We bounce from movie night chaos to a surprisingly useful fitness reset, starting with Get On Board and ending with a Rocky-inspired plan you can do without stepping into a gym. We roast the try-hard approach, build a lazy-friendly routine that actually fits real life, and admit what’s currently ruining our lives. 
• glasses problems and the misery of eye exams 
• weekly highlights including gymnastics and a well-timed butt fall 
• Get On Board review and why it feels overdone 
• spotting early Adam Sandler movie connections and familiar faces 
• Rocky III review including the song and Apollo’s return 
• AI-generated Rocky workout split with stamina, strength, boxing, and recovery 
• why the “worst workout routine” leads to burnout and injury 
• chair, couch, and bed exercises for building a daily habit 
• what’s ruining our lives right now: exercise avoidance and school stress

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's why I'm fuzzy.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You see?

Uh-huh. And so that's like all I can think about now is that things aren't what they're supposed to be looking through my glasses. So I have to I have to do another eye exam and I don't really want to, because I feel so dumb when I do that.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Because I can't see anything.

SPEAKER_05

Uh, okay, so we watched movies. Would you like to movie on?

SPEAKER_04

We can movie on. Let's move on.

SPEAKER_05

Let's move on and talk about movies. Because today we watched Rocky III.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

And Get On Board. Getting on board. Going overboard.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that that was it, I think. And that's the one that we started with. So you are free to give me a bad summary.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Not the whole movie.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_05

A couple lines. What this movie is.

SPEAKER_04

This movie is uh Adam Sanders' first movie, and they're on a boat and he wants to be a comedian. Yeah. Yeah. And then other things happen.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Adam Sandler wants to be a comedian. Yeah. He has a rival.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, because he's just a waiter. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh okay. Do you have anything to say about the movie?

SPEAKER_04

Or Ur or sh should I ask you maybe what did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_05

Given it's Adam Sandler's first movie, I'll give it some wiggle room here. Yeah. I'll forgive it a bit. It wasn't great. Sure, it was maybe a little funny, but everything was like overdone. Like trying too hard and acting's not great.

SPEAKER_04

No. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I I have a feeling it was supposed to be that way.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I guess so. Or? Yeah I don't know. I I I uh this is the first time I s uh seeing this movie.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, okay. So I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_04

No, okay. Okay. So it's the first time for both of us.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. What did you think about the movie then?

SPEAKER_04

Um I went in with fairly low expectations, and yeah, they were kind of met. Uh good. Uh so I I didn't love this movie, but uh it had some funny moments. I mean, uh, it's still funnier than uh Punch Drunk Love.

SPEAKER_05

I guess so.

SPEAKER_04

I kind of thought it was interesting that they uh got a few fairly well-known names in this movie because it's uh like he said, a no-budget movie. But they got Polly from uh Rocky movies or Bert Young.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And uh Billy Sane was there and Billy Bob Thornton. I mean, those are pretty big names.

SPEAKER_05

Now they are. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So that's kind of cool. And I I really liked that um the guy who was the bartender, he's in like all Adam Sandler's movies, and he's there from the beginning.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You know, the Bobo caddy from Happy Gilmore and Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

It's fun to see that he was there from the beginning. I think he might be the first one. Like, yeah. I couldn't see anyone else that no. I don't know. No, I don't know. But yeah, uh it was okay.

SPEAKER_05

You wanna know what this movie reminded me of?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Do you have a guess?

SPEAKER_04

Uh yeah. Okay. I do have a guess.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Uh I think it's City Hunter.

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I was thinking of City Hunter this whole time.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Because I mean, he's on a boat and there were terrorists.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And uh uh it's trying really hard to be funny.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah, it's uh like over the top.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Um there's something else that I mean, maybe being crazy about girls as well.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

There's a lot of girls in like bikinis and they were in a beauty pageant or something.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

The other comedian, or you know, so annoying.

SPEAKER_05

He was really annoying.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I agree.

SPEAKER_04

I'm I'm like, there's no way people can like that guy.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And also the rocker guy. He was also He was also really annoying.

SPEAKER_05

And it was kind of funny with the the uh comedian guy because he had gotten himself locked in the bathroom, but he didn't even bother trying to unlock the door. No. And then when the door magically opens, yeah, it still doesn't unlock. No, it just like just opens.

SPEAKER_04

And and I'm like, who opened the door?

SPEAKER_05

Right?

SPEAKER_04

I wanted to see because uh you could see it it's uh you could see the handle going down, so someone opened it.

SPEAKER_05

Someone didn't, it was supposed to be God or something, but still nobody tried unlocking the door.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_05

So it looked like it was locked the whole time.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm that was that.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And also there's a uh reference to Rocky movies in this one, too. They had uh like a comedy boxing match or like a verbal fight, I guess, in a ring.

