1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Hello, Chip, Hi, Happy Friday. How you doing.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm well.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: I feel like we both start talking. We go into

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: like our Delilah voices. Delahlah, I love, Delilah love someone ton.

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: I should put that on my bucket list to like

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: get a dedication on Delilah before if.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: You got oh my god, I would die. Actually, I

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: really hope you do that because that would make my

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: life too.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: When when we were when I was living in New York,

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: there were you know, we couldn't go out as much

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: as we wanted to because we were, like it was

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: our first jobs and we were often broke. So sometimes

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: we would just stay up and listen to Delilah.

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Oh my God.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: We ordered Delilah merch. We have like Delilah bags and stuff.

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: What is her?

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: I think merch? Like, I mean, it was just like

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: a toe bag that said Delilah. And I think too, you.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Walk around with the toe bag in New York that

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: said Delilah.

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I think we were like people didn't

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: really like she was much more popular outside of New

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: York than she wasn't New So I don't think that

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: many people got the joke. I'm looking right now to

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: see if she still has merch Marketplace.

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Okay, we're digressing anyway, Happy Friday, folks. It is officially summer,

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: and you and I were kind of talking about this yesterday.

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: We went out on a boat yesterday and it was

30
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Memorial Day. Last weekend. It was all of the celebrations

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: because school got out, like it was officially, I feel

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: the mark of summer. And so when we were talking

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: about what we wanted to talk about this week, I

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: said to Chip, do you remember the difference between the

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: way you feel right now and like the way that

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: summer felt when school was over. You were a kid,

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: School was over and it was like you had the

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: whole world in front of you. Summer as a kid

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: was like the best thing. I almost think it was

40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: better than Christmas.

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean honestly one hundred percent. And three months when

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: you're that age, literally, oh my god. Like I feel

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: like as an adult, we're like, oh, summer's here. And

44
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: the next thing you know, we're like, oh, schools starting tomorrow,

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: and you're like, how did that fucking happen?

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Right? But also is it really three months? Was it

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: three months when we were a kid, Yeah.

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: I mean we would get out of school early June

49
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: and not go back until September.

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: So June in May and then we would but then

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: you would go back.

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, still still three.

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Months, Virginia. Does it different?

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. Still does it that way?

55
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Interesting? Yeah, I guess it is. I just feel like

56
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: summer is getting shorter and shorter. But maybe it's just

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: because I'm an adult and time goes by way faster,

58
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: like we always about. Yeah, but when you were a kid,

59
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: it was like school's out. The only sad part.

60
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: Don't cry, I mean it's.

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: It's actually just choked the mouse.

62
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

63
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Sorry guys. It was like the only thing I was

64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: sad about was not seeing my friends every day. But

65
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: then and eventually we would end up finding ways to

66
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: see each other almost every.

67
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: Day, or you find new friends, Like I are you

68
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: like in your neighborhood. I would go to like day

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: camps and real camp and you know, by and then,

70
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: like I wanted to be a lifeguard very young, so

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: I was like in lifeguarding classes on the water. I

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: did grow up in the water. And then you know,

73
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: even early summer jobs is like you know, fourteen fifteen

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: year old, Like I worked at a campground, so I

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: was meeting people that were visiting, Like, yeah, I don't know,

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: it just it was always an adventure.

77
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first day back to school and

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: you were always like like, especially when you got to

79
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: high school, it felt like you were going back to

80
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: school and someone was cuter, someone was prettier.

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: There was so much that happened, like amazing new shoes,

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: like it was so importantly.

83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, or that, Yeah, at the shoe game was always

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the first day of school. I guess we'll cover that

85
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: in September. Maybe we could talk about that. But today

86
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about summer. And I found an article called

87
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven reasons this summer was way better, way way

88
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: better when you were a kid, and I found that

89
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: to be true. But I want to read some of

90
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: these because they made me giggle. I want to see

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: if you guys relate. One, you were always ten, because

92
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: obviously you're always outside. Two, airports were more fun, Like

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: do you remember how interesting airports.

94
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: Were even as Yeah, well when we were kids too.

95
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: It was pre nine to eleven, so it was like

96
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: you basically just walked up and handed them a photocopied

97
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: piece of paper and you got on the plane.

98
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: Like I didn't we didn't fly very much because we

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: would always drive to the beach. That was our big

100
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: vacation and it wasn't very far from where I'm from.

