this up here. I probably should just move it

00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:45.949
up to the top eventually, but I can't do that.

00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:52.169
Anyway, without further ado, today my guest is

00:02:52.169 --> 00:02:56.110
Anna Laura Brown, who's going to talk about what

00:02:56.110 --> 00:03:01.389
it's like being healthy and happy with autism.

00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:08.449
So before we dive into everything further, can

00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:10.449
you tell me a little bit about who you are, what

00:03:10.449 --> 00:03:14.110
you do, and how you got started? Yeah, for sure.

00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.969
Absolutely. Yeah. So like I said, my name is

00:03:15.969 --> 00:03:18.150
Anna Laura Brown and I do actually go by both

00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:21.009
Anna Laura. Even though it's two names, kind

00:03:21.009 --> 00:03:22.569
of unique. It was my great -great -grandmother's

00:03:22.569 --> 00:03:25.150
name. So when I was born, my parents decided,

00:03:25.409 --> 00:03:27.310
or my mom really, especially because it was my

00:03:27.310 --> 00:03:29.629
mom's great -great -grandmother, decided that

00:03:29.629 --> 00:03:31.789
she wanted to name me after her great -great

00:03:31.789 --> 00:03:33.770
-grandmother, which she obviously had never met

00:03:33.770 --> 00:03:35.870
her, but she liked the name and decided to use

00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:38.770
it. So as a result, I've always gone by both

00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:43.860
names. And I... I was very, very sick as a baby.

00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.740
Actually, I was only 17 months old and I actually

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:48.879
almost died. And I tell the story actually in

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.039
a self -published book on Amazon that I wrote

00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.159
recently that is called The Spectrum of Miracles

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.819
Healthy. a healthy, happy living guide for parents

00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:02.099
of children with autism. And so I self -published

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:04.580
that on Amazon, tells my story, but basically

00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:07.340
the doctors more or less think that that is why

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.560
I'm on the autism spectrum is because of this

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.819
illness that I had as a baby that I said that

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:15.379
I almost died from. And I got my diagnosis at

00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:17.680
the age of five back in the early 1980s, which

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.779
is actually really unusual because back then,

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.509
you know, autism wasn't as big a deal. especially

00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:26.870
in females you know people just kind of they

00:04:26.870 --> 00:04:29.930
didn't we had our quirks and it was kind of like

00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:32.189
okay well whatever but because i had been so

00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:36.209
sick and one of the side effects of the illness

00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:37.949
that i had it's actually called rye syndrome

00:04:37.949 --> 00:04:41.170
so if you've ever looked on the back of bottles

00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:44.009
of aspirin or tylenol a lot of times it will

00:04:44.009 --> 00:04:47.709
say don't give it to a baby because of risk of

00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:50.629
rye syndrome Well, that isn't actually how I

00:04:50.629 --> 00:04:52.610
got it. My parents don't really know what happened.

00:04:52.629 --> 00:04:54.889
I actually had the flu and then had the croup

00:04:54.889 --> 00:04:57.370
and then it somehow developed into Rice syndrome.

00:04:57.670 --> 00:04:59.970
But one of the common ways you can get it is

00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:02.189
if you give Tylenol or aspirin to a kid, to a

00:05:02.189 --> 00:05:07.910
baby. So anyhow, that said, one of the side effects

00:05:07.910 --> 00:05:11.069
of an illness like that is brain damage. And,

00:05:11.089 --> 00:05:15.800
you know, to some degree, autism is. form of

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.000
brain damage. You've got inflammation, there's

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.560
things going on in your brain where your brain

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.920
doesn't function the same way as a so -called

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.740
neurotypical person. Sometimes I don't know that

00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:28.019
neurotypical, it's like, what the heck does that

00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:34.350
mean? What's really so -on -so normal? But anyhow,

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:37.110
so the doctors had warned my parents to watch

00:05:37.110 --> 00:05:40.589
out for, you know, some problems. And when I,

00:05:40.610 --> 00:05:43.110
my behavior was not normal and I was doing, you

00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:44.649
know, like a lot of what you'd probably call

00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:47.569
stimming nowadays, sensory issues, things like

00:05:47.569 --> 00:05:49.370
that. Then that's when my parents took me to

00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:51.310
see a psychologist. And so I ended up with a

00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:54.670
diagnosis that was a pretty early age for, you

00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:02.959
know, 1983. Well, in my opinion, I kind of, I

00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.579
kind of like to think of, honestly, I don't really

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:11.060
feel like autism is really that brain damage,

00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:14.459
part of brain damage, because I feel like I grasp

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:21.399
a lot of things and learn a lot of things. And

00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:27.420
I admit that maybe there's me, math, and science

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:32.500
do not go well together because Well, you know,

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:36.899
just all the equations and math and... Yeah,

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.540
I'm just not a big fan of math. I mean, I know

00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:44.319
math is in everything that we do, but I mean,

00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:47.019
I would never want to be an accountant, especially

00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:52.040
seeing my brother work like 90 plus hours a freaking

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:56.860
week. In some ways, I don't know if damage is

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:58.899
really the right word, but what I mean is it

00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:01.279
makes it so that your brain doesn't function

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.199
the same way as, shall we say, a so -called neurotypical

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.360
person that's not on the autism spectrum. Okay,

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:12.959
well, that's fair, but to be honest, I like to

00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.560
think highly of ourselves a little bit just because

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:24.620
I like to think of something as unique more than

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:27.699
just the general person out there without autism.

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.879
No, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah. And,

00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:33.180
and we are all very unique. It's like, so like

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:35.139
mine, like you mentioned the math thing, I'm

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.980
so terrible at math. It's amazing. I even made

00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:41.180
it through college because of, you know, some

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:42.699
of the math requirements and actually had to

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:44.560
change my major because I couldn't make it through

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.399
calculus. But yeah, my sister's son. can do math

00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.439
equations in his head, and he's on the autism

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.000
spectrum. So, you know, he basically has, like,

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:59.120
that savant ability with math, if you will. Well,

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:04.439
so, well, one thing about the thing about math,

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:07.800
you know, it's funny, I actually changed my major

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.779
because sort of the similar thing, it's because

00:08:11.779 --> 00:08:19.649
of math, because I was into like web design and

00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:24.870
game design and whatnot and i tried i tried that

00:08:24.870 --> 00:08:28.029
and i like web design a little bit even though

00:08:28.029 --> 00:08:31.569
i hate finding broken pieces of code because

00:08:31.569 --> 00:08:33.769
it's like finding waldo you know you know the

00:08:33.769 --> 00:08:36.990
guy with uh the red and white striped shirt yeah

00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:42.429
well i mean literally it's his fault for getting

00:08:42.429 --> 00:08:46.029
lost in those crowds anyway but uh the one thing

00:08:46.029 --> 00:08:51.320
i i did not liked about game design was that

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.740
I had this one teacher in college who just said

00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:59.340
to me, you're not allowed to use a calculator

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:05.580
on solving these problems in game design. I'm

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:10.500
like, why? I was like, well, you have to do it

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:14.019
in your head or write it on a piece of paper.

00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:18.279
Well, I never heard of one developer that I've

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.240
met so far who does that. It's like they just

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.379
save time and do it on a calculator on the computer.

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.840
I've never seen them. Oh, I have to do this.

00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.799
Some equation in my head. And it's like, no,

00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:31.500
you have to do that. Yeah, it doesn't make a

00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:33.379
whole lot of sense. Because in real life, you

00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:35.580
always have a calculator and a computer to do

00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:41.080
it for you. And I didn't argue with her, but

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.110
I'm just thinking in my head. And how are you

00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:44.950
going to stop me? And I was like, I'm using my

00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:47.389
own computer in your classroom. And I was like,

00:09:47.450 --> 00:09:49.570
unless you can hack my computer, which is illegal.

