- 0:02Speaker 1: This is your favorite ASMR podcast. That's not true.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Happy September, Happy for It's time for an August update.
- 0:12Speaker 2: This is your podcast delivery. You're ready for some adventures,
- 0:18Speaker 2: thoughts and updates. Well ready or not, here it comes.
- 0:23Speaker 2: For some reason, August felt particularly long, and not because
- 0:27Speaker 2: I was it was a bad month.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Quite the opposite.
- 0:29Speaker 2: It was a month full of adventures, connections, laughter, good food,
- 0:34Speaker 2: nice experiences. So yeah, maybe it fell long because I
- 0:40Speaker 2: did so many things. And that's a good thing, isn't it.
- 0:45Speaker 2: So let's start the episode or the update with the
- 0:50Speaker 2: highlight of the month, which is that my sister came
- 0:52Speaker 2: to Vienna to visit. It feels like an eternity ago,
- 0:58Speaker 2: but no, it was this month anyways.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Having her hair was really nice.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time we had some sisters time.
- 1:07Speaker 2: If I went to San Francisco for work, she was
- 1:10Speaker 2: gone for about ten days. And my sister has always
- 1:13Speaker 2: been here during winter, and Vienna's really nice eru in winter,
- 1:17Speaker 2: but summer in summer it's a completely different city. It's
- 1:22Speaker 2: full of life, colors, so many things to do.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So I wanted my sister to see Vienna in summer.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I think she liked it, or I hope she did.
- 1:32Speaker 2: The weather was supposed to be rainy during those precise
- 1:36Speaker 2: days that she was here, but fortunately it wasn't the case,
- 1:40Speaker 2: and we could do many outdoor see things like we
- 1:44Speaker 2: went to vineyard vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, I think it's how
- 1:49Speaker 2: you say it. We went to an opener cinema. We
- 1:53Speaker 2: walked around the city. We also went to Prata and
- 1:56Speaker 2: played some arcade games. That was very fun. We watched
- 2:01Speaker 2: some movies serious, cook together, ordered food, you know, all
- 2:05Speaker 2: those things sisters do when they visit each other. So tikito,
- 2:10Speaker 2: thank you for coming. Something really cool or nerdy or lame,
- 2:16Speaker 2: depending on your personal point of view, was that we
- 2:19Speaker 2: organized our own the office trivia with my friends. My
- 2:23Speaker 2: sister came up with extra difficult questions, and I have
- 2:26Speaker 2: to say it was fun.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I lost, but it was fun.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Let's talk about friends and connections. Now. After my sister left,
- 2:38Speaker 2: I still had some time for myself. I met some friends,
- 2:41Speaker 2: but I was also very much looking forward to having
- 2:43Speaker 2: Eva back, so I decided to plan a little surprise
- 2:48Speaker 2: for her, and I made a cheesy sign. I got
- 2:52Speaker 2: some big scandalas I love the word scandals, so you're
- 2:56Speaker 2: gonna be here.
- 2:57Speaker 1: In it often.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I got her some big scandal balloons, and as she
- 3:03Speaker 2: warned me that she would be hungry, I decided to
- 3:05Speaker 2: order one of the most typical Austrian dishes for my
- 3:09Speaker 2: Austrian babe she needs so now. If and I usually
- 3:14Speaker 2: don't pick up each other at the airport when we
- 3:16Speaker 2: travel alone, but this time I really wanted to surprise her,
- 3:20Speaker 2: and I decided I wanted.
- 3:21Speaker 1: To pick her up. So, if you haven't been to.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Vienna before or the airport, let me give you some context.
- 3:29Speaker 2: The airport is big, but all arrivals go through one door,
- 3:35Speaker 2: so that means that all people arriving to Vienna have
- 3:38Speaker 2: to go through the same door in order to get out.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Of the airport.
- 3:43Speaker 2: So I knew it would be easy kind of to
- 3:47Speaker 2: catch her there. I got her flowers and I was
- 3:51Speaker 2: monitoring her flight all the time.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I texted her as.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Soon as she landed and I told her like, oh
- 3:57Speaker 2: my god, I'm so much looking forward to seeing you.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I asked her when she thought she would be home,
- 4:03Speaker 2: so more or less I.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Knew where she was.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Like in the process of coming out of the airport,
- 4:08Speaker 2: she said she it would that it would take her
- 4:09Speaker 2: a while because she checked in suitcases and so on.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And when she sent me.
- 4:16Speaker 2: A selfie with her suitcases, I knew that I had
- 4:21Speaker 2: to keep an eye on the door and had to
- 4:23Speaker 2: be very cautious so I could catch her there. You know,
- 4:31Speaker 2: so important details, and so I'm a little bit basic.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I took a photo of the flowers with the gate
- 4:36Speaker 2: on the background, so it was obvious that I was
- 4:39Speaker 2: there at the airport waiting for someone at the airport.
