• 1:40
  Speaker 4: like I'm into it, and Shane went, what is happening
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: is because y'all are the progressive commercial But I was like,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know why I did that. There is something
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: about getting older and just talking to people.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I have some are interested in My daughter and daughter
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: in law make fun of me because I have this
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: disease where if there's a pause, or if somebody is
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a pause, if somebody has said something funny and no
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: one laughs, I'm gonna courtesy laugh real hard, you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Or this is my favorite yes, and then it's.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: So funny because like at a banquet, I remember still
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: like kicking me on because the coach was so funny
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and I was laughing and I was like, oh my goodness,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: you know just and he was like, oh my gosh,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you got to stop this. But so Summer and I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: went to a baby shower and she told Tristan and
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Tristan was done laughing. So sometimes it's awkward when they're
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: opening the presence and no one else is like saying things,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, oh my gosh, I didn't know they had
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: those nowadays.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's so sad, and.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I really am interested, but I also know I won't.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I don't want to Wane to feel uncomfortable. I don't
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: wantyone to feel awkward. So if they're if they say
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: joking it's lame, I'm gonna laugh or I'm gonna say something.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But they they make fun of me all of the time.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: When one of my girlfriends, there's a new active place
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: that just was, it was like, I think it's fifty
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: five and older people can go there and work out
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: and play tennis.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: And all that stuff.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So that's my ada.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: My girlfriend she joined it and she said, can really
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I can't go anymore because the old man and keep
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: wanting to give me history lessons. I can't get on
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: a treadmill. I can't do anything without somebody, well, how
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: are you doing?
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: And then it goes into a story and she's like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I can't do it. I just can't go anymore.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: If you'd like to know the history of the treadmill.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: You know what, I think it's connection. I think that
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: when we're older, we like connecting with people. You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: there's just something about having a connection with a stranger
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that kind of feeds your soul in a way. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of older people are just lonely
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: and just having a conversation feeds them.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I think there's there's something to that for me because
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I know I do this. I just talk to people.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Part of it, though, is how many times have you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: been walking around and you knew you had dressed up
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for the day and nobody said anything, right, And I'm like, look,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: if if I want the world to be a better place,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: then I have to start making the world a better place.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: If I want people to dress better out in public,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: then I have to give them positive affirmation when they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: look good out in public. If somebody's walking around the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: grocery store in the pajamas, I'm not going to go
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you stupid kid, don't wear pajamas in the grocery. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: if somebody's looking good kind of next to them and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I go, oh, that's you look sharp, you look, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: may do that. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: My other challenge.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That that I run into, especially in grocery stores. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: don't know why it's in grocery stores, but the Holy
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Spirit tells me to go talk to ye and so
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: then that's when I start going, oh, he's making me
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be weird. But I do and I just I go
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: up and I start just talking to people. I do
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that all the time.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very curious if that the art of being
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: able to do that is going to go away, because
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: so many of our kids they're community communicate, tech text, yeah, you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Know, to technology, and so I'm so curious of the
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: age if that will just not be a thing. Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: well let me tell you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Let me tell y'all who won't care, who will not
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: care about awkward pauses, who will not feel the need
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to talk to everybody? And that is my husband. He
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: will not feel that need at alls. He'll pause so
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: long that we'll be talking to people now. And I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: because I'm nervous because it's been like fifteen seconds that he's.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Like, pause, you're figuring buffering.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll say he's thinking, he's about he's about
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: to get there to the answer.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: And he was like, don't do that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, don't pause for fifteen thirty seconds.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So you have the opposite problem. Your problem is you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: don't like people who don't talk to the strangers.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it doesn't even be strangers.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: We could be family. And I'm going, he's on the phone.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: With our kids, going, he's we're still here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He's thinking, like, desk car American mom, is a question,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: don't feel awkward about it. Just the Brokground Radio Dot
• 6:00
