1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Well you're back from Hawaii and welcome to snow Apocalypse.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Wait, I'm freaking out over your in Sinc. Sweatshirt. I

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: just noticed.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Oh did you just notice that? Yeah, I got this

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: on insinc dot com If anyone is interested, they have

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: really cute merch. Actually I know.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: I was gonna say in Sync was not my first concert, obviously,

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: but A Void band was new kids on the block.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, I've.

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Always since I've been younger, I've just been like a

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: big fan of boy bands. So when I actually did

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: not want in Sync to come back though, I know

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but like when everyone was getting so

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: excited because they were going to do reunion, I thought

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: it was going to cheapen justin Timberlake, and it made

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: me upset and I didn't want to do it fair enough.

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it kind of fizzled.

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Well because I don't think there was I think they

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: were just doing it for press, like for Klicks. They

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: made a song for the Trolls album, yes, the second Trolls,

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: and then I think that was it. Yeah. I'm just

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of over the clickbait stuff, you know. Yep, anyway,

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: that's a little off topic for you guys. We are

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: experiencing major snow happening in Nashville. I don't know where

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: you guys are that are listening, but it is like

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: wild times over here in the Northeast. It's no period, truly,

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: and you actually did really come back from Hawaii into.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: This into it and I've got delayed.

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I ended up having to I didn't

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: get I was supposed to be home on I don't

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: even know what day it is anymore, on Thursday, Friday.

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: Night, last Friday, Okay, I'm sorry.

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: Sorry, Monday of this week, Monday night, and I didn't

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: get home until Tuesday morning because we flew Sunday night,

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: an overnight flight from Maui to Salt Lake City. And

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: then it was just like cancel, cancel, canceled. Everyone's flights

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 4: were getting canceled. So I had to get really creative.

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get as close to Nashville as

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 4: I could so that there I could be either in

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: like Austin or Dallas or Atlanta, a city that has

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: like I knew it wasn't going to get hit with

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 4: the snow, but right would have lots of flights to

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 4: Nashville in the morning. So that's what I ended up

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: flying into Austin and spending the night in Austin and

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: got on a very early flight to Nashville.

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: The next day.

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: So so crazy.

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: It could have been a lot worse because some people

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: were in Salt Lake City until Wednesday.

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Like, I have a friend still stuck in Puerto Rico,

52
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: which I mean, I know, WoT a tough place to

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: be stuck, but her kids are here. She and her

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: boyfriend went on like a weekend vacation for his birthday

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: and they have not been able to get back. She

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: texted me this morning and she was like, oh my god,

57
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the flights are canceled again. Oh it's crazy. And she's like,

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I know this is like I don't want

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: to whine about being stuck in Puerto Rico, but first

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: of all, it's expensive and not what I was like

61
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: thinking about thinking that I was paying for. They're saying

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: they've been there now four extra days. And then second

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: of all, she's like, my kids, like they're at home.

64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: I think they're with grandparents thankfully, but you know, she's like, one,

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I miss them too. It's just like a lot to

66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: ask my mom to do. It's just right, that's a lot.

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: Snowed in with kids too, right.

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: Exactly, I know, exactly, Like there's just a lot of

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: things to think about there. But yeah, it really kind

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: of took me off guard how much we shut down.

71
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the northern places do a

72
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: lot better with snow than we do here in Nashville,

73
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: just because it's like we don't have the equipment. We

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: don't get as much snow, so when it snows like

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: this that I don't even know how many inches we got,

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: but the whole city shuts down. Like everything I've been

77
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: having like pandemic vibe triggers like it, like all my

78
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: shoots this week went away. I have a fitting next

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: week that no packages can get delivered for, which is

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: like super stressful. It's just like weird, Like, Okay, you

81
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: got to kind of settle in. I guess I don't know,

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: there's no other choice.

83
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's wild. I mean I didn't even think about

84
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: like the fallout of like packages being built.

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's wild.

86
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's as long as we're all happy

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: and healthy, it's what are we going to do? What

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: are we going to do?

89
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: Words of wisdom from Chip doors.

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: I mean, my favorite what are we going to do?

