Introduction and Listener Engagement
00:00:06
Speaker
And so it begins another episode of the Expat Bride Podcast.
00:00:11
Speaker
It's Salman Kreshi.
00:00:12
Speaker
Woo!
00:00:14
Speaker
Everybody, thank you very much.
00:00:16
Speaker
Thank you for listening.
00:00:18
Speaker
I don't know why I did that.
00:00:19
Speaker
I pitched.
00:00:20
Speaker
Welcome, guys.
00:00:21
Speaker
It's Salman here asking, how are you guys?
00:00:25
Speaker
Are you partying?
00:00:26
Speaker
Are you having fun?
00:00:27
Speaker
Are you out clubbing and then, you know, just having a great time and coming home to judge other people online?
00:00:35
Speaker
Is that how it's rolling?
00:00:37
Speaker
Are we trolls?
00:00:38
Speaker
Are we?
00:00:42
Speaker
Awesome, guys.
Personal Anecdotes: Injury and Gym Struggles
00:00:44
Speaker
This is great.
00:00:44
Speaker
I've been feeling really good because I've been regularly doing my knee physio on my left knee.
00:00:53
Speaker
It's a whole couple of things happening down there.
00:00:56
Speaker
On my left knee because my right knee had already buckled last year and now I'm doing my left knee and it's good.
00:01:03
Speaker
It's good.
00:01:04
Speaker
I've just been banned from playing sports, basketball and football so that I don't cause unnecessary exaggeration of my issues, if that's how I'm supposed to say it.
00:01:17
Speaker
And here I am.
00:01:18
Speaker
Like it kind of is.
00:01:19
Speaker
That's the tough bit because because I kind of really I really enjoy sports and playing and doing something to kind of let off some steam.
00:01:30
Speaker
Right.
00:01:31
Speaker
That's that's what you do.
00:01:32
Speaker
You got to find some activity, something fun, something that motivates you, something you do with your friends.
00:01:38
Speaker
so that you can have a good time right we all do it we all need it man and so like that's the hard bit i don't mind doing the exercises i don't mind working at it and taking a pause but it's the it's that sports stuff that really really is tricky for me right now uh gyms are so boring like i
00:02:03
Speaker
I always tell myself, I'm going to go in, I'm going to spend an hour, and I'm going to work really hard.
00:02:08
Speaker
I'm going to work up a sweat and come out feeling like I've earned my 3,000 calorie lunch.
00:02:17
Speaker
So I have this dream where I will work out so much that it doesn't matter what I eat through the day.
00:02:25
Speaker
It's merely just covering up.
00:02:29
Speaker
a little bit of the calories.
00:02:30
Speaker
I got this idea because I read Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobio and he would talk about how in bodybuilding, they'd go to basically buffets afterwards and just like swipe all the food onto their plates, like literally swipe it all, like just gather it all and eat raw.
00:02:48
Speaker
whatever they wanted, how much they wanted.
00:02:50
Speaker
And that is a dream.
00:02:51
Speaker
Except I've got that bit right.
00:02:53
Speaker
I've got the eating bit really nailed it, you know, and it's just the workout bit that needs a bit of working out.
00:03:03
Speaker
So I go to a gym and I tell myself every time and then I'm in there and I'm like, I can't do this.
00:03:09
Speaker
I don't want to do this.
00:03:10
Speaker
It's so boring.
00:03:11
Speaker
I even try to like
00:03:13
Speaker
Even if I'm listening to a podcast or a book, it's just... Anyway, which is really funny because I used to work out quite a lot in the gym fairly throughout my life.
00:03:26
Speaker
Anyway, the sports thing was helping and now I'm off it.
00:03:30
Speaker
Complain, complain, Salman, complain, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:33
Speaker
My life is so tough.
00:03:35
Speaker
The reason I bring it up though...
Santa Marin Controversy: Public Reactions and Stereotypes
00:03:37
Speaker
is because, you know, the whole idea of needing something to make yourself feel better, let off some Steve, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:44
Speaker
I've just been listening to this thing about Santa Marine.
