00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: did you do this week to give yourself a beat,

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: give yourself a break, give yourself a little time to recover. Well,

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: you know what we did. We ran out to see

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: a horror movie. We also took morning walks. We watched

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: an amazing thunderstorm. We continued supporting the arts and saw

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: a show that was way off Broadway. We found chicken

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: wings in a basement, and we got two kids out

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: of the house. As of today, welcome to this recovery

Speaker 1: everybody are in order for it is Amy Robaka.

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Yes, and one one girl is done tuition all paid.

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: That is a huge, huge, big deal. But yes, she moved.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: My oldest Eva moved back in for three months, and

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: then my youngest was back home from college and so

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: the three of us girls were in one apartment for

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: the first time in four years.

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it went well. I think it was like, uh.

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: You had a front row seat to all the dynamics

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: and drama.

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I had nosebleed seats. I didn't want

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: to close, Yes, but it was it was really rose.

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: This was a hell of a summer. We made it

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: through the summer. Today really is the day because uh

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: and at last left early this week on what Friday, yep, Friday,

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: and then the other one moved out today on Saturday,

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: and so that's it.

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: She's spending her first night in her first big girl

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: apartment that big girls paying for all by herself. It's

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: very exciting. She's in Brooklyn and we can visit, she

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: can visit. It's healthier that way.

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: You know. I think a lot of us said as

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: we became adults, like how far you want to be

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: from your parents? Right? You want to be far enough

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: that they can't just hop in the car and run over,

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: but they need to be close enough that you still

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: have access to them if you need their help to

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: cover the kids. That kind of a thing, right. I

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: think A was now at a healthy distance from us,

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: given where we're living.

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Yes, we're and for two people, or for I guess

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: the two groups of people living in the city, we're

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: about as far away from each other as we can

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: get while still being in New York sitting.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: It's a very good but it was. It was a

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: fun summer. And yes, you'll have a moment your mom

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: was telling you you'll have a moment where you get

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: sad the girls are gone. But I haven't seen no

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: signs of that.

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: Well when I walk by underneath the bench, when you

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: first walk in and see, I won't see like two

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: hundred pairs of shoes scattered all over the place, little

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: droppings of just makeup in boxes and empty glasses and

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: half eaten bowls of whatever. I'm not going to miss that.

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what I you know, I miss

57
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: you know as much as I complain about it. And

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I do a lot of cooking. Most of the cooking.

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: All of the cooking, there is something fun and it

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: makes you feel good when people run in and they

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: just tear through your food, right right. They don't hop

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: on my plate, but I make you this full meal

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: and they come in and just rip through it. Like

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: that's so annoying when you tell me you wanted food.

65
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: But it's cool to have people I don't know to

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: be parenting in that way. It's because we feel like

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: our parents that always every time you go home, right,

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: they want to cook for you.

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: I think it'll be really nice to have that balance again.

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: Though.

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: Anna Lise will come back for Christmas, Thanksgiving all that stuff,

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: Ababile visit here and there. But yeah, we're gonna get

73
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: used to a very different way of life starting now.

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah we just got to Oh so being's about to

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: be thirteen, so we're gonna have to deal with that.

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we got two kind of just moving up

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: and out, and then we've got one coming up that

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: is a whole other can of worms that I have

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: already lived through. But don't worry, babe, I got you,

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: been there, done that twice.

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: The other thing, of course, anybody listened to us for

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: any period of time knows we are horror not just

83
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: horror movie fans. It goes a little farther to a

84
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: little bit of an obsession. We are horror movie buffs

85
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: for sure. This is one Robes, one of the one

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: of those rare original horror movies that it's being so

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: well reviewed. But we couldn't wait to get out and

88
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: see weapons.

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw weapons. The movie we saw with all

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: the girls actually was kind of a nice final that's

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: actually the final time the three girls were together. We

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: didn't even realize it was kind of a moment, but yeah,

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: we had to beIN Ava and Analyse and the two

94
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: of us. And the movie was as promised it delivered.

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: It was so well written. The ending I wasn't a

96
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: huge fan of, but throughout it I laughed, I jumped.

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: I was very much leaning forward and waiting for the

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: next storyline or twist.

99
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: The movie was fun.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: Kept me on my toes.

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: That movie was done so well. Everybody knows the premise

102
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: at this point, but it starts right off there. All

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: these kids walked out of the house at the same

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: time one night. Where did they go? And that is

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the mystery. The whole time, they're piecing together and I

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't know ro if they told the story. And it's

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily episodic, but through different perspectives, So it started

108
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: with the vantage point of this person, than that person,

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: then that person. It was great.

