Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, it is Saturday, August ninth. Question for you,
Speaker 1: what did you do this week to give yourself a beats,
Speaker 1: give yourself a break, give yourself just a little grace
Speaker 1: this week, and maybe do a little something to recover. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what we did this week to recover. We
Speaker 1: took a four hour drive, had a romantic hike through
Speaker 1: a state park, went to a carnival, grilled steaks, kebabs
Speaker 1: and broughts every night, introduced a new generation to the
Speaker 1: Final Destination Movie franchise, and we watched one particular episode
Speaker 1: of Seinfeld. And with that, everybody, welcome to this recovery
Speaker 1: run edition of Amy and TJ. Rose. We are getting
Speaker 1: better at this. We were doing bad for a little
Speaker 1: while and recovering, but now we've gotten better in the
Speaker 1: past few weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're even recovering while we're working right now. Because
Speaker 2: we are sitting on a beautiful deck at the tip
Speaker 2: of Long Island with a beautiful breeze. You might be
Speaker 2: able to hear it on the microphone a little bit,
Speaker 2: apologies if you can. With a gorgeous seventy three degree
Speaker 2: sun beating down on us, not a cloud in the sky,
Speaker 2: so Yes, even though we're working, we're still kind of relaxing.
Speaker 1: Yes, not everybody gets to do that. We don't get
Speaker 1: to do that often, but we're getting to do it
Speaker 1: this week, and that has been a part of us
Speaker 1: probably being a little more up, being a little more joyful.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard it in our tone this week during
Speaker 1: some of our episodes, But the recovery run, we always
Speaker 1: remind folks this is a real thing, an actual thing
Speaker 1: for us runners and marathoners. But yeah, you do all
Speaker 1: that training and all that running, and sometimes you go
Speaker 1: run to recover from running robot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like active recovery. I think anyone
Speaker 2: who works out knows what that is. So a recovery
Speaker 2: run is a short, easy paced run intended to help
Speaker 2: your body recover from the harder workouts aka the rest
Speaker 2: of your week. It's a form of active recovery that
Speaker 2: promote it's blood flowed to tired muscles, aiding in the
Speaker 2: removal of metabolic waste and reducing muscle soreness. You know,
Speaker 2: I would say this recovery run that we're doing now
Speaker 2: each week, that we're talking about intentional moments of rest
Speaker 2: and relaxation in an otherwise hectic work week. That's it's
Speaker 2: almost like a mental recovery, so like your brain actually
Speaker 2: gets to relax, like the muscles in your brain. It's
Speaker 2: very much like the muscles in your legs or all
Speaker 2: the other muscles you're using in a run, all the
Speaker 2: muscles you use when you're stressed and anxious and overthinking,
Speaker 2: they need to relax too.
Speaker 1: And it's weird that one of are the ways that
Speaker 1: we found to relax this week came from probably one
Speaker 1: of the most frustrating parts of our week, and I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Robes. We went and we watched a particular
Speaker 1: episode of Seinfeld. It's called Alternate Side. I think it
Speaker 1: was season three, episode eleven, if I can remember that correct.
Speaker 1: But it's the episode Robes that is so famous, has
Speaker 1: such a place in pop culture because of a particular
Speaker 1: scene in which Jerry was trying to rent a car.
Speaker 2: Correct, And we actually had life imitate art this week,
Speaker 2: so if you all need a little refresher on the scene.
Speaker 2: Jerry goes up to get his car from the rental
Speaker 2: company and he says, here's my reservation, and they said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we see your reservation. But unfortunately, mister Seinfeld we have
Speaker 2: no cars, and he was like, then you actually didn't
Speaker 2: take the reservation, Like, oh, no, we did take the reservation,
Speaker 2: and he's like, no. The whole point of a reservation
Speaker 2: is to hold a car. And if so you can
Speaker 2: take a reservation, you're good at taking reservations. You're not
Speaker 2: good at actually following up or following through on the reservation,
Speaker 2: which is the whole point and the most important part
Speaker 2: of the reservation, which is to have the car available.
Speaker 1: See we're laughing about it now, but it was the
Speaker 1: most frustrating part of our week that caused us to
Speaker 1: actually watch that episode because we have had a reservation.
Speaker 1: We got of we're carless, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: are in New York, but yours was the last we
Speaker 1: were holding on to. Yep, your coop turned it in
Speaker 1: a few months ago. So all we have was a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: Can't go very far with our luggage on that thing.
