Excited to be here. Always. I'm gonna try not to mess with this mic as much as I did last week, but I feel like every time you hit record, uh every time I hit record, I'm like, this thing, I can't get it set the way I want it. But um, man, man, man, what a week, what a week, what a week. I feel like that's how we go into every show.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

SPEAKER_00 0:35

It is. Uh, I am excited to be here. I'm actually kind of energized. I'm really glad we did our walk first. Yeah, because it kind of like got the blood flowing.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

SPEAKER_00 0:45

And we'll crash after. But I'm not gonna crash during it. I think I'm good. Uh, but we man, guys, said we have a hard update.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Kicking our butt.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

We're day 30 if you're real time. Yep. And uh it is just we are in it. We're in it, baby. We are in it. We're in it. And so um what was your workout today? What did you do this morning?

SPEAKER_01 1:06

You got up, yes. I did. Um, Sundays are always like Yeah, you did Pilates today, didn't you?

SPEAKER_00 1:11

I did Pilates type. I don't know if we talked about this on the like the first week or two of the show. All that fun stuff. Um, dude, don't ever make fun of Pilates if you haven't. Definitely don't. If you've never done it, don't talk. I don't know. I just had like this stigma with it. I was like, I'm Pilates.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

It kind of is a stigma, like it's a girl or it's a more female hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

SPEAKER_00 1:31

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

It's not a question because it's a lot of bad no exaggeration, like small movements and core.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Hardest thing I've ever done. 45 minutes of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Absolutely terrible.

SPEAKER_01 1:43

So anyway, we should take that specific class again this week.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Maybe next week. Um I'm still recovering from flu. Oh, really? Okay. Like two weeks ago. Flu was seven days, took seven full days to recover. So last week I was still flu-ish. Uh, I didn't have much of a uh I had no stamina really. I went to work on Monday and I was supposed to meet somebody that Monday night, and I was like, dude, I I can't. I can't meet. Um, I had to move until the next day because I overdid it Monday. But I went so I got I started symptoms Wednesday night two weeks ago. And it took until last Wednesday. Like Wednesday was the first day that I was like, okay, I finally feel like I can.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

But you still, like, gosh, through through most of this week did walks.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

No, I stopped on Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Oh, did you?

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Yeah, that was the last day.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Yeah, his workouts had to be two walks because he was just the only way. I can barely put football.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

I've never felt that kind of shortness of breath. Like in pain when I breathe. Like my chest felt like somebody was just sitting on it the entire for seven days. Uh I told Savannah, I was like, I can never be chronically ill. Uh Lord, Lord, please don't let me get chronically ill. Uh, just go ahead and take me out if that's gonna be the that's gonna be the case. But I would be a terrible patient. I would be an awful patient.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

He is a terrible patient. So I didn't complain to you one time during that, other than no, no, that wasn't the pattern I was referring to. I was referring to like your hand and stuff. Like you're just not a good, very compliant patient.

SPEAKER_00 3:10

Oh, compliant, that's a different story, but yeah, you know we're coming up on the anniversary of that.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

We always are feel like. No, I know Oh, it's one time a year.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

What do you think?

SPEAKER_01 3:19

No, I just feel like we randomly bring it up and then it's like, oh.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Well, because you know what I've noticed is like within the last couple months, what is my mobility is already like like by the time I'm 60, my hand will be like this. No, it won't. Yes, it will. I promise you. It's already like this. Like whenever I put like if I try to like if I put my hands on a wall and try to put them flat, I cannot get this flat.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

You can't make your hand flat?

SPEAKER_00 3:44

It's alright, it's like that. I almost kind of want to go to therapy or something to get them stretched back up. Right now. I mean I have to move the mic. I'll try. Like I can't. They don't actually flatten against the wall.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

Your hand is flat on the wall.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

Yeah, my fingers.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Yeah. That you made it sound like it was like bent in.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

No, it's my fingers that are but like it's just hard to see. You have to see in the moment. But uh anyway, got my I got fried the other day working. Uh neck got burnt because it was 85. I don't know. It was my first full day in the sun.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Freaking 40 degrees.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

It was cold again. So you don't even know. You don't ever know. But uh book is going what what book have you read? You read Habits of the Household.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

And I just finished it. So I'm reading a book.

SPEAKER_00 4:31

Yeah, we're gonna swap books. Um are you done yet?

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Seriously, how many pages left?

SPEAKER_00 4:36

I have like 30 or 40 pages left.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Boo, okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

Um I forget I forget what it's called.

SPEAKER_01 4:45

Language of us or something?

