Peter
00:10-00:14
Welcome back to Generations. I am one of your co-hosts, Peter.

Aubrey
00:15-00:17
And I am your other co-host, Aubrey.

Peter
00:17-00:19
Aubrey, how are you?

Aubrey
00:19-00:31
I'm pretty good, you know. Um, it's coming up pretty soon. The wedding is coming up very soon, so you know, just I'm just really locking in on all the last-minute things.

Peter
00:26-00:27
It is.

Aubrey
00:31-00:54
And I'm like, oop, I forgot this. Oop, I forgot this. Oop, I forgot this too. And just everything I made. I made this is absolutely one thousand percent a joke, but I made this joke to Hayden today where I was like, Man, I'm so excited we g we're getting married so the wedding planning can be over And also 'cause we'll be married, which is good too.

Peter
00:51-00:54
No. I believe that.

Aubrey
00:55-00:57
But it's it's a lot.

Peter
00:57-01:12
I will tell you at some point I think I might have not not during the whole preparation for your wedding, but at some point in the past, I think I said to your mom, and sort of jokingly, and now I go, maybe I wasn't joking.

Aubrey
01:03-01:04
Mm-hmm.

Peter
01:12-01:21
That was just like, you know, if our kids just wanted to elope, I'd just be like, here's $10,000 in cash. Go elope. Tell me when it's done.

Aubrey
01:22-01:38
Yeah, and you know, Hayden and I had thought about maybe doing that, but I also you know, all the other reasonings why people decide to have a regular wedding and not eloping were the re you know, but I was like, man, that would be so easy That would be so easy.

Peter
01:32-01:33
Of course.

Aubrey
01:39-01:43
You just need your fits, the people, the destination, go.

Peter
01:43-01:46
Yep, yep, that's true.

Aubrey
01:43-02:25
The person to marry, go. But yeah, it's it's good, obviously. I'm very, very excited. And Obviously, I'm very, very excited, but there's um, I'm just getting like decision fatigue where it's just like another thing to decide, where it's like a small thing that probably it probably doesn't matter whether or not you pick. This or this, but it's still a decision you have to make, and so it's just like it feels like one million times a day. I'm like, okay, I have to pick this or this, and then ask Hayden his opinion. chances are he doesn't really care and he just wants me to pick, so then I will pick. Which is absolutely valid. But it's just a lot of decisions to make.

Peter
02:24-02:44
No, it is. And you're right. Decision fatigue is a real thing. I mean, it's one of the whole reasons why when you look at people who talk about Or even the idea of habits that we talked about a little bit ago. The idea behind those things is that you're not making the decisions anymore.

Aubrey
02:44-02:46
Right, it's just the reaction.

Peter
02:44-02:53
People talk about laying out your workout clothes the night before so that when you get up in the morning, you don't even have to make that decision.

Aubrey
02:48-03:05
Yep. Don't have to pick it. Yep. Breaking down the barriers to get to the things you need to get to and decisions are always a pretty big barrier, but but it's good and you know, it's for good things.

Peter
03:04-03:06
Right, absolutely.

Aubrey
03:06-03:48
So yeah, so I'm very excited and obviously the big things are all set. Obviously, we're like twenty seven days out as of this recording. Um and it is very like it's just very feels very real now because everything Like again, the big things are done, and now it's just the little things that I just have to do. But but yeah, my maid of honor and Hayden's best man, and our bridal party threw us a bachelor-bachelorette party in Vegas the other weekend. So We came back from that. Um, it was super fun. It was so hot, though, and so dry.

Peter
03:45-03:46
I bet.

Aubrey
03:48-04:09
Like, I we stepped off, like, the Um, airplane, and I was like, oh, I need chapstick immediately. Like, it feels like it just like sucks the air. From your skin and like your lips and your body immediately, because it and I just have gotten used to the humidity out here.

Peter
04:08-04:09
Sure.

Aubrey
04:09-04:15
And where it kind of just feels a little muggy all the time. And obviously New Hampshire was like that too.

