The Heatwave and Water Scarcity
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey, how's it going people?
00:00:01
Speaker
It's Salman Qureshi and you're listening to the Expat Brad Podcast and I am feeling good because it's almost the end of August and I was looking at the weather report.
00:00:14
Speaker
As soon as I said it, I'm like, well, how bored am I?
00:00:20
Speaker
And it's good, though, because I saw a couple of days where the temperature is falling below a high of 40.
00:00:28
Speaker
So it's like it says 39.
00:00:31
Speaker
And I was like, this is good, right?
00:00:33
Speaker
This is good.
00:00:34
Speaker
We're finally over 40.
00:00:36
Speaker
Like the heat wave that's killing us.
00:00:39
Speaker
Every time I step out, I feel like one of my internal organs have probably like dried up.
00:00:46
Speaker
I haven't had this much water and I worry because
Corporate Greed and Water Resources
00:00:51
Speaker
you think about the world and everything and you kind of go, hey man, like water is going to be a big problem.
00:00:59
Speaker
We're too many people.
00:01:01
Speaker
There's just too many, too many of us.
00:01:03
Speaker
I know.
00:01:04
Speaker
And this is and this is why it annoys me.
00:01:07
Speaker
The Earth is what is three fourths water or one or two thirds water.
00:01:13
Speaker
What is it?
00:01:13
Speaker
One of these two.
00:01:14
Speaker
Right.
00:01:15
Speaker
God, I used to be great at geography and all these kind of things.
00:01:20
Speaker
Now it's all fading memory.
00:01:24
Speaker
Maybe it's a lack of water.
00:01:26
Speaker
So we have all this water, the whole world, right?
00:01:28
Speaker
Like just water.
00:01:31
Speaker
The oceans are bigger than the content.
00:01:33
Speaker
We have more water than we have land, right?
00:01:36
Speaker
Everybody knows that.
00:01:37
Speaker
And yet we're talking about like we're running out of water.
00:01:41
Speaker
If something doesn't add up, I know what they mean.
00:01:47
Speaker
I know like usable, drinkable water.
00:01:50
Speaker
That's what we're talking about.
00:01:51
Speaker
I get it.
00:01:52
Speaker
I get that.
00:01:53
Speaker
It's because of these companies, bottled water and stuff, fighting over selling water and putting it in plastic bottles so that we don't actually have water anymore and they're controlling this basic resource.
00:02:10
Speaker
And we can't do anything about it.
00:02:14
Speaker
I like that people are fighting it and worry about it.
00:02:18
Speaker
And I'm just sitting here thinking, hey, man, there is no way
00:02:22
Speaker
I can do anything against Coca-Cola or Pepsi because all these companies, they're just, you know, they control.
00:02:29
Speaker
They have so much money.
00:02:31
Speaker
They're richer than countries, you know.
00:02:36
Speaker
And these people, they want to make money.
00:02:39
Speaker
They're not satisfied.
00:02:40
Speaker
They're like endless...
00:02:42
Speaker
like just devouring
Personal Accountability and Government Role
00:02:45
Speaker
like it's just i don't know what to compare it to like it's it's like a worm that's just slowly like a snake have you ever seen a snake swallow uh like a rat a mouse mouse right that's what they they swallow and then the mouse like you could see it being swallowed down the snake uh
00:03:06
Speaker
It's not the perfect visualization, but that's how I just see them just swallowing up everything.
00:03:12
Speaker
And except the difference is they go, you know, a snake, it'll have that mouse.
00:03:17
Speaker
And then I think it doesn't eat for like ever, right?
00:03:19
Speaker
Because it's digesting that mouse inside.
00:03:24
Speaker
So horrific.
00:03:26
Speaker
But not Coke.
00:03:28
Speaker
But not these companies.
00:03:30
Speaker
They go and they swallow and then they go, we want another mouse.
00:03:35
Speaker
And so they go ahead and they swallow some more and then they go, we need one more.
00:03:40
Speaker
It's like an endless bottomless pit that they are.
