WEBVTT - Eclipses, Earthquakes, and an International Flight 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.880 Welcome everybody to Amy and TJ coming to you from 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:09.440 Los Angeles once again. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.240 Whis in two weeks? How are you feeling? 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:12.559 DJ? 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.040 I feel like we're bi coastal. This podcast is now 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.200 bi coastal. This is the fast five podcast we've recorded, 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.880 including this one. Three out of the past five have 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.160 been recorded in Los Angeles. That feels by coastal. 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.760 It certainly does. And yet we've had a heck of 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.320 a few days in New York. Lots of this hasn't 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.760 happened in one hundred years. First actually in New York, 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.680 and it all began. I guess with the earthquake that 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.879 you felt and I didn't. And where were you when 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:45.360 it all hit? 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.559 Oh? I was in on the twenty seventh floor of 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.400 my place. Felt a little sway, thought it was there's 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.559 some construction work going on, so I thought it was 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.720 those guys. But but no, Now, I never would have 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.040 crossed my mind that it was actually an earthquake. And 0:00:59.160 --> 0:00:59.880 everybody was all the. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:05.160 Course until you heard like everyone's phones went into massive 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.800 emergency alert mode, which is always jarring. I was on 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.440 the second floor of a building getting some well. I 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.360 was at my anesthetician's office, which is basically not quite 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.960 a dermatologist, but someone who helps you stay young. And 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.600 I was getting a procedure done called micro needling, So 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.880 I had needles going into my face when the earthquake hit, 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.120 and so thank goodness, I didn't feel a thing, because 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.480 I actually later on thought what would that have actually 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.759 been like had something shook or moved. I had radio frequents, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.560 like they are these needles that go into your skin, 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.400 like fairly deeply, and they just put out radio frequency 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.720 vibes into your skin into supposed to like stimulate your 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.280 own collagen and keep you looking young. But anyway, can 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.480 you imagine I was getting that done when the earthquake hit. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.600 Thank goodness, I didn't feel a thing. Thank goodness. Our 0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.440 buildings are. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.440 Well supposedly most of them earthquake proof. We'll see they 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.400 haven't been fully tested. But five point eight on the 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.000 Richter scale, and didn't feel a thing. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.000 It was a five point eight, Yes, oh, I didn't 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.960 realize it was that. That's a very serious earthquake. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:12.919 So there wasn't. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.560 Yeah, it's been eighteen eighty four, was the last one 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.000 that hit five point zero or above? And so you know, 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.200 they always say you're due your dual. Anyway, we got that. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.560 Apparently there were some aftershocks felt none of those. I 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.160 felt nothing. I was a little disappointed. I kind of 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.560 wanted to feel the swaying. But you didn't even realize 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.320 it was an earthquake. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.520 No, I mean, you got could tell there was swaying. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.520 It's just a matter you don't think in New York. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.160 I've been in two earthquakes in my life. That was 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.000 the second, but that was you don't The first thought 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.200 is never. I felt strong winds in New York before 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.239 on the in a high rise and you feel a 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.040 little swaying, but there's no way the first thing that 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:50.480 crosses your mind is an earthquake. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.560 So we were all okay, got text from my mom. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.320 Do you get text from people checking in on you 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:55.400 making sure you were okay? 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.040 Not really actually all right? 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.360 Well, my mom definitely checked in on me to make 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.320 sure we were okay. And that all worked out. So 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.240 that was that started off a couple of days of 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.560 some madness. March madness actually continued this weekend and I 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.040 really got into the women's games. We had some fun 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.440 watching that, and I also had some fun watching the 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.320 men's games for another reason. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.680 Which was, Well, let's just say this. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.400 You've told me that you've never enjoyed watching basketball so 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.400 much because I point out all the things that are 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.440 not sports related. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.720 I just say that to you. It's it's it's it's no, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.520 I don't like watching basketball like that. You you point 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.920 out the color of the guy's shoes. You got me 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.040 focused on woman on the fourth row. I'm missing the 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.440 game because you're pointing out some oddities in the game. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.080 You distract me from the game. So it's hilarious. Don't 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.440 get me wrong, but yeah, you focus on everything except basketball. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.320 Well, I do like to watch the game, but when 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.040 it's a little slow or they're missing their shots, I 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.760 like to maybe just look at some of the local color. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.720 I got really into the commentators this time. I actually 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.040 had a running list, because I don't know if anyone 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.440 else out there who I mean. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.599 I've always watched sports. I love college football. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.840 My dad and my brother were a big sports watchers, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.839 so it's not some new foreign thing to me. But 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:27.800 I've never watched this much sports like this much basketball, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.760 Like we don't miss a game, or you definitely don't 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.119 miss a game, and I don't think I've missed many 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:37.000 But what I kind of started finding a little funny 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.760 was if anyone else just can listen to the commentators, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:46.280 there are so many sexual innuendos that they make when 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.440 they're talking. I don't know if it goes for all 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.839 sports or if it's just basketball, but there were a 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.920 lot of phrases that were and you were noticing them 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:56.599 too correct. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.520 Uh, no, you were pointing them out. But I've been 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.640 watching by bsketball my entire life. I've never heard some 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.039 of the things you pointed out. With the last few. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.800 Days, there's a lot like pounded it in down below, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.039 might as well ride him while he's on the floor. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.320 They'll take it anyway they can get it, massages it 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.000 with his left hand. I mean, we were having some 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.919 fun with it. It was kind of like NonStop if you 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.200 really listen for it. Anyway, if anyone's bored and they're 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.520 watching a game, if you just listen for this, it 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.520 actually is quite funny because it never disappoints. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:30.720 It hasn't yet. 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.440 Again, it's not if you're watching the basketball game. All 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:39.640 that stuff makes perfect thing, no sexual connotation at all. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.839 He massages it in with his left hand. A guy 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.760 shot a hook shot with his left hand and it 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.240 barely just got over the front of the rim, so 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.120 it massage. He massaged it in. He eased it in 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.760 with his left hand. The other guy, he was hot 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.800 on the floor. I think he was in foul trouble. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.520 So hey, you keep feeding them and you might as 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.760 well ride him while he's on the floor. That all 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.240 makes perfect sense if you're a sports fan. You're a 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.400 basketball fan, and that never in life did any of 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.400 those things have any sexual connotation until you started pointing 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:12.200 all this stuff out. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.159 But then I just think it adds some levity and 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.719 some fun. You can still concentrate on the game, and 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.720 if you just keep your air out for that, it's 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.440 just an extra layer of fun. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.760 Just I don't need it. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:24.600 I get it. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.760 I'll get what you're saying. You're not a man. I 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.800 know it's fine. You're not necessarily a basket you and 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.760 just watch a basket. You need other things to entertain you, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.599 to keep you engaged. Same thing with Sabine. Sometimes watching 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.880 football with me, she'll point out some silly stuff on 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.200 a stat or something on the bottom of the screen. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.560 I'm not paying attention to because she's not necessarily into 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.200 the game. What you're saying makes sense, makes a perfect sense, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.520 and you got to kick out of it. But if 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.560 it keeps you on the couch watching the game and engaged, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.160 I'm okay with it. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:47.440 Yeah. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.560 And it's like I think this all came out of 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.719 it's not just watching a game, it's watching lots and 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.960 lots and lots of games. So anyway, I found a 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.200 way to make it even extra fun for myself and 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:57.800 enjoyed this weekend a lot. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.159 What did you think of the games? What did you 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:00.359 think of the comes? 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.520 I was very disappointed in the National Championship because you 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.920 wait all year, I watched basketball all year. You're waiting 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.760 for the championship game. You'd like for it to be 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.720 a little more competitive. Yukon is unreal. So they just 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.920 they made the game not a game. There's that good. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.440 So the run they've been on back to back championships, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.800 congrats to Yukon for what they pulled off is really 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.360 really impressive. But as a basketball fan who didn't have 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.400 a dog in the fight that was Arkansas playing, sure 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.960 I want them to blow somebody out, but anybody else playing, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.160 I would like to see a competitive game. But they 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.760 were impressive and on the women's side. That was the 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:43.720 marquee Final four, Yukon women against Iowa and Kaitlyn Clark. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.400 Paige Becker's from Yukon against Kaitlyn Clark. Just what the 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.280 women have done with the game now, they are the 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.760 they are the highlights. They are the one that was 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.880 a more interesting final four. You know my schedule. I 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.960 scheduled my day completely around watching women's basketball and canceled 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.080 plans with some people because of women's college basketball. It's 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.120 just what they've done is unreal. And if you're not 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.200 paying attention, I hope you continue. It's not just about 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.960 Caitlin Clark. Yes, she got people involved, but man, I 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.360 hope that this brings more and more eyeballs to women's 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.920 college basketball and women's basketball in general. But this is 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:24.040 just an unbelievable run. And I applaud South Carolina. Congratulations 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.840 Dawn Staley what they've done. But it's just the women's 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.040 game is unreal right now. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:41.200 And you have said this, you prefer watching the women 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.240 play to the men. I really got into it. It 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.120 was so fun to be We actually went out for 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:51.520 that game and to see this bar packed in Manhattan, men, women, old, young, 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:57.240 you know, all everyone coming together to cheer on women's basketball. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.880 That wouldn't have happened five years ago, would it have 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.200 ten years ago? I mean, this is a fairly new 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.960 phenomenon and to what do you attribute that? 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.240 And does it have legs? 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.600 No, it's a matter of I mean, they're hardcore basketball 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:13.160 fans who have followed the women's game. Now it's just 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.320 brought more people in to watch a college women's college 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:22.480 game in January versus just watching March Madness. Right, Kaitlyn 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.720 clark Is, she's completely responded on stay leave South Carolina. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.240 But you go back to pat Summit and Tennessee, you 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.120 go back to what Gino Arama has done at Yukon. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.160 I mean there's been eyes on women's college basketball, but 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.079 nothing like this before. So yeah, Caitlyn is just I mean, 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.200 you know the nil stuff. Kids are being being able 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.960 to be in commercials now. I think that's been the issue. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.680 I think you always you need to invest in the 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.200 players and making them the highlight reel. So I've always 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:56.479 I've preferred to watch women's college basketball over NBA basketball 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.400 during the regular season NBA playoffs than mere love that 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.880 high intensity. But during the year, the beauty of the 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.520 college game and the women's game. It's been there for 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.680 a long time, just some people are starting to pay 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:09.120 more attention. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.760 Well, it was fun going out with you and seeing 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.240 that and just honestly seeing I was noticing tables full 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.480 of girls. You know, they weren't on dates, they weren't 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.080 with their boyfriends. These girls got out together to come 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.440 cheer on the women. It was just it was really fun. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.960 It was really cool to watch. And you mentioned, you know, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.040 you schedule your day around We've scheduled our weeks, our 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.720 weekends around these games. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.880 And there was a little opening. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.760 Was it on Sunday and we got to see something 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.600 that we were both very excited about. It was the 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.120 first OMEN, so we got to mix a little sports 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.959 and a little horror movie and it did not disappoint. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.840 I've always said my favorite horror movie of all time 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.040 goes back to Gregory Peck The OMEN, the original, and 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.319 we actually rewatched it again just to get ready for it, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.840 and then you know, you just think it's not going 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.760 to be as good, it's going to disappoint, and it 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.200 was awesome. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:00.959 It was so good. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.040 Highly recommend if you're a horror movie fan. It was 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.400 It was so good. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:13.080 What did you think, Oh, the first time it's I 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.880 was disappointed, not in the movie going into it. How 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:21.400 people were putting Immaculate against the first omen uh none 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.880 what they call it, none exploitation what they call it. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.120 But it's pitting them against each other, just saying, well, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.319 they're kind of the same concept. And if you see 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.880 this when you're probably not going to see that one. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.199 But the movie, don't know. The movie did not disappoint 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:42.920 in the least bit. It is I mean, wow, we 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.200 we we saw a disappointing horror movie not too long ago. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.120 Yeah we did. 