  Star Wars. What could be better than that,
• 1:44
  right? That's essentially what we do
• 1:46
  here on this podcast. All right.
• 1:50
  Are you ready? Leah and shall we dive in?
• 1:53
  As ready as ever? Let's go.
• 1:56
  Okay. Question number one.
• 2:01
  Can you please explain your obsession with Yacht Rock?
• 2:05
  Yes, with great pleasure. This is question 1.
• 2:14
  Okay? As I've always said, Yacht, Rock
• 2:18
  is a lifestyle not a music genre.
• 2:22
  Okay, you live Yacht Rock, you embody, Yacht Rock.
• 2:29
  It's smooth sailing every day with Yacht Rock.
• 2:36
  This is not an ad. This is literally what I believe
• 2:39
  and the songs are so goddamn ridiculous that it's like,
• 2:46
  You're kind of just buying into the ridiculous and then all of a
• 2:50
  sudden, you like it, you catch yourself singing along yes, to
• 2:56
  every single song and it is smooth and it makes me happy and
• 3:01
  it's ridiculous. And yes, that's why I love Yacht
• 3:06
  Rock. I want to know why you don't.
• 3:13
  Just kidding. You don't have to expand it out.
• 3:15
  I'll listen to it but it's not my go-to.
• 3:18
  I'll just oh man, I just I love it.
• 3:22
  I just I love it. What is better than Michael
• 3:26
  McDonald? Christopher Cross Hall & Oates.
• 3:30
  Kenny Loggins all on the same like Channel playlist.
• 3:36
  Yeah, I don't know who half those people are.
• 3:39
  Oh, they're all they have Well, quaffed hair and wide like 70s
• 3:44
  quaffed hair. They really honestly can't hold
• 3:48
  the note to save their lives, but it's, that's why you like
• 3:51
  it. I mean, it's the ridiculous
• 3:56
  factor that gets you to Yacht Rock and then all of a sudden
• 4:00
  you're singing along to Brandi and you know, she's a fine girl.
• 4:05
  Well good, why she would be such a It's the ridiculous factor for
• 4:13
  me, honestly. Yes.
• 4:14
  Okay. Very nice.
• 4:16
  Do you have a favorite brandy, or the Doobie Brothers, What a
• 4:23
  Fool Believes? Because that's absolutely
• 4:25
  classic or Sailing by Christopher Cross because
• 4:29
  classic and I Can't Go For That. No, whoa, no can do.
• 4:37
  Hello. I also Thunder Island here on
• 4:43
  Thunder doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
• 4:48
  doo-doo-doo-doo, goodbye Thunder Island.
• 4:52
  This is amazing. I swear to God I'm gonna stop.
• 4:55
  This was a hell of a first question.
• 5:02
  Okay, I'm gonna anything else to say on that?
• 5:06
  No, I'm good. I'm I'm done.
• 5:07
  I could I could keep going but we're good.
• 5:09
  We only got so much time. Okay, now that we've got that
• 5:16
  out of the way. All right.
• 5:20
  Kind of a more serious question. When did you realize you had a
• 5:23
  gift for the sciences? And when did you make the
• 5:26
  commitment to pursue it as a career?
• 5:30
  I remember when I was very young, I was interested in
• 5:36
  electricity, and I remember my mom taking me to the library,
• 5:43
  and I would there was a series of books that talked about
• 5:47
  prominent scientific figures, but they were like four kids and
• 5:51
  young readers and I remember who's the woman that discovered
• 5:56
  radiation Marie Curie. Yeah.
• 5:59
  Yes, thank you. Is that her name?
• 6:01
  Marie Curie Yuri. Yes, that's her Madame Curie.
• 6:05
  I remember but Madame Mari Madame, Madame Mari, whatever
• 6:10
  bad madame Marie. If if I remember if I remember
• 6:16
  correctly I was so blown away by that a woman could be in science
• 6:20
  and it like had a book written after her as a I'm talking.
• 6:23
  Like I was in like second or third grade.
• 6:25
  Mmm. And I was like God that is so
• 6:28
  cool. I want to learn how Things work,
• 6:30
  you know, and I really had a thing about electricity.
