Hi, who is this? 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:58.720 Hello? 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.120 This is Djon Dijon. What's happening? 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.680 Not too much? Get not too much? Before I ask 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.440 you what is happening, I want to first, if you're 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:15.000 willing to answer, what sparked your little mindfulness trip that 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.600 you have been referencing lately. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:25.960 Min influenced trip that I've been referencing lately. Let me think, oh, well, 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.480 in case if this is out of I don't know 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.160 if this might be out of context. I don't know 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.280 where I'm going to put this call in the podcast, 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:36.640 but hm, I yes, I have been talking about trying 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.800 to protect my piece more. What sparked it? I will, 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.000 I fucking I'll talk about it. I had a I 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.960 just don't know. I went insane, I I was. I 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:50.040 realized that my life and my decisions and my I 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.160 just realized I was kind of running on an engine 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:59.280 that was fueled by fear and anxiety and stress and 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:04.680 guilt and shame, and that that is not a good 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:10.960 way to live at all. That's not a worthy life. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.080 And so I'm trying to not let that happen again. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:23.360 It's inevitably going to because you never, really, you never 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.760 fully solve any of your problems. He's kind of have 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.600 to keep mentally lifting weights. And yes, I'm wanting, I'm 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.840 on I'm eye so yes, I'm on a little kick now. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.280 And I don't I don't know where I'm gonna put this. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:41.120 I don't know where this call will be contextually in 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.760 the podcast, but I have been talking about it. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.480 Yeah, that just that interested me because I mean, as 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.720 you are the guy who talks to people about a 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.800 very wide variety of things. I always wonder when you're saying, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.680 like you've been thinking about these things lately, like where 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.600 it came from, because obviously we just see these few 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.160 hours a few times a week. But whatever you're doing 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.600 outside of that is obviously what's going to like spark 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.600 these thoughts. I assume at least. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.720 Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I debate how much to 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.480 share on here because I usually I feel I actually 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.280 feel good, like you know, even just telling you just 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.320 now everything I just told you felt good because I 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.840 mean I'm always you know, other people are telling me 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.240 what's going on with them, so I feel like I 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.800 should talk about what's going on with me, and I 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.240 don't want people to think that I don't. I don't 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.560 want people to think that I'm happy all the time. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.640 This is not true, sure, And I don't want people 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.840 to have this false idea that like I am a 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:56.520 some sort of man of any kind of knowledge and 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.720 peace that is spreading that to other people is uh, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.800 you know, I mean I am sometimes I don't know, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.520 I don't know, I'm figuring myself out, as is everyone 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.840 who is who was talking to me on the show, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.000 and and also lots of people who are not talking 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.760 to me in the show. Lots of people are who 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.880 are in you know, to bet I have no idea 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.920 who I am and are trying to figure out their 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.599 lives regardless of my show at all. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.760 True, very true, All right, Jeon. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.840 Enough of this ship.

I 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.479 had some some stories for sure, and one of them 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.360 was a protest that happened while I was doing any events. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.080 Is that? 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:07.400 Is that? 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:08.720 Something like what you got? 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.360 Well it is now that you have told it to me. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.480 What is this? What is this protest? 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.080 So? Are you familiar with the Oscar Mayer wiendomobile in 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.040 any capacity? 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:22.560 Uh? 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.599 The Oscar Mayer Windowmobile, from what I'm familiar with, is 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:30.960 a giant hot dog car. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:32.680 Mm hmm. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.880 Any other is there any other important information that that 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400 that that you know, I or the people listening you 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.919 need to know about the Oscar minor wiendomobile that I 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:44.720 did not just cover. 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.680 No. Twenty seven foot long hot dog on wheels is 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.000 a pretty good wrap up of what that is. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.479 For sure. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.120 It is important that it is a hot dog, though, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:02.640 because the protest was a it was an anti meat 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:07.880 protest of sorts. So we were at an event at 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.240 a grocery store. Stop me if you have questions. Of course, 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:17.080 hanging out.

