Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 672 ｜ Should Catholics & Protestants Get Married？

00:00:00.000 What would I change about my upbringing if I could? Should Catholics and Protestants get

00:00:06.200 married? How do you get through first trimester morning sickness? What are the consequences

00:00:12.560 long-term of legal euthanasia? And do Christians have to vote Republican to be Christian? We are

00:00:19.620 going to be answering all of these questions and many more on today's episode of Relatable,

00:00:23.880 which is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com slash Allie.

00:00:28.160 That's goodranchers.com slash Allie. Hey, y'all. Welcome to Relatable. I am going to answer some

00:00:43.020 of the questions that you all sent me on Instagram. You sent me a lot of interesting ones per usual.

00:00:50.380 I will try to give a concise answer to each one. I could typically, you guys send me such good

00:00:57.480 questions that I could go off on one answer for the entirety of the episode. I will try not to do

00:01:03.360 that so I can answer as many questions as possible. So the first question, it's at the very top of my

00:01:08.900 list on Instagram that I thought was interesting. I have not been asked before. If you could change

00:01:13.660 something about how you grew up, would you and why? So I'm sure that everyone has different things that

00:01:20.960 they wish maybe were different. It could have nothing to do with anything that your parents

00:01:25.100 chose. Maybe it's like where you lived geographically, the kind of school that you went

00:01:30.580 to. I'm sure there are things that if I sat down to think about it, I could change or I would want

00:01:36.300 to change. But the first thing that comes to my mind is that I wish that I had had a sibling

00:01:40.920 that was closer in age to me. I have two older brothers, 10 and 7, 10 and a half and seven years

00:01:49.840 older than me. And my parents got married young. They started having kids young and then they just

00:01:54.500 waited a little while to have their final child, moi. And so love my brothers. But I think it's a

00:02:01.880 different dynamic when you have a sibling that's close in age and that you can just experience life

00:02:09.760 with that can just kind of like help you through those formative years. I want that for my kids.

00:02:18.160 My husband also has two sisters that are eight and six years older than him. So he was kind of in the

00:02:24.540 same situation. I didn't have a sister. He didn't have a brother and we didn't have any siblings that

00:02:29.060 were very close in age. Now it's different because we're all adults. And so we're kind of all in a

00:02:34.960 similar life stage. But growing up, I mean, I was, I think, eight years old when my oldest brother

00:02:40.380 left for college. And so I wish I had had, I wish I had had a sister that was closer in age to me.

00:02:47.960 Although I, you know, I love having, I loved having brothers. I think that would have just been fun.

00:02:52.860 All right. Here's another question. This time it's for advice. Sister is getting married, ungodly couple.

00:02:58.480 I'm a bridesmaid help. So that's difficult. I think it's probably good that they are

00:03:04.240 getting married. The union of a man and a woman and holy matrimony is a good thing.

00:03:10.580 It would be much better if they were Christians and recognize that their marriage is a reflection

00:03:15.420 of Christ, the bridegroom, and the church, the bride, that there is eternal and holy,

00:03:22.320 heavenly significance to the union that they are entering into. But you as a Christian, you know that.

00:03:27.860 And so you can celebrate that and you can pray that they would come to the recognition of that.

00:03:32.760 Maybe, I don't know, the kind of relationship that you have with your sister. I don't know if she

00:03:37.980 would be open to a conversation before her wedding or a letter, maybe just saying, you know,

00:03:45.800 hey, I love you. I'm excited for you, if that is true. And here is just something that I want you

00:03:52.820 to know. I want you to know that, you know, God made you fearfully and wonderfully. I want you to

00:03:57.240 know that God knew that you were going to get married on this day. I want you to know that,

00:04:02.400 you know, that God sent his son to die for you. Share the gospel with her and just continue to pray

00:04:08.540 for her and to be the person that comes to her mind first when she thinks, wow, I think I've lost

00:04:13.860 my way. Or I think I want to know truth. I think I want to know joy. I think I want to know freedom.

