• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephane.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Never told you protection of iHeart Radio. So for today's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Monday Mini, we're gonna kind of take a breather for
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: ourselves because we've had a lot of a lot of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: things going on and continuing to go on. But as
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we've mentioned, Samantha has just moved is in the middle
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of moving, and I thought it'd be it'd be cool
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: if you could just sort of give us an update
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on how that has been, what the process has been, like,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: how are you doing the whole thing? The whole thing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is a lot. So it's been about
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a month long process, to be honest, the beginning to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: end up looking for a house to closing what's pretty short,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: very short, to the point that my loan officer was like, yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that's that's the quickest I've seen a turnaround one sitting
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for a house and then getting the house. And the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: housing markets really gross and ugly. Atlanta is really gross
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and ugly, and I have a feeling it's a lot
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: like that everywhere in the United States. I'm not sure
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: outside of the United States. Those whore outside of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: United States. Let us know because a lot of odd
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: happenings in the housing market, a lot of ugly play
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes, play by a lot of different capitalists
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: venturoust slash moneymongers. I don't even know how to say it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty gross but yes, So I have bought
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: my first house. This is my first adulthood venture that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you and I used to talk so much about. And uh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it's been long and tiring. I am very tired. Uh.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We did get to move everything in. I'm officially moved in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: There's I'm only in one place, no longer in two
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: or three places. But it's chaos. And I'm not sure
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: about you or any of you listeners, but when the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: state of my place is chaos, not just messy, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: like chaos where you can't find anything. Everything's out of order,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: nothing's in this room, it starts affecting you. So I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: have these moments that I get giddy because I'm like, oh,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: look at my house. It's super fun. I'm outside of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: my own backyard and I'm I'm in the front of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: my own you know, all these good things, reminding my
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: dog how lucky she is and that we did this
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: all for her. You know, all those good moments, but yeah, overall,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it's kind of wearing, but very very excited. And I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: know that I am very privileged to be at this point. Uh.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I know it has taken a lot to cut to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this point for me, So it's very interesting. I couldn't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: have done this earlier. I don't think I could have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: taken the mental an emotional drain as well as physical
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: toll uh at any younger age, to be honest. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I am completely shocked by those who I have known,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like they bought a house right outside of college, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, how did you do this? I don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: feel like I could have functioned as an adult on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: my own, but that's just me, and I've had my
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: partner as a part of this. So we made the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: big significant move of moving in together, which is a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: whole other conversation you and I have had anywhere. I'm like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they should be a bigger deal, but it's not. Everything
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: at this point in time in my age is just
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: about convenience and it just made sense and that was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: kind of the big decision push like there was nothing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: else outside of all right, yeah, of course why wouldn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we so um and my parents they assumed that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: would be moving together. But as religious as they were,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they're really good being good about it and haven't said anything.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But they are also the same ones that will go
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and tell my other siblings how disappointed they are or something.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fine, but yeah, So that's where I am.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And it's been interesting as a HomeBuyer, as a woman
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to do this on my own. There there's no real pushbacks.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: There hasn't been any big questions. I just I've had
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to do a lot of research, a lot of research
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, yeah, and other than like tired, are
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you feeling like I mean, congratulations, are you feeling I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, honestly, sorry for me to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: envision buying acounts, so it just how how is it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: other than tiring? Yeah, I mean I haven't made a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: payment yet, so I'll let you know when how that goes.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But throughout my process, I've had Melody Bray, who is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the friend of the show she's been on for a while.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: She was my real estate person agent, and she really
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: walked me through the entire process. We have talked about,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, buying conscientiously, making sure that we are not
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: undermining a good family, not doing for closures, not going
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: through bad investors. So I was able to do this
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like less guilty and being able to come into this
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: privileged moment. The neighbors around me are very kind. They've
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lived here for twenty years, so it's really nice to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: see that and getting to know them, very friendly, letting
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: us know the history of the house and just like
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: how it went about and even the history, it's like, okay,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: nothing feels gross about this, Like the original owners and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the builders left after their kids moved out and they
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: just wanted a smaller home and then like that makes
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: me feel better and made a profit off of it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Um investors bought it for Airbnb for a minute, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: then a young couple bought it for a minute um
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and then they moved because of the job. So everything
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: just fell into place, and I felt less guilty and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: knowing that I didn't disrupt something and or was the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: cause of someone's uh, you know, burden m hm. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that was nice to know. But yeah, it's it's it's interesting.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's fully hit me yet, other
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: than trying to decide things like should we paint the house,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: should we do this to this thing. Should we do
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: something for the backyard, which, by the way, we have
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of overgrown growth in the back I really
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: want to get goats to eat it. But that's the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: whole process too. I love that you went straight to goats,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't straight. I was like, what do I do?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: A friend of my mix, because I talked about it before,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, yes we could rent goats.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I really want to rent a goat. Why do you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: think Peaches would do around a goat? She would lose it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: She'll be inside barking at the goats the entire time,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. But yeah, So it's a whole fincher
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like making my own decisions, trying to figure this out,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: understanding what I do and don't like. And I still
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: don't know because I'm not gonna decorating. I have no
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: vision for that. I honestly don't care. I just don't
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: want it to look ugly. Okay. I love that. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see it, and I'm going to slowly
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: sneak in Star Wars items around. You have a room here,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: so you can decorate. Oh my mind, I'm already like
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: overflooding with ideas is going to be a disco thing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for disco with my gosh, I have an update about
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the Disco Loop costume. I'm gonna send you some pictures,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: but it's coming along and nicely. Well, you just got
