Speaker 1: Best Bits of the week with Morgan Listener Q and A.
Speaker 1: Here we are listener Q and A time. Amy is
Speaker 1: still with me, she hasn't left yet, but we got
Speaker 1: some shout outs to start with you ready for these?
Speaker 1: These make you feel good shout out from Karen Unmedicated.
Speaker 1: Amy is so funny and I love her defending lunch.
Speaker 2: Oh thanks.
Speaker 1: We got Emily who says she loves what you bring
Speaker 1: to the show and you're a genuine Jim, genuine Jim Jim.
Speaker 2: That genuine, genuine Jim.
Speaker 1: Thank you. And then Amy Lynne said, great job with
Speaker 1: these weekend podcasts. They're getting better and better. And she
Speaker 1: had a fun question for you that I'm leaving at
Speaker 1: the very end of this because I also kind of
Speaker 1: want to know. And then Jennifer said, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: ladies being honest with your life journeys, struggles and strengths.
Speaker 2: So oh well, those make you.
Speaker 3: Feel good to start, Yeah, especially the Unmedicated one, because
Speaker 3: I have felt a little bit. Actually I felt nervous,
Speaker 3: but I really honestly have felt good. But then I
Speaker 3: wonder if my version of good is okay.
Speaker 1: Well, if it's your if you feel good and it's
Speaker 1: your version then you keep probing with it.
Speaker 3: I know, I just don't know it's translating because you know,
Speaker 3: like right now you can't see, but I shake a
Speaker 3: lot more when I'm not on my you know, ADHD
Speaker 3: stuff Like I'm constantly like shaking or twitching or.
Speaker 1: Well, hey, this is why you need one of the
Speaker 1: fidget rings. You can start playing with them and that'll help.
Speaker 1: It's okay, you're doing great and I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: We got starting off Julie in North Carolina celebrity interview
Speaker 1: where we've maybe blacked out from nerves or starstruck.
Speaker 3: I've never blacked out from nerves at all. When I
Speaker 3: saw Reese Witherspoon one time backstage at the CMA's or something, I.
Speaker 1: Regret just because you were kind of geeking out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely was like, hi, like I've I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not even bear. I don't know. Maybe I was
Speaker 2: a little embarrassed, like.
Speaker 3: If I were to be able to watch me doing that,
Speaker 3: you know, like hovering above just to see, I'd probably
Speaker 3: be embarrassed for myself.
Speaker 2: But also in the moment, it's like, well whatever, when.
Speaker 3: When Doy you don't always get to see Reeze Witherspoon
Speaker 3: coming out of a door right when you're walking by.
Speaker 3: And it was backstage, very intimate. Its like there was
Speaker 3: tons of people and then out opens this door and
Speaker 3: then out walks Witherspoon. You're like you have to say hi,
Speaker 3: and that you're like a big fan.
Speaker 2: So I did that.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't regret it, but I mean I
Speaker 3: didn't pass out, but I think I overreacted.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Geeking out, I think is better than the other,
Speaker 1: which is like you go totally crazy or you just
Speaker 1: like freeze up. Yeah, you know, so at least it's
Speaker 1: still genuine. I had that kind of similar moment with
Speaker 1: Lance Bass at Iheartfest.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: I gotta meet him, and I think what came out
Speaker 1: of my mouth was I love everything you guys have done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's not a horrible thing to say, but it
Speaker 1: just wasn't It wasn't very poised. It was just kind
Speaker 1: of like word vomit. So I do feel that that
Speaker 1: was Lance Bass. But the one where I had major,
Speaker 1: major nerves. The first big interview I ever did was
Speaker 1: with Garth Brooks and it was in Wichita. I got
Speaker 1: sent to his press conference. He was doing like six
Speaker 1: shows in Wichita, and this was the first major major
Speaker 1: star and I wasn't planning on talking to him doing anything.
