Episode Transcript
[00:00:17] Speaker A: I'm so pooped. But I'm so happy to see you.
Hello, welcome.
Welcome to the podcast 30.
We're not 30 anymore. Welcome to the podcast where we candidly navigate life's toughest moments and topics.
Today we're very excited. We have a special guest on.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: This is Kelly and this is K. Fleur.
[00:00:46] Speaker A: And our special guest is.
Welcome back. Vince.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: Have you back?
[00:00:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:52] Speaker C: Thank you for having me. I'm so happy to be back.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: So this is actually insane. Vince hasn't been on the pod in over two years. Guys, can you even believe it? Like, what is our lives even? Keith, do you know the exact date? What was it?
[00:01:05] Speaker B: February 7, 2024. But like, Vince, your name comes up very frequently. You're a favorite of all of our listeners. We're so excited to have you back and ready to just like get a quick life update from you. We've got some cool questions and some fun thought experiments, but what's going on? Vince, talk to us.
[00:01:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Hi.
[00:01:24] Speaker C: I can't believe it's been so long since I've been here.
Like, I think about it, I'm like, it was sometime last year. There's no way it's been over two years.
So much has happened during that time. Literally freshly starting my infectious disease training. Pretty much at that point, I was only like six months in. Now I'm done. I'm hired at the hospital where I was training. I'm so glad you've been working since September.
And it's just been crazy. You know those, those first few months after, after graduating and getting. Getting started is just like nerve wracking. I'm like, can I do this by myself? I have no idea.
But I finally kind of settled into that.
So that's kind of the. The current thing is since. Since September when I started working has just really been like getting comfortable with that with my job and kind of practicing medicine alone, which is just.
It's what I've been working for my whole life.
[00:02:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you feel like a real adult now?
That's crazy.
[00:02:28] Speaker C: I do. It is crazy. The stuff that I didn't think about before, I'm like, I could get a nice car now if I want to.
I have to think about buying a house like you two, which is just completely mind boggling to me. I can't even start to think about it yet. But it's definitely on the horizon. Hopefully soon.
[00:02:51] Speaker A: Congrats.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: That's such an exciting time.
[00:02:54] Speaker A: Retirement and like thinking about all the future stuff too. That's so crazy.
[00:02:58] Speaker B: Welcome to adulthood.
[00:02:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I love thinking about all the future stuff. That's my favorite part about it.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: I know, but do you actually, like, once you're, since you're actually working there now, you like your hospital, you like what you're doing? Like, what if you did all this and you're like, it's fine or, or is it just like a job?
[00:03:17] Speaker C: Gosh, that would be, that would be terrible.
You know, the craziest thing about it is like one of my favorite parts is that I get to work with a lot of people that I enjoy working with.
And that's the main, one of the main reasons that I decided to stay at the same hospital that I trained out for the last two years. I'm like, oh, I can either stay here with people that I know that I enjoy, or I could, you know, try and get something that maybe pays a little bit more. But then I'm kind of rolling the dice on who I'm going to be surrounded with at that point.
[00:03:47] Speaker A: Absolutely. So, so true. Well, I'm glad you like it.
[00:03:50] Speaker C: It is still work.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: So it's like, you know, there it is, it's still work, but it is something that I enjoy. It's something that I'm passionate about.
I enjoy the people that I work with and the hospital that I work at. For sure.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: Can you make like your 9 to 5 if you really enjoy or maybe don't really enjoy the people that you work with. So that's great. Yeah, they're nice people.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: Can you give like a little bit of like a day in the life without obviously like violating HIPAA or anything? Just like it's like a common. What's a common thing that you see? Or like, what do you work on a lot or like what?
[00:04:28] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:04:29] Speaker A: What's a good day to day for you?
[00:04:32] Speaker C: Yeah, my, my day is very flexible. So in general, my normal schedule is whatever I want to make it.
So as long as I'm seeing the patients that are, that I'm following, then it doesn't really matter when I'm there or, you know, how long I take, as long as it's just gets done in the day. So my usual strategy, because I'm not a morning person, I am much more of a night owl, is that I will wake up and I will review all of the patient's charts on my computer at home.
So I will sleep in a little bit, you know, 8:30, make my cup of coffee, sit down right here and review all of my charts, you know, for a couple or three hours.
Then I Drive to the hospital, which is a little bit of a commute for me. It takes usually about 45 minutes each way.
[00:05:24] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:05:26] Speaker C: And then I'll go room to room and see all of the patients that I'm either. They're either patients that I've been following along with or.
Or patients that I'm newly being consulted for to get help on a case, you know, help with their treatment.
I specialize in infectious diseases. So in general, the patients that I'm seeing are patients who are coming in with some infection that is kind of beyond the basics of what we learn in general medicine.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:05:54] Speaker C: And so it can range a lot from people who have just like a really serious skin infection.
Very commonly I see, you know, a lot of urinary tract infections.
And then because we have a pretty robust orthopedic surgery service at my hospital, a big part of that is seeing the people who get like the prosthetic joint infections or surgical site infections.
I see a lot of people who have like, who are on like, dialysis, who have like a long term IV for their dialysis, and those will get infected.
We have a major transplant center in town.
So what that means for me is that patients who might have gone, you know, across town to get their kidney transplant or their liver transplant, but they live closer to my hospital, if they spike a fever at home, they come in and see us to try and see, you know, what antibiotics do they need, what sort of tests do they need to figure out what infection they might have picked up because they're taking medication that suppress their immune system.
So it's a huge variety.
It's a university hospital.
So what that means is that we have a lot of the resources and we are in a very unique population where we see a huge variety of different types of diseases because we have a very wide socioeconomic landscape here.
And so we see a lot of diseases of, you know, the wealthier, you know, people as well as the. The infections that occur because of people who don't necessarily have access to routine health care.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: Okay, that makes sense. What's like a disease that a wealthy person gets from, like, so a lot
[00:07:45] Speaker C: of the times it's like the transplants. Yeah, I've seen. So it's like the transplants. It's the people who.
