Speaker 2:You just have to deal with it Mm. Mm, are you going to rush this?
Speaker 1:No, okay Are you?
Speaker 2:No, because I'm getting the vibe that you're feeling a little Russian. Russian You're feeling Russian. That's not what I meant to say, but that's what came out. I don't really know Russian, though.
Speaker 1:No, I don't really know Russian, though. No, I know that da is yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And no is nyet. Okay, that's about it. This feels a little bit political.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I'd say so.
Speaker 1:Maybe we should move away from that.
Speaker 2:Let's move on.
Speaker 1:Not yet. Okay, not yet.
Speaker 2:Nyet. Well, that was a fun topic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so should we open this?

Speaker 1:Soon I'm going to figure it out.
Speaker 2:You're going to figure out how you're doing.
Speaker 1:I already said that.
Speaker 2:How it's going. Yeah, that's what I meant today, I think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I meant today. I think yeah, okay, oh, you mean like that Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, let's talk about the week.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's see. Last weekend, on Saturday, oh oh, I started, uh, gymnastics, right, I had my gymnastics group start their season on Saturday and it went really well. Oh yeah, I did not work. I went to work, but you came with me and so did my family.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And we went to the place where I'm working now and we had a meal and hung out there for a bit and we had a meal and hung out there for a bit. Yeah, my manager bought us three milkshakes, one for each kid, but sick child didn't want a milkshake, so I took his.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, so you took his.
Speaker 2:I took his Ah Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2:Oh, and then we basically went home, mm-hmm, yeah, that's what happened. And then on Sunday I did see you on Sunday, because you were working, because. I did go to work and you met me at work and I got to take your order.
Speaker 1:Yes, you did.
Speaker 2:I did not make you a milkshake though.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Because the milkshake machine and I are not super good friends no sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't it's not your bestie no, no it.
Speaker 2:It throws milkshakes at me sometimes and it's messy yeah, we, your daughter also, yeah, my daughter spent the night at someone's house and she also met me at work, and we all the three of us went back home together, yeah, and we went for like a super quick walk. I was supposed to lead spinning but I only had two people booked so I had to cancel, and so we went for a walk and I brought you home and then I went to gymnastics for me, and that went well also.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that super quick walk wasn't as quick as we wanted it to be.
Speaker 2:But it's okay, I made it to to gymnastics and time so it was all right. Good, so that was last weekend yeah this week has been chaotic for me again. I feel like the next at least eight weeks or so, maybe five I don't know how many weeks are left they're gonna be a bit chaotic for me yeah, I feel that.
Speaker 2:I feel that because I'm trying to go to classes, I have two classes and I feel like, uh, all of my free time is going towards homework right now. So I'm like constantly doing homework, yeah, and I'm trying to, you know, work at the same time and make it to some kind of group training when I can.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was my week Okay.
Speaker 2:And there's been a couple days this week when I got to see you for like five seconds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, about.
Speaker 2:Passing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, quick hug and then just.
Speaker 2:Trading buses.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and my week at work has been okay. I trained some new people, oh okay. And yeah.
Speaker 2:Did you make new besties?
Speaker 1:No, not really. I mean, I think it's difficult to train new people.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I just do things without even knowing what I do, so it's difficult for me to explain how to do things. It's like just do it Just copy me. Yeah, look at me and do it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my life is also going to be chaotic for every other week until Christmas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because.
Speaker 1:I'm going to work.
Speaker 2:Until we go to the States.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's going to be after that too, because that's going to be a little bit chaotic too, I guess. But so every other week I'm going to work evening shifts. So starting from the week after next week, I'm going to start evening shift. Yeah, let's see how that works.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's see Monday, tuesday and Wednesday. I worked evening shift this week. Oh yes, so yeah, we get out at like we're supposed to get out around 11, right and so far we haven't done that We've been working over because we're not done until like later.
Speaker 2:But on Tuesday I only worked like three hours because I went in and I was like I am exhausted Because I mean, if I don't make the 1125 bus-ish around there, then I have to wait until like midnight or half an hour past midnight for the next bus and then I don't get like actually home until 1.30 in the morning and it's not like I can sleep in because I still have to bring the kids to school in the morning. So on Tuesday I had only gotten like four hours of sleep. I went in and I was complaining that I was all tired and everything and the manager was like okay, well, do you want to leave early? I was like you know what, I usually wouldn't, but today I feel like I really have to. I don't think I can do another. You know four hours sleep.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Not two nights in the realm no so, yeah, he, let me go home early. And then I was uh, it was suggested that I leave even earlier because I guess they didn't really need me, and I was like I don't think so no, I won some money yeah, yeah. And then the night after that, on wednesday, we didn't get out until like midnight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that was later yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean that 11 bus was pretty much screwed anyway and I was doing dishes like for three hours straight with really tight dish gloves and my hands are still sore Like they hurt. It's a lot of heavy stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not that fun.
