Timitri & Katiah: We're back. We're back. I know y'all thought you got rid of us, but you didn't. Quit, huh? Thought we quit. Thought we give up. Thought we couldn't take the heat. I know I've had a few friends reach out that are like, hey, I really hope you didn't stop recording because I really enjoyed the podcast. And I'm just like, we'll be back, I promise. Things just got hectic. Like we got sick. Things have been so crazy. kinds of sick back to back. Back to back to back sickness. I'm like, what is happening? And here we are on Friday in March and it's what like 80 degrees out outside. already? Yeah, I don't know if the season, the seasons changing have anything to do with it, but I don't know. This is a rough winter for us. We had lots of... It's been so rough. Lots of respiratory stuff. Yeah, were fighting sicknesses all the time. Yeah, lots of respiratory stuff. I took a little trip to Spokane to visit family and have some of our family meet Willow because they haven't met our youngest yet. ⁓ Yeah, did that and then it was like we got sick before that trip got sick after that trip and then And then we got hit with a tummy bug most recently. Yeah, and it's like was it all one? Was it all one virus? who knows like how do you like it literally went from one to the next? Yeah And i've been seeing people on social media too saying the same thing that they're like half their house has respiratory stuff And the other half has tummy bug stuff So they're like is it all one virus? Like is it just this new like mutated flu? That's just No kidding. Hitting every part of your body. Yeah. We haven't really had, we haven't really had like a abundance of different viruses like in a while. And I'm hearing like norovirus, ⁓ influenza. Rhinovirus. Rhinovirus. You know, there's just, yeah, there's a lot going on right now. Yeah. So that took us out because nobody wants to record a pod. when you're not feeling good and our voices weren't working and we're stuffed up. Yeah it was the boogers for me. I don't like my voice as it is and when I got a stuffy nose it's even worse. Well it's like even before we stopped recording I remember sounding so stuffed up leading up to it and it was constant like I'm constantly stuffed up and I feel like I finally am starting to get there but I mean it's still like we're just super flummy lately. I know even had to have a mold inspector come by to try to figure out what's going on around here. a mold inspector come by yesterday just to ease my worries. For a little peace of mind. A little peace of mind. And also to maybe be like, told ya, we have mold. Yeah, but instead I get to say told ya. You don't know that? We haven't gotten our numbers back We haven't, but talking with the inspector and him saying of all my years inspecting, I've had two homes come up with enough mold for remediation. And that made me feel better. And I know you're studying to be a home inspector. So like you're going to feel the same way. But I think a lot of builders and home inspectors dismiss mold when I think any trace of mold, any number of mold that's coming up in the actual air should be a cause for concern. no matter what the number is, in my opinion. I think if you do a little bit more research on, on mold and how prevalent it is in your environment, you'd realize that you would have to live in a fucking bubble in order to keep those trace amounts of mold out of your system. Cause what they're, what they're testing, it doesn't matter whether or not the mold is in your house, because most likely there is some sort of mold or bacteria in your house with their, what they're measuring. The actual numbers they're using is the amount, the volume, and there's thresholds that you could withstand. And I understand you're like, no, it should be zero. And that's just not realistic. So. Because if you think about someone who has like an allergy. I mean, this starts a bigger discussion anyways from like from birth. think all people should be tested for allergies from birth. So, you know, what you need to avoid in exposure. as you grow up, because we're dealing with that with our youngest anyways, but like, if there's someone who's allergic to peanuts, even the tiniest trace amount of peanuts is gonna affect them. Just like gluten with me with Celiac disease, a literal crumb can put me on the bathroom floor. A crumb of gluten. So if there is a small particle of mold in the air and someone's actually allergic to it and sensitive to it, It should fucking matter. I don't know. I think as a race, we're slipping as a race. Yeah. The human race, we are slipping, especially with all these food allergies. Like, I think it's here we go. I don't know. It's it's bad when trace amounts of stuff