Speaker 1: So we don't have a car, so had we rent
Speaker 1: when we travel. So we come to Montalk, rented a car.
Speaker 1: You rented that car? Is it literally months ago?
Speaker 2: Two months ago?
Speaker 1: Two months ago, made a reservation. We show up to
Speaker 1: pick up the car over the weekend and they tell you.
Speaker 2: What, we have no vehicles. And not only did I
Speaker 2: rent any vehicle this because we knew we had a
Speaker 2: bunch of kids coming. We actually specifically asked for an
Speaker 2: suv and it was more expensive, the seven passenger suv
Speaker 2: pre paid it. Get up there and they say, we
Speaker 2: have no vehicles, and I follow up and ask when
Speaker 2: will you be getting vehicles? The answer, I don't know,
Speaker 2: and I can't even guarantee you there'll be any for
Speaker 2: the rest of the day. And so we're there with
Speaker 2: all of our luggage that we slept over on the
Speaker 2: other side of the west side of Highway to get
Speaker 2: into our car, and we're being told there are no cars.
Speaker 2: So then we go and I get on the phone
Speaker 2: with another car company and they assure me, if I
Speaker 2: go to this other location in Manhattan, we will absolutely
Speaker 2: be able to get a car. So I rented, I
Speaker 2: reserved another SUV and okay, got on the phone with
Speaker 2: customer service. Yes, ma'am, that car is at that location. Fantastic.
Speaker 2: We get into another Uber. We go to the other
Speaker 2: car company and what happens. TJ's no cars, we have
Speaker 2: no cars available.
Speaker 1: There's one available, and the family ahead of you is
Speaker 1: taking that. It's like, wow, okay, it's awesome. Say, oh,
Speaker 1: here's a beautiful electric vehicle if you want to take this. Yes,
Speaker 1: it holds about three and a half people and two bags,
Speaker 1: and good luck finding whatever place to plug it into.
Speaker 1: Those are our options. We ended up getting a third
Speaker 1: option with a car with a leaky tire. The air
Speaker 1: is leaking, he assured me. Odds brought probably.
Speaker 2: Fine, just a sensor issue. Yeah, we checked it. We
Speaker 2: did the tire gauge, the tire pressure gauge. The tires
Speaker 2: are fine. So don't be alarmed because when you look
Speaker 2: when you go to turn the key, you're going to
Speaker 2: see that the tire pressure's dropping. But don't worry. We
Speaker 2: confirmed it's not dropping. Okay, just a malfunctioning sensor.
Speaker 1: So ocd ME is keeping an eye on this sense
Speaker 1: of the whole time pressure's dropping. We have to keep
Speaker 1: putting air in a tire. We have put air in
Speaker 1: this rental car tire all week because they let us
Speaker 1: leave with a leaking.
Speaker 2: Tire, and we left with the leaking tire knowing that
Speaker 2: it could be because it was our only option. It
Speaker 2: seemed as though in all of Manhattan and we were
Speaker 2: already an hour behind schedule, which added even a longer
Speaker 2: drive time because traffic going out to Long Island is
Speaker 2: so amazing on Saturdays.
Speaker 1: I have to ask the line the kid gave you,
Speaker 1: it hurts. I wasn't there with you and analyse, but
Speaker 1: it was a very much a similar line to the show.
Speaker 1: And he was talking about so, yeah, we only take reservations,
Speaker 1: we don't rent car.
Speaker 2: Well he said, he said, we only hold reservations, not vehicles.
Speaker 2: And when he said that to me, I did not laugh.
Speaker 2: I said, did you just hear what you just said?
Speaker 2: He's like yes, and I'll repeat it. And then when
Speaker 2: you went up and talked to him, he had some
Speaker 2: attitude with you because I had already questioned him, like,
Speaker 2: did you actually just say that to me with a
Speaker 2: straight face?
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're not trying to no, this is an
Speaker 1: actual experience, and we're not bad mouthing or trying to
Speaker 1: bad mouth these companies. But if anybody in any executive
Speaker 1: level of either of those two companies knew that their
Speaker 1: employees behave that way that day, there would be hell
Speaker 1: to pay. There is zero chance you ever want your
Speaker 1: company to have anybody have the experience that we had
Speaker 1: with your company.
