Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth season of Humans of James River.
(00:07):
Woo!
My name is Sarah Boger and I'm Katherine Ulrich.
And we are so happy to be your host this year.
Yeah, it's so exciting.
Welcome back.
If you've watched, been in tune with these for a while or welcomed in, if this is the
first one you've ever watched.
Today is just going to be, get to meet your host, a little introduction from us to you.
(00:31):
We have questions that we post on the Instagram and all of that.
So let's get into it.
A little bit about that.
You want to go first?
Yeah, sure.
So as I said before, I'm Katherine.
One of the main things that I do here is ethics goal, which is in direct correlation with
leadership.
We actually went to Nationals last year.
Go us.
Spirit Award.
(00:52):
We didn't win any round.
At least we got the Spirit Award.
But yeah, that's mostly what I'm involved in at the school.
And leadership, of course, love her.
Which is great.
But yeah.
All right.
Like I said, I'm Sarah Boger, just like to back up a little bit.
We're both seniors at James River.
(01:13):
We're a part of the leadership program, which is why we get to carry on this great capstone.
For me, I'm involved in, I play field hockey for James River since freshman year.
And I also play the cross for James River.
Part of a good amount of clubs here and there just for fun, you know.
(01:34):
Peace club.
That's still a thing.
That's still.
Or environmental club now.
Book club.
I don't know, like Latin club.
There's so many.
Fight ball club, ping pong club.
There's a million.
So if you're a freshman, keep your eyes out.
Join, if you have an interest, join anything.
(01:57):
Opportunities are endless.
Also, it is so easy to create a club here.
It really is.
You just need an advisor.
Exactly.
Give the teacher an literally whatever.
We have bingo club.
We have reddit club now.
We have reddit club.
Thank you Gabe.
Shout out to Gabe for making reddit club.
What do they have like Doritos Mountain?
Yeah, at the meeting next week.
(02:21):
That's next day.
Which will not be next Wednesday, but this is posted.
But it's okay.
All right.
Should we get into the questions?
I mean, I guess we can get into the questions.
All right.
So we posted a story on Instagram kind of just being like, oh, ask this, whatever you want to hear about.
What you want to know about us.
(02:42):
And we got some fun responses, some deep responses, questions, all types.
So I guess we'll go in order.
Why did both of y'all feel compelled to start this capstone?
Well, we're not starting.
Oh yeah, this prep is like, we're carrying this on.
Yeah, this is a legacy capstone.
(03:04):
Fifth year.
Fifth year.
It started by having a queue carried on every year since even through COVID.
It was brave.
I felt compelled to start this capstone or to continue this capstone.
The first time I heard about this capstone was my freshman year.
(03:26):
I was playing lacrosse for the first time ever.
And the senior lacrosse goalie at that time was Ireland Rogan who was doing the capstone at that time.
And she is just the sweetest human being possible.
She was also like kind of friends with my sister at that time.
So she like, I don't know, she was like, she was very welcoming to me on the team because I was very shy, a little freshman who had no clue how to play lacrosse.
(03:55):
And so she would like offer me rides and she was just so sweet.
And I would hear about her doing this capstone all the time.
Sometimes just like have to leave early for filming or stuff like that.
And I took an interest to it and I went on the Instagram, I remember.
And I listened to one of them and I was like, oh my gosh, this is so cool.
(04:16):
It's like a better way for me to understand my school and like everyone that comes along with it.
Because especially when like as freshmen entering the leadership program, you're not isolated.
Like I like it having a group of people to like keep with for the next four years.
It's like reliable and you feel comfortable.
(04:38):
But sometimes I feel that like I was a little too comfortable.
Like I didn't get to expand my border as well enough.
You know, you're you're putting classes that are different than other people's classes.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
I coincidentally also happened to find out about the podcast through Ireland.
(05:01):
She was my like leadership, she was in my like leadership thing.
She was a senior for my position.
She was like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
But yeah, every time we would have a meeting, she would give us a little bit of an update on like how her house was going and everything.
(05:25):
And I listened to a bit of her season when I had free time and everything like that.
And as a person who was coming from a school that is not close to James River or whatever, like I my home school is bird for anyone wondering.
And that's literally on the other side of the county.
(05:47):
So even with having this like great new support system with our leadership cohort, there was still kind of this like feeling of not necessarily isolation,
but just feeling a bit scared to kind of reach out to other people and kind of continue to like make that community stronger.
(06:09):
But humans with James River really helped me realize that like a lot of people feel the same way that I do.
And at the end of the day, the worst thing that can happen is somebody doesn't respond to your type.
So yeah, I didn't even realize like how hard that must have been coming in freshman year just online.
(06:30):
Like I mean I just knew that this is my home school technically.
Yeah, it was interesting. I mean I had Liam and I had Becca, but I've gone to school with Liam since elementary school.
But we never like knew each other that well. And Becca and I had like a couple mutual friends.
And we weren't super close, but we've grown closer. It's been years have continued and our force proximity has continued to make us.
(06:58):
Alright, next question. What is your favorite podcast?
And if you could have anyone on humans with James River, who would it be and why?
Alright, let's break up. What's your favorite podcast? Do you listen to podcasts?
I listen to podcasts some of the time. I have really bad like insomnia. I cannot sleep ever.
(07:20):
So a lot of the time I'll listen to like sleep podcasts. There's this one I do for the life of me. I can't remember the name.
But this guy would just talk about like boring things like in his own words.
Like that is what he said. He's like, let me talk about all this boring stuff.
You guys will go to sleep. I remember he would talk about his cat and his girlfriend and then like other stuff.
(07:47):
And his voice is just very soothing. So I'll fall asleep to that sometimes.
I agree with that. When I was little I would have to like I would play YouTube videos on my phone like next to my phone to fall asleep.
It was bad. Like I was like 10 at the point.
No, I did that too but with the mom of me. Like the movie like I had a Hello Kitty DVD radio player.
(08:14):
Oh my gosh, wait. I feel like I had something on there.
And I would put that in there and I would listen to it.
That's amazing.
Thank you for helping me sleep when I was younger.
I wouldn't have died without you.
Literally. Why not?
(08:36):
I don't know if I have a bigger podcast either.
I've explored a lot of different things but I have trouble with commitment.
When it comes to podcasts or shows or anything I watch like three episodes. Like oh wow this is so cool and I'll never watch it again.
The weirdest thing is I've finished almost all seasons of Grey's Anatomy which is like crazy.
(09:00):
Grey's Anatomy?
Yeah, oh my gosh.
That's the one thing I can't do.
Like 20 seasons long?
Yeah, actually no I think I quit at like 15.
That was big.
That was my limit.
But if any, I have listened to a couple influencer podcasts because they're becoming more relevant and popping up all the time.
(09:24):
I think Emma Chamberlain maybe?
Yes, I love Emma Chamberlain.
I group a lot with YouTubers.
Yeah, the beauty community.
