1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. You know, I love

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: working with you, Brendan, but sometimes we sometimes we've agreed

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: to see other people. We had an agreement, didn't we

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: to see other people. The reason I'm saying these words

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: is that I've got a new podcast with my best friend, Anita.

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I like, you've known Anita for a long time. I've

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: known Anita for seventeen years. She came here from Canada

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: seventeen years ago. I've got a media foo free job.

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: She is a forensic psychologist. But she's, as you know,

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: silly and all the rest of it. As I am.

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: But every Saturday and Sunday we walk my dog. We

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: take many for a walk, and we talk about all

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: kinds of things, and we make a thousand cups of

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: tea together. We drink a lot of wine together. We

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time together, and we never run

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: out of things to talk about. And often I think

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: the things that we talk about are the stuff that

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: other people are talking about too. So we're doing a podcast.

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: The first episode drops today, it's already dropped, and so

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: we'll cover all kinds of stuff, some personal revelations, some

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: like for example, today's one I read an article in

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: New York Times about a bookshop called the Ripped Bodice,

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: And this is a bookshop that just sells romance novels,

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: and people have traveled from all over America to go there,

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: that the cue to get in on opening day went

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: right around the block. The fiction genre of romance is

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: the only growing genre in literature at the moment. Women

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: are buying romance novels and it's always been embarrassing to

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: say you like them. But all latest TV shows, I

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: think Yellowstones basically a cowboy romance. What's romance with Shooting' yeah,

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: the Vampire. All of those things have come from either

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: romantic novels or have a romantic base to them. And

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: then we look at the nature of addiction, and when

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: a love of this kind of show kicks into addiction.

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: We think of addiction as drugs, alcohol, gambling. But Anita

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: knows of a psychologist or psycho hiatrist who was an

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: addiction psychiatrist who became obsessed with the Vampire novels to

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: the point where she would put one of those books

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: inside a medical tome and looked like she was doing research,

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: and she'd sit there all day reading them. She'd spend

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: her time between clients reading them. She was at a

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: keynote speaker in an event and she missed her spot

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: because she was sitting in a hotel room just devouring

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: these books. And it took her a while to realize

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: that she, in fact, she's an addiction psychiatrist. She in

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: fact had an addiction herself to these romance novels. Anyway,

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: we talk about what the podcast is called Double a Chattery,

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: like double a batteries, Man, you as batteries. No, we've

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: got our pictures as labels on tea bags because we

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: drink a lot of tea and we're old bags. A

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: couple of bags, a couple of bags. So it's called

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: double a Chattery. It'll drop every week. It will cover

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: things that are serious, silly, insightful, all kinds of stuff.

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: And we'd love you to join us wherever you get

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Sure, how excited I'm excited for you to listen.

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Of course I'll listen. The world needs another podcast, and

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: in a world of podcast your one will be great.

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you,
