Have you ever found yourself in a yoga pose while alpacas curiously wander around you? Or spent half a day tracking down a simple ankle brace through a labyrinth of healthcare facilities? This episode takes you on both of these unexpected journeys, weaving together two seemingly unrelated experiences into a delightful conversation about life's quirky adventures.
When Robyn (our special guest and first-ever visitor to the studio) describes her experience at Coleman Valley Alpaca Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, you'll feel like you're right there on the mat. Picture this: beautiful rolling hills, restorative yoga poses, and fluffy alpacas cautiously investigating humans in downward dog. The teenage alpaca with its freshly-groomed, doodle-like appearance steals the show, acting as the confident leader of the skittish herd. You'll learn surprising facts about these camel family members – yes, they can spit! – and why they were more fascinated by parked cars than people doing yoga.
Then our conversation takes an unexpected turn as we dive into the absurd odyssey of acquiring a simple ankle brace. What begins at a podiatrist's office spirals into a comedy of errors involving multiple healthcare facilities, unhelpful staff, missing prescription dates, and ultimately a revelation: Dick's Sporting Goods has an entire section of exactly what was needed all along. The frustrating yet hilarious journey perfectly captures the needless complexity of our healthcare system and the simple solutions hiding in plain sight.
Through both stories, we explore our relationship with animals, wellness trends, healthcare hurdles, and finding humor in life's complications. Whether you're an animal lover, yoga enthusiast, or someone who's ever been caught in bureaucratic quicksand, this episode will have you nodding in recognition and laughing along with us.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Let's let her explain .
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Because yeah, I don't know that much about it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Guest in this studio, first one ever.
It's the famous Robin, mysister-in-law.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Hey Robin, hello, you're too kind.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So Marty just told us about the alpaca yoga.
Oh yeah, so I had too manyquestions and he was like I
can't explain it, let me just goget Robin.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
He did see a lot of pictures.
But, yeah, to experience it itwas, it was a true, uh,
experience and I will say that,um, I'll try to describe it for
you.
So when you just kind of vision, you know Tennessee countryside
, with a big barn and a nicelittle house, big hill, like all
you see is land, yeah.
It's crazy because you get offthe interstate probably five
miles before that and then allof a sudden you're just in
(03:29):
beautiful Tennessee countryside.
So that's amazing.
It was right outside ofFranklin.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Close to Berry Farms.
Really not far from that.
So yeah, so driving to it, Iwas just like man, this is
gorgeous, like I didn't evenrealize this was in her backyard
.
So when I get there I pull upand you know, this is the first
time they've actually done thisyoga class.
Shout out to Coleman ValleyAlpaca Farm.
They decided to try this outand it sounded really cool.
(03:57):
I have a really good friendthat is obsessed with alpacas
llamas anything in that familywith alpacas llamas anything in
that family, so she talked usinto going and I was like, sure,
why not?
I love yoga, I love animals,let's go.
So when we get there, you knowthey got all the mats set up.
They did all that for us.
(04:17):
And then this big, beautifuldog comes to greet us.
His name was Joe and he wasjust the biggest I guess
sheepdog look, I don't knowexactly what breed it was Just
comes over there and just thefriendliest thing, greeting us,
like at our mats you know, justhanging out.
Eventually, at one point he waslike sitting on a mat.
And it's just like he's readyto go.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, Like.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
OK, get some downward dog going.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, literally Kind of reminds me of Peter Pan,
exactly downward dog going.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, literally.
It kind of reminds me of PeterPan, exactly, exactly.
So I was like this is a greatbeginning.
So we had a great instructorthat kind of walked us through.
It was restorative yoga,because they did say that the
alpacas are very you knowfinicky, so if you do big
movement it might scare them andwe did see that, like when they
did eventually come closer tous.
(05:07):
You know, if you did somethingreally quick they would kind of
jump.
Yeah, a little skittish, alittle skittish, yes.
So you know, we started.
And then all of a sudden, oneof the owners comes out with the
feed and you just start seeingthe herd coming our way and you
kind of don't know what toexpect, because you're like,
okay, are they going to?
Like literally come and likestep on my mat?
