Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm excited.
Yeah, we're recording in theSun, ashley.
This is our second take becauseAshley's dogs went nuts, so
this is like the first timewe've recorded here too, I think
.
Mm-hmm, like together We'venever recorded in Ashley's house
before, always Chanel's, oryours or mine, when, like when I
first on Toby, we recorded myhouse and it was chaos.
What an argument.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Seems like I get set up.
I'm excited.
There's really nice mics.
I've never really heard myselflike this.
As I'm talking, I'm like isthis my voice?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
it is your voice, we like it.
What's funny is, though, for meand Ashley sometimes I'll
listen to like our Earlierepisodes when I don't like
really remember them, andsometimes I can't tell me and
Ashley's voice apart.
If we're like going back andforth, it's because Stacy tries
to sound like me.
Well, it's a little easier now,because she sounded just a
little bit different now thatyou have braces.
So In the cutest way, the cutestway is braces yeah, brace face.

(03:30):
So we should announce what ourbook of the month is right now.
Ashley, just finished it.
We today today she texted uswe're doing hot.
Oh my, it's so good we did.
We're doing bride by AliHazelwood.
It's pretty popular right nowand I'm about halfway through it
.
It is excellent.
It's like force proximity,force marriage.

(03:50):
There's the nodding scene in itthat people are losing their
minds over.
Do you know what that is?
Yeah, do you know what noddingis cool?
Mmm-hmm.
I'll go on.
Well, I'm not explaining itagain.
What's funny is that I've beenreading this book at work and so
I just assume that everyoneknew what it meant.
So I'm like the dedication inthe book is great, because she
says something like I could notdo this without you.

(04:11):
With spells it not, or whatever, and everyone's like well,
what's that?
And I was like Maroon, I waslike well, I, I don't, I don't
want to say it's sexual.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's very sexual.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, no, I need to know.
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'll do what I've been doing at work and reading
that.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Come on the podcast and tell us.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I do love that such a mainstream book has nodding in
it.
It's usually like a fanfictionthing.
It's a big fanfiction thing.
It's big with this book.
Is it like a alpha, omega, betakind of universe?
Thing, Do you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I mean yeah, I think like, oh yeah, that guy's an
alpha or he's a beta.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I didn't know what it was Like, or you've heard like
oh, that's real, like alphaenergy.
It's like main character energyand it's like very, it's like a
, it's usually Analystic andpheromones and like faded mates
kind of stuff.
So urban dictionary for noddingI Kind of want to guess.
I mean, I'm assuming it'ssomething like like when you get
married, like you tie the knot,no, no, okay, well, well, but

(05:14):
is it just usually in mates thatthe nodding happens, though
it's only because I thought,well, I don't want to rubble,
will go over next time.
But, like in this book, theymake it seem like it only
happens with your mate, notanybody I would actually.
I don't know, because all thestuff I read it is mates who are
doing it, usually so in thefanfictions I read, but I don't

(05:34):
know if it has.
I don't think it has to be amate anyway.
So nodding Urban dictionary.
When animals mate, specificallycanines, I'm not sure about
felines.
This is the penis enlargesduring climax.
It remains enlarge the pointwhere you're literally, where
he's literally stuck inside ofthe female as long as possible
for the mating process to go on.

(05:55):
They're stuck together.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
This happens.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
For a while.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Oh yeah, it's just more than just a little bit of
time.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, no, no this is, yeah, this happens to ensure
insemination and that the malecan ejaculate several times
before he shrinks down smallenough to unmount.
This is a kink used in allsorts of hybrid ABO fanfictions
examples.
Does this big have nodding init?
I have to see this tip, allright my mouth is my mouth is on
the floor right now.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I've never heard of this.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
I just love it, because people who don't know
truly are like oh, I don't know.
And then I we tell them andthey're like oh.
Speechless it's when it's doneright, it's.
This is the first thing I've.
This is the first thing I'veever read with nodding in it
before me too.
That's not true.
I've read so many ABO fixes.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
It is not the first one I've read, but but I'm
interested so okay, just read aguitar and actually Really
encouraged me to read it andthat was the first time I've
heard of like a mate.
Mm-hmm, but there's.
This must be more like it mustexpend to other like fantasy
novels

Speaker 1 (07:02):
and.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I think that back because we read that vampire,
vampire, yeah, vampire thick,and it wasn't exactly nodding,
but it was kind of.
It was very similar.
You see it a lot and likewerewolf fan fictions and stuff,
it's really big because, andlike nature had seen in, like
canines, like they said, but andall the fan fictions I've read,
usually it's just like abiological thing, like the males

(07:26):
who are alphas do this, whereasif you're a beta it's not
really a thing.
So can't be a beta?
Yeah, be an alpha, yes, andthen the, the other person.
It doesn't have to be female,because I've read ABO fix, where
it's male, male and it's fine.
It's just different.
You look so happy.
Oh fucking love, male on, malefix, you know anyway.

(07:47):
But it's usually the woman'slike an Omega, which is like the
pinnacle of like a woman you'dwant there, like, so that's like
the opposite.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's like the equal to a male alpha.
Yeah, woman, oh, mega yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
so okay, so in bride is she supposed to be like an
Omega?
I don't know, I haven't got.
I'm only halfway through it.
I think theirs is just more oflike a faded maids thing with it
right, cuz you finished italready.
Yeah, it was amazing, yeah,yeah.
Is the notting in it amazing,worth the hype that everyone
talks about?
On tiktok?
There's only one scene where itactually happens.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's, yeah, I mean I hate it, I didn't hate it.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's.
The writing was very good withit.
Yeah, I'm pumped, I can't waitto get to it.
I wouldn't recommend listeningto it.
Like 8 am this morning, like Iwas, I'm just like what's
happening?
What's happening?
So, yeah, that's the thing.
Oh, we probably just ruinedmost of it.
Don't let Chanel listen to thisspoiler alert.
There's notting in it.
I Think everyone knows because,well, I mean, if people are

(08:47):
interested in the book, it'sreally popular on Instagram and
tiktok and stuff.
But there's all these reallyfunny tiktoks of people because
Notting is huge in fanfictionbut it's not like a big thing
and publish reading.
No, this is the first likepublic book like this.
So people are reading it, whichis cool, like who have no idea
and they're just like, oh my god.
And then tiktok so funnybecause it's just like.