Peter
04:15-04:15
Yep.

Aubrey
04:15-04:38
And I, like, stepped off the airplane and I was like, Whoa, all of a sudden I'm Need some water. But it was super fun. Felt very special, and everyone was just, yeah, it was great. Had a lot of Costco mac and cheese and Costco pizzas and there's a pool at the Airbnb, so we literally just like stayed in the pool all day.

Peter
04:35-04:36
There you go.

Aubrey
04:38-04:56
I went to the boys went to Cirque de Soleil show. Um, we went to a magic show, went to d went out to dinner and stuff, um, combined and separate. So, it was fun. We wanted to do like a combined one because I'm sorry, but after four years of long distance I don't really want to do anything apart by choice anymore.

Peter
04:56-04:58
Yeah, that makes sense.

Aubrey
04:57-05:26
And I still get like my my body subconsciously, like around this time of year is where we have to like go back to school anyways. So around this time of year, my body literally thinks That Hayden's just gonna leave me, and then I just won't see him for months. And I'm so I'm like, feel like I have to like soak up every second I have to be with him because I feel like He's about to be ripped from me.

Peter
05:25-05:26
Yeah, I believe that.

Aubrey
05:26-05:44
Which I don't think that PTSD will leave for a while. But it's yeah. But anyway, it's things are good, you know. I'm again super excited to for wedding and everything. So yeah, I've been pretty good. But how are you?

Peter
05:45-06:51
I am hanging in there. Things at work the last week and a half have been really rough for reasons that I don't think it's appropriate for me to share on the podcast. I'll just say, you know, it's dealing with something that I have not really had to deal with before at work. Part of that is the nature of the kind of doctor that I am. But it has been it's been tough, and it has lingered with me this last week and a half in such a way that It sort of appears in surprising situations. I feel like I'm fine, and then all of a sudden I am very much not fine. But, you know, that's okay. We're still doing the stuff. It y you you've got the wedding. It's like we've got the little blip of your brother coming home from his mission before the wedding that that That's the next thing that we're looking at: is, oh, okay, we're going to have Alex here at home again, something we haven't had for a couple of years.

Aubrey
06:41-06:52
Yeah, yeah. Right, right. Yeah.

Peter
06:52-07:04
Oh, we are going to need, you know, for me, I'm like, I gotta get another car and um Oh my gosh.

Aubrey
07:01-07:06
Only the one millionth car you've had to kill in the recent years.

Peter
07:06-07:58
So all of these other little things that I'm looking at, and the wedding is definitely there, but it's like there's all this stuff I gotta think about before we get to the even the wedding. So so but no, no, we're we're we're hanging in there. But But because of all of this, we kind of thought today we would talk about what are we doing to deal with the stress or the tough times. whether it's getting ready for your wedding or if it's, for example, you know, how am I what am I doing to kind of cope with Some tough and traumatic. I mean, honestly, the more I think about it for me, the term we use in medicine is secondary trauma. And I have experienced significant secondary trauma. And that's something we have to cope with. So, how do we do that? So, what are you doing?

Aubrey
07:58-07:58
Yeah.

Peter
07:59-08:22
What are you doing to keep yourself sane in the midst of this decision fatigue? And everything. I mean, you've had a lot of changes in the last few months, and you've got a big thing coming up that's exciting because you've been working towards it for a long time, but at the same time It's stressful in part because you've been working towards it for a long time.

