morning. Welcome to the green onions podcast. I am common sense girl and I am noah and this is the podcast where we throw out a little nonsense a whole lot of sense and a whole lot of laughter. Let's get it. Let's do it how you doing today anna, good, I feel like I haven't seen you in like a whole four hours.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, like you literally woke me up today and I'm like meeting people and I have to wipe the crust out of my eyes and that felt she's literally been here the past hour with my whole morning routine, which is the first four seconds of chop, suey, wake up and then nothing else. After that Literally Pound as many liquids as I can you do.
Speaker 1:You have a crap ton of liquids. You have two juices, your water, your power egg. Yeah, I'm just like that's a lot of liquid my green juice, my cubed up spinach veg?
Speaker 2:no, that's not he wishes.
Speaker 1:He was doing that like the last part. Oh my goodness. But yeah, we had a late night last night we just talked and had friends over and we made the burgers.
Speaker 2:Those were phenomenal.
Speaker 1:Yes, we put Ian in the kitchen. He's welcome.
Speaker 2:Chefed it up? Yes, he did. I broiled the buns, minced up some garlic, put the butter on it, put that on, broiled them.
Speaker 1:He only did the bread.
Speaker 2:I only did the bread he only did the bread.
Speaker 1:I just know that you only did the bread, Like I mean, the burger was like the thing there.
Speaker 2:The burger, the cheese, and I'm over here talking about what I did to the bun, I mean that's why I didn't say nothing about my salad.
Speaker 1:It was just a salad.
Speaker 2:That was really good too. I'm a big fan of just salads. My dad made chimichurri the last time he was here. So you gotta like lemon. So like you gotta like lemon shrimp, and then you gotta like unhydrate it with the lemon. I don't know how it works, but it was so good. So throwing them like chopping up amongst, like fresh stuff, throwing it in a bowl and then mixing it up and throwing some vinegar or something on it.
Speaker 1:Yes, yummy.
Speaker 2:I'm down for it, except cabbage. That's the one part of like being polish that hasn't like, or like wherever I'm from, eastern european, that hasn't hit me yet I don't like cabbage. I don't like that stuff yet well um do you like cabbage?
Speaker 1:I do, I love cabbage that's why I'm like oh okay, I grew up on cabbage and greens and stuff. But you know, my family's originally from the south number one too. Um, like my dad's family and even my grandmother's family were like sharecroppers. So yeah, you know, that's like I'm I'm always figuring out different.
Speaker 2:Like my parents did the ancestry thing, so like you know how, the more people that get it done, the more years updates yeah so like for half of my life. I thought I was like irish, like strictly, and they were like surprise, no. So they found somebody in the mix. It's like nope, you're 25, something else.
Speaker 1:It was like oh crap so well, at least you're not black. At least it didn't just turn out like hey you know you're 50 black.
Speaker 2:Like what? No, it's like four percent you're four percent black I don't know where that happened, but oh, somebody owned a slave, I'm sure and then all right so welcome it's a beautiful sept day.
Speaker 1:Today's October. No, I'm just joking.
Speaker 2:I wish it was my birthday's on. Never mind it's a beautiful September day.
Speaker 1:It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful night.
Speaker 2:All right, sorry, I just got very distracted. Anna's watching me be distracted. For our audio listeners, I almost changed the seating arrangement based on how distracted I knew I was going to be this morning.
Speaker 1:And he acts like he doesn't have this big window. He can't just tilt his head just a little bit.
Speaker 2:I know, but then it messes with the audio quality of the Green Onions podcast. And we have producers and managers. We've got to impress them, Anna.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:They're funding this whole. Thing.
Speaker 1:I totally worry about impressing them. We're the stars of the show. We employ you Like. Yeah, we know how I'm going to be in the future. I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey, boo-boo.
Speaker 1:Hey boo-boo, what about that food for thought?
Speaker 2:Yes. So the food for thought today comes from the Daily Stoic. It's again by Ryan Holiday. I'm going to continue to say that because I don't want people to think it's my words. Um, the first one is a picotus, which I figured out how to say. Uh, discourses 2.10.1. And the quote is consider who you are above all, a human being carrying no greater power than your own reason, choice which oversees all other things and is free from any other master. And then the little quote by Ryan Holiday says the psychologist Victor Franklin spent three years in prison in various concentration camps, including Auschwitz.
