Welcome to. There is a Method to the Madness. My name is Rob Maxwell, I'm an exercise physiologist and personal trainer. I'm the owner of Maxwell's Fitness Programs and I've been in business since 1994. The purpose of this podcast is to get to the real deal of what really works and, most importantly, why things work, chasing the science.

All right, without further ado, I have Miss Casey Ruschetti here with me today and she's been training with me for a couple of years, but I've known her a little bit longer than that and I think Casey's an amazing story with her fitness. I mean, we've come so far and she did a physique competition about a year ago, a little bit over a year ago, and you know, I just think that was really awesome.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to introduce Casey and we'll see what Casey wants to talk about today.
Speaker 2:Hi Rob, hello Hi Rob, hello Hi everyone so what do you got?
Speaker 1:What do you what, what? Why do you think physical fitness is so important to you?
Speaker 2:Because I know it is, you live it. I don't know how that got ingrained in me for this long in my life, but I do know about how it started and it was very innocently a part of my family and my growing up. My mom's from the south in Georgia and typically southern food, a of fried food, a lot of.
Speaker 2:Uh, you know, my grandma had a can of bacon grease on the stove. That's how everything got cooked with either bacon grease or everything was fried. And nobody in my family had weight problems, health problems in my immediate family, my mom or my dad. In my immediate family, my mom or my dad. But for some reason my mom was just really in tune to that generational correlation between habits physical habits and food habits that she innately felt led to a lot of my grandparents' health problems diabetes, heart problems and that's ultimately what my grandparents ended up passing away from.
Speaker 1:So your mom was more aware of it because of that. So my mom was very aware of it.
Speaker 2:She had a healthy skepticism of pharmaceuticals. And you know, just go and take this pill and it'll cure everything Right, and always resorting back to what you put in. You know, just go and take this pill and it'll cure everything Right. And always resorting back to what you put in, you get out and um, making meals at home. And that was right around the time I'm 40, I'm 42. So you know, back then that was the boom of the processed foods. It could have been very easy for her to just stock the fridge full.
Speaker 1:Would you say that was like seventies?
Speaker 2:No, I mean not, I wasn't even born.
Speaker 1:No, no no, I mean like would you say she was cause, you're right, the processing boom was, you know, sort of hammering home and around the seventies, so would you say that like that's when she got really aware of it.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure if that's when she got aware of it. I think it was when we were little like early 80s, mid 90s, when it was just really, really it would have been really easy to stock.
Speaker 1:It became so cheap.
Speaker 2:Right, we were latchkey kids so we went home, but she always had it a point to have fresh fruit already prepared in the fridge. If we wanted a dessert, we could have a couple of grapes or sliced apples, or you know. Like we just never had any of that stuff growing up, so I didn't you know that you didn't grow up with a lot of junk.
Speaker 2:I didn't grow up with a lot of junk food and I got into jogging and running in middle school. Not I don't really remember where that came from, but I did have the discipline.
Speaker 2:I remember waking up every morning through middle school into high school jogging. It was I think it was about a mile down this road that I grew up on and it actually motivated my dad. A couple of times he would get up and say, hey, munch, you mind if I come run with you, and you know like that made me happy because what do you? Call it Munch, munchkin, munchkin. Okay, good, that was my daddy, so there you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, munch, and it didn't last very long, I don't think, but I do remember that feeling of, like you know, motivating my own dad, who I look up to. He was looking up to me in my motivation to make this a part of my life, motivation to make this a part of my, my life. And so I wanted to be a personal trainer. At some point that came to be you know it was 18, 19, didn't really know what I wanted to do, but you worked for a mutual friend of ours.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, yeah, good guy.
Speaker 2:I just showed up at his gym Um 19, had no idea what I, what I was, you know know, just said I wanted to be a personal trainer, like it was just sure, come on in, let's get started. You know, I had no idea of really the, the science behind it and, like you say, the method to the madness like it really is. And you know tasso, he really follows that old school philosophy he's got a good scientific background.
Speaker 2:Right. So he really did, thankfully, you know, when I really was pursuing strength training, he really did set the um proper foundation, um no quick fixes. Form is everything breathing, stretching muscles right Mind to muscle, kind of thing.