Aubrey
08:06-12:15
Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah, something something very like wedding specific that I think is really, really important that has helped me stay sane. That honestly, I kind of I kind of didn't really realize/slash start doing this thing until like a month ago, which is way too late in the process for me to realize this, but it's fine. Is just the fact that being a bride in today's day and age, and like being around my age, being a bride There's so many Internet opinions about how you should do weddings and things you're going to regret if you don't do this at your wedding. Top 10 things that if you don't do, you're gonna have the worst wedding day ever, and you're gonna regret this for the rest of your life. Blah, blah, blah. And not necessarily that deep, but even just like the here are the ways to make your wedding blah blah blah. And I I obviously have I have reduced my consumption of like just being on TikTok and stuff a lot in like the last year just 'cause it never really, especially trying to graduate and just being very busy in the last year, it just didn't do anything for my productivity or happiness. So I just significantly reduced my consumption of Like TikTok and social media, but even in like the few moments that I was on specifically TikTok, um it's just like the constant like comparison to other people that was just really, really getting to me. Like I felt like if I didn't do All these million things people are telling me to do online for my wedding. I was gonna have the worst day ever, and nothing was gonna go according to plan. I'm already an anxious person. And so if you give me another thing to be anxious about, I'll find the energy to be anxious about it. I will. And it just was. Just messing with my head so bad, where it was like, This needs to be perfect, this needs to be perfect, you have to research everything months and months in advance. And I would get like TikToks on my For You page of people who are getting married in summer of 2027, and they're making TikToks now about things that are non-negotiables for my wedding. I'm like, what are you? Good for you if you are planning two years in advance because it's going to be an extremely extravagant thing and you want everything to be perfect and whatever. But the thing that Is not realistic, is that everything is going to go absolutely perfectly on the day of. And I have had to come to terms with that and have had to like pull myself away and click the like, you know. not or uninterested or whatever thing that like gets those kinds of TikToks to not come up on your FreeU page anymore. 'Cause it was really in a stupid way, it was just really affecting the way I was looking at wedding planning. And it was really just affecting like Every tiny decision, I was like, Well, I need to research this months in advance, and I'm never going to remember everything that I need to. So I'm just going to be in a constant state of stress. And I now I kind of had a had a conversation with Hayden not like a few weeks ago where and being a little vulnerable here is He was basically like, It's not about you. It's also not about me. Like, it's about us. So, like, you. Don't need to make sure everything is perfect and everything you're doing is perfect. I cannot make sure everything that I'm doing is perfect, but we as a collective can do our best to make sure things go the way we want them to go.

Peter
12:15-12:15
Sure.

Aubrey
12:16-12:55
But it is not like it is about us and our connection and the fact that we like and love each other. And that's the whole point, which Seems silly to like have to come back to that during wedding planning, but it just is kind of the reality of me being an anxious planner. It's just that I just was getting really caught up in a bunch of the little things and making it so that I felt a little less excited just because I was like, well, I just need everything to go perfectly. What if I don't do this or that? And then I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life or whatever.

Peter
12:56-13:06
So There's a couple things that I'm going to mention, and the title of the podcast is Generations.

Aubrey
12:56-13:12
And The wise words.

Peter
13:06-13:31
And so, since I'm the old man out of the pair. I'm going to I'm going to come at you with a few decades of being alive and you know 27 plus years now of being married you're unlikely to remember any of the little details of your wedding day. Like, I just don't believe it that you're going to.

Aubrey
13:29-13:30
Yeah.

Peter
13:32-13:37
I remember how I felt that your mom and I were getting married.

Aubrey
13:32-13:36
Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Peter
13:37-13:48
And I remember some of the general feelings of gratitude at the people who came to support. I don't remember anything specific. I mean, I know where the wedding took place, of course.

Aubrey
13:48-13:50
Right, right.

Peter
13:48-13:56
I remember the reception. But, like, if there was anything that wasn't great about the day, I don't remember it.

Aubrey
13:50-13:51
Yeah.

Peter
13:56-14:07
I don't know. And And the other thing that I would mention that's interesting, and I just did a little while you were chatting, I made sure that there was data to back this up, and there is.

Aubrey
13:58-13:59
Yeah.

Peter
14:07-14:33
There's a study done at Emory by I think it was an economics professor, but interestingly, they found that the more costly and extravagant there's a correlation. Now, important to understand, as the saying says, correlation does not equal causation. There's a fairly strong correlation that these more extravagant the more extravagant and expensive a wedding is, the shorter the marriage lasts.

Aubrey
14:33-14:35
I too have heard that as well.

