0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the type of stuff that we love digging into on

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a cold winter's day and things are just a little

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>chaotic outside and we want to feel wrapped in the

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>warm embrace of something, be it a fine knitted quilt

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>or a good book. Let's start with movies, folks, what

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of movies do you love? To watch on a

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>day when you want to feel cozy.

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Rosie Well, I am a lover of all things cozy,

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>as listeners know, and I am going to start because

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>it is the season. It's November. Might be a bit

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>early for some, but the Hallmark original Christmas programming has

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>become and I am going to recommend that you watch

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>any kind of Christmas Hallmark bootleg Hallmark though of course,

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>we respect the Hallmark brand here, and those movies will

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>help you turn your brain off and turn your Christmas

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>spirit on.

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that cinnamon?

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I smell?

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>You?

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Ready to have a peppermint latte mocha?

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Are we meant to keep that up this whole episode?

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>My first movie, I want to mention when I want

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to just smooth out the lobes, just smooth them out.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love to smooth the lobe Just.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Just rub them, rub them down, get them all shiny

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and smooth, like a like a piece of Plato, delicious

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>piece of Plato. Folks. It's not mind blowing or original

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars episode four. You know how it goes. It's

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>called a new Hope. You've you know it, you've seen it,

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you've watched it. You're thinking I've seen it so many times.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Just put it on for five minutes and try to

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>turn it off. Just try it exactly. You won't. You won't,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you won't be able to, you won't do it, because

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>next thing you know, those crazy Droids are getting waylaid

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>by the Jahwas and then Dobe one is showing up

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and saving Luke, and then Luke is on the Millennium

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Falcon and all that stuff is happening, and next thing

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're doing the bombing run on the Death

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Star and all is right with the universe except for

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the back that Chewbocket didn't get a medal Star Wars

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Episode four. Great, But what about you? Your a movie

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that feels like coziness?

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 3>For me, It's the Digimon movie. And I guess this

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 3>recommendation extends to basically anything Momrojosta has ever directed. Summerwards

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>where I most recently bell all extremely beautiful films that

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know just make me feel like a kid.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>My sister and I rewatch the Digimon movie together every year,

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>and we've watched it ever since we were kids, and

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 3>it just transports me back to that headspace. It's such

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 3>a good time.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love someone Wars. That's a great, great pick.

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 2>What a director, Aaron, how about you?

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna kind of mirror a Boo with a children's

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 4>movie and mine's my neighbor Totoro, great one. She turned

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 4>it on a couple of weeks ago, and I just

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 4>heard the theme song and I was like, Okay, I

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm doing. Like I'm coming out of you know,

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 4>the other room, and I'm going to sit down and

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 4>watch this. It's such a beautiful movie. There are so

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 4>many moments that make you smile on it, and so

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 4>many things where I was just like, there's no way

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna sit on the couch and watch the

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 4>whole movie right now.

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I love that one. Yeah, that's a really special one. Jason,

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>what's your second pick?

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Our runners up? My first runner up is a

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>movie that came out in nineteen eighty two. It's a nonlinear,

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>very unconventional movie, kind of the pioneer of the video edit,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the YouTube edit, the social media edit, cinema edit genre.

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It is ko Yanis Katzi by Godfrey Reggio. It's a

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>hypnotic movie. It's absolutely incredible. Shot in was it thirty five?

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what film socket is, but it's just

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like incredibly high def for the time, shot in often

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>slow mo video speeds, so you get these incredible moments

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of like on the sure nature moving in slow motion, monks.

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>And then civilization being built really built lost.

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>An incredible score by Philip Glass that you will recognize

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>when you put this movie on, and you know you

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have to think about it. You can glance away

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>from it and glance back and be like, oh my god,

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>what's happening now? Fantastic movie currently streaming free as well

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>on two be Pluto and Roku channel, so you can

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>just pop it on, pop it on and listen to

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Be's gonna give you the ads. But if you like

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>what you see, pick up the pick.

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Up the Blu ray, Yeah, pick up the collection, give

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>it a try. Yeah. My next one, I'm gonna go

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>this is a more Both of these are more contemporary

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 2>rosy selections. I'd never seen a Hallmark movie until I

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 2>moved to America. I had deeply deprived myself throughout my

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>life due to internalized misogyny of watching any kind of

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>like rom coms and thinking I could enjoy them. So

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>my next one is a movie I've already watched twice

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>this month that I'm sure I will continue to watch

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that I love, which is Practical Magic Class. I had

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>never watched this movie until a couple of years ago.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock. There's murdering of abused husbands, there's

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>bringing them back to life, there's romance, there's magic, there's witches,

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 2>there's female empowerment. There's a cute like East Coast style town.

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>There's one of the banger needle drops of all time

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>with this kiss and the way it drops in that movie.

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I remember seeing a tweet once where someone was like,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>when this kiss drops in Practical Magic, I could kick

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>my way through a wall. And I always think, I'm like, yeah,

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.679
<v Speaker 2>really abuse, that doesn't sound cozy, but believe it's actually

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>a very delightful, delightful movie. So that's that's my runner.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Up, Aboo, your runner up pick.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 3>So this one's a bit cliche and a bit basic

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 3>for this crowd, I think, But I have to say

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Lord of the Rings, any of them, theatrical cut, extended cut,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 3>run into it, midway, just running on TV. I'm gonna

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>sit down and watch the rest.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>We have multiple Discord users right now who are rewatching

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>all of the Lord of the Rings, So I think

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>it's time is coming.

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Christmas time is Lord of the Rings time for sure.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, couldn't agree more.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Aaron, finish us off. What's your favorite? What's your last

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>runner up?

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? My other one would be the nineteen eighty five

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 4>classic Clue Yes, insanely quotable and flames the side of

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 4>my face. I love that movie so much. I was

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 4>introduced to it in college and must have rewatched it

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 4>like every other month in college.

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's definitely like the definition of like a

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>cozy movie too. It's like a murder mystery. It's a comedy.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>It has to like the murder, you know.

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Really, it's like it's like.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>That's not so many murder, you know, it's not like

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a violent murder.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>What about it.

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like the it's the classic like English style like

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>murder mystery where it's just like a palla drama of

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of people being funny and fantastic costumes, which

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 2>is smiling.

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Okay, let's move on to television shows. What are

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the TV shows that we check back in on or

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>watch that are currently on that put us in a

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>cozy comfortable headspace. Rosie, let's start with you.

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I could not answer this without shouting out murder. She wrote,

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the Angela Lansbury classic. I literally watched this show every day.

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>If there was like a Nielsen in my house, they

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>would be like, why is this woman watching so much

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Murdery wrote, there is a twenty four hour Murder. She

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>wrote Channel on Pluto TV, and I just anytime, like

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>going to bed, I put that stuff on. Not sure

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>what to watch while I'm writing something, I put that

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.599
<v Speaker 2>show on. I think I have like a very specific

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>singular memory of like being off school ill and it

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>being on TV in the middle of the day and

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I like, ate a grilled cheese or something and watched it,

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and for some reason it just invokes this like deeply

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>nostalgic feeling. But I love it. I love Jessica Fletcher's

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 2>banging outfits. I love how it's like, obviously it's about

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 2>a mystery, so it fits into like a general coropaganda,

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 2>but also like, I also like that it's also one

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of those shows where there's an old lady who's always

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 2>cleverer than the police, which is like a very funny

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>thing to see. And also Angela Andsbrey's amazing and it

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>is so watchable, and there are so many episodes. It's

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>just just so many good yeah, never ending, yeah, never

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>ending amount. So yeah, that's definitely mind. Jason howber Well.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to shout out the theme song to

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>which I have to do. It's wonderful, like baroque piano thing.

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I any classic sitcom, like literally any sitcom of the eighties,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>nineties and even the seventies. I've watched so much TV,

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but like, just to quickly listen through some Cheers. You

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>can drop into any season of Cheers, any episode of Cheers,

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and just be like, great. I think it's probably the

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>greatest pilot sitcom pilot ever. The spinoffs can't go wrong. Fraser,

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you can drop into any episode of Fraser watch anytime

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the road, and I just love watching like

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>local cable TV when I'm on the road, and it

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 1>seems like every time, no matter where I am, Golden

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Girls is off and Golden Girls is fantastic. Yeah, I go, like,

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I love the last couple of seasons. There were personality

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>conflicts on the Golden Girls that I think you could

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>argue maybe started to show through in the way that

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>they crafted episode like there were a lot of like

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>flashback episodes where the girls are like sitting around a

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>table and be like, hey, remember when this thing happened,

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and then they show like something from season three whatever.

