1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, and welcome back to Wide Open. We have

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: a great show for you today. I'm so excited to

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: be back and with you all again. Today our episode

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: is with Cody Rigsby, and this brings me great joy

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: because I actually spent my entire COVID lockdown on Peloton,

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: and then I loved it so much that I got

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: the Peloton Trett. So I'm a like active, active Peloton

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: enthusiast and writer, and I love supporting what they have

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: done over there and really captivated this new era of movement.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't think people really know.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: How impactful they were during COVID to make you not

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: feel alone. I just remember, you know, being in lockdown

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: and getting on my peloton and seeing thousands of people

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: in live sessions, and it felt important at the time,

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: as like interaction completely stopped and your ability to hang

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: out with your friends, hang out, you know, soccer completely stopped.

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: Everything went into a bubble.

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: So it was nice to have that sense of community

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: in a time that was really scary and so.

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: Much was unknown.

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: The way they were able to show up and keep

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: serving like this active community to really help people feel

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: not alone.

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: I think that was a really really major.

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: Impact on my overall mental health and well being during

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: during COVID, so I greatly appreciate what they've done and

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: how they've chosen to show up over and over and

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: over again, especially when the world needed it the most.

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of all the Peloton instructors, so

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: without fur their ado, let's bring in Cody Rigsby. Today's

31
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: guest is someone who brings the heat on the.

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Bike and in life.

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm sitting down with Cody Rigsby, one of the original

34
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Peloton instructors.

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: And a person who is completely.

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: Redefined what fitness, confidence and showing up as your full.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Self can look like.

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: We talk about heated rivalry, the power of being openly

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: queer in a very public space, and the unlikely path

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: that led him from a background and danced to a

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: career that changed his life and honestly changed the way

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: a lot of us move and.

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: See ourselves in the world after COVID.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: This conversation is light, fun and full of laughter, but

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: also gets real about identity, ambition and what happens when

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: you finally step into who you are without apologizing. Whether

47
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you've taken his class or just love a good conversation.

Speaker 3: further than what everyone expected.

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,480

160
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: last time I will ever be standing dancing with you

161
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: without being clipped in because I couldn't walk for a week.

162
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: That's why. You know. There are directions on the bike,

163
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: but you know when you take garde approach and you

164
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: get slapped in the Kuchi vice.

165
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: It really did. And let me tell you, people were like,

166
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,760

00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,239
Speaker 3: Tell me about the start of you being an instructor,

169
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: wanting to do this like whole Peloton journey before it

170
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: became a sexy thing because like you're one of the OG's,

171
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: one of the os.

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been there. I into my math now I

173
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: think I'm going into while going into twelve years April

174
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: will be like I got hired in twelve years ago,

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 4: which is crazy that like over a decade in my life,

176
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 4: I've been there and this has been my life for

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: such a long time, longest job job I've ever kept.

178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, I always it's kind of my

179
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: like origin story. It's my first Marvel movie when we

180
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: talk about this. I started off as a professional dancer,

181
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 4: so that's why I moved to the city. That kind

182
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: of got just wasn't fulfilling. I wasn't really making money.

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: I could see all my friends making money and like

184
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 4: starting these lives, and I was just like broke and

185
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: CouchSurfing and like figuring it out, and that just got old,

186
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: and so I didn't even know I really wanted to

187
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 4: do fitness. It was kind of the intervention of the

188
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: higher beings that said like, we're gonna throw this in

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 4: your lap. So I was working at The Box, which

190
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: is a salacious club in the Lower East Side with

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: a very interesting burlesque show. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm too

192
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: old for it now, but you know, back in my twenties,

193
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: it was a lot of fun. Yeah, And I was

194
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: just working there and the director sent me an email

195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: being like, Hey, my friend from college is working for

196
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: this company called Helton. They're looking for performers that want

197
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: they called it performer performers like dancers, actors, whatever, And

198
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 4: they were like, do you want this job? And I

199
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, do you want to like apply for

Speaker 4: my resume. You know, got a call back within a

202
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,160

Speaker 3: ass as fat ass and then yeah I got the job,

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: and I like didn't know what the hell I was doing.

207
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: I had to really figure it. I was just like

208
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: trying to make it work. I almost got fired even

209
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: in the training process. It was a miscommunication because when

210
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: the person was training me was like, oh, go take

211
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: some classes other places. And I was like, okay, great,

212
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: so I can like understand. And then her boss was like,

213
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: we haven't seen you in the studio. What's going on?

214
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: Like are you are you able to do this job?