Speaker 2: It's so true. It's so true, so that you know,
Speaker 2: of course, travel vacations. You know, this is why we've
Speaker 2: even laughed when you see other families stressed out, because
Speaker 2: there it never goes perfectly. Wheels always fall off the
Speaker 2: bus in some way, form or fashion, and ours just
Speaker 2: happened right away.
Speaker 1: What was the company, you know, not the company? The
Speaker 1: family was from? Where was funny?
Speaker 2: There was a family from Germany. And I felt so
Speaker 2: bad for her because she had booked She said, she
Speaker 2: had booked this car six months in advance. She asked
Speaker 2: this sales associate about fifteen questions ahead of times. Okay, fine, whatever.
Speaker 2: The guy at the counter, who was rude as hell,
Speaker 2: she asked him at least fifteen questions about tolls and
Speaker 2: what it was going to be like, and they were
Speaker 2: taking it to Canada, and what kind of insurance she
Speaker 2: should have. You could tell she was so detailed. She
Speaker 2: was German, so she had all her ducks in a row.
Speaker 2: She was literally going through and she looked back at
Speaker 2: me and said, I'm sorry, I just I need to
Speaker 2: make sure I have everything straight. I said, it's fine,
Speaker 2: it's fine, no worries. Because she knew she was like
Speaker 2: holding up the line. And then and only then he said, oh,
Speaker 2: your reservations for twelve. It was eleven forty five, and
Speaker 2: he said you'll just have to wait and didn't tell
Speaker 2: her that there weren't any cars then, and her poor
Speaker 2: husband and her son there couldn't speak a lick of English,
Speaker 2: so she was the only one communicating. Then the guy
Speaker 2: next who came in line, he said, oh, your reservation
Speaker 2: was for eleven. Sorry, your car's not here, So he
Speaker 2: was making excuses. Then when he came up to me,
Speaker 2: he had he ran out of them, so we had
Speaker 2: to just say to me, point blank, we have no cars.
Speaker 2: And I was like, what the two people before you
Speaker 2: basically kind of blamed them, Oh you're here early, Oh
Speaker 2: you're here late. And then he had no other excuse
Speaker 2: to me other than to say we only hold reservations,
Speaker 2: not vehicles.
Speaker 1: This was egregious. And again this was I understand. Somebody
Speaker 1: tell you go to a restaurant and say, oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: these people stay late and your reservation is going to
Speaker 1: be delayed. I feel we're not talking about mine. Earth
Speaker 1: stuff happens, flight delays, all kinds of you. You're freaking
Speaker 1: flight intendant has a bad attitude because something's going stuff
Speaker 1: happens in business. This was other level and your company
Speaker 1: should not function. No, hey, I don't want to call
Speaker 1: him out, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: And the rude person at the counter said to us,
Speaker 2: this happens every weekend, kind of basically like it's not
Speaker 2: a big deal. This is this is how we operate.
Speaker 2: This one was great, get used to it.
Speaker 1: But the company, I know, people get you to know.
Speaker 1: We'll get We're not black. No, this is an actual
Speaker 1: experience us. This isn't in any way libelous. No, this
Speaker 1: was my experience the company. It starts with an H
Speaker 1: and ends with earths. Okay with the company, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know how we can ever work with the It
Speaker 1: was unbelievad.
Speaker 2: I gave customer service a piece of my mind when
Speaker 2: I had to call and get my money back, and
Speaker 2: I told them that I would never rent with them again.
Speaker 2: I was a gold member that was ending. I just it.
Speaker 2: I will never ever that was rent from that company ever.
Speaker 1: But you know what they gave us. Think it was
Speaker 1: a reason to watch a wonderful Seinfeld episode and we laugh.
Speaker 2: Isn't it funny? Like whatever. That was probably in the
Speaker 2: early nineties, so twenty something years ago, thirty something years ago,
Speaker 2: and still still that's what rental companies are doing thirty
Speaker 2: years later.
Speaker 1: We got in the car so we could head out
Speaker 1: and have a wonderful time and again, yes, spend some
Speaker 1: good family time. But in part of that starts with
Speaker 1: ay frustrating. Yes, man, we've been frustrated before. We've found joy.
Speaker 1: Yeah this week, but yeah, it's a even without traffic,
Speaker 1: it's a two and a half hour drive. Put traffic
Speaker 1: in there. It's two lane road getting out to where
Speaker 1: we are, and it became.
