  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 62 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: Hi everyone.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: Now, this particular word or phrase of the episode comes from a listener request and that word is gangbusters, gangbusters.
• 0:46
  I Hate Talking: So we have not looked up this word and I have some idea of the definition.
• 0:51
  I Hate Talking: But perhaps I'll let you go first and you can give your thoughts on the word gangbusters and what it means.
• 0:59
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I mean, just from context, I feel like I only hear it when people are like, this party went off like gangbusters.
• 1:07
  I Hate Talking: Like, it went off really big and really successful, or very popular or positive.
• 1:14
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that's good.
• 1:16
  I Hate Talking: I think that's actually perhaps even a better definition that what came to my mind because what comes to my mind is not necessarily a definition itself, but more of synonyms and those synonyms are other phrases like all out or full tilt or that you're going with reckless abandoned.
• 1:36
  I Hate Talking: So probably not great definitions in and of themselves, but really just describing gangbusters with other phrases that have that similar intent.
• 1:46
  I Hate Talking: Yes, like you said, something that goes off with a Largeness to it or a positive outcome.
• 1:55
  I Hate Talking: So, that is what comes to my mind when the term gangbusters is used.
• 2:01
  I Hate Talking: Can you use it in any other way than that, like going off in like Game busters?
• 2:07
  I Hate Talking: I guess from like the literal perspective if you're like a police officer and you're busting gangs or something.
• 2:13
  I Hate Talking: Right.
• 2:15
  I Hate Talking: Cause even when I was giving my idea, I was like, no, this can't be right.
• 2:20
  I Hate Talking: I guess game busting, breaking up games is positive.
• 2:23
  I Hate Talking: So, we did look this up in the dictionary and it does appear in the Oxford language dictionary, which did surprise me, however, there is a note here in the definition.
• 2:36
  I Hate Talking: That it is an informal term used by North America.
• 2:41
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 2:42
  I Hate Talking: So the definition given according to the Oxford language dictionary is #1, a police officer or other person who takes part in breaking up criminal gangs.
• 2:53
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah.
• 2:54
  I Hate Talking: Or #2, very successful.
• 2:57
  I Hate Talking: So, to continue on that, it gives more information that it is a term that means to be very successful or to perform exceptionally well.
• 3:08
  I Hate Talking: And it makes sense, right?
• 3:10
  I Hate Talking: Like, if the police were to break up again.
• 3:14
  I Hate Talking: Be so that they don't hurt anyone.
• 3:17
  I Hate Talking: That is successful and very positive.
• 3:21
  I Hate Talking: Do other countries use the word gain like we do?
• 3:24
  I Hate Talking: Am I saying it right?
• 3:27
  I Hate Talking: Can other people understand the word I'm saying?
• 3:29
  I Hate Talking: Gang, I think so.
• 3:31
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 3:31
  I Hate Talking: I would suppose that other countries that are English speaking would use the word gang.
• 3:38
  I Hate Talking: I think that would be.
• 3:39
  I Hate Talking: Maybe somewhat use more within.
• 3:43
  I Hate Talking: American English than quote unquote standard English, but I think that other English speakers across the world would be familiar with the term gang as like a group of people and maybe Of ill repute.
• 3:58
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 3:59
  I Hate Talking: So the Ngram viewer on Gangbusters shows that this was really only used in the 1940s and then during the 1950s, 1960s, really all the way up through 2000, had a very steep incline and then it sort of is flat since that time.
• 4:19
  I Hate Talking: So not a very old word per se, but actually got a lot of popularity.
• 4:27
  I Hate Talking: In a very steep incline from 1950 to 2000.
• 4:32
  I Hate Talking: So it started, like you said in the 40s.
• 4:34
  I Hate Talking: Correct.
• 4:35
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it looks actually, if I zoom in to the time period, it looks like 1930 would have actually been the very start of the incline.
• 4:45
  I Hate Talking: 1930 to like 1950 and then it sort of flattens out and then 1960 it takes off through the 2000s.
• 4:54
  I Hate Talking: Is that kind of when like quote unquote games took place?
• 4:58
  I Hate Talking: I think of like the newsies or like all those kind of, you know, read all about it, you know, like the guy on the corner with the newspapers and stuff, like all those old school kind of games, that would be around that time frame, right?
