  Speaker 1: so responsibly. Samantha, are you sipping on anything? I am.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sipping on my bubbly water. But I've gotten now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I've added the little like nutrients stuff supposedly that helps
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you hydrate faster, quote unquote, And I know any as
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: much as you hate it, it can be effective. Bradley's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not acting.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Always hate it. There's just certain circumstances that I have.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, I agree with you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I think we need to be a cynic in all things.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But also if the size says yes, I believe that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: do But like all that to say is I've added
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: because I feel like I've been extra dehydrated. Maybe it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the pollen. Maybe is the extra dog here that Peaches
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: has been giving me has a nice gift. I don't know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I'm extra hydrated today.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And he's what I'm saying. That's nice. What about you? Well,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I have my red wine. I didn't want to make
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a special drink but today's been kind of a hectic
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: day because it is May, which has been claimed as
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Star Wars month for us.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Nerves and my game that I have like said, I'm
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: not gonna name has made it a whole thing. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: was like, what, what's happening? Gave me a whole battle.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the May is the new thing. If
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you don't know where that's from, that's from the Mandalorian
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: where his catchphrase his really, he'd be so furious if
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I called it that. His saying is this is the way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But a lot of Star Wars holidays and anniversaries happened
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in May, so i'ma be excited. Because we are already
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of nerd content. We might not do
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as much Star Wars content as we normally do, which
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is fine, which is fine, and actually is something I've
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: been struggling with I feel right now. Okay, well, first
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: let me start with saying this by other nerd content,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Last of Us because we have
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: our Last of Us episodes and they are happening throughout
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the remainder of May. We also have AAPI months and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stuffer on that. I can talk about Star Wars anytime
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's fine, but I do have a lot of people
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: who know May the Fourth slash Star Wars Day. They're like,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? Which I'm
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: going to a Star Wars theme drag show, which could
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be hit or miss. I have no idea. I had
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a great time at the last one, but I can
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: see it going very badly, so May the Forest be
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: with me. But it is on a Sunday this year,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and that's when the Last of Us comes out and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we do our wonderful watch parties Samantha and my little
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: nerd heart. I feel like the Grinch, like I feel
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like I could explode. I'm so excited, but I've had
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to tell people like I can't after this certain hour
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Star Wars ends and the Last of Us begins,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and they act like I'm betraying Star Wars.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't invite you and say you could come
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: over early and we could at least do the reminiscence
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of when we used to do Sunday Sunday Sunday because
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we haven't done that in a very long time, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we can make all of the cocktails in pre celebration
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to the Last of Us viewing as well as the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: fact you wanted to combine that with Cinco de Mayo,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: which is only a US thing. We're gonna do it
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: because it makes it easy, and I love some Mexican food.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: We love that around it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It is the last of US food.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Didn't read okay lessons, but all of those things are
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: combining on one day, so we could do it. I'm down.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I do want to do Sunday Sunday Sunday again soon, which,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if you don't know, was basically a pandemic habit I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: got in where I just watched the original trilogy every Sunday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It used to be something completely different, but during the pandemic,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that's what it became. And I still do it, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's usually like I'm doing something else and it's in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the background. That's what it was for a lot bit.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But Samantha and I would hang out. We would make
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: these drinks and it was very lovely. We had theme drinks, drinks.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The first time I've ever seen it, and now I've
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: seen it about fifty times a piece who news.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to calculate how many times I've
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: seen it. I've thought about it because I think I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: could get a pretty good ballpark.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, multiply it. Although there were days that you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: had double viewings.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: That's true, but I could get a good ballpark. But
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the thing is, and I know I've talked about this
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: before and it sounds like such a it's a lovely
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: problem to have, but because I have so many, there's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: just a lot of moving pieces that I don't know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We can't have like a huge Sunday Sunday Sunday, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it could build into that if I'm not careful, which
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is lovely love. I love that people enjoy the things
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that I like, even if it's mostly because I like them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But that being said, I do get in my head
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about that. I worry if I'm too forward with the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: things I love, then it'll annoy you and you won't
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like it, and that will hurt my feelings. And so
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it's actually a real show of Trustmantha, that I'm like,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: can we please do this? I really want to do it,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because I try to. I know it doesn't seem like it,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but I try to hold back, and I try that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hold back.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: No, I know it seems. I know what it is
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: because when we have a very adulted beverage to Annie, Yes,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the filter comes off, and there becomes an argument in
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: which it's not really an argument, but you're arguing with
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: yourself and the things that you've already prepared in your
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: head against other people who may have said things previously,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: or things that you are thinking that someone may say
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in defensive And again it's one of those things like
