Here's a little bit of how 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: it sounded. We really enjoyed listening to you from far away. Yes, 22 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: we feel like we know you in that weird podcast way. 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: I love. I love the magic of podcasts for that. Well, 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited to keep listening to stuff. And I've never 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: told you myself listen. We know, we know that transitions 26 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: can be a little bit awkward sometimes, but here it's sminty. 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: We're all about radical transparency. So we figured why not 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: let y'all join in on the awkward fun. So Eves 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: and and I met for drinks at Ladybird, what of 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta's best bars, just to chat and get to know 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, but do you guys do that? Chairs 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: and then put down our cheers? And it depends. I'm 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: not as serious about it as some people are. You know, 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: some people are to do that. And I've heard people say, oh, 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: if you cheers and you don't look people in the eyes, 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: it's bad. Oh you'll have that sex or sex that's that. 37 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: I think I must have done that seven years ago. 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: I'm but any day I would like that. Yeah, it's 39 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: the only explanation I believe. Um tapping this if you 40 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: type your glass on the table and hungry. That means 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: you're it needs to be a political statement, and it 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: meant you like with the revels and bad thing. Wait, so, 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: any I always forget that you are this wacky food expert, 44 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: so you know probably all these you know details about 45 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: food and eating and culture that most people wouldn't know. Yeah. 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: I try very hard to keep it um manageable nursery. 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: So at a party, I try not to scare people away. 48 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: Did you know that food you're eating has this huge 49 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: history and all of its fascinating and they're looking at 50 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: me with terror in their eyes, like I'm just trying 51 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: to eat. I didn't get alone. I can not know. 52 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: That's another level. Okay, are we ready for the question? 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: All right, what what's your first job? Okay, I'll kick 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: it off. I guess um, it's not that interesting. Um. 55 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: So I worked at Ingles was my first job, which 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: is a grocery store. If that's not like a national chanin, 57 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, I because they're not um. But I 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: was a cashier. That's like a typical first job, I guess, um, 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: and I didn't love it. I feel like most people 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: can't agree with that. Um, there were really no interesting 61 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: things that happened to me while I was there, was 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: just like very wrote, Um, but I guess if we're 63 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: talking jobs, do jobs who weren't paid for account as 64 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: jobs like following your jobs. So when I was like, 65 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: I think I was around ten years old, Um, I 66 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: had a summer in quotes job um in Columbia, South 67 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Carolina at a library, which was like, I love even 68 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: though I didn't do anything at all there, like reorganized 69 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: some things and whatnot. It wasn't like a super elaborate job, 70 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: but I loved it because I got to be around 71 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: books like at all the whole time I was there. Yeah, 72 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: so yeah, what about y'all. Well, before I answer, I 73 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: do want to say, uh, like a couple of months ago, 74 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: I was in an Angles for the first time in years, 75 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: and they still have that video rental section, and I 76 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: took pictures of it because I was like, this still exists. Yeah, 77 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: we didn't have that at Art. But the vestige of 78 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the past that we that Angles do have is they 79 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: don't have conveyor belts like people still. People still it's 80 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: a grocery store. I've never heard of visit in Atlanta. 81 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: I think it might be, Yeah, it might be a 82 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: Southern thing. I mean, I've never heard of it, so 83 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: I believe you people have to push I feel like 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: if I'm bashing Eagles right now, but people have to 85 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: push their grocery cards up to the things still and 86 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: the cashiers have to unload it, which I feel like 87 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it does back like a backt. Yeah, you're basically saying 88 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: you're going to see your former employer, like if you're 89 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: listening Bengals, We Americans are very litigious. This is true. 90 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: It's true. I applied for a job at Ingles and 91 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: did not get it, so still still have to worry. 92 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: It's okay, you're not missing out on anything. Yeah, I've 93 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: never heard of the store. Now I want to find one. 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: Bengals or Ingles singing Les, Yeah, there's fir some around here. 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: The first thing I think that I had as a 96 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: job is when I was nine, I worked for my uncle, 97 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: Adam Marina. My uncle is rich, by the way, and 98 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: I was hoping to get like a big paycheck. But 99 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: it was a life lesson because I got to the 100 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: end of the summer of working there and I'm like, okay, 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: I pay off, and he said, well, we never agreed 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: on terms, so here's a Snickers bar. And to this 103 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: day it's like imprinted a life lesson on me that 104 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: your uncle wasn't. You know, there's larch than getting nothing. 105 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm really amazed that you 106 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: waited until the end of the summer to act for anybody. 