Hello, we're here for more happier. A podcast where we get more happier. Hello Elizabeth.

0:20.3

Hi, Grotch. Today we'll talk about some exciting news from the world of Fantasy Island and we will talk about some aspects of working from home happily.

0:30.1

So, Grotch, before we dive in anything to report, well, first of all, I wanted to let you know I'm wearing my salt t-shirt that you gave me for good, I feel like it's my good luck t-shirt.

0:40.5

So salt, my one word theme. So if people are watching on YouTube, I just flashed it. Well, Grotch, and while we're talking about what we're wearing,

0:47.9

if also people on YouTube, I'm wearing Adam gave me a smile necklace for my birthday. So it's a Tiffany smile. So you can know. So it's fun. Yes.

0:59.3

Okay, let's both take pictures of it and we'll put it in the show notes. Okay. And I know you're wearing a colored shirt because that's what your costume designer told us where.

1:07.9

But also, Elizabeth, I was thinking about this because from time to time we get emails from people who are like,

1:12.9

I don't know if you know that it's not grammatical to say we're happier, but it's not and it really bugs me. And so we get that it's not grammatical.

1:21.9

We find it funny. Yes.

1:24.6

And in one sense, you can use it in a way that's not un grammatical, which is you're getting more happier with Gretchen Rubin. So in that way.

1:33.1

But as somebody pointed out at the end, we say, oh, are you feeling more happier? There, it's clearly wrong.

1:38.3

And Elizabeth, I think in the interest of respecting people who love good grammar, which of course we applaud people who love good grammar.

1:46.8

We'll drop it. No. Like we thought it was funny.

1:49.9

Well, I don't know. If I know it's buggy people, I don't want to do it. What do you think?

1:55.0

No, I disagree. I love it. You love it. Yes. I think they'll just feel better knowing that we know.

2:03.2

Okay, they that we know we've acknowledged it. Or maybe I won't do it in you well. So we'll go through the circuit.

2:08.9

But I don't know because it is one of those things where sometimes the repetition is humor and the more you do something, the funnier it gets.

2:16.4

But then sometimes knowing that somebody is grimacing can make a lesson. So I don't know. Okay. We'll we'll we'll

2:22.4

It's all noted. We will ponder. It's all noted. Okay. So we are aware that more happier is not grammatically correct.

2:30.6

So everyone can breathe. That's really that's what we thought me.

2:36.0

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well speaking of whether or not good grammar makes us happier. Oh, it's what is making you more happier.

2:44.3

Oh, there we go. What's up? We just all over this podcast. It's all over the place. Okay. Well, excise it.
