Speaker 1: the routine. I've been getting in, the workouts I've been

Speaker 1: Something's got to give, something's got to give and it's

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,680

00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: and have anxiety around that. Yeah, so I think it's

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: good for that. Routine has been helping me a lot.

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: That's awesome. How about you? What have you been doing lately?

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: That's more better. I'm about to leave too. I'm leaving

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Cana to go back to LA. You're coming back home,

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: and I'm leaving La. We all never see each other. No,

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe I have to make a trip to your house

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: or something. I just don't want to be annoying and

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: show up when you have stuff to do, because I

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: understand how that feels. But you can come to my

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: house because I know you, and I might do that.

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: I might just come by for like a half hour,

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, while you take a break or something. I

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: have been you know what I did this time? Hot

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: tip for parents who are the main sort of working parents,

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: and that can flip, you know, depending on what who's

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: doing what or when I'm right. But I gave over

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: control of packing all of my child's stuff to my husband,

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: my sister who is here helping us, and they made

43
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: a checklist and they communicated about it, and I didn't

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: do jack shit I packed my own stuff and that

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: was it. Oh shit, girl, that's a big one. It is.

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: And it was hard. Like a couple of times I

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: stuck my nose in there and was like, what about

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: this toy? Are we leading this? You know? And they

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: were like, oh way, yeah, I get out of here.

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, yep, you're right, I'm gonna go away.

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put my nose in there,

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's been. It has been a source

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: of a lot of I've been a lot less stress

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: because of that, because I often will try to control things,

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: especially at the end of get everything. Yeah, And so

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: I'm just letting go and you know, letting Jesus tick

57
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: the wheel. So I think that that's a good thing

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: for me to do. At this point, I'm getting I'm

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: trying to be more better at that's amazing. Good for you,

60
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Good for you. It's hard to ask for help, and

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to give up control. It's very hard to

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: give up control, especially for me. But it's really good.

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: It's good. It's good. It's really good for you. It's

64
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: good for those from my relationship with both of them,

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: because it shows them that I trust them, you know,

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: and I don't have to be like looking over their shoulders.

67
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, my mom would

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: like she'd be like, clean the bathroom, you know, we

69
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: have guests coming, And I'd clean the fucking shit out

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: of the bathroom and like work really hard at and

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: then she'd come in there and clean it after me,

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: and I felt like shit, you know, I was just like, well,

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: then why do you ask me to do it? Why

74
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: do I'm not gonna try then? You know? Right right,

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: So in this way, I'm showing them like I trust you,

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, like we might leave something behind. Yeah, you

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: might do it differently than me. You might not do

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: it exactly how I would do it. That's the heart

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: that that's the hard part. Oh. The vacuum packing that's

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: going on is honestly, he's exceptional at it. I mean,

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Brad's like sticking everything in plastic bags and sucking their

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: out of them and like prussing the phenomenal pretty phenomenal. Yeah,

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 1: He's already talking about like wanting to buy a vacuum

84
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: packer thing, and I was like, wet'll slow down. We

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: don't need I don't think we need that. I don't

86
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: think we need We don't need to be those people.

87
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: But maybe we are, but maybe maybe more better. This

88
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: week we are talking about hobbies, guys, hobbies. What are hobbies?

89
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: You guys don't what they are? There's stuff that you

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: do on your own goddamn time, right like that. You're

91
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: not trying to get paid for not just do for enjoyment.

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's exactly what it is. Hobbies or stuff.

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: You're not trying to get paid for it. You just

94
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: do for fun. You just do because it gives you

95
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: a little like spring in your step, twinkle in your eye,

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: fire in your belly. Do you have any do you

97
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: actually have a hobby? Uh. When we said we were

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: doing this topic today, my first thought was like, I

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: don't have any hobbies. I have a bunch of hobbies

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I've started and stopped, which we'll talk about. But I say,

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I do think cooking is a hobby of mine. Yeah,

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: I do like cooking. I cook quite a bit, and

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: I recently, well not recently, but I would say in

104
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: like the last few months, I've kind of you know,

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: I go, I go through phases. I think parents will relate,

106
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: parents of small kids will relate where you just like

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: you do the menu, you do the things you know

108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: your kids will like, and you just do the rotation,

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: and you just kind of get in these like ruts

110
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and every day you're like, oh my god, if I

111
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: had to figure out what the fuck is for dinner tonight,

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: I fucking murder someone like you get burnt out on

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: just like a daily task of like figuring out dinner.

