Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can we go after nineteen eighty place? Those are good times? Boy?
Was I thin? You know, really in good shaped haan
young man, long hair. Ah. By the way, I stepped
on the scale this morning, and as they used to
say in the Hardy Boy books, I uttered an oath?
Holy cow? What do you attribute that to? Eating like
a state fair hog?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Mostly I just like the fact that I and other
people can you know, eat more than normal and think
somehow you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Slip it by the scale.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's just like it's not gonna catch it.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I've had a very good attitude lately about eating and

couple of pops in at a really good Mexican place.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And you said, I better just have a salad.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Watching anyway, Oh more than three or four of these
delicious tortilla chips with fresh made salsa. Yeah, I'm just
gonna have a just a little nibble or two. No,
I ate like I was starving, with the utterly inevitable result.
But you know what, I ate like I was starving.

(02:22):
I was pretty hungry. But oh no, no, no, Joseph, no,
