2

This is your co-host, Tyler, y'all.

3

Today I'm with the Constant

co-host Chris Kellum.

4

And our special guest today is Kelly

Jones, who is a wellness content

5

creator, mostly for women to not

just do sustainable workouts and

6

just be in a healthy lifestyle,

but just for everyday life.

7

kelly: Yeah.

8

boys: Did I get a pretty good Yeah, yeah.

9

Yeah.

10

Like perfect.

11

Sounds good.

12

Um, but before we jump too far in

to the life, we think this is the

13

first time you've had whiskey.

14

Is that right?

15

kelly: Yeah.

16

That I can remember.

17

Yeah.

18

Okay.

19

Yeah.

20

boys: So you were drinking

when you were a baby?

21

No, no.

22

We that I just mean,

or she drank too much.

23

Doesn't, no, I'm just kidding.

24

I've probably tried it before, right?

25

Yeah.

26

kelly: But just not really.

27

Yeah.

28

You know,

29

boys: so we, we had something

off that wasn't like crazy.

30

Right.

31

Unfortunately it's not Basil Hayden Toast.

32

We kind of drank all that, but we

pulled back the Oak and Eden Bourbon

33

Spire, um, pretty chill drink.

34

Uh, it's a 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted

barley, and then it's classically

35

aged in American white Oak Barrel.

36

So it's a little.

37

Has a little flavor, um, tu and then

they throw in a little spire inside

38

so the flavor gets boosted over time.

39

Okay.

40

Um, so it should be rich flavors, A little

sweet honey, vanilla, and some caramel.

41

That sounds good.

42

Yes.

43

Yeah.

44

And then to sweeten it

up a little bit more.

45

Yeah.

46

Because you, you were afraid

you wouldn't like it at all.

47

So you brought us some cherries.

48

Yes.

49

Are these, what kind of cherries are they?

50

kelly: Um, let's.

51

boys: They're pitted.

52

Yeah.

53

Marina.

54

Marina.

55

On marina chairs.

56

Yeah.

57

So they were in syrup, so

it was a little bit sweeter.

58

Yes.

59

It's like an offset.

60

Old fashioned.

61

Okay.

62

Yeah.

63

What we are drinking today.

64

kelly: Okay.

65

Yeah, it'll be good.

66

boys: Let's give it a shot.

67

Alright, let's cheers it up.

68

Cheers.

69

So.

70

kelly: Okay.

71

It's not terrible.

72

boys: That's good.

73

So not too bad.

74

It's not the best, it's

75

kelly: just a different flavor.

76

Yes.

77

Yeah.

78

You know, it's not

Prosecco, it's not wine.

79

boys: Right.

80

Oh, so that's what you normally drink?

81

Yeah.

82

Okay.

83

What kind of wine do you drink?

84

kelly: Um, a Sauv blanc or sun.

85

boys: Oh, okay.

86

Okay.

87

Very

88

kelly: nice.

89

Yeah.

90

White wine, preferably.

91

Yeah.

92

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

93

But this is not No, very, it's not

as bad as, you know, you would think.

94

boys: There are some bad ones.

95

Yeah, I was gonna say, there's

definitely some bad ones out there.

96

Okay.

97

And we have had them.

98

kelly: Oh yes.

99

Well, thank you for taking it easy on me.

100

Yeah, yeah, of course.

101

Oh yeah.

102

boys: So Chris was trying to give her

110 proof makers, and that's a lie.

103

I tried to, I offered it.

104

Yeah.

105

Um.

106

So you like it?

107

I do.

108

I'll sip on it.

109

Okay.

110

Yeah.

111

Yes.

112

Perfect.

113

Smart.

114

Yes.

115

We didn't go crazy.

116

We have a jigger out, um, with a

J so we only did like one ounce.

117

Uh, but tell us a little

bit about yourself.

118

kelly: Um, I, let's see.

119

Um, I am a communication instructor.

120

Mm-hmm.

121

Like, that's my bread and butter.

122

Okay.

123

A real job.

124

Um, but.

125

When it came to posting online and

creating, you know, social media

126

content, I just started to lean

heavily into health and wellness

127

because that was like my passion and

something I was doing for myself.

128

And I was just sort of sharing

it with, with people about

129

how they can implement it too.

130

You know, that it's easy, it's,

it doesn't have to be extreme.

131

boys: Bring it a little closer to you.

132

Oh, sorry.

133

Oh, you good?

134

kelly: Okay.

135

boys: You're soft spoken like me.

136

I am, yeah.

137

Sorry.

138

Communication.

139

Do we do that again, instructor?

140

We that again?

141

No, you're perfect.

142

Okay.

143

We can edit it, but I just

make it easier for later.

144

kelly: Okay.

145

Yeah.

146

boys: So how I can tell

by your accent, yes.

147

You're not from Wilmington.

148

kelly: How can you tell?

149

boys: Because I'm from here and I,

well, I'm from here and I also know

150

people who grew up in like Castle

ha and Bergoff, so their accent

151

is different than what yours is.

152

Okay.

153

kelly: So I'm originally from Wilson.

154

boys: Oh, okay.

155

Okay.

156

kelly: But everyone tells me

I sound like I'm from Alabama.

157

boys: I wanted to go that far.

158

Okay, good.

159

Thank you.

160

I

161

kelly: appreciate it.

162

I mean, I can't hear my accent.

163

boys: Yeah.

164

kelly: But others can and point it out.

165

boys: No, it's a little

bit slower of a draw.

166

Okay.

167

Which is why people

would say Alabama uhhuh.

168

Um, 'cause I feel like those, they

typically have more of a draw.

169

But here.

170

You talk fast enough for me not to

think that you're from that far south.

171

Thanks.

172

Yeah.

173

Yeah.

174

But I just knew that you were from here,

175

kelly: not from here, no.

176

Uh, moved here six years ago, exactly.

177

Oh,

178

boys: okay.

179

Yeah.

180

We brought you here.

181

kelly: I just wanted to be at the beach.

182

boys: Yeah.

183

Didn't wanna drive two hours.

184

kelly: I said if I'm gonna live

anywhere for the rest of my life,

185

I've gotta be near the water.

186

So noise, Wilmington.

187

It was.

188

boys: That's awesome.

189

So starting probably before the

constant creation when you were

190

instructor for communications, right?

191

Yes.

192

What got you into that?

193

kelly: Listen, I never

wanted to be a teacher ever.

194

I studied communication undergrad.

195

'cause I remember the pressure

of being a college student

196

and having to select a major.

197

Like you had to know it

and you had to get into it.

198

And I was like, oh, I don't know.

199

Communication is this large umbrella.

200

I like it.

