Don't get about paleo. Then we got then 66 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: then at one point it's like, okay, then you be 67 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: a vegetarian, but there's like, well no, then you want 68 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: to be a vaga.

It's hard to promise you. 109 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: You would think that your doctor just has it on. 110 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: No no, no no no. If you gotta go through 111 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: your primary care doctor and you gotta go ask. But 112 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: it's a whole process. It's not just are you serious. 113 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: To this day, I still don't know. I'm gonna find 114 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: out dogs. This is the year. Well, you know, I 115 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: was at the time when I guess, yeah, when I 116 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: found my mother knew my blood type. But I was 117 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: dealing with Dr Frederick Burton in Philadelphia. Dr Burton is 118 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a m D. But he's also a holistic doctor, and 119 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: he focuses his his practice on holistic medicine. So you know, 120 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: if you're if you're going to Dr Burton in Philadelphia 121 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: on City Line Avenue, you'll get a blood test, and 122 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna go through everything, everything and whatever you think, 123 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, any anything you could think of, he's gonna 124 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: go look for it. And that's the difference between holistic 125 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: searching and your regular m d s. They're looking for 126 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: specific things and not everything. They're looking for rabies. You 127 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: might have got bit by a dog, by a kid 128 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: like my mom, Yeah you told me, but you told 129 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: us about this that he yes found in her system. 130 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: She was in her late forties and she was bit 131 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: by a dog when she was six, you know. So 132 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: there's that the suppression business that happens with modern medicine, 133 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: not necessarily healing. So you know he's going through find yourself, 134 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: a holistic doctor, where is anything you can share with us? 135 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Because I'm so interested and like what he found out 136 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: about you, about me weight, you're supposed to remember, well, 137 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that is not specifically what we were looking for at 138 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: the time. Um, I was trying to find out how 139 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: to regulate my cycle because I just it would disappear 140 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: for months or months, you know, sometimes a year or two, 141 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: Like I just was like what do I do? We 142 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: never actually came to a It was like get on 143 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: birth control pills, which was the initial reaction, not from him, 144 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the from other doctors. It was like, we'll just get 145 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: on birth control pills to regulate your cycle with him. God, 146 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: let's see, um, there was babies in my system? How 147 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: about that? Because I was yeah, yeah, I was like, 148 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: oh wow, that's what I'm not sure it just might 149 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: be present, it's just there. But it makes sense because obviously, 150 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: even as we all know that there are some things 151 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: that are genetic that you can't get from you know, 152 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: your parents, you know things and you're you know certain 153 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: I like to call them switches. Uh. You know, there's 154 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: certain switches you get born with, and depending on how 155 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: you live your life and what happens to you, something 156 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: can flip that switch on, you know what I'm saying. 157 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: So there's something you know, so you can it's good 158 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: to have some sort of sense of what those switches 159 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: might be. I mean, that's that's pretty amazing. You know. 160 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm curious, like um, and not not to get like 161 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: too deep in your binnass, but like, is that something 162 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: that's that's expensive or is that something that that people 163 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: might be able to like wrap their minds around in 164 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: terms of like the average person be able to go 165 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: do an afford. It was years ago when I was 166 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: looking for was cancer. We have a history of cancer 167 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: in my family, so I was like trying to see 168 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: was there any any glimpse hint idea so that I 169 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: could attack it rather than it attacked me. And at 170 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: the time, he didn't find any cancer my system. Praise God. 171 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for that. Um. But it's time to 172 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: visit him again and go through the whole thing. It's 173 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: been years and it's it's definitely time to see him again. 174 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, insurance covered it. It was a hundred and 175 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: seventy eight dollars. Yes, yes, it was very good. I 176 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't even assume that insurance will cover anything 177 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: that he's doing holistically. You know, anything that your holistic 178 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: doctors doing. They're not covering anything like that, you know. Yeah, yeah, 179 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: As you know, modern medicines is there to suppress symptoms, 180 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: not to heal them or deal with them in any way, 181 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: shape or form, because sometimes suppression is the answer, because 182 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: you don't want something that's sitting around in your body 183 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: to pop up, Like you said, something that's old in there, 184 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: you don't want it to pop up, or whatever the case. 185 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: May be. But yeah, yo, have you guys, either of 186 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: you guys, because you are artists and whatnot, have any 187 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: of y'all done like the body sculpting detoxifying stuff?