SPEAKER_00 4:47

Yeah, something like that. Um a buddy, a friend of mine here, actually a local business owner, uh, wrote it. He's done marriage counseling and been a pastor over the years, and uh he wrote it. So I snatched that up and it's been very good. Um I think that is just the language.

SPEAKER_01 5:01

We both keep looking at each other and we're like, yeah, you're gonna read this book next. Yeah, you're gonna read this book next.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Yeah, and I'm mad, what I'm mad about is I haven't kept a pen with me through this.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

Yeah, I did a little bit, but not.

SPEAKER_00 5:11

There's been so many things like, oh, we need to talk about this, but then I'll forget about it. Like, right. So what I want actually, what I really want to do is we're gonna swap books, and I want us to make sure we have pens on these, yeah. And then us pick the things that stick out to us in these, like yeah, in these books, in these reads, and then come back and go over them and see if they align. Because like if you pick it out, right I'll remember it. Right, right, right. Right. If it was something that stuck.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 5:37

But I'm not just gonna like pull it out of the my the the thin air if if it's not written down. So uh yeah, I've got like uh two or three days left on that, and then we're gonna swallow. It's been very good, very, very, very good. And uh excited to see it. It makes me I think if I if I keep a couple things from this, it will be a decent diet. It'll be at least five workouts a week, and it will be continued reading.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

There's there's I can't wait to be done reading. I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

No, there's no you know, that's gonna have to change. I hate the reading. There's no reason I should not be reading 30 to 50 pages a day. If I free up 45 minutes a day, I I'm doing two workouts right now.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Is that the most productive thing to be doing with your time though?

SPEAKER_00 6:28

Uh based but I mean depends on what books you're reading, but yeah, potentially. Um I don't have to fill all 45 minutes. I could read 20 or 30 pages in 20 minutes. Like if I just took 30 minutes a day, I'm already spending it in if you're reading it that fast. What, 20 pages in 30 minutes?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

You said 20 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

I should be able to read a page in a minute. It depends on how many words are on it.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

But yeah, I just feel like I mean you can read that fast, but are you like taking in what you're reading if you're reading that fast?

SPEAKER_00 7:00

I think I take a pretty good bit in it.

unknown 7:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

Anyway, uh excited that's where we're at on the book, the book part. So any any other Side of Heart updates?

SPEAKER_01 7:09

I don't think so. I did, I'll just I don't care. I'll talk about it. I did get my cupcake at the party.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

We did. We but we said these stipulations when we started, guys. And you know what?

SPEAKER_01 7:18

Save your heart is very um what is the word? Very blatantly laid out, whatever that like you like I I don't feel like we really did anything wrong because we said from the game. You pick your diet. Yeah, and as long as you don't stray from what you did, that's when it's considered a cheat day. When you stray from what your diet is. So like I followed everything. We did the workouts, I drank the water, I read, I did all the things, but I had the party food and I ate the cocaine.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

I do want to read something really quick, Sergio Heart related. Um feel the silence in the air, please, ma'am.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

I also got to go to a fun birthday dinner on Friday night and um that w it wasn't really like dessert that I was looking for to, it was the food food. And the only like not wise thing that I did I mean it was wise because I got something I wanted. I just didn't eat all day so that I could eat whatever I wanted at dinner.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

But that's part of doing calories, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 8:19

Yeah, you you you can bank them. And you know what? It was worth it. As long as it's in the same day.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Hey, let me tell you right now, it was worth it. Top five meal I've ever had in my whole life. So good.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

This is a buddy of mine. We we covered this when we did 70 hard last time, people quitting throughout because I was I was deep in the Facebook group last time. So I was like seeing what people are posting all this stuff. Um and this time I haven't looked at Harley at all, but he posted this on Facebook the other day. I didn't finish 75 Hard, and I already know what some of you are thinking. That's a failure. No, it's not. I started January 6th at 292 pounds. By March 14th, I was down to 260. I worked out every single day for over two months. I read Think and Grow Rich every single day. I drank the water, I followed the plan. Did I make it to day 75? No. But if you look at that and only see the days I didn't finish, you're missing the point entirely. There's a book called The Gap in the Gain. The idea is simple. Most people live in the gap. I just uh here we go. I closed down on accident. Most people live in the gap. They only see the distance between where they are and where they want it to be. They never turn around and look at how far they've come. I lost 32 pounds. I built a daily discipline that didn't exist before January 6th. I read an entire book that rewired how I think about my goals every morning. You're gonna tell me that's a failure. If you started something and didn't finish it exactly the way you planned, stop beating yourself up. Look at what you did do, look at the version of you that exists right now compared to the version that existed to you before you started. That's not failure, that's progress. Be consistent, be relentless, keep chasing greatness, and stop letting the gap rob you of the gain. That was very good. Yeah. I read that and I was like, you know what? That is fantastic because I feel like sometimes there's so much pressure put on the failure aspect of like, oh, he failed.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

