Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.

Hey, this is Griffin McElroy.

And this is wonderful.

This is a podcast where we talk about things we like that's good that we're into. And we formally welcome you into it. And that's, if you're a vampire, that's important. Did you know that if vampire can't listen to a podcast? Do you think they've been turning on the podcast and then having to turn it off? I guess that's a good point. How's the vampire going to know that they've been invited unless they've listened to it? It probably burns, right? So it's like burning them a little bit. And they're like, oh, God, certainly they're going to welcome us in at some point. They just go through like the podcast app and they're like, oh, maybe one of these one day will invite me. Well, consider yourselves invited vampires. I don't understand the downside of vampirism. Obviously, the sunlight thing's not

great, but to turn into a bat and fly away, hello. Do you have any small wonders in love? I was thinking

about this on my way home from work.

So this is kind of related to Daniel Tiger.

Oh, sure.

One, our son at age four has returned to Daniel Tiger.

Thank Christ.

But we're being very cautious about it.

Griffin and I are very careful anytime Gus expresses an interest in something that is age appropriate. Wholesome? Yeah. But part of it reminds me of this song that he, I think, maybe invented. If he didn't invent it, I don't think I want to know. Okay. But he has this song called I Can Do It Lonely.

I Can Do It Lonely?

There was a time when he needed to go downstairs to get something, and I was trying to encourage him to do it by himself.

And I think he was a little scared to do it.

And he was like, oh, I can just sing my song.

I can do it lonely.

And I was like, oh, my God. That's too pure and good, babe. I'm obsessed with that. Like, that is, I mean, one, the most emo thing I've ever heard. Oh, God, yes. But also just like a very sweet lesson to take with you your whole life. I can do it lonely. I can do it lonely. But I can also do it.

Ideally, he won't be lonely. Obviously, he's substituted by myself with lonely. You know, like those things like going to the movie theater or going out to dinner, like sometimes the stuff that

you're afraid to do if you're by yourself. I can do it lonely. I can do it lonely. There's no law against doing it lonely. The song, by the way, is just that phrase. I don't think there are other words. Yeah. Well, I'll put some, you know, I'll get, I'll get the guys in the studio. I did a big bike ride today to pick Henry up from his camp because traffic is such a disaster.

How was it? It was great. And my small wonder is when it's super hot because it's like 94 degrees

or something out there and going a long bike ride and you get super sweaty. But then when the bike's
