From Comfort Zones to New Horizons Plus the Power of Friendship

Have you ever pondered the fine line between the comfort of familiarity and the allure of the unknown? That's where you'll find us, Daniel and Jordan, as we embark on a podcast journey that blends the coziness of home with the thrill of travel. We're mixing it up – recording on the move, yet anchored to our roots. Amidst sharing tales from the road and our personal lives, we invite you to peek behind the curtain of podcasting. Discover the scaffolding that underpins our creative process, from the mental gymnastics of day jobs to the humorous trials of domestic life – yes, even kitty litter box escapades make the cut.

Wading through the mystical realm of slumber, we debate the ideal sleep quota and swap stories that'll make you think twice about your bedtime rituals. But our musing doesn't stop there. We unravel the art of mentorship, and no, it's not just for the rookies. Delving into the guidance from industry pros like Justin Coletti of Sonic Scoop, we explore how mentor figures can sculpt your journey. We also chat about the wisdom that spans generations, considering how both seasoned sages and tech-savvy youths can shape us, potentially inspiring you to either seek a mentor or become one.

Lastly, we strip down to the core of human connections. Imagine building a relationship so strong it can weather any storm, grounded in the bedrock of friendship. We share unfiltered narratives from hasty 'I dos' to understanding the markers of a genuine partnership. Uncover the essence of companionship and the dance of conflict resolution, all while we emphasize the transformative power of self-love. There are no special guests, just a heart-to-heart with your pals, Daniel and Jordan, as we embark on this leg of our podcast adventure, packed with insights, a dash of humor, and a sprinkle of unconventional wisdom.

Host
00:00
Hey everybody, I'm Daniel and I'm Jordan, and we're Daniel and Jordan upbeat music playing RUN. Welcome back to the show, you guys. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:26
Welcome back. We're excited, man. This is. We're amped up, aren't we? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:29
What episode is this? I've already forgotten Four. Four, yeah, four, wow. I'm excited on the path that we're going. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:37
I'm extremely excited. Yeah, this is the most excited I've been in a very long time. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:43
What do you think is our next move? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:45
Our next move. I think we're gonna be traveling, dude, yeah, and I think that that is exciting to me, yeah it's different. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:52
You know it's different. Usually podcasts are all in the same area, same studio. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:59
We still got home base. We do have a home base. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:02
But it's gonna be unique to have those you know, a change of scenery. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:07
Yeah, I think it gives us so many options to do whatever we want with our lives. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:12
And we're not gonna tell you all of our secrets because we don't want you stealing our crappy ideas. Yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:17
Yeah, good thing you said that, because I was about to steal all the beans. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:22
So weekly update. What's you been doing this past week, jordan? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:25
This week. Let's see here. I've vacuumed the store. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:30
The store, the store, the job, oh yeah yeah, that's. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:33
all I do now is vacuum. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:35
So that's why you don't want to vacuum. When Kani tells you to vacuum, oh yeah, you have to go home after this and vacuum. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:41
Yeah, so I've been working which you know is nice because I do a lot of manual labor to where I get to actually mentally think about this, and so I just sit around thinking of ideas for this and my music. Then yesterday we finally finished a song. My band has a song, fully mixed and everything. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:58
And it does. It sounds great. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:59
Yeah, I'm excited for the sound. I think we'll find our niche. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:03
It's groovy, it's unique and it's almost like just it reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to, you know back in the day. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:11
It's all about fun. I mean, the course is about selling drugs to kids. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:15
Don't get any funner than that. Here you go, johnny, take your little X. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:20
Yeah, the pharmaceuticals have been doing it to us forever. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:22
Yeah, that's true. They've been feeding us a lot. I want a piece of that pie. Well, for me. Was there anything else that you've been doing this for? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:31
I think that's about it, besides us just getting all this organized and thinking of all the business and the admin. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:39
It's a lot. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:39
Oh, it's a lot, but it's exciting to think about it for the first time. It'll be old soon. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:45
I always tell people who is like. You know I'm thinking about starting a podcast which people messages like, hey, what should I get? You know this and the other. It's a lot of work. It's more work than what people think and you know some of it's kind of money too, like it's. Some of the stuff is pretty expensive, which you know you can get by with certain things, but there's certain things that you need right, but I always push people to do it. If it's something you want to do, you need to do it, but it does take work and it does take some time. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:16
It needs structure. Most importantly, that's what we have been doing is building a foundation for a structure of how to do this to make it easy for us to focus on the content. The work part is put into, you know templates and it's just got structured where we know how to go about to achieve whatever our ideas are to allow us to be as creative as possible, and you can do that with whatever you got. 

