We're Back!

WEBVTT
00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:07.200
Hello, welcome back to We Never Learn.
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:08.960
This is Julie and this is Deep.
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.800
And we are back after a really, really long break.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.000
Woohoo! And we're be ready to kick off season two.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.600
Yes, we're back in the studio slash closet.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:20.879
The actual studio.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.440
Because the last two episodes, I think, and the last uh before when the pandemic hit, we were doing oh yeah, we did remote recordings.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:27.920
Right.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:29.839
But now we're back in our actual studio.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.879
Yay! Yeah.
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.039
And took us a while to get back because the remote recordings wasn't for gosh.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:35.679
Oh gosh, no.
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.320
And you know, with us not being able to do much last year, you know, we didn't really have much to talk about.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:41.119
Right, exactly.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.960
Except being home.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.600
We'll talk more about what we um did the last uh year and a half.
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.240
Exactly.
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.799
But right now, how is uh thing how are things going uh currently?
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:55.679
Deepa?
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.960
Well, I think better than the last episode when we signed off.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.679
Right, yeah, which was the start of the pandemic.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.079
Yes, and it was the start of a very long summer.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.519
Very long last year.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.280
Very, very, very long.
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.480
And uh well, now school's back in person.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.359
So thankfully, no more virtual school.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:16.159
Right.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.840
Um, you know, the kids are wearing masks, which is great.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.799
Yes, I'm so happy.
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.560
I really do think that is helping.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:32.480
Um, and so even though it's very hectic now because they're back to their you know, after school activities, after school clubs, and I'm just basically a glorified Uber now.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.680
Oh, yeah, exactly.
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:49.040
Um, I think it's better than having them home for eight hours, uh, you know, then and my husband home for all that work time and them fighting all each other for you know who's who's so loud and please stop talking.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.319
I'm on the phone and I'm trying to listen to the teacher and all that.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:52.879
Right.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:53.920
That was hard.
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:54.400
Yeah.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.159
So it is nice that they are back.
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:57.040
Yeah, it is nice.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:58.319
And they're happy too.
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.239
They are happy socially, especially.
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.560
Yeah.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.040
And they actually don't mind the masks.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.000
Like my oldest one was saying, Yeah, you forget it's on your face.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.159
Yeah, they don't they don't really complain about it.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.039
No, no.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:17.039
And uh now we're just looking forward to the fall and cooler temperatures and Halloween and Thanksgiving and everything that goes with that.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:17.919
Me too.
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:18.719
So ready.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.800
And we're not really getting any reprieve here in South Florida yet.
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:23.680
From the weather.
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:24.080
Right.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.960
It was still warm.
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:25.280
Yeah.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.719
But by the time this episode comes out, though, it might be cooler.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.639
Well, because we record in advance.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.639
So you know here's hoping.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.680
Yeah, sometimes our spoken word has a lot of power.
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:36.879
So yes.
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.280
And with that comes a lot of responsibility.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.360
And I'm hoping wisely.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.840
Yeah, and now that we've said it, you know it's coming.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:44.319
It's coming.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:44.719
It's coming.
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:45.759
I think next week.
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:46.080
Yeah.
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.360
Maybe tomorrow.
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:55.439
No, I actually have gotten this is what I do at this time of year is I look 15 days out, like hoping for that.
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:56.479
You look 15?
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.560
I looked till the beginning of November.
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.319
However far I can see, I'm like looking for that dip in the temperature.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.360
Because the AccuWeather app has it for the month out.
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:05.919
Oh nice.
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.159
And so I looked all the way up to November 1st.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:08.719
It is not.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:17.439
Well, I mean, we've got low 80s, kind of in the mid mid-August, which, you know, it's better than the low 90s, is which what we what we have now.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:25.439
So yeah, like now that we're approaching October, it's like um mid-80s, but it's still humid.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.400
So if we can get rid of that humidity, then it'll be nice.
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.039
I know.
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:29.919
Tomorrow.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.319
Yeah.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:30.879
Tomorrow.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.560
It's happening tomorrow.
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.199
Humidity's just gonna sweep out of here.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.039
It's miraculous.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.439
So now we we kind of talked about with school, um, with the hecticness.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:48.960
My son, uh oldest one, is in marching band, which is taking up so much of our time, but he is loving it.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:58.560
And it's so funny because when he does band, it's like after school for several hours and he's getting home and he's rushing through trying to get homework and all that.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.919
But he's like, the days that he doesn't have band, he's like, These are the worst days.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.039
So not having band, you know.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.639
He likes to have band, and you know, that he's doing the marching band, although they haven't gotten to do too much marching because it's just rainy here all the time.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah.
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.959
And they have a small band this year because of COVID, I think.
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.800
Yeah, I think people are a little worried.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.519
Yeah, but they they they're getting there, and he's loving it, so that's the important part.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.839
And you know, the bus situation I've struggled with a lot.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.160
You have too, but uh, you know, we have a bus shortage across the US.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.439
Yes, a bus driver shortage, not the bus, but the bus driver.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.720
And we've had just had issues with buses just not showing up or fit showing up like an hour late.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:54.160
And you know, I'm at so I'm having to do more picking up of kids at school, which I don't mind the drive over there, but picking them up when it's dismissal time is even if you go a little bit past dismissal, it's still so hectic.
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.480
So many cars of traffic, that's what I hate.
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:56.959
I know.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.319
I hate I I just I will do anything to avoid being in a car car line.
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.560
Even if it means my kids just sitting out there waiting for well, I they have their phones, they have entertainment.
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:17.519
You know, if you go out there with the car line and pick them up and by the time you get out of the car line versus having them wait for it to empty out, right?
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.199
You're still leaving the same time.
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.800
Oh, yeah, because you uh you know, I see people as I'm leaving, they're just pulling right up.
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.319
Yeah, I've been sitting in a car line.
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.680
No, I'm not I'm not doing that, you know.
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.360
And then yeah, it's just like it's it's it's been hectic.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:39.680
But hopefully they'll figure that out because that that would be a huge help for me, not having to um worry about picking them up.
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.399
And I have three kids in three different schools, so the pickup times are all staggered and it gets it's crazy.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.560
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it does.
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:56.240
And being away from the podcasting for so long, I forgot how to set things up yesterday when I was trying to like do a test run.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.399
I was like, where does this cable go?
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.399
And I could not remember where the mixer uh adapter.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.759
And I was like, How do I put this has to get power from someone?
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:13.120
You would you would think that I would remember basic, but I I I realized I had it still in place from last year.
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.800
So our producers didn't help you?
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:15.759
No, they didn't have it all.
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.959
They didn't have it all hooked up, no, no.