can. Knock you out when there's I don't know, I think about people living. in less fortunate places that have extreme exposure to a lot of stuff all the time. And they don't just have the like, well, I think that my air should be clean and my water should be perfectly clean. And these people, I'm not saying that they're healthy. It's just, it shows that there's the human body could take a lot more than I think we allow it to. And what I see with like with all these food intolerances and allergies that people remove from their diet or they try to remove from their life, it just seems like it becomes a domino effect of just like increased sensitivity to these, whatever these allergens are. Like from my perspective, backseat riding, watching you go get diagnosed celiac and how that has like trickled into like, now if you have a trace amount of gluten, it'll ruin you. like literally ruin you, right? And before, I remember you were pregnant with Luca, I would go get you bags of cheeseburgers from McDonald's. Right, but the damage was being done even though I wasn't having symptoms. Yeah, but now damage is being done and now you're not having gluten. No, my actual intestine is healing. I believe you, I'm ignorant when it comes to health stuff. Okay, so in my head and my big dumb We're not even gonna go down that because mine's an actual autoimmune condition. Yeah, and I can see how that's trickling into other aspects of your life. However, maybe exposure therapy maybe isn't a bad idea. if you're allergic to you should lick a peanut every now and then. Not for someone with an autoimmune You gotta build up your strength. feel like that's what our bodies But I don't think we are like... I think there's a lot of exposure. We get exposed to things, toxins in our food and in our environment that could trigger those allergies. I don't think it's something where it's like, I don't know, like some kids, like our youngest, for example, has, we don't know if it's an intolerance or an allergy. And we don't know all the foods that she's intolerant to yet. But most of those types of things they grow out of by the age of one and then sometimes by the age of five. But I feel like when you get allergies later in life as an adult, I definitely think that is something that it's like there's a genetic factor at play and then it gets triggered by some kind of environmental toxin or exposure to something that triggered that DNA change, just like how we feel something triggered the DNA change in Mila. These weird anomalies. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, I don't really think that allergies are like... a conspiracy theory, but it's just it gets like with the mold thing, my only thing on that is For one, we live in Colorado. It's so dry here. Like, I can't find a wet spot anywhere. And growing up in Tacoma, where plants grow on windows, like... You can smell mildew mold. You could smell when there's a true water intrusion problem. I just couldn't do that here. But what I can't explain is the sickness and the migraines and the different neurological things that we've seen since we've lived here, you know? Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of different aspects. Hopefully mold isn't the one. Maybe it's just. I hope not. Yeah. I mean, it would be nice for that to be the cause and us to be like, cool, we're out. can go somewhere else. Yeah. But. Chronic stress and fatigue can be a part of that. detoxing from mold too, if it, if that is in fact what it is, is a process in itself. So maybe it's just a seasonal life or maybe it's mold. Who knows? We'll find out. I don't think it's malt. yeah, I think the inspector said we can get those results back within a few days. So it'll just be interesting at least to like. They used to go through the list of what bacteria and fungus they found and see what traces there are. I'm still interested because ⁓ before we moved in to this house, there was a really bad water leak in the basement. ⁓ All the water stain is still there. It's not wet. But yeah, we've thought maybe that there was some dormant spores or something and we have no idea. So we just wanted to get a little peace of mind, find out what's going on. Aside from that, being sick, making sure we don't have mold, getting our health in check has been kind of like a issue. Like we're in our 30s, like different things are coming up. Some things get... postponed and some things get avoided but ⁓ I recently had to get another colonoscopy rewind rewind rewind so first I went in to get a I was trying to talk to my doctor about getting a vasectomy because We've had enough kids. Yeah, we're done and ⁓ I had to go in for an annual exam because I hadn't been in for a while And during the