03:38
Honestly, you know I've done, I've made music and things like that with really crappy gear a lot of my life. Of course, none of it was good or successful. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:45
I remember when we used the turtle beach headset for the microphone. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:49
Yeah, you would just hold the headset in your hand like the microphone is singing to it. Yeah, that was awesome. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:54
I love it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:55
Just start yeah, just start and then form structures to make things easier for yourself. You know as many technical things that you can pushed into, just like being automated, or workflow that allows you to be creative and have fun. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:10
And, yeah, it's all about taking that first step. So I always tell people just to do it. You know, keep building, keep building. And you know what's unique about this is we're usually people do three episodes. When I launched my podcast, I launched with three episodes. I think we're going to we should be at five episodes. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:25
Yeah, so you're going, you hear this. You should probably even have another one after this to hear. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:29
Yeah, so enjoy if you're still here, if you're still here or we're talking to no one. 

04:34
Yeah, this is a complete waste of our time, yeah, but you know, for me this past week just the usual grind. We've been filming, just doing some editing, been putting a little more time into Daniel and Jordan here, you know, which is fun. I enjoy it. You were up late last night, I was up late last night, so a little quick story, okay, storytime with Daniel here. 

05:03
My wife got a new kitty litter box, okay. And she so get the knock on the door, drops off the box and she's like oh honey, go get the stuff. You know such FedEx dropped off a package, okay, cool. So I'll go get the FedEx box and she wants to film this story on social media, on it, on our Instagram. And she's like, oh, instagram, check out this cool new modern cat box. And she's pulling it out, piling up all the parts, all the trash and papers. And then she's like, after the story shuts off, she's like, okay, I'm going upstairs to give light in the bath, put this together, and then, when you're done, take out the trash. I'm like I didn't order this. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:42
It's good for you, daniel, okay, and she puts you to work. That's what my woman does to me and it's good for us All. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:48
Right, it keeps us on track, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:50
Yeah, otherwise I'll be nowhere to be found. I'll be in my little cove in the corner, like you. I'm sure you are right here behind us, just stuck in there, your head in the screen. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:59
I love it. Yeah, it's kind of like my happy place. Yeah, yeah, I do too. Honestly, when she did that to me, it pissed me off. Yeah, that's right you hit her right. I wanted to. I remember what I said in the last episode the back of the head. Yeah, no, we don't support that. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:16
We're not saying that that's what you should do. We're just saying if it's a possibility. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:21
Yes, we're just saying that we're happy to want that. It's to just hit her. Do it in the back of the head, but don't take my word for it. Don't do that. I heard it on an episode, a podcast I used to listen to. I'm just telling you what I'm? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:35
I'm not wiggly liable here. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:36
But yeah, so she, she drops all that, she goes upstairs, and then I'm stuck with this pile of Modern cat assembly, which was not that Modern cat assembly. Yeah, I don't even know what that means modern technology for cats. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:49
Yeah, in piss. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:52
So they can go in from the top or they can go in from the side, and she just had to have it and then Listen to how bougie this company is the box that it comes in. You can poke all the holes out. They're like pre-rated lines. Poke all the holes out and it becomes a cat toy For your cat so the cat can play in the ball it's shitty Well no. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:15
It comes out from shit. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:17
Yeah, it takes a shit and then comes in here and like plays with this little toy. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:21
Mmm, when they're gonna put a screen in there like how we do now, I don't know and so you can watch. It's a tick, tock, swat poops. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:27
I was like I thought I seen it all until then, and then that was uh that was new for me. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:33
Pets have it so easy. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:35
Yeah, eat sleepy and poop, that's it. Yeah, I mean, I used to do that when I was a kid, but I wish I could do it now. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:42
Yeah, unfortunately my bed I'm for all over myself. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:46
Unfortunately, you have to, you know, get to work and keep your mind busy and do all these productive things. Keep up your house vacuum, you know. But you know it's just the circle of life. Eventually, when we get older, we'll be shitting on ourselves again, that's right. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:00
We'll have the AI robot come and wipe us right up. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:03
Thanks, Johnny. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:05
You are welcome. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:07
But yeah. So I got that put together and then I took all the trash out. But yeah, that's about it. I'm planning a podcast with another gentleman and just keeping it interesting, you know, because whether you're a comedian, a musician, a magician, you know a business owner, you all have a story of how you got to where you are, because you know whether that be Trials and tribulations you've come across, but you have a success story, especially if you're successful in what you do and and that is inspiring to me Whether you own a business or a musician, a success story is a success story. You know, just like managing a burger joint or managing a Tuxedo place, it's the same thing management, it's management. So, yeah, it's good to hear. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:58
Yeah, I think. I think the point of it is is just hearing from people. You have expertise in certain fields and it's not about what you do. It's about how you do what you do and and if you have a thing that you do, you're probably somewhat of an expert in that field in some forms Maybe not the top level. Yeah but it's very interesting to hear people's myth, their madness to their methods. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:19
Yeah. Yeah that's interesting, but yeah, that's been about my week. Layton was on one last night. I stayed up forever and lanes his two year old. Yes, to let you know two years old two years old and I guess you know, since she's two years old, she thought it'd be a great idea for me to get two hours of sleep last night. So that was your child but you know I feel good. It's so weird I can. The longer I sleep, the shittier. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:45
I feel what's like your prime, what do you think like is the best and honestly for you, because it's different for yeah, I always struggle whenever I like initially wake up, but like after that 10 or 15 minutes I'm ready. But like what? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:58
like how much. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:59
I say hours, is that too? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:00
much. No, I think it's too much. 

