1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Saturday, September six. It is 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: time for us to take a recovery run. And I 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: never thought that helping myself recover would include going to 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: the Abba Museum in Stockton, Sweden, and with that Stockholm, Stockton, Stockton, California. Right, Yes, 5 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: very different places. Welcome to this geography edition of Aby 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: at DJ. Yes, we were at Stockholm. I should say. 7 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: This is what we do to relax. We go run 8 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: half marathons. That was awesome. 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny. I was looking at you at 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: one point and look, we were so excited to be 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: in another country and have a change of scenery. But 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: we actually worked every single day and then our one 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: day off where we didn't have to do any recording 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: because we did some ahead of time, we ran a 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: half marathon. 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 3: It was our day off. 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: That was our day off. And you know what that 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: is something in a way your recovery, because you're getting 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: physically active. Our brains were spent at that point. So 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: I actually really appreciated the run. It was almost a 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: release of pent up energy, I would say. But I 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: was very excited because once we got the half marathon 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: under our belts and we crossed the finish line. I 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: knew exactly what I wanted to do, to celebrate, to 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 2: unwind and to have a little fun. And I was very, 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: very appreciative of the fact that you were willing to 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: come along for the ride. 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: Uh is that what we say? Appreciative of the fact 29 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: that I was willing? Is there? You said? 30 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, yes, because it was so the Abba Museum? 31 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: Is it Abba or Abba? It might be an age 32 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: old discussion. I have always said Abba, but I have 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 2: been told I am saying incorrectly it's Abba. 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: Is it American versus Swedish? 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: Is it? 36 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: Maybe? 37 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: But however you say it. The band has been with 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: me from my very very beginning. Some of my earliest 39 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: childhood memories are sitting in front of my dad's stereo 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: and singing along to Abba music. 41 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 3: And I just learned on this trip that Abba is 42 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: made up of two men and two women in a 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: band from Sweden. I didn't know that I heard of them, 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: and I Mama Mia, right, Yeah. 45 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: Well that's yes. That is a Broadway musical slash movie 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: that is basically compiled compiling all or many of ABBA's 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: greatest hits. 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: Waiting. There's not a song called Mama Mia. 49 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: Well there is a song called and it was them, right, yes, okay, okay, 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: Mama Mia. 51 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: Yes that thing, yes, the other one. Now, I didn't 52 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: know this was theirs Dancing Queen. 53 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: You didn't know Dancing Queen was I did not. 54 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: Know that at all. But I like that song. Some 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: of their stuff was a little quirkier. That one seemed 56 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: more in the lane of disco. Something that's the Winner 57 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: Takes it All? You know, No, it's. 58 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: Has to fall. 59 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: No, you don't know Broadway. 60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: No, it's their song, but Winner Takes it All. 61 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: Oh, I never heard that. 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: I love that song. They have so many good ones 63 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: this Fernando. 64 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: Uh no, give me another one. I would know. 65 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: I think as far as what you would know. 66 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: Well, that's really it's old mainstream that everybody would know 67 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: this Abba song. 68 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: What would it be trying to see what? 69 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: Because it's one of those things that when I hear something, 70 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: I say, oh, I recognize that song, But then I 71 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: have no idea who's singing the thing? 72 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: All right? What about so os? 73 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: You know what? 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 75 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 3: No, no, what is the. 76 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: Most listened to? Abasan? Okay, Dancing Queen and Fernando don't 77 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: know they had a dozen top forty hits and scored. Yeah, 78 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: so this is twenty five top forty hits in the 79 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: nineteen of the top ten.

