1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you missed in History Class A production 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: of I Heart Radio, Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Holly 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Fry and I'm Tracy V. Wilson. So we talked about 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: Madeline Pollard and William Breckinridge this week. There was lots 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: of growling. There will be more. Um. I did want 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: to mention though, I I said during the episode we 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: would probably regroup back on um the spy that that 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Breckinridge had had hired. One of the books that I 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: read about this trial went in a little bit more 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: to Jenny's backstory. So uh, that was of course Jane 11 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: Armstrong Tucker. And she too, I mean, was a woman. 12 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: It's easy to make her a villain to say that 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: he hired a spy. This was not a person who 14 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: was like I will uh dig dirt on people for money. 15 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: She had like worked as like an administrative assistant type 16 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: role in an office. I think of breckin Ridges or 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: of one of his friends, and they kind of were like, 18 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: we need a young woman of roughly the same age 19 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: who could maybe you know, make friends with this person. 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: And she was also from a family that had had 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: had financial difficulties and so she is also in some 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: ways kind of I don't know if exploited is the 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: right word, but she is a woman who is in 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: a position where she couldn't really say no to this offer, 25 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: and you know, from very powerful men. So I just 26 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: want to make sure we acknowledge that, Like, there are 27 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: many layers to the awful privilege that is exerted in 28 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: this story, um pretty much everywhere you look, and she 29 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: is one of them as well. There is a book 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: published that is like the notes that Jenny kept about 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and it's kind of interesting because she 32 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: when you read about their relationship, I mean, she was 33 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: stayed close with Madeline throughout all of this, Like she 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: would go visit her as her friend. I'm using the 35 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: air quotes, you know, as the trial was playing out 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: after she had left the convent, which apparently one of 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: the things that really just like was too much for 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: her to handle was that they didn't eat very well. 39 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Um as she couldn't take it. But she you know, 40 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: would show up and it was like she was still 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: having a heart to hearts and she kind of suspected 42 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: several times that Madeline knew what the scoop was and 43 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: that she was in fact relaying information back to Breckinridge, 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: but they still kept this strange Whether it was staged 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: or genuine is unclear to all of the parties. I think, um, 46 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: this strange friendship, and that's just kind of an interesting 47 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: rabbit hole. But it's all speculative in terms of who 48 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: knew what and understood what and how they might have 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: been manipulating one another. Boy. This story is an angry 50 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: maker for me. Something I didn't get into is his 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: kids and how this impacted them, because it did seem like, 52 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he is a complicated man, because he clearly 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: was in many ways a jerk. He also seemed to 54 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: be a very loving and adoring father who was always 55 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: worried about his kids throughout all of this, even though 56 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: like they were kind of coming into adulthood some of them. Um, 57 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, he had been married well before he met her. 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: Louise was his third wife. The part where they were 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: reading her writing as evidence reminded me of the Reynolds 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: pamphlet Yes, and how Alexander Hamilton's was printing like Mariah 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: Reynolds letters to him as evidence of her like character 62 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: and that like her tone and writing. When we did 63 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: that episode, there were people who got really upset that 64 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: felt like I was making fun of her literacy. And really, 65 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: what it was that Captain aided me about her letters 66 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: is the tone of them was like breathless in a 67 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: way that uh just seemed like constantly on the edge 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: of like I don't know, there was a just a 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: like a breathless energy to all of it. But then 70 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: he printed those letters complete with all of their like 71 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: nonstandard spelling. How embarrassing that must have been for her 72 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: to like have that kind of dragged out to be like, well, 73 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: here's evidence of what this person is like. I mean, 74 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: can you imagine you maybe don't have this problem as 75 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: much as I do, but I walk in text Can 76 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: you imagine if someone just published your text history? Yeah, 77 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: people would be like, Holly Fry isn't uneducated ding dong 78 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 1: who does not know how to spell a single word? 79 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Had Remember when that that when the bad art Friend 80 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: article came out and like went viral and that was 81 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: all everybody talked about for about forty eight hours. I 82 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: was like, I really hope nobody ever subpoenas my group 83 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: chat's right, I don't need that. Yeah, it's it's awful 84 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: and it really is I mean again, it also comes 85 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: with this whole unsavory thing of