215
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: But are you committed? I was like whoa. At first

216
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: I wanted to pop off like yeah, part my last email,

217
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 4: but then I took a breath and said, don't get

218
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: yourself in trouble, don't dig yourself deeper. And yeah. So

219
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: I've been here for almost twelve years. It's completely changed

220
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: my life and it's been a I don't know, a

221
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: great journey, like it really has allowed me to find

222
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: purpose and have a lot of fun.

223
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: It is a lot of fun.

224
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun.

225
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: But you actually are you?

226
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: Like and not like I know you and I know

228
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: what you're like outside of like the camera, but like

229
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: your energy and the way you show up. You don't

230
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: hide like your queerness. You are you just fucking fly

231
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: off the rails. Yeah, for sure, And I love it.

232
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: I appreciate it because.

233
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: If you're too serious, miss me with it. If I

234
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: have to be like this fucking instructor is so annoying,

235
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: Like if I'm having fun and working out, I'm coming

236
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: back well, I like.

237
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: To be self deprecating. I also like, don't buy into

238
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,359
Speaker 4: like the toxic positive are always things are great and wonderall.

239
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: Don't give me positive patty when I'm suffering.

240
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: I like, I working out can suck. It sucks, it

241
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: can suck. Like let's just be honest, but like you

242
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: gotta do your workout, you gotta drink your water, you

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: gotta eat your vegetables, you gotta go bed on time.

244
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: I love it, and so like let's be honest about that.

245
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 4: And I think like the part of like, yes, I've

246
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: moved into a space, especially post twenty twenty, where I

247
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: was like really am myself. But it took me like

248
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: four or five years to really understand who I was

249
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 4: in that theater. I didn't really know what I was doing.

250
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: So I had to like figure out how to really

251
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: like teach a great class. And then that part was easy.

252
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: It was like really finding the courage to just be myself.

253
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: I think I saw a lot of people in the

254
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: fitness space or even some of my colleagues, and I

255
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I need to replicate that. So I

256
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: need to be a little bit more of the positive

257
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: and like show that I'm this like badass trainer and

258
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 4: then like that didn't really resonate, and once I kind

259
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: of lean into a little bit more of who I

260
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: am with my friends, who's like a little bit bitchy, Yeah,

261
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: a little bit, you know, like c yeah, reading the

262
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: girls and talking about pop culture, which is something that

263
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: I absolutely wore, like that's what people resonate and almost

264
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: made it feel like I turn this work out into

265
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: more of like a talk show or a podcast, and like, yeah,

266
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: I think that's what people resonate with. And yeah, I

267
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: think that's where like hit down my success.

268
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it doesn't feel like work No, maybe for you,

269
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: but not for us.

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 4: Yea yeah, yeah no, even me. It's like it's weird,

271
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: Like we're just talking about like the just coming back

272
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 4: from New Years went on vacation. Now it's been like

273
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: ten days in and I'm like exhausted, My everything hurts.

274
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: But the minute I go to the studio and I

275
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 4: get in front of the bike and the lights and the

276
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: cameras come on, like that all just like washes away,

277
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: and I'm like reminded of how much I like love

278
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: my job. And I've been there twelve years, like we said,

279
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I don't know how much longer. I have,

280
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: definitely a few more years.

281
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: But it's like, don't age out, don't age I'm not I'm.

282
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: Not even doing that. It's just like it whenever that

283
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 4: day comes, it's an acceptance of like that's not going

284
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 4: to be there forever. Yeah, maybe you felt that way

285
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: about sport. It's like I don't want to like savor

286
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: it and not and like, yes, it can be annoying

287
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: or the job can be like taxing on the body,

288
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 4: and like there's those weeks where you just want to

289
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: like scream, but like at the end of the day,

290
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: it's still fun. I'm still passionate about I still love it,

291
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: and like I don't want to take this moment for

292
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: granted for when it's not in my life.

293
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I respect that. I appreciate that. And I will

294
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: say this, like, and I don't know if Pelton has

295
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: like had this type of feedback. The group of performers, actors,

296
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: instructors look a certain type of way, very fit, very young,

297
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: very put together. But also like there are a lot

298
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: of people that are working out who don't look like that.

299
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: So I do think it is I think it would

300
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: be so cool to have older instructors doing the walking

301
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: classes and like really being able to resonate with like

302
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: that older group. And you know, it's like a lot

303
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: of those classes sometimes are really just like high energy,

304
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: high motivation, and it's like my body fucking hurts and

305
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm forty. Imagine a seventy five year old person doing it. Sure,

306
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: So I do think that would be so sex a

307
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: fucking sexy. I want a salt and pepper Daddy classes.

