1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and SMITHA.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm welcome to Steff I've never told you production of

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio, and welcome to twenty twenty six.

4
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: Yes, that's me.

5
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: It's hard to know when this is going to come out,

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: but as of recording, this is supposed to come out

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: in the new year.

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: So happy new Year, hopeing well for you, Good luck

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: to you, Yes, good luck to you.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 2: And as always, as is tradition, we're a little late

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: on things, so we're doing our twenty twenty five recap

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: at the beginning of twenty twenty six. So this is

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: just a tradition that we have where we look back

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: over the year and we pick out some of the

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: favorite things that we've done, some of our favorite episodes,

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: some of our favorite segments, anything that's.

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Stuck out, and we make a lot of content.

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Listeners, as I'm sure you know, so it's actually kind

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: of difficult to narrow it down, but we've done our

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: best and we have our picks here. But as always, listeners,

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: we would love to hear from you if there is

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: anything that really stood out to you that you want

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: to hear more of or less of, or what you

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: want to see us try or do please let us know.

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: So sometimes I worry Samantha that we get kind of

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: we use a lot of technical jargon that people don't

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: know what we're talking about necessarily, But the way that

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: we do things here is that it's not even technical

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: and you probably do know. But to make sure we're

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: all on the same page, we usually have two full

31
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: episodes we call full episodes episodes typically new episodes, and

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: those are ones that are longer and more researched. Sometimes

33
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Samantha and I split them. Sometimes one does one and

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: we just do our own thing, and I think it's

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: pretty obvious who does which one. Usually we say then

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: we have our feminist around the World segment slash fictional

37
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: women around the segment, and then we have our happy Hour,

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: which we didn't choose the favorite of because I think

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: those are more all over the place.

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of hard to clarify.

41
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: But then we also have like once a month segments

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 2: like when Bridget comes on or Eves comes on. We're

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: female first, our book club or feminist maybe Friday or

44
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: even in fiction. So we're breaking them down into categories. Yes,

45
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: so let us start with the favorite full episode, So

46
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: mine for twenty twenty five was our two parter on

47
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: adult friendships. And this is because as listeners know, as

48
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: Samantha knows, I actually did change some behavior after that episode.

49
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: I texted friends I had in a while. I met

50
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: up with friends I had in a while, even if

51
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: they had kids. I was just I was in my

52
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: head that all they're too busy, they don't want to

53
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: hang out. And they did and we had a wonderful time.

54
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: And people asked me about that one a lot, because

55
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: I think adults do have those questions of how to

56
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: navigate these friendships. So it was just one that really

57
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: impacted me and changed how I behaved. And I still

58
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: I recently texted someone I hat in a while. He

59
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: did not text back, and that's fine, but I reached

60
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: out because I was like, you know what, maybe maybe

61
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: he does want to talk. Maybe he will later. I'm

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: not sure. So that one I'm alm. I gotta throw

63
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: a bonus in here. The last of us two episodes

64
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: we did, Yeah, it feels like forever ago.

65
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: I well, you know, I'm all the way back in

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: the ninety so who knows where we're at.

67
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: It was the beginning, it was like April of this year,

68
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: but you know, I love doing those, and I I

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: won't spoil anything, but I have to say I was

70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: glad to have that truth come out because I do

71
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: talk about it a lot, so if you listen to

72
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: the show, it was nice to finally be able to

73
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: be able to be like, yeah, this is what this

74
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: is what's going on. And then also just a shout

75
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: out to Christina who always makes the fiction episodes sound great.

76
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: But we did get to the end of our Sminty

77
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: fiction trilogy on Terminus, but it was three parts and

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: we got to the end of it and it felt

79
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: like a kind of closure. It felt like it and

80
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: We're going to move on to something new, so I'm

81
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: very excited.

82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: Ooh it my pig was about Virginity and gen Z.

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: Actually we had a lot of conversations because like, it's

84
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: interesting growing old, getting older is interesting to see the cycles,

85
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: like you when as you're in the process of being

86
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: twenties and then like thirties and now like coming into forties,

87
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, and seeing those young ones being adults

88
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: and seeing the cycles or newness in the reasoning is

89
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: always interesting anyway. But talking about how gen Z perceived

90
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 3: virginity and its retake, but for better reasons. I will

91
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: say that in understanding what they were talking about, I'm like, ah,

92
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: this makes a lot more sense in where we are.