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we have not mentioned it. We're probably encouraging you, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you go on letting us know why they are wrong. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and it is very impassioned.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it is very uh.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No, No, it's not defensive. You get very like the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: noises because you remember something else, as if we are
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: saying something to you and you we have interrupted the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: thought process with this other question in which you are
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: answering that, but we haven't said anything to you. It
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: is something that you have thought of that could interrupt
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: this process, and you are so shocked by it that
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you do the but.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly like this.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I've got the annie and pressions
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: down for that one. That's when I know, Yeah, she's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: definitely held back a lot.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, That's why I write the essays that I talk about,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, I gotta get this out.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You rehearse those essays on us. When you do get
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Point, sometimes think pieces of them come out. They are
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: quite long, but we have done several Sunday Sunday Sundays,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: so yes, it's it's.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Quite funny because also my partner is very chatty, very chatty,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: so like when he also gets adult beveraged and the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: two of them, it's almost like they're having two different conversations.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still succinct.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, who, good job, because if I'm alert
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: in a way, that means i haven't partaken, because if
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I have partaken, I'm asleep.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Right Just that's my play.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But yes, I will say I do believe you when
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you say you hold back.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, going back to the point I got derailed from earlier.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Right now, the prequels, the Star Wars prequels are having
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sort of renaissance. I don't know, like they're being accepted
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in a way they were not for reasons that are
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: perfectly legitimate when they came out. I don't think they
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: necessarily deserve the hate that they got, but they deserved
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of the criticism. But anyway, they're being like
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: kind of reclaimed, even though for me it's become really
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: difficult to watch them in terms of the whole Empire
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Rising thing. It's but right now it is both the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: forty fifth anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary of Revenge of the Sith, which feels both
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: too long ago and way too recent. I was in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: high school when that happened anyway, but it's it's in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: theaters now. It's like breaking records. But I feel like
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: part of the reason when I hold back is because
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I love the prequels. I was a kid, it was
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: like the right time and my brothers who loved Star Wars.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I've talked about it before, but they really made fun
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of me for liking them. And I don't want to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: make it sound more than it is because it's not.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But I did get kind of picked on for liking
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: them at school, so I think it kind of became
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a oh, I shouldn't I shouldn't really talk about this.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And I remember very specifically my older brother talking to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: my mom, like you should talk to her. She's obsessed,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, no, something's wrong. So it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it is like a trust thing. It's like, oh, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: don't want to be too much, but also you feel
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: protective of the fandoms you love, like you don't want
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to turn people away. You don't want to turn people off,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and I know coming on too strong can do that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But I got a lot of thoughts and opinions, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of like jokes that no one gets.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So many funs, funds go on.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Memories. Do you remember this toy? Oh my gosh. But
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I have been thinking about people. First of all, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: do want to come back and do a whole episode
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that's just on toys, but that's not really this show,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so I'm not sure it's really appropriate. But the toys
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that really resonated with me, but also the I've been
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: thinking about why people get so riled up about Star Wars,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and obviously there's like the obvious toxic bandom answer, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I think there's also it's about a lot of it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: about morals and philosophy and politics and religion, and so
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: seeing that play out and getting into in depth arguments
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: or debates with people about it where I'm like, we're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: talking about political philosophy now with this movie that has puppets,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it's great. I will say I haven't watched and or
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for it to end for a stream. It
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because of Empire stuff. I mean, it's supposed to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: rising up against the Empire, but we used to all
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: agree that was the Empire was bad. But now and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: because recent Star Wars stuff has broken my heart. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I do want to mention, very briefly, this is a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: whole other episode that has already written and I've just
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: been putting it off. I really didn't like the act Lite,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: but obviously the backlash against it, a lot of it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: was racist, misogynistic, toxic. That's very bad, and we need
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it to go for a lot of reasons, but also
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so we could talk about why I didn't like it legitimately.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That's a balance. Yes, you you don't want to add
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: to the hate train for the bad reasons.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: No, And I would never. I would never. But I'm
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: also like you guys are taking them all the air
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in the room. Yep. But I am excited. I'm excited
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: for Star Wars happenings. I'm excited for Nerd happenings, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to share it with you, Samantha, with everybody,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and hopefully, yeah, I'm not turning you off with my enthusiasm.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I love it. Like I told you before when we
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: were talking about like whether or not you adding too
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: much nerdy content, I told to the fact that we
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: need more things that people love right now so we
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: can celebrate those small things because there's too many bad
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: things and there's not enough good things. So if this
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: is a good thing that you love to celebrate, we
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: need it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am really excited. Oh, I'm really excited. Well,
