00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.120
Hello, bunker people.
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:05.360
It's me, Sophie Hagen, the person whose podcast it is that you are listening to.
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:13.599
I have just made a radical decision to not keep stopping and re-recording this message for you.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:25.199
I kept uh just m mumbling and saying annoying things, and I am gonna let that happen, because otherwise I will literally never finish this and post it.
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.320
What I need to tell you is we're gonna take a few weeks where there will be no new episode.
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.880
And I have reasons to uh explain this with, one of which is I have a twitching eyelid.
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:47.600
My eyelid is just constantly twitching, and I looked it up, and the internet was like, Oh, are you by any chance stressed?
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.560
And um, I was like, Oh, that's funny, you should mention it internet.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.479
Oh, yeah, uh, really a lot stressed, actually.
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:03.679
And um, I was sitting this morning, I was trying to be like, Right, I need to edit this next episode, and you know, when your brain is just like, yeah, no, we're not gonna do that.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.359
Actually, we're not gonna do that.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:23.519
And your finger is like, even though you like you're you're try you believe in body autonomy, but still your finger is like on the computer mouse, and it's like dragging the mouse down to like Yay app, and then you open the Sims 4, and your brain goes, Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:40.400
And then instead of actually editing the podcast you're meant to be editing, um, you create a a Sims character in the Sims who um goes to uni and finishes uni and gets a real job, and you're like, imagine.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.400
Just imagine that.
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:44.879
Imagine.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.959
Uh, she's also doing yoga every day.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:47.760
It's incredible.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.040
She's living the life.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.560
Um, I am burning out.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:51.920
I'm burned out.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:02:03.040
I am exha constantly exhausted, constantly exhausted, and this morning I had to just capitulate and be like, do you know what?
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.959
I'll be back after I've been to London.
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.520
Now, I'm recording this a little bit in advance.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.680
I'm recording this a week before it comes out.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:18.479
This uh little little bit is gonna come out on the 10th of November, which is two things.
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.000
It's one, my birthday.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.479
You might be listening to this on my birthday, where I turn 38.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.080
Uh, or if you work in show business and you're listening, um 28.
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:44.800
And

I'm also, when you listen to this, I'm in London and I'm doing my show, I think some of this is my fault, at a Soho Theatre uh all week from the 9th to the 15th of November.
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.120
And I would love for you to come and see the show.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.759
I would really, really love that.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:59.520
It does just mean that this this week, this week now, before, where I'm recording this, I'm I just have so much I have so much to do, and I've just been sick for two weeks.
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.759
So everything has just been piling up, and my head is exploding, and I'm not sleeping, and I just listen.
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:42.080
We're listening to our bodies, we're listening to our minds, and you are listening to a self-produced podcast, meaning no one's gonna do this for me, there is no team, I'm not paying anyone to do anything, so I'm afraid we are relying on a mentally uh fragile, mentally fragile, overstimulated, probably autistic um person who's also living with a parent even though they are old now and everything's a little bit much.
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:57.439
But once I come back from London, uh I am gonna dedicate just a lot of time to edit the next many episodes of the podcast, so you should be getting just a a regular stream of them for the next many months.
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.439
But I appreciate you.
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.520
I appreciate you listening to this.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.039
I appreciate your support.
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.840
I appreciate you, I just appreciate you.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.520
I just appreciate you, is what I'll say.
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:16.000
And maybe this is a good time for you to jump onto Patreon and or Substack.
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:32.160
And um I've just I've just posted a longer, like a 40-minute video where I just chat about my life and I give a few more details about what's going on in my life, and I tell you some hot showbiz gossip and all of that.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:37.759
And there will be a lot of um bonus episodes from this podcast up there already.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:47.680
So maybe as we take a couple of weeks off, you go to uh and become a patron or a substacker, a substacker, and you go and uh look through some of those.
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.120
There's a lot of that's a lot, listen, there's so much content out there for you.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.920
Uh so you needn't be bored.
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.839
You needn't be bored.
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.040
Uh there was something more I wanted to say.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.759
Oh, this is this is I don't want to.
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:02.959
Should I?
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.639
I should plug my tour.
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.079
I'm gonna plug my tour.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.240
I'm just gonna tell you that we've added um Bristol and Belgium to my tour list.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.560
Now, you also know that I'm going many, many more places than that.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:26.879
You know that I am going to see this is where I would usually just start recording it from scratch, but this feels important.
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.839
Uh I'm going to Copenhagen, Ulsen, Aarhus, Rotterdam, Berlin, uh, and in Belgium.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.639

And then Reading, Brighton, Cambridge, uh, and London and Exeter.
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.800
And I have been speaking to Belfast, which we will also be adding very soon.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.759
I think that's the end of November, that's gonna be announced.
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.439
And I'm very, very excited.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.680
And I uh can't wait to see you all uh, especially at Bristol and Bristol, Belgium, and Belfast.
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:10.720
The three B's.
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.800
I'm really excited that we get to add those.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.079
That is so much fun.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.319
And you might be like, what about Cardiff?
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.040
What about Wales?
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.720
Listen, you just gonna have to trust me that I am trying.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.519
And my tour producer is trying.
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:31.279
Sometimes all we can do is send the emails and hope that someone replies.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.399
Like, what what more what more what do I do?
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.439
Bring a tent and a hundred chairs and then hope for the best.
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:43.120
I a lot of this is just relying on venues saying, oh, hi, we've seen your email.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.279
Yes, you can come and do a show.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.720
And sometimes that doesn't happen, and I don't know what else to do.
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.839
It is not, I don't have a hatred uh for um, I don't have a hatred of Ireland and Wales.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:06.480
Um, I only have an an ever so slight tiny annoyance with the administrational skills of some of the people who work in some of the venues.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.639
Um so I hope we can add, I hope we can add more.
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.480
But till then, I guess you're just gonna have to come to London.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.120
I'm sorry.
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.360

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:26.319
I just can't wait, it's gonna be so much fun, and I promise I will return ASAP with uh this podcast.
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.600
And um hey, isn't it at least something that you don't have to listen to adverts?
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:40.800
I know if you have like if you l if you watch on YouTube and you don't have YouTube Premium, or if you listen on Spotify and you don't have Spotify Premium, I know you will get ads.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.000
But if you listen on any other podcast app, there's no ads.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:45.680
Isn't that at least nice?
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.319

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.800
