00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:05.679
Hello everybody.
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:07.599
Welcome back to Regular Good Stuff.
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:08.400
I am Iz.
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:09.759
And I'm Joe.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.160
And how are you feeling today?
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.399
Yeah, I'm feeling much better than I have felt for the last four days.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.160
Yeah, I think it has been like four days.
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.160
I've been you've been single parenting.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.920
No, I haven't been single parenting, but you've had what did you describe it as?
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.239
The boy sickness.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.120
The man flu.
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:30.480
Yeah, you've had the man flu.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:31.199
It's true.
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.359
Joe broke a few ribs probably a year or two ago, and you complained much less when you had broken ribs.
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.640
Uh I like I was a little bit tired for the last couple days.
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.560
I was on my deathbed.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.079
No.
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:55.840
The good news is that we have these Garmin watches that we swear by, and it's a pretty good indicator uh that someone is not faking it.
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.960
Your Garmin watch was very much telling us that you've been sick.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.960
If the watch had not been saying that, you would not have believed it.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.560
I would have been, yeah, it would have been less uh sympathetic.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:07.359
I'm so tired.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.319
Show me the watch.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.519
Show Show me your stress score immediately.
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.120
Prove it.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.280
And I look, look, my watch.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.400
To be fair, it was.
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.439
So Joe went on a work trip this week to New York.
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.079
It was kind of like a 36-hour whirlwind.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:29.120
Um I think thankfully for your job, you don't have to do these very often, but when you do, uh they're a little bit difficult.
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.879
And I used to be able to do these.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.560
Yeah, we're just getting older.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:41.920
Or we're operating like kind of teetering so much on the edge always that you like tip it a little bit out of balance and you're like, I can't handle this.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:42.799
What do they say?
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.159
The worst part about being 30 is you're actually 37.
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:47.200
Yes, which is hard.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.319
It is hard to realize.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:04.159
I have one more month that uh it I get to be young, two years younger.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.200
Two more years.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:06.560
No, no, no, one month.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.080
In one month, then we're one year apart.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.280
Oh yeah, your birthday's coming up.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:09.840
Yeah, it's coming up.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:10.000
Wow.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.120
Don't forget.
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.800
I never forget.
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.800
Joe has unfortunately Joe has a gauntlet of November enters.
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.000
We got married in November.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.439
My birthday is the next week, and then we enter like the holiday gauntlet, and you're just like, this is fantastic.
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:24.000
By the way.
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:24.800
You love.
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.360
I love your favorite part of the year.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.159
Oh, yeah, it's the best.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:29.199
Starting on Halloween.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.719
First of all, fall.
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.080
Everything's orange.
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:33.039
Love it.
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:38.319
It's been 9,000 degrees here, so we're not really getting in the fall zone.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.800
Everywhere else in the country, very nice.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.080
Where we live, not nice.
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:50.800
My entire feed is moms like wrapping their babies in sleeping bags and going in the stroller, and Hazel is in a tank top, just like the bright orange cheeks, the reddest she's ever been.
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.159
And we're walking at 6 a.m.
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:53.599
so that she doesn't get too hot.
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.840
Like it's so hot here.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:59.360
But once we're past this, it'll be great.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:00.000
It'll be good.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.039
Like as well, I think we pay, what do we joke about?
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.560
It's the sunshine tax.
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.759
The sunshine tax has like, I don't know if it's had inflation recently, but it's been quite sun tough.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:11.520
It's too much sunshine.
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:12.639
We can have a little bit less.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.280
Too much.
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.000
It's us.
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.080
So Southern California flowers.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.080
We need to be between what is our range?
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.719
Like maybe 60 degrees and 79, I think.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.599
I was gonna say like 73 to 76.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.120
Oh, yours is much more.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.120
I'm outside of that band, I'm complaining.
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.000
I was hoping for something like a little bit chillier.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.159
Yeah.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.560
But um, that's the San Francisco and me.
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:35.280
That's true.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.639
But yeah, the uh you said that you were like we need less digits.
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:49.599
And I was like, I don't know if we need less digits, because a nine, you know, a single digits might also wreck us, but the the high nineties and I think yesterday went into the hundreds.
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.400
Nine degrees in LA problems.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.599
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:54.560
Would be a little rough.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.199
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:55.919
Yeah.
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.479
So it's what it all that to say is we've had a tough week.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.280
It's been hot, you've been sick, I've been solo parenting.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.919
But our baby has been She's been fantastic.
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.039
I don't want to say well.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.639
I so Joe went to New York.
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.199
I was, I don't know if you can call it solo parenting if I have help from our nanny during the day.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.159
Solo knighting.
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:14.639
Counts.
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.439
Solo knighting.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.160
Counts.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:31.680
Um the first night you were away, I was feeling really, really good because I got her to fall asleep in her crib alone, which everything that I have read or seen on Instagram for parenting is like you just get them to fall asleep in their crib on their own.
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.480
And you're like, okay, it's easier said than done when they're like holding on to the bars, like they're left in jail.
