1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Steph.

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I never told your protection of I heart radio. Yes,

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: and welcome to another edition of Happy Hour. I don't

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: want to echo in that one. I don't know why

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Christina I need an echo in this way. And just

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: at the very top, well, you know how we say

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: keep it together ish, meaning drink responsibly, however that applies

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: to you, whatever way that applies to you, meaning if

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: you don't need to be drinking, don't drink. If you

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: don't need to be drinking caffee, don't drink that. If

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: you don't need to be listening to this maybe not,

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: don't don't do that either. Who knows. Just be responsible,

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: do what is best for you. Two at the beginning

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: of the year, ISH, we're going to keep it like that. Also,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: just another reminder, the drinks, typically, unless we are noting it,

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: are not sponsored by whomever we are talking about, So

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: this rum is not our sponsor. And the room we

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: are specifically talking about today is Cassama Rum, which is

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: a Philippines based slash New York based rum founded by

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: Alexandra Dorda, whose family is all about good spirits. Actually,

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: her father is the founder of Belvedere Vodka. I think

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: she is. I'm gonna understand Polish, and her mother is

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: from the Philippines, so that is part of our heritage.

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So you can say this that this industry is a

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: part of her heritage. Obviously. Cassama is the Filipino word

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: for together. According to their site, I did see it

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: also saying a companion, so like being together a friendship,

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I guess, and that was her intent to bring people

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: together over good drinks, sunshine and good vibes. Go check

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: out her side if you're questioning where I'm getting this,

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: and the company describes the rum as quote distilled from

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: a freshly pressed noble kine juice then aged in American

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: oak barrels. Casama has all the flag verse of the tropics,

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: sweet pineapple, a hint of vanilla, and just a pinch

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: of sea salts and uh, just in case you're wondering

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: any In an interview she did with Kitchen dot Com

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: the k I t h N dot Com, she says

38
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: about the rom quote the taste profile, it's very different

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: from many other RUMs out there. The golden color is

40
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: because it's an aged rum that lays for seven years

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: in oak barrels. It's not heavily spiced, and it's not

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: overly sweet, which many consumers expect RUM to be. Like,

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: is very light, it's very simpable, and it has really

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: beautiful tropical notes of pineapple and vanilla. And yeah, in

45
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: that same innter of you, she talked about how she

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: wanted her brand to be a little different and that

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: typically we see and she's right that the brains we

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: see are like, you know, pirates and going out to

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: see and all these things that she wanted to keep

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: it tropical and fun, and the bottle itself has some

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: really beautiful colors. I really did like it a lot,

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: very much jumped out in front of you, like, yes,

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I need this Rum. So Adi, did you take a sip?

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: I did take a sip. As I said before on

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: past episodes, I like to take one sip straight to

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: get a feel for it, and then I usually make

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: a drink with it. And I agree with what Alexandra said.

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: It's very very simple. It is sweet, like it was

59
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: sweet at the front, but it's not like overly sweets

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: and I definitely picked up on that like kind of

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: tropical vanilla thing. And I know we say this all

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: the time. But it's true. Again, it was very smooth,

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: like it didn't really have much of a burn right

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: or anything. It just was like, oh yeah, kind of

65
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: that I that was describes the emotion in my mouth.

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: That's kind of what happened, the sounds your mouth made.

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I would definitely agree with that. He apparently

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: really likes to do things with coconut water in the room,

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: and I did see that in their recipes. So if

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: y'all need some recipe ideas, they've got some amazing ones.

71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: And I definitely taste that coconut that at the ending

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: with that vanilla, that very sweetness to it, but it

73
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: has that little slight edge of the burn. But I

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: think it's liquor, always liquor. But it's still smooth and

75
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: definitely could be sipped over something. I could just put

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: a pineapple, piece of pineapple in it. I don't think

77
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: i'd be okay with it. Not too heavily oaky. Surprisingly

78
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I assumed it would be because it has satin seven

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: years in American oak, but it doesn't have that doesn't

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: have that same bite that typical oak that I do taste.

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: I think it's more so about sweet pineapple, sweet, tropic

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: type of taste, and I do enjoy it. So good job, Alexandra. Yeah,

83
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: we you and I were a little late to the game.

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: We're like, oh no, we are still taking this pandemic

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: very seriously and not going out often. So that includes

86
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: me not go into grocery shopping. But for every once

87
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: a week, you once three weeks. I know. So what

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: did you have in your cabinet to make your drink?

