1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: So I'm actually really glad that we pre decided this 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: topic because I have just had this like a day 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: and I was sort of in a fun because I 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: don't feel good. Yeah, and the weather is like nothing 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: that's like very inspiring right now. Yeah, it's so here 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: in Nashville, it's been really rainy, like tornado kind of rainy, 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: really cold. And then I started this testosterone badge. You know, 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: everyone keeps being like this. Yeah, my boyfriend gives me like, 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: do you need chest here yet? Know, your mustache looks great, thanks, 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: I groomed it before you got here. No, I really don't. 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: But it's made me super nauseous, like I feel like 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: I have morning sickness. Yeah, so that's fun. What is 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: the testosterone patch too? It's you know, I told you 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: about the last round that I did egg freezing. It 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: didn't produce enough eggs, and so we're doing all of 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: this priming stuff before now and it's just like they're 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: pumping me full of even more hormones. Yeah so chicken, 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Cock. But anyway, you you had email, I 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: don't know. I just feel like my mom right now 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: because I think you texted me and I was gonna say, 21 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: you emailed me, um, but you texted me earlier in 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: the week and you were like, I just listened to 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: this song. I actually think I have a topic for 24 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: this week's at Casual. I mean, did I listen to it? 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: I listened to this song probably for two hours on repeat. 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: What I don't you know sometimes so like particularly like 27 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: a well written, like country song that you can like 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: it's like a movie playing in your mind. And it 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: just was so moving because it made me think. It's 30 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: a song called everyone go listen to it. It's Haley Witters. 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: The song is called Janice at the Hotel Bar, and Um, 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: It's just it's one of those songs that made me 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: think of my mom. It made me think of my grandmother. 34 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: It just made me think growing up in the South, 35 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Like there's so many I've got friends who are, you know, 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: younger versions of these women that just like say the 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: funniest shit, but it's like they always have these amazing 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: life lessons like Dolly Parton would do or you know 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: it's um And so I actually know Haley and I 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: texted her to ask her if Janice was real. So 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: hold on a second, because I listened to the song too. 42 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: So I know, so I think we need to give 43 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: the listeners a little bit of backstory here. The main 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: line of the song is make a good living, but 45 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: don't forget to make a good life, and the song 46 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: breaks down different kind of life advice. Excuse me, did 47 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: you want to mute your phone? Sorry? The pattern just 48 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: sent me a message with a pattern that's a whole 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: another topic. Um. So it's about though, the life advice 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: that she's learned over the years. And she's Janice, This 51 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: lady Janice is giving this advice, right, And so you 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: sound like you had quite the moment listening like it 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: was just it just really reson do with me, and 54 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: it's you know, I don't know, it's like my mom's 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: getting older, and it's my grand I don't have my 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: grandmother's no longer here, and it's you know, you it 57 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: it really just sort of brought that to the surface, 58 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: like thinking about like the moment that you might not 59 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: have that advice anymore, you might not have those people 60 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: around you to say those things that like shine such 61 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: like a perfect light on you know. And then I 62 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: was thinking, like, God, all of these topics are sort 63 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: of at casual moments. It's you know, it's like that's 64 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: when you need your mom the most, your grandmother the most. 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: Is like when you're dealing with something that generally doesn't 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: really matter right in the grand scheme of life. Yeah, 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: it's like, um, and you know, this was just this 68 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: is just a story that happened to be partly true. 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: And this woman, the janis, is a real person and 70 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: it was about a chance encounter and she said a 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: lot of like really interesting small town pieces of advice 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: or stories to the one of the songwriters, or not 73 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: to one of the songwriters, but to someone that inspired 74 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: the song. So um, you know, I hit you up 75 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and thought like, wouldn't it be funny if we could 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: talk to some friends or do some research to like 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: find some great pieces of southern advice. Um, well, because 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: what we said earlier today too is like your grandmother 79 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: or your grandfather, the older generation in general, they're basically 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: the definition of acting casual, right, Like they've gotten to 81 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: the point in their life where they're like, Okay, all 82 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: that bullshit that you guys are worrying about every day, 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: it does not matter. And like here's X, Y and Z, 84 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: here's a statement that's about to knock your socks off 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: and really put things into perspective. Yeah, I mean they are. 86 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: All they're doing is living at that point, you know, 87 