What started as a few moms getting together for movement and connection has grown into one of Wilmington’s fastest-growing postpartum fitness communities.

On this episode of Whiskey & Wisdom, Chris Kellum and Tyler Yaw sit down with Brooke Pereira, founder of The Mamalates Group, to talk about motherhood, postpartum fitness, community building, and helping moms feel less alone after having kids.

Brooke shares how mommy-and-me Pilates classes, stroller workouts, and weekly walks turned into a movement bringing together dozens of moms across Wilmington — including a recent event with nearly 90 attendees.

The conversation dives into:

• Postpartum fitness struggles
• Building community after motherhood
• Making gyms less intimidating for moms
• “Babes and Barbells” at Lakeside
• Starting imperfectly
• Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship
• Brooke’s vision for coaching and online programs

Whether you’re a parent, fitness enthusiast, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build meaningful community, this episode delivers practical insight and honest conversation.

Welcome back to the Whiskey and Wisdom podcast.

I'm your host- Chris.

3

Huh?

4

You're throwing me off.

5

Why?

6

You looked at me like, "Go,"

and I was like, "Whoa."

7

I was like, "Where are

we, where are we looking?"

8

Right?

9

No, I'm just here to mess everything up.

10

Go ahead.

11

You can start.

12

Okay.

13

Welcome back- … to the Whiskey

and Wisdom podcast, everybody.

14

This is your co-host, Tyler Yau.

15

Today, I'm with my constant co-hosts,

Chris Kellum, and our special

16

guest today is Brooke Pereira.

17

brooke: Hi, I'm Brooke.

18

boys: Thanks so much for coming on today.

19

I appreciate it.

20

I was going through your form that we

had you fill out- … and everything, and

21

some of the things that you wanna talk

about, and key phrases was postpartum,

22

fitness community, and motherhood- Mm-hmm

23

which makes a lot of sense 'cause I

do see you a lot with Alex Richardson.

24

Yes.

25

Oh.

26

I just saw her today- Yeah

27

… brooke: actually.

28

I literally was like,

"There's an empty seat.

29

I should've invited her."

30

That's so funny.

31

Yeah, she's been

32

boys: on a few times talking about- Okay

… fourth trimester mission and everything.

33

Yeah.

34

And I saw that she's been at a

lot of events where you've been.

35

Yes.

36

And when I saw this, and I was like,

"Ah, this all makes sense now."

37

brooke: I see.

38

Correct.

39

Yes.

40

boys: That explains why I knew about

it at Kendra Scott- That's exactly

41

… because I follow Alex and she posted

42

brooke: about it.

43

Yeah.

44

Eh.

45

The biggest small town, you know?

46

Exactly.

47

I've

48

boys: always said that, yeah.

49

This is not a city.

50

Exactly.

51

No.

52

Yeah.

53

brooke: No, she's awesome.

54

I got to see her today, and she's

al- or, sorry, yesterday too.

55

Yeah.

56

She's just the best energy, so yeah.

57

Love it.

58

boys: So today- You get to try…

59

I know you don't drink a lot.

60

brooke: Mm-hmm.

61

boys: At least not a lot of whiskey.

62

Mm.

63

So we're gonna, we're gonna get you

to check out the Penelope Havana.

64

Tell me what you think.

65

It's part of their Cooper Series, so

couple times a year they take some

66

of their, their finished whiskey, do

another finishing in different kind

67

of barrels to add some flavor to it.

68

These are Caribbean rum cask

finishes- Ooh … which is why it

69

has a little bit sweeter taste.

70

Tyler's gonna- Ruin it.

71

I just wanna thank Chris Matt, sorry.

72

Ginger ale.

73

all: Mm-hmm.

74

boys: I don't, like, I wouldn't

argue typically- … but this

75

seems too sweet for ginger ale.

76

Yeah, I was gonna say-

77

brooke: I know … it definitely has a

little bit, like of a sweeter finish, so-

78

Yeah … I feel like if ginger beer maybe

would be like- Yeah … complimentary.

79

Ginger beer would've been better.

80

Yeah.

81

Yeah.

82

boys: I was like, "Ugh."

83

See?

84

That's why I made the face.

85

Not 'cause I don't- You can

mix whatever you wanna mix.

86

I was just like, "Those flavors

together don't make sense."

87

It's sweet.

88

Yeah.

89

Real sweet.

90

That was a fast pour.

91

Yeah.

92

brooke: No, it's good.

93

I feel like it's pretty smooth and

it has definitely a little bit more

94

of a sweet, like finish to it- Yeah

95

versus like, I don't know, just-

96

boys: What you're used to.

97

Yeah.

98

Sweet.

99

Like kinda

100

brooke: punching me, so yeah.

101

boys: No, we, one day we'll actually

find somebody to edit through all of

102

our stuff, but I always like to point

out like what seasons these would

103

be drinkin'- Mm-hmm … or drunkin'.

104

I'm not good at English.

105

Drink in, in?

106

brooke: I don't know.

107

Cool.

108

Got 'em

109

boys: all.

110

Which- What seasons I

would drink these with.

111

So Havana s- does come out seasonally,

so it typically comes out in springtime,

112

so perfect time I would suggest for it.

113

Our other favorite from this collection is

the Rio- Rio … which is even sweeter- Oh

114

… but smoother, but it's still whiskey.

115

So like it is a summer whiskey

and it comes out in summertime.

116

But it doesn't.

117

I was gonna say.

118

It doesn't

119

brooke: come out in the summer?

120

boys: Like they say summertime- Oh … but

the bottles just got into the stores- Oh,

121

well- … like in April … everything's

122

brooke: like a season ahead.

123

Correct.

124

It's for the summer.

125

Yep.

126

You're right.

127

They're hoping you'll keep it on

your shelf for a little while.

128

Yeah.

129

That's not gonna last.

130

It

131

boys: is so delicious.

132

I have to s- I was thinking of food,

so I have to steer away from that.

133

Yeah, don't do that.

134

You already had your food.

135

I did.

136

Coffee's in.

137

It's a running joke.

138

I have at least one food episode- Oh, okay

139

where I ask some food question.

140

Okay.

141

Well, I

142

brooke: did kinda have like

a food related question.

143

Okay.

144

What would you pair that with?

145

boys: Food-wise?

146

Mm-hmm.

147

Mm.

148

So this to me would be more of

a dessert- Mm-hmm … cocktail.

149

Like I wouldn't be drinking

this to start the day, but

150

definitely- … on the back end.

151

There is banana bread flavors, so like

this would be- I'll have to choose

152

when we did, drink it to start the day.

153

Yeah.

154

So I was like, "Oh."

155

Yeah.

156

But I mean like- Start the day … I

would drink, I would drink it with

157

d- With breakfast … dessert.

158

I think banana bread- Ooh, or

like a bread pudding- Mm … this

159

would taste really good with.

160

From Nom Nom Nom?

161

I don't know if they have a bread pudding,

but just bread pudding- … in general.

162

I don't even like bread pudding like

that, but this, this would be a good one.

163

brooke: Yeah.

164

Does sound like it could pair nicely.

165

Yeah.

166

Something

167

boys: different.

168

All right, so if w- before we go too

far down the food rabbit hole- Well,

169

no, I was gonna- 'Cause we'll talk about

food the whole time That was the food.

