Speaker 1You were so on brand with the olives, the martini, that was my first time having a what is it called?
Speaker 2Dirty martini. Dirty martini. That was my first time having a what. What is it called dirty martini?
Speaker 1the olives were bomb, yes, but you were sucking them on and on I mean they were good, but then the drink was? It was just salt, it was like salt water yeah like ocean water yeah like you, almost like it's like when you were like at the beach.
Speaker 2When you like, take a little bit of ocean water by accident, yeah, and then you get diarrhea. You get diarrhea that night no, oh no.
Speaker 1Just if you of ocean water by accident, yeah, and then you get diarrhea. Did you get diarrhea that night from your martini? Oh no.
Speaker 2Just if you drink ocean water because it has so much salt in it, you get diarrhea.
Speaker 1You know what? You're teaching me so many new things this year. I'm shocked that you've never had a martini in your 33 years of life.
Speaker 2I'm just not a martini drinker. I just I'm not Like I a martini drinker I just yeah, I'm not like I like what I like. I'm not gonna drink something, yeah, that I don't like. Yeah, you know, that thing that your grandma gave me, was it the cosmo? Oh, yeah, that was good. Is that a martini?
Speaker 1yeah, so technically like a traditional martini. Think of james bond with his gin martini. It's like vermouth, like that's like a classic. Like you know, there's vodka martinis. But now we've evolved into like being basic bitches, yeah, into like cosmos apple martini, chocolate martini. Those are all like fruity beveragey, like like deserty martinis but I don't consider them as like a bartender mixologist person.
Speaker 2I think of them as not really like a martini yeah they're in a martini glass, served up so I didn't see you this morning at orange theory I know I was just in the office early in the morning.
Speaker 1I mean, I will say I've been a little bit reluctant, like when I was in orange theory the beginning I was like every single day now I've been kind of slacking. You've been taking the the lead, the reins here with the OTF. I could see your body transforming.
Speaker 2Oh, thank you. I mean I'm just enjoying it. I'm glad to be starting to feel like myself again.
Speaker 1The dopamines are, you know, instilled You're happier. I could tell you're like a little glowy.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think that when you work out it gets some circulation going and it definitely gives you a natural looking glow yeah, I mean not natural looking.
Speaker 1I mean, it is a natural glow, right, and I know you look more natural with it because before you look like, really like some kind of like terrible, I know, I just look terrible yeah, you just like look so fake.
Speaker 2I know even like the extensions and stuff like you're so basic, so this is what you don't do to a girl.
Speaker 1I'm kidding, I did disclose the extensions and the botox but it's not something I'm gonna bring up all the time. I'm bringing it up as a joke. It's not funny anymore.
Speaker 2No it's not funny anymore. You know that like friend song I just felt so good to like get up burn my breakfast I burned my breakfast, you know things are going great.
Speaker 1You're so cute.
Speaker 2You burned your breakfast and then I've you know, it's like you're always stuck in second gear, but I feel like I'm in sixth gear.
Speaker 1Baby I'm like cruising, so I feel great today I know you're flying on that 79 to get to the wild wild wax.

Speaker 1No, maybe some haunted houses we're gonna be doing some haunted houses fright night at kennywood. Well, I do feel like the energy is buzzing. I'm liking this, alani yeah, I'm really tasting like the caramel you noticed that there was like this big blast of like celsius everywhere, and now these things like I know.
Speaker 2So that's the thing it's like. I was like what is this?
Speaker 1because everyone is talking about alani yes, and it's kind of like a knockoff celsius you know I haven't done energy drinks in over 10 years you know what, maybe we shouldn't start. I mean, do we really?
Speaker 2I'm not going to start. I was just like trying to get the fall vibes going.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah, and it is considered a mocktail. I mean, you can make a mocktail out of this.
Speaker 2This is really cute a mocktail is whatever you want it to be. It doesn't have to be like you know a copycat of a specific drink exactly it's whatever makes you feel good alani witch's brew.
