Happy Hour #153: SMNTY Checks In · Stuff Mom Never Told You

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephan.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I never told you proprection.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I heard you, and we are here with another happy
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: hour just as a precaution. As you typically know, we're
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: not being sponsored by anything. If we were to mention
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: a specific company or a product, we're not necessarily being
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: sponsored by them. Who knows things can change in the future.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: But you know, just to heads up a b we
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: are in a happy hour segment. So yes, oftentimes we
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: do partake in adult beverages, and if you happen to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: be partaking with us, then we would say do it responsibly,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: take care of yourself and make sure you follow what.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You need to follow.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So do what you need to meaning be careful with
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a very serious face. Right right, that's the nanny and me. Annie,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: are you partaking of things?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I am? You kind of made like a mold wine situation.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so cold, you can hear it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I cannot cold here.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's not but I see a lot of water before this, though.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I think the water chilled me.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I was cold today too. I haven't used my heat
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: like it in a minute, and all of a sudden,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like I need it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got like, my get up is very funny.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's very comical. I kind of wish you could see
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it listeners, but I am. I've got a whole thing going.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Like I'm looking at you and I see is do
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you have a down jacket I do instead of your
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: typical hoodie.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I've got like very warm, fuzzy pants.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And then there's like fancy warm shoes. I call them
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fancy just because I know I only wear them for
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: special case since they're actually probably really cheap, but they
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: feel fancy to me.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's fancy, and you'd be fancy if you want
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to be, that's right. I am being very, very very unproductive.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So because I'm unproductive, I'm like, I shouldn't be drinking
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: anything that makes me sleepy, which is all alcohols nowadays.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So I am sticking with my diet drink and don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: come at me about diet drinks. Look, I like it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Leave me alone anyway. But yes, it's caffeinated, so that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: what I need in my life. Today I had actually
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: two cups of a cup and a half of coffee,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: which is not typical for me. I only drink one
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: cup today. I need it. I'm telling you you already
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: know I'm not a bad procrastinator in general, but overall,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: like some days I just can't and that today is
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: just one of those. I just can't, Like I can't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: focus on anything. Thing is making sense. Everything is like
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: going over my head. Sentences are not forming. So I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: think you can already tell by this episode where we're going,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and it's all out of whack. But essentially, what I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: thought we would do today instead of doing aden wine
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because I don't necessarily have a wine and we don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: always have to, I thought we'd do a check in
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: because I think we needed to do more of those.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I know we do those every now and again, about
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: every six months, we think about checking in. I think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we need to do more any because January was weird,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and today's February first, twenty twenty four, everybody, just in
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: case you were wondering, and it's the first of February,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and it is a leap year, so we do get
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: one extra day. However, for some odd reason, January just
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: felt so long, so long. So with that, Annie, how
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: are you?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: She took some I feel like this is like what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: happened with Elmo on Twitter. Oh yeah, was because that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: did not go well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That also went well, Like the two things were like.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, seems like it was cathartic for some for some, yes, yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think that. Uh. January for me it felt very
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: long but also very short. And I have been trying
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to get some things done that I've put off for
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so long and they keep getting pushed, which is mostly
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: my fault. But the month just kind of kicked my
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to be honest, to be honest, and I had my
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: mom called me a couple of days ago and she
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: called me at like eleven PM and then she am,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and if you're like any or anybody, okay, that means
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: things died. This is the end.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Something bad has happened.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I talked to her last night. It turns out she
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: thought I had died because she couldn't get a hold
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of me. And now I feel terrible. Oh no, yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: she was like, give me Samantha's number.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was just thinking, like, who could she
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: contact to make sure you're okay? It should be me,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But I felt so bad because I didn't realize how
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: much time had passed since I last talked to her.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It was Christmas.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah oh.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I know, like Yeah, so that's kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of where I've just feel like I've been so busy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like all of the work stuff and the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: stuff I kind of complained about talked about my last
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: happy hour of like hobbies that I love doing, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just a lot of time, it feels like I'm trying
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to control a lot of stuff, but the last stuff
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is out of my control.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And uh oh, that is a problem when you know
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that you can handle it yourself if you're doing it,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but if it's not something that you can control.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I had to, like I had to hang
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: out recently with some friends where I was just like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I realized, Okay, you're really anxious. You are really anxious,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Like I could just feel it. So that's where I.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: No, that's fair. I feel the same way. I actually
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: had a birthday dinner over the weekend with some friends,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: people that I've known for a long while, a few
