They're always about movies 10 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 4: and you're running? 11 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess yeah. I think sometimes answering questions about 12 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 5: myself feels weird. 13 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 4: Oh well, at. 14 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 3: Least you're not the one like answering them, you know, 15 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 3: I ask you okay, so hopefully that makes it better. 16 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 4: Is Mike D still trying to be a Rotten Tomatoes 17 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 4: critic erin. 18 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: I've given up on that dream. 19 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 5: I applied for three, maybe four years straight, and I 20 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 5: don't even think they take applications anymore because they stop. 21 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: The criteria was so hard to get in. 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 5: It led me to believe that they don't really accept 23 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 5: anybody like they have people who either they know or 24 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 5: you have to kind of be in some kind of circle. 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 5: Because I met every single requirement to become an official critic, 26 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 5: and they never allowed it like the first couple of 27 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 5: years they were like, now you have to do something 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 5: for a year. And I'd maybe started my podcast that 29 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 5: same year that I applied, so that was twenty nineteen, 30 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 5: and they just never accepted it. Even after I'd been 31 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 5: doing it for one to two years. Send them all 32 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 5: my credentials. They're like, now you don't meet the requirements. 33 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 5: So it led me to believe that they don't really 34 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 5: take real people. And now that I don't even see 35 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 5: the applications open up, I just think it's all a sham. 36 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: You need to go down the conspiracy theory threat I 37 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: find not if your accusition's true. 38 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 5: I think the only thing legit on there is the 39 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 5: audience score, because you can sign up for an account 40 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 5: and contribute to that, and I'm like, I want to 41 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 5: do that. I'll do that on my letterbox for all 42 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 5: my podcast. But aside from that, I'm like, ah, I'm good. 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: Done with you, Ron too. 44 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 45 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 4: Do you trust their scores still or have you also 46 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 4: backed off of that? 47 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 5: I also don't look at the scores anymore because when 48 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 5: I go watch a movie, don't. 49 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to be influence anyway. 50 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 5: So if I know what the score is going into it, 51 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 5: it's going to change my mentality on it. 52 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: And I won't even. 53 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 5: Go look at anybody else's review until after I've recorded mine, 54 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 5: because I don't want to accidentally take what they felt 55 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 5: about the movie or some kind of inspiration from those reviews. 56 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 5: So I'll go watch a movie, record mine, and then 57 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: dive into what everybody else is saying and maybe bring 58 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 5: it up later. But I just like to be completely 59 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 5: in my own perspective. 60 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: Okay, well, there you go. 61 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: That's why you're also the expert. Do you take notes 62 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: during the movie for your podcast? More and from Austin, 63 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: I do. 64 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 5: I set my phone to like the dark mode because 65 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 5: you can't see it, and then I'll take notes throughout. 66 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 5: If I see something that I'm like, oh, that'd be 67 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: funny to talk about, or an interesting point, I'll always 68 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 5: write the title of the movie and then all my 69 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 5: random thoughts. So before I sit down to record a review, 70 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 5: I just have all these things like weird camera angle, 71 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 5: awkward facial inter interaction, or like weird line, or just 72 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 5: something about the plot or a song or something, and 73 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 5: then I'll just kind of go down through all my 74 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 5: notes as I do my review. 75 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: So always taking notes. 76 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: If I don't take notes or hit my timer on 77 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 5: how long the movie is, I feel off. 78 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: Really yeah, do you feel like it takes away from 79 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: getting to enjoy the movie? 80 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: Do you ever go to a movie and not take notes? 81 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 5: If it's a really big movie like a Spider Man 82 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 5: or Avengers, those are so big where I'm not. 83 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: Gonna forget any little details. 84 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 5: So for those movies, I'll maybe take two to three notes, 85 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 5: and it's something like very specific that I see that 86 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't think everybody else is going to 87 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: pick up on that. I need to make a note 88 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: of that so I. 89 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: Can talk about it. 90 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: But those movies I could go into and just freeball 91 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 5: it and not do anything and just just experience it 92 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: as a fan.