Speaker 1It is 15 calories per serving. It is sodium 180 milligrams total carbs five grams. Very low, zero sugar. So we're good on that front. But you get those other people that are really specific and they're like okay, what's the sweetener in it? What's the faux sweetener? That's not really good for you, but I don't see anything on here yeah, it's, it's a witch's brew. That's why but yeah, that's it, I do I do have like a psa what's that?
Speaker 2um for people out there. Close your blinds at night oh okay, I heard you talk about.
Speaker 1I told you about this.
Speaker 2So I've been like walking a lot lately. Just I, I love walking. I used to walk all the time and, yeah, I've been taking advantage, like when my husband's home, we either walk together or I like, have him with the kids and I walk do you force them to walk? Um, I mean, it's not his idea yeah, yeah but I was walking at night because I just wanted to, like, I need something to do at night. If I'm not doing something productive, I'm doing something destructive.
Speaker 1So it's like, seriously does that mean that you're boozing after dark well, it could be.
Speaker 2It could be.
Speaker 2Oh, like I'm bored it's so easy to pop a bottle of wine right, so easy but I'm not trying to take the easy way no so I was like you know I'm gonna go for a little night walk in the neighborhood, so I'm walking around and you know there's these people on their couch having sex and their window is wide open and I got like a front row show oh my god. So this was like a hot couple that you were like damn, you know I was I, as soon as I saw you know when you get like that second hand embarrassment like I, immediately looked away uh-huh and walked faster, but it's like wow, that's kind of hard you're in your living room like on your couch and like it's away from the window and your window's wide open and the lights are on and it's dark outside.
Speaker 1That's kind of weird.
Speaker 2Can we use our brains?
Nudity, Olympics, and Procreation
Speaker 1Yeah, but you know what that makes me think they wanted to be watched.
Speaker 2Maybe or maybe they were just so in the moment or maybe they were boozing and they just couldn't think.
Speaker 1I mean, I'm sure you and your husband definitely got down in the like living room and forgot that the blinds were open.
Speaker 2I mean it's, it's possible could happen to anybody, it's just so that's why this is a psa right now close your blinds, close your damn blinds at night.
Speaker 1Yeah, because there's gonna be people walking around and I don't know. I feel like they might have wanted you to look, or somebody some people are like that yeah, yeah, I'm definitely one of those. What would?
Speaker 2it be like um. So they'd be like exhibitionist likes to show oh, there are, yeah, yeah, so that's like an exhibitionist and then what's the other one, the voyeurism.
Speaker 1So like, if somebody's a voyeur, they like to watch it. So you clearly are not a voyeur, you did not want to see a voyeur, they like to watch it. So you clearly are not a voyeur, you did not want to see that shit?
Speaker 2yeah, or like a peeping tom, is that like a little voyeur is?
Speaker 1I never heard that word yeah, peeping tom, peeping peter or whatever. I mean, I just think in some weird way like I don't like search for it, I'm not like, oh my god, I need to see like a couple. But like when I was in new york in the meatpacking district, there is the standard hotel that people are, notorious floor-to-ceiling windows and they're like the like you've seen women at, like the far up there they're like on the window like hans, she's getting really behind damn okay.
Speaker 2So there's a. There's different types of people. I'm gonna say I'm gonna break it down to two types of people. There's the people that just walk around their house completely naked yeah, and then there's the people that have the bathrobe.
Speaker 1You put a bathrobe on oh okay, but you like nothing underneath right yeah, nothing.
Speaker 2Underneath you're a bathroom.
Speaker 1I'm a bathrobe girl, okay, yeah, yeah I know, like with the ex they did not like naked house. But like I love a love, a naked house, Like I'm like, if you're like couple, yeah, or maybe not even I won't say like we're not going to be ageist yeah, but like I don't know. If you're like just, I mean not maybe every single day, Maybe it would be a little exhausting to just be nude.
Speaker 2After you get a shower like yeah.