• 5:12
  I Hate Talking: Or am I mistaken?
• 5:13
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think Gangs of New York would have been around that time as well, so perhaps, but that is actually, according to the research that we did right now, not the origin of gangbusters.
• 5:27
  I Hate Talking: What is it?
• 5:28
  I Hate Talking: So it actually came about because of a radio show.
• 5:33
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 5:34
  I Hate Talking: So there was a popular radio show in the 1930s that aired from the 1930s to the late 1950s, known as Gangbusters, and it was known for dramatic and abrupt sound effects, especially at the beginning of each episode, such as police sirens, gunshots, and other loud noises.
• 5:56
  I Hate Talking: which were intended to create a sense of drama and excitement, and then basically that phrase gangbusters or quote unquote like gangbusters became associated with that show's energy and suddenness of its use of sound effects, and then it later became generalized to describe any situation that starts or progresses quickly and strongly.
• 6:24
  I Hate Talking: And then like we read in the definition of the modern usage where it is referring to something that is done as a success or something that is done exceptionally well, but I think does still have a lot of those same things in mind with a high energy or abruptness perhaps as well.
• 6:44
  I Hate Talking: Right, yeah, like the shock, like, oh, that was very successful.
• 6:48
  I Hate Talking: I'm very shocked.
• 6:49
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, so that is the etymology of the word gangbusters.
• 6:54
  I Hate Talking: It actually is completely derived from the name of the radio show.
• 6:58
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 7:00
  I Hate Talking: OK, so how can we use it in modern day?
• 7:02
  I Hate Talking: Well, perhaps someday, I hate Talking will be just a phrase that people use to indicate that they like talking about words and phrases and etymology and a variety of random subjects.
• 7:16
  I Hate Talking: When it's sort of counterintuitive that I hate talking would be a phrase to indicate that because perhaps really they do love talking.
• 7:25
  I Hate Talking: All right.
• 7:26
  I Hate Talking: But in terms of how gangbusters would be used today, I think it really would be perhaps some of that high energy successful outcome.
• 7:36
  I Hate Talking: But I don't really use that particular word in everyday usage, but at least maybe we know a little bit more now about what it means and where it comes from when someone else uses that particular term.
• 7:50
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 7:50
  I Hate Talking: So we are going gangbusters in the month of June.
• 7:54
  I Hate Talking: We alluded to some of those things, or at least one of those things in our last episode with you beginning to learn guitar and all of our kids learning some form of instrument for the summer break.
• 8:07
  I Hate Talking: So that is one of the things that we're going gangbusters on and then perhaps learning languages is something that I'm catching up on, but You and our oldest have been involved with for the last few months or even longer.
• 8:24
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I mean, it's been several years, but like intentionally very purposefully daily.
• 8:30
  I Hate Talking: It's been a couple months now, and we're learning Japanese, and it is so hard, and it's really fun.
• 8:38
  I Hate Talking: It's starting to click in some ways.
• 8:40
  I Hate Talking: I'm learning enough, I, I can't carry conversation.
• 8:44
  I Hate Talking: But I'm learning enough now that I can say a phrase in the appropriate context.
• 8:50
  I Hate Talking: And so that's exciting.
• 8:52
  I Hate Talking: Indeed.
• 8:53
  I Hate Talking: So, and I started that process, I guess 2 or 3 weeks ago now and have been trying to catch up with you and our oldest.
• 9:04
  I Hate Talking: So, For that particular thing, we are all using Duolingo, which seems to be beneficial so far and learning some words and a little bit of phraseology, but I'm really just on the vocabulary stage right now, I suppose.
• 9:21
  I Hate Talking: And I still don't understand articles.
• 9:24
  I Hate Talking: I don't understand when they translated it with a or the versus the article not being present at all.
• 9:34
  I Hate Talking: It looks the exact same to me on.
• 9:37
  I Hate Talking: Whether it shows up or not.
• 9:39
  I Hate Talking: Well, I think it's gonna make more sense as you're going on.
• 9:44
  I Hate Talking: You haven't learned like Adamson, like, you haven't learned that yet, right?
• 9:49
  I Hate Talking: Not all of that, but No, I hear some of these words in there, but I don't understand the structure or articles.