(05:29):
I mean you think about goatyoga and I'm like, okay, those
things actually get on you andstuff.
Right, alpacas are big.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
They're heavy so they did give us feed to have on our
mats to try to lure them inbecause they were skittish.
There was one teenager, alpaca,that was the cutest thing that
had groomed it.
It looked like a doodle, likeits face was like no way so do
they do that with all of them,some of them I don't know if
(05:59):
it's just the certain types,because there were some that
were a little more wiry hair,yeah, but then there were some
that were more poofy and a lotmore hair like almost like a
sheep, like you needed to shearthem.
So this one had just gottensheared and it was just so cute,
the poofy face.
I think I showed you thepicture.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's the one I got the picture with.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But it was a teenager .
But it was abandoned by its momand it actually like lived
inside for a while when it wasyoung.
And so it was kind of theoutcast, like the other alpacas
looked at it like what's itgoing to do, but also see it as
like you haven't kind of come upwith us.
So you know so that alpaca wasactually pretty, you know,
(06:48):
confident and would come aroundus more and was kind of weaving
in and out from us and even kindof galloped.
It kind of made me nervous.
Oh yeah, you know it's lookingto charge over here.
Yeah, but it was really, reallycute and you could tell the
other alpacas were were gettingsome cues from this one, and so
it was the one that kind of cameand got a little bit closer to
us us, but the rest kind of justkind of circled us like the big
(07:08):
group of mats.
They just basically walkedaround us, not necessarily
through us, unless the owner was, you know, um coming through
with the feed and kind of likegetting them to yeah, if you had
feed?
Oh, they were definitely intothat okay, and it was
interesting because they onlykept the females, Like the males
, like when you get them mixed.
(07:29):
I guess, there's a differentdynamic.
And so they just had thefemales that were coming around
us.
We did see some males in thefence later, but they were super
sweet and it was just one ofthose things that you know you
felt like you were in a movie.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I didn't realize they were part of the camel family.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh, okay, okay.
So does that mean, they spit,they do?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I did not get spit on , thank goodness, oh my gosh.
But when I was taking a picturewith one, it kind of was clear
in its throat and I don't knowif it coughed, but I literally
thought it was about to spit atme and I kind of like darted
this way Um because our yogainstructor said she came out
before and got to meet them andget familiar Um she had done
(08:16):
this before in Atlanta, and soshe was like okay, well, you
know, I want to get to meet themand things like that.
So she came out and met theteenager one and it spit at her
and she like literally had tochange her clothes so my
goodness, yeah, yeah, come witha spare um yeah, thankfully
nobody got spit on okay, youknow they were pretty tame while
(08:38):
we were there, yeah, so um, butyeah, after so we we got done
with you.
It was funny, though, becauseyou know we're doing these
restorative you know, yoga,which are supposed to be calming
, and things which it was I meanit was a gorgeous day,
beautiful like just to take in,like close your eyes, take in
the birds, take in just natureyeah.
And so that was really loved it.
(09:00):
But of course then you hadpeople giggling because they're
like seeing the alpacas likearound them and trying to feed
them and stuff like that.
So it was.
It was definitely one of thosethings where you know you didn't
get probably as much yoga outof it as you did Right.
Visiting with the alpacas.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, so this is an alpaca farm in Franklin, but
that's the first yoga sessionthey did with the animals and it
was so popular it got sold thatthey're doing another one.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I believe it's next weekend.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I bet they'll be booked every weekend or as much
as they want to.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh yeah, I think they said.
I saw on their website.
I think they said five spotsleft, like yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh, my goodness, yeah , wow.
So did they have other animalson the farm besides alpacas?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They did so.
Did they have other animals onthe farm besides alpacas?
They did so.
I think they said they had somegoats.
I didn't see the goats.
But then they did have somemini ponies or mini horses
behind the gate.
That was really sweet and cute.
And then, when we got done withactual yoga, we walked over and
actually got to be closer tothe group of alpacas and feed
(10:06):
them, and, okay, how was thatit's so fun to feel like,
because I think they only havelike one set of teeth I can't
remember exactly but it justfeels like.