170

I was gonna be like, talking

about pairing nicely, you do

171

a moth- mommy and me events.

172

Mm-hmm.

173

So you pair moms with their

kids- Yes … doing things.

174

Yes.

175

We're dudes.

176

With kids,

177

brooke: without kids.

178

boys: I have kids.

179

You have kids?

180

How many kids do you have?

181

I have two.

182

I have a five-year-old and

a just turned four-year-old.

183

Aw.

184

brooke: Oh my gosh, we're close then.

185

That's awesome.

186

Yeah.

187

boys: That's what COVID does.

188

That is

189

brooke: awesome.

190

That is

191

boys: what…

192

I mean…

193

Not wrong.

194

Yeah.

195

That was…

196

It's been a joke for you.

197

Yeah.

198

We, we know.

199

I'm new here.

200

Yeah.

201

I don't know.

202

I just…

203

so yeah, he has kids.

204

I have a dog.

205

I applaud.

206

Similar.

207

Same, same but different.

208

But like with the mommy and

me events, how does that work?

209

Or like what, what do you guys do there?

210

brooke: so I do like an array of them.

211

Like, I started just doing

mommy and me Pilates.

212

Mm-hmm.

213

So you can bring your baby or

you can bring your toddler.

214

Just like a way to have access to working

out, movement, and just like community,

215

but still, you know, including your

kid because sometimes it's really hard.

216

Like, you have that craving to still

like work out or be active, and you

217

can't always bring your baby to a gym.

218

Yeah.

219

You know, some people have access

to that, like- Mm … but it was

220

really difficult for me to find that.

221

And unless I was just out by myself

doing it, like, it just didn't happen.

222

So, I host it.

223

So I usually bring my son.

224

Nice.

225

He's getting older now.

226

He's two.

227

Yeah.

228

And he keeps me active.

229

It's just like a bigger

workout with him, so.

230

all: Mm-hmm.

231

brooke: yeah, so the

moms bring their babies.

232

They can put them in their carriers

or, you know, toddlers running around.

233

You're good to go.

234

It's, it's been the best, but yeah.

235

So we have a little fitness

class, and then we just kinda

236

mingle and mix, you know?

237

boys: That's awesome.

238

Yeah.

239

You've built one hell of a community.

240

brooke: Aw.

241

That's so sweet.

242

Just like, I was just

243

boys: like watching like how it's grown

and stuff over the like- … time you've

244

been doing it, and like you have a huge

group of like moms that come out for this.

245

Yeah.

246

Like, that's amazing.

247

I was even talking to one

of our coworkers, and she

248

walks the loop all the time.

249

And I was telling her who was coming

on, and she was like, "I've seen

250

that group walking around- Aw.

251

… the loop."

252

She was like, "I didn't realize there

were so many moms and kids that do that."

253

It is hard to miss.

254

Yeah.

255

brooke: And I, I knew there was like

a lot of moms here, but like our last

256

walk, so I do like a walk on Thursdays.

257

Mm-hmm … and we bring like a weight,

and then we do like a leg workout, and

258

then we do like isolated arm workouts.

259

Oh, okay.

260

So we can still push our strollers and

work out our arms at the same time, and

261

our last one was absolutely incredible.

262

I didn't know there were

so many moms in Wilmington.

263

So I had 90 moms signed up.

264

Oh my God.

265

And I was like, "How am

I gonna handle this?",

266

first off.

267

That's insane.

268

And we've just- I feel like the

community has just been so sweet, and

269

we had GPRIME, 'cause we parked there.

270

Yeah.

271

Mm-hmm.

272

They wanted to feed all the moms,

so they created- That's sweet

273

you know, like a small little menu and-

Wow … made like house made granola

274

bars and like muffins, and they had

like fruit out and stuff and- That's

275

amazing … yeah, treated all of our

moms, and it was just really beautiful.

276

That's cool.

277

And yeah, so it was raining, but-

Yeah … I still had so many moms

278

show up and that was just incredible

to see and witness like- I love that.

279

That's amazing.

280

Yeah.

281

It was really beautiful.

282

So.

283

boys: So did the whole thing get

started because you were missing that

284

in your life and just building something

that kinda scratched your own itch?

285

brooke: yeah, I mean that's definitely

where it like, you know, sparked from.

286

I would walk that same trail all the time.

287

Yeah.

288

I was blessed that I had, My best

friend, still have her, but she was

289

super close in like postpartum with me.

290

Mm-hmm.

291

She had her baby first.

292

I actually found out I was pregnant

the day that she gave birth.

293

Oh, no way.

294

And then I had my son on her

birthday, so we always- Oh, wow.

295

… were like, "Well, we're bound for life."

296

So- Yeah … I always, you know, had that

kind of small community and that support.

297

But like just thinking about someone who

maybe didn't have it or just had like…

298

People would always be like,

"I'm gonna walk with you," and

299

it was so hard to organize.

300

It is so hard to organize as moms- Oh,

for sure … like with babies' schedules,

301

your schedules, your wants, you, you

know, like what you have energy for.

302

And I was like, "I just need to like

put down a time, put down a path,

303

and like make something happen.

304

And if you wanna join,

come join," you know?

305

Right.

306

So that's definitely

where it sparked from.

307

And it's, I mean, it's so…

308

I'm so passionate about it now.

309

Like, I've always been heal-

into health and fitness and- Yeah

310

I just feel like it all just like kinda

came together like so perfectly, so.

311

Here's

312

boys: something I don't know about

it, is, is this an actual business

313

for you or is this just community

you built to help other moms?

314

brooke: It is community.

315

That's awesome.

316

I mean, I, I wanna say- Good for you … I

started it out of love, you know?

317

Just, Yeah.

318

But then I started working at another

studio in Carolina Beach and I've just,

319

I just feel like it's like kind of

evolving into more and just like giving

320

different access to different stages of

postpartum- Right … has been really fun.

321

So I want to obviously do…

322

It's still business, but I

just go off donation, you know?

323

So- Oh, okay … I want

it to be accessible.

324

Mm-hmm.

325

You know, f- because a lot of

moms stop working and- Yeah.

326

For sure … you know, you're

buying diapers and just baby toys,

327

and sometimes it can be hard.

328

So if you're able to give, then it's

like supporting me and helping me

329

purchase weights and props and stuff.

330

But- Yeah

331

if not, then, you know, I just,

I'm glad you joined, you know?

332

So, yeah.

333

boys: That's awesome.

334

Yeah.

335

Good for you.

336

Thank you.

337

That's something that I've always noticed

too, is a lot of times people will take

338

something that should have been community-

And then they over-business-size-

339

Mm-hmm … it, I guess you could say.

340

This, just because what you see on

Instagram and, like, social media

341

all the time, like, "Oh, make sure

your passion is your business."

342

brooke: Mm-hmm.

343

boys: I think there's definitely

a time and a place where those

344

things should be separate.

345

brooke: Yeah.

346

boys: Like, you should have a business

to help- Yeah … fund your passion.

347

Mm-hmm.

348

Because not everything that is

a passion should be monetized-

349

Yeah … in my personal opinion.

350

brooke: No, I agree.

