1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sandy and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephane

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: never told you protection of iHeart Radio, and welcome to

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: well part two of our special Sminty Makes Cocktail Happy

4
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Hour because this is now Annie's turn to bring her

5
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: creation to your ears. And I have to laugh because

6
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: in making mine, and do you realize how much you

7
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: have used? And this this is like I was like,

8
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: I need a tumbler. I don't have like a giant

9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: tumbler for this, so I had to cut it in half.

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to in order to keep up. Because we

11
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: are actually recording both of the Happy Hour from the

12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: previous one to this one, back to back, so that

13
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: means we're having two cocktails. Yes, it's that kind of day.

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: And for myself of like, I need to slow down

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: just a little, but so doing the full amount of

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: the chosen cocktail would be too much. But before we

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: get ahead of ourselves, can you tell us about this cocktail? Yes? Well, okay,

18
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: perhaps first drink response you choose to do so, secondly

19
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: if you listened, So it's kind of odd. But Samantha

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: does half of the happy Hours. I do the other half.

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: So even though these are there's an episode of mine

22
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: in between we're doing two Samantha's spec to back. But

23
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: this was Samantha's idea that we would each turn in

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: a cocktail and then have each other make it and

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: try it um and I sent three ideas. I sent

26
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: one that was essentially like a frozen water ellen gen

27
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: lime situation, which is one of my favorite things. And

28
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: if you've heard that past episode, it was kind of

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: a play on what I used to drink in the summer,

30
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: non alcoholic with my mom. That was just so refreshing.

31
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: And I call that one the Flames of boostafar Um.

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: And then I came up with another one that I

33
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: thought was just funny, and it's just coffee with a

34
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: shot of tequila in it, and it's called Coffee one

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Kenobi because right now on archive of our own the

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: fan fiction website, it's a huge tag. I wish I

37
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: had written it down, but essentially, like, if the Obi

38
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: wan Kenobi show is an Obi wan Kenobi just drinking

39
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: tequila and crying, then I don't want to be there.

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: So I thought that was funny. This one is called

41
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: That's So feat which features a ewa Kes curse word.

42
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Uh so, I like I like the sound of feat.

43
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I also thought it was funny with that, so fatch Anyway,

44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: it's a plan a poloma because we were trying to

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: make things that each other would like, and I know

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: that you like great fruit, and I know that you

47
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: like plapinos. Interestingly, as I mentioned in the previous episode,

48
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: we did in Samantha's cocktail there was a plapino simple

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: syrup involved, and then I got rid of it because

50
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: I never do that, and then she did it for cocktails,

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: so now I feel kind of silly. But it's very

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: close to the yev Nub cocktail, which I've described before,

53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: but it is a lot of alcohol, and in fact,

54
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I've made sure because I did base this on a paloma.

55
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: I guess a paloma is supposed to be equal parts

56
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: alcohol and great fruit juice. But essentially it's two to

57
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: four shots tequila whichever where you're going, and two to

58
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: four shots great fruit to match it, and then one

59
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: ounce lime juice and then top it off with sparkling

60
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: water and then garnished with alapinos if you have the

61
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: know how where with alts and make calpino syrup and

62
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: then put that in there. I added a little of

63
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the basil. Actually it's really nice. So this is differently

64
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: you nub because a it doesn't have basil unless you

65
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: added the basil simple syrup, and it doesn't use gin,

66
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: and it doesn't use the black pepper. And I think

67
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: the thing that's missing because I had admitted earlier, I

68
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: had to cut all this in half. But also I

69
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: needed a little sweetness, which would have been the simple syrup.

70
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: But because you excluded that process, we don't have that

71
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: sweetness in here. So I added a gave which we

72
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: have on hand. Um. And then I also in my shaker,

73
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: I used the helpenos to put into that to add

74
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: that spicy because I will love a good spicy kick.

75
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: It's true. Grapefruit is one of my favorite. Basil is

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: one of my favorites, and helpin you are my favorites.

77
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Like I have a lot of favorites, but yeah, I

78
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: like a good spice grape fruits right up there. I do.

