SPEAKER_02 0:08

Oh, just show them out. So there's Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome back to In Good Faith. I'm Amber. And I'm Alyssa. I almost said it again. What? And this is In Good Faith podcast. But it is, and we're back here on a Friday. In the stud in the stew. It's a fantastic Friday because you get to listen to us talk. Yeah. That's so weird that people are listening to our voices in their car. Yeah. It's not comfortable to know that. Oh, Lello. So yeah, I hope we're not annoying you too bad. But thanks for listening. Today, uh, before we get into our what? Oh, sorry. Before we get into our mediocre updates, I was just gonna say today's topic. We're talking about the simple joys in life. So we'll kind of get into that in just a few. But of course, we have to give you our mediocre life updates. Very good. What happened with you this week? Not a whole lot, but yeah, I really don't have anything, but something stuck out to me when I was driving.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

I saw it's not that funny because he was homeless.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

But I saw a homeless guy using like a knapsack. Is that what those are called on a stick? The things with the sticks? Yes. I don't know. I've never seen that before, and I was like, what in the world? That's it, it just stuck out to me. I hope that he's doing well though. Yeah, I'll say a prayer for him. But good on him for having one of those. Yeah. That's the most random thing I've ever heard in my life. I was just I don't know. So I've never seen it before. Anyways, so I don't have much going on this week. No. So I I mean, honestly, I really don't have too many life updates, but one, I'm embarrassed to say this because it's so weird, but I I think I'm gonna learn to pickle vegetables, that is, not ball. I was gonna say we don't think we have learned that already. No, gotcha. So I made some I made some pickled green beans the other day, and they were not bad. Did mom throw those away? I don't know. I forgot that they were there at the house. I made them a gift, my family, that is, and I brought them some pickled green beans that I needed. I thought you were about to say that is again. I know, I've already said it twice. That is for my family, that is, and they were pickled, that is. So I made pickled green beans and gave it to my family for a gift, and I think they threw it away. Like no one's opening the fridge and looking at that heinous jar of green beans floating. Green beans, it's in like dishwater-colored water. But you know what? They were tasting. They were very good. They were just good, forgot about them. Yeah, so that's probably rotted in the back of y'all's fridge, but I still have mine and haven't much on them, and they're good. I want to pickle like other things. I want to try a pickled cucumber. That's so good. I've never tried that before. I don't think anyone's done that. Mm-mm. That's new. I bet no one's done it though. I wonder what it would taste like. That's the dumbest thing you've ever said. I didn't. Man, food for thought. Yeah. Let's try that. Um, I did see pickled uh strawberries. That's Pinterest. That's just people trying to do like something viral. It sounds like it would be good though. Maybe in a salad? Yeah, maybe. Pickle lemonade. Let's do it, ladies. Woman's pickled lemonade group. I'm starting a Facebook group. Starting a small group. I do want to start a small group where we pickle. That would be kind of fun.