like the questioning, she's reading my chart and she's asked my doctor's asking me like, how are your, how are your meds helping you? And I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis back in 2023. And a couple months after I was diagnosed, my symptoms had gone away. So I stopped taking my meds. So when she asked me about meds, my only response was, you know, like what meds I don't. Like I don't take meds. Wait, what do mean? Yeah, those were supposed to be forever meds and I stopped. So we had to put the vasectomy off to the side. I immediately had to see GI get a colonoscopy done to make sure that like the inflammation had not spread. ⁓ So now I'm like freaking out, like, ⁓ my God, am I going to have cancer? Like I was supposed to be on these meds forever, taking them every day. And I just quit like two years ago. So a month goes by and I get my colonoscopy ⁓ and ⁓ long story short, they said everything was in remission. Like it looked real good down there. So I was confused because these ⁓ I quit taking the meds that I was supposed to take forever. ⁓ They left me with a suppository I could take like as like an emergency when you feel like you're getting a flare Yeah, like they have oral and anal ⁓ Misalamine And they stuck me with the anal. And they stuck me with the anal. Misalamine. never thought we would say anal on this podcast. Um, anal, misal, misalamine. Yeah. I guess it's like a silver bullet. It helps. was an insurance issue. Makes me feel good. Makes me feel a lot better. My poops have been pristine lately. Um, no weird shapes, no more inflammation guys. Get checked out. It's I'm serious. It's We're all adults here. Yeah. And there's a lot of friends. There's a lot of people I know, like just even in their thirties that. Having some thoughts or having some hesitation about you know, going to see what's going on ⁓ I know typically you want to wait till like they wait till you're like 40 I think it's like 50 I think a lot of guys are like 40 and they start getting shit like that's what they get their first like colonoscopy or prostate exam, but ⁓ Regardless if you if you have any thought whatever don't hesitate I Had to explain this someone before like you can hesitate or you could avoid it all you want It's not going to change the fact that it's spreading and it's trying to take control of your body. The only thing that would change if you wait, it could get worse and not be treatable at that point. And on that same note, my old friend who I'm no longer friends with, but my dad stays in contact with her. ⁓ Someone went to school with. and who used to live with me. My mom kind of took her in as a foster child. Long story there, but ⁓ she is cancer free. She was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, stage four. And she went through treatment. She even had to end treatment early because it was affecting her liver negatively. ⁓ But I just got word that she's cancer free. that's. Yeah, that's crazy because the last you had told me she had. Things yeah, I think you're saying something about her liver was getting complicated. Yeah, and then now yeah, she's cancer free. That's good. Yeah, but I mean 34 Yeah, people are getting cancer cold cancer, especially younger and younger. It's really scary Mine is it hasn't turned to a cancer yet Ulcerative colitis gone unchecked could definitely ⁓ Do that as like a prostate or testicular cancer. Um, but then it's supposed to be something that you, that's kind of like genetic. Um, or if there's some sort of, uh, like disruption and lo and behold, um, I was stationed at two different military bases, uh, that are in a, what is that class action lawsuit for PFAS? PFAS? PFAS? PFAS? PFAS? I think it's like micro plastic or something. They had ⁓ some sort of fire suppressant in their groundwater. Leaked into the water system, yeah. Yeah, so and they were they're making us drink that stuff heavy. I don't know if that's where it came from, but I mean, that's the only that's the only way I could see, especially if there's a lawsuit at the end of it. So yeah. ⁓ Aside from that, yeah, now I just look forward to a vasectomy here in a month-ish. I'm kind of nervous. I'm kind of scared. ain't gonna lie. Are you? Yeah. What are you nervous for? That I'm gonna have this false sense of security and we're gonna have another gig. Well, if it's meant to be, it'll be. I guess. That's how you end up with twins That's what I'm saying if we accidentally happen to Conceive again, it would it would probably be twins especially because I'm I mean I'm almost 34 so Yeah, it's a little scary territory, but I was gonna comment too on the cancer talk and like the autoimmune condition I found I was reading something about how cancer, the