• 6:33
  I remember reading what I believe to be a very difficult
• 6:37
  book at the time about electrons and how they interact, and,
• 6:43
  like, how lightning forms mmm-hmm, and it just kind of
• 6:47
  went from there. So, very young, that's kind of
• 6:50
  amazing. I read a lot of science books.
• 6:54
  I also had my parents would get me these workbooks that were,
• 6:57
  like math and science. Looks like busy.
• 7:00
  Keep busy books. Yeah.
• 7:02
  But like instead of like where's Waldo?
• 7:06
  They were giving you Math and Science.
• 7:07
  Yeah. Like rude.
• 7:09
  Oh my God. I remember there's a thin but I
• 7:12
  always loved doing them. Hmm, I was a such a nerd but
• 7:18
  funnily enough, my I excelled in school in literature and writing
• 7:24
  and my math and science will science was okay but math
• 7:28
  calculus advanced Calculus Advanced anything that I ended
• 7:31
  up having to take in college? I didn't do so well.
• 7:34
  I was averaged slightly above average, which didn't cut it.
• 7:38
  Mmm, unless you had a bell curve in college, which we did, and I
• 7:42
  got really discouraged for a long time that I wasn't going to
• 7:44
  be able to do what I wanted to do with science, you know, in my
• 7:48
  field which is meteorology. So operational meteorology, I
• 7:52
  should say, I'm not on TV, don't go looking for me.
• 7:58
  But I think that's where it all started, just reading and I
• 8:02
  attribute it to my parents. Then they'd never discouraged.
• 8:06
  You they, you know, there was no like, oh, girls shouldn't do.
• 8:10
  Oh, hell no? Yeah, that's amazing.
• 8:12
  They set me free in the library and what I ended up gravitating
• 8:15
  towards was scientific figures and scientific books.
• 8:18
  I think just because I had a general curiosity as to why
• 8:21
  things work the way they do, and I still do so.
• 8:26
  Yeah, then they're interesting. So like what was it?
• 8:29
  That finally lit a fire and you'd be like, I'm gonna
• 8:33
  actually do this as a job. Snowstorms, I was so weird.
• 8:42
  I would go out and lit when we had a big snowstorm, I would go
• 8:46
  out and lay on my back with a pair of ski goggles.
• 8:49
  I'm talking like Middle School. I would lay out and just let it
• 8:54
  fall on me. And my mom would come out and be
• 8:57
  like, okay, that's enough, you gotta come in, you know.
• 9:05
  I really liked electricity. I really liked snow.
• 9:09
  It seemed pretty obvious. What those two things ended up.
• 9:13
  Yeah. But that lighted, perfect
• 9:15
  combination, for me to write Chi.
• 9:18
  Yeah. So yeah, it was, it was just, I
• 9:22
  was fascinated by the power of an ice storm and a snowstorm,
• 9:26
  and I wanted more and I just didn't know how it, how any of
• 9:32
  it worked. So I just read and read and read
• 9:35
  and read. And red and I'm still reading.
• 9:37
  So it's amazing. That it's pretty awesome.
• 9:40
  Very inspiring, honestly. All.
• 9:43
  Thank you. I don't know that I've ever
• 9:45
  admitted yet on. Are that I do meteorology.
• 9:48
  So, you haven't. So if you want to cut it out,
• 9:50
  feel free, but Elena. I'll leave that to you.
• 9:53
  Yeah, I think I'll leave it in. It's important.
• 9:55
  It's part of me. So, okay, so kind of with that.
• 9:59
  You're also Super Creative. You and I are very left brain,
• 10:02
  right? Brain.
• 10:03
  If that's even a thing anymore, but So when did you first start
• 10:07
  writing stories because you're a writer also have a creative
• 10:10
  side. Also when you answered last week
• 10:15
  about when you were very young, you entered a writing contest.
• 10:18
  I think you said yeah, I was forced to I chose to it was a
• 10:24
  poetry contest? Oh my God.
• 10:27
  That's so cute. It was like in second grade and
• 10:30
  I got up on stage and read it and my mom kept the poem.
• 10:34
  Oh, that's So cute. So at the same time that I'm
• 10:38
  like deciding I like science. I'm also out letting all of the
• 10:41
  creative crap that was also bubbling inside me.
