Hi everyone, I'm Joanna.

And I'm Jenny.

And this is hyphenated, the podcast about living in the hyphen.

Jenny, we've had a lot of guests on our podcast, a lot.

We have.

And a lot of them have been people in the music industry.

And every time we get these interviews booked, I'm always like,

I love music. I'm so dumb about music. Yeah, I only understand it to a certain extent because I played

clarinet for three years and piano for four and my undiagnosed ADHD got in the way and I didn't

go through with it. I played the piano for many years and then I quote unquote played the flute. I never made it sound. Me neither. I played it for two

years. Bro, I couldn't make it sound. Two years. I lied. I lied. I'd go to like the big,

like, school performances and I'd just go like and and my parents would be like oh my god you get away with

it.

We don't you do a performance with our friends and I was like oh you know my throat hurts a little bit

and my mom's like you're such a liar.

You don't know how to play this goddamn instrument, but I was so embarrassed that I couldn't

make it sound that I just like lied. You have to be a magician or an sorcerer to make the flute

make noise because I also tried when I was like, okay, let me see which one because they didn't

let us play percussion because I wanted to do the drums. And they're like, okay, I'm not playing no goddamn trumpet or trombone. I have asthma. And so let me try. The flute

didn't work. It's like gave up after a day. The clarinet. The clarinet. I mean, I got to say

the clarinet is always the instrument that the nerdy girl in every high school film that was made between the 90s

and early 2000s played.
