1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.399
High adoring fans. We had a little glitch this week

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.919
with our episode originally scheduled for Sunday, so we took

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:09.720
a recent recording and hit the AI button. What we

4
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.119
really wanted was to look younger and thinner. Well that

5
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.320
didn't happen, but it was an interesting experience. All the

6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.480
kids are doing it. But this AI hoop last still

7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.600
a little creepy. Get a load of this cringy AI voice.

8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.640
Enjoy this week's episode. We'll be back on schedule going forward.

9
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:39.039
We knew you were worried, love Don and Gary Hi,

10
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.159
Gary Hi Hi.

11
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.159
Ooh you said visual props like at all our loopy.

12
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.399
It's not even catheine, it's running me. How are you?

13
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.479
I'm good? How are you?

14
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.640
I'm good? You're looking quite spelled and fabulous today.

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.280
Well it's Wednesday and I showered, so you know, all

16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:57.039
those things help.

17
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.479
We all thank you for that. So how are you good?

18
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.560
It's been you know, my Wednesdays, my day off. It

19
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.040
has been busy. I've been on the ghost since this morning.

20
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.319
How to go? I get some blood drawn for later

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.400
in the month, I go see my doctor and just

22
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.439
running a bunch of errands and yeah, and I just

23
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.200
got back about about an hour ago.

24
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.719
So it's a side note because I went to my

25
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.200
doctor on Monday too for a physical or a checkup,

26
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:25.840
And are.

27
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.799
You getting blood work for your physical or it's just

28
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.799
for the follow up with your nutritionus in.

29
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.920
Your the blood work is for my annual with my

30
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.959
primary care doctor. Got you because I last saw him

31
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.599
March of last year. So I'm like, you know what,

32
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:40.840
let's just check in and.

33
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.120
We're on the same We're on the same cycle for that.

34
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.239
So you know, it's funny too, because I mean, I

35
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.239
love and I hate going to the doctor because the

36
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.439
blood work that you do is always something you know,

37
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.959
I guess what your cholesterol is here, and your LDL

38
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.760
here and your HDL is there, And I never understand

39
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.319
anything on those reports, right, And you can read them

40
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.439
in your portals when you.

41
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.640
Write, yeah, well, I guess you should talk. I guess

42
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.200
we should talk to the doctor too.

43
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:06.400
Right, ask questions.

44
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.879
So anyway, so what's going on? Sorry?

45
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.159
So today, you know, we've had you know, some stressful

46
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.280
several weeks to start out the year, and we talked

47
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:24.319
in one episode about what's been going on nationwide, but

48
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.319
I thought we'd lighten it up. So I found some

49
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:32.000
information on senior discounts, because you know, we are doing

50
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.919
sixty so we should know what's out there. Plus, I

51
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.360
found a really fun article on a group of ladies

52
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.719
in Massachusetts who are all over sixty and they're doing

53
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.400
some kind of fun. So I'm going to expand on that, okay,

54
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.919
and catch up on a couple other things that we've

55
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.919
talked about in the past. White, I'm going to bring

56
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.120
up tetanus.

57
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.919
You are full of it today. You've got to.

58
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.080
I'm full of something, Honey, I don't know what it is.

59
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.280
You're full of nuggets, that's what you are. So I

60
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.199
have a question. Do you think I should grow a

61
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.159
beard or should I grow and wear it to pay?

62
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:07.319
What do you think?

63
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.159
Well, visually, that's not an attractive beard.

64
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.599
Okay, Well the reason why, well, that's.

65
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.000
Not your first beard you've had in the.

66
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.159
We're changing the AstroTurf. Did you know that AstroTurf is

67
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.800
going away eventually? Or turf fake lawns are going away

68
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.319
soon because they produce too many microplastics.

69
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:29.240
In the environment.

70
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.039
Okay, yes, So in California, I believe that we're going

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.120
to stop using them, or allowing to use them in

72
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.879
the next couple of years actually.

73
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.199
And are they substituting it with something else that's not

74
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:42.080
real grass.

75
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.039
That's a good question because at first it was droughts

76
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.439
that was causing us to go away from grass and

77
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.439
going to like dry scapes and things like this.

78
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.000
And I don't know why I'm on this dietrite, but

79
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.080
these props are too good to not pull up and try.

80
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.039
Well, you know, I don't know there's an alternative other

81
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.639
than dry scapes, which is also the shape of my skin.

82
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.960
Right now, so let's talk about the elefante in la Abati,

83
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.800
shall we?

84
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.280
Well, but don't we want to take a quick break

85
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:06.919
and then come back.

86
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.919
You know, Well, okay, but I wanted to talk about

87
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:09.240
my hair.

88
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.319
Oh okay, Well no, then we should stop everything right now.

89
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.040
Everyone stop what you do, listen or watch.

90
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:17.720
Well, I just wanted to tell you I just got

91
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.759
off my rowing machine on my Avron. No plug intended,

92
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.519
but an if you'd like to sponsor us, we're here

93
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.319
for I think I'm small. I'm having a small affair

94
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:32.319
with one of my virtual instructors. They don't know it yet, so.

95
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.199
You think, and they don't know, so it sounds like

96
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:35.959
a real fair to me.

97
00:04:37.759 --> 00:05:10.959
I guess we'll take a break then, huh, let's do that. Okay. Hi,

98
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.279
welcome to Donn and Gary Doing Sixty. My name is

99
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.160
Aaron Brokovic.

100
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.120
We're here to on wrap and unpack navigating the world

101
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.199
at this age.

102
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.199
Oh why the pause?

103
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:27.279
I don't know, so real quick Before I talked about, like,

104
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.120
you know, having an affair with my rowing instructor, but

105
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.759
basically I just got off my avaron, which is not

106
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.480
a euphemism for something else.

107
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.160
So I'd like to clear that up with the audience.

108
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.439
Okay, okay, good to know.

109
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.120

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:52.439

at gmail dot com. Just throw it in.

117
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.199
You're here and that's where I'm the executive producer of

118
00:05:59.199 --> 00:05:59.680
this show.

