THAT OVER 50 STAMINA: ARE YOU LOSING YOURS? · Uncluttered and Unfiltered: The Podcast For Women Over 50

• 1:03
  Welcome to Uncluttered and Unfiltered, the podcast urging
• 1:07
  you to let it go and don't look back.
• 1:10
  We've nationally acclaimed professional organizer Christine
• 1:13
  Stone and self-proclaimed Hot Damn Mess radio and TV
• 1:17
  personality Eden Kendall. Hi everyone, welcome to
• 1:21
  Uncluttered and Unfiltered, the podcast for women over 50.
• 1:25
  My name is Eden. Christine is with me and I just
• 1:27
  have this feeling. I just have this feeling that I
• 1:30
  am going to get scolded in this episode.
• 1:34
  We're going to talk stamina and I I've made the mistake of
• 1:38
  explaining to you that I woke up this morning feeling like I had
• 1:40
  been hit by a bus. I was so tired.
• 1:44
  There was no thought going through my mind of like I can
• 1:47
  stay in bed. I knew that that wasn't an
• 1:49
  option today, but it was. It was tough rolling this
• 1:53
  morning and then. What did I say?
• 1:55
  Why? What are you?
• 1:56
  Are you getting sick? And I said no, yes.
• 1:58
  And then you said, well, what did you do to make yourself so?
• 2:00
  No, I said. Why did you do this past?
• 2:02
  Week because I. Knew the answer.
• 2:04
  All right, so let me walk you through it.
• 2:05
  All right, so Saturday morning, Wait, did I go out Friday?
• 2:08
  Saturday morning? This is going to show you how
• 2:10
  different we are because let's compare weekends.
• 2:12
  First of all, your grandson was here this weekend.
• 2:14
  No, no, I was there this past. Weekend So OK, so you had a
• 2:20
  relax. You typically will have a nice
• 2:21
  relaxing weekend. Like the weekend before I
• 2:24
  watched Apple Cider Vinegar. That new show on Netflix.
• 2:26
  How was it? Oh, it was fabulous.
• 2:28
  Oh good. That's the one where she's
• 2:30
  scamming. She's.
• 2:32
  Scamming about having cancer, that one all.
• 2:35
  Right. So my weekend was I went to this
• 2:38
  event. It wasn't a race.
• 2:39
  It was a running event where they open up the biggest bridge
• 2:42
  in town called the heart bridge and you're allowed to run back
• 2:44
  and forth over it. So I did that for about 6 or 7
• 2:49
  miles of running back and forth over the heart bridge, but to
• 2:53
  prepare for an event that's coming up called the The River
• 2:55
  Run. And then on Saturday afternoon,
• 3:00
  we saw the new Captain America movie.
• 3:02
  Oh yeah, you like all? Those I love the Marvel movie.
• 3:04
  Yes, I know we're different that way.
• 3:06
  I've never. Seen one?
• 3:08
  That's how we're different. This isn't going to be your
• 3:10
  starter. And then let's see, I know you
• 3:14
  got a shock to look from from from the peanut gallery on that.
• 3:18
  So the next morning I got up in sky, my dog and I ran a 5K and
• 3:24
  we did. We did have a really nice time
• 3:27
  doing that together, my dog and I.
• 3:30
  And then what did I do the rest of the day on Sunday?
• 3:33
  Collapse. A little bit of collapsing, a
• 3:35
  little bit of collapsing roller skate practice.
• 3:38
  Oh my God. OK, in a future episode, OK,
• 3:45
  we'll be talking about what Eden is running away from when she
• 3:48
  runs, because this fascinates me, especially because this
• 3:54
  episode's on stamina and I'm shocked you have that much
• 3:58
  stamina. But here's the thing.
• 4:01
  What I don't anymore. This is what?
• 4:04
  How could you say that after describing what?
• 4:06
  You did Because of the way I feel right now, I have two gears
• 4:10
  and it's part of it is and you and I have discussed this.
• 4:13
  I'm not sure how much we've discussed it on the podcast as
• 4:15
  much as off the podcast where, you know, there's there's all of
• 4:18
  this research now on ADHD brains and, and the way people, people
• 4:23
  are motivated to. And what I have are two gears.
• 4:26
  I have complete comatose and then I have got to do everything
• 4:31
  all at once. Can't stop, won't stop.
