They also talk through the curious plot of the movie and whether there is a cultural disconnect preventing them from totally understanding it. They also discuss whether this movie is translatable to North American audiences if Leonardo DiCaprio manages to remake it. Also, is a constant blood alcohol level of 0.05% conducive to a better life? Find out on this week's episode of 'Does This Make Me Look Old?'.

Speaker 0 00:00:00 <inaudible> hi and welcome to does this make me look old, a podcast about aging as gracefully as possible when you're just not ready for two 40 something year old friends move find themselves kind of straddling that really odd period of time when aging and everything that is associated with is starting to become a much bigger part of our lives. We're definitely curious, but at the same time, rather terrified about aging. I'm Schiff. I'm a health science nerd and pop culture themes, and I'm sin and adult and waiting obsessed with finance and self-help books. We're going to be talking about the stereotypes of aging and how they affect us. And we'll also be doing some deeper dives into some interesting topics, such as what it's like to get old in the society dating when you're older and scientific advancements in anti-aging products and even evolution and scientific thinking around aging and throughout it all we chat rant laugh about or adulting mishaps of which there are so, so, so many. So join us as we navigate our second quarter life crisis. Hi, welcome to this week's episode of does this make me look old I'm Schiff and that SIM, Speaker 1 00:01:14 Oh, is it because I was just staring at you blankly for a split second Speaker 1 00:01:20 I just realized that's what I was doing. I don't know why I did that anyway. No worries. It's a, it's a, it's a common phrase for, of mine. Like, I don't know why I took that story of my life. Speaker 0 00:01:30 Oh, it's all good. We're going to talk about this movie because, uh, I, it, one, the, the Oscars just came and went and, um, there was this movie that won for best international feature film called another round, starting Mads Mikkelsen. And, you know, at the time I was like, I had heard about this movie. Um, I thought it would be an interesting movie for the two of us to watch, but now it's become even more interesting because Leonardo DiCaprio and, um, like a couple of production companies that like, there are so like he and his colleagues are associated with have picked up interest in this movie and are going to remake this movie for the North American market. So I was like, we definitely should watch this movie now Speaker 1 00:02:13 Because you know that I will definitely be watching Speaker 0 00:02:15 That because Leo's involved. No, Speaker 1 00:02:22 I'm over at that celebrity crush. Speaker 0 00:02:25 Are you? I don't know if I ever will anyway, so yeah. So then I thought, Hey, you know what, let's watch this movie cause, um, that's okay. Speaker 1 00:02:37 It's going to be interesting. Interesting, because I am curious as to the changes they're going to make, because, um, some of the observations I had felt culturally different to me, where I was like, Oh, that is an interesting way. But anyway, I digress that's for a later piece to come, but yeah. Do you want to give a quick synopsis? Um, just caveat if you have not watched the movie and, um, are, you know, nodding to spoilers, obviously, please pause, go watch the movie and then come back and listen to us. Yeah, exactly. If you're like me who doesn't care about spoilers, in fact who needs spoilers before deciding to invest her emotions and time into movies, um, you know, Speaker 0 00:03:22 Exactly I'm the same way. Well, actually, as we were watching the movie, there's like a scene with a dog and I had to go check out like a certain site. Well, I'll tell you the site. It was like, does the dog die? I had to check it out because I could not watch any more of the movie without knowing whether or not the dog makes it. I know. Anyway, again, Speaker 1 00:03:41 Digress. Let's go back. Speaker 0 00:03:43 Yeah. Step back. Okay. Give us a premise. Okay. So the premise of the movie is that it's about these four friends who live in Denmark and they're probably all in their forties to fifties. Um, it's one of them is turning four. One of them is turning 40. And so, um, so, you know, they're all kind of in these different stages of life. Um, and I think re like, ultimately I think it's about facing middle age and what that means. And like whether or not you're happy with your life as it stands at that time. And then, um, anyway, so that's, that's the, I guess that's the crux of the movie, but then there's an added layer to the movie, which is that one of the characters is turning 40, just as some mentioned, and he's a teacher in psychology. And so he decides to like, Oh my God, I was just, I was watching this movie cringing because I was just like, this is not scientific. Anyway, Speaker 1 00:04:41 He didn't mean for it to be scientific. He