I will get back to it, though, 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: But I'm officially been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. So now 94 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: I have to check my blood sugar all the damn time. 95 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: Classic me, though, I make it like I'm getting a 96 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: grade and I want to like be the best into class, 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: and I want to get my blood sugar down the most, 98 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: and you know, fortunately, but I can follow I can 99 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: follow rules, and I want all the credit. And I 100 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: lost my monitor this weekend and I was so oh 101 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 2: I wasn't getting credit for the bloodshirt.

I stopped eating after seven anyway, 105 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: So that's I'm getting under control, which is fine. 106 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Why does that happen? Like just station, there's no. 107 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: Rhyme or reason to it. Like I've got friends that 108 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: are one hundred pounds and they've had gestational diabetes. I've 109 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: had friends who are black, Asian white. It's just it's 110 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: just so random. I didn't have this with Rio at all. 111 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask me. But the way that my 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: doctor described it is like we're both sharing a pancreas, 113 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: and you know, sometimes the pancreas is just not giving 114 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: what it needs to give for two little bodies to process. 115 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm close. I'm glad you explained it in a gen 116 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: Z way. It's not the pancreas is not giving, honey. 117 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: It's just not giving. It's just really not a vibe 118 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: at all. It's a little susy. It's a little sus 119 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: so hold on and prick myself well the charger. Ah, dude, 120 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: I'm a pro now. But yes, I went to get 121 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: a fresh kit this morning. And let me tell you, 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: it's not cheap to be a diabetic like this stuff. 123 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: This was thirty bucks for a new kit which doesn't 124 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: even have like a long supply of strips and stuff. 125 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: So you know, I'll do my little peace on the 126 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: healthcare system later, but I just want to get through this. 127 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: I want to have a healthy pregnancy and you know, 128 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: move on with life.

Typically 169 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: they're making like six figures living off of like nothing, 170 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: investing the rest, and then you know, getting to it 171 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: was usually about like two or three million dollars in 172 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: that kind of mark and then being able to retire 173 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: in their thirties. That it was this huge movement. The 174 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: average person doing it, of course, was white dude with 175 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: access to make six figures and to be able to 176 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: do that. But so it gained a lot of traction. 177 00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: But one of the pioneers, his name is Oh would 178 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Oh Sam Doggin Right, So he was able to retire 179 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: early with three million dollars. He was thirty four, he 180 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: was married at the time, and now he's saying that 181 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: he's returning to work. Sam is now forty five, so 182 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: ten years later, and it's because he said that, honestly, 183 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: I got kids. Now I'm loving. I'm loving because he said, yeah, 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: so I think if I'm reading correctly, that he has 185 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: two kids. See the thing is when they first retired, 186 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: he and his wife, they weren't sure if they're going 187 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: to have kids, you know, which we you know, that's understandable. 188 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 1: He's like, now we have to and we're living in 189 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: San Francisco. He's like yeah, and so you know, he said, basically, 190 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 1: what was the three million dollars. He was able to 191 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: grow his passive income give or take to about two 192 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, which sounds like a lot 193 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: of money between the two of them. It's like both 194 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: of them having one hundred thousand dollar job, but not 195 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: with too trunk. 196 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: Because they got a hear it is not giving yes. 197 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: Not on the post. And so what I love is like, well, one, 198 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm loving the fact that, like, because I'm not anti 199 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: fire movement at all, you know, I'm all forul you 200 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: know me, I'm a frug go liver. But I just 201 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: didn't like that it seemed like, well, all you got 202 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: to do is if you had a little discipline, you 203 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: could retire. And it didn't take into account that people 204 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: might have kids. It didn't take it. 205 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: So drastic to like live off of nothing and not 206 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: enjoy right. 207 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also too, it didn't take an account that, 208 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: like it might not be accessible to you if you're 209 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: a person of color, a woman, someone who's disabled, you know. 210 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: And so for I mean, from his picture he looks 211 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: like he may be Asian. I don't want to like speculate, 212 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: but but yeah, so you know, I'm just so happy 213 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: that it's like, yeah, the math was not mathing. It 214 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't mean he didn't do well. It doesn't mean that, 215 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, like that two hundred thousand that he's making 216 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: passively is not going to supplement obviously beautifully supplement whatever 217 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: income he brings in. But I just think like, it's 218 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: almost like Marie con Did you hear about Marie Kondo? 