We Are Cruisin... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

Speaker 1: Okay, lots to get to today. After Show Podcast is
0:02
Speaker 1: on right now. Hi, everybody. I'm Justin. Welcome into the podcast.
0:06
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. It's September 15th. It is payday here at
0:09
Speaker 1: the radio station. Two days a month we get paid,
0:11
Speaker 1: the 15th and the last day of the month. So
0:13
Speaker 1: the 15th and 30th this month in September, which has
0:16
Speaker 1: 30 days, I believe.
0:18
Speaker 2: Yes.
0:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of weird. Twice a month. I was
0:22
Speaker 1: always every other week. I don't think I ever had
0:24
Speaker 1: a job that was every single week. I feel like
0:26
Speaker 1: most changed to biweekly. And then several years ago when
0:31
Speaker 1: I got my first contract, it goes to twice a month.
0:34
Speaker 1: So on the 15th is your salary check and then
0:38
Speaker 1: any endorsements that you have. Those are commercials or appearances,
0:42
Speaker 1: anything extra goes in that check. So that's always the
0:45
Speaker 1: good one if you have endorsements. And then the last
0:48
Speaker 1: check is your salary there. So yeah, I'm making moves, man.
0:54
Speaker 1: I'm really focused on saving money. I know I'm going
0:57
Speaker 1: to talk about vacation in a moment here, but, you know,
1:01
Speaker 1: just trying to look towards the future, looking at things
1:03
Speaker 1: like my 401k, which I have, which has a match
1:06
Speaker 1: on it. Roth IRAs for my children. Really, I'm late
1:11
Speaker 1: to the game here, but I'm really trying to put
1:13
Speaker 1: an effort into learning and more importantly, saving money. And so,
1:17
Speaker 1: you know, what I'm doing is, what I'm doing is, sorry,
1:21
Speaker 1: I was interrupted there. So what I'm doing is the
1:24
Speaker 1: same thing that I did to save money. And I've
1:26
Speaker 1: told that story before. I was always– I could never
1:29
Speaker 1: save money, terrible with money. I was in debt. It
1:32
Speaker 1: was a bad situation. And Dave Ramsey's books helped me
1:36
Speaker 1: a lot about saving $ 1, 000 and then going up from there.
1:40
Speaker 1: And that really helped me a lot. But what also
1:43
Speaker 1: helped me was basically delegating money into different accounts, not
1:48
Speaker 1: into my regular account. If you're a money person, if
1:52
Speaker 1: you're good with money, you probably are like, OK, Justin,
1:55
Speaker 1: we know this or whatever. But all my money would
1:58
Speaker 1: go into just my checking account. So it would all
2:00
Speaker 1: be there and then you know what? I would spend
2:02
Speaker 1: it and it would be gone. So what I did
2:04
Speaker 1: was I opened several different accounts for different things, things
2:07
Speaker 1: like my mortgage, things for these bills, things for my savings.
2:12
Speaker 1: And I went into my little account there and the
2:14
Speaker 1: money just goes. And whatever is left– goes into my
2:17
Speaker 1: checking as my personal money. So all my savings, all
2:20
Speaker 1: my bills, my car payment, all those things, I don't
2:23
Speaker 1: even see that money. It's like, it doesn't exist. So
2:26
Speaker 1: when I talk about being paid twice a month, the
2:29
Speaker 1: 15th check, today's check is what I really count on because,
2:33
Speaker 1: you know, after all the bills are paid and my
2:35
Speaker 1: savings goes out, I get what's left, right? Which is
2:38
Speaker 1: typically pretty good. But my last check is just my
2:42
Speaker 1: This is my salary. And what's left after I pay
2:44
Speaker 1: everything and all the money goes out? Not that good.
2:48
Speaker 1: Not that good. So I got to make the money
2:49
Speaker 1: that I get on the 15th last. So that's what
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm doing for the savings. So I opened a Roth IRA.
2:56
Speaker 1: I have money going there. I opened a high-yield savings account.
