So we're gonna get over in to Instagram. I'm gonna get into the meet potatoes here. We did not get a lot of questions, and I'm not letting my feelings get hurt because I know how the summer is. I Else enough kinda dropped the ball by not being around on Instagram as much as I had been for a while.
Mh. It comes in waves. Like, for about 6 weeks, I'll be Gun h there, like, in it, and then I hit a appointment Like, oh, I'm tired. And then I go away again, and then I come back and then Brian. So we are going to answer the questions that we received. I don't see any that we wouldn't answer, and then there's a very good chance. I believe we will be taking questions from the livestream stream? We will tell you how to do that when we
get there. Okay. Here we go. First question, have you ever dealt with a power exchange breakup. Do you have tips for healing. Oh, hell, yeah. I've been 30 Break before. Yep. Saying. Be kind to yourself and be patient. I know those are are are 2 words that you know, can can make someone cringe, especially patients, but that... That's really a good part of it, you know, be kind. Sorry. Girl. That was wrong with me. And you know, if if possible, find people,
you know, lifestyle people who who can... Who understand what you're going through, you know, and and and hang out with them and, you, you know, they... It it's it's good to have a support system. Yes. This is a time that if you have some form kent community online or in person, especially if you at least 1 or 2 people that you are close enough to that you would tell them is, let them know. You might not feel up for reaching out
to friends anytime soon, and that's okay. But if they know what's going on, hopefully, they're the kind of friends, will maybe check on you. This is a great time to practice communication skills and be clear and say, hey, I am having a enough time. If you just, like, Dm me or text me or whatever every so often that we great. I'm okay with that if you are assuming you are okay with it. But breakups are are the the right time there's no wrong time, but it's a a really good time to lean
on your community. If you do not have community once you get through whatever your initial grief process is gonna look like where everything is the hardest that it's gonna be and you're the saddest you're gonna be, and that's gonna be for how long it's gonna gonna be this... You know, once you get past that point. Now let's go find community and make friends. And again, be online or in person. So maybe you go to munch is, maybe you join discord servers with Kings.
You know, maybe you work on reflecting as, you know, a Gangster. There's tons of journals and tons of, workbook books and tons of like, little things you can do online. There's tons of sites that will help you do that kind of stuff. And this is a, you know, in that process of moving through your feelings in a breakup. Mh. Figuring out more of who you are as a kings. This is not a bad time. And and and some communities, you know, do different social things, like, you know, have coffee social old.
They they plan hikes and different things. You know, so there are things like that to look for to. Mh. And I'm gonna say the thing I say every single time this comes up because it does come up a lot because a lot of people go through it, and that is to allow yourself space to grieve. Yeah. Your feelings are valid it. I do not care if this relationship was 2 months, 2 years, 20 years. I don't care what the length is. It met meant something to you and now it is over.
And I also don't care who initiated the breakup. Whether you did or they did or something else happen like a ghost situation or whatever Mh. I don't care who initiated it. You have your feelings and you are allowed to feel them. You're not allowed to be an asshole with your feelings, but you are allowed to feel your feelings. There will come a point where, you know, somebody might go well, maybe you're wall now, maybe it's time to try and move forward.
That's different for everybody and really only your friends will kinda clock that for you. So don't worry about that just yet, especially if this is a fresh breakup, or you're just now kinda dealing with your feelings. Just slit self grieve. It it is okay. You are not, you know, crazy or a weirdo or pathetic whatever mean thing we can sometimes think to say to ourselves when we're in,
you know, feeling that kind of sadness. You're not those things, feel what you feel, as you start to come out of it a little bit, then start finding community, learning more about Kin learning more about yourself as a Kingston. And, you know, from there, what happens after that? Who knows? Maybe you just make a whole bunch of friends. Maybe you meet a new partner. Maybe you just gain confidence as a kingston and, you know, whatever. But first, just feel your feelings. Okay. Next question.
What made you guys, that's us, want to start a podcast about kin. That 1 that would be. That will be you. Because what I said to Jb when I started the podcast was don't worry, all I need you to do is edit it for me. I'll do everything else. I... The very beginning I was writing scripts. I was recording alone. It was very scripted. That just not... Did not feel natural. It never feel natural. What made me want to start a podcast about Kin was that I was already blogging?
I mean, for many years, I was belonged I was a huge blogger, like, not huge in size, but just, like, the amount of words my butt out. She was She was certainly writing at least 1 post today. So... And there were times several. Yeah. Partly because writing is how I process what I'm feeling and figure out what I feel and figure out what I'm thinking and whatever. But the opinions I was starting to form about
kin specifically power exchange. And the things I was learning, writing a blog post did not feel like enough space to have Nuance conversations. I am that type of writer in casual writing, like my own blog not professionally that it's a lot of parent because free thought has a side thought to go with it to add context, and that's... I didn't wanna write 10000 word blog post to talk about a single thing that I was thinking and to dive into the details on the nuance of it. I wanted
to talk about it. And I wanted I thought what I was gonna do is just do little tidbits because I figured nobody wanted to listen to long episodes anyway. Well, that didn't last very long. And they got longer. And they got longer, because quite frankly because the the problem with the here 5 things to do for your kinky relationship now is it's too fucking surface level, You know? The the articles published by non kin focus sites. It's all surface level and it's all the same fucking.
Advice. King sight, we have to find ways to get it across that's more than just like a checklist situation because checklist actually don't work. It's too individualized. So I just wanted... I wanted to talk about it rather than write about it. And very early on, I realized I wanted Jb with me, and I don't even remember anymore how that started. That is so far
back in the archive. I don't remember any You you came to me and said that there was a topic you wanted to talk about, but you wanted to have my input on it. As well. Okay. That was that was the entry point. And that was when I entered the closet with you. I hope job. Yeah. And podcast podcasting you've been stuck with me ever since. Quite frankly, it makes for a better. Episode. It makes for a better competition because
it's an actual conversation. You know? Yeah. And we are we are 2 completely perspectives because Dom sub, but also just because we're 2 people. So... Yeah. Yeah. But that... That's what made me I wanna start it. I just wanted to have conversations and it was I didn't wanna write it. I wanted to say it. So blame my talk nature, and my, dick to context in Nuance. Next question, How much has changed since we started the podcast? I don't do they mean in the podcast?
