1
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Remy Bait or you may not know

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: who she is. She's a girl who shot to TikTok

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: fame during the pandemic. She was a big girl, a

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: curvy girl, celebrated her curves, pushed against society and brands

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: for not being inclusive with sizes. Really became the voice

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: of a curvy, voluptuous woman in celebrating yourself, loving yourself,

7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: wearing clothes that usually are only for thin people, in

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: talking about brands that don't have sizes, like there are girls,

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: there are women of color that talk about brands that

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: aren't inclusive with the shades of foundation, and Remy was

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: like talking about not being inclusive with the sizes in

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: a brand, the range, and who they're appealing to. And

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: she became a star for this. So she hastically reduced

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: in size. At one point in her account, she said,

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be talking about my body anymore

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: because people will talk about her eating and her weight

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: and criticize her every which way but Sunday and then

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: what she's wearing. And so she said, one day, I'm

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: not going to talk about my size anymore. And she

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: can have her own reasons. This is a parasocial relationship.

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: People think that they are in a relationship with her.

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: She's beloved, she loves them, and a social media person

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: is really just in a relationship with these people all day,

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: every day. It's what goes on. She's sick, she's telling

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: you you feel bad. You're sending her virtual chicken soup.

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Like that's how the relationship goes the parasocial relationship. Someone dies,

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: she goes through a breakup, you're going through. You're picking

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: her up, you're helping her. She's grateful, she's telling you

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: things just like she tells her friends. This is what

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: goes on. Okay, so now she breaks up with a guy.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: She's heartbroken, she's miserable, and you see her glow up.

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: You see her like pick herself up off the floor

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: and finally like start going away and being happy and

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: sharing when she's feeling depressed. But one day she just

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: like Majestically was thin. Majestically was like drastically thin. And

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: people have recently gone crazy because she never shared how

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: and they are saying that she was paid to talk

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: about what she had. And she went on Chloe Kardashian's

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: podcast to talk about this experience and her fans, it

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: hit sideways because they feel like they were not included

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: in any of this. One day, she's just thin and

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to share any of it, but she

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: became the voice of these people. She became the poster

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: child for this movement, and without explanation, she just is thin,

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: and not until she's on Chloe Kardashian's podcast and presumably paid,

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: is she discussing this. And I really think it's a

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: function of her just being young and the game moving

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: so quickly and it just not being the right marketing strategy,

49
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: where I think she probably planned the surgery that sounds

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: brutal and emotional and physically dangerous and something to heal

51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: from that. She said, I'm not discussing my body because

52
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: she probably knew she was going to do this, and

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: so she was giving a disclaimer saying, I'm that addressed

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: in his crowd right now. So she thought she had

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: checked that box and this is just not what she

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: talks about anymore. But they still know her as that

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: person to them. So in one day she was thin,

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: there was not really enough of an explanation directly to

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: them from her based on what had happened, and I said,

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: My advice would have been, you don't have to tell

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: everybody anything. This is a parasocial relationship. She is allowed

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: to have a private life. She has been raked over

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the calls for being thin, for being overweight, for just

64
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: it's just social media. It's what it is. And what

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: she should have said is, guys, this is not natural,

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: this is not magic. I am going to do something.

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to be on a journey. It's a private

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: journey that I don't want to share for many reasons, medical, emotional, physical,

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: et cetera. But I'm going to go on a journey

70
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be losing weight with any look.

71
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: And I love myself and I love you and everybody

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: is beautiful, but I want to lose weight. I have

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: these reasons, or I don't have to give you my reasons.

74
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: I want to lose weight. I want to be thinner,

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: and please respect my privacy. And of course they would

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: still be haters, but it was so jarring where everybody

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: was an outsider when they were just an insider the

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: whole time. So I think it's about the messaging, not

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: the message. And she went on Chloe Kardashian, which was

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: widely criticized and it shouldn't be criticized because Chloe Kardashian

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: was trolled abuse, was criticized for looking different than her siblings,

82
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: for being bigger than her siblings. She was accused of

83
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: not being Robert Kardashian's daughter and that she was really

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: someone else's daughter, and that is so cruel and it

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because she is Robert Kardashian's daughter and that's

86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: how she was raised and it's just like not kind.