- 4:42Speaker 2: And I thought that maybe after the big surprise, I
- 4:46Speaker 2: could potentially brag on social media about how of a
- 4:49Speaker 2: cute wife I am.
- 4:52Speaker 1: So yeah.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Suddenly I get the selfie blah blah blah, and I'm like, Okay,
- 4:58Speaker 2: she will come out of this store in any second.
- 5:02Speaker 2: So I wait one minute, and I think, yeah, she
- 5:05Speaker 2: must be almost there. Could you imagine though, that she
- 5:10Speaker 2: had taken a different door and I didn't know, And
- 5:13Speaker 2: then she got home and I were still waiting for
- 5:17Speaker 2: her at the airport like an idiot.
- 5:19Speaker 1: That would have been hilarious.
- 5:22Speaker 2: And no, that didn't happen, but almost so two minutes
- 5:27Speaker 2: nothing for minutes, And I think, are the bands like
- 5:31Speaker 2: the suitcases bands? Are that far I mean not even
- 5:35Speaker 2: the furthest one is that far. The airport is really
- 5:38Speaker 2: not that big. Four minutes nothing, Okay, So I think
- 5:43Speaker 2: it's not going to be a great surprise anymore. But
- 5:46Speaker 2: just to be sure, I'll send her the photo of
- 5:49Speaker 2: the gate and the flowers and so on, so.
- 5:50Speaker 1: She knows that I'm here.
- 5:52Speaker 2: And yes, I don't know how it happened that I
- 5:55Speaker 2: didn't see her getting out.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I was right in front of the gate, but we
- 6:01Speaker 1: didn't see each other.
- 6:02Speaker 2: But fortunately she saw the photo just in time to
- 6:05Speaker 2: get up her taxi and come and find me.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So, yeah, a.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Cute little surprise that was almost a big and embarrassing fail. Yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 2: but at the end we managed to meet at the
- 6:17Speaker 2: airport and we came back home together. She loved her surprise,
- 6:21Speaker 2: especially her schnitzel. And yeah, same section of the podcast,
- 6:28Speaker 2: Friends and Connections. Something that I did this month that
- 6:31Speaker 2: I think is definitely worth it to be mentioned is
- 6:34Speaker 2: a monster hunt at Brata. In case you don't know,
- 6:37Speaker 2: Prata is a huge park in Vienna.
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's about six square kilometers.
- 6:43Speaker 2: With green areas and also has a free entry amusement park.
- 6:48Speaker 2: And for months now, Eva had been talking about playing
- 6:51Speaker 2: this city game, which is basically like a monster hunt.
- 6:55Speaker 2: So you get some cards with leads that you have
- 6:57Speaker 2: to like scratch off, and then you have to find
- 7:02Speaker 2: like you follow the leads and you have to find
- 7:04Speaker 2: some buildings and monuments or marks in one specific area
- 7:08Speaker 2: of the city.
- 7:09Speaker 1: So it was really fun.
- 7:13Speaker 2: If you're looking for new ways maybe to walk more,
- 7:16Speaker 2: get a city game and walk around.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I think it's also.
- 7:19Speaker 2: A really nice way to get to know the city
- 7:23Speaker 2: a little bit better and to notice things that you
- 7:27Speaker 2: never noticed before.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I did that once in Venice as.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Well, with a book, like a hidden gem book kind
- 7:35Speaker 2: of a thing.
- 7:36Speaker 1: And although I walked around Venice.
- 7:38Speaker 2: A lot back in the days, with this book, I
- 7:41Speaker 2: got to notice new things. So yeah, that's nice.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Guys.
- 7:46Speaker 2: If you made it this far in the August episode,
- 7:50Speaker 2: I just want to thank you.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I have received super nice, extra.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Long audio message after I sent you my update, and
- 7:58Speaker 2: that's exactly what I'm doing this. Recently, someone sent me
- 8:02Speaker 2: like a sixteen minute voice message after they listened to
- 8:06Speaker 2: the episode, and honestly, I loved it. I kept it
- 8:09Speaker 2: there for coffee time and I really enjoyed having my
- 8:13Speaker 2: coffee and listening to my friend telling me their story
- 8:16Speaker 2: and so on or their update. So yeah, keep me
- 8:19Speaker 2: keep on sending me your news after my news, of course,
- 8:23Speaker 2: only if you feel like no pressure.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Awesome.
- 8:27Speaker 2: A huge fan of the show asked me to send
- 8:30Speaker 2: her a shout out to her. Nah, I'm just kidding.