Shoutouts to the homie our brobs. 192 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: You don't care. She did like at least three sessions 193 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: of it. She is like, it might have hurt, this 194 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: is slightly but she she did see the results. But 195 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: you just have to be consistent. Now, what is this though, 196 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Because I'm just a regular negro, I don't know what 197 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: y'all even talking about. What it's about sculpting the way, 198 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: it's a lot of different. So cool sculpting is when 199 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: they they to my now you even made me look 200 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: us up officially, but they should freeze. We freeze the fact. 201 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: Oh and then you have to guess they have to 202 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: drink a lot of water to to push it out 203 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: of your system. Yeah, a lot of places, it's a 204 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: it's a lot of centers across the country that just 205 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: coool sculpting I'm just gonna tell you real quick how 206 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: it works. The proven science is FDA clear non invasive 207 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: body contouring technology eliminates up to treated fat cells for 208 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: good in nine different areas targets stufforn fat freeze is 209 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: twice stubborn fat at once. So that's what it does. 210 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: It freezes back. There are many ways, so there's also 211 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: a heat way. I hate that my references. Y'all these 212 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: show stuff and you saw. Of course, you're learn about 213 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: it when you learned about it from you, kind of 214 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: like I learned that you can also get which she 215 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: did a procedure which they melt atatich was equal to 216 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: like ten thousand sit ups. However, what I was asking 217 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: about was a more holistic thing that I've been watching 218 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: Melissa Ford do on Instagram where she goes to like 219 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: a detoxifying center. And I've actually heard about this years ago, 220 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: where you go declassifying tents and you go through a 221 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: series of massages, progressive massages of them, like moving the 222 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: stuff around.

Yeah, the Yoni steam 232 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: is pretty awesome.

It's uh, it's t 237 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: basically and you're yeah, you're sitting towel or something. You 238 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: can do these things from home as well. I believe 239 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: they sell them in um in Whole Foods, you know. 240 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: But you can also look it up and buy the 241 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: tea and put it together yourself so that you can 242 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of it for whenever you'd like to. 243 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: But it was actually a really really pleasant experience and 244 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: I would like to do that again. That was not 245 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: loved it yeah, I've I've never tried it. I have 246 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: a ton of friends who have done it. They love it, 247 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: they swear by it. Vaginal care is super important, and 248 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: so having the basics down are really important. But this 249 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: is something that's clearly not a new practice, but it's 250 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: something that now we're starting to talk a lot about 251 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: more often. And then obviously what black women having issues 252 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: with fire boys and things of all kinsitive and and 253 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: and and very very difficult periods. Because I have a 254 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: girlfriend who was having heavy bleeding and a lot of 255 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: pain and sometimes she was having her period was making 256 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: her go to the hospital for the pain. So she 257 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: started doing the vaginal steaming in order to um among 258 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: other things. Among other things, so changing diet, no longer 259 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: eating I want to say, she wasn't eating chicken or 260 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: anything anymore. She was like, not is the root of 261 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: all physical evils. I'm gonna tell you that too, because 262 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: reducing sugar house with fibraries, sugar feet ahead say more 263 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: real talk after the break. So so as we're talking 264 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: about these things, it's like, Okay, clearly sugar is an issue. 265 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: You and I all know that that the sugar is 266 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: flooded through the hood in every possible way all through 267 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: it the most powerful drug. Oh it is, it is. 268 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: It's it's flooded. All the sodas and the hugs, those 269 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: little it used to be probably a dollar fifty. Now 270 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, all of those little drinks and things are 271 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: just so much sugar. And it's a setup. It's a 272 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: set up, as somebody who was overweight right now it is. 273 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: It's a set up to tom to slow you down 274 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: and to to a fringe of fund your health because 275 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: health really is wealth. Friends, doesn't matter how much money 276 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: you have, it doesn't matter how many cars or houses 277 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. If you're not healthy, man, it changes everything 278 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: for you. So people just get on a regular basis 279 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: something some things that are too about access too, because 280 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: such absolutely yeah, it's like I think what happens is 281 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: that a lot of people want to be healthy, like 282 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: they want the benefits of being healthy, but there's the 283 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: education about it. But then it's also access because you know, 284 