Things I learned last night.
03:34
So what's up? Who's JoyMill?
03:43
okay, I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. I'm not going to lie. I stopped listening to you because you brought to lingo and all I could think about is duolingo social media. Oh yeah, because it's the craziest thing. How the streak do you have right now? Oh, it's bad. I've been having a hard time keeping up with it because here's my duolingo usage has always been get out of the gym.
04:04
go into the sauna and do do a lingo in the sauna into my phone overheats and that's how I know I hit my time. I guess that's time all right, but I've been having a hard time making it to the gym lately. I don't know if you can tell by how fat my face is. Can you see it that about my gosh don't give me that you every day we end our phone calls and Jaron says by the way your face is looking really fat every single phone call. I never say that
04:34
I say Pudgee. I Dueling has got a crazy social media. Whoever runs a social media, we don't have time Alex as a meeting. Oh, I don't care. I joy that you switch to two X shirts though. Yeah, really certain yeah the hide the budge yeah, so enjoy mail and I think the best place to start with joy, Milan is a gut by a guy would you with Millen, Milton, Milani, Milen,
05:02
Okay, dream meal.
05:09
I nailed it to a mill. That's do a lingo for you guys. don't know for all you who aren't called language speakers. No, okay, so no le literally the second word you like crap. I don't know that one. know language. What's your do a lingo streak?
05:37
one hundred and four. That's what I was just talking about. It is frustrated, because I'm not going to lie every time I try to continue my streak. I open it up and it gives me a notification to congratulate you on hitting a new milestone and it makes me so mad every time because you started it because I had a streak. I had a I started. You were a wife had a streak. She had a four day streak and then she gave up and I have a hundred and forty eight days to great up
05:59
but also we were at Disney the other day and there was a Mariachi band as the race. know there was a Mariachi band playing. You got a friend in me yeah and she goes we're walking away and she goes. So did you understand that and I went? I am enraged that I have a hundred and forty eight day streak on Duolingo
06:21
I don't understand a word they said all you know how to do is buy jeans. I'm really I'm kind of like I don't think this thing works. I will say well, because I was like two fifty something when I crashed out, but I was on Chinese and I watched a documentary and it was in China and in that documentary there was moments where I was like I was like I think I understood that sentence, but I didn't know for sure. I just thought I understood it, but it took you a full almost a year.
06:49
yeah understand a couple words. That's what I'm saying, but that would remember high school Spanish. It was the same thing high school Spanish. You spent a year in high school Spanish and you were like this still doesn't make any sense. I know I'm working on it. You're working on high school yeah. I never passed okay yeah just like college and how they call you alumni, a distinguished alumni, so if we're doing bits, let me do what I mine
07:14
who's join mill. Oh yeah joy. The best place to start with joy is to talk about another guy instead this guy by the name of T lo, coon, ath, oh, T lo, do you now have her you're supposed to? I'm not doing the we've we're now eight minutes into an episode that we don't know what they were talking about. No, we already wrote five and theme song twice because we just you just freaking keep talking dude.
07:44
I was thinking about this the other day. was no no stop. I'm setting boundaries. We're doing the episode. We're not sponsored Telo Kunath. He's a Parkinson's research. Yeah, she's in that seventy show. No
08:06
she's married to Ashen Kutcher, Yikes, No, I mean not I yes. Okay, so T, low even get the joke I'm doing yeah. You're doing Milo, Kuna, Kuna's, Kumas, T, T, Mila, Mila, Kumas, Mila, Coo. I don't know famous people rough to listen to so so T, low, T, low,
08:31
Tilo. He's a parkinsons researcher at the University of Edinburgh, okay, and he had a speech about parkinson's. He was given this speech. This is like I think it was twenty ten ish somewhere around there like big Ted talk era, and so he's given a speech on parkinson's does his whole thing. He's like he's like this is everything we know about parkinson's yeah, and then he does at the end of the speech like a lot of people do. He does the open Q and A, so does the open Q and A answered a bunch of questions and so it was like how do we do we have any
09:01
progress on curing Parkinson's. He said yeah, we're making progress. We need to fund it though, so you guys could all go dump ice on yourselves and then say you'll give fifteen dollars, but never actually give any money. Yeah, I would love that to go viral and help a lot. Yeah, don't some ice on yourself, so he's doing the Q and A. Everyone answered all these questions about Parkinson's. All these people have and then the people in the aisle, the line comes up to this woman and she says
09:28
I hate a low great speech, really appreciate everything your research, everything you're doing. I just have a quick question and she says why did people with Parkinson's smell like that and he said excuse me and she said why she was why do you with back in the so why do people
09:52
with Parkinson's.