Do they mean in our lives? Do they mean? I don't know what they mean? So we can answer I mean, overall overall lots is lots. Everything is changed you know, when when Kayla first started this, it was with a laptop and no microphone just No microphone the built in microphone built on the laptop. And the laptop was old. When I started using it? Yes. Still have that laptop. Yeah. You still use it stuff. Actually, before I went into the
closet, I recorded at the... Kitchen table. I think I did 1 episode where I recorded at the kitchen table, and I didn't know what to do about the sound where we lived. We just didn't have good acoustics, and I was like, this sound is kinda such suck. And I think after that I went into the closet because we could at least control audio. Yeah. But I was... Well, yeah. Because at the end, the condo at that time, we had the... The bamboo floors. And high
ceilings. And very high ceilings. Yes. So everything echoed echoed. Echo. The... Yeah. The podcasting whole setup has changed, started with that laptop built in microphone. Yeah. Went to the closet. The 2 of us huddled around a laptop of the built in microphone. Bought, a single microphone. That was that single Usb microphone. Right. So we start recording at your desk because I didn't have a desk at the time. Right. And we did it at night after the
boys went to bed. Right. And we huddled around the microphone, and then basically where it was, like, please let Jb have the microphone or get him his own microphone. We can't hear Jb. And we upgraded to some equipment we kinda still have now. Yeah. It's the microphones and the sound board, we were still in the condo because I remember the story we went to. Yes. We got the sound board in the mics, which we still... Yes. We still leave it.
Have. While we were in the condo, we started doing some of the Youtube, but it was with the webcam. Mh. Oh, yeah. The quality was so bad. But because it's not really meant to take that wide of a shot Where were like, let's just push you a little webcam. Yep. See what you're can. It was it was kinda funny because... Well, in both cases, went at the condo and even later, when we moved to the rental here in Oc osaka, when we set up for the the podcast and and doing the livestream stream
at that time. It was a major to do. Mh. Because we were still using my computer, and we had to run all the cables on the other side of the room, To the sofa, we had to put up the lights and done take the lights down, do all that, and and we did that through. After we moved to Oc call. We bought this house because of the office. We bought this house because the office. We got a dedicated computer. Yes. We have more a setup, which is not as not what I'd like it to be, but it is
so much better than it was. But it's like. Oh, yeah. And in all that time. So the podcast, Morph. Mh. But in that that time, also, we got married. Yep. Oh, yeah. We sold the condo, moved to this town rented for a year bought this house specifically for the office that we now in. And the the shed in the back that's where you work to. Mh. Got a got Lola, Onyx and Ella all within a few months of moving into this house.
So, like, everything has... She a few months after moving into the house, Sa passed away. I know. And it was after Sa the dog for somebody who might be hearing is our dog. Yeah. Arch chill old dude because he was a senior dog. Within a a couple months after that, that's when we started racking up pets. You every month for 3 months, October December Boom. Mh. Yeah. Onyx came first? Yes. And then Lola. Then Lola. And then Ella. Ella.
In that time, and in the time of the podcast, the oldest is now a grown ass adult and in college. Living on his own. Right. The youngest is went from being, like, little little and freaking kindergarten to Now he's about to finish middle school in his home school and, like, everything in life has changed. Like, fundamentally, we are who we are. I think, fundamentally, this podcast is what it is. It's clearly had changes in shifts And, like, whatever over all these years, all these episodes, but
you know, And then in our... Like our personal life. We are... Again, We are who we are, but also everything changed. Yeah. Yeah. So... Yep, Yep. Yeah. Okay. Here's a question. How are you y'all celebrating pride this year? I don't celebrate pride. Not because I have any problem. Pride. I your problem. Pride.
A, 1, in where we live, there'll be some stuff, but it'll be very low key because it's a very good conservative area 2, if we wanted to do pride celebrations, we would have to travel, not that far. No. But 3 Gainesville or I'm sure. Yeah. But 3 for me, personally, the idea of being in the crowds. I'd I and there are many things I would rather do that are quite violent and would result in my own bodily not because I don't wanna celebrate pride, but because I I don't want to be with the crowds.
I I you. I wouldn't mind the crowds. I know you're better frame. Mh. It... It's just a matter of logistics. Yeah. Getting there. At this point. You know, we were still in the Tampa bay area. You can't... I mean, you can't kinda can't go anywhere without pride being part of, like, the celebration for a whole month. I mean, you might not go to a parade. You might not go to a party. You might not do that. Mh. But there would then still... You'd go into a business and it'll
be rainbow boat out. It'd be great. Yeah. I mean, it's here. It's it's it's it's kinda sad here, you know, and when when we live back in the Tampa Bay area, you know, you used to see a lot of people doing doing things for pride, you know, people would put flags out, you know, people would decorate, inside and outside their home. Mh. Around here, it's sad to say we have seen a few people fly a pride flag, and it has never been
for long and out gone. Are across the street neighbors who are fixtures in this neighborhood. Yeah. They no. They're the best place to go If you wanna know what's going on with this person down the street and what's happened to that. They keep their pride flag it in their bag. Their backyard. Yeah. So and we'd... You know, we thought about when we got this house, we thought about putting up a pride flag, you know, because 3 of the 4 of us are not straight, and all I worried about was the kids.
So was like, yeah, Maybe maybe not. You know? Mh. If they... If if if all the kids were home and they were legal adults, would be, like, what do you think and then we go from there, but while they were, you know, minors, I was like, yeah. I'm not I'm not bringing the cra to their doorstep anymore than I. And I. I believe speaking of which, I believe today is the anniversary of pulse Really? Oh my gosh. Is it? Yeah. I believe. Oh, the the in Orlando. I mean, we weren't even connected
to it and it No. Knocked wind out of me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. God... I see. I happened to see it, so I'll answer it. The person who asked the question and asked have to follow nothing at home. Oh, nah. I just... It never mean, I think for me, 1, I don't being mostly straight. I don't tend to think of it, but 2, I think we're both so old. We remember a pre pride time. So it just sort of I wear my pride underwear. You do. You do. And you are
pans sexual walking around on this planet. So they're for get is pride wherever you go. I know. If you wanted to do something I would I would happily do something. I know you would. I just did never for me personally, you know, it never occurs me. Does do you think about it? Now Having an existential crisis? Should we be doing something You. I don't know. I don't know. I... You know I will. I know. I you I know. We're good. Okay. We're guys. Check. Maybe I
should ask the the 14 herald. See 1 evening. I will. No. I will happily. You. But you're, like, you know, you would think if I know in the Tampa bay area, We walk into a pub bakery greet. There'd be radio cakes left right everywhere here. Not here. Not here. Not at least in our neighborhood. No. So... Yeah, Kinda sucks. Okay. Next question. What are your daily tasks that your dom expects you to do, consequences if not done, that 1 is directed me. So my daily tests are pretty, simple.