107 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: And I like talking about terms, right, And he knew 108 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: just to you know, twist of the NiFe. He knew 109 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: I didn't like sick whatjure? That really sucks, But you know, 110 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: a hard work ethic. That's what I learned. As he 111 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: likes to say, Um, did you eat the Snickers? No? 112 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: What did you do with it? I think I just 113 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: stared at it sadly. The melton An insart his car. 114 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: It was Rodeo Revenge. I know nothing best now accurate? Yeah, 115 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: definitely not. I think my first real job was working 116 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: at those fancy booths at football stadiums. Oh man, I 117 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: know so little about football and revealing myself. But where 118 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: where people get the boxes? Yeah? Oh yeah, that box, 119 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: yeah tonight, and I would bring in. I would load 120 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: in all of their alcohol and food and then take 121 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: your orders. And the best part about that job was 122 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: at the end they were all so drunk and I 123 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: have to make sure they got home safely. But they 124 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: would give me all of their food because they were 125 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: too drunk to realize. You maybe I could keep this, 126 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: Oh have it, have it so I would have food 127 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: for weeks, which is in the college studios prest great. 128 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Do you have any horror stories that really stand out 129 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: in your mind from that time? I had one woman 130 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: who was determined too. I don't know if drive homes 131 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: what she was going to do, but she was not 132 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: going to let me get her safely in a car, 133 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: and I was trying to convince her and she was 134 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: not having it. And she fell over the stairs, the 135 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: stair railing, and she was fine, but I was terror 136 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: fight that this woman might have just died. And it 137 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: was good to be Oh my god, she just got up. 138 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: It's kind of star water, John. People tend to be 139 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: pretty resilient, get hurt, they tend to be right. What 140 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: about you? So my first job, I don't know if 141 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you could really call it a job, but my mom 142 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: is a patrician and she has her own private practice, 143 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: and so I spent many summers filing and checking in 144 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, um patients all that. It was a terrible 145 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: employee actually have been fired many times, luckily and my 146 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: mom kept me around. Um, it was a good job. 147 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: It was interesting to see different parents and their kids 148 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: and sort of the challenges that that come of parenthood. 149 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: And so I feel like literally age was interesting to 150 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: see to be in that environment. So I don't actually 151 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: don't know that I got paid, though she'll probably follow 152 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: some sort of labor disappeared like years slavers some favorite Yeah, 153 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: she better watch out. My first page job was in 154 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: a movie there. I love movies, m mak a movie person, 155 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: and as in high school, I worked at the popcorn 156 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: count out of movie theater in my hometown, and I 157 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: worked from doing concessions to doing projection. And so when 158 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I finally worked my way up from concessions to projection, 159 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't the best because you basically got to watch 160 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: movies all day and her free and and so you basically, 161 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, you've got to be by yourself in a 162 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: little room, um, watching movies, And the worst part of 163 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: the job was having to make sure that there was 164 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: no I guess you might say riff raff going on 165 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: in the theater. You can imagine this is also a 166 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: small town, so you can imagine like the kind of 167 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: thing people would try to do in small town movie theaters, 168 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: and so, you know, it's like a little high school bridget, 169 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, all and ten pounds of her. It was 170 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: my job to make sure that there was no riff 171 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: or funny business going on. As it. I wasn't great 172 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: at that. I mean usually I have would be like 173 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: unless someonez like legit doing something that they shouldn't be doing, 174 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: I usually slid it slide. Yeah, I hope my old 175 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: manager doesn't hear that. We're gonna make sure that happens. Yeah, 176 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm imagine like project projectionist, that was your title, like right, 177 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: I just feel like there's just so much aura around 178 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: that title. I don't know, do you do you know 179 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about? Like there's a certain mistique about 180 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: the projection now, is there? Yeah? Well, I think there 181 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: used to be, and not no slight against you, Bridget, 182 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: but I think it used to be a thing a 183 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: skill involved, because you had to wait for the sigarette 184 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: bird and he would move out. But I want to 185 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: be very clear, by the time I was doing this, 186 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: it was not a job that involved a lot of skill. 187 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: So I think I'm back in the day. I've heard 188 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: like back in the day it was like more you know, 189 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: at least making sure that nothing went wrong. I wasn't really. 190 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: It was kind of like on its own. I would 191 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: love to do them. We see a movie Fight Club 192 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: when he's able to like swap out them. I never 193 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: had that that chance. It was nothing that, you know, 194 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: not something I could do, but I could make it happen. 195 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: That would be a it's a lifelong dream just to 196 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: like swap out the movie that it's supposed to be playing. 197 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: It's like another movie. Yeah, we can make you check 198 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: it off the bucket list. I mean, it wouldn't be 199 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: as nefarious as in Fight Club. Would be more like 200 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: you came to see Hot Tub Time Machine and you 201 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: are watching this obscure documentary about French art enjoy I 202 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: when I was in middle school he seven grade, Me 203 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: and my friend tried to go see Troy and we 204 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: were under age, and my friend she wore a shirt 205 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: that had the year on it and said clearly she 206 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: was in seventh grade. Yes, in track clubs. And so 207 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: they read the shirt and would get at it. Here 208 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: you uligans track clothes. That amazing. So we bought tickets 209 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: to see some kids ice age or something, and we 210 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: went we snuck into Troy. But it's still stick says 211 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: that she worked that. Sure, she's not experienced all sneak. 