Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to this Saturday edition of Morning Run. We'd like to call it our recovery Run. It is Saturday, August thirtieth, Amy roboc here alongside TJ. Holmes, and this is the time of the week where we talk about what we did to give ourselves a beat, to give ourselves a break from all of the stress and craziness that our Morning runs and our lives actually unfold each and every day. So yeah, it's about being intentional, about unplugging, about taking time for yourself, taking time for your relationship. And so by doing this podcast, we hope to inspire you, but we also try to keep ourselves accountable.
00:00:39
Speaker 2: How we doing this week, Babe?
00:00:41
Speaker 3: Not great, But it's been good stuff. It's been fun stuff. We just haven't you know. It's the rest. We haven't gotten the proper rest. That's man, that's going to be on my tombstone, right.
00:00:53
Speaker 2: He only slept, If only I could have slept more.
00:00:56
Speaker 3: But yeah, we just had some travel involved this week and we've been all over and my goodness, the girls, we've been a lot of parenting lately.
00:01:04
Speaker 1: Well. So the cool thing about this week to me is that it has marked the end of.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: The summer of daughter.
00:01:13
Speaker 1: So we are now on a bit of a retreat. Now I say a retreat because this is kind of a maybe an experiment of sorts, because we are on vacation. Technically, technically we are on vacation, but take issue with that. This is a work run fun getaway is how I would describe it. It's a work run, fun getaway. We are actually overseas, and so the cool thing about this is that the time change has been kind to awesome. We're just kind of leaning into it where I actually, I know you might not have been sleeping as well, but I have been getting for the last two nights in a row, seven plus hours a night of sleep because morning run is more like afternoon run where we are, and.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: I have not been getting the same amount of sleep. I've been up later and I've been up earlier. It's typical, isn't it.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: You watched me fault. You said you watched me store last night.
00:02:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and then you left me while I was still sleeping in the morning.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, all those things happened. So but I feel fine. I feel good, I feel strong, I feel it's always fun traveling with you, and it's fun checking out a new place. I take issue with vacation because we happen to be somewhere, at least in my mind, you cannot vacation somewhere where you need a coat and that this, So this doesn't count the.
00:02:35
Speaker 1: Vacation, even though we're in a hotel in a storied city yep, and are having a blast while we're working.
00:02:43
Speaker 3: So it's cold, it's out. If you cannot be in shorts and a tank top in said location, you are not vacationing.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: So this is our first kid free getaway since Memorial Day. We did have a little bit of a getaway Memorial Day. Yeah, we did a quick little lake get away in Memorial Day. And then since then the entire summer, it has all been about the girls.
00:03:06
Speaker 3: What about this year? Have we not done as? Have we not flown anywhere together? No? We went to Vegas for your for my birthday?
00:03:13
Speaker 2: Yes, so, but this so this marks This is a big deal.
00:03:17
Speaker 1: This is marking like both of my daughters came back to live with me, which I think is going to be I hope is going to be a one and done situation. It was it was bittersweet because I knew it was the last time us three girls would live together.
00:03:30
Speaker 2: But that ship is now.
00:03:31
Speaker 3: More better than or sweet.
00:03:34
Speaker 2: It's both.
00:03:35
Speaker 1: I think it's equal parts because yeah, because it was hard. There were hard moments when you have three adult women living together in one house with different priorities and different ways of living. Yes, and yet one person still paying for all of it. Yeah, there's some bitterness there.
00:03:54
Speaker 3: We couldn't keep rosecco or toilet paper in the house for three months.
00:03:59
Speaker 2: That's actually true, even scary all at the same time.
00:04:01
Speaker 1: But yeah, so now this marks this time where yes, Analysa is off to college, but Apa has moved out for real, for good. So we we could say we're now on this week to start focusing towards one another.
00:04:16
Speaker 2: We haven't gotten the chance to do that yet though.
00:04:19
Speaker 3: It is so annoying. It annoys me so much that we sit in the same room for hours and act like we don't know each other. And we do that because I say that, because we're sitting quietly, we're staring at a screen, we're working, we're focused on something. Sometimes you are texting somebody, you're texting our producers and whatnot, and I'm getting the text in the next room, like, are.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: You sending stuff right now, I'm like, yes, I am.
