We are Tania and Gaetano, two expats who moved our families to Spain for new adventures. We both moved here from the US, Tania (originally from the UK) in 2020, with her husband and daughter from Northern Virginia, and Gaetano in 2023 with his two daughters from Los Angeles. We all met in Valencia and got along incredibly well, but while we cracked each other up discussing our fun times adjusting to Spain, there were quite a few eye-rolls from our girls (tweens and teenagers anyone!). In an effort to give our daughters a little break we thought what the heck, let’s share our experiences with unsuspecting strangers instead. This podcast came to life and we hope you enjoy the pitfalls and joys of our experiences - we all have!

Wenos Diaz, welcome to a Spain. How's it going, Katano? It's going Weeb Bueno, Tanya. A2 E2.
0:16
It's It's a little hot. We're a little sweltering this week, but we have both
0:22
taken some little vacations and I'm just gonna use one of my experiences for the
0:29
a Spain today. Is this an ah happy Spain? It is an a happy Spain. I just want to
0:35
say I've been driving in Spain for 5 years and I have consistently been very very happy with how Spanish drive.
0:43
They're very courteous. Um, and they'll let you in if you put your indicator
0:49
out. They'll actually slow down to let you in in front of them. They'll move over on the on the auto via so that that
0:56
lane is for you to go into. Um, and they stop for every single pedestrian. Like I
1:01
know like I don't know what it's like in the city, but you know, we have a lot of zero crossings or crosswalks here that
1:09
don't have lights where people can just kind of stop and walk over. And they tend to just not even stop and look.
1:14
They just people just walk over here and and people stop. The the cars stop. I
1:20
mean that there is you you you always should look, but I will say the drivers are actually looking and stopping for
1:26
people pretty much 99.9% of the time stopping and letting people walk over.
1:32
Okay, which I love. And we went to France. That was not the case. It was more like
1:38
an American English experience where if you need to cross the road, you need to stop. even if you've got the light just
1:44
double check, make sure and you know that people driving a little more bananas and I was so when we came back
1:51
into Spain I was kind of like ah yes it is nice here how courteous the Spanish drivers are. It's refreshing and unique
1:58
apparently. Okay, so that's my Spain and thank you to all
2:03
the people that drive here and the people I think it rubs off you know as well. you have to change your way of
2:09
thinking about how you drive a little bit when you first drive here. So, I just want to also encourage everybody to
2:15
kind of get with that program when they're coming here and driving from other countries because it's a really nice way to get about.
2:23
Okay. Well, you know, I have to say it costs, you know, a thousand euros to get your license here. So, maybe they're
2:28
courteous because they don't want that taken away because it costs so much to get. I don't know how much it cost to
2:33
get a license in France, but maybe they're just giving them away. They're letting anyone on the road
2:39
that could have something to do with it. Um, so that's my ass Spain. I would just wanted to appreciate the way that people
2:45
drive here. Um, and today we're going to do 20 fun and
2:51
silly proverbs, um, Spanish proverbs, and some of them we have sort of they're
2:57
quite similar to things that we also use in English, but some of them are just completely bananas and we love it.
3:03
And I love and I and like in America we have banana banana ones that are bananas too and the words don't make sense but
3:10
they're so we're so used to them that they make sense. So it's fun reading you know one the the Spanish word
3:17
translating into English to find out what the really words are and then you have to translate it into its meaning. Right. Right.
3:22
So we're going to cover the three things. the proverb which we are calling the Spanish refranes is the proverb and
3:28
then we're going to literally translate it and then we'll give you the meaning in case it's not obvious which in many
3:34
cases it's not because a lot of them I'm realizing which make sense with proverbs that the reason why they choose the
3:39
words that are chosen in in our language and in any language is because they rhyme and they sound good like you just said so it doesn't necessarily make any
3:47
sense uh and please excuse our Spanish off the bat because we're going to have to say
3:52
all these things in Spanish. Do you want to start?
3:58
I have I have my Everyone has known my Ricardo Montabon voice. So, we have to
4:03
we have to get you to channel a voice. Maybe you watch some Tel Nollasa so you can get a spicy Latin voice going to
4:10
help you with your pronunciation. Well, for now I'm just going to attempt with my regular Spanish.
4:17
Paddle my inner sexy Spaniard. Hold on. Um,
4:22
number one,
4:30
right? There you go. Which makes sense. Flies don't enter a closed mouth. And
4:36
they they don't and they don't, which is a good thing.