Oh my gosh.
I love that.
Those girls raised.
I don't know.
Did you ever watch Seven Supergirls?
Is that weird?
Yes!
(09:45):
Oh my gosh, I love them.
Seven Supergirls.
Like there was specifically this like these two I cannot remember.
Sisters?
I don't think they were sisters.
One of them, she has like a really big following on like TikTok now.
And then the other one, I think her name starts with like an R or something.
(10:06):
The first one like her with an M?
I don't know.
What's that about this one?
Yeah, I love those.
Oh, I thought yeah, I think I also listened to like some crime podcasts.
Yes.
I listened to those with my mom in my car.
I listened to like one, but I also had like a criminal mind space over.
(10:30):
Oh, me too.
I had that over quarantine.
And I remember I got so paranoid.
I started locking my door at night.
I like slept with a hammer underneath my bedside table.
A hammer?
A hammer.
Oh my gosh.
No, once I walked in from like walking my dog and like I was home alone.
And I go to use my down three bathroom.
(10:52):
It was locked.
I was like, oh my god, a murderer?
I'm unlocked.
It's so, it's locked.
It's gonna kill me.
And so I, um, and so I like called my mom and said, you need to come on now.
And she was like, I'm in a game.
She locked her in like apparently, yeah, locked on its own somehow.
(11:13):
I don't know.
So I stopped watching criminal lines.
I think that's a good choice.
I think that might have been a good step.
And, okay.
Oh, all right.
The second part was celebrity.
Or I think it's like anyone on human to gene fit for that would be why that's our question.
Should we choose like once or for sure?
(11:36):
Sorry if you'll hear the bathroom.
Yeah.
The green room is close to the bathroom.
Yep.
If not, we can't move the bathroom.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Whatever.
Um, if you could have it.
I feel like any, the podcast is like targeted for the gene to her community.
I might have just people from the gene community.
(11:59):
A celebrity move.
If it's talking celebrity, a celebrity actually goes first.
What?
Actually, oh, no.
Okay.
Sorry guys.
I'm really gullible and I actually did believe that.
Okay.
Who would, who do you think?
Okay.
I'm just doing this from like celebrity perspective.
(12:21):
Um, I would say Keanu Reeves.
I love, I literally, when we had in English last year with Mr.
Schumacher, we had to write a letter to a celebrity.
And I just Keanu Reeves.
Um, because the first movie I ever saw him in was his acting debut, which is
(12:43):
Baves in Toyland.
Oh.
And I was about to say how old he was in that movie, but I don't, I would come back
and say like, like I don't know how long this is going to take.
Um, and I'm really learned about it.
Um, and I love you Keanu, that movie is really, I drew πολύ mores also in it.
Um, and since then that has kind of been like, movies with Keanu Reeves have been
(13:11):
like a very big part of my life, like it's really, it's nothing like planned or
anything like that.
It just happened to be like, uh, well, he's on screen.
like a good memory is made like last, not last summer,
but the summer before that Katie and I,
Katie Schumacher for anyone wondering.
We went on vacation with each other
(13:32):
and we watched Phil and Ted's Excellent Adventure
and he's in that movie.
So yeah, also he's just like such a wonderful person.
Like he's literally so sweet and genuine.
I say this like I have personal experience with him,
literally I think if I met him I would pass out,
but pick me back up I have a lot to say.
(13:58):
I think for that project I wrote to Emma Watson.
Oh my, I love Emma Watson.
And it was the funniest thing actually
because Mr. Schumacher's class that we have to do
that assignment for, he'll be like,
oh news we got a letter back, we got this letter back.
And like most of the guys look at letters back.
(14:18):
Yeah, like athletes and football players
and they'll usually like send signatures,
but usually like I wasn't expecting Emma Watson's
right back and Mr. Schumacher like places a package
or like this like thing on my desk that like after he
places it down and said bad, it would sit back.
Oh my gosh.
(14:40):
Oh my gosh.
Like a picture or something.
I just burst out laughing because how funny is that?
I was like, oh my God.
So anyway, I have a love to have Emma Watson on my page.
She has done just so much for just like equality
and like women's rights and just like,
(15:01):
she's a good person.
I love her.
Harry Potter, I love Harry Potter.
I feel like she would just have so many like intellectual
things to say.
Oh my gosh.
She's so smart.
I also just love her speaking voice.
Like Emma Watson started a podcast.
Please.
We'll listen to that.
We will listen to it.
(15:21):
I will stay in tune with that one.
All right.
Another group sounds like that is Kelly Clarkson.
I love Kelly Clarkson.
It's actually another funny story.
I devote her like she's like the reason why
I got into leadership.
I like this.
Oh my, seriously?
(15:42):
I mean, I told you the story.
All right.
So for my interview, I, you know,
I feel like if you could eat dinner with one person,
dead or alive, or like if you could ask some question,
who would it be and why?
And I had like, I had an idea in my mind.
I was like, oh, I'm going to do Temple Brandon.
Like, do you know who Temple Brandon is?
(16:04):
She's just like, she's a great person.
Like I love her movie and it was just like,
I know I had her in mind for doing it.
Is she an actress?
No, she's, she's like a motivational speaker now.
Oh, okay.
She suffers autism, but she's like a speaker
about like how that doesn't prohibit you from doing stuff.
(16:27):
She like created all the stuff for cows, I believe.
It's like, it's amazing.
I don't know.
Wait, I think there's a movie about her.
Yeah, it's like a-
I keep getting clips of the optic.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's hear about the majority of movies.
I think I was like, I'm going to talk about her
because she's so inspirational.
And then the moment came and they were like,
who would you, the Maya, Kelly Clarkson?
(16:50):
I think I listened to like,
like a breakaway in the song before,
in like the car before.
I was like, I love Kelly Clarkson.
And so, because she is very inspirational.
Like she has her own show.
She's on The Boys and like she went from,
she like lived in her car at one point,
(17:13):
like being like an amazing singer and just like,
she built up and she tells great stories.
Yeah.
Anyways, I would love to have her on.
If she just happened to be.
Yeah, if she just happened to be.
If she just happened to be.
She just happened to be there.
Yeah.
Performed at River Jam.
(17:33):
All right, next question is, what is your favorite episode?
Do you want to go first?
I'll go first, but the one that like sticks in my mind the most
is the first one I ever listened to, Ireland year.
It was Ava Charity's.
It was her, it's like, I remember it.
And it was like her, her experience
(17:55):
through her sister having cancer.
And it was just, I know it was, it was a really good talk.
And that's just the one that like popped up in my brain.
I don't think about that sometimes.
And like, also when I think of all these people
and like, oh, how are they doing now?
Like, I wonder, like, I don't know, I just think about that.
But that was probably my favorite
to listen to, this memorable for me.
(18:15):
Do you have one?
I would probably have to say like Bo Minofi's
just because it's so fun and it really shows his personality.