• 4:34
  And that's just the way I'm made-up.
• 4:36
  The difference now that I'm in my 50s is that I will feel the
• 4:41
  brunt of it later. And I do run out of steam later
• 4:45
  in the day. Maybe not during the run, but
• 4:47
  later in the day. Where as I usually could, you
• 4:49
  know, be awake all day after doing something like that, I
• 4:52
  just can't be now. I have to get my good long naps
• 4:54
  in. I go to bed very early, very
• 4:57
  early. Well I do too, but I didn't run
• 5:01
  bridges and run a 5 mile. Run.
• 5:04
  But people should know that you have very physical job.
• 5:06
  I mean, people don't realize that organizing she's the one on
• 5:09
  the ladder pulling down the heavy boxes.
• 5:13
  I mean, I would love to put a Fitbit on you while you're doing
• 5:17
  an organizational project. Well, but I think what
• 5:22
  fascinates me is what time do you have for any enjoyment or is
• 5:29
  that your enjoyment? It's my enjoyment.
• 5:31
  That's my my question. It's my enjoyment.
• 5:34
  The other thing we watched was the Saturday Night Live special.
• 5:37
  So good. Great.
• 5:39
  So great. Two things with Saturday Night
• 5:41
  Live, and I know there are three things you can watch, but the
• 5:43
  documentary about the music called Ladies and Gentlemen,
• 5:46
  that's phenomenal. Then there's the the live thing
• 5:50
  they did this past. Yeah, Friday night for the.
• 5:53
  For the 50th anniversary and then they did one with just
• 5:55
  musical. So that was.
• 5:56
  So that was great. So.
• 5:58
  So yeah, so but that's very enjoyable to me.
• 6:00
  But that's just sitting on a couch and watching, so that
• 6:06
  doesn't. Require much so it doesn't take
• 6:08
  a toll, though on your physical body running that much
• 6:12
  consistently every single day. I I see you know I find this
• 6:16
  fascinating because I it just would it's not even in my it's
• 6:22
  not in my DNA. If you want to know the truth.
• 6:24
  I've never been a runner. I've never understood running
• 6:28
  and my younger brother was a runner, so I never understood it
• 6:32
  when he did it. I always felt like where well
• 6:35
  who are they running away from? Like what are they running for?
• 6:38
  Or what are they running to? Right.
• 6:40
  Like who are they? Running to.
• 6:42
  Or what are what is your brain doing when you're running?
• 6:45
  I guess that's what it is. What is?
• 6:46
  What is your brain doing when you're running that much?
• 6:50
  So this is what's so funny. I listen to a lot of audio books
• 6:54
  and so I can think of a race I have competed in and I can
• 6:58
  remember what book I was listening to while I ran it.
• 7:01
  And it's just a weird thing. Listen, I am someone who will
• 7:06
  tell you, I don't think for a moment someone who doesn't run
• 7:09
  is at all interested in hearing about running.
• 7:12
  But what you should be taking away from here is the underlying
• 7:16
  piece of. It that's.
• 7:18
  Right. So, yeah, I don't know.
• 7:20
  I don't know what it is, but it's just the way I've always
• 7:22
  been. I have AI follow the dopamine.
• 7:25
  That's that's what I'm learning. I'm I'm learning that because
• 7:28
  I'm start I'm reading books about and I follow dopamine and
• 7:32
  and if something excites me, I have to go all in or not at all
• 7:36
  and I have to release the energy.
• 7:38
  And so now as I'm getting older, I am finding that even though
• 7:43
  from the outside looking in, you're seeing somebody who looks
• 7:46
  like they're the Energizer Bunny, I'm telling you.
• 7:48
  The stamina is not. Stamina is not where it was, and
• 7:52
  I have to think that maybe not in running, but in every other
• 7:57
  activity and hobby and pastime that everybody has, they're
• 8:00
  experiencing it as well. But if you're not, I'd like to
• 8:03
  know your. Secret, right?
• 8:04
  Well, me too, but aside. From hormones.
• 8:08
  Right, right. But so do you ever think I'd see
• 8:12
  This is why I find this so fascinating.
• 8:14
  Do you ever think of like maybe slowing down a bit, like not
• 8:20
  running maybe one day on the weekend instead of two and
• 8:23
  having like Sunday is your total off day?
