Dominique Hackett 2:22 Well, Alex couldn't make it. Life happens, so I'm going to take the topic that he talked about and what's

Erica Salda 2:29 going to be the topic self fitness. Yep, is there a title to it or no? Fitness as a life skill. I like that. I like that. I could tell you this. I mean, I know getting my kids involved with the trainer and having them do the whole fitness rigor as kids started them really young, 810, years old. I mean, they're in their 30s now, and they work out every day. And it's something that when you start that habit, it's an amazing when you put your body and you count your body as a temple, and you're watching the food that you eat, and you're watching the things that your body needs, super, super important. Those are one of those things. I mean, give myself five stars for that. Then we got Don Sanders. Today, we got Don Sanders is going to be doing a hookah. What's the hookah about today? Don it's

Don 3:19 about the importance of connection.

Kristine Haugh 3:37 about, you know? Um, well, you know, actually, the main thing is that we're coming up on the solstice, which is, I would say, is it the big out breath? It's the big out breath that talk about connection, at least on the northern hemisphere here, it's where this, it's the longest day of the year. It is that time to get out in the sunshine and connect and and really, you know, you know, socialize here in Santa Barbara, is we have a parade, and we have a lot of fun things going on, and so it's that time of the year versus, you know, the so we're the summer solstice versus the winter solstice, which is the big in breath, where we all go inside. Yeah? So this is expanded time. Yeah.