201

I can fit into it somewhere

and I'll figure it out.

202

Yeah.

203

After graduation and then I graduated

and I was like, I don't know what to do.

204

I don't wanna do sales.

205

So I was like, I'll just go back

to school and get a master's degree

206

in health communication because

I really wanted to do public

207

relations for a children's hospital.

208

boys: Oh, they,

209

kelly: so I went back and got my Master's

and East Carolina University hired me

210

out the get to just start teaching.

211

Nice.

212

Oh wow.

213

So I was 24 years old

teaching college students.

214

boys: Yeah.

215

That seems that.

216

I will say growing up, I always

thought it was weird when kids

217

were like, oh, my teacher's hot.

218

But it makes sense when it's

like fresh outta school.

219

Yeah.

220

And if you're teaching

people who are like 18 to 20,

221

kelly: right,

222

boys: they'll be like, that's

weird, but hey, what's up professor?

223

kelly: Yeah.

224

Yeah.

225

boys: So.

226

kelly: Well, it's still weird now.

227

I still feel a little weird now.

228

I mean,

229

boys: I mean, you're still

only 26 teaching, right?

230

Yeah, yeah.

231

kelly: Haven't aged at all.

232

Yeah.

233

No,

234

boys: we, we don't.

235

Actually understand age and

how it processes at all.

236

Yeah.

237

kelly: It's a strange

concept as you get older.

238

Yes.

239

Right.

240

You don't feel it, but it happens.

241

Yeah.

242

boys: But TikTok tells me I am old.

243

That is true.

244

That's an accurate statement.

245

Yeah.

246

Um, but that's why you're so far

into that, the health and wellness.

247

'cause you always wanna

stay in, feel young, right?

248

kelly: Yeah.

249

I mean, I think about people who are

nearing the end of their life and the two

250

things that they want are their health.

251

Mm-hmm.

252

And time.

253

Or time.

254

Right.

255

So if one can help you in some

way, extend the second, why not

256

boys: true?

257

kelly: Try to do what you can.

258

boys: Right?

259

So you communicate very well.

260

Thank you.

261

Because of your degrees.

262

Oh,

263

come on.

264

That was good.

265

Yeah.

266

Um, no, but in general, I love your,

like how you're communicating with the

267

community and like with your following.

268

Thanks.

269

Um, I think it's.

270

It explains a lot and it

tells people a lot of things.

271

kelly: I hope so.

272

That's the intent.

273

I'm not an expert.

274

I'm not a coach.

275

I couldn't look at someone and tell

them nutritionally what they should

276

be doing or anything like that, but

I just hope to inspire people that

277

your daily habits and your daily

choices can just alter your mood, your

278

perception, and then your behavior.

279

Yeah.

280

Mm-hmm.

281

boys: I think you do a good job of

kind reaching the people that don't

282

wanna get into the doctor part.

283

Right?

284

Yeah.

285

It's like, it seems

like it's really rigid.

286

There's like all these things they

think their doctors are gonna tell them

287

to do or not do or whatnot, but just

to know like, Hey, you can start now.

288

And it's easy to start

now and it's sustainable.

289

I think that's what's important.

290

kelly: Yeah.

291

The sustainability seems to be missed with

a lot of content that exists out there.

292

Mm-hmm.

293

Yeah.

294

Um, it's like it's the

first of the year, right?

295

And everybody feels this pressure.

296

To restart or reset, but you can just

continue the process that you had and just

297

add or subtract the things that weren't

working or try something new and different

298

without this like overwhelming pressure.

299

boys: Yes.

300

kelly: That you've just

gotta completely start fresh.

301

Yeah.

302

boys: You know?

303

Yeah.

304

I convinced my wife to.

305

Obviously January 1st is very,

like, this is what we're doing.

306

Yeah.

307

Um, me being the eyes slightly

open, kind of woke person.

308

I was like, how about we just

set our New Year's goals at

309

our, like, on our anniversary?

310

So like, when is that?

311

Uh, it's March 25th.

312

Oh, cool.

313

So in reality, hey, it worked

in my favor 'cause it's right

314

after, um, the spring Equinox.

315

Mm-hmm.

316

But, um.

317

I'm like, it's a good time because

everyone tries to start in January

318

and they're like, oh, I ruined it.

319

I'm like, we can, like you

said, change a few things.

320

Right.

321

And then when March hits, we can be

like, okay, this is what we completed

322

and this is what we saw that didn't work.

323

kelly: Yeah.

324

boys: And it's like our

Like annual reconnection.

325

Like reset.

326

kelly: I love that.

327

I mean, the springtime is the

best time to restart or do

328

anything like spring cleaning.

329

Everybody wants this refresh

after the winter when you're

330

supposed to be resting and.

331

I mean, who wants to do those

things in the dead of cold winter?

332

Good point.

333

Ew.

334

boys: Yeah.

335

So do you do spring cleaning?

336

kelly: Yeah.

337

boys: Do you, so when you do it, do

you actually open up your windows

338

and like air out and clean out,

or you just throw away stuff?

339

kelly: Absolutely.

340

boys: It does.

341

Yeah.

342

I was a curious question.

343

Yeah.

344

kelly: Well, I am constantly purging and

organizing anyway, but the springtime

345

is the best time for me to do it.

346

Because I hibernate during the winter.

347

boys: Ah, okay.

348

Yeah, that makes sense.

349

Yeah.

350

Do you think this is like, like a reset

or is like, do you think changing and

351

cleaning out makes space for mm-hmm.

352

New things?

353

Or is it just like, just to clean

354

kelly: Both.

355

Okay.

356

I mean.

357

People should be cleaning anyway.

358

Right.

359

But there is something about

organization and decluttering that

360

helps your mind and your mental

health and, and just like a refresh,

361

a restart to bring in other things.

362

Like when my house is clean

and organized, it gives me more

363

like, I don't know, energy.

364

Okay.

365

That I maybe wouldn't have because

the space is a little bit more clear.

366

boys: I never thought of that.

367

Explain so many things.

368

I've known that for a while.

369

Just because like if my house is

cluttered, like my mind is cluttered.

370

Yes.

371

There's like a direct correlation for me.

372

Like the first thing I have to

do is like make sure everything's

373

put away before I can do anything.

374

Like growth wise or it's

just like, just trash.

375

kelly: Yeah.

376

Like imagine someone who wants to

get up and work out in the morning.

377

Mm-hmm.

378

But they're spending their time trying to

find the outfit that they're gonna wear.

379

Mm-hmm.

380

'cause they can't find it because

something's here, something's there.

381

You see what I'm saying?

382

Like if it's decluttered or, or cluttered.

383

Really?