Speaker 2:His family and his wife had been killed, his life's work destroyed, his freedom taken from him, he quite literally had nothing left. Yet as soon as he discovered after much thought, he still retained one thing the ability to determine what suffering meant. Not even the Nazis could take that from him. Further Franklin realized that he could find positives in his situation. Here was an opportunity to continue testing and exploring his psychological theories and perhaps revise them. He could still be of service to others. He even took some solace in the fact that his loved ones were spared the pain and misery that he faced daily in that camp, or spared the pain and misery that he faced daily in that camp. Your hidden power is your ability to use reason and make choices, however limited or small. Think about the areas of your life where you are under duress or weighed down by obligation. What are the choices available to you day after day? You might be surprised at how many there actually are. Are you taking advantage and are you finding the positives? I got to start.
Speaker 1:Let's break that down.
Speaker 2:Okay, sorry, I had to burp the last paragraph and that was my oof, so I'm sorry for the listeners of the Green Onion Spot.
Speaker 1:What was the first question? I want to break this down His first question. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Is what are the choices available to you day after day, or what are the choices available to you day after day, or what are the choices available to you day after day?
Speaker 1:I think for me when I wake up in the morning. Hey, you thought I was going to quote Kesha. No, I wasn't. I woke up in the morning feeling it.
Speaker 2:Did she say P Diddy there? Yeah, oh, that didn't age. Well, kesha's, it goes to the diddy parties she don't know, mom, um nobody do. I'm sorry um that's a great album. That's your best album. Okay, one of those really talented people too, who don't get enough credit, but anyways exactly um I think that whole album was bangers and that came out of like okay, what do you think? What?
Speaker 1:consider the I think sometimes like if you wake up in the morning you do feeling like p diddy you gotta think about what could I have done better.
Speaker 2:Well, that's actually a did age. Well, that's really deep. That's why she's like she was on the life course. She woke up one morning feeling like P Diddy and he probably has a lot of regret and shame based on when he wakes up.
Speaker 1:I'm sure. But also I think, like just just in a normal everyday in our lives, we we do like, no matter what we're going through, we do need to kind of just like wake up and think of, let's say, you're going through I don't know, let's say, depression, you, you got to kind of sit down and because people know when they're going through depression, yeah you need to kind of sit down, probably writing a diary, getting your own head, and think of okay, to sit down, probably writing a diary, getting your own head, and think of okay, I'm feeling like x, y and z.
Speaker 1:Because of x, y and z, what is the positive, like the pros and cons. It's almost like you got to write down a list well, you gotta find, yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 2:You gotta find the root of it. Yeah, it's like a plant, like if there's a problem with the root, the whole thing's gonna rot, so you gotta try to get into the yeah, and the the innards of yourself, and think so, but then it has to be a conscious choice to find the positive and be positive and really, and that's where I think, especially if you- have a depressive brain where you think negatively all the time to where it's hard sometimes to like hyper.
Speaker 2:Fixate on the positives genuinely yeah because there's uh, I'm re-watching ted lap, ted lasso and there's this really cool thing that I didn't notice the first time watching it how he covers up all his crap with like being so positive and like being the most likable guy in the world. But there's an episode in the first season where he's like in the hotel and he's like drunk and he's not doing well, and Nate opens the door and he snaps at him Because, like you can only hold up that mask for so long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you have to like.
Speaker 2:You have to understand that you can't stuff everything else down and then put a blanket over it with being the best person to the audio listeners. Quote unquote that you think you are being.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You got to deal with the crap and you got to make a choice to understand that that it's all a scale. You got to load both ends of the scale.
Speaker 1:And I think a lot of that.
Speaker 2:That's why mindfulness, being mindful, and yoga and sound baths have become so popular well, sauna for me yeah when I'm in there I'm doing like stretches, like it's 180 and I'm like trying to and you're focused on what is happening.
