Speaker 1 (00:00):
Two microphones make a podcast.
Two microphones make a podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hi, this is Joyce and this is Marybeth.
Welcome to the Modern YogaPodcast.
We are really excited to have asuper special guest today.
Her name is Suzy Ketter.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
She is and the crowd goes wild the crowd goes wild.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
The founder of Little Lotus Jewelry.
She's been teaching since2018-19.
I know you graduated at the endof 2018.
Yep, very interesting.
Suzy is a very interestingperson.
She is the wife of VinceKetterer, but we're going to
leave him out of this podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Right, that is not her identity at all.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
He needs his own podcast, you mean like as a
guest or like he needs his ownpodcast, because he probably
doesn't need his own podcast.
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Not while he still hopes to be employed by a school
system Truth.
This is why I can't have a jobfor an actual organization.
It has rules in a HR department.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So, suzy, this is currently September.
I think this podcast will comeout before the end of the month.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
On and on 21 September.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Suzy is in the teacher spotlight this month.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
The white hot spotlight, as Billie Joel would
say.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Have we been getting requests for autographs so many?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's going to get worse.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
After this podcast Again, I love that Suzy's here,
Because remember the first timewhen we had Vince and Suzy on,
it was part of our initialseason about grief and they were
a little closer in time to theloss of their son and so they
both came on and I think Suzy'splan was, as long as her

(02:14):
extrovert Vince was there, shecould just sort of add a few
things.
But then her personality tookhold and she was a big
contributor to that podcast.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
I was so nervous.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Really.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Are you nervous now?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
No, I'm not nervous now, but even last night after
my class, at the very end, whenI was done with announcements, I
said OK, I'm done talking for awhile.
I just don't like to talk thatmuch.
Did you say that out loud?
Yeah, I think only the personnext to me heard it.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I get what you mean, because that happens to me not
very often and it takes a lot.
But there's times like if I'mdoing socializing all weekend or
there's something that I'vebeen in charge of, like a party
or something like, let's say, mymom's 80th birthday party a few
years ago by the end of it I'mlike I'm so sick of myself, like

(03:08):
shut up, shut up.
You're not that funny.
Nobody wants to hear from youanymore.
Stop it, and even I, but ittakes a lot of time.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I go there way faster than you Like.
Joyce took my class yesterdayand I said out loud, I said
narrow, way too many times.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I know you did.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I have to stop saying that.
I'm tired of hearing myself sayit.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
That's when you know you're really comfortable as a
yoga teacher, where you giveyourself feedback in the middle
of class.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Out loud.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
You two talk.
I'm going to go grab a giftthat was given to me in my class
yesterday.
I think you'll like it.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Oh OK.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh gosh, this is scary.
It was from the lobs, but I'mgoing to explain to her why it's
scary.
I hope you can hear, Because Ihappened to see Mary Beth on
Tuesday night and she was sayingthat she was going to be a
sausage.
Bring the sausage on Wednesdayand you might have to tell the
story now Sure, you want me totell the story.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
first Let me show you the shirt.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Nice that I think that belongs to me.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I need one.
I'm holding a batang top thatsays Shit Show Supervisor and
the reason they specifically theword Shit Show came up is and
actually this will tie in wellto Suzie's job, because you're
just going to be me trying toexplain why this is not
disparaging or mocking.

(04:34):
I really hope it's not BecauseI loved it.
But before COVID I taught oncea month at Bridges
Rehabilitation Center, which hasdeveloped me developmentally
disabled adults, and at somepoint I guess I mentioned that
to the lobs and I think thereason why is because I stopped

(04:55):
in one day thinking it was adrug and alcohol rehabilitation
facility, because I passed itlike four times a week coming to
and from my other classes.
So I thought I'm going to popin there a little public service
, see if they want to do anyyoga.
While I found out it wasn't drugand alcohol, it was
developmentally disabled adultsthat they would teach to grocery

(05:19):
packing and stocking so thatthey'd be more employable, and
so once a month I would do yogathere, without mats, not on the
floor, just sort of movements.
And it ended up being such agreat experience Because I
remember asking the guy I hadbeen to a trauma-informed yoga
workshop, so I was like probablydon't touch anybody, right, and

(05:41):
he goes.
No, he goes.
Nobody ever touches thesepeople Because they're gross.
They might be snotting orcoughing or haven't combed their
hair or brushed their teeth, orjust food on their shirt.
So we did very little yoga, justsome fun poses, and it'd be
great Because I'd say this poseis called mountain or whatever,
and somebody would be like,what's snowman pose?

(06:04):
So we would just make upsnowman pose then.
So it was really fun.
But I had a really longshavasana quote unquote ending
where I would just walk aroundin massage, standing, massage
their heads and necks.
So Pat Lobb was asking me sowhat's that like Yoga at a place
like that?
And I said, well, I mean, it'snot like yoga poses, it's kind

(06:26):
of a shit show, but I love it.
So when she saw this shirt thatsays shit show supervisor, she
bought it for me.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I was going to say that you should walk in like
you're in charge the next timethere's hip hop yoga with DJ
Jazzy James and the Fresh Vinsand you could be the shit show
supervisor.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm willing.
Yeah, the only thing is thatusually happens like on a Monday
holiday and I'm usually out oftown.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
So Mary Beth said she was going to dress like a
sausage for her Wednesday noonclass.
Her slow flow.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Have I told this story in the podcast before,
though.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know, but it's worth telling again.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
So eventually, audience, we will get to Susie
Ketterer, who this podcast issupposed to be about.
Oh, I can hear the sausagestory.
So around the fire pit at thewinery the other night I don't
know how we got on this subjectoh, we were talking about love,
languages and marriages andwhatever, and so that sparked a
lot of good conversation and Isaid about I don't know 15,

(07:29):
maybe 20 years ago, jeff Twirtywas going to be out of town at a
client on Valentine's Day andhe thought I gave a shit,
because some wives do Like howdare you leave me on my birthday
or Valentine's Day?
Look, I'm like bye-bye.
But I got in my car onValentine's Day and there was a

(07:49):
nicely wrapped Victoria's Secretbox.
So I opened up the Victoria'sSecret box and in it and I'll go
grab this for the pleasure ofyou two to get to see it was
like a leopard in black lacy,slutty lingerie thing.
The size was extra small.