I mean, I didn't know him personally or anything like that.
But I liked the really beautiful balance of like him
talking about like anxiety, while also talking about like,
(18:38):
hobbies and things like that and just like his life in general.
Yeah, that was the one.
All right, how many episodes are you planning on making
and how long will they be?
So our minimum is five.
That's like our goal.
Yeah.
We really hope to produce more.
We wanna get as many stories out there
(18:59):
for you guys as possible.
I feel like they'll probably be around 20 to 30 minutes.
Yeah, I would say like our minimum is probably like 20.
Well, we are gonna like make people talk longer.
They don't want to, but like we're gonna aim
for our minimum to be around like 20.
And then our maximum to be like no more than 40,
(19:21):
maybe like 35.
We're not sure how long this one's gonna be
because we love talking, but yeah.
We'll see.
A lot of the questions are just like,
why don't we take over the podcast
and we kind of went over the, why this can't sound,
what is your greatest fear?
Oh my gosh.
(19:43):
My mom submitted that question.
Like we aren't saying who did it,
but like thank you mom for putting that out there.
That's a good question, I like that question.
Yeah, vulnerability is important.
I don't know.
I think like mine would probably just have to be like
disappointing other people.
That's a good one.
It's like if I fail and it's like my fault
(20:06):
and like I'm gonna be like upset at myself or whatever,
but like if like my mom or something was ever like,
I'm disappointed in you, then like that would be like
a punch in the gut.
Like it's so true when like people say that your parents
saying that they're disappointed is worse than them saying
like they hate you or something like that.
(20:28):
Yeah.
So I feel like that probably just,
yeah I agree here.
Like letting people down and like a big one for me
is I'm terrified of growing up and like.
Yeah, oh my gosh.
I'm terrified of growing up.
Just uncertainty, like that.
I totally change all of that.
(20:49):
I'm terrified of all of it.
I totally understand like all of the memes and stuff
where it's like I'm not gonna be a teenage girl forever.
Like that is so real.
That is so real.
I'm, oh gosh.
I'm afraid that like bring me an adult one day
like with a life and I'm like, like a family of your own.
(21:11):
Yeah, but it's also exciting exactly.
It's a new step and you know,
we'll always be a teen girl forever and our hearts.
And our hearts.
And our hearts.
The second part of like, well,
I'm terrified of growing up and like getting a job
and hating what I do.
That's, I'm terrified.
(21:32):
Because right now we have so much pressure on us
to pick a career, like pick a path,
like pick where we wanna go to college,
what we wanna major in right now.
And it's like, we're like 17, 18,
like we should not be told like what we decide now
like that's your path for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
It's terrifying.
Yeah, the flexibility up at all
(21:54):
and be very intimidating.
I'm just scared like I'm gonna get a job
and I'm gonna like drag going in every day.
And that's no way to live.
But I know that like you make life,
you get out of life when you put it in.
And I was like, yeah.
Oh, that's like, that's just one of my main goals
(22:16):
in life is to be happy wherever I am.
Yeah, I totally agree.
What are you most proud of?
My mom.
I'm actually really gonna have to like think about that.
I don't do, I don't.
I like jeopardy music.
I don't do the pause.
(22:36):
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel like I kind of have like two answers
to this question.
The more basic one is kind of just like academic based.
Because when I was younger,
I literally did not know how to read.
Like when I'm saying like I did not know how to read,
(22:59):
like I was basically illiterate.
And then in like the third grade,
I had a wonderful, wonderful teacher.
And something just like,
and I was able to kind of bounce back from that kind of,
I don't know, period in my life where I felt like
(23:20):
the world was ending a little bit.
Because like I had like bad teachers in the past
that just basically said I was like stupid
and stuff like that.
Which as a seven year old, that's not the best.
Yeah, that's not the best thing
that you should say to a seven year old.
But yeah, just kind of like bouncing back from that.
(23:44):
And then last year I got diagnosed with ADHD.
And that would have made my life so much easier
if I had gotten diagnosed earlier.
But not letting that get in my way
and kind of persevering even with my struggles
and stuff like that.
(24:04):
Which I feel like that's such a basic answer.
No, no, that's true.
But like I guess the second half would just have to be like,
I don't know, like my family,
we've been through so much, especially my mom and I.
My dad passed away when I was four.
And it was kind of hard to find that support system again.
(24:25):
And that bit of like normalcy, especially being young
and seeing like the clinical, like normal family.
Like a kid and both of their parents instead of just one.
And just getting closer to my mom and us having this
like really, really wonderful bond is something that
I think I'll treasure forever.
Oh, that's good.
(24:46):
I'm probably, I don't know.
I can't know what I'm most proud of.
I feel like throughout the years,
like I've definitely grown from I used to be very shy.
I like embarrassed me and I feel like a lot of people
would describe me now as outgoing.
And that's like always kind of been one of my goals.
(25:08):
Not that being shy is a bad thing at all.
But like I've always like kind of wanted to be like,
I wanted to talk, but I've been like holding it back.
And just throughout my years, I've been like pushing those
like what's over?
Boundaries?
Yeah, pushing my boundaries, I guess,
just like pushing my comfort levels and branching out
(25:29):
and trying to get things and like throughout that,
I've become more outgoing and been able to like
just speak my mind more, which I'm happy about.
I'm proud of myself for school related.
I'm proud of myself for never kind of like falling
into the like kind of like letting grades drive my life.
(25:52):
Like I have always, I'm, it's hard to word.
I don't know, I'm strict about my grades.
I like hold myself to specific standards.
And so do my parents, but it's like,
I throughout high school, I haven't really let that beat me
down like when rank comes out and everything,
(26:12):
like I don't let my rank get to me.
I'm like one bad test grade.
Like, and that's something I'm really proud of it.
It's something that I like want to keep forever.
Like it's big to me that you don't let one grade
define your life.
You don't let like one bad class or one like hard,
harsh strict teacher like define who you are.
(26:32):
And I kind of help myself to that.
Like I know that I'm smart and I'm not going to let
other people or my grades like define it.
Like I know what I'm capable of.
And I'm proud of myself for realizing that and keeping to that.
That's so good.
That's something especially entering high school.
Like if you're a freshman and you're listening to this,
or even if you're just like an underclassman
(26:54):
and you're listening to this, never let a grade in a class
or a test or literally anything, even like a teacher's opinion
on you, change the view of yourself.
Because at the end of the day, when you're a 30
and you're interviewing for a job or whatever,
they're not going to ask, what did you get in algebra 2
(27:17):
in high school?
Like nobody, nobody cares.
Well, my mom used to tell me growing up,
like whatever it was, it would be better before you're married.
If it's better before you're married,
you have no reason to like, I don't have to think
of the whole person phrase.
Like I think about that.
I'm like, all right, this one mattered in like five years.
Like why should I care now?
(27:38):
No.
All right, last question actually.
Who are your favorite artists?
