  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 95 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:32
  I Hate Talking: Hi everyone.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: So we'll jump right into our word or phrase of the episode, and that was a word that I think we discussed maybe in episode 92, which was technically our last episode, or in episode 94, which was technically 2 weeks ago.
• 0:49
  I Hate Talking: That's not confusing at all.
• 0:52
  I Hate Talking: Well, that is our continuity er.
• 0:54
  I Hate Talking: So today's word or phrase.
• 0:58
  I Hate Talking: Is sesquialian, OK, sesquialian.
• 1:02
  I Hate Talking: Yes, so basically the definition of sesquipodalian is characterized by long words or long winded.
• 1:14
  I Hate Talking: It can also describe a word that is polysyllabic, polysyllabic, multiple syllables.
• 1:22
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah, it's appropriate that such a long word.
• 1:26
  I Hate Talking: Because it means long winded.
• 1:28
  I Hate Talking: I like it.
• 1:29
  I Hate Talking: Yes, -- so is -- that ironic?
• 1:31
  I Hate Talking: Like, was it intentional?
• 1:32
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps a bit so in the Latin, it came from.
• 1:37
  I Hate Talking: Sesqua, which means 1.5.
• 1:42
  I Hate Talking: And head or pest, which means foot.
• 1:47
  I Hate Talking: So.
• 1:48
  I Hate Talking: Then that became combined as sesquipolius, which means 1.5 ft long, literally, and then that became in the mid-17th century English as sesquialian, which is basically a word that is 1.5 ft long.
• 2:07
  I Hate Talking: OK, cool.
• 2:08
  I Hate Talking: So perhaps our podcast is a bit sesquipodillion or perhaps some of the words that we define and talk about are sesquipodillion and quite literally, the word that we are talking about right now is literally the word sesquipoalian.
• 2:26
  I Hate Talking: I like it though, and it's a fun word to say, says Quilion.
• 2:31
  I Hate Talking: How often is it used nowadays though?
• 2:35
  I Hate Talking: So, from the 17th century, it was quite popular and then around the Maybe 1870s, 18.
• 2:48
  I Hate Talking: Eighties, it slowly declined and now it is no longer very popular, though there was a slight uptick probably around 2018.
• 2:57
  I Hate Talking: That's weird.
• 2:59
  I Hate Talking: I wonder if someone on social media or music or something like that used it.
• 3:04
  I Hate Talking: They did, I believe in the Song That tool wrote, they use that word.
• 3:15
  I Hate Talking: So I do.
• 3:17
  I Hate Talking: Let's check and see when that song came out.
• 3:20
  I Hate Talking: But So I guess I'm wrong.
• 3:24
  I Hate Talking: It was not in a tool lyric or any of Maynard's bands, A Perfect Circle or Pacifier.
• 3:32
  I Hate Talking: It apparently is used to describe their lyrics, however, because a lot of the lyrics of Tool or Perfect Circle or pacifier are sesquipodalian in nature.
• 3:43
  I Hate Talking: Oh, OK, but who describes them?
• 3:46
  I Hate Talking: They describe themselves that way.
• 3:48
  I Hate Talking: No, the fans describe the songs that way.
• 3:51
  I Hate Talking: Oh, so the fans, I still wonder how the fans know that word.
• 3:54
  I Hate Talking: Well, Tool fans are very refined people.
• 3:58
  I Hate Talking: Says a tool fan.
• 4:01
  I Hate Talking: See, I thought it was in a song.
• 4:04
  I Hate Talking: I gotta check because I'm pretty sure it was.
• 4:08
  I Hate Talking: There's some other weird word that they use that is maybe similar in nature.
• 4:12
  I Hate Talking: No, uh, the word I was thinking was somniferous.
• 4:17
  I Hate Talking: Which is a sesquialian word that is used in the song Rosetta Stone, which is probably not.
• 4:25
  I Hate Talking: Get appropriate.
• 4:29
  I Hate Talking: So if you do decide to listen to that song, be forewarned.
• 4:33
  I Hate Talking: -- Is -- the word inappropriate or the, the other lyrics.
• 4:36
  I Hate Talking: So what does that word mean?
• 4:38
  I Hate Talking: Well, we'll find out next time.
• 4:39
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 4:40
  I Hate Talking: Alright, I can't wait.