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:26.240
And I was like all stressed, and then my sons texted me, the bus isn't coming to pick to to take me to school because he was outside out front.
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:26.959
And I was like, What?
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.240
So you had to go driving to school.
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.639
Yeah, and the whole time I'm like, where is that adapter?
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.000
But luckily I found it.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:32.319
Yeah.
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:47.120
Like and and it was good because on my way back from dropping them off, I was like, maybe it's still plugged into the, you know, in where we record in the fancy studio office that we I mean closet that we record, and it was still there.
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.480
We're so fancy.
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.759
We really are.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:07:00.720
Well, with all this um you know, school craziness and everything, of course, we've gotten the numerous, numerous calls from school about various things.
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.720
But have you gotten the call, an email about the school TikTok challenge?
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.360
Oh, yeah.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.279
My my son, before we started getting those, what it was going on in his school.
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:11.600
Yeah.
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.319
They were somebody tried to steal a stall door.
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:14.639
Yeah.
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.040
Like, where do you where do you think you're gonna go with that?
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:27.120
Yeah, my daughter said, before I even knew it was a TikTok challenge, she was telling me on the way to school one day in the car that there's this new TikTok challenge where kids are stealing things.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:34.480
Like, I mean, bathroom sinks, yeah, door stalls, like you said, the soap dispensers, all these things are stealing.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.199
Damaging ceiling tiles and you know, and then they go and post it on TikTok.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.720
And is I think it's called like devious lick because I don't know what it's called.
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.120
Lick is supposed to mean like suc like stealing something or like successfully stealing something.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:47.920
I did not know that.
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:48.240
Yeah.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.920
I would ask devious lick.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.519
Was that are they licking things in the bathroom?
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:52.800
Well, that is pretty devious.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:53.439
That's nasty.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.360
I'm like, come on, we're in COVID here.
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199
Please don't lick anything.
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:04.319
But then uh I was just so out of it, I was like, oh, I l it said in the article like a lick was you know, like a steal, a theft.
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.360
I would not have known that.
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.399
Yeah, me either.
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:17.680
But you I've gotten numerous emails and calls about um the consequences of that and school consequences and legal, like yeah, you know, get in trouble with the law.
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.360
I I don't I just don't understand kids these days.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:30.399
And I know I sound really old saying that, but come on, is there nothing else you could do except steal a bathroom stall door?
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.199
I know.
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.440
I mean, what happened to the good old days of smoking behind the bleachers?
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:46.879
I, you know, I thought the worst that could happen was, you know, I think the last year we were in school, I would get a lot of um don't vape calls.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.320
Yes, yeah, the vape was a vape.
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.039
From school.
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:54.720
And I thought that was the biggest deal, you know, that that they could possibly call about.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:56.879
Of course I'm wrong.
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.200
I mean, there's so many things.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:07.039
I mean, they go through code reds, and now they're wearing masks, and now on top of all that, they thought it was a great decision to steal stuff from school.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.600
And I'm not talking about pencils and erasers.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:10.080
No.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.519
This is and why be stealing like soap dispensers during a pandemic?
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.039
We need that soap.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:31.679
My son said um when he was uh on the bus coming home from school, he saw a kid uh riding his bike home with two toilet paper rolls on each arm, uh, like big ones.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:32.639
You know, like the big ones.
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.639
Yeah, that are in the yeah, they're huge.
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.200
You know how big the rolls are in the public bathrooms.
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:37.600
Yeah.
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.679
One on each arm, riding his bike home.
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.480
Oh my gosh.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.360
So you know he took them from the school bathroom.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:44.559
Oh my gosh.
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.080
They're so ridiculous.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:56.799
Well, our superintendent even put out a video and she was saying, we have cameras, and then people are posting this online, you know, like really, we you will get caught.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.279
Yeah, you know, and then and then what you're seeing, what you're not seeing on these TikTok things is the consequences that these kids now.
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.200
This is not just a Florida thing, right?
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.480
It's nationwide.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.559
I know Florida is special in many ways.
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:09.840
The Florida man.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:11.840
This is nationwide.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:12.960
Florida man's child.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.080
This is nationwide, right?
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:16.879
Yes, it is.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.480
It's a it's a big deal.
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:23.440
I think I think the kids were like, well, how can we make this school year even more challenging?
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.080
Exactly.
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.480
Uh let's steal major things.
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:27.919
I don't know.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.240
Yeah, it's uh it's crazy.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:47.519
And my, you know, hopefully they get a handle on this, and unfortunately, they'll probably have to make an example out of some kids, you know, and do it and enforce strict consequences because you know that the last thing the schools need to be dealing with right now is theft of things in the bathroom.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.039
I support the consequences.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.080
Yeah, me too.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.080
So what else is in the news?
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.759
Uh so yes.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.799
There I think it was last week or it was last week.
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.120
Well, you said you sent it to me over the weekend.
00:10:59.279 --> 00:10:59.440
Right.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:10:59.759
Yeah.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:04.000
Uh a woman put her grocery list to her husband and it went viral.
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:13.279
And it was like a very detailed uh grocery list with like pictures, a map of the store with the layout of like where these things were.
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.159
And these aren't picture.
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:19.279
I mean, she like printed out pictures from the products and put them on there.
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.919
And the whole article was about the men are men doing this on purpose.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.039
You know, they call it strategic incompetence.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.799
Um, they've also said like weaponized incompetence or performative.
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.600
I actually like strategic because it's, you know.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.000
I I do think it's strategic incompetence.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:36.480
Right.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.440
You know, I I don't know if I would go as far as weaponized.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.279
No, I weaponized is is really, you know, sounds more you know, I would like mean.
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.519
I like to think it's more strategic than weaponized.
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.879
Yeah, like they're just like, you know, oh, I can't, you know, I'm better at this with you.
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:57.039
And you know, I think everybody does it because I uh well sometimes, you know, I'm I am very tech savvy.
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:02.559
Uh, you know, I was a software engineer and when I was younger, but yet I'll still be like, How do I do this?
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.559
So maybe you know what?
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.960
I do the same thing because my husband's in IT.
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.600
And you know, before I met him, I used to hook everything up myself.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:10.559
I know how to do my own.
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.159
You know, set my own computers up.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.759
I would do the sound system and the TV, all, but now I don't touch it.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.080
Yeah.
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.679
I'm like, well, this is your department.
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.159
Kids have computer problems, ask your dad.
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:20.480
Yeah.
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.320
Even though I know I could figure it out.
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.639
You know, I just like I just so we all kind of do it, but they have a third term, they call it performative incompetence.
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.200
And I think I like that term better.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.840
Yeah.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:43.759
Because then it it it um it suggests that there's no premeditated uh you know um effort out there to be incompetent.
