Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Would have been better for yesterday.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is

Morning Somewhere!

For May 22nd, 2020,

2025, my name is Bernie Burns, sitting right over there. She is not going to be doing this in 2030. It's Ashley Burns. Say hi to Ashley, everybody.

You think I have a five-year plan? I don't have a one-year plan. Did you ever sit down with a manager? And they're like, so what's your five-year plan? You go, uh, I mean, I don't, I guess like this, except like more money.

You pay me more?

Ashley, occasionally we'll talk about things, and it makes me realize just how different two married people can be to one another.

I've had a five-year plan at every point of my life.

There's points in time where I'm thinking more about five years from now than I'm thinking about the current moment. I have to correct myself all the time. Do you ever go to like check your five-year plan and see if you're like ahead or behind? It's not like that. I don't have like bullet points or anything like that. Look, you need to be happy that I don't have a five-year plan because it allows you to go and do things like,

hey, babe, you need to be happy that I don't have a five-year plan because it allows you to go and do things like, hey, babe, you want to move to Scotland? Which I've been thinking about for five years already. Right, and then I go, yeah, sounds like fun, let's go. Yeah, yeah. After suggesting the boat and you said, absolutely not. I'm not going to live on a sailboat or whatever. Scotland does sound sane in comparison. That was just the, that was the rabbit

of leading you into the correct decision. Yeah, but I, no, I had been working on this plan

for probably more than a decade. In fact, somebody went back, really weird set of

coincidences, which is very appropriate for this week because I feel like this week is a week where a lot of different threads in my life that I've been looking at for a long time are all seemingly coming together at the same time. It's really strange.

But somebody went back and listened to one of the, or listened to one of the old RT podcasts.

And apparently in that podcast,

we talk about you for the first time ever as a frag doll.

We mentioned you by name.

And in that same one,

I talked about eventually moving to Scotland.

Like, I was a very big deal.
