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?

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?

00:47:22.960 --> 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?

00:48:48.559 --> 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 Thanks for listening. 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:31.039 Bye. 00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:34.880 Thanks for listening to the We Never Learn Podcast. 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:38.239 Don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. 00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:44.960 You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and visit us on we never learn podcast.com.