Speaker 1:No, but yeah, could be better.
Speaker 2:It could be better. Anyway, yeah, that was basically my week.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And oh, today's Friday it is. And yesterday was Thursday Yesterday. I took a math test and I passed it. And that was Thursday Yesterday, I took a math test and I passed it, and that was cool. I crammed in like two chapters of my math this week to catch up. Okay, because the first week. I was supposed to take a test at the end of the week, but I missed it because of work training.
Speaker 2:So, then this week I was like I'm just gonna get two chapters done and catch up. And I did that. And today I took another math test, geometry which I've always thought that I was pretty good at geometry, because it's like shapes and stuff and that's the patterns and I'm good at that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this was more like measuring the shapes. And so I took the test and I was like, yeah, I'm not feeling too great about it. I thought that I was going to do OK. But then I handed in my test and I looked back at my notes and was like, yeah, there were a couple of things that I did like completely wrong, and when he you know corrects my test, it's going to look ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Like where did these numbers come from? And then I got it back and I only had gotten two wrong. I mean, I was pretty convinced and like super frustrated with myself, because I was thinking, you know, I'm gonna have to redo this yeah but I didn't. I got eight out of ten good good Good, so cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've passed all of my tests so far. Did they like mix the tests up?
Speaker 2:No, I don't think so. No, no.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I just had. Oh, okay, you don't think so Maybe?
Speaker 2:I don't know, we'll never know.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I'll just take what I got, yeah, but yeah, I just had like one formula completely wrong, but that's, that was it. That was today, which is Friday. We also. Did you have anything else to add about the week?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Anything super exciting you've done.
Speaker 1:I already talked about my week.
Speaker 2:Your week was just as exciting as mine. Yep, all right. Well, it's Friday, it's September 12th, yeah, and we watch movies. Would you like to movie on?
Speaker 1:Let's movie on.
Speaker 2:Let's do that. Today we watched Braveheart. Yes, also Flubber, yeah, flubber, flubber, flubber, flubber. That's kind of fun to say Flubber Wally.
Speaker 1:Sounds like, yeah, sounds like Wally.
Speaker 2:Wally, it was kind of in the movie Mm-hmm, not really.
Speaker 1:No, no, that was E yeah. Okay, well, we um, okay, well, we watched braveheart first.
Speaker 2:Yes, so I'm, I'm gonna tell you about braveheart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's get serious here. Yeah, can you do that in like under three hours?
Speaker 2:in under three hours, I will tell you about braveheart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay I mean, it's not even three hours, it's like two hours and 57 minutes.
Speaker 2:That's about how long it's going to take for me to tell you about it. Not quite three hours, okay, so this is a movie with Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson is Scottish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in this movie.
Speaker 2:In this movie, not in real life.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Few people knows it. I bet everyone was thinking that guy must be Scottish. He's not.
Speaker 1:Did you buy his accent though?
Speaker 2:I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I'm so dumb.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I do, I do, I do. Yeah, actually it was pretty good. It was convincing. This movie is about Mel Gibson, who is Scottish, and Scotland is being taken over by England and he doesn't like that, so he starts wars with England, mostly because England killed his secret wife.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's all. Was it a good summary? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Bad summary.
Speaker 1:Good, bad summary.
Speaker 2:What did you think about this movie?
Speaker 1:It's a little bit long. I don't know. I'm not the biggest fan of this movie. Sure, it's good. The thing I looked up it was how many Oscars it won, and it won five.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Five Oscars and I'm like is it really worth five Oscars?
Speaker 2:I was just gonna ask you that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, I don't think, so I'm not sure what.
Speaker 2:This movie's kind of a big deal, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess so, but I don't really know why. I mean sure Scotland is a country and it should be taken seriously.
Speaker 2:Right, I guess.
Speaker 1:I guess. But there are other countries too in the world.
Speaker 2:What about all the like African countries that England took over?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What about them?
Speaker 1:Yeah, where's their brave heart? Asian countries.
Speaker 2:Yeah, where's the Asian brave heart?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it's well done and everything, but it's not a favorite, I wouldn't say that. I you know for a movie that won like five Oscars.
Speaker 2:The editing is kind of sloppy at times, I think yeah yeah, I noticed some like like a little jolts of the camera. Yeah, I think I saw it.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I don't know. But then again there's a lot of editing for a three-hour movie too yeah, yeah. But yeah, what did you think about this movie?
Speaker 2:So this movie I've seen, I've seen like half of it.
Speaker 1:Okay, before, before today.
Speaker 2:Now you've seen the entire thing, yeah yeah, okay, I saw the first half of this movie seven years ago.
Speaker 1:With your, with my life partner.