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: I live in the in the city and in Phillies 285 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: and when one grocery store you can go into, especially 286 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: the ones in the black neighborhoods or in the black 287 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: and brown neighborhoods, and it's just like none of the 288 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: produce look good. You know what I'm saying, ain't nothing 289 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: on sale, you know what I mean? Everything, and then 290 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: and and then you know, access to healthcare and people 291 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: who we're gonna, you know, tell you what's going on 292 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: with you. It's just like so much of that is 293 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: just hard to to to get around, you know, the 294 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: stuff that's in your way. I don't you think sometimes 295 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: it's mental work too that you don't feel like doing, 296 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: Like you don't feel like doing the research and find 297 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: out the alternative to this. This is what I know. 298 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: I know this price point. I mean, it's a lot 299 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: of gray in there. I feel like two Asia. It's like, yeah, 300 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: I have six kids, and I make pretty decent money. 301 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: I have six kids, I make decent money, Okay. When 302 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: I go into the grocery store, okay, and I'm buying food, 303 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: I have to think about how quickly that my family 304 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: is gonna go through that food, you know what I'm saying, 305 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: and when I'm gonna be able to replenish that. So 306 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot about how much things cost, you 307 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And obviously fresh you know, fruit 308 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: and vegetables, of course, that's a no brainer. But then 309 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: also too, you have to think about the way that 310 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: people work, the way they go to school. Will those 311 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: things go bad it? Will they be able to come 312 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: home on time to cook every night? All these different 313 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: things are all things I have dealt with. These are 314 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: things that I have been faced with. When I'll even 315 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: say things like vitamins vitamin supplements, if I'm gonna how 316 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: do I look only being the only person in the 317 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: house taking supplements? But then I don't want to give 318 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: the B S supplements to my kids. So then what 319 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: might cost you twenty dollars for a bottle of this 320 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: or that, I gotta buy four times that much. So 321 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: then you're telling me I got to spend two hundred 322 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: dollars a month on supplements, two hundred dollars on supplements, 323 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: when I got to spend at least four hundred dollars 324 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: every week, every week and a half to two weeks 325 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: just on groceries alone. Now, mind you, everybody doesn't have 326 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: a house with six kids in it. But what I'm 327 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: saying is that I make decent money and I have 328 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: six kids. When I think about people who are making 329 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: not very decent money, and then thet's say they have 330 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: three kids, but this is the state. It's the same 331 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing, if not first. And I just think 332 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: sometimes we just gotta remember in terms of health, to 333 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: remember the access is an issue. So people don't feel 334 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: like they're failing themselves because they can't eliminate sugar or 335 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: they if they want their kids to have something to 336 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: drink in the house, or whatever the case may be. 337 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: And let's say, you know, I don't know. I mean, 338 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: obviously water is obvious, but they can't afford X y Z. 339 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: It's a slow walk. It could be a slow walk. 340 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: It's gotta be a walk. Let me say this age 341 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: of great and danceler. Just because it's hard doesn't mean 342 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: that I don't have to do it. Like I enjoyed 343 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: my COVID time. I ate and I enjoyed it. And 344 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: when I and when I landed Mahellia, I was like, 345 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: I am going to be Mahellia. Okay, I'm gonna eat 346 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: this hair and it's off on a character and you know, 347 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: and like that was really my mindset, like I'm about 348 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: to be great at this. I'm gonna do what best 349 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: liked and I'm gonna do it. Look now I'm in 350 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: this position and I have to to get healthy because 351 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: that I don't feel good. I just don't feel good. 352 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: And it doesn't make a difference. You know, I don't 353 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: have the options. The options are, but the reality is, 354 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: let's just deal with the reality. Reality is, you have 355 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: to drink water. It's not a choice. The reality is 356 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: you have to cut down on sugar. It's not a choice. 