00:03:48
Speaker
If you don't know who that is, and I hope I'm saying her name right, Santa Marine.
00:03:54
Speaker
Like son of a gun, but son of a Marine.
00:03:57
Speaker
Of a Marine.
00:03:57
Speaker
No, without the off.
00:03:59
Speaker
So it's Santa Marine.
00:04:00
Speaker
She's the...
00:04:02
Speaker
Prime Minister or President?
00:04:03
Speaker
What do they have?
00:04:04
Speaker
What do these guys have?
00:04:05
Speaker
I got to check.
00:04:06
Speaker
I got to get my facts right.
00:04:08
Speaker
I've decided my... She's a Prime Minister.
00:04:13
Speaker
My podcast will be accurate as hell.
00:04:17
Speaker
So you can almost use it as a Google, except you can't search on it.
00:04:21
Speaker
You just hope that whatever you're looking for is mentioned through my podcast in that particular episode you're listening to.
00:04:28
Speaker
And it just so happens.
00:04:29
Speaker
So it's a lot of luck and unlikely to happen.
00:04:33
Speaker
But if it does, you know, you know that I got you the right information.
00:04:38
Speaker
OK, so reliable.
00:04:40
Speaker
That's what I'm going for.
00:04:44
Speaker
Santa Marine, yes.
00:04:45
Speaker
She's the prime minister of Finland.
00:04:47
Speaker
And look, so she's been under the news.
00:04:51
Speaker
If you haven't seen or heard, she's been basically like worldwide.
00:04:56
Speaker
People are like crucifying her about partying.
00:04:59
Speaker
All right.
00:05:00
Speaker
Some of her partying videos got leaked and she was with a bunch of friends.
00:05:03
Speaker
And I don't know, was she twerking or something?
00:05:06
Speaker
You know, she was having fun.
00:05:08
Speaker
She was drinking and she was dancing and that it was a private party.
00:05:12
Speaker
And now...
00:05:13
Speaker
I'm going to break this down.
00:05:16
Speaker
I'm going to try understanding this from both perspectives.
00:05:19
Speaker
I'm going to try being fair about this.
00:05:22
Speaker
Firstly, a little background on this person from what I know.
00:05:28
Speaker
34 years old, she becomes the youngest state of head.
00:05:31
Speaker
I don't know if anyone has ever become...
00:05:33
Speaker
prime minister at that age.
00:05:35
Speaker
Like I think back, I'm much older than her.
00:05:38
Speaker
And I think back to when I was 34.
00:05:41
Speaker
And man, if someone had put me in charge of a country, oh, dear.
00:05:45
Speaker
Yeah, that would not have ended well.
00:05:49
Speaker
Like, forget a country, a company.
00:05:52
Speaker
I don't know.
00:05:53
Speaker
I was in charge of a department.
00:05:55
Speaker
And let's just say, you know, that was tough.
00:05:59
Speaker
So for this person to come out, I don't know how she became.
00:06:02
Speaker
I should have read some history on her considering, I don't know, she just came into my mind when I was just, actually just when I started talking.
00:06:09
Speaker
And...
00:06:10
Speaker
And the fact that she's done, actually, she's probably done well.
00:06:13
Speaker
So she's, okay, let's be fair.
00:06:16
Speaker
Finland, not the hardest country to govern.
00:06:18
Speaker
Yeah?
00:06:19
Speaker
It's what?
00:06:19
Speaker
It's the happiest country in the world.
00:06:21
Speaker
The cleanest air.
00:06:23
Speaker
Their education system is supposed to be the best.
00:06:25
Speaker
You know, one of their taglines is like, it's a country of a thousand lakes.
00:06:30
Speaker
A thousand lakes.
00:06:30
Speaker
And that's understating it because I found out...
00:06:35
Speaker
It's actually 180,000 plus lakes they have in that country.
00:06:41
Speaker
It's awesome.