00:04:19.240 May you be the first person that comes to her mind to talk to, and may you be open to that

00:04:25.520 conversation. Since it seems to be a union of a man or a woman, I don't think there's any moral

00:04:31.140 qualms in you going to the wedding, being a part of the wedding, supporting the wedding. But yes,

00:04:38.400 I would do everything that you can to encourage, to pray, to lead by example, and to share the gospel.

00:04:46.260 Well, someone asked, does anyone check the emails on your website? Yes, I do have an assistant that

00:04:52.960 checks the emails on my website, but we have a high volume of emails. So not everyone gets a

00:04:58.060 response. We try our best to respond to everything that we can, but not everything and everyone gets

00:05:04.640 a response. We just kind of have to filter things out. I also try to answer messages on Instagram.

00:05:10.780 I don't answer as many as I wish that I could. I just don't have the capacity to do that. But I am

00:05:20.820 a pretty responsive. I'm a pretty responsive person on those things. So if I did miss your email or your

00:05:26.520 message, I am sorry about that. Someone asks, opinions on paternity leave? Ha ha. That's a good

00:05:36.700 question. I think paternity leave is great. I think the company should offer paternity leave. Now,

00:05:42.300 me thinking that companies should offer paternity leave versus thinking that the government should

00:05:47.060 force companies to offer paternity leave. Those are two different things. I do think that companies

00:05:53.400 should. That widely varies. I am so thankful that when I had both of our kids that my husband had six

00:06:01.220 weeks of paternity leave, that is very generous. I understand not all companies can afford that and

00:06:07.140 can give that. And then I think maternity leave was like three months for the moms who had babies. I

00:06:14.000 mean, they had all kinds of things like that. And so he could actually take them in like two week

00:06:19.080 chunks. So I think he took like two weeks when the babies were born and then like they all have to be

00:06:24.660 taken though within the year after birth. And so that was great. Like we could use that for

00:06:30.360 vacations and things like that. And so that was awesome. And I don't know what I would have done

00:06:37.600 if he hadn't had paternity leave. I mean, I have, as most of you know, two C-sections and their recovery

00:06:43.540 can be absolutely brutal. And we have other family in the area that I'm very thankful for. My mom was

00:06:48.500 super helpful. But I mean, your husband is the one that is next to you in bed, who is helping you

00:06:54.140 get up when you can't, like helping bathe you when you can't after surgery and like going to like get

00:07:00.480 the baby when you can't lean over to like make sure that you can nurse the baby in the middle of the

00:07:06.040 night. And so I cannot imagine my husband not having any paternity leave. I think absolutely every

00:07:13.100 company that can offer paternity leave should. It's not just so that he can have time off,

00:07:19.500 although I think that's fine and bond with the baby, but it's also so he can help the mom,

00:07:23.340 whether she had a C-section or not. There's a lot of recovery there and she needs help. She just does.

00:07:28.580 So I am all for generous paternity leave. Someone asked, how will Jesus have time with everyone in

00:07:38.540 heaven? So I think your question is, how will Jesus like have time to talk to everyone? Because

00:07:43.940 everyone will be asking him questions. Well, we will all be in one way or another worshiping

00:07:48.800 Christ. And you have to remember that heaven exists outside of time and space. And so it is not

00:07:56.420 tracking along our finite understanding of linear time. You know, one day is a thousand years.

00:08:05.260 And so, you know, figuratively speaking. And so it's not going to be the same time lapse situation

00:08:14.460 in heaven as it is here. We're not going to be counting the seconds looking at our clock saying,

00:08:20.280 oh, it's been one year, it's been two years. I'm guessing. And so because we'll be in eternity

00:08:26.320 and because Jesus is infinite, we don't have to worry about like time running out or him not having

00:08:30.720 enough time. I don't know exactly what that interaction will look like, but I'm not worried

00:08:35.820 about time running out for the God of the universe. All right. Let's see some other questions.