• 4:41
  I Hate Talking: So that is our word, sescopodalian, and it is a fun one to say and it even has a fun meaning, I think, because it sort of defines itself.
• 4:51
  I Hate Talking: I like it because it sounds like something you could tell somebody if they continue to talk for a longer than appropriate time.
• 5:02
  I Hate Talking: But it's not rude.
• 5:04
  I Hate Talking: Like it wouldn't be rude.
• 5:05
  I Hate Talking: It's just like, well, that was a very Sasquat battalion story.
• 5:08
  I Hate Talking: Thank you.
• 5:08
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 5:10
  I Hate Talking: Or if they use big words to sound smart on purpose, perhaps you could say.
• 5:16
  I Hate Talking: You are sesquipedalian, and they'll probably take that as a compliment, even though perhaps it's a bit of an underhanded remark.
• 5:26
  I Hate Talking: -- It's -- kind of funny, yeah, as an insult.
• 5:28
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, let's not do that because that doesn't sound nice, but it is a funny idea.
• 5:32
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps so.
• 5:34
  I Hate Talking: I don't know if I would be offended if somebody described our podcast as Cesco Palian.
• 5:38
  I Hate Talking: I think I'd be impressed for podcasts.
• 5:41
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, -- it probably is a compliment -- that they would know that word.
• 5:44
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it's cool.
• 5:45
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 5:46
  I Hate Talking: So I believe we have our final review of things that we have done in the past year or so, and this will complete our unknown number of episodes, miniseries on reviews of things that we have done in the past year.
• 6:02
  I Hate Talking: So, we're going to be talking about a unique and individual farm and like I said, it is unique and one of a kind, and there probably are many different farms across the nation that are similar in nature because it is an active farm with a pumpkin patch and flower garden and Different grains and vegetables that they produce, but it is almost set up as a field trip style thing that you can go to, and they have rides and activities and playground equipment and a variety of things that you can do while you are at this farm.
• 6:43
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, oh, we love it.
• 6:45
  I Hate Talking: We have had for about 2 years in a row had memberships there and went often.
• 6:50
  I Hate Talking: Uh, it is not somewhere to go if you're worried about safety, cause it is safe there, but also like, you're riding around, you're climbing farm equipment, and everything is very rustic and just used materials, like you're climbing up tires that they built into a big tower and that sort of thing.
• 7:14
  I Hate Talking: So if your number one concern is, um, Safety ratings or whatnot, like you want it all plastic and covered.
• 7:23
  I Hate Talking: This is not the place for those kind of people.
• 7:26
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 7:27
  I Hate Talking: So there is, like you said, many different rustic things you can basically go on a tractor ride that pulls barrels, barrels that they have cut open, repurposed with different wheels, and that the wheels are like legitimate like.
• 7:42
  I Hate Talking: Things that are used for wagons and stuff, but yes, it is a cutout barrel that you sit in and the tractor drives it around and pulls you behind it.
• 7:51
  I Hate Talking: There's other things that you can climb on, so the tires, there's some very large wooden swings.
• 7:58
  I Hate Talking: There's one that is like an entire wooden beam or plastic tube, I guess.
• 8:02
  I Hate Talking: It's like a drainage tube that is connected that's probably 20 ft long and has ropes on either end and it functions as sort of a very large swing.
• 8:11
  I Hate Talking: Lengthwise, so it goes end to end -- in -- that So lots of kids get on it and then you go back and forth, yeah, and there are some things that are older in nature where maybe it doesn't function as well, so they have like some.
• 8:26
  I Hate Talking: Metal pigs that you can ride on that you're supposed to like move the handle back and forth to propel it, but it really doesn't work.
• 8:33
  I Hate Talking: You have to like push it.
• 8:34
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, the parents behind it giving it a boost.
• 8:37
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 8:38
  I Hate Talking: And then they have slides that are made out of like plastic, huge sheets of plastic tile that you can slide down with a with like a burlap sack, burlap sack, yeah, you get climb inside the burlap sap or sit on top of it and it's about 2.5 ft or 2.5 floors, right.
• 8:58
  I Hate Talking: I don't think it's quite 3 floors.
• 9:01
  I Hate Talking: It's probably maybe 3 floors.
• 9:02
  I Hate Talking: No, not 3 floors.
• 9:03
  I Hate Talking: I would, I would call it 2, so probably around 20 to 24 ft.
