  Speaker 2: what about you?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I have red wine, which is appropriate because today is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: our annual Life Day Happy Hour celebration. Yes, I think
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we've done one for the past three years. But yes,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the traditional color of Life Day is red, so red
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: wine is appropriate. I did look up my previous Life
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Day outline, which must have been I think I did
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a more like Women of Life Day last year, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the previous year was Life Day, and I wrote in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: there and the outline where it was like, oh, I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: gonna make this disco luke outfit. I made that outfit
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and now you can buy that shirt on tea public
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and good friend of the show Marissa has one and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: wore it last time I saw her. Love it because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: she's amazing. I love it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So Life Day is November seventeenth, which is this Friday.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: As we're recording this I'm very excited. I'm gonna talk
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: about this a bit more at the end, But it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: funny to me that I love how commercials now, even
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: commercials which started way too damn early by the way,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are like the holidays are so stressful and we're all
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: acknowledging it, yes, and then friends Giving kind of became stressful,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and now for me, life day is like my why stressful?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Though it's stressful because what normally happens is and this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is a me thing and out of them thing. It
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: happens the saddurday after Thanksgiving, and normally I'm Intalanaga that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: day and I'm helping my mom do all of the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: right the decorating and stuff, and it's just like getting
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: there because it's usually not in Atlanta, which is fine,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but like it's like I'm in Dealanaga and it's not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and I'm with my mom all day and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this stuff. So it's sort of a I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: always want to go and I almost never make it,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and I feel really guilty about it, which I am
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: good to talk about it at the end. I am trying
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this year. I'm trying really hard. I'm even trying to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like float the idea with my mom. We need to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: do all the stuff on Friday, Okay, but then I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: feel bad, even though again that's a me thing and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: not a her thing. I just can't be everywhere at once,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and I want to be sometimes that. I do love
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: life day. I love celebrating it with my friends. It's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a really low key thing, and I have I Originally
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I had a whole separate outline for this Samantha that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: was much more intense, and then I was like, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: need some happiness in my life and I need some
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: joy and I'm not going to do this right now.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Oh lord, I'm curious, but don't want to know. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: am going to talk about it later. It's it's nothing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's like silly Star Wars drama. It is not like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: anything major, okay. But originally I was going to talk
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: about that, and I was like, I really want this
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to be a fun time this year, and I don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: need it. I just don't need it right now. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to that end, a lot of people have been sending
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: me a bunch of fun Star Wars videos of people
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: finding joy in Star Wars, and I've loved it. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I got one today from my great friend Katie, who
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: will be celebrating Life Day with video of a very
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: young girl making a lightsaber and she was so happy
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, this is the thing. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: did it too, and I'm an adult and it was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so fun.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And then you bought a real one or actually, yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that was a real one, yes, quote unquote real one,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a Disney one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been very clear. Yes, yes, if only, I'm sorry.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I do think about every year, because admittedly I'm probably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the only one who will watch the holiday special which
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Life Day is based upon, every year, so every year
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we kind of try to come up with a new
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: thing to do. I really wanted when I was a kid,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I had this board game that had a VHS that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you played along with it, you know, and we had
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: so much fun and I always won because I was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the oldest, and if you were the oldest, you didn't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: get the dark side points as long as everyone was
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing, and none of us wanted to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: be in the dark side, so I always wanted. That's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: so I had a blast. But I don't. I don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: have a VCR anymore, but I bet I could find
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a YouTube like a video of it on YouTube. Because
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I still have the game. I still have the board
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and all the pieces and stuff. But okay, this is
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just gonna be kind of a brief celebration again looking
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for joy this year. So I don't actually know if
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I've ever because I was looking back over my old outlines.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever described the plot. I've described
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what life that is. I've described there is a plot, sure, Somantha,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: there is a plot. Okay, so the plot very very
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: basically is it? Well, okay, small, it's a variety show.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Let me say that it's a seventies, late seventies variety show.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It's meant for you if you have been high on
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: something like that level.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, well it feels like a fever dream, but yes
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it is. There is a plot. It is based around
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Schewbacca's family, Mala, his wife, Itchi, his dad, Lumpy, his
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: son waiting on Chewbacca.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, every time, they just did not like him.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Lumpy was not having a good day. Okay, Lumpy had
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to watch an insurance video.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: It was porn with his grandpa.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Lumpy did not witness the porn, only Itchy and probably
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Art Cartney's character who I can never remember his name,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but yes, there is porn in this briefly well actually
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it feels like a lifetime But anyway, they're waiting for
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a Han and she to get home for Life Day,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: which is a Wookie holiday celebrating life that involves wearing
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: red robes and making ornaments. There's a tree of Life
