0:26

Everybody is kind of just tucked away and hunkered down in our various I was just asking Tove and Phineas about um whether or not I I just sort of picked any food out of the ether as an example of something that we should send her in a care package and oranges sprung to mind and she was like, "Well, funny enough, actually, I have an orange tree.

0:47

So, I'm not lacking for vitamin C."

0:49

Oh, the weirdest for me as a Swedish person to eat an orange from orange tree in my backyard is like so exotic and amazing.

0:59

And like my friends that live with me are from California and they're just like, "Yeah, whatever." It's so cool. It's from my backyard.

1:07

Tove, also, I'm not kidding.

You know, we've got a whole bunch of really smart, emotionally intelligent people on the line.

1:35

So, you know, I think I think it's we're not there yet, but we're all going to we all have to acknowledge that when this when we come back to some semblance of normality, that's when we really have to look out for each other as well because I think every everyone's going to have a quite a hard time acknowledge changed our everyday, you know, and how we relate to each other. Mhm.

1:54

Even the thing when you actually cuz I've been like cuz all the parks and everything are shut down here, like parks and beaches, everything.

1:59

So, um and Uh so, I've been just kind of like walking around the neighborhood, and you see your neighbors, and everyone, you know, you like say hello, everyone's friendly, but you really step away from each other, and it's such an unnatural reaction to fear someone's presence.

2:17

That's like kind of the weird Um And I think, you know, the crazy feeling of like, yeah, yeah, you know, I live with with a four people, and we all like we're doing themed dinners, and we're like, you know, cooking all the time, and and uh trying new weird recipes, and just kind of, you know, select. I bought a pool up. Themed dinners. Themed dinners. Stop. Let's go there. What?

2:52

That is basically just like a kind of like what?

2:55

Uh I I I just feel like a Fifth Element kind of vibe.

2:59
