<v Speaker 1>We're assuming you've heard of us there if you clicked Um,

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>we are here to do a little mini episode in

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>which we're just going to do some shouts out, some

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, expressions of gratitude and to start and acknowledgement

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>of and this is something that we should do way

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>more often slash all the time. But we want to

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that both myself and Jamie live and record this

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast on Tongva Land. Yes, yeah, obviously we recognize that

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the holiday being observed by many this month. Wall It's

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>great to hang out with your family if that's what

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you enjoy doing. Uh, it's a bullshit colonial holiday. We

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>don't observe it, you know, as we've said many times

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on the show. And you know we're two of the whites,

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>so we are like still constantly learning and you know,

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to to do better and um, yeah, so we

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>want to acknowledge that we live and record on tongue

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of the land, the tongue of the people who are

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 1>still very present obviously in California, have a really fascinating

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 1>history that I didn't know very much about up until

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago. And so we'll be linking

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a little information in the description as well as making

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>some donations to indigenous nonprofits, which we will also link

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>in the description of this episode, and we hope you

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>do the same. And if you don't know about the

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Indigenous history of the land that you currently live on,

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we would highly encourage you to learn more. It's never

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>too late, for sure, and it's critical to note the

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>history of where you live. Definitely, we encourage our non

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>native listeners if you don't already know, to find out

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>what Native land you reside on and find out ways

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you can meaningfully support the indigenous people's in your community. Absolutely,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and again it's never too late to start learning. So

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to just make that acknowledgment at the top

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of the episode, um, and sort of move forward with

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>classic bachtel Cast Gratitude episode because the holidays bullshit, But

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the concept of gratitude we're still we're still fans of it.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I support it. Yeah, let's start with thinking all of

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the guests we've had on the show. Oh my gosh,

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it's let me wait, and let's just sort of as

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in review. We've had fucking bangers this year. I just

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.880

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>just additional insights and resources. Sometimes we miss things, sometimes

<v Speaker 1>love like our community is Like so, I don't know,

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>like online communities get a bad rap, and rightfully so

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of a lot of ways, but I

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.239
<v Speaker 1>feel very lucky that our community even when there are

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.640

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>like we've got a community vibe, and I feel very

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.119

<v Speaker 1>better by each other. And wow, okay, don't get emotional,

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>um shame, but yeah, I just our listeners are the

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>best and we've learned so much from you over the years.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>And oh this is fun, um, and we're excited to

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>see you in person again because we're doing a tour

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 1>um and about two and a half fish months at

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the beginning of February on the West coast. Yes, yes,

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 1>so we don't have a lot of details yet, but

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>suffice it to say that late January, early February, we'll

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>be doing a West coast tour. Will announce everything more

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>officially when we have all the details locked in. But

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just wanted to put that on your

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>radar save the date. The date being vague. Me and

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Caitlin are getting married. We're getting married, but yes, we're

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>we're very very grateful for you. Extra extra shout out, um.

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Sorry you hate to hear it. But look, I'll say it.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it. Yeah, we're extra grateful for the Matrons. Sorry,

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>oh pay to play? Oh I guess so sorry, sorry,

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm well. Look, look it's because we live in a capital,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 1>as we live in a society, we're extra grateful for you. Sorry. Well,

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. The support we get from the Matrons

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>is the reason this show has been able to continue

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to exist all these years. If not for the financial

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 1>support of the Matrons, we would not have been able

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to sustain this show. So we really appreciate I mean,

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that was like truly what got us to stop losing

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>money running this show, which we were for like the

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>first while. Basically yeah, which is a fun fact about podcasting,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>or at least at the at that time. It's weird.

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It feels like there's been like a million things have

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>happened since then. But you know, it was like yeah,

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like, you're like, well, let's see if anyone starts listening,

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and then it was it wasn't until we started the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Matreon that we were able to certainly not support ourselves

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>right away, but like you know, at least get out

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of the get out of the Red Red or black.

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think get out of the Red. Oh god, okay, yes, um,

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I was about to say it, so yeah, that naming

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>convention confuses me. Sorry anyways, it's confusing. I just think

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>everything should be on the stoplight system, and so I'm like,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>why is it red? If you're like in the red,

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that should be negative. If you're in the green, that

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>should be positive. It's also the Coller of Money, which

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>is a movie. If you're in the yellow you're something something.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Minions you have to if you're in the yellow, you're

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Kevin and so you know, it's just something to think about. Oh,

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful for the Minions episode, and I'm grateful for

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>this is the year that I'm grateful for a Rise

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of Grew obviously, oh my gosh, very grateful for Rise

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of Crew h Rise of Grew. It was the song

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of the summer. Although I will say you what I'm

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>not grateful for. What's that? This is controversial Rise of

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Grew soundtrack flop bad. I don't even remember a single

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>song on it. Name one song from the Rise of