4:41
So, this means think before you speak. So, I'm gonna have to learn this one because um I have kids in the house that
4:48
sometimes just start talking. So, you got to use that in Spanish, obviously.
4:53
Yes. Basanosas. So, we learned a few words here. Moscas
4:59
is flies. Mosquez is flies. See, the is closed. There we go. And inb, which I'm, you
5:07
know, ba obviously I think we probably know that one. That's a pretty Spanish one. This one. So, number two, I love um it's
5:14
kind of it's a a variation of something we have
5:22
sea. Even if a monkey dresses in silk, it's still a monkey. A completely
5:27
bizarre version of our completely bizarre, you can't put lipstick on a pig.
5:34
No, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. And you can dress a monkey in silk and
5:39
it's still a monkey. It's still a monkey. Cuz I do believe when I was in Morocco, I might have seen
5:45
some monkeys dressed in silk. So, I'm sure you did. They were all over the Three Stooges movies when I was growing
5:50
up, right? There was always the what would they call those? The the the the monkeys with the music boxes. There
5:56
was a name to it. Oh, yeah. Anyway, there's a name for that. Yes.
6:02
So, another one we have here is no neapa digo.
6:09
No. Not knowing a potato about something. There you go. I mean, that makes sense,
6:14
right? You don't know anything. You don't even know a potato about this thing.
6:19
I like that. That's very That's very like clear, I think.
6:25
Yes, I think so. Yeah. Number four. This one's This one's funny. Um,
6:38
so when you see your neighbor's beard cut, soak yours. So I didn't know if you
6:44
have to cut a beard, are you supposed to soak it first maybe to get it to get to
6:49
get your skin and the beard and the hair maybe soft? Well, if you're going to shave, you have to you have to moisten
6:54
your face and you want to be in a Yeah, that's about that's about if you see something happening to somebody else
7:00
that might happen to you, prepare yourself. So, you have prepare your
7:05
beard because you've already seen your neighbor's beard be cut. Like, you don't want it cut without soap.
7:11
You don't want to bleed like your like your friend's bleeding, right? Gotcha. So, so it actually it's a very long one,
7:17
but it very much makes sense. I didn't understand this because I don't have a beard luckily and I didn't know that I
7:23
had to soak it before I cut it.
7:29
So, our next one is deer. Let me start that one over.
7:36
Deoid deo. Okay. So, you got to roll the double R
7:42
and Yeah. One R. Do you want to try that again? deer.
7:49
Wait a
7:54
casa deer roll.
8:00
We're going to have a whole episode in how to roll Rs. That'll be later. Well, I can I know how to roll my Rs. I
8:05
don't know how to stop rolling my Rs if you got 50 Rs in a word. So,
8:10
Herrerero. So, you don't you roll the first two and then the regular one. Anyway,
8:17
okay. Okay. So, you'll do the translation. So,
8:22
deo it's double coo. You're going to criticize my
8:28
Spanish. I'm coming after you, lady. This is a really hard one. I recommend everyone put this into Google and have
8:34
the women there translate it for you or or speak it for you. You mean there you go.
8:40
Um, a blacksmith's house. Look, a blacksmith's house, a wooden knife, like
8:45
the shoemaker son always goes barefoot. It's kind of the same thing. So, it's
8:51
basically saying that if you are if you are the blacksmith's house, you probably don't have a proper knife. And if you're
8:57
a shoemaker, you probably don't have any shoes. Like, no one's nobody from the family is is taking advantage of the
9:03
skills of the expertise that the person in the house has. Well, I mean that's I
9:08
mean we I grew up with the expression a nurse's child's always sick. So I don't know if you if you heard that. So it's
9:15
that's Yep. That's exactly it because you
9:20
I think I think that's exactly the same thing. Like the nurse should be able to stop you from getting sick. Right. Right. But by the time she gets home,
9:26
she don't care. She That was Exactly. Well, and if you've been, you know, if you've been making shoes all day, I'm
9:34
not making you a pair of shoes, too. It's just not happening. You know, if you're a cleaner, your
9:40
house is probably going to be the dirtiest. The last thing you want to do is go home and clean your own house after cleaning everybody else's houses.