just needed an excuse. Speaker 0 00:04:44 Yes, that's true. So the excuse was that he wanted to, well, he brought up this. Oh, and Oh, and I meant to check whether or not this was like a true person or not. We didn't check. Sorry. But you know, if you guys want to Google about it and find out, let us know. So, um, so basic shit Speaker 1 00:05:03 Pretending, like she's actually not going to do this, but she will still end up checking. Speaker 0 00:05:10 But anyway, go back, go back again. We're always getting sidetracked. I know. Okay. So, so basically one of the friends who's turning 40 brings up the fact that there's this psychologist who is under the impression that humankind, it should be like, needs to be, um, needs to have a blood alcohol level of 0.05% at all times. And Speaker 1 00:05:39 The theory, I guess, is that you are buzzed just enough to have liquid courage. And so you're a little bit looser. You're happier because you're, you're Boulder. So you just living a better life, you just live a better. Speaker 0 00:05:53 Yeah. Yeah. And so then they all decided to undertake this challenge and, uh, or quote, scientific experiment on this part of this pseudo psychologist. And, um, yeah. And so then they all decided Speaker 1 00:06:06 What it was like a award-winning psychologist, Speaker 0 00:06:09 <inaudible> the teacher. So then, uh, yeah. And so then they all decide to keep their blood alcohol level at 0.05 Speaker 1 00:06:20 Throughout the day and record, uh, the effects. Yeah. And just for context, Nikolaj is the 40 year old. Yeah. Uh, Martin, Martin is Mads Mikkelsen. Right. And then they have two other friends, uh, Tommy and Peter, Peter is a music teacher and Tommy is the gym teacher. Speaker 0 00:06:38 Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. And so I'm sure that you can all gas, that things devolve pretty quickly and it kind of yeah. And basically like there's discussions around, you know, alcohol use alcohol abuse and kind of like the effects that it has on their lives. Um, and yeah, so that's basically the crux, that's basically the gist of the movie. Speaker 1 00:06:58 Yeah. So, so I think what was interesting. So you're, you're right. That it is, um, I don't know if I saw it so much as a midlife crisis, as I did, like just searching for the meaning of life, but I guess the fact that they are at that age is probably why the only person, I think that came close to, um, that whole midlife crisis part was, uh, the gym teacher, especially that one scene where he tells, uh, Martin that, you know, it's all meaningless. Oh yeah. And, and, and you can tell that, you know, there's some kind of regret there there's, uh, you know, um, he he's been reflecting and, and, and the way the alcohol affects him, it hits him the hardest. Speaker 0 00:07:46 I don't know that it's just about him though, because like, um, and don't get me wrong. I feel like these existential crises don't necessarily always happen at midlife. Like, I feel like it can happen at any time. Like, I feel like I had these existential crises when I was like in my twenties. Yeah. I had my twenties for sure. And then, um, and, uh, so I, yeah, I can't see it just being relegated to midlife, but I can see that, you know, people will sometimes take stock at the certain age, certain ages and maybe Speaker 1 00:08:18 Stages too. Yeah. So maybe it's when you start that stage. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:08:23 Or like, and I can see that maybe a vast majority of people have this kind of existential crisis during their midlife and that's fine. Um, but I think it also hit Martin who was Mads Mickelson's character because there was that scene at the beginning when they were at that dinner party where they talk to, they talk about Martin and his potential, he could have had, like, he ha he was on track. He had a PhD, he was on track to get a grant, but then he, his, his life kind of got sidelined because of kids. And then, you know, and you could see like the, you could see him on that, what could have been. Right. So I think that, like, I think it is, it is about mid-life or like maybe not midlife crisis, but just sort of like an existential life crisis. Speaker 1 00:09:08 I think what it is. Yeah. You're right. Um, that actually makes sense. Uh, because it, it reminded me of the fact that, you know, like when he, yes, his life got derailed. Um, but he also checked out at that age. Um, and as his wife pointed out, right. Like he wasn't, like, they stopped doing those family vacations where they used to go campaign. Um, and that was like eight or nine years ago. Um, and when he was significant, the younger, his, I think the youngest one would have been like a couple of years old or something like that. And, and so he, you know, so he actually let that life event impact how he lived his life. Yeah. For like a solid, almost a decade to decade. And, uh, so that was the part where I was like, Oh, that kind of, that actually makes it hard to take in a way, because you realize that, you know, life's finite. Right. And the fact that he spent such a good chunk of his life just wallowing in a way or being apathetic to life. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:10:18 I don't know. Like I, uh, that's a slippery slope. Right. Like, I feel like, cause his eyes were completely pleased in the beginning, dude. He was sad. He was crying at the beginning. Speaker 1 00:10:32 Like when he was teaching, like in class, like, Oh, he was just completely disengaged, completely. Like he didn't know what he was teaching. He mixed up histories. He was like talking about industrial age, but then he brought in Churchill and Oh yeah. He mixed up world war two. Speaker 0 00:10:50 Yeah. But like, I feel like, I guess I, I dunno, I, I have issues with like the fact that I don't want to say that, like the, what happened to him? What am I trying to say here? I feel like I don't want him. I like, it's hard to know what exactly happened to him because you don't know if like, cause there's nothing about it. Right. You just know that he was on track to do all of this research, but then he put it to the, he kind of put it to the side because of the kids. But then I know, like I don't see him picking it up again. No, no, it's true. But then I, we can't know what happened to him during those 10 years. Was he depressed the mental illness? Like, you know what I'm saying? Speaker 1 00:11:34 This point in life and then what do you do about it? Speaker 0 00:11:38 Because the thing is, it's like, yes. Okay. So he was disengaged for 10 years of his life, but like, we should, I feel like we should cut him a little bit of Slack because we just don't know. Speaker 1 00:11:46 Oh no, I'm not holding him to me. Speaker 0 00:11:50 Um, judgment here. I was just saying Speaker 1 00:11:54 Like, he's too pre not to cut him some Slack. I swear to God. I mean, what else is there in life? It's stuck in a pen, Dominic. Like it's the little things that bring me joy <inaudible> but yeah. So that's what I'm saying. And the other thing is, is that like, he's only in his like forties or fifties, so it's not like life is over. Like you can still do stuff, you know, you're making it sound like it's all over. Oh, I must be in one of those moods dude. There's a fuck ton of time leftover, full other half. Speaker 1 00:12:40 Yeah. No, fair enough. Anyway. Okay. So yeah. So then that's basically it. And I think the other thing is, is that I don't even know if it's really, this whole existential crisis is really relegated to just Matt Matt's Mickelson's character and the character Tommy, the gym teacher, because the other two also have your shoes. Right? Lots of issues. Like, I don't know how I feel about the music teacher. Oh my God. I really don't know how I feel about that. Okay. So another stealer stage. So, um, so you know, basically having the little bit of liquid courage, um, so Peter, the music teacher takes so much to heart that there's a student who comes to him for advice and this student, um, field a year or so had to be had stayed back. Yes. Um, so was basically severely anxious, um, uh, about retaking and redoing, um, his year, last year in school and comes to him for advice because he's terrified that he's going to fail again. Speaker 1 00:13:44 And, and he wants to graduate with the rest of the class. He wants to graduate with the rest of his class. And, uh, the music teacher gives him the advice that have you considered maybe taking a sip or two of alcohol before the exam, just to take the edge off. And I kid you not. I was like, like, I don't know. Did you see my face? Cause I was like, why was appalled? I was like, this cannot be real. Like, you know, I thought I was a non-judgemental person, but I was definitely proven. I'm a judgmental person because of us. I'm like leave the child alone. Do they not have like therapeutic avenues for these children? Meaning this is the time where you go, Hey, you seem to be suffering from testing anxiety. Let's see what other options let's send you at least to the guidance counselor, if not let you know exactly. Let's try to find a way to like, reduce your texts, like your testing, anxiety by giving you extra time or something like, you know, the kicker on the day of exam. Oh Speaker 0 00:14:54 My God, this is ridiculous. The Speaker 1 00:14:57 Said student does freeze up and freaks out and decides not to give the exam. So he leaves the room. Speaker 0 00:15:05 Oh. And just to set the stage, this is an oral exam on Kierkegaard. Speaker 1 00:15:09 Yeah. And the teacher goes after him to sort of, you know, convince him and I thought, Oh, look at that. Here's a teacher. Okay. He does care. And he does, but then he gives him a drink of alcohol, like a bottle and takes shots himself and take shots themselves Speaker 0 00:15:27 Like spilling no to the point where he's spilling alcohol on his sweater. Speaker 1 00:15:32 I know I died. And so, you know, and then of course wouldn't, you know, it, it