But I used to love going 221 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 5: to CC's and I would just crush, like just plates 222 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 5: of pizza. I would say that's the one thing I 223 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 5: missed the most because I've had like vegan pizza, which 224 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 5: I don't really feel is like real pizza. 225 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't really taste the same.

Mike 234 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: D's gone a lot longer, so this makes a lot 235 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 3: more sense. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. 236 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: We'll be back. 237 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 3: Why do you not ever post any pictures of your 238 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: old self? 239 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: We'd love to see the progress. This is from Jalen. 240 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 5: That is an interesting question because I feel like I 241 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 5: used to do that a lot, maybe like when I 242 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 5: was five years or so away from when I lost 243 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 5: all my weight and where I felt like I was 244 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 5: documenting that a little bit more and I kind of 245 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 5: thought about it recently of even seeing like, even though 246 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 5: it's been pretty recent of like me getting my braces off, 247 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 5: it's weird to see me now with braces looking back 248 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 5: on that. So I think, really is that I don't 249 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 5: really recognize myself when I go back and look at 250 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 5: some of those pictures, not that I do it because 251 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 5: I'm a shamed there's also like I would say, maybe 252 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 5: three years of my life that aren't documented because I 253 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 5: didn't like taking pictures at all, Like I would take 254 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 5: pictures of people, like of my family, but I would 255 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 5: never want to be in the picture. So I would 256 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 5: say maybe from like twenty eleven to like twenty thirteen, 257 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 5: there aren't even that many pictures of me just because 258 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 5: I hated it. 259 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. 260 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 5: I don't think I've made it a conscious thing to 261 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 5: like not post old pictures. But I think I haven't 262 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 5: really done like here's me ten years ago, here's me now, 263 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 5: Here's like how I did it, Like I just kind 264 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: of been a little bit more removed from that that 265 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: I kind of forgot that that was like a big 266 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: part of me for a while. 267 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: I know you did a video at one point where 268 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: you were like, here, this is my journey, and yeah, 269 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: this is what I did. 270 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: It's been a while since it, but I don't think. 271 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 3: You've ever not intentionally enough, and you've posted up I've 272 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: seen them. I just don't think you like scream it 273 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: all the time, post it all the time. 274 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just like, I know that that is me 275 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 5: and those pictures, but it also doesn't feel like me 276 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 5: at this point. So even now, I think I'm going 277 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 5: to look back on pictures from like a couple of 278 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 5: years ago and be like, man, I look weird with racist. 279 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: Just judging yourself left and right, Mike, you the all 280 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: of those. 281 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: Are parts of your story. 282 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: Though I hope you know that and that's they're not 283 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: bad parts of your story. 284 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: You just see them as bad now. 285 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, because I think some people who maybe maybe they're 286 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 5: just stumbled upon me, probably don't even know that version 287 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 5: of me. And I think that's that's the only reason 288 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 5: I would do it, is because I think somebody could 289 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 5: stumble upon me like posting my long runs and think 290 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 5: like this is just some ushback who runs a lot 291 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 5: and post all of his workouts. But to know like 292 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 5: where I came from, where like ten years ago, I 293 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 5: couldn't even walk a mile a little and run a mile, 294 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 5: So I think that would be the only reason I 295 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 5: would bring attention to that. Is it to be like, 296 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 5: I am not doing this because I'm like boasting about it. 297 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 5: I'm doing it because of like my journey to get 298 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 5: to that point, to be able to. 299 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: Do that, to where that is. 300 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: I guess I would say normal to me, But it 301 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 5: shouldn't be normal to me. 302 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: I think you should start posting about it more just 303 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 3: for the sake of you deserve to tell that side 304 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: of your story, but also I think that's stuff that 305 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: people want to see and hear. People want people being 306 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: real and authentic, and I think that's a very real 307 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 3: part of your story. 