1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stuff

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I Never told you, a production of iHeartRadio, and today

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: we are really happy to once again share some listener

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: mail with you. We are a bit behind with the

00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: listener mail, but I promise we're getting there. We're getting there, yes,

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: and we really love to hear from you of any

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: of your perhaps funny, memorable holiday memories that we discussed

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: some in our episode about the power of friendships between women,

9
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: anything like that, because we would love to read those,

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: So just send those our way. But yeah, we have

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: a couple that we wanted to read today as were.

12
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: It's such a strange the end of the year, such

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: a strange time because it's like you're getting back into

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the groove from the holiday but getting ready to go

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: on the next boy, right, it's.

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: That weird Like I've read also college, just being like,

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: you know, having that break and then having known you

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: have three weeks of like cramming and testing and then

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: another break and then realizing you got a little while

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: to go before your next break after the bag. Yeah,

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: that was always the hardest.

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forgot about that for exams.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, geez, sorry, good luck. Are thinking of you. Yeah, yeah,

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: school is hard.

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: Hard, is stressful, it is anyway legitimately stressful.

26
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: So hard. So yeah, let's jump into these emails and

27
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: letters and maybe even social media. I don't think we

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: have any, but we'll see anyway. So I got one

29
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: from Catherine and she wrote, Hi, Annie and Samantha. I

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: love Disneyland and happened to be childless by choice. There's

31
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: a trademark here, not really like that. I really hope

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: you trade Martha, Catherine. I like to joke that there

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: are three types of people that go to Disneyland or

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: disney World, as the case may be illustrated by a

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: favorite photo from my last trip in twenty eighteen. So

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: she put people who went to Disneyland as kids and

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: get major nostalgia endorphins when going again, or who are

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: kids and get regular endorphins. This is me, people who

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: love all things Disney and want to experience the pinnacle

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: of the Disney experience going to Disneyland. This is my

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: sister in law and her first Disneyland trip ah. And

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: then people who are dragged to Disneyland by the other

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: two people. This is the two brothers are husbands. Is

44
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: that me? Am? I as a dragged one. I would say,

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: you're like a step above drag Okay, great, great, Yeah, Katherine,

46
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: can you give me aero point five wet rating on that?

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: Because that's so true. But at the same time I

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. I don't go for the nostalgia because I

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: don't have that nostalgia. I don't get very excited about

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: it because I don't know, Like I think I missed

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: so many things in childhood that I'm like, eh, okay,

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: which is weird, but like there were places that I'm like, Oh,

53
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: I do love this. I loved Epcot Center because of

54
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: the experience of like this is traveling without traveling. So

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: I know that's Disney World, but like stuff like that,

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: I guess I would be So I would be the

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: two point three two point five on this scale.

58
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: Oh I like this so like that we're incorporating this

59
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: official and.

60
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: In the I guess I would be in the picture.

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: I'd be right in between the husband and the sister

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: in law.

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I love it. The picture is very cute too, I

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: responded to Catherine, but it came back with the mailer deemon,

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I know, but we.

66
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: Need to your email. Oh she would go she ghosted us.

67
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Well, we liked the message and the picture. If you

68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: are listening, and it is true, I do feel like

69
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: there's the There are these levels of people, adults who go.

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: So this was very fun to read. Another Samantha wrote,

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the Sminty Star Wars episode from this

72
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: year right now. I'm way behind and you mentioned Rogue

73
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: one and it briefly thought you might get a kick

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: of how my husband and I refer to that movie

75
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: as everyone dies the movie.

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you other Samantha, I appreciate that it is true.

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: It is yeah, I got you quicked.

78
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: I just was not being a great friend and forgot

79
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: that not everyone knows everything about Star Wars.

80
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: As you can tell me afterwards. It's the Titanic of

81
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Star Wars.

82
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: It's like obviously they and you were like what anyways,

83
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: you have to go? So love your pads and especially

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: appreciate that any and I are about the same age.

85
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I think I'm thirty four. I've even started my own pod,

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: although it doesn't at least until October thirty first. Actually,

87
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: the book it's on might make a good subject for Sminty.

88
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: It's called Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaros. It's a spicy

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: fantasy novel with dragons. The main character is Violet sore Gail.