• 8:27
  Look, you look stressed. Just me asking, what is this
• 8:31
  nonsense? Right, Right.
• 8:33
  Like you looked at me and your eyes almost glazed over.
• 8:38
  It's also a social thing for. Me I have a.
• 8:40
  Bunch of girlfriends we meet up. It's very OK.
• 8:43
  Well, that makes better sense. And that's nice.
• 8:45
  I think later in life to have a bunch of.
• 8:47
  Girlfriends. You know one thing women our age
• 8:49
  struggle with is finding friend groups.
• 8:51
  Yes, and that is one thing in the running community that you
• 8:55
  never lack. That's great, you know.
• 8:57
  It's an easy date, it's an easy date.
• 8:59
  So I do find a lot of gratification socially there.
• 9:04
  It gives you something to talk about with strangers too.
• 9:06
  You know, it's it's nice. But let's let's delve into the
• 9:09
  research you've been doing. Because for those who don't
• 9:11
  know, Christine is like the researcher in.
• 9:13
  This I. Am in this relationship.
• 9:15
  I like to be prepared, like it's almost like homework.
• 9:18
  Yeah. So she had her homework and I
• 9:20
  said please let us know everything we need to know about
• 9:22
  stamina so that we can discuss it with a little bit of maybe
• 9:27
  Nuggets of help, some give some people something to take away
• 9:31
  from this. Well, first of all.
• 9:33
  Other than just two old biddies complaining.
• 9:35
  Well, first of all, you and I talked off air regarding the
• 9:40
  things that have changed because we don't have the stamina to do
• 9:44
  it anymore. And the first thing was drinking
• 9:46
  alcohol. Yes.
• 9:47
  And I think every woman over 50 will be raising their hand for
• 9:52
  this saying, Oh my God. I mean, back in the day you
• 9:56
  could. You could recover quick.
• 9:58
  And you could Polish off a bottle of wine with a friend and
• 10:01
  wake up the next morning and just go about your day.
• 10:04
  Now you know a glass could have you hungover for two days.
• 10:09
  Right. It's not that we're not able to
• 10:12
  fulfill the mission of drinking the whole bottle.
• 10:14
  We can do. It right?
• 10:16
  But we're not going to look good the next morning.
• 10:18
  Right. It's definitely not going to be.
• 10:20
  Worth and day drinking. Nothing's getting done later in
• 10:24
  the afternoon. Oh no, I used to turn it around
• 10:26
  and go back out. You're going to go put your
• 10:28
  pajamas on and get in bed at like 5:00?
• 10:31
  Yeah. I mean, that's what day drinking
• 10:32
  will do to you. I mean, it's just that's it.
• 10:35
  And nobody's saying that you have to stop.
• 10:37
  We're just saying, like, take the next day off, Yeah.
• 10:41
  So that's one thing that I think I noticed a lot more.
• 10:46
  Even turning 60, I still had a bit of stamina with that in my
• 10:51
  50s. But the minute I turned 60, I
• 10:54
  don't know where that went, but it went out the window.
• 10:57
  So it definitely is something that is only a weekend option,
• 11:02
  never a weekday option anymore and never a lot anymore.
• 11:07
  You know, when I say a lot, I mean more than two glasses.
• 11:10
  That's just not going to happen, period.
• 11:12
  So that's the first thing you and I talked about.
• 11:15
  Then we talked about, of course, parties, like how the stamina of
• 11:20
  staying up past, you know, or going out past 8:00.
• 11:24
  Like I have already warned my husband and he knows this.
• 11:27
  You have a window to catch me if you don't catch me by 6:30 to go
• 11:31
  out. And I mean, we're dressed ready
• 11:34
  to go, keys in hand or Uber ready called to pick us up.
• 11:38
  That windows gone and I have to stay home.
• 11:40
  Now it's shot done. Cinderella.
• 11:43
  He's so God love this man. He is home by 6:00, showering
• 11:49
  ready to go by 6:30. Get in the car.
• 11:51
  Get in the car. It is like I have a window and
• 11:55
  then when that window closes, exhaustion hits, you know, from
• 11:59
  the day, from, you know, stamina.
• 12:02
  None. Yes, well, we have.
