Erica, you inspired me this holiday season.

You inspired me.

I inspire many.

You inspire many.

And honestly, you inspire me every day.

You inspired me to live my life to the fullest every day.

In a phrase that I have coined and absolutely made up on my own.

Live mas, Paul.

That was an answer on my crossword puzzle this morning on the New York Times mini.

So if anyone does the New York Times mini, you now know the exact day that we are recording this.

Oh, Livmas. I did that last night. You're right. That might be why that was in my head.

Okay, so I had an eye doctor appointment this past week. It's been a long couple of months. Like, I want to book a massage. That would be really cool. But the only time I could book a massage, it was basically budding right up against the eye doctor appointment. I could have been on time for the eye doctor appointment if everything went right. Everything smooth. And, you know, nothing ever goes right. So I was like, I'm booking this with like the full knowledge that I would be like five or 10 minutes late. I was like, no, I can't do it because I'll be late for my eye doctor appointment. And then I thought of you. And I thought of you making fun of me. And I thought of you saying, bitch, be 10 minutes late once on our rope episode. And I was like, bitch, I am going to be 10 minutes late once because I, I recognize that like five or 10 minutes late is not a big deal. And I did it. Yay! Did it ruin the massage for you, though? I worry ruined the massage for you, that you had to sit, that you were tense the whole time going, oh my God, I'm going to be five minutes late. The massage therapist was like, your calves were really tense. But I, I, it was kind of like, and you're like, do you mean taught? Taut? Because I will be power walking the second you take your hands off me and I get dressed again. No, but it was a, it was like a meditation thing. You know, in a meditation, they're like, when your thoughts go to something else, just let that go and return to the present time. Like, that's what I was doing. Did that happen 18 to 27 times? Yes, it absolutely did in the 45 minutes that I was to massage. But I kept letting it go. So you and support. Thank you.

Thank you for that. Now, to be clear, I was exactly on time.

Which is five minutes late for you. Which is, in fact, five minutes late.

That's true.

Hi. That's true. Hey, I'm Paul.

And I'm Erica.

And this is That Aged Well.

Let's your name is pop culture today. And this is the zombie week in between Christmas and New Year's. Were you visited by three ghosts last night? Because that was unsettling. Oh yeah. I didn't care for it. And frankly, I didn't feel like I deserved it. I did not feel like I deserved it. Same. I was like, you know, okay, yeah, I did burn down that orphanage, but...

But I atoned and I confessed. In my defense, the building was ugly. So...

I was inside. It was a fire trap. All the orphans got out, so I actually saved them from

potentially dying
