Don't you always want to be the best you can be. The Frankie Boyer
Show it's more than a lifestyle show. It's a show about living in today's
world. I think something is happening. Frankie enthusiastically brings an amazing, eclectic
mix to the airwaves. One of the reasons she's earned legions of loyal fans
is very simple. When you listen to The Frankie Boyer Show, you just
never know what's going to happen. So listen for yourself. Here is Frankie
Boyer and welcome, Welcome, Welcome, it is Frankie Boyer. Well for
many of you, for many of you, you are all aware of this
fabulous podcast. It's called it's called Greeking Out and it is epic retellings of
classic Greek myths and it is from the creators of National Geographic Kids. The
wildly successful Greeking Out podcast has been I have to ask both Kenny and Jillian
they're with us today. Kenny, you've you've had more than thirty years in
children's programming as a performer, writer, producer, one of the creators of
National Geographic Kids Greeking Out podcast, which you're hosting co write alongside your daughter,
Jillian Hughes and she's with us today. And Jillian, you're a professional
writer with your heart in the kids and family industry. But did you guys
realize when you were doing this it would be so hugely successful. I don't
know, Jill, I don't know if you had any thoughts about whether or
not it would be successful. I was thrilled that it has gotten through the
stage where we have a book. I was happy that the podcast successful.
But you never really know, you know, you never you're never really sure
what's going to strike a chord with kids and families. Yeah, we had
no idea it was going to be this popular and take off the way that
it has. So it's been great to experience. Oh I bet i bet
okay. So tell us about the concept where it came from, Julian,
you go first, Okay, Well, it's kind of a roundabout story.
So the podcast, the Greeking Out podcast was actually inspired by another book called
Zeus the Mighty, which is also published by National Geographic Kids by Kristen Boyer.
And in that book, it was a book about animals a pet shop
and they were listening to a podcast called Greeking Out that talked about Greek mythology
and it sort of made these animals kind of believe that they were the great
gods. And in sort of like a marketing emotional idea, Becky Baines and
some other people at National Geographic Kids thought it would be funny to actually make
that podcast, the Greeking Out Podcast, as a way to promote that book,
because this is the mighty book. So we were brought on to make
this podcast, and the podcast kind of took on a life of its own
and became very popular and really resonated with a lot of people. And because
the podcast was so popular, they decided to turn into a book. So
this is the book that was inspired by the podcast that was inspired by the
book. Did I get that right? Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah,
you nailed it. That's basically the whole story in a nutshell. It
started as a as a book and then became a podcast and now a book.
So how how is it writing the book after you've already have done the
podcast, after you've already done the podcast? You know, it's interesting?
I'm sorry, go ahead, Joe, You're good. Yeah, it is
interesting, it is it? We really tried very hard to make sure that
the tone of the podcast was carried over into the of the book and for
listeners of the podcast to really feel like this was, you know, an
add on, a tie in that it felt universal to them. But then
at the same time, we wanted new readers who may not have listened to
the podcast, who had no idea about freaking out, to really relate to
and resonate with the book. So it was kind of a challenge to merge
those two creative things together and make sure that it appealed to new readers a
new audience, while also staying true to the to the tone and the comedy
that we're known for in the podcast. Right, Henny, what's it been
like for you work working on this project with your daughter? He loved it.
That is a correct answer. It is rewarding in a way that nothing
else could be rewarding. I tell you it is. You know, you're
you're equally proud and yet at the same time, your uh sort of worried,
like, you know, I don't what have I gotten my daughter into
here? You know what I mean? Is this? You know, kids
programming is you know, is a crazy business where at the you know,
you don't get a whole lot of props for doing kids shows and things like
that. And I've been in the kids industry for a long time, and
so I was thrilled when Jillian wanted to do it, and really she was
kind of the only person who could because what happened was, you know,
I you know, I do three or four different things. I work for
another podcasting company called tinker Cast. I'm their head writer. I still host
a show on the kid's channel on Serious XM. So I'm moving in a
lot of different directions that we needed scripting, somebody to script for me.
But you know, the first couple of episodes were written with such a distinct
narrative voice. You know, we're taking these classic Greek mythological tales and putting
them into contemporary prins and terms and and cleaning them up for kids and families.