119
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.560
My check doesn't reflect that, but that's okay, going to

120
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.560
bring up before we move on to our main topic.

121
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.120
I want to go over a couple of quick things.

122
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.240
So this month, which we're recording now, it's the first

123
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.680
week of March, the post Office is issuing a new

124
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:23.600
commemorative stamp. Really and I went to the post office today,

125
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.199
but they're not out yet. I was hoping to, like

126
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.199
we're talking about senior discounts. I was hoping to be

127
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.560
able to hold up my Betty White stamps, but they're

128
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:31.240
not out yet.

129
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.279
So and then last year or the year before I

130
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.240
forget now she died.

131
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.439
It was towards the end of the year I want

132
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.920
to say twenty twenty three. Yeah, she was ninety nine.

133
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.800
She was going to be turning one hundred, like in January,

134
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120
mid January something like that, and she passed away before

135
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:50.920
hitting one hundred.

136
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.160
Yeah. Well, I'm sure you get your stamps later.

137
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.199
Well I will, okay. And then in a previous podcast,

138
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.639
we are talking about, you know, staying current on our health,

139
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.319
you know, checking with your doctor or so on. And

140
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.279
I had brought up to you the question of what

141
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.639
is the tetanus shot for? And you said for tetanus,

142
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:17.639
which is.

143
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.240
So helpful that the topic was so good on that.

144
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.399
So I decided to look it up. And it says

145
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.399
if I can read this, it's a very small print.

146
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.680
The tetanus vaccine is part of the recommended series of

147
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:37.319
childhood and adult immunizations. It protects against the bacterial infectious tetanus,

148
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:43.199
also known as lockjaw. Tetanus causes jaw cramping and painful

149
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.240
muscle spasms. There's no cure, and ten to twenty percent

150
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:52.199
of people who have it die. So it is you

151
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.959
know people still get that well, they say, as adults.

152
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.639
So that is one of the questions I have for

153
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.040
my doctor, my primary okay doctor, when I see him

154
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.920
later this month, is I think this should take it

155
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.959
every ten years. I don't recall ever taking it. So

156
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.560
I'm sure he'll say yes, but I'll just wait to

157
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.199
talk to him in a couple of weeks. So that's tetanus.

158
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.480
But in the meantime, there was talk about a pneumonia

159
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.600
vaccine out about so I contacted my primary care doctor

160
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:28.399
and one of his associates replied and said, there's because

161
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.080
I would recommend the RSV vaccine at your convenience. This

162
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.200
is not a pneumonia vaccine and is intended against the

163
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:42.519
respiratory sintillal virus, which is RSV. So I got that

164
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:47.679
one last week, and then he said the pneumonia vaccine

165
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.159
is separate, and I would recommend updating this when you

166
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.279
turn sixty five.

167
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:53.799
Okay, got it.

168
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.440
So on my list of where I keep all my

169
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.360
medical stuff, you know, put on there that seems to

170
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.639
do so in three years from now, you know, twenty

171
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.799
twenty seven or twenty eight, whatever it is, I should

172
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.840
schedule my pneumonia vaccine.

173
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.799
Well, let me ask you a quick question. Yes, do

174
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.840
you do you powerload your vaccines? Because I had the

175
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759
same question asked to me, but they were asking pneumonia, flu,

176
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.720
and COVID all at the same time. So you can

177
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.320
actually get all three of those at the same time

178
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:22.840
if you'd like.

179
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.559
There's been a couple of times when there's been when

180
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.000
it's flu season, you know, in the fall, late fall,

181
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.519
and there's another covid either vaccination or what do they

182
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.279
call like the supplement or you know whatever the other

183
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.759
ones are booster thank you. So there have been times

184
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.279
where I've gotten both of them on the same day.

185
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:43.840
Okay.

186
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.320
So now some build you the same day, some do

187
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.639
to day apart because different people react differently. I'm sure

188
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.200
you've talked to some people that when they get the

189
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.559
one of them, the flu shot of the booster, that

190
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.039
like they're in a lot of pain for several days

191
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.399
and it's like, you know, little pain but like RSV,

192
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.679
very minor and it didn't last very long. So if

193
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.159
I took care of that, so next up could be

194
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.440
the tetanists, if I get it after I speak to

195
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.039
a doctor. But yeah, I'm just trying to keep up

196
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:11.480
on all that.

197
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.159
No, I hear you, and you're such a conscientious individual

198
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.679
putting that in your calendar to remember, because I barely

199
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.879
remembered I needed a flu shot and a pneumonia shot

200
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.039
and probably now I'm going to ask those So I

201
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.320
think we should bill ourselves with a public service announcement

202
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.799
for health care?

203
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.720
Why not? You know, it's if you if you haven't

204
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.559
been doing it, it's never too late to start. I

205
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.000
went many years without seeing my doctor or my dentist

206
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.240
or anything. I just it's just like, you know, it's

207
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.200
like I think it's a guy thing. If it's not brogue,

208
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.480
why fix it, right? But at some point I said, no,

209
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.000
you need to get So I am on a schedule,

210
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.320
and that's why I write everything out and I know, okay,

211
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.879
so if my apployments in February, then I need to

212
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.919
you know, February next year, or for six months later

213
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.039
whatever I put her on out there. So I've got

214
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.399
a visual to help me keep on top of all that.

215
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.960
I guess you know the other thing real quickly, I'd

216
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.559
like to ask you too, because you know I'm the

217
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.919
same way with you. I see the doctor once a year,

218
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.000
and I mean, luckily there's no need for it, but

219
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.320
I mean if you were, I think you would be

220
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.960
smart enough to say if something were not right, you

221
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:17.559
would give.

222
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.720
The doctor a call. Well, yeah, for sure, you know,

223
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.240
because guys like to tough it out.

224
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.200
It's like, oh that doesn't hurt, or like it hurts

225
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.399
just a minute, I'll just I'll just walk it off.

226
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.120
And like that. I don't think at our age we

227
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.279
can afford to walk things off anymore, right, you know

228
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:29.720
what I mean?

