| 0:17.4 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to That's the Point podcast. Happy Wednesday. We've missed you. We love you. And that's the point. And that's the point. How are you doing today, John? Thank you, Kristen. I'm doing quite well. How are you? I'm doing really good. Yeah. You are? Yeah, like I'm on my second cup of coffee. Oh. I have lots to talk about. Oh. Life is feeling crisp. You know what? That just reminded me of when you said, how are you doing? The Megan Markle interview when she goes, how are you doing and are you okay? I didn't see that. What? Wait, is it the Megan Markle interview that's kind of cringe? |
| 0:56.0 | With the blonde podcaster girl? |

| 0:58.6 | The memes are just so funny on that and I feel like people are. |

Here's the thing, though, about Shannon is like she's not dramatic in the way of like coming back to America and like pretending like culture shock is crazy. Like I love people like that. She just is like, yeah, I lived here my whole life. |
| 2:01.0 | Like, I'm not, it's nothing's crazy. |
| 2:03.0 | She's like the food is amazing. |
| 2:04.3 | But it's not like she's just like, a sidewalk, a building. |
| 2:08.3 | You know, like I would act like that. |
| 2:10.0 | Yeah, I'd be like touching the grass and be like the first American grass is so long. |