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>The early seasons of Golden Girls are amazing. Uh, the

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson's that's probably my favorite. Incredible felt Seinfeld again, drop

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>into any episode except maybe the first season, which is

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>they had like four episodes and then they got picked

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>up and then did the rest of the season, so

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like a little weird. But from season two to

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the end, awesome, incredible, can't go wrong. Family matters, can't

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>go like just two to seven. Who's the Boss? It's

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>classic sitcoms and you can get him in a variety

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of different formats. Many of them are on to be

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>go watch a classic sitcom because the formula was iconic

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>for a reason.

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I would also say, if you are somebody who struggles

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>with the immense choice that streaming offers, you spend thirty

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>five dollars of your heart earned money and buy an

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>amplified antenna. Because every single night on broadcast television in America,

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>especially by me in the California area, there are cheers reruns,

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Fraser reruns, Taxi reruns, Jefferson rerans, Golden Girls reruns, There's

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Ever and I have had such an unbelievable education in

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>classic American sitcoms, Who's the Boss reruns and really strange

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>ones like oh what is her name? Oh, she's like

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 2>a robot and when she touches her fingers together like

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>stops times Small miracles.

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Small miracle. Yeah, I think it only ran for like

0:13:59.400 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>one season.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a really weird one. But yeah, that's a great

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>way to do it if you're not sure, and then

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 2>you could That was how I started my Cheers rerun.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>From the beginning was like I watched Cheers on TV

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and was like, oh, this is one of the best

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 2>TV shows I've ever watched. Like, I've got to watch

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>every episode of this.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>You can just go down the era. Anything that was

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a hit in a particular decade that you're interested in

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to be interesting to watch. Designing Women just

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>watch it. Oh yeah, it just it's all great. So

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that's it classic sitcoms, right you are Boo.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm going to stick to the sitcom theme. I'm

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 3>going to move away from classic, maybe a bit more contemporary,

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 3>but I love Community. I still remember sitting down well.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Fact is high high rewatchable factor. Some incredible like the

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>D and D episodes I rewatched regularly, Halloween Paul episodes

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 3>of Halloween episodes. There are some iconic episodes with like

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 3>quite frankly the craziest, like guest stars showing up throughout

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 3>this show. For some reason, I love the main cast

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 3>of characters. Abed was one of the first times I

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 3>felt like I saw myself on American television. I remember

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 3>in two thousand and nine sitting down live and watching

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 3>the first episode and from there, you know, my mom

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 3>knew it was a Thursday night tradition and no one

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 3>was to bother me Thursday nights at eight pm. I

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 3>think it was. Although it did move around eventually, I

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 3>even like when the show, I mean, the show was

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 3>always rocky and never knew if it was going to

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>get renewed. But even when it ended up on that

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 3>very short lived Yawhoo weird online streaming service thing, I

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 3>signed up for Yaohoo, just don't watch Community that final

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 3>season of Community because I wanted to see how this

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 3>show that had defined like a decade of my life ended,

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 3>And I still rewatch it all the time.

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a community take higher highs than the Office,

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>higher peaks, I agree, but the Office is obviously much

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>more consistent I think throughout, particularly throughout it's the middle

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>of its seasons. But higher highs, I think high. I

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>think community is higher peaks.

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I've never seen I'd never seen another show,

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and I still don't really know if I have seen it.

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I remember being so blown away when I first watched

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>it by how it enmeshed like genre storytelling. So like

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned like the Paintball episode that's the Western episode,

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 2>or the Pillow four episode, or the post apocalyptic episode,

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>and even like the prescients of the social media episode

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 2>where they basically do like Logan's run, but it's like

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 2>depending on how many likes you give people like they

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>rise up in society and then we've seen that actually

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and up come to pass in certain spaces. Yeah, the

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Miamis and also like an unbelievable cost but yeah, I

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>mean I still I still rewatch the Christmas Special. I

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>love any kind of stop motion, you know, I love

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>OVI it so and I love any Yeah, I revisit

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 2>those genre focused kind of episodes where they would find

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a way to tell a weird joummer story in the

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 2>space of this community college. I think it's very inventive.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I think, Jason, that's a good caol. Definitely high at

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>highs in the office. But I am since I moved

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to America, I am a perennial office rewatcher because it's

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 2>always on TV here yea, and it is very watchable.

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Season two to season four is like it's like the

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven Yankees or something. It's just like every episode

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just like, oh my god, legendary episode. Oh my god,

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:25.679
<v Speaker 1>legendary episode.

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, Aaron, I'm going to go with another comedy, Arrested Development,

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 4>which is one that I feel like you can go

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.199
<v Speaker 4>in One of the things I love about it, you

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 4>can go in wanting to be completely smooth brained about it,

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.400
<v Speaker 4>and as you're watching it, you're like, oh, yeah, look

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 4>at them. You know, they're hinting at him losing his arm,

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh loose seal, Oh great, Oh look at this. They're

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 4>like putting all this foreshadowing, And I feel like, by

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 4>the end of an episode, I'm not smooth brain anymore,

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Like I'm I'm looking for all the hints and I

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 4>love it. And I just nothing to me is as

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 4>funny as all of them doing the chicken, like trying

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 4>to figure out how they each do a different chicken invitation.

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 4>So Arrested Development is like up there and I'm currently

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 4>rewatching it too, which is probably why it's front of

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 4>mine for me. But yeah, that's those first three seasons, aren't.

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think about Carl Weathers in Arrested Development a

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>lot when he's like, hey, and you just you got

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 2>a stew going just start boiling. And when Carl Weathers

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>passed away, everyone was like, you know, remembering that and

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about and they were like, yeah, I

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.160
<v Speaker 2>mean we have to give him full credit. Like he said,

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.160
<v Speaker 2>if I'm going to come on the show, I don't

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.640
<v Speaker 2>want to just be like, oh, it's that guy from

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars. He was like, what if we do a

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>bit where just like I'm really really like I'm really

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>cheap and I and I was like incredible, Like this

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 2>was Carl Weather's one of his greatest additions to pop culture. Yeah.

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Also may Whitman, whenever she's like I always think about

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>eating the egg and the mayonnaise. You know, she's got

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a little egg mayonnaise going there. You know, little egg

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>going there. Yeah, there's some some really fun moments in there. Jason,

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>what's your what's your second TV selection?

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>My runner up? And I'll just say that I believe

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that anything on a screen is basically television. Same train

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>YouTube's Yes, I love I love a train YouTube. Rail

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Cowgirl is a good one with TV with So what

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 1>is You may be asking what is it? What is it?

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>What's the train YouTube genre? It's very simple. You take

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it four K ten EIGHTP camera, thirty fps, sixty fps camera.

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>You put it on the front of a train or

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>out the window of a train. You let the train

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>go up through the Fjords of Norway, you know, down

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the French countryside, across any England, anywhere, it doesn't matter

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>where the train is going, No, Switzerland. It's great and

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you just put it on when you have to do

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>something right and you're doing chores whatever, and you just

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>glance at it. You're traveling through through this landscape that

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to travel through, and it's wonderful. There's

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a there's a I also kind of like the guy

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>puts a person puts a camera on their head and

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>just walks through Tokyo genre yes, yes, yeah, some of

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>those streams, Yes, those are also great and a kind

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of a version of this, but check out the check

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>out the trains.

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 2>The trains A yeah, that's I feel like.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Those really blew up in the pandemic when people were

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.640
<v Speaker 3>like he did, I'm craving, I can't go out, I'm

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 3>craving something soccer at night and yeah, yep.

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great quote. I'm actually you've actually inspired me.

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>My original runner up was going to be Midsummer Murders.

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to give it a shout out? Another

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 2>British murder mystery show great, like nothing that there's no

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 2>higher body count than Midsummer It's crazy, it's worst, worst

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 2>than Camp Crystal Lake, like never go there, but it's

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 2>super relaxing to watch. But I'm going to switch out

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>because you inspired me. I love a train YouTube. Another

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that I love, which is available on broadcast TV

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 2>but you can also watch at online, is the Japanese

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 2>news channel NHK. They have a mixture of Japanese international

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>news that they show kind of every half an hour

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>or every hour, but they also have a lot of

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.720
<v Speaker 2>original programming, including one of my favorite TV shows that's

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 2>incredibly relaxing to watch called Trails to Oishi, which is

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 2>like Trails to Deliciousness, and every episode is just a

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 2>presenter learning the history of a very specific food, so

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 2>it could be like ginger, or it could be benito,

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>like the fish, and they will go through and they'll

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 2>visit a market and they'll show somebody cooking the food

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 2>really deliciously in different ways and that there's like hundreds

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 2>of episodes of it on the NHK website that you

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 2>can watch or the NHK app and it is so relaxing,

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and the voiceovers are incredibly relaxing, and you get to

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>see all different beautiful places in Japan, and you get

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 2>to see people eating like very delicious, nicely prepared food.