229
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.440
Yeah? No, I mean, yeah, you shouldn't wait till the

230
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.039
next year or the next visit to do it. If

231
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:41.320
a summing comes up, that's what they're there for. So yeah, okay,

232
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.720
so off camera, off video, I told you that I

233
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:50.200
have a test for you. It's not pease for you.

234
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.639
But I have to be very clear when I say that,

235
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.840
because if I say, if I say I'm too close

236
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.639
as testes, I don't have testes for you. I have

237
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.559
a test and a tea for you.

238
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.159
Okay. So anthing to do with tetanus.

239
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.960
No, okay, Oh that's good though, right The test is

240
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.200
test for tetanus.

241
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.960
Okay. So the test where you need to have a

242
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.720
piece of paper and a pen on which I'm sure

243
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.519
you have. Yes, Okay, this I found Facebook.

244
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.440
Wait wait, wait, okay, okay, okay.

245
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.960
In a minute, I'm going to have you write some

246
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.200
letters down. But here's the opening of this. Apparently there's

247
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.080
a weird code that if you grew up in the seventies, eighties,

248
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.320
and nineties you can automatically understand. And I'm going to

249
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:38.519
have you write all these letters and in uppercase G

250
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:51.039
y A I, T M F h R h N

251
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:56.200
B I okay, b y A.

252
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.080
Okay.

253
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.240
So it took me a couple of minutes to figure

254
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.799
out what it's an acronym. It means something and it

255
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.879
says again, Apparently there's a weird code that if you

256
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.360
grew up in the seventies, eighties, and nineties. You automatically

257
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:15.600
understand what that means. This, that's the teas Okay, and

258
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.519
I'll give you like ten seconds. I'm going to tell

259
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:18.559
you because we've got to move on.

260
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.720
Okay, So I'm supposed to know what this is.

261
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.440
Yeah, it's an acronym for something. I'll give you a hints,

262
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:32.159
something your parents might call out to you. Okay, I'll

263
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.080
tell you because we went to move on. It stands

264
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:40.840
for get your ass in the motherfucking house right now

265
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:42.639
before I beat your ass.

266
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.919
Yeah, our parents would have said that to us.

267
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.720
Well, my mother would have said in Spanish.

268
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:56.200
But you know, oh my god, I think we.

269
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.080
Put this on Facebook and I'm looking at it, going

270
00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.240
what does that mean? And it was like, oh, I

271
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.879
got it, Oh, I got it. Oh my dad never

272
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.159
said that. Other people got it, some people did. It

273
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.039
took me, you know, like two minutes and I figured

274
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.919
it out. But see, my parents never said that to me.

275
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.320
So anyway, Yeah.

276
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.399
So that was the test. The tea is very quick

277
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.480
and silly. Just because I love hot dogs. I don't

278
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.159
even very often, but you get a craving for a

279
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.240
hot dog, you know.

280
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:26.759
Oh.

281
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.679
There are two restaurants, one in San Francisco and one

282
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.399
is San Mateo, and I think they might be changed.

283
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.799
I'm not sure both of them, but you would think

284
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.799
from the name of the restaurant that they would serve

285
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.360
hot dogs, among other things. One of them is called

286
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.759
Lazy Dog. Have you heard of that one?

287
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:47.879
Yeah? I think so, But go ahead, do you go first?

288
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.600
Yeah, Lazy Dog. It's like a you know, just a

289
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:54.320
bistro that you've got breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yeah, they

290
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.720
serve everything, but they don't serve hot dogs. But they're

291
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.679
called lazy Dog.

292
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.000
They don't serve.

293
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.399
No, They've got like a dog as a mascot and

294
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.480
like pictures of dogs. But I'm like, but why do

295
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.639
we have a hot dog? And the other one is

296
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:15.080
Underdogs Cantina, which is actually a Mexican it's a bar

297
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.279
and then there serve Mexican food. Okay, so you know

298
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:23.639
that bar food, you know. But again I was Underdogs Cantina.

299
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.679
I'm very excited, you know, and no hot dogs.

300
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.600
But you know what, that's actually a good point because

301
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.360
I don't know of a lot of restaurants that serve

302
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.159
hot dogs.

303
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.120
Dirwener Schnitzl.

304
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.519
That's taking us back to the seventies too.

305
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:41.000
Actually is here in Redondo Beach down the street, but

306
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.279
it's kind of sketchy and I'm not sure.

307
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:51.039
Well anyway, okay, so the title of this episode, we're

308
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.399
going to move on to the main topic, if that's

309
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.159
okay with you. Title the main topic is I got

310
00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:01.600
your senior discount right here, and I'll give you the

311
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.080
derivation of where that right here came from. We only

312
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.480
have to go back about forty years. I was on

313
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.559
my very first trip ever to Europe with a bunch

314
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.240
of other people I didn't know was a tour group.

315
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.759
And you're spending two months with these people on this tour.

316
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.840
So you get to befriend them and hang out and

317
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:26.399
laugh and share stories. And there's one there's Wanda from

318
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.639
Georgia and Jody from Alabama, who I still keep in

319
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.519
touch with. Were friends on Facebook, and one has come

320
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.279
out to visit and so on. Anyway, so I attribute

321
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:43.440
this to them, So we use that right here with

322
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:49.559
about anything. I'm wearing long pants, so I can't do

323
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.919
what we normally do. But you're going to hear a

324
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.840
sound and is supposed to simulate slapping your inner thigh,

325
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.360
inner thigh, your inner thighs, because what you'd say is,

326
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:06.440
I got your senior discount right here, and these these

327
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.000
ladies in the South and be slapping the inside of

328
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.759
their thigh when they say this. And that has stayed

329
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.920
with me for forty years. So you can use that.

330
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.119
You can use that that right here anything you want.

331
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.759
You know, Hey, where's where's my cockgait? I got your

332
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:26.200
cocktail right here. So that's where that title came from.

333
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.240
No senior discounts. Only because we've had, you know, a

334
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.519
couple tough weeks, I thought we need to lighten it

335
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.880
up a little, yes, and uh, being that we are sixty,

336
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:46.319
there are lots of opportunities for people of a certain

337
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.839
age to take advantage of things, and they don't always

338
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.440
advertise them. True, right, I know, there's ARP which through them.