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: people that i'd just met maybe, but like for the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: most part, I know them pretty well, but we're not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: close close. And I think I've told you this before,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and I've told other people, like I've come to the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: point that I have become so awkward that I apologize
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: beforehand because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna say something awkward
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: or I'm gonna do something awkward or be really abrupt,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, I'm done and I'll walk away. Which
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: also I accidentally have been hanging up on so many people.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I don't do the phone much, but when I say bye,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, by and just hang up. But then, like,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I realize every time I've done that thus far, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's mainly been with my family, They're saying
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: something extra but I've already hung up, and I'm like,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and I feel bad about that, but I'm like, but
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: we said bye, But this is that level of awkward
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that I am like, I don't walk on the phone
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: for this very reason because I hate doing this, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, what also put to the fact that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I think my phone speaker is a little out of whack,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: so I have to put it on speakerphone. I can't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: do it just from like being a private conversation because
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: my mic is off, I guess somewhere and I'm not
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: paying for any phone anytime soon. But I was just like, huh,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I've gotten worse about this situation. But with the friends,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you know, like trying to get together with people. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: if you don't already know me, which is almost expected now,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: if you've hung out with me in the last year
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: at all, then you know me well enough to know
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that she's going to say something not necessarily offensive but
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a little awkward or just abrupt. Is gonna be like
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I just completely changed subjects out of nowhere, or think
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: something that I could pull it from my mind, thinking
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that you've been we've been having this conversation when we
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: haven't type of level, because apparently all I do is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: talk to myself. So in the story, so like I
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: realized I do this a lot. And so when I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was sitting with this group of friends already, it's awkward
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: because it's at a restaurant, a public restaurant. You're at
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a table that's long, so you see everyone, but you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: not by the people who you know the best or
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the like who you typically would talk with or can
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: talk with easily. So you're already arranged at a different location.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I already have it in my head that the people
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: next to me don't necessarily want to talk to me,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and we are not close in general, so all of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: those things in play. I'm just sitting there like awkwardly
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: staring at the menu, doing my one liners, which are
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: typically kind of funny or awkward, which is my theme
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in life, and we just move on and sit in silence.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's essentially how that evening went. I think now,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: maybe it's just because I was in a better place,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: or I'm less anxious or less emotional sometimes, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like a is in turmoil. I just accepted.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It, embraced it, and then I came home with it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I did it interaction. There's so much of that, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think, like my whole my I've always been pretty intense,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Like people get really intimidated by me, to the point
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that I've had people be like, Okay, you need to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: stop getting into these deep conversations with people, because people
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: get nervous when they come back around because they're afraid
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that you're going to ask something and then they're going
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to open up the floodgates and be like, why the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: hell did I just tell you that, which happened a
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: lot like I would have these conversations with people and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in the conversations are like, I'm not sure why I'm
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: talking to you about this, and I'm like, well, because
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I asked, and if you ask me, if you tell
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: me something, that's like when I say how are you?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: And then people will be like, oh, I'm good. I'm like,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, well what you've been up to? And then
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it leads into this, to this to this. Then it
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: always goes down the track of whatever you might have
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: been dealing with. One time, I was like, if you
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: especially if you say eh, and I'm like, oh no,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: what's the matter, what's happening? Like, I will ask and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I truly want to know. And it gets a little
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: intense for some people. And I get that, and I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: get that, and I try to hold back as much
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: as possible. What's funny, though, is that my first question
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: with people who know me really well, and I say,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: how are you? They all know I'm not asking for
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a eh, fine, how are you? Like, I'm truly asking
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: what it is? And I think I told y'all that
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I'm am a signal with a couple of my friends
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: who I don't talk too often, and we've talked more
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and more because we have this chain, and I just
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: did a check in. I was like, hey, checking in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to see how y'all are doing. And the response to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: for my friends was like, you always ask how we're doing,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but never say anything about how or what you're doing. Suspicious,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Why do you want this information? How are you planning
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to use it? And I know that sounds really mean,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but it's very much like ragging me because I don't
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: necessarily immediately respond, and typically because when I start asking
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you a question, I will continue to ask questions because
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I am honestly interested. I want to know, I want
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to see how things are going. And then by that
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: end of that conversation, either that other person hasn't thought
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to ask because they're so caught up in whatever they're
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: telling me, or caught up in thinking about whatever when
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: they were telling me, or time is ended and I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: have to move on, like I've either left because I'm
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: like I'm don't stay for a long time anywhere. I'm