reason that like things like that autoimmune conditions, because celiac disease can lead to cancer too when it's untreated. And same with like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, like those types of things too. It's because it creates inflammation in the body. And when there's inflammation, the body turns more acidic. So cancer is able to grow. Like cancer's not able to grow in a basic body. Wow. In basic cells. And so when your cells are more acidic because of... Your body welcomes cancer. Your body's like cancer. Well, yeah. And your body's so... Our bodies are so sensitive to things. It's like anything can trigger inflammation and you don't even know. They're like, ⁓ dairy's inflammatory, soy's inflammatory, meat's inflammatory. It's like literally every single thing in the world can cause inflammation. You just don't know. what your genetic markers are and what's actually gonna cause inflammation in your own body. So it's really interesting to go down that path. But yeah, back on the vasectomy, ⁓ I've been worried about that too. Because they say you are at risk of conceiving another child for up to a year after your vasectomy. ⁓ like... I feel like it's like a broad claim to as like a protection. Yeah. You know, because even a year like within like up to a year, it's like, OK, like you would think down the road, maybe something comes undone. And next thing you know, sperm's making it right out again. Yeah. I don't know. I. That's the only thing it's not like the end of the world, but I just. You know, yeah. It's a risk. Yeah, it's a risk. Especially when we've decided like, okay, we're done. You know, we feel good. So yeah, we'll just have to put other protections in place. But yeah, I think it's gonna be good. And that's next week already? No, next hope not. think, yeah, it's like in a month. Yeah. So. ⁓ Yeah, we've just got a lot going on. Mila has had a lot of appointments. Mila did an intensive. That was part of why we were so busy. Yeah, forgot. It's already been like... A month or so. Yeah, it's been so long since we recorded. So Mila did an intensive therapy session. And for those who don't know what that is, we have Napa Center here. I don't know if I talked about this already in an episode. I don't think so. I don't think I have. ⁓ but Napa center is, what does Napa stand for? ⁓ NAPA for something. I don't think it means anything. Yeah, it does. It's on their sign when you walk in. a, okay. ⁓ It's NAPA stands Neurological and Physical Abilitation Center. Yes, that's it. So we have one here in Denver, which is one of the perks of living in Colorado. ⁓ And they do weekly therapies, but they also do intensive programs, which are three week programs where a child goes to therapy every single day for three weeks. granted these kids are coming from all over the world. Families are coming from all over the world for three week. We even know a family who has been in two of Mila's intensives that's from Italy. but we've met people from all over the world. Australia, people come here from Africa. Yeah, I think there's another Napa in ⁓ Texas isn't their one in Los Angeles? I think so, yeah. But yeah, they've got one in Australia, they got one in the UK, but still people travel based on timeline. You know, there's a wait list, you know, and there's these families with these kids all over the place. whatever you can get in, luckily we have a place right in our backyard. Yeah. We love it. It's been great. ⁓ So she just finished up her intensive. Of course, we were sick during part of it, so she missed a few days. ⁓ But it went well. Her skills are progressing really fast because of Intensive, and that's why Intensive programs are so to kids like Mila, because A child can gain skills in a matter of weeks that would otherwise take months ⁓ or even a year or two to gain ⁓ because they're getting that back to back to back ⁓ therapy with specialist. ⁓ yeah, lots of repetition. Yeah. So you can what sessions you have. ⁓ There's PT, OT, spider cage. ⁓ speech ⁓ and so for Mila we did Spider Cage and then she did like a functional session with an OT and BT. So what is that DMI that those kids do? ⁓ Dynamic movement. Intervention? Intervention, yes. Yeah, so DMI, I think it's more like where they try and isolate. This is like where you see them like balancing kids on like a board. Yes. Like, and they've got like some ⁓ shoes like braces on or something. Yeah, so they're working on different kind of stability and stuff like that. yeah, so Mila's Mila hasn't done DMI and I was trying to ask if that would be beneficial to her, but, ⁓ I might need to do more research on DMI, but I know a lot of kids who do it. Yeah, I know. For some reason, I believe, ⁓ her. I feel