Hi Boomer, Staining Decks & Thrift Treasures | Quiet Company for a Peaceful Pause

2/1/2026

0 Comments

 
In Hi Boomer, Staining Decks & Thrift Treasures, Marco and Amanda settle into a gently winding conversation filled with everyday details and playful detours. Marco shares the calm (and surprisingly methodical) process of staining his deck — from careful prep work to those final, satisfying brushstrokes — while Amanda recounts her latest thrifting adventure and the unexpected gems she uncovered. What begins as simple storytelling soon drifts into a lighthearted trivia mishap that sparks a new inside joke: “Hi Boomer!” — proof that even perfectly imperfect moments can become comforting running gags.
As always, this calming podcast unfolds at an unhurried pace, offering a relaxing conversation designed to help you fall asleep, ease anxiety, or quiet racing thoughts after a busy day. The topics are pleasantly ordinary, making this ideal background listening while you wind down at night or settle back in after a middle-of-the-night wake-up. With cozy reflections — including the surprisingly luxurious lining of Marco’s leather jacket — and plenty of warm banter, this episode provides steady companionship and a soft place for your thoughts to land.
​Hi Boomer, Staining Decks & Thrift Treasures
(May 41, 2025)

 Welcome to the Insomnia Project. Sit back, relax and listen as we have a calm conversation that is designed in a way to help you find your way to sleep. Thank you for joining us. I'm your host, Marco Timpano.

Amanda: I'm Amanda. Marco. I just remembered that last week we did travel movies and there were so many more.

Marco: Oh, that's true.

Amanda: We were going to do more.

Marco: Well, anyway, I don't remember what we did or what we.

Amanda: I think we squeezed in a few of the last minutes.

Marco: Do you. Do you want to cover one that we didn't do?

Amanda: No. But then I started all week thinking of other ones, but now I don't remember half of them, so. Okay, I'll make a comprehensive list and we'll pick it up next week.

Marco: All right? Okay. So she says, I'll hold you to that, Amanda.

Amanda: Okay.

Marco: I just finished staining the deck.

Amanda: He sure did. Handyman.

Marco: It is a process. Or process, depending on how you say it.

Amanda: How do you say it?

Marco: I say it's a lot of work. Well, our. Our deck is wood, right? And so with the harsh weather that we get here, or harsh winters or snowy winters and hot summers and whatnot, over time the deck gets black. Like it gets mildewy. It gets. I Don't know what it is, Amanda, but it just gets. It doesn't look so nice after a while.

Amanda: I call it scum. Yeah.

Marco: Amanda doesn't like it.

Amanda: I call it just a nice slippery layer of dexcum.

Marco: Yeah. And there's.

Amanda: We have trees.

Marco: We have trees.

Amanda: A tree.

Marco: A particular tree, A big tree that sheds on.

Amanda: And friends. It sheds all year round. It's equal opportunity with the seasons. You think, oh, okay, we're. We're good now. Nope. It. Right now, it is shedding buds of all kinds.

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda: Little.

Marco: So we have a Norway maple in our backyard. It was one of the things that I really liked about this house. And now I realize a Norway maple is not an indigenous species of maple here in Canada. And so it has a very.

Amanda: In the 70s, they just went Norway maple crazy.

Marco: They grow tall and Norwegian wood. Yeah, they do. They grow tall and big, and they have beautiful leaves that turn beautiful colors in the fall.

Amanda: But at what cost?

Marco: At what cost?

Amanda: So right now, it's spitting. Just looks like little green flower bud clusters.

Marco: Yeah, yellow green. That yellow green color.

Amanda: Almost like Queen Anne's lace or something. But like tiny. Tiny. Yeah, but just tiny enough that they get everywhere. And within a day, like, you stained the deck, I noticed, and then it was covered.

Marco: I was sweeping those things off all the time. And Amanda's right, because then at a certain point in the year, all these maple keys fall from the tree, which

Amanda: are the seed pods. I forget when maple key season is. I'm sure listeners could remind us. But maple keys, all kinds. So then we're sweeping those. And then the leaves.

Marco: The leaves.

Amanda: Yeah, the leaves themselves.

Marco: And maple keys, when they fall, they kind of.

Amanda: Yeah, they're really cool.

Marco: Propel like a propeller.

Amanda: Nature's amazing. Knows what it's doing.

Marco: And so that tree has all. And then branches fall from that tree, and so.