- 8:34Speaker 2: She's not a fan of the show. There's not even
- 8:35Speaker 2: a show. On the contrary, I'm a huge fan of
- 8:38Speaker 2: my dear friend Mirto aka Greca, my favorite Greek in
- 8:42Speaker 2: the universe. Mirto, thank you for listening to my updates,
- 8:45Speaker 2: and thank you for sending me yours. I truly enjoy it.
- 8:49Speaker 2: It makes me feel connected and present. I'm very proud
- 8:52Speaker 2: of you, my friend. I love you and I miss
- 8:54Speaker 2: you always.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Saya Gop.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Okay, that got very cheesy, So now I will update
- 9:01Speaker 2: you on my adventures of August adventures. Okay, so the
- 9:06Speaker 2: first one, Eva took me to a lake in Upper Austria.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Oh my god, what a place. We went for a
- 9:11Speaker 2: walk around the black Bath scene. The landscape is beautiful.
- 9:16Speaker 2: We took some hiking snacks, we walk around, took photos,
- 9:20Speaker 2: and ended the two or three hour walking tour swimming
- 9:25Speaker 2: in the lake. The water was crystal clear, not cold,
- 9:29Speaker 2: not hot.
- 9:29Speaker 1: It was perfect.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Then we went to another lake, but not for another swim.
- 9:36Speaker 2: We went there to eat fish on a stick. It
- 9:39Speaker 2: was theicious And since we were in Upper Austria, we
- 9:45Speaker 2: stayed the night at her parents. And the thing is
- 9:48Speaker 2: that they have a cat, and lately I've gotten more
- 9:52Speaker 2: and more allergic to cats, Like it gets really bad that, like.
- 9:57Speaker 1: I cannot breathe. So yeah, what we did to.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Avoid my imminent death caused by their family cat, Kira, Well,
- 10:08Speaker 2: we camped in the garden and I had never campt
- 10:13Speaker 2: in my life. I had never slept in a tent,
- 10:16Speaker 2: but we did it this time and it was really
- 10:19Speaker 2: fun and exciting. And I'm sharing this in the adventure
- 10:23Speaker 2: section because even when it was just camping in the garden,
- 10:26Speaker 2: it was quite an adventure.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Guys. Let me tell you more about it.
- 10:31Speaker 2: We were ready to sleep, eye masks on, all covered up,
- 10:36Speaker 2: and suddenly I hear someone or something scratching our tent.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Of course, I freaked out.
- 10:47Speaker 2: And guess what, I think Kira was mad because we
- 10:51Speaker 2: frustrated her plan to kill me, so she decided to
- 10:54Speaker 2: follow us and just do it. No, I'm kidding. Actually,
- 10:59Speaker 2: Kira is real cutie. And I'm very sad that I'm
- 11:02Speaker 2: allergic to her, because I think she really likes me,
- 11:05Speaker 2: and she was probably just curious about the tent, so
- 11:08Speaker 2: she was walking around and playing with it. She even
- 11:13Speaker 2: jumped on it and tore the ten down, falling on us.
- 11:17Speaker 2: So of course she scared the shed out of us
- 11:19Speaker 2: because we didn't see it coming. But looking back to
- 11:23Speaker 2: that moment, it's actually pretty funny. Another adventure is that
- 11:30Speaker 2: I just started doing CrossFit. I have to tell you
- 11:34Speaker 2: I have been curious about it for years, but I
- 11:37Speaker 2: was too scared to try. But this month a colleague
- 11:40Speaker 2: from work sent me a special offer from her CrossFit
- 11:43Speaker 2: place that happens to be around the corner of my place,
- 11:47Speaker 2: which is very convenient. And yeah, they were giving some
- 11:50Speaker 2: three month trials, so I thought this was my chance.
- 11:55Speaker 2: And remember I told you that I've been working out,
- 11:57Speaker 2: focusing on myself, on my health and trying to try
- 12:00Speaker 2: new things and so on. Well, so I'm still on
- 12:03Speaker 2: that mindset and I took the trial month.
- 12:06Speaker 1: The verydict, I loved it.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yes, it's difficult, challenging, exhausting, and I'm still scared of it,
- 12:15Speaker 2: but it's fun and I feel really happy after every session,
- 12:18Speaker 2: so I think I'll keep on going. Yeah, something different
- 12:24Speaker 2: that happened this month too is the Cemetery concert. Even
- 12:29Speaker 2: I attended to this concert, so you know, on one
- 12:33Speaker 2: of those it's one of those random things that you
- 12:36Speaker 2: see on social media and then you say, sure, why not.
- 12:38Speaker 2: So I suggested it to Eva and we went together.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Prose of the experience, it's something different and cool to do.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I had never been to a concert in a cemetery.