00:03:45
Speaker
And that's what's happening.
00:03:47
Speaker
So now.
Technology and Seawater Desalination
00:03:49
Speaker
So now water is controlled by these companies.
00:03:52
Speaker
I have a bottle in front of me.
00:03:53
Speaker
Hey, I'm a victim.
00:03:55
Speaker
I contribute to this problem.
00:03:58
Speaker
I have the Coca-Cola.
00:04:00
Speaker
I have this water bottle.
00:04:01
Speaker
And at the bottom of it, it says the Coca-Cola company.
00:04:05
Speaker
It's something.
00:04:06
Speaker
I know it now for years.
00:04:07
Speaker
But when it first came out, I didn't realize that Pepsi and Coke, these companies have gone into water, man.
00:04:14
Speaker
Because we're all wisening up to the sugar shit they sell us.
00:04:18
Speaker
The youngsters are not into it.
00:04:20
Speaker
I'm an addict, right?
00:04:22
Speaker
So they've got me for life.
00:04:26
Speaker
I'm in it.
00:04:27
Speaker
I'm in it to win it.
00:04:30
Speaker
I'll never stop drinking it, I think, at this point.
00:04:34
Speaker
Anyway, I'm a good customer.
00:04:36
Speaker
I'm slagging them off on this podcast, but I'm a good customer.
00:04:41
Speaker
They got my money.
00:04:42
Speaker
My water is, you know, it's coming from them.
00:04:45
Speaker
I'm buying it from them.
00:04:46
Speaker
I don't have access to normal water.
00:04:49
Speaker
And governments let it happen.
00:04:52
Speaker
And it's crazy.
00:04:53
Speaker
How are we in this situation?
00:04:56
Speaker
I see other things.
00:04:57
Speaker
I'm like, I get it, man.
00:04:58
Speaker
Resources, whatever, artificial, whatever way they've done it.
00:05:02
Speaker
Like the diamond thing, right?
00:05:04
Speaker
I can't believe we still buy diamond after the whole Internet has gone ahead and told us
00:05:11
Speaker
the whole fake situation around diamonds being controlled by one company, artificially raising prices.
00:05:19
Speaker
And they're the ones who created this concept of like buying diamonds and diamonds are forever.
00:05:23
Speaker
And it's part of your engagement thing.
00:05:25
Speaker
It's all there.
00:05:26
Speaker
It's all everybody knows it, but we're still doing it.
00:05:29
Speaker
You know, I have heard young, like the newer generation tends to buy less,
00:05:35
Speaker
But they're still doing it.
00:05:37
Speaker
You know, I still see diamonds everywhere.
00:05:39
Speaker
It's still a thing.
00:05:40
Speaker
And and that's crazy.
00:05:43
Speaker
So we're aware, but we we don't care.
00:05:49
Speaker
Aware, but we don't care.
00:05:51
Speaker
We'll go turn this into a rap song at some point.
00:05:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker
So, so, you know, that that's that's the problem.
00:05:58
Speaker
Like we just it's all these situations around and everything's happening and and no one cares and we keep going on with the same thing.
00:06:05
Speaker
So this water, right?
00:06:08
Speaker
I'm just like
Potential Water Wars
00:06:09
Speaker
how hard we have enough money and technology at this point.
00:06:13
Speaker
I can't believe that we don't to like they say it's like expensive to desalinate water and make it drinkable.
00:06:21
Speaker
And I'm like,
00:06:22
Speaker
It can't be worse than the money we spend on bombs and armies and stuff.
00:06:29
Speaker
It's true.
00:06:30
Speaker
And we just let's take that money away from creating the next bomb, the nuclear bombs, the amount of money some of the biggest countries spend on arms.
00:06:43
Speaker
It's insane.
00:06:44
Speaker
You know, we're talking about I don't know what is what's America.
00:06:46
Speaker
It's like a trillion dollars or whatever at this point.
00:06:50
Speaker
And just put it into water.
00:06:55
Speaker
Let's spend all that money on making sure a lot of the water is drinkable.