10:01
I think five, yeah, I think five hours five but that's what I'm so used to, because I've always stayed up late and woke up early. You know, because you know I I've worked hard, for I started working when I was like 14. So when I'm a kid, though, I'm like wanting to play video games with my friends, or stay up later Right music with my best friend, you know. So it's like you. You still have this work life. You have to do so. I still got to wake up early and go to work, but I still want to play whenever I get off. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:31
Yeah, you know what I mean about video games and all that at 14 and See, here, I'm 33 still rockin do the math. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:40
Never stopped. But yeah, man, what was I even saying? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:45
Well, it's for me, sleep is like seven hours. I always have slept eight just because, like you, always are recommended eight hours of sleep. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:51
But I'm be honest, I always wake up seven hours in and I'm like, oh, I think I got an extra hour of sleep, go sleep for an hour, wake up groggy because I slept an hour longer than I should be sleeping and I heard your brain, so I don't I'm gonna get it wrong, but they say like when your alarm goes off, you're supposed to get up because your brain does something and if you were to shut, oh, it shuts off your whole body. Like if you go to sleep again your brain, the each minute long it takes your body, that long, like hours, to wake up. A minute is like an hour, or something I've heard brought to you by science. 

11:29
Yes by Daniel. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
11:31
Daniel's words we were in the experiments. Trust us. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
11:33
But yeah, it's true. Like even I feel that if my alarm goes off and I'm like I hit the snooze, you know, and then I doze off, you know, my brain goes into that deep sleep and then it goes off again. It's like I'm more tired than I was. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
11:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah, way more tired. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
11:46
I'm more tired than I was before I fell asleep or have you ever woke up in the middle of the night I like two or three in the morning to go pee or get it something to drink and you're like man, I'm wide awake, but then you feel like you have to go back to sleep because it's three in the morning. It's not normal to be up at this time and then you wake up at seven or eight and you're just like dead. Yeah, it's. Yeah, I heard something like. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:07
That's like how people used to do it back in the day is like they would sleep and then get up in the middle of the night, do a call like thing for an hour or two and then go back to bed and, like my father I know that he would like go he would wake up in the middle of the night and just go and read on the couch for an hour or two really like asleep. Yeah, he had to like his own study room. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
12:23
Whitney's thing is a mini muffins right now. She'll wake up at two, go downstairs for 10 or 15 minutes, knock out four bags of mini muffins and then go back to bed. I'll put your right asleep. Yeah, go to sleep full and you know not hungry. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:37
Yeah, yeah, well uh, what's today's word of the day? Word of the day? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
12:42
well, I look forward to this segment. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:45
I do too. You know I give it a lot of thought. While I'm vacuuming through the week, that's true, I have my little book where I write in my words this week, I think a good starting word would be mentorship. I think we need to look towards experts and people who are older and wiser than us, who have done what we were trying to do, and look for advice. And they are the people who have the most experience. They've made the most mistakes, they know the right path and the epiphanies that you need to hit to get to the level that you wanna get to. And I think you know I had. I guess I had options for mentors, but I was always very closed off to like mentors growing up just because, like you know, you have to admit that you're younger and not as wise as them to be able to accept a mentor, and I didn't have that, I guess, and so, with like music, I started YouTube as a great place for this. 

