00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.160
Have you ever seen the meme?
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:07.839
Maybe on your Instagram, on your TikTok, whatever you're into in terms of social media, maybe it's Facebook.
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:09.199
We are in midlife, right?
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:27.920
But have you ever seen the meme that says something about either you being the friend that your other friends can't be with in a serious situation because you're gonna make them laugh, or how great it is to be friends that make each other laugh no matter the situation.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.120
I know you've seen it.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:39.039
And every time it pops up, I'm messaging some of my friends from all the way back to high school, college, since then, and saying, whoops, that's me.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.359
Yep, I know, I'm the laugher.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:46.399
And my sister and I, good heavens, I mean, watch out, world, when we're together.
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:47.359
And you know what?
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.479
That's a good thing.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:01:01.520
There was a time when I was trying to be a sophisticated grown-up adult when I was in my, I don't know, late 20s, early 30s, when I was trying to squash this love I have of laughing.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.840
And I was trying to be sophisticated and more serious and not giggling all the time.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:13.680
But the fact is, my very favorite thing to do is to laugh like a crazy person till tears are coming out of my eyes.
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.359
That's why I love comedy, that's why I love books that make me laugh, and that's why I have friends who also love to laugh.
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:30.319
Now, if this is you, you are gonna love this episode because we're gonna find out how amazingly healthy this is for us.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.519
You know laughter is the best medicine, right?
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.840
But do you know what laughter yoga is?
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.239
Did you know it can give you good abs?
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.319
And did you know how healthy this is for your body?
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.680
Stay tuned.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:51.519

00:01:51.519 --> 00:02:04.400
Unlike most advice out there, we believe that simply telling you to believe in yourself or change your habits isn't enough to wake up excited about life or feel truly confident in your body.
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:13.759
Each week, you'll gain actionable strategies and, oh my goodness, powerful insights to stop feeling stuck and start loving your midlife.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.039
This is the Mind Your Midlife podcast.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:24.400
Kathy Nesbitt, a health and wellness advocate, is joining me today.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.120
She leads Kathy's Laughter Club as a certified laughter yoga teacher.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.080
And I am fascinated.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.520
So listen in.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.439
So laughter yoga is is just that.
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.039
It's not jokes or comedy.
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.080
It's laughing as a cardiovascular workout.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.039
I I'm so I can't I can't wait to talk about it.
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.960
Let's start, though, with why laughter?
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.240
What's what's so powerful and so important and healthy about laughter?
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.560
Laughter changes everything.
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.080
It changes our state.
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.439
I know you've heard the expression laughter is the best medicine.
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.319
Absolutely.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.360
It is.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.439
And my next question is: have you had your daily dose?
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.759
Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:21.680
When we're laughing, we're secreting the love drugs versus cortisol, adrenaline, epinephrine, the stress chemicals.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.319
We have two nervous systems in our body where one is only one is operating at a time.
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.439
So we're either in their stress mode or we're in rest and digest mode.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.319
Laughter gets us into rest and digest.
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.840
Okay, I like that.
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.439
That's a very simple way to say it and yet powerful because I think we all, we've we've said it already.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.599
You said it, laughter's the best medicine.
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.960
We've all heard that.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.840
And at the same time, maybe we didn't know why.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.199
Right, exactly.
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.400
There are so many health benefits for laughing.
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:01.360
Talk therapy, I'm sure, is a fine thing, but we need to revisit the trauma, whatever it was that caused the stress.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:12.400
With laughter, it's it's uh it's like our body's mechanism to shift us from again, stress to rest and digest.
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:21.680
And it and it happens by laughter, it is just a chemical biological process, chemic, chemical, electrical process.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.120
It's simply a vibration.
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.000
So when we're laughing, we're high vibration.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:36.560
When we're when we're depressed and anxious, we're we're not taking up much space, we're breathing shallow, and again, secreting the stress chemicals.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.480
Yeah, it's all wrapped up together.
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:48.160
And I like how you call our our kind of calm state rest and digest, because on various episodes, we've talked about gut health on the podcast as well.
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.560
And so, I mean, gut health is almost like the secret to everything health-wise.
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.959
And so we want to be in that state.
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.160
And so if this gets us there, then fantastic.
00:04:59.199 --> 00:04:59.600
Right.