00:07:03
Speaker
And then we got fresh water.
00:07:05
Speaker
And then let's spend some more money to make sure we keep it clean so we're not dumping stuff into it.
00:07:10
Speaker
Right?
00:07:11
Speaker
Just that.
00:07:12
Speaker
And then we won't have this next, you know, one of my uncles, I keep saying this, one of my uncles who passed away, he always said the next war, it's going to be on water.
00:07:22
Speaker
And everyone used to laugh at it.
00:07:23
Speaker
But yeah, it's like, of course.
00:07:29
Speaker
And it is happening in places.
00:07:31
Speaker
I don't know about a lot of other countries, but I do know in India and Pakistan, the whole Kashmir issue, Kashmir, like I say, like a white person, a lot of it is based on water as well.
00:07:46
Speaker
Because, you know, all the rivers, they kind of originate there and the fresh water comes down.
00:07:50
Speaker
So if you control that, you control the water supply.
00:07:53
Speaker
for your country.
00:07:54
Speaker
And this is a big problem for Pakistan and India, right?
00:07:57
Speaker
Like you don't want to.
00:07:59
Speaker
They don't get along.
00:08:00
Speaker
The two countries don't get along.
00:08:01
Speaker
So this water thing,
Productivity and Personal Goals
00:08:02
Speaker
you do not want to give up control to the other country in regards to this.
00:08:09
Speaker
And here we are.
00:08:10
Speaker
And that's the situation.
00:08:12
Speaker
So if we just create a technology and we could just suck up some of the ocean water, keep it clean, do it on the cheap, make it cheaper, right?
00:08:21
Speaker
Fund it somehow.
00:08:22
Speaker
I don't know.
00:08:23
Speaker
There's got to be an easier answer than this, man, if I'm thinking of it.
00:08:27
Speaker
They just don't want it to happen.
00:08:29
Speaker
because they make money off us with these bottled waters and getting us addicted to it now.
00:08:33
Speaker
And now we just assume that's what we got to get our water from.
00:08:37
Speaker
Right.
00:08:38
Speaker
That wasn't the case before, not in Western countries particularly.
00:08:43
Speaker
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
00:08:44
Speaker
Modern life.
00:08:45
Speaker
Welcome to modern life.
00:08:46
Speaker
Why am I?
00:08:48
Speaker
I just said I'm happier.
00:08:49
Speaker
And on the other hand, we've got all this, like, you know, the world's mucking about.
00:08:58
Speaker
I heard something yesterday about California.
00:09:02
Speaker
is about to be hit with a cyclone or something.
00:09:05
Speaker
And the amount of water that's going to like crash into it, it's like a year's worth of rain that California normally experiences.
00:09:13
Speaker
So we've got all that stuff going on too.
00:09:15
Speaker
I just, let's stand there with buckets.
00:09:21
Speaker
Stand there with some buckets and just just catch some of that water.
00:09:25
Speaker
It might be good, right?
00:09:26
Speaker
I don't know.
00:09:26
Speaker
No, it's not rainwater.
00:09:28
Speaker
Hell, even our rainwater shit, right?
00:09:29
Speaker
Like when I was a kid, I heard about acid rain.
00:09:33
Speaker
I was like, is that how did we get there?
00:09:36
Speaker
Like I was a kid and I knew that I was like, this is there's some messed up stuff.
00:09:40
Speaker
All right.
00:09:41
Speaker
Oh, but it's end of summer, people.
00:09:42
Speaker
And I'm I'm kind of dreading going back into the full swing of of everything.
00:09:49
Speaker
But I'm also excited because it makes me money.
00:09:52
Speaker
I need that stuff.
00:09:54
Speaker
to get going into that.
00:09:56
Speaker
And I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.
00:09:58
Speaker
It's going to be cool.
Struggles with Meditation and Visualization
00:10:00
Speaker
But it has been an interesting month for me because I've kind of like I spent a whole month almost now and it will be a month by the time my family comes back.