After about 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.440 fifteen minutes of talking about life and what we do, 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.839 and I was a little naive. I tried to be 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:50.560 positive and not think terrible things. So I just went, oh, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:58.200 for what And she was like this, man, what do 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.320 you And I was like, oh, we've we we just talked. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.839 We just thought we were friends, Like what just happened? 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.400 I just kind of panicked. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:13.480 no, no no, because it just shit got real real. So, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:20.560 like twenty of her protesting friends roll up and one 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.560 of them is in like, you know how like the 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:29.760 Muscle Museum exhibits. Look, it's like a skin suit deal, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:30.680 you know what it means? 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:31.360 That makes sense? 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.720 Yeah? 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.760 Are you sure? Yeah? 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:37.800 Why don't you explain it? 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.720 So they were in like a suit that just looked 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.560 like the inside of a body. It was like the 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.000 point of it was that it was like a slaughtered animal, 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.640 Like she was wearing a pig nose. It was like 0:07:54.640 --> 0:08:01.560 a slaughtered pig costume, if you will. So that person 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.200 comes up in that like suit and it's like, hey, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:10.240 can we take a look inside? And I so the 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.240 job you're called the hot Dogger, right, and there's two 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.000 of us. My hot Dogger partner was inside the store 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.760 like trying to figure stuff out. So I'm just like, uh, sure, 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:22.680 I guess I don't know. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:29.760 You let her into thebile, you let the pena meat 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.680 suit wearing person into the hot dog moobile? 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:43.520 I Uh, you would have been killed instantly in the 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:48.560 war Dijon, Oh, I blew it. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.720 I blew it, man, I don't know what to tell you. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.439 I blew it. I know I was just too nice 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.440 I do. My job was to be nice. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:04.679 She four and fucking thing and blow it up, and. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.680 It would have been my fault. There's there's no way 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.480 around that. It would have been totally my fault. But 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:15.040 I let her in. I let her. They started taking pictures, 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.000 and like it was weird because she was doing like 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:24.439 peace sign pictures. She wasn't doing like mean like protestee pictures, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.000 whatever that might mean. She was like doing like poses 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.679 like this is fun kind of thing. And I was like, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.480 this is kind of strange. So she was in there 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.240 for like ten seconds maybe before my like I said, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.880 the other hot dogger came out and was like, hey, hey, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.079 you guys gotta go. She was much smarter than I. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.960 She would have been fine in the war that you 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:52.080 mentioned for sure, but hit them out. She was like, 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.439 you guys gotta go, And she was like, hey, we 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.280 should try to leave. So we try to call the bosses. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.600 We can't get a hold of them. And as we're 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.360 trying to figure ourselves out and figure out if we 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.320 can leave or not. They have gathered outside the widmobile, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.280 like I said, like twenty thirty people, and they're in 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.400 kind of a circle with the person in the suit 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:18.040 that I let hints earlier, if you recall, in the middle, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.040 and she's kind of doing like some sort of street 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.719 performing street art kind of deal. And once we kind 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.080 of get a look, we realize that she is kind 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:38.520 of like acting as a pig on its way to flaughter. Yeah, 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.440 and she's like crawling on the ground and like like 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.679 making like squealing pig noises, like all out all of it. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:48.600 That's kind of awesome. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:56.319 Respect for how hard they went, Yeah, truly like they 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.160 This next part is even they went even harder because. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.640 She didn't kill well. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.520 She did well. I can't honestly confirm that, but no, 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:13.360 I know, no, we left eventually, but that they she 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.840 pretty much acted out doing that because they went into 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.480 the store that we were at and they bought a 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:24.760 bunch of ketchup, right, and they came back out and 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.880 she flattered as the pig. Now, so she was on 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.920 her way to the slaughter and now she's being slaughtered 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.959 as the pig.