00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:56.990
But again, just to clarify, I did not argue with

00:09:56.990 --> 00:09:59.669
the teacher. I just argued with her in my head.

00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:03.330
So I said nothing like that. I'm just clarifying

00:10:03.330 --> 00:10:05.250
because this is a live stream and people might

00:10:05.250 --> 00:10:09.070
take everything out of context that I say. Yeah,

00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:12.470
that always happens, you know. People will probably

00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:14.629
take out of context on what I say, too. It is

00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:20.029
what it is. Well, so what does healthy living

00:10:20.029 --> 00:10:23.970
with autism look like for you? So it's evolved

00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:27.070
over the years. You know, when I was little and

00:10:27.070 --> 00:10:29.669
when I first got my diagnosis, my parents were

00:10:29.669 --> 00:10:31.850
really into a lot of things like a lot of herbal

00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:34.649
teas and like homework. Forget everything that

00:10:34.649 --> 00:10:37.169
you know about a web browser because you will

00:10:37.169 --> 00:10:44.490
be blown away by psychic. It's no ordinary web

00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:48.690
browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft

00:10:48.690 --> 00:10:51.789
Edge, and all the other web browsers out there.

00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:57.549
It's based on productivity. And let me just name

00:10:57.549 --> 00:11:00.549
a few other functionalities that it has. It's

00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:06.929
very fast. It blocks ads by default. You don't

00:11:06.929 --> 00:11:10.580
see that with Google Chrome, do you? Nope. And

00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:15.659
there's also a built -in sidebar so you can have

00:11:46.490 --> 00:11:49.909
check out psychic and tell them i sent you remedies

00:11:49.909 --> 00:11:52.590
and they didn't really it's not that they didn't

00:11:52.590 --> 00:11:54.990
believe in drugs like we did do antibiotics so

00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:56.669
we were really really sick and things like that

00:11:56.669 --> 00:11:59.429
and you know we'd go to the doctor when it was

00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:01.669
really absolutely necessary but my mom really

00:12:01.669 --> 00:12:03.850
believed in trying to use more at -home natural

00:12:03.850 --> 00:12:05.690
holistic remedies and things like that instead

00:12:05.690 --> 00:12:10.360
and Back then, it was right at the very beginning

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.980
where some doctors were starting to advocate

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:17.620
for putting kids that were on the autism spectrum

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:21.279
or even kids that had digestive challenges or

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.620
other things on things like the gluten -free,

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:27.879
casein -free diet that's become much more popular.

00:12:28.409 --> 00:12:31.129
with kids on the autism spectrum or you know

00:12:31.129 --> 00:12:33.809
like there's things like a candida diet to help

00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:35.830
like if you have too much yeast infections different

00:12:35.830 --> 00:12:38.549
things like that so when i was little i was on

00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:40.730
that diet for quite some time but then as i got

00:12:40.730 --> 00:12:46.029
older i got off of it and i moved more towards

00:12:46.029 --> 00:12:50.529
just trying to eat as much whole unrefined unprocessed

00:12:50.529 --> 00:12:55.870
food as possible trying to you know live as healthy

00:12:55.870 --> 00:12:58.490
a life as possible in other words and what i

00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:02.570
mean by that is try to not eat food that comes

00:13:02.570 --> 00:13:05.129
primarily from a package or a box in other words

00:13:05.129 --> 00:13:07.710
it's like actually food it's food where like

00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:09.429
if we were to show it to our great great grandparents

00:13:09.429 --> 00:13:13.330
they would actually recognize it as food sounds

00:13:13.330 --> 00:13:19.490
interesting uh well for me growing up i i'm not

00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:22.690
What I'm going to say might sound like I'm bashing

00:13:22.690 --> 00:13:27.029
my parents in a bad way, but I'm not. But it's

00:13:27.029 --> 00:13:29.370
going to come out wrong, and I know it's going

00:13:29.370 --> 00:13:34.629
to come out wrong. But we were quite the opposite

00:13:34.629 --> 00:13:42.889
back then. We ate out a lot. We had a lot of

00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:49.850
mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly. I think

00:13:49.850 --> 00:13:54.690
it was just because... I don't know, we didn't...

00:13:54.690 --> 00:13:57.950
To be honest, I don't know why we ate that way.

00:13:58.029 --> 00:14:00.590
I think it was just because that's what my parents

00:14:00.590 --> 00:14:03.830
gave us and that's what we ate. That was fine.

00:14:04.809 --> 00:14:08.269
But what caused me to gain weight was a mix of

00:14:08.269 --> 00:14:11.750
bad food. I mean, like, my bad food made me,

00:14:11.789 --> 00:14:14.830
like, junk food and whatnot. But then I was also

00:14:14.830 --> 00:14:21.330
on this... medication uh years ago where uh where

00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:26.549
it was helping me with my moods that like fluctuate

00:14:26.549 --> 00:14:30.110
throughout the day and it kind of just messed

00:14:30.110 --> 00:14:33.649
everything like have you ever seen the the movie

00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:37.149
that uh joker the recent joker movie actually

00:14:37.149 --> 00:14:42.090
well it's kind of it's well uh I'm not going

00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:44.429
to spoil anything, but it's really depressing.

00:14:44.889 --> 00:14:52.470
But the Joker, he makes a pretend happy face,

00:14:52.529 --> 00:14:58.830
like he's all fine, but he's not. But my point

00:14:58.830 --> 00:15:01.990
is, this medicine made me feel like I was just

00:15:01.990 --> 00:15:04.450
masking everything. It's like, oh, I'm just happy

00:15:04.450 --> 00:15:07.309
and everything. And it's like, this feels so

00:15:07.309 --> 00:15:10.549
fake and forced. and i didn't like the feeling

00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:14.870
but it had a side effect and one of them was

00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:18.769
weight gain and i wasn't a big pro a person who

00:15:18.769 --> 00:15:23.250
worked out back then this was like oh when i

00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:25.990
was stressed because of bullying everyone not

00:15:25.990 --> 00:15:28.769
i came home and started eating my favorite junk

00:15:28.769 --> 00:15:34.750
food You know, and there's a lot of reasons that

00:15:34.750 --> 00:15:36.649
sometimes parents give their kids food that's

00:15:36.649 --> 00:15:38.129
less than healthy. Sometimes they just don't

00:15:38.129 --> 00:15:39.750
know better. Sometimes that's just the way that

00:15:39.750 --> 00:15:42.669
they were raised. Or, you know, sometimes they're

00:15:42.669 --> 00:15:44.909
really, really busy because the reality is that

00:15:44.909 --> 00:15:47.429
sometimes, at least I find that a lot of parents

00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:50.690
and people think that it's easier to serve junk

00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:53.470
food if you're busy, you don't have a lot of

00:15:53.470 --> 00:15:55.899
time to cook. that kind of thing so one of the

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:58.039
things i try to do is you know either through

00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.820
recipes on my blog through an ebook that i've

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:02.580
written for some of the recipes that are actually

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:05.200
in the book that i published and you know just

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.399
sharing on social media and other things i try

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.139
to help parents realize that there are ways that

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:13.000
you can actually create meals that actually taste

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.360
good that aren't junk and that actually don't

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.870
take that long to cook so you know yeah I definitely

00:16:20.870 --> 00:16:23.769
got to check out that book of yours because I

00:16:23.769 --> 00:16:28.669
saw you gave me a sneak peek at the first chapter.