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:08.959
Uh uh, some people eat when they're under stress, and I would suggest not to eat during stressful times because what happens is we're in that stress mode.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:16.079
Our body is not digesting all of the, not all, but blood, lymph, oxygen leaves our frontal lobe.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:25.439
That fluid, those things go into our muscles so we can escape the situation, even if it's just we've lost our keys and we're looking for our keys.
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:35.199
Our body doesn't know the difference between if we're in, you know, danger or we're just like annoyed at something, like we've lost our keys or missed the bus.
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.079
Our body acts exactly the same.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.600
And it takes hours for our body to recover from that.
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.079
So when so when we stress eat, the food is going in, but it's coming out, and we're our body's not using the nutrients.
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.639
Oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that in that way.
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.560
That's really, really helpful.
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.120
Thank you.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.879
I'm glad we got on to that.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.120
So that leads us then to laughter yoga.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.800
So I've heard of it.
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.759
I thought, am I doing yoga poses while laughing?
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.720
What does this even mean?
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.959
So tell us what is laughter yoga.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:09.839
Wonderful.
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.720
Started in 1995 by a medical doctor, Dr.
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.600
Madan Kataria, he's in India, and his goal is world peace.
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.240
So it's not doing yoga and laughing, it's laughing as a cardiovascular exercise.
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.839
So the yoga part is the practice of the laughter and the deep diaphragmatic breathing.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.519
Because we're shallow breathers, especially we're living in a perpetual state of stress.
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.160
Laughter is the opposite of stress.
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480
So this really does help us.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.839
When we're in stress, it's just damaging.
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.839
We've heard that stress is a killer.
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.680
It's the truth because all of these things get compounded.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:07:03.519
We hear a bad news and we go into stress, and then we hear, you know, groceries are going up, that there's no jobs, that there's a housing shortage, that all of these things, you know, war and famine and just all the things.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.759
It's amazing we're still standing.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:15.040
There's a there's a English is a beautiful language, and there's an expression, and I'll I'll say this expression and then I'll break it down.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.519
So it's no laughter, no problem.
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.439
No laughter, no problem.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.720
Okay, so N-O laughter, K N O W problem.
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.279
So if we're not laughing, then we need to talk about our problem.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:40.000
Kn O W laughter, N-O problem, and not no problem, but we can handle it better because our beautiful brain is fully oxygenated now.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.480
Solution can pour into our brains.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:47.439
Unlike when we're stressed, we're not breathing properly, our body's not getting what it means.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.360
For sure, our brain isn't.
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:49.839
Wow.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.240
So it's it's a beautiful, oh, it's just, and I think again, back to talk therapy.
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.600
I'm sure it's a fine thing.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.079
It's it can be a year years and years that people go to therapy.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.639
And we do need to visit our trauma again.
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:10.560
What laughter does, it allows us permission almost to talk about it because it frees us.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:19.680
Sometimes people will come to a laughter club, and in the last little while, it's happened a couple of times where people come and they feel sad after the laughter.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:29.360
So, what happens there is when we have an episode that causes trauma, and it can be a small thing or a big thing, we can't we can't compare our traumas.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.000
It everyone deals differently.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.279
If when something happens to us, we take a deep inhale.
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:51.679
And if we don't do anything with that, it gets into our body, it gets into our cells, and then the next trauma and it goes on top, and they they and then it's kind of a layer of trauma that's in our belly that we carry around with us, and we think we're okay.
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:57.440
I mean, it can be a something, something as simple as tripping in public, and then we jump up like we're so embarrassed.
00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.279
Oh my gosh, someone will say, Are you okay?
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:00.559
And we're like, Oh, I'm okay.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.120
I mean, my your head's gushing because you you're bleeding, but you know, we're so embarrassed.
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.600
I don't know what how this all came about.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:14.399
Um, so that so the laughter sometimes can stir up because our diaphragm is attached to all of our organs.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:20.240
So when we're laughing, it's like internal jogging, and memories can get released.
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:32.879
And I think what happens is now we're it's later, it's maybe years or decades later, and we might be more mature, we're able to look at that thing that caused us trauma before.
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.399
And that's all it is.
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.519
This this emotion coming up, we need to kind of look at it.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:42.639
Oh, hello, there you are again, and then we can release it and let it go.
