1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Hey, this is any and samanthacome stuff I never told

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: your production of by Hurt Radio.

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: And we are back with another Happy Hour. And yes

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: we are still pausing on the watching of Sex and

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: the City because again, it's kind of busy month, busy

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: two months. There's so many things happening these like August

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: and September we're always in a whirlwind, and half of

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: October as well, and then it comes like holiday seasons

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: and then we're like, oh my god, what the end

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: of the year already. Yeah, so the last about last

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: five months, it gets hectic for us. Just a peek

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: behind the curtains there. But with that, I did want

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: to come back with kind of a follow up episode

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: of my original Happy Hour, which I was distressed and

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: unhappy and very sad. Apology that was a very unhappy

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: hour that I had. With all of that, I didn't

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: want to kind of follow up because I feel like

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: what we went through recently was a success. So this

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: is a Happy Hour update, happy happy happy Hour update.

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: So I don't know if we need content warning, maybe

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: just aging and uh probably again yeah, body issued body dysmorphia.

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: Just just some content warning, not real, just mentioned brief

23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: mentions if there is any, but before we started, because

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 2: it is a happy hour, Annie, are you partaking of anything? No,

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: that sounded really ominous.

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: No, it's been a whirlwind because I'm about to go

27
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: to dragon Con. That's correct, So I'm doing a lot

28
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: of stuff.

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: Are you kind of like detoxing without anything so that

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: you could jump in? Is that?

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: I just we recorded or earlier than we normally do,

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: so I've just been all over the place.

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: If you're finding your boundaries with that right now, I.

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Just have to do anything because I stand to the

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: late last night, so I've been kind of like running around.

36
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Trying to get it together. I understand. I understand because

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: we were again whirlwind, and no matter how much you prepare,

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: things happen. So I'm just drinking on water as well,

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: because you know, again it has been earlier, and we've

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: all talked about my intolerance as I am Asian and

41
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: growing older. But with all of that, if you are

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: taking partaking, please just do so responsibly. We care about you,

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: care about yourself as well, And if we are mentioning

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: anything specific, we are not necessarily being sponsored by them

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: dynamic ads that happens and all of that, So at

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: this point in time, we are not having any current

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: sponsors of those natures that we speak on. But so

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: we did attend podcast movement, did a whole panel. We

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: did a lot of things, and I would market as

50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: a success. Annie, would you marked as a success?

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: I would, Yeah.

52
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: I think we did a great job. We had the

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: fearless leader of ease, who is you know, a part

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: of our family. She has been so for a long

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: while and is now coming back on reoccurring segments with

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Female First, which we love and appreciate so much. That

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: she's an amazing storyteller, she's a amazing historian. But like

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: I initially going in, my anxiety was through the roof

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: to the point that I told you I was getting

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: ready to be medicated to certain degrees. That was like

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: I need a doctor, worth my doctor, And we did

62
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: get it all handled before on our way. It was

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: really funny because I think I've just noticed the last

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: three years how increasingly worse my anxiety has gotten. I'm functioning,

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: but I'm making people uncomfortable. That's an obvious note. Did

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: I get to the airport ridiculously early? Yes? I did.

67
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Did I give any step by step instructions of things

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: to a certain degree with leaving some parts out in

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: her misinterpreting some of my texts. Yes, I yes, did

70
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: I have any issues about like my clothing and my makeup?

71
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: So I told y'all, I was really struggling with that

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: aging process and my face really started to like look

73
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: like I'm aging. Turns out I had retin al burn. Y'all.

74
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a thing, and it was

75
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: legitimate because I was overdoing it. And I'll know, like

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: I have a feeling many of my like older thirties, forties, fifties,

77
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: y'all know, y'all know what I'm talking about, because you

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: freak out and you do all of these things in

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: preparation and you overdo it. And in that all of

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: the puffiness that was happening to my face, not all

81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 2: the a chunk of the puffiness and like extra things

82
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: that looked like I was like, oh no, what's happening

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: to me? Was because I wrote like I like my

84
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: face up. That's the best way I could put it,

85
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: like just being very blund about it. And with that

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: that realization really helped me. I was like, oh, my

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: face is burning. I'm like, wait, that's not aging. Face

88
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: burning is not an aging thing. When that moment happened,

89
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: I realized what was happening. My niece, adorable niece, shout out.