00:04:44
Speaker 3: That thing, and it just it drives me absolutely not, And I'm just as guilty of not recognizing the blessing of first and foremost. I am with you, I am with the person I love. I am with my life partner. I'm sitting here with you, and we have.
00:05:00
Speaker 2: Work to do, a lot of work to do.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: Versus right now, I'm at work and she happens to be here right As a different mindset, sometimes I have this is just fun. What if I just take this as I get to hang out with the person I love and just talk shit into a microphone. That's a good time. But if I have the attitude, Okay, we gotta work, we gotta do this, it's it's a total mindset. But I have and we have failed in a durassical.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Phrase, right, So we're still working on that balance.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: But it's funny because when people when you say you're getting away and you're going somewhere and you're working the entire time you're on vacation. That's one thing, But what about if you also made a decision to take a to take time away and work the entire time, but also add to that running a half marathon.
00:05:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds fun.
00:05:50
Speaker 1: Should we say where we are though, because we are running an official half marathon? Not yet?
00:05:53
Speaker 2: Maybe after the fact, yes, wait, all right.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: Say I don't want to end up in an ambulance or something in it.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: So yes, we traveled far to run a half marathon, and that is actually happening later today.
00:06:08
Speaker 2: This is a very unique experience for us.
00:06:10
Speaker 1: So we say we're gonna unplug now because actually we are wrapping up our work for the week, and so I hope today Saturday and all day tomorrow we actually just have fun and we don't work because we've prepped our feed so that we've got podcasts for everyone to listen to throughout the weekend. But we hopefully will be able to unplug. And it all, honestly, is going to begin when we prep for this half marathon, which starts normal runs, and any runners out there will know it's the first thing in the morning. You wake up seven am. Star time pretty much is standard, and that way you get the coolest weather, but you will also start your day with the run. That's how a lot of folks do it because it kind of affects what you eat everything like how you sleep, what you eat, your level of fatigue, like you don't want to go halfway through the day and then start running right or what do you eat.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure this out.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: But this race starts at three point thirty in the afternoon and it is throwing me.
00:07:06
Speaker 2: Is it throwing you? I'm not sure what to expect.
00:07:08
Speaker 3: It's the thing on this trip I'm looking for. To most, I am so excited. I am. I'm excited to test out this foot see if it holds up. I'm excited to run around a city where we're essentially going to get the best tour of a new place that you can get, which is to run thirteen miles all the way around it, which is what we're about to do. So I am this is the highlight of the trip for me. This is what I'm looking for to most, and you please stop calling this vacation. I have not worn a T shirt outside.
00:07:39
Speaker 1: Okay, But and I know we have this conversation too, and it's runners have very specific preferences when it comes to the perfect conditions for running, and my preference is the cooler the better. In fact, my best half marathon I have ever run was the coldest half marathon I believe on record in New York City, where it was a sub freezing half marathon from start to finish, and the real field temperatures, the windshills did not get out of the teams.
00:08:09
Speaker 2: And I had the best run of my life.
00:08:12
Speaker 3: And I once I remember, had the worst run of my life race or practice run, folks, The worst run of my life that made me want to literally quit running. Was the same frickin' race she's talking about. Is the best one she's ever had. You all, that is not a joke, the same race we had. It was her best and was my absolute worst experience.
00:08:42
Speaker 2: Yes, and then flip it.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: And when it's super hot, you are thriving, and I am absolutely dying on the vine. I mean, if it's over seventy degrees, I start to get stressed because I know my body is gonna get hot. Now, a half marathon, no, but a full marathon over the temperature of seventy degrees that gives me nightmares because I just my body can't cool down.
00:09:04
Speaker 3: Sixty five to sixty seven, that's my sweet spot in the half marathon. Sixty five or sixty seven.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: Well, do you know what the high is tomorrow, babe, sixty six?
00:09:11
Speaker 3: Boom boom?
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Is it really yes?
