• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to stuff
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I've never told you. Prorection, I heard you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And welcome to another happy hour. However, Annie, today is
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: one of those happy hours where I decided I want
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to celebrate all the good things that are happening, including
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the fact that this week is a National Library Week.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I did not realize this, and I was like, oh, well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we need to talk about some of the things that
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: we've been doing because we coincidentally went to a library
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: before all of that. It is a happy hour. So
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: if you're doing anything that constitutes, you know, what we
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: know of as happy hour, do so responsibly. Currently not
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: being sponsored by any of the products or places that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. Probably if they did, it'd
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: be cool. Are you slipping on anything?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I got my wine?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yay? He said, it's not a wine. Sorry.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well, now I'm trying to guess. You need to give
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: me some heads up. Fun.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: No, this is even more fun. I just want to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: see if you ever actually get it. I'm never telling
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you ever. I am drinking on my bubble water because
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that is what I enjoy. I've seen all of these
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: advertisements for like like hemp, cannabis, and like microdosing of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: mushroom drinks. All of a sudden, they've been popping out
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: at me. And I want to know about this because
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I'm like, the last time we had a non alcoholic
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: but CBD drink, it took me out. It took me out.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Two hours later, it took me out. So I'm wondering
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: if all of these others are supposed to be like
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: micro dosing might be better. So if any of the listeners,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: if you have any experience with these, and if you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: brand specifically because I know nothing about them other than
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it just keeps popping up at me all a lot.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'm interested because I want to know it looks refreshing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily need it, but you know, just you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: if anybody knows of it, tell me about it. Anyway.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Besides all of that, Yes, it is National Library a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Week and we have been pretty hardcore and talking about
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: celebrating librarians and libraries and independent bookstores as in fact,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: if you listen to our recent episode with Katie Mitchell,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: who just released her book as of two days ago,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the eighth, April eighth, so Today's April tenth, just in
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: case you needed to know that of twenty twenty five,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: we talked about her book, which was her traveling all
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: over the country talking to owners and past owners and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: family members and those who remember in those who are
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: part of the black bookstores, And we were talking about
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: black bookstores, not black owned bookstores necessarily. So if you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: want more information, you should go check that episode out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: As in fact, we actually got to go and see
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Katie Mitchell on for the beginning of her book tour
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: as it was released. Pros to the people. It was
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: such a good event too, Like I came out with
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: just like such like excitement. I wanted to all of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a sudden go to all the coffee shops and bookstores,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Like we have some cool ones in Atlanta, and I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: didn't even realize because the few that we know like
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: have been established for a long long time, Like we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: have one Keras which is kind of linked with Agne
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Scott but not really like it's near the campus. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: don't think it is actually a part of the school.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But like, we love these types of bookstores anyway, So
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: now I've got more on the list that I need
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to go check out, and they happened to be like
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: coffee shops as well, and I'm like, yes, this is
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: right up my alley. I actually went to Baldwin and Co.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Which was one of the bookstores that is featured in
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: her book, and it was such a great, great little shop.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I will say the coffee was really good too. It
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: was really good. I was like, yeah, so yeah, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: just wanted to take a minute first of all, to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: congratulate Katie Mitchell on her release. If you have not
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: listened to that episode, really really really really need to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: go listen to it. It's so fantastic. If you have
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: not gotten a copy, you need to get a copy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'm telling everyone to get a copy. Because I raved
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and ranted after the fact after the interview. I was
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a little like a little out of it because I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: was in my sick era. But I was absolutely honest
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in like, I think this book is going to be
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: monumental in like a historical way. I think it really
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: leaves a mark and I think it's going to be
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: something that's going to be substantial in history making. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: then I realized I sounded really like I was fanning out,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: but I'm like no, but really, I'm being honest, because
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's one of those books that's not just a book,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it is like so many different things. Like one person
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: said photo album. I said, it reminded me of actually
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: going into a bookstore. Like I felt that way. It
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: is black joy, which just being able to witness that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is glorious. It's almost infectious too, because let you feel
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that vibe. It is so much hope just being there