Who, you know, a lot more of the, like, typical things. You know, I'll see a lot of the. Like, they have a skin infection because they have leg swelling, like, long. I'm trying not to use, like, medical terms, but like, people who have like, lymphedema in their legs. There's like, this chronic swelling, and they come and they get recurrent infections in their legs. I see the patients who.
You know, I think the big ones is like, you know, the people who have, like, the prosthetic joint infections, the transplant organ infections, and stuff like that, you know, but it's just, like, more so. It's not so much that there's, like, diseases that I consider to be, like, diseases of the wealthy, but it's more like we see a big variety of, like, you know, your more typical things versus the things that you really only see when somebody's not getting necessarily the access that they need.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: Yeah, that makes sense. Dang.
Very cool.
[00:08:50] Speaker B: Like, busy. Like, you probably have. I don't even know what your caseload looks like, but just, I don't know, a lot of cases to keep up with and notes and stuff like that. I just watched the Pit, so I'm always like, yeah.
Do you think it's.
[00:09:05] Speaker C: Actually, I have not watched it.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
[00:09:10] Speaker C: I can't do medical dramas anymore. Like, I can't pick up new medical dramas. So.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: Confession. I've been watching Grey's anatomy since, like, 2008 or 2009 or something.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: And that's, like, the least medically accurate show, isn't they? Haven't they proven that?
[00:09:27] Speaker C: Horribly inaccurate. It's terrible.
[00:09:30] Speaker B: She stuck her hand at the Good Diver.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Sorry.
[00:09:33] Speaker C: But I've been watching it for so long, I can't stop watching it. But whenever I try to watch something new, it bothers me in some way or another, and I just. I don't get invested.
[00:09:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:43] Speaker C: So I've kind of just accepted I'm not going.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: But Noah Wiley is so cute, and he's, like, so dreamy. Very. Yeah, it's very dreamy.
[00:09:53] Speaker B: What are you watching? Like, what's kind of the. You know, your. Sounds like what you're doing is so incredibly important and amazing, but, like, how do you turn your brain off? What's your. Your brain candy these days?
[00:10:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:05] Speaker C: So mine is hooked up right in front of my computer, but I just got a switch to. Yeah.
Weeks because this.
This recently released game called Pocopia came out.
And it's just a cozy. Like, it's Pokemon, but you're, like, building your island and designing habitats and, like, redoing the landscape and kind of like
[00:10:32] Speaker A: Animal Crossing kind of sitch.
[00:10:35] Speaker C: Very much like Animal Crossing. Like, the. The same vibe, for sure.
[00:10:39] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:10:40] Speaker C: And I loved Animal Crossing. And co. During COVID It was like.
[00:10:43] Speaker A: Yeah, me too.
[00:10:44] Speaker C: It devoured a lot of my time, so I was very excited to try it out. And that was. You know, when it comes to a console, I usually wait until there's something I really want to play before I invest in one.
So that was the one. And I've been. That's how I unwind after work.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: I love.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Are you, like.
[00:11:01] Speaker B: Did you have the original Switch and then, like, upgraded to the Switch too?
[00:11:05] Speaker C: I do. I have a. So I have the original Switch, I have the.
And my PlayStation 4, and then I upgraded to the PlayStation 5 and now the Switch 2.
So I have all four of those sitting in here mostly collecting dust.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: No, I mean, I have all of that as well, but I have. Don't have the Switch 2 yet. And I'm debating. But this. What was the name of the game?
Sounds right up my alley.
[00:11:31] Speaker C: I need to go learn a little
[00:11:33] Speaker A: bit more about it.
[00:11:34] Speaker B: But.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: And it's like, it's exclusive to Switch 2. So I was like, all right, I guess I will have to upgrade now. It's time.
[00:11:41] Speaker A: It's time.
I was gonna say, too, that Vince is coming to us very late, everyone. We're very appreciative because we. Kate and I record every Tuesday at 7pm but he's in Florida, so he got on the. Got on the line with us at 10pm his time. So we're very appreciative of him because he's a trimmer. Yeah. But he is a night owl, so I didn't think it would be that big of an issue. But I did want to double check. We could have changed the time for sure.
[00:12:08] Speaker B: But he.
[00:12:10] Speaker A: He assured me that he was just sitting down for his even.
So, yeah, he is. He's full of.
Full of life. At this time. Keflar and I are, like, falling asleep.
Yeah.
[00:12:22] Speaker C: I could not have made it any earlier if I tried. Like, I was rushing to get here and, like, scarf down my dinner in time.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. I'm so sorry. Well, I didn't want you to be rushed either. Okay. Well, now I feel. Now I feel better. So we weren't like, you know, I
[00:12:37] Speaker B: had to go on TikTok and look at Pecopia or whatever, so that's what I was doing.
[00:12:40] Speaker C: Good, good, good. Let me know what you think. Because the number. The people who are so, like, insanely creative, they build the most beautiful things in that. And I'm like, I can't hope to compete. I'm like, oh, I want to remove the dirt from this section.
I'll put a little, like, four by four cottage. It'll be like a little hut.
But that's our do. I can dream about building a beautiful mansion in there someday.
[00:13:06] Speaker B: Nice. I love.
[00:13:08] Speaker A: So last time.
I was going to say last time we. He was on the pod, he had just come back from Zimbabwe and did like a safari and everything. Do you want to give us a little update on like, your Trav travels Since February of 2024 has been so long, so however much detail you want
[00:13:24] Speaker C: to give, it's been a long. It's been a lot of delta miles during that time.
So I actually, like, before, you know, I had to scroll through all my photos to kind of catch myself up on. On the timeline because it's like keeping track of the order of the places that I went was. Was the hardest thing. But the first place that I went after Zimbabwe was Australia, which is special.
