cltruitt22: Well, see, my problem is it takes me probably 30 minutes to pick out apples.
its a me: Well, yeah, that's fair.
cltruitt22: Because I pick up every one and I look all around it, you know, and.
its a me: Yeah, because there's nothing worse than a mushy apple.
cltruitt22: Oh, gosh, no.
its a me: When you bite into an apple and it's mushy, ugh.
cltruitt22: Hmm. And that's why I don't eat. What are they? The golden delicious or whatever.

cltruitt22: yeah that's
its a me: You guys only have two grocery stores. It's bunkers.
cltruitt22: yeah And they're well they're also technically the same grocery store.
its a me: And one of those grocery stores is trash.
its a me: What?
cltruitt22: Yeah, there's something or no, no, I'm sorry. it's Giant, giant and food line are the same.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Acme is different.
its a me: No, I think Acme and Giant are the same.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Food Lion is separate. I think it's that way.
cltruitt22: I I don't know if there was something about they want to put a giant by like the old Kmart, and then they realize that they also own food lines and they're across the street, so they didn't want to put two grocery stores close to each other.
cltruitt22: I don't know.
its a me: Hm, we used to have a giant, and it became Acme.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: We used to have two giants, which also is owned by Acme.
cltruitt22: Yeah, we used to have a Safeway. We used to have a Super Fresh.
its a me: We have shopwrights, terrible.
cltruitt22: Hmm. Yeah.
its a me: They're trash.
cltruitt22: Hmm.

cltruitt22: Yeah. I mean, there was yesterday dropping her off. It was, oh, look, there's a Whole Foods. There's a Trader Joe's, you know.
its a me: Yeah, we've got a trader. doess The whole food's a little... I'm always... Oh, the whole food's a little far away. It's 15 minutes away from my house, so it's too far. ah that That's my problem in my life.
cltruitt22: Hmm, yeah.
its a me: I was telling my mother that, and she's like, do you realize I have to drive an hour and a half to get to one grocery store? I'm like, eh, well, if you live in the sticks. I don't know what to tell you.
cltruitt22: Yeah, but she just forages.
its a me: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.

cltruitt22: Yeah, Yeah, they actually um the place, the place by Burger King over off Mount Hermon Road.
its a me: That place is open.
cltruitt22: Gelato or whatever. Yeah, it is. And evidently they've got like they have the shells sitting there and they, ah you know, they pipe them right there for you.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I honestly would have told you that place was closed.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I've never seen anybody in there.
cltruitt22: i I thought it was closed as well. yeah And they have like sandwiches, like my wife got a crazy sandwich.

its a me: I see.
cltruitt22: So sort of leftover cannoli. Yeah.
its a me: You know what you guys don't have? That you need. And when you retire, you should open a real donut shop.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Allegedly, there's a was it the duck doughnuts or whatever is coming, but I don't know.
its a me: We had a duck donuts. I didn't like it.
cltruitt22: Yeah, well, we had the fraction.
its a me: It's the same as a fractured prune. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah, we had one of those.
its a me: It's ah terrible. Here's what donuts should be. I don't drink coffee, but the place should smell of black coffee. It should be a good glazed donut, a nice jelly donut, and maybe some bear claws and other crap. But none of this dipping your donut in, you know, fruity pebbles and bullshit.
its a me: And Fractured Prune and Duck all use cake donuts, which are subpar donuts at best. I don't get in there to get cake. I get in there to get a nice fluffy glaze.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah, it should be fluffy and airy.
its a me: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Like a nice crawler. Mm hmm.
its a me: Yeah. Nice oh a nice crawler, a French crawler. Delicious.
cltruitt22: to
its a me: And I just want it to be, I just want that in my donut shop.
cltruitt22: Well, we have the Krispy Kreme factory on the north end of town.
its a me: That's fair. You do have a Krispy Kreme.
cltruitt22: Their donuts are horrible.
its a me: Uh, they're, you know, they're not the best.
cltruitt22: They're snot rockets. They're just slimy. yeah
its a me: Yeah. Yeah. And I don't need to go to speed, you know, for personal reasons.
cltruitt22: yeah Oh, yeah.

cltruitt22: There's people right now going, wait, what's what's in the Dunkin Donuts?
its a me: Yeah.
its a me: I don't want to know.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Remember Dunkin' Donuts had... it Yeah, it's time to make the donuts guy. Delightful commercials.
its a me: Oh, we lost Chris.
cltruitt22: Now you say time to make the donuts and people are like, what?
its a me: I've completely lost Chris. We got nothing.
cltruitt22: What?

cltruitt22: What?
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah, see, that's sad.
its a me: They don't do that anymore. Which is weird. It is sad.
cltruitt22: Hmm.
its a me: And probably more hygienic.
its a me: Yeah, the... Donut place.
its a me: The letting 14 year olds be in charge of a donut place was a problem.
cltruitt22: wait
cltruitt22: yeah We do have a good bagel shop.
its a me: You have a great bagel shop. Not the best bagels, but they're a good bagel shop.
cltruitt22: Yeah.