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: So I didn't fly very much until I was in

102
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: high school. I think I had my first flight. Maybe

103
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: it was college. I don't even know.

104
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: My first flight was before the summer, before my senior

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: year of high school.

106
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: So I didn't feel like kids nowadays fly more.

107
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, I mean, I think it's just much more

108
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: than it used to be, too, even though it's not

109
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: cheap to do. I just the whole world is more expensive.

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: But I feel like flying, and I think there's just

111
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: more airlines and cheap airlines for competing.

112
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: That's just what you do. Ice Cream didn't make you fat.

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: It still doesn't give you whatever you want. We used

114
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: to have the worst diets. I would eat a full

115
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: bag of nacho cheese Doritos in one day. Oh, easily,

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: so unhealthy.

117
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't think I ate any real food. Yesterday when

118
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: we went to the boat, like it was all like

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: potato chips and dinner. I didn't come home and eat dinner. Oh.

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: I did something about being in the summer though, you

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: don't feel like you have to sit down and have

122
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: three meals. It is a little more like snacky or

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: not caring about your bikini body. Like you didn't think

124
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: about it as a kid, did you know.

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: I mean it's not until puberty that that really Yeah,

126
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: Like all you think about is they got more ice

127
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: cream than I did. I want some more ice cream.

128
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Right, Summer camp, this is a good one. I used

129
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: to love that, having no work, like the fact that

130
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you actually get months off of school and you can

131
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: just take a break from things. I mean we would

132
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: have summer reading, right, but that was it. You really

133
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: got to decompress.

134
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: I had chores, like I had to like mow the

135
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: lawn and stuff like that.

136
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: But look at you. Now, look what that did to you.

137
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Now, I was gonna say, I love well. We had

138
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: a when I was young. We had I grew up

139
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: on a farm in Virginia and it was a lot

140
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: of land and my dad had We had a really

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: old lawnmower, a riding one, and it would take me

142
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: six hours tomorrow lawn. But I loved it because I'd

143
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: put my walkman on and I would just listen to music,

144
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, I was like free as a bird.

145
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: I didn't have to do anything but mow that lawn.

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: But then I went to college and my dad bought

147
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: one of those fucking things that they use on golf

148
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: courses and he can move on now in like an

149
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: hour and a half, and it's like fun to do.

150
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: And I'm so when I was coming up from college,

151
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: I was like, can I mow the law now? And

152
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: he'd be like, to do it not on my nice

153
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: riding lawnmower. I was like, you're a dick.

154
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Wow. Territorial about that long on making random friends something

155
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: you were saying, playgrounds, long vacations. I love this one.

156
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: You didn't have to shave as a woman. That is

157
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: like a big one because in summer you have to

158
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: keep up with that so much more.

159
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Your legs.

160
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Other regions definitely your oram pits. It's just constantly on

161
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the radar because of what you're wearing. Sleeping in that's

162
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: another one. Yes, Escaping your parents while taking their money.

163
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: It was like your parents were paying you to go away,

164
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: like before taking their money. They're like, get the food.

165
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Out of here. Yeah, okay, this one's funny And I

166
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: don't really know about this. Matching outfits with your brothers

167
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: would people put you in matching outfits with your sister.

168
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Doing that? Maybe if it was like at a wedding

169
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: or something and they were dressing us up, she might

170
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: have done something that like sort of made it go together.

171
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: But we would never like twinning that kind of matching.

172
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Being in the pool so long you wrinkled that is

173
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: so you I can see it. Yes, Weekends didn't matter

174
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: because basically every.

175
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: Day is it?

176
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Every day on the weekend binge watching TV? Did you

177
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: do that?

178
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: Not really, because TV wasn't nearly as good and didn't

179
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: have nearly as many options. It was funny because when

180
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: I was doing a little research for this, one of

181
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: the things that I was reminded of was the fact

182
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: that like daytime television was really not geared toward kids.

183
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: It was talk shows, it was and it was as stories. Yes,

184
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: so like as a kid, you only on Saturdays. Would

185
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: you ever want to be watching television during the day,

186
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: because that's what cartoons were on? Otherwise you were like

187
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm sleeping or I'm going somewhere to play.

188
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, having time to be bored is the next

189
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: one on the list.

190
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: Think about that being bored is actually a really good thing.

