Oats Today, Cherries Tomorrow | Easy Company for a Quiet Afternoon

2/1/2026

0 Comments

 
In Oats Today, Cherries Tomorrow, Amanda and Marco ease into a softly drifting conversation about seasonal fruit, beginning with strawberries and gently imagining tomorrow’s cherries. What starts as a simple reflection on fresh produce slowly meanders into memories of a memorable waitress named Oats and the surprisingly meditative rhythm of sanding floors. The topics are pleasantly ordinary, connected more by mood than momentum, creating a steady, unhurried flow.
As with every episode of this calming podcast, the tone is quiet and companionable — a relaxing conversation designed to help you fall asleep, ease anxiety, or soften racing thoughts at the end of the day. There are no sharp turns or dramatic moments, just light observations and cozy storytelling that work beautifully as background listening. Whether you’re winding down at bedtime, resting during a middle-of-the-night wake-up, or simply seeking a peaceful pause, let this gentle exchange keep you company as you drift toward rest.
​Welcome to the Insomnia Project. Sit back, relax and listen as we have a calm conversation meant to help you drift off to sleep maybe, or just to chillness and calm. I'm your host, Marco Timpano.

Amanda:  I'm Amanda.

Marco: Hi Amanda. How you doing tonight?

Amanda:  Tired. Oh, sono stanka.

Marco: Oh, there you go. Well, we did get some messages from listeners.

Amanda:  Oh wow.

Marco: We have A listener who really enjoyed the Rome episode and happened to be Rome in Rome around the same time as us. Yeah.

Amanda:  And did they go through the holy doors?

Marco: They didn't.

Amanda:  Did they eat the holy pastas?

Marco: They didn't go that far into the message, but maybe we'll hear from them.

Amanda:  Okay.

Marco: Also, listeners are asking how they can get advertising free episodes because ACAST took that away and now the ads are too loud and I'm working with them. I'm gonna work on that all day tomorrow. I'm gonna try to figure out a way for our listeners.

Amanda:  So we're on it. We're trying. Yeah, give us a week or two.

Marco: Yeah, give us a week or two more. I have been looking into this, so.

Amanda:  Yeah, I know.

Marco: Forgive me, but we'll get that sorted out. Thank you for bearing with those loud advertisements. I trust me. I have someone in California who listens. Nima is his name. He's going to be a guest again on the show. He's a friend show who always tells me when they're loud. And I, and I do my best.

Amanda:  So we appreciate the heads up too because you know, we want the podcast that you need.

Marco: Yeah. And those ads are different in different locations as part of the situation. So they might be calm in some places.

Amanda:  Right. They target them. Yeah, I know. I was just listening to an ACAST podcast myself.

Marco: Oh, that's great. Is it a recommendation you would mention?

Amanda:  Sure I would. Actually, it's called, it's interesting. It's called we regret to inform you.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda:  So it's the same production team that does under the Influence, which is a really interesting long running series on CBC Radio and podcast as well about marketing decisions. That's not a great pitch, but it's

Marco: actually quite fascinating because they'll tell you about like when Coke switched their formula and why they did it and what the repercussions were. And they do it in a fun sort of way too.

Amanda:  So it's Terry O'Reilly that does this. I think it's his daughter. That's what I'm gleaning. I'm pretty sure that produces and is the main voice on this one called we regret to inform you. And it's great because it tells you stories of people who got rejected.

Marco: Oh.

Amanda:  And then how the rejection became their biggest blessing.

Marco: Oh, I need to listen to this.

Amanda:  Yeah, I just listened to the Lisa Kudrow episode, which is a great one. And I'm listening to one about the script of Pretty Woman.

Marco: How did you find this out, this podcast? How did this Podcast come to you cbc. Okay.

Amanda:  Yeah, they. I think they're starting to air them. They just started. And so I heard it and then went, oh, I'm gonna go check that out. And I also love the cost of living. I'm a CBC person. Listen. I moved to Canada. I immersed myself as a child in Canadian things. And CBC is very Canadian. So I'm a longtime fan and part time employee sometimes of cbc. When they'll hire me.

Marco: When they hire you, they should hire you more often.

Amanda:  Well, I've just found out that a series that I was in, the first series, the first season called Small achievable Goals, that that is getting a second season.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda:  Who knows if I'll be in it?

Marco: But if you haven't checked that out, definitely check it out. It's a great series. And you'll see Amanda in it as

Amanda:  well,

Marco: and great writers on that series

Amanda:  who we might see this weekend.

