1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephane.

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Never told your production of iHeart Radio. So today is

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: December sixty and it is potentially our last day of

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: recording for I just want to put that out there

5
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: because we are recording this episode about a little early,

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: so who knows what's gonna happen between now and then. Um,

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: how are you feeling right now going into Samantha? Honestly,

8
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those things like are we

9
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna make it? If we can just make it? But

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: are we gonna make It's kind of that time type

11
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: of feeling, as well as the fact that I'm like,

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: I just need to get past the holidays. I just

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I just gotta get past the family get together, which

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm really dreading and really don't want to do. I

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: fem been having dreams about it. I did have a

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: dream about it actually because of the dread. So I

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: can't get past this point and it seems so far away,

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: which is also misleading to me because I'm like, oh,

19
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: do I have all my presence? Yeah? Yeah, I saw

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: about like the huge backup in the shipping of presence. Um, yeah,

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: I feel I mean, I feel kind of the same way.

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: It feels hard to believe um, and it's like feels

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: forever away. It's fast approaching at the same time, which

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: is kind of how this whole year. The vibe of

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: this whole year has been um. But we did want

26
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: to do I a you know, shy hello, Yeah, Hello,

27
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: like you're approaching a scared animal. You know, your hands

28
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: are raised, okay, um And when we I know, I

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: bring this up all the time, but when we did

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: our Hello episode, that episode UM is one kind of

31
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: like a a sad and hilarious relic, uh, because how

32
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: the things actually turned out, but too um, it was

33
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: pretty researched. This one isn't going to be so researched,

34
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: both because of um timing. But I am not making

35
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: this up Listeners, I know it sounds like a cop out.

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: We're not the only ones who don't want to predict

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. There is not a lot of people

38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: out there. Most people are like, uh, the housing market

39
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: might do something. There's nothing like I mean, the constant

40
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: theme of this year is was that on your bank

41
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: up card? And the majority so it's not even worth

42
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: it because it feels like a waste of time to

43
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: actually research, and this was gonna happened this year because

44
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: it's primarily wrong. The one thing we did well, No,

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: I guess we really didn't know who was going to

46
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: be the actual candidate for presidency at that point. Um,

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I remember what I was hoping for. I really didn't

48
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: think it was gonna be Biden. I'm not gonna lie. Um,

49
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people did and I didn't.

50
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: And then here we are, and I'm like, Okay, well

51
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: this makes sense. At the same time, what like, there's

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: a lot of different things and things that we predicted.

53
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: We knew whatever was going to happen, it was going

54
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: to be difficult. Did we know it was gonna be

55
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: this difficult? Did we know that there's gonna be five counts,

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: that we were going to the Supreme Court, that we

57
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: were going to constantly going to the state Supreme Court,

58
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: that we were going to have to have what I

59
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: thought were somewhat sensible politicians being as ridiculous as they

60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: have been to allow this kind of banter and nonsensical

61
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: lawsuits and waste of time. No, Like, we knew it

62
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be bad, but we didn't know it was

63
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna be this bad. Yeah, And I remember that that

64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: episode feels like a haze, but I remember that we

65
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: talked at the end about will there ever be will

66
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: there be a female president in our lifetime? And I

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: think we did talk about vice president and we thought

68
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: like that was a possibility, so, you know, kind of

69
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: um and we did want to talk about some of

70
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: our predictions, but they're going to be very silly and personal,

71
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: because again, we got so screwed over. We were so

72
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: wrong in twenty twenty, and I just feel like we

73
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: needed There's been so much I mean, there's been the

74
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: good news about the vaccine, and you know, finally the

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: electoral College has come in, but there's still so much uncertainty,

76
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, let's just take a

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: lighter approach. So I did want to ask at the start,

78
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: speaking to the vaccine, when do you think you're going

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: to get it? Because I feel like I'm going to

80
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: be at the bottom of the barrel, which puts me

81
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: in June right, Well, it seems America, it's so important,

82
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: though we are the ones that have been the most relaxed,

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: and it seemed to take the disease a little less

84
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: seriously than the rest of the world, which means, of

85
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: course we're gonna be first on the list. There was

86
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 1: a map shown of who was going to be given

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: first and kind of like the ratio, and yeah, the

88
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: US and parts of Europe and in Canada we're at

89
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: the top of the list, which is absurd to me.

90
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: But that's a whole of the conversation. And if you

91
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: haven't heard, the massless pandemic denying officials of the White

92
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: House is already scheduled to be first in line for

93
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: this vaccine, which to me, off to no end, I

94
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: cannot like, I am the gift from um clue where

95
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: this miss white with flames and flames just in raging

96
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: flames like that, that is the gift that I am

97
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: right now. Um. But because of all of that, I

98
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: think we're Yeah, we as the citizens will be at

99
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: the bottom of the list in the US US. Uh,

100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: not bottom, I say lower middle bottom, because we are

101
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: still considered middle class and you and I are in

102
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the podcasting industry with a big corporation, um, and I

103
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: think that's gonna push us up as well. Um, Because

104
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I remember when we were gone, when we were all

105
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: being sent home and being quarantined. The first thing they

106
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: told us is we can get you to a doctor.

107
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: We can get you access to a doctor. And I

108
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be us as well. And I say

109
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: this personally, and and and and it seems unjust in

110
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: so many ways. Um. But because of that, I think

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little earlier than that. I don't

112
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be before the I think like maybe

113
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: April earliest May ish UM would be offered to us.

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: But like I said, for those who are marginalized, who

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: are disenfranchised in any way, those who don't have healthcare,

116
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: those who are minimum wage for workers that who are

117
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: seen as essentials will not get it. UM. We have

118
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: seen that a lot of medical individuals have gotten it.