Speaker 2: A doozy like a four hour drive basically, but it
Speaker 2: was uneventful and at least our tire didn't go flat.
Speaker 2: There were other things to have perspective over. After we
Speaker 2: had that experience, it was just like, let's just get
Speaker 2: there and be grateful that we're finally somewhere other than Manhattan.
Speaker 1: We get to where we're a look, this is a
Speaker 1: blessing and you and I have I guess we probably
Speaker 1: do this once or twice a year. We make our
Speaker 1: way up to upstate New York, somewhere along island to
Speaker 1: just send a weekend on the lake and just get
Speaker 1: some sun to get out of the city. It's always good.
Speaker 1: A lot of people from the city do that. But
Speaker 1: this has been a week long venture and it's been
Speaker 1: cool to have family but also friends in and out
Speaker 1: because your daughters have had like a revolving door of
Speaker 1: friends coming in. Yes, that's been really cool actually this week.
Speaker 2: Yes. And the cool thing is they actually, I think
Speaker 2: are probably appreciative of the fact that we have to
Speaker 2: go to bed around nine pm each night because we
Speaker 2: have to get up so early to do morning run.
Speaker 2: So they've kind of had the house to themselves to
Speaker 2: enjoy watch movies, kind of feel like, you know, they're
Speaker 2: renting their own mon talk home, you know, the twenty
Speaker 2: somethings that they are, hahaha. But yes, it's been fun
Speaker 2: because we've had to have We've had some fun time
Speaker 2: with them, but they've also gotten some alone time i think,
Speaker 2: without us, which I'm sure they're appreciative of.
Speaker 1: But a big part of what we do, and look,
Speaker 1: this is what parents do. We want to feed kids
Speaker 1: as my parents do. I know what your parents do
Speaker 1: when we go home. But it's weird to be in
Speaker 1: that position now, to have people of that age expecting
Speaker 1: food from you, and you always oblige you.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we have every every time, like you've been
Speaker 2: the girl master as you usually are, and the chef
Speaker 2: as well. But every time you put down a plate
Speaker 2: of anything, it's hilarious. It's like a feeding friends. You know,
Speaker 2: when you go to feed your fish in the fish
Speaker 2: tank and you put the fish food and they all
Speaker 2: just come up and got That's exactly what happens with
Speaker 2: these kids, you know, now that they've got off to
Speaker 2: college or you know, actually Ava and Ry are about
Speaker 2: to go off on their own, they're so aware of
Speaker 2: how expensive food is and how difficult and time consuming
Speaker 2: it is to prepare it that they're extra quick to
Speaker 2: just be like whoo food free food. So yes, it's
Speaker 2: been fun to watch them be appreciative.
Speaker 1: It's a compliment when people eat your food. Of course,
Speaker 1: my issue I always take with the girls, Oh yes.
Speaker 2: Just give me a heads up that you want food
Speaker 2: that you're starving.
Speaker 1: I ask them ahead of time, is anybody else eating
Speaker 1: this is what I'm making. I don't get a response,
Speaker 1: and then I make enough for two and then I
Speaker 1: end up not eating that.
Speaker 2: It happens multiple times my food, but.
Speaker 1: No it's a joy and it's fun, and this has
Speaker 1: been good and we just I don't know. The friends
Speaker 1: that your daughters have at this point are family. They've
Speaker 1: been around so long and even for me at this
Speaker 1: point have known them throughout their lives. It's really really
Speaker 1: cool to be able to hang with them like this.
Speaker 1: And there, I always say to the man hopes to
Speaker 1: being at some point has friends like Annals in particular,
Speaker 1: has because they just good kids. Like all of them
Speaker 1: that show up here, bring a bottle of something or
Speaker 1: bring some kind of gift to say thank you. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're grateful.
Speaker 2: It's a good they were raised well. And the other
Speaker 2: the other perk of having I've always let the girls usually,
Speaker 2: if we have the space to do it, you can
Speaker 2: bring one friend. And part of it is selfish on
Speaker 2: my end, because I know when they each bring one friend,
Speaker 2: it changes the dynamic a lot of times. If you
Speaker 2: all have siblings and multiple kids, you know that the
Speaker 2: fighting sometimes it goes on. I feel like it doesn't
Speaker 2: even matter how old they are. They go and fall
Speaker 2: back into their same dynamics. When they have friends with them,
Speaker 2: they're on their best behavior. They're not fighting with each other,
Speaker 2: and that to me was always like my secret sauce
Speaker 2: in a nice congenial vacation where there isn't arguing or yelling.