Peter
14:34-14:53
I mean, that's the thing. You see all this stuff on social media, and it's like, I bet you that less than half. I bet you that even less than three quarters. Of those people in those relationships who are being ridiculous about it like that are still together in five years.

Aubrey
14:53-14:55
Yeah, that's true.

Peter
14:53-15:02
Because what you said is the key. What matters is the commitment that you and Hayden are making to each other. That's it.

Aubrey
15:01-15:03
Right, right.

Peter
15:02-15:09
And you want it to be a nice day because it's an important day for you, but it, again, It doesn't.

Aubrey
15:07-15:07
Right.

Peter
15:10-15:31
I don't. I hear all these stories and I read things too. And I'm mostly for me where I come across this stuff is when I'm reading a. Either in Am I the Asshole or whatever on Reddit, you know, where people are talking about a wedding that they were invited to, or some cases when they were the one who was throwing the wedding and people are like, YTA, you know, that kind of stuff.

Aubrey
15:22-15:30
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Peter
15:31-15:39
But so, but I see all these things, and I'm just like, man, you aren't going to really remember that.

Aubrey
15:32-15:32
Right.

Peter
15:40-15:55
I don't care what people say. The day itself is so much less important than everything that happens after the day. That's the key is what happens afterwards, not what happens a day of.

Aubrey
15:52-15:57
Yeah, right, right, yeah.

Peter
15:56-16:29
So you're smart to ignore/slash avoid And tune out that crap for multiple reasons. One of them, obviously, being the stress that it's inducing. But number two, being the fact that all of the people who say you have to get this right or you have to get this right. 'Cause you're going to regret it, whatever. They're charlatans, they're liars, and and they deserve to be given the attention that one would give a charlatan and a liar.

Aubrey
16:29-17:45
That is true. Yeah, and the other day we were um this is just a funny little story. Um his grandma is doing our cake for us She used to do wedding cakes in the past, and she's just like an amazing baker. And she was like, So, what flavors were you guys? She like gave us a call to ask for like some Pinterest inspiration pictures, stuff like that. And she was like, So what flavors were you guys thinking of? And I went into like full irrational panic mode. I was like, I didn't research what's the best kind of Cake flavored half at the wedding. I don't know what to do. I didn't even think about this. I completely forgot. Oh, this is such a botch. I should have, you know, whatever. And then somehow I whipped out of my butt. I was like, what about like raspberry lemon? And I looked at Hayden and he was like, Yeah, absolutely. And she was like, I would love to do that. That sounds delicious. And we hang up the phone, and I was like, Oh, I didn't think I was going to have to make that decision on the fly. Like, I'm so stressed out. And he was like. You literally came up with the best flavor. Like, those are our two favorite things. Like, what could possibly go wrong? You, it was literally perfect. Like, why are you stressed out? And I was like, but. But what if other people don't like it and blah blah blah? He was like, It doesn't matter. Like, one of the layers of the cake is gonna be real, anyways. Like, the other two are gonna be rice krispy treat. Like, it doesn't matter.

Peter
17:45-17:48
My whole cake was rice krispy treats.

Aubrey
17:46-17:51
He was like, Arcadere. Exactly.

Peter
17:50-17:56
Because the real cake layer failed, so she had to make it rice krispy tree. So there was a cake there that we could look at.

Aubrey
17:57-18:03
Exactly. And he was like, Our caterer has desserts for the other people. So it's not like this cake is actually for the other people.

Peter
18:01-18:04
The cake isn't for the no, the cake is just for you.

Aubrey
18:04-18:54
Right, right. And I was just like Okay, it's fine. And then, of course, I went on my little rant where I was like, what if I regret? Blah, blah, blah. And then he again, he's just been so wise, such my obvious rock throughout all of this, where he was like, if in 10 years. You still have regrets about things on our wedding day. We can redo it and do like a vow renewal, and we can do everything you want to do if you still are actually thinking about those details in ten years. I was like, okay, okay, you're right. Which again, I know it's irrational and it's, you know, silly, but it. It is a big part of you know, it's a very big day and comes with a lot of emotions, but I have been I have been doing much better these days.