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: watching her celebrate her accomplishments with the many friends, with
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: her family, who was so beautiful as in fact, had
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to send out some emails to be like, hey, if
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: she comes in your town, you need to go and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: see her talk about this book, her experience with this book,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and also buy this book. She's going to be in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: DC tomorrow. If you're not listening to this when it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: actually published and is on is available, you're probably gonna
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: be like what times like time travels be like three
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: years from now, be like what but even three years
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: from now, if you haven't gotten that book prose to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the people, you should because it is such a beautiful,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: beautiful book and what a testament to such a historical events,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: historical places, historical people. There's so much to it. And yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking about all the good things that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: have had happen for people, the fact that it is
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: National Library Week and so it's presented by the Georgia
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Center for the Book. But it was at the Decatur
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Library Auditorium, which is a part of the Cab County Library.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So if you know anything about Georgia, Decab County, decaturs
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: right next to Atlanta, Fulton County, one of the bigger areas,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: more metro areas of Georgia. And it was such a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: great time. Like, first of all, going into any library
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is fantastic. I don't think I've been to this main
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: stretch of the library. I have a small one towards
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: where I live, and I love them, and I love
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the librarians there. They're so sweet. They're so excited about
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: giving you and helping you with your library card. Is
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: almost like that they won something. It's just so cute.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But this library was talking about the fact that we're
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: about to hit one hundred years in existence and how
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it was started by a black woman on her porch,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like so much history and context to that, and I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: was like, how timely again we hit it right on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: National Library Week. Everything that has happened around the world,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: around the country, especially when it comes to library and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: books and banning of books, that it's such an amazing
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: time to talk about the celebrations and the works of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the many people within the system. And I was looking
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: through like many librarians who have become activists or who
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: were activists or are activists without even trying, just literally
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: trying to curate their offerings of books and things for
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: kids and for others to learn. And the fact that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: they ended up becoming activists because of their work, Like
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: how do you walk into of profession having to defend
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: your work when it's just literally talking about when someone
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: comes in and asks for a subject and being able
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to point them into the right direction. And that's become
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a battleground for so many politicians now, which is absurd.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And the fact that, yeah, it's pretty hard to become
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a librarian. I remember, I have a good friend of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: mine who who she was like working on her degree,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: uh media specialists, and just getting a job was kind
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: of difficult in filing books because it's such a like
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: wanted job and then people stay there forever and you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: have to get master's degree. People are shocked by that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: fact and always too. My ignorant self didn't understand. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: was like, the librarian has to do what and the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: fact that they have to learn so much and under
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: understand so much about archiving and indexing and researching. I'm like, yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you know what, that makes a lot of sense. As
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: then I've looked up a few, uh, like amazing activism
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: people that we should know. Yeah, that's coming up, as
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: well as things that are changing and happening within the system.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously the political climate has really changed with things, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: also how media has changed everything and technology has changed everything.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And we've talked about this for a while. So it
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: is so much fun when we can actually be a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: part of something and be reminded how intersection all these
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: things are, like National Library Week having a conversation with
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: someone like Katie talking about her amazing work in book
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: selling and activism within book selling and within bookstores. Also
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: like being able to support small businesses, being able to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: support individual people who are working really hard in jobs
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and in places that are really hard to maintain. There
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: was questions like if we had a Q and A,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and there are so many questions from like book owners,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: bookshop owners being like, how do we do these things
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to keep in line with not only our standards and morals,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: but also opening remaining open in a business. It's such
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: a deep conversation, but it was such a great experience.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And now my goal, I'm going to follow Katie and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: everywhere I go, I'm going to try to find one
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of the bookstores that she mentions, because she not only
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: mentions and highlights so many. In the back, she adds
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: more like she's like, I might not have talked about them,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: but here's more bookstore. I'm really excited. I feel like
