Speaker 1: Sunday sampler clips from shows.
Speaker 2: We got a good one we're gonna start with.
Speaker 1: And by the way, big shout out to Dr Josie
Speaker 1: for saving my dog's life over this past week. I'm
Speaker 1: not even kidding. She had to come over at nine
Speaker 1: pm because my dog ate a whole loaf of bread
Speaker 1: and you can't have dogs eat loafs of bread because
Speaker 1: their stomach will explode. Basically, I did not know this,
Speaker 1: So big shout out to Doctor Josie because she's saved
Speaker 1: a dog's life.
Speaker 2: I hope you check out her podcast.
Speaker 1: In this week's episode of In the Vets Office, Doctor
Speaker 1: Josie talked with glam guru Tarren Feldman. She does hair
Speaker 1: and makeup for some of the biggest stars in Nashville
Speaker 1: and Hollywood. Tarren has a sixteen year old dog.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear.
Speaker 1: About that, and Doctor Josie and Tarren talk about introducing
Speaker 1: an old dog to a new dogcause that's what Tarren
Speaker 1: had to do.
Speaker 2: So let's get started.
Speaker 1: By the way, we got some Bobby cast with Maggie
Speaker 1: Rose coming up. We got some four Things with Amy
Speaker 1: Brown sore loose. There's all that on the way. But
Speaker 1: now let's get started with the clip from in the
Speaker 1: Vets Office with Doctor Josie.
Speaker 4: You're listening to in the Vets Office with doctor Josie Horchak.
Speaker 5: It's interesting you say, like, I do think there's a
Speaker 5: huge portion to having to advocate for your own pet,
Speaker 5: and honestly, in human medicine too, you have to advocate
Speaker 5: for yourself. Yeah, and it's because it is at the
Speaker 5: end of the day, like you're working with these massive
Speaker 5: hospital systems and people that don't know your animals like
Speaker 5: you do. And so I think, I'm sorry you had
Speaker 5: that experience, but I do understand like having to advocate
Speaker 5: for your own animals. And I hope that some of
Speaker 5: the time that you got with her and like doing
Speaker 5: that surgery, like she would not have had those two
Speaker 5: months if you hadn't done it.
Speaker 6: So hopefully, no, I mean you got more time either way.
Speaker 6: I got a little bit more time that I really
Speaker 6: didn't know. I thought they were like you could She'll
Speaker 6: probably last till December, which was around my birthday, which
Speaker 6: was my fortieth birthday. So I was gonna go to
Speaker 6: BALI I was gonna do all stuff, and I just
Speaker 6: put everything on hold, which is not a big deal.
Speaker 6: I could care less. But and then I just lost
Speaker 6: her like so much sooner. I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 6: you're like damn, yeah, I know, but you just you
Speaker 6: just don't know. And I would have done it the
Speaker 6: same way again. Yeah, Like the end of her life
Speaker 6: was like so peaceful and so like what a great
Speaker 6: like you you only hope that you can like have
Speaker 6: your pet die in your arms, or I do at least, Yeah,
Speaker 6: like I don't. Some people can't handle or they think
Speaker 6: they can't, but they can.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But that's like my hope is that, like all my
Speaker 6: dogs just die in my office.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, with the person they love the most. Yeah,
Speaker 5: are kind of ushering them out of this world. Yeah,
Speaker 5: because ultimately they're the most comfortable in your arms.
Speaker 6: Right, so far, I've had that's happened with Leila and Twila. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: I'm so grateful.
Speaker 5: So Layla. Gosh, we're going from one sad story to another.
Speaker 6: I know. So Twila died September twenty fourth, and then
Speaker 6: Layla died September thirtieth.
Speaker 5: Really I didn't know that, Yeah one year almost, Oh
Speaker 5: my god.
Speaker 6: Oh and then Lucy's probably uh quick dog hack, don't
Speaker 6: get multiple dogs the same age. Just don't do it, stagger,
Speaker 6: Why would you do that?
Speaker 5: Stagger?
Speaker 6: The ages I did that was so dumb.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we're having a little bit of a domino
Speaker 5: effect right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Laila was another one where you called me
Speaker 5: and you're like, uh, I think it might be time.
Speaker 5: And I really this really resonated with me because we
Speaker 5: got on the phone, and again, I have two different
Speaker 5: kinds of owners that are like I maybe not even
Speaker 5: two different kinds, but I like what you said. You
Speaker 5: were just like I need you to come look at
Speaker 5: this dog, yeah, and be objective and tell me is
Speaker 5: this the right decision or is it not the right decision.
Speaker 5: I think we as veterinarians kind of forget that that
Speaker 5: is our job is to help guide you and like
Speaker 5: we and I don't want the owners to ever have
Speaker 5: to like feel like they're the judge and jury with
Speaker 5: their dogs passing, you know, like I that's on me,
Speaker 5: Like I should help you make that decision, right. And
Speaker 5: so I totally got that. And I hope that if
Speaker 5: there's any veterinarians listening out there, like we remember that,
Speaker 5: like we should be the ones throwing youth in Asia
Speaker 5: on the table and saying like it's okay and like
Speaker 5: this is the right decision to be making for this pet. Yeah,
Speaker 5: because it's really hard even myself as a vet when
Speaker 5: it's my own dog. I had to have my husband
Speaker 5: be like it's time. Yeah, you lose all when it's
Speaker 5: your own pet, you lose all objectiveness.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's weird. I mean, I definitely think Twila
Speaker 6: prepped me for Leila, but you don't you like you
Speaker 6: think you're like, my life's going to be over when
Speaker 6: this dog dies, hell will freeze over, or like I'll die.
Speaker 6: But there's something that kicks in, and I think it's
Speaker 6: just your love for them, Yes, that you just you
Speaker 6: I love them so much that you're just like I'm
Speaker 6: not putting you through another ounce.
Speaker 5: You can't spare a second to see themselves.
Speaker 6: Of like pain, and I think that's like just ultimately
Speaker 6: what it was so like easy and easy, even though
Speaker 6: it's not an easy decision, but it made it easier
Speaker 6: just you just know she's in pain. Yeah, that's it,
Speaker 6: it's done. Yeah, and if you have an old dog,
Speaker 6: how wonderful is that the luckiest Leila is sixteen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Unbelievable. Twila was eleven or twelve. I'll never know, but
Speaker 6: I think she was like eleven or twelve. She may
Speaker 6: have been thirteen. And Lucy's sixteen and a half.
Speaker 5: Amazing. She's trucking, yeah, doing.
Speaker 6: It, And I feel like she's got like another six
Speaker 6: months left inner.
Speaker 5: I love that Ptaly longer. It is funny at the end,
Speaker 5: I feel like we cling on to like, Oh, but
Speaker 5: I don't want to live what's out them. I don't
Speaker 5: want like I can't bear this pain of losing them.
Speaker 5: But ultimately, like just like you said, like, but I
Speaker 5: love them more than I love myself. Yeah, so, and
Speaker 5: I can't keep them alive just to make me less
Speaker 5: sad for a few more days.
