1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stefan

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: never told you a protection of iHeartRadio, and today we

3
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to have a quick update on entertainment we're

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: enjoying because there's a lot of moving pieces where you

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: have a book coming out. If you haven't heard about it,

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: and it has caused both of us a lot of stress,

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: please enjoy it. But it has been a whole thing,

8
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: oh man. But I'm very excited for you to check

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: it out. But a part of that is sort of

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the stress relief of entertainment and what you look to

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: when you are having these moments. So we just wanted

12
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: to have a quick conversation about that. There are a

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: couple of things that have come out recently that I

14
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: know you all know I'm a fan of, So just

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: a check in a check in it I like it.

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: Which by the way, yeah, I have restricted Annie from

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: buying things because the things that she loves like there's

18
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: it's too easy for her to get the things that

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: she loves them like. But I might have bought it

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: for your birthday, so you're not allowed. Literally had a

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: like a band her from buying things.

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Do it again, Yeah, which was funny because I had

23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: just bought a bunch of stuff, but there was nothing

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: that was in your realm.

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: I don't like we were good because I didn't even

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: know about those sides. We're good, but everything else I

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: don't just stop now, just stop. But yeah, we wanted

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: to have a check in because you know, we haven't

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: talked about phone games. We haven't talked about cozy gaming

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: in a while, which I'm not doing a lot of.

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I've kind of backtracked on the cozy

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: gaming on the switch. You did tell me a few,

33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: and I did see one advertised because it was like

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: the Oxen Free too.

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: Oh I'm going to talk about that, but yes.

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I saw that. I'm like, maybe I need

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: to get that. Sounds like it could be up my alley.

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: But then you're saying all these things and I'm like,

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe not, because I've discovered I am

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: real lazy when it comes to these games, Like I

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: liked the Animal Crossing, but I don't want to actually

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: create the village, so it still looks pretty bare and

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: looks like an island without rodes, because I'm like, why

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: I just wanted to be an island with a few houses.

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: I don't understand the problem here. I've built up the

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: museum if people were wondering. And that's why I've been

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: sending you things because I'm like, here, I take these

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: fossils because they're just in my pocket now, and I

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of made my house to what it is. But

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: I keep being I'm told that I need to do more.

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, I've gotten a what's the next what's the

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: next bit? So I'm very being very lazy because i

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: haven't been on for a while. So if you looked

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: at my island, there's a lot of weeds that I

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: need to go take care of. Missed out on a

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: few festivals. They I have a lot of roaches in

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: my house.

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: Oh that's a thing I didn't know that.

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: Go back and find it, Annie, But I do. I

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: wanted some of some like easy easy gaming, like we

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: talked about coffee talk. I'm like, so, if y'all have

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: some suggestions where I could just barely do things, let

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: me know, yeah, because I am missing out on a

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: few things. The phone games. I'm still playing just like

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: a few games, but I've been doing less and less.

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: I've been playing the Love and Pies which I've told

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: you about before. And I will say with all the stuff,

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: all the games that I've played thus far have celebrated

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: like Pride Month, and it was nice to see and

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: had these little backstories and very cute. Okay, because I

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: told you about the couple in Love and Pies where

72
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: it's her uncle and his husband who have been together

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: for years and years and years, and they had the

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: whole like backstory of how they met and then like

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: creating things together. It was very cute. So really still

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: enjoying that one. Doing the still the June's Journey. I

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: do that every now and again, not as much anymore

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: because much like Animal Crossing, you have to build it up.

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: And I've made a mess of my town on island

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: and there's no way if I'm gonna change it. I'm like, guys,

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm done. Someone needs to tell me how to do this.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Like my good friend his island looks amazing, Like I'm like,

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: what he's got, resorts, he's got like all these things.

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: I'm not doing so well. I don't know what happenings

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: function for.

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I recently got to go

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to the beach and I played Animal Crossing, when I

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: was at the beach and my friend's very friendly mocked me,

89
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: made a lot of jokes, asked me a lot of

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: questions about my island and how it was going. But

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: my island, I don't surprise to anyone, is very star

92
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: wars need so you you should see, Samantha. Now, I

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: have a tattooine based flag and the song of my

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: island is the Imperial March.

