1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: I need to apologize in bance because I'm a little

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: nasal today. Well I was worried I was going to be,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: but I'm feeling better. Did you have this I had,

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: like the cred Um. No, it started on Sunday during

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the marathon, and I thought it was just because I

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: was outside. It was like a little chilly. When I

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: got back to my hotel that night, it was like

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: green sludge. Oh wow, very descriptive, thank you sludge, real

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: pretty green sludge coming out your nose at home. But

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I seemed to like it turned a corner that night.

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you weren't making out with anyone. Really

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: awkward to talk about it at casual moments. Um, So

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: we are here though. You mentioned the marathon, and we're

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: here because you just completed the New York City marathon

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: I did for the second year in a row. That

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: is I mean, honestly, there, I would get proud of

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: you for a lot of things, but that is one

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: of the coolest things I think anyone can do, and

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: it's just amazing to me that you've completed it twice. Yeah,

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's if I had to raise money this

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: year and I put on my thing, Like, the only

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: thing crazier than me running the marathon last year is me.

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: You're doing it again this year. Yeah, because you knew

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: what you were getting into, what I was getting into.

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: I'm a year older. Yeah. Um. I also thought I

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: was gonna be able to get out of it at

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: the last minute, and then found out I couldn't, So

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I didn't train as well as i'd hope. So you're older,

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: not wiser O, right, Um, But I mean, yeah, it's

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: I do it. Um, I do it for me really.

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean this this time, I had to raise money.

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: So what do you mean you had to raise money?

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand. So there's only a few ways to

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: get into New York City Marathon. One. You can qualify

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: by running other marathons. I don't know what they are. Um.

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to win, but I think

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: you have to like show that you're an elite runner

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: of some sort. I don't know what the I don't

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: know what the parameters really are. So you qualify. You

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: can get in through the lottery, which is what I

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: happened for me last year. And and all you do

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: is like your randomly picked and you pay the entry

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: fee of like it's like two bucks or something like that,

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: and then you go do the marathon. This year, I

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: had to sign up through a charity, which is a

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: third way that you can do it. So I raised

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: money for the s p c A. So I had

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: to raise and then that covered my entry fee and

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: then um, everything above the entry fee goes to the

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: s A. Did I pay you for this? I don't

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: feel like I just donated. I think you even asked me.

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: It's fine. I mean I met my goal. So um.

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: I mean, look, people can still donate if they want,

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: but to check the chip door. He's just raising money

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: for like it was funny. I was thinking about it.

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: I actually spent a decent amount of money just doing it.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: And I think on some I had friends that have

58
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: run marathons, like in Hawaii. It's like they do destination

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: ones and a lot of times within the money that

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: you raise pays for your trip to For my flight,

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: I paid for my hotel, I paid for my ubers. Oh.

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I have really bad luck with with ride shares. As

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: we know from the second my driver yesterday on the

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: way to the airport hit a guy on a bike,

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: didn't kill him. Did we need to call bart Durham again.

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean that guy might want to, but I will

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: say as a witness, it was the bike driver's fault.

68
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: He ran around. Okay, well he's not dead, so no ship.

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: We digress. Um, yeah, so a lot of times the

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: trip is paid for by the money that you raised,

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: but it wasn't for this. So well. The cool thing

72
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: about all of this though, and um, what you and

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: I were kind of talking about before this is you

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily refer to yourself as a runner. I mean,

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: in fact, I hate running and I hate running like

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: there's literally nothing worse to me. It's um, it's monotonous,

77
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: it hurts, it hurts, I've I mean I also have asthma.

78
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not the picture you guys. I know this is

79
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: just the radio airwaves, but I am not the picture

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: actually not even the radio so um whatever, um, but

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm not the picture of health. And it's like I

82
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: could stand to lose a few pounds, which would help

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: me with my running, but I do it because, um,

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: it gives me some time to break free from everything.

85
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Like I can turn my phone off and I just

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: go and um, and now that I've done it, it's

87
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: like I can I find a speed with which like

88
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: I can just go for I can do like eight

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: or nine miles before I'm like, okay, I'm done with this.

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: UM But like a three to five mile run is

91
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: like that's fairly easy, and I can do that before

92
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: work if I want to. So isn't it such an

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: interesting thing what our minds are in control of though?

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Because what a mental game? Yeah, I was gonna say.