And I remember Jillian saying, I'm really worried that I won't be able
to write this way, like right like dad. And then she sat down
and she was like, oh, actually, this is totally fine. I
can totally do this and failed it, and you know, so it was
It's really been a brilliant working process I've heard his boy with my whole life,
so I've got it down at this pot, I was gonna say absolutely,
absolutely okay, And the apple didn't fall far from the tree quite honestly,
Kenny, it really didn't. Yeah, you're not wrong about that death.
How do you find the stories? That's the question I wonder is that
how do you even know which which myths to tackle? That is a tough
one. I mean, that is that is really the tricky thing. We
have an amazing producer. Her name is Emily Everhart, which might be the
best name for a producer. Ever Yeah, really she is. She's a
now with Disney, she was with nat GEO for forever, and she's a
She's absolutely passionate about this subject matter. And you know, as a kid,
I grew up reading the Edith Hamilton books, and you know, I
was a B and D NERD, so I knew more than a bit about
this. But really, by the time we got this season too, I
had kind of exhausted everything I knew. We were lucky enough to be partnered
with National Geographic and they have a wealth of experts that they reach out to.
The lady named Diane Klein, doctor, doctor Diane Klein from American University,
and she's a classical studies professor and she with a with a focus in
Greek mythology and Greek culture. So she really shepherded us through the first Caught
three or four seasons and really get helped us identify a bunch of different myths
and more importantly, the different versions of each myth, because the same story
can be told in two or three different ways. We discovered this about the
Odyssey and the Iliot, the story of the Trojan War, about how there
are three there are several different verds that whether you're just spending depending upon whether
you're going with Homer or whether you're going with Hessy, and just those two
guys right there have different interpretations of in a different story. So there's a
lot of different versions of myths. But we also are getting into international myths
that aren't Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Mesopota Amien. We have some some
Filipino myth that we're getting into in this current season of Breaking Out, and
it's really it's amazing and it's very well received by our audience. We love
that we're not just sticking in ancient Greece. Yeah, yeah, tell us
give us an example of how one of the myths would be talked about it
if you could. I'm sorry, meaning like how we would change a myth,
or how do you change the myth? Yeah? Do do? Achilles?
Heel? Okay? So so the Achilles is a perfect one. That
that's a perfect example the I mean Achilles wedding, right, Achilles parents and
Jill, I'm gonna need you to to I'm gonna punt this to you because
I remember you wrote this one and if I get it wrong, they're gonna
have to correct me. But achilles mom mother was a senymph, an immortal
goddess, and Ahilli achilles father was Peleus, a king, And it was
their wedding that actually started the whole discord of the of the Trojan War because
at their wedding there was the only goddess that wasn't invited was a lady named
Eris, who is the goddess of discord, because who wants to invite her
to a wedding? Really, let's be honest, you don't want you don't
want to. There's enough weirdness in a wedding. But so she's mad.
She shows up anyway and she takes this golden apple and writes to the fairest
on the apple and throws it in the middle of the party, and of
course Aphrodite and Athena and Hera all think it's for them and they argue over
it. So they go to Zeus and Zeus says, oh, no,
I'm not gonna pick, So he picks this random shepherd to choose, and
that random shepherd actually turns out to be Paris, the Prince of Troy,
and he chooses Aphrodite, and Aphrodite says to him, I'm giving you as
a reward, I give you your choice of the most beautiful woman in the
world. Well, later on in life, he meets Helen, Helen of
Sparta, chooses her Aphrodite, makes her fall in love with her. He
takes her home to Troy, and that's what starts the Trojan War. Those
the wedding, Those the husband and wife in that wedding were achilles parents,
right, Joe, Yeah, that right, yes, okay, so that
their first child was Achilles, and achilles mom was pretty paranoid about him being
immortal, right Jill, Yeah, that was me handing it off to you,
Okay, Yeah, honest, My head over here, like you're doing
great, doing great. Yeah, so she was worried about that. She
actually took him to the River six, the famous you know river and the
underworld. Hold on hold that thought, guys, I didn't realize. We're
getting engrossed in the conversation. We have to take a quick break. Tell
everybody how they can find out more about you, the new book and all
of that, and we'll come right back with Jill and Kenny. Go ahead
breaking out classic retellings of epic Greek myths. It's a book. It's available
now, Amazon, your favorite bookseller, where you go get it twenty great
myths. You and your family will love it. We'll be right back.