3:00
Speaker 1: I have money going there. And I'm just trying to
3:03
Speaker 1: really just delegate different things. And I adjusted where my
3:07
Speaker 1: 401k money is going. I got some advice. So, yeah,
3:11
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make financial moves. And then you have
3:14
Speaker 1: my vacation, which is why I love this podcast. You know,
3:17
Speaker 1: I did a podcast with Riley and Billy yesterday. I
3:20
Speaker 1: talked about vacations. We talked about cruises. And what do
3:23
Speaker 1: you know? I came in today and people have advice
3:25
Speaker 1: and they want to chime in on the subject. But
3:27
Speaker 1: to tie that in with the money, you know, it's
3:31
Speaker 1: about not being cheap but being smart about, you know,
3:35
Speaker 1: where the money goes and how much money is going
3:37
Speaker 1: towards vacation. It used to always petrify me, but then
3:41
Speaker 1: I got to a point where I'm like, listen, I'm
3:43
Speaker 1: saving money the best that I can, but I also
3:46
Speaker 1: want to provide memories for my children. And I know
3:50
Speaker 1: it doesn't– listen, we take one major vacation a year,
3:53
Speaker 1: my family and I. The rest are like day trips, right?
3:56
Speaker 1: Cape Cod. And those are great memories. But to take
3:59
Speaker 1: them to different places around the world is something that
4:01
Speaker 1: I really want to do. So I'll spend the extra
4:05
Speaker 1: money there, but it's just about kind of– budgeting and
4:08
Speaker 1: deciding where that money is going to come from. Because listen,
4:11
Speaker 1: if you've been broke, that fear of going broke is
4:14
Speaker 1: always going to be there. It never goes away, ever, ever, ever.
4:18
Speaker 1: And I've talked to friends of mine who have been
4:20
Speaker 1: broke and came from nothing, and they have the same fear.
4:23
Speaker 1: They could have $ 25, 000 in the bank and still think, fuck,
4:27
Speaker 1: what if I go broke? Or I'm on my way
4:29
Speaker 1: to going broke. So that's always in my head, which
4:32
Speaker 1: is a good thing because it keeps me ahead of
4:34
Speaker 1: the game. I don't really... The wasteful spending that I
4:38
Speaker 1: do is not– I do wasteful spending but not on everything, right?
4:45
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty specific. It's mostly like fitness stuff. That's
4:48
Speaker 1: what I spend money on, things that I don't need, right?
4:51
Speaker 1: For example, I'm doing high rocks. So I bought new sneakers.
4:54
Speaker 1: I bought new shorts. These are things that I'm getting
4:57
Speaker 1: for the race that I don't really need because I
4:59
Speaker 1: already have sneakers. I don't really need a new pair.
5:01
Speaker 1: But again, is it wasteful spending? It could be looked
5:04
Speaker 1: at that. So– Yeah, we talked about the cruise locked
5:08
Speaker 1: in on the cruise. I talked about that yesterday. I'm
5:10
Speaker 1: all in on it. And especially after these talkbacks from yesterday,
5:13
Speaker 1: definitely all in. Hey, Justin, you should definitely do the cruise.
5:17
Speaker 2: I actually am booked to go on the icon of
5:19
Speaker 2: the season April for the same seven day cruise with.
5:22
Speaker 3: My eight year old.
5:24
Speaker 4: I was a never cruise person, and then we took
5:26
Speaker 4: a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas a couple.
5:29
Speaker 1: Years ago because he really wanted to do that.
5:31
Speaker 3: And it was awesome. It's so good for families. It's
5:33
Speaker 3: so good for kids.
5:34
Speaker 2: There's so much to do.
5:35
Speaker 3: It's great.
5:36
Speaker 2: I think you guys will have a great time.
5:38
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, I do agree. Great for families. And
5:40
Speaker 1: to come from Billy Costa, too, he's been everywhere in
5:43
Speaker 1: the world. He's taken his kids everywhere. And he would
5:45
Speaker 1: be honest. He'd be like, do not do it. And
5:48
Speaker 1: the fact that he said, absolutely, my kids love the
5:50
Speaker 1: cruises that we went on. They're going to have a
5:52
Speaker 1: great time. And that's really what it's about. It's not
5:54
Speaker 1: a vacation for my wife and I. It is, but
5:56
Speaker 1: it's not like a just her and I thing. It's
5:58
Speaker 1: really about the kids and them having a good time
6:00
Speaker 1: and us too. But they're great for kids, and so
6:03
Speaker 1: I'm all in on that.
6:03
Speaker 3: Hi, Justin. You were talking about going on a cruise
6:06
Speaker 3: with your family for vacation and wondering if you can
6:09
Speaker 3: stay on the ship when everyone goes ashore to the
6:12
Speaker 3: excursions on shore. You absolutely can stay on the ship.
