T-Shirts

You know that feeling when summer makes the world seem a little louder, a little weirder, and somehow more fun? That’s the energy we’re bringing today as we start with real-life catch-up, kid commentary that cracks us up, and a “would you rather” that escalates into donuts, stitches, and the kind of questions only children ask with confidence.

From there, we go global in the best way. We talk World Cup watching and the moment that deserves the attention it’s getting: Japanese fans cleaning up the stadium because leaving a space better than you found it is the point. Then we keep the international streak alive with a taste test of tinto de verano, the classic Spanish summer drink made with red wine, citrus soda, and lots of ice. If you’ve been hunting for an easy summer cocktail, a lighter sangria alternative, or a new patio drink, this one might be your new staple.

And because our brains never stay in one lane, we hit the wild headlines too: Denmark’s mullet competition, the Gen Z phrase “low vibe relationships” and what it actually means, plus a truly ridiculous real-world coincidence involving paying at the same store with the same “wand” card holder. We also debate what’s worth paying for, from expensive firefly camping to the beach “plop vacation” trend that some people swear resets the nervous system and we swear does the opposite.

We wrap with our t-shirt deep dive, from what we wear to bed to the nostalgic shirts we can’t throw away, plus a quick look at t-shirt history and how it went from undershirt to cultural icon. Listen, laugh, and then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review if you’re enjoying the show.

Welcome And Summer Catch-Up

SPEAKER_00 0:07

Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora. And Nora. Good to see you. Good to see you. And welcome to those who are just tuning in for the first time and those who come back week after week. Yes, and those who come back week after week. Sorry, it was a bit of a fake out. I thought I was already going to be on vacation this week. Remember last week I was like, I won't be here next week. Surprise. Put the card in front of the horse. I think here I am next week. Or yeah, next week for reels, there will not be an episode. Okay. So catch up. Yeah. On the catch up to day list. I'd like to tell our listeners and you too, because I didn't see you yesterday afternoon. What a nice walk I had with Rose Taylor. Oh, she had a lovely walk with you. She's a chatterbox. Oh, that's great. Set it and forget it, as you say sometimes. She played a great game with me. She's like, oh, I have a really good would you rather? Oh. Is it landline or iPhone? I was like, lay it on. Yeah. Donuts or plastic surgery. And I knew donuts was stitches. Oh, okay. I forgot about that. From I said, hold the show. What do you know about plastic surgery? Right. She's like, well, we were watching the Michael movie and his hair caught. Did you know his hair caught on fire? It's like, no, I didn't see the movie. But I chose in my head I would rather have plastic surgery than just than just get stitches? Yeah. Yeah. Try to look better because of it. If you're gonna have stitches from plastic surgery, I'd rather have them for that than like getting stabbed or something. But I said I'd rather have stitched donuts, yeah. Yeah. Because then it would have opened up a hole. She'd be like, oh, pray too. What are you looking to get done? Yeah. She's the best. I had just had a nice little walk with her and I didn't see her. I said, make sure you tell your mom you're home. And I heard her yell, Mom, I'm home. And that summer voice that all kids have right now. Yeah. Only one volume. Oh my goodness.

World Cup Joy And Cleaning Culture

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Speaking of summer, have you, because you are a soccer household, are you guys in on the World Cup? Have you been keeping up with it? We are, and we are having a hoot watching it. It is fun. Yeah. Yeah, we're all in. Have you seen the amazing thing with the Japanese fans? No. So this in this isn't just for the World Cup. This is something that Japanese people, like as part of their culture, it's very important to them to clean up, to find to leave a space better than when you found it. So when they leave a stadium, they clean up after themselves. As they should, as you should, right? Yes. Instead of being like, oh, there's like when we go to the movies, I make sure we clean up. I'm like, don't think you're popcorn here. There's a garbage can 20 feet away. So they've been attracting a lot of attention because they've been cleaning up after themselves. And it's been catching on because I other people are noticing. Oh, they're oh, should we also be cleaning up? Yeah, they're yes, lead by example. Yeah. So I I mean, besides the soccer and that Team USA is doing well, I was they like this is what is nice about these multinational events. Yeah. Where you can kind of borrow from other cultures and see what that would be nice if it

