We’re Brad & Monnica Manuel - we've been married for 28 years and business partners a little longer than that.
Every Sunday morning, we press record on a conversation rooted in reflection. Over coffee and a vinyl record, we talk through the week we just lived: what challenged us, what taught us, and what tuned us along the way.
From marriage and mindset to leadership, resilience, and personal growth, these are honest conversations about being human through the lens of Gen X, family, work, and life in transition - one record, one reflection, one transmission at a time.
🎧 New Transmissions every Sunday morning
☕ Stories • Soundtracks • Marriage • Leadership • Self-Discovery • Coaching • Generation X
So coffee poured, phones off, one shared breath.
Monnica:You good?
Brad:I'm good. Are you good?
Monnica:So good.
Brad:Good. Welcome to the manual transmission. I'm Brad.
Monnica:And I'm Monica.
Brad:We celebrated our twenty eighth Valentine's Day together this weekend.
Monnica:Happy Valentine's Day to And everybody up also, happy Galentine's Day to my my girlfriends. So it became a thing, it's on the thirteenth.
Brad:Okay. Happy Galentine's Day. Yeah. Every week, we sit down with coffee and a vinyl record to reflect on the week we just lived.
Monnica:It's our weekly ritual powered by coffee, curiosity, and conversation. So This week's vinyl.
Brad:Bad Bunny, Debbie Timo. Terar. Mas photos. Mas
Monnica:photos. It means I should have taken more photos.
Brad:I should have taken more photos. What'd you think of the album?
Monnica:I like it. I it's new for me. I haven't well, new in the sense, like, bringing it into home. The only time I would hear music like that is if we're on, you know, on vacation in another country or in, like, a a restaurant that's playing Latin music.
Brad:Mhmm. It felt like what I assume Miami would be like. You said it earlier, it makes you wanna move.
Monnica:Makes you wanna move.
Brad:I got this album.
Monnica:Why did you choose to buy the album?
Brad:I knew in the back of my mind that Bad Bunny was doing the Super Bowl, and I knew the reason why many folks had an issue with it mostly because it was Spanish language.
Monnica:What was wrong with that?
Brad:At the end of the day, nothing because the Super Bowl show was phenomenal. I I thought it was fun.
Monnica:It was But why would they have a problem with it?
Brad:Well, because it's un American, Monica.
Monnica:But they were here first.
Brad:Well, the fact of the matter is Bad Bunny's an American. Puerto Ricans are Americans.
Monnica:Puerto Rico is part of America. What the heck?
Brad:So, anyway, I knew we were going to the Dominican Republic. We're about to go there for a week.
Monnica:We leave a week from today.
Brad:Yeah. And so I thought I'd check out famous Dominican artists. And one of the ones that came up, it was this band called Aventura. And so I pulled it up on Pandora, started listening to it. It was really good.
Brad:It was just feel good music. I didn't understand a word.
Monnica:That's the bachata?
Brad:Yeah. Romeo Santos, their lead singer, then went out on his own, and I found a collaboration with him and Bad Bunny.
Monnica:Oh, cool.
Brad:And so we listened to it pretty much all week to get a taste of what the halftime show would be like. And it was a fun show.
Monnica:It was a fun show. And what's fun about it too is we listened to Lady Gaga last week, and we didn't know that she was going to be guest appearing in his halftime show.
Brad:That was awesome.
Monnica:She did such a good job. It was cool.
Brad:She did. It was great.
Monnica:It's fun to see artists just love working together and collaborating together.
Brad:Yeah. It totally plays into what you said last transmission where you were talking about the caliber of work that she does. And when she goes after something, she brings all of it. Yeah. And she totally owned that performance.
Brad:It was so good.
Monnica:So good. And I thought it was neat to see Benito, Bad Bunny, he idolized her wanted to meet her for a long time and then got to work with her. And so she was cameo appearing in his Super Bowl halftime show. Like, what a dream come true for him, and he was giddy about it. I thought that was fun to watch.
Monnica:So overall, what would you say was the mood of this album?
Brad:It feels celebratory. It feels happy. But my favorite song on the album is Tourista. I'm actually gonna play it for you, but I like it for a specific reason.
Monnica:A few moments later.
Brad:It reminds me of, like, a a French song, like a stroll in Paris.
Monnica:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Interesting.