And then it wouldn't be for nothing, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.679 you know, it'd be for enjoyment, like how high play 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.240 video games or you know, you you do whatever you 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:00.640 like to do. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:01.640 There's a chance. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.520 But in terms of making someone put their hot dog 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.160 down in the moment, I just don't know if. I 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.439 just don't know if it hit the way that they 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:11.960 wanted it to. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.080 So Jjon, it says that you drove the Oscar Meyer 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.480 Williamobile for a year. It says that you drove it 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.520 to thirty plus different countries, like you drove it out 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.640 out of America. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.480 You know what, when you said that, it made me 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.680 realize that I think I did say that out loud, 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.920 but I one hundred percent meant to say states. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.920 That's what I was thinking too. I was like, you 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.800 had to. I don't think you were driving it around 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.360 in fucking you know, Afghanistan. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.240 That was not No, it was very much a US thing. 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.760 It has been outside the twice. But yeah, thirty plus states. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.400 I'm so sorry about that. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.120 It's okay, I forgive you. Do you have any other 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.920 fun stories from your travels that you want to share? 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:06.120 Oh? Man, we I mean we saw so many while 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.640 we spend a lot of time at Walmart's, and as 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.000 many people may or may not know, the people of 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.760 Walmarts is a slogan in its own so we saw 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.280 a lot of interesting characters out there for some reason. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.360 The first thing I could think of is while we 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.240 were driving. This was not out of Walmart. This was 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.720 on the road, but while we were driving once we 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.640 got our picture taken and like waves and stuff, because 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.880 again it's like an eleven foot tall, gigantic hot dog 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:40.040 made out of fiberglass on the highway. This person was 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:45.800 driving alone and he took out his phone and took 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.960 a picture with both of his hands off the wheel. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.960 And this was not like a tesla or a self 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.080 This was just like a Honda Civic like a twenty 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:01.440 twelve Honda Accord, you know, like it. It wasn't. It 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.320 wasn't like self driving mode takes out the phone, goes 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.080 both hands for like ten seconds and almost hits us 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.360 because they were trying to take a picture of what 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.560 they almost crashed into. Like we had to kind of 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.000 swerve a little bit and like make them realize that 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.280 they were coming our way as they took a picture. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.040 And for some reason, that was the first thing that 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.920 came to my mind, because that kind of stuff happened 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.840 a lot. Honestly, There's a guy who stood up on 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.280 his motorcycle out of red light and took a picture 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:33.360 right in front of us. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.280 It would be kind of funny if got into a 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.040 car accident and then having to like exchange insurance information 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.760 with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.360 That's so true. I would have truly no idea how 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.360 to go about like any of that. I've never had 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.680 to do it, and if the first time I had 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.800 to do it within the hat, that would be nuts. Actually, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.240 I will say the first time I ever got pulled 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.760 over in my life was in the Oscar my wienomobile, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.280 which is a funny fun fact that I like to. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.800 Say, sometimes you got pulled weight, you got pulled over 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:13.760 in the hot dog truck. 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.600 I did get pulled over. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:17.560 Yeah. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.800 I need to know that, I need I need to know. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.080 I need to know the story. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:31.760 Okay, okay, So one the first time was why did 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.159 we oh so got pulled over in the Wienermobile for 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.160 the first time in my life. And it was because 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.119 our tail lights were out. It wasn't anything crazy. It 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.239 wasn't like some sort of hot dog gun that we 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.240 were shooting outside the windows and they didn't like it 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.240 or anything like that. The tailors were out this over 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.040 and they were like, hey, the lights are out. You 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.040 should figure this out. Not cool, and we're like, yeah, sorry, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.600 we were just out in the event. It was really fun. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.960 We didn't even notice, thank you. And we spent like 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.800 ten minutes talking to these cops and eventually asked us 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.240 about what the heck was going on. But we talked 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.960 to the cops for like ten minutes, and it was 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.720 because the tail lights were out. What we didn't know. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.720 I was the one driving. What I didn't know was 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.680 that the tail lights were not out. I just didn't 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.280 turn the light sound correctly. Because I was so new 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.679 to the gigantic vehicle that I didn't know how to 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.119 turn the light sound properly. Apparently it was a huge 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.160 week on the road with it. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.919 Did you pull out a hot dog and hand it 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.760 to the cop and go, what do you say we 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:36.880 forget about all this? 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.640 Yeah? I put a little mustard on it, and I said, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.520 you look like a mustard guy. Here, look the other 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:46.040 way on this. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.640 Yeah. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:49.840 Didn't they give you? 