6:16
Speaker 3: In fact, my brother-in-law taught me after three cruises, he
6:19
Speaker 3: learned that the best thing to do on a cruise
6:22
Speaker 3: was to stay on the ship when everyone else leaves,
6:25
Speaker 3: and then you can have access to the pool and
6:28
Speaker 3: the games, and it's just so much easier and so
6:31
Speaker 3: much less crowded.
6:32
Speaker 4: Hot.
6:32
Speaker 1: Thank you for answering that. That was a genuine question
6:35
Speaker 1: that I had. Do they kick everybody off where you
6:37
Speaker 1: have to stay off for those hours, you know, where
6:39
Speaker 1: they're docked or can you stay on and think about it?
6:42
Speaker 2: Right.
6:42
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people on a cruise, a lot
6:44
Speaker 1: of the pools and the water park, probably full of people.
6:47
Speaker 1: But if they get off the boat, can you stay in,
6:49
Speaker 1: you know, use the ship? And apparently you can. I
6:52
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll do that. Depends on where we go,
6:54
Speaker 1: but I'm sure if it's somewhere where we've never been,
6:56
Speaker 1: which is everywhere. Maybe if like, One goes to Aruba.
7:02
Speaker 1: That's a good example. We've been to Aruba a couple
7:04
Speaker 1: of times. So if it was Aruba, maybe we'd stay
7:07
Speaker 1: on the ship. But if it's like Bahamas or Mexico,
7:10
Speaker 1: you know, we've never been to those places. So we're
7:12
Speaker 1: probably going to get off the ship.
7:13
Speaker 3: Hi, guys.
7:14
Speaker 4: Two things quickly. Justin, you can absolutely stay on the
7:17
Speaker 4: boat during a cruise. The other option is you get
7:20
Speaker 4: off and you pay for excursions that the cruise plans
7:25
Speaker 4: for you. They're expensive, but it's kind of nice to
7:27
Speaker 4: have them plan it. Otherwise, you're just kind of on
7:30
Speaker 4: your own and you need to figure out what you're
7:31
Speaker 4: going to do at each stop. Secondly, Riley, when you
7:34
Speaker 4: go on dates and they ask you what you do
7:36
Speaker 4: for a living, do you tell them you're a producer
7:38
Speaker 4: at Kiss 108?
7:39
Speaker 3: Ooh, ooh.
7:41
Speaker 1: Let me text her and see if she can come
7:42
Speaker 1: on and answer that question. I know she is very
7:45
Speaker 1: busy here. Let me text her and she'll come on. So, yeah,
7:49
Speaker 1: we haven't booked it yet, but we're looking at the
7:50
Speaker 1: cruise as what we want to do. We're going to
7:53
Speaker 1: try it once. If it doesn't work, it's all good.
7:55
Speaker 1: We're going to do our research and hopefully have a
7:58
Speaker 1: good time. We're looking at February vacation because the plan
8:01
Speaker 1: right now is that everyone takes separate vacations. One second.
8:06
Speaker 1: Separate vacations. So that would be in February for me. Riley,
8:09
Speaker 1: real quick, someone asked about your date yesterday. They want
8:14
Speaker 1: to know when you go on a date like you
8:16
Speaker 1: did this last weekend. Okay. Do you tell them where
8:18
Speaker 1: you work?
8:20
Speaker 5: Oh, I have it on my profile.
8:22
Speaker 6: Okay. So I do have producer for kiss when I
8:25
Speaker 6: wait on my profile. Um, a lot of times people
8:29
Speaker 6: will actually ask me, is that like an opening?
8:31
Speaker 5: They'll be like, wait, your job sounds so cool. Like,
8:33
Speaker 5: what do you do?
8:34
Speaker 6: And then I'll say like, Oh, I work for a
8:36
Speaker 6: morning show. And sometimes they'll be like, Oh, that's sick. Like,
8:39
Speaker 6: do you get like a lot of concert tickets or whatever?
8:42
Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, it's like the classic, just like whatever. But, um,
8:47
Speaker 6: We talked about it when we were on the date
8:49
Speaker 6: because he doesn't listen to pop music, so he was like, oh,
8:54
Speaker 6: what is that or whatever?
8:55
Speaker 5: I mean, he's from the area, but I don't think
8:57
Speaker 5: he really knew the show.
8:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he's not into pop music, then he would
9:00
Speaker 1: have never listened to Kiss 108, but he's heard of
9:02
Speaker 1: Kiss 108, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he just doesn't
9:04
Speaker 1: never listen to it. Yeah, correct.