91
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: It is what it is?

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: It is what it is that is true. Well, you

93
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: and I were talking before we got on the podcast,

94
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: and we were like, you know, this is actually kind

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: of case in point of really having to stick to

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: your guns when you set an intention, because last week

97
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: we were on the podcast and we're both you know,

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: saying our words of the year, and we're really setting

99
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: our intentions for twenty twenty four. And then earlier this

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: week I had on a numerology expert and she asked,

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, she brought up I brought up the topic

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: of the eight year because you and I had been

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: also discussing that, so she really kind of like dissected

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: that told listeners exactly what that means, and then also

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: how to work with the energy because as much as

106
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, the social media world is talking about an

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: eight year being just all about prosperity, there is more

108
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: to it and so just be it really kind of

109
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: being aware of the different energies so that you can

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: know when stuff starts to come up and you're life, oh,

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: this is here to teach me something kind of mentality.

112
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: So we've had that and then you and I were

113
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: just talking earlier and we're like, yeah, you set all

114
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: these intentions and then want, wah wah, here goes life,

115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: life happens, life, feed life, and yeah, and so how

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: do you stick to the intentions that you set when

117
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: things don't go as planned?

118
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a really good question. And I you know,

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: it's even today. I'm so I'm supposed to fly tomorrow

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: morning to Georgia for some shows this weekend and I'm

121
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: and my coworker called me this morning. She's like, I'm

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: really freaking out. I'm just going to drive this morning.

123
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: And it got me swirling and I was like, can

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 4: I get my dog to wear shit? He needs to

125
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: be I have so much that I need to do.

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: If this is just like a waterfall effect, that's going

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: to really ruin the end of my week and right,

128
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: and I finally was like, fuck it, I'm not going

129
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: to change a thing. I'm gonna see what the world

130
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: does today. I'm going to see what cards I have

131
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: tomorrow to play, and if I get if my flight

132
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: gets delayed, I'm just gonna drive in the morning and

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: I'll have to like I'll have all day to do it,

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 4: and I'll just have to drive carefully and all the things.

135
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: And you know, I think part of it is, like,

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: you know, no matter what you believe in, I just

137
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: love this phrase like let go and let God, And

138
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: because the more we try to control the things that

139
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: we can't control, the more frustrating it is. And I think,

140
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: like you said, there are lessons in everything, even when

141
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: we don't want them, even when we don't want them,

142
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 4: And you know, so I have, you know I had,

143
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 4: I've already had some challenges to what was like on paper,

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: going to be like the most fantastic beginning.

145
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: Of a year, and I you know, I've had to

146
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: look at myself.

147
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: In the mirror and be like not today, Satan like

148
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: not today, and you know I have I'm like trying

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 4: very hard to make twenty twenty four chip a very

150
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: different version than twenty twenty.

151
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: Three, where.

152
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: I let a lot of things get to me that

153
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have let get to me. And I'm just

154
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: trying to like control my own power. And I know

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: my word was explore. Yeah, So to sort of pull

156
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: this back to that, you know, I was in Maui

157
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: last week and it was fantastic, and I wish I

158
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: had made the decision to just stay.

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: You're like, guys, I'm moving to Maui.

160
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm moving to Maui.

161
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: But you know, I had there were amazing lessons. One

162
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: of my friends that I hadn't seen probably in fifteen years,

163
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: lives there. Was gravely affected by the fires. Like she

164
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: lived in Lahaina, the town that like disappeared, was wiped

165
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: off the map. Yeah, and you know it's financial, Like

166
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: they she and her partner. They're not she's not married

167
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: to the guy, but like they are basically are married.

168
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: They had a business called Gung Host Sailing. It was

169
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: this like beautiful sailboat that he had sort of built

170
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: himself and customized himself.

171
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: That it burned in the harbor.

172
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: So they were left with nothing except for this rental

173
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: property that they'd purchased a couple.

174
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: Months before, and so they've had to move into that.

175
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: And at one point they had thirteen people living in

176
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: a three bedroom because they were housing they were housing

177
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: friends and family, thirteen people, thirteen people a three bedroom,

178
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: one bath.

