1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Chip Chip, can you hear me? Because the cicada that

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: my house are so well.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: I actually love the sound of it.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 3: Am I crazy?

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it makes me, it takes me.

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 3: We used to have them all every summer in Virginia,

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 3: so the whole like for those of you who don't know,

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 3: like Nashville is in this region and I don't know

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 3: where else this is happening, but Nashville's in a region

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: where we're having like a thirteen every thirteen years of

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: cicadas come out of the ground in mass to reproduce

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: and they have basically have sex and then die disgusting,

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: and they're everywhere, Like my back deck and the fence

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: in my backyard is covered in like cicada because they

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: shed their exo exoskeleton, so it's covered in those.

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: But it's also like there's dead cicadas everywhere.

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: I am fascinated by the way you just told the

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: story for so many reasons new exoskeleton, Yes, how do

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: you know so many detail for one, for two when

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: you first brought it up, the nostalgia, This is when

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wish this was a video podcast and

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: I could post this on YouTube. Just as the listeners

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: can see your entire face changed.

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: You're like.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: I can remember like dreamy, and I can remember as

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: a kid, like picking I love to take the exo

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: skeletons off of the tree. I thought it was like

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: so cool, But like what I never really saw as

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: a kid was them actually exiting their exoskeleton.

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: And I've seen that.

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: A lot at my mouse, Like you know, I've actually

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: filmed it a few times. Maybe I'll put one on Instagram.

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm lucky because my dog doesn't like to eat them.

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: But apparently they're really like protein heavy and you can

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: fry them, and the males tastes like peanut butter and

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: the females tastes like mint.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna try it and tell.

38
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Us hell no crickets.

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I personally do not feel any sort of nostalgia about them.

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: And they freaked me out. They're everywhere. They're covering my yard,

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: my deck, my like everything, like just the ground, and

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: they're so loud, Like I can't even sit outside right

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: now because it's not peaceful at all. It sounds like

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you're in this like echo chamber.

45
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I just to me, it sounds like

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: a symphony of bugs.

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Wow, maybe that's not I'm not doing a very good

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: job of selling it.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: But it is very loud, and you.

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Can have your nostalgia. That's fine, I understand those things.

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: But for the rest of us, and probably most of

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: the listeners were like, I'm not we're good on this.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: It also are ugly bugs.

55
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: You're ugly, and it's just weird, like they literally come

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: out of the ground. Well, I have so many questions

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: about that, like what were they doing before? Are they

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: just like mud diving all the.

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: Time, Like, well, like I don't know, maybe they that's

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: where the eggs were laid and it takes them thirteen

61
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: years to be born.

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure.

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: And then they calm back out they have sex with

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: each other.

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they hatch and maybe the females lay more eggs.

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like love bugs in a way.

67
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: And remember when love bugs did y'all have? I mean,

68
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: that's a louisy and a thing, for sure, we had

69
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: a ton of them, but they would literally get on

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: your windshield and they're stuck together, which means they're having sex.

71
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: And like, even as a kid, I remember knowing those

72
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: two love bugs are having sex right now and it's.

73
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: Just bug, you know, called it.

74
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know how to explain it.

75
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: At mean, oh my god, they go butt to butt too, yeah, and.

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: They're like they get stuck together and so but they're

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: cross contaminating or whatever.

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: What's the scientific term you're the way at inmating?

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Okay, whatever. It's like I can talk about sex all

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the time on the podcast, but then you talk about

81
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: bugs having sex, but I just can't.

82
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, the cicadas have kind of caused a stir

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: because already people are being like, this is the end

85
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: of the world. We have all these natural disasters. We

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: have so much happening, like in politics again, and you

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: and I were just like we get to this place

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: sometimes where we're looking for the headlines and either it

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: feels like doomsday or there's stuff happening in like the

90
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: celebrity culture that we just don't care about anymore. It's

91
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: so interesting how that shifted. I used to really care

92
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: about like pop culture topics, and then maybe it just

93
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: doesn't seem I don't know that important.

94
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: I do still care, especially when like celebrities are doing

95
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: good things, but the you know, and not to rag

96
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: on it or even make it the topic. But the

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: main thing that like this in pop culture right now

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: is the met Gala, And to me that just is.

