Speaker 1:

In this episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast, we are talking about the psychology of friendships. This is part two. We've started a series, I think, because there's so much information I want to share with you. If you haven't listened to part one, jump back in episode or listen to this one and then go back. Either way, it's all good. There are no rules. You do whatever you want. That's what friends are for, absolutely what in places are you talking about? And, as usual, we're giving them way free stuff. Hang in there, folks, we'll be right back.

Speaker 2:

Get ready for the Motor City Hypnotist, david R Wright. Originating from the suburbs of Detroit, michigan, he has hypnotized thousands of people from all over the United States. David R Wright has been featured on news outlets all across the country and is the clinical director of an outpatient mental health and hypnosis clinic located just south of Detroit and helps people daily using the power of hypnosis. Welcome to Motor City Hypnotist David R Wright.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

I'm taking my time.

Speaker 1:

We just did a man gave happy hour podcast a few moments ago, so there's just leftovers.

Speaker 3:

I have a nine to five. I have to be responsible. I got to drive home, I got to wake up, I got to do all these things, and I love doing them because it's just the best. I don't listen to you, no more. You're not my friend anymore. That's what, friends are for.

Speaker 1:

Every hypnotist in the world comes out of a woodwork, right, the majority of them, to be blunt, suck. They just do. I'm just being truthful with you. And when you say suck, what do you mean? It just means it's not a good show. Okay, it's just. And there's no other way for me to explain it, except if you watch a good hypnotist and a bad one, right, and sometimes a crowd won't know the difference. They'll just think, oh, everybody's getting hypnotized. But it's not just rote, it's not like a script you follow. Every show is different. For me, some hypnotists, their show is exactly the same Word for word. For me, the volunteers make the show and I play off what is happening with the volunteers.

Speaker 3:

Would you say there's a bit of improv within your show.

Speaker 1:

Yes, absolutely. In fact, I love to improv because that's where the funniest things happen and most and I'm going to be honest, most hypnotists cannot do that. They know what to do as far as the rote script goes, but after that? So anyway, I'm promoting myself, which is a good thing. So if you're in one of those high school committees looking for a grad night hypnotist, reach out now. Motorcityhypnotistcom.

Yep, all right, here we go. It is time, bring it slide. That's how winning is done.

Speaker 2:

All right. All right, what do we have? Okay, this is I don't know if you've heard this, because a famous star is a part of this story.

Speaker 3:

Okay, it's Kevin Bacon, kevin Bacon.

Speaker 1:

Kevin Bacon, kevin Bacon, kevin Bacon, kevin Bacon, kevin Bacon.

Speaker 3:

Would you call me no?

Speaker 2:

All right, so what does?

Speaker 1:

mr Of the bacon have going on so Actor Kevin Bacon is seeing himself ratioed on the search engines. Is that because of the seven degrees or nope? Okay after a runaway pig bearing his name Was caught with an elaborate ruse.

Speaker 3:

Okay, Another pig New story and the name of the pig was Chris yeah. Middle initial P, last name bacon.

Speaker 1:

This pigs name is Kevin Bacon. But rather than wallowing the loss of limelight, kevin Bacon the human, used his show social media to alert Pennsylvanians to the missing hog and the attempts of his owner, chelsea Rumbaugh, to recapture him. Please find me. Chelsea lives in Cumberland Township and brought the big home pig home on October 13th. Following two brief breakouts, kevin Bacon ran away after a burrowing under the fence of his holding pen. Thus began a two-week saunter around the rural area.

Speaker 3:

Soiling his royal oats Okay.

Speaker 1:

I'm making the pig. Chelsea set up a Facebook page called bring Kevin Bacon home, for God's sake, which kept up a running thread of locations and news about the pig. To help coordinate rescue efforts, she asked neighbors and friends to share the page, which eventually Landed it in the feed of a certain mr Kevin Bacon. Oh, for God's sakes. The famous actor then shared the Facebook page on his threads feed good captioning, captioning it with Bring Kevin Bacon home. Over the course of his footloose adventure, pig Kevin had grown accustomed to eating food from humans, which eventually led to his downfall in the form of a sticky bun laced with harmless benadryl, for which an animal is sedative. They drugged him with a benadryl sticky bun.

