Speaker 1 (00:00):
Danane, How are you on walking to score yourself eight
and a half?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Where is your room for improvement?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
I mean, should I swing my arms more in order
to get your heart right up?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No? No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
This isn't walking, no walking fitness for just walking.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You're walking, you're down, You're you're in d C. There's
people all over the place.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You're walking. It's a it's a it's a walking city.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Okay, and you're walking.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You're walking? What it will rate yourself?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Nine? Not oh? Nine? Always?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What could you improve?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I don't know the exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Exactly, Tyler, how are you on? Why are you? Are we?
Why do we still have the dogs?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Up?
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I just shared that photo on Facebook? Oh wasn't meant
for you to look at what?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How's your walking?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I say? I was picturing me by myself, not in
a crowded downtown space.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
No, no, no, But like you're in public where there's
people walking, then I'm considerate because I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I've told you before, like when I'm walking the dog
or walking the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, no, no, no, on a show, No, this is
these are you're you're downtown?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm not walking people are dancing. I might not even
use headphones. Downtown you can use headphones. You always have
to be alert, and I feel like.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Sometimes alert that's what you have eyes for.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I'd like to hear sirens and potential mugging cyclists. Yeah,
I know I'm not a perfect ten because we've talked
about how my running gate is so poor, so my
walking gate probably has issues as well.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, but does it alter? What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Are you walking like at a at a three and
then you become a two and then you're at a four?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Like is your gate like there's not a flow to
your walk?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I bet I walk too fast? Like it's unhealthy how
fast I walk?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh, I'm a fast walker also, But as long as
you're consistent, you're fine.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
As long as you're consistent, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
But when it comes to a crowd, if you're a
slow walker, that you're a problem.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, I agree, Well that's agree.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you're no, but not not consistently slow, okay, consistently
slow move.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh so you are also mean no, you're gonna stay right,
you can pass? Is this more like I'm not on
or walking the actual physiological No?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
No, I was reading this art how to be a
better walker, and I'm like, I know how to walk, says.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
If you spend any significant amount of time walking around
in public, one thing you will notice. It seems that
it's a lot of people's first day of walking.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That makes me laugh. Hey, fir, stay with the new hands.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That right when you said that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Some people can't get enough of walking directly down the
middle of a sidewalk. No, I'm it depends on I'm
out by the street.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If I'm going that way, then i'm over on the
other direction? Is coming closer to the building?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Is that right? Yeah? I know where I'm walking?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Sounds it a certain subset of walkers live to abruptly
stop without warning.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know what that gets you? You know what that
gets you?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Run over?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well, I'm not in a car, oh by people, Yeah,
I'll step on your heels.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I can't say that they stop?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh yeah no, that would drive me crazy. What nothing's
worse than the third subset? And my younger one used
to do this, people who inexplicably veer back and forth
in a serpentine fashion rather than walking in a straight
line like a normal person. My younger one used to
(03:48):
weave when he walks, not on purpose and not like
around No, but just like he'd start to venture over
a little bit and I kick him in the back.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Of the feet and trip him.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Nice trip him.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, thanks dad, learn learn how to walk seriously.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Without any context. You were distripping.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, he would he would. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The context is he would be walking and then just
kind of do this and he cut right in front
of me.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So i'd kick him or trip him, one of the two.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
But did you ever correct him and saying don't do that?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I would tell him all the time, how many times
are you going to fall before you realize?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Walk straight?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
So he understood why you were pushing him down, I.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Told him, But I'm sorry. I'm like, well, then walk
like a normal person.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Do we need to look at art support. Is there
something going on in terms of the biology.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, it's just not paying attention.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh so he was distracted by something and was veering
towards it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Life. I don't know, you know what he's not doing
walking straight? I haven't to him all the time I'm walking,
I'm walking straight. I do straight line. You ever look
at like a crack in the in the sidewalk and
you walk, You're like, my.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Foot is right there, bro right there, I'm not on
this side, and then on this side, and then.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
On this side. Oh I hope I'm going back and
forth on speakers.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Sounds like it was quite triggering for you.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's not fun tripping and shoving.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Your kid over unless you have a reason.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But you got to teach him.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So he'd be what score on the one to ten?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No back then, but he's got oh one one one.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
He was horrible. Geez, how many times do you have
to get tripped?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I didn't know that you were, so like, Okay, I'm
not walking walking, I'm the walk I don't think it's
hard to not cut somebody off, But why is it