Speaker 1: I was just there for the press conference for social
Speaker 1: media and he looks at me, he goes, are you
Speaker 1: gonna ask me any questions? And I was like, ah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So I just like pulled my boots on and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, here we go. And I interviewed Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1: But I was so nervous because it was Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: and I wasn't at all prepared. I didn't have anything.
Speaker 1: Like he just was willing to talk to every single outlet.
Speaker 2: And I was like, tell you is yeah, Okay, here
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 1: And I was new. I was so green. I had
Speaker 1: no idea what was happening. So that one was crazy.
Speaker 1: I think after I have no idea what I said,
Speaker 1: no idea, and he just like kind of walked with
Speaker 1: me through it like a dad and a daughter.
Speaker 3: Also, it was probably a good person to get for
Speaker 3: the first time because he will walk you through it,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's so good at it. Danielle in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: not Daniella. Daniel in Kent. He wants to know your
Speaker 1: top five traits you're looking for and a guy.
Speaker 2: Oh funny.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind I haven't prepared o.
Speaker 2: But like I mean.
Speaker 3: Breezy, like you know, I don't think, sorry, let me
Speaker 3: think like gray, like living in the gray, like able
Speaker 3: to bend not you know, like.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Okay, you but.
Speaker 3: Easy going it's different than easy going. I guess it's
Speaker 3: easy going, but I don't want you to just be like,
Speaker 3: go with the flow all the time. It's more like
Speaker 3: I want you to have firmstances, but also if things
Speaker 3: need to pivot or change, it's not so difficult. And
Speaker 3: then Bendy's a great word, and it's like you can evolve.
Speaker 3: So it's it's it's easygoing sort of fits. But I
Speaker 3: feel like it's different than that too. That's fair, But
Speaker 3: I probably should have said easygoing over bendy.
Speaker 1: No, I like bendy. We'll stick with it. It just.
Speaker 2: Like not so black and white.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, more gray, Okay, we like it.
Speaker 3: Funny that likes the outdoors, likes kids.
Speaker 2: Uh, but I don't know. I here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know that I want kids more younger than
Speaker 3: I have okay, because one of my friends is like, Amy,
Speaker 3: why are you not going to go out with them?
Speaker 3: I was like, here's three young kids or four? Four
Speaker 3: young kids? I think, because yeah, you have two young kids.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, but they're fourteen, almost fourteen, and
Speaker 2: almost seventeen.
Speaker 1: That's very different.
Speaker 2: Than like, you know, four year old, eight year old
Speaker 2: and nine year old. I don't know that.
Speaker 3: I'm so maybe more somebody with teens like that. What
Speaker 3: else I think there's I mean, obviously the you know,
Speaker 3: I feel like these are givens, like you should say
Speaker 3: that you feel like you can trust them, that there's
Speaker 3: open communication. Maybe we have farveists for past five okay, well,
Speaker 3: but these are some of the obvious you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: so what are but what are?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: I'm just sharing what everyone should expect for themselves as
Speaker 3: someone that is a good communion career and you can
Speaker 3: trust yes and take that take.
Speaker 1: Away the obvious ones, which I do that with Ben.
Speaker 2: By the way, like Ben and I have grown a lot.
Speaker 3: He's a lot more in the gray than he used
Speaker 3: to be, and I totally trust him and I think
Speaker 3: that's why we co parent well too.
Speaker 2: It's almost like.
Speaker 3: We've worked on a lot of the stuff that we
Speaker 3: needed to work on. So I'm like, well, probably I
Speaker 3: wonder if sometimes we could have just made it work.
Speaker 2: But do late now?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know people that get divorced and
Speaker 1: get back together. I don't know. Everything is by situations.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to fall apart to come back together. True,
Speaker 1: So if that's what's meant to happen, then this had
Speaker 1: to happen too, I know. So did I say?
Speaker 2: I'm all? I did because I have more?
Speaker 1: You said, no, Okay, take away all of the things
Speaker 1: that are normal and that like most people look for
Speaker 1: what are like five kind of unique.
Speaker 3: I feel like the bandy is whany you get the funny.
Speaker 2: Not everybody is looking for someone that's funny.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I really want more.