114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: And I think maybe because I was, well, I know

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: what it was. It was summer, I was busy, I

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: was working. We also traveled, so I got chunks of

117
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: time breaks from cooking and from figuring out what the

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: fuck is for dinner, and that allowed me to enjoy

119
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: cooking and cooking new things or trying a new recipe.

120
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: I also have learned that I really enjoy cooking and

121
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: prepping when my house is empty, like when the kids

122
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: are still in school, Like if I can get home,

123
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: if I can get done with my day or home

124
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: early enough, like even if it's just a half hour

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: before pickup, and I can just like chop or like

126
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: start something, or like you know, well, because you're focused,

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: you just focused on that you're not parenting at the

128
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: same time, Oh my god, And I'll put a podcast on,

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: or I'll put music on, and I'm like, this is

130
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: lovely is to be jopping an onion while listening to

131
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: a podcast and no totally screaming. I think non parents

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: probably have a different experience of hobbies, like there's more

133
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: time for hobbies when and you I think, maybe, well, no,

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: maybe we also need hobbies just as much, but we're

135
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: not in touch with the need as much. But I

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: feel like I think we need them probably just as much,

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: if not more. I mean, people that choose not to

138
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: have kids, I think choose lives that they really really

139
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: like and are full of stuff that is right for them.

140
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's like whether it's you know, I have

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: a couple of friends who who have chosen to not

142
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: have kids, and like they travel a lot, they go

143
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: see a lot of music shows. My friend that I'm

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: thinking of right now is in Japan. She's traveling around Japan.

145
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: She recently traveled to Italy. Like, she goes and sees

146
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: a lot of dry and she is always at drag cons.

147
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: I think she went to London for a drag con

148
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: this year. I mean she's constantly just like filling her

149
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: life up with like cool stuff and I think I

150
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: definitely had more time for that when I didn't have

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: a kid, like I remember specifically, I really like to paint,

152
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: and it's not something that I find the time to do,

153
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: but the like little kid in me really loved art classes.

154
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,680

158
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: fashion drawings, like I would just copy the drawing and

159
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: paint them on, like paint them with acrylics or whatever,

160
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: and it was so fun. It was so fun. I

161
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: don't have any space in my life to do something

00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: that I'm like mildly interested in and want to see,

182
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: but I know that I don't have the time because

183
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: I've know that's play with the movies that I see,

184
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: because I have such little time to like actually see

185
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: something that's more than an hour long, right right, No, No,

186
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: that I get excited about it, like like sometimes you're

187
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: watching a fun comedy or something on a plane and

188
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: using that time to read it is like so good.

189
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: It has to be a fun book though it can't

00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: be like you know, I mean for me, it has

191
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing about hobbies, right, they have to be fun.

192
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: You can't you can't be out here like forcing yourself

193
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: to do something that you're you're gonna get better at it,

194
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: because to me, that's and you've taken on a part

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: time job that you're not getting paid for. That is

196
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: me and gardening a good day of my life, a

197
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: good chunk of my life. During the pandemic, it was

198
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: just like, you will fucking grow. I was like, I'm

199
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: a garden the fuck out of this little box that

200
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: my husband bought. I'm gonna have a little mini farm

201
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: out here. This is gonna be amazing. I already have

202
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: like basic knowledge. My mom was an amazing gardener, like

203
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: amazing garden with plants too. I mean she had her

204
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: first of all, she had in her her backyard like

205
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: an orchestra of flowers, so like like from Alice in Wonderland,

206
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: like they sang like when some flowers were blooming in

207
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: certain parts of the garden, Oh the others were fallow

208
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: as they were going away, the other ones were coming up.

209
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah that's cool. And I was like real brand at all,

210
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: like real gardener. And then she had a vegetable garden

211
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: and she grew these enormous zucchinis and canoes and like

212
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: all the herbs and green beans and strawberries and everything,

213
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: so oh yeah, like really good at it anyway, And

214
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm not, no, I am not. Well, you tried it.

215
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's the other thing about hobbies rare. They

216
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: feel like you have to try it, try it. I did,

217
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: but I did grow some kale I did grow uh.

218
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: I almost grew some snow peas. But then they shriveled

219
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: up and died. Uh yeah, it just it would give

220
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: like one and then die. And the squirrels are also

221
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: very aggressive. I feel in Los Angeles, I don't know

222
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: how to fight the nature. It's not angels likes the raccoons,

223
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: the squirrels and then the bugs. And then that's when

224
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I usually tap out. And eventually my husband threw out

225
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: that garden box because they just had a bunch of

226
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: sprouted herbs and lettuce and things with Sometimes you gotta

227
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: let the hobby go, like it's just not for you.