00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:31.250
I didn't get to it, to be honest, yet. I'm going

00:16:31.250 --> 00:16:34.769
to. I've been busy catching up a boatload of

00:16:34.769 --> 00:16:39.610
emails in the last four days of this week so

00:16:39.610 --> 00:16:43.070
far because I came back from my two and a half

00:16:43.070 --> 00:16:46.950
week break. And then I'm like, oh, emails. I

00:16:46.950 --> 00:16:51.009
love them so much. You should have said that.

00:16:51.070 --> 00:16:53.450
You should have saw them. Some of them were like,

00:16:53.570 --> 00:16:58.669
click here for $500. Oh, man. That's so easy.

00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:03.090
That was really not easy. Man, just send it to

00:17:03.090 --> 00:17:07.690
me now. I don't have to click on anything. Oh,

00:17:07.869 --> 00:17:12.029
man. I'm not that gullible. Sorry. I know every

00:17:12.029 --> 00:17:22.769
skim in the book. Do you do any exercises at

00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:27.910
home? Yeah, I do, actually. So I do recently

00:17:27.910 --> 00:17:30.309
what I started doing, and I found that this was

00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:32.410
a pretty good hack. And I know some parents may

00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:34.950
not want to have one of these in their house

00:17:34.950 --> 00:17:38.269
for other reasons, but I actually bought a Nintendo

00:17:38.269 --> 00:17:42.890
Switch, and I actually bought the Dance. game

00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:46.170
slash program and then subscribe to dance unlimited

00:17:46.170 --> 00:17:48.609
and it's actually really fun because you could

00:17:48.609 --> 00:17:51.470
dance around different images and music and they

00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:53.390
even have you know like nursery rhymes on there

00:17:53.390 --> 00:17:56.549
for kids or you know like of course like a lot

00:17:56.549 --> 00:17:58.950
of the music from different popular musicals

00:17:58.950 --> 00:18:01.589
and disney songs and you know the top hits from

00:18:01.589 --> 00:18:04.029
the radio all that kind of stuff you can dance

00:18:04.029 --> 00:18:05.730
around and i've actually found it to be a pretty

00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:09.009
fun way to exercise and dance at home that's

00:18:09.009 --> 00:18:15.569
cool uh You know, it kind of sounds kind of like

00:18:15.569 --> 00:18:21.809
the Nintendo Wii, but better. In a lot of ways,

00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:24.369
I think so. I never actually had a Wii because

00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:26.390
I wasn't really... In fact, I'm not saying I've

00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:28.450
really been into gaming that much. And, you know,

00:18:28.490 --> 00:18:30.230
of course, now I have a Nintendo Switch. Like,

00:18:30.250 --> 00:18:33.390
I got a Super Mario Brothers Nintendo game, Switch

00:18:33.390 --> 00:18:35.970
game for Christmas. And, you know, I have a few

00:18:35.970 --> 00:18:38.569
of, like, your classic, like, games. I don't

00:18:38.569 --> 00:18:42.200
have just the dance game. But I found that it's

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.180
a pretty good hack if you're struggling to really

00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:46.640
get exercising and moving. Having that in the

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.819
Switch game can actually really do the trick

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:54.180
because it's pretty fun. Well, that sounds like

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:57.740
a good hack. I don't have the Switch. I used

00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:01.359
to have the PS4, but I'm just going to say it,

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:03.259
and I'm not going to say who the company is at

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:09.759
the moment. My moving company that was helping

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:18.339
me move houses, two people stole my PS4. Yeah,

00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:22.559
I'm not going to say any company at the moment.

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:27.759
Wait until I get my stuff back. Yeah, for sure.

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:29.519
So that's one hack. And then, of course, the

00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.720
other hack, if it fits for you, is that I have

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.880
a dog and she's actually in her kennel over there

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.059
next to me right now. And she loves, loves, loves

00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:41.019
her W -A -L -K. I can't even say it or she'll

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:44.700
literally go berserk. If you want to get yourself

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:48.460
moving and outside enjoying some nature, get

00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:52.200
a dog. That'll do the trick too. Yeah, I got

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.960
two of them. I adopted two of them, and their

00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:02.700
names are Scarlett and Johnny, and they love

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:07.299
that word, W -A -L -K. Yeah, my dog's name is

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:10.420
Daisy. She's a little black schnoodle, so she's

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:12.519
a miniature schnauzer and miniature poodle mix.

00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:16.900
Well, I got two golden retrievers. Oh, okay.

00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:23.049
Well, it's funny. Just a little off -topic dog

00:20:23.049 --> 00:20:32.750
story for you. My dog Johnny and Scarlett, they

00:20:32.750 --> 00:20:35.029
both like to bring toys out when they have to

00:20:35.029 --> 00:20:39.529
go to the bathroom in the backyard. And it's

00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:41.569
funny, he leaves them out there and he's like,

00:20:41.630 --> 00:20:47.279
you think you would bring him back? you like

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.700
the toy and whatnot. And I was like, and plus

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.160
I had my slippers on, so I didn't want to really,

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.519
and there are slippers that go outside and inside

00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.039
and you can wear them all over the place, but

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.220
I'd rather keep them in good shape and just wear

00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:08.039
them inside. So my point is, is like, I didn't

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.039
want to go outside, outside all the way to the

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.799
dirt where the toy was, where they just left

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.539
it. And I was like, hmm, I have two golden retriever

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:21.400
puppies. I should not. I was like, wait, why

00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.720
should I have to go fetch these things? And so

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.519
I was like, hey, Johnny, go get the toy outside.

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:29.079
He looked at me and was like, you want me to

00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:31.220
go get the toy? I was like, yeah, go get the

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:34.720
toy. He runs outside, goes get the toy, brings

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.759
one back, and is like. Now go get the other one.

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.000
I'm like, I feel like I'm trying to train a little

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.059
kid. And he's, like, looking at me. He's like,

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:45.059
okay, go get the toy. And so, of course, I rewarded

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:47.359
him with a treat. But I was like, this is fun.

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.500
I was like, huh, I didn't have to go outside.

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.299
I was like, this was a smart idea on my part.

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.400
Yeah, that could work pretty good, especially

00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.279
with golden retrievers. I actually had two golden

00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:01.000
retriever sisters as dogs, like, a while ago.

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.400
They died about, second one died about six years

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.240
ago. But I have them. for quite some time the

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.200
one died young at about 10 she actually had liver

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.140
failure and that was really really sad to deal

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.319
with and the other one died at about 12. geez

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:21.740
well my uh i had a i had two other golden retriever

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:25.980
well uh three others but i mean i the other two

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:31.140
were named molly and casey she they one had a

00:22:31.140 --> 00:22:36.480
throat cancer and She died of that. And then

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.859
the other one is named Molly. I think they were

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:45.119
both like around 14 years old. That's pretty

00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.519
old for a golden retriever, actually. A lot of

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:50.700
them don't make it past about 12 or so. Yeah.

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.680
The other one I had, her name was Carrie, but

00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.900
she was like way before me. I mean, she was around

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:06.630
before. like when I was a baby. So she was watching

00:23:06.630 --> 00:23:09.869
me grow up. And then when we moved to Pennsylvania,

00:23:10.230 --> 00:23:13.069
we had, we had to say goodbye to her because

00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:17.789
she was just done. But, uh, like a few years

00:23:17.789 --> 00:23:20.289
later after we moved to Pennsylvania, but she,

00:23:20.390 --> 00:23:23.730
uh, man, that was his old age, but she was like,

00:23:23.789 --> 00:23:26.950
she was 16 years old and say, geez, you lasted

00:23:26.950 --> 00:23:30.059
that long. Holy moly. Yeah, I had a friend that

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:32.140
had a Golden Retriever that lived to, like, 17

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:34.519
or 18, I think. But that's, like, really unusual.

