00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:35,400
Please proceed with your own discussion.

4
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400
I'm Meg.

5
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Oh, they're starting.

6
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Hi, Meg.

7
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Hi, I'm Teresa and welcome to our podcast from teens to...

8
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
From teens to presecho queens.

9
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,400
Oh my God.

10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,400
So, I guess you can say we're back.

11
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,400
You know, we were hoping to do it monthly, but at this point we're getting quarterly and that's okay as well.

12
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,400
You know, our lives get in the way and we're talking to each other and we talk to each other very often.

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,400
But recording takes some time.

14
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:14,400
So, I'm so happy to be sitting with my girl, my lifer, one of my best friends in the whole world, and actually seeing her face.

15
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,400
And Megan, what are we talking about today?

16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,400
Today, it's part two of our nostalgia series.

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:30,400
We're going to be looking back in the past, present, and looking forward to the future, being that we're almost in the new year.

18
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,400
2023.

19
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,400
Can you believe that?

20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,400
No.

21
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,400
It's weird, right?

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Because think about it.

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,400
Everybody, we've told our history before about how we've known each other since we're 15.

24
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,400
That was like 98.

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,400
And to think...

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,400
No.

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,400
It's to think that in 1998, we were like 2023.

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,400
That number didn't even ring true in my brain as a number that we would see.

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400
And girl, we're going to be 40 this year.

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,400
I'm not.

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,400
No, I'm not.

32
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400
You still got a little longer than me, so it's okay.

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,400
But it's weird, right?

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Like, my mom will look at me and say, 40 is really young still.

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,400
And I'm like, I get that.

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,400
I get that in the grand scheme of things.

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,400
It is.

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,400
But, you know, it's...

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Looking back as we talk about nostalgia, I'm not exactly in the place I wanted to be at this age by any means.

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,400
You know, like, I didn't know where I wanted to be, but probably not where I've been, especially after the past couple of years.

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,400
And it's kind of weird when you think about it like that.

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,400
So when you hear that number, it seems like such an astronomical number to me, because I don't know how I got here.

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,400
Thank God that we got here.

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,400
Some people never did.

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Some people didn't.

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,400
But it's really crazy to me.

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Well, I don't feel like I'm going to be that age, but...

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,400
And girl, I'm sorry.

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,400
I was in college.

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,400
I don't think that we look like we're going to be that age.

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,400
Let's just cut to the chase.

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,400
There are some people that look older at that age or they're younger.

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,400
I don't feel like...

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,400
I feel like 40 is very different now than it was back in the day.

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400
I need to start getting Botox.

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,400
You're right here.

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,400
I do not need Botox.

58
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,400
Girl, please.

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
My lines.

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Maybe some eye cream, but we all need eye cream, right?

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,400
Like, forget it.

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,400
If I got a good solid eight hours sleep at night, I wouldn't need any eye cream at all.

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,400
That's where my issue lies is I'm a night owl, unfortunately.

64
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,400
I need to get that mask.

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,400
The mask that's infrared.

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Oh, the light mask.

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,400
They're great.

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,400
That's what I'm going to buy.

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,400
They're great.

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,400
They're definitely really good.

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,400
Anything that keeps us tight, right?

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,400
So what you guys listening may not know right now is the first time we're talking on Zoom.

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,400
We're doing this via Zoom.

74
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:57,400
So what I will post are like little pieces of it on IG as well before I actually put up the podcast.

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:05,400
But we're hoping, or my plan is to have this before two years because we want to be able to start the new year with a good episode.

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:12,400
And I know that our last episode at the very end, we talked about how we were going to talk about wellness this particular episode.

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:21,400
We discussed that being the fact that our last episode, we talked about so many movies and we didn't really touch a lot of like music, right?

78
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,400
We did Backstreet Boys because that's who we are.

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,400
Like we love our boys, our big, our big ass grown men now, right?

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:39,400
But I think that there's so much more music wise we could talk about as well as again, we wanted to touch on this past year in our lives.

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:51,400
And you know, if it was what we thought it was going to be or if it just was a regular year, as well as what we might think is what we want or what we might think for the coming year as well.

82
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,400
I give a little.

83
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
It's a regular year on crack.

84
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Bro?

85
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Crack would sound real good right now after my year.

86
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:08,400
I did find the LED light therapy mask at Shepard image for $130.

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
I don't even know if that's a good deal or not. So I'll just take your word for it.

88
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,400
I don't know either.

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,400
I've had a facial where they use it. I thought that was really cool. Yeah, that was really cool.

90
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
I need to look into this.

91
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Yeah, but I hear those are really good. People love them.

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,400
So I think we still have some time. I think we still have some time.

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:40,400
So I'm wondering, Megan, thinking back over the past year, thinking back maybe the past couple years, thinking back to even back in the 80s and 90s, we were originally started with this series.

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
For yourself.

95
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Did it turn out the way that you maybe maybe you didn't expect anything, right?

96
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,400
Maybe you were just kind of going at the, you know, the seat of your pants, right?

97
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Or some people just saying screw it. I'm just going through it. I'm a little bit every day and that's it.

98
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,400
But based on if you can look back, what, what did it feel like to you?

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Like what, I guess, what did, what did the time feel like to you?