384

Yeah.

385

Yeah,

386

boys: yeah.

387

That makes sense.

388

I remember I just put everything in the

same spot, kind of taking Oh, that's nice.

389

That that portion, the portion

of starting a brand new year.

390

Remember years ago we had on, on.

391

Who did, um, psychology and stuff.

392

She was actually talking about like the

organization of putting things where

393

they belong as like just a first step.

394

Like not, don't change

your whole entire life.

395

kelly: Right?

396

boys: But if you want to actually

start, go walking or running in the

397

morning, the organization part of

that is make sure that shoes are put

398

away where they belong by the door.

399

kelly: Oh, I believe in

that a hundred percent.

400

Yeah.

401

Yeah.

402

boys: That's a good thing.

403

Yeah.

404

No, I put stuff down, but they

don't always go where they.

405

My wife says they should go.

406

I mean, I'm gonna, it's

like I'm gonna believe

407

kelly: her.

408

boys: Oh, she's probably,

she's a hundred percent right.

409

Okay.

410

I put it where my brain thinks

to put it in that moment.

411

Ah,

412

kelly: I just believe there's

a place for everything.

413

That's how I am.

414

boys: Well, I had it and then my dog

started getting onto my nightstand, so

415

now my stuff can't go there anymore.

416

Starting your habits is hard.

417

kelly: Yeah.

418

boys: Well now I just have to find a

place that doesn't make it cluttered

419

kelly: or that your dogs can't reach.

420

boys: Yeah, he's wearing like

six inches off the ground anyway.

421

Can't reach my slice.

422

He does.

423

He, so we have a be on.

424

Really?

425

Yeah.

426

I used to

427

kelly: have a part Yorkie, part beach on.

428

Mm-hmm.

429

boys: Those are cute.

430

kelly: Yeah.

431

boys: Yeah.

432

You wouldn't expect it coming from

this fluff ball here, but he, it

433

freaks me out sometimes because.

434

I'm sure that they were using

like circuses at some point

435

because he will, I will look over

and he's just on his back paws.

436

Aw.

437

Like trying to get on something.

438

Yeah.

439

Which makes sense for most dogs, right.

440

But then he'll like walk

off of what he is on.

441

Like he'll just be on his back

paws and just walk backwards.

442

No way.

443

And like, look at me and I'm like.

444

You're supposed to fall.

445

That's a

446

kelly: talent.

447

boys: Yeah.

448

kelly: Yeah.

449

boys: I didn't know where you were going.

450

You said it should have

been part of the circus.

451

Oh yeah.

452

No, I was like, I have no clue.

453

Clue.

454

Felix likes literally he'll stand

up on two legs and just walk

455

around the side of a table and sit

and then just like, look at us.

456

I'm like, no.

457

Stop.

458

Sit down.

459

Just sit, be, be casual.

460

Um, I told you I go off the rails.

461

kelly: You have two dogs?

462

boys: Just one.

463

kelly: Oh, just one?

464

Okay.

465

I'm

466

boys: the other one.

467

Remember we had this.

468

Just kidding.

469

Um.

470

You should have been

here before the podcast.

471

Uh, do you have any dogs now?

472

kelly: Yeah, I have two.

473

boys: What you got?

474

kelly: Their names are Paddington

and Sawyer, and they're

475

both labradoodles miniature.

476

boys: How did you get,

477

kelly: how did what,

478

boys: how'd you get Paddington and Sawyer?

479

kelly: The name?

480

boys: Yeah.

481

kelly: Um, padding Paddington

was, you know, a puppy.

482

She looked like a little brown bear.

483

boys: Mm, okay.

484

Okay.

485

kelly: Yeah.

486

And I went to London years

ago and loved it and.

487

I just loved Paddington The Bear, I guess.

488

Yeah.

489

So, okay.

490

Yeah.

491

And Sawyer?

492

I don't know, it's just a name

I came up with that I liked.

493

boys: You didn't like

Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn?

494

kelly: No.

495

boys: Okay.

496

No, I was, I was trying to figure

out where you got Sawyer from.

497

That's a good name though.

498

It's a good

499

kelly: name.

500

Yeah.

501

boys: I only, you only know one lawyer.

502

Dunno if I know any,

503

kelly: it's a good name.

504

I like it for male or female.

505

boys: Oh, true.

506

That's true.

507

Yeah.

508

Good point.

509

I like that.

510

So talk about you and your

health and wellness kick.

511

Yeah.

512

How did you get into that?

513

Because I mean,

514

kelly: well, okay.

515

I've always had this need to be active.

516

Okay?

517

Mm-hmm.

518

I mean, I've danced since

I was three years old.

519

Then you get older, you

know, you're out of college.

520

Right.

521

And it's like, what are

you gonna do to be active?

522

For me, I didn't know, I wasn't like

a sports player, like growing up,

523

it was just dancer cheerleading.

524

Mm-hmm.

525

And then, uh,

526

boys: cheerleading's a sport.

527

kelly: Everything's a sport.

528

But I didn't, you know.

529

Partake in like those activities.

530

Oh, okay.

531

And so you get older and you're

like, what are you gonna do?

532

Just go to the gym?

533

I mean, I can't, so it became group

fitness for me because Makes sense.

534

I wasn't disciplined at the time myself

to just go into the gym and like work out.

535

And just being active moving here.

536

Wilmington, I think had like an amazing

active lifestyle, which drew me here.

537

I loved it.

538

It's still amazing.

539

All the things walking the loop,

there's run clubs everywhere, you know?

540

boys: Yeah.

541

I was surprised that we had

more than one, to be honest.

542

kelly: Yeah.

543

Do you run?

544

boys: No.

545

One of our,

546

kelly: would you consider it.

547

boys: Would I consider jogging?

548

Yeah,

549

kelly: jogging.

550

boys: Yeah.

551

kelly: Yeah,

552

boys: I can do it.

553

kelly: Okay.

554

Because I used not to be a runner.

555

boys: Oh, I can do it.

556

I have one of those bodies

where my wife hates it.

557

'cause I'll just get up and just run

like, literally like a jog, run around

558

my neighborhood and then like sit down.

559

Yeah.

560

And my wife is like, where

the did that energy come from?

561

I dunno.

562

And she hates like, we

went hiking one time.

563

Mm-hmm.

564

I don't ever go hiking, but

she's like, I like to hike.

565

We'll go.

566

And I was like, sure, we'll do it.

567

We, it was out western side of

the state and I'm just like, I'm

568

just gonna do my thing, you know?

569

kelly: Yeah.

570

boys: I don't wanna walk

'cause it makes it harder.

571

So I'm like jogging, like, and hiking.

572

Yeah.