93
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: And so having those like research moments of seeing what

94
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 3: younger generations are talking about when it comes to sex

95
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: and relationships, it's fascinating to see it brings both hope

96
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: and worry. Yes, Like, I don't know how else to

97
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: talk about that. I think we talked a lot about

98
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: real relationships and the younger generations this year, and it's

99
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: been fascinating in this conversation again, even because when we

100
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: talked about online dating during COVID versus today, which we

101
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: had to come back round to do, it was that change.

102
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fascinating.

103
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: It is, and it's even though time feels both forever

104
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: ago and it's so yesterday yesterday, It wasn't that long

105
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: of a time, but things have changed so much during

106
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: that span of time. Yeah, so it is really interesting

107
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: to look into it, right.

108
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: I mean, let's just be honest.

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: COVID changed, the pandemic changed so much in a way

110
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 3: that we it was unexpected.

111
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: So it is interesting also.

112
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: Like the the obvious gender divide when it comes to

113
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: how everyone reacted.

114
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's fascinating.

115
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: Also said said, jumping into so what did you pick

116
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: for your Monday Mini Favorites?

117
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: Okay, did I mention that we do Monday minis too?

118
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we say we do. It's on Monday's.

119
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Everyone a little bit researched.

120
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were supposed to be really short, but we

121
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: lose track of it all the time and they end

122
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: up being like thirty minutes long.

123
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: Usually it's like one thing that we see as a

124
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: headline and then it turns out to be a huge thing.

125
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: You're like, what, yes, but one of my favorites.

126
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: And this is kind of piggybacking off a recent topic

127
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: you did, Samantha Is. We did an episode on gaming

128
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: for the Holidays, but in it we were talking about

129
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: games that specifically have some kind of holiday theme in it.

130
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: And it was just really comical to me because, as

131
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: usual when we do these gaming episodes, it was so

132
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: clear about the type of games you play versus the

133
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: type of.

134
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Games I play.

135
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: And it's not to say I do enjoy the type

136
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: of games you play, but I come out with like, well,

137
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Parasite Eve, this horror game takes place on Christmas Eve.

138
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: But it was fun to research that define those examples.

139
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: And I do love Parasite Eve and it has a

140
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: banger opening soundtrack if you want to listen to it,

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: it's really good.

142
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: Yes, well, just I guess I really was on a

143
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: theme this year apparently when it comes to like relationships

144
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: in general. But the male Loneliness Epidemic episode was interesting

145
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 3: because we are hearing that phrase turn and being spit

146
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: out constantly and realizing what this is. But it's actually

147
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: something we need to be watching, and not because women

148
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: are causing it, and not because of these things, but

149
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: because when we were talking about it with the AI

150
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: episode with Ridget which just we just I believe just

151
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: released not long ago, but like it is concerning and

152
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: why it's happening, and it kind of opens your eyes

153
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 3: to seeing why they're lonely and what needs.

154
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 4: To be changed.

155
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: But I will say the aftermath of the videos that

156
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: I've seen men coming together to really hold each other accountable,

157
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: to have conversations.

158
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: Since then, it's been nice to see.

159
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is nice to see, but it's become

160
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: I hear it as sort of a buzz phrase, like

161
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: I hear people use it in mainstream a lot more

162
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: now since we've talked about it.

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's only because and again it came through like

164
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: when I was listening to hearing it, I didn't understand it.

165
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: It was kind of like and they say this is

166
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: a male win this epandemic, or is men are not

167
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: lonely enough, Like that's that rhetoric now, And I find

168
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: it interesting because in that conversation is this is nothing

169
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 3: women can do. If it's completely like gendered headedo normative conversation,

170
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: women can't solve this. This is not something we can

171
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: do because it is all male created and it has

172
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: to be male fixed in understanding and having like self awareness.

173
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and are they willing to That's that's the questions said.

174
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 4: The question who's going to do?

175
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: And this is we're going to online timelines because usually

176
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: Tuesdays are our releases for activists or feminists around the world.

177
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 3: I've actually changed it to activists around the world because

178
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, we bring in non binary people as well

179
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: and so many different things, and they are feminists, but

180
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: oftentimes they're activists. As we've turned out, like there's so

181
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: many people who do multiple things in activism, So there's

182
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: including like feminist activism as well as art and all

183
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: these things intersectional in general. And I've really picked out

184
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: the organizations for disability rights. We are on a role

185
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: during that month on Disability Awareness Month, and because there

186
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: are so many good organizations doing so much work that

187
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: have always done this work. And I really enjoyed finding

188
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: out some of these organizations as well as I don't

189
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: talk about the film but like Patrice m I look,

190
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: but like those organizations that work with her and all

191
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: these things and what needs to be done. I don't

192
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: think we talk about enough, but it was actually kind.

