Very nice. So construction workers back in my house? Yah boom, thank ya kind of Yeah. But anyway, it's labor Day. This is always very confusing to me, Robin. Why is labor day called labor day?

Right? Like, what actually is the purpose of this holiday?

Oh? We know the purpose.

So the purpose is to give people who work a break.

Yeah, bride needs like a little into the summer holiday. Okay, yeah, so they just named it something Labor Day.

Labor Day is a day for honoring America's workers and celebrating their contributions to everything we cherish about our country. The holiday is rooted in the vibrant labor movement of the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize how ordinary workers from coast to coast built America's strength, prosperity and will be.

But labor for me is like pregnancy. Oh, push a baby. Oh, that's what you really well, when I hear labor, that's what I always think pregnancy.

Okay, I mean, I guess, but I guess. For me, I'm like going to hear labor day, I think about working, of course, but.

I'm just saying labor in my mind immediately, I'm like pushing out a baby, right, Yes.

Well, pushing out a baby is working.

Its very much. Is that's the ultimate labor?

Yes?

Yes, And men know nothing about it. Take that men if they did.

Can you imagine how smaller the population would be if men actually had to give birth.

They would not be doing it. They wouldn't be doing that though at birth, a baby came out of their penis or a baby comes out of their butthole. What if they like shit the baby out? This is horrible. Okay what Yeah, they would not be doing that.

No, no, no, no, we would the population would be quite small and contained.

Yes it was.

You know we got a population issue, now do we really? I mean I was just readA articles like the the population.

Is growing and it's all countries.

Yeah, the just the world and like the world is just at some point not equipped to like handle all of these people and the things that the people require.

So oh no, I get that. And can we talk about the dollar in the euro?

Yeah? What's what's the different?

Like?

Where are we?

I remember back in the day, I could take my little dollar and I could go to the Gucci store and roam and get a deal and get over like a fat cat.

Oh no is that equal now? No?

No, no, no, the euro weighs more than the dollar.

Oh yeah wow, So yeah, I'm not shopping, so you didn't shop when you were.

I bought like one or two things, but like only because I hadn't seen them here, But like, no, like the dollar, and went think about that, think about actuates it fluctuates, but think about it. Used to never be like that because the United States always had like the best economy and all that kind of stuff, and the dollar would carry you so far that euro. I'm trying to get a handle on that, right on the euros, and so or the people with the euros. On the

You didn't see any like nice.

I kind of kind of sort of, but not really.

You know.

You have to understand I was vacationing, so and everybody else was vacationing, so they typically had like somebody with them.