212 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: I gotta say, sneaking into the movies it was a 213 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: very early, like, you know, slightly scandalous joy of mine 214 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: as a youth. Know, but I could take it to 215 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: one movie and see another, you know, doing a double 216 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: teature for fraid speaking candy into the movies. That was 217 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: like a big, early, fun, nefarious thing that I loved 218 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: me too. The one of the first times I got 219 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: in trouble was because I had a nightmare about raptors 220 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: and my parents were asking me, why did you have 221 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: this nightmare? You haven't seen any movies with dinosaurs and 222 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: it have you? Because they knew I'd snuck into see 223 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: Drastic Park, And eventually I had to admit i'd defress up. Yeah, 224 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I know about a raptors. Mom, I know, thinks I like, 225 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: how that's the scandalous movie out of all the movies 226 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: you could have seen. Like sneaking, it wasn't a big 227 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: thing for me, though, I don't I feel like i've 228 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I ever did it. Honestly, the only 229 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: thing I can remember about going into a like R 230 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: rated movie with my parents and I was young, and 231 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: it was Stigmata, which is a movie. It's a movie 232 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: that like haunted me and was like my like the 233 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: scariest movie for me for a long time. And that's 234 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: when I was so young. And it is pretty intense 235 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of actual blood, like you know 236 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: how like how they actually people die but you don't 237 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: see the blood to her. Yeah, And um, I remember 238 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: specifically somebody saying on the way out, and I don't know, 239 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: it's like ninety nine. I don't remember when that movie 240 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: came out, but um, somebody's saying, like to my mom, 241 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: you took your kid to see this, you know. I 242 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: don't remember what happened after that, But I have two 243 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: things to say about that. One. Again, I feel like 244 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: I'm like bashing my parents in this way, but I'm 245 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: doing it lovingly. I had the kind of parents that 246 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: would take us to like pretty intense movies when we 247 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: were very young. They were like, we're not paying for 248 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: a babysit there, Like you're gonna come with us. It's 249 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: ive seen like pretty intense movies. You're thinking, you know, 250 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: what kind of person picks their kid to this movie? 251 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: Is like my parents, I've seen a lot of scary movies. 252 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: I remember going to see Chucky when it was in years. 253 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I must have been like five, and I to this 254 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: day I am like terrified of Chucky. Like really as 255 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: an adultment, it's understandable. But yeah, I was um at 256 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: a movie pretty recently. Um, something that was It was 257 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: get Out and I remember hearing a baby I could 258 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: infant try and somebody shouted out, am I gonna have 259 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: to punch an Indian? But it isn't like co would 260 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: bring their They're like it was like a baby who 261 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: would bring their baby to a movie? Like right right, 262 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: that's terrible. Um. Yeah, so don't bring your baby to 263 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: the movies unless a movie for babies. Babies. When I 264 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: was nine, Um, we could just talk about movies this 265 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: whole time. Yeah, this is that would be great. My 266 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: I went to visit my family in Florida for the 267 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: first time, and my cousins wanted to go see Air 268 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: Force Warm. I was too young, but they snuck me 269 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: in through the back and you see this movie and 270 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: I had a fear at the time already of Gary 271 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: Oldman and then I see him in this movie and 272 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: it's just I knew it. So later that night, I 273 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: was left alone in the hotel and I saw this 274 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: white band. I bid it was spraying some kind of 275 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: fog and I didn't know what it was, but I 276 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: thought it was terrorist Gary Oldman for me, and I 277 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: thought I was going to die truly. So I opened 278 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: the fridge and I found a pack of Fresca, which 279 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: I thought was beer because I wanted to get drunk 280 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: one time before I died. And nine okay, and I 281 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: drank six fresca, look down them all, and then I 282 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: thought I was the worst bubble ever. Yeah, he's like 283 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: this felt sick. I thought he was drunk, but I wasn't. 284 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: But I guess the caffeine under like the feeling of me. 285 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: I am drunk. I ran outside, scre mean, we're all 286 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: going to die. They are terrorists. I'm running by hotel 287 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: room saying that, and I ran past my aunt's hotel 288 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: room and I fell and broke my ankle inside like 289 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: a little water drainage thing. And my guessing's got such 290 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: big trouble. So I have a question, how many times 291 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: have you broken a limb? Or something on your body. 292 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm really going to be a lot because of that story. Cry, 293 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing clumsy. So you're used to like the whole 294 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: healing process and like going through about the trooper. Damn. 295 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I also have thirteen concussions. Oh my god. And my 296 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: doctor seriously was trying to get me to wear some 297 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: type of helmets in my everyday life and I said, 298 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I can't do it.

