Gratitude is the Attitude | 043

I think it's such a beautiful way to honor them. You know, I might

regret getting, you know, a tramp stamp. I don't, but

I might. But I'm not going to regret having my, like, dead mom's,

like, beautiful signature or encouraging message on me. Right. So

the stories that are in this book are amazing. You're going to start meeting those

authors, which is so exciting. And

I don't know, I think it's. It's really cool because, like, I feel like all

these tattoos are giving me so many ideas. I'm like, okay, glare, you

don't. You gotta. You gotta. You're gonna run out of skin. You're gonna run out

of skin. Yeah. And it's cool that Atlanta's first tattoo is a matching tattoo to

mine, and it's, like, a medium. Yeah. But I feel like that's also, like, very

on brand with me for my very first tattoo to be something that you

also got. Yeah. Classic little sister.

Oh. But I love it. It's like, the perfect one. It's not like, matching,

like, flowers. I. Although I do like that idea we

talked about that. I was going to say, like, matching, like, hot

dogs or something. Wieners for life.

Welcome back to another episode of Resilient AF

with Blair and Alana. And guess what? Alana is here.

Yes, I am. Hello. Hello. Hello. Is it kicking off season

two of the podcast? I think so. I think it is.

September feels like a new year. Like, I know it's back to school.

Like, fall sort of. You know, the days are getting shorter, the evenings are getting

crisper in our part of the world. Yeah. And, you

know, it feels like a new year. And I feel like, you know, our Jewish

New Year is coming up, and what I like is, like, my birthday feels like

a new year. The Jewish New Year and fall feel like a new year. And

then we have January 1st, like, you know, new year. So it's cool. Like, we

get to just keep starting all over again. The year is new whenever you want

it to be new, realistically. Yeah. Like, every day is a new day. Every

moment's a new moment. Yeah. How

was your weekend? My weekend was good. I

relaxed, which is my favorite thing to do.

Went to Pilates, and I

continued my Survivor challenge that I've been on,

so I just started season eight. How many episodes have you watched

to date? I. I can't tell you that. I only.

I only count them on Tuesdays,

but 13. Close. Probably

close to 100. Yeah. Wow. Good job. Gold star. And

then you're, you know, this isn't gamified like your pilates classes

where you like get socks, but really you might just be

getting followers. And like, I think it's awesome that you're doing this re

watch challenge and like you're killing it on Tick Tock. You're absolutely killing on

Tick Tock. And I want to come back to Tick Tock in a second because.

Yeah. So like you've taken the reins on our TikTok for

Griefy Gals, which is for this project for us. It's, you know,

it's amazing. But we're going to come back to that.

I just want to say, like, I feel like I just got in the groove

of summer and now like, like this weekend, it was like

weird. It was like a delayed. Like, I knew, like, I've been going to the

lake. I'm like, have I even been here? Like, where have I been? And you

know, this weekend I went and chopped wood and like spent time at the beach

and on the boat and like all these things and it

was just like felt like, oh, like it's summer, but it's actually just now over

and I'm about to, you know, begin crazy travel. And

I don't know, it just. If it was. It was such a great long weekend,

like Labor Day long weekend and to summer. And I'm sad because I have lake

friends that I only see there. Like, am I ever gonna see you again? And

I know I can get out there a couple more times before the snow falls,

but I'm sad la, like myself home.

Also, like, like, Blair, you had a beautiful weekend. You were telling me about it.

And maybe you'll tell about your day yesterday. But also like, you're gearing

up to travel quite a bit, so it makes sense that you're feeling that

sense of sadness. Yeah. And like, yeah. So

yesterday, so August 30th, international grief awareness

Day. I wrote an article about, like, do we really need another day?

Cuz, like, there's so many days and there's a day for everything. And it's meant

to bring awareness to a day that you might not think about. But as you

get older, more and more people die or dying, getting sick, things

happening, change is happening. Grief becomes something that's more in the forefront.

And I think if you are just hearing of this and you're like,

whoa, there's a day I never think about grief. I've never had to grieve. Like,

wow, like, enjoy. Enjoy the bliss of this level of existence. Because

what a privilege. Because for me and Alana Grief awareness day is every

day like Alana moved, you know, after the death of everyone.

Mom, dad, you know and like for me,

you know also my father in law miscarriage, my husband almost died

lot there was lots of grief. Alana moved into working for end of life

work and I moved into supporting those who are left Earthside.