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 2>It's incredibly relaxing. Every time I'm flicking through TV and

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 2>I see that it's on, I'm like, I have a

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>warm glow that fulfills me. So it gives me the

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 2>similar vibe to the train youtubes, which I have watched

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>many of. So that's definitely mine a boom.

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad you brought that up right, yeah, because it

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 4>would be weird if we talked all four of us

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 4>and none of us had any kind of food or

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 4>cooking thing. I think that's a big thing for so

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 4>many times.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, that's a really good point. Actually, yeah, good cooking

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 2>shows are so relaxing. What about yours? You picked on

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 2>that seems unconventional, but I agree.

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, this is maybe a bit of a curve well,

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 3>but I put Full Middle Alchemist's Brotherhood down as the

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 3>other TV show that I love to revisit and feels

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 3>comforting to me. I mean, I am not typically the

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 3>type of person that will rewatch or reread or reconsume something,

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 3>and so when I rarely do, it's things that really

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 3>resonated with me, even if they made me incredibly sad,

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 3>even if they were tragic, even if they were emotional,

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.359
<v Speaker 3>like much of Full Mental Alchemist is, it still feels

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 3>good to go back to those feelings with the characters

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 3>that I know and love and ultimately know the end

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 3>and know that things will turn out fine. Is also

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 3>enjoyable to go through that journey again with these characters

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 3>that I love so much. So yeah, maybe a curveball pick,

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 3>but Full Mental Heart I love.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 2>That fantasy really beautifully animated. It is like a story

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>at the center about love, So I do totally agree

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 2>with you. I love that show. I didn't get into

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it until Brotherhood, but yeah, it's it's it's a really

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>great show, Aaron.

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean the themes of like love, family connection

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 3>it's also good.

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's really good. Aaron.

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:51.159
<v Speaker 4>Well about you, speaking of love and family connections. My

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.719
<v Speaker 4>runner up would be Bob s Burger's an incredible I

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 4>love Probably that's.

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>A rewatched show. That's a that's a that's an iconic

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 2>contemporary show that people love to rewatch.

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 4>And another show that has like unlimited episodes it feels

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.640
<v Speaker 4>like and every single episode very fun, musical creation in there,

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 4>a great guest star. And yeah, and you can turn

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 4>in any of them.

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Shouts to Jimmy Pesto Senior Jay Johnson, currently on his

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 1>way prison for his role in the January sixth insurrection

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>against the US Capital. Not I'll go on the record,

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 1>not long enough. Listen, Jason, I'm not a fan of

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the I'm not a fan of our system, the cars

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>oral system. But like, let's jack it up three or

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 1>something on that sense.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he's listening and he's he's getting some recommendations for

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 4>what to consume.

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, he spends the rest of his life. There.

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right, there's a year's worth of in here.

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Jack that up, and let's jack one up for our sponsors.

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back after this. All right, we're back.

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to books. What are some of the books

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that we crack open whenever we need to just take

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a chill, Rosie.

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to start with one that I have not

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>recommended before, which is when I was in London, there's

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a really beautiful book that shopped there called The London

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Review of Books Bookshop, and I picked up a book

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 2>based solely just on its cover, which was called Welcome

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 2>to the hyunam Dong Bookshop, which is by Huang Bo Rium,

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and it is a book about a woman in Korea

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:10.200
<v Speaker 2>who leaves her life, leaves her husband, leaves the expected

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>way that she's supposed to be living, and starts a

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 2>coffee shop. And it is just about the slow day

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:23.440
<v Speaker 2>to day life of her running the bookshop and hiring

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the guy who's going to make the coffee and buying

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the beans. And it's so relaxing and fantastic that I'm

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 2>still reading it like a year later. Like I love

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>this book. I always pick it up. It has such

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a gorgeous cover as well, the hardcover, and it's kind

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:44.360
<v Speaker 2>of this story just about doing something for yourself and

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>unintentionally that becoming kind of a beacon for other people

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>who aren't sure what they're supposed to be doing. But

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>it's also just such a lovely book to read, like

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 2>it's probably one of my favorite books ever. I can

0:26:57.160 --> 0:27:00.439
<v Speaker 2>say after a year, but it's it's so good, and

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I just always pick it up if I'm feeling a

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 2>little bit rough or tired, or i just want to

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>like ground myself a bit in like, oh, things are okay,

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 2>you can just do something nice, you can just chill

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>out and just do Sometimes it's just important to just

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 2>do something like take your time to make a cup

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of tea and just like enjoy it. It's very much

0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 2>that space. And Yeah, I love that book. It's it's

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a really magical book, Jason, what about you.

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I love short story collections by almost anyone, John Cheever,

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Dorothy Parker, who I'll mention later in a little bit

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>more detail. There's something about that genre that I love.

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And one of the more recent ones that I've picked

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:56.959
<v Speaker 1>up is Hiromi Kawakami's People from My neighborhood, and it's

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>how would I describe it? It's little and yetes of

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:10.120
<v Speaker 1>scenes from around this neighborhood, and they somehow managed to

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>capture like the wonder of you know, when you were

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a kid and you'd like be outside with your friends

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and you'd see something like a grasshopper or

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like a line of laundry that looked strange, something that

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>looked interesting, and then you go back and you try

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to tell an adult about it. That that magicalness of

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:36.120
<v Speaker 1>just a regular scene that you would see around where

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you live, but the magic of seeing it for almost

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the first time and trying to explain it to somebody.

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>All these stories are like that. They're just like wonderful,

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Like a little kid who's like laying on the grass

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>with like a piece of laundry over room, and the

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>weird things that this little kid says. That's like one

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of the stories. It's just they're just wonderful and they're

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>super short, really really short. That's what I love about

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a short story, is there the feeling of accomplishment is

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 1>like five to eight pages away. You don't have to

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh my god, I'm diving into this five

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred page three hundred and fifty page seven hundred page epic.

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>You read five pages and you'll be done if you want.

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>People from My Neighborhood by Hiromi Kawakami, What about You, Rosie.

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 2>For me, I would say another one is definitely a

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>book that I have talked about before, but I think

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 2>it is really up the alleys of the people who

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 2>listen to this, and it is Legends and Lattes by

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Travis Baldry. He also did a follow up recently that's

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 2>a prequel called Bookshops and Bone Dust, and it's basically

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the lowest steaks kind of campaign fantasy that you could imagine.

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.480
<v Speaker 2>The first one is about an orc who retires who

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 2>starts a coffee shop. It's so fantastic and amazing, and

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 2>it's a romance and you feel just as immersed in

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the world as if it were a deep, hard fantasy.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 2>But there is really not anything conflict or high stakes

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 2>or particularly you know, depressing or scary. There are moments

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the stakes feel high because you're invested in them, but

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 2>there are not anything. There's not anything violent or terrifying

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 2>in most of the books and Bookshops and Bone Dust.

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 2>If anything, it might even be Better, which is a

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 2>prequel about the Orc and this kind of time that

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>she spent at a little seaside town. And those are

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 2>just so delightful, super easy to read. They have unbelievable

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 2>cover art, and I just think they're some of the

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 2>loveliest books that I've read. So I've gone through both

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of those a few times in the last couple of years. Aboo,

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>how about you, what are your picks?

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, before I say my first pick, I'd just have

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 3>to say unequivocally, fuck jk Rowling and her disgusting views.

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I did have to put Harry Potter on this list.