Speaker 3: Laughter in my life these days. I would really appreciate
Speaker 3: it if they were super handy, Like I like someone
Speaker 3: that knows how to fix something. My dad was very handy,
Speaker 3: So I don't know what's going on with that, but
Speaker 3: I find that really attractive. Like I dated a guy
Speaker 3: in college that could fix anything, and we were we
Speaker 3: were in our young twenties, you know, well, and he
Speaker 3: knew how to do all kinds of things, and I
Speaker 3: just was so attracted that and because my dad could
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: Even if they can't do it, they're willing to figure
Speaker 1: it out. That's also attractive. If they're like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: Ye. But they figure it out, and they actually figure
Speaker 3: it out. It's not like they're just trying to be
Speaker 3: stubborn and be like no, no, no oh, I don't need
Speaker 3: to hire anybody.
Speaker 2: I got this, and then it ends up a hot mess.
Speaker 1: No, it's like an attractive like, yeah, let me try
Speaker 1: and figure this out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: So Bindi and Handy.
Speaker 3: Yeah they're open to Yeah. Well we've talked about willing
Speaker 3: to evolve and grow and.
Speaker 1: Yes that's important.
Speaker 2: Therapy like that's and that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Common interest was like friends like doing they're downb for
Speaker 3: like group activities and having lots of fun with friends. Okay,
Speaker 3: that could also sound bad. Bindy and group activity, Daniel.
Speaker 1: I think we've also made Amy habs our like introspective character.
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, I do, I do know what you mean.
Speaker 1: I think those are great quality things. But I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for putting you on so made you think about it.
Speaker 1: We got Sierra in California. Who wants to know how
Speaker 1: you spend your time with when your kids are with
Speaker 1: their dad, Like.
Speaker 2: I try to get more work done.
Speaker 3: I also watched this when I watch a lot of
Speaker 3: my shows because when I have the kids, I don't
Speaker 3: I hike with friends because I don't in all hike.
Speaker 3: Like there's a certain place I like to hike where
Speaker 3: you can't take dogs on the trails. You can only
Speaker 3: take it on the road. And so when the kids
Speaker 3: are gone, the dog is also gone. Because the dog
Speaker 3: is every other part goes with them, right, So I
Speaker 3: get to hike up in the trails on my weeks off.
Speaker 1: Have you go into any of the waterfalls around here?
Speaker 3: No? But I love It's on my list. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: told me about some good ones to go to, and
Speaker 3: I have. I just keep going to the places that
Speaker 3: are easy.
Speaker 2: To get to.
Speaker 1: Well, it's also hard if you doing it on weekday,
Speaker 1: Like those are definitely a weekend activity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I probably should do that.
Speaker 3: Well, Like this Friday night on the kids and I've
Speaker 3: got like some girlfriends coming over to watch.
Speaker 2: That movie Parachute.
Speaker 1: I never heard of that one.
Speaker 3: It just came out recently, but it's about body image
Speaker 3: and two of the girls coming or therapists. I think
Speaker 3: they are just very interested in watching it. Brittany Snow,
Speaker 3: I think it produced it. It's loosely maybe based on
Speaker 3: some of her experiences with her eating disorder and body
Speaker 3: image stuff. But it's called parachute. So that's how we
Speaker 3: spending with time.
Speaker 2: I hope we get tay food.
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, Oh fun, are you on a
Speaker 1: Tai food kick right now? No?
Speaker 3: But I've eve been craving it and I'm hoping that
Speaker 3: when I throw it out there that everyone's be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: Tye food. But if not, I could just get it
Speaker 3: for myself.
Speaker 2: But when your order you can do that.
Speaker 1: It's easier to get.
Speaker 3: It from one place. Or maybe we'll just cook and
Speaker 3: make things. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I spend a lot of time with my cat Maggie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's so adorable. She is so pretty lame.
Speaker 1: No, that's not lame. I like all the things you're doing.
Speaker 1: You're in a very fun season and you're doing pine
Speaker 1: needles too.