unknown 4:59

It would be.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

However, I'm only doing two pickle. Doing refrigerator pickles and not like the stovetop. Yeah, not those serious like when you seal it. Yeah. I don't know what that's called. Like shall canning. Oh, canning, yeah. I ain't doing all that. It's gonna blow up in my face like boiling water or something. But yeah, anyways, pickling, try it out. Pickled lemonade. I'll let you know how it is. I'm gonna make some. I made some homemade lemonade or I made it the other night. How'd you make it? Snacks, sugar, water, and like hogwash. So I made it with honey. And so it was just like this dingy, dingy color. Yeah. And it wasn't that good. Did you like it? Um, it was okay. Yeah. Any other life updates? Mediocre? No. Mediocre. I don't think so. Well, my next one is it's it's more of a question. Do you want to buy a sewing machine and start a quilting class with me? No. Why? I told you I'm not very interested in sewing. Bro, if I told you how much these quilts can sell for, would you be interested? Depends on how much. Like $175. Yes. Do you know why? Because it takes probably like 20 years to finish it. Yeah, I know. I'm so intimidated. I forgot the word there for a second, but I I grasped onto it. I'm intimidated by it because there's so many different little pieces in, I think geometry might be involved. Oh. I'm out. Yeah. So I don't know how to do math on fabric. So not sure. But if I take a quilting class, I think it's like it's like super cheap downtown. That place? Yeah. Where did you think I was gonna take the class? YouTube? The art center. Oh. I'm done with classes there for now. So yeah. Yeah, it was fun as heck. Best time ever. Yeah. And then my next one is I don't know if I should say this. I might gatekeep. Tell me off. Shut up. So I think I'm gonna start collecting the bor ooh, I have to look up how to pronounce it. But I think it it's somewhere along the lines of bordalo pinero plates. Oh, those lettuce plates. Like the lettuce cabbage plates. It's by celery. No, that was the thing that grandma made in pottery class. Oh my that noise that you hear is fixing my shoe. Sure. No. But so I think I'm gonna collect bordalo pin hero plates. They're made in Portugal, I believe. And I want to take a trip down there because they still have like their studio where they like to Portugal? Yeah. Why? Why are you looking at me like that? I don't know. What do you have against Portugal? Nothing. You just made it sound like it was like to a hop and a skip. Yeah, I know. I just didn't know, but I thought I was gonna say Lakeland, didn't you? No, I'm trying to go to Portugal. But they have like their whole like studio, is it where like things are made there and it's I really, really, really want to go. And I love like the cabbage plates for like Easter and like Easter brunch. I just think they're so cute. And I saw some at the little vintage store that I went to recently, and they had like a whole they had like a big bowl and she had flowers in it. Why didn't you get it? Because it was like kind of expensive, like $425 for a bowl. So I have to collect the small things and sell them for money. No, we're gonna keep them. I will go to Portugal. We should. Portugal 2027. Put it on the books, put it on the Caliander, the calendar. Anyways, that's all right. What are we talking about today? I already said. Oh yeah. So, guys, we're talking about little things that spark joy, simple joys, if you will, that is. I think we I feel like we talked about that. We probably have. No, I think like we touched that, guys, run it back. We're talking about it again. No, we talked about it in like a little like a little excerpt in an episode. Okay. But you know, our joys maybe changed. Yeah. I I wrote down like little things that spark joy. Is that yeah? Yeah, girl. Anything that makes you happy. Okay. Go ahead. Start us off. Okay. Meeting a friend for dinner, specifically on a patio. Yes, with a pasta. Ooh. I think we're saying that because we're hungry. Sorry, I'm like feral right now. I'm sorry, I gotta reel it back in. What's happening? Why'd I just make that noise? I'm forgetting. I'm getting like that pasta that we had in Tampa for my birthday. At the Ave Ash Ash. That was pretty good. It had like mushrooms and it was like. Did we have the same pasta? Yeah. Oh, it was very good, but we got like about four and a half bites. Yeah, it wasn't enough pasta for this old girl. My belly wasn't full. I like to leave a restaurant full when I'm paying that much. Yeah. I think I'm gonna make some kind of pasta tonight. I'm so hungry. We should go to dinner. Should we? We can. We've got free will. We should go to dinner. Where do you want to go? I don't know. Where has pasta? Chili's ew. Um what time is it? See, it's already a little late. No, no, no, it's fine. No, please. No, please, mama. Anyways, we'll take we'll talk about that afterwards. But yeah, I love to go to dinner. Sit on a patio with a friend, good conversation. The sun is out. It's it's a little sweater. Yes. And then like a nice creamy pasta. And a good like Caesar salad to kick you off. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's ideal. Yeah. So if that's actually not even if anyone wants to go to dinner with us and eat some pasta, let us know. Yeah, please let us know because we're in. Go ahead with your first one. So I we did this together, but me and mom went to the old house and we found all the old CDs that we used to listen to. Oh yeah. And we got we have a CD player, and I've been playing our old CDs on a CD player. It's nice. And just listening to it in my room. And it's just it's different than listening to it on your phone. I will say, I was laying in your bed the other day when I you were you went somewhere, and I was laying in your bed listening to the CD, and I was getting a little bit overstimulated, and I was like, Alexa Turn off. Oh, okay.

unknown 12:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Next generation is cooked. Yeah. So that was a little bit annoying though. I had to get it. I was wondering why you turned it down. Well, it was the mix that I made. The CD was called Amber or whatever. I like made CDs when I was young. Then like this black-eyed peas song started just banging, and I'm like on my laptop trying to do some work. I'm like, oh my gosh, what is this? Yeah, it just annoyed me so much. But it is a vibe. It's really that is like so joyful just to like listen back to like what you were listening to when you were 12, cleaning your room. Like, oh, it brings me back. Yeah, some good mems. My next one is finishing a project that I thought was gonna be hard. In like finishing it. So once I make that quilt, I'll be proud. If you started the quilt, no, uh-uh. At all. What are you referring to when you like what have you started that you thought was gonna be hard? Hmm. Well nothing.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

I started a lot, but no, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:30

We talked about that in the la last episode. I don't know. I don't think I have like a certain like project that I'm thinking of, but it's just like that feeling, like it brings me so much joy, like when you do, yeah, don't experience that much.