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: and they're able to look back at what their life 88 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: has created in this family that it's you know, they're 89 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: the matriarchs and patriarchs of and be proud of all 90 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: of those moments of good times, the bad times, all 91 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: of it lead them there and they can say there 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: and look back with pride and and you know that 93 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: it's there's nothing that like their children and grandchildren are 94 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: going to go through that they haven't survived absolutely, and 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's every day like I find a 96 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: problem that I think it's going to never end from 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: my life, and I have friends that go through things 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: and we all get through them, you know. I mean 99 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: my grandmother would say to you, this too shall pass, 100 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: This too shall pass. It is true. As I started 101 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: thinking too, I'm like, what are the things that I 102 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: can think of from my family? And of course I 103 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: can think of all the funny things, but when you 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: actually think of the advice, it's a little trickier. I 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: feel like those are the things that comes to you 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: in the moments, like when you're living your life and 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, but grandma said, right, but right now, 108 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to think of all my can'ts because 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: it's all out of context right now. Yeah, exactly. So 110 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: we both did a little research and we found some funny, 111 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: humorous and just like, to me, some really good life 112 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of lessons. Would you call them lessons? Yeah? Like points? Points? Um, okay, 113 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and start with I found this article 114 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: on things dot com, which I've never heard of. Every 115 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: time we're doing research for this, I'm like, wow, the 116 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: new website. Never heard of that one. There's so much 117 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: information out there, so much information on the world Wide 118 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: Web Web. This one I thought was actually great for 119 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: people with kids. I don't have kids yet, but I 120 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: can totally imagine this moment they said. Um, the girl said, 121 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: my grandmother used to always say, you don't have to 122 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: like your children, but you always have to love them. 123 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean, amen, right right, because think about when they're 124 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: being a little ship, little assholes like I can remember 125 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: the first time I told my mom I hated her. 126 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: And I didn't hate I've never hated my mom, but 127 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I knew it would hurt yes on purpose? Oh yeah, yeah, 128 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: what a calculated little asshole I was. I'm sure in 129 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: that moment she was like that motherfucker. Well, you know, 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't it's she I don't recall her like letting 131 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: me know that it hurt. But I'm sure she cried 132 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: herself to sleep that night, you know, because my sister 133 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: has kids now too, and she told me about the 134 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: first time that her daughter did something like that. And 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: it's breaker. Yeah, it breaks you because it also like 136 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: it's proof that your kids kind of growing up. Yeah, 137 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: points so, or just I think about the times where 138 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: they're just not listening or they're running around, Wow, they've 139 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: had way too much sugar, Like just those things when 140 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: you're like you haven't slept, yes, and you're not. You're 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: not getting to address all those other stressful things in 142 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: your life because you're worried about them, right exactly. So 143 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: you don't always have to like them, but you always 144 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: have to love them. And she said, just remember that 145 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: even when they piss you off, just to show them love. 146 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's a great I think that's really 147 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: can do it. Yes, it's a great one. I like 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: that one. Um. I also did some reason. I've got 149 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: a few that I'm going to do like. Some of 150 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: them are from friends. Some of them I read a 151 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: BuzzFeed article. Some of them might be Dolly pardon who 152 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: knows dollar of Southern advice. Yes, but this particular one 153 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: I think is great. Um it was submitted to I've 154 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: found it on an article on BuzzFeed and it was 155 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: submitted by a man and it says, when I was 156 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: ten years old, I wanted a barbie. My great grandmother said, 157 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: if it isn't hurting anyone and it makes you happy, 158 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: then do it, because in a hundred years nobody will 159 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: give a good goddamn anyway. I mean, she bought me 160 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the barbie, and I really miss her. I mean, if 161 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: that's not the truest statement ever the yes ever, like 162 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: act casual and also be yourself, like that's just you 163 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: do you boo, and like okay for for a true point. 164 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the gay world is being 165 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: way more accepted. I just assumed he's gay. Is that funny? 166 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean I would I kind of assumed. I don't 167 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: know that's fair or not, but okay, if you like 168 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: to play with barbies, it's probably way more accepted now. 169 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: Like there's no gender assignments, like they're used to be, 170 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, or it's becoming a lot less prevalent. And 171 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: so she was right for that for a factual nature. 