Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Middle Ground and more importantly our bonus episode.

Woohoo!

Which was well earned this week, I guess.

Caroline has been having technical difficulties. Yes. Or we have been having tech, not Caroline individually. We have and we are back and I'm Caroline. I feel bummed about the lost episode. It's gone. I feel like it was a good one. Yeah. We're going to have to hit that topic again. Yeah, we will. It's a secret. It's a secret.

No one gets to know. How's your week, Ben? What's your grounding moment? Um, week's been good.

Grounding moment is, um, yesterday. Chris, um, had his friend over Jake, who we love, and they cook dinner

for me. And they do that like probably once every two weeks. He comes over with his dog. And Frankie and the dog are like besties. Do you still have the rover dog? No, we don't stop the rover dog. She went home. He went home. Oh, he went home. Okay. Yeah, she picked him up. And yeah, Zela is this dog. And it's like a German Shepherd mix. She's really cute. But they're like,

Frankie is like besties with this dog and Jake. Like, it's so obsessed with Jake. Anyways, but it's

always a good time when they come over because they make like an amazing meal and I just like

sit there and do nothing. I still have gotten zero meals prepared by Chris and I talk

about it every time because of all the people in the world who would appreciate being cooked for,

I think I'm number one. You can come over any time. I'm like, I will give you my credit card. You go

grocery shopping and do your thing. Like, you can come over any time.

The only thing is we need a dining room table, which I said on this, but that is on our list

to get because we want a host, but like we literally just all eat out of the couch,

which is no one complains and it's fine.

But I would love to have a dining room table.

But anyways, yeah, like my brother's sister, not brother's sister, my brother's girlfriend

says the same thing.

My brother's girlfriend says the same thing.

She's like, you guys have never cooked for us.

I'm like, I don't cook.