9:47
This one is number six is interesting. I I sort of like this. I'm not sure I completely understand it, but
9:58
So, the devil knows more because he is old than because he is the devil. I get that one. That means you can't
10:04
compete with the value of experience. It means that he's he's not e it
10:09
his his evil knowledge or whatever. He's it's not because he's the devil. It's because
10:16
he has the the he's jaded from years of experience. Right. So you think a person that isn't the
10:22
devil with his age would be equally evil of knowledge would have the amount of evil knowledge that he has.
10:28
Right. Well, I guess you could say it's almost like you could look at it like, you know, do you want to go to a young
10:34
doctor or an old doctor? They're both doctors, right? So, do you want to go to the doctor with
10:39
experience or do you want to go to the the fresh newbie wet behind the ears
10:45
hacking into your organs for the first time? I want to go to Yeah, I think I think we can all maybe
10:52
agree that we didn't really want the devil to have that much knowledge anyway. Right. Right.
10:57
Okay. Number seven. Number seven is Seu
11:02
Sevilla Perio Susia. Whoever went to Sevilla lost his chair.
11:09
So that's his keepers loses weepers. And I think what's funny about this one is I was like, what does Sevilla do? Like
11:15
what? Like but the only reason what do they have to do with it? Well, it rhymes with Seia. So Sevilla Sea. So that's why
11:23
that's why Sevilla was picked. I don't think they did anything in particular to end up in this um proverb. But
11:28
so they're not just stealing chairs in Sevilla cuz I thought maybe people went to Sevilla
11:34
for some reason and then had their chest, you know, and then something happened. But it has nothing to do with poor Sevilla. It just ended up there cuz
11:41
they had the right name. So our next one is in Valenciano. So let's hear your Valenciano.
11:47
Let's give it a shot. This is going to be it it more horrible than the Spanish one. So number eight eldas
11:59
it kind of rhymes. Sure. Yeah. And go for it.
12:05
I I love what it means. This I think was money and and money and a male genitalia
12:12
for all occasions. Yes. So it means to you know seize the day.
12:18
Enjoy enjoy what you enjoy all the lives and passions as you receive them because
12:24
you don't know if you're going to get them. So give give you all the money and passion. We'll just we'll say it means
12:29
passion. It's about prosperity and passion. There you go. That's the clean way of saying it.
12:35
Yes. Too funny. Um number nine.
12:41
Number nine. Yeah. Uh no.
12:47
All right. Let me try that again. People,
12:52
there is no evil from which good does not come. I like that one as kind of a life lesson because often when something bad
12:58
happens, you're just like gh, you know, and sometimes in life when you look back at things, you can see some little
13:05
kernels of positive things that come from those times. And it's good to remember that when it's happening,
13:11
you know, it's one of those, you know, a lesson learned kind of thing. And then, you know, and then sometimes, I don't
13:16
know about you, sometimes I'm done learning lessons. So, that's kind of my theory. I think am I not old enough to not be learning any
13:22
more lessons? But do you believe that we just keep just keep learning lessons as
13:28
we as we get older and older and older? So, yeah. Um, try and learn your lessons, everybody. Then maybe you won't get so
13:35
many. You're right. [Music]
13:40
Number [Music]
13:46
10 for number 10. Yeah. Um,
13:54
what the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel. So that one, if we don't see something,
14:01
we tend to forget that it exists. And so it doesn't hurt. So it doesn't hurt if you lose it. It's kind of like you need
14:07
to if you need to keep things in the forefront if you want to care about them because otherwise those things will
14:13
disappear. And in a way I have I remember when my parents moved out of a house that that I had grown up in and my
14:20
mom would call me and say, "I found this thing of yours. Do you want it?" And I was like, "Well, I didn't
14:25
but now I do." Right. So you have two options. You can call me about everything you find or you can
14:32
just get rid of everything you find cuz I have no idea what's there.
14:37
Oh, can I just a little side note on that? I had going through I just the other day I was going through the phone
14:43
and I I had taken pictures of well one I was selling so much stuff and getting rid of stuff and
14:52
yeah for the stuff before we moved here. So I take all these pictures of stuff going on
14:57
on marketplace and all that stuff. And then I also took pictures of things. I'm like, I'm getting rid of it, but I want
15:02
to take a picture of it so I know of what I had. And I was going through that and it's exactly it. I was like, oh, I
15:09
missed that thing. Why did I get rid of that? Oh, so bad idea to take it from me, I guess.
15:14
But also at the same time, it's gone. And I really don't miss it the next day. Do you know what I mean? After my
15:20
reminiscence of it. So, speaking of lessons learned, are you happy you took the pictures or not?