Speaker 1:You're in that present it's meditation for me I listen to jazz in there.
Speaker 2:I've currently been listening to Mingus in the sauna and it's the. I'm trying to give you an. It's called the Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, but Mingus in the sauna is great. That's what you were listening to when you came over yesterday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was the really jazzy record.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it's meditation for me. Everybody needs that thing where, like, the world can kind of fade away for a second.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and I think that is you know, but that's a conscious choice Towards the end. I think that's you know what the question is. Basically finding the positive, because it's not hard for people to be negative. It's not hard, oh, it's a really quick pit I and I like to think I don't really have a depressive mind, but it's not hard for me to find the negative first well, it's also like stubbing your toe, like I'm gonna be angry first, or have you ever like walked out a door and then you like hit your elbow and you just want to like go crazy?
Speaker 2:right on that door frame. That doesn't have any feelings or any emotions and I'm like, and it's like that. I think I've never felt more fury than when I'm walking out a door like it hits me back right like what did I do to the universe to get hit by this door frame right now?
Speaker 1:instead of you know probably saying something like thank God, I have feeling in this arm.
Speaker 2:To feel this Instead of like this damn door. Well, like most of my days, I have, like certain stuff I can. I can calculate the pitfalls pretty well.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Except that door frame. Except that door frame, I don't know what.
Speaker 1:That darn door, that darn door.
Speaker 2:Do you want the next question or? I think it led into something about positives well, uh, day after day, you might be surprised at how many there actually are. Are you taking advantage? Are you finding the positives?
Speaker 1:yep, I like to think I am.
Speaker 2:I like to think I am too or a lot of people aren't even caring or taking a conscious effort to try to find them, and I think that's where we have those constantly negative Nancys, the people that bark and complain a lot. So I think those hoes aren't. You know, now there was really cool notation on this. These books are written on, they aren't't mine, but there's one thing that's written on here from papa, maze papa maze, uh, and he said he underlined uh which oversees all things and is free from any other master.
Speaker 2:And then it says am I food to habits and opinions of others? And that I think, in and of itself, we could have a page written about it, just like are we food to our habits? Like habits are something that don't have feelings, but like they are the ones that kill. You know what I?
Speaker 1:mean, we are.
Speaker 2:And opinions of others, though it's the same oh yeah, because people would be taking that crap and opinions of others, though it's the same.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, because people be taking that crap to heart like it's fat holy crap like? Who are you to tell me I'm pretty? Who are you to tell me I'm this, I'm that?
Speaker 1:and honestly, hello that. That is why we have these kids and even adults that are, you know, so reliant on what their Instagram and social media feed is saying. They're like, oh, this must not be great. Okay, you got five negative comments and a whole bunch of positive. Why are you worried about this person? Honestly, if you look on their page, they have nothing going on. Honey. They over there praying on you.
Speaker 2:So why are?
Speaker 1:you, letting them take from you and bring you down to their level we are meant to be elevated.
Speaker 2:God wants us to be boom yes explosive babe okay well, the thing about it for me is just the genuinity. It's just this like it's at a point where everybody's overthinking social media so much and trying to be hyper-genuine that there is no genuinity anymore.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and there's not like.
Speaker 2:This is just who I naturally am and I'm going to throw this post together. Every freaking post I see is some bullshit trying to sell me something or your manufactured version of how you want to be cool yeah and I'm sitting here, I'm like there is no genuine artistry anymore and that's why, like, when stuff rolls around, that's actually like. It's so easy for me to point it out. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've always like is it because you're an artist so you can see it and you're just like? That is where I'm trying to not be.
Speaker 2:Yes, Everybody. So the guy was like the manager or whatever. He just had a studio that I was working at and he was one of the older dudes that was like okay, make a TikTok on it, Do a make 40 on it. Do uh, make 40 tick tocks.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, ain't nobody got no time for that, do you think?