339
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.319
If you're a member, you're entitled all kinds of discounts.

340
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.279
You get a free duff when you sign up.

341
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.519
And they come after you. I think at age fifty,

342
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.720
if I'm not mistake knocking early, they never came after me.

343
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.920
So it's a little you know, perturbed that they know

344
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.240
I'm not going to be ignored Dawn, but they just

345
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.880
you know, gard me. But anyway, So I just found

346
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.359
all kinds of fun things and some might be obvious. Oh,

347
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:21.920
I'm so go ahead.

348
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.079
Let me ask you a question. That's okay.

349
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.279
How do you feel about using or asking or making

350
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.039
calling attention to the fact that you would like a

351
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.039
senior discount?

352
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.039
Oh I have no Hey, if it's going to save

353
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.079
me some money, I have absolutely no problem.

354
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.359
Okay. No.

355
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.559
When I was you know, maybe like early fifties, and

356
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.480
they said, oh, you know, it's fifty five and older,

357
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.119
I'm like, damn. But once I became fifty five, I'm like,

358
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.359
I'm first in line.

359
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.720
Then you pushed through unfortunately qualified for a lot of things.

360
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.279
Now, yeah, fifty five plus living communities if we wanted.

361
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.920
Although I will tell you that I did look into that,

362
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.039
just you know, as we're all looking at options as

363
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.039
we get older and like look towards retirement and can

364
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.119
I live where I currently live or should I move

365
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:06.400
or should I sell? I mean, you look at all

366
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.200
these options. And I don't know about southern California, but

367
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.720
in northern California there are fewer opportunities for like senior

368
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.799
living senior communities, but the few that are here are

369
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.039
really expensive.

370
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.640
Oh, everywhere, everywhere.

371
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.839
And it's like, how do you I mean, at that

372
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.599
point where we're on a fixed income, so how how

373
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.559
do you make that happen?

374
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.079
Okay, it's it's definitely a choice and definitely something we

375
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.440
could dive into. I didn't mean to take you in

376
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.480
that direction.

377
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.240
But yeah, no, no, but that's I mean, that's part

378
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.200
of you know.

379
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.759
No discount there, right, none at all because it's very

380
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:46.559
expensive to do.

381
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.960
So anyway, sorry I took you off that run.

382
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.400
No, I mean, you know, and this is kind of

383
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.799
silly light whatever, but it's just kind of putting it

384
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.039
out there. So in terms of entertainment, there's like AMC Theaters,

385
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:04.720
Regal Sin they offer thirty discount for seniors who are

386
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:09.880
sixty plus. Kindle ebooks, I guess through ARP you get

387
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.119
a discount. Well, through ARP obviously get lots of discounts.

388
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:13.279
I didn't find that one.

389
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.359
Yeah, said kindle ebooks, ARP members say fifty percent off.

390
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.960
So you might need to do if you're a member

391
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.680
of ARP is go on the website and get the

392
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.519
full list of all the discounts you're eligible for, because

393
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:27.960
I think you know, and they keep I'm sure they

394
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.160
keep adding more and tweaking some and whatever. So I

395
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.000
would suggest, if you're a member of ourp go on

396
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.759
the website and just check. And then it's gonna ask, oh,

397
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.200
since I mentioned ARP little trivia, do you know what

398
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.039
ARP stands for?

399
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.039
Annoying associations reaping personal information?

400
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:56.359
That's very close. American Association of Retired Persons not even close. Okay, okay.

401
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.400
Ticketmasters seniors sixty five and older enjoy reduced prices on tickets,

402
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:06.759
discounts a very per ticket. There's some museums US museums

403
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.759
again for fifty plus. And then I know in here

404
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.279
in San Francisco, a lot of museums will say, hey,

405
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.720
the first Wednesday of the month, or you know, they'll

406
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.160
advertise that a certain day of the month is going

407
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:17.799
to be free.

408
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.079
For everyone, right.

409
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.440
Right, So that that's another good, you know, good thing

410
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.240
to look for. One nice thing about certain venues here

411
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.039
in San Francisco, Like within Golden Gate Park there's the

412
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:33.519
Japanese Tea Garden and the Arboretum. Both charge entrance to

413
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.680
get in there, but if you are a San Francisco resident,

414
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.519
you just show proof of residency and you get in

415
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.240
for free. So you know, look at the parks and

416
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.559
other venues that may offer a local discount, you know,

417
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.759
or free for locals. You probably just need to show

418
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.640
your driver's license or something with your home address on

419
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.160
it to show proof. So there's another tip. National Park

420
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:03.119
Service Senior Pass for age six to and older offers

421
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.480
access to over two thousand federal recreation sites. Well with

422
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.160
the latest news, who knows how many of those one

423
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:13.000
may open, but it says, fun fact, this pass pays

424
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.759
for itself after you visited two or three parks, so

425
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.359
you can buy senior pass if you are at that

426
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.920
point where you want to go visit different National parks,

427
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.720
look into that, buy a senior pass and they say,

428
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.880
you know, after three, two or three visits to different parks,

429
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.240
it pretty much covers the costs.

430
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.880
So yeah, we probably should look into that very quickly. Actually, yeah,

431
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.799
you want to take exactly that, right, And.

432
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.319
Then of course I always look I recently spoke to

433
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.440
my insurance company that handles both my homeowner insurance and

434
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:52.799
my auto insurance because sometimes, like in my case, they

435
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.960
say for the auto, if you take an online class

436
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.599
through them, you're eligible for like a five percent discount

437
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.000
on your annual rate. Right, So there's ways to augment

438
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.000
what the total policy amount is for the year, and

439
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:14.519
it could be that for driving I think in I

440
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.000
think in my home one, we looked at the policy

441
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.839
and what my deductible was, so I raised my deductible

442
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:24.279
and then that brought my insurance down by like one

443
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:29.039
hundred and forty dollars for the year. Oh right, So

444
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.000
look at your policy. Talk to your insurance company. It's like, hey,

445
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:35.680
I'm sixty two or whatever age you are, to see

446
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.039
what options are to bring that down.

