Season 2
Welcome to our favorite segment, “Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That,” featuring the fabulous Fabiola Levati-Woo! Fabby and Don go way back to the '90s, and through the years of friendship, family, and change, they’ve both learned a thing or two about growing older with grace (and a good laugh). In this heartfelt and humorous episode, we dive into the beauty of aging, the resilience it builds, and the hope it brings. Fabby opens up about marriage, raising three kids, and staying grounded amidst life’s chaos. Together, we explore what it means to thrive in your 50s, 60s, 70s—and beyond. Whether you’re rediscovering old passions, chasing new dreams, or just trying to keep up with the ever-changing ride of life, this conversation is your reminder that every chapter matters. Tune in for stories, laughs, and a whole lot of inspiration. Because no matter your age, you’ve DO GOT TIME FOR joy, growth, and maybe even a little "Whoop-Whoop" VISIT OUR NEW WEBSITE HOSTED BY PODPAGE https://www.podpage.com/don-gary-doin...

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:06.919
Here comes someone.

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.160
Well, well, well so you're still half face. We're editing this,

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:17.280
so you're this, so just go a little bit more

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.879
to the that way. Okay, that's good, but we still

5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.519
got Gary. You can see half her face.

6
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.679
Right, yeah, we can't see your left eye see this there?

7
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:27.039
All right?

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:27.879
Yes?

9
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.399
Perfect? Yes, don't move y.

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.799
We pop it up in something.

11
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.320
Or I can check a little bit too. Yes, that's perfect.

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:45.119
Hi.

13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:50.560
Maybe you'll mess it up.

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:51.359
No, Hi.

15
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.359
Hi, Good morning, don Good morning Gary.

16
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:57.920
How are you?

17
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.000
I'm good? How are you?

18
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.439
I'm good. Had a dinner party last night and there

19
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.239
was lots of wine flowing, so I'm going to be

20
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.439
whining about the wine.

21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.959
And did you have any wine?

22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.799
Tried a thimbleful or twelve or twenty so yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.560
So it was a really good time. It was really nice.

24
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.239
Had a great day.

25
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.439
The weather's wonderful here, the front yard is finished. It's

26
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:20.680
all good. Life is good.

27
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.359
Oh good, nice, Oh good. It's been a good weekend.

28
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.040
I had a nice gathering last night with a bunch

29
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.519
of friends from our high school. We were twelve people

30
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.799
and we dined for sushi at a downtown restaurant in

31
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.519
San Mateo, which coincidentally the owner and chef also went

32
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.200
to our high school.

33
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.959
His name is Victor Onizuka. Oh gosh, I remember it

34
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.920
was the year ahead of us. So the restaurant is Toky's.

35
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.239
It's been around forever. Used to be in Foster City,

36
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.120
but for many years now it's been in.

37
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.200
Downtown San Mateo.

38
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.120
So what started out is the people saying, hey, a

39
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.079
few of us should get together for dinner.

40
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.200
But it was nice. We had a nice dinner. You know,

41
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.640
they're super really good food.

42
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.040
And then afterwards, one of our friends has an icler

43
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.239
home up in the hills, so we all converge on

44
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.159
his house with dessert and hang out.

45
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.120
There for a couple hours. So it was nice. Yeah,

46
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.159
it was a nice little gathering.

47
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.960
What are we talking about this week?

48
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:22.080
Well, today we have another guest under the umbrella.

49
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.680
Now I didn't know this until she fessed up that.

50
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.280
She's not quite sixty. Yeah, but you know what, she'll

51
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.479
be there. She'll get there. So she's coming a little

52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.360
earlier to the party. But it's someone you've known longer

53
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.560
than I have because she need two work together, right,

54
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.439
So we'll go into that.

55
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.439
So do that and then just kind of catch up.

56
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.840
I do have a funny little story I want to

57
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.840
share with you as we do, or I can wait

58
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:48.080
until after our intro.

59
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.800
Whatever you want, just just make sure we get it

60
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:51.599
in under the wire.

61
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.560
Well, I'll tell you what. Let's start with We're done

or you're.

83

Oh yeah, no, it's a it's a quick and funny story.

84
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.000
I was at breakfast yesterday by myself, so you can't

85
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.920
help but hear other people's conversations at tables nearby.

86
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.839
Right, I'm not an eavesdropper and I don't like to gossip,

87
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.240
you know, but here's what I heard.

88
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.560
So there's a three ladies sitting at the table behind

89
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.680
me who were Latinas young Latinas. So I love is

90
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.720
because this happens in my household too, with my mom,

91
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:53.399
is that the Spanglish comes out. And yeah, So there

92
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.920
was just one little segment that caught my attention because

93
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.040
they were talking about someone I don't know who, but

94
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.160
they said, oh, she's young, and the other one says, girl,

95
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:03.439
she's almost thirty.

96
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.800
Implying that, you know, wasn't that that young?

97
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.680
And I'm like, hey, I was going to tund like

98
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.959
sixty two, but that was just so fun and he's like, well,

99
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.240
you know, yeah, she's no, she's young.

100
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.560
So her conversation was in Spanish, and part of the

101
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.040
part that it was the English she's almost.

102
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.560
I mean, this little part was I mean, that was

103
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.959
just what they say was girls, she's almost thirty, Like.

104
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:25.839
You know, what are you talking about?

105
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:26.360
She's young?

106
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.600
Okay, I thought that was cute. I want to see

107
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:31.040
observe it.

108
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:31.319
You are.

109
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.519
It's just something new about this today.

110
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.639
I'm going to say it's your backdrop.

111
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:45.560
Yes, yes, So, because as we know I've mentioned several times,

112
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.680
is that I work out of my home and we

113
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.399
closed her office.

114
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.360
We didn't renew the lease.

115
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.000
We didn't want to, which is fine, you know, save money,

116
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.680
save gas, all that. But I have a lot of

117
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.439
samples and things that had to bring with me because

118
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.959
I send stuff out to clients in our sales reps.

119
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.360
So I have a one bedroom condo, so I don't

120
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.800
have a lot of space. So behind me were like

121
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.680
stacks of plastic bins with samples of vinyls and metal

122
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.000
samples and stuff like that. And I would always see

123
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.480
it in the back, so i'd like cover it with

124
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.240
a tablecloth or something. And because this is not on zoom,

125
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.959
I can't blur out my background, right, and so you know,

126
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.720
what you see is what you see. So I thought

127
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.920
I need to get one of those Japanese shoji screens,

128
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.040
the three or four panel blackwood with a white rice paper.

129
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.439
That would be fancy, right, But they're expensive. I bought this.

130
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.720
I'm showing three panels now, but it's actually four panels.

131
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:44.439
I can maneuver them, so it's just black fabric panels.

132
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.600
But Target fifty bucks.

133
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.079
Okay.

134
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.120
Look, and I was, you know, I was a fan

135
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.079
of Target, but since the recent changes where they eliminated DEI,

136
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.199
I'm like, I'm one.

137
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.319
Of those people that I'm doing my best to avoid.

138
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.920
Them are trying to do that.

139
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.560
But you know, I don't want to get political.

140
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.879
But you know I needed a scream, so I was

141
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.240
weak and I ordered it online.

142
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.680
Well you look like a professional. That's good. That's a

143
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.759
nice change as opposed to Hull. Now you don't show

144
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.399
us your Humble collection or your Christmas tree in back behind.

145
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.600
My Christmas tree is to my left. I can't put

146
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.040
that away.

147
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.199
Yeah, So just to give the audience just a little

148
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.240
bit of information, when Fabiola joins us for our segment,

149
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.199
she might be having to do a little bit of

150
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.759
adjusting with her angles because I'm not sure exactly where

151
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.399
she's going to do this, and I had to kind

152
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:40.920
of coach he a little bit, so she wasn't like

153
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.040
this throughout the recording.