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.759
I think it's just we claim that we are, right?
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.519
Yeah, and you know, um Well, he does the same thing.
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.799
They don't have these problem like problems at work.
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:55.440
That's the thing.
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.360
And my husband's not bad when it comes to shopping.
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.399
I may have to send him a picture of the brand because that's I do.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.480
Sometimes it's like, you know, that's fine.
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:03.919
I'll just text it to him or whatever.
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.159
I don't have to do this kind of list that she knows.
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.960
No, um Well, I've never included a map of the store.
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:10.159
No, it never done.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:22.559
But he will do that with like the you know, he we have a lot of the stuff in the calendar, and he'll still be like, Oh, what what's the kit what's the plan for this coming weekend?
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:27.519
Like he can't figure out how to do the plan, you know, and but at work he does it just fine.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.480
You mean for your day?
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.799
Yeah, for the day, like you know, what how do we do that?
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:47.919
You know, and he just you know he just Oh, but but I'm sure the work calendar, which is very on top of aggressive and full, he is completely, you know, um able to handle because I know my husband does, but then yet I have to send them meeting invites for like we made flu vaccines for the weekend.
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.480
I had to send them a meeting invite for that so that it would go into his calendar.
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:59.039
Because me were telling him we have a flu vaccine on Saturday afternoon, he's not gonna remember it.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:13:59.759
Right.
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.639
So I have to send him a meeting invite because his work calendar he can do.
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:05.360
Mm-hmm.
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.440
And that same same thing.
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:14.559
And it's one thing that really frustrates me when we have plans that neither one of us are special.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:19.840
Like I didn't, you know, it's just it could be like uh uh like going to get a the flu vaccine.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.120
We're going this weekend too.
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.080
I know that he knows it's at 10, but he'll still come to me and be like, what time do we need to get there?
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.840
Like, why am I better at knowing that you know where Target is down the street?
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:30.559
Right.
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.639
You know, like what you you know the same thing.
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.720
But he and I get so and he's like, Why are you frustrated?
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:39.919
I'm like, because you know, it all falls on me to determine where, like, what time we gotta leave.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.159
I'm sure you don't live in our house.
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:48.639
Because that is the exact same conversationslash argument that we have.
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.039
Why am I the one who's always remembering this?
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.320
And his and I quote, because you're better at it.
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.799
Which, you know, is it not in the article?
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:02.399
It's not as bad as what that Dutch guy, Dutch husband said about his wife.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:03.279
What did he say?
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.600
He said Um She, I think she's better at that sort of peasant stuff.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.080
Right.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.960
Of life.
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.240
He said it would be a struggle for me to do the laundry.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.159
I didn't do as well as Robin.
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.679
I think she's better with that sort of peasant stuff of life.
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.879
Oh my god.
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.399
So at least he didn't say that.
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:23.360
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.440
But but you know, I wonder if I, you know, perpetuate it as well.
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.320
And he does too, for like for with all the technology.
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:37.039
He takes care of it and he takes care of it so well that I don't need to worry about it.
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.200
Right.
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:48.879
And again, you know, and on the flip side with the groceries and the, you know, remembering our family's, you know, to-dos and all this, I do it so well that he doesn't have to worry about it.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:53.840
You know, and so of course we're prepared, we each have our own burdens to bear.
00:15:53.919 --> 00:16:08.480
And I think it's the um so the maybe the way we word it, and I thought about, I read this, and then we were um at a football game, you know, and when we were leaving, my husband was like, Do you want to drive or me?
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.399
And really, I I hate leaving crowded places because I hate dealing with uh traffic jamma sleeping.
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.159
And I almost said, Well, you're better at handling traffic because that's not good.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.840
But then I, you know, I just told him, I don't like, I don't really want to deal with the traffic.
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:22.639
Do you mind doing it?
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:23.679
And he was like, No, it's fine.
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:28.240
Yeah, and you know, it's like it's almost like we almost maybe if we just said that.
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.960
Yeah, you know, versus saying, You are better at it than me.
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:32.080
You know, it really not.
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.759
It's more just I don't want to do it.
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:40.720
Yeah, and and the truth is, you know, is when we were single without a partner, we handled all of it by ourselves, you know.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.600
But now that we have a partner, we can split it up.
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:50.639
I do think it's evenly split up between the both of us of what we take on and don't take on.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.559
But you know, but if he ever does come to me and say she's better at the peasant stuff of life.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.320
Oh my gosh, yeah, we'll have a problem.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.759
Well, a big problem.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.279
There's gonna be an issue.
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.440
Somebody gonna get hurt.
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:06.640
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.960
It's uh it's funny.
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:09.839
Yeah.
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:10.799
All right.
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.759
So well, that's what's currently in the news.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:20.799
What have you done in the last year and a half since we since our last podcast?
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:25.200
And it's been about a year and a half since our last podcast.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.200
We recorded it in May of 2020.
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:33.839
Yeah, I and I think we cut our season a little short, the first one, because the recording remotely was so tough.
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.720
And also we couldn't go out, we couldn't go out and do things.
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.119
Right.
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:47.839
You know, at least now you and I are still going out for our breakfast in the morning, and um, we're going out, you know, running our errands, we're we're meeting each other, so now we can be together.
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.319
But back then, you know, not vaccinated.
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:50.720
Right.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.319
We weren't even able to do that.
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.119
We would over the summer, remember, we would go meet at the park and sit six feet apart.
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.720
Yeah, oh my gosh.
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.240
It was so hot.
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.240
We started that we started that in the summer, or we started that in October around.
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.240
We started in the summer too.
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.000
We would we would go and it would be really hot.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:13.920
But we just remembered that to do we had to get away, yeah, and we would have coffee, yeah, iced coffee during the summer.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.599
Well, and and I think that was a saving grace though.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.599
That was nice because I mean could you imagine we would have gone this long?
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.680
Yeah, no, that was too much.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:32.000
And it was funny when we first started going, they were real strict because we went in like June, I think, and they were like this we went to sit on a bench.
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:32.960
Oh, that's true.
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.240
We went started by walking at the Yeah, we were going walking, and then we're like, well, and then so sit for a bit.
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.920
Well, first we were gonna sit at the bench.
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.319
Right.
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.359
And we were at the tables and we were apart.
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.759
We were on one end and I was on the other, and a park ranger came up and said, You can't sit at the table.
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.519
I'm like, but look at we're far apart, and they're like, sorry, and like, what about a bench?
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.720
You can't sit on the bench either.
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:58.720
So we would go walk, and then we ended up moving to a new park where we could actually sit across.
00:18:59.119 --> 00:18:59.599
Right.
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.759
Oh we had to get out and and do our chatting.