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: With running, it's especially like I don't even want to

96
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: try for this because I'm like already starting. I can't

97
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: do it right. Yeah, And it's like, and we've talked

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: about this a little bit in the past, like or

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: before we started recording UM You. For me, it was

100
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: totally about like teaching myself that I could sort of

101
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: overcome anything and do something that was seemed really out

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: of my grasp. And you know, when in telling people

103
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: that I'm doing it, I hear when they're like, oh

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: my god, you're running a marathon, and I hear it

105
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: as like you're running a marathon specific to that's because

106
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: that's what my mind tells me about myself, like I

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm running a marathon. You will hear it.

108
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: But what they're really saying is like you're running a marathon.

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: It's insane, and I mean it really is. I looked

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: at my steps today. I did like fifty seven thousand steps.

111
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean it is it's I mean, it took me

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: six hours and eighteen minutes. And to put that in perspective, um,

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, look at these people that these elite runners,

114
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: that the guy who wanted did it in what two

115
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: hours and eight minutes something crazy like that. They are bust.

116
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: They get to sleep later. The race starts at eleven.

117
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm no, al right, I started eleven. I think the

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I think the like handicapped, the people in wheelchairs started

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: like eight thirty, and then the elite women started like nine,

120
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: and the elite men started ninety just because they had

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: there's so many there's like fifty three this year. So

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: they do it in waves so that and you really

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: your race doesn't start until you crossed the start line.

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: It's all like digital and so anyway, the um, the

125
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: people in wheelchairs were done before I started, which is crazy,

126
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: like they did it in less than two hours. But

127
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: then well you think about the down hills. They really

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: have an advantage of the downhill. But I mean, these

129
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: elite runners, they get bust in right before their start time.

130
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: They do the race in two hours and eight minutes

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: and their home with their feet up before I've ever started.

132
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: I've started, And for me, I woke up at five am,

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: was on the bus to the race at six am,

134
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: was there at seven It's cold out. I had to

135
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: sit around for four hours to wait for me to go,

136
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: and the green sludge going down your sludge that hadn't

137
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: started yet, and then I had to run for six

138
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: hours in eighteen minutes Jesus um. And the cruelest part

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: is when you finish the race, you have to walk

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: like another mile in Central Park just to get out.

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, please send an ambulance. Are your legs by

142
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the end of it? Just jeded jelly? What are some

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: of okay? Like? Because obviously this is our at casual episode,

144
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: So let's talk through some of the things you told

145
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: me thought you did, because I actually find needs to

146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: be very casual moments. Well yeah, I mean, look, I'm

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: already vulnerable because I'm walking around. I was so a

148
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: friend of mine ran out with me. Um. He lives

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: in New York and he is much more in shape

150
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: than I am, and I kept in the morning just

151
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: being like, well, I'm gonna beat that person. I can

152
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I see another person I'm gonna beat, Like at least

153
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: I know I'm not coming in last. So like you're

154
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm already vulnerable because it's like you're surrounded by all

155
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: these like incredibly fit, like good looking people that like

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: running closer to his signed to hang on them like

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: a hanger. And I'm like I had to like up

158
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: a size because I didn't lose the weight i'd hope

159
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: to um for my running shirt. And so it's like

160
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm in a vulnerable space. And then you start thinking

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: about all the like little things that like make you

162
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: even more vulnerable, like where what happens if I have

163
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: to poop? You know, like it slows you down? Well,

164
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: couldn't you go before? I guess if you got upside early,

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: like if my morning routine gets thrown, I'm so fucked

166
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: in that area. Well, I mean I took I'd like

167
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: drank a bunch of coffee to try and like make

168
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: everything happen. But you're also like you're there's nerves that

169
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: you're not expecting, like excitement that you're not expecting. I

170
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: also I mean, this is a trick that goes back

171
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: to my grandmother, like I take a modium. I'll just

172
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: take a modium to clog myself up, to grandmother, just

173
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: to clog yourself up. Well, this is actually funny. I

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: think it was at a Christmas like celebration where this

175
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: is going, but I'm apologizing for us. It was at

176
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: a Christmas and my sister UM lived in like South Carolina.

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I forget where she was living. She's either a Myrtle

178
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: beach or in Georgia. At the time. Um I was

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: living in New York. My grandmother was UM living in Virginia,

180
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: and we were all home together, and somehow it came up.

