Speaker 1 (00:00):
When were we talking about Alan Greenspan's bathing earlier this week?
(00:04):
So that was early this week, right, And I was convinced,
there is nobody, nobody that listens.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
To this show that starts their day with a bath.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I was wrong. I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
There are actually quite a few of you who start
your day with a bath.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Still makes no sense to me, but you know what,
to each their own.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I found a new thing that there is nobody listening
to this show that does this, which is so most
people are what's the word when you just sit all
day sedentary? Most people are sedentary all day, right, So
now listen, you may be let's let's exclude some people who,
you know, if your job is, like you're in construction
(00:46):
and you're out, you know, like working all day, that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Obviously I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
If you're in the military and you're out doing your
thing all day, obviously I'm not talking to you. But
the majority of people, the overwhelming majority of people, are
sedentary almost day. You get up, you get your routine going,
you get in the car, You sit in the car.
That could be thirty minutes, that could be an hour,
that could be two hours. You get to work. You
sit at your desk and you're there. You may get
(01:11):
up for lunch. You may get up and go get
a cup of coffee, yeah, and then come back. And
how long does that take you? A minute, right to
get to the coffee machine and come back. Maybe it's
got a brew, it's a minute and a half, whatever
it is, if you've got a carring or something.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
But by and large, you're.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Sedentary eleven twelve hours of the day, right between driving
and sitting. Listen, I'm no different. I sit in a
stool and so or in the office in a chair.
Is there anybody listening to the show who says, aha,
not me. I get up every hour and spend at
(01:47):
least five minutes walking, I'll answer no, Oh see I would.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I would expect more people to do that than take
a bath in the morning, to.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Get up every hour and walk for five minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Again, maybe not five minutes exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
No, no, no, but that's that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's where I am not getting up up and take a.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Piss, go to the kitchen, go to the kitchen, that
go to another person's desk. You it has to be
an actual dedicated five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Are walking for five minutes and you're not power walking.
We're not you know, we're you're walking. Yeah, you're and
I don't want to say like you're getting steps.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
In or whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Maybe maybe that's how some people count them. But you're walking.
And again, it's not like you said, you're not walking
over to Diane's desk just to go, hey, did you
hear some gossip?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That doesn't count. You are walking again. Going to the
bathroom doesn't count. That's a minute to get there, a
minute to get back. You probably sat while you were
in there. That doesn't count. Who literally get up and
walk five minutes an hour?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I still think you can find.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Zero chance Christen eight six six too, Elliott, Well you
you're not gonna talk to anybody eight six sixth Elliott
eight six six two three five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
They said it is one of the best things you
can do.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know if it's every hour on the hour,
but and you you may be aware of this.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Does Caruso take walks around the building.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I've seen him out on his phone, like out by
the parking garage, like when I'm leaving, like he'll he'll
be kind of like where that entrance to P one is.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, Caruso.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I saw him yesterday taking a walk in the middle
of the day when I was leaving, and it definitely
surprised me.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't think he's like like, I gotta not be sedentary.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I think there's a couple of things going on.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Or is that just him seeking a private place to
have a phone call.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I think number one. I mean it's a loud pike.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, how is that probably?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, but he doesn't have to worry about other salespeople hearing.
And by the way, you know he's not on with clients.
He's probably on with his wife or something like that,
or the other thing he does. I think also part
of it is so he's not When I say he's
not just sitting at his desk, I don't mean he's
getting up and exercising. I think that that way, like
he's hoping, like Aaron's like, oh, Caruso must be meeting
(04:10):
with a.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Client, as if he's leaving, Yeah, like like, oh.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I have a meeting on the on the I gotta
go see a client.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
So he's not walking, he's hiding, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, like when he'll come in here and bother you
for a half hour or he'll.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Come into the office and borrow bother me for a
half hour and then if Aaron, then if he sees Aaron.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Ergo where have you been? And he's like, oh, you know,
I had a meeting. I had a face to face FtF.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But chatting with someone in the office is not exercise.
No even walking over to get to them. He was
walking outside the perimeter of our building, so you think
he walks a circle around. That's why I was asking,
there's no way there's.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Look at it. Where's he going hiding? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I just noticed he looked awful tan lately.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, because he's standing outside. Yeah, he's hiding from Aaron.
