But not only is 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: it it's Leo season, but I read that the new 10 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: moon is in Leo. Okay, don't ask you what that means, 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: but the new moon is like a certain it's whatever. 12 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: The moon is doing some stuff, and Leo likes it. 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: And it's a great time for like business and financial planning, 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: and we're all supposed to be like in a more 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: fruitful kind of I don't know, energy to have new 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: business ideas or money ideas or career stuff. So you, guys, 17 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: if you're feeling like you want to make a big 18 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: money decision or a big money bet like today, I 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: mean this month, it might be the month for you. 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: I'm just saying. 21 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: But I didn't win the lottery though, that one billion dollars? 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Did you play? I played? 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: Did you know? I feel like you're either I'm either 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: going to play all the time or I'm never going 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: to play. And I just decided a while back, I 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: guess because growing up as a kid, like when my 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: dad would open up the car door, lottery tickets would 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: just fall out because they would just be stuffed into 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: the you know, the little cubby there, and it just 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: never No, I have never played. 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: Only I only play when it reaches something astronoc because 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't pay attention. So this is like the second time, 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: maybe I played second or third time when because like 34 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: I remember before when it reached like a billion, and 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I was like, oh so it it grabbed my attention. 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I do it because it's 37 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: it's at a billion. That's a cute little number. And 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: so I put twenty dollars on it. Obviously I didn't win, 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: but they won in Illinois, where my sister lives. So 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: we called her. We were like, tell us she won, 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: and she was like no. But it was like at 42 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: a corner store next to where she used to live 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: that sold the winning ticket. I was like, oh, dang, 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: this close to being a billion. 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: Shut up twenty six. 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't. 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: I thought it was just that one well one one 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: winner won like a billion dollars one point three three 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: seven billion dollars and we'll probably never find out who 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: it was. If you won, I feel like, wouldn't you 51 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: be anonymous girl illing on BALI? 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: I'd be like, hello, I mean, Bollie, don't tell anywhere, right, 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying Bali, I'm saying, but secretly i'd be in 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: Mexico Lion talking about I'm in BALI like, yeah. 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: Witness protection for billionaires. 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: So I well, I mean I would just leave just 57 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: so people can't, you know, try to like squeeze me 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: through some So yeah. I The first person I would call, 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: honestly is my financial advisor. Because I'm such a nerd. 60 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: I'd be like, wait, I would set aside some fun money, 61 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: like maybe half a million, you know, just a little something. 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: I guess. The first question is lump sum or annuity. 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: If I was a begder thirty, I would do annuity 64 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: over thirty lump sum, baby, because it's like it's a 65 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty year page through. Yeah I did. I was like, 66 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: you know, what if I get this money, I'm like, 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: because I'm like, I'm forty two now, so twenty years, 68 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, eh, you know, I'm responsible, So I'll give 69 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: you my money. Now, I think that's like six or 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: seven hundred million. That's what I think the lump sum is. 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: Then it doesn't include taxes, which are like at least 72 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: half that, so you're looking at maybe like two hundred 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars, which is plenty, but annuity. If 74 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: I was under twenty or under thirty, I would do 75 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: annuity because I don't know I'd had all my sense yet, 76 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: so I'd be like, I messed up the year one, okay, okay. 77 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Oh near two, okay, you're too I messed up okay, okay, 78 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: But year five I got it. And so that way, 79 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: every year I have a chance to, like, you know, 80 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: to make it right. So that's what I would do. 81 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: What about you, I think I would. 82 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: Just take the lump sum because I'd be afraid someone 83 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: would just someone would miss up some paperwork or someone 84 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: would die, and then like seven years down the line, 85 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: no more millions. You know. I don't know. And my 86 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: husband did ask me. We were on like a little 87 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: road trip this weekend, and one of the random questions 88 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: that you asked. He was like, you know, how would 89 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: our life change if we had a billion dollars? I 90 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: couldn't think of. I was like, life's pretty good. I 91 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: guess we'd like get a bigger house. You'd probably have 92 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: a few Tesla's in the driveway. I don't know, like 93 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: but I don't know. I I it's almost that amount 94 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: of money. I would, I would, I would want advisement. 95 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: You remember Amazon Jeff Bezos's ex wife, Mackenzie. I feel 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: like her approach was she seemed to have taken her time, 97 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: but then very quickly started just like setting up trusts 98 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: and giving money away and finding out a way to 99 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: put that money to good use because it would feel 100 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: like unearned and I would want to give it, give 101 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: it away, you know, some of it, and I would 102 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, I'd still be able to take care 103 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 2: of a few generation of woodroff Santoisis. I feel like, 104 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: and then I still want to turn around and do 105 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: something good with that money, because it's so so any 106 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: It could have been anyone, you know what I mean, like. 107 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: Anyway whoever, and really just being like a school teacher 108 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: or whatever and being like, let me just check. I 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: don't even know. I would just be shaking, I disbelief. 110 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: I probably would have lost a lot of ticket to 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 2: be fair, and. 112 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: I know, Lord knows, i'd be like it would have 113 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: been in the laundry. I'd been, wait, where's my ticket? 114 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: Where's my ticket? 115 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: So I don't even know how to play it. I 116 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: just to go how exactly. 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: Oh. 118 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: I hate when people give me gift cards. I'm like, oh, 119 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: so you really just don't want me to have anything good. 120 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: You just want to give that money to the company. 121 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: And I'm never going to use it. 122 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm never going to use it.