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.199
But I did master it once.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.480
Um, and Hazel slept the whole night, and I was like, I am a superhero.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.199
The secret has been discovered.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.199
Joe goes away and I like crush it, and then the next night was less successful.
00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.000
But I think she's getting her molars, and so she was at like in pain.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.199
So that's why she woke up.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:09.360
But we've had two good nights in a row, thank goodness, because um Joe came back from New York, and I think it was funny because all of your texts were very positive, and you were like, Yay, I'm coming home.
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.680
Yay, I'm on the plane, like see you soon, landed, and you got home, and you like didn't that look fantastic?
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.120
And you said no words, and you were like, I am gonna die.
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.879
And you just crawled in bed and went to sleep, and I was like, oh man.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.360
And then proceeded to complain for the next two days straight.
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.480
I don't think you complained.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.879
You were just like pretty docile, and honestly, like you had to sleep for three days.
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.600
That's fair.
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.800
Um, which is good.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.079
Like you're feeling better now.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.959
It is a funny.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:44.800
So we had three days of Joe kind of trying to recover, um, and that was this week.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.480
And um, and then today, I guess yesterday you still weren't feeling great.
00:05:48.480 --> 00:06:00.319
We kind of had a slow day, and then today um we went and did our little croissant walk, got a bagel and a croissant and some coffees, and we were um gonna head home and you were like, Hey, it's my friend Brian's birthday.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.800
Like, he wants to run a five-minute mile on the track.
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.279
So we went to go walk over to cheer for them.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.199
These are these are the friends we have.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.120
These are the friends we've surrounded ourselves with.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.360
Right.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.480
He's turning 50.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.920
Happy birthday, Brian.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.759
Uh, and he wants to this year wants to run 55 minute miles.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:16.480
Very cool.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.639
Which is a cool over the course of the year.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.680
Over the course of the year, but like it's 52 weeks in a year.
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.759
Like, you gotta you gotta be on it.
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.959
So today is the first day, and we walked over the track just to kind of say hi.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.000
And it took, I don't even know if it it counts as peer pressure.
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.160
It took like a Joe, you should do a lap.
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.519
And you're like, no, no, don't make me.
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.920
And he was like, no, like come on, man, like just do the last lap.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.040
And you were like, Okay.
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:46.319
Take it off my shirt.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.199
Take off your shirt.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.000
Tie him.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.199
It did not take much.
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.439
It's like maybe you had known that that was gonna happen.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.199
I was like, can I do it?
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.800
You didn't war you warmed up like you did like some skip hops over to the side.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.759
Across the field, yeah.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:00.000
Yeah.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.600
And then you know, riff.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:02.959
Leopards just go.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:03.360
Yeah.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.279
So I guess the man flew is behind you.
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.639
Or that's gonna put you back in the hole and we're gonna have the rest of the week.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.959
I have been using this, I feel like too much of an excuse sometimes too.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.759
Like I'm 95% of the way there, but last night you're like, I got this.
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.360
And I was I did not push back.
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.639
I said, sure.
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.000
Oh, I am tired.
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.879
Oh, you're right.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.319
You please take But also Hazel slept well.
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.560
So now I'm feeling really good about my ability to get her to sleep and fall asleep for the whole night.
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.560
So you're you stepping down is really boosting my ego when Hazel sleeps well.
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.639
Also, is it I have been the problem this whole time?
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.920
You are the pushover.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.600
I do think I don't know if Hazel like knows it yet, but she knows that you will let her do stuff.
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.079
And I don't I think she has started to realize that I will not let her do as much stuff.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:01.680
Like when she starts squawking a little bit in the crib in the uh stroller, you're like, my baby.
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.639
Let me pick her up.
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.839
Let me let me hold you.
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.199
And I'm like, it's a thousand degrees.
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:05.920
I'm not holding you.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.040
Okay, you must stay in that crib in the or in the stroller in the shade.
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.079
So it is a funny Our baby needs us.
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.560
She gets away with uh a little bit more when you're around.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:17.360
As she should.
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:18.000
As she should.
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.560
Yeah.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:19.519
My baby.
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:20.560
My baby.
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.680
I will say, being back in New York, I'm very glad we don't live there anymore.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.439
Glad we had our time.
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.079
Me too.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.079
New York is a very cool place to live.
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:34.799
I think if yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't change the time that I had there.
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.600
I'm very thankful to have spent kind of our twenties there.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.279
Um you went to school in New York.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.480
I went to school in New York.
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.759
Um I went to Columbia and then I worked there for four years after.
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.279
And Joe, after going to school in Colorado, moved to New York.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:54.799
Um so kind of the fun fact that Joe and I have is we lived, I think for two years we lived three blocks away from each other.
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.519
Yep.
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:56.799
Um same gym.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.080
Just worked out at the same gym.
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.039
Same Starbucks.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.440
Same, yeah, same Starbucks, same bars, um, and we never met.
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.519
Well, y to be fair.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.399
What is the theory when we never met?
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:14.000
I think you probably saw me and had no interest.
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.000
Why would I have had no interest?
