And that is right before the interesting part starts. podcast-host

So let's uh let's picture an ice cube sitting in a room that's slowly warming up. podcast-host

So, you know, you've just taken the ice cube out of the freezer, so it's probably about five minus five degrees. podcast-host

five degrees, right? podcast-host

So it's sitting there, then it drops down, drops down, goes up, I suppose, goes up to minus four degrees, then minus three degrees, and nothing's happening. podcast-host

It just sits there looking extremely cool. podcast-host

I can understand English the way natives speak it. podcast-host

It it came from all of the invisible days of listening practice that came before it. podcast-host