You just feel like they'relittle lips, you know grabbing
grabbing the food now with themale, like it was.
Oh, on the other side you felthis teeth, so I can see that
that was a little moreaggressive yes, um, but the
(10:26):
other ones, you know, they, theywould just kind of hang by you
if you go to pet it.
If you had food in your handyou could pet it, but if you
just went to pet it without thefood.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It still skittish you know, yeah, okay, kind of uh,
but they did stay together.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Definitely you know, a herding.
And the funny part was when wefirst started the yoga class to
lure them, like I said, with thefood, they were amazed by the
cars, Like they just went andlike we're checking out the cars
in the field.
Yeah, that's where they wantedto stay.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That is hilarious.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So they all ended up being by one car and the yoga
instructor was saying man,whoever has that blue car over
there, they're, they're reallydigging, digging your car right
now.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh my gosh um, so have you done goat yoga before?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I haven't.
I've seen the videos.
Yeah, but of course on yourback and stuff, right, yeah,
yeah, I don't know if I I don'tknow.
The one thing I would love tosee is when they do the whole
just fall over like play dead.
Yes, that's hilarious, it isfunny.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Or I've seen the people do like puppies, where
they just release a bunch ofpuppies and they climb all over
people and that's what ourfriend sent us videos of.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Next she wants to do.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh my, we totally have to do the puppy yoga next.
Speaker 3 (11:42):

Speaker 2 (14:52):
They make me nervous, yeah, yeah.
I need to go outside.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm nervous right now talking about it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, I would get injured in a heartbeat which,
speaking of injuries?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh gosh, what did you do?
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I looked it up, it was February 8th.
We did the father and son flagfootball thing.
We do it once a year.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That's your mistake, right there, right so.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm not a competitive person.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
What.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
When it comes to that , I kind of got competitive and
it was toward the end of it andI was like I told this kid
playing quarterback.
I was like, hey, I'm going torun over here, slam on brakes
like I was Maverick, you know,with a jet plane.
As soon as I did it.
I was like Al I remember likewhy did my foot try to come out
of the side of my shoe?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So it's just been kind of lingering, because you
know, once you hit, Three months, once you hit 45, injuries
don't really go away.
It's just you're going to kindof this is where.
I'm at now.
So I waited, waited, waited.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Like you should.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, Went to a place got an x-ray still in whatever
got an MRI, so I did all thethings.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So then I went to your podiatrist.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
First time at a podiatrist.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, god, your podiatrist first time at a
podiatrist.
Yeah, god bless him.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
He said it was like the tendon on the outside of the
ankle that connects to thecubode or whatever the bone in
the middle of the foot.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Whatever Right and that was different than your
other diagnoses, or I like thatword diagnoses.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yes, because the other people didn't find
anything.
Well, everywhere you go, theytalk confidently and kind of
fast and you're like that iswhat it is okay and you just
kind of like okay, great, takeit in now.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
so that wasn't the part, that wasn't the
interesting part of this trip.
So they said oh so we're justgoing to give you this, like
first of all.
He said we can give you asteroid shot.
And I was like well, I'm kindof, I'm like my sister, I'm kind
of squeamish.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You should get out some smelling salts right now.
So how?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
about.
I just take eight Advil a dayand till I die.
Let's talk about that brace youmentioned.
So he gave me an ankle brace.
So the girl comes in, throws onthe brace and then she goes
real fast.
She goes all right, you'regoing to figure eight at the
bottom, come up side, slap.
Then you're going to do this.
I was like okay.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Do you have a video that I can watch?
So I think I got it.
Oh Lord Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But then she takes the brace off and puts it back
in a box.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Uh-uh off and puts it back in a box.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I was like, okay, maybe she just wants me to do
it when I get home.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So then she hands me a piece of paper and says it's a
prescription, so you got to.
It's a the brace is prescribed,so here you go.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That one was for display only, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
What so?
I was like maybe it's the wrongsize, Right you?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
know I'm sure it's got to be multiple sizes.
Surely there's a reason.
Yeah, Multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So anyway, she said follow the yellow signs, go to
checkout.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Follow the yellow background.
