Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 2: Today's tip is that you don't have to branch out
Speaker 2: if you know your tastes and you don't especially crave variety,
Speaker 2: there is no need to feel obligated to change things.
Speaker 1: Just stick with what you like. On my other podcast,
Speaker 1: Best of Both Worlds, my co host Sarah hart Unger
Speaker 1: recently commented that Pink Lady apples were her favorite apples.
Speaker 1: I asked how she felt about honeycrisps, which I tend
Speaker 1: to like, and she said they were pretty good, but
Speaker 1: she implied that she basically had no use for them
Speaker 1: in a place where grocery stores with Pink Lady apples
Speaker 1: are abundant, why should she. Some people like trying a
Speaker 1: variety of different apples, but it seems Sarah isn't one
Speaker 1: of those people. She likes Pink Lady apples and is
Speaker 1: perfectly content without other apples in her life. She commented
Speaker 1: that her husband has a cinnamon raised in Dave's Killer
Speaker 1: bagel just about every day. No need to investigate other
Speaker 1: bagel options, which means this is one less thing to
Speaker 1: think about. So hey, good for him. When you are
Speaker 1: happy with something and not bored with the repetition and
Speaker 1: not curious about alternatives, you can just leave it at that.
Speaker 1: You don't have to branch out now. Personally, I like
Speaker 1: trying different foods, but there are plenty of places where
Speaker 1: I have no desire to switch things up either. I
Speaker 1: have a uniform for summer that involves cropped jeans, flats,
Speaker 1: and slightly longer sleeveless tops. I don't feel the need
Speaker 1: to change this up. I have been wearing my hair
Speaker 1: more or less the same way for years. I am
Speaker 1: sure there are other fascinating styles, but oh well, same
Speaker 1: with the magazine articles I occasionally read about getting new
Speaker 1: throw pillows to change up your living room. Look, I think, hey,
Speaker 1: my living room is fine. No need to branch out
Speaker 1: from what is there. We go to the same beach
Speaker 1: town for a week or two every summer. I hear
Speaker 1: there are other beaches, But you know what, I am fine.
Speaker 1: I know that plenty of people feel stretched these days.
Speaker 1: A lot of the demands on our time are significant
Speaker 1: and hard to escape. If you have little kids, aging parents,
Speaker 1: and an intense job, plus all the usual life maintenance responsibilities.
Speaker 1: There is already a lot that you really do have
Speaker 1: to do and have to think about, but Apple selection
Speaker 1: just isn't one of those things. So if you are
Speaker 1: happy with what you've got in some category from travel
Speaker 1: to close to music to restaurants, and you don't desire
Speaker 1: a change, then there is no reason to branch out.
Speaker 1: You have my permission to go with what you like.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
Speaker 1: here's to making the most of our time. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to Before Breakfast. If you've got questions, ideas, or feedback,