• 10:46
  But I think in Earnest I started It was really, when I first
• 10:52
  read, Lord of the Rings, the trilogy went, which I read when
• 10:55
  I was a junior in high school and it changed my life forever.
• 11:00
  As many people know, and I started writing because I was
• 11:03
  inspired to write because the World building in the characters
• 11:06
  in The Lord of the Rings trilogy was so magnificent that I wanted
• 11:09
  to like immerse myself in it more.
• 11:11
  So I started creatively writing Fix that had to do with it or
• 11:15
  involved in and they have never seen the light of day.
• 11:19
  Nor will they? There was going to see when you
• 11:21
  first started where you like writing yourself into stories.
• 11:24
  You already knew or were you coming up with stuff from
• 11:27
  scratch? Like what were you afraid from
• 11:29
  scratch? I created a sister to Aragorn
• 11:32
  which some may find Blasphemous. But I wove over into the story
• 11:36
  and I just wanted to, I did the exact same stuff.
• 11:39
  If I had a story I'd like, I would invent a character to go
• 11:42
  into a story that Existed already and like, yeah, play
• 11:46
  around with the university. Yes.
• 11:47
  Yeah. That's all I want to do is play
• 11:49
  around with it because I was so into it that I was like, I want
• 11:52
  more, how can I do this? And so I wrote another character
• 11:55
  and like wove. This person's story in with the
• 11:58
  others, which, you know, I'm not j.r.r.
• 12:01
  Tolkien nor am I trying to be, but it was fun and it passed the
• 12:04
  time. That's awesome.
• 12:06
  It's amazing. So, do you remember the first
• 12:08
  story you ever wrote? No, I I don't I think it was, I
• 12:15
  know it was in grade school. It might have also been part of
• 12:18
  a contest, but I don't remember it.
• 12:20
  My mom might. Yeah, I don't even remember what
• 12:23
  the poem was. That's it is that you don't
• 12:26
  remember what it was about or anything?
• 12:28
  No, but I do know that when I won the science fair and I went
• 12:32
  to the state competition, I know what that was and that was on
• 12:34
  cryogenic. That was done cryogenics, like,
• 12:37
  liquid, oxygen liquid. Nitrogen, how old for you?
• 12:40
  I was, I was in high school. I don't know what age, but I was
• 12:44
  in high school is, I didn't know that you were in a size.
• 12:49
  It's a very much less like won the science fair.
• 12:51
  Oh yeah, totally went to states with it, but I didn't place and
• 12:54
  States because I accidentally said inches, instead of CM out
• 12:57
  of habit. No bullshit.
• 13:00
  Yep, I said they were robbed. I was, I was, it's all right.
• 13:08
  It was fun, taking bananas and freezing them in liquid.
• 13:11
  Nitrogen is smashing them to brittle pieces against my wall.
• 13:14
  That would be fun, that was my experiment.
• 13:18
  How can extreme temperatures affect solid objects?
• 13:22
  I that makes a lot of sense that you would do.
• 13:26
  I mean why not? Oh my goodness.
• 13:32
  Um okay. I have a funny question for you.
• 13:37
  Okay. Do you remember what you
• 13:39
  thought? I looked like before we saw each
• 13:41
  other. Oh my god.
• 13:43
  Oh yes. I remember that clearer than the
• 13:45
  poem that I won. The stupid competition.
• 13:48
  This is so funny. This is such a funny question.
• 13:51
  I was like, it's stuck with me ever since you said it.
• 13:54
  I don't know why, but it has. So you remember what I said?
• 13:58
  Yeah, I do. I was just wondering if you
• 14:00
  remember, I do I pictured you. Oh good.
• 14:05
  So wrong to it. So, like not what you are.
• 14:10
  I pictured, a demure, dark-haired long curly hair, and
• 14:19
  rather Just, I pictured like a prim and proper because you
• 14:25
  write so well, that for some reason, that equated like, oh,
• 14:30
  she's this girl at these long. Flowing curls and like this cute
• 14:34
  button nose and she's very proper.