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, boxing ring.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and this is what led to Happy Gilmore. Yeah. Rocky, which we also watched today.

Rocky III And The Big Song

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, Rocky III.

SPEAKER_05

Rocky III. Can I tell you about Rocky III?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, please.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so in this movie, Rocky is like really good, and then he's really sad, and then he uh he fights Mr. T. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. What did you think about this movie? Oh, this is the one with the song as well.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's important.

SPEAKER_05

It's a big part of the movie, is the song.

SPEAKER_04

And I can uh I'm gonna tell you that I I do like this one better than the first two.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Because uh this is where I got my real interest in the movies.

SPEAKER_05

In Stallone?

SPEAKER_04

Well, in the Rocky movies. I mean I already had my interest in Stallone before because I saw Rambo and other movies. But uh yeah, I this one is like one of my favorites. It's not the favorite of the Rocky movies, but is that the last one? No.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, it's the next one.

SPEAKER_04

Next one, yes.

SPEAKER_05

It's the one after this next one. The next one. Yeah, next week. Number four. Who knew that number four would be the favorite? We've had conversations about sequels and such.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Which one is usually the favorite?

SPEAKER_04

Usually number two, I think, for me.

SPEAKER_05

Not this time. No, no, it was number four.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Uh so yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, number four is my favorite Star Wars movie. Except it's episode one.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So I guess whatever. Anyway.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I do like this movie.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

And uh I I really like um that uh Apollo Creed became a good guy in this one.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he got to come back to be good.

SPEAKER_04

It's like uh Shooter McGavin and Happy Gildmore too. You know, uh so what did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_05

I enjoyed this movie as well.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

This was the better one of the three so far. Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. And like we said, uh the the song is a big reason for it.

SPEAKER_05

His son doesn't really seem to have any abandonment issues.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_05

But we only get to see him like twice.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So maybe there is something underlying. Yeah. He keeps abandoning his child.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I mean, he's used to it.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, he seems to have a pretty good relationship with the boy. Yeah. But I don't know. I only got to see him twice. So I guess that speaks for itself. Yeah. But yeah, it was a good movie. So one out of two is pretty good.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh anything else?

SPEAKER_04

Uh no.

It's it's supposed to be basic, nothing fun.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

We're not eating for fun.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_05

We're eating to fuel. Okay. Okay. Water. You need to hydrate.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

The more you sweat, the more you need to drink. Water. Yeah. Water.

SPEAKER_02

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05

This is your I'm not even gonna bother response. Like I'm just throwing all of this information in the garbage as soon as it comes out.

SPEAKER_04

Yep.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I think the trash can is full now.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah, I guess so. Your progression plan is to uh uh week one and two, you keep your runs short, about two to three kilometers, and focus on finishing the workouts.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Finish the workouts.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Don't just give up in the middle.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta do the whole thing. Weeks three and four, you increase your reps and rounds and add sprints. Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And then week five and on, you push your intensity hard. And this is where it starts feeling like Rocky.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

The real Rocky difference. This is the part people skip. Train even when you don't feel like it. Keep it simple. Repeat the basics until they're boring. Rocky didn't win because of a fancy program. He outworked everyone. He's that good.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

The Worst Workout Routine Ever

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Now we're getting to the part that you probably can relate to more. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Uh watch movies.

SPEAKER_05

So I asked, what is the worst workout routine you can come up with? Cool. Here we go. Okay. The worst workout routine ever. So in the morning, you have chaos cardio. You wake up after four to five hours of sleep, immediately sprint for 10 minutes without a warm-up, then jog 10 kilometers at random pace, start fast, and then crash halfway. Finish with a hundred burpees for no reason. Um, this is not good because of injury risk and burnout speed run.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I mean, so far I I I it doesn't sound very nice.

SPEAKER_05

No. Your breakfast is either nothing or two thousand calories of sugar.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

No consistency.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Sounds like me.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Midday is a random strength nonsense. Nons nonsense. Nonsense. No. No, nonsense. Nonsense.

SPEAKER_04

Nonsense.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Do this in completely random order. Okay. 200 push-ups.

SPEAKER_04

Right.

SPEAKER_05

200 push-ups.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

All at once with terrible form.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Five max.

SPEAKER_04

That's I mean, that's how I do push-ups. Terrible form.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Five max deadlifts that are way too heavy.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

This is like trying too hard.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And it's backfiring.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it's gonna hurt my back too.

SPEAKER_05

A three-hour plank attempt.

SPEAKER_04

Uh three hours. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But you fail after two minutes and give up.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, probably. Yes.

SPEAKER_05

I had in my schedule that I would plank for three hours.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but uh I had other things to do.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I came up with a whole list of other things that I could be doing right now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

50 bicep curls every 20 minutes for three hours. Okay. Uh your evening looks like this. You're just working out all day. Wow. There's no rest here.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like this is much worse than the other one. So I yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh 60 minutes of jump rope and trip constantly.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Can you jump rope?