308 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 5: I wish I had more videos of like me throughout 309 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 5: that journey that I could go back and look at. 310 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 5: But like I took like one picture before I started 311 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 5: losing my weight, which is the only one I could 312 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 5: usually post where it's like me with like no shirt 313 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 5: in front of a selfie. I don't I don't know 314 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 5: if I had an iPhone then I might've had a BlackBerry, 315 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 5: But that was like the only picture I took that was. 316 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Just for me. 317 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 5: I wasn't even I was never going to post that. 318 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 5: That was just for me to reference for myself. And 319 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 5: I think that first year I took a bunch of 320 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 5: progress pictures, but I wish I. 321 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Had like like videos. 322 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: Yea, I could kind of see it all and like 323 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 5: post a picture, post a video now with all that footage. 324 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah that's true, but you could also still like you 325 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: still get the point across by doing your running videos 326 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 3: or anything and. 327 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 4: Like have your picture. There's ways we can talk about it. 328 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: Part of me is thought of like, man, could I 329 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: go back and do that again? I don't. I don't 330 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: think I could. 331 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: I think the reason I don't want to say it 332 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 5: was easy for me, But the reason it was easier 333 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 5: for me is because I was in my twenties and 334 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: I think I still had like my metabolism on my 335 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 5: side then. Because I think of people who want to 336 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: do that now and like, like at my age or 337 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 5: thirties or even forties and fifties. 338 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: It's hard to do. 339 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 5: You don't have as much energy, it doesn't fall off 340 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 5: the same way. Your body is a whole lot different. 341 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: That's also when I was sharing my journey, I wish 342 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 5: I would have been more like I also did this 343 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 5: at twenty five, Like it's going to be different for everybody, 344 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 5: whether where you are at in your life, just because 345 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 5: body changes. I'm like, I don't know that I would 346 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 5: have as much success if I did it now then 347 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 5: versus what I did it ten years ago. 348 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: See, but I think about talking about all those things 349 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: are important, and I think people want to hear that 350 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: and see you share those things. So I do think 351 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: you should if you feel comfortable in doing so, but 352 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: only if you do, because if you don't feel comfortable, 353 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: then the point is not going to be coming across 354 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: the same. 355 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: All right. 356 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: Have you ever been injured from running? How do you 357 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: mentally recover? Jordan in Wichitah. 358 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: I've I always take a tumble at least once a year. 359 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: And about a month ago I took a spill where I. 360 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: I was running and then I was paying attention to 361 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 5: my surroundings where I saw this car about a turn. 362 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I gotta make sure 363 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: I either. 364 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 5: Turned before I get to them, so I don't like 365 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: do that awkward like oh I'm going to go, You're 366 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 5: gonna let me go type thing. And in between of 367 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 5: all that going on in my head, my foot got 368 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 5: like stuck in like a like a chunk in the 369 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 5: road where I didn't see it, and like my foot 370 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 5: immediately stopped and my body kept going. But I'm also 371 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 5: so aware of it now at this point that I'm 372 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 5: a really good faller, Like I know how to fall 373 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 5: where I'm not going to injure myself. Like a lot 374 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 5: of people make the mistake of like trying to catch yourself, 375 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: and that's where you're going to like break something because 376 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 5: you're trying to catch yourself, You're gonna break like your 377 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 5: wrists or something. So I'm really good at doing like 378 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: the maybe it's like a gymnastics move or something where 379 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 5: you kind of take the tumble and you kind of 380 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 5: roll in, you kind of roll into it. So the 381 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 5: only thing that got hurt from that, which I still 382 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 5: kind of have it is like I kind of like 383 00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 5: caught my hand. 384 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: Just a little little bit. 385 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 5: I had like a scratch on my leg and then 386 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 5: my ankle didn't really I didn't really hurt it, but 387 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 5: it kind of just felt like that initial like I 388 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 5: feel like I just got punched there, so it didn't 389 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 5: really affect me that much, and once like my hand 390 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 5: kind of healed, like that was it. So I've been 391 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 5: really good about prepping my body before I run to 392 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 5: make sure I don't get injured, because I think that's 393 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 5: where a lot of people do, is if you don't 394 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 5: stretch and you're not prepared for it, you just hop 395 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 5: right into it, which I could do back when I 396 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 5: was first starting out, Like I never stretched. Once I 397 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 5: hit thirty, I'm like, I gotta start stretching. So I 398 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 5: think stretching, I think it's whether you're running, whether you're 399 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 5: in the gym, lifting or just walking or doing whatever. 