00:06:42
Speaker
It's ridiculous.
00:06:43
Speaker
Anyway, they're supposed to be the happiest people in the world.
00:06:47
Speaker
They're known for what?
00:06:49
Speaker
Like Nokia.
00:06:50
Speaker
Nokia.
00:06:52
Speaker
failed uh company uh no not failed company it was a great company and also taking saunas like that's their stereotype you know of all the countries in the world you look at stereotypes and it's um it's saunas for them like they just like to uh do a lot of it and and which apparently that was one of the things at the party of the thing that she was at and
00:07:18
Speaker
Can you compare that to other countries?
00:07:20
Speaker
Like I'm from Pakistan, man.
00:07:22
Speaker
Our stereotypes, nothing like a sauna.
00:07:25
Speaker
Maybe the good side is like food.
00:07:28
Speaker
But other than that, you know, I wish my country was known for saunas instead of like...
00:07:36
Speaker
exploding so it's not a good stereotype it's not completely true it's unfair but it is what it is and um i'd rather be known as the people who are happy and take naked hot baths together than be a hot bed for extremism uh or overly conservatism i
00:08:01
Speaker
Right?
00:08:01
Speaker
And not being happy.
00:08:03
Speaker
Just the opposite.
00:08:06
Speaker
I just saw a video today of a Pakistani KFC, this city called Shekhapura.
00:08:12
Speaker
And...
00:08:14
Speaker
The KFC staff are beating up this customer.
00:08:18
Speaker
And there's a backstory, I guess, deservedly, right?
00:08:20
Speaker
So I'm taking a little break from nice Finland to go back into my home country.
00:08:24
Speaker
And they're kicking, like really just beating him down.
00:08:29
Speaker
And it's terrible to watch in a way.
00:08:32
Speaker
Also slightly amusing to me.
00:08:34
Speaker
But I was like, what happened?
00:08:36
Speaker
What did he do to deserve this?
00:08:38
Speaker
And then I saw another clip of just previously.
00:08:41
Speaker
Apparently, the story is this, okay?
00:08:44
Speaker
His order took too long.
00:08:46
Speaker
God damn it.
00:08:47
Speaker
When you go for fast food.
00:08:49
Speaker
It means fast food.
00:08:51
Speaker
All right.
00:08:51
Speaker
So he got annoyed.
00:08:53
Speaker
I don't know how long the delay was.
00:08:55
Speaker
Was it five minutes?
00:08:56
Speaker
Was it 50 minutes?
00:08:57
Speaker
We don't know.
00:08:57
Speaker
And then he kind of walks into the employee area, like behind the till and just slam some of the equipment down.
00:09:05
Speaker
And that's the clip I watched.
00:09:06
Speaker
So apparently that's how it got going.
00:09:09
Speaker
And then somehow it ended up apparently possibly he attacked some women employees or was just, you know, abusing them.
00:09:15
Speaker
And they they at some point decided to go after him.
00:09:19
Speaker
And the clip's quite funny in one context where there's this guy in a blue T-shirt.
00:09:23
Speaker
You got to watch it if it's all over the Internet right now.
00:09:25
Speaker
He comes in, kicks a few and then runs off.
00:09:28
Speaker
Right.
00:09:28
Speaker
So this this chancer guy is in the video going, I'm going to get I'm going to throw in a few punches and get out, get rid of my frustration.
00:09:36
Speaker
So what basically when you watch a video like that, when when staff in a fast food restaurant.
00:09:42
Speaker
are beating up this guy.
00:09:44
Speaker
You just go, how frustrated and angry are the people there, man, to have to have gone through that?
00:09:49
Speaker
It's true, right?
00:09:50
Speaker
You got to have been really, really annoyed to have like to come down to doing that.
00:09:56
Speaker
And so, yeah, right?
00:09:58
Speaker
What's the opposite?
00:09:58
Speaker
Like, I think generally everyone needs a little bit of
00:10:03
Speaker
like just letting go, having fun.
