WEBVTT - Social Distancing 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:22.200 Oh boy, I'm Peter McNerney, like exciting a beat intro. Yes, 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.520 I'm Beth Newell. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.960 feel good. I took a nap today. You slept all day. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.479 No I didn't. I was hyperbolic, But you took a 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.360 took a major nap. It was like an hour or two. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.960 It's it was a major in the sense that I 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.360 don't usually take naps. I think it was more than 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.239 two hours. I'm not complaining. I was just worried that 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.239 you were something was wrong. You woke up and you 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.080 were all well rested. Well, I well, okay. So the 0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:00.920 elephant in the room, around the whole globe, fin in 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:06.120 the on the planet is coronavirus, and so I, as 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.200 usual as a virgo, I like to plan. So we're 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.399 trying to start strong with the positivity where our kids 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.440 are off school for two weeks um and so I'm 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.720 I'm just trying. I'm trying. This is not normal, this 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.200 is not this seems so normal for where we are 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.880 right now. I know it's not necessarily true for I 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.760 don't know. I have country. I have friends around the country, 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.400 like I have friends in l A and Richmond and Pittsburgh, 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:36.360 and like they are, they're feeling the panics like more. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.479 I feel like it's hitting the the pressure to lockdown. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.000 I feel like it's hitting other parts of the country 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.720 more quickly than here in terms of how how fast 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:52.720 the disease got here, because we knew that coronavirus was 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.800 hitting a town over for us for days and they 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.840 were kind of like barely putting together a response. And 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.800 now I think people are starting around the country. You're 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.320 starting to realize this is an issue, and they're locking down, 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.280 maybe even before they kind of need to. I don't 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.679 like this is so unprecedented. I don't know what the 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:14.000 right answer is in terms of our response. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.079 we're not everyone's everyone's pretending to be an expert. Everyone 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.840 and an expert. I'm guilty of this. I'm sure if 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.880 you listen to the podcast, I probably spoke last week 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.320 with some authority about something I had no authority. There's 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.640 so many like self ordained experts on the internet, and 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:35.000 also so little like accurate information going out in terms 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:40.680 of what's happening, like especially from our federal government. Um, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:46.800 but I I you know, I got to dry cough. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:54.280 Are you Okay, too soon. Not funny, not funny. So 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.880 let me just drink some more whiskey as we're doing 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.840 many coping mechanisms. Um. So I'm trying to enter this 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.120 two weeks of no school strong and just like try 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.560 to have some healthy coping mechanisms, which was I went 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.560 for a jog today. We took the kids on a 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.280 nature walk, social distancing, and then my body was like 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:23.120 that's enough. I need a long nap. Um this three 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.040 hour nap and these dry coughs. Did you have coronavirus? 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.760 Oh okay, let's not pretend that what just happened didn't 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.880 just happen, which is Beth had me stop. I just 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.320 had a little cop I had like a throat tickle 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.600 thing going on. Oh that good thing. That's a symptom 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.440 of the pandemic that's hitting our symptom. I don't I 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.360 don't feel sick. But I'll tell you one thing that 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:54.360 is happening that I I don't think. Um. I so 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.400 last week I was carrying I had like a really 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.200 bad day with the kids. I can't remember which day, 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.960 just getting them home from school and may even that, 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.080 you know, sometimes they get tired and hungry and they 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.000 melt down on the way home, so I had to 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.280 carry Mayven inside. So she's on my hip and her 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.120 head is next to my head and she's screaming, tantruming, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.919 trying to get me to stop, and she's screaming in 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.000 my ear. And when I woke up the next morning, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.080 I had a little bit of blood, like dried blood 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.359 in my ear, and I think she might have slightly 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:34.200 like ruptured my ear drum. No big deal, um, but 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.600 I looked like I looked this up online and looked 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.479 at for reasons why her ear is bleeding, and that 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.920 seemed like the most plausible one. And it's also one 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.280 that doesn't really require any treatment. So it seems like 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.440 a really dumb time to go to urgent care when 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.440 there's like infectious disease spreading around us. So I'm trying 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.760 to ignore it. But I do like my ear does 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.440 I feel just like a tiny bit pressured, if that 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:04.360 makes sense. Yeah? Um, and so yeah, so kids are 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:10.080 a nightmare and that's the lesson. Um, well, I hope 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.120 it's to pop deer drum and uh not not this disease. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.360 It's definitely not this disease, isn't I trust me? That 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.880 I googled coronavirus ear bleeding and that it's not a thing. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:32.480 Um um. So yes, we are very close to New Rochelle, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.360 which is locked down. Was the first town is totally 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.320 locked down, and now our schools are locked down. Is 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.680 it totally locked They just did like a one mile radio. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.080 It's not totally locked down, but all the schools and 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:49.360 all now all their their public spaces. And I think 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.320 the response around here has been okay so far. I mean, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:54.840 we don't know how bad it's going to get in 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.320 New York City, and that's concerning. But like the fact 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.719 that they canceled school for two weeks I think is good. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.920 The fact that they waited until after Friday to give 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.960 us time to finish up the week. I think given 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.240 the situation, what my concern is like, we don't know 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.400 how long this lockdown is going to last and what 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.560 is going to be necessary and this I feel like 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.320 this coronavirus situation might go on from Hanson months, so like, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.920 I don't I don't think you want to pull the 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.479 trigger too soon on this, but it's like it's so 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.480 hard to tell with all the weird information. Well, I mean, 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.640 what's clear at this point, you know, it's the great 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.400 danger is that everyone too many people get sick too 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.520 quickly in it overwhelms the health care system. I know. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.240 And then I saw something online today that was like 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.880 trying to debunk that theory and say that that's not good. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.719 I don't I didn't have time to read it, and 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.000 then I lost it. And well, this is every conversation 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.800 is somebody sees something like that and then they're like, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.120 I saw a thing that but I don't know, and 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:57.560 so we're all well. And then sometimes I understand like 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.159 people who are like, it's just a flu, it's nothing, like, 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.920 that's wrong. You should we should be taking this seriously 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.479 and we should be social distancing. But then sometimes I 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.799 think people put stuff out to try to calm people down, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.600 and then other people are like, no, you can't be calm. Yeah, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.960 everyone has to be panicked. It's like there's a there's 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.720 just like a lot of stuff flying around out there 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.040 where I think you should stand for him, go to 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.880 the CDC website, stuff like that, but you should try 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.440 to stay offline right now because I think it's just 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.040 like a there's a lot of fearmongering. You should be 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:32.160 prepared and vigilant and on top of that positive. Yeah 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.720 it is. That's take care of your mental health right 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:39.440 now while we're in this very uncertain be smart, but yes, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:46.080 don't don't kill yourself. Don't go don't kill yourself. Okay, uh, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.880 rate up, follow the rules, be safe, stay away from 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.520 each other, and lock it down and then enjoy it. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:58.160 I am taking our children um away from here to 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.520 a to a family member's house that's totally empty right now, 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.960 away from everybody, because a few hours away. Just for 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.400 anyone's who's concerned that we are spreading disease from our 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:17.560 the center of disease, we are. We have socially isolated 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.200 now for a day or two. I think we're okay, 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.119 you're going to try not to you're taking the kids, 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.440 Oh yes, for the record, I'm taking them directly to 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.040 a house and literally not stopping until we get there 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:33.320 and ordering groceries. So we're not spreading If we're going 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:38.640 to try it, yeah, I don't. Personally, I don't think 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.439 we have it right now. I know it could be incubating, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.120 and that's been my fear all along, because our children 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.120 are disgusting and lick everything, and we're in a huge 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:53.160 freaking hotspot right now. But I don't think so far. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.640 Knock on what I don't think we have it? Um, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.840 but my parents were supposed to come this past weekend, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.120 the story part it's benefit. It was postponed to name 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.520 my parents were to come, and uh, actually it was 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.400 my little brother. It was like, you, guys, you can't come. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.680 You shouldn't, you know, and they're they're older, they're anymore. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.320 Your little brother has a baby too. Well, I guess 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.800 he's worried about your parents. No, no, yeah, we're all 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.320 of my brothers and I are all reading statistics. We 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.640 know that we are low risk, but our parents are 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.959 older and they're higher risks. We said, they put they 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.360 put your parents are healthy. I did read today that 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.240 people there's like a list of things that put you 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.199 at risk, and it said people with endocrine issues are 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.720 more at risk, which is like not great news for 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.400 me because of my thyroid issues. What. Um, but I 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.800 don't like, I don't really know what that means. You know, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:54.240 I didn't get more information on that little little Uh yeah, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.440 I don't know. Ill. I've probably said this before, but 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.640 I don't fear death. Um, I thing, I don't think 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:05.640 you've ever said that. Well, I personally, I believe there's 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.559 an afterlife, and I believe in reincarnation, and I think 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.720 that the world that we currently live in is much 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.719 more of a pressure cooker painful situation than we will 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.080 ever experience on the other side. And if I'm taken 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.440 from here, my concern is for you guys, but not 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.960 for me. Boy. You know what, It is so funny 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.600 because I don't believe any of that. But I have 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.800 a similar attitude where I mean, it's easy to say 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.000 when you're healthy and relatively young to say, like, I 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:44.640 don't fear death, but I don't bother worrying about it. Um, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.520 I'm a very like you know, you die and there's 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.880 nothing type of attitude. So the conclusion is there's nothing 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760 I can do about it. Let me enjoy being here 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.559 and and part of that is loving the people I'm 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.440 around and making them happy. I also, like, because I'm, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:07.600 you know, a crazy person and I'm into manifesting type stuff, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.320 I don't I just don't think it's a good idea 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.880 to like feed the fear in these situations. And I 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.160 think we should be realistic and like, I don't not 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.480 believe in science. I know this is disease is real 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.040 and people will die from it, so we should try 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.760 to be careful about spreading it. But prepared and positive. Yeah, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.760 prepared and positive, guys, Be prepared and be positive and 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.920 take care of yourselves. I really do think like, especially 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:39.800 as a parent, we've kind of, um unwillingly been subjected 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.559 to a lot of social isolation in the last two years, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.360 and I do think we're like more prepared for this 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.080 than other people, Like because we're lonely, is that what 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.360 you're saying. No, just because we've had to develop a 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.040 lot of coping mechanisms for the fact that, like we 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.600 we can't commute into the city to hang out all 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.680 the time and like do whatever we want, and sometimes 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.440 we don't get to leave the house for days, and 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.559 we you know, like I like I in a way, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.960 I sort of feel like we've been preparing for this. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:15.800 We're we're you are an introvert and I'm a secret introvert, 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.240 and that we we get sick of people quickly and 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.360 want to be by ourselves. So yeah, I also like, 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.960 prior to this, I was already feeling pretty overloaded with 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.280 the world and my workload and all this stuff, and 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.120 that stuff is kind of still there, but it's kind 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:34.240 of nice to be in a place where everyone is 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.520 like overloaded and like confused about what's happening. And I'm like, 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.880 this is our careers as entertainers. This is this question 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.280 mark of what's next has been there all along, and 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.360 it's like sort of refreshing that like, now we're all 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.160 in this place of like what's going to happen? Not 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:55.040 to I totally relate to what you're saying, not to 0:12:55.200 --> 0:13:00.000 downplay the people that are now suddenly in a very 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.880 are your real tricky financial situation. Like we have a 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.319 lot of friends who have a gig based work that 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:12.120 suddenly he's just super dried up. Um, you know I 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.679 work where the Magnet Theater where I work, Yeah, it 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.199 shuts out for two weeks, no ticket sales, no classes, 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.400 and that's a huge challenge. It's a good time to 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.360 check in on people, like your elderly neighbors and see 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.600 if you can go like pick up their prescriptions for them, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.480 or if you have like friends who our stay at 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.560 home parents or whatever they need groceres. Like it's just 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.400 a good time to check in with people if they're 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.240 if they're gig economy, revenue has dried up. If you 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.840 can send them some groceries, if you have the ability 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.720 to do that kind of thing, it's a good idea. Yeah. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.240 And if you have people that you pay for for 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.520 things that you're canceling, maybe pay them anyway. Yeah, we're 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.240 talking about canceling our cleaning lady for this week and 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.959 just paying her. Um, we have I have to figure 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.920 how to do that. I like, our cleaning lady showed 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.240 up this week on a day that was not her 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.559 day of the week to clean and not her week 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.840 that she usually comes because she comes every other week. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.839 And I like, in the midst of all this Corona stuff, 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.640 I was like, is she okay? Like, is everyone okay? 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.520 What is happening? Um, it's been just very surreal around here. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:28.440 Oh boy, oh boy. Yeah, and we've been oh boy, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:34.560 it is It's crazy. You know what? Despite all that, Like, yeah, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.760 you know what, stay positive, Let's just take a second ago. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.040 This is one of the this is uh one of 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.960 the craziest things I have, um in my life. I 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.520 have a yoga teacher that I don't actually see her 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.240 very much in person, but she was a prenatal yoga teacher. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.320 I had and then we've like I just I stay 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.520 in touch with her on Facebook um because she's also 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.080 like a small business owner. She now has her own 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.840 yoga studio and teaches meditation and and like she she 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.640 was one of the people in our community that was 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.600 like the quickest to like sort of sound the alarm 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.520 bells and be like this is bad, Like we should 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.240 we need to start doing stuff about this. And she 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.560 was like first she was like disinfecting her business like crazy. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:17.960 And then a couple of days and she was like, 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.960 you know what, we just need to shut this down 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 into remote classes because we don't know what's happening. This 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.440 disease is very close. Her son goes to school in 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.640 New Rochelle where the virus is sitting, and like and 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.040 every like she would post on Facebook a lot, and 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.760 so many people were treating her like a crazy person 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.120 and like she you know, like like one of her 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:42.320 meditation students threatened to sue her for not hosting the 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.040 meditation class in person. It's like, I think right now, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.000 what I've seen, especially even before this with the election, 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.960 there's a lot of people arguing for things that I 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.600 do think they need, like things like healthcare. I understand 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.240 people are very in need right now. But I think 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.160 what you have to understand about people right now is 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.240 that are the state of our country has made them 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:11.040 so traumatized that they're not always in the right mind 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.680 in their reactions two things, you know what I mean, 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.080 Like people are just like people are losing it and 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.400 it's but it's not their fault. It's not their fault 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.640 that like, there's so many pressures on them with the 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.880 gig economy and the lack of health insurance and a 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.360 lack of mental health care and like a lack of 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.640 ability to pay their bills. I just blame everything on 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.920 social media for making and taking taking all of the 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.160 not not to undercut what you're saying, but in the 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.320 midst of all of that, then giving you, on top 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.880 of all of that perfectly legitimate stuff you just said, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:52.440 fourteen unnecessary, vague things to worry about. I don't think 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.480 social media is always great, but I don't necessarily think 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.320 that's like the root of the problem, just exacerbates all everything. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.480 Before we have social media, people were suffering. Sure, sure, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.400 you just didn't have to see it, you know, yeah, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:13.119 well yeah, oh boy. Anyway, what was good did happened 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.800 this week. Good that happened this way. We got into 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.760 our new house. We did. We were able to go 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:23.080 in and start planning some renovations, which is great. Measurements taken. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.679 Things are moving along. I think it's actually going to happen. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.320 Do you know what's crazy? I didn't tell you this. 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.480 So I shot a commercial this week and when I 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.640 was on set, I met this older woman. I told 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.959 her where I was moving. Uh, and she and she's like, oh, 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.359 I grew up like three blocks from there, like my 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.160 family's house was there. I lived there forever and then 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.920 she just sold it like a year ago, and then 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.800 moved to an artist loft a block from the Magnet 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.680 Theater where I work. Wow, and we really connected. That's great. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.000 What does that mean? It's a sign? I know, But 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.879 of what that this woman and I are pet ships 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:18.920 in the night. There's just I don't know. I think 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.160 there's a lot of signs happening for me personally lately. 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:32.040 Was the dumbest one the dumbest sign mm hm, oh 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.200 well this is okay, this is actually really funny. So 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.439 I had a doctor's appointment and I came out and 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.840 we were kind of like me and the doctor. We're 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.480 talking about like kind of how much better I'm doing 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.840 since I started seeing this doctor, and I was feeling 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.000 good about the steps I'd taken for my health. And 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.760 then I got in the car and I turned on 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.680 the car and the radio started literally playing the song 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.639 I saw the Sign by Ace of Bass, which was 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:06.160 a very beloved song of my deceased brother growing up, 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.480 and we would have like dance competitions and we would 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.320 dance too. I saw the sign by Asa Base a lot, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:17.760 and it just kind of felt like like I, especially 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.560 in light of what's happening now in the world, and 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.239 like all this like it feels like to me, it 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.520 feels like really more important than ever that people are 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.080 taking care of themselves so that they are the best 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.639 equipped to deal with what's happening. And I it felt 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.520 like the steps that I have been taken to try 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.560 to take care of myself were like validated in that 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.199 moment that it was like it literally felt like it 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:45.040 was like I saw the sign. It's the most literal sign. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:49.000 It was so funny. But I also like, on the 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.639 on the drive to that same doctor's office recently, like 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.480 I saw a bus stop ad that said I'm proud 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:56.840 of you. And I was like, yeah, that's for me, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.879 Like that's like all these things. I'm just like, yeah, 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:05.920 that's that's a sign. You know what. Today, I when 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.280 I was napping and during my nap, you know, I'm like, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:11.200 I don't know if I talked about this on the 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.600 show much, but like I'm pretty into this very dumb 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.760 thing called angel numbers. And so it's like if you 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:23.120 see a repeating seven seven seven, whatever, that's like supposed 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.920 to have a meaning. So during my nap, I literally 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.800 saw seven seven seven, like in my in my mind's 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.440 eye while I was laying in bed, and then I 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.240 got it from my nap and picked up my phone 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:41.280 and it was five on my phone. Good God. And 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:47.200 I was like, yeah, see, it's all proof of something. 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.119 You don't have to believe it. It just makes me 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.400 happy and that's all that matters, you know what. That's 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.560 where I can get on board, where I'm just just 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:59.360 like I love patterns, I love connecting things, and that's 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.800 how I I've grown to appreciate your love of it 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.000 is to let go of my need to, you know, 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.600 try to debunk it for no good reason and then 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.360 just go like yeah, that's a that's fun. I like it. 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:19.800 I'm behind seven seven seven five five five is your cough? Okay? Yeah, 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:35.159 I just just I swallowed some coronavirus. Coronavirus, and now 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.320 it's time for did you knows? This is where we 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:44.480 learned something and share it with you, Beth. So, I 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.640 thought that was kind of interesting topic for discussion right now. 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.600 This is an article from huff Post called how to 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.280 work from home without losing it with your partner or 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.960 your kids. That's not applicable at all. Who can imagine 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.119 what that would be like? It's by Katherine Pearson. I'm 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:04.040 just gonna sort of go through her bullet points, um. 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:08.600 She says plan in twenty four hour chunks, um, and 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.760 just sort of like the what she's acknowledging is like, 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:13.919 we don't really know what's happening. I think a lot 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:15.640 of us, and that you kind of have to take 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:17.359 it day by day and just be like, what's the 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:27.639 plan for dearload? Three things? I pray. This woman in 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.800 my mom group who is also a Broadway actress, Laura Bananty, 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.640 she posted a Twitter thread this week. Um, she was like, 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.320 if your high school musical got canceled because of coronavirus. 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:43.520 Please share videos of you and your uh like classmates 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:48.080 performing and the videos are so good. It's just like, 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.600 oh my god, that's great. It's such a good thread. 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.160 I'll to send it to you later, but it's just 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:58.280 like really quick sidebar. I played Jesus and God's Bill 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:02.040 in high school and it wasn't until halfway through the 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.159 performances that I realized that the entire text of the 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.760 play was from the Book of Matthew, one of the 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:13.480 the Bible, from the Gospel. You were like, hey, wait, 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.639 is this religious? I was like, I was like, this 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:20.880 is one of the Gospel, the Gospel's Gospel god Spell. Oh, 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:24.600 and I realized that I had memorized most of the 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:28.720 Book of Matthew, and I was like, I really missed. Boy, 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.600 I'm seventeen or night. Okay. So she also talked in 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:37.440 this article about establishing blue zones, which is carving out 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.080 areas in your home that are strictly yours, which they 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.520 acknowledge is very hard if you live in a tiny apartment, 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:46.480 and it's sometimes like it sometimes means that you have 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.520 to take a conference call in the car, which is 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:54.040 something we're very familiar with. UM, but It's just like 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.359 I do think it's good to sort of be like, Okay, 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.680 how are we going to map this out? What's the plan? 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.680 And yes, the plan will go out the window when 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.760 your kids come in and pull on you. But um, 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.199 things to know. It says work in shifts, which a 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.240 lot of these things are we're we are already familiar 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.680 with because we already try to work on the weekends 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:16.119 all the time. Um, And it says focus on the upsides. 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.160 This is where I'm really trying to like lean into 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:24.200