573

Up the side of the mountain.

574

kelly: Okay.

575

boys: And I look back

and she's like 50 yards.

576

She's like, what the fuck are you doing?

577

I was like.

578

Well, it's harder if I like

one leg over the other Uhhuh.

579

He's like, bro, all I do is see

you sit and play video games.

580

How do you have the energy to

climb this side of the hill?

581

Like,

582

kelly: and you don't

know where it comes from.

583

It just,

584

boys: no, I just get up, just hits

585

kelly: you.

586

And then you go,

587

boys: yeah,

588

kelly: that's amazing.

589

It's

590

boys: that military in you.

591

kelly: Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

592

I was only,

593

boys: it was like very

594

kelly: minimal.

595

Oh, it

596

boys: was long enough for

it to, to create not mental.

597

It's like more

598

kelly: mental for you.

599

Yeah.

600

Yeah.

601

I can see that.

602

boys: That's good for me.

603

Yes.

604

So are you part of a few run clubs then?

605

kelly: Just one.

606

Just one, okay.

607

Which

608

boys: one?

609

kelly: Uh, the Wilmington Run Club.

610

Oh, okay.

611

Yeah, they switch a location every month.

612

Um, I joined that like a

year and a half ago, I guess.

613

It was a lot of fun.

614

And then me and a group of people

decided we'll train for the half.

615

boys: Oh yeah.

616

kelly: So we did that last year.

617

boys: How was it?

618

kelly: I'm surprised I did it.

619

boys: Why are you surprised?

620

kelly: I wasn't a runner?

621

I mean, I'm not a runner.

622

Yeah.

623

Um, but join a group and you'll

become a runner pretty quickly.

624

boys: Yeah.

625

Because you don't wanna be the last one.

626

kelly: Yeah.

627

And uh, yeah, I did the half and,

you know, well you was a pretty

628

big jump from, took a break.

629

No, it was jump.

630

Not, not from zero to at all.

631

It was a huge jump.

632

You're absolutely right.

633

And I could not have done that without

a group of people to do it with.

634

So,

635

boys: talk about mental though.

636

I mean, like, I.

637

I like to consider myself kind of active

and to think about running 13 miles right.

638

Is like insane to me.

639

kelly: Yeah.

640

But it won't feel insane once

you start doing like increments.

641

Okay.

642

boys: That makes sense.

643

Yeah.

644

If you

645

kelly: train, it doesn't feel

as daunting and overwhelming

646

as it right as it may wait.

647

So that's another,

648

boys: everyone's told me

to join a run club too.

649

Yeah.

650

How far do these people run?

651

Three.

652

And what do you have?

653

Three.

654

Oh, okay.

655

So like no matter how advanced you are or

how much of a beginning you are, you're

656

running basically a 5K and that's it.

657

kelly: Anybody can do it.

658

boys: Okay.

659

kelly: Like any pace.

660

It's, it's just a group

of, you know, comradery.

661

It's not like a competition and I don't

know, everybody's just really cool.

662

boys: Yeah, I was always

curious how that worked.

663

So, years ago I was in a.

664

Drinking club with a running problem.

665

Oh.

666

Um, it's was the, have

you ever heard of them?

667

I have, yeah.

668

Where, where did you do this at?

669

Oh, there, we, there was

a hash club downtown.

670

Oh, okay.

671

Um,

672

kelly: here, I'm assuming.

673

Okay.

674

Yeah.

675

boys: Downtown Wilmington.

676

And they're like all over the world.

677

Yeah.

678

So like I had a friend who was like, Hey

Chris, we're going to this bar and we're

679

gonna run a little bit, and then we'll.

680

And we will drink some.

681

kelly: What's a little bit?

682

boys: Well, it depends on

how much you wanna drink.

683

kelly: Oh, okay.

684

The running is like a

ratio for the drinking.

685

boys: Yeah.

686

kelly: Oh, so like

687

boys: you meet at a bar.

688

Okay.

689

From what I know, obviously

this has been a while Sure.

690

Since I've done it, but you meet at a

bar, everyone gets together, um, and

691

there's a guy who, guy girl person

who goes out beforehand and does the,

692

and they're called the, the hair.

693

I think they go around and set the track.

694

You can literally just try and your

goal is just to get to the next bar.

695

And then there you get a drink

and then you go to the next bar.

696

kelly: That sounds fun.

697

Um,

698

boys: and then like they have some that

are set up where it's like if you're a

699

runner versus a walker, 'cause you all

kind of wanna stop at the same point.

700

So it's like, take the shortcut.

701

Okay, this spot and then it's based

off of, you'll have to look up the

702

story 'cause I'm gonna butcher it.

703

But there was a story of like, all

these guys went out drinking and like.

704

One of the Asian countries and

they're like, we need to get back

705

'cause they're in the military.

706

Like, we gotta get back where

we're supposed to be, but.

707

They were mid middle of a city and they

were like, we are too drunk to get back.

708

In order for us to not fall out, we

just have to maintain our alcohol.

709

So like they would just hit stops

and drink a little bit more to

710

push through the pain of like

walking because they were way, way.

711

Oh my

712

kelly: goodness.

713

boys: So does

714

kelly: that still exist now

here in downtown Wilmington?

715

Do you know this group?

716

boys: Yeah.

717

I'm 98% positive.

718

kelly: If not, you should start one.

719

I am serious.

720

boys: I I'm pretty sure it would

be perfect for a Western, so

721

the reason I know about it Yeah.

722

Is 'cause of the poor house in, in Spivey.

723

Yeah.

724

Yeah.

725

So Francis, one of my friends

was on here in year one.

726

Uh, she's a medic in the, in

the army, in the National Guard.

727

And she got me into it and

I'm, and now I'm just like, I

728

should look into this again.

729

But you know, it's the Poor House and

Joe Epic, Karen runs that place now.

730

That's funny.

731

The fact that you didn't know about it.

732

No, I've never even heard of it.

733

Yeah.

734

Whoops.

735

I'm sorry.

736

I just gave it away.

737

It's supposed to be secret.

738

Should

739

kelly: work on their social

media marketing and then we

740

hear about it a little bit more.

741

boys: Well, no, they,

maybe it's quiet in class.

742

Maybe they weren't supposed

for people to know about it.

743

kelly: Oh, okay.

744

That makes sense.

745

It's actually

746

boys: illegal to do like, so.

747

Okay.

748

You just like let everyone

know and we'll move it.

749

Okay, so

750

Hash House Harriers is

what they're called.

751

Say that again?

752

Hash house Harriers.

753

Okay.

754

kelly: Okay.

755

boys: We need to get to, alright,

so we went way off the track.