Speaker 2: And now I'm gonna work on my part. So if
Speaker 2: you need.
Speaker 1: Help with that, lemon, know I've gotten really good. I've
Speaker 1: quite the green thub.
Speaker 2: Now, oh, I know like you've got it down, but I.
Speaker 1: Did not four years ago when I first started, I
Speaker 1: did not. I have no idea what I was doing.
Speaker 3: So I've got some trees that need to come up
Speaker 3: and then new ones need to go down. And I
Speaker 3: did have a lawn company quote me. And when I
Speaker 3: got the quote, I'm like, what, I feel like I
Speaker 3: could do.
Speaker 1: This, Like you got to pull them out and put
Speaker 1: new ones in?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How big you are the trees?
Speaker 2: I don't They're not huge? Are they about like bushes?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, we can do that.
Speaker 2: We can, are you sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I guess it depends on how deep the roots go.
Speaker 1: But you may have to take a picture. Let me
Speaker 1: see how.
Speaker 3: Actually I have a picture because I just send it
Speaker 3: to the our people. I'll send it to you.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I think we could. Okay, just let me
Speaker 1: know we can. We can figure it out. All right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Lindsay from Virginia and Kinsey from Vancouver both asked this,
Speaker 1: what is something we're looking forward to most this summer?
Speaker 1: And I can give you seconds to think if you
Speaker 1: need it too, because I have something just because I
Speaker 1: already saw.
Speaker 2: It might get my tonsils out.
Speaker 1: You're looking forward to that, No, but.
Speaker 3: I've had some issues with them for a while, and
Speaker 3: it's like I finally have the time that I might
Speaker 3: do it. Like I finally went into the year nose
Speaker 3: and throat doctor, and yeah, figured it out. So I
Speaker 3: think this might actually be the summer during some of
Speaker 3: our time off because I've had these throat issues for years.
Speaker 3: But because of our job, it's difficult to have that downtime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have read every time.
Speaker 2: And talking and lah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have a crazy story about tonsil surgery.
Speaker 1: My oldest sister woke up when she was getting her
Speaker 1: tonsils out hill and it was not So I have
Speaker 1: like trauma tonsil surgery because of the things she's told
Speaker 1: me that happened during it. But that was a really
Speaker 1: long time ago. Yeah, so I don't think medicine is
Speaker 1: where that was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it will be. I think it'll be good.
Speaker 3: I mean, and just like fun things. I mean, my
Speaker 3: daughter's me working a lot of summer camps. She's signed
Speaker 3: up for almost every single camp so much so I
Speaker 3: don't know when we're going to take a trip, Like
Speaker 3: if we do something because she wanted to work so much,
Speaker 3: which will be great, And I told her, like, you can,
Speaker 3: you don't have to work certain weeks, like and we
Speaker 3: can go do something. She's like, I want to try
Speaker 3: to work as much as I can this summer. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, So I don't want to take that
Speaker 3: from her.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think, oh, oh, I'll tell you, okay, tonsils. But also,
Speaker 3: my niece is going to come live with me for
Speaker 3: six weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh fun.
Speaker 1: She wants to explore Nashville.
Speaker 3: Or is yeah, she has to do an internship and
Speaker 3: so she's going to intern for me for six weeks.
Speaker 3: Like she goes to University of Colorado and so she
Speaker 3: lives in Boulder and or is it Colorido University? I
Speaker 3: think's University of Colorado, And I guess she's a business major.
Speaker 2: She's got to do an internship. I have a business
Speaker 2: I'll like it.
Speaker 3: She was so nervous to ask me to, Like she
Speaker 3: texts me this really long text like you can say no,
Speaker 3: it's fine, and I was like, what are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Like I would love to have you, Like she's gonna
Speaker 3: help with podcast stuff and some social thing and I'm
Speaker 3: introducing her to a couple of other friends in town
Speaker 3: that have like other types of businesses, not in you know, media,
Speaker 3: just so she can have different experiences and so if
Speaker 3: they want to use her for a little bit, because
Speaker 3: it's not like I'll have things for her all day,
Speaker 3: but she's going to live with me, and then you know,
Speaker 3: maybe one day she can go shadow them and see
Speaker 3: what's going on there and maybe offer feedback to them.