00:08:47.260 Thoughts on being a Protestant married to a Catholic. So I think that that would be difficult. I think that

00:08:53.360 would be difficult. Not impossible, obviously, because there are Protestants who are married to

00:08:57.920 Catholics. It depends on how firm you are and the doctrines of your faith. I would say that probably

00:09:05.600 most Catholics and Protestants that marry one or the other is not very sure or probably not very firm

00:09:16.540 in the doctrines of their faith that are in opposition to like Protestants or Catholics' faith.

00:09:23.780 I mean, I would guess that that is usually the case because if you are very passionate that salvation

00:09:30.720 is by grace through faith alone and that that is the differentiator between Catholicism and

00:09:38.760 Protestantism and you are like very firmly against infant baptism, you are very firmly against the

00:09:45.780 papacy and the structure of the Catholic Church, which like a very reformed, passionate Protestant would

00:09:51.560 be. It would be hard for me to believe that you would, you know, marry a Catholic and vice versa for

00:09:58.220 Catholics. So I would say that when it happens, there is probably some compromise on someone's part

00:10:07.540 there. I think it would be difficult for those theological reasons. You got a lot of questions to

00:10:14.420 answer about how you're going to raise your kids, what kind of church you're going to go to,

00:10:18.600 those big theological differences that you are going to implement into your kids. Infant baptism versus

00:10:25.260 believers' baptism, all kinds of things. And so those are conversations that you need to have. I think it's

00:10:33.860 much better when you don't have to agree on everything, of course, with your spouse. There are going to be

00:10:40.260 things even theologically that you disagree on. I think, though, you should agree on some of the big

00:10:47.220 things. You should agree on what kind of church you're going to go to and what kind of theology

00:10:51.680 you're going to raise your kids in and what kind of school you want them to go to. Because marriage

00:10:56.280 is already filled with disagreements. You're different people. You're bringing different sins

00:11:00.340 in. You're bringing different perspectives and experiences in. All of those things have to work

00:11:05.300 them out, have to work themselves out through, you know, relationship building. I would rather not have

00:11:13.060 to work through the big fundamental theological spiritual things in addition to all the other

00:11:19.360 natural stuff that you have to work through as a married couple. Next question, how to survive

00:11:26.280 first trimester all-day sickness dying here? Well, I'm so sorry that you're not feeling well.

00:11:32.400 It's been there, girl. I have been there. Congratulations. I don't know if this is your first or fifth

00:11:37.060 baby, but congrats on carrying life inside the womb. So I will say, and I know that this part isn't

00:11:45.120 helpful. I'll get to the helpful part. I wasn't super, super sick with either of my pregnancies.

00:11:51.300 I wasn't like throwing up or like couldn't function. There were like periods of time where I didn't want

00:11:57.480 coffee, where I didn't want certain foods. The only thing that sounded good was a Chick-fil-A chicken

00:12:01.500 biscuit. And so I would just say like, eat what you can. Don't worry too much. Of course, you want

00:12:07.800 to eat healthy. I know you want good sustenance and good nutrition for you and the baby. I'm not

00:12:12.060 saying that's not important, but it's also important that you eat. Like it's also important that you have

00:12:16.660 calories. And if the only thing that sounds good is a piece of toast or a biscuit, if that's the only

00:12:22.820 thing that you can keep down right now or some crackers, make sure you do that. Don't not eat. Make sure

00:12:28.400 that you're staying hydrated. I have used a lot of pink stork products. They're not like a sponsor

00:12:34.020 or anything. I found that they work pretty well. I had like this morning sickness tea that I took by

00:12:39.920 them that I liked. I took their labor prep tea too. And so, and they're a Christian company. So that's

00:12:47.300 pretty cool. Their stuff is made in America. I'm just giving them some free advertising. So maybe,

00:12:52.640 maybe some tools can help. Some people recommended, and I did this, I think, I think that I did this

00:13:00.500 towards the end of my pregnancy because I dealt with nausea. Then please double check and do your

00:13:04.780 own research on this because I don't entirely remember. But there was a time that I was nauseous.

00:13:11.860 And so I diffused like peppermint oil and that can help with nausea. I did that during labor too.