SPEAKER_01 13:45

I don't know, I've never felt that. JK.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Oh go ahead. Finishing remember that coloring book that I got for Christmas? Yeah. You finished it? No, I actually forgot that I had that and I need to get back into that. But finishing a page of coloring, that was like a really fun little joy. Okay, sorry. Getting an iced coffee out. Mm-hmm. I know I can make a really good coffee at my house, and I love my coffee. But I just really like getting a coffee. I like to buy a coffee. I like to give them my money for a coffee. Yeah. You're gonna spend five dollars on a coffee? Don't care. No, idiot. I'm gonna spend six. I'm spending seven dollars and thirty cents. Sorry for saying idiot. I did put on my list a coffee and a pastry. I love a pastry, but I feel guilty in the mornings because I'm like, I'm starting my morning off with complete sugar. Should yeah, I don't really mind. This week I did tell myself that I wasn't gonna eat sugar. And then that very next day I went to that new coffee shop. I said, What's that? And I tapped on the glass. She's like, Oh, that's a cinnamon roll muffin. I said, I'll take that. That sounds delicious. Yeah, it was. Oh, I want to make cinnamon rolls. Yeah, I want to make anything that I can eat right now because I'm so hungry. So yeah. My next one is driving with the windows down. Simple but true. It's just easy, breezy, and beautiful. That's that's one of my most treasured things in life. I feel like that's the sole reason you got a Jeep. Yeah. Like catch me with my top or hold on. Top down. Top down. Not all. But I figure out that's crazy talk. Um, yeah. I haven't taken my top down. I wanted to say top off, but it is taking it off. I haven't taken it off, but I would like to. But the weather is just too crazy here. Yeah, I feel like in Florida, like, how do you own a Jeep in Florida? Because even in the pretty rugged, but mine, I have cloth seats. Yeah. I just feel like the weather, like, uh uh, does not permit. Maybe this weekend I'll take it off. How do you put it back on? I don't know. That's why I haven't taken it off. It just seems so difficult. But I love, and Demi got me on this one. Keith Urban, somebody like you. You put that song, you blast that to 37. That's how car how high my car volume is. Mine, I know some people are cringing, Sam, that mine ends on 37, but I don't have an even number for it to end on. Isn't that crazy? It ends on 37, like my volume. I don't know why. Like, I think they should just do 40 or something. That makes more sense. At least an even number. But, anyways, so yeah, crank it up to 37, Keith Urban, somebody like you, windows down, and you can just scream. The best drive is from my house to your house. Oh, I love driving home because you have so much time. And I have I can listen to all my songs. Yeah. Anyways, good one. Good one. I don't know. I think that's a good one. I love doing that. Kind of going along with that. I just love being outside. Like, especially on the weekends.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

I just love being outside in the sun. Mm-hmm. And I like to be barefoot.

SPEAKER_02 17:44

Sometimes I'll wear shoes. I do love to be barefoot. I would say that's a simple joy for me. Just being barefoot. Don't even get me started if there's some mud. Yeah. You and your mud and sand. It's just, I like being in the dirt. Sorry. That actually kind of is. We don't really get to like. Oh sorry. I just I just like completely interrupted you and what's going on. Anyways, mine's just being outside in the sun, being barefoot, and playing my island music. Forrest Frank, surprisingly enough, just came out with like, or I don't know if he just did. I just saw it. Like islandy music. So it's like islandy Christian music. I've just been into it today. Quite a vibe. Yeshua. Yahweh. Oh. Crap. Anyways, the song's called Yahweh. It's really good. Yeah, I like Yahweh. That's my fave. It's so good. Okay, you can go. You can speak now. Thank you. Sorry. So I was just gonna say, like, whenever I wrote this one, laying in outside in the grass, I was thinking of like being barefoot. Like I just love to touch grass. Pretty much just grounding, being outside and being being one with nature. Yeah, you know. And then going back inside and binging 20 hours. And then going inside to check my phone. Being one with nature and grounding and stuff, you know. Okay. Wait, did I just go?