193
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 4: Of fun enlightening.

194
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the work those organizations do are so important.

195
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean I just saw headline today about one of those,

196
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: not necessarily one of the ones you talked about it,

197
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: but an organizations doing the Trump administration getting rid of

198
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: as L interpreters, which is important for accessibility. So it

199
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: is really really important work that they're doing.

200
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

201
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, I do the Fictional Women Around the World, which

202
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: also comes out on Tuesday. The Subsub the sub sub

203
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: sub sub sub segment. Uh So I chose Morgan Elsbeth.

204
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons I chose her is you

205
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: were not there. I don't know you were not there

206
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: for this episode, Samantha, you were sick, and I think

207
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: you would have liked this episode, so I'm bringing it back. Okay,

208
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: you keep paying things with that all like what I

209
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: remember this?

210
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Okay. So Morgan elswth is you? You know her?

211
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: You just might not know her name, but she is

212
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: from season two of The Mandalorian when the episode when

213
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Ahsoka shows up. She's the person that Ahsoka fights to

214
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: save the town Corvus. Okay, yes, But one of the

215
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: things I thought you would have thought was interesting was

216
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: that her father was a martial artist.

217
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Bruce Lee was her godfather.

218
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Oh would have yeah, And she grew up surrounded by

219
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: like all of these leading martial artists, like most of

220
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: the stunt people who worked on The Mandalorian were trained

221
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: by her dad. And when she got the call that

222
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: they wanted her for this part, she thought it was

223
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: a joke because she thought she was too old, essentially

224
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: like I've aged out.

225
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: But no, they were like, no, we want you. And

226
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: it's really.

227
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: Sweet because her and her dad, after they saw a

228
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: New Hope the Star Wars movie in theaters, they both

229
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: bought like plastic lightsabers and would practice doing oh wow,

230
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: lightsaber fights, so she got to have that moment.

231
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: That's awesome. She's been preparing her whole life for that.

232
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: I love it so much.

233
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know when I was doing this research, I

234
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: was like, Samantha would like this one.

235
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: So that is why I brought that back so you would.

236
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 4: Know what I was missing.

237
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: It was a good one. She's a cool character. She's

238
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: like a she's a very she's dark slash gray character,

239
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: but she's got a lot of history you can look into.

240
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: She's an interesting She's an interesting character. I also want

241
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: to shout out Joey. Yeah, our contrut Joey and their

242
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: episode on Lois Lane.

243
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was cool.

244
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: Well, if I had to pick out Joey episode, which

245
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: we didn't put in here, I was gonna put them

246
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: on Donnie because that was a fun conversation, especially seeing

247
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: what it is happening in New York from their perspective.

248
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, they brought.

249
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: On so many good, good thoughts, especially with like all

250
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: of the conferences and such. We do need to get

251
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: them here for Dragon Con so they can report what

252
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: they need to report back.

253
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 4: To us about what they thought.

254
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and our Twilight viewing, it will happen it will happen.

255
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of movies, that brings us to a feminist movie Friday, Yeah, okay,

256
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: I had to tie, and they're very funny opposites. So

257
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: one is The Last Year to Corn, which is a

258
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: very melancholy cartoon that I saw as a kid and

259
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: have loved and I was excited to share with people.

260
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: The other is very recent film Dangerous Animals, which is

261
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: a horror movie about a serial killer who uses sharks

262
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: to kill people.

263
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: I actually really liked that movie too. I would have

264
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: put that on the list.

265
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: I said that you had soli from me, but I

266
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: decided to go jump into a spoiled Saturday K Pop

267
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: Demon Hunters because obviously it's very impactful and it had

268
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: a lot of feelings seeing this movie and still with

269
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,359
Speaker 3: all of the nominations they've grabbed all of the awards,

270
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: the women who voiced the singing voices for Hunt trucks

271
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: being on tours and joy, it's really fascinating to see it.

272
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: As it continues to grow in popularity. People are not

273
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: hating on it yet.

274
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: I assumed we would get haters, but I haven't had

275
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: that hasn't from my perspective. I haven't seen that maybe

276
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: I'm just too far into my love for k pop

277
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: Demon Hunter, but it was something to see the rise

278
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: of the love of Korean culture. They did something so

279
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: new instead of the remakes after all the years of

280
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: just all remakes or like, this was brand new, especially

281
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: for a Western audience.

