- 0:51Speaker 2: still I don't know, they're kind of out of the
- 0:53Speaker 2: pinch age. Luke may still want to run and pinch
- 0:56Speaker 2: I don't know, kind of Jill more likely to either
- 1:01Speaker 2: of them, now that I think about it. But anyway,
- 1:03Speaker 2: I hope you have, you know, you know, some sort
- 1:08Speaker 2: of safe plans if you're going to be celebrating today
- 1:11Speaker 2: it's Tuesday. It's kind of weird. A lot of people
- 1:12Speaker 2: did Saint Patrick's Day events That thinks over the over
- 1:16Speaker 2: the weekend. But if you are going out somewhere and
- 1:20Speaker 2: having any sort of celebratory beverage in the tradition of
- 1:25Speaker 2: the carols of old, you know, just remember there's no
- 1:30Speaker 2: reason to take any chances. There's too many options when
- 1:34Speaker 2: it comes to you know, take somebody with you that's
- 1:36Speaker 2: not drinking. That's step one, step two. You know, have
- 1:39Speaker 2: a plan on how you're getting somewhere, have a ride
- 1:42Speaker 2: worked out, make sure your Uber app is up to
- 1:45Speaker 2: date on your phone, and you're all that stuff. It's
- 1:47Speaker 2: it's too easy now to just get a ride. It's
- 1:50Speaker 2: not that complicated. So if you're going to go somewhere,
- 1:53Speaker 2: just be careful. We don't need any we don't need
- 1:56Speaker 2: any of those kinds of shenanigans. We need the good
- 1:59Speaker 2: kind of shenanigans, you know, that's what we need. We
- 2:03Speaker 2: don't need the bad stuff. We need the ability to
- 2:06Speaker 2: just have to eat our you know, bangers and mash
- 2:09Speaker 2: or Irish stew or whatever you're going to just potatoes,
- 2:13Speaker 2: lots and lots of potatoes. Have fun with your potatoes tonight.
- 2:18Speaker 2: And if you're gonna have a beverage, you know, and
- 2:22Speaker 2: I have people sometimes that will ask me because and
- 2:24Speaker 2: it's funny, because I am not a drink to excess person.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I have a couple of fingers of whiskey and a
- 2:33Speaker 2: glass occasionally. And I don't even do this even once
- 2:36Speaker 2: a month even, But when I do, when I'm ready
- 2:39Speaker 2: to have a beverage and just kind of sit there
- 2:41Speaker 2: on a Friday or Saturday night and I'm home and
- 2:43Speaker 2: I'm in my recliner and Jill's sitting there and we're
- 2:47Speaker 2: watching a movie or something together or the boys, I'll
- 2:50Speaker 2: have a beverage. I'm settled in for the evening. Right.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And because I sometimes talk about that here, people will say, well,
- 2:58Speaker 2: you know, what is your You know some recommendations, and
- 3:01Speaker 2: I've got friends at one in particular comes to mind
- 3:05Speaker 2: who is much more the the whiskey expert. I could
- 3:09Speaker 2: I could defer you to him on that, but I am.
- 3:14Speaker 2: It's not so much. I mean, if if you are
- 3:17Speaker 2: green any of the spots, you get a green spot,
- 3:19Speaker 2: you're in good shape. Right. That's That's what I'm telling you. You
- 3:22Speaker 2: want to do that if you want to go something
- 3:24Speaker 2: that's a little more budget friendly, uh, and you want
- 3:27Speaker 2: to go, you know, with a Jamison, that's fine that
- 3:30Speaker 2: that will Certainly that seems like it's kind of the old,
- 3:35Speaker 2: the old faithful. You want to do a tuller more
- 3:37Speaker 2: do that One's one that I've recommended to several friends
- 3:40Speaker 2: and they're like, yes, this one's good. And again, if
- 3:43Speaker 2: the price point is good, it's not gonna not gonna
- 3:46Speaker 2: you know, it's not gonna blow your budget. You can
- 3:50Speaker 2: you can usually get a good sized bottle of it too,
- 3:52Speaker 2: And if you're headed to a party or something that
- 3:56Speaker 2: usually works is quite a bit, you can get a
- 3:59Speaker 2: good sized bottle of it for not too much money.
- 4:01Speaker 2: So that's those are my basic recommendations. We can get
- 4:04Speaker 2: into some of the weeds with the other stuff. But again,
- 4:07Speaker 2: I got a friend who can tell you much better whiskeys,
- 4:10Speaker 2: bourbons and all that stuff. He is I've got a
- 4:12Speaker 2: couple of friends that are actually much better out than me.
