If you want to stop me, you're going to have to fucking kill me!

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up!

Good morning to you wherever you are because it is

Martin Summer for January 10th, 2024. My name is Bernie Burns with me sitting right over there,

back from 300 days in space, Ashley Burns. How you doing? I am a drone. Thank you.

Good morning. Are you staying very warm today, Ashley, because it's cold everywhere.

No, well, you know what I like is when I look out the window and it's frosty as fuck.

And I'm inside with a coffee and a blanket and slippers and stuff going, yeah, fuck off weather.

Ashley grew up in the mountains of Utah. I was born in upstate New York and Rochester where we had tons of snow. We had what they call lake effect snow. I thought that was unique to like that part of New York, upstate New York, but apparently you have lake effect snow. I guess anywhere where there's a lake and the wind comes across and dump snow when it comes and hits the coast or hits the shore.

I guess I was associated Utah's weather more with the mountains because it's right there.

It's rocky mountains and a lot of weather would hit the mountains and basically get stuck, dump its load, and then get lighter.

Go ahead.

Make it up lower the mountains.

So basically the clouds shit on us all the time.

But I lived in Austin for a long time. Texas, from when I was in high school on, basically, middle school on.

And so I didn't have any seasons for a long time.

So I'm actually glad to hear that you like having cold weather and warm weather that you can enjoy both.

Yeah, I do like having seasons now because there's always something starts to get a little bit monotonous. You move into the next season and things change.

And it's just kind of nice. It's something that I didn't like as much when I was younger because I

like to be like, no, I want to live somewhere warm and I want it to always be warm, get bent.

But now I like having things that change around all the time.