Speaker 6: Well, And with Leaila, Twila didn't she wasn't that old
Speaker 6: that her. She was still Twila. Laila wasn't Layla anymore.
Speaker 6: And Layla hadn't been Leila in a really long time.
Speaker 6: When after she died, I was going through like old videos,
Speaker 6: old photos, and I'm just like, oh, I didn't realize.
Speaker 6: I've just gotten so used to taking care like of
Speaker 6: these geriatric dogs.
Speaker 5: They're running a nursing home.
Speaker 6: They're just not even themselves anymore. They're so different, you know,
Speaker 6: which just gave me a little bit more peace of.
Speaker 5: Did you ever feel like they're something called caregiver like
Speaker 5: compassion overload? Did you ever feel that we were like
Speaker 5: this is like tough on me, or you're just like, No,
Speaker 5: I love them so much that I don't even think
Speaker 5: about it.
Speaker 6: No, the last like year and a half two years
Speaker 6: have been really hard.
Speaker 5: I bet, I bet.
Speaker 6: It's extremely hard taking care of old dogs and then
Speaker 6: having them die back to back. Yeah, and just all
Speaker 6: I do is take worry about them, take care of them,
Speaker 6: fork out money.
Speaker 7: A lot of labels would say like, we love what
Speaker 7: you do, we just don't know what to do with you,
Speaker 7: and I would be met with that all the time.
Speaker 7: And so I think you just got to keep making music. Well,
Speaker 7: and you know this whole Big Loud thing, like I
Speaker 7: talked to you after that happened, And.
Speaker 1: Do you want to say what that is before you
Speaker 1: talk about it? Do you mind talking saying.
Speaker 7: No, I haven't gotten to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Would you like to talk about it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So then let's let's back up. And first of all,
Speaker 1: Big Loud is a label. Yes, it's also management, it's
Speaker 1: a thing. But they signed you.
Speaker 7: They signed me, and like they are, you know, by
Speaker 7: all conventional standards, crushing it. They at the time that
Speaker 7: I signed with them, had Morgan Wallen and Hardy and Earnest,
Speaker 7: and they were trying to expand. And I had already
Speaker 7: made No One Gets Out Alive. The record was done,
Speaker 7: it was mastered. I was probably going to just release
Speaker 7: it the way I had released my previous two albums,
Speaker 7: which is change the whole thing.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you say, released it as you did
Speaker 1: your last two albums.
Speaker 7: Just independently, like with A I have a good team
Speaker 7: of publicists and distributors, and you know, we would hire
Speaker 7: independent promotion and everything more for Triple A Radio and
Speaker 7: Americana focuses. But Nate Yetten heard this record and he
Speaker 7: was hired as an A and R, which is kind
Speaker 7: of the could be the coolest job ever.
Speaker 2: Your job is to find good cultivate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go find it and build it.
Speaker 7: His specific objective with Big Loud was to broaden their
Speaker 7: musical roster to find critical acclaim. Like he told me
Speaker 7: and my husband Austin is like, you know, we want
Speaker 7: a Grammy critical acclaim.
Speaker 1: By the way, artists that you're respected for having but
Speaker 1: may not be commercially as viable. But you're like, they're
Speaker 1: really good and the critics love them. But and there's
Speaker 1: a difference. But they wanted something that wasn't populous. Yes,
Speaker 1: because Morgan's killing a Hardy's killing it and people will
Speaker 1: be like, well, you got people that are making hits.
Speaker 1: They wanted a symphony. Yeah, and that's you.
Speaker 2: They wanted you.
Speaker 7: I was totally flattered and inspired by the vision and
Speaker 7: it was surprising to me. I don't feel like I
Speaker 7: was definitely the outlier on their roster and in terms
Speaker 7: of critical acclaim like, no, I'm not shy about saying
Speaker 7: that we've had no shortage of that the last couple
Speaker 7: of records. And that goes back to your question about
Speaker 7: you know, frustration and myself and people. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 7: that was there.
Speaker 1: But I think credibility is another word I would use.
Speaker 1: Not to interrupt you, I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: our audience knows what's going on. I think they want
Speaker 1: a credibility from music with depth. Yeah, not that the
Speaker 1: other guys don't have it, but they're killing it again.
Speaker 1: I use were populous in a very populous way. Uh,
Speaker 1: they want a credibility, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when I think they're a young enough company that
Speaker 7: that was the right time for them to then take
Speaker 7: that step in the direction to say, okay, we can
Speaker 7: do more than just have these massive streaming darlings and
Speaker 7: you know, go direct to consumer and have a hit.
Speaker 7: And I have no doubt that they love this record,
Speaker 7: Like that's not something that I negate and I appreciate
Speaker 7: their vision in it, but like it was an undeniable
Speaker 7: off for it was like, we're gonna acquire this whole album.
Speaker 7: We made beautiful music videos, we did all this incredible
Speaker 7: artwork and packaging, you know, with Sofia Matanezad and Nikki
Speaker 7: Fletcher shooting these videos, and they talked about partnering with
Speaker 7: Polydor out of UK and just how like this was
Speaker 7: going to be, you know, an adult contemporary pop album,
Speaker 7: and they were really going to strategize on the marketing plan.
Speaker 1: And they were promising and using resources, yes.
Speaker 7: And it wasn't like they implemented those resources in a
Speaker 7: lot of ways. And you know, I'd already waited to
Speaker 7: put this music out, so with that promise of this plan,
Speaker 7: I waited a little longer and it came out in
Speaker 7: April of twenty four and they put billboards all over
Speaker 7: East Nashville, and we did these showcases in New York
Speaker 7: City and LA and you know, we got on like
Speaker 7: these great reviews upon the release, and then it was
Speaker 7: like radio silence, which.
Speaker 1: Is what they were looking for, by the way, to
Speaker 1: have an artist that would be reviewed wonderfully by critics. Right,
Speaker 1: this this snobby part which is important, Yeah, the people
Speaker 1: that Yeah, so so you get every you get what
Speaker 1: they brought you to do. You've created something, and what
Speaker 1: you created was exactly what they had asked you to do.
Speaker 1: You went and did it all and then silent Yeah
Speaker 1: from who what do you mean? Silent?
Speaker 7: Like from And there's a lot of people like I
Speaker 7: think Candice Watkins is amazing there. She was really engaged,
Speaker 7: and I'm not sure that she she liked me. I
Speaker 7: think was blindsided about the whole thing. But I'm out
Speaker 7: on the road, I'm on the No One gets out
Speaker 7: Alive tour. H I find out that, like some of
Speaker 7: the digital marketing spending is comparable to like what I
Speaker 7: did on my own with one song on the previous record,
Speaker 7: And it's like all this investment leading up to the release,
Speaker 7: and then it's like someone freaked out or something happened,
Speaker 7: and I can speculate, and I can only speculate because
Speaker 7: no one's called me and told me what's happened. I
Speaker 7: think Seth England had a falling out with Morgan Ballin
Speaker 7: and freaked out and dropped me and a lot of
Speaker 7: other people who had stuff going on. And I also
Speaker 7: think that they realized that they didn't have the capacity
Speaker 7: within their staff to work the kind of music I
Speaker 7: was releasing. So they are great with Spotify and these
Speaker 7: streaming services and all that stuff, but like the nuance
Speaker 7: that they talked about using with this music, they didn't
Speaker 7: have it. They just didn't have the stuff. And it
Speaker 7: was three months after we put this record out. Like,
Speaker 7: it can't be based on metrics, It can't be based
Speaker 7: on analytics of how the music is performing. It hasn't
Speaker 7: even been out long enough.