- 4:14Speaker 2: But I want to particular who's a bit of a collector.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So so I want to uh. In food, there's a
- 4:22Speaker 2: lot of food options. You know, you don't have to
- 4:25Speaker 2: just eat potatoes, so just but know that, Like I
- 4:29Speaker 2: was talking with a friend last night and she said,
- 4:31Speaker 2: there's a fusion taco that you can do Irish taco
- 4:35Speaker 2: and I'm like, there's nothing Irish about tacos. Yes, you
- 4:38Speaker 2: can do fusion. That's not it's not traditional. That's not
- 4:43Speaker 2: what it is. There's too many other good things. Make.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Just make you a shepherd's pie. Get on with it.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna make some soda bread a little
- 4:51Speaker 2: bit later today. And that's one of my traditions. I
- 4:55Speaker 2: like to make soda bread and it. Uh, I don't know,
- 4:57Speaker 2: it's very addictive, very addictive, and we'll we'll probably end
- 5:01Speaker 2: up we usually make I usually make two over the
- 5:03Speaker 2: course of like the week of Saint Patrick's Day. Uh,
- 5:07Speaker 2: all right, I want to get into a couple of things.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I talked a great length about the Oscars. I I
- 5:12Speaker 2: did not watch a second of it. That's the maybe
- 5:15Speaker 2: the first time. I haven't watched any of the Oscars
- 5:18Speaker 2: since I was a kid. I I haven't watched much
- 5:22Speaker 2: of it for many years. I just it's not interesting
- 5:25Speaker 2: to me anymore. It's it's too much of a you know,
- 5:29Speaker 2: little let's get some attention kind of show. But uh,
- 5:35Speaker 2: and for and for all the wrong reasons in most cases,
- 5:38Speaker 2: it just really is. But uh, there's a story I
- 5:44Speaker 2: guess that's coming out of Boston, and I figured Saint
- 5:47Speaker 2: Patrick's Day Boston. It just seems to fit, and I
- 5:51Speaker 2: thought this would be my story for today, and it's
- 5:54Speaker 2: basically one where we know that the ice stuff is
- 5:57Speaker 2: calmed down quite a bit. But there was an opportunity
- 6:02Speaker 2: last month where a man wanted in El Salvador for
- 6:08Speaker 2: child rape was living in the vicinity, like nearby a
- 6:14Speaker 2: school in Boston and the Ice agents. This is over
- 6:20Speaker 2: a month ago, the twelfth of February. The ICE agents
- 6:23Speaker 2: were there. Now Boston is a sanctuary city. That's not
- 6:31Speaker 2: it's the kind of environment that you're setting up to
- 6:33Speaker 2: have this kind of thing happen. I'll just say it
- 6:35Speaker 2: that way. So you take someone who's wanted for this
- 6:38Speaker 2: horrific crime in another country, decides they're going to come
- 6:41Speaker 2: to America, they're going to just come across the border.
- 6:44Speaker 2: They're going to blend in, they're going to fit in.
- 6:46Speaker 2: They're going to go to a sanctuary city, probably in
- 6:49Speaker 2: a state where they want you to be in that
- 6:52Speaker 2: city when the census is taken to help give them
- 6:55Speaker 2: more representation. That's part of what this con job is
- 6:58Speaker 2: that people pretend is not what's happened. So ICE agents
- 7:03Speaker 2: were there and they were getting ready to make this
- 7:06Speaker 2: arrest someone wanted for child rape in another country, and
- 7:10Speaker 2: they were ready and living by a school, and they
- 7:13Speaker 2: were ready to go in and get the guy illegal
- 7:16Speaker 2: El Salvador, that's where he was from. So as they
- 7:19Speaker 2: were getting to go in this person Walter Roberto Vedez Ortes,
- 7:26Speaker 2: and they're getting ready to go make the arrest February twelfth,
- 7:32Speaker 2: and that's when the ICE agitators or whatever they're called,
- 7:38Speaker 2: whatever this rebellion is, this resistance movement that they think
- 7:42Speaker 2: that they're doing, they start jumping out of the vehicles
- 7:48Speaker 2: and start blowing whistles, swearing at them, calling them criminals,
- 7:54Speaker 2: accusing them of what they're doing by being here. You're
- 7:57Speaker 2: upsetting the children that live here. They're doing what they're
- 8:01Speaker 2: doing in the name of children. Right now, we're here
- 8:06Speaker 2: to protect the children. So the attention and the noise
- 8:11Speaker 2: and everything involved in it blew their cover and this
- 8:14Speaker 2: guy was able to get away, and he was still