• 14:35
  And then like I saw your personal Instagram, when we
• 14:38
  became friends, you had like this fucking amazing like
• 14:42
  side-swept short pixie cut and you're all badass and works like
• 14:46
  this lightning jewelry and had runes all over shit and I was
• 14:52
  like but I was way off. I have like white hair at the
• 14:58
  time to use. It indoors wife are you had very
• 15:02
  severe looking pictures like severely like this woman is and
• 15:06
  you inspired me to get a pixie cut because you're so fucking
• 15:10
  good in it and I was like if she can do it I can do it.
• 15:14
  You looked at me? I remember when you first got it
• 15:16
  to you. Got it in Florida?
• 15:18
  Yes, I did. Yeah, it was and it was fucking
• 15:20
  amazing. So good.
• 15:23
  I needed my gay best friend to be with me for that.
• 15:26
  He was my rock. It's intimidating.
• 15:29
  When you have a pixie, you can't hide behind anything.
• 15:32
  Your face is just on display honest to God.
• 15:35
  It was the greatest decision of my life to chop my hair off.
• 15:37
  It was great. Yeah, I never regretted it when
• 15:40
  I did it, I regret it now because I can't find a good
• 15:43
  stylist. So every time, every time I get
• 15:46
  the a pixie cut, it's just not, it's not right.
• 15:49
  So I just grew my hair out which is also weird but but whatever.
• 15:52
  Well you definitely don't have long tumbling Brown curls.
• 15:55
  Like I don't, I don't know what the hell.
• 15:59
  I was picturing it was way off. I just love it though because
• 16:03
  it's it was such a, it's true because like when you are only
• 16:08
  communicating with somebody online, you develop an idea in
• 16:12
  your mind and what they are and then when you see them in person
• 16:15
  or like with covid, you know how people start taking their masks
• 16:17
  off and you're like oh that's what you look like.
• 16:20
  Yes yeah. Well, don't worry.
• 16:22
  I wasn't disappointed when I saw you.
• 16:24
  I thought you were fucking bad ass and you still are to this
• 16:27
  day. So that's sweet.
• 16:31
  Okay. Who is like describe your ideal
• 16:35
  hero? It could be an actual character
• 16:37
  or just like traits that you look for in a hero.
• 16:42
  Oh no, how do I answer this? Okay, well the formula is pretty
• 16:51
  obvious. Good guy, turns bad guy turns
• 16:56
  back to good guy. Right.
• 16:57
  There's some fucking drama in there.
• 16:59
  I don't know why that is. But I find it psychologically
• 17:04
  more interesting as opposed to like the hero's journey.
• 17:07
  I, I guess nothing wrong with it.
• 17:11
  I really want them to fall to Darkness at some point, and I'm
• 17:14
  not just talking like anak and I'm talking, like, Bucky Barnes,
• 17:17
  for instance, when he, what he goes through or any kind of
• 17:21
  like, shit, any character that struggles I guess.
• 17:28
  I believe it more when they become a hero because they went
• 17:31
  through something, right? Hmm.
• 17:34
  Alright, so another question for you that you actually asked me
• 17:37
  which I think is so funny that we have multiples of the same.
• 17:42
  So what's a guilty pleasure for you TV show movie comfort
• 17:46
  characters. Something you're like
• 17:47
  embarrassed about but totally love with your whole heart.
• 17:52
  Okay. I'm totally embarrassed by this
• 17:53
  but I've come to terms with it. My guilty.
• 17:57
  Pleasure is listening to One Direction.
• 18:01
  That's it, that's it. Herbal, is it?
• 18:04
  How did you how they came out with this song?
• 18:12
  Nobody can drag me down and it was so goddamn catchy that I
• 18:18
  like, I was like, you know what, let's explore this CD.
• 18:22
  Help them. See what there is.
• 18:23
  I loved like half the songs and then I went back in time and I
• 18:26
  was like, let's re-listen to these ones that I thought were
• 18:28
  annoying and they're actually pretty good and now I bopped to
• 18:31
  him all the time but they they make you feel good, right?
• 18:35
  Like they bring your mother down.