Marco: Oh, that's right. That's right. So hopefully we will. We got cherries. We were supposed to eat cherries tonight. I forgot.

Amanda:  I know. And we had ice cream instead. Well, those are the good problems, I think, right?

Marco: Oh, my goodness.

Amanda:  We'll have cherries tomorrow. Yeah, Cherries Tomorrow sounds like a title of a book or something.

Marco: Or a great rock album or a podcast. Imagine Cherries Tomorrow.

Amanda:  Or should we start a podcast, Cherries Tomorrow? I don't know.

Marco: Things you can do tomorrow that you didn't do today.

Amanda:  Well, maybe. Maybe that's this episode.

Marco: Oh, my goodness.

Amanda:  Stuff we'll do tomorrow that we didn't get done today.

Marco: Now, I love cherries and you love cherries.

Amanda:  I love cherries.

Marco: I love strawberries. Amanda, not so much.

Amanda:  Not a strawberry fan. Are there anybody. Are there any of us out there listening that cannot stand strawberries? Please let me know. I've only ever found one in my life. Now, mind you, it's not something that comes up a lot in casual conversation. Hi, my name's Teresa, and I hate strawberries. But here's my journey with strawberries.

Marco: All right. On this episode of Cherries Tomorrow, I

Amanda:  forget what I was talking about.

Marco: You're gonna talk about your journey with strawberries.

Amanda:  Oh, strawberries. Strawberries yesterday, cherries tomorrow. So here's my thing with strawberries. As a kid, you know, you are socialized to love strawberries. Why wouldn't you love strawberries? Everybody loved. There was strawberry shortcake. She was a doll. She smelled great. I had apple dumpling. Who was her, like, sidekick, but I think my sister.

Marco: I thought there was blueberry muffin.

Amanda:  There's also blueberry muffin.

Marco: And who was that character?

Amanda:  My sister had blueberry muffin. I had apple dumpling, and I think our neighbor had strawberry shortcake.

Marco: So wait a minute. I don't know the strawberry shortcake world.

Amanda:  That's all I can tell you about the universe, because all I can tell you is the dolls we had. I don't remember the cartoons.

Marco: But if Apple dumpling was the sidekick, who was blueberry muffin?

Amanda:  Maybe Apple dumpling was, like, the little sidekick, and blueberry muffin was, like, the best friend.

Marco: Okay, I don't know. All right, fair enough.

Amanda:  Anyway, so as a kid, you're like, strawberries, they're the best. Everyone around you is like, guess what we're having tonight? Strawberries or strawberry shortcake. So you think, yay, that's the best thing ever.

Marco: And it is in my book.

Amanda:  And so as a kid, my mom would be like, this weekend, you know, this is a very specific memory, but we're gonna watch Solid Gold and have strawberry shortcake. Well, that was like, the ultimate Saturday night, right? Solid Gold. Or maybe it's Friday.

Marco: It still is.

Amanda:  Solid Gold. Strawberry shortcake. And I remember, like, jumping on the couch with my sister. We're so excited for strawberries. And the thing is, as I would eat them and they didn't taste great to me, but the concept was, like, this exciting thing. Strawberries. They're red, they're beautiful, they look good. Everyone loves them, so what's not to love? So I don't think I really listened to my own inner voice or stomach saying, this doesn't taste great. I just kept eating them. And so I got into adult. I never, ever would choose them because I'd be like, I don't. That's not. You know, I would never buy them. And then finally, really, like in my 30s, people offer me strawberries, and I'd be like, you know what? I don't like strawberries. Actually, to me, they're full of seeds, and they have either no taste or an acidic taste, but there's nothing sweet or even a flavor that I can really detect. It's. I don't know, my cilantro or something. So that's what I realized. And so very much like comic book movies where people will be like, no, no, you'll like this one. And then you're like, no, that. Although people don't say that anymore to me, but it used to be that my comic book nerdy friends would be like, even people that don't like comic movies, this has great characters this has a great plot. And so I would be like, okay, great, I'll come watch that movie with you. And then be like, eh, sure. That's me. With strawberries as well. People would be like, oh, but you'll love these ones. Then they'll say things like, oh, I get it if they're like, farmed, but these are wild. Or these are Ontario, or these are really whatever. And they'll be like, you'll like these ones. And so then I'd be like, okay, great. And then I'd eat them and be like, I don't get it. They're just little. They taste like cleaning solution with seeds.