Amanda: And if we're really lucky, then birds live in it, too.

Marco: Right. So there's a lot that that tree brings.

Amanda: We're just complaining about nature.

Marco: We love the tree, though. Yeah, we do. We do.

Amanda: We built the deck around the tree.

Marco: So as much as we complain about the tree, we also really enjoy the tree. But the tree and the elements made our deck not so nice. So I had to go and get. We have a little porch that's also a wood deck, and we have the back, which is our wood deck.

Amanda: And when we say little, I mean tiny compared to, like, probably your home.

Marco: Yeah. So because we live in the city and so. But still enough that I have to like it Wasn't.

Amanda: It's work.

Marco: It's work. You've worked.

Amanda: Honestly, you've worked so hard on it.

Marco: I got some mildew remover.

Amanda: Oh, really?

Marco: Yeah. And I put that in our power washer, and I power washed that then with a brush. Kind of looks like a sweeping brush or like a broom. I guess that's what you call a sweeping brush. A broom. Like a hard, bristled broom. I kind of really worked that cleaning agent into the wood. Then I power washed it, waited for it to dry completely. Then I stained it with a natural wood stain. Had to wait for it to dry. I did half the deck because the other half had all our deck furniture piled in the corner. I gave it two stains. One waited for it to completely dry, moved all the furniture over to the other side, and then did the process again.

Amanda: Wow.

Marco: And the front porch I actually sanded because I had the power washer on a. It had an attachment that was really, really strong, and it kind of worked too hard into the grain of the wood, so it made all these fibers come out. And I realized I used the wrong nozzle, if you will, to power wash the deck.

Amanda: Oh, no. Really?

Marco: Yeah. So as a result, like, the wood came up. The wood started to splinter a bit. It started to become fibrous.

Amanda: So I almost need that level of clean, though. Because it. Because of the scum and stuff?

Marco: No, because in the back, I didn't need to do that. I just had the wrong attachment. So I sanded the deck down so that it would be nice and smooth.

Amanda: In the front.

Marco: In the front. Sorry. The porch.

Amanda: That's why it looks so good, though.

Marco: And. And so there wasn't a mark or a mar on it. And I'm happy to do that for the porch because that's what everyone sees. And there's nothing that we really have on the front porch.

Amanda: Except for.

Marco: Yeah. Because the backyard, even if it's not perfect the way I did it, we have a lot of furniture. We have a lot of plants that we bring out.

Amanda: I'll deck it out.

Marco: However, in the front, we just have a concrete flower pot with some bo Yellow bonas this year in it. And so do you like where it

Amanda: is now or do you want to move it back to where it was?

Marco: I moved it.

Amanda: Oh, you did?

Marco: Yeah, I did move it. Yeah. So that's the tall tale of our deck.

Amanda: Do you want me to get more plants for the front there?

Marco: I don't think we need any more plants, to be honest with you.

Amanda: It's almost time for These plants to go outside. It would have been time. But it's been so cool.

Marco: It's been a cool, cool spring.

Amanda: Yeah.

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda: But maybe cool spring, warm summer. I don't know.

Marco: The interesting thing about cool springs are that the tulips last longer. Like all those bulby flowers last because it's cool and they like the coolness. Right.

Amanda: It's like a big refrigerator.

Marco: Yeah. So that's always fun. And we saw a tulip recently that I thought was a peonies. And you said, no, it's a fancy tulip. Right?

Amanda: Yeah, I think it's called like a double tulip. Tiered tulip or a double. There's roses like that too. But yeah, it's a double tulip or something.

Marco: That's pretty.

Amanda: Double stop.

Marco: I really like that.

Amanda: Have we explained double stop?

Marco: I think we have explained double stop in the past.

Amanda: Also talking about the world being a big refrigerator. All I can ever think of our sweet friends who also listen to the program and our guests of the program, Michelle Anima. Their wedding. Remember we got the flowers, but then they had a Persian wedding and a western wedding. So some of the flowers were for the western wedding. So their apartment, they had to blast the air conditioning to keep the flowers fresh.

Marco: Yeah. Because it was a few days between each wedding. Right. So the apartment was like a cooler.

Amanda: And they knew it too. And they're like, we're so sorry. But it was so, so funny because it was like we had to just blast everything to keep the flowers fresh. Oh, it makes me laugh because they went and got them at the. That beautiful huge flower market in, in Los Angeles.