00:13:20.080 Um, and so that's maybe something to consider, but please do your research on that and make sure

00:13:25.480 that you are doing it safely and that it's safe for you. Also remember it's temporary. It's temporary

00:13:30.460 unless you have like permanent nausea throughout your pregnancy, which some people do, but you will

00:13:36.160 probably start feeling better if not around week 12, around week 16. That's what it was for me from

00:13:42.480 week 16 to like week 32. That was my sweet spot. Before that didn't feel great. After that, I just

00:13:50.260 get huge and my hips hurt and I can't sleep. But 16 to 32 weeks, especially if you haven't been

00:13:56.220 pregnant before and you don't know about like the second trimester sweet spot, it's coming. So just

00:14:00.940 hang on. Um, all right, let's see. Someone asks infant baptism or says infant baptism wants me to talk

00:14:08.840 about that. I cover that on a recent episode. We'll link it in the description of this episode

00:14:16.260 because I can't remember the number. Um, let's see. What do I think about horror movies? Don't love

00:14:24.000 them. I don't, I mean, I don't think that they're the most edifying thing. I can take a little bit of

00:14:29.720 fear. I can take suspense. I, you know, I'll get in like the, the mood for those kinds of movies and

00:14:35.860 those kinds of shows. I'm okay with that, but terrifying horror movies with like exorcism and

00:14:41.500 satanic activity. There's a lot of actually like real scary things that go on in the world that

00:14:47.360 already make me sad and burdened. I don't really want to spend my like leisure entertainment time

00:14:52.860 also just like weighing down my brain with things that are going to make me more anxious than the

00:14:58.100 world already does. Um, my, I want my wife and I to move away. Someone says she wants to stay local.

00:15:06.300 What's your advice? My husband and I were also in this situation. Um, 2016, we lived in Athens, Georgia

00:15:15.520 and he wanted to move to a bigger city and I did not. I was happy doing what I was doing. I wasn't doing

00:15:23.880 this. I knew I wanted to do something like this one day and I was just kind of starting to like

00:15:28.340 write a blog and do videos, but I figured I can do all of that from home. I don't need,

00:15:32.840 I don't need to move anywhere. Well, he wanted to move to a different place. I did not want to. I was

00:15:39.500 like very sure I was set on it. I had like my plan of how the next two years would go. I told him,

00:15:46.400 okay, I think maybe we can reconsider this in a couple of years. And, um, he just continued to

00:15:54.420 pray about it and we continued to talk about it. And this was probably like the first big,

00:15:58.980 cause we got married in 2015. So this is probably like the first big thing,

00:16:02.620 major thing that I was like, okay, this is what it's going to look like to follow him as the leader

00:16:09.420 of our family. Um, and if he is saying that he thinks that it's best for us and best for his job

00:16:16.340 for us to move, then I need to trust him on that. So after a lot of prayer and a lot of talking,

00:16:20.840 it just kind of hit me at the beginning of 2017 that, okay, this is right. He's right. He ended up

00:16:27.900 getting the job and we moved and wow, that was like the best decision for our family that we could

00:16:35.360 have made. I mean, it was the exactly right thing for our family, our jobs, and, uh, for our future

00:16:42.520 children. We didn't have kids yet at the time. And so I guess my advice is to keep praying,

00:16:48.780 keep talking about it. You don't let this drive a wedge between you guys. Don't let this like,

00:16:54.900 don't allow this to, um, be used by Satan to start harboring resentment or bitterness against her.

00:17:03.080 And I hope that your wife doesn't allow that to faster against you because Satan can use this to

00:17:09.560 divide. Remember that Satan hates marriage. He hates the unity of a married man and a woman. He

00:17:15.100 hates the family because it is a representation of Christ in the church, his arch nemesis. Um,

00:17:20.340 and so he will use anything, any kind of disagreement to try to drive you apart and to damage your

00:17:26.440 relationship and to make you less loving and gentle towards one another. And so examine your own heart,

00:17:32.780 make sure that you are listening to the Lord, that you have been praying about this, that you have

00:17:37.520 thought about this practically, that you are making the right decision with the right motivations.