Speaker 2: When they have friends, every buddy seems to be happier
Speaker 2: and more peaceful. It changes the dynamic.
Speaker 1: It's strategic, but I do I love the kids and
Speaker 1: I love having the kids around, and it's analyse is
Speaker 1: the only other one here driving? You haven't been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of driving, and this is entirely too much parenting.
Speaker 1: But every time she walked out the door and then
Speaker 1: walked in the door, the first thing I say to her.
Speaker 2: What's the tire pressure pressure? We're concerned. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: not a lot of real estate. You don't have to
Speaker 2: go too many miles to get anywhere here. It's usually
Speaker 2: between a five and a ten minute drive. But still, yes,
Speaker 2: the tire pressure continues to haunt us.
Speaker 1: This is this rental car is driving me. The problem
Speaker 1: was caused by one company, but we actually are renting
Speaker 1: from another company that starts with an A and ends
Speaker 1: with a VIS.
Speaker 2: So they have, by the way, because I called them
Speaker 2: and gave them a mirorful and so at least they
Speaker 2: have given us a discount in two days off. So
Speaker 2: we got something, but what.
Speaker 1: Was it we wanted to what was the limit on
Speaker 1: how much to want to replace the tire?
Speaker 2: They would only give two hundred dollars to replace its
Speaker 2: h and it was going to cost three hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty dollars to do it here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're in my talk.
Speaker 2: The place ain't cheap, right exactly, So I'm not eating
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty dollars to give them a brand
Speaker 2: new tire. So yes, we're just gonna keep filling it
Speaker 2: back up every day, and.
Speaker 1: We pray we get back to Manhattan all right when
Speaker 1: we have to drive. But folks, yeah, all that stuff
Speaker 1: was fun and fine and dandy. But a couple of
Speaker 1: the highlights of the week unexpectedly. First, if anybody has
Speaker 1: listened to us for any period of time, you know
Speaker 1: Robot loves hiking. You know that I'm black. We ended
Speaker 1: up on a hike this week and I rather enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to tell you about that. And also, we
Speaker 1: introduce a new generation to maybe one of the greatest
Speaker 1: horror movie franchises of all time.
Speaker 2: Before we go to break, I have to tell you
Speaker 2: about new leggings. I've been living in lately. They're from
Speaker 2: this brand called Tona, and fun fact here they were
Speaker 2: actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon, so from
Speaker 2: that alone, you already know they're gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 2: These leggings feel like a second skin. They're super flattering,
Speaker 2: super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been wearing them
Speaker 2: on my warning runs and they've quickly become my everyday
Speaker 2: lounging leggings too. And here's what makes them even better.
Speaker 2: Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling
Speaker 2: session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission
Speaker 2: to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think
Speaker 2: is so important and incredible, so we've partnered with Tona
Speaker 2: to give you twenty percent off your order and free shipping.
Speaker 2: Head to tonaactive dot com and use code iHeart for
Speaker 2: twenty percent off and free shipping. Welcome back everyone to
Speaker 2: your recovery run on this Saturday. We come to you
Speaker 2: from a beautiful, breezy, sunny mom talk along Island. We
Speaker 2: are in active recovery mode while we're working, so I
Speaker 2: mean you can do both. Sometimes you can relax and
Speaker 2: work at the same time, So we're attempting to do
Speaker 2: that while we record this recovery run. But yes, tech
Speaker 2: sometimes if you're in the right setting, with the right person,
Speaker 2: with the perfect temperature and the perfect distance, hiking can
Speaker 2: be fun for everyone.
Speaker 1: Hiking can be fun for everyone. Hiking. I know you
Speaker 1: love hiking. Will you define hiking for me again?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: Is it just walking through trees and shit?
Speaker 2: It's walking through beautiful topography that makes you feel connected
Speaker 2: to mother Earth and nature and to one another. Because
Speaker 2: you usually end up talking, you're in the moment, you're present, but.
Speaker 1: You're walking, essentially walking through the woods.
Speaker 2: You're walking through the woods you can walk through. But
Speaker 2: also you could be walking through the desert. That's gonna
Speaker 2: be hiking as well.
Speaker 1: But generally speaking in this country when we're talking about hiking,
Speaker 1: it's usually in the world I'm talking about. But it
Speaker 1: does it need to be at elevation?