00:10:05
Speaker
And that's harder in places like Pakistan, first of all, because the practical life, everything's falling apart, your inflation and politics and whatnot.
00:10:15
Speaker
And then because of the conservatism and whatnot, there's a lack of real entertainment.
00:10:21
Speaker
I think a lot of this is anger, but also lack of entertainment.
00:10:25
Speaker
So that's entertainment for them.
00:10:27
Speaker
I think that's why that guy in the blue top
00:10:30
Speaker
walks over, throws in a few kicks because it's his way of having some kind of fun.
00:10:34
Speaker
And unfortunately, that's their outlet and the only opportunities they have versus, I don't know, partying, right?
00:10:44
Speaker
Or like I said, hot saunas naked together.
00:10:47
Speaker
You tell me which one's better, right?
00:10:50
Speaker
Now,
00:10:51
Speaker
The other thing, now there's been like different reactions to this Santa Marine thing, right?
00:10:56
Speaker
So some people have kind of gone in supporting her.
00:11:00
Speaker
And I think so, right?
00:11:01
Speaker
Like, again, like she, I know it's not, it's one of the easiest countries to govern, I suppose, in a way.
00:11:07
Speaker
But it's also, it's like she could have easily screwed up things, right?
00:11:10
Speaker
Like if things are going well, people come in, she could have been stupid and gone, you know what I'm going to do?
00:11:14
Speaker
I'm going to fix things up a little bit.
00:11:16
Speaker
I'm going to make some changes.
00:11:18
Speaker
And that would have disrupted the whole country and it would turn into,
00:11:21
Speaker
another terrible, unhappy country.
00:11:24
Speaker
And she would have gotten a lot of crap for it.
00:11:26
Speaker
Now remember...
00:11:28
Speaker
Gotta give her the due.
00:11:31
Speaker
She was overseeing things during the pandemic.
00:11:34
Speaker
And that, man, for a 34-year-old, I don't know.
00:11:38
Speaker
None of us knew what to do with that stuff.
00:11:40
Speaker
A lot of world leaders made all kinds of stupid mistakes around it that affected people, affected kids, families, and whatnot.
00:11:50
Speaker
And she kind of navigated it through.
00:11:53
Speaker
And that's...
00:11:54
Speaker
You know, you got to look at her and go, she's good at what she does.
00:11:58
Speaker
She's smart.
00:11:59
Speaker
She must be smart.
00:11:59
Speaker
She must be.
00:12:01
Speaker
There's something going on with her that's special and good, right?
00:12:04
Speaker
So you can't like go, she's, I don't know.
00:12:08
Speaker
So there's that side of her that admire.
00:12:09
Speaker
I'm like, that's great.
00:12:10
Speaker
And so, you know, if at the end of the day, she's working hard and she wants to party a little harder, why not?
00:12:17
Speaker
That's what I think.
00:12:19
Speaker
And then – so a lot of people in Finland are coming out in support of her.
00:12:23
Speaker
A lot of women are because I think prior to this scandal, she had done a photo shoot some time back and it was a little provocative apparently.
00:12:35
Speaker
And so a lot of women came out in support of her.
00:12:37
Speaker
that too and i think you know when i look at these two things i'm kind of thinking is it a bunch of men just going hey beautiful woman uh doing well at her job and how can we you know pull her down a little bit like a notch of jealousy or some sort of stuff like that or some self-hating women who just go oh my god a head of state shouldn't be wearing that and whatnot like you know these expectations off
00:13:02
Speaker
any person i just find it i i just find the whole thing a little bit of an opportunity for her enemies or a political opponents to kind of cash on they got to find something right someone's doing well you got to look for some kind of dirt if someone's uh like you know the economy's doing well the country's doing well she's handling stuff well
00:13:25
Speaker
uh in the country other problems are fairly decent in there they're still the happiest people in the world then you got to go all right all right listen um let's uh let's uh destroy her persona reputation and stuff right could be that could be that i don't know so the good side of her and everything i'm like that's i just don't see it being a bit of a scandal now now the other thing is also
00:13:52
Speaker
I don't think Finnish
Speculations and Humorous Takes on Finland
00:13:54
Speaker
people.
