WEBVTT - Best Bits with Mike D: Mike D Got A New Tattoo & Morgan Got Humbled Recently 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.960 The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part one 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.680 behind a scene with a member of the show. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:13.160 What's Up, Everybody Happy? Best Bits Weekend? I am joined 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.040 by Mike d via Zoom. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.560 Yeah. Crazy. 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.680 It's been a busy week, so whatever there's a crazy one, 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:25.279 we typically link up on Zoom for less stress on 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.280 all of us, and that's what this weekend is. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.600 Yeah, it feels different doing it in this setting. I 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.360 got I feel more comfortable here because I'm in my 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.760 home studio setting where I have like my movie podcast setup, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.040 and it just feels like totally different vibe. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.120 It's true. But you know, the bonus of doing Zoom 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.559 is I do have video, although I've never done anything 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.720 with it because like Mike' seen me right now too, 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.479 where I'm just like at my worst, so I'm like 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.280 I am, there's no makeup, We're just rolling, all right. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.920 We do have some fun best bits this week from 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.040 the show. We've got the dyslexia test that went down, 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.040 Lunchbox has the Kindness Challenge happening for two weeks. Doctor 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.679 Lorie v came on to evaluate Amy's Madame Alexander Dolls 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.600 Eddie made his son cry. We did some reviews of 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.920 things that we have in our lives currently. Barbara Corkran 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.040 also came on and gave advice to Amy and Eddie 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.319 and lunchbox s geeked out because shark tank and we 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.600 also had a thousand horses on. So like a lot there. 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.000 It's always crazy, Mike. When I look back at our 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.240 show from the week, I'm like, we did a lot. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.080 It's always like the weird things too that get me, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.440 Like all the interview stuff sounds normal, and then it's 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.480 like Eddie making his kid cry, trying to be nice. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.520 I really like to throw people off, you know. All right, 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.919 So I do have some things to talk with you about. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.960 I want to talk about our dumbest injuries ever. And 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.800 you may have a few of them, or you may 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.320 have none. But the reason I'm bringing this up is 0:01:54.360 --> 0:02:00.520 because I I was shredding cheese the other day and 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.720 apparently I'm like in the Stone Ages because I was 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.320 using a handheld shredder when there's so much more technology 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.240 now there is. Yeah, I'll tell you, but like you 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.440 can see my finger right now. I'd posted a picture 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.240 of it, but like I destroyed, I shred it. There 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.880 was like a piece of my finger, like hanging on 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.000 by a thread. Like I straight up shredded my thumb. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:25.840 It was like a metal one. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.040 Yeah, it was like a metal like old school like 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.600 kind of mandolin looking thing. And I felt so dumb, Mike, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.920 like I did that. I was like, I knew what 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.480 I was doing and I just shred my finger for 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.360 no apparent reason other than to cause myself pain. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.839 Yeah, those things can cause some damage. You don't really 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.480 think about. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.679 It, no, but you know, thankfully listeners like sit me there, like, oh, yeah, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.080 you just need this little crank thing which I ordered. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.880 It just arrived at my house, this little like you 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.480 stuffed the cheese in and it just cranks. It's super easy. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.480 I'm like, why couldn't anybody have told me about before 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:03.000 this happened? So my dumbest injury, do you have something 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:03.960 that comes to mind for you? 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.400 I mean all of mine are probably when I was 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.240 a kid, I got hurt so much that my mom 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.040 just like, just keep him out of trouble because he's 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.240 good to get injured. But I think my dumbest one 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.280 was probably in first grade where I walked backwards for 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400 no apparent reason and then I tripped over a chair 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.200 and I landed like on the concrete edge of a doorway. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:26.480 No, put my. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.440 Head open, and all I remember is falling down on 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.320 the ground and then I like, I've kind of felt 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.680 something on the back of my head and I touched it, 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.760 and then my entire hand was covered in blood. 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.560 No, was it like super deep? 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.080 Oh yeah, it was deep that I had to go 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.120 to the nurse's office. They wrapped me up in like 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.880 this giant bandage, and then my mom had to take 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.840 me to the hospital to get stitches. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.240 Oh how many stitches did you have? 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:52.720 I don't even remember. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.480 Is it so like there? 