1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: There ship. Wow, I'm so happy this to your face

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: even though we're on zoom again. I know, I know,

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Well it's for good reason. Why don't you tell the people? Well,

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: um plot twist so um. Well, right after we recorded

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: last week's episode, literally yeah, I mean did we recorded

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: on Tuesday or Wednesday? I can't remember. I actually can't

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: remember either. Um, it was either the day of or

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: the day after. Um. You know, I had been exposed,

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: which we talked about, and a lot of my friends

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: had gotten COVID and I kept testing negative. But I

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: was like, I did have a sore throat, but I

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: just kind of had chalked it out to um allergies

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: because I do have really terrible seasonal allergies, and it

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: was I didn't have a fever, I wasn't joining any symptoms. Well,

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: that Wednesday, I had a dinner with my client and

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: some other people at six thirty, and at six before

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to leave, I was like, you

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna do a home test and just

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: in case, and that ship came. Because these home tests

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: say that you have to wait fifteen minutes, it was

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: positive in thirteen seconds. I was like, oh my fucking God,

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: I have COVID, and you know obviously those things can

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: give false negatives and false positives. But so I called

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: Lindsay and I was like, hey, heads up, i just

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: tested positive on one of these home tests. I'm gonna

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: sit this dinner out. Your tour starts next week with

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: like Shelton, and I am not going to be responsible

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: for giving you COVID. So um. I sat it out.

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: And then the next morning I got up and I'd

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: lost my taste into my smell and I was like, well,

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: that's a shirt el sign um and which if anyone

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: has experienced it, they can um, you know, they can attest.

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: It is a very weird fucking sensation to put food

34
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: in your mouth and have no idea what it is,

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: like you can like I tested a bunch of things,

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Like I had a pickle, and like, all I could

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: tell that was that it was salty. I tried peanut butter,

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and I could tell it was peanut butter because of

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: the creaminess, but no fucking taste. It was so weird.

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: My my cologne smelled like it was like I could

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: tell it was alcohol, but that was it because the

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: burn that alcohol does when you need to smell it,

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: but that was it. Um, So I was like, well, ship,

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I guess this is a shirt tail signed. But I

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: went and got a PCR test that morning and it

46
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: came back positive that day. So I went into isolation,

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: and UM, thank god. You know, I'm telling people this

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: because because there's still such a debate on the vaccine.

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm vaccinated. My symptoms, I've had worse cold like aside

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: from losing taste and smell. I I never got shivers,

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I never got body aches, I never got I never

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: had a fever. Um. I literally just had some congestion

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: and some nasal postnasal drip in the back of my

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: throat that made my throats are. I am out past

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: isolation and I have tested negative, so I'm good to go.

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: But I just like, um, I can now say firsthand

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that this vaccine works, and for anyone who wants to

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: like come at me and say, well, you still got it, Like,

59
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: there is not a vaccine on earth that is has

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: effectiveness right, Like it is not a cure. It is

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: a vaccine. Of vaccines are designed to keep you from

62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: dying and to minimize symptoms because it teaches your body

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: how to award things off, there are women who get

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: pregnant when they're on birth control, you know, like there

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: are there is nothing that is perfect. So this to me.

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Oh and I was with my family, you know, so

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was really worried about my seventy five

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: year old parents, and they didn't get it, Like they

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: didn't get any symptoms. So I think that was also

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: just proof that like it does make it much harder

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: for someone who is unvaccinated to give it to people

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: who are also unvaccinated. So um, I you know, I

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: firmly stand behind this vaccine and I will happily get

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: a boster shot whenever I'm eligible to get it, because

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I just I think it works well. I think the

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: thing that we talked about last week, because the last

77
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: two weeks we've talked about the vaccine, and you and

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: I have been like, oh my god, it's keeping us

79
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: safe and everyone go get it and blah blah blah,

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and then of course we're hearing. What really rocks me

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: was our our friends going down before we knew you

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: had it, who were also vaccinated. And what it turned

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: out to be was the two of us who didn't

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: get it had had it, and we were vaccinated, so

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: that has to be like some I don't know if

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: it was a fluke or if that was some sort

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: of like extra protection that we had. UM, but I've

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: now tested eight hundred million times and I'm negative all

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, so I don't know. UM, But

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: with you, it was so interesting because you got it

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: and like we said, those at home tests do not

92
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: stay positive until it's fully active in your body, which

93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: what we do know about COVID is it doesn't it

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: so like you like get exposed and then the next

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: day shows up in you. It takes a little bit

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: to like kind of process. But in comparison to our

97
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: friends who were not vaccinated, uh, in your case, you

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: have gotten over it so much faster. You never actually

99
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: seemed like you felt anywhere near as bad as they did.

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: And I think it's a little bit like you said,

101
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: as far as the like transfer rate is, what they're

102
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: saying is it is a much harder for a vaccinated

103
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: person to pass it onto then another vaccinated person because

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: we do have some sort of immune building things happening

105
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: or like block a little bit of a barrier that

106
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: is actually help. Yeah, And look, I'm no scientists or

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: or medical expert. But I also think there's probably something

108
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: to do with like your viral load that you're carrying,

109
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Like if you're unvaccinated, your viral load of COVID is

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: going to be much higher, which is what causes it

111
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: to be so contagious. Yeah, the viral love for me

112
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: must have been minimized because my body recognized what it

113
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: was and fought it off before it could spread, um

114
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, severely through my body. Um So, then it

115
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: makes it a lot harder for me to pass it on.

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an impossibility. Absolutely, Thankfully in my case,

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: I did not pass along to anybody. Um so, and

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: you're feeling better and you've already said it negative, excuse me.

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: I probably have COVID. I just gave it to you through.

120
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: It's like it's like not even a funny joke anymore.

121
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like it is flying around. And I think

122
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: the debate continues because now there's people with the vacts

123
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: getting it, and so people without the vacs are like

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: with him, why would I get the vacts? And it's

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: like our argument has never been that you cannot get

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: it if you're vaccinated, it's that we can't keep this

127
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: spreading so fucking quickly and so much and keep the

128
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: world open like it's going to be one or the other.