100
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,400
It went really fast this year. I mean, I had a lot going on personally.

101
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:18,400
It's going to pan out the way I wanted it to, but it definitely learned a lot and looking forward to next year and we'll see what happens.

102
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,400
Well, in what way you can share, did it not pan out the way you thought or that you want to share?

103
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Well, let's see. I did get promoted at my real jobs. That was good.

104
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,400
That's good. Yeah.

105
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:39,400
We'll see. We'll see if it turns out to be what I thought it was going to be or figure it out.

106
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:48,400
I think that's, I think that's true. You know, and you got a very nice little stable home life, which is nice as well to have that, to have that support.

107
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,400
That's always nice. Yeah.

108
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:57,400
I also don't have kids. So that's huge. That's the huge part of my sanity.

109
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,400
You are the reason you're able to sleep all night.

110
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,400
I can sleep. I can come and go as I please. It's wonderful.

111
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Yeah. No, I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I think for me, I thought with the pandemic that was traumatic and awful, all of us, right?

112
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,400
And regardless of how we all handled it, whether it was someone was drinking more than others.

113
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:32,400
And I say some of us, I wasn't actually one of them, to be honest with you. I was still working, but I worked from home and the kids, you know, in school from home and my husband at home and everything else.

114
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:45,400
But yeah, I think I was telling you earlier this past year, if I could wake up and most of this past year was a dream, that would be ideal.

115
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:55,400
You know, maybe in a future episode, if I'm a little more comfortable going into detail, I would, but although my husband weirdly enough told me that if I wanted to share it, I could tell.

116
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,400
I was like, I don't know. I'm going to go there.

117
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:04,400
But not yet. But you know, you know, Megan knows I've had a very traumatic year.

118
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:20,400
And only some people very, very close to me know details of that. And, you know, it's changed me, I really believe, on a cellular level of who I am, probably down to my DNA.

119
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:30,400
And I think that's, I think when I look back now to, as I look back to it and I continue to go through it.

120
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,400
By the way, that's, if you hear that, that's that's Megan's hubby background.

121
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400
You can hear him.

122
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,400
He's making me laugh.

123
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:56,400
So I think, for me, the biggest takeaway of how traumatic this year was, was one, one of the biggest takeaways, one, you can't control people.

124
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,400
You cannot control everything in your surroundings.

125
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Realistically, not that I ever thought that I could, but you know, I'm very type of personality, Megan, you're a very type of personality.

126
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,400
You can't control other people's actions.

127
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:20,400
You can't. And you can't control other people's hearts and minds. And, you know, and it doesn't matter how much you do for people, they're going to be who they are.

128
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:27,400
You know what I mean? It's as simple as that. They're going to be who they are. And, you know, it's, that that's the first thing that I learned.

129
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,400
I learned that you can't control every situation. You know what I mean? Like you just can't.

130
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,400
I also learned it's okay to show when you're not okay.

131
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,400
You know, we were raised and you can attest to this too, because we talked about this in probably our first episode.

132
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:49,400
We were raised not really to show emotions. Right. We were raised with parents that didn't show emotions.

133
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:55,400
We were raised that if you cried, okay, well, you know, to keep crying, we'll make you cry more or whatever the case may be.

134
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:02,400
And I've learned that I don't want, I don't do that to my kids. You know what I mean? They see when I'm upset and I try not to do it all the time, but I don't hide it either.

135
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Because I want them to know mommy's moving, you know, and find that things hurt mommy and things, you know, life doesn't always work out the way we expect it to work out.

136
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:17,400
And I think so there's a few different and also that people will come and go in and out of your life.

137
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Yeah, and I think like people come in your lives or leave your life as like when you need it, when you need it.

138
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Because that's what I've noticed where there's a lot of people that, or people that let's say you wouldn't normally be friends with.

139
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Or you're just going through the same thing or you have the same hobbies or the same interests or like whatever that there's certain people that come into your life at the time that you need them.

140
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Yeah. Yeah, it's really true. And it's like, and it doesn't mean that people don't come and go doesn't mean that people don't stay.

141
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:58,400
There's just so many different facets of it right with the experience and so crazy and then I think about again our relationship right like we could speak every day for like weeks,

142
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,400
or we can go like three months and be like, I haven't spoken to Megan. How should we do it right?

143
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:14,400
But we've been talking, we've known each other since we're 15. And it's still like we pick up like, you know, like we, like we never left off, you know, we pick up like if we, you know, you know what I mean, right?

144
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:22,400
It's really interesting how that works. So 2023 for me, I'm empowering myself, I think.

145
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:32,400
I'm finally going to take back the power of myself. I feel like so much of my power has been stripped this year. You know, and that's hard to kind of take back that you have to do it.

146
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:40,400
You have to know that, you know, as you can't control other people's behaviors, other people's reactions to your reaction. I've learned that as well.

147
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Man, people will piss you off with a second you stand up for yourself all of a sudden you're difficult. Right. Like all of a sudden you're the problem.

148
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:59,400
And I'm like, you know what, screw you if you can't handle the fact that you're the problem. You know what I mean? Like that's the part I am like, I'm getting so closer to learning boundaries.

149
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:09,400
You know, boundaries are huge. Me and you have talked about boundaries before with our families, with our friends, with in-laws, with coworkers.

