So, Josh, a few days ago, I was sitting like computer doing writing a journal entry for English, and it was about nature and the outdoors and all blah, blah, blah. And I'm thinking to myself, Why am I writing about nature while in my room with my curtains down? Sending is staring on a wall and on my computer at my screen when I could be outside when it's a gorgeous day. 90 degrees so nice. And so I say, Screw this. I finish up the entry. I go outside, I go a Popsicle. A strawberry lemonade. Popsicle

spk_0:   1:36
up. Ethan was the entry quality.

spk_1:   1:38
Oh, the entry was You have great quality, Josh. Don't worry. Don't worry. Just don't worry how to keep a good quality. You can't. You can't mess in your journal interests

spk_0:   1:45
that message of job.

spk_1:   1:47
So I got my strawberry lemonade Popsicle. I go outside of my book, my computer, some headphones and I sit down in a chair. I get put my sunglasses on and I start relaxing in the sun. But, I mean, it's stolen Mila day. I still have classes, so I show up to class. I'm eating a popsicle, my sunglasses on the middle class. My Spanish teacher is like Ola Ethan. Oh, you are. It's so funny that you're in your outside. Um, and it was everyone in my class was making jokes that it was a good time and I

spk_0:   2:17
was to me, this sounds pretty palatial. Doesn't it's like it was a good time. You're sunbathing, and you're You're in class at the same time. Exactly why Corona Time.

spk_1:   2:28
Yeah. Why would I be in my my my room on my desk when it's just like, uh, and better at their old day when I could be outside in the sun enjoying the nice breeze of a nice day and eating a popsicle? Um, you know, I never say that I would be in the sun with some glasses on with a eating a Popsicle during the middle of Spanish class.

spk_0:   2:47
But, Ethan, are you as productive as usual? That that's a serious question, because we all know school is very important to you. Very important. And I don't want you to undermine your school and your work just so you can sit outside and be palatial and be lazy. Just you

spk_1:   3:03
know me, you eat. We've known each other for a few years. I would never undermine my school work just to get a few more out. A few more minutes, even of son of son time. And did you know

spk_0:   3:13
Popsicle? If your parents weren't listening to this podcast, would you say that off course,

spk_1:   3:18
Josh, I parents sometimes listen to the podcast and, um I have No, I'm not saying this because they're listening. I really think that I was working just as hard and just as well, if not better when I was outside. Because what? I'm inside. I was bored. I was kind of getting clams e and kind of just getting worked up in angsty and see from sitting at my desk all day when I'm outside, It's a different environment. Feels better. I felt like this is so cool. So I felt more engaged

spk_0:   3:44
for my understanding is you've been You've been a quarantine. We've all been in quarantine here in Houston, Texas, for almost two months now. And almost two months in you decide. I'm gonna sit outside, and so this is like early May late April, and then two weeks later, it becomes 100 degrees out. Are you gonna be sitting outside in two weeks? Ethan. What? You're in Houston.

spk_1:   4:09
You have a good point. It re live in Houston, one of the hottest cities, and it gets really hot 100 degrees in the summer. And sitting on site could be a pain. But I still I'm a pretty tolerant guy. Like sitting outside. I think that I'm still gonna sit outside. I'm gonna be the shade off lives even two weeks or a had a shit to say, Josh, but I still like the scent of state. Maybe not for an hour. Maybe for 20 minutes. I'll sit outside in the shade. No way. I'll jump in the pool. Josh's

spk_0:   4:36
number in the summer in Houston, Texas. It isn't. It's miserable. I'm gonna be honest. You are a wimp, Josh. Okay. I mean, how could you say that? You have to Versatile. We rang so much sunscreen because you'd be getting parched alter all day. But you have no water. Nobody else wants to come outside to bring you water. I mean, it just sounds so miserable. And you've wasted two months of courting inside when he could have been outside Ethan. It's just quite disappointing to me. Alarming

spk_1:   5:06
Josh, I haven't. What was because I was outside a week ago doesn't mean I haven't been outside this whole time. This was just the latest experience. I've been going outside and doing this sitting outside, reading outside every afternoon for the past month and every Sunday, take a walk along, walk around my neighborhood Um, and it's just one of the ways that we stay together, Josh. There, Joe, undermine me and saying that I'm not getting enough sun time.

spk_0:   5:31
You know, that reminds me every day at six o'clock, I take a family walker on neighborhood and we have three routes we've gone allow you write three routes by like, 60 days. We've been in quarantine. That's like 20 routes each time. But then don't forget about it. You have to walk my dogs. I have to walk my dogs at night as well. So I'm walking around my neighborhood like 100 times, and I'm so sick of the decent. I walk in the same house, I've went to the same neighbor, and I've I've started doing something I have. Ah, Every Sunday night in my neighborhood, we make a bonfire. All of the neighbors go on the front lawn and make a bonfire. All of

spk_1:   6:08
our but, uh oh, is it?

spk_0:   6:11
It is. And we roast hot dogs. So at while I walk the dogs and I walk in my neighborhood, I'm always picking up firewood. I'm always picking on fire. That's my dad, and I make it a competition. He'll walk one way on the neighborhood. I'll walk the other way around the neighborhood and never comes back with the most firewood wins. So yesterday afternoon I was walking back, was walking back with my firewood and I on and I decided to turn left and I saw a big pile of firewood. And I'm like, Yes, yes, I was so excited is a big wildfire. I would win for the day and I'm under 18. Go, little blob. Some money on every put, like $2 0 that's Oh, John, that's on it. Who wins? I

spk_1:   6:58
seemed a little like May

spk_0:   6:59
Thies. Trudeau did just $2 or mind. Today I'm in the window. Take that. So I take the little red. I go back to my house and take my little red wagon and and I and I run back and it's gone. And I'm like, What? What the hell could happen to you? My like my guess, and I go back to my house and there is my dad sitting at the trunk of his car with a big pile of firewood, and he tells me, No, he doesn't tell me I have to figure it out for myself. He follows me instead of going to find his firewood every day to pick up piles that I miss.

