I feel like you're biased about that. No, I meant like we the best record. Uhhuh. Not not saying like I mean We have been playing like the best team except for the past couple of days, but our pitchers are still continuing to work their way back. I think Waldrip started taking some ⁓ rehab Drake Baldwin is gonna be taking some batting live batting practice the next two days and then he's gonna go to rehab assignment in Gwyneth this weekend. Ocuni just injured his hamstring so he's on another ten day I L. Which honestly I feel like they just as long as he's healthy for the postseason, 'cause the rest of our team has been picking up. healing the whole off season too. he wasn't injured the end of last year, no. 'Cause He came back from a second knee injury ⁓ last the middle of last season. Yeah. Well I just think because he's had so many injuries, maybe, you know, take hiatus for a while. He's a good catcher. But catcher? Yeah, he catches a good bit. Like catch in the outfield? Yeah, in the outfield. Yeah, it's just like his speed is so his speed is still great. It's just like he's gonna keep No, I know that it's a hamstring that's in your leg and and he's pulling it when he's running. And in the outfield you don't have to run as quickly. Yeah, there's some running, but it's not it's not as intense as when you're when you're having to run the bases and try to get there at a s at a certain speed. know. No, I mean I feel like there should be a him more. aren't they thinking of that ⁓ Drake decide to do ⁓ They always they've doing that quite a bit this year. but yeah. do know that Ocunya broke a a rec or did some for the first time in history I think. In a three Dance he had four home runs, walks and four stolen bases in a three game ⁓ 'cause he hit the Grand Slam and then went off for those two series. But yeah. the Braves are still playing. Yep. We went to our first game of the season last week. We try to get the the Braves crossover jersey. I would have been miserable the next day and you would have about it. It would have been bad. I would have been so annoyed. But I had to get up and ⁓ crazy 'cause I wake up before Way before you do. ⁓ Yeah, I ⁓ also need apparently my body needs eight to nine hours of sleep. String of fate. I'll just go into So, some of the legends and from myths and the stories, the gods tied an invisible red thread around the ankles or fingers of two people. Those people were destined to meet someday, even if they lived far apart, met later in life, ⁓ or through hard things first. The string would still connect them. the story was mostly about soulmates and love, but now people use it for all kinds of important relationships because people love to believe in it. So, you know, why do people believe in it? Because humans love finding meaning in things. Everyone wants to find a meaning kind of understanding, I feel like we could have been friends like pre earth ⁓ pre us coming down to the earth, ⁓ mm. ⁓ So this the science that is it. Yeah. So the pattern recognition, your brain notices patterns constantly. Example, you learn a new word ⁓ and then suddenly hear it ⁓ everywhere. The was there, your brain just started paying attention to ⁓ it. through our family, which is so surprising because our families are somewhat intertwine and have known of each other, but never once has it ever been a thought. Yeah, the craziest thing is that her uncle stayed on my grandfather's property. And he took your parents wedding pictures. Yeah. So crazy that not once did parents ⁓ Definitely you'll see that. Yeah. then ⁓ Information biased. This is when people notice things that support what they already believe. Example, if you think someone is meant for you, you notice all the similarities, all the all the timing, but ignore the things that don't fit the story. Humans do this all the time without reasoning. So that's like when they say you're is very well known for starting crazes and all that. So on TikTok people would share stories like meeting their best friend by accident reconnecting with someone years later ⁓ it just becomes like ⁓ you know those stories that you hear that are like, Me and my husband, you know, we once met and then turn ⁓ Humans like this idea so much because honestly, life can feel confusing and random. The invisible string theory gives people comfort. It makes people feel connected, important, understood, and hopeful. It also helps explain why some people impact us more than others. you know, like it's it's like a giant. It's like a giant spider web, your life. every choice connects to a new person, creating a new string, creating a new connection. ⁓ And Okay. and we're back. Do think that one person can completely change your life? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, someone in this room that has Yeah. Sitting right to me, so are there are there anything like any s I mean I could have not gone to the game night. Do you think that you would have ever reached out if you hadn't of gone to that game? No. Like you would reach out to me and also come up and talk to me. When you were coming to the church. Yeah. But Because you now knew about me. Yeah. Do you think you might have tried to initiate a friendship of any kind? Yeah, once I met you. No no no no no. I'm talking ⁓ like No, I because they told you, hey, there's gonna be this girl at the game night, she's single you know you knew who I was 'cause you know, you looked me up, would you have then, because you missed it, for whatever reason that you potentially missed it, do you think you would then try to reach out? I don't know if I would cold cut do that. But I did do that with 'cause I went on a blind date one time. Yeah, you talked about that one where you went to the golf course. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Okay. I probably could have still given it a chance. people have you felt an instant click to? Like outside of family? Just just kind of friends and the same amount of time I've the same amount of time you were working on. Yeah. She was hired just a little bit after me. And I had never once really tried to talk to her 'cause she's she's not in my team. She's in a different department. Different but we're in the same cubicle area. ⁓ never found her on the podcast. Yeah. If you go back ⁓ a few months ago. Yeah. And so it never occurred to me to talk to her in till was sitting close to where ⁓ cubicles were. Yeah, 'cause you guys moved closer together, right? Yeah. ⁓ moved ⁓ then ⁓ was on this side, I was on this side. And ⁓ we talked ⁓ and she moved over here and I moved down one and so we were sitting right next to each other. Yeah. And then also talking at the Christmas party, ⁓ we also at the Christmas party too. ⁓ Was another that I talked to her that ⁓ you know spiritual Yeah. ⁓ like said earlier, it's God's timing ⁓ for that's that's we all the coincidences that we could have met at a dance, at the school, ⁓ at church, like all times we sh see it as met on timing when it was right for us for us to meet and it was our and we were both We're we're lucky enough live in a world and just talked about this at church, that we're enough to live in world where we have, you know, the freedom of speech and we have freedoms and have you know, the Bill of Rights and everything like that. and to have the to practice ⁓ religion that you believe. so for basically when we got engaged. it was our engagement anniversary, guess. ⁓ Yeah. it passed while we were gone, right?