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:40.000
Yeah, I'm like, geez. I mean, I love my dogs,

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:42.599
and don't get me wrong. I'm just, like, surprised

00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.140
that they love me that much. I just want to stay

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:51.160
around. Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. And I'm going

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.660
to actually have to go grab my charger to my

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:56.799
computer. Sorry, my computer's older, and the

00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.930
battery's going to die. Gotta love technology.

00:24:03.569 --> 00:24:12.230
Gotta hate it and love it at the same time. Speaking

00:24:12.230 --> 00:24:20.569
of which, I think coming up on as a sneak preview

00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:23.910
while we wait for our guests to come back, next

00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:27.799
week you gotta tune in to the next because I

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:31.460
got another great guest coming on. His name is

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:34.960
Chet, who's going to be, well, I'm not going

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.140
to spoil the whole thing, but yeah, he's going

00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:46.119
to be on, and he's another speaker, and he does

00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:51.119
a lot of great stuff. And yeah, we met on LinkedIn.

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.139
I was on his show, I think, last year. Yeah,

00:24:56.139 --> 00:25:01.640
anyway, you'll see more about that on Sunday

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.119
when I schedule it out. Okay, I'm going to spoil

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:13.740
that. Man, I need, like, Jaws music. Hopefully

00:25:13.740 --> 00:25:20.640
I don't get fined for just saying that. I didn't

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:27.419
steal anything. No, I think you'll be fine. They

00:25:27.419 --> 00:25:30.799
can sue me for that. That's just my voice. Yeah,

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.019
there you go. That's a scary movie right there,

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:38.339
the Jaws movie. Yeah, I saw that during the summer

00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:41.140
this year for the first time, and I was like,

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:46.200
okay, that is... It was really scary at some

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:51.299
times, but then I remind myself that the... that

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:54.480
the shark was really fake and everything. I was

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:58.940
like, it looks so fake. It's probably true. I

00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:02.279
mean, I saw it, I don't know, a while back. But

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.599
I remember my dad saying, and I don't know if

00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.240
I really even remember this, but when I was about

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.160
three, they aired a preview for the jazz movie

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.859
in the movie theater as part of a Disney movie.

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.279
It was, I think, like Pinocchio or one of those

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.079
Disney movies that they were playing at the theater.

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:22.390
And I completely lost it. i got so afraid and

00:26:22.390 --> 00:26:25.009
screamed and everything that my dad literally

00:26:25.009 --> 00:26:26.609
had to take me out of the theater and i don't

00:26:26.609 --> 00:26:28.190
know if we were even able to finish the movie

00:26:28.190 --> 00:26:37.869
geez well yeah at 28 years old just uh watching

00:26:37.869 --> 00:26:41.490
it i'm like oh my gosh it's like what the heck

00:26:41.490 --> 00:26:50.859
did i just watch yeah i know and so uh Do you

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:56.460
have any tips and tricks for people who want

00:26:56.460 --> 00:27:00.519
to get started with exercising or living healthy?

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.279
Yeah, I do for sure. So the biggest tip I have,

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:07.079
if you will, I mean, I guess it's a trick too,

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.799
but a tip and a trick is that to take it slowly.

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.960
So, you know, you have to evaluate where you're

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.319
at to begin with. So if where you're at is that

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.799
you mostly eat fast food, chicken nuggets. you

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.380
know, back rolling in cheese, you know, you don't

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:26.220
really eat a whole lot of fruits or green vegetables

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:29.039
or whole foods, things like that, then you can't

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.319
all of a sudden expect yourself and your child

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.940
or your children to just do a 180 and go from

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:38.099
total junk to total health all in one scoop.

00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:40.900
It just doesn't work that way. Same thing with

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:43.480
exercise. You can't expect yourself to be doing

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.480
nothing and all of a sudden do an hour seven

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.750
days a week at once. Man, are you sure? I thought

00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:54.109
I could. Yeah, I think you might crash and burn

00:27:54.109 --> 00:27:57.470
and probably fail if you try that. So, you know,

00:27:57.470 --> 00:27:59.890
that would probably be one of the biggest tips

00:27:59.890 --> 00:28:02.170
is to give yourself some grace and some credit

00:28:02.170 --> 00:28:04.250
for the effort that you're putting forth and,

00:28:04.309 --> 00:28:06.970
you know, take things slowly. And then the other

00:28:06.970 --> 00:28:09.970
tip I would have too would be, and this especially

00:28:09.970 --> 00:28:13.170
applies to kids, is to try and see, you know,

00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:15.779
what kinds of healthy foods does your... child

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:18.960
like to eat you know and don't try to force them

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:20.539
to eat a bunch of stuff they don't want to eat

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:23.940
because that's just not going to work and i talked

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:25.720
to a lady a while back it's been a few years

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:27.319
and i probably have to check and see if it still

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:29.200
exists but she created this thing called the

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.559
eating game that basically is a tool that parents

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.160
can use where it has pictures of all different

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.819
foods that are out there. And the child can pick

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:40.660
and choose like the foods that they want to eat,

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:43.099
the foods they don't want to eat by mixing and

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:45.119
matching the pictures and things like that. And

00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.980
there's probably apps like that on like the iPad

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:52.000
and things like that these days too. So yeah,

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:55.859
it's kind of a tool. Yeah. I just Googled it

00:28:55.859 --> 00:28:58.759
and there is a website called the eating game.

00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.799
Yeah. So that's probably it. It's probably from

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:04.740
the lady that I talked to a while back. about

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:07.559
it it's been a while but yeah so there's no i

00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.859
don't think i don't i don't know if it's still

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:12.380
me tim because when i go to the about us page

00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:16.980
it's just a 404 error oh well maybe not but anyhow

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:19.359
there's tools out there maybe even you know like

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.460
i said apple and ipad different things like that

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:23.619
that you can use to help your child especially

00:29:23.619 --> 00:29:25.460
if your child needs to see more visual pictures

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:27.960
because sometimes depending on the child some

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.640
children on the spectrum really need to see more

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.569
pictures And let them pick and choose. In other

00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:34.109
words, instead of as a parent just saying, oh,

00:29:34.130 --> 00:29:35.769
we're having broccoli tonight no matter what.

00:29:35.809 --> 00:29:38.190
I don't care if you don't like broccoli. Oh,

00:29:39.069 --> 00:29:44.910
you don't like broccoli? Well, depending on if

00:29:44.910 --> 00:29:48.809
there's a sauce on it. But if you ask me to eat

00:29:48.809 --> 00:29:52.329
steamed broccoli, I'll throw it against the wall

00:29:52.329 --> 00:30:00.130
and I'm walking out. But when I was a kid, I

00:30:00.130 --> 00:30:01.950
know I couldn't stand Brussels sprouts. That

00:30:01.950 --> 00:30:05.950
was something I really hated. And now I actually

00:30:05.950 --> 00:30:07.849
like them if they're cooked the right way. You

00:30:07.849 --> 00:30:10.630
can roast them or like air fry them and put like...

00:30:10.890 --> 00:30:13.250
oil and like spices and different things with

00:30:13.250 --> 00:30:15.430
them and they actually taste pretty good but

00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:17.369
i just remember as a kid i really hated them

00:30:17.369 --> 00:30:19.829
so you know instead of just forcing your kid

00:30:19.829 --> 00:30:21.869
this is just an example to eat one of those you

00:30:21.869 --> 00:30:24.809
know get pictures or show your child you know

00:30:24.809 --> 00:30:26.410
all the different green vegetables and let them

00:30:26.410 --> 00:30:30.470
pick one you know well that sounds that sounds

00:30:30.470 --> 00:30:33.789
like a really good idea and i wish uh that was

00:30:33.789 --> 00:30:35.470
something i would tell my parents that years

00:30:35.470 --> 00:30:40.460
ago because i remember uh True story. I don't

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:44.779
make stuff up. Okay, maybe sometimes, but not

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:51.119
this time. Are you stuck and you don't know what

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.140

oh, gee, I think this would take hours to cook,

00:32:49.710 --> 00:32:51.890

00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:54.049

Guy, There's three plans starting at $2 .99 a

00:34:28.570 --> 00:34:33.690
month going up to $30 a year. So that's $2 .99.