191
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: When's the last time you were bored. I can't even

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: think about the last time I was bored. It wasn't

193
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: because I was doing nothing, I'll tell you that much, right.

194
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I haven't been bored in a long time.

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the good thing about boredom is

196
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: what is born out of it, you know, if you

197
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: can snap yourself out of it. Some people get stuck

198
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: in that. But you know, boredom makes you like have

199
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: to create, you know, you have to go find something.

200
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: So but it's hard when you're really busy to end

201
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: up in a place of boredom. You can be complacent

202
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: and that's not bored.

203
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that just got really deep. Wow, I don't remember

204
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: in my adult life. I cannot think of a time

205
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: recently where I have been bored. I would actually love

206
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: to be bored. I think that that sounds really fun.

207
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what. I take that back

208
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: last week when I was out with that back injury,

209
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I was so antsy by Friday to just move and

210
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: do something and not watch another show or read another

211
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: book or talk on the phone do anything. I would

212
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: just wanted to, like, So, I guess that is a

213
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: little bit like boredom anyway in the summer. I do

214
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: remember saying to my mom over and over, Mom, I'm bored,

215
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, and we would always kind of have that energy.

216
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: But you have the time to be bored.

217
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: What a gift, right My mom would say, go read

218
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: a book. I was like, that is the last way

219
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: to get a child to read a book, true by

220
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: being like I'm bored, Like say, go eat some ice

221
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: cream and take your book with you.

222
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: Well, I never did this one as a kid. It's

223
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: a naps I wish I had, but man, I would

224
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: really embrace that now. Well, so we go ahead side.

225
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't a good napper either, and I'm.

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Still never been a good napper either, but a good restactly.

227
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: We both came up with our own list after we

228
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: read this one of ways that we were going to

229
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: incorporate things that we loved from our childhood summers into

230
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: our adult summer this year. Did you do it? Ship?

231
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, Well, first of all, it made I was

232
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: like thinking back to what my summers looked like. And

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: my family did not travel a lot like our summer

234
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: vacations were usually a camping thing, so road trips were

235
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, obviously sort of like the pinnacle of what

236
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: a summer would be because you're always like you'd be

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: looking forward to it. It usually involved the beach, It

238
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: involved another family that had friends, so it was like

239
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: it was kind of all the things that make summer

240
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: summer all rolled into one. Like you know, you're grilling out,

241
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: you're doing those sorts of things. But before I get

242
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: to the road trip part of it, you know, most

243
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: of my summer was my mom being like, just go

244
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: outside and play and come back when I call you.

245
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: So it was like disappearing not only into like the

246
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: physical world of my neighborhood, which was by the way

247
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: a street and woods and farmland, so there wasn't a

248
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: whole lot to do, but like dig worms and play

249
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: with my dog and like just sort of truly get lost.

250
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny when you think about your parents

251
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: get lost, like that was I would go get lost,

252
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: And you know, I I think that it is important

253
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: with summer to allow kids to go do that. And

254
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: I know that times are very times are very different,

255
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: but I do I do think that, you know, and

256
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: some of what I was reading about because I don't

257
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: have a kid, so I and nor does Kelly and

258
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: so I thought it was really important to remember that

259
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: a lot of our listeners do have families and children,

260
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: and you know, they might not have luxury just to

261
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: like jet off and be like fuck work today because

262
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: there's so many more responsibilities. But you know, I think

263
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: it's important to allow kids to have some autonomy because

264
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: so much of their life is scheduled. And you know,

265
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: and I don't mean helicopter parent as a bad thing,

266
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: because I think there's so many more reasons today why

267
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: parents have to be helicopter parents. But I do think

268
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: that when it comes to summer, if you can find

269
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: ways to allow your kid to get lost safely, that

270
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: is really important because that's when they find themselves. And

271
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: you know, I can think of a million stupid things

272
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: that I did as a child that I didn't get hurt,

273
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: but they were like things that helped me grow into

274
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: who I am. So I just implore anyone that has

275
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: kids to like try and let the summer wash over

276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: them and not worry so much and let the kids

277
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: be kids. And I think one of the ways to

278
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: do it, which was really interesting that I read, was

279
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: institute a no device day because kids don't really have

280
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: an excuse to need to be there's no homework to

281
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: be done. And the article that I read recommended that

282
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: you try to implement it for yourself too, because it's

283
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: really important for them to see that you don't need

284
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 2: a device to get through your day too. Obviously that

285
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: would probably need to be on a weekend for parents.