- 8:19Speaker 2: on the loose, living near this school for a whole
- 8:21Speaker 2: other month. Yeah, and that's an extra month of someone
- 8:30Speaker 2: who is wanted accused of child rape living near a
- 8:39Speaker 2: school in a country where they don't belong because of
- 8:43Speaker 2: the Hey, we don't like ICE, we don't like anything
- 8:46Speaker 2: to do with Trump. We didn't protest Ice, we didn't
- 8:48Speaker 2: protest the deportations and things during past administrations. But we're
- 8:55Speaker 2: going to do it with this one because we don't
- 8:56Speaker 2: like the Orange Man. So rather than and actually encouraging
- 9:02Speaker 2: the removal of this guy from this community, from this
- 9:08Speaker 2: school area, they actually helped him stay there longer, blowing
- 9:12Speaker 2: their horns and blowing whistles and doing everything that they
- 9:15Speaker 2: can to keep the ICE agents from getting the guy
- 9:21Speaker 2: away from the kids. And then they do it in
- 9:23Speaker 2: the name of the kids. That's what's so disturbing. That's
- 9:27Speaker 2: what's so frightening, right is you sit there and you
- 9:30Speaker 2: pretend that you're doing something in the name of children,
- 9:35Speaker 2: but you're actually putting children in danger. You're making things
- 9:39Speaker 2: worse for children, and it is it's despicable, and you
- 9:47Speaker 2: want to pretend that there's something good to come of it,
- 9:54Speaker 2: and it's just not. You know, it's not. There's nothing
- 10:00Speaker 2: good good to come from it at all. Back to
- 10:03Speaker 2: the oscars, and I talked about it yesterday. I guess
- 10:05Speaker 2: there was a bit of controversy. There was a joke
- 10:08Speaker 2: that was made that's caused a few people to be
- 10:10Speaker 2: worked up. I don't know. Listen, you be as upset
- 10:15Speaker 2: about whatever you want to be upset about. I'm going
- 10:17Speaker 2: to tell you right now, in the context of it,
- 10:20Speaker 2: and I didn't watch it when it happened, but in
- 10:23Speaker 2: the context of it, it didn't necessarily find it offensive.
- 10:27Speaker 2: I think it was a joke that kind of missed
- 10:28Speaker 2: the mark, and that's all it was. To me. That's
- 10:31Speaker 2: my opinion of it. But I guess Camille and Johnny,
- 10:38Speaker 2: I think it's how you say his name. He was
- 10:40Speaker 2: in the movie The Eternals, Marvel movie. He was in
- 10:44Speaker 2: the show Franklin and Bash. That's what I know him from.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I mean, I saw the Marvel movie. It wasn't very good.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I like the show Franklin and Bash. I really liked
- 10:52Speaker 2: that show. But he was up talking about short films,
- 10:56Speaker 2: and he was talking about the challenges of shortening a film.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You know, you've got a story that you want to tell,
- 11:03Speaker 2: but you've got to tell it in a really short context.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And he was giving some examples of other, you know,
- 11:09Speaker 2: things that would be shortened. Right. He was he was
- 11:12Speaker 2: talking about taking things, and he was giving some examples
- 11:17Speaker 2: of movies that they would have to shorten them down
- 11:28Speaker 2: and make them, you know, into this shorter format. And
- 11:33Speaker 2: people were upset about one of the jokes that he made,
- 11:38Speaker 2: and they're calling it a cheap shot Holocaust joke, and
- 11:46Speaker 2: you know, it's one of those things where I don't
- 11:50Speaker 2: blame people if they're upset. I don't blame people if
- 11:53Speaker 2: they're offended. I think it was just a weak attempt
- 11:56Speaker 2: at a joke. But he basically said the real art
- 11:59Speaker 2: to making a short film is transitioning things like It's
- 12:05Speaker 2: a Wonderful life to It's a Wonderful Month the King's
- 12:09Speaker 2: Speech to the King's tweet and Schindler's List to Schindler's posted.
- 12:18Speaker 2: There were a lot of Jewish people on X offended,
- 12:23Speaker 2: not appreciating it, not thinking that the joke was in
- 12:28Speaker 2: good taste. You know. I don't know how offended people
- 12:33Speaker 2: were at the Seinfeld episode where he was, you know,
- 12:39Speaker 2: at Schindler's List making out with a woman in the
- 12:42Speaker 2: movie theater. I think it's kind of in the same spirit.