We're both in the grief space. We're both in the

like well it's a life space. It's a like a major life event. Like it's

like the last chapter. Alana, you're in the last chapter and I'm there like holding

on to the People are about to go into a, a new book.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Getting into that. So it's interesting because

like I follow a lot of grief accounts and like they're all like sending, you

know, making their posts yesterday and I think it's, I think it was really

great but I'm like I don't need to make one more post about grief awareness.

And so I wrote a substack which is cool cuz I have a substack and

Blair from Blairland and like actually I have two subscribers who are paying for my

content and I don't even know them. That's so exciting. Yeah.

One got a year membership, one pays by the month for, for exclusive content. They've

gotten some exclusive content and it's going to get even more exclusive soon.

And we're actually like we have a Patreon that we're about to launch because we

want to take you behind the scenes on some of our projects and it's going

to help fund the project and all the things. But long story short, I wrote

a substack yesterday about like do we really need another day? And like

just like how when you live with a grief it is

just part of your life. Like I was thinking on the way home from the

lake, a two and a half hour drive. Like I don't think a day goes

by that I don't. I'm not touched by grief. Something

reminds me of mom or dad or maybe it's just a moment

but maybe it's just like a heavy hour or like 24 hours. But

like it, it touches me all the time. Yeah,

yeah, I completely agree. Like I don't think there's a, there's a day that goes

by where I don't think of mom or

dad. Mostly mom. Whether it's just like

honestly like we've talked about this before. Like grief bursts like a

smell. Yeah. Like dosing my grief sometimes I'm A macro dosing

my grief. Yeah, yeah, it's been a lot of micro. Like when

you smell sneeze. Yeah, when I smell sneeze, which sometimes

the cat smells like. Sneeze. Shane. Shane's like, what is

sneeze? Like, how. What does sneeze smell like? I'm like, you don't know what it

smells like? It's like, I don't know, like sneeze. The smell

don't smell sneeze. Oh man. Okay,

so anyways, I feel like. And we still like recorded. We're

recording this Sunday night. If you're watching this, like I'm in my beach moomoo

caftan. Like I came right from the beach home. Like, no

bra, like lake hair,

no underwear. Blair, Blair and the

bear. Bear, yeah. Bear, Blair, Blair, bear.

There's bearing it all. Okay, but you know

Alana, back to. So like, enough about my weekend. It was great. I feel very

privileged. You know, as a little kid we went to summer camp and like

all of our friends, I'd say almost all of our friends had family cabins

in multiple different lakes. Or they always, as a family would rent one for a

couple weeks every summer. We never had that privilege. We had the privilege of having

friends with cabins. But I remember as a little girl thinking like one day I'd

love to have my own spot at the lake. And I actually like every year

sit at our beach and I'm like, I did it. Like I didn't even know

I was manifesting it, but I did it. Like, we have a 30 foot trailer

parked across the street from the beach. The beach is white sand, surrounded by mountains,

like crystal clear water, the perfect temperature, the coolest people, like some of our

closer friends have become like part of our. Like they're our lake family.

And I just was like, I feel really, really grateful. Like

I just like, gratitude list is long. I

love that. I love a good long gratitude list, especially on a long weekend.

But yeah, so. And then on the way back I gave Alana a call and

I was like, we should talk about this TikTok. So Elena started

Griefy Gals TikTok account. Sometimes you see me, mostly you see her.

But Alana and I are going to be together soon in LA for the Emmy's

gifting lounge. And we'll probably get a bunch of content

then I'm going to visit her in Winnipeg. We're going to have a family reunion

at Hebrew Sick. Which is the cemetery our parents are at.

Yep. And grandparents and aunts and all the things.

So we, we Thought, yeah, let's go have a family reunion and introduce everyone to

mom and dad. Why not? But we're just

talking about TikTok and how, like, this one, TikTok went viral, and every so often

it, like, keeps going. And there's over

500,000. 500,000 people have seen

it. And what it is is a picture of a. A beach.

It's a video, and it says, I'm bored. What is the most unhinged thing

someone said to you after a loved one passed? And there are

almost 9,000 comments. It's a lot of comments. That's a lot of comments.

