Episode Introduction
Speaker 1In a world where everything is unscripted, this is Roasty.
Speaker 2Toasty Ghost. Why are you a terrible person is my question.
Speaker 1I don't know. So many people ask that.
Speaker 2There's probably a reason why?
Speaker 1Yeah, and I don't know. Do you know? Maybe you should know why I am.
Speaker 2No no.
Speaker 1But I didn't think I was until all the people said that about me.
Speaker 2When did this start?
Speaker 1When I was three and a half.
Speaker 2You didn't know much before that.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2But then I guess you caught on pretty quickly yeah.
Speaker 1When you just then realized, Well, the problem is that people are just asking that question. They never give me like a reason, or a hint yeah. What's what? The terrible thing I did is? No one tells me and I'm like I don't get it.
Speaker 2I'm covered in sunburns and bug bites.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm covered in sweat and cat hair.
Speaker 2Yep, it's been confirmed. Yes, I know.
Speaker 1Yeah, should we start.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Who's doing the talking today, if you want to.
Speaker 2It's you because I had a birthday. Okay, yeah, who's doing the talking today, if you want to.
Speaker 1It's you, because I had a birthday, okay.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you have to open up.
Speaker 1Yes, I will.
Speaker 2If you're ready.
Speaker 1I think I am.
Speaker 2If you're not ready, you should probably wait. Are you ready?
Speaker 1I'm waiting.
Speaker 2Okay, really think this through.
Speaker 1Okay, hmm, yep, now I'm ready.
Speaker 2Okay, good.
Speaker 1Hello and welcome to Roasty Toasty Ghosty. My name is Mattias.
Speaker 2I'm Lauren.
Speaker 1And we are going to be your besties for an hour or so. Maybe, Perhaps Fancy way of saying it.
Speaker 2That is fancy.
Speaker 1I'm feeling fancy today.
Speaker 2Yeah, that is something you could say if you were feeling fancy.
Speaker 1And you know I mean welcome to the best podcast in the world.
Speaker 2Thank you, you're welcome. I like being here.
Speaker 1Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1Yes, exactly, did I miss anything?
Speaker 2Me. Yes, aw, matthias, you're so sweet.
Speaker 1Hmm, okay, you're the worst. Okay, anyhow, should we start talking about what happened this week?
Speaker 2I mean, I guess we could, but I'm not sure I really have that much.
Speaker 1No, we don't have a ton to talk about. A ton, not a ton.
Speaker 2I don't have a ton-ton.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2To talk about.
Speaker 1I don't have one of those either. I think they might be extinct.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, maybe I should probably mention, though, that today is Thursday. It's not Friday, like we usually would record on.
Speaker 1That is true, and that's your fault.
Speaker 2It is my fault, because it's my fault that it's midsummer this weekend.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2And we're gonna head out to the summer cabin tomorrow, Friday, and enjoy our weekend together.
Speaker 1Yeah, you and your family.
Speaker 2And you.
Speaker 1You'll be out there on Saturday. Yeah, I'm not going to go tomorrow.
Speaker 2No, but I'm going, you will also enjoy your time there. Oh okay On Saturday, oh okay the weekend.
Speaker 1Okay, I was thinking I was going to be misery.
Speaker 2What.
Speaker 1I'm going to be misery. I was going to be misery. What I'm going to be misery. You're going to be misery, miserable, that's what the word was.
Speaker 2I am in misery.
Speaker 1I'm misery. No, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Have you seen that movie? No, you haven't.
Speaker 2What Misery no.
Speaker 1You wouldn't like it.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1It's not your type of movie.
Speaker 2It sounds miserable. Yeah, I've seen the Miserables.
Speaker 1Yes, you have seen that one. Yeah, it's a movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1I won't say if it's good or bad, but it's a movie.
Speaker 2Okay, which one?
Speaker 1The Miserables.
Speaker 2Right, we've seen that I.
Speaker 1Right, we've seen that I like Misery, though.
Speaker 2I've never seen that.
Speaker 1I don't think you would like it.
Speaker 2Probably not. I'm sure it's on the list.
Weekend Plans and Birthday Celebrations
Speaker 1I don't know If it is on the list. I probably will take it off, because it feels like there's one scene in particular that you would not like to see.
Speaker 2Okay, let's not watch that.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Okay, then what? Then oh yeah, the weekend we're gonna be camping. So today is Thursday.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So we're gonna start with the week.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2And last Saturday.