I... So starting... Let me start from the top of the day down. First thing in the morning, I am now 3 days a week. I'm getting up against my will and following Jb outside because we're gonna go for a walk, and, yes, I'm doing that. It's a us thing, but it is still a thing I'm expected to do. I'm gonna make his iced coffee and have it ready for him. If we are eating the same thing for breakfast, it's not an official task let we negotiate. This is the thing I do now. I do make it.
I get his probiotic ready and available for him. Was not a negotiated. It was 1 that I added. And then the day is quiet. I just do what needs to be done as it's... Asked of, but there's very little in the middle of the day. Did you make my eyes coffee yet? Yeah. I was forcing this out. Okay. And then we get to the end of the day. Mh. And I will get the coffee pot ready for his hot coffee in the morning, he makes it himself, but I make it So all he has to do is push a button.
When we go to bed, I get the bed ready, and I get the bedroom ready. So I have to make sure my chair is tucked in. And at my vanity, and I have to make sure all the pillows are set up, and I have to, like, remind him of, hey, did this happen or if I see something that's not been done hey And then, of course, I'll usually get shit because I reminded him something that he hadn't forgotten. And I'm like, if I hadn't reminded you, you would have forgotten and then you'd bet on my case, and we have
those commerce. Patients. I don't think they're required, but I think they're good bonuses. Yeah. And then He gives me permission to get in the bed, and that routine is I've bend over the bed. He rubs my ass, smack my ass, some combination of the tube depending on his mood, and then I can't get in the bed till so it gives me permission. And that's kind of it for the the... Have I missed any thing that's like the day to day? Well, that that that was pretty much the day day here at home.
Now if we go out. Yes. It, if we go out, Thing meaning that we get in the car and and had go go somewhere. Once we are leaving the house, Kayla is not allowed to touch door handles? No. If I if I am touching door handles it's because he's told me yeah go ahead. Right. When we get in the car she will ask if I want my sunglasses. Yep. And if so, you will take them out, give them me and then put away my Mh. My regular glass. Is. Mh. When we are walking in the store, she is to always be on my right
side. Mh. Also sleep on your right side. Yes. Or something about the right side. I know. Because it's the correct side, my dominant hand. Everything about 2 is dominant day. When we go to a restaurant, we haven't done this any long time because we don't lot to eat as often as we too. But if we go to a restaurant and he has coffee, I put his cream and sugar in. Yeah. I have had many a server, don't kinda get you wear hug because they'll put his coffee in front of him and then I
just pull it to me. Yep. And and I start doctor it. Start doctor it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So... Yeah. So... That's the, like, the stuff. If mh. If I don't do it, like, I can't I know technically, there's a consequence if I just don't do it. But I cannot fathom at this point. It's been. You you have been doing many years. You have been doing it now for so many years. It it is like a a automatic... It's just a part of the routine. It... It's just a part of your your your life routine anymore.
In the beginning, there there was some punishment, corner time. Yeah. Mostly in the beginning, some some writing lines. Mh. But now, the only times she may miss doing her tasks, and that is when I tell her, she is not to do them. Usually you have sick or... When when you when you have a migraine when you, you know, sick for some reason, and you know, then it's, like, no. You're off doing. Right. Not being better. I don't love it, but
that's the thing. At this point in our relationship, if I can see a reason for me not to do a task coming from a mile away, and there's 0 discomfort with going, hey, something is going on or or hey, bio I'm not even gonna be here. How do you wanna handle this? Or Mh. You know, those kinds of things. Is just... We've been doing it today I'm long.
The best chance sir, for me to get a consequence for not doing a task, which still has... I don't think has happened yet or has not happened since the very early days is if you assign, you tell me, I want you to do this thing and by some weird, like, time warp alternate universe situation, I don't get it done with, again, without communicating why I'm not getting it done. We're just Like, that's... Yeah. This those consequences would be in place if I didn't, but I mean,
I... Think the last time I faced a consequence for doing something I wasn't supposed to or not doing something I was. I think we were still long distance. I think we were visiting 1 another. No. No? Nope. We were in the apartment. Oh, god. That was the very first year we looked together. Yes. Still. That was 20 14. I was 10 years ago. Yeah. I know. I know. So at this point in our power exchange, it just... I can get consequences, but it tends to be, you know, what does that mouth do? Smart
off? Okay. That's what the mouth does more than anything. Tends this Ass is strong today. Yeah. That mouth over steps. If I'm gonna get a cons for anything it's gonna be for. It's not gonna be for actions or lack them no that. No. She not. She she is very, very good about doing her... Coincidentally her tasks and and taking care of the things that have been Mh. Been set for her, you know, even with this new thing with us going out walking 3 days in in in the morning,
Yeah. Today was a hard day. It was a hard day for her, but she did it. I was only able to do it because you were up and moving. And I realized... I don't know how for how long that will last. I don't know when the dopamine will wear off for both of us. I don't know. I don't know when that time will happen. But for right now, if he's up, and I know this is what we're doing. It's an agreement it's a thing we negotiated. Mh I'm up. Now
was I grumpy about. Yeah. Here's here's how as a submissive, I feel my feelings, but don't get my ass into trouble. I'm grumpy, but I'm quiet about it. And yes, I am capable of that. Just it's pouch. Is what I do. I walk, like, about half a foot behind him on this right. And I just po. Now, the po got stronger when he lengthen our walk this morning, thought we were gonna go home, and he just kept walking straight. And again, I didn't say anything. Well, you know that out this
morning was... So strong. I was waiting to see that bottom lip drag the ground. I wondered if the sheer force of the pallet would get you to turn around. I I didn't know if you were in your own little old be bop down the street or if you felt the power of my displeasure behind. I did. And what did it do? We walked we walked longer. World No. I didn't start counting till you passed our driveway and... No. You were pounding when we'd left the. No. I was I was tired. Yeah, but I I wasn't.