Follow the yellow background.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Which I will say they had like seven signs within
like 52 feet.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It was very instructive.
So I get up to the window handthe girl the prescription.
Yeah, I said I just need to getthis.
The lady that told me where togo was on the other side of the
window.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
You go around like in a U andyou just end up on the other
side, so I hand it to her.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I said I need to get this.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's like service merchandise.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, so she goes.
Well, that would have beengreat if there was service or
they had merchandise.
So she goes oh, we don't dothat, you can go to one of these
three locations.
So it gives me a piece of paperwith three locations, right?
So, now I go to the car and Itype in all the locations.
One's 1.9 miles down the roadand I type in all the locations.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
One's 1.9 miles down the road.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
How hard can that be?
So I drive over to whatever itwas called.
It was like an old school.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like a compounding pharmacy.
Yeah, it looked like a CVS from1971.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They had rascals, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, Is the pharmacist up a couple steps
kind of higher than you?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, I was the only person in there under 80 and
then I went.
I go to the counter.
I was like hey, just need topick this up.
Lady was super nice.
She goes that man over therebehind that desk he's got all
the answers, okay.
So then I take my piece of paper, I go to that guy and he goes
well, we got them, but uh,insurance doesn't cover them
(19:30):
here.
So I don't know.
I've never had a brace or acast.
I'm like they're probably goingto charge like 500 you know, I
thought it'd be somethingastronomical.
Yeah well, I just panic and golike, okay, and he goes no, if
you go to hanger hangar clinic,that was another location on
there.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You can get one there , they'll cover it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, appreciate it, get my car, put it in the hangar
clinic.
That's like two miles down theroad.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Drive there.
Sorry, this is a long,drawn-out process Drive there.
Uh-huh, another parking deckAlmost went down a one-way
(20:27):
street the wrong way multipletimes.
I am not happy.
There's multiple words beingthrown around.
So I park in the parking deckand then I go in a building.
Looks like a hospital, likethey all do, and got to figure
out where that is.
That's on level two, if you'rewondering, suite 250.
So I walk in there.
I see a girl behind a window.
There's no line.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
She looks like she doesn't want to help.
So I go right up to her.
I was like, hey, I need to pickthis up.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah and she goes.
Do you have an appointment?
I was like I had one earlierwith the doctor.
I said, no, I just need to getthis brace.
Yeah, doctor.
I said no, I just need to getthis brace, yeah, and she goes
well um I knew right then it wasa problem, like there was a
side.
Yeah, she was like I and I hearda word I never heard she goes
well.
I don't know without aappointment if we're gonna have
a clinician available I'd neverheard clinician oh really,
(21:06):
anyway, is it a brace fitter.
Whatever.
So I was like um, okay, shegoes, I'll go check on it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Great.
Could you check on theclinician and the brace?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
both of them you could just throw it from the
closet, I'll pick it up off theground.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Somebody already showed me how to do the figure
eight, so I think I can stillremember.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So I sit down and then she calls me back up.
I was like, well, I was fast.
She goes hey, we got them, butwe're not going to be able to
fill it because they left thedate empty.
There's no date on theprescription, so it's not valid.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I said it's from today.
I said I just can't.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She was not going to help.
No, she was not gonna help.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, she was not gonna help I was like she wasn't
gonna fudge the date on there oranything.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So I was like I was like meanwhile I'd been on my
phone.
I was like I told her.
I said you know what?
I'll just order one off Amazon,it's fine.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah.

Pretty much yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, which.
If you're Gen X, you know whatthat movie is which.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Falling Down would have been less painful.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Than just popping the dent.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Throughout that whole process you get to the point of
you know I'd rather just be inpain than just go through all
this.
But I started thinking I waslike what if you're in a
wheelchair?
Or like what if I was oncrutches?
Or like had a serious injury,and they're like, hey, just
drive over here.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know it's not helpful.

But the brand I got, the brand that Dick's Sporting
Goods has is called ShockedShock Doctor, which I was

It's just like a farm.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Watch where you put your mat.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We're going to have to clean a place off.
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
My brain is in a knot right now.
