49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,320

00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: I did like in the spring and winter months. So

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: I went ahead and I reviewed my camera role.

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Okay, what did you say.

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: Well, at the beginning of the year. At the top

55
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: of the year, I had curtain bangs and that was

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: like a big deal for me, and it was a

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: whole different look, a whole different vibe. I was doing

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: a lot more stand up also, I was doing a

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,200

Speaker 2: at the Laugh Factory lot on that like weekly Spanglish show.

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: I think I went up like five or six times,

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: which was really fun for me. And yeah, and then

71
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the summer, I went to Austin

72

Speaker 2: at the Austin Eye cannabis Co that was super fun.

75
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: We went to the Comedy Mothership that was really weird,

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: very bizarre experience. But yeah, like it was a good year.

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: And then this summer I started to make videos also

78
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: for the Loss, which is a project of the La Times,

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: mostly doing like comedy coverage. Like I did a video

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: about and Covina. What else did I do? I don't

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: even remember it. Oh, I did a video about the

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: pump track in Englewood. Yes, and I met up with

83
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Karen the Carrott and a bunch of really bad ass

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Latino rollerskaters, and they taught me how to drop in

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: for the first time. So you can see those those

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: videos on the Lost pages online on Instagram and TikTok.

87
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: What else? We had our launch.

88
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: We had our launch, but before that, you had a

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: viral TikTok moment with your cutie, and someone on Instagram

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: in our little question box wanted to know, like what happened, Mala,

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: So what happened?

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: What happened?

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: So to tell us about yes review, I was.

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: In line at Starbucks, which we are boycotting now, but

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: at the time we were not boycotting Starbucks. It was

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: a different era.

97
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: It was.

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: It was really a different one.

99
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is the same year, honestly.

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: No very much. So, so I'm like in line at

101
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: Starbucks and and I had this thought in my head

102
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: of like a story that I wanted to tell. So

103
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: I got on my phone and I recorded this video

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: of how I went to Vayarta to go pick up

105
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: I love the chi chat on it Bayarta, like if

106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: you've never had it. They have like several different kinds.

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: You know, they have the kind of like the sheet,

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: but then they have some they're like longer, thicker meteor,

109
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: which are obviously the ones that I like the most.

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: And you can go and like you can make a

111
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: whole taco out of just like a chicha on. You know,

112
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: your lemon, your fixings, your guac, what have you? Right,

113
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: So I put on TikTok, Like I was there and

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 2: I was choosing a piece and this guy was choosing

115
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: the exact same pieces me at the exact same time,

116
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: and like we fell in love. And it turns out

117
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: that he's like the air to a vast tortilla chip fortune.

118
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: And I put that on TikTok and it went kind

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: of viral, and then people were like, oh my god, like,

120
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: first of all, there's no way. Second of all, like

121
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: who is he. Third of all, there were several journalists

122
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: that we love and respect, like went and they did

123
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: all kinds.

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Of research ours because their journalist.

125
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: At like reputable like Los Angeles news media institutions, you know.

126
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: And so one of them she DMS me and she's like,

127
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: oh my god, Mala, I did some research, yes, and

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: I found like all the tortilla companies that are family

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: owned that are located in the United States, and she

130
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: like narrowed it down and she like found a family

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: based in Washington. She's like, this family has like three sons,

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: two of them are married, one is not. And she's

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: like going into like archives and records and she's like,

134
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: who is it. I can't figure it out? And I

135
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: had to break it to her like, this is not

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: a real person, Like this is a story you know

137
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: that I just made up. There is no Tortilla ship air,

138
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: there was no Vayata meet cute. But I did get

139
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars gift card from Yata, so it was

140
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: worth it.

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: It was worth it. Morn Is to me, that was

142
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the fairy tale. And I think that this is you

143
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: breaking the news to the listeners. I don't think on

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: the record shared that this was a story, No, that

145
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: you invented. So so here it is.

146
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: But actually the thing is the reason why it's so

147
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: believable is and we've talked about this.

148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: It's so believable.

149
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: There are like food rich Latino families.

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I went to high school with them. Yeah, like

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I know where they live. Like still, yes, I went

152
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: to middle school with the owners of La Barca, which

153
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: is a really popular chain in Downey and Southeast Dela.

154
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Like yes, the Latino Royalty, the food royalty, I met

155
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: the tapatios, Like yes, they're out there.

156
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: You know.

157
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: And so it's totally a viable meet cute.