Frankie Boyer, stay tuned and welcome back. And so Jillian is back,
Jillian Hughes and her dad. They are, of course the creators of Greeking
Out and the new book. By the way, Kenny Curtis, how can
people find the new book, Well, you can get it anywhere you want.
Amazon of course has it for sale, but I always love if you
can go into a brick and mortar book store. Do that. It's National
Geographic Kids distributed, so it should be in most places. And it is
called Greeking Out Epic Retellings of Classic Greek Myths, and it's based on the
podcast of the same name. So it's a beautiful hardcover book with amazing illustrations
by Heavy Ears. Oh I bet you guys always do great Yeah, you
guys always do great job. So, as I'm listening to both of you
retelling and listening to these stories, can you all understand why we need these
Greek myths in our lives because they're they're just so fascinating. The names alone,
and the and the telling of the stories. Totally agree. I think
it's they're more relevant now in some ways than they were. Well, I
won't say they're more, they're as relevant now as they were when they were
told. I mean, these are this these are the stories you know,
upon which all other stories have been based. But it's also human beings trying
to make sense of the world around them. It's what we always tell the
kids that these myths were how early cultures explained the world and justified the world.
The coolest thing I think about Greek myths is that the gods themselves were
not perfect. They were not this benevolent all powerful ally they were mean,
they were mean, they were jealous, they were petty, they're respiteful,
and sometimes they did things the human beings just because they could, and that
I think sort of help make sense for why life and the world sometimes can
be so unfair, especially if you're living in ancient Greece, especially if Yeah,
we've tried to make that kids think really critically about these myths too,
and the book after each myth there's a little like takeaway section that sort of
talks about the moral or the reason we wrote this story, And a theme
that kept coming up was, you know, not rebelling against authority, like
kind of sticking with the status quo. A lot of these myths encouraged people
to to just be happy with where they were, and when they did try
to rise up, they would be punished by the gods. So we're trying
to get kids to kind of think about, well, why is that,
Like why didn't they want them to challenge them or to question and just sort
of encouraging kids to really think about this critically and to understand the reason some
of these myths were told. We're kind of to keep things, keep the
status quo, keep people from rocking the boat. So there's kind of like
a deeper meeting under a lot of them too. So how do you deal
with the pronunciations? How do you how do you teach kids how to pronounce
these words? Kenny? Oh, so that is that is always a trick.
In fact, the beautiful thing about a podcast is that we can say
them and say them wrong. I have a sidekick that Julian scripts the Oracle
of Wi Fi, who is a bit like It was sort of inspired by
the idea that in all the geo kids books, there's all these facts in
the margins. Uh. But in the Zeus the Mighty book series, the
Oracle of Wi Fi is what they called the thing that they listened to podcast
on. So it became a character in the book. And I if I
say a name, if I say a Greek name wrong, it will correct
me. She will correct me repeatedly, and thankfully our experts that we have
through National Geographic really help keep us grounded. There are many different ways to
say some of the ancient Greek names, depending upon whether you want to use
the hard the k version of the hard to see or not. Searcy the
Wizard the Sorceress could renounced Kirky. You could say it kirky, but it
has become so colloquialized as Sarcy that most people say Sarcy, and that has
become acceptable. The one thing that isn't is Hercules over Heracles. You've got
to call him Heracles because his name Heracles means because of Hera, which is
the whole reason he has all of the trouble in his life and all his
trials and his twelve labors. So we actually have kind of a recurring bit
on the podcast in which I am frequently saying Hercules instead of Heracles and getting
corrected. I love it. I love it. And Julian, you were
finishing our story of Achilles Heels. Yeah, yeah, So Kenny was talking
about the wedding of achilles parents and sort of that's the very popular story of
how the Trojan War got started because of this apple in this fight over who
was, you know, the most beautiful goddess. But what we kind of
do is also tell the story of his parents, the backstory and his mother
sadus to kill. His mother was very word about Achilles because he wasn't immortal
because he had immortal father. So when he was a baby, she took
him to the river stick, which was the most famous river in the underworld
that you can kind of see seed depicted in the media as having like the
dead ghosts and the soles all floating out of it. But well known fact,
if you swim in the river stix or immerse your body, you will
become immortal. So Fetus grabbed Achilles and took him down there and held him
by his heel and dipped him in the river to make him become immortal.
And she was almost finished summer him in, but then she was caught by
her husband Pelias, who was like, what are you doing with our baby?