Peter
18:49-18:55
Sure. Good, I'm glad.

Aubrey
18:54-19:29
And as long as I remember that it is Our day, and it is not like meant to be like a spectacle. Like, it's not meant to be the most extravagant, cool thing anyone will go to. It is like a day that's meant to be special. for us and for the people that we love and that are close to us. And yeah. As long as I remember that fact, I'm I tend to be a little less less stressed throughout the process. But Yeah, it just takes the constant reminders.

Peter
19:29-19:30
Sometimes it does.

Aubrey
19:30-19:47
But yeah. But in terms of your struggles in the last week and a half? How have you been trying to not cry, sob and throw up in a very you know, every second of every day?

Peter
19:48-20:57
Um so one thing is I have I've talked to other people. I mean So it was a case that my partner and I were doing together. Technically, it was his patient. I was the assist. It's been one of those things where every day it's just kind of like I've asked him, Hey, how you doing? And he's said the same thing to me. And Our PA who was with us that day, and other people, and some of the people who are in the OR, just making sure that I've reached out and just said, Hey, you were incredible that day. How are you doing? What can I do for you? And so making sure that I've been staying connected to people has been important. But then I'll be honest, on the flip side of it, it's been a lot of just Finding ways to just remove the stress from my life. So we've been watching Taskmaster because Taskmaster is zero stakes. Like, it's just zero stakes. Nobody cares who wins.

Aubrey
20:57-20:57
Yeah.

Peter
20:58-21:07
It's not like I have a favorite contestant who I'm going to be Emotionally devastated if they don't win the series. Like, I could not possibly care less who wins because you know what?

Aubrey
21:05-21:05
Right.

Peter
21:07-21:10
I don't think they actually care that much who wins.

Aubrey
21:09-21:12
Right, right. It's for for goofs.

Peter
21:12-21:21
Yeah, so we've been watching a fair bit of Taskmaster. I've been playing a lot of Donkey Kong Bonanza on the Switch 2.

Aubrey
21:21-21:23
Really? Is that the new one?

Peter
21:22-21:25
Yeah, that game is fire.

Aubrey
21:23-21:24
The new Donkey Kong?

Peter
21:25-21:28
That is an awesome game.

Aubrey
21:28-21:29
I've heard good things.

Peter
21:29-21:39
You run around, you destroy the world around you, you break stuff, you smash stuff, you punch stuff. and you find bananas, and it's very satisfying.

Aubrey
21:38-21:39
Love it.

Peter
21:41-22:18
It's a good game in that, yeah, you have to have some skills. It does require, it's not a total cakewalk. But there are plenty of things where I try something a time or two, and if it's just not clicking, I go, Whatever, I don't need to do this, and I can move on. And the big like story-related boss type fights and sequences. Again, they're challenging, and I may have a few where it's like you fail a time or two, but But it's not so hard that it makes me want to throw the controller. Not that I would, but no, so it's It's a fun game.

Aubrey
22:14-22:16
Yeah, right.

Peter
22:18-22:24
Honestly, it's a good reason to get a Switch. I have a hard time saying, hey, you should spend $500 plus dollars for one game.

Aubrey
22:21-22:22
Yeah.

Peter
22:24-22:31
But it's definitely one of those that I say, if you're going to spend $500, you should definitely get this game.

Aubrey
22:24-22:32
Right. Yeah.

Peter
22:31-22:37
So it's been a lot of fun. I'll be honest, I put pause on reading Wind and Truth.

Aubrey
22:39-22:40
That's that's valid.

Peter
22:40-22:42
I mean, it's a little heavy.

Aubrey
22:40-22:41
It's a little heavy.

Peter
22:43-22:49
I'm at the start of day nine. So I'm a little over a thousand pages in.

Aubrey
22:46-22:48
Yep. Uh-huh.

