36
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: we've done an experienced in, but we can also reflect on,

37
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: like personally, what we've done and been through since two

38
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: thousand ten. Yes, girl, But before we get to that,

39
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: we want to do a quick little recap. It has

40
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: been a hot minute since we've recorded a live episode

41
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: for y'all, and we've done so much since our last

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: episodes that have been released, if you haven't tuned into

43
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: our live Wing Conversation or live conversation with Sizzle and

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Norms fromon at the Wing, to a into that on

45
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: whatever streaming platform you choose. Um. But we also had

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: our Look at That Alive a podcast party, yes, that

47
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: went off recently at the Paramount and Boil Hids. And

48
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: if you don't know about the Paramount, it's a very

49
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: historic music venue and boil Hids like Stevie Wonder performed

50
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: there back in the day, like everybody everybody, And if

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: you walk in, you know, the main entrance, they have

52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: lining the walls black and white photos of some of

53
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the greatest like artists ever you know who made their

54
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: way and passed through the Paramount on their way, you know,

55
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and performed. And it was funny because I think that

56
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: the venue has been closed for some time and they

57
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: just reopened this year. So we were like really lucky

58
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to be able to have our event there because the

59
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: space is beautiful, it's brand new, it's historic. Yeah, and

60
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're already booked like they have lots

61
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: of events and lots of programming, but I can already

62
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: foresee that it's going to be hard to have an

63
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: event there in the future because they're going to be

64
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: still booked. Um. And it's such a beautiful space. If

65

177
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: We wanted to just spend this episode just having fun

178
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and just enjoying ourselves and talking about nineteen in review,

179
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: what we've been up to since two thousand ten, even personally,

180
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: because before the podcast we had lives, we had lives

181
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: with our government names. We don't have lives anymore. We don't,

182
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: but we're going to reminisce on the lives that were

183
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: join us. So we were thinking, like we asked ourselves, Okay, mama,

184
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: what were you doing in like at the beginning of

185
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: the decade. And so, MoMA, what were you doing at

186
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of the decade? And wow, I graduated from

187
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: high school in two thousand ten. So I was being

188
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: a hot mess in high school and then packing myself

189
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: up so I could be a hot mess in Massachusetts.

190
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: And I started college in So I moved myself UM

191
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: to Tufts and I moved into the dorms and and

192
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: then everything began. And then all the debauchery, all the insanity,

193
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: all the wild times, made new friends, UM, traveled, studied abroad,

194
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: learned some things, UM, made messes, lost my virginity, caught

195
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: some bodies, you know. I had some internships, grew academically,

196
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: but also just kind of. I had lots of adventuresn't

197
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: many good times, many many good times, many occasions where

198
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I should have been dead after UM. But it's true,

199
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: I've just done. I've just been in so many situations

200
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: which I've had so many experiences. I look back and

201
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, bitch, what the funk? Where you do? Wing?

202
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: What were you thinking? But I'm alive and it's all good.

203
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I lived to tell all the tales, the ones I

204
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: can remember. So and here we are and now it's

205
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: about and how about you? Where were you in two? Okay?

206
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: So the first thing that comes to mind is that

207
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: in I was a hot mess in high school because

208
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: I had just come out to my parents and so

209
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: I remember being the absolute worst year because my parents

210
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: just they had a really hard time with it. Um,

211
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: and I like, I'm pretty sure I've shared this story

212
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: already on the podcast, like on an earlier episode, but

213
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: just to recap to the trauma remind to the new listeners. Um, So,

214
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: my mom went through my phone and that's how that's

215
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: how she came to the conclusion that I had a

216
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: girlfriend that was my friend, that would come over and

217
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: would sleep over. And I mean she was my friend,

218
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, she was my best friend, and that's like

219
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: we were best friends and then we started dating, right,

220
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: lovers and friends. It's a it's a thing. And so

221
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: she saw she read some text messages and that is

222
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: how she found out. So I wasn't. I wasn't ready

223
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: to be out, you know, I wasn't ready to have

224
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: that conversation, but I was forced into it. So that's

225
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: like what I can think of when I think back

226
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: on and then in I graduated and then moved away.

227
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Um too, I went to U see Santa Barbara, and

228
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: then same like, I wasn't really a party girl though,

229
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: even though I did go to Santa Barbara, which has

230
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: that fama of being a party school, Definitely, I definitely wasn't.