87
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: And she did have a glow up and people criticized

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: how it happened, and she said exercise and diet, and

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: it could have been exercise and diet. It could have

90
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: been epic, could have been whatever we diet pills. It's

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: not really anyone's business if she doesn't want it to

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: be their business. But she has been through the Ringer

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: and also was before ozepic and that stuff was more

94
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: widely taken, and she's been through the Ringer and she

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: may just have wanted to just now be thin and

96
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: now of a glook. And she's a beautiful woman as

97
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: she was then. I think she's the perfect person for

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: Remy to talk to because I think it's about someone

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: who has been assessed, criticized, and their identity has been

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: attached to their body type, and in many cases someone

101
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: doesn't want someone to change. I don't think that's really

102
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: here with Remy. Everyone who's talking about it is saying, good,

103
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: if you want to lose weight, you want to get

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: plastic surgery, you do it. And that's partially true. I

105
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: do think people get anxiety because she is talking to

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: people who are overweight themselves, or curvy or voluptuous, and

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: they have noise with it. Also, I'm going to start

108
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: talking more about naturally thin and noise, but they have

109
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: noise with it too. They feel abandoned, like one day

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: you just act like, oh, I've been thinn my whole life.

111
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: Guess what Now we're just doing fashion posts and those

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: people feel left and it's scary. And I talk about

113
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: my bathing suit story, how I ate sixty thousand dollars

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: in bathing suits on HSN Because people feel self conscious

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: and insecure and weight and food is a very sensitive

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: topic and eds are something I know about intimately and

117
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: it's a very serious topic. And so I just think

118
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: that Remy had a pr plan, but I just don't

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: think it was fully fleshed out and she is allowed

120
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: to do what she wants. I just don't think. I

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: think that she's a young girl and it's a lot

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: to navigate, and she might not have stuck the landing.

123
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: And hopefully they'll give her her peace and her grace

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: because she's definitely still emotionally catching up to where her

125
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: physicality is. You don't just get a new body. I

126
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: remember that show The Swan. You don't just get a

127
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: new body and all of a sudden you're secure and

128
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: you're you know, confident, and there is there's a lot

129
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: going on. There's also eating differently, a different relationship with food,

130
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: a different relationship with your body. You don't know what

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the side effects are. It's a lot to deal with.

132
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: There's a price to pay for doing this, and it's

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot to navigate. So give her her grace. Okay,

134
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: this is going to sound a little too touchy feely,

135
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: but I want to explain what I realized. Let's say

136
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: someone passes away, you have a stress at work, or

137
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: you're going through a breakup, or something's been happening, you're

138
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: having an issue with your child or something okay, or

139
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: you know your morning morning is a good one or

140
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: morning a breakup, I will almost make appointment time to

141
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: think on it. And it doesn't mean I'm making time

142
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: to obsess over it or fixate on it. It's not technically

143
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean maybe a technically is it's not categorized as meditation,

144
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: meaning I'm not sitting and doing a chant or a mantra,

145
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: or breathing in and out intentionally or holding beans. It

146
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: means I'll lay down in bed and I will think

147
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: about the person. Let's say that you're breaking up with

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: or your mother passed away, and I'll think about them,

149
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: but not in an obsessive why didn't we do this?

150
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Why didn't that happen? I'll tell a story like I'll

151
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: be like, okay, let's go through the time we went

152
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: to Miami together or the Bahamas, and I'd be like, okay,

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: let's go through it, and like I'll walk myself through

154
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: the situation. I'll be like, I remember, like he showed

155
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: up at the hotel, and then we went to the

156
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: drink and then but slow and I was wearing this.