No. No. It the... It intensified. I was a perfectly happy place by the time I got home. I was, like, I'm tired, but I'm glad we did this you know, my... Feet hurt. No No. The actual po, the legit... The bottom went was hanging was when you just went right past our driveway. And I was like, I add 1 I had asked myself in my head because again, I was grumpy, so I knew what I needed to do... Keep my day and mouth dry. I had thought to myself. I wonder if he's gonna try and make this longer because
we're moving faster through this walk. And maybe not, maybe you'll just make that a friday thing. No. It was not this the friday. Than with the woman. Mh Again though, here... Here's the thing. The thing that will get me in trouble where I will have consequences is not the things I and not doing the things I'm supposed to do, or doing things I'm not supposed to. That's not it for me. It's this mouth. The lips flap. I'm not a fan of that. Okay. Thank you.
I'll tell you why later. Okay. So, alright. But, yeah, like, that that's where consequences has come in for me. Early days when I was learning the tasks you wanted me to do, and I was keeping them straight in my head until a root teen formed. Yeah. You were pretty lenient with me in the beginning. Were very understanding. I mean, it's to me, it is kind of the difference between some people would say soft dom versus hard dump. I mean, we've had that episode Right y'all know how
I feel. Mh. For me and my experience, it's the difference between a care giving dom, whether you use daddy or mommy or some equivalent. And not care giving dom because you are extremely understanding of
everything else going on. So you watch me, and I feel like the only time there was a consequence for forgetting to do something in those early days, was if I really needed to learn the lesson because I had just forgotten 1 time too many, and you were like, okay, this is the only way this is gonna stick or if it appeared to be will. Like Right. While I was trying to learn a routine, you were not punishing me because I was brand new to a thing. Like, Don't know were you ever gonna do that. It
didn't seem. You know, there to me, at least there's... There should be you know, a... I guess, like, training period? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. And as long as I was giving it a good faith effort. I think you... There was no no world in which there was gonna be a consequence. No. No. For the growing pains of learning. If you were, you know, hadn't been putting in an effort, and you were just s off and out have been
a different story. Right. But, there's not... No. I have that ability to just, like, dick around for lack of a... I couldn't think of another word, but that's the only in my now. I have that ability, but when I feel like something is my responsibility and or I know there will be consequences, I just I just mostly don't. Okay. We have 1 last question from Instagram. Okay.

The discreet play of, like, you're getting your King kong, but nobody fucking know your Okay. That's how I take it. If it means
don't know. Sorry. What educate me? Okay. Read the question again. What is your opinion on stealth slash discreet play either at home or. As far is at home. Our entire power exchanges stealth pretty much. Yeah. You know, you do you. You know, if if if it for you is doing it at home. You know what? Your your just is kinky anybody else. And quite frankly, if you have kids, you kinda have to be. Yeah. As discreet as possible Right. If you don't want
them up open and your be... Sure. Now now in, you know, about the public thing, The public thing, I'm I'm a little little torn about. I mean, there are people who do some play in public. And there are ways to be And and and there are ways to be discrete about it, You know, But the thing you really have to, you know, think about, especially when you're in public, the other folks out there in public did
not consent. Right. It's, you know, it's 1 of those things that Well, to me at least, before you go play in public as discreet as can, you have to think through it and then decide how... You know, what you're gonna do if you get found out because a couple of things. 1, you might get found out and now your banned from that restaurant. Your boss was sitting 2 tables over, but you didn't see them. Right. Your kids teacher is in the... Like, who the fuck no. So there's gonna be consequences
some of the times. Right. If your private play in public? Book known. So can you handle those too? Are you taking the precautions so that that discreet play is really discreet? I have early days. 10 plus years ago, Bend the person. I think with you and with another partner who absolutely was wearing the viper, yeah, public. That was not the time to play with the high powered vi that was guaranteed to have me screaming in an ga. That I could not control because then that
play is no longer discreet. Right. It's very public. It was more of a o this could get you there. And if it gets you there, you know, it's gonna be a... It's not gonna be the forceful, like, power of the magic wand, get you there. It's more like the slow burn slow bill. And it's your job to, like, not make it obvious everybody else. That was a fun form of play because if I absolutely had to, I could, you know, pretend at a stomach I could pretend... I wouldn't be screaming. You
know what I mean? Mh. I wouldn't be, like making my pants wet. I'm Like, and wasn't that kind of thing. But, I mean, in in general, I'm... I'm kind of a... You do you wherever, but I agree with you. Mh. Be very... My opinion is to be very careful of... Private play in public because, yeah. It's... And there's there's a... There can be a fine line. Yeah. Because quite frankly, I mean, I've
we've seen the articles. We've talked out the articles in the past of, you know, dumb walks their partner in... I on a leash to the grocery store. Okay. The grocery store to me would be a no because they're gonna be kids there. Now, I'm not on saying, oh, no. What about the children? They couldn't handle, you know, They'd probably be like, oh, are they playing a pretend game? You can, like, That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about from a Kingston perspective. If I don't
let my own fucking kids see it. I'm not gonna let some strangers kids see it. Regardless of what I think about, you know, mh. You know, think of the children and bullshit like that. So like, those are the kinds of things, I'm thinking of. There will absolutely be people who go, I can do whatever I want. Yes. You can. Mh. And there might be consequences for that. So be prepared to pay the cleansers. I don't wanna get banned from Walmart or
target or all these. So I won't be playing there in an obvious way. So right. Yeah. I think it's a sticky 1. I think I think at home, you know, you have adults, you know, non kinky friends or family over. Mh. You gotta be just street. You got kids. You gotta be discreet. You know? I mean, a lot a lot of us a lot of the normal that Kayla does for me. Are things that she can do even when there's family around. Oh, yeah. All those tasks I list around
previously... Mh. I mean, Other than the ones that definitely only have behind closed doors, nobody is gonna clock it unless they know us and had that conversation with them. We did that own purpose because we moved in together, and the boys were was 20 14 So when we moved in together, the oldest was 9, and his brother was no. 4 and 8. Yeah. I don't know how time works anymore. Yeah. Because he was he was still when we first moved there, He was going... Well, that was during the
summer, but he was in the... The youngest was in k. He was he was in pre k when we were in the in the apartment. When we first moved in together. So that's my whole point. We moved in together and wanted to be A47 Power exchange couple. And had 2 young kids running around who were fully gonna ask fucking questions and they saw something. Oh, yeah. So we designed our entire power exchange around what could we do that was meaningful to us that nobody would clock.