(09:08):
People are like, oh, you'vebeen reading fanfiction since
you were in high school.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
There's like one night and you're like whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
We clearly didn't grow up reading the same things.
Yeah, I Knew that wasconvenient, because literally I
texted Chanel when I got brideand I opened the, the dedication
.
Literally she says I could notdo this without you.
And I was like I knew it.
There's gonna be.
Not even this book.
I mean, they reference it thewhole time, kind of, but it just

(09:37):
, you know, a build, so you'regonna have to read it so you can
tell us what you think.
Okay, I've offered to giveactually some a biofix to read
and she's not about it yet, soyeah, and it's full disclosure.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I have not read any fanfiction yet, but Stacy did
make Like we'd make a book thatI really want to read manacold
so I'm gonna read it.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's gonna be coming, but right now.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm only on the fourth book of a guitar so I got
a finish.
You're really on the fourthbook.
On the fourth book, like thenovella.
Yep, I'm on the novella andAshley, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You are only on the second book.
He's on the fourth.
I'm almost done with it.
I'm reading three books at thesame time right now.
I don't have enough time.
That is a lot.
It's nice to just focus all myenergy towards one, yeah,
because it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
There's action there's love.
There's a lot happening and Ifeel like it holds your
attention really well I wouldn'tyou want to keep reading it,
especially in the third book,where so much is going on?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I feel like this third book.
When I talk to people who arelike usually guys, they love the
third book because there's likeaction and story in it.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I feel like I think the third book is my favorite
yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm almost done with the second.
Well, the third book's reallygood too, because you just get
so much more of the othercharacters in it too.
All of the soup TikToks makesense now that I've seen about.
Akatar because you've read thesecond, because you're past that
scene in the second one.
It was good.
Akatar is a great series.
That is a great series to likeget introduced, to like the
Fated Mates stuff and it's oneof my favorite.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I feel like for for a guy who's only really read,
lord of the Rings is, like youknow, that's high fantasy.
Just kind of take a differentroad and go down to Akatar.
It's very, very different.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, it totally is, and I think more.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Most people think like oh, this is for women, it's
, you know, all love romantictrauma, but she's surging mess,
she's got a lot of like fighting, battle scenes and action in it
.
They're really, I think, holdsthe guy's attention too, I mean
you can still, you can be a guyand you can like love, you can
like romance and she does reallywell with like balancing all of

(11:48):
that.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I think the third book is more action heavy, which
is why I think I like it alittle bit better, but it seems
like and I could be wrong itseems like guys like they like
Lord of the Rings so muchbecause of like the elves and
stuff, and then fairies are kindof like elves, so like I'm not
surprised guys.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I think they are right.
They both have the pointy years, yeah, and they live they're
immortal like you know, we bothhave that in common, and I like
that.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
not all the fairies and serergy masses world have
wings, so then it has more oflike the elf thing to it.
There's a lot of Lord of theRings fan fiction too.
Shit ton People love Lord ofthe Rings.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, I'm excited to get into the fan fiction scene
with.
I mean, you've said this is themanacold is the number one.
Yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
But should he really be reading that one as his first
fan fiction?
That?
Was the first one you read.
I'm concerned.
I mean, I had read some stuffin high school, yeah, but um,
yeah, cool, I wasn't readingmanacled yet.
I'm worried for his heart.
His heart's gonna be fine, buthe needs to read it now, because
it's gonna be published nextyear.
So yeah.
I told him he should do livereactions like uh, what, oh,

(12:54):
what Jay did?
We had a.
I think I told you we had a guyon who got really popular on
tiktok because he was liverecording his reactions to
manacold.
He was amazing.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
His wife had read.
It was like you need to readthis, but was.
What was even better, though,was like some of his live
reactions he gets halfwaythrough and he had to have, like
this, eye surgery.
So then it's him listening toit.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
That'd be really entertaining.
It was really entertaining.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, manacold is probably like the most famous
fan fiction, I would think.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Well, I'm excited to read it.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
But um Bride the girl who wrote Bride was a Star Wars
fan fiction writer.
Yeah, that's why we love Allieso much.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Okay, so she's written more than just this one.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
This is like her sixth book or something, I think
that's published, but she wrotea ton of really great um.
It's not her first number onelike it's not her first book on
the New York Times best seller.
No, it's like her fourth orfifth I think, because I know
the love hypothesis was and lovetheoretically and something
else.
She's really great, cool Well.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
I'm excited to hear about it, yeah so it'll be good.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
So it's all werewolves and vampires in there
.
So we like we talked aboutwerewolves last time and we told
Janelle we talked a little bitabout vampires.
We sprinkle them in but it'smore like a fantasy episode,
because we wanted to talk to youabout some Akatar stuff too
since well, but I wouldn'tactually not gonna want to hear
this, but since you're almostdone with Akatar, you have to
read if you like action andstuff.

(14:21):
Her first series, throne ofGlass, is amazing.
Ellie at work is reading it.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I've heard a lot about that.
I've heard a lot about Throneof Glass.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And so is Hayley at work.
She's reading it Two of theother nurses at work I have.
I'm on the last, I'm on thesecond to last book and it's
incredible.
It's really good.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Better than Akatar.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
It's really different .
It's a lot slower start thanAkatar, I think, because I know
everyone says like the firstbook's slow, but I would say
like the first even slower.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Oh my, the first two books are really slow at first
and then it picks up.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Okay, but there's eight books in the series.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I feel like you know when you walk in the bookstore,
like over here on Mass App.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And that's you see, like Akatar and Throne of Glass
kind of like on those likelittle stands like as you walk
in, like that's the first thingyou see, and that's another
thing.
I think I kept seeing Akatareverywhere.
Then, yeah, I think Ashley sentme one reel and then my out.
My Instagram algorithm juststarted showing me all these

(15:17):
that's all mine, Akatar.
Reels, tiktoks.
They get crossed over from, youknow, tiktok into Reels and it
piqued my interest and a lot ofpeople at work had read it too,
and so, after I was okay, I needto check this out for myself
and I did and I liked it.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, he's playing a little series.
Who's your favorite characterso far, you think?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Recent yeah he's great Because you know how you
like read a book and you're likelike what person?
Would I be in this series you?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
know you always pull yourself in their shoes yeah, I
would be Recent, I would be themost powerful.
No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
I'm so cocky.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
But, I think, you, yeah, you just you just really
come to like Recent he's?
I don't know he's yeah he'ssuper powerful and he's like he
has the coolest core he treatseverybody, yeah, he treats
everybody like everybody's kindof equal you know which is not

(16:14):
the case, as you see, like inthe spring core starting out.
But then you start to learnmore and more about the night
court.
Yeah, and you're like, oh, thisguy runs like a pretty clean
ship like yeah, he's anall-around good dude.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, I love, I love him.
I tell Ashley the time that shegives nest of vibes, which is
better once you get further intoher story.
It's just no one likes nesta inthe first book but honestly,
when you get to, when you get tothe last book, it's probably my
favorite.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I've heard the last book is nest's book and it's
nest's book and it's just.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's just.
You told me that before Istarted the series.
And then I started the seriesand the first thing is like nest
is terrible.
I was like she's terrible, yeah, stacey thanks, she's such a
strong character she's probablyshe's probably my favorite,
especially when she's the lastbook because she's so complex.
I get really annoyed withElaine.
She really annoys me for themost of the series, but I feel

(17:09):
like you never really know thatmuch about Elaine, like even
through the third book

Speaker 2 (17:14):
you get a little bit more development from nesta, you
start to learn more about her.
But Elaine is I don't know.
She.
Yeah it.
It's kind of hard to like pinher down.
Like what does she really like?
You know that she's like verykind of like soft spoken and I
don't know, just like sweet, butshe doesn't have a lot of lines

(17:34):
, yeah in the book what is?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
that the right word and she's like not present a lot
dialogue.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's yeah, she doesn't have a lot of dialogue
in the book, so it's kind ofhard to figure her out.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
I talked so much shit about her.
Watch her books and beincredible and they're like
she's totally routine oh, isthis?
She's getting her own book well, they don't know for sure, but
this I think they're she's gonnaannounce the next book and a
guitar and everyone's prettycertain it'll be a little okay,
since they've set up like ohwell, never mind, because you
haven't read that far yet.
Just kidding, you haven't readthat far yet.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I know, but I see no tiktok.
I know what they're setting upfor, so I know why it's gonna be
her all the rumors, I don't.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
I really love Lucien.
My favorite characters, morgan,I love her.
Should I not love her?
I love her, I don't like hereither, but what go?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
on why don't you like her.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
You gotta get to where Cole is.
I think you'll see Cole whenyou for the book.
I don't know I just thinkthere's something kind of sketch
coming about her.
And then once you get all theway down the series and you get
on the rabbit hole with peoplelike go hardcore with like these
conspiracy theories and liketheories of people's characters,
and then you're like is she areally great character?
I don't know.
Is she messing around?
Like I don't know?
Like I don't know?
I can't tell you she ever readit.

