Well, okay, now that we have taken care 9 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: of that note.

But I thought that rambling 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: about that here might have not been the best format. 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: So if you want to know about my go to 23 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: sneaker picks. You want to know what's in my rotation, 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: why it is that I love them? Definitely click on 25 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: over to the weekly hurdle over here. However, I decided 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: this week to share a quick story about what was 27 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: going on in my apartment this week. Nothing too scandalous, 28 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: I promise. However, I was working on Wednesday when I 29 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: realized that I had received a few emails letting me 30 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: know that packages were trying to be delivered to my building, 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: which doesn't have a doorman, and usually when there is 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: a delivery person downstairs, they will press the buzzer, I'll 33 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: get a notification up here, I'll let them in. It's easy, breezy. Well, 34 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: turns out I came to learn that since Sunday, my 35 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: buzzer had been broken, which means that it wasn't functioning properly. 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Anyone trying to contact me from downstairs couldn't get through. 37 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting notifications, and man, it was frustrating, and it. 38 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: Was frustrating because, yeah, like you want. 39 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: To know what's happening in your own building, but also 40 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: again on the package's note, things were just getting turned 41 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: away and that can be super frustrating, especially when you've 42 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: been looking forward to said things like a light bulb 43 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: that was for the small lamp in my living room, 44 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: among other highlights. 45 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: I digress. 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: So, of course, when this is happening, the super for 47 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: my building is on vacation. We have a temporary super 48 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: reached out to him. Somehow I became the point person 49 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: for the technician that needed to come here and fix 50 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: the intercom and to boot. He couldn't make it until 51 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: the following day. It was just a string of slightly 52 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: annoying events, one after the other, things that I didn't 53 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: necessarily want to deal with, and I realized when the 54 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: man finally got here yesterday to fix the intercom buzzer, 55 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: I greeted him, and at first it was like I 56 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: snapped a little bit because I was frustrated that it 57 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: had taken so long for him to get here, and 58 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: we had a brief interaction. He looked at my intercom, 59 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: my buzzer inside of my apartment and then went downstairs 60 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: onto the next apartments to figure out where the issue 61 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: was stemming from. And when he walked outside of my apartment, 62 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: I had a moment where I thought to myself, dude, 63 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: he did not deserve that. This man is just trying 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: to do his job. He couldn't get here earlier because 65 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: he had other jobs. He's not the person that's responsible 66 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: for this issue. This is just an issue, and so, 67 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: long story short, he eventually comes back in here after 68 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: he fixes the problem, everything seems to be working fine, 69 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: and before he walked out, I literally said to him, 70 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: I just want you to know I'm sorry if I 71 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: snapped on you a little bit before. I really appreciate 72 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: that you came here to take care of this for us, 73 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: and I hope you have a really great day. And 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: he looked at me and he said, people don't usually 75 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: talk to me that way. I really appreciate that you 76 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: said that, and I was like, yes, that is communication. 77 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: I totally did not expect him to say that back 78 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: to me either. So it's just a really beautiful interaction 79 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: that I had this week and something that reminded me 80 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: that you've just got to do the best you can 81 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: with what you have and to have some grace and 82 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: compassion for the people that you come into contact with, 83 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: because again, we never know what's going on in that 84 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: person's day, their life. They're sitch what they're struggling with 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: and maybe you too can be a positive. 86 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: Note for them. 87 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week, what is one thing 88 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: that you can do to make somebody else's day today? Again, 89 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: what is one single thing that you can do, whether 90 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: it's something that you will say or an action perhaps 91 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: that can make someone else's day today. Highlights of the week, 92 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: you know the drill. All of the links to this 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: stuff can be found in the show notes. First up, 94 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: you've got to send one of these. It's called the 95 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Pinata Gram. Honestly, I got targeted by this company on 96 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Instagram and I knew it was only a matter of 97 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: time until I found the appropriate person to send one 98 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: of these two. Basically, it's literally what it sounds like. 99 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,559 Speaker 1: It's a pinata that you send in the mail. 100 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: Mine cost twenty dollars. Felt like the perfect gift. 101 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if my friend who was supposed to 102 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: get married this weekend, my college roommate is listening to this, 103 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: but if she is, surprise you have a Pinata Graham 104 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: coming your way. 105 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: I just love this idea. I mean, who wouldn't love 106 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: to get a pignata in the mail? 107 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: Next up, you've got to read this article on Witness 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: and respare a personal tragedy followed by a pandemic. It's 109 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: on Vanity Fair. I can't even give it enough justice. Basically, 110 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a novelist who lost her husband and the father of 111 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: her children as COVID really kicked in earlier this year 112 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: wrote about her story and she shares her grief and 113 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: it's just truly, truly touching. Definitely check it out. Next up, 114 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: listen diet starts tomorrow. Is the F Factor backlash deserved? 115 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: I've been getting tagged and pinged by a lot of 116 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: people asking me for my thoughts and my opinion on 117 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: the F Factor diet drama, so to speak. I'll be honest, 118 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm not completely in the loop, but from what I've heard, 119 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I personally wouldn't lean into the F Factor 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: diet or their products, but that's just my takeaway. I 121 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: thought that this podcast from the Betches, I feel so 122 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: weird every time I say that. Anyway, they did a 123 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: really good job of talking about what's happening, diving into 124 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: the particulars, and if you two are like, what is 125 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: this all about? This is a great place to start. 126 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: Next up, watch Tenant Now. This is a new movie 127 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: from Christopher Nolan. Unfortunately, it is not streaming, but it 128 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: is available in theaters. I feel like this is one 129 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: of the first big releases that I've heard of since 130 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: COVID became a thing. I don't know how it's going 131 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: to perform, necessarily considering that a lot of people still 132 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: aren't going to movie theaters. I also know that it's 133 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: not going to be released in Los Angeles or New 134 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: York right away. But the movie seems bomb and it 135 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: seems like something I'd love to watch, and I hope 136 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: that I get this opportunity because it sounds pretty awesome. 137 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: And last, but not least, for this week, play that's 138 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: a fun category. We're not really strangers. If you follow 139 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: me on social you may see me posting little note 140 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: cards cards from this game every once in a while. Basically, 141 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: it's a card game, a purpose driven card game, and 142 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: it's all about making meaningful connections with the people that 143 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: you care about. So there are three different levels of 144 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: questions and wild cards, and they're meant to be really 145 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: thought provoking questions. It's basically like a Q and a 146 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: game that you play with friends, and it's a lot 147 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: of fun. I highly recommend playing this game with your 148 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: best friends, or perhaps playing it on a date could 149 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: be super super interesting. And I think that's it for 150 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: this week. A quick hitter to kick you off into 151 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: the weekend. 152 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: If you have. 153 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: Any questions, comments concerned, you know how to reach me 154 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: at Emily a Body at Hurdle Podcast and also over 155 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: email Emily at hurdle dot us and also stay tuned. 156 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: I'll be releasing a new roster of hurdle sessions this 157 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: coming Monday at September seventh. Thanks for being in my corner, y'all, 158 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: another hurdle conquered. Catch you guys next time.
