Transcript: Season 2, Episode 16



Welcome back to that talking thing. I'm Kim I'm Jason. This is episode 16, season two. We have a couple of life topics and, um, I have kind of a sensitive question coming up in the second half of this episode, but we'll start with maybe an easier one, uh, where man, it's springtime here. And we had a couple of nice days today was a little chillier, but every time we have like nice spring days, I think there's places on earth where the weather is always like this.



Like why do we wear it sometimes cold and sometimes oppressively hot. So, uh, what do you think about that? Like, you know, about choosing to live here for school? Hold on. I thought this topic was about seasons and our podcasts because about actual seasons. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. Well, we live in a temperate climate.



We live in the Northeast in Pennsylvania, in the United States. So we do have four seasons. We have we're currently entering spring. I know. Is it starting this weekend is the 21st or something like that? I think it's starting this weekend. Okay. Yeah. And then we'll have summer, then we'll have fall, then we'll have winter.



Um, I like living where there's seasons. Yeah. I think that they're just the right amount of time that you are getting kind of sick of that weather and ready for it to get to a new temperature. Yeah. I used to think so. I think so. I don't know if I think so. I used to think so. And I don't know if I think so anymore.



Cause like in the winter time it gets cozy, you know, or like I really appreciate the fall because the summer is so hot. Um, and do we need that kind of change to really appreciate it or people who live in like San Diego, just like, dude, it's always nice to know. Are you talking about like, I ride my bike whenever I want, but we get to have a variety of activities.



We get to have like a winter sport and it's summer sports and you know how much we love sports. Yeah. And think would do it, had to take that much advantage on it. I don't know. But yeah, we got a lot of, uh, good growing seasons here in Pennsylvania. So we get. Yeah, we have a lot of farming and backyard farms, but also gardens and different kinds of farms.



Yeah. In a tropical climate where it's the same all the time. It's always the same kind of produce that's in season versus here. We're in spring, we're having like broccoli, cauliflower, beets, spinach, all these kind of cool weather crops will translate into summer when we'll have fresh tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, all local.



If you're trying to minimize your impact on the world with the food and travel, and this is kind of a privileged conversation of, we can choose to live somewhere else. We work from home, not everyone does, but I think some part of our audience is. Couples who are working together potentially remotely and do have this option.



Um, and we, we choose to live here because our family is around here. Like I like being near our friends and our family who happened to live around here. Yeah. Um, but sometimes it's tempting to, you know, There's no way to really test this is their go live somewhere for a year or something. Yeah. Oh, it has to be a whole year.



Cause the whole point is like you would get tired of, you have to break through and never end your summer. This is maybe where, if the folks who are watching on YouTube and stuff,