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: making food. It's essentially Star Wars Christmas Thanksgiving maybe combined.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: They were truly trying to capitalize on that, and it's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: interspersed with just very strange performance pieces as a variety
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: with b Arthur. That's how that's the main introduction to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Boba Fette, even though he actually was introduced a little earlier,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but that's where most people were introduced to him. Be
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a car team and uh yeah, that's it. You have
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Luke trying to get there and he's got this makeup
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: thing going on, and everyone speculates just because of the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: car crash and he was on pain medication. But the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: timing doesn't work out. And by the way, the legend
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of that car crash infamous. We don't know. You have
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Carrie Fisher, who was clearly high singing, singing in it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It is notoriously very bad. There are many many podcasts
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on this very network, you can listen to about it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: On other networks you can listen to about it. There's
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a documentary I'm going to talk about about it. But yes,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they finally come together at the end and celebrate Life
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Day in space like in the gap, like literally in space,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like there's in stars somehow. But anyway, they have a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: good they have a good old time.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I was looking this up and this is going to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: become relevant later because I was just curious and I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: found this quote from Wikipedia, and the question was do
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the Sith, which is like Darth Vader and the Emperor,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: celebrate Life Day. Here's the quote. The old Sith Empire,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for instance, considered Life Day to be a disgraceful menace
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of a holiday, which encouraged activities unbecoming of an imperial citizen,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: such as dancing and inclement weather, singing on patriotic carols,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and engaging in non violent physical contact with wookies. Because yes,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the Empire sucks. I don't know why I have to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: convince people of that sometimes, but it does. And they
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: were terrible to hookies. But okay, so it was sort
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of like real bad and it confused a lot of people.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Although I did read to quotes from people at the time,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: including the creators, but also some people who watched it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and like, yeah, that's just that's what variety shows were
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like at this time. And then people found it later
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in the eighties when that faded away and did not
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: know what was going on, and then it just got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: worse and worse. I don't know, but in our modern times,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Life Day is experiencing like Arise. There is a cookbook
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: which I own, a Life Day cookbook. You can buy
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: items Life Day items, and I'm not talking like fan
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: made items. I'm talking like at Disney Items. They have
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a whole page. They have a whole celebration in Disney
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: World for Life Day. Probably Disneyland too, but I know
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Disney World for a fact. Last year, Disney Plus released
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a Life Day Low five playlist you could just listen
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to on Life Day, which I did listen to, of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: course you did. They have the lego version which came
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: out a few years ago, which is very funny to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: me because currently they only have two segments from the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: holiday special on Disney Plus. They do not have the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: whole thing, which yes you cannot still you still can't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: get that anywhere.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Not for Annie, and you forced people to work.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's only me, the peddler of the holiday.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: It's uch.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And then there is a documentary, Yes, it is called
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Disturbance in the Forest. I haven't seen it yet. I'm
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: desperate to see it, which is about how this got made,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but also all of the wild stuff that was happening
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in Star Wars at this time, because this is not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the only thing, and it's by far the most like, notorious, legendary,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: infamous thing, but this is not at all the only thing.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I do sometimes feel bad that I find such joy
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: out of something that clearly a lot of people wish
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: everyone would forget.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Did the author ever talk about it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never looked it up. No, she
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: probably did. Like I said, the creators of it were
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: kind of like, hey, it wasn't that bad, and actually,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you guys should watch it again and we'll talk about it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So if I had been in it, like I can understand. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I totally understand, but I feel like a certain point
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I would lean in, but I would dread every life day.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, our hair comes, oh comes. But
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, even even with all of that, it is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: still pretty niche, like, I don't think if I just
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: say happy Life Day to even a casual Star Wars fan,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: they will know what I'm talking about. Maybe I'm wrong, actually,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it's still not super well known
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: because like the Lego special, people I'm sure watched it,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: but if you didn't know where it was coming from,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you would be like, oh, Life Day,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: here's what it is. And I was thinking about this
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. I mean one, I really
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: really really love you know, I love like I love
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the super niche, nerdy shit. That's like one of my
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: favorite things about Dragon Con is like Nerds building off
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Nerds building off, Like you find a costume that is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: like three degrees away from the original nerd that made
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that original costume. Like I love that. That's why I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: love going as Zisco Luke because I found it and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is stunning and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: amazing and I have to go and when someone recognizes it, yes,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So the Holiday Special, I think, you know, for a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: certain sect of fans, it is iconic, it is legendary.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I think people have heard of it. They might know
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: nothing about it of them as bad but they've heard
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of it. But I would also say we've all kind
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of largely agreed that it didn't it's not canon, right,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: or it is canon but only parts of it, which
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: leads me to canon Star Wars canon right now versus
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: fannin and head canon. Oh lord, Okay, so I looked