179
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: The one bath that is like okay, wow.

180
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so and it kind of is what it is.

181
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: And like seeing her and like reconnecting with her and

182
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: really hearing the stories from the inside, because you know,

183
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: all we've been fed is what the media is giving us.

184
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: And you know that's not a dig on the media,

185
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: just is what it is.

186
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: And then there's obviously the conspiracy theories and all the

187
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: things that you know, other people feed us.

188
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: But getting to talk to.

189
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: Her and like see how she's just kind of like

190
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: living in her peace and like leaning into she's she's

191
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: had studied Buddhism and she's leaned into that a lot.

192
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: And it's like it kind of is what it is

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: like to sit there and be mad and and sad

194
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 4: and not try to put one foot in front of

195
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: the other and figure it out. Isn't going to do

196
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: anybody any good. And so they're they're living one day

197
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: at a time, you know. I mean, she's she used

198
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: the words financial ruin. You know, it's it's a lot

199
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: like and you know, in fact, she because she was

200
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: a resident of the Lahina she lost her house and

201
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: she has a drive on pass to get into there's

202
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: only two ways into Lahina Town, the little town that

203
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: was like Front Street where all the shops and businesses

204
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: and we're like two to three thousand homes down there,

205
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: all you know, for the most part gone yea.

206
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: For the very rare like house that wasn't touched.

207
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: She they have it blockaded because it's really toxic, you know,

208
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: like it burns so hot, like the pipes on the

209
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: PVC pipes under the ground melted, that's how hot it was,

210
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: and like you know, metal was melting, like things that

211
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: like should not melt in a fire like melted. And

212
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: they are getting ready start clean up, so they're allowing

213
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: residents to go in and try and like dig through

214
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 4: stuff to see if there's anything they want to save

215
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: or like, for example, if your house had like a

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: wall around the yard, you can spray paint on it,

217
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: like keep wall so that when they do the cleanup,

218
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: they'll leave the wall so that that remains part of

219
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: your structure when you go back into rebuild. So she

220
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: had a drive on pass and she was like, do

221
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: you want to go see it? And part of me

222
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: felt really sort of like it felt morose, and I

223
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this is kind of dark, like looking

224
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: at other people's loss. But then I thought like, well shit,

225
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: no one, like my word is explore, like so few

226
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: people in the world are going to actually get to

227
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: see this, like not in photos or on video, and

228
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: so we drove in and like we left the windows up,

229
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: we had the air conditioning recycling, so we weren't breathing

230
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: the air that was on the outside, and we didn't

231
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: get out of the car. But I mean, it was

232
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: just like it was a lesson. She was like, there's

233
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: my house. All that was standing was like a really

234
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: burnt like washer dryer unit everything else, and then there

235
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: was some cinder block that didn't burn. And it's like,

236
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: it's crazy. And to see her resilience and the hope

237
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 4: that these people still have about rebuilding is it was

238
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: a it was a lesson to sort of just absorb

239
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: and know that like having a couple of flights cancel

240
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: doesn't really fucking mean.

241
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: Shit one hundred persons, you know, like it.

242
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 2: Does mean anything.

243
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: So it's like, but I I catch myself like getting

244
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: really stressed and putting a lot of like value in these.

245
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: Things, and I'm just like, I'm a let go on, like.

246
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: God this year and try and you know, make the

247
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: best of whatever cards I'm dealt. And so so that's

248
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: sort of where I'm coming at this week with all

249
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: this craziness that's surrounding us and it's no one could

250
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: control this.

251
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: No, this is no one's fault.

252
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

253
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a part of getting older,

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: or if it's because we experience something like a pandemic

255
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: where in our lifetime where everything just stopped and there

256
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: was literally no control. I mean, I think some people

257
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe kept their jobs, and we've talked about this a lot,

258
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of us didn't, and so there was

259
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: just everything that you kind of thought you maybe had

260
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: power over or control over, you quickly realized during that

261
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: time like you didn't, and so you have no option, right.