Speaker 3: Cast up Little Food for Yourself Life ain't.
Speaker 8: Oh it's pretty, but it's pretty, beautiful thing beautiful laugh
Speaker 8: a little more exciting, said he can't. You're kicking that
Speaker 8: with falling with Amy Brown.
Speaker 4: Third quote, You're not stressed because you're doing too much.
Speaker 4: You are stressed because you are doing too little of
Speaker 4: what makes you feel the most alive. I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: that one of Again, you're not stressed because you're doing
Speaker 4: too much. You are stressed because you're doing too little
Speaker 4: of what makes you feel the most alive. Which I
Speaker 4: guess I should say that with these quotes, I did
Speaker 4: a lot of research and there's not any one person
Speaker 4: that said these things.
Speaker 5: First.
Speaker 4: I feel like these have been said in a few
Speaker 4: different ways, lots of times, over and over, so we're
Speaker 4: just more unknown quotes. So again, you're not stressed because
Speaker 4: you were doing too much. You are stressed because you
Speaker 4: were doing too little of what makes you feel the
Speaker 4: most alive. And I read that again because this is
Speaker 4: one that I need to read often. It flips the
Speaker 4: script on stress, like we always think, I need to
Speaker 4: do less. That's why I say I need this quote
Speaker 4: more and more because I say that that is me
Speaker 4: on my Hinge profile a long time ago, it was
Speaker 4: like what do you want to do this year? And
Speaker 4: I just kept my answer short and sweet, and I
Speaker 4: just said do less. And some of the guys that
Speaker 4: would you know, initiate conversation with me around that, they'd
Speaker 4: be like, oh, I love that, and then I could
Speaker 4: tell the other guys weren't really feeling that answer and
Speaker 4: they would.
Speaker 5: Like challenge it a little bit.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, for me in that moment, that's
Speaker 4: what I felt resonated with me the most for the year.
Speaker 4: I wanted to do less. But the example that I
Speaker 4: got for you, you know of someone that I don't
Speaker 4: even know, Like, let's say someone's plate is full, like
Speaker 4: they've got work meetings, They've got like a full kid calendar,
Speaker 4: there's chores, there's errands. We all know what that is.
Speaker 4: Like they're running on empty, exhausted, But when was the
Speaker 4: last time that maybe they did something that truly lit
Speaker 4: them up, Like maybe this person loves painting or hiking
Speaker 4: or even just sitting at a coffee shop with a
Speaker 4: good book. Adding one thing that makes you feel alive
Speaker 4: can completely shift your energy. And sometimes it's not about
Speaker 4: doing less, it's about doing more the right things. But
Speaker 4: sometimes we just have a lot of things to get
Speaker 4: done that are just on our list to get done,
Speaker 4: and we don't really have a choice because if we
Speaker 4: don't do them, how will they get done. I mean,
Speaker 4: we can have help and different people that we work
Speaker 4: with and whatnot, but still there can be an ongoing
Speaker 4: list of things that we need to get done, and
Speaker 4: it can feel overwhelming. But if you sprinkle in the
Speaker 4: things that give you that joy that fill your cup up,
Speaker 4: Leanne and I were actually even talking about this today
Speaker 4: with each other, of community and connection with friends and
Speaker 4: how sometimes we isolate and we think we're having solitude,
Speaker 4: but it turns into isolation and that we don't really
Speaker 4: have community and connection with our friends and we don't
Speaker 4: realize that's all we need. And if we were to
Speaker 4: have one hike with a friend, one coffee date with
Speaker 4: a friend, even one chat with a friend over the
Speaker 4: phone or FaceTime or something, instantly our cup can start
Speaker 4: to fill up and our energy can start to shift.
Speaker 4: So it doesn't have to be this drastic thing. It
Speaker 4: can be as simple as a phone call with a friend.
Speaker 4: So take that little nugget and yeah, Houston, roll that
Speaker 4: beautifully in audio.
Speaker 9: Okay, So this message hit me like a ton of
Speaker 9: bricks when I first, you know, got the memo because
Speaker 9: for so long I thought I was stressed because I
Speaker 9: had too much on my plate. But what I've come
Speaker 9: to realize is that my stress wasn't from doing too much.
Speaker 9: It was from who I was or wasn't being when
Speaker 9: I was doing the doing, And for me, I was
Speaker 9: trying to do all the things from a place of
Speaker 9: stress or disorder or just you know, total lack of
Speaker 9: belief in myself. And then the big one for me
Speaker 9: was doing all the things that I thought I was
Speaker 9: supposed to do or that I thought that I was
Speaker 9: supposed to want to do, and totally ignoring what makes
Speaker 9: me more of who I am and what truly.
Speaker 5: Lights me up.
Speaker 9: And when I finally started prioritizing the things that made
Speaker 9: me feel alive, and that's things like you know, writing
Speaker 9: and teaching what I'm meant to be teaching and connecting
Speaker 9: with people who just get me, or you know, just
Speaker 9: simple things like taking a walk outside and feeling the
Speaker 9: sunshine on my face and knowing that those things do
Speaker 9: have value, even if you know society doesn't necessarily deem
Speaker 9: that stuff productive. All of that completely shifted my relationship
Speaker 9: with stress and that hustle mentality. And I actually just
Speaker 9: talked about this on the Godpod about how I navigate
Speaker 9: the noise and find peace in a world of overstimulation.
Speaker 4: The lesson you struggle with will repeat itself until you
Speaker 4: learn from it. Now, this one is a little tough love,
Speaker 4: that's for sure, but it is so true like life
Speaker 4: has a way of sending us the same challenges over
Speaker 4: and over until we figure out what we're supposed to learn.
Speaker 4: And I know that I have certainly seen that happen
Speaker 4: in my own life. Imagine someone who keeps ending up
Speaker 4: in toxic friendships like they're always the one giving, always
Speaker 4: the one fixing, and and it always ends in drama,
Speaker 4: like it's easy to blame the other person. But what
Speaker 4: if the real lesson is about boundaries? And until this
Speaker 4: person learns how to set boundaries, and they're going to
Speaker 4: keep finding themselves in the same situation. Once they get it, though,
Speaker 4: it really is a total game changer and the pattern
Speaker 4: will stop and they will move forward stronger than ever.