(18:42):
I like her right now.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
But no, I do, I like her too.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
But it's just like because her she's supposed to be
like a truth teller, whateverthat's like her power, but then
is she.
It comes across that she'slying a lot, so like what is it?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
that's like, that's her, her gift, her gift is true
teller.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah am I supposed to know that?
It's like a?
Isn't like a greek mythologything they relate her name to
and then they say it.
It cut like I forget what.
I haven't read the whole seriesin so long.
But yeah, that's like her thingis.
She's a true teller?

Speaker 2 (19:11):
yeah, that is, I do remember that.
Yeah, but to go back Lucian isgreat, I think you see.
So you're how far through the?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I'm almost done with the second book?
Yes, okay they, they, they'redone in the cabin like I think
they're getting out okay, butshe's seen Lucian in the woods.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, in the woods, okay and that kind of puts a
bitter taste in your mouth fromLucian because he he had the fox
mask and everybody called himthe fox because you know he
might be yeah he might be alittle bit more clever and have
some kind of ulterior motive.
Uh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
After the fourth book , you're still kind of on edge
on Lucian, but he does he hasone big redeeming.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Um what like scene.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah well, better be good, because I don't
like him or Tamlin right now.
I will just say after, becausethrown of glass is done, I know
I should it's.
I know I can hear them a lotright now.
But I will say Sarah is reallygood at like setting something
up and so, like in thrown ofglass, she sets something up and
then in the sixth book six bookI read it came full circle.

(20:24):
It was something she likereferenced in the first book so
she waited like five books tobring it up again.
So, like she's really good atsetting up, like, yeah, creating
like a web, like you have likeyou picture her just having like
this big map and like who'sconnected to?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
who with all the red pieces of yarn and tacks and
like I love writers that do thathow they like bring something
back like you know jk rollingwas really good with harry
potter yes, setting up like somebig twists in the end and
reveals that are awesome.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
You're like, wow, like she really had to plan that
one oh yeah, I still rememberreading the severest twist when
I was reading the books in highschool.
I mean like oh my god yeah well, you're gonna love manacold if
you love that, because talkabout an author who's great at
yeah, dropping things in thebeginning, then it being a big
deal later okay yeah right, yeah, manacles, great, there's like

(21:16):
before manacold and aftermanacold.
It's just funny because yourlife change.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
It's just funny because when I.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's just funny because when people I love, when
people read fan fiction becausethere's so many great stories
there's like all these authors,it sometimes comes off, when you
read it, cooler than publishedwork because it's literally they
just like writing these stories.
It's for free, but you it'slike people who've not really
heard of it.
You can see it like there'snews articles about this and
like a big thing when it got,when it got picked up by the

(21:45):
publisher and all this stuff,and so no people who've never
even heard of fan fiction arereading it and they're starting
with that and it's just reallydark and I'm just like, okay,
like, and then you have like theog's.
Like you know one of the guys wework with me and co work with,
who read my immortal in highschool, the worst fan fiction of
all time.
I never heard of it until youexplained it earlier.

(22:06):
It's ridiculous it's a wholenew world.
Yeah, all these possibilities,yeah, so, but yeah, I'll be
excited to see Manicold and howthey change it to be published
because, like Ali Hazelwood whodid Bride, bride isn't a fan
fiction but one of her firstbooks.

(22:29):
The love hypothesis wasoriginally fan fiction and she
just changed the characters,names and stuff yeah so, but if
you've read her fan fiction, youcan definitely see the Star
Wars influence in it.
So it'll just be interesting tosee how, when you read this
versus like the published onenext year, to see how she
changes the story so that it'sbecause it can't be too much
like the characters.
Yeah, like an infringement,right, right, do you?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
think it will lose some of its magic, like by
having to change so much and Idon't know because you have to
you kind of now, at this point,where you're in the harry potter
world right now you have, shehas to create her own yeah world
and it's yeah and that's why Ithink people want to read
Manicold it's kind of what Iwant to read, yeah, just because

(23:12):
,

Speaker 1 (23:12):
it's harry potter and that's my fan fiction is so
great.
Yeah, one of my favorite series.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Probably is my favorite series of all time um,
yeah do you think it'll lose.
It depends how good she is.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
I guess because like with Ali's book, it didn't lose
anything.
Um, I think this will be a lotharder, though, because it's
gonna be like because she'skeeping the story like a stole,
it's like a war story and allthis stuff.
So it's like is she gonna keepmagic in it?
And another author who did likethe hurricane wars, who was a
star wars writer she's anamazing fantasy writer, but she

(23:47):
kept all the magic and likestuff in it, but she had to
change the whole like fantasysystem, so that was different
and she did great so forhurricane wars.
It was great, yeah, so hopefullythis one, so I'm interested in
what you both would say to.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
So you both love harry potter.
You read manacold, but youstill love harry potter, so I'm
gonna call my wife out right nowshe doesn't want to read
manacold because she loves harrypotter and she feels like that
will ruin some of the.
I guess the magic for just likeloving harry potter no, you'll
like it better than harry potter.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Fiend fiction literally fiend fiction
literally fixes things that thestories get wrong in the books,
I feel like.
So I just think of them as twoseparate things.
I love the series, but I grewwith sacey.
I think fiend fiction fixes alot of things.
For me that doesn't make sense,like I don't think it makes
sense that harry and her moneydidn't end up together.

(24:43):
I just will die on this hill.
I know everybody loves her anddrako and fanfiction.
I like it, fanfiction too, butthey're just stuff in the books
they didn't really like, but Istill love it.
I still love that.
It's all my favorite series,just like.
I think fan fiction isdifferent, though, just like,
yeah, but I mean and it's noteven just like I mean especially
the Harry Potter fan fiction.
I think that some of thecharacters it expands on more.