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: Did you create that? Because you have to create that yourself.

96
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I looked it up. Somebody's done this for me already.

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I just need to look it up and someone had

98
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: done it for me.

99
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: Amazing.

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I need.

101
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: I haven't visited your island.

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: I need.

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: I need to do this soon.

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: It's actually like that's the two high points of it.

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: Did you get all your fruits? Because I try to

106
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: send you I have all my fruits.

107
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't. This is what I was worried it would

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: happen when I started playing it is now I'm a completionist,

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: so I'm just like I had to finish the museum.

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't take as long as you think. Oh you

111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: know what, I don't try and travel, so I've got

112
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: all of my fossils. I don't have all of my animals.

113
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: That's true.

114
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: That's that I didn't finish my museum. I'm a liar.

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: That's the finish forever.

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have to go. But eventually Harvey build

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: a whole island and you can go to see him

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: every day.

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: I did, but he doesn't change his art really only

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: on Mondays. This is embarrassing.

121
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that.

122
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: Yes, because I am a compoys.

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: Now this is fun. I'm glad you're more into it

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: than I am. Now, yeah, okay, if you do this,

125
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm I will say. I think on top of this.

126
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: The reason I have slowed downs because I've been way

127
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: too much on TikTok. I told you the other day

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: I was not going to get on it all day.

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: I did not.

130
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: I got on.

131
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I failed.

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: It's tough.

133
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: That's really hard. Automatic it is well now like if

134
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: you've noticed, there's a whole thing where the articles are

135
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: coming out. We talked about it before that people are

136
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: searching more on TikTok than they are on Google. And

137
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: I've done this and future plans. I planned to go

138
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: to New York for my birthday, and so I'm going

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: through scrolling through TikTok to find like best places to

140
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: eat because my trips revolve around food, food, and food only.

141
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't care about the sites. I don't care. I

142
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: just want all the good foods. So I'm searching like

143
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: different people. Of course, so now my feed is all

144
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: K pop, K Drama, New York. Oh and Cay skin Care.

145
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: They got me with that too. I'm like, what is

146
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: this stuff? A whole different story, but yeah, so I'm

147
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: very like caught up on TikTok. Also, if you live

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: in New York, which I think we have a pretty

149
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: chunk of a good chunk of listeners, give me your

150
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: recommendations about food or something that I can't miss. I'm

151
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: coming in September and I want to eat all the foods.

152
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: I've been there before. I've been a few times, but

153
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm coming in concentrating on food and not people because

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: usually when I go to New York, I just go

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: to hang out with people. Nope, this is for my birthday.

156
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: I want to go eat the foods and I guess,

157
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: see some things. You tell me what I need to do?

158
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: Yes, if we need to listen, that's what I'm up to.

159
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Okay, what about you?

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Well, you did mention one of my big ones. I

161
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: hesitated to bring it up because there is there strikes

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: going on and I didn't know this, but one of

163
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: my very favorite games, Oxen Tree, which I've mentioned before

164
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: the show. I've talked about before the show, was an

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: indie game, but it was bought by Netflix. But the

166
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: sequel came out a couple of weeks ago, and I

167
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: loved it, and I did recommend it to you. The

168
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: only thing is, and I told you this, it's kind

169
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: of for me, it's kind of stressful because you have

170
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: to make your Basically, you get like someone says something

171
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: to you, and you have to choose between like three

172
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: text bubbles really quickly, not really quickly, but quickly are

173
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: they fade. Nothing happens to you if they fade, other

174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: than you might not get like the ending you want

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: or something. You can't die in this game. But sometimes

176
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: I stress out because I'm watched the subject of this

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: meaning came in my head and it's it's a kind

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: of like Stranger Things. It's a very like eighties radio

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: signal creepy game, but it's very like text based and

180
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: kind of cute. Like the design is cute and fun

181
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: and I really enjoy it. I've already played it. I

182
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: played it on my steam deck, not a sponsor, but

183
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: it was really, really fun and I told you it.