unknown 19:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:22

Yeah. Are you done with yours? Mm-hmm. What was it? Just like playing in grass. Touching grass. My skincare routine has been nice lately. I've been enjoying that. Joyful. I got like a whole little thing going on. And it just makes me feel kind of luxurious and like I have my stuff together. Me too. That's the one thing. My little serums and stuff. Yeah. This one is when you're reading the word and something just like clicks, and you know it's God like saying something to you. I love when that happens. Yeah. Like, I don't know. Like, I'll be like, okay, God, like, what do you want to, what do you want to say to me? Like, what do you want me to hear? Like, and sometimes I won't hear anything. And then, like, other times, it'll be like a couple days later, even like after I prayed that prayer. Open my Bible and something just like clicks and it just like wraps up together perfectly with like what I was like reading before or how I'm feeling or what I was praying about. I'm like, dang, how how he knew that? Like, that's cool. But it it just makes me feel seen by him. And I'm like, okay, he like he does hear me and he does, he does want to talk to me. He cares about the little things, even though it seems like so silly to us. But it all matters to him. This is like, I just like have my Bible open here, but this is kind of off topic, but it reminded me, because I just like looked at this little, it's called the pastoral application note, but it says nothing by accident, and it's just referring to first Samuel, I think, nine. But this little excerpt, it just says, nothing happens by accident. Not everything happens for a significant and discernible purpose. I read that with the wrong tone of voice. Sorry. What is that called inflection? Yeah, I read that wrong because I thought that was a comma. So let me start over. Nothing happens by accident. Not everything happens for a significant and discernible purpose. Yet we should pay attention when God guides through circumstances. God wanted to use this situation to guide Saul, though it's talking about a specific situation. And God does the same with believers today. And we need to trust in God's goodness and in his ability to make all things work together for good. I just texted that to Demi too, because like I feel like I was talking. About it with her, but like this kind of just like goes totally off subject, but it was just like a squirrel moment because I saw that open, but like you reminded me because he's is in like little like he pays attention to the little things, and it's like stupid things. Like, do you ever get caught up in like is this me or is this God's will?

unknown 22:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

Same old song and dance. I'm like, is this me forcing something or is this God opening a door? Like, can I my next one? Allowing things to unfold instead of forcing clarity. Dang. Nothing happens by accident. Dang, that's actually crazy. But yeah, this just, I don't know. I didn't even like have anything to read out of this specifically today, but I was just like getting distracted and I read the first sentence of that. But like I can't even, I don't even have an example. It's one of those things though. It's like you don't, he doesn't tell you. He's not gonna like be like, yeah, this is the plan. This is but he might for some people, but yeah. But it's one of those things you just have to keep going. Keep going. Then it'll be revealed. Was that me or was that him? Yeah. Yeah, but sometimes I'm like, okay, like, should I oh, we'll start with the most heinous thing, dating apps. Should I get on this dating app or is that me forcing things, or could that be like a door that's that can be opened? And I struggle a lot with that because I'm like, I just don't know. I don't I don't know what.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

I think there's like being a catalyst, is that the right word?

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Yeah, you can crack a door, and that's just you like putting your foot in the door or whatever, putting yourself out there. Yeah. I don't think that's you taking control. I think it sticks out to me like nothing happens by accident, but not everything happens for a significant and discernible purpose. So it's like sometimes I get caught up in the little questions. And it's like it's okay. It's okay if you you're allowed to make this decision, but just like keep God with you in it all and like at the forefront of your mind. Like you're allowed to make a decision, you're allowed to download hinge, you're allowed to, I don't know, whatever the circumstance is, but I do feel like keeping God like in the forefront of those decisions. You really can't go wrong. Yeah. Well, I don't know. But I guess like just the line, like not everything happens for a significant purpose. Does that make sense? Am I reading into that correctly? Significant, but it's still a purpose. Yeah, there is still a purpose, but like it's not make or break. Like it's not gonna, I don't know if I'm saying that correctly. Like it's not gonna, it might not be like life-altering. Yes. Exactly. And it's like I put so much pressure on like, ooh, like if I do this, then this is gonna happen. And like maybe you download or I don't know if you're gonna be like, I mean, that's a dumb example because I hate that app. And I don't know. I actually just um discontinued my account today. Believe it or not. Yeah, it's a wasteland, anyways. I forgot I was saying no. Perfect. We were just talking about like the little things don't don't make or break. Or may not. Well, like it might not be a significant purpose, but it could be a smaller purpose leading up to a significant purpose. Yeah. Like certain things in my life, I couldn't understand why they happened. And like now you as you move along in life, you're like, oh, well, that didn't work out because he wanted maybe this door to open, and that door couldn't have opened if I was still doing this.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