231
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't a party girl. I would say my senior

232
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: year once I turned twenty one is when she got wild,

233
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Like I was the same thing, hot mess, Like what

234
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: what was I doing out? I was out and about

235
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: in the worst ways, you know. I looked back and

236
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck, yeahs trauma bonding with everybody. Yeah, we're

237
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: not talking about that. We'll leave that where it needs

238
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: to stay. Yes, so we're not doing that and on.

239
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: But I also like, same as you, I studied abroad.

240
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: I lived in Bedou for six months and that was

241
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: an amazing experience and it's been I haven't been to

242
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Bedu since, which is when I studied abroad and So

243
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm currently like in the midst of trying to plan

244
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: a trip in because I haven't been back. I want

245
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: to see my family that are there. I want to

246
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: do some new traveling. I want to do some you know,

247
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: there were some things that I left, that left that

248
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: I left unfinished in Bedu, and I want to go

249
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: back and you know, heal some things that I need

250
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: to heal and like do those kinds of things. So

251
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited for this new decade. You know, I think

252
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: I saw like, um many versions of myself this past decade,

253
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, like being a hot mess, being lost, being confused,

254
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: being in bad relationships, being the bad person in the relationship,

255
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, all those kinds of things. So, um, I

256
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: guess in some I'm thankful for therapy and that I entered,

257
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: that I did, that I started that in. So I

258
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: feel like I'm ready to leave the decade and like

259
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: did some you know, something's happened, but I'm ready to

260
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: leave that behind and like all that Absolutely that's a

261
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. You know. Like I think, just like every

262
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: New Year's there's this question that comes around what are

263
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: we taking with us and what are we leaving behind?

264
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: And um, I think therapy is a great thing to

265
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: take that will definitely stay with me. Yeah, you know,

266
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: my therapist is the only white woman I've ever loved

267
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: saying something. Yeah, she asked me, Um, a couple of

268
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, she like, we had this very honest conversation

269
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Asian as to why I didn't pick a Latina therapist.

270
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: And I was telling her like, you know, at the time, Um,

271
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't seeing Latina therapist, like I went even like

272
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: on an open path where the directory that I was

273
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: able to find her on I didn't. I wasn't seeing

274
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: any Latino therapist and not in my area. And my

275
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: therapist has bright colored hair, like literally like dyed orange.

276
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: So when I saw her picture, I was like, this

277
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Oneman is questionably queer. Like for me, that was like

278
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: a queer flag, like seeing this really bright hair. So

279
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, she's a white woman. However she's

280
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: questionably queer to me, and her scope of you know,

281
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: study and what she works on matched with me and

282
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: what I needed. So and that's what matters. That's that's

283
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: what's most important, right, Yes, So in conclusion, I'm ready

284
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: for a new decade. Yeah, I feel like this new Year's.

285
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: I don't know this, you know, impending New Year's. I

286
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: just feel more grown than I've ever felt. I feel

287
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: more adult than I've ever felt. And I also noticed

288
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: that I'm like way less here for the bullshit. Who

289
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: has the energy? No nobody, And I'm grateful to be

290
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: entering another New Year's single girl, super single, but in

291
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: like the best way. I have no regrets. It's like

292
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I feel, I feel good. You've also been like intentionally single.

293
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: Hell yet you know because you're not like keep it

294
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: away from me. Yeah you're not. Because there are folks

295
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: that are like single but dating and looking and out there,

296
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: and then there are folks that are like, I'm comfortable,

297
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the single and I'm not necessarily looking absolutely,

298
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not necessarily looking. I'm not looking. I am

299
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: not looking. That doesn't mean I haven't caught several bodies,

300
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: because even just in the past two weeks, I mean

301
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: we we do well. I've done very well for myself,

302
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: which is also why I'm not like yearning, because I

303
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: have no needs. You know, all my needs get met

304
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: and um, I have a dog, so I have a companion,

305
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I'm chilling, and like,

306
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: it's not hard to, you know, find people to hook

307
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: up with. I have found, you know. I'm not on

308
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: the apps though the apps are trash, but I'm gonna

309
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: get on that app. It's so funny because I have

310
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: never been on the apps, but I've gotten my boss

311
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: on the apps. Oh yeah. Like, I like sat there

312
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: with her and created a Coffee Meats Bagel app, and

313
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: I like was helping her ride her bio and pick

314
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: her photos and do all of that. And she's like

315
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: asking me about apps, and I'm like, I don't know,

316
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: but I know that my friends have had success on

317
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Coffee Meats Bagel. Yes, I have heard good things about

318
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Coffee Meats Bagel. I tried coffee Meats Bagel. But the beans,

319
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: the coffee beans, what are the beans? So on coffee

320
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Meets Bagel, you're only allowed to like swipe so many

321
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: times in one day, and you have an allowance of

322
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: Hoffee beans and once you use them up, you have

323
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: to wait until refill your beans, and then if you

324
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: pay a certain amount of money, then they upgrade you

325
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: to a new level of beans. It was a little

326
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: too much for me because I'm like, I want to

327
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: just I want to swipe and swipe and swipe and swipe,

328
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: but it forces you to limit your daily intakes. Sense does.