00:17:43.060 Talk to some other godly people in your life. Make sure that you're plugged into a church.

00:17:47.260 Listen to your wife's concerns. Her concerns may be totally legit and she may be making better points,

00:17:54.340 but if you feel convicted by the facts, uh, the facts at hand and by the power of the Holy Spirit that you

00:18:02.920 need to move, then you need to pray, pray, um, that the Lord would change your wife's heart. Even if she

00:18:10.720 doesn't want to move, that she would realize that in godly and loving submission to the good and loving

00:18:17.900 leadership of her husband, um, that she should support, um, this decision. That is how it is to go.

00:18:28.320 So a lot of prayer, a lot of conversation. Um, let's see. Next question. View on euthanasia,

00:18:39.560 10,000 plus Canadians chose to use in 2021. Will it be an option in the USA? Well, the death cult,

00:18:47.460 um, that exists in the USA, uh, would absolutely love this. They call it dying with dignity,

00:18:53.920 just like abortion. Dying with dignity is a euphemism. It's a euphemism for, uh, assisted

00:19:01.120 suicide, which I think is a form at least of manslaughter. Again, this goes back to, as we've

00:19:09.240 talked about before, like when consent is the bare, when consent is the only standard for morality,

00:19:17.280 and decency and virtue, rather than just like the bare minimum standard, then you get things like

00:19:24.040 assisted suicide. Just because someone consents to something, just because someone chooses something

00:19:30.660 doesn't mean that it should be legal. Doesn't mean that it's none of our business. Doesn't mean that

00:19:35.120 it's right. This not only will lead to sick people, to weak people, to people who are too much of a burden

00:19:43.160 on the system, especially socialized system in Canada, being convinced by doctors, by family members,

00:19:50.700 that they just need to die. This is not going to be one of those situations where totally autonomous

00:19:56.720 people, and even if it were, like it would still be wrong, but it's not going to be one of those

00:20:00.440 situations where totally autonomous people are taking matters into their own hands. No, what it's going

00:20:05.500 to turn into is people who are too weighty on the system and are not productive or valuable enough

00:20:12.840 to society being killed. And they will coerce and convince and manipulate them to sign the dotted line

00:20:20.920 and to agree to be euthanized. That's what's going to happen. And it just comes from our disregard for

00:20:30.280 human life, which is downstream from our disregard for God as the creator of the heavens and the earth,

00:20:37.540 as the creator of human beings, as the ascriber and the giver of value and worth. It is downstream

00:20:45.140 assisted suicide, abortion, the genital mutilation of kids is all downstream from secular humanism,

00:20:52.520 which views us all as arbitrary blobs of matter, as accidental clumps of cells.

00:20:59.500 The Christian worldview, which is the only rational and moral worldview, says that no,

00:21:06.820 no, no, the body is good. The body is and can be the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. No,

00:21:13.580 the body was made male or female in God's image. The body matters so much that Jesus took on flesh.

00:21:21.200 God took on flesh to dwell among us. The body matters so much that we are told in Scripture that

00:21:26.060 there will be a resurrection of the bodies. And so the Christian worldview cares about lives. We care

00:21:33.820 about the vulnerable people. We care about the sick. We care about the orphan. We care about the

00:21:40.120 victims. That is why almost every organization that helps the poor, that feeds the hungry, that heals the

00:21:50.240 sick. Hospitals, non-profit organizations, refugee organizations, all have a Christian name and

00:21:57.880 were founded by Christians. That is what Christians do. So Christians should oppose this. It creates and

00:22:04.080 further exacerbates the culture of death that has already been waged by abortion activists and those

00:22:13.580 who do not care about the body, who do not believe in a soul. Of course, the ghouls at the World Economic

00:22:19.300 Forum who think that our biggest problem is overpopulation, their Malthusian dread of running

00:22:25.780 out of resources because of too many people, leads them, which again is downstream from not believing in

00:22:32.420 God, leads them to push for absolutely atrocious and morally bankrupt policies like abortion and like

00:22:40.420 assisted suicide. We absolutely must oppose it. And it doesn't surprise me at all that Canada has

00:22:46.260 embraced it. Their morality is completely inverted, completely upside down. Let's see. Someone

00:22:55.180 asked me. So there's lots of questions and I'm just scrolling through it.