Speaker 1Yeah, Last Saturday that was a day for grilling.
Speaker 2It was.
Speaker 1Yes, we also. I mean, we had a plan to go by car to a city.
Speaker 2Well, wait, hold on what, Okay we woke up.
Speaker 1You stayed the night, I did.
Speaker 2On Friday.
Speaker 1Then we woke up.
Speaker 2And we watched City Hunter and Kung Pao.
Speaker 1And the the Fist.
Speaker 2Yeah, like we usually do for my birthday. Yeah, but it was the do for my birthday.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2But it was the day after my birthday, yeah.
Speaker 1It still worked. Yeah, we could watch the movies even after your birthday.
Speaker 2That's true.
Speaker 1That's cool.
Speaker 2Yeah, who knew? I knew because I suggested it.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, so then but I think that was just a guess.
Speaker 2Yeah, maybe, well, guess, yeah, maybe. Well, we watched the movies and then, yeah, like you said, we were planning on going to the city and looking at a candy store, but we didn't have time for that no so we took a really long walk instead yeah, we had time for that yeah, I don't know, or or barely, barely.
Speaker 1I mean, we got late to the grilling, but it wasn't.
Speaker 2It wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 1Big deal.
Speaker 2No, it was at my place, so yeah, but yeah, we went for this walk and we got a drink and we sat under a tree and consumed our beverages. Yeah, and talked and we talked, and it was warm.
Speaker 1Yeah, we saw a dad with his baby. Yeah yeah, the baby was so cute.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But yes, it was warm, really warm.
Speaker 2And then we walked back.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And we got stuff to grill and then we went to your place and we grilled our things. Yeah, yeah, both of my older kids decided to run off with friends instead of go with us, but Sick Child was still with us. Yes, so it was nice, it was nice, it went well, I agree.
Speaker 1Good, good, good. We did have fika too.
Speaker 2We did. We stayed for fika this time.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Because last time I didn't even think about having fika after no, and so we ran off before fika. But this time we had fika.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2It was a lot calmer than last time.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was fewer people there.
Speaker 2Yeah, and it was good.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was. Oh, yeah, it was.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, I got a blueberry plant. Blueberry plant.
Speaker 1I thought you were going to say a blueberry pimple.
Speaker 2I got a blueberry pimple.
Speaker 1Yes, a blueberry pant.
Speaker 2I got blueberry pants no.
Speaker 1No, this is not going well for us. It was a plant. Yes.
Speaker 2With blueberries, or there weren't any blueberries on it yet.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2But I got that as a birthday present from your family. Yes, it was really nice. And then on Sunday my family went out to the summer cabin and we grilled and we had fika and cake and celebrated my birthday there too.
Speaker 1Salad braided Salad braided.
Speaker 2Salad braided. We braided salad. It didn't go very well.
Speaker 1No, but we tried. Yeah.
Speaker 2Do you know how to make those like flower crowns for Midsummer?
Speaker 1No, I don't know.
Speaker 2Why.
Speaker 1I think my sister makes them, but I don't know if she's like cheating with them somehow. I don't know.
Speaker 2Okay, where I don't know what you mean by that?
Speaker 1I don't know what the rules are. She might be cheating with them. I don't know what the rules are.
Speaker 2I don't know how to do that, because.
Speaker 1I think she has some kind of ståltråd or something in there, yeah. And I don't know if that's how they usually are made or if that's just something she does. I don't know.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1So that's what I mean by cheating. If people do them like without anything in there, like stabilizing it. I don't know how to do that and I don't think she knows either. No, that's what I meant okay, anyway.
Speaker 2Yeah, we grilled at the summer cabin with my life partner's mother and aunt yeah we also went for a walk that day, Sunday.
Speaker 1Yeah, we did. We went for a walk and then we had fika.
Speaker 2And then I went to the summer cabin.
Speaker 1Yeah that's true, you're right.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1It was a nice walk, it was a nice fika.
Speaker 2It was good, yeah, anything else.
Speaker 1I don't think so. I don't know what I did, oh yeah.
Speaker 2Maybe I was doing the woodworking and then for the last four days I really haven't done that much. Sick child went to football school some kind of summer camp thing for the week, and it's just like an hour and a half of them playing football.
Speaker 1Okay, so every day.
Speaker 2This week yeah, and it was only this week, monday to thursday okay, he kind of liked it, and then he also kind of didn't like it. He would like kind of give up at random times and just decide I need to take a break, and he didn't want to participate until they were like actually kicking the ball around. Yeah, it was okay. Okay, and I also started building a hamster house.
