1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to stuff

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: I've never told you production of I Hiart Radio. Yes,

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: and welcome to another happy hour. Yes, it's actually Friday. Answer.

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: We record this, so we're doing this right, And it

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: is in the afternoon, so I feel a little appropriate

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: for this one. We always have to disclaim something also

7
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: with that as I always drink responsibly if you choose

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: to do so, be in an alcoholic or a non

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: alcoholic beverage. Yes, and yes, we have decided to make

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: this a special episode because I feel like you and

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: I brag a lot about our Sunday routines when we

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: used to get well, we still are because we're planning

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: to get together soon when we do the little routine

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: of your Star Wars watching party essentially, and you've named

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: it which way You've named it what Sunday Sunday Sunday

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: which has a whole has a whole backstory for sure,

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: and everybody in your world knows this backstory and have

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: been fighting over to participate with you, like we all

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of trying to get our way in there. I

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: think I love it. It's become like an actual thing

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: instead of something I just started a couple of years back. Right,

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: So another disclaimer, we're not sponsored by anyone. Every time

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: we do an episode is typically it's because we've found

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: something that we love and are so excited by, and

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: it is centered around women in that industry, whether they

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: are the CEO, CEO of the creators, a brewmaster, whatever.

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: We love highlighting that and decided we want to uh

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: honk our own horns about the things that you and

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: I have created. So I was like, any today, We're

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna do simple, which is we're going to talk about

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: our cocktails that we have created for this lovely new

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: tradition called Sunday Sunday Sunday. And because you are you,

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: everything's centered around Star Wars and must have Star Wars

34
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: puns because I am me. I'm like, I'm gonna make

35
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: ten different types of dreams and try to figure out

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: if I could actually be a mixologist because I want

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: to be so bad in my lifetime. So what have

38
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: you created today? Yes, so I have created It's called

39
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the yub Nub, which is ewa kias just the official

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: language of the e walks for basically like Gay Triumph.

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: You probably saw it a lot. It gets passed around

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: when like uh. In the last election, when the announcement

43
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: finally came through, a lot of people were like yeb

44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: nub uh. And it's the song that the Ewoks sing

45
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: at the end of Return of the Jedi, which George

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Lucas later changed because he said it was too childish.

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: But I wanted to for that because the Ewoks live

48
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: on kind of a foresty moon. I created this drink,

49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: which is gin and grape fruit juice. Fresh squeezed grapefruit

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: juice is the best tonic water and then some basil

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: leaves and pepper. And I want you know, shout out.

52
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: I know, Samantha, I think you're the person that introduced

53
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: me to this drink. But I was inspired by the

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: drink at a local restaurant, Wrecking Bar. Yes, because they

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: have a very similar drink. But it's it's a very nice,

56
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: like tart, refreshing light drink for the end of the

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi. Yes uh, and I think it's perfect.

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite drinks because A I love gen,

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: B I love basil, so those two things to me

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: cannot go wrong. And then you add the acid of

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: the grapefruit. Such a delight is one of my favorites

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: and you're doing it with the fresh squeeze. And by

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: the way, for the grapefruit, this Samantha dropped off the

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: grape fruit in my apartment. I'm like, look, we're doing this,

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: so you're gonna need a grape fruit. She's like, I

66
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: can do an altar. Was like, no, we have to

67
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: do this right home. Gonna allow it, which I had

68
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: to go for myself because I created what we are

69
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: calling the Tattooing Sunset because of course that's her like

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: favorite scene every time it comes on, and she just

71
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: sits there and stairs and we will share pictures of

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: these drinks and we will share our cocktail recipe um online,

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: so you will have this. But which any that means

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to give a specific measurements, so hope, okay,

75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: a dash of this. But my tattooing Sunset is I

76
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: muddle up about four berries. It's accord to how many

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: drinks you do, about four blackberries, rosemary, simple syrup, and

78
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: a squeeze of lemon juice into my shaker, and then

79
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I add an ounce to an ounce and a half

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: gen half boozy. You want to be, it's up to you. Well,

81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to. You can do this without the

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: gin and our replace that. I'll tell you how in

83
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: a minute. And then you muddle it up and shake

84
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: it with ice you put it into I typically use

85
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: a flute. Annie has slowly tried to kill off all

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: of my flutes because she's slowly, one by one breaking them.

