12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: still have my red RNE. I was remember when I

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: used to make jade and tonics, I missed the list.

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: If we ever get back to our sex in the City.

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Well, yes, we do have to do that soon. I

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: don't think this year. I don't think we're gonna end

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: up doing it this year.

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: We have not forgotten it though, listeners. No, maybe maybe

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I'll do a special I'll bring that back.

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: Well, we also need to do cocktails and beers. Like

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: we have fallen a little behind on what this was

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: because this was supposed to be less research, but it wasn't.

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: When I was like, I have to find products and

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: I have special order this and I'm not planning. I'm

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: just saying that's what it takes it. So that's why

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: we're bringing a little lazy ish. I don't know, but

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: that is ish.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a happy hour. You can talk about

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: any all kind of.

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: Things, right, all the things. That's what we want to do.

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: And today I'm talking about whether or not I'm going

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: to take a hobby that I have into the next level.

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: So Annie, I think I told you this recently, but

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: I have in my zoomba slash dance jam, cardio jams,

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, classes have kind of

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: stepped up. I've been in these classes since probably like

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, so pretty pretty long time, over ten years,

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: eleven years almost. And I love my people like I

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: really hold them dear as a group of friends that

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: I love as. In fact, before the pandemic, I think

41
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: we had a birthday party and several of those friends

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: came to my party. It was really odd, not because

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: they were there, but because I had different sects of

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: friends there that I was trying to get to mesh

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: and I had new friends that I met at work

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: that was before you know, being trying to like that

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: was my last official like big birthday thing because it

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: made me panic because I did such things of like

49
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: bringing all those groups together. But all that to say

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: is I have a really fun time with them. It

51
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: is my release and for the past after pandemic, this

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: has been my socialization. Like I don't even see my

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: closest friends but like outside of you any but like

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: every few months. And honestly, if we didn't work together,

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't see you, not because we don't want to.

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Because we haven't done our Sunday Sunday Sunday in forever. Yeah,

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: you know, so that was a pretty big deal. We

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: finally did some stuff and got together because of the

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: last of us and it was traditionally done at our house,

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 2: so we started it. We stuck with it, and we'll

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: do it again. But since then, I haven't seen you

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: at the house, like you come to dogsit, but not

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: really do anything else. I'm thinking about it. Do we

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: do something else in between? Then? Uh?

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: My birthday? We went our birthday, yes, for dinner.

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: To keep back home, didn't I You didn't come to

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: the house.

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we look. I had an excellent

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday Sunday this Sunday, oh and I and I

70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: was thinking, well, because part of it is your partner's

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: been traveling a lot lately and he really needs to

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: be there. But we do need to do it again soon,

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: because I was like, I miss I've missed doing this.

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: We have not had our time together where you have

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: all of the cocktails themed cocktails and thoughts and my

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: partner loudly talk about thoughts and theories and things that

77
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: you can't believe people don't know or they should know

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: loudly while I'm like I'm going to bed. Yeah, it's

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: a happy time for all of us. But with that, so, yes,

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: I've been doing these classes for a while, and that's

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: a joy that I have. Is I love to dance.

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: I have always loved to dance. I've loved to dances childhood.

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: I tried to get into dance companies. I wasn't that good.

84
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: I think it was just my self esteem is so

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: low that if I can't do it immediately, then I

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: just quit. And that's kind of what happened with that.

87
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 2: But when I was in cheerleading, I loved that because

88
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: we got to dance, we got to do routines, and

89
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: that's something that really feeds me that I just love

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: so like my good friends shout out, I don't think

91
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: they'll ever listen to the show. But I had two friends,

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Cassie and Christina. The three of us were trios, and

93
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: we would do dance routines together. Because those two were

94
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: actually in companies and they were competitive and good. I

95
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: was very jealous because they were in all the activities.

96
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: They were only children with lots of money. So but

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: all that to say is like we would do routines together.

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: We I think I've told the story about how we

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: had a cat funeral for like a kitten that died

100
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: immediately after being birth, and so we sang Wilson Phillips

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: songs over this graveyard. Yes we did, any Yes we did.

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: Like that's some of the things that I grew up

103
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: loving doing. And so, by the way, when I saw

104
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: Bridesmaids and they brought that song back, I was like,

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: my song anyway, Yeah, how could they without us? It's okay,

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm fine. But since then, I've really found a lot

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: of joy in doing these classes with these group of

108
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: people who love it as much as I do. I,

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Like I said, I think previously I TikTok video talked

110
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: about how these classes or the new Dance Club for

111
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: the millennials, because we don't want to go out, but

112
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: we just want to dance with people and have a

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: good time. So I have stepped up that game and

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: teaching routines myself. During these classes. I will shout out

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: to my teacher Fred and Gigi, who are two of

116
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: the instructors that I have been recently take getting classes with.