Wait what.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, well, it's like yoga, but then there's animals,
and those animals are alpacas.
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
They're not a giraffe , but they got a long neck.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, which are kind of like a.
They look like a I'm trying tothink what an alpaca looks like.
Kind of like a llama had a babywith a.
It's like a llama doodle.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
They kind of look, they're all like primped yes, do
they groom them, are they?
I don't know if they groom.
You know what I should do?
I should?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I should get an expert.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh yeah, I can go get Robin, Is she here?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, I think she's in.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Studio B Let me go.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Let's let her explain .
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Because yeah, I don't know that much about it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Guest in this studio, first one ever.
It's the famous Robin, mysister-in-law.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Hey Robin, hello, you're too kind.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So Marty just told us about the alpaca yoga.
Oh yeah, so I had too manyquestions and he was like I
can't explain it, let me just goget Robin.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
He did see a lot of pictures.
But, yeah, to experience it itwas, it was a true, uh,
experience and I will say that,um, I'll try to describe it for
you.
So when you just kind of vision, you know Tennessee countryside
, with a big barn and a nicelittle house, big hill, like all
you see is land, yeah.
It's crazy because you get offthe interstate probably five
miles before that and then allof a sudden you're just in
(03:29):
beautiful Tennessee countryside.
So that's amazing.
It was right outside ofFranklin.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Close to Berry Farms.
Really not far from that.
So yeah, so driving to it, Iwas just like man, this is
gorgeous, like I didn't evenrealize this was in her backyard
.
So when I get there I pull upand you know, this is the first
time they've actually done thisyoga class.
Shout out to Coleman ValleyAlpaca Farm.
They decided to try this outand it sounded really cool.
(03:57):
I have a really good friendthat is obsessed with alpacas
llamas anything in that familywith alpacas llamas anything in
that family, so she talked usinto going and I was like, sure,
why not?
I love yoga, I love animals,let's go.
So when we get there, you knowthey got all the mats set up.
They did all that for us.
(04:17):
And then this big, beautifuldog comes to greet us.
His name was Joe and he wasjust the biggest I guess
sheepdog look, I don't knowexactly what breed it was Just
comes over there and just thefriendliest thing, greeting us,
like at our mats you know, justhanging out.
Eventually, at one point he waslike sitting on a mat.
And it's just like he's readyto go.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, Like.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
OK, get some downward dog going.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, literally Kind of reminds me of Peter Pan,
exactly downward dog going.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, literally.
It kind of reminds me of PeterPan, exactly, exactly.
So I was like this is a greatbeginning.
So we had a great instructorthat kind of walked us through.
It was restorative yoga,because they did say that the
alpacas are very you knowfinicky, so if you do big
movement it might scare them andwe did see that, like when they
did eventually come closer tous.
(05:07):
You know, if you did somethingreally quick they would kind of
jump.
Yeah, a little skittish, alittle skittish, yes.
So you know, we started.
And then all of a sudden, oneof the owners comes out with the
feed and you just start seeingthe herd coming our way and you
kind of don't know what toexpect, because you're like,
okay, are they going to?
Like literally come and likestep on my mat?
(05:29):
I mean you think about goatyoga and I'm like, okay, those
things actually get on you andstuff.
Right, alpacas are big.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
They're heavy so they did give us feed to have on our
mats to try to lure them inbecause they were skittish.
There was one teenager, alpaca,that was the cutest thing that
had groomed it.
It looked like a doodle, likeits face was like no way so do
they do that with all of them,some of them I don't know if
(05:59):
it's just the certain types,because there were some that
were a little more wiry hair,yeah, but then there were some
that were more poofy and a lotmore hair like almost like a
sheep, like you needed to shearthem.
So this one had just gottensheared and it was just so cute,
the poofy face.
I think I showed you thepicture.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's the one I got the picture with.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But it was a teenager .
But it was abandoned by its momand it actually like lived
inside for a while when it wasyoung.
And so it was kind of theoutcast, like the other alpacas
looked at it like what's itgoing to do, but also see it as
like you haven't kind of come upwith us.
So you know so that alpaca wasactually pretty, you know,
(06:48):
confident and would come aroundus more and was kind of weaving
in and out from us and even kindof galloped.