Alana's like, can you please respond? I'm like, no, I don't know. I can't. I

don't have time. But I think we want to take this opportunity. And I saw

another podcast do this with, like, funny answers, like hacks to adhd, but we're

not doing that today. We might do that another time, but these are responses that

came into the post Atlanta made, and, like, some of them are just so crazy.

So what is the most unhinged thing that someone said to you after a

loved one died? Okay, now if you're listening to this and you want to participate

and you're on Tik Tok, please go comment. Maybe you're watching this on YouTube. Put

it below. Share. Please do. No, you know, maybe in Spotify, wherever, if there's

a comment. Great. But, like, share this. You know, share this. Because a

lot of people say some unhinged things. Do you remember if anyone said any

super unhinged things to you after all the death?

Well, we just have to think about the context in

which our parents died, which was deep Covid. And our mom

died when there was no

vaccines yet. And people were very scared still. Yeah, no one.

And we weren't. We were told that we weren't allowed to have hugs.

It wasn't like that. Unhinged. And I understand it. But we still got our

hugs. And we're also allowed to feel like

it could feel. It was unhinged at the time. It was unhinged at the time.

It's not so unhinged now. The unhinged thing was someone that was all a senior,

a senior citizen came to you and said. You don't want me to

say it? No. Okay.

Oh, that's funny. It was very unhinged. But it's something that, like, sticks

days. Okay, you're gonna have to wait. I never

said who it was. Yeah, that's true. I know better.

Okay, so Lana Why don't you start with some of the comment. Like, let's start

with one of your favorite unhinged comments from this. Okay,

so my son. So this is from someone. Her

handle is O. With like, O, H, H, H.

Hey, Chris. My son passed away and not one,

but two people said, well, at least you have two more.

Both women who had five children themselves. I responded

with, oh, yeah. Which one of yours would you prefer to lose?

That's terrible. Terrible. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Do you have any? I have a lot. 1. I'm just, like,

scrolling as we go because there's so many. Yeah, the person's name

is Tessa, and she said the most unhinged thing someone said to her

was, you miscarried because you sinned.

Awful. Awful, awful, awful. Okay, this one. This

one's a common, like, common one. So story and soul shared this,

but a lot of people have shared this one. They're in a better place now.

Being with your loved ones is the best place. And not everyone shares

the. That they are with the same God's beliefs. They're in a better

place now. Like, where? Really? Where is that? Where is that?

The ground. I got sick. I got a good one. Okay, this

is K. K, A Y. With like,

a black heart and like a rock on. Oh, no.

Okay, here's one. Wait, no, I. Oh, that's her

new username. Yeah, I was just describing the

rock. Okay. I have my sister's urn in her bedroom, and a

year after she passed, someone asked how she was doing. I said, well,

she hasn't come out of her room over a year. For over a year.

That's like, kind of like dark humor. Like, welcome to the club. I love the

dark humor. Okay, so this is heart. Like the purple to pink heart.

Jen. Pink heart, Canada flag. At least my kids are

still alive. To someone who recently lost their daughter, her only child.

That's terrible. Oh, my gosh. Okay,

I got. Let's do one more each. Oh, I have a

couple more I want to do. Let's just do yours then because. Okay. You're organized.

So, Cindy, Canada flag. After both my parents passed

within 11 months of each other, I was told to stop posting grief

things on my Facebook because it makes people uncomfortable. I literally found

my dad on the floor, gone. Let me post what I need to do. Yeah.

Yes. Keep posting, Keep posting. Okay. And the.

Oh, there's just so many. Okay, this one is. Okay,

so Simone Paige wrote. We were all surrounding our dad, who

had just passed, and my mother said, he's looking up at us from hell

and we all burst out laughing and couldn't control ourselves for a good 30 minutes

after. And then the other one, I don't know what

flag that is right now because I'm it's on my computer. But the other, the

username is basically like Qaos 77.

I asked my niece, how's your dad? She replied with a smile,

alive. Then proceeded to ask, how's yours? We were both at

my father's funeral. That's terrible. But

kind of funny. Kind of funny. And then just one more

one kick grand finale comment. But there's almost 9,000

of them so go to our TikTok and read it please. And they, they still

are people coming in commenting and they're,

they're all wild. Okay, sir Shanks a lot wrote,

my mate died at sea in a boating accident. He was never

recovered. A couple of months later I was talking to his mother in the

supermarket. A guy came up and asked her how my mate was

still swimming with the fish. Was her answer. Oh my

gosh. You know, and like I like I spend more

time like scrolling tick tock and and posting. I post

more on Instagram but like there's some gold out there and so like I respond

when I see something that resonates. If you want to join our

conversations, we're probably going to do these every so often because we get some really

great comments and stuff that, that roll in. So yeah, I just

recently posted a new tik tok that's starting to gain some traction.