actually does have the desired effect. So the student does gain enough courage to at least be able to talk through, um, you know, his exam and uh, Speaker 0 00:15:50 The topic being Kierkegaard and anxiety. I was just like, my eyes, my eyes were rolling back so far in my head was like, unbelievable. Speaker 1 00:16:01 But, but you know, I guess maybe that's the whole point is that, you know, you never know, um, Speaker 2 00:16:06 You know, how, Speaker 1 00:16:08 What, what the impact will be, right. For some people it'll devolve into like alcoholism and some people it'll be just enough to get through, you know? And I guess you can't predict the outcome. Is that the message? Speaker 0 00:16:21 I know this movie has me so good. I know I'm missing something. I'm missing a little something because I'm not part of Danish culture. And it makes me want to call my friend Dave up and be like, Hey, you live in Denmark. Like, is this how it is? I know, because I feel like that's the piece that I'm missing Speaker 1 00:16:39 Some cultural context that we're not getting Speaker 0 00:16:43 And don't get me wrong. I get it. Cause in Scandinavian countries, there's a lot of drinking. Like very like, you know, it's like, it's a pretty relevant part of the culture, but I'm to the point where it's okay to take a swig or two before an exam. Like no, no. I think like, okay. Speaker 1 00:16:58 I, I don't think I would have been shocked if the student chose to do it, but I was shocked that a teacher would advocate for doing it. Speaker 0 00:17:07 Like if the student, but you know, as a student, you can do whatever on your own time, like whatever, but for a teacher to tell the student to do this and for it to be, to all work out. Okay. But I think that's the message that I'm having trouble with. Like, I mean, cause how do you know that that child isn't going to become like a raging alcoholic? They don't, you don't Speaker 1 00:17:28 Um, you know, what's interesting though, and this is what I meant about the cultural implications, because if it's being redone by Hollywood, you know that they're going to amp up the trauma. Speaker 0 00:17:40 Oh yes. I didn't think about the, so Speaker 1 00:17:43 That was my point. Yeah. Right. Because I think we're so used to the Hollywood standards of morality in a weird kind of a way that, um, it was, I have expected consequences to be like immediate, right. Like I expected, um, the student to either become a raging alcoholic and do something stupid or I expected the teacher to get caught and, and, and get, you know, fired. Like I expected some kind of dire consequence. Right. Um, there's a little boy in the movie who is so adorable. Um, and I expected him to sort of come across a bottle and drink it and having some kind of effect. Yeah. So I'm really curious, uh, how the American version, if it gets me, um, is going to actually amp up the drama and, and culturally, um, adapted. Speaker 0 00:18:37 That is actually, that's a really interesting question because I, I mean, yeah, like how moral are they going? Like, you know, like how, I guess, like how strict is the morality police going to be on this one? Right. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:18:50 And even like, um, Martin's character, um, you know, his marital issues. Um, I felt like it was done in a very, like, um, very matter of fact, kind of, Speaker 0 00:19:04 Yeah. Right. It was like, it felt, you actually felt very realistic, realistic. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:19:10 Um, you know, some conversations were getting derailed. Some of them weren't, there was, you know, some heightened emotions, some size of like whatever, you know, like, like resignation, resignation being the right word. Um, so, so, you know, uh, that, that also, like I'm curious, you know, cause we tend to think of, um, marital fidelity slightly differently and, and uh, you know, checking out of marriage slightly differently, I feel in, in North American society. Speaker 0 00:19:40 So anyway, it was that that cultural Speaker 1 00:19:42 Context is fascinating. And I really wish I understood enough Danish to have picked up on some of the linguistic classes as well. Yeah. And to your point, like if you talk to Dave, let me know. Speaker 0 00:19:56 I might actually, I might give him a call and be like, Hey, I just watched this movie. What did you think about it? Can you watch it now and tell me. Yeah. And, um, I was interested in one of the cultural, so, okay. So we're watching this movie and I did not even think at all about the fact that these are four guys hanging out, having dinners. Like I was just like, Oh, this is really nice. And whatever, you're going to hold me to that. So soon I was watching this and she's like, that's weird. And I was like, what's weird. And like, I'll let her explain what she thought was strange, weird, weird person. Speaker 1 00:20:34 But I guess I just, okay, so these four friends, it's, it's fantastic. I actually really liked that. Um, they're