Monnica:I don't know. I think Mr. Benito seems like quite the talent, but also, again, one of those artists who is just bringing authenticity and work ethic and creativity and connecting with the world around him in a massive way. He's like the most popular artist in the world, isn't he, right now?
Brad:Pretty much. Pretty much.
Monnica:And a young kid who seems to be handling it pretty well from from what I can tell. It's cool.
Brad:July 4 or July 11?
Monnica:That's the question. Stockholm or Paris?
Brad:Then we have our passport sitting on the table.
Monnica:Yeah. Because we've gotta go do our etickets today.
Brad:That's right. Okay. So what mood did the album carry for you?
Monnica:Yeah. I mean, it it trick for me, it triggers feelings of either being on vacation or eating out at a a Latin restaurant. I liked what it inspired in you, even though we haven't done it yet. But you were like actually, and this blew my mind, looking into scheduling dance lessons for us.
Brad:The bachata.
Monnica:That was
Brad:Salsa.
Monnica:Unexpected.
Brad:Bachata.
Monnica:I wanna see you move your hips like that. Let's go. Let's book it.
Brad:I'll move my hips
Monnica:like boy. Oh my gosh. You
Brad:Okay. Is there something else that we need to say about that?
Monnica:No.
Brad:Okay. Cool. I might have experienced the future of coaching this week in our garage.
Monnica:What happened?
Brad:I've been able to swing into the net, and as I'm learning to train my left handed swing
Monnica:Yeah. I feel like we should take a step back and let people know six months ago, you decided, you gave up on trying to fix your right handed swing, and just said, you know what? What'll happen if I just go left handed? And you fully committed. You went and traded in your golf clubs and and got a a used set of left handed golf clubs.
Brad:Yeah. I spent thirty years
Monnica:Oh, man.
Brad:On a really bad swing.
Monnica:Well, it wasn't I mean, you're a good golfer, like, way above average. But even I, who am not I don't have I have no expertise, but I could see you you would practice swing, and it's like, oh, wow. That looks good. And then you'd step up to the ball, and you'd swing, and you'd hit the ball. And I'm like, what?
Monnica:What was that? That did not One did not look like the other. There was like this weird hitch in your swing that clearly you were physically capable of swinging a pure swing because your practice swings were great. And then when you would step up and you'd actually hit the ball, it would change. It was like you had this mental block.
Monnica:And I mean, you've been trying to fix that for a long time.
Brad:Yep.
Monnica:So, after all that struggle, you just went, you know what? Screw it. I'm gonna give myself a blank slate and switch sides, and you don't have that hitch on that side. Okay. So you're in the garage.
Monnica:You're you're swinging you're you're hitting into the net.
Brad:I'm swinging maybe five or six swings and I'm exploring the feel of these pieces kind of where I want to be. And on occasion, I will pause and reflect and journal. And so in ChatGPT, I started a project and I've been keeping notes. It collapsed hours into minutes.
Monnica:Is that It's coaching. How is it doing that? It's telling you what your muscle movement should feel like?
Brad:It's taking content from all this mass data out there, training content that's been developed by professionals, and it's able to take all this information and come back and inform me what I actually should be feeling, what I should be sensing. And then I go and try it and I started just absolutely purring the ball. And my swing felt easier, just simplistic and fluid. It's been able to coach me and get me to this point where I am freaking excited about this season.
Monnica:That is wild.
Brad:It is really weird.
Monnica:And and it's annoying how good your swing looks.
Brad:Well, I appreciate that.
Monnica:Mean, from all my expertise.
Brad:It is pretty incredible to feel the way I feel right now.
Monnica:Well, I hope you get to play next week in the Dominican.
Brad:Me too. Me too.
Monnica:So you're communicating with ChatGPT. You're talking to it about what you're experiencing, what you're feeling in your swing. It's coaching you based on that and telling you what you should feel, and you're having breakthroughs.
Brad:Yeah, it's confirming, it's clarifying this process in a quick fashion, which I think is really incredible. It's like that immediate feedback is phenomenal.
Monnica:But the other thing you mentioned that it helped you do is you've been able for the first time to really visualize your full swing.
Brad:That is so weird.
Monnica:Well, you couldn't do it on the right side, but you can on the left. And with why do you think it's different?
Brad:You mentioned it, but it almost feels like I have this blank slate to work with. I think maybe because
Monnica:was and practice
Brad:then I'd go and I'd execute a completely different swing, there was some disconnect in my ability to visualize what
Monnica:it's Do you think it had anything to do with all your years of practicing and swinging a baseball bat?
