1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, it feels like it's been a while. 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: We have a lot we want to say and a 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: lot we want to share with you right now in 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: this episode of Amy and TJ, including the fact that 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: Roboc and I have been living together full time as 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: of two weeks ago. It was not by choice. Also, 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: we don't usually respond to headlines related to us, but 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: today we need to clear up some bs that's been 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: attributed to us. Also, as many as you know, we've 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: been training five months for a marathon that's in two 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: weeks now. Only one of the two of us might 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: end up running that marathon. Also, I am getting my 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: it's just an honor to be nominated speech ready in 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: anticipation of a humiliating defeat I'm going to suffer at 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: the hands of Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Plus in this episode, 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: in the past few weeks, we've launched two more episode, 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: two more podcasts. We've been really busy. Also, we want 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: to invite you to come to see us live on 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: stage in Chicago. And finally, I quite literally tossed Robes 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: into the arms of another man. But I had a 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: very good and a very scary reason for doing so, 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: And with that everybody welcome. What are you giggling about? 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: Ro because I love so I don't know what your 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: intro is before you do it. And the last one 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: threw me for a second and I thought he did what? 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: And then I laughed because I remember. 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of throwing you, I did literally throw you. 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: We will get into that, but that was It was 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: scary for a moment there. We laugh about it now, 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: but it was a life lesson in a lot of ways. 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: It was, and it actually had us re evaluating our 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 2: own lives afterwards. That's absolutely the truth. Where you'd think 33 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 2: you go through enough of life and enough things happened 34 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: that you've you've gotten some good perspective, but man it 35 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: sometimes it just takes a millisecond and new perspective is 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: immediately gleaned. 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: We got it that. We went from Skinny Wagarita's doche 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: and about us split second. So I'll tell you all 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: about that, but I want to add we have our 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: super producers in the room, Andy and Emma Animal by 41 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: Def Leppard. Do you all know the song They're Youngsters 42 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: Me and Bobby McGhee by Janis Joplin. You'll know that one. Yes, 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: that's a yes. To Andy. Emma is a no California 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: love by Tupac Shakur. Do you all know that song? Yes, 45 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: Emma California done? Okay, I bring those up for what reason? Robot? 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: We've had a very difficult cultural back and forth in 47 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: the last few. 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: Weeks, last few weeks, how about the last ten years? 49 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, maybe I can't. 50 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 2: Believe you don't know songs. You can't believe I don't 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: know songs. Yes, So I guess we'll start with Animal 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: right because we went to go see Finally Speak No Evil, 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: so good the twenty twenty four rendition and I and 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: we both loved the movie. 55 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: But can we give James McAvoy some James boy. 56 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: I think deserves an Oscar nomination for his portrayal. It 57 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: was creepy and perfect and evil and likable all in one. 58 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: He was a charismatic, scary person, right, but. 59 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: He creeps you out the whole time. You were uncomfortable, 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: even though there wasn't horror and gore. You were uncomfortable 61 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: for so much of that movie, and he carries it 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: in a way. Look, the reviews weren't great, so we 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: even questioned whether or not you've been wanting to go 64 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: for weeks. We finally go. He nailed it. But a 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: song comes on in the beginning and you lose your mind, 66 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: and I'm looking around, like, why these white people getting 67 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: excited in the theater. 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: Death Leopard was the first concert I went to. I'm 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: a huge deaf Leopard fan. And they start out the 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: movie playing animal and you looked at me and you said, 71 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: you know this song? 72 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: And I looked at you and said, you don't know 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: this song. 74 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: I actually think if y'all heard it, you would say, Okay, 75 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: I know that song, and we can't play it for 76 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: you know, royalties and all the reasons why we can 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: never play. But I'm telling you check it out. Really 78 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: don't necessarily know the name of it. If you've listened 79 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: to it, I bet you most. 80 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: People will know that song all right. And me and 81 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: Bobby McGhee, oh classic. No, we're talking about this now 82 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: because we just got word. We're recording this after hearing 83 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: just Chris Christofferson passed away at the age of eighty eight, 84 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: and he actually wrote that song. I was listening to 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: it this morning. I went through the whole thing. I 86 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: was waiting on a chorus, a line and did nothing 87 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: sound to familiar. 88 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: Da da da da Da Da da d It's so 89 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: funny because I said, well, wait, have you heard it? 90 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: Because I in my mind you just don't know this title. 91 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 2: You're like, no, I listened to the whole thing first 92 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: time I ever heard it in my life, which close 93 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 2: my mind. 94 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: Apa. 95 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: My daughter actually sang that one time at one of 96 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: her concerts, so you know, maybe she'll sing it again. 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: I missed that concert, but there. 98 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: Was another one coming up this Thursday. 