Brace Yourself for Alpaca Yoga
Have you ever found yourself in a yoga pose while alpacas curiously wander around you? Or spent half a day tracking down a simple ankle brace through a labyrinth of healthcare facilities? This episode takes you on both of these unexpected journeys, weaving together two seemingly unrelated experiences into a delightful conversation about life's quirky adventures.
When Robyn (our special guest and first-ever visitor to the studio) describes her experience at Coleman Valley Alpaca Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, you'll feel like you're right there on the mat. Picture this: beautiful rolling hills, restorative yoga poses, and fluffy alpacas cautiously investigating humans in downward dog. The teenage alpaca with its freshly-groomed, doodle-like appearance steals the show, acting as the confident leader of the skittish herd. You'll learn surprising facts about these camel family members – yes, they can spit! – and why they were more fascinated by parked cars than people doing yoga.
Then our conversation takes an unexpected turn as we dive into the absurd odyssey of acquiring a simple ankle brace. What begins at a podiatrist's office spirals into a comedy of errors involving multiple healthcare facilities, unhelpful staff, missing prescription dates, and ultimately a revelation: Dick's Sporting Goods has an entire section of exactly what was needed all along. The frustrating yet hilarious journey perfectly captures the needless complexity of our healthcare system and the simple solutions hiding in plain sight.
Through both stories, we explore our relationship with animals, wellness trends, healthcare hurdles, and finding humor in life's complications. Whether you're an animal lover, yoga enthusiast, or someone who's ever been caught in bureaucratic quicksand, this episode will have you nodding in recognition and laughing along with us.
Welcome to hey Real Quick. How was your weekend last weekend?
Speaker 2:It was good. Yeah, what did we do? Flag football.
Speaker 1:Nice, more of that. Wow, it's still going. Huh, still going. We've got another week or two Still getting those flags.
Speaker 2:Still pulling them. Pull them off and then, I think, friday. Mm-hmm no no, maybe it's saturday morning, robin, uh, she did something new.
Speaker 1:She did alpaca at alpaca yoga I did not know that you were going to put those two words together. I thought it was going to be like like a petting A petting zoo or making a sweater out of their wool or something.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I think it is kind of a petting zoo-ish.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But you also do.
Speaker 1:Yoga With them. Are they doing the yoga?
Speaker 2:The instructor's name is Fluffy. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:Downward alpaca.
Speaker 2:What? Yeah, I don't know how many there are Wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Do they have to herd them up?
Speaker 2:I think they're just there. It's just like a farm.
Speaker 1:Watch where you put your mat.
Speaker 2:We're going to have to clean a place off. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:My brain is in a knot right now. Wait what.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, it's like yoga, but then there's animals, and those animals are alpacas. That's all I got.
Speaker 1:They're not a giraffe, but they got a long neck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which are kind of like a. They look like a I'm trying to think what an alpaca looks like. Kind of like a llama had a baby with a. It's like a llama doodle. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:They kind of look, they're all like primped yes, do they groom them, are they? I don't know if they groom. You know what I should do? I should?
Speaker 2:I should get an expert.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I can go get Robin, Is she here?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think she's in.
Speaker 2:Studio B Let me go.
Speaker 1:Let's let her explain.
Speaker 2:Because yeah, I don't know that much about it.
Speaker 1:Guest in this studio, first one ever. It's the famous Robin, my sister-in-law.
Speaker 3:Hey Robin, hello, you're too kind.
Speaker 1:So Marty just told us about the alpaca yoga. Oh yeah, so I had too many questions and he was like I can't explain it, let me just go get Robin.