Speaker 1Yeah, you did.
Speaker 2Because I feel like I don't have anything else to do. So that is my project Okay At the moment. Yeah, I have anything else to do, so that is my project at the moment.
Speaker 1Yeah, I have been working this week. I don't know if you have anything else to add to the week, but on Wednesday we went for a walk.
Speaker 2That was yesterday.
Speaker 1That was yesterday.
Speaker 2Yes, we did go for a walk. It's kind of a funny story because I picked you up at work, yeah, and then we parked by where my oldest has his boxing lessons and you were thirsty. Yeah so we walked to the store and got a drink. On our way to the store, it starts raining.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Quite a bit. So we were thinking, oh well, that's okay, we can just sit back in the car and wait the rain out.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And then by the time we got out of the store it had already stopped raining. Yeah, but we sat in the car anyway.
Speaker 1We had to finish what we bought in the store.
Speaker 2Right, and then we went for a walk.
Speaker 1Yes, it was a nice walk.
Speaker 2It was a nice walk.
Speaker 1We walked and talked and, yeah, when your son was done with the boxing training, yeah, you brought him home. Then you brought me home to my place.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And there you got more birthday presents.
Speaker 2I got the Karate Kid movies.
Speaker 1Yeah, the first four.
Speaker 2Yeah, and the Drunken Master movies.
Speaker 1Yeah, the first two. There's only two, yeah.
Speaker 2So yeah, I was very happy about that.
Speaker 1Good.
Speaker 2And then we watched who Am I when I got home? Yeah, because my daughter was like I want very happy about that, good. And then we watched who Am I when?
Speaker 1I got home yeah.
Speaker 2Because my daughter was like I want to watch a movie. I was like, well, I have this one, I want to watch this one. She's like okay.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2So we watched it. Well, I watched it.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2My oldest and my daughter were like watching on and off.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2It was on.
Speaker 1Yeah, too bad, it wasn't subtitles.
Speaker 2Yeah, there weren't any subtitles, which would probably have kept my oldest attention, or at least better.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Because he was like can we have subtitles? I was like there's no subtitles.
Speaker 1But it's cool to have the Blu-ray also.
Speaker 2Yeah, I like it on my shelf.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's a pretty cool cover too. I think it's Australian, the release of the version of that, okay, but I was just expecting it to have subtitles. You just kind of assume, yeah, because I'm pretty sure I read where I bought it from that it had subtitles.
Speaker 2Sometimes so sly.
Speaker 1Yeah, stupid.
Speaker 2Stupid.
Speaker 1Anyway.
Speaker 2Yeah, today is Thursday. Yes, it is June 19th.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2And we watched movies.
Speaker 1We did.
Speaker 2Even though it's Thursday, yeah. Would you like to movie on?
Speaker 1Yeah, let's movie on Okay.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Okay, tonight we watched Good Advice.
Movie Night: "Good Advice"
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, good, and then Svensson Svensson Filmen.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm going to tell you about Good Advice. Yes, I'm going to give you Good Advice. Thank you the summary. This is a movie with Charlie Sheen. Yeah, and he's a stockbroker.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Or something.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Something like that. He makes a big move and his whole career kind of collapses on him based off of this move, and so he's jobless and his girlfriend breaks up with him and she moves to Brazil.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I need to lose weight.
Speaker 1Yeah, if, speaking, I can't breathe, this is a problem.
Speaker 2There's no air in here, and his girlfriend wrote advice for a newspaper the advice column, and pretty much Charlie Sheen takes over that and pretends that he is his girlfriend writing these columns.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And that's it.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's it yeah. He doesn't beat up bad guys no this is more of a romantic comedy, yeah. So what did you think about this movie?
Speaker 2I liked this movie.
Speaker 1You did.
Speaker 2I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1Cool.
Speaker 2John Lovitz is in this movie.
Speaker 1Yeah, he was funny. Yeah, I mean he's always funny. And also the old lady was really funny too.
Speaker 2Yeah, she had a Betty White kind of vibe, but it wasn't Betty White.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Could have been, she could have played that part.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 2But she didn't. No, what did you think about the movie?
Speaker 1I thought it was funny too. This was the first time I saw this movie.
Speaker 2Me too.
Speaker 1Yeah, very cool. But I kind of thought it was funny how it had similarities to what Women Want with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 1Because I mean.