Speaker 2: No? I usually like that, but sometimes no, you could
Speaker 2: just it could be fairly flat. You could be hiking
Speaker 2: on a shoreline, you know, on a cliff. You could
Speaker 2: be walking. It doesn't have to always be uphill, Okay,
Speaker 2: And you.
Speaker 1: And I talk about this all the time. I'm just
Speaker 1: it's something I've never I'm from Arkansas. I've lived in
Speaker 1: places where that's very popular. Hell, even the Bay Area, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Little Rock, Arkansas, the place, even Atlanta, the.
Speaker 2: Place is well, oh yeah, North Georgia mountains where the.
Speaker 1: Hiking is a thing. I'm just not a hiker. I
Speaker 1: know black people hike, but I always joke with you
Speaker 1: about things.
Speaker 2: Like that, and I say it, and I say, white people, shit, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going.
Speaker 1: Out in the woods just just to walk and what Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just not my thing. It's okay, but I respect
Speaker 1: that you do it to the point that I also
Speaker 1: want to be able to compromise, and I want to
Speaker 1: this is something she loves to do. I don't want
Speaker 1: you to be denied something you want to do, and
Speaker 1: it needs to be separate from a relationship that you
Speaker 1: love being.
Speaker 2: It right right, Yeah, Well, it's something I love to
Speaker 2: do and I want I would prefer to have the
Speaker 2: person I love, yes, be along for the walks or
Speaker 2: the ride or that.
Speaker 1: I expect that, and I think I whine pre hike,
Speaker 1: but once we actually take them, I'm I'm not an
Speaker 1: issue and I enjoy myself. Just fine. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you all day and say I don't want to ever
Speaker 1: go to hike. I don't want to hike. I don't
Speaker 1: want hike. Then we would get there.
Speaker 2: We're good, yes, and look and we'll baby steps this one.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is we've done short hikes like I've
Speaker 2: never asked you to do, like a a an arduous hike,
Speaker 2: one that goes, you know, for fifteen hours and fifteen miles.
Speaker 2: I've done those, and those are really, really tough. I
Speaker 2: actually think you might like that because there's a challenge,
Speaker 2: a physical challenge.
Speaker 1: Ten hours of walking.
Speaker 2: Huh, well that was a that was yeah.
Speaker 1: Is that one way or around trip?
Speaker 2: Well that's round trip? Okay, yes, if you're not camping
Speaker 2: where you're hiking too, which I know I would never
Speaker 2: I would never ask you to do that. We're not
Speaker 2: there yet anyway. The funny thing is we got on
Speaker 2: this hike and I got a little nervous because I
Speaker 2: don't want to put you in a position where I
Speaker 2: ask you to go on hike and then it ends
Speaker 2: up being an awful hike. So I want to make
Speaker 2: sure if you were saying yes, yes exactly. I don't
Speaker 2: want to repeat the first hike I took you on,
Speaker 2: which was a mosquito ridden boring, awful hike. This one
Speaker 2: I knew was going to have a beautiful view in
Speaker 2: the end, but I wasn't exactly sure how long it was,
Speaker 2: and so I got nervous because it looked like it
Speaker 2: was going to be a long distance. And you went
Speaker 2: and looked up on the on the satellite and you said,
Speaker 2: it's a seven minute hike. I'm like, cool, and I
Speaker 2: knew that we were gonna have a great time, which
Speaker 2: we did.
Speaker 1: You all should have seen the really really wash over
Speaker 1: her when I said it's only seven minutes to get
Speaker 1: to where we needed to be. And it was fine,
Speaker 1: and it was fine, and we laughed and we talked
Speaker 1: and we joked, and you couldn't be looking down at
Speaker 1: your phone and you had to focus and pay attention
Speaker 1: to what you were doing and where you were stepping,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, you're present. Yeah I did enjoy it.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't It wasn't an elevator. We weren't climbing
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It was simply were just in plane.
