Here are some moments you can look forward to during this episode of Book interrupted. Here we are with boob sweat. Boob sweat is the worst.
[00:00:39] Speaker C: It grows fast. That's why I had to get rid of the mullet because I was like having to shave it so often.
[00:00:44] Speaker D: If you dare bring it inside, he must hang his head in shame.
[00:00:48] Speaker E: That looks like a lavender.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: Thank you, Virginia.
[00:00:52] Speaker F: We just did the recording with karma Brown and I was like, my face felt like it was like throbbing. It was beet red.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: I was obsessed with it in China. I love jackfruit.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: Linen pants are the only thing that you can wear. Otherwise you are of a full puddle butt.
You ready, guys? Let's do this.
Express yourself. Share the wealth. Hold on to your bookmarks. We're off the shelf. Express yourself. It's good for your health. Book interrupted is all.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Welcome to Book interrupted. A book club for busy people to connect and one that celebrates life's interruptions.
[00:01:39] Speaker A: Oh my God. The next episode of book interrupted is off the shelf. Hold onto your bookmarks.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: Ever wonder what we talk about before or after the show? Did you want updates on some of our challenges? Maybe insight into some deleted scenes? Here's your chance. Let's look behind the scenes. It's so hot here. Like serious heat wave.
[00:02:00] Speaker D: No way.
Apparently we're supposed to be getting one in Ontario. I think even in the GTA area it's going to feel like plus 40 with humidity, folks, starting tomorrow.
[00:02:13] Speaker F: Oh.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Oh, thanks, Dwight.
[00:02:16] Speaker D: Our hair is going to be this big.
[00:02:18] Speaker F: Oh my God.
[00:02:21] Speaker B: Yeah, the rainy season and the heat doesn't usually come until July. But it already rained yesterday, so I don't know what's going on. And Mamadou is going to install an air conditioner in here for me. But we thought we had a couple months still, so nope. Here we are with boob sweat. Boob sweat is the worst.
[00:02:39] Speaker D: Boobs wet and ass crack sweat. I hate it.
[00:02:43] Speaker C: No, ass crack sweat is the worst.
[00:02:45] Speaker D: Not even ass crack.
[00:02:46] Speaker A: My whole back of my thighs and my whole ass cheeks would be soaking wet in Ontario in any car. If you need to drive from a to b as soon as you get in.
Linen pants are the only thing that you can wear. Otherwise, you are a full puddle butt.
Puddle butt.
[00:03:05] Speaker D: I love that.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: So Leah did say we should start without her because she's helping Virginia figure out how to get her audacity.
Oh, she's there.
[00:03:16] Speaker F: Sorry. Okay.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Sorry.
[00:03:19] Speaker F: We're just talking about ass sweat, so don't worry.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: You didn't miss.
[00:03:22] Speaker F: Oh, I heard.
[00:03:23] Speaker C: And I agree wholeheartedly.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: I have as sweat right now.
[00:03:28] Speaker D: Oh, geez.
[00:03:30] Speaker B: I have my stress all the way up bare legged. I'm so hot.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: We're still in spring.
[00:03:35] Speaker D: We're in cool spring.
[00:03:37] Speaker C: Raining today again. We've got lots of rain. And then when the sturdy sun comes out, guess what the mosquitoes are on. Like, if we haven't had mosquito season yet. It's so weird. I mean, I got a couple bites.
[00:03:47] Speaker D: Ours started three weeks ago, but you're.
[00:03:51] Speaker C: Also getting 40 degree weather, so 14 today.
[00:03:54] Speaker D: But we had the obscene amounts of rain, so, yeah, flowers, the grass, everything is growing beautifully.
[00:04:03] Speaker C: Oh, hello, Virginia.
[00:04:05] Speaker E: Why, hello. How are you?
[00:04:08] Speaker C: Good. We just had karma brown on from the 4% fix. We had a thing before this, and we're like, well, we're chatting too much, and we gotta go.
[00:04:17] Speaker F: That stuff.
[00:04:18] Speaker E: Oh, my God. That's exciting.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: Anyway, so if you were waiting, that's.
[00:04:22] Speaker F: What we've been doing.
[00:04:23] Speaker B: Oh, no, no, no.
[00:04:24] Speaker E: You know, I censor a message saying, I'll just make sure all my tech works, so I'm good to go.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: That's good.
[00:04:29] Speaker F: How was your day?
[00:04:30] Speaker E: Toronto?
[00:04:32] Speaker D: Oh, good.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:33] Speaker D: The day's just kind of getting started.
[00:04:35] Speaker C: I haven't been to pride since I was a teenager. I love pride. So fun.