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.319
We were deprived.
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.440
We were, but yeah, it was um it was interesting, you know.
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:13.440
Um you picked up a few new hobbies.
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:18.400
I did, you know, I was what I was one of the the type that was like, I need to try some stuff.
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.359
And I I actually picked two of the things I picked.
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.079
I tried three things in total, and two of them were something that I've always wanted to do.
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:27.599
One was a dollhouse.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:38.799
I thought, oh, it's so much fun doing this dollhouse because I like crafts somewhat, you know, and and then um the violin was something I always thought, oh, I want to learn how to play it.
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:46.960
So with the dollhouse, yeah, I got like a little over halfway and it was kind of not all fitting together right.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.839
It was a little like tilted and some I know because every time I texted you, how's a dollhouse going?
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.720
There was never good news.
00:19:52.960 --> 00:20:04.799
Oh no, it was always it was a complex have to sand things, having to like glue it and like fit it together.
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.839
Oh my gosh, yeah.
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:11.680
And then be it was also you don't you didn't want to just put it together, then decorate it.
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:13.839
Because that would be ridiculously hard.
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:16.799
So you had to like paint the walls and do the flooring.
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:27.599
So I was like, I had walls paint, I it was like so confusing, and then I ran wiring through it and I like drill and whole oh my gosh, the whole thing was like barely fitting together.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.119
It was looking, you know, like a like a haunted house.
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.039
You should have kept it for Halloween.
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.359
I don't know, but it was so big and finally I'm like, nope, I I can't handle it.
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:43.920
It was and it was such a relief when I finally was like, it threw it away because it was so much.
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.680
I had like little chandeliers hanging, but they were like crooked.
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.519
It was just no, you know, it's not my thing.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.079
I had a feeling that was the direction it was going in.
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:59.119
Um after the first few weeks that you were and it took my whole garage, it was like scattered all around.
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.480
There was never any positive news on the um progression of it.
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.799
So I was like, yeah, this is doomed.
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.079
Yeah, and it was.
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:09.839
Now the violin went better.
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:10.480
Okay, good.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.839
Um, I still play it.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.640
Unfortunately, over the summer, I kind of got away from it, so I'm like working my way back.
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.720
Um, because the when the summer came, it was the kids are home all the time.
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.799
So the kids were home and I used to play in the world.
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.680
Well, I mean, they were home before, but they were occupied with school.
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.640
Yeah, we had a whole uh schedule that made sense.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:34.880
And um with the and we had oh, and we also we got a puppy, a pandemic puppy.
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:35.440
That's right.
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:43.599
And um during the school year it was great because my daughter's recess overlapped with me practicing, so she would play with the dog and it was great.
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.920
But during the summer, you know, the dog was still a puppy, so we kind of like kept the eye on her.
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.880
She's better now.
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:58.720
Um, but the and there was nowhere to practice with somebody taking, you know, my husband was in one room and my kids were in yeah, there was just nowhere to go.
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.400
So I didn't you know I I'm getting back to it and I do enjoy it.
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.119
It's a lot of fun.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.480
And then I also was um learning German since January and that is probably the best one.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.519
I don't know why I decided to pick up German.
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.759
Um I just thought it sounded fun.
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.039
And it has been.
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.359
I actually do Duolingo and I have like a 200.
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.319
Well, if you if you move to Germany, I'm not gonna be very happy with it.
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.759
So this this German learning better be just for just for fun, just for your vacation.
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:29.200
Just for Oktoberfest.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:29.839
Yeah.
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.000
For you to get through Oktoberfest.
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.160
There better be no plans to move.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.000
Yeah, there aren't any currently.
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:45.200
And I think that, you know, talking about that, I think that's why I was starting to learn it because I picked it up right around when the insurrection happened.
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:50.000
And I was all like, Where this country's doomed, you know, and I'm like, where can I go live?
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:55.359
And I was like looking and researching, and Germany is like they're really good with the environment and they're cutting it, you know.
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.799
I'm like, maybe Germany, and I'm like, hey, Germans on Duolingo.
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.640
I'll like anyway, that's how it all began.
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:02.559
But um totally forgot about that.
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.200
I was like, I'm sitting here thinking, why did I learn German?
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:11.759
But um I had done I did Duolingo and then I started listening to this audiobook as well by Paul Noble.
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.759
He does other languages, and it like really is good about teaching you how they phrase things.
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.160
Okay.
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:24.880
So you actually it's not as much the Duolingo is good for vocabulary, but his stuff is good for constructing sentences.
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.279
So it's it really helps.
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:35.680
And my favorite sentence so far that I learned is Wir haben Gluck, das das Veter so gut ist.
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.039
What does that mean?
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.559
It means we are lucky the weather that the weather is so good.
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.519
I feel like I can use it in so many ways, like how are you doing?
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:54.480
You know, and we're having gluck, dash as feta so goodist, you know, like and it's kind of like the secret that you know, where you say things and then it brings it to you.
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.279
Maybe if I keep saying the weather's so good, it will come.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.279
Well, that that's a better phrase to remember than the one I remembered from my six years of French.
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.720
Which is what Voulez Voucher avec moi ce soit.
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.839
That phrase does not fit in all sorts of things.
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.720
No, I don't think you can't just say that.
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.599
You know.
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:17.680
So that is the only thing I have retained from my six years of French.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.799
So I think your phrase is much more successful.
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:32.400
Well, I'd like it too, because German in general, because you know, with us with English, we're all like, would you mind, you know, like taking a seat or would you like to have a seat and stuff?
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.880
And they're just like, take a seat, please.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:37.200
They're much more direct.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.319
Yeah, exactly.
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.359
But so so the next time we go to beer garden, yeah, I'll be right back.
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:42.880
You're ordering in German.
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:43.279
Yeah.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:25:02.000
And um it was so funny because my two sons are taking Spanish in school, and we they love looking at the they do comparison videos on YouTube of like the different languages, and one of them was talking about, you know, how German is so you know, different than the others.
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:15.359
And they had like they were given examples of words and they were like, hospital, la hospital, blah blah blah, you know, all the different languages, and German is like Krakenhaus Krakenhaus.
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:18.640
And I don't I don't know, it just makes it interesting.
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.519
So yeah, and then the biggest thing out of everything is that my book is coming out soon.
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.920
I decided ended up deciding to self-publish it.
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:27.359
I think that's a good decision.
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:29.279
I just wanted to have control.
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:37.519
And you know, I've I've but been through multiple rounds of editing, got the cover designed, I am doing the last proofreading.
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.799
Um, and then so it should be out in a in a month or so.
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.400
So that's exciting.
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.799
Um it's a the sci-fi book about AI trying to destroy everything.