9:06
Speaker 6: Even when I was like, for some reason was like, oh, yeah,
9:09
Speaker 6: it used to be Maddie in the morning. And sometimes
9:11
Speaker 6: then people will be like, oh, I know Maddie in
9:14
Speaker 6: the morning.
9:15
Speaker 5: That didn't even register.
9:15
Speaker 1: Really? Interesting.
9:18
Speaker 6: I'm assuming he probably knows but just didn't know.
9:22
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
9:23
Speaker 1: It does. It does. And having that on your profile,
9:26
Speaker 1: it really is– it's an interesting thing that kind of
9:29
Speaker 1: sticks out. And then if you meet the person, again,
9:31
Speaker 1: it's a great conversation. How did you get into radio?
9:33
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:34
Speaker 1: What do you do?
9:35
Speaker 5: Yep.
9:35
Speaker 6: And then he's a hockey fan, so I– When people
9:38
Speaker 6: are hockey fans, it's like kind of fun also to
9:40
Speaker 6: drop like, oh, and I also.
9:42
Speaker 5: Work for the Bruins.
9:43
Speaker 2: Oh, right.
9:43
Speaker 5: Like on somebody because then they're like, wait, what?
9:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have two cool jobs.
9:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
9:47
Speaker 1: Is that on your profile too?
9:48
Speaker 2: No.
9:49
Speaker 5: Hmm. So like– because this is my main gig.
9:52
Speaker 6: So like I just have this as my like true
9:56
Speaker 6: job or whatever. And then like sometimes if I'm like
9:59
Speaker 6: actually getting to know somebody, I'll be and they like
10:01
Speaker 6: hockey and like hockey gets brought up or whatever.
10:03
Speaker 5: I'll be like, oh, yeah, I also work.
10:04
Speaker 1: And then you do the whole like, oh, and by
10:06
Speaker 1: the way. Oh, and by the way.
10:08
Speaker 2: By the way.
10:08
Speaker 1: By the way.
10:09
Speaker 6: OK.
10:09
Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Riley, very much. I know you're
10:11
Speaker 1: very busy.
10:12
Speaker 5: No problem.
10:12
Speaker 1: All right. We have a meeting today.
10:14
Speaker 5: I think it got canceled.
10:16
Speaker 1: Oh, it did. I'm pretty sure.
10:17
Speaker 5: I always get confused though because there's like two in
10:19
Speaker 5: the schedule.
10:20
Speaker 1: I love when we– well, probably did because– Nobody's here. Well,
10:23
Speaker 1: we're going to have a meeting next week and next
10:25
Speaker 1: week is Jingle Ball week.
10:26
Speaker 5: I know.
10:26
Speaker 1: We announce a week from Friday.
10:28
Speaker 4: That's big.
10:28
Speaker 1: So that will be when that happens. Very exciting. All right.
10:31
Speaker 1: Thank you, Riley.
10:32
Speaker 6: OK.
10:32
Speaker 5: No problem.
10:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's going to happen next week, the Jingle
10:36
Speaker 1: Ball announcement. Don't tell anybody. They're still like hush-hush around here, secretive.
10:40
Speaker 1: But we'll announce the lineup on September 25th, which is
10:43
Speaker 1: really cool because– I'm hosting an event that night for
10:49
Speaker 1: the Merrimack Valley YMCA. This is very cool. It's in
10:52
Speaker 1: North Andover or Andover. I think it's Andover. I'll be
10:56
Speaker 1: there hosting and I'll be giving away tickets, a four-pack
10:59
Speaker 1: of tickets to be auctioned off, right, to raise money
11:02
Speaker 1: for the kids at the YMCA. And the lineup will
11:07
Speaker 1: just come out that morning. So it's really exciting. The
11:10
Speaker 1: lineup will come out. It's always huge. Jingle Ball, massive
11:13
Speaker 1: show in Boston. We wait all year for it. And
11:15
Speaker 1: then I'll be able to auction them off that night.
11:17
Speaker 1: So hopefully I raise a lot of money. Those events,
11:20
Speaker 1: they're there to raise money. That's what people come there
11:23
Speaker 1: to spend money to help the organization, the charity. In
11:28
Speaker 1: this case, it's the kids, man. Camp Otter, I visited
11:31
Speaker 1: in Salem, New Hampshire. And one of my good friends,
11:36
Speaker 1: Alan the plumber, his daughter Sage, goes to Camp Otter.
