00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: what I mean. And then yeah, if you are drinking

Speaker 1: happy and living the good life within the boundaries whatever

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: your boundaries are. How do I say that in the

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: other way, Well, you've got on a bunch of disclaimers,

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think you've got the main point to cross. Okay,

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you always talk to be cautious, and yeah, we are

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: back with some of the original intent behind the Happy Hour,

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: where we feature a delicious drink and or beverage typically

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: created by a woman or a film, a non binary

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: person or maybe there is there actual beverage like a

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: beer or whiskey. We've done those two um. And then also,

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: we're actually going to make it a happy happy hour

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: this time, I promise. I know. I'm the Queen of

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the sad sack content, ok And no, I'm gonna We're

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna try to keep in line with happy or happiness

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: or maybe dreadful even Okay, But today we are featuring

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a delicious Gin cocktail created by mixologists Audrey Saunders, a

29
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: legend in the field, a pro who has been in

30
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: the business for years, like ninety nineties or earlier, and

31
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: which sounds not that long ago, but apparently it is.

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I have having in crisis. It has been in the

33
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: business for years and making waves, beginning with an ode

34
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: to gin because Gin is delicious. She opened the Pago Club,

35
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: which is named after the Gin cocktail. If you want

36
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: that recipe you can just google it. Uh, having shelves

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: and shelves of gin, which sounds like my dream place.

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I think it said like thirty something bottles of gin

39
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: and seven bottles of vodka. So I was like, yeah,

40
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: let me go to this place. And today we are

41
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: sipping on her cocktail or our variation of Gin Gin

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Mule again with a smnty twist because one of us

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: any has an allergy, and neither one of us has

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: any ment on hand. So yeah, so it feels like

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: we didn't, you know, necessarily need to mention it. But

46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: you're right, all right, we don't have meant, we don't

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: have mint. So here's the actual recipe before we begin.

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: It is one mint sprigg, one ounce simple syrup, three

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: four ounce lime juice, one and three fourth ounce dry

50
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: gin um, and one ounce of ginger beer. And if

51
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: you actually go look for her recipe, Saunders created her

52
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: own ginger beer recipe which is in there. It is

53
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: as delightful and I don't but I don't have any

54
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: ginger on hand, do you? I know, because there's actually

55
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: a story behind that, but no I don't. So essentially

56
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: you muddle up I believe, the first three ingredients, uh,

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: and then you add the dry gin and ginger beer

58
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: and shake it up. According to one of the sites,

59
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: the ginger beer that she makes is not as fizzy

60
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: so it can be shaken up. You can't with the

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: kind that Annie and I have because it is can

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: very carbonated. Sorry, So also thank you Samantha for the

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: emergency ginger beer delivery. Um. But also I'm going to

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: confess a lot of times I skipped this step, and

65
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I know that makes me terrible, but I just was

66
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: gonna skip it anyway, so I don't shake it up.

67
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: To be fair, I didn't do this one either because

68
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: a I didn't add neither simple syrup nor a minced brick.

69
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: So this is really our own variation obviously, because our

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: ginger beer is pretty sweet, and so I don't feel

71
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: it's necessary for that. And I did the one time

72
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: shaking of the carbonated drink champagne, and it was a disaster,

73
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: so it was bad. It was like everywhere it was

74
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: a Holliday episode even better. So she was like, what

75
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? That's fair? Yes, but yes. I also,

76
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: for my variation, added halipeneos because I love halipeneos in

77
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: ginger anyway, so I was like, why not might as well?

78
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: And mine is, uh the impress gin, which is the

79
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: blue one that turns purple with acid. What about your variation, Annie, Well,

80
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: it's cracking me up because I think you and I,

81
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, we have our our differences in our loves,

82
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: but we have our similarities. Because I also didn't use

83
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: simple syrup because I prefer less sweet things, and I

84
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: added more lime juice, but I still had some of

85
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: my cosmic Star Wars color changing sparkly gin. Yeah, so

86
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I used it. So we both have kind of a

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: purplely variety of this and we didn't plan it. We

88
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: didn't plan it at all. We're just in sync. That's

89
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: how it goes, except when it comes to in sync

90
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: versus Backstreet Boards and about that. But yeah, so we

91
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: did take a variation. Obviously, UM, I would put pretty

92
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: big variation. So we're just going to call it the

93
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Sminty Gingin Moule. Can we call it that? But we

94
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to give credit to the fact that she

95
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: created a drink. It has a lot of recipes which

96
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: I want to look into more as we come through. UM.

97
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: One of the things about song RSS, she talks about

98
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: her journey and becoming a professional in the cocktail industry,

99
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: has a pursuing of her interests. So she started it

100
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: after finding all these different types of cocktails, really loving

101
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: it and was like, I need to I need to

102
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: be a part of this, and so she took every

103
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to learn and grow within the craft. She talks

104
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: about pushing and finding people to teach her and find

105
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: her way to expand in this industry and take a room.