Speaker 3:He did see a lot of pictures. But, yeah, to experience it it was, it was a true, uh, experience and I will say that, um, I'll try to describe it for you. So when you just kind of vision, you know Tennessee countryside, with a big barn and a nice little house, big hill, like all you see is land, yeah. It's crazy because you get off the interstate probably five miles before that and then all of a sudden you're just in beautiful Tennessee countryside. So that's amazing. It was right outside of Franklin.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Close to Berry Farms. Really not far from that. So yeah, so driving to it, I was just like man, this is gorgeous, like I didn't even realize this was in her backyard. So when I get there I pull up and you know, this is the first time they've actually done this yoga class. Shout out to Coleman Valley Alpaca Farm. They decided to try this out and it sounded really cool. I have a really good friend that is obsessed with alpacas llamas anything in that family with alpacas llamas anything in that family, so she talked us into going and I was like, sure, why not?
Speaker 3:I love yoga, I love animals, let's go. So when we get there, you know they got all the mats set up. They did all that for us. And then this big, beautiful dog comes to greet us. His name was Joe and he was just the biggest I guess sheepdog look, I don't know exactly what breed it was Just comes over there and just the friendliest thing, greeting us, like at our mats you know, just hanging out. Eventually, at one point he was like sitting on a mat. And it's just like he's ready to go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Like.
Speaker 3:OK, get some downward dog going.
Speaker 1:Yeah, literally Kind of reminds me of Peter Pan, exactly downward dog going.
Speaker 3:Yeah, literally. It kind of reminds me of Peter Pan, exactly, exactly. So I was like this is a great beginning. So we had a great instructor that kind of walked us through. It was restorative yoga, because they did say that the alpacas are very you know finicky, so if you do big movement it might scare them and we did see that, like when they did eventually come closer to us. You know, if you did something really quick they would kind of jump.
Speaker 3:Yeah, a little skittish, a little skittish, yes. So you know, we started. And then all of a sudden, one of the owners comes out with the feed and you just start seeing the herd coming our way and you kind of don't know what to expect, because you're like, okay, are they going to? Like literally come and like step on my mat? I mean you think about goat yoga and I'm like, okay, those things actually get on you and stuff. Right, alpacas are big.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:They're heavy so they did give us feed to have on our mats to try to lure them in because they were skittish. There was one teenager, alpaca, that was the cutest thing that had groomed it. It looked like a doodle, like its face was like no way so do they do that with all of them, some of them I don't know if it's just the certain types, because there were some that were a little more wiry hair, yeah, but then there were some that were more poofy and a lot more hair like almost like a sheep, like you needed to shear them.
Speaker 3:So this one had just gotten sheared and it was just so cute, the poofy face. I think I showed you the picture.
Speaker 1:It's the one I got the picture with. Yeah.
Speaker 3:But it was a teenager. But it was abandoned by its mom and it actually like lived inside for a while when it was young. And so it was kind of the outcast, like the other alpacas looked at it like what's it going to do, but also see it as like you haven't kind of come up with us. So you know so that alpaca was actually pretty, you know, confident and would come around us more and was kind of weaving in and out from us and even kind of galloped.
Speaker 3:It kind of made me nervous. Oh yeah, you know it's looking to charge over here. Yeah, but it was really, really cute and you could tell the other alpacas were were getting some cues from this one, and so it was the one that kind of came and got a little bit closer to us us, but the rest kind of just kind of circled us like the big group of mats.
Speaker 3:They just basically walked around us, not necessarily through us, unless the owner was, you know, um coming through with the feed and kind of like getting them to yeah, if you had feed? Oh, they were definitely into that okay, and it was interesting because they only kept the females, Like the males, like when you get them mixed. I guess, there's a different dynamic. And so they just had the females that were coming around us.
Speaker 3:We did see some males in the fence later, but they were super sweet and it was just one of those things that you know you felt like you were in a movie.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, and.
Speaker 3:I didn't realize they were part of the camel family.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay. So does that mean, they spit, they do?
Speaker 3:I did not get spit on, thank goodness, oh my gosh. But when I was taking a picture with one, it kind of was clear in its throat and I don't know if it coughed, but I literally thought it was about to spit at me and I kind of like darted this way Um because our yoga instructor said she came out before and got to meet them and get familiar Um she had done this before in Atlanta, and so she was like okay, well, you know, I want to get to meet them and things like that.