Tinto De Verano Patio Drink Test

SPEAKER_00 3:31

sticks. Speaking of other cultures, I'm gonna take a page out of the Spanish book. Yeah. Spain for hundreds of years has had this summer drink. Okay. And it's kind of a trend on TikTok, but it's not really a trend because it's been around for so long. Sangria? It's similar. It's Tinto de Veramo. Oh. It's the drink of the summer. Oh 50% red wine or half red wine, half a citrus soda. Mix and drink. So it's kind of like sparkling sangria. Kinda, yeah. And it's just designed for you to sit outside as a daily drinker. Oh. Yeah. So we're gonna try it. Oh, hooray! This is exciting. I feel like I won something. Seriously. She is. See, it's a beautiful color. Give her a little mixing mix. Burgundy. Oh, now we're in ASMR. What's that? Like the the those podcasts that are like crinkling paper. I thought it was the ARP. Oh. I was like, because we're drinking early. So what I did was I filled the whole glass wine glass with ice. Then I poured half and half red wine and fresca because it said a citrus beverage. I didn't want to waste any calories. So cheers. Cheers. Or I or shall we say tinto de veramo? Tito, yeah, see. Ooh. It's much better than I expected. Wow. It kind of tastes like a grape juice.

unknown 5:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

I mean, I know why. It kind of tastes like a Welsh. Yeah, like a Welch's grape juice. Like the sparkling, like when you like for New Year's Eve when you get your kids. The kid champagne? The kid champagne. Or just like Walsh's grape juice. Yes. I enjoy the bubbles. It's definitely sweet. You have to have a couple more sips, but it's nice. I see why this could be a patio drinker. I like it better than sangria. I like it better than red wines. Yeah. Like, I like red wine with dinner. It's funny, I think, because it's cold red wine, too. It is so good. That's throwing me off, too. I'm like, wait, is it red wine? I forgot that it was red wine. It's really good. I'm a huge fan. Thank you. This is a delightful treat.

Denmark’s Mullet Competition Explained

SPEAKER_00 5:47

And keeping things international, did you hear about the big mullet contest in Denmark? Oh no. No. No. This is hilarious. So it says Danes show off their manes. Danes and manes. Like kudos to the New York Post writer who came up with that title. And they're Denmark's national mullet competition. A lot of these guys have mullets with mustaches to match. And what makes for an award-winning mullet? I'm so glad you asked. This is the fourth year that they've been doing it. Um, so the this young man who's 37 years old, he had a hair transplant. So and celebrated his newly found locks by growing a mullet. Wow, that transplant works. Yeah. Well done him. And he wanted to compete in the U.S. mullet competition, but he wasn't a U.S. citizen. So he had a he went back home and started his own. Oh, so they have one in the United States. Yes. Yeah. So some people dye their mullets, and you had 60 seconds to perform on show on stage showcasing your haircut. And then I guess the bet it's one out of five. And people were saying, I like the finesse, the twist, the nostalgia. I like it if it looks ridiculous or ugly in a beautiful way. And it is, it is a pretty ugly hairstyle. I do not care for the hairstyle. It's hard to be like, I've never been like, that's a fine-looking moment. Or I've never been like, wow, that gentleman is really good looking. It must be his hair.

unknown 7:23

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

Must be like, oh, wait, he's too serious. And then he turns around and you're like, oh, take it back. He's so much fun. Oh.

Low Vibe Relationships Defined

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Oh. Speaking of the other gender, have you heard of these new relationships? Low vibe vibrational relationships? That's what the Gen Zers are calling. Would you mind saying that again? Low vibrational relationships. Oh, low vibrational relationships. Low vibe. Low vibe. So someone you can just like hang out with? I thought it was somebody like we're gonna low vibe. Like it's a chill night, almost like kids like toddlers parallel play. They don't interact, but they hang out to each other. I don't know. Pizza in a movie. Like a low vibe relationship. But no, it's actually a relationship that feels draining instead of energizing. Oh, so this is a negative thing. It's not a good thing. Oh. Yeah. That doesn't sound negative. It's generally a decline of your own well-being or a result of unresolved tension in the relationship. I feel like then it should be a no-vibe or like a bad vibe relationship. Low vibe, I feel like is underselling it. I know. Huh. So I had never heard of that. But they made it sound like it was being used. I just want to make sure I wasn't missing something. No. So then what would I guess if you have it would be a high vibe? Give me a slam dunk. Oh Lord. I got to ask. I haven't seen I haven't remembered to ask my kids, but I'm gonna ask them if they know that one. We forgot to talk about something very important.