like it was her OT who was saying that Mila's course, like truck support ⁓ is pretty for DMI, but I think it's her lower half that's like. Cause she goes limp so often, like rather than being able to hold her body up. Yeah. And a lot of kids in DMI are in the neurosuit and Mila's not allowed to be in the neurosuit. Is it her spine? I think it's because of her hip dysplasia diagnosis. And I thought after surgery that she would be, I thought after surgery that she would be cleared to be in this suit, but I don't think so because ⁓ she still has the risk, I don't know. ⁓ So we don't do like the fancy stuff like the neurosuit or anything like that. I think the spider cage is pretty fancy. The spider cage is super fancy and it's her favorite thing ever. She pretty much gets suspended up on her feet with bungees and a harness so she can kind of do some weight bearing with a little less gravity and then from there they bring in ⁓ They could bring in a trampoline. could bring in a treadmill. Yeah. ⁓ they also do like some lap pull down type stuff with her to work her upper body. it's a really cool facility. They actually just acquired another portion of the building. ⁓ while were there, we saw them finish and we got to enjoy the new family room that includes, ⁓ like a play room for the kids. ⁓ Yeah. And they're building parent workout room. Yeah. so you can go and work out while your kid's working out. So it's cool. We don't do our weekly therapies there just because it's a lot to pack everyone up and do weekly therapies and Mila doesn't love the noise. She's gotten a lot better with it, especially like when you took her to swim yesterday and the pool was completely filled with kids. She did really well. So as long as she's doing something she enjoys while it's noisy, we're okay. But when you're forcing her to do therapy and it's noisy all the time, it can be a bigger battle. So we do our weekly therapies at home, but yeah, it's been good. Yeah, it has been busy. It's been busy. ⁓ We have though, obviously we haven't been recording, so I feel like, I don't know, some things have been kind of chaotic in the household. So chaotic. I don't feel too good about... Here I go again. I don't feel too good about the way I started off today. So ⁓ I'm motivated. Start the day fresh. On Monday? No, I can't do that. Start tomorrow. Yeah, you have to. It has to be ASAP. If I say Monday, then it's not going to happen. Yeah. So that's everything included. Like myself, my health, my family. Yeah, we just got to get back on track. We're staying up late. We're stressed out. And then it carries over the next day. Life has been chaotic in the house and out of the house. I think we've got a lot of still always, always probably going to have outside factors affecting us. But more so Some of the caps and caps and cuts that we've briefly upon that I think when we talked back in February, we recorded like after the denied. that 56 hour cap. Yeah. And then Hick Puff was like, ⁓ we're meeting with you again to discuss it and we want you to pass it. And JBC was forced to pass it. So it's been passed by the JBC. There's like one other process it has to go through in order to be like official, official law. ⁓ it's just like that. It's coming. Yeah. only a little like things all of the House and the Senate and all the things that they have to go through to pass it. So it's still going through, but it's coming. We are bracing for it at this point and they're going to kind of roll it out in phases. It's going to start July 1st and slowly cap hours down to 80 and then like 65 or something and then 56. So it's coming, it's here and we're just trying to brace for it. And it's been a lot. I think it's been really heavy emotionally, think for me especially. I just have a hard time with change and especially change that I can't really control. But now we're switching to a program called C-DOS. Right. Where it's ⁓ all like member. oriented. basically, Mila is a child who can't represent herself. So she has an authorized representative who is my mom. And my mom is going to be the one who does the hiring, who decides on the pay and decides on all of that. For me and you. Yes. The only reason why we're allowed to do this is because daughter is legally eligible. ⁓ And the reason things are getting complicated. So they say is because there's so much fraud. Yeah. So they don't, they don't care if you're getting services. If are doing it the way. Yeah, you actually, yeah, deserve the services. But that's the thing. There's a lot of people that are, that are fraud on Medicare. I understand that, but it's not people. I listened in, I have been listening to every single meeting, every single hearing, everything. There was just a, a