making fun of people's 86 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: earnest art, which is just like one of those things 87 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: that gets my hackles up anyway. You know, those were 88 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: not things she was writing, everythinging like, oh this will 89 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: be read aloud in court to determine whether or not 90 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: I really mean to be a writer or not, Like 91 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: every single writer I know published unpublished, incredibly skilled versus 92 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: like I'm pretty good, but I'm getting better, Like every 93 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: writer I know looks back at their older work and 94 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: it's like, yikes, because you're theoretically progressing throughout. So like 95 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: I would not want anything that I had not put 96 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: out for public consumption suddenly thrust into the spotlight as 97 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: a determiner of my value or my intent. Ye smokes. 98 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: The last time I moved there was definitely like a 99 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: trove of old notebooks. I found that I was like 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: destroying this right now, running all these pages through the shredder. Right, 101 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: how much fire can I make without becoming dangerous? Yeah? Yeah, 102 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the I am the one thing that gives me a 103 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: little a bit of comfort. And all of this is 104 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: how women's groups really did mobilize very quickly to be 105 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: like they pointed out the problems with this. It wasn't 106 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: like we're looking back with a lens and being like, 107 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: there's a horrible double standard. People at the time, we're like, 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: are y'all seeing this? Are you understanding that? Like he 109 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: went from claiming she was just promiscuous and that that 110 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: made it okay for him to have an affair with 111 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: her to saying that she was like some sort of 112 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, vampiric temptress who was the life out of 113 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: him and taking all of his money. And and you know, 114 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: that shift in tone even evidenced like he's a weasel. 115 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: He's a weasel in this regard, and he's trying to 116 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: weasel out of his weaselly weasel nous, like for many 117 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: a very big touchstone. Like I said, people some people 118 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: thought like, oh, she really got, you know, run through 119 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: the mill by this much older man who had all 120 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: of the power. And other people were like, oh, she's 121 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: you gotta be careful, don't have sexual agency, because that's bad. 122 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: It's a good lens to look at and think about 123 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: how far we have and have not come. As I 124 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: often say when we discuss matters of social moories, I 125 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: am very glad that she went on to have a 126 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: very fun later life. Yeah, same fan had just like 127 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: what sounds awesome. She had a best friend she traveled 128 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: around the world with. They. I didn't go into it, 129 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: but like in her travel she was often like at 130 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: the center of interesting things happening, or like as you know, 131 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, like she was in Paris at the same 132 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: time that like the salons of Paris were turning out, 133 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: like the famous writers that you know, we all think about, 134 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: like all of the expats that were living in Paris 135 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: in the twenties and having this amazing life. She was 136 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: there for a lot of that. M So she really 137 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: got to do some pretty cool stuff, which makes me 138 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: happy after the horrible situation she went through. Ye, may 139 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: we all find happiness and hopefully not have to go 140 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: through horrible situations. But if we do, I hope there's 141 00:08:50,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: happiness after that week on the show, we talked about unicorns, 142 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: which was like a weird opposite of the Platypus episode. Yes, 143 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: because that was a real animal people thought was fake. Yeah, 144 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: and this uh more of a mythical animal that various 145 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: people thought was a real, living, breathing thing. Yes, I 146 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: mentioned that there is a fictional thing in pop culture 147 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: that I wanted to talk about, And it's actually two things, 148 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: but related to one thing, which is Futurama. Okay, Futurama 149 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: had two different instances where kind of unicorn mythology made 150 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: its way in. One is a very funny episode called 151 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: Spanish Fry where the inhabitants of Omicron Percy I eight uh, 152 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: which is lure if you've ever watched Futurama, it's that 153 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: that big giant, slightly lizard e species that is very hilarious. Um, 154 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: they believe that human horn is an aff dgiac, by 155 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: which they mean a nose, and so they steal from 156 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: at one point, and it basically is like the unicorn story, 157 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: but just applied in a completely different context and you 158 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: start to realize pretty quickly what a silly thing that 159 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: would be. And the other is a much later story 160 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: that they had when they Futurama, for anybody that doesn't know, 161 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: kind of like came and went. It was, you know, 162 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 1: canceled and re picked up and like Fox dropped it. 163 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: I got picked up by Cartoon Network and then Comedy 164 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: Central had it for a while and they put out 165 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: at a point like a bunch of new stuff, and 166 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: in one of them there's this whole crazy time travel thing, 167 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: but there is a narwhall that responds really really well 168 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: to one person who we end up finding out is Um, 169 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: a main character that has time traveled and her name 170 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: is Lulu. And it's like this idea of like only 171 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: one person can connect with this animal and and it 172 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: is depressed until it meets this person and is loved 173 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: in the proper way, and it's both of them. I'm like, 174 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: somebody loves unicorn lore on this ship. Yeah. Having been 175 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: in elementary school in the nineteen eighties, I feel like 176 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: that's prime overlap to be a kid really into unicorns. 