  Speaker 2: you not make it a two hundred. I'm gonna tell
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you not going anything crazy today. I am drinking high
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: quality h two. Oh, because I'm trying to be hydrated
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and healthy, considering that when we got back from Europe,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I had the worst flow I've had probably in the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: last four to five years, lost like fifteen to twenty pounds,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: or at least it feels like it. I mean I feel
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: like it now. I feel great now, but then not
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so much. So Yeah, so where have I been? Where
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: are we going? What's next? Gonna get to that here
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in a minute. So yeah, as I alluded to in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: episode one ninety six, which was let's see this is
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: gonna come out the twenty fifth. Oh boy, it's been
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a minute two months. Yeah, So, as I alluded to,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: uh when I discussed, you know, traveling and then discussing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the uh Warner Brothers sale, which is still going through
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: apparently with Netflix. Actually, when we last discussed, Warner Brothers
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: was going for sale, and now Netflix is about to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: buy him, even though Paramount is trying to facade or
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: stop that, which that's a whole episode itself. I'm gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: do that now. And just so I don't.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Forget that note I just said, I'm gonna write that
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: down for a podcast idea. Let me just excuse me
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: one second Warner Bros. Sale paira mount fight.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I guess trying professional here. So yeah, as I alluded to,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and of the lever being in December was me traveling
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to go visit my wife, have a holiday over there,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and essentially move back to America. We wish I could
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: tell a little b about journey because it was great,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it was fun, had a lovely time, was chaotic in
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: some aspects, not any of our own faultes. That's just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: what happens when you travel multiple countries the world and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So but yeah, that's really that's I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that's really the basis of it. And one of the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'm the first guy to say that New Year's resolutions
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are we should be held a connel to it by
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: molsto the first guys that I think they're stupid because
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: how many how many people have actually gone through with theirs?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: God knows, I've made mine in the last thirty two years.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oliver Oscar really, really I'm trying to do. I'm trying
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to be a professional hair anyway. You know, you guys
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: heard that typical Oliver yelling at the beginning of the podcast.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: So went to go visit her at a wonderful time
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: for Saints. First, what do we do? Where did we go?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So obviously we did Germany, did the Kringle markets, which
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: are always great. Got to have my gluve wine that's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: red hot wine, and a cup where your hand's on
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: fire with how cold it is, you don't care. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: then for Christmas this time, actually I can't remember, it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: might have been og Patron or no, no, it was
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a shag Zillah who obviously he kind of kind of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: got the little bit of the uh awareness or like
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: how it goes when he did october Fest with us
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: in October or actually late September. Technically, it is pretty
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: easy and pretty affordable to travel from country to country
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: because majority of time you can just take a train
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: or you can't take a flight. But it's not like
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Flyinglet's say, like what flying from Chicago from Chicago to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: like Orlando, that's a couple hundred buck. So you could
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: do a flight from Germany to Island for under one hundred.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's stupid, stupid affordable if you just obviously plan and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: do your money right now, always hearing me, limit to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: what you can brain when you're flying a very cheap airline,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of course, but that's just how it went. So for
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the holidays, uh, myself, my lovely wife and our dog Tully,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we flew to Germany and did Christmas in Petty in Paris.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Was fun the first couple of days. And this is
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: one thing my wife and I came to realize. We
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: were so in the excuse me, in the uh oh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say, I mean, I mean, I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I wanna say honeymoon. We were so like focused I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: had like beer gog goes On essentially where Beer gog
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: goes On, We're just focusing in the trips and the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: plans and the foods and all that stuff we were
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: gonna eat. Then we didn't think to go, hmmm, it's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be very cold now. Is it as cold as
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is in Chicago right now? Absolutely not. But when you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: pack lightly and then pretty much the one that has
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the most packed stuff is our dog, it gets cold
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: very quick. To a point where we go, we're going
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to get we want to get to you to travel,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but we will not be going to places that are