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I've got a good like tour happening soon.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I think, so that's sounds lovely.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I want to do this. I'm so excited because I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: was talking about me and my uh chunky self talking
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: about going to barbecues all over the world or all
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: over the country. One time, I talked about doing marathons,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: have marathons all over the country. My new goal going
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to bookstores, which I love. So New Orleans, of course,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: had a plethora of bookstores, and I actually love, love,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: love going to libraries. Anyway, when I'm traveling Boston, New York,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: we went to so many places, and our part of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that is also seen if our books are there the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: libraries have them. I haven't really seen them in a
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: lot of the bookstores some of them, some of them.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And as in fact listeners, you know, we love getting
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: pictures of our books out there. So if you see them,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: send it to us. It's kind of encouraging to know
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that our work didn't just go to the wayside.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, it is, but like I would.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Love to know if you've seen them, the libraries having
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: them in the libraries. I think it's one of my
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: favorite things to see. When the New York Library had
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: like four copies, I was like, whoa look at us.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I haven't you know what, I haven't checked in our
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: own libraries. I need to check them out. And if
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you want to request them, yes, that's a really good
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: way to go. And by the way, again, end that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: episode with Katie Mitchell, we talked about you can go
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to good books dot com to order and that is
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: actually her pop up bookstore, an online bookstore, so you
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: know it goes to great people to do that. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: also you need to look up pro to the people
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to see where she is touring because she's all going
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: all over the country. So it's really really great conversations
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to be had. I'm trying to think of all of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the great things that I think are happening right now,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: even though a lot of dark things are happening as well.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: But yes, we did. Also, I was going to talk
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: about my New Orleans trip in which I ate all
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the food that I possibly could, including Loretta's Beignet's, which
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: was mentioned. I loved it at Katie's book tour because
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: she's talking about food memories and I was like, yes, Loretta,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: is it really? I missed out on my mini trips
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to New Orleans previously and now I know, So that's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: going to be one of my highlighting spots. Loretta's Beignet's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: next time. I'm going to get the crab beignet. It's
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: like a whole standwich in a beignet.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I sent you this text and this is
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: like a Savor crossover, but I had no idea what
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: prailings were. Apparently in my mind they were just candied
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: pecns uh huh, and that's it. And I didn't know
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: it was a whole like cookie and chewy thing and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: like whole controversy what it is, including how to say it?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yep, and I'm interested in the way you just said it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I said pray laks because that's how I have heard it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And then when we were in Loretta, someone said prawlings
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: colleens and I was like, what.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that And there's a third pronunciation. I told you,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what it is, but there's a third pronunciation.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Is it that creole level of pronunciation? I feel like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that might be No, I think it's I think it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: like the lines because it's spelled lines pray lines. That
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: makes sense, something like the fourth one, wouldn't it pray
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: pra and then clean lawn line's. There's there's a lot.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I figured out that I didn't know what
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: those were. Even from being from the South, I did
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: not know exactly what because I don't like pecans. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: don't like pecans or walnuts, you know, like them. They
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. But like
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: so I didn't think about that. I was like, Oh,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that's what those are. I really had no idea because
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I was confused by the setup of Loretta's because they
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: have their freshly done like baked pralines in their display
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and I was like, what is that?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: That just like a.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Caramel drop like, which, by the way, can be said
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: in many ways as well, but Loretta's. And then we
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: also went to Dookie Chase and we met Leah Chase's daughter,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: who was the executive chef before she passed a world
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: renown chef, and her daughter would say, I was shaking
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: everybody's hands. I was like, what it felt so again,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: like one of those moments of like this is historic
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to me, like this is significant. And she just came by.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: She was like, hope you're enjoying the food. We just
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: want to say thank you for coming. And I was like,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: by the way, it met every expectation. She's like, oh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, thank you like her heart like. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: was like, I love you. Can I can I live here?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I did not. They also had the best gumbo as
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: expected as expected, so my partner really went on a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: muffletta hunt and we went to Central grocerym It was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: really good. It wasn't what we were expecting. I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: we wanted. We were expecting like the toasted version in
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: our heads. And then I was like, oh, I guess
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense. I loved it, and he liked
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: it too, but again. He wanted that toasted version. So