Marco: I was with you when we had, like, one of the world's best strawberries I've ever had, and you didn't like it. I'm like, she's never gonna like strawberries.

Amanda:  Where was that?

Marco: That was in Montreal.

Amanda:  Oh, really?

Marco: They had, like, wild strawberries picked from a farm an hour north of.

Amanda:  How are they wild if they're from

Marco: a farm on Forest. I guess they were forage strawberries. Yeah. And they were fantastic. And you didn't like them. And I was like, you'll never like. If you don't like these strawberries. You'll never like strawberries.

Amanda:  There's something in them that I can't taste now. There's only one person I've ever met who I've, I guess, had the conversation with. I don't remember her name, but she was a hair and makeup artist. But specifically hair on a set of a Christmas movie that I shot like five years ago. Somebody said, oh, you know, we have on set various. It's like a good set. Most sets have kind of food all the time. And there's actually a thing that they have to. They have to give you a snack. I think it's like you have to have lunch. I don't remember what it is four hours in. There's some rules anyways, five hours in, anyway. And, like, they have to have proper meals every so many hours. But then every two hours, I think it is, they have to have what we call a substantial snack. Now, they don't do this in the States. They call it this in the States, I've learned. But in Canada, we call them all subs. So every two hours you're like, what's the sub? What's the sub?

Marco: The substantial snack.

Amanda:  And it's short for substantial snack. But for whatever reason, we always call them. I don't know what they call them in the States. But anyway, we always call Them, the sub. Sometimes they are subs.

Marco: I was gonna. I said, begs the question, can it be a sub for your sub?

Amanda:  They usually be like, what's the sub? Oh, it's like a lentil soup. It's, you know, a little cup of lentil soup or it's chili or, oh, it's been a, you know, a little banh mi or whatever. Like there's all sorts of things it could be, right. A little snack, a pasta salad. I've seen. So anyway, the sub had something to do with strawberries or they had strawberries at the craft truck. And so someone came in, they're like, they have strawberries or they have great strawberry shortcake or strawberry something. And she was doing my hair and I had pretty elaborate hair for that shoot. And she was doing my hair and she was like, no, sorry, I don't like strawberries. And they went, what? She's like, no, don't like them. I don't get it. And I went, me too. And we both freaked out because we had never met anyone else who didn't like strawberries. And even if you remember the night we got married, my bridesmaids, very sweetly.

Marco: That's right.

Amanda:  Did chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. And I had to laugh. It was one of those moments. God love them. It was very sweet. But I was like, there's nothing I would like less than chocolate covered strawberries. And you don't like champagne.

Marco: It was the perfect match.

Amanda:  And I don't really love champagne either. I mean, I'll drink it, but it's not my favorite. So I was like, what they should have put was like Coke Zeros and, you know, some smart food.

Marco: Sure. Yeah. So I have a little. Well, I have a strawberry story, but I also have another story I'm going to tell. So today on cherries. Tomorrow I'm going to talk about cherries. Tomorrow I'm going to talk about the

Amanda:  name of our next season. Cherries Tomorrow.

Marco: I sanded wood floors.

Amanda:  Yeah, you need to talk about it.

Marco: So we at our cottage have linoleum that had been there forever and it was peeling and kind of getting a little bit precarious because the parts that were peeling, if you walked by them, you could trip and really hurt yourself. So it was like it was like a floor that bit back. Like it was not a floor to mess with. Okay. So I was like, it's time to get rid of these floors. And so when I pulled back the linoleum, I noticed that underneath there was like hardwood or I should say pine, because it's pine, but pine wood, slatted floors, kind of like hardwood floors, if you could picture. Only they were very dingy and gray and scuffed because they had taken the abuse of everything under the linoleum. And I think the linoleum itself was. Was wreaking havoc on it. Certainly there were some. There was some glue that was underneath as well, and they probably had seen feet in the 1930s.

Amanda:  So, yeah, it's crazy when you think about it. I mean. So would you call that, like, a naughty pine?

Marco: There's nuts, but I don't think I'd call it a naughty pine. I don't know how knotty a knotty pine is.

Amanda:  Well, we're gonna look it up.

Marco: Okay. Amanda will look it up. So this had a few knots here and there, but it wasn't extremely naughty, and it was well behaved.

Amanda:  I think it's naughty pine.

Marco: Oh, really?

Amanda:  I do, yeah. Like looking at it.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda:  I think it's a naughty pine.

