  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: And Samantha.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And welcome to Stuff I Never Told You, a production
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio. And welcome to another edition of Happy Hour.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: As always, if you choose to drink or whatever you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: choose to do, please do so responsibly. Samantha, are you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: up to anything?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: My bubbly water. I'm keeping it together with my bubbly water.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I have my red wine. I have my red wine.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But I have to say, we're doing kind of a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: discussion revisit of our recent trip with Virgin Voyages. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: my good friend, Katie, who came with me as my
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: plus one, has been texting me at random intervals about
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how much she misses certain aspects of it. And one
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is that there was a very delightful happy hour that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we got to go to.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: True.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It was nice. It was nice. It was kind of exclusive.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It had a pod situation. It was a structure that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was sort of bouncy in the middle, but we loved it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We loved it. So, yeah, I've been thinking about it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And at this point, we've been back for about a week,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I think. And it went well, I would say.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It did. I think it did.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It went well. There was a lot of anxiety on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: my end. I don't know about you, Samantha, but I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was incredibly anxious.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was definitely anxious. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I think mine was like, anticipatory, like, I need to
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: get this, I need to get this, I need to
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: get this. And then dreams of not being prepared. Not
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: that I would fail, but not being prepared.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And if you listen to our recent episode, that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was sort of a reintroduction in case people who discovered
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: us on this trip were listening for the first time.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We did do something that was a little ambitious, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you will hear it if you haven't already. But we
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: read from three horror stories and then discussed them. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the first time we practiced it, I remember thinking, oh,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't considered that we can't stumble on our words
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so much or it's going to ruin the whole.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Right, right. Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Right. Yes.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And bless Rima, our super producer, who was taking notes
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and just said, just practice. You'll be good. Wonderful hype person.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That's a great hype person.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. I was asking Rima all kinds of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: questions right before we went on stage because we did
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a live podcast on this boat that was rocking. Due
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to the weather. Mm-hmm. And I was like, Rima, can
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they hear me swallow? What about... Like, I was asking
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: all these really specific questions. Right. And one of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: things that I've taken away personally from this trip is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that it's been a long time since you and I have.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Done something in public like this. We've never done anything
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: quite like this.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: No. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But you and I, we record virtually. And so there
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: was something that really got under my skin as in anxiety.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: We have an isolation of work. Like we don't know
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: what other shows are doing. So when we saw what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the other shows were doing, It was really hard not
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to compare ourselves to those shows. And I got, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: felt really insecure, I can admit it. I was like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: oh no, okay, that's not what we're going to do
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Because they got a lot of laughs. And I was thinking, oh,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we're not going to get laughs.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think, especially when we, the first show we attended,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I was glad we weren't necessarily sitting next to each
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: other because I have a feeling that I would have
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: been like whispering to you the whole time going, oh,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yes. Oh, yeah. It was so fantastic. And, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the thing is, I've personally known these people since 2010. Right.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And there's something about wanting people you work with that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you respect. thinking that your work is good as well
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: right and that course really got in my head about
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: look how good they're doing we've done this completely different
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: thing they're gonna give me like a pity oh it
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was so good yeah and and i kept trying to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: remind myself you're not doing yourself any favors comparing yourself
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to them or our show to their show it's not
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the same thing And we don't do the same thing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And it went really well. You did. It really did.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Very proud. I also was really proud. And it was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a nice feeling.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It was really nice because I have spoken before. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: have a lot of anxiety. I was worried that I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: would come out and I just have these kind of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: natural reactions sometimes where I shake. And I can't concentrate
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and I can't, I know you've got some medication I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: should probably look into. But I was worried that something
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: like that would happen. And I can't control that. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it didn't. And I feel like I really locked in.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And I was, I think it's a benefit to us practicing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You and I did practice a lot. We did a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: lot of work. on this trip.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: We're right dead yeah I mean like as fun as
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: we had and I do miss it I was like
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: this is the first time I've come back from a
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: long trip like this being like oh I'm kind of
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: sad being home because usually I'm like oh my god
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: finally I'm home but like I still have to tell
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: people no but it was work it was legitimately like
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a moment like oh this is so like