99
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Like I used to love the mat gala though, or

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: gala whatever you want.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: I get why people would, but to me, it's a

102
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: little bit of just like a masturbatory, like we're celebrities

103
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: and we're gonna dress crazy tonight, and like I'm just like,

104
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: who fucking cares? But I guess it does raise money

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: Sure that's good, but I guess so whatever there. Yeah,

107
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: It's just I think the things that used to feel

108
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: so important and like our outlets have shifted, and that's okay,

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: But sometimes we feel as if the news is whatever.

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: It's everything's so oversaturated that everyone is trying to get

111
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: the buzzy headline, the thing that will like do all

112
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the clicks, the thing that's going to be doomsday that

113
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: makes you go, oh my god and like read it.

114
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: It just gets so overwhelma and fear. Yeah, and we

115
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: just need a good news day. So today is a

Speaker 2: Goes with.

00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Oh god, I was waiting for you to create one.

121

Speaker 1: I know you thought about it. Okay, anyway, do you

00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: guys some of our favorite top good news stories because

124
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: what else do you need on a Friday morning other

125
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: than to feel positive? You know? TG?

126
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 3: I f TG IF Well, I guess I could start

127
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: the first one. Yeah, the first one that I would

128
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: like to bring up. And I tried to find some

129
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: that like sort of played into some of my narratives

130
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: over the last couple of months. And since I'm a

131
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: fitness influencer, this one really struck me on good News.

132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: I've found this on the Good News Movement? Where did

133
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 3: it get? It just went away and it was the

134
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: good News Movement on Instagram and it said, we asked

135
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 3: how our running We asked how your running community changed

136
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: your life. Swipe to hear some of the responses from

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: our readers. Okay, and this one said I was homeless.

138
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: A few people would stop and leave money, food, blankets,

139
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: the usual stuff. But one man stopped and asked me

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: my sneaker size. I told him and the next day

141
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: he showed up with a brand new pair of sneakers.

142
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: He invited me to run with a group during those runs,

143
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: they gave me advice and motivated me. It was therapy.

144
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: I have been off the streets now for six months

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: thanks to my running crew. It was more than just

146
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: a run, and it like it just warmed my heart

147
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 3: because like, sometimes, you know, I think we're all guilty

148
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: of it. We're you know, we don't want to just

149
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: give a handout every time we see a homeless person,

150
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: but somewhere deep inside of us, we think, how can

151
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: we help? And you know, it's impossible to help everyone.

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's hard enough to help ourselves some days.

153
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: But sometimes, like you can really see a person and

154
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: change their lives. And I think that it just takes

155
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of action and when you're feeling sort

156
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: of move to do it, do it because you never

157
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: know how much a small action can literally impact someone's

158
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: entire life and change it on a day.

159
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: I think you also just said a really great point

160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: where you said, sometimes we can't even help ourselves, and

161
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: in some ways this story is a story of helping

162
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: someone else actually help themselves. Like all the person did

163
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: was give them a pair of shoes. Then he had

164
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: to put it into action, right, So there's so much

165
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: ownership And what is the word when you are? I

166
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes when we actually apply ourselves and really

167
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: challenge ourselves, it's so rewarding. There's a word says that,

168
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: What it is. You taking the initiative, maybe.

170
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just taking the I was just thinking taking the ownership,

171
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: taking the initiative that gives him something to then build

172
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: his self esteem.

173
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: Right.

174
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: So it's like one pair of shoes did a lot

175
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: of different things emotionally, physically, and and all the ways

176
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: of that.

177
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's acquiring those shoes. For this one, this

178
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: guy was a mountain, you know, like right, so it's

179
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: like he couldn't even think about what he would do

180
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: if he had them. But then once he had them,

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: he's like, wait a minute, this solved a problem for me.

182
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: Let me solve another problem for myself. Yeah, I mean

183
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: it's one small action can really change somebody.