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>group soundtrack, flop flop. I see your point. Good. They

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>made St. Vincent record Funky Town and it sucked. It

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't make any sense. Um. Yeah, I don't know someone

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>someone dropped the ball over at illumination. Um. Anyways, if

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't get hired to write Minions five, I'll I'll

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>walk into trap. Um. What else are we grateful for? Oh,

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.599

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>as I mean, I just can't imagine someone I want

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to work with my I'd like, I just love you,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I trust you, and I think you're the best. And

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm crying so we could talk about anything. And also

<v Speaker 1>it's really nice to like work with someone that I'm like,

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>how do I phrase this correctly, Like to work with

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>someone that it's like it's all good. Like if we

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>disagree with something, we'll figure it out. If something comes up,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll figure it out. Like it's just like a place

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of trust. And it's a safe place. I was gonna

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>say it's the quiet place, but it's definitely not. It's

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a really loud place. It's a quiet place. Part two. Yeah,

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we're very loud we you know, but we're just we're

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>just making sure our voices are heard. Um, um to me,

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I am sorry? Wait what when Jeffer Lopez saying let's

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>for until we die. Okay I did just threaten to

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>walk into traffic, so be careful. I really have to

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 1>write Venue is five or the fectial cast, and it

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>would be horror. It would be bad. Um, are you listening, illumination.

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful for you know what? I'm not Okay? Can

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>we have a hater's corner? Oh? I'm not grateful for

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>no Princess which this year? What the fuck? But but

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 1>we do have a Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie which we

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>are covering on the Matreon fear not. Yes, listeners, Look,

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait. I oh, this is what I was

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, because we're talking about a quiet place. My

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I was just visiting home and my dad started doing

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>this bit that I thought was really funny. We were

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>watching the worst movie I've ever seen. I would love

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to cover it on this show someday. Um, something Borrowed.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like iconically bad. Everyone is firing at an eleven

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>at sucking, but John Krasinski's in it. And we started

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>doing this bit where anytime John Kristinski was on the screen,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>we were like, I can't believe he's cheating on Pam.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Why is he cheating up Pam? Why is he wearing

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that shirt? Jim wouldn't wear that shirt. It was really

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>funny to me. Um, it's the worst movie I've ever

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>seen in my life. Something Borrowed? Okay, something bar It's

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Kate Hudson playing the best friend of Jennifer Goodwin playing

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the part Jennifer Goodwin played back in that day, which

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>was like I'm turning thirty and therefore I'm basically dead

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and like she has to have sex with a guy

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>named Dex or she'll explode. I don't even like that's

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>my tape, that would be my punch up is like

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>why does she have to have sex with this guy

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>named dex Well, she's going to explode if she doesn't.

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like me needing to write Minions five or all

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 1>walk into traffic. Yeah, okay, well I guess I'll think

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>about checking that out. But I'd be so grateful if

<v Speaker 1>they're like, yeah, it's like the band on the Titanic

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.720

<v Speaker 1>guess that. I'm like, kind of I thought that I

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>would be getting in a lifeboat, but it turns out

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm the elderly couple in the bed. Um I'm waiting

<v Speaker 1>But like Twitter, I mean, I mean, if it goes away,

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it would actually be you know, probably net positive for

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the world. I think, um, the world be a safer place.

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>But Instagram, I mean, who Mark Zuckerberg on Instagram, and

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard a bad word about him, so probably

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>follow us a little there. Everything's funny, especially because on Instagram.

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Let me just plug my amazing, hilarious, awesome, put way

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>too much time into this bit bit where I re

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>edit the ending is of movies if they ended the

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>way Shrek ends, which is how every movie should end.

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Check that out. It's my finest work and I do

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>need you to watch those on Instagram and TikTok. I'm

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a TikToker now, bravely say what you will. She's a

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>TikToker now. And that's also a famously uncompromised social media.

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's no surveillance that it's and then but

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>then people are like, join Mastodon, and immediately my whole

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>body rejected that I don't. It's new Twitter. And then

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>anytime I say I'm not going to do it, people

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>are like it's great. I'm like, I'm sure it is great,

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>but I can't at this point sign up for something

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll die. I might get to be real because all

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>of the jackals at the on it, Hey, I'd had it,

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and so they would they would always be like murderers

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 1>getting the I was in so many people's be reals,

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I couldn't ever see them because I'm crusty

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't have to be real. Another thing that

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what that is, but it's fun.

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>But if you're boring, it's bad, which is why I

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>don't have it. Um can I tell you what be

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>real is? And then I'll be so grateful. I do

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 1>know because I have some friends who use it. And

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.639
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, this sounds like a lot of effort.

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>What we're saying is that if you want to sign

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>up for something, you could sign up for Matreon. Oh yeah,

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.560

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 1>fun on the main feed, but the Matrion is loose.