117
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: They have really pulled me up to do these things

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: and when I make up a routine, They're like, yes,

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: come do it. So it's so encouraging. But with that,

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: people in those classes have asked me to start teaching

121
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, should I? But again, my self

122
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: esteem in that I am forty five years old now, y'all.

123
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: I am tired sitting at this chair. I just complained

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: it was hurting my knee. I met the deductible this

125
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: year trying to fix all the joints and joint pain

126
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: that I've had. But also like I do have a

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: good ability to teach, Like I'm one of those people

128
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: that I've told you if I know I can do something,

129
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: I know I can do that, but it takes me

130
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: a lot to get to that point. I don't know

131
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: if they could teach a full class, an hour long class,

132
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: in a way that's fun for everyone, because that would

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: kill me if people got bored, if I got complaints,

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: if people walked out, if I didn't have enough people

135
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: a class, it would feel like a judgment on me.

136
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that would kill something that

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: I love, you know, Like, I mean, like I get

138
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: really encouraged by the people telling me that they would

139
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: come to my class, would be so excited to do

140
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: the class with me. I've had pen them say that,

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: like some of the routines that I've taught. They're like,

142
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: that's so easy coming from you type with the conversation.

143
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, that's really nice, and I would

144
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: love to be a part of that. But at the

145
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: same time, there's a lot of trepidation in trying to

146
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: do that. Again, I'm not performing for like thousands of people.

147
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: It would be a group of twenty people, you know,

148
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: dancing and just having a good time. But even like

149
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: when new people come to class and like they're standing

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: behind me, they may not be talking about me, but

151
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: my paranoise when they're giggling or laughing and seemingly joking

152
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: that it's it's aimed at me or or someone who

153
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: I love, or someone who is trying their best. Like

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: the idea that happening to the people also really freaks

155
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: me out too because of that, but that I need

156
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: to be like protecting people and be like let people

157
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: enjoy things. There's so much in that that I'm like,

158
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: I do I am interested in in this. I don't

159
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: know if that'm that confident.

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot that I think a lot of people,

161
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: including myself, can relate to, and that I've said often.

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, I turn a lot of things I love

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: into work and that that kind of ruins them for me,

164
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: or not ruins them, but it becomes a more stressful.

165
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: It's a have to instead of want.

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: To exactly, and it would become a more I have

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: to put more work into this, I have to be

168
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: more serious about this, I have to think more about this.

169
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: But also it is rewarding. You've been doing it for

170
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: so long, and I think that I personally think that

171
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: you're a good teacher. And so we did and I did, yeah, well,

172
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, see good teacher. I personally think

173
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: you're a good teacher. So I think there's there's a

174
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: reward to be found in that. And I do think

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: that if you give it a good effort, which I

176
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: know you would, because you've clearly made it your little

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: paranoid so you put work into it. Not parent that's

178
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: not right, but self conscious you're yeah, you're and you

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: know that shows that you care about it. But I

180
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: think that people do want you to succeed in general.

181
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I think that most people do, because the pain of

182
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: failing is one you would have to endure with everybody.

183
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: I kind of want to build people up in a situation.

184
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: Like that, I would hope, so like there's definitely that

185
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: level of like seeing because I've seen others, and I

186
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: think this journey is because I've been with people for

187
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: so long in these classes, and some people who are

188
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: now wanting to teach are my fellow classmates, and so

189
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: they're like, you should do it with me, you should

190
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: do it with me. And some people who I'm like,

191
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: you might have some struggles and not because they're not trying,

192
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: but because there are some things that they don't they're

193
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: not aware that they're not doing correctly, whether it's they're shy,

194
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: so that they're not speaking out loudly to lead like

195
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: all those things, which is a matter of both like

196
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: wear a mic, like all these things are like all

197
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: these different things, but like, yeah, I do love this,

198
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: and you know, in my fantasy world, I'm like, yes,

199
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm good at this. I could do this once or

200
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: twice a week. It gives me free access to like

201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: good fitness centers that I don't have to worry about

202
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: paying for, which would be nice. Like that's honestly, that's

203
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: the other thought was, like I could get I could

204
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: I could no longer have to pay and I could

205
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: just come to this gym membership for free. That's kind

206
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: of nice. Nice, So that saves me about you know,

207
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars a year leg out, you know, type

208
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: of conversation. So they're definitely those benefits. But then also

209
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: like I actually I would have to study there's you know,

210
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: certifications that you have to learn about physical fitness and

211
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: it's not easy. Like these are things are that you

212
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: should know people's healths though people don't get injured or

213
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: so like helping and assist and like in different conversations

214
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: and what type of exercise is good for this type

215
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: of people type of thing. Also, like if y'all know

216
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: about zomba, Zoomba is a cult in its own So

217
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: that would definitely not be what I would want to teach,

218
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: even though I take a lot of these classes. The

219
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,479
Speaker 2: people who teach zumba that I go to do variations,

220
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: So like it's not just straight like radio mix Tibo,

221
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: which there's nothing with Tibo. I did it. I did it,

222
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: you know I'm talking about.