329
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: So she calls them her bagels. She's like, oh, I

330
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: have I literally have you know, I'm having dinner with

331
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: my bagel. I them going out with my bagels. She

332
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: called them her bagels, and it's so funny. I know,

333
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: yeah I did that. I have a question. Are those

334
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: considered billable hours for you? You You know what? We do

335
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: them on the job. So yes, yes, you're technically a matchmaker.

336
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: That's to my bio right now. You get paid to

337
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: help people find love. I'm thinking of trying like a

338
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: speed dating situation. What happened to that one that I

339
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080

340
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: uh Juliana with me because I'm down. So for context,

341
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: there was this I have to find it and tell you.

342
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: It's called like honey speed dating, So we'll tell you

343
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: about it in the future. That goes. But there is

344
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,359

346
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: and it's like a speed dating and I think it

347
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,679

351
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: because I want to try different types of dating, um

352

00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: about sex. It much fun, you know. I think the

458
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: overall reception was good. There were some comments that were interesting,

459
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: and I can't remember if we talked about that on here,

460
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't remember either, but we can

461
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: talk about it now. I mean, we talked about, um,

462
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: how your body count doesn't diminish your value as a person.

463
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: People didn't. Some people didn't like that. We know, I

464
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: think the most people were really upset about the Catholic comments.

465
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: We referred to ourselves as recovering Catholic because we are

466
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: we are. Some people find that really funny and some

467
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: people find it really offensive. Apparently. I'm like, nobody said

468
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: for you to not be a Catholic go to church

469
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: to MESA. I don't care. Whatever. We're not saying don't

470
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: go to church. We're just saying we're not doing that anymore.

471
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: Like and It's like we are literally experts. Like I

472
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: studied scripture. I had a scripture class the Bible. I mean,

473
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: I can quote it back at you. We went to

474
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Catholic schools. We get it. We know the whole deal.

475
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: I still go to church once in a while, but

476
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: only if my mom and I go to brunch afterwards. Right,

477
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: that's like the caveat. That's the caveat. I'm like, if

478
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: we go to the seafood brunch after yes, I will

479
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: attend Mass. Yes, I will even genuflect for the non Catholics.

480
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: Look it up. Um, what else did we do? We

481
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: were Tecla Award nominees. We were nominated in the Breakout

482
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Creators of the Year category. We did not take the award,

483
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: but it was exciting to be nominated. Some say we

484
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: were snubbed, Some some us, but some one could say

485
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: we were. We have heard other people say that, but

486
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: we are not saying that. I'm just I'm just reporting

487
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: back what I've heard. Right, I'm going to edit this.

488
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: Don't edit it out, and don't edit this out either.

489
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: We didn't win, but it was chilled out. It was chill.

490
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: It was chill. It was a really hard category y'all

491
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: like competitive. It was competitive, as you know. We were

492
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: just greatful. I'll be there on or to blah blah.

493
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: But you know what, here's the here's the thing. Here's

494
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: the thing. If you look at the scope of who

495
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: was nominated, to my knowledge, very few of them or

496
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: indie creators. They were either full time doing it. Um

497
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: have like are with a network or or a station,

498
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: have a corporate spot like all that kind of stuff

499
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: that we don't have. So for that reason alone, it's

500
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: amazing that we were nominated and then we were recognized

501
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: because we really are indie creators. We are still working

502
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: our jobs, y'all. It's the worst. It's honestly the worst.

503
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: We're burnt out, like we're ready to be done. I'm

504
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: like one ft one ft. It's hard, I am. It's

505
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: just a lot of work to do everything. Yeah, it's

506
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: just not physically, emotionally or mentally possible at this point

507
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: to just do it. It's not sustainable. No, it's not cute,

508
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: like the working until you like die, you know. It's

509
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: just like being overbooked is not cute. We need rest, mom,

510
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: and I likely like to lounge. We like to lounge

511
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 1: way too much. For this current lifestyle to to to

512
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: maintain for much longer. So basically, um are O G.