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.880
Actually, it's a about a utopian.
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:56.400
Um in the future, how you know the AI is a benevolent dictator, but then another AI comes in and wrecks it.
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.119
Well, I read the very, very first copy of it.
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.480
Yeah, you always read the worst copy because it's the very first one.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:03.359
Like, what do you think?
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:05.359
So I can't wait to read the final.
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:06.960
It'll be great.
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:07.359
All right.
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:08.079
So, what about you?
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:09.279
What have you been up to?
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:20.160
Um, well, you know, we decided because we're stuck in our abode for so long that we should do everything that we wanted to do to it to make it comfortable.
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:22.559
Or I mean, it was comfortable, but to make us happy.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.400
And with the cooler months that were this was last summer.
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.599
It's been a full year now, but you know, with the cooler months around the corner last summer, we're like, well, let's renovate the backyard.
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:40.880
Well, it started first by new neighbors moved in behind us, and the backs of our houses face each other.
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:41.200
Right.
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:42.720
And they have two big dogs.
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.680
I mean, huge.
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:45.119
I mean, there are horses.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:59.759
And every morning I would come out there and we would open our sliding door blinds to let all the light in, and I'd have my cup of coffee and watch these two dogs do the morning business with my cup of coffee.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.400
And so I was like, oh such a wonderful thing.
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.440
And you know, I'm not a pet person to begin with, so this was just, you know, this was an atrocity.
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.960
So I was like, oh, we need to put up a fence, we need to put up a fence.
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.279
I cannot handle this anymore.
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:32.799
But um, I don't know, I think our neighbors got the point that we weren't happy about it, you know, because we kept we did complain a couple of times, and every one time I think I was standing out there, it was cooler, and she waved at me, and I was like, ugh, I didn't, you know, I just had a naturally disgusted face on my look.
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:39.599
I don't I it wasn't exactly the best social moment of my life, but yeah, I think they got the point.
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.400
So they put up that back fence first.
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.680
So I was like, oh, great.
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:45.599
Okay, so now all we have to do is the two sides.
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:53.039
So we went ahead and did that, and you know, the grass, we had inadvertently killed it because it was so overrun with weeds.
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:57.279
I was I told my husband, let's get this awesome weed killer.
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:59.279
And it was like$100 a bottle.
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.680
And I thought it was gonna be magnificent.
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:03.519
And we sprayed it everywhere.
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:04.880
Well, it killed everything.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.799
Was it Roundup?
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.680
No, it's called Celsius.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:14.000
I mean, it killed, it killed the weeds, but it killed the grass too.
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.200
So we're like, ah.
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.440
So I was like, well, let's just, you know, it's all dead now.
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:24.319
Let's, you know, put in edging, put in new plants, have someone put in the grass.
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:30.480
We put in lights, you know, we did everything ourselves, and it took about two months.
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:38.640
I mean, we did there, and the we the the neighbor has like three oak trees, so their roots was like almost to the foundation of our patio.
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:40.720
So we had to get the axe out there.
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:50.319
I mean, it was a lot of work, but it took about two, two and a half months, and I think we did everything ourselves except for the fence and laying down the new grass.
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.200
That's awesome.
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.640
So we did that, and then you know, once we recovered from that, I was like, this is not enough.
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:58.079
What can we do now?
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.079
You know, with the pandemic, we watched a lot of HGTV, right?
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.640
You know, and so that was dangerous.
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:14.079
So we I got it into my head that I wanted a countertop on top of my washing machine and um dryer.
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:22.079
So we bought a butcher's block and we put that in, we did that, we put in new shelves, we did new solutions on how to dry clothes and stuff.
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.039
So we did that.
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:24.400
That only took a couple of weeks.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.920
It to it turned out very well.
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.519
It looked like a Pinterest.
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:29.440
Yeah, well, that was my inspiration.
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.319
Pinterest.
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.039
Pinterest and HGTV, very dangerous.
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.920
Yes, they are.
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:43.599
And then we did little small things like we made a little table for a piano because the the bench that it came with that the the keyboard sat on, it was very industrial looking.
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.279
You know what I'm talking about.
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.079
So it didn't really go, and I got tired of looking at that.
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:48.960
So we did that.
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:50.160
That was easy.
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.839
We replaced the lights in the bathroom to pendant lights.
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.519
We did the lights up in the front and the you know in the driveway and stuff.
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.960
We did all those little things.
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.359
But um, I think I'm out of projects now.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:03.359
Oh, so what are you gonna do?
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:04.160
I don't know.
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.880
Our our master bath needs to be renovated.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.680
That's the last thing.
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:09.839
We never did that two years ago.
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.720
Yeah, but I think that's gonna wait till next year.
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.039
Yeah.
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:16.960
Because that's a big, that's a big, big taking on, and I'm not ready for that.
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.079
We need we our bathrooms are the original late 80s when it eighty six when it was built.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.000
And they're for Micah, yeah.
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:37.599
I mean, it's not good, but uh just the thought of it's a it's a lot of um we're in a c a part of me wishes that we had just bitten the bullet and did it when we did the big renovation of the home, but we were just exhausted.
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.319
Right.
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.400
Yeah, and it's you know, I wish it could just be like I dream a genie.
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.039
Right.
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.799
Like it is in or or even like it is in these HD TV shows.
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:49.759
They come in and it looks like it's a it's like two days.
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.279
And it's never that, you know.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:53.440
And they never show you how invasive it is.
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:53.759
Right.
00:30:53.839 --> 00:31:08.079
You know, how they're yeah, and how that it's they're what having to wait for weeks for something to do, you know, nothing happens for a while, or or you know, it just uh And really I think once we've you know we've already bought the flooring for it because it was the same flooring that we did two years ago.
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.799
It's just a matter of picking out the shower tiles and stuff, and it's a very small space, so things can't be reconfigured.
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:15.119
Right.
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.519
So it's it's that top a two weeks job.
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.000
Right, right.
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:23.200
We're still not ready to divulge divor uh dig in and dig into that.
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:30.079
But other than that, we dealt with, you know, like we mentioned at the beginning, virtual school, yeah, which seemed forever.
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.799
Yeah.
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:34.480
And husband working from home, and then I read a lot.
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:35.119
Yeah.
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:37.359
I read a lot too, especially last year.
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:45.920
This year, I started off reading a lot as the summer went with me trying to finish my book, because I was reading it over and over and over again.
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:51.920
I've read it so many times um that I didn't haven't gotten to read other stuff as much as I want to, but it's okay.
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:53.279
Yeah, I get I'll get to it.
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.240
Soon as I as soon as it's out, I'm gonna be back to reading tons.
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:07.519
But yeah, it was um it's crazy how just the month two months of school so far, a month and a half, whatever, is like flown by compared to how slowly it went with the virtual.