282
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: So seeing that really really made me happy.

283
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: And I'll stay on my top probably ten experiences as

284
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: an Asian adoptee or Korean adoptee seeing as part of culture.

285
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, I could not think of that one.

286
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

287
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: I saw my mom and I watched the Macy's Day

288
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: Parade because we're that's one of our traditions.

289
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: And they performed at the Macy's Day Parade and I

290
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: was like.

291
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: Oh, my louck, let me tell you why.

292
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I am like such a nerd and my

293
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: mom is so sweet that I always.

294
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Love to tell her, like, I know what this is,

295
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: let me explain it to you. Yes, that brings us

296
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: to book club. So I chose Undead Girl Gang, which

297
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: was it was a really fun slash sad at the end,

298
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: but it's mostly fun story about someone trying to figure

299
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: out how her best friend died because she doesn't believe

300
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: the narrative that is being told, and she's a witch,

301
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: so she uses the spell to bring her her friend back,

302
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: but in doing so, she also brings back to bullies

303
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: that she doesn't like, and they're kind of zombie esque

304
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: and they have to stay close to her or it

305
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: gets worse. And there's kind of like high school hijinks

306
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: and stuff like that along with your kind of elements

307
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: of horror and mystery that you're trying to figure out

308
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: what's going on.

309
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: And it was just.

310
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: A really fun trying to figure out what's actually going

311
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: on here, and then seeing the stories of everybody and

312
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: why people did what they did, and then having some closure,

313
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: even if it was.

314
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: A little sad, but it was so good. Again, I

315
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: wanted to be a movie, but yeah, I picked. I

316
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: kind of forget this was our Asian pic. I'm not

317
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: gonna lie.

318
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Hello Universe.

319
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: I loved because it was also like a depth of

320
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: like fortune telling and mysticism.

321
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: A part of this. We love the young boy named.

322
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: Turtle or Virgil.

323
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: I don't know everything about it.

324
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: It was so intrinsic, like if I can imagine it,

325
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: and I still have pieces of that book in my head,

326
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: like I can see it because you create your own world,

327
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: which is the fun part about reading right and having

328
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: like Valencia, all the characters were fixed. That's the younger

329
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: Sister being a part of this conversation.

330
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: It was so good.

331
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: I will also say to shout out that horror book

332
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: that we read, because I also had those pictures of

333
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: them doing Ghost Summer, which was so beautiful. Like again,

334
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: I have pictures from that book and sometimes they go

335
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: inside because there's so much in the woods, so many

336
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: activities in the woods. But Ghost Summer was heart renting

337
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 3: to me, but beautiful as where like Hello Universe a

338
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: little different, a little more uplifting, a lot of better

339
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: happy endings with like the friendships growing, and Ghost Summer

340
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: is just like a lot more like. It also brought

341
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 3: a conclusion, like a conclusive ending family coming back together.

342
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 3: I think that was implication. If you haven't read that,

343
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: you should. But both of those books they haunt me

344
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: in a good way.

345
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: Yes, and Ghost Summer is haunting. It's literally yeah. Yeah.

346
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: But I also love these dynamics of the younger sibling.

347
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but I love that

348
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: when they bring in the young assembling, they come in

349
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: as a good relationship together and then they grow in

350
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: this adventure together.

351
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm a fan.

352
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you bought that one back. Yeah.

353
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: I again, sometimes it's hard to keep check of what

354
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: we did in a year.

355
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 3: But again, if this sticks them up, so Undead Girl Gang,

356
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: and we've read so many good things Undead Girl, Hello,

357
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 3: Universe and got summer really just left vivid pictures that

358
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: I can't stop thinking about.

359
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good books we get to read for that segment.

360
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: My mom asked me recently and she said, do you

361
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: you still love to read? Do you still read? And

362
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: I was like, well, for work, I read a lot,

363
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: and I am glad we have this segment.

364
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we do. I mean, we do have to

365
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: read it for work, but it is like a book,

366
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: right that I might enjoy.

367
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a joy that we can do it for work,

368
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 4: even though it is.

369
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Right work exactly exactly. And that brings us to our

370
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: final shout outs.

371
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: We're so lucky we get to do interview segments with

372
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: people on this show, and we've had We've been really

373
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: fortunate this year to have a lot of really good ones.

374
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: Hopefully that trend will continue into the new year. But

375
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: one that really stuck out to me was the interview

376
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: we did with Egene Carroll, who is like one of

377
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: the only people to successfully see Donald Trump and win.