Speaker 4: But the lesson will keep popping up. So if you
Speaker 4: have something going on in your life and you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: why does this keep happening to me? Maybe say, oh, wow,
Speaker 4: this just happened again. I recognize this. What am I
Speaker 4: supposed to be learning from this? Invite the information to
Speaker 4: come to you, Invite the lesson in ask questions. If
Speaker 4: you are confiding in a friend like, say, you're this
Speaker 4: person that ends up in these toxic friendships? Right, What
Speaker 4: if you have a confidant that you can talk to
Speaker 4: about these toxic friendships, they notice it too. Are you
Speaker 4: gonna be willing to receive that information from a trusted friend?
Speaker 4: Can you open up to that friend and say, hey,
Speaker 4: I love to get your insight on something like I
Speaker 4: keep ending up in these same patterns. Is there anything
Speaker 4: you notice that I could do differently? Or if you
Speaker 4: have a therapist being honest about these relationships instead of
Speaker 4: just going into the conversation with your friend and gossiping
Speaker 4: about the toxic person and just being the victim and
Speaker 4: talking all about what this other person did, open up
Speaker 4: to where you could have done some things differently.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 10: We are the one, two, three sore losers.
Speaker 3: What up, everybody? I am lunchbox.
Speaker 11: I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
Speaker 11: the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
Speaker 11: a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 3: It's Sison.
Speaker 10: I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male. I live
Speaker 10: on the North Side in Nashville with Baser, my wife.
Speaker 2: We do have a farm.
Speaker 10: It's beautiful, a lot of acreage, no animals, a lot
Speaker 10: of crops. Hopefully soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe maybe
Speaker 10: a little fescue to be determined. Over to you, Coach.
Speaker 11: And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Speaker 11: Sore Losers. So Brie, who I told at the beginning
Speaker 11: of the night she was gonna get to meet Keith Urban,
Speaker 11: and I just totally made it up, got her picture
Speaker 11: with Keith Urban. You s that is what happens when
Speaker 11: you come to Coach's convention. You don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 11: The time of her life. She's about to go on
Speaker 11: the ice and she meets Keith Urban.
Speaker 10: That's why your big time dude, that's why I sent
Speaker 10: you down. In lieu of her arm.
Speaker 11: Around her, Keith Urban put his arm around Brie and
Speaker 11: was like, let's take a picture.
Speaker 2: I sent you forth as tribute onto the ice.
Speaker 10: I said, I am fifteen nooners deep, I am floating,
Speaker 10: and he was on cloud nine.
Speaker 11: After that, she was like, oh my gosh. And I
Speaker 11: was like, I'm sorry, my camera's not that good. My
Speaker 11: phone is old Polaroid. I hope it is not too blurry.
Speaker 11: And she looked at it and goes, oh, it is
Speaker 11: a little blurry.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, Brie, I'm sorry, she goes, but I
Speaker 2: love it. It's perfect. It was a live pick. He got
Speaker 2: one chance, he got one shot opportunity.
Speaker 3: Not the Lions.
Speaker 2: Ray Eminem screwed him, so haily Yeah.
Speaker 11: And so then we go down to the ice a
Speaker 11: mile and let me tell you, they're getting in their orbs.
Speaker 2: We already talked about the orb. Did you just jump cell?
Speaker 2: And then full shadow it downstairs we went the cliffhanger
Speaker 2: and we're about to go on the ice, dude, And
Speaker 2: I'm standing there with Wayne d and I'm telling him
Speaker 2: how last.
Speaker 3: Year you gave DAPs to the referees.
Speaker 2: I did, Yes, I'm fifteen deep that year too.
Speaker 11: And Wayney goes, oh, man, these refs they think they're
Speaker 11: big shit. They think they're all important, they think they're
Speaker 11: so amazing. They come off all like badasses, like they're
Speaker 11: you know, run this world, Like, hey, bro, your job
Speaker 11: is the babysit millionaires that play hockey.
Speaker 3: No one cares about you guys. So they're they're.
Speaker 11: Coming off the ice in between the second and third period,
Speaker 11: and I get my camera out and I'm filming and
Speaker 11: I'm like, hey, good job keeping them in line out there.
Speaker 11: They're misbehaving a lot tonight. And the ref goes, what'd
Speaker 11: you say to me? Who are you? Who is this guy?
Speaker 11: Who is this guy? What's he doing down here? And

Speaker 2: the intermission.
Speaker 11: Dude, I told him, good job. Those guys are really

Speaker 11: job of keeping them in line.

Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 11: I was about to go on ice with Brie and
Speaker 11: Carolyn when they're gonna do their thing, and I was
Speaker 11: gonna speak into the microphone.
Speaker 10: Family is taking a plot twist. Dad's going to jail.
Speaker 10: He just got kicked out of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ref number five.
Speaker 11: Referee number five got pissed off because I say he
Speaker 11: was doing a good job.
Speaker 2: Probably a Michigan guy. Hey, slapping whack it on the
Speaker 2: ice here.
Speaker 3: He got so pissed off.
Speaker 2: Hey go to Michigan. Yeah, and old Pond nothing like
Speaker 2: that kind of icy riff. Hey, dude, doing good debt.

Speaker 3: ORB thing. We go to the game.
Speaker 11: Pred's win. H We're up there in this Grand Higat suite.
Speaker 11: Thank you to the Grand hiat for hosting us and

Speaker 11: thank you for hosting us, Thank you for letting two
Speaker 11: girls dream come true to get down on it, hold
Speaker 11: on to get down on the ice. I mean, it
Speaker 11: was awesome. It's phenomenal, great, great overall event. Then we
Speaker 11: went out on Broadway Man and I dipped out, like
Speaker 11: right when you were getting kicked out of the bar,
Speaker 11: I dipped out the back door.
Speaker 10: I know we're gonna go to commercial. They reviewed the
Speaker 10: tape and said I did nothing wrong. It was a
Speaker 10: one foot on the stage, acted like I was gonna
Speaker 10: jump on stage, but then immediately jump back.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And I believe it was a manager somebody there that
Speaker 10: I found out through our friends at Stage Pilot. They
Speaker 10: said they reviewed it. They actually have to do that
Speaker 10: on stuff like that. I did nothing wrong.
Speaker 11: Oh okay, and I and your sister was a pretty
Speaker 11: hammered muff. And she was just going around the bar
Speaker 11: and it was showing muff. She was just yelling at everybody.
Speaker 11: She would go, hey, you you yeah, that lion's lost.
Speaker 11: That's on you. That's on you.
Speaker 10: People said that she was knocking on car windows and
Speaker 10: then roll it down and she'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, that lost. That was on you, guys.
Speaker 3: That was on you.
Speaker 11: Guys, what are you talking about. I'm driving an uber
Speaker 11: and one guy goes, I'm from Israel. I don't know
Speaker 11: what you mean. She was like, oh, yeah, you know,
Speaker 11: it's on you. Somebody's gotta get blamed for that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 11: Need less say, she still made her six am flight.
Speaker 11: Man that she told me it took her whole all
Speaker 11: week to recovery. I bet now we'll take a break,
Speaker 11: we'll go and we'll talk about Sunday. We'll right back, dude,
Speaker 11: Sunday Morning. Escape game, Nashville, Dude.
Speaker 3: Never done it.
