Weekly Motivation with Crazy Fitness Guy. Obviously,

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:19.379
it's not a live stream today, but, and you'll

00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:22.579
know why in just a minute, but today's guest

00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:28.319
is very special. And she was, you know, I just

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:33.359
taken a look at our IMDB page. felt totally stupid

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.140
because she was in one of my favorite shows,

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:39.079
Bones, as a guest. And I was like, how did I

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.920
miss that? And it's like, I mean, I admit I didn't

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.859
see all the seasons, but when I just looked at

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:51.400
her picture, I'm like, wow, now I really feel

00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.939
stupid. But today's guest, you probably recognized

00:01:54.939 --> 00:02:01.219
her as Janet Varney. She's voice legend. She

00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:05.120
voiced Korra in Legend of Korra. And she is an

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.439
all -around amazing person. Oh, man. Thanks,

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:10.500
Jimmy. Yeah, don't give yourself a hard time

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.099
for not remembering. I feel like Bones had a

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:15.599
gajillion seasons and a lot of episodes per season.

00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.520
We should all be so lucky to have that kind of

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.080
showbiz money. Am I right? But yeah, the coolest

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.840
thing about that. So I did that episode. That

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.840
was the first one that David Boreanaz directed.

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:29.400
And so he was so excited. But it was and so it

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.460
was so cool because I got to audition for him.

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:33.900
And he was the one that made the decision to

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:36.000
cast me, which like just kind of meant more,

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.620
you know, than it. it had just been a director

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:40.759
that I didn't know or wasn't a fan of and he

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.080
was just having so much fun directing the show

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.360
and was so kind and funny and um and so that

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.379
in and of itself was like huge for me because

00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:52.080
I was a huge Buffy and Angel fan um even before

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.080
Bones and also um I played this like very sarcastic

00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.639
woman who worked at a used car lot but it was

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.740
like a safari themed used car lot so they had

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:03.319
me in this weird safari outfit with like a weird

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.719
hat but there was also a monkey who was at the

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.240
used car lot, one of those weeper capuchin monkeys.

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.159
And I don't think it was the one that was on

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.780
Friends, but I've worked with that monkey too.

00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:17.000
And so I got to like hang out with a monkey,

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:18.939
which was also very fun. It's always fun when

00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:20.979
there's an animal. It's a little stressful, but

00:03:20.979 --> 00:03:23.520
it's still fun because I love animals. So those

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.639
were the big thumbs up about doing that show.

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.639
And I will also say. Now you've got me on this.

00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:35.520
I will also say that Emily was gluten free, which

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.259
I also was and am and have been for like 17 or

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:42.939
18 years. And the last night of the shoot on

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:45.740
wrap night, I walked off the set and there was

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:49.280
just like two tables full of gluten free desserts,

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.300
like just the fanciest, best. And I was like,

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.219
what is happening right now? I'm in heaven. Because

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:57.120
usually on set, you can't eat any of the sweets

00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.199
if you're gluten free. So that's changed. a lot

00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.639
now but that was a long time ago so she was also

00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.580
amazing so there you go now you've got my inside

00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:09.280
scoop on the joys of bones I'm totally glad that

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.819
I brought that up because you know when I was

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:16.040
when I saw that you were on bones I was like

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.259
because I didn't recognize the episode at first

00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:23.220
until I clicked on it and I was like wait And

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:25.980
my first question was, did you play the dead

00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:28.459
body or whatnot? But then when I actually clicked

00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:30.420
on it, it's like, oh, no, no, she didn't play

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:32.060
the dead body. It's like, don't ask her this

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:36.600
question. It's funny you would say that because

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.600
my friend's mom is like obsessed with the idea

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.660
of she's not an actor at all, but she's like.

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.980
want to be a dead body on one of those detective

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:48.420
shows I wouldn't have to do anything and I'm

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:50.579
like you probably have to like be naked under

00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:54.920
a sheet she's like I don't care I told my parents

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.639
I could play a dead body. And, of course, my

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.120
parents both agree with me since they don't think

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.680
I do anything anyway. Uh -huh. They're like,

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.899
might as well make money lying around, Jimmy.

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.220
Exactly. I couldn't because I'm too wiggly. I

00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.379
have, like, too much, like, ADHD. And I would,

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:14.300
like, pop up off the table and run around in

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:15.939
a circle and be like, sorry, just got to burn

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:20.410
off this energy. Yeah, that's probably me. I

00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:23.069
have been diagnosed with ADHD, but I kind of

00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:26.370
feel like I have a little bit in me because after

00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:29.689
an hour and 30 minutes, probably, probably like

00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.569
an hour and 30 minutes of my class in college,

00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:35.490
I'm like, get me the hell out of this place.

00:05:35.930 --> 00:05:39.949
Totally. Totally. Again, it's so hard to know.

00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:41.790
I mean, you know, obviously you and I talked

00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:43.149
about this a lot when you were debriefing the

00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:47.079
elements with Dante and me. And Ruby, I believe

00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.399
it was when we did our disability or, you know,

00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.240
depending on how you like to define it. I know

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.680
it's different for everybody. But when we talked

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.720
about people who are, you know, maybe divergent

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.100
neurologically or however, you know, you want

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:06.860
to think of it. But it's so. Forget everything

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:09.560
that you know about a web browser because you

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:16.100
will be blown away by psychic. It's no ordinary

00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:21.220
web browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft

00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:24.319
Edge, and all the other web browsers out there.

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.079
It's based on productivity. And let me just name

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.079
a few other functionalities that it has. It's

00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.459
very fast. It blocks ads by default. You don't

00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.129
see that with Google Chrome, do you? Nope. And

00:06:43.129 --> 00:06:48.209
there's also a built -in sidebar so you can have

00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:53.889
all your tools and systems all in one place without

00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:58.910
having to go search and wait for the webpage

00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:01.689
to load. It's just right there with a click of

00:07:01.689 --> 00:07:05.670
a button. Try Sidekick out below with the link

00:07:05.670 --> 00:07:09.569
in the show notes and descriptions for more information

00:07:09.569 --> 00:07:14.829
about Sidekick. Boost your productivity probably

00:07:14.829 --> 00:07:19.009
tenfold because that's what I use it for is productivity.

00:07:19.509 --> 00:07:22.110
Check out Sidekick and tell them I sent you.