Speaker 3:

Is that why they have bacon bits on the bottom? Is a thing the nostrils.

Speaker 1:

Come on the story of Kevin Bacon. And Kevin Bacon went viral and she realized that she could use the fame to advance her goal of turning her farm into an emotional support center. Okay, I need a platform, go on. Chelsea's rambling pig came home and even walked freely into his pen, which she had reinforced with concrete to stop him from tunneling out again. She had the.

Speaker 1:

She had the time to do it, so we have plans for our property to be an open to the public farm and offer services for children and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety and depression. Okay, and Kevin Bacon, the pig, is going to be here for all of that too. You said rumba. Okay, the facebook page has since been converted into kevin's home adventures and hosts all kevin content all day.

Speaker 3:

So it's basically a facebook page for animal farm.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, pretty much All right, yeah, so kevin bacon, the pig, escapes. The owner, chelsea, puts out her facebook feed. I bring my pig, kevin bacon, home. Kevin bacon sees it and shares it on his stuff, which leads to the pig actually getting found in and rescued so the the seven degrees of kevin bacon has leads into animals, glows into animals now.

Speaker 3:

Okay, just want to make sure we're on the same wave like that that escalated quickly.

Speaker 4:

I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

Speaker 1:

That's such a great story. I laughed reading this. I just it just was great. So kevin bacon the pig, kevin bacon the actor definitely winners of the.

Speaker 3:

That's how winning is done, so let me ask you the question. Now do you ever played the game of seven degrees of kevin bacon?

Speaker 1:

yourself.

Speaker 3:

I have and how many steps Like what's the quickest.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh.

Speaker 3:

I've gotten in two.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, same here. Yeah, right. And there are certain movies where you find a bunch of actors in it. Uh-huh, paolo 13 is one, right, what was? What's the other one, the other big one that I use all the time? Oh, I can't wait. It's been so long since I've done that, but yeah, ok.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I just curious.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

We played that with with your own, with your own sale.

Speaker 1:

Well, we've. We've played in a group before too, so yeah it's.

Speaker 3:

The Kevin of Bacon Pig.

Speaker 1:

So back to it. So, speaking of friends like Kevin Bacon and Kevin Bacon the pig, we're talking about friendships and the psychology of friendships, and we went through a bunch of facts and information in our first episode. This is part two and we ended up with Most friendships don't last very long, meaning life moves on and then friends, kind of your in, your attrition, yeah, your environment, just friends yeah.

Speaker 1:

So here's, here's again. A lot of these studies have shown that, when it comes to friends and this is a kind of a no brainer, but I want to say it anyway quality over quantity is more important. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's kind of like the whole Facebook phenomena like, oh, I have nine under eighty friends. No, you don't. It's like no, that's just how many people clicked or answered or or or just been stalking you. And some people are just doesn't matter.

Speaker 3:

Voyeurs, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

No, exactly. Yes, yeah, it's, it's crazy. Oh, good for you, but really, of those nine under eighty people, how many are truly friends? Single digits at most. Sure, even that might be pushing it, yeah, so quality is, excuse me, definitely more important than quantity. Ok, work, friends are very important.

Speaker 3:

I was with the same employer for 22 years and I had a number of friends. You know co-workers but you know, when I left that employer, a lot of them have started to fall off.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And that's not just because I don't see them or I'm. I'm actually been very silent on the on the socials.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 3:

Right, but you know, I've noticed that, you know, a lot of those old co-workers are no longer friends on the Facebook. Oh OK, but I will send them a text to be like oh my God, how are?

Speaker 1:

you, yeah Right. So in the workplace, the importance of friendship is that you know, whatever your job is, it's important to have a creative, happy, productive environment with people that you like. So think about it If you've ever had a job where no one was your friend. I don't know if that's ever happened to anyone, but oh, it's a pretty miserable job situation.