Speaker 2He had superpowers in that one yeah.
Speaker 1But it's about a guy who's a real jerk who then gets to find a feminine side. They have to think like a feminine side.
Speaker 2They have to think like a woman. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And yeah, I feel like it really felt similar to these movies and that kind of makes me happy to have like these actors. And then just I didn't even think about that some movies would be similar. I think there might be more similarities between other movies.
Speaker 2Yeah, probably.
Speaker 1That they have made. I never got that connection before.
Speaker 2Okay, it's funny.
Speaker 1Yeah, anyhow, I really like this movie. It has very funny funny. Yeah, Anyhow, I really like this movie. It has very funny characters. Yeah, the girl, girl, girlfriend Right, who's in the Bond movie Uh-huh, bond movie. Okay, she got married to Charlie later after this movie.
Speaker 2Oh, okay.
Speaker 1I think they met during.
Speaker 2What was her name? Do you know?
Speaker 1Denise Richards.
Speaker 2Okay, what else was she in? Do you know?
Speaker 1Bond movie Right.
Speaker 2Other than the Bond movie.
Speaker 1Um which Bond movie the World is Not Enough.
Speaker 2Okay, the World is Ending.
Speaker 1No, okay, I don't know what else she's been in. Yeah, right now, oh well, but she's been in other things too, I think.
Speaker 2Okay, and she's not Demi Moore.
Speaker 1She's not. No, could have been, I guess, if she really wanted to. Yeah.
Speaker 2I mean if she was married to Bruce Willis. Yeah, then she could have been Demi Moore.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't think that happened, if she just changed her name to Demi Moore.
Speaker 2Yeah, maybe Anything else.
Speaker 1I kind of feel it was weird because this movie has an R rating and when watching this movie it really don't have to. It has some sex scenes and stuff, but those are really redundant. They really don't need those at all.
Speaker 2Yeah, and it didn't show anything.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2I didn't even see boobs in this movie.
Speaker 1No, we saw a butt.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Swedish Film: "Svensson Svensson"
Speaker 1A guy's butt? Yeah, I don't think that's in this movie.
Speaker 2No, we saw a butt, yeah, a guy's butt, yeah. I don't think that's worth an R rating, though.
Speaker 1No, he was painting though.
Speaker 2Yeah, ugh gross, okay Next movie.
Speaker 1Next movie Svensson, svensson Filmen. So this is a movie, a Swedish movie, about a family, svenson, the svenson family. And uh, okay, so the mom in this family gets a job offer to work in stockholm, the capital city, so she has to pendla. What's that? Travel, travel to work, and that makes the husband who's like a kid? Really, he's really like a kid more, he's more of a kid than the kids and he decides that they're gonna move to stockholm. He's a mailman and in stockholm no one really knows him and he somehow he people think he's like an higher up and is starting to make like ridiculous suggestions to the postal service. Yeah, that's it, and I mean it feels like it's between, I mean, the daughter in the family she has her boyfriends and the kid he has the go-kart, so they have their own thing to do in the movie.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So it's kind of split in four ways.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Is that a good summary?
Speaker 2It feels pretty good, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Oh, what do you think about this book?
Speaker 2I enjoyed this one too. Yeah, it was really funny.
Speaker 1Okay good, I was really not sure about if you were gonna like this one, because it's really talky. I mean, I don't know, it feels like they talk a lot.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But I feel it's really funny.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I just wasn't sure if you would think so, but it makes me glad that you think so.
Speaker 2Yeah, I did enjoy this one. Good, it was good. Did you like it?
Speaker 1I do like this one. Good, it was good, did you like it? I? I do like this one. Okay, uh, this is like, uh, the last week's movie, this um. This movie is based on a sitcom, in a swedish sitcom and with these characters, so I mean watching that would have been a good um backstory, but I think you you still kind of know who these people are, even though you haven't seen the sitcom, I guess yeah because I'm assuming you haven't seen this I haven't seen the sitcom and this is the first time I've seen this movie and you understood it anyways.
Speaker 1Yeah, perfect, then I'm happy. And also it has the same. I mean, the son in the family is the same as the younger brother in last week's movie.
Speaker 2And soon yeah.
Speaker 1That's all I had.
Speaker 2That's it.
Speaker 1I think so.
Speaker 2Alright, would you like to take a break?
Speaker 1Yeah, we should take a break.
Speaker 2Alright, we will be right back.