(08:10):
It may or may not fit you, Suzy, was it the?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
classic like what size is your wife?
I don't know about your size.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Right.
He said he didn't even have aconversation, he just pulled it.
He saw it hanging there, pulledit and took it to the front.
I am five foot eight and 154pounds.
Probably today it's like itchanges.
But who on what planet do youthink that?
Your wife?
But he never looked at the sizeso he didn't know.
So his punishment was I did nottake that back and return it.

(08:40):
No, no, no, I put it on my body.
I put it on my body and we callit sausage because it is like a
sausage bursting out of itscasing.
And every now and then, allthese years later, when we
travel, I will take it with usas a surprise and I'll burst out
of the bathroom of some hotelwearing sausage.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
So giggle amongst yourselves and let me go grab
one.
Only you can do.
That is so funny.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
The Susie Ketterer podcast is Mary Beth's show and
tell.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
A sort of spin off of that is.
Vince likes to buy things likethat and when Eva was little
there was this really lacy thongor underwear or something that
had gemstones on it with a wordright, and it was.
Somehow she saw it in our room.
She's like oh, this is pretty,what does that say?

(09:36):
And it said showtime.
But I said it says prettybecause I panicked, I didn't
know what to say.
Oh, look at that, reallystretching it, wow.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
That's hilarious, any hue, I was not too far away
that I didn't hear your story,susie.
Oh yeah, bow chicka-bow-wow.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
There's nothing surprising about the fact that
Vince purchased that.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Now here's what will be funny.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
For the hip-hop yoga.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'll wear the shit show supervisor shirt and Vince
can put on sausage.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Or showtime, or both Great idea.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I love it.
Joyce, what's going on in yourbedroom?
Well, this isn't my bedroom.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
No, I mean in your lingerie drawer.
I mean there's a couple ofhidden gems.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oh boy, be careful where you hide your gems.
I want to have to go to the ER.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well, yeah, actually not thinking about that.
Alina's at a very curious age.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, thanks for the reminder.
Anyhow, susie, how long haveyou been doing yoga?

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Oh gosh, my very first yoga class was probably
I'm just going to guess 15 yearsago, and then I did it off and
on.
Well, now I can't remember thatguy's name, but my sister
talked about it when she was on.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I was just going to say, when we talked to your
sister, she was talking aboutthe guy online that you guys
used to follow.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, and then we had a TV show like it was when we
had a DVR and we would record,like keep, only the last five
episodes.
So we were doing this poweryoga on the television while our
kids played in the other roomor whatever oh, that's going to
Steve, something or other.
But then it got taken off theair and I was so upset I emailed

(11:56):
somebody or something and thathe didn't.
He was playing all this musicthat he didn't have the rights
to, so that's what.
And it was just like they hadrecorded different clips and
they would just put them indifferent orders for a different
class every day.
Is it Steve Adams?
No, that doesn't sound right.

(12:16):
No, I don't know, but anyway.
So we did that for a while andthen we would go to the place in
Brunswick and we were just onceevery three months or something
.
We just couldn't do it when ourkids were little.
I have a lot of respect forpeople who have little kids or

(12:37):
have these busy lives with theirkids and still make time for
yoga, because it's really hard.
But I started comingconsistently when you guys
opened so and have been kidswere getting older by then,
little little bit more selfsufficient right.
Yes, it was nice.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I have a lot of respect for people who have kids
who get anything done.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
But self care is so hard.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
When you're caring for your kids all the time and
they, you know, just to get awayfor an hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I was just babysitting my grandkids for a
week and you know I didn't evenhave to go to work, so I was
there the whole time.
Okay, I thought I was going towash my hair this day.
Well, they just said, didn'tend up being time, so maybe I'll
wash tomorrow, because we'reactually going to go out in
public, because there's thebaseball game or something, and
it's like sometimes it justdoesn't happen, like that's what
suffers.
Is anything you plan on doing?
I was going to take off my nailpolish.

(13:36):
That didn't happen all week,like you don't even have a few
minutes for that.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
She also has eight pounds of hair, so I don't know
that that would be on the top.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I showed you yesterday.
Whenever Joyce says she hashair envy, I showed her the
picture after I had orangeplastic snaked my bathtub drain.
It looks like a muskrat died inthere Then so I said muskrat
love.

(14:08):
One of my 70 songs that Jamesdoesn't want to know about.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
You won't get this far.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Actually, I wrote a pretty funny recap of you and I
on Monday.
I was just looking at the recap.
Oh oh, it was a bit more dramathan than we deserved.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
So, suzy, you were at the opening weekend Matter yoga
, yep, were you hooked from the?

Speaker 4 (14:36):
from the get go.
Yes, I had no idea what I wasdoing.
I was like it just moved wayfaster than what I was used to.
It was James's class, I think,on Sunday, and when I think
about it, people were in everydifferent direction, like now.
There's a way that you go inand you face forward right.
I think I was facing sidewaysso I didn't know right from left
and what was going on, but theheat felt so good and I felt so

(15:00):
good when I was done.
Then I just came back Come on.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Did you come alone the first time?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
or with Vince or with Amy, which was a good thing.
I like to be alone.
Sometimes they'll ask is itokay if I go with you or do you
need this to be by yourself?
Yeah, we don't talk for thewhole hour.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Well, it's funny the number of couples that we have
coming who don't even put theirmats next to each other.
They don't drive together, theydon't drive together.
They might see each other there, they might not.
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
The number of people who will be like oh, I think my
husband is finally interested incoming yoga, but I don't want
him to because this is my time.
I remember one time JulieGrubowski's family, like her
husband, called me a couple daysbefore her birthday and said
we're going to surprise her andcome to the 545 am class on her

(15:54):
birthday Because she is like shedoes not miss a class.
So he paid for all of it priorto like I told him I would get
mats out and everything.
Their kids are I think theiryoungest kid is in high school
and this was just a few yearsago, so it's not like they were
like little kids or anything.
So I think she's got four kidsand it's 545 in the morning and

(16:19):
I'm like the classes are decent,a decent size in the morning
but they're not packed.
And I'm rolling out like fiveextra mats around her and she
didn't even notice.
You know, she was just kind ofI don't know if she was in
Child's Pose or just kind ofdoing her thing beforehand and

(16:39):
about two minutes before classthey all walked in and she was
so shocked.
But she told me later her firstthought was wait a minute.
This is, this is mine.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, go, go, go, get away.
I don't want to see your faceshere.
This isn't a birthday present.
Don't go away, mad, just goaway.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
So when we, when we, introduced our teacher training
program, you were in the firstgroup of people to sign up, so
you were one of the firstgraduates.
Actually, I'll tell you exactlywhat graduate you were, because
I have it in order these daysyou graduated with Becky Therian

(17:20):
, I believe.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
If I I think Becky graduated before me.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh, she was with Mali Angela Tentor.
That's right there.
I knew there were two, twocouples that graduated.
So actually, let's see, youwere December 16th of 2018.
You and Ange.
So what made you decide toteach?
Like, why did you want to teachyoga?