(25:05):
So you like characters who havesmall roles, like Pansy is huge
in fan fiction and she's myfavorite fan fiction yeah.
But in like Cannon and HarryPotter, her she's so her role so
small, it's so one dimensional,she's like this snotty,
whatever.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah you don't really see a lot.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
But Pansy and fan fiction is like has a huge long
in pockets.
Like one of the best in fiction.
She's they write her a lot withlike Neville long bottom.
It's great.
So I think, or, harry, I thinkshe would really like it.
There's.
I mean yeah, because you canthink of it as two different
things.
But sometimes I'm just like,well, this was better.
Like there are some fanfictions that I've read there

(25:44):
like an eighth year fic thathappens after the war in Harry
Potter, and like, well, this isway better than how they ended
it in the series and stuff.
So we should get her like areally fun fan fiction, like
user, into it, like like all theright things, or well, all the
right things is great, that's agreat one you got to start with.

(26:05):
Yeah, that's happy.
I really I always recommendlike there's one called
isolation of people like HarryPotter, and it starts.
It literally picks up where thesix book ends, on the astronomy
tower and it's amazing.
And it's instead of Dracorunning off with Snape, he gets
stuck with Hermione and Hermionedoesn't go with them at first

(26:26):
to hunt her crux and she's acastle.
I haven't read this though.
That one I literally it's likeone of the first ones I started
reading when I came back in thefan fiction and I truly believe
that it was a better seventhbook than what you can rally.
Wrote it like fixed everything.
It's literally like very muchlike side by side with the other
one.
And then there's another onecalled the Disappearances of
Draco Malfoy, and it's the samething.

(26:47):
It ends with the astronomytower scene.
But instead of him going offwith Snape, he goes with the
three of them, and they all fourgo to work together.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
These are all pretty popular in the fiction world, so
interesting.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, the dynamic is funny between Harry Draco and
Ron.
It's great.
There's like it's so comedic,but their characters are funny
together.
Yeah, I think she'd like it sheshould we'll, we'll, we'll
fight, we'll come up with like asmall one that she are just
like a fun one.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
That would be a part of it too is that Manacal, at
least from what I heard or read,is like it's a darker.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, you definitely try fiction.
Check trigger warnings withthat one.
Did you watch the Handmaid'sTale?
Oh yeah, I read it yeah it'sthe Handmaid's Tale and Harry
Potter mixed together, right?
Yeah, no one told Ashley thatwhen she started I think I told
Cole already I take a threemonth break from it.
After I read a certain scene, Ijust like closed it and set on
my nightstand for three monthsbefore I could like get back

(27:47):
into it.
Yeah, but which being you knowwe should have some get to know
you.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Questions for Cole.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah we just get excited to talk about books.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, and we haven't talked about fanfiction in a
while.
Yeah, we haven't ever since.
Yeah, we did the Coloxl didColoxl did all the photos for
our rebrand.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, and the little reel thatwe put together as well yeah,
he's an amazing photographer.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
He did my engagement photos and my wedding photos.
Yeah, it was so fun.
Your wedding photos are great,but your engagement photos were
beautiful.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I know I love the engagement photos.
That was great.
Get the bottle of champagne andthe Harry Potter glasses.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
That was so great, I still have those glasses.
Yeah, that's really great.
They're actually up on mywebsite.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, I love those.
So if you wanted to go, see it.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
You can check out my website and you can look at
Stacy's engagement photos.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I know everyone jokes around when they see those
photos and they're like you talkabout Draco mouth when all
these blond men so much.
And then Pia is a redhead, it'sso pale, it's so pale.
You married a brawn.
I know he doesn't act likebrawn, but he does have fiery
temper.
That's a redhead thing.
But yeah, so Col's amazingphotographer.

(29:02):
He's also a pharmacist, so he'ssuper smart.
Nurses get to bug them all day.
Okay, I got to tell the storyabout the first time I met Cole
when I started working at the VA.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Do I know the story?
Yeah, I don't know.
Do I know the story?
It's one of my favorite ones.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Okay, so I work with Cole.
He's a pharmacist in theemergency room where I work, and
this was a long time ago, likefive years ago, I think.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
And.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I forget what I was asking you.
I didn't really know you at thetime.
I came to ask him a questionabout a medication and he's
telling me about it, and that's.
You start talking about him,like oh, he's really smart, like
he's just like pulling us outof the set, and then you start
writing notes.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
He sounds so much better than I am.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
No he starts writing these notes out and I'm just
like, oh, that's interesting.
He starts drawing like thechemical, like drawing like with
the circles and the lines youknow talking about for chemistry
.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
And I was literally like.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I have no idea what this is Like.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I'm a little bit nerdy or back, then I don't feel
like I would do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yes, you would have a story after it was so great I
was drawing aromatic rings andtelling you to explain something
.
I was just like I barely passedbasic chemistry in college,
like barely like.
You know what I mean.
Like I had to retake it once andI was just like he must think
I'm really smart, because I haveno idea what this is, and I

(30:15):
instantly knew I was like he'sgonna be great to hang out with
you kind of did this when wewere hanging out one day this
was a while ago when we gottacos at this place down the
street here and then we went tothe bar and we had like a
margarita and I mean like Iwasn't drunk or anything, but I
had a couple I wasn't drunk, Iwas just really tipsy and I had

(30:36):
like made some joke or somethingabout Molly, because we were
talking about Katie goes toRaves and sometimes and you were
describing like breaking downwhy you would never do this.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, I probably did.
I'm way more of a nerd than Ithink.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I thought and I just remember thinking I will never
do Molly, You've killed drugsfor me I was just talking about,
like the dopamine andserotonergic release.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Oh dear God, I can't believe I did that.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
No, I think Ashley told me I was like wow, I'll
never do.
Molly, that sounds terrible.
I'm totally not worth the gainof the beginning of it.
We love nerds on this spot.
Yeah, like Ashley can talk.
When I went to see the firstdude movie with Ashley, she'd
already seen it like at leastonce or twice.
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, the first movie , great, I think it.
What I think on Run Tomatoes?
It got like a.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
it didn't get great reviews.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I can't, I don't want to say it because I can't
remember, but the newest one islike 95.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
But I think it's gone up even I think it's like 96.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
And yeah, but I still love the first one, and even
I've listened to the soundtrackover and over really, I haven't
seen the second one either it'son my, it's on my list.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
But yeah, it's like the first dude amazing.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Can't wait to see the second dude.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Well, when we went to see it, I finally went to see
with Ashley.
I need you to understand coolthe whole, because she's read
all the books.
She's like really obsessed withit.
For some reason You've read allthe books, what she's like
they're slow obsessed with thatthe originals.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Oh, the originals, yeah, not the his son.
The main, yeah, the main writerthe son is Frank Herbert.
Yes, yeah, you're right,because he dies and writing the
second or third book.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I thought he wrote more than that.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Did he I'll have to check.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I think he wrote the first five first five Okay
didn't his son like finish one?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
or something.
He's still writing them, Ithink picked them up.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know, but actually I spent the theater for two and
a half hours literally breakingdown everything in detail what's
happening, and I loved itbecause I didn't watch any of
the old movies, I hadn't seenany of them, I didn't know
anything that happened, so, like, I went into it completely
blind.
And then here's actually likeand this is this and this is
this, and this means this, andthis is exciting, because at
least this is this.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
So, after reading the books, how do you feel?
Like you've only seen the firstmovie.
I saw the second one on Friday.
So how she?

