That dead leg feeling is not fun. 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.559 Oh, and it starts to come back to life and 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:47.599 you're walking and it's like. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.000 Uh, listen, Mike D. Right now. I went to a 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.000 concert last night, So I currently have blisters in between 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.160 my big toil and my foot on both feet. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.640 I always have some kind of blister on my feet. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.600 There is Oh, it's so annoying. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.240 Like, yeah, I think annoyings more of the world, Like 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.080 they're painful when it first happens, and then you're just annoyed. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.080 It's because it's not like it doesn't hurt like a 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.959 real injury, but it's nagging enough to where it's just 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.560 like frustrating. Yeah, and you know, like it's a blister. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.720 Yeah, Like and I'm like, pop it? What do I do? Okay, 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:19.680 we're not gonna talk about that. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:20.800 Oh, don't pop it. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.120 I've been there before, Okay, I. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.440 I what is the number one movie you have watched 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.400 but we'll never watch again? Morgan? Which show Kins? 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:30.840 This is not me, by the way, It's not me 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:36.039 that I'll never watch again. For the longest time, it 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.880 was the first Joker movie, because when I saw that 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.199 in the theaters, I loved it, and I didn't want 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.800 to feel a different way about it. But I did 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.840 rewatch it before watching the sequel. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.240 Oh and how did you feel? The second time? 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.000 It was still just as good, But I still wish 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240 I didn't rewatch it. Really, it's not one of those 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.360 movies you go back and like, ah, yeah, this is 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.920 all It hits the same way. And it was also 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.440 one of those movies that a lot of people say 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.000 is overrated, and I didn't want to buy into people 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.800 that saying it was overrated. I was like, no, I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.120 watched it. I loved it. One of my favorite movies 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.119 of all time. Rewatching it, I'm like I could see 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.880 a little bit why some people didn't enjoy it. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.480 Really. Yeah, I had started it, and it's one of 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:16.919 the one movies I've never finished. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:17.640 Too dark. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.240 I think I wasn't in a place to watch it 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.440 because it was so dark, and I was like, it 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.920 wasn't because I didn't like it. I just was like, Okay, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.760 I need to come back to this at a different point. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.840 And then I just never went back to it. I 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.480 want to say. I was like forty minutes in and 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:32.320 I just stopped. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:33.160 Yeah. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.079 I think most movies that I don't want to rewatch 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.280 again are movies that people say are overrated. Like everything Everywhere, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.280 all at once was one that won a bunch of Oscars. Yeah, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.799 And whenever a movie gets a lot of attention like that, 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.280 the people who watch it because of all that attention, 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.079 they're like, it's overrated. And then I'm like, I don't 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.400 want to go back and feel what I didn't feel 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.080 the first time, and now that I've had this overrated 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.880 mentality going into it, yeah, you. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.800 Get a little jaden and it kind of excuse your 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.560 vision of what you experienced the first time. That's fair. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.640 Mark from Tampa. What are some of your favorite indie 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.120 movie theaters that you've been to? 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.840 Ooh, this is a great question. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.239 In Nashville, I love the Bellcourt, which is a nonprofit 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.480 and it's been here for like one hundred years, Okay, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.640 and that is if you come to Nashville and want 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.120 to see a movie, like, that's the place to go. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.040 I've never seen a bad movie there because they don't 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.280 traditionally carry like all the biggest movies, but they get 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.839 a lot of the smaller, more independent movies. Like I'm 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.160 really into foreign films and I go watch them there 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.240 and you can see movies in every language. So I 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.520 love supporting places like that. We became members there where 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.240 essentially you pay like a monthly or yearly thing just 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.960 to keep them afloat, and I'm like, cool, I'm a 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:49.480 member there. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:50.480 That is cool. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.120 So I love That's probably my favorite movie theater in 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.160 the entire country. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:56.320 I've been to. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.840 Other when I go and travel to other places and 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.800 I have time to watch a movie, I will seek 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.760 out independent theaters. Like when we're living in Los Angeles, 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.080 I went to a lot of movie theaters there that 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.880 were really cool and really small. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.520 So I try to seek those out. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.560 But as far as my favorite, it's definitely the one 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.560 here in Nashville. One of mine that was in LA 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.719 is since shut down, and I was pretty bummed about that, really, Yeah, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.560 because I mean it's it's hard for small theaters to 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.839 stay afloat, and when I go, I try to like 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.440 buy concessions and do the whole thing because that's how 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:29.239 they make their money. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.840 Yeah. I need to go to the Bell Court. I've 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.240 always seen. It's always so pretty and I've never been in. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:36.920 Yeah, and they do a lot of things where like 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.400 they'll have people come in, like Nicole Kidman is a 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.440 member there too, and she'll do events there all the time. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:42.520 Wild. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.159 Yeah. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.800 What movie would you never watch again? Even for money? 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.040 Nancy and Kinderhook, New York. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.400 I think I will never watch for His Gump again. Oh, 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.200 I think I've seen it too many times, Okay, And 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.760 I take I think it's a movie that it is 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.359 a lot of people's favorite movies so much so that 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.440 it's like built itself so much that it can't quite 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.599 possibly hold that reputation. And I also think we're kind 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.920 of aging out of that being the best movie of 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.320 all time. I think for the longest time it was 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.560 like in the nineties, early two thousands, but there's been 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.520 so many more great movies since, and I'm like, we 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.240 got to move past Forrest Gump to keep going in 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:25.799 the future. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.280 Yeah, that's true. When did Forrest Gump come out? 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.120 With the eighties or ninety nineteen ninety four, Okay, one 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.000 of the greatest years in film of all time. I'm 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.840 really like, I can pretty much tell you when any 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.760 movie came out. If it's a big movie name a 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.960 really obscure movie, that's harder for me. But as far 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.400 as like all the big movies, I can pretty much 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.640 identify the years just because I do a lot of 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.040 like Oscar history of like when things were nominated for 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.720 Best Picture, and ninety four just happens to be a 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.640 huge year where Forrest Gump came out, Shawshank, Redemption, Lion King, 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.680 Pulp Fiction, like all these, like Core these movies all 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:01.520 came out in one year. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.440 That's crazy that was making me think too. For you, 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.960 what is your favorite movie of all time, all time. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:09.080 All time? 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.320 For the longest time, it was The Dark Night from 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.360 two thousand and eight. 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.599 Such a good movie, and it's. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.800 So hard to not knock that one out because yes, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.000 it is a comic book movie, but it's so much 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.359 more than that, and it just kind of changed the 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.200 landscape of not only superhero movies, but of any movie 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.720 on that scale. And I just can't quite push that 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.599 one out of my number one slot because there have 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.680 been a lot of great things in the last five 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.479 years that I've really enjoyed, But I almost feel like 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.640 you need a good ten years to put your movie 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.280 as the best movie of all time. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:48.720 Yeah, that's true. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.640 And it's like the only movie I can continuously go 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.000 back and rewatch and still feel the same way about it. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.080 Like there's no overrating of that movie. If you it's 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.800 a movie that I feel, you can't watch and say 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.560 it's a bad movie. You can watch it and not 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.320 like it, and that's understandable, but you can't say that's 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.400 a bad movie. Yeah, and that's very rare. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.000 M H. I wonder what it has on Rotten Tomatoes. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:13.760 I've never looked. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.040 Let me see, I would assume at this point probably 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.239 like it's low ninety two. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.360 Yeah, like it got knocked from that one hundred percent. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.760 Sometimes when it has so many ratings, it dips down 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.080 a little bit. It is currently at a ninety four. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.200 So wow, that's insane. It is. I mean, Mike, that's 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.840 my second favorite movie of all time. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:34.640 What's the first? 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.760 You know, it's a ready player one, and I just 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.080 have such an attachment to that movie for some reason, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.960 Like when I just first watched it, I think it 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.080 brought all the genres that I love together, from sci 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.680 fi to virtual reality, to love to comedy, like it 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.360 just in pop culture. It was so blended of everything, 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.920 and when I just watched it, I had such a 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.000 cool experience that first time, and that's what I really 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.920 associate it with. And now still when I ever I 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.360 watch it, like if I see it on TV, I'm 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.720 putting it on. It's just so good. I get like 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.280 this enjoyment out of watching it. So something about that 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.920 is attached to that movie for me. I don't know why, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.040 but is that is my first one. 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.800 They're still like trying to make the sequel to that movie. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.720 It's like waiting for years. Oh that's the hard part 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.200 about whenever they announce these movies, Like I have three 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.560 movies I'm looking forward to and it's like it's all 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.400 three years out. I don't know if I could wait. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.280 Yeah, Like, well it actually happened, because like, what's gonna 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.920 happen in the world. Yeah, it's so tough. Should I 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.839 run in the Nashville or Memphis Marathon? Love you guys, 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.040 Stacey in Florida, Well. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:47.440 The Nashville one's coming up next weekend. Nashville is tough. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.040 I've done it twice. Nashville is a really tough terrain 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.080 because it's so hilly and the way the course is here. 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.119 You start downtown on Broadway and you start going downhill 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.440 and you feel like, oh, this is easy. I'm gonna 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.679 start running really quickly. I'm gonna crush this. But then 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.440 immediately you turn one corner and it's uphill for like 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.800 mile two to four, and it is brutal because you 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.800 feel yourself one because that's when you have the most 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.160 momentum when you first start. There's so many people cheering 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.280 you on on the side, and you feel pumped and 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.760 you start to over exert yourself. And that's where I struggle. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.040 That's why I'm not doing it again, really, because I 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.640 struggle with the buying into the hype of everything, and 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.839 by mile ten I've probably used way more energy than 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.640 I should have, and I usually bonk out around mile 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.360 twenty one, where it's like I'm I'm done. My legs 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.480 are doing things they don't normally do by not moving. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.560 They're jello complete at this point because a mile is 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:45.559 twenty six. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.720 Point five, twenty six point two, twenty six point two, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.360 and those point two you think it's not much, but 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.720 it ends on. Those last four miles are the hardest 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.880 four miles you'll ever do, so I would. I love 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.800 the Nashville one because you go through literally the entire city, 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.599 with starting downtown, going through like twelve South, which is 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:10.439 a touristy area, now going through literally the entire city, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.840 so you see everything. It's just a tough terrain, so 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.120 if you are prepared for that, if you don't hate 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.000 running hills, I think it's a great one. The other 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.120 marathon I did was in San Antonio, which is a 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.840 lot flatter. I feel like I could do a lot 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.400 better at that one now because it's not as crazy 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:30.560 as a terrain m hm. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:31.680 And also the. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.679 Weather here when they do it in April, it can 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.680 be hit or miss. It could be hot, it could 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.840 be cold, it could be raining. So it's like it's 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.480 not guaranteed if you're not used to running in different 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.480 elements that you're gonna get great weather that day. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.240 You know what, It's true. They like when I think 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.400 I've told you this story when I decided to pick 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.760 rollerblading back up because I had done it all the 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.480 time growing up in Kansas, Kansas's flat, enjoyed it. I 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.439 love to add rollerblade my neighborhood all the time, No 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.319 big deal. I try to roller relate in my neighborhood 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.560 here in Tennessee. And I broke my tailbotte than five 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.280 minutes because it's so hilly here. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.640 Yeah, it's very hilly, and. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.800 It's so unexpecting, like you don't realize it when you're 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.880 driving or even kind of walking. But man, if you're 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.200 doing any other activity besides those things, and. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.480 They're long, big hills where you're going uphill for a 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.160 long time. I have run in Memphis two before, and 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.880 it is more it's flatter there. But I ran by 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.520 the river and it was very muggy and humid. Okay, 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.959 so that was tough terrain as well as far as 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.840 like I would rather run hills than running in humidity 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.280 and just like because that gets me more because then 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.840 it just feels like I'm running with the sweater on 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.280 and it's like in my lungs. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.680 Yeah, so you gotta kind of pick your battle which 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.520 one you're able to run the best in. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.600 I would love to run the Chicago Marathon because that 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.080 course looks awesome, or the New York one because that 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.720 just that's crazy to see the distance it goes and 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.640 like how many cool things you can see m m. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.480 But I think it's harder to get into that one. 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.880 Yeah, don't you have to like win your way in. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.680 To I don't know if you have to qualify for 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.000 the New York one. I think it's very selective on 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.880 how you get in. Like the Boston one is really. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:12.160 Tough, Okay? 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.439 Is the Boston one like the hard one? 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.040 Boston is like the original marathon, like you have. I 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.079 think for my age group, I would have to qualify 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.440 by running a sub three hour marathon. Holy crap, and 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.760 my best time was a three thirty eight. I'm like, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:26.920 how would I shave off. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.880 Thirty Yeah, holy crap, how would I. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.440 Shave off thirty eight minutes just to qualify? And I 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.719 think you could have that time and still not get in, 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:36.400 So that one's really tough. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.600 That's insane. Also, both of them are insane, like that 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.000 that's a qualify, But also you run that many miles 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.839 in three hours and thirty minutes. I run one mile 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:46.920 like fifteen minutes. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.400 It's just crazy to see like the different paces where 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.040 you see somebody running like a six and a half 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.720 mile pace, like it doesn't look that much faster, but 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.640 when you like think they're doing that for a long 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.400 about time, how much it adds up. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:02.520 That's hard to do. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.080 Yeah, oh my gosh, that's crazy. Okay, I need to 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:13.360 go work out. We break, we'll be at d What 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.679 was the hardest part in the beginning of your weight 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.080 loss journey and what did you do to hold yourself accountable? 