Speaker 3:

It happens a lot more than you think, because folks just they don't, they're not outgoing, they don't, they're just there to do a job and they don't care about anything else. You know they're there for a paycheck.

Speaker 1:

And if you have, if you have a group of not even a group, even a couple or a few close friends at your job, at your employment, those people are less likely to look elsewhere, to work somewhere else, because they enjoy the people they're working with.

Speaker 3:

You know and I'm going to go out on a limb because I saw a story that Whoopi Goldberg was getting a lot of backlash for some of the things that she had been saying. Ok, and she was talking about how our millennials of this day and age, they, they want a four day work week, but they're not going to be able to afford a house on a four day work week. Right, and she got a lot of backlash for that. But that's just the mentality they come in and they're there to do a job and that's it. They don't look to seek out friends in the workplace.

Speaker 1:

Well, no, and that is that that can be a problem, because because that, because it's psychologically it's like I'm only here for the work. Now again, balance this out, it's subjective a little bit. But yes, you're there to work, you're there to do the work, to get paid. But wouldn't that be such more enjoyable if you had people you enjoyed being around, of course, and then you had fun doing the work you're doing.

Speaker 3:

I want a four day, work week, and I want to be able to work from home. I don't want any interaction with my co-workers.

Speaker 1:

Well, see it in. Yeah, we may get into that at some point. As far as what? This, this, this social isolation, that that's been more. It's. It's no, no, it is, it is taking over. It is so. A Gallup poll that was completed in 2018 found that those who have a good work friend are more likely to be engaged in their jobs, deliver higher quality work and have a better sense of well-being. There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3:

It's almost poo pooed in this day and age. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's, it's um yeah.

Speaker 3:

I can't, I can't tell you no, I know.

Speaker 1:

I know it is crazy, it's, it's uh boy.

Speaker 4:

That escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.

Speaker 3:

But back to the root is the fact that, yes, you need to have coworkers as friends so you can go and enjoy, enjoy what you do.

Speaker 1:

Now again, listen, we all have jobs. What we consider jobs, it's how we make a living. Sure, and I can say very few people in the world do something they really love for work Fair. It's just the way it is. You work for money, you work to have a home and to support your family and have food. Very few people go to a job and say I love what I do.

Speaker 3:

You know, I I love the mentality that my mother had instilled in me. Work like you don't have to Right, right, yeah. But when you're at work, you have to be like a duck yeah. You're calm, cool, collected on top yeah. Put your paddle like hell underneath yeah. But you have to be able to have the mentality of work like you don't have to, because you enjoy it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know, I mean, there's nothing better than making money for something you love doing. Great, it's just I got, I, we, we could. We could probably do a whole episode on that. Oh, we could.

Speaker 3:

Oh, we definitely could.

Speaker 1:

So here's one, and I know this is probably known, but a lot of people don't follow it. Friendships need to be matched in their give and take.

Speaker 3:

Um, there has to be give and take in any relationship, right.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely so. If you're always the one who has to be making plans, or you're always the one reaching out and you feel like something else, somebody else is not putting in the effort, Sure, so you might raise some questions that might might make you think um, I don't know. This is really a good friend.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, don't know. You're always being asked instead of.

Speaker 1:

Or you're always the one reaching out and you don't. There's no initiative from your friend to reach out to you.

Speaker 4:

Gotcha, gotcha.

Speaker 1:

It's. I would compare this to kind of a kind of a romantic relationship there has to be give and take. In the world have to be in the workplace. Well, that's wherever. Wherever, wherever it happens, that's fine. Hi Alice, Thanks for saying.

Speaker 4:

Oh.

Speaker 3:

Alice.

Speaker 1:

Hey Alice. Um, this is a natural progression in life. Okay, love will cost you friendships, of course.