756

So bring it kind of a little bit closer

where we're talking about running.

757

Yeah.

758

So you don't think you're gonna do

another half marathon At the moment, I do

759

kelly: not have any

intentions to do another half.

760

I mean, it.

761

I don't know how to explain it, because

during the training, I felt good.

762

And then you finished and then right

up into, you know, to the event.

763

Right.

764

And the day of the event.

765

I mean, I finished and everybody

talks about this runner's high.

766

I've never experienced it.

767

Never.

768

Me neither.

769

Never.

770

I mean, maybe like a week later

I was like, oh, wow, I can't

771

believe I actually did that.

772

That's awesome.

773

That's great.

774

But that's it, right?

775

You know?

776

boys: That's funny.

777

kelly: Yeah.

778

boys: And I like

779

kelly: to run now, but not long distance.

780

So

781

boys: what made you wanna start

getting into the run club then?

782

Was it just something to like Yeah,

change it up a little bit, or, yeah,

783

kelly: yeah.

784

Yeah.

785

And three miles is is

not bad for, for anybody.

786

No.

787

Um, but yeah, I think we just

needed to change or wanted to

788

add something into the routine.

789

So a group of us decided to start going

to run clubs together and it was fun.

790

boys: Oh, nice.

791

kelly: Yeah.

792

And then it just led into half, you know?

793

Right.

794

It happens.

795

boys: Uh, no,

796

kelly: it happens.

797

I promise.

798

It'll take you by surprise.

799

boys: The only time I've

ever like been like,

800

kelly: oh,

801

boys: I gotta go running or go

any long distance is because

802

the military told me I had to.

803

Mm-hmm.

804

Yeah.

805

Which

806

kelly: I thought the same thing

thing, but join a run club

807

and you'll see a difference.

808

boys: That'll be our goal.

809

By the time 2030 hits, I'll have.

810

2030.

811

See?

812

kelly: All right.

813

Well, it's a goal.

814

Yes.

815

Nothing wrong with that.

816

I will

817

boys: get to at least two outings

818

kelly: Okay.

819

By

820

boys: then.

821

kelly: Okay.

822

You heard it here first.

823

I was

824

boys: gonna say, yeah.

825

It's lives in, in perpetuity

now on the internet.

826

Yes.

827

Someone will hold you to it.

828

Yes.

829

I don't know who it is, but someone will.

830

Someone will.

831

Yes.

832

Um, outside of running mm-hmm.

833

What do you, what do

you do for your fitness?

834

kelly: Mm.

835

F 45.

836

Mm.

837

boys: Mm-hmm.

838

I hear that's a good thing.

839

kelly: I love it.

840

Um, a mix of cardio and strength,

but leaning toward more strength

841

training than cardio these days.

842

Mm-hmm.

843

I do Pilates.

844

Okay.

845

Um, yoga and walking.

846

Okay.

847

Yeah,

848

boys: the loop.

849

kelly: Yeah, the loop.

850

Aiming for 10,000 steps a day.

851

boys: It seems like a lot, but it's not.

852

kelly: It's, well, if you're, it's hard.

853

I can't imagine what people do if

they're sitting at a desk all day.

854

Mm-hmm.

855

Yeah.

856

You know, get one of those walking pads

and, and do it under the computer if

857

you need to, because if I don't have a

858

boys: chance to go out and

walk throughout my day mm-hmm.

859

Because I am mostly like at my desk.

860

Right.

861

But usually I try to take like

two breaks to like go walk around.

862

There's actually a really nice walking

trail behind here, believe it or not.

863

kelly: Oh cool.

864

boys: Yeah.

865

Um, but anyway.

866

If I don't do that,

867

kelly: yeah.

868

boys: It's super easy for me to

869

Right.

870

And like there's people

that do that every day.

871

True.

872

Well, I'm in retail so I even when I'm

sitting down, I'm, I end up walking a lot

873

'cause I gotta go wander around the store.

874

Yeah.

875

Um, but I also.

876

Think that unfortunately you guys

are shorter, so like steps wise,

877

we have more steps, wouldn't it?

878

Is that not true?

879

Do you not take more steps?

880

You are right, because my gym coach

in high school used to make fun of me

881

because I would run next to the tallest

guy in class and he was like, you have

882

to like put your legs like three or

four times for like Kyle's one stride.

883

kelly: Yeah, it's true.

884

boys: So short people, you have

a, it's a, a little silver lining.

885

You can get.

886

More sip in a day

compared to a tall person.

887

So not near far if you're traveling.

888

Oh, so it's an excuse,

889

kelly: is that what you're saying?

890

Yeah.

891

You're using it like justification for

892

boys: not, I'm saying

I'm applauding you guys.

893

You have a better take.

894

Smaller steps.

895

Oh,

896

kelly: thank you.

897

Yeah, because you, you are

working a little harder.

898

boys: Take smaller steps then I

could, you're just like waddle.

899

Sorry.

900

See, I told you.

901

kelly: No, you're good.

902

boys: Sitting with the girls you got,

903

kelly: I mean,

904

boys: yes.

905

Yeah, because Chris had all of six sips

of the THC drink during the last episode.

906

Oh, no.

907

That's not the reason.

908

I'm just having fun.

909

kelly: Oh, okay.

910

THC drinks.

911

So there's 10 milligrams in those

912

boys: if you drink the whole thing.

913

kelly: But you only had six sips.

914

boys: Yes.

915

That might be an overexaggeration too.

916

Yes.

917

Sarcasm.

918

I didn't actually drink six sips.

919

kelly: Oh, good.

920

Yeah.

921

boys: So I'm gonna ask

interesting question.

922

Okay.

923

Because you're not from here,

924

kelly: I'm not,

925

boys: you've been here a little bit.

926

Um, how did you build your

community up, like one on social

927

media and then secondly like.

928

The people that you

surround yourself with?

929

kelly: Oh, that's a really good question.

930

Um, I was fortunate to have a best

friend who lived here before I

931

moved here, and I met some of her

friends over the years visiting her.

932

And I think my, like local

community comes from the gyms.

933

boys: Okay.

934

Mm-hmm.

935

kelly: Honestly, um, you meet so many

people and I'm going to so many gyms, so

936

that helps.

937

And then online, I really,

I don't know how it grew.

938

Um, I think two years

ago I did 75 hard mm-hmm.

939

At the beginning of the year.

940

And, you know, that's a

major thing that everybody's

941

thinking about doing or mm-hmm.

942

Maybe doing.

943

boys: Yeah.

944

We tried it.

945

He did try, well, he was only a couple

days away from like finishing it.

946

I finished it like three times before.

947

Yeah.

948

kelly: Awesome.

