1:03
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, these things happen when you're away sometimes.
1:07
SPEAKER_01: And it seems like the tree is like it's a really huge hickory, and I think more than half of it either got struck by lightning or just got too heavy and fell.

3:01
SPEAKER_00: Reservoir, I guess.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: But I get here's the news.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: Here's the only news that's worth telling is um one of our listeners tracked me down somehow.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: And was it your daughter?
3:19
SPEAKER_00: No, just one of our listeners and sent a one of them in here.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and sent a text.
3:25
SPEAKER_00: Um obviously this person's uh, you know, avid and and passionate listener.
3:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fan.
3:33
SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't know, I guess.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: Well if they're avid and passionate, they must be a fan.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't know.
3:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, here's the here's the in here's the so this person is feedback.
3:48
SPEAKER_00: This person is giving feedback in in on on titles.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: And so and they said, I like eight-minute odyssey.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: That was yours, right?
4:03
SPEAKER_01: Well, I said Odyssey because I just saw the Odyssey and I thought that sometimes art talks are kind of a little bit of an Odyssey.
4:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, you and they go on You said odd, you said eight-minute Odyssey, and and this person said I like eight-minute odyssey because the eight minutes seems to last 20.
4:21
SPEAKER_00: With like laughy faces.
4:23
SPEAKER_00: And so a fan, I'm not, I don't know.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't maybe maybe this person has to, you know, like listen.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: Maybe they're maybe they've been kidnapped and they're in tortured in a basement and then their and their punishment is to listen every day for 20 minutes.
4:45
SPEAKER_00: For 20 minutes, yes.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: Maybe they take the eight minutes and they and they draw it out, they slow it down to 20 minutes.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: I know, and that and that's why it's so much torture for them.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: Instead of playing it 1.5 faster, they play it, you know, two.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: Well, it would be two.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: It would be 0.4, 0.2.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: We gotta figure out the maths on that.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: So 0.5 would make it be eight, eight, and eight, sixteen minutes.
5:17
SPEAKER_01: So if it's gonna be twenty minutes, it's gonna be like 0.4, 0.3, point,.35, something like that.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that could be the case because sometimes it does.
5:26
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I was talking one time and I thought, how can we still be talking because we've been talking so long?
5:32
SPEAKER_01: And then so sometimes listeners feel that way, and that's the beauty of it.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: We get so much information in eight minutes, it's mind-blowing, really, how much we can talk about.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: It feels like 20 minutes of information in eight minutes.
5:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, maybe that's what I think.
5:45
SPEAKER_00: And maybe that should be the title.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's what they were saying.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: Maybe they were just saying it it's eight minutes, but it seems like twenty minutes because it's crammed love, entertainment, and and information and dad gold.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's what if we called it 20 minutes, uh, 20-minute podcast, eight-minute podcast that feels like 20 minutes.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: What if we called it that?
6:12
SPEAKER_00: You see, I see I you don't use you don't like those long you just said yesterday.
6:16
SPEAKER_01: I know, I know, I know.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: But I do like things that are a little abstract, and I do, and I guess that's not abstract though.
6:22
SPEAKER_01: I guess that's pretty straightforward.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: It's on the nose, kind of.
6:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: Well, we we we one thing's for sure, we can't talk about the title every day because at some point we got to get to the good stuff, like inspiration, the life acts, dad vice, stuff like that.