308
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: Daddy era. I will fit that name.

309
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: I need that though. I want to see sexy daddy

310
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: vibes in my older because I'm an older gallon.

311
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

312
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: I like the older men. So you're still under the forty.

313
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: A few more grays, I've already got them starting coming

314
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: on the side and mustache really little bit. Yeah, and

315
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: I'm not afraid of them, but I need to let.

316
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: Them like blonders, bring them in so I don't have

317
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: to pay the premium. So who was Cody as like

318
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: a kid? Were you always a dancer? Were you did

319
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: you always know you were queer? Did you know, like

320
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: tell me about who can what he was as a

321
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: young boy?

322
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's I think there was always

323
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 4: that little twinkling in my eye and a little sugar

324
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: in my tank. I mean, you're not You're sometimes not

325
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: even the first person to recognize that. Other people recognize that.

326
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: So that's you know, when I was in elementary school

327
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: or middle school, people to me like, why do you

328
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: act like a girl, And it's like then once the

329
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: kids figured out what gay was, It's like you're gay,

330
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: you know, stuff like that, and I'm like no, but

331
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: like yeah, of course. So I think there was always

332
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: that and I was always kind of like a ham

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: and loved attention. So whether that was just like being

334
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: silly or goofy or making jokes and that that was

335
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: kind of my my lane. And then once I got

336
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: into like high school, middle school, I was like, you know,

337
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: in theater, in show choir and the older Yeah. Yeah,

338
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: so that's kind of what got me into being a dancer.

339
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: It's like there's a certain age, probably like around the

340
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: TRL era of life, where I'd be going home watching

341
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: music videos with Britney Spears and in sync and like

342
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 4: I would learn those dances on the TV and I

343
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: would like replicate them, but we were kind of too broke,

344
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: so I was like, mom, I want to take dance classes,

345
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: and like we couldn't even afford it, you know, so

346
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: it didn't even Yeah it's expensive. So I'm glad that

347
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: I got to do that later in life and fulfill

348
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: that dream. But yeah, I definitely was always like eccentric

349
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: and out there and silly and definitely could see that

350
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: queerness in me. I mean, you know, I don't know

351
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: if this is tm I, but like I had crushes

352
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: on boys when I was little, but I also remember

353
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: like fooling around with a neighborhood boy and being very

354
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 4: like exploratory when I was a very young age.

355
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: And like you were like, oh I really liked that, Yeah.

356
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 4: Exactly, so you know it's really nice, uh huh.

357
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

358
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 4: So that's always kind of been there, and I don't know,

359
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 4: it's like part of queerness has always been something I've

360
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: leaned into once I've had a platform like not hiding

361
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: that because I think some of the most touching stories

362
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: that Peloton members have brought to me are you know,

363
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: coming out stories where like they found the courage to

364
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 4: do so after seeing you know, their parents loving to

365
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: take my class or they took my class. I even

366
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 4: had like a friend who lived here in New York

367
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: and I think we're at a Pride party once and

368
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: we were just dancing and he's like, you know, I

369
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: want to thank you. And I was like what what, why,

370
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 4: what's going on? What happened? And he's like, oh, my

371
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: mom and my sister take your class. And because they've

372
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 4: become such fans of you, there's so much more open

373
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 4: to me being gay. I mean, these are these people

374
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: like in backwoods Louisiana, so like they developed this relationship

375
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: with me, therefore like started to open their eyes and

376
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 4: create a better relationship with you know, my friend who's

377
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: their son and brother, and so yeah, I think it's

378
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 4: that's where coming back to the heated rivalry conversation, like

379
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: the representation does matter.

380
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: And I saw I just saw a clip that Sharon Stone,

381
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: which is like mother, I mean, come on, like she

382
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: is a goddess. And she got up and was like,

383
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: fame is nothing without activism, Like, if you are given

384
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 3: this platform, it is your job to speak on the

385
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: things that matter and represent what change looks like, making

386
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: this world a better place, making it a more inclusive place,

387
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: making it a more equitable place. And I thought it

388
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: was such a powerful thing she said, because it is true,

389
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: and people don't understand the weight of fame. But there's

390
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: no power in fame if you don't use it for good.