13:41
You can go on YouTube and it's not the first person you look at when you search these things. Those people are the ones who are trying to sell you something typically, but like the little bit later you'll find a guy who's a little bit older talking about that subject. Watch that guy's videos and then compare it to the other people and you can kind of tell who actually knows what they're talking about, who is trying to give you information to actually teach you, and who is trying to give you information to sell you something or catch a view or you know they're fighting for hashtags. 

14:07
at that point you know, you'll know, and it's important to find those people, listen to them and take to heart to some of the lessons they're trying to teach you, because most of them know the epiphanies that they're trying to give you. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
14:19
Yeah, who are you looking to now? Or like who's that mentor now? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:24
I've been wanting to shout this guy out and I know he is a totally random person. His name's Justin Coletti at Sonic Scoop. Is that a restaurant? Yeah, is that a restaurant? He does sound. He was a producer for years. Now he's a master engineer oh wow. And he just runs a channel talking about mixing and really just anything all music. One of his videos once was about why you should quit trying to mix music, and it was basically saying if you're a musician and you're trying to mix your own music, you need to become an expert at being a musician, not a mixing it. You should be hiring someone to mix your music and be the greatest musician you can be, and that's set in well with me, this idea of becoming, instead of being a jack of all trades, becoming an expert at what you do, so that you have a service to offer other people, you can collab with other people who are experts at their field, and then you can build something really great, while everyone has separate jobs and everyone's making money. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:23
So you feel like so. When you said mentorship, I'm thinking someone that I physically know. So this person doesn't know you, nor have you ever had a conversation with them. So you're saying it's okay to have a mentor who you just don't talk to on a day to day. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
15:39
Right. I think that would be great. I haven't had a lot of that Besides my father. I haven't had a lot of just like. It's hard to make a connection with people, especially nowadays with how much we're stuck in our phones, to make a real connection with someone who's able to just be there and talk to you about all things. If you have that, that's absolutely great and that would be a great way to do it. I'm just really this is how I had to do it and cause, like I don't know, a lot of people, and you were the youngest of two brothers as well. 

16:09
Right and my father was older and I was growing up, so like he didn't have as much time to do some of those things and, like Bill Burr honestly Bill Burr, huge mentor of mine I call him second daddy and you're about to have another second daddy. 

16:28
But his advice section on his podcast, the Monday morning podcast, he gives some of the best advice for not he's not licensed or anything, but just knowing that he's a, you can tell he's a good person because he kind of he's just honest and open about him not being a professional and things like that and it just kind of you can pay attention to that advice section and pick up on things that you can apply to your own life and it changes your mentality and your life and it helps you grow up, become a man, it helps you with all these things. It all compounds into like yeah, just like a frame of mind All these different people that I look up to and making sure that they're good, honest people and I let them make an impression on you. Allow that to happen. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
17:13
I always caught myself at a young age hanging around older people and I hear a lot of people that say, like I have a old soul, like have you ever heard that saying you have a old soul? And I've also heard that if younger people don't hang out with older people, we don't know how to slow down. And then if older people don't hang out with younger people, they don't keep up with the time. So it's good to, you know, be around that older person to know when to slow down and enjoy life and learn from them. You know, and I did a lot of that with my cousin. He was older than me. 

17:53
I don't know how old he is now 38. I'm 33. But all his friends were. I mean, I was just, I was always the younger guy hanging out with him, you know. So I always hung out around older people and you know, I think that's right. And having an older mentor who's been there and learned and done and already made the mistake and I guess some of most of the time our parents can be a mentor as well. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:16
Absolutely they should be. I don't want a whole mark. I'm looking at you. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:20
Bloove me on and, but at the time wait for the people listening audio. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:25
Not, Daniel, I'm talking about you at home, you in the camera. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:29
But you know you don't want to hear that. As a young kid, you don't want to hear your parents say, hey, that's not a good decision, you shouldn't be doing that. Or hey, you should be saving your money instead of wasting it on this. You know, and maybe it's because it's your mom, yeah, you know. But if you were to hear that from a stranger, like an old man sitting at a park bench, you know like, hey, you, sonny, you better save your money. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:52
Yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:52
You know, would it mean more. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:54
You know probably it doesn't sometimes, but it should. It should make a connection with you that this person doesn't probably care about you that much because they don't know you that well. It's like that's the problem, right with your parents. It's like they're going to kind of love you no matter what, Right. 

