| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello, good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. I guess depending on whatever time you're listening |
| 0:23.0 | to this, good day, good night, but it's morning for me here and it is definitely fall. |
| 0:31.6 | I am wearing an air-knit sweater. I'm drinking a DIY pumpkin spice latte and it's crispy outside. It's |
| 0:42.6 | kind of cold. Leaves are still kind of green. We're not getting like peak fall foliage yet, |
| 0:48.5 | but I'm definitely fall core at the moment. And I just want to say that like I've learned recently pumpkin spice |
| 0:56.9 | lattes. Pumpkin spice doesn't have any actual pumpkin in it. Doodun. Okay, I feel like this is |
| 1:04.4 | probably like common knowledge, but pumpkin spice is literally just nutmeg and cinnamon cloves, I think maybe. |
| 1:12.2 | But yeah, it's just like a spice mix that goes into making a pumpkin pie. |
| 1:19.9 | So originally pumpkin spice stood for like pumpkin pie spice, like a blend used for. |
| 1:27.0 | You know what I'm talking about, like those |

| 1:34.5 | pie spice blend, and then shove it into the oven, you're ready to go. I've never made a pumpkin |
| 1:39.4 | pie and I feel like that oversimplified everything. But yeah, pumpkin pie spice got short into pumpkin |
| 1:46.1 | spice and that's where we got all this crazy misinformation that pumpkin spice has pumpkin |
| 1:54.0 | in it. Anyways, so I've been feeling so, so relaxed. Fall is my favorite season. I also found out my |
| 2:03.2 | Saturn return doesn't come for another two years. So I'm in the clear for now if any of my |
| 2:07.7 | listeners out there are astrology heads. I originally thought that a Saturn return is like |
| 2:13.5 | everyone's 27th birthday and then someone told me that that's not true and it just like |
| 2:18.1 | depends what your specific Saturn placement is and so I looked it up I did my little chart thing again |
| 2:23.4 | and my Saturn return is not supposed to come to 2026 so I have like another couple years of relaxation |
| 2:29.6 | a rest and relaxation but back to fall I feel like fall has definitely the best PR, especially |
| 2:36.0 | in the on the East Coast and especially in New York City, because first of all, I also learned |