It's why I get strange looks if I start fixing this worth coffee because people don't expect that, and there I am doing it. The kinks side the actual fucker. We got very, very lucky that in their young years, the kids slept hard. Light past out early and hard. Yes. Yeah. And slept through the fucking night. Mh. I mean, we we still had to be quiet. We had to be aware. I mean, the nice thing even. Even with the condo, you know, 1 of the things we look for and we when we bought the place
and even here was split plan. Mh. You know, So the boys were run. And part of the search process is 1 of us in in the bedroom making as much noise as we think we might. And when It was in another room going, can I hear that? If I hear that do I know what I hear? Oh, yes. That is part of the the property owning or renting process and when you have choices. Like, I gotta know what can be heard and what can't. In this house, it's a true split. We are completely across the
way. And up until recently, we had some stuff around our door that, like, kept out all sound. We could do almost anything. I couldn't scream like that would be the thing I couldn't do. But, you know, I mean, I don't even... My brain can't even fathom them when we don't have to be discreet. Right. Like, it's just it's been too long with having to be. But we just made our... A kin relationship that discreet from the very beginning. So now we can go out in public and we're being power exchange
you, but nobody knows. Mh. Yep. Yep. So Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So what I'm learning is summer q and A's are not the thing. Are not the thing it's great client. But thank you all for the questions we got. Yep. Mister Bot mentioned in the live chat, folks seem to forget that freedom of speech slash action doesn't mean freedom from consequences. True. Dude seem to get real surprised when there's consequences. Not to get too the weeds, but here.
I'm I'm having a little drinking drink, and I feel no pain right now. Freedom and of speech is the government not being allowed to tell you what to say. Anybody else gets to say whatever the fuck they want in response to you saying whatever the fuck you want. So a business can tell you you can't be in their establishment because you, you know, express yourself. Mh. A website can tell you you can't be
there because you expressed yourself. And I know that because how many platforms have we been kicked off of. First of sex and then with podcasting, Like plenty of online businesses have full freedom to tell you you can't. Have that speech. Platform, and that speech is, please communicate with your partner when you're in a Power exchange. So, yeah. But, you know, it... It's funny. You know, that you say that because I I have noticed
so much for... And... And I'm I'm not gonna say the the social media platform, but it's 1 that I am on, more than most. And, you know, we are on that platform in a number of different ways. Mh. Okay. Between Loving Bd and between the can between personal pages between, you know... Or vanilla shop page Vanilla shop page blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And, you know, they they are so opposed to any sex educators, You know, I have to be So careful how... What you say is?
Lord jesus. Okay. You know, even even with our our toy business, we have to be careful with certain things. Oh, yeah. Alright. Yet. Yet on that platform. I am inundated with advertisements for e electoral dysfunction. Yes. Because they rewrote the rules so that was considered sexual health, And it is sexual health. It is. Okay. However, I I get actual ads because it says sponsored. Yeah Yeah. Off, 6 toys. That's a new thing. Yeah. That's a very
new thing. I'm thinking that the the platform needed money and realize that the sex people have has money. Okay. And inundated wit stuff regarding hemp and flour. Oh, I bet you are. Okay. And yet, I know. You know? I know so... And, yeah, the reason we do not have a living bd Tiktok account is because you say 1 wrong word, and they you're you Yeah. Do not have the patients to create accounts. Mh. And get booted and have to do it again. Y'all. It's been 8 or 9 years, and I'm still pissed
about the fucking Instagram handle. Okay? No. No. I do not have it in me to get booted off a damn platform multiple times. You know, I have people who ask us all the time, little things like, you know, do you have a do you have a thing where I can just send you... I think it's called coffee. I always said c fired. I didn't know they were trying to say coffee. Like, buy me at coffee or or 1 of those kinds of things come Don't know. They booted us 8 years ago. I think it was
yeah. I remember now they san fucking name. There's 2. There's a buy me a coffee, and then there's the other 1. Right. Both booted us. We weren't. That's true. That's selling Sexual services or fake. Not that there's anything fucking wrong with that. We were just... We had a little button on our site. You people who wanted to, like, a 1 time support situation. I jumped through all of Patreon tubes. I mean, I don't blink. Like, people I don't... I I like the fact that we talk about the
communication and the nuance... Of the relationship side of Power exchange. That's where I want to play. Mh. But I also know that there's... We tried on our patreon since do fully closed, like, demos and Mh. Like, really Pg 13 And they who not... Nope And patreon unchanged its rules and I went. I'm I'm not even gonna try and navigate that part, but I'll play by the rest of their role. So... So you know, signs in is is she on the wrong platform. I'm... I I just fell into the dark side of the
black. I think it's because all the apps and the devices talk to 1 another. Yeah. And I know what your search history. I know you do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, like, I just... I mean, talk about 400 episodes, thinks shit we've seen shit. You know? We I can't try... And I can't add a new thing to podcast to Youtube to our website. To Patreon without reading the all the fine print of
the terms of service to go, okay. What are the what are the chances we'll get kicked off of this to the 1 at at some point. Yeah. Yeah. And we purposely make our content. So it's it's all of it even in the shop even the King is pg g 13. Yeah. It's it's a balancing act. Mh. Mh Mh. It's like walking a high. So the Yep. But... Yeah. So that's... That's our q and A. That's our celebration of 400.
I don't wanna say it's anti anticlimactic because I am happy for the people who are here and the people who are, participated. Man, middle of the summer the time Yeah. I We know from personal experience of doing this for all these years and blogger for longer than that, and then the shop for hell long with it. The summer is on everything guys. People got shit to do. Right. That's fine. We're Hey. That's bother. Kids out of school. People travel, people know
house. Yeah. Well, okay. Is that... We're the odd? Okay. But normal people are, you know, the kids are at of school seem to be normal. Yeah. No. You know, They're... Kids are out of school. They're traveling. They're they're, you know, doing things. So, you know, yeah. I don't blame them. Mh. You know, wasn't hotter than surface of the sun round here. I would go out and do things too. Yeah. I know. Right. I don't know. Silent asked if for sure it's not the evening time slot.
