  Speaker 4: my house.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what, that is so grown up of

  Speaker 2: grown up of you, because like that is never a

  Speaker 2: thing that.

  Speaker 3: I've ever said and probably will never way older that
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: As you will probably hear today, maybe the only grown
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: up thing I will say for the rest of the episode.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So we'll take it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Now. I'm starting to think, like, yeah, you're definitely one
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of those that might be uh.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: That's cool, that used to be cool, that used to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: be that is cool.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Sorry that hangs out, you know, listening to some good
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: music with some good drinks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Music and drinks are always good. I don't know how
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: cool that makes me though. I'm not sure about the
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: coolness factor, but I like a good drink and I
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: like a good song.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I love it well obviously.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Listeners, Yes, we are sitting with our super producer Rima.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Can you do a small introduction of yourself for our listeners?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, Hello, my name is Rema.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I am an audio producer, recording artists, sound designer based
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta and I produce for First Off Mom never
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: told you. Happy to be on the team. And yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: outside of iheartwork, I also do sound for movies sometimes
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and also make music sometimes, So I like a microphone.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love that because we didn't know you recorded music.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: How would you describe your music?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I haven't released anything in a long time. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: was in a band with some friends of mine, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: but it's always under the the indie rock umbrella. Synth, heavy, bass, heavy,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but yeah, some good old, good old rock and roll,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: good old rock and roll. But it's been a minute.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: It's been a minute since anything drop o good old rock.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You know what? We love anything rock and roll, synth, wonderful.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's a common uh factor through all
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of our producers. They know their music and they lost the.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Good I feel like it's a a lot of people
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: try to go into audio via music and then sometimes
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: figure out that they prefer doing more dialogue things like that,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: at least from what I've talked to. So a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: of the producers at iHeart even make their own music
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and stuff. It's a common through line.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I guess I would say so, But I also have
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to say, you're sounding cooler by the minute.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Again, we're just starting, Oh okay, just starting. It's downhill
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: from here, Yeah, it's down.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, I can't wait. But I appreciate being gassed uff,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Well, we love we're so happier here.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You really got kind of thrown into the fire because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we were like, well, we do all this stuff and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it happens at random times, and we promised we're normally
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not like this, and then we continued to be like.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: That, Yeah, that's all right, that's really all right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: It's part of the job built for it. I was
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: raised in the darkness. So they said, well, speaking of.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: How did you get to podcasting, how did this become
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: your career?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Good question.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I was never a kid or an adult even that
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: knew what they wanted to do.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And I was never.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Really good at any specific thing, if that makes sense.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: And so I went to college for something completely different
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: and kind of picked up audio work in.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: My spare time for fun.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: And then I ended up taking a like music technology
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: class at school, and I was like, oh, this is
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: so much better than what I've been doing, basically because
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I was studying like cognitive psychology and political sci which
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: is like shout out to the sciences and all of that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That's great, It just wasn't for me. I wasn't great
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: at school. So yeah, I started kind of working at
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a studio, and then after I graduated, freelanced audio stuff
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: radio plays and music and also some podcasts, and then
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: ended up getting a shot here at iHeart And that
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: was five years ago.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, and here I am. You came in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: middle of COVID. Yeah, I can't.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I started working here in twenty twenty one. Oh yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: we're making faces. You can't see listeners.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That's like you had to adjust in a way that
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: was unique timing. And I say this as a person
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like it came right before COVID, So I would have been
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: at the office off and on, and I wasn't even
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: full time yet for like five or six months, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: then we were like gone.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So I could only imagine it was a learning curve.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: But also in a way, in a way it kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: of suited me because I was never going to be
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: at the office from nine to five, you know what
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. That's that's something that I've ever had to do,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: and so in a way.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It kind of worked out.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: But obviously it was difficult to start anything and do
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: anything during COVID.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Being nosy, Uh, have you always been in Atlanta or
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: are you a transplant? No?