351

And I've definitely, like, I mean, we're

America, we think money first, you know?

352

Yeah, yeah.

353

And I've had lots of other endeavors

and passions and things that I

354

enjoy doing, but stressed about

making money from it, and I, I was

355

so burnt out from it, you know?

356

So I think, like, kind of just going

into the mindset of, like, serving

357

and just, like, supporting has really,

like, benefited me, like, longterm.

358

Like, I, I am, like, fulfilled

when I do these things.

359

Right.

360

Like, it brings me, like, life and

joy, and just, like, seeing other

361

moms, like, just feel good, it

just, you know, it does something

362

else that, like, money can't buy.

363

So- Exactly … I enjoyed

just doing it that way, yeah.

364

boys: Yeah.

365

Yeah.

366

Life is so much more than putting a

dollar sign next to- Yeah … every single

367

thing that takes a moment of your time.

368

brooke: Exactly, yeah.

369

Like, stressing, "Oh, I have

to make sure I sell out this

370

class," or, like, you know.

371

So it's more of just, like, "Oh, I hope

it sells out so I get, you know, enough

372

people in here or, you know- Right

373

like, not miss opportunities

on a ticket or something."

374

boys: Yeah.

375

Exactly.

376

So all the thoughts that

run through my head.

377

You seem very stylish.

378

Thank you.

379

So the Chris thought

is, where are you from?

380

brooke: Where am I from?

381

Yeah.

382

I was born in Connecticut.

383

Okay.

384

I've been here since I was four.

385

Wow.

386

I can say over 20 years now.

387

Wow.

388

Yeah.

389

So I love Wilmington.

390

Never would've guessed.

391

Mm-hmm.

392

That I'm not from- Yeah … or

393

boys: I'm from Connecticut?

394

You're the next, next closest

thing to a Wilmingtonian.

395

Yeah.

396

I'm like, you've been here for well

over, I would say, like, seven-eighths

397

of your life, I'm assuming.

398

Yeah, I

399

brooke: mean, I'm, I'll be

32 this year, so- Oh, okay

400

over.

401

Yeah.

402

boys: Yeah.

403

So you're from here.

404

I

405

brooke: can almost say 30 years.

406

Oh my gosh.

407

When I'm 34 I can say I've

been here for 30 years.

408

It's insane.

409

I've- You don't

410

boys: look it, so.

411

Oh, thank you.

412

Yeah.

413

I was like, "Oh, that's better."

414

It's all the exercise.

415

It's the- The- … the

416

brooke: endorphins from serving.

417

Yeah.

418

We'll take it.

419

Yeah.

420

That,

421

boys: that's why Tyler looks

so much younger than me.

422

I don't think that's why.

423

He is o- It's- He is

younger than me … not

424

brooke: having whiskey for

breakfast, but … Right.

425

I could find a way to

426

boys: make it work.

427

Oh, stop.

428

That's probably what keeps you young.

429

Maybe.

430

It's, like, formaldehyde.

431

It's very preserving, yeah.

432

People look all the time, 'cause

we have the podcast, they're like,

433

"Oh, Chris, you know whiskey."

434

I's like, I mean, I know Ball,

but, like, I don't- I don't drink

435

it I'm, I'm not that deep into

it I don't have an issue, I just

436

… brooke: That's why my

glass is this big Yeah.

437

boys: Unless we're on vacation.

438

brooke: Yeah.

439

Everyone's excuse.

440

Yeah, for sure.

441

boys: True.

442

So what's your go-to drink on vacation?

443

brooke: Tequila.

444

Understandable.

445

boys: Yeah.

446

Any specific tequila?

447

brooke: I mean, it's gotta be blanco at

least, but … You don't do reposado?

448

I don't, I mean, I will.

449

My arm's twisted, but I would say blanco.

450

It's cleaner.

451

I don't know, it just feels-

Feels cleaner … cleaner.

452

Yeah.

453

Yeah.

454

Not all of them though, but

455

… all: Yeah.

456

boys: Oh, I did have an this is completely

off topic, I was just- We're getting

457

us back on the topic I love being ADD

458

well, no, it's still, it's

still off Like, let's do it.

459

It's on the topic of fitness, but it's

off the topic of the Mama Lotta stuff.

460

Okay.

461

I saw that you were involved

with the, what was it yesterday?

462

brooke: Lakeside?

463

boys: Yeah.

464

Yeah.

465

How

466

brooke: did you get involved in all that?

467

Okay, so that's like I feel like where

starting this has kind of like, I don't

468

know, just like evolved in different ways.

469

Mm-hmm.

470

I love that gym.

471

I I feel so blessed to

be a part of that gym.

472

Yeah.

473

I have had so many really awesome things

happen just with the people there.

474

Everyone's so supportive, and I've

definitely, like been, I've been able to

475

achieve fitness goals because of this gym.

476

Yeah.

477

I think they just saw that I have been

hosting community events, and so they

478

were like, "Can you pull this together?"

479

And I was like, "Yes."

480

You know?

481

Wow.

482

I, I know people, I

know girls, I got this.

483

And so I really had so much fun doing it.

484

They gave me a month, and

we pulled it together.

485

That's cool.

486

So it was- It was,

487

boys: it was called Babes

and Barbells, right?

488

Babes and Barbells.

489

That's right.

490

Yeah.

491

brooke: It was so fun.

492

They just want to kind of

introduce the gym a little bit

493

more, 'cause it is still- Yeah

494

relatively new.

495

Like, I think six months is really- Oh,

that's new … the age of it right now.

496

Oh gosh, okay.

497

And I think because of the way that,

I mean on, from my opinion, the way

498

that they advertise it on Instagram-

499

all: Mm-hmm

500

… brooke: it can look kind of intimidating.

501

Yeah.

502

And unless you walk in with like your

gym partner, I don't really wanna

503

go test out a gym that I'm not sure

what I'm like walking into, you know?

504

Right.

505

So we just wanted to introduce it to more

girls and show them that it's not scary.

506

It's a really amazing place to be, and I

think we definitely succeeded doing that.

507

Yeah.

508

We had a lot of people come.

509

That's awesome.

510

A lot of new people kind of pop in.

511

We had really, really awesome like

women vendors, like local women.

512

Mm-hmm.

513

So it was really fun and,

Had Green Bean out there.

514

Do what?

515

I'm sorry.

516

Had Green Bean out there, right?

517

Yes.

518

Yeah.

519

I went to high school with them.

520

No way.

521

Yeah.

522

Oh, that's cool.

523

I went to high school with both of

them, so I was like, "You guys gotta

524

come out and let's make a b- like a

custom coffee," and they were awesome.

525

They, they brought their

truck underneath the awning-

526

Yeah … which was really impressive.

527

And then yeah, it was just

really nice to promote.

528

I mean, 'cause I'm self-employed, I just

wanna help promote other businesses- Yeah.

529

Mm-hmm … and stuff too, so that

was really nice to have a bunch of

530

self-employed people out there too.

531

boys: Yeah.

532

Oh, that's neat.

533

I keep seeing- Because I remember

when it was two other gyms

534

before that True Fit, yeah.

535

Yeah.

536

And then I kept seeing people post

pictures in like the blacked out space,

537

and I'm like- Yeah … where is this?