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.559
I think that's what happens.
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:50.879
So when when when people come to laughter and they will report after, man, I was feeling sad after, what was that about?
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.159
Why did that come about?
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.759
Then we can talk about it.
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.039
Interesting.
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:55.919
Yeah.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:01.279
I do some tapping with my coaching clients sometimes.
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:15.679
And it's it's a similar principle that if we're tapping on these meridian points and talking through things that are bothering us is kind of allowing us to let that emotion out and kind of unblock the energy.
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.120
And it's kind of what you're saying.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.399
Some of these things may come out, but we can let them out then, right?
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:23.440
That's it.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.519
Yes, I love that you say tapping.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.559
There's so many modalities, Cheryl, that we can use for our own self-care.
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:36.559
And I do incorporate tapping, not the whole mantra of saying things, but tapping on stomach.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:41.279
I do four spots: stomach, kidney, thymus, spleen every day.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.840
And in my Laughter Club, I'll also tap on those to remind people.
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:52.879
If you tap on these four spots every day, you're it just helps your body get into a nice rhythm.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.159
Okay, that's great.
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.960
And those are different spots than what I use.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.519
So I'm glad we I'm glad we brought that up.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.399
Excellent.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:06.559
Yeah, and it it seems like such a small thing, but it really does make a difference for sure.
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.480
It's so powerful.
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.639
It's it changes everything.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.120
Laughter has changed my life.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.679
I was happy go lucky before.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.360
Now that so I've been laughing since 2012 when I was introduced.
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:33.440
In 2020, when the world shut down, before 2020, I was doing between 100 and 200 events a year, school workshops, speaking gigs, um vendor events where I'm displaying things.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.399
Ah, I was a hamster and I thought I needed to be everywhere, and I was everywhere.
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.600
And then the world shut down.
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.120
I was like, oh, now what do I do?
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.960
Like, what do now what?
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:43.600
Yeah.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.360
So much thinking time.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.679
And I realized, oh my gosh.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.720
Oh well, I actually took a deep dive into why the expression laughter is the best medicine.
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.600
Why is that?
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.480
And if that's the case, why aren't we just laughing?
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.240
And I realized there's science behind it.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:07.279
There's about 50 years of research proving that laughter it has so many health benefits.
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:21.600
So the question, Cheryl, is if laughter is so beneficial for our body, why is it so challenging for us to receive abundant, reliable, sustainable laughter for our health?
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.720
The answer?
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.320
Our critical mind.
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:29.840
As we age, as we grow up, you know, you see kids, they're just laughing.
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:30.480
What are they doing?
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.279
They're just laughing.
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:31.679
Nothing.
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.159
They're not doing anything, they're just playing.
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:38.799
We need to adopt more of that because our critical mind gets in the way.
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.879
We hear a joke and we go, it goes through all these filters.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.600
I heard that joke before, I'm not laughing again.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.679
That joke wasn't funny the first time.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.279
Why would I laugh now?
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.879
That's a dirty joke.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.519
Maybe I'm I don't like that kind of humor.
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.320
Is it safe to laugh with the people that I'm with?
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.320
What will they think if I'm laughing?
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.799
So all of these things, and then they're super fast.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.799
Like it's not like it's it's conscious, it's just very fast.
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.039
But it goes through all those filters.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.559
The answer to to this is laughter yoga.
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:15.039
It's not about jokes or comedy, it's intentional laughing.
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.960
And people will often say, I laugh all the time.
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:25.039
Do you do you laugh like for 10 or 15 minutes, full on, belly laughing every day?
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.519
Right?
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.759
Do you have rock hard abs from laughing?
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.559
I do.
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:29.840
Wow.
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.240
Oh my goodness, everyone listening.
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.879
There's a reason to do it right there.
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.600
It's free, Cheryl.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.159
It's free.
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.159
It's in us, waiting to burst out.
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.200
Why do we laugh at inappropriate times?
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:55.600
Like at a funeral, or when somebody's, you know, um somebody has fallen, and then we we laugh like it's it's not funny, but we we might laugh as a response.
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:02.240
That's our body saying you're too tight, you're too stressed, you need a release, and that's all it is.