154
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.600
Off off camera, off well half of centers.

155
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.519
Like this the whole time, so we might have to

156
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.759
either take a break or we can do it. Let's

157
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.439
we'll do it and not stop recording when she joins

158
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.519
us to see how comical this is.

159
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.560
It'll be a real behind the scenes look at how

160
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.079
a pod cast is put together.

161
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.000
Yes, yes, it is. That'll be one thing to do.

162
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.720
It's your flaws and all or excuse me, our flaws

163
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:08.399
and all.

164
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.600
Or your wards in all.

165
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.040
Opay, it's still showing.

166
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.319
No, not anymore.

167
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.079
But what else more bathrooms to repair?

168
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.800
No, I'm not spending any more money on any more houses.

169
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:23.800
I am done.

170
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.360
We just got Wait, well here's a problem. You keep

171
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.079
buying them, so stop buying houses.

172
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.000
I do what I have to do. It's I'm just

173
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.399
looking forward to spring. I don't want it to be

174
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.720
cold anymore.

175
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.799
And any ventures to pump springs in the near future.

176
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.960
Actually, yes, next week we are going to go see

177
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.240
Dion Warwick at the request of our friend Chris for

178
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.519
his birthday. He wanted okay, miss Cleo, I mean Deon

179
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.480
Warwick sewerd thing, so we'll see. I mean, I'm not

180
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.360
even sure how old she is anymore or is now,

181
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.759
so it's interesting to see.

182
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.919
She's gonna be here in Oakland appearing. I saw here

183
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:02.879
years ago, did you? It was in person, and her son,

184
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.440
who I didn't know, sang appeared with her, and so

185
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.679
she did some solos and they did some duets. But

186
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.639
even back then, this was several years ago.

187
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.799
You know, she's she's older. She's got probably in her eighties.

188
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.159
I'm going to look it up in a second.

189
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.600
Yeah, but she you know, the voice is not what

190
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.240
he used to be. So the duet with her son helped,

191
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.519
and I think he was kind of carrying the doing

192
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.399
the heavy lifting. So I was a little I was

193
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.320
at surprised to see that she's touring again. And I'm

194
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.279
sure it's not a big tour, did it say? Is

195
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.440
she appearing with anyone else?

196
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.799
I don't know because I didn't buy the tickets, but

197
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.320
we did last night at dinner, pull up a couple

198
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.279
of her because I remember having her and this is

199
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.279
really going to date me having some of her albums

200
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.000
on cassette. Yeah, that's what friends are for. There's a

201
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.840
whole bunch of she said, right, But you know, I

202
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.559
was trying to remind my friends, like she had a

203
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.120
huge career before the eighties, you know resurgence that she

204
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.279
had with Burt Bacharak right, Oh, yeah, he did a

205
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.600
lot of music and she was very popular and I

206
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.720
remember like walk on By and those.

207
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.080
Are like the late sixties ish, And then she had

208
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.200
per resurgence with That's what friends are for, yeah, that one.

209
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.720
And then she had a couple albums, won a bunch

210
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.879
of Grammys. She is eighty four years old, right.

211
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.600
Eighty four? Well, you know what what I'm eighty four.

212
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.039
I hope I'm singing at a casino too. I might

213
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.200
be singing by the jackpots or by.

214
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.759
The slot machines, slot machines, thank you.

215
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.159
Yeah, I'll be eighty four by a slot machine, singing

216
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.279
with a cigarette. That's what friends are for.

217
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:31.039
Yeah.

218
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.960
So I guess we're gonna just tread water until she

219
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.519
shows up.

220
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.399
I was ever good at that in school. I'd hang

221
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.200
near the edge and you know, have one hand on

222
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.200
the paddle.

223
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.240
So she's late now officially, so she doesn't get paid

224
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.320
for appearances like we what we usually.

225
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:58.159
Do, so and that time is money, honey. February, Hi,

226
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.200
how are you.

227
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.240
I'm doing well.

228
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.919
So I'm trying to figure out how how long ago

229
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.919
that I've seen you.

230
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.080
Pre covid, for sure, pre covid.

231
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.519
Because I popped in a couple of times when you

232
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.240
guys had this store. But that was how many years

233
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.399
ago in San Mateo? And Don was the last time

234
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.879
you saw Fabiola in personally?

235
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.440
I don't think we've seen each other in a long time.

236
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.639
I know we've texted a couple of times back and forth.

237
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.080
Your daughter was in Los Angeles, I think, and you'd

238
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.679
asked me about whether she was staying in a bad neighborhood. Yeah,

239
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.399
my daughter, Yeah, it's a bad place to stay.

240
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.480
Like so let's take people back. So the two of

241
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.320
you met how long ago and in what?

242
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:41.559
Under what circumstances?

243
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:43.919
I don't remember.

244
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.039
I was applying for a part time job.

245
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.960
And it was at Macy's at May Yes, up.

246
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.440
Here in the Bay area or down south.

247
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.559
We're up here in.

248
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.919
A Bay area downtown, Okay.

249
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:56.759
And so how many years ago?

250
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:57.279
Do you think?

251
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:02.840
Oh god, I mean that's got to be nine seven, Yeah,

252
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.440
I think so.

253
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.480
Oh my god, yeah, I think it's ninety seven.

254
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.480
Yeah, so only twenty twenty eight years ago, that's all.

255
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.080
And you were were you were you being hired by

256
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.279
Don or just working?

257
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:15.879
Yes?

258
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.879
At this okay.

259
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.399
Yeah, so I am responsible for the trajectory of her

260
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.639
stellar career.

261
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.919
No, it is true. No, it's no, lie, No.

262
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.240
I think we yes, yes, well, I think we had

263
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.799
a lot of fun. We were working there too, because

264
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.840
we goofed off a lot. I would go like, I

265
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.360
don't remember. Do you remember Gary, you worked in Macy's too, right.

266
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.919
I worked at the Hillsdale store in San Mateo for

267
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.840
about four years.

268
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.559
Yeah, oh I remember. Yeah, But I remember one thing

269
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.080
I would do a lot is that we had this.

270
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.279
I think we worked in like ladies career clothing or something, right, fab.

271
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.039
Yeah, yeah, well some sportswear.

272
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.960
Yeah, is that I don't know. So as a joke

273
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.120
sometimes I would literally go by to people and like

274
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.200
take a te stand and knock it over and walk by.

275
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.840
Do you remember me doing that?

276
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.080
Ever?

277
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.240
I would just like I was horrible. I was a

278
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.200
manager too, and it's like I would go by and

279
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.759
full rolling racks and stuff, just push it over and say,

280
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.600
go pick that up. I was joking. I would pick

281
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.840
it up, but it was like a joke.

282
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.840
But were you doing this in front of customers where

283
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.679
they're horrified by your actions?

284
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.559
No? When it was.

285
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.720
Okay, yeah, we would get there like six or seven

286
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.440
in the morning to the floor set.

287
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:24.200
Yeah.

288
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.440
Yeah, I don't even know how to work the next.

289
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:33.440
Day obviously hit it off because well, you're still around, Yeah, talk.

290
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:33.960
To each other.

291
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.759
There's he's still around.

292
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.639
I can't imagine. I can't believe he's still around.

293
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.720
But yeah, but I do have a couple of photos

294
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.799
that I'm going to put on the screen as I

295
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.559
edit this where we've gone out to was it Laran

296
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.480
daya over in the in the mission the mission, Yeah,

297
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.559
there were some I've got some interesting pictures of youth Fabiola,

298
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.759
believe it or not, and there's some plague. You were

299
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.080
making a nice young woman and then she's mis seeing you,

300
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.639
I think, and then.

301
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.039
I know that.

302
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.679
Yeah, there's the stories.