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: not essentially I'm not gonna say south the equator, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in the southern region in the wintertime unless it's like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: another family member is like hosting something or something like that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: So Paris was very cold, but it was great. You know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: got to have a wonderful moment with my wife and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: our dog at the Eiffel Tower, got to eat wonderful food.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: We I've been trying the last couple of trips I've
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: been trying to get away from like the tiktoki or
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Instagram ones are like this place is really popular,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: really good. There's this lobster place sandwich place called I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: think it's Homer stupid expensive, way over price. But I'm
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not the first say it's the best lobster I've ever
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: had in my life. Now, I haven't been to Connecticut,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: so I haven't been the Boston in that area to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: have one to say it's the fact. But when I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: can't remember where they were from. We met this older
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: couple at the Homer Place and they've just by talking
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to him well traveled, have traveled all over the world,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and even they said it's way better than the one
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: they've had in the East Coast area and way cheaper.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, wait, it's cheaper. It's cheaper in Paris
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and Connecticut, so excuse me cough, bun chuck. So yeah,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that was enjoy Yeah, it was just nice to have
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a you know, we did a holiday over in Paris
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and then Christmas Day of course we checked out our
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: airbnb and took a train to Sarrus and we did
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we actually did Christmas morning in Paris. We traveled to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Sara's and we did uh, I forgot we went. Oh
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: we went to the uh that's a called Manhattan restaurant.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It's at Disneyland Paris. Yes, we went to disney Land
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Paris for Christmas. Yes, Cliki Clac, I'll hold for your
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: jokes when you come on next week. Yes, Clikitia Clack
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: will be on next week. Foreseeing any changes, jags of
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: love them was gonna come out, but he can't. So yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it was lovely. The one thing that surprised us, or
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: at least me the most, was not how croud it was,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: because of course it's Paris are on the holidays, but uh,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: my wife and I are not. I'm not going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: say like we're we're foodies, but like we're not really
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: like dessert people. We don't go to places like we
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: need to try their crim brouleise, their brownies, their cakes,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: their ice creams. I, as I've said on this podcast
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a thousand times, I am not a cake guy. The
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: only cake I've actually enjoyed, honestly to like, like I've
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: actually sat down tried the cake like I would like
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: our piece of that is my own wedding cake. Obviously,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the emotions were high that day in a good way.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I remember eating that cake going damn, should have gotten
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: a bigger cake. We had cake left, but I was like, damn,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you should have gotten more cake. With that being said,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I can definitely tell you the last since we left France.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Whenever now we go somewhere and we get a dessert.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: As my some friends of mine will tell you, even
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: my own wife will tell you, I am a guy
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that when I go to a restaurant, I try to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: find the best things in any place. Even if I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: don't like something, I will try my damn this to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: give it compliments. Since we've left France, if I don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: like a dessert, I am saying it out right, what
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: do we have there? We had chocolate moose. We I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: can't rememb name of the restaurant. It was just like
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a little I'm not gonna call it home in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: corner was a very nice place. But it's like you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it's it's like like a big city restaurant where it's
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like it's very It's like you're walking down on an alley,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like walking down the side street and there's just like
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a little hole in the wall place. But look at
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: like it goes wow, that place looks beautiful. When in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: there had steaks and stuff like that, and then we
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: got chocolate moose and they're like, okay, let us know when,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and we're like, what do you mean when? And they
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: put olive oil on it, to which my wife and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I look at ech other go what is wrong with you,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to which the waiter just said, just try it. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I think we had moose two or three more times,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and one of the times we went somewhere they didn't
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: have olive oil they've been putting on it, to which
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I said, where's the olive oil? The kremblays were phenomenal
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and like it it's just not like now ever since
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: we came back from Europe, any place we go to like,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: we're very I mean I gotta say, wait, I am
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: now very picky on what dessert we get if we
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: get assert because I don't like if I if I
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: just don't like the sound of it or anything like that,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it. Do we're wrong. I know
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: she as hates when I talk about brands on you
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that don't pay me. I'm the first guy I will
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: do what. I'll give up anything and we'll get a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Colver's custard. That's to me, that is the best ice