157
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: And often clues will come through that will make me

158
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: feel either good about break up, bad about the breakup, accountable,

159
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: good about the death, bad about the death, accountable, mournful, insightful,

160
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: like it's just it's not like choppy throat. The day

161
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: you're on a walk. A walk is a good time

162
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to do it too, if you dedicate it. If you're

163
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: looking at this into music and doing phone falls, it

164
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: just like you breathe in and out. I take my

165
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: warm neck pillow and I lay in bed and I

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: fall asleep to thoughts. And you'd think they're obsessive because

167
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: they're probably about something negative, but they're not. Like they're

168
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: not negative. Fuck, they're just sort of like processing something

169
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: and it helps me to fall asleep. And I do

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: it sometimes in the bath, and it helps work through something.

171
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: It really does helps get you to the next place.

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: My sleep regimen is on fleek right now. So let

173
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: me tell you what I'm doing to sleep well. Sometimes

174
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: if it's if I'm anxiety or i feel like I'm

175
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna need to sleep harder, I just feel like it

176
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: out of the blue, I'll take an edible something. It

177
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: could be some version of a gummy. It could be

178
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: like a drugstore gummy. It could be one that is

179
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: infused in some way that's just into guffer sleep. I'll

180
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: do that. But not all the time. I feel like

181
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: that's like nikeel. If you do it every night, your

182
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: body gets used to it. There's no need to rely

183
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: on that because then it won't be there when you

184
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: really need it. So I just don't believe in that. Okay, I'll, I'll,

185
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: but then on normal nights, like just nights, I'm getting

186
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: into bed, I'm trusting the process. I'm gonna fall asleep.

187
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: I recently started mouth taping, so you put tape over

188
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: your mouth. There's specific mouth tape. It resembles boob tape

189
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: a lot. It's the same thing, I think. So you

190
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: put mouth tape, which is helping with grinding and I

191
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: think breathing for some people. So I put my nightguard

192
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: in my mouth tape. I don't use earplugs unless it's noisy,

193
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: because I don't like the way they make me feel.

194
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: I do black out in the room, but sometimes there's

195
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: a little light peeping through, and I do a soft

196
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: mask of some sort. I do magnesium spray on my

197
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: feet that I rub in, and I do a warm

198
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: neck pillow around my neck. And I have been sleeping

199
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: like a dream. I've been sleeping till like eight thirty

200
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: in the morning. Sometimes it's been great, and I think

201
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: it's got me all the elements. It's not just one,

202
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: it's not just two for me, it's all of the

203
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: elements together really are healthing. So that's been a great

204
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I need traffic to not be an excuse. I need

205
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: people to stop with the traffic. And I need the

206
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: car I need to give carvettes. Okay, if it's the

207
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl, if it's if it's the Kentucky Derby, it's

208
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: f one, it's the President's in Town, it's art puzzle,

209
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: and not even really it's music festival, it's Times Square

210
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, Like these are carvettes. We cannot on

211
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: the regular, Like, oh god, there's so much traffic. She's

212
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: not there yet. There's traffic. Fuck off. I don't want

213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: to hear traffic. I know, like we all know about traffic.

214
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: We've done it, we've gone there. We are here like barring,

215
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: like a train is off the track. So it's a

216
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: fifteen car pile up like stuff. And it's always the

217
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: ones that give you a rigid to use my favorite word,

218
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: cancelation policy, it's always the massage verse. Well it's a

219
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty four hour cancel it they're up your fucking ass,

220
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: and then thirty five minutes and when they're thirty five

221
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: minutes late, like five is one thing, ten is another,

222
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: fifteen is another. When we start to get to twenty

223
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: and twenty five, I have the option to cancel and

224
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: not the charge, and I feel good about exercising. I

225
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: feel pissed, like, no, fuck that, I'm not rushing for this.

226
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: I just don't like traffic being used as an excuse.

227
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: It makes me, It makes me so irritated. It's just

228
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: like stop. It's not a new concept. Traffic is not new.