00:07:22.389 --> 00:07:24.189
Funny because, you know, there's still so much

00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:26.129
we don't understand about the brain. And so it's

00:07:26.129 --> 00:07:29.360
very easy, I think, for. you know diagnoses to

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.879
get thrown out there and it just depends on like

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.939
your relationship with the physician or the psychiatrist

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:37.759
and i've kind of been through a gamut of a bunch

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.100
of different stuff so um i always have a lot

00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:43.120
of empathy when people are like well first i

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.259
was told i had this then i was told i had this

00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:47.519
and a few late years later someone was like no

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.019
no no you have this it's like well we haven't

00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:52.500
the brain is complex i guess we haven't quite

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:57.439
nailed it all down yet yeah Yeah, I'm still trying

00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.959
to figure out my brain. It's been all over the

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:04.399
place lately. And speaking of which, you know,

00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:08.620
the last two weeks I've been trying to get to...

00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:13.680
I've been literally shoving so many things in

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.300
before I go to Chicago next week to present at

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:20.980
my aunt's school. And trying to get somebody

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:25.540
to print... a 24 by 36 poster is like very rare

00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:28.100
it is like we don't print this and it's like

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:33.360
holy crap this is ridiculous like a printing

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.200
shop is I think we have this problem for sketch

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.409
fest too like just a one off Yeah, Staples wanted

00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:44.490
$73 per poster. I'm like, this feels like extortion.

00:08:44.750 --> 00:08:48.049
I know. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. If you

00:08:48.049 --> 00:08:50.830
want one of something, get ready to really pony

00:08:50.830 --> 00:08:54.129
up because it's so expensive. I've definitely

00:08:54.129 --> 00:08:58.070
been through this. Well, luckily I found the

00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:03.429
UPS was actually very affordable. $7 for the

00:09:03.429 --> 00:09:08.250
print. Oh, that's for 24 by 36? Yeah. That's

00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:10.450
really good. I'm going to need to remember this.

00:09:10.509 --> 00:09:14.210
So it was just the UPS store. Yeah. What I did,

00:09:14.250 --> 00:09:18.889
I took the, I took two, you know, just the, just

00:09:18.889 --> 00:09:21.929
the basic prints, the color prints and everything.

00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:24.669
And I'm going to do the phone boarding myself

00:09:24.669 --> 00:09:28.789
because I was like, it's 49 for each board is

00:09:28.789 --> 00:09:32.409
a. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not cheap, but it's like.

00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:37.269
That's a hard pass. My dad said I have alligator

00:09:37.269 --> 00:09:42.129
arms. Alligator arms? I gotta talk to this guy.

00:09:42.149 --> 00:09:44.649
He says I'm really cheap. I gotta talk to this

00:09:44.649 --> 00:09:50.289
guy. I gotta talk to your dad. You should. Maybe

00:09:50.289 --> 00:09:51.929
you've already talked about this on the podcast,

00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.809
but what are you going to be speaking about at

00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:59.830
the college? I think it's a high school, I believe.

00:10:00.230 --> 00:10:01.730
Oh, okay. I don't know why I thought you said

00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:06.460
college. My bad. I'm going to be speaking about

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:10.379
my journey on my health and wellness journey

00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:13.220
and why I chose a healthy living lifestyle. Love

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:16.799
it. And keep it positive and everything. Love

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.440
it. Even though I think the universe is trying

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.899
to tell me that I need to slow down. I hear that,

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:28.529
my friend. I hear that. Yeah, it's hard, right?

00:10:28.610 --> 00:10:30.350
It's I mean, you do a bunch of different stuff.

00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:32.850
I can identify with that really strongly. And

00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:36.230
I definitely get on my little hamster wheel sometimes.

00:10:36.429 --> 00:10:40.389
And because exercise is really, really important

00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:42.149
for me to like, that's definitely where I get

00:10:42.149 --> 00:10:45.190
my endorphins. And it's definitely kind of maybe

00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:47.850
the most meditative space that I get into also,

00:10:47.929 --> 00:10:50.669
because I'm, I'm not great at, you know, like

00:10:50.669 --> 00:10:52.769
sitting in a quiet space and just breathing.

00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:55.269
And I know how important that is. But it's not

00:10:55.269 --> 00:10:57.909
always my strong suit. And so, you know, as we

00:10:57.909 --> 00:11:00.710
get to know our brains, like we've just been

00:11:00.710 --> 00:11:02.370
talking about, it's like, okay, well, what do

00:11:02.370 --> 00:11:04.990
you... I am what you call an indie podcaster.

00:11:05.190 --> 00:11:08.490

00:12:46.250 --> 00:12:49.309
podcast subscriber, click the links in the show

00:12:49.309 --> 00:12:53.879
notes and see which plan is right for you. You

00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.879
know, kind of figuring out what works for you

00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.940
and all of that. And for me, you know, going

00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:00.500
on a really long hike or, you know, bike rides

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:03.779
and stuff like that are key for me. But that

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:06.019
means you have to make time for that too. And

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.620
it is taxing in a different way than sitting

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:11.779
at a computer is taxing or, you know, working

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:15.000
a job on your feet is taxing. And I definitely

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.269
find myself sometimes like, you know. Just shoving

00:13:18.269 --> 00:13:20.929
a bunch of stuff in because it all feels equally

00:13:20.929 --> 00:13:23.289
important, but it's all different. And then I'm

00:13:23.289 --> 00:13:27.330
like, why am I so tired? Why am I so overwhelmed?

00:13:29.429 --> 00:13:34.830
But, you know, it's funny. Just have a real great

00:13:34.830 --> 00:13:40.289
transition. Yesterday, when I when I had the

00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:44.490
104 degree fever, I was like, you know, it's.

00:13:45.710 --> 00:13:48.809
I was like, I was going to, I don't know if,

00:13:48.850 --> 00:13:53.429
remember in the Avatar, The Last Airbender, during

00:13:53.429 --> 00:13:58.690
the awakening, where they go back to the serpent's

00:13:58.690 --> 00:14:01.289
past again, and Sarkis is like, oh, the universe

00:14:01.289 --> 00:14:04.509
is trying to keep proving me wrong. And then

00:14:04.509 --> 00:14:12.559
he says, thank you, the universe. just magically

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.539
get smashed in the head by one of the Fire Nation's

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:22.639
ammunition. And I was like, this feels exactly

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.120
like I got hit with a 104 -degree fever, but

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.299
then I'm just magically, nah, you know, we're

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:33.519
just testing you. And I was like, this interview

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.000
must go on with Janet Varney today. Because your

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.340
fever went away. Yeah. It was just a little poke.

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.779
It just poked at you for a second with the fever.

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.460
It's taunting me. Yeah, it's taunting you. No,

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:47.440
but do you find that's true? Do you sometimes

00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.379
push yourself till you get sick? I mean, that

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:54.779
sounds more dramatic than I mean it to, but do

00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:57.690
you ever feel like your body... kind of has a

00:14:57.690 --> 00:14:59.830
conversation in private with your brain and is

00:14:59.830 --> 00:15:01.450
like, all right, this guy's got to slow down.