Speaker 1You don't want to be sitting on the couch without, like some undies.
Speaker 2I would say, yeah, you need a bathrobe on that you can tuck under or underwear to sit on the couch and maybe a bathroom's kind of sexier, well, even just getting like water at night, like do you go naked or do you put a bathrobe on?
Speaker 1Well, you know now that I'm living with people, I'm not going to be like naked Because you sleep naked right because you sleep naked, right, so I don't as much anymore because you okay, because I'm living with people so like I don't really want them, like just in case there was like an emergency, or like I'm just like I don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1But there'll be times that I'm like, okay, I definitely need to sleep naked. But then I'm like I don't know. I think if I have like, once I'm back in my own place again. Oh, are you? Okay, I just didn't?
Speaker 2I almost like got a nip slip, I think oh shit, be careful.
Speaker 1I I think if I was a girl I'd be totally like slutty, sophisticated slut yeah, like I definitely want to just like show off. Like the bod, I'd want to like show off the tiggle bitties right, that's just like who I envision. So for me, like I am attracted to, like people that like to show off a lot like skin and like you know, like I don't know, like there is a way there's, like certain materials and certain like fashion designs that like can be sexy and sophisticated, don't?
Speaker 2you think, are you getting a little head rush from this?
Speaker 1yeah I am I'm talking like a mile a minute because it's so fucking good like do you ever feel like you're just gonna like pass out because? It's too much. You know what? I've been a caffeine addict ever since your husband in middle school.
Speaker 2He got me hooked to starbucks.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean we just like I think we were in eighth grade and we were going to fucking starbucks yeah, so did you watch the paralympics? I didn't, but you told me that you popped in and you were like damn.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I watched the Paralympics and there's one.
Speaker 1Which is, you know, handicapped, disabled Olympics.
Speaker 2Yeah, I am a super fan of Hunter Woodhull. He won gold for the 400 meter.
Speaker 1Really.
Speaker 2Yeah, his leg from the knees down. He has the prosthetic and he is actually married to a woman who won gold in the long jump in the Olympics, like the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Speaker 1Yes, oh my gosh. So he's married to the woman who won gold.
Speaker 2She does the long jump. Her name's Tara Davis Woodhull. Oh my goodness, so like this couple both won gold and I just thought that was incredible.
Speaker 1That is so cool to have like a gold winning couple.
Speaker 2Right Damn Talk about athletics to the max. I follow him on Instagram. I've been following him on Instagram for years because he's like super cute.
Speaker 1Oh yeah. And he is really cute. You showed me a photo.
Speaker 2Yeah, and they're like a hot couple you know I was drawn to them and I was following them, and then they both won gold.
Speaker 1It's like amazing I mean, can you imagine them procreating and what their kids would be like? Definitely athletic definitely adorable yeah, hunter and tara.
Confidence, Driving, and Marilyn
Speaker 2They met at a track meet in idaho, apparently I don't know who approached you so hunter.
Speaker 1He was born with fibular hemimelia hemimelia, I've never heard of that, so it's a congenital condition where the fibula bone is either short or missing.
Speaker 1When he was 11 months old, both of his legs were amputated to improve his quality of life when you do hear these stories and how they just like you know not let them get that down and like anytime that we come up through an obstacle or some type of you know heart ache or problem and you're like listen, you have to remember there are people that have it way more difficult oh my gosh.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, it says here that doctors weren't even sure he would walk one day, right, and here he is, sprinting and winning a gold medal crazy. Right when you set your mind to something, you can make it happen yeah, yeah, honestly, it's definitely inspirational, so I did want to just touch on that, highlight them.
Speaker 1They're just amazing athlete you know you're bringing me back to our old days wonder why we both wanted to do track and like college and cross country and college I think it made us feel good. Yeah, I think we just thought we're so like obsessed with it.
Speaker 2Well, there's a camaraderie involved like the thought of being in a sorority wasn't so much what I wanted, but the thought of being a teammate, like on a team right, that's what I was used to and loved, yeah, and grew up doing so exactly that was really important to me.