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_05

I struggle.

SPEAKER_04

I I mean I can do like maybe five. And I mean, it's not uh like it's very sloppy. It's not gracious. Not not gracious. That's the word I was looking for. And uh I um uh it's like I'm uh I'm jumping with flat feet.

SPEAKER_05

Oh okay.

SPEAKER_04

So that uh I'm so it's an earthquake. Yeah, it's like you don't hop on your toes.

SPEAKER_05

No. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

You don't know how to do that?

SPEAKER_04

Uh I I it it never happens. I I I don't know I don't know. I don't think about that.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. I just trip constantly. I can hardly do one without getting it around my ankles.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Uh 12 rounds of shadow boxing with no technique. So just randomly punching air. Punching air.

SPEAKER_04

Punching shadows.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I guess so.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Punch a wall or something equally dumb.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Does it say that?

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

This is your bad workout routine includes punching a wall.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Just one wall, just once.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Just once.

SPEAKER_05

Just once per day.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Because you have to do all of this every day.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, break your hand every day.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

And then you finish your overkill session with 500 sit-ups and zero stretching.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. You know what? I kinda like the first one better, actually.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, okay. Just wait. Just wait. It's gonna get better for you.

SPEAKER_04

Oh really?

SPEAKER_05

But your night routine includes uh phone scrolling until two in the morning.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, I like that.

SPEAKER_05

Eat random snacks, and then panic about not seeing results.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I do that.

SPEAKER_05

I already do that.

SPEAKER_04

I'm good at this.

SPEAKER_05

So far, so good. The key principles of this terrible plan are no rest days, no progression, max effort every day, terrible form, and no plan. And what would actually happen is week one, you would think I'm a machine. Week two, you'd be exhausted, sore, and demotivated. And by week three, quit completely or get injured. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's uh how I work out.

Chair Couch Bed Fitness Plan

SPEAKER_05

So it's important to not just go all in. You need a plan. Uh okay. This last part that I have for you, if you don't have anything else after, I requested a workout for the lazy in a chair, on the couch, or in bed.

SPEAKER_04

I like this. Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so this is something that anyone could do. No matter who you are, you can always work out no matter where you are. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Uh I don't have to say it again. So the rule of this game is that you can do it while watching TV, scrolling, or listening to something. You don't have to change your clothes. There's no setup, and you aim for 10 to 20 minutes total.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Level one, in the chair. I barely want to move, is basically what you're thinking. You do one to two rounds of all of these things. Okay. Uh seated knee lifts. So you sit back and you lift one knee at a time. 20 to 40 times. Okay. That's not so bad.

SPEAKER_01

I can do that.

SPEAKER_05

Arm punches, slow or fast. You can sit and punch the air for 30 to 60 seconds.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so like uh seated air punching.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Yeah. Uh seated twists. So you do pretty much those Russian twists. Yeah, okay. Sit-up twists, twists up, twist-ups. Yeah. Uh, but you just like have your butt at the front of the seat and you lean back and you uh twist like that about 20 times. And then toe taps. You tap your feet quickly on the floor for 30 to 60 seconds. Like you're running. That's you running. Oh, that hurt. My calf has been hurting. I should not be doing this. Okay. This alone already wakes up your body more than doing nothing. Level two on the couch. Uh so you try a little bit. You do two to three rounds of all of this. Sit to stand. So you stand up and you sit down 10 to 15 times. Okay. Okay. I mean, that's quite the workout.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

That already is exhausting. Uh couch push-ups. You put your hands on the couch or on a chair and do eight to fifteen push-ups.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Uh seated leg extensions. So you straighten one leg at a time. I think sitting. Maybe. Uh 10 to 15 times.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

And then shoulder raises with no weights are required. They're optional. Uh lift your arms to the side or the front. And do that 10 to 15 times. And then level three, I'm literally in bed. Which was what I was laughing at. Yeah. Doing exercises in bed. Uh, it doesn't say how many times, but I guess you get to decide.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. You fall asleep, I guess.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. This is a bedtime workout. Or first thing in the morning. The first one is glute squeezes. You squeeze your butt.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Tighten and hold for three seconds, 15 to 20 times. It's not so bad. Leg lifts, one at a time, 10 to 15 times each.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Mini crunches. You lift your shoulders slightly out of the bed. Like you're gonna get up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05

Like I'm gonna get up. No. No, I'm not. I'm gonna get up. No. No, no, no. I'm getting nope, nope, no, no. You're fooling yourself. Yes, for 10 to 20 times. Pretend to get out of bed for at least 10 times.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like that's a you know, a lot of the snoozers would do that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Um, this last one is called a dead bug. Do you know what that is?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna explain. Okay. Okay? I'm gonna explain the best I can verbally.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Uh so you lay flat in your bed, and then you raise your arms and your legs straight up to the ceiling. And then you take the opposite side. So my right arm and my left leg are gonna go down, but the other ones stay up, and then you switch. Okay. You know? Okay. So that's that's for ten for each side.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05