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.440
It's felt like forever, didn't it?
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:11.920
Yeah, but I mean I've I'm my kids did okay.
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.799
Mine did great.
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:26.720
They handled it okay, and thank goodness that they could get together with friends virtually because it real like if this would have happened when we were young, it you know, we would just were genuinely alone, it would have been so hard.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:36.960
But you know, they were able to they got into the habit of having a the FaceTime open while they were playing games with the person and they were like talking and it was like they were there.
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.079
That did help, but it was still still good for them to go back to school.
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.559
Sure, it was nice, it's so much better.
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:53.039
Well, the other hot topic currently, and it's uh you know, due to the times that we live in right now, is COVID and the COVID vaccine.
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.759
Yes.
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:55.440
And uh we did get them.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:55.920
Yes.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.119
Our our husbands have gotten them, our teenagers have gotten them.
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.039
Yes, and only our youngest.
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:07.519
Yeah, because they're not their age group isn't out, but I think in the next two to three weeks, they will be out and they will be getting them.
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:08.000
Yes.
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:16.640
And so basically, you know, uh without tiptoeing around this and making it a political issue, it saves lives.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.599
My husband had two people die in his family, his grandmother and his uncle.
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.759
I mean, it's a real thing, people.
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.160
You have got to get vaccinated.
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:30.559
And we're never gonna go back to a normal life until the majority of us are vaccinated.
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.680
Right, I agree.
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:41.680
And you know, if we can all get vaccinated and keep the hospitals not from overflowing, then it will just be more like the flu.
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.079
Right.
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:50.880
You know, because like over the summer, we all kind of went back to normal and here in Florida, you know, we got a little more, a lot more comfortable going out and all that.
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:55.680
And um, our hospitals were jam-packed in August.
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.839
And we were almost to the breaking point.
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.640
Yeah, and it's it that's what was scary, you know.
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:08.719
And I had a neighbor two doors down that was in the hospital for weeks and uh, you know, with blood clots and stuff, and you know, he didn't get vaccinated.
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.000
But the people with the vaccines, they, you know, were they could still get it, just like with the flu.
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.199
My daughter got the gets the flu vaccine um every year, and all my kids do, we all do.
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:30.719
And um one time she got the flu vaccine, but a week later she got the flu and it hadn't been able to take full, you know, because usually it's best if you don't aren't exposed to flu for a few weeks after the vaccine.
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.480
But even that, she got better than the other kids in her class who hadn't had the vaccine yet.
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.519
It does help.
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.840
It just helps it not be super serious.
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:48.639
And and and that's the biggest argument that people who are hesitant to get the vaccine have is that, oh, well, you know, if I get the vaccine, I'm still I can still get COVID.
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.320
Yeah, you know, you can.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.639
If you get the flu vaccine, you can still get the flu.
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.880
But the point is, is you won't die from it.
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:55.280
Right.
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.519
You know, you won't be hospitalized from it.
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:04.480
You'll be over it quite quickly, and the um the symptoms aren't as severe.
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:05.360
Right, exactly.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:13.599
You know, the okay, there are a few breakthrough where it's bad, you know, stuff, but i that is so few and far in between, and the same thing happens with the flu.
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.400
You know, it is completely and utterly worth it to get the vaccine.
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:18.719
Right.
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:29.840
You know, I mean, there's a reason we don't deal with measles and kids don't deal with chicken pox and polio and all of these things anymore, is because we are vaccinated.
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.480
Right.
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:40.159
You know, and so for in order for us to eliminate COVID or bring it down to the bare minimum, we as a society need to get vaccinated.
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:40.480
Right.
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:41.119
All of us.
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:46.400
And I get it, like when it first came out, and you know, you'd be being leery about it.
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:54.000
I understand that, but we it has been, you know, been given to millions of people, and there is not widespread issues.
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.960
Um correct.
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.159
And even the ones that did come up, they haven't confirmed if it was definitely that or not.
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:07.599
But you could take anything and get a have an allergic reaction or something like you know, that that happens with even Tylenol and ibuprofen.
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:08.079
Right.
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:09.519
Some people can't tolerate that.
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.000
So, yes, there, you know, but it's such a minute risk.
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.320
I don't know why it's political.
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.760
I mean, I know how it got political, but I don't know why.
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.920
I mean, we're all supposed to be working together here, and I, you know, I don't know.
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:26.960
Well, did you see the funeral home ad that went viral in North Carolina?
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:27.519
No.
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:28.079
Okay.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:34.639
So Wilmore Funeral Home got this huge vans and wrote on it.
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.719
They drove around all over Charlotte, North Carolina before a Panthers game.
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.000
And on it it said, don't get vaccinated.
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.280
And then underneath it said, Wilmore Funeral Home.
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:47.840
And then with the funeral home website.
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.480
Oh my god.
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:53.199
You know, basically saying, you know, we'll see you soon if you don't get vaccinated.
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:55.039
I loved it.
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:01.519
And then the thing is, is when you went onto the website, it wasn't, it's not a real, it's not a real funeral home.
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:02.159
Oh, okay.
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:10.880
So when you went on the website, it gave you facts about COVID and it gave you a link to go and get an appointment for the COVID vaccine.
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:15.440
And this was done by the Boone Oakley Advertising Agency.
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:15.840
Okay.
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:30.800
Because the owner is feels so strongly about getting the vaccine that he wanted to, you know, put this out there and hopefully, and it did, it went viral to get people to encourage people to go get vaccinated.
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.360
Yep.
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:32.960
So I thought that was brilliant.
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:34.960
That was it was hilarious.
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.519
Brilliant, and I hope it worked.
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:39.199
I want this to get back to normal.
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:39.599
Yeah.
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:45.119
You know, I mean, I just I have no other skin in the vaccine game other than we do not have socket.
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:46.800
I do not have sock and pf.
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.599
We do not have any financial gain.
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:56.480
I just want us to all, you know, the hospitals to stay available for everything that's out there.
00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:01.840
And I want us to be able to get back to normal and kids to eventually be able to go around without masks and all that.
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.079
And you know, us too in certain situations.
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:12.239
So yeah, it's uh so that's a that's our that's our one political thing that we're gonna get on, um, which really isn't political, it's only political because it's been made that way.
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:13.360
Yeah, it's not political.
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.639
Yes, it's not political.
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.360
It is a general health issue.
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:19.599
Yes, and that's why we're talking about it.
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:27.199
We're we don't care what uh pol politics at all when it comes to everything else.
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.320
So it's time for our media moment.
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:31.360
Okay, all right.
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.159
So we talked about you know what we did this past year, reading lots.