Speaker 2:He wasn't feeling well and he was like With your, with my life partner, he wasn't feeling well and he was like let's watch a movie. We're going to watch Braveheart. I was like ugh, all right.
Speaker 1:So it's his favorite movie.
Speaker 2:It's like, yeah, one of his favorite movies, apparently, or it's just a movie that he really liked and watched many times.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So he does like this movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he watched the entire thing with us.
Speaker 2:He did. He does like this movie. Yeah, he watched the entire thing with us. He did, uh, but he also watched judge dread with us last week too, so he was pretty happy with that. I think both from 95 yeah, okay, the first time I watched it it wasn't that impressive, because it basically starts off with you know, uh, rape, right yeah yeah, and I got like super grossed out over the guy licking the girl's face. I was like blah, blah, blah yeah, it was gross.
Speaker 2:So, um, I decided there that I was pretty much done with the movie and I took a nap.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, and like every time I woke up from this nap, the movie was still going. I was like, can it just be over already? Which is pretty much what happened with the Miserables too. I believe it was the same situation. Okay, we put on a movie and I took a nap and every time I woke up it was still going.
Speaker 1:Was that with your life partners?
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, okay, that was then too that's a musical. He doesn't even like music no, but I think it was something that maybe he wanted. He was like okay, let's just see what happens okay um, okay, so fast forward to today. After we watched the entire movie, I'm not gonna say I absolutely hate this movie. I don't like it no but um, it was on and off for me. I mean, certain scenes, certain parts were like, okay, this is okay I can watch this. It's kind of interesting. Some parts kind of got boring yeah it was like whatever.
Speaker 2:And then there were the gross parts where I just blah.
Speaker 1:There are some parts I really don't like. Do you know what that is? The eyeballs, the eyeballs.
Speaker 2:Okay, the guy got his eyeballs like pushed in and I didn't like it.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, that's true, but the parts I really don't like. I mean I know it's all fake, but I don't like when they kill the horses. Yeah, no, no, I really don't like. I mean I know it's all fake, but I don't like when they kill the horses.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, no, I really didn't like that.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I did not like it at all.
Speaker 1:No, that's like. The horses aren't doing anything. No, they didn't you know, sign up to do that.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So yeah. I don't like killing animals in movies. No me neither, never, no.
Speaker 2:I didn't like that part. I didn't like the eyeball part. I don't like licking faces.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Especially in a rapey sense it's gross. It's so off-putting, really like blah. It's like slime going through your body. It's just blah.
Speaker 1:It happens in my favorite movie as well, Terminator 2.
Speaker 2:People licking faces and rape.
Speaker 1:You know in the beginning she's in the mental ward, tied down to the bed and the warden, whatever it's called he comes in and licks her face.
Speaker 2:That's gross. Yeah, that's so unnecessary.
Speaker 1:That's like the first scene of.
Speaker 2:Ugh Blah. And we started off movie nights with that yeah, wrong foot, okay.
Speaker 1:That's my favorite movie. This is my best favorite movie, can you?
Speaker 2:guys like stop liking movies in which they just lick people's faces. Yeah okay, rape isn't fun.
Speaker 1:No, no, that's true.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:So it's like I'm going to say I like a third of it.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, so like an hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if they had all the good parts in one hour, then that would pretty much wrap up the movie. That would summarize it, and I would like it better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I feel like this movie. I could find a lot of scenes they could have cut down.
Speaker 2:Like anything that had to do with the English people that were just standing around talking. Yeah, because I didn't know what they were saying?
Speaker 1:No, you know, unlike Hook, I can actually come up with scenes.
Speaker 2:I don't really Care for Care for in this one. Yeah, all right Well.
Speaker 1:That was that.
Speaker 2:That was that one.
Speaker 1:And then Flubber.
Speaker 2:Please tell me.
Speaker 1:That's a little more lighthearted.
Speaker 2:Please tell me everything about Flubber.
Speaker 1:Yeah, more lighthearted.
Speaker 2:Please tell me everything about flubber yeah, more lighthearted than bravehearted, I don't know. These movies were about hearts and souls yeah, that's true, okay, it was a funny line that I said today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, it was funny, um, but I heard it before, wow uh joke ruined yeah, you should have saved it you know what?
Speaker 2:I didn't really, uh, I I didn't know if I would bring it up here or not no, but it's good that you did thank you, I just wanted to sticky note it in there yeah, flubber is a movie with robin williams.
Speaker 1:In one he plays like a scientist.
Speaker 2:He's a college professor. Yeah, professor.
Speaker 1:College professor inventor.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Chemistry, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And he invents flying rubber. He's gonna get married, but he keeps forgetting that he's gonna get married. That's a problem.
Speaker 2:He's a little absent-minded.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To anything that's not related to chemistry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he forgets things that doesn't really interest him, like getting married.