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Fuck jk Rowling absolutely, but really really, Harry Potter holds

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 3>a special place in my heart, and it's hard to

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 3>dislodge that. A lot of my childhood memories are anchored

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 3>around when I read certain Harry Potter books and when

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 3>I could go to the library and pick up the

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 3>next one, when my hold was finally in when I

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 3>got the Pizza Hut book at thing for reading the

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 3>fourth Harry Potter book. You know, like a lot of

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 3>my childhood memories are really locked into these stories. And

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 3>then of course later on, a lot of my memories

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.479
<v Speaker 3>are wrapped up in the films and the actors, and

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>so it is a comforting place for me to go

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 3>back to and revisit. I have the all the audiobooks,

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 3>which are such a treat to listen to, and I

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, sometimes I'll just like pick a random chapter

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 3>from the fourth book from the Dry Wizard Tournament and

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 3>just listen to it, just to just to go back

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 3>to that place. And so, yeah, Harry Potter is definitely

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 3>a comforting place for me to go back to when

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 3>it comes to books.

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And there's lots of ways to steal books today, the

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>invention of e books. Just saying if you haven't, I'm

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>not saying that you should do that, but I'm just saying,

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you disagree with the views of J. Q. Rallings as

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you should as a right thinking person, and you haven't

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>read Harry Potter, and you want to know what all

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the fuss is about. There's there's ways, I don't know,

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>just there's ways to steal books, and I don't I'm

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 1>not saying do that, but I'm just saying there are ways.

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Hypothectic, yeah, hyperthactly.

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Walker.

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I have two books that kind of count the similar

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 4>point in my life in college when I would I

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 4>discovered the Inner Library alone, and I was just getting

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.080
<v Speaker 4>constant deliveries from other libraries across the US delivered to

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 4>my college library where I would read graphic novels. And

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 4>one that I discovered in college for the first time

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 4>was Blankets, which I think is just one of the

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 4>most heartwarming books for anyone who ever loved emo music

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 4>like that book is for you. And the other one

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 4>that I actually found sitting in the library that they

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 4>owned there was called Vampire Loves by Joan Safar, and

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 4>it is a beautiful book. We've had a lot of

0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 4>discussions about vampires on the show already. I am not

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 4>a spooky loving person. This is not a spooky book,

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 4>but a very very cute book. So both of them

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 4>to me are just like perfect, like warm books to read,

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 4>like romantic, warm, graphic novels that I really love.

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 2>What's your runner up and then we'll send it back

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>to ABU.

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 4>So my runner up would be the Red Wall series.

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 4>In particular for me, Martin the Warriors is I think

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 4>the first one I ever read, and therefore probably the

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 4>one I reread the most, and it came back to

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 4>me because this year Magic The Gathering had a set

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 4>that was very It was not a Red Wall set,

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 4>but it was small woodland animals, very reminiscent of Red Wall.

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 4>It wound up not being as good as I would

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 4>have hoped, but the Red Wall vibes were so strong

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 4>it made me. It made me miss and long for

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 4>that period of time when I was reading Red Wall books.

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have a copy of Red Wall, the first one,

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>right next to my bed, and it's one of my

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.959
<v Speaker 2>like go to if I can't sleep. It's like time

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to read about some delicious feasts that these animals are making,

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Like I love a delectable feast about what are your

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 2>last runner runners up for books?

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to shout out two things here. I

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 3>definitely want to call out the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 3>I think it's iconic sci fi, and in particular the

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 3>first three or I think such a great story. The

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 3>latter three, in my opinion, are a bit skippable. He

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 3>was kind of forced to write those by his publisher.

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 3>But the first three I think are iconic in the

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>scisfy space for a reason. The world that Asimov creates

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:00.440
<v Speaker 3>in his early twenties, by the way he wrote the

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 3>first one at like twenty one twenty two, which makes

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:07.479
<v Speaker 3>me feel terrible about myself. But I just love going

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:08.880
<v Speaker 3>back to those stories.

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And so they're kind of poorly written, but like they're good.

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Those wise, it's not like you're like, holy shit, this

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.800
<v Speaker 1>guy's share so yeah yeah.

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, yes, it's very it's like very accessible, yes,

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 3>very accessible, very simple to consume and broken up to

0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 3>your point Jason about short stories, the first book in

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 3>particular is like broken up into like a bunch of

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 3>short stories because it was released series lives to begin with,

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 3>and so it's really easy to just like pick it

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 3>up and read one of them real quick. So I

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:38.720
<v Speaker 3>love the Foundation series.

0:35:38.880 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I think we read it together kind of for like

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:41.960
<v Speaker 4>a book club.

0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I read Aaron read it for our book Yeah,

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and I couldn't.

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:45.840
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't finish it.

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know, d you gave it a try that

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I tried.

0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. The time skips were a little confusing for at

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the book club. I think people were not prepared. I

0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:59.200
<v Speaker 3>didn't prepare everyone enough. And the other quick thing I

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 3>want to shout out again, this goes back to my childhood.

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:03.879
<v Speaker 3>I would go to the library. I would randomly pick

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.959
<v Speaker 3>whatever Dragonball manga was on the shelf that week. Yeah,

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 3>and I basically read dragon Ball like entirely out of order.

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 2>That's the way we all did the comics when we

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 2>were young man and there was no online like we

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>were just picking up whatever was available.

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So you know, Akira Toriyama rest in peace. He

0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 3>his work definitely holds a special place in my heart,

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 3>and I love revisiting the manga. Dragonball Dima, the final

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 3>piece of work that Toriama ever created in the dragon

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Ball world, is actually streaming now, and I've been loving

0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 3>watching that because it's it's a throwback to old school

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:38.800
<v Speaker 3>dragon Ball.

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I do think that for the epic scope of dragon

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Ball and the kind of perception that it has as

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 2>this kind of like super action packed especially in the

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>like later an animated versions, the original dragon Ball manga

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:57.359
<v Speaker 2>actually are so cozy looking, like the character designs are

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.359
<v Speaker 2>super cute, like they're always just in like a funny call,

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>going somewhere trying to find a dragon Ball. Yeah, great, pick,

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I love that, right.

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, that's a that's a great point, Rosie. Like Dragonball,

0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people think dragon Ball is like muscle men,

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 3>punching each other, and that's why people watch it. But

0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:16.720
<v Speaker 3>it's actually very cute and very silly and very funny,

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 3>and like none of it makes sense really. You know,

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 3>if you think too hard about it, you're you're doing

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 3>the wrong thing. It's not it's not a show that's

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 3>meant to be thought hard about. You're just supposed to enjoy,

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 3>enjoy the world that Toriama created. That's what I love

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 3>about the original Dragon Ball.

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my runner up pick. Let me just quickly shout

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:46.840
<v Speaker 1>out more short stories. Raymond Carver, Kevin Barry. Listen. I

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>think I think he gets a bad rap now, but

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Hemingway short story is a really good look.

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:53.879
<v Speaker 2>He can be a you know, we can know more

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 2>about him as a man and still say, hey, maybe

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 2>read we maybe shake these.

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Out the listen, the r and the artist. We could

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:04.839
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, Dan Harman, and we could go We've

0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:07.480
<v Speaker 1>already mentioned a bunch of things where we were. We

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>could go down the road. Not just JK. Renata Adler

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>is another person whose short stories I love. George Saunders

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 1>another person who's short stories I love, Civil War, Land

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and Bad Decline check it out. But I'll just say

0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:25.239
<v Speaker 1>I love Wit when I love witty writers, which is

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 1>why I love Dorothy Parker. Check out her short stories,

0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 1>some of them written one hundred years ago as good

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 1>as anything written today. But I wanted to particularly shout

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 1>out because Quincy Jones, legendary, legendary composer. Quincy Jones has

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 1>recently passed, and so people are sharing this like iconic

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Vulture interview that he gave a few years back, where

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just like every line is a fucking banger after

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.919
<v Speaker 1>a bang, after a banger. He's like, oh, leah, yeah,

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Brando, he would he'd fuck any he fucked everybody

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 1>that was around. He'd fuck a mailbox. Hey, do you

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 1>like Brazilian music? One of the craziest like transitions in

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>an interview ever, he talks about the jfk assassination anyway,

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:16.720
<v Speaker 1>in that genre of witty people, witty famous people dishing,

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 1>which I just love a great dish. If you liked

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that Quincy Jones interview, check out My Lunches with Orson

0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>by Henry Jaglam, which is a collection of transcriptions of

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>audiotapes that Henry Jaglam made of his boozy Lunches with

0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Orson Wells, in which Orson Wells just held court about

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:52.879
<v Speaker 1>everything and like bitched about everybody, from the Nazis, many

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>of whom he met, like famous Nazis, to like legendary

0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:02.320
<v Speaker 1>directors of the day. Here he is on the famous

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 1>director von Sternberg who made uh what many people consider

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>it to be a great movie Blue Angel. Orson Wells quote,

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a piece of schlock painted on velvet like you

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 1>buy in Honolulu.