Brad:Oh, I know baseball influenced that right handed swing tremendously because I'm very much about getting the hands to the ball and in golf.
Monnica:That was your trigger, and that was what your your impetus for your swing was?
Brad:Absolutely.
Monnica:So right now, you're just getting a feel for your left side. So in the in the spring, in the summer, when you start golfing a lot more, are you going to get some lessons?
Brad:I'm I'm gonna explore working with Maria some more virtually. In fact, I just sent her my recent video. Her response, swing looks so good. Look at that turn.
Monnica:Nice. Well, it's fun to see you try something new and explore it. And so here's the here's the big question. You said you were going to go left handed for a year. You're halfway through it.
Monnica:At this point, what do you lay odds for going back to right side after the year's up, or do you stay left handed?
Brad:What I'm sensing is that I'm getting close on the left handed swing, and I'd
Monnica:Now you don't wanna
Brad:I'd be like, why would I give up all that momentum? But then there's part of me as well going with what I learned, could I finally go back and fix my right handed swing?
Monnica:So no need to decide right now.
Brad:Right. Just
Monnica:keep doing what you're doing.
Brad:I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
Monnica:Well, I'm glad you're having fun with it.
Brad:I am. Thanks for supporting me and my hobby.
Monnica:You're welcome. I don't I I don't really do anything other than ask you questions about it here and there.
Brad:You do. And I again, that's that feels supportive.
Monnica:Okay. Cool.
Brad:Okay. So let's do high lows.
Monnica:Okay. Well, here I have a hive from Valentine's Day weekend. It was great. We we spent the whole day together. You planned the morning.
Monnica:You booked pedicures for us. That was so did
Brad:me.
Monnica:I'm so, like, happy and, like, proud of you. So we went and got, we started our morning grabbing a cup of coffee and going to the nail salon and getting pedicures together. That was really fun.
Brad:That was fun.
Monnica:That was my high. And then my low, it came during another high, which was I got to cook dinner for you, for us, for Valentine's Day. I like cooking, but I don't get to do it very often. And so, I was cooking a lovely dinner. Had notes for I would do it differently, a couple things differently next time.
Monnica:All in all, I'd say I'd give it I'd give it like four four out of five stars. But I made this really nice salmon,
Brad:and I'd give it five out of five, Monica.
Monnica:Aw, listen to you.
Brad:That was was
Monnica:just a good choice you just made there, but it did have some room for improvement. But the orzo, the lemon orzo
Brad:was That was delicious.
Monnica:That was my favorite. That was really good.
Brad:The brussels
Monnica:sprouts were pretty good, and the salmon was pretty good. Yeah. You're not a big fan of any any any meat that you ever get if it has any fat on it, and this was a
Brad:It was a wonderful piece
Monnica:of king salmon marbled, fatty piece of salmon from Norway.
Brad:It was
Monnica:a really nice fillet of salmon that you were not that excited to eat. But here's where the low part comes in. I was turning the fillet, and I accidentally splashed hot olive oil on my arm. Mhmm. And I got a pretty pretty nasty burn on my arm.
Monnica:Yep. It hurt.
Brad:We pulled out the
Monnica:That was my low
Brad:Emergency kit.
Monnica:The burn spray.
Brad:Pulled out the burn spray.
Monnica:Yeah. You you patched me up. Thank you.
Brad:I'm sorry that happened to you.
Monnica:It's fine. I'll heal just fine. It just hurt, but, I'm good. But anyway, so it it was a lovely day. Thank you for that.
Brad:It was fun.
Monnica:That was my high low.
Brad:Cool.
Monnica:What's yours? Did you come up with something while I was
Brad:going Well, my high was the work that I've been doing with my golf swing.
Monnica:It feels like you really had a breakthrough this week.
Brad:Yeah. There was it was definitely a breakthrough. It really felt good. And I know it's gonna take a while. This is a big change, at least what the feel is, but I I know it's the right change.
Brad:I know that I'm on on the right track. So that was awesome. That was a really cool high. My low was the nasty hot tub that I just had to go clean. Guests.
Monnica:Guests don't think about after you've been skiing all day, you should probably rinse off before you go get in the hot tub, God
Brad:love all the folks that wanna come and visit Utah and ski in our beautiful mountains. But
Monnica:And stay in our beautiful Airbnb That's right. With a lovely appre set up to go get in the hot tub.
