WEBVTT - Saturday Morning Run: How Stephen King and Decluttering, Sparked Joy This Week 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.680 Hey, they're folks. It is Saturday, September twentieth, watching boats 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.680 on the Hudson River, a date night, some spring cleaning, 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.720 and a horror movie. How did you recover this week? 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.360 Because that's how we did it. Welcome everybody to this 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.079 recovery run episode of Amy and tj Our recovery runs 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.520 roads remind people we are big runners. We have marathoners 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.160 even but every once in a while, you don't need 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.560 to run twenty six miles or even ten. Sometimes you 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:29.760 just got to get a two milerant. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.120 Yeah, you take it, you take it slow, you take 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.920 it easy. You're still active, you're still moving, you're still doing, 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.960 but you're giving your body a chance to recover while 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.040 you stay active. And so it's a it's a thing runners. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.599 We do it weekly, and so we figured let's make 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.960 a run on Saturday. Our Saturday morning run is a 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.760 little recovery run from all the headlines and all the news. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.680 I feel like we say this every Saturday morning, what 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.520 a hell of a week in the news world, and 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.720 it just continues and ramps up. We are just in 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:05.399 a vicious cycle of debilitating headlines. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.479 That's a good way to put it. There's been some ugliness, 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.600 some nasty. That's not just in terms of debate, but 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.240 the story out of Pennsylvania this week with officers being killed, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.959 certainly the story with David the singer, the dead body 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.080 found in his trunk, it just it has been. And 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.880 then don't even start with the Kirk and the politics 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.640 and the back and forth and Kimmel. Yeah, how ugly 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.959 and sad and shocking. A lot of the news has been. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.680 So let's recover, please, from all that. Our plan? Do 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.759 we have a plan? We don't usually have a plan 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.399 to recover, but we do. Sometimes we make an effort 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.679 to say, hey, you know what, let's put this stuff down, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.119 let's just go outside. I think it was a day 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.679 this week. You looked up and I think it was 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.800 dark out. You said, yeah, I'll take a walk with you. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.120 I haven't been outside today. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:54.280 Correct. We actually have been organizing so much this week that, yes, 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.560 we work from home most days, and then when you 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.600 get into this reorganized phase, you end up not leaving 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.160 the apartment ever. So, yes, it wasn't until I believe 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.040 that day. It wasn't until eight thirty at night I 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.360 realized it was the first time I walked out of 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.720 the apartment, and it's funny. 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.040 The only reason you had walked out previously is because 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.720 you accidentally dropped something off off our balcony. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.720 Uh, it didn't hit anybody, It's true, I want to say, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.080 but really bad about it. Was super happy that no 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.560 one was there. It happens. That's why you should always 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.680 look up and maybe avoid balconies when you're walking in math. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:37.959 So that was a that was actually Robes. I think 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.600 it's me I needed sometime. I think you know, when 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.680 I go walking sometimes I start sending you fast, furious 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.720 text messages because when I'm moving around when I'm walking, 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.160 I but uice to start flowing. Man, I can start, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.280 I start vibing my mind, it's fresh, and I start 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.000 sending all kinds of ideas. So, yes, that is a 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.640 big part and we'll be a big part of our 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.200 recovery runs. Walking is a part of our recovery. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.120 Is and I have really enjoyed it because obviously we're runners. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.720 But you have gotten me into walking a lot recently, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:12.200 and I actually don't think I've ever taken many long 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.000 walks in my life except for with you, and so 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.160 that's kind of cool. It's our thing. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:16.960 Yeah, I don't ever. Yeah, we don't take them for 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.200 exercise ever. It's just a matter of just getting out, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.840 getting some fresh air, seeing what we can see. We 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.480 have some big we're big time people watchers. We just 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.720 find people so fascinating. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.160 Especially you learn, yes, you learn a lot about yourself 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.520 actually watching other people. So we have fun. We have 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.760 fun watching folks, and we actually have had some fun 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.840 watching boats. I mean we've I've made myself laugh and 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.640 cracked up at how much if you really actually just 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.640 start to notice what's around you, how you can really 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.240 get your head out of all of those crazy spaces 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.520 in places we're in when we're reading headlines and we're 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.640 reading the news and we're worried about the future, and 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.120 we're worried about what comes next. If you just remember 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.440 when we were on vacation, we just started watching seagulls. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.800 It lasted for hours. It was one of my favorite 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.880 moments of the summer, was just watching nature. And so 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.640 right here in New York, we don't have a lot 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.800 of nature. I'll be honest. We have pigeons and rats 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.960 and roaches. But if you can find your way, make 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.520 your way over to one of our rivers, either the 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.880 Hudson River or the East River. There is a lot 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.040 of beautiful boat activity and I maybe I'm just getting older, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.320 but it's just I find myself transfixed, transformed, mesmerized by 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.520 just watching boats go back and forth on the river, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.120 just the simple things in life. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.560 You know. It's the thing we always try to train, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.520 or well, we always, I guess every therapist, every great 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.760 thinker of the past thousands and thousands of years trying 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.320 to get you to stay in the moment, to be present. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.160 And that's the key to happiness, to stay right here. 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.000 If you stay right here, you can't worry about this 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.320 or that or the third. You just right here. I 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.280 am looking out the window at a boat going by, 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.760 and as you're doing that, you just get lost and 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.440 you follow it. Your mind is on exactly what you're 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.440 looking at and seeing and doing. I think that has 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.239 been a part of our piece this week. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.560 It has. And if we open up the windows, because 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.760 we do have beautiful weather this time of year here 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.080 in New York City, even the sound of a boat, yeh, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.760 can just make my muscles relax. I don't want to 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.520 own a boat. There are a lot of work, but I 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.599 love watching them just glide across the water from a 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.840 sailboat to a barge to the Staten Island Ferry. I 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.360 have thoroughly enjoyed that this week and have really made 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:31.880 a point to focus on it. And I know you 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.920 say we don't set out, hey, how are we recovering today? 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.000 Because then that just feels like work, like you're working 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.720 to find a plan to recover. But I do, and 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.719 we have been intentional. I am recognizing the moments when 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.799 we need to, when I need to and how weak 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.279 when you are getting like you can feel the stress 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.320 and tension in your body from all the negativity in 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.039 this world. I think that's the one I Sometimes I 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.200 get a headache, my body will tell me, hey girl, 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.400 you need to relax. But it is how. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.200 Your body talks to you. You hey girl, I don't know. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.240 No's a it's a nagging headache. Usually that's when I 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.839 know I need to put the computer away and I 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.479 need to just see what's around me and live in 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.760 the moment. And so yeah, that has been something that 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.120 I think we both have been more intentional about. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.400 We had its weird as we've been talking about this, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.480 both of us. We both angled our bodies toward the 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.320 window and we're staring out the window at all these 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.279 boats going by now. But it's but yeah, that has 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.839 been a very cool part when you can stay focused 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.000 and you don't even realize. But yeah, that's why. Because 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:34.840 I'm looking at that playing go by right now, I'm 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.960 not thinking about work, I'm not thinking about the Kimmel's story. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.720 I'm not thinking about tragedy. I'm just taking a moment 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:42.359 and taking it in. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.160 So yeah, that's and I think part of this, and 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.839 I don't know that I ever recognized this before. Part 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.719 of the reason why we love movies, and in particular 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.520 thrillers or horrors is because they are you are in 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.880 the moment. You are now in a fairy tale, made 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.560 up world where you don't have to think of all 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.920 the real, actual horror stories going on in this country 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.920 and around the world, and so it's a fun distraction. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.560 I've always called it safe fear, where you're experiencing fear, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.680 but you're perfectly safe and wildly entertained. So I think 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.560 we try at least once a week, but at least 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.680 three times a month ago see a movie. And we 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.800 have so many fun movies that have come out now 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.680 because everyone's finally gotten on board with what we've been 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.440 saying all along that horror movies are awesome, and Stephen 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.400 King hadn't and this one hasn't been hasn't gotten a 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.720 lot of attention. I haven't seen a lot of press 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.320 or headlines about it. But this was actually his first 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.880 novel which I did not know, The Long Walk, and 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.760 you and I went to go see that at the 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:45.440 start of the week and had an absolute blast. It 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.320 was that was which night was at Sunday night we 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.680 went Sunday theater was the start of the week and 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:51.880 it was absolutely packed. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.960 And I recommend those movie to everybody. It is thought, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:03.840 don't remember ire there has been one tears and watching 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.600 a horror movie. Now, this was Stephen King. So you 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.240 know he often has stories that do have heart, these 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.920 coming of age stories often about brotherhood. There are such 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:23.560 powerful friendships and dialogue and imagery that it is you 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.720 find people who are in a life of death struggle, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.360 knowing that if they survive, then that means everybody else dies, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.160 or if somebody else wins, it means I die. And 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.000 even in the throes of the most critical life and 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.480 death competition, they found friendship and love and respect for 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.720 each other. I love this movie, and I love you know, 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.480 obviously love horror movies. Man, I like the heart so 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.960 much of this movie may or. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.760 With heart it could be our favorite genre. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.400 I don't want to go to that quar because Hard 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.520 Eyes you had me in a rom common. I didn't 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:00.000 realize it. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.319 Yeah, that was a rom com horror mashup, which also 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.400 was super fun. Look, I love anything, you know, we 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.520 love horror comedies. We we just we love a classic 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.840 horror movie. But this has been really fun watching some 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.199 sub genres. Take a Foot and Stephen King. This is 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.800 an oldie, but a goodie. I mean, this is a 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.840 story that's been available for any of us to read 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.360 for years and years and years, but I was not 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.960 aware of it. So this was really cool to be 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.160 able to see it. And it's less of a horror 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.560 movie more of a thriller. You don't know how it's 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.680 gonna end. And there is some gore we should point out, 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.000 Oh yeah, because Stephen King is always what what's the 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.839 Stephen King movie without a little gore? 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.360 Misery? Was his? Was there a lot of gore his? 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.280 Okay, maybe not visual gore, but emotional gore. When she 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.120 took that that meat. Was it a meat? Yes, and 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:51.200 literally hobbled him with Okay, yeah, that was a meat 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.640 tender riser right on his ankles. Pretty gory. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.000 Okay, okay, yes, that was that was pretty tough. I'm sorry. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.880 I'm thinking about like a monster or killing in the 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.199 forest type. There wasn't. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:01.640 No, it was more of a thriller though. That's and 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.360 that would be kind of a similar thing where it's 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.880 building and the tensions building and you know what's about 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.720 to happen and you know something's coming. That's classic Stephen King. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:13.720 But anyway, that was a very fun intentional recovery. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.800 Do you remember this is gonna mess you up? Do 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.720 you know the movie Licorice Pizza? You remember that movie? 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.160 So I heard a lot about it, but I never 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:24.520 saw it. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:29.240 Okay, the kid that stars in The Long Walk is 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:30.680 a kid who was in Licorice Pizza. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:31.520 I did not know that. 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.240 Now, do you remember what I said about him in 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.640 the movie. Well, you didn't know this was going to 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.520 come up. But do you remember what I said about 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.720 the lead actor of the White the White Kid? No, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.320 I said, I love him. He's this kind of everyman. Yes, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.040 he's not sexy. Hollywood star. But man, he is really 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.160 making me feel him and relate to him. He was 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.160 just wonderful. Every man. That kid was in that movie 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:03.000 Licorice Pizza. His name is Koop Hoffman. He is the 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.000 son of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I had no idea. Oh 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.040 I'm looking at it right now. Now you see the face, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.480 you see the build. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.160 Even and you understand the talent. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.520 Man, he is so damn good in this movie that just. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.320 Oh wow, we just found that out in real time. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.600 That is a game changer, just in terms of we 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.760 recognized how unbelievably well acted this movie was. But I 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.360 had no idea. He is the son of the legendary 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:37.480 late Philip Seymour Hoffman. That makes perfect sense now now 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.560 if you now, hopefully that will make those of you 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.520 listening even more excited about potentially watching this movie, because 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.440 we just couldn't recommend it more. 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.840 And we do. It's not we're not they're not promoting 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.040 or they're not endorsing for any reason, but we are 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.120 pushing and promoting this movie as much as you can. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:00.200 I know there are some horror, horrorfule, horrific moments of 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.520 deaths that are tough to see. But man, I just sweart. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.520 There's so many examples once again that relate to today's 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.440 day and time, the moment we're in where you look 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.199 at an adversary where literally life is on the line, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.960 but you have love for this other person. Oh great, great, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:17.560 great movie. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:23.040 And I actually think despite the bloodshed, that it's actually 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.160 a movie that is worth seeing in the times we're 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:31.760 in in terms of brotherhood and acceptance and being sacrificial 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:37.360 and being willing to put love above selfish interests. It 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.679 has all of those things. And speaking of love, I 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.960 loved our date night. We actually went out to a 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.280 beautiful restaurant and had a wonderful meal. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.640 Do you have two date nights? 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.839 Well, we have had two day nights. I thought there 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:52.760 was just one date night. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.640 I thought we had more than one. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.679 Really, it's been a busy week. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.880 Or am I thinking we did? 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.719 We had one the week before. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.280 We went to two restaurants in the same night. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.600 Correct, it was one date night and we got terrible service, 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.000 and so we had a drink and we said, yeah, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:12.839 I think we're just gonna leave it with that. Can 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.160 we have the bill? And then I had the idea, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.040 remember that awesome restaurant, and so we decided that, you know, 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.839 this is a good way to look at it, instead 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.000 of getting upset and angry at being literally unable to 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.559 be served and then everything on their menu not being 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.360 available once we tried to order. It was hilarious. It 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.520 was a comedy of just really, could you make this 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.440 situation even worse? But then we figured out when it 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.360 led us to the restaurant we should have been out 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.720 all along. We decided it was the best thing that 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.199 could have happened, that they didn't have multiple things on 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.960 the menu that we wanted because it was a day 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.880 that the tuna didn't come in in time. I don't know, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.600 but we ended up at the place we needed to be, 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.679 and it all worked out. And I do like to 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.600 look at that. Sometimes you make fun of me, but 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.440 sometimes it makes sense that this whole other concept of 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.600 obstacles or detours in the right direction. But sometimes when 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.920 things don't work out and you want things to and 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.880 you wish you could, it's because you're supposed to be 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.160 somewhere else, And so it led us where we were 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:09.720 supposed to be. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.800 Sure, how many I have had a countless example all 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.520 of us. Do anybody listening can start. Yeah, I remember that. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.560 I remembered, yes, But in the moment is where we 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.480 lose control. In the moment, we could have gone, Matt 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.960 got give me the manager, what's going on? We gotten 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.240 pissed when you said to me, you know what, why 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.080 do we go to that place where we love that 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.320 that chicken and the great margaritas. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.880 I'm like, baby, that's what's brilliant. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.000 Let's finish this wine and get the hell out of here. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.480 And that's exactly what we did. And we had a 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.000 wonderful night. So that was awesome. We've been doing really, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.080 really well at getting at least one night where it's 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.600 you and me going to dinner and just making the 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.200 time for it to be just us and not focused 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.720 on work. We were not We didn't talk about work 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:56.800 once that night. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.080 Really. Wow, we've been doing well with that With we kids, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.520 it's been a little difficult. It's Analysa's going back to 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.560 college now, Ava's officially moved out to being as back 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.600 in school, but we're on the clock every day because 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.000 when Savine comes, when she gets out of two thirty five, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.120 she comes in hot. Yes, she got stories and tells 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.320 she's got stuff. She wants to do. She's very engaged 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.240 and active. The only thing that's been saving us some 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.400 When she'll say yeah, me and my friends are gonna 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.760 got out, we like, hoo, okay, you'll keep up busy 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:25.760 as long as possible. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.280 No, that's been and then we end up just doing 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.240 more work though, So it is it is. We do 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.960 kind of have to make that choice to say, Okay, tonight, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.680 we're gonna just have it be us and we're not 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.880 gonna talk about work, and that has been wonderful because 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.200 in between work we've also. You said spring cleaning at 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.920 the top of this, but I guess it's really autumnal cleaning. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:52.000 But doesn't it feel good to just declutter and to cleanse. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.520 I think that's something that it's interesting how when you 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.160 do it to with the space you live in, what 0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:59.920 it does to your mind and what it does to 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.080 your psyche and your attitude and just your overall energy 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.160 when you're just lighter. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.560 It could be shocking how much stuff we keep that 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.840 we don't need. It's shocking when you go through I'm like, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.680 why do we have this mini bag? Youre telling me 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.840 I had this much trash in my home. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:19.760 I had fifteen bags that Goodwill came and picked up 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.520 fifteen bags and I'm still finding more. I wish I 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:24.040 had waited. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.080 See, and those are the good clothes, right, you have stuff. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.120 There's stuff we have that I don't need this, I 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.440 don't wear this, nobody can use this. It's got fourteen holes, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.640 what like, just stuff laying around. So yes, that feels 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.640 absolutely great to be getting rid of stuff. And it 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.600 feels great. Now you're going to be donating to a 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.680 place where people can take advantage of some of the 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:43.280 clothes that you. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.960 Have just for success is a great place. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:46.760 I am going to be working as well with the 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.560 organization here where young black men. I feel so much better. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.240 I have so many suits and nice clothes that they 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.880 could go to somebody who could use it. So that also, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.600 what do they always say robes, that that's the way, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.040 that's the way to serve would be happy to best 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.520 happy is you have to find a way to serve others. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.719 This isn't some major undertaking, but still we were happy 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.359 to be able to clean out. But wow, it's going 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.600 to somebody's benefit. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.240 Look, we had a lot of clothing that we don't 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.840 really need anymore. When you are on the air five 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.760 days a week. You have to have a lot of 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.919 clothes and a lot of shoes. It's unbelievable how that 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.320 stuff all adds up. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.080 We have a shoe problem, and we have it. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:24.520 We still have a shoe problem, you know what. We 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.400 mostly have a running shoe problem. How many running shoes 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.280 we should take a picture? No, it's too embarrassing of 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.800 how many running shoes you and I have between the 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.399 two of us in this closet, and neither one of 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.120 us want to part with any of them because they 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.159 all are attached to memories of races that we loved running. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:43.680 We have a problem. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.560 Look, I'm never getting rid of my marathon shoes, any 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.240 shoes I crossed the finish line of marathon and will 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.080 be with me falla. But other than that, the others 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.120 I got more shoes than marathons. Let's seat that tons more. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.960 That is an understatement. Do you know if you estimated, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.080 Like obviously we didn't count because I think we didn't 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.040 count because it'd be too embarrassing. But how many running 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:07.280 shoes do you think you have? 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.800 The Uh? Probably ten to twelve would be my guest. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:12.640 I think you have more than that, Really, I do. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:14.840 I think I have ten to twelve. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.680 You're yes for me? Is what? It's not twenty I. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:21.000 Think you have. I was gonna go fifteen to eighteen. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.800 Okay, well, folks, you know what We'll do this then 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.640 quick break. When we come back, we'll tell you exactly 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:35.840 how many Alpha Fly shoes we got in the closet. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.959 Welcome back everyone to this Saturday morning run. It's our 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.160 recovery run. And speaking of runs, yes, if you are 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.440 with us from the first break, you will know. We 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.840 just ran over to our closet and counted our Nike 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:58.080 Alpha Flies. My number is at eight, but I did 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.480 have ten, so I gave away two pairs and now 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.879 I have eight, which is about six more than I need, 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.280 but eight that I love. How about you, babe? 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.160 I was surprised I only have three pair. 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:09.480 You're hilarious. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.879 I guess I threw a lot more stuff out. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:12.600 You are not. 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.280 No, I keep thinking lean. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.000 It turns out my prediction was extremely accurate. 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.520 I have fifteen pairs. I have fifteen, but I've been 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.000 running for a while. What are you talking about? 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.720 You just gave away once you had sixteen. My guess 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:34.160 was fifteen to eighteen. You were at sixteen. It's unbelievable. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.240