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this up. Is the Holiday Special canon? So as of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, a life day is canon? It was actually
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: made canon in the video game and then like an
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: entry in Star Wars dot Com. I think the Holiday Special,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: though only pieces of it are canon only pieces.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But does they put on.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I think that yes, But also I know be Arthur's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: character is canon, but I don't know. I'm sure it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not in the say I think she is a bartender,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but it's like that piece of the Holiday Special isn't canon,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but the character is canon. If that makes sense. Okay,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But I mean that does bring me to my next question,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: which I was pondering late last night when I was
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: trying to sleep. Is canon even a thing anymore? Because
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: at this point there is so so so much And
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I actually remember I think it several years ago I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: lamented to you there's going to be a day like
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to keep up with everything,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and I've arrived at that day. I think I was
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: already at that day. I just didn't realize I was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: already at that day because there's so much just so
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: many books, there's so many comics, there's so many games,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and canon is not consistent anymore. Even though they have
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a person who is in charge of making sure canon
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: is consistent, it is not. There are many things that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: don't agree in canon. And I've also been thinking about
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this because okay, there's been a I'm sure you've heard
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: about this, and we're actually going to come back. I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: planning on I haven't told you this month, but I'm
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: planning on coming back about and talking about all this
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: handwrigging that is going on about fatigue, like Marvel fatigue
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and Star Wars fatigue, and all the pressure on like
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: women as they're more women led and more diverse, because
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of course that took longer. Now is when that fatigue
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is in, which is for various reasons. I'm sure the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: fatigue is real, I believe, but also other things, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: as a fan of Star Wars, I feel like an
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: interesting thing is happening because one of the reasons Star
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Wars specifically is like maybe the fatigue is no one
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: gets like everything is too dependent on everything else now,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: which is true for Marvel as well. But it's interesting
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to me because I have read all of the books
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that came out in the nineties. I've read all those comics,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and what's confusing me is that they're bringing things from
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: that into the new canon. But I can't tell what
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: all pieces they're bringing. I just know if they're bringing things,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: so I get confused, and so it feels like, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I know I did a whole piece on this, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: actually more and more people are saying this. I feel like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's a fan fiction of a fan fiction
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm like, because the nineties things was a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: fan fiction, and now they're writing fan fiction about that,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Which is not to say it's worse at all, because
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I've read plenty of good fan fiction and fan fiction.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But it's just funny to me that I don't feel
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: like I'm actually in a I'm kind of curious as
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: someone who hasn't read that stuff is doing better than me,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Like maybe they aren't as confused because they don't know
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: all this other stuff. Maybe I'm just curious. I'm just curious,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and I think there was a lot of I've seen
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of people complain about head cannon and Fannin,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and so head cannon is just it's basically like what
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you are, like, this is what I'm going to decide
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: is canon and not. The key about it is you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: don't push it on anyone else. You don't get mad,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: or you can get mad, but keep it to yourself
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or your friends. Right, But you realize that, like, yes,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: there is such a bigger thing happening and you're not
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: You can't control it. But it does feel kind of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: galling when I'm like, but their canon doesn't even match,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So why can I not just back and shoes? And
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I recognize and you know, your head canon can change,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: your head canon can expand and change as things go on.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Fannin is like things fans believe to be true popularly
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: even though they've never been like explicitly said or true.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And so I feel like this is the problem I'm
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: running into because I have a very healthy, happy head canon.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I think I don't like you darting away to laugh
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: at me.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It's a nice place, but you know, the issue is
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: canon and impacts the fan creation of like fan fiction
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: or fan ar' and all that stuff. And so even
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: if I'm like, I don't want that, it is still
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: impacting what people write, what people create. And Fannin, on
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the other hand, impacts interpretation of media. So you've heard
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: me talk about this before. I get really frustrated. It's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: kind of the same story, but with like the Mandalorian,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Din and grogu are Joel and Ellie in the Last
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of Us, where everyone, as the audience is like, oh,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: we love them, right, but everyone else pretty much literally
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: everyone else in that cast of characters has no idea
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: who this like bounty hunter character is. So why are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: we expecting them to be like, oh cool, yeah, he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: his dad now Fannin, That's what Fannin does. These are
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: just some thoughts of mine. This I'm telling you, this
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: is me plowing it down because I arigually had a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: much more intense out.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Line kind of turning red in this conversation, like that's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the level of passion that's happening. That that's just like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I have nods for you, thank you for your nots.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I do wonder sometimes because I've one of the reasons.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, I really want this one to be
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a joyful one and not going to my issues about
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: like mandalorians or whatever. Is because I have been getting
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: drawn up in these things and I don't think there's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: anything necessarily wrong with that. But sometimes I'll read somebody's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: comments and I can tell and I do the same thing.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But it's like the cannon isn't consistent. So when you're