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: back from a nice little beach day which was like
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a whole Star Wars themed trip. Correct. Yes, it was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a very very nerdy weekends. It started as I had
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: two friends who kind of like cautiously admitted that because
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of my Star Wars love and because I've gotten them
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: into Star Wars fan fiction, they wanted to rewatch the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: prequels and they hadn't seen them since high school. And
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, I can make this happen for you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I can guide you through this journey. And so we
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: were trying to find a weekend where we could go
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to the beach and do it, and then I wanted
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to do it to coincide with We Have a New
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Hope and the premiere of Obi Wan Kenobi. And it
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: worked out and there were four of us there and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they were lightsabers and droids and tipperary Star Wars tattoos
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and disco Luke cosplay, and we made quite the impression
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: on the neighbors in that area. I will tell you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: everyone loves Star Wars. They were like, oh my god,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this is so cool. Thank you. Cool is the correct
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: word for what is happening here. You know. I feel
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like the prequels will be coming into redeeming, especially right now.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: The love for Obi Wan, the love for Gregor and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Hayden Christiansen. I feel like things I've kind of turned around,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: uh for that. Yeah, which is interesting because I have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a similar idea that that will happen to the sequels
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and not. Some people really love the sequels. The sequel
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: serious a lot of hate, but not the same level
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: as the prequels did, at least as an overall thing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Peoples are like haties. It was interesting to watch it
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: because I've seen them recently. I've seen them with you. Uh.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They hadn't seen them in high school, and it was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: interesting to see their reactions. And I will say I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was surprised by a few of them. I for one,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they liked to attack of the Clones better than I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: thought they would. Um. They seem to remember it as
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: way worse, which is maybe worked in its favor. Um.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So they liked to attack of the clones more than
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I thought they would. They were very like almost brought
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to tears by some scenes because they were like, this
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: is so sad. I'm like, yes, it is um And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they loved pad Mame, which I was very happy with him.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: She's awesome. Yes, yes she did perfect crop top as
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: we've talked about. My god. They I didn't even have
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to say anything. I was trying to be quiet because
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I have so many thoughts and opinions and stuff, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, are they gonna sit? And immediately they're like,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what is this perfect crop top there? It is? Thank
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you for acknowledging. So there's a conversation about whether or
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: not they're going to try to do a jarge our banks. Yo,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have you heard this? Oh? I have not. That maybe
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: just like a put out there in Twitter world in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: order to start up some drama. But like anus that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he got some hate and had to come back and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, I know you're still passionate, and I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: know you this character still bothers you, but remember I'm human,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I exist, so stop this. But then like came coming
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: under that a lot of people were defending him and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: talking about how much they loved this character and would
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: be so excited to see his show about him, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: or if he came onto Obi Wan or something like that,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it was a whole big thing. I would not be surprised.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That was so I I really nerded out everybody and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I bought these Star Wars magazines. I had four Star
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Wars magazines, and one of them I think it was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: time the story of Star Wars. At the end, it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: had like twenty upcoming shows that are on its on
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on their way to your screen at least, and this
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: came out in May. At least five of those have
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: already been canceled. So I feel like there's a lot
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of turmoil or maybe turmoils not the right word, a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: lot of shifting pieces, and they're like throwing ideas out
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: there and seeing what sticks. I've got a lot of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fears about the one that's uh going to be directed
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: by the Spider Man people. I think I'm hoping he'll
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: be good, but I've got my theory and it's not
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a good one. It is funny because all my friends
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: were like, it's all of it so sad now and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: like almost, yes, it's very very tragic. Then it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it was interesting to see them kind of work through
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: uh watching it as an adult where you're like, oh yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this was a lot of like grooming and trauma and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Anakin got real real screwed over and it was fun,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: even though I did have to hold back a lot
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want to ruin their experience and I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: had a lot to say. I had a lot to say.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I hear you. I know you were always holding back.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It's true. It's true. It's hard. But you know, I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: think they had a good time and I appreciate it,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and they definitely, uh, they enjoyed. We watched the first
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: few episodes of Everyone Can Be Together, and they really
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: liked that. Um So the success, I'll say, I'm sure
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it was amazing and they had the best time, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they enjoyed every bit of detail you put
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: into it. They certainly brought me a bunch of gifts.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I almost sent youre slew with pictures because I was like,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this is what happens when you're such a big fan
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of something. That they brought me a welcome mats, a plush,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: some makeup, Star Wars teamed make up, some Star Wars
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: popsicle thingies, um, a Star Wars place mats like welcome
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: at and place mats. That's amazing, I know. I was like, well,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I love all of this, but I'm definitely like anyone
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: who comes into my apartment doesn't know who I am,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it's going to be freaked out at this point. I'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: going to know who you are at that point. Like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that is, yes, this makes sense. This is a welcome
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to our world. It's like right away with the welcome mat,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that's too big for our hallways. So I feel, oh no,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: how it's just like it takes up over half so
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I feel bad the other person doesn't have a welcome
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Now you can just share it on their side partially
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on your side. There we go. I have no idea
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: if they would be into that or not. Um Also,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I just want to say I did get a lot
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of questions and concerns about Cannon, and I appreciated it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, who knows. I can tell you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: what I think. I don't know for sure. There's a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: lot of conversation about Cannon now right now with Obi
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: wan of I haven't I haven't followed along. It's just
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like people that I know who love Star Wars are
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: now like talking about it, so I'm like, oh, here,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: here it is in my feet. Cool. I don't know
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: what's happening, but I'll read it. It's the appreciation of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the appreciation. That's what I want to be. But I'm
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: glad you had such a great time, and welcome back
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: when we're back in chaos and trying to put it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: all back together. Yes, for work, and it has been
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a bit of a chaotic cup of people. Thank you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: for asking me and indulging me into the Star Wars talk.
• 14:22