378
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: And she was just a really fun great.

379
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: I wonder her friend.

380
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: I wanted to go and have coffee with her instead,

381
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: and because she was was it a Danish of toast?

382
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 4: I don't even remember she.

383
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Was, Yeah, she was snacking on something. She was like

384
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: in the woods, the woods behind her with the dog.

385
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: The dog.

386
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: But she also you can just tell she's lived a life,

387
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: like when you're talking to her, she would bring up

388
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: things and passing that I'm like, wait, please explain.

389
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 4: That I really just want to have a conversation with her. Yeah,

390
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 4: I will say.

391
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: I think this is my point of like having bonus

392
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: on bonus on bonus, because I love the interviews that

393
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: we do because it brings so many connections. I said

394
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: it at the very beginning, I'm here to make friends

395
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: because I don't want to like go out, and this

396
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: is how I do it. Eating Carol is definitely up there.

397
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: It is a phenomenal interview. If you haven't had a

398
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 3: chance to listen everything that she says, like we just

399
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: were glued to any of the conversations, and she was

400
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: so fun talking about her book. Her book, Like, her

401
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: book is really good and it does show off a

402
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 3: bit of her personality, but not to the degree of.

403
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: What we saw.

404
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: Her perseverance alone is incredible. I just also loved her

405
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: throwing out names, big huge names and us sitting there

406
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: looking at her like, ma'am, why would we know these people?

407
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: We're still shocked that you're here with us.

408
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and we are probably going to bring her interview

409
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: back soon even though it's been recent, because there's been

410
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: some news around her. And also Alita Hava who's the

411
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: lawyer against her, so uh yeah, that one will probably

412
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: come back. But yeah, she would just be like, oh,

413
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: do you know this person? Like no, I mean I

414
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: know them.

415
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 4: We know them, but we don't know them. They come

416
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 4: to you for advice. We know we want to do.

417
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: This, but she did it in a very genuine.

418
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah way, as if we should. I love when and

419
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: she was one And we have so many big names,

420
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: are bigger names that were so overwhelmed by and intimidated by,

421
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: but they actually look us up. Those are the people

422
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: who intimidate me more. They do because they are such

423
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 3: professionals that they come in and they're like, you do this,

424
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 3: and like, how do you know this? Do you care

425
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: about us?

426
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 4: What? And she happens to be one of those people

427
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: who does that.

428
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure she doesn't everyone, but again, just being in

429
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: that spot, it was a beautiful interview. I had to

430
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: put in Holly and Marie there at the very beginning

431
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 3: of the year, the release of their book. They're always

432
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: so fun. Holly is always so fun. We don't see

433
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: her enough, but we adore her here from Spinty, but

434
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: their book was fantastic. Celebrating what they were able to

435
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: do and accomplish was so much fun having a full

436
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: conversation because it went for a while. We had some

437
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: hiccups that interview, I know messed like really freaked you

438
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 3: out because we had some hiccups with the Riverside our interview.

439
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but.

440
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: That interview went for a while and just conversation.

441
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a really fun one. A peek behind

442
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: the curtain listeners. I had my laptop had a really

443
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: fun problem at the beginning of the year where we

444
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: would use this app called riverside to do to record

445
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: audio with people like not just me and Samantha, and

446
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: it just my laptop hated it and it would sometimes

447
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: just die. And actually it was a very stressful thing.

448
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: And actually, if I'm going to throw in a bonus here,

449
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: Michelle Norris, yeah, Michelle Norris was fantastic.

450
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: I love her.

451
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 2: I was very overwhelmed during that interview, both because I

452
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: love her, but also because I tried to fix this

453
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: problem because I didn't want anything to go wrong when

454
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: she was on and I did not, and so I

455
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: was very.

456
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: Stressed during it. But also update.

457
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: We never said at the end, we were like, we're

458
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: going to make mac and cheese for the Super Bowl

459
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: Samantha and I did.

460
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: We never posted about it anywhere, but we did.

461
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: There was a little little confusion about what we were supposed

462
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: to be doing and how we were supposed to be

463
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: posting things, and then who were participating, because it was

464
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: real confused. I was real confused, but Michelle Norris was

465
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: doing it and she hagged us and her I think

466
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: I did it wrong. I will say that it did

467
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: come out pretty. Is one of those things that it

468
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: tells you to wait to eat, and I am a

469
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: especially when it comes to maca cheese. I wanted it

470
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 3: hot and ready, like I wanted that, but you're supposed

471
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: to let it sit and that was kind of my

472
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: flaw on that one, but we did it. She was

473
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: also one of those that is a cosmic professional and

474
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: also with this up and trying to interview us, we

475
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: were like, no, ma'am.