106
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: I love that she was, like she even talks about

107
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: how she bothered a couple of friends to teach her more,

108
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it wasn't that way, but loving it

109
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: and then growing it into this giant business, owning her

110
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: own cocktail bars and becoming an icon in this industry

111
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: in New York. So that's I thought that was huge,

112
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: And I thought this was a great example of finding

113
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: joy and then taking that joy and expanding upon that.

114
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: So I wanted to take some time and do that

115
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: as a happy hour eighty. I kind of already know.

116
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: I think the listeners who love you and your fans

117
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: in general kind of already know. But one of the

118
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: best things about talking to you about what you love

119
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: is that it is contagious, like it makes people want

120
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: to be a part of that. So will you tell

121
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: us something that you have found joy in and that

122
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: you expanded upon. Yes, well, I would say obviously it's

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: fan fiction, is one um. Fan fiction can seem like

124
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: a solitary thing if you don't know much about it,

125
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: but it's all fans who are connecting of our loves

126
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: of these characters and these stories. And putting them in

127
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: these situations that are sometimes terrible. Like last night, I

128
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: was in tears at one of my favorite ones. I

129
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: was like, why but I love it? But why? But

130
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of I guess that finding that connection through passion

131
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: and in my case like very nerdy things. So for example,

132
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: like this jin that I made that I call my

133
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: galactic gin. I made it for a Dungeons and Jagons

134
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: thing because I love doing themes. I love like creating

135
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: things based on things that I love. So I love

136
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: like making foods and giving them horrible Star Wars pun names,

137
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: or making drinks and giving them horrible Star Wars fun

138
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: names puns. I love making. I mean, I find joy

139
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: in a good pun, especially when it takes a minute

140
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: a hit, and then when it does, they're like, oh

141
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I love it, I love it. I just I go

142
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: all out like writing these scenarios and D and D

143
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and they're just full of puns. And I like sharing

144
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: that creativity and seeing people find their own joy in

145
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: my goofiness. I like that um and I always try

146
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: to keep track of that because sometimes I can get overwhelmed,

147
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: like I gotta make a puppet show for Dungeons and Dragons.

148
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: Which is absolutely true. Uh, but the moment when they

149
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: do the puppet show, it's gonna be so good. It's

150
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna make me so happy. I love sharing those things.

151
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: I love sharing like anything star wars with people. I

152
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: love giving random facts. But also recently I've rediscovered my

153
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: love for just if I can taking a moment outside

154
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: and just appreciating the sun and the breeze and the

155
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: colors right now, they're like greens of the trees. Amazing. Also,

156
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: I like a good I like a good competitive streak.

157
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I got a Mario party situation going on right now,

158
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: and the stakes are high listeners, and I really like it.

159
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm mad about it, but I enjoy it. Yeah, and

160
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: you're actually pretty good to me, I think in comparison,

161
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: like yeah, and everybody's better than me. But when you

162
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: were telling me about the people you're competing with, the like, no,

163
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: they're better than me, I'm like, really, yeah, we play

164
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: with the CPUs on hard. I don't like that. That's unnecessary,

165
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: un necessary. I think I complained about that on several

166
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: days ago. Why is this hard like this? Why did

167
00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: you do this war? I was very upset though You're Yeah,

168
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, for me sometimes I have a hard time

169
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: pinpointing what brings me joy because I don't know. I

170
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: don't have hobbies like the regular normal hobbies I I

171
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: I felt like I was lacking growing up because I

172
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: didn't have things like that. I tried to make myself

173
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: because it felt more human. So I was like, man,

174
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: I'm an emotionless robot for a long time, so I

175
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: would just make up things like Okay, i'll collect this,

176
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll collect this, and I just never really cared. I

177
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: did it for the sake of feeling like there's something,

178
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: some type of identity to it. So for me, I

179
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have things like that. I used to love

180
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: to write. I don't write anymore. I used to love

181
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: to read. I don't really read anymore. I tried to

182
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: pack up knitting. It did not go well. Coming back.

183
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I try to pick up card reading. It did not

184
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: go well. I think for me, my happiest joy ist

185
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: time is spending time with people that I love, and

186
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: that's I know that's not exactly a hobby, but that's

187
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: something that I find joy in when I can connect

188
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: with someone on a deeper level. Which also was really

189
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: anxiety written for me. God, I'm trying to be happy,

190
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: but that like I am, I am intense and I've

191
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: gotten this often. I feel like listeners may already know

192
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: this by the way I bring up subjects and the

193
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: things I want to talk about. So I know it

194
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: can be exhausting, but I don't know how else to

195
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: be because for me to know you, I have to

196
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: truly know you, and when I do, then I can

197
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: connect with you and trying to be jokey, jokey and fun,

198
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: which I can do that too. That means we're probably

199
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: not that close. Um. If that's my only personality that

200
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, most likely that you don't know me, and

201
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: that's that's a whole thing of like trust and building up.