184
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: So I love love that one. Okay, I have this one,

185
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: and I thought it was just so cute for some reason,

186
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: And if you actually want to go watch the video,

187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: this is it's even cuter. But you know how when

188
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: you go to like a zoo or somewhere that has

189
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: a cage like that. And if something gets dropped like

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: you're screwed, like right, or you drop something under the

191
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: bleachers or things like that. So this comes from the

192
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Goodnewsnetwork dot org if you wanted to go watch the video,

193
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: but visitors to a zoo in China captured the moment

194
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: a clever elephant returned to shoe using its trunk after

195
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: it fell into the enclosure. A video shows the animals

196
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: stopping to pick up a baby's footwear and gently lift

197
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: it back up into the little child's hand, like literally

198
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: with his child picks up the shoe and delivers it

199
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: right back the elephant, named Sean may, I mean, that's hilarious.

200
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: Me trying to pronounce that, which means mountains and resides

201
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: in I can't even. I don't know why I haven't

202
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: read that sentence. It's a wild animal nature reserve. We'll

203
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: just go with that. According to it, Yeah, in China,

204
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and according to a staff member, the elephant first thought

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: the shoe was food, so that, you know, because people

206
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: drop food down there, but when it realized that it wasn't,

207
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: upon picking it up, it returned it to its owner.

208
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: I just thought it was so cute. There's a video

209
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: and you see the little kid's hand that the elephant

210
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: literally puts the shoe back into the kid's hands, Like,

211
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: could you imagine that?

212
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: Animals?

213
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: They're such smart animals. It makes this story makes me

214
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: love them even more than I already did. Oh, oh

215
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: my god, I'm gonna cry.

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to watch that video.

217
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Get some clean ton of down.

218
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Animals are so underrated. Well, I've got another one for you.

219
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: This one might make some people cry too. So this

220
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: and I've seen this story in a bunch of places,

221
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: but I was reminded today when I was doing a

222
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: little research for this talking. So, a man named Kevin

223
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: Ford recently retired from working at Burger King for twenty

224
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: seven years, and in those twenty seven years, he never

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: missed a single day of work, Okay, And to to

Speaker 3: That go fund me, to this date has raised over

232
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars for Kevin and

233
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: it it's it's made him so that he can retire

234
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: with independence.

235
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: Wow.

236
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: Now, this is the man that worked for a minimum.

237
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: Wage his entire life and worked tirelessly and loyally. And

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: what an amazing gift to watch the community and the

239
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: world just sort of embrace him and congratulating him.

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I hope he gives a little back to that friend

241
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: who sets it up curiously.

242
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: Here's two hundred bucks, buddy, Yeah, he's like, here's.

243
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: That two hundred You were trying to get me to

244
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: go drive off in my Lamborghini. Yeah, yeah, Okay. I

245
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: had to do this one because it comes from Baton Uge,

246
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: where I'm from. The title says, boy offered a dollar

247
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,359
Speaker 1: to a man he thought was homeless, gets richly rewarded

248
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: for his kindness. So the man there was one man

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: that wanted to step outside for a quiet moment of

250
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: prayer while he was waiting for his coffee, But he

251
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: ended up attracting attention of another man that you'll see

252
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: in the pictures if you go look at the article.

253
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: The meeting produced an incredible moment that fortified the man's

254
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: faith in humanity and in Baton rouge Matt Muspis woke

255
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: up to the fire alarm outside his condo complex. So

256
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you wake up and it's like going off,

257
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: you throw on clothes, you pick up like whatever is

258
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: laying around. You try to get the hell out of

259
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: there because you don't know if it's a real fire

260
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: or not. So he did that, and then he was

261
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: just standing there and he was like, well, he figured

262
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: the rude awakening was irreversible, like he wasn't gonna be

263
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: able to go back to sleep. So even in his

264
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: unkempt appearance, he was like, I'm gonna go get a coffee.

265
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get my day started.

266
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: Whatever.

267
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: So he goes to the coffee shop. He goes outside,

268
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: like I was saying, to have a little prayer session

269
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: and just a moment to himself. And this young kid,

270
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: his name's Calvin Ellis, had entered an eyeglass shop next

271
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: door with his dad. But it was like he was

272
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: stepping out waiting for his eye exam to happen. So

273
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: he sees the man who's obviously like looks probably a

274
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: bit homeless because he ran out of his place like that,

275
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: and he was seeing him just sitting outside, like with

276
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: one coffee and that's where he walked over to him,

277
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that was praying, says, I was

278
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: like starting to slowly open my eyes because I see

279
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: this kid coming at me, you know, and just like

280
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: what does he what does he want? He like looks

281
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: up at him and he goes, what And this nine

282
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: year old says, well, if you're homeless, here's a dollar.