There's there's 177 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: some stuff to be happy. 178 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: About, speaking about like workers. I was at what was 179 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: I at Marshall's. I was in Marshall's and Clark and 180 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: I ran. I was going to the jusson one. I 181 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: was like, I saw this woman. I was like, I 182 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: know your face. She's kind of your face too, And 183 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: I was like, where are you from? And so we 184 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: were like kind of go back and forth, you know, 185 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: do that, like where'd you go to school? What about this? 186 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: What about this? And then I was like, what do you work? 187 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I'm a principal at this school 188 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 1: in Belleville. And I was like, that's where I know 189 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: you from. I went to my Amelia shout to you 190 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: me Me. That's my Mini Me twin, my sassy Mini 191 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: Me twin. She was in kindergarten last year and they 192 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: had like a summer concert where it was outside, like 193 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: on the blacktop, and all the parents came. And I 194 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: remembered her because she was such an engaged educator, Like 195 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know she was a principal at 196 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: the time, but she was like so loving to the 197 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: students and like she just seemed awesome. And I remembered 198 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: her from that and she was like, oh, I was like, oh, 199 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, you know I used to be a teacher. 200 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: She's like, a you're looking for a job. And I 201 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: was like, I thought she was joking. She's like, no, 202 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: we're losing teachers like hotcakes. Honestly. She's like, if you 203 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: every want a return, she said, Tiffany can't. We can't 204 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: keep teachers if you're looking for a job. And I 205 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: just thought, wow, like it's a little scary because I 206 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw. There was an article that 207 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: I read like two or three days ago that a 208 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: teacher in Ohio quit his job after he went to 209 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: school for five years, got his degree, had his master's, 210 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: was making forty three thousand dollars a year. Quit that 211 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: job too, work at Walmart as a manager where he 212 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: did not need a degree, and he's making fifty three thousand. 213 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: So he quit over fifty three or fifty five. He's 214 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: making twelve thousand more dollars a year as a as 215 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: a manager at Walmart. And he's like, I actually loved 216 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: teaching and wanted to teach and to be here for 217 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: the kids, but I can't afford to live at that level. 218 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: And so it's just like, what's going to happen, Like 219 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: if we don't pay teachers more, we don't create a 220 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: better environment. This is not like packing boxes, like teachers 221 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: are essential workers. And so it was a little scary 222 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: that she was literally like, you want a job and 223 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: met the fact that this young man who's only twenty 224 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: eight years old, you know, had to quit like his 225 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: dream job because it wasn't enough to sustain himself. 226 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: I was just at I work with I work, I 227 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: live in a neighborhood. But there's this a little group 228 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: of moms and several of them are teachers. And to 229 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: hear them, I didn't realize how many teaching jobs require 230 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: a master's or like an advanced degree. That to me, 231 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, I mean, I understand it, but the pay 232 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 2: the math does not math. And you're so right, I mean, 233 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: and it's it's this generation of would be teachers that 234 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: I worry about, like gen z, who are trying to 235 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: decide their own career paths. How why would you tell 236 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: them to go into teaching other than like for the 237 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: pe or love of it, you know, because the pay 238 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: and this, like New York Times front page this weekend 239 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 2: was like teachers are strapped now, teachers prepared for elementary 240 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: school trying to carry weapons into school for their own safety. 241 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what we're gonna do, but 242 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: I do feel like there has to be some sort 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: of inflection point. And it's all state, right, It's like 244 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: what states decide to pay their teachers. It's all at 245 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: the state level. 246 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: So I need sairly because there's definitely like district by 247 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: district can decide. Like I remember at one point, Westfield 248 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: where I grew up, was paying like forty and Newark 249 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: was paying fifty five thousand. So it's not I think 250 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: that there's a basic framework at the state provides, but 251 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: the districts can make have the final say. 252 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 2: Right because like property taxes, all fee into how much 253 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: you can pay in the lower income places get the 254 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: least resources. All of that. Yeah, well to those educators 255 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: who are still hanging in there, thank you so so much. 256 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: I didn't even mind that they raised the fee at 257 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: daycare this past month. I felt some type of way 258 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: about it, but I was like, go and give me 259 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: Shelley a raise. 260 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: For real. It's hard. Honestly, people don't realize, like it 261 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,359 Speaker 1: is so difficult to teach because it's not a profession 262 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: that you can kind of leave your heart at home. 263 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,479 Speaker 1: So it just weighs so like it's weighs on you personally, professionally, emotionally, 264 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: like honestly, like a good teacher actually loves her kids, 265 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: like you know, especially if you're teaching the little ones, 266 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Like you drop your three year old, that's our three 267 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: year old, just so you know, like that's my baby too, 268 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: Like I love your kid, you know, like I pray 269 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: for your kid, I buy things for your kid.