Speaker 3:

Well, wait, wait, wait. When you say love will cost you friendships, yes, is it you. You fall in love with somebody else, and not them, and you lose that friendship, or is it it?

Speaker 1:

could well, it could be that or you're talking more about like you have a group of friends and then you fall in love with somebody. That friend group is going to be second now.

Speaker 4:

They're not number one anymore.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and a lot of people have a hard time adjusting to that. That change.

Speaker 3:

And you know I hate to bring in pop culture. Yeah, I know friends, because kind of the not that it broke that, because everyone was in love with one another at some point. Well, sure, right, yes, yes, so.

Speaker 1:

So it's natural when you, when you begin a romantic relationship with somebody from the outside, that's not your friend group that you're, you're probably going to lose some friends over it. Sure, and it's not. It's not a failure on your part, it's just that. That's the natural progression of life. Sure, and I know that sounds cliche and trite, but it just that's the way it works. You move on, you meet somebody, you get married, and even then you know you've been in, you've been in a marriage. Your, your life's not the same as when you were single. Oh gosh, no, it's just different. It changes, it does. Your priorities are different, your focus is different, your time is different. So it's just going to happen. Yep, here's an interesting fact I found in one of these studies At what age do you think the strongest friendships are made?

Speaker 3:

I would say in their 40s, if not 50s.

Speaker 1:

No, Really From ages 18 to 26. Yeah, ok.

Speaker 3:

Well, that's when, ok, ok, that's when you're just stating, still Right, and you're trying to figure out who you are, and you have that circle of friends. But that circle of friends I would almost think that they would you'd actually move in different directions, like you're getting your friend from the army Right After that Right. So, but you have your circle of friends later in life and you create better relationships later in life.

Speaker 1:

So here's here's what this study says You're more likely to try out new things from 18 to 26, which leads to meeting new people. As you get older, commitments like marriage and children can cause you a free time to shrink, which then makes it harder to meet new people. Huh, so in other words, you're more free at like 18 to 26 to meet people than you are from 26 and up. Ok, in general, because you get tied down. Because you get tied down and you don't have that. You got a ball of chain.

Speaker 1:

You're stuck at home.

Speaker 3:

What in places are you talking about? No, but I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1:

You're living with this woman, no.

Speaker 4:

You've had your limit today. You drink water.

Speaker 3:

Right, or she does this. How do you get?

Speaker 4:

away from a table. With this little, it's not even wet.

Speaker 1:

Or she does this.

Speaker 4:

No, you've got to take everything off the table.

Speaker 1:

You're living with that, you probably don't have any friends. Ok, you're not wrong, yeah.

Speaker 3:

But I'll tell you that the group of friends that I had in my teens and early 20s they are still my friends today. Yeah, well, exactly, ok, but since I have grown my friends, my friend network quite a bit in my 40s Yep, and that just still continues to grow as I work towards experiencing new things. Sure, right, I had. Sure, it's new experiences. You know what? Go and visit a restaurant you've never been to before. Stop going to the same old thing, sure, absolutely.

Speaker 3:

Go out and have different new experiences, because what are you going to do? You're going to meet new people, right?

Speaker 1:

You can still do that. But see, that's the whole point of the study is that once you're done with school and you're into a career, there's less opportunity to do all those things. So you make the opportunity.

Speaker 4:

Well, no I understand.

Speaker 1:

I'm saying, though it typically doesn't happen. I don't agree with that. Yeah, just clearly. I'm listening to you, no more. So here's and before I say this again, we're talking in generalities. These are studies done, so this is not a blanket statement, ok, well, should it be? Women value friendships based on emotional connection. In general, in general, in general Dynamics between male and female relationships, friendships are different.

Speaker 4:

Sure they are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, women tend to have friendships that are more intimate and more have more emotional connections.

Speaker 3:

They feel comfortable sharing personal things and personal issues or details You're talking about with other females? Yes, ok.

Speaker 1:

Right, and in fact in the study, women required more consistent contact with friends than with men. Love me, I'm sorry. So let's say, for a long period of time you haven't heard from someone, they may be feel like, oh, we're not friends anymore. Yeah, I'm just telling you what the study shows.