• 9:07
  I Hate Talking: You climb, yeah, multiple staircases.
• 9:10
  I Hate Talking: There's several different sizes, but the very top is multiple staircases, you carry your burlap sack with you, and you have to, you use it, because if you don't, in the summer, you get burned.
• 9:23
  I Hate Talking: That is so hot.
• 9:25
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 9:26
  I Hate Talking: And then the slide tower also has additional drainage tubes, so like the 3 ft.
• 9:33
  I Hate Talking: Plastic drainage tube, they are set up as slides and you can slide down that on the burlap sack as well.
• 9:39
  I Hate Talking: They have a massive corn maze and sell pumpkins, and that's their big money maker.
• 9:45
  I Hate Talking: But yeah, they're all year round.
• 9:47
  I Hate Talking: They also do the same thing with like sunflowers and you can pick them or tulips and you pick them.
• 9:52
  I Hate Talking: Um, our kids' favorite thing is in the summertime because they have blow up.
• 9:58
  I Hate Talking: Water slides.
• 10:00
  I Hate Talking: And they have like a splash station where there's the water that comes from the ground.
• 10:07
  I Hate Talking: They just had the best time.
• 10:09
  I Hate Talking: They bring their swimsuits, go on the splash pad, they go down the water slides, and then they'll run off and do all the farm activities and then come back when they're hot again.
• 10:19
  I Hate Talking: It is one of their favorite ways to spend summer.
• 10:22
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, and there's, I guess like a big bounce platform as well.
• 10:29
  I Hate Talking: That -- is not something to do in the summer because that gets -- extremely hot.
• 10:33
  I Hate Talking: Oh yes, you get burned on that too.
• 10:36
  I Hate Talking: It's like a big rubber inflatable thing, I guess.
• 10:40
  I Hate Talking: Well yeah, it's just basically a huge bounce house with no walls or roof.
• 10:44
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, when you have to be careful because you can also fall off the edge.
• 10:48
  I Hate Talking: They do have plenty of warning and color-coded, but if you're not paying attention, you're just gonna fall off that thing.
• 10:56
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, and then next to that they have like a barn that has a Sort of funhouse tube that rotates so the kids can go inside and rotate the tube, which is probably like 8 ft tall and it's like a hamster wheel, yes, and ride in that.
• 11:14
  I Hate Talking: And then they have the like shadow things that where you can push the pins.
• 11:21
  I Hate Talking: Oh yeah, that was new this year.
• 11:23
  I Hate Talking: That thing was so cool.
• 11:24
  I Hate Talking: Yes, so basically you can reset all the pins and then press your body or face or hands and arms in different formations and then that will appear on the other side.
• 11:35
  I Hate Talking: So it's like those things where You find in the clearance bin that you can buy that are just hand size, but this is a full body experience for that particular shadow pin board type thing.
• 11:47
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that was really fun.
• 11:49
  I Hate Talking: And then they have a bubble station with like huge bubble maker things that use the ropes that form the bubbles that are many feet long.
• 12:00
  I Hate Talking: They also have like a tricycle.
• 12:03
  I Hate Talking: Racecourse, all different size tricycles for adults and for little kids.
• 12:08
  I Hate Talking: And they have ramps you can go up and down and of course you can race and that ends up being one of our kids' favorite always.
• 12:16
  I Hate Talking: They love that tricycle course.
• 12:18
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 12:19
  I Hate Talking: And then one of the things that we did that does cost extra money in our last trip here was the mining.
• 12:27
  I Hate Talking: So you can buy the Pre-packaged bag of dirt and gems and then use their slush box with the panning trays to search for gems and other rocks.
• 12:42
  I Hate Talking: I think even some fossils were available and everything like that.
• 12:46
  I Hate Talking: So we do not do that every time because it is a bit expensive, but we did that our last visit and all the kids seem to enjoy it quite immensely.
• 12:54
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I was super surprised.
• 12:55
  I Hate Talking: So I bought our season passes last year.
• 12:59
  I Hate Talking: On like a Black Friday sale, and it came with like a coupon book, right?
• 13:05
  I Hate Talking: Like a free sunflower, a free pumpkin, and one was a free small mining bag, and we hadn't used it.
• 13:14
  I Hate Talking: I obviously go with the kids a lot more often cause you're at work.