• 12:04
  We talk about a window too, when my husband and I go out, but
• 12:06
  it's on the other side, the window at the end of the night.
• 12:09
  I'm like, you ever get me home? Or so anyway, that's a whole
• 12:12
  other whole other topic, a whole other day.
• 12:14
  But that does bring us to other parts of the stamina.
• 12:17
  Story, yes. And that is the bedroom.
• 12:21
  Yeah. I mean, I think for women,
• 12:23
  especially women in menopause, early menopause, post menopause.
• 12:28
  Wait, let me give our let me give our engineers and directors
• 12:31
  and producers the opportunity to put on some mirror muffs so that
• 12:35
  they don't lose their appetite for lunch, OK.
• 12:40
  But I mean, you know what I'm saying?
• 12:41
  Like especially when you're still have estrogen, Let's just
• 12:46
  say that, right? I mean, it's a whole different
• 12:49
  world after you've worked all day and you're in your 60s, late
• 12:53
  50s, early 50s. I mean, you've worked, you've
• 12:57
  cooked, you've grocery shopped, you've done a few loads of
• 13:00
  laundry, you've responded to emails.
• 13:03
  I mean, I could go on and on. The last thing you just want to
• 13:06
  get into the bed, turn on a show, even if it's a show like
• 13:11
  The Real Housewives or whatever, something that's kind of just
• 13:14
  numbing you and go to bed. So it's it kind of goes like
• 13:18
  this. Oh honey, I've checked my To Do
• 13:21
  List and you're not on. It you almost have to schedule
• 13:24
  it because it's like, OK, that means I'd have to like look
• 13:29
  good, wear something nice, smell good.
• 13:33
  You know what I mean? It's like for Mitch.
• 13:35
  Well, I mean you. I got let me give you some
• 13:37
  breaking. News.
• 13:39
  You don't have to do any of those things, Uh.
• 13:41
  Oh, I he'd love to hear that. Yeah, he you don't have to do
• 13:45
  any of those things. Mitch will show up for you, I
• 13:47
  guarantee you. I definitely.
• 13:49
  Think that as you age, yeah. No, it's it.
• 13:53
  Takes a hit. Stand to wise and you have to
• 13:56
  work at it. Yeah, you have to make an effort
• 13:59
  and two people have to make an. Effort.
• 14:00
  It's an, it has to be intentional.
• 14:02
  Yeah. It really.
• 14:02
  Because if it's, you know, if given a choice 9 out of 10
• 14:07
  times, you know, if there's something really good on people
• 14:10
  compelling, I mean. In it's nothing against your,
• 14:16
  your spouse, or your. Partner it has.
• 14:18
  Nothing to do with them at all. It's.
• 14:21
  Just we're tired. We're tired and so anyway, that
• 14:25
  is definitely something that I think stamina as you get older.
• 14:29
  Is I wish that we you had a workplace so we could record
• 14:33
  these episodes in front of all of your Co workers.
• 14:36
  Well, listen, we don't, so we get to enjoy your space.
• 14:40
  Talk about timing. Routine.
• 16:38
  OK, let's talk about that. So if your routine gets messed
• 16:42
  up in any way, I mean it could be the smallest thing, it will
• 16:48
  it's. Exhausting.
• 16:49
  It's exhausting and young people do not understand this.
• 16:54
  You could talk to them till you're blue in the face and they
• 16:58
  are like, OK boomer, you know what I mean?
• 17:01
  They don't understand that as you get older, you look forward
• 17:07
  to having a routine. I think it's part of aging if
• 17:11
  you want to know the truth. It's true though.
• 17:12
  It's why so many advanced, so many people in their advanced
• 17:18
  ages in like assisted living situations.
• 17:21
  It's a very routine. They they feel more comfortable
• 17:24
  in a routine. And I've noticed this already
• 17:28
  with my husband. He likes to know what we're
• 17:31
  going to be doing and when we're going to be doing it.
• 17:32
  I'm not quite to the point, Of course, you know, my brain works
• 17:35
  a little differently. I'm not quite to that point.
• 17:37
  I what I love is a day that's different every day.
• 17:40
  I love that. Oh, see, and I hate it's
• 17:42
  different. Every day is exhausting.
• 17:44
  I do find it to be more and more exhausting.