Speaker 3:So she came out and met the teenager one and it spit at her and she like literally had to change her clothes so my goodness, yeah, yeah, come with a spare um yeah, thankfully nobody got spit on okay, you know they were pretty tame while we were there, yeah, so um, but yeah, after so we we got done with you.
Speaker 3:It was funny, though, because you know we're doing these restorative you know, yoga, which are supposed to be calming, and things which it was I mean it was a gorgeous day, beautiful like just to take in, like close your eyes, take in the birds, take in just nature yeah. And so that was really loved it. But of course then you had people giggling because they're like seeing the alpacas like around them and trying to feed them and stuff like that.
Speaker 3:So it was. It was definitely one of those things where you know you didn't get probably as much yoga out of it as you did Right. Visiting with the alpacas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so this is an alpaca farm in Franklin, but that's the first yoga session they did with the animals and it was so popular it got sold that they're doing another one.
Speaker 3:I believe it's next weekend.
Speaker 1:I bet they'll be booked every weekend or as much as they want to.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I think they said. I saw on their website. I think they said five spots left, like yesterday.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, yeah, wow. So did they have other animals on the farm besides alpacas?
Speaker 3:They did so. Did they have other animals on the farm besides alpacas? They did so. I think they said they had some goats. I didn't see the goats. But then they did have some mini ponies or mini horses behind the gate. That was really sweet and cute. And then, when we got done with actual yoga, we walked over and actually got to be closer to the group of alpacas and feed them, and, okay, how was that it's so fun to feel like, because I think they only have like one set of teeth I can't remember exactly but it just feels like.
Speaker 3:You just feel like they're little lips, you know grabbing grabbing the food now with the male, like it was. Oh, on the other side you felt his teeth, so I can see that that was a little more aggressive yes, um, but the other ones, you know, they, they would just kind of hang by you if you go to pet it. If you had food in your hand you could pet it, but if you just went to pet it without the food.
Speaker 1:It still skittish you know, yeah, okay, kind of uh, but they did stay together.
Speaker 3:Definitely you know, a herding. And the funny part was when we first started the yoga class to lure them, like I said, with the food, they were amazed by the cars, Like they just went and like we're checking out the cars in the field. Yeah, that's where they wanted to stay.
Speaker 1:That is hilarious. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:So they all ended up being by one car and the yoga instructor was saying man, whoever has that blue car over there, they're, they're really digging, digging your car right now.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh um, so have you done goat yoga before?
Speaker 3:I haven't. I've seen the videos. Yeah, but of course on your back and stuff, right, yeah, yeah, I don't know if I I don't know. The one thing I would love to see is when they do the whole just fall over like play dead. Yes, that's hilarious, it is funny.
Speaker 1:Or I've seen the people do like puppies, where they just release a bunch of puppies and they climb all over people and that's what our friend sent us videos of.
Speaker 3:Next she wants to do.
Speaker 1:Oh my, we totally have to do the puppy yoga next.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I was like I think I'll be down with some puppy yoga.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:So tell me the name of it again Coleman Valley, alpaca Farm.
Speaker 1:Coleman Valley Alpaca Farm in Franklin or outside of Franklin, yeah All right, yeah, check it out.
Speaker 3:It's funny because once I posted it on my Instagram stories, everybody was just like it looks like AI. It doesn't even look real.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, when you showed me the picture of that one that looked like it had been to the Golden Doodle groomer, it was just like I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, so it's an experience you need to check it out.
Speaker 1:Well, thanks for telling us about it.
Speaker 3:Of course.
Speaker 1:So that was fun Learning um alpaca yoga with your sweet wife yeah, with an expert.
Speaker 2:I know sorry, unpack no, it's good.