The Wand Payment Coincidence

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Oh so last week. I think I know. Last week, my dad gifted us the wands. And I have this as my first catch-up and skipped right over it. And so I also didn't realize he also gave one to my sister and to my sister-in-law. The man went wand crazy. So you and I had our wands. I showed my kids and they were mortified. They're like, you cannot use that. I was like, oh, watch me. I showed my kids and they laughed. They were like, of course. Like I brought them to Culver's before Kevin's baseball practice. And I like took it out of my purse and they all scattered. Except for Rose. Oh, they were you were inside. Yeah, we were inside. And they were like, zoom, went away. And then we went to Home Goods. Yes. So then we're waiting in line at Home Goods, da da da da as one does. And I get to the checkout and she scans all my stuff. And then I pull out my wand to pay. And she says, Oh my goodness, you are the second person today to pay with one of those. And I was like, Oh my God, what are the chances? And then I thought about it. I said, Wait, was the other wand pink? Oh, good, good. Yes. Did the other did the lady have brown hair? I was like, maybe she was with her daughters who were very blonde hair. Yes, they were beautiful. I said, that was my friend. Whose name is also Nora? Oh, did you, Tella? We have the same name. We have a podcast and we got these from my dad. Did you say all of that? And then my kids were like, like walking backwards, like far away. Did you have everybody with you? Everyone but Kevin. Oh my gosh. It was hilarious. So good. What are the chances that we both went on the same day to the same store and got the same checker? Because there's usually like 12 checkers. I know. I couldn't believe it. I didn't love it. It's so funny. I love that you knew it was me and not your sister. Well, I didn't realize my sister had a wall. Oh, right, right, right. And then my dad said she paid, and her younger daughter was like, oh my gosh. It's really funny. Oh, I'm into it. Yeah. I haven't lost my card all week. Oh, hooray. Yeah. That's awesome. But it is really funny. It's so great. Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Oh my gosh. I haven't used it this week yet, but I have to. I had to take my card out of it so that one of my kids could use my card. Because they're not allowed to use your one. No, heck no. Heck no. No. Room for one princess in this is me.

Cockroaches Fireflies And Pricey Nature

SPEAKER_00 11:33

I do have something disgusting. Oh, God, tell me. And I know you're. So in Australia, they busted the largest ring of illegal bug breeders. Oh, come on. 100,000 illegal cockroaches. What is wrong with these people? Oh, gross. So why do you have that up right there? 100,000 hissing cockroaches, which are kind of like almost the size of your thumb. And I hate cockroaches. They this these people were breeding them. Why? Because they are selling them as a sop cost-effective reptile food. So that people don't have to buy like 20 crickets to feed their snake. They could just buy one of the. What does that cost you? I don't know. And like, here's the thought. Don't have a pet snake. You don't have a pet that requires you to feed it insects. Sickening. And also, how did they like with somebody like, hey, I have an idea? Like, yeah, let's breed illegal cockroaches. Yeah, let's do it. Like, where? Where are they like procreating? Yeah, how do you set the mood for your hissing other? Oh, God, that's so gross. Gross. How does one find themselves in that position to be breeding? How do they get caught? I don't know. Maybe their neighbor was like, we don't know. We have a loud hissing silent coming. Something isn't right over there. But bugs are very popular this summer, too, because people are paying a lot of money to see fireflies having a firefly experience. Do you call them fireflies or lightning bugs? Lightning bugs. What do you call them? I call them lightning bugs too. There's this place in Pennsylvania that they are like. What is the lightning bug experience? So you can go to see a bunch of them in one place. Okay. In captivity. Or in the wild. Oh, I can't find the article anymore. But it's a good thing. Oh, why do you still have that out? I'm sorry, the cockroach. You would you rather see mullets? Yeah. Okay. So this place in Pennsylvania, they're charging $325 a night a person to go and camp on their ground to be surrounded by firefly lightning bugs. It's like $2,000, right? Yeah. For your family. I was doing the math. Yeah. Yeah. I was doing like slow multiplication. I like lightning bugs. It's fun to catch them and see them. But I don't want too grand. I would do that maybe for the northern lights or maybe for. They do it for a champagne tasting. Maybe like uh if my child was in the Super Bowl. I don't know, but not for lightning bugs. No, I would do it for something like more fun. Yeah. Or or also like something that maybe wasn't as fleeting. Like, there they go. Yeah. I want to experience something. Yeah. Like we're going on a big Disney vacation, which is a lot of money, but I also feel like that's that's a lot. Yeah. It's a lot of money, but it's also a lot of activity. You get a lot of bang for your buff. We're not just like, there goes Nikki bye. Well, and you also get that good iced tea ice. Oh, I do on the boat. Yeah. That'll be nice. That's itself. That's worth it. It's not the vacation for me, but I hope those people who are paying that money see all the lighting bugs they can.