538

This is

539

brooke: not Wilmington.

540

No.

541

It is.

542

And that's, that's what

543

boys: I love about it is because it's…

544

You get a city style gym-

Yeah … in a large town.

545

all: Mm-hmm.

546

boys: Mm-hmm.

547

brooke: Yeah, they're incredible, too.

548

It's a husband and wife who own it.

549

Mm-hmm.

550

Yeah.

551

And it's like faith-based and stuff, so

I've just never met more friendly people.

552

Yeah.

553

Very nice.

554

It's very welcoming.

555

Lakeside

556

boys: instead of Seaside.

557

They have, what, two other gyms, right?

558

brooke: I think they have two

others and they're over in Virginia.

559

Virginia.

560

Yeah, like Danville and…

561

Yeah.

562

Yeah,

563

boys: I was like Seaside

would've been cool.

564

brooke: I know, but, you know,

you gotta keep the brand going.

565

It's the brand.

566

True.

567

We're not…

568

We don't have a lake here, but-

True … it stands out now.

569

Greenfield

570

boys: Lake.

571

Not sure if you wanna

572

Green- yeah.

573

Not…

574

Don't, don't associate with that lake.

575

Have you been to Greenfield Lake?

576

Yeah.

577

Yeah.

578

Everybody's been to Greenfield Lake.

579

Yeah, I've had-

580

brooke: No … I've had a few

traumatic things hap- I don't know.

581

Just like not traumatic.

582

I'm- I just feel like you,

you don't know what to expect

583

walking around there sometimes.

584

No.

585

I,

586

boys: first off, didn't

realize how big it was.

587

Yeah, it's huge.

588

'Cause like growing up we would go

there and chill at the kids park.

589

Mm-hmm.

590

I would- And that's- Sorry, I was

gonna say- Not anymore … I would

591

brooke: never catch myself in that

lake doing the paddle boating thing.

592

No.

593

I had a coworker- You'd find an

594

boys: alligator

595

who would do it.

596

He's like, "Yeah, we went out on the lake

and I was fishing" And I'm like, "Pause."

597

Wow.

598

"Do you know how big of an

animal swims around there?"

599

He's like, "Yeah, he just…

600

I waved at him and just kept paddling.

601

He didn't bother me."

602

And I'm like, "You're not gonna catch me."

603

I'd be afraid to catch a fish and then

that alligator go after that fish.

604

Yeah.

605

You're not gonna catch me

doing the little pedal thingy.

606

You're not gonna pe- Nah, I'm gonna stay.

607

I will get up to the edge and like look

and stand on those roots, and that was it.

608

Yeah.

609

But I…

610

And then I go to the amphitheater.

611

But that was the- Yeah Yeah … last

time I did anything out there.

612

brooke: I haven't been

there in a long time.

613

I used to live like over there, so.

614

boys: Oh.

615

Yeah.

616

In Sunset Park.

617

brooke: No, it was like kinda close to it.

618

So when we first moved here, you

know, when you move into a new town-

619

Yeah … you don't know the location.

620

Yeah.

621

So we were like over there and my

parents were like, "We're, we're out."

622

They're done.

623

One, you're out.

624

You're like, "This

625

boys: is not Connecticut."

626

Yeah.

627

Yeah.

628

brooke: No.

629

The weather is way better, but

this location may not be it.

630

Yeah.

631

True.

632

Golly.

633

boys: Mm.

634

I do love it.

635

It is a beautiful area.

636

brooke: Greenfield Lake-

Yes … or Wilmington?

637

Beautiful.

638

Oh, okay.

639

Like Greenfield Lake- Yeah, no, it's

gorgeous … it has all the azaleas.

640

Yeah.

641

It has

642

boys: all the trees.

643

Trees.

644

Everyone should visit at least once.

645

If you're athletic you should

walk it, but that thing is long.

646

Just…

647

It's pretty long.

648

It's like almost a 5K.

649

Oh,

650

brooke: really?

651

Yeah, I think.

652

It's that big?

653

boys: Yeah.

654

Oh, wow.

655

You should do it.

656

Clearly

657

brooke: we have not walked it.

658

No, not the whole way.

659

I'll have to look

660

boys: it up.

661

I'm gonna let you ask the next question

while I look up how big this lake is.

662

All right.

663

Sounds good.

664

With what you have right now and

your child getting older, what's the

665

next thing that you're looking at to

do with what you've kinda created?

666

brooke: The next thing that

I wanna do is coaching.

667

Okay.

668

Mm.

669

So still, like, doing community things,

but making, like, a plan or just,

670

like, it accessible in different ways.

671

Yeah.

672

I wanna do, like, different

tiers of coaching as well.

673

More like one-on-one, but then

also, like, group coaching.

674

Okay.

675

Because I do, like, my love for

working out, you know, came from

676

the gym and, like, lifting heavy.

677

Oh, yeah.

678

And Pilates is great and all,

but I don't, like, I couldn't

679

just survive off of light- Right

680

weight.

681

You know, I think having the

balance is really important.

682

Mm-hmm.

683

So I would, I wanna start,

like, online coaching and stuff.

684

Oh, nice.

685

Nice.

686

Yeah.

687

'Cause I, even, like, as much as I

feel like I knew prior to having my

688

son, in the gym after I was, you know,

postpartum, I was like, "What am I doing?"

689

Or, "What do I need- Right

690

to be doing?"

691

You know, to, like, kind of just

gain my strength back in certain

692

different areas and stuff.

693

So having that guidance I think would

be really important, and, you know,

694

even if you didn't work out before,

like, it's never too late to start.

695

Right.

696

You know?

697

So I hope that, you know, I'm

able to kinda give that to

698

some of my moms and stuff.

699

That's good.

700

I get asked, you know, by them, like,

"Do you do, like, personal training?"

701

And I'm like, "I do, but I also

don't have, like, two hours to

702

carve out- True … without my son."

703

Yeah.

704

You know, 'cause I'm full-time with him.

705

Yeah, so.

706

Makes sense.

707

Yeah.

708

boys: You'd have to charge a lot

more to pay someone to watch the

709

kid and for you to make- Yeah.

710

Yeah.

711

You know?

712

brooke: I, and that's,

yeah, gonna come out.

713

It's just hard to get away from him, too.

714

Right.

715

I always, like, wanna

be with him, you know?

716

Yeah.

717

So it making that, like,

accessible I think would be it,

718

so that's in the works right now.

719

Very

720

boys: nice.

721

brooke: Yeah.

722

boys: Nice.

723

So you know it's, per

Google- … it is 3.9

724

miles- Oh

725

around the official trail.

726

Okay.

727

And if they do have an extended loop

area, they can go up to, add up to f-

728

so it's, like, four and a half miles.

729

Mm.

730

Did not know that.

731

I was

732

brooke: gonna say, isn't the

loop, like, three loops maybe?

733

Like the, the Rice- Rice L-

Beach Loop … L- Beach Loop?

734

Yeah, it's short.

735

Thir- yeah.

736

Or maybe- I think it's shorter than that

737

it's

738

boys: like…

739

Yeah, I think it's, like, 2.6

740

or something.

741

Oh, okay.

742

That's what someone told me.

743

Really?