90
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: She doesn't listen to the show, but shout out to

91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: her who is a part of the makeup artist and

92
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: it's actually a social media manager for one of the

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: big colleges in Georgia. She came and helped out with

94
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: some pointers and we went shopping. We had a great

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: day together because she helped me with this, and we

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: sat and talked and had some good drinks. It was

97
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: a wonderful day and she really helped me figure out, oh, yeah,

98
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: that's what's wrong with me, okay, and trying to find

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: the confidence in that, and trying to figure out I

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: need to calm down like this says I will say,

101
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: because I did talk about perimenopause like that is the

102
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: up and down, this emotional factor of this impending doom

103
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: that you don't know what to do with, the anxiety

104
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: that goes on top of the fact that you may

105
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: already be prone to anxiety. Not helpful, not helpful, and

106
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: sometimes you need help, legitimate help, whether it is through therapy,

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: through medication, through legal channels. The things that I get

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: are not like classified significantly. It has to be under

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: lock and key type of things. It was just like, Okay,

110
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: this is nice. And to the point that, like the

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: performance anxiety, which we were all kind of freaking out about,

112
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: I think we did well. I think we did really well,

113
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: to the point that people are still contacting us trying

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: to find us on LinkedIn, like all these things, the

115
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: pictures that were sent. I was like, oh, we look cute.

116
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: I was actually really proud of those pictures. Look at that.

117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: I had a really cute outfit. I am leaning back

118
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: into the world of wide legged pants.

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: Y'all.

120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: Game changer for me. All of that today is like

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: learning to figure out Okay, that and we've talked about

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: this before, that was anxiety. That was anxiety that wasn't

123
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: necessarily the world falling apart. And I think we talked

124
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: about this with depression as well, like that is a moment,

125
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: is a moment, and if you can if you can

126
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: struggle through it or like get the help that you

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: need during that time or just lets time pass, it

128
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: oftentimes comes to that was a moment, not always please understand.

129
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: We know that there's a bigger cases and there's some

130
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: bigger conversations and that's not necessarily what I'm talking about,

131
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: But like for me, it was the moment the anxiety

132
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: was overwhelming. The depth of dread that I had was overwhelming.

133
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: Being reintroduced to society, which is what it felt like. Yeah,

134
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: is a process. But with that again, knowing that my

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: hormones and my mental health is different from where it

136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: was five years ago, my body is different from what

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: it was five years ago. So though those are the

138
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: facts that come along, but it wasn't as dire as

139
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: it felt at that point. Did I truly believe it

140
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: at that point? Yes, yes, it really like I was

141
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: in a hurt place today coming out of it, kind

142
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: of really prepping for what I knew I could help,

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: what I knew I could control really helped as well.

144
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Having Annie be a sounding board of me to be like, Okay,

145
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: you can do this, but you want to that's necessary.

146
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: I got you, like all of these things. Having that

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: was a really nice sounding board. Eves, who I've learned

148
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: as one of the most calming spirits ever in situations

149
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: like that, was really an amazing sounding board. We actually

150
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: connected with a server on our first day that really

151
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: I really didn't think about. And then we met her

152
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: again a few days later, and having her remember us

153
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: so distinctly and welcoming us, I don't know, that really

154
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: put a spot in my heart. Like I was like,

155
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why, but this is significant. I don't

156
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: think you understand because we were there with thousands of people,

157
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: hundreds of people, and she he was like, welcome back,

158
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, remembering our orders. Of course, I could be

159
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: another implication to that, but the fact that she had

160
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: only met us once and remembered us so vividly was

161
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: really welcoming. Having connections with strangers who really were listening

162
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: to our content and was welcoming to our advice and

163
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: our information really helpful us being able to prepare together.