Speaker 4 (17:48):
I just I love the way yoga made me feel and I wanted
other people to feel that way.
But I didn't really think Iwanted to teach adults, because
I'm just so used to teachingkids.
So I just did it reallyinitially to learn more and
honestly, it was after Idiscovered that it was more
breath, like the breath is whatfelt so good to me.

(18:09):
The movement obviously is abonus.
You go for the workout, stayfor the yoga right, but that
makes so much sense when youfigure out.
I think people who understandyoga it's because the breath and
the movement together feelsgood, like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think for people who don't even understand that
that's going on, like they whenthey say it just feels so good,
yeah, yeah, I think the yoga isworking on them for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
And I hope people don't get discouraged to our
newer to yoga, because I knowsome people are standing there
scratching their heads like Idon't get this magic breath and
movement thing.
It takes a minute until youfigure out how for me, my way of
saying it is how the breath isyour assistant and can move you.
You know, the inhales can helpyou lift and raise and lengthen
and the exhales can help youfold and twist and once you find

(19:04):
that that is so powerful.
So don't get discouraged if youdon't feel that yet.
International.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I didn't get it when I started and I don't think I
think I started reallyunderstanding like the bigger
purpose when I was Thinkingabout lessons I learned or
insights I had on my yoga matwhile I was like at work or
while I was off the mat Ishouldn't just say at work, but
while I was off the mat where Iwas like, oh, you know, and I
don't know that I reallyunderstood the breath and

(19:33):
movement to even years afterthat.
So it was just like this bigunfolding of like, oh, I see
this, like this, this was doing,doing its thing.
You know, sometimes teacherswill say you don't do yoga, yoga
does you.
And the yoga was definitelyworking, joyce, does everything
have to be dirty?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
You had that little side eye with it.
I mean, you're the one that hasnegligee.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I just hold over the dog.
I know I'm just giving you ahard time.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Is that the dog's?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
tail or a toy.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
That was the dog's tail, not the tickler.
So what do you?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
like about teaching.
Suzy, you've been teachingquite a while now and you, I
mean you teach quite a bit,considering you have a full time
job and Vince Not to interruptyou or delay your answer, but
when yoga teachers come up atModern Yoga favorites, Suzy is
always at the top of the list.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
People talk about her voice, her delivery, her
soothing voice.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
We don't all have that going on, Suzy.
Well, thank you, You're so coolyeah.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
I think I well, the yoga helps that.
Well, I mean, Vince did a greatimpression of you once at
teacher trading.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean not, he wasn't teaching, he was just like
hello, friends, let's do somepower yoga and 20 minutes later
you're dying.
Now I forgot your question,joyce.
What do you love about yoga?

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yoga is about the energy that you get from your
friends.
You don't have to worry aboutyour question, joyce.
What do you love about teaching?
Oh okay, so earlier I said I'mnot even sure that I want to
teach adults because I it waskind of scary for me.
I'm just used to being in frontof kids who really don't care.
They're a little more forgiving.

(21:24):
But when it comes to yoga,adults are there because they
want to be there.
Most of them, I mean very, very, not very often do you
encounter someone that's thereand wanting to be there and so
they want, they're willing tolearn and they're willing to try
more than kids or theyunderstand a little bit more of

(21:46):
what yoga does for you, even ifthey don't know that it's the
breath and movement, or just thebreath really.
So I did some kids yogatraining too, and I didn't love
it because as a teacher, I seethat kids need to be a little
bit more mindful and need tolearn some calming,

(22:08):
self-regulation strategies, andmost of the programs that I
looked at it was all play-based,which kids need to play, but
they also need and maybe it'snot called kids yoga something
different mindfulness, that wasto me like you need to create a
program.

(22:29):
Emotional intelligence.
I tried to do that at school.
I did it for one year, but itwas kids whose parents wanted
them to be there.
They didn't want to be there,so then it still wasn't what I
wanted it to be.
So it feels good to be aroundpeople who are there because
they want to be.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
You know, and yoga makes me feel so good.
I want other people to feelgood when they come to yoga.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Sharing the magic.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
That's why we do it.
Sharing is caring.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
And it's a little bit of a creative outlet too.
You guys give us a little bitof a time to do our own sequence
, or here are the things that wewant in place when you teach at
our studio, but you can stilltry something new, or yeah, you
can still try something new,which is great.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
So sharing is caring is a very popular saying in our
house right now, because Alinais learning that at school.
So anytime sharing comes up,it's sharing is caring.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh, how funny.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
So share your breath.
Well, the difference betweenlike breath and a.
I find it so hard to teach slowflow, mary Beth, because people
don't breathe loudly, and Ithink I thrive on that.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
They are more self conscious about it, even if
they're using their breath they.
That's why I tend to be such aloud breather.
Like I'm going to cover youwith my loudness, so feel free
to do that.
Some people do and I love that,but yeah, it's a little more of
a self conscious vibe in there.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah, even in a basics class.
I don't know if it's becausethey're learning or they're self
conscious, or or you're leadingthem in breath.
Yeah, I always say make sureyou're breathing, keep breathing
, that's your anchor.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Not to say that you're not married.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
So good to me.
Maybe that's a little selfcentered, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
But the best part.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, I'm right, exactly Like yesterday, the
difference between my class andyour class just hearing the
breath, so the basics to thepower, was completely different.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Oh, so I took her class yesterday and I was really
impressed with how strong thebreath was.
In a basics class I felt like Idon't know like I could really
drop in.
I thought it was great.
Mary Beth, mary, breath leadsbreath as well.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Rothy Mary.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
I love having breath, breathers.
I think it's powerful foreverybody.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
What's good is when it's so not on purpose for me.
I find myself if anything'swrong in my life.
I find myself loudly breathing,alone in my car and I'm like,
oh, this is weird.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Remember when you and I go ahead, suzy.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
I was just going to say that's the tool.
That's what I take away from mymat is when I'm stressed or
anxious or sad or nervous or anyof that, I can just use my UJI
breath and calm immediately.
I know how to use it now and Iwant other people to do that.
It's so helpful.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Really is.
And aside, even if you don'twant to think of yourself as a
yoga weirdo, breathing, there'sa great chapter or section in Dr
Oz, dr Mehmet Oz and Dr MichaelRoyzins like original book 20
years ago you the Owner's Manualabout the physical benefits of
just deep breathing.
Forget about anything else.