99 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: So but it held this. We have a long lived 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: and to the point we wanted to do an episode 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: strictly on music. And you are blown away when I 102 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: tell you I have never heard a song before, to 103 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: the point that I said to you, okay, you didn't 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: know California Love by Tupac. Nope, as shocked as you 105 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: were about these other That's how shocked I was about 106 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: you not knowing that song Tupac. And there's tons more. 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: We can't think of them now we have a list 108 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: of them. But that was mind blowing. But that was 109 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Hilarious's always funny, but. 110 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: It continues, like I guarantee you next week we'll have 111 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: more songs. And we can't believe the other one's never 112 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: heard before. 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: But we have been Look, we have been extremely It 114 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: has been a crazy busy summer. I don't know if 115 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: we've had a chance or a podcast to just to 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: do kind of a debrief, but we have had an 117 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: incredible fun summer. Kids been busy, We have been busy, 118 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: we have been traveling, and in the past few weeks 119 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: here we haven't even got a chance. On this regular 120 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ got to talk about the 121 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: fact that we just launched two more podcasts in the 122 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. 123 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: That's amazing. I think the last time we did a 124 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: debrief was when we were wrapping up Rome and we 125 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: did it in a rivaderci and. 126 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: That was fun. 127 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: But I think that's the last time we've actually sat 128 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: down and kind of gone over what's been happening in 129 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: our lives. And yes, so much has been happening that 130 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: we haven't had a chance to do. So Yeah to podcast. First, 131 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: we launched our daily podcast called Morning Run, and we're 132 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: now on our third week of doing it and we're 133 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: getting into the groove. We're still for those of you 134 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: who've been listening, thank you, and we're tweaking it. We're 135 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 2: listening back and thinking what we can do differently or better. 136 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: And so I would actually encourage anybody to jump on 137 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: our Instagram and let us know if you have any suggestions. 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: We mean that really you really would like to hear what. 139 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: You want to know. We're trying to give you all 140 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: a sense of what's happening and what has happened, and 141 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: a little bit of our spin on it, but really 142 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: just get you up to date. So when you're walking 143 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: into your place of work or you're on your run, whatever, 144 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: you feel like you've got a good sense of what's going. 145 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: On in the world. 146 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: Quick, easy and entertaining is what we're going for. But 147 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: that has been it has caused us. I again, we're 148 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: going to get the schedule a little better, but we are. 149 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: We've been getting up at three in the morning, some 150 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: of us later than others to get it all raided 151 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: to rock. And we have been recording that thing essentially 152 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: from the dining table or from the bed, or from 153 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: the couch or from whatever at the house very early 154 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: in the morning. Five am is when we record it, right. 155 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: And we're used to look, this is not this is 156 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: something is in our wheelhouse. We actually love and have 157 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: missed being a part of the headlines and having a 158 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: real a good sense of what's happening in the world. 159 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: But we were used to having a staff, a quite 160 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: large one, and so now it's just the two of us, 161 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: and so we have had to This is a lot 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: of work, and we're excited about it, but it's we're 163 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: wearing a lot of hats. 164 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but at the same time, we are getting the 165 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: freedom to be how sometimes we were asked not to 166 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: be or to back it off a little bit. This 167 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: is not we're not giving opinions, but we are still 168 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: able to give perspective on in context to things that 169 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: we weren't able to do so necessarily in previous jobs 170 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: we've had. And we're able to do it fairly quickly. 171 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: This is not like we need so many and it's 172 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: or an hour to explain the story. It's boom boom boom. 173 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: And it again, to be in the daily news business, 174 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: quite frankly, is exciting to us. And so yeah, we 175 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: appreciate folks have been checking it out so far. 176 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: Okay, you know, I was gonna say it very much 177 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: is and I think one of the cool things that 178 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: we're kind of getting our head around now is look, 179 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: media bias exists. Everyone comes into any sort of story 180 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: with an opinion or an experience. But I have always 181 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: said we all have tried to be as objective as possible. 182 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: The problem is when you choose what to cover. I 183 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: think that's where a lot of bias takes place, where 184 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: you know what you don't cover what you do cover. 185 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: So it's been pretty cool for us to be able 186 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: to make our own rundowns, decide what we're going to 187 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: talk about and what we're not going to talk about. 188 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: And the other podcast, the second one, which has been fun, 189 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: I do part two. Now, this is one where I 190 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: mean it kind of it's right there in the title 191 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: right what it's about. But it's for folks who haven't 192 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: didn't get it right the first time with the didn't 193 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: marry a high school or a college sweetheart thing, worked 194 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: out the pick of fence and the dog and the 195 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: two kids, and it doesn't look like maybe on your 196 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: second marriage, maybe on your third marriage, maybe you had 197 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: some difficulties, and most people have.