119
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's also a show of trying

120
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: to show that these uh, these vaccines are not as

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: big of a risk as people are trying to make

122
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: it out to be, as the anti vactors are making

123
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: it out to be. And the whole conspiracy theory, including

124
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the fact that there's this very right leaning Trump supporter

125
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: doctors who come to the CDC to stay in front

126
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: of it and say they're protesting the giving out of

127
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: vaccines and saying that it's being forced on people, which

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: is not true. It's such a weird rhetoric when we're

129
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: also talking about the fact that it's not going to

130
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: be available to a lot of people who actually need it.

131
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: So so I'm like, what is happening here? So I

132
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: think the biggest debate is whether or not Biden, as

133
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: he has problem, is presidentally like Biden that it will

134
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: be availed to everyone, if that's actually going to be

135
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the case, because we already having the conversation of well,

136
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: this is falling in line with why health care should

137
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: be available to all but whatever, but whatever. Um. By

138
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: the way, happy New Year's everybody say that. So we're

139
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: coming out. We said we're gonna get goofy, but here

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: we are. UM. Sorry, I have a lot of thoughts

141
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: on this stupid vaccine. I'm getting anything about it? No, no, no, absolutely. UM.

142
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see how this sort of

143
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: anti vaccine conversation plays out and how long, not how long,

144
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: and how strong it stays. Um, because it's always been

145
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: a part of our society, right but right now it's

146
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: really right at the forefront of a lot of people's minds. Um. Well,

147
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: switching gears really hard, Like, Um, I don't know what

148
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: that noise was. It's like, I don't know that's how

149
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: your car. So I mean that definitely changes the course

150
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: of a conversation sometimes. Um, when do you think you're

151
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: gonna get a haircut? Because the last time I got

152
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: my haircut, I think we see not oc terriber of nineteen.

153
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to get it until I've got

154
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: a vaccine probably, And as I've said recently, my hair

155
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: this is the longest it's ever been, which I kind

156
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: of like because I've been able to do things with it.

157
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I've never been able to do like gread it, um,

158
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: and I you know, it's kind of it's also annoying

159
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: because it is very long and I'm not used to it.

160
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm trying to take the positives in

161
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the negatives and bound somehow. Yeah. Man, I've actually gotten

162
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: my haircut right before we went to l A because

163
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta look good because I've been

164
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: keeping the shorter haircut. Um, but my hair grows pretty

165
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: freaking fast. Uh, and right now I'm looking real eighties

166
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: cotty chung ish um without the bank. So I got

167
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: the Asian mom loa going on, uh and it needs

168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: a Trump. But yeah, I'm not going anywhere, and until

169
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the vaccine happens, I probably won't go anywhere because I'm like, again,

170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: I think I said this previously on the Monday many

171
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not taking hours like that, Like I definitely set

172
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: myself clean, but not washing the hair. I have noticed, though,

173
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get concerned that I'm losing a lot

174
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: of hair. And I used to have really thick hair

175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: and it's not like two timestable, but it's no stable.

176
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Not that I'm getting worried about. The stress has affected

177
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: in my hair, so I'm like, oh no. Also, I'm

178
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: turning really gray. But I'm not fighting that at all,

179
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: well speaking, I'm not fighting that. What do you think

180
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: real clothes are coming back? Because I when did I

181
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 1: put on real clothes last I don't I put on it.

182
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: I put on more costumes, they think than real clothes.

183
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah, that doesn't really make sense actually,

184
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: but now that I think about it, I think that's

185
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the true statement. UM through various for various work reasons,

186
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: mostly but not always UM And it's one of the

187
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: things where I have actually really enjoyed it, especially because

188
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere, so what does it matter? Um

189
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: And people have called me out before where they're like,

190
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: we hung out virtually two nights ago and you wearing

191
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was like, h huh, what do

192
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: you want from me? There's some days I do feel like,

193
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: oh wow, like to wear clothes and feel that cute

194
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: feeling again put together. I do miss that occasionally, but

195
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: it's not enough to put on real clothes. Yeah. No,

196
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: that's my thought is I think people want to dress

197
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: up because they miss it. But now that the shame

198
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: or the whole like need to impress people kind of

199
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: seems less important. Um. I mean, I have that giant,

200
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: comfy slash wearable comforter which makes me look like a

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: tent like it's fine, Like I cannot express how giant

202
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: and thick this is. And I wore it all the

203
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: way to the streets taking my trash out with my

204
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: neighbors seeing me. I no longer care what they think.

205
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: And again, I used to be the one to always

206
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: put on makeup because I'm definitely Southern at heart, with

207
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: my mom teaching me, I don't know why without your makeup?

208
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Um And and getting a bit fancy, but now with

209
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: a mask, and like why And I don't think I'm

210
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna stop wearing a mask for a while because yeah no,

211
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of Asian countries have been wearing

212
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: it for a while now, and it doesn't like we

213
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: have an assortment now I now have like a pile

214
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: of masks, and I feel like, why not be safe.

215
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry about it. I don't want to

216
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: breathe in what they're breathing out. So with that, I'm like, well,

217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't even makeup, but I do miss wear my

218
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: red lipstick. I really liked that red lipstick, you know,

219
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: so that I didn't look quite dead right and pale.

220
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I'm good, I think because also we'll

221
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: probably keep walking from home. That it's like why, yeah, yeah,

222
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: it's fine again, my my nerd heart showing through. I

223
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: think the last times I've more makeup have been for

224
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: costumes or D and D. I do themed outfits to

225
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: make them nervous because I'm terrible, um, terrible dungeon master.

