• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, I used to give baby Cyrus this.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like when he was like six years old.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: He always had applesauce with dinner.

• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: Like Gavin and Lydia will take these.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's like they're eating on the space shuttle.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, Oh, yes.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: I have a hard time with that, but I don't know if you don't like food in a tube?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Except for when I was a kid, because do you remember the bubblegum that came in a tube?
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think I do.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, I haven't seen that in years.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: They had the weirdest food in tubes, but now the thought of eating.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, uh, you're right.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Because you're not really swallowing.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're not supposed to.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on a second.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta look something up.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even know if they still make that anymore.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: Either way, I was struggling to get up this morning.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: This is why I was like, come on, hit the gas.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: So our friend Bob was over yesterday, charged up my AC in the bedrooms, and I'm like, This is glorious.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, good.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad you got that done.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, it was so good.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: By the way, if anybody is a appliance technician, Bob desperately needs somebody.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: He was telling me on the way out yesterday, he goes, Scotty, because that's what he talks.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Scotty, he goes, I'm 71 years old.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: He goes, I've been going since 7 a.m.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: this morning.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_01: He goes, I gotta get a tech.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, well, I I I don't know too many people, but that's that's one of those lost arts.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: I hope it comes back.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think it will.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: I was actually just listening to a podcast the other day about Gen Zers leaning in towards um more manual, I wouldn't even say like hard manual labor, but trade work.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: And this is one of those ones, all right, every once in a while you gotta pull out a washing machine.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: But for the most part, if you're changing a control panel or you're changing a heating element, I think the money's probably pretty good in that industry.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would think that it is because again, it's a lost art.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: There's not many people doing it.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, he can Bob doesn't take advantage, but he can charge a little bit.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: He can be like, yeah, if you want it fixed, because what we've lived in a replace it all society for really decades now.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: So now we have to break that habit.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe you were sleeping in the warmth for this long.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, now that I have the cool now.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, I I it's almost like I I I don't even my body's like, this is the way it should be.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Just block out the past.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Especially, don't all eight puppies sleep in bed with you guys?
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's there's a pretty good amount of them that uh that pile in there.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: So that's that's a little extra heat for it.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's a whole other blanket.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it is.