We're all we're all nuts, Let's 228 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 2: be honest, We're all certifiable. 229 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why it's working. And but one of our 230 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: first that we had on our first. 231 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: Celebrity Coaches Celebrity Mentor Mentor. 232 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: We had to be introduced to Kelly beIN Simon from the. 233 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: Real Housewives of New York of New. 234 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: York My only my first introduction to her was watching 235 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: the show and watching what was the wet episode, the 236 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: scary Island episode Island. That was the first exposure I 237 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: ever had to Kelly ben Simone. So if you have 238 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: seen that, you would know she's out of her mind. Well, 239 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: she's just in that episode. 240 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 2: I would just say she says she didn't have a filter. 241 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: That might be the best way to put it, which is, 242 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: I actually appreciate people who don't have filters because you 243 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: know exactly where you stand, and you know exactly where 244 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: you stand with Kelly, and I appreciate that. 245 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: I need filters. I need filters, But what I say, 246 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: I set it up that way to say this. She 247 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: came in here in the studio, she was the most pleasant, 248 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: the light. We had such a good time with her, 249 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: and we will see her again socially, and so she's 250 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: just I just to see the show and to have 251 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: that exposure to her that way the first time. You wouldn't. 252 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Of course you're going to come to some kind of 253 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: conclusion about her or have some opinion. And then she 254 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: walks in here, and we've been around enough people. We 255 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: weren't being fool she wasn't putting on for us. She 256 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: was being herself, and it was in such contrast necessarily 257 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: to what we saw, and so I appreciated and enjoyed 258 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: the time we got with. 259 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, she came in and said, Yeah, I get paid 260 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: to speak my mind. I get paid to sometimes be 261 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 2: the mean girl. I've made a lot of money doing 262 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: what they want from me, and so I am always myself, 263 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: but I know exactly why I'm there and what I'm delivering. 264 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: So I appreciated the real speak. 265 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: So she's going to be a part of But that 266 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: has been fun as well. That's something that's necessarily we 267 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: would normally be doing or think to do something like that, 268 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: But it is it's in our wheelhouse to a certain degree, 269 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: being open about where are your relationships and the mistakes 270 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: you've made, and how it's been and it hasn't been easy, 271 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: and where you are now and finding love and getting 272 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: it right later in life, all those things. 273 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I think, and hopefully the goal is 274 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: that other folks out there who have been in that 275 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: exact same position. You don't have to have had your 276 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 2: relationship woes splashed in headlines to still feel the pain 277 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 2: and feel the frustration of not getting it right. So yes, 278 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: we hope that you all, or at least some of 279 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: you listeners out there, will join in on the fun 280 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: and up your hearts to possibly you know, I'm hoping 281 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: we can have some pretty awesome matchmaking going on. Maybe 282 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: there could be a wedding or two. 283 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: You want that responsibility, you want that you want, you 284 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: want to love it, but I take it on. But 285 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: do you want it? But it has to work out. 286 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: If things don't worry out, you will feel bad that 287 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: you put these people you try. Well, there it is. 288 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: You said this early on the train. Actually here you 289 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: said that I was like, wow, that's a very good 290 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 1: point about where we were a year, a year and 291 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: a half ago, thinking the world at end. It will 292 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: never everybody hates us, we'll never be able to work again. 293 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: We're hiding out in our apartments and to the point, 294 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: we are so busy right now that we can't. I mean, 295 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: we're barely above water without busy. And look we did 296 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: we started up a production company together, which has been 297 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: a part of putting the original podcast together and the 298 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: other podcasts together. But now we're starting to take meetings 299 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: and develop project and be active with that now. And 300 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: it's to your point, Babe, you said it. It's just 301 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: to everybody out there, you think it's the end of 302 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: the world, and it's just not. You got to get 303 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: through whatever storm you're going through. 304 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: You know, you live enough life you will get stuck 305 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: at some point, and it doesn't have to be as 306 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: dramatic necessarily as what happened with us. And please God, 307 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: yes I never wish that upon anybody. But it's always 308 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: this moment where you get this perspective and a year, 309 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: a year and a half, two years of pass and 310 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: you think, where was I even a year ago? And 311 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: look where I am now, and it's always just a 312 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: good reminder to know that you're not going to stay stuck. 313 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: It's going to get better. Things are going to change. 314 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: Change is inevitable, and that's a good thing when you're stuck. 315 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: So yes, I was just thinking about a year ago. 316 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: We were not going out socially, we were not feeling 317 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: comfortable being out and about. We were just getting back 318 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: on social media and a little scared, not a little scared, 319 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: a lot scared to get back out in the public. 320 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: And so I just say, a year later, Wow, I'm 321 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: so happy to be this busy. I'm grateful to be busy, 322 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: and we have a heck of a fall lined up 323 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: and I'm genuinely excited about it, like so excited. 324 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: We will be you folks in Athens. We will be 325 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: on the University of Georgia campus this weekend for a 326 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: game at Robox, alma mater of folks in Fayeville. We 327 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: will both see you there soon as well. We plan 328 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: to be recording to podcasts, a podcasts from each of 329 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: our respective campuses. That's fun. In between, there is a 330 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: marathon we are going to be heading to Chicago to run, 331 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: and then also in October maybe the most meaningful trip 332 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: we are all going is that the end of October. 333 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, see end of October. 334 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: All right. We are all piling up in hen to Spain. 