Brad:Just take it off. Rinse off before you get in.
Monnica:So gross.
Brad:Yeah. So that was my love.
Monnica:Okay.
Brad:But that is the job.
Monnica:That's what goes with the territory.
Brad:It is what it is. Also, I would say as excited as I was about my high and the breakthrough with my swing and working with AI, which really kind of surprised me. It also kind of scared me in a way it made me realize we've talked about Gen X and this idea of being replaced. We kind of sit in this weird space between the boomers who they're on social media at a peripheral level, that surface level, and they enjoy it because it's connection. But this next generation, they are digital natives.
Brad:They are uttering in next era, and we're kind of in that gap.
Monnica:Yeah. So as it moves in the direction of, you know, more than just virtual reality, but augmented reality as you move throughout the real world. It's going to be interesting to see all the ways that we haven't even thought of yet that life changes. And there's, of course, incredible breakthroughs and advancements and, you know, amazing things that are coming out of it. There's also just some really terrible things.
Monnica:For example, we were talking about Bad Bunny. I wasn't even aware of it until I saw Snopes thing where they'll go and debunk stuff that's out there. But somebody used AI to create an image of Benito what's his last name?
Brad:Ocasio.
Monnica:Benito Ocasio in drag burning an American flag before the show. And a lot of people thought that was real. Now I would No matter how authentic the photo looks, I would question that. Like, why would he do that? I don't think he would.
Monnica:And of course they were able to figure out pretty easily that it was fake. Right. It was an AI generated image. But a lot of people see stuff like that and they don't even question it, and they just are easily fooled by these crazy AI images. And right now, you can kind of tell if something's AI, but increasingly, we won't be able to readily distinguish.
Monnica:And so, you know, like what's gonna happen in the coming election cycles, and how do you know what's been what's false and what's real?
Brad:I love technology for the sake of education and learning. It's like accessibility to the world, to everyone to have this information, but we're learning at a faster pace than we can actually understand.
Monnica:Is what you're saying that we're it's developing so quickly, and we're we're learning and developing it so quickly in a way that's outpacing our ability to govern it and understand what's what's useful to us or what's beneficial societally. It's not like it gets tested out. Right. It's just like onto the And next
Brad:and how do you pull it back? How do you put that genie back in the bottle?
Monnica:Yeah. You can't. You can't. So I don't know. It's gonna it's a whole new it's completely unprecedented in human history.
Monnica:So who knows what's going to happen? Gene Roddenberry was a genius. I've said that so many times. But think about, we have universal translators effectively now. You can translate any language at your fingertips from audio.
Monnica:You can just wonder anything aloud, and Siri or an AI bot will Oh, oops. Siri thinks I'm talking to her.
Brad:Uh-oh.
Monnica:I'm not talking to you, Siri. We'll just tell you the answer based on the whole world of knowledge online. Anything you want, pretty much in the world, you can just go online and it'll be at your house within a day or a few days at the most, probably. It's crazy.
Brad:Yeah. It's instant. Everything's instant. Instant delivery, instant refinement of ideas.
Monnica:If you want a video chat with anyone in the world, you can do it right now. If you want to geolocate any in the world, if they give you permission, you can do it right now. If you want to go anywhere in the world, you can pretty much go there. Can just ask. It's on your phone.
Brad:At your fingertips. It's wild. It is wild.
Monnica:And that's all changed in our lifetimes.
Brad:Right. We've seen that bridge happen. We are not the digital natives, but our children are. And so they are thinking about this in an entirely different way.
Monnica:And I think we're having to bring our intuition and our prudence and our judgment to this new foreign concept of technology, but they're born native to it and almost being coached up through and with it. And so like, what's training the AI and what's training them? What's prudent? What are the right restraints? What what's your critical thinking got to play here?
Monnica:What are your was your judgment how does your judgment work? How does your acceptance of real and not real, imaginary, fake, augmented reality, virtual reality, real reality? How relationships in all of that?
Brad:Is there the experience or the understanding, the awareness to be able to make good decisions on what's next?
Monnica:And I guess what I'm saying is the answer to that is gonna vary generation to generation, I think. And exactly how, I'm not sure. But the way our parents are adapting to it and bringing their understanding to it is a different speed and integration than ours. And our kids and our grandkids are also very different. Like, even our kids who are our kids are in their twenties and early thirties.