[00:04:40] Speaker E: The weather's holding out too, Aliyah. I was worried for the rain, but looks like it's gonna be all right. Yeah, I hope it doesn't. It's pretty gray, but at least you won't be sweltering in the beating sun on you, you know, either. Yeah.
[00:04:50] Speaker D: Your hair looks gorgeous, Jim.
[00:04:52] Speaker E: Oh, you know what's funny is it was like, it was just in the pool. I did nothing to it but put some product in it. So thanks. Because it's like, normally looks like a.
[00:05:00] Speaker C: If you just go swimming every day, swim in the morning product, and then you're ready to go.
[00:05:05] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:05:07] Speaker F: Did you get yours cut again?
[00:05:08] Speaker C: No, but it's growing in, so it's like I wanted to kind of like a mixie, right? But I had to because it was shaved at the side. Had to cut it. It's really growing into itself. I'm digging it.
[00:05:17] Speaker E: Your hair's growing fast.
[00:05:19] Speaker C: It grows fast. That's why I had to get rid of the mullet, because I was, like, having to shave it so often, it was getting so long in the front. I'm like, I got to get something that's longer to or just shave it off. That's what I kind of figured. So I did this, and if it doesn't work out, just shave it off.
[00:05:32] Speaker D: See ya.
[00:05:33] Speaker F: Hi, Virginia.
[00:05:34] Speaker E: Hey, how you doing?
[00:05:36] Speaker B: Welcome back.
[00:05:37] Speaker E: Thank you.
[00:05:38] Speaker F: Final episode.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: I know.
[00:05:41] Speaker E: It's like, yes.
[00:05:42] Speaker F: You have a lovely voice. I did the show notes. This mare was doing the other ones. When I did this last week, I was like, you have this, like, lovely, soothing. I don't know. You should be, like, a radio host or something. That's beautiful on, like, the recording. It sounds so lovely, and I don't know, I felt very, I don't know, calm or, I don't know, soothed.
[00:06:06] Speaker E: Maybe we're just all hard on ourselves, but every time I hear my voice, I'm like, ugh.
[00:06:10] Speaker C: Everyone listens. Yeah, yeah. Like, my voice is way lower than I think it is. It's, like, sounds higher in my head. And then I hear a recording, I was like, oh, I have, like, a really low voice.
[00:06:21] Speaker E: That's funny.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: I do not have the same thing. I have the highest voice ever.
[00:06:27] Speaker D: It doesn't sound like it right now.
[00:06:30] Speaker F: When you say when you do that, you do.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: But, well, on the show, if I get excited about something or.
[00:06:35] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, my voice goes up when I get. My voice goes up when I get excited, too. You're like, settle down.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: Settle down, Virginia.
[00:06:43] Speaker F: I have a cough, so if I leave, don't be offended because I'm probably.
[00:06:47] Speaker D: Coughing with your neck.
[00:06:48] Speaker F: Lynn.
[00:06:49] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:06:50] Speaker F: Oh, I'm. No, I'm hot. It's so hot in here, and I can't have my air conditioning on because it's really loud. We just did the recording with karma Brown, and I was like, my face felt like it was, like, throbbing. It was beet red. So I was like, I need something cool. So, like, I'll just grab this, and then. So warm in my house right now.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. I feel you, Lindsay. I'm the same way. And it's so hot in here. My husband's like, why can't you put the fan. Except he hasn't installed the air conditioner yet, and because it's not quite summer, he, you know, he'll leave it to the last whatever, and he said, can't you put the fan. I'm like, no. Because the sun will be, like, in the background. He's in. Oh, right.
[00:07:29] Speaker E: Instead, you're just gonna have, like, beads of sweat.
[00:07:32] Speaker F: Right.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: Like, how red my face is.
[00:07:34] Speaker F: I'm just, like, getting redder and was so red in that last, like, when I was talking to karma brown.
[00:07:38] Speaker C: I'm like.
[00:07:39] Speaker F: I'm like, beet red. I can feel sweat.
[00:07:41] Speaker C: I'm like, I'm so hot.
[00:07:42] Speaker E: That must have been so exciting. So did you guys kind of do, like, a. Like, an interview with karma Brown then? Because that must have been so cool.
[00:07:50] Speaker C: It was really fun.
[00:07:51] Speaker F: She was great. She was wonderful. Just lovely. And we talked about the book. We talked a bit about Roe v. Wade, and we talked a bit about, oh, wow. Just life and children and not children and. I don't know. It was a great chat. It was funny.
[00:08:04] Speaker E: She in the US?
[00:08:06] Speaker A: Ontario.
[00:08:07] Speaker E: Oh, she is.
[00:08:07] Speaker F: Or Ontario. I don't know if she's in Toronto, but she's in Ontario. Yeah.
[00:08:10] Speaker E: Gotcha.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:08:12] Speaker F: Yeah. So she's cool.
