0:00.0	I think I saw a, like, toilet seat, bidet situation that scans your poop to let you know if there's, like, a health concern.
0:08.0	Absolutely not.
0:09.4	No, you're, no.
0:11.0	Are you serious?
0:14.6	Welcome back, everybody, to older and wilder with Joy and Claire.
0:18.8	Today, it's Scott's birthday, the one and only Scott Parish.
0:25.5	Happy birthday, Scott, who doesn't listen to this podcast, but that's kind of a good thing because
0:30.5	sometimes he, sometimes I think he'd be like, why did you talk about that? So last night he went to
0:35.9	Metallica. Oh. He is still sleeping, so I'm sure
0:39.3	he got in really late. These are the times when we really miss living close to downtown,
0:43.3	because just to get to the Bronco Stadium is where it was. He was like, I really miss being like
0:50.6	five minutes from every venue. Right.
0:56.5	Like I know, but we don't do it often.
0:58.4	Just remember it's not all the time.
1:01.5	But we were so spoiled living where we used to live.
1:02.8	You really were, yeah.
1:04.2	So, so spoiled.
1:09.4	So yeah, he went to Metallica last night with his bestie and they had a really good time.

It's like you have to kind of see Metallica. Like you just have to. And he asked if I wanted to go. I'm surprised he hadn't seen them. Yeah. He asked if I wanted to go. And this is where I'm like, if it was, if it was another time where we didn't have dogs that we had to manage and we're so far away, that's like a good chunk of time. We really can't leave Lila for that long. Like Joe and JT, I think it would have been totally fine, but Lila's still a baby and we can't leave her for that long. So I was like, I'll stay home, go with your bestie. And also, I don't know if I want to be out till one in the morning. Like I think it would be like one of those Pearl Jam chaos moments where I'd be panicking at midnight. And you don't have an out. I don't have an out. And I'm looking at the train and I'm like, it's 1230.
2:01.3	You know what I mean?
2:02.2	Like I just start to panic.
2:04.3	For better for worse, that's just who I am.
2:06.0	So he had a great time.