Speaker 11: Convenient right next to broad right next to Broadway, right
Speaker 11: off Broadway, right downtown. You get locked in a room,
Speaker 11: you got to figure out these clues to get these
Speaker 11: keys to get out of there, to get to another room,
Speaker 11: to another room, and then you're finally escape. You have
Speaker 11: one hour to do it, and we did school yard pick,
Speaker 11: and of course I'm taking Carl from West Point first,
Speaker 11: no problem.
Speaker 3: Took his wife, Yeah, you took his wife.
Speaker 11: You took Becky and she's been in bed all weeks sick,
Speaker 11: so there must have been something going on in your
Speaker 11: room that everybody was sick. And then I pretty much
Speaker 11: drafted everybody that was on my ax blowing team. I
Speaker 11: wanted him back. I wanted redemption because I knew I
Speaker 11: had a smart team. I knew I had a good team.
Speaker 11: And dude, that was the most fun. I loved the
Speaker 11: escape room.
Speaker 2: Guys. People have said it Vegas.
Speaker 10: You gotta do flamingos and fountains, not just slots and
Speaker 10: fun or slots and what's an F?
Speaker 2: What's an F?
Speaker 10: And mountains, pol Gamma ferries. Yes, that you got it
Speaker 10: in Ferris Wheels. Do something else, and that's what escape
Speaker 10: game is. It's not all drinking on Broadway. Do that, dude,
Speaker 10: We got our minds working. The most I've laughed might
Speaker 10: be an escape game hilarious because everybody's.
Speaker 2: Making fun of everybody.
Speaker 10: At one point. Dude, I did the math wrong. You know, guys,
Speaker 10: I'm known as a mathematician on the show. And the
Speaker 10: lady comes over the interness common she goes, if you
Speaker 10: need a hint, do the math again, I would did
Speaker 10: five and seven is.
Speaker 2: Twelve, and it was like five and six is thirteen.
Speaker 2: So did their bathroong.
Speaker 3: That's pretty impressive. Yeah.
Speaker 10: So it was stuff like that, and you got Joe
Speaker 10: at one point there was a thing. I don't want
Speaker 10: to ruin it, but he was ball sacking. He had
Speaker 10: to reach up and it was at the exact same
Speaker 10: time simultaneously I had to reach down. So if you
Speaker 10: do it properly, somebody's gonna be on all fours and
Speaker 10: the other person's gonna.
Speaker 2: Be their legs are over your head. And I mean
Speaker 2: it looked like me and him were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it did look like that. It was pretty weird.
Speaker 2: But I said, Joe, you want to get the next
Speaker 2: room or not tea bag me?
Speaker 11: Yeah, we we I mean it was just so funny
Speaker 11: when you think you discover something, Oh I got it.
Speaker 11: I got it, and then did work under mind. You
Speaker 11: get so excited and let down. Then I'm so excited
Speaker 11: and laughing. And I mean we were my team got
Speaker 11: locked in two separate cells, so we only had three
Speaker 11: people in each room.
Speaker 3: We were in two separate rooms and we.
Speaker 11: Had to communicate through the walls, and it was so
Speaker 11: freaking fun.
Speaker 10: West point his wife. She was great plugging in those
Speaker 10: numbers and everything like that. I kind of floated. I
Speaker 10: would do a lot of the math type stuff day ones,
Speaker 10: up and down, dude. At one point she was on
Speaker 10: all fours, ones on all four Ryan, dude.
Speaker 2: I was on my back. At another point, another person
Speaker 2: on all fours. It was one of those where you
Speaker 2: had to be low, up, down. It didn't matter what
Speaker 2: you were doing in there. How do you escape? Hence
Speaker 2: the name, Yeah, escape game.
Speaker 3: It's not about looking good in there.
Speaker 11: And we talked about this, How funny is it the
Speaker 11: people that work there just watching us run around like
Speaker 11: a bunch of idiots, running from spot to spot thinking
Speaker 11: we got something, Oh no, that doesn't work, oh trying this,
Speaker 11: and we they have to laugh their ass off.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and our biggest fault guys take note of this.
Speaker 10: We tried to do six things at once, jump and
Speaker 10: accomplish one task because we's family. Instead, you had the
Speaker 10: kid doing the dishes, the dad cutting firewood, the mom
Speaker 10: quilting the other son, reading a comic book, work as
Speaker 10: a family, and do one task at a time, which
Speaker 10: is what we should have done.
Speaker 2: It was our biggest fault. You guys killed us.
Speaker 10: When I told you we were supposed to get three clues,
Speaker 10: we knew we'd already lost. We got five clues, we
Speaker 10: got another five, we got we got no less than
Speaker 10: fifteen clues, and so I guess we finished, and they
Speaker 10: added five minutes to our time. Bro that we didn't
Speaker 10: even come damn close to beating you guys.
Speaker 11: We we needed one clue to escape. We needed one clue.
Speaker 11: We were down to four minutes on the clock when
Speaker 11: we got our one clue. Tell me right now, dam
Speaker 11: it is West Point?
Speaker 3: Is he mensa?
Speaker 12: He's mensas.
Speaker 13: Anybody who has followed me for a long time is
Speaker 13: going to be like, this is a no brainer episode.
Speaker 13: I'm so excited because this week I am joined by
Speaker 13: Catherine Hurley, who is one of the founders of Wags
Speaker 13: and Walks, which is a huge rescue organization for animals,
Speaker 13: and I'm just so excited to have this conversation Catherine,
Speaker 13: and thank you for joining me.
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 14: I'm great, I'm so excited to be here. Thank you
Speaker 14: for having us and highlighting our work.
Speaker 13: Turning to that really big crisis that we're in right now, Yeah,
Speaker 13: I've seen it. I mean I'm on so many different
Speaker 13: Facebook pages. It's all over my feeds of just the
Speaker 13: abandonment that's happening, the breeder crisis, the lack of resources, everything,
Speaker 13: what is going on right now, like this huge crisis
Speaker 13: that is happening, and what are some things that people,
Speaker 13: just a normal person like me can do to help.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's certainly overwhelmeding. You know, I've been doing this
Speaker 14: since I got out of college, so like twelve years,
Speaker 14: and there was a really short window before COVID where
Speaker 14: like we saw some numbers improving and COVID just took
Speaker 14: us back the are. You know, there are so many
Speaker 14: different factors on the why behind it. You know, I
Speaker 14: think a lot of it is like people are struggling financially,
Speaker 14: so you have a whole sect of people that like
Speaker 14: probably would keep their dogs, but feel like their back
Speaker 14: is against the wall. And then because there's like a
Speaker 14: lack of resources to meet them, that's where you see abandonment,
Speaker 14: dogs being dumped. I mean, just the amount of dogs
Speaker 14: are like literally like left in apartments because people are
Speaker 14: like I'm moving the amount of emails I get and
Speaker 14: it's hard, right to balance empathy for people because you
Speaker 14: have to have it, Because you don't, you will be
Speaker 14: jaded and at the end of the day, like we
Speaker 14: have to work together to get through the problems. But
Speaker 14: then on the other hand, you get some of these
Speaker 14: emails or you see these scenarios and you're like how
Speaker 14: how like how is this? What the decision that you made,
Speaker 14: like to literally lock the door leave and like your
Speaker 14: dog is still inside and who did you think was
Speaker 14: going to help you? And that's not even going into
Speaker 14: the realm of abuse and the horrible scenarios that can
Speaker 14: also be the case of it. So as a rescue,
Speaker 14: it's like you've got this reason and this reason and
Speaker 14: this and so it's like, okay, well what can we do?