Speaker 1You have to really have a great mindset and crazy work ethic yes to pass your classes and train as hard as you do in a college sport. We were super driven and focused because you know it was athletics and then know it was also the studies. That being said, it was way more productive being like, healthy and in shape than being in a sorority or fraternity.
Speaker 2I mean, I feel like the fraternities are like crazy, just drinking, hazing all the time. Oh yeah, I know the hazing part is getting better, yeah.
Speaker 1I know. That's why I feel like today, like today, like you know, doing this like pod with you has really, like, just allowed me to be myself, because I've always been like a fucking pervert and like a little bit like of a rebel.
Speaker 1But like I've always felt like I had to keep that, like you know, catholicism or that, like you know that good boy mentality, to make sure my family was like, okay, he's gotta be like the quintessential, like good son, don't be like inappropriate, you know, don't be like advertising, like you know super, like naughtiness or whatever.
Speaker 2And I'm just like I want to be me right, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1So on our drive over here you almost we are so three pedestrians well, what's with them just walking out in front of you? But anyways you're scared to drive in the city.
Speaker 2I'm so scared to drive in the city. I'm afraid I'm gonna hit somebody because I don't know where I'm going. So I'm like looking at the gps you're directionally challenged too, I am.
Speaker 1I'm not gonna lie about that right and um, so we were like we did not prepare for today like we totally thought that we were just going to walk into a studio and film. We just sometimes think that people just do rearrange their schedule for us.
Speaker 2That's probably what people think. That's totally what people think we think.
Speaker 1But really, we're just not organized.
Speaker 2Anyways, we walk in and the studio's booked, so we had to come over. I don't even know who the senator is. Do you know the senator?
Speaker 1I don't either. Oh yeah, this is terrible, that's bad. We need to learn these things we do. Oh my god, like I feel so stupid.
Speaker 2Well, we, are, but anyways we're driving over here and I, like I, just have so many fears with driving okay yeah and then I heard the other day I don't have a electric vehicle, so I don't have a lithium battery, right, right. But what I heard now is electric vehicles. If there's a lithium battery, it's so heavy that guardrails can't technically like stop them. Like they can go through a guardrail, because guardrails are old structures, correct.
Speaker 1Like that's crazy.
Speaker 2Well then I'm like, oh my gosh. So if a car with a lithium battery hits my vehicle like that's gonna impact my vehicle way worse than like a normal vehicle so yes I'm just like, oh my gosh that is little scary To have more things to worry about.
Speaker 1I know Well, you've always been a little bit like overthinker, worry, war.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, and I don't know where that comes from. I think it's just like, maybe as even a child, I remember like growing up with you, you would always be a little bit like more concerned and like worried and be like protective mommy, even before you had kids. Yeah, I can mommy even before you had kids. Yeah, I can totally tumble down that. But yes, you go down a rabbit hole and then I'm always just like, hey, let's pull you up, it's gonna be okay, kelly, we're gonna be fine. If shit hits the fan, we will figure it out it's all good namaste.
Speaker 2I get so fucking annoyed when you talk to me like that or when anyone does that make it worse. Oh, it makes me like irritated. So then, how do I pull you out of the rabbit hole me?
Speaker 1oh, okay, so I could do that, just ignore it, yeah. But I will say one thing I even was thinking about the other day. I was like I remember like one of those times whenever we were younger and like I said, hey, you're really a beautiful girl, but you're lacking confidence. Now, to this day, at this age, your confidence is through the roof in a positive way. That little girl I don't even know who the fuck she is.
Speaker 2I don't either.
Speaker 1Because, honestly, I mean this is a positive message, Like I'm so impressed with your confidence and your just way of way of like handling situations. Motherhood is looking good on you and you're fucking teaching those kids what's up? So cheers to that.