Um, 305 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: it's because I've broken it so many times. First time 306 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: I broke and I was a child of four or 307 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: five and never quite feels tractually. And so I told 308 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: this story on the podcast. It's not one that makes 309 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: me look very good. But when I was in college, 310 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: I was sitting I was in a party and I 311 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: was sitting in the window or like no, I was 312 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: sitting on a like a I guess the window is right, 313 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Like it's like a large window balcony situation. And somebody 314 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: was going around with a cooler throwing beers at people. 315 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: And I saw that this guy I was trying to impress. 316 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: It was like when I wanted to pick on like 317 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: a cool you know, cool girls. I was like, hey, 318 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: throw me beer, and the guy threw me a beer 319 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: and I just went over the bones.

When somebody says like, oh, did 402 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: you read the book, and I say yes, I actually 403 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: means no, but I saw the movie, read the Wikipedia 404 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: about the book, you know whatever, I'm like, I read it, 405 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: and he's like, she didn't read it. If I'm like 406 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: lying about books I've read for a long time, now 407 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: get a long career of lying. I feel like too, 408 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: that the Internet hasn't been like is a major part 409 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: of that, because you just have so much You may 410 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: be reading a book, but you're also reading a ton 411 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: of articles in the Internet at the same time, and 412 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: that's taking up a lot of your reading. Tis I 413 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: noticed that in college because I was such a voracious 414 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: reader all through elementary school, middle school, high school, and 415 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: what I got college. I had so much assigned reading 416 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: that I was reading, but it was never anything that 417 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: I was very plumped about reading. So and that was 418 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: It's sort of distanced me from reading for a while 419 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: because it was I was reading for work, for school, 420 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: but not for pleasure. You didn't want to read James 421 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: Joyce's You Listen, Man? I read it? Yeah, Um yeah, 422 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean I have had some great luck, George. I 423 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: went to Georgia Tech, which is a technical school, but 424 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: they made me take one liberal arts class, and I 425 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: was fortunate and that the teacher, it was a big 426 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: sci fi apocalypse kind of fan, and he on his 427 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: reading list was Octavia et Butler like these books that 428 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: I loved, so in that case and that one particular 429 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: class in my entire culture, I didn't enjoy the assigned reading. 430 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: And every book I read, I'm so glad I read. 431 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: And a lot of books I've read that I didn't like, 432 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: I am glad I read them, even if they were difficult. 433 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: Let's feel I have a I am a PhD dropout. 434 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: I was trying to get a PhD in literature, which 435 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: is a lot of reading, and I ended up not 436 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: finishing it, to my to the horror of my parents 437 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: and family. Um, but I felt the same way right 438 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: that I loved reading. But once it became clear that 439 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: in order to graduate with my doctorate. It was just 440 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: depended on me being able to like get through just 441 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: like massive massing, like academic essays. I'm sure I just 442 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: like did not care about, and so it will be 443 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: like I would beat a book that I loved and 444 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: then I had to read like ten academic explorations of 445 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: that book, where I was like, you know, I just 446 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: want to read a book. And that was I mean, 447 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: there were many reasons why I dropped out, but that 448 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: was a big one, feeling like I had to. I 449 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: had picked something that I was passionate about to study 450 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: and make my life and my career around. But that 451 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: that was actually kind of a mistake because during that 452 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: time in my life, I like now that for fun 453 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: or for pleasure. I never wrote for fun or for plussure. 454 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: I just was it has become so mechanical, strained out 455 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, that's understandable. That's another thing for me 456 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: is I like writing, and so sometimes when I'm reading, 457 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, I could be writing sometimes to struggle. Yeah, 458 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: somehow it feels like I'm doing war when I'm writing, 459 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: even though reading is very valuable and totally legitimate. But 460 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: I guess writing is this kind of action that's happening 461 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: that you can see progress. So I have trouble I'll 462 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: be reading my I could just be oh writing. That's 463 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: a constant life struggle for me too, because it's like 464 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm reading, and this is for inspiration. 