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.799
I don't know.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:24.240
So in the time, Joe was very into uh the barefoot running movement.
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:25.200
That's ridiculous.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.039
So my theory is that we were working at the same gym and you were wearing toe shoes.
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.159
So I I was never wear not in the gym.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.960
I didn't have the ability to see you if you're wearing toe shoes.
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.679
We can't be like it just puts a blinder on.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.840
I'm sad I don't have those shoes anymore.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:44.879
We had to get rid of them.
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:45.279
We did.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.679
It was hampering my ability to be attracted to you.
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.399
We moved in together, those were jettisoned.
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.519
It's it's strange that when we moved, they didn't quite make the move.
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:54.720
It's so weird.
00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:02.480
So I think my theory is if we have any single listeners, um, your person is out there.
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.320
They just might be wearing toe shoes currently.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:11.440
Or if you're single and you happen to wear toe shoes, that's the reason.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:12.320
Okay.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:12.559
Yeah.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.679
No, we're never gonna get a vibrum partnership at this point.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.679
Miss my toe shoes.
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.399
You do.
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.080
And now you have to wear shoe prisons or toe prisons like everybody else.
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:23.200
Like everybody else.
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.240
But it is funny.
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.080
I am pro barefoot shoes for our daughter.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.039
We can't be having her shoes, her feet be squished.
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:40.960
So she has the like, you know, feel the ground, very I don't know, wishy-washy little slipper shoes that are just socks that have a sole on the bottom.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.480
But you're not allowed to wear those.
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.360
I'm sorry.
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.000
I will say this for for a baby, we want her feet to keep growing.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:48.559
Absolutely.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.720
We want her to have normal sized feet.
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.799
Like not like tiny feet.
00:10:52.799 --> 00:11:01.759
As an adult, we found from our other friends, if you w wear the same kind of shoes as an adult, your feet will also keep growing.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.080
Yeah.
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:02.320
Wow.
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.720
So like I don't want to end up with size 15 shoes and just be an L.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.919
Be a duck, right?
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:10.480
At that point.
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.240
So pro babies.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.879
So I was helpful in having your feet not continue to just grow and be.
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.879
You're asking me to say thank you.
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.000
I'm still mad about this.
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:20.480
I know.
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.120
So we we lived in New York City for two years.
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:25.840
We did.
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.960
Never met each other.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:27.840
Never crossed paths.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.000
No.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.440
Did cross paths, but never met each other.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:30.480
Sure, we crossed paths.
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.159
I also think it's because you had your little like weightlifting belt in the gym.
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.799
You were like very and I was just like an elliptical girly.
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.720
I was the little cardio over on the side.
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.840
I occasionally like did some abs for vanity purposes, and you were like, We were in different lanes.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.440
At that time, we were we were growing separately.
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.000
And then we moved to LA separately.
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:53.759
Separately, a year apart.
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.080
Yeah.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.120
Um, and we met at a coffee shop after a bike ride.
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:57.600
Yeah.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.200
Um the rest was history.
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.080
The rest is history.
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:06.879
I still remember you were wearing a white Costelli skin suit and an Iron Man headband, and I was like, wow.
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:07.919
Where did those go?
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.000
I wonder where those went.
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.879
I s I feel a theme coming.
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:18.879
I don't all the things that I loved before I met you are somehow gone from my life.
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.159
We both we both uh glowed up since then, maybe.
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:22.960
We both have.
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:23.360
Yeah.
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:23.759
Yes.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.799
I have also.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.080
You did help me.
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.360
I was like very new to cycling.
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.480
You were helpful in terms of like maybe you want to get some white socks.
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:37.120
My socks were like always orange, and I had orange shoes, and it was like, hey, if you want to like ride bikes in LA, like people wear white socks and white shoes.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.919
And I was like, okay, fine.
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.519
And you said you should throw away all of the stuff you own and buy new stuff.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:41.840
Yeah.
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.120
Because I hate all the things you have.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:49.919
Well, also then I started getting free stuff, and I was like, and also can you throw in a size uh medium for my husband?
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.639
So you started getting free stuff, and then your old stuff started disappearing.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.519
Fair.
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.919
And it feels like as every good relationship.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:58.960
Compromise.
00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.759
Compromise.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:00.559
Yeah.
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:09.120
But my other favorite within the realm of Joe loving the idea of barefoot running and shoes and foot health.
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.039
My other thing is we went through a phase where you got us toe spacers.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.799
And those were also just supposed to, after a long day, we're supposed to like spread your toes out again.
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:30.159
And I think what you're supposed to do, I'm not actually sure when you're supposed to wear them, but I think you're supposed to do like maybe five minutes, and then then you know, next week you move up to 10 minutes, and you the first day that we got them, you were like, you know what?
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.080
I should just sleep in these.
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.879
What else am I doing besides sleeping?
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.200
So you are like, okay.
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.440
So we like get all cozy and med and we fall asleep.
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.440
And like, I don't know how much long it was, probably like 30 minutes later, moments later.
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.320
But long enough for me to fall asleep.
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.759
Fully fall asleep.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:53.200
And you woke up screaming in pain, and I was like, what is possibly wrong?