I was trying to understand, like, see if I was understanding that correctly, but no, I totally get what you're saying. Sorry, I just like went off on that random thing because this was sitting in front of me and I That was my last thing. Oh, really? Well, yeah, to reiterate, it's joyful when you hear from the Lord because sometimes that's where joy comes from. Well, that's all the time, but sometimes like it just I just I feel like I get get honestly. I need help talking. Honestly, sometimes I just get so I feel like I'm so like disconnected and I'm like, God, where are you? So it just brings me so much joy like when I am in the word and when I'm hearing from him, and it's like so clear to me. But my next one I'll uh pick an object there. No, but the other week, Pastor Mike spoke at church, and forgive me if I'm not repeating this correctly, but he mentioned something like we want to like we expect all these things from God, like for him to do all these things in our lives when we're just doing the bare minimum. It's like sometimes I'm like, why don't I hear God? It's like, well, are you listening? Yeah. Are you listening? Are you reading your Bible and like getting into the word? Yeah. And sometimes the answer is no. Yeah. And then you get mad and you have like almost no right. Yeah. I, yeah, I mean, I'm guilty of it for sure. Like, I won't get too deep. I'm not gonna air out all my dirty laundry, but like last night I just had like such an awful spiral where I don't even know what started it, but it was the same old thing where it's like, oh, okay, I'm 30, like, still don't have a I almost said a wife. I almost said still don't have a wife and kids. Still not a wife. Still don't have kids. He still said wife, still not a wife. Oh, still don't have kids. My uh ticking biological clock, if you will. All the things, and I'm just like, I I I as you know, I'm a rule follower, followed the rules, and like my god, like why haven't I seen you move in this area in my life? And like last night specif that was like the overarching thing that was started the spiral, but then like last night I was just like literally on my knees, like praying, crying out, whatever you want to call it, lamenting, lamenting, but like I felt convicted because of that same thing. I'm like expecting all of these things, yet girl, that it's not one-sided.

SPEAKER_01 29:33

Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 29:36

I I'm not really good with like words, re not reiterating, but what's the vocabulary word I'm looking for? Analogies. No, just like getting my words out, articulating, articulating, as you can see. I I don't have the vocab, but like I'm not good at articulating. I just I'm better at writing, and like that's like how I just like get everything out. So it is vulnerable for me to like talk about it, but it's like you do all the right things, and it's just like I say right things. I'm a sinner, I'm sometimes like a piece of trash, like you know, like I make mistakes, but it's like I can't like just come to God and expect like I'm not giving him my time sometimes. I'm not making him a priority sometimes, and then yet I have the nerve to go be like, why aren't you showing up here? Well, he could turn it around and be like, Well, why aren't you showing up here? And I'm like, You got me there. You really did. So I do feel very convicted about that. Like life just it just gets so busy. And that's not to say, like, I'm I am in constant like communication with him, but sometimes like I just I don't read my Bible for like two days straight sometimes. And I'm like, and longer, don't let me fool you. Like sometimes it's longer than that. And I'm like, who am I to come and just like demand all this stuff from him and say that he's not showing up when I'm not doing the same thing? It's like, girl, look, look around. Yeah, you gotta listen. And it's like last night I was praying, and I I I didn't even have the words to pray because you know he knows your heart. Exactly. And I said, you know what? I'm just I'm just going to be quiet and I'm gonna listen to what you have to say to me because like I I I just have to sit and listen to you. So I was just like silent and like meditating and like praying and listening. And sometimes that's what you have to do. Like just be quiet. Be still. Just be still, girl. But I I was gonna wrap that around to something, but who knows what that was. My mind. Don't know. We'll just leave that and we'll just we'll just leave that loose end. I'll think about it whenever we're talking about something completely different later on. But yeah, let me step off the pulpit for a sec. The next one is trying a new recipe and it actually working out. Any any thoughts? No, it just left me hanging there. I'm trying to think of any new recipes that I've tried.

unknown 32:31

Honestly.

SPEAKER_02 32:31

No, I tried your well, this is old news, but the boy kibble. Yeah, it'll be delicious. I know it. That junk is so good. You can't beat it. I think I have to make that for lunch tomorrow for work. Yeah, I'm gonna grab it. Boy kibble. That's how I want to say that. I don't know why. Every time I hear that, I have to say, boy kibble. Did I already say the trying a new recipe one? You just did. No, yeah, I know that part, but did I say it before? Mom, can you pick me up? I'm scared.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Mom, this girl's memory is weird.