400 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 5: I think stretching is really important because it's forming your 401 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 5: body up to reduce injury. So I've never been like 402 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 5: fully sidelined from running because I've I would feel fine 403 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 5: in saying that you're always kind of banged up, like 404 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 5: there's always something from running. That's why I don't even 405 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 5: encourage it to people. You're always gonna be kind of 406 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 5: banged up because it is a physical thing that it 407 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 5: does take a toll on your body. Like luckily, like 408 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 5: all my joints and stuff were good, and like my 409 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 5: knees don't hurt, which is what a lot of people 410 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 5: try to discourage me from running. As much as I 411 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 5: do they're like, your knees are gonna hurt, You're good. 412 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 5: Like I was feeling that way when I wasn't doing 413 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 5: any physical activity. So it's like I don't know what 414 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: to do here. I don't work out and my entire 415 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 5: body shuts down. I work out, and like, you also 416 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 5: have these injuries, So I'd rather do with the one 417 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 5: where I'm actually getting movement. But it is a physical 418 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 5: thing that it's gonna take a toll on you, and 419 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 5: there's always gonna be like your toe kind of hurts, 420 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 5: your ankle feels a little weird. 421 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: But it's kind of. 422 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 5: Like being hurt versus being injured where you're always gonna 423 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 5: hurt a little bit. 424 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: But if if you're. 425 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 5: Really injured where you're running and you're like, what I 426 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 5: do is the hop test before you run? If you 427 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 5: can like like a kind of like a high knee, 428 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 5: if anything hurts when you highknee, you should not run. 429 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 4: Okay, that's a good test. 430 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: That's the test. 431 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 5: I learned that on TikTok of like if you if 432 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 5: you hop kind of like you're just doing high knees 433 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 5: before you run and something hurts, probably shouldn't run. If 434 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 5: you can do that, and you feel fine, You're good 435 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 5: to go. 436 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: What if I feel that every day. Giving some perspective, 437 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: you're talking about Holleen, you always feel a little hurt. 438 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just me. Every day. 439 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: I don't even run, So in perspective, my D is 440 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: right that you should just be active in general because 441 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 3: you're you're gonna be hurting about on. 442 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 5: Because it's not like I'm not at a point where 443 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: like my body is in pain at all times, but 444 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 5: it's just something where you're just kind of have wear 445 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 5: and tear. Much like you drive your car every day, 446 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: it's gonna have some wear and tear just from you're 447 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 5: gonna need an oil change. You're always gonna have something 448 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 5: that can probably have some attending to, which I feel 449 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 5: is also just a little bit with getting older. But 450 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 5: it's like anytime you do something physically, you're gonna just 451 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 5: wear yourself out. Same thing like an athlete where they 452 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 5: might not get hurt every game that's going to keep 453 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 5: them from playing, but they're gonna get banged up. So 454 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 5: it's all about doing things to maintain yourself as much 455 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 5: as you can, like doing an EPs and salt bath, 456 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 5: doing some icy on, just doing things to kind of 457 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 5: help your body, which I would love to get a massage, 458 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 5: but I cannot do it. 459 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: You can't do massage. 460 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: I can't physically put myself through them because it feels 461 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 5: so I can't stop laughing. 462 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 4: Seriously, they are the best.

So for 539 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 5: each one of those, they say between three hundred to 540 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: five hundred miles, So for me, that's about if I 541 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 5: ran just in one pair, they would last me three months, 542 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 5: which is like a good amount of run issues they 543 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 5: run through.