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're piecing it together through the lens of

111
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: each character and it's pretty cool and eventually the big

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: reveal happens and it was great. So it was It

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: was just gory enough, it was just suspenseful enough. It

114
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: had you thinking what could be going on, what could

115
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: be happening? You were invested in the characters. The acting

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: was phenomenal. I thought the script was so good. It

117
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: was comedic in just the right ways.

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the final Oh oh, it's great. So

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: we don't want it because it's so cute to make

120
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: sure and please don't tell anybody if you know what

121
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: happens and what the whole storyline is, because it is

122
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: worth it. It is incredible. Highly recommend this and Cinners.

123
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: That is wonderful to see original stories, not another like

124
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Halloween twenty. This is an original. These are original horror

125
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: movies that are doing well. I would love to see

126
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: more of this.

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: It is so fun to see genre that we have

128
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: loved for decades, Like I as long as I've been

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: watching movies, I believe, really truly since second grade, I

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: have been somewhat and very much so obsessed with horror

131
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: movies and to see other people get on board it

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: becoming more of a mainstream experience and having the creative

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: folks take that genre to another level. It really has

134
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: been elevated significantly since we started watching in the eighties,

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: the early eighties. So yes, I'm so excited more. Please,

136
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: and just it's a fun way. People always think and

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: how would that be relaxing or how would that be

138
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: a recovery to go see a horror movie. But I

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: feel like I've always described going to horror movie and

140
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: enjoying horror movies as safe fear. It's an adrenaline rush,

141
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: but you know you're perfectly safe. You're in a movie theater,

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: you're on your couch, whatever, and yet you're experiencing these

143
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: thrills without actually being in danger.

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: I want to have Conjuring five is coming up, right.

145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, September fifth. We cannot wait for that.

146
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I am big on that. I don't know. I don't

147
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: think this happened until I came to New York. I

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: am really big on morning walks. And I have dragged you. No,

149
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: that's not fair. I didn't drag you with me. You

150
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: were a willing participant. But I love getting up in

151
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: the morning. And we have done this, really has it

152
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: almost been every morning taken a walk.

153
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: And this has been the first week. We've done this.

154
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Every now and then on a Sunday morning or a

155
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, you have said to me, Hey, you want

156
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: to go take a walk. We don't even have to

157
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: have a destination. Let's just get up so we've done

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: it periodically, but we've never consistently done it. And this week,

159
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, You've just said to me, hey, let's

160
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: go for our walk. And so we've kind of become

161
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: this old retired couple who gets up in the morning

162
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: and walks together. In fact, he actually been We took

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: a couple of evening walks too, and Annalie's just a

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: final last little jab in jeer before she left for college,

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: was actually laughing at us and she was making fun Yes,

166
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: She's like, are you eighty? And I was like, whatever,

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: you wish you could had a best friend to take care.

168
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know you're not supposed to walk.

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of what older people do because they

170
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: can't do a lot of other highly exertive activities, so

171
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: they would walk, which is great for you.

172
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: It's amazing. In the summer, the best time to be

173
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: out in the city, very early in the morning or

174
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: in the evening. There's a nice, little cool breeze, it's

175
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: still muggy enough. It feels great. Great, it's being a

176
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: T shirt and it's quiet on the street. Oh. I

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: love the way. I didn't know I was doing an

178
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: old person thing.

179
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: I have enthusiastically jumped up and said yes to each

180
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: one of your offers for a walk, and I am

181
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: now kind of excited about having that become a thing.

182
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: We really is, it's become a thing. And we also

183
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: go on our morning runs later when we because we're

184
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: still training for a half marathon here in a couple

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: of weeks, but it's nice to have the walk before

186
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: the run.

187
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, speaking of old people and walks, this

188
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: isn't gonna help. One of those evening walks we went

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: on was specifically to go get pecans.

190
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: So that's when Anna was really making fun of us.

191
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: At least.

192
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: It's like, wait, what are you doing? And I said,

193
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: we're going on a walks, Like why are you going

194
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: on a walk to get pecans? And she burst into laughter,

195
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: so she was she was like, I said, we're going

196
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: to seven eleven to get pecans. And that's when she

197
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: started laughing because usually if you go to a seven

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: eleven run, you're going to get funions, or you're going

199
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: to get some terrible ice cream or some bad thing.

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: We're like, we're getting pecans, which she just thought the

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: whole thing was hilarious to her.

202
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: But folks, we talked about this as well. We're both

203
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: keto went back to its three plus months ago now,

204
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: but can't have any sugar. I used to be very

205
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: big twizzler person, need candy sweets of some kind, So

206
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: no sugars. But a pecan is a low car but

207
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: kind of a sweet little snack for me, and those

208
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: little bites I love. And I had to have pecans.