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.199
So we have lots of reading and shows and stuff to talk about.
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:46.480
That's the one thing the pandemic did give us was a lot of opportunity to indulge into many media avenues.
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:54.079
Yes, because I remember when we first when the first lockdown happened, the four of us all we would do is watch endless amounts of TV.
00:38:54.239 --> 00:39:00.159
Yeah, you know, and uh movies and stuff, because even school was kind of just like eh, they were, you know, they were in the last quarter.
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.320
At the end of 2020, they didn't do much.
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:06.639
Although my youngest daughter did, but the rest of the Yeah, like the teachers weren't ready for this, right?
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.880
So they weren't ready for an online platform.
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.039
And the year the school year is already dying down because we had just finished spring break.
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:14.800
So we only had about two months left.
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:19.760
So they weren't even sitting for school more than a couple hours a morning, you know.
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:25.440
So we just had um nothing much to do but watch movies and TV.
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.239
Yeah.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:33.679
So let's get into what we all and I you know, I try to make a mental list of everything we watch, but it's kind of hard to go all the way back.
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:36.000
So just a few things that popped up.
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.199
A lot of them that we ended up were more current, yeah.
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:40.000
Exactly.
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:40.639
Exactly.
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.599
But one thing we wanted to talk about, you watch this, I have not gotten to watch it, was the Bob Ross documentary.
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:53.599
And we wanted to talk about it because we did the whole episode where we tried to paint like Bob Ross and stayed hopelessly behind, like what?
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.280
Pause it, what what did he do there?
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:57.840
I know.
00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:59.039
Love Bob Ross.
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:02.880
Uh, I thought this documentary it would be, you know, scandalous.
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.880
It it was scandalous, but not into the detriment of Bob Ross.
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:07.280
Right.
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:14.559
But it did reveal how um Bob Ross does not own his own company, the Bob Ross Company.
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:18.960
Um, another couple does, and they just took advantage of him.
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:19.360
Yeah.
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:23.599
I mean, they basically on his deathbed, he died of cancer, I believe.
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:24.480
Yes, I think so.
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:29.280
On his deathbed, they had him sign over his name to them.
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:36.079
So everything Bob Ross related is now they are reaping the financial re uh rewards from it.
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:38.480
Bob Ross's son is not.
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.599
And Bob Ross's legacy is not his own anymore.
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:42.800
Oh, that's sad.
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:44.320
Yeah, it was terrible.
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.199
And they basically conned him out of everything.
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:48.639
But, you know.
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:53.360
And I feel like we contributed to that because we got each other Bob Ross Chia pet heads.
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:54.559
Which were not successful.
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:55.440
No, they weren't.
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.760
I'm I am a I have a green thumb.
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.199
I love to do gardening outside, but Chia beat me.
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:02.559
It did.
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:09.280
And you know, I thought after that whole extensive backyard renovation, planting a few chia seeds, I could do it.
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:12.480
But just, you know, just to clarify, this was our Christmas gift to each other.
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:12.800
Yes.
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:14.000
That competition that we do.
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:15.679
We wrap it, right?
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.400
Yeah, we get each other something relatively inexpensive, and then our competition is who wraps it the best.
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.119
Anyways, last year it was the Bob Ross Chia pet.
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:23.920
Yeah.
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.199
As something just fun that we could like take a picture of.
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:29.280
But then mine like broke.
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:31.039
The actual clay head, right?
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.840
Yeah, the clay head, I forgot what it was before I did it, or maybe just after.
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:43.760
But it um somebody hit something and it fell, and a big chunk of the side of his head, like you know, his skull, yeah, came off.
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:45.920
And um, I was like, it's okay, I'll glue it.
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:52.239
Well, you need it all to be connected because that's how you water it and it absorbs through the clay pot.
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:56.320
So that one little part died, and it kind of bushed up, yeah, got all bushy around it.
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:58.480
He had a little alopecia in that area.
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.800
But at least your chia pet got a little green, right?
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:02.960
Right?
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:03.440
You got it.
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:05.199
It did, yeah, yeah, I got a little green.
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:05.519
Right?
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:06.400
I got nothing.
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:10.880
I don't know what I did wrong, but the chia pet started to mold over.
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.679
Oh yes.
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:13.840
Well, not the chia pet, the chia seeds.
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.679
Yeah, that's what happened in that one section.
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:16.400
It molded over.
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.000
I just ended up throwing it out.
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.280
It was not successful.
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.199
Anyway, so then we watched White Lotus.
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.400
Yeah, we've watched that recently.
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:26.880
Recently, and we watched it on your recommendation.
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:36.880
And it was, you know, it was a very slow show, but for some reason it was like one of those um like car accidents where you can't stop watching or you know, looking at.
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:37.440
Exactly.
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:43.440
My husband said it was like the show was trying to be awkward, have put do the most awkward situations ever.
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.880
Like the conversations were awkward, everything was just like, oh.
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:49.360
And you just had to keep going back to watch it.
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:51.119
And the characters were good too.
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:55.599
You know, those awkward characters, I think, is what made you want to come back and watch the show.
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.440
And there's been several rankings.
00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:59.840
I don't know if you've seen the article ranking.
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.199
And it's it spurs such conversation because all the rankings are different of who the who's the worst.
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:09.199
It was all like the from the least worst character to the the worst worst.
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.519
Uh-huh.
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:20.239
And overall, it seems like the son, which we we won't get too much into spoiling, but the son, in his little over, you know, we went from tech to finding something that he's passionate about.
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:22.559
He was the least bad person.
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:22.800
Yeah.
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:23.599
In a lot of them.
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:24.719
Or one of the least.
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:26.239
Was the worst, the hotel manager?
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:28.239
Well, in one, it was the worst.
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.800
One, it was the guy, the the husband.
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.679
Okay, of the young honeymoon couple.
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:34.079
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:34.880
He wasn't great.
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:36.639
But but they were all kind of bad.
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:40.159
They all had their um they were all like imperfections.
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:40.639
Right.
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:41.440
They all had their best.
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:50.320
But I think my favorite was the hotel manager because he was just so awkward and he was a total mess.
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:55.119
He was a hot he went from going, from being having it together.
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:56.480
Like you're like this guy.
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.760
He's like, he's manager of this property, he's got everything else.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.960
Under control and then he just lost well he fell apart in the first episode.
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:05.760
Yeah, at the end of the yeah, and then it just got worse.
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:10.239
And it was like he, you know, you were just like, whenever he was on, like, what is he gonna do now?
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:11.119
Yeah, I know.
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:16.559
He was he was also the most provided the most shocking moments too of the show.
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:17.119
Totally.
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:18.079
All of the shocking moments.
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:19.599
He did a great job, the actor, didn't he?