Marco: That those flowers are beautiful. And that flower market was impressive. I love going to like, I love to go to a market that has a lot of one item things.

Amanda: Oh, really?

Marco: Yeah. Like, you know, I love, I love fish markets. Right. And when I was in Tokyo, I got to go to that big Tokyo fish market.

Amanda: Same as I. I went as well. Yes.

Marco: And it was before it moved. It has moved since we both went

Amanda: to it in its old location, I guess.

Marco: And I loved it.

Amanda: But not together.

Marco: No. And I loved it and I love going to fish markets. But even going to. I remember Nima and I went to a jewelry, a jewel market in la. So it was all jewelry. Every, every little. Do you call them kiosk stand.

Amanda: Sure.

Marco: Had different jewelers and some only dealt in certain gemstones.

Amanda: I love it.

Marco: Like there would be people who like, we're just diamond people. We don't deal with anything else. And then you'd have other people who were like, we're watch people. We only deal with watches or colored stones or pearls or you name it. And it was so fascinating just to walk and look.

Amanda: Mm, absolutely.

Marco: Yeah. So that's always fun. I enjoy that. Kind of like, you know, Christmas markets. When we go to Christmas markets. Those are fun. Yeah.

Amanda: I'm trying to think of a market that isn't fish that I've been to, that's memorable. Or isn't jewelry like a market that's really been focused on one item? I can't really think of any street fairs.

Marco: Yeah, sure. Food markets or art fairs. Art fair.

Amanda: An art market.

Marco: Yeah, sure. Perhaps we walked by a little art market in Florida not too long ago.

Amanda: Florida seems to have a lot of them, like, little festivals, and they close off a street downtown, and it always seems like someone's doing, like, chalk designs or something. And. Yeah, there's, like, little stalls and stuff. California does that a lot too. They have so much nice weather.

Marco: There was one that I recall, and the artist took graph paper and put it over sewers in different cities and kind of used charcoal.

Amanda: That was in Vero beach, right? Yeah. Very cool.

Marco: And it was framed, and you could get a sewer grate Framed.

Amanda: Yeah, like, he traced the sewer grates. Cool. But also, I mean, cool. Yeah, it was really expensive. I remember.

Marco: I remember that too. I was like, I could probably fly to that city and bring a chalk. Chalk. Chalk or not chalk, Charcoal, and some paper and do the same impression.

Amanda: Some orange pylon. So nobody bothered you while you did it and still be cheaper.

Marco: Yeah. So.

Amanda: But, I mean, he did a good job.

Marco: Yeah, it's true. It's true.

Amanda: And when you have, I guess, people there, when you have, you know, money, you're like, oh, let's. Let's get that sewer grade. Remember the time that we lived in Columbus or whatever.

Marco: Sometimes you're in a place and you're like, oh, let's. You're having a great time. You're like, let's get some art. Like, and you're like, you purchase some art, and then you bring it back home and then you put it on your wall, and you're like, I don't know if I like it. No longer in that tropical place.

Amanda: Yeah. People on vacation, they're like, look at this amazing art. You know, in the Caribbean, most of the art is from Haiti. Right, right. Like, most of the art from those types of stalls. And we only know that because we worked on cruise ships, so we'd see the same art in Every stall. And, you know, you'd finally figure out, like, it's all coming from Haiti, which is Caribbean. It's Caribbean art.

Marco: Sure.

Amanda: But they were the ones that were really producing it at the level that they would actually ship it out to Saint Martin and Aruba and all these other places.

Marco: And so you would see similar art in all these places in that style, and so it became associated with the Caribbean. Right.

Amanda: You might remember that I used to collect masks from every single country I went to.

Marco: Amanda had so many masks. I think we counted.

Amanda: I still have them, but they're in storage.

Marco: We counted, like, 85 masks.

Amanda: I mean, I would try to get one from every country I'd been to, and then I finally gave that up because it's a really intimidating wall when there's masks all over it.

Marco: Yeah. Staring at you. Yeah.

Amanda: Do we have them on our walls?

Marco: We did. We did have them.

Amanda: Some of them.

Marco: Right. We had a lot, actually, and then

Amanda: we took them down, and they've just lived in the box since then, I think.

Marco: Yeah. We have a new listener who happens to be a high school friend of mine who really enjoys the podcast and. Or enjoyed listening to the episodes that they listen to. And she said, you guys should talk about trivia, because I used to play Trivial Pursuit back in high school.

