WEBVTT - You don't have to branch out

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Today's tip is that you don't have to branch out

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>if you know your tastes and you don't especially crave variety,

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>there is no need to feel obligated to change things.

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Just stick with what you like. On my other podcast,

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Best of Both Worlds, my co host Sarah hart Unger

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>recently commented that Pink Lady apples were her favorite apples.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I asked how she felt about honeycrisps, which I tend

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to like, and she said they were pretty good, but

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>she implied that she basically had no use for them

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in a place where grocery stores with Pink Lady apples

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>are abundant, why should she. Some people like trying a

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>variety of different apples, but it seems Sarah isn't one

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>of those people. She likes Pink Lady apples and is

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>perfectly content without other apples in her life. She commented

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that her husband has a cinnamon raised in Dave's Killer

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>bagel just about every day. No need to investigate other

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>bagel options, which means this is one less thing to

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>think about. So hey, good for him. When you are

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>happy with something and not bored with the repetition and

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>not curious about alternatives, you can just leave it at that.

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to branch out now. Personally, I like

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>trying different foods, but there are plenty of places where

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no desire to switch things up either. I

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>have a uniform for summer that involves cropped jeans, flats,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and slightly longer sleeveless tops. I don't feel the need

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to change this up. I have been wearing my hair

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>more or less the same way for years. I am

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>sure there are other fascinating styles, but oh well, same

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>with the magazine articles I occasionally read about getting new

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>throw pillows to change up your living room. Look, I think, hey,

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>my living room is fine. No need to branch out

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>from what is there. We go to the same beach

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>town for a week or two every summer. I hear

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>there are other beaches, But you know what, I am fine.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I know that plenty of people feel stretched these days.

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the demands on our time are significant

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and hard to escape. If you have little kids, aging parents,

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and an intense job, plus all the usual life maintenance responsibilities.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>There is already a lot that you really do have

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to do and have to think about, but Apple selection

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>just isn't one of those things. So if you are

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>happy with what you've got in some category from travel

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to close to music to restaurants, and you don't desire

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a change, then there is no reason to branch out.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You have my permission to go with what you like.

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
