
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 3: like me, there is lower in.

851
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: This there's really really serious story.

852
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 2: Here in our house, we are constantly in conversation because

853
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: Nick has I know, maybe like a hundred hours of

854
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 2: starduw locked or something. It's like an unbelieva He's he's

855
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 2: at the point where he's like a billionaire in Star Dew.

856
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 2: He has, he has the return stick, he he never

857
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 2: needs anything, but we are always having He is of

858
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: the belief, which is a large part of stardew Law

859
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: is like that the wizard's daughter is one of the inhabitants.

860
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: I will say who because it's like it's depending on

861
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: the kind of route you take. But like, there is

862
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: so much deep law in the game.

863
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: It's insane. It doesn't make sense.

864
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 2: It doesn't make a game.

865
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: Is that good?

866
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: But I think as well, I think that speaks to

867
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 2: the power of creating like a game that builds a community,

868
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: because then, like anything we talk about this a lot,

869
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: whether it's the Marvel fam Wikias or Dungeons and Dragons homebrew,

870
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: like fan fans have long been in charge of expanding

871
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: and chronicling law, and I think that is what happens

872
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: when you make something that's like truly magical, like Starduo Vally.

873
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 3: I also want to shout out there's a board game

874
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 3: version of Starduo Valley that's very.

875
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 2: Fun to play.

876
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 3: I immediately bought it when they announced it. And there's

877
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 3: also now a cookbook which I have been trying to

878
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 3: get my out.

879
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 2: I I have the Stardu Valley they also made us.

880
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 2: They make a starduw Valley Game Guide that they re

881
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 2: up every three years. It's so beautiful. It's official, you

882
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: can go in, you can make notes on the characters.

883
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: It's really beautiful. And they release all the soundtracks on

884
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: vinyl now, so we do have those. If anyone wants

885
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: to official starduw Valley podcast. If you're listening to this,

886
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 2: obviously we are the people to do it, because this

887
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: could have just been a Starduo Valley episode. Aaron and Aboo,

888
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: what are your other as Starduo Valley lovers? What are

889
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 2: your are the cozy video games that you go to?

890
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 4: I'll do actually my runner up first, because it bounces

891
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: off Stardu really well. If you just listened to us

892
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 4: and you hadn't played Stardoo and you were like, oh

893
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 4: my god, a thousand hours that sounds like way too much.

894
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 4: I have a suggestion for you. It's called a Short Hike.

895
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 4: It's on Nintendo Switch. I think it's like seven bucks.

896
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 4: It is a it's a quote unquote open world if

897
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 4: the open world were like one square mile. It is

898
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 4: a beautifully rendered game where you play this little bird

899
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 4: penguin character and you can soar and float and you

900
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 4: go around the island and you help people do things,

901
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 4: and there are all these cute little characters, and it

902
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 4: is it feels like a little Pixar Open World Zelda

903
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 4: game kind of. And you can finish it in one sitting.

904
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

905
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: Aboo, how about you.

906
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 3: I'm going to just share all of mine at once

907
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 3: very quickly. Mass Effect is a trilogy that I revisit constantly.

908
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: I replay them all the time. There's there's a remaster

909
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: legendary edition out now. That's the best way to play

910
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 3: the game. Four K sixty. They upgraded some of the

911
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 3: old school mechanics that are that used to be clunky.

912
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: It's more modern gameplay. It's amazing. I love the universe,

913
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 3: I love the characters. I've read all the comics, so

914
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 3: I've consumed every Mass Effect thing out there. It's my

915
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 3: all time favorite series. I play it and replay it

916
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 3: all the time. And if you're somebody who like me,

917
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 3: loves an RPGG game with an incredible cast of characters

918
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 3: with an amazing story. If you love sci fi, you

919
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 3: have to check out Mass Effect. And the other one

920
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: I quickly want to shout out is this mobile game

921
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 3: that I got really addicted to during the pandemic many motorways,

922
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 3: and it has a sort of a sister game called

923
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 3: Mini Metro where you have to It's very cute and simplistic,

924
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 3: but quickly becomes complex because you have to create a

925
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 3: metro system for an increasingly for a population that continues

926
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 3: to grow and grow and grow and grow, or you

927
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 3: have to create like a road system for an increasing

928
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 3: number of cars on the road, and that sounds stressful,