Speaker 1:So yeah, she had showed me that picture and probably, if you go on their website, was it cole Coleman Farms.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:In Franklin, or just go look at some alpacas. They are cute Because they are the doodle of camels.
Speaker 2:Or llamas.
Speaker 1:Llamas, it's a llama. It always makes me think of Emperor's New Groove.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, that's weird. Did y'all talk about Weird? Do they spit?
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, did y'all talk about that Do they spit yes because they are in the camel family. She said one was about to hawk a loogie and she kind of well, she felt it coming. She was like I'm going to go over here now. I'm going to get down where dog is I'm going to get out of here, dog and that they were gravitating towards the cars.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I did hear yeah.
Speaker 1:Man, maybe they should sell cars. Yeah, probably not. It's like the bin of animals. My kid loves cars so much it's like he would bond with us. Yeah, he's like yeah, let's go check out these cars.
Speaker 2:I guess you got to sign a waiver right, Maybe?
Speaker 1:Trampled by. Yeah, I don't know yeah.
Speaker 2:Because otherwise you're getting yeah. I guess, you have to. It's a live animal. Yeah, why do?
Speaker 1:you need a rabies shot. Well, I was doing some yoga.
Speaker 2:They are cute, but I do have Very angry alpaca. Yeah, they're cute, but I have petting zoo like a petting zoo phobia Me too. I don't let anything. I don't let my dog eat out of my hand. I mean maybe sometimes Like if I'm handing them a treat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she was saying that when they fed them you could feel their little lips and stuff and it's kind of cute. Now I have one friend, leanne. Shout out, leanne. She loves all animals and she would be all about that.
Speaker 2:I love animals, but I'm not letting. I won't let a goat. People are like, oh, you want a pet. I don't trust none of that stuff.
Speaker 1:I want to look at it, I'll look at it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, got them teeth.
Speaker 1:A horse, gosh, he could just lay down on you.
Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 1:Horses are beautiful. I ain't touching no horse, I ain't getting on it. I respect it. Yeah, I'm like, I respect it.
Speaker 2:That's a majestic animal.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
Speaker 2:Please get away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm super nervous around horses. People that are comfortable around horses just walk up and know how to.
Speaker 2:They make me nervous, yeah, yeah. I need to go outside.
Speaker 1:I'm nervous right now talking about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would get injured in a heartbeat which, speaking of injuries?
Speaker 1:Oh gosh, what did you do? It's not bad.
Speaker 2:I looked it up, it was February 8th. We did the father and son flag football thing. We do it once a year.
Speaker 1:That's your mistake, right there, right so.
Speaker 2:I'm not a competitive person.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:When it comes to that, I kind of got competitive and it was toward the end of it and I was like I told this kid playing quarterback. I was like, hey, I'm going to run over here, slam on brakes like I was Maverick, you know, with a jet plane. As soon as I did it. I was like Al I remember like why did my foot try to come out of the side of my shoe?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:So it's just been kind of lingering, because you know, once you hit, Three months, once you hit 45, injuries don't really go away. It's just you're going to kind of this is where. I'm at now. So I waited, waited, waited.
Speaker 1:Like you should.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Went to a place got an x-ray still in whatever got an MRI, so I did all the things.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So then I went to your podiatrist.
Speaker 1:What's up?
Speaker 2:First time at a podiatrist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, god, your podiatrist first time at a podiatrist. Yeah, god bless him.
Speaker 2:He said it was like the tendon on the outside of the ankle that connects to the cubode or whatever the bone in the middle of the foot.
Speaker 1:Whatever Right and that was different than your other diagnoses, or I like that word diagnoses.
Speaker 2:Yes, because the other people didn't find anything. Well, everywhere you go, they talk confidently and kind of fast and you're like that is what it is okay and you just kind of like okay, great, take it in now.
Speaker 1:What do I do?
Speaker 2:so that wasn't the part, that wasn't the interesting part of this trip. So they said oh so we're just going to give you this, like first of all. He said we can give you a steroid shot. And I was like well, I'm kind of, I'm like my sister, I'm kind of squeamish.