949

I, I needed something,

so that's why I did it.

950

I needed something like to

prove to myself at the time.

951

Right.

952

And again, that was another thing that I

was like, I can't believe I did it, but

953

I did it and then I attempted live hard.

954

Mm-hmm.

955

So the thing for the year and I got to

like five days left and got the flu.

956

boys: Oh no.

957

kelly: Took me out.

958

So I couldn't complete.

959

Oh, that's

960

boys: crazy.

961

You couldn't go outside.

962

kelly: I couldn't physically

move or do anything.

963

You had the actual flu, the, yeah.

964

Oh, okay.

965

Not people just

966

boys: having a small cold.

967

Yeah, no, I had the flu.

968

kelly: It took me down.

969

boys: Yeah.

970

kelly: Yeah.

971

boys: Interesting.

972

kelly: Yeah,

973

boys: just probably saw a huge improvement

and probably just about every part of your

974

life after doing the live hard program.

975

kelly: Oh, yeah.

976

boys: Yeah.

977

kelly: Yeah.

978

I mean, I wanna do it

again, but I kind of don't.

979

At the same time,

980

boys: Andy Fra started a new

program, the operator standard.

981

kelly: Oh, I haven't heard about it.

982

It's

983

boys: a paid group program thing.

984

He's making like an AI culture almost.

985

kelly: Okay.

986

Of

987

boys: people who like, like

people, the people that

988

typically do 75 hardwood mm-hmm.

989

Willingly every year, um, those

people join the operator standard.

990

And so you have basically

a paid Facebook of.

991

Like different tasks to do AI you

can use to like help improve your day

992

in a community to talk to and stuff.

993

kelly: I mean, that sounds cool.

994

boys: Yeah, it's really neat.

995

kelly: Yeah.

996

I just don't want anything

like intense at the moment.

997

Okay.

998

After doing 75 hard, that was in 2024.

999

And then last year, the training

for the half this year, I was

00:29:43,985 --> 00:29:45,365

like, I'm coming in softer.

00:29:45,515 --> 00:29:45,995

boys: Okay.

00:29:46,865 --> 00:29:47,075

Yeah.

00:29:47,075 --> 00:29:47,855

Pretty big things.

00:29:47,885 --> 00:29:48,125

Yeah.

00:29:48,125 --> 00:29:49,895

But Pilates isn't soft.

00:29:50,105 --> 00:29:50,765

kelly: Have you done it?

00:29:51,245 --> 00:29:51,425

boys: No.

00:29:52,115 --> 00:29:52,565

kelly: Wait.

00:29:52,655 --> 00:29:53,225

Really?

00:29:53,525 --> 00:29:53,795

boys: Yeah.

00:29:54,185 --> 00:29:54,470

kelly: Would you try.

00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:58,025

boys: Of course we, we just started,

we should bring Kelly to Paradise.

00:29:58,025 --> 00:29:59,390

So we started, we started the episode.

00:29:59,690 --> 00:30:01,760

She looked at us, she's

like, I brought cherries.

00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,240

Will you try it?

00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,610

And I'm like, yeah, Tyler and

I will try almost anything.

00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:05,870

kelly: Oh, I'd love to hear that.

00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:06,020

Yeah.

00:30:06,350 --> 00:30:06,620

Okay.

00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:07,280

I am the same way.

00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:07,610

boys: Yeah.

00:30:07,670 --> 00:30:13,850

We, um, so we have a friend, Brittany

got us up to like surf city area.

00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:14,060

Okay.

00:30:14,185 --> 00:30:15,110

Two years ago.

00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:16,010

And.

00:30:16,790 --> 00:30:20,090

We interviewed, they

have multiple shops now.

00:30:20,090 --> 00:30:20,235

They have like three.

00:30:20,235 --> 00:30:21,080

They have like three.

00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:21,470

Yeah.

00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:25,400

Um, so we interviewed the

owner of Paradise Pilates.

00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:25,820

Okay.

00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,570

kelly: Nice.

00:30:26,570 --> 00:30:28,880

boys: And we challenged ourselves.

00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,400

So there will be one episode at some point

00:30:31,850 --> 00:30:32,930

kelly: that y'all are in perpetuity,

00:30:32,930 --> 00:30:33,770

boys: that we will Yeah.

00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:35,720

Interview someone while

trying to do Pilates.

00:30:36,925 --> 00:30:37,145

Yes.

00:30:37,985 --> 00:30:39,005

That's what our, I

00:30:39,245 --> 00:30:41,045

kelly: can I just come

to the class and watch?

00:30:41,045 --> 00:30:41,795

Yeah, we can do that.

00:30:41,855 --> 00:30:42,005

Okay.

00:30:42,965 --> 00:30:47,705

boys: Our goal this year is to try and,

or do we need to get a 500 or 1,005?

00:30:47,705 --> 00:30:50,525

Oh, so we we're, we're trying

to get a 500 subscribers.

00:30:50,675 --> 00:30:50,855

Okay.

00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:51,200

On YouTube.

00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,025

On YouTube, okay.

00:30:52,205 --> 00:30:53,015

kelly: You'll, you'll do it.

00:30:53,465 --> 00:30:53,945

boys: Yes.

00:30:54,095 --> 00:30:56,915

Because once we get a thousand, then

we'll definitely have to go do Pilates.

00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:57,760

kelly: Okay.

00:30:58,205 --> 00:31:03,005

boys: So I'm hoping this you have,

I would love for it to be this year,

00:31:03,005 --> 00:31:04,355

but I'm hoping not at the same time.

00:31:06,290 --> 00:31:07,610

Or I should just try Pilates.

00:31:07,610 --> 00:31:10,010

If we hit a thousand, we

are spending a lot of money.

00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,885

'cause on every episode for the last

like six episodes, something like,

00:31:13,885 --> 00:31:15,205

you're gonna do this and you can do that.

00:31:15,905 --> 00:31:18,230

We, I've only done, so

we're gonna do a giveaway.

00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:18,350

Okay.

00:31:18,350 --> 00:31:20,000

We're gonna go to Kentucky.

00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,740

We're, we're going to Pilates now.

00:31:21,740 --> 00:31:21,830

Big

00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:22,970

kelly: things for a thousand.

00:31:22,970 --> 00:31:23,360

Yeah.

00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,500

All the things.

00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,530

boys: I mean, we're coming up on

year four, the podcast, so, oh,

00:31:27,530 --> 00:31:28,280

kelly: nice.

00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:29,165

So I didn't know that.

00:31:29,185 --> 00:31:29,605

Mm-hmm.

00:31:29,715 --> 00:31:30,005

Okay.

00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:30,470

I think

00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:33,950

boys: five would be a good

year to just probably, right.