Speaker 14: You know, So going into shelters, it's and again you
Speaker 14: it's hard because you want to balance the ge like
Speaker 14: I said earlier the Sarah maclachlin commercial and not trying
Speaker 14: to be that but also trying to be very honest
Speaker 14: of what's going on. Is like I go into shelters
Speaker 14: every single week and I see dogs marked upon their kennels,
Speaker 14: and I'm like, you're dying today. And it does not
Speaker 14: matter how many dogs that we can try and save
Speaker 14: every single week, there's the next day there's going to
Speaker 14: be dogs that have to be euthanized. And there's a
Speaker 14: massive misconception surrounding shelters and high kill shelters and always
Speaker 14: that to kill shelter. And when you have a shelter
Speaker 14: that is one hundred and fifty kennels and one hundred
Speaker 14: and ninety dogs come in good, what do you think
Speaker 14: is going to happen?
Speaker 15: You know?
Speaker 14: So I try to tell people like it's it's at
Speaker 14: the end of the day, it's a community problem. And
Speaker 14: you cannot blame shelter workers who do what you and
Speaker 14: I can't even do, Like I couldn't show up to
Speaker 14: work every day and take care of dogs that are
Speaker 14: there for whatever rhyme or reason and then euthanize them
Speaker 14: because no one wants them. Like that is a gut
Speaker 14: wrenching pill to have to swallow and then go up
Speaker 14: and do it the next day. So I'm like, I'm
Speaker 14: so thankful to people that work in shelters because at
Speaker 14: least being on the rescue side, we lose dogs. I
Speaker 14: have to see really sad things. I have to be
Speaker 14: a part of really sad things. But I still get
Speaker 14: to go. I'm helping. I'm making a difference. They of
Speaker 14: course are as well. But when then you're having to
Speaker 14: be the one that is the last person to see
Speaker 14: a healthy dog get put to sleep, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 14: It's hard to envision, you know, a more heart wrenching job.
Speaker 14: So they're a very real crisis going on that like,
Speaker 14: and it's not just the old dogs. It's not dogs
Speaker 14: of behavior problems. We have taken in so many puppies
Speaker 14: this year that they're like no one wants them. It's
Speaker 14: a litter of black puppies, Like they're gonna get euthanized.
Speaker 14: Can you take them today? And I think people think
Speaker 14: that's like clickbait or like fake information, And it is
Speaker 14: not in LA. In the South, uh, you know, Tennessee's horrible.
Speaker 14: Texas is horrible. It's everywhere, and it's it's brutal. You know,
Speaker 14: we've seen domestic violence went up in COVID, so did
Speaker 14: animal abuse, hoarding. You know, you have people struggling financially,
Speaker 14: mental health, all of it. I mean we went to
Speaker 14: so many hoarding cases this here properties where I'm like
Speaker 14: there's literally just dead dogs just on the ground, and
Speaker 14: you disassociate in the moment, but I mean, like that's
Speaker 14: something that like that stays with you as a person,
Speaker 14: And so I say to my husband all the time, like,
Speaker 14: but if they had to go through it and we
Speaker 14: had to see it, it is my job to make
Speaker 14: sure people hear it, because I think then if you don't,
Speaker 14: it's very easy to justify buying your dog or breeding
Speaker 14: your dog, or you know, it's like if it's a
Speaker 14: supply and demand and you're somebody that's choosing to financially
Speaker 14: benefit off of the breeding of animals knowing there's an
Speaker 14: overpopulation issue, I think that at that point it becomes
Speaker 14: a morality question. How you sit on that side of
Speaker 14: it or how you value it is I guess, very
Speaker 14: personal decision, but certainly from where I'm sitting, I'm like,
Speaker 14: I don't know how someone does that and can go
Speaker 14: to bad feeling good about themselves.
Speaker 13: You know, I often tell people when especially like the
Speaker 13: conversation of abandonment comes up, it's it's obviously a thing
Speaker 13: that is a very controversial to say you know, there's
Speaker 13: not a lot of excuses that I believe in to
Speaker 13: abandon your animal. There's really not to me, and I
Speaker 13: know that's a really strong opinion. And I also am
Speaker 13: somebody who is a I am an empathy, like huge empathy.
Speaker 13: My heart is as big as it can possibly get.
Speaker 13: But there are so many ways to go about that,
Speaker 13: and there are so many ways to do something than
Speaker 13: abandoning or knowing that when you're surrendering your animal to
Speaker 13: a shelter it is going to die. And one of
Speaker 13: my strongest things that I say that often makes people,
Speaker 13: you know, stop kind of in their tracks, is you
Speaker 13: won't want to abandon your animal or surrender them or
Speaker 13: get a breeder dog if you have watched an animal
Speaker 13: happy getting out of their shelter, walking thinking they're about
Speaker 13: to have the best day ever, and they're walking into
Speaker 13: a room and they don't come out.
Speaker 15: Hey, it's Mike d and this week I'll movie Mike's
Speaker 15: Movie podcast. I shared my top ten most anticipated movies
Speaker 15: of twenty twenty five, the ones that even if I
Speaker 15: didn't have this podcast where I review movies every single week,
Speaker 15: I would still go pay money to watch these in
Speaker 15: theaters because they look awesome. So I'll share you I
Speaker 15: top two right now, but be sure to listen to
Speaker 15: my full episode to hear my entire list, because there's
Speaker 15: a lot of great stuff coming out this year, but
Speaker 15: right now, here's just a little bit of movie Mike's
Speaker 15: Movie podcast at number two. Even more so than the
Speaker 15: Fantastic four movie, is the other Marvel movie coming out
Speaker 15: this year that I'm excited for. Captain America Brave New World,
Speaker 15: coming out on Valentine's Day, February fourteenth. This one's right
Speaker 15: around the corner. We have our new Captain America Anthony Mackie,
Speaker 15: which if you miss the Disney Plus show, which I
Speaker 15: feel they kind of wasted it there. You learn so
Speaker 15: much about his character in that show, but I feel
Speaker 15: like not a whole lot of people watch that show,
Speaker 15: so hopefully they don't base a whole lot of this
Speaker 15: plot on that show, which I think that's something Disney
Speaker 15: is trying to get away from of not making the
Speaker 15: movies connect with the TV shows. I think those should
Speaker 15: be completely separate. And I know Kevin Figy has always
Speaker 15: just kind of drilled that mentality of thinking about the
Speaker 15: bigger picture, making things inner lock I think and hope
Speaker 15: that he learned that we don't really want the TV
Speaker 15: shows to connect with the movies.
Speaker 2: I think we should kept us separate.