79
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Our favorite drink, which is close to the yub nub

80
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: is something that's a popular here in Atlanta, UH called

81
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: the in the Park, which is all of those things

82
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: with the gin and the basil, and I love, love,

83
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: love love that. Um. This is very nice and tasty,

84
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: very bright. I love the help in your addition to it.

85
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, this is good. I would have I would

86
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: have absolutely done the help in your simple styrup with you.

87
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I get why you didn't. You were trying to make

88
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: it simple and I never made things simple. So it

89
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: was kind of like the two personalities that came clashing together. Well,

90
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: this is funny because it's not that hard, as we

91
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: discussed in the last one. But I was just like,

92
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to make Samantha do it, and then

93
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: you were like, any you have to make this. It's

94
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: just our two different personalities shining. This is easy. You

95
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: can do this. Let's go right. But yeah, because I

96
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: had made the pumpkin spice uh simple syrup type of

97
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: thing before, and it was so easy that I was like,

98
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: this is so crazy. The only problem is because you

99
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: create it, make it out of fresh ingredients, you have

100
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: a small amount of time to use it in those

101
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: One of the things I was worried about was I

102
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: just didn't want it to go to waste. But you

103
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: have your recipe, right, and so it I'm already almost

104
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: two with it. Uh yeah, so that's perfect, right, It's

105
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: gonna be like, for one more drink and you're good.

106
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 1: One of the things that we have not discussed, and

107
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: this might be one of those moments where we are

108
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: getting deeper than anticipated. But I don't think it is.

109
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: But I also know you well enough that sometimes it

110
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: diverts very quickly, So we'll see. We'll see. But why

111
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: do you think it's important? And why are you so

112
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: into naming all of these Star Wars puns? Alright, Samantha

113
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: prepared for a two hour I think I just I

114
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: know people. There are some people who hate puns, and

115
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: they're in our office. Our office is like a house

116
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: divided with people who love puns and people who hate puns.

117
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: And because of that, there was article that circulated as

118
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: many years ago. Um, it was about why people like puns.

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: And when I read it, I was like, yeah, I

120
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: like the fun aspect of it, Like it makes me excited.

121
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: I get excited about it when I find what I like.

122
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm just more thrilled than it is probably appropriate. Um.

123
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: But it's almost like a game. It's like a puzzle.

124
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I know there's something there. I can

125
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: tie it into this, and then you're kind of interweaving

126
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: your passion. In my case for Star Wars, with what

127
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: you think the drink means and the ingredients in it,

128
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: it feels like a mind exercise. For me, it feels

129
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: like a yeah, like a puzzle, like I'm trying to

130
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: solve a rub excube or something. And when I do it,

131
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: it's just so thrilling. And there's like during my Dungeons

132
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and Dragon session, we're almost all of it is just

133
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: Star Wars funds. I get a big thrill out of

134
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: like the kind of groaning, the grudging smiles I get

135
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: out of people when they're like, oh, snowby one Kenobi huh.

136
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I just really like it. It's silly,

137
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: but it's rewarding to me, I guess. And one of

138
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: the things we've talked about for these episodes is it's

139
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: not research. We don't do too much research. We just

140
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: want to sit back and talk. It is kind of

141
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: something that we do selfishly because we want to take

142
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: a break from the deep dives. And I think we've

143
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: talked about how long it takes us to go through

144
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: a researched episode and doing it well and trying to

145
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: get it done appropriately and um as unbiased to a

146
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: certain extent of an ideal of it, and it takes

147
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: a lot out when we go into deep dark episodes,

148
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: and so we decided for things like Happy Hour, we

149
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: just want to let it be and sometimes it takes

150
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: us in a therapeutic level. Sometimes it's just very vapid

151
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and silly, and we love that. But you know, one

152
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: of the things I would say about puns in general,

153
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't do puns well, I can't grasp it. I

154
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: am fairly literal when it comes to things like that,

155
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: like this is silly, what are you doing? Um? But

156
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: I also think it's partially because I can't, like I

157
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: really just can't get into it because I don't have