15:26
I am happy because you know it's nice to know the things you had and I don't
15:31
really need those possessions but it was like how did that get how did that make it into the bin the the go bin and not
15:38
the move bin right right right well the decisions I mean I don't know about you but when we were moving I mean we were I was making
15:44
brutal decisions I did I think I want to say three purges like I did one where I
15:50
got rid of the obvious things and then I was like we still have too much and then I did another purge purge and I got and
15:56
every time I did a new purge I was getting better at it. And so by the
16:02
third one I had really got down to like you know getting rid of things that I
16:07
really knew in my heart I didn't need to move with but I sort of was like maybe I'll keep it you know and by the third
16:12
time I'm just like it's just I'm just brutal like just cut and go like
16:18
the first one was I now that I look back the first project that I did was a little pathetic and not very useful.
16:26
So, there's some advice. When you're moving, plan on doing a few purges. Don't leave it all to the last minute. Kind of get the easy things out and then
16:32
and then move on and maybe take some pictures so that you have them for for prosperity and that's it, you know.
16:39
Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Okay. What number were we? We moved. We're now we're at 11.
16:44
Number 11. Uh Ce
16:49
Leant Leante oo. Okay. We have similar versions of that,
16:55
I think. Yeah. So, it's if you fall seven times, get up uh for the eighth time.
17:01
Yeah. Keep trying. Keep going. Keep going. Keep trying. Yeah. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Um that's very specific. So,
17:08
number 12. Um much
17:15
the one that embraces a lot can't keep it together. Now, I love the actual
17:20
direct translation of this because it sounds it's kind of sounds like if you're too affectionate, you're just
17:26
like not you're just like you're one of those needy people. Yeah. Right. You're just like you're not
17:32
you're not kind of and this might be a very British side of me, which is like people that are way way way too
17:37
affectionate all the time. I feel like you're doing that to everybody. You're not being very specific and maybe it
17:43
means less. I'm sure that's not the case for people that are doing that. They're just very affectionate to a lot of people and they like doing that. But
17:50
from a British point of view, it seems more like you haven't chosen who to be affectionate towards,
17:55
right? Does that make sense? Because you you Yes. Because you British people are so known for your affection, right? So to me, when some if you're
18:02
going to be affectionate, it means something because I've, you know, that's a special thing. But that isn't even what this is about. This is about don't
18:09
bite off more than you can chew. So it's not even about what I thought it was about,
18:15
right? So, don't bite off more than you can chew.
18:20
And for in my Italian way, looking at the the little translation, I'm like insulted by it because I'm like, "What
18:26
do you mean someone who hugs a lot can't keep it together?" Because we're a huggy family and over here, you know, we're
18:32
not So, yeah. So, it's interesting, isn't it? It's like the the I think the direct
18:38
translation is an extremely interesting um proverb in a way because it can mean a lot of different things to a lot of
18:44
different people. Mhm. Yeah. Numero 130. So there
18:52
it's not really 130. So don't be counting that way.
18:58
You're doing so well on your Spanish. You have to mess it up on the numbers just to be funny. I love it. Okay. 130.
19:04
130. Zapato. Asus zapatos. I like that. Shoemaker to his shoes. Um it basically
19:12
means you should stick to what you know. Yes. But I love that there's quite a lot of um shoe proverbs.
19:20
Yes, we've Yeah. Well, we they are important shoes. They are important and they mean a lot.
19:25
So, yes, keep to your keep to your lane. If you know shoes, keep to your shoes.
19:33
And this one's weird. And this is also about shoes. Number 14. Kuno sabrieta
19:40
elato. Everyone knows where to squeeze the shoe. Five. I'll give you 500 guesses of
19:46
what that means and you still won't get it right. I don't know. Everyone knows where to squeeze. I don't I've never squeezed my
19:53
shoes. It's not the Charmin. I've squeezed my Charmin before, but never But never your shoes.
19:59
But never my shoes. So this I don't know how this relates. Um but each person knows their own
20:05
limitations, problems, and what's best for themselves. So, where do you squeeze shoes?
20:12
What's best for you is what this translates to. And yet, but we're squeezing the shoe. Okay.
20:18
Do you squeeze shoes to make them more comfortable when you're walking? Maybe. And maybe you know where to squeeze your
20:23
shoes to make them more comfortable perhaps back when they were really made of like nice leather and maybe not so
20:29
comfortable in certain areas of the foot. No idea.