00:34:33.869 --> 00:34:37.329
The next plan that is up is $3 .99 and then $30

00:34:37.329 --> 00:34:40.989
a year. So thank you for all your support for

00:34:40.989 --> 00:34:46.889
the years. And I'm looking forward to continue

00:34:46.889 --> 00:34:50.590
making content just for you. Thank you. To become

00:34:53.429 --> 00:34:57.099
in the show notes. and see which plan is right

00:34:57.099 --> 00:35:01.599
for you. It was, when me and my brother were

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.739
growing up, my parents forced us to eat broccoli

00:35:05.739 --> 00:35:12.139
with our meals. And I was like, do we really

00:35:12.139 --> 00:35:13.980
have to eat this? And it was like, you're not

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:15.840
leaving a table until you eat your broccoli.

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:20.199
I'm like, this sounds like a punishment. No.

00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:27.159
But then fast forward. So, you know, like in

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.360
the Chinese restaurant, there's a beef and broccoli.

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:36.500
I can eat broccoli that way. And I can eat broccoli,

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:42.480
but it has to have some sauce on it. It can't

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:47.739
just have just steamed or some olive oil. And

00:35:47.739 --> 00:35:53.179
it has to be like less. It can't be super crunchy

00:35:53.179 --> 00:35:57.440
because it was super crunchy. I'm like, no. Yeah.

00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.039
Like I don't like raw broccoli at all. I can't

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:03.940
do it. It has to be completely cooked and stuff.

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.800
So yeah, it's, you know, there's just tools out

00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.619
there at your disposal and yeah, it may take

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:11.340
some learning. So getting used to, but I promise

00:36:11.340 --> 00:36:13.980
step -by -step baby steps, if you will, you can

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:20.199
do it. Well, like I said, you know, I didn't

00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.119
eat broccoli overnight. Once I started to figure

00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.900
out, okay, so how can I eat broccoli? I had to

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:31.599
try different sauces or recipes, and then I could

00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:34.079
eat it. I can't just eat it on the side dish.

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:39.579
Though spinach, I've been getting better at eating

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:44.719
it either sauteed in garlic and olive oil or

00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:56.260
just... Oh, man, I'm losing my thought. Or steamed

00:36:56.260 --> 00:37:02.360
spinach, so then I can have that. I'm getting

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.420
better, but still a work in progress. Yeah, for

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:11.179
sure. Always is. Nutrition plays a big part,

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:15.539
because I've seen people who try to eat, it's

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:17.300
like, oh, well, I should be able to eat whatever

00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:23.210
I want. As long as I'm working out. Let me know

00:37:23.210 --> 00:37:26.630
how that works out for you, because I tried that.

00:37:26.989 --> 00:37:31.969
Didn't work. My dad's friend used to be a he's

00:37:31.969 --> 00:37:34.989
a retired personal trainer. And this was like

00:37:34.989 --> 00:37:39.969
years ago. And before I got into P90X, I asked

00:37:39.969 --> 00:37:43.230
him like, well, I mean, during my P90X, I asked

00:37:43.230 --> 00:37:47.599
him like, hey. what can I do to help me lose

00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.599
my belly and my belly fat? And he looked at me

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.519
and was like, oh, you should eat a lot of fish,

00:37:53.699 --> 00:38:00.300
chicken, lean beef, and whatnot. And it worked.

00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:06.400
And he gave me those tips and tricks. But I still

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.940
see people today, it's like, oh, I can eat whatever

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:11.559
I want as long as I'm working out. And I was

00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:15.429
like, well, maybe. If you're at a certain point,

00:38:15.489 --> 00:38:19.090
you might be able to get away with one or two

00:38:19.090 --> 00:38:25.610
cheap meals if you must. But if you're starting

00:38:25.610 --> 00:38:30.849
off at, let's say, just 200 pounds and you're

00:38:30.849 --> 00:38:34.889
trying that, it's not going to work. Yeah, exactly.

00:38:34.969 --> 00:38:37.429
Well, and the thing is, what you eat really impacts

00:38:37.429 --> 00:38:40.519
things. Your immune system, you know, if you

00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:42.219
don't eat fruits and vegetables on a regular

00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:44.659
basis, you can have a weakened immune system.

00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.460
And, well, if you paid any attention to the news

00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:49.539
in the last two years, you probably know why

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:53.659
you want a strong immune system. Yeah, like my

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:58.099
immune system is shot. Fruits and vegetables.

00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.800
Sometimes I don't always get my fruits and vegetables

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:05.019
every single day, but I still try to get them,

00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:09.880
at least half of them. Sometimes it's easier

00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.039
than sometimes, depending on what's in the house,

00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.460
depending on when my parents go to the grocery

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:18.440
store or I go to the grocery store. I help out

00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:22.099
here and there when I can or if they let me.

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:29.440
I mean, sometimes I just say no. Yeah. Hey, at

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.159
least I offer. Yeah, and I mean, I found personally

00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.840
what I eat affects my digestive system, it affects

00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:38.300
my energy level, affects how well I sleep at

00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:41.199
night, all kinds of things. So, you know, I mean,

00:39:41.219 --> 00:39:43.619
there's probably a rare unicorn of a person out

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:45.159
there occasionally that can eat whatever they

00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:47.539
want, and well, they don't really notice much

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:49.300
of a difference, but I think most people are

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:51.619
going to notice a difference based on what you

00:39:51.619 --> 00:39:54.559
eat. And you know what they say, even if you

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.679
start out that way, where you can eat anything

00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:59.670
you want and not gain an ounce, Eventually catch

00:39:59.670 --> 00:40:03.090
up to you. Yep, you are what you eat, is what

00:40:03.090 --> 00:40:09.170
they say. Literally. I don't know. Do you ever

00:40:09.170 --> 00:40:13.650
feel like when you eat a lot of sodium or high

00:40:13.650 --> 00:40:17.429
-sodium foods that you feel like you have a headache

00:40:17.429 --> 00:40:20.949
coming on? Yes, it can be, especially if you

00:40:20.949 --> 00:40:24.989
don't drink enough water either, too. Water here?

00:40:25.269 --> 00:40:30.219
I gotta drink some. Water here. I got plenty

00:40:30.219 --> 00:40:34.460
of water. I always have my water bottles next

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:38.300
to me. Me too. When I don't, I don't drink enough.

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:46.539
Yeah. And plus, here's another tip. Here's a

00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:52.929
tip for you guys if you want to. be more healthy

00:40:52.929 --> 00:40:55.829
on the spectrum or off the spectrum. It can work

00:40:55.829 --> 00:41:00.949
for both. If you ever feel like you're not getting

00:41:00.949 --> 00:41:04.050
enough water, here's a water hack that I've learned

00:41:04.050 --> 00:41:07.449
and it has worked. Sometimes it gets annoying,

00:41:07.650 --> 00:41:09.829
especially when you're trying to do something,

00:41:09.969 --> 00:41:11.949
if you're playing a game, because then it's just

00:41:11.949 --> 00:41:15.610
on your computer. And let me tell you the hack

00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:20.360
first. It makes sense. So there's this application

00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:23.840
called, that's on my phone. It's called Drink

00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:29.260
Water Reminder. Very specific. And it just tells

00:41:29.260 --> 00:41:34.719
you, you can set a reminder, like you can do

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.420
like every 10 minutes or every 30 minutes or

00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:40.820
an hour, whatever time you set it at to remind

00:41:40.820 --> 00:41:45.159
you. And they'll ask you at that hour or whatever

00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.860
time you started at, have you drank any water

00:41:47.860 --> 00:41:52.300
yet? And I'm like, now that you mention it, no,

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.659
I have not. And so it just gives you a reminder

00:41:55.659 --> 00:41:58.099
and it lets you track how much water you drink

00:41:58.099 --> 00:42:03.539
throughout the day. And it's a very helpful thing.