262
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: And I think even in the following years, it's been

263
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: this thing of people being like, oh, it's you know,

264
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: life's going to go back to normal, and it's like

265
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: there is no old normal there that will ever exist again.

266
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Like we are continuing to see that life is just

267
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: different now and it will continue to be, I believe,

268
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: And things like that fire and MAUI are the perfect

269
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: example of a lot of the natural disasters we've experienced

270
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: and whatever you believe, if you believe that that is

271
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: just fluke, or if you believe like me, like there's

272
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: the universe is intentionally doing this to like help us evolve.

273
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: As humans and to kind of bring us back to

274
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: the bigger picture of why we're all here. Whatever it is,

275
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: it's happening and you can't deny it, Like that is

276
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: something what you saw in MAUI I haven't experienced seeing

277
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: a fire, but where I'm from, we have floods, you know,

278
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: after hurricanes and stuff, and my grandparents lost their house

279
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: completely in a flood and their whole neighborhood went away.

280
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: And I've never experienced devastation like that. And I don't

281
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: think that like seeing it on the news, you know.

282
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are lucky enough to

283
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: never have to experience that in a lifetime. But when

284
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: you see it face to face like that, and it

285
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: kind of can sink into your brain of the loss,

286
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: like the amount of loss, but you look around at

287
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: the people and they're like, yeah, but we're alive. Like

288
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: you start to really value the basic things in life

289
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: that we take for granted on a day to day constantly.

290
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: And like you said, if she's into the Buddhist stuff,

291
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's like, we don't know if this

292
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: is good or bad. It's like it happened, it is

293
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: what it is, but it's how you deal with it

294
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: and how it teaches you and how you treat people

295
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: through it and the things that you learn and gain

296
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: actually from it.

297
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, she it was. It was interesting too because

298
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: obviously they lost everything. I mean it was whatever they

299
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: could carry out was what they kept. And you know,

300
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: there's we we we would be like talking about a

301
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: memory or something.

302
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: She'd be like, oh, yeah I had those book Nope, those.

303
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: Are burnt too, and can even remember everything that she's

304
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: lost because it is all gone.

305
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's like building and in a way,

306
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: it's like she can she sees it as a bit

307
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: of a like freeing to there's you know, there's some rhythm.

308
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: It's stuff that she has, her life, she has, the

309
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: people she loves, and it's like when you get broken

310
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: down to that, I think, you go, wow, this is

311
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: what actually matters, Like this is what's important.

312
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: So you've still been able to explore though it sounds like.

313
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: Oh and then you know she took me on so

314
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: my our last day, my last it was Sunday, and

315
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: my flight wasn't until nine pm, and.

316
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: I didn't have any sort of work obligations.

317
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: So she picked me up in the morning and like

318
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: took me to a local beach and showed me or

319
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: surf beaches and took me to the best sandwich shop

320
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: and we went up and she was like, do you

321
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: want to like get in the river? And I was like,

322
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: there's a river and she was like, yeah, there's a

323
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: river in Malley. It's you know, it's basically that brings

324
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: the water down from the mountains. It was freezing, but

325
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: like I got to we like hiked the river and

326
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: I got in and it was really.

327
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Fucking cold cold. Yeah. Yeah, I went all the way

328
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: up like.

329
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: It wasn't deep enough to like just go in, like

330
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: you had to slowly like sit down on these rocks

331
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: with the flowing water.

332
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: And then I like yeah, wad back and it was

333
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: like that was all I needed. I'm out. It woke

334
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: me up. I was like I'm getting out of here.

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: You got it.

336
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, she she was able to show.

337
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: Me like sides of like the non tourist side of

338
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: of Malae, which was really beautiful. I mean it's like

339
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: the the landscape is just unbelieve.

340
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: You can't believe it seeds. It's just not really not.

341
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Even Yeah, it looks like a postcard.

342
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's like it's like what you know Disney

343
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: tries to build when you're like going on a ride

344
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: and it's like is this real or did Disney come

345
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 4: in and build this?

346
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

347
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: So beautiful.