184
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Also the ending, It's the first time in a long

185
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: long time that I've had an ending where I actually

186
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: like laid awake and I was like, well, what does

187
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: it all mean?

188
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: Then?

189
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: What is this? Just because everyone agreed on what the

190
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: good ending was and I was like.

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: Is that good?

192
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: What is reality?

193
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: What is reality?

194
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: It's sort of the heart of the question is what

195
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: is reality of that game? And also asks a lot

196
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: of interesting things about motherhood and I really like at

197
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: the end, like no spoilers, but there is kind of

198
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: this whole conversation about what it is to be a mother,

199
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: but also like that's not all you are, Like you're

200
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: more than just a mother, You're more than just all

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: of these things. And it was just it was a

202
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: really interesting conversation I'd love to come back to because

203
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: it was kind of like you've been thinking of her

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: in this one way, but here are all the facets

205
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: of her where she's a person outside of that. It's cool.

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: That was cool. We did go see Barbie separately, but

207
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 1: we did both go see it, and I want to

208
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about it more for sure, but I mostly what

209
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: I just want to mention here is that there was

210
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: a young boy sitting behind me and he cried in

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: fear at the kitts and I was like, you are right, kid,

212
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: you are correct, and that is.

213
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: The correct ones you're gonna be, Okay.

214
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I was like, honestly, I wasn't annoyed at all. I

215
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: was like, mm hmm, this is terrifying you, right, I'm

216
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: with you, kid, with you.

217
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: In my audience. So we went to a theater that

218
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: is independent, that's an independent theater and had to close

219
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: down and then got reopened wonderful and it is real old,

220
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: like I forgot how old. And I went in. I

221
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, yeah, you have to be was yeah, well,

222
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: you have to be in the back road to actually

223
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: appropriately see the screen the way it's like, there's no tilt,

224
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: it is all flat and it's just screen like literally

225
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: what you would think of the old school movie. I

226
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: was like, oh, there's no amenities to this at all

227
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: except for the people and the culture and you're giving

228
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: money to good cause whatever in the Beneth theaters. But

229
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: like my whole crowd of people were mainly older people

230
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: that I noticed that there was stuff. There was stuff

231
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: when that I was younger. But I saw a lot

232
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: of older men and I was very interested in that.

233
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: Like I saw like probably fifties and older men with

234
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: their wives or like just I was like, there's a

235
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: lot of y'all. Wow, I wonder if it's like this

236
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: is a little historical context of what this was. But

237
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: I found that interesting.

238
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. I mean, like we we probably

239
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: will come back and talk about this more in depth later,

240
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: but my crowd was very there were a lot of

241
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: like shocked gasping, especially from the women of like mm hmm.

242
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot of giggles like yep, yeah, that's yea

243
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: knowing knowing giggles.

244
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: Yes, the knowing giggles. Yeah, that was really fun. What

245
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: we Do in the Shadows came out new season. I

246
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: have loved it. There was one about gay Pride Parade

247
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: and it was very fun.

248
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: Is it completed?

249
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Huh No, okay, it's uh. They release every actually today

250
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: one came out. It come out on Thursday, but if

251
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: you're streaming it, it comes out of Friday, right and

252
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: it's on episode five of ten. But okay, there is

253
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: there was one about Pride Parade that was purposely very

254
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: like people are being tokenizing of your quote gay guy,

255
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: but at the end it had such like a like

256
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: happy acceptance of it. So we have to watch that.

257
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I made all our friends watch.

258
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: You know, I have to build mine up till it's

259
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: over so I can be.

260
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: Yes, you're you're the opposite of me. Yes, I like

261
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: to have the space it out, but I also want

262
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: to know because I can see all the descriptions of

263
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: the other ones, and I want to know. There was

264
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: also very funny cameos with the Energy Van Pireate Council.

265
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Oh it was so annoying, but purposely

266
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: and hilariously. So I've been enjoying that. I did just binge.

267
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: I did binge good Omens, which some of you have

268
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: written in about, and I am actually working on an

269
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: episode based on a suggestion of our listener good friend

270
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Jamie about shipping and good Omens is going to be

271
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: a big part of that episode, the shipping of good Omens.