303
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.200
Yeah, so that was when we were much younger, back

304
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.639
in the nineties and tequila was flowing freely, usually every

305
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.559
night in college.

306
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.679
And we're still so.

307
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.519
Back to the Babuola. Thank you for joining us. We're

308
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.879
very happy and we're basically we know you're not part

309
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.120
of the sixty club. You're you're not ready yet to

310
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.279
join that one because you're not quite there yet. But

311
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.600
something we like to talk about just how people's lives

312
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.480
are going later on in life, and I'm saying yours

313
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.080
is later on. But we're you know, we're at a

314
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.480
certain age right now where a lot of things might

315
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.440
have shifted, and we wanted to talk with you about

316
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.720
that and see how your life is going, and talk

317
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.799
about and talk about how your life is going, how

318
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.120
you you have some children, you have some life events

319
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.039
that have taken place. You know, I guess one of

320
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.840
the things, Gary, if you don't mind, I'll just jump in.

321
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.200
So the biggest, one of the biggest questions I always

322
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.440
ask to the guests to come in about this. Has

323
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.000
have you in your career or even recently, received or

324
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.360
been exposed to any kind of agism on your job

325
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.039
or your skills? Has anyone ever exhibited that? And you

326
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.639
have to be specific, but have you ever had that

327
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.360
thrown at you?

328
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.360
I think for me, well, in retail, I think it were.

329
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.480
Sometimes I feel lucky that that's not as much part

330
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:18.399
of it, maybe because I moved on to wear more

331
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.840
mature woman chopped, so I don't feel that and I

332
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.000
don't see that. The other day, this lady was telling

333
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.440
me like, oh, honey, don't worry about it. You're still

334
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.759
so young, and I said, no, I'm going to be

335
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.519
willing to be fifty eight in April.

336
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.159
And she goes, oh, you're almost and she did what

337
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.200
she was eighty five, she said, so she can say

338
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:44.799
whatever she wants to. And I know I think of

339
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.440
that too, But how do you?

340
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.240
But I like kind of always wonder like I can't

341
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.600
believe that is that really happening?

342
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:59.639
Like how is that even possible? Because like the body

343
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.559
and the mind they're not together, you know. Does that

344
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.039
make sense?

345
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.159
So?

346
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.080
So does it make you think more about your age?

347
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.000
I mean, like, oh, I'm going to be like you said,

348
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.240
I'm going to be fifty eight. Does that is that

349
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.200
a concern of yours? Or is it just kind of

350
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.879
like it's just another number, It's just another year.

351
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.080
I think it's just right now, I feel like, oh,

352
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:20.080
it's just another number.

353
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.159
It's just another year.

354
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.200
Because I started so late and my kids are so

355
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:25.840
still young.

356
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.159
So it doesn't you know.

357
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.120
So that they keep you young.

358
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.879
A lot of people my age already grandmother Lord forbid

359
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:40.000
to be from right, So I'm not like where I'm

360
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.200
supposed to be, But then I am what I'm supposed

361
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:42.399
to be.

362
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.519
No, I only ask a question because there's some people

363
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.840
who are triggered by a certain age, whether it's.

364
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.559
Thirty, but I feel it in the body.

365
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.519
Yeah, huh, yeah, you go ahead and answer no.

366
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.200
I was saying that.

367
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.159
The reason I asked that question is because for some

368
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.559
people turning a certain age mate, you know, whether not

369
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.119
a monumental but an age like a thirty or forty

370
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.279
or fifty, whatever the age is, for some people, it's like, oh,

371
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.480
they feel like it's going to be a big change

372
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:14.359
or shift, and it's really on that person's individual attitude

373
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.640
and approach to it. Like for me, it's you know,

374
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.079
I sometimes I have to think about, oh I'm sixty two.

375
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.160
I don't dwell on it right. So, yeah, it's never

376
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.359
been an issue. But for others, you know, it could

377
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.079
be a touchy thing. Maybe they could go through a

378
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:32.839
depression or some other shift because it's they're thinking more

379
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.400
about where they are in their life.

380
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.400
I think.

381
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:39.400
So, I think I feel fortunate and lucky that I

382
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.640
have genes that makes me look like.

383
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.079
Not my age.

384
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.319
Yeah, because sometimes, like you know, I'll be at work

385
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.200
and can I see you ID? And they pass me

386
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:53.519
their ID and I'm like, seventy one how's that possible?

387
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.440
What happened?

388
00:17:54.920 --> 00:18:00.720
Yeah, you know you're born in seventy one, and like, okay,

389
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.799
you had a rough life.

390
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:05.119
Okay, here's so it makes you know. So sometime I

391
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:10.039
work it. It gives me clear.

392
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.519
You don't say that out loud to them, right.

393
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.720
Oh god, no, there's like a little bubble of my.

394
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.400
So I think that's yeah, you know, and uh, people

395
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.720
I feel like I get they get surprised to find

396
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.720
out how old I am.

397
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.400
But some morning I wake up and I'm like, oh

398
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.880
my god, yeah that's my age.

399
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.200
So the body tells you something differently.

400
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:36.200
Oh my god.

401
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.440
Yeah. Driving to work, that's like thirty five minutes, forty

402
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.200
depending And then when I get out of the car,

403
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.960
I feel like I was sitting for.

404
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:46.119
An eight hour shift.

405
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:47.000
Oh wow.

406
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.279
And I literally I'm like nobody's watching because I'm like

407
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.799
I limp for the first forty seconds.

408
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.799
I'm literally limping for the first Like I'm like, this

409
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.279
is this is not right. I should be walking. This

410
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.039
is ridiculous.

411
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.559
Like no one's parking back, no one sees your parking

412
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:10.359
back there. Yeah, I like, just sitting forty minutes, I'm stiff.

413
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.519
So the body and the mind they're it's like two

414
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:14.400
different people.

415
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.079
Right, And you said you have two kids that so

416
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.400
I imagine the they no three, you young three?

417
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.160
Okay? And how old are they?

418
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:25.599
Where are we at now? Are we the even age?

419
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:33.359
So sixteen, eighteen twenty and so I'm still happen wouldn't

420
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.039
have time to do that. Yeah, twenty years ago, eighteen

421
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.559
years ago, and sixty years ago.

422
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.480
But that's amazing. Congratulations. And one of them is off

423
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.680
to college now, right, two.

424
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.160
Actually are so.

425
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:53.000
Serene is a junior at San Francisco State and her

426
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.759
majors child development, so she wants to help and fix

427
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.759
the kids before they get ut, before they even at

428
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:04.279
that age. Mateo is at UNLB. He's a jazz major.

429
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.079
So that's his life. He breathed, leaves, lives day in

430
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:09.039
and day out, jazz.

431
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.119
Nice.

432
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.480
I saw your post fabiola of him playing right now.

433
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.880
You must be so proud. I mean, did you see

434
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.160
that coming? Was he always? I mean, obviously he's playing.

435
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:24.599
No, Because at the school that they went in fifth grade,

436
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.680
they all start with they can join the music class

437
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.039
if they want to, and then they have to get

438
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.039
there at seven thirty in.

439
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.759
The morning or whatever or eight.

440
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.640
Before school starts basically, so they have half an hour

441
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.720
forty minutes of music session. So Serene took flute, and

442
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.880
my nephew and nieces they played instrument, then mateo and

443
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.319
then Leah played, and then from fifth grade and they

444
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.720
went to middle school and they still join and they

445
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.039
still continued music.

446
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.319
But I feel like.

447
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.359
Maybe between eighth grade and freshman year for him, when

448
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.680
he went to freshman year in high school, that's when

449
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.440
he just kind of For me, I feel like that's

450
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.680
when he kind of took.

451
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:09.640
Off, and it's the high school that he wants.