Speaker 1:Don't have to overdo.
Speaker 2:Right, yep, yep. And I really embraced it and moved right up the ranks in his gym and was hired on to do his private personal training clientele, which I felt really proud about that, being so young and you know. But then, you know, life came along and I decided to be an optician and apprentice under my dad and so my life kind of took a little bit of a detour, but good optical career Ended up having five kids getting married. After having my children I did not want to leave them in a daycare or any kind of situation at a gym.
Speaker 2:So I could go work out. I just really wanted somebody to come to me and uh, so I've got a couple of trainers that would come to me, and one of them was kind of a mutual friend of my husband's, but we really kicked it off and she kind of had an idea of a home wellness, home fitness, kind of like all in one any kind of fitness wellness professional. Come to your house and make it a woman's based business.
Speaker 2:Come to your house and make it a woman's based business. So that's where I kind of stalked you and sought you out, because at the time you were a professor at. Kaiser for the exercise, the personal training.
Speaker 1:Yep Sports medicine yes so.
Speaker 2:I needed personal trainers for my website, so I gave you my elevator spiel.
Speaker 1:Seemed like it was a pretty good spiel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I think I was hugely five, six, seven months pregnant at the time coming to talk to potential personal trainers to hop on my site after they graduated.
Speaker 1:You did a nice little speech. I remember it was good.
Speaker 2:It was a great thing, and that's still back there on my shelf in the back of my mind. I still believe in that situation that there is a need for that.
Speaker 1:There still is for sure.
Speaker 2:And so I'm not saying that's off the table in the future.
Speaker 1:But you're pretty darn busy now, Right yeah it's definitely not going to work out now.
Speaker 2:I've got four boys at home, ages 12 to 5. I am thankfully lucky enough to be able to stay home with them and I coach Little League. My husband coaches. They're all in tribal baseball. Black football is going on right now. So now is not the time to pursue that, but I do have a passion for fitness and wellness and it just has affected every aspect of my life More positive ways than negative ways. You know suffering the tragedy of one of my sons passing away at three months old back in 2015. Passing away at three months old back in 2015,. Um, that really could have it does.
Speaker 2:You know, you can kind of go one or two ways with that. It can get you really, really down and not be able to pull yourself back up. But, um, you know there is there. I, you know, believe there is a place for medicine and antidepressants and these kind of things are very helpful tools. But you really need to look a little more deeper inside and do the hard work, no matter if it's working on your mental wellness or your physical wellness. There's not a pill that's going to fix that, no matter whether it's, you know, struggling with mental issues.
Speaker 1:Depression.
Speaker 2:Anxiety, depression. There is a place for pharmaceuticals in all aspects of health, but I guarantee it won't hurt anything to go for a walk.
Speaker 1:That's true, very true.
Speaker 2:It's just start slow with that, you know, and see how much it makes your mind stronger, your body stronger, and you know I was able to get off of all of that stuff, which I believe helped me be able to perform more clear-eyed.
Speaker 1:Just get through.
Speaker 2:Just to get through right, yeah, you know, but it's still the hard work. Just to get through right, but it's still the hard work, no matter what it is, no matter if you want to lose weight or if you want to get better.
Speaker 1:There's just no shortcut, there's no easy way to do it. Well, I mean, I so admire you for knowing that about you, knowing what you went through and you know still soldiering through and, uh, you know, being such a great role model, you know, not only for your kids but for other people that have gone through anything similar. I know that you stay involved and active in that. You know and um, so I mean that's just such admiration and um, I mean that's just such admiration. And you know, I want to fast forward a little bit, like so we knew each other and we kept kind of going back and forth on you starting to train with me, because then you wanted to do your own personal training with me, you know, become a client. We kind of went back and forth because I think, oh, I don't know, you're spitting out one or two or three kids.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was always the kids. You were always pregnant. I mean, it was like every time I met you, you were very good at trying to get me back in here, yeah.
Speaker 1:So what precipitated that, like you know. So, when you came in this time, you know to really work on it Three years this month. Three years I mean you needed some work right, I mean you're a different person.