89
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: And what did you make? Uh? So, all I really

90
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: add was I had some lime juice and the sparkling

91
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: water and that's it delicious I did, and it's it's

92
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: very refreshing and actually the rum flavor is pretty It

93
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: shines in this. A lot of drinks I make can

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: normally the liquor kind of fades to the background in

95
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: one way or another, but this is nice. It's a

96
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: nice like bright. I can still taste that kind of sweetness.

97
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: So even though there's not much in this drink, yeah,

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: it's got a lot going on. Yeah, I like it. No,

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that they talked about. Just

100
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: putting some just lime and a little bit of juice

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: is some sorts, and she does that a lot for me.

102
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I decided to create what I'm going to call Sam's

103
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Rum Creamsicle, which essentially has I squeezed two small mandarines

104
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: little cutie's, yeah, and into my little glass, and then

105
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: I added an nounce and a half of the rum.

106
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: And then I took my bubble water. But I love

107
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: the pineapple flavor. One bubbly water, and I put like

108
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: a splash vat a good pour into it, and Yeah,

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: it tastes like a creamsickle. It's quite delightful, little sweeter,

110
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: but had the acidity from the orange. So that is

111
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: my now official drink that I'm going to call Sam's

112
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: Rum Creamsickle. I love it. It feels like, once again,

113
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: you're in your like coat that makes you look like

114
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: an Arctic explorer, but you're drinking this like very very

115
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: beach like trafical drink of your own creation. It's breaking

116
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: me a lot of joy. You know. One of the

117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: things that she does talk about is branding, and I

118
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: think that's something we need to think about often, even

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: though I hate it. It It feels so cliche, especially in

120
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: the industry. You and I are end because of what

121
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: we've already been told where social influencers. I'm like, how

122
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand what are Yeah, so I'm very confused

123
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: by this whole aspect of social influencers. I guess if

124
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: we take it outside of social media and talk about

125
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: it in a digital format, be sure. But I think, yeah,

126
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: that's one of the things. So if you were to

127
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: say what your brand was, can you describe to me

128
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: your brand? Oh? My, I would say it is. It

129
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: is what I hope is charming, awkwardness and endearing but

130
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: sometimes intense passions and a lot of them nerd based, yes,

131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: like what's a good word for will not stop talking

132
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: about things she loves until you away slowly passionate? Okay, yeah,

133
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: fashion it I think something in there. I think the

134
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: awkward is definitely a part of it. But yeah, yeah,

135
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: I think that's a good brand. You have a great

136
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: brand because people recognize and know you're easy to shop for.

137
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: Your easy and hard in that I get better ideas

138
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: because you have so much love for so many things.

139
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: But it's die hard that it's almost like this could

140
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: go really really wrong. Because I do this to my

141
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: other friend Dominique, who really is a big Auburn fan.

142
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: She has a sorority, like she has all these things,

143
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: so a little I focused in a little too hard

144
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: on those is getting her catchy things to the point

145
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: that my mother would do that to me, where I'm like,

146
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I said, I liked it one time, and every year

147
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can never get rid of this. Uh,

148
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: and I don't love it, but okay, But all that

149
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: to say is you have so much love and when

150
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: you love something, you love it with all of your

151
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: heart and it's a really beautiful thing and you are

152
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: a loyalist to it, but you're still compassionate and that

153
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: you want to teach others. So you are a passionate

154
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: die hard. I like it. Thank you. That's your brand.

155
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. For me, I want to go with

156
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: a lovable curmudgeon. I hope I'm lovable at least I'm

157
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna say likable, endurable. It's getting little us and loves

158
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: like I was getting. So I'm really struggling. And you

159
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this previously when we had

160
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: episodes about being empathetic, and I'm not calling myself an impath.

161
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to go down that road, but

162
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: empathetic that when others go through something, something in my

163
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: life gets triggered. By it as well. So I have

164
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: someone going through not a hard time, but a big change,

165
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and I feel like I have taken that. And I

166
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: didn't realize that until today, even though I've been just

167
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: been swirling in my head for two weeks that that

168
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: it was based from that because I feel for her

169
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: and all of these things. It's affecting that portion of

170
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: my life. Does that make sense, whether it's work related,

171
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: whether it's relations ship, whether it's family, you know, like

172
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: the that specific thing. But all that to say, it

173
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: also makes me really irritable and just down. And I

174
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: don't know what to do about that because there's nothing

175
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: to really stop that from happening in my life. I

176
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: can't block that I used to when I was so

177
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: pessimistic that I wouldn't let anything close to me, that

178
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: I had a hard time attaching to anything. And I've

179
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that I'm pretty sure as a child,

180
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: I could have been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder. There's

181
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: so many things to that, based on my relationships, based