Brad:They're smarter than us.
Monnica:Totally more prepared to deal with it. But even for them, they didn't have smartphones until high school or later.
Brad:Right.
Monnica:But so their kids are like, our little our little granddaughter, I can call and talk to her on her watch. That was, like, out of Spy Kids from us. That was so it was a crazy concept. But she can just go talk to her watch and have it call her Nana and say, hey, Nana. How you doing?
Monnica:Mhmm. From her watch. That's and, you know Gene Roddenberry. Exactly. Communicator would have been on the lapel, though.
Monnica:Just on a more pragmatic level, you know, I use it pretty much daily. A lot of people do. But what I noticed is, people will take raw output and try to pass it off as work product. It's almost like an image that hasn't been fully rendered yet. It's still a bit pixelated.
Monnica:It's like they haven't gone back through and applied their own thought process and their own understanding of the work and really edited and fully rendered it. And they're giving me this partially rendered picture, and I'm like, dude, go back and do your work properly. And first of all, right off the top, take it out of Aptose or whatever that font is. Take all the em dashes out of it. Actually read the stupid thing.
Monnica:Edit it, make sure it's your thinking, your thought work, show that you understand the task, use it as a tool, don't use it as a cop out. Because otherwise, it's like, why do I need you, the human? I'll just use AI.
Brad:I hear what you're saying. I think that you could also say that there might need to be some calibration in terms of how you are collaborating. If I'm on a team and I come to you in collaboration, what I should do is preface, hey, I haven't done the final work on this, but could you take a look at this? Give me your feedback before I Directionally. Tie it all off.
Monnica:You go do that. Yeah. Perfect example. Like, I I'm I'm with you on that. For example, another department I needed something from, and they were being really slow to to deliver it, and I didn't know what the hang up was.
Monnica:So I said, tell you what, I asked AI to take a first pass at a draft on this. Maybe this will help prompt your thinking. So this is just raw output from AI, but here you go. Let me know what you think. Maybe this will get things moving.
Monnica:And they just said, No, that looks good. Just use that. I said, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, we need to have a conversation here. I need you to think through what this policy should be and really make it your own and give the full sign off.
Monnica:That's where I go back to. It's like, okay, then what do I need you for if I'm just gonna ask AI to write this policy and you're just gonna pencil whip approve it? Like, that's not cool. Take the time to think. There's this concern out there that the human jobs are going to be replaced AI.
Monnica:I think that's definitely going to happen in lots of ways. So like in the meantime, we don't know what's gonna happen. We can't control that future, but do your human part. Don't just offload it to AI unthinkingly.
Brad:We all need to be using it simply to stay relevant and know what is the competition doing.
Monnica:Right. If you're not using it, you'll be left in the dust. Like, for example, one of the things just a task that has to be done, if you're, like if I'm hiring for certain positions or whatever, and you've gotta write a job description, if I sit down and I take the time to write a job description for a new position, that's gonna take me, I don't know, half an hour, forty five minutes, an hour, versus if I craft a good prompt to AI and say, you know, here's what good looks like, here's the kinds of things I'm looking for, go out and look at best practices across industries, and bring me back and deliver a first draft of a job description. Now I'm just editing, and that whole process takes me fifteen minutes, maybe. So that's one example.
Monnica:There's thousands of examples of things that used to take a lot longer that now in collaboration with AI, you can churn out really quickly. You still have to apply thought in crafting a good prompt and doing, you know, going through afterward and editing the output and making sure it fits. But the speed to delivery is a lot faster. And if you aren't using it, you're just gonna get left behind.
Brad:So what do you feel is the key to using it effectively?
Monnica:I think curiosity and good question asking, if you've already got that Yeah. You're already ahead. Just being able to think through how would you form a question to yield good output from the tool. Yeah, and then critical thinking skills to be able to read output and challenge assumptions and think contextually and align it all with, you know, what's the objective here? What am I trying to accomplish?
Monnica:Does this meet that? Do I need to rearrange it? Do I need to ask AI to go back, or do I need to make the edits? And then kind of your ongoing relationship with the AI that you're using, because it's drawing on all of that. Learning your voice.
Brad:That's right.
Monnica:Learning, you know, has the context clues from everything else you've asked it. So your ability to train that AI tool, I think those all come into play. What you bring to it is just as important.