Yeah, it was amazing.
We went to Sydney and Canberra while we were there.
And I am very much like a wildlife person when I travel, so going to get to go and see like all the. I have some pictures on Instagram with the like, wallabies and stuff in.
You can walk right up to them and pet them. And the koala encounter and all of that was just amazing.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: But did you go to the aquarium in Sydney? That one was really cool.
[00:14:25] Speaker C: I didn't go to the aquarium.
[00:14:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, wait, there's like the really cool shark like tunnel, they call it, I think.
And yeah, there's just a ton of really humongous sharks in there.
[00:14:35] Speaker C: I don't think I did. I'm not sure. So the timing was kind of weird because there was like, that. There was like some violent event that occurred right before we got there.
And so there was a lot of like, I don't know, the. The area that we were staying was really close to where it happened. And so there was like, shoot, it was kind of quiet and lots of like, flowers and kind of people standing around like this the site. But you know, the thing with Australia and I. I always think about the fact that you, when you went. Went there because that was when I had to bring you your passport.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: Oh, my God, that's Fry. You are the savior in the Australia story.
[00:15:20] Speaker C: But.
But since then, Covid happened and yeah, Sydney has changed a lot because of COVID It's like, you can't go to a restaurant at night.
Dinner is like at 5 o' clock and once all the table, everyone's seated, they stop cooking. Like, you can't go in after the dinner rush and get dinner. They're like, the kitchen's closed. So when we landed in Sydney at, like, 8 o', clock, we couldn't find food.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Whoa.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: That's bizarre.
[00:15:49] Speaker C: Yeah, huh? Yeah. And I met up with one of my friends who lives there, who I went to college with, and she was like, you know, this is just how it is now is. You know, we eat earlier, and the restaurants, they don't stay open. You know, they don't keep cooking.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: You got, like, a little. Do they. I mean, I'm sure they have, like, a little bodega or something, but, like. Or is everything closed?
[00:16:13] Speaker C: It was hard to find anything. We had to. We had a rental car and we had to drive, like, pretty far from where we were staying to find somewhere that was open.
And it was a matter of, like, stopping at several places and they're like, oh, you can only get drinks now.
And, like, so it was. Yeah, it was crazy. But we sort of adapted to it. It was really hard for us. We're not like, early people in any way. We're like, dinner at 10 o', clock usually.
[00:16:40] Speaker B: Oh, so what do they call that? So gauche. I love it.
[00:16:45] Speaker A: Wait, have you been to Japan? Okay, I'll let you. I'll let you continue your story.
[00:16:49] Speaker C: I have not.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: I'm also liking all of your Instagram pictures as you're telling this story.
[00:16:54] Speaker C: I know my Instagram posts are so far behind. Like, there's gonna be so much stuff
[00:16:58] Speaker A: missing, but I'm gonna do that, too. I'm doing it, too. Hold on, hold on. I.
[00:17:02] Speaker B: Along with your story.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: I love it. Okay.
[00:17:04] Speaker C: After Australia, we went to New Orleans for my birthday in May.
[00:17:08] Speaker A: Fun.
[00:17:09] Speaker C: Which I had never been to New Orleans before, so that was amazing.
I learned that I cannot handle those, like, slushy, icy.
[00:17:17] Speaker A: I know.
[00:17:19] Speaker C: I felt like I was having a heart attack. They gave me chest pain, but it was so cool. And I love. I love me a good beignet. So it was amazing. But.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:31] Speaker C: And then. So this was like our little. Our little.
Our little domestic travel. But we went to New Mexico after that and went to Carlsbad and White Sands national park and Roswell, because I thought that it would be really cool alien stuff, but it was, like, kind of cheesy.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: Oh, dang it.
[00:17:51] Speaker C: Carlsbad was awesome, though.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: Yeah. I was gonna say that's what I've. I actually haven't been. But people have been telling. Like, my parents just went maybe two or three years ago, and they were like. It was the. Like, we thought it was going to be Kind of lame. And it was so cool.
[00:18:03] Speaker C: And I was like, dang, it was so cool. It stinks that poop. But. But it was so cool.
But it is stinky place.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: Fat poo.
[00:18:17] Speaker C: Kind of stinky.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Does look really cool.
[00:18:22] Speaker C: The. The next place we went after that was Quito, so we went to Quito, Ecuador and Galapagos Islands, which was incredible. Probably one of my favorite places that we've ever been because it's just like sandy beaches and warm tropical and.
Yeah, Quito is so cool. I went. It was amazing to me that the elevation is so high.
[00:18:43] Speaker A: I know. It's so bizarre. Also, it's so crazy that you can only get there by airplane and so many people, like, go there every year. Whatever. But I got so sick in the Amazon that I was, like, peeing out of my butt at the keto airport on the way home. So, yeah, like, we went like, swimming with those, like, pink dolphins or whatever in the Amazon, you know, the day before.
And we had to fly from Quito back to Lima and then Lima all the way to lax, and LAX all the way back to San Francisco. Oh, my God. That was the longest day of my life. I like. And I was in. And I feel like that was the worst travel day I've ever had. Like, peeing out of my butt. It was so horrendous.
[00:19:22] Speaker C: I can't keep my composure right now.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: I'm sorry.
Just being honest.
[00:19:32] Speaker B: I love it.
These pictures look amazing. I don't know how to comment on that.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: Oh, wait.
I'm sorry.
Wait, you went to Quito, Ecuador? I'm sorry. I was in Quito, Peru.
Different.
[00:19:46] Speaker C: We're talking about different places.
Yes, I went to Quito, Ecuador because we were going to the Galapagos, but
[00:19:54] Speaker A: you can go to the Galapagos, which
[00:19:55] Speaker C: are technically part of Ecuador.
[00:19:57] Speaker A: Peru as well. You can go there from Peru as well. I was looking at flights from there.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: Like, relative.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: They're pretty close together. They're semi close. Yeah.
