Hi there, I'm Lale Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate world life encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

of a wilderness adventure. eBay, it's a place to fall in love with new pre-loved vintage and rare

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay.

Things people love.

How much longer are you guys in school?

Today's the big day.

I took Ollie, since I couldn't take him this morning, he had to be entrusted with bringing the present to his teacher. But he's a curious man. So he's like, what's in this present? I was like, it's a water bottle and some jam. Two types of jam. And what did you think? And he was like, okay. And he starts swinging the bag around. And I was like, now, do you think she would like getting two things of jam and a water bottle? Or a bad bag of broken shards of glass covered in jam? Yeah, it's so funny. I literally was just driving past school and people were bringing their flowers and their things. And I was thinking, oh, remember that? Like every year, you're like, oh, geez, what the hell do I give the teacher? I noticed a weird thing this morning, reading in print. Yeah. The A section of the Washington Post has not a single story about Donald J. Trump. Can that be? I couldn't figure out if this was like an artifact. I literally had to check the date on the top.

I was like, is this an artifact from the past or the future?

The Times today actually has two front page print Trump stories.

Excellent stories.

They also have, though, apropos of what you're talking about, an op-ed piece,

but I think it's by David Brooks saying, I will not let Trump infiltrate my brain. Good luck. It's been awful to see. It's kind of like the return of some kind of pandemic here.

Don't you guys remember back to like that period right after he left office and after the second impeachment. And people are like, oh, yeah,

we're done with that. And I remember like saying like, I totally get why it is much better for

your quality of life to pretend that Donald Trump is gone and banished. But you realize like he's

actually not gone and banished. And I actually don't know where I come down on this issue, right?