Speaker 3: Like I told her, I was like, you should really
Speaker 3: give your input as a young person, like how you
Speaker 3: think something should be done, or what you think could
Speaker 3: be good for companies at your age. Just exercising that
Speaker 3: part of her brain and speaking up. And I love
Speaker 3: that about her. I think she really will, so I'm
Speaker 3: excited to get her insight as a young person.
Speaker 1: Oh that'll be so fun.
Speaker 3: And I think it'll be fun for my kids to
Speaker 3: have their cousin living with them for you know, she
Speaker 3: just turned twenty one too, so that's really good. You
Speaker 3: can like go to Bartaco and go to Margarita.
Speaker 1: Ooh, which'll be weird, crazy but fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: H mine is my sister is getting married in July. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm really thrilled about that made of honor. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come with them made of honor speed. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a crazy time. And I have her bachelorette
Speaker 1: coming up. But Amy, I have five weddings this year,
Speaker 1: three of which I am in. Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: want to like kind of curl up in a ball.
Speaker 1: I'm loving it. I'm so excited for all the love
Speaker 1: and all my people getting married, and it's crazy. We
Speaker 1: are in crazy times right now. I'm having a twenty
Speaker 1: seven dresses moment.
Speaker 2: So that I mean, can you read can you wear
Speaker 2: the same dress to some of them? Or can you do? Well?
Speaker 3: How what are they being like with the dresses? Did
Speaker 3: they pick them out or do you get to pick
Speaker 3: it out yourself? It just has to be a certain color.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get to pick them out, so at least
Speaker 1: we get it, like decide what they are.
Speaker 3: I was on Rent the Runway the other day and
Speaker 3: they have bridesmaids dresses, so you can rent okay, and
Speaker 3: you look at that one based on color.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really exciting. It's just a lot happening. Like
Speaker 1: my whole year this year is all wait, anytime you
Speaker 1: see me away, I'm doing something related to the wedding,
Speaker 1: whether it's a bachel rep trip or wedding or bridal
Speaker 1: shower anything. So it's that kind of year, all right.
Speaker 1: What is one piece of advice you would give to
Speaker 1: someone who went through a divorce from Angela?
Speaker 3: I guess it just depends on if you have kids
Speaker 3: or not kids, because I think that that's the big
Speaker 3: thing or your circumstance. Like everything that's coming to my
Speaker 3: mind is so specific or coming to my mind is
Speaker 3: so specific to my relationship with Ben, who is someone
Speaker 3: that's been in my life since I was nine years old,
Speaker 3: and I am close to his parents, and so I'm
Speaker 3: doing things differently like.
Speaker 2: I been and I still talk.
Speaker 3: I still communicate with his parents regularly, like they'll always
Speaker 3: be my life. Because for some people, my advice might
Speaker 3: be cut it off all communication, there's no reason you
Speaker 3: don't need to talk. It depends on what the circumstances are,
Speaker 3: because that might absolutely be what my advice would be,
Speaker 3: cut it off and move on, or it might be
Speaker 3: what can you do to have a healthy relationship chip
Speaker 3: and communicate well, especially if there's kids involved and set boundaries.
Speaker 3: I guess that would be my advice. Not knowing your circumstance.
Speaker 3: Establish what your boundaries are early on and stick with them,
Speaker 3: but also be BINDI because boundaries may need to shift
Speaker 3: and change depending.
Speaker 2: On things that evolve. You know.
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, if the other person gets
Speaker 3: into a relationship, you know that might need to change
Speaker 3: because like Ben and I communicate a certain way. Well,
Speaker 3: if he gets married again, we probably will communicate less,
Speaker 3: just out of respect for other people.
Speaker 2: But also it's weird.