Speaker 1Yes, bye, all right. Would you like to take a break? Yeah, we should take a break. All right, we will be right back. Yes, bye, bye-bye, welcome back.

Speaker 2Yes, you are. Yeah, Mm-hmm. Also, maybe that has something to do with what we're going to talk about today.
Speaker 1Okay, yes. Maybe, Breaking ice.
Speaker 2Breaking ice. That could be something you could do when you're really warm.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2And you know it's like summertime now.

Speaker 1Yeah, have you noticed that we're watching Swedish summer movies?
Speaker 2I have. Have you noticed that it's warm outside? I?

Speaker 2And you don't tolerate summer weather very well.
Speaker 1Not, really no.
Speaker 2You're like a polar bear.
Speaker 1Yeah, I am well, not really.
Speaker 2No, you're like a polar bear yeah, I am. So I was thinking maybe I could give you some summer survival tips, or need them. For a polar bear.
Speaker 1Is that what it says?
Speaker 2Well, I wrote for someone who has zero tolerance for the sun and heat. But, now I'm wondering Summer survival tips for a polar bear. Okay, I like that better. Anyway, if a polar bear had to survive summer, especially far from the icy Arctic, it would be a total disaster. Okay, but let's go into some survival tips.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2If you were a polar bear.
Speaker 1Yeah, almost.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I'm less hairy.
Speaker 2Yeah, I guess. So A naked polar bear, number one out of eight. Okay, find the chill zones.
Speaker 1The chill zones.
Speaker 2You can spend your summer vacation hanging out in walk-in freezers, ice rinks or deep shaded caves yeah, I mean freezers. Of course I do that, I have hung out in freezers many times, mostly for crying, partly for the cookie dough don't tell anyone ice cream I didn't find the ice cream.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2But cookie dough, that's in there, it's in there. And I can still eat it even when it's frozen.
Speaker 1Hmm.
Speaker 2When I want cookie dough.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2I will eat cookie dough.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, it's almost like ice cream.
Speaker 2Yeah, but not really. It's a frozen cookie yeah.
Speaker 1AKA ice cream. Yeah it's like the same thing.
Speaker 2Yeah. Number two avoid the noon sun like a boss, Okay. If it's bright, stay out of sight. Nap during the day like a desert creature.
Speaker 1Yeah, we weren't talking about that today. That sounds like my oldest right now. Yeah, and I said that I want to wake up in the evening. Yeah, so I can spend the time at night.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And then go to bed in the morning.
Speaker 2And then, yeah, come out only at dawn or dusk. Your natural fur coat wasn't made for solar flare ups. Do you know the difference between dawn and dusk? Which one is dawn and which one is dusk?
Speaker 1Dawn is in the morning.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Dusk, I guess it's the evening.
Speaker 2Like midday.
Speaker 1Is it? I thought it was evening.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, I think you're right.
Speaker 1One is evening, one is morning.
Speaker 2Yeah, I never remembered.
Speaker 1I know that dawn is morning. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2Okay. Okay, number three. You might not agree with this, but this is what it says. Okay, water is your best friend, except I thought I was your best friend, so I don't know.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2You don't like water.
Speaker 1Well, in what way? For drinking or for, like, swimming in?
Speaker 2It says find a cold river, glacier, fed lake or personal plunge pool and splash, dunk or roll in ice whenever possible.
Speaker 1So swimming.
Speaker 2Does rolling around in ice sound like something you would want to do?
Speaker 1No, not really Okay you.
Speaker 2No, no, not at all. I mean most summers I like taking cold showers, just to cool off.
Speaker 1Yeah, it can be nice.
Speaker 2I haven't been able to get myself to take a cold shower yet this year. Okay, and I have sunburns all down my back and I still want warm water, but it burns my back. I'm going to tell you. I reburned my back three times just this week. Just today Just today, in the past hour, three times.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, and it's in the middle of the night yeah, I'm not gonna tell you how it's that bad you can mind your own business.
Speaker 2Number four style over sweat, lose the extra undercoat. You can molt your.
Speaker 1Polar bear.
Speaker 2You're a polar bear, Shave basically Okay, yeah, okay. If you're still too warm after you shave your body and remove your clothes, wear a human-invented cooling vest filled with ice packs. You also could roll around in ice.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Naked and.
Speaker 1In a river.
Speaker 2Bald in ice yeah. Naked and In a river. Bald Bald, yeah, that's an option if you feel like it would be necessary.