- 12:45Speaker 2: It's an attempt at a joke. I don't know if
- 12:48Speaker 2: it's really funny. I don't know. I mean, it's just
- 12:52Speaker 2: a weak attempt. I think. I think that's what it is.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I think it's a weak attempt at a joke. There
- 12:58Speaker 2: were a lot of jokes that just it's completely fell flat,
- 13:01Speaker 2: and that's kind of the way it goes at the Oscars.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Now there's an attempt. But anyway, I wouldn't have made
- 13:08Speaker 2: the joke. I don't necessarily think it was a good joke.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I don't. There's a lot of those jokes though, that
- 13:14Speaker 2: aren't good jokes. So anyway, some people are upset, some
- 13:20Speaker 2: people took offense to it. And then then on top
- 13:24Speaker 2: of that, you have this thing that really gets some attention.
- 13:26Speaker 2: And again that's what the Oscars are about, is trying
- 13:29Speaker 2: to draw attention to these movies. And then that particular
- 13:32Speaker 2: category ends up having two winners, I guess, first time
- 13:36Speaker 2: ever a tie for the two winners for this first time,
- 13:41Speaker 2: at least for this category. I don't know if it's
- 13:42Speaker 2: ever happened with anything, if they've ever had a tie
- 13:45Speaker 2: before in any category, but I don't know. I think
- 13:48Speaker 2: it's much ado when it comes to But again, it's
- 13:51Speaker 2: not to be dismissive if you found it offensive. I'm
- 13:54Speaker 2: not going to tell you shouldn't have found it offensive.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I just thought it was a weak attempt at That's
- 14:00Speaker 2: my thoughts on it. And it was a joke that
- 14:02Speaker 2: fell flat at the Oscars. What a shock, right. Today's
- 14:05Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
- 14:08Speaker 2: Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future
- 14:14Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I mean, they do it for school age kids as
- 14:22Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 14:25Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
- 14:28Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 14:34Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you
- 14:38Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
- 14:42Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
- 14:48Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
- 14:53Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
- 14:55Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
- 14:59Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 15:03Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 15:06Speaker 2: you think is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 15:09Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 15:14Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 15:18Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
- 15:26Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
- 15:29Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 15:32Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 15:36Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 15:38Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
- 15:42Speaker 2: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
- 15:46Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
- 15:51Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
- 15:54Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 15:59Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 16:02Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 16:08Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 16:12Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 16:15Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 16:18Speaker 2: square and that away for you. And while they're there,
- 16:21Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 16:23Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 16:30Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 16:32Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 16:35Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 16:39Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 16:42Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
- 16:46Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 16:49Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 16:52Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 16:54Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 16:58Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but in door. You know, if you
- 17:00Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 17:02Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
- 17:05Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
- 17:07Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
- 17:10Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 17:13Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 17:15Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 17:18Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 17:21Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

- 17:32Speaker 2: Right after the break, researchers say that AI is having
- 17:44Speaker 2: an impact on the way that we think. So, yeah,
- 17:49Speaker 2: it's more than just recipes and helping you write an
- 17:54Speaker 2: email or a resume. Apparently, using it is rewiring how
- 17:59Speaker 2: we think and we don't even notice it. According to
- 18:01Speaker 2: the research says that every search result, recommendation perfectly time
- 18:06Speaker 2: suggestion nudges our attention, our preferences, even our beliefs in
- 18:11Speaker 2: tiny ways over time. So instead of us choosing what
- 18:15Speaker 2: we want to explore, there are algorithms that starts shaping
- 18:21Speaker 2: the way what we see, what we click, and what
- 18:24Speaker 2: we assume is important. And because the content feels personalized
- 18:30Speaker 2: and effortless, we rarely even question it. The big concern,
- 18:33Speaker 2: of course, is that we could be outsourcing so much
- 18:36Speaker 2: of our thinking to AI that we forget how to reason,
- 18:40Speaker 2: reflect and explore on our own. We kind of were
- 18:45Speaker 2: already doing that without AI, all right, I mean when
- 18:50Speaker 2: you just one day hear Hey, the healthcare CEO company
- 18:55Speaker 2: ceo gets murdered, and you just kind of go, yeah, good.
- 19:00Speaker 2: You know, it's not somebody thinking on their own. You know,
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's like a group think thing, and you're just kind
- 19:06Speaker 2: of boy, I hate healthcare. Let's kill a guy. I
- 19:11Speaker 2: didn't like that guy who sat at schools and encourage
- 19:13Speaker 2: people to talk to each other. Get him, you know,
- 19:17Speaker 2: as we were kind of already doing that, weren't we.