00:15:01.889 --> 00:15:03.950
Let's just, like, throw a quick curveball at

00:15:03.950 --> 00:15:07.389
him, and we will just make sure that he takes

00:15:07.389 --> 00:15:12.110
an afternoon to rest. I think maybe a little

00:15:12.110 --> 00:15:14.110
bit, even though I try to do a lot of resting

00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:17.289
on the weekend. Though I admit this weekend I

00:15:17.289 --> 00:15:20.049
did not do much resting because I was cleaning

00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:23.990
the house for my mom because it was her Mother's

00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:27.879
Day gift. There you go. Oh, you can turn this

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.519
back on your mom. Good work. I'm just kidding.

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:32.799
That's very, that's very nice. That's a lovely

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.940
gift. And also, you know, I'm a very, I feel

00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:38.320
like I'm fairly practical. Like if someone is

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.179
like, you know, would you rather have a bouquet

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:42.179
of flowers or I'll clean your shower for you?

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.100
I would be like, uh, the shower, please. I don't

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.659
need it to be, I don't need something that sort

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:50.919
of presents as like, oh, look, a pretty thing.

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.000
Or like, you know, it's, I feel like I'm. I'm

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.059
very aware of the stuff that is like more meaningful.

00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:01.299
It's usually like, you know, an act like that

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:04.200
would be a better gift for me than like, you

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.600
know, something that sort of symbolizes Mother's

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.120
Day or whatever. The internet can be a distraction

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.799
place. It's full of distractions like social

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.120
media, shopping, and so many more websites that

00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.860
are very distracting, just like video games and

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:24.519
whatnot. It is all over the place. So much noise

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.500
going on. Well, with a blocker tool like Freedom

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:31.639
Blocker, it can block all those distraction websites

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:36.340
that you find distracting. I block RuneScape,

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:40.940
Facebook, Twitter, and all the social media marketing

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:43.899
tools. Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:49.600
able to run crazyfitnessguy .com because I'd

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.269
be distracted all day long. But thanks to them,

00:16:52.309 --> 00:16:59.049
I'm no longer distracted. Go to visit the web

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:27.559
got sick. But they probably had nothing to do

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.140
with each other. Well, I definitely, well, to

00:17:32.140 --> 00:17:34.740
answer your question, I do feel like sometimes

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:38.559
my body does tell me on stuff because I've injured

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.720
my knee twice. I've injured my back three times.

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:47.839
And so now I'm trying to do more yoga, trying

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.559
to keep it stretched out. Yeah. And before we

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.339
got on. I was like, oh, yeah, roll my shoulders,

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:58.779
roll my shoulders. This is a good reminder. And

00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:01.240
before we even got on, I actually laid on my

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.619
bed just reducing my knee exercises because I

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:09.539
didn't do it yesterday because I just laid in

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:13.440
bed. I took two showers just to see if I was

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.839
like. oh man why I'm so cold and it's like even

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.480
though it's like starting to be like 60 degree

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.180
weather apps and it's like wait I shouldn't be

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:26.799
in cold with 60 plus degree weather out no that's

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.880
what gave it away did you have yeah I mean wonder

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.019
104 is not there's not nothing where you did

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:35.579
you have that sort of like I also sort of feel

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:37.779
like I'm floating outside of my body like did

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:42.900
you have the kind of feverish feeling Or did

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:46.119
you just feel normal, but you were like, I'm

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:52.480
freezing? I felt normal, but I was like, why

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.579
can't it get warm? And then I tried to restart

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:58.960
my day. I was like, I'm just going to lay in

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.920
bed for a couple of hours. And it was like, oh,

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:07.220
maybe just a whole day. Yeah. Good choice. Good

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:12.039
choice. And it was perfect timing because my

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.160
parents came home, like, right around 5 o 'clock

00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.559
-ish, and I'm just like, perfect, now I have

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.700
somebody to take care of me. Cool. Uh -huh. Let

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:25.920
me just sit back and let the soup get made. Exactly.

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.079
Excellent. Perfect timing. Excellent. So, I was

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:38.670
curious, what is your most strangest... comic

00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:43.049
-con experience strange good and bad wow that's

00:19:43.049 --> 00:19:45.750
a great question um i wish that i that's funny

00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:48.710
i well i have a recent one that i actually will

00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:52.460
say is probably the strangest in a sense um And

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:54.640
it just happened. So that's a fun. It's a funny

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.920
question that you're asking now, because I don't

00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.279
actually know what my answer would have been

00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.980
before this just happened to me. But I just did

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:05.940
a comic con in down in McAllen, Texas, which

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:09.200
is in the Rio Grande Valley, which I say because

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.539
a lot of folks from South Texas just say I live

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:13.299
in the valley. And that's what they mean. There

00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:16.279
are a bunch of different towns that kind of encompass

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.640
that or that that encompasses. And I was there

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.099
on. i got there thursday night the con started

00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:25.880
on friday it was a great lovely day on friday

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:30.920
with everyone um super fun uh super just like

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.700
great great people and then went back to the

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:39.000
hotel on friday night and uh at like 10 or 10

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.380
30 as i was like winding down to go to sleep

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:45.019
all of a sudden uh these clouds rolled in and

00:20:45.019 --> 00:20:48.660
i And the wind just picked up like extraordinarily

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:51.160
fast. And it was like 80 mile an hour winds.

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:54.799
There was lightning all through the sky. I posted

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.579
a little bit of a video on Instagram of it because

00:20:57.579 --> 00:21:00.799
it was so it was flashing as if it were just

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.400
like flashbulbs just going off at all times.

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:08.180
Hydroflask is the best water bottle, in my opinion,

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:12.150
because it keeps my water nice. cold and refreshing

00:21:12.150 --> 00:21:14.950
throughout the day. And yes, I do drink a lot

00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:17.769
of water throughout the day. So even though it

00:21:17.769 --> 00:21:22.329
stays colder for longer, I still like having

00:21:22.329 --> 00:21:27.230
a reusable water bottle like Hydroflex because

00:21:27.230 --> 00:21:33.599
it just sits on my desk and It just sits on my

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.000
desk and reminds me, hey, you got to drink water.

00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:41.640
And Hydro Flask, it keeps it cold longer, which

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.059
makes me want to drink more water throughout

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:47.480
the day because, you know, there's nothing worse

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.220
than drinking warm water. Go to hydroflask .com

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:56.559
and use the link in the show notes. And yes,

00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.539
I do get a small commission from Hydro Flask.

00:22:02.179 --> 00:22:05.380
which also helps support the show. So tell them

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:09.000
I sent you. Here's the link below. And yeah,

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.059
check out Hydroflask .com for more information.