[00:20:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. They're neighbors.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: They're neighbors.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: Photo that you have on Instagram and it's like a glass stain window in the church.
So beautiful.
[00:20:15] Speaker A: Wait, he hasn't got there yet. K. Fler.
I don't see that.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: Oh, is that later? Is that. Is that later in my life or is that in Quito?
[00:20:22] Speaker B: No, I thought it was in Quito. You have.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: We went to some really amazing stuff in Quito for sure.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: The doggos in cute dogs.
[00:20:30] Speaker C: All these countries have really cute dogs.
[00:20:33] Speaker A: Oh, okay. I see it.
[00:20:34] Speaker B: They're just like walking around that is
[00:20:36] Speaker C: a really cool church. I definitely had to like challenge my fear of heights a little bit in Quito.
Some of these churches that you can like go up on the roof of them and it is precarious and made me very nervous. But we did it. It was great.
We took. They have the, the teleferico, the like shuttle cable car thing up to the top of the mountain.
It's. It's something absurd like 10,000ft or something up there. It's like you take 10 steps and you're out of breath.
[00:21:08] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:21:09] Speaker C: Like, but really beautiful. And it's like 360 views from up there.
[00:21:16] Speaker A: The Galapagos is the whole reason we
[00:21:18] Speaker C: went there was to go to Galapagos. Yeah, it was incredible. It was everything that I wanted it to be, really. We got to go to the like Galapagos tortoise sanctuary.
And you get to just walk around all these like manzanita bushes surrounded by giant tortoises.
[00:21:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:36] Speaker C: You go to the beach and all the sea lions want to come up to you. Like the little baby sea lions, they just like come right up to you and they want your attention and you.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: But you can't touch them, right? Yeah.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: It's so hard.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:46] Speaker C: You're not allowed to touch them, but it's like you fight. You have to fight your instincts because they're so cute.
[00:21:55] Speaker A: That's amazing. I know. I just saw this like influencer girl that went there and. Yeah. Because she's like obsessed with dogs and shows. She was like, they're just like water dogs and I just need to squeeze all the dogs. And like there was like park rangers everywhere apparently. And yeah, they were like just like yelling at everyone. Just like watching everyone really intensely and. But yeah, she said it was incredible. I'm so jealous. That's definitely like my. One of my top.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: Really cool.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Wait, did you get to go swimming with it?
[00:22:21] Speaker C: For sure.
So, yeah. So we went on this like they call them a 360 tour. They put you on a boat, they take you all the way around the island. I got so seasick I wanted to die. But we pit stop. We got to see like the blue footed boobies. And they take us in this. They take us to this like rock formation and you can swim around in there.
So I was swimming with.
There was hammerhead sharks and manta rays in there.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:22:51] Speaker C: And then they take us to this lagoon that has. There's like sea turtles and nurse sharks that are all just like sleeping on the bottom. Still made me nervous. But they just sleep there and the, you know, the sea lions come around too. And again, it's like the sea turtles, they're just drifting slowly and you just want to touch them so bad. Yeah, but you can't touch anything, but. And then they fished up a tuna and they sliced up some sashimi for us on the back of the boat. And that was.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: Oh my God, y'. All straight out of the water.
[00:23:27] Speaker C: Just right out of the water.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: Wow,
[00:23:31] Speaker A: that's incredible. That's really cool.
Okay. And then you went backwards and you posted Zimbabwe because you never posted those photos. Sorry for the list.
[00:23:39] Speaker C: Yeah. Because I realized that there was stuff I missed.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Vince is going to get a bunch of followers now. She's able to see everything. Awesome. Yeah.
[00:23:47] Speaker C: Oh, great.
But after that we went to Taiwan, so flew into Taipei and went south from type. So Taipei is like the northern tip of Taiwan. And then we traveled all the way south along the west coast to Kaohsiung because the east coast is all mountains.
So we just went south down the west coast, city to city.
The. You know all of those videos that you see on, on social media of like the convenience stores in Japan, it was very much. The convenience stores were very much like that in Taiwan. Like you could find everything, make a full meal, like all night long.
[00:24:28] Speaker A: That's so cool.
Actually, my co worker, since I have to sit in an office every day now, one of my office mates, she's flying to Vietnam tomorrow, but she. They have their layovers in Taipei and they have like a seven hour layover. So she's excited. She's gonna go do some stuff. So that's very cool.
[00:24:47] Speaker C: I want to go to Vietnam so bad.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: You haven't been. Vietnam's a good one.
[00:24:51] Speaker C: No, it was. It was actually supposed to be my first international trip with my partner, but it ended up like it wouldn't work with my work schedule. There was no way we could make it because we wanted to do like Vietnam and Laos and something.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: Cambodia.
Cambodia, yeah.
[00:25:11] Speaker C: And.
And. But we couldn't make it work. So we ended up going to India instead for two weeks back then.
But Taiwan, it was a lot of like historical, like buildings and streets. We went down this like walking street that was just all shops and restaurants on both sides. Those are super old. And it has like all lantern lit and it was really beautiful.
We went to the like giant Buddha statue at a monastery and we got there and there it was like closed and we had to leave and come back the next day. And it was like a 40 minute drive and.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: Oh, geez Louise.
[00:25:59] Speaker C: But it was good. It was good times. We made it work.
And then the big one was after I gr. So I finished my program, my fellowship training in June. And so July 2nd, we went to Eastern Europe for seven weeks.
Yeah. So, I mean, we initially flew into Paris, but then we basically went from Paris to.
To Vienna, Austria, and just kind of dragged up and down Europe to the east for seven weeks. We went to, I think 15 different countries.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: Oh, I remember you telling me about this because. Yeah. You hadn't been back since we were in high school. Right. When you got to go with the.
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: What's her name? I forget.
[00:26:48] Speaker C: It starts with a d.
Oh, with Mrs. Dobson.