226
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: It's all wear makeup to accentuate whatever vibe I'm trying

227
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: to send off. Do you think there's gonna be like

228
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: pandemic fashion after this, Like speaking of the I have

229
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot of masks to you for different outfits. Maybe

230
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: you're maybe you're sleeping bag tent is going to become

231
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: a fashion statement. I will take it with me where

232
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: I can. I will say that, Uh, you know what

233
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: I think, Well, think about the level I'm interested to

234
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: see the amount of sales at pajama companies or companies

235
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: with leisure weare has made because the many a tweets

236
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: that I saw on people asking for recommendations to get

237
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: comfy pants was like a skyrocketing Like I wonder how

238
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: much they actually made. Often that my cozy socks, sweaters,

239
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, especially as it gets colder, you know, you

240
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: want all of those things. I think that is the

241
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: fashion that we were going to lean into, like we've

242
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: already been leaning into things like jeggings and leggings and such,

243
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: which was about comfort with a little style. I think

244
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: absolutely everything is gonna be a little more stretchy. Well,

245
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you, but I also think there's gonna

246
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: be I think two things are gonna happen. There's gonna

247
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: be that, and there's gonna be like the hard bounce

248
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: of like gym's come back and lose all your corn

249
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: wait and uh, like I mean, I guarantee you it's

250
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a big bush that that will see once

251
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: we can start going out again. Um, So that that

252
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: will be interesting. It would be especially kind of a

253
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: funny mix of if it was both of those things

254
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: of like wearing these really cute clothes and then wearing

255
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: these like really comfortable essentially at the jamas, and then

256
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, when they do those like fashion in the fifties,

257
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: people will know what sleeping bag. Um. Something else that

258
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I think that we're gonna keep an eye on is

259
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I this home movie release of like what they're doing

260
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: with HBO Max and what Disney Plus has done. I

261
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: think that's here to stay, and that has a lot

262
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: of implications for the entertainment industry and especially theaters. Um.

263
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: I think online doctors, visits and online things in general

264
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: are here to stay like those were around before, but

265
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: like as a as the thing people do on a

266
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: much higher level. I mean, didn't Luffler double bunch of

267
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: stocks and buy a lot of online like options because

268
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: she knew and her husband knew that was going to

269
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: the skyrocket And it has um and I'm when I

270
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: say Loffler is the woman who's running for senate in

271
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Georgia who should be implicated for you know, insider trading.

272
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: But whatever. Uh yeah, I definitely agree the online thing,

273
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: it's not going away, which is unfortunate for those who

274
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: can't have access, who don't have access. I mean, it

275
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: was even a big, huge deal at the beginning where um,

276
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the internet companies were shutting down or was getting overloaded

277
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: and could not provide because they did not have the

278
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: wantage essentially to provide for everyone. That was a whole thing.

279
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: And even now you and I have talked about how

280
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: we like we went through a whole half a week

281
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: of missing work because our internet went down and our

282
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: power went down, and how problematic that was. So I think, yeah,

283
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: we're definitely definitely leaning into that, and I don't think

284
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: it's going to go away because we've seen that if

285
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: it is accessible, it's convenient, and we're all about that

286
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: convenience if nothing else. And and honestly, yeah, the online

287
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: medical thing between not having to go into a doctor's office,

288
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: which makes me feel like it makes me nervous anyway

289
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: you're going into a doctor's office, but then also having

290
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: online therapy where I can just sit on my couch,

291
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: put on have my pajamas on, and have my dog

292
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: next to me. I mean that's the best way to

293
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: go through some kind of traumatic conversations, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

294
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I always have my I feel a pit might be

295
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: mob yeah, and I have Like when I was searching

296
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: for what's gonna happen in predictions UM, I did read

297
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces about how there's going to be

298
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: like what a lot of people were calling delayed gratification

299
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: UM in the summer, and how it's gonna be wild,

300
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: like would stuck everywhere, and everybody's gonna be throwing these

301
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: huge outdoor events and people people everywhere. And I don't know,

302
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I feel like I'm definitely

303
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna be much more cautious than and oh I've got

304
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: the vaccine, I can go outside all right, surround me

305
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: with crowds, right, I don't know. I think there's you

306
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: got to look at it now, there's a lot of

307
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: people who haven't even stopped that's are having to get

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: fined or having to be told to stop this, or

309
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: having to be regulated because they don't want to stop UM.

310
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: And they don't truly believe it. I mean, look at

311
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: the weddings, even they the smaller scale one are still

312
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: like twenties and thirty people. And yeah, that's that's small

313
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: in comparison to you. But too many and people are

314
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: still getting sick and it's not stopping them. It's not

315
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: stopping anybody from doing it. Um. I think people are

316
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: definitely going to push those boundaries. It doesn't even matter

317
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: that the very smallest time, because the minute Kemp said

318
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: that we were not allowed to have the crowd control,

319
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: people lost their mind and left and did their things,

320
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: you know, like it was so crowded. The minute it

321
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: was lifted from Atlanta, the traffic went from zero to

322
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: like so bad, you know what I mean. So I

323
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: feel like not, I think I think they're right. I

324
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: think people are gonna just lose it. And also you've

325
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: got businesses who are trying to capitalized on this, so

326
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: they're already looking to how they're going to make that

327
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: big money. So and if that's gonna be a wild

328
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: party where they spend more money than hell, yeah they're

329
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And you've got to also think about

330
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: the people who are trying to catch up with all

331
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: of their friends who they probably already lost the touch with,

332
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: or the big group of hay that they miss. Um.

333
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, I do think though people are going to

334
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: touch each other less unless they're drunk and i'lcohol it

335
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: involved as a whole lot of the conversation, like my

336
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: reaction to seeing movies and TV shows from the past

337
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: where people are touching or hugging make me panic. So

338
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think that's gonna fall away to the

339
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: ways that the hugging is gonna be a little less

340
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: than shakes are going to be a little less. I

341
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a new change. Yeah. Yeah, I

342
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: definitely had an outright panic attack uh my Thanksgiving, which

343
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: was socially distance, but I still was like, I have

344
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: not seen this many people and I'm scared right now, right,

345
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's seeing how that goes. Um. I'm going

346
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to stick by the five G prediction, even though I

347
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: don't really know what it means in order I particularly care,

348
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: but people said it in and I'm saying in um.