172 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: Also though in a hundred years, like, no one's going 173 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: to car about any of the ship that you did 174 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: when you were a kid. Like, play with what you 175 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: want to play with, have fun, enjoy your life. Go 176 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: great Grandma. Amen. Um, this one's one. Worrying. Worrying is 177 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, 178 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: but it gets you nowhere. Mic Drop, Mike Drop. I 179 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: love that analogy. Though in my head, I mean, I'm 180 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: the biggest warrior. But if you think about worrying, you're 181 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: really doing exactly what you're doing in a rock and chair. 182 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: You're just going back and forth and back and forth, 183 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: but you're not going anywhere. You're just wasting to progress. Yeah, 184 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: although I do love a rock and chair, I also 185 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: love a rocking chair. So we'll keep that in a 186 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: It's just it's a nice visual, yeah, because isn't that 187 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: That's what That's literally what my brain does. It's just 188 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: like and forth and back and forth. Yeah, And I 189 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: mean oftentimes when I find that, like I'm worried about something, 190 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: the only thing that makes it better is just putting 191 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: it in the of you, like getting past it, doing 192 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: something and it's the outcome is never what you sit 193 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: around and think that it's going to be. Um. I 194 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: liked this one too. Tell us when life gives you lemons, 195 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: make lemonade, which we've all heard, but the good grandmother says, 196 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: and then go hang out with someone whose life gave 197 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: them vodka. I've heard, I've heard. And then at vodka, 198 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: but I love go hang out with someone who's left 199 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: whoever that person is, that grandma drop some vodka on them. Um. 200 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: I had a funny one in relation to that I 201 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: was trying to find. I'll get back to that one. 202 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: This is a really good one. I thought about aging 203 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: because okay, we're in our third well oops oop see 204 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: sorry to the other side the dark set. Well I'm 205 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: not yet, but I feel every year like, oh man, 206 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm just getting older. And I think I've noticed is 207 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: the most in business where I will tell myself you're 208 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: too old to try that, you know, like trying something new, 209 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: kind of mentality, like you've reached a certain point too late, sister. 210 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: And this this grandma said, Um, whenever you're feeling too 211 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: old to try something new. She said, as soon as 212 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: you feel too old to do something, do it. Like 213 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: that actually means you should do it. And it's probably 214 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: not as much business related as much as life related, 215 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: but like you feel too old to go jump on 216 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: that traveline, you better go jump on that trampline. Well, 217 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: and it's funny because in doing my research, Dolly has 218 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: a quote that's similar to that. Yeah, I'm not going 219 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact 220 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: that I can do something else. Wait, say that again. 221 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: She says, I'm not going to limit myself just because 222 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: people won't accept the fact that I can do something else. Yes, 223 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: because they just put her in a box, right she is. 224 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: I mean, so it's sort of the same thing. It's 225 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: like self doubt versus overcoming what other people think about you. 226 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: But it's still the same thing, like, don't limit yourself. 227 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: You're not You're not one dimensional. I think that is 228 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: very age related to because if you get to a 229 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: certain point in your career, certain age, people definitely said 230 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: they want to keep you there. And that's I love that. Dolly. 231 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: Think it also works in the inverse. You know, it's 232 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: it's just looking at elections right now. We have a 233 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: lot of people like that are running for president that are, 234 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, in their seventies, and then we have someone 235 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: who's not even forty, and a lot of what you 236 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: hear about him is he's too young to run the country, 237 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's just an agist thing. It's yeah, 238 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that he's any less qualified just because 239 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: of his age. So um, what's another funny one that 240 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: I had? So this one's about a grandma that's that 241 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: smokes weed. This one was in that same BuzzFeed article. 242 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: It's when my eighty nine year old grandma was in 243 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: the hospital. She found a pair of surgical scissors and 244 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: told me these are good for holding your roach, and 245 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: then she put them in her purse. Oh my god, 246 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: because if you've seen old ladies smoke like that so 247 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: good they hold it at the end of their cigarette. 248 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: I mean the scissors. Wow for you, grandma. I've never 249 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: tried that method. I mean she's nine, So yeah, look 250 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: at Willie Nelson. I mean, I must be doing something right, right. 