I'm going to take this in the way of like music.
Yeah.
Do you want to go first?
I don't know.
I'll go first.
I'm not afraid to admit I am a huge Taylor Swift fan.
We know.
If you know Sarah, then you should know that she loves Taylor Swift.
(28:01):
I do.
And I'm not crazy about it.
It's not like I'm like, oh, I want to talk about Taylor Swift.
I did go to the Airis tour twice.
Which I kind of feel guilty for.
I feel bad.
You shouldn't feel guilty.
But it's like I paid for both my tickets at the time.
And I'm happy about it.
(28:23):
So whatever.
I love Taylor Swift.
I love like, hold on to that.
I feel like I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
It's bad.
I love Noah Khan right now.
Oh my gosh, when I went to Iron Blossom
and he came on stage with Hozier and it was her.
Love my life.
Oh my gosh, I love Hozier.
(28:45):
He's so tall.
He is.
He's literally like six foot three or something like that.
Let me see.
Phoebe Bridger.
Love.
Gosh, I'm looking through my blood.
All right.
I'm a Shiro.
I'm a big Ed Sheeran fan.
(29:06):
Oh.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I love Ed Sheeran.
I will defend that man.
He's a beautiful guy.
I don't know why people hate him.
Oh my gosh, it's incredible.
I love him.
I like a lot of oldies.
Oh, oldies.
But I don't even know I'm like looking through my Spotify.
(29:27):
So I like The Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles,
Skeet Miller Band, Tom Petty, Sublime, all of it.
I really love all types of music.
Oh, The Strokes.
Love The Strokes.
Oh my gosh, I love The Strokes.
Gosh.
(29:48):
Let's see, Florence and the Machine.
Harry Styles?
How about my non-mentionary side?
I'm not like a crazy herself fan.
Not saying I don't like to be like, oh, you can be crazy fans.
I don't like that.
Some people are just passionate.
Like people are just like, we need to normalize fan girlism.
Exactly.
Like if you're a normal thing, if you're a fan girl,
good for you.
Good for you.
(30:08):
As long as it's making you happy and you're not hurting anyone else.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Also, I do love some Chris Stapleton and some Casey Musgraves.
Some good country ear in there.
Luke, or Zach Bryan.
I have to throw him some panic at the distance.
(30:29):
They're first elements.
Oh my gosh.
I did do them in concert.
In like 2018 when they came.
2016.
OK.
With Weezer, actually.
So.
Weezer.
Weezer opens for them.
That's like my life.
My life.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
Maybe like some Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean, all the people.
(30:51):
Just like going down your side of my face.
Let's just sing every single person.
All right, Stevie Wonder, Lucy Dacus.
I might have sang that right.
I think it's.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Sorry, Lucy.
You've got to hold it.
It's from RBS.
We're pronouncing it wrong.
(31:11):
Don't make fun.
All right, I've been alone for a long time now.
So here we go.
Oh my gosh.
I really should have thought of people while we were talking.
I'm just.
I did with I.
I don't know.
I go to a lot of concerts.
My next one is Sunroom.
So I'll have to sing them.
I am.
They're really wonderful.
(31:33):
They're from San Diego.
Literally so great.
I saw them open for inhaler.
Love them.
I'm also singing them at concerts.
I'm impulsive and I'm flying to Dublin.
No.
My mom and I are impulsive.
We're together.
So yeah.
(31:53):
Who else?
Like Sarah, I love the strokes.
The strokes.
They're so, they're so wonderful.
They say they never performed in the US.
They were in the, they're performing right now.
In the US?
Yes.
They performed in Colorado like in America.
I swear.
At our box.
What?
I have a question from it.
They're like, they're never on the East Coast.
(32:14):
They're never on the East Coast.
Maybe that's fun.
Yeah.
Also, spin off to the strokes, the Boids.
The lead singer of the strokes, Julian.
He is also the singer in that band as well.
I like Bob Dylan, Clareau.
I feel like this is controversial, but I love the Smiths.
(32:37):
Like I love.
Why is it controversial?
People say it's like gaslighter music.
I don't actually, like when they feel like they're music.
My nippy.
My nippy.
And like, I get that, but like, the lyrics are so just like beautiful.
Yeah.
And I can't even.
(32:58):
Who else?
I love the Stone Roses.
They're great.
Arctic Monkeys.
I also really, really like them.
Oh my gosh.
Who else?
I feel like, I feel like that's kind of it.
I do listen to a little bit of Taylor Swift, but not as much.
Hey, don't even lie.
She went to the Air Tour too.
(33:19):
Okay.
I was invited.
I was invited.
Did not pay for anything.
That's good.
Except for my t-shirt.
Thank you.
Your t-shirt?
Yeah, I did.
You should wear them more often.
In my, with my pantologists.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're wrapping that.
I'm sorry, Taylor.
This like gets on Twitter or something and like the Taylor
(33:40):
lyrics are coming.
I don't know what, what is the Swiftiest?
Oh my gosh.
I don't even know like the new handle.
This is literally, this is going to get like cut and then
put on Twitter and stuff.
Like I'm going to get like non-SWIFT-y with the air tour.
Oh my gosh.
They're going to like find the pictures and they're going to
be like never let her go to a Taylor event ever, ever again.
(34:05):
But yeah, I feel like that really encompasses the likes
that I listen to.
I'm sorry for the person who asked the question.
They were thinking of like literal art artists.
I wouldn't know it.
I'm a big Chopin, but that is music.
Oh.
That is also music.
So.
Just music all around.
Music is art.
(34:26):
Music, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We speak one.
Oh.
Here's the question.
Is a cup a bucket?
Oh my gosh.
Are we seriously?
Okay.
No, I'm not.
A cup is not a bucket.
Like I'm just because two things can hold liquid doesn't
mean that it's a cup.
Yeah.
A cup is something you drink out of?
Yeah.
And I mean, you could technically drink out of a bucket,
(34:49):
but like you're not going to constantly reach for a bucket.
I have to handle two.
Buckets do have handle.
Well, mugs.
Or when you think of a cup, do you think of like, no,
because cups and mugs are different.
They're different.
I believe that too.
So like a coffee mug is different from like a glass
that you drink like water out of or something like that.
If someone drinks water out of a mug, I will.
(35:10):
That's like crazy.
Do something drastic in the moment.
But so yeah, a cup is not a bucket.
That's saying like, yeah, if we're
saying anything that can hold liquid is a cup,
then like is your mouth a cup?
You don't drink out of your hand.
Are your hands a cup?
Oh, I guess you can cup your hand.
(35:32):
But cup, no handle?
No.
No handle.
Exactly.
So I think that's a good way to end our.
Yeah, cup is in a bucket.
That may take away from the introduction.
Cup is in a bucket.
All right.
Well, that concludes our first podcast of season five.
(35:54):
Thank you so much for tuning in with us.
And we hope to see you back here next time.
And y'all have a good one.
Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth season of Humans of James River.
(00:07):
Woo!
My name is Sarah Boger and I'm Katherine Ulrich.
And we are so happy to be your host this year.
Yeah, it's so exciting.
Welcome back.
If you've watched, been in tune with these for a while or welcomed in, if this is the
first one you've ever watched.
Today is just going to be, get to meet your host, a little introduction from us to you.
(00:31):
We have questions that we post on the Instagram and all of that.
So let's get into it.
A little bit about that.
You want to go first?
Yeah, sure.
So as I said before, I'm Katherine.
One of the main things that I do here is ethics goal, which is in direct correlation with
leadership.
We actually went to Nationals last year.
Go us.
Spirit Award.
(00:52):
We didn't win any round.
At least we got the Spirit Award.
But yeah, that's mostly what I'm involved in at the school.
And leadership, of course, love her.
Which is great.
But yeah.
All right.
Like I said, I'm Sarah Boger, just like to back up a little bit.
We're both seniors at James River.
(01:13):
We're a part of the leadership program, which is why we get to carry on this great capstone.
For me, I'm involved in, I play field hockey for James River since freshman year.
And I also play the cross for James River.
Part of a good amount of clubs here and there just for fun, you know.
(01:34):
Peace club.
That's still a thing.
That's still.
Or environmental club now.
Book club.
I don't know, like Latin club.
There's so many.
Fight ball club, ping pong club.
There's a million.
So if you're a freshman, keep your eyes out.
Join, if you have an interest, join anything.
(01:57):
Opportunities are endless.
Also, it is so easy to create a club here.
It really is.
You just need an advisor.
Exactly.
Give the teacher an literally whatever.
We have bingo club.
We have reddit club now.
We have reddit club.
Thank you Gabe.
Shout out to Gabe for making reddit club.
What do they have like Doritos Mountain?
Yeah, at the meeting next week.
(02:21):
That's next day.
Which will not be next Wednesday, but this is posted.
But it's okay.
All right.
Should we get into the questions?
I mean, I guess we can get into the questions.
All right.
So we posted a story on Instagram kind of just being like, oh, ask this, whatever you want to hear about.
What you want to know about us.
(02:42):
And we got some fun responses, some deep responses, questions, all types.
So I guess we'll go in order.
Why did both of y'all feel compelled to start this capstone?
Well, we're not starting.
Oh yeah, this prep is like, we're carrying this on.
Yeah, this is a legacy capstone.
(03:04):
Fifth year.
Fifth year.
It started by having a queue carried on every year since even through COVID.
It was brave.
I felt compelled to start this capstone or to continue this capstone.
The first time I heard about this capstone was my freshman year.
(03:26):
I was playing lacrosse for the first time ever.
And the senior lacrosse goalie at that time was Ireland Rogan who was doing the capstone at that time.
And she is just the sweetest human being possible.
She was also like kind of friends with my sister at that time.
So she like, I don't know, she was like, she was very welcoming to me on the team because I was very shy, a little freshman who had no clue how to play lacrosse.
(03:55):
And so she would like offer me rides and she was just so sweet.
And I would hear about her doing this capstone all the time.
Sometimes just like have to leave early for filming or stuff like that.
And I took an interest to it and I went on the Instagram, I remember.
And I listened to one of them and I was like, oh my gosh, this is so cool.
(04:16):
It's like a better way for me to understand my school and like everyone that comes along with it.
Because especially when like as freshmen entering the leadership program, you're not isolated.
Like I like it having a group of people to like keep with for the next four years.
It's like reliable and you feel comfortable.
(04:38):
But sometimes I feel that like I was a little too comfortable.
Like I didn't get to expand my border as well enough.
You know, you're you're putting classes that are different than other people's classes.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
I coincidentally also happened to find out about the podcast through Ireland.
(05:01):
She was my like leadership, she was in my like leadership thing.
She was a senior for my position.
She was like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
But yeah, every time we would have a meeting, she would give us a little bit of an update on like how her house was going and everything.
(05:25):
And I listened to a bit of her season when I had free time and everything like that.
And as a person who was coming from a school that is not close to James River or whatever, like I my home school is bird for anyone wondering.
And that's literally on the other side of the county.
(05:47):
So even with having this like great new support system with our leadership cohort, there was still kind of this like feeling of not necessarily isolation,
but just feeling a bit scared to kind of reach out to other people and kind of continue to like make that community stronger.
(06:09):
But humans with James River really helped me realize that like a lot of people feel the same way that I do.
And at the end of the day, the worst thing that can happen is somebody doesn't respond to your type.
So yeah, I didn't even realize like how hard that must have been coming in freshman year just online.
(06:30):
Like I mean I just knew that this is my home school technically.
Yeah, it was interesting. I mean I had Liam and I had Becca, but I've gone to school with Liam since elementary school.
But we never like knew each other that well. And Becca and I had like a couple mutual friends.
And we weren't super close, but we've grown closer. It's been years have continued and our force proximity has continued to make us.
(06:58):
Alright, next question. What is your favorite podcast?
And if you could have anyone on humans with James River, who would it be and why?
Alright, let's break up. What's your favorite podcast? Do you listen to podcasts?
I listen to podcasts some of the time. I have really bad like insomnia. I cannot sleep ever.
(07:20):
So a lot of the time I'll listen to like sleep podcasts. There's this one I do for the life of me. I can't remember the name.
But this guy would just talk about like boring things like in his own words.
Like that is what he said. He's like, let me talk about all this boring stuff.
You guys will go to sleep. I remember he would talk about his cat and his girlfriend and then like other stuff.
(07:47):
And his voice is just very soothing. So I'll fall asleep to that sometimes.
I agree with that. When I was little I would have to like I would play YouTube videos on my phone like next to my phone to fall asleep.
It was bad. Like I was like 10 at the point.
No, I did that too but with the mom of me. Like the movie like I had a Hello Kitty DVD radio player.
(08:14):
Oh my gosh, wait. I feel like I had something on there.
And I would put that in there and I would listen to it.
That's amazing.
Thank you for helping me sleep when I was younger.
I wouldn't have died without you.
Literally. Why not?
(08:36):
I don't know if I have a bigger podcast either.
I've explored a lot of different things but I have trouble with commitment.
When it comes to podcasts or shows or anything I watch like three episodes. Like oh wow this is so cool and I'll never watch it again.
The weirdest thing is I've finished almost all seasons of Grey's Anatomy which is like crazy.
(09:00):
Grey's Anatomy?
Yeah, oh my gosh.
That's the one thing I can't do.
Like 20 seasons long?
Yeah, actually no I think I quit at like 15.
That was big.
That was my limit.
But if any, I have listened to a couple influencer podcasts because they're becoming more relevant and popping up all the time.
(09:24):
I think Emma Chamberlain maybe?
Yes, I love Emma Chamberlain.
I group a lot with YouTubers.
Yeah, the beauty community.