00:23:04.260 Um, do I really think, this probably doesn't come from a friendly, do you really think all good

00:23:11.760 Christians vote Republican? No, I don't. I think that some Christians vote third party. I think some

00:23:17.380 Christians don't vote at all. I think they're, I mean, yes, I think that there are genuine Christians

00:23:23.700 who vote Democrat. I think they're wrong. I think that Christians, true Christians who vote Democrat,

00:23:29.160 I mean, Christians make mistakes all the time. Christians have wrong beliefs. Christians do wrong things.

00:23:33.900 So for me to say that you cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat would be to say that you can't

00:23:39.560 make a mistake and you can't sin and still go to heaven. Now, do I think that you can simultaneously

00:23:46.020 hold, um, the, all the beliefs of the Democratic party, all the beliefs of progressivism and be

00:23:55.160 a true Christian? Not for very long. Like eventually you're going to get, have to get sanctified out of

00:24:02.720 those things. I'm not saying all of them are deal breakers, but if you are, um, pro LGBTQ,

00:24:11.580 if you are pro abortion, uh, then that something's got to give at some point, it would be really

00:24:21.920 difficult for you to follow the God of the universe, for you to be denying yourself, taking up your cross

00:24:27.580 and following Christ and therefore believing what his word says is authoritative and believe all of the

00:24:36.520 major and, um, main points of the progressive Democrat platform. That would just be really difficult. I'm not

00:24:46.420 saying, because thankfully I'm not the arbiter of this, that you can't go to heaven. I'm not saying that you have to

00:24:51.800 vote Republican. There are plenty of ungodly Republicans out there, but when I'm looking at what

00:24:58.120 the Bible says and looking at which kind of like earthly philosophy and earthly system best aligns

00:25:07.040 with human flourishing and human thriving, and also allows me to abide by God's word. I mean, of course,

00:25:14.620 that's why I have this podcast, because I do think conservatism best flows out of a biblical worldview. Of course

00:25:22.060 I do. Um, and so that does not mean that everyone votes the same way, but when it comes to the platforms, when it

00:25:31.320 comes to the points, when it comes to the values, yeah, it's going to be really hard for you to abide in God's word

00:25:39.000 and support the platform of the current Democratic Party. You either do not understand the current

00:25:47.260 platform of the Democratic Party. You don't understand the effects of their policies on

00:25:51.520 people's lives. You don't, you don't understand the value system and the morality that they represent.

00:25:57.740 You don't know the consequences of their policy, whether it's economic policy or social policy. You're just

00:26:03.480 totally ignorant of those things and you've believed, oh yeah, it's just compassionate, tolerant,

00:26:07.260 and, and right to vote Democrat. And Jesus calls us to be compassionate and tolerant and loving. So that must

00:26:13.740 be right. Or, you know, all of the points of the Democratic Party and progressivism, and you don't know your

00:26:21.000 Bible. It would be, you'd be hard pressed to really fully understand those things and then successfully reconcile

00:26:28.000 them. That said, once again, lots and lots of Republicans, a lot of people who are conservatives who think that

00:26:36.560 being a Christian just means saying that you believe in God and going to church sometimes. And so I'm not

00:26:42.980 at all saying that conservatism or Republicanism is salvific in any way. There's a lot of just not

00:26:50.800 Christians on the right, of course. But when I'm looking at the thoughts or like the philosophy, the

00:26:56.260 ideas, the points of conservatism versus progressivism and weigh them against the Bible,

00:27:01.440 it's no contest. It's no contest. Um, uh, let's see.