Speaker 2:I guess, no, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then he gets into some trouble and people want his flubber.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he has a hard time controlling the flubber at first, but then somehow he can control it, and I'm not really sure how it works because sometimes the rules of the flubber changes. Have you, did you notice that?
Speaker 2:What do you mean?
Speaker 1:Like sometimes you can't control it and sometimes you can control it. How do you know when you can control it? Like in the basketball scene when they do the dribbling it just keeps bouncing up and down and then it just stops. How did they stop that? I don't know no, that's like some of the rules I don't really understand. I don't know I mean, it's a kid's movie, so maybe we shouldn't analyze this too much.
Speaker 1:It's a silly movie, a funny movie. I saw it when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. I think it's the first time I've seen it in English.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, what did you think? Was it still funny?
Speaker 1:Yeah, good. So what do you think about this movie?
Speaker 2:I watched this movie so many times as a kid. I still love the movie, yeah Good. So what do you think about this movie? I watched this movie so many times as a kid. I still love the movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And even though it's from 97, I still think the animation looks pretty good, Very good. I mean, I didn't really. I mean, obviously, Flubber is very, very fake and animated.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can see.
Speaker 2:But you can't really, you can't really tell. I mean it doesn't look like. I mean the geese that were in the sky looked worse than flubber yeah, yeah, the flubber is and like the robots and stuff yeah, I love flubber.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how cool it looks yeah and I love this dance scene with flubbers yeah. Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2:And I really like the flying robot.
Speaker 1:Weebo yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I mean there's a lot of this movie I didn't remember.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So it was really fun to watch it again yeah, I love this movie.
Speaker 2:To summarize that yeah. And so do you.
Speaker 1:I do too. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 2:I do too.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Alright, anything else I don't think so. Okay, good movie. It was a good movie. Would you like to take a break?
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's take a break.
Speaker 2:Alright, we'll be right back. Yeah, maybe tomorrow, hi, and we're back. Are you ready?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Cool. What were you going to say?
Speaker 1:You know what I want to do. Please tell me. I want to look at your DNA. Oh God.
Speaker 2:Well, we have to come back first.
Speaker 1:Okay, we didn't. No, you have to say welcome back.
Speaker 2:Okay, I said we're back. Oh, we have to come back first Okay, we didn't.
Speaker 1:No, you have to say welcome back, okay.
Speaker 2:I said we're back. Oh, we're back. Okay, sorry, welcome back to them. No, no, say we're back.
Speaker 1:We're back.
Speaker 2:We are.
Speaker 1:Again, a second time.
Speaker 2:Oh, we are continuing to come back. Yeah, never get rid of us. No. To come back, yeah, um never get rid of us no I guess not.
Speaker 1:That's unfortunate, yeah, uh, okay. So what? What did you want?
Speaker 2:to do today. I want to look at your dna.
Speaker 1:That's weird, I know but okay.
Speaker 2:So a little bit of a backstory. It's kind of funny, okay. So we, I'm gonna go way back, because this is what I do.
Speaker 1:Way, way back.
Speaker 2:Way, way back, okay, so before I was born. Uh, no, that's too far. Okay, so, um, we've been on this very high and low journey to lose weight right Yep. And it was, it was going really well and then it kind of like stopped.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just have to ask you so high is that when you lose weight or and low when you gain weight? I would say that, yeah, they're opposites yeah yeah, so you know going uphill is losing weight.
Speaker 2:Going downhill is gaining weight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's positive and negative thing, right? Yeah, it's complicated.
Speaker 2:It is. So, yeah, we just kind of stopped for a while and I was, you know, a little frustrated and I was just like I don't know what to do and I'm done guessing around, you know, because for a while there I kind of felt like you know, I know what I'm doing and I'm just going to keep doing it, but then I'd get tired of it and stop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like you couldn't really enjoy yourself either that much.
Speaker 2:It was very difficult to enjoy myself and at the same time I mean like I was frustrated, because I love to eat. Eating is one of my favorite things to do, and when you're losing weight turns out, you have to kind of not do that as much.
Speaker 1:So that's a problem.
Speaker 2:It is a problem and it makes me upset. So then I figured you know, I've heard I was also getting advertisements on my phone from an app that I've been using. That was like you should order a DNA test and we'll see how you respond to certain foods. I was like I mean, maybe, so I didn't take just that one, I took a different one. I paid for this test and I received it and I followed through and I sent it out, and then this DNA company messages me on email and they're like oh, we're not going to do your test because we've gone bankrupt. I was like, well, um, well, okay, what so?
Speaker 1:you paid for nothing I did.
Speaker 2:Basically I paid to stab myself in the mouth no and send this stick out to someone and they just, I don't know, took it and threw it away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they took it on the run yeah, they took my spit stick and ran away.