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: cream in the world. But now when I'm at a restaurant,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be very picky what dessert I pick. So No,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that was absolutely lovely, and I obviously I'm very happy
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to have them both home. Yes, she is now home.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: She's now home for good. Tully is now home for good.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: The boys are very happy. Oliver, being as needy as
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: usually as you hurt a couple of minutes ago, is
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: even more needy now. Flair is just Flair. Still just
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: wants to eat, still wants to snuggle with you. But
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the second he's done, he's going to push off you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in the most awkward way to where he doesn't realize
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: he's a thirteen and a half pound cat, and he
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: puts all of his pressure on the one joint that hurts,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: just because he does that, and then of course we
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: went to Switzerland for New Year's That was absolutely lovely.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: The reason went to Switzerland for New Years is because
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: she had to leave her apartment had it said date.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And the other reason we had to go to Switzerland
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: was because to fly. Obviously, her work paid for her flight,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of course, because she was returning home. I paid for
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: my own flight because I was there monic chord. But
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to fly home from I'm not gonna say where she
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: lived pretty sure, Oh yeah, I could say she's back now.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: To fly out of Berlin, she doesn't live in Berlin.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: She leans out a city called Leipzig's Berlin, Chicago, Leipsid's Milwaukee.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's about the same distance, honestly, two hours, two and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a half hours to fly out of Berlin every other
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: time I have flown there. I have flown to Berlin
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: now a bunch of times. Thankfully, it was so expensive
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: that it was cheaper for us to take a train
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: with all of her stuff and the stuff I brought,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a course, all of her stuff move essentially move her,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: move a woman out of a country with a dog,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: move them out of a country onto a ten hour
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: commute train. Right because that's how we got this. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: we took two trains, take them from the trains to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a hotel in Switzerland. And the reason I'm emphasizing that
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: is because I didn't know this. Switzerland is like the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: call it the California of Europe. Everything there is stupid
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: expensive for no fucking reason. Part of my French stupid
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: expensive get it was cheaper to do all that and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: fly out of Switzerland then for us just to drive
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the two hours to Berlin and fly home. For some reason,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that weekend or that week rather, Germany was like and
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: all the air not even just Germany, all the airlines
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: were like, we're going to up charge. I think, like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: like what was it was like up like amos almost
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: at least sixty to seventy percent, which I'm like, has
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that even legal? But they don't care. Because I actually
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: was watching some flights and some I was like, okay,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: maybe some flights we'll get cheaper as we get closer. No,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they got more expensive of course because airlines. So yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: that was fun. It was It was an adventure, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we got through it her until you're all good,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And I will have to say, obviously it was super,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: super stupid cold. But we did the New Year's fireworks
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: in Zurich, Switzerland. And I will tell you I am
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: not a I'm not gonna say I'm I'm a I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: not a pyromaniac. I'm not gonna say who in my
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: life is a pirate. He's not a pyromach anymore what
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he used to be. Brother. I love fireworks. I love
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: explosions and like movie stuff like that. I love to
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: appoint some controlled environment with fireworks. My wife she wants
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: completely controlled, which I one hundred percent understand that we
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: were walking through this park essentially to walk up to
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the water to watch the fireworks show that the city
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: was going to put on for some reason. It was
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: what was it? It was midnight, the church bells go
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: off for ten minutes, there'd be a ten minute break,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and then in twenty after the New Year there's when
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: they would do their fireworks show. Didn't fucking matter. From
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: us walking off the tram to get to the park,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: there were fireworks going off everywhere. We're sitting on this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: like little not table, like a little bench. There are
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: fireworks going off all around us. There's sparklers. But I mean,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not just talking like a little like ooh, little firework.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: No more like holy shit, that was too close firework.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Didn't matter where you went, didn't matter where you were
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: coming from, there are fireworks going on off near you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: We were fine, we were safe. We were under a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: pretty big tree, and so I got no worries. But
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: let me tell you, We've been going to Disney for
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a long time. I've been going to other fireworks shows
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: for a long time. Obviously, probably with the chaos of
