• 0:22
  Speaker 2: before we start talking, know that we're not sponsored by
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: any of the things that we are talking about, which
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: honestly I probably should be. I don't know it's a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: complict of interest since it would be like making money anyway.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Moving on, But also, if you're doing happy hour things,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: do so responsibly because we all need you to stick
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: around and be healthy. Annie, are you doing anything responsibly
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in this happy hour? I hope so.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I am behind the curtain. Listeners. We're recording a lot
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: today for the holidays. Yes, so even though it's going
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to be a week before you hear them episode, I'm
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: still drinking out what I was drinking and on in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the episode I did my happy hour a week before.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Because we're recording them simultaneously. Coming to you from the past,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: read from the past, from the future.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We don't know what time is anymore. I can't stress
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this enough, for we are messing this up all of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I am in the nineties.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently I'm in wherever I want to be.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know where talking about your traveling. I am
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: still slipping on my soda, keeping my energy up so
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that we can keep talking, or ruining my sleep tonight,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know whichever one you want to call it. Interestingly,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this is a conversation we've already had where I was
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: talking about my future possibilities of things that I might
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: want to do, and I've decided I'm jumping into my
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: late in life hobby and passion. And I was thinking
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: about this before, where a lot of people like I
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: didn't even start doing this till I was late something
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and then hopefully it becomes a good part of your life.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stamp this as this is gonna be a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: good part of my life, which is I'm going to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: try to start doing group fitness leads, so I have
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: coordinated up to six routines by myself. I have started
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: teaching in my classes with other instructors, and like zumba
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and dance specifically, it's like I'm more like cardio jams,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Like that's what I originally knew it. Friend DeMarco who's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: no longer there because he got too big for us
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and moved on to a better company that treats them better.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Rightly so, rightly so, because I do not pay like
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the club that he works at, the membership is like
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: two fifty a month. No, thank you, I do Who
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: has that? Who?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Not me?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's not me. I'll tell you it's not me. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: look at people a little differently when I go in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: there and see them and there, I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: y'all rich rich, Like y'all can just spend money like that?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Because why because I say, at Ell Fitness, where I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: still have the twenty fifteen dudes, thank you very much,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and it has not increased in now or do I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have the initiation fees so or the yearly fees because
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I refuse to pay that. That's ridiculous. But with that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: so I have started my training. Any so, I've started
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: my certification process. I'm halfway through, and it's specifically with Zumba,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: which is a trademarked program that is based on Latin music.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Latin remix music is what I like to call it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of merengue, a lot of like rigoton kind of.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to get my foot in the door
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to see if I like this. I do. I like this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: What I do love is hyping people up and dancing
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with them like that is one of my favorite things
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to do. And often, like when you see me in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a class, people know why I am very quickly because
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'm loud and energetic, because how they would put it,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and I'm somewhat coordinated. I do follow them. I've fallen
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a few times.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You have.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I've fallen so many times.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That's kind of how we started workshopping you being on
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the show. You fell the end of the night, did
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I yes?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Was that the uh bok else?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: When I fell in the parking lot, yeah, yeah, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it was okay. I survived, No wonder I have this
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: knee and drink. There's so many things that I'm like, oh,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: where'd that come from? Anyway? But for the most part,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I am coordinated, uh and I can do a couple
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: of routines. My routines have been well received with getting
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: compliments of course, Like I don't think anyone would tell
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: me they hate it to my face, but you see
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: people and they walk out, like they will walk out
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: if they don't like something I've seen it happened. It
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: embarrasses me. For the people I'm like, oh no, oh no,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: or if it's too tough, Like sometimes some of the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: things are like this is way too many squats, So
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I go, I go by myself. I go on my
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: own four to five times a week, Like I am
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: pretty avid in this world because I just love dancing
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: so much, Like there's so much creativity where I get
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to like no coreyography and it's not hard choreography, it's