335 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: Yes, TJ, my oldest daughter, Ava, and me all heading 336 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: to Sabilla Seville. And honestly, I'm so excited because I 337 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: didn't want to push TJ in this direction because it violates, 338 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: it breaks some of his travel rules that he has 339 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: put in place. So there is no direct flight, there's 340 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: a long ass layover, and it's going to be a 341 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: full day of travel. We aren't changing rooms when we 342 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: get there. But it's a quick trip, but it's going 343 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: to be a fun one. And I just want to 344 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: say thank you for bending bending your rules. 345 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: All this is all analyse. I assure you, if we 346 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: were going to see Ava, this wouldn't be happening. I'm kidding, Ava, 347 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, Ava, I'm kidding. Okay, just a joke. 348 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: She's happy to be along for the ride. She's fine, 349 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: She's not going to complain at all. 350 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of Ava, Ava is the reason that Robike and 351 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: I are living together. We have been a lot of 352 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: people have been asking for a while about our living situation. 353 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: We have. 354 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Our respective apartments are easily vocable, so we go back 355 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: and forth all the time. But we're together every single day, 356 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: every single night, essentially living together. Yes, okay, but now 357 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: it's beneficial for the last. 358 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: Few weeks it has indeed, because Ava has an apartment 359 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: in the village and it's a little grungy, but it 360 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 2: should be. It's her first apartment, and it's a sixth 361 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: floor walk up, and it's an old building. And yeah, 362 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: it has a massive roach infestation, like a massive roach 363 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,239 Speaker 2: infestation that we have been trying to battle. I've been 364 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: trying to help her out. We've gotten exterminators multiple times. 365 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 2: I don't know how many raid camps. Raid cans have 366 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: been purchased. We've got roach motels all over the place. 367 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: It's a small, small apartment if you can just envision this, 368 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: but still she comes in every day. There are dozens 369 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: and dozens of roaches in the roach motel every day, 370 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 2: and live ones in her bed, et cetera. Anyway, she 371 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: has a hoarter living next door. Guys, if you don't 372 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: know about the squatters, he hasn't played paid rent in 373 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: six years and they can't get him out of the apartment. 374 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: New York City is insane with their squatter laws, and 375 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 2: they have more rights than people who actually are on 376 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: the lease. 377 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: He's not on the lease. 378 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: I guess he got the apartment from his aunt who died, 379 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: and now they can't get him out and he is 380 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 2: a hoarder. 381 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: Oh, that's a true story about New York laws. Here 382 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: it's if you don't know, go to Netflix and what 383 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: was it? Worst Roommate Ever is a series and there's 384 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: one in there about a squad and explains the laws 385 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: in New York. You cannot get a squatter out. It's 386 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: almost impossible. So what they're dealing with now is the 387 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: building is not a terrible building. They just have a 388 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: terrible neighbor who is hoarding things. And to the point, 389 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: it is so disgusting that you can see, and I'm 390 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: not exaggerating, almost armies of roaches making their way from 391 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: his apartment over to hers. It's that bad. 392 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: They can see the roaches coming underneath, and they've tried 393 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: to stop the door, but they can see them coming 394 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: out of Those things can flatten themselves out. 395 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: They're prehistoric. 396 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: But the worst was when they decided to finally say mom, 397 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: She and her roommate rye, can we come live with you? 398 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: We can't live here anymore. They saw a steady line 399 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: of roaches coming out of his bathroom window, which was 400 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 2: cracked open an inch and coming straight in through their 401 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: air conditioning units that are in the window. So you 402 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: can't fully seal your window when you have an air 403 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: conditioning unit coming out of it. And that's when they 404 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: just said, we're done. So they are getting a new 405 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: apartment within the building away from this man, this horder. 406 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: But in the meantime, I've got people all in my 407 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: apartment living with me, and so I've just said, hey, 408 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: y'all knock yourselves out. I'll be at TJ's. 409 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: And so we have. We have been living together full time. 410 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: And the thing is, we were are schedule. We could 411 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: go back and forth, but you got people there and 412 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: we're up at five eight. Were recording three? Yes, we're 413 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: up at three, but recording at five am it just 414 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: doesn't work. So we have We've getten a dose of 415 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: living together. So there you go. Put that in the headline. 416 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: Have been living together full time? We have as of 417 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. 418 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: That's true. Supposedly they're moving out this weekend. 419 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: So we might be living together longer. 420 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: We'll just have to wait and see what happens. 421 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, this is what you do for you kids 422 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: that you know, you're excited to be able to help 423 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: them out, and this is what it's for. And it's 424 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: unfortunate to hear what's happening some The broach thing is 425 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: just awful. And now I heard you all talking this morning. 426 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: She wants to bring some stuff over. 427 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: Or what was it, Yeah, she wants to bring her 428 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: bedding over to wash it my apartment in anticipation of 429 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: this move. And I said, girl, do not be bringing 430 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 2: any roaches over to my place because I have not 431 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: seen one bug in my place and I would like 432 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: to keep it that way. One I'm nervous about. 433 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: That, Okay, you know the Oh god, well, look I 434 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: have Look, I've enjoyed the time and we've had together, 435 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: and it's it's been a little different, but I've liked it. 436 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: I've liked the different type of routine where we know 437 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: where we're going to end up every night, but decide 438 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: instead of having a plan like. 439 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: Your place or mine, well, I don't know, yeah, all 440 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 2: that back and forth. It's just a foregone conclusion because 441 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: when we're getting up at two three o'clock in the 442 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: morning to record our podcast or to prepare for the podcast. 443 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: That's when they oftentimes are rolling in.