(26:10):
They tell you all of thesespecific things that are too
esoteric for me to talk about,that it does to your lungs, to
your blood, to your bloodpressure.
So it's not just us weirdos.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
There's also a great book called Breath by James
Nester, I would guess not morerecent than Dr Oz, but both of
those are pretty current.
Right, I forgot what I was.
Oh, when our teachers came into do the first yoga teacher

(26:46):
training we offered back in 2017, Mary Beth and I watched a lot
of it together and Mary Bethwould just start breathing while
they were practice teaching,but so loud it wasI'm like
you're not practicing.
She's like, oh, it was kind offunny because you would
automatically go into it.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, the first time I taught a donation class since,
that's on a Friday night.
Jeff came with me and he wasjust in the lobby waiting.
He wasn't going to do the yoga,but I saw him turn around at
some point and look at me andthen when I came out he was like
what is that?
Like what are you doing inthere?
I can hear you breathing outhere.
I said thanks for thecompliment.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Is that why he started going to Market District
?

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, he loved that for a while, didn't he?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, he did it.
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
A favorite of Miles Ketterer as well.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Right, yes, it is MD.
It's not MarketMD in our house.
Do you ride the elevator?
Occasionally I do, where I takea selfie in front of the little
plate next to the elevator thatsays dedicated to Miles, when
it was closed over there duringCOVID.
Almost every time, if I wouldgo to Starbucks or something and

(27:59):
then get a coffee and walk thatway, they're like oh no, it's
closed, it's closed.
I'm like I know, I'm justtaking a picture of the elevator
.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
You're like, I'm Susie Ketterer.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
They're like that woman has her own problems.
We're just going to let her go,Exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Walk away shaking selfies at the elevator.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
It's totally normal.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Just take pictures of elevators.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
That's awesome.
We still do that.
So Miles loved elevators and hewould watch this young man who
was on a spectrum who calledhimself an elevator photographer
.
So he would take videos and Ican still hear this guy's voice.
He watched it constantly ohit's an Otis, or it's a Dover,
or he knew all the differentkinds of elevators.

(28:43):
So we named our dog Otis afterthe elevator.
So now anytime we're in an Otiswe have to take a picture with
Otis in the background.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Otis is a really specific and weird good thing
about technology and socialmedia and YouTube and whatever,
like something like thatsomebody on the spectrum who
takes pictures of elevators toentertain somebody else.
It just never happened earlierand it was just pure like
whimsical joy, right Like yep,miles had very specific things,

(29:19):
which I love.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
that about kids Like when I get to work with kids,
like that.
It had one who loved paperclips.
He had a paperclip collection,a whole binder of different
colors and different sizes ofpaperclips.
Then I had another kid wholoved leaf blowers.
He got a leaf blower for hisbirthday and I love more that.
His parents just let him loveit.
He loved the fall.

(29:43):
He could blow the leaves.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
And again, how fun is that To see a pile of leaves
blowing in the wind?
I get why that was fun and whyhe loved that.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
There's like little novelty ones now too, that you
can get the battery powered oneslike little leaf blowers for
your desk.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
You know, I do feel like and love that people are
just letting their kids do theirthing, as long as it's not
harmful, like when I wasbabysitting the Grans Jeff
bought Jax and these pajamasalthough Jax won't let us call
them pajamas from Target withBatman on them.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
And he wanted to wear them.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
What does he call them?
School Morning clothes.
Because he wanted to wear themto school.
So he was trying to convince usthey weren't pajamas.
I'm like I don't care if hewears them to school, but he
makes fun of them and he doesn'tlike it.
Then maybe he won't do it again.
But you know what he did.
His school has a camera.
You can see what's going on.
They were.
It was sleeveless.

(30:34):
I see him showing the girls hismuscles.
That's when he wanted to wearthe pajamas.
He's four, he was.
There's two girls standing byand he was like that's amazing.
And I had a hard time gettingthem off of him.
All week I had to peel them offhim twice because he slept in
them and went to school in themand anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Speaking of the spectrum, can you talk about
Otis some more?

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Oh my gosh, I'm pretty sure Otis is on the
spectrum.
Really Is he a special needsdog?
He is.
He's very nervous.
He's afraid of certain noises,not fireworks or slay.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Leaf blowers are probably one of them.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
No, he's not afraid of the leaf blower, the
lawnmower, the vacuum nothingnormal like that he's afraid of.
If you ping your phone, he'safraid of the.
Are you?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
serious, yes, like if you can't find it and you do
the watch thing Uh-huh.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
He's terrified.
He starts, he picks up ablanket and runs laps in our
house and then you have to lethim outside and he does a few
zooms to sort of that's his selfcalming strategy or that's so
funny, go ahead.
He will also lock himself inthe bathroom.
One time he spent the nightthere and we didn't know it.
But I have a tiny littlebathroom by my front door, so

(31:50):
it's just a little pedestal sinkin a Our room and barely fit in
there.
And he gets himself in thereand he closes the door and it's
dark and it's quiet and he getsaway from the noise.
So he's self regulated.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
That is awesome.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
So by he doesn't by locking himself in, he didn't
actually like hit the door lock.
He's just so big that you can'tget the door open, right, oh
correct Once he lays down, thedoor latches shut.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Yeah, oh, get out.
So I mean, it doesn't, itdoesn't lock.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Right, right right.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I wonder if it's Of the tone, the decibel, the
vibration, what it is.
Because this crazy dog, maya,that I'm dog sitting, like I'll
be walking her, and a Mack truckcan almost run her over and she
doesn't react.
But I took my crock off of myfoot to shake a rock out of it
and drop that back on the groundand she like freaked out.