The Plop Vacation Debate

SPEAKER_00 15:03

This, the plop vacation, that's kind of a thing right now. CLOP. Uh-huh. Where it's really you just pack up all your stuff and like plop down on the beach somewhere with no plans and no agenda. That is my worst. And no, right, mine too. That sounds like the worst vacation ever.

unknown 15:20

No.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

No, thank you. I want to be doing and going and seeing. Not necessarily a museum, but I would like to check things out. Experts say it resets the nervous system. No, that activates my nervous system. Makes me feel lazy. Yeah. No way. Also, it's too much sand. It's too much sand. And for people with younger kids, we're kind of out of that phase, but then you have to watch them the whole time. It is nerve-wracking. You're right, it is. I feel like if you are a family that goes to the beach on the regular, your kids kind of know the drill. But I know for us, like when our kids were little and we would visit Al's family and go to the beach, I found it very stressful because my kids aren't used to the waves. We're not used to the schlepping. It's not like we're a well-oiled machine where everybody knows their job. We were just like all over the place. Anything but flopping. Yeah. Yeah. And then I never would be able to sit. And my kids are lucky enough to have the beach at my parents' house, but on the flip side, they're not used to staying very long. They'll go down if they can go an hour. And it's yes, they're right there. So they'll go for an hour and then they'll walk back up the steps and be back in the house. And I don't like to feel stuck. No. I don't like to be like, I I have to stay here. Correct. And I don't like to have to pack up a lunch. I don't like a like a cheese sandwich on the beach. Not for no things. Yeah. So no plations for us. Nope. We're plop free. Stop the plops.

Sponsor Break Buick SUV Deals

SPEAKER_00 16:43

And let's check in with our sponsor. Drop it like it's plop. Okay. Nora, have you heard about the Buick S-U-V sale? S-U-Sale? I've heard of the S U V sale. Oh no, it's S-Y-O-U-V because they want you in an SUV. Well, one thing I do know is Buick makes an incredible SUV. Or as you say it. S-U-V. And right now there's fantastic deals at Mike Hagerty Buick GMC. Oh, would they have an SUV though that's going to fit my family of six? The Buick Enclave probably has just what you need. And all Buick models are 0.9% APR for 36 months, bonus cash, or a CCR component. Oh wow, what a deal. And you can build these things just how you like them. Customize your own Buick SUV at 93rd. It really is for you. It really is just for you. Head on down to 93rd and Cicero or check them out at haggertycars.com. I sure will. I'll see you later. And now back to the show.