283
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: This is what he says to the guy, and he goes,

284
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: I just always wanted to help a homeless person, and

285
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: I finally had the opportunity. So not only though is

286
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Busvist not homeless, but he's developed several outdoor brands that

287
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: have been sold in deals together were upwards of one

288
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Ellis, the little nine year old, only

289
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: possessed that one dollar that he had been given by

290
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: his dad for good grades. So bus Was then takes

291
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Ellis for a snack at the coffee house, and then

292
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: he surprised him with a forty second shopping spree in

293
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the sporting good stored buck Feather, which he currently runs.

294
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: So among smaller items, Ellis grabbed a compound bow, a

295
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: new bike, but said, none of this is what he

296
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: had planned to spend his money on and he said

297
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: he wanted to spend the money on joy, spreading joy

298
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: because I helped someone giving something away and feeling like

299
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: I get a lot from that. I don't know, I

300
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: just loved it.

301
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: I was like, it's so cute.

302
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I loved that the kid only had one dollar and

303
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: he had gotten it as a reward for something and

304
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: he was like, you know what, I'm gonna go give

305
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: this to a homeless person. That was his heart and

306
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: then he got massively rewarded. So not that that happens

307
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: every time you do a good deed, but I do

308
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: think you're putting little, you know, good nuggets in the

309
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: carme bank.

310
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's obviously a different example of

311
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: good karma. But yeah, if your intentions are pure, good

312
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: things tend to happen for you. And I think that

313
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: that's the most important part about charity, Like if you're

314
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: not doing it for pure reasons, then why do it.

315
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: You know, if you're just doing it for a text break, like,

316
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel charitable to me.

317
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: I feel like the whole thing and for me, what

318
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: drives me.

319
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: To do charitable work is because I know it's something

320
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: that I need for myself, Like I need to feel

321
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: like I'm helping somebody, you know, like writing a check

322
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like I'm helping, you know, I like to

323
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: you are.

324
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: I know, I know it is, but it just doesn't

325
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: feel the same way. Yeah.

326
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I used to have a mentor, and every

327
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: time I would call her to complain about something, like

328
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: if I was going through a hard time, she'd be like,

329
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: when's the last time you did service work? Because the

330
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: reality is is when you go help someone else, even

331
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: when you're in a bad time, it really gives you

332
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: such a bigger perspective one your problems, but two on

333
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: all the things you still have to be grateful for, right,

334
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Like you know, we are very lucky people, unfortunate people,

335
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: and so obviously like, yeah, you want to give back

336
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: whatever you can, and like you said, going and getting

337
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: hands on with people. I think it also is like

338
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: that human connection piece, you know, like we are all connected,

339
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't it not, not because of how much money we

340
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: make or anything like that.

341
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's and everything is relative. You know, everyone has problems,

342
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: you know, they're just in different scales. So really, all right,

343
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: My last one was also a pretty big story. I

344
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: saw it on a lot of outlets, but it was

345
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: about what is his name?

346
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure I get it right.

347
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: It is.

348
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to butcher this too. He's an immigrant from Laos'

349
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: name is Chang Charlie Siphon is maybe how you would

350
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: pronounce it. He's this forty six year old immigrant from

351
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: Laos and he was to be the winner of the

352
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: historic one point three billion dollar power ball and he's

353
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: actually currently battling cancer. And he they had a friend

354
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: that chipped in one hundred dollars to buy like a

355
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: you know, a batch of lottery tickets. So they're walking

356
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: with like four hundred and twenty two million dollars. They

357
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: are splitting it down the middle with their friend that

358
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: chipped in one hundred dollars, so he and his wife

359
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: are getting two hundred and eleven million dollars.

360
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: Quick math right there? Wow and yeah.

361
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: And so it's it's just an amazing story because he's

362
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: like he's been fighting cancer for eight years and he

363
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: had his latest chemotherapy treatment was last week, okay, and

364
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: he said this is his quote, I will be able

365
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: to provide for my family and my health and find

366
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 3: a good doctor for myself. Wow.

367
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: And you know the reason.

368
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: Why this story really jumped out to me is because

369
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: statistically people who win the law have shorter life spans.