It kind of made me nervous.
Oh yeah, you know it's lookingto charge over here.
Yeah, but it was really, reallycute and you could tell the
other alpacas were were gettingsome cues from this one, and so
it was the one that kind of cameand got a little bit closer to
us us, but the rest kind of justkind of circled us like the big
(07:08):
group of mats.
They just basically walkedaround us, not necessarily
through us, unless the owner was, you know, um coming through
with the feed and kind of likegetting them to yeah, if you had
feed?
Oh, they were definitely intothat okay, and it was
interesting because they onlykept the females, Like the males
, like when you get them mixed.
(07:29):
I guess, there's a differentdynamic.
And so they just had thefemales that were coming around
us.
We did see some males in thefence later, but they were super
sweet and it was just one ofthose things that you know you
felt like you were in a movie.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I didn't realize they were part of the camel family.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh, okay, okay.
So does that mean, they spit,they do?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I did not get spit on , thank goodness, oh my gosh.
But when I was taking a picturewith one, it kind of was clear
in its throat and I don't knowif it coughed, but I literally
thought it was about to spit atme and I kind of like darted
this way Um because our yogainstructor said she came out
before and got to meet them andget familiar Um she had done
(08:16):
this before in Atlanta, and soshe was like okay, well, you
know, I want to get to meet themand things like that.
So she came out and met theteenager one and it spit at her
and she like literally had tochange her clothes so my
goodness, yeah, yeah, come witha spare um yeah, thankfully
nobody got spit on okay, youknow they were pretty tame while
(08:38):
we were there, yeah, so um, butyeah, after so we we got done
with you.
It was funny, though, becauseyou know we're doing these
restorative you know, yoga,which are supposed to be calming
, and things which it was I meanit was a gorgeous day,
beautiful like just to take in,like close your eyes, take in
the birds, take in just natureyeah.
And so that was really loved it.
(09:00):
But of course then you hadpeople giggling because they're
like seeing the alpacas likearound them and trying to feed
them and stuff like that.
So it was.
It was definitely one of thosethings where you know you didn't
get probably as much yoga outof it as you did Right.
Visiting with the alpacas.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, so this is an alpaca farm in Franklin, but
that's the first yoga sessionthey did with the animals and it
was so popular it got sold thatthey're doing another one.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I believe it's next weekend.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I bet they'll be booked every weekend or as much
as they want to.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh yeah, I think they said.
I saw on their website.
I think they said five spotsleft, like yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh, my goodness, yeah , wow.
So did they have other animalson the farm besides alpacas?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They did so.
Did they have other animals onthe farm besides alpacas?
They did so.
I think they said they had somegoats.
I didn't see the goats.
But then they did have somemini ponies or mini horses
behind the gate.
That was really sweet and cute.
And then, when we got done withactual yoga, we walked over and
actually got to be closer tothe group of alpacas and feed
(10:06):
them, and, okay, how was thatit's so fun to feel like,
because I think they only havelike one set of teeth I can't
remember exactly but it justfeels like.
You just feel like they'relittle lips, you know grabbing
grabbing the food now with themale, like it was.
Oh, on the other side you felthis teeth, so I can see that
that was a little moreaggressive yes, um, but the
(10:26):
other ones, you know, they, theywould just kind of hang by you
if you go to pet it.
If you had food in your handyou could pet it, but if you
just went to pet it without thefood.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It still skittish you know, yeah, okay, kind of uh,
but they did stay together.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Definitely you know, a herding.
And the funny part was when wefirst started the yoga class to
lure them, like I said, with thefood, they were amazed by the
cars, Like they just went andlike we're checking out the cars
in the field.
Yeah, that's where they wantedto stay.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That is hilarious.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So they all ended up being by one car and the yoga
instructor was saying man,whoever has that blue car over
there, they're, they're reallydigging, digging your car right
now.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh my gosh um, so have you done goat yoga before?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I haven't.
I've seen the videos.
Yeah, but of course on yourback and stuff, right, yeah,
yeah, I don't know if I I don'tknow.