T-Shirts We Keep Wear And Remember

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Our topic today is t-shirts. Look at you wore t-shirts. No, I did wear a t-shirt. Oh, I totally missed the boats. And I'm not really a fan of t-shirts. Like I'm not really. I'm really a t-shirt girl. Yeah. Are you a fan of a t-shirt? I love a t-shirt to bed. You do? Love a t-shirt to bed. Like a lightweight t-shirt or like a kind of t-shirt. Like a concert t-shirt, like a school t-shirt, like a college t-shirt. I have, well, I know I've talked about my Kit Kat t-shirt from all the candy bar wrappers that I saved. I like a nice, like worn out, soft t-shirt. And you save a lot of t-shirts, I would imagine. I do. Where do you keep them? The ones that I wear, I keep in my dresser. So I have I do white and gray t-shirts in one pile, everything else in one pile, and then I do a pile of, not a pile, but like a stack folded of long sleeve t-shirts. Oh, I love a long sleeve shirt. Yeah. And then I have a lot of t-shirts from the musicals I've worked on. Do those have a separate home? Those are in my closet. Because they typically don't wear those. Because it's easy to do. But they're hanging. But they're no, they're folded and they're like in a the furthest corner of my closet. Okay. Because I feel like I can't throw those away. Yeah. But but I'm not wearing, you know, SpongeBob the musical on the regular. Well, you don't sleep in it either. No, because those are typically special shirts? Not soft. Ah, yeah. The quality is different. The quality is different. Yeah. But what about you? I'm not a big t-shirt girl. I don't like to sleep in a t-shirt. Because you look like you're matching Jamie's. Restricting. I don't even have I have a t-shirt for like the sports teams. Ah. So I have a NAS football and NAS soccer. I have a Packers, uh, U of A. I lost a bet, so I have an ASU that I had to wear once. I like that you still have it. I prefer for sporting events to wear the colors of the team I'm supporting versus the t-shirt. But in college I did have an Arizona basketball shirt that I loved. Oh, what happens? I don't ever have to. Oh I don't know. It was 20 years ago. I probably wear long-sleeve t-shirts more than short-sleeve t-shirts out and about. But but I have shirts kind of like you have on, like where it's crew neck top. Yeah, the t-shirt, though. I wouldn't, yeah. And like, but it's not like a merch t-shirt. Like a concert or like words on it. I have a lot of race t-shirts. I don't have them anymore. Oh. But if it's like a dry fit race t-shirt, I'll keep it so I can run in it. But if it's just like a cotton one, not so much. We do a run every 4th of July put on by Hal Higdon up at the lake. And he's a famous marathon runner. I mean, now he's in his early 90s, but his plan still is like tried and true. Everybody still uses it. But at the beginning of the race, instead of, it's just a 5K in town, but instead of making shirts or having shirts made in a swag bag, you bring an old shirt. Oh and you take an old shirt. And my kids love it. I think it's gross. I don't want somebody else's old sweaty shirt. But yeah, my kids think it's hilarious. That's kind of a funny. I bet they ended up with some funny shirts. They have great shirts.

unknown 21:06

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

But they're old and dingy. Yeah. I have a couple old t-shirts. Like my like my dad has one that says Southside Irish Catholic Democrat socks fan. Love that shirt. I actually I had a shirt. This might be over sharing. And it's gonna be good. Aidan was born so quick, I didn't have time to change my clothes. So I gave birth to him in a t-shirt. Yes. Rory as well. I was also in a t shirt. Was Rory the one that they didn't believe you? And you were like, I deliver babies quickly. Yep. And I still have it because I didn't know I feel like I can't keep this t shirt away. And it's a Ryan's daughter t shirt. Oh, it is? But I was, and then actually the t shirt out Al was wearing a Chelsea. It wasn't the same t shirt. No, not my birthing shirt. Gross. So disgusting. I can't believe I just said that. It's really so gross. Al was wearing a Chelsea football team shirt when Aidan was born and actually now gave it to Aiden. So now Aiden wears a tell you. Yeah. Oh God, it does sound like I wear a lot of t-shirts. Well, you just happen to be, yeah. Ryan doesn't really wear t-shirts. My kids wear t-shirts. Yeah. They love to get merch from concerts. Yeah. Everywhere they're. But that's like I would say, but even growing up, I had so many t-shirts from high school and college and concerts, and everything was a t-shirt. It was. I remember like uh hypercolor shirts. Oh, those were those. Do you remember like artsy craftsy projects where you could iron on something and then you would outline it in puffy paint? I had a so many birthday parties. Birthday party of that. And then it went on that machine and it spun. Oh, the spin art. Yeah. So you it was the birthday, the birthday party I had was it was a surprise party too. I remember it really well. And we outlined a heart or a circle or a star with the puffy paint, and then they wrote our names in the middle, and then they put it on the machine and it spun. And it was remember? Stephanie had a party like that. Those were cool. But then somebody else, it was like you had to cut these little like appliques out. They were like pumpkins or like rabbits or something. And then you ironed it on the shirt, and then you outlined the little picture. You did coffee paint. That's cute too. That works. For my ninth birthday party, my swag was Nora's ninth pool party and a beach ball. Oh, that's great. And people and friends kept those for years. My Chicago friends kept those for so long. That's awesome. Um, did you guys wear Stussy and Massimo shirts here? I did not, but I do remember them. Okay. And another big t-shirt for us in high school was the baby tees, the Hang 10 baby tees. The little seat on the corner. We were baby tees were not totally my thing, but I would wear like an Abercrombie like t-shirt with then like a short sleeve button down over it. Oh, okay. A lot of layers. You know, happy summer two shirts at a time. I'm picturing like Wayne and Garth.