So 279 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: like that's not your guess our kid, you know, And 280 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: that's what you're wanting from a really good teacher, someone 281 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: that like loves your kid is invested in your kid, 282 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: and then because they're gonna notice things maybe that you 283 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: might not have noticed.

So, 651 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: like I said to me, the tiktoks are like secondary 652 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: to like the relationship building we get to build. So 653 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm just excited about that. And she's excited about money, 654 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: which is good. Oh and Mandy, you'd be proud of 655 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: her because she was like, so, after a couple of 656 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: months of of me mastering it, I'm going to make 657 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: a request that you post on your social and tell 658 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: people if they live in the Newark area they can 659 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: meet us on Saturday and I will do their tiktoks 660 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: for them. And I was like, oh, are you talking 661 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: about scale, Yes, I said, She's like, but they're not 662 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: going to get your price raise. I'm like, okay, that's fine. 663 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: But I just thought that was really smart that, like, 664 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: because I literally the place where we were taping it, 665 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: they have so many different backgrounds where you can choose from, 666 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: so it wouldn't look like we're all doing our tiktoks 667 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 1: in the same space. So watch out for Supergirl TikTok Inc. 668 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: Coming to a new coworking space near you. 669 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 2: That's great, And I know that that was one of 670 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: the other things. You gave yourself time to figure that 671 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 2: outcause I know that in the beginning after Superman's passing, 672 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: you weren't sure what that would look like. But it 673 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: just happened organically. Yeah from beautiful, Yeah, beautiful. And I 674 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: can't wait when when all right, I'm gonna do a 675 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: quick boosty boost. So I'm gonna do a boost for 676 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: a new podcast that a buddy of mine. He's become 677 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 2: a buddy. So this is a guy named Christopher ron Medez. 678 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 2: You can see him and call me kat on what 679 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: is that CBS. He's an actor. So he has a 680 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: new podcast which I had never heard of this story. 681 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 2: But the podcast is called Ruby Rosa and it is 682 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: the story of the original the original inspiration for James Bond, 683 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 2: who was a Dominican man named PONIONI. How do you 684 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: say Poniferro? 685 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: Shit? 686 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: Did I say that wrong? I'm sorry Ponifrio or Ponifierro 687 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: Ruby Rosa. And so he's doing like an eight or 688 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: ten episode really engate, like exciting, interesting storytelling. There's a 689 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: couple of episodes up, so just go check it out. 690 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: It's gonna be like eight or ten episodes and it's 691 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 2: the story of the original inspiration, and because he's a 692 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: Dominican man, you know, I had to take Enrique, my 693 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: my husband, and I took him to Chris's podcast launch 694 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: party and it was so fun and the whole room 695 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: was full of Latin artists and creators, and there was 696 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: spoken word, there was poetry readings. It was just really beautiful. 697 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: And the show itself is just so cool because it's 698 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 2: not just the story of the original inspo, Ruby Rosa, 699 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: but it's also like Chris's journey as a Dominican growing 700 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 2: up in Queens, New York and not really embracing his 701 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: heritage and doing that later in life. So if you 702 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: want something new to listen to, it's a little bit different. 703 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 2: I highly highly recommend it. Oh I like that Rubirosa. 704 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: I feel bad for pronouncing the guy's name wrong, but 705 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: he was a saucy character, very interesting. 706 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: No, I love that.

I think that was like 724 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: the same conversation. 725 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the same conversation. But I said, I'm 726 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: doing that and when I tell you, I'm not gonna lie. 727 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: My gloots are Okay, they left the honey. 728 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: One of our listeners responded on ig At brandon Mission podcast. 729 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: She responded and says she does the same thing. She's 730 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 2: been squatting while she brushes her teeth. Meanwhile, I'm just 731 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 2: like counting. I'm like, dang, I got this for two minutes. 732 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: Two minutes is a long time. I should go back 733 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: when you squat something. I did think about habit stacking, though, 734 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 2: I realized that's what I started to do with my 735 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 2: my walking. I habit stack that. So I take Rio 736 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: to daycare every day. Okay, so as soon as I 737 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: drop him off, I just made it a habit to 738 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: go to the park and do my walk. 739 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: Is that habit? 740 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: Stacking? 741 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: It is because you do something that you're already doing 742 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: without thinking about it. Kind of it's like, of course, 743 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the baby to daycare, and then you 744 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: stack something new that's not as natural, and so like 745 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: now it's to the point where if I brush my teeth, 746 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: it actually feels weird if I'm not squatting, you know, 747 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: because then you make like the new thing you're trying 748 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: to make into a habit, it turns into a habit. 749 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: So once I get really really solid and squatting, I'm 750 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: gonna start doing lunges because lunches really tone your legs. 751 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: But it's a lot, so I'm just like, Okay, get 752 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: used to these squats, and then we're gonna add on lunges, 753 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: you know. So I'm like, you know, slowly trying to 754 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: stack on top of stack. But I'm telling you, like, 755 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, like how do you make life, you know, 756 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: and building new habits just like a little bit easier, 757 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, by stacking on top of things that you 758 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: do without thinking about.