00:27:12.800 Have I watched? Oh, this is a good question. Have I watched Uncle Tom 2 yet? I've been meaning to talk

00:27:18.400 about this. Yes, I have. Everyone should go watch Uncle Tom 2. Um, I watched it. I watched it at the

00:27:24.580 premiere with my husband and it was really good, like very compelling, very well made. Our, our man, Votie

00:27:32.700 Bauckham is in it. Our, uh, peeps, Daryl Harrison, Virgil Walker are in it. I mean, I love those guys so much

00:27:42.180 and I'm very thankful that they were given a voice. So definitely go watch Uncle Tom 2. It's really

00:27:49.380 interesting. Like there were so many different pieces of it that could have just been like their

00:27:52.920 own documentary. You will definitely learn a lot. Do I think that there will be a red wave in November?

00:28:00.500 I think that it, I think that the, that Republicans will take over the House. I don't know about the

00:28:06.640 Senate. I don't think it's going to be a huge red wave. I do think that as other conservative

00:28:11.080 commentators are saying that Republicans are losing momentum. I do think that the abortion issue

00:28:17.080 actually is, is a bigger deal than Republicans thought it would be mostly because of lies from

00:28:24.120 the media saying, Oh, you know, this has caused women with miscarriages to not be able to get

00:28:28.780 abortions. So people are scared. Um, so I think that it will be like a red trickle. I do think that

00:28:36.780 definitely Republicans will win some seats. Do I think it's going to be a tidal wave? No, I don't think

00:28:41.320 so. Ever been to Scotland. It's home for me now, but I live in, or it's home for me, but I live in

00:28:46.700 Missouri now. I miss it, but not since 2020. I know it's gotten so crazy. Yes, I have been to

00:28:51.540 Scotland. Um, I studied abroad there when I was in college from, for, I don't know, five or so months.

00:28:57.520 We lived in Edinburgh and lived in an apartment on Queen street. I was actually just talking to my

00:29:02.140 husband about this last night, how looking back, it was pretty small apartment, but I don't know.

00:29:07.420 It was probably considered nice for European standards. Speaking of European standards,

00:29:12.800 they, we had like our, the washing machine situation was just a washing machine in the kitchen

00:29:19.640 and the dryer was just like spinning it really fast after it got done washing. Oh my goodness,

00:29:30.760 guys. Like we are very, very fortunate and privileged in the U S of a, I saw, um, Sagar and

00:29:38.900 Jenny, we've had him on before. And he was like doing this whole thread a few months ago about how

00:29:43.760 Europe is just terrible. And I don't totally agree with that. Although I would not want to live there

00:29:49.180 for several reasons. And, uh, he, I think he was talking about like washer and dryers or something

00:29:54.380 like that. And someone responded was like, whatever, like I can wash and dry my jeans in all in all in

00:30:03.940 one machine. And they are completely dry by the next day. L O L, you know, that our jeans are like

00:30:10.800 dry in like 30 minutes, bro. Come on. Um, but I do love Scotland, loved Scotland. I would, I want to go

00:30:18.740 back. I know it's crazy, but I really, I, you know, politically and all that over there, but I loved

00:30:25.120 it. I would love to go when it was warmer. It was really cold while I was there. And really like,

00:30:29.580 I just wasn't there long enough for it to even warm up. So it was really rainy, all that. But, um,

00:30:35.520 wow, it was beautiful. Edinburgh is beautiful. I did not have a great time in Glasgow. It's Glasgow,

00:30:40.980 right? Cause it was so rainy. Um, but yeah, that was fun. That was fun studying abroad. I got to go to

00:30:47.000 Paris. I got to go to London. I got to go to Rome and Naples, uh, Barcelona. I'm trying to think,

00:30:54.960 uh, the, uh, Amsterdam. That was super fun. That was maybe one of like my favorite places that I

00:30:59.800 went, even though it was also very cold and rainy, had huge pancakes, went to Anne Frank's house,

00:31:05.200 saw all kinds of like architecture and stuff. So that was super fun. Uh, okay. I think that's all I

00:31:11.300 have time for, uh, as far as questions go. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this. We will see you

00:31:16.620 back here soon.