129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: So like, and I had a conversation yesterday where I

130
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: think I told you this. I went to work and um,

131
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the people that I was working for don't believe really

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: in COVID. They think it's stupid. You know, they don't

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: wear a mask, they're not vaccinated. They're entitled to their opinion.

134
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I completely disagree. But um, he walked in and he

135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: was like, he was like, yeah, because I was wearing

136
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: my in ninety five. Because now I'm like really fucking

137
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: paranoid because I have to go to work, Like I

138
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: cannot not go to work anymore, and so I don't.

139
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: I really want to be as safe as I possibly can,

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: and I'm up in people's faces and so it's like

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: I need to be safe, and so I did it

142
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: with the mask on. He walked and he was like,

143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to wear that thing, You're fine, and

144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm choosing to. And he was

145
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: like he was like, oh, well, you know I'm gonna

146
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: die young anyway, So what is it if I get

147
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: He had already had COVID He's like, what is it

148
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: if I get it again? You know, I'm not whatever,

149
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die. And I'm like that's kind of not

150
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the point though, Like that's cool if that's what you

151
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: want to do with your life and you want to

152
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: die young or you like, I don't really care if

153
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: you do. Fine, But when you get COVID, how many

154
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: people have you seen that week that you're exposing and um,

155
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: what if they're high risk? What if they do die

156
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: and they're not ready to die young or what? You

157
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: know something like that, And to me, it's just like

158
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: this is still the case of we can't only think

159
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: about ourselves. It's more about like thinking of the greater

160
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: good and the the population as a whole and how

161
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: we want to be able to live our lives. Like

162
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: do you want to be able to live your life

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: and go to places and go to restaurants and go

164
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to bars and go to concerts. You've got to be

165
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: safe right now and you've got to help other people

166
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: and not just yourself. Well, I mean, it's it's so

167
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: funny because it's like in some ways we're arguing the

168
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: same point just from very different angles. Like people like, yeah,

169
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: I want my freedom, and it's like, well, freedom is

170
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: not a singular thing. Freedom is a group thing. Like

171
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: you can't if you are oppressing other people, that's not freedom.

172
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Well they would say that. Their argument would be, well,

173
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to put this in my body, so

174
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: that's pressing me, right, yeah, which I mean, look, I

175
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: can understand that. But you know, as a nation, we

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: have to think about we and not me, you know,

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: and I think that like there is there is no

178
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: way that we are going to move forward until the

179
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: vaccination rates increase, like and you know, look there we

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: have to do a lot of things in life that

181
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to do for the greater good, you know,

182
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: like a drunk driving is obviously like a prime example.

183
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Like would it be a whole lot easier just to

184
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: be able to like not pay for a cab or

185
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: uber and just drive yourself everywhere? Yeah, but if you're

186
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: fucking wasted, chances are you're gonna hurt somebody else. And

187
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: so that's the right thing to do, is to inconvenience

188
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit, spend money so that you can

189
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: go make the choices that you want to make without

190
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: affecting anybody else. Yeah, I gause You're right, it is

191
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: like we want the same outcome, but we're going about

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: it in different ways. A little bit. Yeah, I just

193
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm struggling with that because the conversation seems

194
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: just so difficult right now. And it's honestly, I mean,

195
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: this was my sort of update I was telling you earlier,

196
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Like this week in in and of itself has just

197
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: been so heavy for me, really heavy. It's really it

198
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: feels like just unnecessary fighting, and this is just one

199
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: of the heavy topics. It's like, I don't think anybody

200
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: wants their child you have to go to school and

201
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: wear a mask, Like absolutely, it's not fucking ideal, But

202
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: we have to get past this, and there's there are

203
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: real ways to get past it. And you know, it's like,

204
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: let's stop fucking fighting over ship so the kids can

205
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: move on and get back to school and not have

206
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. Like Yeah, the mass debate at schools,

207
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's obviously flared up a lot this week,

208
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: especially at Nashville school started, and so there's these huge arguments,

209
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: there's big names speaking out against it, and I'm really

210
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: frustrated by that, in particular because the rate of COVID

211
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: going up and kids is really really growing and also

212
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: kids getting very sick with it, And I'm like, what

213
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: is it gonna take for us to realize that this

214
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: is a huge transition transmission place for COVID, Like schools

215
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: in general always like kids are like carrying so many

216
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: fucking terms all of the time. Yeah, it's like if

217
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: we're having to close down a couple of years ago

218
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: because the flu had gotten so bad, Like I remember

219
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: school shutting down for a couple of weeks here in

220
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: Nashville because they had to slow down the transmission of

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: the flu. And it's like, okay, right now you look

222
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: at numbers, COVID is spreading like wildfire. So with schools

223
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: opening at the same time, don't we want to do

224
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: everything we possibly can to keep our kids safe a

225
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: but to keep them in fucking school. Like, I personally

226
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: do not think that parents can handle having to go

227
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: back to work full time, as like we all are

228
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: mostly at this point and managing maintaining their kids education

229
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: even like giving their kids the attention they need during

230
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the day, Like it is so stressful to try to

231
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: balance all that stuff and if you don't have the

232
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: means to get help, like a nanny or a tutor

233
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's the kids who actually are

234
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: going to be struggling or paying the price of that

235
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: not you know. I mean, most parents aren't good teachers.

236
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: It's just yea, being a good teacher is a gift,

237
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: and most I think people realize that teachers aren't good teachers, right,

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, being teacher. My mom, you know, as a

239
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: teacher growing up, and I literally always said to her,

240
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I have so much respect for you because that is

241
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: a job I know I could not do. I am

242
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: not patient enough. I don't have the like, the wherewithal

243
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: to teach even Like it's just such such an intricate

244
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: skill set that I think is such a gift and

245
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: I feel so grateful for teachers. I think most people

246
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: did after the pandemic the first time. But anyway, I

247
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: just I personally like, we have to keep the kids

248
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: in school. I know, my boyfriend and I are like,

249
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they have to go to school. Like

250
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: it's just you see it in the kids, how much

251
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: they need that structure and just be around their friends

252
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: even and like to learn and actually have a purpose

253
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: every day. You know, I think it's just so important.