• 17:48
  And so for me, if if anything changes, it could be literally
• 17:54
  the smallest thing, like if my lawn man doesn't come on the day
• 17:59
  he was supposed to come and then I have to go out there and pull
• 18:02
  wheat, you know what I mean? It seems like every little thing
• 18:06
  makes a big difference as. You do.
• 18:08
  You have to. You have to walk on longer grass
• 18:10
  and that's tiring. No, I'm a weed picker, as you
• 18:13
  can imagine. Yeah, like, I like to garden.
• 18:16
  So if even something throws that off, or if you were expecting a
• 18:21
  sunny day because you had a million things you had to do and
• 18:24
  then it's pouring down rain and you're like, I'm not going out
• 18:26
  in that rain and getting soaking wet, that throws your day.
• 18:30
  Out. OK, let me ask you this.
• 18:31
  OK? Since you gave me a hard time
• 18:32
  about the wrong thing, I'm going to give you a hard time too.
• 18:34
  Love it. What kind of explosion happens
• 18:37
  in your brain if the trash doesn't get picked up on the
• 18:40
  right day? Because I know that you've
• 18:41
  cleaned out your refrigerator the day before.
• 18:43
  Trash day. Everyone knows that.
• 18:45
  It will definitely cause the garbage cans being so close to
• 18:51
  the street. And then what if it's windy and
• 18:53
  it gets knocked over or you know, then what if it what if,
• 18:58
  why aren't they coming? Like what is their reasoning if
• 19:01
  they don't come by the neck? I give them a little bit of
• 19:04
  grace like, you know, till the next day.
• 19:07
  But after that I will be the one who will like call and say is
• 19:11
  there something wrong? Like what happened?
• 19:13
  They never picked up the garbage.
• 19:14
  I'm. Not so, you know, because you
• 19:15
  know when things are supposed to happen in your life and on what
• 19:18
  day and and at what time. Yes, you need that.
• 19:21
  And and I also find that I know I said I like a day to be
• 19:26
  different, but I want my bedtime to be on.
• 19:28
  Time, right, Right. I don't really.
• 19:30
  Want well, that's that's non negotiable.
• 19:33
  I don't even consider that like part of.
• 19:36
  This is that Canon. That's just it.
• 19:39
  Non negotiable I mean. I don't mean sleeping, I mean
• 19:44
  getting into bed, relaxing because I just like, I also
• 19:50
  everybody as an organizer created a bedroom when we
• 19:54
  renovated our house. It is extremely relaxing,
• 19:58
  extremely peaceful, extremely calming.
• 20:01
  And so it's a place I really enjoy being.
• 20:06
  It's not a like, you know, so I created the environment because
• 20:10
  I knew that's what I needed. And so I love at the end of the
• 20:14
  day, changing into my pajamas, getting into bed.
• 20:18
  And I'm not saying. And it's a routine.
• 20:19
  You have an order. It's a routine.
• 20:21
  Yeah, I have my iPad, you know what I mean?
• 20:23
  I I I'm not just going to sleep. Right.
• 20:27
  There's a whole process and what does your research say about
• 20:30
  that as far as helping us to I don't conquer this issue with
• 20:34
  stamina. Well, for women over 50, a lot
• 20:37
  of it is hormone related, which I think we all kind of gathered
• 20:41
  that because your hormones are fluctuating, perimenopause,
• 20:46
  menopause, post menopause. So that's one thing is you have
• 20:50
  to decide, go to the doctor and find out if that can help by
• 20:55
  being on hormones, you know, So that's something you have to
• 20:59
  discuss with your doctor. But I do wholeheartedly believe
• 21:03
  hormones have a lot to do with stamina.
• 21:05
  Me personally, sleep disturbances, I think that is a
• 21:11
  whole nother thing. As you age and you're getting
• 21:14
  older, you do not sleep as well. You don't have sound sleep.
• 21:19
  You have intermittent sleep. You'll fall asleep, but you'll
• 21:22
  wake up in the middle of the night or you can't go to fall
• 21:26
  asleep. But then you, you know what I
• 21:28
  mean. It's never, it's never great
• 21:31
  sleep. And so if you don't have great
• 21:33
  sleep, of course you're not going to have great stamina.