286
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: It also just makes you more pressed with them. Like

287
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: if you are with your kids, if you're not on

288
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: your phone, you're much more present. Anyway, that's my little.

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Sit So your goal is to get lost yourself in

290
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: some of that, like put your device down correct some time.

291
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: I like that.

292
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: I like that you are using get lost as not

293
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: necessarily physically lost, but to get lost in the moments.

294
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's a really good Just think about the

295
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: times that you like rolled down grassy hills or just

296
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: laid on the ground and looked at clouds and tried

297
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: to find shapes, and or we would.

298
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: Build stores out of like mud and grass, and you know,

299
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: make jewelry out of flowers and things like that. You

300
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: did have to use a lot more of your creativity.

301
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that you know, as adults, it's

302
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: why don't we do that a little bit more often?

303
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: And just sort of tap into our childhood. And I

304
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: think it's something that we can, you know, an example

305
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: for a single, like for someone like me, I should

306
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: maybe maybe like go on a hike one day about myself,

307
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: just me and my dog, without music music. I don't

308
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: need a phone, I don't need a friend with me.

309
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: I don't need to depend on anything but the moment.

310
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: And I think if you have kids, you can do

311
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: some of those things too, obviously make them a little

312
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: more kid friendly, but like, not only does it allow

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: you to sort of tap back into your youth, but

314
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: it creates these like special bonds and lasting memories for

315
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: the both of you. And when I think about my parents,

316
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: and you know, thankfully they're still both with us, but like,

317
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: I think that when they're gone, the memories that I

318
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: am going to have with them that are the most

319
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: core are probably from my childhood. That's the way I'm

320
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: going to want to remember them, not as old people,

321
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: but as like the people that like helped make me

322
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: who I am, so you know, and a lot of

323
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: that was summer activities. It was when my dad was

324
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: a lot more available, my mom was a lot more available,

325
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: and just me and my sister got to spend a

326
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: lot more time together.

327
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: So I feel like peoplerobably got a lot of practice

328
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: with this kind of mindset during COVID, when there was

329
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: no school, we didn't have work the same way, So

330
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: pull back some of those ideas. It's summer. But I

331
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: also just love it, even if you're not talking about kids,

332
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: or if you are single or younger, whatever it is,

333
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: getting lost in a moment is such a beautiful mentality,

334
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: especially this time of year when we have a little bit,

335
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more freedom, a little bit extra space,

336
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: or you make it for yourself because you're like, I'm

337
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna do summer, right.

338
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is I've talked about wave country

339
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: on here before, but it's it's this like run obviously

340
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: wavepool that I love and I think, you know, just

341
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: hearing you and I say this is like, that's kind

342
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: of what I do there. I go get lost in

343
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: the wave pool. Yeah, because I don't have my phone. Yeah,

344
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't have earbuds. In a lot of times I

345
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: go alone, and even when I'm with friends, some we're

346
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: just sitting there flow. It's not like we're even we

347
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: get separated by the waves.

348
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not talking.

349
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean it's kind of is my little place

350
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: to go get lost.

351
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: No wonder you love it so much. I love it

352
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: bringing you back to childhood.

353
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: You know, we touched on the boat club. That's something

354
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: that I'm going to lean into a lot this summer.

355
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: So, you know, I want to tell the listeners what

356
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: you named your membership.

357
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the Naughty Queen Yacht Club.

358
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: I thought we were feeling naughty.

359
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: No, that was where it started. It's called the Naughty Queen.

360
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yacht he's saying naughty as an in a uti

361
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Chip joined a boat club with another friend of ours.

362
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to give the backstory. You can't just

363
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: mention things like people know what you're talking about.

364
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so we joined a boat club that's here

365
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: in Middle Tennessee that they're five lakes, so we have

366
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: access to boats that we can just go use and

367
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: all we have to pay for now is the gas.

368
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: And you know, there's there's a lake literally in town

369
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: that takes fifteen minutes to get to and they have

370
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: double decker boats that have slides off of them that

371
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: are really fun for kids. And they have wakeboarding boats

372
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: where you can pull skiers and wakeboarders and tubers and

373
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: sort of zip around and we have access to all

374
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: of we have their kayaks. I might go get lost

375
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: on a kayak one day. Yeah, it'd be fun. And yeah,

376
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: so it's we can have two reserves standing reservations at

377
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: a time. So it's like there's no reason to not

378
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: have one on the books. I have one for Sunday morning.