00:10:10
Speaker
Right.
00:10:10
Speaker
So they've been away for a month and I've had
00:10:14
Speaker
I've had too much time with my thoughts and it's scary.
00:10:19
Speaker
And there are a couple of things I've learned about myself.
00:10:22
Speaker
I don't know if I talked about this in my previous episode, but
00:10:27
Speaker
One of the things I realized was like, you know, you want to blame things on other people.
00:10:32
Speaker
You want to go, hey, I can't do that because I'm busy.
00:10:36
Speaker
I got my kid.
00:10:37
Speaker
I got to spend some time with the family, this, that, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:42
Speaker
And when they're going to be away for that one month, I'm going to be so productive about the things that are important to me and make sure they're on track.
00:10:52
Speaker
And it's been a month that I've realized, nope,
00:10:57
Speaker
Nope, that's not, it's not true.
00:11:00
Speaker
I am, they're not the reason.
00:11:03
Speaker
It's me.
00:11:04
Speaker
I have excuses I'm making and I had these strong goals of like how much to do.
00:11:13
Speaker
Some of it is also like, you're like, oh, this takes up a lot more time than I thought it would.
00:11:18
Speaker
And, yeah, but I got to be honest with myself.
00:11:23
Speaker
Like the social media goals I had and everything, I was like, I didn't do it.
00:11:29
Speaker
You know what I was good about, though, in this one month was into the habit of working out every day.
00:11:35
Speaker
And I feel good about that.
00:11:38
Speaker
I think...
00:11:39
Speaker
I managed to lose a kilo in a month.
00:11:42
Speaker
Is that good or bad?
00:11:43
Speaker
I think it's bad considering I'm working out nearly every day and I haven't been eating out.
00:11:50
Speaker
And generally, I think my diet's been decently well.
00:11:55
Speaker
So maybe a kilo is not great, but at least it's something.
00:12:00
Speaker
Take the win, man.
00:12:01
Speaker
Take the win, Salman.
00:12:02
Speaker
Stop criticizing.
00:12:05
Speaker
Oh, dear God.
00:12:06
Speaker
Like, wow.
00:12:07
Speaker
But yeah, so there's one that was a good bit.
00:12:10
Speaker
Everything else I like completely failed at.
00:12:16
Speaker
Maybe I'm just always overambitious, you know, and this is this brings me to this.
00:12:21
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:12:21
Speaker
So so this is the thing that's bothering me right now.
00:12:26
Speaker
I, like everybody always keeps talking about like visualize your goals and future.
00:12:32
Speaker
And also another good thing that I have been doing, but this was before my family left.
00:12:38
Speaker
I've been trying to meditate, get into meditation.
Exploring Aphantasia
00:12:41
Speaker
I've been trying to meditate and I do five to 10 minutes a day at least most days.
00:12:49
Speaker
And it's cool.
00:12:50
Speaker
I think it helps me a lot with my ADHD and just general calmness, just focusing.
00:12:57
Speaker
I like it.
00:12:58
Speaker
I actually am getting right into it.
00:13:00
Speaker
It's very cool.
00:13:02
Speaker
But there was one meditation I was doing earlier, just yesterday, and they asked me to close my eyes and think of a purple flower.
00:13:14
Speaker
and just focus on that.
00:13:15
Speaker
It was a meditation on focus, right?
00:13:17
Speaker
So I'm trying to focus on this purple flower.
00:13:20
Speaker
And I realized I can't picture it clearly.
00:13:24
Speaker
And it kind of bothered me.
00:13:26
Speaker
And I was like, wait, why is this purple flower kind of not really purple?
00:13:33
Speaker
It kind of fluctuated in my mind.
00:13:34
Speaker
Like it would go from purple to like gray, white, and the shape of it wasn't clear.
00:13:40
Speaker
Like I had to fight it.
00:13:41
Speaker
And I had these like flashes
00:13:44
Speaker
of like, you know, you know how you kind of go like flat, not lightning, like just flashes like in film or something, like a negative.