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:26.160 Joshua I would say the hardest part was the times 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.360 I'd failed before I try to go all in quickly 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.680 where it was like, Okay, I'm gonna stop eating sugar, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.040 I'm gonna stop eating all these things that are bad 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.400 for me. I'm gonna stop drinking beer and I'm gonna 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.960 start working out at the same time, and it caused 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.240 me to be miserable. So that hardest part was me 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.400 telling myself that it wasn't gonna be instant and I 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.880 think that's why I struggled so much, because I was like, Okay, 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.400 I'm gonna do this for two weeks and I need 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.480 to see results. It doesn't happen that way. It takes 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.120 at least a month for you to even feel better, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.520 and probably three months for you to even really notice 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:07.240 like a major difference, probably for to six months that 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.120 other people start to notice. And it's not Yeah, it's 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.080 not easy and it's not instantaneous, and I think that's 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.160 why a lot of people give up on it, because 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.560 you feel yourself working so hard every day, trying to 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.240 eat right, trying to exercise, and you're like, I'm not 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.240 seeing any results. It'd be easier just to go the 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.520 other way, which I failed many times by doing that. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.560 So I think the hardest part was getting over that 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.320 and telling myself that I have an ultimate goal that 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.520 I want to reach and I have to stop focusing 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.040 on looking at the scale all the time and feeling 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.840 like I'm not making progress and just. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:42.960 Look at the bigger picture. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.160 So for me, it was getting over that and just 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.200 finding little ways to improve myself instead of trying to 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.160 do all these major things all at once. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.720 Mm hmmm. That's really good advice, Mike, because gosh, that 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.680 bigger picture it's tough, especially when you like really just 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.920 want to feel better and do better. That's hard. 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.560 Yeah, And I think it's just telling yourself, like giving 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.040 yourself an ultimate goal that you're working towards and stop 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.520 thinking so much about like I need this to happen now. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.480 That's really good. How many miles you typically run in 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.920 a day, Tanya and Chicago, we kind of talked about it, But. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:20.280 In a day I run three times a week. I'll 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.080 do my long run on Sundays, which is usually in 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:24.200 the twenty mile range. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.680 You're wild, You're wild then, and then. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.600 When I run during the week the other two days, 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.640 I'll do like ninety minutes, and that's usually like ten 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.920 to eleven miles night. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.720 I'm done. I'm not even gonna try and put that 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.360 in my brain. That's insane, okay, but also awesome, Like 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.760 that's so cool that you can do that. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.880 So usually I hit like forty to forty two miles 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.440 a week is. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.080 Usually what I do. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.120 I don't even think I hit forty two miles walking. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.400 I don't think I get off my couch enough to 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:54.320 walk that far. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.680 And the way I see it is like I follow 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.520 other TikTokers who are like running influencers, and they like 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.080 run eighty miles, and I'm like, I do like half. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.520 Of that, So I think that's the whole perspective. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.200 That so like. So for you, you're like, oh, half. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.240 For me, I'm like none. You're like you're there because there. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.920 Are some people who are like real runners who run 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.560 every day and that's how you hit eighty miles a week. 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.480 I'm like, I couldn't. I couldn't do that like I 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.040 need to. I also get bored of doing the same 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.560 thing every day, so that's why I try to break 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.320 it up. Like I'll run, I'll do some weight training, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.520 which is an also big part of running, of like 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.240 strengthening your legs, which I think is important to avoid injury. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.440 So I had to go back and forth between doing 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.320 different things otherwise I'll get bored. I couldn't run every day, 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:38.200 I'd go crazy. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.400 Listen, this is also why I had your your back 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.040 in the fight, Like every underestimating I was like, no, 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:45.680 I've seen my dear at the gym. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.000 I think that's the thing for me is like when 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.360 it comes to anything, whether it's lifting weights, whether it's running, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.640 whether it's like some boxing that I do, Like, I'm 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.320 not going to be the best at it, but I'm 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.000 going to be the one who keeps showing up and 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.560 is relentless about it. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.840 And that is a huge important part to be able 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.240 to find a battle. So I had your back. Nobody 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.280 believe me though, and then I had to ultimately choose 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.879 Bobby Siver. Sorry, but I did. 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:12.280 Have you back. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.480 Everybody else didn't listen to me. They're like, now, Mike, 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.199 I was like, yeah, I know. If you had to 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.680 work with someone else from the show the way you 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.280 work with Bobby, who would you pick? 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:27.680 Hmmm. I think it would be you. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:29.800 I figured. 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.000 I feel like you and I have very similar work style. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:36.120 We're so similar in the way that we know how 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.440 to accomplish the goal. I think we approach things very similarly. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:45.600 I think also we're both so structured in the area of. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.440 Multitasking mm hmmm. 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.560 Or I think if there was a draft of who 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.280 to take from the show. I think I would take you. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.280 You would be my first victor. Mike, Like I was 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.640 thinking about that with that question. I was like, yeah, 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.600 it would be Mike, like we just we get a 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.320 lot done. You and I together would be like if 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.440 we have the same thing that we have to accomplish, 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.240 like you give us a barometer of like ten tasks 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.800 against other people, Mike and I would dominate. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.679