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: making that argument, you're ignoring this piece of the cannon.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: But I also ignore pieces of the cannon. But we
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: can't all we don't know all this stuff because it's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: way too much to know. But it means that it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: impacting me because you haven't read that thing, but it's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: also impacting you because I haven't done. And so I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: was also wondering if it's easier for people for people
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: who are like, oh, I only just like this, Like
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I only like this show, I do only like these movies.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I only like this, And it's not that they hate
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: other things, but they're like, I only like this, So
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't I don't know bother them. They're just like, okay, sure,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: or if it like I don't know, it gets easier
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: for some people to be like, oh, I'm really into
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: it now, and then later you're like okay, okay, okay,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: which I said before. I think, and I even read
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: an article that I was like, oh okay that the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: sequel trilogy is going to have a renaissance. I think
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it will, but right now still hurts. But that brings
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: me to my final point, which is all this whole
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: episode is kind of about. I also, and I know
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like it if you've listened to the show.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I do get embarrassed that I talk so much about
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: nerdy stuff. I do try to hold back. I think
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: this is for a couple of reasons, but one of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the big ones I think of is my brothers made
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: fun of me for liking Star Wars so much when
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I was young. I got teased for it at school.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was like bullying, but I definitely
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: got teased for it. And so I just sort of like, Okay,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't out loud, you shouldn't say the stuff that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: should be just a you thing. And I am passionate.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I am very very passionate, and I do love talking
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: about it. But because of this, because I get I
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: want people to love or at least like the things
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I like, and I worry that by talking about it
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: too much, I become annoying and they won't like it,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: like they'll associate it with like a I don't know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: then I'll deal with her. So I don't always invite
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: people to mi nerdy things that I do because I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: know that they are not into it, and it has
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: gotten me in trouble before because people are like, why
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: didn't you invite me? And I'm like, well, I don't
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: think you like it, like you could have invited me,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and I would still like to hang out with you,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and I think like I would still hold back. I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: would hold back because I'd be like, God, they really
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: don't care about this. And again that is on me,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that it's not on them, But I do worry about
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that sometimes because right now, like I Life Day, I'm
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: just like, hey, it's life Day. And I have like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: two people that are like, okay, hang out, which is great,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: which is fine, but it's just I have run into
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: trouble around this before. And life Day is such a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: niche thing, like it's so specific and you know, the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: holiday like Thanksgivings the next week, I'm really stressed. You're
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: really stressed because we're trying to get ahead enough to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: go take your vacation. So I just don't really invite
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: people to it. But then, ah, how many people want
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to hear me talk about strandcast. Who's to say like that?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: You answered yourself just clarification. I'm not one of those
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: who gets offended about not being invited it. Maybe you're
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: specifically talking about me, and I was like, no, no,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited that you are going to have the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: time of your life with that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, we yeah, we've had. We've done some Life Day stuff,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: plenty of Star Wars stuff, done a lot of those stuff. Now,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think Life Day has ever come up, but
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: some Star Wars stuff has come up before, like Star
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Wars Day and it's it's nothing, mate. I'm just.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Hashing it out on Yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the line between like should
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I just invite people even though I know they'll say no.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Should I invite them? And they'll say yes? But then
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'll be like I can't talk about this stupid thing.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I feel like the rule should be you
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: invite who you want as long as you're comfortable, Like
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: if you're going to enjoy that day with that person,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: then great. If not, then no, that's not on you.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I guess it feels kind of silly because it is
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: really silly. Life day is really really silly. But I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: do love it, uh, and I love that it's silly.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I kind of don't want to invite
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: people who it's just going to become a hang, right,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I want it to be like a life day. Hang,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: it's still a hang but it's a life day.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I Chandler's uh TV watching where he gets really upset
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: shows that's you and so you enjoy with people who
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: are like minded?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which we Yeah, we still we hang, we joke,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: we talk. I only say that because Chandler does not
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like any of that love.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I had one person who would not say, but like
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: every now and they do a passi aggressive. I mean,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: if I'd known you guys are just gonna talk about this,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I would have watched this by myself repeatedly and twenty
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and we were all like, bro, you're at the wrong house.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You should have known better.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the thing.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And I thought that he was ever invited back, although
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: they cared to be right.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he might have been like nothing, yeah, coming Well,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: these are just so of my thoughts. I'm sure I'll
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: return because I also had my other Luke Skywalker outline
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I never did for my birthday. I can't remember why
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I did something else. But there's more to have to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: talk about.