Speaker 1Yeah, I do most. If you're desperate, you know I do most things bald.
Speaker 2Okay, you could be more bald, because you do have hair on your face.
Speaker 1Yeah, I do, and some on my head too.
Speaker 2A little bit. Yeah, there's something there.
Speaker 1Yeah, like a crowns.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's a crown of hair.
Speaker 1Hair crown Very pretty yeah.
Speaker 2Who needs flowers when you have hair?
Speaker 1Exactly, I just want to be a polar bear.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And, by the way, like a boss, it said like a boss.
Speaker 2It did.
Speaker 1Polar bear boss.
Speaker 2You could be a boss. Wow, that's an option.
Speaker 1Could you imagine having a polar bear for boss?
Speaker 2That would be interesting. As long as they're nice, I guess it's okay. Yeah, number five.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2This is a good piece of advice, okay.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Eat cold, stay cold.
Speaker 1Okay, yes, ice cream.
Speaker 2Okay, I'm thinking ice cream, but that's not what it's suggesting, okay.
Speaker 1Hmm, fish.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's suggesting frozen fish popsicles.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Raw icy prey is preferred over anything hot or cooked.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, can it be like popsicles shaped like a fish?
Speaker 2I do prefer fish food ice cream.
Speaker 1Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 2Well, it's Ben and Jerry's and it's little fish.
Speaker 1Ah, the PH.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's fish. Shaped chocolate pieces. Yeah, okay, yeah, that works. Shaped chocolate pieces.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, yeah, that works.
Speaker 2Anyway, next.
Speaker 1Next.
Speaker 2Number six build a den in a freezer. We're still hanging out in freezers, okay. So basically this is the same as the first one. Number seven emergency polar bear go bag. Okay, it's like a first aid kit. Number seven Emergency polar bear go bag. Okay, it's like a first aid kit, not really Items to pack Refillable cooler backpack. Reusable ice packs, battery powered fan. Polar bear sized that's a really big fan. A sun hat with ear holes.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh yeah, okay yeah, mm-hmm. Oh yeah, okay, it took me a while, but yes, now I get it with ears Polar bear ears.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah. Spf 100 plus for that cute little nose SPF Sunscreen.
Speaker 1Oh, okay.
Speaker 2Sun lotion. Mm- okay, Sun lotion Just for the nose. I guess.
Speaker 1Well, if you shave, or I, as a polar bear shave, I think I might need it for my entire body.
Speaker 2Just your nose.
Speaker 1That's it. Okay, so the rest of me is going to be red. Yeah, red polar bear. Yeah, that's me to be red. Yeah, red polar bear. Yeah, that's me. That is you, red the polar bear.
Speaker 2Red the polar bear. The last thing you should pack in your emergency polar bear bag is emergency fish jerky. That doesn't sound great.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Number eight.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2You need a mental cool down picture the tundra watch, iceberg documentaries like how they're made, I guess okay and the life of an iceberg yeah, the life of an iceberg what do you think an iceberg's daily routine would look like?
Speaker 1Melting. I mean, if they ever talk about icebergs on TV, it's about the melting.
Speaker 2If I were an iceberg, I think I'd wake up, you know, in the morning.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I'd look around.
Speaker 1Yeah, chill Coast is clear, chill a little bit.
Speaker 2I'm just chilling. Oh, I'm a little sweaty.
Speaker 1Oh, I'm melting. There's a whale and now I'm a little sweaty. Oh, I'm melting.
Speaker 2There's a whale, and now I'm underwater.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm falling apart.
Speaker 2My leg. Come back, come back, and then I'd go to sleep. I guess I'm coming.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And that's my daily routine as an iceberg.
Speaker 1Yeah, and then I go to work.
Speaker 2It's a very calm life.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's very chill.
Speaker 1Huh.
Speaker 2Huh, oh yeah. This last one for the mental cool down was ignore tourists asking for selfies you don't have to take a selfie with a tourist? No, okay I don't know if they'd really be that interested in taking a selfie with a naked polar bear red a red naked polar bear um no.
Speaker 1So that polar bear would be like the reverse Rudolph.
Speaker 2Yes, everything is red except for his nose.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh yeah. I mean, I feel like most people would run if they see a polar bear, wouldn't you think?
Speaker 2I'm going to write a song for you. It's called Matias the Red-Skinned Polar Bear.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1I wonder what melody.