in their forties and fifties and, and you know, they get together very, as friends, they go over to each other's houses and they're, you know, they hang out, they dance, they, I don't know, do all these, um, Speaker 0 00:20:55 They're close, they're very close and Speaker 1 00:20:56 It's just really sweet. Um, and they all help each other out. Um, so as friendship, it's friendship goals. Yeah, Speaker 0 00:21:02 Sure. What struck me as not weird, but it Speaker 1 00:21:07 It's something I noticed was that the, like, you know, they went to a Speaker 0 00:21:11 Proper restaurant. I know it sounds stupid, but it threw me because I feel like Speaker 1 00:21:20 An American movie, we would see them go to like more of a casual establishment, either a pub or a bar, um, where, or, you know, like, like a diner. Like I expect them to sort of meet in the mornings at a diner, as opposed to like, you know, go to a high end restaurant where they're saying, bring me the champagne, you know, eating caviar and stuff. I'm like, unless they were like, you know, showing their real, the, you know, the lawyers and agents who like are wheeling and dealing, you know, and cutting a deal. But like from a friend's Speaker 0 00:21:55 Perspective that, cause they're all Speaker 1 00:21:57 Teachers, they're all teachers and their friends. It's not like a business dinner. Right. And so that threw me a little bit and I was like, huh. And that is weird. And I, I don't know. I, it shows how, Oh my gosh, I have biases and that's Speaker 0 00:22:14 Awful and it's not a bad or Speaker 1 00:22:16 Good, but you know, it's just, I I'm shocked that I noticed it and it struck me. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:22:21 But it really did. I do. I wonder why it didn't strike me as odd. Glad it didn't. That's good. Yeah. I mean, Speaker 1 00:22:30 It was a scene where they're hanging out in one, a friend's house and they're like dancing and like, you know, hugging. And like I thought that was, you know, like that was like, Oh, Speaker 0 00:22:39 That's so sweet, Speaker 1 00:22:41 But it was something I noted. Whereas when they're, you know, there's shenanigans at the bar, that is something, what was more consistent with how I was picturing the interactions with them. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:22:53 Although, you know, what, what that tells me is that the North American kind of bro culture is a little bit problematic. Oh, I think. Well, no, but like, I mean, yeah. We're when, when, when you, I guess my point is, is that when you look at their drunken escapades at the bar as like normal, it would be like really narrow. But I meant like, I mean, like, I think it's problematic that North American culture seems to think that that's how guys should act like I'm telling you Speaker 1 00:23:30 That I thought that Nope. And I'm appalled that I thought that, um, you know, and, and I was like, uh, which is why I think I was like, Oh my God, this is actually kind of really nice to sort of see four guys being friends where they meet often. Yeah. Um, you know, despite being a different, you know, like whatever they have going on in their lives, um, they hang out and spend time with each other and they're doing it not necessarily like, Oh, I'm always just, you know, like sports or card games or poker games or bars. Right. It's, it's more, um, they're just hanging out and talking or hanging out, talking about important thing. Right. Like marriage and life and decisions. And of course the stupid psychologist experiments. I know Speaker 0 00:24:17 Like the reason that I think, I think part of it is just that they wanted like a change from like out of their lives. Right. And like, and I think you could really tell that at least with Matt Mads Mickelson's character, like it was really having an effect on his life to that point was definitely, you know, it was, it was having, um, like not like, yeah, Speaker 1 00:24:41 He waited something to shake him out of his stupor. Like he, he was in a fog and I think he needed that change to sort of wake up to, uh, you know, it's actually a very poignant like, and it, it resonates what you said a few minutes ago. Um, he, so Martin, um, was having a conversation with his wife and, you know, they're having a marital discussion where, and, and he basically says, can't, we work it out. We have the rest of our lives. We have a long time. And, uh, yeah. And, and, and that puts it into perspective. No, absolutely. Uh, you know, uh, I wasn't like questioning your, your viewpoint at all, you know? Um, but yeah, that does, you know, speak volumes about like how his, his own outlook changed. Right. Where he's like, okay, like we can start a fresh and we still have so much time left to do things together. Um, so that was really refreshing. So I guess now that I'm talking it through, I'm less confused about the movie because I was, I won't lie quite confused at certain parts of the movie where I'm like, what's happening and why is this