452
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:11.319
I feel like he has a good teacher where he

453
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.039
gave him the liberty to not to do whatever he

454
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.839
wants to, but to really just.

455
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.480
Discover himself and music. So while kids.

456
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.039
After school are you know, either getting in trouble or

457
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.920
they're doing playing sports, or they're hanging out or whatever,

458
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:29.559
he was in the music and.

459
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.079
He's playing jazz, which is very subjective. Jazz is not

460
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:40.400
usually written down. Jazz is what he yeah, right, yeah.

461
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.680
And jazz to me was one of those things, Oh,

462
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.759
I don't listen to that, Like who listens to that?

463
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.079
And now sometimes I find myself in the car and

464
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.200
I'm driving going, oh, yeah, that's a clarinet. Oh yeah,

465
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.880
that's like I recognize instruments because of him. But it

466
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.920
was fun because I got to drive them to all

467
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:04.920
the music show and all the events. So now, of

468
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:09.559
course I don't get to see him play. So on

469
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.880
October ninth, which was his birthday, his school played at

470
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.039
the Vegas Library.

471
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.200
Library has this huge auditorium. It's beautiful, so he's going

472
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:24.559
to play there and I called to say, are you guys.

473
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:25.400
Gonna record it?

474
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.119
And the librarian goes, I don't know what you're talking about.

475
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.079
I said, no, no, no, seriously, you know the jazz

476
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.640
group is going to be there and my son's birthday

477
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.079
today and I can't be there.

478
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.160
So is anyone going to be recording it? Is it

479
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.640
going to be your live? Is it going to be

480
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.839
He's like, I'm just a librarian, lady, I don't know what.

481
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.079
I don't know what you're talking about. But finally I

482
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.839
did find out that his teacher did record it, so

483
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:54.319
it is on YouTube and I do have it now.

484
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:57.559
Oh nice, because that was the day that you know,

485
00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:58.759
it was his eighteenth birthday.

486
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:00.720
And do you still have kid at home?

487
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.400
Actually too, because three is at State so she just

488
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:09.119
commutes every day, okay, and she works right on campus.

489
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.319
There's a preschool, so that's great. And then Leah is

490
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:14.440
a junior in high school.

491
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.599
Right, So growing older didn't mean that you would go

492
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.279
turn into an empty nester right away.

493
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.079
Not yet, Okay. I don't think it's going to happen

494
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:23.720
for a while.

495
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:28.400
At least I would say at least four more years,

496
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:35.200
which that's going to be right when the house is

497
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:37.240
going to be paid off, So then we're free too.

498
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.759
Then that's when we're free to move around the world.

499
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.759
Do you see that for yourself in the future, if

500
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.359
the kids aren't home for you to travel.

501
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.559
Yeah, and I move nothing when I talk about ultra high.

502
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:51.880
Uh move somewhere else or just do traveling and.

503
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.680
No, no, no, no move move out of the Bay Area?

504
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.519
No no, uh, just travel in a way where we

505
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:05.599
would where I go somewhere for two months, three months,

506
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.519
stay there and then come back because there'll be a base,

507
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:13.400
there'll be a home. Yeah, Koreas on my top list, Japan,

508
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:16.440
Europe but not nowhere Sticky.

509
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.519
I don't know hot a Sticky or above.

510
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.680
So Southeast Asia is out of the market.

511
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.720
South America is.

512
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.039
Out yeah, I don't like stick nobody got time for

513
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:31.640
sticky either. No, So, since you bring that up, so

514
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:36.680
you're obviously thinking towards your future so of travel, So

515
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.480
where does work fall into that? So have you thought

516
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.000
about I'm going to work until i'm X age and

517
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:47.720
then retire or is that not even a conversation or

518
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.279
thought yet?

519
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.240
Oh? No.

520
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:54.039
The only problem with you know, it's uh insurance, medical insurance.

521
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.559
That's the only reason I think most people for me

522
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.519
work like that's that's like up here number one.

523
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:07.039
Yeah, when does medicare kick in? That's what sixty.

524
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.920
Seven seventy two, thirty nine.

525
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:11.440
I've got time for that now.

526
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:13.759
I want to say it's sixty five, but you know,

527
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.480
I'm still a few years away, so I haven't had

528
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.559
that conversation then when yet? I know people that like

529
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:24.680
my brother who's three years older. It just depends on

530
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:26.839
how much long you want to work, right, So if

531
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.119
you're still working beyond that, then obviously you're not going

532
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:32.400
to take it. So it's all based on what I mean.

533
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.680
I think.

534
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.920
I wouldn't mind working beyond that if it's part time

535
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.559
where I'm like, oh yeah, I'll have a I have

536
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:44.359
someone that works for me right now, She'll only come

537
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.599
once a week, and she comes in once a week,

538
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.039
she makes the window pretty, she cleans up the stock room,

539
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:55.319
barely deals with the customers, and then gets her just

540
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.079
found and off she goes home. That's what I want

541
00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:58.279
to do.

542
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:04.240
Listen. You have always had a good gig because you

543
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.200
know how to work those girls, and they do lots

544
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.079
of things for you. You basically show up, yes, smile,

545
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.519
do your thing. Because every time I visited you at

546
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:15.839
one of yours, she's like, oh blah blah blah blah,

547
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:17.759
Oh let's get goffeeah blah blah blah, I gotta go.

548
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.440
She's she works that place. So you have a good thing.

549
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.319
And I'm sure you love the people that you work with.

550
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:25.039
No, I do.

551
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.599
So you've always had a good gig. But it's like,

552
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.920
not everyone has to quit at sixty seven or whatever

553
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.599
seventy two. If you want to keep working, you keep working.

554
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.200
And I think you enjoy it, don't you.

555
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.240
I know? I do. I do, I really do.

556
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.880
But for me, the only reason I would say I

557
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.240
do want to quit is just because I do want

558
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.920
to travel, Yeah, when I can still be.

559
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.000
Mobile and walking, and.

560
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:54.960
Exactly because right now I am having an issue with

561
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.240
my fee because we were walking. Johnson and I were

562
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:02.079
walking actually like you know, thousand steps roughly eight to

563
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.880
ten thousand steps a day, and now I'm like walking

564
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.400
around the block going my foot hurts, you know, so

565
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.839
I can't. I need to get back to it because

566
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.599
how else am I going to you know, travel through

567
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:19.000
Europe and walk everywhere? Right, So honestly that's my number

568
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.279
one issue or number one things that I'm trying to fix.

569
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.519
Yeah, I'm the same way. I decided or I don't know, it's.

570
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.839
Not a final decision, but my goal is at age

571
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.200
sixty seven, I will retire because, like you, I like

572
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.160
to travel. So I said, I want to be able

573
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.680
to still be young enough to be mobile and get

574
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.240
out there, especially the longer.

575
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.799
Trips like to Europe.

576
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.279
I mean they're very taxing, not just the travel time

577
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.880
to get there, but then you know, you want to

578
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.279
get out with.

579
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.720
A couple, so the stairs right.

580
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:52.920
Right hills.

581
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.359
So yeah, I'm the same way. So that's kind of

582
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:02.400
what's in what I'm thinking forward is about. Okay, that's

583
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.119
that's the age I'm shooting for.

584
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.160
So I'm about four and a half years away.

585
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.960
So yeah.

586
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.480
Yeah, but you know, life doesn't end after retirement either,

587
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:14.839
and that's something we'd like to talk about too, because

588
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.400
you know, depending you know, whether you choose to work

589
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:20.319
or not work, there's always thinking about what you would

590
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.079
like to do with that time when you're not working,

591
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.359
And they're kind of traditionally called the go go years,

592
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.279
which means that those are the years after you've decided

593
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.960
to stop working where you go and do things, and

594
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.799
you go and do things, so it seems like you

595
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.920
have a pretty good plan in place to do that. Yeah,

596
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.759
And I think it's important.