90
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: She is twenty years old and has a confirmed disability

91
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Elder's dan Low syndrome. She is a great feminist character

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and how she overcomes all of her

93
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: adversity and how her compassion earns her the most respect

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: where it counts. Didn't want to spoil it for you,

95
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: hmm okay, So the podcast is called The Reader's Quadrant

96
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: if anyone wants to check it out, and I'm definitely interested.

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm definitely interested. That sounds cool to me.

98
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: Great character name, yes, yes, we love that.

99
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: Good character names.

100
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: That's not enough v names. That's not Victoria or Vicky,

101
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, oh yeah right. And then we have

102
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: Caitlin and Caitlyn wrote, I wanted to start with the

103
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: cat pictures, thank you, and I really did love with

104
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: pet cat pictures. But I totally get the love for them.

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: They've gotten me and my partner through individual rough brain times,

106
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: especially when we were all locked down together during the

107
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: big scary times. So me speaking for myself and my partner,

108
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: let no one make you think it's a problem to

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: be child free while taking great care of your pet

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: who thinks of you as their world. It's only a

111
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: problem if you think it is, or when corporate overlords

112
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: are trying to trick you into buying something that really

113
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: isn't for you or your pet.

114
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I might do that.

115
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: I might have bought a couple of outfits anyway. But

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: of luck with Peach's recovery. Those surgeons can do a

117
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: lot of good when they have all the information impossible,

118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: even if it is how worried you are about them.

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Those shaved patches will grow back, and it has very

120
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: fast still there there. In our cat's cases, they grew

121
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: back a different color too. I'm trying to I'm waiting

122
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: for that. Maybe Peaches will have a good surprise for

123
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: you as well. Yeah, so we can see the scarring

124
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: on her, but she looks wonderful. We had a weird

125
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: incident recently over the holidays where she was doing a

126
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: lot of reverse sneezing, which sounds like she's choking a

127
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: little bit. We think that when she stuck her head

128
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: out the window, which she loves to do, like she

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: whines until we do it, let her do that, she

130
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: might have got a bug or something stuck up her

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: nose or her throat. Oh we used and it's not

132
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: a sponsor. Chewi has a VET chat line. You can

133
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: use it anytime and if you're just a member of Chewi,

134
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: you can hook you up with a VET. And I

135
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: talked to them on Thanksgiving morning. Oh wow for free.

136
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: Nice anyway. But okay, she's okay, she's okay. Now I'm

137
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: worried about this really ridiculous dog illness that a lot

138
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: of dogs have been dying from. Oh no, because she's

139
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: been coughing a little bit, but not really and she's

140
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: not around other dogs anyway. But thank you, kat Yeah,

141
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Caitlin the pictures. She did some pictures because I like,

142
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: where's the pittures and they're so cute. And then.

143
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I did get to see my mom's dog, Roxanne.

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who.

145
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Is a hrding dog and its super cute.

146
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: But it hird you.

147
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Oh yes, But this is one of the reasons if

148
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: you listen to our recent happy hour where I was like, Mom,

149
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: you can't do these decorations by yourself. I was like,

150
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: this dog, unless you put her in a different room,

151
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: is going to try to hurt you. When you're carrying

152
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: something heavy, Why are going to be funny when they

153
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: do it too? They just go round and round and

154
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: round and round, and then they sit on your feet

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and then roll over, And I'm like, is this how

156
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: it's supposed to go? Roxanne, I don't know this is

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: how it works? But all right, she's very cute. Here's

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: a letter from unofficial Sminty Olympics correspondent Taylor's who. We

159
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: read a lot of messages from Taylor for Taylor wrote,

160
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm way behind on podcasts, but thanks for doing an

161
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: episode on the World Cup. I had a list going

162
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: then scrapped it when I caught an episode where Annie

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: mentioned she had a friend that was watching the three

164
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: Am Games and we'll be on the show. I love

165
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: the World Cup, but I'm not dedicated enough to loosely

166
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: for it. Fair for Fair, I listened to your episode

167
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: on fandom and your action to the author of Harry

168
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Potter's transphobic remarks. I want to say it's okay to

169
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: feel sad and cry over it. I had a moment

170
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: where I cried too, and didn't know how to sort

171
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: the feelings I had about it. How could this woman

172
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: that promoted tolerance and inclusivity be so exclusive of this

173
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: group of people, it felt like a betrayal. I looked

174
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: at my books and wondered what it said about me

175
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to throw them in the bin.