349
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: And on a more serious note, a lot of pieces

350
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: I read said that they will be lasting economic fallout

351
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: from the pandemic, which makes sense. Unfortunately, and that it

352
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: will probably change our offices and cities. Like a lot

353
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: of people are talking about the fifteen minute city, which

354
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: is these like small outdoor pop up things essentially if

355
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, our restaurants can have the outdoor seating, right, Um,

356
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: so that's something that people are predicting or talking about. Yeah,

357
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: we've definitely seen more and more reports of how bad

358
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: it has been and the backtracking to talk about what

359
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: we is needed in offices and whether or not that's essential,

360
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: who's essential was essential, and being able to see that

361
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: maybe some of the positions that they created are not

362
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: necessary anymore, especially if people are doing remote things. Um,

363
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: I have access remotely to whether it's I T help

364
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, why not. I mean, we've definitely had many

365
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: people who have been staples that are gone because it

366
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: no longer meets the requirements of what is needed today,

367
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: which was really sad in itself. And like that's the

368
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: same thing with like restaurant industries and and how many

369
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: people they've laid off because they can't they don't need them.

370
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: There's not as much business happening. We tell stuff they

371
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: are needed, but who's needed and who's getting these jobs?

372
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like the constant fallout of Okay,

373
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: we're having to do the minimum of everything to survive,

374
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: so that means a loss of these people, these jobs.

375
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: So definitely a huge thing. And then yeah, let you

376
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not surprised that the five G thing

377
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: hasn't grown as as giant as we thought because in

378
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: the world and in the year of uh, conspiracy theories

379
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: kind of went to the bottom, like the level. To me,

380
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: it's hilarious where we thought it was gonna be a

381
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: big thing, not only in accessibility, but in conversation between

382
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: q non's like child rape stuff, child trafficking stuff, the

383
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: whole election fraud stuff. All of those have definitely just

384
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: toppled the five G conspiracy. But I think it's going

385
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: to come back for sure because people are going to

386
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: have this conversation. People still met at Bill Gates instead

387
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: it's his fault. I don't think the vaccine. Yeah, that's

388
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: something we've seen in like with women and conspiracies and

389
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: all that, and that's a continuing conversation we're gonna have. Um.

390
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: But speaking of we did want to talk about some

391
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: of the fallout of what happened. It's two women in particular,

392
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: and what we're gonna do about it. But first we're

393
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna pause for a quick break for word for our sponsor,

394
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: and we're back. Thank you sponsor. So we've spoken throughout

395
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: the year about UM women taking the brunts of this

396
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: pandemic in a lot of ways, UM ways that are

397
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: absolutely going to reverberate through and even after that. Many

398
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: women have left the workplace to care for kids. UM,

399
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: They've missed out on promotions, unable to they've been unable

400
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: to submit our publish academic papers, things like that, things

401
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: that do also disproportionately impact women of color. UM predictions

402
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: say the pandemic will put women back five years in

403
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: terms of equality. I've read things that are much longer

404
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: than that. UM. From February to October in the US,

405
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: two point to million women have left the workforce right substantial,

406
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: such huge numbers. And I've seen reports that talk about

407
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: how this is putting women back to the fifties era

408
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: style of living between the whole, like taking care of

409
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: the family's staying at home moms, which there's nothing wrong

410
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: with that, but is definitely taking away the choice of

411
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: women who have had careers and who have had substantial

412
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: h parts and businesses and sciences and medicine like these things,

413
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: but having this conflict of having to choose between family

414
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: and and work and career and lifestyle and is it's

415
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: interesting to see as well, as we talked about the

416
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: pay quality has now been decimated, like it's gone where

417
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: we were kind of coming in and closing in, it's

418
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: gone away now because it's almost like people are having

419
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: to settle for what they can get. Yeah, and it's

420
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: so I mean, it's upsetting in a lot of ways,

421
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: but it's we all lose with this, right, right. The

422
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: economy loses out, sciences is out like we could the

423
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: innovations these women who are now out of the workforce

424
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: could be making we all lose, right, but always starts

425
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: at the bottom. The people who lose are the ones

426
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: that has the least amount to blues. Like it's an

427
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: amazing concept that instead of going from the top where

428
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: they can afford to not have it, they go from

429
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: the bottom and be like giving taken away from what

430
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: they can't already live off of. And that's that conversation

431
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: that we need to have again about why this is

432
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: such an abuse of power and such a neglect and

433
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: humanity that's my own blurb. But yeah, less than one

434
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: third of the companies have made changes in terms of

435
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: their employee valuations. Is to take account the stress of

436
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic, which is a good news. At least we

437
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: get some leeway and being like, yeah, we're really stressed out,

438
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: let's give them a little time. Yeah. Unfortunately it's only

439
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: less on a third, right, But yeah, I mean to

440
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: take into account. We've read about, you know, women who

441
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: do have their children in the background on zoom calls

442
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: and feeling like less because of that, or feeling like

443
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: they're not professional. But at the same time, you've got

444
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: kids in your home, schooling them, and you're working and

445
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: like this a little phenomenon of them having a dress

446
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: code for kids at home has been interesting too. Yeah,

447
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: I haven't heard much about that, but I've seen several

448
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: reports of mandating dress code and kids being suspended with

449
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: seeing things at their homes. Like there's been like conversations like,

450
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: how is this even happening with youth? I think there

451
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: was a lighter or something in the background and he

452
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: got suspended from school for having that, and you're like, huh,

453
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: Like it just kind of became a whole thing and

454
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: then children being told that they cannot be present and

455
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: unless they're wearing fully clothed whatever, And you're like, I

456
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: can understand, like they can't be naked, but what's the

457
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: problem with them wearing pajamas? Yeah? Yeah, wow, okay, I

458
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: mean that makes me think about I always look around

459
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: in my background to make sure there's nothing. Oh, I

460
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: don't know, And I think I told this story about

461
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: the fact that I was on several professional Zoom calls