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:15.220
At the same time, all through the sky, it was

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:17.299
not like, oh, look, there's lightning forking

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:19.420
down over there. It was like, oh, the whole sky

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:22.180
is lightning. I'd never seen anything like it.

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.660
And it knocked the power out pretty quick. The

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:30.720
next morning, the power was still out. And so,

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:32.359
you know, my cell phone had stopped charging

00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.980
and I had to take a cold shower because I guess

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:36.859
they had an electric water heater in the hotel.

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:40.279
I walked in, you know, no lights, walked out

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.960
into the hallway and the hallway of the hotel

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.359
didn't have windows. So it was pitch black. And

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.740
my, you know, agent, manager, wonderful friend,

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.599
person who was with me there was like, yes, so

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.660
the convention doesn't have any power. They're

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:59.160
working on that. Do you want us to go back to

00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.839
your room and like read in the light of the window

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.960
until we know what's going on? And again, we

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.460
had no way of charging our phones. Everyone was

00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:09.720
like turning their phone off or like battery,

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.319
you know, battery saver, battery saver, battery

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.920
saver. And then finally they got a bunch of generators

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.859
going. And so I went to the con, but everything

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:19.049
was like. You know, there was no air conditioning.

00:23:19.210 --> 00:23:21.190
Everything was sort of functioning at like 30

00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:24.230
percent light. So it was very dim in there. But

00:23:24.230 --> 00:23:26.869
people showed up and we kept cranking it along

00:23:26.869 --> 00:23:29.289
for the most part. You know, like electronic

00:23:29.289 --> 00:23:32.150
payment couldn't work because the just power

00:23:32.150 --> 00:23:33.789
everywhere. There was no Wi -Fi. There was nothing.

00:23:34.369 --> 00:23:37.269
And and that persisted all the way through till

00:23:37.269 --> 00:23:40.170
Saturday night. And Saturday night when the lights

00:23:40.170 --> 00:23:42.809
came back on, there was just this loud cheer.

00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:46.220
But like Shatner was there, for example, and

00:23:46.220 --> 00:23:48.339
they had to move his like they had to move all

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:51.799
of our photo ops and the panel to just the area

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:54.039
of the con that they could actually have power

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.539
because they were running off of generators.

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.680
And so the photo ops were just like in the sunlight

00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.480
of the hallway of the convention center because

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:03.359
they didn't have professional lighting anymore.

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:07.000
And his his panel was like it moved to this totally

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.279
different, like just open kind of space in the

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:13.299
almost as if you're doing it in the lobby. And

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:14.519
then so the lights finally came on. Everyone

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.900
was so excited. Like I hurriedly like plugged

00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:18.960
my phone in and then I got back to the hotel

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:20.359
assuming that there would be power and there

00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.500
still wasn't power. And so the power at the hotel

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:24.779
never came back on the entire time I was there.

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.220
And so I left on Sunday like early evening and

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:30.799
I just hadn't had power since Friday night. So

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.279
I was just taking cold showers, not using my

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.000
phone, couldn't watch TV. And so you want to

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.660
talk about meditative. there's just you really

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.319
find out like oh this is how to be you know alone

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.740
with yourself like this is how to do this because

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:46.339
you don't really have a choice it was interesting

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:48.500
so that was pretty strange that was pretty strange

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:55.599
well well you know i i kind of have a similar

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.099
story a little bit i mean maybe not similar but

00:24:59.099 --> 00:25:02.079
i remember there was one time when i was at karate

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.920
uh we were I think we were just practicing on

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.819
the pads and everything. And the power went out

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:16.319
on us. And everybody knew each other in karate,

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.359
so it's not like we're going to hurt each other

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:23.279
and everything. But it's funny, my sensei, he

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.779
comes out of his office and he's like, oh, my

00:25:25.779 --> 00:25:28.220
power goes out, but across the street, the Volkswagen

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:31.279
place, his power still stays on. And I was like,

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.339
what the heck do I pay the power company for?

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.250
Yeah, yeah. And now he just got promoted to his

00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:38.329
fifth degree black belt. It's like, I sure as

00:25:38.329 --> 00:25:40.430
don't want to screw with this guy. I know. Do

00:25:40.430 --> 00:25:45.509
not be a power representation of the power company

00:25:45.509 --> 00:25:47.710
and show up to the fifth degree black belt and

00:25:47.710 --> 00:25:49.490
who looks right across the street and is like,

00:25:49.650 --> 00:25:53.369
hey, what's going on here? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:55.329
I would not want to. That's got to be such a

00:25:55.329 --> 00:25:57.529
hard job to be the person who's taking the call

00:25:57.529 --> 00:25:59.589
when you're like, I don't have any power. My

00:25:59.589 --> 00:26:02.569
neighbors have it. What's going on? Get out here.

00:26:03.690 --> 00:26:09.970
Yeah. Yep. So I am what you call an indie podcaster.

00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:01.759
plan is right for you. Just out of curiosity,

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:05.609
how did you get started in your career? as a

00:29:05.609 --> 00:29:09.950
actress and a voice actor etc sure um well I

00:29:09.950 --> 00:29:12.690
am from Tucson Arizona and I went to public school

00:29:12.690 --> 00:29:15.410
my my whole youth and you know just went to a

00:29:15.410 --> 00:29:17.450
state college so I wasn't doing anything super

00:29:17.450 --> 00:29:20.490
fancy but um but the you know schools I went

00:29:20.490 --> 00:29:22.369
to had school plays and stuff like that and so

00:29:22.369 --> 00:29:25.809
I always did love performing um and so I did

00:29:25.809 --> 00:29:28.410
that all through high school and then I ended

00:29:28.410 --> 00:29:32.859
up going to um school I mean I majored in theater

00:29:32.859 --> 00:29:35.400
in college but quite honestly it was just because

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.000
I didn't really have anything else that I was

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.819
passionate about um I am totally like a textbook

00:29:41.819 --> 00:29:44.640
kid who probably like I maybe could have used

00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.400
a gap year um you know I really feel I really

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.160
feel for for college students who are like undeclared

00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.359
or who you know have been told they're supposed

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:55.160
to major in this thing because their parents

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.359
think that's the right path for them and all

00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:00.619
of that because while my parents did not do that

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:03.220
um they were like whatever you decide to do you're

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:05.359
a good student like you know you're gonna be

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:10.200
fine um i i just didn't feel like i i just didn't

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:13.150
feel like i had a lot of direction and um And

00:30:13.150 --> 00:30:15.690
I didn't feel like I was going to go into acting.

