Hello, socialites, and welcome back to the social studies podcast, the podcast where I study being social by being social.

It's been a week. Let me tell you what made the bad call, thought that teaching online was going to be easy. Hell no.

Oh my God, there were some perks though. Never in my life did I ever think I was going to be able to fit in a workout in the middle of the day.

But I did why because I didn't I wasn't at work. I took the kids to art and then I'm like, well, I'm going to do the art of fitness, baby.

And I did. Why am I working out? Do you ask? Oh, um, it's because Go Noodle has made me realize that I've done nothing but sit on my ass all quarantined.

Oh my God, please tell me I'm not the only one. Okay, for those of you who don't know what Go Noodle is, Go Noodle is basically little exercise routines that you can use in the classroom as brain breaks, except their exercise routines that looks like they were created by two college frat guys who were tripping on acid and then thought to make some of these videos.

I feel like if you were doing acid, you could smell and feel the colors that happen during Go Noodle. Anyway, just, you know, like a couple minutes of energy for the kids to get up and move around so they can get focused and go back to it.

But when the kids do it, sometimes they're a little bit shy. So I'm like, oh, hell yeah, I'm going to get up. I'm going to do them too. Bad call. I'm up there like, oh, can we just do geriatric aerobics in our seat instead because you boys die in up.

Here, all of a sudden the guy and Go Noodle is like, hi knees, do high knees, high knees, I'm doing high knees. I'm like, y'all keep going.

Grip a D's out of breath.

Someone am in my inhaler in an oxygen tank.

Jesus.

So, you know, a little too much of that. And then I realized, okay, it's time to get back in shape because your lungs are about to collapse.

Based off of these brain breaks that you're doing with the kids, one of the kids had the audacity.

This is when I was still teaching in person. One of the kids had the audacies to say to me, wow, you're shiny after Go Noodle.

I'm like, yeah, shut the hell up. You sit down. Okay. What you worry about you? I'm going to worry about me just kidding.