Marco: Naughty pine, yeah. So anyway, so let's assume it was a naughty pine, because it does kind of look like the images Amanda is showing.

Amanda:  I mean, and these are fresh, naughty pine. Like you had to sand it down. But I think ultimately that's what it is, because I think it's safe to say it probably was pine floors. Right?

Marco: 100.

Amanda:  Yeah.

Marco: So I'm sanding these floors, and it's taking me forever because I need to hand sand them, because I wanted to get the sanding machine. But I was talking the guy at the hardware store, and we both agreed that with the size of the floor and what I had to do, hand sanding would be better. Well, hand sanding proved to be quite a challenge. I had an orbital sander, which is the round one. I had the little mouse, which is the one that has the little peak. I had a square sander. And it wasn't until my sister brought out the belt sander that I really made some hedgeway. Right. But you've got to be hedge way. What's the phrase?

Amanda:  Headway.

Marco: Headway.

Amanda:  I like hedgeway.

Marco: Yeah, you have to like when you have a hedge, and you've got to cut it down. So I was hedging my way through the floor, right? And with this handset, with this belt sander. But you've got to be careful with the belt sander, Amanda, because a belt sander is fast and furious.

Amanda:  Okay.

Marco: And if you're not careful, you can notch out a piece of wood, or you could, you know, make a. A divot in your floors and you don't want to divot in your floor.

Amanda:  Right, right, right.

Marco: So I had to be careful.

Amanda:  But also, you know, you're learning, and there's a bit of grace with that. I think if you have a divot, I mean, especially at a cottage, you have a divot, then you have a divot.

Marco: But this wasn't my first time. This wasn't the first time I sanded floors. I believe there's an episode out there where I sanded our floors in our home. And that was a challenge. And I used a machine, and I. And there is a divot and a notch, because that machine was. Was a machine meant for people who sand floors all the time. But I digress. And here's the thing, folks. I was like, listen, it'll be better than the linoleum that bites you back. So I'm just gonna do it. So I did it, and then I went to the. I had gone to the paint store the week before, and I had a wonderful person there. Her name wasn't Oats, but we met someone named Oats recently, didn't we? My name is Oats.

Amanda:  Yeah, we did. In Minneapolis. Yeah, we met in Oats. Yeah, she was lovely.

Marco: Well, this woman kind of reminded me.

Amanda:  By the way, folks, we went to Minneapolis. I met a woman named Oats.

Marco: She was kind of like Oats, but with shorter hair. Okay, so no one will understand that. Except Amanda.

Amanda:  I mean, I don't really remember Oats. I just remember mostly her name was Oats. She was a waitress, and when I ordered the fish tacos, she said, people come from other. We were at the airport. People come from other terminals just to eat these fish tacos.

Marco: What could Oats be short for? I wanted to ask her, but I didn't know how to say.

Amanda:  I almost went. Well, there's a few things. Her last name, it could just be a nickname, and that's what she goes by. Like, I was called Oats my whole life because when I was little, I fell in a bag of oats, and they all called me Oats. I know, it's true. We should. We gotta go back to Minneapolis and find her.

Marco: Is there a name that is like Oats? Like, is. Is there like shs. Is that a name?

Amanda:  Or like, O. Odile? Odala, Odella, maybe.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda:  I mean, Minneapolis has a Nordic population, so maybe it's a Nordic name.

Marco: Odilia or something like that.

Amanda:  Yeah. Or Orin. Son. I don't know.

Marco: Well, anyways, I guess it would be

Amanda:  this woman, Odin's daughter. Odin. Maybe Odin Odin.

Marco: Okay.

Amanda:  I mean, yeah, I don't know.

Marco: She wasn't a mythical Norse. Norse, no.

Amanda:  But she was a, you know, 60 year old waitress in Minneapolis. So.

Marco: Well, cut to this. The six year old woman who helped me at the hardware store with the paint.

Amanda:  Oats two.

Marco: Oats two, if you will.

Amanda:  The revenge.

Marco: So Oats two takes me and I'm like, I need to have. I'm doing this with my floors. I showed her photos and she's like, okay, I know what you need. And you know when you have somebody,

Amanda:  I'm laughing because I know his cousin was with him.

Marco: My cousin. My cousin lover.

Amanda:  She.

Marco: She has strong opinions and just won't let those opinions lie.