a if you take these subsets of people. I don't
care if somebody walks down the center of the sidewalk,
I don't but I don't care if somebody does.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
But it can affect flow then going in their direction,
hit from both sides.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's on them.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Now when you're a part of the group that's trying
to also continue on at the pace you want to walk?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But or do I just not?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And I would I obviously I paid attention to my
kid because he's slamming in front of me. Do I
just but do I not pay enough attention to people's walking?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Like I just walked, well unless they get in your way,
why would you pay attention to that?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But like are people stopping in front of me? And
I just don't pay any attention And I'll just kind
of like like does it not bother me?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Where I'll just be walking to somebody stops. I just
got to do this. See how I did that?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
There?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But hey, I got it, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I feel like though I did grab a kid's head
this weekend. What well?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He came running out in front of me, and so
I was like whoa, and I kind of just moved
him aside, but I was going to hit him, so
I just with his head.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I just kind of moved him. Where was this at
the rink?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh you're skating?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
No? No, no.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I was walking by the other rink and some kid
came darting around the corner. And you know, he's a kid,
he's excited, he's going to go skate on the public
skate and so he came around.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I was like whoa, and so I just grabbed his
head and I moved him over.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
There seems okay, Yeah, I'm not hurting the kid. No,
But is there something on TikTok Diane where a guy
grades or shames walkers?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I haven't seen that. What's my hashtag? I guess. I
guess it could be Instagram. Maybe it's both. I don't know,
but I'm pretty sure you raided your walk. But it's
not like when the people ask the OnlyFans models to
rate their genitals. I think this guy finds people who
(07:28):
are doing what you describe.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, and he just barks out at him like you're
a two.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I don't know what the account is, but can I
ask this, because I've paid no attention to this?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Are people really bad walkers?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
We know there's road rage, right, people cut each other
off in the roads. Do that?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And I get you're a shoulder bump away from getting
your ass kicked crossing the streets sometimes I get that,
But just in general, are people that pussy about?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Do I just not care enough about walk?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Or do you not do enough of it?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The no no downtown, I'll walk.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Kristen writes bad walker here.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
The you're a bad walker? Are you really? Oh? Turn
yourself on?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Is it like a sun. I wonder what she's doing distracted.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Kristin, What are you doing? Turn yourself on?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
There you are my headsets, the wires all whacked out.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Sorry it stuck.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Whatever. Yeah, there you go, get through it.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
The oh, I'm like, she's gonna hold it like she's
singing Hello.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Hello, she's in the vocal booth.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Hello. What is the Why are you a bad walker?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I trip over myself every day?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Do you really?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Not on purpose? Diane has seen it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But you know what, crocs. No, I could be barefoot
and you just trip. So you'll be walking down the street. Yep,
and you'll just.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Trip crossing this tree?
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Did it this morning?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The are you serious?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Did you follow in the street?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
No?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I just trip?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Like I met up with Kristin on Friday night and
you walked from Metro Center for about four blocks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah. Did you trip during that?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
No? At a girl good night?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That is a girl? Good for you?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And I remember I think it was in sixth grade
or seventh.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay you're a child, now you're an adult.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
No, this one I read very vividly, remember because I
was trying I have shorter legs than my friends, and
I was trying to like keep.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Up with them, right, So you're walking faster? Yes, and
I know who you're talking to.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Righting up the stairs and I fell on my face.
The books went everywhere, and I have a lot of
bruises from when I go that's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That is embarrassing. Okay, but you should be able to
walk now, but you can't.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Great point?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
All right? Where are my grabbing line? Won? Hi Elliott
in the morning?
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Good morning? Hi?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Who's that?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
This is Jennifer?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, what can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
I think it's an ADHD thing. But I was going
to say the same as Kristen. I eat it all
the time, like I curbs and crack. Yesterday I was
walking on my own driveway and one of the pieces
of concrete its shifted a little bit. Didn't notice, totally
almost ate it right on my own driveway. I think
(10:34):
I'm just distracted, like I'm not focused on walking and
what I'm walking on And.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But what what has you distracted?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Like everything?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
I like it's an ADHD.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
You're just constantly thinking about everything and anything but not walking.
Why would I think about walking?
Speaker 9 (10:54):
That's so dumb.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It sounds like you should. It sounds like you should.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I know are you a middle so really terrible wait
where I don't understand the curb thing, like are you
are you a curb faller?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Well, sometimes you don't.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Even notice there's a curve there or or a drop.