391
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: And my humble opinion, I think because we just you know,

392
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: when we have microphones in our mouth all the time,

393
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 3: we have the camera in our face, we have the

394
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: opportunity to be seen, to open people's eyes up to

395
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: an experience they may not accept or have never been,

396
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: like had to unpack, let's just say. And there's a

397
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: lot that comes with that. And I'm curious if you know,

398
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: you have so many people who really see themselves in

399
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: you do you feel that or you're kind of like,

400
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: I just show up, do my job.

401
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: No, No, Like I that has been super important to me.

402
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 4: And once I found my voice and got the feedback

403
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: that it was being impactful, I definitely like leaned in

404
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: into it even more. Even like when I was on

405
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: Dancing with the Stars, like I really tried to kind

406
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 4: of infuse lot of that this like mainstream American television

407
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: program with a little bit of queerness, you know, Like

408
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: my finale was super gay. I was like in a

409
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 4: rainbow jumps here.

410
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: I love it.

411
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: You know. I talked about my ex when I was

412
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 4: on there. In our relationship, I talk about, you know,

413
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 4: losing a best friend. That was like a very you know,

414
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: platonic but queer relationship. Uh chose Kim Petra songs to

415
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: dance too, you know, and like that was really important

416
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 4: to me. And maybe it's not so in your face,

417
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: but it is kind of these like subtle storylines that

418
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: really like allow people to see themselves in the content

419
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 4: that they're watching, and I try to do that.

420
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: Stay tuned. I'll be back in just a moment after

421
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: this brief message from our sponsors. How was that experience?

422
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: How was Dancing with the Stars, because, like, you know,

423
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: you loved dancing so much, and I imagine that everyone watches.

424
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: It's a huge it's a huge.

425
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 4: You've I've been on it.

426
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: It's a huge now, yeah, number one show on So

427
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: like what was that like, because you know you said

428
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: this at the top of the show. You were like,

429
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: you know, I was hitting couch couch trying, and first off,

430
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: you minimized it. You were dancing with Katy Perry at

431
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: one point like to do not hit me with it?

432
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: I never like that's a big deal, not great, like

433
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: maybe monetizing it. I mean I was a female soccer player,

434
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 3: but I know all about not getting paid. She was

435
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: out there slaying those streets. I was like endorsement, Oh please,

436
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm hungry. But like, I imagine going from a place like

437
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: where you were really hopeful, like you moved to New York.

438
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: You wanted this dream you to being on Dancing with

439
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: the Stars to having that type of platform. Maybe in

440
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: a different way, maybe you got there a different way,

441
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: But do you ever think about, like, WHOA, this is

442
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 3: so cool. This is kind of what I've always wanted.

443
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: And then to be yourself and to be true to

444
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: who you are on that show, I imagine is like do

445
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: you think back and you're like, damn, that is so

446
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: fucking cool.

447
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to kind of approach it in a

448
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 4: little little segment away, I think, you know, I think

449
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: listening to Stars twenty twenty one, I think that's what

450
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: it was. So like Peloton has like gone through this

451
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: massive explosion in COVID twenty twenty twenty, and then twenty

452
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: twenty one, I'm and Dancing with the Stars, and my

453
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 4: life was moving so quick and just so many things

454
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: were coming at me all at once, and I was

455
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: just trying to keep my head above water. And I

456
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: think one of the things about Dancing with the Stars

457
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: that I if I have like regret or just like

458
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 4: wish that I would have done better, was able to

459
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 4: kind of like sit with it and appreciate it and

460
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: savor it a little bit more instead of being worried

461
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: about the dance stamps and next week and you know,

462
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 4: getting far and all these sort of things. And I

463
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: wish I was able to savor it a little bit more.

464
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: And now that I've had a place in my career

465
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: where yes, I'm still busy, but I've purposefully and intentionally

466
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: set a little bit more boundaries and allow myself to

467
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 4: have a little bit more free space. And whether that's

468
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: you know, having fun or actually going within, I do

469
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 4: get to kind of like tap into that and be like, wow,

470
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 4: that was an amazing thing that I did that like

471
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 4: little Cody would be so excited about, you know, like, yeah,

472
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 4: I started watching Britney Spears videos on the TRL, but

473
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 4: then now got to go on a national television program

474
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 4: and like use that skill as a dancer to you know,

475
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 4: not only have fun, make money and build a platform.

476
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: So it's like so great and like not to like

477
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 4: maybe be a little bit cheeky about it, like I

478
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: just did a brand new with Taco Bell, and I'm like,

479
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: but for me, like, that's so exciting because like I've

480
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 4: loved Taco Bell since I was a little kid, and

481
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 4: so like even my best friend growing up she text me,

482
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: She's like, oh my god, little Coddy would be so proud.