00:09:13
Speaker 1: The high tomorrow is sixty six yes, so to me, yes, it's a little cold in the morning and it doesn't really get to be as hot as you'd like it on vacation. But tomorrow, I mean sorry today, sorry today for this half marathon. Today is going to be the perfect weather day for this half marathon, so I hope we can lean into that and have an incredible run today, which is so strange again to start the race at three point thirty in the afternoon.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: I'm even more excited. I didn't realize the weather was going to be right smack dab in the middle of my perfect temperatures.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: All right, so we've got the race to look forward to later today. But I think to cap off our recovery run and the week that this is going to set up for us in terms of more intentional leaning in on what we want to do and celebrating us and finding those moments. Well, I can't wait to share with you what we're going to do to celebrate crossing the finish line at the half marathon. Before we go to break, I have to tell you about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from this brand called Toona, and fun fact here, they were actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon, So from that alone, you already know they're going to be pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin. They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been wearing them on my warning runs and they've quickly become my everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think is so important and incredible, So we've partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent off your order and free shipping. Head to tonaactive dot com and you code iHeart for twenty percent off and free shipping. Welcome back to our Saturday recovery run for August thirtieth, where we're actually getting ready to go on well a lot more than a recovery run. We're about to go on a thirteen point one mile run, a half marathon here in this city.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: That we have traveled to to relax. How relax do you feel, Vabe.
00:11:34
Speaker 3: You know it is stressful, and again, this recovery run is for us to I mean, we try to give some advice, some tips, or even some inspiration for making sure you carve out time. We just haven't done a very good job this week. The stress has come from trying to do the job somewhere else where. You also try to enjoy where you are right so it's not even a matter. We have the same amount of time in the day as we do back in New York, but we're trying to run out the door to go check out the sites. We're trying to go to this new restaurant. We're trying to do all these things. So that part has been awfully, it's felt stressful. It hasn't felt relaxing just yet.
00:12:15
Speaker 2: But that is going to change once we.
00:12:17
Speaker 1: Cross that finished across the finish line for this half marathon later today, and we have plans. First of all, we're going to find a great restaurant. I think that's going to be such a great meal tonight when you and I can just look at each other, undivided attention, just you and me, no work, no daughters. No, Oh my god, we have to run a race tomorrow. No, it's all the sense of accomplishment and the fact that we did it together is going to hit us.
00:12:45
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited about that.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: But to celebrate, we have a big day planned for Sunday. We are going to a museum. And you don't typically like to go to museums. Ever we travel. I think I always go because I feel like I should. I'm kind of like an obligatory museum goer. There are things that you I feel like like when I went to Florence, I felt like I had to see David. When we went to Florence, you were like, I'm good. When I went to Rome, I felt like I had to see the Sistine Chapel, and and you said, yeah, I feel like I know what it looks like.
00:13:20
Speaker 2: So you're a little bit more extreme than me.
00:13:22
Speaker 3: Extreme. I like to just keep it pushing. I'm not a I'm not a sites guy.
00:13:26
Speaker 1: Have you gone to the Louver when you go to Paris?
00:13:28
Speaker 3: I walked by it because it looks cool from the outside, But you.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Didn't go see the Mona, Lisa.
00:13:32
Speaker 3: I think it was closed when I went.
00:13:33
Speaker 1: Okay, see here's the deal. I've already seen a lot of these museums. So if you say you don't want to go, I am not going to push.
00:13:39
Speaker 3: I am just not the guy. I'm not a I'm not an excrusion guy. I'm not a let's go get a ticket and get in line guy. I want to walk up and down and see the sites. I want to those stone streets.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: You are anti tour guide. You don't even want the idea of you being in a tour is hilarious.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: I like bus, not I don't want to be enough.
00:14:02
Speaker 1: Bus, but I don't mind having a guide explain what you're looking at and what the history is behind it.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: But you have zero, zero desire.
00:14:10
Speaker 3: But you know my whatever it is about me, I just like being on my schedule. I don't like I don't even want to wait for you to finish the answer about the history of this building. I've heard enough, let's go move. But he keeps talking. That's why I don't like tour guides, and that's why I certainly can you imagine a tour group? I would explode if people keep raising their hands. Well, can you tell me about the first the first friar who was assigned to. No, that's what you're hilarious.
00:14:41
Speaker 1: Okay, So we've established for anyone who didn't know that you are not a museum.
00:14:45
Speaker 3: Not a museum.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: And I have not pushed the issue because there hasn't been a museum that I really wanted to go to that I thought was worth like actually checking this offer. I'm like, know that I'm actually getting I'm asking you to do something I know you don't want to do. So that has changed because tomorrow we are going to a museum.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Are you excited?
