Episode transcription:
A: Hi guys thanks for tuning in this is the trailer for
J: Are we, are we doing the trailer now?
A: Yeah!
J: Oh, okay!
A: Wait, What Were We Doing: The ADHD Podcast.
J: I don't even think I know what a podcast is.
A: We don't really know what we're doing, to be honest.
J: Don't judge me.
A: But bear with me, and I will tell you exactly what our plan is.
J: and I'm gonna be real honest.
A: Does that mean that is going to come to fruition? No, probably not, but it's fun to start with a plan. My name is Aly, I have ADHD
A: I'm not dead yet!
J: [scoffs]
A: and for me that comes with a lot of impulsive actions,
A: Noo.. I want shoes.
A: about five Bajillion thoughts,
A: You wanna hear something fucked up? Can I talk about this real quick before we finish the trailer?
A: and so so many discarded projects.
A: I need something to do [burb]
A: I've tried YouTube and TikTok.
J: You can have all of them if you want, I don't care.
A: Personally though the idea of hosting a podcast on my own
A: sounds so bad like I wouldn't listen that fucking podcast.
A: is like rip your eyelids off boring so I decided to drag in my friend Jenna.
A: What was it? Just like, Jenna please make a podcast with me PLEASE?!?
J: No, it was like.. [Fades off]
A: she has ADHD also
J: like I will be like ready to go to bed and then like I just I just won’t.
A: and we’ve known each other for about three years and for some godforsaken reason she agreed to do this podcast with me.
J: Okay yes, BUT it'll be good for me. [giggle]
A: I will tell you right off the bat
J: I am not a man, I am a woman. My voice might sound like a man's but I just have a very deep voice.
A: that we are two very stubborn women
J: probably one of those people that gives the unsolicited advice no one wants to hear
A: [scoffs]
A: with very short attention span's
A: this is a total fucking tangent uhm but I really do wanna have this conversation because I'm curious about the office chair.
A: Our conversations can get a bit chaotic but that also means there's never a dull moment between Jenna and myself.
A: You never know what's gonna happen next.
J: That is true.
A: Because even we don't know what.
J: We don't even know what we're gonna do next. Kind of like one of those choose your own adventure books!
A: Each episode we will pick a different topic that somehow relates back to ADHD, mental health, or
A: Jenna wants to have a whole episode just about dogs
[laughter]
A: This is very morbid, listen to this.
A: Our plan is to release episodes biweekly. You SHOULD be able to find us an all of the places you cast your pods.
J: all the podcasty places.
A: and we encourage you to interact with us directly on Twitter! Which I personally run, but Jenna will occasionally pop on.
J: Uhh, I forgot to like that.
A: Lastly, trust me when I say there will be plenty of weird ramblings,
J: We’ll kill you. I mean..
[laughter]
J: We can't really do that.. we can’t say that..
A: helpful tips,
J: I like to educate.
A: unrelated facts,
A: Nooo, [hammer clinking against rocks] I'm an archeologist. Archeologists don't use brushes!
A: and obvious distractions.
A: When I like people, I bother the fuck out of them until they hang out with me.. Jenna, we never put away the candles.
J: That’s okay.
A: because no matter how hard Jenna and I try to stay focused we are constantly asking each other, “wait what were we doing?”
[laughter]
A: We've gotta have some sort of sign off! Bye guysssss
J: BYEEE
J&A: BYEBYEEEEEE
Episode Description:
Jenna and Aly are making a podcast but they don’t even know what they’re doing! Here’s their plan, let’s see if they can do it.
If you have ADHD, or know someone with ADHD, you’re well aware of the tragic cycle of coming up with a todo list or plan and never completing it. We have no idea what we’re doing and we’re trying to figure it out as we go. This is hopefully an interesting tidbit of information of what we plan to make the podcast about. Future episodes will be more in-depth looks into ADHD and ADHD related topics, but until then, we need to figure out what we’re doing!