It's hard to say. Our numbers our equivalent midday to evening. Mh. Not necessarily watching live, but Yeah. Overall. Mh. So, I don't know. Time change might has something to do with it. Like, I'm not... U. It's fine. We're glad for the questions that we gone. I know the 1 thing before we go into the shoulder bonus section. And this feels very bonus section. Bonus bonus eat bonus bonus.
Okay. But I know we're gonna take AAA week off at some point over the next few weeks at this point I have a feeling it's gonna be very last minute. Yeah. The feeling I'm gonna get a text from my mom that just goes I'm getting on the road tomorrow. I know. I've I've got I've got things that, you know, people are asking me about, and I'm like, I I don't know. I I don't know. I don't know I don't know what to do.
So if we just start posting on social at some point, hey, we're not we're not recording or streaming next week, That's what happened my mother's is coming to down. Yeah. So... Yeah. I am I will say... I'll also say about the time change. For when I say, I know it's harder for some people and. I hate that because I... I want the people who want to be here to be here. Be able to... Has been so amazing for me personally. And and and for me too, you know, while it can still be warm. I'm right now?
It is nowhere near what it is during the day with with when the sun because this room, the sun beats down on it. Sure. For... I mean, I don't even... I'm not even talking how but temperature I walk around hot all the time. So you're you're you're walking talking breathing. I'm talking about... I no longer feel like I wake up on a Wednesday morning and rushed through my morning to slide in, Mh. Tire sq into a noon live stream.
Like, I just... I know it's not coming off in in how I how I present myself, but I am a lot calmer coming into these live streams, than I am at the the 12:00 slot. Yeah. I really am I've had a whole day. I can pace myself throughout the day. I can get some stuff done. I can, like, help. We are guaranteed to eat before a live now because we have dinner first. Right. Yeah. So... Silent, you know, I I own it. I'm old. Silence said... Sounds I like 11PM would be great,
but we're old. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. We know... I'm I assume. You know, most weekends, I'm lucky to make it to 11PM. Oh, I know. Right aid. Same. Same. Same. Yeah. And and, you know, I I knew changing the time for the for the stream. You know, was gonna be a trade off There, you know, they're always there there's gonna be some people who could make it more easily in the evening, you know, and and some that you know, during the day, they... Like, that's the only time I got. I
can't do. You know, So it's... Yeah. You know, it... It's a trade off. I'm I'm well aware of that. But but it always was. The sheer amount of people who would tell me. I wish I could make a midday livestream stream, but I'm at work, And it's like, I get it. Totally get it. So Yeah. You know, to be honest, someone said, try 9 instead of 11. That's not Richardson watching time. Farming. I mean, I might be able, you know, maybe 8. We. We do 09:31 time a month, and it wreck us for
2 days. Yeah. We are too fucking old. I know. I mean, yeah. When when we do the do the Friday night hang out, Mh And we go to midnight or or something, you know, Like we did later. You know, yeah. We're we we're tired the next day. Oh, we are robin ass the next day. I mean, do we get to sleep in? Sure. Do we actually sleep it? But do we actually sleep in and make up, no. We don't. Because we we have stuff we're doing. Yeah. You're concerns... Try out. Over the cl.
Because after 400 episodes we are super professional. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm trying to learn how to embrace. We some of the chaos because some of the chaos is distracting and I know that. But trying to embrace the fact that this is never going to be a super professional podcast stream video whatever, where we're kinda scripted and we say exactly, like, exactly the right thing. Right? When and it's, like, we're point by point like, this
just... Because it's never been me and god love you You're along for the ride at this point. You have your opinions. But if I was not here shoving a microphone in your face, you you would not share them the way that you share them on The podcast. No. No. I would. So, it is all my fault. But, you know, I I continue to believe your vibe attracts your tribe. I like the people who are hanging out with us. Sure. Sure. We are very fortunate.
I do not read our podcast reviews because it... I I am not a person who can handle it in a in a way that is constructive. Mh. That's me knowing myself. I do believe reviews are for other people reviews. Are to let other people who find us have an idea of what they can expect, accurately or not. There you go. And our comments on Youtube every once in a while, like 1 of our videos will hit the wrong side of of not the Internet, but like, the kin world, and I'll
get some judge bullshit. But for the most part, the folks who follow us and interact with this at least, are your fucking grown maps. I hope you are. If you were under 18 and hear the son of my voice. I will round your ass. Turn the stamp podcast stuff. But you're grown adults who understand that adults can have a variety of opinions, And if you're here it's because you wanna be here, and we have, like a really kind snarky, and I love that about us. So sarcastic sassy audience.
But a you're like, you know, a, we're all adults here, and we're just gonna be adults, and we don't get a lot of the bullshit drama ever. Months a while I'll get somebody. Yeah. Every once small. And I promise you if I get 1 of those kinds of comments or whatever. Most of the time I ignore it because I'm like, No. That's not who I want to be. But if if you piss me off enough that I respond to you. Honey, just log off for the day. Okay. I do not respond often, but I,
that's when I actually become assertive. So just just go ahead and log off for the day. Because you have you have clearly, taken 1 step too far over a line. Don't know where the line is. Well. I know I I know I know for me sleeping in. And we're back on sleeping in. I was ranting. I was giving people what they wanted. Right? Well I never got to say what I wanted to say. Do you ever? The podcast is really... The real title should be Kayla never lets Cha own don't talk.
No fewer words have ever been uttered. No. I love you baby. I love you too. I love you. I just don't think anybody understands how quiet and short this podcast are be if jb be lettuce. Okay? Yeah. Power changes are great. You should talk to 1 another. We're gonna have to use a vlogger. Okay. Great talk to. Have a good 1. You could have done the script did 5 minute thing that I dreamed of doing. All those years yeah? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So... But, yeah, no. Sleeping in for me.
Most most of the time is is 7. Yeah. Lately. Lately, I have been I I have been sleeping in a little bit. A little bit more. Yeah. I have I have been. Because I've been actually getting up after you. Yes. Because I also... I used to be able to sleep in. If I stayed up late, I could sleep until I was pissed if I was waking up at 10AM because that was not late enough. There was a time. I could sleep until 11:30 Yeah. Noon was not long ago.
That was... That was... Not often, But, yes, I still had the ability to do it. Then I started hitting a point where 9AM was late for me. And now because of the... Whatever... The things that on my body that hurt in the middle of the night. Yeah. Late for me is about 07:00. And that's that's about as late as I can go. Yeah. Now, now a few times because we we have 1 young lady here in our household. Her name is Ella. Oh my god. And at at 6AM. She begins singing the song of her people.