254
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: So if they have to wear masks. I mean, kids

255
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: adapt seemingly pretty easily from my experience, and they're used

256
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: to it. They did it last year, so like get

257
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: them in school. That's how I feel. I agree. But

258
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: so on top of like all these COVID conversations and

259
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you, one of the biggest, like to me,

260
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the biggest weight that I felt this week, was like,

261
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: why do we have to just keep fighting? Like can't

262
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: we just isn't there some middle ground where we can say, hey,

263
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: like it's tough times right now, Like can we not

264
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: just find someplace to agree that this is the best

265
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: for everyone, you know, even if it's temporary or something,

266
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: but like, can we all not just wave a little

267
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: white flag and say, hey, like how do we work together?

268
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Because it's just so overwhelming to me to keep fighting,

269
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: and especially when you're having like celebrities who have millions

270
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: of dollars and all the means possible at their fingertips

271
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: speaking out about things that are getting people who aren't

272
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: in the same situations roued up to like fight the topics,

273
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, like literally, I feel like Ronnie King,

274
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, can we not just all get along? Like

275
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: it's too but it really is. It's like, I mean,

276
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: everything is ah, it's everything has been like pushed into

277
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: this like black and white. And I don't mean that

278
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: in a racial sense. It's just like it's an either

279
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: or and it's like that's not really the best way

280
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: forward for the world. It's like we have to choose

281
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: live in the gray a little bit, um because you know,

282
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things aren't easy to figure out, you know,

283
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: and it is impossible to please everybody, you know. I

284
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: think the obviously, the other really big story is what's

285
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: going on in Afghanistan. And you know, I'm I'm not

286
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: educated enough on it to really speak to it one

287
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: way or the other. I mean, I it is incredibly

288
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to see what is happening over there, um. And

289
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: I feel for the people and obviously love my neighbors

290
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and you know, foreign or domestic, and I don't want

291
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: to see people perish under the rule of some you know,

292
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: insane government. But I also don't understand, um, I don't

293
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: understand the intricacies of these decisions. And you know, the

294
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: truth is is like we we have been there for

295
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: nearly twenty years, and we've poured billions and billions and

296
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: billions of dollars into their government and into their armed

297
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: forces and their police forces, and at a certain point,

298
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: like it needs to be on them to sort of

299
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: keep those things running. Like we can't be everyone's government,

300
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: We can't be everyone's So you know, part of me

301
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: sort of understands like we needed to we needed to

302
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: exit that country. I don't I don't know what the

303
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: right way was, Like that's not for me to say,

304
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: but I do find it really hysterical. I mean, with

305
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: a big, huge eye roll. I saw a meme that

306
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: was like, let mean, I have to pull it up

307
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: so that I read it properly, but I saw a

308
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: meme that like put into words exactly what I was feeling.

309
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: And it says when people go from being COVID nineteen

310
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: infectious disease experts to Afghan geopolitical scholars, And it has

311
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Rain Wilson from the office like rolling his eyes, and

312
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's exactly what I thought, because like I'm neither.

313
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm not yelling about a lot of

314
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: this stuff online, like obviously we're talking about like our

315
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: personal experiences of COVID nineteen and like what we think,

316
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: but like, I don't fucking attest to be a doctor

317
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: or medical or scientific expert on any of this ship. Um,

318
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like my stance is always

319
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking about we all the time and not

320
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: just me. And I feel like these people that are

321
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: just yelling about this ship to like prove some stupid

322
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: political point is that's what makes it feel so heavy

323
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: to me, because it's it's not about politics, it's like

324
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: about humanity, and that's the way that we need to

325
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: be thinking about these I actually totally agree with you.

326
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: And when I say that the world has felt so

327
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: heavy to me, I'm like, are we seriously sitting here

328
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: fighting about mask when there's like literally I was watching

329
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: the news and you see that terrible video of people

330
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: flying off the airplane and being so desperate to get

331
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: out of that country that they are hanging on to

332
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: an airplane that is taking off and falling to their death.

333
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, that was major I read yesterday.

334
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: I I mean, it makes me I literally sobbed the

335
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: other day watching that. I had to turn the news off,

336
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: not because I don't want to be informed, but because

337
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: I get so heavy with emotions that I want me

338
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: able to function, but like I cannot process how we

339
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: I feel like right now what we're doing is creating

340
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: issues over topics that I'm like, yeah, we need to

341
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: get a real fucking problem if this is what we're

342
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: going to argue about. Like look at Haiti right now,

343
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: even that's terrible earthquake happened. It's like like, really, guys,

344
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: like let's try to get it together. And for me,

345
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: it's just really disheartening because I don't feel like we're

346
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: any closer to that than we were a year ago.

347
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: And that just makes me so sad um for our country,

348
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: for all of us, for what's happening in relationships because

349
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: of these topics, Like it's just sad to me, and

350
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm just feeling the weight of it and such an

351
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: immense capacity. Well, I think I think probably some of

352
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: that comes from like are you feeling like there's a helplessness.

353
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: It's really like what can what can we do? And

354
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: it's like we see all this like yelling online, it's

355
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: like it doesn't accomplish anything, you know, It's like, how

356
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: how can we actually help the people of Haiti? How

357
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: can we actually help the people in Afghanistan? Versus like

358
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: blaming people for what's going on. It's like, Okay, well

359
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: it's happening, so we need we need to do we

360
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: need to deal with this. Like here's something that I

361
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: didn't know about. Hey, I read an article yesterday about like, um,

362
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: the haities positioning on the globe is um like right

363
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: above these like massive fault lines, and it's something that

364
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: you know they're going to do, like it's forever, forever,

365
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Like this is not the first time, but it's it's

366
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: so unfortunate because it's also one of the poorest countries

367
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: around and like you know, I have my good friend

368
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: Amy from the Bobby Bones Show. She adopted to children

369
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: from there. So I've heard a lot about what happens

370
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: in Haiti. I've actually gone on a trip to Haiti

371
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: to do some service work, built some houses. That was

372
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: one of the most um fulfilling and also sad experiences

373
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: in my life because to see the way that people live.

