We're recording this before the New Year because 10 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: we're about to try to take some time off. UM. 11 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: But in theory, do you have an a New Year's 12 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: plans anything you're excited about doing well? As you know, 13 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: I would rather I am a person that remains at home. 14 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things my anxiety does not like 15 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: the idea of being on the road during this time. 16 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Whether it's because there's a lot of law enforcement out 17 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: and about right the nab people up for anything and everything, 18 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: or if it's just because it's pain and conducing to 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: hang out with people. And also the and we've talked 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: about this many times, the over over hypeness of the 21 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: expectations of what New Year's is supposed to be, so 22 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: sometimes it's just nice to be at home, enjoy, do 23 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: a little toast and then go to bed. Maybe even 24 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: before the New Year's who knows. Um, but I will 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: be doing our traditional mills. You know, we've talked about 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: this before. Probably going to be ordering from the restaurant 27 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: that I've ordered previously because it's been very convenient and 28 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: a lot of food, pretty pretty good deal. The black 29 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: eyed peas, the colored green, some type of pork, all 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: of that. So definitely be doing that. That's the only 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: thing I know for sure. What about you? Yeah, I'm 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: making I make my super alrety about the ingredients because 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: there's been so many shortages that I'm not gonna mess 34 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: with that because I just put like canned peas and 35 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: colored greens and chicken broth and then sausage and make 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: a sweep and it's great and that's the best thing. 37 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: So I got that. I got my champagne. Um, I 38 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: always watched you as you know, I gotta play some 39 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: of my favorite game. I gotta watch my favorite movie. 40 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: And then I got a plane when it's going to 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: be the next day, which would probably be some of 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: the same things. So I gotta be careful with that 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: we were talking about. I also would like to spend 44 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: it mostly alone or like mostly not doing like parties 45 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: and stuff, because I did that last year and it 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: was amazing and I am tired. Everybody. I think I'm 47 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: all tired. I think we're all tired. UM. I've had 48 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: it like for the past two weeks. I've had a 49 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: lot of people hanging out with and it's fun and 50 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: it's great, but I'm tired. I'm trying to not do it. 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: We'll see because as we've been talking about with why 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: people pleasing, I don't know what's going to happen. So 53 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: it's fun because this episode is coming out after all 54 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: of this has already gone down, well, check back in 55 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: and talk about it. UM. And we have been discussing 56 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: kind of our our year in wrap up and things 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: like that. UM. We did have a couple of things 58 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: have happened since then. For one, we had a Sminty 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: team meeting, which was very enlightening, UM. Very cool to 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: see people, even though it was over video conference, UM, 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: but to hear what people are excited about and what 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: we're going to try to do in the next year. 63 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: And as always, listeners, we love hearing from you, what 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: you like, what you want more of, what do you 65 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: think we need? But I do think we're we came 66 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: up with some some plans that we're both excited about, 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: and one of them is, you know, hopefully getting more guests. Yes, yes, 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: as you know, we really love doing the activists around 69 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: the world UM and we've talked about how that's the 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: shorter segment, trying to get as much information and a 71 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: lot of the times with people doing the things today 72 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: still or now were limited in all the information that 73 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: we can gather. We try to do it internationally also 74 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: limits us with that, but we still think there's an 75 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to be able to bring on guests to talk 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: about what they are doing and the impact they're making 77 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: in their community, and we think that's something that we 78 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: should all celebrate. So we're gonna try to do a 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: little more guests stuff not often. Again, schedules happened, I 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: think complications happened. We know this UM this year the 81 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: last two years being at home, doing our recording from 82 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: home kind of limited us for those who especially for 83 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: those who have never done a podcast, equipment is a 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: whole different thing. So you know, as a hope crush 85 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: your fingers. Um. Yeah, definitely something that we were wanted 86 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: to do. There's some amazing people that we've already gone 87 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: on a list, honestly, have started our list of guests 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: that we would love to have. We have people who 89 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: write to us, whether it is publicist or whether it 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: is um agents and trying to get to us. Those 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 1: that are actually on par with what we are talking about, 92 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: we are definitely interested in. So uh, if you have 93 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: someone that you know of that you think it would 94 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: be great, great guests, not just for the activists around 95 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: the world, but whether it's an amazing book or a 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: movie or a documentary, we love those. Whether there are 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: distributors like as in then beverage industry or whatever whatnot. 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Love that. Also want to do a quick shout out 99 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: because we did meet up with our team, but yes, 100 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Maya and Christina and Joey who was a part of 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: the Sminty family. They are amazing. Hopefully we'll have them 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: on more and more. That's what that's the other part 103 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: we need to do to Yes, yeah, because this would 104 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: not happen without a team, and we really do have 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: an amazing team. It was it was cool to see 106 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: everybody and hear what people were excited about, what their 107 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: interests were.

I like that people 114 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: are excited about different things that they're working on. That's 115 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: very important to us that it doesn't become something that's 116 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: totally miserable, as much as you might hear is kind 117 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: of complain we're tired or whatever.