unknown 24:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:16

Yeah. Yeah. A thousand percent. But then I remember we went to Breckenridge, Colorado, when I was in junior high, and they were doing like silk screen shirts made to order. Oh, it was like blew my mind. Because you would pick out the design you wanted. Yeah. And then they would put it on the little thing and then just boom. Yeah, it was then it was like smear it. They would like roll it and then press it somehow, and it was like, oh yeah, fascinating. It is fascinating. Well, I make I've made a lot of t-shirts with my cricket. You have made you made our oh, the price is right ones. They're so good. And then for the beer Olympics that my husband does, I've made those shirts. I like doing stuff like that. I like a little crafty project, but a lot of t-shirts. A lot of t-shirts. My youngest prefers a dry fit shirt to any other shirt. My second prefers those. So then I have to be kind of mindful. I mean, he'll wear whatever, but he really he really clings onto those, so I'm always on the highest. It's funny, my oldest does not like dry fit. Oh, he doesn't? At all. Really? And my second will almost only wear those. Or it has to be very, very soft. I'm like, can't I'm like, can I please just wear the same thing? Then my third will wear whatever he's doing. I yeah, I'm just I'm more of a dress girl. Yeah. But it I mean it started as an undergarment. Did you read the history yet? It's when laborers cut were cutting their jumpsuits in half because they were so hot. And then the military required the t-shirts as the standard undershirt. Yeah. And then they like crept up to the main street. We have James Dean and Marlon Brandoff. Which I think is what trendsetters. How to write? Let's do this. Like I'm just gonna wear them. I mean, it was essentially like wearing your underwear. It's gonna wear my underwear in this movie and put the jacket over it. Yeah. Because then I also thought it was a fun fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald was the first one to put the word t-shirt in an uh in published form. Oh because he mentioned it in his book, The Side of Paradise. And then it was finally in the dictionary in 1920. Took a while for it to get in the dictionary. Do you spell it T-E-E or just T? But how do you spell it? Yeah. T-shirt. I don't really know. I don't often write T-shirt, but if I were to write it, I would do T-dash shirt. Yeah, my kids have a big collection of t-shirts, and I love to see them go. Yeah. Out with the old. Yeah. And with the new. I mean, I still have t-shirts from high school. You do? Yeah. Oh, my Pond Camp t-shirts. You were those to me. They have my name on it. No, they're from my parents' house. Oh my god. They're all like extra largest, because for some reason I thought, you know. Oh, I think that's what we wore. Yeah. When I was 100 pounds that I was an extra large. Did you get a senior? Yeah. Did you get a senior shirt? I don't think we did. No? I don't think so. Did you? Yeah. It didn't have all your names on it, did it? No, it said like, can't hardly wait to graduate. Because I think that's a movie popular then. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a great movie. Yeah. I love that movie. All right. Well, should we launch into Eyes and Lows?