513
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Listeners are O G. Look on what is have heard

514
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: us complaining about our jobs for three years, and we're

515
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: manifesting that we will be full time podcasters, Like we're

516
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: meant like it's we are taking the steps, We're making

517
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: it happen. We're doing a lot of the groundwork right now. Yeah,

518
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: we've been doing it. We've been doing it, but I

519
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: think especially like in the past couple of months, like

520
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is trite, but like putting our ducks

521
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: in a row, lining that up so that when we

522
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: do take that final or that initial leap into full time,

523
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: that we're not like scrambling and trying to pay our bills.

524
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, we want to make sure we have a

525
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: cushion to land on. Absolutely when we have no more income,

526
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: we will have income, just not the same kind of

527
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: the same kind of income, an income of our own making.

528
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it's also like inspiring to see folks

529
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: that have left their jobs and to see them talk

530
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: about like publicly, like tweet things or post on Instagram,

531
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: like I doubled my income. I doubled my annual salary

532
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: by like working for myself and like going full time.

533
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, and I believe that it can happen. It

534
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 1: really kind of happened. Can because we can actually accept

535
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: jobs that we have to turn down, turn down or

536
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: maybe not consider or not ask for because we know

537
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: we have to go to work on Monday. You know

538
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: that forty hours or more that the full time, because

539
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: it ends up being more than forty hours in many ways,

540
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: that is all time that we could be dedicating to

541
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: building our own business. And time really is like gold.

542
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: There's like nothing more important of the essence. It is

543
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: of the essence. So we're crossing our te s doutting

544

Speaker 1: want to quote Hispanic millennial market, and that's why, you know,

553
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: So if it, if it feels right, of course, we'll

Speaker 1: to the next level, because nobody does it alone. Anybody

560
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: you see out there who's really like working in media,

561
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: especially as personalities or on camera on air, they probably

562
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: have they definitely have some type of a team behind

563
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: them to help them elevate and get jobs and get

564
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: into the room. So that could be management or agents

565
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: or publicists or what have you. And so you know,

566
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: we've been working with management UM and we're looking like

567
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: who were the publicists out there? Who are the agents

568
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: out there? Because all that stuff ends up mattering, and

569
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: we've been doing it. We've been doing it by ourselves,

570
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: like all of it, all of it. You know. We

571
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: have our video photo team, we have um you know,

00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: our homegirl, our digital media intern who helps us with

573
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: the Instagram visuals. We have our friends and family that

574
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: like volunteer at our events, you know, kind of like

575
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: our crew. But when we talk about the social media management,

576
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: the content creation, the reach out, the pitching, the negotiating,

577
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff. We do all of it. So you know,

578

580
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: I agree? I agree. Another just to finish up our review.

581
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: Another really cool thing that we did was we presented

582
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: at work It when the podcast festival that was here

583
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: in l A. So fun, and we did a lightning

584
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: talk on podcast parties, podcast parties and pop ups community building. Yes,

585
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: podcasting is like a vehicle for community building, which I

586
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: think is something that we've really nailed, to be honest

587
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: with you. So that was a lot of fun. And

588
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if there were a whole lot of

589
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: a like Indie l A based podcasts that presented at

590
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: work It. I don't think there were no, not at

591
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: least not the talks that I went to. I think

592
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks similarly at work It are

593
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: with networks and studios and you know, they're in it,

594
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: and so work It sent an email and we were well,

595
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: they did a survey and they asked like attendees to

596
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: fill it out and also presenters, and then they sent

597
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: out an email and ours was listed as one of

598
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: the highlights of the festival. Yeah, so I hope people

599
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: like excellence. Yeah, I hope that whoever was there, like

600
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, walked away with something and well clearly they did. Yeah.

601
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: And we like to have fun at our talks and workshops,

602
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: like we try not to make things too serious, like

603
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: we like to have a good time. And so again

604
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: if you would like to invite us to your school

605
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: or organizing things at radio dot com exactly. And finally,

606
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: another big highlight speaking of network, because we hosted a

607
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: mini series with Crooked Media and Are. The name of

Speaker 1: the what September, October? We did the October so I

625
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: check us us. Yes, it was a good time. It

626
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: was a good time, and it was yeah, I mean

627
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: a different format for us, you know than like how

628
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: we host our yeah podcasts. And that was our first

629
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: time working with a professional podcast network, Cricket and so

630
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: they had, you know, their studio space and we went

631
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: to Hollywood and they had their producer and their sound

632
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: engineer and the seven the other So it was cool.