You're 503 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: on a steady dose of a leave and advil, and 504 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 2: it hasn't gotten better. 505 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: O can't get to get right. It's been two months now. 506 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: I cannot get this thing to get right. 507 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: And you skipped like you know everyone and anyone who's 508 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 2: done a marathon knows it's a pretty specific regimen for 509 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: five months. And you know now that this will be 510 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: my sixth I'm a little I know how to say, 511 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: I don't have to do that, but I can do this, 512 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: and so the long runs are the one thing that 513 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: needs to be constant. So you end up doing a 514 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: bunch of longer runs than even a half marathon, and 515 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: it culminates with a twenty miler you you weren't ready 516 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: to do it. I ended up. This is the first 517 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: time I've ever run a twenty miler by myself. But 518 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: I ended up on Wednesday earlier last week, running it 519 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: on my own, and you thinking, Okay, well, I'll try 520 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 2: to rest up enough to be able to do it, and. 521 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I just can't. I don't know what I'm gonna do. 522 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: So I don't know if anybody out there, if you 523 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: sounded my voice, if you have any remedy, because I 524 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: have been down to as foot, specially as a foot doctor. 525 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: I've done the heat laser thing on my on my 526 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: achilles but he has a fancy name for it, but 527 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: essentially achilles tendonitis. So dealing with that pain back there 528 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: have a not the inflammation the back of my heel, 529 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: and I just can't get it to go down, and 530 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I can't get it to just heal up and loosen 531 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: up right. It just can't get it. So it might 532 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: just be pain management he said, he can just get 533 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: me through the marathon. But today was bad enough that 534 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: I had to stop after on one pointy six miles. 535 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: So you don't want to rupture your achilles, obviously, And 536 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 2: that's the fear. If I mean you did do You 537 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: made it through an eighteen miler, oh yeah, and you 538 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: made it through the fourteen miler. Those are the last 539 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: two big runs before the twenty miler, and you made it, 540 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 2: but you were in pain. And so the question is 541 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: can you push through the pain and do the marathon 542 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: or do you risk doing permanent damage to your achilles. 543 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 2: And when you're a runner, to think at your age 544 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: at forty seven that you would have to stop running 545 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 2: as a pretty scary thought. 546 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: And I don't know. This is the first time my 547 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: body has failed me in my life to where there's 548 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: something you want to do and your body says no, 549 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: you actually cannot do that thing. That's new for me. 550 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: So this is a bad one. I don't know, And 551 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: this will be a game time decision. We will take 552 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: it right up to the last moment to make the 553 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: call to see if I'll be able to run it. 554 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: But I'm supposed to do that, and then new York 555 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: the week three weeks after. I have just we'll figure out. 556 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: It'll be fine. 557 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 2: You may end up doing one, you may have doing both, 558 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: you may end up doing none. But you put in 559 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: the work and your head's in the right place. I 560 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: applaud you for where you are mentally with all of this, 561 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: because it is frustrating when you put in that much 562 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 2: work for something and you love doing something so much, 563 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: and it's a big communal fun activity. We've got a 564 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: bunch of people coming to Chicago, all running with us. 565 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: I might be rooting you on at the Chicago Marathon. 566 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: That's just tough. 567 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 3: I know, I know it's tough. 568 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: And perhaps maybe you save yourself for New York even 569 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: and I root you on in New York and we 570 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: do that. But I'm hoping for the best, and I'm 571 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: hoping you make it well. 572 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: To add now insult to my injury, this was funny. 573 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: Not too long ago, we saw everybody knows. I think 574 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: it's next in November announced the Sexiest Man Alive. But 575 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: they start the voting. It's been going well. I think 576 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: it's ended now, but for a little while.