150
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Having those boundaries is so hard, but it is essential to mental health and to moving on and healing ourselves from past traumas too.

151
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Because for me, this year feels like it's just been a culmination of decades of trauma on top of decades of trauma.

152
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:39,400
It's all about trying to empower yourself and get that power back. And I think in general, us as women, we need to do that no matter what our trauma was in life.

153
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:49,400
You know, and that's why I know you haven't always had it easy as well by any means. And people may look at Megan because she looks like the quintessential person that would have no problems.

154
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,400
True. I don't show emotion.

155
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:05,400
And that's a huge part of it, right? But that's not the case. Like you have had, you know, severe stuff happen in your life and you've had traumatic events and some recently as well.

156
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:13,400
So I think that it's really important. So I'm declaring 2023, putting it out there in the universe, manifesting for both of us.

157
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Megan doesn't really believe this, but I'm going to give it to her anyway.

158
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,400
I believe in karma. I just don't believe it.

159
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Yes, I just why I'm going to take the fall for you and I'm going to say 2023. The best is yet to be.

160
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,400
What do you think? I think that every year. I mean, I definitely want to travel more next year.

161
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,400
There you go. Put it out there.

162
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,400
I was on travel though.

163
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,400
Yeah, and we can tell our listeners don't forget.

164
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:49,400
Not everybody believes it. Sure. Manifestation is real. You put out what you get back.

165
00:13:49,400 --> 00:14:04,400
When you talk negatively and you have negative self-talk especially, you know, it's going to it's going to hinder your ability to bring anything positive, you know, and it's a known thing.

166
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:11,400
We are energy, right? We are energy and that doesn't mean that bad things don't happen to good people. Hello.

167
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:21,400
It doesn't mean that. It just means that, you know, understanding that the world is going to keep going regardless of how you react to it.

168
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,400
You just have to try to take everything and strive and go for the best, you know.

169
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:33,400
That's true. Going back to bring your own energy. I take this class on Peloton with this one instructor and that's her thing.

170
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,400
Bring your own energy. That's your tagline.

171
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:50,400
She's so annoying when I like her. I don't know if I would be friends with her. She's super bubbly and I'm like, alternative.

172
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,400
Yes, you're like Daria.

173
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Yeah, I'm exactly like Daria. I was Daria for Halloween.

174
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,400
Yeah.

175
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,400
But um, yeah.

176
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,400
And I get it. I get it, yeah.

177
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:10,400
Like it's too bubbly, but I love her classes. Like they're great. But sometimes I'm just like shut the fuck up.

178
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:18,400
I could see that though. There are people that I'm like sometimes like there are some people that I sit there and go, come on, you are not like this 24 seven.

179
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:28,400
Like there's gotta be. She's cute. Like she's cute. Like she's cute. But I'm just like, give me some of your uppers.

180
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,400
I always say that too. I laugh because my boss, it didn't matter.

181
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,400
My boss every day would be like that. Like every day, even on Monday, she'd be like, Hey guys.

182
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,400
And I'm like, what are you on because I need it. Like whatever, whatever you're on.

183
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,400
I said, I said my team pictures of Garfield. So that's, that's, that's me.

184
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,400
That's true. I never would have thought it up. But yes, oh, that is you for sure.

185
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Like, please don't call me. Call me again now.

186
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:06,400
I have had no coffee yet. No, nothing yet. You know, so it's, it's, it's really this, this whole, the whole thing is just great.

187
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,400
I don't know. It's so crazy, you know, and I don't know. I think, I think really now that I'm thinking about it.

188
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,400
All of the stuff, you know, we want us to talk about, okay, wellness and health, right?

189
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:21,400
And we were going to talk about nostalgia and we're talking about the new year. So much of that comes together.

190
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,400
Music, music ties into that because music can change your mood.

191
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Hell yeah. And that's why to this day, and you can completely appreciate this.

192
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Because I know you're exactly the same way. There is nothing.

193
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Music and fitness.

194
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,400
That's right.

195
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,400
Together.

196
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,400
That's right. And there's nothing like our old school music.

197
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:46,400
We've talked about this the last one. We said it when we don't have to necessarily go into that again, but we talked about how her, I mean, well,

198
00:16:46,400 --> 00:17:00,400
when I'm feeling any type of way, I have music I can go to to either make me feel better or let me sit in that pain or that, that feeling I need to sit in for a little bit.

199
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,400
And then move on, move on and keep going. You know what I'm saying? Like,

200
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:12,400
I need to like the emo feels. Oh, that's, that's the one other thing I want to do next year is get back into Zuma possibly.

201
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,400
I was going to ask you. That was my next question.

202
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:21,400
I don't know. After I just, I have to find somewhere to do it. I just don't, I'm not going to do it somewhere just to do it.

203
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:27,400
I have to be in the mood to dedicate to it. It's just not, I don't feel like doing it right now.

204
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,400
I don't know if we've mentioned to our listeners that Megan is a certified Zuma instructor for years now.

205
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,400
It's not hard to get certified.

206
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,400
It doesn't matter.

207
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,400
But there's some people that are certified that shouldn't have no business doing it.

208
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,400
That's facts.

209
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,400
That is facts.