158
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: It is. So I think that's why it had legs,

159
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: and that's why it was so believable and you know what,

160
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: it's not outside the realm of possibility.

161
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: It's really not.

162
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: It's really not. So I'm just going to keep going

163
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: to chain grocery store until it comes to fruition. So

164
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280

165
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: season eight launch this year for Loca.

167
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: like this big launch and it's amazing, and then it's

168
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: like everyone forgets and we remember, we have to bring

169
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: back that video actually before the year and season ends.

170
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: Yes, So we put out a cute little vid inspired

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: by Share and Raquel Welch from the Share Show. It

172
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: was like a song and dance number, well they weren't

173
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,680

174
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: together called I'm a Woman, and we rewrote the lyrics

175
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: to make it like, you know, we're a podcast. I

176
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: don't even remember LC at O or A. Yeah, we

179
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,080

184
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: you have to force me to do, and I'll do it.

185
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I love it, but you know it's it's definitely something

186
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,640

263
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: Crush Wednesdays at the Hollywood Improv and I remember thinking

264
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: like I need to go, like I need to go

265
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: to this last show. So I went and I'm just

266
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: sitting in the back like with everybody else, being very inconspicuous,

267
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: like you know, I just like waved at her from

268
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: a distance or whatever. And she was like, oh, do

269
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: you want to do five minutes? And I was like yes,

270

Speaker 2: And so I did five minutes on that show in

271
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: the lab at the Improv. And after that she was like,

272
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: you earned a spot on the show. You're going to

273

279
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,240

Speaker 2: was actually kind of a whirlwind of emotions. It was

315
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: actually kind of like a dramatic end of the trip

316
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: because we hike the Inca Trail, we get to Machu Pichu.

317
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: It's like a very it was a wet, like six

318
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: hours of hiking. It was very strenuous, and once we

319
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: got to Machu Pichu and we sort of were winding

320
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: down from the hike in the day, I started getting

321
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: text messages from my mom and from my family back

322
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: home telling me that my grandfather passed away, and it

323
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: was very unexpected. He had been very sick for a

324
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: very long time. He was in and out of the

325
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: hospital basically like constantly for the past few years. But

326
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, it was like just a routine visit the

327
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: last time that he was checked into the hospital. So

328
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: then to like get the news that he had passed

329
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: was kind of out of nowhere and kind of shocking.

330
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: And so we're like, a there's a lot of people

331
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: at Machu Pichu and we're all taking buses, you know,

332
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: to get from there to our hotel. And so then

333
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: I shared with you what happened. I'm like talking to

334
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: my mom and like, you know, getting all the news

335
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: and kind of like in shock over the whole thing.

336
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: And then you were like really helpful and supportive and

337
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: changing my fly and making sure I could get home

338
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: because my family started the rosary for him like almost

339
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: immediately right And what was so wild was like, you know,

340
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: we had to fly back from Cusco to Lima, and

341
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: then from Lima, I flew to Miami, and then from Miami,

342
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: I flew to la and then I went straight to

343
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: my like showered and dropped off my suitcases and then

344
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: like went straight to my grandma's and we started praying

345
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: the Rosary. And so that was a wild time because

346
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: before I left Peru, I was still in Peru, like

347
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: about to leave the next day, and then I get

348
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: an email. I get news that I got accepted to

349
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: this grad school program that I applied to.

350
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: Yes, congratulations, thank you, thank you.

351
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm not going to share exactly where, Yeah, because I

352
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: was just telling Biosa like I don't know, I have

353
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: like fear of like maldeojo right now, Like I don't know,

354
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: like I have been feeling bad vibes like a foot recently.

355
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: So this piece of information I'm holding close for now.

356
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: I will revel in it later. But I don't know.

357
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: There's just something about right now where I'm like, this

358
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: is not the time, you know, fair, these people don't

359
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: need to know all that information. But yeah, that happened.

360
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: This was all within the span of three days. Yeah,

361
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: like Haike Matchupichu, the Inca trail, which was very strenuous,

362
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: get back to the hotel, you share the news with us.

363
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: A day later, you get into grad school. Like talk

364
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: about emotional whiplash.

365
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: It was wild and then the flights and the time

366
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: zones and everything, and so like I've sort of been

367
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: kind of just you know, recuperating and in morning, and

368
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: I canceled a bunch. I had a bunch of shows,

369
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: and I like really didn't do any shows in November.

370
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: I've kind of just been like, you know, getting myself

371
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: back together and all that, which has also included getting

372
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: back into acting. I was in a little web series recently.