Eyes And Lows Sunscreen Ants Audiobooks

SPEAKER_00 27:34

Let's launch it. Um, my low as a Mom fail. Oh, what? I I find that very difficult to believe. Yesterday, Kevin got invited to go swimming with someone. And I was like, let's put sunscreen on, friend. I wanted him to wear a rash guard. No. But he didn't want to. I was like, okay, fine. But so I'm spraying him down with sunscreen, but it was cold. Like the sunscreen, you know, the spray is cold. And he was like, ooh, and then we were laughing, but I was like, come on, like, I have to spray you and rub it in. And I guess he like jumped away. I didn't get his shoulders and back this way. So he got poor guy. It's hard to get him to wear those shirts now, though. I know it is. And I get it. But I'm like, you wouldn't have gotten so much easier. Does he care? He cared last night. Because it hurt. But thanks to you, I have the cooler. Oh, the after sun cream. That is like a miracle. Not a sponsor, but highly recommend it. Like it's it really is. It's a game changer. Like when you put that on, it really does heal. It does. Yeah, that's good stuff. So, oh, I just felt bad on my poor baby. Milo, do we have an ant problem? Shoes. In the book box. The brewery. Maybe that's who took your books. First we were a thief, now we maybe that's who took your books. The ants. These ants took. No, they brought them to their colony. They're trying to get smarter. Right. And they're so strong. So when I was gone this weekend, I came home and Ryan was like tongue in cheek, like, oh, lady said we had ants in the book box. He's like, it's outside. What do you expect? I'm like, I hope you didn't say that to her. And he kind of rolled his eyes, like, so when I went out there and looked, I was like, like, she's not whistling Dixie, like ants about. So I had to clean it all out. I had to, I threw the books away. Yeah, that was because gross, right? Yeah. No, that was the right call. They were infested. Oh. I was still cringing thinking about it. So did you put some of our favorite ant traps in there? No, I didn't. I just I sprayed it and then I'm just leaving it hanging. Okay. So I'm sorry about the book box, has been a really problem, child. It really has. I'm so sorry. So I'm gonna wait for those storms to pass today and tomorrow. And then I'll head at it. That's a good idea. Thank you. But my high is also book related. Oh. I have discovered, I think I'm kind of late to the game. Okay. Audible. Oh listening to books. That's how I listen to the the murder book you told me. It's so great. It's awesome. It's like listening to a podcast. It is. It's so good. I'm into it. Yeah. I really like Audible. I don't know. For those of you that have read Theo of Golden, Let's Talk. Oh, I'm not I'm not finished with it. It's a little bit slower than what I'm used to reading. It's charming. But I thought, how am I gonna get through this? And I thought, you know what? Maybe I can plug it in to my walkman. Get my time machine from cassette and listen to it while I'm on a walk with the dog. And sure enough, Audible is terrific. Yeah. And you can do like 1.2 or 1.5 is a little much. I agree. But 1.2 is a happy medium. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I tried, so I loved, I liked listening to the murder books on Audible. Then I tried to do Hamnet on Audible and I couldn't focus on it. I think it was too. I think you need a lighter book, maybe. Maybe. For me, anyways. I need a because I was like, wait, I need to read this book. So I bought it for my vacation. What was it called? Hamneth. Hamnet? Hamnet. Like a net for ham? Exactly. Yep. And what is Hamnet about? About Shakespeare and his wife when their son Hamneth passes away. Hamlet and Hamnet? It's yeah. Oh, that's right. I know. So it's it's definitely really sad. But there's a movie that came out a year ago that I really want to see, but I don't want to see the movie until I read the book. And it's taken me this long to read the book. Okay. Oh you're such a thing. That almost was your thorn. What was your high? My high was at the New York Knicks and won the NBA channel. And there was joy in my house. Oh my God, my son Kevin was like he and Al were just so happy and like crying and embracing, and just it was so much joy and relief that it was over and that they won and that they were happy. Yes. It was very, very nice. Yeah. They're just they seem like a really nice team and nice guys. Really good guys. Really good kids. You know what I liked about it when they won? They were all just emotional. Like they were all just like relief and happy tears and just so overcome with emotion and gratitude rather than like, oh, we're the best, we're the world champs, we rule, we rock. I appreciated that. Good. And I was so happy for your fam. Thanks. You're welcome. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