[00:26:51] Speaker A: Dobson. Yeah.
[00:26:52] Speaker C: So funny story. She was actually in Paris the same way that I was in Paris.
And we just were not able to make the. The timing work out that we were able to meet up. We were trying to meet up, but we couldn't make it work. But she was literally there with like the. All the students. She was doing the, like, high school trip again.
[00:27:10] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:27:11] Speaker C: At the same time that we were there.
[00:27:13] Speaker B: That's really sweet.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: Very cool.
[00:27:16] Speaker B: This is definitely like top of my bucket list to just do exactly this for seven weeks.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Wait, was it different? What was the difference between high school and going like, as an adult or like, because. Have you been speaking French still?
[00:27:30] Speaker C: So that's the thing is like the big. The big challenge for me is that I'm. My French is much rustier than it was last. Last time that I went, you know, it was like when I went with the high school class. I wasn't actually in high school. I was like a junior in college and I'd been. So I went as a chaperone, but. And then I studied abroad senior year in France. But since then it's like very. I've had very few opportunities to speak French. Like to act like, actually speak French to people.
[00:28:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:03] Speaker C: So it was. That was a challenge because it's just like the. It's not as smooth. I have to stop and think about what I'm trying to say a lot. And then I kind of get lost because I speak. I have a lot of Spanish speaking patients. So my Spanish has been getting better over the years, but my French has been getting worse.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Did you know Kevlar's learning French?
[00:28:22] Speaker B: French.
[00:28:24] Speaker C: I've been hearing that you're using duolingo.
[00:28:27] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. I need to get like an actual tutor. So if you want to, like, start a French tutor club with me, I'm definitely down, but it's like, I don't feel like I'm learning French. I feel like I'm learning how to game the system.
[00:28:40] Speaker C: So I'm like, I am very much not a fan of Duolingo. I actually did like a 52 day streak on Portuguese and I don't think I can speak any Portuguese.
Like, I was on like, level.
I'm not even gonna guess. I don't remember how the levels were set up, but I had a pretty solid streak and I was competing with a friend. So we were both trying to like cram in as much in a day as we could.
And even then it was like, I don't know. I can tell you that the Portuguese word for Apple, like, it's very, very minimal what I can remember. And that was less than a year ago.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: Dang. Yeah.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: Like, if I were to just like bust out a French sentence, I wouldn't know what I was saying. But like, I know how to read it and work it in the app, so. And I've heard a lot about French in particular. Like Babel is better or there's like this can be app or something that people are using.
[00:29:41] Speaker C: So one app that I've been enjoying and it will really depend on, like your learning style when it comes to language is Pimsleur.
But Pimsleur is like lectures, so it's like a 30 minute lesson in the language. I've been doing. Well, I haven't been. I've kind of fallen off the wagon a little bit, but I was doing Pimsleur Japanese for a while because I can't settle on a language to learn, so.
But I was doing Pimsleur Japanese for a while. I really like their format. It's just, you know, motivating myself to listen to that during my commute instead of listening to a podcast or listening to music or something. Sometimes my brain is just not in the right place to be like that focused and trying to like absorb and learn during that time.
[00:30:31] Speaker B: 100%. I get very fatigued on that. Like, I. I think I'm at 2:02 for my streak. I don't know. My dad and I are trying to like go for the whole365, but there are days where I'm just like, oh my God, all I need to do is like 15 seconds and extend my streak and then I'm done. Like, I can't make space in my brain.
[00:30:51] Speaker C: Right. And then it's like, what are you taking away from that?
[00:30:53] Speaker B: Exactly. So consistency. Anyway, I'll probably, I'll probably either get a tutor or a different app sometime soon. But hopefully one day I'll be like, semi able to not sound like a total jackass ordering like caff coffee in croissant.
[00:31:09] Speaker C: Yeah. My. My biggest. The biggest thing I think for learning French and feeling comfortable with it is like, don't skip on the accent.
Like, like, try to have the accent as early as possible because you want that to be the last thing you're thinking about when you're trying to speak French.
And then they have no idea what you're saying because your accent is terrible.
[00:31:31] Speaker B: Okay. A tutor. Definitely a tutor.
[00:31:34] Speaker C: And I think it sense makes it. You feel more confident about it when you can, like, you know, do the French Rs and like, feel better about, you know, even just like sight reading a word if you don't. Don't know what it means.
[00:31:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:46] Speaker C: But. Yeah.
[00:31:47] Speaker A: Sorry. I'm just looking at your pictures.
[00:31:49] Speaker C: It's like one of my favorite things.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: I love it.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: That's amazing. Yeah. What's. Okay, so you were.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: You went Vienna.
[00:31:58] Speaker C: Vienna. We went to Slovakia, Slovenia. I went to Lake Bled, which was like the big thing that's been all over social media recently.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Really?
[00:32:08] Speaker C: What's that island church in the middle?
[00:32:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
[00:32:15] Speaker C: We went to which. And it was beautiful. Like, we went to. The city is called Ljubljana and it is just like this really pretty cobblestone everywhere. Built on a river. Just like really lovely city.
[00:32:30] Speaker B: I'm looking at a lot of your Budapest pictures.
[00:32:32] Speaker C: Budapest was my favorite city of that whole trip. I loved it. Budapest and Prague. Budapest and Prague were like, both like right at the top for different reasons.
Budapest is just really stunning. It's like lights everywhere and the way that the city is like built on the slopes of this, on the sides of the river, you just like get a really good view no matter where you are. Are.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:32:58] Speaker C: Prague was like the party we were there for the weekend of Prague pride.
And it was insane.
[00:33:06] Speaker A: That's so fun.
[00:33:07] Speaker C: I'll leave it at that.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Sounds amazing.
Yeah. This picture of like Budapest at night. So cute. Yeah, it's Brat Slava.