374
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I was building a house for people out

375
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: of cinder blocks with so that they could get out

376
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: of a tent, Like, I mean, what what is that world?

377
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: Like we have no concept of that. And then those

378
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: little things that they do have that they can hold

379
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: onto like a cinder block house, which feels like, you know,

380
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: a luxury to them, gets destroyed in these earthquakes over

381
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: and over. So to have to rebuild that when you

382
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: have absolutely no money is just so overwhelming, and you're like,

383
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: what you said, how do we help these people who

384
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: are going through these kind of things? How do we

385
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: help the people in Afghanistan? I don't necessarily know. I

386
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: know there's some organization she's doing some work. I actually

387
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: want to post an instant story with some of the

388
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: ones I've been hearing about lately, So you guys keep

389
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: your eyes posting on that. But there's a lot going

390
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: on in the world all at the same time, So

391
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: what can we do to get out of our own way?

392
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: And like maybe ask ourselves the question, like is this

393
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: worth it to fight over this topic? Can we find

394
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: a middle ground that you know, everybody's doing the best

395
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: they can, Like the scientist even doing the work on

396
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: COVID and in the mass situation the vaccine, they're literally doing,

397
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: I believe, the best that they can to try to

398
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: get this out of our country and out of the

399
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: world and to keep people healthy and safe. So all

400
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: of these like conspiracy theories or let's go attack Fouci

401
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: because he said this, then he said this, and then

402
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: he said this, and then he said this. It's like

403
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: we're learning as we go, just like we said a

404
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, where can we give grace? And

405
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: where can we you know, really like ask ourselves how

406
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: important is it? Yeah? And just lead with love. It's like,

407
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, these these problems are how do we mitigate

408
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: rather than fucking stir the pot? Um? I don't know

409
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: the answer. I mean, I I for me, my personal

410
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: approach is to just try to lead with love, you know, um,

411
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and to you know, stay away from the fighting as

412
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: much as I can, you know, um, which you know

413
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: clearly we're on here, we're talking about it. Um. This

414
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: is not meant to be a fight with anybody. This

415
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: is obviously our personal opinions and like where we're coming from,

416
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: and and hopefully, you know, to influence people to see

417
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: things similarly than us. Like I'm sure some people would

418
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: think that is arguing, but that's certainly not the approach

419
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: that I feel like I'm taking. But um, you know,

420
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: I just hope and pray that like we find a

421
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: loving solution out of all of this mess because it

422
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: just feels like the world is and you know, let's

423
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: not we haven't even touched on what's happening sort of

424
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: you know in the West where you know, our reservoirs

425
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: are are drying up and forty million people aren't going

426
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: to have water. I mean, it's just the world is

427
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: dumpster fire right now, and um, it is it's heavy.

428
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: So it is heavy. And when I told you we

429
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: were trying to think of a topic for this week,

430
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: I was like, I literally can only think of you know,

431
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: heavy stuff and how overwhelmed I feel. This week has

432
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: been really hard for me to even like function and

433
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: go to work, you know, as an impact, which I've

434
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: talked about a lot on this podcast, I just absorb

435
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: it all and so it takes me a minute of

436
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: process through that and dig myself out of these holes.

437
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: Times when I just take it all all on and

438
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: feel it. I've cried every day this week. Um, And

439
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: so I was like, I don't know, like, how are

440
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: we positive topic and make people laugh, which is what

441
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: we really want to do on this podcast because the

442
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: world is heavy and life is hard, and you kind

443
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: of want to start your Friday's with like a let's

444
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: just like have a fun time and get by and

445
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: support each other and all those things. And so anyway,

446
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: we decided we would talk about what's actually going on,

447
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: but then we want to bring some good news, which

448
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: I think we've done this before on this podcast. But UM,

449
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: sometimes the news feels really overwhelming to me, and like

450
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: I said, I have to turn it off because I'll

451
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: just be like so dark and it's like, wait, this

452
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: isn't actually helping me or anyone else either, just for

453
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: me to keep getting deeper into this like dark place.

454
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: And so let's focus on some of the good things

455
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: happening in the world. UM that maybe we'll help us

456
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: to navigate the hard things too because we'll have a

457
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: little more positivity in our lives. So, do you have

458
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: a good story you want to talk about to I

459
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,120

501
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of people like myself, like any listener who wants

502
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: to donate to actually make a positive change for what's

503
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: going on in there. And it's it's a it's a

504
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: low lift thing on our part, you know. Yeah, I

505
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: mean I love when you find a tangible thing to do.

506
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's really hard. Like I'll try to

507
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: find places to go volunteer or something or do something

508
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: to help, because a lot of times that helps keep

509
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: me out. You know. It's just perspective. When you go

510
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: help someone else, you're like, oh, yeah, my life's pretty

511
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: great actually, um but but it can be difficult. So

512
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: when you do find a good organization and one that's trustworthy,

513
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: I think it's really good news to spread. Yes, um, Okay,

514
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: So I actually I was looking at there's this website

515
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: called good News Network dot org. Have you ever heard

516
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: of this? Yeah? I love this website if you're ever

517
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: feeling down. I mean, it's literally one click to all

518
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: this good news, good talks, they say, good gifts, how

519
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: to get involved, there's a lot of different things they do. Um.

520
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: So I picked out a couple of articles that I

521
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: thought were really cute. But this one is called black

522
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Cat Meals. Black Cats Meals lead rescuers do an eighty

523
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: three year old owner after she fell into a ravine.