744

brooke: Yeah, maybe it's-

745

boys: I don't know

746

… brooke: measuring all of our- I'm-

… our tracks right now … just going

747

boys: off of what someone told me-

Yeah … like, three years ago.

748

No, I'm saying really is like, "Oh,

I didn't realize it was that long."

749

Oh.

750

2.45.

751

Oh, okay.

752

I was close.

753

Yeah, that was close.

754

Within a mile.

755

brooke: Two and a half.

756

Yeah.

757

Yeah.

758

The loop is awesome.

759

I like knowing I have an end in mind.

760

Right.

761

Exactly.

762

Like, I know exactly where I

am, how much longer this is,

763

and I can shortcut if I need to.

764

boys: Correct.

765

brooke: So.

766

boys: Yeah.

767

And it's, like, all open.

768

Like- Yeah … I like the Greenfield

loop, but there's no shortcut.

769

No.

770

When you get started, you're s-

771

brooke: You can't- Yeah … you can't

walk Greenfield alone as a- female.

772

No.

773

So, you can the loop.

774

I wouldn't do it.

775

I was gonna say, I wouldn't do it.

776

As a guy.

777

So yeah, that says something.

778

boys: They went to CCW, so I mean.

779

Yeah.

780

Yeah.

781

brooke: Gotta bring something, right?

782

boys: Well, d- so I'm excited

for your new endeavor.

783

Yeah.

784

Is that a…

785

Is it something you're expecting

786

sooner than- Oh my gosh.

787

Okay.

788

brooke: Absolutely.

789

Okay.

790

I'ma get this done,

like, as soon as I can.

791

Hopefully within like the

next six months to a year.

792

Nice.

793

So nice.

794

Yeah.

795

So we'll have to do a follow-up.

796

Yeah.

797

We'll have to do it then.

798

Yeah, I would love that.

799

What got you

800

boys: started in fitness to begin

801

brooke: with?

802

I mean I've been working out

for like over 10 years now.

803

Yeah.

804

I just feel incredible from it, you know?

805

I just- Right … don't ever wanna

age impro- backwards, you know?

806

Right.

807

And I just, you know, watched my dad work

out a lot when I was little and stuff and

808

that really stuck with me and I just feel

like I just wanna be strong too, you know?

809

Yeah.

810

And I'm glad I started before I had

my son because it got hard after.

811

I believe it.

812

It's hard.

813

100%.

814

Like you wanna like lay down and,

you know, hang out like postpartum

815

and stuff and I feel like that kinda

just like kept my momentum going.

816

Mm-hmm.

817

Like being like, "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna

lose like all this progress," or like,

818

you know, "I'm gonna lose strength"- Yeah

819

or like, "I gotta be stronger, like

to keep up with him," you know?

820

Yeah.

821

all: Mm-hmm.

822

brooke: I don't know if you've,

you have held a six-pound baby

823

for hours, like that's no joke.

824

Right.

825

Yeah.

826

Your bicep feels like it's gonna

cramp up- It's gonna get wobbly.

827

boys: Yeah

828

… brooke: six pounds it's like,

but holding it for like a long

829

period of time and then- Right

830

it becomes eight pounds, 10

pounds, and then your 25-pound

831

toddler won't let you go.

832

boys: Right.

833

So.

834

Roman still comes up to me at the age of

five and he's like, "Can you hold me?"

835

And I'm like- Yeah, of course … I

mean I still can, so I guess I will-

836

Yeah … take advantage of it while I can.

837

brooke: Yeah, you know?

838

My dog

839

boys: hit 20 pounds and I was

like, "I thought you were gonna

840

stop at like 12," which was like

a normal weight and then I've…

841

No kids, but picking him up and

having to like carry him from one

842

place to another- Yeah … 'cause

he doesn't wanna go in a kennel.

843

I was like, "Bro, stop struggling."

844

And- Yeah

845

… brooke: they just get more demanding so

sometimes you gotta- It's true … and

846

not to be like dark or anything but if I

ever had to, you see like the memes and

847

it's like, "Could you run with your kid?"

848

You know- Right … I'm like,

"Oh, I, mean, I've gotta do that.

849

I might have to do that one day."

850

You never know.

851

Yeah.

852

So I just wanna be strong and keep up

with him 'cause he's a strong, fast boy.

853

Yeah.

854

So.

855

I love it.

856

boys: And even more realistically,

like how many times do you have a

857

toddler that just takes off and like

if your toddler's faster than you,

858

like they're going into the road.

859

brooke: Yeah.

860

Yeah.

861

boys: So like that's things like

I've actually had to experience.

862

Like my- Mm-hmm … she's now four,

but like my two-year-old at the time,

863

like if she took off somewhere, like

I had to be, catch her and like- three

864

steps or like- Yeah, you, you gotta

move … your nose runs or something.

865

You know?

866

brooke: Yeah.

867

Yeah.

868

And

869

boys: then have the strength

to be able to pick them up off

870

their feet and bring them back.

871

brooke: And have a, like, hold onto the

wiggling, fighting, resisting toddler.

872

Oh, yeah.

873

Yeah.

874

So, so you can either do the hard

thing and work out, or you can,

875

like, struggle while trying to

manage your kids later in life.

876

So- Exactly … yeah, that's

kind of my mentality behind it.

877

Yeah.

878

I just don't ever wanna, like, not

be able to keep up or play sports.

879

Or even when- Yeah … I'm 80 years

old, because, well, I'm gonna turn

880

70, and be like, "You know, all of a

sudden I think I wanna work out today."

881

No, like these are habits- Yeah … that

I've gotta start now and instill in

882

other people now so that they continue

them for, throughout their life.

883

Yeah.

884

Yeah.

885

boys: Right.

886

Yeah.

887

Like, I even think about, like, my

parents are in pretty good shape.

888

Mm-hmm.

889

And, like, how they're still able to run

around and keep up with my kids- Yeah

890

… now, like, I would like to be able to do

that when, like, I'm even older than them.

891

brooke: Yeah.

892

So, like- Definitely … yeah.

893

Like, just get on the floor and, you know,

go down the slide with them, you know?

894

So.

895

Exactly.

896

Yeah.

897

boys: How many moms have started

working out, like, with your group

898

that have never worked out before?

899

brooke: I mean, I feel like

I've got a pretty good handful.

900

It's hard to tell sometimes because,

like, they are all in different seasons.

901

Right.

902

Yeah.

903

Like, I'll get like, you know, just a few

weeks postpartum, but then I'll get like

904

someone who's like three years postpartum.

905

Sure.

906

Yeah.

907

You know?

908

But I always like to hear feedback, you

know, like- Mm-hmm … "Is this too easy?

909

Is this too hard?"

910

Like- Mm-hmm … and everything's,

like, modifiable in the workouts.

911

Sure, yeah.

912

So, I always like to express that so that

you don't feel like you have to do the

913

lunges or you have to, like, you know,

squat the whole time, or you have to come

914

all the way down to the floor, because

we're all in different seasons and- Sure

915

I'm not really trying to,

like, whoop their butt.

916

It's really about just, like, getting

movement- Yeah … building strength

917

building your mobility and stuff, so.

918

Yeah.

