00:00I think rage. I think she feels she's having some impulsivity issues,
00:07which I think are partly meant to be hormonal because of menopause and perhaps partly just
00:14what we all feel in middle age, which is what's the point? What's our purpose here?
00:20What's the purpose of this wealth around me? My children are leaving and
00:28I want a pristine backyard. Why is it that I want that so badly? I haven't really talked to my
00:36boss
00:37about this, but I feel like in some ways they're on kind of a parallel track of total destruction.
00:45So I guess I feel like my interpretation is that's part of the attraction between them is that they
00:54both can't, can't tolerate that kind of like suburban, that suburban ennui, that country club,
01:06the parties, the thing, the thing. So I guess my fantasy is, is that they're meant to be because
01:14of that. I think it's fun when in stories, when there's a character who doesn't know something and
01:25you're waiting to answer the question, can you ever really know someone you love? Can you ever really,
01:35what if they have another family? What if they have another life? Like that whole question and,
01:40and that sense of suspense in a story, I think is really fun. More people are finding out
01:48he's in trouble. He's in trouble now. I think I'm allowed to say that. I think more and more people
01:54are getting in on it. And so he is, you know, he's playing with fire more and more. And I
02:02think that's
02:02fun because when, when is it, when is, when is it going to blow up? I will not leave dog
02:12shit at
02:13someone's front door ever. When I have road rage, I will, I try to control myself.