• 13:18
  I Hate Talking: And occasionally you come.
• 13:20
  I Hate Talking: For a while or take the day off or whatnot.
• 13:24
  I Hate Talking: So one of the last times we went, you came with us and I was like, oh, we have this mining thing, the kids have been wanting to do it, but I haven't done it yet.
• 13:32
  I Hate Talking: And true to your fashion and your generosity, you bought each kid their own, because I would have made them all share that free bag.
• 13:41
  I Hate Talking: But you were very generous and let each one have their own, and I was shocked at how into it they were.
• 13:48
  I Hate Talking: I thought it was pretty hokey and didn't have high expectations, but the kids loved the gems so that they mined.
• 13:58
  I Hate Talking: And they have researched them.
• 14:02
  I Hate Talking: They got shadow boxes to hang up their favorite ones, and we still have them, and they are really into rock collecting now.
• 14:12
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 14:13
  I Hate Talking: So I think that is the majority of the activities.
• 14:18
  I Hate Talking: There's also like a food court style thing where you can get food and drink and things like that.
• 14:24
  I Hate Talking: And they have a petting zoo.
• 14:25
  I Hate Talking: Yes, we haven't even gotten to the animals.
• 14:27
  I Hate Talking: That was just all the eclectic collection of different activities which reflecting on it, it really is a lot of different stuff that is very eclectic, but it's very enjoyable.
• 14:38
  I Hate Talking: They also have a hay bale.
• 14:40
  I Hate Talking: Pulled by a tractor, and you go through all their fields of their actual lick farm, and it's like this audio recording that plays, and it has all these very hokey, very dad type jokes along the way that one of our kids in particular laughs every time.
• 15:01
  I Hate Talking: It does not matter how often they've heard those jokes, it's hilarious to them.
• 15:05
  I Hate Talking: And it's often when we are tired.
• 15:08
  I Hate Talking: And hungry, we sit on it and have our lunch and take like a 20 minute tour of the of their farm.
• 15:16
  I Hate Talking: And get to hear their jokes and then we get back off and play again.
• 15:20
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so that's all kind of the unique, very individual type.
• 15:27
  I Hate Talking: For them and then there goes to the typical animal stuff, right?
• 15:33
  I Hate Talking: So they have vending machines where you can buy animal food to feed the goats.
• 15:39
  I Hate Talking: I think there's a lot of goats.
• 15:41
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot of goats.
• 15:42
  I Hate Talking: So, but they also have and pigs.
• 15:45
  I Hate Talking: Yes, there's llamas, sheep.
• 15:47
  I Hate Talking: My favorite thing is the bird aviary thing where you can buy a popsicle stick that has.
• 15:54
  I Hate Talking: Bird food attached to it and then you go in the aviary and then the birds.
• 15:59
  I Hate Talking: Which I guess are typically like songbirds or whatever will come land on the popsicle stick and eat the food.
• 16:06
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, and then they also have a butterfly one.
• 16:09
  I Hate Talking: They have a pony ride you can do that just the ponies walk around in a circle.
• 16:14
  I Hate Talking: We have Bunnies and tortoises you can feed lettuce too.
• 16:20
  I Hate Talking: And then they're working on opening a reptile house, I believe.
• 16:23
  I Hate Talking: Was that still closed when we were there or was that open?
• 16:26
  I Hate Talking: It, it has been open.
• 16:27
  I Hate Talking: We've gone a little bit, um, yeah, they have a sloth and they have, yeah, your basic reptiles like for a small reptile exhibit that's fun to look at for a couple minutes.
• 16:38
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, So A very eclectic collection of different things.
• 16:46
  I Hate Talking: I guess I've not really reflected on how eclectic it is, but it is very eclectic.
• 16:50
  I Hate Talking: -- So would you go there again or -- oh yeah, well, we go often and um we bring people with us all the time and it's one of those things that it definitely, I know the friends that would want to go versus wouldn't like our brother came, my brother came with his family.
• 17:11
  I Hate Talking: And I was like, you gotta do this, it's so much fun.
• 17:15
  I Hate Talking: And they had, I think, a really great time.
• 17:18
  I Hate Talking: Um, and, you know, there's other people that I wouldn't necessarily bring, cause it is all dirt, like you are.