hearing in DC that's national and they're discussing the Medicaid fraud that happened in Minnesota and how now they're going to be coming down on other states. Colorado is on the chopping block, New York, California. Those are the main ones on the chopping block right now next to Minnesota. And all those share what politically? Democratic ⁓ that's the issue is it feels more like an attack ⁓ democratic led states. ⁓ then, we're going after fraud. Because nobody wants fraud. Democratic, Republican, whoever you are, whatever you believe in, you're not gonna want fraud in your state. a governor not gonna be like, ⁓ yeah, like, let's just keep letting the fraud happen. The problem is, is that they're coming after families who are adhering to the laws, who are following the rules and doing it the right way. And the cuts are on the backs of our most vulnerable community. However, it as, ⁓ like when you said the government doesn't, like, they don't really want to allow fraud to happen. I don't think it's that they're allowing fraud to happen, but I do think they look at these individuals ⁓ like a number or like a product. So if you come to my state and you need these services, we get funding for that. And we also get a portion of your funding and you get to stimulate our economy with that funding. So I do think it is kind of tied hand in hand and with some of the claims about like the political side of like the Medicaid stuff where it was supposed to be like illegal immigrants were sent into certain cities in order to sway votes, say, we'll give you ⁓ services, just vote our way type of thing. ⁓ I don't know if that's 100 % true, but I think that's the stance the White House is at least taking like, hey, until you guys come clean, we're going to start taking all these people off your services list. Yeah. But when I was in the hearing the other day, the leader ⁓ of CMS, ⁓ who's the one who does this ⁓ and does the investigation, She was saying that certain things were getting built like specific skin guards or something was being billed like thousands of times for one person, which doesn't make sense. And so it was like different products. But the thing is, is that's not a person issue. That's a provider issue. That's that's fraud at the provider level. And that's fraud at the level of the DME companies, the durable medical equipment companies. Because I think it's, I think it's a lot of all of it. I think there's different levels of fraud happening. ⁓ Even to members. I know there's members of abusing that system. ⁓ But I also do know that there's some things going on behind doors too. that's ignorant. What's that? To say that members are abusing the system. Most members don't have the capability to abuse the system. To abuse Medicaid? Not. You don't think there's people who would maybe families of members, maybe nurses of members. Yeah, but not a member in themselves. And most of these members are children, adults with disabilities, seniors. ⁓ yeah, Like when she's saying that a specific product is being billed over and over again, you think that that 95 year old woman who is getting all those products is like, yeah, I won the lottery. got all these bandages. got thousands and thousands of bandages. No, that's not what was happening. you think that that 95 year old woman who is getting all those products is like, yeah, No, that's not what was happening. It's the company that was committing fraud under her name, you know, billing for those things, not actually giving her those supplies and instead like breaking in the money. Yeah. So that's the issue. sense. Yeah. That's the issue. And I understand and I get it. And I know that they have to make cuts somewhere and they have to make up the money somewhere and they have to stop the fraud, but this isn't the way to do it. I don't know the way to do it. And if I did, maybe like I need to go run for office or something, but I don't think this is the way to do it. When you say this isn't the way to do it, do you creating caps and cuts and actually disbanding services that people actually need. That's not the way to do it. It's just like with the snap situation. You don't cut food supply for a whole community of people just because one or two people did something wrong. Just like a school. You don't shut down the school because one or two kids brought a gun to the school. You don't you know what I mean or because a teacher decided to abuse a student you don't shut down the whole school Unless the whole school is the problem and it's that's not that's not the situation we're in so no So it's a power move Power move that's a lot of money. I was looking at because I was trying to see With all the stuff going on with the war right now. I've been