• 18:36
  It's it's just poppy happy you know like feel Good music, you
• 18:42
  sing in the car on a road trip. Yeah, you know it's terrible and
• 18:49
  I don't care, it's just like you're wrong, that's not a
• 18:54
  guilty. Pleasure that is an
• 18:55
  out-and-proud pleasure but guilty pleasures is One
• 18:59
  Direction. Alright?
• 19:01
  Lee Anne. I know you're gonna like this
• 19:03
  question. What is your ideal aesthetic?
• 19:07
  You know, this one, right? I think I know this one.
• 19:11
  Neon 80s ski aesthetic. That was there are two.
• 19:17
  I was, I wasn't sure which one but that's, oh, no.
• 19:21
  Give me all the ugly. Oddly colored sweaters.
• 19:25
  All of the sneaky onesies I ski in a onesie.
• 19:28
  It's neon. It's awesome.
• 19:30
  You look amazing and you're watching.
• 19:33
  I live the life of an 80s aesthetic.
• 19:37
  Ski bum. I want old A sweaters.
• 19:41
  Some could be purple, some could be lime green.
• 19:44
  Some could be the button down in the front like the dude, you
• 19:46
  know, like, you know, you and I yes, the dude always and
• 19:50
  forever. I mean, I wear like 80 Shades
• 19:54
  and neon hats in the summer. So I carry it through the gear,
• 19:57
  but I'm a huge skier. So my aesthetic is 80, ski bum.
• 20:02
  I guess I love that like the big black colors because I
• 20:06
  definitely have those jackets in it.
• 20:08
  The early 90s late 80s, My God, if I could wear one and stay
• 20:13
  warm like actually stay warm. I would wear one on the mountain
• 20:16
  with like a pair of cool shades from like think like 1981 Miami,
• 20:21
  like, oh my God in that but it's just not functional for where I
• 20:26
  live and the type of terrain ice cream.
• 20:28
  So yeah, winter where has come a long way.
• 20:33
  Although, although now that I learned about Normcore and that
• 20:37
  George Lucas is the The running epitome figure of Normcore, I
• 20:45
  would say when I'm not a tease ski bum, I'm Normcore less
• 20:53
  embarrassing than George Lucas though, because I don't have
• 20:56
  George Lucas's money. So my super Norm Corner, that
• 20:59
  rich, you can do whatever you want.
• 21:03
  Yeah, we're all the ugly sneakers.
• 21:05
  You got in that closet, George have the same haircut for 50
• 21:10
  years. Ears.
• 21:11
  Well, what is he here? Yeah, he doesn't, it doesn't
• 21:14
  matter. He invented Luke Skywalker, he
• 21:17
  can do whatever you want. So speaking of George, Lucas
• 21:23
  then, what's something you're super passionate about?
• 21:25
  That is not Star Wars and is not your job.
• 21:28
  Oh, super passionate about diversity and inclusion.
• 21:34
  Honestly, I'm a member of a national, I'll say Regional
• 21:39
  Diversity and inclusion team and it's really important to me to
• 21:45
  kind of work for this is very serious compared to my other
• 21:48
  answers but it's something I'm really like I feel very strongly
• 21:53
  about and I work towards it all the time at least in my field to
• 21:59
  kind of not represent but give a voice or a space to have like
• 22:04
  under-represented groups, have a voice.
• 22:07
  Hmm. So I'm lucky enough to be a part
• 22:11
  of like a regional team that does huge projects within my
• 22:14
  organization. So I wish I could do more with
• 22:17
  it like for women's rights and LGBT qia + rights and just
• 22:25
  anyone who doesn't have Like a platform basic human, right?
• 22:30
  Yeah, that's amazing. I love that.
• 22:34
  You, that. That's such a passion for you.
• 22:35
  That's why I wanted to ask you this because like we are joking
• 22:38
  around and stuff but you and I both have things that were super
• 22:41
  passionate about that. Have nothing to do with fandom
• 22:44
  and we talk about it sometimes. I even remember, like, the first
• 22:47
  time we went on a trip together, talking about climate change
• 22:50
  together and like being like, can I talk about this with you?
• 22:54
  Like? Yeah.
• 22:55
  Well, you know these you got to like feel it.