I love it. What's the question?

I can't look right now but oh yeah,

it's okay. Go to. I mean by the time you listen to this there'll be

a bunch more. Posts but go to at Griefygals G R I

E F Y G A. L S. Yeah, do that.

And so it's season two. We're starting

something kind of new. We are doing some in studio

recording. In studio recording. So we have an

episode coming up that I filmed on my own. Interviewed this guest,

really excited about her. Alanna and I in LA are like, well we're just waiting

to hear back from a couple people of influence that we

know have really great stories to share to see if they are free to

film. Hopefully they are. And we have two

books we're working on Resilient AF Skin Deep Stories and we have

Resilient AF Stories of Resilience Volume 3. Skin Deep

Stories is showcasing tattoos and the stories of resilience behind them. And

that comes out in December, early December and then we have, you know,

volume three that comes out in March. Because we have so many phenomenal stories, stories

to share, we are going to be having our

authors. Some episodes are going to feature two authors. So not together, but

back to back episodes. So that's something new that we're trying

out. We try things out. It either works or it doesn't. Don't know

how it's going to flow yet. But you can blare with us, you can bear

with us. And the episodes that are in studio are a

bit longer. They, they're about an hour. So we're giving you more content

and if there are specific topics you want us to talk about, you just got

to reach out. You just got to reach out to us, let us know. Hey,

can guys talk about that? Alana and I are going to make sure that every,

at least maybe every three or four episodes, it's an episode of us. And if

we need to put up bonus episodes, we'll probably do that on our Patreon. So

come on down to Patreon, but not yet because it's not set up. Get

excited about that. And so this tattoo book, this all came

because of. Well, I've been getting tattooed since grade 10

because I'm hardcore like that. And last year, last

spring, I got a tattoo of three simple words, proud

of you that I found on the back of a photo in grade

five. I won an award for being a nice person, a mensch.

My mom was there and she was so proud of me, took

a photo and I found the photo last year and I showed Alana over FaceTime

and when I showed it to her over FaceTime and I looked at the back,

it said proud of you. And my mom wrote that almost 30 years ago and

I had no idea she wrote it. And I felt just like so

emotional and like overcome with all these feelings. And I was getting ready to do

like a hundred kilometer hike and I'm like going to tattoo that on my leg

so I can look down during that hike and just feel her with me. And

then I started sharing that story. I shared it multiple times on social media and

I was getting flooded with comments, private messages, text message people

wanting to share about their tattoos and why they got them. So

we decided to do a book about tattoos and the stories of resilience

behind them. And we're probably going to keep doing them because everyone,

everyone is starting to like that hasn't heard about is coming out

of the woodworks. But we can't put everyone in one book. So that's really exciting.

So. So the tattoo that started this all is

mine on my leg. It's proud of you and it's in my

mother's handwriting. A local Kamloops tattoo artist, Jen Helgren, who's also

going to be in the book, she did it. It was a really special, beautiful

experience. And, you know, I have a whole bunch of other tattoos. Some are just,

you know, picked off the wall. Some have a lot more meaning. Some's in Hebrew,

some's in English, Some I got on the beach in Greece

or, you know, it's while living in Edmonton. You never know, you

know, with me. Like, sometimes I have an idea and I tattoo it right away.

Got some tattoos on my ear. But Alana is

a little bit different than, than us. And so we're not going to go too

deep into her story. But Alana has been part of this project

not since it began, but like she came on before the first book. Like

I brought you on, I brought you on help. Yeah, like pretty close to the

our mental health director, so she's a part of the project. She writes content

for the book. She does, you know, as you can see, she is the face

of griefy gals. She does a lot of things, but the one thing that I've

asked her to do every single time that she hasn't done is be included in

the story, part of the book, sharing her own personal story. So

do you want to just give a high level of like your tattoo and

what it might be about? Yeah. And you'll have to buy the book when

it comes out to, to get the full story of it

all. And the reason why I haven't shared historically has been,

you know, in my day work I am a social worker

therapist and I try to maintain some boundaries,

which is I think pretty important role. I think some self disclosure is

completely okay. And with the tattoo I felt, you know, like if

it's on my body, it's something that I risk being

asked about that it's a safe enough story to share.