happening this way? But in a good, Speaker 0 00:25:59 Yeah. I guess what I'm confused about. And I don't know if this is like my own bias or my own issues with like, drinking, but like, like I just find it strange that it's like this pervasive. No, no, no, not, not the pervasiveness of alcohol, like the alcohol use. I just find it strange that it was alcohol that like helped them have this come me. Speaker 1 00:26:25 Jesus moment. That's the message. Exactly. So, should we all be drinking? Like, okay. That was weird confession time. Yeah. Did for a split second, did you think, huh? I wonder if this Speaker 0 00:26:41 Theory is true. Okay. I think that if you're, well, okay. I don't, I just don't want to be judgmental, but like the thing is, is like I can see a small amount of alcohol maybe, you know, helping you quell some anxiety or, you know, kind of giving you a little bit of courage or if you're, if you're suffering from self esteem issues, maybe it gives you this heightened SEL like heightened sense of like, you know, self, and then it allows you to be more courageous and bolder and do things. But like, if you're, I guess my issue is is that if you're using a substance as a crutch in order to get that stuff done, that's a problem. Speaker 1 00:27:21 Right. Yeah. And, and I, and, and that was interesting because that's exactly what happened. Right? Like they all needed to reach their own inflection points and then they either, you know, recalibrated yeah. Or they fell off the rails. And that was interesting. Speaker 0 00:27:39 So, yeah. I mean, I guess maybe, yeah. I think that's the only thing. Like, I mean, I, I understand the, like I do understand like the existential crises that they were all going through. Um, and, you know, and, and, you know, they all got resolved in their own different ways, but I guess my, yeah, I guess my issue is like, why was it alcohol? The, uh, I dunno, the accelerant or like the lubricant for all of this. Like, I find that strange what other substances could be, uh, I don't understand why it had to be a substance. Like, it was just, you need a drink, Speaker 1 00:28:15 Um, kind of a, like a, like you said, an accelerant, something to sort of yeah. You know, kick things off. So I guess the starter gun needed to be somewhere. Speaker 0 00:28:26 Yeah, yeah. Or something. Yeah. I mean, yeah, just, I understand why it had to be substance use anyway, but I'm not a screenwriter. What do I know? Yeah. Speaker 1 00:28:37 It was interesting. Um, highly do recommend, uh, you check it out and the that's, this is to the people who were okay with the spoilers. And if you've already watched it after we told you to paused it, and now you're listening to us again. I wonder if you agree with us or what your viewpoints and thoughts were when you watched the movie. Speaker 0 00:29:02 Yeah, I, yeah. No, it would be nice. It would be interesting to know what I mean. And the other thing is, is that like, uh, I wonder if this is something that, uh, could have been made at another age, do you know what I mean? That's the other thing is I can, did it have to be somebody who is like having a middle age? Speaker 1 00:29:19 That's my point. I don't think so. I think it just needed to be that you needed to have certain aspect of dissatisfaction with your life, with your life. Speaker 0 00:29:29 Yeah. But it really could have been at any age. I feel like that. Yeah. So, yeah. Anyway. Yeah. If you so go, I would suggest you watch the movie. Um, uh, you know, I think it was, um, Speaker 1 00:29:42 It, it kind of like, you know how with, I don't care. No, I care. All I care. I'm not, I don't care. I care a lot. Like I was like, it was buzzing in my head yes. Days. Right. Because I was like, Oh my God, what did I just watch? And also how much I love Christmasy now, but also man, you can't get over Christmas. You know? Like I think that just got me in the heart. So like, I think I was just cracking up so much. It just thinking, how do I prevent somebody taking over my estate? I thought of that after, you know, I laughed my way to it, but yeah. But exactly that was precisely, it was like fear inducing. Like it was like, Oh my God, am I going to be ready? What if like, you know, I need, how do I prevent something like this happening to me? Speaker 1 00:30:35 Yeah. Whereas this one wasn't. So, um, you know, it wasn't like it wasn't as gut punching. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I think that's the issue. I think, I feel like I care a lot was like a gut punch and this one is just kind of like a fun. Yeah. So we watched, we had pizza. It was good. Yeah. It's a good watch. So yeah, definitely check it out and yeah. I'd be curious to know what you guys think. So, uh, yeah, here's a fun social Insta, Facebook or Twitter. Uh, does this make me look old and a email? Yeah. Email us that does this meet me? Look all that gmail.com or <inaudible> gmail.com and yeah, we'd love to hear from you Speaker 3 00:31:17 All right, until next week. Bye.