Speaker 2:We got it. We got it. So if you find little clones of me somewhere, that would be cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Just like spawning Laurens all over the place, spam spawning would be interesting.
Speaker 1:What a world, what a world.
Speaker 2:Do you think the world will be better with more of me or less of me?
Speaker 1:I don't know. It feels like it might be too much. Right now as it already is, yeah.
Speaker 2:In this room. It's too much. There's too much Lauren here, and this is why I'm trying to lose weight. So I was like, okay, well, that's a bummer, but you know, I'm going to take my chances and try again with a different company. And so I did that and I waited forever for my results and they finally came in. And so now I'm going to use this information to try to help me lose weight in the future. Lose weight in the future because I I don't want to guess and I don't want, like uh, suggestions for the general masses you know, I want, I want customized specifically for you right, otherwise you're wasting time yeah, I think okay.
Speaker 2:so then I took my results and I fed them to the bunny and so now they're gone. No, I put them into OpenEyes. So I asked OpenEyes to explain my DNA results in detailed points for me to explain to you, and so you're going to get to deep dive into my DNA and really get to know me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Very fun, Fun things. Okay. So I have a few points here. Number one about me.
Speaker 1:Okay, of course, yeah.
Speaker 2:Making sure that that's clear. We're talking about me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we would never do this about me.
Speaker 2:Maybe, maybe, one day it's your turn. Maybe, Okay, number one, carbs are your fuel, but too many can trip you up, so I wasn't so far off when I was saying that I think I have a carb sensitivity.
Speaker 1:Carb problem.
Speaker 2:Carb problem. I have some carb problems. So it says your DNA shows that you process carbohydrates pretty efficiently, but there's a ceiling. Around 150 grams a day Is your sweet spot, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Go much higher and your body starts storing them as fat instead of using them as energy. So it's less about being carb intolerant and more about having a carb budget.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:So I can tolerate more than I thought that I could, but obviously not too much.
Speaker 1:No, you have to think about the budget.
Speaker 2:Right, I have to keep the budget in mind. Carb budget.
Speaker 1:Carb budget.
Speaker 2:Carb budget. Carb budget, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage. I have to think about the garbage. Okay, number two fat sensitivity is built into your code. Okay, I'm sensitive to fat. That's unfortunate it hurts, I get physical pain. It's all over my body, oh yeah, Okay. So you're genetically wired to be more sensitive to dietary fat. That means greasy overloads like fried food marathons hit you harder than the average person, which is why I gain weight when I eat pizza and you don't, Because I'm pretty sure if you get yours in if you do this and you get it in, it's going to be the complete opposite.
Speaker 2:It's going to be like more pizza, please.
Speaker 1:You should eat pizza every day.
Speaker 2:And then I'm going to be sad. It's going to be like you handle tons of carbs. You can have pizza and fat as you like.
Speaker 1:And for you it's like you have salad.
Speaker 2:You have salad. That is what you are limited to. Okay, so greasy overloads hit you harder than the average person, both in digestion and long-term metabolism. Quality fats like olive oil, avocado or fatty fish are your friends, bacon fest not so much. So I can't have lots of bacon Bacon fest. Bacon fest.
Speaker 1:We should make a festival Of bacon. So.
Speaker 2:I can't eat it. Because, apparently bacon is not really my friend.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I like it.
Speaker 1:You like pigs?
Speaker 2:I do.
Speaker 1:So you don't want to kill pigs, so maybe that's a good thing if you don't eat bacon.
Speaker 2:Bacon Maybe. Number three Appetite regulation is a little trickier for you, which I get that your genes point toward weaker appetite signaling, which explains why full doesn't always register when it should Okay, so I eat like way too much and then I pay for it later.
Speaker 1:Your sense of fullness is.
Speaker 2:It's a bit slow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's delayed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I process slowly. I have a slow processor, and apparently that's not just in my head, it's also in my stomach. Okay, this isn't willpower, it's literally wiring. Structured meals and protein-heavy snacks help fill in where your biology slacks off. Okay, so I need high protein, not for muscle building, but to keep my appetite regulation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but wouldn't it be good for muscle building too?
Speaker 2:Yeah, if I was trying to build muscles, which right now I'm not really trying.
Speaker 1:No, because I mean that means you're gonna gain weight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that too.
Speaker 1:But I mean that's in a good way, but still you, yeah, I don't know Okay, so I'm gonna get back to that later.
Speaker 2:Number four sugar hits harder than it should. What, no, no way. Because how many times have we walked through the store and my brain is going haywire and I'm like I need that and that and that and that, all sugar items.
Speaker 1:Sugar wire, yeah, sugar wire because you never talk about, hay no?
Speaker 2:I've never had a craving for hay. No, I guess not. Okay. So it says the sugar demon. Remember I? I named my oh yeah my cravings, a sugar demon, because that's basically what it is it's real, my dna backs that up. It's real, I'm not just making things up. Okay, my DNA backs it up. You're more responsive to sugar, both mentally and metabolically. That sounds right.