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:03.600
It's like the pressure cooker.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:08.240
So the laughter is is this wonderful mechanism in us.
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.840
But what happened?
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.200
Why is it again?
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.480
Why is it so challenging?
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:25.679
Our critical mind, and it was the Greeks like Aristotle and Plato felt that laughter was frivolous, it was it was silly.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:32.639
If you were laughing, so the more educated you were, the less you laughed because it was frowned upon.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:33.679
Wow.
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:42.000
And and I think that is a sort of a core belief that in society we kind of still have as you're saying that.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:49.759
When I do presentations and training and teaching, I do try to make sure I'm a bit more informal.
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:59.840
And I don't want people to to you know be so stiff and bored, but I get criticized for that occasionally because we need to be more formal.
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.759
I mean, not not frivolous, you know, and more serious.
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.480
So yeah, it's kind of part of society that we assume that, isn't it?
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.720
It's this ingrained piece because it's like, where did that come from?
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:18.480
And if people have heard, I've been traveling around the world by podcast, over 300 episodes.
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.559
I don't know how many countries I've been to.
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:25.440
I ask every host if they've heard the expression, laughter's the best medicine.
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.840
Everybody, I haven't met one person around the world that hasn't heard that.
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.360
And that's the reason that Dr.
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.600
Kataria started Laughter Yoga.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.200
He was dispensing, you know, antidepressants, maybe taking a few.
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:38.480
No, I don't know.
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:43.440
Just the samples.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:50.320
Um, and he was writing an article for a magazine on laughter, and he read all this research.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.240
So he said, Wow, if laughter is the best medicine, why don't we just laugh?
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.919
And he started a club.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.039
The first club had five people, and I think that's funny.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.360
He could only find five people in India.
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:09.279
So they would meet in a park every morning, they would tell funny stories, they would tell jokes.
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:15.360
After two weeks, they grew to 50 people, and then the jokes started to become off-color.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.440
Two people going somewhere, not funny for those two people, not cool.
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.919
And the people were like, Oh, we don't like this anymore.
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.720
It was fun, but yeah, no, I don't like those stories.
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.919
So he said, Come back tomorrow, I'm gonna have a solution.
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:35.759
He didn't know what it was gonna be, but I guess he thought about it, and he got an inspiration, like, oh, kids are always laughing.
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.360
Why don't we be childlike?
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:43.759
Not childish, childlike, and so created little games, and that's how the first club came about.
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.919
So there's clapping and chanting, and the clapping is palm-to-pom.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.160
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:07.839
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:09.199
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:27.920
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.120
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:39.039
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.359
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:46.399
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:47.359
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.479
00:00:48.479 --> 00:01:01.520
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.840
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:13.680
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.359
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:30.319
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.519
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.840
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.239
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.319
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.680
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:51.519
00:01:51.519 --> 00:02:04.400
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:13.759
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.039
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:24.400
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.120
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.080
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.520
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.439
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.039
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.080
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.039
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.960
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.240
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.560
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.080
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.439
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.319
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.360
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.439
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.759
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:21.680
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.319
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.439
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.319
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.840
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.439
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.599
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.960
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.840
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.199
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.400
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:01.360
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:12.400
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:21.680
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.120
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.000
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:36.560
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.480
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:48.160
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.560
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.959
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.160
00:04:59.199 --> 00:04:59.600
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:08.959
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:16.079
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:25.439
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:35.199
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.079
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.600
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.079
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.639
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.560
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.120
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.879
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.120
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.800
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.759
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.720
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.959
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:09.839
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.720
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.600
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.240
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.839
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.519
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.160
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.839
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.839
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.680
00:06:49.680 --> 00:07:03.519
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.759
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:15.040
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.519
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.439
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.720
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.279
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:40.000
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.480
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:47.439
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.360
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:49.839
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.240
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.600
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.079
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.639
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:10.560
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:19.680

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:20.240
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:32.879
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.399
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.519
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:42.639
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.559
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:50.879
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.159
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.759
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.039

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:15.679
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.120
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.399
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:23.440
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.519
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.559
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:36.559
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:41.279
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.840
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:52.879
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.159
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.960
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.519
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.399
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:06.559
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.480
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.639
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.120
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.679
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.360
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:33.440
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.399
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.600
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.120
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.960
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:43.600