919

I definitely have some fresh ones, and so

that's why I like to, you know, tell them

920

this is, like, beginner friendly or, like-

Right … C-section friendly because you

921

could work out all day long, and then you

get a C-section- Yeah, and not be able-

922

and those muscles are need, you know,

coming back from zero, but like- Yeah.

923

Yeah … so, yeah.

924

boys: Yeah.

925

Wow, I can't even imagine.

926

brooke: I ca- I can't imagine.

927

I didn't have a C-section, and I just

feel like they're so strong, you know?

928

Yeah.

929

boys: Yeah.

930

I watched…

931

I was watching Watson the other

day, and they had, like, one of the

932

main guys was having, was walking

someone else through a C-section.

933

And I was like- Mm … "Oh,

that's a lot more stuff going

934

on than I thought it was."

935

It's

936

brooke: insane.

937

Mm-hmm.

938

To like…

939

No, yeah.

940

That's why they hide you.

941

Yeah.

942

They don't want you to see anything.

943

all: Yeah.

944

brooke: I can't imagine.

945

I think, so, having moms of different

degrees of stories and stuff, I,

946

it's very inspiring, you know?

947

Yeah.

948

boys: Is there, like, a maximum

age for, like, the kid to come?

949

Like…

950

brooke: no, and I've been asked that

before, and I say no because, like, so

951

I get toddlers, but then it's like they

turn four, and then they wanna be…

952

Like, they wanna join in on the workout.

953

Yeah.

954

Right.

955

So they'll sit there.

956

They'll lift weights, or they'll

stretch and stuff, and I'm like…

957

So I don't really feel like,

no, there's not an age cap.

958

Yeah.

959

Because then I feel like they're

watching and they're evolving, you

960

know, and they're- Right … starting

to work out, too, and they grab a

961

mat, and I'm like, "This is so sweet."

962

Like- They're joining in.

963

Yeah.

964

So I, I say no, you know?

965

It's- I like it.

966

I let them manage or, and kinda dictate

if they feel like it would be too

967

much or not if they, you know- Right

968

bring them to class.

969

And sometimes it depends on,

like, where I do things, you know?

970

Mm-hmm.

971

Like, today at Kendra Scott

I didn't bring my son Right.

972

Because I was like, that'd be a

lot of merchandise I would have

973

to buy- Yeah … if he broke it.

974

Oh, yeah.

975

So but, like, in our studio, In a

Body, it's closed off, and it's safe,

976

and we br- I bring toys and stuff

so that they have nowhere to go.

977

They do try to escape, but- Yeah.

978

It's pretty enclosed- Yeah … and

safe, and they're playing with

979

other kids, so it's really cool.

980

Very nice.

981

Yeah.

982

boys: That's neat.

983

What events do you have coming up

probably in the next, like, few weeks

984

or few months that you're excited about?

985

brooke: I'm excited because

I have another, like, pop-up

986

event in Ocean Isle, Mm

987

with a really awesome swimwear brand.

988

They do mommy and me swimwear,

so they'll do, like- Oh, I know

989

that … adult swimsuits and

then, like, for girls and boys.

990

Gonna do that for, like, Mother's

Day, and I have some things in

991

the works for the end of May.

992

And then I think we're gonna do something

else at Lakeside as well, so kind of,

993

you know- It's all coming together

994

doing a little bit of both.

995

Yeah.

996

I had, I had my walk on Thursday this

week, and then I had a class Friday.

997

And then Saturday I had Lakeside,

and then today I had Kendra Scott.

998

So- Oh, wow … I'm like, phew, we're

out of, like, the, the woods and- Yeah.

999

… a very busy but fulfilling week.

00:28:57,579 --> 00:28:57,649

Yeah.

00:28:57,679 --> 00:29:00,109

So now I'm like, "Hmm,

what else can we plan?"

00:29:00,109 --> 00:29:00,799

And I've got…

00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:02,449

You know, I've been chatting

with some people, and I…

00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:06,209

You know, I'll pull things together

pretty quickly because the great thing

00:29:06,209 --> 00:29:08,069

about moms, some of them are planners.

00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:09,219

Some of them are last-minute, you know?

00:29:09,449 --> 00:29:09,779

Yeah.

00:29:09,779 --> 00:29:11,839

So I get a good mixture.

00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:15,249

So if I do pull something

together last-minute, then I

00:29:15,249 --> 00:29:15,989

still- You're still gonna have

00:29:15,989 --> 00:29:16,329

all: people.

00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:16,499

brooke: Yeah.

00:29:16,529 --> 00:29:17,539

Yeah, you know?

00:29:17,539 --> 00:29:21,769

And since it ha- is doing so well

word of mouth, you know- Yeah … it's

00:29:21,769 --> 00:29:22,989

like bring a buddy, you know?

00:29:23,429 --> 00:29:26,659

But I'm gonna do another, like, beach

workout, which has been really fun.

00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:29,449

We kinda like go by Oceanic.

00:29:29,639 --> 00:29:29,709

Mm-hmm.

00:29:29,709 --> 00:29:29,839

Mm-hmm.

00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,669

And we do, like, a morning beach workout,

and that's been really fun, and the

00:29:32,669 --> 00:29:34,089

kids just have so much fun with that.

00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:34,179

Yeah.

00:29:34,409 --> 00:29:34,979

Chilling is awesome.

00:29:34,979 --> 00:29:35,199

That's awesome.

00:29:35,359 --> 00:29:35,679

Yeah.

00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:37,029

Chilling with Mommy.

00:29:37,029 --> 00:29:37,269

Yeah.

00:29:37,329 --> 00:29:37,359

all: Mm-hmm.

00:29:37,949 --> 00:29:39,979

brooke: I have some friends

who opened up a new studio.

00:29:40,069 --> 00:29:42,249

They do, like, creative content and stuff.

00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:42,639

Oh, yeah.

00:29:42,669 --> 00:29:46,179

And they opened up a studio to host

events and stuff in, so I'm gonna do

00:29:46,179 --> 00:29:49,219

something there- Yeah … and have,

like, a color analysis, like- The

00:29:49,219 --> 00:29:51,029

girl who comes and throws- Oh yeah

00:29:51,029 --> 00:29:53,779

sheets on you and tell you what color

you look good and what you don't.

00:29:53,779 --> 00:29:55,019

So she's gonna come through.

00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:55,879

So what color- Yeah

00:29:55,879 --> 00:29:56,989

… boys: do you think you look good in?

00:29:57,099 --> 00:29:57,239

brooke: Okay.

00:29:57,239 --> 00:29:59,489

Well, I did mine, like, last weekend.

00:29:59,569 --> 00:29:59,739

Okay.

00:29:59,739 --> 00:30:01,879

And she said I'm, like, a, a warm autumn.

00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:03,199

boys: I could see that.

00:30:03,199 --> 00:30:03,879

brooke: Yeah, so, like-

00:30:04,659 --> 00:30:05,679

boys: Those are some really pretty

00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:06,199

brooke: colors.

00:30:06,229 --> 00:30:07,109

I don't know what that means.

00:30:07,789 --> 00:30:09,829

So, like, yeah, complimentary to you.

00:30:09,829 --> 00:30:10,499

So clip it.

00:30:10,769 --> 00:30:11,979

boys: Warm autumn color palette.