• 21:36
  So trying to figure out sleep issues is a big and that can be
• 21:41
  hard. Yes, lately.
• 21:44
  So maybe we need to come back. And circle the oh, I definitely
• 21:47
  think I definitely because I think sleep effects every single
• 21:52
  thing in an over 50 woman's life, everything.
• 21:55
  So that's a big part of it. Of course, positive lifestyle
• 22:01
  factors. Now they say regular exercise,
• 22:03
  but I don't think what you do is regular.
• 22:05
  No, it's not. Really regular.
• 22:06
  I think it's exercise, but it's not normal.
• 22:09
  Regular exercise, I agree with you.
• 22:11
  Eating healthy, we all know that.
• 22:13
  And stress management of course. And I love to always read these
• 22:18
  because it's like mindful meditation, yoga, deep
• 22:21
  breathing, this I said that you just did a deep breath.
• 22:26
  I do believe honestly all that would work.
• 22:29
  It's just you have to do it. That's the problem.
• 22:33
  That's the problem and you know, prioritizing sleep, that's
• 22:37
  different than quality sleep. And the reason why I say that is
• 22:41
  because you know, if you don't say, well, I am in bed by 8:00
• 22:46
  or whatever, 830, you're not making it a priority.
• 22:51
  And then every, if you're not into a routine sleep habit, I
• 22:57
  think that affects your stamina as well, like when you get into
• 23:00
  bed, when you, you know, a routine at night, getting into
• 23:04
  bed. So of course, if you have
• 23:07
  anything more serious like memory lapses, forgetfulness,
• 23:11
  you know, mood swings, other things, you may want to talk to
• 23:14
  a doctor because you just want to rule out that anything
• 23:17
  serious. Of course.
• 23:19
  Is going. On yeah like an an immediate
• 23:21
  drop like you know that feeling of just you can't even lift a
• 23:25
  finger right you know that's not what we're.
• 23:27
  Talking about no, we're we're just talking about not having
• 23:29
  the Sammy you did when you were younger.
• 23:31
  We're talking about going to the Donny Osmond concert and knowing
• 23:34
  that the next day you're not going to have any plans.
• 23:36
  Oh, we had no plans. We did not have plans.
• 23:38
  We had an Uber ride and a nice. Evening.
• 23:41
  It drove that man insane on the way home.
• 23:43
  And yeah, so that's what I mean, like, almost like if you got
• 23:50
  offered concert tickets, right? For me at least, I'm not going
• 23:56
  to put you in in the middle of my craziness.
• 23:59
  I would for weeks be planning, OK, I'm going to, I'm going to
• 24:03
  schedule the Uber. I'm going to schedule the Uber
• 24:07
  home because God forbid I get stuck and then I don't get home
• 24:10
  till 1:00 in the morning, which I haven't seen in years.
• 24:14
  You know what I mean? It's a, it's a whole big thing
• 24:17
  in my head for like a week and a half, two weeks on, you know?
• 24:22
  If you asked, if you asked either of our daughters what one
• 24:25
  in the morning looks like, they could paint a picture of like
• 24:28
  nightlife and people and and and you hear glasses clinking and
• 24:33
  music playing. If you ask me what 1 in the
• 24:36
  morning feels like, it feels like my ceiling and maybe the
• 24:40
  fan whirring and me just trying to fall back asleep, You know
• 24:43
  it's never if I can help it. I'm not anywhere but in bed by
• 24:47
  one AMI mean. That's if I have like a party to
• 24:51
  go to, then I'm expected to stay out past 9:30.
• 24:56
  I have to. I'm going to admit it here on
• 24:58
  our podcast. Get an IV I have.
• 25:00
  To drink a Celsius, a cup of coffee, Yep.
• 25:04
  Other than that, it's just not going to happen.
• 25:06
  You were drinking Celsius that day, all day when we went to the
• 25:09
  Donny. Oz Well, not.
• 25:10
  I drank not on day. You can but I did because I
• 25:14
  literally said I am not missing one second of this show and I'm
• 25:19
  not leaving early so I had to drink a Celsius.
• 25:22
  So she did it y'all, and I did. So OK, let's talk about the
• 25:25
  nightclub that is created for people like us.
• 25:29
  Yes. Do you do you have a location
• 25:32
  for this nightclub or is it just something you read?