929
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 3: but the graphics are very pastel and simplistic. The controls

930
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: are very simple. You just like drag and drop different roads,

931
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 3: and then you get features like highways to help you

932
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 3: manage roads, and stop lights to manage like intersection areas,

933
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: and something about it is like really satisfying to my

934
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 3: brain to just like watch all the little cars drive

935
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 3: around on these perfectly manicured roads I've created where everything

936
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 3: is operating so efficiently and beautifully. And then it gets

937
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 3: stressful because then it just keeps increasing the population and

938
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 3: things get wildly out of control, and suddenly you realize,

939
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 3: like why cities like New York don't work. And it's

940
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: beautiful and fun and it's like a perfect on your

941
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 3: commute to work on the bus sort of play on

942
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: your phone game.

943
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 2: I will add my last edition is another mobile game,

944
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: which which came out twenty twenty three as part of

945
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: Apple Arcade. I believe it's going to be released as

946
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 2: an actual like anyone can play mobile game this year.

947
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 2: It's called Japanese Rural Life Adventure and it's basically Stardu

948
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: Valley eight bit style, but you move into to a

949
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 2: Japanese rural town. There's no romance, and you just become

950
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: a part of the community and you fix things and

951
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 2: you help people out and you collect things and it is.

952
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: It like consumed my life for like four months when

953
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: I first started playing it. It's so appealing. The music

954
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 2: is fantastic, the visuals are beautiful. Yeah, ten out of

955
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 2: ten just love that game.

956
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: My final really quick runner up for is just cheating.

957
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: Cheating at any video game. It's a lot easier. It's

958
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: easy on PC obviously, where there's a million different mods

959
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: for any type of game. The SIMS is probably the

960
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: first game where I really got where I just really

961
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: said fuck working, I want all the money so I

962
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: can just buy stuff and make my house amazing. But

963
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: Fallout and Skyrim both have thriving mod communities on console,

964
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: whether it's Xbox and PlayStation that allow you to do

965
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: like God and just like run through the game, rank

966
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: up your guy immediately, never get killed, have all the

967
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: money you want, buy all the stuff of your house.

968
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: It's a great way to go through a game sometimes

969
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: to just turn on a game for two hours, max

970
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: out your stats, and just go on a buying spree,

971
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: a designing spree, a killing spree, whatever, without any kind

972
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: of fear that anything bad is going to happen to

973
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: your character. They're gonna get murked at all whatever. I

974
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: love going through Fallout like this. I love building huge

975
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: bases and Fallout with just like God mode money. I

976
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: love going through Skyrim with just like incredible dual wielding

977
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: magical powers and just turning people into piles of ash

978
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: or turning them into like berserk, turning guards berserk so

979
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: that they just go out and start attacking people. It's fun.

980
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: It's fun, and it's low stakes, and it's a great

981
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: way to play, to replay a game that you've played

982
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: a million times. Cheat. Go ahead and do it.

983
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 2: That's your permission, guys, to just cheat's.

984
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. And then finally, yes, talk about games.

985
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 2: Let's talk about alcoholbies.

986
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: Let's talk about hobbies that get us through. Rosie. What's

987
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: a good hobby that you go to when you just

988
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: want to relax?

989
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 2: You know, someone else, stop because I've got construction next

990
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: to my house, Jason, what's your favorite hobby?

991
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: Taking photographs? Listen. You don't need it. You don't need

992
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: a expensive camera to take nice photographs and to make

993
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: them look good. You can do them. You can take

994
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: photographs with your phone. You can frame them up. The

995
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: latest iPhones and the most recent iPhones have different kinds

996
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: of exposure controls that you use to make your photos

997
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: look great. Everybody, listen. Everybody posts photos to Facebook, to Instagram,

998
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: to whatever. What about making yours look nice? It's fun

999
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: to do and it's easy. You can also, if you

1000
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: actually wanted to get into cameras, there's a million, billion

1001
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: zillion cameras that you can get for cheap on eBay,

1002
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: including like early digital cameras. I got my first digital

1003
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: camera that I actually liked was like a Cannon Power

1004
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: Shot G nine, which came out I think in like

1005
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. I got it for like fifty

1006
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: nine bucks. It took wonderful photographs. And I enjoyed using it,

1007
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: and it's a great way for a person like me,

1008
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: where like sometimes you have social awkwardness and it's weird

1009
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,959
Speaker 1: to take out your phone and be scrolling your phone.