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.279
And you were like, my feet.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.320
My toes were too spaced.
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.519
They were not ready fully spaced out yet.
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.120
So I don't know.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.240
I think we still have those.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.519
I just don't think they get as much use.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:10.559
I don't think my feet look any different now than when I first got them, but I tried.
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.919
I think they look way better.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.799
I think they're happier.
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.600
They're spaced out more.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.759
But I haven't yeah.
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.559
It's yeah, so that is our saga.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.159
And yes, so you went to New York and you were reminiscent of when we were living there, but also thankful that we lived here.
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:32.159
And then you came back to the weather was really nice, but uh New York City is uh it's a fun place to visit, tough place to live.
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.279
Yeah, I agree with that.
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:42.159
I think the other thing that we've been dealing with this week is um I pinched a nerve in my back uh in December when I was getting back into running.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:49.600
Um and it was kind of at the time I didn't really know what it felt like, everything was kind of still moving around because the ligaments are still loose.
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.759
Um and at the time it was pretty debilitating.
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.879
It got to the fact that like I couldn't walk at all.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:02.399
Um and after I got the nerve unpinched, it took probably like five, six weeks to be able to walk uh comfortably again, which is scary.
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.919
Um at the time Hazel was five-ish months old.
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:06.559
She was new, yeah.
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.440
She was new.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.399
It was like four or five months old.
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:14.960
And you had pinched it because you were walking so much with her on your front.
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.879
No, it was because I started to run again.
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:23.759
And I got really excited and like immediately went for a five-mile run and then it entered it, which is as someone just overdid it.
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:35.200
But I think I have now really enjoyed getting back into running, and then this week kind of felt the twinge again last week, and I was like, I this time around, I don't have the option to not be able to walk.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:40.240
Like Hazel is so fast and running around, and you have to kind of be bent over and chasing her.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:40.879
Right.
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:46.320
Like I don't have the option to let it get as bad as it used to, or it was that one time.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:57.120
So um, I was a little bit more diligent this week about kind of using time when our nanny was here to go to the Cairo and kind of try to get everything back in order and then do some exercises to kind of stabilize things.
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.279
Um but yeah, it's been that part has been a little nerve-wracking.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:09.600
I think I've gone easier on the bike and done a lot more sauna and cold plunge and kind of contrast therapy to try and get things to settle down.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:16.080
And this is a new leaf for you because I think previously you've had the mentality of I'm just gonna work through everything.
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:22.639
It's also, I think, because even when it was really bad before, I could still ride without pain, which is interesting.
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.919
I don't know, there's something about the angle that I am on my bike that it's okay.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:36.320
Um and so I think it was one of those where it was like, I'm training for unbound, and like that's gonna come up soon, and it's fine if I can't walk because like I can just continue to train and I'll be fine.
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.799
Um and then when I'm not training, like I can just lay on the floor and play with our baby and do tummy time.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.799
Um but now I think our lives are just like it's more active generally.
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:58.960
Um and so with that, and if I don't be because I don't have a race coming up, you're like, okay, there is kind of more holistic view that I need to take on this, where it's take care of yourself and make sure that you can be the mom that you want to be.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.639
And with a small child, life fitness is real.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.440
It's real.
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:03.840
Yeah.
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.319
There's a lot of time on your knees, there's a lot of bending over, there's a lot of running bending over.
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.039
It's it's funny how much it demands just to keep up with a small human.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:24.880
And it's also funny, like once you have like a little twinge, I even this is just now turning into a podcast of what are all my ailments, but I got like mom's thumb momentarily, and I was like, oh my god.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.920
Mom's thumb.
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.880
Mommy thumb, I think it's the medical term, mommy thumb.
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.160
That was a scary couple days.
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.519
It was a scary couple days.
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.359
I was like taping it, but it is.
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.559
It's like because you've been lifting your child too much, like your ligaments and your thumb start hurting.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.240
And I actually have a friend that really struggled with it.
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.119
Um, and it took her about a year and she finally had to have surgery.
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.839
And so I was like texting her, being like, What did it feel like?
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.359
And I'm texting all my other friends, being like, Did anyone else have mom thumb?
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:52.000
How do you get rid of it?
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.359
I was icing it and crazy.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.599
But again, you like very much take for granted when you're healthy, just lifting your child with no pain.
00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.000
Right.
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:02.240
Um, it's kind of the same as so like every little thing, I think similar to you.
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.720
One day we will talk about your kettlebell routine that you're getting stronger to to help your back.
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.400
But life fitness.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.599
Life fitness.
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.519
Um, no, that was your segue.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.599
Is that we're not gonna talk about it.
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.920
You're just gonna keep dangling the garret.
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.519
We have a few listeners that are ready to.
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:20.720
I bought a kettlebell.
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.759
We will talk about it never.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.720
Perfect.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.480
It's mostly just swinging the kettlebell in movements that you do with your child.
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.119
Right.
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:30.400
Seems good.
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.160
But yeah, so I think this week has been a lot more of uh kind of sauna and cold plunge.