Oh my gosh.
I love that.
Those girls raised.
I don't know.
Did you ever watch Seven Supergirls?
Is that weird?
Yes!
(09:45):
Oh my gosh, I love them.
Seven Supergirls.
Like there was specifically this like these two I cannot remember.
Sisters?
I don't think they were sisters.
One of them, she has like a really big following on like TikTok now.
And then the other one, I think her name starts with like an R or something.
(10:06):
The first one like her with an M?
I don't know.
What's that about this one?
Yeah, I love those.
Oh, I thought yeah, I think I also listened to like some crime podcasts.
Yes.
I listened to those with my mom in my car.
I listened to like one, but I also had like a criminal mind space over.
(10:30):
Oh, me too.
I had that over quarantine.
And I remember I got so paranoid.
I started locking my door at night.
I like slept with a hammer underneath my bedside table.
A hammer?
A hammer.
Oh my gosh.
No, once I walked in from like walking my dog and like I was home alone.
And I go to use my down three bathroom.
(10:52):
It was locked.
I was like, oh my god, a murderer?
I'm unlocked.
It's so, it's locked.
It's gonna kill me.
And so I, um, and so I like called my mom and said, you need to come on now.
And she was like, I'm in a game.
She locked her in like apparently, yeah, locked on its own somehow.
(11:13):
I don't know.
So I stopped watching criminal lines.
I think that's a good choice.
I think that might have been a good step.
And, okay.
Oh, all right.
The second part was celebrity.
Or I think it's like anyone on human to gene fit for that would be why that's our question.
Should we choose like once or for sure?
(11:36):
Sorry if you'll hear the bathroom.
Yeah.
The green room is close to the bathroom.
Yep.
If not, we can't move the bathroom.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Whatever.
Um, if you could have it.
I feel like any, the podcast is like targeted for the gene to her community.
I might have just people from the gene community.
(11:59):
A celebrity move.
If it's talking celebrity, a celebrity actually goes first.
What?
Actually, oh, no.
Okay.
Sorry guys.
I'm really gullible and I actually did believe that.
Okay.
Who would, who do you think?
Okay.
I'm just doing this from like celebrity perspective.
(12:21):
Um, I would say Keanu Reeves.
I love, I literally, when we had in English last year with Mr.
Schumacher, we had to write a letter to a celebrity.
And I just Keanu Reeves.
Um, because the first movie I ever saw him in was his acting debut, which is
(12:43):
Baves in Toyland.
Oh.
And I was about to say how old he was in that movie, but I don't, I would come back
and say like, like I don't know how long this is going to take.
Um, and I'm really learned about it.
Um, and I love you Keanu, that movie is really, I drew πολύ mores also in it.
Um, and since then that has kind of been like, movies with Keanu Reeves have been
(13:11):
like a very big part of my life, like it's really, it's nothing like planned or
anything like that.
It just happened to be like, uh, well, he's on screen.
like a good memory is made like last, not last summer,
but the summer before that Katie and I,
Katie Schumacher for anyone wondering.
We went on vacation with each other
(13:32):
and we watched Phil and Ted's Excellent Adventure
and he's in that movie.
So yeah, also he's just like such a wonderful person.
Like he's literally so sweet and genuine.
I say this like I have personal experience with him,
literally I think if I met him I would pass out,
but pick me back up I have a lot to say.
(13:58):
I think for that project I wrote to Emma Watson.
Oh my, I love Emma Watson.
And it was the funniest thing actually
because Mr. Schumacher's class that we have to do
that assignment for, he'll be like,
oh news we got a letter back, we got this letter back.
And like most of the guys look at letters back.
(14:18):
Yeah, like athletes and football players
and they'll usually like send signatures,
but usually like I wasn't expecting Emma Watson's
right back and Mr. Schumacher like places a package
or like this like thing on my desk that like after he
places it down and said bad, it would sit back.
Oh my gosh.
(14:40):
Oh my gosh.
Like a picture or something.
I just burst out laughing because how funny is that?
I was like, oh my God.
So anyway, I have a love to have Emma Watson on my page.
She has done just so much for just like equality
and like women's rights and just like,
(15:01):
she's a good person.
I love her.
Harry Potter, I love Harry Potter.
I feel like she would just have so many like intellectual
things to say.
Oh my gosh.
She's so smart.
I also just love her speaking voice.
Like Emma Watson started a podcast.
Please.
We'll listen to that.
We will listen to it.
(15:21):
I will stay in tune with that one.
All right.
Another group sounds like that is Kelly Clarkson.
I love Kelly Clarkson.
It's actually another funny story.
I devote her like she's like the reason why
I got into leadership.
I like this.
Oh my, seriously?
(15:42):
I mean, I told you the story.
All right.
So for my interview, I, you know,
I feel like if you could eat dinner with one person,
dead or alive, or like if you could ask some question,
who would it be and why?
And I had like, I had an idea in my mind.
I was like, oh, I'm going to do Temple Brandon.
Like, do you know who Temple Brandon is?
(16:04):
She's just like, she's a great person.
Like I love her movie and it was just like,
I know I had her in mind for doing it.
Is she an actress?
No, she's, she's like a motivational speaker now.
Oh, okay.
She suffers autism, but she's like a speaker
about like how that doesn't prohibit you from doing stuff.
(16:27):
She like created all the stuff for cows, I believe.
It's like, it's amazing.
I don't know.
Wait, I think there's a movie about her.
Yeah, it's like a-
I keep getting clips of the optic.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's hear about the majority of movies.
I think I was like, I'm going to talk about her
because she's so inspirational.
And then the moment came and they were like,
who would you, the Maya, Kelly Clarkson?
(16:50):
I think I listened to like,
like a breakaway in the song before,
in like the car before.
I was like, I love Kelly Clarkson.
And so, because she is very inspirational.
Like she has her own show.
She's on The Boys and like she went from,
she like lived in her car at one point,
(17:13):
like being like an amazing singer and just like,
she built up and she tells great stories.
Yeah.
Anyways, I would love to have her on.
If she just happened to be.
Yeah, if she just happened to be.
If she just happened to be.
She just happened to be there.
Yeah.
Performed at River Jam.
(17:33):
All right, next question is, what is your favorite episode?
Do you want to go first?
I'll go first, but the one that like sticks in my mind the most
is the first one I ever listened to, Ireland year.
It was Ava Charity's.
It was her, it's like, I remember it.
And it was like her, her experience
(17:55):
through her sister having cancer.
And it was just, I know it was, it was a really good talk.
And that's just the one that like popped up in my brain.
I don't think about that sometimes.
And like, also when I think of all these people
and like, oh, how are they doing now?
Like, I wonder, like, I don't know, I just think about that.
But that was probably my favorite
to listen to, this memorable for me.
(18:15):
Do you have one?
I would probably have to say like Bo Minofi's
just because it's so fun and it really shows his personality.