524
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: So you know, black cats are really no and for

525
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: being bad luck and like people always are, you know,

526
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: oh God, there's the black cat. You're doomed and in

527
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: this situation, this is definitely like, don't judge, yeah, don't

528
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: judge the cat by its cover, y'all. Because this cat

529
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: so apparently, like the eight three year old went missing

530
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: and um, they looked for forever and no one could

531
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: find her. This is in England, and literally the neighbors

532
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: are finally like, no, we're just gonna get out and

533
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: do it. And they launched this this search party and

534
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: the cat kept like ferociously meowing, and it was they said,

535
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: the cat is very attached to her. They started to

536
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: pay attention that the cat wouldn't leave them alone, and

537
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: they finally like follow the cat. It takes them into

538
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: into this maze basically of this field and they're like,

539
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: the crop is so tall. They said it was standing

540
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: like seven ft tall. So it was fascinating that the

541
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: cat could even know. But she had gotten she had

542
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: gone into the field and tumbled down and so she

543
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: was down to seventy ft ravine where she obviously would

544
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: have passed away if she had stayed there forever. She

545
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get out. There was a bunch of barbed wires

546
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: she had fallen through. Um, but the police were able

547
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: to come and rescue her, and she is alive and

548
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: well today. Here kitty kitty, here, kitty kitty kitty things

549
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: to the black cat. Who would have thought, yeah, don't judge,

550
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: don't judge something by the way it looks. You know.

551
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: That's how they say, don't judge my journey. You just

552
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: don't even know. We don't know what. It's funny because

553
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: I feel like cats often too, are thought to be

554
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: like kind of selfish, Like right right right now, I

555
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: don't know where my owner is. I'm just yeah, like

556
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: it's not it's not Lassie, you know, right, Like that

557
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: would be like yeah Lassie, Oh my god, I forgot

558
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: that ship. I mean look, I feel like if you're

559
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: if you were around Lastie, danger was coming. You know,

560
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: danger actually follows last see, so she can like magib

561
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: her her way out of it. Yeah, it's like murders

562
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: grow when Angela Landsbury shows up in your town, you

563
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: better get the funk out because somebody's other die. All right,

564
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: what else you got? Well? I saw. I was just

565
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: sort of thumbing through Upworthy, which is a it's a

566
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: Instagram page that I follow and just for like some

567
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: like I mean, you can see puppies and shipped on there,

568
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: but like they always put cute stories. And I saw

569
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: this tweet that like killed me because I feel like

570
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: I would do something like this. Um this this. This

571
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: woman tweeted a story about her parents and that says,

572
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: my parents. My parents invited all of their friends and

573
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: family to a costume party, and then the people got there,

574
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: they found out it was actually their wedding, and so

575
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: all the pictures, all the pictures from the wedding, like

576
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: the only people that are like dressed like they're going

577
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: to a wedding are the parents, and I think the grimsman,

578
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, and bridesmaids, and then everyone else that looks

579
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: like all theween party and there there Pete, there's like

580
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: an energy. Guys are bunny. There's I mean, it's so cute.

581
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: Talk about epic wedding pictures. What I mean. Yeah, there's

582
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: there's like two people dressed up as like ham and

583
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: cheese sandwiches, and they're like the big heads on, Like

584
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: could you imagine if he showed two people dressed up

585
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: as like old people. It's and the costumes are pretty epic.

586
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Two you know that's amazing. I love it so much.

587
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: It's like it's an example of not taking yourself so serious,

588
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: but just about to say I actually love it for

589
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: that reason alone, because weddings in and of themselves, people

590
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: are just getting so serious and it's like their day

591
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: and don't you mess it up. And then this is

592
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: like the opposite of that. There's all these um costumes,

593
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: energies or bunnies. I mean sounds hilarious. Well, and it

594
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: also you know, it kind of makes it everybody's day suddenly,

595
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, like everyone's participating in a different sort of way. Yeah,

596
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: can you google what it means? And a ladybug lands

597
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: on you? Because a ladybug just showed up on the

598
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: table right next to me, and I'm wondering why, and

599
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: I think it's good luck lady a ladybug. I think

600
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: I think that is right. Okay, you google it while

601
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: I read this story. This is this is a bit

602
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: like um, the raising money thing that you that you

603
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: mentioned in some ways. But it's kind of strange because

604
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: it comes from a hacker. So this hacker stole and

605
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: gave back six hundred million dollars um that he stole.

606
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't know really exactly what happened, but he he

607
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: just had this turn of events in his in his

608
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: life and he decided he was going to give this

609
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: money back. And because he gave it back, um, it

610
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: was a it was a form of cryptocurrency that the

611
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: company was the thing that he gave it back, and

612
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: they hired him to work in their security network, which

613
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, people might be like, well,

614
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: how would you ever well, how would you ever trust

615
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: this person? But the reality is like, obviously there's something

616
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: in him that has some sort of conscious that said

617
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: this is not the right thing, and he couldn't get

618
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: away with it even though he had six hundred million dollars.

619
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: And so I love the idea of coming back the

620
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: part of us inside that I do believe everyone has

621
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: that little voice. Maybe Sama is just buried more than others,

622
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: but that intuition was like, this is not the right thing.

623
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: I can't be the selfish person. I'm gonna give this back.

624
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: And then it worked out because you got a job.

625
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: So I love that they gave him the chance to

626
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: really make it right. And it seems like a really

627
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: awesome comeback story to me. Well you know, it's funny

628
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: too because it also shows that the security company is

629
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of smart, like you want you want the best

630
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: people on your team, you know, like you want, you want,

631
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: you need somebody all on your team to think that

632
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: is able to outthink the bad guys. Well, right, he

633
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: obviously was able to do something six hundred million dollars later,

634
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: like he must write job right, So I mean for anything,

635
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: it was like the most incredible audition ever or interview ever.

636
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: It reminds me of I didn't know about this, but

637
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: there was, I mean there was. It was called Operation

638
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: paper Clip, and it was a secret US intelligence program

639
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 1: that hired six I'm looking at Wikipedia right now. Um,

640
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: they hired sixteen hundred German scientists, engineers, and technicians that

641
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: were taken from former Nazi Germany and given employment in

642
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: the US government after World War Two. And they basically

643
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: they were hired into places like NASA and stuff. And

644
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: the thought was that the US government would rather have

645
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: these people working for US then working for our enemies.