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Wow so much.

0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.000
<v Speaker 1>It's great and it's filled with nuggets like that.

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 2>My lunch is with Orson His takedown of his jewel.

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Takedown of Charlie Chaplin and Woody Allen is one of

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 2>my all time favorites. He's He's truly a man who

0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:38.040
<v Speaker 2>would have excelled in the age of an online drag.

0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>He always had a quippie wait you wait, I mean

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you inspired me, actually, Jason, I was. I want to

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 2>shout out what my last pick was going to be

0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 2>before the coffee gets called by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. And that's

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 2>still a fantastic book. It's a it's a cozy time

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:54.959
<v Speaker 2>travel book set in a cafe. As you can tell,

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:58.759
<v Speaker 2>there's a cafe theme. But I have a copy of

0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Groucho Marx Letters collection that was published by Penguin. You

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.719
<v Speaker 2>can still find it, and I returned to it so

0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 2>much because those are some of the funniest, weirdest. There's

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 2>a letter in there, I think about a lot where

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Warner Brothers were cease and desisting the Marx Brothers about

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.040
<v Speaker 2>a night in Casablanca because they said it was too

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:24.479
<v Speaker 2>much like Casablanca. So Groucho wrote them a letter cease

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and desisting them because they were called Warner Bros. And

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:32.360
<v Speaker 2>the Marx Bros Had existed before and like so much

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.400
<v Speaker 2>good stuff like that. So yeah, that's that's another if

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:39.799
<v Speaker 2>you're a fan of those kind of wild celebrity kind

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:44.799
<v Speaker 2>of insights, those those Groucho Marx letters collections are really fantastic.

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Next up video games cozy video games. It's a genre

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that has exploded certainly since the pandemic. Rosie your cozy

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 1>video game, Top cozy video game? Pick.

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm going to go for a classic because I

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 2>know you're going to pick one of my go tos,

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:20.920
<v Speaker 2>so I'm going to go for Animal Crossing. I think

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:24.280
<v Speaker 2>it was the game. Obviously, New Horizons was the game

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 2>that got a lot of people through the pandemic. I've

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:29.040
<v Speaker 2>loved Animal Crossing since it was on the three DS.

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:32.320
<v Speaker 2>It is a cozy life sim where you play as

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a cute human in a town of animals, and depending

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 2>on the game, you are either an inhabitant, a mayor

0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 2>in New Horizons, you were helping essentially, not sounding too

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:47.600
<v Speaker 2>cozy here, but it is a fair critique colonize like

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a random island, so you know, ignore that part. But yeah,

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:56.279
<v Speaker 2>you work alongside Tinookie Tom Nook, who is essentially like

0:42:56.360 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a really hardcore landlord, and you build a awful house

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:02.520
<v Speaker 2>and you hang out with your neighbors. And it was

0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the game that got my sister and my mom into

0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 2>video games. It was a huge thing. We had birthday

0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 2>parties for people on our islands during the pandemic. It

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:14.879
<v Speaker 2>was amazing to see people enjoy it. And the New

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Horizons on the Switch, which is the most recent, Animal

0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Crossing is still one of my most revisited games. It's

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:23.799
<v Speaker 2>always fun to just pop back in and check on

0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 2>your island or see what your island's doing, especially since

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 2>they added a patch that stopped your islanders from being

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 2>so passive aggressive because they used to you would you

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:40.120
<v Speaker 2>would go back to your island and they would be like, yeah,

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were ignoring.

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:46.279
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of cockroaches in your house, like they

0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 1>would be really and I am with one of.

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 2>The last updates they did, they made it so it

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:53.239
<v Speaker 2>was a bit more like, hey man, nice to see you,

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:56.799
<v Speaker 2>because like it became such an online thing. But yeah,

0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that's mine, Jason. How about how about your topic.

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Love animal crossing listen Stardo Valley can't go wrong, Starduo

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Valley wrong, Stardoo Valleys ever made, truly one of the

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.880
<v Speaker 1>best ever made. I think I think you could say

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it's in the top three, and it's not three, like

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, I think you can truly say that about

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Stardo Valley and the newest patch, Patch one point six

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>point nine is being pushed out as we are recording this,

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and it has lots of balance and quality of life

0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:36.920
<v Speaker 1>changes that I think people are going to appreciate. I

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>am playing it again because gosh, I just love to

0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>play it. I love to make wine, I love to

0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 1>explore the dungeons, I love to explore the mines, and

0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I love to do romance. That's the part, you know.

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:54.839
<v Speaker 1>I have mostly just been farming and creating products. And

0:44:54.880 --> 0:44:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it's only now that I'm really starting to engage with

0:44:57.880 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the townsfolk in a meaningful way.

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's the part of the game. You're going to

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:02.319
<v Speaker 2>love that whole.

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Another part of the game is so rich and deep,

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's it meets you exactly at the level of

0:45:10.640 --> 0:45:13.200
<v Speaker 1>dedication that you want to have with a video game.

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:17.479
<v Speaker 1>And I will just say I went through a dark

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:23.200
<v Speaker 1>period thinking about capitalism over the last couple of years

0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>where I just I realized that even in our most

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:32.799
<v Speaker 1>imaginary spaces where you can just imagine any world that

0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 1>you want place it, like in a video game like

0:45:36.080 --> 0:45:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Stardey Valley or Animal Crossing, we are still incapable of

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:44.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking about a world in which you do not create

0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 1>products to sell at a market for profit. That's all

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:54.160
<v Speaker 1>we've run out of. I just feel like it's I

0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 1>hate capitalism. The bad parts of it are truly terrible,

0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Like it's the vast machinery of its wheels. It's crushing

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>people under them, under within its gears every day, all

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the time. At the same time, I can't I actually

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:16.359
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine another system. I can't figure it out, and

0:46:16.520 --> 0:46:18.440
<v Speaker 1>neither can we. I think we're at a we're at

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:20.480
<v Speaker 1>an end point where we can't figure out another way

0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:23.279
<v Speaker 1>to do things other than even in a cute sea way,

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 1>even in the most cute, wonderful way in which you

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:30.319
<v Speaker 1>don't kill the animals, you still make mayonnaise out of

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the eggs, and you still make you still make cheese

0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 1>out of their their beautiful milk, and you sell it.

0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's it. But all that said, Stardoo Valley is amazing,

0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and if you have not played it, you can play

0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it on any platform, and it is again one of

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the what's it's such a dollar.

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>And you will get you thousands of hours of joy.

0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 1>For me, the amount of content that it gives you

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:02.240
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen dollars is a joke, and it is truly.

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like we've been playing it for ten years now.

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It is truly. Sincerely. Forget Halo, forget Black Ops, forget

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:14.840
<v Speaker 1>every other game. I love those games. It is one of,

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:20.440
<v Speaker 1>if not the greatest video game of all time, simply

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>on the value proposition of the amount of things that

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it gives you for the money it charges you. It

0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is an incredible video game.

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I also, I want to say that.

0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 3>We argue that it revitalized the cozy game genre. Oh

0:47:34.840 --> 0:47:41.080
<v Speaker 3>definitely cozy games out now mimics Stardi Valley and Started

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Valley is like, I think we're gonna say the same thing.

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Rules of Harvest Moon mixed with animal crossing like different things,

0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:54.680
<v Speaker 2>but complay it into or should I say, like streamlined

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 2>into such an appealing space to live in. I don't

0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:02.400
<v Speaker 2>want also say I think the reach of Stardew Valley

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 2>can be shown in the We had a group we

0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:09.640
<v Speaker 2>have an x ray vision group chat obviously, and Jason.

0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Was like, Jason was like, guys, yeah, we get this

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:18.040
<v Speaker 4>weekend from Jason. It just says I have an emergency situation.

0:48:18.400 --> 0:48:21.319
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to make everyone aware of the trees in

0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:23.839
<v Speaker 4>my greenhouse are not growing? What am I doing growing?

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:25.200
<v Speaker 1>They're they're growing now?

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah to me, Like the fact literally every single common Aboo,

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Aaron and I we all had thoughts and we were

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 2>all like, Okay, here's what you might be doing wrong.