00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:35,000

kelly: Yeah.

00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:39,980

boys: So what is your goal for

this year as a New Year's person

00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:41,420

with resolutions and stuff?

00:31:42,140 --> 00:31:43,699

kelly: Um, to lift heavier.

00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,169

boys: Good one.

00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:47,240

Do you have like,

00:31:48,049 --> 00:31:48,439

kelly: Nope.

00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:50,389

boys: It's just in your mind.

00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:51,559

Just heavier than last year?

00:31:51,589 --> 00:31:51,919

kelly: Yeah.

00:31:52,249 --> 00:31:52,609

boys: Okay.

00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:53,059

kelly: Yeah.

00:31:53,569 --> 00:31:55,609

boys: Have you noticed yourself,

like kind of at a plateau from where

00:31:55,609 --> 00:31:56,779

you started to where you are now?

00:31:56,809 --> 00:31:57,379

Yes.

00:31:57,409 --> 00:31:57,799

Yeah.

00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,279

kelly: Yeah.

00:31:59,149 --> 00:32:01,819

boys: So I was watching this thing, so

this is why I'm asking these questions.

00:32:01,849 --> 00:32:01,879

Okay.

00:32:02,239 --> 00:32:04,909

Um, and they were talking

about like, so many people.

00:32:05,239 --> 00:32:08,779

Have a goal and once they hit it,

they're like, I don't know what to do.

00:32:09,349 --> 00:32:09,949

kelly: Yes.

00:32:10,009 --> 00:32:10,489

That was me.

00:32:10,489 --> 00:32:13,009

That was the reason I went

for live hard as oppo.

00:32:13,069 --> 00:32:14,059

Like after 75.

00:32:14,059 --> 00:32:14,539

Hard Right.

00:32:14,989 --> 00:32:16,219

For I went like a month.

00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:16,639

Oh no.

00:32:16,639 --> 00:32:18,679

I went a really long

time not doing anything.

00:32:18,739 --> 00:32:19,009

Yeah.

00:32:19,099 --> 00:32:22,099

And it got to the summer and I was

like, I've gotta do another challenge.

00:32:22,099 --> 00:32:22,159

Yeah.

00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:23,389

What am I gonna do?

00:32:23,389 --> 00:32:23,479

Right.

00:32:24,199 --> 00:32:25,249

So yeah, that is true.

00:32:25,249 --> 00:32:33,379

Like once you start doing things and

it kind of surprises you, like, oh wow.

00:32:33,439 --> 00:32:33,649

I'm.

00:32:34,264 --> 00:32:35,884

I can't believe I'm, I can do this.

00:32:35,889 --> 00:32:35,949

Mm-hmm.

00:32:36,029 --> 00:32:36,994

I can't believe I have discipline.

00:32:36,994 --> 00:32:38,764

I can't believe I can motivate myself.

00:32:38,914 --> 00:32:39,124

Right.

00:32:39,154 --> 00:32:40,894

It just makes you wanna do more and more.

00:32:41,134 --> 00:32:41,524

boys: Yes.

00:32:42,034 --> 00:32:43,474

kelly: So growth is always good.

00:32:44,284 --> 00:32:44,524

boys: It's scary.

00:32:44,524 --> 00:32:47,224

That's definitely been like the number

one thing after I, after I did the

00:32:47,224 --> 00:32:52,204

75 hard program the first time, I was

like, oh, I can actually do hard things.

00:32:52,204 --> 00:32:52,264

Yeah.

00:32:52,264 --> 00:32:54,724

Like I can stay with

something for 75 days.

00:32:54,784 --> 00:32:55,144

kelly: Right.

00:32:55,234 --> 00:32:55,694

boys: And like.

00:32:56,344 --> 00:33:00,364

I've done so much since then in

different aspects of my life.

00:33:00,364 --> 00:33:03,724

I was like, I probably never would've

done it without doing 75 hard first.

00:33:03,814 --> 00:33:04,864

kelly: It's contagious.

00:33:04,865 --> 00:33:05,134

boys: Mm-hmm.

00:33:05,614 --> 00:33:05,944

kelly: Yeah,

00:33:06,514 --> 00:33:09,754

boys: and like what Andy says

too, it's it's not like you get

00:33:09,754 --> 00:33:12,394

quick fix like scheme at all.

00:33:12,454 --> 00:33:12,814

No.

00:33:12,814 --> 00:33:14,314

And also it's not.

00:33:14,734 --> 00:33:16,354

For the sake of like just looking better.

00:33:16,384 --> 00:33:19,684

You will, but it's a

mental toughness program.

00:33:19,689 --> 00:33:20,079

It does so much more.

00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,144

It's not a diet, it's

not anything like that.

00:33:22,144 --> 00:33:25,654

It's a mental toughness program to prove

to yourself that you are mentally tough.

00:33:25,659 --> 00:33:25,799

Right.

00:33:25,804 --> 00:33:28,054

You just happen to get the

benefits along the way.

00:33:28,234 --> 00:33:29,734

Guess that's what happens

when you're mentally tough.

00:33:29,854 --> 00:33:30,034

kelly: Yeah.

00:33:30,724 --> 00:33:31,655

You said it perfectly

00:33:32,374 --> 00:33:34,444

boys: us to a lot of

Andy Ello, so Oh, do you?

00:33:37,144 --> 00:33:38,044

Which isn't a bad thing.

00:33:39,514 --> 00:33:43,024

Uh, when I listen to it in the

car, Jennifer's always like,

00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:45,184

why is he yelling all the time?

00:33:46,264 --> 00:33:48,394

It's like, yes, that sounds accurate.

00:33:48,934 --> 00:33:52,954

So, talking about chilling in, in the

car, what do you listen to music wise?

00:33:52,984 --> 00:33:53,554

In the car?

00:33:53,614 --> 00:33:53,854

Yeah,

00:33:53,944 --> 00:33:54,934

kelly: music wise.

00:33:55,564 --> 00:34:02,614

Um, you know, it's, it's, I listen

to my playlist so much when I'm

00:34:02,614 --> 00:34:05,704

walking and exercising that when

I'm in the car, I'm the oddball

00:34:05,704 --> 00:34:07,354

that wants to listen to the radio.

00:34:07,669 --> 00:34:10,219

So it's at, it's selling 95.5

00:34:10,219 --> 00:34:12,049

all the time, which is

like the Christian station.

00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:12,649

Okay.

00:34:12,799 --> 00:34:13,069

Yeah.

00:34:13,309 --> 00:34:14,424

boys: It's 95.5

00:34:14,569 --> 00:34:16,009

is, is it 90.5

00:34:16,009 --> 00:34:17,059

or 95.5?

