And then we're 2019.

I think we're in season four by that by then.

And

COVID and COVID was not kind to people with dementia with the isolation.

So mom, the phone calls stopped, at least the phone calls about our show.

She couldn't keep up with it anymore.

And the forward and the backwards and the present time that was confusing for her.

But dad always promised me they always still watched it.

She couldn't remember it, but she still watched it.

So that was super important.

So I finished the season without mom talking about it.

And then in January of 2024, you guys started this podcast, I think right around that time.

And that's when mom's Alzheimer's was really progressed.

So I decided I need to spend more time with mom before she forgets who I am and to help out dad.

So starting January in 2024,

I have gone every other Thursday morning from Iowa to my parents in Illinois, my childhood home, and I come back here every Saturday.

So I'm there.

And so what you guys have been like literally on the car ride with me.

Because you guys do one every week, and so I save one.

They drop on Tuesday, so I watch.