I don't know, were you or you misjudge steep it
is or how far you need to step down?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I'm sorry you misjudged the curb.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So like, well, first of all, you don't so you're
you're coming to what appears to be a cross street
and you don't and you.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Know you're on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You don't think like, oh there's not not cognitive not
cognitively because we've all been there. But you don't go like, oh,
there's a curb in three, I'm gonna mess this up,
Like you know where it is. You kind of adjust
your your your pace a little bit.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:48):
Maybe I'm looking at lights, you know, street lights. Maybe
I'm looking at people. I don't know's I have definitely
fallen many, many, many times.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I would laugh so hard.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
I mean yeah, I mean once you realize, you're okay.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
But my son is definitely one of those serpentine walkers.
Oh place, the place I noticed that the most is
at the airport.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yes, yes, oh my god, hey a and.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Stay with us right here? Why can't you just stay
with us?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Can I ask you this though, like, do you and
I don't know, maybe this makes me a bad parent?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Do you trip him and push him over?
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Not?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Usually only because if we're at the airport, I'm trying
to get somewhere. And yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How about concourse at Capital One Arena.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I definitely shoved him over there? All right, very good,
very good, thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Now he's much better as a walker now, yeah, as
he's grown out of it.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, I don't want you to think I'm still tripping
a teenage.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Would be That was IRI's man complaint with walkers, like
pretend as if you want to get there, let's beat
it up.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, oh, I'm with you, let's move.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
But everyone seems to have a complaint. So I guess
as a society.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
We are, but.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I assume we were good walkers.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Chris says the worst are the do dedoers in parking
lots that just walk in the middle of the lanes
and act like there are no cars.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Now, the only, the only no no no no no.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'm bad about cutting between cars.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The oh to get back to your car. I see
what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, I'm not going to the end of a row.
I treat it like a street, like I'm not going
to the crosswalk. The No.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
No. The only time that sometimes you have to be
careful is if somebody's backing out, Well, then you you
you got to go around them, or I guess you
stop and wait till they pull out.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
But then it depends on what the traffic looks like.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Oh, you know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, people walk down the middle of the eise. I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I don't mind that honestly, but move. Like if you're
walking down the middle of the aisle right we're target Yeah,
and I'm parked and you're walking up the middle of
the aisle to get to your car, and I have
backed out and I need to drive, then you need
to move. I don't care if you walk in the
middle of an aisle, but if there's a car.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Move There shouldn't be a line of cars waiting on
you to get to the store.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Don't you can be in the middle, But the second
you see there's a vehicle that you're going to interact
with Move to the.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Sommit it's coming up behind you. Attention.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I guess I know if there's a car behind me.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Not when you have your AirPods, I'm a good walker.
Do you wear your AirPods in the stores?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, you seem like the type there would.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I'll where those. I'll wear like headphones in there. Yeah,
what do I care? I'm not done, but I'm just
going in there to shop. And if I have them
in and somebody like I have to talk to someone, yeah,
I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh I'm sorry how much? And put it right back in.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I know feel like you may suck at walking. I'm
good at walking, but you've identify with a lot of
these problems. No, I don't digest them or talk about
how I have to walk faster because you're shorter.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, you should move.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, but Christmas making it sound like, oh, she's got
shorter legs, so do Why but I still know how
to walk.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I make it to curbs.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Is that serpentine walk? Is that commonly a first sign
of ADHD?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I've I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I've never because I should be zig zagging right like
I should be walking like the snipers are still on
the run. Remember that you used to have to get
gas going back and forth like that? Remember Sam dove
under his car very real concern. Yes, no, I know,
but that's how my son walks used.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
To without like he's avoiding the snipers.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yes, line eight, Hi Elliott the morning?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Is this me?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Who's ass Hi? Yes?
Speaker 10 (15:53):
So I'm lasting the whole time because I walk into people,
Like if someone walking next to me, I start walking
into that, Or if I'm walking down a hallway and
someone's walking like, they'll move to the side and then
I'll move right in front of them. So I usually
(16:14):
just have to stop and then let them walk around
me and then continue walking because I'm like, I'm sorry,
I'm stupid.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But wait, do you so you're cognizant of the fact
that you're a serpentine walker? Can you find a line
and just like make sure your left foot is always
on it?
Speaker 10 (16:37):
No, not at all?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Have you trouble? Can I make a suggestion? Have you
tried tai chi walking?
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Never heard of it?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
O get that tai chi walking? So tai chi walking?