181
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: One of us admitted to like, everyone we travel, we

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: take amodium so we don't have to poop on public

183
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: And my sister had a long drive and she was like,

184
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: I take amodium too, And then my grandmother was like, oh,

185
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: I've been doing that for years every time I travel.

186
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: So it was like this thing that we all do

187
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: just to clog ourselves up because we have we don't

188
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: like to use public. I would be afraid I would

189
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: get clogged for days. I mean, it's that's never I

190
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: thank god knock on wood. What's this desk made out of?

191
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: So you took a moodium. Um, Luckily I didn't have

192
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: to poop. But there are people that like poop your pants.

193
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: What like the elite runners will poop their pants because

194
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: they don't want to get slowed down. They don't it

195
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: affects your time when you pull over to my eyes

196
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: are crossing right now, Like can you imagine running down

197
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: the sheet street with ship in your pants? About done

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: your leg? Talk about sled talk about acting. There's nothing

199
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: casual about how do you keep going? I mean that

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: with I mean wonder you know that how runners shorts

201
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: have those little underwear and them are you pulling that

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: to the side? You want to let it fly out?

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. That is so disgusting. Okay, what else

204
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: is there? I think you mentioned nipple chafing? You can

205
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: I mean, especially on a chilly day. You know, the

206
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: material that these like sweat waking shirts are made out

207
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: of can be really chafing too. And so I mean

208
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: there's there's they have people passing out vasilene. I found

209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: these things called nip strips. Where are these They have

210
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: like little silicon like clear stickers that you just put

211
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: on your nipples and if your nipple gets hard, it's

212
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: like pressing against a sticker and not rubbing against your shirt.

213
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a lifesaver because I've had it

214
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: happened where I'll forget to put them on on like

215
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: a training run, and you're like seven miles in your

216
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: nipples you start to your nipples hurt and you still

217
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: have to get home, you know, And then so I'm

218
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: running like holding my shirt. You'all can't see me doing this,

219
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know, pulling my shirt at my nipples,

220
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Like you're running holding your shirt away from your nipples

221
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: because your nipples hurt too much, and like eventually they'll

222
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: start bleeding. Like I definitely saw people with like bloody

223
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: like nipple areas. I'm gonna tell you something I've never

224
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: thought about before, and that's nipple chafing. Like never crossed

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: my mind. Obviously, I've never run that many miles in

226
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: a row. What is it? Damn so nipple chafing, nipple

227
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: chafing and then everywhere else chafing. And they make this

228
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: stuff called body glide um. It looks like, I mean,

229
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: you could probably use it in sexual ways if you wanted.

230
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: But it looks like it's sort of like a deodorant

231
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: stick and you rub it and it's I don't know

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: what it's made of, but it's um. It's to like

233
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: your body sort of glide against to prevent chafing. But

234
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, two miles, i'd carry some with me so

235
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: I could reapply if I needed it. Wow, you had

236
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: a little belt with supplies. I had. Let's see, I

237
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: had a modium just in case. I had wipes just

238
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: in case. Yeah, because you you go into those things

239
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: and there's no toilet paper. Could you imagine you ship,

240
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: so you you do stop to pee and stuff? Yeah,

241
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I stopped to um and um, let's see what else

242
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: did I have with me? But my phone charger? Naturally? Yeah,

243
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: because what have you got a document? You have to document?

244
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: And I was listening to stuff too, So if my

245
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: phone died, um, you know, thankfully the phone batteries last

246
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: more than six hours. But I had to charge it

247
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: before I left because I've been sitting on the culver

248
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: for it. So, um, I had some of those things.

249
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: And you do get a bad check too, so able

250
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: to check clothes. So if I didn't want to carry

251
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: my charger and I had charged it all up, I

252
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: could have put it in there. But you know, I'm

253
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: one of those people that so addicted to my phone

254
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: that if it gets down less than I feel like

255
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: I need to charge it. But um, what are some

256
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: other I mean, look, it's um there's things that I

257
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: didn't even like. As a guy, I don't have to prepare. Like,

258
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: what if you're a woman on your period? You know

259
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: what I used? This is disgusting. I can't live probably,

260
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: But when I was in high school, UM had a

261
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: very heavy flow and my bass I played basketball. Our

262
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: uniforms are white, so like there would be moments in

263
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: the games if I was on my period that I

264
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, what if you're running down

265
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the court and you're bleeding in your white uniform? Like

266
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: how embarrassing would I be? Everybody's looking at you. You're

267
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: like out there for the rest of the game. You know.