SPEAKER_02 33:07

No, but sometimes like I'll try a recipe and it's just not for me and my taste buds. As for me in my house, we ain't having that again. I feel like I don't try as many new recipes as you. Like I usually forget. Well, you like to experiment like kind of off-the-wall stuff. I yeah, because I don't have anything in my fridge. And so I have to get the hey, what can I make out of ground beef and saltine crackers? Like, I have to Google stuff. Wait, what did you try the other night? Ground beef and gnocchi. Yeah, I I ate on that for like four days. I've ate so much dinner. I literally had lunch, I had dinner that night and lunch for three days. I said, I'm about tired of this.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

My belly hurts.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

Yeah, it was ground beef, potato gnocchi, and like some diced canned tomatoes and some other stuff that I'm not gonna get into and bore you with. But it was it was tasty, but probably like pretty repetitive of that same thing. Yeah, when you have that for four days, it's just like just macking on or smacking on yeah, potato dough or whatever a gnocchi is, a ganache. Who said that? Nobody. I just wanted to say it. This is kind of an unhinged episode. I'm acting weird because I'm hungry. Anyways, call the police. Okay, waking up early to go on vacation. Ooh. Whenever I went to Colorado, I was up. I woke up at 1:30 a.m. Just happy as a clam about it. Yeah. Listening to my music. It's not a soul on the road. They're all sleeping. On my way to Colorado. It's 1 a.m. Yeah. It's even just a work. But that's proof. That's proof that there's joy in that because you ain't going to work. If someone calls you to work at 1 a.m. That is so diabolical. You're going to jail. I'm reporting this. But yeah, I love waking up early, like when it's dark out and like it's still all cozy and dunk. You get a coffee to go. At the what's the gas station we always go to? Pilots. The pilot in Haynes City. So lame to shout out. Shout out. Shout out pilot Haynes City truck stop. And we get a Cinnabon. Yep. Do we have to ask them to heat it up or do they do that automatically? I think they have microwave set where you can use. Yeah. So we usually get four to five of those to share amongst everyone. And when whenever we get on 27, we start eating those. It's just real good. And we get oh man. My diet on a road trip is the most disgusting version of myself. Red Dye 40. Hot Cheetos. Candy. Oh my gosh, my belly hurts so bad at the end of the drive. Yeah. I'm like foaming at the mouth by the time I'm done because there's something wrong with me. I have like my stomach's full of like caffeine, hot Cheetos, and like what's the one I'm trying to think of? Gummy worms and then the Sour Potch kids. Okay, we're babbling on about that. Um, so yeah, waking up early on vacation. But waking up, like sleeping in and leaving, like makes me mad. Yeah. We have to wake up very early. Burning daylight, you guys.

Skipping Chevy Chase, but you know. And then lastly, having a nice interaction with a stranger. Hmm. Interesting. Has that ever happened? Like you usually get scared at first, though. Yeah, I'm like, is this real? Or are they trying to hurt me?

SPEAKER_00 37:15

Are you a good bot boy or a good guy?

SPEAKER_02 37:26

Are you a good boy or a bad boy? I'm not a boy at all. Oh sorry, ma'am. That's so dumb. No. Oh. No, but yeah, having a conversation with a stranger, if they're like, you know, a nice stranger, a nice some good Samaritan that you see. Um, or like a waitress or something like that. Like, I love those good interactions. And it makes me feel like, you know what? I am a human. Like I can like get out there and meet people and like we're we're also in our own bubble. Yeah. And you forget that you can talk to people. Just like we forgot that we can go out to eat after this. Yeah. Yeah. So I do, I remember like I uh whenever I go on vacation, I like to talk to people. And like, because they're always like, Where are you from? Like, oh, somewhere between Orlando and Tampa. You know, we're like, well, my brother-in-law used to live in. Yeah, it's that whole dance. But I think it's so endearing and cute. And then like you get to talking to people. And like when I went to Missouri, like for work, like it sticks out to me. Like, I was talking to this waitress who was just so nice. And she like brought me like a little match, or no, they didn't have matchboxes, but she brought me like this little button thing afterwards, like as a souvenir from the restaurant. And I feel like just getting to know people, like human to human. Yeah, everyone's got a story. But yeah, that's our little joys in life. We're gonna try to get one of the joys after by eating some pasta. Yeah, that's number one on my priority list right now. But we love you guys.