Speaker 1 (32:53):
didn't get the popcorn bucket and I'm very
disappointed.
Yeah, I'm so disappointed,thank, you Cool, you need it.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's the reason you go.
You get the popcorn I can't eatpopcorn right now.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
She already broke a bracket.
I didn't meant.
Chanel already braided me onyour podcast about it.
Shoot, I wasn't.
The issue was is that I hadbeen eating men's.
I wasn't chewing them, I justsucking on them.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Well, I think any guy would tell you you could still
get the popcorn bucket.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
For the aesthetic reasons.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, exactly For the aesthetic reasons.
Yeah, yeah, it's like so funny.
Object of decor to just havearound the house, you know
didn't get it.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
You could put it on your bookshelf.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, you could put other things in the bucket you
know what else Flowers flowers.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
You really class it up, you can use it as be a nice
base.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
You're right, Stacy Like a giant butthole, but we
can put flowers.
It does look like a class.
Church it up, Church it up.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
I think they knew what they were doing, Like I
think everybody everybody's likeoh haha.
Like, look at this bucket, Ican't believe like some
marketing team came up with this, but I think the marketing team
was genius.
Yeah, because that's everywhereon Reddit.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
That's, everyone talks about everybody's body
just because of that.
Yeah, t shirts about thepopcorn bucket.
Yeah, people knew what theywere doing.
But yeah, we love nerds on thispodcast, the nerdy or the
better.
I mean, just look at me, I goteveryone in our department
reading fanfiction.
That's true.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Stacy, I think is the leader of our e yeah of
emergency department like interms of like what people should
read, like.
But you're pretty good, I thinkand I would say this is true
even just with like movies orseries, like whenever we would
sit down and talk, and I thinkyou're pretty good at figuring

(34:43):
out what people would like,because every time you'd be like
, oh, I just watched this series, like oh, you wouldn't really
like that one, but this otherseries you would love.
And every time you said youwould love this series, I love
that series.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
That makes me so happy so.
I feel like you're pretty goodat that's a talent.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, I like reading people and figuring out what
they would like.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
So, yeah, you've been a bit.
You have been a big influenceon the department and now
there's the book club.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
book club is started, which you're not leading, but I
wish I'd be a part of it more,but they read separate books and
so then I just feel like Ican't.
I'll have you know.
Like you know how, ashley saidshe's reading three books
earlier.
So I'm reading bride right now,I'm still reading throne of
glass and I've been reading thisKendall unlimited book series
on my phone at the same time.
So like I'm also read, so Itold one of the girls at work I

(35:31):
was like I cannot commit toanything else Because it'll kill
me.
No, more.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
But I think there's.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
There's like eight or nine people now.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, it's really cool.
The club so that's fun, yeah,and they're doing a sci fi book
this month.
They're doing that Hail Marybook, the guy who wrote the
Martian oh yeah, the Martian.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, the one that in the movie Matt Damon.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah it plays the movie.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Oh, great movie.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I know people love it .
I haven't seen it.
I like Matt Damon.
Yeah, a lot of suspense dramaMars.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
That's like psychology, like you know
because he's alone.
Yeah, he's all alone and he hasto figure all the stuff out to
stay alive.
And it's really cool Likeyou're rooting for him the whole
time.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, the movie.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
It's really, it's really cool.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, it's your list of things.
I have to finish.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
I've said I never read that book, I feel like that
would be a good book.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I have the Hail Mary book that they're reading.
I used to not read.
I mean, I have so many booksthat I haven't read, then I just
keep buying more books that Ido read and it's a bad circle
problem.
Never is Well speaking of whatis your favorite book Cole.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh my God, my favorite book of all time is
actually.
This is really funny becauselike just bought it.
It's.
It's actually a kid's book, butit's.
I think it's like one of thosenostalgic things.
For me it's Mrs Frisbee and theRats of Nim, and this is going
to be.
This is going to sound prettynerdy, but did you guys have
like AR I can't remember whatit's called like in school,

(37:05):
where you would read a book forlike a certain number of points?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh, yeah, stacey, like won the contest.
Yeah, I read the most books ofall my school.
Oh my God, this is so funny.
Of course you would.
I single handed you weredestined to have your own
podcast because yeah, that's sofunny, so that's so.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I was like I do know what AR is and I do know that I
read a lot of books I haven'theard of that book, so yeah, so
AR and I think, mrs Frisbee, Ithink I read it when I was like
in third grade, because I thinkthat's when our school like,
that's when you could start.
It was like in third grade andusually I think teachers use it

(37:41):
for, like you get so many pointsand then you get some kind of
reward, and our reward at schoolwas that I think once you got
to 50 points, you could.
It is so, so weird, but theywould set up this table.
It was still in the cafeteriabut it was way off to the side
where you got to choose anybodyin your class to go and like sit

(38:04):
at the separate table for twoand you got your own like
separate lunch.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
It wasn't just like your tray lunch Like you got
like actually good food, which Idon't know what it even was.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
But, yeah, so like chose my best friend, scott, and
me and Scott, you know we gotto eat lunch by ourselves in the
corner with, like they even had, candles, it sounds kind of
romantic.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
But when you're in third grade you're like this is
so cool.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Like I'm just eating, you know, lunch with my best
friend.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Everyone's joy.
And yeah, I can see everybodyover there.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
They're just at the crappy little tables, and
they're crappy little chairs andwe get this nice wooden table.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
They're either square pizzas, government cheese, I
remember.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I think so.
Third grade.
That was when I read the firstHarry Potter book which was
worth a decent amount of points.
And I remember I wasn't reallylike looking for, like, oh, I
might like this book, might likethis book.
I was looking at points becauseI was like oh, if I read one
more book and I could get enoughpoints to have my 50 points,
and then I could get my lunchwith my best friend, you know,

(39:06):
and so I saw.
I can't remember how many pointsit was worth.
I'm just going to make it upand say like it was 14.
So I saw it.
I was like, oh, this book's 14.
So I just grabbed it and Istarted reading it and I loved
it.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, it's, uh, it's to not spoil anything, because I
think it's a really good bookin general, but it's about this
family of mice where one of themice is really sick, and there's
also this other story going onwith these lab rats that have

(39:38):
essentially been bred until theyget smarter and smarter and
smarter, until they become likesentient like sentient rats and
uh.
It's a very interesting storyto uh to.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Read and as it unfolds?
Yeah, it's it's probably myfavorite book of all time.
Have you reread it as an adultthen?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
You know, I just bought it because I was like I'm
also, I really want to startLike my own collection of books.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I know, people collect everything you know.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
But I think I want to be like a collector of books
and you should add theirtrophies.
Yeah, like Katie, my uh, my nowwife, her, her uncle has always
bought her books for likebirthdays, christmas and they're
like.
The I don't know what you wouldcall it like the higher level

(40:29):
of edition of books.
They're all like slipcases likespecial edition.
Yes, but they're all likewell-renowned books, like he's
gotten us grapes of wrap and.
Dracula and um All these, likeyou know, classic classic books.
That everybody should read, likehe's always gotten those, and
so I also would like to startcollecting books so that we just

(40:50):
have this like awesome library,you know there's, they make so
many beautiful editions of books.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Uh, theo laughs at me and actually kind of laughs too
, but I have like six editionsof Cersei Because that's my
favorite book and so anytimethere's like.
It was so funny because, liketwo weeks ago so there was this
special argentinian like editionof Cersei with painted edges,
he did not buy another one.
Theo saw me on my phone.
He goes you are not orderinganother one of that same book.