268
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: So you said double up on tampons to tampon at

269
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: a time. I mean that's the kind of ship that like,

270
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: you literally do not survive high school. If that happens

271
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: to you, Oh my god, I would be that would

272
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: be I can't imagine anything. We're mortifying. I'm sure there

273
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: is something, but like to me, that was such a

274
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: fear because you know, sometimes it would happen in practice

275
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: because you're just so active. So I mean, how many

276
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: listeners are we losing talking about green sludge and period blood?

277
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Hey guys, this is act casual and it's like going

278
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: to talk about these things. That's just some real ship

279
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: unless you take amodium, right right, Um, So I think

280
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: it's like so interesting because you have all these tricks,

281
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: all these things you learn, and like we just talked

282
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: about the mental game, and that's the biggest point, Like

283
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: you did not necessarily know if this was something you

284
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: could do, and here you are. You just completed your

285
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: second one. Yeah, well it's technically my third, my second

286
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: New York. But the first one was like ten years ago,

287
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: eleven years ago. But the you know, this one was

288
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: funny too because I knew what I was getting into,

289
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: so I kN to anticipate, so like my nerves were

290
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: a little different. My what I was most nervous about

291
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: this time was like had I actually prepared enough and

292
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I be able to finish it? And that would have

293
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: been really embarrassing because I'd raised money too, Like, so

294
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't. I can't let these people down.

295
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing it for another cause. And it was funny.

296
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I had sort of a magical thing happened towards the end.

297
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: I was so, you finished the last like maybe three

298
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: miles or so or in you enter into Central Park

299
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: and you're running and it's like a really like sort

300
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: of beautiful backdrop and there are people cheering along the way,

301
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, for most of the marathon, um and there

302
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: are people in the park. And there was this like

303
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: very buttoned up woman like sort of walking against the

304
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: direction that the marathon was going in, and she didn't

305
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: she was by herself. She didn't really appear to be

306
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: there to be cheering people on. It just sort of

307
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: seemed like it was on her way. And she made

308
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: eye contact with me, and I had my name chip

309
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: on my shirt and she was like, you've got this chip,

310
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: keep going or something like that. And at that point,

311
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, I was about to cross the twenty five

312
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: mile marker. So I had a mile point two left

313
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: and I was done. Like my my body was cramping.

314
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: I thought my legs were going to give out. I

315
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: was exhausted. I just wanted to be done. And um,

316
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: and it just hit me and I was like, you

317
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: have your entire life to walk, run, run the next

318
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: one point two miles and like that will make you

319
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: feel accomplished for this thing. So I was like, fuck it,

320
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: I am. I don't care what kind of cramp comes.

321
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run through it. And I did. I

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: ran every step of the next one point two miles

323
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: and then you have to walk that fucking mile to

324
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: get out of the park. And I was going to

325
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: the subway. There's a like right when you exit the

326
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: park on eight I think it's eighty first three, there's

327
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: a subway stop right there. And I was gonna go

328
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: and meet my friends for some beers and burgers. And

329
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: I saw that woman again and yes, and I was

330
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: like and I said to her, I go, I saw you,

331
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: and I heard what you said. And it made me

332
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: run that last mile and mile point to without taking

333
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: a step, and she just said wow. And then I

334
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: went onto the subway and I'm like, was she really there?

335
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Just like a ghost that like I

336
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: needed in that moment, Like what are the chances I

337
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: would have seen she was on the other side of

338
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: the park. Wow? Was there a moment where you did

339
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: want to quit. Oh yeah, um yeah. I'm really bad

340
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: at uphills because I splint, so I have to walk.

341
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: And the Queensboro Bridge is like the between mile fifteen

342
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: and sixteen. I think. I think you cross fifteen while

343
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: you're on the bridge, and it's a really long bridge,

344
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's uphill, and it's a quick downhill,

345
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: and and there's nobody on the bridge cheering you, so

346
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: you're you're really just by yourself and with all the

347
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: people that are around you, and a lot of them,

348
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen miles into a race and the people

349
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: that you know are at my pace group are not

350
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: elite athletes. A lot of them are walking at that

351
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: point or you know, doing the walk run thing, and

352
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: they're old and you're like this, this this person gonna die

353
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: in front of me. I saw a dude with a

354
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: thing on the back of his shirt that said it

355
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: was his fifty six consecutive finish. Damn, it's crazy fifty six,

356
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: and then he could look like he could barely stand

357
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: up straight. Right. Um. I saw people with one leg missing,

358
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, running on I don't know what they're called.