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I am a trans weird way to ask, I guess
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm a transplant in a way.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I was born in Atlanta, and I lived here until
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I was like six six or seven, and then I
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: moved to Southwest Asia in the Middle East.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I'm Araon. I grew up over there.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I went to college there, I graduated college, and then moved.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Back here afterwards.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, yes, because my sister was and yeah, my sister
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: and brother were living here.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: And the way things work over there is even though
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I lived there for I went to school in the UAE,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and once your student visa expires, like you got to go.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: So so when I graduated college, I graduated college and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I had to go, and I was like, well, I
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: guess I'll go to Atlanta for a little bit, not
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: thinking it was gonna last five years. But I love Atlanta,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: so this is this is home now.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Okay. I was gonna say, that's a big jump.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't really think you were gonna be like out,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like out of the country, that you were one of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the few who was truly born in Atlanta. So you
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you are unique and so great because like no one's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: born in Atlanta.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: It's very rare real. But also you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Know, maybe the listeners will catch that. You know, it
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: wasn't technically Atlanta. It was like I was in Woodstock,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: which is north of.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you know you're from the neck of the wood. Yes,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I'm in North Georgia.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to drive past that town to get
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to my town further up. My family leg and j
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: great apples. Did you tell about the accent apples?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: There you go?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: No one else outside of Georgia, and we're talking about.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I will be going there in a couple of months
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: to get some apples.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Probably there you go, there you go, Okay, I don't.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Know what would start us racism.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: That's so that's just a thing fancy or like what's
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: nicer hospital?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, actually so true. Every time I drive by,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: like through there, now, I'm like, this was not how
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it was there, but what is that? That's how I feel.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm much older than you.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, very excited. I love learning about background. I'm like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that's one of the things.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: That I, uh, I have to.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Put in my this is what she did, what she did?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Speaking of notes, because I have to also have this
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in my notes. I'll ask you your birthday off mic too,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: so because that's gonna be a thing that we do.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But I need to know. One, what is your favorite
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: type of food that you can have, like, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for whether it's like Mexican, Chinese, all those things too.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: What is your favorite dessert or do you like do
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you like dessert us? Another thing? And three with the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: one snack that you must have all the time. These
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: are very important questions for me. I know, I'm just
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: saying I have to.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got a drink going and we're talking serious
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: stuff now, Okay, So I'm I'm Arab, I'm Palestinian, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: so that to me is the greatest cuisine in the world.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: So I guess if we're talking, yeah, like genre of food,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: it will always be Arab food.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Like, no doubt, no doubt on that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I'm also vegan and if someone they have to tell
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: you that they're vegan, it's within the first five minutes
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: of you know.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you know it's important.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: But a lot of that kind of Mediterranean food lends
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: itself very easily to veganism as well. So shout out
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to my Arabs over there making delicious food.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So yeah, does that answer the first question? Question? Check? Check? Second?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Second, do you eat desserts, and if so, what is
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: your favorite.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I do eat desserts. I love dessert. That was gonna
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: be judgement, I don't. I would just give you a lot.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: My favorite dessert is probably a brownie or a cookie.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I love chocolate. I love chocolate. I like to bake,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and that's usually what I'm baking.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: If I'm bacon, okay, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Milk chocolate for sure, unless you're if you're baking things.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you need to use dark or semi sweet. But
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: to just eat is milk either oat milk and rice milk.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Those they make good chocolates.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And then the last question was the one snack that
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you need to make sure is around.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: That's actually okay, I'm sure I'll think of a better
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: answer tonight when I'm rethinking everything I said today. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: now that we're talking about chocolate, I love eating chocolate chips,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: so I will literally take straight milk chocolate chips, obvious
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: semi sweet chocolate chips. So maybe that's because if you're
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: ever like late night and you need something sweet, you
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: just open up a packet of chocolate.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Chips and it'll you'll have a good time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: You'll have a good time, and that's the market for
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a good night, you know what.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, maybe that, okay, okay, no.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the things that I have to have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: in my list of understanding about you, and later I
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: will ask about like allergies, but we won't do this
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: on the secondary or whatever. You know, you know you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: letting us know you're vegan is very helpful as well. Yes, again,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: we will. We will be making sure that we go
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to appropriate places when we go to sealiscate.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Thankfully.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Atlanta if we're hanging out in Atlanta is a very
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: vegan friendly city and I always have good food when
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I'm here, so m h.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: There's so many new restaurants out there too that I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: want to try for sure, like new vegan locations that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Here, yeah, and a lot of places even if they
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: don't have vegan food on the menu, which they should,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: they'll just make me something, which is basically.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah for me.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: The walks in and they're like, hey, yeah, what's you
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: my favorite.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Restaurant at this point, Like we walk in and they're like, so,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: what are we feeling today? And I'm like, well, maybe
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: something something like a pasta or something or you have
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: the area and they're like, yes, media, they're just sick
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: of me asking the server what what can be made
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: being and they're.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Like, just we'll do it instead. No, I love it
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The other questions because this is something that we've discussed
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: often amongst ourselves, and we've been discussing for a while.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So would you consider yourself an extrovert, an introvert, or
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: an ambi avert?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, I consider myself an extrovert generally, but I'm an
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: extrovert that needs a lot of processing time, a lot
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: of solo processing time. But I feel I find myself
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: the having the most fun and the most confident within
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: with around people versus by myself.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you like to be out? How do you
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: feel about dancing?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Love to dance? Okay, that's good to.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: You know some people who just did not want to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: do this, you know, they're like, that's their nightmare is
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to go to an area that's dancing. So I need
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to know because I love good dancing. I am an
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: introvert that can be extroverted, but I love some dancing.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, I can an extrovert that can be introverted, for sure.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: So we'll meet in the middle, you know, on the
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: dance floor.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I like it any because you've gone back and forth
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: like you, you have been all across the board when
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it comes to that level. Do you consider yourself more
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: of an introvert now?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: No?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I actually I've taken like test and test and test,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and it's always like.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You because I'm an extrovert, and not even by a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: little by a lot.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I think the thing is sometimes people forget that.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean I have to have people. It
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: means I have to have a new stimulus real I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: need something to stimulate me. And I think that's absolutely true.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So even though I'm like not going out as much
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: as I used to, I do still need that kind
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of like new.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Thing I relate to those. Yeah, I do not have that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Do you guys know your Meyer's Briggs. Now I'm asking questions,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: do you guys know?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I have to go back and like I had to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: go back and look at the initials mind myself what
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, little letters. Uh, I don't think about it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know yours?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Last time I took it, I was in E N
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: F P. But I've changed throughout my lifetime. Yeah, taking
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: the test, I guess.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So I was an I n f P. So where
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: was that one? Uh huh.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Annie.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I still have the results somewhere and I could look
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it up, but I remember it started with an e yes.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It was not surprised, and I think it was like
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the diplomatic piece.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: One right, all right, So that means where you need
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to retake this and come back with the.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Newer results and see where we are going to do.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I like to follow up every personality.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: This is I love a good quiz like you. Like
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: we are from that generation that took the sixteen magazine,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: seventeen magazine and lived by it. This is my love language.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: We are that generation, so we will put you with us.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's awesome.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: That's the equivalent of like an iPad kid now right.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Essentially, all of my seventeen magazine definitely had their goals
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and like this is my soulmate.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I was so jealous of anyone I wasn't allowed to
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: get those magazines growing up, and I was really jealous
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: of any of my friends who had zac efron on
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: their magazine.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You know, Okay, I learned this yesterday and I'm still
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: processing it because I had a huge crush on Ryan Gosling,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: like nine years old, huge crush when she says and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm much older than you also, So this was like
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in his early career, Ryan Gossin. I learned a twenty
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: year old in my life thinks he's new and like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: up and she's discovered him. And let me tell you,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I was fighting back everything to not be like I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: was your Hercules every day recording it three day.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Have you heard about this new guy, Ryan Gotlin.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: That is crazy because he has been working since he
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: was a child.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was on Miss Barbie, like yeah, oh my gosh,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: even recently, how did you miss?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, Like he's gotten to the point in his
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: career that is no longer independent films, like he's been
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: able to do that and liked himself the actor that
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: he can do the MC without any kind of like fallout.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, he's My brain is just running through
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: a list of one hundred right constantly movies.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I couldn't even say anything back. I was so shocked
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: you were having a moment.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I am a certified Ryan Gosling fan as well.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: That is my white boy of choice.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Him and Robert Pattinson are my two white boys of
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: choice and that's it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Well, now he's brought.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Up Robert Pattinson. I have a question that has is
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: not on out outline. Uh, do you have a fandom
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that you actually was a diehard about? Because when I
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: think of Robin Pattinson, obviously Twilight is going to be
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the number one and I loved Twilight and like that
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: is my shame and love at the same you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: so I and Annie has many too. For now, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: think it's still Star Wars. Yeah, Annie, would you still
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: claim that as Okay?
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: So what about you? I do love Star Wars. I
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: do love Twilight.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Growing up, Oh my god, I can't believe I'm saying
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: this on a microphone. Growing up, I was really online.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I was really online, and I was really on Tumblr,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: and I had a like blog for my favorite band
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: at the time, which.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Was The Killers, So I was really.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Obsessed with them for a very long time. So probably
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: that was like my fandom. And then also just being
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: on Tumblr, you're in many different fandoms at once, the
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Sherlock of It All and the Doctor Who and Star
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Wars and all that. But I was always a music fan,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: obsessive music fan. But it's I still and I still
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: love them. I still think they're a great fan. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: just I'm not as I'm don't repost photos of them
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: for hours every day, you know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, So there's a rumor that the MySpace guy
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: is coming back to redo MySpace.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Oh and I feel like.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: That would be a great opportunity to get back into
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the Killers fandom and being able to post that song
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a different song on the daily.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: So you know what, don't threaten me with a good time?
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Like Amy also has a diehard fandom of a band
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: as well, Mary and be a part of it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I looking back, it's wild to me how much I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: like learned to play guitar because of Green Day, because
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I thought I could meet Billy Joe Armstrong. I like
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: joined a band named after Green Day in an attempt
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to meet That's awesome.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Wait what was the name of the band? I don't
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: think I know this.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Left turn because we believe me and my friends were
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: going to a concert and we got behind the tour
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: bus and they they took a left, and we took
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: her right, despite us shouting at our poor chaperone, like
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: take her left, And so we think our whole life
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: could have been different if we had taken a left right.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: And you're not wrong. You know who knows it would
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: have happened. I could be a music like a phenomen
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, that's a fanfic waiting to happen. Really,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: it hasn't already happened, Anny, this was true?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: It has has it happened?
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Annie?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I'm staring at you real hard. Yeah, I try to
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: see if I can get an answer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: She's not going to an going silent mode.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, killers I got I'm getting such information.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's one of the ice niche. That's some niche
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: for you. This is I'm delighted.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Here's one of the icebreaker questions that I'm like, I've
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: always loved this question.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know why.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's the it's the repetitiveness in the rhyming.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: But if you were a tree, what kind of tree
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: would you be?
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Every time you asked me a question, I guess I'm like, Wow,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: good question.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Question. Oh that's such a good question.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Oh man, it's funny too because it requires the knowledge
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of tree. I know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I feel like my favorite tree is a willow tree.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I don't and maybe that's what I would be. Then
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I like that they they hold a lot in the
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: world underneath them, and or they flow with the movement
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: of air. So maybe that maybe a willow tree and
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: there's something something sad about them.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say there's something wise about them.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: They feel wild, and I think they just endure and
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: are long lasting.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, I believe that there's something about the weeping willow too,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: and the maybe that I feel like a big, old,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: beautiful tree. Or I'll say a palm tree because I'm
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Arab and we had a palm tree growing up.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Very different, but I love it, very different, very different.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, maybe, I don't think I've ever asked you that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Have I ever asked you that question? No, this is
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: the first I have that. It's a question. Oh really,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I love that. I don't know why.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: When I like college years, this is what I would
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: ask So, yeah, any if you were a tree, what
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: kind of tree would you be?
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know a lot about trees, which is
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: why I made the comment.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: So I love good. I love a willow.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I like I would like one, and I don't know
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: which one it would be, but I like one that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: changes its colors, the leaves change colors like the bottom
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: something with some like transformation.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: See like I get real like theoretical and the ideal
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: because I'm like the tree that I hate the most
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: is actually, I think the Georgia State Tree, and I
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: just have feelings about the Magnolia tree.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Magnolia, I do, I.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Know. But this is the thing though, because like I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: also am like the person who says I love cats.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love dogs, but I would be probably
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: a cat more than a dog myself in personality. But
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the reason I say that about the magnolia tree is
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: because what I remember growing up, because there was a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: giant one, which they are. They get huge, they smell
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: nice for a short period of time, and then they
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: get really stinky to me real quickly with the flowers.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: And then those damn leaves when they fall off, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: if you get hit by one, if you get poked
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: by one, it hurts so ridiculously like it's so annoying.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I think, I remember, I have memories of it falling
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: on my head in the prickly list, and I'm cursing
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: at a damn tree. And then the amount of leaves
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that are around and that just sit there and that
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: just like rot, I get so angry for really no
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: reason at all. And I'm sure I'm having a lot
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: of like people and are like being arbologists. Those are words, right,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Arbologists are gonna be like, how dare you say this
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: about the sacred tree?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: But like everything about that?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: But I feel like I'm kind of that tree, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: like I it seems like I could be really nice
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and like very like appealing at first, and then more
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you get to monomia, You're like, oh, she mean, and
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that's kind of how a lot about that Magnolia's.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So you went on a deeper level. I like, yeah,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: because a pretty tree. I think I like his.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: You were like personality wise, were personality rise?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could choose whichever, but personality wise, that
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: is how I feel. I have discovered a new tree
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: because as I've gotten older and owning houses and trying
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to find things to like make my house look pretty like,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I've started to pay attention to bushes and trees. Oddly,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: it's the eastern red bud, which you've seen them around town,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: but they have like heart shaped leaves and they change colors.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I wish to be that tree. That's a good one.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I could choose it for looks. That's a good one.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: It's like this just like painting.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they turn from green to like that pink color,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: that bright color, and they keep they're just and they
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: are shaped like hearts.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: That's beautiful. I couldn't know. It's like a fruit tree.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: We could be a peach tree or some tree coconuts.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: That also seems to mean my partner really knows a
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: lot about plants and trees and such things. And I'm
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: feeling like they're going to listen to this and be like,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: you didn't say this tree, and so now I'm trying
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: to think of it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: We could do a mulberry tree. Those are nice.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like we need to do We'll do a
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: round two with follow ups, because obviously we're getting some good,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: hard hitting questions and there's more to be said. There's
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: so much better said, especially if we're just gonna talk
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: about trees in itself, and y'all, I have a giant,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: giant fig tree in my backyard that only continues to grow,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and it now smells like rotten fruit around my house
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: because of the amount of molded figs that have fallen
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: in the amount of bees and squirrels in the amount
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: of times that my partner and I have been dungue
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: by said bees, we are now enemies with this vic tree.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: So you hate magnolia trees, you hate fig trees.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Really, we're starting to have enemies with some of the trees.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Like there, they're making my lists.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Real aging is I think having more enemies than you expected,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: because right now I'm having me and my partner are
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: having a war with the squirrels that eat our bird food,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: our bird seeds. And I used to like squirrels and
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: now I don't.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Right things are from afar, And then you start to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: be like you're not. I know you are. You come
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to destroy me and I will win this game.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I feel like that was a very wise
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: thing you said you did.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna, you know, try to keep that energy up,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: just gather my enemies yet.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, continuing with our heart hitten questions, please, what
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: are your top three favorite movies and what was the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: last movie booker show that made a lasting impact on you.

  Speaker 4: And then there's a movie by a Lebanese director named.

  Speaker 4: to find, but if it's ever playing in a local theater,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: please check that one out.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: It is a wonderful.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Movie about kind of like the hidden hidden history of
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: women through fighting occupation in Palestine and Lebanon. And it
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: like interviews like dreams and memory and like memories of ancestors,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: and it turns into like using collective memory of Arabs
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: to tell a story that is often not told.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that'll put it on our list. You should
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: definitely come on Feminist Movie Friday.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I love a movie and I can talk about
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: a movie for an hour.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: For sure. Yes, on the list.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, any anything that recently has left an impact
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: on your movie book.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, Well it's funny you say that because literally
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: yesterday my partner and I finished watching the original run
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: of twin Peaks, the Lynch TV show. God that was
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: insane and beautiful and crazy, and I'm still processing that one.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: There's still more to watch, but I'm taking a small break,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: so maybe that and then movie wise, I also recently
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: watched All About My Mother, the Pedro Almodovar movie. Also
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: highly recommend add it to the Thebtist Friday list. It
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: was like a gorgeous movie about womanhood, parenthood, friendship, and
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: forgiveness in women womanhood And I am listen and I'm
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: not even I'm I'm a non binary guy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: So I don't even.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: But there's something about watching a movie about women that
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: really that really supports and promotes just like the complexity
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: of each character versus bringing them down to just the
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: trait of being a woman anyways.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: That we love the intersectionality of it all because that's
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: that's what we want to see. So I was just yeah,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: thinking about like any you were talking about obsession and
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: like the layers that it has, it keeps you thinking
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: it's movies like that and books like that and shows
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: like that that just really like what is happening, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: at the same time like leave you that pondering and
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: that feeling of like.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Hmmm, it stays with you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Those moments I love hate those moments, and it's kind
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of my general vibe I think in life. All right,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: now we're getting down to the nitty gritty, real important stuff,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: real important stuff. You ready. How do you feel about
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Sex in the City anyway?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Everything I just said exactly.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Because I have watched Sex in the City. I will
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: say it was a painful watch for me because Carrie.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Annoys me so much. You're not right.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Your decision making annoys me so much. And I don't
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: know where you guys are on your watch of on
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: the show. I remember you were doing that, but the
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: way it ends is crazy.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: M Yeah. So Annie has not seen all of these yet.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: She is slowly building up. We are very slowly building
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: up because season three, Okay, we're almost done with season three.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: We're almost done with season three. We're almost done with
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: season three.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: The reason we asked this is a you will have
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to come on as a part of our show. It's
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like the initiation watch with us and reaction
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: with us, because we think it's very important that the
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: entirety of Semantid does this as a team happy to.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Be so we will put that in there.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: But with that, just without like following up later with
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: our quiz, what is what character of the sex city
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: in the city would you be most like?
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Another bigger? Okay, that's really hard for me.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, Also to be honest, I have not watched this
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: in a really long time, so I'm using memory of
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: why I was annoyed at every single person on the show.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: But it's definitely not Care is definitely not Charlotte. Maybe
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: I would probably say Samantha because Samantha is the most firstly,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: is like gay and so that obviously, and then it's
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: also the character that actually was kind of the least
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: taken by the men in her life. I think maybe
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: from what I remember, kind of owned herself.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Although have you guys watched the movies yet?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: So she Annie, did you watch the first one?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Though you didn't want to what you did? Right?
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: No, I's everybody to go watch that horrible name Night
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Shaalan movie that happening and.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: They were real mad at me though.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: So I seen the first one, I refused to I
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: was gonna go. I was like, I was already I
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: would No, we were already. I was not emotionally prepared.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: And so when we do, because we will if we
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: make it through. That's the biggest try to get through that,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: because we do want to take it as a whole.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: But no, but why what what?
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Well, just because the second movie is set in the Middle.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: East and it's so bad stereotype it is everything. Yeah,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: oh my god, it's so terrible, and why would you
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: do this in the Middle East? Why would you do that? Literally?
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: And that is to say, like Samantha in that movie
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: really upsets me.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, but maybe maybe Samantha. What was the fourth ones? Miranda?
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Right, Miranda, Well, Miranda should have been gay too. They
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: should have all been gay. But that's just my head canon.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I guess you haven't, just like us, I have not
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: seen the follow up. So Miranda ends up figuring some
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: things out, not to not to spoil too much, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: she ends up figuring some things.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, we'll we'll just leave that up. I mean
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: we'll live at that.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I would say, like Miranda's attitude is probably
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: even though during its release. She was seen as the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: annoying one, but she was probably the most real to
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: me in like in like understanding she doesn't give up,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: have to give up her life if she even with
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: all these things, and also kind of coming to terms
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: with the fact that sometimes Carrie is.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: The worst over the top.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, excuse me to the Carrie fans, I I,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: you know, support women's rights and wrongs.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I think, there you go, there you go.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, we don't have to be fans.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Of all them. Yes, absolutely right, that's just a thing
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: we know, okay.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And then as tradition, because we've been doing a little
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: bit of Sex in the City such that I had
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to send out a quiz to y'all. It is an
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: updated quiz, so I had to take in myself as well.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Annie. I'm made sure you took it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: So in your quiz, who did you end up getting?
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Rima?
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: The Sex and the City character I am most like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: was Samantha?
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Really that's what you got? I was so yeah.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I was just like, oh right, maybe Okay does know,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm just kidding.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Any BuzzFeed I actually knows what's going on, but got
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: their finger on the this this one time, what about
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: you Annie, Well, I got Carrie. Carrie, you know you
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: know what.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: The funny thing is, We've taken similar quizzes I think
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: three or four times. I still maintain I haven't seen
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the show, so some of the questions I'm like, I
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: don't know who any of these people are, so I'm
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: just like picking randomly, like this guy I don't know maybe,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it. I got Carrie and it said
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you probably think you're a Samantha or Charlotte. Try not
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to overthink it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, which is her?
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Her?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Acute you feel which, by the way, I was also
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: a Carrie, and I was very disappointed. I kind of
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: wanted to throw the phone because I was like, this
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: is this is a lie.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: You're a lie. I don't know me, you don't know me?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: How dare you? How dare you? Yeah?