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Like that was such a huge reach of different video

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 2>gaming tendencies, different video gaming you know, commitments, Triple A gamers,

0:48:49.239 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 2>platform gamers like myself, like switch gamers, Xbox gamers, all

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of us immediately had deep insightful opinions about what Jason

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.359
<v Speaker 2>could do, and I think that really shows the reach

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.399
<v Speaker 2>of this game, which I do agree. I don't think

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:07.239
<v Speaker 2>it's hyperbolic to say, especially as the game is, or

0:49:07.480 --> 0:49:11.480
<v Speaker 2>was up until very recently, entirely made by one person.

0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I think maybe he has a few helpers.

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm not one hundred percent sure, but still like

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:21.279
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable and including the music, including that music, which is

0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:24.880
<v Speaker 2>absolutely another reason that you will get so much joy

0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and wonder out of that game.

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Uh, Aaron, When we hand out candy on Halloween, we

0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:32.800
<v Speaker 3>turn on the Fall music for starting valid put it

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 3>on at speaker and the kids come by and yeah,

0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 3>like it's the music. It's like there's so many layers

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:41.120
<v Speaker 3>to it. I mean, to Jason's point, the game will

0:49:41.120 --> 0:49:43.800
<v Speaker 3>meet you wherever you want. Like if you're a junkie

0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:46.160
<v Speaker 3>like me, there is lower in.

0:49:46.080 --> 0:49:50.760
<v Speaker 1>This there's really really serious story.

0:49:50.880 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Here in our house, we are constantly in conversation because

0:49:57.280 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Nick has I know, maybe like a hundred hours of

0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:04.359
<v Speaker 2>starduw locked or something. It's like an unbelieva He's he's

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:06.919
<v Speaker 2>at the point where he's like a billionaire in Star Dew.

0:50:06.960 --> 0:50:09.839
<v Speaker 2>He has, he has the return stick, he he never

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:14.359
<v Speaker 2>needs anything, but we are always having He is of

0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the belief, which is a large part of stardew Law

0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 2>is like that the wizard's daughter is one of the inhabitants.

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I will say who because it's like it's depending on

0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the kind of route you take. But like, there is

0:50:26.719 --> 0:50:29.759
<v Speaker 2>so much deep law in the game.

0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:34.680
<v Speaker 1>It's insane. It doesn't make sense.

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:35.799
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make a game.

0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Is that good?

0:50:36.440 --> 0:50:38.880
<v Speaker 2>But I think as well, I think that speaks to

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the power of creating like a game that builds a community,

0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 2>because then, like anything we talk about this a lot,

0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:48.440
<v Speaker 2>whether it's the Marvel fam Wikias or Dungeons and Dragons homebrew,

0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:54.640
<v Speaker 2>like fan fans have long been in charge of expanding

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and chronicling law, and I think that is what happens

0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 2>when you make something that's like truly magical, like Starduo Vally.

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:03.319
<v Speaker 3>I also want to shout out there's a board game

0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:05.320
<v Speaker 3>version of Starduo Valley that's very.

0:51:05.120 --> 0:51:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Fun to play.

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:08.399
<v Speaker 3>I immediately bought it when they announced it. And there's

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:10.320
<v Speaker 3>also now a cookbook which I have been trying to

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:10.719
<v Speaker 3>get my out.

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I I have the Stardu Valley they also made us.

0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:17.800
<v Speaker 2>They make a starduw Valley Game Guide that they re

0:51:18.000 --> 0:51:20.920
<v Speaker 2>up every three years. It's so beautiful. It's official, you

0:51:20.960 --> 0:51:23.160
<v Speaker 2>can go in, you can make notes on the characters.

0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:26.759
<v Speaker 2>It's really beautiful. And they release all the soundtracks on

0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:30.279
<v Speaker 2>vinyl now, so we do have those. If anyone wants

0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 2>to official starduw Valley podcast. If you're listening to this,

0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:36.320
<v Speaker 2>obviously we are the people to do it, because this

0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:39.360
<v Speaker 2>could have just been a Starduo Valley episode. Aaron and Aboo,

0:51:39.360 --> 0:51:43.040
<v Speaker 2>what are your other as Starduo Valley lovers? What are

0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:46.400
<v Speaker 2>your are the cozy video games that you go to?

0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:50.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll do actually my runner up first, because it bounces

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:53.160
<v Speaker 4>off Stardu really well. If you just listened to us

0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:55.160
<v Speaker 4>and you hadn't played Stardoo and you were like, oh

0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:57.879
<v Speaker 4>my god, a thousand hours that sounds like way too much.

0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:00.799
<v Speaker 4>I have a suggestion for you. It's called a Short Hike.

0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:03.440
<v Speaker 4>It's on Nintendo Switch. I think it's like seven bucks.

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:07.000
<v Speaker 4>It is a it's a quote unquote open world if

0:52:07.040 --> 0:52:10.319
<v Speaker 4>the open world were like one square mile. It is

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 4>a beautifully rendered game where you play this little bird

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 4>penguin character and you can soar and float and you

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:21.200
<v Speaker 4>go around the island and you help people do things,

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:23.480
<v Speaker 4>and there are all these cute little characters, and it

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:28.080
<v Speaker 4>is it feels like a little Pixar Open World Zelda

0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:31.600
<v Speaker 4>game kind of. And you can finish it in one sitting.

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:32.280
<v Speaker 4>It's amazing.

0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Aboo, how about you.

0:52:35.320 --> 0:52:36.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to just share all of mine at once

0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:42.839
<v Speaker 3>very quickly. Mass Effect is a trilogy that I revisit constantly.

0:52:42.920 --> 0:52:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I replay them all the time. There's there's a remaster

0:52:45.600 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 3>legendary edition out now. That's the best way to play

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:51.120
<v Speaker 3>the game. Four K sixty. They upgraded some of the

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:53.760
<v Speaker 3>old school mechanics that are that used to be clunky.

0:52:54.080 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 3>It's more modern gameplay. It's amazing. I love the universe,

0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:00.040
<v Speaker 3>I love the characters. I've read all the comics, so

0:53:00.120 --> 0:53:03.319
<v Speaker 3>I've consumed every Mass Effect thing out there. It's my

0:53:03.400 --> 0:53:05.840
<v Speaker 3>all time favorite series. I play it and replay it

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.719
<v Speaker 3>all the time. And if you're somebody who like me,

0:53:09.120 --> 0:53:12.280
<v Speaker 3>loves an RPGG game with an incredible cast of characters

0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 3>with an amazing story. If you love sci fi, you

0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:18.359
<v Speaker 3>have to check out Mass Effect. And the other one

0:53:18.400 --> 0:53:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I quickly want to shout out is this mobile game

0:53:20.680 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 3>that I got really addicted to during the pandemic many motorways,

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:26.839
<v Speaker 3>and it has a sort of a sister game called

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Mini Metro where you have to It's very cute and simplistic,

0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:35.239
<v Speaker 3>but quickly becomes complex because you have to create a

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:40.240
<v Speaker 3>metro system for an increasingly for a population that continues

0:53:40.280 --> 0:53:43.040
<v Speaker 3>to grow and grow and grow and grow, or you

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.960
<v Speaker 3>have to create like a road system for an increasing

0:53:46.040 --> 0:53:49.759
<v Speaker 3>number of cars on the road, and that sounds stressful,

0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:54.760
<v Speaker 3>but the graphics are very pastel and simplistic. The controls

0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:57.480
<v Speaker 3>are very simple. You just like drag and drop different roads,

0:53:57.480 --> 0:53:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and then you get features like highways to help you

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:04.280
<v Speaker 3>manage roads, and stop lights to manage like intersection areas,

0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:07.200
<v Speaker 3>and something about it is like really satisfying to my

0:54:07.280 --> 0:54:11.640
<v Speaker 3>brain to just like watch all the little cars drive

0:54:11.680 --> 0:54:15.160
<v Speaker 3>around on these perfectly manicured roads I've created where everything

0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:19.759
<v Speaker 3>is operating so efficiently and beautifully. And then it gets

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.560
<v Speaker 3>stressful because then it just keeps increasing the population and

0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:26.200
<v Speaker 3>things get wildly out of control, and suddenly you realize,

0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:30.080
<v Speaker 3>like why cities like New York don't work. And it's

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 3>beautiful and fun and it's like a perfect on your

0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:36.400
<v Speaker 3>commute to work on the bus sort of play on

0:54:36.400 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 3>your phone game.