210
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:50,400
And I'll tell you what though, Megan, I've taken her class for years, but even before Megan was in her shoulder, we took classes together for years.

211
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,400
I think I remember starting Zuma when it came out on the DHS tapes that I would do in my basement when I was like 17.

212
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,400
And then we would take me and Megan would take classes together in our 20s in the gym.

213
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:05,400
And I was going to with Megan probably what 10 years ago, I think so close to maybe eight.

214
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,400
No, no, no, maybe not take close, let us in a decade.

215
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,400
We were going to take the certification class together and I just couldn't afford it at the time.

216
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,400
And Megan was certified.

217
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400
They're certified in 2015.

218
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:27,400
And then I got my own class and the pandemic happened and then I took classes like here and there, but then my gym closed.

219
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,400
Let me tell you guys, Megan, not just being one of my best friends, not just knowing her as I know her, she is a fantastic instructor.

220
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,400
Like I do wish that she can surprisingly surprise.

221
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,400
Let me tell you, I'm surprised. I seen her in the clubs when we were teenagers. I'm surprised she got a little she got a little groove thanks to her.

222
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,400
So I would love again for Megan.

223
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:56,400
I always said I wish Megan would do a live class that you know, a bunch of us could join in and maybe one day do it too.

224
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,400
One day, maybe.

225
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,400
Maybe when it gets nice out.

226
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:09,400
Yeah, but she's an amazing instructor like she really is. And I also think maybe one day, you know, maybe maybe do like a Zumba YouTube live or something.

227
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,400
And then you know, you can do something like that. People do that as well. They do a lot of them live.

228
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,400
I don't like doing that. You need a whole thing and it's just it's a pain. I've done it. It's pain in the ass.

229
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:25,400
Because it's hard. You can't you can't like really see and it's like, I don't like doing it. I've done it like twice.

230
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,400
Like in the early on in the pandemic.

231
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Yeah, Zoe, it's hard to hear the music. There's a lag. It's just no.

232
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,400
And I don't I don't like doing it.

233
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,400
And honestly, it's true. There's nothing like being there experiencing.

234
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,400
Oh, yeah.

235
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,400
I don't know. Like I get it. Some people do it. It works.

236
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,400
But I want to do it.

237
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,400
And I'm going to tell everybody I am so picky about my Zumba classes.

238
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:57,400
Like I, you know, I'm very picky about like I have someone to tell me, oh, yeah, no, this instructor is good.

239
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:07,400
Or this instructor is good. Check it out. You know what I'm saying? Like for me to just walk into we have now I just I see them doing Zumba and I'm like, I don't know if I want to do it.

240
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,400
And then, you know, and I'll just kind of watch and I'll listen to the music. The music matters, right?

241
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,400
Like all of that is different in it. You know, all of them is different.

242
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,400
And I'll say because you have such an eclectic music taste.

243
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:29,400
Your whole style of Zumba is very different than others as well. It's not just Latin music.

244
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Yours is an eclectic brand of all kinds of different music. And that makes it that makes it so much better as well. I think.

245
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Yeah, I like I prefer to do like like world music versus just like class like straight out.

246
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,400
Exactly. Exactly.

247
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,400
I get bored with stuff really fast too.

248
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:57,400
So what's interesting is that on my phone, I get I have an app called motivation, right?

249
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:05,400
And during the day, it sends me quotes and all kinds of stuff, you know, positive shit or just just just shit that sometimes you know, you need to see, right?

250
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,400
But what's funny is that we're talking about all this transformation and we're talking about being healthy and working out everything else.

251
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,400
And it's a quote from Schitt's Creek from David Rose. And it says, I think one of the most.

252
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:21,400
Right. It says, I think one of the most important attributes is perseverance.

253
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:28,400
And I thought that fits in so well. Right. Like that. I think when people become complacent.

254
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,400
That's when that's when shit hits the fan.

255
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:41,400
I think the whole point of life is to persevere and try to do as best as you can and keep going.

256
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:54,400
So the only thing you can do is move forward regardless of what obstacles you run into or, you know, when you fall on your face, you got to stand up and move on.

257
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,400
Yeah. Yeah. One thing Megan and I will be discussing at the end.

258
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:08,400
Last, you know, last episode we did trivia, but this time we're going to look at our 2023 horoscopes for our signs and kind of just see if, again, we don't make it doesn't really believe in that stuff.

259
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:17,400
And I don't know that I believe in it 100%, but I do like to use it as a kind of like a roadmap to kind of have an idea because sometimes they're spot on other times.

260
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,400
There's ridiculous, right. But just to kind of get an idea to see what we're looking towards.

261
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:31,400
So Megan, we were talking about music, right and how it can bring us back to a time that makes us feel better.

262
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:38,400
That's how it makes us feel worse. Music might bring us back to something that happened in the past.

263
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,400
So what other than, you know, again, back to voice because we've talked about that.

264
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Well, we know how we feel about them, but being a dead horse with that.

265
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:55,400
For you back in the exactly back in the day. What was some and again, I know a lot of it with you too, because we had a lot of the same.

266
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:08,400
We also have very different tastes in certain music. So like, what are some of the things that you may still listen to or that you listen to back then that really either did something for you or just made you happy or made you feel any type of way?

267
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:14,400
I would have to go with Justin Timberlake, the first album.