597
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.160
We didn't do as much travel when the kids were.

598
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.400
Young, and I feel like in a way we did

599
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.279
a disservice for them, because some of them are like

600
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.759
their homebody.

601
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.480
They're like, eh, it's okay, and I'm like.

602
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.440
No, let's go having on your own versus taking a

603
00:28:55.480 --> 00:29:00.599
family of five. It's that's a big difference. Yeah, Right

604
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:03.319
for me on the trips that I've done were I

605
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.359
traveled a lot by myself just because other friends weren't available.

606
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:08.599
And if you're doing Europe for.

607
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.400
Two weeks, I mean, at least in my experience, it's

608
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.759
that's like seven grand airfare, hotel meals.

609
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.839
It's about seven grand per trip. Yeah, and that's just

610
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.519
one person.

611
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.759
So I can't imagine, for you know, how a family

612
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.880
can can do that on any kind of consistent basis.

613
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:28.160
And I didn't travel all the time.

614
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.440
I would let several years go by before I do

615
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.359
it again, just because I'd have to save up the

616
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:32.920
money again.

617
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.799
Yeah, no, and that's another reason why we didn't. You know,

618
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.359
we didn't even like going to Disneyland. My god, down payment?

619
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:44.839
Are you kidding me?

620
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.920
And I can't navigate the whole You need an app.

621
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:50.799
You need to do this, and you need to do that.

622
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:52.279
It's like, can I just go?

623
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.799
Why can't you just go?

624
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.599
Why do I need an app? We're not doing that.

625
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:03.079
We did it once and it was good and again, like, actually,

626
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.400
I'm kind of lucky. My kids are not the type

627
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:07.400
of kids are like when can we go again? They've

628
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.200
never been that way. Even when we were there and

629
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.039
we would see a princess and I'm like, oh my

630
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.640
godd so and so do you want to take a picture?

631
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:15.640
And they would look at me like, that's a lady

632
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:17.680
in the costume. If you want to take a picture.

633
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:20.200
Go ahead, you know, mom, she's not a real princess.

634
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:26.359
You know she's not a real Yeah, they're very realist.

635
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.039
I wonder where they get that from.

636
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.240
Very strong and opinionated. Yeah, I don't know where they

637
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:32.960
get that at all.

638
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.920
They ask you a question to you work with a

639
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:39.279
different group of people. Now, what are you gen z

640
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.359
or what are you? You're not a boomer the boomer?

641
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:42.680
What's that?

642
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:44.519
Well, you're not a baby boomer.

643
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.640
No, I'm not baby Okay, what's after baby boomer? Is

644
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:48.960
that gen z? I don't know.

645
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.319
Whatever, So you're not a baby boomer. Let's go okay,

646
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:57.440
we'll edit that. So people of different ages, do you

647
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.000
see like there's a big difference in the way the community?

648
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.480
Kid think there's some of the younger people that you

649
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.279
work with. I mean, they're very technologically savvy.

650
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:06.000
They knew it.

651
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.640
They use a lot of jargon that I don't understand anymore.

652
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:10.759
They use a lot of apps, they're always on their

653
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.079
phone like this all the time. Do you notice a

654
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.519
big difference and do you have that in your workplace

655
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.559
too right now? Or are your kids like that?

656
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:20.240
My kids are like that, But then I think I'm

657
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:25.559
like that because we all have Instagram, we all have TikTok.

658
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:31.200
Well all, but not Johnson, who doesn't. He's not he's

659
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.519
not in social media. So I believe because of them,

660
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:42.680
I'm able to somehow stay on top of it. Okay, okay,

661
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.039
but some stuff that they use.

662
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.720
I don't know what's skibby? Didn't, I don't know what that's?

663
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.000
What's skibby divvy? What's that? What is skimby divvy?

664
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.000
It's a word they use. I don't know.

665
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.160
Yeah, don We can't tell you. If you don't know,

666
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.680
just yeah, forget it, just listen.

667
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:58.359
I can barely handle Facebook and Instagram, and now we're

668
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:00.359
on blue Sky. So do you are you on takeiktok?

669
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.319
Do you have TikTok?

670
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.720
I am on TikTok. I don't do it, but I

671
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.200
follow it because how can I not. So the girls

672
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.359
and I are always sending things back and forth, like

673
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:13.759
if something comes up that reminds me of them, I

674
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.839
send it to them. If something comes up that reminds

675
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:18.839
them of me. This, so we're constantly sending things.

676
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.519
Back and forth. And so they'll say, do you even work?

677
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.880
Do you work? Are you just on Instagram all day long?

678
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.039
Well it's good because your kids probably can teach you

679
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.799
a lot of things too, right, Oh, because I don't

680
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:31.720
even know how to get on TikTok. I'm not even

681
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.240
going to try.

682
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:33.640
It's like too much for me.

683
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:38.480
Oh yeah, it's it's well both TikTok and Instagram, I think,

684
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:40.480
but TikTok is worse. You know, you're like down the

685
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:44.079
rabbit hole and you're like, oh, that's been twenty minutes

686
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:44.680
of that now.

687
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:47.240
So I mean, what about it? In workplace? Do the

688
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:49.519
people have Are they very similar in age to you?

689
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.680
Are they much younger?

690
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:51.319
No?

691
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:56.400
I have, Well we're five total, two part timer, the

692
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.960
two full timer. I think I always forget. I think

693
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:04.759
they're like in their forties or just turned forty. One

694
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:06.720
just turned forty maybe in the other one maybe is

695
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:11.599
still thirty seven or thirty eight, which god, that sounds

696
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:12.680
young but not really.

697
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.279
Does that make sense?

698
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.319
Yeah? Absolutely absolutely.

699
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.400
So one of them just got on Instagram and then

700
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.720
the other one she's been on it.

701
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.079
And but you do everything.

702
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.799
I have to got to keep up with the kids.

703
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:32.599
With the kids.

704
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:36.119
Yeah, that's the incentive, right, She's got three kids, so

705
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.640
you know, they feed off each other and you want

706
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.279
to be connected with them and be involved in their lives.

707
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.759
You know, Don has dogs. I got nothing. So you know,

708
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.400
there's the difference right there, Fabrila.

709
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:52.519
Another question that we ask in these interviews is that

710
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:55.640
even though you're not in the club yet, you still

711
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:56.559
have a few years to go.

712
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:59.440
Do you look back at a younger age and you can.

713
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.359
Pick the age two, twenty five whatever and think, you know,

714
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.519
maybe would you give yourself advice of, like, you know,

715
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.280
what I should have done or could have done back

716
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.920
then based on you know where you are now. You know,

717
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.920
for something, they talk about I wish I was more confident.

718
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.559
I wish I had done this differently, do you are

719
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:18.079
you the type that kind of I was more?

720
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:22.679
I wish I was more financially savvy. That's a good

721
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:29.480
one because I think, oh, at nineteen, we're not in that.

722
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.800
We're not in that mind space at that age, right,

723
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:36.119
We're like going with our friends. Or if you're the

724
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:37.760
studious type, you know, where am I going to go

725
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:38.400
to college?

726
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.639
So you've not.

727
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.679
Yeah, no, I would say the same for me. I

728
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:45.639
look back now.

729
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.599
I mean when I bought my home, I'm sixty, so

730
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.159
I bought it at forty forty one.

731
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.480
That's pretty good if you think about it pretty good.

732
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.320
But I think about one of my nieces who went

733
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:01.360
to college and got a job right out of college. Uh,

734
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.920
and just really good job and she's still with the company.

735
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.599
She and her husband bought a house seven years ago.

736
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.719
When she bought it, I think she was twenty seven.

737
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.159
Oh that's really good, I hear, and hear.

738
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:17.239
In the Bay Area, which is super expensive now.