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:19.920
He really did.
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:20.639
He was awesome.
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:21.280
He really did.
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.320
And I think all of the shocking moments were really provided by his character.
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:24.719
Yeah.
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:26.320
The most shocking, yeah.
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:27.039
Yeah.
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:33.280
And the um the two girls, that was probably one of the more disturbing ones, what all went down.
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:34.639
The two with the with the one girl.
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:35.760
The two ancient girls.
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:37.440
Yeah, just you know, it was sad.
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.280
That their friendship was sad.
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.239
Yeah.
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.400
What all went down was sad and so if you're looking yeah, go ahead.
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.760
So if you're looking for something interesting to watch, kind of shocking.
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:50.719
Kind of watch it, but it is not a family-friendly show.
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:52.719
No, no, watch it uh adults adults.
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.559
And then um, my husband and I are watching Ted Lasso, which I want to watch that.
00:44:58.800 --> 00:44:59.519
Sudakis, yeah.
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:03.440
Sudakis, which I love because I loved them on SNL and stuff like that.
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:08.480
Well, our neighbors kept telling us it's a funny show, it's a great show, and we never got around to it.
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:17.440
And then um we started watching it and we watched four episodes in one night because it was it was great from the get-go, from the very first episode.
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:18.880
Like all the time.
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:24.480
Yeah, coincidentally, I never even knew that the next night were Emmys or something like that, and it was a clean sweep, wasn't it?
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:25.440
On Emmy night.
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:26.800
I've heard such good things about it.
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:28.000
My sister-in-law talked about it.
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:30.239
Two seasons are kind of like, I don't know.
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:34.639
I think he would like it because he likes um S and L and he liked Jason.
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:35.760
Jason Sudeikis.
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.960
Jason Sudekis, and um, you know, he's a sports guy.
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:40.320
I don't know what the problem is.
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:41.360
I love it.
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:50.000
I love it, and I love the whole because he's him and his assistant, the whole premise is that they are football coaches for American football.
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:56.079
American football coaches in the US, I think for college, for small college or something like that.
00:45:56.400 --> 00:46:06.079
And he gets hired in the UK um for to coach a football or soccer um team.
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:22.079
And it's really hilarious that you have Midwest Kansas City coaches going dropping down into, you know, a British in Britain, and it's hilarious, and comedy ensues, but he's such a lovable character.
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:23.360
Okay Lasso.
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:26.079
And he's funny too at the same time.
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:27.280
I mean, we're addicted.
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:27.519
Yeah.
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.000
What's sad is we're almost done with the second season now.
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.079
So, like, I don't know what we're gonna watch after that.
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:40.000
That's always the worst, because my husband and I, we don't watch tons of TV, and when we do, we don't always agree on what to watch.
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:43.760
So when we find something we both want to watch, it's like it's over before we even began.
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:44.559
Like, no.
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:48.000
And these kind of shows that you love, you go through so, so quickly.
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:55.119
I think another one I wanted to mention was uh, and this came out ear uh late last year or early this year, I don't remember.
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:56.559
The brid uh Bridgerton.
00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:57.840
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:46:58.159 --> 00:46:59.440
Oh, I loved it.
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:01.199
I love how Shonda Rhymes.
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:05.119
Yeah, like just after the holidays, I think.
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:08.239
I love how Shonda Rhymes approached that.
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:18.960
She um merged modern music, but it sounded from Victorian, you know, with the Victorian flair, and it was just so so well done.
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.800
In the series, it didn't have the race stuff, right?
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:23.519
Or did it?
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:24.239
In the book?
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:25.360
Yeah, in the book, the book.
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:33.360
No, yeah, and that's what I like about the show too because and they don't they didn't just s cast, you know, African Americans in this and stuff like that.
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:41.679
They actually discussed it, like because the yeah, the king married uh the the queen and it opened up doors and it made things more equal.
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:44.719
And I liked I like that because it's kind of like a what could have happened.
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.280
Yeah, the books are very traditional Victorian England uh romance, right?
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:49.440
Right.
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:51.760
Yeah, but I liked that part of the story, you know.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:55.119
I love that modern mesh with the you know historical period.
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:56.000
So it was great.
00:47:56.239 --> 00:47:57.519
So I'm looking forward to the second scene.
00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:58.559
Me too.
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:03.920
So you also watched, you and your family also watched a lot of Marvel movies and shows, right?
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.679
Yeah, and my oldest son is particularly obsessed with it.
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:17.519
And um, but we as soon as the pandemic came, I think we even talked about this that we were watching all the Marvel movies from the beginning, uh, you know, all the way through in order.
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:30.719
So we did that, but then you know, because we had um Disney, they had a lot of series that came out to follow up, um, like WandaVision and um Loki, Falcon in a Winter Soldier, and the What If.
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.599
And the What If is probably the most interesting out of them.
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:45.599
And Loki was probably the next one, but the what if is where they take um the characters you already know and it's animated, so it is, you know, it's like kind of a cartoon, but it's it's well animated.
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.320
Um but they what if it happened a different way?
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:55.440
And one of the ones is about zombies, which you know I have I love zombies, and it's what if the Avengers were zombies?
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:56.719
I think that's your guilty pressure.
00:48:58.079 --> 00:48:58.719
Zombies, yeah.
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:10.880
And they had what happened was is that when they remember when they went to get um you remember in Ant Man the second and wasp where the mom was in the quantum realm, right?
00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:23.519
Well, in this what if the she got a virus in the quantum realm that made zombies and she came back and started infecting everybody, and so um the Hulk comes back and they're zombies.
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:27.599
It's interesting.
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:34.079
And so the and some of the some of the Avengers are zombies, like Captain America and all that, and some aren't.
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:35.199
And it was it was interesting.
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:39.519
Yeah, and you know, if if you're big Marvel fans, Disney has a lot of content for it.
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:40.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:43.440
And uh so we watch we've watched all of them.
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:44.159
All right.
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:45.519
Anyway, so that's it.
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:54.000
So our um publishing um uh our recording schedule for this coming year, we think we're gonna do like one a month.
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:55.199
One a month.
00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.320
I think we have a lot of um time commitments and you know, crazy schedules.
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:09.199
Having high schoolers this year and and I think the other factors is that you know we're trying to limit how much we're out in the public as well.
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:16.960
So, you know, because of that, some of the stuff that we usually do, like uh although we should do another um geocaching and try that again.
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:18.559
But some of the other stuff, right?
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:23.199
Other stuff that we've do we do when we're out and about aren't as easily accessible right now.
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:26.480
So it's just uh we're thinking once a month is gonna be good.
00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:29.440
But we we definitely hope you tune in for next time.
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:30.400