483
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 4: And I'm like, you're not. You're right, bitch, You're right,

484
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: you know.

485
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: Oh that's so sweet, it really is. And it's like

486
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: such a beautiful story. And have you you talk about

487
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 3: Britney Spears a lot, because we know you love her.

488
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 4: I love me some Brittany.

489
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: Has she taken a class or have you or have

490
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: you met her?

491
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 4: I have not met her. I don't know if she's

492
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: come on great usage of that, usage of that, I

493
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: don't know. You know. My philosophy now is just like

494
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: leave Brittany alone. Let Brittany do Brittany. Just I want

495
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 4: her to, like whatever she wants to do or needs

496
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 4: to do, like do it over there. And I'm not

497
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 4: going to scrutinize it, because like, if you were under

498
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 4: the constraints of your father for over a decade, I

499
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: think you would just be reacting completely different.

500
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: We all did that to her.

501
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 4: No, we are. We are culpable as much as I'm

502
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: aving like, we are also culpable for the pressure that

503
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: we So I hope she's just in her of living

504
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: life and being as chaotic as she wants to be.

505
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 3: She's alone, she deserves that, she deserves that freedom. Yes,

506
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: what is it like when you're taking a class? Who

507
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: has been the biggest like shocker that pops up like

508
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 3: a name, celebrity, someone you admire? What has been been

509
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 3: the biggest like person that popped up name wise where

510
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: you're like, holy shit, this person's taking my class.

511
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: Okay, So I I don't like have visibility from like

512
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: who's taking the class with me in that moment and like,

513
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: well they give all those shout out I know, but

514
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 4: they're just random names there. I think the PR team

515
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: does have probably access to like celebrities who have it,

516
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: But I've never been like told like that. But I will.

517
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 4: I will share with you a story that's like actually

518
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: want to like the probably the second or third greatest

519
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: moment of my life. So probably a year ago, a

520
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 4: year and a half ago, I was in these village

521
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: going to record my podcast Tackle Pettiness. That is a

522
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: shameless plug.

523
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna at all.

524
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 4: So I was going to record my podcast and I

525
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: was city biking down to the East Village and originally

526
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: I had an appointment, but that appointment canceled last minute,

527
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: so I redirected to go down to the Lower east

528
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 4: Side a little bit earlier than expected. Yeah, and this

529
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: is why it feels a little serendipitous and like a

530
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 4: little bit divine intervention. I'm like parking my city bike

531
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 4: and I'm looking down at the bike and I look

532
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 4: up and in front of me is Rue Paul and

533
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 4: his husband, and I'm like the biggest fan of RuPaul.

534
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: I look up to RuPaul, I think, like just I

535
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 4: admire it so much, and him and his husband deliberately

536
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: I came out in front of me and I was like,

537
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 4: we've been wanting to meet you for a really long time.

538
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: And I said me no, like I had an out

539
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 4: of body experience, and he was just like he was

540
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 4: just so giving of like love and admiration and like

541
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: it's essentially like affirming like I'm in the right Like

542
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: you're in the right place, You're doing exactly what you do.

543
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: You have impact. Like to hear that from Rue Paul

544
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: like blew my mind. And he only knows that because

545
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: he and his husband take my class and I've seen

546
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: like the Arc Digest where they're in his home and

547
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 4: I've saw I've seen the peltson like in his like

548
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: closet or bathroom or whatever it is. So that was

549
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 4: like such a big moment for me and I I yeah,

550
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 4: I even made Rue laugh. So that was like a

551
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: double for me.

552
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: You should have been like have me on your show.

553
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: I know, I you know. I wanted to be respectful

554
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: and just like enjoy the moment. I didn't even ask

555
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 4: for a picture. I was just like, you know what,

556
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 4: I'm going to savor this moment for the rest of

557
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: my life. So yeah, so that was that was really incredible.

558
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: It's like those small moments where you're just like, wow,

559
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: someone pinched me.

560
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, epic for sure, And.

561
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: I love when it comes so unexpected and it's very sweet.

562
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: What would you say, like you're what, what how do

563
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: you feel in terms of like in your body as

564
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 3: a gay man? An instructor, like, what how do you

565
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: keep your body fit? How do you feel within your body?

566
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: Like has it have you ever had body type issues?

567
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: Which is like all of us. Yeah, struggle with it.