So true.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

You take away from the positives you get from it, and that's that way, that's like that that goes like transitioning out of setting up hard. This kind of pairs to what we were talking about in Sunday school and prayer and soul care a couple weeks ago. Yeah. Of like, look at say say your prayer life is struggled, right? Or or whatever your your thing is. We'll use prayer as an example because it's what we're talking about. You struggle with your prayer life, you're not very consistent about it. Uh, but you did start. You started trying to pray, and you prayed, you tried to pray daily, but you prayed three out of the seven days this week, right? But you did that, and then you were five days, and then you were four days, and then you were seven days, and then you were two days, and you did that for a month's time, right? Or or six weeks' time. You could look and say, Well, I never hit seven days fully, or you look and say, Okay, what actually good came from consist more consistent of a prayer life than before I started a month ago. There are bound to be good things that come from it. Right. Right? You're putting the effort in. It's not, it's nobody calls for perfection. Right. Like Jesus doesn't call perfect for perfection. No. And uh, I just think that like if you've ever done something hard or you're scared of doing it because of the failure aspect, like it's okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

Yeah, it is hard though, because like there are times where like legitimately you're like, okay, I sometimes I'm like, is this worth like the mental like there are times where yes, like it's why you push through or whatever because you're doing the hard thing, but like tonight we I mean we had a busy day today. Sundays are like pretty chaotic for us, like not in a negative way, they're just like pretty packed full. And I had gotten to the point in time where like I had a like horrible headache, like I thought I was gonna throw up. I was like not feeling that great, and I was like, but I have another workout to do, and you know, I've got I've got both my kids with me, and I gotta do bedtime, I have another workout too, and I like I'm feeling so bad. And my friend was like, but but do you not need to also like listen to your body? Like, how are you physically gonna do all this workout right now? And sometimes I do feel like you put more emphasis up on what you're saying, like what's gonna happen if the negative if you don't do it, then then the benefit of the- That's a slippery slope. No, it is, it is it's a very slippery slope. I took medicine, I ate dinner, like I feel a little bit better. We did what we needed to do, like we did the workout. Yeah, but like there is validity in that because sometimes I'm like, now do you do that every day? Obviously not, but then that there are days where I'm like, no, and I mean you have the flu.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

Like, I mean, there I mean, there's no way I could have like if the if the if the plan would have required you have to lift weights every single day or go on a run every day, like I would have failed. That would have been it. Like it would have put me in the hospital.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

So yeah, that is 100% true. And and if you want to hear a really cool story on that.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Okay, no, no. This is this is what I was saying. I'm interrupt before the month passes. Sometimes I'm like, if we're looking at what we're gaining from this, then then like you think about this as month, essentially, because that's kind of where we're at. We're about at the the month mark. Like, think about all that has happened. And like tomorrow, like you get up and you do it again, right? Like, that's what we're gonna do. So, like, did I really fail if I didn't do one walk today? You know? Like, think about the trajectory that this is putting me on.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Correct, yeah, as long as you don't just give up and go back. Like, yeah, I mean what you're saying is true.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Like, it is a super step because then one day happens and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm just so tired. Like, I don't like it's just not gonna fit in the schedule today, but like I'll do it again tomorrow, you know, and then that it becomes this cycle of that.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

And it's it's also but there's also a reason, like it is called 75 hard, yeah, not medium, not soft, not easy. Right, like it is hard.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

I know, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

It is made to be hard, right?

SPEAKER_01 14:08

It is, yep, and it is a hard thing, and it is all about self-discipline and like mental mental toughness and that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 14:16

Like, and and you can fail the challenge, right? Sure. And that's not that doesn't have to take away from what you've gained. Like there's a lot of positives, right? But you gotta get the positives going, yeah. And uh, but no, I well yeah, I mean, gosh, we've done it.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

I mean, this is our second time doing it, and we have two kids and we've both traveled, like doing it, like and more travel to do, more travel to do, like that's that's when it's hard too, like when you're literally traveling, like when you're that's by far the hardest, like having flights to catch, like doing it on day so you're flying, like yeah, it it's not easy. And the two kids, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a lot.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