its a me: Perfectly good bagel shop. This really should be the name, I guess.
cltruitt22: Perfectly adequate bagels.
its a me: perfectly adequate bagels. They're not amazing bagels.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You know, they're not.
cltruitt22: Well, I think part of it it, I think it's because Salisbury's water. I think that has a lot to do with it.
its a me: Yeah. I'm sure it does.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: So you have a good pizza shop. You have probably one of the best pizza shops in a hundred miles.
cltruitt22: DPH rows.
its a me: I would. Oh yeah. Beatrice.

its a me: That's my,
its a me: Yes.
cltruitt22: Because they have a little drive through and yeah. But again, I i mean, I i like my balance, but I think part of the problem is they've got chicken tenders and french fries, all these other things.

cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: So it's a mushroom soup, cream of mushroom.
its a me: There's no cream.
cltruitt22: Oh.
its a me: but Oh, I'm talking more like a Maryland crab soup.
cltruitt22: Oh, OK. OK. All right.
its a me: Which is the better crab soup than cream of crab. I like cream of crab, but Maryland crab is better.
cltruitt22: It's just so heavy.
its a me: It's so heavy. It's so gloopy too, like the gloopiness sometimes.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: We went to some new restaurant in Berlin like last month or something. I was like, you know what? I'll try their crab cake. It was like they took a scoop of crab dip and then breaded it.
cltruitt22: deep fried it.
its a me: Ugh.
cltruitt22: Yeah, it was not good.
its a me: I will say, for the state that loves crab so much, I mean it's on everything you frickin' do, you guys make terrible crab cakes in all all your restaurants.
cltruitt22: No.
its a me: I don't...
cltruitt22: But it's because they're trying to mass produce them.
its a me: I don't...
cltruitt22: You've got to find some little old lady to make a crab cake for you. That's it.
its a me: Yeah, that that's fair. But every crab cake I think I've ever bought in a restaurant sucks. Like they usually use, they put bell pepper in their crab cakes.
cltruitt22: what what what now yeah that it's now no ew no yeah lump back fin done
its a me: I don't know. You ever seen that where it's like, yeah, it's no bueno or they use claw meat. No, it's gross.
its a me: gros You gotta have nice lump crab crackers, hot sauce. Yep. Crackers, butter, hot sauce.
its a me: Boom.
its a me: That's all you do. And then obey or JO or whatever weird seasoning you always use.
cltruitt22: yeah
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I mean, it is your steep dish. I'm assuming it's
cltruitt22: I and don't know. Is it Maryland state dish?
its a me: gotta be.
cltruitt22: Is there a state dish?
its a me: Yeah, sure there's a state everything. I mean Delaware just has a straight state cocktail that wasn't invented in Delaware. I don't understand why we did that.
cltruitt22: It just says crab.
its a me: The state is just crap.
cltruitt22: What is the state food of Maryland? Crab.
its a me: I mean Delaware.
cltruitt22: Blue crab encrusted with old bay seasoning. Yeah.
its a me: It's fair.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I mean.
cltruitt22: Hmm.
its a me: We do like crabs.
its a me: Though I would really say you should be known for oysters more, but you know.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: The oysters out of the bay are probably some of the best in the country.
cltruitt22: Delaware is known for peach pie.
its a me: Yeah, Delaware used to be like the peach producing state of the country.
cltruitt22: Hmm.
its a me: Yeah, apparently like all of Sussex counties would be orchards.
cltruitt22: Hmm. I mean.
cltruitt22: Hmm. I mean, all the people that, you know, like, oh, you know, crabs, crabs, crabs, you know, a lot of times you're eating Georgia crabs or North Carolina crabs.
its a me: Yeah, a lot of it was like Louisiana and Gulf crabs.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: yeah Especially because you can't, you know, get barely grabs much anymore.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: um ah You know, crab's good.
cltruitt22: Yeah. It's just a lot of work.
its a me: It's so much work. It's not worth the work.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. No, we don't know. It's like, oh, yeah, we need to plan.
its a me: yeah
cltruitt22: It's like the problem is you plan like, OK, we're going to go get we're going to get crabs, you know, in a couple weeks. You gotta be in the mood for it. That might not be in the mood for it in a couple weeks.
its a me: Right. Yeah. My, my mother came up to visit my brother, which we've already, you and I have already talked about, but whatever. And they, they, he was like, we ordered crabs. I'm like, Oh, cool. You guys have crabs. And he's like, no, we ordered crabs. We're getting them four days from now. I'm like, what world?
its a me: ah It's crab day.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: so
cltruitt22: yeah Oh, God. Yeah. And you got to time it out so the garbage is taken away like that night or the next day because.
its a me: Absolutely. You cannot leave that crap sitting in your garbage.
cltruitt22: Oh, God.