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:45.759
And the sauna is something we put we got a few years ago, and it's been we have one in our backyard, which is really, really nice because it's something also when Hazel is sleeping, like you can jump in there.
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.960
Um and it was something I think when I was pregnant that I really missed.
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.079
You can't do that.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.480
And you were always, you were like, you can use the cold plunge.
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.519
But our our sauna adventure was it it was fun.
00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.279
Adventure is a good way to put it.
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:04.880
Because it started it started with you saying I'm gonna race Leadville.
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:05.440
Yeah.
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.880
Which is at 10,000 feet, 100 mile bike race.
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.519
Yeah.
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:10.559
Horrible.
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.839
We live we lived at, I think, at nine feet at the time.
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.359
Like we were like seven blocks of the beach.
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:19.359
Like a small wave would have taken our way our house out.
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:25.359
So we were like, okay, how do I train for an event that starts at 10,000 feet and goes to almost 13,000 feet?
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:26.000
Crazy.
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.519
Um and we did a lot of research into heat training and basically getting gorgeous.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.119
But originally we wanted the altitude tent.
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:35.680
That's the royal we also.
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.440
Joe had had pipe dreams of getting one.
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.759
The idea is so it is cool.
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:42.880
I think the altitude tent.
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.319
Don't do anything different.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.559
Just sleep in this altitude tent.
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.759
And we had a friend that lent us theirs.
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.839
And it was weird.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.880
We texted him.
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.400
We said, hey Julian, we're thinking about getting an altitude tent.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.799
Do you mind if we borrow he said yes.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.680
The bubbles haven't even stopped yet.
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.519
And we were like, that's weird.
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.319
Why was he scoring?
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.160
You may have it and honestly give it back whenever you want to.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.240
We and we were like, great.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.720
Weird that you said yes so quickly.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.279
But thank you.
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.359
He must really know that I'm taking Leadbill seriously.
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:15.599
Yeah.
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.039
We thought he was looking out for us.
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.960
We set this thing up.
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.039
I don't know if it was the worst few days of our lives, but it was close.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.319
It was wild.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:24.960
I think so.
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:31.440
Basically, this thing is a tent that just a plastic tent that goes over your entire bed.
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.160
Um and it it doesn't suck oxygen out.
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.640
I think it adds uh nitrogen.
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:39.200
Nitrogen.
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.839
So it reduces the oxygen concentration.
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.799
So yeah, so the it just basically I don't think we even did we get to 10,000 feet?
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.160
We started at like eight.
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.279
I don't know.
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.240
Anyway, so we started and having two people in this tent.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.440
Well, it was it was at our old house where we didn't have air conditioning.
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.160
No air conditioning.
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.119
And it was like, it wasn't super hot, wasn't super cold.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.519
It was it was comfortable to sleep with like a window open.
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:06.400
Because Leadville is in August, so we probably started this in what maybe May or June.
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.759
So it wasn't crazy hot yet.
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.160
Yeah.
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.640
But this tent, holy moly.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.000
You were in a ziploc bag.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.400
You're in a ziploc bag, and you are trying to sleep there, and you and I are both just like on top of the covers, like, oh my gosh.
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.839
It was mostly the heat.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.279
The heat was horrible.
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.200
Like, and I think I think we lasted for five nights, and I think you went to the couch three nights.
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:27.920
Right.
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.880
And and we we were just like, we gotta get rid of this thing.
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.480
It's ruining our relationship.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.960
We can't sleep in the same bed.
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.160
We get up in the morning and we're furious at each other.
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:43.920
The worst part also is like if I had to go to the bathroom to like in the middle of the night, you like zip it really fast and you're like zipping.
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.119
I'm losing altitude.
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:50.960
And then like you're outside breathing regular temperature air, and you're like, oh.
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:56.720
And then you go back in and you like unzip really fast, and it's like 30 degrees hotter in this thing.
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.359
It got to the point where we were I was.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.680
Nervous to go to sleep because it was so miserable.
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.319
So we said, we'll figure out something else.
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:06.960
That's out.
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.759
Back to the drawing board.
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:08.559
We can't do that.
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.279
We gave it.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:10.880
What's funny is we tried to give it back.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.039
We tried to give it back to Julian, and Julian was like, I don't want it.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.759
I'm good.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.480
I don't want it.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.759
You give it to somebody else.
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.079
And then our other friend David was like, hey, does anybody have an altitude tent?
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.200
We're like, David, here.
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:24.240
We do.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:25.440
It's actually on your doorstep.
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:26.400
We've already dropped it off.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.079
It's this thing that one person owns that they're trying to get rid of to any of their friends.
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.799
So we said, we still need to train the other thing.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.720
Honestly at that point, I was like, I'll just suffer.
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.279
It's fine.
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:40.960
And you were like, try and figure this out.
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:41.440
Yeah.
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:54.480
So you did a little bit more research and we looked into basically how heat acclimation can kind of mimic a little bit of altitude training, basically helps you increase your blood plasma if you do it correctly.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:59.599
So you're like, okay, we are gonna get a sauna and we're gonna get a sauna in our backyard.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.880
Aaron Ross Powell Cause we originally just filling up a bathtub with warm water.