00:13:53
Speaker
And it would fluctuate between that.
00:13:55
Speaker
So now I wasn't just focusing on the flower.
00:13:58
Speaker
My focus went into trying to create and maintain the picture of this purple flower.
00:14:06
Speaker
And when it ended,
00:14:08
Speaker
I kind of went, there's something wrong here, right?
00:14:10
Speaker
Like the way the guy described it, what do you call them, a yogi or whatever?
00:14:17
Speaker
And how easy he seemed.
00:14:23
Speaker
I assumed most people can do it easily.
00:14:26
Speaker
They get that flower in their head and they have that visual.
00:14:29
Speaker
And even that flower, do you, so here's a question for you, for my listeners, do you, when you visualize
00:14:37
Speaker
Do you like, is it like a real flower?
00:14:41
Speaker
Are you trying to create a flower?
00:14:43
Speaker
Like, what is it?
00:14:44
Speaker
Right?
00:14:44
Speaker
So it's a couple of questions like raised in my head.
00:14:47
Speaker
And I guess the meditation didn't do what it was supposed to do.
00:14:51
Speaker
And it sent me off on this whole other tangent of worrying.
00:14:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:57
Speaker
Meditation calms me down.
00:14:59
Speaker
I guess it doesn't.
00:15:00
Speaker
And so now, so now I'm like sitting there thinking, okay, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
00:15:10
Speaker
What is this situation?
00:15:13
Speaker
And most people say go to a doctor, but I went to Google because I'm that kind of person.
00:15:19
Speaker
I go on Google.
00:15:20
Speaker
I'm like searching this.
00:15:21
Speaker
I can't visualize clearly what is it.
00:15:24
Speaker
And apparently there's a condition called aphantasia.
00:15:31
Speaker
And it's the inability to visualize.
00:15:33
Speaker
All right.
00:15:34
Speaker
So just a heads up.
00:15:36
Speaker
I don't have that.
00:15:37
Speaker
I don't think it's that.
00:15:37
Speaker
I did some online tests.
00:15:40
Speaker
And you should check it out.
00:15:41
Speaker
Like, just do it.
00:15:42
Speaker
Right.
00:15:42
Speaker
So I go online and I'm like looking at this one simple one.
00:15:47
Speaker
It asks you to visualize like a red star in your head.
00:15:50
Speaker
And then you compare it to like a bunch of they have like a bunch of pictures and they're like, what which range did you visualize it in?
00:15:56
Speaker
And then tell it like it's the most simple test, straight, quick test you can do.
00:16:02
Speaker
There's no real.
00:16:04
Speaker
diagnosis for it because people are just still studying it and so you can't really tell it's it's subjective and the but the most clear one that i didn't know i i don't have aphantasia is apparently you can't visualize anything at all it's like a blank and those people they're like three four percent of the people walking amongst us when you ask them to visualize something they visualize the idea of it the word or i don't know something along those lines and i think i kind of fluctuate a little bit towards it
00:16:34
Speaker
But they can't.
00:16:35
Speaker
It's like a blank for them.
00:16:36
Speaker
And I was like, holy wow.
00:16:39
Speaker
They have no idea that the rest of humanity is just closing their eyes and taking themselves to a nice, like imagine.
00:16:50
Speaker
These people stuck in traffic, I feel bad, right?
00:16:52
Speaker
Like if you were in standstill traffic and you just tell yourself, I'm just going to visualize being at the beach or somewhere nice and that's where they are, right?
00:17:02
Speaker
Your mental image helps a lot in tricking.
00:17:04
Speaker
Your brain can trick you and trick your emotions.
00:17:09
Speaker
But these people are sitting there going, they close, they visualize and they're like, nope, still stuck in traffic.
00:17:15
Speaker
Ha, ha, ha.
00:17:16
Speaker
Ha, ha.
00:17:18
Speaker
Poor guys.
00:17:20
Speaker
So there they are.
00:17:22
Speaker
And I was looking at and that's crazy.
00:17:24
Speaker
So there's something I wonder what level everybody does.