646
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of people were sort of forced,

647
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: um forced. You know, this is probably gonna get me

648
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: into some hot water, but I can imagine that there

649
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: were good people in Nazi Germany who felt like they

650
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: did what they had to do to survive, you know

651
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. So and they did fucking terrible things.

652
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: But um, you know these like the brilliant minds that

653
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: were scientists and engineers and stuff that we're you know,

654
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: part of the regime. Why let them fall back fall

655
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: into the hands further hands of bad people when you

656
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: can redeem themselves and have them work for the better

657
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: part of the world. So, um, that's it's a sort

658
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: of similar story. So it's a bit of a tangent. Well,

659
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: I had another like, I think, what's a ladybug mean? Oh?

660
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: I did look that up. Um it does say that

661
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: many cultures believe that ladybugs come bearing good luck and

662
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: well being. In France, when a ladybug glands on you

663
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: this is from medium bug. Huh. When in France, when

664
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: a ladybug lance on you, your alignments will soon be gone.

665
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: I mean sorry, your ailments will soon be gone. If

666
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: you kill it deliberately, you'll curse yourself with sadness and grief.

667
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: In Belgium, if crawls across the lady's hand, she will

668
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: be married soon. For Britain's ladybugs announced the nice Weather

669
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: and Italian moms believe that their child will live a

670
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: life of luck of a ladybug lands on their baby's cradle. Interesting. Okay,

671
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: well I'm gonna go ahead and just I'm gonna leave

672
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: out the like marriage or whatever all those other ones were,

673
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: but just say that I'm going to get some good luck.

674
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: We're sitting here reading about good news, trying to keep

675
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: it positive. So maybe the universe that was the reward

676
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: of this is the right direction. I know. Alright, what

677
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: else you got? You got another one for us? Um, Well,

678
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: this one's funny because I'm not much of a sports guy,

679
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: but I did see this pop up on a few

680
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: things on Instagram today, and um, there's a story about

681
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: an English golfer named David's Skins that has gained He

682
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: gained his PGA Tour card um for the first time

683
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: in his career, and just eight months ago he was

684
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: a door dash driver, like he's he has been trying

685
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: for like sixteen years on the pro golf circuit, like

686
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: end up on the PGA Tour. His perseverance, perseverance paid

687
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: off sixteen years, thirty nine years old. Like it's pretty amazing. Yeah,

688
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: they're saying it like it's so and I'm like, shots fired. Man, Well,

689
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: you know, thirty nine years old for an athlete is

690
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: like that's that's that's a late time to like sort

691
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: of hit what you're like peak goal, right, So I

692
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: mean I think it's like it's just a great lesson.

693
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: It's like whether you're an athlete or not. Like, I

694
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's too late, ever, too late to really

695
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: like chase your dream keep following your dreams. Yeah's you're

696
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: willing to work hard for it. This is the one

697
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: I want to end on just because I just love

698
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: this story so much. But um, speaking of never quitting

699
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: following your dreams, this is sort of more of a

700
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: case of you just never know what life, what's going

701
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: to unfold in life, and so just really being open

702
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: to what the universe need you to show up and

703
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: do and what your purposes and just keep following that

704
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: and maybe staying out of your own will and letting

705
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: you know, God's will or your higher power or whatever

706
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: it is you want to say, guide you into the

707
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: place you're supposed to be. But during the pandemic, there

708
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: is a man named John Butler. He's eighty four years

709
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: old from Derbyshire, England, and apparently he has this voice

710
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: that is like butter It's just like very tranquil calming presence,

711
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: um per one of the listeners. It's a voice like

712
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: a warm glass of milk, and he somehow got someone

713
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: started him a YouTube channel called The Spiritual Unfoldment with

714
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: John Butler during the pandemic because so many people were

715
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: suffering from anxiety, and so he has these words of wisdom.

716
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: You know, he's an eighty four year old man. He's

717
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: obviously lived a really long life, but he will have

718
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: these words of wisdom that he brings to this YouTube

719
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: channel with that soothing voice that has now helped hundreds

720
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: of thousands of people. Apparently he has like a hundred

721
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: and eighty two thousands subscribers worldwide, and people are saying

722
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: that it's massively helping them to learn how to meditate,

723
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: to soothe their anxiety, to get through the days, to

724
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: overcome depression, and all of this stuff. And he is

725
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: eighty four years old, and all that he says about

726
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: this is um He said, this is the quip from

727
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: and he said, so many people have this problem with

728
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: an agitated mind, a restless mind. And because one instinctive,

729
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: instinctively seeks for some sort of balance, people look for

730
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: rest or peace, don't they? If something in my voice

731
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: can pyse that restfulness, then thank God for that. I

732
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: don't know quite how it happens, but I'm just quietly

733
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: glad to be able to share what I love. So,

734
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: if you guys want to check him out again, it

735
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: is called Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler. Apparently I'm actually

736
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: gonna go check him out because I just love that

737
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: story and like, I love the wisdom coming from our elders,

738
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Like I think that we completely neglect so much wisdom

739
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: if we don't pay attention to people like that, Like

740
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: he's an eighty four year old man, he's obviously, yes,

741
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: Like why would we think at you know, thirty nine,

742
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: Why would I think that I know anything more than

743
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: a person like that. And so I'm so just excited

744
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: about that kind of thing happening, and just also like

745
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: sort of what you're saying, like you're never too old.

746
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: You don't know what the universe has planned for you. Um,

747
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: and if you can help someone else out with some

748
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: skill set that just comes really naturally to you, I

749
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: think that's why we're here. That's amazing. Yeah, I love

750
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: that one. Did you have anything else or was that

751
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: your final p Yeah, Well, we actually have a bunch

752
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: of listener emails this week, and so let's see what

753
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: we can get through. We got a lot of feedback

754
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: from our pickup lines last week. Um, I gotta I

755
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: got a couple that we're sort of like highlights for me,

756
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: so I wanted to share some with you guys. This

757
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: one was actually from this website called insta insta dot

758
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: single that someone sent me. But it says the guy

759
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: says to the girl, Hey, I want to steal my

760
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: compious hoodie, and she goes, what the funk? Yes, sweet,

761
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: but you got two choices. You prefer burgundy or more

762
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: of an olive green one. I think these guys were friends,

763
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: and so like, this is the guy saying this, and

764
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: so she says back all of green ice or whichever

765
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: one is bigger. So he writes back, okay, okay, I'll

766
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: be sure to wear that on our first date. Speaking

767
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: of when is that? I love it? That's kind of clever.