• 22:57
  First right? You know, when I was this goes
• 23:02
  back to another thing, when I was younger in high school, I
• 23:05
  tried to get my County to recycle more and I push to get a
• 23:10
  brochure. So, I created a brochure that,
• 23:13
  you know, back when brochures were thing and had it widely
• 23:16
  distributed to, like, get recycling, like an everyday
• 23:20
  thing back in the day and because it wasn't people were
• 23:24
  ignoring it. I thought it was important.
• 23:25
  And, you know, so, Always kind of been, like, we need to push
• 23:30
  for things and get things, you know, because I care about the
• 23:32
  planet, I care about the future of people in humans, like
• 23:37
  animals, humans, all living things.
• 23:39
  Like there's just I feel like there's not a lot that I can do
• 23:43
  but I do as much as I possibly can.
• 23:45
  Yeah. Same with what I have.
• 23:48
  All right, well it was that. Lighten it up again.
• 23:51
  Yeah. Who was your first crush?
• 23:57
  Love the face you just made that was adorable.
• 24:01
  Okay technically it was Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
• 24:05
  Oh my God, that's so cute. Everyone was in love with him
• 24:09
  right. But at the same time I also had
• 24:13
  a crush on Joel Fleischman from Northern Exposure and I still do
• 24:17
  to this day. Yeah Rob Morrow.
• 24:21
  Greatest teeth in the business greatest hair in the business.
• 24:24
  He was everything on Northern Exposure.
• 24:29
  Hey, love it, isn't it. Funny how like the first people
• 24:32
  you have crushes on you kind of still do and you're an adult?
• 24:36
  Well Jonathan Taylor Thomas. No no but yeah but he was
• 24:40
  technically the first oh actually I also like to MacGyver
• 24:46
  you told me this once I forgot about like that's way back.
• 24:52
  Yeah so MacGyver was probably first followed by Jonathan
• 24:56
  Taylor Thomas, followed by Rob, Morrow as Joel Fleischmann the
• 25:01
  end. I'm so embarrassed to say all of
• 25:05
  that I like all three of them had mullets soda.
• 25:12
  So V1, so it's fine. It's like doing good.
• 25:14
  Have a type, you have a mullet type but it was acceptable back
• 25:21
  in the 80s when I was a child. Okay.
• 25:23
  It's unacceptable now. It was everywhere and it's it's
• 25:26
  unacceptable in the prequels. Sorry journey is also out there
• 25:34
  chikhalia is agreeing with me about Joel, fleshman, chikhalia,
• 25:38
  I know you're out there. Yes, I know you're listening
• 25:40
  Girls. We Got Each.
• 25:41
  Other knows what's up. She does.
• 25:46
  Okay. This is probably going to be our
• 25:47
  last question, since we're at the 30-minute Mark.
• 25:50
  Okay? It is one that you asked me.
• 25:52
  If you could visit any historic time period, what would it be
• 25:56
  also? Would you participate or just
• 25:58
  observe and would you stay? Or would you just want to like
• 26:03
  pop in visit and get the hell out?
• 26:05
  You know what, you phrase that so much better than I did last
• 26:08
  week when I asked you but you had time.
• 26:12
  I was like, what time period. Would you live in none?
• 26:15
  Because I like running water. It was the greatest dancer ever.
• 26:19
  I like that. Like, plumbing and electricity
• 26:22
  as do I, but if I were to go back, mine's pretty simple
• 26:28
  1940s. I would have like a boyfriend
• 26:32
  that gets whisked off to the why I'm totally romanticizing.
• 26:35
  It romanticizing, a terrible period in history, but I want to
• 26:39
  go dancing and have like a big band.
• 26:42
  Play and I love that band music. I do, too.
• 26:45
  I love it. I love swing dancing and
• 26:48
  everything. It's me.
• 26:49
  Yes. And just like I would totally
• 26:53
  dip in and dip out. I just want to dance the night
• 26:55
  away with some well-dressed military.
• 26:58
  You know, he's leaving for Europe, the next morning and we
• 27:01
  only have her handsome. Yes.
• 27:04
  And I want to eat and have the the hair and do the clothes, and
• 27:08
  the dance, and the shoes, and the bright red lipstick.
• 27:13
  I love that. That's but only one day in and
• 27:17
  out. Yeah.