251 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I found the one that I was talking about with 252 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: the alcohol. This is about preventing digestive issues. This grandma 253 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: said for better digestion, I drink beer. In the case 254 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: of appetite loss, I drink white wine. In the case 255 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: of low bred blood pressure. Why is that so hard 256 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: for me to say? In the case of low blood pressure, 257 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: I drink red wine. In the case of high blood pressure, 258 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: I drink Scotch. And when I have a cold, I 259 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: drink snaps. And so her granddaughter said, when do you 260 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: drink water? And she goes, Honey, I've never been that sick. 261 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I loved it, you know. It's it's funny, like my 262 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: parents are both retired now, and um, I feel like 263 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: their life sort of revolves around drinking. Now, my parents 264 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: were always like my parents were always like really fun 265 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: and drank and like we're sort of party parents, not 266 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: like irresponsible party parents, but like, I mean, what else 267 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: do they have to do, but like drink and hang 268 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: out with friends. And it's it's they talk about drinking 269 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: all the time. Like so that sounds so much like 270 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: what's something my mother is going to say? And she's 271 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: like like treating her illnesses with alcohol. Um. So I 272 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: was talking to a friend today and told her what 273 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: we were going to be talking about, and she said 274 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: that apparently she's dated a lot of men and divorced 275 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: a few herself, and her mother said to her that 276 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: she needs to start asking for an I Q and 277 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: a W two. Oh my god, it's so good, so 278 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: good Q and a W two. I think that should 279 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: be on a T shirt. D Like, unless you have 280 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: an I Q and W two, don't come talk to me. Exactly, 281 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: no one thought catalog dot Com. They were talking about 282 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the small little like tricks that their grandmother's taught him, 283 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: and one one girl was like, if I'd never had 284 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: my shower curtain closed, my grandmother would freak out because 285 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: she was like on getting murdered, you know in your bathroom, 286 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: always checked behind a closed shower curtain before you go 287 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: to the bathroom. So no, it's so it's if she 288 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: did have it closed, she would walk in the bathroom 289 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: and like, peek behind it. I do that to you. Yeah, 290 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: but her grandmother has like, hell, yeah it is you 291 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: ever watch any serial killer movies? But yeah, yeah, like advice, 292 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: but it's like a funny little note to take, like, look, 293 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I probably just scared people. Another. No one's gonna go 294 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: at night, everyone's gonna rip their shower curtains down. And 295 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: this is a very Southern thing. Um, and it's it's 296 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: sort of a play on like a very common piece 297 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: of Southern advice. But I like how this one's wrapped up. 298 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: If you can't say something nice, disguise it as something nice. Okay, 299 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: that is so Southern though, because backhanded compliment's absolutely You 300 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: were watching this little story about a wedding dress shopping, right, 301 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: So how did they say it? Do you remember? Well? 302 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: It was I stumbled on some video online and um, 303 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: it was like a skit and the girl comes out 304 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: in a really ugly wedding dress and like the friends 305 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: are like, oh ship, like we can't let her get 306 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: married and that, and the mom's like, let me handle it, 307 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: and she said, well that's address a lot of people 308 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: will remember, right. You know, it's like it's not necessarily mean, 309 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: but it's not nice. It is not nice. Remember this 310 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: one was always wash out your oat malble immediately after 311 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: finishing it. You know, do you eat oatmeal not regular label? 312 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: But I mean this wouldn't make sense to you, but 313 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: any of my oatmeal oatmeal eaters out there know that 314 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: if you let oatmeals sit in a bowl and get dry, 315 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: you are so screwed because it is so difficult to 316 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: get that plaster. Oh my god, it gets like this 317 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: film on the top of it. It's like so hard 318 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: to scrub out of a bowl. What is that doing 319 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: to your intestines? I don't know. I don't eat it anymore. 320 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: But after that one experience, it's like, have you ever 321 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: let eggs dry? You know? Have you ever let bacon 322 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: grease dry? I pour that. I pour that in the 323 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: can on my counter. What do you do with that? 324 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: Cook with it? No? I like fill up a can 325 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: and then throw it out. Okay, well grandma would cook 326 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: like Grandma would do. Um. I liked this one. It's like, 327 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: to me, this is so act casual. If you can 328 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: no longer laugh at yourself, you're already dead. That is 329 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: so true. People who take themselves seriously are not living life. 330 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: You can. Life is meant to you. We're supposed to laugh, 331 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: we're supposed to cry, we're supposed to feel emotion, absolutely, 332 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: but mostly at yourself. Like, please, don't take yourself so 333 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: seriously that you can't joke about the stupid ship you right, right? 334 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's to keep going back to the Queen 335 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: of Quip Dolly. Well, you know she's She basically says, like, 336 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: you want to make fun of her wearing wigs or 337 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: tits or whatever, like she wrote all the jokes about herself. Absolutely, 338 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: I always talk about this, keep quoting Kardashians, but I 339 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: keep quoting Dolly. Well, that's way better. But the reason 340 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: that they're likable to me now is because they're in 341 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: on the joke totally, Like you have to be in 342 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: on the joke for people to appreciate you. I do 343 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: love that about them. I just have a hard time 344 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: with the replication, the ripple effect that they've caused in 345 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: the world. Oh, I mean, that's a whole another time. 346 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: That's a whole another time. I hear you. Let's talk 347 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: about guns, cars, and women. All right? My grandmother, my 348 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: grandmother's golden rule that's stuck with me all my life. 349 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: Never let someone borrow your car, your gun, or your woman. 