379
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: He wants to join.

380
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, boat club.

381
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: Hi, there you go. If you're in Nationville, want to

382
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: go boating, let me know. But there's also they have

383
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: partnerships with some other nautical clubs, so we can we

384
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: can get boats if we're ever in Key West or

385
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: in Austin. I feel like you guys.

386
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Could see his face light up when he talks about this.

387
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: It is truly the thing bringing you the most joy

388
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: this summer, I feel.

389
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: So, you know, maybe look to see if there's a

390
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: boat club or something. It's certainly a much more affordable

391
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: and less painstaking thing than buying a boat and owning

392
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: right having because like when we're done, we pull up,

393
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: we pay for gas, and then we get off right.

394
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: You don't worry about storage or cleaning nothing.

395
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, another cool thing that's out there. I've never done it,

396
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: but it's kind of on my bucket list. There's a

397
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: thing called Camp No Counselor, and it's an adult summer

398
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: camp where you pay an all inclusive fee. There's theme nights,

399
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: there's party nights. There, you play tug o war, you

400
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: do all the things, and they have them in a

401
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: few like I think there's one in New York State.

402
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: I think there's one in California. I feel like there's

403
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: one in Florida, So look it up. It's called Camp

404
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: No Counselor.

405
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good idea. We just mentioned those

406
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: the week before you went to camp. Do you not

407
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: remember how excited you were, especially if you're new to

408
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: an area. That seems like a really good way to

409
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: make new friends.

410
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's alcoholk. So it's a different level of camping,

411
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: but it's still like I think they try to make

412
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: it as close to your childhood version of camp as possible.

413
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: But you know, it could be a fun way to

414
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 2: like sort of you know, leave some stuff behind for

415
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 2: a few days. What else, Oh, I said fireworks? I

416
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: love local fireworks. I love you know, don't wait till

417
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: the fourth of July. And the and to like go

418
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: to the biggest city or whatever to see like attend

419
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: local fairs and carnivals and things like that, because it's

420
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: nothing will remind you more of your childhood, especially if

421
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: you grew up in a small town. I love when

422
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: I go back home and the carnival's going or there's

423
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: you know, a beach festival or something happening, and especially

424
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: if they're yankie fireworks. I mean my neighbor does. He

425
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: does fireworks on all the big holidays.

426
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: And is that legal?

427
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: Probably not okay, But like, I mean, they got a

428
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: town and he told me so his Fourth of July

429
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: party is going to be on July. It's like after

430
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: the fourth this year, and he's like, fireworks are eighty

431
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: percent off.

432
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: He's buying him now after He's going to buy him after.

433
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 2: They because they're trying to get rid of him. So

434
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's gonna rival downtown Nashville.

435
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

436
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: And my final thing was because obviously, as adults, we

437
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: all have responsibility and we most of us have to

438
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: have jobs. It's the way of life. But thankfully, because

439
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: of daylight saving, we have extra sunlight at the end

440
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: of the day.

441
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't it make such a difference. I swear it

442
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: changes the whole thing. Yeah, use it.

443
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: Use it, like do something in the yard with your

444
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: kids or by yourself. Like I mean, you can't really

445
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: play kickball or have a water balloon flight fight by yourself.

446
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: But you could slip and slide, you can cook, you

447
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 2: can grill outside, you can eat outside. Just soak up

448
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: the summer. And you know, maybe even if you're feeling

449
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 2: feeling it, camp in your backyard. Like there's I can

450
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: remember doing that with my dad when I was a

451
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: kid and seeing owls for the first time.

452
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good compromise to you for people

453
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: like me who do not like camping, because you can

454
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: still go pee inside.

455
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: You can take a shower in the morning, right, Yeah.

456
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: You just run out and basic do the fun parts

457
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: of the camping. Maybe the sleeping if you felt like

458
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: that too. But yeah, I actually love that idea. Yeah,

459
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: these are really good ideas you just gave the listeners.

460
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: There you go, and oh my gosh, I love I

461
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: love a theme park. I really do roller coasters, all the.

462
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: Rides, pretzels, ice cream, all the junk you can eat.

463
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember how sorry we were after Dollywood, though,

464
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't hit the same.

