What's Poppin everybody?

Hello and welcome to popcorn culture.

My name is Ben Carlin and I am your host. Here with me. Today's my brother Jay, who will be in every episode? I am. Yeah, I'm here again. And you know what? Last week we ended up spending basically the whole episode talking about my trip to 30A. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The 30A. Yeah. To 30A, Ben. Mr. Jay's worst week ever a la Mr. Frumble. Yeah, Mr. Frumble in his pickle car. Yeah. It was like a bunch of pancakes on his head or something. Something like that. I mean, surely at some point in time. Yeah. Maybe some, maybe some like poorly sliced avocado toast. Yeah, exactly. Yes, probably. Right, right. I mean, do you like you like Richard Scarry was such a thing when

we were kids and I don't feel like it's anywhere now you know you brought that up last week so

we were talking about mr. Fumble's Worst Day Ever which is a book that we loved when we

were kids because we thought it was hilarious I actually wrote an entire like personal

cartoon called like box man the adventures of box man or something like that and i'm i'm

pretty sure that the singular inspiration for it was mr frumble's it was a mr frumble ripoff i i mean

i don't know like a rip off a strong word like an homage yeah yeah yeah exactly i was inspired by

you know mr rumble i wrote it in like fourth grade. It was great. Yeah.

But anyway, so what, I mean, now that you've had like, I don't know, like an hour since we last recorded to reflect on your, your week off, how do you feel about it? I mean, I feel really good about it. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was great. Like the, you know, we had our trials and tribulations on the trip, but honestly,

like I am only, I don't like, I'm only remembering having fun on it. Like it was, you know, the problems weren't like, they were like hurdles, but they weren't like, like, oh, this ruined my day. Sure. Kind of thing. And then, and then we came home, because we came home on like Tuesday, we had like a nice little staycation afterwards as well to like just sort of like relax and be at home and like just not have any

like worries or anything yeah which is really nice i mean i feel like more and more the the phrase

like i need a vacation from my vacation is coming up and i mean i like i get it you know because

so often like especially like when we do like our disney trips it like, you get down there and it's, like, it's, it's not even like high octane or anything like that, but you're, you're up early, you have long days. You're walking 20,000 plus steps a day. You're eating a weird diet. You've got your kids who are all sort of, like, in varying stages of stages of either just like in states of sheer elation or exhausted from the heat.

You know, like there's there's a lot of moving parts that you're kind of like constantly balancing inside of those those particular journeys.

Yeah, there's like a real like determination uh, determination to like maximize your time on

vacation. Yes. Yeah. Like, which is probably like born of the like like a, uh, maybe maybe a lack of

vague, you know, maybe not enough like people don't have enough vacation time. Yeah. So that it's like,

oh, well, when I've got it i may i got to

make sure i'm really using it and that ends up resulting in like not being super relaxing

ultimately no i mean it's very true like you know like i don't know what the average time off per