00:42:03.699 --> 00:42:06.519
And so what I did, because I like it so much,

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:10.110
I have it on my phone. And you can get it on

00:42:10.110 --> 00:42:12.849
your computer. I mean, you can probably get another

00:42:12.849 --> 00:42:16.670
app on your computer that does the same thing.

00:42:16.829 --> 00:42:20.610
But one thing I found, I found another hack so

00:42:20.610 --> 00:42:25.329
you don't have to install it. I mean, you don't

00:42:25.329 --> 00:42:28.170
have to install another drink water reminder

00:42:28.170 --> 00:42:31.030
app. I found out that there's this tool called

00:42:31.030 --> 00:42:34.130
Pushbullet that lets you mirror notifications

00:42:34.130 --> 00:42:38.139
from your phone. And I installed it on all three

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:41.480
of my devices. And it will remind me to drink

00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:44.599
water on all my devices that I have. And I was

00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.960
like, I love this thing. And so it just mirrors

00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.539
the notification on my computer. So like, did

00:42:50.539 --> 00:42:52.659
you drink any reminder? And he's like, now that

00:42:52.659 --> 00:42:56.760
you popped up, yes, I did. Now go away. That's

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.659
a really good option. Yeah, I'll have to check

00:42:59.659 --> 00:43:01.940
that app out. I have, there's others out there

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:04.000
too. So I have an app that connects with a scale.

00:43:04.099 --> 00:43:06.139
So I bought like one of those smart scales that

00:43:06.139 --> 00:43:09.099
has like an app that also has like water reminder

00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:12.280
things that pop up in it and stuff. And the other

00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:14.019
tip I'd have too, where people like, sometimes

00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:15.519
people don't drink enough water because they

00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:18.000
say they don't like the taste of water. You can

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:19.940
make like fruit water and you don't really have

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:22.519
to eat the fruit. You can just like. put a couple

00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:24.400
pieces of strawberry in the water and then start

00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:26.320
drinking the water that has the strawberry flavor

00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:30.280
or put lemon in the water or orange or whatever

00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:33.119
flavor you like, fruit, and then just drink the

00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:35.679
fruit water. You still want to have some water

00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.900
without the fruit, but sometimes that can help

00:43:37.900 --> 00:43:43.280
too. Well, I actually found one of my friends

00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:49.039
on Facebook. She was also, I think, on my podcast.

00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:52.860
I forget and forget because I have so many people

00:43:52.860 --> 00:43:56.699
on the podcast. And so I do have a list of who's

00:43:56.699 --> 00:43:59.219
been on. I just, it's not in front of me at the

00:43:59.219 --> 00:44:05.340
moment. So, so one of the, she, she, she shared

00:44:05.340 --> 00:44:07.179
with me on Facebook that there's these things

00:44:07.179 --> 00:44:12.469
called. infused water teas. And it's this little

00:44:12.469 --> 00:44:16.250
tea bag from Twinings, or however you pronounce

00:44:16.250 --> 00:44:19.530
their company's name. No offense, company. I

00:44:19.530 --> 00:44:23.130
love their company. And it's called infused water.

00:44:23.489 --> 00:44:25.750
And so you just drop one of these tea bags in

00:44:25.750 --> 00:44:29.230
it, and it flavors your water. And so I use,

00:44:29.409 --> 00:44:32.710
my favorite ones are strawberry and lemon. And

00:44:32.710 --> 00:44:39.789
I think it was peach and passion fruit. And I'm

00:44:39.789 --> 00:44:41.690
not really a big fan of the mint and watermelon

00:44:41.690 --> 00:44:48.389
because I like mint as gum flavor, but for drinking

00:44:48.389 --> 00:44:52.730
water, not so much. It's just really strong to

00:44:52.730 --> 00:44:57.389
me. This feels like medicine. But that's just

00:44:57.389 --> 00:45:00.130
my taste buds. If you like watermelon and mint,

00:45:00.210 --> 00:45:03.530
go right ahead. I'm not against it. I'm just

00:45:03.530 --> 00:45:07.269
saying it wasn't for me. yeah for sure well you

00:45:07.269 --> 00:45:08.909
know and then there's like of course like flavored

00:45:08.909 --> 00:45:11.070
stevia drops that do kind of that same thing

00:45:11.070 --> 00:45:13.309
that are flavored with like different flavors

00:45:13.309 --> 00:45:16.289
well i mean like the best part about the twining's

00:45:16.289 --> 00:45:20.989
tea uh bags is that it doesn't it doesn't have

00:45:20.989 --> 00:45:25.429
any dyes in it it doesn't have any uh like artificial

00:45:25.429 --> 00:45:30.329
flavors yeah yeah nothing and it doesn't stain

00:45:30.329 --> 00:45:33.409
anything because like because i had my teeth

00:45:33.409 --> 00:45:36.880
whitened like five like six or seven years ago.

00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.019
Right now, I'm in between dentists and everything

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:47.039
because of insurance and whatnot. Plus, I'm at

00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:48.860
my shore house at the moment, so I'm not even

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:52.480
close to a dentist in Pennsylvania at the moment

00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:56.099
because I don't want to trust another doctor

00:45:56.099 --> 00:46:03.340
down here. But one of the things that they said

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:05.860
to me when I got... Make sure you don't have

00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:10.639
certain foods because it might sting your teeth,

00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:15.119
like beets. Or if you have one of those, make

00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:17.860
sure you brush your teeth right away. So I try

00:46:17.860 --> 00:46:21.300
to stay away from chocolate. But if it's like

00:46:21.300 --> 00:46:24.199
the cocoa powder chocolate, I can have it because

00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:29.239
it's like my protein powder is cocoa powder and

00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:33.300
the chocolate cocoa powder. But that doesn't

00:46:33.300 --> 00:46:35.920
stay my team. I am what you call an indie podcaster.

00:46:36.179 --> 00:46:39.420

00:48:50.619 --> 00:48:54.980
and see which plan is right for you teeth but

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:58.159
i mean like if it's a syrupy kind of chocolate

00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:01.800
it can stain your teeth and like i'm not i'm

00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:06.570
not screwing 500 worth of teeth work yeah For

00:49:06.570 --> 00:49:08.730
sure, yeah, I can totally see that. Yeah, well,

00:49:08.849 --> 00:49:10.989
and then you have to be careful of, I mean, obviously,

00:49:11.289 --> 00:49:13.130
you know, beads are really good for you and stuff,

00:49:13.210 --> 00:49:15.030
but, like, a lot of things that have, like, those

00:49:15.030 --> 00:49:17.909
dyes are terrible for your health, too, so, you

00:49:17.909 --> 00:49:20.090
know. Exactly. You could have a whole conversation

00:49:20.090 --> 00:49:23.010
on a separate podcast about dyes, but, you know.