Where she's clearly wasting away. She's starving to death. Yep. She's been abandoned. And and Ella, has 1 of those cries very high pitched and and almost grading. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, there have been sometimes too. I have gotten up at at that hour. Fed all the fur babies. Plop down on the couch. Gone back to sleep. And gone back to sleep. Yeah. I'm that person that once I'm awake I'm awake once I'm up. We are firmly in bonus section conversation territory.
So I think we should officially get there, And then we can keep talking about naps. If that's what you wanna talk about. Right? So we're good. No. I would not say that, but we did make it through our 400 episode. So that's. So, but I guess we're there. Yeah. If it wasn't chaotic, would it be us? No. No. K. If you wanna know if we've been, like, kidnapped and our bodies have been action these are impostor. If we're not chaotic,
it ain't fucking ass. Right. If you ever see us being fucking professional with a polished set you... That that's a call for help. It is it is. It really is. Alright. Now. Are we good. I don't know. Keep it all. We think we'll see you next week. Yes, babe. Can we continue talking the creek about whatever you would like them about talk to them about. Okay. Yeah. Go for it. Go ahead. You were the 1 talking about now. Now I lost My.
Oh, I Gone now... Gone out. Yeah. I think that was the whole you know, that was where I was heading for. So I'm there. We're there. We're there. Weird there. Yep. I will, for this week, resurrect emoji of the week, tissue, suggested in access followed, it is the... I don't know how to describe that 1. It's the celebration emoji, but it's like the... Mh. It's like the stream horn looking thing. I don't know what that one's called. If somebody has a word for it. Feel free to to give it to me.
But it's that 1. Yep. So in whatever way we are connected online. That 1. In the comments on social media, in a reply to the newsletter. That's the emoji. It's the party party popper. Thank, Si. Party popper. The confetti 1. That's I would say mister Scott. Alright. If anybody ever like, was like, should I go watch the live sometimes. You just ignore us, you can listen to the podcast later, Just like, watch full live. Could be this too that would work.
What are you doing? I don't know. Everything that's going wonky a here. No. You did too sham. Champagne glasses. I got guess. I know I did. Okay. Well aware of that. But that's not the emoji of the week. Really, Really. I am so glad you told me... I didn't explain it howard it's now. You have walked around in ignorance. This whole time you just wouldn't have been knowing stuff. Access the short form for the emoji in the week. Is on almost every platform is Tada off. Okay.
I have to try that. I've never done it. I've always started typing congratulations. Yeah. That does that does work. Yeah. And it did came up. There you. Okay. Mh. There were some things I was definitely gonna talk about in the bonus section, and now I can't remember what they were. Fascinating. I know. I don't remember what. Oh, can I complain about At etsy for half a minute? Go right ahead. The Loving Bd Etsy shop. As far as I know. Is up and running smoothly if you are a buyer.
We encourage you. Go floor. Shop. Have a good time. But on the gift side. Where I wanna add some products and update some products and make some changes. It's not working. And that, you know, that happens. Okay. Fine. So I use... I do Etsy support. There's no email. Not not for somebody let me and And I'm probably not big enough. Maybe if I had to, like a bigger... We had a bigger shop. Maybe I get an email to somebody. Know. I can use the
phone option that's not fucking happening. Mh. Or I can use the chat function, and I know it's gonna be... No It's not gonna be robust in the chat function, but I like, I like the chat function. I used the chat function when I discovered this problem was occurring. I was given a laundry list of things to do that I did not think would work, but I was like, I'll try them. Mh. I do the laundry list of things. I want to go back in to tell somebody.
This is not working, but the hat function in my account is also stuck. And only shows me the last chat I had and will not let me connect to a new person nor does the Ai or bot or other person, I don't know who I was speaking to before. Doesn't it let me message them either And so I am in a support purgatory where I can't tell anybody electronically at least, that I still have the problem but also, the problem is not being fixed. A week, a week I've gone them like this.
Yeah. And it just seems to be heard. Shop my shop. Not a fan. My vanilla shop is perfectly fine. I added a whole bunch of listings the other day I was very proud of myself. I wanna add some to the loving Bd at Etsy shop. I really not. So, yeah. That's my complaint of the week. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it and in tissue even said Etsy getting worse. I know. My. I know. And understand. It's it to me, it ever since they went public. That's usually when things go downhill with most platforms.
Yeah. And ex, I even brought that up to her. Shadow bet with a shadow band. My experience with shadow banning is more that you are count can't be seen by others, that may be true. I don't know. But I should at least be able to
see version. Operate my own dashboard no. And I know some features work because I clicked on a button in etsy today where they were like, oh, do you wanna update this pricing thing on your shop, and I went, I don't even think anything's working right now, but I'll click the button and see what happens. Click the button. We have updated these blog blog listings. Yeah. Oh, so you you work for that, but not. The the 1 thing I think I I
find funny. I remember a while back at etsy had said they were going to come out with a way to compare prices for similar items. Oh, and on your dashboard as a seller? Yes. Yes. They do have that. As a seller. Mh. I haven't used it, but... I see... And and I was very excited about that. Okay. Because I really wanted to be able to... You know, I I had done some of that. I but I do it manually Manually too. Yeah. And and looking you know, so I was I was very
excited when when this... When I saw this. So when it when it came up, I like, oh, I gotta see this. What is it? Where's is it telling me? And and it it It it was not very good for me. Oh, because it showed you all the mass produced shit. It it showed me all the mass produced Remember you know stuff that was... That was you know, coming out of Alibaba or Tam or something, whatever the, you know, The drop ships. The drop ship stuff, and and that's
what it was all showing me. And and it's comparing the price of 1 of my items to that. 2 to a 2 dollar item. Right. All, you're overpriced. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So since then, I I haven't even no. Bothered with it. Apparently, Etsy for 4 buyers. This is a benefit for buyers and may benefit some sellers.
