In episode 100 of I Hate Talking, the hosts mark their milestone with a reflection on time—how quickly it passes and how much life has changed since they started the podcast. The word of the episode is the Latin phrase “tempus fugit” (“time flies”), which they unpack as more than a cliché, leaning into the nuance that time not only passes quickly but flees irretrievably, never to be recovered. That naturally opens a conversation about nostalgia: looking back on early parenting years, nightly living‑room dance parties, and how memory tends to preserve the sweetest moments while softening the hard ones.
They then pivot to a recent family trip to a different Great Wolf Lodge, comparing it with their earlier visit. With older, more independent kids, the experience feels markedly different—less hands‑on supervising and more watching their children race down slides, tackle the wave pool, and master the FlowRider boogie‑board simulator. They note small design differences in the waterpark (a slower lazy river feeding from slide tubes, fewer extreme body slides) and talk about fear of heights, minor injuries, and the confidence they have in Great Wolf Lodge’s highly attentive lifeguards. The episode closes with a brief count of how many lodges exist across North America and a lighthearted nod to exponential growth if every listener shared the show with “just one other person,” underscoring the theme that time flies—but they’re grateful for how they’ve spent it together so far.