09:57
smell like that.
10:07
head. He said I really honest with you. I have no idea what you're talking about. He's like he's like I don't think that there's a distinctive smell of people. The park is he have Parkinson's no he's a resercher yeah and she says she says now you're wrong. says okay there is, but thanks and then walks away. All right, I mean yeah there is yeah there is all right. See yeah and so all right buddy. I'll talk to you later all right. By the way you smell real bad
10:37
your face is getting pudgy. I hope I never forget you, so he says like in an interview later he's like. I just dismissed it and what I said to her was his, but I'll be honest second. I got back to the lab, started to be like
11:00
his test patients are sitting there and he's he's just like he's like okay, so I need you to do this this. I want to hook this up to you and they're like. Did you just said you just sniffing like no, I got a no. just guys sometimes I just have a deviated symptom. Yeah, was just breathing sorry sorry yeah yeah yeah. That probably seemed unprofessional. Have you always smelled like that so like
11:28
so like why yeah, and so he says his response to her at the thing. said, why should people with Parkinson's have an odor? He said you want to normally think that neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's would have an odor and she's like okay, and so then afterwards they mean the lobby and he's like you want to tell me more about that weird question you asked and she was like I can smell him and he was like what she's like. I can smell people with Parkinson's. I they have a very distinctive smell
11:56
she's like a friggin drug dog, so she tells him to pull the canine unit. I feel like we got some some Parkinson's over here, so she tells of her husband walks there. Oh
12:14
Yeah. So she goes on. No.
12:21
she goes on to tell him that she has this condition called hyper osmia, which effectively is it's just a heighten. Is joy? that who that is yeah? Joy her name is joy okay, and so joy is like while I suffer from hyper osmia and so it's just a heightened sense of smell. She can smell stuff really, really well like really, really well. I apply for the police department.
12:44
and they were like what position he wants. She's like want to be with the dog. I want to be one of the dogs. I want to be one of the cow. want to be in the canine unit. Oh okay, yeah, we'll give you a duck. No, I want to be let me canine, let me run the fields and smell for bones. I can find the field and smell for all right. She's just so matter fact, which is like. I mean they do, but okay, she walks in so it's out. She's like
13:13
there's a dead guy here. There's you have a dead guy underneath your house. Yeah sure that's what mediums are. People thought they were talking to the ghost. They just they just smell the dead around here. I smell your dad, smell your dead
13:31
In the early days of this show, we did like affiliate ads where we were like a sign up for grammarly and use code till and and we got like fifteen cents and now we just do patreon. It's a much better way. It's better for us as creators. It's better for you as listeners and it's a much more fun way for us to interact. We do monthly hangouts like on zoom. We just hang out and play games online and and get to know each other. It's a really fun time so
13:58
but still use our code till in at grammerly dot com because I think it's still I might get like a couple cents from that, but join us on patreon because we're having a great time. If you don't, we're going to have to start doing mobile game ads.
14:16
or that the smells just super strong and so all of her life. Yeah, it's a real condition that's where it's genetic and so it's interesting hearing her talk about it because she's like there's like obviously things that smell really good. It's fantastic. It's the best thing in the world because I love it yeah, but then things that smell really bad. It's pretty torture awful yeah and so she can catch smells that most of the rain catch. I don't think so.