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.760 Yeah, Like the entire back of my head is all 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.800 messed up. Because that was one of any injuries I 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.800 had as a kid. There's another time I was just 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.120 like standing on this green like I don't know, like 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.600 power thing in the trailer park, and I fell off 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.600 of it. It also landed on concrete and cracked my 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.800 head up And didn't have to get stitches that time. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.240 But like, if you just look at the back of 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.599 my head, if I ever have it like cut shorter, 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.200 you can just see all these marks because of all 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.600 the times I fell as a kid. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.000 What was happening to you that you kept repeatedly falling 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.040 backwards on the cart. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.040 It's a pretty adventurous kid, like I always got into things. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.680 I was just very curious, so I would jump on things, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.960 I would get into things, and I would always injure myself. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.400 The other dome one I have is one that I 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.040 still have on my hand is whenever I was really 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.159 inspired by watching Jackass, so I would want to do 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.080 everything like Johnny Knoxville and STEVEO. So my cousin and 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.799 I would ride skateboards, and then I got this idea 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.560 to go down this giant hill on a skateboard, but 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.920 i'd like laid down on the skateboard. So then as 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.800 I'm going like top speed, like way too fast to 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.840 be on a skateboard, I was wearing a sweater and 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.520 the sweater got caught in the wheel. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.440 Oh gosh, it just like. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.600 Started twisting around and then my hand just all the 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.160 way down the pavement was just scraping and it left 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.880 like this huge scar on my hand. It was just 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.200 totally shredded up and bloody. And that was the other 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.719 one I got. So it's really me doing dumb things 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.360 as a kid, where all my injuries probably led me 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.400 to the point of not doing dumb things as an adult. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.359 That's fair. You're at least learning from yours, but you 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.560 have none as an adult. Like these are great ones 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.200 as a kid because like you're learning, but you have 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:37.360 none as an adult. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.720 It's probably like kind of like what you had of 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.679 like things in the kitchen. It's usually like accidentally stabbing 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.440 myself either like trying to take the pit out of 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.240 the avocado or trying like to cut something open with 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.160 a knife. And I'll just kind of like the quick 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.440 stab the. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.840 Other day avocados. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.080 I'm pretty cautious. Whenever I turned thirty, I was like, Okay, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.240 I'm going to retire from skateboarding because I don't want 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.360 to have any dumb injuries. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.560 It's so true, like when you're talking about yours, Like 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.719 just a few came more came to mind. This is 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:08.279 just top of mine because I obviously did this this week, 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:13.479 but I broke my tailboard my tailbone skate roller skating. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.279 First five minutes, I was holding onto the back of 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.400 a golf cart like I was standing up and we 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.359 hit a bump and I just go flying backwards and 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.360 I had scrapes from head to toe all the way 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.920 on my front side. And then I fell off of 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.520 a bike when there was a tornado like right behind me, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.040 and I was like, I kinda go really. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.039 Fast and you're trying to take the tornado on your bike. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.760 Yeah, like the tornadoes are like we knew there was 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.000 bad weather, and I was with my dad and my sister. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.839 We knew there was bad weather coming. But the tornado 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.480 dropped really quickly. And you know it's Kansas because you're 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.320 kind of used to tornadoes at that point, but it 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.360 was so close to us that the sirens were going off, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.440 and so I'm like pedaling, you know, my little legs 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.760 are going as fast as they can, and I hit 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:02.560 this huge like sand and just go flying. My dad 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.320 had to carry me home, and my sister had to 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.160 like ride her bike and bring my bike home, and 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.760 we like barely made it before like the tornado came, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:15.760 like all the wind came by. Yeah, you're welcome, great kids. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.960 The story and then gosh, there's so many other Oh 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.160 a boy, when I was sitting on a swing, you 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.160 remember the tether balls that were like attached to a pole. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.720 For some reason, he took the ball, the tether ball 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.880 off of the pole and I was sitting on a 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.680 swing and I assume he was florting with me. This 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.680 is when I was in like fourth grade and I'm 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.360 just sitting there swinging and he throws it at me 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.320 and I like put my hand up to like block 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.800 it from hitting my face. Broke my middle finger. Ooh, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.080 so really dumb things have happened to me. Also, does that? 