Speaker 2:there's any art in a tick tock. Some of them there are, but like to promote something. Do you think there's any art in the tick tock? No, and like also, I don't think any of the artists I respect and look up to would be pandering and selling themselves On TikTok. Like that, like they're a cheap piece of meat.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to make stuff that's high quality and like, if they want to tune in, they want to tune in, and when they realize that, you know what I mean. I'm not going to cheapen it by putting it out a billion times. I think the world is a lot smaller than people actually think. I think yeah, mentally absolutely. No, I mean like you know how.
Speaker 1:Everybody wants to be like your buddy.
Speaker 2:You know how you run into that person at Target and you're like wow, I didn't expect to see them no, it's a small world.
Speaker 1:You know that phrase yes, it's a small world. Wow, it's so good to see you no, I think it's a lot smaller.
Speaker 2:And then Instagram and shit have made it seem like it's big. So there's not more repercussions, but like when you think about it, it's a lot smaller than you think, because everybody in my life listens to this podcast. You know what I mean. So it's like.
Speaker 2:Clearly we don't have a whole lot Between the two of us to the four green onions listeners right thank you so much for tuning in to LA San Bernardino today it's funny we've been all over Cali we've been everywhere, like every time, I just say something oh, that lotion smells so good have we? We've been everywhere. Like every time I just say something oh, that lotion smells so good he's over here sniffing this Dr Teal he's like, but that was a good one. Did I just ramble too long?
Speaker 1:That was a good one, no.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:No, so Noah, mm-hmm, what is on the agenda?
Speaker 2:to cook for dinner tonight? Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1:Clearly I'm hungry.
Speaker 2:I can give you one of the sandwiches I made.
Speaker 1:What kind of sandwich did you make, as you're over here meal prepping at 4 am in?
Speaker 2:the morning, so you left last night. It was like 3. No, it was earlier than that. I played two games of two games.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I know I texted you when I got home.
Speaker 2:It was like you buy the 83-cent bread at Kroger the one that's like discounted you throw it in the fridge but then you broil it, butter and then roast beef bacon. I cook the rest of the bacon and then um, jalapenos, mayo, and then lettuce and tomatoes.
Speaker 1:Just kidding, I don't put those on, but if you want, them like yeah, because I was like someone doesn't be soggy as a mofo. No, no, but yeah, did you already put?
Speaker 2:the mayo on it no.
Speaker 1:But yeah, Did you already put the mayo on it?
Speaker 2:No, okay, no, I mean.
Speaker 1:I made it for me.
Speaker 2:I have another one in there, but I just don't have bacon. I meant to buy a pack of bacon yesterday. I didn't know. Bacon came in such weird variety of pieces. There's like a bacon for like 25, like a 25-pack of bacon, and then there's like six pieces. It's like a bacon for like 25 like a 25 pack of bacon, and then there's like six pieces. It's like what? Where's the middle ground?
Speaker 1:six piece bacon. Is that that pre-cooked bacon?
Speaker 2:no, it was like 10 online. No, it was like the one we made last night for the burgers oh, I don't know. I always buy big packages of bacon, that's why I was surprised because I thought what I had bought was a big pack of bacon. And then I'm like there's only 10 slices in here and they deceive it to where you've got to peel it apart, and then you're like, wait, there's less than I think. You've got hoes you got burnt here.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh my, it was on sale.
Speaker 2:exactly, it was on sale I have been doing that, though it's weird to be. This year has been a year of like becoming an adult, in the aspect of I go to the grocery store and I'm looking at the tag and I'm being like, okay, my code that I put in at the cash register, how much money would it knock off?
Speaker 1:you know what I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2:I just never thought like it's like peter pan, I want to remain somewhat in touch to my childhood. It's like walking in the home Home Depot and being like oh look, knobs. When you do that you're dead. Like your youth is dead, you're dead as a kid. I don't know, I want to still have that.
Speaker 1:I mean you can be in touch with your childhood, but as far as bills and stuff, you will have to definitely pay it. I got to deal with that yeah, so suck that up, buttercup. If you want to be in touch with your childhood, go to the park and go down the slide, and that's about as good as it's probably going to get, or play basketball.
Speaker 2:I'm going to do that after this. You were asking me that.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm going to do. No, I was asking you about dinner.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:I was not asking about what you were going to do after this. Let's do Mexican Mexico.