14:40
I don't believe you. Why is it that I can grow my muscles and my legs and my arms, but I can't train my Nazis? I mean, I think it's the same reason why you can't train your eyes like your eyes can't get better. You can train your eyes get contacts. Maybe we could make context for your nose, speaking of eyes so the other night. Okay, all right,
14:58
So you know how you think that if someone breaks in your house, you're just to spread down the hallway. I found out what I would do. Oh, did someone break in your house? Well, I wake up in middle of night and I hear there's a specific tile in our hallway that when you step on it right and I heard that tile yeah and and so I look up the first thing I do if I wake up in the middle of night and I'm kind like what's going on as I look at our pets yeah because like if they're just chilling that's a normal moe. I'm let our cat is looking straight at the door yeah and I'm like oh
15:27
crap something's out there, so I jumped out of bed and I literally like load up because my plan just so know someone comes into our bedroom. My door, our door opens in right. My plan is to full bum rush that door yeah to like body weight into the dock, him into the not a lock him just like I'm trying to. I want them to come halfway into the room so I can pin them
15:48
yeah in the door frame in the door right. That's what I mean. Lock up with your body, go yeah, yeah, or at least like let's say they're open. I'm going to break their forearm yeah that way like I can stun them and then run on the hallway right and I'm literally my door. The door moves and I like gosh and I felt my eyes. This is what I thought about. I literally felt my eyes do like what focus yes literally I thought my eyes zoom and it's now it's like it's for four thirty in the morning and I'm like oh my gosh, this is happening. Someone's out there and I sit there and I literally just wait
16:16
and the door doesn't move and so now I but I reach for it. I grab it and I lunge into the hallway and I learned in that moment that the first thing I did was look at my cat. The first thing I should have done
16:30
was look to see if my wife was still because I scared the heck out of both of us broke her eye. Well, okay, and then I was like this is how spouses get shot. That's what happens. Yeah times as people grab their gun and they think of in the house and they shoot their spouse. They shoot their kid or you know, so I did what I had to do to defend my home and
17:00
so she's got a heightened smell, so she can sell stuff. Does it work for? I mean obviously I would assume it works for other stuff, but she just wandering on a hospital now like walking in a room like here's what happened. Oh yeah, they have a Pentecitis. Here's what happened. She's sixteen runs away your pettis is about to pass.
17:19
hey, I'm not a medical professional, but you should go to a doctor and get that checked out because you have a really distinct smell about you and I feel like maybe you have an underlying condition that's maybe revealing itself to your orifices and the smells that you're emanating to the rubber out. You go beat up with her for coffee, you're a Panera bread.
17:34
and it's like oh hey, good time. He's like no, I'm doing a different bit. I'm doing a different, but you can't go. You're a panera bread like it's one word. You're a panera bread. She's just call it Panera, come in, go for the hug. It's like a dog time to see she's like oh you're you're clinically depressed, aren't you? She's like I smell the sadness. Oh, I smell the sad
18:01
okay. Oh no, that's just the urine. I haven't been able to get out of bed and use the bathroom for a week, so yeah, I've just been too sad. I've been going to the bathroom on yourself. Yeah, it's the only warmth I've got
18:18
okay, okay, okay, counseling's in session next door. By the way he came over here today. He was. was like you got sessions saying he's like yeah, he said it just like that. He did he came or anyway yeah, oh no, so he's over there. So actually we had a bit because he's he's on the other side of the wall. He's doing counseling over here. He said that he listened to. He heard us talking about the boss and marathon, the road, the episode we did and he goes something about waffle house and the boss and marathon and I said wait. This is a new bit
18:46
yeah. Now we're to record these episodes and then right after we're done, we're going to have you come over here and we're going to call it tillin overheard and I just and you're going to try to figure out what we talked about based on what you heard through the walls. While your count someone's P, right he's on the right track to be honest, right track. No, so she was sixteen, so she
19:12
sixteen years, sixteen years old, no, no, this was a way later in life. This was the way that in life, but back when she was sixteen yeah, she met her husband less and she said the thing that attracted her to him first was his smell, because she's a smell person right and so it used to be non non yeah. He changed it to less, because he's not after kill that guy. So so she was attracted to his he's attracted to a smell
19:42
the way she says it hate this sentence. You're going to love it. He had a lovely male musk smell. That was how she described him. Love that. That was the name of the cologne I bought when I was an eighth grade lovely male. Was that bod? Yes, I had the same one by
20:05
Oh, that was a bit. That was a joke. You were serious. Okay, so would you buy it? J C Penny? No, it's actually a gift. Someone gave it to me. That's always how it goes, and here's the thing. If you're buying an eighth grade boy, bottle of cologne, maybe just say hey buddy shower more. Don't be passive aggressive with your Christmas gifts. Just tell him hey man, you got to start wearing deodorant. You smell yeah, that's pretty good. I think that's what I want to get you next to cologne, because I think I think a cologne like a cologne gift box is like one those things where it's like
20:35
it's like I don't know what to get you yeah yeah. I did I did and this is not a joke. This is not a bit okay. Yeah, I used that sleep mask last night in my hotel. Was it good took it off fifteen minutes in it's so bulky. It's so hard to lay on the pillow with you know all these people who were doing as they're lying man, it's not comfortable at all. I will say this is that you know what blocked out just as much light as the zero light
21:03
a mass you bought your I the God gave me it's like I didn't do it. Thank you God for this mask. Thank you God for my I mass. Thank you God for this yeah. We just are doing anti ads on tick tock. We're like hey guys, you want better sleep close your eyes close those eyes. That's probably what your problem is. You're one of the morning going close them close the I sleep so much. Your eyes are closed. You'd sleep better so so she's
21:32
use promo code close them to close your eyes.