I mean, I didn't know him personally or anything like that.
But I liked the really beautiful balance of like him
talking about like anxiety, while also talking about like,
(18:38):
hobbies and things like that and just like his life in general.
Yeah, that was the one.
All right, how many episodes are you planning on making
and how long will they be?
So our minimum is five.
That's like our goal.
Yeah.
We really hope to produce more.
We wanna get as many stories out there
(18:59):
for you guys as possible.
I feel like they'll probably be around 20 to 30 minutes.
Yeah, I would say like our minimum is probably like 20.
Well, we are gonna like make people talk longer.
They don't want to, but like we're gonna aim
for our minimum to be around like 20.
And then our maximum to be like no more than 40,
(19:21):
maybe like 35.
We're not sure how long this one's gonna be
because we love talking, but yeah.
We'll see.
A lot of the questions are just like,
why don't we take over the podcast
and we kind of went over the, why this can't sound,
what is your greatest fear?
Oh my gosh.
(19:43):
My mom submitted that question.
Like we aren't saying who did it,
but like thank you mom for putting that out there.
That's a good question, I like that question.
Yeah, vulnerability is important.
I don't know.
I think like mine would probably just have to be like
disappointing other people.
That's a good one.
It's like if I fail and it's like my fault
(20:06):
and like I'm gonna be like upset at myself or whatever,
but like if like my mom or something was ever like,
I'm disappointed in you, then like that would be like
a punch in the gut.
Like it's so true when like people say that your parents
saying that they're disappointed is worse than them saying
like they hate you or something like that.
(20:28):
Yeah.
So I feel like that probably just,
yeah I agree here.
Like letting people down and like a big one for me
is I'm terrified of growing up and like.
Yeah, oh my gosh.
I'm terrified of growing up.
Just uncertainty, like that.
I totally change all of that.
(20:49):
I'm terrified of all of it.
I totally understand like all of the memes and stuff
where it's like I'm not gonna be a teenage girl forever.
Like that is so real.
That is so real.
I'm, oh gosh.
I'm afraid that like bring me an adult one day
like with a life and I'm like, like a family of your own.
(21:11):
Yeah, but it's also exciting exactly.
It's a new step and you know,
we'll always be a teen girl forever and our hearts.
And our hearts.
And our hearts.
The second part of like, well,
I'm terrified of growing up and like getting a job
and hating what I do.
That's, I'm terrified.
(21:32):
Because right now we have so much pressure on us
to pick a career, like pick a path,
like pick where we wanna go to college,
what we wanna major in right now.
And it's like, we're like 17, 18,
like we should not be told like what we decide now
like that's your path for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
It's terrifying.
Yeah, the flexibility up at all
(21:54):
and be very intimidating.
I'm just scared like I'm gonna get a job
and I'm gonna like drag going in every day.
And that's no way to live.
But I know that like you make life,
you get out of life when you put it in.
And I was like, yeah.
Oh, that's like, that's just one of my main goals
(22:16):
in life is to be happy wherever I am.
Yeah, I totally agree.
What are you most proud of?
My mom.
I'm actually really gonna have to like think about that.
I don't do, I don't.
I like jeopardy music.
I don't do the pause.
(22:36):
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel like I kind of have like two answers
to this question.
The more basic one is kind of just like academic based.
Because when I was younger,
I literally did not know how to read.
Like when I'm saying like I did not know how to read,
(22:59):
like I was basically illiterate.
And then in like the third grade,
I had a wonderful, wonderful teacher.
And something just like,
and I was able to kind of bounce back from that kind of,
I don't know, period in my life where I felt like
(23:20):
the world was ending a little bit.
Because like I had like bad teachers in the past
that just basically said I was like stupid
and stuff like that.
Which as a seven year old, that's not the best.
Yeah, that's not the best thing
that you should say to a seven year old.
But yeah, just kind of like bouncing back from that.
(23:44):
And then last year I got diagnosed with ADHD.
And that would have made my life so much easier
if I had gotten diagnosed earlier.
But not letting that get in my way
and kind of persevering even with my struggles
and stuff like that.
(24:04):
Which I feel like that's such a basic answer.
No, no, that's true.
But like I guess the second half would just have to be like,
I don't know, like my family,
we've been through so much, especially my mom and I.
My dad passed away when I was four.
And it was kind of hard to find that support system again.
(24:25):
And that bit of like normalcy, especially being young
and seeing like the clinical, like normal family.
Like a kid and both of their parents instead of just one.
And just getting closer to my mom and us having this
like really, really wonderful bond is something that
I think I'll treasure forever.
Oh, that's good.
(24:46):
I'm probably, I don't know.
I can't know what I'm most proud of.
I feel like throughout the years,
like I've definitely grown from I used to be very shy.
I like embarrassed me and I feel like a lot of people
would describe me now as outgoing.
And that's like always kind of been one of my goals.
(25:08):
Not that being shy is a bad thing at all.
But like I've always like kind of wanted to be like,
I wanted to talk, but I've been like holding it back.
And just throughout my years, I've been like pushing those
like what's over?
Boundaries?
Yeah, pushing my boundaries, I guess,
just like pushing my comfort levels and branching out
(25:29):
and trying to get things and like throughout that,
I've become more outgoing and been able to like
just speak my mind more, which I'm happy about.
I'm proud of myself for school related.
I'm proud of myself for never kind of like falling
into the like kind of like letting grades drive my life.
(25:52):
Like I have always, I'm, it's hard to word.
I don't know, I'm strict about my grades.
I like hold myself to specific standards.
And so do my parents, but it's like,
I throughout high school, I haven't really let that beat me
down like when rank comes out and everything,
(26:12):
like I don't let my rank get to me.
I'm like one bad test grade.
Like, and that's something I'm really proud of it.
It's something that I like want to keep forever.
Like it's big to me that you don't let one grade
define your life.
You don't let like one bad class or one like hard,
harsh strict teacher like define who you are.
(26:32):
And I kind of help myself to that.
Like I know that I'm smart and I'm not going to let
other people or my grades like define it.
Like I know what I'm capable of.
And I'm proud of myself for realizing that and keeping to that.
That's so good.
That's something especially entering high school.
Like if you're a freshman and you're listening to this,
or even if you're just like an underclassman
(26:54):
and you're listening to this, never let a grade in a class
or a test or literally anything, even like a teacher's opinion
on you, change the view of yourself.
Because at the end of the day, when you're a 30
and you're interviewing for a job or whatever,
they're not going to ask, what did you get in algebra 2
(27:17):
in high school?
Like nobody, nobody cares.
Well, my mom used to tell me growing up,
like whatever it was, it would be better before you're married.
If it's better before you're married,
you have no reason to like, I don't have to think
of the whole person phrase.
Like I think about that.
I'm like, all right, this one mattered in like five years.
Like why should I care now?
(27:38):
No.
All right, last question actually.
Who are your favorite artists?