The one thing I would love tosee is when they do the whole
just fall over like play dead.
Yes, that's hilarious, it isfunny.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Or I've seen the people do like puppies, where
they just release a bunch ofpuppies and they climb all over
people and that's what ourfriend sent us videos of.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Next she wants to do.
Speaker 1 (11:39):

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Please get away.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, I'm super nervous around horses.
People that are comfortablearound horses just walk up and
know how to.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
They make me nervous, yeah, yeah.
I need to go outside.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm nervous right now talking about it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, I would get injured in a heartbeat which,
speaking of injuries?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh gosh, what did you do?
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I looked it up, it was February 8th.
We did the father and son flagfootball thing.
We do it once a year.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That's your mistake, right there, right so.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm not a competitive person.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
What.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
When it comes to that , I kind of got competitive and
it was toward the end of it andI was like I told this kid
playing quarterback.
I was like, hey, I'm going torun over here, slam on brakes
like I was Maverick, you know,with a jet plane.
As soon as I did it.
I was like Al I remember likewhy did my foot try to come out
of the side of my shoe?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So it's just been kind of lingering, because you
know, once you hit, Three months, once you hit 45, injuries
don't really go away.
It's just you're going to kindof this is where.
I'm at now.
So I waited, waited, waited.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Like you should.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, Went to a place got an x-ray still in whatever
got an MRI, so I did all thethings.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So then I went to your podiatrist.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
First time at a podiatrist.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, god, your podiatrist first time at a
podiatrist.
Yeah, god bless him.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
He said it was like the tendon on the outside of the
ankle that connects to thecubode or whatever the bone in
the middle of the foot.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Whatever Right and that was different than your
other diagnoses, or I like thatword diagnoses.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yes, because the other people didn't find
anything.
Well, everywhere you go, theytalk confidently and kind of
fast and you're like that iswhat it is okay and you just
kind of like okay, great, takeit in now.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
so that wasn't the part, that wasn't the
interesting part of this trip.
So they said oh so we're justgoing to give you this, like
first of all.
He said we can give you asteroid shot.
And I was like well, I'm kindof, I'm like my sister, I'm kind
of squeamish.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You should get out some smelling salts right now.
So how?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
about.
I just take eight Advil a dayand till I die.
Let's talk about that brace youmentioned.
So he gave me an ankle brace.
So the girl comes in, throws onthe brace and then she goes
real fast.
She goes all right, you'regoing to figure eight at the
bottom, come up side, slap.
Then you're going to do this.
I was like okay.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Do you have a video that I can watch?
So I think I got it.
Oh Lord Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But then she takes the brace off and puts it back
in a box.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Uh-uh off and puts it back in a box.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I was like, okay, maybe she just wants me to do
it when I get home.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So then she hands me a piece of paper and says it's a
prescription, so you got to.
It's a the brace is prescribed,so here you go.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That one was for display only, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
What so?
I was like maybe it's the wrongsize, Right you?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
know I'm sure it's got to be multiple sizes.
Surely there's a reason.
Yeah, Multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So anyway, she said follow the yellow signs, go to
checkout.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Follow the yellow background.
Follow the yellow background.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Which I will say they had like seven signs within
like 52 feet.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It was very instructive.
So I get up to the window handthe girl the prescription.
Yeah, I said I just need to getthis.
The lady that told me where togo was on the other side of the
window.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
You go around like in a U andyou just end up on the other
side, so I hand it to her.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I said I need to get this.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's like service merchandise.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, so she goes.
Well, that would have beengreat if there was service or
they had merchandise.
So she goes oh, we don't dothat, you can go to one of these
three locations.
So it gives me a piece of paperwith three locations, right?
So, now I go to the car and Itype in all the locations.
One's 1.9 miles down the roadand I type in all the locations.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
One's 1.9 miles down the road.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
How hard can that be?
So I drive over to whatever itwas called.
It was like an old school.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like a compounding pharmacy.
Yeah, it looked like a CVS from1971.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They had rascals, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, Is the pharmacist up a couple steps
kind of higher than you?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, I was the only person in there under 80 and
then I went.
I go to the counter.
I was like hey, just need topick this up.