465
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: You get a good night's sleep. Though after you get

466
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: a good night you walk.

467
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: A million miles and then your net can't move because

468
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: of the roller coasters, and you're like, wow, I used

469
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: to love this ship, but now I can't function.

470
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, over and over and over.

471
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I have just a short list, but I

472
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: pulled some of my ideas. Okay. I had to say

473
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: being outside in general, because when I was a kid,

474
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: it was similar to your parents saying to you get lost.

475
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: We would literally leave the house in the morning, and

476
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: then I would be home for dinner like you said.

477
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: And again, I know times are different. My mom would

478
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: just be like, where are you going? And then I

479
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: would just go.

480
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: Like it was.

481
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: You would ride bikes back and forth to each other's houses,

482
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: or we were playing kickball in the street all day,

483
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: climbing trees, doing just everything. But I was outside all

484
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: day every day, and I was thinking about that. Now.

485
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Obviously I have to work, but why don't I work

486
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: in my backyard outside? Why don't I go sit once

487
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the cicadas are gone under the tree in the shade.

488
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: It's just they're just ways to do it, and still

489
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: we do. I think most of us have the luxury

490
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: now of not always having to be in an office

491
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: or a lot of us do. I know not everybody does,

492
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: but for those of you who can do it, and

493
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: if not, on the weekends, make sure to like get

494
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: outside and do something, especially if you're in the South

495
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: before it gets way too hot and you don't want

496
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: to be out there. But I'm just going to try

497
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: to think about like different ways to incorporate Maybe I'll

498
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: get a bike even I don't know. I used to

499
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: love bike riding, but just waste to incorporate something outside

500
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: into my day, even if I'm busy with work, because

501
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: it really does bring me a lot of joy and

502
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: it's good for you, good for you, vitamin D, all

503
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: the things.

504
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: Just taking the walk, I mean, I know you do that. Yeah,

505
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: I have a dog, so it's like I have to

506
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: get out and I should stop saying the word because

507
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: he's like staring at me right now and I don't

508
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: want him to bark. But yeah, I mean it's a

509
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: great excuse. I also want to implement work from water Wednesdays,

510
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: so what oh, oh Wednesday.

511
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would totally be down for that. Yeah, bring

512
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the hot spot, get out on that double decker, do

513
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: some work, and then get in the water. I think

514
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: that's our new thing. Let's do it.

515
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.

516
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Okay. When they said not caring about your body, I

517
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: really thought about that one, because I mean, maybe this

518
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: is more of a woman thing than a man thing,

519
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: but I think men worry about this too. My back

520
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: thing last week, and I've had some other health issues

521
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: recently that I've really just made me kind of reassess

522
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: maybe my own relationship with my body. And I think

523
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: we just all do this, you know, you talk about

524
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't really realize all the time the narratives in

525
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: my head that are saying negative things like picking my

526
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: body apart. And I love to work out, I love

527
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: to eat healthy. It's the things that made me feel good.

528
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: But like last week, I was totally out. I haven't

529
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: been able to work out still. And I can typically

530
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: be like, oh I feel disgusting or whatever, but you

531
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: know that, like I woke up this morning and I'm like,

532
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: you know what my body is functioning, and the fact

533
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: that our bodies function. As you get older, you start

534
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: to realize, oh my god, the things that our bodies

535
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: do is pretty incredible, the things that they do on

536
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: the daily, right, and especially when you're injured or you

537
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: have some health issues, like all you really start to

538
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: care about is if you're healthy or not. So anyway,

539
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to like not work out and not

540
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: take care of myself. That's important to me too, And

541
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: of course I want to look good because it makes

542
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: you feel good. But I'm not going to be as

543
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: hard on myself if, for instance, like last week when

544
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: I was just down and couldn't move, and then that's

545
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: continued onto this week, Like I'm not going to be

546
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't want to be in a

547
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: bathing suit kind of mentality. I'm just like this is

548
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: just where it is today. Yeah, just being nicer to myself,

549
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: you know.

550
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's always been my approach, like as

551
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: a as a guy who has dealt with weight issues

552
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: his whole life, Like there's nothing more mortifying than me

553
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: than that, like get out of a pool and a

554
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: wet T shirt and have to be like and like

555
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: pull it off. I would much rather like people still

556
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: see that I'm overweight. So I'm like I learned a

557
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 2: long time ago to be like, Okay, I don't care

558
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: this is my body because I'm going to get a tana.