Peter
22:50-22:57
Um and I definitely just kind of had to say, you know what? No, not right now. Not right now.

Aubrey
22:58-22:59
Yeah, yeah.

Peter
22:58-23:10
Sort of similar to, I think it was, gosh, was it I mean, he's been depressed in so many of them, but was it Rhythm of War where Kaladin was like super depressed for a while?

Aubrey
23:09-23:17
Rhythm of Oreo Yeah.

Peter
23:10-23:22
Yeah, that was another one where, because of that, I had to take a break for a little bit. But, you know, I figure I'll get back to it maybe this week. We'll see.

Aubrey
23:22-23:22
Yeah.

Peter
23:22-23:59
I've been listening to listening to some good music that I'm finding cathartic. It needs to be something that I find some catharsis in. There's been plenty of that. I think for me, that's the key is finding things, number one, connecting still with people, whether it's here at home, with your mom especially, or with people at work. You know, we had DD night was Friday night, and so everybody came over and we played DD until since it was Friday night, we actually went past like 10 o'clock, which usually by like nine o'clock.

Aubrey
23:52-24:00
Mhm. Wow, were you awake by then?

Peter
23:59-24:01
Yeah, yeah.

Aubrey
24:02-24:03
It's crazy.

Peter
24:02-24:10
I mean, look, when it comes to DD, I'm not the worst. Mike Knapp is usually the one who's falling literally falling asleep in between turns.

Aubrey
24:08-24:08
Really?

Peter
24:12-24:25
But Well, I mean, the thing is, is we all s you know, we all start work at like six o'clock in the morning, so But yeah, we did that.

Aubrey
24:12-24:24
That's funny, y'all healthcare sleepyheads. Right, right. Yeah, and that's valid, that's fair.

Peter
24:26-25:27
And again, that was fun. Just trying to find ways to manage things as best I can. I will mention an aside. I'm trying to kick imperfect practice off the ground, and I've got a couple posts now on the site/slash/newsletter. I've got, I think, one video up. I need to get another one. I've got it recorded. I need to get it edited and posted. But I had this whole big plan that I was gonna kick it off with you know, one of the things that I've thought up for this project is a series of what I'm calling those 30-day challenges, where I'm going to do something either new or different for 30 days and see how it is. And I was like, oh, I'm going to kick this off with 30 days of tracking everything, everything I eat, every, you know, this, that, and the other, and nailing my workouts, doing all this kind of stuff. And I was like, oh my gosh, I don't have the mental or emotional strength to do this right now.

Aubrey
25:27-25:29
Yeah, that's a lot.

Peter
25:28-25:34
So, you know, my first thirty day challenge is going to be much more simple once I get it get it ready to go.

Aubrey
25:33-25:33
Yeah.

Peter
25:35-26:23
And and so it's looking at things and going, are there things where I can? Make it easier on myself, scale it back, that sort of thing, and doing that. But at the same time, I've got to be careful that I don't Make things too easy for too long because then it's easy to get stuck in that rut. So, you know, I got to kind of kick myself back in gear this coming week and get going. But You know other than that, it's just kind of like I say it's been it's been finding ways to to Take my mind off things while still being engaged with, you know, not trying to pull away from the people around me.

Aubrey
26:02-26:03
Yeah.

Peter
26:23-26:27
Just find ways to ease things up a little bit.

Aubrey
26:24-26:24
Right.

Peter
26:27-26:27
So.

Aubrey
26:28-26:52
Yeah. Yeah, it's always like the ebb and the flow, I feel like, with things like that, where it's never going to be like a linear you feel better, you know, better and better every day. It's just kind of what can you do each day to try and ease it a little bit. And like you said, stay connected with other people because that feels like the number one thing that would help, things like that.

Peter
26:51-26:53
Yeah, it really is.

Aubrey
26:52-27:09
Yeah, 'cause there's there's people that go through things like that, you know, unfortunately they have the experience on how to try and Recoup and yeah, it's just it's just rough, yeah.