19:09
So, like this advice is like that's great, you'll still love me. But him, he's not, he's just telling you something, he's just giving you advice. And that's where, like, the cliches are usually always true and usually that's why older people are saying a lot of cliches Right, because they are true. A lot of that advice is pit holes that people have fallen into at some point in their life and they're just trying to help you not fall into the same pit hole. And I think, like for people who are older, like I know that there was a time at my jobs where I started working with people a little bit younger than me, and I think it's important to to know that you are a leader in that moment and that you are making an impression on the world, the future of the world. 

19:51
Yeah, I think it's good and those things and that that changes, like your kids are going to have to live in that world and you are going to make that impression. And what do you? How do you want the world to be? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
20:00
And that's up to you, did you find yourself giving it like if they would do something or if they would bring up a topic? You're like, hey, you know, hey, you know, listen to this. Let me tell you this it makes you feel like a douchebag, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:11
But it makes you feel like you know everything and I definitely try to come with that vibe that I don't know everything. Right, but I do know some things about how I want the world to be and some things are serious. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
20:22
Yeah, but what's funny too is I've done that, but I've also. I do feel that way at first, like you know who am I? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:30
Yeah, who am I to say? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
20:31
anything. But as you continue to do that, it's almost like that person comes to you eventually and it's like hey, jay, you know what do you think about this? What should I do? And you know what it's weird. And then you get nervous because they're like oh no, there's yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:45
I actually do have a responsibility. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
20:46
Now I have to teach this person. Now I have to live this life teaching, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:51
And that, and it's important to definitely live the life that you're teaching. And if you're not, to be open and honest, I think about the mistakes that you're still making to this day Because, like, I'm 33 and I can teach a 20 year old a lot of things about his life, but a 40 something year old can teach me a lot of things about life. So I, to be open and honest with a 20 year old, be like, look, I haven't figured it all out yet at 33, which is important for him to know that he has 13 years to learn as much as I did or he could learn more, and I'm still not. Like you know, it's not the end. And at the end of your 20s, if you haven't found the perfect thing, yeah, even at the end of your 30s, people in their 40s find something. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
21:29
Yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
21:29
They find the love of their lives. They find all these things over time. It's not. It's not a rush game. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
21:36
So learn over time learn something now. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
21:40
Keep that going. Learn something tomorrow. Learn something the next day. 

Daniel Lawson

Piggybacking off of what you just said is I feel like it's important to be a people person throughout life, to have those experiences, you know, because if you're kind of shut off to the world and not a people person, you're going to have a hard time learning from somebody else. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's why I like, I love people and whether you're 60, I love old people. They're cute, they're, you know handsome. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
22:09
You're going to say sexy yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
22:11
I was about to say sexy for some awkward reason, but I just I love old people, I love what they got to bring to the table. I love the stories, I love the. You know, I love hearing the stories multiple times because that's how my grandpa was. He would tell me, like the story of him and his brother who dropped a match down an oil well and it blew up and burnt their eyebrows off, and probably heard it 50 times. But you know, I just I love that about old people and I felt you should definitely become a people person if you're not, so that way you can get this advice from other people. And when you're out in the you know restaurant eating and you see someone you know, you walk up and say hey, you know how are you doing? Like I found myself talking to so many random people and the kids are like who's that? And I'm like I don't know. You know, it's just good to good to say hi to people. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
22:56
I feel like yeah, and even like with our same mentorship, where you're like you're finding people to mentor you and you're mentoring other people, it doesn't mean that the mentor can't learn from the student, or whatever you know like you can learn from what the kids are doing nowadays, like what are they into, what? What? That's how you keep up with the time. So the idea it they have a life experience that's totally different than yours, especially in the world we live in now, where technology is so fast. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
23:20
Yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
23:20
Evolving. Yeah, it's important to keep up with them, to find out what is happening in the world, because, as much as you want to be all like a bit stuck in your ways, stuck in- your ways, anti-progression or whatever they. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
23:35
I don't like a damn cell phone. It ain't changed it, no. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
23:39
And you ain't changed a thing with that opinion. You might as well. We need to be prepared for progression and and to adapt to it more than we need to be like stuck in our ways, and I understand traditions need to be held on tightly. That because because that does come from like the older, wiser people. We need to listen to that advice. 