11:39
Speaker 1: When I visited, she was not there. She was on vacation.
11:41
Speaker 1: But I did a whole walkthrough. They explained what they do.
11:44
Speaker 1: It's an amazing, amazing camp. So my son might go
11:47
Speaker 1: there next year. He does the Boys and Girls Club now,
11:49
Speaker 1: which he loves. But we might switch it up. We
11:51
Speaker 1: might split it up. Some weeks at Camp Otter because
11:55
Speaker 1: you can do it by week, summer camp. We might
11:57
Speaker 1: do some weeks at Boys and Girls Club and some
11:58
Speaker 1: weeks at Camp Otter because the activities, the outdoor activities, amazing.
12:03
Speaker 1: They have the ropes course, a little one and a
12:06
Speaker 1: big one. Obviously, it's on water. So there's swimming and
12:10
Speaker 1: those kind of activities. I think it would be really fun.
12:12
Speaker 1: So that's just one of the programs that they're raising
12:14
Speaker 1: money for. Obviously, you know, the why and, you know,
12:18
Speaker 1: to help kids with food and going to camp and
12:23
Speaker 1: all the things that, you know, a lot of people struggle, man.
12:25
Speaker 1: A lot of families are struggling. You know, that's why,
12:28
Speaker 1: you know, I try to, you know, glass half full.
12:31
Speaker 1: That's my perspective, right? There's always people that are worse
12:34
Speaker 1: off and there are always people that need help, you know.
12:36
Speaker 1: So it's important to, I guess, lend a hand in
12:39
Speaker 1: any way that you can. to anybody that's in need, right?
12:43
Speaker 1: And that's not just money, okay? That's lending an ear.
12:47
Speaker 1: That's listening to somebody. That's being somebody that they can
12:52
Speaker 1: count on you to be there for them. And then also, yeah,
12:54
Speaker 1: it means money if you can give money. But time too.
12:57
Speaker 1: Time can be just as important as money. So that's
13:00
Speaker 1: my message for today. The Voice of Logan, that contest
13:04
Speaker 1: going on, really funny. I have my mother-in-law, Nani, inspired
13:07
Speaker 1: by one of our listeners, record– Record a script for
13:13
Speaker 1: the voice of Logan on the talkbacks for everybody to hear,
13:16
Speaker 1: because who's more Boston than Nani?
13:17
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Boston Logan International Airport, the front door
13:22
Speaker 2: of the capital of heart hustle and hometown pride. This
13:27
Speaker 2: city runs on iced coffee, raw ambition, and unbeatable team spirit.
13:33
Speaker 2: So let's go. Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll by
13:37
Speaker 2: the harbor, waiting in line for cannoli in the north end,
13:42
Speaker 2: Heading out to Gloucester for a little salt there. Paying
13:46
Speaker 2: your respect to the green monster like it's a sacred
13:50
Speaker 2: landmark because it is. We're wicked glad you're here.
13:55
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. She did it,
13:59
Speaker 1: you know, without an issue. And I love her for that.
14:02
Speaker 1: So they're not looking for anybody specifically with a Boston accent,
14:06
Speaker 1: just what they're calling a Boston vibe. So literally anybody
14:09
Speaker 1: can do it. Anybody can leave. You can record their
14:12
Speaker 1: message and submit it. And then the cool part is
14:14
Speaker 1: there's going to be a whole voting process to vote
14:17
Speaker 1: for this person. And the finalists in several weeks will
14:20

14:41
Speaker 1: Like how cool is that?
14:42
Speaker 2: So let's go.
14:43
Speaker 1: Let's go. All right. I got to run here. Love
14:47
Speaker 1: you guys so much. 15 minutes. I did a 50
14:49
Speaker 1: something minute podcast with Riley yesterday. That was cool. But
14:52
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. I have a class at 12 and then
14:54
Speaker 1: I have an hour of running. Boston High Rocks coming
14:58
Speaker 1: up quick. And I don't want to like have an accident.
15:01
Speaker 1: You know, you know that story. The poop accident at
15:03
Speaker 1: the High Rocks this past weekend. Hoping that doesn't happen.