176
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: I've always been someone that believed that people could change

177
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: for the better, and it took a while to come

178
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: to terms that vice versa could happen too. It does

179
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: get awkward when someone gets me Harry Potter related stuff.

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: I personally don't buy any merchandise in protest, but having

181
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: to explain why to my family is difficult. So you're

182
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: not alone. But I'm sure I'm not the only one

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: that's emailed about it. And then Taylor followed up with

184
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: some fictional characters that we could profile because I had

185
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: asked about this, and I do love hearing suggestions from

186
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: you listeners that kind of get me outside of my box.

187
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Perhaps I decided, instead of waiting together all the stuff

188
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, I'll just send you stuff when

189
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I think of it, even if it's not complete. Shira

190
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: and the Princess of Power, Yes, in Chaptcha and Scorpia.

191
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: I guess you could do a Dora too, and the

192
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: rest of the princesses. Those two are my favorites, though

193
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: the scene where Scorpia has that moment of realization and

194
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: tells Katra you're a bad friend is so heartbreaking. Children's

195
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: slash teen shows didn't have scenes actually relevant to real

196
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: life like that when I was at age. This show

197
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: also has a Dungeons and Dragons episode. Anny, okay, Carmen

198
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: san Diego, Oh, I don't know. The Reboat on Netflix

199
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: was great except for the very last episode of the series.

200
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: There's a reboot apparently game show.

201
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Okay, now we know, and now we

202
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: know Carmen sandie Oh yes.

203
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: Oh yes.

204
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Vultron a legendary defender Princess Alura Pige VLD Pige not

205
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: the original Vultron Pitge. I watched the first five episodes

206
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: of the show. If you don't want to be spoiled

207
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: for reveal that caused a stir among fans, I have

208
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: to say, you're giving a lot of tillating.

209
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, this is why we use her as an

210
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: unofficial correspondence.

211
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Avatar the Last Airbender. Katara literally takes on

212
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: the personification of sexism and the patriarchy in season one

213
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: tof you may want to save her for Disability Awareness Month.

214
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: She's a fan favorite and she's blind. I'm in the

215
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: middle of watching Bodies right now, so I might have

216
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: some live action characters for you soon. Hopefully we'll see

217
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: how the story shakes out. Well, yeah, please please let

218
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: us know. And these are all great suggestions, and I've

219
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: heard I love when I have heard these suggestions from Paul.

220
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I know and watch these shows and are like, you know,

221
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: you should really talk about this character, this character, this show.

222
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: So she was a good one. I had a friend

223
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: of a friend actually did know her, but not really well.

224
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: And she was named after that character. And I'm like, yes, yes,

225
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: whoever your parent is.

226
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I haven't seen I haven't seen it, but

227
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: I've been told that I should definitely watch it and

228
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: I would like it.

229
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm thinking if people like the Gargoyles, that you probably

230
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: would like this. Oh yeah, well again, I don't know.

231
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: I'm guessing there's a reboot, there is a newer one, okay,

232
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: because like mine is the eighties version, and I didn't

233
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: watch many cartoons, but I know I remember it enough,

234
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: being like.

235
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: She's powerful and I love her. Yes, and she's got

236
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: a giant sword. I definitely want to talk about it.

237
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: I definitely want to talk about it. A friend of

238
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: the show, Lauren told she was she suggested it to me.

239
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: She was like, you should really talk about that one.

240
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, an eighties.

241
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: Yeah anyway, yes, suggestion, Oh so many, get so many

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: great suggestions. Thank you.

243
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: And then Melissa wrote, this is mostly for Samantha, but

244
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: feel free to join Annie. Yeah, feel free to joining.

245
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Have you heard of the documentary Twinsters. I really love

246
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: it. It's sad and great, both of those.

247
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: Girl.

248
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna no, I have not heard of it,

249
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: and I'm very intrigued. I feel like it can help

250
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: you or you can relate to it because it's about

251
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: two Korean born twin girls who were separated and adopted

252
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: at birth. They were adopted into two different families. I

253
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: think I know what she's talking about though worlds away,

254
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: and through the magic of technology and social media, they

255
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: found each other and documented their journey. They just came

256
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: out with a tenure anniversary video. I always wanted a

257
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: twin someone else's share things with and to confide in.

