 Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can normally catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project with the hope that deeper understanding creates deeper appreciation. But on today's bonus episode, instead of catching quick explanations, you'll catch some quick bloopers. The end of the year is a time where many people and many cultures gather together. And whether you observe traditions of light or faith, compassion or celebration from everyone here at the WordPress Briefing Podcast, we're wishing you a happy festive season and a very happy new year. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the laughs and outtakes from recording the WP Briefing over the year. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress. This is the thing I've done 25 times, and I know how to do it for reals. Welcome to WordPress Briefing, episode 20, oh no, 7, 27, 26. So 27, I know how many things I've done. Ooh, neat. This is Josepha recording episode 46 of the WP Bonus Briefings. Not because we've had 46 bonus briefings, but because this is a 46 one and it is a bonus. It will also have a fancy name, but right now I'm just calling it the bonus. It's going to be quick. Here I go. Group them into two big buckets, themes, themes and tools. I'm going to have to redo the whole thing. No. I thought I could save it and I didn't save it. I had a typo in my script and then I messed it up. It said into you big buckets instead of into two big buckets. I'm going to start over from the target release date because I kind of smeared it all together, despite what I intended to do. And gives everyone, no, what is this ringing of phones? Oh, I was doing so well. Where was I? Let's see if I can just pick it up. Alrighty. Live from my closet. It's episode 20, the WordPress briefing, WP briefing. So I have a title for this and when I started writing it, I really had every intention of writing it to the title. And then what I wrote doesn't fit the title at all, but does really hang together well. And so we're going to come up with a new title. It's called So Many Ways to WordPress. Here in a minute, you will see why it doesn't fit. Also, at the end, I feel like I get very like angry nerd leader. And so I may, I may at the end, end give that a second go and see if there's a way that I can soften it a little bit, but I don't know that I can soften it. I feel very strongly about it. Maybe I am just an angry nerd leader. Okay, I'll get us started now that I apparently have filled the room with apologies. Not the room, the closet. We'll figure out something very catchy as a title or as an alternative, very descriptive. And people will click on it because they must know, but we'll figure out the title later. At WordPress.org, however, I don't know why I decided to do an invitation to email me in the middle of that. I'm going to start from the top of that paragraph. I just got too excited by the opportunity to get mail. I gotta slow it down. I'm like the fastest talker had too much coffee. Okay, slowing it down now. Huh, what am I saying? No, no, that's what I'm saying. It's fine. I can do this. Hold on. Ew! Sorry. I was adjusting my microphone and then it fell down. I happened to be holding it at the time so it didn't like slam down, I think, and hurt your ears. And so I apologize. Good thing I stopped. So it didn't just like slam down in the middle of a recording. That's all right. I'm going to give myself that win even though it's a hollow one. All right. Trying again. Starting right there. Now since this year, it starts October 18th, 2001. That's the year. No, 2021. That's the year. Oh man, I'm doing such a great job of this. I'm recording this slightly before you're hearing it. How am I going to start this? Hold on. I don't know how to start this. All right. I can do it. I'm so glad I remembered we had guests. That could have been so embarrassing. Now for me, the trade-offs work well. How many times can I say now? Do I just start every sentence with now now? Is this just how I do things? Now, now, now, now. I'm going to start all over again because I am in my head about the words in my mouth now. So in some near timeframe, some near timeframe, this is not a thing that people say. Dustin, I'm sorry. That's not a thing people say. I'm just going to retry that one sentence to sound like I speak with other human beings sometime. Today is the start. I can do these things. This was a terrible ending. I need to just finish that last part. I'm going to redo the part where I started with my name and not the name of the podcast and we'll do that. And if you're supporting or building anything to hand off to clients, you know that timely, easy-to-ship changes on a site are considered a vital part of any overarching brand and marketing strategy. Wow. It's like I don't know what words are right there. I tripped over my own tongue a lot. I'm going to do that paragraph again because I didn't do a very good job of it. I'll do a better job. I literally digressed and now I don't know where I am in my thing. What was I saying? Oh, there we go. Tofer DeRosha who founded Wordpress. Holy moly. I knew I was going to say that and I was like, don't say that when you actually get around to saying this, but here I am. And I did it even though I knew I was going to do it and I told myself not to. Doing it again right from there. Not which audience segment. Oh man, audience is not a word, folks. I was on a roll. I'm going to start right from the primary thing. I don't even remember how I started this podcast. What is the last thing I said? I said, here we go. All right. I kind of covered some interesting ground. And so, oh no, this is not where I'm going to start it. I know exactly where I'm going to start it. Okay. I'm really ready now. Here we go. I suddenly, I'm going to pause right here because I suddenly got real worried that I didn't actually hit record. Oh my gosh. I did. I'm all over the place. Okay. We will now continue. Wait, did I? Oh my goodness. I did. Super sorry of the WordPress briefing. I'm going to do some singing in the middle of some talking, but I keep trying to talk myself out of the singing. So I'm going to go ahead and do the singing and then I'll do the talking before I talk myself out of the singing. Here I go, probably. I added a word. That was so good. I'm going to start again. I'm going to get some water and then I'm going to start again. Not again again, just from the end, finally. I don't know how I finished my show. Y'all, I do this literally every week. I never know how to finish my show. Here we go. I don't know why I shouted at you from the other side of the tiny closet. I apologize. I'm going to start again from, and finally. Ta-da. We did it. Ha ha. I hate it. I hate the whole podcast. It's going to be fine. Done. Nailed it. With that, I'm your host, Josepha Hayden-Champosi. Merry Christmas from me. Happy holidays to you. And we'll see you again in the new year. Done.