(32:47):
I'm like you almost just gothit by a car and that was okay
with you, but I dropped my shoeand you're like quaking.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
We.
You don't know her background,though, right.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Maya's.
We do know her background.
She was just used for breedingfor the first two years of her
life and basically lived in acage, so she didn't have a lot
of social skills.
But I love that.
Otis is just like.
I'm not going to do this rightnow.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
So I put him in there one time and I turned the fan
on to try to lock out the noise,because we used to.
He's afraid of the aircompressor and anytime Vince
goes in the garage now he startspacing Like is he going to turn
that thing on, is he not?
But you must do too many choresis the problem.
We're too cheap to do and payanybody, so we try to figure it

(33:35):
out ourselves and break thingsin the meantime.
But it's okay.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
You'll learn a lot.
You'll end up paying more.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah, or about the same.
We should have just started.
But so we used to take Otis.
When he was a puppy he slept inour room and so it wasn't like
a crate, it was sort of like.
Well, it was a crate to beginwith, but then when he got
bigger he just had like a wholebunch of blankets and then he

(34:01):
was caged in with like a doggate.
So then we would take him upthere and he would always.
I would turn the music on inour room and he would face the
wall and we would like close theblinds and it was like a
calming space.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
And did you start using like isochronic tones for
him, like your meditation music?

Speaker 4 (34:20):
And if you and like, we have an Alexa and I'll ask
her to play meditation music fordogs.
And there's, I think they'recalled meditation dogs.
I'm not sure if it's actuallyfor dogs, but that's what
usually comes on.
Meanwhile, our other dog, eightyear old Golden and Traver, is
just watching him go back andforth Like I don't know what.
And what's the big deal?

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Everything's fine, he's like kids today.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yes, so we got this new fancy coffee pot that Vince
got on an auction and Otis isafraid of it.
So now every morning when wemake coffee, he just we have
bells on our back door and he'lljust keep hitting the bell
until you let out before thebeep happens, cause he knows I'm
scumming.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
How smart though how smart he is that he knows what's
coming Like they're making thecoffee, I gotta get away.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
I can't handle this.
The bathroom's not available.
Let me out Going outside.
He's so.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Ava is his favorite right.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh, Ava's favorite.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Sure yeah, and she's going to college next year.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yes, In the fall he's , it's not going to go well.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Does he miss Ben?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
He misses Ben, but he's going to miss Ava way more,
so he's happy to see Ben, buthe's going to be lost without
Ava.
Yes, and like Lucy's going tobe nine in January, so at some
point we're going to see him.
We're going to have to getanother dog.
We're not going to have an Ava.
We're not going to have a Lucy.

(35:57):
Don't tell Vince, I'll justcome home with it one day.
We'll find Vince in the littlepowder room alone with the door
closed, he goes to his littleman cave in the basement.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Vince.
Vince and Otis have a goodrelationship, right, I know?
I know Otis drives him crazysometimes.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
He does love the dogs .
He just likes to pretend thathe doesn't, to be cool.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, I mean maybe it's like what my mother used to
say to me when I was a smallchild I love you, but I don't
like you very much.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's it.
Because, otis, you never knowwhat's going to set him off or
upset him.
And when he gets nervous, if hedoesn't have like, if he can't
self-regulate, at that moment hewill like run up to you and
body slam you, like he literallyruns up and he'll pounce on you

(36:55):
.
And you're small, I can'tbelieve that just happened.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
And sometimes you just yell at him because, like,
seriously, I have to go to workand now I'm completely dirty,
got to change or just go to workthat way, whatever Dirty like
twirty I just had a moment whereI probably about I don't know
half hour before we started, Ihad to yell at my dogs, and I

(37:20):
don't normally yell at my dogs,but you try and talk it out
first.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
One reason with them.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I just, I guess, as I was telling you before the
podcast, mary Beth, it's been astressful morning and I'm sure
it's all self-induced, but likeI took a shower and did my
makeup and dried my hair andlike I always take my clothes
into the bathroom I used to be abig ironer and now I'm just a
big steamer, so it's juststopped.
So I hang my clothes from theshower rod and hangers and just

(37:59):
I have a small steamer.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
I'm sorry.
So better than having a bitsteamer.
That's too big, guys don't likethat.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
So sometimes, when I'm do, when I this process, the
end result is that they theyare taken for a W, a Okay, cause
I and I always use the bathroombefore we leave for W Okay.
So maybe that's more where,anytime I go in the bathroom,

(38:29):
colt thinks like this is it?
And he's like dancing aroundoutside the bathroom crying, you
know, and I'm just like, andthen, you know, he's like right
on my, he's like right on myheels.
I'm trying to walk into thekitchen to get coffee and I'm
tripping, you know, and I'm justlike, just not right now.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Well, between your steamer talk and Susie talking
about the dog making her clothesdirty, I want to.
I want to take a littledigression and ask you, ladies,
this so you say I'm wearing likea T-shirt dress today, right To
do a podcast that nobody seesand to go get my hair colored.
So why do I have a dress on?
You ask Do you do this thingwhere something is half dirty in

(39:07):
your mind?
So you, you don't put it away.
Yeah, it's not clean.
So I wore this.
I saw yesterday at noon.
I had lunch with a friendafterwards, so I put it on, took
my yoga clothes off, put thison for a couple hours, had to
come home and change for mynight classes.
So now it's like half dirty, soI have to like, wear it again