Speaker 2Cheers. I trained to be here. I trained to do it because, I wasn't about to live my life like that, yeah, but um so, speaking of like Halloween costumes and stuff, oh yes, I'm like training to do the Marilyn impression. Oh yeah, and I've been doing research about like her voice and stuff.
Speaker 1So you're going to be Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 2I'm thinking so. I mean, I think so.
Speaker 1Are you going to take your hair out and be like short hair?
Speaker 2I don't know, like that's the thing, I might have to Just do a wig. I might have to do a wig, but um people who speak through their pelvic floor and pelvic is yeah, so the pelvic floor is kind of like a box. It kind of like are all the muscles that surround, like your abdomen, your back, your side, like so this is a dumb question.
Speaker 1Would a man have a pelvic floor a?
Speaker 2man. A man does have a pelvic floor too, okay yeah, so is that like kegels, like exercise? I'm really confused with the whole, like yeah, speaking from your pussy, everything's like connected, so like you can flex your butthole right.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, I'm doing it right now.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that's part of your pelvic floor.
Speaker 1Okay, interesting. Okay, I'm learning a lot of things today.
Speaker 2Right, okay, so people who speak through their pelvic floor versus like through their shoulders or like nasal. Or like lungs or no, or yeah, or even your lungs, like um they are.
Speaker 1They are considered to like be sexier and even get like maryland and even get more job offers oh, fudge, yeah, I like the sound of that which I definitely do not naturally speak through my pelvic floor.
Speaker 2I'm like I'm kind of like speaking through my lungs.
Speaker 1I think a lot see, I don't even know, like I don't even, I couldn't even tell you what I'm doing okay, take a deep breath like okay, put a.
Speaker 2Put a hand on your chest and put a hand down, like on your belly. Take a deep breath. Does your lower belly fill up or just your lungs?
Speaker 1I mean it's belly too.
Speaker 2It's belly too.
Speaker 1That's good.
Speaker 2Okay, so I'm so guilty. I'll take a deep breath and it's like in my lungs. I have to think about getting it in my lower belly and when you get it down past your lungs, you actually activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
Speaker 1So then you're not in like fight or flight mode.
Speaker 2You know when you're just like breathing in your lungs and you're not taking in full breaths. Then you're kind of like it's like your sympathetic nervous system and you're kind of in fight or flight mode. You could be more stressed out. So one of the best ways to minimize stress is to take those deep belly breaths.
Speaker 1I think yoga has really helped me the last couple years.
Speaker 2Yes, that's why yoga is so amazing.
Speaker 1Yeah, breath work. Yeah, when you stretch your muscles.
Speaker 2It actually gives your muscles shape.
Speaker 1It's just like I don't know.
Speaker 2I feel so much better, I feel more at peace like yeah, my, I'm all wound up like so tight I know, yoga's just like it, namaste it is so effing hard for me to like take a minute and even meditate, like I can't even do it for two minutes a day. It has to be so. It has to be so intentional for me and even when I try, it's like so hard because I'm wound up like you too. So, but if you get away, you go to the yoga class. You could get into that groove, into that mindset.
Speaker 1I don't know, and you really do slow down a little bit, even just having the instruction, because I know a lot of people are like, oh, you should do yoga on youtube and you should do yoga at home and stuff, yeah, it's okay. But just being with that group, that class and that instructor Right, I love their voice it just makes you feel peace.
Silent Walking and Aging Parents
Speaker 2Okay, so if you were going to go? This is a new trend new trend alert, but I want to ask you what you do first.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2When you go for like a walk. Do you grab your headphones or do you just? Do you just go?
Speaker 1You know what? I used to grab my headphones, and now I recently just keep losing them. So I probably would always grab them. But you know, when you just are like losing them, I'm just probably by nature I want to grab it.
Speaker 2So here's the new trend that Gen Z is obsessed with.