• 10:00
  I Hate Talking: So we should just move on because I'm not an expert either.
• 10:03
  I Hate Talking: But when you're talking about like the articles, it's very different from our English because There and those.
• 10:15
  I Hate Talking: And um here, like those sort of words are all very different.
• 10:23
  I Hate Talking: And whether that word there is present, will mean whether like the word A is present in English.
• 10:31
  I Hate Talking: It's not there in their language.
• 10:33
  I Hate Talking: We have to add it to English to make it sense.
• 10:36
  I Hate Talking: Does that make sense?
• 10:38
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 10:40
  I Hate Talking: I'll have to find an example where like the exact same phrase is sometimes translated as she's this thing and then where it's translated as he's a this thing.
• 10:53
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, OK, I'm could be super wrong.
• 10:55
  I Hate Talking: I don't think they differentiate between he and she.
• 10:58
  I Hate Talking: And that is confusing.
• 11:00
  I Hate Talking: It's like, when I've even asked our kid about it who's farther along, he's like, you just do it from context.
• 11:07
  I Hate Talking: So, OK.
• 11:08
  I Hate Talking: And that may actually be the difference because I think all of the examples that I think of that I get wrong in this article issue is a difference in gender.
• 11:20
  I Hate Talking: Hm, interesting.
• 11:22
  I Hate Talking: They might run, so maybe not because I don't believe I've ever gotten a gender one, Ron.
• 11:26
  I Hate Talking: But there's a different thing like the word son.
• 11:29
  I Hate Talking: So Adamson, right?
• 11:32
  I Hate Talking: That's your name?
• 11:33
  I Hate Talking: But if I translated to English, you would just say Adam.
• 11:37
  I Hate Talking: Yes, I did notice that, that you don't use the song to refer to yourself.
• 11:41
  I Hate Talking: But do you know that if you're using someone's last name?
• 11:44
  I Hate Talking: You would do their last name and then son, and then that translates to mister last name or Mrs last name.
• 11:52
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 11:54
  I Hate Talking: It sort of makes sense.
• 11:55
  I Hate Talking: It actually probably has some.
• 11:57
  I Hate Talking: Positives and things that it does better in Japanese than English, but other things that are not.
• 12:03
  I Hate Talking: And then the other thing I do like super fast about Japanese, when you're learning it is a lot ending this, like, basically, you put that down.
• 12:13
  I Hate Talking: After every sentence, and it's like the period almost like done this or discuss, and then that's a question mark instead.
• 12:22
  I Hate Talking: And I like that visual, because you're a visual person, I guess, right?
• 12:25
  I Hate Talking: Or is that my auditory?
• 12:27
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 12:28
  I Hate Talking: I like how you can hear the actual question mark or period based on whether it's a question or sentence.
• 12:37
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 12:38
  I Hate Talking: That would be more appropriate as a benefit to you as an auditory learner.
• 12:43
  I Hate Talking: Probably doesn't make much difference to me, but I think that is a thing that is true for a lot of Asian languages where that will be sort of the end of the sentence as sort of the whatever you're describing that type of subject.
• 12:58
  I Hate Talking: For us, we do a by inflection, right?
• 13:01
  I Hate Talking: If you're speaking.
• 13:03
  I Hate Talking: And you ask a question.
• 13:05
  I Hate Talking: You know, it's a question cause my voice went up.
• 13:08
  I Hate Talking: But in their language, in Japanese, you know, it's a question because you ask the ka at the end.
• 13:16
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 13:18
  I Hate Talking: That is something I have to pay attention to to see if they use any type of inflection because there certainly are still inflections within.
• 13:25
  I Hate Talking: Japanese speaking, but probably different than English.
• 13:29
  I Hate Talking: Right, because I mean I'm I am enjoying Duolingo, I think it's good.
• 13:33
  I Hate Talking: But they're not native Japanese speakers that are we're listening to.
• 13:39
  I Hate Talking: I think that's gonna impact.
• 13:41
  I Hate Talking: Our learning overall in real life.
• 13:45
  I Hate Talking: Probably true.
• 13:47
  I Hate Talking: So that is something that we are going gangbusters on with the musical instruments and learning languages and then probably you don't even know this, but I'm going gangbusters on a bunch of different, hopefully healthy habits, some of those you are doing at the same time.