87
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: It has been a delight to watch. One time it

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: was just on the ground and she just stepped like

89
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: not even I don't think you. I thought you stepped

90
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: near it, and it just fell over right. Yeah. And

91
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: one time I was making the grape fruit. I was

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: squeezing the grape fruit and it just fell off a

93
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: counter that I wasn't even using soots everywhere. She bought

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: me a whole new set, and I'm like, I'm excited

95
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: for you to break these, but yes, I'll put it

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: in champagne foot and then I top it off and

97
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's more champagne because it's gonna have like

98
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: probably a third of that is that cocktail mixture, and

99
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: then you fill it up with champagne and it comes

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: at to this beautiful pink purpleish color. That's why we

101
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: said tattooing sunset and then up the two little blackberries

102
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: and usually like a sprig of rosemary in there, but

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the blackberries represent the two sons on tattooing, and yeah,

104
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: i'll put a little lime lemon wedge sometimes some real

105
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: fancy I'm gonna do that, but not all the time.

106
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: But that is the tattooing Sunset. And it inspired from

107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: one of my other favorite drinks, which is a French

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: seventy five. So you take the original French seventy five

109
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: as some berries, some rosemary, and it's the light. Yes,

110
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites. So that is our drink

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: and mine again, tattooing Sunset. Man, should we trademark these?

112
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: I feel? I was so impressed because I was getting

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: text messages from Samantha and she was like, I want

114
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: to drink that represents like being tempted by the dark side,

115
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: but sting like it's so happy this was happening. I did.

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: It's a very artistic drink. I've tried to make it

117
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: and I could never make it as good as you.

118
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So I'm like taking in this recipe and seeing where

119
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm gone wrong. To be fair, you also are missing things,

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: which is why I have to drop things off to

121
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: you when I'm like, we're doing this recipe and you're like,

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: what kind of Like when we did um Hanky panky,

123
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: I knew you didn't have an orange, so I'm made

124
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: sure to get you an orange as well. But we

125
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: were celebrating these drinks and talking about these drinks specifically

126
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: because I thought it's necessary that we talk about routines

127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: and why is import and the reason. If you don't

128
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: mind any can you tell you exactly why you did

129
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday Sunday and how it's become this absolutely So

130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday Sunday started as something that was something that

131
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I needed for comfort because I used to it used

132
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: to be called Sunday Runday Funday because I would do

133
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: my long runs on Sunday and I would always call

134
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: my mom on Sunday nights. And at the time that

135
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: was a very difficult thing for me to do because

136
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: my dad was dying. It was tragic phone call, like

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: a difficult phone call every time. So on Sunday I

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: would do this run and then I would make sure

139
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: to have plans like I would go with one friend hiking,

140
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: and I would go with another friend. I go see

141
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: a movie, I go to a restaurant. It was just

142
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of just like day of really filling it with

143
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: activities and things that I really liked to prepare myself

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: for this difficult thing. And then I would usually stay

145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: up really late and watch John Oliver. So it became

146
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: like this whole old day and I did it every Sunday.

147
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: And then from there quarantine pandemic happened and I can

148
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: no longer do all of these things that were associated

149
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: with it. And by then people have started getting in

150
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: on it, like they had started, you know, every Sunday.

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: I would hear from, you know, a group of friends,

152
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: like what are you doing for Sunday? Sunday Sunday, I'll

153
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: meet you for this part or this part or this part.

154
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: It was very low key like that, and it was

155
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: also I'm not a very spontaneous person often, but it

156
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: could be very spontaneous. So it was kind of a

157
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: nice break from the rest of my week. Like there

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: was the routine of it, but it could be like, oh,

159
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: let's go one time, we saw like three movies, right wild.

