Yeah, we're going really subtle today, but I think our listeners love it.

So then what's the difference as our listener, Sophia asked, settle down.

How's it different?

Very different, right?

Essentially, what you're saying is kind of it's language for it's code for getting married, having kids, at least in our culture.

That's code for getting a house, mortgage, kids, house, car, loans, things like that.

Anything that kind of ties you down a little bit, right?

Please settle down.

We don't want to have a fight here.

Right.

So people might say this to kids who are kind of rowdy or something probably doesn't work, probably makes them worse.

But yeah, this just means bring the energy down.

Yeah.

And this doesn't necessarily mean you were like rowdy and making noise.

It just means you were upset.