its a me: oh
cltruitt22: Well, we have animals at work that'll same thing like the pizza. They'll bring in a bag of crabs and eat them cold.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: I'm like, what, what, what?
its a me: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: No.
its a me: You got it. You got to find your weird weird friend that will just sit there and pick crabs all day and put them in a tub for you.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Exactly.
its a me: And you say, I'm going to buy the crabs. You can eat as much crabs as you want, but you need to pick all these crabs and put them in the tub and we're done.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah, I just know or you go to the seafood shop and you buy a pound of crab meat.
its a me: yeah
its a me: You can also do that at $70 a pound.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
its a me: It's crazy.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Well, we've, uh, really ranted, got off the rails and whatever we were talking about.
cltruitt22: Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. We went from fall apples to k crabs.
its a me: but
its a me: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah,
its a me: Well, topic one, if someone comes to you tomorrow and says, I'm going to give you a pill and you never have to exercise again.
cltruitt22: yeah topic one.
its a me: Do you take that pill?
cltruitt22: what's What's the monkey's paw attached?
its a me: Well, there's none.
cltruitt22: There's none?
its a me: You don't have to exercise. No accident. We've invented a pill that simulates your body and you don't have to exercise anymore.
its a me: Do you think? that
cltruitt22: I don't think so.
its a me: i I agree. I was thinking about this because in theory it's possible, right?
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Like we could, we could come, like we are.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Close enough to the point where I think we're going to solve weight loss through medicine.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: If we haven't are really ready with as I'm picking all this up, but we're getting there, right?
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: And we might actually come to a point where we just have a pill. You don't have to exercise anymore. I don't think I would do it.
cltruitt22: Yeah, I mean, the endorphins you get and the sense of accomplishment.
its a me: Just, well, I was to say the, the mental part of it that I get out of it, but also like, I don't, I wouldn't feel like I earned it.
cltruitt22: yeah
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: And that seems dumb because the whole idea came to me because of like the weight loss drugs, right?
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Right. right
its a me: Like I've gone through, I'm obviously a bigger person. I've lost weight, gained weight, lost weight, gained weight all my life. And, um, I was always like, I wouldn't take, I'm not taking weight loss drugs.
its a me: I'm not going to take goes on bickering that crap because I wouldn't feel like I earned it.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: But do you need to earn it?
cltruitt22: See, I think there's student it's because there's two different kinds of people. There's the people that, you know, they want the instant gratification with as little input as possible. And then there's the people that like to work for something. They like that. You know, I see what my efforts have produced kind of thing.
its a me: Yeah, that's fair.
cltruitt22: Hmm. I think the hard part, especially like working out and things like that is It takes a while for those results to show.
cltruitt22: boom And it's, you know, you've for good, bad or indifferent, you know, worked on your current physique for, you know, whatever, 15, 20 years.
its a me: oh
cltruitt22: I mean, you're not going to see an immediate change in a week. No.
its a me: Well, just think about the amount of time. So I'm going to take me um and I think I know I'm an outlier. I spend.
its a me: I conservatively 20 hours a week. At least. Working out.
cltruitt22: Okay, yep.
its a me: Right, if I could take a pill and get a whole day back.
cltruitt22: Yeah,
its a me: ah yeah A week. Isn't that a something though?
cltruitt22: yeah I guess it is.
its a me: You know, like I'm, when we get done this recording, I'm going to go up to the gym. I'm going to spend a good 50 to an hour, 30 weightlifting. And then I'm going to come back and do cardio for another hour or so, but I could have just taken a pill and gain those benefits.
its a me: Man, that seems like something.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. i ah I I think I'd rather have the chip or whatever that tells me. What I need, what I don't need kind of thing.
its a me: That, man, ah so I'm working with a nutritionist now and every time I talk to her, I'm like, I wish I had a chip. I wish I had a chip that said, this is what you need, not this.
cltruitt22: Right.
its a me: You're, you're taking too much of this protein and you need to take this, you know, something like, cause I feel like we're just stabbing in the dark and trying to try things.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
its a me: You know, she's got me eating cheese.
cltruitt22: Yeah, that chip that reads me and says, OK, hey, your glucose is a little low. Try X, Y, or Z. Yeah.
its a me: Yeah, that's that's what I want.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I thought I told her. This is a side damage to all this, but I told her. I'm a kind of person that I just want you to tell me eat this.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Like if you just tell me eat this three times a day for the next three weeks, I'll do that.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Just tell me, you know.
cltruitt22: Yeah. I will eat like a dog, you know, the same meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
its a me: Right.
cltruitt22: That's yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Just tell me what to do.
its a me: Yeah, that's what I want out of her. And it's what I would want out of a chip. I would want a chip like, Hey, you're now, you know, your glucose to me levels low.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You need to eat now to get it back.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: You know.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Or it's like, I mean, and we've talked about this before, like, you know, the Garmin, I look, I'm like, oh, it's bumped up my water intake for the day because I've worked out more or something like that. You know, I I wanted to go to like, I drink the water and it automatically calculates it.
cltruitt22: I don't have to punch it in and do all that.
its a me: Right, yes.
cltruitt22: and Yeah.
its a me: Well, it's it's like everything I read about calorie counting says the calorie counting is bullshit, right?