Correct. So uh, well, that ate up a lot of time. But if you want to hear a story about um, and I don't want to harp on something hard, right? We we said we would not do that. You want to hear a story about listening to your body though, and like what that takes, go listen to the Garden Green podcast last week episode, what I don't even know what episode it was. It's on Friday. Um, and Pat Murray, he owns local roots landscaping in Pittsburgh, uh, shared his very like very open, very raw story of burnout and what that looked like in his business, and literally like a mental breakdown. Uh, and that was because he didn't listen to his body over time. And uh he got to the point where he like literally couldn't function um physically, which is just like a crazy thing to think about, but uh it is what it is. Is that thing falling? Is it getting closer to you? I can't. Is it that close to me? Push it that way. No, like push it towards the chair over there. Yeah, there you go. Now twist it back. Pull it up, pull the arm up. There you go. Maybe we'll see. We'll see. So as we go into the week ahead, uh, we don't have anything, like the stage of life, Ren. Tay turned one. Yeah. Can't overlook that. Like you're one year closer to 30.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Oh, yes, I am.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

One year closer to 30. What are you now?

SPEAKER_01 16:34

28.

SPEAKER_00 16:36

2-8, baby. 2-8. And uh Tate's one, which is kind of crazy to think about. He did not like a smash cake.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Well, he decided to try and drop a nap.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

Two days before.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

Literally, like the day of his birthday party.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

So we like couldn't didn't really plan for that. So he essentially like didn't nap the day of his birthday party.

SPEAKER_00 17:01

He didn't nap, not essentially no essentially about it. It took a little more. He just didn't, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

Yeah, but he did not get a good nap. What's funny is is I thought I was doing a good thing by making the party at four because I was like, he'll sleep right well. Like, that's Tate's prime nap time is like 1.30 to 3:30-ish. And so that'll be perfect. Everybody else's kids can nap. No, Tate did not nap. And so by the time the party got there, he was already tired, and he just was having no part of a smash cake. I mean, no part of it. He only stopped crying on the in the high chair long enough for people to sing happy birthday because it stunned him. So that was that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:43

It was uh little chaotic, but um it was a sweet party.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

Um it was good, it wasn't perfect.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

It was good. Yeah, you got to have some great time this week with Friends.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

I did my some solo time, yes, sweet precious friends playing like a little like staycation for me. So we went to like a nice fun dinner and um stayed in Birmingham at a hotel downtown and just like hung out and no kids.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

It was a break, it was a break for everybody. It was five of y'all. Hey, I was like, you're all right. Or the five had kids. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

Uh and we came home and did all things birthday party and had the party and we're here.

SPEAKER_00 18:22

Yeah, here we are. I'm going into a week of deadline, hard, hard deadline. Uh so we're doing a big landscape project at our church.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Bye. And see you Sunday.

SPEAKER_00 18:32

Our deadline is Easter. Yeah, there there will be there'll definitely be some dark days this week. Um it's gonna be, and I haven't worked till dark in a long time. Uh, but there will probably be a couple dark days this week because we have hard deadlines to hit. We lost some we lost a couple probably we've probably lost a total of like 10 to 14 days of rain on this project. And uh so that's put us behind. I mean, it's two weeks, it's two working weeks. Uh, and so that's put us behind. We're losing a day. If you're listening real time, one of the if it was national news, uh, one of the airmen that got killed when the uh two tankers collided, not tankers, but the the jets that refuel um in Iran. One of them was from Birmingham, one of them was from our city uh in Trussville, and so they're having his funeral at the church tomorrow or today if you're listening real time. And so we can't do anything while that's happening. And uh it's we have got a lot, a lot, a lot to do. But uh, it's really exciting. I've learned a lot through this process, uh, learned a whole bunch, but um, that's just a kind of a quick update what we're going into this week. But one thing I want to talk about really quickly is so we're on y'all talked about finances, like financials a little bit last week in your small group. We talked about them this week. We have not debriefed this at all. Um, what how how did that go for y'all? What was the overall like consensus of that conversation from a women's point of view?

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Um, well, we really quickly just some little more backstory is what money, like talking about money. Um it was in reference to Matthew 6 talking about like where your treasure is or heartbeat also, so like what you spend your money on, that's kind of where your heart is, and like what your intentions are and where your like priorities are really. And so essentially what it turned out to be for a lot of women, at least in my little group within the group that talked, is like our kids. Uh, I mean, we all kind of just like talked about we don't really spend a ton of money on ourselves, we just spend money on our kids. So whether that's like doing things for them, taking them places, clothes for them, like our priority is them. So like that's our money gets spent on.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

A little bit different for the guys. Uh ours was a little bit more budget related and like true financial like status in the sense of um how you spend money, not like oh, I'm made at this status, I'm at this status. No, just like how how are you spending money? Um and my overall consensus was I'm interested to see, I was talking to a buddy about this tonight on the way home, and I was uh there was 18, 16, 18 people that talked about this, all males. All married. Yeah, all married. And every we were like 16 for 16. Everybody started the conversation off by saying, I don't really spend that much money. I I I get a big thing here and there. Like I don't frivolously spend money. Really? But then it all came out that like they admitted, and we all talked like how and where we spend money at.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Right.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

Whether it be eating out or hunting gear, golfing gear.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Only like yeah, people think that I don't really spend money if I don't like if I'm not constantly buying myself clothes or buying myself coffee or getting my hair and my nails done or like buying fun things. I'm like, oh I don't really spend that much money.

unknown 22:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

You know, you know, you just spend it on yourself. You still spend the money.