768
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't mind that one brooks in this one and

769
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: she said my all time favorite is did you sit

770
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: in sugar? Because you have a pretty sweet ass. I

771
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: got might slap somebody if they said that to me

772
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: when I first met them. Um, this is from Casey.

773
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: She said, I feel like I always message you, but

774
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm the victim of a cheesy pickup line. And we

775
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: are married. My husband asked me what my name was

776
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: and I told him Casey, and then he proceeded to

777
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: go into his phone. How did up and said, oh,

778
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: spelled like this and I said yes, and he said nice.

779
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: Now all I need is your number, and she said,

780
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: smack my head, which is why I gave it to him.

781
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, why I gave it to him, I'll never know.

782
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: But I actually think that that was really smooth. I

783
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: think that's kind of smooth too, especially if you're like

784
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: talking to someone for a little bit, like at a

785
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: bar for instance, um, and then you're just like, oh, wait,

786
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: is this how you spell it? And then they're like yeah,

787
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: but it's already like up and in it, so you're

788
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna of course you're gonna give it right, And it's

789
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: just a it's a creative way to be like, can

790
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: I have your number? Like you if you want to

791
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: communicate further with somebody, like you need that right, like

792
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: you have a sweet ask You're just like what, yeah, yeah,

793
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: I loved it. Okay. We have a couple of questions.

794
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: This one's for me, but I would love your insights

795
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: because we've talked about friend breakups before, and obviously I

796
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: went through a very public one, and so people keep

797
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: these questions coming like I'm an expert because of that,

798
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know, I don't know, I

799
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: don't navigate this, but let's see what we can do.

800
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Um it says Kelly. I just recently ran into a

801
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: person I used to be friends with. We had a

802
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: falling out and it was really hard. I'm wondering, have

803
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: you ever run into Kristen in Nashville. It just feels

804
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: so weird. I've been feeling off since I saw her

805
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: and it was two days ago. I would love to

806
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts or even a podcast on how to

807
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: navigate that. I feel like we do the work, but

808
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: when but then when you see the person, it just

809
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: seems like all of a sudden, those feelings come up again.

810
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: I actually have not run into Kristen. I'm probably going

811
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: to this week just because I said that a loud

812
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: I did run into Justin last week, and I told

813
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: you this Justin Anderson. Yeah, we had an awkward like

814
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: he definitely saw me, but I don't care. I don't care.

815
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 1: I have noticed that what's her presents name? I can't

816
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: even remember. M Jay. I heard that J is teasing

817
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: a run for the school board and one well, I

818
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: was referencing him a bunch when I was talking about

819
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: celebrities who have you know, a lot of me just

820
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: some kind of like maybe let's stay out of this

821
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: one guys. Um. But anyway, Uh, yeah, I have not

822
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: run into Kristen, and I'm sure I'm certain at some

823
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: point I will. And I totally understand where it brings

824
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: up all the feelings that I personally do. You feel

825
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: like I've worked through a lot of them, but like

826
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: I know, if I ran into her, it would bring

827
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: so much stuff to the service, because it's definitely not

828
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: like you know, I think we all like can hold

829
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: onto certain pieces and it just takes time to get

830
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: through them. So I would say when my advice, my

831
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: only advice would be just let yourself feel the feelings

832
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: that come up, because that's just a trigger, you know,

833
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: It's like it brings up what happened. It's a reminder.

834
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: It's like when you run into a next boyfriend. It

835
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: just can sort of like gut punch you for a second,

836
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: but just remember too why you guys moved to one

837
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: in the friendship, and um, hopefully you can just send

838
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: them off with love and light and go about your

839
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: day once you process your emotions. What was that good advice?

840
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 1: You know? It's like journal, meditate, do all the things.

841
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: But I think it's also like ask yourself what you

842
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: need in those kind of scenarios, because friendship breakups are

843
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: just as hard to me as sometimes as romantic relationships.

844
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: It's devastating, and you know, especially if there's a betrayal

845
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: of any kind or hurt feelings or whatever it is,

846
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: which I think there probably is on both sides at

847
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: all times any sort of breakup. So just let yourself

848
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: feel the feelings and process that and don't shame yourself

849
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: because regardless of how much time it's been, it's just

850
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: ampul process. Hell. I also think it's important to remind ourselves,

851
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: like people come and go in our lives, like we

852
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't have We shouldn't put this like pressure on ourselves

853
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: to make like anyone in our lives per minute, you know, like,

854
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: and the truth is you'll get past it, like you will,

855
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: you will move on and you will be happy and

856
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: it will soon be a distant memory. And I think

857
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: it's also like I've always approached whether it's a friend breakup,

858
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, a romantic breakup, it's like, is it worth

859
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: having this like negative energy and my life? Even when

860
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: its like and maybe it looked that could be a

861
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: completely unhealthy approach to because I don't know that I

862
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: necessarily process everything fully, but I choose to just be

863
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: like I wish to them, well, I don't want to

864
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: fight over things. I don't need this negativity. And I

865
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: mean the truth this is I'm still friendly with all

866
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: of my my ex is. Um, you know, I don't

867
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: like go out to dinner with them, but like sometimes

868
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: we'll share like funny stories on Instagram with each other,

869
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: or we'll text occasion with text on birthdays. Like we're friendly,

870
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: you know. And even like I've had very few like

871
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: massive friend breakups, but even the few that I've had

872
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: in my life, like a couple of them, enough time

873
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: has gone by that it's come back around and we're friendly. Um.