• 14:05
  I Hate Talking: So, for example, we are now using Bloom for our personal mobile devices as a Way to try to reduce screen time and distractions from said mobile devices and you may have heard of Bloom, there's other similar things that are out there.
• 14:26
  I Hate Talking: One of the more popular ones is called Brick, but it's basically a physical object that you scan with your phone and then that locks.
• 14:36
  I Hate Talking: Whatever applications you have selected or scheduled so that you can literally not access them.
• 14:44
  I Hate Talking: Mhm.
• 14:44
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, we can still use our phones for phone calls or text messages.
• 14:49
  I Hate Talking: Uh, yeah, you choose what apps.
• 14:52
  I Hate Talking: are distracting, and it helps me cause often I'll sit down and I'll have a moment or two.
• 14:59
  I Hate Talking: A free time, and I pull up my phone, and how many times I've gone to like Instagram or something, and then it won't let me click on it.
• 15:09
  I Hate Talking: And then I do something else that's more productive instead.
• 15:13
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, and I'm still in the early phases of using it, but I do have a mode on there that I call essential and it basically limits my smartphone to that of a 1990s flip phone style phone where I can basically do call and text.
• 15:33
  I Hate Talking: I do have some of the other things that are related to security and things like that, emergency services, yes, all that still turned on, but.
• 15:42
  I Hate Talking: Essentially turns my smartphone into a flip phone.
• 15:46
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 15:47
  I Hate Talking: I mean, it's kind of sad in a way that we need these items, cause we're so addicted to these apps.
• 15:54
  I Hate Talking: But I was trying to tell our kids recently, they didn't like that I was putting a lemon on their video game.
• 16:01
  I Hate Talking: And I understand you want to keep playing.
• 16:04
  I Hate Talking: But like, my job is to protect you and your brain.
• 16:09
  I Hate Talking: And I'm like, I also have to protect my brain, and this is the way I'm having to do it is by bloom.
• 16:17
  I Hate Talking: Precisely.
• 16:19
  I Hate Talking: So another example of another thing that we are going gangbusters on and doing some monumental change and then I think you're doing keto, I'm doing keto.
• 16:30
  I Hate Talking: Started out with basically the egg diet, supplemented with some salt and nuts to get to the ketogenic diet and then trying to adhere to that.
• 16:41
  I Hate Talking: For at least a month of June, there's some camping that we have going on that may preclude that diet for those particular days, but other than that, trying to adhere to the keto diet for the foreseeable future.
• 16:54
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I'm doing keto too.
• 16:57
  I Hate Talking: It's been a couple of years since I've done it, and I'm not doing exactly the same format you are, cause y'all, I don't like eggs.
• 17:07
  I Hate Talking: I like our chickens, I don't like eggs.
• 17:10
  I Hate Talking: So, I didn't go through the egg diet routine, which is easier to get into ketosis.
• 17:18
  I Hate Talking: So it'll take me longer, but I am staying within my macros and no carbs, like no bread, and Rice and all that.
• 17:27
  I Hate Talking: Indeed.
• 17:29
  I Hate Talking: And then I've also set an alarm for daily workouts to wake up early and start doing morning workouts.
• 17:40
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I was confused the first time it happened.
• 17:45
  I Hate Talking: I was like, I thought you just had an early meeting at work.
• 17:48
  I Hate Talking: Usually you tell me if you do.
• 17:50
  I Hate Talking: And I was awake, but I was kind of just laying in bed, slowly waking up.
• 17:55
  I Hate Talking: And you got up.
• 17:57
  I Hate Talking: I thought that was weird.
• 17:58
  I Hate Talking: And normally you go shower, but instead, you went into our gym and I was concerned something was wrong, and so I went and looked and you were working out and I'm so proud of you.
• 18:08
  I Hate Talking: And not because he doesn't work out, y'all, but waking up early and doing that is a sacrifice for you.
• 18:16
  I Hate Talking: Yes, that is true.
• 18:17
  I Hate Talking: I am certainly not a morning person.
• 18:19
  I Hate Talking: And then speaking of showers, followed that workout with cold showers.
• 18:24
  I Hate Talking: Did you?