(41:16):
And I was like but look, it'sblue and like the edges are
sprayed and it's in a differentlanguage.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
It is nice, I would.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
So no, I think having books are great like especially
the cool special editions and.
Going back to like books youread when you're kids.
That was me reading.
Series of unfortunate events.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Like I love that.
Oh, you were obsessed with that.
It's like when you're young,like that gets you a lot of a
our points.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
If you read a series of unfortunate events, I
remember that yeah they're big.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
I never read those.
Yeah, they're great.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Let me sneak it.
Yeah, they're great.
That's not his real name,that's his like writer name.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I don't know what his real name is, but that's
another reason I like so much islike a kid in middle school and
stuff is because he just wrotebooks for like kids that were a
little more serious than likenecessary, you know, and they're
very they're like funny, butit's like there's a lot of
suspense because, there's.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
In like many like 12.
Yeah, there's 12 of them.
12 of them.
Yeah, yeah, and there was onemovie Jim Carrey was the he was
old.
Oh, it's Olaf, I think it is.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Olaf.
Yeah, I must have said no, it'snot Olaf, but it is.
Yeah, it was good.
There was a series, though, too, where it was.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Neil Patrick.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Harris, but they cancelled it halfway through and
it was a really good I canimagine I mean it was really
good the the movie I thought wasactually pretty good, it does
the first three books in onemovie.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Um, but the books are very, very good and I think
most like young teens.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Adolescents would.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Would really like them.
I love them.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
I just like, but I just love books.
I have like that nostalgicfeeling when you read them.
Yeah, and also we got subwayfor our a, our points.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Oh, nice, yeah, that's, great.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Do you remember you got to eat in the library and
you got to eat subway.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Oh, that's great.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Oh, it was amazing.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
I love that other people have these experiences,
that it was like the subwayparty sub and it was just like
all these other nerdy kids andwe're like, yeah, we're at
subway the library, everyoneelse has to eat the cafeteria.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
today it was really great.
I don't think I ever got a lotof points to do that.
I don't know why I didn't readlike that.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
But it sounds fun.
A subway party would have beenfun.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
But it's just funny because when me and Theo first
moved in together we were likeputting stuff up in the garage
and he was like a swimmer inhigh school and play like
basketball and all this stuffand I'll only sports trophies
and then I had like one smalltoe of like stuff from school
and it was like all readingawards.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
He had a bunch of plaques.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
I had a bunch of plaques, yeah, and I was.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
He was like you're such a nerd.
I was like I know, yeah, I loveit.
That's a good favorite book.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah, I know that yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Oh, sorry, my dream was unwinded.
I can't believe so easily now,when I talk too much or get
excited, it's a pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, how far along 30 weeks.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Oh my god, amazing.
Okay, what's your favorite?
If you had to pick between, Ifeel like you're gonna pick
Harry Potter, but Harry Potter,star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
What's your favorite fantasyworld?
Do you think yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Harry Potter, and I think it's because it's so fun
like looking back.
When I read Lord of the Rings,I was.
I read the first book in highschool Then.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I finished it and like the song.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I read one book each summer of college.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
But they're not.
Lord of the Rings is not aneasy read.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
No, it is.
It is a long.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I've heard that like churn sometimes.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Like I just remember, like there's like one chapter
where he's like talking aboutAbout a tree, you know, and it's
like just describing the treeand you're like, oh my gosh,
like.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I'm ready for the action again, yeah yeah, and so
I love it.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
like you know, once it's all like said and done,
you're like, wow, like that wasamazing, like he's such a good
writer and he uses words in waysit's just like wow, this guy's
like a wordsmith.
His vocabulary, you know,exceeds most writers like way
beyond you know, and.
I think Harry Potter is justlike you.

(45:07):
It's a book you never want toput down, like sometimes reading
Lord of the Rings.
You get bored.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
You're like okay, I'm ready for something else, you
know, and then Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I've never actually read the books, but I love the
movies yeah the movies are sogood, um, but I think also
growing up with the characterslike we're literally the same
age.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
It's like the nostalgia yeah, it's like I grew
up with them.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
They're like my friends.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
We're like literally the same age, just the cast and
everything.
Now still, oh yeah, and youalways like yeah, you're like
when am I gonna get?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
my letter, you know, to Hogwarts.
Like I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
I can remember getting the book at midnight
with my mom at Walmart.
Do you remember?
Mom put us a Walmart atmidnight to get the fifth book.
Do you remember when the firstbook came out, our teacher read
it to our Class.
Yeah, uh-huh, that was amazingbecause we were, I remember
preordering the seventh book andyeah, at Barnes and Noble.
I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, I can't remember what it was at the time
, how much it was, but it wasn'tfrom a rich family or anything,
but I remember my mom beinglike well, why don't you just
get it like when it gets to thelibrary?
You know it was probably, likeyou know, $30.
Yeah, but I'm like you don'tunderstand, mom.
I have to have this book.
I need to read it first.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I gotta read it before someone tells me what
happens in the end.
That happened to Stacy.
One of my friends told me theend of what happened with
Dumbledore in the sixth bookbefore I finished it.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
It's like it burned in my brain.
I'll never forget how mad youare.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
And then I read the last book and I'll never forget.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
like nine hours I stood up all night reading
because I was like no one isreading this for me.
Yeah, I think I had it.
Yeah, I think I'd read thewhole thing like within a week,
like the seventh book.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Stacy, remember we went to all the midnight release
things for twilight at Barnesand Noble.
Oh yeah, there's like midnightrelease parties for the books.
We're so cool.
Yeah, we were.
We're the coolest.
I had a shirt.
This said stupid Liam.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah, for part, for part one.
I remember Going to themidnight show.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, I think it's one of the only midnight
showings that I've actually beento we went to every single
Harry Potter midnight showingyes, we did all eight of them.
When we were in middle school,our group of friends, do you
remember?
This week to rake leaves for,and at like 12 hours one
saturday.
We raked leaves all day to payfor.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Tickets and pizza and our parents took us.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yeah, because we also didn't come from like some rich
family.
My mom is like no, she's likeyou can go like make, which is
fine.
Like we did it.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
I mean all of our friends are like five of us,
right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it was like the most hardwork for piece of pizza ever.
Yeah, harry Potter was worth it.
I'm so worried.
Yeah, that's all thesenostalgic memories I know right.
Yeah, you're such a good soul,yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Yeah, yeah.
So Harry Potter, yeah.
Final answer Harry Potter, yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
So, since the book this month is about werewolves
and vampires, what do you likebetter, werewolves or vampires?
If you could be one, which onewould you be?

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, I think vampires are so cool, like I
love.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I love vampires.
Yeah, I would, yeah, I wouldinevitably choose the vampire.
She's literally like.
I wish I was on a mic right now.
She's a werewolf?