Speaker 2: It's sneakers, yeah, sneakers, so we didn't have to have
Speaker 2: hiking boots or anything like that. So and your foot
Speaker 2: even was hurting a little bit from the run we
Speaker 2: did earlier, and you one on the hike, so I
Speaker 2: appreciated it. But yeah, I just always feel centered and
Speaker 2: connected and in the moment when I'm hiking, and that's
Speaker 2: why I love doing it so much.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the lo we have did, we've struggled with
Speaker 1: the kids this week here right here in man talking
Speaker 1: that we we have continued to work, so we're still
Speaker 1: getting up at three, yeah, three point thirty four in
Speaker 1: the morning and working and by the time the kids
Speaker 1: see us when they wake up at ten am, we've
Speaker 1: recorded two three podcast episodes, have had a big breakfast,
Speaker 1: just ran five miles and we're in.
Speaker 2: A different place, been to town, gotten coffee, everything. Like we are.
Speaker 2: We are more than ready to be in the middle
Speaker 2: of our day.
Speaker 1: So this is kind of cool that the kids have
Speaker 1: asked us constantly and repeatedly to do things with them
Speaker 1: and hang out with them. And some of it has
Speaker 1: to do if they just want us to pay for
Speaker 1: some stuff, but other things they wanted to stay up
Speaker 1: late watch a movie or they wants to play cards.
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with but they do genuinely
Speaker 1: like hang out with us, and that's we're fun. Proud
Speaker 1: of that. Yes, So we had one big big thing
Speaker 1: they wanted to do this week and one big big
Speaker 1: thing we wanted to do with them this week and
Speaker 1: the one and we ended up doing it both the
Speaker 1: same night. So we planned all this out road. We said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get up a certain time, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: so much work done, We're gonna maybe take a nap,
Speaker 1: We'll do a five hour energy here we do the
Speaker 1: espresso martini at this time. But we had a carnival
Speaker 1: to go to and then we were gonna go to
Speaker 1: a movie afterwards. So you take the carnival.
Speaker 2: Yes, So we actually got a big uber XL which
Speaker 2: was nice so that we could all have some fun
Speaker 2: go down to the carnival. And Yeah, some of the
Speaker 2: ride choices I made I regret, but it was still fun.
Speaker 2: It always feels like a kid. It actually felt like
Speaker 2: a movie set going to this carnival. It was, but
Speaker 2: they had some very fun rides that spinned a lot
Speaker 2: that TJ was wise to stay off of that. I
Speaker 2: was thinking that I would be just fine if I
Speaker 2: went on.
Speaker 1: And yeah, because after a number of Morgarita's I thought
Speaker 1: it was a bad idea. To get on a ride
Speaker 1: called alien abduction, which solely is trying to get you
Speaker 1: to feel like it might feel if you were in space.
Speaker 1: And the way they accomplished that is by putting you
Speaker 1: in this capsule and closing it off through the outside
Speaker 1: world and spinning that sucker as fast as you can
Speaker 1: while you are attached to the wall of that saucer.
Speaker 1: Do I have the ride right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So you actually end up feeling weightless, like your body
Speaker 2: flies up in its g force truly. So it was fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as I got strapped to the wall,
Speaker 2: I was regretting my decision. I just thought that maybe
Speaker 2: this wasn't a good idea. As soon as I got
Speaker 2: wrapped to the wall.
Speaker 1: Had context and if somebody uses that as the headline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as I got strapped to the wall,
Speaker 2: you'd think I knew I'd made a bad decision.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So that happened. But the girls were like, you'll be fine, mom,
Speaker 2: you'll be fine. They're on either side of me, and
Speaker 2: I obviously I was fine. And it was definitely worse
Speaker 2: and scarier and more upsetting than I thought it was
Speaker 2: going to be.
Speaker 1: In part because you had just as much Marguerite as
Speaker 1: I had.
Speaker 2: That day, right, So I got out. I was fine initially,
Speaker 2: but about ten minutes later, I got this massive wave
Speaker 2: of nausea and I actually had to leave the park.
Speaker 2: You came with me, and I thought I might have
Speaker 2: to vomit. I was fine, but I needed I needed
Speaker 2: about ten ten minutes to have my whole body just
Speaker 2: kind of reacclimate. I got sweaty. Oh, it was bad,
Speaker 2: and I just yeah, And then you were kind of
Speaker 2: you looked at me like I told you so.
Speaker 1: I didn't do it, And I told you so because
Speaker 1: you weren't doing well.
Speaker 2: I wasn't doing well.
Speaker 1: You would give me hell about not being on this rise.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I know my stomach and I don't know
Speaker 1: why I would do that to it right now put
Speaker 1: it in a blender.