Have you heard of tai chi?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
So when you thank you when you walk. When you
walk here, I'm let me give you a lesson when
you walk.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
When you walk, you're really falling forward and your foot
catches you right. And then when I when I go
to this lake, I propel myself forward, I'm falling.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
This foot catches me. I propel myself forward. I'm falling.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
This one catches a strange way to think of walking,
But that's what it is. Stopping yourself from falling.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
That's all it is, because you propel yourself forward here.
Why see I propel myself forward. If I don't put
this foot down.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
I fall.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Just never heard it described that way.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Tai chi walking. Go ahead, you were interrupt.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I'm just gonna ask. Then what's the tai chiet angle?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh you didn't think I was gonna get to it.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
The tai chi is it's too busy preventing himself from falling.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Instead of propelling yourself forward and then catching yourself with
that new lead foot.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
All your weight is on.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Your back lay, which has been propelling you. So now
it's on your back lay.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
And then you set this foot down, transfer weight here,
pick this foot up, and then transfer weight here.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Why did you have to grab the console of her balance.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I fell, then you and then you you transfer instead
of propelling.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
All your weight is here. It's like, now it's.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
A little bit slower, Burl, I'm walking down the street
like you're proud.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And then move your hands with it.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
That's not going to attract attention. Do you have to
walk that slow? Can you get better at it?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I don't know how you would walk fast? What?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What? Why are your hands out like that? It's almost
it's like half jazz hands.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No, no, because you're supposed to also lead with your hand.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I'm here, I'm here, I got my weight here.
Speaker 11 (18:40):
I'm gonna put my left foot down, but I lead
with my left hand.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I lead with my right hand. I lead with my
left hand.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
So is this electical or is this an exercise?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Hey, lady, close your ears for her. She should be
doing this non stop. Is it practical for her? Yes,
she's not running into She has to stop in the
middle of walking because she's hitting people.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
All right, Chi, I feel like I would look like
an idiot walking around the street like that. Lead with hand.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I feel like you look like an idiot running into people.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
Okay, well, but now you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (19:21):

Are you sure you're doing it right?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, I'm not tired.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm not an expert in tai chi. Watch some YouTube
videos and learn how to do it. But it does
say the with the hand, and you do.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Kind of have to turn step, pull up, turn step. Yeah,
look at him.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Okay, now it looks better on this guy.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well, no kidding, he's also like a tai chi yogi

Speaker 3 (20:20):
But does he ever walk? Oh? He's walking for it now.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
It is certainly unique.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, Chris and almost fell but that is yeah, but
that is now I don't you're also gonna get hey
move jackass, you're gonna get that. But that's when you
turn around and when you lea with that hand, they
think that you're into martial arts.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh so chi?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, so they'd be fit for afraid of you?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, I think they would understand, or they would be
like this guy's obviously practicing tai chi.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Let's you know, he's a peaceful man.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
So these instructions said, First, soften your knee and shift
all your weight onto your right leg.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, that's right here.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
We can pick up your left leg and place it
gently in front of you. Heel first, right, Slowly pour
all your way into the left leg before lifting the
right heel. Lead with your hand, then the entire leg,
and step forward without relying on any momentum.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
As you move, aim to keep your body upright.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well, what am I gonna do? Bend over like this?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, imagine balancing. Imagine balancing a tea cup on top
of your head.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Oh oh, that's like you gotta be Ramrod for this.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
After two to four steps, you should be familiar with
the movement.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It ain't hard people, I tie chie walk you go?
Where am I going?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Line?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Too? Hi? Elli d the morning?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Hi, who's this?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Is Andy from Richmond. How you doing?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Dude calling?
Speaker 10 (22:08):
Oh God, Dag.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
We get to the Christis, let me get to you
to talk to you, and finally I have to talk
to Yell. I'm a walker. I walk every day at work.
I'm walking right now. I have my damn pinky toe
amputatoes about four months ago. From what I'm telling you,
I had pa D It's an arguery disease. I had
to have some stents, four stents put in me. Oh,
(22:29):
and amputated my toe because I wasn't getting no blood
floats on my legs. So my toe turned black. Dan Green, dude, yeah,
chopping it off? Man, So are you good?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
So did that jack up? You always hear like they've
always said.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Like in evolution, people try to figure out what will
be the next thing to go, and people always save
the little toe.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But then they're like, no, it'll mess up balance. How's
your balance?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Does it stuck? I get I talked to the right
all time. Now it's like I'm trying to learn. I'm walking.