223
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: With Tibo's I think I did it too.

224
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not jazzer size, which there's nothing wrong with that.

225
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: I think that still exists. I know there's a big

226
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: studio in Atlanta that's still.

227
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these things are coming back,

228
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: are they okay?

229
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: Okay? But like my jam is to dance tough routines

230
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: pretty easy, like adding squats and jumping jacks and all

231
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: these things into it so you can do all the variations.

232
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, there are things that I'm thinking on. But

233
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: it does, it does put in an effort. There is

234
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: an effort, So that is the other question. Also, this

235
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: is a commitment, And if you've not heard, I have

236
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: not noticed about me. I don't commit very long to

237
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: some things in my hobbies. I still have. I've worked

238
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: on my punch needle present for you as coming, and

239
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 2: I pulled it out the other day. I'm still coloring.

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: I really love my little coloring. And a friend of

241
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: the show, Katie, got me some new markers and that's helped.

242
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: Although this one was like those are real like wet,

243
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how, so they kind of spread a

244
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 2: little far. I have to hit some learning card with those,

245
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: but I like them a lot. They're pretty, They're very

246
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: good colors. I'm still doing my gardening and I've had

247
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: probably around twenty tomatoes y'all successfully.

248
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing.

249
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: And I got nine to ten more growing right now,

250
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: which I'm a little fearful because the temperatures are dipping,

251
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: so I'm like, do I need to cover them? Now?

252
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: What do I need to do? And tons and tons

253
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: of like small cherry tomatoes, about five peppers, like a

254
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: couple of them got eaten. You don't get those as

255
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: fast as the tomatoes, so but yeah, I've like five

256
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: bigger peppers and at least four jalapeno peppers, which I

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: have not been very spicy, but they're still yummy. And

258
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: tons of basil. I have spread that basil out everywhere

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: that I will say, I got tons of basil. So

260
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: the gardening stuff is happening. Well. My new venture is

261
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: trying to do like other vegetables which still need like

262
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: better land. I think that's the whole thing. But yeah,

263
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: so just adding on to the things that I'm like

264
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: as I'm getting older, like do I want to I

265
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: want to find more interests. I want to do more things.

266
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: I definitely need to be more active because I don't want,

267
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: like at my muscle to deteriorate or any of that

268
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: is less of like losing weight or doing any of

269
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: that other than like I want to make sure that

270
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: I can walk upstairs and not fall anyway. But yeah,

271
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: so let me know what have any of y'all? What

272
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: is your take? Because I think I feel like the

273
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: more and more I talk to people, it's not until

274
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: later in life that you pick up new loves and

275
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: new activities. You know.

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could definitely see that. I could definitely.

277
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: I mean.

278
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Not to compare you to my mom, but my mom.

279
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: Your mom is very sweet.

280
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: My mom is amazing everybody, and I actually desperately want

281
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: the two of you to meet.

282
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: I know, I cannot believe I've not met your mother yet.

283
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is. She is so sweet. I actually almost

284
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: invited her when I was dog sitting to stay at

285
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: your place. You should have because your place is much

286
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: bigger than mine. So she stayed with me in my

287
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: one bedroom apartment. But she got into like a lot

288
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: of like, uh, puzzles and gardening and just all of

289
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: these things that she does that I love hearing about

290
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: her updates on them and all of that stuff. But

291
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything she did when she was younger, right, Yeah.

292
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean, like her reasoning and my reasoning are different.

293
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: She had children, and I feel like that was a

294
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: whole different conversation. Like a lot of people who have

295
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: children kind of pause their activities because they have this

296
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: huge responsibility and you have a lot on your plate.

297
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: So being able to divvy out work, children hobbies, you're

298
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: going to lose your hobbies first. Which we have people

299
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: who bring their children to the classes. I love that

300
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: so much, especially when kids are willing, because it is

301
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: really especially for your first time, first or second time,

302
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: it's really unnerving because you know nothing, and then people

303
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: who've been there, like me who've been ten years, know

304
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: every all of the routines. Pretty quickly, and we know

305
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: how each person paces the routine, so you catch on

306
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: pretty quickly. So for people who are brand new, they're

307
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: like oh, and having young teenagers come and do it

308
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: is one of the most fulfilling like moments. As just

309
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760
