All right, welcome back to Fun on Weekdays, podcast everyone. I am Jenna, your host and today I'm with my friend Anna Hilldrift.

0:07.4

Hello, everyone. I'm super excited to be here. Last night we were talking about how Anna's voice sounds like Miley Cyrus.

0:15.3

So yeah, you might agree, you might disagree, but I've gotten that a million times in my life.

0:20.8

Like Jenna said, my name's Anna and when I was little, I'd go to summer camp every summer and they called me Anna Montana

0:26.7

because they're like, you sound exactly like Miley. So I've been getting it since I was, since I was young, yeah.

0:32.3

But anyways, we need to hear like a sweet niblets or something. Yeah, like, kick it off.

0:36.4

Dang, sweet niblets. I don't have something like that, but I'm a little raspy, but I cannot sing like her.

0:42.3

So do not ask me if I sing like Miley because the answer is no.

0:46.3

We're a little raspy or the usual. Yeah, we went to an event last night. It was a tequila event and we pre-gamed it with gas station wine.

1:15.1

Anyways, happy to have Anna here and it was one of my first friends when I moved to Austin.

1:19.2

We moved here right around the same time, but you moved here from North Carolina.

1:23.6

Yes. So when did you moved to Austin?

1:26.0

I moved in July of 2020. So I started my job at home at my parents' house because it was the middle of the pandemic in June.

1:33.2

And I wanted to save a few paychecks before I moved here so that I would have a little safety belt financially before I moved here.

1:39.7

So. And you started your job at Oracle. Everyone in Austin, Texas works at Oracle.

1:46.8

So I was a part of the fraternity authority, whatever you want to call it.

1:51.5

Yeah, I wanted to talk about Oracle a little bit because I feel like most of the people that I met when I first moved to Austin worked for Oracle.

1:59.2

I met you. I met some of your friends and you would always hang out with the Oracle people and it was really just such a good way to meet people, I think.