370
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: There's something that happens so odd because I think they

371
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: it allows people to live a little more recklessly. Plus

372
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't know how to handle finances

373
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: of that level, right, and then they end up in

374
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: They blow through the money and they end up in

375
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: the more stressful situations and they actually were in because

376
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: now they have a lot more responsibility or a bigger

377
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: house that they can't afford, and they end up homeless

378
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: or whatever. It is. So the idea that this man

379
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: could potentially reverse that statistic and find great doctors and

380
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: afford the best care in the world and beat cancer. Yeah,

381
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: and have the lottery actually save his life. I think

382
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: it's just like a really like you know, there's a

383
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: lot of humor in that. To me, it's like, you

384
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: know how much I dream about winning one point three

385
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: billion dollars but don't even fucking buy a lottery ticket?

386
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something? Yesterday I went to go

387
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: buy a Mother's Day gift and I had another gift

388
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: to buy, and my total at the store was one, two, three,

389
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: four five, and the guy was like, if you don't

390
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: go buy a powerball ticket right now, and of course

391
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: I didn't. But it was also on the tourist New Moon,

392
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: which is like a big manifesting day, and I was like,

393
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: something weird is.

394
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: Happening, and you know my lucky numbers one, two, three

395
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: four and I see it every day on my clock.

396
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't that mean I love you or.

397
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: That it's a it's a it's a real it's not

398
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: I love you, but it's a Really it's a lot

399
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: of different messages that are all really powerful and positive.

400
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: But I see it almost because I stay up really

401
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: late too, so I.

402
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: See it every day.

403
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: Wow, support me all the time.

404
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: There has to be something that going on with that

405
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: for you to look up what the new morelogy means.

406
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one I just felt like, I just feel

407
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: like I keep hearing so much negative about the way

408
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: things are going in our world, like the climate, the culture,

409
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 4: and I don't know if this is just like to me,

410
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 4: it was a little bit hopeful of Okay, maybe we're

411
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 4: listening and we're going to make some changes.

412
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: In the car department. I've also been looking for a

413
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: new car. So I think this is like top of

414
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: mind for me, but tell it. Boxes around Britain are

415
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: actually going to be converted into ev charging stations, and

416
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: so they're saying there's going to be a capacity of

417
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: at least sixty thousand immediately. These old boxes used to

418
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: be used for like the cable boxes. They used to

419
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: be used for wireless telephones and cable provision or no,

420
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they've become obsolete since people have been moving

421
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: to wireless television vision and like, I mean, god, I

422
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: cannot talk today, y'all. I'm so sorry wireless telephone and

423
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: cable provision. But those same lines can provide electricity to anything,

424
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: you know. And so they're like, look at this, we

425
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: actually are realizing we have all this capacity. Which has

426
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: been one of the biggest hold ups in the electric

427
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: car world is just like it's not that easy or

428
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: accessible to charge these cars.

429
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: Right.

430
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: So as much as everyone was like, oh, we're gonna

431
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: be electric by this year or whatever, like we're almost

432
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: two that year, I think they said twenty twenty five,

433
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: and actually in my search, which is like a lot

434
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: of the electric cars are not selling you and I

435
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: were talking about that. Yeah, and so I just think

436
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting because it does seem like ultimately it would

437
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: be way better for our culture and like climate and

438
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: to take care of the world. And I think we're

439
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: going to see a lot more innovations like that if

440
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the astrology, like moving into

441
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: the age of Aquarius. That's all that Aquarius is is

442
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: like innovative. So we just got to obviously start protecting

443
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: our culture, our country, and our I mean our world.

444
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that. It's a repurposing too.

445
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: It's not just like they're already there.

446
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: They're there.

447
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's not like it's kind of work like.

448
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: The fact that people figure that stuff out than I

449
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 3: so appreciate it.

450
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.

451
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, I just was like, oh, well, few maybe

452
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: there they are working for things and things can like

453
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: get more easy and positive and there's a you know,

454
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: silver lining coming for us.