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: everyone blowing off their fireworks was pretty insane. But I
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: have not seen for at least twenty to twenty five
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: minutes straight of fireworks at a consistency and intensity level
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: like that, and I don't know if I ever will again.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: That was, without question, I mean, I think she said
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the same thing too, the best fireworks show I've ever seen. Now,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: obviously I haven't been to like the Chicago New Year's fireworks.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I've been to the New York fireworks. I've been to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: other firework New Year's stuff, and I'm sure if forever
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: we'll go to them and see if they can compete.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: All I gotta say is good fucking luck, because that
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was such an insane experience in a good way that
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know how a not even just I m
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: up all our fireworks, but just the city fireworks, like
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: just in terms of like where they did it, how
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: consistently for twenty five minutes there were no accidents or issues.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: There was that much gunpowder. And I love the smell
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of burning like gunpowder, like burning fall. I love that smell.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But even I was like, this is a little much,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: so much so, and also that even when we were
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: heading back, the cast of heading back to get back
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to our hotel was insane, thankfully, so we went go
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: we go back to the train stats or the tram station,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and there were so many people they actually closed it
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: off and people were trying to push down the door
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and push down the fence. Thankfully, my wife and I,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: while we did have some champagne, we were not that stupid.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: We just simply walked a couple of blocks. Sure, we
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: had to walk up a pretty seaphill at the college
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: in Zurich, but then we got together tram spot and
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: we really got on that tram just fine. However, the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: worst part about it though, was it was freaking cold
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: as hell. So yeah, it was very cold. I hate
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the cold. I hate it so much, so much of that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: When we finally got back to the States and we
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: dropped totally off of his grandparents, we of course, oh
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: my god, Oscar. By the way, Oscar is Oliver's new dameouendver.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: He's been annoying enough, thank you, and now he's pawning
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: out the door. So and of course we got back,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: as any rational people do, what do you do when
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you come back from a wonderful holiday trip. You know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you gotta unpack, you gotta go to work, you gotta
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: get activated, back to your living environment, your weather, people food. Nope,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: we literally dropped our bags off, went to work for
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: two days, and then we went to Florida for Disney.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Of course, as I mentioned before, my wife did the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Dopey run again, forty eight miles forty eight point so
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: either two or six. I'm pretty sure it's forty eight
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: point two forty eight point two miles in four days.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: She crushed it. She did it. She beat the balloon ladies,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: not that they were catching up to her, but like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: let's just say, you can read up what happened the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: day of the marathon, what they did with the balloon
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: ladies at the lagoon Beach. A lot of people were
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: not happy about it somewhere because they got their metals
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: all having to do a full marathon. She wasn't cut off,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: but let's just say she got a little nervous. She
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: made it. She wouldn't made it even sooner. But of
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: course she's a badass and decided to get off the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: race for a minute to go on a ride, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: got did the ride and then got back to the run,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: which is insane, but yeah, no, And of course she
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: did it for the animals for the World Wildlife Fund.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm saying that right. Yeah, I'm gonna be proud
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of her. That was pretty sweet and so crazy. She
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: says she'll never do it again. She also said that
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the first two times she did the four racist in
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: fourteen's one funny thing, and I gotta I gotta tell
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: this story too. So we usually stay at due to
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the All Star resorts, or will stay at one of
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the hotels the Seven Seas with family. This time we
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: decided to stay at the cabins at the Fort Wilderness.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Not gonna lie. I was a little nervous because a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: little bit of it is like I've never gone there.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I've never stayed there, her family has stayed there, or
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: she's never stayed there, but her family said there way
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: way long ago. A lot has changed. But I'll just
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: simply say this, it was wonderful. If you ever had
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the chance to do it, do it. I had no
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: complaints about the food, the experience, the people, the transportation.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: We had golf cart. I mean, Caitlin rode a horse,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: for Christ's sakes at one point. It was fun. But
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I do got to say this, where we were staying
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: in the cabin, we had to deal with and this