And that's why Aeron will say he was like, oh,
head an outdoor meeting, lunch meeting.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's sat on the patio.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
All right, I'm sorry I brought him up.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
These people don't walk get out of here. Here come
the liars. Hi yo En in the morning.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
My name is my shift at a factory, and we
have a desposition that monitors the process, and I have
a coworker. Anytime he works the desk, he is insanely
into fitness and he has an hour alarm, and he
will get up. He'll do burpies, push up, jumping jack.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh oh, are you saying that doesn't count because he's
not walking? Buries Jesus.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But he sets it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He literally sets an alarm on his phone to make
sure that he gets up and gets in exercise every hour.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yep, he is religious about it. He is insanely into fitness.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Do I do I envy that?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
No? You don't want to be that guy?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No, I definitely no. I'm not that guy. No, not
that guy.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The no, you don't get up at all.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
It also doesn't count because I don't have to. That
guy is not the listener.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yeah, that's true. Listener, No listener, no listener.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
All right, very good. Hey, thank you, biggin? Where am
I going?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I don't know if he's a biggin.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He answered that by going home, not me.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Mine two?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Hi elliot in the morning.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Hey, yes, hi, who is this? Corrections answers every hour?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh see, okay, that's built in the job.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's built into the job.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, I mean, hey, you know, every every hour, every
thirty and twenty nine minutes you're doing around?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
How long is your round?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Fifteen?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, that counts, that counts, but that no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I thought he was going to say every twenty nine minutes,
and I walked for one and I was going to
write that off. But that's built in. That's like if
you were construction, you have no choice. So corrections, officer.
I get it, like you're you're out doing your patrol.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I can't count that. You're not.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You're not the sedentary all day. Leave a phone lie
open for the sedentary people. All right, dude, I appreciate it,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Sir, Thank you. Where am I going? Line five? Hi?
Elliott the morning? Yeah? Hi, who's this? No chance?
Speaker 7 (07:34):
This is Phil.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I work at George Mason University as a boiler.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Operator and every hour I have to do meter rounds,
which takes me about five to ten minutes required walking.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is required job walking.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Well, I mean you can choose to do the do
the rounds or not.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Okay, but then you get.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Only had two explosions.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
All right, very good, thank you, thank you so far.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
OHI you're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Nobody again. That's all, Diane, don't shake ahead. I have
fad all that is all force part of the job.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I have faith in our fitness obsessed listeners.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like it's not part of Caruso's job to go to
go hide?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Where am I going?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Line too?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think Cruse is going to be mad.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The who cares like the spot Hi Elliot the morning, Hello, Yeah, Hi,
Hu's this?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Oh hey?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I get up Like I used to go to work
and I would literally sit there for probably about eight hours.
I was very sedentary for a couple of years from
my job position. Since January, I've lost like eighty five
pounds and I'm making a point to get up and
move around for five to ten minutes, probably about every hour.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
There we go on one right, hold on, hold on, no,
Actually you know what? So they did they did this
whole study, right, and they were asking people just because
we as a whole lead a very sedentary lifestyle, right,
And so they did this study where they took they
took people and they put them into three groups and
(09:21):
the one group was thirty minutes, one group was an hour,
and one group was two hours. And they said you
are going to walk five minutes, depending either every thirty minutes,
every hour, or every two hours. And they wanted to
see what the results were. And so the results. This
is out of the Journal of Sports Medicine. They so like,
(09:44):
like I said, they did it every third Now it
was on them. They weren't getting reminders, they weren't getting
they weren't getting updates, they weren't getting notifications that you
have to get up and walk. You committed to it
and you had to do it. And what they wanted
to see is what the results were from this study.
And they talked about people who did the five minute
(10:04):
walk on every interval. They found that they would they
felt energized, they felt like not smarter, but like alert,
more alert, yeah, and let obviously less fatigue, and that
they were moved. They actually felt better as the day
went on, and by the end of the day they
(10:24):
weren't like, oh my foup has really weighed me down
and I'm lazy. That they felt good. So they took
those three groups. But here's the other thing. They found
that if you were in the group that said I'm
going to do it every half hour and this went
on for a couple of weeks, right, yeah, so that
what they found is people that were doing at every
half hour, those people fell out because it's too much
(10:47):
to go like yeah, like oh, my god, I got
to get up again.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh christ I got to get.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Up again, and just sat I got to get up again.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then they would be in the middle of something
and they would just forget. And that's kind of the
same thing when you get to that two hour march
or even they even pointed out, once you get into
that hour and a half two hour mark, you forget.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's like, so you do have to set a reminder?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
When did I?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, no, because remember none of these people were allowed
to set reminders. None of these people were getting notification.
It's just not regular enough, right, So two hours they
were like, I don't know what time I walked.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Hell, and now the day's gone.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So they found that for it to be where there's
still benefits of.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Doing it every ninety minutes or two hours.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes, but you don't remember, like if you got up
and walked at nine. Let's say, like you got to
work at eight, you got up, you walked for five
minutes at nine, and you were like, all right, between
ten thirty and eleven, you forget. Like you get in
the middle of a project, you get in the middle
of something, you're not moving things around or whatever, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You get there at nine nine to thirty, you haven't
even settled in yet, Like I haven't even taken a
dump on company time, and like caught up on what
everybody did yesterday. It's too quick, so you push it off,
You push it off, you push it off. They said,
But the hour is the sweet spot that once an
hour people can go. And it's also easier again if
you do it every hour at the same time. I
(12:09):
don't know how realistic that is, but if you said
at seven fifteen, eight fifteen, nine to fifteen, ten to fifteen,
that in your head that's easier than going okay, I
walked at seven fifteen, that means eight fifteen, eight forty five.