160
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: So then yeah, pandemic happened. And I can't remember the

161
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: specific reason. I think it was because I wanted to

162
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: get Mark cambl to treat at me, but I decided

163
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: I was going to watch the original trilogy Star Wars trilogy,

164
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: which is something that had always brought me comfort. And

165
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: even though I by no means watched them at the

166
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: rate I watched them, now, I can think of times

167
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: in my life where I was really stressed and I

168
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: watched those movies. I can remember them because I was

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: stressed and they just brought me so much comfort. And

170
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: I was telling people about, you know, like, yeah, I'm

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: just every Sunday, I'll be doing watching these movies. And

172
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: I would have virtual watch parties and people would drop

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: in whenever they wanted, and it was really cool because

174
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: it it was movies we've seen a lot for a

175
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: lot of us, and it was cool to have people

176
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: come in and still be really excited about it and

177
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: having that friendship and camaraderie over it, and it is

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: something that from their blossomed into UM. I was hanging

179
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: out a lot and creating cocktails and so much like discussions.

180
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: I've had wonderful discussions, and it is it does surprise

181
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: me how every time it is such a comfort and

182
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: like of relief, even if I am working on dungeons

183
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and dragons are costuming lots in the background. It's just

184
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: like it makes me feel lighter, right, And you're not

185
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: the only one. According to one health site, they talk

186
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: about how that it does allow for a sense of

187
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: accomplishment and how important routine has been. As one says,

188
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: routines can be important anchors to maintain good mental health

189
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,239
Speaker 1: and dealing with anxiety, especially during times like the pandemic.

190
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: They create a positive level of stress that keep us

191
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: focused and may help avoid some of the depression that

192
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: many people were feeling, especially during the time of a

193
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: pandemic and isolation. And I remember like knowing when you

194
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: would text me my media responses are you watching Star Wars?

195
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And you're like, yes, I know that that's the thing,

196
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: And for myself that's something that I do as well,

197
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: not necessarily with Star Wars, of course, I got to

198
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: jump on the bandwagon. This was partially because you've been

199
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: pushing me to watch it for so long anyway that

200
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I have nothing better to do,

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: so might as well. But it became a whole. But

202
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: it's become something that I started looking forward to. So

203
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: we may not do it every weekend, but every month

204
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: or so you would come over and we would have

205
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: a whole thing. But it was something that kept me active, like, Okay,

206
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: we were going to do this, but we have Hey,

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: I need to go grocery shopping and make sure we

208
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: have these items because these that are part of these

209
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: traditions and traditions as well make us feel safe because

210
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: that means there's a place of belonging. It means that

211
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: you have an importance to you because you're part of

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: something bigger than yourself, and that's kind of the tradition.

213
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Of course, there's bad traditions as well. Um, we're not

214
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: necessarily talking about all of that. But I think what

215
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to focus on, as much as we love

216
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: these times, that it was for part of your mental health.

217
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: It is for part of your anxiety. You lost something,

218
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: but you gain something. And now because we're quote unquote

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: normal times are back, not really um, and I'm still

220
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: waiting for the bottom to fall out and for us

221
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: to go back to the quarantine days. Honestly, I'm kind

222
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: of scared. But it's now becomes something that's because as

223
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: it was so it was such a help, it's sentimental.

224
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: Now it's kind of like, oh, this still feels good,

225
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: and I don't I still kind of want to hang

226
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: on to that. And there is that level, right yeah,

227
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: And there there's a bunch of hearts to that of

228
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, especially like I'm a big proponent or a

229
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: believer that nostalgia can be great but it can go

230
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: terribly wrong. But it's also like it just it does

231
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: to me feel like kind of an old friend or

232
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: something I can be like, oh, yeah, I remember these

233
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: good times associated with it, and to have these conversations

234
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: aout like it's easier for me to complain about Darth

235
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Vader's psychology just for one afternoon, to take my mind

236
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: off of like a pandemic and all of this dark stuff,

237
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: to be like he's a bad dad and everyone's like yes, no,

238
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: one's arguing that point. Yeah, and having those conversations and

239
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: it's something too where on Father's Day and the anniversary

240
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: of my dad's death, I now watched them because it

241
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: is we there are things that here in that movie