268
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Oh, yeah.

269
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,400
Oh, I don't even know what you're putting in.

270
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,400
I want to say maybe 2000.

271
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,400
I don't know. It's a good trivia question, right?

272
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,400
No, it is. Let's say Justin Timberlake.

273
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:39,400
Yeah, maybe 2000, maybe 2002. No, I think 2009 or 20, 2001.

274
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,400
1999. No.

275
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,400
Oh, 2002. November, November 5th, 2002.

276
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,400
It's like, when I hear Senorita or just, it just brings me back to college.

277
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,400
Oh, my God. Or college or was it what goes around comes around on that one too?

278
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,400
Yes. And my other favorite album is because I think his older stuff is better.

279
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,400
It's Future Sex Love Sounds when he was dating Cameron Diaz.

280
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:16,400
I just cannot stand the first single off of that album, still to this day, the one where Sexy Back.

281
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,400
That was on that one, right? That was the main, because it just didn't sound like it to me.

282
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,400
It was so, it was so, it just, it just, to this day, weirdly enough, I'll sing it.

283
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,400
Yeah.

284
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,400
But that album was fire. Yes, it really was. Oh my God.

285
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,400
I can't believe you just used fire.

286
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,400
I did it again. No.

287
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,400
I did it last time also. No.

288
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:43,400
You know what? You know what it is? Again, it's when you type in stuff and you use fire, it comes out.

289
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,400
Again, I live with a kid. I live and I live with a baby boy now who's obsessed with Fortnite.

290
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,400
So he'll randomly be like, oh, this is fire. Oh, Fortnite.

291
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,400
Oh, for anybody who's listening, yeah, I don't know what Fortnite is.

292
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:02,400
It is a fantasy game for, you know, it's a video game. It's like a fantasy game.

293
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,400
And you go around, you land in different areas and you basically fight and kill people.

294
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:14,400
While you're doing it, you have like these different skins or characters that you put on and different kinds of weapons and you bring all kinds of things.

295
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,400
So, but I have a six year old who's obsessed right now and he's so damn good.

296
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:26,400
Like he's so damn good. Like I watch his little teeny tiny hands on this giant thing, this controller and I'm just like, come on, really?

297
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,400
But like, he's so, he's so good. We don't let him use the headphones and talk to people because I don't want to talk to him.

298
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:41,400
But it's funny because he will sit with you two in front of him on this tablet where he's watching people play and he learns glitches and he learns how to do this crazy crap.

299
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:49,400
So it's really weird. So it's like, yeah, so fire happens a lot in my house and it comes out when I least expect it.

300
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,400
Apparently that's what happens. Oh my gosh. That's what happens. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah.

301
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,400
You don't have the same affliction inside your house.

302
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:08,400
No, no, no, no, no. You know, there is an album that I go to. There's a few of them, obviously, but there's an album I go to that I still think and people can argue with me.

303
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:16,400
I want to. That is one of my favorite. One of the best of the 90s, if not fantastically of all times is Supernatural by Santana.

304
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Oh, that was good. With a smooth with a Rob Tom.

305
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,400
Oh, yeah, with smooth. I mean, with Maria Maria. We had Lauren Hill.

306
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:31,400
It had Rob Thomas. It had you go like cherry like this whole album is beyond like it is amazing.

307
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,400
And if no one has heard it or seen it, I am for you right now. Go get it. Get it on iTunes.

308
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:48,400
I just told my daughter the other day and there are some instrumentals on it and I will put this CD or album or play it on iTunes, whatever we do now on and just some of the instrumentals alone.

309
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:55,400
I'll just sit back and be like, damn, you know, it'll take me back to that time because it is a fantastic, fantastic album.

310
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,400
It is just one of those. And Santana is amazing. It always has been. But oh my God.

311
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,400
I love Rob Thomas. He is so good. Like that's why I like to.

312
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,400
Rob Thomas is great.

313
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,400
Yep. Matt Sparks won. He was fantastic. Yes. Yes.

314
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,400
We've had so many really good collaborations, like amongst different genres.

315
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:20,400
Like he's he's definitely won even still, I think now he does like a lot of TV production and that type of thing.

316
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,400
But he's just very talented and he's he's a very eclectic artist, I think.

317
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,400
He just did one I saw on the view the other day with this older. She's a she's a this older singer.

318
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,400
Her name is Darlene Love. And back in the 60s, she did they call her like the Queen of Christmas.

319
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,400
I know Mariah Carey kind of seemed to take over that with all I want for Christmas is you.

320
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,400
But she baby it's something I forgot something Christmas song that came out in the 60s.

321
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,400
She sang and is one of the biggest Christmas songs.

322
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,400
Baby it's cold outside. No, it's not that one. It's it's something something Christmas.

323
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,400
I forgot if you look at Christmas baby, please come home.

324
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,400
Yes. Christmas baby, please come home. Yes. And she's performing this and Rob Thomas was just on the view singing it with her.

325
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,400
Like they did a collab for her new Christmas album as well.

326
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaking of Rob Thomas, this was last week. I was just watching him on the view and I haven't seen him for like 10 years.

327
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,400
Yeah. Yeah, she is. Yeah. Very nice. Very beautiful. The lady.