23:57
And the day we know kids ain't listening to like kids. Kids. They're growing up with technology advances that we don't have any idea what it was like to grow up with, and and that's just a reality of it. It's not their fault either. It's just the reality of the world we live in. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
24:13
Yeah, I mean, look at Tanya Lee, for example. Perfect example. She's what. I don't want to get your age wrong, tanya, 53 or 63. I don't think she's 63. I'm going to go with 53. That's the best thing you can do. You know so, but she's 53, you know 3 points something. Millions followers on Tick Tock you know, she's figured it out. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
24:34
Yeah, and that's what I was telling you earlier was this you know we got to. We have to figure this out now, because the kids in the future are going to figure out how to do all this social media stuff. They're going to grow up with it so much that it's just the new times and I'm sure it'll be something else. Right, I don't know what. What will we be doing? You know holographics living in your house with you. We'll have those Ray Bands on that for sure. Yeah, you probably have sex with me. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
25:01
Oh, the graphics. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
25:02
You know that sounds interesting. I'm not talking to specifically you, daniel. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
25:07
Oh, anyone out there with medical? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
25:10
But you never know, and it's you got to do your best you can, and I'm sure that the ball just keeps rolling down the hill. Right, you got to. You got to tap out at some point. I also get that. But if you're wanting to do something and not be stuck feeling like a slave, working for whatever, you just have to adapt. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
25:28
You have to change with times, because it's just going to keep on changing and then young kids know about it, pay attention to what they're doing. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
25:34
Yep. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
25:35
I tried to tell my mom when I was younger I knew what I was doing on the. You know, when my space first came out we had dial up. I was like we need to get better internet. And you hear that, yeah, you know. And uh, yeah, she, you don't need that. Well, guess what Now we do? Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, we got a, we have our first. Someone needs some advice. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
26:01
Okay, well, if you have advice you wanna give us, feel free to message us on Instagram, youtube I don't know if that has messaging, I'm so old you can comment on YouTube. Yeah, comment on YouTube anything. We've got an email. I'm sure you can find that somewhere. We'll have a way to contact by the time this comes out. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:18
Yes, definitely. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
26:19
But send us advice and we'll happily choose one to answer on our podcast. Who knows what we do in every episode? I don't know we'll figure it out, but we happily love to help people and just know that we're not trained professionals and that we just have life experience and you know. So take what you want from it and leave what you'd want from it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:38
We may twist it though, so just be prepared. You know, it might be something funny, but it will make sense at the end. But this person would love to know. She said maybe you can give advice on mental health and finding the one. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
26:55
See you train professional, not us, yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:58
Mental health. Yeah, I mean, that's a big deal, you know. You know, I feel like definitely talking to people yeah, I think Getting some medicine. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:08
Yeah, I think, don't self-diagnose too much, don't Google it. Don't Google it. You'll think you have everything, including the herpes. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:17
My wife's the world's worst dude. I swear if she gets an itch or something. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:21
Yeah, I don't. She doesn't have herpes, it's from you. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:25
But she does the most. She will go straight to Google and sell. She's got diastrophic dysplasia. She's become a dwarf, you know? Yeah, she's the world's worst dude. It's the worst thing you could do. We all do. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:40
It's like the new thing. We all have it and we do probably have literally. I think everyone has ADD, it's like in some warms from our phones. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:47
I thought you were about to say AIDS, not yet. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:50
First time I have the cure, though, but we all have a form of ADD and, of course, that's great, but we need to save the definitions of those things for being diagnosed with it. And if you're having problems with mental health, talk to someone. I know there's several places online that you can go to. I know they're not crazy affordable. If that's not an option, it's important for you to find someone to be vulnerable with that you trust and to talk to them about these things. Some of these things might not be permanent issues. Some of these things might be. If you had a conversation with someone, you could work it out in your head. You just might need an outside perspective. If it is anything more severe than that doesn't help. I would see an actual trained professional who can help you diagnose exactly what it is, and maybe it's medicine, maybe it's just talking it out. There are ways to help with these things, and I know a lot of people just feel like you gotta tough it out right. 