177 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: Was definitely really into unicorns. I had lots of unicorn stickers, 178 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: had my little ponies, had little plush unicorns, all of 179 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: that stuff. And then that also meant that when Ringley 180 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus came through with that unicorn, 181 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: did you go Oh? I sure did. My mom was like, 182 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna be disappointed, Like you're you're gonna 183 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: it's not gonna look like you think it's supposed to look. 184 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna be disappointed, and I think I had even 185 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: seen ads that showed it, and I still somehow thought 186 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: that it was going to be more like a horse 187 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: and less like a goat in person. It was not. 188 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: It was a very it was a goat. It was 189 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: it looked like a goat. Yeah, And then of course, 190 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: obviously there's the whole other animal rights conversation with the 191 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: goats specifically in the circus more generally. But you know, 192 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: I was eight, so yeah, I was disappointed. The big 193 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: thing I recall from the eighties and unicorns is of 194 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: course Legend sure, yeah, which is just in case any 195 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: of our listeners don't remember or Nita an update. That 196 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: was Ridley Scott's movie that came out and I think 197 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: eighties six Um, Tom Cruise, uh Mia, Sarah and of 198 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: course Tim Curry. Um, it's amazing and there's a lot 199 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: of unicorn lore in that and it is very beautifully shot, 200 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: I must say, But like I think for a lot 201 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: of kids in the eighties, that was also a big 202 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: touchstone of like, yeah, the apex of how a unicorn 203 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: should look and be on screen. Yeah, gorgeous. There was 204 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: also the film adaptation of the Last Unicorn, which is 205 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: the two I don't think I have ever seen that. 206 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: Somehow that one got through my great and I never 207 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: never got to it. As sort of just a weird 208 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: side note to all of this. The thing that had 209 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: led me to be like I want to talk about 210 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: this was the lady in the unicorn tapestries. We talked 211 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: about that. So I live in a house that is 212 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: more than a century old, and our front door has 213 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: needed to be replaced for the whole time that we 214 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: have had this house. We've just had other things to 215 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: do and also a pandemic going on. It does it 216 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: is not even with weather stripping on there. It is 217 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: not effective at keeping the cold air out of the house. 218 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Um and we have had some just bitterly cold weather 219 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. And as I was 220 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: working on this, I was like, they always hung those 221 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: tapestries on the wall and castles and things try to 222 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: keep the drafts down. Hey, I have spring rods. I 223 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: have curtains that I have used in various like podcasting setups. 224 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: What if I hung a curtain over the front door 225 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: and that was surprisingly effective, I have no doubt whatsoever, 226 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: especially because it was like a thermal curtain that I 227 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: had gotten and before we moved into this house, and 228 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: like my old podcasting set up, it was what I 229 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: used to to make the room less echoy um yeah yeah, 230 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: surprisingly effective. So if you, like me, have a front 231 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: door that just really it needs to go, we gotta 232 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: like move that up to the do maybe you can 233 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: make do for a little bit with a you know, 234 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: the curtain rod and some curtain. Yeah. We similarly have 235 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: had a lot of work being done on our house 236 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: just kind of some one some fun stuff that we 237 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do, but also like we had general maintenance 238 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: that had been neglected and needed to happen. Um, Like 239 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: our front porch was a hazard and had to be replaced. 240 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: But our back door that goes to our deck similarly 241 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: a little drafty, like you could see underneath it if 242 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: you were sitting on the couch. And so that was 243 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: one of the things that we prioritized, like, hey, could 244 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: you guys also add on the work order to put 245 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: some fresh weather stripping in here and fix this, And 246 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: they ended up putting in a whole new door and 247 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: it's magical now to not walk past it and be 248 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: like whoa yeah, yeah, yeah, well, and our the weather 249 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: stripping on ours like was professionally done. It's like the 250 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: just the fit of the door is too bad for 251 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: that a lot of help. Uh So, anyway, that's your 252 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: update on unicorns and tap streets.