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: is how much fun we had. We had electrical issues,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: went through multiple toasters because the fuse would blow and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: then we would lose a toaster. Not like we were
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: using that much power, just this one corner of the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: cabin in the kitchen. And then we had roaches. We
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: had a roach issue. Yes, I know, very gross for
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: those listening, disgusting gross, all right, I give them. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: gotta give them credit. Giant spot second we reported it.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I think they were I couldn't tell you how many
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: times they're at our place to check on us, how
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: many times they were there to double check. They put
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: traps everywhere. I assumed the tracks got up because after
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: they came and put traps down, we didn't see one.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And we had six people in the cabin. Yeah, we
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: had six, and after the traps came, I think one
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: person said they saw one, but after that they never
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: saw him again. So I assume that trap got them.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: So again people can make fun of peace, like go
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: to Disney. I get it, it's hilarious. It could be funny.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I always say, they're like, hey, don't not untill you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: try it. And part of it is just how wonderful
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of a job they do down there, just being respectful
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and like just nice to people and like, yeah, part
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: of it is in the facade, like you're like, oh,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the most said, you gotta be nice to me. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of it is actually, like they
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: actually do Jalli work working down there, so much so
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: that Kaitlin's sister is now working down there. So really,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I hope you're having fun, good luck and yeah, I
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: just enjoy yourself like you're in Florida. It's what negative
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: ten here in Chicago. Pass. Okay, So enough of my
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: SOB story here. So, uh, just doing a short one,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: just catching up. Just want to go over what's coming up.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I always say I did a couple of these last year.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I think too, if I can remember exactly, We're not
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: doing it anymore, unless there's an extreme emvirgine or someone
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: beyond my control. I'm not taking breaks anymore. I've missed
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: this too much. I've I've missed this too much. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: enjoyed doing this too much, whether it's a half hour podcast,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: whether it's a two and a half hour podcast where
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I split the two, I enjoyed this shit too much,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: and I'm done taking breaks. Part of it was obviously
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: just doing a lot of traveling, also getting my wife
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: back home. Other part of it was I've just been
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: going through I'm not freie to admit it. I've said
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: on this podcast before, I do therapy and stuff like that,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and sometimes using to take a mental break from stuff
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: like that, even from the stuff that you enjoyed doing
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the last year or so, Like I used to I've
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: talked about it before I left for Europe. I used
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to hate working out, and the last year I've worked
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: out more than I ever have in my entire life.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And now whenever I don't work out, I feel I
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: feel weird, I feel empty. It's weird, but and again,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not going there trying to look like Dwayne Johnson.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I just it's a good stress relievor it's a way
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I decompress. It's a way I can just I don't know.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: To me, it's just it's just enjoyful because also, like
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I said, like as my doctor told me years ago
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: or about two years ago, actually you know Russian, very
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Russian doctor goes totally, why are you still live? Like
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: you're trying to push three hundred pounds people? And I go,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that's all I know. And he goes stupid, stupid, like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and I go, you call me. So he goes like, no,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: what you're doing is stupid. I probably could code he stupid.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's how get a doctor who's honest. That's all I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: gonna say. Don't get a doctor goes well, you could
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: not get a doctor who's just like that, doesn't meet
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: around the bush. There's get a doctor who like the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: same doctor for example, who twenty years ago, first time
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: he met my stepfather Pops. He comes in for his
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: physical and he goes, hey, nice to meet you. You're fat,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: like my Pops is a very active man, very like
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: if the guy doesn't go outside for you know when
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: he first gets up in the morning, he's upset, very
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: outdoorsy guy, and he he goes fats. He's not a
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: fat man. I'm just go, oh shit, Okay, that's the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: kind of doctor you want. So anyway, neither here nor there.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so not taking a break anymore. Give me
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: doing weekly podcasts. I might do two. Sometimes I'll be
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: trying to be better about uh putting the not see
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the record. I'm not gonna like when I record it,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: like guys we've mentioned here sometimes like days the twenty fourth,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: it's probably come on the twenty fifth, maybe twenty six.
• 24:17

• 25:14
  Speaker 2: about it when we do the podcast where again, there's