It's the math is too hard, right, Not that it's
too hard. Everybody in here is capable of doing the math,
but it's not on a regular cadence. Ninety minutes is
(12:33):
not a regular cadence. Two hours is not a regular cadence.
So they said that one hour window is actually a
sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So that one guy, by the way, what did he say,
lost eighty forty pounds.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Oh, that's very proud of him for that since January too,
But he.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Was still he admitted it's not every hour.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, no, it's ninety minutes. But at least at least
he's being religious with it. So I'm gonna start walking.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This isn't though, you can't. If you miss an hour,
you can't walk ten to make up for it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right, No, just if you miss like let's say you
were you were on the every hour thing, right and
you missed your ten am walk, which sounds pathetic, but
you missed your ten am walk.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Just pick up again at eleven.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Now, how's the emotional health when you're bullied by your colleagues?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
This was just studying alertness and fatigue, and it gets you,
gets you going, gets the blood moving.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And again you don't have to run, you don't have
to power walk. Just get up and walk.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Starting tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, no, I'm not gonna walk during Where am I
walking during the show. Let's sit like it, Oh like
I always do.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh, we don't have time.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Say you do a commercial, right, but that is at
its longest, it's five minutes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I know, play a little music.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Ben, Where am I walking?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Well, it didn't say you have to have a destination.
You could do loops.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, we can just go walk the hallways.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm just walking in here.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
There's no dead ends in the suite, right the No,
you can walk.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I can just go outside and just walk around the studio.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
All right, all right, you're at ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
By the way, my legs are getting little tired. So
how does that help with fatigue?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Billy?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It's more tired.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
No, but it'll make me feel better, is it? Go now,
look at me now that I sat down. Now I
feel good.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It'll be great tomorrow in the nine o'clock hour when
you can barely hold your head up.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I'm too tired from all my walking.
When were we talking about Alan Greenspan's bathing earlier this week?

It's sat on the patio.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
All right, I'm sorry I brought him up.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
These people don't walk get out of here. Here come
the liars. Hi yo En in the morning.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
My name is my shift at a factory, and we
have a desposition that monitors the process, and I have
a coworker. Anytime he works the desk, he is insanely
into fitness and he has an hour alarm, and he
will get up. He'll do burpies, push up, jumping jack.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh oh, are you saying that doesn't count because he's
not walking? Buries Jesus.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But he sets it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He literally sets an alarm on his phone to make
sure that he gets up and gets in exercise every hour.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yep, he is religious about it. He is insanely into fitness.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Do I do I envy that?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
No? You don't want to be that guy?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No, I definitely no. I'm not that guy. No, not
that guy.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The no, you don't get up at all.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
It also doesn't count because I don't have to. That
guy is not the listener.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yeah, that's true. Listener, No listener, no listener.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
All right, very good. Hey, thank you, biggin? Where am
I going?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I don't know if he's a biggin.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He answered that by going home, not me.
Speaker 5 (06:31):

Speaker 2 (06:33):

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Hey, yes, hi, who is this? Corrections answers every hour?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh see, okay, that's built in the job.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's built into the job.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, I mean, hey, you know, every every hour, every
thirty and twenty nine minutes you're doing around?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
How long is your round?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Fifteen?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, that counts, that counts, but that no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I thought he was going to say every twenty nine minutes,
and I walked for one and I was going to
write that off. But that's built in. That's like if
you were construction, you have no choice. So corrections, officer.
I get it, like you're you're out doing your patrol.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I can't count that. You're not.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You're not the sedentary all day. Leave a phone lie
open for the sedentary people. All right, dude, I appreciate it,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Sir, Thank you. Where am I going? Line five? Hi?

Speaker 6 (07:34):
I work at George Mason University as a boiler.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Operator and every hour I have to do meter rounds,
which takes me about five to ten minutes required walking.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is required job walking.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Well, I mean you can choose to do the do
the rounds or not.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Okay, but then you get.
Speaker 4 (07:58):

Speaker 5 (08:05):
OHI you're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Nobody again. That's all, Diane, don't shake ahead. I have
fad all that is all force part of the job.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I have faith in our fitness obsessed listeners.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like it's not part of Caruso's job to go to
go hide?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Where am I going?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Line too?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think Cruse is going to be mad.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The who cares like the spot Hi Elliot the morning, Hello, Yeah, Hi,
Hu's this?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Oh hey?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I get up Like I used to go to work
and I would literally sit there for probably about eight hours.