00:15:07
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to it because I know how excited you are. And again, you've been talking about this for a while, haven't you.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So this is a museum that pays homage to and again, we don't want to give away where we are yet, we'll do it soon enough. But one of the best selling popular music groups in the history.
00:15:28
Speaker 2: Of recorded music.
00:15:31
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a museum about this group and this group and I go way back. I have so many amazing memories of sitting in front of my dad's eight track stereo and playing this music ad nauseum and then following along and finding the lyrics, and my dad, who is such a patient man who didn't raise his voice very often, but I used to drive him to his wits end singing these songs.
00:15:59
Speaker 2: So I am so.
00:16:01
Speaker 1: Excited to go to this museum tomorrow, and I'm just really happy that you've agreed to come. And it's just going to be a fun way for us to have some fun, to enjoy something that we would never ever normally witness or attend, and do it with the wonderful race behind us.
00:16:19
Speaker 3: I'm excited that you're excited about it. Obviously, this is not this group is not my jam. There are other groups and other music you've introduced me to that I am more in line with this one. I just don't get. I don't get, I don't like. It's just not my coup of tea. I respect the hell out of it what they've been able to do, but I just this is so I'm very curious to see this stuff tomorrow.
00:16:44
Speaker 1: What are you going to ask me to go see or do at some point that I have zero interest in and that you will be really excited to show me.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: A basketball game?
00:16:56
Speaker 2: I like basketball game.
00:16:59
Speaker 1: That's not hard, and I'm trying to think of what you like that I would not be that interesting no, but this.
00:17:04
Speaker 3: Isn't a thing. It's not like this is a hobby of yours. No, this is a one off thing. Oh no, this is fun. Sorry. I think the hiking is the only consistent thing that just says it's not my jam, I don't appreciate that, and that is something that you would like to do frequently. That. But other than that, we don't. We don't have those kind of hobbies that it's true split us apart. Yeah, and if this is a one off, this is a one off, I can obviously what I'm gonna say. You'll be fine, oh with that. Oh, this is fun. It's gonna be fun.
00:17:30
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a blast and so yes, and we'll share some some photos online.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're gonna be a whole document dump about this strip.
00:17:39
Speaker 1: All right. Well, anyway, we hope that well, at least our intention will inspire you. And you know, we can all relate the fact that we don't always get it right and we don't always figure out how to prioritize that time that we need to preserve for ourselves and for the ones we love, and to not always be focused on work and duty and what we have to do. But let's find time to do things we want to do. So thank you for listening to us on this Saturday morning run. On this recovery run, I made Roebuck alongside t J.
00:18:11

00:02:35
Speaker 1: Vacation, even though we're in a hotel in a storied city yep, and are having a blast while we're working.

Speaker 1: So yes, we traveled far to run a half marathon, and that is actually happening later today.
00:06:08
Speaker 2: This is a very unique experience for us.
00:06:10
Speaker 1: So we say we're gonna unplug now because actually we are wrapping up our work for the week, and so I hope today Saturday and all day tomorrow we actually just have fun and we don't work because we've prepped our feed so that we've got podcasts for everyone to listen to throughout the weekend. But we hopefully will be able to unplug. And it all, honestly, is going to begin when we prep for this half marathon, which starts normal runs, and any runners out there will know it's the first thing in the morning. You wake up seven am. Star time pretty much is standard, and that way you get the coolest weather, but you will also start your day with the run. That's how a lot of folks do it because it kind of affects what you eat everything like how you sleep, what you eat, your level of fatigue, like you don't want to go halfway through the day and then start running right or what do you eat.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure this out.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: But this race starts at three point thirty in the afternoon and it is throwing me.
00:07:06
Speaker 2: Is it throwing you? I'm not sure what to expect.
00:07:08
Speaker 3: It's the thing on this trip I'm looking for. To most, I am so excited. I am. I'm excited to test out this foot see if it holds up. I'm excited to run around a city where we're essentially going to get the best tour of a new place that you can get, which is to run thirteen miles all the way around it, which is what we're about to do. So I am this is the highlight of the trip for me. This is what I'm looking for to most, and you please stop calling this vacation. I have not worn a T shirt outside.