350 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you feel about that? Do you 351 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: own a gun? I don't either, and you don't have 352 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: a woman. Don't. But I do have a car, and 353 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: I am kind. I mean, are you funny about letting 354 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: people borrow it? It depends on who asks, because if 355 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: I know they're a bad driver, it's one thing but 356 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: then I'm also like, it's just a car, it's insured, totally. 357 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: I would rather someone wreck my car then come back 358 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: with a scratch on it, yeah, because then you could 359 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: get a new one. Right. Yeah, I will say I 360 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: feel a little vulnerable when other people are driving my car. 361 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Yeah, I mean it's 362 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: because if someone, like if you're a good friend, came 363 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: back and there's like a scratch all the way down 364 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: your car, like you would be pissed at them, but 365 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: hopefully they would fix it or you might need to 366 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: get a friend. Yeah that's true, but you there would 367 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: also be a part of you that would want to 368 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: be like, it's just a material thing. Don't like, don't 369 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: make a big deal out of it, because if you 370 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: scratched your car, you'd probably just let it ride, right. 371 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it depends on how big the scratches. I would 372 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: never let someone borrow my car, my woman, or my gun, though, Yeah, 373 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, is a dangerous thing to let someone borrow 374 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Totally joking. I don't have a guy, but I think 375 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: for that's that's I mean, you definitely don't want to 376 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: let anyone borrow your woman, So ain't nobody gonna borrow 377 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: my man. Okay, don't even chat, not for rent? What 378 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: else you got? Um? This one is about misbehaving. If 379 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: you can't be good, be careful. I don't get it. Well, 380 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: it's like you have to give yourself permission to like 381 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: misbehave sometimes, but when you're gonna do it, like be careful. 382 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: Isn't that the whole point of misbehaving? Though? Well some 383 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: people I think the wind all yeah, but I think 384 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: that some people are haphazard and their misbehaving really bad. Right, 385 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: I've been watching that Aaron Mr Hernandez. This is a 386 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: sad tangent, but it has to do with that. Actually, 387 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: he is one who did not be careful. He definitely 388 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: got to the point of like I can do whatever 389 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: I want and I faced no consequences. So yeah, so 390 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: we'll stay to being careful because I don't want to 391 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: end up like him exactly. I liked this one as 392 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: kind of one to go out on, and I think 393 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: this is like the whole point of this whole topic 394 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: is just about living each day to its fullest. And 395 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: this quote says, never allow waiting to become a habit, 396 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: live your dreams and take risk. Life is happening now. Boom, 397 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: Mic drop, Mike drop. It's so true. I mean I 398 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: think you know, like we said before, it's like when 399 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: you are older and able to like be casual about life, 400 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: it's because all you have is these moments. Well, when 401 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: we're young, we take everything for granted, like we can't 402 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: appreciate like all that we've accomplished. We're thinking about the future, 403 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: and we forget that like right now, like I could 404 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: get struck by lightning or hit by car or whatever 405 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: it is, I have a heart attack, and uh, life 406 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: is It's like all the pain and all the laughter 407 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: and everything is so special. Um that why overlook it? Well, 408 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: I love versays, never allow waiting to become a habit, 409 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: because don't we do that right. You're like, oh, I'll 410 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: just be happy when or when I get to this 411 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: place in my life, I'll you know, blah blah blah. 412 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: And it's like, no, life is happening now. So even 413 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: like what I was saying when I started this, and 414 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: I'm not feeling my best today, I'm like, this is 415 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: a season. And also there's still so much good in 416 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: my life to focus on and be happy about and 417 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: put my energy intowards. You know, right, it's never as 418 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: bad as we think it is. And so you know, look, 419 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: sometimes taking action on something that you've been waiting to 420 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: do can cause anxiety or stress or whatever. But like 421 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: that's that's called feeling, you know, Like yeah, that is living, 422 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: like when you actually start the pot and like force 423 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: your body in your mind to like feel these things. 424 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: And sometimes it's just excitement so that wait and go live. 425 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: And I mean, I guess Other than that, all we 426 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: have to say is always remembered to act casual gets 427 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: me every time.