That's just dancing Queen and Mama Mia. 101 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Do you know what I actually learned in the Appa 102 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: Museum that I didn't know so, and I think maybe 103 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: I had heard something about it, but I didn't really 104 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: know that. Two of the men in the ABBA group, 105 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: we learned their names Lars and Benny. 106 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: Bennie and something, Benny and Bjorn. 107 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: I just picked another random sweet he was he was 108 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: the fifth member that is just not mentioned very often, joking, Okay, 109 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: it was Benny and Bijorn. They went on. They did 110 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: obviously some Broadway musicals with Mama Mia, but they went 111 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: on to contribute to writing Chess, which is one of 112 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: these deep cuts for a lot of folks who maybe 113 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: aren't huge Broadway fans. But oh my goodness, when I 114 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: was in high school and college, I listened to that 115 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: at nauseum. It is some of my favorite Broadway music. 116 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: And to know that, of course one of my favorite 117 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: rock bands, disco bands, whatever you want to call them, 118 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: contributed to that musical. I would say disco rock pop. 119 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: It kind of fits all of that. 120 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 3: They're so wildly Swedish, which I certainly understand better now 121 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: by spending some time in stock Home for the week 122 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 3: plus that we did. But going to the museum, no 123 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: surprise here didn't see another black person for two hours. Now, 124 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, Sweden is not the most diverse 125 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: place when it comes to uh seen black folks all around. 126 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 3: But I'm in a very white place, and you took 127 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: me to the whitest place within that white place. It 128 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: was love. 129 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Do you have fun? 130 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: I had? All the people watching was unbelievable. I had 131 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: a blast walking through there. 132 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: There was a line that it was raining, stretched all 133 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: the way out from underneath the protection from the rain 134 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: all the way and you were just amazed that people 135 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: were standing in these lines waiting to get into the 136 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: Abba Museum. So that was amazing. And then the other 137 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: fun recovery that we were able to pull off while 138 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: we were in Stockholm was going to a place. I 139 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: could never say it in Swedish, but it translates to 140 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: the Feather Islands and it was just this cool little 141 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: island that you take a ferry to. And you were 142 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: cracking me up because you love Sweden, but you weren't 143 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: a fan of the weather, and I get that. It's 144 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: it was basically like we were cheering if the sun 145 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: peeked out for a little while, but mostly it was 146 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: in this it was like I think the high way 147 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: sixty eight, but it was like feels like sixty one. 148 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was that kind of situation. 149 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: And then it never really got that cold at night, 150 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: but it was just always kind of gray, overcast, a 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: little bit of spotty rain, and just it was romantic 152 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: and dramatic. 153 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: We never had a jeans or shorts and T shirt day. 154 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: We never even had really a shorts and long sleeve 155 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: T shirt day, and most of the days were sweater 156 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: plus jacket days there. And I said to you, Stockholm, 157 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 3: I absolutely loved it. Stockholm is my favorite city I 158 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: have ever been to that I never want to go 159 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: to again. 160 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: Because you don't like cold weather, the. 161 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: Weather I can't.

I will say that 165 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: I don't mind colder weather, and I don't mind that's 166 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: fall like weather.

We're sitting here telling people how we recover, 178 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: and it sounds exhausting, that is true, but. 179 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: It was amazing. And I was laughing at your reaction 180 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: to this specific island because how cute was it. Can 181 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: you describe how cute and amazing? And there was so 182 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: much outside seating, It was sweeping views, gorgeous architecture, quaint 183 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: as hell, cute restaurants. 184 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: It seemed like a place that Santa Claus with vacation, 185 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 3: like it would be his summer place. 186 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: That's actually a really good way to no. 187 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 3: Way way to put it, because it was a little cool, 188 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 3: but it was sixty eight. You know it's sixty You 189 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 3: know Santa doesn't want it too warm, but this was 190 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: a little warmer than he's used to kind of a place, 191 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: and it was chill, and you could nobody's gonna know 192 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: your name, and you can have all kinds of privacy, 193 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: but they had laid out some of the best, like 194 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: lakeside or excuse me, this was the Baltic seat. When 195 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: are we talking about? This was like waterside dining, and 196 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: the views were unbelievable. It was wonderful, glooming in sixty two. 197 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: This is what it was. I think, I said, I said, wow, 198 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: we should have gotten married here. It was that kind 199 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: of special place that I saw. And the food was unbelievable. 200 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: That food was amazing. 201 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: I still remember that waitress. It was wonderful. Everything was great. 202 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 4: You said, what a waste, because you said you looked 203 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 4: around because there was like the most amazing seats that 204 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: were positioned everywhere, and they were all empty because. 205 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: It was too cold to sit outside, and so you 206 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: just looked around and you said, what a waste. This 207 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: is so gorgeous. Why can't it just be warmer? You said, 208 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: if it was warmer, you would come back once a year. 209 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, gets close enough. Nine hours. I mean you can 210 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: handle it. If you go for a week, I would. 