- 12:48Speaker 2: I'd been on a date in a cemetery, and I
- 12:51Speaker 2: thought it was a bit creepy, but looking back, it
- 12:53Speaker 2: was actually quite original. But anyways, that's a story for
- 12:56Speaker 2: a different kind of podcast. Come some of the experience.
- 13:00Speaker 2: We had to be there an hour and a half
- 13:02Speaker 2: before the concert started, and the chairs were super uncomfortable. Also,
- 13:07Speaker 2: to be honest, it was not really the kind of
- 13:09Speaker 2: music that I thought it was gonna be. I thought
- 13:11Speaker 2: it was gonna be like classical music, since in this
- 13:13Speaker 2: cemetery it's like the Central Fridov like the Central Cemetery,
- 13:19Speaker 2: and they have honorary graves two very famous musicians like
- 13:24Speaker 2: Schubert or Beethoven and so on. But it was more
- 13:28Speaker 2: like folks music, like the kind of music that a
- 13:30Speaker 2: countryside dad would listen to. Nothing against that just not
- 13:36Speaker 2: my cup of tea. In any case, it was something
- 13:39Speaker 2: different to do on a Friday night, So yeah, it
- 13:41Speaker 2: was fun and less adventure of the month.
- 13:45Speaker 1: It was an ice big bike trip last weekend.
- 13:49Speaker 2: We felt like it could be the last summer weekend
- 13:54Speaker 2: or the last weekend with a decent weather for a
- 13:56Speaker 2: bike trip, so.
- 13:57Speaker 1: We decided to do that.
- 13:58Speaker 2: We got ready if a pretty birds and snacks, we
- 14:01Speaker 2: got all sporty and some one. We got all helmets
- 14:03Speaker 2: because if this our passion, and we embarked on the adventure.
- 14:08Speaker 2: We backed across the city, past the ring. We got
- 14:11Speaker 2: to Maria Heilpestrase and then something cut my.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Eye, but I'm not going to tell you what it was.
- 14:16Speaker 2: So we continued until we sorry, I'm getting sick or
- 14:20Speaker 2: maybe I'm just tired.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Wait, I need a break and I'm back. So anyways,
- 14:27Speaker 1: we continued.
- 14:27Speaker 2: We reached the opera and then we stop at a
- 14:30Speaker 2: street light.
- 14:31Speaker 1: So Iva turns.
- 14:32Speaker 2: She looks at me and she's like, the weather isn't great, right,
- 14:36Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, but it's okay. I mean, it's
- 14:39Speaker 2: also not that bad, and she goes, you know, when
- 14:42Speaker 2: the weather gets a bit colder, we should go to
- 14:46Speaker 2: the movies. And then I tell her aren they showing
- 14:50Speaker 2: freakier Fridays at the movies? And Maria hilpestrasa. So yeah,
- 14:55Speaker 2: that's exactly what cut my eye. And it was like
- 14:58Speaker 2: I thought about it, but it didn't dare to say.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Anything, and I'm like, should we?
- 15:04Speaker 2: And then we bought tickets and don't get me wrong,
- 15:07Speaker 2: I mean we still biked a little bit more because
- 15:09Speaker 2: the movie was only an hour and a half later.
- 15:12Speaker 2: But we didn't make it as far as we wanted,
- 15:15Speaker 2: but only because a better plan came up. The movie
- 15:17Speaker 2: was good. Of course, it's not a master piece. It's
- 15:21Speaker 2: not a piece of art or anything. And of course
- 15:23Speaker 2: the first one was better, but it was a good
- 15:26Speaker 2: Dominetta dominea is what we say in Mexico when a
- 15:29Speaker 2: movie is okay for a Sunday evening.
- 15:33Speaker 1: So yeah, and last but not least, the recommendation of
- 15:38Speaker 1: the month. It's a movie.
- 15:42Speaker 2: It's a Brazilian movie. I in the store a key
- 15:45Speaker 2: or in English, I think it's like the literal translation
- 15:49Speaker 2: to it, I'm still here. So it's a Brazilian biographical
- 15:54Speaker 2: drama about a family in real trying to lead a
- 15:58Speaker 2: normal life during the military dictator dictatorship. I think it's
- 16:02Speaker 2: in the sixties or.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Something like that.
- 16:05Speaker 2: My sister and I watched this movie at the Opener
- 16:07Speaker 2: Cinema on the library rooftop. Oh my god, Oh my god.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I talked like those girls, Oh my god. Anyways, it's
- 16:16Speaker 2: it's a really good movie, like really really good, so
- 16:21Speaker 2: good and so sad, but also so real and so powerful.
- 16:27Speaker 2: If you haven't watched it, you have to. You're welcome.
- 16:32Speaker 2: See you next month, Love you all. This episode was