00:13:54
Speaker
Is that what you call them?
00:13:55
Speaker
Finnish people?
00:13:58
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:13:58
Speaker
That just made me laugh because I'm like, they're the Finnish people.
00:14:01
Speaker
Who are the starter people?
00:14:03
Speaker
Sorry, this is bad.
00:14:05
Speaker
Oh, dad jokes.
00:14:06
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:14:07
Speaker
But really, if you were known as the Finnish people, that would be... Oh, no.
00:14:12
Speaker
Here they come.
00:14:13
Speaker
The Finnish.
00:14:14
Speaker
It's all going to end.
00:14:16
Speaker
I don't know.
00:14:17
Speaker
I don't know.
00:14:20
Speaker
The Finnish people.
00:14:21
Speaker
I don't know why that's funny to me.
00:14:24
Speaker
So anyway, you know, one of the other things they are known for is binge drinking.
00:14:28
Speaker
And so it's not like she's doing something unusual for her people, right?
00:14:34
Speaker
Like literally everything she's done in that video is something normal Finland people.
00:14:40
Speaker
I'm going to stop saying Finnish because I'm probably saying it wrong.
00:14:43
Speaker
I bet I'm saying it wrong.
00:14:44
Speaker
I bet that's not what...
00:14:45
Speaker
how it's pronounced.
00:14:47
Speaker
Anyway, and she she's not doing anything that other Finnish people.
00:14:54
Speaker
Sorry, this is so stupid.
00:14:56
Speaker
I should edit this out, but I'm too lazy to.
00:14:58
Speaker
And yeah, so she's doing stuff that regular people are doing.
00:15:01
Speaker
So it's a little hard to criticize her for that.
00:15:04
Speaker
Right.
00:15:05
Speaker
That's all the good side of it.
00:15:07
Speaker
I think at the same time, when I'm looking at it, I'm also thinking,
00:15:11
Speaker
You're the head of a state, right?
00:15:15
Speaker
And here's the problem side of it.
00:15:18
Speaker
Now, prior to this video, she had also been caught at a club shortly after she had been in contact with someone who had COVID, someone in parliament.
00:15:30
Speaker
And then she went out into a public club.
00:15:32
Speaker
So you're kind of going, this is a recurring habit, isn't it?
00:15:38
Speaker
She shouldn't have gone out.
00:15:39
Speaker
That was irresponsible.
00:15:40
Speaker
And so shortly after you've just been busted out, you go and do this.
00:15:44
Speaker
So can you blame some people going, are you really, is she responsible enough?
00:15:51
Speaker
And so I kind of got thinking also, I'm also like, you're head of state, man.
00:15:56
Speaker
And if you're drunk and some kind of emergency happened,
00:16:04
Speaker
If Russia had decided we're attacking Finland today and she was drunk and the generals are like, hey, listen, we are in trouble.
00:16:13
Speaker
The Russians have come in and we need to do something about it.
00:16:17
Speaker
And she'd just be like, I just called him over to the party.
00:16:25
Speaker
We'll all dance and we'll just have a bit of fun instead.
00:16:29
Speaker
I don't know if that accent that I'm doing, how bad it is.
00:16:32
Speaker
I am almost scared to listen back to it later.
00:16:35
Speaker
But I think that's how people from there talk.
00:16:38
Speaker
All right.
00:16:39
Speaker
I'm just going to stereotype that stuff to call them into the sauna and we'll all just take off our clothes and everything will be fine.
00:16:46
Speaker
She'll probably be slurring a lot more, too.
00:16:49
Speaker
Or what if she's not?
00:16:50
Speaker
What if she's like angry?
00:16:52
Speaker
What if she's one of those angry drunk people?
00:16:54
Speaker
And she's like, no, no, just launch the bombs against them.