00:49:24.429 --> 00:49:27.489
Yeah, we definitely gotta get you back on the

00:49:27.489 --> 00:49:34.360
show, and we can do a whole hour of dyes. i don't

00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:36.420
know about if i'm really an expert on that necessarily

00:49:36.420 --> 00:49:42.079
but we can learn together yeah i just know they're

00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.059
bad for you put it that way well one of the things

00:49:45.059 --> 00:49:48.900
uh but yeah i i just personally stay away from

00:49:48.900 --> 00:49:51.420
some of those stuff even though i i can brush

00:49:51.420 --> 00:49:54.780
my teeth right afterwards but i i just do it

00:49:54.780 --> 00:49:59.460
because uh like my parents like uh here's a quick

00:49:59.460 --> 00:50:03.099
story my parents uh because I was not always

00:50:03.099 --> 00:50:08.800
a great person. I mean, as a kid, something to

00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:13.659
brush my teeth regularly for the most time. My

00:50:13.659 --> 00:50:16.559
parents used to tell me I had to brush it for

00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:19.579
like two minutes straight, and they had this

00:50:19.579 --> 00:50:23.780
egg timer, and it felt like it got awfully slow.

00:50:24.179 --> 00:50:29.099
I'm like, one Mississippi, two Mississippi. I

00:50:29.099 --> 00:50:33.619
felt like I was like, You know, in The Wizard

00:50:33.619 --> 00:50:38.420
of Oz, that hourglass, it just felt awful. I

00:50:38.420 --> 00:50:40.699
was like, so this is what Dorothy felt like in

00:50:40.699 --> 00:50:46.940
The Wizard of Oz. And it was terrible. And I

00:50:46.940 --> 00:50:50.960
admit that I had to do better brushing my teeth.

00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:55.539
So my gums were very inflamed. My parents don't.

00:50:55.699 --> 00:50:59.369
And so over the years, I got better. Obviously,

00:50:59.429 --> 00:51:01.389
I got better at brushing them and maintaining

00:51:01.389 --> 00:51:06.070
them. And me and my mom always talked about me

00:51:06.070 --> 00:51:10.070
again. I told her, I was like, I really wish

00:51:10.070 --> 00:51:15.389
I had more whitened teeth because my teeth, because

00:51:15.389 --> 00:51:19.070
I had so much soda when I was a kid and growing

00:51:19.070 --> 00:51:24.969
up, it would stain yellow. And just brushing

00:51:24.969 --> 00:51:28.380
them was like... It's not going to go away at

00:51:28.380 --> 00:51:35.340
all. And so my mom said, okay, I'll make you

00:51:35.340 --> 00:51:38.719
a deal. If you get your gums down to where the

00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:41.400
dentist wants your gums to be, to be healthy

00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.559
and whatnot, and you keep brushing them and maintaining

00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.739
them, and once the dentist says that it's perfect,

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:53.039
you can get them whitened. And because I'm autistic

00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:58.880
and I have a really good memory. I remember word

00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:03.739
for word and I hounded my parents. So I just

00:52:03.739 --> 00:52:07.159
did everything that the dentist said. I flossed,

00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:13.079
I brushed, I got a water pick because I'm terrible

00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:18.179
at floss. And my parents said to me, and so finally

00:52:18.179 --> 00:52:22.440
the day came and the dentist said to me, he's

00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.730
like, you can get your teeth whitened and my

00:52:24.730 --> 00:52:30.070
and i am and my mom's like at first i think my

00:52:30.070 --> 00:52:32.630
mom was almost forgetting what she said and i

00:52:32.630 --> 00:52:35.469
was like about that teeth whitening now she's

00:52:35.469 --> 00:52:39.750
like yeah but but she then she finally remembered

00:52:39.750 --> 00:52:42.550
because uh i guess i didn't stop hounding her

00:52:42.550 --> 00:52:46.010
for it but it's like hey you shouldn't make promises

00:52:46.010 --> 00:52:48.530
with me because it's like i will make sure you

00:52:48.530 --> 00:52:52.420
keep it Yeah, exactly. Hey, I kept my end of

00:52:52.420 --> 00:52:54.599
the bargain and helped me stop drinking lots

00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:59.599
of... I haven't had soda in, I think, 10 years,

00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:02.619
to be honest. Probably even more than that since

00:53:02.619 --> 00:53:05.539
the last time I had soda. Soda's so bad, not

00:53:05.539 --> 00:53:07.320
just for your teeth, it's bad for your bones,

00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.039
for your digestion, for your immune system, you

00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:11.820
name it, not good for you at all. It's probably

00:53:11.820 --> 00:53:14.920
one of the worst things there is. I know, but

00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:18.860
again, I didn't know that... You didn't know

00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:20.780
that then, and now you know it. So, you know,

00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:25.260
you know better, you do better. Yeah, so, hey,

00:53:25.500 --> 00:53:27.880
the teeth whitening worked to help me stop drinking

00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:31.139
soda. And that's another tip for you. If you

00:53:31.139 --> 00:53:35.079
want to get your teeth healthy and stop drinking

00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:37.820
soda, get your teeth whitened because you don't

00:53:37.820 --> 00:53:40.960
want to screw up $500 worth of stuff. There you

00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:42.880
go. That could work, too. That could be a good

00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.820
tip for sure. Even though I have $500, it doesn't

00:53:46.820 --> 00:53:52.579
mean I want to spend that $500. I'm not crazy.

00:53:52.940 --> 00:53:55.820
I mean, well, I am the crazy fitness guy, but

00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:58.300
it doesn't mean I'm that crazy. Yeah, I know

00:53:58.300 --> 00:54:02.070
what you mean. Exactly. So before we wrap up,

00:54:02.289 --> 00:54:05.269
where can people find your book? Where can people

00:54:05.269 --> 00:54:08.889
follow you? Where can people know more information

00:54:08.889 --> 00:54:11.849
about who you are? Yeah, so my main source is

00:54:11.849 --> 00:54:13.989
going to be my blog. And also people can go and

00:54:13.989 --> 00:54:15.690
download the first chapter of my book if they

00:54:15.690 --> 00:54:18.170
want and get some other recipes, other things.

00:54:18.250 --> 00:54:20.889
It's going to be just my name. So it's annalarbrown

00:54:20.889 --> 00:54:25.469
.com. And I am on primarily Facebook and Instagram.

00:54:25.949 --> 00:54:28.190
If you're a professional, you can also connect

00:54:28.190 --> 00:54:32.389
with me on LinkedIn. And I also have Pinterest

00:54:32.389 --> 00:54:34.989
as well, so Pinterest under my own name where

00:54:34.989 --> 00:54:37.210
I pin a lot of boards for recipes and things

00:54:37.210 --> 00:54:40.130
like that. I left Twitter about a year and a

00:54:40.130 --> 00:54:42.630
half ago. I got really fed up, and quite frankly,

00:54:42.730 --> 00:54:45.150
it's given me more peace of mind to not be on

00:54:45.150 --> 00:54:48.190
there anymore. Sorry, people that love Twitter,

00:54:48.269 --> 00:54:52.909
but I had had enough. I'm only on Twitter just

00:54:52.909 --> 00:54:59.369
to chill, and to be honest, I'm only on there

00:54:59.369 --> 00:55:03.230
just once in a while. I mean, I have a bunch

00:55:03.230 --> 00:55:07.909
of scheduled posts and whatnot to keep my feed

00:55:07.909 --> 00:55:12.909
active, but I check in maybe once or twice a

00:55:12.909 --> 00:55:16.469
day, but it's never like, oh, I'm just on here

00:55:16.469 --> 00:55:18.670
and on here and on here and on here, and that's

00:55:18.670 --> 00:55:24.369
it. I'm more on Facebook because I have a lot

00:55:24.369 --> 00:55:27.929
of friends on Facebook. I did find out I have

00:55:27.929 --> 00:55:31.389
a lot of followers on Twitter, so I'm not getting

00:55:31.389 --> 00:55:34.570
rid of it. I'm sorry. Yeah, you know, it has

00:55:34.570 --> 00:55:36.849
to be. I mean, I had a big Twitter following

00:55:36.849 --> 00:55:39.130
when I finally just clicked delete. It just got

00:55:39.130 --> 00:55:41.570
to the point. Somehow there was just too much.