Speaker 1:I mean I look at these pictures now like I'm you on the stage and then, of that which I don't even you know, I remember, don't remember. I mean I remember realizing we needed some work to do, but I didn't remember how much. And then you sent me a picture just before your show. You were in jeans or something. I was like holy cow, yeah, you were a lot heavier. So what happened there, like what precipitated that.
Speaker 2:Well, I just I know myself even though you, you know, you know it's like, do as I say, not as I do, kind of thing, and I obviously come from a fitness background. I know what to do, I know what I should be eating, what I shouldn't be eating, but I also know that I just like being told what to do and, being responsible of a household of six people, I just didn't have room in my brain to sit down and figure out my workouts or motivate myself to go to the gym and go in there and do it.
Speaker 2:I just knew that you know I tried it probably, for you know I had a membership at LA Fitness and I would go and fiddle around with this and that and it's just too easy just to leave and you know I'm tired. So I know that I needed the accountability and the motivation and I know that you take your time and write out very thoughtful workouts and get the most bang for my buck per se. Yeah, for what you need For 30 minutes.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:And you know my initial goal was just to get stronger and obviously lose some body weight. You did and I knew my body. I knew that could happen very quickly.
Speaker 1:You're very athletic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be a problem. That could happen very quickly. I knew You're very athletic. Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be a problem. And then you kind of knowing that I needed a little bit more of that just to be my goal, we started talking and throwing the idea. I think I even said it jokingly of like oh, I'll do a bodybuilding bikini competition or something. Like totally off the cuff, but you latched on to that. And you know, got to be careful what you say.
Speaker 2:did not let it go no so two years later I'm up on the stage in my underwear, basically like you say and um, I didn't.
Speaker 2:It was a bucket list thing for me. I tried not to let the competition of it get to me too much. You know, I knew I wasn like. I didn't compare myself to those people because my journey wasn't their journey, right? My goal for that day wasn't the same as theirs, right? And I just wanted to do it. And I had my family there, my kids you were there, a couple employees from the gym, people that I see three days a week.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's family here and so that really meant a lot to me to be able to be up there, and my kids have seen me work hard at it, really concentrate, be disciplined with my diet and my walking.
Speaker 1:And you placed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I placed in every category that I went out for.
Speaker 1:I think you're in three categories, right yeah, placed in each one.
Speaker 2:So that was just icing on the cake, you know, just doing it was the goal and I had fun with it. And I did have fun with it and my kids were proud. They all had their muscle mommy shirts on. My mommy can lift more than your mommy and it was just it was. It was fun. You know, they were proud of me and I was proud of myself and, um yeah, I'm definitely going to do another one.
Speaker 1:It was just fun, so you know, when you were saying how um you knew your body. You knew yourself and you know all that. It's so true. I heard this saying that said you know, asking for help isn't a weakness, it's a strength. Not asking for help is a weakness, because I need help in things.
Speaker 1:I've said before that for me, I'm not a great swimmer, but if I want to do a triathlon, I'm going to get a lot more coaching. If I go to master swim class, even though I know how to swim, even though I know all the technique, it's going to help me to go ask for help. So people that don't ask for help because they get their ego involved, oh, I should be able to do this. It's like. Well, it's not about that, it's about having a tool. Like you said, I like how and it's funny, joanne last week said the exact same thing.
Speaker 2:She said I want to go someplace where.
Speaker 1:I don't have to think because I'm tired of thinking about it. You know, you both are very busy in your days. You know her with work and you with your kids, and you're both busy. I mean, your schedules are filled to the max and you don't want to have to sit down and go. Oh, should I do legs tomorrow? Should I do? I don't know, maybe I don't know if I should do that exercise. You don't have to think about it.
Speaker 2:I mean that's a gift. I mean it adds up if you're sitting there at the gym and just you know, and then it just becomes where it's just like overwhelming, and then you just leave and you know, even though you had full intention of you know, even to this day I don't know if I would, because I'm just so spoiled here with just not having to think about it. And you know, that's your wheelhouse, that's what you do, even though you probably could write me and I'm sure you have before homework things or stuff to do, and it just you know, when it starts to burn, it's you know, the suck kicks in and it's just like all right, well, I'm just gonna do one instead of those instead of three?