- 19:19Speaker 2: So it got really aggressive there it means for that
- 19:21Speaker 2: to get so aggressive, But it's true, we've kind of
- 19:25Speaker 2: already given away all of our ability to reason in
- 19:31Speaker 2: so many ways, haven't we. All Right, have you done
- 19:35Speaker 2: puppy yoga or you've seen some kind of acute animal yoga,
- 19:39Speaker 2: and whether it's cats or goats, depending on you know,
- 19:42Speaker 2: where you are, if goats are readily available, but puppies,
- 19:47Speaker 2: it's always cute. And it's often those videos where the
- 19:50Speaker 2: puppy runs up and starts, you know, biting mom on
- 19:55Speaker 2: the butt who's doing the yoga. That happens a lot. Well,
- 19:58Speaker 2: apparently there's a whole new animal yoga experience. It takes
- 20:02Speaker 2: place in Portland. Of course, what's their slogan? Keep Portland. Weird.
- 20:06Speaker 2: They're offering snake yoga. That's their slogan. I didn't make
- 20:09Speaker 2: it up. Snake yoga. You know there is a cobra
- 20:14Speaker 2: pose right, you can get a real snake slithering around
- 20:17Speaker 2: your body while you're doing it. The class is held
- 20:20Speaker 2: at a reptile pet store called HISS, and I do
- 20:24Speaker 2: the long because it's got three s's in it. Hiss,
- 20:29Speaker 2: the owner, came up with the idea to offer snake
- 20:31Speaker 2: yoga and reached out to yoga teacher Katie Vanik, who
- 20:35Speaker 2: had no experience with snakes but was willing to give
- 20:38Speaker 2: it a try. Classes have been well attended. About eighty
- 20:41Speaker 2: percent of participants are snake fans to begin with. The
- 20:45Speaker 2: rest are hoping to get over their fear of snakes.
- 20:47Speaker 2: The class uses a variety of snakes, mostly pythons. I
- 20:52Speaker 2: would hope they're sticking with the non venomous. The pythons
- 20:55Speaker 2: are you know, you just gotta where they're gonna choke
- 20:58Speaker 2: you out, otherwise you're all right. But they range in
- 21:01Speaker 2: size from one foot up to seven feet long. That's
- 21:04Speaker 2: probably a python, the big seven footers. I would imagine
- 21:10Speaker 2: that snakes could be very therapeutic. It's just a strange thing,
- 21:16Speaker 2: like yoga, and snake seems weird to me, but I
- 21:19Speaker 2: get it if you've ever if you've ever held a
- 21:23Speaker 2: snake or snakes for any length of time, if you've
- 21:26Speaker 2: ever done that, there is something very therapeutic about the
- 21:29Speaker 2: way they move and slither. And I know they're not
- 21:31Speaker 2: for everybody, but I've spent some time with some snakes
- 21:35Speaker 2: over the years, and it's been a while, but they're
- 21:39Speaker 2: fun to hold. They are and there is something it's
- 21:43Speaker 2: almost like a massage in your hands as they're moving around.
- 21:46Speaker 2: It's something to do with the way that they move.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Does your relationship have a swag gap? That basically is
- 21:54Speaker 2: what happens when a relationship has one partner that has
- 21:58Speaker 2: more style, confidence, and so clout then the other. The
- 22:01Speaker 2: problem isn't just about close though. The gap can lead
- 22:05Speaker 2: to discomfort or embarrassment, and it's uh, get one partner
- 22:12Speaker 2: that kind of feels less cool insecure starts presenting the
- 22:14Speaker 2: other one. The power imbalance can cause the relationship to
- 22:18Speaker 2: feel unstable. One person ends up making all the social choices,
- 22:22Speaker 2: the other just feels kind of left out and left behind.
- 22:25Speaker 2: But not all as lost. Experts say that what really
- 22:28Speaker 2: matters is creating emotional safety, not competing over who looks
- 22:32Speaker 2: cool er. If both partners focus on building each other up,
- 22:35Speaker 2: staying curious about their differences instead of judging them, then
- 22:38Speaker 2: the gap shrinks and the connection gets stronger. So that's uh,
- 22:44Speaker 2: that's nice. That's good showing that you can work on
- 22:46Speaker 2: it and bridge the gap if you in fact have
- 22:49Speaker 2: one that'll do it. For this Tuesday edition of the show,
