For some summer is their favorite season Travel picks up Kids are out of school and adventure is the focus For others juggling it all can be tough And can lead to overwhelm and count them the minarets until the kids are back in school. Personally, I actually prefer it when the kids are not in school and they get to spend time with me. And many worry that they're wasting the days of sunshine.

Share how this resonates with you. One of my summer plans, just having a good time, feeling good. Thriving, living it up. Discuss what you do to take care of yourself during summer. I like to go for a swim. I like to wear a beautiful dress. I like to have a barbecue with the family. our friends.

I've been watching Australia by the time this comes out we'll have had our game against the United States and that favorite still be with them no knows I couldn't believe we'll be turkey no no I couldn't believe it would be turkey and coming up in Paraguay But the United States I'm made up today Well, you know I'm just gonna do any banter,

bad anything Mm-hmm My diet is improving My weight is a lot Can we get some drums on? Oh I'm sorry if you liked any features About the old podcast

But this is what the podcast is now Oh, the drum stop You better believe that in between the Better Help commercial In this part of the podcast, Daddy went to a bottle shop and bought some When this podcast episode is over That is going to have a couple standard drinks Standard drinks Daddy's going to have some Ben and Jerry's ice cream

Better Ben and Jerry's ice cream Doesn't matter if I agree with their politics I agree with their food I keep stopping. It's probably not. Or is it? Or is it? Could we...

The podcast is there? You can't get the drums in. I can't make a loop. I can't make a loop. Well, we'll just keep doing the pod like this again. No drums, no background music. Just me and the beautiful podcast listeners. This is doing...

To listen it. indulgence knows no bounds. It's time to stop the self-indulgence. Um, what else is new? I can, I can still be on, I can still be on audio, I can still be on a little bit, I can tell how it is, things going on. Big, I'm taking every day, I do meetings, I cast a movie, I find locations. I'm getting ready. The next couple of days, I get to see the footage from the special, that'll be good. Uh, it's, you know, it's, uh, I'm organizing. visas for people. And I don't know why I thought making a movie would be easy.

It's actually very hard. A lot of the work involved is not fun. I mean, you watch so many movies about making movies. You think, wow, making a movie must be a good time. But actually, it's a lot of spreadsheets and calendar dates. It's a lot of checking that everything's going to work. Everyone's going to show up on time. Everybody's going to show up on...

You know what? I need a different background track. Oh, man. To know they down. Yeah. Thank you free Christian worship piano music. From a copyright free website. I'm pretty sure.

A.I might have had a handy making something this plan. But there we go past, but it's pretty hard to tell. Hard to tell. I think we all lost track alone of what it was a machine and what was a real human being. Before the robots started to act like us, we started to act like me.

Back to the beginning again. I'm trying to be a face and hands, touch and smell, rubbing up on one another. Feeling love and respect I think this might have been made by a person Because it's not very good I think a robot Wouldn't allow herself to be quite so tedious

Baby sugar honey, baby Was that still on? It's the Italian disco, that's the problem That's also a problem I can jam on top Yeah Yeah Let's turn that one on to it

Yeah I started watching a new show With my wife this week On Netflix It was called the diplomat It had roofersew It was not very good It was pretty bad

Made it through about five episodes I'll take the Trump out now. Yeah, that's better. We got through about five episodes. Five episodes of that show. And there's a couple of things about the show that really jumped out to me. The woman's hair. The woman's hair is unbelievably messy.

And we looked it up and they used a whole team to get a woman's hair that messy. They're trying to convey that she's autism-coded. I don't know if you've seen the diplomat. haven't actually met anyone in my personal life who watches the diplomat. But apparently it does really well and has a really big audience, just not among people that I hang out with. You know, like Sheldon, the Bohemian. Maybe I hang out with the Artie Ivy League graduates.

