That was not even intentional.

Speaker 2

I was like, okay in a while, but for my brother in law.

Speaker 1

But I was like, yeah, I need to get myself checked out, which I'm I'm excited about that. I don't have much to say this week, you know, I was talking to heart real with you guys. I usually have a theme I talk about it. I don't really I don't know that's the theme. I guess just that it's some weeks you get. I mean this is for any age. You get tired, You get tired, you get worn out. Right now, I just had some food deliver ex I have no food in my house. You go shopping and

it's really windy outside, and I'm on the couch. I'm literally thinking about trans interesting right now.

Speaker 1

As I'm recording this, I'm thinking about I'm thinking about transitioning to my band, my big comfortable bad getting under the covers, and I have some peach, cobber and tear on TV.

Speaker 2

And that's it.

Speaker 1

I laughed, because that is a fifty plus thing. I mean, yeah, some younger films to do it too, but just it's when you get older, your life just totally changes. I have a lot of younger friends. I have a lot of friends my age, and they can they get it. But I have a lot of younger friends, and I as long as I feel bad because that they're looking for these connections. It's not the same as it was when I was their age. It's not the same had I had a huge circle of friends and we were

always together. We were always busy, we were always doing stuff. I build had time to myself and I didn't mind. We party together, we work together. And my friends nowadays, who are those ages thirties and forties or even twenties, don't have that. If you Tella, I don't know. I'm just like, no, you don't, you don't, I don't have it. Really, they're looking for connections. I'm not trying to run the streets anymore.

Speaker 2

I could.

Speaker 1

I let people know I'm your friend, but I'm not that running the streets friend. I'm your friend who wants to go to dinner once in a while on lunury once in a while, or breakfast, that friend who will go to a musical with you once in a while, but I won't go all the time. It's one once in a while. I'll talk to you on the phone every day, talking text every day.

Speaker 2

I'm that guy.

Speaker 1

Anybody calls and I'm here, you want to stop by, I'm here. But yeah, I'm not the running streets guy anymore.

Speaker 2

I'm not going to the club. I'm not running the streets.

Speaker 1

I always pictured, well, I always wonder and tried to picture what my life were like in my fifties because I was a club guys out five nights a week. I would have I would never guess this. I like be in my garden. I like being at home. I like I would do a lot of walks because we had some good weather. I've been doing some walks on my own here and suburbia down here. Just like going into stores and seeing stuff and taking pictures. That's my life and I wouldn't change the thing. So I tell

people I'm sorry, I'm not but what that fraid? I wish I could be that friend for you, But those days are over. I partied for like forty years, not even joking, party for years.

Speaker 2

Oh my god.

Speaker 1

I have partied out every once in a blue moon, every once do I ever want to go out? But I can't even tell you. So I think the last part is not a club.

Speaker 2

I know, I can't. I can't even think about what a iselves in the club I have got here. Well, I don't know. Yeah, I'm tying they don't. I don't know. Hm. Anyway, I want to end it here.
