Hey Amanda! Glad to hear you are in the regular PANTS rotation now. I know in the episode of ICBA you did with Sean you mentioned your marathon goal for 2024, good luck with that!! Im sure you will crush it and shave more than 10 minutes off your time. You said you were a runner in the past, what were some of your personal records (5k/10k/etc)? Also, do you have any memorable running stories you might want to share?

Edit: So I realized I will be listening to your response during my 3rd marathon on Sunday! I have the Nintendo drive and post show queued up to listen to first followed by this pants episode. So just guessing but I will probably be hearing your responses around mile 16 or so. Bonus question: what shoes do you run in I am currently running this race in my most comfy pair of Asics Noosas.

Thanks for doing the episode and for all the awesome content you create!

How do you balance your time? I'm trying to make sure I'm getting enough sleep, spending time with family, staying active and enjoying some game time while also working 40 hours per week. Do you do a time budget?

Greetings Amanda. I am so excited to hear that you are Part of the Pants rotation now. I thought it might be a great opportunity for the community to get to know you a bit - so here is my question - one based on music.

How would you describe the playlist of your life's journey so far? Imagine putting a playlist together with 7-8 songs that describe the HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS of your life up to this point. Did you have meaningful songs that told a part of how you felt? Careless Whisper would for me be the very first time I fell head over heels for someone.

You are totally free in how you compose your playlist. These will be the Evergreen songs that reflect emotions and situations you have dealt with.

Wishing you lots of fun with your song selection.

How do you deal with the social aspects of being a vegan? For example, I found it challenging to cook vegan meals for myself but then cooking separate meals for my family. Or when I'd go camping, I'd have to bring  my own vegan hot dogs and burgers to eat. Am I just making a big deal out of small things?

Have you yet decided what new "thing" you want to learn in 2024?

If you could be French toast, what would you want next to you? Patty sausage, bacon, or scrambled eggs? Or all of the above? #FoodWarsNeverEnds

Hi Myles of Underscore Amanda - wondering what your musical taste is like? Favorite artist/band?

Hi Amanda 👋 I was wondering if you had any go-to video games or genres that helped you refresh after playing an in-depth and/or difficult game? For me, I had finished Fire Emblem: Engage and then went to Mario Wonder to help refresh since it was a nice relaxed/kickback kind of game experience.

Sending the best for 2024!

Hey Amanda! Hope you are well. You've mentioned that you work in gaming and I'm curious to know if it's a particular console company or a developer maybe. Would love to learn more.