00:30:15.869 --> 00:30:19.250
I felt like that was like very unrealistic. So

00:30:19.250 --> 00:30:22.630
but but like after my freshman year of being

00:30:22.630 --> 00:30:24.549
undeclared, finally, I was like, I got to make

00:30:24.549 --> 00:30:26.930
a decision. I guess I'll just do theater. So

00:30:26.930 --> 00:30:29.609
I majored in theater. And then when I moved to

00:30:29.609 --> 00:30:31.650
San Francisco, I kind of did take a gap year

00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:34.950
between my junior and senior years just so I

00:30:34.950 --> 00:30:36.990
could work and establish residency there. Because

00:30:36.990 --> 00:30:39.009
if you're an in -state student, it's like way

00:30:39.009 --> 00:30:40.930
less expensive. And I was putting myself through

00:30:40.930 --> 00:30:44.599
school. And once again, I was like, nope, this

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.140
is a fresh start. I'm going to major in something

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:49.180
else. Like I was really interested in interior

00:30:49.180 --> 00:30:51.579
design and architecture. And I was like, cool,

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.000
I'm going to do that. And then I found out, number

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:58.039
one, that the degree for some reason was in home

00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.660
ec, which I was like, I'll never live that down.

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:02.319
Like there's nothing wrong with home economics,

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:05.119
but other people will be like, oh, did you get

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:08.180
a degree in making cookies? Which is like, you

00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:09.759
know what? Women should be able to get a degree.

00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:11.650
Men should be able to. Anybody should be. able

00:31:11.650 --> 00:31:13.730
to get a degree making cookies I don't care but

00:31:13.730 --> 00:31:15.910
I was like I'm gonna get teased about this but

00:31:15.910 --> 00:31:19.190
more importantly um I had so many theater credits

00:31:19.190 --> 00:31:20.869
I was like oh no it's gonna be like starting

00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:24.390
over again so I continued to major in theater

00:31:24.390 --> 00:31:29.349
and By the time I got, you know, up through like

00:31:29.349 --> 00:31:32.529
getting all my credits and stuff, I still wanted

00:31:32.529 --> 00:31:34.349
to work in interior design. So I was working

00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:36.829
as a project manager in my very, very early 20s.

00:31:36.829 --> 00:31:38.509
I was working as a project manager for this interior

00:31:38.509 --> 00:31:41.349
design firm in San Francisco that had recruited

00:31:41.349 --> 00:31:44.690
me out of working at Pottery Barn, which was

00:31:44.690 --> 00:31:48.410
like my job while I was at school. And then some

00:31:48.410 --> 00:31:50.329
friends of mine that I had gone to college with

00:31:50.329 --> 00:31:51.849
were like, we're going to start this sketch comedy

00:31:51.849 --> 00:31:54.690
group. You should join. You should be the girl

00:31:54.690 --> 00:31:58.220
because. it's only gotten better in every aspect

00:31:58.220 --> 00:32:01.220
for women in entertainment. We have a ways to

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:02.839
go, but at the time, you know, there's just,

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.059
it's like, it's very common for it to be like

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:08.140
four guys and a girl or six guys and one girl

00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:12.220
in an improv group. The internet can be a distraction

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:15.880
place. It's full of distractions like social

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.220
media, shopping, and so many more websites that

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:23.980
are very distracting. just like video games and

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:27.200
whatnot. But it is all over the place. So much

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.700
noise going on. Well, with a blocker tool like

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:34.359
Freedom Blocker, it can block all those distraction

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:39.400
websites that you find distracting. I block RuneScape,

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:44.019
Facebook, Twitter, and all the social media marketing

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:47.000
tools. Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.059
able to run crazyfitnessguy .com I'd be distracted

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:58.200
all day long. But thanks to them, I'm no longer

00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:02.980
distracted. Go to visit the web link in the show

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:05.559

00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:09.240

Visit them to find more information. And I was

00:33:27.619 --> 00:33:29.579
like, oh, I don't know. You know, I like kind

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:32.160
of being the funny, funny friend. But I don't,

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.480
you know, I'm not, I've not studied comedy or

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:36.200
anything like that. But they convinced me to

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.720
do it. And so we were just performing in San

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.480
Francisco. And then we got scouted by some people

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.160
from L .A. And we got to go do the HBO Aspen

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.019
Comedy Festival. And it was very fun. I got to

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:49.519
meet the Flight of the Conchords. They were just

00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.420
starting, too. And I love those guys. And so

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:54.059
it was just fun to see them when everyone was

00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:56.940
like, who is this? And there were some other

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:59.299
groups like that. And then I ended up coming

00:33:59.299 --> 00:34:01.660
down to L .A. because, you know, some managers

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:03.400
and agents and stuff were like, oh, you should

00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.640
come down. And I really fought it tooth and nail.

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:08.860
I was like, no, this is not my destiny. And then

00:34:08.860 --> 00:34:10.559
I came down just to do some auditioning, like

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.900
staying on a friend's couch. And I started, you

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:14.599
know, kind of getting jobs and stuff. And I was

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:18.559
like, oh, no. Oh, no, I do love this. Oh, shoot.

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:23.000
Like, this is really fun. I'm around all of these

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.679
people who inspire me so much. And there's people

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.280
just taking these huge career risks by chasing

00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.079
their dreams. And it's hard. And there's a lot

00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:34.440
about the business that's extremely superficial

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.440
and money -oriented. And I've never gotten comfortable

00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.019
with that, nor have most of the creative people

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:42.360
that I know in this business. There's still a

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.110
lot of like, well. You know, it's a business

00:34:45.110 --> 00:34:47.949
like it's a business. So there's a lot of heartache

00:34:47.949 --> 00:34:50.070
in there and a lot of values that I don't necessarily

00:34:50.070 --> 00:34:52.170
agree with. But I feel like as I've gotten older,

00:34:52.190 --> 00:34:54.769
I've been lucky to work on things that I think

00:34:54.769 --> 00:34:57.210
are a better reflection of, you know, my own

00:34:57.210 --> 00:34:59.809
values. And, you know, doing Quora is a huge

00:34:59.809 --> 00:35:01.989
example of that. And I just got really lucky

00:35:01.989 --> 00:35:04.650
in auditioning and getting cast in that role.