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: we went to Verdiemart, which is on the corner of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the French Quarter, which, by the way, as much as
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: we try to avoid the French Quarter, we ended up
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: there every time. Every tale, Yeah, every time we could
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: not get away. And also Annie, I learned too late
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: about the legend of Scrim and I didn't get the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: stories that I or anything in relation to that. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I'm very sad about this. Do you know the legend
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: of Scrim I don't think. So it's new, it's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: newer legend. So all over the place we found like
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: a little children's book. And then like all of a sudden,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I saw like a painting at one of our favorite
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: lake brunch spots, Surres, and I was like, who what
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is this? And it turns out that there is a dog,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: an escapeboardist dog in that in twenty twenty four, I believe,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: so last year ran away and was gone for like
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: six months, but he became such like an infamous dog
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: in that area that they had like sightings sites for
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: his sightings and people were chasing this dog down and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: it's just like this terrier dog who is so cute,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: and it became like a whole legend of its own,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to the point again children's stories at artwork, and then
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: like free scrim type of things were happening. And then
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: after they finally caught him, he was placed in a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: foster home and in he lived in an upstairs area.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: He jumped fifteen feet off the balcony and ran away
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: for another three to four months. And this time just
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: recently at the end of we had that huge storm,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: especially in Norlands, they got that first storm in years, snowstorm,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and he was survived that he survived this. So he
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: has become a legend in the making of New Orleans,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and like to the point that the city council named
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a day after him, I think, gave him a whole
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: little parade and an award, like it became a thing.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: And I am so sad that I did not realize
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: it till it was too late, because I could not
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: find any march. Because I did, I was like, well,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: now I need the book. But I was I loved
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: everything because you would turn around and there would be
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: little art pieces, and I was just so thoroughly confused
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: by this very scruffy, cute looking dog and why everybody
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: knew scrim but of course it's like a local legend,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you know, right. I love those. Those are some of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: my favorite tales to have.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are always fun.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Like it kind of reminds me of the atl Cat
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Missing cat, you know, the missing cat, which is like
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the most ridiculous, like one of our I think our
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: land is the artist that has like the black cat
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: that looks like it's missing a tooth or something, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: it looks very scraggly, it's missing, and it has all
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: these ridiculous facts. That's probably not true. I don't know
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: if it's based off a real cat or not, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: it's pretty big. I can't believe you don't know what
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I have to send you a picture,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: you know. I feel like you would see that. It's
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: like you've seen it. You're like, oh, I remember, I
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: know I've seen this. Okay, Okay, you about to say something.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was just gonna say, you've seen there's like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: there's a cat. There's a neighborhood cat, oh, that I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: have run into several times that sometimes I feel like
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it's a legend. She does not move out of the way. Uh,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: she's very confident.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Is it the Siamese cat.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I stole and brought to you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love her. It was very sweet and it
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: was like rubbing on me getting them pets. It was like, oh,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: this is someone's pet, I'm gonna take it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: But she just she just roams the neighborhood I see
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: or just randomly. Sometimes she scares me and I'm just
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: like god, you know, because she doesn't move out of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I love it. Well. I love these legends, and I
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: think there's gonna be a couple of more trips in
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the United States for me. So I hope I'm going
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to learn more legends like this all around the country
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: because it just makes for a trip. When you learn
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: these you feel like you're an insider now, as well
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: as the fact like uh yeah going to these bookstores.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: So I just everything made it for those who were interested. Everything.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Everything was great and peaceful. We did have an oopsie
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: with the car, but it's it's fine, But I like
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: there was no moments where I felt really in danger
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: or anything. So the travel was really good. I feel
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: like it was a good experience and it made me
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: feel a lot more at ease. Of course, not to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: say that something can't happen or something wouldn't happen, but
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: right now, like if I feel like that was a
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: successful trip. It really like driving through Alabama and got
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to see good friends of the show, good friends of
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: mine in Alabama, and then you know, making it back
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and having a great time, no incidents, So it was
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: really nice. So having those trips, having being able to
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: come back home and celebrate Katie's accomplishments, it just felt
• 20:19