Why are you dipping him in just creepy river here? And she was
trying to explain that she was making memortal, but he wasn't buying it,
so he suck Achilles away. And that is why Achilles is basically invincible and
only has one weak spot, which of course is his heel. This is
he and JADUs was kind of paranoid her whole life that that heel would be
the reason, that that would be the reason for his downfall. And you
know, she was right. A mother always knows best, A mother always
knows best. How how true is that? What I also love about the
book is eat like the Greeks tell us about that, because that's so much
great interstitial parts of this book. Jillians put a lot of them together.
But the folks from National Geographic this is there. This is what they do.
This is there. Yeah, I say bread and butter if we're going
to keep the eat like the Greeks being going. But this is really what
they do. They provide you with con temporary information that puts the information in
the book in context for kids and families, and that's what Not to Your
Kids has been doing for decades. So this is really where we were excited
about the partnership, because you know, we didn't do a whole lot a
deep dive into olives or any of that kind of stuff, but they have
people on staff that research this stuff and that know this stuff. But what
we really liked was the other some of the other interstitials as well, about
the different kinds of monsters and the different adventurers and things like that, because
there's so much information and so many side stories and great dare I say,
cameo appearances of characters in these myths that you can't get to all of them,
so to be able to put them in that kind of an interstitial format
is really fun and it's really a joy for the illustrator as well. Oh
I bet, I bet, this has been so fun. Honestly, I
have to say I'm impressed with both of you and this is such a great
what a rich, wonderful book and podcast to a company and give out the
website and how people can find out more. Well, thank you so much,
Frankie. You guys have been great. The book is called Greeking Out
Epic Retellings of Classic Greek Myths, and you can get it wherever you get
your favorite books. The podcast is called National Geographic Kids Greeking Out, and
wherever you get your favorite flavor of podcast, that's where you can go to
stream that. It's a great fun thing to stream with kids and families.
And we are hard at work on a new season of that, so we
are. We can't waiting to congratulations guys, so fun talking with you.
We have to take a quick break and we'll be back in just a moment.
This is Frankie Boyer's Stay tuned and welcome back. It is Frankie Boyer
and joining us now as Benjamin Huen, who obtained his undergraduate and graduate degrees
from the University of Cambridge in England. He became the first editor of Nature
New Biology in nineteen seventy one, then worked at the National Cancer Institute from
nineteen seventy two to nineteen seventy three. He founded Cell Journal in Cambridge right
here in Massachusetts, and in nineteen nineteen seventy four renamed editor of Cell until
he remained the editor of Cell until nineteen ninety nine. Cell became the top
ranked journal in the life science and Doctor Lewin is also the author of the
best selling Jeans textbook and a series of books on wine. And he divides
his time between New York and London. And we are thrilled to have you
with us today and your new book is out Inside Science, Revolution in Biology
and its impact. My goodness, you've had such a stellar and incredible career.
Where so thrilled you're with us today and honored doctor, thank you so
for centuries now you say that the human has been driven by intellect, But
but will science look like this with AI now on the burner, it may
change. AI has got a lot of potential because it can synthesize very large
amounts of data much more effectively than human intuition or analysis. But it's worrying
because it undercuts one of the basic principles in science. That's that you publish
your results in such a way that other scientists can understand how you did the
work and they can repeat them if they want to. But when you use
an AI program, even the people who created the program may not really completely
understand how it works. You know, it's artificial intelligence. It is doing
its own thing. So if we don't understand how it works, how can
we validate the results. That is a real concern as to whether it would
change the nature of science. Already, there have been some cases in which
AI has been used to analyze data and the results have been accepted because basically
it's an AI algorithm and it's as human to be correct. But if a
realized person had gone through the same steps and explained what they had done and
got to the same conclusion, it might have been questioned more. So.