SPEAKER_00 22:15

It blew my mind a little bit. I was like, why did we all sit there and start the conversation like that? Like it's almost is it a pride thing that that males don't want to say they spend money for themselves? Like guys don't want to say that, like they want to lead well. I don't know. I don't know what it is, but how do you go 100% of everyone starting the con starting the conversation by saying, I don't really spend that much money? Because like I did it. I mean everybody everybody did.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

Yeah, it's probably because you think you don't have time to.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

Maybe, I don't know. Uh, but then then we start talking about hobbies and things. I was like, I need a hobby. I don't I don't have a hobby.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Well that's where their men's money goes.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

If you had if you had to say I had a hobby, what would it be?

SPEAKER_01 23:03

I don't feel like you have one like at all.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

There we go. That's it. Yeah. That's all I get. I mean I don't think you would I don't think I could say you have one either.

unknown 23:18

I don't.

SPEAKER_00 23:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:19

Working out.

SPEAKER_00 23:20

We're so boring people.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

I know. I know how to play mahjong now, so I'm actually not as boring as you can.

SPEAKER_00 23:26

I don't even know what that is.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

But you know how to play the game.

SPEAKER_00 23:29

No one knows what that is.

SPEAKER_01 23:31

You know how to play the game.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

So is this like a nationally recognized thing? It isn't from China or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

Uh I don't know exactly what called it.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

I mahjonged my first night, so I won the game.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

He did mahjong his first night.

SPEAKER_00 23:47

But so the overall conversation of that, of the finance thing was and I and I will say this, like there weren't many business owners in this conversation. But a lot of people stated, and the consistency I got was like we all we make we make good money, we make enough money, but nobody really has like their finances dialed either, right? Which was kind of like interesting. Like, what is that? Why is that? Why is that so hard to do? I I can't. It's food for thought. I got me thinking, um, like why is that a thing? Why why is that so and why is it so popular? Because again, 16 for 16, I don't really spend money, but then you get into and you talk about I do spend money here, and oh, I do here, it's just one time a year, like but it still odds up, right? Yeah, but you're like, I don't spend money. So I don't know, it just it's something about it uh stuck out to me. I was like, what is what does this mean? I don't understand what it means. But um we spent some money this week, got you a nice little present.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

I know my little coffee espresso machine.

SPEAKER_00 25:00

Got it an espresso machine, so we will never you will never you better never see a Hyundai Palisade with an Auburn tag in the Starbucks parking.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

Hey, I do still have like five dollars on the gift card though, so you should gift it to somebody nice. Oh, I should. I could I could probably do that. That would be really nice.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

It would be nice.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

Somebody doesn't have an espresso machine.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Think on that.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

Because we got this espresso machine, and this this better be the saving grace.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

It will be. We're learning how to use it.

SPEAKER_00 25:33

Will it? Are we? Are we?

SPEAKER_01 25:35

SPEAKER_00 25:39

The first day almost broke it.

SPEAKER_01 25:41

No, literally though.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

What was the first day? That was the the second day was the where the thing got stuck. Something happened in the first night, too.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

I don't remember the first night. I really I really don't remember that.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

SPEAKER_01 25:54

Something I we just were playing with and playing with and playing with it.

SPEAKER_00 25:57

Yeah. They're crazy. They're it's not easy. Like it's not a super easy thing to figure out. I didn't think it was gonna be as hard as it was. Uh but yeah, it's it is pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie. It's gonna be pretty cool to make like good coffee on the road. I didn't realize like a s I did not know, because I'm not a coffee connoisseur, that espresso is like the base of all these drinks. Yeah. Like that is how you make these things. Because I've always just made like black coffee.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Yeah, I know, no. Espresso is the way it's at. That's the base of most like anything that's a specialty coffee is gonna have espresso in it. It's a call brew.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

For sure. You're hiding by the mic. There's no way that anyone can see you over there.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

Am I? I'm literally I keep forgetting that it's like right here.