• 27:18
  Because the reality is, I don't think the reality of all history
• 27:22
  periods of kind of sucks. It's terrible.
• 27:24
  Yeah, yeah. It's really, it's like if I were
• 27:27
  to go way, way way back, I would go to like French Polynesia when
• 27:31
  the islands were discovered. I would be a Polynesian in a
• 27:34
  boat and like, live Island life. And that would be really cool.
• 27:38
  That's suck, too. Yeah, because like some people
• 27:41
  came and like massacred them. So, It's yes, honestly.
• 27:44
  And unlike Now sucks also. So, so, I mean I might as well
• 27:49
  have one night with. Like, I don't know an army boy
• 27:55
  in a, in a nice suit and me and a nice dress, with a nice pair
• 27:59
  of heels, and some red lipstick dance.
• 28:00
  The night away to big band, music and cut out.
• 28:03
  Sounds like the perfect night. Honestly, I love it right.
• 28:06
  Yeah. None of the realities.
• 28:08
  Yeah. Right there it.
• 28:09
  I don't want to know the reality.
• 28:10
  I don't want to think about that.
• 28:11
  I just want to dance with a Awesome.
• 28:13
  Man in a uniform. That's it.
• 28:15
  You got it. You got it.
• 28:19
  All right, we're at 33. So should we move on rapid fire?
• 28:23
  Yes, we're all my God. I'm so excited for this because
• 28:26
  I've always wanted to do something like this and I don't
• 28:28
  know the answers even though I just asked them to you last
• 28:30
  week. So, all right, well, I'm gonna
• 28:33
  okay, you ready? I'm ready.
• 28:35
  Let's go, let's do it. These are our rapid fire
• 28:38
  questions. In case people aren't familiar.
• 28:40
  That we asked other guests who come on the show.
• 28:43
  So we're gonna have a chance to answer now.
• 28:45
  So Leanne is going to answer our Star Wars rapid fire.
• 28:49
  Questions questions ever would Leon.
• 28:51
  What character would you marry? And again, would you really?
• 28:58
  Yes, the sex would be hot as hell.
• 29:02
  I love you so much hands down. I know there's a lot there to
• 29:08
  handle, but I want that arm. That's it was number two.
• 29:17
  Are you a Jedi or has it? Oh, I'm a Jedi.
• 29:22
  I'm a gray. Jedi.
• 29:24
  Yeah, I should Have said that, that's what I am.
• 29:27
  Well, we know what you are, we don't agree.
• 29:29
  I'm a Jedi but I like, I hate rules.
• 29:31
  So exactly okay. Number three, which version of
• 29:36
  Obi-Wan do you like best? Prequels Clone Wars, original
• 29:39
  trilogy or Kenobi series. Oh, definitely Clone Wars.
• 29:47
  Definitely Clone Wars, okay? Same yeah, that's pretty easy.
• 29:53
  What's your favorite ob1 hair? Padawan BG mullet or Clone Wars.
• 30:00
  I mean, shit Clone Wars, but I didn't mind the Obi-Wan Kenobi
• 30:07
  show hair. It was kind of long and messy
• 30:11
  and it had the little tendril over his forehead.
• 30:14
  Yes, it was not a mullet. It was just longer hair, wasn't?
• 30:17
  It was just longer than, like, Revenge of the Sith, which I
• 30:21
  was, it was a little bit gray. Mmm, so if I had to pick a
• 30:25
  live-action, I would go with Kenobi series but overall clone
• 30:30
  Wars. Yeah.
• 30:31
  Hey, creep. The the show was good.
• 30:33
  I mean, you wouldn't be said that look very nice.
• 30:36
  He always will. Mmm.
• 30:38
  I like the gray and I'm proud, you know?
• 30:41
  Yeah, it's probably, cuz I'm old.
• 30:50
  I'm getting older. Okay, let's see.
• 30:54
  Number five, if you could wear one costume from all of Star
• 30:57
  Wars, which would it be Okay, well, we already assumed Hoth
• 31:02
  Leia, as being like the standard, right?
• 31:06
  I would Lo Que. This is going to sound insane.
• 31:12
  I mean, maybe, I don't know. No, but I really, really, really
• 31:17
  like raised white outfit in the rise of Skywalker.