[00:33:19] Speaker C: Maybe Bratislava was amazing, but all those, like those first cities we went to were really amazing. You know, the further east that you get, it gets a little bit more like former Soviet, like, you know, still there. A lot of them are kind of like more recently getting nicer, but you can kind of see what's left. So like, we went to.
For instance, I have a map of Europe on my other monitor right now, because I can't remember very well. I'M not judging you, but we went to Sarajevo in Bosnia.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: Cool.
[00:33:56] Speaker C: It was nice. But every building is covered in bullet holes because they're all, you know, they're all stone buildings and you can just see them just like riddled in bullet holes on the walls. Yeah, but it's not like that anymore. But you can just kind of see that history still.
[00:34:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Whoa. That's wild.
Dang.
So you did like more.
[00:34:17] Speaker B: What's next?
[00:34:18] Speaker A: Yeah, you did more.
[00:34:20] Speaker B: That's the next big trip.
[00:34:21] Speaker A: You're.
[00:34:21] Speaker B: I mean, obviously Vietnam, hopefully Oregon, so you can come see us.
[00:34:27] Speaker C: I want to make that happen so bad.
[00:34:28] Speaker B: The POW wants you here events. It's calling you all of our cool rainy days.
[00:34:34] Speaker C: I need to get better about making those, like, little trips, you know, to just like, you know, take a four day weekend or something. And it, the, the getting over to the west coast just for like a short trip is really hard. The timing is really difficult because the flights and the time changes and stuff. But I want to figure out like a good strategy so that I can do it more regularly.
[00:34:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Have you been back to see your mom or your sisters or anything? In a bit.
[00:34:59] Speaker C: The last time.
That I went back was actually last year. I think it was after we went to. Yes, yes, I did. So it was after Quito. We went back.
My partner had not been to Yosemite, so we went to Yosemite while we were there, you know, just like walked around the valley and stuff. And then we went to Sequoia.
And Sequoia is like. There's like two parks there, right?
[00:35:35] Speaker A: And Kings Canyon and Kings.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: Yeah, we went to Sequoia and Kings.
[00:35:40] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:35:40] Speaker C: And so that was really fun. I got to see. My sisters went with.
So my. Yeah, my sisters went with us for those.
The.
And then it was supposed to be like the. This is like the drama, right? But it's okay. My mom doesn't listen.
It was supposed to be for my mom's wedding.
There, there. It wasn't like a breakup or anything. She just didn't actually plan anything.
So everybody took time off and I booked flights and we flew out there for it. And like a week before she said so we tried to get a venue, but it was already booked.
And I'm like, when did you try to get it? And it was like two weeks in advance.
[00:36:26] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:36:27] Speaker C: So.
So they decided to just have dinner. So we. We flew to California to have dinner. So we made it also a trip to go to Kings Canyon or to Kings and Sequoia.
So.
[00:36:42] Speaker A: Gotcha.
[00:36:43] Speaker C: It Was still fun. And we got to go see some big trees and look outdoorsy.
[00:36:48] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: Very cool to see somebody at least once in his life. So can knock that off the market list.
[00:36:55] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:36:56] Speaker B: He's, like, all the way to, like, like, Ecuador.
[00:36:58] Speaker A: And he's from Florida, right?
[00:37:01] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. He was born in the city that I live in and has lived here most of his life.
[00:37:10] Speaker A: Okay. But at least he gets out. At least he's cultured and travels.
[00:37:14] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. He gets all over the place. And, you know, I only get a limited amount of vacation time, but he, you know, works for himself, so he has a lot more flexibility. So he goes on lots of trips without me.
[00:37:27] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:37:27] Speaker C: And I just get to be jealous of them.
[00:37:29] Speaker B: Yeah, vicariously.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:37:32] Speaker C: So all these trips that I go on, he's going to, like, three or four times as many places than me.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: Dude, you guys have, like, my bucket list. Instagram board. So many cool vacations.
So cool.
[00:37:43] Speaker A: I went to Italy last year and I'm like, oh, man, I'm. I'm doing great. My first international trip in, like, a few years. I feel like. I mean, I'd love to do more, but.
[00:37:51] Speaker C: That's.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: Right.
[00:37:52] Speaker C: So that was the whole thing. Because I talked to you about Italy.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
I do remember you.
[00:37:57] Speaker C: Because I listened to the Italy episode when I was in Europe and I was talking to you and I was literally in the hotel gym.
[00:38:04] Speaker A: Yep.
Yes, I do remember that. Yeah. Because, like, the time change and stuff.
[00:38:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:10] Speaker A: But Italy was incredible also. I'm so surprised you haven't been to Italy.
[00:38:13] Speaker B: Caught up with you.
[00:38:15] Speaker A: No, he was also texting me.
[00:38:16] Speaker C: I have been to Italy.
[00:38:18] Speaker A: Oh, wait, when did you go to Italy?
[00:38:21] Speaker C: When I studied abroad. So when I was living in France, I went to Italy. I went to Spain and the uk.
[00:38:28] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:38:29] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:38:29] Speaker C: That time.
[00:38:30] Speaker A: That makes sense. Yeah. So you gotta do it.
[00:38:33] Speaker B: We've all been there.
[00:38:34] Speaker A: Oh, it is a good one.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: For sure.
[00:38:38] Speaker A: A little bit.
[00:38:39] Speaker B: No problem.
[00:38:39] Speaker A: I feel like Italy or just like that part of Europe is just really expensive. In general, though, like, it's not like.
[00:38:46] Speaker C: That's so true.
[00:38:47] Speaker A: A place we would go, like, in our early 20s. Like, you know, you kind of gotta splurge a little bit to. I don't know. Or maybe it's just like the way I think about.
[00:38:56] Speaker B: People do, like, Western Europe in their 20s and they just like, hostel and backpack it all the way.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: Okay, true. I'm not into that. No, thank you. No, thank you.