But I don't know anyone personally who watches that show about the child doctor who is autistic. I don't remember what that show is called. I'm trying to be quiet now because my kids are asleep. I cannot believe this episode has only gone for 20 minutes. Feels like drawing blood from a stone. they see us the most LeBard longest 20 minutes of my life It even includes a commercial for better help

Come on, come on That might be the end If the auto tune left to go If it's just me talking Just me, just me, just me talking I would find it easier To have things to say and get into a flow I hate this beautiful Christian worship

Backstrand instrumental piano Peaceful joy music I'm sorry just a queen media that I'm using Beautiful Christian worship background Why can't I say background I didn't even have that much to drink I did not even I could be a chin

I did not even I had a green ginger wine sounds sort of You know I'm going to enjoy And I've been enjoying the pentatonic chord chord Pentatonic chords is not good

It sounds like this Or there are the pentatonic chords I guess that could sound better like What do you think about that? Oh But Pentat 5 Tonic note scale And that's the

You know That's what people think of It's just the black case is all that transposed it down. But there's also this, it's like the Ethiopian one. Which, yeah, you know, I can't. But, yeah, you know, I could. This isn't any good.

Oh, ha, ha. That's a bit exciting. As we enter. I don't think I could even compose in this scale because there's a huge gap. What is that? It's all gone. And what about these notes? I don't have access to them.

See, I can't... It took them out of the scale. Oh, good stuff, Jimmy. Anyway, listen. If you've been curious about getting off of caffeine, or just cutting back, this is the easiest way to actually try it. James, that's a weird thing to say out of nowhere.

No, it's not. Mud water, mud water. Oh, are you one of those people who loves coffee? Ah, mud water. Cacao, chai, turmeric, functional mushrooms. Do you think functional mushrooms? Functional mushroom? Functional mushrooms.

It's like a, they say it's like a spicy, hot cocoa. Mudwater, mudwater, mud water, mud water. A coffee alternative made with mushrooms and adaptogens. About one-seventh of the caffeine of a coffee, you get your focus and energy without the jitters, crash, or anxiety, which is personally what I'm in there for. There are so many flavors. Mudwater. This is a commercial, by the way, talking about mudwater.

Mudwater. Mudwater. My wife just, who's in the room, my wife who's in the room for the commercial, just informed me that a friend of ours was on mudwater and found it useful. What was it useful for, honey, postpartum something? Postpartum anxiety The caffeine was making her postpartum anxiety very bad And so she got on the mudwater So how about that

Western music Thank you for these beautiful traditional Western scales scales that have just the right number of notes Because there's those You know, there's micro-tonal music And that's got too many

And at that point there's not even music That's just I don't know what I went to do an impression of it The one thing that it's impossible for me to do in auto tune is an accurate impression of Middle Eastern sounding microtonal music. Hello! It's in my... Excuse me, look, I don't mind if anyone else is having a good time. Is anyone else having a good time out there?

I don't care for anyone else made it this far in the pot. I made it this far. That means some real shit to me. I haven't even been using the pitch section Hello everybody And so good Western music is the best of music Everybody knows it

Everybody can see You can take your oriental music And send it away As I immediately move it Send it away. Right wing populism is at large in Australia. Dean Hanson is giving us as a Trump-type moment in Australia. Right now with Pauline, I thought we'd have it years ago when they locked you in your home and they made you to have a vaccine.

It's not actually a vaccine. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, they had something before, though, it was a, it's a gene therapy. Once there was a way to get back home. That's not it.

Tomato You say hello And I say goodbye I am the walrus Coochoo towards two 30 minutes, which I personally feel would be enough for this show. I don't think anybody... I mean, I'm trying to play the piano while holding your microphone

and hunching over the keyboard. Not every week's going to be like this. Arguably, I should have put this one behind the Patreon wall. If you want the Patreon, the Patreon, the Patreon's back there. Thanks everybody on the Patreon. We'll get back to a more regular. scheduled podcasting next week. I think I would do it.

I think I have time to do a visual next week. I think I might get carry on on the podcast. That'd be crazy. I'm going to ask him how to get black people to like me. Even though I am not personally a black person. I know people just, people just with the audio who've never seen me to stumble across this part going,

Come on the show. A tornado floor. Excuse him as a man. It usually does it right. You know what I'm saying? Well, I can't do that one, because that's the other one, because that's the next one that I would usually tune in an order. Tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, tune, choose. In a non-ordidune environment.

What are some other great, you know, we all love? Love lives bleeding in my hand. I don't know how to play that one. Oh, look, we should probably call it there. Shaloo, when I was young, I used to call your name. One of the most popular songs of all time. Yeah, whatever, it's hammer. We've got to do some, it's content.

You know, love you, but long as I love you. Love you. You'll never need to join it. I'll make you so sure about it. That's actually... God only knows what I'd be within you. If you should... A life would still go on, believe me.