1010
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: You know you're that person, right Sometimes, like in a gathering,

1011
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: when it's like, oh, the conversation kind of dies and

1012
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: the person I know walked away, I'll just scroll my

1013
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: phone for a little bit. Why not take photos of

1014
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: a fun event when friends gathered and you can have

1015
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: those memories. It's a great way to stay present but

1016
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: also be distant and constably distant and engage when you

1017
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: want to engage when you have that little bit of

1018
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: social awkwardness, take photographs, Rosie. Oh, and I'll say secondarily,

1019
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: since we're doing these fast, now, make music do you

1020
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: have on your phone? There's you don't have to like

1021
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money, but there's a there's many

1022
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: fruit loops. There's a free version for you so you

1023
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: can do on your phone or on your tablet. That

1024
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: is a fun way to just make music and do

1025
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: it very very easily, And it's a great way to

1026
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: just like chew up hours hours and hours and hours

1027
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: of time. Make a little ditty turn it into your ringtone.

1028
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: It's fun. Yeah, Rosie, what about.

1029
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 2: You, I've loved I just want to say, I've loved

1030
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 2: seeing your kind of exploration of photography. It's been like

1031
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 2: a total joy to see that. So it's also nice

1032
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: when you when you take photos for your friends to

1033
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 2: see them.

1034
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 3: You know, that's been so especially the Donna photos, more

1035
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 3: of those, of course.

1036
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 2: We always Donna's a legend. Yeah. So for me, I

1037
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: I've always thought I'm not really a crafty person. I've

1038
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: always I like to like, I just don't feel like

1039
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: I have like the vision or the hand coordinate hand

1040
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 2: eye coordination. But in the last year I've gotten really

1041
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 2: really into crocheting. It was actually totally doable and the

1042
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: big secret for me. I had lots of fantastic friends

1043
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 2: who are enter crocheting and knitting. But my sweet friend James,

1044
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 2: who we had on the podcast, he took me to

1045
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: a shop called the Knitting Tree, and I was taught

1046
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: by a fantastic woman called Brenda, who is a costume designer,

1047
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 2: how to single crochet. And that changed my life because

1048
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 2: she explained it to me in a way I understood.

1049
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: It was a free gathering. There's lots of local, great

1050
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 2: groups like this, and since then I have crocheted many

1051
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 2: jumpers sweaters as you may call them if you're American.

1052
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 2: I crochet gifts, I crochet gloves, I croche weird wall hangings.

1053
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: I am doing much crocheting for Christmas. It keeps your

1054
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: hands busy, keeps your mind busy. You've got to be

1055
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: counting those rows. So it's been an absolute boon for

1056
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: my mental health. Another thing that I recently discovered is

1057
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: there was a fantastic artist called Shingyon Kore who is

1058
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 2: a comics artist, but who also makes these things called

1059
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: Keepsake games. And it's basically a game that when you

1060
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 2: finish playing it, you are left with something to keep,

1061
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: and it can be a map that you have stitched

1062
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 2: your character's adventure on, or it can be a journal

1063
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 2: that is full of letters that you've written between different characters.

1064
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 2: And they regularly kickstart their games and crowd fund them,

1065
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: and that is some of the most fulfilling kind of

1066
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: chewing up hours and then having something that you can

1067
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 2: kind of look back on and go, oh, this is like,

1068
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I spent my time doing that. So

1069
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 2: those have been the big two. For me recently, crafting

1070
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 2: has been a great outlet, so I would definitely recommend

1071
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 2: exploring your version of it.

1072
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Aboo.

1073
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 3: So the first one I have down is running, and

1074
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 3: I realized this is an episode about cozy things, and

1075
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: I've said a lot of not cozy things so far

1076
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 3: on the episode, but for the people who are like running,

1077
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 3: oh my god, that's the least coziest thing I can

1078
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 3: think of. I was in the same boat like my

1079
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 3: entire life, and it wasn't until this year that I

1080
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 3: took it a bit more seriously, mostly because of an

1081
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 3: existential crisis around turning thirty and realizing everyone in my

1082
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 3: family died of heart disease and I don't want to

1083
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 3: go the same way. But it turned into a thing

1084
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 3: that is actually really joyful, Like the thing that does

1085
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 3: it for me on a run is audiobooks. Like music

1086
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 3: is too high key and makes me run too hard

1087
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 3: and tire myself out too fast.