209
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: It's amazing because once you cut sugar out, you start

210
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: tasting things that you never considered to be sweet as sweet,

211
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: and pecans are among them. Why does this taste like candy?

212
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Now? Pecan says like jolly ranchers.

213
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, seven to eleven and two other badegas. Somehow we're

214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: all out of pecans, And so we were walking back

215
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden we see this scary basement

216
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: establishment but it says atomic Wings.

217
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: We see the sign all the time. We've never gone

218
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: in there, and if you look at it, it doesn't

219
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: look like a real establishment is there.

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: It actually looks like something out of a movie set

221
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: in Chinatown. Like it just you're like, wait, this is

222
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: this really an okay place to go down into?

223
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: And sure enough, because there's no storefront. If you look

224
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: at you just see atomic wings. But you look and

225
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: there's just a wall. You actually have to walk down stairs.

226
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: What too make scary lighting. And I'm telling you, there's

227
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: no way I would have gone if I hadn't been

228
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: with you.

229
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: I love this. It reminded me. I TOLDE this was

230
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: reminded me of someplace in the South, some places, some

231
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: neighborhood joined some restaurants that were set up in people's

232
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: kitchen and out back.

233
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: It had like cafeteria chairs down there, and it had.

234
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: The smell, the look, the feet. It all felt like

235
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: the South to me, not just the South, but the country.

236
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: It was almost like like outdoor furniture was downstairs and

237
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: no one was there except for people coming in to

238
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: pick up deliveries.

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: And they were great.

240
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: The wings were amazing. It sounds funny, but some one

241
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: of the things you can eat, and I got the

242
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: boneless wings, which I love and what I ended up

243
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: getting hot, But I was afraid to get They had

244
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: atomic what were they they had suicidal?

245
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: What was the other nuclear?

246
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: Nuclear going? But that scared me. That scared me, so

247
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: I went with hot. It was really really good, but

248
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: that was unexpected. So yeah, we came back home. With

249
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: wings instead of a cons And then Annalice wasn't laughing,

250
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: she was excited.

251
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: She joined in, which night was a thunderstorm?

252
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: I think that might have all been the same night.

253
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Was it that thunderstorm? Was it? It was? We love

254
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: a good thunderstorm. We're from the South, we get them regularly,

255
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: but up here not as much, and certainly right over

256
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the city we had and that we were excited about it.

257
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: But then again a little scary.

258
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, we have a kind of a small

259
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: balcony that overlooks Broadway. But the lightning. I have never

260
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: seen a lightning storm like this in my twenty plus

261
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: years in Manhattan. And it went on for I mean

262
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: over an hour, and the sky was just lit up

263
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: and the booming of the thunder and then watching people

264
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: running with torrential rain, I mean, is it is a

265
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Manhattan moment. It's a New York moment. Because honestly, none

266
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: of us were expecting it, so a lot of folks

267
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: didn't have umbrellas. We were watching people try to hide

268
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 2: in alcoves from the rain. It was. It was just

269
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: beautiful to see and people laughing and running. It was

270
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: you know, people, It was a kind of a joyful oddly,

271
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: if that makes any sense.

272
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: But you always have to stop and enjoy the rain

273
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: a thunderstorm, it always feels like a cleansing to me.

274
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: But they was putting on a show and we had

275
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: this front row seat to it at the time here,

276
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: but there was crackling to the point that I say, hey,

277
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: we should probably get off the balcony.

278
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: Well. Also a fun fact here, Yes, I am the

279
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: child of two parents who've been struck by lightning. And seriously,

280
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: my uncle actually died in this fourth of July lightning storm,

281
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: so I have all people should be aware. I was

282
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: there at the time when it all happened, so yes,

283
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: lightning is nothing to mess with. So we did back

284
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: off the balcony. Even though we had an overhang, it

285
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: felt mostly protected. But you can never be too careful.

286
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: So yes, we watched it safely from indoors, but we

287
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: left the door open so we could hear the thunder. Oh,

288
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: it was sold the.

289
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: Hell of a show. But really two highlights of the

290
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: week both had to do with your kids. One and

291
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: off Broadway show that one of your kids produced, and

292
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: the other thing had to do with them both leaving.

293
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Recovery run on this Saturday morning

294
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: run where we're talking about the moments this week that

295
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: we took to intentionally recover, relax, enjoy our lives in

296
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: the hopes that you'll reflect on your week as well

297
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: and maybe intentionally make sure that you make time for

298
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: you and for your relationships that matter and put all

299
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: that work and stress aside and really focus on marking

300
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: these moments. I think it's important to do so. But

301
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: one of those moments came. It was the fourth time

302
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: we have seen each and every show that Ava has produced.

