Do you ever find hospitals kinda creepy?
RobinGUEST
37:15
Um, thinking back to training days where I had to go into labs with jars of brains and [laughs] good havers, uh, to do some late night work, and feeling very creeped out.
RobinGUEST
37:28
The hospital wards are usually pretty well-lit, uh, and occupied.
RobinGUEST
37:32
S- rare to be alone, but, um, there, there are times where you can find yourself in a isolated spot.

19 plus to wager.
39:02
To not have immediate family, perhaps, or friends that you've grown up with, but I'm sure that is its own little challenge or big challenge.
RobinGUEST
39:12
Oh, a hundred percent.
RobinGUEST
39:13
I'm sure that a lot of people are in the same boat as me, and they might even not have any family.
RobinGUEST
39:17
At least I've got my husband's family nearby.
RobinGUEST
39:19
But, um, not having my mum and, you know, my very much my central close friends just down the road to pop in for a cup of tea when you've had a rough night's sleep or anything like that, it is, it is incredibly difficult.
RobinGUEST
39:31
When you first have a baby, your whole life completely changes, and all of a sudden, I-- my job is to keep her alive, and it's the most humbling and beautiful experience ever.
RobinGUEST
39:41
But it is incredibly lonely, you know.
39:53
Mm-hmm.
Alex BlumbergCORRESPONDENT

And she ate the exact same thing for dinner every night of her life, baked chicken.
RobinGUEST
51:32
It was like Monday, chicken, Tuesday, chicken, Wednesday, chicken, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken.
RobinGUEST
51:42
Every night of my life until I left for college.
RobinGUEST
51:46
[upbeat music] At the end of, like, the first week of college, you know, when everyone's desperately trying to fit in and everyone's, you know, it's important that you act cool and sophisticated and whatever, everyone begins complaining about the food that we're being served.
RobinGUEST
52:08
What was the hard stuff in the sloppy joe? You know, what was, what was that mystery meat? Like, what animal did it come from? And I'm, I'm looking at these people like they are crazy.
RobinGUEST
52:20
Like, I was like, "The variety we are getting here every night, every night there's a different meal." I mean, one night it's, one night it's mac and cheese, one night it's mystery meat, one night it's sloppy joe, one night it's something.
RobinGUEST
52:32
I was like, "How, how can you crit- I mean, it's a testament to what great chefs they must be that they can make a different meal every single night of the week." And they just kind of, they kind of stared, and they're like, "What?" And I'm like, "What what?" [upbeat music] What's running through my head is, wait a minute, these people are implying that they had variation in their meal plan for their entire life.
19:21
What's so good about them?
RobinGUEST
19:23
They'll make money for our school, just like they made money for our fledgling country after the Revolutionary War.
RobinGUEST
19:29
If the school is collecting a couple of dollars on every jar of outside slime coming into Smokey Brook, we're going to raise a lot of bucks.
RobinGUEST
19:37
And think about how we could use that.
RobinGUEST
19:39
New books for the library, free school T-shirts for every student, that smushy rubber flooring for our playground.
21:23
Robin, how do you respond?
RobinGUEST
21:25
Look, I'm a student at this school like the rest of you.
RobinGUEST
21:28
I want to protect the businesses we're building on school grounds, because when Smokey Brook business prospers, we all prosper.
26:01
Is it hard combining income?
RobinGUEST
26:04
I would say it's hard because I'm about eight years older than her, so I did have a head start, right? That's nobody's fault.
RobinGUEST
26:12
When I look back and hark back to when I was, you know, in for my early 20s, my priorities with money, I'm maxing out my 401[k] or trying to, I'm maxing out my Roth IRA, 'cause I was under the income limit.
RobinGUEST
26:25
I'm maxing out my HSA, right? That was my priority.
RobinGUEST
26:31
We had met going back those three years ago, and she's come a very long way.
RobinGUEST
26:35
Didn't have her 403[b] set up, didn't ha- really have a savings account of much to speak of, and did have the credit card debt.
RobinGUEST
26:42
When she had initially said those things to me, I'm like, "Oh my gosh."