0:54:38.440 --> 0:54:42.959
<v Speaker 2>I will add my last edition is another mobile game,

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:45.480
<v Speaker 2>which which came out twenty twenty three as part of

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Apple Arcade. I believe it's going to be released as

0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:52.319
<v Speaker 2>an actual like anyone can play mobile game this year.

0:54:52.640 --> 0:54:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It's called Japanese Rural Life Adventure and it's basically Stardu

0:54:56.960 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Valley eight bit style, but you move into to a

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Japanese rural town. There's no romance, and you just become

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.040
<v Speaker 2>a part of the community and you fix things and

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you help people out and you collect things and it is.

0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It like consumed my life for like four months when

0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I first started playing it. It's so appealing. The music

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:19.600
<v Speaker 2>is fantastic, the visuals are beautiful. Yeah, ten out of

0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:21.359
<v Speaker 2>ten just love that game.

0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:30.000
<v Speaker 1>My final really quick runner up for is just cheating.

0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Cheating at any video game. It's a lot easier. It's

0:55:33.680 --> 0:55:38.080
<v Speaker 1>easy on PC obviously, where there's a million different mods

0:55:38.120 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 1>for any type of game. The SIMS is probably the

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:43.799
<v Speaker 1>first game where I really got where I just really

0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:46.759
<v Speaker 1>said fuck working, I want all the money so I

0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:50.319
<v Speaker 1>can just buy stuff and make my house amazing. But

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Fallout and Skyrim both have thriving mod communities on console,

0:55:56.680 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Xbox and PlayStation that allow you to do

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like God and just like run through the game, rank

0:56:03.200 --> 0:56:05.719
<v Speaker 1>up your guy immediately, never get killed, have all the

0:56:05.760 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 1>money you want, buy all the stuff of your house.

0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:11.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a great way to go through a game sometimes

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to just turn on a game for two hours, max

0:56:14.680 --> 0:56:18.200
<v Speaker 1>out your stats, and just go on a buying spree,

0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 1>a designing spree, a killing spree, whatever, without any kind

0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of fear that anything bad is going to happen to

0:56:24.360 --> 0:56:27.560
<v Speaker 1>your character. They're gonna get murked at all whatever. I

0:56:27.600 --> 0:56:30.160
<v Speaker 1>love going through Fallout like this. I love building huge

0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:33.440
<v Speaker 1>bases and Fallout with just like God mode money. I

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:37.040
<v Speaker 1>love going through Skyrim with just like incredible dual wielding

0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:40.040
<v Speaker 1>magical powers and just turning people into piles of ash

0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:45.600
<v Speaker 1>or turning them into like berserk, turning guards berserk so

0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that they just go out and start attacking people. It's fun.

0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:51.680
<v Speaker 1>It's fun, and it's low stakes, and it's a great

0:56:51.680 --> 0:56:54.040
<v Speaker 1>way to play, to replay a game that you've played

0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a million times. Cheat. Go ahead and do it.

0:56:57.360 --> 0:57:00.080
<v Speaker 2>That's your permission, guys, to just cheat's.

0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about it. And then finally, yes, talk about games.

0:57:02.520 --> 0:57:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about alcoholbies.

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about hobbies that get us through. Rosie. What's

0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:10.920
<v Speaker 1>a good hobby that you go to when you just

0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 1>want to relax?

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, someone else, stop because I've got construction next

0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.040
<v Speaker 2>to my house, Jason, what's your favorite hobby?

0:57:19.160 --> 0:57:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Taking photographs? Listen. You don't need it. You don't need

0:57:22.160 --> 0:57:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a expensive camera to take nice photographs and to make

0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>them look good. You can do them. You can take

0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 1>photographs with your phone. You can frame them up. The

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:37.680
<v Speaker 1>latest iPhones and the most recent iPhones have different kinds

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of exposure controls that you use to make your photos

0:57:40.520 --> 0:57:44.880
<v Speaker 1>look great. Everybody, listen. Everybody posts photos to Facebook, to Instagram,

0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to whatever. What about making yours look nice? It's fun

0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:50.720
<v Speaker 1>to do and it's easy. You can also, if you

0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 1>actually wanted to get into cameras, there's a million, billion

0:57:55.080 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 1>zillion cameras that you can get for cheap on eBay,

0:57:57.720 --> 0:58:01.800
<v Speaker 1>including like early digital cameras. I got my first digital

0:58:01.840 --> 0:58:05.720
<v Speaker 1>camera that I actually liked was like a Cannon Power

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Shot G nine, which came out I think in like

0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:10.680
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine. I got it for like fifty

0:58:10.760 --> 0:58:15.000
<v Speaker 1>nine bucks. It took wonderful photographs. And I enjoyed using it,

0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's a great way for a person like me,

0:58:17.600 --> 0:58:20.960
<v Speaker 1>where like sometimes you have social awkwardness and it's weird

0:58:21.000 --> 0:58:22.959
<v Speaker 1>to take out your phone and be scrolling your phone.

0:58:23.000 --> 0:58:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You know you're that person, right Sometimes, like in a gathering,

0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:29.120
<v Speaker 1>when it's like, oh, the conversation kind of dies and

0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the person I know walked away, I'll just scroll my

0:58:31.440 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 1>phone for a little bit. Why not take photos of

0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a fun event when friends gathered and you can have

0:58:38.120 --> 0:58:40.520
<v Speaker 1>those memories. It's a great way to stay present but

0:58:40.640 --> 0:58:44.760
<v Speaker 1>also be distant and constably distant and engage when you

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:46.520
<v Speaker 1>want to engage when you have that little bit of

0:58:46.560 --> 0:58:50.720
<v Speaker 1>social awkwardness, take photographs, Rosie. Oh, and I'll say secondarily,

0:58:50.760 --> 0:58:54.640
<v Speaker 1>since we're doing these fast, now, make music do you

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:58.720
<v Speaker 1>have on your phone? There's you don't have to like

0:58:58.800 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot of money, but there's a there's many

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:03.560
<v Speaker 1>fruit loops. There's a free version for you so you

0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 1>can do on your phone or on your tablet. That

0:59:06.520 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 1>is a fun way to just make music and do

0:59:08.880 --> 0:59:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it very very easily, And it's a great way to

0:59:12.080 --> 0:59:16.320
<v Speaker 1>just like chew up hours hours and hours and hours

0:59:16.400 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 1>of time. Make a little ditty turn it into your ringtone.

0:59:19.320 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 1>It's fun. Yeah, Rosie, what about.

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You, I've loved I just want to say, I've loved

0:59:23.960 --> 0:59:27.160
<v Speaker 2>seeing your kind of exploration of photography. It's been like

0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a total joy to see that. So it's also nice

0:59:29.080 --> 0:59:30.800
<v Speaker 2>when you when you take photos for your friends to

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:31.240
<v Speaker 2>see them.

0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:33.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's been so especially the Donna photos, more

0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:35.400
<v Speaker 3>of those, of course.

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:40.520
<v Speaker 2>We always Donna's a legend. Yeah. So for me, I

0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I've always thought I'm not really a crafty person. I've

0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:45.920
<v Speaker 2>always I like to like, I just don't feel like

0:59:45.920 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I have like the vision or the hand coordinate hand

0:59:49.400 --> 0:59:52.680
<v Speaker 2>eye coordination. But in the last year I've gotten really

0:59:52.720 --> 0:59:56.600
<v Speaker 2>really into crocheting. It was actually totally doable and the

0:59:57.120 --> 0:59:59.600
<v Speaker 2>big secret for me. I had lots of fantastic friends

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:02.520
<v Speaker 2>who are enter crocheting and knitting. But my sweet friend James,

1:00:02.560 --> 1:00:07.040
<v Speaker 2>who we had on the podcast, he took me to

1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>a shop called the Knitting Tree, and I was taught

1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>by a fantastic woman called Brenda, who is a costume designer,

1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:15.600
<v Speaker 2>how to single crochet. And that changed my life because

1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:17.560
<v Speaker 2>she explained it to me in a way I understood.

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It was a free gathering. There's lots of local, great

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>groups like this, and since then I have crocheted many

1:00:23.720 --> 1:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>jumpers sweaters as you may call them if you're American.

1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I crochet gifts, I crochet gloves, I croche weird wall hangings.