00:17:28
Speaker
Now, clearly, I'm not a good visualizer, too, because, you know, it was just like it was on the weaker side and I struggle with it.
00:17:36
Speaker
And that was interesting.
00:17:37
Speaker
So there you go.
00:17:38
Speaker
There's there's a condition called aphantasia.
00:17:41
Speaker
I don't fall in that.
00:17:42
Speaker
I call I fall into fantasia.
00:17:47
Speaker
And now this isn't a this isn't so far classified as a what do you call it?
00:17:52
Speaker
Mental disorder or something because people don't have a problem living their life and adjusting and stuff.
00:17:58
Speaker
They have careers, even in stuff like storytelling.
00:18:02
Speaker
It's not to do with your imagination.
00:18:04
Speaker
So you can still be a writer, an artist and whatever.
00:18:07
Speaker
You just don't have this ability.
00:18:10
Speaker
And apparently you can dream as well.
00:18:11
Speaker
Although even my dreams aren't that clear.
00:18:14
Speaker
I don't remember.
00:18:15
Speaker
as much as other people claim they do.
00:18:17
Speaker
So that's interesting to me.
00:18:19
Speaker
I can't think there must be some benefits as well, right?
00:18:21
Speaker
Like you're the person, you know, when your friends like describing their dream vacation and they're just being on it and, and, you know, some of us will picture it and be jealous, but the guy with aphantasia, you'd just be sitting there going, they can't relate at all.
00:18:38
Speaker
So they'll ask the fun stuff that was like, so how much did you spend on sunscreen?
00:18:45
Speaker
And not feel miserable.
00:18:48
Speaker
So that's cool.
00:18:51
Speaker
Yeah, there must be some struggles too,
Upcoming Trip to Beirut
00:18:53
Speaker
obviously.
00:18:53
Speaker
Like, you know, I just trying to do guided meditation for me.
00:19:00
Speaker
And it just like I'm thinking about my grocery shopping or something the whole time.
00:19:04
Speaker
It's it's a and unfortunately it doesn't work with sound or something.
00:19:09
Speaker
Right.
00:19:10
Speaker
So contrary to popular belief, aphantasia doesn't mean you're immune to earworms.
00:19:17
Speaker
You can still have baby sharks stuck in your head for days.
00:19:20
Speaker
You know.
00:19:21
Speaker
So, yeah, I have that.
00:19:23
Speaker
It's it's not something that I I've seen in popular culture enough.
00:19:28
Speaker
And I don't know.
00:19:30
Speaker
I don't know.
00:19:31
Speaker
They must be good at describing stuff or whatever.
00:19:34
Speaker
But for me, this was super interesting.
00:19:37
Speaker
I'd like you guys to try to and figure out where on the scale you said you Google that stuff, you'll find the red star test for a Fantasia.
00:19:46
Speaker
And I'm just curious, like I've sent it out to all my friends and family just gone.
00:19:50
Speaker
Tell me if you see this.
00:19:53
Speaker
What's going on here?
00:19:55
Speaker
There you go.
00:19:56
Speaker
I've managed to educate some of us on something I just learned.
00:20:00
Speaker
I went down the rabbit hole on this one.
00:20:03
Speaker
And for me, the rabbit hole didn't have, like, I didn't see Alice in Wonderland stuff because, well, you know, I can't picture things great.
00:20:13
Speaker
Oh my God, this is crazy.
00:20:15
Speaker
All right.
00:20:17
Speaker
Let me know what you guys have on this on Aphantasia, whether you have it or not too.
00:20:22
Speaker
I'm curious now if I have any friends who can't do it.
00:20:26
Speaker
And I wonder if it affects...
00:20:31
Speaker
Memories and stuff too.
00:20:32
Speaker
So anyway, this is a very curious thing that I got into, man.
00:20:35
Speaker
Very weird.
00:20:37
Speaker
I'm flying soon to Beirut for three days.
00:20:40
Speaker
I'm excited about that.
00:20:42
Speaker
Got my visa done.