[00:39:08] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:39:10] Speaker A: I mean, I did have to sleep in dorm rooms for the Altavia one And that was great because it was like a very specific situation. But, like, I would have loved a
[00:39:21] Speaker B: private room, very wonderful hostel in the 13th rondissement in Paris. And that was.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. I mean, some hostels also have private rooms, so it's fine. And they're a little bit cheaper than like a hotel or something.
[00:39:36] Speaker C: Yeah. I remember going and doing like the Airbnb with all the other study abroad kids and we all like, let's get an Airbnb in Paris. We only need one bed for five people.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: Totally.
[00:39:49] Speaker C: That's how it was back then. We're like, there's a couch. There's plenty of space, you know, I know.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: The couches in Europe are like so teeny tiny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:39:57] Speaker A: I remember one time we went to New York City and like, I had a bunch of friends flying for New Year's Eve and we all got one hotel room in like Times Square in New York.
And yeah, it was a king size bed, but we were like, yeah, we'll definitely fit five people in the bed. It was like, no one.
[00:40:11] Speaker C: I can't even afford a hotel room in New York now.
[00:40:14] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I haven't been in so long. It's been a minute.
[00:40:17] Speaker B: But all the places I could be for New Year's Eve, like down, like Times Square would be on the bottom, bottom, bottom of my list.
I couldn't get out of that fast enough.
[00:40:26] Speaker C: No. The cold, the crowds.
[00:40:28] Speaker A: Yeah, no, no, no. Actually I didn't go for New Year's. Sorry. I think I was there for St. Patrick stay or something.
[00:40:37] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:40:38] Speaker A: I don't. I was definitely in New York for Thanksgiving Day and I was there for the parade and everything. We did that whole situation. We saw Justin Bieber. He played the Today show that morning. I mean, we didn't actually see him. I saw, like him on a screen in front of me kind of situation, but. Oh, my God. Also, can we talk about Justin Bieber, like, making a comeback? Like, oh, I just love him. Did you guys watch his, like, is
[00:40:58] Speaker B: he officially making a comeback, though? Have we, have we decided that that's.
[00:41:03] Speaker A: I mean, what's the definition of a comeback? He's like, looking and seemingly normal.
[00:41:08] Speaker B: Is he, like, booking?
[00:41:10] Speaker A: What do you mean? He came out with an album last fall. He has had a new album for a long. Like, he's been producing music this whole time. It's just no one's been paying attention to it. Okay. I'm just saying that Justin Bieber needs more credit, that's all.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:26] Speaker A: I still love him.
[00:41:26] Speaker B: We're not giving him enough credit.
[00:41:28] Speaker A: Fair enough.
He did go through a rough patch, not gonna lie. But he's doing a lot better at this point. He's.
[00:41:36] Speaker B: Everybody's entitled to a rough patch. I feel like that's what I'm walking away 20, 25, because that was a really rough year. So I don't want to give people a hard time for having a bit of a moment, especially if he was a little baby boo.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: Speaking of. Okay, let's do.
Let's do a life dilemma. Can we do this one?
This one's kind of good. I mean, it's kind of one you've probably already heard, but I'm curious what your guys answer would be. So would you.
[00:42:03] Speaker B: Or.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: Sorry. You and a group of people are stranded in a lifeboat with limited resources. There's enough food and water for only half of the group. Do you sacrifice the weaker members to ensure the survival of the stronger ones?
What's your plan?
[00:42:16] Speaker B: It says it's like a very not casual question.
[00:42:21] Speaker A: I'm just curious.
Don't you have these, like, donner pass questions all the time?
[00:42:28] Speaker B: Reveal to the world how much a psychopath I am.
[00:42:30] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Let's get into it. I mean, I'm interested in what you're gonna say now.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: I don't know. I feel like I would not sacrifice people. I'm not that cold hearted, really.
[00:42:41] Speaker A: I mean. Yeah. How do you have the conversation, like, how do you kill someone? Yeah. Like just hit them in the back of the head or something. And then everyone thinks you're a murderer. You kind of gotta wait for them
[00:42:49] Speaker B: to die on an island. How do you just.
[00:42:51] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:42:51] Speaker B: How do you kill? Do you have to just like, pin them down and. Okay, fixate them or.
[00:42:56] Speaker A: I don't think we're supposed to be asking these questions.
[00:42:58] Speaker B: I'm like, worried about the logistics. I don't think I would be able to do it.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: True. I don't think I sacrifice genuinely. Oh, you would.
I mean, well, that's not a psycho response.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: Who's to say I'm not the weakest league? Like, maybe I should just follow the sword and be a martyr and then.
[00:43:16] Speaker A: Okay, if there's a sword involved, I feel like there's a lot of. A lot of options here.
[00:43:20] Speaker C: Then it was set up for failure.
[00:43:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Literally.
[00:43:24] Speaker C: I think I would sacrifice people because it's like, obviously somebody's gonna. You got. You have to pick people and nobody's gonna want to sacrifice themselves.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:35] Speaker C: My thought is that.
And I don't know if this is like, dodging the question. But I would say that we just ration until people start dying.
[00:43:47] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I would do too, probably, because then the weaker people would just automatically die.
[00:43:54] Speaker C: Yeah, but then let nature decide.
[00:43:58] Speaker A: I know.
[00:43:59] Speaker C: Would you eat?
You just get what's left of their.
[00:44:04] Speaker A: Yeah, what's left of their body, which is even worse.
[00:44:07] Speaker C: No, I was talking about what's left of their food.
[00:44:12] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's what I meant too. Totally.
[00:44:14] Speaker B: You were Kelly's headwind. Okay.
[00:44:20] Speaker C: And Kelly is a cannibal. And it's not going to butt with either of you.
[00:44:25] Speaker B: Question.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Okay, fine. Oh, this is a good one. Okay, what about would you accept $10 million if it meant a stranger, someone in the world lost everything they owned?
That's kind of what every billionaire does to the rest of humanity anyways.