21:39
if you type close up in your phone, your eyes are closer. You'll never be able to open up again. Yeah, I'll tell you what the guy I sat next to on the flight last night had an unpleasant male musk and and I was like I wish joy was here to smell this man, so about ten years into their marriage. Yeah less is now third thirty one. She's thirty years old. She's a nurse. She works at okay. She's a yeah. I don't know what she was doing at the time,
22:09
and she says he comes home from work and all of sudden one day she's like. Why do you smell like that and she was like he was like what do mean he's like you smell different and she he's like I'll shower I guess and then she's like from that point forward he just smelled different and she's like I didn't understand why and all of a sudden his just sent changed and she was like it was kind of sad for me because that was the only reason I like. She said that was the first thing that attracted her to it. They started to go distant
22:39
and suddenly they were eating dinner out a lot like at Red Lobster silently.
22:47
and he's like babe joy. What do I? What do need me to do? Like what can I change? Yeah and she goes, I don't even know if you can just gonna smell different, just something in the air between us
23:05
so a little over ten years later he's in his early forties okay, and she starts noticing her or his disposition is changing yeah by forty five he ends up getting diagnosed with Parkinson's and so she still hasn't connected the dots. They're doing all the treatments. Eventually they start going to a treatment like group like a treatment small group for people with Parkinson. She starts to smell they go to the treatment group
23:33
she sits down in that room and she's like what is going on here and so she goes home and they're on the drive home and she's like time she's sitting in this group and like everyone else like is there being a supportive spouse or whatever and she's just in there.
23:50
she's got that looker face and like they do smell like a dude. Everyone's like okay. Did you see less his wife? She was so disgusted by all of us dude. I just have Parkinson's. I'm not leprosy like it's not contagious. Yeah freaking yeah is it contagious? I don't
24:15
think it is pretty sure it's not. pretty sure it's not. I hate that you were like I don't think that one like ninety nine, but I mean there's a way to be like like who knows you pay that you can smell it yeah. It was kind of like that was really rude of her yeah, and so they get in the car and she's driving home and she's like less. This is going to sound a little crazy, but I got to tell you whoever smelt it dealt it all those people smell like you
24:45
and so he starts to think oh that's curious and so they long story short end up connecting the dots that the smell that he that changed in him was Parkinson's because Parkinson's is usually the condition you don't catch for decades after you so I need over. need to get her to smell us really early like the Harry Potter sorting hat. So I just walk up and she can go you're clear, you're clear,
25:13
and so over tests, but but she would just sniff yeah and so she tells this researcher all this. Oh man, what if she got cove it and lost her sense of smell? What a wild ride to go from smell my so much selling so little like nothing. You know
25:35
so I don't know why, but yeah, so we're trying to smell. She tells this research all this okay, and he's like he's like this is really interesting. I'd love to check this out and so he goes to try to get funding for this and everybody in academia is like stupid. Yeah, this is the dumbest thing I ever heard, so he manages to put together like kind of like a ad hoc like small sure experiment to like almost like a proof of concept. So he gets a group of ten people
26:04
five people with Parkinson's, five people without and brings them and does sets up like an actual like real experiment. It's double blind. So he has someone else go grab shirts from all of them. They walk in the room. The guy's like, me your shirt and then they take all the shirts, bag them up separately so they don't contaminate each other. They take joy into a room, hand the shirts to a different researcher. So this person doesn't know what shirts are the contaminated shirts, the Parkinson's shirts, and then they
26:33
to have her on bag them sniff them and sort them Parkinson's and not Parkinson's and so just based on smelling their shirt just from selling, smelling their shirt. What a weird experiment
26:53
what she's on the pit. No, she was actually some on the neckline.