He has 643 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: no chance in hell comments, right, But we talk about 644 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: the headline. It might be grabbed and we know this, 645 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and we know this better than most that are walking 646 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: the streets. But we we don't look at headlines. We've 647 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: talked about that plenty here. But we started getting calls 648 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: and texts and emails and in conversation with friends of ours, 649 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: we're giving us a heads out up about headlines that 650 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: were taking place, So headlines that were out there that 651 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: had to do with initially where we used to work, 652 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: and then came headlines about us that we were like, whoa, 653 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: Now we need to speak. 654 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I think and we've made this very clear, 655 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: but hopefully if you're just hearing this for the first time, 656 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: headlines are not necessarily facts. And anytime you see a 657 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: headline or any kind of story attributed to sources, or 658 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: a source says also probably not something you can take 659 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: literally because it is so ambiguous. It is such a 660 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 2: gray area, and it is frankly, it's a cloak a 661 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: lot of organizations hide behind to be able to say 662 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: whatever it is they want to say, and there's almost 663 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: always an agenda attached to a headline. But yes, friends 664 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 2: were coming up saying, oh, I bet you guys love 665 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: the new story that's been out and everyone's republishing, reposting, 666 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know what you're talking to, 667 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,239 Speaker 2: no clue, And I will google every now and then, 668 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: especially if we see maybe a paparazzi following us, or 669 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: if I have a bunch of people telling me, Wow, 670 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: there are these headlines out there, this latest one, and 671 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: it dates back I think even to a week or 672 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: two ago, or somehow somebody picked up on sources from 673 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: ABC News saying that perhaps at this point, now nearly 674 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: two years later, they are realizing that they made a 675 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: mistake in letting us go and that they don't have 676 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 2: the star power to replace one of the main three 677 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 2: at Good Morning America if that event were to come up, 678 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: if they needed to groom someone, if they were looking 679 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: to just have somebody waiting the wings. 680 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: Let's be clear what she just said saying there's no 681 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: star park or not. Ay, please do not interribute that 682 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: that's not us. 683 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: I am only repeating what I read, which I am saying, huh, 684 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: I you know, you just you. I always question the 685 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: timing of these and I say planted stories, because because 686 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: that's what they are. They're not reporting on something that's happening. 687 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: Someone In almost every case when it comes to insider 688 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: or sources say it is someone who is planting a 689 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: story with a group. And that's what this looked like 690 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: to me now just recently, within the last twenty four hours, 691 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: a day or two now, they've gone on to say 692 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: the story, We have read the story, we have seen 693 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: the story, and that TJ and I, this is what 694 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 2: these reports say, are saying it's karma, and feel vindicated 695 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: that those words never came out of our mouths, nor 696 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: do we even feel that way at all. In fact, 697 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: we have genuinely said this. We are rooting for our 698 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: former colleagues to be the best they can be. We 699 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 2: loved so many of the folks who live and work 700 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 2: at ABC, and it's their lifeblood, it's what they do, 701 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 2: it's what they love, and we're supporting them. We never 702 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: want to see ABC fail, we never want to see 703 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: them not do well. And so I guess it's just 704 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: a little frustrating then for it to seem as though 705 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: we're saying, you know, haha, or we're even commenting on 706 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: these reports in my opinion, that we're planted with whatever 707 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 2: organization for some agenda I can't possibly know. 708 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: Well, we just can't say it enough, and it's not 709 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: even a matter of words or feelings being attributed to us. 710 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I know how you feel about it 711 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: because you and I speak privately and talk about things 712 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: that nobody else will ever know. No matter how close 713 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: a friend is or a parent, there's some things you 714 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: and I talk about that nobody else will ever know. 715 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: There's no point in any private conversation you and I 716 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: have expressed to each other. Ha ha, look at that. 717 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: Who who? There's karma, this vendic nothing, No, because there's 718 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: just how in God's name, anybody out there, ask yourself, 719 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: why and why would you feel good about somebody else's misfortune? 720 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: Why would you ever feel good that even an X 721 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: of yours or somebody who in a relationship with any 722 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: way is not doing so well? Which we have. We 723 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: got friends in that building. We don't need to read 724 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: any headline to get an idea of what's happening in 725 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: the building because we've got plenty of folks and friends 726 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: that we are very close to who continued to talk 727 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: to us about what's going on. You know what, We're 728 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: not gonna do relate to you here on the podcast 729 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: what they're saying to us. But I can assure you 730 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: there is never a moment where you and I have 731 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: ever felt good. We have heard rumblings about what could 732 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: happen to the show we used to be on, Yes 733 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: and we're like, oh no, oh, that would be to God. 734 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: Please wait, that was something we were a part of it. 735 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: We want to see that thing go on forever God. 736 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: I know I took great pride in that show, starting 737 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 2: it during the pandemic, and it really gave me new 738 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 2: life in my career, getting to do that show and 739 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: feeling like it's served a valuable purpose, which is rare 740 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: in journalism these days to feel like you actually did 741 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 2: something that helped someone else. So I take great pride 742 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 2: and took great pride in starting that show, and then 743 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 2: when you came on it, it breathed new life and 744 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 2: it just became what it was and we were proud 745 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 2: of it. And we don't want to see it go away. 746 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: We don't want to see it do poorly in our absence. 747 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: So I know, look, a human emotion I think could 748 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 2: be like haha, when you mentioned relationships, Oh see, wish 749 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 2: bet you wish you hadn't let me go. Now, bet 750 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: you wish you hadn't broken up with me. Now, Look, 751 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 2: I think those types of feelings serve zero purpose. And 752 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 2: I think we've made a really I know that you 753 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 2: and I have talked about and we don't just talk 754 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: the talk, We walk the walk of staying positive. And 755 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 2: you know, this door closed, but what door is opening 756 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 2: now that wouldn't have otherwise? And look where we are 757 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: right now. We've got our production company and we're doing 758 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 2: something we love with each other, and we're getting to 759 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: talk to people who we wouldn't have been able to 760 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: do otherwise in depth in a way we couldn't have otherwise. 761 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 2: And things are starting to open up and build and 762 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 2: blossom that would never have happened if things didn't happen 763 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 2: the way they did. So we do not feel any 764 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 2: ill will or negativity or any sort of vindication if 765 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: things aren't going well over there. So I just we 766 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: just want to really put that out there that you know, 767 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: yes it hurt, Yes it was hard. Yes it wouldn't 768 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 2: be what we wanted or what we would have chosen, 769 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: but we're on a different path now and it's a 770 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: beautiful one. 771 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: And that path makes us appreciate ABC News as being 772 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: a part of the journey that we've been on.