328
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,400
And so she's in the in the Ronettes. Ronettes.

329
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,400
Is she see you learn something every day. I had no idea. I just knew her name. So there you go.

330
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:25,400
You know, so yeah, Rob Thomas is amazing. I laugh. I think of Mark like Mark McGrath.

331
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,400
Remember that Mark McGrath was huge back then and those kind of in those sugar.

332
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,400
Yeah, sugar rain that in that whole genre. Right.

333
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:41,400
But one thing we didn't talk about a lot two things last time was the female music influences of the 90s.

334
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:47,400
Right. Yeah. And we touched on it. But I realized I we talked about Selena, right? That's great.

335
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:56,400
I forgot TLC. So yeah, saw him pepper. I mean, there was TLC saw him pepper. There was and vote and vote.

336
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,400
We're talking J. We're talking, I mean, I again, the list is another one.

337
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,400
That was bad. Bad boy records. Total. Total. Total was huge.

338
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Faith Evans. I mean, like we can keep the amount of girl groups that was Queen Latifah.

339
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,400
There was MC lights. And she's freaking beautiful and phenomenal.

340
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,400
There's MC lights. There were people please send us again.

341
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,400
Little Kim. Little Kim. Foxy Brown.

342
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,400
I mean, I get a lot of. You know, boxy brown. I mean, and it was every genre. Right. It wasn't just like, OK, one was here.

343
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:39,400
One was there. They were bad ass in every single genre. Look at country pop. We had Shania Twain.

344
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Right. She was in the 90s. Carrie Underwood came up. What?

345
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Early 2000s. Black. Oh, remember that?

346
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Bring it on. In sync. No, she's a.

347
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,400
From it. Exactly. Exactly. And it goes. It goes on and on.

348
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,400
You know, I was thinking again about three LW.

349
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,400
W. They were a little younger than us. Three LW.

350
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Oh, Danny D. Kane. I like them. They were like super slutty.

351
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Well, because you hit the nail on the head.

352
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,400
Destiny's Child. Yeah. Oh, OK. Thank you. Destiny's Child. Because.

353
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,400
Piancé. Piancé. But Destiny's Child. She didn't have a gray all or all on her own.

354
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,400
Exactly. But Destiny's Child. Let's do. You know, they were so phenomenal as a group.

355
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,400
Like phenomenal. Again, like I say with TLC. Let me tell you 1994's Red Lights Special.

356
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,400
Crazy Sexy Fool. I still am again. I was the gray album.

357
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,400
This day is one of the best probably ever created.

358
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,400
It is just fantastic. And it holds true still to this day.

359
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,400
That entire album. It is unbelievable. Unbelievable.

360
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,400
I mean, I feel like a lot, even though I feel like a lot of artists,

361
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,400
like their first album is the best album. I mean, even like switching gears,

362
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,400
even like usher like that, like nice and slow. Oh my God.

363
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,400
Let me tell you. Sure.

364
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,400
R&B is not what it like what it used to be.

365
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Because I mean like babyface. I mean, he's written so many songs.

366
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,400
Brian McKnight is just. Drew Hill. Joe. Drew Hill, Cisco.

367
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,400
Oh my God. Like, Joe to see.

368
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,400
There are so many of them. They're just, it's, it's not voice to men.

369
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,400
We didn't even talk about voice to men last time. I, listen, I wasn't.

370
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,400
I was insulted at myself. I wasn't insulted at myself.

371
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,400
I was like, I got myself the, we got off last time. I said, how did we not mention voice to men?

372
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Do you know what I heard like a week ago when I was driving to the store?

373
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,400
I heard Bobby Brown like humping around.

374
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,400
Oh, and you know what? Bobby Brown's old shit is fire.

375
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,400
I said it. I said it. Okay. Like his voice. I just couldn't.

376
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,400
I was too like, I don't know. I loved all of them.

377
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,400
I lived to bow only had like one good, one song. They had it. Yeah.

378
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,400
And Tevin Campbell was another one. Oh, yeah.

379
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Tevin Campbell and, and, and genuine, although.

380
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Oh yeah. You see videos now, genuine. And it's like, Poppy, please stop.

381
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:29,400
It's like, you can still see some of that other stuff. Maybe slow it down a notch, you know, it's a, it's a little much for me now.

382
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:35,400
But, you know, there's so many influences that we had growing up.

383
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:46,400
And to this day, I, like I said, I put that on a pedestal, right? Like I put that music on a pedestal just because I, you know what is I know what I need for the time that I needed.

384
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,400
Right. Like I had, I had.

385
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,400
You need, you need like, right. You need like thrice or like heavy.

386
00:32:53,400 --> 00:33:04,400
And right. I had on ever will be the other day. I really shouldn't laugh because I don't like the pop stuff. But like her like slow, her slower songs are actually, they're good.

387
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:12,400
Yes. Yes. I literally had her on the other day and I was like, Oh my God, this song is like touching me right now. Like I needed this right now.

388
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,400
So there's, she is a, she is a good songwriter. Yeah. Yeah.

389
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:24,400
And when I think back to like, I looked some of the same and I go, she was a really good singer too. Like she had, she has going for her. We saw her. Do you remember?

390
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400
Yeah. With the back. With the back.