Lady was super nice.
She goes that man over therebehind that desk he's got all
the answers, okay.
So then I take my piece of paper, I go to that guy and he goes
well, we got them, but uh,insurance doesn't cover them
(19:30):
here.
So I don't know.
I've never had a brace or acast.
I'm like they're probably goingto charge like 500 you know, I
thought it'd be somethingastronomical.
Yeah well, I just panic and golike, okay, and he goes no, if
you go to hanger hangar clinic,that was another location on
there.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You can get one there , they'll cover it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, appreciate it, get my car, put it in the hangar
clinic.
That's like two miles down theroad.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Drive there.
Sorry, this is a long,drawn-out process Drive there.
Uh-huh, another parking deckAlmost went down a one-way
(20:27):
street the wrong way multipletimes.
I am not happy.
There's multiple words beingthrown around.
So I park in the parking deckand then I go in a building.
Looks like a hospital, likethey all do, and got to figure
out where that is.
That's on level two, if you'rewondering, suite 250.
So I walk in there.
I see a girl behind a window.
There's no line.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
She looks like she doesn't want to help.
So I go right up to her.
I was like, hey, I need to pickthis up.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah and she goes.
Do you have an appointment?
I was like I had one earlierwith the doctor.
I said, no, I just need to getthis brace.
Yeah, doctor.
I said no, I just need to getthis brace, yeah, and she goes
well um I knew right then it wasa problem, like there was a
side.
Yeah, she was like I and I hearda word I never heard she goes
well.
I don't know without aappointment if we're gonna have
a clinician available I'd neverheard clinician oh really,
(21:06):
anyway, is it a brace fitter.
Whatever.
So I was like um, okay, shegoes, I'll go check on it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Great.
Could you check on theclinician and the brace?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
both of them you could just throw it from the
closet, I'll pick it up off theground.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Somebody already showed me how to do the figure
eight, so I think I can stillremember.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So I sit down and then she calls me back up.
I was like, well, I was fast.
She goes hey, we got them, butwe're not going to be able to
fill it because they left thedate empty.
There's no date on theprescription, so it's not valid.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I said it's from today.
I said I just can't.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She was not going to help.
No, she was not gonna help.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, she was not gonna help I was like she wasn't
gonna fudge the date on there oranything.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So I was like I was like meanwhile I'd been on my
phone.
I was like I told her.
I said you know what?
I'll just order one off Amazon,it's fine.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So I get in the car, I'm gonna order one.
I'm like you know what.
I'll just go back to the firstdude.
I'll just buy it there.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
He said they got them right.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Right yeah.
So I get in my car, drive twoand a half miles back over to Oz
.
Yeah right, Literally I waslike, hey, I'm back, I'm just
going to get it here.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
He said what size shoe you wear?
Yeah, oh, and he goes yeah, wedon't have that size.
And I was like, and then hesaid these words he said but
Dick's Sporting Goods has gotthem.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Dude, could you lead with that?
Excuse me the first visit.
I have been to multiple clinics, pharmacies we'll call them
hospitals, some kind of hangar,I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Airplanes, I could have grabbed this and some
athletic socks to be I couldhave got a brace, some jordans,
a blackstone grill, maybe somenike sweatpants, like I could
have gone to dick's sportinggoods.
So all that trouble and then Igo to dick's sporting goods oh

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Trying on braces, which I don't care anymore.
I'm just trying on braces.
There's dog hair all over them.
Now you know you walk aroundthe house with two dogs.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You're just trying not to be Michael Douglas from
Falling Down at this point.

Pretty much yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, which.
If you're Gen X, you know whatthat movie is which.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Falling Down would have been less painful.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Than just popping the dent.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Throughout that whole process you get to the point of
you know I'd rather just be inpain than just go through all
this.
But I started thinking I waslike what if you're in a
wheelchair?
Or like what if I was oncrutches?
Or like had a serious injury,and they're like, hey, just
drive over here.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know it's not helpful.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Dick's is basically the mafia.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But the brand I got, the brand that Dick's Sporting
Goods has is called ShockedShock Doctor, which I was
shocked.