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Because calorie, first off, I'm not a fire. So I'm not burning donuts to see how the calories actually raise the temperature of water.
cltruitt22: Right. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: I would love to have real data saying, this is how many calories you're actually eating. Because the nutritionist and I were talking about it, she's like, oh, labels only have to be within like 30 % or something like that.
cltruitt22: yeah Mm hmm.
its a me: ah Even like, do you have no idea what you're actually eating?
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: you know I weigh out everything. She's like, you don't have to weigh everything out. I'm like, well, how am I going to know? She's like, well, because you're not going to either know it either way. I'm like, that's not what I want to hear.
cltruitt22: ah
its a me: I want someone saying, this is what you took in, this is what you took out and go.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Yeah, that's what I want.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: But.
cltruitt22: Yeah. And it proved to factor in things like, oh, you you weren't feeling great today. You know, you had a cold or the flu or something like that. Let's adjust it this way.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Hey, you did a lot of work today. you know Let's bump up your protein and your you carbs at lunch and your water intake overall. and Yeah.
its a me: I really just want to push a button and say, my Garmin says I need to eat pellet B. Give me pellet B.
cltruitt22: yeah Yes. Yes.
its a me: That's what I want. I mean, I don't think I would do the exercise pill because I want the mental side of working out.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Like I enjoy the zoning out and I enjoy the
cltruitt22: Mm hmm.
its a me: Like I don't think about anything for an hour. Because I pick up this heavy weight, put heavy weight down.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Right?
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: So that's nice. I want that part.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I don't think I want... I want somebody to sell me. Eat pellet B, because it's time. That's what I want.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you can say I'm a hamster in a cage, whatever.
its a me: Right? Yeah. Well, it's, it's, we all think we're supposed to be eating.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: So, you know, I hear it all the time. Like, well, that's boring. Food's not supposed to be exciting.
cltruitt22: I mean, for some people, I mean, I guess the foodies or whatever, but and that's their thing. But yeah, i I mean, I. Monday through Friday, breakfast every morning is a cup of Cheerios.
its a me: Yeah. I eat oatmeal every day.
cltruitt22: Yeah, I eat.
its a me: Perfect.
cltruitt22: a dry cup of Cheerios on the way to work Monday through Friday.
its a me: Ooh. A dry cup of Cheerios?
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: That sounds
cltruitt22: Yeah. I just put it, I put it in a cup and I just yeah like a horse dump it in. Yeah.
cltruitt22: No, it's great.
its a me: Okay.
cltruitt22: Every morning. Yeah. Yeah. That's like people are like, they'll bring donuts into work. I'm like, I already have my Cheerios. I'm good.
its a me: Yeah. Yeah, we have a paramedic on D -shift who gets mad at me. because he will cook these elaborate breakfasts every day.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah, yeah, I went to secretly test his A1C.
its a me: And I'm like, not that I don't want to eat your food, because I think it looks great. I can't eat like that.
its a me: Oh, yeah. like I don't want to know the answer to that question.
cltruitt22: Yeah, gosh.
its a me: his But I just like he eats. And from what he says, he eats like that every day. And I'm like, man, I can't eat sausage gravy and scrapple and eggs every day.
cltruitt22: Oh, my gosh.
cltruitt22: Golly dang.
its a me: I have to eat my oatmeal in the morning.
cltruitt22: He's...
cltruitt22: He's also, what, 22?
its a me: Uh, it's pretty young. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Yeah. But take that habit it now and say 20 years from now when you're 40 and you're going, Oh my God.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You know, this is going to be rough.
cltruitt22: Yeah, it is. Yeah. That's the other thing. Yeah, it'd be nice to have that ship to show. Hey, your metabolism is slowing down. Let's you know swap some things around.
its a me: Yes.
cltruitt22: And I tell you another thing that a lot of our coworkers need to realize is that they need a different probably a little bit more amount of fiber.
its a me: Hey, that's just to sound like my day in nutritionist.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Well, I was talking to a dietician, I think that's what she is. But at one of the conferences I was at and she was like, yeah. And the problem is, you know, tell people like, hey, you should be eating whatever, 20 grams of fiber a day.
its a me: I'm on 30 to 38 is what she said for my age and height and weight.
cltruitt22: OK. OK. I think she this girl is doing look at generalization, but still she was like, the problem is I tell that to a group of firefighters. What do firefighters do?
cltruitt22: You tell a bunch of people, you know, hey, look, you need to be 20 to 25 grams of fiber a day.
its a me: eat seventy
cltruitt22: Well, yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, the next day they're going to immediately go, you know, take in all that fiber and then what's going to happen? They're going to have tum tum problems for a while.
its a me: Yeah, you
cltruitt22: You got to ease into it. So.
