1 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Hi guys, and welcome back to another new episode of 2 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Couch Talks on You Need Therapy. My name is Kat 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: and I am the host. Here. Couch Talks is the 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: special bonus episode of You Need Therapy where I answer 5 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: questions that you, the listeners, send into me, and you 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: can send those into Catherine at You Need Therapy podcast 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: dot com and maybe one day I will get to 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: your question. So usually I answer questions that, like I said, 9 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: you send into that email. However, last week I put 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: an instant pull out when I was well, I guess 11 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: this is a couple of weeks ago, when I was 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: in isolation from having COVID, I had some time on 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: my hands, so I did an Instagram question box and 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: you guys sent in tons of questions and really good questions, 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: some that were even too complicated for me to answer 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: on Instagram. So I kept a lot of them and 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I might pull some of them into couch Talks, which 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: is what I'm doing today. So before we get into this, 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: like usual, just want to remind you guys that I 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: am a therapist, and at the same time, this is 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: not therapy. This is just a therapist talking to you 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: and you'll find if you go to therapy, or maybe 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: you just are starting to listen to a lot of 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: mental health stuff. Therapists don't actually give advice. They help 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: you kind of figure out what you need. And sometimes 26 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: I might answer questions and actually give you an answer. 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm asking you questions back and 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: helping you figure out what you need based on this 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: like pseudo conversation we're having over a podcast. So I 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: just wanted to throw that out there as always that 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: this is not a replacement for actual mental health services, 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: but let's get into it. Also another side note, a 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: lot of people in this question box, and I still 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: get these emails all the time, and I still get 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: these d m s all the time. A lot of 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: people ask me how to find a therapist over and 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: over again. And I love that question because I love 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: that you want to go to therapy. And I actually 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: have a slide on the you Need Therapy podcast page 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: at you Need Therapy Podcast that is also on my Highlights, 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: so you can just go to that page and it's 42 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: at the top that answers this question for everybody. This 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: question is very valid, and I have new people on 44 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: here all the time, so I totally get that you've 45 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: missed when I've actually answered that on couch Shocks, because 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: I've actually done that one or two times as well. 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: So I want to continue to be able to be 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: a resource for you to ask that question. But because 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: I've already answered it, I want to link that Instagram 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: post in the show notes, you guys can go to 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: that and and check that out and you already have 52 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: an answer there. And also, as much as I would 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: love to be able to do this, I cannot individually 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: help everyone find a therapist in your area, especially if 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: you don't live in the Nashville area. I really don't know. 56 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: I sometimes have connections and have resources that I can 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: reach out to when I'm trying to find resources for 58 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: clients and stuff like that, And at the same time, 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: like I really am not connected to like a large 60 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: pool of therapists all over the country. So if you 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: are looking for a referral for me for somebody in 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: your area, I most likely don't have that. So just 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: go to that post and read those tips and hopefully 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: those can help you find that this question in particular 65 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: is and was asking about narcissism. I also have a 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: whole episode on this that I highly recommend you listening 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to that. I will also link. But this question was 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: speaking to what to do when you have a family 69 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: member who continues to reach out and write letters to 70 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you and ask you to be in a relationship with 71 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: them or have a relationship with them, over and over, 72 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: but they never actually make any changes and you continuously 73 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: get hurt. So I'm just going to assume that a 74 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: lot of you are like, oh my gosh, that feels 75 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: like me. Even if you don't have somebody writing letters 76 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: to you, might have some continuously texting you or just 77 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: reaching out to you or doing something. And this is 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: a really tough spot to be in. So I'm going 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to be pretty general in answering this question. Now. In 80 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: the episode that I already did that goes into depth 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: about narcissism and empt, I talk about the difference of 82 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: having traits of narcissism, which we basically all have and 83 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: somewhat need to survive in the world, and being narcissistic 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: and actually having narcissistic personality disorder. We throw this label 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: out way too much these days on basically like anybody 86 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: who's an asshole. So I'm going to answer this question 87 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: with the assumption that this person really does have a 88 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: diagnosable case of MPD, meaning that they meet the requirements 89 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: in the d S M five and have truly a 90 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: lack of empathy towards other people. Very simply to answer 91 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: this question in the most general way, you do what 92 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: you need to do to feel safe, no questions asked. Like, 93 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: you do what you need to do to feel safe, 94 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: and if it feels extreme, that's okay, because when you're 95 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: dealing with somebody like this, it is abnormal and it 96 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: is extreme, and so a lot of times it takes 97 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: extreme behaviors to protect yourself. And I think a lot 98 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: of people are like, I don't want to be dramatic, 99 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: or I don't want to be this, or I don't 100 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: want to be that, but like, this is a dramatic situation. 101 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: Having somebody like this in your life is something that 102 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: will require actions and behaviors and boundaries that you don't 103 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: need with healthy, regulated humans. This is where also actions 104 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: become immensely more important than promises and words. A lot 105 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: of us are words people. I think that words of 106 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: affirmation is the most common love language that there is 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: out there. However, was someone who has narcissistic personality disorder. 