[00:08:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:13] Speaker D: I like your hair.
[00:08:14] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: Hey, Kim.
[00:08:15] Speaker E: How's it going?
[00:08:16] Speaker A: Good. How are you?
[00:08:17] Speaker E: Good, good.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:19] Speaker D: I like blue on you. It's really good with your skin color.
[00:08:21] Speaker E: That looks like a lavender.
[00:08:23] Speaker A: This is. Thank you, Virginia. No, listen. This is the story. This is the story of my life. I want periwinkle. And I think that periwinkle is that color that people debate. Is it blue or is it purple? So both of you are right, and it's fine. This is the color I wanted. Don't worry, leah.
[00:08:40] Speaker F: I like it.
[00:08:41] Speaker D: Periwinkle.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:08:42] Speaker F: But it used to be more blue, wasn't it?
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Well, this was the journey. Like, I've been trying to create periwinkle. And apparently blue is just the more dominant of the colors because I mixed blue and purple together to get there. And, yeah, it was, well, blue before. So this is the closest I've ever been to what I was actually trying to do over the last, I don't know, six months.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: Six months.
Because I do want to.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: It's been a journey.
[00:09:06] Speaker B: Six months.

[email protected].
[00:09:21] Speaker D: Book interrupted.
[00:09:24] Speaker A: This interruption is brought to you by technology.
I've been talking about this for a while now, so anyone who knows me will find this familiar because I can't stop talking about it. I now feel like it's personal and technology is like, literally out to get me. One example that I have is I was reading emails one day and I opened an email and it was written to me in like, giant fonthe. It was sent to me by someone who later texted me, was like, I don't know why my email's in giant font. So it already happened to them. So I opened it. And it wasn't strange at that moment because I had been reading their giant font email ever since that happened to them because they didn't know how to switch it back. And then I went to compose an email after having received an email from giant font person, and my email was also then in giant font. And so all of the strategies that someone who was more computer savvy than me, new did not work. Like, we found even the settings where you can, like, control your font to see how big the type is for your messages, like when they come in. But it did not affect, of course, the problem because why would it be that simple? Why would there be one stupid. It makes me so mad because I eventually did find out the solution to my problem and it was a totally different move. And it just makes me wonder, like, why would there be a setting to control all of the fonts on your email page except for the font in the body? Or why wouldn't the setting that controls all of the font size on your email page also control the setting of your body? Even if the way that you changed the size of the font in the body of the email was a different thing, what actually happened was, and people like, who know computers are probably like, all you have to do is this. Because that's what happened. It's usually a simple solution. I asked another person that I know has helped me in the past with computer stuff, and I must have, and this makes me mad too, accidentally pushed buttons on my keyboard that resulted in a command. And that command was like, make your font size humongous.
And so I had to push, control and scroll. And if you scroll now, I can tell you all this, if you want to have a little help, if your font size has randomly gotten too big, you push control and you scroll with your mouse, or you scroll on your mouse pad, whatever, and the font size of the body of the email will get bigger and smaller in relation to, like, your scroll. So that's all I had to do to put it back to what I wanted it to be. But I just wish when you do some command on your keyboard, your computer, like, lit up and told you, hey, you just did this. Command, did you mean to? Or something like that? Because then I could be like, no, I didn't. Anyway, my son is coming, so I'm now getting interrupted in an interruption. Ooh, somebody. Hold on. Let's record a new interruption. One moment.
[00:12:27] Speaker D: Book interrupted.
[00:12:30] Speaker F: There she is. Hi.
[00:12:31] Speaker E: Hello.
[00:12:32] Speaker A: She made it.
[00:12:33] Speaker F: Hi.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: Hello.
[00:12:34] Speaker D: Sorry, guys.
[00:12:35] Speaker F: Is your hair darker or a different color?
[00:12:37] Speaker C: It's wet.
[00:12:38] Speaker D: Yeah, I just put water all over it because it's so humid here. It was literally, like, this big. And, you know when you, like, catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror? So I'm getting the tech set up. I'm like, oh, I better go pee. And I pass by myself, and I'm.
[00:12:52] Speaker C: Like, who is that lady?
[00:12:57] Speaker A: What?
[00:12:57] Speaker F: Are you wearing a sweater? Do we not live in this almost the same place?
[00:13:00] Speaker C: No, I actually.
[00:13:01] Speaker F: I just to, like, look like I changed. I took my shirt off, and I just have this little, like, bra top. So I was like, okay, I'll make this work. I was like, it is so hot. I'm like, it's dripping sweat. My computer, I had to turn it off for a minute because it was overheating. It was like, oh, my God, so hot in here. Yeah, it's intense. So it's like, I'm having a pot. I made it. It's strawberry banana that I put in the blender and then put one of these.