633
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: It was cool and it was funny because it was

634
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: the first time where we were you know, of course

635
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: we were talent and writers, but we were just that

636
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: like we weren't the sound engineers. We weren't working the board,

637
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: you weren't doing any editing, and it almost was like

638
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: a test in relinquishing control truly, because we really had

639
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: no final say in how things were edited and everything

640
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: turned out amazing. But it definitely like we are perfectionists.

641
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: Even though we're hot messes, sometimes we really are perfectionist

642
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to our craft. And so we we

643
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: really had to let go and that was okay, and

644
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: that was okay. And what was interesting too is like,

645
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're used to hearing our own flow and

646
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: how we record, and then THEOSA has you know, her

647
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: own ear when she edits and stuff, so then to

648
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: listen to do the recording, to know what we said,

649
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: and then to hear the way it was put together later.

650
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, I caught myself and we talked about this together,

651
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: like thinking, oh I would have done that differently, or

652
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: I don't like how that was actually edited. So it's

653
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: cool because it kind of gave us some insight into

654
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: like what we put out is on par with what

655
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: professional networks are capable of putting out and editing, you know,

656
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: and we can still have notes for the professional network

657
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: when we hear it. Yeah, exactly, So we're pros. We

658
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: know what we're doing, we know what we're talking about.

659
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Do we do know what we're talking? Yeah? We do

660
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: know what we're doing. We really were podcaster podcaster. We're nerds, y'all,

661
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: are nerdy? I like it, It's fine. Yeah. We actually

662
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: just bought because we've been getting so much, We actually

663
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: just bought some equipment so we have like our own

664
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: mix now so we can record when we travel. We

665
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: got Mollo headphones. Um, we donated a boomstand. So that's

666
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: what the mic goes on to Espassio. You know, we

667
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: want to give back to the folks that give so

668
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: much to us and my nine shout out for being

Speaker 1: challenges Wins? Well, I just feel like my big big

675
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: move and my big big thing was like leaving my

676
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: job last year and getting a new job from and

677
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen has really just been about, like, I don't know,

678
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: I think I've settled into my actual life at this

679
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: point with my my apartment and my dog and the

680
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: podcast and friends and just being super single. I realized

681
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: that for the past two years, I've gone on like

682
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,959
Speaker 1: one date per year, my annual date. And then I'm like, oh, yeah,

683
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: this is why I don't do this ship. This is horrible.

684
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: But like I said, I've caught several bodies like I've

685
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: done very well this year. Um, so that's been fun.

686
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is because I kept feeling like

687
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting any action in these streets. But then

688
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: I did a review no that I was talking to

689
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: you one day and I was describing all these people

690
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: I hooked up with and You're like who and who

691
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: and you were like, oh my god. I'm like, wait,

692
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: that's true. Okay, I don't think I said you did.

693
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: Did I I'm like, wait, that's true. Go me, go me.

694
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: So it's been a good year. I've done some fun stuff.

695
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: Damn girl. And how about you? In review interview hope

696
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: show again, I'm consistent. I'm consistent, yes, girl, I know

697
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: yourself was a mix. I think like there were so

698
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: many wins, so many like great things that happened. There

699
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: were a lot of challenges, I would say, like big challenges,

700
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: Like I had a lot of stuff happening, like family wise, Oh,

701
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: my god, I didn't even think about family. You've got

702
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of family stuff too, That's not I buried

703
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: that for a reason. Back to you, Back to you.

704
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: I had a lot of family stuff that I just

705
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: cannot share. Maybe one day in the memoir or just

706
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: eventually on the podcast, but now is not the time. Um.

707
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: And then I think one big thing that I think

708
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: really shook me and I had dealt dealt with the

709
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: consequences for months, was I got into a really bad

710
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: car accident and I'm fine, but it was one of

711
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: those things where people could have died, and I was

712
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: amazed to see people get up out of their car

713
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: and like walk out like it was that scary and

714
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: I was fine. My car had been like minimal damage,

715
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: and it was just like dealing with all like the

716
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: insurance red tape and that was really stressful, but like

717
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: all in all, like the fact that nobody died is

718
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: like the biggest blessing I think of because it was

719
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: so scary, Like I've never felt that kind of fear before,

720
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: where like I just saw a car flip and just

721
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: children were inside and it was scary, like scary. So

722
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: I think like that was one of my biggest challenges

723
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: of is just like dealing with all of that. It

724
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: like it really forced me to be um, it really

725
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: forced me to fight for myself because I'm an avoider.