1088
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 4: Well, as we've established on extra episodes, that's because you're

1089
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 4: listening to imagine dragons when you Yeah, that's fair.

1090
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's the wrong kind of music. Yeah, I

1091
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 3: can't believe you've ben out me like this. Aaron put

1092
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 3: it on the side. Yeah, true, I said it publicly.

1093
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 3: I do listen to Imagine Dragons and other bad music

1094
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 3: on runs, but I mostly listen to audiobooks on runs.

1095
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 3: It's a great way to not only do my other

1096
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 3: favorite hobby, reading, but also it just lets me just

1097
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 3: chill on a run and run around slowly and be

1098
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 3: healthier about it. And it's been great. I've been doing

1099
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 3: it for the past year and I went from like

1100
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: not being able to even hobble through a single mile

1101
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 3: to comfortably being able to run a ten k now

1102
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 3: and hopefully you know, in the next couple of months,

1103
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 3: i'll be I'll be participate in my first race. And

1104
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 3: maybe someday I thought, like, it's a it's really become

1105
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 3: a thing that I didn't think I would like and

1106
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 3: now I've come to love. So give it a chance,

1107
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 3: and maybe, like, don't do music. I know there are

1108
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 3: people raw dogging running. I don't think I can do that,

1109
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 3: just like my thoughts, but audiobooks might be a way

1110
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 3: to help you maintain a steady pace. The other thing,

1111
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a hobby or just

1112
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 3: a lifestyle choice that I've made for myself, But on

1113
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 3: particularly bad days, I will watch bad reality TV and

1114
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 3: order fast food like Taco Bell. Aaron dogs me about

1115
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 3: eating Taco Bell all the time, But yeah, I mean,

1116
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's the thing that will always

1117
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 3: make me feel cozy after a particularly stressful or bad day.

1118
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 3: Throw on something that's totally mindless married at first sight,

1119
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 3: they're like hour to half a long episodes and you

1120
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 3: really only have to pay attention to like ten minutes

1121
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 3: of them, like use twenty percent of your brain to

1122
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: pay attention to it. So those are my two things.

1123
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 3: What about you erin?

1124
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 4: This is something that started for me during Pandemic. I

1125
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 4: started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some friends, and we

1126
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 4: had our very first in person game, you know, two

1127
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 4: years into pandemic or so, and we had been playing online,

1128
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 4: and so this was our first chance to buy minis.

1129
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 4: And my friend was like, I'm bringing a bunch of paint,

1130
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 4: bring your minis, I'll bring some others and we're gonna

1131
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 4: paint our characters. And I can't tell you how much

1132
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 4: fun I had, like with all these friends from college,

1133
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 4: waking up in the morning, sitting out on the porch

1134
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 4: watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and we'd

1135
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 4: be painting miniatures and it wound up being something that

1136
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 4: I have bought more miniatures without even having physical games

1137
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 4: of D and D to play. It's a really fun

1138
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 4: thing to just sit, listen to some music, have something

1139
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 4: to drink, whether it be coffee or tea or you know,

1140
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 4: a tequila or whatever, and just paint because it's a

1141
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,439
Speaker 4: hand eye coordination thing. But it's also not me looking

1142
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 4: at a screen, which feels very rare these days so

1143
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 4: many times, like we talked about TV, movie, video games,

1144
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 4: et cetera. This is it's just this beautiful, little quiet

1145
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 4: moment that I can just live in with. You know, whatever,

1146
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 4: silly little dwarf, I'm going to give him blue pants,

1147
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 4: and you know, there's so many different characters that you

1148
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 4: can play around with, and eventually I'll use them in

1149
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 4: some actual physical D and D game, But until then,

1150
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 4: that's I don't need anything for it. It's just this fun,

1151
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 4: little semi creative, semi artistic, semi mind turning off activity

1152
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 4: that I really love.

1153
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: We've really cozied. I think that's something here for everyone.

1154
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, I think there is something here for everyone. Hopefully, folks,

1155
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:42,000