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: there was like it was fun there's no doubt that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: but also every day we were thinking okay we have
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to do this at least once a day you don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: have to lock in we gotta do this we gotta
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: sit with our producer we gotta sit with these people
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: like and try to work things out, it absolutely was work.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Fun work, but work.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah. And, you know, we're incredibly privileged to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get to do something like this. But I have to say,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was jealous of my plus one, at least, who
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: would send these pictures, and I'm like, oh, that must
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: be nice.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're, like, stuck somewhere.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But... It was really nice, and I think
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it was fun seeing people that we have worked with
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: or known for a while in the wild. Like, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: would just occasionally run into them, and it would be
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a fun, unplanned interaction. Right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And we were such a small group, too. I think
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it helped us bond.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Like, you were saying that Other producer, Max, was talking
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: about it being like summer camp.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I could see that because you kind of grow together.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You have made these memories that are so specific to this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: There's no other way to make a memory.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: And there's never going to be a memory like this
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: unless you're back on the same situation, which is very unlikely.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. But it was really fun. We would
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just run into people. You did the work, the gods' work.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Of making the reservations and making sure that we got
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to see each other, eat with each other.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: We will not be left alone.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You were very, you were looking out. You were looking
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: out that no one would be left alone. And I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Researched the hell out of that thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You did.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: So many YouTube videos.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You did. And you went and spoke to like the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: sailor services. Are you....
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Just in case anybody needs IU on Valiant Lady.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: She had my back and I saw her out in
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the wild. And she was like, hey, did you get
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to all your places?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Genuinely loved her.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that was really fun. That was really nice.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And we would kind of like puzzle pieces get moved
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: around about who you were hanging out with when based
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on availability and scheduling and stuff. So that was cool.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I have to say, I live alone. This is probably
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the longest I've gone in a while of not having
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: any alone time. Zero. Because I shared it with my
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: plus one, my room, and then you and I were
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: working all the time.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: The only time I had.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Some was the night. with Scarlet, the night with the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: party that we were being told we have to go to,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and it was fun. But I eventually shut it down
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and said, I need to go shower. We have to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: work tomorrow. That was the only time. Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I literally was like, oh, we just find an escape run.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I told my partner, we've got to go before we
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: get snapped into a different room.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: We've got to go.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: We've been out here for three hours. I've got to
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: go to bed. It's 11 o'clock. We have to be
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: up early. Uh-uh.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to have your fake excuse ready to go.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And I did find out, you did tell me someone
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: asked about us, and I was like, no, we're not here.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: We had to work. We had to work. good things
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to do yeah we did uh which speaking of i
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: didn't get to read any fan fiction the whole time
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and then we got back and the amount of fan
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: fiction that had built up it obliterated my weekend it
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: was really it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Was a wild time so really But it sounds like
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it was a good time for you, right?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But it can feel kind of stressful. You know I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: don't like a lot of tabs open. It feels like work.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And so I just saw how many tabs of fan
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: fiction I had to read, and it was a little overwhelming.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But I did do it. I have accomplished.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Proud of you.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. I also want to shout out
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: your partner, who was a great sport when we were
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: teasing him, but also... Gave me and my plus one
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Katie many a scare on our shared balcony. To be fair,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in his.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Defense, I believe Katie may have started this war. You're right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And I told her, this is your fault. Everything that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: has happened is at your feet.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Because the yelp that I heard while I was inside
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: was quite hysterical. In every way, because he and I
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: scare each other often in the house. It's kind of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: one of the funny things that we think is hilarious
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: between us. And not often, but just enough. So I've
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: not heard that kind of yelp in a minute. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I know y'all got him good.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it's on. Y'all have created a monster.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I was not part of it. But I was victim
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of it. Also, Rima got in on this whole thing. Rima,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, had an old school... digital camera. Like
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: not old, old school, but old school.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I was going to say old school being like 10,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: 15 years ago.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But I want those pictures, Rima. I want to see