Speaker 2Let's see how this goes. Okay, I wonder what melody. Let's see how this goes. Okay, Matias the red-skinned polar bear had very shiny skin and if you ever saw it.
Speaker 1What.
Speaker 2Your skin. Okay, you would even say it's skin. It um, it's skin. All of the other polar bears used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor matias join in any polar bear games oh no, then one foggy christmas eve, uh, um, santa, um, santa. Yeah, okay, your friend Santa came to say that he is with your skin so bright.
Speaker 1I'm pale okay.
Speaker 2Won't you? Uh, you can lighten the world tonight with your skin because you are so bright you could be the next sun. Because you are so bright you could, you could be the next sun. Then all the polar bears loved him as they shouted out with glee matias, the red skin polar bear, you'll go down in history.
Speaker 1You're welcome very cool, did you just come up with that?
Speaker 2I did wow on the spot because I am that good. Yeah. In summary, I misread this. If you're a polar bear, as a summer job, this is simple advice Hibernate in the AC, live in the freezer and stay away from the sun. Like it owes you money.
Speaker 1Like it owes you money.
Speaker 2I guess, Okay, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1It says that yeah. Or did you come up with that?
Speaker 2that's what it says okay, um expression I have some special skills that you should develop in order to survive the summer okay, so if you're interested in this kind of information if not, please just say I don't care as a polar bear oh, as a polar bear or special skills as a polar bear, or Special skills for a polar bear to survive summer.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's how I would have put it.
Speaker 2To develop in order to survive summer.
Speaker 1See You're so good at forming sentences.
Speaker 2If a polar bear wants to survive the brutal heat of summer, especially somewhere far from blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Special skills. That's what it said. I think, I didn't actually read it. Number one out of eight.
Speaker 1A thousand.
Speaker 2One thousand Thermal regulation mastery.
Speaker 1Okay, so you can control your body heat.
Speaker 2Right. The skill is learning how to actively cool down by practice strategic waiting belly flopping into cold water and ice block hugging.
Speaker 1Belly flopping.
Speaker 2Into cold water yes, I said that and rotate between shade and shallow pools to avoid overheating.
Speaker 1No, thank you.
Speaker 2Okay, number two Hot weather, scent tracking. These are life skills okay, yeah, okay. This skill is adapting sense of smell for summer distorted air currents, so you can smell the heat coming.
Speaker 1It smells warm, it smells warm, I don't know Okay. I can sense the heat coming.
Speaker 2The heat is on.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Good song the heat is on. Yeah, um this. You can develop this skill by practice hunting in thermally variable environments like valleys or wind tunnels. Uh, you can use heat shimmer and wind direction as cues for prey detection. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2You got that.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, Number three aquatic agility training. I don't like the sound of that. No, this skill is becoming an even better swimmer in warmer waters.
Speaker 1Yeah, can't get much worse.
Speaker 2You do this by training for longer swims without rest and learn to locate cool underwater currents or deep spots for relief. You could also drown and you'll probably feel better.
Speaker 1Yeah, why not be cold?
Speaker 2That's an option. Number four tool use and shelter building. This skill is using paws and environment to modify habitat.
Speaker 1Okay, I don't know. It can be dangerous to handle some tools. You might hurt yourself with a hammer.
Speaker 2Sometimes that happens.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2You do this by digging shaded summer burrows or use debris and stones for insulation.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2You can also learn to drag tarps or branches over shelters to create artificial shade.
Speaker 1You could. If you want to Number five, oh yeah.
Speaker 2Dietary flexibility. The skill is expanding summer diet beyond seals and blubber. You need to eat something more than seals and blubber.
Speaker 1Okay, oh, I have to.
Speaker 2Yes, it's a skill you have to develop.
Speaker 1Oh, okay.
Speaker 2Learn to forage berries, fish and even human leftovers Leftover humans, which is what I got out of that, but I feel like that means like trash. Ah, okay, yeah, but when I originally said human leftovers, I assumed whatever like the wolves and stuff left yeah from eating humans yeah, and then I'm like or did it mean like poop? No no I really hope not. That's not where my brain went.
Speaker 1I went to dead people, you went to poop that was my first okay thought after no, we can't be dead people, it has to be poop Gross yeah.
Speaker 2Um number six Cooling resource identification. This skill is scouting and memorizing cold zones.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Know where the cold spots are.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, but I do that.
Speaker 2Um, you, mm-hmm, that was a, but I do that. Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1Hmm, hmm, that was a good try.