00:34:17,509 --> 00:34:19,429

kelly: I think it's 95.5.

00:34:19,429 --> 00:34:19,909

boys: Dang.

00:34:19,998 --> 00:34:20,239

I dunno.

00:34:20,688 --> 00:34:25,609

The last time I've inflation, they moved

up five point growing up they were 95.

00:34:25,609 --> 00:34:26,779

I guess I could be wrong

about that's, maybe

00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:27,739

kelly: it's 90.5.

00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:28,938

I don't know a clue.

00:34:29,029 --> 00:34:30,319

It just stays on that station.

00:34:30,319 --> 00:34:31,159

I never change it.

00:34:31,309 --> 00:34:31,969

Oh yeah.

00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:32,989

boys: Well.

00:34:34,143 --> 00:34:37,293

I just don't listen to

the radio that much.

00:34:37,444 --> 00:34:37,984

kelly: Yeah.

00:34:38,554 --> 00:34:41,134

boys: Mostly 'cause of my drive to

work I thought was only 10 minutes

00:34:41,134 --> 00:34:42,514

and just found out it's like 20.

00:34:43,054 --> 00:34:46,924

Um, it's a lot shorter slash

longer than I expected.

00:34:46,978 --> 00:34:47,268

kelly: Yeah.

00:34:49,414 --> 00:34:49,684

boys: Oh wow.

00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:55,054

So, so after you've moved to Wilmington,

um, talking about being here for a while.

00:34:56,418 --> 00:34:58,039

Do you say just a few years?

00:34:58,429 --> 00:35:00,199

Um, do you plan on staying here?

00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:03,979

Is this like home now or do you plan

on going anywhere else and traveling?

00:35:03,979 --> 00:35:04,039

No,

00:35:04,054 --> 00:35:04,339

kelly: it's, it's home.

00:35:04,879 --> 00:35:05,089

boys: Yeah.

00:35:05,089 --> 00:35:05,209

I'll

00:35:05,210 --> 00:35:05,899

kelly: travel.

00:35:06,829 --> 00:35:07,489

Yeah, right.

00:35:07,494 --> 00:35:08,179

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:35:08,269 --> 00:35:09,979

boys: But not like travel to live.

00:35:10,009 --> 00:35:10,369

Nope.

00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:10,729

Yeah.

00:35:10,909 --> 00:35:11,179

kelly: Nope.

00:35:11,269 --> 00:35:12,379

I'm saying here.

00:35:12,859 --> 00:35:13,339

boys: That's awesome.

00:35:13,429 --> 00:35:13,909

Yeah.

00:35:13,909 --> 00:35:14,269

Interest.

00:35:14,509 --> 00:35:16,309

kelly: I wanna be close to family and

00:35:16,759 --> 00:35:17,359

boys: Makes sense.

00:35:17,689 --> 00:35:18,079

kelly: Yeah.

00:35:19,879 --> 00:35:21,349

boys: Most of the family

still live in Wilson then.

00:35:21,829 --> 00:35:22,669

kelly: Um.

00:35:23,329 --> 00:35:24,079

Currently.

00:35:24,259 --> 00:35:26,119

Yeah, but they're looking to move here.

00:35:26,509 --> 00:35:26,989

boys: Nice.

00:35:27,019 --> 00:35:27,109

kelly: It's

00:35:27,110 --> 00:35:28,099

boys: Brunswick County, right?

00:35:28,249 --> 00:35:28,639

kelly: Yeah.

00:35:29,899 --> 00:35:31,369

boys: Wouldn't move to

Wilmington at this point.

00:35:31,489 --> 00:35:32,449

No, please don't.

00:35:32,929 --> 00:35:34,339

Wilmington is a horrible place to live.

00:35:34,969 --> 00:35:37,939

You really want to live in

Brunswick County, right.

00:35:38,029 --> 00:35:41,419

There's been so many people that

are like, Wilmington is closed.

00:35:41,569 --> 00:35:42,349

Go up.

00:35:42,349 --> 00:35:42,889

Yeah,

00:35:43,339 --> 00:35:43,819

kelly: I know.

00:35:44,449 --> 00:35:45,949

boys: I I'm not gonna say it's close.

00:35:45,949 --> 00:35:46,939

I just like to pick.

00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:47,359

I know.

00:35:47,389 --> 00:35:47,959

Please come.

00:35:47,959 --> 00:35:50,389

We, we love your investment

in our community.

00:35:51,184 --> 00:35:53,764

I live in Brentsville County, so you can

come here and do anything that you want.

00:35:54,604 --> 00:35:55,294

I'll leave five.

00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:56,584

That's how we go back and forth.

00:35:57,124 --> 00:35:57,604

Um,

00:36:00,544 --> 00:36:01,834

dose questions.

00:36:01,924 --> 00:36:02,194

Okay.

00:36:02,284 --> 00:36:06,934

Uh, so you've been here living

your life and everything.

00:36:06,964 --> 00:36:07,324

Yeah.

00:36:07,444 --> 00:36:09,364

Uh, but you listen to Christian music.

00:36:09,364 --> 00:36:09,454

Sure.

00:36:11,704 --> 00:36:11,944

You.

00:36:12,244 --> 00:36:13,294

kelly: I am nervous where

you're going with this.

00:36:14,314 --> 00:36:14,644

No.

00:36:14,704 --> 00:36:15,274

You never know what

00:36:15,275 --> 00:36:20,314

boys: that in general, my question

is like one, how have you kept

00:36:20,314 --> 00:36:23,794

your faith or like what has allowed

you to keep your faith listening?

00:36:24,184 --> 00:36:26,644

Like I'm assuming that

you're Christian, which is

00:36:26,914 --> 00:36:27,214

kelly: I am.

00:36:27,214 --> 00:36:27,394

Yeah.

00:36:28,174 --> 00:36:28,414

boys: Yeah.

00:36:28,414 --> 00:36:32,134

Um, like with everything, like what has

helped you grow in that part of your life?

00:36:32,224 --> 00:36:32,494

kelly: Hmm.

00:36:33,334 --> 00:36:37,054

Um, that's a good question and I'm

not sure I have an answer for it.

00:36:37,264 --> 00:36:37,954

I really.

00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:46,084

I don't know how to live without

faith, if that makes sense.

00:36:46,114 --> 00:36:46,204

Mm-hmm.

00:36:46,564 --> 00:36:50,014

I mean, there were times in my life

where it wasn't as strong as it is today.

00:36:50,194 --> 00:36:50,314

Right.

00:36:50,614 --> 00:36:56,134

But once I became so dependent on

it, I can't imagine not going back