28:46
You don't wanna be weak, but sometimes just being vulnerable with people will sort out some of your issues, and not just being so hard headed and keeping it all up here. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
28:56
You're just talking about it. You immediately feel like a weight lift off and you may feel great after just getting it off your chest. I had that experience with one of my buddies recently. Stop by, he's like man, I need to just chat and I'm like feel free, stop by. He stopped by and he's texted me after he left. He's like man, I feel so much better, which he ended. He did end up going to the doctor and getting on a little something medicine and guess what? Medicine's okay, some people need it. We have a. You may have a chemical imbalance in your brain and that is okay. Don't feel like you're just a different person because you gotta take medicine. You know what I mean. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
29:33
Do more than prescribed Exactly, it's not gonna work. It won't work if you do more than prescribed. That's not what's supposed to happen. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
29:39
Exactly. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
29:40
When you take medicine it takes usually it's a low dosage to where it takes a couple of weeks for you to feel the effects. So you need to do that consistently, the way the doctor tells you. Otherwise you're just abusing the drug and it's not an immediate fix. It takes a little time for those things to set in. It's important to know that my fiance would be happy. I'm telling you all this. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
29:57
Yes, think of it as baking a cake. You know, if you put 350 Xanax in your body, if you start with the icing. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:06
Yeah, you ain't got a cake. You're doing it wrong. You just got icing. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:09
There's directions on the back of the box. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:11
for a reason, yeah, you know, yeah, and it takes time. You have to bake it, you have to do all these things to get to the end result that you want and it's important, yeah. I think you know people feel weird being on medicine, but there's a lot more people on medicine than you think and the ones who are messing up are overdoing it. Don't overdo it. Do it how it's prescribed by the doctor and it might actually work for you. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:32
Because you could die. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:36
Seriously. Yeah, you could overdo it. Yes, you ruin your life as well. There's all kinds of things that can happen if you're getting addicted to things. I mean I won't go into all of them. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:47
So what about finding? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:48
the one Finding the one you know. I wish I could have thought about this more. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:52
I'm not the person to ask there's so much. Clearly. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:56
I've been through them. Yeah well, that's not necessary. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:58
Well, you get a little bit of both from us. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:00
Yeah, you know, I've dated a lot of women through my life. I had a lot of girlfriends, not a lot of long-term girlfriends. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:07
What about me? And? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:11
I've had a lot of that. You're the longest running. I guess we're kind of like long-term domestic. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:15
You might as well go ahead and just get married, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:17
I mean, if we're going to hell for how much time we had sex before marriage, that's just good, obviously. But finding the one, so it's good to date. People decide they're not for you and break up with them. I don't know, I feel like. I have to say that I don't know why. I mean it's cut and dry. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:36
I mean. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:37
It's OK to break up with people. It's a good muscle to flex, to learn to break their hearts. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:43
Look. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:43
I've text broke up with people. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:45
I have to. I've had people break up with them for me. I've called my buddy. I'm like, hey, hey call Randy. Who's the girl? Ok, randy's not a guy. I know it's a guy named, but it's definitely not a guy. Hey, call Randy and break up with her for me. You know, my buddy calls Randy up. Yeah, does my dirty work yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
32:04
You're not in that relationship anymore. Exactly the goal is that when you know they're not, the one is to be out of the relationship, you should do it respectfully. But I get it. The main goal is to get out, and so I would practice doing it in person. I think I wish I had, because nowadays I have troubles with confrontation because I didn't work that out when I was younger. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
32:29
I used to stand in the mirror and be like it's over, I'm done with you, we are finished, yeah the meanest possible way of breaking up with someone? Yeah, and then, whenever I get there, I'm like uh, I love you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Only because I forget why I came over here. Yeah, yeah. You want to watch a movie and cuddle? Yeah, move in together. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
32:54
Yeah, let's go ahead and get married. But it's good to. It's good to break up with people when you know it's not the one. Because, like, we get in this thing where it's like love is hard and it's going to be hard and there's two sides of that. You can go so far that you're with someone for way too long and and it's toxic to both of you and you're both deteriorating in it. And then there's this case where people break up with people too easily and they're not willing to work things through and you have to be the one who gauges that. 

33:25
You're the one you know the most about the relationship you and that other person do. So you two being a constant communication, it'll honestly tell you'll both. If you can both be honest with yourselves, you can tell if it works or if it doesn't work and then decide to move on from there. Is it worth it or is it not worth it? And but I guess the question is more about finding the one. I'm a tender because that's where I found mine, did you? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:47
really yeah, I found mine in high school and then on Facebook. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
33:51
So it was for me and I used to be there. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:55
There's a Facebook dating now. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
33:56
Yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:57
My mom's on it or was I don't know if she is anymore Finding the one. Are you a dude? But what I would recommend is pretty much what he said. You know you, you've got to test drive the vehicle before you take it off the lot. You know what I mean. I've been through marriages and it's not worked and that's OK, you know. I know we hear and we grow up and divorce is bad and you know I'm part of the percentage now. I mean it's OK if you're not happy and you're doing all things that you can do to make it work, it's fine, you know, you know the only problem with that is like you kind of just put yourself through stress more than you needed. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
34:37
Yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
34:38
So, before you even get to that point, just make sure it's the one before you get married. That's that's what I would recommend, Don't? You know a couple I've had to make the choice to do it because I'm a show them, you know, yeah, before a girl wanted to move in, but before she can move in we had we had to be married with her parents. I'm like, OK, I'll show you, let's get married. So that's what I did with my first marriage. You know, and you know stupid, I was young, you know like great basis for love. 