(39:28):
before I can justify washing itagain.
Yeah, and so here we are.
Okay, good, I feel very normalnow.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Like jeans, you don't wash your jeans.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Well, jeans I almost never wash.
I'm sorry, listen, if peoplecome at me and think it's gross,
fine, but I don't wash jeansvery often at all.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
I think that's pretty normal thing?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, it takes me so long to beat my jeans into
submission.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
But there's like a perfect day after you wear them
so many times and they feelright, and then you stretch them
out and you have to start overuntil you get to that perfect
day again.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
And you know, when you're on that perfect day like,
oh well, this is it.
Yeah, I'm gonna wash.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
Her Feels good.
Yep, all right, I was justtalking.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
My one daughter-in-law, who's still
young enough to care moreinstead.
She knows it's not a great ideato wash your jeans too much,
but she's a little moreconcerned with being disgusting
than I am, so she puts her jeansin the freezer.
I've heard of that, becausesome internet influencer has
said that that will kill thegerms or bacteria.
Ah, so she does that, or?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
it'll transfer it to everything else in the freezer.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Well, I also feel like, don't they warm up and
wake up again?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Maybe so, Suzy, sometimes when you start talking
it gets silent, and that's,I've noticed.
We've both been cutting you offa little bit.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Oh, look no.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Mary.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
Beth got there, Hi James.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
To say hi to Suzy, since she's on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Oh, but not to me.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Pink and yellow.
No, not to you.
You're always rude, right.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
She didn't wear her sausage.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
I just got a message.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
The last connection is unstable.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
How rude.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Oh wow, well, it's probably.
They're just saying you'reunstable, you're in it, it's
fine.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
No, I'm just kidding, but you don't need to apologize
, james.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
The last episode.
I think it missed you, but whenI was publishing it it dawned
on me that this informationWould be helpful for you and
your plethora of kind of raunchyjokes.
So the last episode that justgot published today Was episode
69.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
So the year I was born, by the way, also the
number that Joyce gave me eventhough I don't play softball on
the back of a modern yogasoftball shirt, Cause she knew
it would crack me up.
There you go.
That was the first episode ofthe show.
It would crack me up.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
That was.
That was before the newuniforms.
Ryan Thosezki got the official69.
Which, if you don't know, ryan,that would just ensure that he
has a shirt on.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Yeah, yeah, I do know who Ryan is.
James, I was just telling Joyce.
The AI interpretation recap ofthat episode was pretty darn
funny.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
I really tap.
Do you use the whole dialogue?
No, oh, somebody just typedsomething up and then they fix
it up for you.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
No, but there's a transcript.
Now that the AI does that,it'll just basically type the
transcript.
So if you guys want to buy thatsometime.
Just click over on transcriptand it'll be like person, one,
person, two, person with bighair no, it doesn't say big hair
, but sometimes you can go inthere and edit it so I can put

(42:53):
in any names.
But it's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Did you read the transcript?
So I'm sorry to go.
It got the song in there.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Hilarious?
No, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
The transcript starts with two microphones and make
all gas.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Oh funny, I just read the recap thing and it just
reminded me, you know, of a wordversion of when James was
trying to use AI to do make yogapose graphics and it took like
a human being throw wings onthem for crow Like a chicken leg
it was so it was eagle.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
And I asked it to like I was trying to get it to
put a graphic.
We should share one of thosephotos.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Oh my gosh, it will make you laugh out loud that but
it gave me like five photos.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
that it's it.
Like it was a pop up on, thesoftware is using like try this
AI.
And I was like, okay, well, Iwant this photo where
everybody's doing crow and Iwant you to insert like a
graphic of a of somebody of acrow pose.
And so it made up crow pose andit was like some of it was like
a crow with human arms poppingout of it.
It was so funny.

(44:01):
And then there was another onethat was just like a disembodied
, like she had like really longarms and legs.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Or they were coming out of the rot, like your arm is
coming out of your ear orsomething.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah, and then I remember that, and I remember
that when I was a kid I was likeI'm going to be like this is my
favorite one where it was justlike some dude's face, screaming
, and then it was coming out ofthe chest of a bird with hands
Around the bird.
It was weird Aim.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Those are to have to dig those up.
Yeah, would you say, susie Isaid that's like a bad dream.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Those are scary when that happens.
They it's all over laps.
Yeah, it's like that's the, the, the super fast, flashy images
of really scary shit.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Speaking of dreams, tell us about the weird dream
you had the other day, susie Hi,about yoga.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Oh, yeah, I was so nervous about teaching yoga
Because I can't read the scriptunless I have glasses on.
Can't read anything.
I have cheaters.
We have cheaters everywhere.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Me too.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
And then so I.
So I woke up the night beforein the middle of the night and I
was like, oh my gosh, I forgotmy glasses.
What am I going to do?
Like I can't have it up herewith a flashlight trying to read
it.
And then I realized, okay,nevermind, Joyce always has
glasses there too.
It's going to be fine, I couldjust use Joyce's if I need to.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
And you know it really helps me in that
situation.
Not with yoga, need your, butanytime I want to read a quote
or something you could have, youknow, typed it on your phone
and then just scrolled through,maybe for an easier visual.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Yeah, Just, a thought Too late, and I know there's.
There would have been othersolutions, but at the moment it
was.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
In the middle of her dream.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Yeah, I remembered my glasses, I remembered the
flashlight and I think it wasfine.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Wouldn't have been awesome in your dream if you
would have been like I shouldjust put this in my phone.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
I'll try and speak to you in your dream next time,
Sue's.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Okay, sounds good.
You're going to have to comeback and tell us how that goes.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
My Mary Beth dream Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
You know, we I noticed, not just with Susie,
but when we do a podcast withthe guests and you and I have a
microphone in there, just on azoom call, there is the tiniest
microsecond of delay where we doend up talking over that person
or missing a couple of theirwords.
And it reminds me I was able toget together with a high school

(46:35):
friend of mine, dave.
His dad had been our teacher inhigh school, our French teacher
.
So I hadn't seen his dad inyears and luckily he remembered
me and we had a great time.
But near and he's retired nowand he's, you know, probably 80,
right, he's my mom's age.
On the way out.
You know we were hugging and sogood to see you, hope to see
you again.
He goes, kid, you interrupt alot.

(46:56):
I'm like I'm sorry because Iknow he's right.
Yeah, because I don't evennotice I'm doing it, I'm just
always talking.
So it's a thing I need to workon, which I'll try and work on
better than I work on therunning over my class time thing
.
That's a that's kind of rough.
It's all right, I deserved it.

(47:17):
I was, I'm rough and you knowYou're not rough.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
I like being around people who talk a lot, because
then I don't have to talk You'rejust so cool, I'm totally fine.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
So so you obviously knew that about Vince before you
married him.
Did you know about hisfascination?