Speaker 2:he won't know, you know but then it's like it's human nature then you have to have that accountability for yourself right you know, like okay, and my thing is is the food? It's like, um, you know I have no problem with the workouts, but even prepping for my show that's what I tell everybody like that, that discipline of that's the hardest part. It's hard, especially having young kids at home. You know, one little bite of a chicken nugget here, or an extra thing of macaroni and cheese here.
Speaker 1:It adds up.
Speaker 2:It definitely adds up. So people that do that for you know career and professionally, it's dedication. You might think it's up there just flaunting their self around, but they are athletes and it's hard work and it's… it's a lot of work, Like I would say, the discipline that goes into bodybuilding is one of the hardest disciplines because you can't take a day off, you can't take an hour off Like.
Speaker 1:you can't just be like oh, my friends are having some pizza. You know I'm going to grab a piece of pizza, and not during prep time. That's going to throw. I mean, I know going to grab a piece of pizza and not during prep time. No, that's going to throw. I mean, I know people listening may not understand and go.
Speaker 2:That sounds like it's a little obsessive, but maybe it is, but it's for a short period of time. Short period of time it's not a healthy way that you live and it's not 20.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right.
Speaker 2:And you know the mind but for three months.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 2:And you see how much you, what you can do to your body and how your body's changing. And it's just so One piece of pizza, right? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:I've seen people like break that and the next day they wake up like when they're really in shape, and they look at themselves in the mirror and go holy cow, I'm holding a lot of water from that sodium.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like people don't realize, you can't mess up Science for sure, yeah, and you can't even mess up the morning of with too much sodium.
Speaker 1:I mean you put all that work in. So yeah, it takes a lot. I think it takes the most discipline to do it right, which you did, than any other sport. I'm not saying it's the hardest, I'm saying it takes the most discipline.
Speaker 2:It's discipline and the walk back from that after the show. You know, you see how this nice physique that you've built and cut down and you know the okay, I can go back. I have to go back to eating regular right now. You know, and you see the you're not looking the same, so like it, it could be a dangerous trap to get into that body image thing that goes along with absolutely there's a lot of body image issues.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm thankful I have you to kind of really in right, let's not, you know you're a little hard on yourself right after the shirt of course it's hard to like.
Speaker 1:You think, oh, I could have done this, I could have done that. I wanted to be first. I've been there, as you know. I've done those too and it's like, it's hard. But don't you think like when you come back down to earth, so to say, your now level of coming back down is higher, like you just don't go back to what. Maybe there were some foods that you're eating prior to contest prep, like you know, and before you even started thinking about the show that you just won't eat anymore. Right, so your reset is higher now. Yeah, even though you're not trying to be as and it'd be silly to be as disciplined as you were leading up to the show, you still almost like your new normal becomes better than your old normal Because you just don't want to do it.
Speaker 2:It could go the other way too. It's, like you know, a just a regular baked potato, right? You know there's so much stigma around the rice and the potatoes and you know so when I really started hearing from you the science behind food and micronutrients and all this stuff, you know it. I would. I would rather just eat a potato now instead of you know right, right Like, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2:So it's like kind of resetting your brain, what is drilled into us constantly of people telling us potatoes are bad because they're starch.
Speaker 1:It's like that's just silly.
Speaker 2:Right, Right. And if you really start working on it and doing it, knowing that you need to fuel your body for what you're trying to do and you know that you forgot to eat and you did a workout, like you're going to be struggling because you didn't eat carbs, or you know like you have to, and listening to your podcast is very it does get down to the science of it and, um, you know, I have my kids in the car when they're, when we're listening a lot of the times and, uh, I do appreciate the information, that and the way that you deliver it, because it does spark conversations with my kids in the car.
Speaker 2:Just something simple about nutrition. You know, my old man, who's a 13-year-old, has asked questions. Can't think specifically, but I know your podcast has triggered conversations with him and he's I think it was like how that how with him, I think it was uh, how to eat to gain a little bit more muscle and get stronger without gaining. You know cause he's at that age where it's like he might be coming to a growth spurt, he's playing competition baseball and he he works out three days a week the same time.