35:03
Yeah, definitely not. And you know, when you're a guy in that situation, you don't care. You know, I feel like if you're a female it's a little different because we're not thinking with our brains. You know what I mean. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
35:15
Oh yeah, this advice is coming from a different place. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
35:17
Yeah, female, yeah, females I don't. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
35:19
I don't know how to find the guy. Yeah there's a lot of weirdo dudes it seems like communication. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
35:24
You know plenty of dates. Just make sure that is the person. And to know that is the person is to feel like it's more than just a relationship. It's more it's it's your best friends and you have a friendship within that relationship, and I think that's why me and Whitney get along so well, like we. We have discussions and we may fuss, but we love and then we laugh and we live. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
35:49
You know, and it feels like family. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
35:51
Yeah, and that's that's. I feel I can tell her anything. I poop in the same room with her right. You know she's don't do that. She's done. She's been back there to come out. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
36:02
I don't know if I can't poop in front of her. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
36:05
It's coming. It's coming, y'all be pooping in no time, I guarantee it. That's true. We're not married, but yeah. So but don't get married until you do poop, that's true. Yeah, if it's a week out and y'all are about to get married, you need to be like Kani, come here real quick, just come here, I got to take a shit. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
36:23
I'll slide off the toilet on the one knee with my pants around my First you'll have to do the whole standing wipe. Like you used to the toilet paper stuck between my butt cheeks, yeah that's what I would recommend. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
36:34
Just, you know, it's more of a relation. You know, instead of it just being a relationship, it's a friendship, it's a. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
36:42
Yeah, your friends in a weird way. Can you? Can you hang out with this person and be friends with them? Can you just be friends with this person If, if, sex and love and all these high emotion things that like obviously that's great and if and like it makes you feel a certain way it makes you eggs. 

37:00
Everyone feel a certain way. But hanging out, can you hang out with each other? Do you like each other when you're not doing those other things? That's a pretty big key to being like. It's just a red flag. If you can't, if you don't want to be around them unless you're making love, yeah, that's a red flag for you right there. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
37:19
Or when you do argue, you know, can you forgive and move forward and then use that argument to build on to your relationship, or is that just always going to be in the back of your mind? And you know, I'm just pissed off at this person all the time. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
37:33
You know what I mean Holding resentment. 

37:34
Yeah something so like when I was kind of going through my like trying to just sober up from Alcohol and all that One of the ladies I'd listened to was talked a lot about like holding onto resentments in your relationships and it's easy to tell yourself a story in your head about how someone is feeling about you in that moment and to kind of like amp up the emotion of like how much it upsets you, like it's like the person's life is saying anything. You're just making up a story in your head how that person feels and then you start holding this resentment against them. You get madder and madder at them and if you just talk to each other and you both are coming from a place of wanting it to work, you can let go of those resentments and grudges you're holding against each other. That's not a great like you can. You can still love someone and it's a personal issue you have with resentments of people and that's normal and that's OK and you can work through that. 

38:31
But that's a personal issue you need to work on with your how you hold people, hold resentments against people, and that does happen. It doesn't mean you're not in love necessarily. It can if neither of you are willing to let go of resentments. But yeah, I think that resentments can be a thing that's a personal issue that you might need to work through yourself. Maybe you're the issue also. Yeah, maybe you are. Maybe you need to be the one who works on yourself. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
38:59
I'll always and that's what I would recommend Evaluate yourself first. Yeah, that's the first step of any kind of processes. Is this me, is there anything I'm doing to contribute to this? And if so, then you've got to fix or manipulate that you know to figure that part out. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
39:15
But you've got to look at yourself first instead of going to that next person, and that's kind of that cliche of love yourself, yeah Right, that's where it ends is with loving yourself, but it begins with holding yourself accountable. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
39:28
Yeah, well, that's it. That's, that's our advice, you know, but don't take our word for it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
39:35
Please don't Don't pull us into a courtroom, please, god yeah especially years from now. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
39:40