Speaker 2: Yes, but okay, so that sounds horrible, but it was
Speaker 2: still fun. Like, honestly, you have to take out the
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes where I thought I was gonna puke. But
Speaker 2: we had fun walking around and it was a blast.
Speaker 2: We had a like it was just pcorn. Yeah. When
Speaker 2: my stomach recovered, I was definitely into that popcorn. It
Speaker 2: tasted amazing for carnival games. Yes, who doesn't want to do.
Speaker 1: That dupid stuffed animal?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think all the kids ended up with the
Speaker 2: stuffed animal, didn't they?
Speaker 1: I think? And there's one on the stairs back here.
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Yes, but it was just old school family fun that
Speaker 2: we weren't even anticipating. And Anial has had to really
Speaker 2: beg us to go to this carnival because it wasn't
Speaker 2: something we wanted necessarily to do, but ended up having
Speaker 2: a blast.
Speaker 1: I'm very glad she did, so we The other thing
Speaker 1: we you and I really wanted to do was watch
Speaker 1: Final Destination Bloodlines, a movie the most recent in the
Speaker 1: Final Destination franchise, but you and I saw it at
Speaker 1: the theaters and it is up there, certainly the best
Speaker 1: in the Final Destination, absolutely, but it is up there
Speaker 1: for us in the terms of ranks of one of
Speaker 1: the best horror movies we have seen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's amazing to us because our kids like
Speaker 2: horror movies that they had never seen any of the
Speaker 2: Final Destination franchise movies. However. Look, the beginning ones are
Speaker 2: campy and maybe not the highest production value, but they're
Speaker 2: so good, Like they're so good obviously they've upped the
Speaker 2: game significantly in this final, this latest edition, but we
Speaker 2: had them watch it and they were into it. They
Speaker 2: were and it was fun to see them enjoying it
Speaker 2: because they're like, what is this movie? Huh? And they
Speaker 2: really got into it and loved it.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes they were screaming at the screen and it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, don't do that. Oh why was you?
Speaker 1: They were so I was so happy to see that
Speaker 1: we passed on and introduce something to them and we
Speaker 1: saw them enjoy it genuinely.
Speaker 2: That much Is it concerning that we should be proud
Speaker 2: that we are continuing to introduce our children to horror movies.
Speaker 2: But you know, I feel like it just makes for
Speaker 2: a better family movie night, because then everybody wins if
Speaker 2: everybody enjoys them.
Speaker 1: Speaking of family movie night, we're about to rent out
Speaker 1: a theater so we can watch Weapons.
Speaker 2: They cannot wait.
Speaker 1: Everybody's excited about this and the whole crew is going
Speaker 1: to be together for friends, family. Everybody can come.
Speaker 2: To this one Weapons, and it's highly reviewed and one
Speaker 2: of my favorite actresses who I loved in Ozark, she's
Speaker 2: in it. So this is going to be so good. Yes,
Speaker 2: so yeah, I started having my having, I started introducing
Speaker 2: my daughters to Harry Potter films and then kind of
Speaker 2: went up to the conjuring. And they've just always loved
Speaker 2: horror movies. It's just made choices so much easier.
Speaker 1: My daughter's twelve, and she's into it.
Speaker 2: She loves horror movies. Her first movie was The Pope's Exorcism, right,
Speaker 2: or the Pope's Exorcist.
Speaker 1: Movie was The Pope's Exorcists Exorcist.
Speaker 2: Okay, Russell different.
Speaker 1: Different, Sorry that I want to make that clear, Russell
Speaker 1: Crow Crow, don't come after us, Okay, but yeah, that
Speaker 1: was She started it because she would reject that she
Speaker 1: didn't want to watch horror movies. She watched one and
Speaker 1: I think we had fallen asleep on the.
Speaker 2: Couch that she kept watching, and she.
Speaker 1: Watched damn near that whole thing by herself. After that,
Speaker 1: been hooked on horror movies.
Speaker 2: Now we have three girls. God, we all love horror movies.
Speaker 2: Yay us, yay parenting.
Speaker 1: All right, folks, Well, whatever you did this week, I
Speaker 1: certainly hope you got a little recovery. And it's always important. Look,
Speaker 1: we have fun and we passed as along. But we're
Speaker 1: working on it, just like many of you are, trying
Speaker 1: to make sure we find some time to smell the
Speaker 1: roads sometime, if you will, but also appreciate what we
Speaker 1: have and who's right next to us sometimes. Well.