Speaker 1:Diabolically.
Speaker 2:Diabolically Quick highs.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's the alien language from the arrival.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the alien language from the arrival yeah, okay. Quick highs, quick crashes, stronger cravings. It's not just habit. Your body genuinely reacts like it's getting a bigger dose than other people feel. Okay, so that's real. Like we said, yeah.
Speaker 2:Number five Caffeine is your performance enhancer, with limits. You metabolize there's that word again. Metabolize caffeine at a medium rate. Fast enough that one coffee won't ruin your sleep 12 hours later, but slow enough that, if you pound it all afternoon, bedtimes toast. Basically, caffeine is a tool for you, but you need a cut off time around nine hours before bed to keep your sleep cycle safe.
Speaker 1:Nine hours.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't have caffeine for nine hours before bed time.
Speaker 1:So that's around 12?
Speaker 2:12, 1, 2, absolute latest. Yeah, wow, yeah or else I'm gonna have trouble sleeping, I guess. And then if I'm working nights, I can drink coffee until five. Wow, very cool. And then I have these ladies at my gymnastics meetings who want to have FICA at seven, eight o'clock at night and they're like have some coffee. And I'm like absolutely not. They're like please take some coffee. I was like I would like to sleep tonight.
Speaker 1:It's not like they have decaf or anything, right? No?
Speaker 2:no.
Speaker 1:They don't have decaf.
Speaker 2:No, that's sinful. Here. Yeah, that's like a huge slap in the face. What do you mean? You only have decaf. It's 8 o'clock at night. I have water, then I guess I'll just have water. I'll have tea water I can't even have the tea because I have caffeine. Drink hot water for my feet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's uh. Do they call it here um tea water? Yeah, what, oh? Is it like silver tea? Yeah but you mix it with like milk, right no, or is it literally just hot water, just hot water. Wow, that sounds really exciting. Silver tea.
Speaker 2:Silver tea. There's also silverfish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're not the same. You can put them in Ew, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2:They're bugs. Ugh Gross, okay, I.
Speaker 1:Okay, I bet they'd die, or maybe not. Ew, I don't want to think about this, okay.
Speaker 2:Please, I don't want to think about dumping bugs into my tea, my hot water.
Speaker 1:Silver tea.
Speaker 2:Silver tea, ew, okay. So then I asked it to add a point about exercise. Okay, so I have number six. Your body thrives on steady, consistent movement, not just bursts. Your DNA suggests you're better adapted to endurance-style activity over pure power sports Walking, cycling, swim I almost said simming, but it says swimming, or steady gems, gems, really Steady gems, steady gems. Walking, cycling, swimming or steady gym sessions give you more metabolic bang than short, explosive efforts. But here's the twist Mixing in strength training helps balance your fat sensitivity and sugar response, keeping your engine running cleaner long term. So a little bit of strength is okay for my mental health, I guess, all right. So basically, what I'm getting from this is that some strength training here and there is good for my mental health.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But it's mostly like moderate cardio.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you don't know nothing like explosive.
Speaker 2:No, nothing like huge, but moderate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know which is nice. Yeah, you don't plan on being like buff or anything.
Speaker 2:No, I mean just trimming down would be nice, but I do require the strength.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because of what you do.
Speaker 2:Because of what I do during my you know for my lifestyle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, gymnastics.
Speaker 2:And at work. I need muscles there. Okay, so then I asked about my personality. I wanted to see if my DNA could guess my personality.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So you get to chime in here and tell me If it's true or false, right Okay.
Speaker 1:So you get to chime in here and tell me if it's true or false, right Okay.
Speaker 2:All right. Number one out of five. Okay, true or false, I am dopamine and novelty seeking Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Your genetics lean toward higher curiosity and novelty seeking. Basically, you're wired to get a thrill from new ideas, projects and experiences. That buzz of starting something new is very real for you.
Speaker 1:That's so true. Okay, it couldn't be truer.
Speaker 2:Yep, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Do you agree?
Speaker 2:I agree.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, I get very excited by new things, especially if they interest me, if they don't, then I don't get that excited. If you're telling me, oh, we're going to watch Braveheart tomorrow, I'm going to be like, no, that's not really that fun.
Speaker 1:It's not that new.
Speaker 2:It's not that new. Well, I mean, the first time I kind of had the same reaction.