its a me: my nutritionist, she made me track for a week. And she's like, well, one of your biggest problems is you're not eating enough fiber. And I eat oatmeal almost every day, which I thought I had fibers.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: She's like, well, it is, but it's not enough.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: So I have to add to two, two tablespoons of chia seeds to mine oatmeal.
cltruitt22: OK.
its a me: It's fine. It doesn't taste so amazing, but it's fine.
cltruitt22: I like chia seeds, they're delightful.
its a me: It's
its a me: They're not delightful, they taste like nothing.
cltruitt22: But yeah, but I mean, oh gosh, nice chia pudding.
its a me: I don't know what that is.
cltruitt22: Oh, you take like, you take chia seeds and it's like coconut milk. and you let it set overnight, and it turns into this like pudding.
cltruitt22: There's other stuff you put in it, I'm sure. But it's like something with the seeds that they release into the milk, and yeah it makes like a pudding -like consistencyency consistency.
its a me: Hmm.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah. Put a little bit of granola over that. Yeah.
its a me: Well, apparently that's where you get your fiber from, GSEs.
cltruitt22: Well, I think the other thing is that just front -loading your fiber all in the morning or something like that, I guess you got should spread it out throughout the day.
its a me: Well, probably, I guess she, you know, but it's easy.
cltruitt22: yeah but
its a me: Chia seeds, oatmeal, BAM. Well, and that's, that's like ah her brain versus my brain. We're tired of this talk and she's like, yeah, you need to eat more fibers. Chia seeds are really good to eat chia seeds, but here's like the 17 other things you could eat.
its a me: I'm like, no, I'm just going to eat. You told me chia seeds are good. I'm going to eat chia seed.
cltruitt22: ah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Like, that's all you got to tell me. The gold standard is pia seeds, eat chia seeds. Okay. My brain checks.
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: Chia seeds.
cltruitt22: Yeah. All right. Yeah, I have gone to Sam's and bought a 50 pound bag of chia seeds.
its a me: i Yeah.
cltruitt22: I'm set. I'm set for a week.
its a me: She's like, that seems like a lot of chia seeds. It's just eating chia seeds.
cltruitt22: Yeah, it does.
its a me: Beautiful.
cltruitt22: Yeah, it's those you hear that one thing and it's like, oh, yes, that's what I have to do. OK.
its a me: Right conversation over. We don't have to continue.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: Let's see, like, oh, almonds have, and I'm like, man and we we already passed this.
cltruitt22: No, yeah, yeah.
its a me: You said eat more fiber. This is what you eat.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: Done.
cltruitt22: Wait, are there chia seeds inside the almonds? No. Well, then why would I eat almonds?
its a me: Exactly. I can eat a B tier, a nut.
cltruitt22: Yeah. yeah
its a me: Eat the S tier chia seeds.
cltruitt22: No.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Once I got told my wife, I drink more water at work than I do at home.
cltruitt22: And I think it's because of the container I use because it at work.
its a me: a
its a me: yeah
cltruitt22: I've got that 40 ounce. My daughter calls it a manly Stanley, fake Stanley, whatever thing that after I drink my coffee in the morning, I drink at least two of those a day at work.
cltruitt22: I mean, that's 80 ounces of water.
its a me: That's a lot of water.
cltruitt22: It is well, yeah.
its a me: I constantly drink.
cltruitt22: but But I definitely notice the days that I don't drink water like that. I'm like, oh, I got a headache.
its a me: Well, yeah, I have noticed that. ah But I constantly drink water. I'm crazy. I think I have a problem.
cltruitt22: i just I need to be better at home about getting just a mug or something. I've got that horn. I'll just start carrying that around all day.
its a me: Fucking horn full of water.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: That's not the worst idea.
cltruitt22: What's it? I talked to like ah my mother. She's a maniac. I'm like, how much water did you drink today? She's like, uh, like a bottle and a half. I was like, so you've had like, I'll give you the upside of it. 24 ounces of water today. Not healthy.
its a me: I know you need way more water for you. Just for your kidneys to function.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: All for the rest of the stuff. Just your kidneys need water.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: And you need to do it all day. Not just, Oh, I drank a gallon of water and eight o 'clock in the morning.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: I'm good for the day. That's not how it worked.
cltruitt22: Yeah, you're not. Yeah, you don't just tank up and then you're good. ah Although there are days I think that would be great.
its a me: That would be nice of you.
its a me: I said, it would be nice if that's what I could do at work and I could just drink a gallon of water and be good for like the whole 24 hours.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Drink a gallon of water, eat pill B. Done.
its a me: Yeah. Wow. And in the summer, are we supposed to pre -hydrate and all that crap?
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: Cause I was, my buddy was talking about that. I'm like, dude, you realize what you're drinking water now? Cause he's like, Oh, I'll drink water after I work out. I'm like, you're already dehydrated by the time you're done working out and
cltruitt22: Yeah, yep.
its a me: You're just drinking to rehydrate for later, not for what you just put out of your body.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You need to drink before you work out, and during you work out.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: But that's...
cltruitt22: And probably take some electrolytes in, too, so your body can process that water the right way.
its a me: Yeah, but Gatorade sucks.
cltruitt22: Yeah, maybe there's other things. There's liquid IV and I just get a salt lick.
its a me: I've not tried the liquid ivy yet. Have you had it?