That's what I was calling to say. Oh no, ridiculous, man. Yeah,
people don't realize how pinky toe does balance.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
You.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
It does, and it's hard to relearn how to mean.
It took me about a month so I don't fall
all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Now are you serious?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
That's serious? I was out of work for six months.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Man, Hey, are you a Are you a serpentine walker?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Or you just fall?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
I just fall sometimes, like I'll start lean into the
right and my pinky toe won't grab me because you've
got that pinky toe what's on your left foot? Right?
But it really does hold you down. When I don't
have one while and I lean to the right, I
can fall all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Would it be better then, would it be better if
we lost the ring toe?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I think one of the middle toes would be better
than your pinky I know your vigo. If you lose
your big toe, it is your balance toe. Yeah, it's
really hard. My high school teacher, he was a wrestling coach.
He got his big toe cut off by lawnmower and
it took him a long time to get back to walking.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, no, I have heard that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right, Very good, very good. I appreciate it, Thank you, sir,
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
So the times Diane's being a pasitive aggressive and we
refer to her as pad right aggressive people think that
she's suffering from peripheral artery disease. Oh my god, what's
up with Diane's circulation.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
There's so mean to her.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's out of her control. That sucks, though, But it
sounds like he's doing better.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Do you feel like and listen, he's the only guy
I know, right, I've never lost a pinky toe. But
don't you feel like if you lost a pinky toe,
don't you feel like you would have mastered walking again
within six months? And again, I'm gonna say, up until
talking to him, I would have said absolutely, like I'm
walking in a day.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Don't don't People a lot of times get like an
insert for their shoe to almost mimic like the to's
still there, like like.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Piece of paper.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
No, like just a big fake toe. Not even like
a big.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Fake toe, but almost like an insert where the where
the toes that you do have go in, but it
sort of balances it out.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, you mean like a lift, like like a wedge
on that side of the shoe, so it's almost like
leaning in.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
No, just it's almost like, so here's here's my four
toes right right, imagine pinky's gone, and then it's sort
of a little insert that you put it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
In so that my foot might might so you put
it up.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Against it exactly, they'll balance. Maybe I found a zombie toe.
I think this is for like a Halloween table.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Hi Elliott in the morning, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (25:47):
I've got to cut off. I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
We all adjust differently.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
How'd you lose yours? You have pad?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
No, it just hurt really badly and I was just
done with it, and I just I just wanted to
cut off at that point. It hurts so bad.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I don't think that's how I worked.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Which surgeon did that? Because you were just done with it?
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Well, well, well, because I was having issues A long
story short, I donated a kidney and I got really
bad yuric acid uric acid issues from it, and I
would deal with like really bad inflammation and certain joints.
Is that county?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Is that gas?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Pretty much?
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Pretty much? I don't from drinking and stuff. I just
got it because I donated a kidney to my stupid mother, stupid.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Old bad.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
So now so so so because it was so bad,
you went to the doctor and you were like, hey,
get the get this toe off, and they took it.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
Off and they took it off like they weren't.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
It was.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
It was just a problem that just kept getting worse.
And the doctor was like, you know, good, remove it,
and I was like, man, how much time you got, Like,
let's let's do it. It was really funny too, because
it was like the kind of uh anesthegia they do
where you're like awake and I was so I said
such horribly inappropriate things apparently that.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wow, yeah, that's amazing, that is amazing.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Oh my god, but I have I had like a
little bit of a bad funny thing is is I
was actually a terrible walker prior to having it cut off,
because like I am an idiot as well. But since that,
maybe it's just because subconsciously I have to think a
little bit more about walking now. Maybe maybe yeah, interesting, interesting, all.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right, very good, Thank you, sir, Thank you. A lot
of people have.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Lost toes in the last five minutes. That wasn't even
part of the original story. And also every walker in
your stories from tight sheets of being better walker, they
had all.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Ten, they had all ten. I will say this, don't
buy your nails. I will say this when.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I oh, no, she's well, can't say anymore because that's
bullying because it's misleading.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
No, if we say you're passive aggressive, Diane be like
she's bad, and they'll be like, oh my god, our circulation.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
The I if I ever have to.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Have a toe removed, I don't want essentially the same
as when I get my wisdom teeth removed, Like put
me out.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, they're sawing you. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I was gonna say, for an amputation, I would think
put me out, Yeah, put me out?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
What other amputations? Do you not need to be fully under?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, I mean you're not fully under for your foreskin.
That's true. They don't put you under for that. No,
it's true.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I guess I don't need to search it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