164
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: I felt like it was really really helpful and just

165
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: reconnecting on a professional level, but also like a friendship

166
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: level with those people that we might not see. One

167
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: of our old co workers who left before we could

168
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: really say goodbye was there and so being able to

169
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: connect with him again was so lovely, Like it was

170
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: so genuinely see them happy. So genuinely see them happy

171
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: was such a like amazing tone to our conversation, Like

172
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: it really was a great like platform as we trying

173
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: to reconnect and have a conversation about their next steps

174
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: and what that's going on with them. It was lovely

175
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: to have all those things. And then again like I

176
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: had a person who hopefully will have on this show, yeah,

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: who is in the podcasting world now come up and say,

178
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: you know, I understood that episode like being validated, and

179
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: I think we all know that. It was like, oh

180
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: my god, good, good good. So I'm not over the

181
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: top about this.

182
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: It does feel this.

183
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: Intense sometimes, and having validation and that all does help.

184
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 2: But again, like having time to pass by it, I

185
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: don't know if it had gone to be a disaster,

186
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: like if I had if we had frozen up and

187
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: not had any answers and just mumbled through, that could

188
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: be a whole different story. I would be this would

189
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: be a completely different episode where I'm like bowing out

190
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: and resigning.

191
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: Unfortunately no longer with us.

192
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: She just walked out. But to have that was really

193
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: really nice to know that we could do that, you

194
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And not that I didn't think

195
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: we could. I knew that the three of us all

196
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: gave a good balance in this conversation. So that was

197
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: nice to have as a as a as a group.

198
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Like this is where I think true family is versus

199
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: just a workplace. And I'm not saying this as in

200
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: like your family, our work family. It is a thing

201
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: that's not a thing. That's not a thing we know

202
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: when it comes to higher ups using that language, this manipulation.

203
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: What we're talking about is that correct connection between co

204
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: workers who are in similar situations and instead of having

205
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: to compete with each other and instead of having to

206
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: put others down, we actually help each other and balance

207
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: each other out. That's that family that you know you're

208
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: going into battle together and coming out together, surviving and thriving,

209
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: And that's that level being able to be a part

210
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: of a crew like that really does feel fulfilling, you know.

211
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: So in all this bragging, I just want to let

212
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: y'all know that I am okay first and foremost, because

213
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: that was real. It was really intense, uh. But also secondly,

214
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: like this is a growing, still growing experience, like I

215
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: am again in my forties and growing into this learning

216
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: about myself, learning about how I handle things, relearning myself

217
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: in new or forgotten environments, and I think it's been

218
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: amazing and really any thank you for putting up with

219
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: all the anxiety in which I'm like, you need to

220
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: get here, where are you type of conversations. Did I

221
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: get to the airport four hours early?

222
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: Yes?

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I did.

224
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: Did we consider holding back so we could get a

225
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bouture? Yeah we did.

226
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah we did.

227
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: We would have both been like check, give me that money.

228
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: But also like it was it was a good trip.

229
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: Came back home. Did a COVID does because I was like, oh,

230
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: I feel kind of weird, said negative? Is that negative?

231
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: But coming back getting back into like work realm, knowing

232
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: that we're still in high gear, trying to prep forward

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: things in the future.

234
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

235
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: So in the end, this updated happy happy hour, We're

236
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: in a good space and all the patients in the

237
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: world from you listeners and all the good advice I'll

238
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: always get from the listeners as well as to the

239
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: new listeners or to the new people who are a

240
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: part of that panel. If you happen to have caught that,

241
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Just seeing

242
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: the faces and yeah, that was things our audience. They

243
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: were so supportive. It was like we had one where

244
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 2: we were talking about how you know, people kind of

245
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: wanted to control us this one. Everybody was just smiling

246
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: and nodding and answering back. I was like, so, this

247
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: is what it feels like when people are paying attention

248
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: for real, for real, for real live audiences and being

249
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: here on purpose because we have people accidentally show up

250
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: in past panels are like, this is not what I wanted,

251
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: and make sure we knew it. But having people who

252
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: attended this, who were truly interested and who were truly

253
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: engaged was another plus. Uh and an added reminder of like,

254
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: this is a great community.