158
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: that wit when it comes to sarcasm or playing off

159
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: of people's comments or reading people. I can do that

160
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: all day when it comes to puns as a whole

161
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: different level of wit that I can't hit. And I

162
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: really think it takes a lot deeper level of intelligence

163
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: to get to this point, intelligence and imagination. So and

164
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: again this may have everything to do with my own

165
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Like in my trauma, I had to grow up. In

166
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: your trauma, you were able to recede into fantasy, which

167
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: we talked about a lot, and that might have something

168
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: to do with it. I don't know. This is all conjecture,

169
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: This is all an opinion of my own, but from

170
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: what I could gather, people who do puns well are

171
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: highly highly measurative, highly intelligent, and all right quick on

172
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: their feet when it comes to these conversations, which I

173
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: do find funny because you also laugh at your own

174
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: jokes a lot, and that's amazing. That's amazing to be

175
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: able to do that. I find it funny because as

176
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about the episode preceding this one, part

177
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: one about like, okay, can you make this upon without

178
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: it being Star Wars, You're like, I don't refuse and

179
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: not at all, And I find it fun because it's

180
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: more me teasing you than anything else of like, yeah,

181
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: this is kind of that level, Like I'm not into

182
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Star Wars. I can't think of puns, so in my mind,

183
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: like I don't, I'm gonna make it an allegory of

184
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: something rather than a pun, a metaphor of some sort

185
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: instead of a punt. And I really thought that was

186
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: interesting because you do find joy. There are a lot

187
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: of people who find joys, but there are also people

188
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: like this is the lowest point of humor. Why would

189
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: you do those? And I'm like, but can you do it?

190
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. I can't. Yeah, I mean,

191
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's certainly varying degrees of good puns and

192
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: bad puns, and I think there's a place for all

193
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: of them. I do. When I love something, it's hard

194
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: for me not to love it everywhere, So like Star

195
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: Wars puns, star Wars food, star Wars, like, it's hard

196
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: for me not to do that. And I think it

197
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: feels yeah, you know, you're right, We're gonna go deep.

198
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: It feels kind of like a really innocent thing for me.

199
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: It feels like such a a nice time where I

200
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: can just innocently laugh at something that is ridiculous, um

201
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: and find such joy out of something that is ridiculous,

202
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: and I know it and I enjoy it like it's

203
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: a fun over on Saber, every episode we do is

204
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: pretty much a pun. And I send my host over there,

205
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: I send her to thirty punts for her to go

206
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: through and decide which one she thinks is good, because

207
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: probably half of them are very specific to only me,

208
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: you know. But I'll sit there and I'll be laughing

209
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: on a workday, just like this pun about bread. I'm

210
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: on fire today and I know, I just I don't know.

211
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: It just feels like a very light moment. And as

212
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: you said, our jobs can be I mean very very

213
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: grateful for them, obviously, but they can't be hard to

214
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of stuff we talked about, And

215
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: so it's sort of like a nice space that I've

216
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: carved out, um where I get to have this sort

217
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: of innocent joy, right. But also I'm just a big nerd.

218
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: I just like I like giving names to things. I

219
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: like making things into a bigger deal than they have

220
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: any right to be. I like that, and I think

221
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: that's okay. Like this is a whole level of like.

222
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to you and I, our reactions are

223
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: very different because as you like to name things, I

224
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: do not. Um. Even growing up, I realized how odd

225
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I was because I never really gave names to my

226
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: stuffed animals, to the point that I was so on

227
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: the nose that I had a sad story ready. When

228
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I was in the orphanage to come to the US

229
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: after being adopted, my now adoptive parents sent me a

230
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: care package that included a very generic yellow bear, the

231
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: only toy I've ever had, so I've never grown up

232
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: with toys. It was always told to me that I

233
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: could not receive them. It was something that had to earn,

234
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: and I was not good enough to earn. Like I

235
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: was physically told that. Literally they would show it to me,

236
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: put it away, and then it would be discarded. Um.

237
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: So this was the first time I had something that

238
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: was mine and it was youthful. So this was aged six.