462
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: and I had changed my name, so who on zoom

463
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: it shows your name? And I changed it for a

464
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: game that we had played, and it was inappropriate and

465
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out what was happening and realized after

466
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: like five phone calls of this inappropriate name that was

467
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be an inside joke, and I'm like, well, yeah,

468
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: that was my boss that I was just talking to,

469
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: having to retract and go back into changing and hope

470
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: no at any notice. Yeah, I remember that. I remember

471
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: that fiasco. Well, we've also talked about all the unplanned

472
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: pregnancies that the will result from the pandemic and have

473
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: already resulted. The cuts we've seen on reproductive health that

474
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: have u in part led to that On the other

475
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: side of that, women have also had to postpone dating

476
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: UM and IVF treatments UM and this after potentially years

477
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: avoiding due to closures of of places that provide those

478
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: treatments or financial reasons because maybe you've lost your job

479
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: or took a pay cut or whatever. And this is

480
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: incredibly painful, and many women report grieving the quote loss

481
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: of an imagined future and feeling that is a quote

482
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: lost year, right. I mean, the back and forth is

483
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: phenomenal conversation in itself between trying to get pregnant and

484
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: the unexpected pregnancies. It's it's it's really interesting, and I

485
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: wonder do we have a term for this generation yet,

486
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: you know, like baby boomers, what is this generation a

487
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: nick called? I thought it was called the COVID boom?

488
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: But is it COVID boom? Quart babies, quarantine baby. I've

489
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: also seen a lot of back and forth about whether

490
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: or not that's actually happening. I've read things that say

491
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: it absolutely is, and then I've read things that say, no,

492
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: it's not. That's over exaggerated. So we'll have to keep

493
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: an eye on that too. I say, the mania several

494
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: people have had babies during quarantine, so that that can't

495
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: be like that math doesn't add up. But I've had

496
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: several friends announced their pregnancies recently and I'm like, ah,

497
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: there's those numbers. So it's interesting and your anecdote or

498
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: look those for a while. And I will say, I

499
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: think everybody experiences in their friendship groups where it's like

500
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: a lull and then a boom and then a lull

501
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, what is this? And that's the same

502
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: thing with marriages to like weddings and sluds. You're like,

503
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: what is happening? But it's happening with my world with

504
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: the babies, just so you know, And apparently you have

505
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: actually talked about this before. Plastic surgery has gone up

506
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: because people are seeing their faces on video calls and

507
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: sexual harassment now inclusive yelling at women to take their math.

508
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: So thanks SNL for that stupid song. No, and I

509
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: definitely can understand the failing to do so. Like I said,

510
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I was, I don't know if it was in this

511
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: episode or a different recording. I changed the light bulbs

512
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: in my dining room because it was too dark and

513
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: I was getting sleepy and I needed something brighter. But

514
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: it's so harsh and so bright that when I opened

515
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: up our video call, I was not happy. And so

516
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: my new ritual, uh is I opened the damn video chats,

517
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: I have to give myself a pep talk and continue

518
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: on and just just focus on your face a log

519
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: because I'm like, no, I don't like this. Yeah, well

520
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: it's funny because I often will gasp audibly when I

521
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: see my face. But then I'm like, I got done

522
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: something about it, but I didn't, so whatever, And this

523
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: would be interesting too because I know, like there was

524
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: that big concern um maybe two or three years ago

525
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: about especially young girls getting plastic surgery to match like

526
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: the Snapchat filters. I believe it was Snapchat, it might

527
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: have been Instagram, but like the filters and going in

528
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: and saying I want using their face essentially with the

529
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: filter on it, saying I want to look like that.

530
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: And now that we are all seeing ourselves through these

531
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: video chats a lot, and and being confronted as such

532
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: an aggressive word but you know, like you're we're seeing

533
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: ourselves right, um, And and I was I was supposed

534
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: surprised and not surprised when I read this because to me,

535
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: like I would never unless I have an emergency. I'm

536
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: not going to the doctor's office right now. I'm just

537
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: not And there are things I'm like, I really should

538
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: get that checked out, but I'm waiting until pandemic is over. Um.

539
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: So that was another thing we'll keep an eye on

540
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: and see what how the numbers shake out after this, uh,

541
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to plastic surgeries. And then also like

542
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment with a mask thing. Um, A lot

543
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: of the articles I read were it was annoying because

544
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: it was women working in like a restaurant or something

545
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: who were following on the safety protocols of their restaurant,

546
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: but also like we should all be doing this and

547
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: getting yelled at by older men who think it's like conspiracy, like,

548
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: which is very very very very frustrating right right the

549
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: whole like overall. Um, I don't know if you remember

550
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: this episode of this incident in which there was a

551
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: lot they were at fro Yo getting fro yo because

552
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: obviously you need that damn pandemic. Um. A woman had

553
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: our mask on, but then she turned like she started

554
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: speeling something about how you don't need it, you don't

555
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: need it, took her mask off, spit on the child

556
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to the woman that she was arguing with the mother

557
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: they were both in line and walked away like that

558
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: kind of level was like what the it's wrong with you? Like,

559
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: it's just such a whole hustle thing. And we see

560
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: almost on a weekly, if not a daily basis, people

561
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: who specifically go in control stores and scream at them

562
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: about not needing a mask, and how is an experience

563
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: And I still cannot believe this is this is this

564
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: is the hill you want to die on of all

565
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: the things that you could be upset at wearing a mask,

566
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: which is not that big of a deal. No, Like

567
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: I just huh, Like that said to me, like, wow,

568
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: that's the epitome of privilege. That's what you're so upset about.