27:01
Do you have it?
27:12
Thanks for checking out this episode. you like it, there is some great news for you. We have a mailing list. that mailing list, we give updates on past episodes. So things in the news, things that happen for episodes. We've got over 200 episodes we've done and every week things are changing. New updates are coming out and we're keeping you up to date on what's happening in the happenings of Till and Topics. So if you want to keep learning stuff, even beyond the content of the episodes, that's a great place to do it. Also, we give updates on things that's happening in the Till and Verse.
27:38
I like that. I've never said Tilenverse before, but I'm sticking with it. If you want to know what's happening in the Tilenverse, that's the best place to do it. You can go to Tilen.com. There's a link in the description or you can text Tilen to 66866. There's a lot of ways to sign up for the mailing list to make sure you keep up to date with everything that we've talked about and everything that's going on in the Tilenverse. But anyways, now back to this episode.
28:04
yeah, so she's all these shirts okay and she put all five people with Parkinson's correctly in the Parkinson's group. She did make one mistake though, because there was five control people. She put one of them in the Parkinson's group, but that was still good enough where they're like that's a pretty impressive like rate to only get one wrong two years later turns out she only got one wrong control group and so
28:32
at Parkinson's, so Tilo takes this writes up a little paper okay and then goes back and he's like he's like look what I found he's like someone fund a bigger experiment like I think there's something going on here that we don't know about yeah. I think Parkinson's people smell like that and in this paper I will cover Parkinson's people do indeed sell like that Parkinson's people.
29:01
do need so like that or put another way.
29:08
Parkinson's personas. The thing or Roma see it's working dueling go. I don't know the words I use code do use code close. So the researcher goes out trying to get funding academia still like this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
29:35
so it kind of goes underground for a while. He's just like he's he's got it in his brain. He's like he's like I think something's here. I really want to do a large scale study. I can't get funding for it. He continued and they can't find anybody else who can smell that yeah yeah. No, it's just her. She's the only person well they he hasn't done a wide scale research like he's just had that meeting with her sure and so so he's like kind of has to go back into just the regular like life and so he's still going around doing his conferences talking about Parkinson's telling people about it.
30:05
and one of these conferences he comes across that guy in the control route that she miss identified and he was like he's like oh he's like it's funny seeing you here. He's like did that just interest you in that? Did you find some interest? He's like well actually two months later I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I that's crazy right wait a minute and so he was like hold on say that again. He's like let me record that again say you say it in Spanish this time. How many languages could you say that
30:33
So after that he publishes a follow up and he publishes the follow up all of a sudden. All the research institutions were like oh hey, you want some money she does she had she found it before it was even diagonal before it was diagnosed and so then a lot of people started lining up to fund it and so then they started doing now she sits on a golden throne at a hospital. She's like this is my smell seat University of Kansas medical and she just sits there and just
31:03
and they walk in like hello almighty joy. We have person he's sick. Tell us Alex is looking at me like is that an accent like what's he doing? Alex is like is that offensive? What is he doing because you're like
31:25
you did a weird bailed maybe three words. I'm still very much trying it. I was still trying really hard to accent. I don't know what the accent was. I don't know from the start.
31:40
There was never a bail. That was earnest the whole time.
31:50
that's crazy. What accident was that? It was supposed to be like like maybe I was just leaving it because if you define it, then it's absolutely right. It was never. It was never offensive. It was like mid a medieval. It was supposed to be mid like so like that's what we all got that crazy dude.
32:22
okay. You were going peasant like hello yeah like she's like to you from a far yeah. Here's a sick person came out this person sounds like he did not come out like well. It's all about intent right.