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Yeah, and I just I said even like we have the book
Dracula.
I've never read Dracula, so Ineed to.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
I read it recently.
I need to read that, yeah, andit's an old, it's an older book.
Like it's a little sexist butit's good.
It's scary it is, but I meanit's look at when it was written
yeah, it's four at the time.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Have you ever seen the movie what we do in the
shadows?

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Yes, you watch the show.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I've never seen the show.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
It's just as good as like Dairy Girls.
It is just like.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Matiti, yeah, I get that right.
Yes, it's, it's him, and it'sso funny.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Yeah, tv shows a masterpiece, If you think the
shows, if you think the movies,I think the movies.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
I love the movie the show is literally 10 times
better than the movie and Idon't think I had seen it like
on like a reddit, like list oflike Movies you've never heard
of but are actually like greatincredible, yeah, and it was
because it was like an indie.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Movie right, like it, I don't was it in theaters?
I don't think so if it wasn'ttheaters, it didn't get a lot of
press but, it's an at least

Speaker 2 (49:19):
10 years.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
It's, it's definitely .
Yeah, it's at least 10 yearsprobably.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
But so clever, like love the movie and it's kind of
like you know, if vampires wereactually real in today's world,
like how would they be?
Like they probably like want togo out and go clubbing and you
know like be a part of the wholeyeah.
Be a part of like society butlike, yeah, maybe have like a
human friend as well.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
And that's what's so funny.
That's what the TV shows about.
Literally the whole firstepisode is just like yeah, we
came to America to take it overlike 400 years ago, and it's
just them living in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Hang it out, just chill it.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
You would, yeah, with the type of shows you like, you
have such good taste, you would.
You'll watch it.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
And, oh my god, it makes me think that that made me
I think you know twilight likeyou know, uh, especially with
the movies Mm-hmm, a lot ofpeople didn't like it like
People love the books but a lotof people didn't like the, the
movies and everything.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
But what we do in the shadows was like a big redeemer
for vampires.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
It was great.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Yeah, that's a great one.
I recently watched Um.
Did you know that EddieMurphy's a vampire?
Vampires in berkland here we go.
Yeah, they've never heard ofthat.
Angela bassets in it, I haveheard of it.
Yeah, so that was a vampiremovie I watched recently with
theo and actually didn't believeme that Eddie Murphy's a
vampire and it's just great.
He's just like really great.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
I imagine he.
Yeah, imagine he's hilarious,everything he's in, yeah, funny.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
So that's great.
Um, I'm a vampire girl, so Imean I like werewolves.
You want numbered?

Speaker 2 (50:55):
your werewolf girl?
No, she's no.
Chanel is the only one.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
She's on a little Loan deserted, deserted island,
all alone with her you know thisbook, bride.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I'm liking them more.
Yeah, I like how Ali rides herwerewolves.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
I do like the aspect of like fates or mates are
really big with werewolves.
I like that a whole lot.
But Excuse me, sorry, cut thatout.
You couldn't even hear anything, you just drew attention to it.
I don't know, I'm embarrassed.
Um but I, I don't know.
I like werewolves, I like theshifting thing, but I think it'd
be cool if you could shift intosomething more than just a

(51:28):
werewolf, like maybe that'd becooler than being a vampire,
like being a shifter.
But why would you want to shiftinto a safe?

Speaker 2 (51:33):
like Tamlin.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah like.
Tamlin's powers really fuckingcool.
I don't like a bird.
I don't know.
Have you seen the tiktok goingaround with people that are like
I can't wait for the akatarseries to come out?
And all these people who'venever read the book get like a
tamlin tattoo after the first?

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Oh yeah, I see.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Later, oh my gosh.
It's so true though, supposedlybecause Hulu was supposed to
make a series for akatar and itgot dropped, but I've heard that
, like HBO is trying to pick itup?

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Yeah, it'd be a great HBO one, because HBO always
Kind of gives to that line.
Yeah, of like a little morenudity, more colorful language.
You know I mean hell if theycan do euphoria, I feel like you
can do about anything.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah, yeah, I'm here for the nudity.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
I love euphoria by the way, that's a good show.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Oh, it's off the rails very dark.
Yeah, that is off the rails.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
If you're a happy, bubbly, cheery person.
Yeah that's Not one.
I would advise you watching.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah, it's just like a train wreck the whole time.
But, I was just like we.
I had a very different kind ofhigh school experience that
these kids had.
I think everybody did.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
I think you know it's portrayed as like oh, this is
like the mainstream.
High school experience but no,like I think we, you know, even
going to like a small countryschool, like you knew, like some
of that happened, like in thefray, yeah, you know, but that
is, that was not mainstream.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
That was not yeah, everybody's experience.
So I see Sam for nine hoursreading Harry Potter and high
school.
Look at all these parties doingdrugs and you're just like
having the best time of theirlives.
It's me sitting in my bed withlike my Ninja.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Turtle blanket written.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Harry Potter.
It's a 17 year old.
It's fine.
Okay, can we have any morequestions?
To get to Nicole, what?

Speaker 2 (53:20):
do we usually ask.
Well, I will say I like aboutlike reading and stuff I so for
in the world of pharmacy.
If you want to specialize inany like one, like specialty,
you know.
So for me, emergency medicine,but there's, like you know,
intensive care, pediatriconcology.

(53:41):
If you want to have your ownspecialty you need to do two
years of residency whichresidency very similar to like
medical residency, where you'redoing a research project and you
rotate between all of thespecialties to just kind of get
like a fast-paced learningintroduction to healthcare.
And so I did two years ofresidency and because you're

(54:01):
working so hard and it's likethere's never not a night where
you can get home and just relax,you're like you know your
preceptor's giving you somestudy you need to read and or
you have some kind ofpresentation or some kind of
like research thing to work on.
I after so through residencyand then afterwards, probably

(54:22):
like three years into my career,like I did not read any books.
So it's really only for the lasttwo two and a half years now
where I've gotten back intoreading and I love it, because I
used to read a lot beforeresidency and even in college.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
It kind of falls off but I think it does for most
people you know you're.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
You got a lot of work to do but residency really
killed it for me so it's finallycoming back and now I feel like
I'm diving in and getting a lot, getting really into reading
again and yeah, like I said, I'mcollecting more books now and
it's really exciting.
So that's kind of my readinghistory.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I love it, though, but I think reading is getting
such like a more like popularpositive thing right now too,
with social media and stuff, andthere's just so many good
series and books out there rightnow, yeah, but I don't think I
read anything in nursing school.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
hardly at all, I will say I think like TikTok and
Reels, like as much as you wantto hate them, for you know
sucking people's time and youcan do the death scroll, but you
do you see a lot of like bookrelated things and then you're
kind of like oh, like I want toread that.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
And I kind of like that you know, social media has
stimulated more reading yeah ormade it more mainstream, maybe
that's why I wanted to readAcotar.
Yes, everything that I'd seenon TikTok about it and people
were obsessed with it yeah,honestly, I think that's how I
heard about it too was everyonewas talking about it on social
media and I was like well, Ishould probably read this.

(55:53):
It's great.
It's my favorite series rightnow.
Just wait till you pass morethan the second book.
You know I will say when I wasin nursing school, I reread the
entire Harry Potter series, so Iwas so stressed out all the
time.
But yeah, I remember that youdid that.
Did you just read some of themrecently too?
Yeah, yeah, I haven't read themin a long time.