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: like MA, or you got sidetacked by another conversation or
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: something like that, or the reason the conversation ended because
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: you had to do something. And it's very true and
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, and my response too, is because
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: nothing big is happening. I really don't feel like I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: have anything to tell. I feel like my life is
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: so boring, and I could tell you some silly stories
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: of things I'm dealing with, but in comparison to everything else,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal. So I don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: think I have anything to contribute. So there's all these
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: things that happened when I'm with a bunch of people
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that I'm like, I have to figure out a balance.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Not doing well with that, And every time I interact
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: with people, I realized how unbalanced these activities or my
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: conversations really are, and I'm trying to figure out, like,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is there is there a way to really stop that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I had a similar thing because I was like the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: voice in my head was saying, don't say anything. Don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: say anything, You're just gonna make embarrass yourself. Just listen,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that's the best thing to do. But I was so
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in my head about it. Yes, like it was weird,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and I was just like clearly fidgeting and anxious. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't know, he's only good friends of mine. I was
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: just something about it. I think because of COVID, we
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: are still a lot of us are still kind of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like trying to get used to okay with people again.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And I think that balance of because I Also on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the flip side, if I'm having a different type of anxiety,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I can't handle silences very well, so I'll just be like,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you know, this horrible hanging out and maybe nobody wants
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to hear by that horrible thing that happened. An opposite direction,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I do both. Sometimes I'm like I will say nothing
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: about myself and other times I'm like, I'll tell you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: literally everything you want to know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Let me trauma dump as they say, you know. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: just again, and we talked about we're talking about COVID.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Actually found out someone that I just recently saw family
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: member is has COVID. Hey, y'all, COVID is still happening.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Just a reminder, please still wear masks if you can,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: because people are still dying down or here, check in,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: check in. But the fact that it's still absolutely happening,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and we're not talking about as much. We know it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: an endemic and we know it's going to be here
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: for the remainder. But and I'm not saying that that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever, whatnot, but we can't ignore the fact
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that it still exists. It's still causing a lot of harm.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Just a reminder with that, Yeah, I am coming back
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to the fact that interacting with people can also carry germs,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: so many germs. Yeah, that's true, and we need to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: be really, really cautious again. Yeah, as you alluded, is
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: an election year. We have so much to do. We
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: do want to come back because I know when I started, actually,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I guess it's about right, because it's about five years
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and we had a lot of conversations about voting and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: women voting and the marginalized community voting and what that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: looks like and what we need to be paying attention
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to and misinformation. We want to come back to that
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: again as well, because we think it's really important as
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a part of the check in and what we talk about.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: What we talk about with the intersectional feminism was happening
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: around the world again, that the US is committing war
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: crimes and it makes us sick, and we do need
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: to face that and have that conversation often the fact
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that we in the US are watching have noted that
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: at least sixty five thousand people who have been raped
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and been made to carry pregnancy to the full term
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: against their will with no help, That people who are
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: pregnant have been penalized when they've had miscarriages that we've
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: had seen so many cases that are happening right now,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: people who are pregnant, who are in danger with their
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: pregnancy not being able to get the treatment they need
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that is life saving. That is still happening, and we
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: have to have that deeper conversation as well. With that,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: we also encourage you, our listener, to make sure you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: are taking care of yourself, drinking the water that you need,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: but not too much because apparently if you take too much,

  Speaker 2: Well you didn't.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But it has two new features and one is the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Lost level. Well, it has a couple of new features,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: but the two main ones are like, one is the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Lost Levels, where you get to play levels they deleted
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: from the final game. That was cool. Yeah, And then
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they have one that's essentially just like random encounters, so
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it'll be like Elly and Dina have to fight through
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: this thing and then you it's sort of teared and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you get like different costumes and items and it's like
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it's gonna take me forever. I can see why people
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: are spending hours.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: An hour's amazing because now you didn't stuffer so many
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: new things.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I know that's how they get to though.
• 19:56

  Speaker 2: on the possible bill that that lawmakers have introduced about
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the non consensual AI porn because of the stuff that
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: came out with Taylor Swift, which I find interesting and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: as maybe you've stated, would have been nice for this
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to have happened a long time ago when it hurt
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: regular people, regular victims. But it took to being Taylor Swift.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Would you know, we love Taylor Swift here for the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: most part. You know, she's got some great songs. We
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: are we use supporters. You go watch that football game, girl,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: But that it took to this point, but at least
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: something maybe maybe hopefully it won't be one of those
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: things like the Kosa thing or any of that which
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: is obvious lee affront for government control. Wow, I sound
• 21:04