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.359
And the idea was you work out.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:09.920
So you either go for a ride or you go for a run.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:16.240
And then when you get home, you try to get in the warm water as fast as you can.
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.839
And then sit there for like 10 minutes.
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.559
And it is interesting.
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.799
I've never really been like a cozy bath type person, like bubble bath lady.
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:33.119
And so the only real baths that I've done as an adult are these like crazy fever mimicking ones where you make it hot enough and you're like up to your neck, like laying there.
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.200
And it's wild how hard it gets.
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.680
It's hard.
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:41.599
Like your heart rate gets up to, I was tracking it on my garment, and I was like, damn, your heart rate gets up to like 130 laying in a bath.
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:42.000
Yeah.
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:46.400
Um and I think with that also, like part of it is not drinking water.
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:53.039
So you do that, and then you kind of sit and sweat for the next 30 minutes and still don't drink water.
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.519
And that's kind of like how the adaptation goes.
00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:00.319
Um but that was a lot of water, and I think both of us like enjoyed sauna.
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:01.519
We have a few friends that have them.
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.000
Yeah.
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:11.759
And we were we were basically saying the the bath is good, but I would like to do this maybe in a little bit more enjoyable way as well.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:12.559
Totally.
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.000
A little bit less psychotic.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.240
We're like trying to go down the levels of psychoness.
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:20.240
But I I do think that the heat stress helped.
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.960
It helps.
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.519
It helps.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.039
It for sure helps.
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:32.960
And it either helps because of heat shock protein, or by not drinking water after in a 30-minute window, your body wants to build more plasma.
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.559
And then at some point, I do think there's a red blood cell piece of it.
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:44.079
But I think the heat, if you add heat in our experience, three to four days a week, I think it's a meaningful difference.
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:44.559
I agree.
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:44.880
Yeah.
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:51.759
And I think like even I think after and using the heat, like I am pretty good at racing in the heat.
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:54.160
It's one of those that I always hope that Unbound is hot.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.240
Like people kind of tend to detonate.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.880
And when you've been doing sauna and heat training and things like that, like it is pretty fun to still feel good when you look and you're like, wow, it's 110 right now.
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.599
And I'm still right.
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.839
You are so much better at this than I am.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.559
It's sh it's amazing to me.
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:13.519
I think maybe because I I feel like you have more of a you have more human to cool down.
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.559
I'm just smaller.
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.119
I'll take that as a compliment.
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:17.759
It is a compliment.
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.160
Okay.
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:18.319
Yeah.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.279
Thanks.
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.319
So you're bigger than me.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:22.960
It is, yeah.
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.000
Okay, yeah.
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.400
That's true.
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.440
I do way more than you.
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.319
Yeah.
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:32.079
I think I think you are just really good at cooling yourself.
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:33.519
And I'm really bad at it.
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.640
Aaron Powell, except for I will be the first to admit I am not good at existing in the heat.
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:46.799
And we we when I was pregnant, we did not have AC in our house, and I left um to go up to do sea otter.
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:55.759
Um and you took that opportunity to say, we should probably get AC in our house because I have a wife that is already grumpy before she was pregnant and hot.
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:57.359
Is that how you remember this story?
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:58.799
That's how you remember it?
00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.039
Yeah.
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.559
I remember the story.
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.480
Joe, I'm going to sea otter.
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.319
When I get back.
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.440
There's probably C in this house.
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.880
I am leaving.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:17.519
It was if it wasn't exactly that, it was very close to it.
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:18.079
I'm leaving.
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:19.279
I'm never coming back from San Francisco.
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.880
Call me when you get a C in our house and I'll come back.
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.079
It's probably maybe that was more accurate.
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:26.720
That's fine.
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.279
I'm sure it was.
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.799
I think it was like, hey, my my wife, I should probably do this for her.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:32.160
That was a really nice gesture.
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:32.720
Yeah.
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:34.319
I love you so much.
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.039
And here's some air conditioning.
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.359
And if we hadn't done that, our life would be way worse.
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.000
I agree.
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:51.920
I think it was even when we were coming home from the hospital with Hazel, it was this crazy heat wave in August, and we looked, you have like the app on our phone, and you were like, our house is 89 degrees.
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.519
I think that did happen a few times.
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:59.839
We like got home from dinner and I looked at the thermostat and I was like, it's 89 degrees inside of our home.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.480
The house gets pretty hot.
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.359
The house is hot.
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:12.640
I I do think that we live in Santa Monica, where historically you hadn't needed air conditioning.
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:16.240
And so they build these houses without real insulation.
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.440
And so they're the the temperature swings are are real.
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.079
Crazy.
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:24.400
So if you don't have heat and air conditioning now, I don't know how people live.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.640
It's it it's shocking.
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:28.079
But we're fine now.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.119
We're fine now.
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.680
Everything is fine.
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.559
Crisis averted.
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:32.079
We are all air conditioning in our house.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.279
Huge complainers, and that's just the way it is.