465 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: Like when I'm writing, I'm like, if I lose a 466 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: little bit of inspiration, I'm like, oh, like, let me 467 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: go to reading. I'll get some inspiration from there. And 468 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: then I get there and I'm like, while am I 469 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: wasting my time? We're not gonna actually the writing. So yeah, 470 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: it's always that like back and forth from back and 471 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: forth cycle for me too. Yeah, and I keep trying 472 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 1: to remind myself reading is a different and equally valuable 473 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: thing and it does help with the writing. It's it's 474 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: hard to separate and you feel like, oh, well, I'm 475 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: having fun doing this. I should be working because we're 476 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: always hours counting, right with all the things that we're doing. 477 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's like my least favorite thing about myself 478 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: is like if I'm just reading, I'm enjoying something somehow, 479 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: it's like I'm not doing something productive, but it actually 480 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: it's productive. Like when you're reading, you know your sitouncers 481 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: are firing and you're trump flexing your creative muscles.

I 646 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: would have thought that I would have kept it forever, 647 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: because like at one point, downloading music was like the 648 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: only thing I did after I did my homework like 649 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: it was my second homework, you know what I mean, 650 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: Like back when downloading music was a lot easier LimeWire 651 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: remember her husband on lime Wire one of the la function. Yeah, 652 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: I've never even used a chat function. Yeah, there was 653 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: a chat function. And she moved and Sweden to be 654 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: with this guy. They're still together. Love story. Yeah, if 655 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: the Lonnie is the city to this, she'll be like, 656 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: oh that's me, shout out to Wan and they're not 657 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: sin together and season that wasn't noise. The love stories work, Yeah, 658 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: but there in terms, like a point when, um, like 659 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: all that music that I had collected over all that time, 660 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: my laptop was stolen and I was and I hadn't 661 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: backed it up. But the part that really like, um, 662 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: the part that made me really sad was that I 663 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: had tried to back everything up before and it didn't work. 664 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: My computer was just like, this doesn't happen, and like 665 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: I felt, I had so much regret about like not 666 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: trying again to do it. But now like after I 667 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: had to convince myself that this was a thing that 668 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: like happened purposefully. I was just like, you know, this 669 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: was a purging, like it was meant to start I 670 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: was meant to start over. And now you live in 671 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: an age of Spotify, like you don't even need to 672 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: have physical or like downloaded copies and music still the clown. Yeah, 673 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: music was a big that was my thing. It to 674 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: me still, it was a big part of my upbringing. Um, 675 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,479 Speaker 1: when I was great young. This is kind of tragic story. 676 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: My first boyfriend we met because we're both in choir 677 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: together and I loved music and he loved music, and 678 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: he was a singer. I possibly trained the singer with 679 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: a beautiful voice, and we both went to like we 680 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: both were had pretty conservative religious upbringings until the only 681 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: music that I really had in my life was like 682 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: very clean, wholesome music like early Beatles, right. And when 683 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: I started getting into like more experimental music, I remember 684 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: specifically it was so a huge. I was so excited 685 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: and I remember being like, you have to listen to 686 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: this this this band I found. They're amazing, and he 687 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: listened to it and he was like, I don't feel 688 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: like I get it, and he was like really he 689 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: was really into like choir music, and I ever like 690 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: I had to break up with him because I was like, yo, 691 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,479 Speaker 1: I could feel myself like getting really into bands and music, 692 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: and I thought like that we can't share this, like 693 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: then what is this? And so we broke up and 694 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: it was very tragic. And now that guy is like 695 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: a famous pop star in Korea. When you talk, he's like, 696 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: it's funny how you duped be because I listened to 697 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: music which one of us is a famous musician now 698 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: and I love, oh, hey, you're right, but this is 699 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: too strong.