Speaker 1:I was like that's not that exciting, no, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, so number two I'm ADHD or I have ADHD wiring confirmed. The variations in your dopamine and serotonin systems line up with attention regulation challenges. You get that Attention challenges.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That doesn't mean bad focus. It means your brain is tuned like a high-powered radio, great at catching interesting signals, but sometimes hard to hold on one station.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't know. I mean, maybe it's true, but I don't feel like you ever like zone out or anything, At least not when I talk. Well, it's true.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:No, what do you say? It's true. I think, but you know you're not zoning out when I talk.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Because I'm so interesting, right? So I mean I out when I talk, no, it's because I'm so interesting. Right, so I mean I'm the wrong person to ask about this one.
Speaker 2:Right, I focus a lot on the things that interest me. But if I'm not interested then I'm like, eh, I'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now that we talk about it when it's a movie that doesn't interest you that much. You'd rather talk to your family members.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or do something completely different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe look at your phone, but we have a rule now.
Speaker 2:We have a rule now, yeah.
Speaker 1:That rule goes for me and you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but phones are supposed to be on the table.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, anyway.
Speaker 1:It is kind of a rule Basically on the table. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2:Anyway.
Speaker 1:It is kind of a rule.
Speaker 2:Basically, it's true.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, Number three stress response sensitivity. Your genes suggest you feel stress more acutely than average, but also recover relatively quickly once the trigger is gone. So you might spiral in the moment, but bounce back faster than people expect. Okay, so is that true or false? How do I react to stress?
Speaker 1:I don't know if I release you, don't get stressed that much.
Speaker 2:Maybe you don't see it then.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:So maybe I'm just really good at hiding it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so, because I get more stressed than you.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I guess a lot of my stress is internal.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like a tornado and then once it's over, it's like all right, well, we can calm down now and continue, whatever is going on. Yeah, so I guess it's true.
Speaker 2:Okay, cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Number four reward driven motivation. You're more responsive to reward pathways, meaning goals and external feedback like finishing tasks, getting praise or even crossing items off a list. Hit harder for you. That makes you naturally good at chasing results once you have a clear target.
Speaker 1:The thing with a list. Yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 2:I do love a list.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you love your lists.
Speaker 2:I like to cross off my lists.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm not sure, Do you, you know, complete things?
Speaker 2:Maybe not always.
Speaker 1:Not always.
Speaker 2:But this is reward driven motivation, so I guess I respond better to bribes.
Speaker 1:You should be a cop. That because respond better to bribes.
Speaker 2:You should be a cop. That because I respond to bribes okay, like please let me go. I'll pay you or I'll buy you a donut. All right, I guess it wasn't that bad is that what it means? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, bribing.
Speaker 1:What you just read.
Speaker 2:I think that's what it means oh yeah, that you take bribes. I think, I mean based off of the subtitle there reward-driven motivation it sounds like bribes. But then when it was explaining it was talking more like I like to get things done Like when I cross things off of my list. It was talking more like I like to get things done Like when I cross things off of my list. It feels really good, so the reward is really just me feeling productive in this case?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2:But we can test out the bribing thing to see how I respond to that.
Speaker 1:What would you say about that one? Is it true or false?
Speaker 2:I like the idea at least.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Maybe I don't always follow through. No, because I'll start off the day with like, oh well, I need to get this and this and this done, and then you know, maybe I'll get the first thing done, but the rest of it I get distracted with something else or I don't know, and then I don't feel that productive. So maybe it's kind of true, anyway. Anyway, number five social drive. There's some evidence in your DNA for stronger, stronger. Stronger.
Speaker 1:Stranger.
Speaker 2:Strangers. You might be a stranger, All right. There's some evidence in your DNA for stronger oxytocin receptor activity, aka the bonding hormone. This could tilt you toward valuing relationships, collaboration and people-first environments, which fits perfectly with production and project management.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's so awesome.
Speaker 2:I guess I like people. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Is that a coincidence that it says about the project management this?
Speaker 2:OpenEyes is already aware of my goals in life.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it has that in mind, right, okay?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and saying that my DNA is supportive of my goals. I guess in a way it works well together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2:So I like bonding, bonding. No, I said bonding.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:With relationships. I like to collaborate and work with people. I guess True or false. What do you think?
Speaker 1:I would say true.
Speaker 2:I feel like I put a lot of the people in my life first before me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To make them happy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm one of them.
Speaker 2:You are definitely one of them, and I think that's accurate.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:For this next part, I'm going to leave OpenEyes.
Speaker 1:Bye-bye.
Speaker 2:Bye, openeyes, and I'm going to pull up my actual results Okay. I'm going to tell you why. Tell me why when I'm ready?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I missed that part of this poem.
Speaker 2:This last point I want to bring up is my ancestry. Oh, my DNA tells me basically where I come from, so it's like me being an orphan I'm finally meeting my parents yeah what a weird coincidence. Okay, so it says that my oh lord, what's that?
Speaker 1:ancestry ancestry.
Speaker 2:Cool, that makes sense. Is 100 european European yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm a PN European.
Speaker 2:I am 58.8% from the British Islands and Ireland, ireland, ireland.