I'm going to take this in the way of like music.
Yeah.
Do you want to go first?
I don't know.
I'll go first.
I'm not afraid to admit I am a huge Taylor Swift fan.
We know.
If you know Sarah, then you should know that she loves Taylor Swift.
(28:01):
I do.
And I'm not crazy about it.
It's not like I'm like, oh, I want to talk about Taylor Swift.
I did go to the Airis tour twice.
Which I kind of feel guilty for.
I feel bad.
You shouldn't feel guilty.
But it's like I paid for both my tickets at the time.
And I'm happy about it.
(28:23):
So whatever.
I love Taylor Swift.
I love like, hold on to that.
I feel like I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
It's bad.
I love Noah Khan right now.
Oh my gosh, when I went to Iron Blossom
and he came on stage with Hozier and it was her.
Love my life.
Oh my gosh, I love Hozier.
(28:45):
He's so tall.
He is.
He's literally like six foot three or something like that.
Let me see.
Phoebe Bridger.
Love.
Gosh, I'm looking through my blood.
All right.
I'm a Shiro.
I'm a big Ed Sheeran fan.
(29:06):
Oh.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I love Ed Sheeran.
I will defend that man.
He's a beautiful guy.
I don't know why people hate him.
Oh my gosh, it's incredible.
I love him.
I like a lot of oldies.
Oh, oldies.
But I don't even know I'm like looking through my Spotify.
(29:27):
So I like The Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles,
Skeet Miller Band, Tom Petty, Sublime, all of it.
I really love all types of music.
Oh, The Strokes.
Love The Strokes.
Oh my gosh, I love The Strokes.
Gosh.
(29:48):
Let's see, Florence and the Machine.
Harry Styles?
How about my non-mentionary side?
I'm not like a crazy herself fan.
Not saying I don't like to be like, oh, you can be crazy fans.
I don't like that.
Some people are just passionate.
Like people are just like, we need to normalize fan girlism.
Exactly.
Like if you're a normal thing, if you're a fan girl,
good for you.
Good for you.
(30:08):
As long as it's making you happy and you're not hurting anyone else.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Also, I do love some Chris Stapleton and some Casey Musgraves.
Some good country ear in there.
Luke, or Zach Bryan.
I have to throw him some panic at the distance.
(30:29):
They're first elements.
Oh my gosh.
I did do them in concert.
In like 2018 when they came.
2016.
OK.
With Weezer, actually.
So.
Weezer.
Weezer opens for them.
That's like my life.
My life.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
Maybe like some Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean, all the people.
(30:51):
Just like going down your side of my face.
Let's just sing every single person.
All right, Stevie Wonder, Lucy Dacus.
I might have sang that right.
I think it's.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Sorry, Lucy.
You've got to hold it.
It's from RBS.
We're pronouncing it wrong.
(31:11):
Don't make fun.
All right, I've been alone for a long time now.
So here we go.
Oh my gosh.
I really should have thought of people while we were talking.
I'm just.
I did with I.
I don't know.
I go to a lot of concerts.
My next one is Sunroom.
So I'll have to sing them.
I am.
They're really wonderful.
(31:33):
They're from San Diego.
Literally so great.
I saw them open for inhaler.
Love them.
I'm also singing them at concerts.
I'm impulsive and I'm flying to Dublin.
No.
My mom and I are impulsive.
We're together.
So yeah.
(31:53):
Who else?
Like Sarah, I love the strokes.
The strokes.
They're so, they're so wonderful.
They say they never performed in the US.
They were in the, they're performing right now.
In the US?
Yes.
They performed in Colorado like in America.
I swear.
At our box.
What?
I have a question from it.
They're like, they're never on the East Coast.
(32:14):
They're never on the East Coast.
Maybe that's fun.
Yeah.
Also, spin off to the strokes, the Boids.
The lead singer of the strokes, Julian.
He is also the singer in that band as well.
I like Bob Dylan, Clareau.
I feel like this is controversial, but I love the Smiths.
(32:37):
Like I love.
Why is it controversial?
People say it's like gaslighter music.
I don't actually, like when they feel like they're music.
My nippy.
My nippy.
And like, I get that, but like, the lyrics are so just like beautiful.
Yeah.
And I can't even.
(32:58):
Who else?
I love the Stone Roses.
They're great.
Arctic Monkeys.
I also really, really like them.
Oh my gosh.
Who else?
I feel like, I feel like that's kind of it.
I do listen to a little bit of Taylor Swift, but not as much.
Hey, don't even lie.
She went to the Air Tour too.
(33:19):
Okay.
I was invited.
I was invited.
Did not pay for anything.
That's good.
Except for my t-shirt.
Thank you.
Your t-shirt?
Yeah, I did.
You should wear them more often.
In my, with my pantologists.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're wrapping that.
I'm sorry, Taylor.
This like gets on Twitter or something and like the Taylor
(33:40):
lyrics are coming.
I don't know what, what is the Swiftiest?
Oh my gosh.
I don't even know like the new handle.
This is literally, this is going to get like cut and then
put on Twitter and stuff.
Like I'm going to get like non-SWIFT-y with the air tour.
Oh my gosh.
They're going to like find the pictures and they're going to
be like never let her go to a Taylor event ever, ever again.
(34:05):
But yeah, I feel like that really encompasses the likes
that I listen to.
I'm sorry for the person who asked the question.
They were thinking of like literal art artists.
I wouldn't know it.
I'm a big Chopin, but that is music.
Oh.
That is also music.
So.
Just music all around.
Music is art.
(34:26):
Music, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We speak one.
Oh.
Here's the question.
Is a cup a bucket?
Oh my gosh.
Are we seriously?
Okay.
No, I'm not.
A cup is not a bucket.
Like I'm just because two things can hold liquid doesn't
mean that it's a cup.
Yeah.
A cup is something you drink out of?
Yeah.
And I mean, you could technically drink out of a bucket,
(34:49):
but like you're not going to constantly reach for a bucket.
I have to handle two.
Buckets do have handle.
Well, mugs.
Or when you think of a cup, do you think of like, no,
because cups and mugs are different.
They're different.
I believe that too.
So like a coffee mug is different from like a glass
that you drink like water out of or something like that.
If someone drinks water out of a mug, I will.
(35:10):
That's like crazy.
Do something drastic in the moment.
But so yeah, a cup is not a bucket.
That's saying like, yeah, if we're
saying anything that can hold liquid is a cup,
then like is your mouth a cup?
You don't drink out of your hand.
Are your hands a cup?
Oh, I guess you can cup your hand.
(35:32):
But cup, no handle?
No.
No handle.
Exactly.
So I think that's a good way to end our.
Yeah, cup is in a bucket.
That may take away from the introduction.
Cup is in a bucket.
All right.
Well, that concludes our first podcast of season five.
(35:54):
Thank you so much for tuning in with us.
And we hope to see you back here next time.
And y'all have a good one.