00:35:04.829 --> 00:35:08.690
But but like the Avatarverse is, you know, that's

00:35:08.690 --> 00:35:11.030
for me something that. you know I've always wanted

00:35:11.030 --> 00:35:13.230
to stay connected to even just as a fan because

00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:18.219
it's more it just feels more like like how I

00:35:18.219 --> 00:35:20.719
want people to treat each other and like view

00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.460
the world and interact and all that um but the

00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:26.300
voiceover part was it was you know I just I was

00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:30.679
I I was acting on camera and I um had a couple

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.460
friends who were doing cartoon voices and I was

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:35.179
like now that's the dream like doing a cartoon

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:37.800
voice would be the dream it's sort of a combination

00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.980
of comedy and acting and you know I assumed that

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:42.920
I would maybe get jobs doing like wacky voices

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.139
which I do do some of that um but the biggest

00:35:46.139 --> 00:35:47.909
job I ever got was Korra. And they were like,

00:35:47.929 --> 00:35:49.469
and it's going to be your own voice. And it's

00:35:49.469 --> 00:35:52.570
actually a pretty serious role. So it was, it

00:35:52.570 --> 00:35:55.969
was such a surprise. But yeah, so that's kind

00:35:55.969 --> 00:35:58.110
of how I got into it. I mean, I really had to

00:35:58.110 --> 00:36:01.329
like, ask. you know my representation that I

00:36:01.329 --> 00:36:04.849
had like what if I wanted to get involved in

00:36:04.849 --> 00:36:06.610
voiceover like what would that look like and

00:36:06.610 --> 00:36:08.210
you know what kind of classes would I need to

00:36:08.210 --> 00:36:10.489
take and stuff like that because back then we

00:36:10.489 --> 00:36:12.610
didn't have the marvelous Dee Bradley Baker's

00:36:12.610 --> 00:36:14.530
I want to be a voice actor dot com we didn't

00:36:14.530 --> 00:36:16.050
have that resource or I would have just gone

00:36:16.050 --> 00:36:18.349
there because he lays it all out for everybody

00:36:18.349 --> 00:36:23.480
we always need that cheat sheet The cheat sheet

00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:28.179
never hurts. It never hurts. No, it's so good.

00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.300
It's so good to have like just the sort of great

00:36:30.300 --> 00:36:32.119
catch all resource that, you know, when he just

00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:34.340
does it because he's a kind and wonderful human

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:36.420
being, you know, he's just like wants to give

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:40.179
back. And it's so cool. And it really is. It's

00:36:40.179 --> 00:36:42.800
a great resource for people who are just barely,

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.079
you know, getting started. And then for those

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.739
of us who are like. You know, I need to I think

00:36:47.739 --> 00:36:50.639
I need to brush up on a class or, you know, what's

00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:52.599
what what what gear are people using? Like I

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.400
heard some rumblings about a new mic, you know,

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.360
that kind of thing. Like it's it's great. He's

00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.699
such a great resource and a great person. So

00:36:59.699 --> 00:37:05.780
I was curious, like. When you got what is your

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:09.679
least favorite? I am what you call an indie podcaster.

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:13.119

and see which plan is right for you. Avatar,

00:38:58.980 --> 00:39:02.380
the last airbender episode. Oh, come on. Jimmy,

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:06.769
don't. Don't stir it up. Don't stir it up. I

00:39:06.769 --> 00:39:11.010
mean, I don't I don't I honestly don't have one.

00:39:11.869 --> 00:39:15.170
I really don't. And the reason for that is that,

00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:18.550
like, unfortunately for you, I've had this amazing

00:39:18.550 --> 00:39:21.130
experience of, like, talking to so many people

00:39:21.130 --> 00:39:23.210
who were involved in the making of the show and

00:39:23.210 --> 00:39:26.469
talking on a regular basis to Brake and understanding

00:39:26.469 --> 00:39:29.989
why they wanted to tell certain aspects of certain

00:39:29.989 --> 00:39:33.590
stories that I just don't, like, I've never felt

00:39:33.590 --> 00:39:37.289
that way about, you know, I'm not going to be

00:39:37.289 --> 00:39:39.289
like, oh, The Great Divide is, like, such a stinker.

00:39:39.369 --> 00:39:41.510
Like, I just never felt that way about it. it

00:39:41.510 --> 00:39:44.590
already and i totally get why people um you know

00:39:44.590 --> 00:39:47.190
kind of turn their nose up at it but uh i just

00:39:47.190 --> 00:39:49.530
don't feel that way like i really i like it i'm

00:39:49.530 --> 00:39:52.889
always interested in what the motivation behind

00:39:52.889 --> 00:39:55.550
you know making the episode is and like i think

00:39:55.550 --> 00:39:57.329
there's some really great lessons in there and

00:39:57.329 --> 00:40:00.110
i sort of and i love the end i love the change

00:40:00.110 --> 00:40:02.570
and the shift in animation i love that they animated

00:40:02.570 --> 00:40:04.369
a totally different way like to me that's like

00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:07.800
whoa, what, like, something really interesting

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.940
is happening here. So I have, there's, like,

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:13.079
I just have, I've watched the series so many

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:14.340
times, I know I haven't watched them as many

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:17.739
as you have, but, so I guess that means that

00:40:17.739 --> 00:40:19.760
the right person to answer this question is actually

00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:23.019
you. Jimmy, what is your least favorite episode?

00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:27.659
Is it or is it not The Great Divide? No, it's

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:32.000
actually, I actually kind of like that one. No,

00:40:32.099 --> 00:40:36.260
I mean, my least favorite would have to be the

00:40:36.260 --> 00:40:42.079
Appa's Lost Days because it's just so sad I mean

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:47.940
it's like like it's just Appa's suffering and

00:40:47.940 --> 00:40:52.219
everything and the other one just like not my

00:40:52.219 --> 00:40:55.239
favorite to watch is Bato of the Water Tribe

00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:59.219
and it's just because you know and could have

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:03.099
like literally easily said hey i just got this

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:06.019
message last night i didn't hide it from you

00:41:06.019 --> 00:41:09.400
and it's like but they just took it like oh you

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:12.659
hid this from us it's like it literally was only

00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:15.420
like what a few hours that went by and it's like

00:41:15.420 --> 00:41:18.260
he didn't technically hide it from you he probably

00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:20.900
just thought you went to bed and you want to

00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:22.940
catch up with bada before he sprung this out

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:30.340
on you Hey, you got the inside scoop. I did not.