Sweating.
[00:13:28] Speaker C: Our summer's, like, just getting started. It has done nothing but rain every day for, like, a month and a half to two months. Like, just. Our lawn looks getting no rain here, and it's been cool. But today we're going up to 23 degrees.
[00:13:42] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:13:43] Speaker C: So summer's getting started finally, but it's supposed to be 28 degrees next weekend. That's just the long forecast, though. It'll never be that, but, you know, whatever.
[00:13:54] Speaker D: Yeah, it's nice to be hopeful.
[00:13:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: And here it rained early to the point where it, like, ruined the mango harvest. Cause it rained too early. So we thought we were gonna have a long rainy season, and then it just stopped. So now everyone's like, kind of because people oftentimes plant their seeds after the first or second rain because then it's going to rain and they don't have to use well water and all that stuff. And it just hasn't for, like, a few weeks.
[00:14:19] Speaker C: Are you on well water, Sarah?
[00:14:21] Speaker B: Our farm is, but not here. And right now we get the water we drink from a neighboring farm because they have a really deep well that has spring water.
[00:14:29] Speaker C: It's really good.
[00:14:30] Speaker D: Delicious.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: But ours is just, like, a regular. Well, like, we only water our yummy. We have so many fruit trees now. And we have. We have a noni tree. What's that?
Noni is like a superfood that tastes of, like, sweaty gym socks is the only reason. Healthy for you. It's, like, anti carcinogenic. People in health food stores would buy it in the juice form because it prevents cancer. Like, it's like a superfood. But then we have, like, our mango trees that are mature, but then we have pomegranate and we have passion fruit, and we have lemon and lime and citrus and meringue.
Oh, and I have a jackfruit tree, too.
[00:15:08] Speaker F: So useful.
[00:15:09] Speaker D: Nice. Oh, it must be.
[00:15:10] Speaker F: It's so gross.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: I was obsessed with it in China. I love jackfruit.
[00:15:15] Speaker C: We've tried it a couple times, and the vote in the family is a universal lookup. Never again.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: Well, talk to mom, because she hated when I bought the jackfruit and brought.
[00:15:23] Speaker F: It to her house.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: She was like, it's making the whole house smell.
[00:15:26] Speaker C: I'm like, maybe there's, like, a certain people. You know, like, a certain people don't like cilantro. Maybe it's the same thing because, like, we tried it for. We're like, oh, this would be good for camping. You can bring the sealed jackfruit and then, like, put in her stuff. And it just made everything inedible. I mean, we ate it, but it was like. It was a slime.
[00:15:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:43] Speaker D: I don't know. Looking at the.
[00:15:44] Speaker C: Ate it because it was the food.
[00:15:45] Speaker D: I don't know if I want to try it. Crazy looking.
[00:15:48] Speaker F: It's, like, pink on the outside, right? White on the inside?
[00:15:50] Speaker D: No, it's green on the outside.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: Green fruit. And then it has these little pods in it with a seed. And you eat the pods, and then you take this. This black seed out. It's bright orange. I ate so many while I was obsessed with it. In China, there was this japanese grocery store.
[00:16:07] Speaker C: You ate it fresh?
[00:16:08] Speaker B: Yeah, fresh. They would just sell them on the.
[00:16:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:10] Speaker D: It looks very interesting.
[00:16:11] Speaker F: What about Durian? Has anyone had Durian before?
[00:16:14] Speaker D: No.
[00:16:15] Speaker F: You don't know Durian? Oh, my gosh.
[00:16:16] Speaker D: Durian.
[00:16:17] Speaker F: It's called Durian. It is the stinkiest fruit you've ever had in your entire life.
[00:16:21] Speaker D: Gustol, my father in law from the jackfruit family.
[00:16:25] Speaker F: Oh, there you go. And it is super, super strong smelling.
[00:16:29] Speaker D: It looks gnarly.
[00:16:30] Speaker F: I don't mind it, but, like, Laird's mom, he has to keep it outside. He can only cut everything. Has to be outside. He can eat it, but he can like bring it in maybe, but only quickly.
[00:16:41] Speaker E: And bring it in quickly and then get back out.
[00:16:43] Speaker D: Yeah, if he dare bring it inside, he must hang his head in shame.
[00:16:47] Speaker F: You should one time try durian. I don't mind it, but it's stinky.
[00:16:50] Speaker D: It does look very easy.
[00:16:51] Speaker C: I'll try it.
[00:16:52] Speaker F: I love fruit.
[00:16:53] Speaker D: Yeah, you're good.
[00:16:56] Speaker C: I'll try jackfruit again Sarah with you. But my family will try mine.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: Vine ripened maybe see what I can. I also have a baobab tree which is going to grow massive.