But you 826 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: did that was really good, baby, You nail that. 827 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 2: You're shocked and surprise that my ability to do that 828 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 2: is actually no. 829 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: Because my inability to do it. Wow, she is really 830 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,720 Speaker 1: nailing this. So Rooves and I go to a restaurant 831 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: we love Edwards here in New York and it's in 832 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: Tribecca is right on Church Street. 833 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 2: No, it's on West Broadway. I always get that wrong. 834 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we de sign on a Sunday, two of 835 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: us along with Sabine. We're gonna go to lunch. Now, 836 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: we had all kinds of debate about where we're gonna go, 837 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: when we're gonna go. The timing was off. When is 838 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: Sabine coming? You walking here? Now, that was a lot 839 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: of things that were that came to be to get 840 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: us Edwards and we're sitting outside for dying. Now. We 841 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: get there and we're sitting in the table that is 842 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: in the far corner of this outdoor sitting area. So 843 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 1: a better way to describe it. Let's say, if a 844 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: car was going to hit that structure, we would be 845 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: hit first. Is that fair to say? 846 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, Because the direction of West Broadway is heading 847 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 2: south and we were on that southeast corner. 848 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: So we were right there in the line of danger. 849 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 1: We didn't realize or didn't think about that. You don't 850 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: you just sit outside and eat. So we're going to 851 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: sit at this table. And we had, for whatever reason, 852 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: a strange amount of time that we debated where everybody 853 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: was going to sit. I can't remember why, but I 854 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: think it was me who were saying, well, you go there, 855 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: you go. 856 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: Why I don't know, but there was a discussion, and 857 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: finally it turned out that you and I had our 858 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 2: backs to the road. And these structures are out in 859 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 2: the road where people would park for people would be driving, 860 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 2: but you're actually taking up a lane. Basically, these structures 861 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 2: are jutting out. A lot fewer of them because the 862 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 2: city came down on them, but this is one of 863 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 2: the ones that is left over from the pandemic. And 864 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 2: then Sabine was sitting across from us, but you and 865 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 2: I had our backs to the traffic. 866 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: Coming, so Sabine could see, but there was a little 867 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: barrier she had had to lift up, so she couldn't 868 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: see it clearly, the traffic that was coming. So we're 869 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: sitting there having a good time, enjoying lunch, and our 870 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: back is to the traffic and I hear, well, I 871 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 1: guess we all hear screeching tires, right, screeching. We start 872 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: to hear this. So by the time you hear the 873 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: screeching tires, then you hear impact. Impact. You hear a 874 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: vehicle crash into another. Now at this point I turn 875 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: and look back, but I have to sit up a 876 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: little bit because of a little barrier to see clearly 877 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: what was coming. And what I saw coming at speed 878 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 1: was a white mini van with the red cross label 879 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,720 Speaker 1: on the front. This is a true sorry, right Cross. 880 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm not trying to call you all out, 881 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: but this is what was coming at us. So imagine that, folks, 882 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 1: you are sitting with a piece of plywood as the 883 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 1: only thing between you and a vehicle coming at speed 884 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: that had just crashed into another parked car that's coming 885 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: at you. So what was the resulting action? 886 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 2: And you say this as if there was time it 887 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 2: was as if it was in still motion, but it 888 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 2: was a split second, and you heard and saw what 889 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 2: you saw, and you took me and you threw me 890 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 2: like you threw me as far away from where the 891 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 2: car would have been coming. And I landed on top 892 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 2: of this older gentleman who then landed on the floor 893 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: as well, so I was thrown onto him, which caused 894 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 2: him to fall over. And I'm laying on top of 895 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: a man. And then, by the way, everyone else in 896 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 2: the restaurant, because hearing this and then seeing our reaction, 897 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 2: everyone started jumping, like you know, like plates were flying. 898 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 3: Everybody was run. 899 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 1: Well, please know everybody, as this is happening, you hear 900 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 1: glasses breaking, crashing down. Everything is just it is an 901 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: insane scene. I don't realize you're on top of the 902 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: other guy. 903 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 2: And Sabina, I've got to say she had some quick 904 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 2: reflexes that she obviously inherited from you, because she jumped 905 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 2: as well, like she just took off. I mean, it 906 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: was everybody. I was really impressed because I know you 907 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 2: either is it flight, flight, fight, or freeze. I think 908 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 2: I froze in that second, but man, I ended up 909 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 2: flying and. 910 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: Me and my black child know how to fight. 911 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 3: We do, but it was this akromm. 912 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, sir. On top of it, he was like, 913 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 2: it's okay, Oh my god. 914 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: So tables are turned over, bags are everywhere, chairs are 915 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: strewn about. So we just calmed down for a second 916 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: and we walk around to the outside of the sitting 917 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: area and sure enough, and you tell me what you think. 