So the tattoo I have is of my mom's

signature from her passport on my left

inner forearm. You're right. My right inner

forearm, I'm really bad with my left and right.

And the, the quick

synopsis is I have never really had

considered much about getting a tattoo. I think for a long time I was

very much like I'm not getting a tattoo. But then when we found out my

mom was sick and dying, Blair and mom had

a joke that, like, when my mom came out of it all, she would

get the word Survivor. And Blair was like, I'll get the word Survivor.

And Alana can get, like, the Survivor logo full

circle back to the beginning of the podcast, because I love Survivor.

And then when we found out she was, in

fact, not going to survive, Blair was

like, I'm thinking I'm gonna get this. And I was like, me too. And basically

impulsively got her signature

three or four days after she died. Hide a pandemic with

a local tattoo artist. That she was great. That

our old neighbor ended up connecting us with

that is, like, the high level. And since then, I have a second

tattoo of my Molly

cat, my Mouthu, which

is what I call it. And so,

yeah, the Sharon Kaplan signature was the gateway

tattoo. Yeah. So

it's really cool. And, like, you know, I think when

mom died. Not. I think when mom died, Auntie Risa or

mom's sister sent us a book about mother loss. And there's a section

in there that talks about having their handwriting nearby. Might bring you

comfort. And I don't know if I think I. I

didn't. I got to that part after the tattoo, but I. I found a picture

that I took on my phone of that. That section circled.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. So I. I think it's really cool. And if you're listening to

this, like, I know. Actually I've had a few people reach out. Blair, your tattoo

of. With your mom's signature has inspired me to get one of my grandpa's signature

or my mom's, and I think it's such a beautiful way to honor them.

You know, I might regret getting, you

know, a tramp stamp. I don't, but I might. But

I'm not gonna regret having my, like, dead mom's, like, beautiful signature or

encouraging message on me. Right. So the stories

that are in this book are amazing. You're gon meeting those authors, which

is so exciting. And

I don't know, I think it's. It's really cool because, like, I feel like all

these tattoos are giving me so many ideas. I'm like, okay, Blair, you

don't. You gotta. You gotta. You're gonna run out of skin. You're gonna run out

of skin. Yeah. And it's cool that Alana's first

tattoo is a matching tattoo to mine. And it's, like, a medium. Yeah. But I

feel like that's Also, like, very on brand with me for my

very first tattoo to be something that you also got. Yeah.

Classic little sister. Oh, but I love it. And it's like the

perfect one. It's not like matching, like flowers.

Although I do like that idea. We talked about that. I

was going to say, like matching, like hot dogs or something.

Yeah. Wieners for life. Okay, so

right now, early September, you know, this came out September 2nd.

We are two days into the resilient AF21 day

gratitude challenge. Why not

join? The link is in the show notes. We are

getting together every day. There's a little bit of a prompt. I go live.

We're sharing what we're grateful for. We're putting a new habit, a new

protocol, a new practice into your life. Because if you practice gratitude

every single day at the exact same time and you do that for at least

21 days and at that time you list three things you're

grateful for from the past 24 hours, your brain starts to rewire to see

the world in a more positive way. Yeah, like, who doesn't want

to see the world in a more positive way? Right. Like,

it's a free tool to strengthen your resilience muscle. And I've been doing this since

2016 at the lake. I got the lake fam going with that. I

got the real fam going with that. Shane and I do it every night

and I'm welcoming you into my practice. Now, obviously, I Practice it at

9 o' clock every night Pacific the gratitude alarm. For this challenge,

I feel like I'm going to be practicing gratitude a few times a day because

we're all in different time zones and you know,

we're. I'm going to be going live within the challenge group. I'm going to be

posting to social media for the global Resilience project. So global resilience

community through my personal Blair from Blairland on Instagram.

Maybe I'll even going making videos for our griefy gals TikTok.

Because the goal is to get everyone really excited about practicing

gratitude and picking a time. Pick a time, stick with the time,

put it in your phone, and if you can't come do the challenge, that's fine.

I mean, I'm mostly just leading. It's like leading a guided practice.