559
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: But like now that I'm on this like my new

560
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: little fitness journey, it feels even better to take my

561
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: shirt off, you know, because I'm proud and still have

562
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: a lot of work to do, but I'm proud of

563
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: where I've gotten myself. But I'm also not gonna say

564
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: no to ice cream.

565
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: You're just gonna live your life.

566
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, life.

567
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: Mine is more about just like actual actually the way

568
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: I talk to myself. Something that's one of the healers

569
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of years ago taught me was

570
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: that our bodies like really do absorb and listen to

571
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the things that we say, even if it's in your head.

572
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: That's a narrative obviously, and so it picks up on

573
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: that energetically, like your cells actually pick up on that.

574
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: And so she would do this thing every morning where

575
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: she would literally touch each part of her body like

576
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: her feet, her legs, her calve, her thigh, her knee, cap, whatever,

577
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: and say thank you, I love you, thank you, I

578
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: love you, thank you, I love you, and like give

579
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: yourself a hug even at the end of it, and

580
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: before you know it, you do start to feel different,

581
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: which makes me understand that it is registering to our bodies,

582
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: which is crazy to me, but I I kind of

583
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: just forget how much of a part of our life

584
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: our bodies are. That sounds crazy, but it's just because

585
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: you just wake up and it functions, you know, and

586
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: then when it doesn't, you're thinking, oh shit, this is

587
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: crazy that every single day I take this movement for granted,

588
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: I take feeling good for granted, I take the energy

589
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I have for granted. I look at my thighs and

590
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: I see cellulite, not that they're functioning. And so it's

591
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: just kind of like a mentality switch that I think

592
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: has really started to be top of mind to me today.

593
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: And with bathing suit season coming up, I'm like, yeah,

594
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean on into that one this summer. Okay,

595
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: sleeping or taking naps, like sleeping in or taking naps.

596
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: They mentioned that a lot, and when you're a kid, especially,

597
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I remember coming home from college, I would sleep till

598
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: like noon every day. And I'm not saying I'm gonna

599
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: do that, but I do have a hard time, especially

600
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: on a work day, sometimes just feeling like I need

601
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: to wake up because it's routine or whatever or not,

602
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, kind of rushing the mornings, and I love

603
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: a slow morning. That is one of the things that

604
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: brings me the most joy, meditating, reading, slowly, drinking my coffee. Again,

605
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: if you have kids, I'm sure you want to curse

606
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: me right now. I don't get to do this every

607
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: day either, but just finding ways to have a slower morning,

608
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: sleep in a little bit and not guilt myself, or

609
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: if in the middle of the day during the summer,

610
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I have the time, I

611
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: feel like going to take a little rest, I'm gonna

612
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: do it. That's my rebellion this summer.

613
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's a good thing to do.

614
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: It's exactly what you would have done as a child, too, right, and.

615
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to your body again to tie it back

616
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: into the other stuff. It's just we stress ourselves out.

617
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, what was the thing about summer that

618
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: was so great as a kid?

619
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

620
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Right, it's that we got to not be at school

621
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: for three months, like we were just saying, we got

622
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: to not have to do work or whatever it was.

623
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: And I do think that we as humans need resets.

624
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: So maybe you don't get as much time or it

625
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: doesn't look exactly the same, But there are ways that

626
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: we probably can all be a little gentler with ourselves

627
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: and kind of take one little thing and it'll feel

628
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: like such a treat, you know, Like it would feel

629
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: like such a treat to sleep in a little bit

630
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: to me at this point. Yeah, that's all hod.

631
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: And you could do that once a week, you know, totally.

632
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: It could be like our Wednesday's workday outside like it's

633
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: like whatever it is, and it doesn't have to be

634
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: till noon. Like I said, even thirty minutes would probably

635
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: make me be like, ooh, yeah, I'm really taking care

636
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: of myself today. So anyway, I think that's kind of

637
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: our goal is just to figure out ways as adults

638
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: in our forties to make this summer like our summer

639
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: as kids and really kind of embrace it and enjoy

640
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: the time, the downtime, the outside time, whatever it is

641
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: that makes you happy in the summer. Think about it.

642
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040

665
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: used to do as a kid. Are We're not going

666
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: to tie it back into the topic that we just did.

667
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,720