739
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.360
Most people at twenty seven don't do that, right because

740
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:22.320
they're thinking, I don't need a car.

741
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.400
I can just uber everywhere I want. I don't have

742
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:26.000
I don't want.

743
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.239
A house because then there's maintenance and I'd have to,

744
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:32.199
you know, a mortgage. Because they're like I'm going They

745
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.079
go out, go out a lot, dinner, they go out

746
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:40.159
with friends, they do the weekend trips. So everything is

747
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:44.519
like now now now. So I know for me, like

748
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.760
if I really have to think about it, it's and

749
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:49.480
think back, it's like.

750
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:51.960
Did I need it to do that or did I

751
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.440
have to buy that? Really?

752
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.280
I mean working downtown Macy Union Square, where you go

753
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.079
across the street and you go to Nieman for lunch

754
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:03.960
and you go across the street to Sacks and you're like,

755
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:08.280
oh my god, it's only if the word only comes before.

756
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:12.320
It's only three hundred dollars. It was eighteen hundred, it's

757
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.960
only eight hundred. Now you gotta get it.

758
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.559
Yeah, you have to please. Yeah, no, I get it. Yeah,

759
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:23.119
it's just we're not so nice at that age.

760
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:23.599
Yeah.

761
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:26.599
So now I'm at work, even though the ladies that

762
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.960
I work with, the ones that are younger than I am,

763
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:34.159
because they're in their forties and thirties, I'm a big

764
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:36.480
advocate of for one k and I'm like, you have it,

765
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:40.280
get it, just even put ten percent. And they're looking

766
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.840
at me like no, like I need my money now.

767
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.320
I'm like, no, you're going to need it later.

768
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:51.760
Also, so I wish like they my young self would

769
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:53.000
have done that right.

770
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:55.800
And can also be based on you know, if you

771
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:57.960
have a mentor or a parent that's on your Like

772
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.440
the niece that I mentioned, my brother is, you know,

773
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.119
really good about saving and this and that. So I

774
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.199
think he instilled in her the thing about you have

775
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.000
to study, you have to do this, you need to

776
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.679
be disciplined. And it wasn't a hard ass about it,

777
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.840
but I think it was.

778
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:15.960
It kind of helped keep her in line.

779
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.920
And like I said, I mean, she's married, she's got

780
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.280
a kid, they have a house. She's still doing all

781
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.719
her social and they do a lot of social and

782
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:25.039
they're a big group of friends, and they're all in

783
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.400
that age where they're either getting married or having kids,

784
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:29.239
so very social.

785
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.800
But they have the responsibilities of the house.

786
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:39.639
And I think someone at her age, having a different

787
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.000
parent whatever, wouldn't be in the same place as she is.

788
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.880
So it's all in your support system and mentors and

789
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:47.480
things like that.

790
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:52.360
So for our kids, since they started their first job,

791
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.760
when they started working, we did the eighty twenty, so

792
00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:59.840
eighty percent goes into their saving. They could do whatever

793
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.039
one and we can't say anything. You want to buy

794
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:04.920
twenty dollar worth of candy, twenty dollars worth of both

795
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.440
on a twenty dollars worth of whatever it is, or

796
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.800
you know, twenty percent of it, we can't say anything,

797
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:14.440
even if we think that is the stupidest thing they

798
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:14.920
ever bought.

799
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.760
We can't. But that eighty percent puts away. Can't They

800
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:24.000
can't touch it obviously, you know, they live in a home.

801
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.679
Everything is here. It's not like they need to touch

802
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:34.159
that eighty percent. Yeah, So by the youngest one, she

803
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.719
goes out with her friends and they she works in

804
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.320
the cafeteria where her friends work in the cafeteria.

805
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:42.039
Mind you, I don't know about you.

806
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.320
Guys, but when I went to high school, you didn't

807
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.960
eat at the cafeteria or work at the cafeteria. I

808
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.880
was like embarrassing, you know in high school.

809
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.719
Oh No, here, it's like it's a cool thing to do.

810
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:56.840
She works there, she comes home with her low you know,

811
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.360
slowly that she made or whatever.

812
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.320
Dessert she made, and all this kind of fun stuff.

813
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.280
So but her.

814
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:06.920
Friends, for guy friends, they like, let's go out, and

815
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:07.719
she goes, no, I can't.

816
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:09.079
We just got paid.

817
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:11.199
And he's like, yeah, but I get taxed a sept

818
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:14.639
oh and they're like, no, you don't.

819
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.599
That's that how it works. Be goes, oh, no, that's

820
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:17.840
how it works in my household.

821
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.599
My household.

822
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:23.480
Yes no, but that's great that you have that framework

823
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.280
and that discipline for them. Yeah, because they may not

824
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:28.800
thank you now, but they'll thank you later.

825
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.840
So Fabi sometimes I asked this question too, and it's

826
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.480
like I look at it too and reflect on this,

827
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:38.840
But have you in any way become your mother?

828
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:39.360
Yes?

829
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.840
How so what.

830
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.639
Like I look at a mirror real quickly and I'm like,

831
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.320
oh my god, I just look like her.

832
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.880
Oh I look down at my hands. Oh, and I

833
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.679
feel like those are her hands. I think of that

834
00:39:58.239 --> 00:39:59.639
moreover the physical thing.

835
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:03.679
And then I also to say to her, you know,

836
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.679
not everyone's talking about you, because she'll come in a room,

837
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:09.360
which goes, what are you guys talking like, No, we're

838
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:12.199
not talking about you. And now I do that, and

839
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.760
my kids are saying to me, no one's talking about you.

840
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:18.719
But mostly I think in the physical part, I'll catch

841
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.840
myself and I'm like, wow, I am starting to look

842
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.920
like her, which does nothing wrong with that, but it's

843
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.360
just weird.

844
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:28.559
That thing is just like I think sometimes we catch

845
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:32.000
ourselves and say, oh my gosh, I'm ex number whatever

846
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:34.400
that age is, because we talk about this a lot too.

847
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:38.119
It's like it's just a number. But sometimes especially when

848
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.440
you related to younger people, like the people that you

849
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.920
work with who are thirty seven or forty, and you're saying,

850
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.800
oh my gosh, I'm I'm sixty two, they're thirty. I'm

851
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:52.440
twice as old as this person. Yeah, sometimes that gets me.

852
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:54.079
It gets me a little like free.

853
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:58.239
Yeah, because at my age, she was a like I said,

854
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.920
my age, she was already a grom and I'm like,

855
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.760
I'm not a grandmother.

856
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:08.440
My personality is not a grandmother.

857
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:12.440
My age is, but not me, not my mind, not

858
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.400
anything about me as a grandmother.

859
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:16.559
Right, I got time for.

860
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.280
That, and thank you for doing that again. But it's

861
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.599
like the thing is so yes, you're not your grandmother,

862
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.800
you're not acting like a grandmother. But for generations that

863
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.239
are younger than us, they're so different, like you said,

864
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.559
they don't prepare. It's about now, now now. So it's

865
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.239
great that you're instilling some values with your kids too,

866
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.360
about this eighty twenty, that you're getting them prepared and

867
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:41.079
they realize the value of money because so many people

868
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:45.679
who are younger now want to order the food to

869
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:47.679
come to them. They don't know how to cook. They

870
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.239
don't want to buy a house because they probably don't

871
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:50.199
know how to fix anything.

872
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:55.880
Oh no, right, so yeah, we can't know it's important,

873
00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:57.559
not in this household.

874
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:03.679
I think like Matteo has helped Johnson.

875
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:08.679
You know they fixed the stove using YouTube because they

876
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.199
neither was out or yesterday. They put the new Venutian

877
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.840
blind in the girl's room, all the akia furniture that

878
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:16.360
we bought.

879
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.840
He's put it together. He knows how to cook.