229
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: Beware of askers in a relationship. Beware of askers like hey,

230
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: do you know the guy who did that? Or can

231
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: you get me into that? Or you know anyone grab

232
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: you or asky or like as a habit of wanting

233
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: you to do things in some way for them or

234
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: connect them to people is a big I'm not even

235
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: saying it's a pink flag. It's a red flag. It's

236
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: a red flag. I had that experience and I ran

237
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: like a thief and the night not even soon, but

238
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: it was just like stop asking me for things like it,

239
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: just stop because then you're being used. Honestly, you're being used.

240
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: It's just a huge red flag. Please beware of it.

241
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: Please beware of it. I want to talk about rigidity. Rigidity.

242
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: It's not a word that's used that much. It's a

243
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: word that was used in my divorce a lot. It

244
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: came up a lot from therapists. It came up a

245
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: lot via a judge, It came up a lot via

246
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: parenting coordinators, guardian ad items, which are lawyers for children.

247
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: Being rigid it doesn't sound that bad. It sounds like, oh,

248
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: this person's a little stuck in their own ways. But

249
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: like real rigidity is real negativity. So being rigid it's

250
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: when someone becomes super ornery and has to like fight

251
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: something that really doesn't necessarily matter. Now, the term rigidity

252
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it doesn't matter. I'm just saying when

253
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: it's really used, like impactfully used, it's when someone doesn't

254
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: need to like color within these lines so hard and

255
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: it debilitates them and it ends up making things worse.

256
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: So it happens a lot with people and work too.

257
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: There are people that I've worked with that I have

258
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: to say, like we're all you know, I'll have to say,

259
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: you can't be so rigid because Okay, let's let's talk

260
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: about custody agreement as an example. Custody agreement is designed

261
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: for a child for the for the benefit of the child,

262
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: for their best interest. It may say you see the

263
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: kid Tuesday, Thursday, This Wednesday's Monday, Wednesday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, whatever,

264
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: it says, okay, but something could come up. What about

265
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: if it comes on a Tuesday, it's not your day

266
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: and your kid could go see Disney onas What if

267
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: they could meet their their favorite you two. What if

268
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: they want to go to a volleyball camp in the

269
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: summer but you don't have that one week? What if?

270
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: What if? What if? What if? Okay, if you only

271
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: hold to the letter of the law, which was my

272
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: experience and my divorce, to the tune of I've been

273
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: asked for something two years for Thursday. If you only

274
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: hold to the letter of the law, it's not in

275
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: the best interest of anyone because it's so rigid. One

276
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: can't know exactly what life will present that might interfere

277
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: with a contract or something that you're supposed to be

278
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: allowed to do, or curfew or anything. Right, and we're

279
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: not only talking about legal matters, but I'm just saying,

280
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: like and That's why a schoolteacher or a principal, a

281
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: judge will not reprimand you or penalize you if you're

282
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: doing something with the original intent of what the agreement is,

283
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: like if it's for the betterment of the child. When

284
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: I was getting divorced, for example, I went out and

285
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: bought a house because I was tortured in my own home.

286
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: Because I felt torture in my own home, and you're

287
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: not allowed to do that until the money's straight. I

288
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: was applauded for that. I left the Mary Old Residence

289
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: when you're not quote unquote allowed to do that because

290
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: it's known as abandonment. I was applauded for that. There

291
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: are times when rules need to be broken, and sometimes

292
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I have to show people with work. We like, Nope,

293
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You're supposed to be here. I'm like, right,

294
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: I know, I know that, but I'm telling you that

295
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: we have to we should try to shift things around.

296
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: And if someone holds too rigiate, No, at noon, you

297
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: have this, at one, you have that, and it's like

298
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, or a brand deal comes in and and

299
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: they're like, you can't do this because this is what

300
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: you signed. I'm like Okay, let me see the contract.

301
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Let me see the contract, because if I call the

302
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: original person I signed with, then they might let me

303
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,239
Speaker 1: out like it like you have to be a workaround

304