Brad:I totally agree, and you said it, but I'll reemphasize it. Being curious is really going to be your best approach to utilizing the tool in the most effective way.
Monnica:Also, even just like on small things, I was thinking about the whole cookbook industry that used to be basic. I mean, I know it's still a thing. I mean, people are still putting out cookbooks. But when I was looking for recipes for what I was going to cook, I mean, I'm just having a conversation about what's the setting, who's eating, what are we trying to accomplish, what kind of protein are we thinking we want? It's giving me recipes based on what telling it I want out of the evening.
Monnica:And I'm like, no, what about this? Maybe change that. And then it's giving me my shopping list. I'm saying, okay, now there's multiple dishes here. I need them to come out at the right time.
Monnica:Give me my order of operations. It's coaching me through what to do first, second, third, fourth, and T minus how many minutes. And it's got so I've been was able to coordinate the production of these three different dishes using the same cooktop.
Brad:I loved watching that because you it was literally this operation that you were setting up, organizing, and then executing on. And you did it in how long did
Monnica:it take? Forty five minutes. And I
Brad:It was plated, and we were sitting down and eating.
Monnica:Yeah. My execution was slightly off, so it wasn't exactly all out at the right time, But was pretty close.
Brad:I thought it was
Monnica:And I wouldn't have been able to do that just with a cookbook and three separate recipes. It coached me through how to actually not just cook one of the dishes, but how to do it in conjunction with all three. So it's like, alright, do this for this dish. Now while that's happening, come over and do this for that dish. And while that's happening, come over and do this for this other dish.
Monnica:It was pretty cool.
Brad:It was a wonderful meal. The orzo pasta was my favorite.
Monnica:Mine too.
Brad:It was good.
Monnica:That was tasty.
Brad:Parmesan, garlic, and the scallion.
Monnica:Shallots. Shallots. Garlic. Butter.
Brad:Lots of butter.
Monnica:A little lemon. Yeah. There's a healthy amount of butter.
Brad:Parmesan cheese.
Monnica:Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. It was really simple, but it
Brad:was So tasty. AI is more of this amplifier rather than a replacement. I mean, are things that going to be replaced. I think Gen X has every right to be a little bit worried about what's next because we're the ones bridging this gap. Change.
Brad:There are jobs that are being replaced. That's a good one. In
Monnica:the meantime, we'll keep playing our analog records on Sundays.
Brad:That's right.
Monnica:Listening to albums and reflecting, seeing what what needs to slow down amid all of the acceleration.
Brad:What else deserves to stay slow in this era of acceleration?
Monnica:Well, like this Bad Bunny album saying, we should have taken more photos. Yes. I think I've been, actually trying to take fewer photos and just be present with things. I'll still take photos here and there, of course, but I think if you are just capturing a photo to have the memory later to go back and look at it, or Instagram posts for someone else, that's one way. But if you're really trying to take in the experience, and like we've talked about with hardwiring happiness, really savor it for at least twelve seconds so you can kind of encode those memory engrams in your hippocampus so you really have the memory, you've really been present to it.
Monnica:You experience your life and what you pay attention to, you're present to.
Brad:I love that. I think that is the theme that we've been really focused on this year so far, and I'm looking forward to doing that in The Dominican, in a completely new country, to experience the culture as close as we're gonna be able to experience it.
Monnica:We'll be with new people.
Brad:But we will be with new people in a in a new environment, but really being present. I will say that my interpretation of the album name, I should have taken more photos, was more of I should have had more experiences.
Monnica:Instead of just being swept up by the grind?
Brad:Yeah. I should have
Monnica:Or the worry of things.
Brad:I should have had more experiences that I could have photos, that I would wanna take photos of.
Monnica:I will say that as we've been doing that more and more, the just being present to what's happening, it's so strange how both time slows down
Brad:Mhmm.
Monnica:And also goes by so fast.
Brad:It does.
Monnica:Like a week ago, like I think I commented to you as I was on my way home Friday, this week both feels like it just blitzed by and also Monday feels like it was a long time ago.
Brad:Packing a lot into a week. There's just a lot going on. Well, if you have been sitting with us up until this point, thank you. You should check out Bad Bunny's album. It's really good.
Monnica:It's a good one. I don't know if it's going on my top 25. We'll see.
Brad:Yeah. I don't know.