726
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm an avoider, I will avoid my drama, i

727
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: will avoid my problems, and I will just like really

728
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: just like bury it beneath the surface. And so in

729
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: all aspects I think of like either like financially, family wise,

730
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, like a car accident wise, relationship wise, personal wise,

731
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: like I just learned to like confront things head on

732
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: and really just go through the fire and then come

733
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: out on the other side of it. So I think

734
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: like for me, like yes, challenge, but also like perspective,

735
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: like I learned to fight in a different way, so

736
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: that would be I guess a mixed win and you

737
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: know challenge that I had. Absolutely I remember you texting

738
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: me after that car accident. That's very scary, man, just

739
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: and being in l a. Car accidents are such like

740
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: a thing, but it's so da volatile, so dangerous. It's

741
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: so dangerous. And I think, like, so my mom and

742
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: I had a bad year like car a wise, like

743
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: my mom got into two car accidents recently, and like

744
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: same thing was really shaken up. She needs a new car,

745
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: like her car was basically totaled. So it's just like

746
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: those are things that just like shake you at your

747
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: core and you just have to deal with them, like

748
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: you really can't not deal with them. And especially in

749
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: l a like if you're without a car, like it's

750
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: hard to get around your whole disruptive like wrench throne exactly,

751
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's really hard. So you know, we're making

752
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: money moves now, we really are. We really are. We're working,

753
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: we're working on it. We're like we're taking all the steps.

754
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for, Like I've just that's my intention job,

755
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: quitting the job, doing this full time, Like it only

756
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: works if we both do it, so we like I

757
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: have to believe in each other, have to leave in

758
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: our self, have to believe in this project, and I

760
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: for and like everything that's going to come our way,

761
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: because you know, exhausted is not the look, no, And

762
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: I was talking to my parents about this too, because

763
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, of course it's always scary to quit your

764
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: job and not have the benefits and not have the

765
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: monthly you know, income like guaranteed in the same way.

766
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: But I also realized that I had two like bigger unions.

767
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: I had my five year college reunion and then you know,

768
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: this month, I have my ten year high school re union.

769
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: And I'm like, damn, well, in the time that I've

770
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: graduated from school and been on my own, like, what

771
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: have I done with my education and with the degree?

772
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've done what I want to

773
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: do professionally or what I would hope to do professionally

774
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: as far as the degree, and right now, being in

775
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: my late twenties, not being married, not having kids, like

776
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: being out of school, having work experience, I'm like, this

777
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: is the time to take that leap that people always

778
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: talk about, like it's now or never, And the longer

779
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: we wait, the more difficult it will be to take

780
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: the leap, Like, we gotta do it now, do it now.

781
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: And we're in a place that we can. Yes, we're

782
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: not with children, we're not married, no mortgages, no mortgages. Yeah,

783
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: like this is the ticket. We have to do it now,

784
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: we have to do it. Yeah, damn now, we really

785
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: got to do it now. We gotta do it because

786
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: we called yall ship because is how we don't tell

787
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: we really got to do it, and you'll have to

788
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: hold this accountable. Yes, y'all send You said you were

789
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: going to quit your jobs, and I see you're still

790
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: gainfully employed. But the fun is that it's the worst.

791
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: You know. I have ppo insurance and that's like the

792
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: best insurance truly, truly, and I don't have to pay

793
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: for it. Ah, my company pays for my insurance. I'm

794
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: like classified as an executive employee. We just gotta be

795
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: as careful as possible. Right, let me not run into anything. No,

796
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm making all my dentist appointments all making up. I

797
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: already started making my appointments for January. Have to lined up. Yeah. No,

798
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm definitely like in the same headspace because while we

799
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: have the insurance, we've got to use it. I know.

800
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: I even had the conversation with my partner, can you

801
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: put me on your insurance plan? Like we're not married,

802
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: but in California you can do domestic partners, So I'm like,

803
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: please put me on your plan. Please. That's an idea. Yeah,

804
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what happens. We're young enough venom

805
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: help us pay for our insurance. God, you know what,

806
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm also hoping, Like I don't know. Part of me

807
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: is so pessimistic with the current state of the country,

808
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: but part of me is hoping that we actually elect

809
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: a president that will provide us with quality health insurance

810
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: so that this doesn't have to be a worry honestly,

811
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: because it really is and it really like that's what

812
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: capitalism does. It forces you to stay at a job

813
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: that you hate or that you're not going to grow

814
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: at anymore for your health insurance. It's probably not even