00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.500
While I appreciate your defense of Aang, I think

00:41:34.500 --> 00:41:38.039
that's a hard episode because for me, it's hard

00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.980
because I think he does actively choose to keep

00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:46.179
it from them. But I, but it's so, and I, and

00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:48.460
you're right, it's excruciating watching Appa's

00:41:48.460 --> 00:41:51.559
Lost Days. And I find the stuff with Aang, you

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.900
know, quote unquote betraying, however you want

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:55.139
to think of it, lying, however you want to think

00:41:55.139 --> 00:42:00.179
of it, about that correspondence is also incredibly

00:42:00.179 --> 00:42:03.559
agonizing. But it's also something that, like,

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.800
I just find so relatable. I mean, the feeling

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.820
of, like, but we got this, we got this thing

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:12.469
going. Like, we've got this. special thing I

00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:15.989
have this family now and here's this thing that

00:42:15.989 --> 00:42:18.570
might upset all of that and I might lose the

00:42:18.570 --> 00:42:21.070
stuff that's most important to me and so I think

00:42:21.070 --> 00:42:24.130
it's it's something we can all relate to is is

00:42:24.130 --> 00:42:26.369
just that feeling of like would I do something

00:42:26.369 --> 00:42:30.510
morally questionable if I thought it was going

00:42:30.510 --> 00:42:34.889
to protect like an overall good situation which

00:42:34.889 --> 00:42:37.190
is like my good friends and me doing good in

00:42:37.190 --> 00:42:41.030
the world like would it be tempting to you know

00:42:41.030 --> 00:42:44.090
sort of be selfish in that way and you know like

00:42:44.090 --> 00:42:47.050
again I always think about Mike and Brian being

00:42:47.050 --> 00:42:49.070
like you know they can't the avatar has to learn

00:42:49.070 --> 00:42:51.829
like that's what makes the avatar or any true

00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:55.090
hero who represents humanity in some way has

00:42:55.090 --> 00:42:57.789
to be flawed because you can only and look at

00:42:57.789 --> 00:43:00.329
what we're seeing with AI like AI doesn't understand

00:43:00.329 --> 00:43:03.289
what it's like to be in a physical body to interact

00:43:03.289 --> 00:43:05.610
with the world like AI is just trying to take

00:43:05.610 --> 00:43:07.789
a bunch of stuff that someone else you know that's

00:43:07.789 --> 00:43:11.019
living on the internet and they're not I am what

00:43:11.019 --> 00:43:13.840

Thank you. To become a premium podcast subscriber,

00:44:55.179 --> 00:44:59.099
click the links in the show notes and see which

00:44:59.099 --> 00:45:02.420
plan is right for you. they don't it doesn't

00:45:02.420 --> 00:45:04.599
understand what it means to be human so there's

00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:06.760
even there's sort of like the computer version

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.800
of that which is like what do you what is it

00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.639
what do you need to really be able to feel like

00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:13.880
a human being and I think part of that is like

00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:15.679
making those mistakes and finding out what it

00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.679
feels like to be jealous or finding out what

00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.820
it feels like to let someone down or let yourself

00:45:20.820 --> 00:45:23.760
down or all of the above and so you know from

00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:26.559
I think that's such an important um part of his

00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:28.760
journey and why Cora has to go through everything

00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.099
that she has to go through like you only become

00:45:31.099 --> 00:45:34.860
human and understand your humanity and empathize

00:45:34.860 --> 00:45:36.920
with other people when you're really part of

00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:41.400
all of it, even the ugly stuff. Okay, last two

00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:46.119
questions. Sure. What is your favorite food and

00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:50.579
why? Oh, that's a really good question. This

00:45:50.579 --> 00:45:52.480
is I can't believe I'm going to say this. This

00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:55.880
is sounds insane. But one thing that I always

00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:57.960
come back to that I always love and I always

00:45:57.960 --> 00:45:59.780
feel kind of embarrassed by is like some kind

00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:03.099
of porridge. Like I love porridge. I love it's

00:46:03.099 --> 00:46:05.920
not noodles, but it's damn close. Like I love

00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:09.860
I love a savory like a Korean porridge or like

00:46:09.860 --> 00:46:14.630
a Hawaiian like, you know. like a morning like

00:46:14.630 --> 00:46:17.190
kind of savory porridge but I also love like

00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:19.949
oatmeal I used to eat a lot of cream of wheat

00:46:19.949 --> 00:46:21.369
when I was little now I can't have wheat anymore

00:46:21.369 --> 00:46:23.449
but you can have like all of the there's something

00:46:23.449 --> 00:46:27.869
about porridge that like I really love and my

00:46:27.869 --> 00:46:30.429
friends are like oh you like tasteless mush that's

00:46:30.429 --> 00:46:34.469
so cute but I'm like no you're missing it porridge

00:46:34.469 --> 00:46:37.989
is so good so I cannot believe that's the first

00:46:37.989 --> 00:46:39.510
thing that came to my mind but it truly is the

00:46:39.510 --> 00:46:47.130
first thing that came to my mind For me, it's

00:46:47.130 --> 00:46:52.409
sushi. I would literally eat sushi if I could

00:46:52.409 --> 00:46:55.829
eat every single meal of my day. Yeah, it's real

00:46:55.829 --> 00:46:59.369
high on my list, too. I mean, and the reason

00:46:59.369 --> 00:47:02.650
why is because when I grew up in New Jersey,

00:47:02.710 --> 00:47:06.869
before I moved to Pennsylvania, I went on this

00:47:06.869 --> 00:47:09.690
field trip with my, I forget what grade, I forget

00:47:09.690 --> 00:47:12.579
what. grade I was in. I think I was in preschool.

00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.400
We went on this field trip to the local grocery

00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:20.380
store and the people who were making the sushi

00:47:20.380 --> 00:47:23.139
there was like, who wants to try one? I was the

00:47:23.139 --> 00:47:25.900
only one in my class to raise my hand and I tried

00:47:25.900 --> 00:47:30.340
it. That's such a young age! She was literally

00:47:30.340 --> 00:47:32.599
having me spit it out thinking I was going to

00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.650
spit it out. I was like, I like this. that's

00:47:35.650 --> 00:47:39.610
that's really young to to not be asian and to

00:47:39.610 --> 00:47:41.429
like you know to have the exposure to sushi that

00:47:41.429 --> 00:47:43.590
young and to like understand it and appreciate

00:47:43.590 --> 00:47:46.789
it that's a that's really cool like i understand

00:47:46.789 --> 00:47:49.550
why that you stayed with it for and plus i have

00:47:49.550 --> 00:47:53.429
plus i have a sushi place up uh up the road for

00:47:53.429 --> 00:47:56.829
me that it's like you get uh three real special

00:47:56.829 --> 00:48:00.550
for like 12 and you get like eight pieces per

00:48:00.550 --> 00:48:03.090
roll oh that's great yeah sushi ain't always

00:48:03.090 --> 00:48:05.269
cheap so if you have a place you love that's

00:48:05.269 --> 00:48:07.889
reasonable then that definitely like enhances

00:48:07.889 --> 00:48:12.289
the addiction for sure and my last question is

00:48:12.289 --> 00:48:16.070
actually my last second question is would you

00:48:16.070 --> 00:48:20.260
ever consider playing core ever again Well, I

00:48:20.260 --> 00:48:23.340
wouldn't. I mean, I've done the voice for like

00:48:23.340 --> 00:48:25.380
video games and stuff because that's not like

00:48:25.380 --> 00:48:27.659
new original content. That's just sort of, you

00:48:27.659 --> 00:48:30.159
know, like get out of the way or like this one's

00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:34.739
for Asami. But even that I kind of walked away