Totally. And I'm just here to, like, remind you of how to do it. And

it's one of those things where, like, once you keep doing it, it becomes

a habit, like brushing your teeth or checking your email and like, why

not do something that's Just gonna make you see the world

in a better way. So that starts the 1st of

September and the link is in the show notes. And depending on

how this f unfolds, we'll probably do it once or twice a year.

Let's see how this. Why not, why not, why not? And then.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it for today. Like the next episode we record

will be a recap from la. Yes. A

recap from the Emmys gifting suite where we're going to be handing out copies of

our books. Custom made sweaters that if you guys love them, maybe we will

put them on sale because you can't buy them from our store. And

the resilient AF journal, I'm really excited about also

like handing out a few of those. So without

further ado, do you have anything else you want to add?

I think you're going into what I was going to add.

Add. Okay. I was going to say what are your gratitudes?

Oh, I wasn't. But that's. Oh. Oh,

okay. So I'm really grateful that I had a,

a really great one and a half hour beach hangout today.

It was like I brought, I have this big blanket I got in Uganda and

I like laid it out on the beach and one of my neighbors who's a

friend came and sat with me and he and I just laughed, listened to music

and it was just like such a beautiful end to the beach portion of my

weekend. Really grateful for a fast and safe drive

home from the lake. It's a two and a half hour drive. Sometimes it

takes a long time. Sometimes it feels like I, you know, a

zoom zoom golly. Golly. Oh, zoom golly.

And I am really grateful

for.

That's a good one. I hear Shane cooking. I'm grateful that Shane

is currently cooking us dinner. We're going to have leftover homemade

pesto with gluten free spaghetti. What about

you? What are your three gratitudies? My gratitudies

today are I am grateful that I didn't have

to set an alarm today. And so I got to have a very

slow morning. It was my first slow morning's

weekend. I am grateful that

I got to practice Pilates today. My body

mostly compromised.

Yeah, Pilates has been hard to get back into just as I recover.

But so I'm really grateful I made that work today.

And I am grateful that I got to see

some of our old Waterloo gang

today. It's always so nice to. Congratulations, Megan.

Our neighbors. Oh like yeah. So sidebar. Growing up our

Neighborhood was basically our family. Like, all the moms were friends. All the kids are

friends. Like, you know, the kids are now having kids. And what's

really cool is that since our mom passing and us selling the house, they include

us still in every celebration. Especially,

like, Especially when they're in Winnipeg. Alana gets to go. And it makes me sad

and jealous and happy all at the same time. And then I think

of mom. Yeah, I did tell them that you are coming in. So maybe we

can, like, do a pop over one morning. Yeah, maybe we

should throw a little bit of a party at Sharon's resting place,

the final resting place. Oh, man. Okay. Well, you know what? This was

awesome. Like, welcome to September. Some of you have, you

know, your kids have been back in school for weeks now. Some of you been

back to, you know, teachers have been back to work for a while. Americans seem

to have, like, the school system that they start in August, I don't

know, but they end in, like, May. Yeah,

but like, up here, most of us in Canada, you know, it's our new

year or our new year. September is here. Pumpkin spice

latte season. You know, Halloween decorations

are out. It's my favorite vegetables. Ghosts

and goblins. What? And pumpkins. I was

saying root vegetable season. Oh, Gordons. And I mean, it's a

gourd time of year. Yeah, that's. That's what I meant.

Speaking of, I just want to report on my garden. I don't know if we

talked about this at the beginning of the summer, but I planted a garden and

two flowers went missing. Don't know how. It's like bushes that were

supposed to be perennial. And one pepper went missing

and the other one got sunburnt. But my zucchinis

and my cucumbers did really well. And I forgot a zucchini, and it was

like the size of a baby baseball. Like, the girth.

It was like, oh, my God. What did you make? Did you make like a

zucchini bread? Well, Shane. Well, I. I

don't bake. I know. I don't know. I'm gonna see if someone

wants it to do something with it because, like, I don't want to grade it

up and have to use it. Like, I. I don. Blair, we're the

same. I like to slice it and put it on a barbecue. Like, that's as

much as zucchini. And guy like Blair assembles food just like I assemble food.

Yeah. But sometimes I use heat. Yeah.

I have other things to do. I have other things

to do. Okay, well, you know, What? This is great. So if you have ideas

of what to do with my, like, ginormous zucchini, please, please let me

know. But welcome to season two.

Yeah. Welcome, everyone. Welcome, everyone. Thank you for tuning in to