880
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:23.559
That's important. Actually kids know how to need to learn

881
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.119
how to cook.

882
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:25.880
Yeah, no, he I don't know how to cook.

883
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:27.119
No, I don't.

884
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.199
I don't do any of the cooking. There's no no.

885
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.960
I'm a the dishwasher and the cleaner.

886
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.000
But your husband is quite a good cook, right, Oh.

887
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.440
Yeah, yeah. You shouldn't see the dinner we had yesterday.

888
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:39.920
I was like, wow, this is like.

889
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:42.719
And then afterward I was like, oh, I forgot to

890
00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:47.679
take picture and post it. They make fun of because

891
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:52.000
I'll write it's what's for dinner, you know, tug, It's

892
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:52.880
what's for dinner.

893
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.960
So and we're so which Johnson is really a very

894
00:42:58.039 --> 00:42:59.519
good sports But at the same.

895
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:03.639
Time he also so ask four feedback, like how was it?

896
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:07.599
Was it good? So that he can remake it better.

897
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:10.960
But if someone doesn't know us and there's a camera

898
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:12.960
watching us, they'd be like that is so mean.

899
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.679
I'm rude. This guy just spent how many hours making

900
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.480
a meal? We're like too salty to this. Yesterday it

901
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:22.360
was our first time.

902
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:28.039
Actually we bought the salmon from Costco, but the sashimi grade.

903
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:33.480
So he made it three different ways so that it's

904
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:37.320
Brian three different ways, so to see the flavor. I'm like, well, not,

905
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.199
I'm never going to go to a sushi bar and

906
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:45.119
order sashimi because we made it better now unless it's

907
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:48.000
kind of like you know that, you know, highest one

908
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:51.719
of those good Japanese restaurant where it's literally flown in

909
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.480
the same day, or yeah, I'm like, well that's out

910
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:57.159
the window. We're not going for sushi no now. So

911
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.039
a lot of yeah, a lot of a lot of

912
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.039
different things between the kids and him, Lea likes to

913
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.519
bake and do different things, and Serena.

914
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.840
And I were like, we don't do that.

915
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:10.000
People do things for us.

916
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:14.639
Another question we ask is at your age, are there

917
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.320
things that you are better at or wish you had

918
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:20.000
learned to do.

919
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:22.440
And that could be a skill or.

920
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:26.639
It could be something else just with life and knowledge

921
00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:29.920
that maybe you would you could do better now or

922
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:30.639
know more about.

923
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.519
I wish I knew how to paint and I wish

924
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:37.360
I took that in painting a musical instrument, because I'm like,

925
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:39.800
they just started in fifth grade and they can play

926
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:40.119
like this.

927
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:43.320
Why did anyone said that to me or do that

928
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:43.599
for me?

929
00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:46.599
And what has stopped you from maybe wanting to pick

930
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.519
up that skill or take a class time time.

931
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.519
Yeah, at the end of the day, you're like, I

932
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:55.400
don't have that time.

933
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:57.880
Well maybe in the future when you're not traveling in

934
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:01.920
Europe or you get travel to Europe and take a

935
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.920
paint class or what is.

936
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:05.400
It those.

937
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.920
Wine wine painting class Like you're drinking wine and your painting.

938
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:12.440
Yes, do that?

939
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:13.280
I did one.

940
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:16.119
Yes, that would be easy. I would do that because

941
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:17.800
all you do is get inspiration in your glass. And

942
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:24.920
I was like, I'm a painter, I'm a freaking genius.

943
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:25.599
Yeah.

944
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:29.559
So I did one because it was a U what

945
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.599
is it called fundraiser for one.

946
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:32.159
Of the class.

947
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.400
Okay, so yeah, so we did it at a local

948
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.519
bar and it was fun. So that painting is hanging

949
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:42.119
on our wall. That's the easiest fundraiser that school do.

950
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.280
So all the moms get together and it's always all

951
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:48.679
the mom You never see the dads because it's all

952
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:50.840
the mom that get together because like now they're drinking

953
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.119
and painting.

954
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:58.880
If there's a correlation. Mommy needs an escape, Mommy needs

955
00:45:58.920 --> 00:45:59.559
some me time.

956
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:03.440
I'm going to go I'm gonna go painting. Kids, leave

957
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:03.960
me alone.

958
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:11.159
Mommy needs to explore her artistic endeavors, sucide, and yes,

959
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:13.480
if it means picking up a glass, well, hey, you

960
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:15.920
know mom's had a rough life, and you know mommy

961
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:16.719
needs a little vacation.

962
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:21.039
So I asked this question when I sent you the

963
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:22.280
fabulous so I need you.

964
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:26.079
Did you still person?

965
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:30.159
That's okay? But here's the thing. Who would play you

966
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.719
in the movies or on TV? You know?

967
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:36.119
And I'm so bad because I always forget her name?

968
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.559
Did you watch that show One Day at a Time?

969
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:40.800
Yes, the mom one of the daughter or the mom

970
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:42.039
Bonnie Franklin.

971
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:46.840
Franklin the mom? Yeah, the redhead with the mushroom haircut.

972
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:48.679
No, no, the new One Day at a Time?

973
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:50.039
Oh, the new one?

974
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:50.559
All right?

975
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:55.360
Yes, yes, that's how we are right now. We really

976
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:57.719
wished we went to the original one.

977
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.800
Okay, So the remake that was on net Flix, Yes,

978
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:06.119
I did watch that. I don't know the actress's name,

979
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:08.119
but I know who you're talking about. Don will look

980
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:14.320
her up while we're talking. But okay, Justine, yes, Justine.

981
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:16.880
I think that just like curly hair.

982
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:19.400
Yes, yes, yes, I see it.

983
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.039
Okay, she's a bit of a pistol. Sure, I could see.

984
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:25.320
That oh, yes, she's a firecracker for yes. Yeah, thank

985
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:26.760
you for preparing that answer.

986
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:29.719
So that's my profile picture for Netflix.

987
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:31.280
Okay, just nice.

988
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:33.199
Okay, Now I get that makes sense because I know

989
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:38.840
her personality and you're right, very.

990
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.719
Have you watched the whole series? No? I did, Yes,

991
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:42.679
Oh my god, I love it.

992
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:43.960
Yeah.

993
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:46.840
You know a lot of the stuff that came through

994
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:52.960
sometime I'm like what that's like, what's happening now? Or

995
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:56.639
like in that show her mom lives in that one room.

996
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.360
Yeah, and then she comes out of the clock the

997
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:03.800
curtains so she doesn't have a door, she has curtains

998
00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:04.280
for doors.

999
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:08.400
Well, my mom when she was downstairs, she.

1000
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:12.960
Did how funny and she busts and say, who's talking

1001
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:13.320
about me?

1002
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:14.400
Yeah?

1003
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:22.639
Well, and the TV series Rida Moreno played uh yeah, yeah,

1004
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:23.840
yeah no, and they.

1005
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:25.679
Definitely you know, brought it current with.

1006
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:33.400
Exploring like the daughter's sexuality and and although readA reno

1007
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:35.559
is always good, but you know, she was like the

1008
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:37.960
very aggressive sexualized grandmother.

1009
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:41.239
It was a little over she was. Yeah, but but

1010
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:42.480
over all I did well.

1011
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:44.320
They have to because you know, they need to keep

1012
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.159
our attentions fan.

1013
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:49.000
Right, don any other questions I do have one?

1014
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.440
Please? Have you and we talked about this in the

1015
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:55.400
previous episode. Have you or do you take advantage Babby

1016
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.400
of any senior discounts or you're not even eligible, are you?

1017
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.119
I wish I did. Sorry I did that because then

1018
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:03.960
the noise back. I wish I did.