Peter
27:07-27:19
Yeah. But but no, other than that, you know, like I say, I think we're all just trying to get ready for your big day and then our other day in between now and then, which I don't know.

Aubrey
27:16-27:19
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Peter
27:19-27:27
I your mother is very excited for Alex to be home. I'm excited as well, but I'm a little nervous.

Aubrey
27:24-27:28
Yeah, yeah. Why?

Peter
27:29-27:39
I know I it's a weird transition. In some ways, I think it's a more difficult transition to come home from a mission than it is to go on a mission.

Aubrey
27:34-27:38
Yeah. Mhm.

Peter
27:39-27:48
Because when you go, you're excited, you're doing this new thing, and while it's overwhelming, and you can be homesick, and all of these things happen.

Aubrey
27:39-27:39
Yeah.

Peter
27:48-28:22
At the same time, because it's new and you're in a new place and you're meeting new people, and you're so focused in what you should be spending your time on. That it's easy to move past that. But then you get home and it's like, okay, I've had two years where I had a laser-focused central purpose. To my entire day, every day. And then you get home and you don't have that. And you've got to figure out what your focus is and what your purpose is.

Aubrey
28:18-28:18
Yeah.

Peter
28:23-28:37
And Yeah, so it's it's an interesting transition that we'll just have to kind of we'll see how he does with it and see how he's different because I'm sure he's going to be different than when he left.

Aubrey
28:23-28:37
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Peter
28:38-28:50
I will be curious to see if your mother and he argue and fight as much as they did before. I'd be okay if less of that was one of the changes that came about.

Aubrey
28:49-28:59
Yeah we shall see, we shall see yeah Mm-hmm.

Peter
28:52-29:00
I don't know, we shall see. And you know, how is he gonna get along with Gareth? That kind of stuff. So, I don't know.

Aubrey
29:00-29:03
Yeah, well we shall see.

Peter
29:02-29:24
We shall see. But yeah, a little bit of a shorter episode. But like I say, I think there's both there's a lot going on for both of us. So is there anything else you wanted to add? Did you have any astro fact or anything? 'Cause honestly, my my medicine brain is not it's not not in today.

Aubrey
29:24-29:53
Yeah, I guess my only fact was that the um Percyeds meteor shower was this past um week. It's like the meteor shower that goes behind the Swift Tuttle Comet every year in August. I unfortunately was not able to see much of it because uh the sky was cloudy. So of course, just my luck as an astro um physics person, I was not able to see the meteor shower.

Peter
29:53-29:54
Yeah, I didn't know.

Aubrey
29:53-30:12
Um but it's like It's like twenty to seventy quote shooting stars an hour that you can see if it's a clear night. So it is crazy. It's one of like the craziest ones all year. But Unfortunately, I was not able to see much of it, so very sad.

Peter
30:12-30:13
That's a bar.

Aubrey
30:12-30:25
But that's okay. Yeah, that's okay. That was actually one of the trivia questions at our trivia night last week. was what meteor shower? And I was like, give me the paper. I got it.

Peter
30:23-30:25
You're like, This is mine.

Aubrey
30:25-30:57
This is mine. But yeah, so that's my only astro fact is there's sometimes there's sometimes cool meteor showers and things happening, which funnily enough, like meteors, comets, meteoroids, that area of like astro stuff is like a big hole in my education where they like did not talk about any of those objects. At all in any of my astro classes, which is crazy, because you would think they would at least mention it one time, but I don't think they did.

Peter
30:57-30:59
That is a little interesting.

Aubrey
30:58-31:22
They were like, figure this out yourself. I was like, uh. But now I feel like I should know most space things, you know, but this is just one weird hole in my knowledge. So I'm gonna I'm gonna fix that on my own time But anyways, yep, that's that's my fact.

Peter
31:16-31:53
There you go. There you go. Okay. Well, we'll be back again in another few weeks. We're recording this a little bit before it gets posted so that You know, hopefully, we'll be on track to get something recorded before the wedding.
