After I sent out the podcast, my sister-in-law posted a picture of Benjamin with some friends in our family group on Whatsapp, and she said he looked thinner.

Also, in the evening, I watched an episode of an old series called Monk. Monk did not believe his “friend” had climbed a building, and this was the conversation:
Monk: So, Frisco Fly*; huh? Hmm-hmm.
You looked surprised.
I am surprised.** Here’s the thing I can’t figure out. You look surprised, too.
It’s killing you; isn’t it?
How did you do it, Harold?
@>—- you looked surprised – você parece surpreso
@>—- Here’s the thing – É isso que [literalmente, Aqui está a coisa (que)]
@>—- I can’t figure out – eu não consigo descobrir/entender
@>—- It’s killing you. – Isso está matando você.
* Frisco Fly was an unknown daredevil in the episode who climbed buildings and escaped from the police. Monk didn’t believe Harold was the real Frisco Fly.
** Notice the emphasis on the “am” (verb to be).
@>—- unknown – desconhecido
@>—- daredevil – “destemido” [pessoa que adora correr riscos e se aventurar em atividades perigosas]
@>—- climbed buildings – escalava edifícios
@>—- Monk didn’t believe Harold was the real Frisco Fly. – Monk não acreditava que Harold fosse o verdadeiro Frisco Fly.

@>—- Você viu como essas estruturas são importantes!
I hope you have a great weekend! Talk to you next week!