Speaker 1:You should get out some smelling salts right now. So how?
Speaker 2:about. I just take eight Advil a day and till I die. Let's talk about that brace you mentioned. So he gave me an ankle brace. So the girl comes in, throws on the brace and then she goes real fast. She goes all right, you're going to figure eight at the bottom, come up side, slap. Then you're going to do this. I was like okay.
Speaker 1:Do you have a video that I can watch? So I think I got it. Oh Lord Okay.
Speaker 2:But then she takes the brace off and puts it back in a box.
Speaker 1:Uh-uh off and puts it back in a box.
Speaker 2:And I was like, okay, maybe she just wants me to do it when I get home. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So then she hands me a piece of paper and says it's a prescription, so you got to. It's a the brace is prescribed, so here you go.
Speaker 1:That one was for display only, yeah.
Speaker 2:What so? I was like maybe it's the wrong size, Right you?
Speaker 1:know I'm sure it's got to be multiple sizes. Surely there's a reason. Yeah, Multiple reasons.
Speaker 2:So anyway, she said follow the yellow signs, go to checkout.
Speaker 1:Follow the yellow background. Follow the yellow background.
Speaker 2:Which I will say they had like seven signs within like 52 feet.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:It was very instructive. So I get up to the window hand the girl the prescription. Yeah, I said I just need to get this. The lady that told me where to go was on the other side of the window.
Speaker 1:Oh, I know what you're talking about. You go around like in a U and you just end up on the other side, so I hand it to her.
Speaker 2:I said I need to get this.
Speaker 1:That's like service merchandise.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so she goes. Well, that would have been great if there was service or they had merchandise. So she goes oh, we don't do that, you can go to one of these three locations. So it gives me a piece of paper with three locations, right? So, now I go to the car and I type in all the locations. One's 1.9 miles down the road and I type in all the locations.
Speaker 1:One's 1.9 miles down the road.
Speaker 2:How hard can that be? So I drive over to whatever it was called. It was like an old school.
Speaker 1:Like a compounding pharmacy. Yeah, it looked like a CVS from 1971. Yeah.
Speaker 2:They had rascals, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Is the pharmacist up a couple steps kind of higher than you?
Speaker 2:No, I was the only person in there under 80 and then I went. I go to the counter. I was like hey, just need to pick this up. Lady was super nice. She goes that man over there behind that desk he's got all the answers, okay.
Speaker 2:So then I take my piece of paper, I go to that guy and he goes well, we got them, but uh, insurance doesn't cover them here. So I don't know. I've never had a brace or a cast. I'm like they're probably going to charge like 500 you know, I thought it'd be something astronomical. Yeah well, I just panic and go like, okay, and he goes no, if you go to hanger hangar clinic, that was another location on there.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:You can get one there, they'll cover it.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, appreciate it, get my car, put it in the hangar clinic. That's like two miles down the road.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Drive there. Sorry, this is a long, drawn-out process Drive there. Uh-huh, another parking deck Almost went down a one-way street the wrong way multiple times. I am not happy. There's multiple words being thrown around. So I park in the parking deck and then I go in a building. Looks like a hospital, like they all do, and got to figure out where that is. That's on level two, if you're wondering, suite 250. So I walk in there. I see a girl behind a window. There's no line.
Speaker 1:She looks like she doesn't want to help. So I go right up to her. I was like, hey, I need to pick this up.
Speaker 2:Yeah and she goes. Do you have an appointment? I was like I had one earlier with the doctor. I said, no, I just need to get this brace. Yeah, doctor. I said no, I just need to get this brace, yeah, and she goes well um I knew right then it was a problem, like there was a side.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she was like I and I heard a word I never heard she goes well. I don't know without a appointment if we're gonna have a clinician available I'd never heard clinician oh really, anyway, is it a brace fitter. Whatever. So I was like um, okay, she goes, I'll go check on it.