Amanda: One of my New Year's resolutions of last year that I didn't complete was to join a trivia team.

Marco: Oh.

Amanda: Did you know that?

Marco: No.

Amanda: Oh. I mean, I. We have a whole ceremony.

Marco: I didn't. I don't remember this.

Amanda: Marco and I and two dear friends, we have a whole process where we end our years and create new and

Marco: talk about things we want to do and whatnot. And yours was trivia.

Amanda: That was a big one. Yeah.

Marco: Wow.

Amanda: So much so that my theme of last year was convivial pursuits.

Marco: Oh, okay.

Amanda: Yeah. But then I didn't. I didn't join this trivia team of my dreams. I'd still like to.

Marco: Well, you can. I love trivia. I'll do.

Amanda: I'll join with you to go to, like, Trivia, like, one Thursday night a month or something or whatever. Go to my. Like, I just think it's like you go to your local bar and, you know the people. We don't do that.

Marco: No, we don't.

Amanda: But I feel like in English towns, they do this.

Marco: I think they do that. That all over the place. There's trivia nights all over the place.

Amanda: We need to. And Toronto is known as the city. City of neighborhoods. Right. So we need to tap into Our neighborhood and go to a local trivia night.

Marco: Okay. I won't stop you. I'm happy to go. We watch. We watch Jeopardy. We enjoy Jeopardy. Amanda and I. And Amanda got me a Trivial Pursuit game for my birthday or for Christmas. Now I don't remember.

Amanda: Oh, yeah, I did.

Marco: And I love trivia, but this is. This trivia is a little too modern for me. And one of the questions was, I couldn't think of it. I said, hi, Boomer. And the expression is okay, Boomer. And I couldn't remember.

Amanda: So now all we ever say is high Boomer.

Marco: Hi, Boomer.

Amanda: That's how the expression is known to us.

Marco: That's right. Hi, Boomer.

Amanda: Played that game.

Marco: I knew it was a two letter word. Just couldn't think of. Okay, in the moment.

Amanda: Yeah.

Marco: And then everybody's looking at you like, you should know this answer.

Amanda: And if you don't, then you're the high Boomer.

Marco: Yes, I guess. I guess in that moment I was.

Amanda: It's a no win. That's a no win.

Marco: Amanda, you went thrifting today.

Amanda: I did, I did. I had the day off, which isn't always. I'm not structured enough to deal with my days off. My mom was always so good at creating her own schedules and stuff. And I do try and sometimes I succeed, but sometimes I don't. Especially if I have like a whole bunch of days off. Then I really don't, which I don't have. So I'm in luck. But I kind of had, like, sort of a few major things to do today. Not even major, just things I gotta get done. But I didn't do any of them. I instead got in the car and went thrifting to my favorite thrifting place where you just dig through bins of clothes and you treasure hunt.

Marco: Can we talk about it?

Amanda: Yeah.

Marco: So it's called buy the pound because you buy.

Amanda: Now I. I in my heart feel that it should be called B U Y the pound.

Marco: B U Y.

Amanda: Like buy the pound and buy that you buy. Buy the pound.

Marco: Oh, B U, Y.

Amanda: But it's not.

Marco: It's B Y. I see you're spelling it out. I thought you were be. Be. I. I didn't realize you were spelling out the word buy.

Amanda: I just thought I. It should be called B U. I. Yeah. And I was like a pound.

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda: No, but like, it's by the pound. Oh, but it, but it would be clever if it was B U Y the pound.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda: Because then it would be by the pound. But you're buying. Right, yeah. It doesn't matter. It's not called that.

Marco: I've been to this place, my marketing scheme. I've been to this place and I don't think they care about the marketing because it's not.

Amanda: It's actually called Marketplace by the pound. There you go. For a market. A one item market.

Marco: There you go.

Amanda: This is a one item used clothing market, I suppose.

Marco: And if you're in Toronto and you're like, I want to go there. Because sometimes our listeners are like, I want to go there. It's on Orifice Road.

Amanda: 55 Orifice Road.

Marco: But it's not a well curated place. That's the point of it.

Amanda: The point of it is you treasure hunt. You get a bin. They blast 80s music. No night, no better. 90s music.

Marco: 90s music.

Amanda: They blast like dance music. Like, like today they were blasting oh, Sonique.

Marco: Oh, I love Sonique.