359
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: They're like, um, that's what Olympic runners have the like

360
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: a blade prosthetic play. I mean, it's it's just so

361
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: so inspiring. But yeah, so that uphill is like I'm like,

362
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: can I just get on the subway and go home?

363
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: But then you think about all the people that are

364
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: tracking you on the app and your friends that have

365
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: donated and like, and it's honestly, it's not it wasn't

366
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: ever really about making anyone, probably me, you know, So

367
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: in those moments, you're just like, funk all this bullshit.

368
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing it. And it's just like one

369
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: mile at a time. The next thing you know, you're

370
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: you're closer to the finish than you are from the start,

371
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: and it's just like, wait, I only have four miles left,

372
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: only three miles left? Um there is it's pretty cool.

373
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: There's like a I think between like and twenty four

374
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: is like this long, slow uphill and you're just like,

375
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: can you design this differently, like repave the road or something,

376
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: make it slant the wrong way. That's like the mental

377
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: game right there though, because you can see slants in

378
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: the road to you know, it's like and it's if

379
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: it's a really long straightaway, you're like you just do it.

380
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: And then thankfully I have friends in New York that

381
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: were like along the way and they would tell me

382
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: where they were going to be, and they would text

383
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: me and say, I'm gonna be a mall twenty two

384
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: looking for you. So it's like in those moments you

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: have like a little motivation, little landmarks to like try

386
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: and get too. I think it's so interesting what you

387
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: said about when you're I mean not to get too

388
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: sentimental in our casual episode, but it is so comparable

389
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: to hard times in your life because it's like you

390
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: just have to keep putting one foot in front of

391
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: the other. You don't necessarily even know what's right in

392
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: front of you. You just gotta keep going right. And

393
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: once you get to that finish line, though, what a relief, Like,

394
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: what did you feel for yourself? Did you feel proud? No,

395
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: It's like I burnt. I was and I was by myself.

396
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: It's like I told my family not to come this year,

397
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Like you just burnt into tears because a there's this

398
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: huge sense of relief, but there's a huge sense of

399
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: accomplishment too, and then it's like panic because how am

400
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: I going to walk that next mile to get out

401
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of this park, but you know, you're surrounded by people

402
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: that are like in the same condition as you and

403
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: totally and it's just awesome. Like they let you it's

404
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: I know, it's like it's for what you just did.

405
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: It's not much a reward, but like they let you

406
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: get on the subway for free. People are congratulating because

407
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: you have your metal camaraderie. Yeah, it's like it really

408
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: is like this huge sense of accomplishment. But I think

409
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: it's true. Like it you know, every day we are

410
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: faced with challenges big or small, and that the last

411
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: thing you want is to be challenged. Most of the time,

412
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: you just want to get through your day. But is

413
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: it's those moments where you're like, if you can put

414
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: one ft in front of the other, there's something on

415
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: the other side of that that generally is pretty good

416
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: because then the challenge is behind you. What's that quote

417
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: they say, it's happiness is on the other side of

418
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: fear that. Yeah, it's amazing like that, Well, I don't

419
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm out of you, and I hope everyone listening knows

420
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: what a big accomplishment this is. Thank you for sharing

421
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 1: tips on nipple chaffing, n nip strips. I highly recommend them.

422
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: If you don't, wow, I mean, is there any other

423
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: time in your life you could think of wearing those

424
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: nip strips? Well, I mean if you didn't want to

425
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: have like if maybe if you didn't want to wear

426
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: a bra somewhere and it might be a little chili

427
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: and you didn't want your nipples to like poke out

428
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: of your shirt. They're essentially like a nipple cover, but

429
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: they stay on. My nipple covers that I own would

430
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: definitely fall off turn a marathon. Yeah, these don't that

431
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: would be in casual lost my nipple cover. I mean,

432
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: I guess I was gonna say that would be embarrassing,

433
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: but then I thought about the ship that's flying out

434
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: of people's pants and not much tops n lets you

435
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: slip in someone's ship. A god keeps getting worse. Okay,

436
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: we got to go before we keep talking about bodily functions.
