00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: It's been too long. I haven't seen her in a

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: want to share with you guys something really quickly the

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: good that has come from this pod. This is just

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: one of the things. Actually, there's been so many things,

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: but specifically the episode with my ex Peter. Guys, we

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: are officially friends now. Yeah, uh huh. He even unblocked

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: me from Instagram. I've been blocked on his socials for

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: so long that I stop caring years ago. But I'm

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: unblocked now, you guys. That's that's big news. And not

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: just that he let me borrow his cooler for a

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: shoot that I had this past weekend.

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm.

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: He let me use his guest room for some fittings

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: that we had to do with some people.

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,520

Speaker 1: push one another overboard, yeah.

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: That's still tbd. But this is the power of the pod, people,

37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: potp power of the pod, not to be confused with

Speaker 1: July holiday, So lucky to have the choices.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: That we do have.

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, man, that's fortune right there. I encourage you

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: guys to take some beats over this next week and

47
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: check in with yourself amidst it all, do some I

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: choose me, And remember it doesn't have to be big moments.

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be big important things every time

50
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: you choose yourself. It can be little things. Like just

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: last night, I had at least two I choose me moments.

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: I said no thank you to an eight thirty pm

53
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: work call. I knew that that could wait until today,

54
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: which it did. And I also said no thank you

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: to the dishes. I just went to bed with a

56
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: sink full of dirty dishes. I told myself that they

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: could wait, but that I needed to go get some

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: rest after I'd had a really long day and I

59
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: needed to get myself ready for another jam and day today.

60
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: So guess what, the dirty dishes were fine with it.

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: And the best thing that happened, someone either Dave or

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Lola saw them in the sink and chose to clean

63
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: it up from me. I didn't even have to ask,

64
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: So I think I might be onto something there. Just

65
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: leave the dirty dishes and see who chooses to do them.

66
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: So see there, it can just be the little choices

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: that we make that prioritize ourselves and put ourselves first,

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: and you never know what good will come from it.

69
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: But when it happens, I want you to clock it.

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: Say to yourself, Hey.

71
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Look at that.

72
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I chose myself Right there, I'm having an I Choose

73
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,920