447
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.359
Does your driving record have anything to do with because

448
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.759
I know we're both knock on wood good drivers and

449
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.240
haven't had any accidents or anything that could play factor.

450
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:47.920
You know. When I talked to her, she pulled up

451
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.160
my profile and said, hey, we show you as averaging

452
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.480
fifteen thousand miles per year. I said, well, that is

453
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:58.000
much lower now because as of October of twenty twenty four,

454
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.000
I'm working from home, so I'm no longer commuting across

455
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.839
the Golden Gay Bridge, you know, several days a week.

456
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.759
So she asked me, well, guestimate what your annual mileages now,

457
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.599
and I'm gonna guess like five thousand instead of fifteen thousand,

458
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.960
and guests like five thousand. Yeah, so that that could help.

459
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:20.880
And then like I said, taking the class, Yeah, so

460
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.440
tying into that and about you having to make the

461
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:31.000
effort to call them your phone company, your your mobile company,

462
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:34.759
your cable company, because you may have signed up with

463
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.279
them ten years ago and you've got the same plan,

464
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.279
right and the rate keeps keeps going up and up

465
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.720
and up. But they're always introducing different plans, they're reworking things,

466
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.880
they're tweaking them, they're adding promotions. So that's another good

467
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.079
opportunity to figure out, you know, where you can you

468
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:55.200
have to do the homework and contact them, press them,

469
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.440
because you can say, well then i'll just dump you

470
00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:59.960
and go to your competitor, right, no, no, and then

471
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.720
I'll try and keep you for whatever. So there are

472
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.319
things you can do. You might be a little need

473
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.160
to be a little manipulative, but but.

474
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.759
You just got to have a little hootspa in those

475
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.200
conversations because anytime you call a cable company said, you

476
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.319
know what, this is way too much And it's kind

477
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:15.039
of it is like those those bills keep going up

478
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.839
if you just don't pay attention to they go up

479
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.839
every single every few months. And all of a sudden,

480
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.640
what you're paying one hundred and fifty dollars for you're

481
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:23.039
now paying three hundred and fifty dollars.

482
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.440
Yeah, it's crazy.

483
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:27.000
And what prompted me initially was when the pandemic hit

484
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.519
and I got my pay cut. I'm like, well, I'm

485
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.720
looking at all my monthly expenses, like where can I

486
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.559
cut back? As like in cable, for example, I don't

487
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.960
have the premium channels of HBO show. I had, you know,

488
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.920
cable with some you know, a package deal, but it

489
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:44.920
certainly wasn't anything extravagant. And since then I ended up

490
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.359
switching to I went from direct TV to YouTube TV yep,

491
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.519
and it cut my bill from like I want to say,

492
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:59.240
one hundred and fifty to like seventy, so basically half.

493
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.839
Yeah, YouTube is our friend.

494
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.559
By the way, if you'd like to watch us on YouTube,

495
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.200
you can see PI five for pod Don and Gary

496
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:05.960
doing sixty.

497
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.279
No but you no, you're absolutely right, Gary.

498
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:10.920
I mean yeah, It's funny though, because as we get older,

499
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.519
you know, like a lot of our people might not.

500
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.680
Think to do these things right.

501
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.039
You know, it's like you've got to be conscientious like

502
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.960
you are, and to delve into this because if we don't,

503
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:22.599
you know, if we just think it's the status quo,

504
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.400
we kind of suffer for it, right, And if you

505
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.039
don't ask, you're never going to find out.

506
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.599
Right exactly. Yeah, So it's kind of like a friend

507
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.160
of mine has given me advice that you know, you

508
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.839
have to be your own critic. But like, if you're

509
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:39.079
a meeting with your doctor, you should go in there

510
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:43.240
with questions, right, as opposed to, Yeah, some time my

511
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.279
annual VISI I'll just come and you tell me what's

512
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.880
good and what's not, and I'll just walk away. But

513
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:53.519
it's like you should have questions and like about maybe

514
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.559
what medications you're on or what things you could change.

515
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.200
I mean, so you have to do the work speaking.

516
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.400
Of, because one of the things I did ask my

517
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.720
doctors I don't want surprises. So for example, you know,

518
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.079
certain diseases are quite prevalent in that as people get older, too,

519
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.960
like pancreator cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer. I've heard a

520
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.519
lot of people, and I don't mean to go down

521
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.880
down a downy Debbie Downer road button. It's also lung

522
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.799
cancer for people who never smoked, right, and some people

523
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.960
that actually have contracted as lung cancer. It's like you

524
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.880
have to ask these questions, like doctor, what are my chances?

525
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.079
And the biggest question I had was what tests are

526
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.960
available to see if there are markers for any of

527
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.799
those things.

528
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.920
There's a litany of things.

529
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.519
But you're right, you have to back to your point,

530
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.160
is you have to ask questions.

531
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.240
Yeah, it's again doing the work. And to your point,

532
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.160
I think it's a matter of knowing your family history. Yes, right,

533
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.799
So if your parents or your grandparents or uncle's aunts

534
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.519
someone else had one of those things you mentioned lung cancer, whatever,

535
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.359
it's good to bring that up. And as you say,

536
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.640
what could I do or what what tests can I

537
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.240
take or what exam can I have done to make sure?

538
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:07.759
I don't know if you saw on social media a

539
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.359
friend that we know from high school is going through

540
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:16.519
the process of you said, would you say do a marker?

541
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.759
Is there any markers that you There are certain tests

542
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.559
you can take that will show markers for proclivities towards

543
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.359
but like you say, it's mostly towards family history.

544
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:31.200
Right, So this person is looking at the going through

545
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.680
process to see if there's any markers for them potentially

546
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:38.039
having Alzheimer's, yes, because of family history.

547
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:38.559
Right.

548
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:44.119
So it's again it's just it's it's being proactive and

549
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:47.440
and taking care of yourself and in all these different

550
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.599
aspects with health, financewers, all of that.

551
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.960
It's it's not a fun thing to do, but it

552
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.640
actually I think you probably feel better as I did,

553
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.599
and probably you did after you go through.