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: does Does it make you feel better?
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. like Well, so it was a few weeks ago I messaged you and I was an idiot. I gave blood that morning and then came home and cut grass and it was like 90 degrees outside and I felt like shit.
cltruitt22: So yeah, I drink with those liquid IVs. I felt much better afterward.
its a me: That does make sense.
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: I have not tried them, but that's because I also feel like I have to do a really good job of hydrating with just water.
cltruitt22: Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, when you pre hydrate and, you know, hydrate through.
its a me: Water.
cltruitt22: But yeah, every now and again, you need that extra little bump. I mean, Gatorade, we get the G2 or something, the stuff that's like half the sugars and all that, because ah some of people that just like drink a full Gatorade all the time.
cltruitt22: Oh.
its a me: Well, even... Even when I took a hydration class, which is weird to say, I took a hydration class years and years ago. They were like, you should never drink Gatorade out of the bottle. You should take it, dump half of it out to the water, then drink that bottle because that stuff is concentrated sugar.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: That's all it is.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah. yeah
its a me: Which I'm sure the sugar helps some with, with hydration, you know, I'm an osmotic scientist, but I'm assuming the sugar helps with all of those things.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Right. But again, if I had that chip in me, it would say, OK, you need, you know, three quarters of this bottle of Gatorade and then, you know, X amount of water on top of it or whatever.
its a me: Yeah, that would be nice.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Get that alert on your phone. oh You're running low on manganese.
its a me: Yeah, I mean, we do it for diabetics now.
cltruitt22: And I... Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: The technology can't be that much harder, right?
cltruitt22: No.
cltruitt22: No.
cltruitt22: And, folks, that you're if you have all these vitamins and supplements and everything, I kind of say a lot of them. You're just making really expensive pee.
its a me: Yeah, I hear that and I still take a multivitamin.
cltruitt22: I think multivitamins are right. But it's, you know, you see these people take a multivitamin and, you know, take a B12 and magnesium and this and this and this.
cltruitt22: It's like, do you know how much that your body actually uses?
cltruitt22: But I don't know.
its a me: Well, I think it's more about how you process it, right? Like your body doesn't process.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: magnese for like ah It needs time to process that.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Right.
its a me: and
cltruitt22: So you're supposed to put it in your ear and it slowly absorbs.
its a me: Yeah, just like the the bug from Star Trek.
cltruitt22: Oh,
its a me: I am i take the multivitamin on the theory that
its a me: Maybe I didn't get X yesterday.
cltruitt22: oh yeah, yeah.
its a me: I feel like i ah for the cost and the damages, it's not doing any damage to me and it doesn't cost that much money that it might give me some little benefit.
cltruitt22: Right.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Oh, you know, I totally agree with that.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: But again, if we have these chips, when you wake up in the morning, you're like, ah based on yesterday's diet, you need, you know, here is your pill for the day.
its a me: yeah We should get on this.
cltruitt22: Oh, my gosh.
its a me: how do we How do we invent this?
cltruitt22: Yeah, I don't know.
its a me: How do bodies work?
cltruitt22: I don't know. There's people out there that are smart enough to do it.
its a me: I'm sure.
cltruitt22: you know There's the Kellys, the Justins, the people like that that can figure it out.
its a me: AI's got to be able to figure it out. I'll just type in AI. Invent this for me.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah. there There you go. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. God, chip me now. Oh, gosh, can you imagine if it said, I know this is a dream on top of all that, but to be able to say, okay, it to say, hey, you need, you know, seven hours and 52 minutes of sleep tonight.
its a me: Oh, yeah.
cltruitt22: And that you could punch in, you know, sleep from 10 to, you know, 558. Done.
its a me: Yeah, sleep.
cltruitt22: And not just randomly pray that I either sleep enough or not too much or not too little.
its a me: And now if you sleep too much, you feel worse than if you slept too little.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
its a me: I feel like the other day I slept until 8 30 in the morning.
cltruitt22: Oh my gosh.
its a me: I know, it was crazy. And I woke up, I was like groggy.
cltruitt22: Whoo.
its a me: And I was like, who what the fuck is wrong with my body?
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Oh yeah, it's gonna be long. Yeah. It took me so long to like get recovered.
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: Because I think it just, you get used to operating off of six -ish hours of sleep, right?