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.480
But we haven't got to move.
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.160
So anyway, this is a very long way of saying.
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.079
Then we decided we needed a sauna.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:40.880
Okay.
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.680
Yes.
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:46.799
And Joe was fantastic, found this sauna that was in the valley, was like, I'm gonna do it.
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:48.160
No free ads, no free ads.
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.640
What?
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:50.400
No free ads, but these guys are.
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:51.119
But they're right.
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:52.240
They were in the valley.
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:58.559
You were like, I'm just gonna go rent a U-Haul, I'm gonna go pick it up, and we're gonna build it in our backyard.
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:05.599
And the best part about this was this is just an episode of all the things that Joe has tried.
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:11.680
But this is Joe's in a new phase where he had discovered what was called monk fasting.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.519
And do you want to tell them about monk fasting?
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:17.519
I'm feeling attacked.
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:23.680
It's I feel like this is He was not wearing toe shoes, but not at the time.
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:24.160
No.
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.359
So monk fasting that you had researched into it.
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:29.680
You said it's this thing I've decided.
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.960
I'm gonna try it.
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.680
On Sunday night, I'm gonna stop eating.
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:38.000
I'm not gonna eat all day Monday, and I'm not gonna eat until Tuesday morning.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:43.599
And this 36 hours of not eating, I'm gonna have the most brain clarity I've ever had.
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:44.240
Right.
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.440
Uh what is it?
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.519
Uh aphasia?
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.880
Uh autophagy.
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.920
Autophagy.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.640
Nice.
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:56.319
Um, so my body, because it doesn't have food, is gonna eat all of the bad cells in my body.
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:56.720
Yeah.
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.200
And everything's gonna autophagy.
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:09.839
I don't know if that's the word, but it's meanwhile, my Mondays, I'm like the worst at my job, the crankiest person to be around.
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.799
You came home and you were like, I have so much time, I don't have to think about what getting what I need to get for lunch.
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:16.799
I just cranked through my work all day.
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:17.839
Look at all this.
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:19.119
We don't even have to make dinner tonight.
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:20.480
And I was like, I'm having dinner.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:24.640
This is not fun for me to just eat dinner while you watch me with your little glass of water.
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.240
Like this is crazy.
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.720
Anyway, the day that we decided to.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.759
I think you didn't have a few years.
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.319
Three or four times.
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.400
Three or four times till you were and this story is why I stopped.
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.279
Yeah.
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.559
So we get you go to pick up the sauna.
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:40.960
Yep.
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:47.119
Monday, it was like Monday, Monday afternoon, drive a U-Haul to the valley, get this thing, bring it back.
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:48.880
I'm like going smoothly.
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:50.400
Going super smooth.
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:54.000
And you at this point have been fasting for 24 hours.
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.400
Right.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:59.440
And we as a couple are gonna try to build this sauna in the backyard.
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.119
In the backyard by ourselves, and one of us has not eaten food in 24 hours.
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.480
What could go wrong?
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:14.400
And I think you had about four brain cells left, and it was the craziest experience that I've ever had trying to like figure out what was objectively like a very simple puzzle.
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.359
Like it was a square.
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:20.640
Like you put the sides up, you put the roof on, like the holes were already drilled, we were fine, we were ready.
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.000
It was, yeah.
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:30.319
So And I looking back on it, I don't quite remember exactly why it was so horrible.
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.319
But it it was one of the bigger fights you and I have ever gotten into.
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:36.720
Eat some food.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:37.839
This is crazy.
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:38.880
Don't talk to me.
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:40.400
Let's just finish this.
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:48.240
So at the end of it, we had a sauna built, and we agreed that I was never gonna do this monk fast again.
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.640
Yeah.
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:48.799
Okay.
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:50.079
No more monk fasting.
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:50.799
That was the end of that.
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.039
Yeah.
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.839
Um and it's we compromised and did what you wanted to do.
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.599
So But the good news about all this compromising is I will let you try it first.
00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:59.359
I will sometimes try it.
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.960
I did try it one day, and I agree, like it is wild.
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:10.720
It's the only time I've ever not eaten for 36 hours, and it is interesting how your body does like forget that it's hungry.
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.319
Like it stops like giving you hunger cues, which was weird.
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:20.079
Um, but then the next day, even when you start eating, like you have no ability to do anything athletically.
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:20.480
Right.
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.559
Like you're just absolutely smoked.
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.920
That day that you're eating, like or not eating, you kind of feel okay.
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:28.000
It was the day after that you felt really bad.
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.240
So I was like, for me, like this is not an option.
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.519
Like, I can't do this.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.519
Um, and I think it was November time.
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.079
So it was like off season, which is the only reason that I did try it.
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:40.480
I was kind of like, we can kind of fiddle with this, but it is an interesting thing.
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.920
You go down that road and you're like, oh, like food is fuel, and we know that.
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:50.000
And like, yes, you can do these like crazy fasts, and I'm sure that they have some purpose in life.
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:51.359
Maybe autophagy works.
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:52.240
Who knows?