373
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: I had a cameo which was really lovely and fun,

374
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: directed by Stefo and produced by Gracie La Campo. That

375
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: was a really really fun time. Caesar Camacho is in

376
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: that series as well, so I want to thank them

377
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: for having me. I love to act. I don't get

378
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: to act as much as I would like. I'll audition

379
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: here and there, but you know it's hard. So yeah,

380
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: anytime I get too, I'm like really happy about it.

381
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: And then another life change. I recently got rid of

382
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: my car of ten years after I graduated from college.

383
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: Like the first thing I bought was this little car,

384
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: my little hun dive lost her and she just sort

385
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: of gave out on me, and I didn't want to

386
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: like pay thousands of dollars in repairs. Where I'm at now,

387
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 2: I have lots of public transpost so she's gone, and

388
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's another chapter closed. It's like

389
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: I had her from undergrad now now I'm starting grad school,

390
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So it's just a clean,

391
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: clean break totally.

392
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to pay for a parking permit because

393
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: they're really expensive. So that's all, you know, positive.

394
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: It's positive. So, oh my god, I'm exhausted. That's everything.

395
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: That's my year interview. That's all of it.

396
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an insurance here, like, that's everything.

397
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: No, I didn't share with you guys. I forgot to

398
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: include this. And my mom has been talking about this.

399
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: My mom had a very in cancer. Right, my mom

400
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: had a very in cancer and so she's in remission.

401
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: She's fine, but it still happened this.

402
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: Year, yeah, at the beginning of the year.

403
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that's something too that like was like

404
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: another thing that we're just like really grateful that she's fine.

405
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: And she you know, my mom is a dancer. She performs,

406
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: and she's back dancing again, she's back performing again, she's teaching,

407
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: so we're just like very grateful that she's she's healthy.

408
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, your mom is amazing. We love we love Mamma Munios.

409
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: Shout out mother. Yeah, mother superior, That's what I call her.

410
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: H I mean, yeah, it fits m Yeah, I mean

411
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: what a hell of a year. Yeah, honestly. And I

412
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: think it's also like we talk about this all the

413
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: time just in general, but I think it's another example, right,

414
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: like you don't know what people are going through. You know,

415
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: there's like so many demands of people that are online, right,

416
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: like you have to be doing the x y Z

417
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and if you have a platform, you have to be

418
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: doing x y Z. But like a lot of us

419
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: are fighting these battles and nobody knows or just going

420
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: through a lot, and we show up how we can.

421
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: And just putting out a season of look at Thought

422
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: our Radio is a lot of work. It's thirty episodes

423
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: pre network deal. So grateful. We used to put out

424
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: like maybe twenty five episodes a year, and we weren't

425
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: a weekly show. And now just like the caliber of

426
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: being weak to weekly having to research and produce and

427
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: reach out to guests. It's a really great problem to have,

428
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, But it's also like that is

429
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: very time consuming. It's also a.

430
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: Lot of work, and you have been also juggling many

431
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: things this year. While putting out said word, Yes, let's

432
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: talk about your year.

433
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: My year. You know, this was my first year of marriage. Yes,

434
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I got married at the literally like the second to

435
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: last day of December of twenty twenty two. I got

436
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: married December thirtieth, So I'm coming up on a year.

437
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: So this was my first full year of being a newlywed.

438
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: And I think I underestimated how different marriage would be,

439
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And I think I really underestimated the

440
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: personal changes I would have to undergo, you know. And

441
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: I think because really none of our friends are married.

442
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: None of our friends are married.

443
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: Even my best friend that got engaged before I did,

444
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: she got married after me. She got married this past June,

445
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: and so I didn't really have anybody to really like,

446
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: what is it like? What can I expect? I wasn't

447
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: asking any questions because I got I planned a wedding,

448
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: got engaged, and planned a wedding in two months.

449
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: It was very fast.

450
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: It was extremely fast.

451
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: I remember when you told me, yes, I was right now. Yeah.

452
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh. I was also shocked when I we decided we

453
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: were going to get married in December. You know, I

454
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: was thinking of spring wedding. You know, I'm wearing something strapless. No, like,

455
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: that's not what happened. And so I think that for

456
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: me has been like one of my biggest personal just

457
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: changes and it's not a negative. It's just a lot

458
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: of growth. And also like because this was never our plan,

459
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: but we didn't live together, so we got married before

460
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: living together, which I would not advise to anybody, and

461
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: people give that advice all the time, and that just

462
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: is kind of the way everything played out. And we

463
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: were okay with that, and you know, living together is

464
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: its own adjustment and so it's like these two adjustments

465
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: at the same time. And you know, to be clear,

466
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: it's mainly me. Like I was basically an only child,

467
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: so having to share space with someone is like, you know,

468
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: it caused me some It cost some things for me.