242
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: I can't not hear him say because he quoted it

243
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: all the time, and it does feel like, in a

244
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: very dark humor kind of way, like a bad day, right,

245
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: it is honestly, Yeah, but it does give me comfort

246
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: to know, like on days like that that could be tough,

247
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: I have this thing that I feel will provide me

248
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: some level, some semblance of safety and normalcy and happiness,

249
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: Like I get so happy. Yeah, I've seen him a

250
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: million times and like this part, I really do want

251
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: to do a live video. Just were you watching this

252
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: for the million time and your response as if it

253
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: Like I thought it was so funny because when we

254
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: first watched it and you were so into it and

255
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: your reactions were so into it them like how many

256
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: times have you watched this? What? No, but it's so

257
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: good that that's your response. Oh. I mean that's the

258
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: thing too, is you know how it ends, right, So

259
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: you don't have that, but I do get swept up

260
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: in this is so dramatic, right you do, and it's

261
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: it's and it's a delight to watch. I feel like

262
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm watching it with you for the first time in general,

263
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: like you're watching it for the first time, watching you

264
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But yeah, I think that's what we wanted

265
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to talk about and why we're doing Happy hours in general,

266
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: why we did happy hours while we started Happy Hours

267
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: and we kind of did it in late in the season,

268
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: obviously because it was finally coming to the point that

269
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: people are getting vaccinated, which, by the way, there's a

270
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: new statistic out those people who are actually being hospitalized

271
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: are the people who are not vaccinated, just in case

272
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: you'all need to know that. But the level of for me,

273
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: because I am also a person that needs I don't

274
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: do well with routine, like I'm not gonna do job

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: type things, not in my wheelhouse. It's like, I don't

276
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: love that. But what I do love is the consistency

277
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: of something. So I will rewatch something to the point

278
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: that everybody else is so tired of me watching it

279
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: that they walk away, But there's a comfort and knowing

280
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: what's coming next and then I'm not going to be

281
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: tragically surprised. So we watched Lovecraft, my partner and I,

282
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and I was really on edge and it took a

283
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: long time for us to get through and because there's

284
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: so much trauma in there, and there's so much history

285
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that's just so gross and dirty, and I hate it.

286
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I hate it so much. But I finally got through it,

287
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: and it was to me, I think it was great,

288
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: So I was able to rewatch it knowing what's coming

289
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: up and to enjoy it instead of being anxious about

290
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: what's coming up. And I'm kind of like that in anything.

291
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: When I watched I comfort watch to nobody's business. That

292
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: was my coping mechanism while working my really hard jobs,

293
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: while watching kids die while we're moving kids from homes

294
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: or or trying to fight for kids to stay at

295
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: a home like that was my release because my life

296
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: and my work was so unpredictable and so hard to

297
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: deal with on a daily basis. Like my therapist at

298
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: that time, I canna tell you, we could never get

299
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: to the root of my trauma, my childhood trauma because

300
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: before dealing with daily work related trauma, that never got

301
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: and it was every time I went through a therapy session,

302
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: I was out for the next three days because we

303
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: could not process enough in that forty five minutes to

304
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: fifty minutes. I've finally gotten to the point because I'm

305
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: not in that field anymore that I could get past that.

306
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: But because of that, because of those vulnerabilities, and because

307
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: I would always constantly feel raw, emotionally raw, having things

308
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: like parks and wreck that I would watch on a

309
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: consistent basis, I watched uh, dirty rock factor body and

310
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: it's definitely problematic, scrubs, problematic, there's so many things. I

311
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: was like, Oh my god, this is so sex in

312
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: the city, all of those things. But it was a

313
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: comfort because a I knew it was coming, It was

314
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: a routine, and it made me feel something other than

315
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the horror of whatever was happening in that time, because

316
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: I was able to connect on a different level and yeah,

317
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: complain about this is so dumb or this is so hilarious. Oh,

318
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: this is what exactly why I feel about this and

319
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: being able to, as I have said before, a term

320
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: that my friend used to tell me in college babysit

321
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: your brain. Just being able to remove yourself in a