00:30:12,709 --> 00:30:13,809

brooke: It was really interesting.

00:30:13,999 --> 00:30:14,359

Thanks, Chris.

00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:17,409

I kinda figured all the things,

but it's really sad when you think

00:30:17,409 --> 00:30:20,589

you're, like, a gold girl, like

jewelry-wise, and then you're told

00:30:20,589 --> 00:30:21,599

you're silver, and you're like-

00:30:22,669 --> 00:30:23,619

boys: That's interesting

I'm still gonna wear gold

00:30:23,659 --> 00:30:24,719

I'm still gonna wear gold, yeah.

00:30:24,719 --> 00:30:24,869

Yeah.

00:30:24,869 --> 00:30:25,029

She

00:30:25,029 --> 00:30:27,839

brooke: did not tell me that, but

No … that's like what I heard most

00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:31,269

of the girls, like, "I swear, they tell

him, tell me I'm gold or I'm silver."

00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:32,429

It was funny, so.

00:30:32,889 --> 00:30:33,089

It's-

00:30:34,069 --> 00:30:36,579

boys: There's some people, 'cause,

like, I'm in jewelry sales, and

00:30:36,579 --> 00:30:41,049

I see people and I'm like, "You

should probably be wearing gold."

00:30:41,049 --> 00:30:41,329

Yeah.

00:30:41,329 --> 00:30:42,059

But I understand.

00:30:42,089 --> 00:30:42,149

Yeah.

00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:42,969

It's expensive.

00:30:43,809 --> 00:30:46,379

But when you transition,

you're gonna see- A difference.

00:30:46,379 --> 00:30:46,599

Yeah.

00:30:46,749 --> 00:30:46,779

Mm-hmm.

00:30:46,859 --> 00:30:47,179

Yeah.

00:30:47,469 --> 00:30:48,369

Like, just the glow up.

00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:49,909

That's- That is true … that's

00:30:49,909 --> 00:30:52,279

brooke: true that you do-

Yeah … I guess think about that,

00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:53,669

you know, in jewelry sales, too.

00:30:53,829 --> 00:30:53,889

Yeah.

00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:58,189

boys: I worked at Buckle for a

few years, too, so I did- Yeah

00:30:58,219 --> 00:30:58,849

clothing as well.

00:30:59,079 --> 00:30:59,859

It's- I've done all the things.

00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:00,569

brooke: Yeah.

00:31:01,489 --> 00:31:02,069

I like it.

00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:02,789

Take chances.

00:31:02,789 --> 00:31:04,079

Find the things that you love, you know?

00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:04,139

Yeah.

00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:06,119

I think I'm famous for that now.

00:31:06,769 --> 00:31:07,339

boys: Yeah.

00:31:07,369 --> 00:31:08,839

Taking chances and finding

the thing you want.

00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:09,469

Taking chances and

00:31:09,469 --> 00:31:15,289

brooke: trying different things

and, like, yeah, just, you know, I,

00:31:15,379 --> 00:31:19,119

I wouldn't call anything failing,

but, like, just figuring it out.

00:31:19,329 --> 00:31:19,569

Right.

00:31:19,619 --> 00:31:21,699

Yeah, to figure out what I love to do, so.

00:31:22,019 --> 00:31:24,099

boys: Seems like it's all coming

together pretty nicely for you, though.

00:31:24,099 --> 00:31:26,099

Like, all of the things that you're

passionate about- Yeah … and that

00:31:26,099 --> 00:31:28,149

you like are kind of all coming

together, which is really neat.

00:31:28,459 --> 00:31:30,519

brooke: I agree, and I

feel kinda silly sometimes.

00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,379

Like, why didn't I see this before?

00:31:33,429 --> 00:31:33,989

But- Right.

00:31:34,179 --> 00:31:36,509

… I think it bloomed from

being a mom, you know?

00:31:36,539 --> 00:31:37,149

So yeah.

00:31:37,149 --> 00:31:37,329

Totally.

00:31:37,699 --> 00:31:39,549

Not mad about it and not

mad about the timing.

00:31:39,619 --> 00:31:39,679

Yeah.

00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:42,749

'Cause I always have wanted to do,

like, personal training or, like,

00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:47,179

something of the sort, but I never

saw myself really, like, in front

00:31:47,229 --> 00:31:49,229

of a bunch of people and directing.

00:31:49,229 --> 00:31:54,689

So it's nice I had, like, a, like,

a slow transition because if I,

00:31:54,989 --> 00:31:57,849

my first class was 90 moms, I

wouldn't have known what to do.

00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:58,869

You'd be like hi."

00:31:58,869 --> 00:32:00,719

Like, "You guys, I'm canceling."

00:32:00,809 --> 00:32:04,369

Like, no, but it's been nice to

kinda, like, transition, yeah.

00:32:05,149 --> 00:32:05,769

boys: You know what's funny?

00:32:06,139 --> 00:32:06,239

No.

00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:10,659

The previous guest that we had

on, she has a a business that's

00:32:10,659 --> 00:32:11,809

called Kingdom Athlete, and-

00:32:12,269 --> 00:32:12,969

brooke: Yes.

00:32:12,969 --> 00:32:14,179

Oh my gosh … yeah.

00:32:14,209 --> 00:32:14,319

Yeah.

00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:14,469

We just

00:32:14,469 --> 00:32:14,869

boys: missed her.

00:32:15,049 --> 00:32:15,189

Ah.

00:32:15,999 --> 00:32:18,599

Yeah, so she was on, and

it's funny how, like-

00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,999

a lot of your stories kind of overlap.

00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:21,609

Yeah.

00:32:21,639 --> 00:32:23,619

Like, same but different-

Yeah … because, like, just

00:32:23,969 --> 00:32:24,849

different times of your life.

00:32:24,849 --> 00:32:24,879

Mm-hmm.

00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:25,379

brooke: Yeah.

00:32:25,719 --> 00:32:27,389

boys: But it's just really

interesting, kind of like hearing

00:32:27,389 --> 00:32:28,009

how- That's so cool … yeah.

00:32:28,049 --> 00:32:30,869

brooke: I just saw that they're gonna

do a mommy and me Pilates class.

00:32:31,069 --> 00:32:31,099

Oh.

00:32:31,369 --> 00:32:31,739

boys: Oh, really?

00:32:31,739 --> 00:32:31,989

Yeah.

00:32:32,029 --> 00:32:32,189

Oh.

00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:32,779

Are you going?

00:32:33,149 --> 00:32:36,369

brooke: I'm probably gonna go just as,

like, tick- like a ticket, you know?

00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:36,649

Yeah.

00:32:36,649 --> 00:32:36,749

Right.

00:32:37,019 --> 00:32:37,139

Yeah.

00:32:37,684 --> 00:32:38,344

So I love it.

00:32:38,344 --> 00:32:39,954

I've been following

them for a little while.

00:32:39,984 --> 00:32:42,894

I love everything that they, you

know, stand on and stuff, so.

00:32:43,304 --> 00:32:43,734

That's awesome.

00:32:43,774 --> 00:32:43,914

Yeah.

00:32:43,914 --> 00:32:44,124

Very cool.

00:32:44,124 --> 00:32:46,234

I wanna do, like, a

Pilates and prayer thing.