Speaker 2:I'm here. He's at his gym with his baseball coach and sometimes you brought them here and they've all been here, yeah, and you'll give them a couple one-pound weights and they'll do curls right along with me and they muster through it and they are gonna have that foundation right my mom instilled in me, like your mom, still the new.
Speaker 1:Like you know, they do listen the kids listen they listen, they everything we say and do, even if we think they're not listening?
Speaker 2:Yes, they absorb it.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So I do appreciate that he's learned a lot from it, listening to certain things that you did a special podcast to pertaining to weightlifting at certain stages of maturity, and kind of just put him at ease, knowing that he's not there yet. He will get there and he will be able to do what the high school boys are doing and he's getting there. He's 13 and not yet he's 12, but, um, you know, he knows form. He's like mom. If I can't do it without my knees going over my toes, then I'm not right.
Speaker 2:So he, and so that makes me smile. And then my seven year old brought home a picture the other day of the hundredth day of school and he wrote one thing he can do a hundred of was lifting weights. And he drew a picture of a barbell.
Speaker 1:Which one was that Red?
Speaker 2:So you know, and I posted it on my social media and I was like you know, see these kids pay attention.
Speaker 1:They do.
Speaker 2:You know they so.
Speaker 1:And doesn't that make you feel good to know that you're like such a good role model. Yes For them.
Speaker 2:Yes, because that's our job as parents. You know you can only control what you can control, and I feel like you have to start with yourself before you tell other people what to do. Other people what to do and if I'm not, if I'm smoking cigarettes or overly indulging in alcohol every day and taking them to eat Wendy's and fast food, and then I turn around and tell them that this is bad, you know?
Speaker 1:yeah, we know where that will end up, right. Well, yeah they're going to be like yeah, no.
Speaker 2:So we just don't do it at our house and it's not. You know, kids are not saying I don't have bags of Cheetos and Fritos and Doritos and you know all the things that kids eat, you know, but they're very active. Kids need to eat that stuff. They're very active. Well, they don't need to, but it's fine that they do.
Speaker 1:It's fine that they do I mean, I grew up having it in my house, right?
Speaker 1:like when parents are overly strict with that, I kind of shake Well, I do more than shake my head. I get nervous because I'm like I don't think you're setting them up very well. You know, I'll have parents tell me oh, I won't buy this or buy that. I'm like they're kids, you know. Or I'm never going to go through a McDonald's. I'm like they're kids. I ate McDonald's my entire childhood, right, it's like it's not that it's teaching the other things too, and they're at baseball practice for two hours a day three days a week.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So you know they're on the trampoline, they're not. But then they sit and you know, some days they're on the Xbox for six hours straight. You know it's everything in moderation, no matter whether it's raising your kids or in your everyday life. You know there are some days where you just need to stay in bed, if you can, and just scroll mine doom scroll on social media and get your dopamine and serotonin and but then yeah, there's too many absolutes nowadays aren't there.
Speaker 1:There's too many get off social media.
Speaker 2:It's like come on, you just have to be mindful of what you're doing and have and explain it right and no like even talk to yourself, like, okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sit here and not do anything all day, but tomorrow we're gonna do laundry, we're gonna organize the pantry, we're gonna absolute rules don't work.
Speaker 1:No, no, there can't be anything.
Speaker 2:I know people that like are that way with their phone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and probably a reverse action, right, because I know people will say you know, I'm going to get completely off my phone. Yeah, ok, good luck. And then, like they, get so obsessed with their phone all day.
Speaker 1:You know, it's like absolute rules don't work and you know, just picking up on something you said with the eating with the kids, you know, there there's a reverse situation I saw years ago probably over 20 years ago where the, the mom, was like one of those moms that like struggled with her food and eating, so she created an environment where there was no junk food in the house, there was no anything, and the kids would go over to other people's house and eat all the crap food and then talk about that. But the sad part of the story is because I know this family pretty well and obviously, uh, you know, for anybody trying to figure out who it is, you never will so quit trying um.
Speaker 1:The kids ended up with eating disorders.
Speaker 2:And I know that as a fact.