• 18:25
  I Hate Talking: Oh, that's horrible.
• 18:26
  I Hate Talking: Do you like it?
• 18:28
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I actually still retained some.
• 18:32
  I Hate Talking: Ability to do it -- and -- a cold shower.
• 18:36
  I Hate Talking: With no heated water and actually our shower dial doesn't even really.
• 18:41
  I Hate Talking: Get that precise.
• 18:43
  I Hate Talking: So you have to like be like really careful.
• 18:45
  I Hate Talking: You have to turn it like just a tiny 1/8 of an inch to get just full cold.
• 18:49
  I Hate Talking: But that is something that I have done in the past and apparently still have some ability to do it because it actually wasn't that bad the first time that I did it in the month of June.
• 18:58
  I Hate Talking: Did you ease into it, like your feet first or something, or did you just like full body, head to toe?
• 19:04
  I Hate Talking: Now, I usually do body and then ease into the head.
• 19:10
  I Hate Talking: That is another thing.
• 19:11
  I Hate Talking: And then Haven't done this completely and routinely yet, but trying to take some magnesium and Ashawaga as part of the bedtime routine for the sleep benefits and some of the heavy metal cleansing and other benefits of those particular supplements.
• 19:32
  I Hate Talking: So, lots of things, I guess I'm going gangbusters with my health in the month of June.
• 19:38
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 19:39
  I Hate Talking: I think it's also our personality.
• 19:42
  I Hate Talking: We're like all or nothing type of people.
• 19:44
  I Hate Talking: So, we're like we're gonna change something.
• 19:48
  I Hate Talking: Let's change it all up, makes it all around.
• 19:51
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 19:52
  I Hate Talking: So, and then I guess accordingly, I'm trying to go to bed earlier as well, so that that supports the Early morning routine and then bloom will help with that because basically my phone gets.
• 20:06
  I Hate Talking: Essentially turned off except for, like I said, the critical communication features and emergency services -- at 10 p.m.
• 20:15
  I Hate Talking: -- Yeah, well, that's so weird because anyone who knows me personally knows I don't stay up late.
• 20:21
  I Hate Talking: I just can't do it.
• 20:23
  I Hate Talking: But with this job I have with the community, I've been staying up way later than normal lately because I'm responding to people and doing the work.
• 20:34
  I Hate Talking: And so that's pushed me far out of my comfort zone, like, I just have to do it, so I'm staying up late to get it done.
• 20:42
  I Hate Talking: And several nights now, I've been up later than you, and that's super rare.
• 20:47
  I Hate Talking: Because you're going to bed even, maybe not as early as I normally go to bed.
• 20:53
  I Hate Talking: But normally you're up way later than this, and you're going to bed.
• 20:58
  I Hate Talking: So it's almost this weird sensation.
• 21:00
  I Hate Talking: Most of our marriage, you always stay up later than me.
• 21:05
  I Hate Talking: So, it's a weird dynamic we have now of you going to bed first.
• 21:09
  I Hate Talking: And even on some days waking up before you.
• 21:12
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, you woke up.
• 21:13
  I Hate Talking: That's really switching it around.
• 21:15
  I Hate Talking: It's not bad, but it's different than we've ever had before.
• 21:19
  I Hate Talking: So, that's my list of things.
• 21:21
  I Hate Talking: Anything else that you're doing in your personal life to go gangbusters this month or in the future?
• 21:28
  I Hate Talking: You're doing summer smarts, that's something that's different, I guess.
• 21:31
  I Hate Talking: Oh yeah, that's just a catchy phrase I created, so our kids won't walk at summer school.
• 21:39
  I Hate Talking: So you created that?
• 21:41
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that phrase, do we need to trademark it?
• 21:44
  I Hate Talking: Is it going to become famous now?
• 21:46
  I Hate Talking: I was like, wait, what?
• 21:47
  I Hate Talking: Didn't I?
• 21:48
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 21:49
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I heard it anywhere.
• 21:50
  I Hate Talking: I think I created it myself.
• 21:51
  I Hate Talking: I'm sure somebody -- trademark -- trademarks.
• 21:56
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I took it from anyone.
• 21:58
  I Hate Talking: I just was writing our calendar down and put that down.