00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:46,404

Oh, yeah.

00:32:46,404 --> 00:32:49,464

Especially, like, with Lakeside

and stuff, like maybe do something

00:32:49,464 --> 00:32:50,994

kind of collaborative with them.

00:32:51,474 --> 00:32:52,114

boys: Yeah, that's neat.

00:32:52,324 --> 00:32:52,604

Very cool.

00:32:53,064 --> 00:32:53,124

Yeah.

00:32:53,244 --> 00:32:58,884

So what is your favorite Pilates workout?

00:32:59,234 --> 00:33:00,544

brooke: My favorite Pilates workout?

00:33:00,544 --> 00:33:00,784

Yeah.

00:33:01,334 --> 00:33:02,774

Like, the actual movement?

00:33:02,774 --> 00:33:02,984

Yeah.

00:33:03,554 --> 00:33:06,754

I mean, I really like a lunge sequence.

00:33:07,064 --> 00:33:07,254

boys: Okay.

00:33:07,564 --> 00:33:07,934

Yeah.

00:33:07,974 --> 00:33:09,864

Like, on a reformer or

just, like, on the ground?

00:33:09,894 --> 00:33:10,044

Oh,

00:33:10,044 --> 00:33:10,164

brooke: no.

00:33:10,164 --> 00:33:10,494

These are…

00:33:10,494 --> 00:33:12,014

This is all mat Pilates.

00:33:12,014 --> 00:33:12,084

Okay.

00:33:12,294 --> 00:33:15,064

If, if we did, like, reformer

Pilates, you can't bring your baby.

00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:15,844

Right, yeah.

00:33:15,844 --> 00:33:17,954

I almost busted my butt on the reformer.

00:33:18,034 --> 00:33:18,844

I have it on video, too.

00:33:18,844 --> 00:33:19,534

It's really funny.

00:33:19,574 --> 00:33:25,284

It's because I was trying to take a video

during- Oh … a mom pil- a reformer

00:33:25,284 --> 00:33:27,604

workout with another mom group in town.

00:33:27,704 --> 00:33:29,954

… And it was really funny, so you

can see me in the background

00:33:29,984 --> 00:33:31,354

and on my own footage, so.

00:33:31,874 --> 00:33:34,094

I'm like, "I'm that girl

today, and I'm okay with it."

00:33:34,094 --> 00:33:35,224

It was really funny, so.

00:33:35,484 --> 00:33:38,494

boys: So one year- Yeah … when

I'm actually in shape, we

00:33:38,494 --> 00:33:39,604

can try a Pilates class.

00:33:40,634 --> 00:33:45,614

I say we do it in approximately

three weeks or two weeks.

00:33:46,034 --> 00:33:47,394

Bro, are you trying to kill me?

00:33:47,394 --> 00:33:47,454

Where?

00:33:47,624 --> 00:33:48,584

Why approximately?

00:33:48,584 --> 00:33:49,724

Para- Paradise Pilates.

00:33:49,724 --> 00:33:53,774

We did a interview with her, what-

Two years ago … two years ago.

00:33:53,774 --> 00:33:53,804

Uh-huh.

00:33:53,954 --> 00:33:57,384

And she's been asking us to come

back to have us both on a reformer.

00:33:57,924 --> 00:33:58,194

Gosh.

00:33:58,224 --> 00:33:58,764

Oh, good luck.

00:33:58,764 --> 00:34:00,874

And I've never done such a thing, and-

00:34:01,454 --> 00:34:02,824

brooke: You're gonna

question your balance.

00:34:03,154 --> 00:34:04,334

Don't drink whiskey before you go.

00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:04,714

No.

00:34:04,904 --> 00:34:05,684

Yeah.

00:34:05,714 --> 00:34:05,774

boys: No.

00:34:06,164 --> 00:34:10,853

No, that was hilarious because we,

we had done Hidden Ships beforehand.

00:34:10,884 --> 00:34:11,274

Oh, that's right.

00:34:11,274 --> 00:34:12,094

That was fantastic.

00:34:12,094 --> 00:34:14,414

Like, that was one of our first up there.

00:34:14,414 --> 00:34:17,054

Like, we do a Surf City- Oh,

okay … trip, like, once a

00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:18,474

year typically, like May, June.

00:34:18,873 --> 00:34:21,114

And we had gone to…

00:34:21,574 --> 00:34:24,293

We had coffee in the morning-

Mm-hmm … at Sundial.

00:34:24,444 --> 00:34:24,474

Mm-hmm.

00:34:25,034 --> 00:34:28,793

And then we took a break, and

then we went down to Hidden Ships,

00:34:28,793 --> 00:34:29,844

'cause they were just opening.

00:34:30,034 --> 00:34:30,714

I drank a lot.

00:34:31,704 --> 00:34:32,873

We, they, they were like- Before.

00:34:34,114 --> 00:34:35,174

They didn't have Pilates yet.

00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:35,774

Oh, okay.

00:34:35,774 --> 00:34:38,364

Like, she had just opened it- They had

just painted … and been painting.

00:34:38,414 --> 00:34:38,734

Yeah.

00:34:38,764 --> 00:34:39,893

It was super echoey.

00:34:40,234 --> 00:34:46,774

But Chris- … being the Chris that I am

I was- Touchy … just vibing, and we were

00:34:46,774 --> 00:34:50,004

joking 'cause I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, I'm

a big boy, but I can still touch my toes."

00:34:50,414 --> 00:34:53,554

And, like, mid-episode I just hop off

my chair, and I'm like, "Here, look."

00:34:55,524 --> 00:34:58,634

And Tyler's like, "I can't

believe you did that."

00:34:59,944 --> 00:35:02,114

Called our guest a lesbian

too, so that was awesome.

00:35:02,114 --> 00:35:02,774

No.

00:35:04,784 --> 00:35:05,064

Is she?

00:35:05,064 --> 00:35:05,614

She plays, Oh.

00:35:05,614 --> 00:35:06,244

No, she was married…

00:35:06,244 --> 00:35:07,234

She's married to a guy.

00:35:07,234 --> 00:35:07,584

Oh, yeah.

00:35:07,624 --> 00:35:08,614

Yeah, very much a guy.

00:35:08,614 --> 00:35:10,244

She's married to-

And, … a football coach.

00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:11,724

Yeah, offensive football coach.

00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:12,934

And, but she played softball.

00:35:13,094 --> 00:35:13,414

Mm, okay.

00:35:13,414 --> 00:35:16,814

So that was, like, the joke is like-

I see … "Oh, you played softball as

00:35:16,814 --> 00:35:18,314

an adult and you're not a lesbian?"

00:35:18,734 --> 00:35:18,854

I

00:35:18,854 --> 00:35:19,384

brooke: understand.

00:35:19,414 --> 00:35:19,474

Yeah.

00:35:19,744 --> 00:35:19,914

boys: Yeah.

00:35:19,994 --> 00:35:22,094

brooke: It wasn't just,

like, a straight-up comment.

00:35:22,094 --> 00:35:22,294

Okay.

00:35:22,294 --> 00:35:25,844

I had it n- out of

context, it's not so great.

00:35:25,844 --> 00:35:26,064

Correct.

00:35:26,064 --> 00:35:26,304