239
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: I was getting this before I left. It was stolen,

240
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: and it was stolen because no one in that kind

241
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: of space, none of the kids got things. So obviously

242
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: someone wanted it and it made sense that and I

243
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't push through. It made me sad sentimental wise, but

244
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: it was what it was. Came in to. The US

245
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: had a little like baby shower ish I guess adoption shower,

246
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, shower where I get received guests. And

247
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: I got a duplicate that was blue, so the original

248
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: version was yellow. The long story now that I've made this,

249
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: but because I was so excited and it became my

250
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: favorite woy, I still have it to this day. I

251
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: did not name it for years and realized how odd

252
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: that was in comparison to all the other children that

253
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I have to name it? What

254
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: do I name it? And I named a blooper because

255
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: it was blue and it spelled b l u E

256
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: p e R. Like that's how original I am. But

257
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I could not find the significance to do so. And

258
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: then the childlike love of something, I kept it because

259
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: it was sentimental. It wasn't because you know what I

260
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: mean that there was no passion towards it. I still

261
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: have it, like I said, and it is sentimental, but

262
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: if it disappeared, I'm not sure if I would be sad.

263
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: But all of that to say is like the reaction

264
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: between you and I have are so different that I

265
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: love seeing that also makes me think that I'm the

266
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: abnormal one in the scenario, But I do wish I

267
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: could have formed those attachments, and I think it's very

268
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: healthy that way you can and find that joy. And

269
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: a majority of the people we know in our office

270
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: love this because the inside jobs that happened in our

271
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: office are typically around puns. It's a It's a thing

272
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: to behold everyone. It is a thing to behold. Recently, we've,

273
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, we had to move offices and that

274
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: involved a lot of moving of things, uh into my apartment,

275
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: and as we said, I'm a very sentimental person and

276
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: so I just have so much stuff and I had

277
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: to go through it, and I don't know, I find

278
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: it interesting that it's like you and I had the

279
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: opposite where I was like I had to hold onto

280
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: every shred of everything and you were like he could

281
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: go away at any minute. Yeah. Yeah, there are some

282
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: things that I'm like, oh, and I'm set by because

283
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: I want to. I love it because I like the

284
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: design of it, or I like the aesthetic of it.

285
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: But sentimentality is like I know I should feel this way.

286
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: So this is kind of where the like the reactive

287
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: attachment of like not really knowing but kind of knowing.

288
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to figure that part out, like, Okay,

289
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: this is this is what's considered normal, and so maybe

290
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: I should lean into that. I talked about collections and

291
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: such before and having to pretend like that I had

292
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: deep hobbies like this, But you know, that's that's again

293
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: a different conversation in itself. Again, I knew we were

294
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: going to go a little deep on this, even though

295
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: it was a simple quesum critical silly question, because there's

296
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of death to our humors and our loves

297
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and our passions, and I think it makes it a

298
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: lot of sense, and also like bringing it to craft

299
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: so you will always remember these names. I will always

300
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: forget them and you have to remind me because I

301
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: have no attachment to it. That's kind of the other

302
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: part of that, because the same thing when we do

303
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: uh our Little Star Wars cocktail time, I do remember

304
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: the tattooing sunset and then like that's it. That's almost it. Yeah,

305
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: And I mean you said abnormal and all this stuff

306
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: throughund I don't think that's I have a lot of

307
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: friends who are similar to you, where they don't they

308
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: find it strange that I have like saved every card

309
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: I've ever received, So I don't think it's strange. I

310
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: feel like that's what I know. More of my my

311
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: family are very sentimental in the same way. So that's

312
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: why I'm like hm hmm in this one. I'm the

313
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: one out, odd one out. I mean I think it.

314
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: I think there are gradations, and I think you and

315
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I do have we have very different reactions. But I

316
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: know plenty of people you are not in my circle abnormal,

317
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: And I would never say somebody is abnormal for that.

318
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,000

322
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: good and everything else doesn't matter and it feels So

323
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: I think that I have like an emotional right with

324
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,760