219 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: I rejoiced when she came out saying like, I don't 220 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: even pay attention anymore. I got kids. There's no rules anymore. Good. Yeah, 221 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: I leave your book unread on my kindle, so if 222 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: you're not reading. 223 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: Be a family. She's got this. It's like tidying up 224 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: or something like with Marie Kondo on. 225 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: The life changing Magic of Tidying Up. And then she 226 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: had a Netflix series, Yes, where she'd go into families 227 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: who have kids, girls and make over their homes. 228 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: I said, this is Anne. Do I love it? Do 229 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: I keep it? Whatever she was doing and pushed out 230 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: the babies and Mauricas say what now? 231 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, kids would really just be like kids will will 233 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: bring the truth to light, you know, like people. You know, yeah, 234 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: people don't want to hear nothing until you're like, oh, 235 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: you don't have to kids in there. Mine. It's such 236 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: a disaster. 237 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is, you know, I really have 238 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: to go to the sunken place when it comes to 239 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: I've never I'm not gonna lie. I've never been miss tidy. 240 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: My mom was like super crazy about cleaning up, and 241 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: I think I had the opposite reaction of like just 242 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: go with the flow. But I feel bad for moms 243 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: who still maintain that like level of it needs to 244 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: be clean every night before I go to bed, because 245 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: I sleep really good with the full sink of dishes, 246 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 2: and you know what, it's between sleep and staying up 247 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: and scrubbing, Like, I'm just not going to choose that 248 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: journey for myself. I had to give that up. So 249 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: we have a clean house like once a week, and 250 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: then within hours it's destroyed. And you know, we just 251 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: make a lot of activities to leave the house so 252 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: we don't have to look at it. That's our coping mechanism, 253 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: and I will organize and it'll get beautiful. But I've 254 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: kind of made peace with the fact that that life 255 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: is not for me right at this moment, not in 256 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: this season. I got our please one of the puzzles 257 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: and legos and literally four. 258 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm one of five kids, and so my parents what 259 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: they decided early on after like I don't know, maybe 260 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: I was like maybe five or six when my dad 261 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: bought like our first house. He just decided every house 262 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: we have will have a basement that belongs to the kids, 263 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: and so that's what it was. It was like, y'all 264 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: are not allowed up here unless you're taking a bath 265 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: or getting in a bed. So literally, we always had 266 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: a full basement where we were allowed to destroy, which 267 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: we did. I mean, I'm talking about we were right 268 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: on the walls. I'm talking about melted crams. 269 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: He I mean we were. 270 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: We were destructive. But the basement was the kid's space 271 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: when you and your little raggedy friends come over, this 272 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: is where you can have your toys. Of course we 273 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: had to clean up and things like that, but it 274 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: wasn't the company space. So upstairs was always kept nice, 275 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: and it was like my dad would literally we were 276 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: come upstairs, He's like, I'm sorry, little trolls, I just 277 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: want to juice. 278 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: Take your juice and your stacked in the engine. He 279 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: would just give you a mini fridge down there. 280 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: No, the second house of be I definitely had a 281 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: fridge and all the other stuff. And so that's, you know, 282 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: that's how they handle that. They were just like, you 283 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: know what, we have to relinquish front of the house 284 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: of the kids. This is your basement. Do what you will. 285 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: I'm as bad as rio. I like to play. I 286 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: like to do puzzles with him. I like to make 287 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: a mess. It's really husby. He has to suffer. I 288 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: don't want him to go to a room by himself. 289 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: I want to be in the mix. 290 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: You know. Like that's because you have one. Imagine five. 291 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: My dad was like, I'm sorry, I know, well, if 292 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: you have five, you can entertain each other exactly.