815
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: that good anyway, that's going to cost you money anyway, exactly. Yeah,

816
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: it's a hot ass mess. Right. We all talk about

817
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: politics next year, you'all. We really will. I mean, I

818
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: don't even want to talk about the election like it's

819
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: relevant right now, Like but I don't even want to

820
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: go there. All I'm saying is justice for Julian, who

821
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: is not getting and that's because people keep asking me

822
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: what my who my candidate is candidate is And mine

823
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: is Julian Castro for sure, and not because he's Latino,

824
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't think you should be voting based on

825
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: identity politics, but he really is like speaking to the people,

826
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: he's like talking about under service, underrepresented communities. He's talking

827
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: about poverty in ways that none of the other candidates are.

828
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, I went to the border and like a

829
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: non I felt in a way that was genuine and

830
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: didn't feel super like photo oppy. And he spoke to

831
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: asylum seekers who are like in Limbo, who are just

832
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: trying to survive on the Mexico side of the border.

833
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that from him. I appreciate and you

834
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: know what, We've had presidents and candidates from Texas and

835
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: people love that when they're white, and he's from Texas,

836
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that Southwestern experience, but from a person

837
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: of color, I think it's really important. And he you

838
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: know the fact that he hasn't been on the debate

839
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: stages when he has so much to say. His last

840
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: I think the last time he was on the debate stage,

841
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, is when the whole Biden that

842
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: I think was attacking Biden when he, in my opinion,

843
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: was not he was calling a fact and it was

844
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: so like angering to me, enraging to me to see

845
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: the way they were, you know, doing the like angry

846
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: Latino trope and like making it seem like he was

847
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: being like super volatile, and he was like being so

848
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: levelheaded and just like calm even in the follow up interviews.

849
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: And so that was really frustrating to see because I

850
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: don't think that he will get the general vote, you know,

851
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be our Democratic primary. Um here's

852
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: wishful thinking, though, but I mean, I don't think the

853
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: country is ready for a Latino president post Trump, Like

854
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know, I don't know. I

855
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: don't know if if they're going to let and I'm

856
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: just going to use the word I'm just gonna say

857
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: diverse candidate as a catch all for everyone who's not

858
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: a white man. But I don't see American voters or

859
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: the electoral College allowing for another diverse at it anytime soon,

860
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: whether that be a woman, whether that be a person

861
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: of color or whatever, of whatever gender. I don't see it.

862
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: I just feel like the post Obama, like white supremacist

863
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: backlash was so strong, is so strong and has so

864
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: much momentum. That's again to be a pessimist, fine, but

865
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: I just have that sense and that feeling, and a

866
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: lot of folks analyzing the situation feel the same way.

867
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: It's really hard not to feel pessimistic. And I know

868
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: that like hope is revolutionary and that hope is like radical,

869
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's like if you're not maintaining hope, then like

870
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: what are you doing this work for? Like I feel

871
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: that right now, in this current state, I do feel

872
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: very pessimistic, and I want to feel hopeful and I hope,

873
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, I hope that that changes. But it's hard.

874
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: But it is hard. So will I go and vote? Yeah,

875
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: but I mean more horror options going to be? You

876
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: do think it's going to be Biden? I don't. I

877
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: don't know, because you know, like Bernie had a hard

878
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: time last election getting on the final ballot, right, I

879
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know if people have it for Bernie. I think

880
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 1: people might have it for Biden. But I just feel

881
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: like the American voters are so unpredictable. It's impossible to

882
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: really call it. I think it really is. Yeah, I

883
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: really don't know. We'll see. I guess you know more

884
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: about that. But we really do try to stay out

885
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: of the not out of politics, but out of the

886
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: news cycle. UM content podcast wise, yeah, because you can

887
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: get that elsewhere. There's so many other latin X great

888
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: Latex podcasts that do that, So we try to, you know,

889
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: stay away from that because you can get it elsewhere,

890
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: and the election is all over every news outlet. I

891
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: personally see my mom is a type of person that

892
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: has the news cycle on constantly. So I get overwhelmed

893
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: by it. So I need a break from it. So

894
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it on the podcast,

895
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,919
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like, if you need a break

896
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: from it, tune into local radio. That's how I feel, honestly.

897
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: There are other things going on in the world that matter.