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.760 They did not. They were like, you know what, it's fine. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.159 They were out, you're in a gigantic hot dog. You 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.199 seem like good kids. We'll let you go. Just go 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.680 get it fixed right now and you'll be fine. Luckily, 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.959 we didn't notice that it was just turned or I 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:14.320 just didn't turn it on until after they were gone. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.119 So like we were, I don't know what we were 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:17.760 messing with. We were messing with the legs, trying to 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.080 figure it out, and we're like, oh, they're just supposed 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:20.960 to be out. And then they left and then I 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:22.720 flip to the thing and I was like, oh my god, 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.120 go see if they're on. And then my other person 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:26.640 went in the back and be like, yeah, they're on, 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.760 and I was like, oh my goshmes, we got a ticket, 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.920 and then immediately yeah, true. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.080 That's good that they did around the highway. That's that 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.240 Oscar Mayer Wiener privilege right there. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.480 That's what they say. That's what they say. It felt good, 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.440 felt really good. All right. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.760 So you know you asked me at the beginning of 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.119 this about my little journey of peace and whatever I 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:57.000 want to know from you. Spiritually, you seem like a 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.600 deep guy, Dijon. You have even we're twenty minutes in, 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.679 haven't even spoke about the fact that your name is 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.520 Dijon with the mustard thing, and we don't need to 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.800 because it's not that deep. But you seem like a 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:15.520 deep guy, Dijon. I want to know, spiritually, philosophically, emotionally, 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:21.920 what have you learned from driving the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck. 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:33.040 Wow, hell of a question. I love a question, man. 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:41.280 I would say first that there was a lot of 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:50.159 things that went wrong that like, like if the Waidmobile 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:56.680 breaks down, we're like totally clueless, right, We're just like stranded, 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.879 which again that's another story that I could tell that 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:04.080 also happened right stranded, And there's a lot of moments 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.400 where you could have just given up and like been 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:12.000 very negative and angry and like this is so dumb, 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.480 like why does life do this? Which is totally valid. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.000 Sometimes you have to wonder those things to make the 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.800 highs better, right, to make the happy times better. But 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.600 I think what I learned emotionally, spiritually, mentally everything he 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:31.000 said was that choosing as best you can right for 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:38.080 anyone who is able to choosing your attitude ideally to 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:43.480 be positive even in situations that aren't so positive, is 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:50.359 like the secret to the beginning of some sort of happiness. 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.160 I think it's not the secret to happiness. Thinking positive 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.800 it's the magical thing that everyone can just do. It's 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:57.960 not some magical thing that I can just do. But 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.600 there are just sometimes in that good old Gigantic hot 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.520 Dog that I was like, you know what, trying to 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:10.040 force myself to be positive right now, I'm gonna choose 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.920 the happy route. I'm gonna put on a high school 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.480 musical two song, and I'm gonna jam instead of being 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:21.159 sad right now. Mm So, I think a positive attitude 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:26.199 was something that I learned to have, even when a 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.360 positive attitude wasn't necessarily what felt like I should have. 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.520 They really need to record you saying this and have 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.680 it be a commercial for Oscar Mayer Wieners. 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.680 Thank you. That means a lot. I think that's a 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.719 lot of people do buy their hot dogs. 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:47.600 I think so too you. It's so far everything you're 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:49.879 saying right now, by the way, ties into I was 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:53.359 something I was reading about this morning. This concept. I 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:58.119 think it's by uh uh, it's some kind of like 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:03.600 stoic philosophic cool concept or I don't know. It's called 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:08.200 a more fati, which I think fucking means an Italian 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:14.800 or Greek or whatever love what happens. Right, So, so 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.320 you're you're in a giant hot dog, you get pulled 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:23.480 over by the police. Uh, you know, a woman in 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:30.000 a meat suit breaks in, Uh, your your car breaks down, 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.760 all this stuff. You you just decide to love whatever happens. 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.680 You decide to go with it. You you realize that 0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:42.399 logically you have nothing to gain by choosing to be 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:46.359 upset and pissed off about what happens, and so why not, 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:52.080 just for your own damn sake, choose to you know, 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.840 be happy and to to a more fati, to love 0:23:54.880 --> 0:24:00.359 what happens, because it'll just it'll just make life better. 0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:01.520 I like that. 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.679 Yes, you read about that this morning. 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.520 I read about that this morning. I told you I'm 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.000 on a stupid journey. 0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:15.520 Hey man, it's not stupid. It's not stupid. 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:24.800 All right, Wow, this was this was a beautiful car. 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:26.879 I like, I love, I loved talking about all of this. 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.919 That's had a nice ending to it. I'm glad that 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.240 you learned something. I'm glad a lot of this is 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:33.680 what I like about you, man. I think a lot 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.560 of people could drive a giant hot dog across the 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.800 country and come back with nothing, but you seem to 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:41.160 have come back with with a lot. 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.600
