• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm not talking to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: step I never told you a production of I Heart
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio and happy to you. Happy New Year twenty twenty three.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We have, as we've discussed before, officially given up on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: any kind of predictions, um outside of our own personal ones,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: because we got so screwed over in We hope that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you're New Year was great, safe, whatever you chose to do.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We are full transparency. This is going to be a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: shorter one. We're recording this before the New Year because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we're about to try to take some time off. UM.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But in theory, do you have an a New Year's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: plans anything you're excited about doing well? As you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I would rather I am a person that remains at home.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things my anxiety does not like
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the idea of being on the road during this time.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Whether it's because there's a lot of law enforcement out
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and about right the nab people up for anything and everything,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: or if it's just because it's pain and conducing to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hang out with people. And also the and we've talked
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: about this many times, the over over hypeness of the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: expectations of what New Year's is supposed to be, so
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's just nice to be at home, enjoy, do
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a little toast and then go to bed. Maybe even
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: before the New Year's who knows. Um, but I will
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: be doing our traditional mills. You know, we've talked about
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this before. Probably going to be ordering from the restaurant
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that I've ordered previously because it's been very convenient and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of food, pretty pretty good deal. The black
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: eyed peas, the colored green, some type of pork, all
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of that. So definitely be doing that. That's the only
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: thing I know for sure. What about you? Yeah, I'm
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: making I make my super alrety about the ingredients because
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: there's been so many shortages that I'm not gonna mess
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with that because I just put like canned peas and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: colored greens and chicken broth and then sausage and make
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a sweep and it's great and that's the best thing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So I got that. I got my champagne. Um, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: always watched you as you know, I gotta play some
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of my favorite game. I gotta watch my favorite movie.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And then I got a plane when it's going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be the next day, which would probably be some of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the same things. So I gotta be careful with that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we were talking about. I also would like to spend
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it mostly alone or like mostly not doing like parties
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and stuff, because I did that last year and it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was amazing and I am tired. Everybody. I think I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: all tired. I think we're all tired. UM. I've had
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it like for the past two weeks. I've had a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: lot of people hanging out with and it's fun and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it's great, but I'm tired. I'm trying to not do it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We'll see because as we've been talking about with why
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: people pleasing, I don't know what's going to happen. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's fun because this episode is coming out after all
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of this has already gone down, well, check back in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and talk about it. UM. And we have been discussing
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: kind of our our year in wrap up and things
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like that. UM. We did have a couple of things
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have happened since then. For one, we had a Sminty
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: team meeting, which was very enlightening, UM. Very cool to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: see people, even though it was over video conference, UM,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but to hear what people are excited about and what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to try to do in the next year.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And as always, listeners, we love hearing from you, what
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you like, what you want more of, what do you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: think we need? But I do think we're we came
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: up with some some plans that we're both excited about,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and one of them is, you know, hopefully getting more guests. Yes, yes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: as you know, we really love doing the activists around
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the world UM and we've talked about how that's the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: shorter segment, trying to get as much information and a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: lot of the times with people doing the things today
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: still or now were limited in all the information that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we can gather. We try to do it internationally also
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: limits us with that, but we still think there's an
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: opportunity to be able to bring on guests to talk
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about what they are doing and the impact they're making
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in their community, and we think that's something that we
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: should all celebrate. So we're gonna try to do a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: little more guests stuff not often. Again, schedules happened, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: think complications happened. We know this UM this year the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: last two years being at home, doing our recording from
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: home kind of limited us for those who especially for
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: those who have never done a podcast, equipment is a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: whole different thing. So you know, as a hope crush
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: your fingers. Um. Yeah, definitely something that we were wanted
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to do. There's some amazing people that we've already gone
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on a list, honestly, have started our list of guests
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that we would love to have. We have people who
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: write to us, whether it is publicist or whether it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is um agents and trying to get to us. Those
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that are actually on par with what we are talking about,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we are definitely interested in. So uh, if you have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: someone that you know of that you think it would
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be great, great guests, not just for the activists around
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the world, but whether it's an amazing book or a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: movie or a documentary, we love those. Whether there are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: distributors like as in then beverage industry or whatever whatnot.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Love that. Also want to do a quick shout out
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: because we did meet up with our team, but yes,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Maya and Christina and Joey who was a part of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Sminty family. They are amazing. Hopefully we'll have them
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on more and more. That's what that's the other part
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we need to do to Yes, yeah, because this would
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: not happen without a team, and we really do have
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: an amazing team. It was it was cool to see
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: everybody and hear what people were excited about, what their
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: interests were. And we do have a really wide range
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of interests, which I love. We have a pretty big
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: age gap too, and Joey being our gen's ere yes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Christina as well. I think, wait, is maya really oh
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I quit no, no, but it's cool. I'd
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like that we have we have this wide group of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: interest and experiences to draw from. I like that people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: are excited about different things that they're working on. That's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: very important to us that it doesn't become something that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: totally miserable, as much as you might hear is kind
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of complain we're tired or whatever. We do. We love
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the stuff. We love hearing from you, we love working
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: with them. It's a very nice it's a very it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a job that I'm constantly like, wow, I get to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: research this fictional character for now, that's okay. Ye. So yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, as we said than our New Year's episodes
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that we're trying to be very uh realistic with our goals. Um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so you know, we have we have smaller kind of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: ideas of like you know, slowly increasing guests or whatever.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that is something and some of you have
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: written in. We have a couple of people were going
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to respond to after the New Year, because I figure
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: everybody's busy right now. Who have written in? Is that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like I think this would be a good guest or
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: whatever that is. So we do read those emails, those messages,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: never fear, just kind of like waiting for the new year,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: which is now but as we recorded, is not now. Yeah,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's just one of those things. Well, well we'll come, we'll,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: so we'll circle back around after the holidays. Genuinely, we
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: really will. We really will, we really will. And yeah, yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: so we're excited for that. We're excited to hear more
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: from you listeners. We would love to have more listener
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: mail segments if you all, I know, it's like a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it is a time commitment doesn't have to be you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: can literally just right in like I liked that and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that makes our day, so you can do or the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: longest ages. We love those two. We would love to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have more listener mail segments, um or even just reading
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: listener mail at the end of episodes, so hopefully we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: can make that happen. Um. We are, as we said,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: our Sex in the City drawing where we're going to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have one of you on is coming. We promised, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: haven't forgot, we didn't lie about it. It is going
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to happen. But yeah, we're kind of putting a pause
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: on it for the holidays. Uh, and we're gonna do
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the finale we think is the one we've we've landed on.
• 8:32

• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and a lot of you will have written in site.

  Speaker 1: I've never seen it. You're you're being good company. Producer
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Christina came on. She literally has never seen anything, but
