WEBVTT - Recovery Run: Watching Seagulls Is Our New Netflix 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:04.920 Hey the folks, it is Saturday, July twelfth, and welcome 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:09.760 to your recovery run, because Lord knows we all could 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.480 use a recovery. Welcome as folks to this episode, Amy 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:15.680 and TJ here and Robes. I'm glad we started doing 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.639 this because it is nice to take a break. But 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.520 we talk about a recovery run. We are runners and 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.159 it means something in the running world to have a 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:24.520 recovery run. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.040 Yes, this is something every runner, especially a long distance 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.480 runner does, at least we try to do. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:30.960 It once a week. 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.800 It's a short, low intensity run and it's supposed to 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.520 help your body recover after all the hard workouts from 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.360 the week. It's meant to be easy and relaxed. It 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:41.920 shouldn't over exert the body. 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.600 I actually love this. It's supposed to go. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.000 Around twenty to thirty minutes, which is exactly what our 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.480 podcast definitely is. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.200 This is the recovery we need. A break is here 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.280 on the mics from what is a long, difficult, sometimes 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.920 intense week. And Robes one of the one of the 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.720 things that did lift some weight and that helped recovery 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.280 was just getting past the Didy trial. Look, yes, it 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.560 was a lot of work for as time wise, hours wise, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.000 stayed up late and getting up really early, but just 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:17.559 to not be constantly in that content, folks could avoid 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.839 it and have to read articles, didn't have to watch TV. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.360 We were reading so much in transcripts of that thing 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.160 that it's nice to not be reading that stuff in here. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.360 Yeah, the material was very heavy and dark and complicated, 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.360 and you. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.080 Felt torn in a lot of ways. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.440 So it was emotionally taxing as well. And yeah, we 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.679 were constantly looking for the updates and what's happening next. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.320 So with that now in the rear view mirror, that 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:50.400 does create a huge sense of relaxation and relief in 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:51.080 that stuff. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.160 I don't I think sometimes I think what businesses they 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.720 talk about? I think it's was it? Firefighters? Is it? 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.800 There are certain professions, journalists among them, where people have 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.560 high rates of divorce, high rates of alcoholism, and all 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.000 these look we see and we do. We don't think 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.080 about it that much. I think, I don't think we're 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.200 desensitized to it. We don't think about it anymore. But 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.400 when you're constantly consuming, consuming negative, negative, negative, you can 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.720 go back to I mean January, we're still talking about 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.040 the fires in La. Just think about that every day. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.160 Every day, every day we're seeing death and destruction. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.920 The Texas flooding has been really hard. I have actually 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.200 tried to because I know, look, if we had still 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.640 been working at ABC, we know where we'd be. We'd 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.639 be in Texas and telling those stories and seeing all 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.240 of those children's faces and being parents and knowing that 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.400 we've sent our kids to summer camps for three weeks 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.959 at a time where they haven't had access to their phones. 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.080 You start thinking about all the what IFFs and what 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.519 could have been and you put yourself in those parents' positions, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.200 and it's extremely heavy. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:55.600 There can be good that comes out of it. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.920 I know, having covered a lot of this, I would 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.200 go home and be more appreciative of my kids and 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:01.880 hug them more and tell them I love them. And 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.680 I now never leave the house or leave a phone 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.960 conversation or get on a plane without saying I love 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.600 you because of all the things we cover. But yeah, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.040 it is heavy, that's hard. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.000 And again we do recovery runs because we come on 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.040 we want to. We talk about the things that that 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.079 we do like we're conscious of doing, to help us 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.880 calm down, to help us being better physical and mental health. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.400 This was one we had nothing to do with, but 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.040 it came about and we appreciate it. One for me 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.400 that's always a big deal is music. We talked about 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.800 it this morning, well one day this morning on the 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.480 morning run about Justin Bieber's new album. His new album 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.640 came out and we had it on while we were 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.480 working and it was just too mellow of the Viye. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.120 This is not a knock against just he was just 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.280 putting out a different type of album. It's a little darker, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.360 more poignant stuff, and we had to turn off because 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:52.440 we need music. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.120 You put Carly Rae Jepson on. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.160 No, that's all No. I came out from the bathroom 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.120 and we were dancing at the table to that. I 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.640 didn't put that, but we had and we had to 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:06.800 put an upbeat, a fun playlist on. And music is 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.160 healing everything. It is everything to me. But I fell 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.760 into this thing where I was listening to a lot 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.600 of rap music that had choirs in it. For whatever reason, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.799 that was my thing. Listen going to church. J Cole Common, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.760 a boy out of Chicago, Chance the rapper. I don't 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.520 know why I got onto a kick and I had 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.120 a whole playlist going of that music, and it felt 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.200 great to me. So whatever your thing might be, music 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.400 is always something, And probably every week I have a 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:38.080 new genre or a new thing subgenre of music I 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:39.920 just fall into. And that was great for me this week. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.800 When I run next to you, you're going at it 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:43.520 like it's so cute. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:44.480 I think it's so sweet. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.280 I can hear you even through my music sometimes, especially 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.760 when I'm listening to an audiobook, I can hear you 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.400 singing along and getting all into the music. It's it's 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.040 I love it. I think that's no, that's so sexy. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.680 It's one of my favorite things about you. I love 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.320 that you just get into it and you're in the moment. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.760 You're not thinking about what you have to do later 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.640 today or all the stuff we just talked about, all 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.520 the heavy, heavy news. You are in the moment and 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:09.960 just it's pure joy. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.440 It sounds embarrassing, No, it's it's it's subtle, but it's cute. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.599 It's I really really like that. I love how much 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.360 you love music because it does it is transforming. We 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.480 always have music playing music always For me. I have 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.200 really been getting into Gabby Bernstein's new book Self Help. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.479 It's funny. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.560 The title says it all, but it really is about 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.920 helping yourself and finding this. It's a very specific way 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.400 of going into why you do what you do, understanding 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.880 why you do it, and then doing better. So when 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.200 I run, especially a longer run, I do love listening 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.520 to my self help books where I'm making my mind 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.719 better along with my body. Everything is getting stronger and 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.520 I feel empowered. It just gives me tools to get 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.480 through the day better. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.159 And to be a better humane self help. 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.159 Yes, so I've been listening to that on some of 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.320 my long runs, which I appreciate. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.279 See, I don't know how you do that. I cannot 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.080 listen to. The only thing I can listen to is 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.080 stand up comedy. But I cannot listen to a book 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.520 or a show. When I run, I gotta be going. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.799 I'm actually now So now our runs are getting longer. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.800 We're training for the Stockholm Half Marathon at the end 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.240 of August. And when I know I got longer runs on, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.919 I actually the music. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.040 Gets it's repetitive. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.320 I have the same music playing over and over again, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.880 and it's just I'm not like you. I don't take 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.640 the time to make playlists. I wish I was like 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.720 that you send me. Sometimes I beg you you send 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.040 me a playlist to mix it up a little bit, 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.360 but I actually will get it. I'm gonna find myself 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.240 a good murder mystery because I love like Actually, it 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.320 feels like I'm watching a movie in my mind. 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.280 As I'm running, I. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.960 Can completely disassociate from the pain, like who Like, After 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.960 a few miles, You're just like, win is this ending? 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.080 So if I'm in a book and I'm really. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:59.480 Into the story, I love it. Two hours Yeah, Oh 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.400 I can do a full, like half marathon with a 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.560 audiobook I love. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.920 And you don't do you not have a long list 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.120 of playlists in your Spotify? 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.160 Not enough? No, it just it's too much. I'm one 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.440 of those it just takes too much time. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.760 Sometimes I let the DJ do it, or you know, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.640 like a running mix that that Spotify or AI makes 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.440 for me, and I always hate half the songs. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.760 See that's I'm very specific. I'm very intentional in my 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.880 playlist and I will make one for whatever mood that day, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.320 and I name them all all kinds. I'm looking. 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.880 You would have made mixtapes for me back in the day. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.760 Oh my god, I would have them and labeled them. Oh, 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.760 that would have been great my playlist. I'm looking at 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.760 the title. One is called new, one is called under 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.120 the Sea. There's a no vasileine cake by the ocean 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.000 Amen no vasiline. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.800 I'm sorry. I didn't want to just let that one 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.000 go by with that explanation. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.240 Some you know what, this will make sense? You know 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.600 what this is. It's titled that because it includes a 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.480 track from ice Cube, which was a dis track that 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.640 he did back in the early nineties, I think. And 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.840 so the whole playlist is just dis tracks from rappers 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:11.160 over the years. That's my disk track playlist. See I'm 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.160 very specific. This is why I don't have any issues running. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.720 But oh my everything to me. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.760 We talked earlier as well. Something we did. We did 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.880 get out of town with the girls for vacation at 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.120 a beach for a little while in Turks. We could 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.960 say that I think we went Turks. There were a 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.679 particular highlight of Turks for us every time we go. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.880 We don't have a pet here in New York, but 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.640 we have one in Turks. We love this cat. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.560 This cat we've named Oreo, but we found out that 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.280 she has multiple names from what. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.440 Are sam is I think what the. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.800 Sam Chloe was another name. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.680 Bread. That's ridiculous, that's a silly She's she's Oreo and 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.360 always will be to us. But we are able to 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.560 go back and she finds us every time, and she 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.240 has really been a huge part of our weeks there, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.679 and she's she just makes us happy. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.320 We can't downplay this. This is a I mean, look, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.120 they say animals all the time, there are the therapy 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.120 animals or whatever, and the hell people take them to 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.760 schools or take them to places where people have had tragedies, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.439 and animals do this for us and it changes everything. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.440 I think we took more pictures of that cat than 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.880 we did of ourselves and our kids. We were on 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.240 that trip. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:29.439 Qu cheese. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.600 Look how sweet she is, and she's the friendliest cat. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.920 Like obviously cats get a bad rap for making you 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.680 come to them. She comes to us. She comes and 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.160 snuggles up next to us, and. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.199 It's just it just brings you peace. I love it. 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.120 We enjoy the highlight. That Oriole is always a highlight, 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.400 but one of the highlights. And I can say this 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.960 now we're not revealing anything, but there was a point. Look, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.280 I think everybody knows you're not a huge sports fan. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.880 You keep up. You love college football. I love college 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.439 love college football. But we're at the spot there in 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.720 Turks and we're hanging out folks and by the pool. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.160 We were in a cabana kind of a thing, and 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.200 somebody just strolls right by and you can't see them 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.640 that long because we're in a cabana. We have a 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.319 full view. So it goes by and only see him 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.480 for a split second or two. And I tap your daughter, Analise, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.880 who is a University of Colorado's student, and I said, yo, 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.079 see who that was? She said, no, who was it? 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.320 And it was none other than number one overall NFL 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:35.000 draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. She goes crazy, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:41.959 Robot says who she thinks it shador Sanda's just walk Colorado. 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.600 I knew, I knew who that was. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.559 So it doesn't in there. This was really hilarious to me, 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.160 and maybe we should post this picture like, yeah, we 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.640 did have it. But the girls are in the pool 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.280 in the ocean later just kind of what we're all doing, 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.600 just having your drinks, standing around, just enjoying the water. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:57.880 Yeah, we were just cooling off. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.760 It was hot so I stay on the beach, I 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.480 stay out of the water. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.839 You're not a beach or not an ocean guy. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.440 So I'm taking a picture of a robot. She's looking 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.880 back at me. The girls are all kind of around, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.000 and I have this great shot of someone snorkeling, not 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:18.400 in our group, just another person snorkeling literally three feet 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.280 maybe from rodes and I'm trying to point, trying to 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.160 get it. Never sees it. They get out of the water. Later, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.280 I said, Babe, did you see the Heisman Trophy winner 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.880 number one overall draft pick just almost literally swam up 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.520 your butt and you didn't even turn around. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.520 I had no clue thats who that was. I'm like, 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:37.400 that's who that was. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.400 I saw the couple snorkeling, I didn't know it was them. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.120 See this is funny to me. You know how many 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.920 people in the world want access to this kid, to 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.839 have a moment with him, a picture, a sofie, an autograph, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.280 a conversation. You were snorkling. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.079 I was enjoying the surf and the sand in the 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.439 sun with the Heisman winner and didn't even know. 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.760 Oh, we gotta post that picture out. 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:10.240 That's funny, all right, We will well and oh and 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.400 something else. Oh, this was something that I actually felt 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.240 like was a good moment for me. It's about recovery. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.800 It's about recognizing your body, recognizing when you're pushing yourself 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.080 too hard. Don't I don't think any runner likes to quit. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.960 I don't like to quit. But I have to say, 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.480 did I mention how hot it was in Turks? It was, Yeah, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.360 it never got out of the eighties and high humidity, 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.560 and that's not my jam so much when we're running. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:39.200 So we got up. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:40.959 I mean we were running at like six forty five 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.480 in the morning, correct, But we had a six miler 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.480 that we had to do for our training run. And 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.640 I was pushing myself. By two miles, I knew I was. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.240 My face was red, I was feeling hot and dizzy. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.400 I'll give you this. The entire three miles was going 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.240 in one direction, directly towards the sun with no shade, for. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.640 It was punishing. So I turned around and you had 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.360 gotten ahead of me, and I said, just go, go go. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.199 I'm going to be slower. I had to take some 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.959 walking breaks, which I again am not proud of, and 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.599 I finally got to five point three seven miles and 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.679 you had texted me like you were almost back to 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.880 the car, and I just said, babe, I have to 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:22.199 call it. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.640 Can you just please come pick me up? Have I 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:25.959 ever said that to you? 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.959 Well, you rarely have the luxury of having me come 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:30.600 pick you up. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.040 Right, we don't have a car. That is so true. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.199 But I made a decision, and I felt like this 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.640 was actually a smart decision. I felt dizzy, I felt dehydrated, 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:42.760 I felt overheated, and. 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.800 I thought, what am I trying to prove? Who am 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:45.959 I trying to prove this to. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.120 I don't need to run this extra point six three 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.400 miles to say I did the six mile and check 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.800 it off. I can say right now, my body is 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.760 telling me to stop, and that's what I did. And 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.559 I have to tell you I grappled with it, and 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.800 it's embarrassing to me. They want to have to text you. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.679 I felt weak, I felt and I looked back at 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.760 it and said, no, that was strength, that was me 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.440 being that was me being smart. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.839 And so it's okay. You give yourself. You got to 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.760 give yourself greates before you do it to anybody else. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.880 I'll say that to everybody else, but I won't do 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.120 it for myself, and so I actually had to look 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.960 back at it reflectively and say, you know what, I'm 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:24.640 proud of myself for saying, uncle, I need to stop 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.560 right now, and I did. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.640 That was an extreme day. And what did I you 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.520 said your word and embarrassing, and what did I say 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:31.960 to you when I picked you up? You didn't hear 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.840 me say, oh, actually I thought you Yeah, you were great. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.160 And then and then you had to pull over. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.040 Oh yeah, you didn't have to add that extra part. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.760 We were ending on a high note. That was yes, okay, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.600 oh yes, fine, we had to pull over. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.720 She had to up chuck well, and so that was 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.920 also my point, like see, my body was telling me stop. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.960 So that was like for me, that was confirmation I 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.600 did the right thing. Throwing up told me way to go, Amy, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.280 you made a good choice. Okay. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.480 The last thing on the Turks on the Turk trip, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.400 it's it's a weird one dimension, but it gave us 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.880 so much joy and so much calm. It actually occupied 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.000 so much of our time. But it was the oddest 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.800 thing that you would never really think of. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:22.800 But this, to me is a lesson when you're wherever 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.560 you are in the world, but when you're out in nature, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:26.440 watch nature. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:27.360 It was better. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.520 We'll tell you what we were doing. It was better 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.480 than any Netflix series. It was better than any like 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.600 Beach Read that I could have had in my hand. 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:43.480 We ended up poolside watching a show of seagulls. Can 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.680 you explain we were I had not seen this before, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.640 but there was a line of unending seagulls that were 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.440 managing people who were in the pool. But they were 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:58.240 coming down one by one and skimming the water and 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:03.200 trying to drink from the pool, like getting some water 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.880 in their mouths. Some were really adept and good at it, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.480 and some were terrible at it. We watched one seagull 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.080 make eight attempts and could not get water in his mouth. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.880 We were laughing so hard. It was like a comedy 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.080 and a drama all in one, provided by nature. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.840 I don't know if I've ever you know, we ended 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.720 up Maybe our minds were in the right mindset to 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.680 where we weren't thinking about work at the time. We're done, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.000 But that was such an important lesson. I still do things. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.160 Stop and we say smell the roses, but you miss 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.120 so much that's right in front of you because you're 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.640 looking down on your phone. You're walking down the street 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.600 focused on something else, and maybe the love of your 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.760 life might be walking right by and you didn't even 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.360 lay eyes on her because you're focused on something else. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.960 That was That day was the highlight of a seven 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.360 day trip when we decided to do nothing. We just 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:56.400 went me, you and Sabine. 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:57.000 Was that a book? 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.840 There was no book, There was no music, There was 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.639 no nothing but us laying on beach chairs watching seagulls 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.240 do circles NonStop. You know what. It almost reminds you 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.919 of an airport. They kept circling around, circling around. Then 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.800 they come down and try to land, which was essentially 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.440 get water, which was a precision operation. You're flying, you 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.080 gotta get just low enough to get the water. You 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.000 can't be too high to miss it, but if you 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.280 go too low you might your head. 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.360 It was funny, and we watched these seagulls all take 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.879 different it's so weird, different choices, and it was so funny. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:33.920 I couldn't believe. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.720 But how long did we sit there and watch seagulls 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:38.760 try to drink water out of a pool. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:44.639 This sounds so silly, but it was absolutely a wonderful, 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:51.359 just separation of the real world, if you will, or 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.560 excuse me, our perceived world, right, all these things we 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.639 think are so important and we're stressed about. We stopped 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.480 stressing and just enjoyed what was in front of us 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.960 for a moment. And ain't that the trick? 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.480 That was the most relaxed I felt. And it continued. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.920 This year but after that day and we kept laughing 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.240 at ourselves. Did we actually just spend two hours watching seagulls? 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.119 But it was one of my favorite moments of the 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.600 entire trip. And it's a lesson, Like you said, I 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.920 actually believe. I said, if someone took a video of this, 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.560 and you know how people put yulog or whatever up 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.520 on their TV, I would have that video because it 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.679 just made me feel so relaxed and just it's recognizing 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.280 also what we all get hung up on and what 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.000 we worry about. The nature continues, this world goes on, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.160 and there's so many beautiful things to recognize, and we're 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:41.159 also distracted. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.359 It was just such a great lesson. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.440 I got a weird comparison. They talk about these dopamine 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.199 hits kids get. I'm seeing sabine on TikTok so much 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.040 just looking down trying to scroll through these videos and whatnot, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.520 and that one's fifteen seconds. Then there's the next one. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.120 I got my hit all that. You know what, these 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.159 these birds kept a drama going because each one was unique. 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.040 Oh he missed it all, Let's go to the next guy. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.520 It felt like we were watching some social media video 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.639 that all he got on going to the next one. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:17.000 I was kept getting fulfilled, and we kept getting satisfied 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.680 by each one, and each one was different. That was 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:20.400