Speaker 1:Not Scotland.
Speaker 2:Hold on. Well, it's like the.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah.
Speaker 2:Why does it say Well, it's British Islands and. Ireland, ireland, ireland.
Speaker 1:So I guess Britain still owns Scotland. You're related to William Wallace.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so. He's my dad.
Speaker 1:You're like freedom.
Speaker 2:Working on it? Yeah, no. And then 41.2% of me is Central European.
Speaker 1:Okay, European Central.
Speaker 2:Central European.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So within Central Europe, I have German, French and Netherlands in me, Holland or something.
Speaker 1:We did look this up.
Speaker 2:What was that? We have answers from our episode, our last episode. Yeah, Talking about what was it?
Speaker 1:Netherlands, holland and.
Speaker 2:Netherlands, netherlands and Holland. Okay, so the Netherlands is correct for the entire country. Okay, but Holland is technically only two provinces, but commonly, though inaccurately, used to mean the whole country. So it's really Holland is an area of the Netherlands.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it's a little bit similar to when people talk about Scandinavia and include Finland.
Speaker 2:Is Finland not part of it? It's not why.
Speaker 1:I mean it's part of the Nordic countries but it's not part of Scandinavia.
Speaker 2:That's weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fun fact.
Speaker 2:So I'm not Swedish. I am mostly from the Britishish islands and ireland and central europe, german, french and netherland german friend and german friend in netherlands um, and that's. That's all I had for that yeah, that's yeah that's all me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now we know everything about you.
Speaker 2:And I have been working with Open Eyes to create like a plan on how I go further in this weight journey. And well, in the beginning here it's been like a plateau a bit, but I am. I'm feeling results. Yeah, I'm not seeing, but I'm feeling.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you're agile.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:You can get up on the thing.
Speaker 2:Plateau yeah, I can also, I can jump down. Oh, is it like that?
Speaker 1:Okay, so you're up on the plateau, it's just that you're going to get down.
Speaker 2:Or I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know either.
Speaker 2:In this case, I'd like to go down.
Speaker 1:Okay, yes, so well, that's easier. Yeah, but I'm also afraid of heights.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but close your eyes, Okay.
Speaker 1:Um no, no. Open eyes, close eyes.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And jump.
Speaker 2:Well, that's all I have for today. So yeah, as we reach the ending of the episode, would you like to tell me now what is currently ruining your life?
Speaker 1:Yes, I would like to tell you, I have a burning sensation in my leg, on my leg, is that how you say it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's on your leg, On my leg. If you felt it inside your leg, then you'd say in your leg.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well it's, but it's on your skin. It feels like it's both on and in.
Speaker 2:Do you feel it in your bone?
Speaker 1:No, maybe not, but in my skin. Then it's on, I got it under my skin.
Speaker 2:But it's on your skin.
Speaker 1:Okay, but what if it's under too?
Speaker 2:Well, the skin is the outside layer. Yeah, so it's on your leg okay, yeah if it was below your skin, then I think it would be in your leg yeah, what? Okay, so it's on my leg it is on your leg, yeah, okay so what's ruining your life? Right now, it is the fact that my hands are still hurting from washing dishes for three hours straight Okay, okay. That is still relevant because it still kind of hurts. I'm sore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is it on your skin?
Speaker 2:It's in my skin, it's in my hands, inside the muscles.
Speaker 1:In your bones, in my bones. So you have dish bones.
Speaker 2:Fish bones.
Speaker 1:Dish bones.
Speaker 2:Dish bones? Yeah, I have a condition. It's called dish bones. It's when you wash dishes for too long, and so your hands are sore from washing heavy dishes. Dish bones, You're welcome. That's me continuing to be a doctor today.
Speaker 1:You should say that when you see a doctor next time. I have a bit of dish bones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, this is a medical term. We all know this in the medical world. Anyway, are you out of sips?
Speaker 1:I'm out of sips. Then I guess, we're all out of episodes Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I couldn't out of episodes, right? Yeah, I couldn't think of that, but you reminded me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's usually.
Speaker 2:I know which is why it felt weird also yeah. I know that I was going to say it Like I can't say that.
Speaker 1:No, that's not my line, but it felt like we did it together.
Speaker 2:Teamwork teamwork, teamwork um. Would you like to wrap this? Up, let's do that, okay. Thank you for listening to this episode. It was lots of fun.
Speaker 1:Yes, and thank you for joining us. Uh, for the live mad libs drunk live mad libs.
Speaker 2:It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:no, we didn't oh okay because we said that we were going to and then, when we said that I had already decided, we're not doing that oh, I forgot good, don't think about it again, don't bring it up no um. Our next live mad libs is going to be in october oh yeah, it's september now yeah so the next one's in october at some point, let you know later next week, and that's about it, anything else.