568
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a little bit of a delicate subject

569
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: because it's like, I guess like the average person or

570
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: whatever would look us, look at both of us and

571
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: be like girl quick playing, like you're both athletes, Like

572
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: you look great, blah blah blah. True, very true. Doesn't

573
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: mean that there aren't those days or those seasons that

574
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 4: you don't feel good about yourself. We're just talking like

575
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: I drink for two weeks straight during the week during

576
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: the holidays. I don't want to touch alcohol right now.

577
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: But I also came back from a vacation I being like,

578
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: oh my god, I do not like the way I look.

579
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 4: I don't like the way that I feel like uncomfortable.

580
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 4: And you know that that has been something that has

581
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: transpired my entire life. I mean, I think definitely being

582
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: a gay man, you're inundated with images of certain you know,

583
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: body types and looking and it's also like.

584
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: Walking like a beefcake.

585
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like those sort of things are idolized. And

586
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: it also like living in New York City, I'm so

587
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: aware of it. Also, just like by you social currency

588
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: and it has like this power, fortunately or unfortunately so

589
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: there's just like that constant pressure. I think over the

590
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 4: past few years, I've allowed myself to have seasonality of like, Okay,

591
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 4: it's September through December, and I'm not going to be

592
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: so worried about the way that I look what I'm

593
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: eating all these sort of things, Like I'm going to

594
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 4: kind of like let it go a little bit where

595
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: I'm not so hard in giving and giving myself all

596
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: these sort of things. And then you know, right right

597
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: now is a work hard area. I'm like checking my

598
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 4: macro is like, yeah, you know you're in now, but

599
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 4: not from a place that feels like punishment or anything

600
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 4: like that, Like it is a place that, like I

601
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: enjoy this.

602
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: That's what I wanted to ask, like that punishment piece,

603
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: because I do think it is the start of a

604
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 3: new year. Everyone has new expectations and goals a majority

605
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: of it right now, especially culturally. Everyone's getting thin. We're

606
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: back into that again, right So it's like, how can

607
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: I do less and look better? And all of these

608
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: you know things are popping off with GLP ones and

609
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: this and that, and everyone's getting super skinny. Everyone looks

610
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: alike again, Yeah, does that impact the business? Does that

611
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 3: impact you know, the numbers that you're seeing on peloton peloton.

612
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 4: Or not at all, you know, Like I try not

613
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: to I'm not I'm not going to uh tell anybody

614
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: what to not put in that like in their body.

615
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: If you want to do a GBO one like go

616
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: go for go for it. Like if your doctor is

617
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: saying that, you're like, go for it, and I could

618
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 4: care less. U. I think you can kind of look

619
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: at a little bit of positivity in that. It's like, Okay,

620
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: if this is gonna be a jump start for some

621
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: people to actually like care about their wellness, like maybe

622
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: that's the thing that's been missing in their formula that

623
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: makes them see results and therefore taps more into fitness

624
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: or watching what they eat or whatever. So there is

625
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: a positive positive side of that. There's a yeah. So

626
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't, you know, I think everyone's like

627
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: protein crazed right now, and like the same that's good

628
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: for my business because I'm in wellness and then like

629
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 4: a lot of brands want to work with me because

630
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 4: like you know, protein's a big thing to push into

631
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: that space. So I you know, I don't I don't

632
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: necessarily see it as a bad thing. I'm sure there's

633
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 4: plenty of people wh would argue over that, and I

634
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: don't believe in policing anybody or telling what they want

635
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: to do, but I will say this, I hope that

636
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: it's not necessarily like a shortcut. Not that I'm like

637
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: judging you for it, but that creating habits that make

638
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 4: you feel good, that make you feel strong, that make

639
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: you feel accomplished, like that does come from a little

640
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 4: bit of discipline doing the same thing over and over again,

641
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 4: whether it's working or eating right. And it's just like

642
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: finding that and I just find a lot of like

643
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 4: pride or purpose in figuring that out myself. And it's

644
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: always changing.

645
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: I think that's the thing people have to understand, is

646
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: it's a pross. Yeah, And I think we jump started

647
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: so quickly in twenty twenty six and we make ourselves

648
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: suffer and they don't become habits. They're just quick, like

649
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this for three weeks and then

650
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: I'm over it. And I think consistency is so key

651
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: and that's what creates good habits. And I think wellness

652
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: right now is really popping off and it's good. It's

653
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: a good thing. And I hope people still want to

654
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: be active, and I hope people still want to get

655
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 3: in the gym. And what does your routine look like

656
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: to take care of your body? Like are you working

657
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 3: out more or you just do your class and then

658
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 3: you're done for the day. You're like you're like full.

659
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean in just going back a little bit.