I was very sedentary for a couple of years from
my job position. Since January, I've lost like eighty five
pounds and I'm making a point to get up and
move around for five to ten minutes, probably about every hour.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
There we go on one right, hold on, hold on, no,
Actually you know what? So they did they did this
whole study, right, and they were asking people just because
we as a whole lead a very sedentary lifestyle, right,
And so they did this study where they took they
took people and they put them into three groups and
(09:21):
the one group was thirty minutes, one group was an hour,
and one group was two hours. And they said you
are going to walk five minutes, depending either every thirty minutes,
every hour, or every two hours. And they wanted to
see what the results were. And so the results. This
is out of the Journal of Sports Medicine. They so like,
(09:44):
like I said, they did it every third Now it
was on them. They weren't getting reminders, they weren't getting
they weren't getting updates, they weren't getting notifications that you
have to get up and walk. You committed to it
and you had to do it. And what they wanted
to see is what the results were from this study.
And they talked about people who did the five minute
(10:04):
walk on every interval. They found that they would they
felt energized, they felt like not smarter, but like alert,
more alert, yeah, and let obviously less fatigue, and that
they were moved. They actually felt better as the day
went on, and by the end of the day they
(10:24):
weren't like, oh my foup has really weighed me down
and I'm lazy. That they felt good. So they took
those three groups. But here's the other thing. They found
that if you were in the group that said I'm
going to do it every half hour and this went
on for a couple of weeks, right, yeah, so that
what they found is people that were doing at every
half hour, those people fell out because it's too much
(10:47):
to go like yeah, like oh, my god, I got
to get up again.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh christ I got to get.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Up again, and just sat I got to get up again.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then they would be in the middle of something
and they would just forget. And that's kind of the
same thing when you get to that two hour march
or even they even pointed out, once you get into
that hour and a half two hour mark, you forget.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's like, so you do have to set a reminder?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
When did I?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, no, because remember none of these people were allowed
to set reminders. None of these people were getting notification.
It's just not regular enough, right, So two hours they
were like, I don't know what time I walked.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Hell, and now the day's gone.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So they found that for it to be where there's
still benefits of.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Doing it every ninety minutes or two hours.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes, but you don't remember, like if you got up
and walked at nine. Let's say, like you got to
work at eight, you got up, you walked for five
minutes at nine, and you were like, all right, between
ten thirty and eleven, you forget. Like you get in
the middle of a project, you get in the middle
of something, you're not moving things around or whatever, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You get there at nine nine to thirty, you haven't
even settled in yet, Like I haven't even taken a
dump on company time, and like caught up on what
everybody did yesterday. It's too quick, so you push it off,
You push it off, you push it off. They said,
But the hour is the sweet spot that once an
hour people can go. And it's also easier again if
you do it every hour at the same time. I
(12:09):
don't know how realistic that is, but if you said
at seven fifteen, eight fifteen, nine to fifteen, ten to fifteen,
that in your head that's easier than going okay, I
walked at seven fifteen, that means eight fifteen, eight forty five.
It's the math is too hard, right, Not that it's
too hard. Everybody in here is capable of doing the math,
but it's not on a regular cadence. Ninety minutes is
(12:33):
not a regular cadence. Two hours is not a regular cadence.
So they said that one hour window is actually a
sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So that one guy, by the way, what did he say,
lost eighty forty pounds.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Oh, that's very proud of him for that since January too,
But he.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Was still he admitted it's not every hour.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, no, it's ninety minutes. But at least at least
he's being religious with it. So I'm gonna start walking.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This isn't though, you can't. If you miss an hour,
you can't walk ten to make up for it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right, No, just if you miss like let's say you
were you were on the every hour thing, right and
you missed your ten am walk, which sounds pathetic, but
you missed your ten am walk.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Just pick up again at eleven.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Now, how's the emotional health when you're bullied by your colleagues?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
This was just studying alertness and fatigue, and it gets you,
gets you going, gets the blood moving.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And again you don't have to run, you don't have
to power walk. Just get up and walk.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Starting tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, no, I'm not gonna walk during Where am I
walking during the show. Let's sit like it, Oh like
I always do.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh, we don't have time.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Say you do a commercial, right, but that is at
its longest, it's five minutes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I know, play a little music.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Ben, Where am I walking?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Well, it didn't say you have to have a destination.
You could do loops.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, we can just go walk the hallways.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm just walking in here.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
There's no dead ends in the suite, right the No,
you can walk.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I can just go outside and just walk around the studio.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
All right, all right, you're at ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
By the way, my legs are getting little tired. So
how does that help with fatigue?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Billy?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It's more tired.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
No, but it'll make me feel better, is it? Go now,
look at me now that I sat down. Now I
feel good.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It'll be great tomorrow in the nine o'clock hour when
you can barely hold your head up.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I'm too tired from all my walking.