Amanda:  I'm just. Can I just say one thing about your cousin? I won't even name this cousin, okay? Because I don't want them to be a source of anyone's ridicule. They are their own person. So they live alone. They have a lovely home. And they live alone. They've lived alone a long time in their lovely home. And they have interesting complaints about their house and things and renovations that they want to do to their house. And one of the big renovations that I think we've said that it's a she. One of the big renovations that she wants to do in her house is she wants to soundproof her shower because her shower is really loud when she takes a shower. Now, it's not loud inside the shower, it's loud in the hallway. You can hear the shower. Okay. But she lives alone, so I don't understand. And she. And this is a real concern to her that the shower is loud from the hallway. But as far as I know, I mean, she could be living a whole other life. I have no real idea. But as far as I know, there's nobody else there, at least on a daily basis. So she's mad that other. She doesn't even have a cat. Like nobody can hear the shower, but somehow she knows that the shower is loud. So she wants to soundproof the bathroom or the shower to make it less loud for the hallway.

Marco: My cousin is like an Oats three. Okay? So let's just put that into perspective. She's a younger Oats. So Oats two takes me to the paint section.

Amanda:  Okay.

Marco: And Oats two is like, okay, here are the paints that you need for flooring. She's like, this one's going to be great. This one's great too. But this one here is the best. It will give you a bowling ball, bowling alley finish.

Amanda:  Okay, and what does that Mean a bowling alley.

Marco: That means you can walk on it, you can tap dance on it, you can tap dance, you could throw bowling balls on it. And your floor will be perfect every time.

Amanda:  Amazing. And it's going to take a lot of A kitchen anywhere, no matter where, is going to take a lot of foot traffic.

Marco: Listen, I don't blame the linoleum for biting back. It had a lot of wear and tear.

Amanda:  Oh, yeah. It owed us nothing. I mean, and actually it looked decent. It was just when we put in the flooring around it that wasn't linoleum. I think it got displaced a bit and then started peeling up.

Marco: And then if you catch your foot on the peel, you'd go flying.

Amanda:  Oh, yeah, it was a trip. It was like. I don't know what to describe it. It was like walking on the inside of. You know how kids have those bibs that are plastic that flip up at the end? Yeah, it was like being on the inside, the kitchen floor. Like the one of those bibs surrounding it so you would trip over the ledge of the flippy uppy part.

Marco: It was a walking hazard for sure.

Amanda:  We had to deal with it.

Marco: So anyways, so Oats recommends this one brand.

Amanda:  Like. Like an Oats is. Is ought to do.

Marco: And this. I got a gallon of that paint, Amanda, and it cost $147.

Amanda:  That's no joke.

Marco: That's no joke. That is no joke. But I had faith in Oats too, and their reco. So I was like, okay. And I said. And I said to Oats, I said oats to listen, I only want to do this once and I want to do it right.

Amanda:  And then she said.

Marco: And she's like, this is.

Amanda:  Why are you calling me Oats?

Marco: She's like, she had an odd name, too. Like an unusual name. No, it was like, what was it? Jazzy or something like that. It was something like that. I can't remember their name.

Amanda:  But this is a more interesting part of the whole story.

Marco: So I go to get the. I go to get the. The paint. And this is where Oats 3, my cousin, is with me. And Oats 3 is like, you gotta get the glossy. You gotta get the glossy. Your other. Your other floor is glossy. It won't look right. I'm like, I don't want glossy. Because I had spoken to Amanda and Amanda said, I don't want glossy. Amanda's with her folks in Florida.

Amanda:  I don't live in a world of gloss friends. No gloss for this lake.

Marco: So it's like, okay.

Amanda:  She's right. The other floor is glossy because it was salvaged hardwood. The rest of the other floor, pretty much all of it is salvaged hardwood. And came and it was glossy because that's how it was.

Marco: That floor comes from my best friend's living room because he had a flood and so some of his floor was damaged and the insurance was replacing all the floor. So I said, can I take your hardwood floor? I went there with him.

Amanda:  He offered it. He called you up and said, do you want to come get it? Because they're just gonna get it and toss it. And I have no use for it. Maybe you do. I showed up with a crowbar and a father and two Italians.

Marco: My cousins were visiting from Italy. And we plink, plank, plink. We took the floors off, put them in a van.

Amanda:  I love that. We put your little cousin to work when he came.

Marco: And his friend, his best friend, his

Amanda:  English speaking best friend. So anyways, his friend did not speak English, folks. But that was how they got their parents to pay for the trip.

Marco: So my cousin insisted that I should get the glossy or the semi glossy.

Amanda:  Not his cousin from Italy. No, but Oats three.