[00:44:43] Speaker B: Half a million dollars is just like, not enough to sell somebody out like that so hard, really. But I mean, a million dollars is a lot of money.
[00:44:54] Speaker C: I was gonna say, I think it's easy to sit here and say no, but, like, if, like, really faced with that choice, it would be really hard. Like, it'd be really hard to say no to that
[00:45:10] Speaker A: because what if they're, like, a bad person? Then it gets into all these additional questions. Like, yeah, it would be sad if they were a nobody, but if they were like a bad person or like one of these tech billionaires or some that we have nowadays, I'd be like, hell, yeah.
[00:45:23] Speaker C: But yeah, If I'm taking $10 billion from somebody who has $10 billion, and I'm like, yeah, sure, yeah. But then it's like, then you have to, like, kind of live with that knowledge too. And $10 billion really is, like, way more than I'm ever gonna do anything with. Right. So it's like, then I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life trying to give that money to, like, make up for ruining somebody's life, you know?
[00:45:48] Speaker B: Yeah, but like, what if that person only had, like, $5 to their name? So, like, getting rid of everything really isn't that much.
[00:45:57] Speaker C: Maybe it was the $5 to pay for their inhaler.
[00:45:59] Speaker B: Like, oh, no, I don't know.
[00:46:03] Speaker A: You know, you're such a doctor. You're such a good person. Cabler and I are like, him, it's fine.
[00:46:10] Speaker C: But that's what I'm saying. It's like, it. I can say no for all these reasons, but I feel like if I was really faced with that choice, I would. I think it would. I would be more likely to Say yes. If it was like, if that was like a real choice, you know, that was put in front of me.
[00:46:25] Speaker A: I know it's hard to know if
[00:46:26] Speaker C: I'm being completely honest.
[00:46:28] Speaker B: With $10 billion, I could retire and just travel.
[00:46:32] Speaker A: Million, not, not billion. Billion would be like, obviously, like, no doubt about it. Million is like, we all know exactly where.
[00:46:39] Speaker B: Are definitely taking billions of dollars.
[00:46:42] Speaker A: Hello? Yeah, for sure.
[00:46:43] Speaker B: Sorry, random stranger.
[00:46:45] Speaker A: But okay, one more before. I feel like our epic is getting a little long. But okay. If you could read everyone's thoughts but couldn't turn it off, would you want the ability?
[00:46:57] Speaker B: Absolutely not.
[00:46:58] Speaker C: No, not a chance.
[00:47:00] Speaker A: Okay. Do you guys ever sit in like, or like in a store or like in. I don't know, I do it in my office sometimes. Or I'm like, oh my God, can they tell what I'm thinking? Do they know what I'm thinking? Because they like, look at you a certain way or like they like make eye contact with you randomly when you're like thinking about something terrible or gross or something and you're just like, oh my God, I don't know what I'm thinking. Do you guys ever think that? I totally think that sometimes. Or is it never?
[00:47:22] Speaker C: Insecurity. I have the opposite insecurity where I'm like, what are they thinking about me? Yeah, I get that one.
[00:47:30] Speaker B: I don't think that they.
It's like there's something about. There's something about it. It's like the eight second rule or something. I have to find it on tick tock or whatever. But if you wait eight seconds while you're thinking like, oh my God, everybody is judging me in this very moment. And I'll think through. No one cares two shits about.
[00:47:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:49] Speaker B: When I've got stuck in my teeth or what I'm wearing that day. They're not going to remember me or like what I smell like or me saying something stupid or wrong. But I have to like, do that exercise constantly because I'm so, like, concerned about how other people are perceiving me, which is just a lot of information about my insecurities.
[00:48:09] Speaker C: And that's why I don't want to hear what they're thinking.
[00:48:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:11] Speaker C: Because I would listen.
[00:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
Candidly. Yeah, like that. I'm not doing that.
So I like that.
[00:48:20] Speaker A: Question.
[00:48:20] Speaker B: Question.
[00:48:21] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. So crazy. But should we do some gratitudes and GRs. Why don't we just do a gratitude and.
[00:48:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:28] Speaker A: And wrap this puppy up and then I'm going to hit the hay. I'm going to take a shower, and
[00:48:32] Speaker B: then I'm going to go to sleepy,
[00:48:33] Speaker A: and Vin is going to stay up for three more hours and be very
[00:48:36] Speaker B: impressive playing Po Poa.

[00:48:44] Speaker B: Okay. I'm going to. Yeah. Look into it. I want to be grateful for.
And you guys, like, I was just having a really slow, gray, rainy, cold freaking day where nothing was getting done at work, and then I get to see your beautiful faces and catch up with Vince and, yeah, just get a little bit of that filling my cup kind of energy. So I appreciate it.
[00:49:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm very grateful for Vince as well, for, like I said, for always being available and always being ready and wanting to come on the pod and also just being such a fun, faithful, trusted listener. Like, I always get texts from him being like, what? Or like, what is happening? And so I just, like, know exactly what he's referencing. I'm like, oh, yeah, the. The pod just came out this morning or whatever. So very, very much appreciate you and thank you for being on this crazy ride with us because. Holy. I can't believe we're here. Season four, and we're still doing it, and you still want to hang out with us, so it's the best.

Two weeks is just way too long.
Genuinely. It is. It's this whole, like, since you started the podcast, and, you know, I have been chronically plagued with being bad at keeping up with people and, you know, kind of falling into, like, school and training, and I'm just, you know, it's busy and I lose track of. So having that kind of, like, weekly reminder. Like, I can listen to the updates. I can reach out, just say, hey, it's.
I'm so grateful for that because, you know, there's a lot of people in my life that I want to spend some time kind of, like, reconnecting with. But the podcast has really facilitated that with both of you.
[00:50:36] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:50:38] Speaker C: And, you know, I have to also give a quick shout out to my sister Sandra, who is getting ready to have her first baby.