322
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: different manner. And I think that made a lot of

323
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: difference and how that is important and allow for that

324
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: that it's not anything about being lazy, it's not necessarily

325
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: about being um. And focus is literally about finding that

326
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: place that you just don't have to think, you don't

327
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: have to worry about whatever. That is an allowance to

328
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: give yourself that freedom. Yeah, And I think we've talked

329
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: a lot about self care, and we've talked about how

330
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: important it is for people. A lot of you listeners

331
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: who are in like activism or in difficult jobs like

332
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: you are, women and minorities just in general will have

333
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: this onslaught of difficult things to deal with and how

334
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: hard that can be to make space for that in

335
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: time for that. And there was a point where we

336
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: were coming to the end of the pandemic quarantine, at

337
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: least it seemed where I was like, and I know

338
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: people have talked about this in public a lot, but

339
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: I did have a moment of well, what did you

340
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: do in quarantine? And you watched Star Wars a lot,

341
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, don't feel bad about that, because

342
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, it was just something that I couldn't go

343
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: anywhere really, and uh, it did give me comfort even

344
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: if I wasn't like super paying attention to them. That's

345
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: one of the nice things is that I can say

346
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: the lines, so it's I don't have to be like

347
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: watching it and I can be doing something else. But

348
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: just having it on gave me such a sense of comfort,

349
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: and it prevented my brain from like spinning out of oh,

350
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: you can't leave and do what Sunday. Sunday used to be.

351
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: The world is all of these issues that you feel

352
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: you can't control. So it just gave yeah, like babies

353
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: that my brain of like in the background. It occupied

354
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: it enough where I could do something else and not

355
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: feel like completely overwhelmed by everything right, And we talked

356
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: about this, and obviously in the U s as things

357
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: aren't slowly getting to normal. Have friends in Canada who

358
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: were talking about they're still in lockdown. They are still

359
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: in lockdown, and they're still trying to deal with it

360
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: in I feel so bad because I'm like, you did

361
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: everything right, and unfortunately you're being punished for that. You

362
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: actually went into lockdown and did it appropriately, but because

363
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: you are not high priority, because you've actually been able

364
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: to maintain a little bit of sensibility in this time.

365
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: And so therefore the hospitalization was not as bad as

366
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: compared to the US because of the US, much like

367
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: the Center of Georgia decided, hey, it's fine, everybody out

368
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: for themselves. They don't have access to the vaccine as

369
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: as we've had as fast. I know it's coming and

370
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: I know it's slow going, and therefore they're still in lockdown.

371
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: At least my friend does in UM Toronto. So she

372
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: was like, I'm about to lose it, And we had

373
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: a zoom conversation with her and my friend in England. Uh,

374
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: and we're all three very different places and where we are,

375
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: and all I can think is what I'm saying, Yeah,

376
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm about to go work out for the first time.

377
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: Her face is like, I'm gonna punch you. Like that's fair,

378
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: but it's complete be fair. So we're talking about all

379
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: this and and and with that against this ability of

380
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: like it's okay to feel like all you've accomplished this,

381
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: I've watched this for the time in a row during

382
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: the pandemic, that's okay, and that's fine. And then you

383
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: have to do what you have to do to keep

384
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: yourself to that place where you are healthy. And unfortunately

385
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: that might have everything to do with finally just giving

386
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: up for a day. That's okay, there's nothing wrong with that.

387
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: And when I say giving up, I mean deciding not

388
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: to clean the house that day, It's okay. Or if

389
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: you need to clean the house for the fiftieth time

390
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: that day, that's okay. Of course, there's always extremes, and

391
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: you definitely need to care for your mental health and

392
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: listen to your own body when it tells you to stop,

393
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: or when it tells you to go or when it

394
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: tells you it needs help, you need to be able

395
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: to do all those things. But it's also good to

396
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: know that there is routine, and routines look different and

397
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: that's okay. And if it includes you having to try

398
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: to make your own cocktails or mocktails or whatever, that's

399
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: okay too. Yes, Yes, I've had some wonderful, wonderful Sunday

400
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,200