469
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, my partner's amazing, but me and I have

470
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: my things, my peculiarities, my idiosyncrasies of how I do things.

471
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: So you know, that's been its own challenge. But you know,

472
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: a beautiful one. It's a blessing, right.

473
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you've you've princess yes, Princess yes, your

474
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: princess and a princess even when the Inca trail just

475
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: came up. You're like, you were like, so I made

476
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: up in Cessta to our guide.

477
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because he was like, why why didn't she?

478
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Why didn't y'all do the four days? You could have

479
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: done the four day trail, And I was like, you

480
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: don't really know me. But so I met the upt

481
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: in CESSA and I can't do four days of hiking

482
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: and camping. Yeah, ten No, So we did two days

483
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: and it was great.

484
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great amount of days.

485
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: I thought so too, perfect number of days. But I mean, yeah,

486
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: I think in addition to like the top of the year,

487
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: just I think everything for me happened so fast. Like

488
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: I had my last semester of grad school and my

489
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: overall emphasis for my program was audio and narrative storytelling.

490
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I like dabbled in some screenwriting, and then I graduated

491
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: in May, and that whole program was incredible. But it

492
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: went by so fast. I started in summer of twenty

493
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: twenty two and then graduated spring twenty twenty three, So

494
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: it was so fast, and I can't believe this like

495
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: happened at the beginning of the year you know what

496
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like the top of the year, like what

497
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I graduated, and I think that was I mean, grad

498
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: school for me, was was something I always wanted to

499
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: do and I'm really happy that I did it. It

500
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: went by so fast. I have no regrets. But that

501
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: was like a really yeah, that was one of my

502
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: big things, my big milestones of the year that I

503
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: graduated milestone.

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big under It was a big undertaking.

505
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: It was lots of tears, lots of tears.

506
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: And a lot of a lot of new friends.

507
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Lots of new friends. Yes, yeah, and that's yeah, that's

508
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: the one good part of like going back back to school.

509
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, it expands that circle and of course your knowledge,

510
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: right and all of that. Something else. Oh, this was

511
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: a big one. I left my my job. I had

512
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: a job at a creative agency, shout Out Revolve, and.

513
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe that was this game.

514
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: I can't believe it.

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: You were working there this calendar year.

516
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, my last day was January thirty first.

517
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

518
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I parted ways like amicably with a

519
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: broken heart because I didn't want to leave my job.

520
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: I loved working there. But like I've shared on the

521
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: show before, Like it got to a point where I

522
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: was so miserable. I wasn't enjoying my work. I wasn't

523
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: enjoying school, I wasn't enjoying lok at Dora. Like every

524
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: I was so burnt out that I was so busy

525
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't enjoy my life. And it was like, well,

526
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: we got the network deal, we have a budget, Like

527
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: what am I waiting for now? And so that was

528
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: why I left the job. And then I became a

529
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: full time look at Ota employee. This past summer, we

530
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: started payroll, like that was a big deal. We're paying

531
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: taxes like through lok at Dora, employer taxes and employee taxes.

532
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's wild. We have salaries.

533
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: We have salaries, baby salaries, but like salaries, nonetheless, the

534
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: bills get paid.

535
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: We have health insurance, we do I know.

536
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: That's a big one.

537
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: That's a big one.

538
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Well this is kind of a sad one. But in February,

539
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: my cat died. He was sixteen, and he lived a

540
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: really long life with us, and he was like one

541
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: of those cats like I see these cats on social

542
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: media that are like so cuddly and lovey, and he

543
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: wasn't that he was the opposite of that. He like

544
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: tolerated us. He like was like one of those cats

545
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: like I'm giving you my presence and that's enough, but

546
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna pet me, like you know, he

547
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: did have more of an affinity for my mom, I

548
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: will say, but it was Yeah, I mean he was,

549
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, a member of our family for so long,

550
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: so that was sad to have to go through that. Yeah,

551
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: losing a pet is always really hard. So that was

552
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: something that happened early in the year that kind of

553
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: like was unexpected, like expected because he was you know,

554
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: old and sick, but like still unexpected.

555
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a presence at your house. It was

556
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: he would just kind of come and watch.