918 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: Think how this She finally was able and it was 919 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: a woman driving this Red Cross van. It was I 920 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: think she had one passenger in there with her. But 921 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: she eventually stopped at how far from that plywood and 922 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: from our backs, which one say it. 923 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 2: Was one foot? 924 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 3: I mean, it was scary. 925 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 2: It was everybody like we were shaking. 926 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 3: It was a scary. Oh my god. That could have 927 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 3: been much worse. 928 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 2: And I don't know if her hitting the car was 929 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 2: a buffer for her to then to be able to stop. 930 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 2: But it was actually the chef, the chef of the 931 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 2: restaurant's car park there, so he came out. But it 932 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 2: was It was interesting because in my mind, I'm like, 933 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 2: the Red Cross usually comes to the scene of an 934 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 2: accident or a tragedy or a trauma instead of causing it, 935 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 2: which is what unfortunately this poor driver did. And I 936 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 2: don't know that she spoke much English, because never once 937 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 2: did she come to say everybody, okay, I'm so sorry. Nothing. 938 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 2: She was just kind of stayed in her vehicle. Maybe 939 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 2: she was embarrassed. I don't know, but it was. It 940 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 2: was definitely you know, you live in New York enough 941 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 2: and enough, thing's good. I've never had anything like that 942 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 2: happen where you thought, oh my god, I was inches 943 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 2: away from a very serious and potentially deadly situation and 944 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 2: I we. 945 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: We went back, but this was a couple of days ago. 946 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 2: We went back. 947 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: We we just to be like, hey guys, it's been 948 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: long enough. Let's just go get this. We like the food, 949 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: let's get it. We like the food. But we sat 950 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: in that same seat, well, it was the only seat open. 951 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,399 Speaker 3: Though it was a beautiful day. 952 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 2: We thought, you know what, let's go back and let's 953 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 2: you know, like you know, if you have an accent, 954 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: you get back up on your horse. 955 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 3: Right, let's just get back on this table. We'll be fine. 956 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: We could not. 957 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,399 Speaker 1: We cannot be horse launch ever. 958 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 2: You were nervous. The entire every noise, every every visual, 959 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 2: I mean car that drove by it, it was just like, 960 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 2: we can't come back here again. You can't sit in 961 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 2: that seat again. It's just too much. 962 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: After the experience we had. But it made us think 963 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: because that day, so many things had to come in 964 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: to play, and so many things had to go a 965 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: certain way for us to end up in that seat 966 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: at that exact moment. Life is funny that way. I mean, 967 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: so many decisions, little decisions we made, even to go there, 968 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: the time we went there, where we decided to sit 969 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: who we decided to place where in those seats, because 970 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: you know what scared me is that Sabine was supposed 971 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: to sit in the seat that I ended up sitting 972 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,720 Speaker 1: in right on that side. It just it's a weird. 973 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 2: Life is funny, And if something had gone terribly you 974 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 2: would be going over those moments in your mind at 975 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 2: nauseum because you'd think I should have done this, I 976 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 2: could have done this, Why did we do that? And 977 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 2: it brought you back to so many moments in your 978 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 2: life where you rethink and you try to change the 979 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 2: past by thinking you should have done something differently, when 980 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 2: in reality, sometimes you just have to accept what happened 981 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 2: and then make better choices going forward, which means we 982 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 2: should not sit in that seat again. And I actually 983 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 2: don't even know that I want to sit in an 984 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: outside structure again, because you feel like the sense of 985 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 2: invincibility until something like that happens and you think it 986 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 2: just takes you're Now, I'm trusting that every driver driving 987 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 2: down those streets in Manhattan is paying attention, isn't you know, 988 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 2: messing with their phone or changing the channel on their 989 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 2: you know, on whatever music they're listening to. It takes 990 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 2: one second to look down to miss and to to 991 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 2: hit something or someone. And so yes, I I am 992 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 2: changing my behavior and even trying it again. Making it 993 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 2: known that we can't sit there peacefully is all I 994 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 2: need to know that I probably am not going to 995 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: sit out in those structures again. 996 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: That's a one hundred percentury story that them. 997 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 2: It also made us. These are all the little moments, 998 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 2: you know, where you just it's again time. We're all 999 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 2: on borrow time. No one knows what tomorrow brings, and 1000 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 2: it's just another reminder. We kind of really felt it 1001 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 2: that day, and it's continued for us to appreciate what 1002 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 2: you have, appreciate who you're with, tell the people you 1003 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 2: love that you love them. It's just you never know. 1004 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 2: It can take one second and everything changes. 1005 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: It was a lesson. It was a lesson, but I'm 1006 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: glad I learned it. And that's going to pay off 1007 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: for us at some point somewhere else. We're going to 1008 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: make a decision based on that experience that's going to 1009 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: pay off for us, and we don't even realize how 1010 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: it's going to pay off. So we'll see moving forward. 1011 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 1: But we do want you all to know your folks 1012 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 1: in Chicago in the surrounding area, we're going to see 1013 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: you only a couple of weeks.