I think this tendency to accept things more easily because it's AI and it's a
sort of black box, that's a bit worrying. It is, and we've
been talking a lot lately about AI on the show and I have to ask
a questions. We have made so many advances in the world of cancer,
so many extraordinary advances. Why don't you think AI has the ability to finally
take it to the next level. Do you think it will help? But
it won't be a solution by itself. For one thing, the notion of
curing cancer is a little bit simplified because there isn't one cancer. There are
many different cancers there. So you can get some information from AI for its
example, now that we have human genome sequences available on a large scale,
we can look at those sequences and say, well, is there some common
factor or factors that relate people who have a particular cancer. That's very useful,
perhaps potentially as a diagnostic, but isn't going to go the next step
of saying what we should try to do to cure it? Is so and
so for that we still need human intuition. So far, AI has proved
quite interesting in analyzing results, but it hasn't, as far as I know,
actually suggested an experiment yet which would go and find a new important result
and to cure cancer, or to cure individual cancers. We basically need breakthroughs
on a one by one basis. I don't know that AI is going to
be able to do that for us. It may help, may help point
us in the right direction to look, but I think we're still going to
need people, individual scientists to do that, at least given the present state
of AI. I'm grateful that that we still need scientists and doctors to do
that. What about taking the information so that when we look at different parts
of the country and we see the cancer raids are spite, could AI be
used to find out the common denominators, what's going on and why? Could
could that help environmental where it would be very effective? But there's an interesting
precedent here. A few years back, Google introduced a featurical Google Flu Trends,
which analyzed the occurrence of flu in different parts of the country. Very
comfortable to what you were just saying about cancer, and it did it not
by looking for symptoms of people who have flu, but for looking at searches
on Google. You know, when certain terms were used that was associated with
flu being being dominant in the area. So for a couple of years this
worked very well. It was very good at predicting whether the next flu epidemic
was going to occur, and then for the next two or three years it
didn't do very well. And the traditional means that the CDC and people like
that use did much better. So the answer is it's really hard to be
sure. It looked very promising, it looked like a completely new way of
analyzing an epidemic and in this particular case, an infectious disease, but in
the end it didn't work very well. And I don't think we know whether
it didn't work very well because there was some basic missdesign in the system or
just because the algorithm needed more tweaking. So in the same way, if
we try to use it to analyze cancer, it might work, it might
not work, but it's really difficult to know why. I think you have
to be cautious about this because if you get the wrong results, it could
be quite damaging. I absolutely agree with you and with all of your years
of experience, and I know that Susan Love, the late Susan Love,
and it saddens me that she died ironically from a rear form of cancer.
But the breast research that she did in her life, she was so frustrated
because there was no cure for breast cancer and that The Pink Ribbon campaign kept
going on and on, and she often asked the question, where's the money
going. The research that is needed takes so much money and so much time,
and I just was hoping that, because you're so brilliant and you cut
through you and you're so eloquent about ourselves, is there any way that you
think in the next ten years we might be able to shortcut some some of
the tedious work that needs to be done for cancer, especially breast cancer.
It's very hard to predict. One of the characteristics of science is that you
can't predict what's coming next. And this is why something like I don't know
if remember President Nixon's War on cancer many many years ago. Yes, but
this type of approach tends not to be very effective because finding a cure for
breast cancer or for any other cancer probably depends on some discovery that we haven't
made yet, and we don't know where that discovery is going to come from.
It may not come from people working on cancer research at all. It
may come from some other area quite distant from cancer. Could be something you
do with cell biology, it could be somebody's doing lecular biology, could even
be a discovery in bacteria. So my point about sciences you just have to
support science as a whole because you never know what consequences are going to come
from some observation, and you cannot predict what observation you need to make to
get to some particular target, like curing a cancer or some other infectious disease.
You just have to I mean, obviously you can put money into areas
that look promising, but no guarantee that that is actually where the breaks is
going to come from. May come from somewhere else quite different. Insight Inside
Science is your new book, Revolution in Biology and its Impact, And Doctor
Benjamin Lewin, when an honor and a pleasure to talk with you today.
This has been so great And how long did it take you? I just
have to ask how long it took to write this book? About a year
because it has been in my head for quite a long time before that,
and so once I started writing, it came together really quite quickly. Oh
I'm well. We're so thrilled and thrilled that you were able to come on
and talk with us today. Thank you so much, and give us the
best website on how people can find out more about you and the work that
you're doing, doctor Benjamin Lewin. Well, the book, of course is
available on Amazon and in bookshops. I have a website which deals with my
writings on wine, which is called wine specific dot com, and I haven't
yet set up one for science. All right, is this going to be
a good year for wine? Well, it's been rather hot, so you
know we'll be too powerful. We'll see, yea. It's like science,
you never know till it's over. We'll have to have you on just to
talk about the wine. Thank you so much, doctor, and we'll take
a quick break and be right back. This is Frankie boy your stay tuned.