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: Six, seven and is usually mine my my number.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: And man, you sleep too long. It's like, whoosh.
cltruitt22: Yeah, according to Garmin, my average is seven hours and 10 minutes.
its a me: It's pretty good, right?
cltruitt22: Yeah. But evidently last night my sleep was poor.
its a me: I don't wear my watch at sleeping because I feel like it makes my sleep worse.
cltruitt22: yeah Yeah, it's because it says I had a very stressful day the day before and I slept long enough, but not well enough to bring my stress levels down overnight. You might feel feel higher stress or fatigue today.
its a me: You know what that means?
cltruitt22: Can't imagine why I was stressed out yesterday.
its a me: It means your garments telling you to take a nap.
cltruitt22: I see I can't take a nap.
its a me: What?
cltruitt22: It's so hard for me to take a nap now.
its a me: Naps are like I'm a pro napper.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You know, yeah, I'm in like I got a whole routine.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Now, I've heard it called the disco nap. Is that what you take?
its a me: This good nap.
cltruitt22: They call it a disco nap. I guess people back in the day that did disco, that's what they did. But yeah, it's that it's that perfect like 40 minute nap that you don't feel like crap when you get up.
cltruitt22: But it's yeah.
its a me: You've got to be careful with the nap too long and you're like, I've ruined my whole life.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. But I think so. Do you like sudden alarm?
its a me: I don't know.
cltruitt22: Yeah, see, that's Because I feel like I would be stressed out that I would sleep too long.
its a me: I don't.
cltruitt22: And then if I set an alarm, I'd be sitting there the whole time going, I'll fall asleep now. I'll get 38 minutes of sleep. If I fall asleep now, I'll get 35 minutes of sleep.
its a me: Yeah. Yeah. So don't an alarm. You just.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You get up in your bedroom, close the blinds, makes it nice and dark, get completely naked because that's how you sleep. Any other way of sleeping is an animal.
cltruitt22: Yeah, but the dog sleeps with me.
its a me: And then you, the dog sleeps above the covers.
cltruitt22: That's weird.
its a me: You sleep under the covers.
cltruitt22: No, my small dog, she burrows under the covers.
its a me: Well, I guess there is danger.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I got to contain myself.
its a me: But then, you know, you just, you just read a book. drift off to sleep and you you block yourself out and say, ah you know, four o 'clock I'm getting up.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Bam. And you get up to four.
cltruitt22: See, again, with a chip, wouldn't have to worry about this.
its a me: It's true. Well, get to inventing. That's what we need to work on.
cltruitt22: Get to inventing. Yeah.
its a me: How do you make chips?
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: Put it in. I mean, again, if we do it for diabetics, I feel like we should be able to use that technology to just, I mean, it's constantly monitoring their, their blood rate and cortisol and all that stuff's in your blood, which is a indicator of stress.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: You know, it would be like your cortisol level is very high.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: You need to take a 20 minute nap.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Yeah. That's my need.
cltruitt22: Or you need to drink a 20 ounce glass of ice cold water.
its a me: Don't tell the Europeans that.
cltruitt22: But are they big on the lukewarm water?
its a me: Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
cltruitt22: Well, I've heard it does hydrate you better, but. I think the cold water helps with that stress warm own. So.
its a me: And it's just better.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah, it tastes better.
its a me: Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather hydrate slightly less efficiently, but enjoy the experience rather than drinking tepid water.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
its a me: I think we've explored the chip. Move on to topic two.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Topic two.
cltruitt22: It's a side tangent really, but
cltruitt22: we're When we were like, I don't know, late elementary to early high school, were sleepovers just the best thing?
its a me: Okay.
its a me: Didn't really do sleepovers.
cltruitt22: Really?
its a me: No, I did a couple when I was in middle school.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: They were awesome.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: And sleep at all.
cltruitt22: No, no, no.
its a me: First time I ever saw the movie Highlander was in a sleepover.
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
its a me: Still love that movie to this day.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: I think it was the.
its a me: You want to have a sleepover?
cltruitt22: Sure.
its a me: All right, I'm in.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there was, you know, you were in somebody else's house or somebody else was at your house. So I know, like, if I had folks over at mine, then I knew the you know the rules were a little bit less strict and.
its a me: I want nothing more than three o 'clock in the morning for Sarah to come down the stairs and yell at us to stop giggling.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: She would.
its a me: That's all.
cltruitt22: Oh, my gosh.
its a me: and
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: That's what I want.
cltruitt22: Except the thing. Yeah. You stayed up late. You were playing your cash. I can remember um what was the James Bond Golden Eye?
its a me: What I am.
cltruitt22: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Playing that or, you know, Mario Kart or something. And you had pizza that just sat there till everybody ate it.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Did you bring a sleeping bag?
its a me: Hmm.
cltruitt22: I remember some houses, they were like, yeah, bring a sleeping bag.
its a me: I don't remember.
cltruitt22: And there were some that were like, nah, we got something.
its a me: I can give it. I only ever had sleepers at my buddy Bob's house. And I don't have the answer whether we had sleep bags or not.
cltruitt22: Hmm.
its a me: I assume we had them. I don't remember sleeping.