569
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Go home, stay at stay at home, stay home forever. Um. Also,

570
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: you've probably seen listeners and I know we've talked about

571
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: them before, the studies of how stress of the pandemic

572
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: is taking years off people's lives, and some people say

573
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: we're approaching a mental health crisis, especially when it comes

574
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: to essential workers, especially when you're talking about medical staff,

575
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: the majority of whom are women. Um. And then we've

576
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: we did manys on the PTSD during this pandemic um

577
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: eating disorders, and then also domestic violence in the heightened

578
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: rates of domestic violence against women while during lockdown women

579
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: and girls, and those are also things we're going to

580
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: have to deal with. A big conversation also has been

581
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: about the child bride situation, which has increased. At one

582
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: point there was a lot of conversation and actually, you know,

583
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: getting out there and being known and being made aware

584
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: of this being a situation and how it needs to disappear.

585
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: But because of the pandemic, it has actually increased UH

586
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: in such numbers I can't even like discussed because it

587
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: has gone up so high in order to try to

588
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: have survival for not only those young brides, young girls,

589
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: but for the family as well. Because the dowry whole

590
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: UH situation as well as like the whole food poverty

591
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: situation as well, is the whole thing, and it's how

592
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: it's affecting women specifically and young girls specifically. It's it's

593
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: going to be interesting how to unravel and undo this damage. Yeah,

594
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: And when we were saying, like going back, some some

595
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: publications say, you know, this is putting women five years back.

596
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: In some places, it's much further than that, like strides,

597
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: especially in you know, young girls education or or things

598
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: like that, have just really really upsettingly fallen further and

599
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: further back. Um, all these strides and all this progress

600
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: was made and then kind of disappeared. UM. A lot

601
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: of women in the United States were elected in turn,

602
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: so we will start to see some of their policies

603
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: and go into place. Right. I'm really excited, Like Corey

604
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Bush is already making headway and I love seeing that.

605
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: But it's been really interesting too to see the women

606
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: who have come out on such deep ties and support

607
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: for the far right and men's right movements. Like it's

608
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: always been there and we know this, but the level

609
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: that they are coming out uh as leadership positions in

610
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: that world is such an irony that it's I just

611
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: don't get it, Like i' mean like I just sit

612
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: there to stare, like, how does this make sense? Uh,

613
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not surprising, it's not surprising, but it's definitely severely disappointing.

614
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: As we know. Actually, there are some lawmakers happening coming

615
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: through Georgia. Uh Loffler specifically has come all the way

616
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: into it, which is hilarious because she's she's not from Georgia.

617
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: But she has jumped on this Q and on bandwagon

618
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: because she saw one success in one area in the state,

619
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: which is really disappointing for us, all um, as well

620
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: as the fact that it's being embraced in a lot

621
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: of different areas. Now not a lot, there's about probably

622
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: four or five Canadas that we see that's actually one

623
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: and making headway. But it's so so so disappointing that

624
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: it's even that it's even a conversation today. Yeah, yeah, um,

625
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: well there have been you know, this is a lot

626
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: of doom and gloom, but there have been some successes

627
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: for women in UH and we're hoping to see that

628
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: continued and to see companies provide options for flexible work schedules, which,

629
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: as we've discussed in another episode, have helped women, especially

630
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: women who have families who are a caretaker in one

631
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: we or another. Um, flexible work schedules at so flexible

632
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: like remote work options right kind of also gave it

633
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: and we talked about this specifically with the Monday Many

634
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: how it kind of gave you them a justification of like,

635
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: see we told you this would be fine, Yeah we

636
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: can do and yeah, it's been a big year for

637
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: women music wise. Uh. In in May, four black women

638
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: held the top two spots on the Billboard one hundred.

639
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: The songs say So became the first song by two

640
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: female rappers to top the charts. We know that Megan

641
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: the Stallion has done some big things this year. We

642
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: know that Cardi B has done some big things this year.

643
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift keeps doing her big things this year. Uh

644
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: and it's about damn time. And of course there's still

645
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: so much scrutiny and criticism, and then the whole pitting

646
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: women against women is still definitely exists. But it does

647
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: seem hopeful that at least in the artistry world, people

648
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: are acknowledging that women are queens of this industry and

649
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: should be you recognized. Yeah, yeah, And I believe, like

650
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: right before I came in, I saw an article that

651
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: there were also for women with rock albums, like top

652
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: rock albums, which was a big stride. Uh So this

653
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: seems like in music was a pretty big year. We've

654
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: got some comebacks, Dolly Parton, Marai Kardon Warwick. I mean,

655
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: come on, ladies, yes, come on. So those a lot

656
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: of things We're going to continue to keep an eye

657
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: on um and you know, there were certainly other things

658
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: happened in a lot of people are calling Year of

659
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: the Woman, and in the United States when it comes

660
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: to elections, I feel like that gets brought up a

661
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: lot and it's questionable blew blow whether or not right. Okay,

662
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: but um if we've missed anything, any achievements, we would

663
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: love to shout it out that women accomplished this year.

664
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: Um And we do have a little bit more for you,

665
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: but first we have one more quick break for word

666
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: from our sponsor and we're back. Thank you sponsor. UM. So,

667
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: I thought we'd just sort of in this on a

668
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, personal where we have come from and where

669
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: we hope we're going. Um. So, one thing I do

670
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: think is kind of funny in this very peculiar year

671
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: that we're you've just left behind are the very particular

672
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: set of skills that you've picked up. So I wanted

673
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: to talk about those. One Samantha is very familiar with.

674
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: I call it the quick exit. I am the first

675
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: damn person to leave the video chat. I do not

676
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: like like that moment of like, where's the like you're

677
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: all trying to find the hang up button. No, I

678
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: don't want to. I'm just like that could and sometimes

679
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: Samantha has to call me back and be like, wait,

680
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: we weren't eat. We needed to do these two things,

681
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Like we just need to wrap up a couple of

682
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: things that we know out. I know what's going on. Um,

683
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: so that's one. I got a pretty good social distancing dance.