303
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: It's called Wigs and Wigs. The play is what it's called.

304
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: It's an improv comedic show and they have different genres

305
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: each performance they put on. It could be a rom com,

306
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: it could be a Western, or it could be a

307
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: Who Done It? But Ava came up with the concept

308
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: and these actors are all phenomenal and it's just been

309
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: a joy to watch each time because every show is different.

310
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: And she got some amazing news following her fourth performance,

311
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: and I'm just I'm so proud and also at the

312
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: same time just actually as a spectator enjoying the hell

313
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: of it. So Bean has said, yes, I'll come to

314
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: everyone she's been able to make we don't.

315
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: Even have to invite her. She's like, oh, yeah, what

316
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: tell me to day at the time we have her

317
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: at the first show is nine thirty at night. She

318
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, let's do this, but it really look

319
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: we wouldn't. We wouldn't. We were enthusiastic about going each time.

320
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: And it's again, we were there from concept that we

321
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: didn't understand when she said it out loud, and I

322
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: hear that so often in the arts in Hollywood when

323
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: you talk to a producer from hit shows or whatever,

324
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: said yeah, I was turned down seven to four times

325
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: because somebody didn't understand how stranger things might work, right, right,

326
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: those guys got turned down a ton of times before

327
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: they have now this mega hit. And I see what

328
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: she's doing now to where we heard a concept.

329
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Like okay, I mean okay, you're getting wigs on actors

330
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: and they become different people and it's all improv and

331
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: there's no script and that could be huge bust or

332
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: it could be a huge blast.

333
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: And now we're like, when's your next show exactly?

334
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: And the cool thing is someone else thought that too,

335
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: And so she just got word that they are now

336
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: getting a residency a weekly show off Broadway at the Pit.

337
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: It's an iconic comedic improv theater and it's perfect, it's intimate,

338
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: it's cool. They're not making hardly any money, but they're

339
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: making something. And to get a residency, to get a

340
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: permanent gig or at least a fall run is really cool.

341
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: So I'm really proud of her and really excited to

342
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: go to the next show.

343
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Well, you should be proud of her. She's got a

344
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: big girl pants on these days.

345
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Right at a big girl apartment.

346
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: Again, we mentioned that the at the top here this

347
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: was the day officially that you are empty nesting again.

348
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: Does it as you sit here now, does it feel

349
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: like recovery?

350
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: I think yes. It's a shift in energy and focus.

351
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: You know, when your kids are around you, you're always

352
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: thinking about what they're doing, how they're doing, where they

353
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: are when you can spend time with them, even from

354
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: will they be here for dinner or all? To know

355
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: now that they have their own schedules and their own

356
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 2: lives and it really has nothing to do with me,

357
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: at least for the next couple of months. At first,

358
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: it feels a little scary, like, Okay, I just got

359
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: to let them do their thing, but I can also

360
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: relax and release and be proud of where they are

361
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: and give myself a little bit of a break that

362
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: I get to take a step back and kind of

363
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: look at it like that, How lucky am I to

364
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: be able to take a step back that they're taking

365
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: their own step forward into the world, and instead of

366
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: it being a sad thing or something I'm missing out on,

367
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: I can actually just cheer them on and lean into us. Actually,

368
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: I love that I'm with someone who I really like

369
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: being with and want to be around. I think, sadly,

370
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: a lot of folks you find out what your relationships

371
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: really like or worth once your kids are gone, because

372
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: there's such a focus in such a distraction when they're gone.

373
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: If you don't really like the person that you're sharing

374
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: your life with, it'll become really evident really soon. Unfortunately,

375
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: I think we.

376
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: Had the opposite problem. Yeah, because they were there, it

377
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: was causing relationship strength. Love you girls kidding, But it's.

378
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: A shift, you know, especially when it's someone else's kids

379
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: and they're older, they're assertive, and they have you know,

380
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: they're not as compliance perhaps even as younger kids are.

381
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's a it's a dance.

382
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: It was every time I told them to go in

383
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: time out, it didn't work.

384
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: I know they they they love you. They are always

385
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: like as TEJ, there is TJ coming, What about me?

386
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: You care if I'm there? You care if I'm coming.

387
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: But no, I'm looking forward to this. It will be

388
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: more peaceful, and I think having some privacy we haven't

389
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: had a lot of that is going to be wonderful.

390
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: Well, folks, whatever you did this week, we certainly hope

391
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you took time to take care of yourself a little bit.