557
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Yes, he would like perch up and be like, what's

558
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: going on here? I'm supervising, Very regal, yes, very judgmental.

559
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: We would joke that he was like our.

560
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: Landlord, She's just checking on things because.

561
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: He like, you know, he like used to when he

562
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: was a lot younger. He would like go in and

563
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: out and he would be gone for days and I'm like,

564
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: do you have another home? Probably, yeah, he was one

565
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: of those cats.

566
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: No you think he had another home.

567
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: I think he did. And then eventually we became the

568
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: primary residence and he just stopped leaving as he got older, Okay,

569
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: and which is why I feel like he just tolerated us.

570
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: And he was our landlord and we were his tenants,

571
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Like that was the relationship we had. It was his

572
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: house rip. What else. My best friend, like I mentioned,

573
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: got married and I was her maid of honor and

574
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: we planned. I planned with her other friends a bachelorette

575
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: trip to Buertovayata and that was a lot of fun.

576
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: I had never been to. It's beautiful. I definitely want

577
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: to go back because it was one of those like

578
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: we're on a Bachelor Red trip, We're on a boat.

579
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: There weren't like necessarily cultural aspects of the trip. You know,

580
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: we were drinking and like on a boat, like that

581
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: was the goal of the trip, and that's what we did.

582
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: Color coordinated color.

583
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: It was one of those you know, bachelorette I need

584
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: to redo it because Bachelor Red parties are like a

585
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: whole thing now, they're like weekends. There's like itineraries, there's

586
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: color coordinating, there's themes.

587
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't make y'all do anything matching cups. There

588
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: was no time, no there wasn't between announcement, proposal, wedding day. Yeah,

589
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: like holidays.

590
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I want to do over. I need to make y'all

591
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: work more.

592
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: I agree. I think you deserve a do over. Like

593
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm so, we need matching cups, you need the shawl,

594
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: the sashes.

595
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know about the sashes, but okay.

596
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: The little robes at some ride, you know all that stuff.

597
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: That those are the things that I don't like.

598
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: Those are the well, we'll make it avant garde, we'll

599
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: make it special.

600
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no shade to anyone. My best friend was

601
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: that bride. Like my best friend was like, I'm the

602
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: bride that wants everything to say bride. I want like

603
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear white the whole weekend and everything everything right,

604
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: that's her. I supported it, We did it. It was

605
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: great for her. That's your thing. That's your thing. It's

606
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: not really my thing. But also why I want to

607
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: do over in some fun avant garde way, like you said.

Speaker 1: on our honeymoon and like this point we're gonna be

612
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: like probably two three years married before we actually go

613
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: on our honeymoon. And I was like, I'm gonna wear

615
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: when people ask if we just got married, I'm gonna

Speaker 1: we'll change the rules, so why not.

620
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: You know, it's still a baby matrimony.

Speaker 1: The Rose Bowl was wild. I had never been to

630
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: I had never been to the Rose Bowl and seen

631
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: that kind of chaos for a concert. I don't know

632
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: how the soccer games are actually I have gone for

633
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: a soccer game and it was not that wild, but yes,

634
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: it was wild. It was fun, but it was so packed.

635
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: I felt like people over sold. They over tickets, were

636
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: over sold. I don't know. You couldn't move. It was wild.

637
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: You were like, people are barefoot.

638
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: People were barefoot at the end. It was one of

639
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: those concerts.

640
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: Not me. Yeah, no, never, never, I've never seen take

641
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: your shoes off publicly.

642
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay. Next we saw Gene Monet that

643
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: was so queer, so fun, so good. And then finally

644
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: like we both went to see Beyonce. Yes, yes, what else?

645
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: I also started working with the Loos and I started

646
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: writing doing some written freelance pieces for them, and one

647
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: of them ended up in print, which was so exciting.

648
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: I wrote about the running clubs in Southeast LA, and

649
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: it was just so cool to see it in print

650
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: and to see like the folks the runners like b

651
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: photographed like while they're running, while they're in community and

652
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: just like out in their local streets. So that was

653
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: really fun. I love that. One part of Lokata Radio,

654
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean season A, we launched a mini series, the

655
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: Mental Health Series. I think that series was my favorite

656
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: couple of episodes of Loka Dora Radio and also our

657
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: We Love America episode that we did, like a deep

658
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: dive on America FA That one was so good.

659
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad we did that.

660
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: She deserves it, she does, and she's still getting all

661
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: her flowers, like as the year progresses, as it comes

662
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: to an end.

663
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is just the beginning for her.