00:07:39
Speaker 1: Okay, But and I know we have this conversation too, and it's runners have very specific preferences when it comes to the perfect conditions for running, and my preference is the cooler the better. In fact, my best half marathon I have ever run was the coldest half marathon I believe on record in New York City, where it was a sub freezing half marathon from start to finish, and the real field temperatures, the windshills did not get out of the teams.
00:08:09
Speaker 2: And I had the best run of my life.
00:08:12
Speaker 3: And I once I remember, had the worst run of my life race or practice run, folks, The worst run of my life that made me want to literally quit running. Was the same frickin' race she's talking about. Is the best one she's ever had. You all, that is not a joke, the same race we had. It was her best and was my absolute worst experience.
00:08:42
Speaker 2: Yes, and then flip it.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: And when it's super hot, you are thriving, and I am absolutely dying on the vine. I mean, if it's over seventy degrees, I start to get stressed because I know my body is gonna get hot. Now, a half marathon, no, but a full marathon over the temperature of seventy degrees that gives me nightmares because I just my body can't cool down.
00:09:04
Speaker 3: Sixty five to sixty seven, that's my sweet spot in the half marathon. Sixty five or sixty seven.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: Well, do you know what the high is tomorrow, babe, sixty six?
00:09:11
Speaker 3: Boom boom?
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Is it really yes?
00:09:13
Speaker 1: The high tomorrow is sixty six yes, so to me, yes, it's a little cold in the morning and it doesn't really get to be as hot as you'd like it on vacation. But tomorrow, I mean sorry today, sorry today for this half marathon. Today is going to be the perfect weather day for this half marathon, so I hope we can lean into that and have an incredible run today, which is so strange again to start the race at three point thirty in the afternoon.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: I'm even more excited. I didn't realize the weather was going to be right smack dab in the middle of my perfect temperatures.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: All right, so we've got the race to look forward to later today. But I think to cap off our recovery run and the week that this is going to set up for us in terms of more intentional leaning in on what we want to do and celebrating us and finding those moments. Well, I can't wait to share with you what we're going to do to celebrate crossing the finish line at the half marathon. Before we go to break, I have to tell you about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from this brand called Toona, and fun fact here, they were actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon, So from that alone, you already know they're going to be pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin. They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been wearing them on my warning runs and they've quickly become my everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think is so important and incredible, So we've partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent off your order and free shipping. Head to tonaactive dot com and you code iHeart for twenty percent off and free shipping. Welcome back to our Saturday recovery run for August thirtieth, where we're actually getting ready to go on well a lot more than a recovery run. We're about to go on a thirteen point one mile run, a half marathon here in this city.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: That we have traveled to to relax. How relax do you feel, Vabe.
00:11:34
Speaker 3: You know it is stressful, and again, this recovery run is for us to I mean, we try to give some advice, some tips, or even some inspiration for making sure you carve out time. We just haven't done a very good job this week. The stress has come from trying to do the job somewhere else where. You also try to enjoy where you are right so it's not even a matter. We have the same amount of time in the day as we do back in New York, but we're trying to run out the door to go check out the sites. We're trying to go to this new restaurant. We're trying to do all these things. So that part has been awfully, it's felt stressful. It hasn't felt relaxing just yet.
00:12:15
Speaker 2: But that is going to change once we.
00:12:17
Speaker 1: Cross that finished across the finish line for this half marathon later today, and we have plans. First of all, we're going to find a great restaurant. I think that's going to be such a great meal tonight when you and I can just look at each other, undivided attention, just you and me, no work, no daughters. No, Oh my god, we have to run a race tomorrow. No, it's all the sense of accomplishment and the fact that we did it together is going to hit us.
00:12:45
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited about that.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: But to celebrate, we have a big day planned for Sunday. We are going to a museum. And you don't typically like to go to museums. Ever we travel. I think I always go because I feel like I should. I'm kind of like an obligatory museum goer. There are things that you I feel like like when I went to Florence, I felt like I had to see David. When we went to Florence, you were like, I'm good. When I went to Rome, I felt like I had to see the Sistine Chapel, and and you said, yeah, I feel like I know what it looks like.
00:13:20
Speaker 2: So you're a little bit more extreme than me.
00:13:22
Speaker 3: Extreme. I like to just keep it pushing. I'm not a I'm not a sites guy.
00:13:26
Speaker 1: Have you gone to the Louver when you go to Paris?