Speaker 3:

I chuckle because, again, I'm not agreeing with that. You know it it it's.

Speaker 1:

I see it, though I'm sure you see it because you're more.

Speaker 3:

You see it a lot more on your day to day.

Speaker 1:

No, I do, I do.

Speaker 3:

Or I'm just using my own personal experiences with that. So let me, let me jump from women to men.

Speaker 1:

Ok, men value friendships that are more interest and activity based, all right, so do you, do you do a podcast?

Speaker 3:

I do so, do I yeah?

Speaker 1:

be friends. Yeah, all right, we're already friends. So so here's the thing men typically have relationships that are focused on an activity. Okay, they like doing things together, like sports or watching sports, or you know, have same hobbies or you know things that they all like Mm-hmm. So there's, there's less emotional, there's less intimate sharing connection and get that. Men can also go longer periods of time without any contact, without any issues.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so let me give you an example. Yeah, close friend of mine, yep, was the best man in my wedding 24 years ago. Okay, all 23 up, whatever. And I had not spoken with him over the past six months and and I reached out just to say, hi, check on, check in. And it was we picked up like we had never like you, never stop, never stop.

Speaker 1:

Yep, you know, yep, and and I've also experienced this, I, I have friends, in fact, we just we just went to a Depeche Mode concert on Wednesday, oh yeah. Scott and Chris I heard it was great and their wives. We see each other once a year, twice a year maybe, mm-hmm. We gather for our friend. We gather Before in the sun, like before football season starts, get ready for our draft, fantasy football draft. And here's the other thing. We've all been in the same fantasy football league for almost 25 years.

Speaker 3:

But you guys just only get together once or twice a year.

Speaker 1:

Yes, that's, but in person that is in person, but it's all good, yeah, because, because it's, it's not, there's, there's no expectation for anything more. Sure, I mean we do talk. I mean it's not like you know, because we're, we're spread out like got my one buddy, scott's, in Clinton Township, my other buddies in in South Lion, so you know, that's a it's a big distance thing, but the study said and the reason I bring that up men can go long periods time without having contact if they, and if they happen to have an argument with one of their mates, they're more likely to move on and continue their friendship than women are. Mm-hmm. So it's this whole thing. So I get to tell you a story, okay, before we finish for this episode. When I was in college, we were in a dorm, all right, the dorm had a common lounge in a laundry room, okay, so hey, did you?

Speaker 3:

see, Chris has cheese drinks oh.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna say this guy and we and I'll tell you the story and then I'll tell you the result. So, sky named Tom, he's in there folding his laundry. Uh-huh in in our dorm. Behind it there was this pond with a bunch of cat tails, you know okay. So we had pulled some of these cat tails and brought him into the dorm the flower cocktail or cat Cat tails, the ones that are that the fuzzies?

Speaker 4:

fly all over.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the cotton yeah.

Speaker 1:

So we were running up and down the dorm hallway waving these things, making a snowstorm while he was doing it. I went through the laundry room and waved it right over Wondry. Dick move. David, it was a dick move, I agree it was.

Speaker 3:

It was terrible as a as one of the purveyors of laundry in my household.

Speaker 1:

So he got, we got face-to-face, thought it was gonna be a physical altercation, I'm not kidding. A month later we're like best friends, sure it just hey, whatever happened happened, yep, you know, that's my example of and I'm sure it's happened Realistically. But I would say men could have a fist fight and be laughing together, yeah, an hour later over a beer. Yeah, yeah, that is proven. Yes, 100%, yes, yeah, and that's the difference. Generalizations again, I'm just going off studies, okay, so I can't say what's specifically right or wrong. You can make your own decisions about that and I'm just showing with the data shows gotcha.

Speaker 1:

All right, so we're gonna end on that between the different street males and females, before I get knocked out, or you know boy.

Speaker 4:

That escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.

Speaker 3:
