• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a close, we wanted to look back on some winds
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and first women accomplished this year. This is by no
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: means an exhaustive list. If we left out someone you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: feel should be, we should be shouting out please right in. Also,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's pretty US centric, sorry about that, so I always
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: feel free to give us more prospective it from all
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: over the world. We love hearing about that. And also,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: this one's just going to be a bit shorter because
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we are trying to take a few days off and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming a lot of you are probably you know
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: who knows. We would love to hear how you celebrate
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: New Year's you know, Samantha and I like to stay
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: send us all of the information your traditions and or
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: new things. Absolutely absolutely please please let us know. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: as always, you know you've heard us talk about this
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a lot when we have our female first episodes with Eaves.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of context around first and what gets
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: recorded and what doesn't and who helps. You know, We're
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: always learning new things, which is exciting. Most of these
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: are very obviously recent because it happened this year, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: worth worth keeping in mind, right always, Yes, So I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: know this is like a loaning question. Is there anything
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of that you're gonna remember, Samantha, anything big for us,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you know, personally or for the show, anything anything at all?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Uh, there's so many things that I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: not going to remember, and so many things I'm gonna
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: blur with the last two years as well. This is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: kind of my problem. Uh, time no longer exists and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it just runs together as if it's like soups running together.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not really I think I'm hungry. But uh, for
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: me this year, there's a lot of growth, I will say, UM,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out my own stressors at times like these, Um,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: realizing how super awkward I am. Uh because I have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: been away from people, realizing that I really do love
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: masks in a way that because I have, I have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: developed a new habit, not a new habit or a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: more pervasive habit of talking to myself in public spaces.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Um so having a mask is now such a nice
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: cover up to pretend like I'm not doing that. Let
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: me think what else I feel see? Like, Yeah, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: feel like I can't think of anything really good because
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I don't do much. This is that loaded question of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: what have you been up to? And though I haven't
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: seen you in three years, nothing has changed, So I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. We will be having
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: some big announcements in I think next year that we're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not really talking about because we're crossing our fingers. That
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we've been working a lot on and I feel like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's been a focus for us for a few months.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I know people like what you'll get it soon enough,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but it's not scary. It's not gonna mess this up,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: so don't be freaking out. No, no, no big change.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's just some like big projects for us. So like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's been a focus for us, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping everything goes well. So dot dot dot on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that one. Um, yeah, what about you? And we were
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: on a list and we were on Oprah Daily List
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: at one point. I was very excited that by that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm like the fact that we are in the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: vicinity of the name of Oprah was a lovely, lovely surprise.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It was that was I'm totally with you, uh, where
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: everything is kind of blending together and like looking back,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, when did that happen? Like five years ago
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: or like yesterday? I'm not sure. And we recently had
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: our company holiday party and it was extremely awkward at first,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: because you know, you don't be like, how are you?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And I would just sit there in silence, like, uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: when was the last time I saw you? Right? Has
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: anything happened that isn't like a bummer to talk about
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: at a holiday party? I mean getting the vaccine booster
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that was nice, right, I figured I've made a lot
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of new cocktails this year. I'm very excited about my
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: growth and that yes I am as well because I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: get to enjoy your efforts in that I did discover
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: disco Luke, which I'm very happy about. Um, I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of it. I'm also like going
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: through a lot of growth and trying to figure out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: some stressors and where they come from. But also just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: through this show, it's very rewarding to always read new
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: things or learn new things or expand your mind. Still
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: still on my like coming out journey, I feel like,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and that's been really interesting. But yeah, I still I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think through this show that this I do feel like
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: every year I think, wow, I've just learned so much
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and a lot of it is from your listeners. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we wanted to shout out, um so, women
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: who did some amazing things this year's first and we're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: going to start in the world of sports. Um So,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we gotta start with the goat mobiles. Yes, became the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: first woman to ever attempt and complete the your Chinkle
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: double pip vault in competition in the US Classic. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: obviously that was huge. But then on the tales of that,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you have of Smoan Biles and Naomi Osaka, among many others,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: sparking conversation around mental health and sports, particularly when it
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: comes to women of color. So I think I'm gonna
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna remember that, and I think that is a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: very much needed conversation, and partially because of things like
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the USA Gymnastics, which reached the thirty eight million dollars
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: settlement with Larry Nasser survivors UM coach Laron Nasa. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: obviously this conversation around mental health and sports and sexual
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: assault and all of that is incredibly important to have
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: been very difficult and painful for people to speak out about,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: so right, Yeah, also should be noted she was named
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Times Athlete of the Year. Yes, yes, yes, yes, just
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and put that out there. Also want
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about Laurel Hubbard, who became the first openly
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: trans person to compete in the Olympics. We talked about
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: her a little bit during our Olympics Women Around the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: World special, so congratulations to that. Also was gonna put
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in here Michelle Kwan, not necessarily about sports, but who
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: was a world champion as well in the figure skating
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: world of Olympics. UM, but she has just been named
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the ambassador to police as she should be. I just
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: want to make that that's awesome, yes, yes, UM. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: then at the age of thirty nine, soccer player Carly
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Lloyd became the oldest woman to ever make the roster
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of the U S women's national team at the Olympics.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to put in here all
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of the stuff around uniforms and sexualized uniforms and codified
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: sexualized uniforms getting changed. We're seeing some changes thanks to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: women protesting and and being fined in some cases and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: really starting this conversation. So very happy to see that. Yes, beautiful.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And then at the Super Bowl, Sarah Thomas became the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: first woman to referee the Super Bowl were the NFL.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: She's one of those things that are like really right, wow,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: now I want to know everything about women refereeing things.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty because we talked about the baseball as well,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: that that's a rare thing, like the fact that it's happening,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's rare. M m. Yeah. So listeners, if you have anybody,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: any information, anybody we should shout out, please let us know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But for now, let's talk about some entertainment stuff. Um.

• 13:36
  Speaker 1: done amazing things, people who have done amazing things. This year. Um,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we've really made some strides. And I know, like it's

  Speaker 1: been hard, it's been a tough year. And having these things,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: having women like this, it's so inspirational, and it's it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: good too. It's good to shout him out. I like,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I just you know, I feel like sometimes it's easy
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to get really lost and I blame no one for
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this in all of the bad news, but it's nice
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to remember, um, some of the good things that people
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: have been doing. But speaking of getting lost in the sadness,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: let's not forget that that for women, particularly women of color,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: we've been the hardest hit by this pandemic, and there
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: have been substantial setbacks that we have talked about on
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: here um and are going to continue to talk about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And and also, you know, there's plenty of amazing women
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: activists who are fighting to make a lot of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: change we talk about possible, who don't get as much
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of the attention though that they should. And that's one