Speaker 15: I really think the Disney Plus shows should be entire
Speaker 15: side quest and not involved with the main MCU storyline.
Speaker 15: Do it with some side characters, do more animated shows,
Speaker 15: do more things like X Men ninety seven. They give
Speaker 15: us a reason to go to Disney Plus, but not
Speaker 15: a reason to have to go see things in theaters
Speaker 15: and go back to you. So hopefully by making that show,
Speaker 15: it didn't take away from the impact of Sam Wilson
Speaker 15: taking over for Steve Rodgers, which is huge, and I
Speaker 15: really feel like that reveal on the big screen would
Speaker 15: have been more impactful because now we've already seen it
Speaker 15: on Disney Plus, so there's not going to be that
Speaker 15: big off factor because we kind of have already seen it.
Speaker 15: We've kind of wasted that already. I get why they
Speaker 15: wanted to make that show, but if you think of
Speaker 15: how Endgame finish with those two characters, if that was
Speaker 15: the last thing we saw with Chris Evans giving him
Speaker 15: the shield and then moving on to this movie, which
Speaker 15: I guess would have been hard to do because that
Speaker 15: movie came out like five years ago. At this point,
Speaker 15: I think over that now, it would have been a
Speaker 15: long time to wait. But still the trailer does give
Speaker 15: me some chills moments where he says, I'm not Steve Rogers.
Speaker 15: I feel like it's really gonna be Sam coming into
Speaker 15: his zone, taking over this role, taking on Harrison Ford,
Speaker 15: who's gonna go from being President Thunderbolt Ross into the
Speaker 15: Red Hulk.
Speaker 3: But the action looks.
Speaker 15: Up to par with those early Captain America movies, which
Speaker 15: I think out of any movie in the MCU, it
Speaker 15: had the best fight scenes first one Captain America Civil War.
Speaker 15: That is what I feel was the krem de la
Speaker 15: creme of the MCU, the fight scenes and the Captain
Speaker 15: American movies. But can you do that without Chris Evans
Speaker 15: at the Helm. But I'm so excited for this movie.
Speaker 15: It's coming out soon. I'm not really that interested of
Speaker 15: how it's going to play into the timeline. I don't
Speaker 15: care what this movie sets up. I really don't care
Speaker 15: about what all these things are building to. At this point,
Speaker 15: I just want individual good movies, even if the Avengers
Speaker 15: movies are completely separate from the plot line. I don't
Speaker 15: really care at this point, I just want to have
Speaker 15: fun and feel excitement when going to Marvel movies now.
Speaker 15: But at number two, I have Captain America Brave New
Speaker 15: World coming out soon on February fourteenth. At number one,
Speaker 15: I have Superman coming out on July eleventh. This is
Speaker 15: the new launch, at least on the film side. Of
Speaker 15: James Gunn taking over for DC. He is going to
Speaker 15: be the new person, much like Kevin Figy is for Marvel,
Speaker 15: who is the president of Marvel and is responsible for
Speaker 15: keeping everything cohesive and for having things connect and building
Speaker 15: a big rand. He is the person now who is
Speaker 15: gonna direct movies like Superman, but also make sure that
Speaker 15: every film that they put out is in line with values,
Speaker 15: has continuity, feels like the same from one movie to another,
Speaker 15: which is something that the EMCU did really well. They
Speaker 15: had a whole system in place that no matter what
Speaker 15: director was directing each particular movie, they all felt the
Speaker 15: same way. You have cameos from one to another and
Speaker 15: it's all the same actors, all the same people. He
Speaker 15: is going to be that now for DC. Just the
Speaker 15: trailer came out, I think I've thought about this movie
Speaker 15: every single day, and the movie just feels so warm
Speaker 15: and inviting and fresh that every shot just on its
Speaker 15: own looks like a page out of a comic book.
Speaker 15: It's so perfectly framed. And I feel like this is
Speaker 15: really going to dive into what makes Superman such a
Speaker 15: great character, the og superhero, the most famous superhero, and
Speaker 15: really give us that best version of him since Christopher
Speaker 15: Reeves back in the day introducing the character on the
Speaker 15: big screen. I also love that James Gunn is so
Speaker 15: heavily invested in stories from comics with the Superman character,
Speaker 15: that is going to bring.
Speaker 12: A lot of that to life.
Speaker 15: And overall all the characters just look really fun and
Speaker 15: vibrant and cosmic at times where they need to be.
Speaker 15: And I just feel like this is gonna be one
Speaker 15: of those movies that, once it starts from one second
Speaker 15: up there when you see that DC logo, to the
Speaker 15: very end, it's gonna feel like a perfect movie. And
Speaker 15: it's the one I'm just the most excited to be
Speaker 15: in the theater to watch because I think it's gonna
Speaker 15: be one of those core movie memories for me, and
Speaker 15: I've had maybe three of those since twenty nineteen, probably
Speaker 15: since Endgame, I would say that have really popped, and
Speaker 15: I just remember that moment of watching them for the
Speaker 15: first time. I think that is going to be inside
Speaker 15: a Superman And that's why I put it at number one,
Speaker 15: because as much as I can't wait to see the
Speaker 15: new characterin American movie, I don't think that or anything
Speaker 15: below it is gonna have one of those memories. So
Speaker 15: I think this is the one I'm the most excited
Speaker 15: to see because I think it could be one of
Speaker 15: my next favorite superhero movies. And I feel that, and
Speaker 15: I think also it is one that's gonna have to
Speaker 15: win me over a little bit because I wouldn't even
Speaker 15: put Superman in my top five superheroes of all time.
Speaker 15: So I think it's gonna be having my first iteration
Speaker 15: that I could fully be in love with Superman. Oh
Speaker 15: as much passion as it is, there is Superman gonna
Speaker 15: win my heart. Am how good to fall in love
Speaker 15: for those blue eyes and slick back hair and red
Speaker 15: trunks could be? So maybe that's why I'm so excited
Speaker 15: about this is I'm ready to hook up with Superman
Speaker 15: to be in love with them.
Speaker 11: Cary Line, she's a queen and talking, so.
Speaker 3: She's getting really not afraid to feel as episo and
Speaker 3: soul just let it flow.
Speaker 15: No one can do we quiet like cary Line, it's
Speaker 15: sound of care Line.
Speaker 5: Are you a pretty faithful person?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 16: Do you have a lot of faith that absolutely God
Speaker 16: and that it's all gonna align?
Speaker 17: I can't not. Like there's just been too many things
Speaker 17: in life for me too, Like too many instances where I'm.
Speaker 16: Like, thank you God, I see you like I see
Speaker 16: you in this What any in particular that you can
Speaker 16: come to mind? Because I feel the same way when
Speaker 16: I look back on my life, I'm like, it.
Speaker 5: All is God every day.
Speaker 17: Like there's it's not even really specific instances I can
Speaker 17: point out, but I just think it's Again, it goes
Speaker 17: back to that, like when I think of trusting your
Speaker 17: good I truly think that's trusting God.
Speaker 5: For me.