357 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: Look if my mother, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, 358 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: we went through a very very hard time financially and 359 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: when I was growing up, and my mom, you know, 360 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: she just caught the long bus. She got on one 361 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: of them buses. She had a transpass in Philadelphia. That's 362 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: that's a little ticket that takes you to let you 363 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: catch bus after bus. They were pretty expensive at the time, 364 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: but she had to trans pass and she would go 365 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: all the way out to the boonies, you know, to 366 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: suburbia to go to the thrift stores to get good clothes, 367 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: because the clothes in my community, the you know, they 368 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: weren't really working. You know, the pieces of something that 369 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: it didn't last very long. Put it in the watch 370 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: twice and it's a rap, you know. So she she 371 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: went out to the suburbs. This is this is like 372 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: a part of the journey when we're talking about like 373 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: we have to, you know, care for ourselves. Maybe that 374 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: means taking a long trip. Maybe that's the long bus 375 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: to the farmer's market. I'm not saying that it's gonna 376 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: be easy. Everything ain't easy ship, but it's just it's like, 377 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: damn because the sugar water this one saying. I'm not 378 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: trying to say that people shouldn't put forth effort. Obviously, 379 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, I've seen this from a lot of 380 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: different angles. I've been overweight. I am in this at 381 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: this current moment, but I've lost tons of weight. I've 382 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: been on some of these programs worked out. You look 383 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: great by the way I saw you in your multi 384 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: colored dress, and can I can I just say that 385 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: I didn't have on anything underneath of it. There was 386 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: no type of apparatus underneath that dress, and you look good. 387 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: I've been I've been back and forth between these things 388 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: multiple times. So I do I understand there's a certain 389 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: there's a certain sensibility that we have to implore no 390 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: matter what we're doing. Like for example, yeah, you could 391 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: just not buy any juice. Okay, that's actually saves you money. 392 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: So there are some things. Yeah, there are some things 393 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: that we can do, and some things that are birth 394 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: out of poverty that actually are better for us, like 395 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: cooking more at home and things like that. But I 396 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: think it's important to really kind of stress and understand 397 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: that even if you have desire to do better, access 398 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: to better things is often linked to money and and 399 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: and and privilege, and when those things are not in 400 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: the space where you are, it can be very difficult 401 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: to make these types of chance ages. It's That's all 402 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying, is that. And I've been the mother in 403 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: the store thinking, oh, well, no, I need to buy this, 404 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: or but I needed I needed to last, I needed 405 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: to stretch. Uh should I do this? Should I do that? 406 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: And and I and I can just I can relate 407 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: to that. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it 408 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: is the counter the counter to that kind of like, 409 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: all right, so I feel I feel you on You 410 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: don't have to resources. You have this drive, you want 411 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: to change, you want to make things short, things are safe, Okay, 412 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: so you gotta buy these badass grocries this week. It 413 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: is all you can afford. However, I'm gonna make sure 414 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: that these kids get outside and at least walk around 415 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: the track to that. Yeah, no, I like it, And 416 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm saying. So, I mean, it's 417 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: like it's something there, it's something free you can do, 418 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, you're not confined to everything. And 419 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm saying, I'm just throwing that out 420 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: there because I think we're talking about freezing fat and 421 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about all of this different stuff and I'm 422 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: just like, well, for the average woman, how accessible is that? Like, 423 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: I mean crazy, But we're talking about different levels of 424 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: staying healthy, right, so we also can talk about intermittent fasting, 425 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: like we can talk about things that you can do 426 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: at home. Like I don't guess what. I'm not a vegan, 427 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: but I was trying not to eat dairy during the weekdays, 428 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. On the weekends, that's cheaper, 429 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: by the way, because dairy is expensive. People. We know 430 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: that dairy is back for us when we feel that 431 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: mucus and I said that when we wake up there 432 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: that today so and not for nothing. I know I 433 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: shouldn't be eating dairy when the moment. I watched the 434 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: Peter video and at the end of it, they said, well, 435 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: if rats drink rat milk and uh, bats drink bat milk, 436 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: why is your human as drinking coyle milk? I don't know. 437 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: But so interesting about Yeah, But that's that's so interesting 438 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: is because certain values that we grew up having is 439 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: like almost indoctrination, Like we were when we were like, oh, 440 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna build healthy bones. And I remember the milk 441 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: commercials like this is what you was in industry? It 442 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: was some bullshit. It was all eyes to build this 443 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: fucking milk industry, and we are all living in the 444 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: bullshit of what it did to us as kids.