874
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: But then there's also plenty of people who like I've

875
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: loved as friends. It's like maybe I was in college,

876
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: maybe I was living in New York prela like that

877
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: just fall out of your life and it's okay, you know,

878
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: like obviously care and about them and wish them well,

879
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: but like they're not in my life anymore. And it's

880
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not devastated and I'm not either. So

881
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I think it's really important to remember like it just

882
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: happens sometimes, it's a circle of life. So I love

883
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: that point about that we put this pressure on relationships

884
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: to be in our lives forever. I mean, I've done

885
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: this in dating relationships too, and I think a lot

886
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: of us do. That's like the program we we have

887
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: specifically as women, like you've got to find your partner,

888
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: your forever partner. You're even people say that about homes,

889
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: like you're forever home, and it's like, that's not really

890
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: how life works. And my experience it's been very much

891
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: that there's seasons of things and like what did you

892
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: learn from that relationship? What did they bring to you?

893
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: What do you what did you learn that you don't

894
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: want that that relationship brought to you? And like how

895
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: did it form you into the person that you've become now?

896
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: And those are the kind of positives that we can

897
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: focus on because you know, there is pain related to it,

898
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to say sad stuff that obviously,

899
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm a big feel or of all my feelings,

900
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: so feel it. But also, like you said, take a

901
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: step back and ask yourself maybe what you learned, and

902
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: try to focus on that and the positives of what

903
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: that relationship brought to your life and even the breakup

904
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: brought to your life versus like focusing on the negative aspects.

905
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, um okay, this one actually comes to you, Chip.

906
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: This is from Wheeler and he says, Chip, how are

907
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: babies made? I order if I know which Wheeler that is,

908
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think that you do? I

909
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: think I probably do? Well. Tell us out. Babies are

910
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: made a stork flies at where and drops it in

911
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: your house? Babies are made from love? Oh wow, Yeah,

912
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: they're They're made out of love and desire. Desire. See,

913
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: that's that's more the answer I think we like. Sometimes

914
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: they're made accidentally. You know, I fall I fall in

915
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: that category myself. So, um, wait, you made a baby accidentally?

916
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh I was a mistake. You're not a mistake. Do

917
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: not ever talk to you? Know, my parents told me

918
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: I was a mistake. It wasn't that they didn't want

919
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 1: another kid, they just didn't want another kid so soon

920
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: I just came. Yeah, it was a happy accident. So um. Yeah.

921
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,959
Speaker 1: But sometimes babies are made out of you know, love

922
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: or accidents, love or lots of sequila. Yeah, yeah, I

923
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 1: know which Wheeler that was. You're gonna have to send

924
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: me a screenshot of that, because I have you ever

925
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: listened to this guy? To kid Leroy? Now, I've seen

926
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: his name a lot, though. Yeah, I don't know what

927
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: just there's a big transition there that I'm missing. But

928
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: if Wheelers listening, he'll laugh. Okay. So this one comes

929
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: from Pamela, and she actually wrote in a couple of

930
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I don't know if you remember me talking

931
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: about those bathing suit pictures that I posted. And then

932
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 1: I got really in my head and I was like, wait,

933
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: am I doing exactly what I'm getting so frustrated with

934
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: as far as like the patriarchy is concerned. I'm playing

935
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: into this and I'm over sexualizing myself, and like, I

936
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: just really got in my head about it. And I

937
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: was talking about that on Instagram and then also on

938
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: the podcast, and I read this email from Pamela, and

939
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: she said that she was in fact asking herself, like,

940
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: what's up with all these bikini pictures? And I was.

941
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: I think when I read it in the podcast, I

942
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, that like made me cringe

943
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: and I felt like I was being judged. So she

944
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: must have heard that one and she wrote back in

945
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to read her email because I

946
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,760
Speaker 1: thought it was so kind, But she said, Hey, Kelly,

947
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: first of all, I am so sorry if my email

948
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: about bikini picks made you feel judged. I realized it

949
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: didn't come across quite right. I think what was amazing

950
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: about the entire moment was that I realized how programmed

951
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: I am to think women should act a certain way

952
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: or project a certain image. It made me step back

953
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: and evaluate myself. Why am I defaulting too thoughts like that,

954
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: I am the one who has unintentionally judged my female sisters,

955
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: so so for that, I truly apologize. I'm so proud

956
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: of you as a person, primarily because you aren't afraid

957
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: to do the work to understand yourself that most people

958
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: don't or won't do, and you're sharing that journey so

959
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: we all learn. You are a rock star. I love you, girl.

960
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean that email like basically made me cry, but um,

961
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: I love that because it was one woman saying to

962
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: another woman like, wow, your thoughts you're overthinking. Almost made

963
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: me kind of ask myself some questions. And we as

964
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: women are particularly hard on ourselves and also each other.

965
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's I constantly feel this thing

966
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: in my mind that really realistically is like my own

967
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: insecurities that pop up, like about other women, and I

968
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: started judging them or having some comments to say or

969
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, alienating a woman in some way and whatever

970
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: way that I don't know feels better to me in

971
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: the moment, and it just doesn't feel good to be

972
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: that way anymore. And so I do like that we're

973
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: starting to ask these questions. And there's this whole thing

974
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: about like powered women, empower women, but I think it

975
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: takes a lot more than just that. Like I think

976
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: these are the bigger questions and the big actions that

977
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: we have to start asking ourselves, and they're fucking hard

978
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: to do. Sometimes it takes a very secure, um, very loving,

979
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: confident woman to support other women, and because we've been

980
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: taught not to, I think, and so it's to get

981
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: rid of that old programming and to teach that to

982
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: young girls instead of the other way around. I think

983
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be awesome if we can do it,

984
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: and I'm just glad these conversations are starting, so Pam,

985
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: thank you so much for that. You know that really

986
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: didn't make my day that I do to um, Well,

987
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: that's really all I got. I think we're running out

988
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: of time for listener emails, but you guys keep them

999
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: don't think I have. I thought I had outgrown this thing.

1000
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: I thought it was over the age where bachelorette parties happen.

1001