554
00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:59.640
These things like okay, check check check.

555
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.440
These are you know, you don't think about, but if

556
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.200
you make a list about them, saying you know what,

557
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.400
this is something I need to look into. You have

558
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:09.960
to be your own financial advisor, your own medical practitioner

559
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.039
by asking questions. So you have to be a little

560
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:15.519
bit more of a detective with your life.

561
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.880
Yeah, yeah, be detective and be proactive and do the

562
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.000
work so that if something should happen, it's not a surprise,

563
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.119
as you mentioned. And also it's I mean, nobody wants

564
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.039
to be a burden on someone else. But if something

565
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.079
happens that we're all unexpected, you know, no one knew

566
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.799
was coming, it throws a wrench because now you have

567
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.240
to maybe rely on a family member to help you

568
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.799
with this or whatever, whether it's an illness. I mean,

569
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:43.160
the things like I told you. We talked about how

570
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.559
I we're both working on our updating our living trust.

571
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:49.960
I finally the other day sent all my edits to

572
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.559
the lawyer to like, here we go, you know, And

573
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.519
it was a relief to get that off my to

574
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.039
do list.

575
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.519
Yes, and isn't it great to just like, Okay, I

576
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.400
did it, file it away. Don't have to worry about that.

577
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.279
I'm not the least amount of things we need to

578
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.440
worry about as we get older, are It's important to

579
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:07.519
have that thing.

580
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:09.920
And that one was on my list for years and

581
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.319
I don't know why I dragged my feet. It was like, oh,

582
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:14.400
I'm so busy, and you know, I'll get to it.

583
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.400
I'll get to it. And beginning of this year, I

584
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.960
pulled out all the paper. I said, you know, what

585
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:23.440
do it now? Took care of that. We mentioned I'm

586
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.200
sure you maybe have done the same thing about burial

587
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.559
and and.

588
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:31.440
Yeah, definitely different.

589
00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:34.160
Your story was different because you had made a decision.

590
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.559
You're going to be bunking with your mom, aren't you.

591
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:40.319
Yes, I'm I'm subleasing for mom. So you know she

592
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:42.880
always wanted me to live at home. So guess what, Mommy,

593
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:50.359
Eventually I'm coming back, Let's see what else I think

594
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.279
we talked about this. I'm going back to our main

595
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.920
topic of discount senior discounts restaurants. You know sometimes it

596
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.440
don't you know? Blue Light special senior discount. What's the

597
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:02.000
one that the Denny's or the Ie Hop one of them?

598
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.599
Denny's with this they have a moon over My Hammy

599
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:06.400
and a superbird and I think they do have a

600
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:07.839
happy hour for seniors.

601
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:09.640
It's not on my repeat that again.

602
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:15.200
It's the moon over moon over my Hammy, my hamm.

603
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.279
It's basically a ham and cheese sandwich, a grilled ham

604
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.160
and cheese sandwich.

605
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.000
What and the waitress moons you or what is that?

606
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.759
Oh, it's a euphemism for a sandwich.

607
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:34.920
You and your French words, right, So restaurants offer senior discounts.

608
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.319
The ones I listed including Denny's, I Hop, McDonald's, Burger King,

609
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:39.160
Wendy's Subway.

610
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.119
And you'll notice when you drive by one of those

611
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.880
places at certain hours of the day, they are packed

612
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.240
with a bunch of us. Yeah, because they're all shuffling

613
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:48.200
in to get.

614
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.720
The happy hour whatever it is they have there.

615
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.599
Although I will say that the ones listed here are

616
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:55.799
fast foods I tend to not well.

617
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.400
I've got a couple of her two and I think

618
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.000
you know, some of them we looked at like they

619
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.119
were I got my list here, and it's not the

620
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:04.880
most appetizing Applebee's, RB's.

621
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.880
Ben and Jerry's, Burger King, Chick fil A.

622
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.720
I mean some of these places we would never go to,

623
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.799
right Denny's that you said that when AA members get

624
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.000
actually twenty percent off and with the regular people just

625
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.480
get ten.

626
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.839
So okay, just definitely dunkin Donuts.

627
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.759
I mean, I hop Wendy's white Castle, like there's not

628
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.680
even a white castle here.

629
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:28.240
But can I add.

630
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.279
I'm not gonna say all of them sound you know, fabulous,

631
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.720
but my what's my what's my doctor? The what's your title?

632
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:40.240
The nutritionist? And the worst huh endocnologists?

633
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:43.119
Yes, thank you. I can hear that my ender chronologists

634
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.920
would frown on those, Yes, I and I would do.

635
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.319
You know, I don't know about you, but I didn't

636
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.839
grow up on fast food. I mean it was a

637
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.519
treat here and there and once a while, do you

638
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.200
get a craving and I will go to a you know,

639
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.400
burger and fries and shake and the whole thing. But

640
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:57.160
it's very rare.

641
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.400
But about Lazy Dog, do they have any burgers that

642
00:32:59.400 --> 00:32:59.920
you would go to.

643
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.960
They've got a good mix of stuff, so I'm sure

644
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.880
they have a burger. I will tell you. I had

645
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.559
a really fabulous smash burger.

646
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.839
I saw you say that.

647
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.400
Yes, yeah, it's a place. And I think that's a

648
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.359
chain too. I think it's called Smish Smash. I think

649
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:19.880
it's the name of it.

650
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:21.240
Uh.

651
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.480
And it's where they open up an Ikea on Market Street,

652
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:31.039
mid Market around by Fifth Street, and right next door

653
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.920
is a food hall that's connected to Ikea, and it's

654
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:39.000
called Salu Hall s A l U h a U l.

655
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.920
There's two levels and they've got you know, bars and

656
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.119
assorted food vendors there. And the one that just opened

657
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.880
is Smash Smash. So I went there last week and

658
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:50.000
oh my god, it was messy, but it was.

659
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:53.440
This is kind of a trending food right now.

660
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.519
Smash Burgers are smashed burgers because basically they're taking a

661
00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.279
ball of burger and smashing it.

662
00:33:59.200 --> 00:33:59.799
And killing it.

