Boy, you knew that right off the bat.

I mean, those are the three that pop in my head.

And you still love those.

Oh, no, there's one more, too.

There's one more.

Fresh caught fish every weekend.

Because, you know, we would fish most weekends as a family.

But just remember to live in the now.

And I think we're always thinking ahead instead of thinking in the moment.

I agree with everything you're saying, because we've had this conversation many times before about how we can carry that feeling back with us.

And you already touched on it.

We have responsibilities, and when inevitably you go on a trip, you do push off some of those responsibilities.

You're not catching up on all your emails.

You're not responding to people or things as quickly as you should be doing, and those fall by the wayside.

Inevitably, you're gonna have to go play a big catch-up when you get home.

I know you are such a romantic.

Because it's mostly people writing who are getting free meals places, and you can't really-

Do you know with food journalism what I miss? I miss the days of food critics and journalists that actually went out into their community and ate around places that have never gotten written up before, that don't get the attention.

It's like I feel like the only places that ever get any attention or written up anymore are places that are viral, of places that are new openings by big chefs.

Like w- w- I, like, I wish the days of, like, the Jonathan Gold, who was, like...

God, I read every word that he ever wrote.

Famous, uh, food writer in Los Angeles.

He had, like, a team of people that worked with him that would, like, canvas the city, you know? And they w- their job was, like, to always eat and try and find new places, places that haven't been written about before, places that aren't getting a spotlight or attention.

It's like writing, "I was here."

And you just would rather not talk about it, and then I get upset at you that you don't want to talk about

it.

Number one, let's be clear here.

I agree with everything you just said.

I think the main difference is I do internalize less, and... my uh desire and ability to address things one at a time and like actually flesh them out in a moment uh i have less desire to do that and i feel like with the constant negative news cycle happening right now it's just one horrible thing after another i think there's a little part of me that's wanted to turn it off as much as i can i think that it's harder for me to have those conversations, especially like at home around our family.

And I think it's, it's, it's probably my desire to shield our daughter from some of it too.

Like I talk about everything in front of her.

talking about ice in front of Iris.

The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

I mind you looking at your phone to play the music.

I don't look at my phone.

I read books in the morning.

I read a book every morning.