Amanda: Feels so good. Was it Soni?

Marco: Yeah, it feels so good. Yeah.

Amanda: Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Marco: It.

Amanda: They were blasting that like the best of. Of 2001.

Marco: I see. Okay. A high boomer.

Amanda: Okay. Yeah. And so, and so I was digging through stuff, pants and tops. Just wanted to find a couple new tops from work. But the way it works is you can't just buy one pound of clothes.

Marco: You have to buy five, minimum of five.

Amanda: So it's five bucks a pound, but you gotta buy five. So you're not walk. If you're buying stuff, you're not walking out of there with less than $25 minimum.

Marco: Spend 25.

Amanda: Yeah. Today I spent 31 because it's hard to get the met. You know, I was under my five pounds. So I threw in this blazer that I was like unsure about, but it had some heft to it and that took it over and she's like, well, you can go get something else. And I was like, I don't have the patience. I was ready to go.

Marco: So I got.

Amanda: Blazer is now mine.

Marco: I got a leather jacket from by the pound.

Amanda: You did? Yeah.

Marco: And so it was a really heavy,

Amanda: strong, like a substantial leather.

Marco: Like the leather felt quality, if that makes sense.

Amanda: And it's not a bomber, it's. It goes past your hips a little bit.

Marco: Yeah. I don't even know how to describe what it looks like, but I. As soon as I put it on.

Amanda: Leather pea coat almost.

Marco: Yeah, like a leather pea coat, but not ish. Anyways, I really liked it when I, when I put it on and I, and I showed it to you and I'm like, wow, this is great. And you. You had said, well, you'll probably spend 25 bucks or less for that because it's not. It's not going to be five pounds. I said, no, it's maybe. Maybe it's two pounds. Yeah. Two, three pounds.

Amanda: Right.

Marco: So I was like, oh, you're right. And that this leather jacket would probably cost around, let's say, 200 in the store or whatnot.

Amanda: Oh, yeah, for sure.

Marco: At least.

Amanda: And it was new. Like, no one had worn this jacket.

Marco: It was wonderful. I really liked it. And so I liked it. And I casually said to Amanda, I said, oh, you know what? I would love it if the liner inside the inside lining of the jacket was colorful because it's a black leather jacket, and a pop of color on the inside is always a pleasant little surprise. Right. And so unbeknownst to me, Amanda heard that and decided to get the liner changed for me as a surprise.

Amanda: That's right.

Marco: So I remember looking for that jacket several times.

Amanda: Oh, really?

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda: I didn't know that.

Marco: Where did I put the jacket? I looked in our spare room and in our office, and I was like. Because I had bought it in the summer. I had bought it when you don't buy a heavy leather jacket like that. And so in the fall, I was looking for it. I couldn't find it.

Amanda: Did you buy in the summer? Did you buy in the fall?

Marco: It was still warm outside.

Amanda: It was definitely still warm.

Marco: So I bought it in non leather jacket weather. So it was either late summer or early, early fall. Couldn't find it when I wanted it. Could not find it.

Amanda: I didn't realize you wanted it in the fall.

Marco: Yeah, it's a.

Amanda: You might have worn it a few times in the fall.

Marco: No, no, I never got a chance to wear it.

Amanda: You didn't? No.

Marco: And I kept looking for it. I couldn't find it. And I was like, where did I put it? And then I would forget to ask you. And so then I would just put on my other jackets and.

Amanda: Well, okay. But I didn't take it till December, so.

Marco: Oh, you took it in December. Okay.

Amanda: Yeah. So I don't. It didn't. It was in this house. So if you actually looked for it,

Marco: I probably looked in December.

Amanda: Yeah.

Marco: Yeah. Because our. Our December was mild.

Amanda: I think our fall was pretty mild.

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda: I don't know. But I didn't. Yeah. That's why I'm saying, like, I. I think you got it later than you think, because I didn't. It didn't leave this house until December.

Marco: So it left the house in December,

Amanda: unbeknownst to me, because I was trying to get it for his birthday from a very good friend who's a seamstress who said she could do it. And then she was like, I don't think I can do it in time. And then I was like, how about Christmas? Nope, can't do it in time, and I'm going to Winnipeg. But at this point, she has a jacket, right? So I was like, well, what can I say? We'll make it a Valentine's Day present, right? Then we went away for Valentine's, and I hadn't seen her anyway, so I was like, well, it's an anniversary present.