Speaker 1:Great. Could you check on the clinician and the brace?
Speaker 2:both of them you could just throw it from the closet, I'll pick it up off the ground.
Speaker 1:Somebody already showed me how to do the figure eight, so I think I can still remember.
Speaker 2:So I sit down and then she calls me back up. I was like, well, I was fast. She goes hey, we got them, but we're not going to be able to fill it because they left the date empty. There's no date on the prescription, so it's not valid.
Speaker 1:I said it's from today. I said I just can't.
Speaker 2:She was not going to help. No, she was not gonna help.
Speaker 1:No, she was not gonna help I was like she wasn't gonna fudge the date on there or anything.
Speaker 2:So I was like I was like meanwhile I'd been on my phone. I was like I told her. I said you know what? I'll just order one off Amazon, it's fine.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I get in the car, I'm gonna order one. I'm like you know what. I'll just go back to the first dude. I'll just buy it there.
Speaker 3:He said they got them right.
Speaker 2:Right yeah. So I get in my car, drive two and a half miles back over to Oz. Yeah right, Literally I was like, hey, I'm back, I'm just going to get it here.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He said what size shoe you wear? Yeah, oh, and he goes yeah, we don't have that size. And I was like, and then he said these words he said but Dick's Sporting Goods has got them.
Speaker 1:Dude, could you lead with that? Excuse me the first visit. I have been to multiple clinics, pharmacies we'll call them hospitals, some kind of hangar, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Airplanes, I could have grabbed this and some athletic socks to be I could have got a brace, some jordans, a blackstone grill, maybe some nike sweatpants, like I could have gone to dick's sporting goods. So all that trouble and then I go to dick's sporting goods oh no, oh no, oh no, did they have them? Oh, they had them.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Level one, level two there was so many options.
Speaker 1:How many people are popping these tendons?
Speaker 2:I don't know I was. So I was in Dick's Sporting Goods. I was that dude.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Trying on braces, which I don't care anymore. I'm just trying on braces. There's dog hair all over them. Now you know you walk around the house with two dogs.
Speaker 1:You're just trying not to be Michael Douglas from Falling Down at this point.
Speaker 2:Pretty much yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which. If you're Gen X, you know what that movie is which.
Speaker 2:Falling Down would have been less painful.
Speaker 1:Than just popping the dent.
Speaker 2:Throughout that whole process you get to the point of you know I'd rather just be in pain than just go through all this. But I started thinking I was like what if you're in a wheelchair? Or like what if I was on crutches? Or like had a serious injury, and they're like, hey, just drive over here.
Speaker 1:I know it's not helpful. How about this? How about, if you don't have it, you mail it delivery one, two-day DHL or some biz like that, and send it to my house?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't get like hey you need this brace Health.
Speaker 1:I don't get. I don't get like, hey, you need this brace Health. We don't really care, we're going to show you how to put it on. We don't have them. Nope, can't have this one. Yeah, taking it back. Sorry, taking it back.
Speaker 2:Nobody goes to Best Buy and like, ooh, I like that TV, I want it, and they go okay. Well, here's some addresses.

I got lots of them. I got boxes of braces. The FIA came. Yeah, they don't have them. They don't quote unquote have them, we have them. They don't quote unquote have them, we have them.

Speaker 1:Dick's is doing now. They're like just let us buy them all up, yeah.
Speaker 2:Pretty much.
Speaker 1:Dick's is basically the mafia.
Speaker 2:But the brand I got, the brand that Dick's Sporting Goods has is called Shocked Shock Doctor, which I was shocked. I didn't have to go to a doctor, apparently, all I had to do. Maybe that's why they call it that unreal you think you're shocked. Come on into the exporting goods. We got all the doctor needs and you get a kayak and some golf balls like what. Just don't even go anywhere, just just start slinging, cast in the back yeah, that is crazy anyway, it was a lot sorry.