1019
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.039
I keep forgetting because I know, isn't it Ross fifty

1020
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:13.159
five and over on a Tuesday? Yes, I didn't discount.

1021
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:15.280
You do know additional ten there?

1022
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:18.400
I think it's Tuesday, but I'm not shopping on a

1023
00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:19.840
Tuesday at Ross, so.

1024
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:22.079
That's go.

1025
00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:29.159
And then I did sign up for what is that

1026
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:32.760
ar F? And I was like, this is stupid. I'm

1027
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:37.679
paying a membership for a year and I've never used it,

1028
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.800
Like what what do I use it for? Like I

1029
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:44.400
wasn't good disciplined enough to read everything that I needed

1030
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:46.800
to read to take advantage of it.

1031
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.800
So I can't write, Yeah, they don't give it to you.

1032
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:51.440
You have to do the research that go on the web.

1033
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.800
Yes, and then you have to do the work to

1034
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:55.800
see you Oh way, these companies.

1035
00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:57.880
Offer discounts, so yeah, it does take a little work.

1036
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:01.440
But I was just saying I I.

1037
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:05.400
Am more of get a discount with the apps. So

1038
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.039
I have an app for all the fast food.

1039
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:14.559
Whatever food places gives you a discount because you have

1040
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:18.199
their app. I'll do it if they if we go

1041
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:20.440
to a new place and you.

1042
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:24.239
Dessert place with the kids and they say get a

1043
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:25.760
free toping or get a free this.

1044
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:28.840
If you post it on Instagram, take a picture, I'm

1045
00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:29.360
right there.

1046
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.639
We'll here I posted. Do I get my freebean out?

1047
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:36.000
And do you take your kids? Like it's your birthday today?

1048
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:36.920
It's your birthday?

1049
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:39.840
Oh no, we do yeah, no, we've done that.

1050
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:45.920
We'll start with Starbucks, Pete, but we'll just go down

1051
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:52.280
the line and you know, yeah, then my birthday is No.

1052
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:54.639
They're right there with me. They're the ones that show me.

1053
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:56.880
And then we make Johnson do it. So we're like

1054
00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:59.000
download it on your phone right now, we're doing that

1055
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:00.000
with you.

1056
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.960
You need free sprinkles, dad are yeah?

1057
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:07.199
And now we have this app call too Good to Go?

1058
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:08.320
Have you done that?

1059
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:14.039
So basically it's whatever they weren't able to sell, they'll

1060
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:16.400
sell it to you at a discount price.

1061
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:18.760
So I know, like Wholefood has it where.

1062
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:23.960
For like you know nine ninety nine, you could you

1063
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:25.960
buy it on your apps and you reserve it. But

1064
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.440
you go between that time and they'll you know, it's

1065
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:31.280
either deli or bakery and whatever they weren't able to

1066
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:33.039
sell that day.

1067
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:34.039
So there's a.

1068
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.880
Donut place not far from us, and it's four ninety nine.

1069
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:39.880
You get seven doors.

1070
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:42.199
Girl, you're all hooked up with all the things the

1071
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:43.159
kids are doing.

1072
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.000
Right, I probably I'm not doing too good to go okay.

1073
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:47.840
I thought it was too good.

1074
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:52.760
Yeah, no, no, too good to go okay, buts and

1075
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:55.719
dessert places, I'm not doing it well.

1076
00:51:56.199 --> 00:52:04.960
There's grocery stores, there's yeah, all kind of fun places.

1077
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:08.440
It's focusing on the perishable things obviously.

1078
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:09.320
Yes, okay.

1079
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:14.039
So that's probably why I have not taken advantage of

1080
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:17.000
the senior discount, because I'm too busy.

1081
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:17.480
To the.

1082
00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:21.400
You're working it through another angles what you're doing.

1083
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:25.119
But I signed up for a ARP so I could

1084
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:26.239
get the free Duffel bag.

1085
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:31.519
Now I got this free accordion thing for the back

1086
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:34.039
of the car. It's so flimsy that you don't even know.

1087
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.719
I might have thrown it away.

1088
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.920
So bringing it back. Life is good?

1089
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:39.239
Right?

1090
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:41.639
Are you happy? Things are doing and doing well?

1091
00:52:41.800 --> 00:52:42.519
I think so now?

1092
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:44.960
Yeah, yeah, good, I'm very happy.

1093
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:45.199
For you.

1094
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:46.199
We're very happy for you.

1095
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:49.599
Thank you, thank you for asking me to do this,

1096
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:50.679
because I was a little bit.

1097
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:54.559
Why you were fine? You're all nervous? What the hell?

1098
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:56.440
Since when are you nervous about anything?

1099
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.679
Well, I'm gonna be on camera. How can you not

1100
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:00.480
be of us?

1101
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:01.320
Oh no, we're not.

1102
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:02.360
Oh wait, there's a camera.

1103
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:04.840
What No one told me about that?

1104
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.079
And you're paying us to interview you, right, so we

1105
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.039
should be getting a check in the mail from you.

1106
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:19.159
It's sure you take a voucher, but there's the next ratio,

1107
00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:22.880
so you might you have to use it between this type.

1108
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:28.000
Of right, because it's perishable, because like us, But you

1109
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:30.679

00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.119
I think I'm good now. But it was super nice

1112
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:36.519

And you weren't nervous, right, No, just at the beginning.

1115
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:44.559

Okay, okay, got I gotta got it.

1122
00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:04.519
Yeah, I mean I'm in the city in San Francisco,

1123
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:06.440
and that I'm down the peninsula to see my mom

1124
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:11.000
every week in San Mateo. I don't get further south

1125
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:11.800
than that, but you know.

1126
00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:15.760
It's really pretty, it's really nice.

1127
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:19.440
You never know. Yeah, well again, Fabi, thank you for

1128
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:23.559
joining us. Lovely, congratulations on your children, all your success,

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:26.960

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:30.119
always coming up to you. So we're so happy.

1131
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:43.719
And yeah, of course, and we're back.

1132
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:44.599
That was fun.

1133
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:45.519
That was good.

1134
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:45.719
You know.

1135
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:48.440
The one thing I didn't ask was, you know, I've

1136
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:52.400
met her husband before Johnson, but there was a running

1137
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.719
joke where like he doesn't really exist because he never

1138
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.039
would come with her attend any of the events. I

1139
00:54:57.079 --> 00:54:59.559
only met him when they had a store, a grocery

1140
00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:02.760
store and Tan Samitteo. I remember that, and I and

1141
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:04.480
my mom and I would go visit them and you know,

1142
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:07.000
want to support them, and that was a few times

1143
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.960
I would see. But he was always working. I was

1144
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:11.400
like unloading trucks, so he's just always on the go.

1145
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.239
But one thing I didn't ask was like, how long

1146
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.199
have they been together. I mean, well, if.

1147
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:17.760
They have a twenty year old then obviously more than

1148
00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:22.239
twenty years. But but they've been together forever.

1149
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:25.480
Yes, yes, but yeah, it's it's fun time. I love her.

1150
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:27.599
She was so much fun to work with. She's just

1151
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:30.000
a really lovely lady. And she's had a lot of

1152
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:32.280
good experiences with her life now, which and I'm so

1153
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:33.000
happy about.

1154
00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:33.679
Right.

1155
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:37.360
Well, and then to see her and listen to her,

1156
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:39.559
I mean that's what I remember from and it's been

1157
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:41.559
a long time since I've seen her. So she's one

1158
00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:44.320
of those people that doesn't age. She does look the same.

1159
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:48.119
Her personality is just always really up and positive and bubbly,

1160
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:50.599
and you know, she's got that great laugh. And so yeah,

1161
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:52.719
it was fun to see her and catch up with her.

1162
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:54.760
Yeah. Great, So good job with that.

1163
00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:57.679
Yeah, So are we ready to wrap it up?

1164