202
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: But because I need to know who you are first

203
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: before I trust you, if we can't even get to

204
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: that point, then we're not We're not that level. And

205
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: I find the joy of having those people in my

206
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: life again. We're talking about coming back and getting those

207
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: moments with friends. Finally have I had that with you,

208
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: And I've been really grateful because I think You've been

209
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: one of two people maybe three, that I've been able

210
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: to have that with, um, And so it still keeps

211
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: me grounded. I am absolutely an introvert and can't do

212
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people at it once without feeling completely

213
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: zapped and or yeah, panicked. But having these moments have

214
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: it's my joy that's out of it's a hobby, but

215
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: also having the moments of like being with my dog

216
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: while she's cuddling him on me while I'm watching TV

217
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: at the same time I'm playing a phone game that's

218
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of been a joyous thing where I've just kind

219
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: of check out. I've talked about this before, where I'll

220
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: wake up in the mornings in silence, go sit in

221
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: the living room after grabbing my coffee hot coffee, getting

222
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: on my phone and just taking a couple of hours,

223
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: maybe an hour, maybe thirty minutes, who knows, maybe five hours,

224
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: just playing a little game and zoning out, but in silence.

225
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: And there's been something really joyous to that. To collect

226
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: myself another thing. And this is maybe just a nero

227
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: divergent thing. I don't think I'm on the spectrum, but

228
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: maybe i am. Sometimes I'm like this makes me think

229
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: I am. Um is that I love just sitting in

230
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: the bed and not moving. Uh, that is my safe

231
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: space and so on, like today is a bed day.

232
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: I will be doing nothing but sitting in my bed.

233
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: I will eat all my food here, I will watch

234
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: TV here, I may work here, I'll probably take a nap.

235
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: But that has also brought me joy, which also makes

236
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: me feel very lazy m hm, and I feel bad

237
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: about that sometimes, but that's something that I also find

238
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: joy in in that moment, and I love it when

239
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: my partner will join me, like he will just sit

240
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: there with me. I'm like, Okay, this is why I

241
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: love this. I love this, but it's the same way

242
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: like I also love seeing my friends on a different

243
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: level when I'm not having to think about things. So

244
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: when I see my friends at my little day as classes,

245
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: I don't do that much anymore because the pandemic. I

246
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: would go in and out, and I've done it less

247
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: because it's been very stressful and I don't have time

248
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: right now. But I enjoyed those moments of being like

249
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a completely different person. They don't know the ins and

250
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: outs of me that I have to go on that level,

251
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: but we can dance and joke and move on and

252
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: still feel connected by that moment. There is something to

253
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: that too, So those are the ways I find enjoy

254
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: and I miss a few of these things, but keeping

255
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: those intact, especially at a really rough time and almost

256
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: every person's life right now. Yeah, yeah, I think that. Uh,

257
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: for me, there has been several moments during this pandemic

258
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: which I have largely spent alone. Again, you and I,

259
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I've I've found so much joy and hanging out with

260
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: you and you kind of doing your thing and me

261
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: doing my thing and like letting me live my Star

262
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Wars best life. It's been great and it's been a

263
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: enjoy working with you. We've we've been able to find

264
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: a way to work from home and that's so lucky

265
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: to do that. And certainly through the pandemic, I've, as

266
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: I said, I have spent most of it alone. But

267
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: those times I do hang out with people and I

268
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: get in competitions and with Mario party or a do

269
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: D and D or whatever it is, it's it's really

270
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: made me. The friendships that have remained and if lasted,

271
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: just feel so special, YEA, so special to me. And

272
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: the times that we do get to hang out, even

273
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: if it's not that often, I feel so special right

274
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: and bring me joy. Right, Yeah, And I think that's

275
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: obviously the bigger conversation in this is that we Andy

276
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: and I have been able to make this a bigger thing,

277
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: whether it's we get to get on here and have

278
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: our voices heard and talk about uh issues or things

279
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: that make us sad, make us mad, make us happy,

280
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: um also talk about the loves that we have about

281
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: social justice and these like conversations about women and having

282
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: these types of diagnosis or having these things that they've

283
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: battled or trauma is important to me and something that

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it's important that we keep talking about

285
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: it so that a we don't feel alone but be

286
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: also see each other and support each other in those times.

287
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: But also like having these moments of finding your laws

288
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: for things that many of the other audience listeners they

289
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: do too, and they don't get to share it because

290
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: it's not a girl's world quote unquote, or it's not

291
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: of World War films or not, you know, like all

292
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: of these things and then being able no, but I'm

293
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: taking it and this is what I know and loving

294
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: and expanding on it. But that's we get to do that.

295
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: So there's we have been fortunate and thank you all

296
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: for being a part of that with us, because it's

297
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: something that again for me is fairly new uh, and learning,

298
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: learning that level of privilege as well as hopefully um,

299
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: honoring it and honoring the you, the listener as well

300
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: in these things. UM, and we just wanted to take

301
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: a time to celebrate eight that that we do have

302
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: the freedom to have these important conversations, so that we

303
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: can build up our own community and to see that

304
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: we're not alone. M hmm. Yeah, you all bring us joy, listeners,

305
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: It's really true. I love several of you have written

306
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: in about your like Star Wars fan girling lately, and

307
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: I've been like, oh my god, and thank you to