spk_1:   7:36
Oh, that's that's a harsh move,

spk_0:   7:39
the harsh move and that he wanted $2. That's the grating. It's degrading, You know, we have those family relationships which are struggling in these Khurana times, and with this competition going on that that that's definitely one of them.

spk_1:   7:54
You know, um, one of the things that it's nice about walking ah, walking or being outside is that it kind of feels like freedom. In a sense, it feels like, you know, we're locked away. We're stuck in our house, is we can't do anything. Getting Beyonce inside is kind of boring. So it's really nice to get outside and because, you know, we shouldn't be. We shouldn't be stuck inside all day on our computers. Our brains just can't handle it. Our bodies can handle it. We need to get outside, um, and just walk

spk_0:   8:22
or sent or anything, especially if, like if we're doing schools different. If you're watching TV all day, when you're learning your engage, your mind is engaged the whole day looking at a screen that becomes problematic,

spk_1:   8:32
right? You know, when your mind is, we're here to see some time to decompress and relax. And it's nice to relax, and it's fun to relax. Ah, while watching TV. But it's better to relax outside. They watch TV while watching show outside. Watch the show outside. You know?

spk_0:   8:48
You know you're suggesting this, Ethan, which you're being intolerant of me. You wanna

spk_1:   8:53
know why you're being intolerant, being intolerant of you?

spk_0:   8:55
My wife. I does not extend to mont to the my back. Oh, OK, John, I suppose Toe watch TV outside. How am I supposed to do school outside so you can just see something just so I can suffer? Because I know I'm not able to do the

spk_1:   9:11
right. I definitely knew your WiFi doesn't extend outside. I knew

spk_0:   9:14
it. And that violates the United Nations Convention on the suffering of a child. Oh, doesn't know a suffering of a 14 year old due to lack of WiFi.

spk_1:   9:26
You really are Prince Josh.

spk_0:   9:27
I have a prince, you know, you know, But if I was a prince Ethan, you'd be getting me good. WiFi. That's if I was a prince. You got any good WiFi, you know, You know, one downside of going outside you have to say is there's a lot of mosquitoes. That's true. I have, like, maybe five or six different mosquito bites along my body. I don't know, just trying to look. I'm looking my beautiful big arms from working out just yet. Their beauty Josh Beautiful. But we have a lot of mosquitoes and we had a big scare a couple years ago. Be scared with Zika. Zika was mainly in Florida on the West Nile in Houston's. We had a couple a little bit and pregnant mothers weren't going a little bit of a scare. But, um, that is the biggest excuse now, but I here for people who don't want to go inside. So my my sisters like, Oh, I can't go outside. I may be pregnant. My sisters like 21. I may be pregnant and I don't want to get Zika. I'm like my dad's like, first of all, who the hell would get you pregnant? Nobody get you pregnant and I can't go outside. Zika, it is gonna get May. All my sisters want to do is claim, like Zika is gonna get them and they won't go outside and take on walks for us.

spk_1:   10:39
You know that the other night we're having in outside of me my family and we were getting, you know, live by Miss You toes. It's about it's that 56 oclock seven o'clock time that evening time when the Macedo's air just just coming out. And they're really just getting you.

spk_0:   10:56
Yeah. No, no. And my family tried a 1,000,000 different things to get rid of them. My my dad is so so into mosquito netting. It drives me crazy. So we have this, like, awning thing. It's like a room which comes out and you collect sit under it, Um and oh, my dad wants to do this right? Mosquito nets over the sign. And the funny thing about the mosquito that's their big white mosquito nets. Yeah, so you can just sitting inside and inside the mosquito nets. You can't see out because the mosquito nets are so thick and dense and nobody can see in. So it doesn't feel like we're outside. We're not getting the breeze, but we don't get the mosquitoes.

spk_1:   11:32
You know what? There's no perfect time because one maybe the skills are out in the middle of day. Only a few of them. Ah, and like the at noon ish. But that's the time when it's the hottest evening time. It's so nice out. A nice breeze. It's the sun is going down. But after the mosquitoes are out. So you know, sometimes outdoors could be a bitch, but it's nice sometimes I

spk_0:   11:54
don't know if I'd call the streets of concrete. Houston, Texas the outdoors through the corona outdoors. Sarona solution has the most trees per capita of any city in the United States of America.

spk_1:   12:08
I didn't know that, Josh. Yeah, well, interesting.

spk_0:   12:10
So we can claim that though we do have the most concrete per capita as well. I know we don't Probably New York probably has that. Yeah. Uh, and then we probably have the most pollution per capita. Thank you. Bill Field, Texas Texan oil field and Texas City refineries. But, um, Houston, Texas. I don't know if I call up the outdoors isn't

spk_1:   12:30
You know what? It's not the outdoors, but it's the best we can have during Corona.

spk_0:   12:35
And we have to say thank you t the trees for filtering our air. So we could not read. And because we can breathe, you don't have to be on ventilators, so thank God. So, everybody, this concludes our walking talk with Ethan Josh Corona virus Zoom version, Prepare for the future. It's gonna be pretty hype, and I'm gonna let even do the closing right

spk_1:   12:56