• 22:02
  I Hate Talking: So in summer smarts, no one can have electronics or TV.
• 22:07
  I Hate Talking: Or anything like that until they're done.
• 22:10
  I Hate Talking: Some of our kids are working on cursive, at different levels like advanced cursive or immediate or a beginner.
• 22:18
  I Hate Talking: And then our youngest is just printing.
• 22:21
  I Hate Talking: So, they have sheets they have to do for cursive for printing work.
• 22:26
  I Hate Talking: We have safety and we're going through as a family, which is like fire safety, safety around others, you know, just like a general, uh there's a whole bunch of different units, and our musical instruments.
• 22:41
  I Hate Talking: And I'm making everyone journal.
• 22:44
  I Hate Talking: I'm giving them a question, and they have to write or draw a picture based on their age of the question, like, what was your favorite thing about vacation?
• 22:54
  I Hate Talking: And then they have to write about that.
• 22:56
  I Hate Talking: And then we do the rating.
• 22:59
  I Hate Talking: And our library is doing an event right now about different cultures, and if you study for different cultures, they created passports, and you have to fill it out and turn it in for a prize.
• 23:12
  I Hate Talking: And so we've been doing that too.
• 23:13
  I Hate Talking: So, right now we're learning about France and filling all that out.
• 23:18
  I Hate Talking: For our French passport punch.

  I Hate Talking: So, those are our summer smarts, and I know our kids are a little bummed.
• 23:28
  I Hate Talking: They're trying to talk me down, saying that it's summer, but we're in a routine now.
• 23:35
  I Hate Talking: I think they've accepted that this is what we're doing.
• 23:37
  I Hate Talking: And there's no math involved, so I think they're happy.
• 23:42
  I Hate Talking: Well there you go.
• 23:43
  I Hate Talking: So, I guess one final thing that I can think of for the month of June, our church is doing 30 days of prayer and a fast at the end of the month, which is something new that I don't know if we've done in a long time in any of our religious particular.
• 24:02
  I Hate Talking: Interactions, but We are doing a particular prayer topic each day for the month of June, and then that will conclude with a day of fasting followed by.
• 24:15
  I Hate Talking: A party and eating because like good Baptists, they always have food at the particular events.
• 24:22
  I Hate Talking: So we're gonna fast and then we're gonna feast.
• 24:26
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, and I think it'd be the kids' first time attempting that now that they're old enough to be able to do it fast.
• 24:33
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I don't think we've ever had them fast before.
• 24:35
  I Hate Talking: We've been talking to them about it since then.
• 24:37
  I Hate Talking: And prepping them.
• 24:40
  I Hate Talking: Different ages have different uh requirement.
• 24:43
  I Hate Talking: Obviously, they're kids, so we're not gonna say fast fully, that would be healthy for them, but we have different requirements for different kids' ages and their capabilities.
• 24:56
  I Hate Talking: So yeah, I think as we're talking about it and why, why do we fast and what's fast mean and stuff, I think it's gonna be a really good experience for them.
• 25:07
  I Hate Talking: Precisely, so, certainly no fast food on fasting day.
• 25:12
  I Hate Talking: Which is hard.
• 25:14
  I Hate Talking: I feel like in the past when we have passed, that would be a tendency to do, because that way you don't have to cook.
• 25:21
  I Hate Talking: And think about food, just stop and get food somewhere for them, and then you and I fast.
• 25:29
  I Hate Talking: But having it actually be a full family event now, I think it's good, but it's gonna be another level of challenging when they're saying they're hungry or they want something special to eat.
• 25:42
  I Hate Talking: I'm hungry and want something neat too.
• 25:45
  I Hate Talking: Precisely.
• 25:47
  I Hate Talking: So those are some of the things that we are doing this particular month to go gangbusters, so to speak.
• 25:55
  I Hate Talking: So perhaps you've gotten some inspiration and perhaps plan on doing one or many of those things as well, or you would like to hear more about our personal experience with any of these particular topics and if that's the case, you can always leave a comment, send us a text or send us an email.
• 26:16
  I Hate Talking: Mhm.
• 26:17
  I Hate Talking: So, from your friends at I hate Talking, until next time, remember, it is only through talking that we begin the journey to understanding.
