July 2022 Q&A

Transcript

Hey Moonbeams, seems like we just did this. Did we just do a Q&A? I think it seems that way because we're only on, well today is the 13th of July and it was not that long ago that I recorded the June Q&A and as you recall that's because I had COVID, wasn't recording for a couple weeks, and so all of the content recording, or almost all the content recording for June got pushed to the end of the month.

So I was just thinking, you know, felt like we just did one of these and that's probably also a big part of why there aren't quite as many questions this time around. But that's fine, that's fine. There were a lot last time so it's nice to to take a little bit easier this time.

Well let's jump into it. Jen wants to know if the hoodie audio still has the most views. You know what? Let's find out.

Hang on. So I've got my laptop here with me and we're gonna go to YouTube and YouTube Studio and let's go. Okay.

So, views. Sort by views. Yes, the hoodie audio still has the most.

It has 268,402 but close behind it is the Don't Cuddle Me audio. It's got fewer than a thousand less. It's 267,434 and then there's a drop to the next one.

The next one's the Period Comfort at 195,673. Others that have over a hundred thousand views, there's the Jealous Best Friend Confesses His Love, Waking Up Together, Home for Christmas, Caring for Your Man, Taking Care of You. These are titles.

And then You've Never Been More Beautiful. Those round out the ones that have more than a hundred thousand views. The Sleep Aid version of Lie With Me, Lie Here With Me, has 97,000 so it's it's coming up.

So tell your friends. Let's see if we can push stuff up to a million. Let's set our sights high.

Well I just inadvertently answered Jen's second question as well which is which one comes in second. Next up Cuddle Bug. Would you rather go into the past to meet your ancestors or in the future into the future and meet your great great-grandchildren?

Honestly I would have to say my past and it's not that I you know don't care about my great-great-grandchildren but I I have many freedoms, many wonderful things in my life that the ancestors who came before me you know the choices they made led to the life that I live and if anything I would want to go in the past to meet them and show them the wonderful things that came about because of their choices and and thank them for being who they were and providing for me the future well the present for me future for them that that I get to enjoy. Would you rather be super smart but not funny at all or really funny but very dumb? You know I'd rather be super smart but not funny as long as long as I was not oblivious to the fact that I was unfunny.

You know I wouldn't want to be like a very smart Michael Scott for example because that's just embarrassing. On a first date would you rather have hiccups the entire time or noticeably spill sauce on your shirt and yes you would have to leave the shirt on the whole time no you can't cover with anything. As if I would try to get out of it like that come on this question you thought I was gonna try to dodge the question.

Shame on you. I would probably rather noticeably spill some sauce on my shirt to be honest. I would rather just do that and and say accidents happen then have hiccups the entire time.

Now if I had to have hiccups the entire time it wouldn't be the end of the world but you know on a first date scenario mmm I could understand if she declined to go out with me again. Unrefined sugar. Okay I called out sugar last month for some you know not really terribly absurd nonsensical questions that they actually were more or less you know same and so so she says I hope these are to your satisfaction.

One would you rather be a neutron or a brain eating amoeba? You know what I would rather be an amoeba and the reason for that is I would get to like multiply and there would be a me party and it would be in a brain and we would be wreaking havoc and so you know depending on the havoc that we're wreaking the person whose brain is being eaten could also be you know partying in their half-eaten thoughts and like a neutron I just I just feel like I wouldn't feel attracted to anything. That was terrible.

I actually just thought of that right now but it was awful but that's what you get for that question. Maybe or sometimes why? That is a really good question.

I would probably I think I think my answer would be perhaps and why I mean it's self-evident. It's self-evident. If maybe is what happens all the time and sometimes is what happens all the time then two are gonna cancel themselves out.

It's much like multiplying negative numbers two together and the result would be an imaginary number but if you square that you get perhaps. That's why. Short or long grain rice and why? I'm really not as much of a rice connoisseur.

Maybe you could ask Kat. She probably knows more about rice than I do. I think I've got long grain in the pantry and why is probably because it's the rice I saw on the shelf first.

If you had to replace all your fingers and toes with one of your fingers which would it be? That's a oh and why is it your middle finger? Well I was gonna say my middle finger and I would I would say the reason is because it's the longest finger so it's like the king of fingers and so if you're gonna you know do this like go big or go home.

Okay what's the maximum times you can subtract 5 from 25? Well there's an infinite number of times you can do that you just get into negative numbers and you keep going. Duh.

I gave T-Rex $9 then I gave a scorpion $36 then I was still feeling generous so I gave an ant $27. Based on that how much money would I give a capybara? I think that the capybara would probably owe you money.

Probably $17.48. Caroline and and sugar those those were more to my expectations although you know I think that the the the maximum number of times that you subtract 5 from 25 I mean that one was that was a little bit give me some better math next time okay come on just saying. Love you sugar.

Caroline Caroline wants to know how hard is it for you to stick to a diet and workout routines? You know my work schedule can be rather variable and so it can be hard to stick to a workout schedule simply because it can be be hard to have a regular schedule but I really don't I really don't have well I used to work out a lot more then COVID happened and I got out of the habit of going to the gym and I need to get back to it so thank you for reminding me of that. As far as sticking to a diet I don't really have trouble sticking to a diet I I'm not afraid to be hungry if that's what I need to do in order to maintain the weight that I need that I that I want to have I mean I'm not talking about starvation or anything but I understand that if I'm a little bit hungry in between meals it's not gonna kill me so I really don't have that hard of a time sticking to a diet and I decided recently that I wanted to lose some weight and I'm down 10 pounds and going strong so there's that.

Do you get along well with children? I typically do I typically do I tend to be relatively patient with them try to remember that you know it's not their fault that they're kids and and act like act like they're kids but um yeah every once in a while I get a little bit I wouldn't say irritated I'd say more annoyed annoyed. What's the luckiest thing to ever happen to you? Oh gosh well honestly I would say the luckiest thing and it's not really all luck but with my education I got to go to the school I wanted and program I wanted and get into the field that I wanted and that was not entirely luck a lot of it was my hard work but you know there was an aspect of luck too because there was I I had to interview for a spot in my program and I drew just luck of the draw drew an interviewer that I really hit it off well with and we just had a great time and my acceptance letter to the program practically beat me home so I think that was a big stroke of luck in my favor to get that particular interviewer.

Do you get easily angry or are you usually calm for the most part? I can get agitated but it's very rare that I get angry I used to get angry a lot more when I was younger and I realized that that's not who I wanted to be and so I worked really hard to learn to restrain myself bite my tongue remember to give people the grace that I want people to give me and I have my temper under really good control. Next, Amanda have you ever met a celebrity actor or voice actor that you've always wanted to meet if so what was the most memorable experience?

Well I a few years ago I did meet another member of the voice acting community we were good friends at the time unfortunately that friendship has it went sour and and we are no longer friends and I'd prefer not to go into any more explanation than that to be honest. Do you prefer a paper planner or notebook to a digital one? No I use I am an Android phone guy and I use Google Calendar and that's how I keep on top of stuff because a paper planner won't give me notifications.

How many national parks have you been to and which ones are on the top of your list gosh let me think I haven't been to that many I think I've been to five and you know I I want to visit a lot of them I'd really like to go to I was one in Hawaii's Volcano National Park I think that's one and Carlsbad Caverns was pretty pretty awesome when I went there I really enjoyed that there's just it's such a beautiful country that we have here and the national parks are stunning and I would like to someday you know maybe in my retirement.