I'm just saying, like, even in the 481 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: markets that are in some of these communities, then you 482 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: want somebody then then we discussed getting on the long bus, 483 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: So getting on the long bus also requires time to 484 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: get on the long bus. It also requires a lot 485 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: of different things, access to a lot of stuff that 486 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: are folks. I just think sometimes we don't understand some 487 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: of the basic things that folks do not have access to. 488 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: I think that's yeah, I just saying. I just think 489 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to health, like specifically around health, right, 490 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: I think that we just have a perception that the 491 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: majority of people are living in middle class life, that 492 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these things are associated with middle class living, 493 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: access to things and the affordability to to to get 494 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: these certain things. We do live in a country where 495 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people black, white, and otherwise 496 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: don't have access to some of these things. And the 497 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: more stuff you pile into the pot, black, poor, whatever, 498 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: these things become more and more difficult. So just getting 499 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: getting almond milk at two dollars, I'm sorry, I gotta 500 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: just jump out there and say that ain't everywhere, and 501 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: that's mostly not everywhere. We're gonna take a quick break 502 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: and then we'll be right back with education. When you 503 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: when you're interested in something, you find out, there is 504 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: a drive to find out more. That was That was 505 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: my quote in high school. The more I see, the 506 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: more I do, the more I do, the more I 507 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: want to see, you know, saying it's it's if you're interested. 508 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know about being broke. I definitely 509 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: know about that. And I know that My mother got 510 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: up at four o'clock in the morning and took the 511 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: long bus to the docks and came back with a 512 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: bunch of fruits and vegetables and started making smooth these 513 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: for my community. This is not myth, this is not bullshit. 514 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: This is real. She just started making smoothies. She bought 515 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: a book. I can't remember which one it was, but 516 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: she bought a book and found out about herbs and 517 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: such and started making these smoothies. And next thing I know, 518 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: people are standing around the block waiting for Joycey smoothies 519 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: and she was charging ten dollars, which was over ten dollars. 520 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: I know. She's also bought the big cups and she's 521 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: making I mean big joints. So when I asked people 522 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: on my way out, like, y'all really like my mom smoothies, 523 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: they were like, oh, whoa you know, um, when we 524 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: have them, we don't have to eat for the rest 525 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: of the day. So it's a ten dollar old day 526 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: party question. How come after that, everybody on your block 527 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: didn't get up at four o'clock in the morning and 528 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: make their own smoothies. There has to be a desire 529 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: for it. But what I'm saying that has to be 530 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: a desire. I can't believe that not a single person 531 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: that had your mother smoothie had no desire to be healthy. 532 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: I don't know about everybody. I know that when she 533 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: stopped making them, I ain't see them no more until 534 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: they were in the stores and everybody was going at 535 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: the smoothie mark and the smoothie spot in the smoothies 536 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: it's also a matter of convenience, and ain't people probably 537 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: don't think that way. When I can get up, I 538 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: don't have to get up before the more and I 539 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: can just wait from Miss Joyce and I got the 540 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: ten dollar, let me just say my ten bucks and 541 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: just sometimes that's the thought too. It's just so many 542 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: grades in that that thought process, isn't it. All I'm 543 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: saying is that I understand the variables, but if it's 544 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: something that you really want to do, like and I'm 545 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: speaking really directly to my myself right now, because I 546 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: don't I don't want to work up to and I 547 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: have to. I don't feel like drinking this green ship 548 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: that I'm drinking right now, but I'm gonna drink this 549 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: green ship because I know it's better for my body. 550 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to, but I have to stick to it. 551 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: And the more excuses that I make, oh, well, you 552 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: know I was trying to. Yeah, I get it, I 553 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: get it. It's not gonna work out. They're not we're 554 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: not shooting down. It's not happening now, is happening a 555 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: year from now or or a little sooner than that. 556 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, what I can't hold onto this my knees hurt. 557 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: I came there, don't want to be some bread and 558 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: the fact that our mother's not for nothing. The seventies, mamas, 559 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a holistic kind of thing, 560 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: and there wasn't rich mamas, because I don't I don't 561 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: think from a middle class refective. I do sometimes have 562 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: the tendency to think from a working class perspective. So 563 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: I I apologize for that and trying to be more, 564 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: but in the sense of, like, I know, my mom 565 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: wasn't rich, but there were certain things and books that, 566 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: like you said, Jill, she wanted more. So my mother 567 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: is still giving me books. I got a stretching book. Okay, 568 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: likes she is in this wholistic game. She is not trying. 