00:00 He never struck me as the kind of guy who'd go get small.
00:02 Wow.
00:04 Hey, everybody.
00:20 Hi.
00:21 Hey, Dave.
00:22 Remember not intruding.
00:24 No.
00:25 Hello, Dave.
00:26 Hey, Andy.
00:27 Could you get Carol A up?
00:30 Yes.
00:31 Gin and tonic.
00:32 Gin and tonic.
00:33 With lime.
00:34 With lime.
00:35 Well, actually, we weren't planning on coming at all at first,
00:40 but then, you know, we started getting all the emails.
00:42 Plus, my sister was having a lump removed.
00:45 I mean, she's fine, thank God, but I still needed to see her.
00:49 So what's traveling like?
00:50 How'd you guys get up here from New Mexico?
00:52 Oh, gosh, it's great.
00:54 Yeah, the airlines are getting more and more small-friendly.
00:57 All the seats are first-class.
00:59 So, after a couple years in Florida, we moved out to Vegas, and that's...
01:02 Yeah, I think that's the last time we talked.
01:04 Yeah.
01:05 Well, Vegas wasn't such a good choice for me, as it turns out.
01:08 Got into some real bad habits.
01:10 Pretty much hit rock bottom.
01:11 I'll tell you, any other woman would have run for the hills.
01:14 Carol, man, she's a saint.
01:16 She stuck with me.
01:17 But I really had to come clean about everything.
01:20 I mean everything.
01:21 You know, almost.
01:23 So, the decision to...
01:25 Well, that's the thing.
01:26 We both needed to change.
01:28 Hit the reset button.
01:29 Start all over.
01:30 Well, and plus, it must feel good to know you're really making a difference.
01:33 You mean all that crap about saving the planet?
01:35 Yeah.
01:36 Downsizing is about saving yourself.
01:39 It takes the pressure right off.
01:41 Especially money pressure.
01:42 I'm just not driven and ambitious like the rest of my family.
01:46 But now, Carol and I, we're like kings.
01:48 I'm still living in the same house I grew up in.
01:51 I mean, Audrey's dying for us to move, but we're really strapped.
01:55 I mean, shit, I just finished paying off my student loans.
01:58 Yeah, well...
02:01 Listen, if you ever start thinking about it seriously,
02:04 here's my two cents.
02:06 There's a lot of small communities cropping up out there, but don't mess around.
02:10 Leisure land's where you want to be.