Speaker 1:And I'm like I knew it was going to happen. We were all like they're creating an environment where they're so strict on these kids that you're teaching the wrong lesson, and I know for sure the kids ended up. Girls ended up with different forms of eating disorders. Hopefully they're out of it now. I think they are ended up with different forms of eating disorders. Hopefully they're out of it now. I think they are.
Speaker 1:But they went through a period of their early teens late teens maybe where they really struggled. So it doesn't work. People, if you're that way, get counseling. Don't try to put these strict rules on your kids, because it's going to backfire on you.
Speaker 2:I know you have good intentions but don't do it.
Speaker 1:All right, Casey, we're getting near the end, as I've, you know, say to you in person often I'll say to everybody else you know, it's like you make training people really easy because you have a great attitude. You know, joke around a little bit, you know, but like a great attitude towards working out, your O is up for trying different things. That, no, does not come off instagram. We make a little joke.
Speaker 2:Did you see that on instagram this morning? He loves my hacks I find on instagram.
Speaker 1:I love them and I love when she makes little comments on social media. It's funny. It actually is funny, so like you just like everybody here like enjoys working with you because you just have such a great attitude towards fitness, life and health. So, um, what do you want to say to wrap up to our listeners? Like, either about yourself or you know a little piece of advice you'd leave them with um, well, just thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2:I think what you're doing here is great locally and I'm proud of you that you've gotten some worldwide and expanding the world of fitness and knowledge of just little things people might not understand, just to get going. It's all about you just got to start somewhere, and that was you know that first day replying back to your email. It's just you got to start somewhere, you know, and there are. You know we joke around about the internet, but you know there are good resources out there. Even if you don't want to come to a personal trainer or come somewhere, reach out to rob and he will give you a resource on the internet or something just to jumpstart you.
Speaker 1:And or follow along on Facebook or something along.
Speaker 2:You know reputable, definitely he'll point you in the direction of somebody reputable to follow or somewhere. You know something, to just get going. Just get started, and you don't have any idea where that, what that path is going to open up for you personally and that's going to trickle down to your family and that'll trickle down to your job and your friends and, um, it's just, it's a good thing, like Mr Rogers says it can be a good thing.
Speaker 1:He was a good man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So just just do it, just get out and do it, just start.
Speaker 1:It seems daunting and overwhelming, but but you know you're right about the internet too. Is that? You know, our internet is like similar to, at least when I was young. I'm older than you but my parents would say, oh, you know all this crap on tv. It's like, well, there's good and bad. I mean you're exactly right. I mean there's so many great things on the internet and you know what? There's so many great things on social media. Yeah, it's like learn who you should follow, like everybody has to do their own work on that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know. Yeah, I'm not going to take fitness tips or diet tips from a 20-year-old.
Speaker 1:But if somebody does, that's their fault, right, right, it's not the influencer's fault. Influencers fault no right, you better stay in your lane and do what you can do. And it's no different than like on the tv years ago. You turn on an infomercial. Well, if you fall for that, that's on you, it's not the infomercials fault. So, yeah, I think that's a really good point. It's like there are so many good things you can look up that I didn't have the luxury to in my 20s like we had to literally go to the library at uF or, you know, dsc, wherever I was at the time and like look for stuff. Now you can go google search for GPT or that.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's even better, and go.
Speaker 1:Okay, give me tips from Mayo Clinic, or give me tips from the American College of Sportsman.
Speaker 2:It'll give you, step by step, exactly how to do this exercise properly. I, even we did an experiment and sent it to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was pretty cool, it was dead on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just talk to chat GPT.
Speaker 1:But you know, that's really a great tip to leave off on is that you really can get that information on how to do exercises. Yeah, there's really no excuse nowadays yeah it's out there.
Speaker 2:To just do it no-transcript. No, and I mean, I knew that I needed to, but I also knew that by doing it that would be a side effect of what I was doing. Feeling better and being stronger should be a motivation. And the show wasn't all vanity. No, by no means so anybody listening?
Speaker 1:I know, casey, it's not all vanity. It's about reaching benchmarks and being fit and athletic and she did. I mean, it was a very athletic look that she had. So I'm very proud of Casey. I want to have her back on and, uh, if you have any questions for her or me with the show? Just reach out and I will get you that information.