898
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: We could talk politics. Let's talk about Nouri Martinez. Yeah,

899
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: Nourri Martinez was elected New City Council president, and she's

900
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: the first Latina ever to be president. And it's a

901
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: really big deal, y'all. Nouri Martinez was actually we interviewed

902
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: her in the in the early season, in the early

903
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: part of season three back in January February. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

904
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, and she reps the San Fernando Valley and

905
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: has been a lot of amazing workaround women's issues, around trafficking, um,

906
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, resources for communities of color, the Valley Pride

907
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: that she puts together, the Valley does gets like a

908
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of hate or is not included some of the

909
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: hated it comes from us, it comes, it comes. It's

910
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: directed our ex boyfriends, not Valley residents, specifically to specifically

911
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: the ex boyfriends, not the constitut chouance of the san

912
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: To be clear, to be clear, we haven't done our

913
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: value jokes in a while. We haven't an we haven't

914
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: needed to. We haven't needed to. They're not They're not

915
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: in our lives at all anymore in a good way.

916
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: That's a good thing, very very good, very positive. But yeah,

917
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: so um, that's local politics that we can talk about. Yes,

918
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: we can also critique Marie Martinez. Her record is on

919
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: spot list. There's also plenty we can say about her

920
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: history with street ending, this, that and the other. Acknowledge, Yes,

921
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: don't come for us, don't come, don't come for us,

922
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: don't we a nuanced but it is. It is a

923
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: fact that she was elected city council president. That's a fact.

924
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: And she's the first Latina. It's just literally and that's

925
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: important because hello, like the residents of l A County

926
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: are like, you know, there's a big Latino latin X population,

927
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: So that says something that the first Latina is being elected. Truly.

928
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: I heard I read somewhere um that there are more

929
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: Latin Knows in l A County then they're all. Then

930
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: there are people in the state of Iowa. There are

931
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: so many of us. This is my thing. We know

932
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: that there's millions of people of color, of of of

933
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: all kinds of racial and ethnic backgrounds in the United States, millions,

934
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: millions Latinos alone, millions Asian folks, millions, Black folks, millions.

935
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: There are millions of people, and we continue to be

936
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: considered like niche or special interest, a minority. Not really

937
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 1: an addendum, an amendment. I think, I think less and less.

938
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: But when we still think about American politics or what

939
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: we consider American history, or like what is considered the

940
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: people and the majority in the mainstream, there's this sense

941
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: that it's a white majority when it's not. Not. Well,

942
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: my not really is that the fact that people are

943
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: now specifically corporations are now investing and putting in their

944
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: dollars to the Latino market because they see are buying power.

945
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: They really didn't one point three trillion, and our money

946
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: does not stay in the Latin X market like in

947
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: within our Latin X businesses and communities. So just something

948
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: to keep in mind when you see like these really

949
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: big corporations trying to get our dollars, because they're working

950
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: on it. They're working hard. Yes, also shout out because

951

Speaker 1: she has been long listed for multiple awards, and so

957
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: when we when we interviewed her, she was talking about

958
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: her book not getting the attention that we deserved from

959
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,640

1020
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,880

1031
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: prices and the incentives it's gonna be. You know, I

1032
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: think we're also thinking about Instagram and the way that

1033
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: it's changed. You know, we've talked about shadow banning before,

1034
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: and we continue to see our content not being pushed

1035
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: down or not being engaged with in the same way

1036
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: that it used to be UM. And then at the

1037
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: same time, our followership is increasing, so it just doesn't

1038
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: add up. It's weird. It's really weird. So because of that,

1039
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: we are going to be paying extra attention to Patreon

1040
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: because that is really where we will be able to

1041
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: own our content, put it on there, engage with y'all

1042
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: in organic ways UM in ways that we can't do

1043
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: with the Instagram anymore. Right, And if you're really into podcasting,

1044
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: you know that there are some podcasts that are only

1045
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: available on Patreon behind a paywall, so we're not doing

1046
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: that with Look I thought out. It's the episode that

1047
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: cuts will still be available free to listen and download

1048
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: on Apple Podcasts. On Spotify, audio Boom, SoundCloud. But if

1049
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: you would like to keep up with all these other

1050
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: incentives and listen add free. The Patreon is a great place.

1051
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: And we say this all the time, But if you're

1052
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: a content creator, um, and your primary method of reaching

1053
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: your audience or displaying your work is on Instagram, just

1054
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: be aware that all platforms come to an end and

1055
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: that we don't own that ship. Other random ass white

1056
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: people own Instagram, so we don't own that stuff, and

1057
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: we don't own that piece of digital real estate. So

1058
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: it's also important to think about for yourself, if you're

1059
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: a constent creator, where else is your workhouse? Where is

1060
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,440