32:45
I cry. Oh my gosh! Okay, so anyway yeah, so now they got funding yeah, get funding crazy and then they go for a larger round of research and long story short through this research. They end up discovering okay. She can actually smell Parkinson's and smell park and what they discover is that people with Parkinson's yeah they

there's hold on and see if I can get this right. There's some basis gland. I think I said that right so basis gland okay, which is essentially a gland that's in any of your like hair fall, fall, a coals yeah and so like if you get a set that's pretty much the juice that comes out of it. I hate that it's called sebum and so sebum is that just like oils, the oils that you're sebum yeah, see them like the body builder. What sebum? How do you spell it? Look up see
33:44
buim just google see buim a guarantee. Oh, whoa, see bum chris bumstead yep. He goes by sebum does by sebum yeah. I bet he smells he's got energy drinks called sebum interesting. Yeah, I've never heard of a bum juice. Apparently it's just a sweat gland. It's just well, it's not sweat. That's the important thing. It's not actually sweat, but it's it's a an oily secretion that every human has and so that's what the you your sweat is your smell
34:13
your sebum is also your smell and they kind of mix together to make your smell okay, but people with Parkinson's the chemical makeup of their sebum is different and so the chemicals in there obviously affect the smell. Most of us don't have strong enough nostrils to catch that okay smell, but she does and so she was able to start figuring that out so
34:36
Are you? Are they then able to test the glands for early detection of Parkinson's? Is that where this goes? So what they've done is they created a swab where they can just swab in really anywhere on your skin to get some of your sea bum and then they can check that chemical makeup of that and see if you're see them to see if you have Parkinson's yeah and through this research they've just the early signs of Parkinson's
34:59
I don't know if there are really any really early signs like that. The thing is like you have it for like a decade where it like just slowly deteriorates you and then all of a sudden you start shaking yeah and that's like usually the shakes is when people start to realize that that's usually the first identifier, but you've had it for usually like a decade before that and just had no idea and by then it's like well. I mean at any point there's really no cure, but there's treatments there sure sure sure to so
35:27
they created this this swap yeah and that's still kind of being rolled out. It's not universally accepted yet, but they're still rolling out this swab that was like mid twenty twenties that that came out so really recent that they came out with the swap and now they're doing some more research with her because she's a nurse and she's like she's like here's the deal she's like she's like I knew for a fact when I went into that Parkinson's meeting that oh that's Parkinson's smell yeah and she's like but I'm to be honest with you I'm a nurse she's like
35:56
I'm pretty confident. I've always kind of in the back of my mind and like oh you smell like cancer. You smell like Alzheimer's you smell like this like when people come in because she's like I've just been around all that yeah and I've started to identify a pattern of smells. You smell like cancer. It's a crazy thing to say.
36:18
you smell like cancer. Okay, okay, you should get checked all right. All right, that's rude. I think I'm not sure what to so so he she they start researching this and realizing oh most of these things that she's talking about. They do actually have a different chemical makeup in the sea of people who have this and so they're starting to
36:48
to create these swabs and tests where swap it put it in. If it comes up kind of like really any other test where you just put it put the chemical in it. What if it identifies those chemicals yeah you have this condition, what they do on cops where they put a little bit of meth in the thing. If it turns pink that's mess pretty much yeah and so yeah they go they got all the fun colors. You have Parkinson's I know it's what a sucky way to fire like a pool chlorine test just for again
37:19
So anyway, now it takes a couple of like takes a couple of minutes. Yeah, we'll have to have to see what happens here. This is rather offensive now that I'm thinking through it, but you're clear Alzheimer's your wife did cheat on you and see that and that's in there. I get you smell like someone who's been cheated on. You smell like some you smell divorced, so they've they've proved that
37:49
when she sat in front of the audience with everybody else there and said why do people with Parkinson's smell like that she wasn't making it up. She wasn't making it up. She really can smell Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and cancer and pretty much any condition she can smell. The real question is can she smell what the rock is cooking
38:09
Okay, forget that. We can fiddle it off. Forget that. hate that joke. The floor's wet.

Hey, thanks for watching this episode of things on last night. If you liked that and you want more kind of sciencey experimental stuff, we did a whole episode about Dede Palmer, a scientist slash doctor who had some crazy theories on what could fix someone's hearing. He claimed to have helped a deaf man recover his hearing, so Dede Palmer is a great episode. We hope you enjoy that one. If you want to see next week's episode right now, you can join us on Patreon. That's a way to support the show financially and just kind of help us keep going.
38:52
keep making more episodes and also you get stuff a week early ad free and you to join our discord with us and Alex and all of our really good friends and fans, and so we do a monthly hang out in there.