569 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: She's trying to age gracefully. She listen, she ain't what 570 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: she ain't wont off that daughter, You know what I'm saying. 571 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: So girl, let me tell you something. My mother, my 572 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: mother got up, every got up and did remember that 573 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: lady who used to do the work out in the morning, 574 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: the twin workout four more, three more, two more. My 575 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: mother did that. My mother got up and did her 576 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: fifty My mother got up and did the fifty sit ups, 577 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: and I'm saying all of those things, and and again 578 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: and again. It's not to be Devil's advocate or anything. 579 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I just was trying to throw out some other aspects 580 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: of things we might want to think about. And of course, 581 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: anything you want to do, you have to want it. 582 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: But also to what I love about what you guys 583 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: are saying ultimately is that it is a life or 584 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: death situation and it's also a form of resistance because 585 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we know what we're 586 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: up against, and our health and how we treat our 587 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: bodies is so important because there's so many things attacking it, 588 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: whether it be what your diet is, how much you 589 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: move your body, your mental health because we've talked about 590 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: this on this show before, your mental wellness. All these 591 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: things are ingredients to, you know, the type of priorities 592 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: that we have to make for ourselves because if no 593 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: one's coming to check for us, they gotta so we 594 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: gotta be able to share this information with each other 595 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: and be fully, you know, aware of the challenges that 596 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: we have and how to fix, fix and meet those 597 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: challenges because no one else is gonna care. They're just 598 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna let us drop off. They're gonna let us have diabetes, 599 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna letus that sad disease. They're gonna let us 600 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: have all of that stuff and have access to the 601 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: worst possible health care. So we gotta look out for 602 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: each other and being a better friend and help people 603 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: be accountable. Shoot, I know, girl, I don't want no 604 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean accountability partnership. I'm going right back. I'm going 605 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: right back to this long bus. Friends. That's that's what 606 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: it seems like. It's like a metaphor for what I 607 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: have to do now. I gotta catch the long bus. 608 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: I promise you. I could cry right now, but I'm 609 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: just I'm I'm too uncomfortable. Oddly I fit my clothes. 610 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know. This is when 611 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: you know you gotta make some changes when you say 612 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how I'm fitting any 613 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: of my clothes, but I'm I'm fitting some of it, 614 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: most of it. But I don't like how. I feel 615 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: like I worked so hard in the past, you know, Scott, Damn. 616 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: There there was moments where I had a song. I 617 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: used to be like, Scott hate me, he hate me 618 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: so much, and I hate him too. And then he 619 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: would show up and I would sing this God hates me. 620 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Oh God, it's terrible. I hated the song. I hated him, 621 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: I hated to see his face. But every time we 622 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: left each other, I felt a little bit stronger and 623 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: I felt a little bit better, and I and he's far. 624 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: He's far, and I don't know nobody out here like that. 625 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: So what that means is that I gotta do that 626 00:35:54,120 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: for myself. My my girlfriend girlfriend swears by that Peloton. Okay, 627 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: she swears Peloton is a thing, and they have an app, 628 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: So you don't actually need the need a Peloton Palestine. 629 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: Oh that's fine. Well, don't be waiting and not doing nothing. 630 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: Don't be waiting. Don't be one of those equipment we're 631 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 1: talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm 632 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: talking about. Have YouTube workouts. You're talking about, getting rid 633 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: of every excuse not getting on the loan bus right now, 634 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: not at this moment, but the metaphors that that I am. 635 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: This is about to be the long bus. I gotta 636 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: I gotta go walk because the bus stop. I didn't 637 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: get to the bus stop yet. Because you gotta get 638 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: to the stop and this is the thing too, And 639 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: I'm so glad again. I know we talked about the 640 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: generational changes and stuff, but I'm so glad that we're 641 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: communicating more about what growing older means, right, because things 642 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: that we weren't told, right, Like, we weren't told a 643 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: lot of our our elders had neat issues because they 644 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 1: had too much weight on their bodies.

But this is a priority. It's more 850 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: of a priority than that bag ordumn shoes or even 851 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: that bill. Babe.

Another good holistic thing is that is 859 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: um oil pulling with that oil, oh yes, baby, and 860 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: that that draws out a lot of that bacteria to clean. Okay, 861 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 1: your teeth a bit too, And and don't forget about 862 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: bacon solda for your teeth. Bacon solda and peroxide.
