Season 2 - Episode #7 - Overrated, Underrated or Dead Wrong: Wellness Edition

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Training and Tangents podcast with myself, Ben, and the very beautiful Tom over there, who's freshly back from holiday.

Did you have a good time? I had

a lovely time, thank you.

Although I was about an hour north of Bordeaux, and obviously this is going out a few weeks later, but it was when there was the big fires in Bordeaux.

So I think it was about... 300,000 people were evacuated from that specific area.

We were about 130 kilometers north, but the day we arrived, we actually arrived driving down about half an hour away from the house we were staying in.

There was a big cloud of smoke.

We were like, ah, this is not ideal.

But luckily for us, the wind changed.

So for the rest of the week, you wouldn't have known.

Although obviously we were keeping tabs on it because...

Yeah, it's pretty close.

They were pretty serious fires.

Yeah, I mean, I just,

again, I don't really look at the news or anything too much, but I've just seen how droughts, like the effect of the droughts over in mainland UK, like all the Rivers drying up and they're finding new fossils they've never found before because the water line's going out so much.

They're like, oh my goodness, there's a bunch of fossils that we could never access, which is kind of cool, but obviously the drought's not great.

Glad you had a good time.

Glad you avoided the forest fires.