663
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.839
Isn't that kind of thing? Well I can do that, yeah,

664
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.160
I mean it's still in a burgie. You can do

665
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.279
that single patty of double Patty. They're not cheap, but man,

666
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.559
they're good. Yeah, I cut you off. I'm sorry, you're

667
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:10.719
gonna no, that's okay.

668
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.239
It's okay. We're talking about smash burgers. I'm right a

669
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:14.280
good burger in a while.

670
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.000
But I wanted to throw a couple of weird ones

671
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.400
out there that I saw. Sure, you can get a

672
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.639
discount on installing a walk in tub, just so you know,

673
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:23.960
yea yea yea yes, so you can actually because you

674
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:27.079
know some people have the like stepping over the tub

675
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:29.119
to get into the show. If you have a bathtub,

676
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.880
that's interesting. Installing a home alarm system, you can get discounts.

677
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:34.760
Okay, I didn't know about that one.

678
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.559
Most of the other ones you had talked about, some

679
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.719
of the financial medical assistance programs.

680
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.679
Taylor to seniors, there are some things that you can actually.

681
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.480
Look for that actually will provide you some discounts when

682
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.960
you're looking for assistant programs.

683
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.920
If you if you have that need.

684
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:54.760
Good Will offers seniors ten to discount on there, and

685
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:56.320
Cole's offers fifty percent on.

686
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:57.639
Seniors who are sixty and over.

687
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.960
Believe it, and I'm not sure these are accurate, but

688
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.280
one says Banana Republic, and Rite aid that would be.

689
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.159
I had write it on my list at we'll range.

690
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.440
Okay, And then you had mentioned Jim's right, some like

691
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.559
Balley Fitness Apparents.

692
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:14.079
I didn't mention Jim's. But I'm sure that's an option. Again,

693
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.639
it's probably they may not advertise it, but it could

694
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:18.280
nerve to ask.

695
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:22.039
Back to your original point, Yes, you can ask, like, listen,

696
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.920
I'm sixty two, or you could say you're sixty two.

697
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.760
Yeah, Garry's sixty two.

698
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.599
Don's friend Gary is sixty two.

699
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:33.119
I hear people who are sixty two get a discount here.

700
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.280
Right, and you here asking for a friend.

701
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.079
So yeah, I mean, I think it goes back to

702
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:38.800
just asking.

703
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:40.920
And you know, it's funny I told you that story

704
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.039
real quickly that you know, our friend Steve took us

705
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:46.079
to its Sizzler and there's something at Sissler. We can

706
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:48.960
get that because it's like, hey, don we get the

707
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.519
senior disc guy said, well, no, you get the senior discount.

708
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.599
I'm gonna sit over here and with my dark glasses

709
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:55.599
in a turban and pretend like you didn't say that

710
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.639
to me, right, But you do get a discount.

711
00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:58.079
A Sizzler.

712
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.199
Gosh, I don't know if there's any Sizzlers around here,

713
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.400
not to check.

714
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:05.159
Yeah, well, anyway, sorry.

715
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.079
Any other discounts that you're aware of, because that I

716
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.480
have this.

717
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.400
Great story, there's a bunch I would check on the

718
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:11.920
accuracy of some of these lists because I sure maybe

719
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:13.920
and things will be changing in the world, Like you

720
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:17.480
mentioned national parks and right, we don't know the future

721
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.800
of those two, but why not why not take advantage

722
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.400
of those.

723
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:23.440
And you know, and we talk about one of the

724
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.519
discounts was on movie theaters, but sadly they're not as

725
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:27.880
popular as they used to be because a lot of

726
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.480
everything you can stream at home at your convenience, you know,

727
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.840
watch when you want. I depending on what it is.

728
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:36.480
I kind of enjoy going to the movie because you

729
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.360
wanted certain things you want to see on the big screen.

730
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:40.880
Yeah, but don't I mean, I missed the experience of

731
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:43.039
that because I remember when the Sun Dance had their

732
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.719
theaters in San Francisco on film More. That was such

733
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.199
a fun experience you could get you had a great seat.

734
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.559
And then the cinema cinemak I think those I forget,

735
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.639
they were like the better ones where you can actually

736
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:56.000
have a glass of wine on your way to the theater.

737
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.239
It's like, I want to bring that back. I think

738
00:36:58.280 --> 00:36:58.840
they're trying to.

739
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:04.000
There is one the I think Alamo something. It's in

740
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.159
the Mission District of San Francisco on Mission Street where

741
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.760
it was in the old days it was a movie theater.

742
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:15.880
So they've renovated it and you can be in your

743
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.039
seat and order food and they'll bring it to you.

744
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:20.320
And there's a little tables so you can have food

745
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.440
and wine and whatever. I've not been there yet. Oh

746
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.960
that sounds but they offer I mean the movies they

747
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:26.679
show are the ones that are out there now, the

748
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.119
popular one, so it's not like an art house. Nice,

749
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:33.320
but I've yet to go there. Speaking of movies seeing

750
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.719
them in theaters. This past Saturday, I did go for

751
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.800
my very first time to the Roxy Theater in the

752
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:42.280
Mission District of San Francisco.

753
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.639
It's on sixteenth Don't they have a big knee on

754
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:45.679
sign over the top of it.

755
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:46.360
This is yes?

756
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:47.800
Okay? What was that like?

757
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:51.320
It was? It was nice. It's an old theater. But

758
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.920
and I passed, walked and driven past it many many

759
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.360
times over the years. But this was a Saturday night

760
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.639
in the mission out with friends, we went to go

761
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:04.039
see a documentary on Liza Minelli.

762
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.800
Okay, how was that?

763
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:07.039
Was that?

764
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:07.519
Amazing?

765
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.679
It was good. It's what was called I will tell

766
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:18.320
you in a minute. Liza a truly terrific, absolutely true story.

767
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.079
And she is.

768
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:26.559
Seventy eight years old, I believe, so interviewed her several

769
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:30.119
of the people in the business, showed a lot of

770
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.719
like co movies and just talked about her career. They

771
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.880
they briefly, like in like thirty seconds, covered all her

772
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.920
husbands because that's not something she really wants to talk about.