211 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 3: I would love to go back. I told you. It 212 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: reminded me of Frankly, the Hamptons. It reminded me of 213 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 3: montak where you can still it's chill, and it's got 214 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 3: enough going on, but it still has a chill, almost 215 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 3: a surfer town vibe. And this is a major metropolitan 216 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: city that just had a chillness to it. I love 217 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: it and I will never go back. 218 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: Something else that's funny. Something else that wasn't lost on 219 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: us that I do think helped us recover while we 220 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: were working and while we were running, is that everyone 221 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: is so damn polite. There were no I did not 222 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: hear one honking of a horn in a major city. 223 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: I did not hear any noise. They're quiet, they're not loud. 224 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: I mean, if you there were not that many Americans there, 225 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: but when there were Americans there, you could hear them 226 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: a mile away. Because the Swedes are so quiet, so respectful, 227 00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: so polite. 228 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 3: And orderly and just rule followers, and there is regiment here. 229 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 3: And I was love now that part. I'm telling you. 230 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: I love this place. Yeah. 231 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: And the architecture is stunning. There was not one piece 232 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 2: of trash anywhere. Did you see litter anywhere? Did you 233 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: see graffiti anywhere? That was remarkable to me. And maybe 234 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: it's just because we live in New York and we're 235 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: so aware of graffiti and trash and honking horns and 236 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: sirens and loud, obnoxious people and rude people. Everyone was 237 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: basically the opposite of New York. 238 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 3: And you know what, you all we talk here about 239 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: New York congestion traffic. You know how compact Manhattan is. 240 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: They most of their traffic is people on bicycles. They 241 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: have a bike culture there that's comparable to Rome's scooter culture, 242 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: if you will. Most of the people are on bikes. 243 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 3: And to see them in these fairly wide bike lanes coming, 244 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 3: I mean we're not talking random few people. They are 245 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 3: bunched in like track like cars, and they are orderly, 246 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 3: they are polite, there are no issues. 247 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: Places great and there is one woman had three kids 248 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: with her on a bike. It was impressive as hell. 249 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: It looked like the Tour de France to me because they. 250 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 3: Were all bunched up so. 251 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: And I just thought, how is no one getting in 252 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: an accident? How is no one yelling at someone someone 253 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: cut them off? Even the bike. No one was ringing 254 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 2: their bike belts. It was I was we actually, I 255 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: think our jaws were dropped watching the process happen every 256 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: rush hour. 257 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: I love love Stockholm and it's a weird thing to 258 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: say I love a place so much and don't want 259 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: to go back because of that thing. Please, I'm not 260 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: knocking you all of Stockholm. Then they could do about 261 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: your weather. It's just I am a different blooded person. 262 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: So the other thing we did to recover and I 263 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: love this is one of my favorite things that we 264 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: share a passion for shopping. And you got another leather coats. 265 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: I gotta stop because has a stop. 266 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: So did I. By the way, full admission, I didn't 267 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: need one either. But there's a big thrifting community there 268 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: and all of these stores are secondhand stores. We walked 269 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: in and you know sometimes when you go my kids 270 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: love to thrift, there is a smell that just lingers 271 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: in some of these stores and it's a little bit 272 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 2: of a turn off for me. You walked in these 273 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: places smelled amazing, They were curated perfectly. They even had 274 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: the colors all in like rainbow where it just you 275 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: wanted to go in and see what you could find. 276 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: I've never had more luck, or at least more excitement 277 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: going into a secondhand store, but they have. They're lined 278 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: with that. 279 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: Here's the thing, and I didn't think about this till 280 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: right now you walk into the store and don't realize 281 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: it for five minutes that you're in a secondhand store. 282 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: They're that nice. 283 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive. 284 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: If they are so nice. But yeah, every time we 285 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: go somewhere to Europe, and yeah we were in Italy 286 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 3: last time, we hit Florence. But God's sake, so leather jackets, 287 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: leather everywhere. I obviously ride a motorcycle a lot of 288 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: people know, so I have a certainly collection of motorcycle jackets. 289 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: I do not need another leather jacket. I have every 290 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 3: variety you can think of. And sure enough we get there, 291 00:13:59,160 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: how many two? 292 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: One you bought two? You bought two more leather jackets. 293 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: And actually the prices were amazing because they were secondhands, 294 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: so you weren't spending tons of money. Yeah. 295 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: No, the brown one, though. 296 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: Was it a little bit more, a little bit more. 297 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: But the one that you got second hand was one 298 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty dollars. Yeah, and it was gorgeous, fantastic. 299 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna let y'all see it, y'all gonna. 300 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: You even said to me, please talk me out of 301 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: this robes, and I said I can't. I'm sorry, I'm 302 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: not your girl. When it comes to that, I can't 303 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: talk you out of it. 304 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: I'm begging anybody please. I don't need it. I don't 305 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: need but it's uh. That is always fun. And that 306 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: was another good part in the part I Love of Stockholm. 