00:55:41.570 --> 00:55:44.789
I was seeing too much political garbage and swearing

00:55:44.789 --> 00:55:46.809
and all kinds of other negative things that just

00:55:46.809 --> 00:55:48.510
kind of were getting me down, and I was addicted

00:55:48.510 --> 00:55:50.710
a little bit. I think I spent too much time on

00:55:50.710 --> 00:55:53.449
it, and I just decided I'd rather focus elsewhere,

00:55:53.610 --> 00:56:01.989
so I just deleted it. Well, what I did for my

00:56:01.989 --> 00:56:07.809
social media feeds, I just follow the topics

00:56:07.809 --> 00:56:10.789
I want to follow. I remove all the political

00:56:10.789 --> 00:56:15.949
stuff and I just ignore it and whatnot. And it

00:56:15.949 --> 00:56:22.519
has worked, to be honest. And plus, I've been

00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:25.860
using a lot of newsfeed readers, so I don't see

00:56:25.860 --> 00:56:30.019
all the political stuff. Because, you know, my

00:56:30.019 --> 00:56:33.840
brain, I like the saying that I came up with,

00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:37.440
I don't understand stupid. Yeah. And that's a

00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:39.840
political statement that's just saying, just

00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.869
in general, I don't understand stupid. Yeah,

00:56:42.889 --> 00:56:45.010
I know exactly what you mean. And I think part

00:56:45.010 --> 00:56:46.769
of my problem is that I had joined Twitter back

00:56:46.769 --> 00:56:50.829
in 2007 when it first came out. And it was kind

00:56:50.829 --> 00:56:52.530
of this etiquette thing that was like you follow

00:56:52.530 --> 00:56:55.369
back everybody that follows you. And so I had

00:56:55.369 --> 00:56:58.150
auto followed everybody who followed me. And

00:56:58.150 --> 00:57:00.230
so as a result, my account just had become a

00:57:00.230 --> 00:57:03.849
really huge mess. And I tried at the end before

00:57:03.849 --> 00:57:06.010
I left for about three months, I tried to clean

00:57:06.010 --> 00:57:07.630
it up and I just couldn't get it cleaned up.

00:57:07.690 --> 00:57:11.110
So I just went, see ya. deleted the whole thing.

00:57:11.250 --> 00:57:13.429
And, you know, I may come back eventually and

00:57:13.429 --> 00:57:16.550
start over. Who knows? But for now, I'm like,

00:57:16.550 --> 00:57:19.090
nah, I got enough social media. So, you know,

00:57:19.090 --> 00:57:22.590
I'm good. Yeah. Well, I deleted, I forget what

00:57:22.590 --> 00:57:27.170
I deleted. I think I deleted one, a few platforms.

00:57:27.349 --> 00:57:31.429
Like, I used to be on, I had Crazy Fitness Guy

00:57:31.429 --> 00:57:36.409
and Mix. I mean, it still exists for Crazy Fitness

00:57:36.409 --> 00:57:40.460
Guy and Mix. But there, Their website went from

00:57:40.460 --> 00:57:46.380
a website to just a landing page for their mobile

00:57:46.380 --> 00:57:49.139
app. And their mobile app has gotten worse and

00:57:49.139 --> 00:57:52.400
worse and worse. You used to be stumbled upon.

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:56.280
Then you just changed to Mix. And then you just

00:57:56.280 --> 00:58:01.420
became a hub for all the social media platforms.

00:58:02.510 --> 00:58:04.449
Do you have any plan of what you want to be?

00:58:05.170 --> 00:58:08.190
I know. No kidding. But yeah, you know, and I'm

00:58:08.190 --> 00:58:12.010
not on Snapchat or TikTok. I never have been.

00:58:12.010 --> 00:58:13.769
And I don't know what I'm ever going to be. I'm

00:58:13.769 --> 00:58:16.269
kind of like, well, maybe, you know. Yeah, I

00:58:16.269 --> 00:58:19.929
will never be on Snapchat. And I know you should

00:58:19.929 --> 00:58:24.269
never say never, but I really mean never. I'm

00:58:24.269 --> 00:58:26.829
on TikTok only just to share my live streams.

00:58:27.230 --> 00:58:31.139
I mean, obviously. past live streams and whatnot,

00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:35.699
but I don't do anything stupid on social media

00:58:35.699 --> 00:58:38.840
because that's not me. I might call out a company

00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:46.039
for something or annoy my favorite football team,

00:58:46.139 --> 00:58:48.960
the New York Giants, that came in dead last place.

00:58:49.780 --> 00:58:55.559
Oh, no. 4 -13. That's all I'm saying about that.

00:58:57.150 --> 00:58:59.590
So anyhow, primary ways to reach me most of the

00:58:59.590 --> 00:59:02.170
time would be, I mean, I do check them all, but

00:59:02.170 --> 00:59:04.369
really I'm on Facebook and Instagram the most.

00:59:04.449 --> 00:59:06.869
And on Instagram, it's my name back and my last

00:59:06.869 --> 00:59:10.130
name's first. So it's Brown Anna Laura on Instagram,

00:59:10.210 --> 00:59:12.829
partly just because for some reason, some person

00:59:12.829 --> 00:59:17.690
took the Anna Laura Brown on Instagram before

00:59:17.690 --> 00:59:20.130
I could get it. And I don't think that person

00:59:20.130 --> 00:59:22.369
really ever even posts. So it's like kind of

00:59:22.369 --> 00:59:26.550
annoying. They're probably robots. Probably.

00:59:28.500 --> 00:59:31.519
It's probably fake news. Who knows? Yeah, could

00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:35.820
be that too. Well, let's definitely stay in touch

00:59:35.820 --> 00:59:39.739
and let's follow each other on social media.

00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:44.059
I hope you'll be willing to come back on my show

00:59:44.059 --> 00:59:46.920
in the future because I like staying in touch

00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:49.760
with my previous guests. Yeah, for sure. Absolutely.

00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:53.219
Yeah. Awesome, and I'll definitely check out

00:59:53.219 --> 00:59:56.699
the first chapter of the book before the end

00:59:56.699 --> 01:00:02.639
of next week. First week back is always just...

01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:05.639
Yeah, it's hard. You love the vacation, but then

01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:08.199
you need a vacation from the vacation sometimes.

01:00:08.940 --> 01:00:12.059
Barely. Hey, can I get one more vacation? No.

01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:18.000
I need a vacation just from the vacation. So

01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:23.500
I need like one more week. Yeah. Well, it's great

01:00:23.500 --> 01:00:27.980
to have you on. And if you can just wait while

01:00:27.980 --> 01:00:31.219
we end up the live stream and we part our separate

01:00:31.219 --> 01:00:36.380
ways. And yeah, I'll see you in a few minutes.

01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:41.199
Yep. So that is all we have time for today. I'm

01:00:41.199 --> 01:00:44.739
sorry again for being 20 minutes late. Technology

01:00:44.739 --> 01:00:51.420
happened. And I'll hopefully get it fixed before

01:00:51.420 --> 01:00:55.760
our next live stream so we can be streaming on

01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:59.880
11 platforms instead of 10. But it's a lot better

01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:02.760
than I think last time I was streaming on five

01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:06.980
networks. So it's an improvement. For this year.

01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:12.800
So. And I like improvements. Anyway. Stay in

01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.579

It is Ryan here, and I have a question for you.

01:04:22.739 --> 01:04:25.820
What do you do when you win? Like, are you a

01:04:25.820 --> 01:04:28.739
fist pumper? A woohooer? A hand clapper? A high

01:04:28.739 --> 01:04:30.840