228
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: Re the longside. He was like, can I throw this out?

229
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, that's mine. Do not

230
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: I know it. I'm a farmer. She could be a

231
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: farmer in those clothes more. I don't know that. I

232
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: like kind of game of farming slash growing things to try,

233
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: but I do feel like some people are just fit

234
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: for you know, one of my hobbies lately is shopping,

235
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and you are very good at it. And I'm getting better.

236
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting better at, like getting better at understanding what

237
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: my closet needs are. I'm getting better at understanding what

238
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: I do and don't use. I'm getting better at, you know,

239
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: seeing how valuable something is to me, meaning I a

240
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of us, you know, for example, like people are

241
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: always like, oh, you need to do like sustainable fashion,

242
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: sustainable fashion, sustainable fashion, right and like, but to me,

243
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: sustainable fashion sometimes means like, yeah, I am going to

244
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: buy this thing that like might be might be necessary,

245
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: might not necessarily be like the most sustainable thing right

246
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: when I buy it, But I know I'm going to

247
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: keep that thing for probably ten years, So like it's

248
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: better than me buying a new pair of pants every

249
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: year because bus stout or whatever. There's these apps now

250

306
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: she had read about it somewhere and made it from

307
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: scratch and it was delicious. She's She's like, I wish

308
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: that I could do stuff like that. And you know,

309
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: when I was younger, I went to a phase of

310
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: being vegan and I was really into baking for a while,

311
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: and I would bake like a vegan cakes and pies

312
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: and and and then for a while I had a

313
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Betty Crocker phase where like the old cookbook and I

314
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: was yah. I think, honestly, I think it was because

315
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: I was in a play that was set in the

316
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. Oh my god, that's hilarious. So I was

Speaker 1: like super into trying to like make a bunch of

318
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: stuff from this cookbook and I made some really good pies. Ooh. Yeah.

319
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: The thing about hobbies is like it has to bring

320
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: you joy or or then it's not a hobby like that,

321
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: you're just like trying to it's a part time talking. Yeah. Yes,

322
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: I was on unpaid job. I was on a dance team.

323
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: This was I was on a comedy dance team for

324
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: a while. And at first it was really fun, and

325
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: then as we went along it was like a great

326
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: hobby because I love to dance. It was really fun.

327
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: There were a lot of other fun women that were

328
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of them were actresses or comedians. And then

329
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: the rehearsals started being I remember you saying that to

00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: it's not fun. It's not fun anymore, so I quit. Yeah,

338
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't fun at the band. You know, yeah, that's

339
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: the thing. I wanted gardening to be fun. But then

340
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: when the afids attacked my basil. The affids, is that

341
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: what you call them? I thought they were aphids? Or

342
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: are they aphids? I thought so? I thought there were afids.

343
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm probably wrong, probably listen. I like to make up

344
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: ways to say things fed aphid. You say tomato, I

345
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: say you can I grow it. It's fine, it's fine.

346
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: But then it wasn't fun anymore because I was like,

347
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get rid of these motherfuckers.

348
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry more more. Having a hobby, this is a

349
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: nerd time. Having a hobby is tied to happiness and

350
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: well being, which great no pressure, no pressure, and don't

351
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: have the time. A study published online September of twenty

352
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: twenty three by Nature Medicine suggests that having a hobby

353
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: is good for your health, mood, and more. Researchers combed

354
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: through five large studies involving more than ninety three thousand

355
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: people across sixteen countries, including the US, Japan, China, and

356
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of European countries. Participants were all aged sixty

357
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: five or older, and more than sixty percent had long

358
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: standing mental or physical health conditions and they periodically answered

359
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: these questionnaires. But compared with people who didn't have hobbies,

360
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: those who did reported better health, more happiness, fewer symptoms

361
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: of depressure, and higher life satisfaction. The findings were similar

362
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: across all countries. Now, I will say my mom, after

363
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: my dad died, she had a really hard time for

364
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: a while. And then when she came to live with

365
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: us for a little bit in LA, she immediately found

366
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: a church that was nearby and that she could walk to,

367
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: and she started volunteering with them. And she has like

368
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: a whole group of friends now in LA that are