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.640
But I think yeah, monks actually.
00:31:54.640 --> 00:32:07.119
But uh yeah, for us and trying to exist and have a regul for you, have a regular job that like deals with numbers and like you have to actually be pretty sharp in your job, or dealing with power tools and building a sauna.
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:11.279
It was like, this is something that like we need food for your brain to be functional.
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.160
So that was the story behind our sauna.
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.279
And I still think about it sometimes where I'm like, man, good thing we got through that because that was a rough one.
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:20.240
That was a rough one.
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.119
I also think uh you talk about food.
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:28.880
We have a small baby and we're trying to expose her to lots of different foods.
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.519
Yes.
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.880
The problem we're having is you and I eat like five things.
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:36.559
Aaron Powell We're very happy in routine.
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:36.960
Yes.
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:38.960
We eat this at like we eat the same thing.
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:46.720
It's funny, my taste buds change changed a ton when I was pregnant, and I all of my favorite foods like didn't weren't appetizing anymore.
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.880
It was tough.
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:58.319
And I think it was one of those, it's interesting, everything that I read, I think the placenta is what makes your weird cravings, and so the placenta is comes from half of your DNA.
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:05.440
Um and so I started to like a lot of the foods that you liked, and like you don't I love Greek yogurt, and you do not like Greek yogurt.
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.000
I do not.
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.400
And Greek yogurt when I was pregnant was disgusting.
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.680
And you were like, oh, welcome.
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:11.279
Like you have regular taste buds now.
00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.759
Like nobody actually likes Greek yogurt, it's disgusting.
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.039
So I was like, oh, you like pizza now?
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:18.319
So weird.
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:20.880
Welcome to the rest of humanity.
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.759
And every time you'd come home and I'd be like, We need to go get pizza.
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:25.119
You're like, feels like a trap.
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:26.319
Feels like a trap.
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.480
You've never asked me to go do this before.
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.680
And now we're back.
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.960
That doesn't happen anymore.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:31.680
I know.
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:33.359
Special occasions.
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:35.039
They do have good AC.
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.599
We have been going to pizza because our pizza place has good AC.
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:37.839
I agree.
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.240
I will give them a free shout-out because it's the best.
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.039
It is the best.
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:46.960
Um yeah, so but our baby, we're trying to expose her to foods.
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.680
It's been hard.
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.960
The thing that's saving us is this hot bar.
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:51.599
Whole foods.
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:57.519
Yeah, which we call the corona bar because in Corona they nixed the hot bar real fast.
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:07.039
Um and and we will say when it came back, like when the hot bar came back, we knew COVID was over.
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:08.000
Yeah, it was.
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.079
We were like, we're back.
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.079
We can use the hot bar.
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:20.960
But yes, we have it is an interesting, I think the I don't know, baby apps or whatever, starting solids is like you should try a hundred foods.
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.199
Your baby should try a hundred foods before they turn one.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.360
And I'm like, a hundred foods?
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.920
Like I haven't eaten in a hundred foods.
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:28.960
I don't know.
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:37.519
I I don't know if I could name a hundred foods, but yes, this Whole Foods hot bar has been nice because you're like two sweet potatoes and like three green beans and one asparagus.
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.760
Because she inevitably, whenever I was cooking her food, like we eat like one and you throw the rest on the ground.
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:48.400
Or like so, and it is one of those where like with babies you have to try everything six times or things like that.
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:49.519
So it has been good.
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:59.360
Um, but our secret weapon has been pearled couscous and pesto and cheese, and she houses that.
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.360
And if she eats a lot of that, she will sleep.
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.280
It's one of those shout out Gideon.
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:03.920
Yeah.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:04.800
First time.
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.159
We went to a friend's house and he cooked that for us for dinner.
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:10.159
And we were like, oh, Hazel should try this.
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:16.320
Uh add whatever that is, 100 three more foods to the does pesto count as a food group?
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.239
That has that's my other thing.
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:19.599
Pesto has a lot of ingredients.
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.199
So, like Yeah, agree.
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:26.000
I think it's mostly you're trying not to have a picky eater as a toddler because like when they're little, they'll try anything.
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:36.719
Um, so I think we're still in that happy zone where we're trying to have her have a lot of stuff, but we do have like a lot of the basics, and I'm sure our nanny is like, and I'm feeding her cottage cheese again and eggs with cheese.
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.880
And we're like, yeah, and it works.
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.000
Give me a break.
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:41.599
I don't really know what else.
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.199
So any advice on that?
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:47.440
Yeah, let us know if you have any advice on terms of like how to expose your baby to more foods.
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:48.719
Um successfully.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:49.440
That would be great.
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:50.639
We're doing the best that we can.
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:51.440
We are trying.
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:52.159
But yeah.
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:58.000
Um, and I want to say we have gone, it is 36 minute minutes into this podcast, and Hazel Basil is still sleeping.
00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:59.280
It's been a huge victory.
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.079
Huge win.
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.679
And it's so hot outside that the neighbors are not playing outside.
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:05.440
So there's one good thing for this heat.
