Right.

So what we do is say, "Right, if you're broody, you need to prove that you're gonna sit." And that means we want them to sit for two full days and one full night and only come out of the coop or the nest to basically poop, drink, and eat.

That's all we want them to do for no more than an hour.

Once they've done that, we will then set them up in their own coop and their own run, and that means that no other hen has access to their nest.

That reduces the chance of bacteria as well encroaching through the eggshell, the porous eggshell, because broody hens won't defecate around the nest, whereas other hens don't care.

[laughs]

... we take the run away.

Yeah, we take the run away, and they're out with the flock.

Okay

... uh, he did something at the end of the date that was a little, like, weird and off-putting, and I, I just, like, kinda felt uncomfortable.

Yeah.

Yeah.So I was talking about the date afterward with a friend, and she asked what he looks like.

And I was like, "Oh, well, he walked me up to my door," which a lot of guys don't do anymore.

I love that.

Absolutely, and really, really good, um, question.

So the Kumano Kodo is quite mountainous and it's up and down.

So elevation gain-wise, it actually, I don't think it was that, particularly that much, maybe 1,000 meters elevation gain over 10 or 12 kilometers.

So but it's the, the type of trail it is, lots of roots, lots of stones.

It is, you do have to concentrate as you're doing it, and it's just undulating, so it's up and down.

Um, so you can break it down a little bit more, and I highly recommend the first day catching the bus to the, uh, to the trailhead, and then walking only five kilometers to Takajiri is the first point that you can stay at, and only do that five kilometers to start with.

Um, talk a little bit more about, yeah, I guess why and how you've chosen to go in the order you have, and have you walked them by yourself or have you always had a walking companion?

I think I have that nature too, so go ahead, Fiona.

You're good.

Karen, that's why we're friends.

We're good.

[laughs] Iron sharpens iron.

No, and I, it's, I'm not saying I agree with this, but I think the argument is when we're talking about prescribers and medical doctors that have-... not been given the education around HRT, and they, uh, medicine, big pharma is decades behind research, decades behind on taking care of women.

So we're just now realistically starting to open the door in medicine to say, how do we get a prescriber that knows how to do contemporary menopause prescribing? So I think the counterargument a little bit here, I agree with you, by the way, guys.

Oh, gives me shivers.

[chuckles]

She was quite a big baby, and I had, um, a stretch injury on the nerve, pudendal nerve, which is the nerve that feeds the genitals in men and women.

Um, and so that was like the first time I became aware of it thirty-five years ago.

And, and it sort of on and off caused a few issues, but it wasn't too bad.

I could live with it, and I just thought, "Oh, that's part of, like, having given birth."Um, it's also known as cyclist syndrome, so that might mean a bit more to people.

You know, when you ride a bike and you get numb in your saddle region.

Um, and that's something that I did as well.

Yeah

[footsteps]

Ryder? Ryder.

Ryder.

Ryder.

Did you, did you seriously fucking run away?

Ryder.

Do you wanna go back inside? Just, I got this.

You're fucking freaking my wife out, Ryder.

How did you run into Christopher Wilder?

My father dropped me off to go to work, 'cause I was working in a little fashion shop.

And as I was waving my father goodbye, he walked up to me.

He had a beard, dark hair, a bit balding, and he showed me a, a business card, and it had photographer on it, and then I just fed him the information.

"Oh, I'm doing a June Dally-Watkins modeling and deportment course." "Well, my office is right above June Dally-Watkins' office." So I was just sucked in instantly.

And then, um, he said, "Can I take a couple of photos of you? I want you to come and work with me.

I want you to be the receptionist.

Can you describe what she looked like?

aboardYou were supposed to be on the ship.

I know.

I've been hiding by the dumpster.

You've fought in a bunch of wars?

Ooh, what's your favorite bedtime story?

The pogo stick was invented in 1919 by German inventor Max Pohlig and German engineer Ernst Goetzl, who combined their names Pogo for the device.

However, modern spring-based pogo sticks were developed and popularized in America by George Hansberg in the 1920s.

According to legend, Hansberg was inspired by seeing children in Burma using stilts with rubber springs.