272
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: But we've seen their like parody show where they're doing

273
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: zoom together and they're just being annoying with each other.

274
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: Oh you have I gonna have to find one because

275
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: all they're doing is arguing with each other, and we're

276
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: talking to each other, and then they bring their wives

277
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: into the play. It's quite funny. Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

278
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: Yes, the they were very cute in it. And I

279
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: again no spoilers, but I was like, Okay, I.

280
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: Think it was a BBC series during COVID and people.

281
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: Oh, oh I did see it. I don't. I didn't

282
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: watch it, but I did, like I remember hearing about that. Yeah, yes,

283
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: so I can prepare for this episode. Oh my gosh. Also,

284
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I watched The Bear, which everyone was telling me to

285
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: watch because I guess I'm on a food show. Oh.

286
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: I was like, I wouldn't have sent that to you.

287
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

288
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: I love it.

289
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: I love the show.

290
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I loved it. But I think this goes

291
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: back to what we talked about in the episode we

292
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: did about. I think it was the strike episode, but

293
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: like these genres, people were framing it to me like

294
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: it was a comedy that is not a comedy that

295
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: made me never want to go to a restaurant ever.

296
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: Again, I would say it's a feel good dramedy. Yeah,

297
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: it's like it's not as hard because.

298
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I was waiting.

299
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way I have framed it in my head

300
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: was that this is going to be traumatic. Everything's gonna

301
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: be the worst, and they're gonna all hate each other

302
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: and things are gonna go bad. And then you're like, oh,

303
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: there's some funny bess. Okay, Oh that's so sad. Oh okay,

304
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: it's not going to end badly yay. Like that's the

305
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: emotions I had, because I had no idea going and

306
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: I didn't want to watch it at first, because you know,

307
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: I hate sad things and embarrassing things, anything that makes

308
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: me cringe, and that's why I assumed the entire thing

309
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: would be It wasn't. I was pleasantly surprised, but I

310
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: waited forever because that's what I thought it was.

311
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had so many people suggest it to me,

312
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: and I guess that I don't know, but I thought

313
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: it was gonna be comedy, and so it was sort

314
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: of a I was very stressed about it. I always

315
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: have known that work in the restaurant is quite stressful,

316
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: especially in a restaurant of certain I don't want to

317
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: say caliber, but like expectation of what has to be.

318
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: Did you watch season two okay, we're just starting season two.

319
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: Oh my well, yeah, I'm a little stressed out because it's.

320
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: Already I mean, dear for I don't want to but

321
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: the final episode I was literally like, oh my god,

322
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm too stressed. But I don't think it's anything. I

323
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: think it's more just you are feel guilt for the

324
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: pressure we put on people in restaurants. Right. I guess

325
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: I did enjoy it. I do. Every time someone suggests

326
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: something to me, I trust that they know that I

327
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: would like it, and they're almost always right. But I'm

328
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: also like TV shows stressed me out anyway, and then

329
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm just reticent in case, like what if I don't

330
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: like it, I have to say something. But no, I

331
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: did really enjoy it. I did really enjoy it. It

332
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: stressed me out because I was like, if there, this

333
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: is what restaurants are putting people through that I can't.

334
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: I feel terrible that I did like it. Just Tip

335
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: really well, yeah I do, But they have a whole

336
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: conversation about Tip in there. Also, I have a fan

337
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: fiction update, because, as you know, I have been publishing

338
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: fan fiction.

339
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's her name, Amelion?