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: I also I was answering and I was like some
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: of these like faces that they were having us shooes between.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't remember who this guy is.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: I have to say too.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: One time a listener wrote in with what I think
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: is a really good point is that like usually people
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: are blended characters, so like you're a Miranda and a
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Samantha like you're a blend.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: So some quiz is do it that way. I prefer that.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I actually I would like the side characters to be
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: some of the people that we are. They talked about Magda,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I was like she was judgmental, but then she was
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: a great caretaker.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I would I would be her. Let me be her,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: be is great.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: And then the biggest and the most important question of all,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Team Big or Aiden.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Don't do this to me? I had to Samantha doesn't
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: pull her punch.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna I'm gonna answer this, But it's not
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: because I like the person I'm gonna say. Let me
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: be clear, Okay, it's just because I have to say
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Aiden because I hate Big.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I hate Big.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: That is the correct answer.
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: That is the correct, and I think that is the
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: correct and I think he has to stay away from
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: every woman ever basically, so maybe.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Aiden, Yes, that is the correct That's the only answer.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: The overall answer for all of it is Steve.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: But exactly.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: But what's so funny is I just saw a clip
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: of the woman who plays Charlotte Kristen's her name is
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Kristin something.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: She has a podcast now surprise surprise and she was
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: talking to someone. It was a celebrity and they were
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: talking about Big do you have any plans.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: To see and just like that, I didn't. We haven't
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: watched it. I doubt we're gonna get there.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: We watched the first season, Actually didn't we did, Yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: we didn't. We had a spot, we had a sponsor.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: But and and just for those listeners right now, if
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: you're planning to watch, just like that, I would go
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: ahead and stop. If you don't want any spoilers, do
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: you mind if I tell you a spoiler?
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Big Dies? Oh you know I did hear that?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: So at one point in that podcast, the person was like,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: you know, what what happens?
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Can he just go away?
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: And Kristen's like, oh Kristen Day, her face goes Should
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: we tell him? Yes?
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, everyone was like oh thank god. Yeah. I mean
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: about damn time.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: When we were in the middle of it. I was like,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: they went through all that just for him to die.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: That's so true, Oh my god, weird. But okay, that's
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: a choice.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: But I thought that was hilarious because he has something
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: that everybody has now got him on board.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: And be like he's the worst. Yeah, he's so bad.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: And and the thing is is that this is why
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: I'm annoyed with Carrie, because I'm like, girl, how many
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: times are.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: You gonna let someone do this to you?
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: But you know, we all fall into our patterns and
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: all those things. I love to judge like a TV character,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: but if you are relating to carry at all, I'm
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: not judging you.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't say, like, I think the back to back
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: bad choices were the parts that really would just like
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: why why are we doing this? What's what's happening? But
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: like some of the things made sense, some of the
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: things like sure, but the back and board, like we've
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: talked about the cultural context and honestly, a lot of
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: like uh, freedom taught women and like their sexuality and
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: opening up. Maybe like some of the younger generation be
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: like that was too much, y'all need to calm down.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe because we were like in our generation, we were
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: way too repressed that we went way overboard to THEO
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Like gen zs are like, stop it, y'all.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't it? Like gen Z is like not really
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: into sex as much.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: They're like, why is this such a big deal to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Y'all's not a big deal to us, and then we
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: wanted we the uh you know what millennials. I was like,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: gen Z millennials slash me, I'm a part gen X millennial.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Like you're welcome. Yeah, the hard work that we did
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: not mean allowed you did not have to care. No,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny because that's kind of the re
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: or gens. Sex in the City, though, really did bring
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: in something even for the newer generation of like how
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: like we started to talk about things. There's a lot
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: of cringe moments of like, oh yeah that did not age. Well,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: this did not.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Watching things in hindsight is always different. Yeah, for sure.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm I consider myself gen Z, but I'm
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: like I'm in that cusp gen Z millennial. Okay, so
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: I kind of have It's like I have an angel
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: and a devil, but it's like two devils on my shoulder.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Then, yes, I'm the excellennial. I'm on the Okay, yes, yes, absolutely,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I'm old. Everything's fine.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we should end with one something something surprising,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: fun fact about you that you would tell us and
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: our listeners.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm like, I've never had a fact
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: about me ever in my life.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Actually, oh, there, you've had a few, including uh, like
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the being a rock star essentially, right, that's pretty cool.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Full blown rock start. No, I think not even close.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: But I this is a hard one for me right now.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: We also found out you have a cat. Yes, I
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: have an eighteen year old cat. I have an eighteen
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: year old cat and her name is five and I
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: got her when I was in fifth grade. We found
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: each other, so.