• 25:33
  That it was a story I read that they are now creating nightclubs
• 25:38
  where they close at 10. It's for women who go out at
• 25:43
  5:00 and they close. That's it.
• 25:46
  It's over by 10. Well, I mean, it wasn't a Jamie
• 25:49
  Lee Curtis that said, come on, you guys, Coldplay, Rolling
• 25:53
  Stones, whatever. Like your audience is getting
• 25:55
  older. Let's start these shows at 5:00
• 25:57
  PM because your audience is getting older.
• 25:59
  But but to me, it reminds me of when the kids were little.
• 26:02
  We used to do noon Year's Eve and I like countdown to noon and
• 26:06
  do like balloons and woo and just we're done.
• 26:10
  Everyone go to bed at, you know, normal time.
• 26:12
  So these nightclubs are closing at 10 AM. 10:00 PM.
• 26:15
  If there was a nightclub here locally like that, I would
• 26:19
  definitely be all in. I think going out at 5:00 is the
• 26:24
  perfect time to go out. Sure.
• 26:26
  You still have energy? Yeah.
• 26:28
  OK. You still have enough time in
• 26:30
  the day to get ready, so you're not gonna be all dragging trying
• 26:34
  to get ready before the event. And then by 8839, everyone's
• 26:40
  like, OK, we've been out since 5:00, it's time to go home and
• 26:43
  go to bed. Yeah, it's a win, win.
• 26:45
  You know what? You'll double your income
• 26:47
  Nightclubs because you can do a quick turn around and open your
• 26:50
  doors again for the younger crowd.
• 26:52
  Well, have you seen trying to get an open table reservation at
• 26:57
  5:00 is almost impossible everywhere because since COVID
• 27:01
  it has become the new dining time.
• 27:04
  So in New York City and California it is hard to get.
• 27:09
  Miami, you cannot get reservations at 5530 because
• 27:14
  that's now the time everyone wants to go out.
• 27:17
  Why like just? Exactly because people got used
• 27:19
  to being home. Oh, OK, And so food's food
• 27:23
  you're going to eat. You have a couple glasses of
• 27:26
  wine, eat your meal and go home. Which, by the way, sounds like a
• 27:29
  perfect night for me. You don't have to tack on
• 27:30
  anything after that. We don't have to go to the
• 27:32
  movies. We don't have to go.
• 27:33
  To. Just let's have dinner.
• 27:35
  Go home. Perfect.
• 27:36
  Aren't we so fun? We're so fun, but we are fun.
• 27:39
  That's the thing. We're having fun.
• 27:41
  Hey, I'm fun before 9. I am.
• 27:44
  I'm a lot of fun before. 9 I think that's something you'd be
• 27:47
  very proud of. So we would love to know from
• 27:50
  you where you are with all of this as we all move forward in
• 27:54
  our lives. So please join us on Uncluttered
• 27:57
  and Unfiltered Ladies Only. That's our private Facebook
• 27:59
  group. That's where people kind of let
• 28:00
  their hair down and they don't worry about, you know, being out
• 28:03
  there for everybody's consumption.
• 28:05
  We're also on all the other social medias, of course.
• 28:08
  And you know, we don't ask you this often enough.
• 28:10
  Please share this podcast with one friend.
• 28:13
  That's all we're asking. You know, Would you like to
• 28:15
  leave a review? Great.
• 28:16
  Want to leave a stars? Great.
• 28:17
  But more than anything else, we would love it if you just share
• 28:21
  us with one friend. Just that one girlfriend, you
• 28:25
  know? And I've heard so many people
• 28:27
  who have said, you know, you 2, this was needed for ladies.
• 28:33
  Because we're talking about the things.
• 28:36
  All the things. So, you know, let's think of a
• 28:39
  good close. We we were trying to get in the
• 28:40
  habit of thinking of these before we started the podcast,
• 28:43
  like at the beginning and then we'd know how we were going to
• 28:45
  end it. But I think it it should be
• 28:47
  something to the effect of like, you know, you can admit, Yep,
• 28:52
  you can admit that you are not maybe as energetic, yes, as you
• 28:57
  used to be. And as far as those parties that
• 29:00
  don't even start until 9:00 PM, you can let those go.
• 29:03
  And don't look back.