340
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: And so far it's been great and I've had great comments,

341
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: and people give me suggestions and I write them even

342
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: though I'm like, I would never have this idea or

343
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: write this idea, and then I do, and I'm like, actually, no,

344
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: you're right, this is cute or whatever. But I have

345
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: had some interesting as we talked about in our episode

346
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: called dub con, which is dubious consent, I've had some

347
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: interesting conversations about that with commenters, where like, either they

348
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: think I'm being too I'm warning people too much and

349
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: that makes it like sound scarier, and then people leave

350
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: and then it's not that bad. But I'm like, so

351
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I just I would rather warn

352
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: people too much than not warn them. But then I've

353
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: also had people by people. I mean one person who

354
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: came at it from a completely different way than I

355
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: interpreted something and was like it was interesting because I think,

356
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: I like, ultimately everyone identifies with one character over the other, right,

357
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: And in this I identified with the character that I had

358
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: much more like insecurity and self doubt and all this stuff,

359
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: and I had the other person identified much more with

360
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: the other character that doesn't have and was like, never,

361
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: you could never convince me that someone would be like

362
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: this and all of this stuff, and I was like,

363
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: I am not going to have this fight right now.

364
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: I could, but it was just interesting to see like

365
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: the because I do think there it was a flaw,

366
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: like it's not a good thing. I didn't want to

367
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: portray it as like a grid, this is insecurity, this

368
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: is damaging all of that stuff. But it was just

369
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: interesting to hear from someone who was like, oh no.

370
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: But also on top of that, I have had trouble

371
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: reading fan fiction lately because all I can think about

372
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: is I should be writing fan fiction. And so I've

373
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: learned like it feels like it is become I do

374
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: this all the time. I made it a job. I

375
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: made it like a thing. I made it it took

376
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: something I enjoyed and made it like, oh I have

377
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: to do this, and I'm trying to balance it out.

378
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: I've also discovered that creativity like really gives me energy.

379
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: It really does. Like I was so tired the other

380
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: day and I made this like very silly dungeons and

381
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: dragons collage, and it gave me so much energy just

382
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: doing this ridiculous thing. But it's I'm gonna have to

383
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: figure this out because I don't want to lose fan

384
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: fiction to I feel like I have to go write

385
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: fan fiction. Yeah, I don't know.

386
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: That would be so sad.

387
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: I would be very very sad. I wouldn't be very

388
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: unhappy to this. But I have just discovered it's really

389
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: like it used to be something I did, like after work.

390
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: I would check and I would read it and it

391
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: would be an nice, kind of like decompressing thing, and

392
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: now it's become well, now I've got to write because

393
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: I have to publish, like I'm gonna have to. I'm

394
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure it out.

395
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Can you take it high?

396
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

397
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: Oh no?

398
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: Oh my listeners. I always say listeners, even though they're readers,

399
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: and that's just who listen. People could find me. I

400
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: always make that mistake. Yeah, I gotta. Yeah. It just

401
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: feels like I have pressure, especially when I'm writing and like,

402
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: and I actually enjoy this, but I'm writing in pretty

403
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: much a fandom that's like not many people write it

404
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: anymore because it's forty plus years old. So I feel

405
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: like I have to or else it'll just die out

406
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: and no one will write, and then what will I do?

407
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: But that's not been true. People are still writing that.

408
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: It may just be they are, but they don't. They

409
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: don't write it as much like I remember when I

410
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: first started reading this compared to what it is now,

411
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: and it's very much lower. But again, I actually kind

412
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: of like that because I don't then it's not I

413
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: have to read forty stories at night, which is what

414
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: it was at one point. It's much more like it's

415
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: just this handful. But I don't want it to die

416
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: out completely. I'm feel like I have to contribute. I'm

417
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: making a lot of panicked motion. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

418
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: And I do have a kind of a fiery happy

419
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: hour coming up about oh some fan fiction stuff, but yeah,

420
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: so look forward to that every time. Yeah. But also

421
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: just to mention, I had this on the calendar for

422
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: a long time this especially with Oxen Free, I really

423
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about it. But there is still ongoing

424
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: strike stuff, which we still totally support, and so it's

425
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of a strange place to be when you're like,

426
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying this media. It was done before the strike,

427
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff, but it just feels kind of strange

428
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: of right, hmm. My hope that they get what they're

429
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: asking for, which is not that much to be honest, right, absolutely, Yeah,

430
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: So there's our media update if you have any suggestions

431
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: some cozy lazy games.

432
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something less lower than cozy? What's what's less

433
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: than that? Like hibernating? Is our hibernating games? Is that

434
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: the worst?