Speaker 3: Because you know, again I still I'm not going to
Speaker 3: never I'm just just going to cut off communication with
Speaker 3: his parents and well we'll still communicate obviously because of
Speaker 3: the kids. But you know, like I think there's certain
Speaker 3: things when Ben and I first got divorced that we would.
Speaker 2: Talk about and we would talk a lot more.
Speaker 3: But as time has gone by and he's dated and
Speaker 3: is dating, like that has to change out of respect
Speaker 3: for other people.
Speaker 2: So that was it.
Speaker 3: That's a boundary, right, So that's a boundary we didn't
Speaker 3: have in place before that now is a boundary that
Speaker 3: I will respect.
Speaker 1: I think that's great.
Speaker 3: My advice is be open to boundaries, have boundaries, but
Speaker 3: also know the boundaries need to shift. I love it
Speaker 3: because that sort of can apply to everybody.
Speaker 1: Great advice. I also have realized that bindi is the
Speaker 1: word for.
Speaker 2: Best bits this weekend. Bendy, We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: We've got two more questions, all right, you may not
Speaker 1: want to answer either one of these two, so you
Speaker 1: can plead the fifth on both of them, because I
Speaker 1: again have not prepared you. But Chelsea and Florida would
Speaker 1: like to know what you said to Lunchbox after he
Speaker 1: went outside during the whole post show ballad situation. Wait
Speaker 1: what when you followed after Lunchbox during the post show
Speaker 1: with all the palette situation that happened. Yeah, she wants
Speaker 1: to know, Like, how'd you calm him down? What happened
Speaker 1: in the hall? Oh?
Speaker 3: I mean I just had to like get I was
Speaker 3: like Lunchboks stop, like this is I don't know. There's
Speaker 3: certain things I can't say because it's not my story, right,
Speaker 3: but I'll just say that I encouraged him.
Speaker 2: I reminded him this isn't really about this.
Speaker 3: So you need to take some deep breaths and you
Speaker 3: need to pull it together because this is unacceptable. Like
Speaker 3: a lot of people were doing things that were unacceptable, right,
Speaker 3: But I mean I was out he knew he shouldn't
Speaker 3: be yelling and he was worked up, so I was
Speaker 3: just trying to remind him this is not the place
Speaker 3: or the time and there's things to process, yes, but
Speaker 3: not here now in this way.
Speaker 1: Well there you go. I'm not gonna push it anymore
Speaker 1: because I don't want you to say anything you don't
Speaker 1: want to say, so thank you for sharing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was a lot of like me talking
Speaker 3: like this, lunchbox, lunchbox, did you have your mom voice?
Speaker 2: Yes, lunchbox, listen to me.
Speaker 3: Breathe, Let's just breathe, let's just breathe. I did a
Speaker 3: lot of this, like we can breathe right now. Do
Speaker 3: you want to breathe?
Speaker 1: Mom? Maybe coming in Okay, So Amylan the one who
Speaker 1: gave the compliment earlier. She's actually in Saudi Arabia, which
Speaker 1: is so awesome that she's listening out there. But she
Speaker 1: wants to know the reason. We're gonna fat, We're gonna
Speaker 1: We're gonna rewind quite a bit. You recall when you
Speaker 1: smashed Eddie's TV. You'd come on the air and you're like,
Speaker 1: I really need to smash something, and at the time
Speaker 1: you didn't want to talk about that reason. Why do
Speaker 1: you happen to remember why you wanted to smash the TV,
Speaker 1: and if so, do you want to talk about it?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 3: I remember I liked hitting things. I had a lot
Speaker 3: going on. It felt good so well, I imagine that
Speaker 3: I don't know that I would get that much satisfaction
Speaker 3: out of it now.
Speaker 2: It felt good at the time.
Speaker 1: That was during the time I believe you were going
Speaker 1: through your divorces. Just nobody knew yet.
Speaker 2: We had not decided we were getting divorced yet at
Speaker 2: that point.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, so but there was stuff happening, Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3: And I walked out. I think it was around the
Speaker 3: time where I walked out into my pool with all
Speaker 3: my clothes on.