• 31:23
  Yeah. And I like, never talked about
• 31:25
  it, but I would fucking love to wear that.
• 31:27
  I went to, I love that costume. That's Jenny's favorite costume
• 31:32
  also. Oh, is it, did she dresses that
• 31:35
  she has a? Yeah.
• 31:36
  She has a cosplay of a, maybe it's that one.
• 31:38
  I can't remember. Everybody can I borrow it?
• 31:43
  Yeah, I like Tres costumes. I thought they were cool.
• 31:47
  I also forgot about mon mothma like I would die to wear her.
• 31:51
  Well, I mean yeah but I would totally wear ahsoka's like
• 31:56
  maroon dress with the keyhole. Oh yeah.
• 32:00
  I think that would be cool and comfortable because it's kind of
• 32:03
  like leggings and something that seems practical and the cool
• 32:05
  like bands around the arm. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:08
  Yeah. I love the yeah.
• 32:09
  So those would be my two choices.
• 32:11
  I like it if we're not assuming Hoth layup because that is the
• 32:14
  be-all end-all of in right now. For just Around in that outfit
• 32:18
  all day long every day, right. Totally.
• 32:21
  Okay. Number Six, Original Trilogy,
• 32:24
  prequel trilogy, sequel. Trilogy, or animated shows.
• 32:29
  Original Trilogy all the way every day.
• 32:32
  No, hesitation nice. I love Clone Wars but there
• 32:38
  would be no Clone Wars without my original trilogy.
• 32:41
  That is very true. So, okay, number seven, if you
• 32:45
  could be any character and all of Star Wars, who would you want
• 32:48
  to be? This is kind of tough, right?
• 32:52
  I had trouble with this one. Oh my God.
• 32:59
  It's a toss-up. How do you?
• 33:03
  How do I answer this? It would be a toss-up between.
• 33:09
  Hera syndulla. Yes.
• 33:14
  Or Ahsoka, and here's why I love Leia.
• 33:19
  I love layout but I can't do the politics, right.
• 33:24
  Hmm. Ahsoka is the kind of Jedi That
• 33:28
  I would want to be with her flips in her acrobatics and her
• 33:31
  sense of realism and she wasn't blindsided by the Jedi Order and
• 33:37
  she was kind of Reckless and had a bit of Anakin in her you know.
• 33:41
  But at the same time Hera was also that been in Pilot form,
• 33:44
  right? Which I would totally love.
• 33:45
  So I would I mean I love what Harris stood for.
• 33:48
  I loved how she had her little makeshift family, you know and
• 33:53
  she really stood for something and she was there to the very
• 33:55
  end both of those characters, make it all the way to the very
• 33:58
  end. So I would be another one of
• 33:59
  them, but I think Harold would be my first choice.
• 34:01
  I, those are great choices. I don't know why harridan come
• 34:05
  to me either. Why hair didn't come to me
• 34:08
  because that's a really, she's an amazing character.
• 34:11
  What I'm also afraid to fly. I fly all the time I'm afraid to
• 34:15
  fly, but if I was her, I wouldn't be.
• 34:17
  No, you'd be the one fly at us? Yeah.
• 34:22
  That's great. Okay, well last question.
• 34:25
  What special powers would you want to have Force choking?
• 34:31
  Doesn't skip them beat. Knows it right away.
• 34:34
  Nope, nope, forced. Okay.
• 34:38
  I just want to try it once on something.
• 34:40
  I don't think they would be justified in having it done.
• 34:45
  I wouldn't do it. Recklessly not just at the
• 34:48
  conference table like Vader? Yeah, no, no.
• 34:52
  I Choose the person wisely and they would, you know like
• 34:55
  Tarkin. Okay, nobody likes fucking
• 34:57
  Tarkin or pong Krell. Fuck pong Krell.
• 35:00
  I would totally Force choke that bitch.
• 35:05
  Oh my God, I love it that we can't get better than that,
• 35:09
  folks. Guess not.
• 35:13
  True and honest. Right here, answer all the way.
• 35:22
  All right, so for this week's question, just send us a
• 35:27
  question. What would you like to know
• 35:29