684
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: It feels like an art for him where I'm keeping

685
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: my six feet um. Oh, and I can tell you

686
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: the shelf life of most vegetables, how long a vegetable asks,

687
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: I've got it. I've got it. But I don't trust

688
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: you completely because you will extend those beyond what would

689
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: be the recommendation of the Health Department. Well, so I

690
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: know both, so I can give you like the FDA

691
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: says this, I say this, and then you can choose. Okay, okay,

692
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: I can do I can run a virtual watch partie.

693
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: I can do the bad video game dance moves. I

694
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: can run a virtual D and D game, which is

695
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: a yes, it's a whole thing, or at least I've

696
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: made it into a whole thing. Maybe it doesn't need

697
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: to be either. Oh my gosh, I mean I think

698
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: you've gotten very talented. You've definitely become the hostess of

699
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: all of our virtual things. I think I trust you

700
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: to get it together. Yeah, Mike, new talents have been

701
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: Uh have made my bedroom into my main room because

702
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: it's cold now and I refuse to leave it. Um,

703
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: and man, I'm getting really good at making soups again

704
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: with the cold weather. Like, and I finally have like

705
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: perfected in my own way my chili recipe because it's

706
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: just been a constant, like I just want something in

707
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: one pot because I'm tired of doing the damn dishes.

708
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I want this done. I wanted over and I wanted

709
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: a few days. Yeah, And so that's been kind of

710
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: a new skill that I'm like, I mean, I've always

711
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: kind of cooked, but the man and I've always hated dishes,

712
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: but this level, it's the whole thing. It's the whole thing.

713
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: And because I don't have a dish washer. We've talked

714
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: about this before. Is a pain in the ass. Uh,

715
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: I hate it so much? Do you? I mean, have

716
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: you like learned to cook more because I know a

717
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: lot of people have or is it just that you

718
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: have to cook more? No, like I have to pick more.

719
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: But it's more like I have staples that I know

720
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: I like and what it takes, so it's easy to do,

721
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. So I've learned that.

722
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, and then also my gift game is on

723
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: point now, so I feel like that's my new go

724
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: to because emojis aren't enough and I don't have an

725
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: iPhone where you can just like or love things, which

726
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: by the way, is annoying as hell to me because

727
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: it's into the same damn text And I'm like, why

728
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: but my gift point, Yeah, my gift gift game, I've

729
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: gotten good, I've gotten good. I also think your gift

730
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: game is, you know, very good for for my gift specifically,

731
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: I've very impressed. But you're so easy because you have

732
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: specific passions. Yeah, like people in my family that they

733
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: are not easy, Like I cannot because they're so picky.

734
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: They don't like to they don't like sports, they don't drink,

735
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: they don't do these things. And I'm like, I don't

736
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: know what's a game? Well the anti gift there? Um,

737
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: are they things that you've started doing during quarantine that

738
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: like are here to stay? Yeah, I feel like I

739
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: work from home situation because it hasn't been accessible and

740
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: fairly not easy necessarily, but doable and unless time consuming,

741
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: unless uh space to take up because we only have

742
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: three four studios, sometimes just two studios that worked at

743
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: a time, and you have hundreds of podcasts trying to record.

744
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: So I feel like this is going to be a

745
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: thing for us that's going to stay. Um, I've gotten

746
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: really comfortable and not saying yes. So I'm not necessarily

747
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: saying no, but I'm not saying yes to anything until

748
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: the very last minute because i need room to be

749
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: able to change my mind because I've become a reclusive

750
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: because I've always been an introvert, so it's not been

751
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: a big thing and I don't love huge crowds. Uh

752
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: So having the space to be able to figure out

753
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: how to go to the things and then what I'm

754
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: going to enjoy and what I'm going to engage in,

755
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: that's a new talent to me, I think something that

756
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: not new talent, that's something that I'm going to keep

757
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: this whole like. I don't I'm not trying to be

758
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: rude and not give so it's just that I've realized

759
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: that I don't have to commit to something if I

760
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. As well as the fact

761
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: that sometimes I just I don't know how I'm going

762
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: to feel, and it's okay to gauge for that. Yeah, yeah,

763
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: for sure. And because I also want to be a

764
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: person in my world, I don't want to commit to

765
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: something that i'm and then later back out right yeah

766
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: what about you? Um? I mean, uh, definitely the comfy close.

767
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, the comfy close. And I'm gonna try

768
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: to like, you know, probably write last fan fiction. But

769
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: things like that that have been a real comfort to

770
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: me that before I would never I would have felt

771
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: guilty to engage in because I always felt like I

772
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: had to be doing something like out with people, um

773
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: or in my mind accomplishing something. Um, I think that's

774
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: probably gonna stay. Uh. I think my this sort of

775
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: lower key like attitude. I don't know like if it's

776
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: going to be to the level it is right now,

777
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: but I think that's gonna stay. Like so I'll just

778
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: wear pa jamas outside. I don't know why why bother? Um?

779
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: So I also want to talk about, like, now that

780
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: there are vaccines, there is an end in sight what

781
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to post pandemic. So for me, the

782
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: number one thing, well one of the number one things

783
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: is probably everybody's number one. Well, no, I wish it

784
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: was everybody's number one thing. But going outside and thinking

785
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I might not kill someone. I'm excited about going outside

786
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: and not being afraid that I could lead to someone's death. Um.

787
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about not having to plan and like

788
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: groceries for two weeks. Um. And I can't just go

789
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: to the grocery store, you know, like I have to

790
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, what's my strategy exactly? I gotta get

791
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: in and out in less than ten minutes like this

792
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: whole thing. I wake up at six am days I

793
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. Um, and then I right

794
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: now I'm cring them. Uh, the whole thing. It's been

795
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: a disaster everybody. But I've succeeded, well succeeded. I've managed. Yes, Um,

796
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about traveling, yeah, running, Um, hopefully over

797
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: all less stress and pain. Because I think a lot

798
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: of us probably can relate to this, but just for me,

799
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: like I I do exercise during the day, but not

800
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: nearly as much as I was and I pretty much

801
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: spent like all day in my office chair on the couch.