182
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: on my reactions, based on my mistrust, based on my manipulation,

183
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: like all those things. So growing out of that, growing

184
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: into an adult and finding more empathy, and as if

185
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: I've gotten older, I'm like filling more of my emotions

186
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and I'm just letting it out a little more. But

187
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: it's still hard to not be a curmudgeon. Like I'm

188
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: getting into the forties and I'm like, yeah, I'm going

189
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: to be the witch that gets stuck in her rocking

190
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: chair on the port screaming at the kids get off

191
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: my lawn. And they had run a spread rumor said

192
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I eat children, and yes, that's what I'm really hoping

193
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: for someone's long I don't know if his mind or not,

194
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe I'll just be at the like a

195
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: local community garden, streaming I kids. But like that's kind

196
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: of the field that I've gone through. And as I

197
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: get alert, like yeah, yeah, I'm gonna dig into that

198
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: a little more because it's really hard for me to

199
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: function outside of that. My anxieties, my depression, my all

200
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: of that. I don't know. But I feel like people

201
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: love me enough that they know that I'm loyal to them,

202
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: so they find me lovable for the moment. I find

203
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: you lovable always. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna go with it,

204
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: Like I pause, because I'm like, I can be a

205
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: really big downer. We all know it, which is also

206
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: while they're like, I can't hang around people. I think

207
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons we balanced each other out though,

208
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: is because I it's hard for me to be a

209
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: big down or even when you should be a big

210
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: down er, you know, like it's hard for me to

211
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: voice like negative things. So I think together I'm the

212
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: Debbie downer. They're like, oh God, she coming, is she

213
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: going to talk about this? That's when I'm like walking

214
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: up the stairs whistling. Yeah. So I don't know if

215
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: that's my brand or not, but I feel like I

216
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: need to dig into it. I'm the one who makes

217
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: the faces sarcastic one liners and then walk away and

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: hope that that brought a little bit of a laugh,

219
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: and then I'll move on before people catch on to

220
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: be like, oh, she's not joking, she's just a jerk. Yeah.

221
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: I think that you're very You're very loyal, and you're

222
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: very cary, and you're very I think you are awesome,

223
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: extremely compassionate, and definitely very empathetic. But you like you

224
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: you mean, you're saying you're such a down are and

225
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I know you say things that aren't happy but I

226
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: feel like you've uplifted encourage people. I have my moments,

227
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, I do play the Debbie down her pestle

228
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: mist role well too, like I would be Daria. And

229
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: people love Daria, they say they do. They like the

230
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: idea of her, and then then reality they're like, wait,

231
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: you're awful. Person felt the same way like Liz Lemon.

232
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Everybody really loved her for a minute and they're like,

233
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: she's the ideal and then you really think about that

234
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: type of person in your life seven you're like, maybe

235
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: she's not. Maybe maybe not. Well, you know, you get

236
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: those fictionalized characters. I think the point is that their

237
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: fiction and they're a little elevated. I could be wrong.

238
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: Let's hope, Let's hope. Yeah. I think we should, you know,

239
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: talk about how we are branded and what that looks

240
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: like in our responsibility in that brand. I guess Christina

241
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: and uh Annie and everybody involved in our show, we

242
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: need to think about our brand a little more because

243
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: it has changed, like the different hosts, it has changed.

244
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Is it important? Not necessarily right now, but maybe it

245
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: is something that we have to think about in the

246
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: future as au as we navigate this really odd field. No, No,

247
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: it's always important. I remember I have two points here.

248
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: Uh One, I think we should return one day and

249
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: talk about how toxic it can be for younger people,

250
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: especially on social media, to think they have to build

251
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: a brand on social media. Not necessarily toxic, but a

252
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: lot of times it is. And that's something I really

253
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about. I'm very grateful that I

254
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: didn't at the time. Another is our friend and co

255
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: worker Lauren over from the Favorite podcast but a bunch

256
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: of other stuff. She does a bunch of stuff. She

257
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: said one time she was like preparing for some kind

258
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: of photo shoot and she's put on makeup and somebody

259
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: there told her like this, it's gonna be for social

260
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: media or whatever, and she kind of like immediately jokingly

261
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: said it's for my brand. And how she feels such

262
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: shade for that moment since this day because she's not

263
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: sure the guy knew she was joking. It's hard making

264
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: one off jokes and then you're like, wait, I'm in

265
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: the field where people may take that seriously and or

266
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: like if somebody doesn't know you, sometimes sense of humor

267
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: can miss sometimes even if they yep, we're both like

268
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: reach for our drinks well. Cheers to us finding a

269
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,160