00:16:57
Speaker
Does Finland even have any bombs or army to fight back?
00:17:01
Speaker
How would they?
00:17:01
Speaker
There'd be all sorts of emergencies that she'd just be too drunk to handle.
00:17:05
Speaker
Right.
00:17:05
Speaker
And I think that's what scared people a little bit.
00:17:09
Speaker
Of course, that's pretending that no one else in any world leader ever gets to that state ever.
00:17:17
Speaker
I can't.
00:17:17
Speaker
Can you imagine Obama being like that?
00:17:19
Speaker
Like when I can imagine Trump being like that.
00:17:21
Speaker
Biden, you're just like, is he alive?
00:17:23
Speaker
As long as he's breathing, OK, we can deal with the emergency.
00:17:26
Speaker
But someone like Obama would just be like partied out and people would be like, hey, we found Bin Laden.
00:17:32
Speaker
Well, let's get him.
00:17:35
Speaker
We will...
00:17:36
Speaker
Strike a bomb and kill him.
00:17:38
Speaker
Oh, I can't do Obama.
00:17:39
Speaker
That's terrible.
00:17:40
Speaker
But you get the gist of it.
00:17:41
Speaker
I don't know how different world leaders are at any given state.
00:17:46
Speaker
There must be a backup plan, right, guys?
00:17:48
Speaker
Why are you guys getting annoyed about it?
00:17:50
Speaker
What kind of emergency would happen in Finland anyway?
00:17:53
Speaker
The saunas are not heating up properly.
00:17:56
Speaker
What are we going to do?
00:17:57
Speaker
The people are angry.
00:17:58
Speaker
They're slightly upset.
00:18:01
Speaker
The people are slightly upset.
00:18:02
Speaker
They're not as happy as they normally are.
00:18:05
Speaker
And this is hurting approvals.
00:18:06
Speaker
You know, people are checking on eight instead of 10 out of happiness.
00:18:11
Speaker
This is terrible.
00:18:11
Speaker
It's a national tragedy.
00:18:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's what's going to happen in Finland.
00:18:15
Speaker
That's the emergency.
00:18:17
Speaker
I don't know.
00:18:17
Speaker
That's...
00:18:19
Speaker
That's how people are, right?
00:18:20
Speaker
So they're just trying to find something.
00:18:22
Speaker
I do think, all right, there's one thing I really do want to belittle her for.
00:18:26
Speaker
Not belittle her for.
00:18:27
Speaker
I just...
00:18:29
Speaker
That was really naive to think she would party and have friends be taking pictures and stuff.
00:18:36
Speaker
Okay, you know, friends.
00:18:37
Speaker
But yeah, are they really friends when you're like head of state, right?
00:18:40
Speaker
There's always someone who wants something out of you.
00:18:44
Speaker
And then like, is she surprised the pictures leaked?
00:18:47
Speaker
What was she thinking, man?
00:18:48
Speaker
Like I look at my own close family and I'd be like, one of them.
00:18:53
Speaker
With all due respect, one of them might leak something by accident or they're all drunk.
00:18:58
Speaker
Someone's going to upload something.
00:18:59
Speaker
We live in the day of social media.
00:19:02
Speaker
Did she really think it was not going to come out unless she wanted it to come out?
00:19:06
Speaker
Ooh, conspiracy theory.
00:19:09
Speaker
Something's up.
00:19:10
Speaker
Maybe.
00:19:11
Speaker
This is a distraction from something else she's doing behind her back.
00:19:14
Speaker
Remember, she's what up till now, I think, is an intelligent 34-year-old smart person to get to the head of state.
00:19:21
Speaker
That takes some kind of level of intelligence and scheming.
00:19:26
Speaker
I just don't... It's politics are involved.
00:19:29
Speaker
So, is she distracting us from something more important going on?
00:19:33
Speaker
Are they really maybe short on drinking, binging enough?
00:19:39
Speaker
Are one of the lakes...