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.720 I don't want to not We were looking forward to 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.880 it for so long and it was a dud. This 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.720 was not one of them. This one delivered, so job 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.760 well done. I don't want to not do what the 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:56.280 movie was. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.400 I was just gonna say what it was because it 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.120 was kind of funny that we had high hopes for 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.080 it in the first place, if you think about the concept, 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.240 but I get it, I get it. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.679 Yeah, but no, no, But for the first OMEN highly recommended. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.599 It didn't have the greatest weekend opening weekend at the 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.400 box office, but we are here endorsing and pushing and 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.760 plugging and by all means, go see that movie, the 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.600 first Omen, especially if you liked the first the original 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:19.280 excuse me. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.719 Yeah, because they even paid homage to Gregory Peck. I 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.440 mean they weave in the story so well so that 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.240 it literally ends, because it's a prequel obviously the first Omen, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.520 it ends going straight into the original OMEN in such 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.440 a perfect way. They did such a good job. We 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.679 liked it so much we went home and then watched 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.200 the OMEN two just to kind of continue the fun. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.079 So anyway, it really got us back into that groove 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.920 and that series of horror movies that I absolutely love. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.400 And so I was just I love it when you 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.920 don't get disappointed when you're looking forward to a movie 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.000 and then it's maybe even better than you thought. It was, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.480 So hats off to everyone involved in the first moment 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.760 because I can't wait to actually watch it again when 0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:59.319 it's streaming. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.400 So that's how good it was. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:05.600 And then, oh my goodness, we had a total solar eclipse. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.080 It was ninety percent in New York City. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.800 No, it was well, I mean that was I don't 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.959 know what to call that. It was eclipse mania to 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.760 a certain degree. For a little while. All the we 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.920 were part of that for so long, the mania in 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.520 building something out being a part of the media networks, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.320 and I mean they had countdowns going for a week. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.560 I swear to God about it coming, and but it's 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.440 just I can't get away from it. It's just so 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.280 rare that we in this country, or even in town 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.000 states wherever you are, that we have such a communal 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.840 event like that, to where everybody is on board and 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.920 excited about something and not us versus them, and we're 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.760 not on different sides or something. And I likened it 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.760 in New York to the to the New York City Marathon. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.160 It's it's rare that we just have the community, the 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.960 whole city come together for something like that, and it 0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.760 was fun to see. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:00.600 I agree. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.640 And the cool thing is, yes, this is the first 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:07.920 time where we got to actually just participate. We got 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.800 to just be spectators. We weren't covering it like we'd 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.800 always done before. You were actually where were you the 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000 last there was an eclipse? A few years back? You 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.400 actually went to one of the epicenters now in Indiana, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.360 So you were working, we were all working. The last 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.680 it wasn't a total solar eclipse. I don't believe it 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.200 was a partial one, correct this one though, this one 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:29.800 was the total. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:30.520 But so was. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.400 This hadn't happened in New York City again in nearly 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.680 one hundred years, I believe. So this was a big, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.320 big deal and I had so much fun. We you 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.040 and I went to lunch. We kind of planned a 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.040 whole day around the eclipse. We walked over to the 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.000 West Side Highway. We staked out a little spot on 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.160 one of the piers, and the cool thing was watching 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.720 everybody come out whatever they were doing. And I liked 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.760 watching people watching the eclipse. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.120 That was like super fun. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.400 We had to share us a of glasses because we 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.080 only had one pair that Simene gave us. 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.040 So while you were looking around. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.680 I was looking we were able to kind of look 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.920 around and watch people just be in awe of mother nature. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.480 I think it sounds a little sappy, but when you're 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.760 looking up at something like that, you are forced to 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.560 recognize that we're a little ball floating around in the 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.520 middle of the sky in space, and just how small 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.280 we all are, but how a part of this larger 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.840 universe we are. So it kind of gives you this 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:32.960 like crazy perspective when you're looking at this unbelievable event happened, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.920 and I don't know, I just felt it felt like 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.400 a moment where you felt connected not just to everyone 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.880 around you all watching it, but to the universe and beyond. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.240 Did you feel any of that? 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.720 I didn't feel, okay, a single bit. I got a 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.680 little cold when the moon covered the sun. The temperature 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.000 dropped pretty severely. But yeah, I didn't. I didn't have 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.320 the out of body experience you seem to. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.480 No, it wasn't an out of body it was it 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.320 was actually feeling connected. And funny enough, Yes, I too 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.720 forgot that the sun warms the Earth because it got 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.200 really cool. It didn't get dark, it got a little shaded, 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.240 it didn't get as dark, but it got cold, very cold, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.840 and so we hurried home after the event to get 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.760 back so we could get some sweaters on because it 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.800 was not the warmest event. And I didn't even put 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.400 two and two together that the Sun being blocked by 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.640 the moon would make the temperature drop, but it did. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.120 Indeed. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.000 No, But I don't. I mean, I'm not taking away 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.120 from you or anybody else who had that, you know, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:34.760 having a moment with something like that, and people got people. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.560 I saw people on TV getting men in teers getting 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.560 very emotional and worked up about people proposed at the 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.240 moment that the eclipse was happening. So no, I'm not 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.000 taking away from you and find it silly that you 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.400 were thinking that I just didn't. I just didn't have 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.520 that experience. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.320 Well I wasn't crying or anything like that, but it's 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:54.640 okay if you did. I think, Oh, I do think 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:55.040 it's cool. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.800 I think anytime you recognize just that you're a part 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.600 of something bigger than yourself, I can see where emotion 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.520 comes into play. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.920 Is that what it's like for you watching basketball? 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:12.880 Uh? I always know you say that, I'm always that moment. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.919 You always feel like there's something you're part of, something bigger. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.280 I have to you. I guess over the past couple 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.439 of years, it's I don't know, you know, with all 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.760 the stuff I've been reading and studying and trying to 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.159 do better about and I don't want to call it 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.680 a did aj McClain just set a journey of self 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.720 discovery that sounds so lame, but the idea essentially being 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.160 you start to figure things out as you get older 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.800 and you start to reflect, and that's something I've been 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.240 for a while now realizing just how small we are, 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.840 just how insignificant we are, and we think all of 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.320 our problems are the biggest thing in the world and 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.800 they ain't nothing to nobody. Yeah and so so yeah 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.520 to your point, sometimes something like an eclipse could put 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.000 you back in that moment. But but yeah, it's always 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:01.560 a good reminder. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:13.679 And I think sometimes for me, when I'm feeling overwhelmed 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.399 or getting caught up on something small that's bothering me, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.199 if I just go out and look at the stars. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.280 It's not that easy to do in New York City. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:21.719 Very often, but it's the same kind of a thing 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.399 where you just get this perspective of where we are 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.240 in the world and what we're focused on isn't. 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.879 At all what matters. So I love those moments. It 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.439 was a really cool moment to be a part of. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.679 I was excited to be able to just be in 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.200 New York City for that and be around so many people, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.600 everyone looking up to this guy for some greater meeting, 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.960 or maybe just excited that they got a little time 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.399 off of work in the middle of the day. I 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.639 don't know, whatever it was, it was a really special 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.280 day and I'm just really happy to share it with you. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.240 Oh that's very sweet. No, it was funny. It was funny, 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.840 something that rare. Oh, it's a treat to do something 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.520 like that in New York. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.439 Yeah, and we're about to be a part for the 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.760 first time in a long time for a couple of days. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.600 Everybody needs a break, right, everybody needs a break. 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:09.880 Right. Oh my goodness. 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.560 Maybe we don't even realize we need a break. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.520 Oh my goodness. All right, Well, wow, I wasn't expecting 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:15.480 that as a response. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.679