348
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: But to me that just sounds like the thing that

349
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: keeps going in my head is like that is truly

350
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: living what you just described to me. You were in

351
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: the present moment, just enjoying the beauty that the universe,

352
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: like those moments where you see what the universe can

353
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: create and it's so beautiful that it looks fake. Does

354
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: that not make you go? Okay? If you try to

355
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: tell me that there's something bigger than me that creates

356
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: all this, Like whatever it is you believe in, how

357
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: can you deny though? Like when you stand next to

358
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: an ocean when you're I was in the desert two

359
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago and I was just like looking around at

360
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: these big, huge boulders, like and just the vastness of

361
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: the desert just like you could it went on as

362
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: far as I could see, and I just remember being like,

363
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: this is that feeling when you see the mountains whatever

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: it is that it's just like I cannot deny that

365
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: there is something so much bigger than me. A higher

366
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: power of some kind that creates this, because like I

367
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: couldn't make this shit.

368
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: No, no, it's and it's unbelievable. It's like, yeah, when

369
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 4: you see these the ravines and these like just mountain

370
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: sides that are straight up and there's trees growing on them,

371
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 4: like life is happening, you know, Like it's the willingness

372
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: for all of these organisms to just survive and live.

373
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: We're just at one of those organisms and accepting the

374
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: beauty and the complexity and all the things of life

375
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: is truly the only way to survive it and to

376
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: thrive and to regenerate and all of the things. And

377
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 4: you know, I left there being like, you know what,

378
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: I could sell my house tomorrow and go live on

379
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: a beach and have to live frugally for the rest

380
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 4: of my life. But I know that there is a

381
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 4: heaven that is like on earth right now that I

382
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: could live and not have to deal with the stresses

383
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: of the rat race that we put ourselves in. But

384
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: we do it because it's what we want to do,

385
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 4: or we do it because it's something that we feel

386
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 4: like we need to do.

387
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: Programming, it's what we all believe we have to do.

388
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 4: Right right, But it's really an amazing feeling when you

389
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: recognize like you don't need any of it, you know, like, yeah,

390
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: all right there, I could have put a cup in

391
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 4: that stream and drank that water and been fine. You know,

392
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: it's like the freshest, cleanest water coming from the mountaintops

393
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: of Maui.

394
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: I just think it's so to me, the thing that

395
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: keeps popping out is that you experienced seeing such like

396
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: great devastation and such beauty in one trip. You know,

397
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: you saw both sides of it, which I think is

398
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: like such a good metaphor for life in general. And

399
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: sometimes it is through that deep devastation that we end

400
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: up finding the greatest joy.

401
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: Right.

402
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: So it's like you experienced it in a couple of

403
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: days of just like the two completely opposite things, and

404
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: that's just like that is a life summary right there.

405
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: Well, and seeing like the grass starting to grow back

406
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: in Lahino, or like buds on trees or plants that

407
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: are starting to flower, it's like it will come it

408
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: like life will go on and nature, you know, it's

409
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: we have to remind ourselves that we are part of nature. Like, yeah,

410
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: we do a lot to sort of fuck with nature

411
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: and and and rail against it and get a nature's way,

412
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: but like, in the end, nature will win and life

413
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: will continue whether or not we're here. So I think

414
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 4: it's it's really important for us to recognize that, like

415
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: we should do everything that we can to support nature

416
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: and and just thrive.

417
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and enjoy take it in and enjoy in the moment,

418
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: like to be present in that. Like, actually, I'm looking

419
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: out my window right now, and it looks really fucking

420
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: cold outside, that's for one. But I've never had snow

421
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: in my yard stick this long. Like it is really beautiful.

422
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it is weird to be sort of like

423
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: trapped inside, but whenever I look outside, I did go

424
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: walk in my neighborhood. I almost busted like four times

425
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: yesterday trying to fall.

426
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: It's just icy. Yeah.

427
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: But and I'm like such a Louisiana girl, Like I

428
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: just it's like, no matter how long I've lived here

429
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: and we've just now in Nashville, I feel like consistently

430
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: started to get one big snow storm a year, and

431
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: so I'm still like, you know, like I feel like

432
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: a bird learning how to walk right, right, But yeah,

433
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: it really is so beautiful and it is kind of

434
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: what you make of it.