455
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

456
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: I did listen to like a Doom and Gloom podcast

457
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: as Morning on New York Times about the temperature of

458
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: the oceans rising and the destruction that's coming our way

459
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: because it's really scary. I had one little bonus one

460
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: that I wanted to read, and it's not much of

461
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: a story It's just a thing that I saw in

462
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 3: my hunt for information, and as somebody who struggles with

463
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: work life balance, I loved this. So this was just

464
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: something that was shared on tank Goodness, and it was

465
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 3: a screenshot of something that somebody tweeted. And this person said,

466
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: just got an after hour's email from my new CEO

467
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: and noticed that he added this little disclaimer you love

468
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 3: to see it. And what the CEO had put at

469
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 3: the bottom of his email was in bold well being

470
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: noticed colon receiving this email outside of normal work hours. Question,

471
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: managing work life, work and life responsibilities is unique for everyone.

472
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: I have sent this email at a time that works

473
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: for me, Please respond at a time that works for you.

474
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: And you know, as someone that.

475
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: Has worked with different types of leaders throughout my career,

476
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: some who are have been a lot more demanding than others,

477
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: like that was like a really relieving thing to see,

478
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: and like it's just such a positive Like I know

479
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: that I'm I work really late at night sometimes because

480
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: the world is quieter and I kind of think better,

481
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: and so I never expect anyone to respond to me

482
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 3: right away, you know, And but a lot of it

483
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: causes anxiety and a lot of people, so I might

484
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: add something like that to my email to just you know.

485
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: It's obviously it's like if something's important, it needs to

486
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: be recognized as important. But not everything is important.

487
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: No, And I was saying this to you before the podcast.

488
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: I am like the number one person where I have

489
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: to send something when I think of it a lot

490
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: of times, like to assistance or people like that, or

491
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: I will forget to do it. And so I love

492
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: that disclaimer. It kind of goes back to that conversation

493
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: we were having about texting and like just being able to

494
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: communicate with people like Yo, this is not a good time,

495
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: but I will respond later or whatever. The CEO is

496
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: putting it out there even before he's communicating, he's just

497
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: simply saying, I'm doing this right now because like me,

498
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: probably he needs to do it so he doesn't forget.

499
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: But you don't have to do this. It's not required

500
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: of you to do this outside of work hours, like

501
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: do it at a time that works for you, right.

502
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: It just makes it. I mean that person. If I was,

503
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: then I'd probably be like, huh, well, I'll respond now anyway,

504
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, Like it just takes when you

505
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: take the pressure off. Sometimes it freeze up a lot

506
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: more headspace, you know, yep, or capacity. Wow, we'll see.

507
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: Don't you just feel better? Yeah?

508
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: I mean honestly I needed this.

509
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: Today, know me too. We had a bad tornado this

510
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: week in Nashville again, and it's just so sad, Like

511
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: I hate watching people lose their houses. I know my

512
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: family has been devastated by something like that before. And

513
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: it's so complex and so difficult and so much bigger

514
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: and sadder than you would ever imagine, because you go, oh,

515
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: it's just stuff, and we have our health and all

516
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: the things that is true, and that's beautiful and such

517
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: a great a thing to be so grateful for. And

518
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: when you've had stuff your whole life, like all you

519
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: have to think about, all your memories, all your pictures,

520
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: all your things that you've worked really hard for, they're

521
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: just gone. You have nothing, And yes, it makes you

522
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: realize what's really important and it's really hard. So if

523
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: you can, if there's anything you want to do to

524
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: help out the Nashville community, we had a really bad

525
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: tornado in the Columbia area, so you can go google

526
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: that and see if there's anything you could do to help.

527
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: But I just think it's like we got to just

528
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: keep spreading the joy and not get so sucked into

529
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: all the nasty headlines in the media and social media

530
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: and all the things.

531
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: No, I want to delete all the news shit from

532
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: I think I've said.

533
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: That before, Like you say that every time we do this.

534
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: I don't even see I don't even see what my

535
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: friends have going on on Instagram anymore.

536
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 2: It's all just news.

537
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Well, it's the kind of the deal though. We have

538
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: so much so over saturated that no one sees anything,

539
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: and then you kind of zone out on really massive

540
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: things that we should be paying attention to. So hopefully

541
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: this can kind of cleanse your palette. That's what we'll

542
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: start calling me, is like a palette cleanser from all

543
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: the negativity. And there is still a lot of good

544
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: happening in our world, so let's not forget to find it.

545
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel good now, Thanks, Okay, good one.

546
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,000