108 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: Words are one of their most magical tools. And let 109 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: me remind you, guys, and maybe you haven't heard this yet, 110 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing 111 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again expect geting 112 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: a different result. And if we do this dance with somebody, 113 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: if we do this thing where it's like, you hurt me, Okay, 114 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: I take you back, you hurt me. I promise that 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: I will do better. I'm so sorry, I'm this bad 116 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: person and I love you so much. Okay, I'll take 117 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: you back. You hurt me. I'm so sorry. If we 118 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: do this dance over and over and over again thinking 119 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: that at some point it's going to be different, we 120 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: are creating an insane cycle. Also, there's no rules somewhere 121 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: that says to be a good person you have to 122 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: give people unlimited chances to change. If someone hurts us, 123 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: we get to decide if they are allowed back in 124 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: our lives. On strike one. You don't have to wait 125 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: until strike three or four or five or six or 126 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: seven or eight or nine. You can have one thing 127 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: happened and you'd be like, I'm I'm not that's not 128 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: for me. I think that everybody just wants to be 129 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: a good person, and we want to give people the 130 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. And I say everybody if that's 131 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: just me, but I know that I always want to 132 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: give people the benefit of the doubt because there's just 133 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: part of me that that wants to believe that everybody 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: in insittically is good and everybody can be born good 135 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: and people can be bad for us. So the other 136 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: thing is to essentially cut people out of our lives. 137 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: They don't have to have a personality disorder. They can 138 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: just be somebody that doesn't fit well with what we 139 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: need and what we can handle on what feels right 140 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: to us. But that's kind of a whole different conversation. 141 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: So this really comes down to boundaries. It sounds like 142 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: this person already made the decision that they don't want 143 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: this person in their lives, but the letters keep coming in. 144 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: So again, you do whatever you need to do to 145 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: feel safe. You block email, you return to sender the letters, 146 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: or you throw them out. Do not read these letters. 147 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: This is where like I'm like bordering on I don't 148 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: give people advice. If I was going to give you advice, 149 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: do not read these letters, because, like I said, words 150 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: of affirmation might be you're like love language, and they 151 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: know what to say, how to say it, when to 152 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: say it, and this can become a trap for you 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: if you do the so over and over, these letters 154 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: can become like junk mail that you're just like, oh, 155 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: this thing again, and you get rid of it. This 156 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: thing again, and you get rid of it. People that 157 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: have narcissistic personality disorder are usually very, very very intelligent. 158 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: They are cunning, they are manipulative. They know what to do, 159 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: when to do it, how to do it. They know 160 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: how to pull emotions without getting their emotions involved, but 161 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: they know how to make you think their emotions are involved. 162 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: And they know you probably well enough to know what 163 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: to say, how to say it, and how to make 164 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: you think that just maybe you should give in. And 165 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: they also have a beautiful way of making it look 166 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: like things are your fault, like all of a sudden, 167 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: you feel all this guilt because you're the one making 168 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: it impossible for you to have a loving relationship with 169 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: this person, and you have to remember, Nope, this is 170 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: not me, and yeah, you may be the one holding 171 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: the line now, but this is a consequence to their actions, 172 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: not yours, and may I add, and this goes to 173 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: everyone about everything. You do not need people to agree 174 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: with your choices for them to be right choices you 175 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: don't you need to agree with them. That's it. So 176 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: you need to do what you need to do to 177 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: feel safe. You have to worry about your needs first 178 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and every else's needs second. And I know this is hard, 179 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: but if a relationship is costing your mental health, what's 180 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: the point of the relationship. If it's costing your mental health, 181 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: what is the point Because then you have this relationship 182 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: but you have horrible mental health. Think about it. So 183 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: to answer this question again very simply, you do what 184 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: you need to do to feel safe. The thing about 185 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: people with narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder, I should say, 186 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: is one of the things that they do so well 187 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: is play this role of this caring person. But a 188 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: mandatory trait of this disorder, of this personality disorder, is 189 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: a lack of empathy. So they may look like they 190 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: have this desire and true like care and love and 191 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: there's this hole in their heart without you, But this 192 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: is you usually a role they're playing in order to 193 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: get you back in their good graces because they need 194 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: people to look at them as these good people. That's 195 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: how they get their self worth and their value. But 196 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: it's a role, Like I'm telling you these people a 197 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: lot of times, which is so wild to think about 198 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people with narcissistic personalities or actually have 199 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: jobs and like things like nonprofits or do these do 200 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: good organizations. But this is just a way for them 201 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: to create this image of this good person. So they 202 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: might be able to do like an interview where they're 203 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: like crying and having all this like what looks like 204 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: real emotion, but they're like actors and that's actually not real. 205 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: And it's a way for them to create this image 206 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: in your head of this good person. So then when 207 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: you are like, oh, I'm doing this thing and taking 208 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: care of myself, you look back to that and you're like, 209 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: but they're so good, how could they? Of course they are, like, 210 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: of course, blah blah. I can't even say my words 211 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: straight right now because I'm just getting in the tangled 212 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: web myself. But you know what I mean. So you 213 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: just have to remember that, and you have to remember, 214 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: how do I feel in this relationship? Is this worth it? No? 215 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: That I need to do what I need to do 216 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: to feel safe. Also, if you're ever wondering how to 217 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: tell if you are in a relationship with somebody with 218 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: a personality disorder, a simple question I just asked myself, 219 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: is do I feel crazy? Huh? Then that might be 220 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: a red flag because most likely you didn't feel crazy 221 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: before this relationship. So when you start to feel crazy, 222 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: when your head starts spinning, hey, maybe this is a 223 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: red flag. So do what you need to do to 224 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: feel safe. If it feels extreme, that's okay because extreme 225 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: measures are needed to be taken when you're working with 226 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: extreme behavior. And uh, I think that does it. Think 227 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap it up there, Thank you for that question. 228 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm actually working on getting some more content and some 229 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: more episodes out around narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder and 230 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So stay tuned for that, and I 231 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: hope you guys are having the day you need to have. 232 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: I am in Disney World right now with my family. 233 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: I went actually in surprise my two little nieces. They 234 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: didn't know it was coming. Right now, as I'm recording this, 235 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet, but I'm going to surprise them, 236 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: and I'm so excited, so I hope you're having the 237 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: day that you need to have. I'm most likely I'm 238 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: having the day that I need to have, and I 239 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: will talk to you guys again on Monday.