Speaker 17: That is my guiding lights. And I feel like every
Speaker 17: time that I have, you know, trusted, I try to
Speaker 17: trust all the time. It's hard. You got to have
Speaker 17: a lot of patience and you question it a lot
Speaker 17: of times obviously.
Speaker 16: Like sometimes there's like waiting periods. Yeah, especially when you're
Speaker 16: creative like yourself, Like sometimes there's like long waiting periods
Speaker 16: You're like, God, what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I supposed to be doing.
Speaker 17: I've never I'll put it this way, I've never had
Speaker 17: something removed from my life that I wasn't grateful for
Speaker 17: in the long run, or you know, vice versa. So
Speaker 17: I just feel like there's a sense of faith there was.
Speaker 17: I grew up in faith, but it's just it's one
Speaker 17: of those things as an adult. It's just been shown
Speaker 17: to me, like I just see it in everyday instances
Speaker 17: and short term and long term to not have faith
Speaker 17: that God's God my life.
Speaker 5: So do you think it keeps on doing that?
Speaker 16: It kind of takes their pressure off though, because it does.
Speaker 16: How does God feel to you? Because I finally have
Speaker 16: I can feel it in my I feel it in
Speaker 16: my stomach.
Speaker 2: God is love. God is love.
Speaker 16: But when I'm on track, it's like I feel very calm,
Speaker 16: I feel aligned, I.
Speaker 5: Feel s it's a piece.
Speaker 16: He's almost When I'm not, I can feel out of
Speaker 16: balance like that, feel like I'm not do i can
Speaker 16: feel like I'm not on the right right course.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's almost like just fighting your natural instincts, the
Speaker 17: sense or like a sense of being on edge or uneasiness.
Speaker 17: And that's just I mean that can come with anything
Speaker 17: and anxiety in general, which I do struggle a lot
Speaker 17: with and we all have our bouts of or moments,
Speaker 17: but I don't know, it's just like a faith that
Speaker 17: is steady and true all the time. And again, like
Speaker 17: I said, there's never been anything that I feel like
Speaker 17: didn't work for my favor in the long run and
Speaker 17: in God's eyes, you know, like for my life specifically,
Speaker 17: I feel like everything that has happened in my life
Speaker 17: has led me exactly where I need to be good
Speaker 17: or bad, like not even not making top four on
Speaker 17: the Voice, Like I could have easily seen that as
Speaker 17: like a I suck moment or like you know, I'm
Speaker 17: not meant to do this, But I just I see
Speaker 17: so many paths and opportunities waiting to be taken if
Speaker 17: you just like listen and pray about it, if you're
Speaker 17: you know, if you're a person of faith.
Speaker 5: So how do you feel God speaking to you? Like,
Speaker 5: how do you know when God's telling you which way
Speaker 5: to go?
Speaker 17: I think it's like you said, like that sense of peace,
Speaker 17: And it's not always it's not I mean, it's not
Speaker 17: always like a voice saying this or that, or you
Speaker 17: hear a voice. I mean, I think when I hear
Speaker 17: the voice, it's.
Speaker 16: It's my own, it's through God, like God speaking through
Speaker 16: your thoughts.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I would say so.
Speaker 17: I think it's more of just like you, you just
Speaker 17: kind of feel which way you're being pulled, which direction
Speaker 17: you're being pulled in. So yeah, there's never like a
Speaker 17: surefire answer I feel like for how you feel God,
Speaker 17: because I feel like everybody feels God in a different way,
Speaker 17: you know, But for me that is it's the sense
Speaker 17: of peace I get in the middle of all the
Speaker 17: angst and anxiety and what gives you anxiety, struggle, oh,
Speaker 17: everything in life, cirl life in general. I think I'm
Speaker 17: just an anxious person. I feel things really heavily and
Speaker 17: really deeply, and I want to see people happy. I
Speaker 17: want to I want to be happy. So yeah, I
Speaker 17: don't know. I think just feeling things super deep like it.
Speaker 17: It creates some emotional challenges, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 17: I wouldn't have it any other way because I think
Speaker 17: that's what makes musicians and creatives like great at what
Speaker 17: they do is feeling things to the core.
Speaker 16: What when you think about your music, like, what is
Speaker 16: music to you? Like when you're writing and singing, like
Speaker 16: what is happening in you?
Speaker 2: Like, what are you?
Speaker 5: What is coming through you when you're putting.
Speaker 2: It out there?
Speaker 5: How do you feel about it?
Speaker 16: If you're going to describe it in three were or
Speaker 16: not even three if you're just gonna describe the experience
Speaker 16: for you, and like, what's happening when you're making music
Speaker 16: and singing?
Speaker 6: What are you?
Speaker 5: What's happening? What's the experience?
Speaker 17: Well, with making music, I think with writing, I'm still
Speaker 17: so new to it. I consider myself new to it,
Speaker 17: like I've been doing it for six years officially, I guess,
Speaker 17: but I think it's just like I hate to keep
Speaker 17: relating back to the closed thing. But it's like everybody
Speaker 17: has their own way of writing, and you know how
Speaker 17: you would or wouldn't say things in real life, and
Speaker 17: so when you go in a room to write, it's
Speaker 17: like you know the feelings you want to convey, you know,
Speaker 17: like semi the message you want to convey. And I
Speaker 17: think when you're writing, it's just kind of like saying
Speaker 17: stuff until it feels right, until it fits the moment.
Speaker 17: So I wish it was like this next level experience
Speaker 17: for me, but it's literally like doing homework when I'm writing,
Speaker 17: but when I'm singing, like I it just feels so
Speaker 17: I feel more like a normal person and a human
Speaker 17: being being on stage and singing than I do in
Speaker 17: like everyday life. There's just such a natural comfortability that
Speaker 17: comes for me when being on stage that doesn't happen
Speaker 17: for me.
Speaker 16: Now that's wild, because that's a big it's scary to
Speaker 16: be on stage, it.
Speaker 17: Is, but it's like the one place where I guess
Speaker 17: I've always felt like fully accepted, maybe is what it is.
Speaker 17: And so in everyday life, you're just kind of floating around,
Speaker 17: like meeting new people and new experiences and new things,
Speaker 17: and there's such an uncertainty. So it's just it's so
Speaker 17: funny to me that the most I feel myself is
Speaker 17: when I'm in front.
Speaker 5: Of a bunch of people.
Speaker 17: That's amazing, But I think it's just for the sake
Speaker 17: of knowing that I'm there to connect with people and
Speaker 17: hopefully find a moment between me and somebody else that
Speaker 17: will allow us to continue to be each other's support.
Speaker 17: And like I don't know what to call it, like therapy.
Speaker 17: I guess I love that that's about all. We're all
Speaker 17: in this together. Yeah, we all got stuff we're struggling
Speaker 17: with every day, and my goal was, like, if I
Speaker 17: can at least make you forget about it for the
Speaker 17: time being, make you dance or make you sit in
Speaker 17: the feeling for a second, make you really feel it,
Speaker 17: to know that it's okay to feel that like, no
Speaker 17: matter what the feeling is, I just want to as
Speaker 17: long as it connects, that's all I care about.