435
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it's for those who don't know,

436
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: like we they're saying we got a year's worth of

437
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 4: snow in less than twenty four hours in Nashville. Yeah,

438
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: and I mean I probably have got seven or eight

439
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: inches at my house. Oh yeah, and I haven't touched

440
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: My dog's gone in the backyard, but I haven't been

441
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: out there, so it's still really pristine and beautiful.

442
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: I think tonight's gonna run it though, because it's gonna

444
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 4: be a mix of like rain.

445
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: And rain and ice and yeah, weirdness. Well, my word

446
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: was discipline, and so that was a really interesting one

447
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: to go into this week, which because I had all

448
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: these plans, you know, I was like, Okay, well, i'm

449
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna be consistent with my workouts and i'm gonna get

450
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: up in the morning and i'm gonna do this. I'm

451
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: gonna do X, I'm gonna do Y, and again the

452
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: universe is like, yo, bitch, just when you think you're

453
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: in control, We're gonna go ahead and switching things up

454
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: for you and see how you Dyoh but it you know,

455
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: it's been interesting because I would say that I've still

456
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: it was really cool to me when you were like,

457
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about this because I want to tell this story.

458
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: Because I thought to myself, well, that's really interesting because

459
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: I've been doing that as well with my word, like

460
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: still trying to apply it amongst a weird situation and

461
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a chaotic situation is what it feels

462
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: like because everything gets canceled and everyone goes into panic

463
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: mode and everyone's trying to reschedule and then it's like,

464
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: you know whatever. It's all the things. But the weird

465
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: thing about my word, it wasn't like okay, So the workouts,

466
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I've still worked out every day, like I've you know,

467
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I've made myself get off the couch and actually do

468
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: my things. I will have you guys know. I did

469
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: finally clean out my closet upstairs. So there are some pluses,

470
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: like I'm starting to organize. I'm getting my office straight

471
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: as well. I've been talking about that for years basically,

472
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: but specifically the last couple months on the podcast. We've

473
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: been talking about it, and this kind of is the

474
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: thing that it took for me to actually do it

475
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: because I'm just stuck in here. So that's good. But

476
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: the main thing that I'm finding that I'm really like

477
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 1: trying to have discipline with which isn't something I'm always

478
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: aware of is my mind. And the big thing with

479
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: this week was like, first of all, I'm like I

480
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: have the most massive PMS so and all my girls

481
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: out there, No, like, sometimes your mind is the hardest

482
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: part of because things will start happening and you like,

483
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: like in your brain you make up a scenario and

484
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: it feels so fucking real, like or you've you know,

485
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: someone says something to you and you personalize it and

486
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: it's like the normal things that you can maybe get

487
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: yourself out of, or that like chip if you heard

488
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: you would be like, wait, what that upset you? It's

489
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: just like so upsetting when you're pmssing, And that's the

490
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: best way I can explain it. But so being trapped

491
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: in your house while pmssing and not being able to

492
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: see a human and like kind of having like triggers

493
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: of the pandemic where work is starting to go away.

494
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: Luckily in this situation it's coming back. But like there

495
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: were all the recipes for disaster for my brain, is

496
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So my discipline has been okay. When

497
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: I go to a negative thought. I have been really

498
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: trying to focus on catching myself in that and I

499
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: make myself say five things I'm grateful for, because you

500
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: know that thing where it's like you can't have gratitude

501
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: and anxiety at the same time, like it's humanly impossible.