Speaker 1: Okaday, around the same time. Got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was weird.
Speaker 3: I don't never do that now, but I just like
Speaker 3: just it was almost like I was a zombie and
Speaker 3: I just like thro opened the door and I just
Speaker 3: started walking out and my my face like people they
Speaker 3: all witnessed it. They're like, I think my son was
Speaker 3: like what just happened? And I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: And I think it just like woke everybody up to
Speaker 3: where we're like, okay, let's something's up.
Speaker 2: Let's pay attention.
Speaker 3: Here because again other people's stories. So I would say
Speaker 3: at that point in time, there were three very major
Speaker 3: Even if one of those things had been happening to
Speaker 3: somebody at that moment, just one.
Speaker 2: It would be a lot like look at the draw.
Speaker 3: I had three things happening at once, and I didn't
Speaker 3: have the tools. Some of the tools, I didn't have
Speaker 3: the capacity. I just wasn't prepared. It was almost like
Speaker 3: I don't know, I couldn't figure it out. But I
Speaker 3: never any of the things I was experiencing minus my
Speaker 3: dad being sick, because I have had a sick mom
Speaker 3: and I lost my mom, so I'd been through death before.
Speaker 3: But the other two things I had never experienced in
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like too correct me I from wrong.
Speaker 1: But like when you're when you go through something, your
Speaker 1: nervous system is kicking in into like flight, freeze, survival,
Speaker 1: like so many different modes to try and figure out
Speaker 1: how to get through something. And it sounds like your
Speaker 1: body was literally responding to what was happening and you
Speaker 1: just had to like get energy out of it however
Speaker 1: it needed to come out. And that just happened to be, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what it was for you.
Speaker 3: I feel like my therapist was trying to just make
Speaker 3: me feel better and help me feel a little sane
Speaker 3: because I felt crazy.
Speaker 2: But she's like, no, look at you.
Speaker 3: You walking into the water and submerging yourself and then
Speaker 3: emerging from it and feeling better. That was what your
Speaker 3: body needed in that moment, and it was taking care
Speaker 3: of itself like you needed that, like to go underwater.
Speaker 3: And there was something that happened to me physically when
Speaker 3: I did it to where and I did come up,
Speaker 3: I felt better, sort of like smashing the TV. Although
Speaker 3: smashing the TV was a very controlled, intentional, we'd planned
Speaker 3: it type thing, and it felt good. Walking into the
Speaker 3: pool with all my clothes on was not planned at all,
Speaker 3: but it was safe, like I wasn't harmed in the process.
Speaker 3: So I don't recommend just unplanned walking around with a
Speaker 3: bat or sledgehamer smashing things, because those are two very
Speaker 3: different things. But you know, I think that in a
Speaker 3: controlled way, something similar I would do at times would
Speaker 3: go outside and throw ice cubes at the ground. Okay,
Speaker 3: there are there are rage rooms now too, I know,
Speaker 3: but it's cheaper and easier and more convenience. That's definitely
Speaker 3: like just slam things down, or you can get those
Speaker 3: like squish balls. They're on Amazon and you can like
Speaker 3: literally like slam them down on the ground or throw
Speaker 3: them across the room, or like stretch.
Speaker 2: Them and you can beat them up. But stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I don't eve remember their original.
Speaker 1: Question, laughing the way that you described that, not the
Speaker 1: act of actually doing it, the way that you were
Speaker 1: describing how you would use it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care what was the original question though,
Speaker 3: because it's okay.
Speaker 1: It was about like the reason behind why you needed
Speaker 1: to smash Eddie's TV, which I think you answered it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was why.
Speaker 3: There was just a lot going on and it felt
Speaker 3: really good. But I think right, and I was very
Speaker 3: interested in that. I was like, good, that sounds like
Speaker 3: so much fun. But if Eddie were to bring an
Speaker 3: old TV up here right now, I'd be like, I'm good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a season of your life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody else can do it.