258
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: I do come from a Biggish family, but I don't

259
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: feel connected to them, and they refuse to connect with me.

260
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: I always felt different and left out. So this documentary

261
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: helped me have faith in people and the world to

262
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: trust that it's okay to feel lonely but I am

263
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: not alone, to trust the world and the kindness of others.

264
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: It makes me cry, but it's also great for my soul.

265
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: It has always given me inspiration to write a book,

266
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: but I'm so busy with life here in California. Understand that,

267
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: and writing a book takes a lot. But I think

268
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about because I think in

269
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: my mini research, I think it pops up as a

270
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: a conversation because I also think about the connection between siblings,

271
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: because I go back and forth about whether or not

272
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: I have a sibling, remembering siblings, but not sure if

273
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: there are real siblings, step siblings, or half siblings even

274
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: after the fact, obviously, but I have to check that out. Twinsters,

275
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: and I understand. I understand that family disconnect and we

276
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: love you, We're here for you, Yeah, we do. I'm

277
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: sorry then you feel that, but yeah, to have found

278
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: family or in family, that's a different world. That can't

279
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: help for sure.

280
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, absolutely, I also wanted a twin but it

281
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: was because I was in love with Mary Kay and Ashley,

282
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: that's right, and I just wanted to be like them.

283
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: When I would the twins that I had met growing

284
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: up and them having their own language, Yeah, that was fascinating.

285
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: I had a group of those that was like just

286
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: siblings that were close in age, and the younger one

287
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: to me spoke nonsensical language that the older sibling could

288
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: understand and would interpret for them, and I was like, wow,

289
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: what is that?

290
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I feel like I kind of

291
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: have that with you.

292
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: You do interpret my like like my just hints essentially

293
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: our charades, my charades rather And I think I said

294
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: that too my partner during the holiday. At one point

295
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: I was like, you know that things like I have. No.

296
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: He was getting more and more frustrated, like if any

297
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: was here, she'd know.

298
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, okay. And then lastly, we have

299
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about this one, but it does have

300
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: a lot of pronunciation in it that I looked for

301
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find. So I'm very sorry upfront. I'm

302
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna do my best, but this is really cool. This

303
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: was about our Urban Legends episode that we reran about

304
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: women in urban legends. So Angela wrote, I hope I'm

305
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: not too late. I'd like to introduce you to some

306
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: legendary women I came across on my summer holiday in

307
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: South Tehral. During an easy hike, we came across a

308
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: wooden sculpture of Sevige of Mogronda. Again, I'm sorry, by

309
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the way, only the English translation uses the word els

310
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: that would be Elvin and German Selviga seems to be

311
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: its own expression. My only connotation would be Selviga blessed.

312
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Because I didn't capture the whole English text of the

313
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: sign in my photo, which yes, there are two photos

314
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: attached of the statues and then of a plaque explaining them,

315
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: I have translated it for you. Siliga women used to

316
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: live in Magronda Knots. They were wise women who were

317
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: hardworking and helped the farmers with their work, but always

318
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: decided for themselves how they wanted to live. They never

319
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: revealed their names and always made it a condition that

320
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: they were not to be asked about it, otherwise they

321
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: would have to go back to their caves immediately. The

322
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: Slrigan of Magronda always helped the farmers on the nearby

323
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: val Danes and Molten Meadows. Every year, the same sliga

324
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: would come to a young farmer to help with the

325
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: hay harvest. The young farmer fell in love with her.

326
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: He wished nothing more than that she would come with him,

327
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: but since she did not want this, he resorted to

328
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: a ruse. When the hay work in the meadow was

329
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: almost finished, he tied her foot to the meadow tree.

330
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: When she noticed this, she began to cry bitterly, broke

331
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: away and disappeared on the spot. In the family of

332
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: the farmer, it is said to this day there was

333
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: always someone limping, oh yeah, cursed yeah, and then the picture.

334
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: It is very striking. I have to say, if I

335
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: saw that on a hike, I turn around.

336
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: Someone's about to get me.

337
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: But that's a I mean, it's a heartbreaking story, but

338
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: it is. That's a classic, like urban legend, right.

339
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe we haven't heard this one, I know.