• 17:27
  I Hate Talking: Even if you're not doing a lot of this stuff, you're dirty afterwards, cause it's all dirt and rocks and walking around in a farm, and so it's not like a leisurely stroll.
• 17:40
  I Hate Talking: It's very bumpy and, but like if you're risk averse, it's not a place for you might enjoy, but if you like the really old school farm hand.
• 17:53
  I Hate Talking: What they did, I picture in, you know, the 18, 1900s.
• 17:59
  I Hate Talking: Farm life.
• 18:01
  I Hate Talking: I think it's really fun.
• 18:02
  I Hate Talking: And so yes, I would go again.
• 18:04
  I Hate Talking: I have gone many times and brought many people with me.
• 18:07
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 18:08
  I Hate Talking: I would guess, yeah, I would go again.
• 18:10
  I Hate Talking: And I'm trying to remember if any of our kids have ever been seriously injured or even injured at all here.
• 18:17
  I Hate Talking: No, um, maybe like a little bit of rug burn from the heat of the slides or something like that.
• 18:25
  I Hate Talking: I think one of them did fly off the bounce platform at one point, but they landed and we're fine, right?
• 18:31
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so no major injuries, maybe just kind of like, uh, ow, that hurt kind of thing.
• 18:36
  I Hate Talking: But you can get that from any park or any.
• 18:39
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe the quote unquote risky equipment.
• 18:47
  I Hate Talking: Actually makes them more self-aware and careful and then therefore they don't get hurt because I'm thinking back to times that our kids have broken bones or gotten cut on different things that these were in very safe, quote unquote places with like a very Structured water park or water play area or just a.
• 19:13
  I Hate Talking: Parking lot with a drainage gate that those places are quote unquote, safe, and that's actually where they've had their worst injuries.
• 19:23
  I Hate Talking: Right, yeah, I think there probably is a false sense of security in the little like bubble worlds.
• 19:30
  I Hate Talking: It's well-meaning, right?
• 19:32
  I Hate Talking: Like we want to protect, especially the children, but ourselves too, but we want to protect our kids and give them the best.
• 19:38
  I Hate Talking: So we like kind of bubble wrap them and protect them.
• 19:41
  I Hate Talking: But then they don't learn self-awareness, they don't learn uh where their body is in relation to Other things.
• 19:51
  I Hate Talking: So, or you just take it for granted, like, oh, this is, we had a kid today fall down our steps, he's OK.
• 19:58
  I Hate Talking: But his hand is, you know, hurt.
• 20:01
  I Hate Talking: It's bruised, but I don't think it's broken or anything.
• 20:03
  I Hate Talking: He can move it fine.
• 20:04
  I Hate Talking: But he did get a bruise, and he, he was like, you know, but like, you don't think about it, right?
• 20:10
  I Hate Talking: Those are things like the steps are safe.
• 20:12
  I Hate Talking: You do them all the time, and then he tripped on a step and fell.
• 20:16
  I Hate Talking: So I think when you're put in those positions where you have to be aware, because there is a gap in the walkway, or you have to climb over something to get there, you have to be aware versus just kind of autopilot, assuming it's the safe, same thing as always.
• 20:35
  I Hate Talking: Yes, that's true.
• 20:37
  I Hate Talking: So.
• 20:37
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps the dangerous, risky farm is a good place to visit, where you can be able to leave the bubble wrapped world and enjoy some things in the dirt.
• 20:51
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think it's a really good time.
• 20:53
  I Hate Talking: All right, so, like we said, this is most likely, I think our final episode in our little miniseries on things that we've done in the past year or so.
• 21:05
  I Hate Talking: And if you are curious on anything else that we've done, do let us know in a comment or email or text message, and we will talk about words and other topics in the future.
• 21:20
  I Hate Talking: That's good, and we will try not to be.
• 21:22
  I Hate Talking: Susquepedalianpedalian or we will try to be that.
• 21:29
  I Hate Talking: Has anyone ever tried to be though?
• 21:33
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think so.
• 21:35
  I Hate Talking: You want to be long-winded.
• 21:37
  I Hate Talking: If you're like filibustering.
• 21:40
  I Hate Talking: But we're not filibustering people, we appreciate them and value their time.
• 21:45
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 21:47
  I Hate Talking: From your friends at I hate talking and until next time, remember, it is only through talking that we begin the journey to understanding.