15:06
Speaker 1: I think I'll be okay as long as I keep training. And,
15:10
Speaker 1: you know, don't do anything crazy. Oh, before I go,
15:13
Speaker 1: I was actually reading more about that. And what's really
15:16
Speaker 1: common for runners and also high rocks, because it is
15:19
Speaker 1: a running race, are gels, which are basically like carb
15:23
Speaker 1: gels that you can just take very quickly. And it
15:25
Speaker 1: just puts the carbs, they're fast digesting carbs right into
15:27
Speaker 1: your body. And that gives you energy, right? Runners use
15:30
Speaker 1: them all the time to push through hard runs. And
15:32
Speaker 1: in high rocks, you use them During the High Rocks
15:35
Speaker 1: race to basically fuel you. You're supposed to fuel leading
15:38
Speaker 1: up to it and hydrate. But during the race, you know,
15:40
Speaker 1: halfway through, you take one of the gels, boom. But
15:43
Speaker 1: the elite athletes, and I learned this from Josh Salzman,
15:46
Speaker 1: who's an elite High Rocks kid. He's 22. I don't
15:49
Speaker 1: know if I talked about him on the podcast. I forget.
15:51
Speaker 1: He has a connection to Billy, and he was on
15:53
Speaker 1: Billy's food show, Food for Thought, which isn't a food show.
15:55
Speaker 1: It's more of a lifestyle show. He had just come
15:59
Speaker 1: back from Sweden and did the High Rocks there. He's
16:01
Speaker 1: doing three races in Boston. Okay. It's four days of racing.
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm doing one. He's doing three, which is unbelievable. But
16:09
Speaker 1: when he came in, I spent a lot of time
16:11
Speaker 1: talking to him. And this kid is elite, elite athlete.
16:14
Speaker 1: To give you an idea, I said, what's your training like?
16:18
Speaker 1: He said, well, after this, I'm going to go work
16:20
Speaker 1: out and I'll do three hours. I'll do an hour
16:23
Speaker 1: on the bike, an hour on the incline treadmill, and
16:25
Speaker 1: an hour on the Stairmaster. And I go back to back.
16:30
Speaker 1: And he goes, yeah, three hours straight of endurance. Just crazy. Anyway,
16:35
Speaker 1: I asked about the gel thing. So he explained to
16:38
Speaker 1: me there's this– it's so like out of the– like
16:41
Speaker 1: my understanding. But basically there's something called sodium bicarbonate, OK?
16:48
Speaker 1: And it essentially is baking soda. But when you mix
16:52
Speaker 1: it with a gel or whatever it is, you mix it.
16:55
Speaker 1: So you buy the two things. He sent me the
16:57
Speaker 1: link on the website. And then you mix it together
16:59
Speaker 1: and you eat it because I think it's the sodium bicarbonate. um,
17:04
Speaker 1: is really good for you and it gives you energy, right?
17:07
Speaker 1: But it also upsets your stomachs. Then you mix it
17:09
Speaker 1: with something else and it's, it slowly releases in your system.
17:14
Speaker 1: So he said, you can try it, but don't try
17:16
Speaker 1: it at the race. Try it before. But if you
17:18
Speaker 1: take too much, cause you have to base it on
17:20
Speaker 1: your body weight, right? So if you overshoot it, you
17:23
Speaker 1: will have stomach problems and could have an accident. He
17:26
Speaker 1: told me that. So when I saw the high rocks
17:28
Speaker 1: woman that, you know, had the accident, I was like, oh,
17:31
Speaker 1: that must have been what happened, and I was reading
17:33
Speaker 1: about it online, and apparently that is a good possibility
17:37
Speaker 1: that is the culprit. She kind of took too much
17:39
Speaker 1: of that sodium bicarbonate and had the accident. That's a
17:42
Speaker 1: possibility because a lot of those elite– actually, all of
17:45
Speaker 1: those elite athletes use that stuff. I'm going to stick
17:48
Speaker 1: to the gels. The gels are just fine. I'm not elite.
17:51
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring two gels with me. I'm going
17:53
Speaker 1: to take one right before the race and then halfway
17:55
Speaker 1: through the race, like 30 minutes in, 30, 40 minutes in,
17:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to take another one. to help fuel me.
18:01
Speaker 1: I don't think I've reached the level of, of mixing
18:04
Speaker 1: things together like a scientist. And I don't, I don't know.
18:07
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm there yet.
18:08
Speaker 3: Anyway.
18:09
Speaker 5: All right.
18:09
Speaker 1: I got to go. 12 o'clock class coming up soon.
18:10
Speaker 6: Leave.
18:11
Speaker 1: Talk back. Talk tomorrow.
18:12
Speaker 6: Bye.