00:13:28
Speaker 3: I walked by it because it looks cool from the outside, But you.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Didn't go see the Mona, Lisa.
00:13:32
Speaker 3: I think it was closed when I went.
00:13:33
Speaker 1: Okay, see here's the deal. I've already seen a lot of these museums. So if you say you don't want to go, I am not going to push.
00:13:39
Speaker 3: I am just not the guy. I'm not a I'm not an excrusion guy. I'm not a let's go get a ticket and get in line guy. I want to walk up and down and see the sites. I want to those stone streets.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: You are anti tour guide. You don't even want the idea of you being in a tour is hilarious.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: I like bus, not I don't want to be enough.
00:14:02
Speaker 1: Bus, but I don't mind having a guide explain what you're looking at and what the history is behind it.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: But you have zero, zero desire.
00:14:10
Speaker 3: But you know my whatever it is about me, I just like being on my schedule. I don't like I don't even want to wait for you to finish the answer about the history of this building. I've heard enough, let's go move. But he keeps talking. That's why I don't like tour guides, and that's why I certainly can you imagine a tour group? I would explode if people keep raising their hands. Well, can you tell me about the first the first friar who was assigned to. No, that's what you're hilarious.
00:14:41
Speaker 1: Okay, So we've established for anyone who didn't know that you are not a museum.
00:14:45
Speaker 3: Not a museum.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: And I have not pushed the issue because there hasn't been a museum that I really wanted to go to that I thought was worth like actually checking this offer. I'm like, know that I'm actually getting I'm asking you to do something I know you don't want to do. So that has changed because tomorrow we are going to a museum.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Are you excited?
00:15:07
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to it because I know how excited you are. And again, you've been talking about this for a while, haven't you.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So this is a museum that pays homage to and again, we don't want to give away where we are yet, we'll do it soon enough. But one of the best selling popular music groups in the history.
00:15:28
Speaker 2: Of recorded music.
00:15:31
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a museum about this group and this group and I go way back. I have so many amazing memories of sitting in front of my dad's eight track stereo and playing this music ad nauseum and then following along and finding the lyrics, and my dad, who is such a patient man who didn't raise his voice very often, but I used to drive him to his wits end singing these songs.
00:15:59
Speaker 2: So I am so.
00:16:01
Speaker 1: Excited to go to this museum tomorrow, and I'm just really happy that you've agreed to come. And it's just going to be a fun way for us to have some fun, to enjoy something that we would never ever normally witness or attend, and do it with the wonderful race behind us.
00:16:19
Speaker 3: I'm excited that you're excited about it. Obviously, this is not this group is not my jam. There are other groups and other music you've introduced me to that I am more in line with this one. I just don't get. I don't get, I don't like. It's just not my coup of tea. I respect the hell out of it what they've been able to do, but I just this is so I'm very curious to see this stuff tomorrow.
00:16:44
Speaker 1: What are you going to ask me to go see or do at some point that I have zero interest in and that you will be really excited to show me.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: A basketball game?
00:16:56
Speaker 2: I like basketball game.
00:16:59
Speaker 1: That's not hard, and I'm trying to think of what you like that I would not be that interesting no, but this.
00:17:04
Speaker 3: Isn't a thing. It's not like this is a hobby of yours. No, this is a one off thing. Oh no, this is fun. Sorry. I think the hiking is the only consistent thing that just says it's not my jam, I don't appreciate that, and that is something that you would like to do frequently. That. But other than that, we don't. We don't have those kind of hobbies that it's true split us apart. Yeah, and if this is a one off, this is a one off, I can obviously what I'm gonna say. You'll be fine, oh with that. Oh, this is fun. It's gonna be fun.
00:17:30
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a blast and so yes, and we'll share some some photos online.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're gonna be a whole document dump about this strip.
00:17:39
Speaker 1: All right. Well, anyway, we hope that well, at least our intention will inspire you. And you know, we can all relate the fact that we don't always get it right and we don't always figure out how to prioritize that time that we need to preserve for ourselves and for the ones we love, and to not always be focused on work and duty and what we have to do. But let's find time to do things we want to do. So thank you for listening to us on this Saturday morning run. On this recovery run, I made Roebuck alongside t J.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Holmes.
00:18:11
Speaker 1: Can't wait to update y'all real soon.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: Have a great day.