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: super easy choreography, and then you can make your own hype,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and then you get into the music and hopefully it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: good music, like so many different things, and then the people,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like I have a core group of friends. I've made
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: so many friends through Zoomba from a lot of different
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: ethnicities and nationalities as well as ages. Like our age
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: gap ranges from like twenty five to a woman in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: there as an eighty seven years old, no ninety two
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: years old, and she moves she's super cute too, so
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's really fun, Like it is a great way to go.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I am very nervous though that what if people don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: like my stuff? I am so overly anxious about, Like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I want my own original choreography because I just think
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: there's something too like being able to make my own
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: routines and then getting picking my own music out as
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: well as like like what if people don't like it?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Though you know that there's this level, but I feel
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: like this is a good place to be. Also, this
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: may be my form of midlife crisis.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Oh you think it might be, Andie, it might be
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: that restlessness of like i know I'm good at this,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: and I know I've stuck with this for over ten years,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Like I've had one instructor for more than ten years,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: almost ten years.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I actually wouldn't. Fred is one of my favorite people.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He is zoomba zumba, but he's also like a psychologist
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: slash counselor. So we are very interlinked in like our
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: thought our thoughts and our thought process. But like, it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: something that I know I've done, that's something that I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: know is easy. But it's easy just going in. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: started thinking about like, but I'm gonna have to commit,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Like there's no choice for me but to do this.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Like if I commit to teaching a class, I have
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to teach the same class every week unless they're closed
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: or unless I'm out every now and again. So there's
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a lot to this that I'm a little bit nervous
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: about because I also like staying at home and not
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: interacting with people and not being judged and not being
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: complained about, which you know's gonna happen.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like I have so many questions, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I do compare this to my fan fiction journey, which
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you and I were just talking about. It's gonna happen,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but it's it's gonna be fine because you're you're good.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You've been doing it ten years. You know what you're doing.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I've seen you do it. We did it before the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: pandemic really set in together. So I feel really confident
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in you. And I also believe people don't Most people
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: don't want to. They want you to succeed, right, They
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: want to build you up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah I will. So since I have started doing my
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: routines in classes as like a guest instructor for just
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of routines. Again, Fred has he's had my
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: back since John. He's the one that's like, you really
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: should do this, You're ready, you can do this, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, okay, and I asked him ten thousand questions.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: He's like, you're over preparing at this point, and I'm like, yeah,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: i am, because I am an anxious performer and I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: know it's going to take me a minute to feel comfortable,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: especially because there's also a lot of different routines that
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: he makes up that I love that I want to share.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: But I am so nervous that people are thinking that
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to steal his content or see people think
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I'm stealing his stuff, which I'm like, no, I want
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to credit it. And I'm like, I've made this whole
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: plan on how I'm doing it. As a fact, I'm
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: changing my name. I'm going to have like an instructor
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: name that's different from everything else, kind of also testing
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: my earlier my very first There are maybe one of
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: our first Happy Hour episodes when I was being in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: whining about my name, about using my Korean name, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I decided, I'm going to use my Korean family name
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: as my identifyer, like Samantha Lee instead of anything else,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and I'll use Caroll that if I do have social
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: media for being an instructor. So like, it's testing a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: lot of things in these waters. But I am also
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a lot older, and I'm not as in shape. There's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of anxiety in that. Even though and I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: say in shape, I don't look like I'm in shape.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Let's try that again in comparison to so many others,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: even though I again work out four to five times
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: a week, like, I definitely put it in like I define,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: because it's something that I need as an outlet, because
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I am such an introvert at least. This is like
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: social time that has a specific requirement that I don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: have to have long conversations in.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I love that. But so it's coming, y'all. I'm doing this.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing this. I've I've like, like I said, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: got six routines. I'm working up having ten before I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: get there. I'm in the middle of certifying for my
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Zumba instructor certification because it's cheaper and faster than the others.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: The others take four to six weeks, and I will
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: do it. Just I want to make sure I'm committed