00:20:44
Speaker
And I like how the visa just... Some of our countries, it looks handwritten.
00:20:50
Speaker
But it's cool.
00:20:51
Speaker
It's cool.
00:20:52
Speaker
I'm excited about it.
00:20:52
Speaker
I'm going to tell you.
00:20:53
Speaker
Probably my next episode will be about Beirut.
00:20:55
Speaker
So, you know, make sure you log in or listen in.
00:20:58
Speaker
Log in.
00:21:00
Speaker
Listen in on that.
Entertainment Recommendations and Soccer Highlights
00:21:02
Speaker
TV shows, people.
00:21:03
Speaker
TV shows, sports, and blah, blah, blah.
00:21:06
Speaker
I'm not following too much of the sports stuff.
00:21:07
Speaker
Messi's like in the finals in the States.
00:21:09
Speaker
How cool is that, right?
00:21:12
Speaker
The dude just like is earning gazillions of dollars and he's 36 and he's making everyone look like an idiot in the States.
00:21:22
Speaker
He could have gone to Saudi and done the same, but in the States, he's getting so much more publicity and whatnot.
00:21:28
Speaker
And it's cool, man.
00:21:29
Speaker
I think he looks happy.
00:21:31
Speaker
He looks like he's having a great time.
00:21:33
Speaker
So that's one thing I'm kind of following.
00:21:35
Speaker
We're going to see the finals.
00:21:37
Speaker
I hope he wins it.
00:21:38
Speaker
It will be such a great story.
00:21:42
Speaker
It's always nice to see rich people have further success in life and we cheer them on and contribute to their income.
00:21:52
Speaker
TV shows, people.
00:21:53
Speaker
I finally finished Jack Ryan and it was sad and it's shorter.
00:21:57
Speaker
It's only six episodes.
00:21:58
Speaker
What the hell was that?
00:21:59
Speaker
Right?
00:22:00
Speaker
That's so unfair that they would do that to us.
00:22:04
Speaker
And it's over.
00:22:05
Speaker
And he's gone on holiday.
00:22:07
Speaker
And I think that was the end of the series with the hope that they might come back.
00:22:11
Speaker
But this was the fourth or fifth season.
00:22:14
Speaker
God, I can't remember that.
00:22:15
Speaker
Oh, because I can't visualize properly.
00:22:18
Speaker
Call back.
00:22:21
Speaker
It's still a good series, man.
00:22:22
Speaker
Watch it.
00:22:22
Speaker
It's fun.
00:22:23
Speaker
Nice stuff.
00:22:24
Speaker
It's just a good show.
00:22:27
Speaker
Other things I'd recommend that I've watched recently.
00:22:30
Speaker
I know.
00:22:31
Speaker
Have I told you about After Party?
00:22:33
Speaker
It's a great show.
00:22:34
Speaker
Definitely watch that.
00:22:35
Speaker
Season two.
00:22:36
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:22:37
Speaker
They're releasing it episode by episode.
00:22:38
Speaker
And I forgot.
00:22:39
Speaker
And I binged it to the latest episode.
00:22:42
Speaker
And I realize now I have to wait for the final two episodes.
00:22:45
Speaker
And I hate it.
00:22:46
Speaker
I hate that.
00:22:47
Speaker
It just takes away the fun.
00:22:50
Speaker
I'm a binger.
00:22:52
Speaker
Binger?
00:22:53
Speaker
Binger?
00:22:53
Speaker
Binger.
00:22:54
Speaker
But it's a great series, so watch that too.
00:22:57
Speaker
I'm going to keep it short.
00:22:58
Speaker
Just those two things.
00:22:59
Speaker
If you've got nothing, tune into that.
00:23:01
Speaker
You won't regret it.
00:23:02
Speaker
After Party is great.
00:23:03
Speaker
It's a murder mystery done in a very fun, cool way.
00:23:06
Speaker
So check it out on Apple TV and Jack Ryan's on Amazon Prime.
00:23:11
Speaker
Cool.