664
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: You know. I feel like she is now reaching that

665
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: people are recognizing for her as having this storied career.

666
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: Eventually they're going to talk about her, you know, like

667
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: if she keeps landing these big lead roles in big films,

668
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: Like I see that trajectory for her totally.

669
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: I see that too. It's kind of how you started

670
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: the year. I got bangs. The last couple of years,

671
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, I've made.

672
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: Not just bangs.

673
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: I got like I got bangs.

674
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: What do you mean a French bob? Oh?

675
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: I did I go to a French job, right?

676
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: They weren't just bangs, That's true.

677
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: I got a French I got a French bob. And

678
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm at that point where I'm like, I hate them.

679
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: You did say that, I did?

680
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I go through my days where I'm like,

681
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: I love the banks and then I hate them.

682
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

683
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm in that period where like I micro

684
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: them out or I might cut them again.

685
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

686
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

687
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: It's not easy being a bang lady.

688
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: It's not one.

689
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: No one said it was easy.

690
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: No, no, But here we are here.

691
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: I love the bangs on you. I think they're precious.

692
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: Thank you.

693
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: You look like a doll.

694
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: See, I don't know if I want to look like

695
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: a doll.

696
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: What's wrong with looking like a doll?

697
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: That's true.

698
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, you're right.

699
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: Okay. So just wrapping up my twenty twenty two year,

700
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, not twenty twenty two. We're in twenty

701
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty three, wrapping up the year. I thought like twenty

702
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty two was like my milestone year, like so many

703
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: big things has happened for us individually, and then twenty

704
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty three was like the aftermath of everything. It was like,

705
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: oh you wanted this, okay, Doma.

706
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Here it is here, it is there, you go.

707
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: And so I've really been going through it this year.

708
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Like I know, I celebrated like all the amazing things

709
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: that happened, but like, oh my god, this year was

710
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: rough and It really taught me about boundaries and like

711
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: letting myself grow because you think you're ready to grow,

712
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: because you want all like the positives of growth, and

713
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: then you actually have to do it and it's painful.

714
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: It's like so hard, and it's like putting then everything

715
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: into practice that I've learned in therapy for the past

716
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: six years. And if you follow astrology at all, like

717
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: you may know that the north node of the moon

718
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: entered Aries in July and the south node entered Libra

719
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: at the exact same time. So if you have either

720
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: of these signs in your chart, you might have been

721
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: going through it this year. And lucky for me, I

722
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: have both. Okay, so I'm a Libra son and an

723
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Aries rising. So this year kicked my ass and I like,

724
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: I like to follow Chawnie Nicholas. She like is a

725
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: famous astrologer, right, and she has her own app and everything,

726
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: and so she was when I was looking at my

727
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three year. I didn't look at it until

728
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: like we were prepping for this episode. I've been following

729
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: my horoscope like weekly, but this I hadn't really looked

730
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: at the year as a whole. And so she says

731
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: the top of the year, Jupiter was an aries, which

732
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: she described as a lucky streak. You're protected, you're growing

733
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: faster than you thought possible. So it makes so much

734
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: sense why the first five months of the year were

735
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: so good and why July to now have been rough. Okay,

736
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so I am ready

737
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: to like close out the year like a in a

738
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: sleepy hibernation type of way, you know what I mean, Like, well,

739
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: the work will continue, but like I'm going to be

740
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: hibernating a little bit, Like I'm going to be like withdrawing.

741
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: It's winter.

742
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's time for that. It's time to it's time

743
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: to turn off the lights and take a nap.

744
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, So that's how I'm feeling. That was my year.

745
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: And you know what, I think you deserve that. I

746
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: think you deserve the rest and the relaxation. And then

747
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: we start all over again in January.

748
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Yes, and then we are season wraps, like we only

749
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: have a couple episodes left of the season. Our season

750
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: eventually or are our season formally ends at the end

751
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: of January. We're wrapping another season. And I can't believe it.

752
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. And the plan is to be

753
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: back yes season nine.

754

Speaker 2: home on the network. It really has been life changing,

758
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,879

759
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 2: we were able to do and experience this year were

760
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 2: because of our work with the network. Absolutely, a network

761
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: show has like changed everything, yeah.

762
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's also like come at a time

763
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: where you know, major media corporations are laying off their journalists,

764
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: laying off their podcasters, counseling shows like that's also the

765
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: landscape that we've been operating under, you know, And so

766
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: it's really hard working in this industry, right, and we

767
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,200