(56:14):
It's been like on my list ofthings, but then my list is so
long, so who knows?

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Yeah, I've heard the audiobooks are really good.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Excellent 10 out of 10.
Oh, that's how you did it.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Right yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Audio books.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
I not in nursing school, but recently I've been
re listening to them onaudiobook.
So good yeah, our friend Danny,he listens to it all the time.
Hold us in his car listening torandom Harry Potter books.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yeah, especially, you are like our age and grew up on
we mean really young, yeah,super young.
We're actually going to be 35this week.
Little babies, little freshbabies out in the world.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
But how do you?

Speaker 2 (56:53):
feel about the series that's going to be coming out.
Are you nervous, excited?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
I'm intrigued.
I mean, obviously I'm going towatch it.
I feel like we're all a littleon edge, though, yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Because we don't.
We love the movies, Mm-hmm.
We love the books.
I feel like we don't want thatto be ruined.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I feel like they could have done like a Marauder
series or something why?
Won't they do Marauders, whichwould have been interesting,
because the story is so loosewith that, like you just know
how it ends.
They could do so much with it.
I was sad.
I was hoping that's what theywere going to announce, plus
like the 70s, it would have beengreat.
I think it'll be good.

(57:29):
Yeah, I was just talking to ourfriend Miguel, his girlfriend
Lindsay they were, we just did abonus episode with them, but
she said that she was readingthat right now they're trying to
find the showrunner for theseries and they're having, I
guess it's three differentpeople they've narrowed it down
to and they're all writing thefirst, like two episodes, and
then they're going to pick.
That's cool.
That's a cool way to do it,interesting.

(57:50):
Yeah, and I heard Tom Felton'sgoing to be in the series.
Yeah, I heard he's going to beoutlooshes.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
And it's going to be every season is its own book.
I wonder how that'll go because, like you, know their kids and
at least like with the movies,they they did it like basically
subsequently, year after year.
But a season takes a long time.
I wonder if they'll be able toturn them out or if it'll be

(58:15):
like Stranger Things, wherethose kids are like 40 now I
know.
So it's just like high schoolRight.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Yeah, they'll definitely have to once they
like figured all out, like go,go, go.
I feel like it'll have to belike a.
It's kind of like I thinkAvatar.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Aren't they doing that?
They're like yeah, they'vealready, like I don't know if
they've finished filming for thefirst season.
Oh the oh, you're talkingairbender.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
I was talking about the movie.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Avatar.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Yeah, so the movie Avatar, I think like they, as
soon as they finished the secondin movie, they immediately
started on to the third, so thatthe kids weren't too old, yeah
Because they didn't want thethere's.
I think they've even said likethe Stranger Things effect, like
that.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Quotes yeah, because it's true, they do look so old
now, it's true?
Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
But okay, but yeah, to go to your airbender.
So my wife and I just finishedthe live action series of that
which I think favorite animatedseries of all time.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
It's so great, I think.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Avatar the last airbender.
I've never seen it.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
It's good.
I know people love it, it's sogood, ashley, you have to watch
it.
I think you would really likeit.
I probably would.
She now loves it yeah it's.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
It's so good I mean it's like it's a kid's show, but
it's also I feel like it isalso made for adults.
Yeah, it's pretty deep, youknow yeah, it's very deep, it
handles you know, some like deeptopics, while keeping it fairly
light and funny.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Yeah exactly, it holds your attention.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
The character development, like the arcs on
all the characters areperfection, like chef's kids.
So the anime series all timefavorite and I think whenever
you take some and all threeseasons have 100% on Rotten
Tomatoes.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
And I think they ended.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
They ended it at a perfect time.
It's like we were talking aboutFleabag before we started
recording like Fleabag perfect,perfect they finished right when
they needed to like.
It's still left you wantingmore which is the best time to
end it.
You're like, this is so great,I want more, but you love that
feeling you never go like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
it went on too long.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
They should be right, you don't even like yeah they
knew they knew how to stop it.
Yeah, they, and I think that'sanother one of my favorite, you
know many series it's yeah, twoseasons, but the live action for
Avatar and I think there therereally is like you can read
through, I don't know, likeTwitter threads or Reddit, you

(01:00:40):
know, subreddits regarding themovie and it has a lot of hate
and I think it's just becauseyou took a perfect series.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, and you're never going to.
Yeah, you're never going toachieve that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
And you know where you have like 20, some episodes
per season in the animatedseries, like you get eight
episodes in the live action, soyou just have to go so quick.
There's a lot that gets caughtout and I think, like Katara,
for instance, like you, reallylike the first season really
focuses on her, likewaterbending development and

(01:01:14):
like she has to overcome likesome, like psychology of like
her, like her fears orconfidence.
And she has a great arc evenjust in the first season, but
that really gets dropped yeahthey had to change it in the
live action.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
And then all of a sudden, you get to the like the
season finale and it's like howdid she become?

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
and she's so powerful , yeah, right, and she's like
whooping on these dudes and youlike, I love that, like build
and a character it just gotdropped because, especially in
the first season, when, like shewasn't allowed to do it and
like, like you said, it's likethis emotional, like blocker
stuff, it is hard, but it is waybetter than the movie, though.
Yeah, oh for sure, I've never.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
I've never even seen the movie.
I've heard terrible things,yeah people hated the movie and
so I never watched it.
But but the live action I meanfor what it is, it's not bad,
it's not bad, and I mean thesome of the characters that they
cast, like I thought Saka was avery, very good cast.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah, he's one of my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
He plays that character very well.
I think, Zuko I initially wasvery cautious of and I was like
ah, like I don't know, but hegrows on me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
He's my favorite character.
Yeah, he's.
He's great.
He's like the guy the bad boyredemption arc.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Yeah, like the firebreaker and I think Bunkle
is, I think he gets cast prettywell, I think he was great, but
I think Azula she that's whatTheo said to about that he
didn't like that either.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
He was huge into it too, so he he didn't like that
party there, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
I don't know if I like Azula the character or the
her the actress.
I don't know her name, but hesaid he said the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
He's like I just don't get.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
It doesn't look like yeah, yeah, she doesn't fit her,
I think because Azula in theanimated series is so evil and
she just looks evil yeah.
And the girl who plays Azula inthe live action just looks too
nice.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Like more annoyed.
She looks like annoyed withOkay yeah, but I like that they
picked it up for the next twoseasons, because I think they're
just going to film it back toback because they're young
characters.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
They are young.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
We don't want that stranger things effect.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Yeah, don't want the stranger things.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
Although I can't wait for the new season, they better
bring Eddie back 30 years old.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Read so much Eddie Munson and Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Perry Just read something.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
I don't know, I read something too, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
So, now that the writer's strike is over, I think
a lot of these shows that we'vekind of been waiting for will
get you for you, that's anotherone, like they got.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
I heard that they're having a hard time because now
all the actresses and actors areso famous.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
They don't know they can afford to have them on the
show.
Yeah, they've done a lot sincethen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Like what's her face?
Sweeney Sydney.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Sweeney, yeah, like how could she?

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):

the guy who plays Nate Jacobs.