Marco: Three. So I was like, oats three, you've got to leave me alone for a second. I don't want that.

Amanda:  Just the thought of you guys yelling at each other.

Marco: We weren't yelling, but I was. I had to be firm.

Amanda:  But I know how she is and I know how you are.

Marco: So I was firm with Oats 3. And I will say this, Oats 3 took it in stride. Because when I said I need she

Amanda:  also a very hard worker.

Marco: Yeah. So Oats three were like, come and

Amanda:  lay all the hardwood with me. She's like, okay, no problem. And she'd come.

Marco: So I look and I said, I just don't want to get the wrong one. I want to get the clearance and I want to get the satin finish. I didn't want the semi gloss. I didn't want the gloss. I wanted the satin.

Amanda:  Thank you. I had nothing to do with this. I just made a request and off I went. So I wasn't around.

Marco: The hardest part, the sanding was tough for sure, but the cleaning up of the dust in the cottage to prepare the floors was a nightmare.

Amanda:  I believe it.

Marco: Thankfully, my sister loves to clean. She told me she was excited to clean and I was like, let's have at it. And so she had a plan. And, you know, she's almost like an oats 4. She had a plan and we.

Amanda:  And our niece is Oats five.

Marco: And we executed the plan.

Amanda:  Great.

Marco: And our niece Mia has been on the podcast, and she will come back on the podcast too, so. So I'll call her Oats when she does. And she's.

Amanda:  She's a little. She's the little original OG Oats.

Marco: Yeah.

Amanda:  So we cleaned your family and their plans.

Marco: We cleaned and we cleaned Amanda. We washed walls, we vacuumed, we did everything.

Amanda:  That's amazing.

Marco: We even took the blinds off, completely off. And they were washed by my cousin Oates. Three.

Amanda:  Washed.

Marco: Washed the blinds.

Amanda:  Your family loves to wash a blind too.

Marco: Vacuumed and then washed the blinds.

Amanda:  Wow.

Marco: While this was going on, once we cleaned, it was time to use this very expensive varnish, or whatever you call it. I should look it up. I have it in my phone, and the minute I put it on, it was worth. I could tell it was worth every penny.

Amanda:  It looked amazing from the picture. I haven't seen it yet. So because I've been away, I'll put.

Marco: I'll put photos on the. On. On the Instagram. And Amanda, the moment I put it on, it just wonderful. And this particular. This particular varnish, or I'm gonna call it Varnish, I'll look it up. What it. What it's actually called, if you put it on and let it dry for two hours, you can then put another coat on without sanding in between. But if you wait 24 hours, you have to actually sand before your next coat. So my goal was not to sand because I had sanded so much. Yeah, a light sanding. That is right. Just a light sand. And so like clockwork, every two hours, my sister and I would go paint the floors. And the minute we stepped on the paint on the floor the first time, after the first coat, my sister said, this feels great underneath my feet. And I was like, this is great.

Amanda:  Awesome.

Marco: Every coat, it just looked better. It looked. Came out better than I expected, and so I'm happy.

Amanda:  That's awesome. I can't wait to see it.

Marco: So you'll have to let our listeners know next time what you think of the floors.

Amanda:  I'm Oats nine.

Marco: There you go. If you have an Oats in your family, please share a story or let us know why you think the nickname was Oats. And if you know Oats, who works in the Minneapolis airport, it's called.

Amanda:  The name of the restaurant, I think was called Twins.

Marco: Yeah, Twins. Please give a shout out like the baseball team from us.

Amanda:  Yeah.

Marco: Imagine you serve a couple once, and all of a sudden they're talking about you on the podcast.

Amanda:  I will say, she was right. The fish tacos were amazing. And you had a salad that was pretty good, too, right?

Marco: I had an enormous salad.

Amanda:  Yeah. We highly recommend the Twins restaurant at the Minneapolis airport in terminal.

Marco: I want to say three, and I will say this, I recommend you let your friends know about this podcast, especially if you're enjoying it. And we thank you. A few people were telling me that they were recommending it to friends who are having trouble sleeping.

Amanda:  So give us, please give us four bags of oats on your recos and

Marco: five star review if you can. Until next time.

Amanda:  Five bags of oats.

Marco: Of oats. Five bags of oats from us here at Cherries tomorrow. We wish you a lovely evening and

Amanda:  I hope you had some beautiful strawberries yesterday.

Marco: There you go. Until next time. We hope you listen and sleep.