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: those pictures.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet they were good pictures.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I assume they're candid and funny and wonderful. I did
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: want to say I was so anxious about this. As
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I said in our kind of reintroduction episode, I felt
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: like a new woman after this was done. I felt
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: so much relief. I was holding it in my body.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize how much. But I did really
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: feel proud of what our team did. And that was
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: really nice. That was a wonderful feeling. It was amazing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to talk to the people who showed up, the questions
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that they asked. I mentioned that a lot of people
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: came for their moms, which I thought was great. It
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: was so sweet.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It was so perfect.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And a lot of the moms would almost take me
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: aside and be like, oh, they're wonderful, aren't they? They're
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: so smart. They're done so well. And it was just
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: so sweet.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It was sweet. Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that was nice. When you put a lot
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of work into something and you have a lot of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: anxiety about something and then you pull it off, it
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is a nice feeling. Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think, again, I'm a little anxious because I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: proud of what we did.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: But it's all in my head.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Like, in my head, since it's in the past, I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: can only see it through my own memories. So I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: we did a great job. So I'm kind of scared
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to hear the episode and be like, oh, why did
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I do that voice? Or why did I sound like that?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Or I messed up here on that one. Like, I'm
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: afraid of that, which is ridiculous because that's too far ahead.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm like, oh, I might
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: not be prepared. I might just leave it up there. Like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: how bad is it? I might not need to do
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: a QA.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Y'all good.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Fix it. Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I think I was so grateful that I just made
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it through that to me, that's a victory.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: That's the win.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was very concerned about the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And I mean, it's hard to parse out when people
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in your life are telling you hey that was really
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: good you did a good job which my friend Katie
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: has been doing but I've appreciated it and it's something
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: that I knew she would be in the audience and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do a good job in this space
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that can feel so strange and isolating to have an
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: audience when we usually are just talking to each other
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it was it was nice and I don't know I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: feel like it went better than what even if there
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: are complaints or word mishaps I think it went better
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: than I thought it was going to go and we
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: were the closing act so it was a lot of pressure.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: We were so like what is happening oh.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: My gosh My stomach hurt. My throat hurt. The physical
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: symptoms of anxiety were setting in.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: But also... You need to get to a doctor. We
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: did banter at the beginning that we hadn't really rehearsed,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and I thought that went well, too.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I think so, too.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so I would say... rounding up things that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: we liked. I personally really enjoyed hanging out with friends
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: or co-workers, randomly encountering them, like I said, and also
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: listeners or new, I hope, listeners, people who came to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the show or watched it. That was cool. That was cool.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It was a little strange at first to be recognized.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But it was nice. Everybody was so kind. You were. Yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So that was cool. I really liked that. And I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: liked learning more about people we usually only interact with virtually.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: That was cool. And the meals. The meals you planned,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that was fun. I think I don't We were working
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a lot, but I don't recall a moment of boredom.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And also, everybody we worked with was great.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And Rima, we can't shout out Rima enough.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: No, they are amazing.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: They are amazing. Did the sound design. Really great hype person.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Talked us down. Was willing to come and do these
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: practice runs over and over again when we were like,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I think we need another go. We need one more.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: And then many amounts of times we're like, we don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: know if this is going to match the soundtrack because
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we don't know if we're too slow, too fast. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: then we got on the stage and it did the
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: opposite of what we had been doing the entire time,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the practices.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I think because we slowed down.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So much.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Because we had been speeding up during the first story, Frankenstein,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: which was the hardest story, I have to say. That
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we slowed down so much that, yeah, the fairy tale,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: which we had never missed the timing on quite so much.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Those were like, yeah, we're good with this one.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And we weren't quite there. But it was still fun.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: That one was really fun. People were laughing.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was me doing the witchy voice a little
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: too much in your reading.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I loved it, Samantha. I think you did fantastically. But yeah,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I just... It's been a long time since I've had
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a moment of... this where I'm like, oh, that was
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a good job. And I'm really relieved it's over.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: That was a relief, like a full relief without too
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: much backtracking.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, God.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