502
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: And the day before the snowstorm hit, I was driving

503
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: home and I was at the stoplight nearest my house,

504
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: and there's it's like a main road, and so there's

505
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: one or two homeless people that'll sometimes come out there

506
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: and like ask for money. And this woman that's out

507
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: there a lot actually came up to my car, which

508
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: threw me because she usually just sits on her corner,

509
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, but she walked up to my car and

510
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: it startled me so bad that I like waved her away,

511
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: and I have not been able to stop thinking about

512
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: her all week. Like I'm just like devastated by it,

513
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, because I like kind of caught eyes with her,

514
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: but I was like so stressed out in the moment

515
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: for some reason, Like it threw me so bad, and

516
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: then light turned green and I just drove away and

517
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: then I'm like, where is she this week? You know,

518
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Like it's so cold outside. I think like there was

519
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: one day that it got to zero degrees here, and

520
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: I just keep thinking about the people who I don't

521
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: have homes, like I'm just like really upset by it,

522
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: you know. And so anyway, whenever I get a negative

523
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: thought stuck in this house, literally, I just say to myself,

524
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: like I have a roof over my head, I have heat,

525
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: I have food in my refrigerator. It doesn't matter anything

526
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: that happens, Like my basic needs are provided for today

527
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: and I'm super lucky to have that because not everyone does.

528
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: And so it's kind of put me back in that

529
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: space of whatever. And then speaking of the homeless people,

530
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: I did post on my Instagram a place that you

531
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: guys can go donate, especially if you're local in Nashville,

532
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: but it's like home Street, Home, Tennessee is the one

533
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: I posted. But anyway, like, yeah, thinking about these people,

534
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, why do we get to come?

535
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Why did I come to this lifetime? And why do

536
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: I have a house that I live in? And why

537
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: does she not? Like I can't get that out of

538
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: my head. And it's just like not taking that kind

539
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: of shit for granted and getting stuff like I'm such

540
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: a feeler. So sometimes I just have the big feelings

541
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: are just overwhelming and I can get lost in them,

542
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: and I just am not letting myself do that this

543
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: week because ultimately, like there is just so much more

544
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: to be grateful for. So I still have applied my

545
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: word as well, and it's more about like a mental

546
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: game than I thought it would be. But I think

547
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: that's actually when I really look back, I'm like, isn't

548
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: that what everything with discipline is? Though? It's just like

549
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: not letting yourself go to the place of I can't

550
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: do it, I will, I don't want to do it.

551
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: It's just like stepping into it instead anyway, And this

552
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: week mine has been like I'm gonna stay grateful even

553
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: when I start to be like, wow, you know, my

554
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: packages aren't coming in and I'm stressed.

555
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 2: It's so easy to talk yourself out of things.

556
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's yourself into the negative.

557
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: And you know, it's.

558
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: The job that we the jobs that we do throw

559
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 4: curveballs all the time. So it's it can be very

560
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 4: difficult to like properly manage your time, and that in

561
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: and of itself is challenging and can make sort of

562
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: a domino effect where you're like, oh, well, then I'm

563
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 4: going to let that thing go and I don't have

564
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 4: time to get to the gym, or I don't have

565
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: time to put myself a healthy meal or whatever. But

566
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 4: when you actually have the discipline to like do what

567
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 4: you need to do to take care of yourself, it

568
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 4: feels really good.

569
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: At the end of the day I've been sleeping. You

570
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: achieve it.

571
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's so interesting because I have gone to bed

572
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: every night with a sense of satisfaction because I've kept

573
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: kept true to what I said I was going to do.

574
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: And what I'm realizing is when you say you're going

575
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: to do something and you follow through with it, it

576
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: really is an act of love to yourself, right. It's

577
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: like the most loving thing we can do to keep

578
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: showing up for yourself. You know, you don't abandon yourself

579
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: with what you said. It's like, I know I can

580
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: count on myself right now, and that actually is giving

581
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: me a sense of self worth and value. And then

582
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: I want to go do that with every other relationship

583
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: I have or give it to other people, and it

584
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: does just kind of keep you in a much I

585
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to say happier it's Yeah,

586
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: I guess it's like a happier, more positive mindset because

587
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: again you're remembering the basics, you know, like not getting

588
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: wrapped up in the shit that like you said, the

589
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we're so lucky to have the jobs we have,

590
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: even though sometimes they are stressful, like everyone's job is.

591
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: It's just like I don't know, but I will say this.

592
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: One of the other things I learned was that like

593
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: the pandemic I think really taught me in a new

594
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: way to EBB and flow, but also to do crisis management.

