Welcome back, everybody, to Older and Wilder with Joy and Claire. We made it. We made it through January, Claire.

We made it through January. Shit's happening. I have a ghost today. I have an absolute ghost.

But not like a literal, like a ghost is messing with you. A ghost is messing with me today. I am convinced. And also maybe it's a, maybe it's the full moon. I don't know. Oh yeah, full moon. We're recording this on Sunday, as we often do. You woke up, you were just telling me and there were fire alarm. Smoke alarms were, the smoke detectors were going off. Not like, because they're out of battery. Yeah, yeah. It was the chirp, chirp, where it's like, beep, every 30 seconds or like a minute or whatever. And you have to just like walk around your house. Yes. Like a crazy person waiting, like waiting for it to go off and then like... Figure it's like the most insane game of Marco Polo ever. Yes, exactly that. And so I wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. because J.T. boops me because he doesn't like

these sounds, even though it's just a chirp. It's not the whole alarm going off. Oh, yeah, but no. He's like, ma'am, this is something's happening here. He's like, this is very annoying. Can you please deal with this. JT does not do well with any type of alarms, noises, chirps. So I get up and I'm like,

okay, well, Petra just said our smoke alarms

went off this morning to the full alarm. What is happening? I swear, I swear. Okay, so it's chirping,

it's chirping. I'm figuring out what the heck is going on. I have to figure out which, you know,

this is a new house. So I don't know. I'm like,

okay, where are all the smoke detectors? Like I've seen them, but like which rooms have them? And we have like, we need like a diagram. Yeah. We have at least five upstairs. So like I'm walking around the upstairs. And then I'm also like, okay, is it downstairs? So finally figure out, finally like like localized which smoke detector it is okay hold on I'm getting a vision okay um

do you remember the part in the parent trap where the where Meredith like the young

wife is like walking around clacking the sticks together yes yes yes yes yes that's pretty much

what I'm imagining you doing while you're looking for the smoke alarms it's like cluck

yeah oh my gosh,

that's such a good visual. So I am trying to figure out where it is, finally figure it out, and I'm Googling, I mean, this is all at 4 a.m. And so the dogs are up and the dogs are like, it's breakfast time, because like usually when we get up, so the dogs are like, woohoo. Everyone's freaking out.

Lila's in heat.

So she's like,

I gotta change her diaper because she,

you know,

whatever. Like, woohoo. Everyone's freaking out.

Lila's in heat.

So she's like, I had to change her diaper because she, you know, whatever.

It was a thing.