476
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: Stuff well, and I accidentally, because I was so flustered

477
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: about this laptop problem, I never introduced myself. We have

478
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: done another show before, but it was like a year ago,

479
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: and I don't expect her to but I because under

480
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: my name, I'm the one that kind of runs these things,

481
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: it says Sminty. So I never introduced myself and it

482
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: said Sminty under my little video box. But she said

483
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: when she said my name.

484
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 4: She was like you and Annie. She's like Smitha, Annie,

485
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: you do this. She knew us. She talked about a

486
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: couple of.

487
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: Other episodes like yeah, she was ready again when people

488
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: are that big, I just don't understand why you would

489
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: remove for us. People who are in our own like

490
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 3: who are in our company, don't know we are what

491
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: we're about.

492
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: At the time.

493
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're professionals, but it was really I

494
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: felt so afterwards, I was like, wait, I never introduced myself.

495
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: Oh, she was on it, but yeah, she was also one.

496
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: But I will say also just to put in there

497
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: because I feel like there's so many in Christina does

498
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: an amazing job in connecting when I say, hey, this

499
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: person from this TikTok, I want her on here. And

500
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: we had several people. Evan the bioethicist came on and

501
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: they were phenomenal.

502
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: We had what I know.

503
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: Is black Belt News. She just had a baby, congratulations.

504
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: Not that she listens, but she was still reporting on

505
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: everything that is happening in the world. Having her on

506
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: like having these people come on realizing that we featured

507
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: them on. Activists around the world. We've had at least

508
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: two to three people coming on to that. That's some

509
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: of my favorite thing is Kaitlin Blenny was really fun,

510
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: I will say, and I want her to back on

511
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: for her book when she does releases.

512
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: Yes, there's so many.

513
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: I think interviews are some of my most favorite, but

514
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 3: also some of the most stressful.

515
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and wanted to make sure we love Yeah.

516
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: We want to make sure they feel welcomed and that

517
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: they know that we are fans or we are really

518
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: proud of what they are doing and want to enhance

519
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: that and we do. We vet pretty well. I think

520
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: the people who come on here. Sometimes we have people

521
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: on that that we might not be too sure about

522
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 3: because we got asked for them to come on, and

523
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: we try to do our due diligence with helping that.

524
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: But most of the time, but yeah, we do try

525
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: to bring on people that we are so excited to

526
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: having these conversations to like getting more educated about the

527
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: things that we don't know more things that we want

528
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: to know about.

529
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 4: And I it just brings.

530
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: Me so much shoy after leaving, especially a great conversation

531
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: like EG and Carol, or like Michelle Norris, or like

532
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: Kaitlyn Blenny, when you feel like you've actually got to

533
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: know them, there's this level of like friends. I feel

534
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: so good, like the world is better.

535
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is really nice. We've had really great

536
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it luck, but we've had it.

537
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: We've we've been fortunate, Yes, the interviews we've been able

538
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: to have.

539
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: It's true.

540
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: I think this year has been in a wonderful year,

541
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: kind of stressful content. I don't know what's going to

542
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: come up for the rest of twenty twenty six. As

543
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: we've just started SLASH, I say this past. Self is

544
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: saying this, hoping for all good things, more good interviews,

545
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: more good fucks, more good movies. I've already got a

546
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: list of things that you have not watched from the

547
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: past that I feel like we need to put in here.

548
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, I'm down.

549
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I get I'm like, you've never seen this,

550
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: We must watch.

551
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: That with the clue. Oh yeah, that was another fun

552
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: when we did this year.

553
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, last year, last year five. Yeah, no, I'm excited.

554
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: I always love seeing a movie that i've heard a missed. Yeah, yeah, yeaheah.

555
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: I also loved Clueless, which I don't know if we

556
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: did that this year, but twenty twenty five.

557
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 4: I don't think we did that this year.

558
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: I will say the Unicorn, which was one that I

559
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: had never seen the last Unicorns, I mean unique, a

560
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 3: unique experience.

561
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: I appreciated that. I did.

562
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: I love that movie.

563
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: I knew it was a strange one too, but you

564
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: also knew I had that outlined for.

565
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: Years, two years.

566
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 4: It's true.

567
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: It's just waiting because I was like, it was a

568
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: feminist movie.

569
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:45,600
