Max, David, and Mars Bar,
First of all, I love the pod. I’m a literature teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and our summer break is fast approaching. I mention this because as I created a vocabulary review for the end of the year, I came across a word that seemed extremely relevant for your podcast. The word is “nudiustertian” and it means “the day before yesterday.” It seems apt since there is the constant temptation to reference things that are nudiustertian in many of your episodes.
PS.
Max- keep up the boring energy. As a new dad myself, I’ve found that the everyday routine is so mundane, that even boring things seem exciting and important. Eg. A very particular and specific coffee order. Overall, boring energy” is really just about perspective. Getting a coffee at a coffee shop? In my life now, that’s exciting! Because otherwise I’m probably sorting through a pile of laundry- folding and separating 20 onesies based on if they are “6 months” in size or “6-9 months” in size, Possibly, I’m washing what feels like the 50th bottle or baby spoon of the day… Anyway, thanks for the distraction through the tedious chores!