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to this. I'm a little worried that after I start,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like, nevermind, h.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: This is interesting. Do you think because I feel like
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I have this problem where once I uh commit to something,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: even if I realize it's not for me, I can't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: get out. Do you do you think that you if
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you realize it's not for you, are going to be like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: oh no, I got to get out or do you think.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I think I'll do it for a while. I think
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I'll say a lot longer than I want to, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: then I think I'll start slowly transitioning it out, because
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that's how I am, very like methodical if I have
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to be, because I know that I have to keep
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: keeping good relations with the company, because I want to
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: keep going mm hmm to friend's class who is a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: friend of mine. I got, like I said, I go
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to like four or five. I know these instructors. I've
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: known them for years or I've built a good rapport
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: with them, so like, I don't want to lose that
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: with them. But I also know I am very good
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: about listening to I am stretching myself then I can't
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: do this or is becoming hazard to my mental health,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: which you know it can be because performing is still
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: performing doing physical tasks on the same time of doing
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a full time job on the same time of like
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: if there's any politics in there, I don't know about
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Zoomba politics. Honestly, I think it felt like a cult
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to me because they have very specifics that they own.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: They license a lot, they license a lot, so that's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: kind of odd to me. I don't know the history
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: behind it other than that I think a Latin dancer
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: created this, and I love that. I mean, this has
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: outlasted even like Tybo, Like you know, the popularity has
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: outgrown the popularity of like Aerba sized type of jazzer
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: size thing. So it's definitely hit a different realm. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: my dance is not necessarily Latin based. Don't get me wrong.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I love a good Latin beat, but I don't do
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: morengue and salsa and that's not my forte but because
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I'm more on the like hip hop dance routines. But
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I'm gonna get in there. I'm
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: gonna ge. I'm gonna get in there. I'm gonna do it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: You'll see me doing some merengue sussa. But yeah, so
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't it'll be interesting. I'll give
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you a report when I start. Everyone who cares, if
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you're in Atlanta, look out for me. I don't care.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just that's a lie. I don't know what I'm doing.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm making announcement like I'm actually
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: doing it. I'm just at the beginning process here. But again,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: like I said, this does feel like as a later
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in life adventure, which I am feeling a little a cliche,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit cliche.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Ish act here. But I'm also really I'm nervous and
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: excited about what it could be and probably just gonna
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: be me teaching classes with like twenty thirty people.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Please come to my class.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it'll get so popular it will be way
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: too many.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be too popular. I like thing
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: under the radar. Yeah, I need it just popular enough
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that it fills the class. Yeah, without drama.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got you. I'm really happy for you,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm excited about this. What does the certification process entail.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It's like, so you can do it on different ways.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: You can go in class all day for one day,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: but it's a ten hour course a to ten hour course,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: or you can do it online via zoom, or you
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: can do it on demand where it is you just
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: do it on a pre recorded thing. And that's what
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I chose because I don't want to talk to people,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: which is great for an instructor.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I think you'll I think you you said energetic, enthusiastic.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think you got that. I'm excited to see some
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of your routines. I think that's cool. I think that's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I feel very it feels very cliche.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: This.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe I've in the life crisis y'all.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe no offense, but I feel like you've had b
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: mid life.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: That was quarter life. We're bringing doing mid life. Okay, Well,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: if it is, then it's a good one. It's a
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: healthy one.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: It's a healthy one. Happy for.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yea hopefully.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully, well, cross fingers everybody.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Everything can go wrong.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Show. Maybe I'm sorry.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking from my fan fiction experience. I turned it
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: into work, and it was I used to have this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: anxiety about it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But now, Yeah, that's the That's the part is like
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to like no matter how I feel, Yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I have to be there. That's that's a scary part. Yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean the good thing about a workout
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that at least for me, is like when I start
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: moving around those yeah like better, Yeah, you feel better.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So hopefully that will kick in. Yes, we shall see,
• 15:14