660
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 4: Like even right now, something that I've kind of like

661
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: maybe even like struggled with is really finding the right

662
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: cadence and the right habit of nutrition. And I feel

663
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: like that's something that I'm exploring right now. And I'm

664
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 4: having a lot of like fun with like just cooking

665
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: more of my meal. Like I'm obsessed with a ninja creamy.

666
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: I keep making like protein ice cream like every night.

667
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 4: But it's like my little sweet treat that I like,

668
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: absolutely love. So that's something that I'm focused on right now.

669
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 4: As far as my workouts, I don't I wouldn't even say,

670
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 4: like I probably strength train on my own three to

671
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 4: four days a week outside of peloton, and then you know,

672
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 4: I'm very conditioned to being on the bike, so I

673
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: try to find one or two other ways of doing

674
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 4: cardio or conditioning. I'll jump on the peloton, tread that

675
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 4: I have at my house a lot, like I love

676
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: like a twenty minute hit run with Olivia, or like

677
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: a hike. It's just because it's a different way of

678
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 4: training my body that I'm not so used to doing,

679
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 4: and also hyper focus on recovery more so in the

680
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: sense of like sleep is important, Like I I go

681
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 4: to bed, Like I go to bed, I'm a usual

682
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 4: hour and I aspire to be nine thirty. I'm like

683
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 4: in the bed at ten thirty. Same like, don't invite

684
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: me to a late dinner please, I want to be

685
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: I want to be at a dinner by six, okay

686
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 4: and home by eight.

687
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: And I just happened last night. My girls were like, Hey,

688
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: do you want to do dinner at six thirty seven.

689
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,959
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I don't.

690
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 4: That's a little late.

691
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 3: But I'll be there at four thirty and I'd like

692
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,520

694
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 3: will be in my sheets by nine thirty. Thank you

695
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: so much, beautiful, And that was my nice life.

696
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: So go to bed is what I'm trying to tell

697
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: you people, is a big part of recovery. And I

698
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: love a sauna. I love a cold plunge, I am.

699
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: I love one of those. The sauna is something that's

700
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: actually more challenging for me than the cold plunge. But

701
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: the sauna feels so good, like your skin feels so

702
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: good afterwards. Also has really been helpful of going making

703
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 4: me go to sleep really yeah, because I'll go to

704
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: do asana for like twenty or thirty minutes, kind of

705
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: like in intervals, and by the time I've done that

706
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: taking a shower, I'm exhausted that. I'm like, do you

707
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 4: have a.

708
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: Pun and a sauna in your place here? I don't

709
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: have that, Okay.

710
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: I wish I could maybe fit a song on my terrace,

711
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 4: the cold punch on. I don't. I don't trust the

712
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: water of it all. But we'll see, Okay. No, I

713
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: usually go to a few different places in the city.

714
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 4: There's bathhouse, there's other ship.

715
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

716
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: I yeah, I really enjoy that. So something I try

717
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: to do once a week. I me and my boyfriend

718
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 4: do it, yeah frequently too. It's like one of our

719
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: little date rituals.

720
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 3: I think it's great and I've heard so many great benefits,

721
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: especially from the sauna, So I'm like gonna get on

722
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: that train soon. I just haven't made the purchase yet,

723
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: like it's becoming so popular or you live.

724
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to do something like that, not

725
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 4: easily accessible.

726
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, so we'll get Well, you get your TV girl,

727
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 3: I do, honey, That's all that matters. That is so funny,

728
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: that story. I was telling Cody that it was going

729
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: to snow for Christmas, and I was like, oh my god,

730
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: we're all going to be stuck inside. So Mama Bear

731
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: was like, let's have an experience. Bought a four wheeler

732
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 3: to pull everyone behind on snow tubes. That's the holiday

733
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: story y'all missed down on sounds.

734
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: Like a blast the hold are your kids?

735
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Three and four? They had the My son he just

736
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: was just like mouth open, like he thinks it's a

737
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 3: monster truck. He keeps calling it a monster truck. I

738
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: won't go on the monster yes, And he has this

739
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 3: deep deep voice. I'm like, okay, honey.

740
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 4: Have been to a Monster Struck show?

741
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: No, but I have to take him.

742
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 4: But I'm when I was a kid, so much fun,

743
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 4: except for like the thing is, I went to see

744
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 4: them at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina when I

745
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 4: was a kid, and I know, but like the whole

746
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: arena just you're like the whole time. No, like there's

747
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: a gasoline in the air everywhere, like you just smell it.

