00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So for fifty plus this week. It's my birthday.

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.759
<v Speaker 2>My birthday is coming up this week, and and I

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.560
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, there is.

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>That's all we gotta talk about. When I was a kid,

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>I used to sell candy.

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 2>We had Helen Graces, but we also had this one

7
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>called World's Finest Chocolate.

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>And you and I know you guys.

9
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't if you guys sold candy when you were

10
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>growing up, but it was like there was there was

11
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>like you had to sell like you get ten or

12
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty bars per box, and you had to sell them

13
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>for a dollar. Back then it was a dollar, and

14
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>you would they were towards something and it was funny.

15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I remember once I jumped for a zone and they

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>were like, you have to pay that back.

17
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>They're like three dollars a blocks hour.

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I was in a Chevron gas station, a Chevron

19
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>gas station, and I saw World's Finest Chocolate.

20
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like for a dollar, I'm like, what.

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I have not seen this since I was like in

22
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>high school, which was nineteen eighty seven. I've seen how

23
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the gracist is, but I never seen World's Finess. So

24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>here's what it looks like. This is the Christy one

25
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>this is the milk chocolate these used to sell. We

26
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>said one it was caramel to this thing. If you

27
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>remember this thing is tiny right now. In the old days,

28
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>it was this size, was one even bigger. I think

29
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 2>it was like a little longer and bigger. It was

30
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>this size made of one. Now it's two. It is

31
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>crazy how that went down. And I'm like, what happened,

32
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>World's finest? Why are they like this? I don't understand.

33
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>It was crazy talk. So I'm thinking of my just

34
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 2>thinking of my childhood and all the years I I

35
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>sold candy, and I'm just like the world has gone

36
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 2>crazy and it's gone crazy and candy. And no, it's

37
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>not that I thought that I was smaller. Out of

38
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the bars were bigger. The people back then, if you

39
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 2>were doing it, you were you were doing it. You

40
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>know how big things were. I just it's it's funny

41
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>because I think back at school. I was never fully

42
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>a school person. I mean I went to school, was practical.

43
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>School was school was that I knew I had to do.

44
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And I was popular in school, not because I tried

45
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>to be or anything. I just I was a friendly person.

46
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>I was called a group hoopper. I could go to

47
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>different groups. I could be with the rockers, I conna

48
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>be with the volleyball kids. I'd be with the smarties

49
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>and with the nerds. Like I just, I went just wherever.

50
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I was in Spanish club, I was in this guy,

51
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I was in drama with it.

52
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I know.

53
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I just I just moved around a lot, and I

54
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of friends. Always had a lot of friends.

55
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So I think, I just I'm just thinking back on

56
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>all that and and I there's sometimes I missed it

57
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit because life is getting harder now at

58
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>this age and other stuff, and I'm just like those

59
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>carefree days are having to worry about school and worry

60
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>about maybe a spelling beach championship or a soccer game

61
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>coming up. You know, we try to grow so fast,

62
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>and I had to grow up really fast because my

63
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>home situation and plus the gen X are we just were.

64
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>We were basically bor and grown and so I had

65
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>no choice. But I guess. So I look back at

66
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>my life as my birthday approaches, and not looking back

67
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>my life, I believe my twenties in some thirties I

68
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>made up for it. I did a lot.

69
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I did a lot of st I had a lot

70
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of fun.

71
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I will say that I was working hard, but I

72
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of fun and did a lot of

73
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>different things and had a good time. And I think

74
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I made up for some of those things. And I

75
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>mean even when I was a teenager. I mean I

76
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>had fun, but I was on a mission.

77
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I am now.

78
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm always on a Missionways want you something, I'm just

79
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>thinking back on. Wow, those are the days. There were

80
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>some good days. I think about it sometimes and things

81
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>like selling this chocolate. It just it just it takes

82
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>you back, and I don't know, just it's it's very interesting.

83
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>This one's peanut free and gluten free. Oh dang, So

84
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I why I share that as I'm getting ready to

85
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 2>turn fifty six or by the time you watch this,

86
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>roady fifty six, I could be year older already. Depends

87
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>on what when this comes, when you watch it, you

88
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>put it out on Tuesdays. It depends on when you're

89
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>watching it. I think you were watching I know. I

90
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>do this as a audio show, but occasionally do video

91
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>versions because I really wanted to show the the skinny things.

92
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll put them over here somewhere some later. hYP birthday

93
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to me.

94
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I missed the seventies and eighties sometimes actually it's ninety

95
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>sometimes too.

96
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>As you know, as a young adult, you know it

97
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 1>was hard too. It's hard.

98
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Life is there's something else. There's something else, you guys,

99
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>really is, and being fifty plus is something else also,

100
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's so profound. But I just sometimes you just

101
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>start words. It's it's it's about feelings. You anybody, you

102
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>feel it, And I'm glad I made it here, obviously,

103
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>but you have no ideas what you get here, what

104
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like. That's I guess the best way to say

105
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it to say, you just see this. It's it's a

106
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 2>different it's a different stage of life. It really is

107
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>than forties or thirties or twice, a different age your

108
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>life that you start to enter, you.

109
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Go into.

110
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And I know you'll go online, you'll scroll through the

111
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Instagram on Facebook and yeah, people will tell you, no,

112
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>it's not any different, No, it's not any of this.

113
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>No now now, no, oh my god, what's wrong?

114
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>You know? It's age. I think a number of stuff

115
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>and in some cases that's true, right, in some instances

116
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>that is just a number, and our person, I'm a

117
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 2>toll example of someone who has never been held back.

118
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I try whatever I want to try whenever I try it.

119
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 1>But I was saying that it's it.

120
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It looks and feels different these days physically and mentally,

121
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and you're handling different things now these days too.

122
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is there, So.