Speaker 1Oh, I love a Gen Z it's called silent walking. It's a good thing? Yeah, Because you know the headphones now are so fucking loud and like so noise canceling you kind of don't feel like you're in nature.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1I feel like it's just like stuck in there and then you're just like in a bubble, right, silent walking is something that gen z's are describing now as like a new trend yes, what I know like I'm so shocked that this is becoming a thing, but I'm also like really into the gen z's. Yeah, that I'm like I get it like we in some ways. I think a lot of people suffer with all these like mental illnesses because of social media and like even though it's paramount for our business.
Speaker 1In podcasting, social media shorts this, that, the other, and there's ways for us to, like you know, be able to have that freedom of working on our own business. There is something to be said about like this silent walking that is like incorporated with social media.
Speaker 2You constantly have to be stimulated with something, even on the toilet, yeah, yeah, even in the shower. I mean, some generations are just finding it humorous that this is even a groundbreaking trend, because it wasn't really a thing to not silent walk before and um, what's kind of sad is like these Gen Z-ers, they're actually getting anxiety to have to go on a silent walk. It's like anxiety inducing.
Speaker 1I mean, what is your thoughts? You like a silent walk, right, I love a silent walk.
Speaker 2I do think it's like definitely like was a common practice before smartphones, but they didn't grow up in that era, so I have empathy.
Speaker 1Remember when you got your first iPod?
Speaker 2I used to like listen to it on the school bus.
Speaker 1I loved it for a walk and I definitely used to like put it in for running and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2But speaking of, like the ADHD, that's what's happening to a lot of people now ADHD. Symptoms like symptoms. I don't think everyone has ADHD. I think ADHD is a serious thing, but ADHD apparently, to sum it up, it's when you're creating thought faster than you can figure it out.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you know what A doctor that like a good way to like work on your adhd naturally is by getting a cardiovascular intense workout, and he even said one thing that's really helpful is doing pickleball oh really playing a game of pickleball to like.
Speaker 2Help with your adhd I've heard that sports like pickleball or tennis, like hand-eye coordination, racket sports, in particular um, are like super good for your brain apparently like the hand-eye coordination thing is like really healthy for your brain.
Speaker 1It can even prevent like alzheimer's and things like that I know, because you know we all have to be working on our like. Health is wealth.
Speaker 1Health is the new wealth yeah you know, because if you are, you know, getting older, as we're living longer with medication and modern medicine, you want your brain to still be there. What's the point of living if you're just like and I feel bad saying this, but like my grandmother and I know there's a lot of other grandparents out there that would say the same thing they'd rather just not be alive than be like in a nursing home yeah, not aware of what's going on and there is something that is like hard to see them just kind of there physically but not mentally.
Speaker 1So like what do you? Do like it's just, it's like that's kind of where we've came and like you know even this cody sanchez, who is like a big entrepreneur, social media influencer, like was a financial banking investor and she states like the new businesses to get involved in is nursing homes and creating small nursing homes, like yeah, I heard about this. You can like create like a house and like, and it's like you could get five times the rent. Yeah, you would, for just a traditional tenant well, and it's gonna be a demand.
Speaker 2The baby boomers are aging, oh yeah, and it's going to be a demand.
Speaker 1The baby boomers are aging, oh yeah. And it's weird, she goes from talking about buying these small businesses, because a lot of boomers will sell their business and they don't have a retirement plan or somebody to purchase their small business. So she's like grab all the laundromats, grab all the what else was she talking about? Car washes? And now she's like create those nursing homes, or you know, I don't know if it's nursing home is the right word, is old age home or elderly home?
Speaker 1nursing home is what they call it, yeah nursing home okay, so on a positive fun, though let's talk about a messy experience yeah, let me hear it well, I think it's tricky because, you know, in some weird way it's like we do want to like encourage talking about the fun messy experiences.
Speaker 1Like I totally am like one to always like bring up my messy past and who the fuck knows, I mean, right now I shifted my problem into another problem, yeah, which is like hooking up and that's not really safe or good. I mean it's kind of distracting too, like hooking up with like people and then you know, I mean I had like a good time recently and it was fun, but then I was just like you know, I need to tone it down.