748
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: It's so crazy they've changed things. But when I was

749
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 4: growing up in North Carolina, if I.

750
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 3: Take my son between me being so gay looking and

751
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: my son being black, can you imagine us had a

752
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: monster truck southern with killbillies, Like we are going to

753
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: stick out like a sore thumb, probably fucking maga shit everywhere.

754
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: It's maybe a nightmare. So we haven't done that yet,

755
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: but sounds like a great experience. Can't wait. Hopefully they

756
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: bring it to Brooklyn or someplace a little more inclusive.

757
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, like how far north a monster truck showed.

758
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it comes this far. But mama

759
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: has a new monster truck so he doesn't even have

760
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 3: to worry about it. He literally every two seconds now

761
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 3: is like I want to go on. Like my son

762
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 3: has a really deep voice for a three year old,

763
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: so he's like straining to talk. He's always like I

764
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: want to go on then, and he's growling a little bit.

765
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: He has two extremes. It's monster trucks or he wants

766
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: to be in Ballerina Tuttoo's work.

767
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 4: That's the duality. I'm fine, girl, be you reach into it,

768
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 4: like lean into it. You know.

769
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 3: He sees me do my makeup and he all of

770
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: a sudden, I look over and he's like lip glossing

771
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: and using my brushes and like chewing on it. I'm like,

772
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: do you boys, I'm like, I'm here for it.

773
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:23,200

791
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 3: but also talk to me about this show. I believe.

792
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: Did you just finish shooting in the UK?

793
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: No, oh well we did a we did so. One

794
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 4: thing I love about Helton is like they kind of

795
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: give me free rein So we did a tea time

796
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: with Code series where we kind of infused normal content

797
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 4: like TV content within the ride, like during the active recovery.

798
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 4: So it's like a three or four minute segment where

799
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: I kind of just like go through different cultural aspects

800
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 4: of the UK. It was a lot of fun and

801
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 4: like it allows me to wear my little like interviewer hat, yeah,

802
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: and get better at that. So I had a lot

803
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 4: of fun with that.

804
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: What I am noticing and I think Peloton is doing

805
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: a really great job is they're really adjusting. Yeah, a

806
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 3: lot of their business plan because you know, people were

807
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 3: back out there, people were back out in the gym.

808
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 3: COVID was a fucking banger.

809
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course.

810
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 3: I mean you guys were the only thing getting us

811
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: through COVID, So thank you of course. But yeah, I

812
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 3: think it is important as things now are back to

813
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: normal and things are progressing, Like they're really doing a

814
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 3: good job of telling stories of each individual instructor and

815
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 3: who they are, how they show up. There's a lot

816
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: more personality I don't think we had before that people love.

817
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I also think, like I think what I

818
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 4: admire about Pelton right now is like kind of adjusting

819
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 4: to be part of the a the guys, but tapping

820
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 4: into what is happening for people. I mean, like Hi

821
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 4: Rocks is such a big thing right now, and like

822
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 4: so like we're big on like hybrid training, and so

823
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 4: there's just like so many different training programs for that

824
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 4: type of workout. You know, I might fuck around and

825
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: do a high Rocks this year, but don't hold me

826
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: to it. Yeah, So what is next for definitely, you

827
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 4: know I've said this the past few years is just

828
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 4: like more time of like for myself, slowing down a

829
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 4: little bit more the old. Maybe you feel this now

830
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 4: that you're forty. It's just like, yeah, by so quickly

831
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 4: joy thirty eight, I believe thirty nine in June. It

832
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 4: just goes by so quickly that you're like, oh, like

833
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 4: what am I doing? I want to savor more of it.

834
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 4: So that's like really the intention. But professionally, I got

835

Speaker 4: last relationship I was in I talked a lot about

871
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,200

872
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 4: more guarded and I'm deciding on like where to go

873

Speaker 4: with that and what what feels comfortable.

874
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:41,799

Speaker 3: fun to do.

882
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 4: I went like probably four years ago. Honestly, I didn't

883
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 4: have a bad experience. It was like I don't need

884
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 4: to come back here, but kind of like last minute traveling.

885
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 4: I was like, let's go to PB and we had

886
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 4: such a fun time. We just like had a villa.

887
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: We chilled out, we played card games, we did a

888
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 4: bout day. We went out like one night, very sensible

889
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 4: in our late thirties, just one one night. I was

890
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 4: home by three, which is I know that sounds late,

891
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,200

892
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 4: be out till like eight or nine. So, like, you know,

893
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 4: an adjustment, a movement in the right direction.