255
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: And just a couple of things I want to touch

256
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: on is one. I think, Samantha, you you've done well

257
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: with like finding tools that help you. And so you

258
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: had a you had a lot of anxiety, but you

259
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: had plans. You had like plans, You had plans and

260
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: it went well. We did practice before with Eves, and

261
00:14:54,520 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Eves is a very complex steady yeah, steady really because

262
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: I was really nervous and I was shaking, which is

263
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: just something that I do. But having the two of

264
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: you was great. I also want to kind of paint

265
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the scene. So we got there before Eves and it

266
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: was a huge like Exhibit Hall and it had just

267
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: like a bunch of chairs in front of various stages,

268
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: and then people would put on headphones. Yes, and so

269
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: we were panics about that as well, because we're like,

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: this is chaos behind us. It's an open hallway like

271
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: open hall, and people were wearing headphones.

272
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be able to hear. I don't know

273
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: what it's going to go. I'll go on.

274
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: But it turned out to be great, and then the

275
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: audience was very supportive, and I wish we only have

276
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Our topic was better banter. I wish we

277
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: had had a little bit more time so we could

278
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: have done more Q and A, which we didn't know

279
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: if we were.

280
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: Going to get any questions. So that's always right.

281
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: People care, Yeah, exactly exactly. But it was cool and

282
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: it did make me realize we both need to update

283
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: or buy I've been doing this for a long time.

284
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: Listeners, I've been here.

285
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: This was hilarious, y'all because I would mention how long

286
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: of an experienced she had, and everybody was like God,

287
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: because everybody essentially was newer, Like I think the oldest

288
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: outside of people we knew like podcasters or people in

289
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: the industry, was like five years at most and eighty

290
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: over here sitting at fourteen almost like.

291
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it was just kind of eye opening.

292
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why I've never sometimes when you get

293
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: in your life, it's just like but anyway, that was cool.

294
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: We need to update our bioso, because I was looking

295
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: at other people's bios and I was like, oh, yeah, okay,

296
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: ours are like two sentences like oh she works here.

297
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: Like what it feels like when you were updating an

298
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: old resume, and like this is all unnecessary? Why is right? Right?

299
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: So next time, next time we got this.

300
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: But also the person Samantha mentioned earlier that came up

301
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: to talk to to her afterwards was specifically mentioned the

302
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: happy hour where you were freaking out right and was

303
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: like I related so hard, right, I was like, thank god,

304
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: yeah right. It was comforting and it was cool to

305
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: we got to interact with people who were at the

306
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: panel afterwards and answer some questions, hopefully give some good advice.

307
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: But it was me.

308
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of times it's just me and

309
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: Samantha laptops in her closet, and it was nice. It

310
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: was a nice feeling for me to feel like, oh,

311
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: I actually do know about this. Yeah, I do know

312
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: about this. I've got some experience with this, which.

313
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

314
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: I think I just don't think about it a lot.

315
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: I just had to get my work done. And a

316
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of our colleagues came to our panel and they

317
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: were so support us.

318
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 3: That was really appreciated.

319
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: And if we were on if we were there for

320
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: four days and we were on the second day, that

321
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: was nice. We were towards the end of the second

322
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: But I'm somebody I I call it my dark side

323
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: of procrastinating. I can't do anything else if I'm worried

324
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: about that thing. That's all I can do focused on.

325
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

326
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, So until that point, that's all I could think

327
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: about was better banter. What are you gonna say? I

328
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: was planning my banter too much? She had a whole

329
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: section about where we talked about that. But yeah, I

330
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: thought it was nice. I felt good after it. I

331
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: felt like we did a good job and we did

332
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: provide those different experiences. And I guess I hadn't realized

333
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: how much I'd kind of been missing that feeling of like, oh, okay.