00:48:34.739 --> 00:48:38.530
from. fairly recently but yeah I mean I think

00:48:38.530 --> 00:48:41.489
you know I just my experience of especially doing

00:48:41.489 --> 00:48:45.349
comic cons and stuff I've just met so many people

00:48:45.349 --> 00:48:50.670
non -binary female male whatever shape size form

00:48:50.670 --> 00:48:54.590
but I've met so many people of color who who

00:48:54.590 --> 00:48:57.630
are really interested in voiceover and for them

00:48:57.630 --> 00:49:01.849
Avatar the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra

00:49:01.849 --> 00:49:04.989
really opened that up for them in a way that

00:49:04.989 --> 00:49:07.889
they had not necessarily seen before. And so,

00:49:07.889 --> 00:49:13.690
you know, I just feel like, I just feel like

00:49:13.690 --> 00:49:17.110
it's too great of an opportunity for, you know,

00:49:17.110 --> 00:49:20.710
somebody who, to have the opportunity to portray

00:49:20.710 --> 00:49:23.489
someone who, you know, comes from a similar background.

00:49:23.550 --> 00:49:25.409
I don't think that has to happen every time.

00:49:25.510 --> 00:49:28.550
I'm not like, you know, I would never tell Dante,

00:49:28.630 --> 00:49:30.590
for example, like, you can only play a Filipino

00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:33.539
character. Like, that's not. fair I don't feel

00:49:33.539 --> 00:49:36.860
that way but in my case I just I've had such

00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:40.000
an extraordinary run and I'm so lucky and I continue

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.159
to get to interact with people because I will

00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:46.000
always have played you know that version of Korra

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:48.940
but I also feel like it would be really really

00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:53.769
cool to you know to see that expand into even

00:49:53.769 --> 00:49:56.230
you know the person behind the the character

00:49:56.230 --> 00:49:59.369
being a person of color and uh and i think that's

00:49:59.369 --> 00:50:01.510
something that's been you know important to to

00:50:01.510 --> 00:50:04.550
um avatar studios and to the world at large for

00:50:04.550 --> 00:50:07.050
a while so i'm excited to see it and you know

00:50:07.050 --> 00:50:09.269
i got to play wonder woman and i'm one of like

00:50:09.269 --> 00:50:13.329
50 women who's gotten to be the voice or portray

00:50:13.329 --> 00:50:16.150
wonder woman and and you know so i'm not like

00:50:16.150 --> 00:50:19.610
i'm wonder woman the one and only um and so in

00:50:19.610 --> 00:50:21.829
my mind i'm like well let's see what other you

00:50:21.829 --> 00:50:24.050
know there can be multiple koras why not like

00:50:24.050 --> 00:50:25.610
everybody brings something different to it so

00:50:25.610 --> 00:50:27.590
that's kind of a long -winded answer but that's

00:50:27.590 --> 00:50:30.969
sort of my feeling behind it well technically

00:50:30.969 --> 00:50:34.949
you are wonder woman to be honest well i'll take

00:50:34.949 --> 00:50:40.659
it last question real quick Where can people

00:50:40.659 --> 00:50:43.360
find you and follow you, et cetera? Sure. Well,

00:50:43.380 --> 00:50:49.139
I am a real IRL gal. So I don't post as often

00:50:49.139 --> 00:50:50.760
as maybe I should. Part of it is that I have

00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:53.039
a horrible neck problem and it feels real bad

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:55.039
to just sit on my phone or on a computer all

00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.119
day. So I kind of have to get in and get out.

00:50:57.179 --> 00:50:59.860
But you can find me on Instagram at the JV Club.

00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.559
And you can find me on Twitter at Janet Varney.

00:51:03.659 --> 00:51:08.000
And boy, I mean, I have I have been I have posted

00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:13.900
on TikTok. But like such a long time ago. I just

00:51:13.900 --> 00:51:16.500
need somebody who wants to like help me do all

00:51:16.500 --> 00:51:18.239
that, because, again, it's just such a it's such

00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:22.219
a time suck. And I have nothing but admiration

00:51:22.219 --> 00:51:24.519
for people who are like, you know, other than

00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:26.239
that, I couldn't live on TikTok. I just can't

00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:28.559
for all the reasons we just discussed. But anyway,

00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:30.500
so probably Twitter and Instagram are the best

00:51:30.500 --> 00:51:33.500
places. Or you can go to my website, Janet Barney

00:51:33.500 --> 00:51:37.440
dot com and and find out more stuff there. And

00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.489
thanks for having me on your pod. Definitely.

00:51:39.769 --> 00:51:42.909
And thank you for coming on. And I hope you come

00:51:42.909 --> 00:51:45.050
on in the future. Oh, totally. And we got to

00:51:45.050 --> 00:51:49.010
get Dante on too. Yeah, definitely. I heard he

00:51:49.010 --> 00:51:51.889
just got engaged and everything. He did. He did.

00:51:52.090 --> 00:51:54.789
And his fiance is fabulous. I've spent a ton

00:51:54.789 --> 00:51:56.670
of time with her and I absolutely love her. So

00:51:56.670 --> 00:51:59.190
I was very giddy when I found out that that was

00:51:59.190 --> 00:52:04.869
happening. I was excited for him too. Hopefully

00:52:04.869 --> 00:52:09.800
he doesn't turn her to the Fire Nation. You know

00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:13.360
what? I don't know what kind of a bender Alice

00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.659
would identify as, but I'm terribly afraid it

00:52:16.659 --> 00:52:20.139
might already be fire. Thinking about it. I got

00:52:20.139 --> 00:52:21.340
to get to the bottom of this. You have given

00:52:21.340 --> 00:52:24.420
me a very key task that I need to get into straight

00:52:24.420 --> 00:52:26.940
away. So thank you for that assignment. You didn't

00:52:26.940 --> 00:52:28.820
know you were giving me. I got to find out. I'm

00:52:28.820 --> 00:52:32.920
going to text her. Definitely. And tell Dante

00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:40.039
I say congratulations. Ask him to tell him please

00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:42.300
don't turn his fiancée into the Fire Nation.

00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.460
I will, but again, it might be too late. It might

00:52:46.460 --> 00:52:50.039
be too late, Jimmy. I hope you enjoy the rest

00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.079
of the day. Thank you. Don't get that fever back.

00:52:52.179 --> 00:52:55.099

00:52:55.099 --> 00:53:01.960

fist pumper, a woohooer, a hand clapper, a high

00:53:38.650 --> 00:53:40.730