Uh the only rule that matters here is to do something every day. Even five minutes, even five minutes, minus mines, minutes, minutes. Even five minutes beats zero. So to make this actually work, here's a trick. Okay, attach it to do to attach it to something you already do.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

So, like you're watching Netflix or TV or something, make that your workout trigger. And you don't need a perfect plan, you just need to do something.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And I guess you can stop early if you want, because that builds momentum. I don't completely agree, but that's what it said.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

After a week, you can upgrade if you want by adding another round or slow down your reps, which makes it harder without more effort. And then after two to three weeks, if you really want to, you can add a short walk, five to ten minutes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But the reality of this is that it's not gonna turn you into Rocky Balboa.

SPEAKER_01

What?

SPEAKER_05

Sorry.

SPEAKER_01

What the heck?

SPEAKER_05

But it will build a habit, improve energy, and make it easier to level up later. Uh and honestly, people usually fail because they aim too high and not too low.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, that's all I had. Do you have any questions that I should add here?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. Do you have any questions?

SPEAKER_05

I asked my questions. I'm asking you. It's your turn to ask the questions.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but I'm thinking maybe you have questi other questions. You're allowed to have other questions.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Or was that good?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_05

That was your crash course on lazy exercise.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I I think I might do that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, we'll see.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe.

SPEAKER_05

Well, you say that and then you never do, so I don't believe you.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_05

You have to prove me wrong.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Here's a challenge.

SPEAKER_04

But y I also said I might do that. So I I'm I'm not saying I'm definitely gonna do that.

SPEAKER_05

Can I challenge you?

SPEAKER_04

You can try.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. I challenge you to do at least one of these. But then if chair, couch, or bed every day until next Thursday.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. But then you need to send me a list. I will send it to you. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah? Yeah. That's all. Yeah. That's it. You do one little exercise or workout per day. You choose which one until Thursday. Yeah. And then we will uh update the listeners on how it's going for you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_04

Alright.

SPEAKER_05

Is that all?

SPEAKER_04

I guess so.

What’s Ruining Our Lives

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Well, if we're all done here.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. As we reach the end of this episode, please tell me what is ruining your life.

SPEAKER_04

I need to think about that. Okay. I'm I'm guessing it's uh it is my lack of uh uh exercise and uh and my laziness. I'm uh I ha uh I have no one else to blame but me.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But uh that's how it is. So it's ruining my life and I should be better, but I'm not.

SPEAKER_05

Lack of activity. Yup.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You need to get motivated. Yeah. Bruh. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But we don't uh meet very often nowadays.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm busy. Yeah. I'm doing things.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. It's easier to when you have someone else to do it with, you know, go for walks and everything. Yeah. It's not as fun doing it by yourself.

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_04

So I'm gonna ask you, what's ruining your life?

SPEAKER_05

School.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

I think. I I feel like I'm not doing very good in the classes that I'm in right now. And it makes me kind of sad. Um one of them I knew was gonna be really hard. The other one was shockingly a lot harder than I expected.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, I uh I'm gonna say that.

SPEAKER_04

And I mean you even uh when you did a test, you got the wrong Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05

I guess that's also what's ruining my life is that I was supposed to I did take a math test earlier this week, and then after I finished the test, and I mean I haven't been studying that hard. No. I I've been skipping some pages in my book because I just one, I have zero interest, and two, I have zero time. So I've been like skimming through the pages and doing the problems that I want to do.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And so I wasn't that surprised when I was taking the test and I didn't really understand a lot of what I was doing, but I did my best. It was the test for the second chapter instead of the first one. Yeah, okay. So now I have to redo, or not even redo, I have to do the test that I was supposed to do.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I took the wrong test.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and it wasn't your fault.

SPEAKER_05

It wasn't my fault. Uh well, it was both of our faults, myself and the teacher, because neither of us read the paper that said it was for the second chapter. Oh, okay. Instead of the first. So yeah, that's that. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Are you all out of sips?

SPEAKER_04

Almost. Like half.

SPEAKER_05

Be out of sips.

SPEAKER_04

Um all out of sips, and that means we're all out of episode.

SPEAKER_04

Right? Did we learn anything today?

SPEAKER_04

I don't think so, really.

SPEAKER_05

I think we learned some fun ways to exercise without going to the gym.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and weren't doing much at all. And also how not to exercise.

SPEAKER_05

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Um and I wouldn't do that.

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_04

Anyway, so I thought the the ways not to exercise would be like being lazy, but that sounded more like that's too much.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it was the try-hard version of exercising, which in the end it doesn't work at all.

SPEAKER_01

No.