Marco: And so the day before. Anniversary. Was it the day before Amanda? I think it was the day before.

Amanda: I was like, two days.

Marco: Two days before. I was like, I need my leather jacket. I can't find my leather jacket. Do you know?

Amanda: And he said something. I said, oh, remind me, and I'll. And when we're home, remind. We were out somewhere. And I was like, oh, remind me and I'll find it for you. The thinking he wouldn't remember and that I could stall for another two days.

Marco: And then instead. Hi, Boomer. I said, where's my leather jacket? I really want my leather jacket. And you presented me with the jacket.

Amanda: And I said, okay, let me go. And I'm like, it's in the car. And he was like, why is it in the car? And he got upset because he thought I had used it as a costume piece or something.

Marco: I thought Amanda had taken my leather jacket and done on unsavory things with it. So.

Amanda: So for my work, I often need costume pieces from. For my work and I. For other people to wear. So he was upset that maybe I took it for other people to wear.

Marco: I didn't want my leather jacket, which I wouldn't have done, but defiled by other people.

Amanda: Exactly.

Marco: So it wasn't.

Amanda: I couldn't bring it in the house. I was never, as it turns out, coming from the car. Or maybe I was, and I forgot the few times, but I got it from her probably end of March or early April. Oh, yeah. And so then I was like, I just have to wait a month. But it was really cold. It was too cold for you to be wearing it, really. Which is crazy that it was that cold, but it was.

Marco: Sure.

Amanda: And so I left it in the car because anytime you and I were going to the house, I didn't want to be like, oh, let me get this big garment bag. That I've sort of wedged under a blanket and, you know, grocery bags and things.

Marco: And then one day I saw the. The garment bag, and I don't even remember what I said to you.

Amanda: You're like, what is that? What's the garment bag? And I was like, oh, that's Dale's. That's something at Dale's.

Marco: One of our friends, our dear friends.

Amanda: I don't know why I would have a garment bag of her stuff, but you seem to go, oh, okay.

Marco: Hi, Boomer. And I let that one sneak past. But anyways, Amanda brought me the jacket, and I love it. I love it.

Amanda: It's so cool. It's really funky.

Marco: It's very colorful. I'll take a photo of it, and

Amanda: I'll put it on her Instagram and tag our. My dear friend in yours, Vanessa, she's an amazing seamstress, and she makes jackets.

Marco: And you can tell because the lining of the jacket is perfection. Like, it's.

Amanda: It's incredible.

Marco: It's lined as if it was a designer jacket. Like, it's not just.

Amanda: She is a designer.

Marco: No, no.

Amanda: She's a proper designer, 100%.

Marco: And you can tell there's a difference between lining a jacket and lining it the way Vanessa did. And I really appreciate it. So.

Amanda: And. And not only that, she makes jackets, and at one point was like, I'm so sorry. I can get this to you in time. Might you want to. I can make him a jacket. She offered to make you a jacket? She makes bomber jackets. Okay. You've had bomber jackets in the past. I didn't think that was the style that you were after, so I said, no, let's just wait and do this one.

Marco: So, anyways, love the jacket. Thank you, Vanessa. Thank you, Amanda.

Amanda: Vanessa Wishart is her name. Yeah.

Marco: And she's phenomenal, and I'm getting a lot of compliments on it.

Amanda: Are you?

Marco: Yeah. And it's funny because it's the inside liner, so only when I'm taking it off do people see it.

Amanda: But it's like a little surprise.

Marco: It's a little surprise in every zip. So that's that. That's the little story behind that.

Amanda: Very cool. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's really fun, funky. She found the material, and, yeah, I'm grateful it all worked out. It was a long, long plan. I played the long game with that

Marco: one, and it worked marvelously.

Amanda: Yeah. She's costumed. She did the costuming for a show that I was in a theater show about 10 years ago, and then she did another one. And I actually worked on the Lilly Singh Live show, and she did the costuming for that. So I was a production person on that and worked with her on that. And then, yeah, like, she. She does Fashion Week. Like, she's. She's a really great designer.

Marco: Yeah. Out of this world. And speaking of out of this world, it's time for us to go. I hope you enjoyed this particular episode. If you're staying your deck, I wish you the best.

Amanda: If you're relining your jacket, I wish you the best.

Marco: And if you're a boomer, I say hi to you. Hope you enjoyed this episode and hope you were able to listen and sleep.