391
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,400
I went to see boys to men. Me and my sister a couple weeks ago.

392
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,400
Oh, really?

393
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:38,400
We did. We saw them at NJ pack and it was fantastic. They really, really were the place was damn near sold out.

394
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,400
They put on a whole like it was an hour and a half of a show.

395
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:50,400
Yeah. It was a real, and it was like boom, boom, boom hour and a half. We've been to concerts where they bullshit for like a while. No, you can tell they were like, we get through this.

396
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:57,400
Like who else we didn't talk about? Jenna Jackson, Rosie, Monica. Thank you.

397
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,400
Oh, remember Sofria? Sofria, we got you.

398
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Okay. Then there's also one.

399
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:05,400
Tony Braxton.

400
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,400
So, and then there's also one from Issa.

401
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,400
I swear. And I can love you like that. Color me bad. Ghost town DJs.

402
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Tell me bad. I was like, you know, 10 years old talking about I want to sexy you up.

403
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:27,400
Oh my God. Now, my kids were singing. I'd be like, Oh, sing on us. But I was a kid singing this these all these songs, right?

404
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,400
And you're like Mary J Blige.

405
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,400
Oh my God. The list keeps going.

406
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,400
They're singing and all of them are still relevant today.

407
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:44,400
They are because you tell me, could you even name any R&B singers? No, I couldn't. I couldn't.

408
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:52,400
I'm sure they're I'm sure they're out there. I really am. However, I don't know that they have the same impact or that they have the same.

409
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:59,400
No, no, no, as the ones that we're used to and the ones that were growing up. But I definitely don't. I think that they're I'm sure they have.

410
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:05,400
I'm sure there's great ones. I'm sure there's great ones out there. But it's just very different now. I think the whole impact is very different.

411
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:13,400
You know, as a Z, as the A who is a C is a CZA. She's a few say that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

412
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:20,400
You said as the A right? Yeah. That's CZA. Yeah. You know, and that's another one too. That's the thing. We have so many.

413
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:26,400
I mean, like I like Lizzo now. She's not actually R&B. I don't really know what she's considered if she's considered pop or whatever.

414
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:32,400
I would say she's pop. Yeah, but I love because you know, she plays the flute. She's a floutist and she plays the flute. She's fantastic.

415
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,400
You know what I mean? She's not even like a singer. She said herself. She just she plays her flute and it just became a thing.

416
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:45,400
And I think she's great. She's really good at her music is good. So there's so many. There's so much out there now that even I'm not necessarily aware of.

417
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:51,400
But I still look back and I still look back because it's easy to look back while you're looking forward. Yeah.

418
00:35:51,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Because I feel like a lot of what I went through back in the day up till probably this morning will help me, you know, going forward.

419
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:07,400
And I don't think there's anything wrong with doing nostalgic and wanting and wanting that feeling of what we thought were simpler times.

420
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:14,400
Right. You know, when you when I look back at what I have what I weighed in my mind, they were simpler. They were simpler times.

421
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:22,400
I wish right. They were simpler. But also we they were. But we also didn't have all these means of communication or.

422
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,400
Oh, depressing. Or apps like all that.

423
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:32,400
All those types of things either. Yeah. I mean, I'm glad we didn't we didn't have any of that stuff.

424
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Oh, I was telling Natalie. I was telling Natalie and we're all going to find this really funny.

425
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:46,400
Megan and I listen. First of all, it was normal. These were what girls did guys did it too. We have like photo shoots, you know, with our disposable cameras and everything else.

426
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:52,400
And then I was thinking about today I was telling my daughter about that. And I was like, oh my God, we're worried about things being online today.

427
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,400
Imagine the creepers who were developing these films.

428
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:02,400
But even now I get developing these films and looking at them and saying came through the young girls.

429
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,400
And the way we could tell you to think about that. Did you know? But oh, no, now I am.

430
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,400
But even now, though, like I'll get I mean, I don't get like dirty pictures develop.

431
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:19,400
But I mean, when I sent pictures for like from like vacation or like vacation, I think people, you know, people are looking at those.

432
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,400
But they're printing them out. Exactly. Exactly. Oh my God. That's crazy.

433
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:32,400
You know, they you know, they were you know, they are. I mean, even you know, even like, you know, our digital footprint, you don't know who's looking at that stuff.

434
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Very true. Very true. Oh my God. You know, we were talking about dance hall. Dance hall was one of my favorites.

435
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,400
Oh, yeah.

436
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:49,400
And the players there was Lou Juvanshan, there was Sasha, there was Diana King, Sean Paul, I don't know if Shaggy's considered dance hall or if he's I'm not quite sure.

437
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:56,400
But you know, he's gone. Yes, he was a crossover. That's why. Because he was a little yeah, he had some stuff to and freestyle.

438
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,400
We forgot freestyle. I mean, like, I don't know what freestyle is.

439
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,400
Thank you. I was going to ask you because growing up in New York freestyle was huge.

440
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,400
I have no idea what that is.

441
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,400
And I was going to ask you if in Jersey they had it. I can't honestly.

442
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,400
I don't even know what that is.

443
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:18,400
I can't even explain it to you when we're done here looking up and listen to it. Unfortunately, because of licensing, you can't actually play any of it.