307 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: Never go back, never going back? 308 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: All right, So when we come back, we'll tell you 309 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: how we recovered after our nine hour flight and I 310 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: think twenty two hours, twenty three hours straight of not sleeping, 311 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: and how we found a way to recover for the 312 00:14:49,040 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: rest of our week. Welcome back to this edition of Well. 313 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: I guess it's a Saturday morning run. It's our recovery run. 314 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: But we talk about what we did to relax, to enjoy, 315 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: to be intentional about doing something other than work, which 316 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: is actually a huge It's a tough thing for us 317 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: to schedule in and I think that's for a lot 318 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: of folks. It's hard sometimes to make a priority of fun. 319 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: And we've been really trying to do that even while 320 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: we're working, even when we're in different locations, to say, hey, 321 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: enough work, let's go do something where we can actually 322 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: enjoy ourselves and relax. I think that's important in life. 323 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: It's harder for us now I say it's harder because 324 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: it's easier. I say it's easier that we have the equipment, 325 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: we can travel anywhere, we can podcast from anywhere in 326 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: the world. That's awesome, but it also means we can 327 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: podcast from anywhere in the world, so no matter where 328 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: we are, we have no. 329 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: Excuse, right, and so we end up working. But this 330 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: is why it's so important to find that time to 331 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: wind down. And so yes, if you've been listening to 332 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: our podcast this week, you'll know by now that one 333 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: of the first things we did on a day where 334 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: we had really bad sleep scores because of the travel back, 335 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: we decided to extend our day, stay up even later 336 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: and go relax and watch a horror movie. And not 337 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: just any horror movie. We went to go see The Conjuring, 338 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: the Final Installment, The Conjuring, the Last Rite. 339 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: I cannot believe we went and did this. We were exhausted, 340 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: We were actually really really exhausted, and we debated, I 341 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: think all we didn't decide what till four o'clock to 342 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 3: go to a six thirty movie, and we talked about 343 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: it all day and we finally I think it was me. 344 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: I'm tired of talking about it, book the ticket. 345 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: You absolutely made the call because I was leaning towards 346 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: maybe doing it on another day, and you said, we've 347 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: been excited about this movie for months now, this is 348 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: its opening preview night, and we said we were going 349 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: to go. Let's go, so we did. 350 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: You know, what, how do you handle that? Because we 351 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: deal with this and a lot of people do. Where 352 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 3: do you what's the balance doing sacrificing because you said 353 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 3: so many times we have to prioritize sleep, write that 354 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 3: we have this debate in this fight all the time, 355 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 3: if you will, like, Okay, sleep is important, but man, 356 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: this thing over here is what we really want to do. 357 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 3: How do you always how do we end up finding 358 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 3: that balance? And which way do we end up going? 359 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: Because I know you are always on board with opportunity, 360 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: this and experience. Let's go. 361 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: Yes, So it's that whole notion. I'll sleep when I'm dead. 362 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: But I also know how important I feel like, especially 363 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: as I get older, for me to have a better 364 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: active life, for me to feel better while I'm doing 365 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: fun things, I really need to prioritize sleep. And now 366 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: I think it's the thing, especially Americans, where we almost 367 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 2: take pride in our few hours of sleep. See how 368 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 2: busy I was, See how active I was, See how 369 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: productive I was. But I don't want to be that 370 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: person because I used to be that person. Hell, I 371 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: used to brag that I didn't take my vacation days. 372 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: This feels pretty stupid now. 373 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: That is the dumbest thing I ever did in my life. 374 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 2: And when anyone asked me for advice when they're starting out, 375 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 2: I always say, take all your vacation days. Although hilariously enough, 376 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: I don't feel like this new generation needs that advice. 377 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 2: They're really good on that. But is that me just 378 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 2: sounding like an old bitter person. 379 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: No, we've heard those stories, and look there's a let's 380 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: not get into that we did that episode later because 381 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 3: we could go off on a tangent on that. I'm 382 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: glad we made the call we did. We were afraid 383 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: we were going to fall asleep in the movie theater, 384 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 3: and sure enough it turned out to be a wonderful 385 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 3: experience the whole night. I don't know that was a 386 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: really I'm so glad we did that last night. That 387 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: was a highlight. I am glad we made that call. 388 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 2: I am very happy we did it too. And I 389 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: have to tell you night. Yeah, Thursday night, it had it. 390 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: Actually I had a hard time. I had to wind 391 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: down to try and go to sleep even though I 392 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: was tired, because I was so hyped up on seeing 393 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: that movie. That's how good it was. But the other thing, 394 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 2: so this is Saturday morning, and it is nice to 395 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: have a plan on the weekend to do something fun, 396 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 2: to do something you love, to relax and we are 397 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: in the season college football, so that is going to 398 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: be our relaxing.

And then I started 406 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: talking to you about like, oh, wow, we actually did 407 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: and then I end up, Okay, maybe we're not doing 408 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 3: so bad.