369
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: all from her church. And she's got like a little

370
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: ladies group and they like volunteer and they do like

371
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: a good rash sales for the church or like fundraisers,

372
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: or they'll go and like do like canvassing or you

373
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: know whatever. They're just doing a bunch of stuff. And

374
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: like that's her her hobbies. Yeah. I love belief and

375
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: her faith and her desire to like be involved in

376
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: her community and in through church. And I think that's

377
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: really it's really good for her. She really like she

378
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: feels like she has a purpose. And I think a

379
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: lot of like people, you know, I mean we talk

380
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: about how busy we are right now because we have kids,

381
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: but there is going to be a time when we

382
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: choose to retire. Yeah, our kids are gone, our kids

383
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: are out of the house, and like what are we

384
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: going to fill our time with, you know, right, And

385
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: it's important to still have like purpose and joy and motivation. Yeah, yeah,

386
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting to think about, right, like

387
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: like what am I going to do? And and you know,

388
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: as somebody that doesn't go to church, I don't go

389
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: to church, and you know, I have no issue with

390
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: people that desire that, but I want to have a

391
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: form of community in my life, right, especially when I'm

392
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: older and I'm not going to be working as much.

393
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: So it's interesting to think about like how you start

394
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: to like fill in the world of hobbies, like as

395
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: you get older, you know, things like I mean taking

396
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: I would love to take a painting class, Like yeah,

397
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: I would love to like a still life painting class

398
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: or something, or like be one of those like cool

399
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: ladies that has her sketch pad at the art museum

400
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: and it's just like sitting there for two hours in

401
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: front of something copying it. That is something I share

402
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: that love with you. I used to go to painting

403
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: classes as a kid, and it was like I just

404
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: loved it. I didn't have any aspirations for like I'm

405
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: going to do this as a job one day. I

406
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: just love doing it. I have artists in my family,

407
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: and I felt like I was, you know, like contributing

408
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: to the family legacy or something. You know. I can

409
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: kind of paint and so I'm you know, keeping it

410
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: up for the fam. And yeah, and I miss it

411
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and I and I like you, I wish I had

412
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: the time or the space too, you know, so relaxing

413
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: painting the Huntington. The Huntington sometimes does like painting classes,

414
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: so like when you're back, we should do one together.

415
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just for like an afternoon where they're like

416
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: they'll they take you around. Like the Huntington is a

417
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: big I guess, like with the Botanical Party. Yeah, it's

418
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: it's got like multiple buildings and like lots of gardens

419
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: and stuff in Pasadena in California. And they sometimes do

420
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: them because I'm on their mailing list because I'm a member,

421
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: and they sometimes do like classes and stuff. I sign

422
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: up for one once and I couldn't go because I

423
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: got a job. Ah, but we should do one and

424
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: be real. Lakma has little like a little that little

425
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: kids area too where you can do because I had

426
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: actual sew into art and he actually I took him

427
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: to Lakhma recently for the first time. Oh was he

428
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: so into it? He was so into it. Did he

429
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: like those cars? The car exhibit thing, you know what

430
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I don't think they had that. Oh

431
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: there's like that big installation that's like those tiny little

432
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: cars that are like constantly moving. Oh and it's like

433
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: a city with all the yeah yeah, urines and stuff.

434
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, he did think that was cool.

435
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: But he was honestly into the paintings more. Oh and also,

436
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: by the way, when you go to a museum with

437
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: a very little child, the security guards will stock you

438
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that they don't touch anything. Oh. But

439
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: then so it was so weird because you know, I

440
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: just had that feeling of like someone watching me watching

441
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: all the time. Realized the security guards it's really funny.

442
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: But then we got in a couple of compliments because

443
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: they were like, she so well behaved, and I was like, well,

444
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: which I also like like that, yeah, exactly. I hate

445
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: compliments like that because it's actually a comment about other children.

446
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, because he's into this and

447
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: he actually really loves this. Right, if he hated it,

448
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: he'd be like fucking bounce them off the little Yeah exactly.

449
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: But uh but yeah, so I'm I'm trying to start

450
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: to take him to like art classes. Also, that's cool,

451
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: so I can paint something next to him. That's really cool.

452
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: That's really cool. You know. Part of the reason I

453
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: know that I want to paint again is because Roz

454
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: got these little sugar skulls. They were like porcelain sugar

455
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: skulls with a little paint set, and she was like

456
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: into it for the first like half hour or whatever,

457
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,520