20:35
Yeah, but that would be stretching the shoe, not squeezing. I don't know what that means. So, you know, any Spaniard.
20:40
I I do want to do number 15 because this was my absolute favorite. So, I'm gonna ask if we can skip the alternating and
20:47
let me do this one because it's so cute. You are You are so needy. You are so
20:53
someone who embraces a lot. Can't keep it together. So, I know. And I could have organized them better and made this one land on me, but
21:00
it didn't happen. Thank you for Thank you for letting me change this up. Number 15,
21:12
which means the shrimp that sleeps is taken by the current. And I think that's so cute.
21:18
That is cute. That does bring an image to your head of if you snooze, you lose. Right.
21:24
Right. I think it does. So, you can't don't be snoozing on a on a current. You will get taken out to sea.
21:32
Um, no one should ever sleep in the water. I mean, I think that I think that's a very good advice. I
21:38
just love how like we're already sort of seeing a pattern of the different types of like animals and things that that
21:45
kind of come into Spanish proverbs um as opposed to English ones. I don't think we have any proverbs about shrimp.
21:53
So, I don't understand this one. The next one. Um, okay. Las pilas. When I say las pilas,
22:02
it means to put the batteries in. But I don't understand. So, literally, this means like you
22:08
probably are are looking like very absent- minded and not focused and you need to put the batteries in and jazz it
22:13
up a little bit like like drink a cup of coffee like get it together. Ah, get your energy up. Oh, now I get
22:20
it. Ah, yes. Yes. All right. Yeah. Oh, I can like yell
22:26
that in the morning while I'm trying to get these these children out of the house to the bus stop. This is a great Yeah, this is a great
22:33
one for kids. Yeah. All right. All right. Oh, that's going to be great.
22:39
I think you could use this several times a day to get your kids going. Oh, like several times an hour or
22:45
something, right? Don't you think? I think that's I mean that's one of those ones that I just I imagine the the Spanish grandma
22:53
like screaming at the little kids that are you know not getting things done. Um
23:00
number 17. Okay. So number 17 is um are you going
23:06
to you know I'm going to do it because you did two in a row. I want to I want my time in the sun.
23:12
Oh you're so jealous. So for ablondo. So here we ablondo del
23:21
re do droma. Nice. Speaking of the king of Rome.
23:26
So that means speak of the devil which I I love this cuz I mean I love this better than speak of the devil. And I'm going to be using this
23:33
forever. It's so much more like oomphy. I think
23:39
you know speaking of the king of Rome. Well, I mean, Rome did like conquer the,
23:45
you know, the the ancient world, right? Yeah. And what did the devil ever do? Exactly. And the devil's just a figment
23:52
of the imagination. Like the king of Rome really existed. You know what I mean? Right. That's true. Yeah. I love that. And this next one,
23:58
I know this one is your favorite. Thank you for take Thank you in advance for taking the other one because now I'm going to do this one. These were my two
24:04
favorite. The one about the shrimp and this one are my two favorites. Uh well, actually the next one, too. So I I have
24:11
a bunch, but let's you know from the top number 18 um la
24:18
desto to think of yourself as the last Coca-Cola in the desert which I is you
24:24
just know exactly what that means. So it means you like you think you're the isn't you think you're the queen of
24:29
Shiva basically right? Yes. The queen of Shiva. Yeah. And it makes sense and I can imagine there's
24:36
something you know you I mean that's one that completely makes sense and I think it's a a cute little uh proper up there.
24:43
Very cute. Yeah, I like that one as well. So number 19,
24:49
Feliz Ko una lumbres. Did I pronounce that right? Feliz una
24:55
lumbre. Happy like a worm. Happy as a clam basically is what that means, you know.
25:02
Yeah, that's basically the same except that Feliz and Lombre they they rhyme. So they have their version of it rhyming
25:09
which is why that one makes sense. So this is kind of like the Sevilla one. Like the only reason why they picked a worm is because it rhymes with Phel
25:15
Cuz it because it rolls off the tongue better. It does. It It's cute and it rolls and now you're thinking of a a cute I mean
25:21
because I mean a clam's happy, a worm's happy. I don't know that any of these animals are like have a reason to be the
25:28
happiest thing on Earth, but they have now. Well, I don't think they have brains. So, if you don't have a brain, you're probably pretty happy.