444
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:29,400
We're trying to suck. I would love to play some of it. But realistically, look it up and anybody who has grew up in that area, no freestyle, send it to Megan.

445
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,400
She'll know.

446
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,400
I can't even explain it to be honest with you. Like that was even funny about it.

447
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,400
So I don't even know what it is.

448
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,400
I don't know.

449
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:52,400
So, you know, Meg, we've talked a lot about what we went through, what we hope for, and what we've learned.

450
00:38:52,400 --> 00:39:01,400
And so I think to end this podcast and to hopefully a prosperous 2023 and healthy and blessed.

451
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,400
I said it Megan and blessed.

452
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,400
New year.

453
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,400
So I'm going to end this podcast with our horoscopes and I'll start with mine.

454
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,400
So for a Pisces, I'm a Pisces. I'm March 10.

455
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,400
I'm not going to read the whole thing. I'll just give you all a just an idea.

456
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:26,400
2023 is not a bad year for Pisces as a whole, especially the first half of the year, no matter what you do, it will be exceptionally smooth.

457
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,400
But you also can make many like minded good friends.

458
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,400
Pisces will get a lot of new opportunities in 2023 and we continue to get promoted and raised.

459
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,400
Pisces will make a lot of money in 2023, but it comes with some risks.

460
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,400
Well wouldn't it.

461
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,400
Pisces will encounter some emotional problems in 2023.

462
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,400
That's not shocking because 2022 was a doozy.

463
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,400
You will eventually have a peaceful love and marriage life. That's all I asked for.

464
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,400
And my health horoscope.

465
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,400
Pisces will be in good health in 2023 and will not be hit by severe illnesses, but minor ailments will be unavoidable.

466
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,400
This year we should pay attention to body maintenance.

467
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:08,400
I'm going to close that off. That is something that I've been paying attention to because you know, when you are stressed and you are emotionally drained, your body goes with that.

468
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,400
Right. So it's about trying to get your body and your mind centered and get it right.

469
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,400
What about you, Megan? Anything for Gemini?

470
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,400
Oh, I found a really long one. There we go.

471
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:29,400
It says, although the season tends to be super social and full of the exact level of travel and doozy thrive on, it's probably been a bit sleepier this year.

472
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:41,400
I'd beg to differ. After all, you're kicking off 2023 with your ruler messenger mercury moving backward through your intimacy sector and throwing your focus on pretty heavy matters of the heart.

473
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:50,400
You've been asking yourself what makes you comfortable within your closest bond and how you can continue or even better nurture whatever that is.

474
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,400
Interesting.

475
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,400
We'll see what happens.

476
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,400
Yeah.

477
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,400
Like I said, we can just put that try as hard as we can with that positive energy out there and hope for the best, right?

478
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,400
Because that's really all we can do.

479
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,400
We can just take one foot, one step at a time and take care of ourselves.

480
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,400
Everybody take care of yourself. Remember that out there.

481
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,400
It's important. Take care of your soul, your mind, your body, your spirit, your emotions.

482
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,400
Don't be afraid to reach out when you need it.

483
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:24,400
If anything, we've noticed that people don't reach out when they're feeling any type of way.

484
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,400
And that's just, that's just, you know, headed for a disaster.

485
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,400
And there's so much.

486
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Put yourself first.

487
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,400
Yeah. Put yourself first. Take care of yourself.

488
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:41,400
Don't let people drain the crap out of you because people are drains and it doesn't matter if they're family, friends, if it's a toxic relationship, take care of that shift.

489
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,400
Put yourself first and learn how to do that.

490
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:57,400
And to me, I feel like I'm preaching from the choir, but that's something that I'm working on myself, you know, and don't let people drain your energy because it just, it's just, you'll be the one to get sick off of it before somebody else does.

491
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,400
Well, also, if you, but if you also like take care of yourself and better yourself, it will trickle out eventually.

492
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,400
Oh my God. Yeah, you are so correct.

493
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,400
You know, what is again, it's that same idea that positive attracts positive, right?

494
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:16,400
It's the same shit when you're, when you're around someone who's just got dark negative energy and aura, you can feel that shit.

495
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,400
They're called energy suckers and it's a real thing.

496
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,400
And I think that if I'm an energy sucker, you can be.

497
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,400
You can be.

498
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,400
What? Here's the thing though. So can I.

499
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400
Everybody is an energy sucker though.

500
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:42,400
This past year I told my cousin, I said, I don't think I'm very good company that times this year because what I've gone through, I feel like sometimes it becomes just this thing where I'm just viewing it because I'm just not thinking about it.

501
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:47,400
It's just because it's like when you have no one to talk to about certain things, sometimes you try to get it out and you don't realize, right?

502
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,400
And that becomes, then I feel afterwards, holy shit, that I just sucked a life out of somebody with this shit, right?

503
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:58,400
And you can, but if you have a really solid foundation of people that care for you, that's what they're there for.

504
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,400
Right? So to sit there and feel you and listen to that.

505
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,400
And that's what's really important.

506
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:10,400
And I, I wish that for you, Megan, because I love you and I wish that for all of our listeners, friends, family, everybody are happy and prosperous new year.

507
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,400
I'm down with jays.

508
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,400
Right.

509
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,400
Enjoy juries.

510
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