Yeah. Etsy is going all in on this new gift kind of feature where buyers can look for products that are kinda kind of flagged as these are definitely gifts so that it is supposed to ideally show you as a buyer, the handmade unique stuff. I have not played it as a buyer, so I don't know. Mh. If it's actually effective, but I do know... Look, we don't watch, a lot of ad supported television streaming, whatever and we have what. I think 1 streaming service were fucking hell they're
shown us ads all the time. And that's how I just realized just how heavy Etsy was into it because for a couple of weeks, like every other ad was Etsy gift feature for buyers. So if you're a person who Shops on Etsy or wants to shop on Etsy It it may benefit offend you. I don't know. I haven't tried it myself. But III like Etsy for the most part. I like that it's a platform I'm not building from scrap. Right. Do you mean many sites ourselves, and it's a lot that Goes to it. Yeah. You know, it...
And and Ness just it, you don't have to go and build a site from the ground up, which is to kinda nice in 1 aspect. You know, you do pay for with the with the fees and whatnot. But I know how much we paid on the kin group. And what we pay in fees etsy dun I can compare. Right. Does not even can compare. No. But I lost my grain thought. Thank you. You're welcome. You like at etsy. You know there's steve. But You know, yeah. The the thing with the with the mass produced stuff has gotten way
out of Oh, control. For sure for sure. And And I... As a seller, I'm constantly getting surveys. Mh. From them? You know, how do you like us? What can we do battery? Yada yada? And I always say, you know, the mass produced is, you know, thought that he was supposed to be a crafter place. Mh. And you know, it it it's not. So but, you know, yeah, It keeps it keeps happening. It it it seems to be becoming more and more blatant Oh, yeah. From there sure. And I know what the answer is, but...
And, yeah, the times I've wanted to find something like genuinely unique. Mh. And I didn't... Like, Amazon was just not the place. I find it on Etsy. Mh. So I don't know. No, I don't know. Know. No. I I was having thoughts of does the loving Bd shop need to be like, shopify. Shopify not cheap either? Or no. I have priced that out because I thought about how we do the Kin and have been like, do we need to try something different noon price wise. Stay right where the fuck wait.
But Yeah. So buyers get kinda like, fucked over because they don't have as much choices they should have Right. Or good choices. Sellers who are legit, get fucked over because, you know, you can't survive if you're selling at, you know, drop ship kind of, like, 2 dollar prices because you get... If it cost you 2 dollars to buy that kin thing, 99.9 percent of the time, you are getting 2 dollars of value, and that thing will break on you or it will like, not work or it will
soccer. It will not be as advertised. Like, yeah. I don't know. Oh know. It's, you know, It's got it's good. It's scott's bad. Just oh, yeah. Else For sure for sure. So... Mh. But, yeah, That's that's my complaint this week. Fucking etsy. I have shirt designs and I have ideas, and I can't fucking do what I wanna do. Yeah, because of because of whatever going on with that etsy. Sure. I want... I can't let that go on
for too long. If I have to take a fucking phone call from fucking activity so fast. So fast. Yep. Yep yep. I've avoided getting a prescription filled because in order to make sure I'm not over paying, I have to call some form. Season. I really don't want to. If I need to do that. Well, I know. I'd rather actually, I think I've decided where I just wanna go, and be like bucket, the price is the price. I had a pharmacy I was using for a compounded medication. Right? Like, not a typical
prescription. Bucket billable prescription. And they changed owners and in the crop handover from the old owner to the new owner, they fucked up my prescription so bad. I had to go back to my doctor beg for them to rewrite the purse to prescription, even though normally they would not, and I only have enough for 2 months is what the just where normally I it for 6 months at a time. And I was, like, I'm like, okay, I'm not gonna go to this pharmacy because it's... It got all I'll fucked up at
this pharmacy as things were changing over. I don't know who fucked it up. I'm not going there. Then I found out 1 of my other options in town, but Is the same owner as the new owner of my old pharmacy owner. Well, that crosses that 1 off. And so I have 2 other pharmacies choose from. 1 is way to slick and polished. I'm like, no. That polished costs money. Your website's way too nice and you don't... For your medical services do not accept insurance. You are out of my tax bracket. So
I... My... I only have 1 other option and it's 1 of those, it kinda doesn't fucking matter what they charge because they're it. So I don't really need to make the phone call. What I need to do is make the drive there. K. You know what? Girl? And I... I really do. I made this prescription. Yes. You do. So now I'm knowing that tomorrow. Yes. You do. Tomorrow, you're gonna get that taken care of. Understood. Yeah. Yep. Tomorrow's day. Okay. Fine. So, yeah. Those are my 2 complaints this week.
And I'm avoiding phone calls. For everything for all of it. If I can do it. Do I have to take 10 extra steps to avoid the phone call? Yes. Will I those 10 extra steps without complaint to avoid a fuck on. Also yeah. Also, yes. Also, yes. So all that being said, do you have anything else you would like to talk about on. So... Okay. I'm running out of steam. You just popped out so much whatever. Podcast was like, no, you can't see it, but I know you fucking hear it.
So on, we have 1 episode of season 2 of Bridge left to watch. We're on the last episode. I had to be the Kill Joy last night that went, hey. This episode over an hour long, and it's 09:45. I and I said we have to go to bed early. I had no concept to time last night. And it was very sad that I was a good girl who... You were, who did... Because here's what had
happened. What would have happened if he... If I hadn't said anything, and he figured out, I knew what time it was to because I'm a shit liar, so I just don't bother. I do what I just don't. I would have gotten. You wanna talk about consequences. That's where they're would have been consequences. So I just duck it up. It would have been bad. Because we had to get him a 05:30 to go, go do... Take a grumpy walk. That fucking works, and it pisses me off
so bad that it works. Anyway, we need to go because I wanna watch a Bridge. Anyway, I love y'all. I wasn't grumpy when I go. Oh, great mood. Be especially making you go the extra. I am that person who will tell you to goodbye and keep talking. I know. I know who I am. I did think today was a great illustration of our power exchange working the way we intend for it to because the last fucking thing I wanted to do is was get out
of it this morning. This is a morning that if it had been me deciding when I need to walk out of out of gun not today. She was really hoping for rain. I was hoping for rain. I did not get rain. But I knew I knew need once I started, I would eventually be happy that we had done it, and I did get there until the block not fucking extended whatever. But I was really grateful that all I had to do, no thoughts, just vibes, follow jab down. And as long as I just stay behind him and do what he's doing.
We'll get through it. It was it was delightful of the The brain was... It wasn't that I shut off my brain. It was that it was not capable of booting up yet, and it was okay. I didn't have to. Yes. You know, it... I I have to even for myself, the walks. You know, we're we're doing them 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday right now, and they help. They do help. They do help. Out so much.