1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I am doing much crocheting for Christmas. It keeps your

1:00:36.000 --> 1:00:38.040
<v Speaker 2>hands busy, keeps your mind busy. You've got to be

1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:42.040
<v Speaker 2>counting those rows. So it's been an absolute boon for

1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>my mental health. Another thing that I recently discovered is

1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>there was a fantastic artist called Shingyon Kore who is

1:00:48.840 --> 1:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>a comics artist, but who also makes these things called

1:00:51.400 --> 1:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Keepsake games. And it's basically a game that when you

1:00:55.440 --> 1:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>finish playing it, you are left with something to keep,

1:00:57.880 --> 1:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and it can be a map that you have stitched

1:00:59.840 --> 1:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>your character's adventure on, or it can be a journal

1:01:02.760 --> 1:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that is full of letters that you've written between different characters.

1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>And they regularly kickstart their games and crowd fund them,

1:01:11.800 --> 1:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>and that is some of the most fulfilling kind of

1:01:14.600 --> 1:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>chewing up hours and then having something that you can

1:01:17.360 --> 1:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of look back on and go, oh, this is like,

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad I spent my time doing that. So

1:01:21.360 --> 1:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>those have been the big two. For me recently, crafting

1:01:24.320 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>has been a great outlet, so I would definitely recommend

1:01:28.320 --> 1:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>exploring your version of it.

1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Aboo.

1:01:32.480 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 3>So the first one I have down is running, and

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I realized this is an episode about cozy things, and

1:01:38.000 --> 1:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>I've said a lot of not cozy things so far

1:01:41.600 --> 1:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>on the episode, but for the people who are like running,

1:01:44.520 --> 1:01:46.240
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, that's the least coziest thing I can

1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:47.880
<v Speaker 3>think of. I was in the same boat like my

1:01:48.080 --> 1:01:52.080
<v Speaker 3>entire life, and it wasn't until this year that I

1:01:52.120 --> 1:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>took it a bit more seriously, mostly because of an

1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>existential crisis around turning thirty and realizing everyone in my

1:01:58.920 --> 1:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>family died of heart disease and I don't want to

1:02:00.800 --> 1:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>go the same way. But it turned into a thing

1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>that is actually really joyful, Like the thing that does

1:02:07.200 --> 1:02:11.360
<v Speaker 3>it for me on a run is audiobooks. Like music

1:02:11.520 --> 1:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>is too high key and makes me run too hard

1:02:14.160 --> 1:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>and tire myself out too fast.

1:02:15.600 --> 1:02:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, as we've established on extra episodes, that's because you're

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:20.480
<v Speaker 4>listening to imagine dragons when you Yeah, that's fair.

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe it's the wrong kind of music. Yeah, I

1:02:23.400 --> 1:02:26.160
<v Speaker 3>can't believe you've ben out me like this. Aaron put

1:02:26.200 --> 1:02:28.560
<v Speaker 3>it on the side. Yeah, true, I said it publicly.

1:02:28.640 --> 1:02:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I do listen to Imagine Dragons and other bad music

1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.840
<v Speaker 3>on runs, but I mostly listen to audiobooks on runs.

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:36.480
<v Speaker 3>It's a great way to not only do my other

1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:39.600
<v Speaker 3>favorite hobby, reading, but also it just lets me just

1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:43.160
<v Speaker 3>chill on a run and run around slowly and be

1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>healthier about it. And it's been great. I've been doing

1:02:45.800 --> 1:02:48.480
<v Speaker 3>it for the past year and I went from like

1:02:49.240 --> 1:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>not being able to even hobble through a single mile

1:02:51.520 --> 1:02:54.439
<v Speaker 3>to comfortably being able to run a ten k now

1:02:55.560 --> 1:02:58.200
<v Speaker 3>and hopefully you know, in the next couple of months,

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>i'll be I'll be participate in my first race. And

1:03:01.680 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe someday I thought, like, it's a it's really become

1:03:05.600 --> 1:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>a thing that I didn't think I would like and

1:03:08.880 --> 1:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>now I've come to love. So give it a chance,

1:03:11.440 --> 1:03:14.360
<v Speaker 3>and maybe, like, don't do music. I know there are

1:03:14.400 --> 1:03:16.440
<v Speaker 3>people raw dogging running. I don't think I can do that,

1:03:16.600 --> 1:03:19.360
<v Speaker 3>just like my thoughts, but audiobooks might be a way

1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.919
<v Speaker 3>to help you maintain a steady pace. The other thing,

1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this is a hobby or just

1:03:24.760 --> 1:03:27.800
<v Speaker 3>a lifestyle choice that I've made for myself, But on

1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>particularly bad days, I will watch bad reality TV and

1:03:31.600 --> 1:03:33.880
<v Speaker 3>order fast food like Taco Bell. Aaron dogs me about

1:03:33.920 --> 1:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>eating Taco Bell all the time, But yeah, I mean,

1:03:37.120 --> 1:03:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that that's the thing that will always

1:03:39.200 --> 1:03:43.640
<v Speaker 3>make me feel cozy after a particularly stressful or bad day.

1:03:43.920 --> 1:03:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Throw on something that's totally mindless married at first sight,

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:50.240
<v Speaker 3>they're like hour to half a long episodes and you

1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>really only have to pay attention to like ten minutes

1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:54.080
<v Speaker 3>of them, like use twenty percent of your brain to

1:03:54.080 --> 1:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>pay attention to it. So those are my two things.

1:03:57.200 --> 1:03:57.960
<v Speaker 3>What about you erin?

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:01.200
<v Speaker 4>This is something that started for me during Pandemic. I

1:04:01.200 --> 1:04:04.320
<v Speaker 4>started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some friends, and we

1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:07.080
<v Speaker 4>had our very first in person game, you know, two

1:04:07.160 --> 1:04:10.880
<v Speaker 4>years into pandemic or so, and we had been playing online,

1:04:10.960 --> 1:04:13.400
<v Speaker 4>and so this was our first chance to buy minis.

1:04:13.800 --> 1:04:16.200
<v Speaker 4>And my friend was like, I'm bringing a bunch of paint,

1:04:16.400 --> 1:04:18.520
<v Speaker 4>bring your minis, I'll bring some others and we're gonna

1:04:18.560 --> 1:04:21.440
<v Speaker 4>paint our characters. And I can't tell you how much

1:04:21.440 --> 1:04:23.720
<v Speaker 4>fun I had, like with all these friends from college,

1:04:24.200 --> 1:04:26.160
<v Speaker 4>waking up in the morning, sitting out on the porch

1:04:26.240 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 4>watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and we'd

1:04:28.440 --> 1:04:31.840
<v Speaker 4>be painting miniatures and it wound up being something that

1:04:31.960 --> 1:04:35.520
<v Speaker 4>I have bought more miniatures without even having physical games

1:04:35.520 --> 1:04:38.880
<v Speaker 4>of D and D to play. It's a really fun

1:04:38.920 --> 1:04:41.560
<v Speaker 4>thing to just sit, listen to some music, have something

1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:44.920
<v Speaker 4>to drink, whether it be coffee or tea or you know,

1:04:45.200 --> 1:04:48.600
<v Speaker 4>a tequila or whatever, and just paint because it's a

1:04:48.680 --> 1:04:51.439
<v Speaker 4>hand eye coordination thing. But it's also not me looking

1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:53.880
<v Speaker 4>at a screen, which feels very rare these days so

1:04:53.880 --> 1:04:56.880
<v Speaker 4>many times, like we talked about TV, movie, video games,

1:04:56.920 --> 1:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. This is it's just this beautiful, little quiet

1:04:59.680 --> 1:05:03.920
<v Speaker 4>moment that I can just live in with. You know, whatever,

1:05:04.000 --> 1:05:06.400
<v Speaker 4>silly little dwarf, I'm going to give him blue pants,

1:05:06.440 --> 1:05:08.720
<v Speaker 4>and you know, there's so many different characters that you

1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:11.800
<v Speaker 4>can play around with, and eventually I'll use them in

1:05:11.880 --> 1:05:14.680
<v Speaker 4>some actual physical D and D game, But until then,

1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:17.040
<v Speaker 4>that's I don't need anything for it. It's just this fun,

1:05:17.080 --> 1:05:23.080
<v Speaker 4>little semi creative, semi artistic, semi mind turning off activity

1:05:23.120 --> 1:05:26.800
<v Speaker 4>that I really love.

1:05:26.120 --> 1:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>We've really cozied. I think that's something here for everyone.

1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe, Yeah, I think there is something here for everyone. Hopefully, folks,

1:05:37.480 --> 1:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you got some enjoyment out of that listing of cozy content.

1:05:42.440 --> 1:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Next week on Extra Vision, we're diving into the season