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.280 Does that help? Does I give some sympathy for yours? 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:49.920 Yeah? 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.520 Ex wor now is the thirty year old I'm still 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.440 doing them and you've learned. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.000 Yeah. That's the worst thing though, when you do something 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.760 to react to something and then you hurt yourself. Like 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.840 I always think about it when it where like I 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.800 always comes back to knives. But when I like drop 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.760 a knife and I think I want to grab it 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.120 so it doesn't hit you, No, I probably shouldn't let 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.640 that thing go. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.160 Like we're not we're not superheroes. We can't actually do 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.640 that stuff. Have you ever actually grabbed a knife when 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:16.240 you've dropped it? 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:16.480 Though? 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:17.320 No? 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.600 I dropped knives a lot. And the other weird thing about. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.680 Me is like I have you never lost a toe? 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:29.800 No? O. I have a weird thing about injuring my feet. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.240 So anytime I drop a knife for anything that could 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.800 possibly hit my feet, I like immediately have like this 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.760 quick reflex of like moving moving so they are out 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:40.200 of the way. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.240 That's funny. Do you have like a toe injury phobia? 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.680 Well, if we're gonna get into the real root of 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.080 it is. Growing up, I had like terrible feet, Like 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.280 I would get ingrown toenails a lot, and I go 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.760 to the potiatrists like several times to get them removed. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.360 And if you've never had an ingrown tone, now they 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.720 are extremely painful and they bleed a lot, and if 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.040 somebody steps on them, it is going to be You'll 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.480 feel the immediate pain because it feels like somebody is 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.680 stabbing your foot, but then your toe will also gush blood. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:19.160 So I remember going to concerts with ingrown toenails and 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.280 having them stepped on and by the end of the night, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.040 my white socks were completely covered in blood. So ever 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.760 since then, yeah, it was pretty extreme. I don't I 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.839 think every single one of my toes at one point 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.160 was ingrown, so it had to go get them removed. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.599 And essentially it's them like clipping the sides of your toenails, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.520 and it's extremely painful. They have to put your toe 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:40.640 under and. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.040 Ever since under anesthesia, just like the one toe. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.200 Yeah, yeah, they get like this thing. I don't know 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.800 what was in the syringe, but they stabbed my toe 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.160 with it, inserted that and then I could feel nothing 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.720 as they were operating on it. One time though, my 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.319 big toe did not want to go down, so they 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.160 put whatever that stuff was in my toe and then 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.120 they started working on and I could still feel it 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.280 and they saw me in pain. They were like, do 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.000 you still feel this? I was like yeah, and they're like, okay, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.640 let's give you some more. So ever since then, I 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.840 have a fear of getting ingrown toenails again, and a 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.000 fear of just anything touching my toes. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:19.600 I'm pretty sure that's a very reasonable fear that you 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:24.319 have after what you went through. Wow, sounds really painful. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.040 Have you had any again since you were a kid. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.560 No, I've been a lot better at taking care of 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.800 my feet, aside from the amount of miles that I run. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.760 They don't they just don't look good. You just don't 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.800 want to see my feet. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.920 Wait, but I feel like that's a genetic thing, right 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.120 Like when you were a kid, it had to be 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.320 like a genetic thing. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.920 Yeah, my parents also have their feet I got from them. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.400 But like that, so you say, like taking care of 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:48.839 your feet, is there things you can do to like 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:49.400 avoid it? 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.400 Now, Well, I don't know how true it is, but 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.360 apparently you get them if you like cut your toenails 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.960 like too close down or you cut them like crooked. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.199 It has to do with that, just how you cut 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.640 your toenails. So very cautious about it. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.280 Now, Well now I'm scared to cut my toenails. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.520 I'm still Yeah, I let them too longest because I 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:09.480 don't want to clip them. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.400 Thank you for unlocking a new fear in me that 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.959 came from yours. Okay, now I want to talk about 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.079 the last time you got like seriously humbled. And the 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.679 reason I want to bring this up is because I 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.200 took a pilates class for like the first time. Basically 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.199 I'd gone like a few other times before me. I 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.600 think I deleted it from my brain and I went 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:33.120 this time. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:33.840 Mike. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.680 I thought I was in really good shape, Like I 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.640 really thought, Hey, I work out all the time. It 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:42.400 was fine. I did that pilates class. I wanted to die. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.360 I was like drenched into everybody else around me is 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.680 like their little ballerinas, and I was like the little 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:52.880 Krimlin that couldn't get off the reformer, and I was 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.839 very humbled, you know, like cool, got it. I am 0:11:55.920 --> 0:12:00.520 not fit or in shape, no dude, So once that time, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.360 you were like humbled maybe in that way, maybe another way, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:04.760 I think. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.199 Kind of in that same way where maybe both experiencing 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.880 that now is like I don't really feel a whole 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.040 lot older, and I feel like in my physical health, 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.000 I'm probably the best and the strongest I've been, just 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.080 because I've just prioritized it for so long now. But 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.240 I think maybe in the last year, I've kind of 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.880 realized that I am in my thirties. And I think 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.040 the other it was like maybe a few weeks ago 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.000 when I was out for a run and there was 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.439 like this group of probably college age, like across country group, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.640 and I tried to keep up with them, and they 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.720 were going so fast that I couldn't keep up with them. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.760 And that was when I realized, like, Okay, I can 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.160 run pretty good, but I'm also running pretty good for 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.040 my age, because they's just something different about somebody in 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.200 their twenties running that I shouldn't try to compete with them, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.160 and I do get competitive when I'm like quietly competitive 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.640 when I go and run, so I try to, like, 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.560 you know, outpace people. But there was nothing happening there, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.600 Like they're just elite and they're young. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.720 Oh yeah, that's tough, man. There's nothing like being humbled 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.960 about how old you are, like especially when you There's 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.800 times that I've walked in somewhere and it'll be like 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.800 a young barista and like, what would you like, ma'am? 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.840 And I know they're probably being nice, but like that, man, man, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.320 it sticks them to my heart. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.400 I feel like the mam probably hurts worse than the. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.599 SIRR, maybe because I don't know, Like I feel like 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.000 I've said sir more often, even to like other people. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.240 I mean, I say ma'am and sir too. Like if 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.040 I'm trying to get somebody's attention, like a server or whatever, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.199 and I'm trying to be nice, I'm like, ma'am, ma'am. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.680 So like, I don't know why I'm so offended by it, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.280 but for whatever reason, when like a young person says 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.680 ma'am to me, I'm like, oh, stab me in the heart. Yeah, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.400 But you don't feel that way with sir. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.040 Not as bad. I remember like the first time I 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.160 got called sir, and it felt a little bit weird 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.040 because in my head I was like, maybe like in 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.960 my twenty like mid twenties, I'm like, I'm not a 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.440 serve by any means, like I still watch cartoons. Don't 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.760 call me sir. But now I feel it's like, yeah, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.160 it's kids, maybe ten years younger than I am, who 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.560 called me sarah. I'm like, yeah, that probably makes sense now, 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:06.520 even though I don't want it to. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.160 Yeah, and maybe we have to like hit a certain 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.199 point where like, yeah, respect, I am a man, sir. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.240 Maybe it's just like we're in that special sweet spot 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:15.760 where we're like not quite yet. Please. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.079 Yeah, it's like, once you know your credit score, you're 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.480 probably a surah or a man. 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.240 That's probably true. I think we both are. You know, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.800 we're at that stage, Mike. But I am sorry that 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.560 you couldn't keep up with a cross country team, although 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.520 you're clearly keeping up like in running in general, because 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.480 you do those runs and I couldn't touch that with 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.840 a ten foot pole, like you were crushing it. What 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.960 was your one recently? I feel like you hit a 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.280 really high mileage in like the last six months. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.280 I think it was. My total mileage for twenty twenty 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.320 three was like, I don't I don't even remember it 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.000 now because I didn't set out to do it. It 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.280 was probably in the thousands or something that I don't 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.800 even remember it wild, but it wasn't something I set 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.120 out to do. It was just once I looked at 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.800 the number from the end of the year, I was like, 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.040 it was just impressed with myself, Like I don't even 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.600 know that I put that many miles on my car 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.000 and I ran that much. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.760 Hey, well, you know what. You may be hard on 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.920 your feet, but your feet are getting you through a 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.880 lot of miles, so I think there's some pretty good feet. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.640 All Right, we're gonna take a quick break and then 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.160 I got some more stuff to talk to you about. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:25.600 All right, all right, Mike, I need to admit something 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.680 that is so embarrassing. But it was very like not 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:36.920 intentionally embarrassing. Okay, where's this speaking of feet, I had 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.360 packed a bag. So you and I both do this 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.040 after work. We typically see each other at Planet Fitness. 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.440 We typically go work out from work because it's better 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.080 than like coming home and you get tired and you 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.080 don't want to go work out. So I had packed 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.520 a bag to go to Pilates after work. And as 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.320 I'm leaving and I like changed into my workout clothes 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:04.680 at work, I realized I didn't pack proper shoes to 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.920 go with my workout outfit. I had booties on from work, 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.680 and I couldn't put the booties on with the workout 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.760 out of it. And I'm like, Okay, I could either 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.880 just like run home and like cut my losses, or 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.600 I could just leave my socks on and walk barefoot 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.000 to my car and into the Plate studio in my socks. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.840 And that is exactly what I did. And it reminded 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.720 me of the trend. How there's people out there that 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.960 are doing like the whole barefoot walking and don't wear 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.960 shoes anymore. And Mike, I got so many stairs, like 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.240 in the five minutes, not in our parking garage, there's 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.160 nobody's really in there, but in the five minutes that 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.240 I parked my car and walked into the Piloti studio, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.000 all the people that were out having lunch like thought 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.440 I had lost my mind. I'm just like trotting along 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.560 like in my little sock east and I'm like, Okay, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.600 this feels weird, but like I do feel like it 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.400 was kind of a grounding experience and I now understand 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.720 what that means, where like they feel more connected to 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.440 the earth and their surroundings by like not wearing shoes. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.399 I did. Although I felt very uncomfortable and people were 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.680 one hundred percent judging me, I did feel like really 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.480 good about myself, Like I had a little pep in 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:23.200 my step even though I didn't have but whear, and. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.320 You didn't step on anything sharp or hurt your. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.199 Feet, no, and maybe help because I had my socks on. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.439 I didn't go like full, you know, barefoot walking. I 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.080 had my socks on, but I you know, I was good, 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.879 and I was like I could do this not all 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.080 the time. I'm way too awkward for that. Like if 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.080 people judge me, I'd be like, oh, I'm sorry, I 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.920 know I'm weird, but I do understand now why this 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.679 is a trend and why people do it. Like it 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.480 did feel. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.840 Grounding, Yeah, I don't. I wouldn't feel as embarrassed as 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.280 far as the people looking at me. I guess I 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.439 would be more concerned and paranoid of my fear of 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.800 having something wrong with my feet that I would step 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.480 on something. And it just feels like, of all the 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.639 things that people throw out, you're gonna either step in 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.240 something gross or step on a nail or something. 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.600 That's so true. And I was in a busy parking lot. 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.639 I was on a busy sidewalk. I didn't step on anything. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.680 Maybe it's because it's a clean area. I don't know. Yeah, 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:22.280 I'm also like, isn't it too what is the shot 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:23.800 that you have to get when you step on like 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.240 a nail atnis? Yeah, and isn't that really brutal? 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.960 I yeah, I think that the shot itself is painful too. 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.720 Yeah, So that would be alone of reason for me 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.800 not to do this. But I just have to give 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.959 people props because I do understand it now. And I 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.760 felt good, like I do feel like I had a 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.439 little pep in my stuff, even though I looked like 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.840 a crazy lady. So what trend? Maybe have you tried recently? 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.440 Well, before we get to that, that just reminded me 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.680 of another injury I have with my foot. In my trailer, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.840