773
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.639
I don't think i'd talk about it either.

774
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.760
Right, She's had I think four husbands, how many were gay?

775
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:57.559
Three of which were? But anyway, it was it was

776
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.800
well done. It was very sweet. And then after which

777
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.880
went out to dinner. So that was a fun experience.

778
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:06.039
I'd not been at a movie theater at night on

779
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:09.599
a weekend with you know. It was almost packed, which

780
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:12.079
was nice. And then went across the street to have

781
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.360
dinner and then that was packed. So it's nice that

782
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:18.719
people are out because I just don't do that anymore.

783
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.639
Yeah, well, I mean I get it's dinner in a show.

784
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.719
I mean that sounds like a kind of a fun thing.

785
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.599
But honestly, it's like the theaters around here, the ones

786
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:27.880
that I used to like to go to, like the

787
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.320
bougie ones, they're never around anymore.

788
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.719
So it's not, yeah, the same experience.

789
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:36.480
Or I've gone because, especially coming out of the pandemic,

790
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:37.880
I didn't want to be in a crowded room with

791
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:39.920
a bunch of people. So I would go on a

792
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:44.159
weekday like eleven am, as opposed to Friday night at

793
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:48.320
eight pm, right, And if I went on the off hours,

794
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.920
it was like me and two other people in the

795
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.199
whole theater, and that's kind of sad.

796
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.920
Yeah, but also can we stay awake past eight pm?

797
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.760
That's the good question. Yeah, that's true. So yeah, I

798
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:03.039
referenced in the beginning that there was an article I saw.

799
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:09.000
It's from an online platform called nice News, which I

800
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.199
love that. So the title is these old ladies dive

801
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:21.000
into Massachusetts ponds come up bearing pounds of garbage. So

802
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:23.440
this is a group of I don't know how many

803
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:28.639
ladies that they all live in Massachusetts. And it says

804
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.719
the founder is eighty five years old.

805
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.199
Really okay, she's.

806
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.079
Been swimming in ponds for the better part of two decades,

807
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:42.360
and they did a story on these people, these ladies,

808
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:46.679
she says, on any given day, you may be able

809
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.840
to spot a crew of mostly silver haired women donning wetsuits,

810
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:55.920
diving in and emerging trash in hand. The group is

811
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:00.920
called the Old Ladies against Underwater Garbage, and they're on

812
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.840
a mission to preserve the Peninsula's aquatic ecosystems. It's again,

813
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.599
this is in Massachusetts, so she says it happened by accident.

814
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:15.039
She and the group's first members began diving for garbage

815
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.280
around twenty eighteen, then expanded their efforts. I think they

816
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.719
just want to, you know, do their part two, you know,

817
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.079
to do with the cold. If it's if you're in

818
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:27.719
a park, everything's above ground or maybe in bushes, right,

819
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:31.079
but it's accessible. When it's underwater, you don't know what's

820
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.000
under there, right, And because they like to swim and dive,

821
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.079
that's they just said us do that. So they expanded

822
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.480
their efforts during the pandemic when the only options for

823
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.880
socializing were outdoor gatherings. And when I realized that it

824
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:48.599
wasn't about the garbage, it's it's about that we have

825
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:52.400
discovered a way of repairing the planet, not based on guilt,

826
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.920
not based on common sense, not based on fear, but

827
00:41:56.039 --> 00:42:00.320
based on joy. Hell, we've got something terrific. So there's

828
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:03.440
thirty members in this group with a weight list that

829
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:07.920
goes on forever. And the group comprises of women ages

830
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.400
sixty four and older. And this is what they do.

831
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.559
They dive for garbage. They said. Over the years they've

832
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:19.320
removed tires, golf balls, cell phones, countless beverage cans, and

833
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:20.320
even a toilet.

834
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.159
So they got it up out of the where.

835
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:27.440
Well, you know, as a group they would I don't know,

836
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:31.320
you know, they would a toilet. They didn't explain how

837
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:34.400
they got the toilet out. Maybe that took some machinery

838
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:38.159
of some type, who knows. Okay, but you never know

839
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:38.960
what you're going to find.

840
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:41.000
Now, I feel like we got to get it together

841
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:42.159
and form our own group.

842
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:44.679
Yeah, but I can't hold my breath that long, so.

843
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:46.480
I'm not going diving to pull up a toilet.

844
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:48.679
Well, think of what it will do to your hair.

845
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.000
Well, see what's working out right anyway? Sorry? Yeah, so

846
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:55.039
that's very admirable.

847
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.400
Yeah, So that that winds up what I had on

848
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:01.079
discount that old ladies.

849
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:04.039
And you.

850
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.400
I mean you tapped into everything that I found out

851
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.559
except for the walk in tubs.

852
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:09.840
So I think we're good.

853
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:11.000
Nice.

854
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:13.599
Yes, So again, we have to think about what we're

855
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:15.920
going to do in our sunset years when we want

856
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.280
to help the planet and do something admirable.

857
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:20.119
I'm not wearing a wet suit.

858
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.280
I'm not going that's going to say, let's go shopping

859
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:22.920
for wetsuits.

860
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.880
Okay, Well, on that note, should we close it down?

861
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.760
Let's close down because I've got a show to go to.

862
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.880
Where are you gonna go see tonight? I'm gonna go

863
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:36.840
see the musical Chicago, really, yes, playing at the Geary Theater?

864
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:38.679
Is it the part of your series?

865
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:41.760
I didn't buy the whole season. I just bought two

866
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.119
shows because i'd the other ones. I didn't really you know,

867
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:48.320
anything really jumped at me. Okay, but boys, the other

868
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.519
one I saw whatever that one was. And then Chicago.

869
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.400
So you think any free socks for this one?

870
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.320
No? Because I didn't buy the season. No free socks?

871
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:55.840
Okay?

872
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.960
Well, well, I got dogs ready to go outside, and

873
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.320
of course, of course it's Wednesday and the garbage man's

874
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:03.199
driving by, so why would it be like any other one?

875
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:04.840
Well, then timing is everything. Let's shut it down.