trying to compare numbers like How much are they spending? And how much, you know, how much is the budget cut versus how much are they spending? And those numbers are lining up. You know, so their monthly, their yearly budget cut for Medicaid almost completely matches up with their yearly budget increase. Weird how that works. exactly. And. Yeah, I mean, when I was in the hearing, was getting frustrated because everything gets political at that level. It has to. And it's very clear every time a Republican senator spoke versus a Democratic senator, you would know without them even saying like, even their name tags, didn't have like D or R on them. There was no indicator. But the minute they start talking, you're like, that's a Republican senator, obviously, because he's like, congratulations, you guys are doing great work and stuff like, it's like, wait, what? No, like this is, this is a real issue. And It's not going to get fixed until everybody comes together, but I don't think that's ever, there's ever gonna be a day where everybody's gonna come together and figure it out. We're just gonna keep going back and forth between here's what you get this year and here's what you get next year and that's it. Yeah. Now we're country divided Not even really about politics anymore. Now we're divided. on principles, like values. Yeah. OK, this is what's crazy for me. And this last this whole year is there's people on one side, ⁓ there's people one side of things that feel like thank God Donald Trump was elected. Everything is going great right now. And then there's people on the other side that are like everything's burning down to the ground. ⁓ And I don't know where I'm at. I don't understand what's happening. I'm spinning circles over here. You feel like you're just like being ping ponged between both sides. Yeah, like what we just talked about, like the whole, the budget cut, how they affect us. how things change. We've been expecting things to get like, you're like, I'm scared to change and blah, blah, blah. But I'm not gonna say or not like your income didn't just increase. Hey, Lenin. She does look at her. Look how she just walks through. You wanna record a podcast? You to say something? Mommy can hold you while we finish. Our two year old just woke up from her nap. Can you say it into the mic? Hi, Lenin. What's your favorite color right now? Pink. Pink? What's your favorite movie? Minnie Mouse. Minnie Mouse? You're so cute. What's your favorite food? ⁓ Eggs. Do you want to head downstairs and grab a snack? You want oranges? Okay, go grab some oranges and you bring it back up and I'll peel it for you, okay? Hahahaha So yeah, budget's changing. I know that sucks. You need clips. We have no footage to share on our socials because we just realized our second camera wasn't working and Tometri's not in the shot. Our youngest, our baby is six months and she just discovered how to do raspberries and she does it all day long now. Hey, at least she does that when she's frustrated instead of crying and screaming and yelling. like Mila doing it. I know, it's really cute. She's so much like Mila. Okay, anyway, so this was going to be an update episode. We just want to reconnect with you guys because we've been detached for a little while. ⁓ We have some exciting stuff coming. We have some guests coming up. We have four guests ready to come up. So we're recording with a guest tomorrow. And... We'll kind of release these episodes and waves and then My mom is going to come on and then we have our friend Lindsay who's gonna come on as well. So we have four guests lined up. We have some exciting episodes I'm really looking forward to them. We're get back into the swing of things get back into our routine and Hopefully not have another hiatus, but if we do we might I kind of like that. ⁓ Yeah, you were talking the other night about like Let's just do seasons and we'll do 10 episodes a season and then we'll take a break. I'm gonna mute it so that they don't hear all the thumping in the... But yeah, so we might consider the whole season idea. I kind of like that too, just to give ourselves a break that's like set rather than just being like, we don't really feel like recording. So yeah. They can't hear you, but yeah. He said, then come back kind of fresh. He said it just like that too. Okay. Well. We're excited to be back on the mic and can't wait for our next upcoming episodes. Hopefully this wasn't too terrible with our baby in the background. But yeah, thanks for listening in and stay tuned for some great stuff. I love you. I love you. It's going to be all poppy. I know all her spit in there. Say bye, Willow. Say bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Close enough. Enjoy that.