Speaker 4 (47:34):
with costumes, not so much.
That's what's up for the years.
I knew the superhero thing Likehe was a huge Superman fan way
before it was cool Always readcomic.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Like was it cool for a period of time.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Well, all the superhero movies, you know those
are pretty popular now.
Everybody knows about them.
It's like his thing, Our kids,they go to the superhero movies
together and sometimes I do getan afternoon off.
Yeah, right, once I discoveredwait, I could stay home and do
something by myself.
That's great.
You guys have that thingtogether and I'll be alone.
I like to be alone.

(48:15):
I'm an introvert.
How we recharge, mary Beth, youdon't understand that at all.
Generally, I feel likeextroverts Just by their nature.
I think that everybody needswhat they need, but, like Vince
thinks that I always want tohave somebody around me.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
He's learning, but I actually, how long have you been
there?
I?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
have spoken about this.
I actually think I'm in whatdid we call it an ambervert, or?

Speaker 1 (48:45):
an amber.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Cause when I'm social , I'm social, but when I'm not,
I will pretend I'm not home Ifyou're not on the door.
So I do like I don't like IfI'm going to be sick or in the
hospital or don't, do not comeby with a casserole, do not call
me to check on me.
I appreciate the thought, butno, now you're giving me more to
do.
That I don't want.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
So I do.
It's a very interesting thingwith her too, because if you're
sick or something's going on,she's going to be on your porch
with a casserole.
She's going to look up youraddress and just show up.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Which is weird, because I don't like it.
Isn't that funny?
Why do I do that?

Speaker 2 (49:22):
And I've decided that I'm a recovering extrovert and
a recovering what's theenneagrams Like?
I think I what.
I think I'm a seven, but Ithought I was a four or
something, or maybe it was theother 10, obviously.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Well, thanks, marybeth, anyhow, so many
different tests and every time Idid it it was like on my phone,
so I don't know my enneagramnumber.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Don't tell me there.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
But it's like.
It's like oh okay, now you haveto pay for this, and then I get
frustrated and close it.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
I know they get you, they make you do the quizzes for
all these things.
Yes, I don't really want toknow any answer.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
But I, like Joyce, after you sent that text about
the podcast or the it was themodern yoga update for teachers
about enneagrams then I startedlistening to different podcasts
and it is really interesting andI think it's helpful if I know
someone else's number and then Iknow what they need.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, Actually, this kind of came up the other night,
yeah.
The love languages the testsand what was the one.
But what was the test that youtook when you?

Speaker 3 (50:35):
were working for the Brackman method.
That was like 1990.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
But you even thought then that it was going to.
You're like, okay, whatever,I'll take this and it.
It was dead, it wasunbelievably right on.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
It would ask you things that seemed unrelated to
anything and when the reportcame back I remember one.
There was no questions aboutthis, but I remember one.
When the report came back, itsaid when you are under stress,
you will become like secretiveand opportunistic.
And I was like ding, ding, ding.

(51:09):
So I mean, I learned that aboutmyself.
But I was like wow, this thinggot inside me because I didn't
confess to any of that.
But, in the workplace as a 20year old.
That's how it was.
Yeah, it was like what can Ifind out that the other person
doesn't know, or something toget ahead.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
That's how I felt when I took the Myers brakes,
Like how did you know that?
That's how I'm feeling.
It was so weird.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
It's really telling.
What was it like teaching in ayoga knee?

Speaker 4 (51:43):
I know you love teaching in I do love teaching
in, but I will tell you that Ireally love teaching in in the
heat.
I think the heat is so good foryou and healing, and with it it
felt completely different.
Was it warm at all?
It really threw me off?
No, not really.
I mean, it's never cold inthere.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Right, for a brief period of time we had unheated
power and that was weird, soweird, like yeah, actually, I
think like it started off,people were asking for it, so it
started off okay, and then itjust kind of kind of fizzled out
.
But I think the last unheatedpower class was when I had been
drinking champagne for StaceyTeter's birthday, and then

(52:28):
during class Stacey Teter andMary Beth Twerty sat on the
couch with with Tiarra's andthey kept drinking and they were
laughing and like, and then,and then all of a sudden they
left, they went to scramble andthey came back after class.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
We had to go to scramble is because we weren't
fit to drive home.
That's why we went to scrambleis?
Um, I love unheated power.
Do you?
You do?

Speaker 4 (52:55):
Yeah, I like my sweat to be from exertion and not
from you, stuck in an unheatedpower like Jane, right, right,
right yeah that's probably whyyeah.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Do you like the infrared heat?
Oh?

Speaker 3 (53:11):
really Really why?
Well, I would prefer theinfrared heat to any other heat.
I'll say that.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
But you just do it like you don't like the heat, my
favorite practice.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
My favorite practice is is power on heated.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
That's interesting, I don't say it much, but I'm like
, all right, there's a cityvehicle right across the street.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
So there might be some, some more bark.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
So your dogs know the difference between city
vehicles and civilians?
No, but the city vehicles.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Obviously Making noise and you know hanging out
in front of our house, so what?

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I said maybe a man in a uniform.
I don't know if you call it.
Yeah, they're yellow tops.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
Fast, yeah, so we all have Susie for a few more
minutes.
Are there other things we wantto glean from?

Speaker 2 (54:05):
her.
Well, I want to hear about YogaNidra, though.
Did you like doing that?

Speaker 4 (54:09):
Yeah, I did like Yoga Nidra, so, even though I
practiced it, so I told you, Icopied the book and I wanted to
make sure that I gave everysection enough space.
Yes, so like I wanted to behere by six o'clock and here by
6.15 or whatever, so I wasconstantly looking ahead, but I

(54:29):
think, like I want to practiceYoga Nidra again.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
It's so cool.
It is such an awesomeexperience.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
It was hard to kind of read the room.
I could tell who really likedit, maybe one or two.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
I'm sure it was more than that.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
But I don't get much feedback usually anyway.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Well, especially after that class, because
everybody's so spaced out, yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
They're so noodle, yeah, and then you could hear
somebody who kept falling asleepand then would talk and wake up
.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Was it a man?