00:19:41
Speaker
drying up and she's like quick twerk distract them we had 180 000 lakes now we have 179. i don't know guys maybe that's it maybe i'm on to something maybe this is all a distraction maybe the santa claus village
00:20:00
Speaker
has been destroyed and she's like, I gotta leak out something else to distract people from what's happened.
00:20:07
Speaker
Maybe behind our backs, Nokia is finally re-emerging with a new phone and this is just distracting all the big tech companies and everybody from watching what's going on and then bam, Nokia is going to come out with the latest, greatest
00:20:25
Speaker
phone with the updated version of snake on it and we'll all just convert to it drop our iphones and android phones and go i'm back on nokia where the batteries last for years instead of for minutes
00:20:41
Speaker
All right.
00:20:42
Speaker
I think that's it.
00:20:43
Speaker
I think I have solved the problem or the story behind this whole thing and what's really going on and what Santa Marine is doing.
00:20:52
Speaker
We're on to you.
00:20:54
Speaker
That's what's happened.
00:20:56
Speaker
That is exactly what's happened, people.
00:20:57
Speaker
So she basically knew someone's going to release it and she's acting all surprised.
00:21:03
Speaker
You know what she had to do?
00:21:04
Speaker
She had to release a drug test.
00:21:06
Speaker
She had to do a drug test and release because her opponents... I'm just going on a whole different tangent about this now.
00:21:12
Speaker
But they were just like, no, she's probably on drugs and stuff.
00:21:15
Speaker
And she partied out.
00:21:16
Speaker
And so she took a drug test.
00:21:18
Speaker
And I'm like, what does that even prove?
00:21:20
Speaker
We don't know when the party happened.
00:21:21
Speaker
She refuses to say exactly the date.
00:21:23
Speaker
So if she did like three days later, who cares?
00:21:26
Speaker
But it's all optics, right?
00:21:28
Speaker
And just... It's a lot of political... I really do think it's distracting from something.
00:21:33
Speaker
Anyway, that's...
00:21:35
Speaker
That's what's going on in the world.
00:21:37
Speaker
That's, uh, that just, you know, I think if someone's doing a great job, leave her, let her be a little bit and let them have a bit of fun.
00:21:46
Speaker
Uh, as long as nothing's getting destroyed.
00:21:47
Speaker
I don't know.
00:21:48
Speaker
Uh, I think we all need some sort of thing.
00:21:51
Speaker
Maybe she needs to replace the partying with like chess.
00:21:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:55
Speaker
Do, do that instead, but something's got to give.
00:21:59
Speaker
And, um, and that's how we roll people.
00:22:01
Speaker
So anyway, um,
00:22:03
Speaker
My life has more important
Personal Story: Toilet Training Adventures
00:22:04
Speaker
things.
00:22:04
Speaker
We're trying to toilet train Zion.
00:22:06
Speaker
That's what I'm at, people.
00:22:09
Speaker
That's what's really going down in the real world.
00:22:12
Speaker
I'm keeping it real.
00:22:13
Speaker
And man, that stuff is hard because it's really funny.
00:22:17
Speaker
My four-year-old, almost four-year-old, every time we take the diaper off and let him wander around, he kind of is...
00:22:23
Speaker
Patting on his thighs and butts like, hey, something's missing, right?
00:22:28
Speaker
And then he holds it up because he's like, I don't like getting wet without my diaper in there.
00:22:32
Speaker
And then we put him on the bathroom after a little bit to see, you know, you can go now on the potty.
00:22:37
Speaker
And then he does, he's not ready to do that yet.
00:22:40
Speaker
Then as soon as he's off it, he pees on the floor and you're like, ah.
00:22:44
Speaker
It's really frustrating.
00:22:45
Speaker
It's early days, guys.
00:22:46
Speaker
I just thought I'd keep you posted on the real important things of life and what's going on with me.
00:22:52
Speaker
Yeah, that's it.
00:22:53
Speaker
So world politics and potty training.