25:34
That's probably true. Can't stress about anything. So, you're like, "Right, they're not paying taxes." You
25:39
know what I mean? Kind of like our dog. I see those memes all the time. It's like, yeah, there's nothing like the the sigh of a of a dog
25:47
that's going to sleep with no stress, no taxes, food in the bowl, water in the bowl.
25:53
And dogs do make a big sigh, don't they? They make they make a whole show of going to their last breath before they
26:00
go to sleep. It's a like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders and you're looking at them while you're like working and
26:06
researching and doing all this stuff and paying your bills and you're like really right when you're crying,
26:13
right? And your dog is signing who just ate a whole like bowl of delicious food
26:19
and then got a treat afterwards. Yes. Right. Okay. The very last one, number 20. Um,
26:26
there are more. So, we will probably be doing this again. And these are I think we should we should do these.
26:33
Yes, I think we should do these again because this it's fun, you know. I mean, we're no language experts, but we can we
26:39
can pretend to pepper our podcasts with some other kinds of practical knowledge.
26:44
Yeah. And this one, I think, is a good one to to land on at the very end because I think we've all experienced
26:50
this. Um, toos.
26:55
There are stupid days and people who are stupid every day. Yes. I don't think we need to explain that.
27:02
No, not us. We're not not us and not you who are listening because you're listening to us. So you're not
27:08
stupid. You so smart. So So we're talking about everybody else. Everybody else.
27:15
So that was 20 of the funny and silly proverbs that we found. And like I said,
27:21
we did find more and we there are also sort of sayings and things that are slightly different um from proverbs.
27:27
And then there's like the idiomatic phrases and stuff. So we'll have to do maybe we'll do one on idiomatic phrases
27:32
and in in some time you know we're not going to tell you when. We got to keep you on your toes.
27:38
Absolutely. But we will sprinkle in some fun things like this along with the well this is sort of educational and fun and
27:44
then the other stuff where we talk about our experiences and it's all little mish
27:50
mash of information. Yeah. Yeah. I have to I have something I I wanted to tell you and um I I forgot
27:58
to tell you the story. So, speaking of experiences, so this is totally a side note on this this whole thing and I
28:05
guess maybe it's a double a Spain. I don't know, but last night I went to the kebab shop around the corner
28:11
and I've we go there a lot cuz in the summer uh the kitchen's closed. Uh Shake
28:16
It is not open for business. No, it's too hot. Is this one of those kebab shops that
28:22
does kebabs, pizza, hot dogs, um hamburgers, or is it an actual kebab shop?
28:27
They do. They don't do the pizza. They only do kebab, but they do have like samosas and croettes. They have like the
28:33
fried and they do do a h They do do a hamburger, but it's not like the it's not the frozen pizza. And it's really
28:40
really good. And if I knew the name, I would totally give them a a a shout out, but I don't know the name of the job. I
28:45
just know it's the one on the corner. But we've been going there a lot this summer because like I said, the
28:51
kitchen's closed. And so I know the owner and whenever he's always like, "Hey, how are you?" And there was
28:57
another foreigner in the shop and he was like, "Oh, I want to introduce you to another foreigner." Because, you know,
29:03
all of us foreigners need to know each other. And so, this very nice Brazilian man and I were talking and then his wife
29:09
came into the shop. And I don't know where the conversation led, but they were talking about how
29:15
they had moved here a year ago. I'd been here two years. I was talking about my Oh, yes. I moved here with my my
29:21
daughters. And the the the woman, um, Marisol is her name. She goes, "Are you
29:27
the one that does the podcast?" No. Yeah. Did you Did you get recognized?
29:34
I got recognized. And she goes, "You do it with you do it with the the woman." I was like, "Yeah, I felt, you know, we
29:42
got to pat ourselves on the back. We are like local celebrities now." I was I was It was such a random little thing.
29:50
I thought she might have recognized your voice, but it was more the story, I guess.
29:55
Yeah. I mean, I guess she didn't say anything. Then I had some shrill voice that she recognized there.
30:01
She recognized Yeah. the background. And I was like, "O." So that's really cool. I have to say, I
30:08
mean, we can see the numbers and, you know, we're we're on our 30 something
30:14
episode. I'm sure what number this one's going to be. 36 or 37, something like that. Yeah. So, you know, we're like, it's
30:20
exciting for us to be doing that, but it's like super exciting for somebody to actually to actually meet someone that's
30:26