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: To be honest.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: her
cltruitt22: And it's the thing, like if it was two of you, you know, just over at a buddy's house or the buddy over yours, you know, it was a little bit different. But then there were sometimes like, you know, there was this big sleepovers that, you know, like a birthday party or something like that.
cltruitt22: And it's like, oh, yeah, you know, four or five guys are going to stay. And it's chaos.
its a me: for me the better example of that was the halo land parties we used to have where we literally run cables all through the house and sit there and yell at each other from multiple floors of the house my poor wife we did that even
cltruitt22: Oh, yeah, yeah.
cltruitt22: yeah and Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
its a me: I mean, probably the last one we did was in 2008. My poor wife has to listen to, I don't know, 20 maniacs yelling at each other.
cltruitt22: yeah
its a me: you know
cltruitt22: Yeah. You get to call the power company before like, Hey, we're gonna have a big drain on things.
its a me: But my house is like perfect for it too, because I got split levels, so we had that common yelling stairwell, but you're on two different, yeah so good.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it got me thinking about it.
its a me: and
cltruitt22: I mean, I think a sleepover is the only way to like at our age do a D and &D campaign.
its a me: Yeah, yeah, it's fair my buddy this is a side tangent but i'll perfectly on point of what you're trying to say my buddy was like he's into doing um Magic gathering cubes, which is a way to play magic gathering
cltruitt22: I mean, you'd be able to, you know, everybody gets together. You have to worry about driving home. You get comfy. Play till the first person falls asleep and then you make fun of them.
cltruitt22: Okay.
its a me: less annoying than normal. And, uh, he was like, Hey, would you be interested? And I was like, yeah, sure. We haven't hung out in a while too. And I don't come over and he's like, all right, here are the four days I'm available.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: And I was like, well, I'm available one of those four days. And then my wife was like, Hey, we need to do something this day.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I'm like, well, I'm available zero of those four days.
cltruitt22: Yep.
its a me: It's like, man, I can't even in a two month span can't even pick a day out of all this to hang out.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: But yeah, sleepover.
cltruitt22: What's that? I mean, I've got friends that want to play Destiny and they're like, yeah, we're going to hop on 10 p .m. Pacific. I'm like, well, I'm out.

its a me: 9 .15, the dog says it's time for bed. What are you talking about?
cltruitt22: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we get that look from the dog, like, why the hell aren't we upstairs?
its a me: Yeah. Yeah. The dog looks over and says, hey, Jackass is, um, hop to.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
cltruitt22: Which, side tangent about dogs. Did I tell you my little dog was, like, acting sick for a week?
its a me: No.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah, so it was okay it was it was like two days after that hellish Monday that D shift had.
its a me: Well, we lost them again.

cltruitt22: OK, yeah, so it was two days after that hellish Monday of D shifts.
its a me: Oh yeah, yep, yep, yep.
cltruitt22: We thought, yeah, so yeah get home and she's like. Acting like her tummy hurts and she's trembling, I'm like, oh, God, coming out She probably ate something. Next day, she's not trembling anymore, but still just not acting her normal. She's just kind of laid around for a few days, looked like it hurt her to pee. I was like, I'll take her to the vet. So I take her to the vet and I'm like, yeah, I'm going to do all this. So I was like, ye do the blood work. Do do whatever you got to do. Fix the dog. So the vet comes back. She's like, oh, yeah, blood works. you know Both panels were clear and this and that. yeah Her head to toe is really good.
cltruitt22: Her anal glands were full, and now that we express them, she's acting really good. So she's full of shit. That was her problem. Yeah, and she was like, yeah, some medium to small dogs.
cltruitt22: That's a big problem for them. I'm like, I guess. So Sarah's like, is this something we need to do? I was like, no, no, no. This is something we ask the groomer to do every month now.
its a me: Yeah, this is, for we pay someone to do this.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah.
its a me: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. I was like, yeah, yeah.
its a me: My, my dog had a burst anal gland. That was a fun.

cltruitt22: Why do, why do they still have, can we get them removed?
its a me: I don't, I don't know.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: I don't have an answer to that question.
cltruitt22: Yeah. I was like, and Sarah started to look up. She's like, well, her is internal or external. I was like, I don't know. And I don't want to find out.
its a me: which
cltruitt22: God.
its a me: That's too much information about my dog's asshole that I don't want.
cltruitt22: Yeah, yeah. She's like, well, it looks like you just squeeze. I was like, again, stop. I don't need to know this.
its a me: but
its a me: yeah Pay a professional for that.
cltruitt22: Hmm.
cltruitt22: Yeah.
its a me: oh
cltruitt22: So the one awkward thing with the sleepover is if you wake up before everybody else. Because then you're just kind of laying there like, what do I do?
its a me: yeah I mean it's not the same but I slept over a girlfriend's house in college one time got up wicked early like 5 30 in the morning and I was like and it's her parents house and I'm just like sitting there going huh
cltruitt22: Do I mosey around?
cltruitt22: Yeah. Yeah. Ooh.
its a me: Well, now what do I do?

its a me: Don't know who he was.
cltruitt22: no that's Yeah.