Thank you, and welcome back. It is Frankie Boyer and joining us
once again Matt Blashaw, HGTV Star real Estate and building expert. Matt,
welcome, welcome back. It's always hey, frank you thanks for having me.
Always a pleasure. Oh no, it's our pleasure. You know.
It seems that losing power during, during, or after a severe weather event
has become the norm now, and those power outages are lasting longer than you
know one can ever imagine. So this is national prepared preparedness in a month,
and this is a good time for homeowners to consider a more diverse energy
mix. So what do you have in mind? Yes, you know,
I had a heaping dose of reality when I moved from California, which had
rolling blackouts, and you know, we had it wasn't you know, it
wasn't That was the last for a couple hours. And then I came to
Kansas City where I lived now, and we had an EF zero tornado,
which is still scary, and all of I mean, the trees were down,
power was out, and for three days we did not have power.
And I'm a guy that has built homes for years and I can fix anything.
I'm like mister Candy around the house. I could, I couldn't put
the power back on. I didn't know what to do. I was almost
oh, I mean I was, I was. I was in a panic
mode. And it just made me realized, we need an emergency plan.
We need something that I don't have to worry about because there's so many of
the things to worry about. Oh my god, yes, absolutely absolutely,
So tell me what can we do? Seriously, what are the options?
So, I mean, I recommend a propane powered backup generator, you know,
the reliable, versatile, and and and where do you start with that?
Okay, you can go to propane dot com forward slash you know for
my home that that is going to be a great resource for you. Call
your license electrician. He's going to be able to to you know, find
the right size for you. He'll even recommend a good generator. And it's
not life is normal, Frankie with a generator, right, you don't.
Everything doesn't turn back on that generator is size just for the elements that you
need. And these are things like the refrigerator, the freezer. This is
like your alarm system, security for medical devices for some people, you know.
So it's if you know, these are things that you know, we
don't think about until we lose them and then absolutely and I think for some
insulin needs to be refrigerated, you know, little things like that that we
don't always think about. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's and for
how long? Right? And that's the the uncertainty is what I want to
kind of take out of the equation. The propane service provider that's going to
power you know, give you the propane for the unit. They'll be able
to size the appropriate tank for you. And you know, I gotta tell
you when we were, you know, out of power. My street was
littered with trees. I could not get my truck out of there, so
I couldn't go down and get gas. I couldn't, you know, there's
no way. And I tried to give you a generator. They were triple
the price. I couldn't find one. So that propane is right there when
you need it, right and that it's not just a little tiny, little,
you know, canister that we think about with barbecues. These are huge
tanks that you can have that are very very safe, stored on property.
And even these transfer switches that they have with the generator now are fantastic,
meaning that when the power goes out, the transfer switch realizes that it's out,
it switches right over, turns on your generator and starts powering it.
You don't have to go out into the elements. Such a great thing for
the home. Oh my gosh, is it ever? And I have to
tell you we had a really bad I live in in Boston right and downtown
Boston on the harbor, and we had the remnants of the hurricane that came
up the coast and the winds, Oh my goodness, the winds were just
crazy, really crazy, and the debris everywhere from falling and objects just blowing
all over the city. And you know, I'm fortunate I'm in an apartment
building, but for many that have a home, they were not so fortunate.
And those winds really did severe damage and cause the trees to fall down.
You know, it's just like this ripple effect, Matt. Yeah.
And and and to kind of piggyback on that, you know, my wife
she thinks I'm nuts because you know, we have so many trees around,
you know, our neighborhood, and no one trims them, no one limbs
them, because I know that they love the shape, right, it's fantastic.
But if you have a big limb that's sitting over your power line,
sitting over your house, sitting over your car, those trees, the leaves
on those branches, that's that's a giant sail, right. So the more
resistance that it has, the more that that branch is gonna you know,
it just can't take it. It's going to snap off. So you know,
consider one of those items to do is to go around and limb your
trees, you know, cut your trees, and you know, to cut
it down just just you know, just make sure that they're nice. Yeah
yeah, just trim and take much because we have that same thing. We
had eighty mile on our winds just like three weeks ago, and trees were
full. I mean it was just incredible because no one lives their trees.
So you know, not that much. You can do it yourself. Make
sure you take care of that before the winter buns. Oh absolutely, you