Speaker 2It was. I attempted and it didn't go great.
Speaker 1No, but it could have been worse.
Speaker 2I feel like I've done worse.
Speaker 1Yeah, and I mean I'm proud of you for trying.
Speaker 2Thank you. You use memory and spatial navigation to return to water sources or cold dens.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2I'm not reading very well. I feel like you can also watch for temperature cues from plants, terrain or water sound changes. So when the water starts sounding like ice, Changes.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, like ice.
Speaker 2Then it's probably colder. Then it shouldn't be summer, it might not be summer, that's true, but you're finding the cold spots? Yeah, so I don't know. Okay, number seven Sun avoidance intelligence. Reading sunlight patterns is that skill, mm-hmm. So know what the sun looks like? Yeah, and avoid that.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Do you think you can do that? Can you identify the sun if you looked for it?
Speaker 1If I looked for the sun.
Speaker 2Yeah, do you think that you could be like?
Speaker 1that's the sun yeah, and identify it correctly yeah, I'm looking at it right now no, that's a lamp oh, how do you know?
Speaker 2I. It's usually a big bright thing, but I know it's not a lamp oh okay, it's difficult for some people. Yeah, maybe Not everyone.
Speaker 1I will learn someday.
Speaker 2Know what shade looks like.
Speaker 1I know that.
Speaker 2Okay, okay, I think Okay.
Speaker 1That's the dark places.
Speaker 2Yeah, stay in the dark places. Yep Number eight the last one. This is the last skill you need. The last one, this is the last skill you need. Okay, emotional regulation in heat. Okay, this skill is managing irritability and stress in warmer climates. You could use this, I think. Yeah, so could I. I'm not. I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking myself too.
Speaker 1Um, if you're attacking me, you have to attack, yeah.
Speaker 2I feel like that's a requirement. Heat stress can impair decision-making, even for apex predators. You can do this by practice rest techniques in cool shade.
Speaker 1Okay, cool shade.
Speaker 2Take a nap in cool shade, not warm shade.
Speaker 1Cool shade, cool shade, learn. No, it's like the cool shade.
Speaker 2It's cool. Yeah, for cool kids.
Speaker 1Yeah, like us.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1The cool polar bears.
Speaker 2Mm.
Speaker 1Cooler bears.
Speaker 2Cooler bears.
Speaker 1But I call them us.
Speaker 2Oh, is that our gang name?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Cooler bears. Yeah, join our gang, the Cooler Bears.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2We eat ice cream when we're not supposed to because we're rebels.
Speaker 1Yep and drink monsters.
Speaker 2Yeah, or Something, something Beverages.
Speaker 1Energy drinks.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can also learn calming behaviors like slow pacing, gentle swimming or playing with ice.
Speaker 1Playing with ice.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, that could be fun.
Speaker 1It's a lot of swimming.
Speaker 2Lots of swimming and ice.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm okay with ice, but I don't like swimming.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1That's all I had.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's pretty good good advice, okay, good um did you hear that? What good advice yeah, oh, wow, that that was a reference to the movie that we watched today yeah called good advice yeah, spencer, spen oh wow, that was another reference.
Speaker 1It's difficult to get in a sentence, but yeah.
Speaker 2I want to throw in one other piece of advice.

Speaker 2You won't. I should, you, should, you're gonna On my nose. On your nose, anything else. Did you want to add anything?
Speaker 1A question Do you wear sunscreen?
Speaker 2Usually I try to when I know that I am intentionally going out into the sun, like on the beach or something, okay. But this week, this week, this week I'm sad. This is a sad story, okay, no, it actually kind of is a sad story Because this week I'm.
Speaker 1You weren't at the beach.
Speaker 2I wasn't at the beach. I wasn't at the beach. I had planned on wearing sunscreen while being outside, but I couldn't find it until today sad it was right next to my jacket okay, the whole time so yeah, okay I could have taken it, but but so close. I couldn't find it. It was right there.
Speaker 1Yeah, couldn't see it, it was too close.

Speaker 1Okay, so what's ruining my life? It's going to be about my work life, because that's where I spend most of my time At work, and the people planning over there, the planning people they oh, like scheduling and stuff. Yeah, yeah. They don't give me the tasks I want to do, so, and that disappoints me and I don't like it, so that's probably what's ruining my life. I can't think of anything else, so do better.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That's what I tell those people.
Speaker 2Good, they should do better. Yeah, that's the only option right now.
