Welcome to GT radio on the Geek Therapy network here Geek Therapy. We believe that the best way to understand each other and ourselves through the media we care about with you today in order of oldest to youngest, Lara Taylor.
Lara Taylor 0:55
Hi.
Josué Cardona 0:57
I’m Josué Cardona. Link Keller
Lara Taylor 1:00
he’s only a month younger than me.
Josué Cardona 1:03
Link Keller.
Link Keller 1:04
Hello.
Josué Cardona 1:06
I’m Marc Cuiriz.
Marc Cuiriz 1:08
Hello, everybody.
Josué Cardona 1:11
Age before beauty Lara, what is up? What are we doing? Today? What’s the topic?
Lara Taylor 1:17
Listen, I went to go see the new Indiana Jones movie. And without spoiling anything about the movie, I can tell you that Harrison Ford is old and he’s in the movie. And there’s this theme of like finding your place he’s he’s passing on a torch. We’ve talked about that before with some several other things. But this like, what do I do now? Is obsolescence feeling this feeling old and outdated. It’s funny that I want to bring this up. And I’m like, it’s a way of me processing how old I’m getting because I’m going to be 40 this year. But according to link, we’re all turning 40
Link Keller 2:00
We are all turning, even you dear listener, happy birthday
Lara Taylor 2:04
no matter how old are.
Link Keller 2:05
happy 40th birthday
Josué Cardona 2:07
Lara Sorry, you had to skip your nap to come record? I know.
Lara Taylor 2:10
I know. I know. Listen, listen. Most days, I do take a nap right before we record. I wake up 15 minutes before we record. Today I did not taking that because I was playing tears at the kingdom. But this idea of well, I’m getting older. And the funny thing is, according to people, I am still a young person. I am 39. And then when I hit 40, I will I will be I will no longer be a young person, but doesn’t mean unnecessarily obsolete. But I am feeling like it feels weird to have friends that are a lot younger than me. And I have some friends that are a lot younger than me. I feel like I’m keeping up with things. But you know,I don’t know
Josué Cardona 3:03
We’ll test you in a bit.
Lara Taylor 3:04
We’ll see.
Josué Cardona 3:05
Yeah.
Lara Taylor 3:08
I don’t know, Marc. Also, as our resident young person does not know all the things. I’m just throwing that out there.
Marc Cuiriz 3:16
You know, you’re right. I absolutely don’t. This when you mentioned like friends like being a lot younger than you. That brought me back to when I worked at a trampoline like Park thing. And I was the only employee aside from the the head manager that was over the age of 20. And I was like, I think I was 23. And everyone else was like 15-16. And I felt so old compared to everybody and the things these kids were saying I was like, What? What are you What, what does that mean? And they would just look at me.
Lara Taylor 4:02
Yeah, ya no, last year when I was volunteering at my summer camp, I had the realization that I was I had been going to that summer camp longer than anyone on the staff had been alive. And that was a weird sensation.
Josué Cardona 4:16
can you say that again?
Lara Taylor 4:16
I had been going to that summer camp longer than anyone on the staff had been alive. And I have some friends from who are on the staff. And one of my closest friends now is about to be 23 but this friend is very much into the idea that we’re all turning 40 Because he has a horrible back and it’s just like, You know what? I’m turning 40, too. So, there’s that
Josué Cardona 4:50
42?
Lara Taylor 4:51
40 also 40 also, T O O, not T W O um, but it’s just interesting seeing And we did get, I tried to ignore the fourth Indiana Jones movie. But seeing Indiana Jones who is this, like action hero, and he still is in this movie and the new one, but seeing him go from this younger guy to running next door to the neighbors and telling them to turn them fucking music down. I, I related to that very much, too much a little too much. And it just, it just had me thinking about where I am in my life. And like, I don’t know what it’s like getting old and changing times. And not necessarily being in my 20s anymore, because I haven’t been in my 20s for almost a decade
Josué Cardona 5:55
or more almost two decades.
Lara Taylor 5:57
No, I was in my 20s Literally 10 years ago.
Josué Cardona 6:02
Right? I forgot how
Link Keller 6:04
That’s not how math works, Josué. It’s okay, you’re turning 40.
Lara Taylor 6:07
stop trying to make me be older.
Link Keller 6:10
Math is hard when you become forty, everyone. look out.
Josué Cardona 6:15
Yeah. What was it that you related the most to in the movie? Like that, that part of?
Lara Taylor 6:19
I think, like right now I’m not at the age that he’s at. I’m not at retirement age. I’m not thinking about like, what do I do after my career? Although sometimes I get into this existential brain where I’m like, What am I gonna do after? Am I ever gonna get to retire? Absolutely not, because that’s not how the world works anymore. Um, but I did relate to, like, oh, things are changing. New generations are thinking about things differently. And I’m trying to keep my brain flexible and able to, like, at least see their perspectives. I’m trying to think of a good example of that, and it has escaped me. But I don’t know. I don’t know. I work with a lot of young people. They seem to think I’m young. Literally, I had a client tell me this week, she thought I was 28. So, I don’t know.
Josué Cardona 7:20
But do you how do you feel?
Lara Taylor 7:23
Old? I am tired.
Link Keller 7:24
69!!! NICE!! But really, no, I’m so tired. And my bones hurt
Lara Taylor 7:32
very tired. And my bones hurt. And I work on my house all the time. That feels like an old person thing. Like I’m working on my house all the time. Although, you know, I have
Link Keller 7:47
have your little projects and your HGTV H G TV.
Lara Taylor 7:52
And I sit in front of the TV crocheting,
Link Keller 7:55
and you have your own recliner. That’s your spot.
Lara Taylor 7:58
I do. It’s on the couch
Josué Cardona 8:00
that’s not true, right?
Lara Taylor 8:01
It’s all these things are true.
Marc Cuiriz 8:04
I wish i had a recliner
Lara Taylor 8:05
HGTV is on. Listen, Nina has the recliner. I’ve got the recliner in the couch. But we’ve had those for quite some time now.
Marc Cuiriz 8:18
I will say my, my mother in law, she had a rocking chair. And the rocking chair was my wife’s. But whenever we would go over there, that was my chair. I always sat in that chair. So now it’s with us. And even though it’s in our bedroom, like when we bring it downstairs really when we need extra chairs or whatever. T...