802
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: I have a standing desk. Now are in bed and

803
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: my body is not happy about it. Um, So I'm

804
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: excited about that and maybe one day no more COVID

805
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: dreams because I have a lot of nightmares about COVID. Yeah,

806
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're always going to be remembering.

807
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: This is gonna be our like depression era, where like

808
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: we have these had new habits now and so it's

809
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna just remain and then when we're old and young

810
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: kids are like, why did you do that's? Why are

811
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: you doing this? Yeah, that's gonna be us. Uh yeah, traveling, man,

812
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: I missed just going somewhere, I will say, though again

813
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: I am a homebody, so as much as I want

814
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: to go somewhere, I never want to go long, but

815
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: just being able to, like, you know, you and I

816
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that we were supposed to go

817
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: go to Portugal, like a four yeth birthday happened, and

818
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to be out of the country, like all

819
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: of these things that we missed out on. Um, sitting

820
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: on patios with for a drink with my friends and

821
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to do, and not that

822
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: we can't do that now, but it's definitely a different

823
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: caution that you can't be near you have to make

824
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: sure that all of these are safe precautions that are

825
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: being followed by everyone you know, and oftentimes it's not.

826
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: Not everyone is on the same lines as you when

827
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: it comes to what you think is safe. I miss

828
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: having like a little dinners and get togethers at my house.

829
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: I used to have those at least once a month,

830
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: like large cheese parties essentially where I come and buy

831
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: like five hundred dollars worth the cheese and wines and

832
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: you beg people to be my friend. I miss that

833
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: because I miss not having to leave but having my

834
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: friends there, like that's something that I've always loved to do,

835
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: and being hosting things as stressful as it is. I

836
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: miss getting my friends together. I just you know, hanging. Yeah.

837
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean I'm excited about that. Yeah. I I feel

838
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: like overall, the like not having to overthink everything of

839
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: like I can't just go do something, um uh. And

840
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: then like when I think about quarantine, what there are

841
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: some things I will miss and like fan fiction is

842
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: one and the excuse not to go anywhere um And

843
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: that is more of a comment on my inability to

844
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: say no, which I was struggling with before this, which

845
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: is why my New Year's resolution last year was stay

846
00:46:54,320 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: in more, which is yes, hilarious, um, and just wearing pegs. Uh.

847
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: Things like that I've enjoyed right right, Um, yeah I have.

848
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss not uh, like the opposite of like

849
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: having a reason not to hang with people, so like

850
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: I have already excuse right um, and then maybe a

851
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: ready reason not to see my family. Uh. That sounds

852
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: so bad. But because of the rockiness of this year

853
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: and then the differences of opinions and just the overall argument,

854
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: it's been really uncomfortable and very stressful, to the point

855
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: that I still have dreams about that. That's the best

856
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: part of my nightmares. Um. And the guilt of that,

857
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna miss not having a ready excuse

858
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: yeah yeah um. Well, and as we go into this

859
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: new year, that's some things that we're hoping for. I

860
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,479
Speaker 1: my hopes are really low, to be honest, I feel

861
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: really burned from I feel really burned. Um. I hope

862
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: we get a vaccinated that like, I hope that that

863
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: rolls out smoothing and people are able to get it.

864
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: I hope I never have to think about trumps tweets again.

865
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. It would be nice,

866
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: It would be very very nice. I hope I never

867
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: have to think about him again. Um, and then I

868
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: can I can slowly ease into being with people again,

869
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: just being around people. I hope that we as a

870
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: society continue have these conversations about systemic racism and climate change,

871
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: all these things that rose to the forefront in this

872
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: very tumultuous year. Um and yeah, more work and how

873
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: from home and flexible schedule options for all. I hope

874
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: that does stay in place. I hope we like learn

875
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: lessons from this year, you know what I mean. I

876
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: hope it's not like, Okay, back to normal and we

877
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: forget right like the optimists would be would be pleased.

878
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: Let's learn from this year and grow with it. Um.

879
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: The pessimist in me is is to continue uphill battle

880
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: and the norm where we ignore things is coming back,

881
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: and that's going to be problematic. But some of the

882
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 1: things that we have learned is with the pandemic uh Internet,

883
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: social media communities have grown, and I think that's something

884
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: that's going to change. That's so something that's going to

885
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: continue on. So like one of the reasons I think

886
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories have grown so huge because people are at

887
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: home and able to pay attention to those and subscribe

888
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: and and and obsess over those UM For me, like

889
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: I have been obsessed over my phone constantly to the

890
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: point that I'm like, I have to do better and

891
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: stop looking at these tweets because it is a constant thing,

892
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: and because you're sitting at home, why not. And I

893
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be something that we have to look

894
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: at and and it's being questions. We're seeing organizations like

895
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: Bridges Organization and Ultra Violet calling out social media to

896
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: do a better job in UM monitoring these types of groups,

897
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: but we're also seeing the growth of their own such

898
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: as Parlor and O A N and all of that.

899
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: So it's building up that conspiracy theory communities as well.

900
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's something that we're going to have

901
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: to look at and catch up on. But if we

902
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: are out and about, maybe some people will well pay

903
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: attention to a little less. I'm really excited that we're

904
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: going to have less news about the indecency in the

905
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: stupidity of some of the things that was happening in

906
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: this administration. I'm really excited to hear less that and

907
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: just going back to the normal of oh my god,

908
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: he's wearing brown pants, I'm singing, is going to be

909
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: the conversation. I missed that. So I'm excited to see

910
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: that happen. I'm hoping to see that we start holding

911
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: people a little more accountable. Um, that they think that's

912
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: a good thing. The collins I think on social media

913
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: are good things. Uh, not necessarily canceled culture, but the

914
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: collins and trying to teach people and to correct people.

915
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's still okay, um, and we need