595
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: Like it's like, so the package of them talking about

596
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: and I know this probably sounds really minuscule to a

597
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of people, but I have a client going to

598
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: the Grammys, and like that's stressful because as much as

599
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: it might not seem like it matters because it's closed,

600
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Like of course it matters in the celebrity world, you know,

601
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: and like everyone's judged on that, and you want your

602
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: client to be happy and them to feel great and

603
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: all the things, and like I want to be able

604
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: to do my job at the best of my ability.

605
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: And so immediately I went into like, Okay, do we

606
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: need to have a backup schedule, Like trying to reschedule

607
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: stuff that works with his plans when he's in town

608
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: and they have a lot of other demanding things, and

609
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: like a fitting is just one of the many things

610
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: on an artist's schedule, and you know, it's just managing

611
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: it all. And I just immediately was able to do

612
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: some things that I probably wouldn't have even thought to

613
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: do after, you know, before the pandemic. I mean, so

614
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: right now we have new tools. Look at us, Look.

615
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: At us, at us.

616
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, I mean it's iterating is really important. And

617
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 4: I think all aspects of life because of the unknown,

618
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: you know, like yeah, and the unknown is a constant.

619
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: So I think it's it's not just when it snows

620
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: or when there's a pandemic. It's like there's always the

621
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: known that is lurking out there, and I think we

622
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: have to sort of welcome it. And I kind of

623
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 4: like I thrive under sort of that sort of pressure,

624
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: which is not a which is a good thing because

625
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: I need to have that tool, but it also allows

626
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: me it causes me to procrastinate a bit because I

627
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 4: know that I thrive under like last minute pressure. So

628
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: you know, I constantly am working on being better about

629
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: getting further ahead of things and making sure things are

630
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: done further in advance so that I don't have to

631
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: thrive under pressure pressure constantly. Yeah, it's just everything is

632
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: squared away. But that said, I think, you know, we

633
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: all have to be open to the unknown and be

634
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: willing to sort of navigate it when it comes our way.

635
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Also, it's good just to circle back to the beginning

636
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: of the podcast. It's like to be open to the unknown,

637
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: but also because that's where all the lessons are anyway,

638
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: so you know, we could miss this moment right now,

639
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: And that was what I wanted to do at the

640
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the week. And then the further that the

641
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: week has gone and the more I've like really settled into, yeah,

642
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: you're not leaving this house this week, probably the easier

643
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: it's gotten to kind of pay attention to, Oh shit,

644
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: I am wanting to go negative again, and like how

645
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: do I remember? Like yeah, like I'm sitting here with

646
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: a blanket on my lap right now with a roof

647
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: over my head, and like that is something to really

648
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: be grateful for this week, So yes, get out of

649
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: your shit, go be disciplined and do something, and like

650
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: that's it's just been really helpful. I don't know. So anyway,

651
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: if you guys have any ways that you're sticking to

652
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: your words this year, I think that was kind of

653
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: our point today was just we just wanted to come back,

654
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: go on and go Okay, we sent these intentions and

655
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: then the universe was like ha ha, gotcha and through

656
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: through us some new like kind of ways that we

657
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: weren't expecting. And then how do you stick to it?

658
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: Because I think that's probably what's going to happen throughout

659
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: the year anyway, and that's what's continued to happen in

660
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. That's fucking life, right, So yeah,

661
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: learning to ab and flow with it and stick to

662
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: what your intentions are still though, and just finding new

663
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: ways to do that.

664
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that.

665
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: I'm it's a challenge for me because I'm I'm I'm

666
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: one of those people that like constantly I used to

667
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: make these like resolution lists that were like twenty five

668
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: things long, like completely unrealistic, completely unrealistic.

669
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: And I find that just like narrowing it down to

670
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: one word and.

671
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: Trying to make decisions based on that goal, yeah, is

672
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: a much easier thing to do because I put them

673
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: in my phone so I can look back at what

674
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 4: my resolutions were a twenty fifteen, you know, and it's

675
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: it's just crazy because it's like on sixteen and seventeen

676
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 4: and hates right because.

677
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: You didn't actually I didn't do on me. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