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Yes, we knew it, but I think it was good for them,
like it's good at least to justtry it and to lay still.
It's really hard to do that.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
And men are a little bit like dogs.
They got to eat and poop andhump your leg and then they
snooze.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
I mean, I hope that didn't all happen at Yoga Nidra.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Not to my knowledge.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
I was glad to see that the upcoming Inversions
workshop I think correct me ifI'm wrong is two hours instead
of an hour and a half, because Ialways felt like there was
never quite enough time by thetime you get started and wrap up
to have much practiceinstruction time.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yeah, two hours flies by, Isn't it?
It's kind of nuts.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
How long was Yin and Yoga Nidra.
I was the way for that, sorry.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
It was 90 minutes, so it was even a shorter Yin class
, which also felt weird becauseI didn't teach the usual.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Yeah, how long was Yoga Nidra?

Speaker 4 (56:14):
I did about 50 minutes and then pooped.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
That was chase.
Yeah, we didn't hear yourwhisper, joyce.
Whisper louder.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
That was James' idea.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Make it longer.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
To make it shorter.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
You're not listening, but that was the wrong idea.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Maybe AI will catch us.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Bad idea, James.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
I think I would do a heated Yin and then turn the
heat off or let some cool air in, and then you're good.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Or you're more like I mean, that would also be a
super cool part of theexperience, because you know how
great just when the door getsopened and you're that hot and a
little bit of air comes in,yeah, and then you can really
relax.
Listen to how my voice isgetting sort of sexy even as I
discuss this.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Sultry, sultry.
Do you have your extra smallnegligee on?

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Yes, let me put sausage on before I continue
this.
I'm going to need some ducttape or something, though
Actually, I'm going to call outmy friend, stacy Wessner.
She has some sort of event togo to where she might have a
strapless or something dress,and she sent me a picture of an
Amazon product Did you ever trythese?

(57:35):
And they were these littlenipple covers or little boob
picker uppers, and I'm like haveyou seen my tits?
Like no, I haven't tried thislittle thing.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
They look like chicken cutlets that's what
someone called them.
It's like a little Ava has itfor all the girls.
Wear it for homecoming.
It's got a little sticky, thatsort of lifts.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
It lifts it up and those cute little apples like
Joyce has.
I haven't looked at your boobs,susie, so I'm not sure, but for
honeydew sized boobies, thatstuff is hilarious.
And in fact, if anybody followsoh gosh, I can't think of her
name right now she does Likeshe'll on her Instagram.
She'll show like a supermodeland then she'll mimic it and it

(58:20):
is hilarious Like a Pinterestfails kind of thing.
I got to find her, though, andshout her out, because it's so
good.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
So, being the mother of a high school girl,
homecoming and prom are a littleover the top, aren't they?

Speaker 4 (58:36):
Yes, well, the homecoming proposals is
hilarious.
They already know who they'regoing with.
But Keso I saw it, I know,wasn't that cute.
So Ava loves Keso and she wasout to dinner with her boyfriend
and his family at a Mexicanrestaurant and it was his
sister's birthday.
So they sang Happy Birthday toMaya.

(58:58):
And then he grabbed the hat andput it on Ava and she had no
idea.
She's usually pretty good atlike figuring out when things
like that are going to happen,so they caught her off guard and
then the poster had a wholebunch of pictures of them and it
said OK, so leave it on.
It was cute.
And then all the staff held upthe sign.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah, it was cute.
Last year he did it atgymnastics right, he had all the
little girls.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
Yep, we had this whole plan.
I called her out and I had totalk to her about something, and
then he and his mom snuck backand each little girl held up
H-O-C-O question.
I think he had the questionmark and then he had flowers and
that was cute.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Vince missed his time , I know.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
I think that has to be intimidating for boys now.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
I know it's a lot of work.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Not for Vince, he would have been like that.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Oh my god, he would have like he would have made a
video or sang a song.
He would have been the best.
You're right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
And then he would have forgot that the whole point
was to ask you to go somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
Oh, it's not about me , that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Well, Suzy, I think our time with you is running out
because you have to go teach.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Like a melting ice cube right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Yes, thank you so much for talking to us.
I feel like we did a lot of thetalking.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
No, it's always.
I told you I don't like to talkthat much, so it works.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Well, you can come on anytime and let us talk, but
yet you joined us.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
So yeah, come on anytime and we'll talk at you
and about you and around you.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
We should post somewhere where people can ask
you guys questions and then youjust answer all the questions.
You don't have to interviewanyone.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Well, we have this idea box in the studio that I
can't open anymore, so there, Iknow you couldn't find the key
when I was no I have the key,it's just not opening anymore.
And there's like two or threekeys.
We just have to break it open.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
But I don't think, and the only suggestions we got
in there we're placed in thereby your husband.

Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
Vince Ketterer, Vincent James Broga.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Broga, you should have guys on the do yoga.
Hey, how about a podcast withguys?
How about an interview withVince?
There's probably more.
I haven't seen many love noteslately.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Oh, he left one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
this last week he was there a couple of weeks ago,
before I went away, I heard Ican't even remember if it was
Vince to James or James to Vince, but one of them was telling
the other that they looked kindof good had they been working
out, and I was like come on, itwas James to Vince.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
They do love each other.
Oh my gosh.
So weird they're embarrassed,but he texted Vince the other
day and just said I love you.
It made his day, Did you?

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
get that choice.
No, he doesn't text me to sayhe loves me.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Oh, that's sweet.
I love men doing that though.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Yes, well, vince talked to the Columbia football
team about telling your friendsthat you love them, like it's OK
to say that he's very, verygood at making people feel good.
He builds people up, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
And it's good that he takes that responsibility
seriously, because Vince is aman Like he's a very manly man.
So for somebody it's not likehe's a wimpy guy that kids are
going to be like.
I don't want to be like him.
Some kids might be thinking ifhe is that open with talking
about feelings, then it's OK.
Yeah, remember when the BudLight commercial made it OK to

(01:02:43):
say I love you man.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
When James and I get into any kind of argument or
whatever, a lot of times I'll belike just go ask Vince, then
Make him One time he was likeyou know who taught me this.
I'm like Vince, he's like no,my grandma Like go talk to Vince
, maybe they should havematching Halloween costumes.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
They should Tight.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
All right, I hate to cut her off, but she has to get
back to the classroom.
Thank you Suzy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