Speaker 2:Mexico.
Speaker 1:I'm actually going to a wedding and I don't know if they're having this wedding, so hopefully something yummy. Remember I had a whole day because it was like podcast it's in Dixon. We're going to drop the little minions off after the soccer game at the daycare which I'm so excited about. That's the highlight of the day, not even the go to the wedding and dress up and see someone you know fall in love and get married. It's not that it's dropping them little minions off. I'm like, yeah, party time well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2:I went to a wedding, I was in a friend of mine's like party and it was in kind of like addictions spot, like farther out, but like gorgeous. You know what I mean scenery wise, um and so I was, and those small town like you get out of whatever environment you're in and you like, feel like a different small town, like stars, hollow, gilmore girls environment and it's just so cool, like it's so refreshing to the soul everybody says hello, hello neighbor, hello neighbor I leave it to beaver moment.
Speaker 2:Yeah hi neighbor, hi jane, hi robert, yes we figured that out last night that there's like it's a Wonderful Life, and Holiday Inn are like a certain type of movie that I just grew accustomed to.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And that I thought everybody had seen. And then I thought everybody had seen the Wiz Khalifa Snoop Dogg high school movie also.
Speaker 1:And then Friday everybody's seen Friday. Well, everybody did at the table did see Friday, but as far as the whole, no bro, you remember the Wiz Khalifa Snoop Dogg movie yeah, but I never watched it oh, I never either.
Speaker 2:I just got well, they instruct you. In the first five minutes of the movie, an animated joint walks across the screen and it goes. You need to get as high as possible to watch this movie, and I did so. I technically saw it, but you know, I clocked back in at the last five minutes exactly, you got too high well, that's what he told me to do. The animated joint.
Speaker 1:He wasn't very descriptive in his instructions.
Speaker 2:He was not very.
Speaker 1:He was not very, he's like you're high, but not too high.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:It's like go low, medium, low.
Speaker 2:You should have been at 350, not on broil High school, noah was like oh yeah, animated joint on the screen, that's who I'm going to listen to. No, probably not a good idea, noah. Or like when I watch Family Guy, why am I relating with Brian? It's like no, probably not. He's the worst one. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness Peter.
Speaker 2:Peter Right.
Speaker 1:Peter.
Speaker 2:Griffin or what was that Like on my like when I'm swiping my For you page has turned into like strictly SpongeBob stuff but like old, like prime, like in that window of like the cool stuff and like there's like my favorite line in it is when Squidward's like talking to him and I don't know what they thought of because it doesn't go anywhere but it pans to Spongebob just walking, real cool like, and then he goes. Who put you on the planet? And it's like I don't know. Spon sponge bob. Thank you for like opening my mind up to such a deep existential thing, you know yeah, you're probably related to the wrong stuff and then and then my friends.
Speaker 2:they didn't let their kids watch it because they lived in bikini bottom and I didn't realize until 12 that there were such things as Bikini Bottom.
Speaker 1:Oh, Okay, yeah, and they have panty raids too. That's what I'm talking about too as well.
Speaker 2:The panty raid. That's where I had the question I was like hold on.
Speaker 1:This is for kids.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No, Nickelodeon was just slick. They was throwing that in there, Guy.
Speaker 2:I can't remember Well animators in general, like Courage, I think, even regular show. I think Cartoon Network in particular, because they ain't diddling shit Like Spongebob.
Speaker 1:Maybe they're a part of it, but even in some movies, but Cartoon.
Speaker 2:Network. They're open to hiring people that are probably a little far out there. Because, Courage is scored like a horror movie. Who would think that about a kid's show? And kids are very susceptible.
Speaker 1:You can make them watch anything. Just look at some of the Disney movies. I can't remember which movie it is, but one of them the character has a boner.
Speaker 2:Okay, not intentionally, look that up, not intentionally.
Speaker 1:Not intentionally. Not intentionally, you're drawing this person. It had to be some kind of intent.
Speaker 2:Jamie, look that up.
Speaker 1:You didn't know how to take the eraser.
Speaker 2:Jamie's looking up if there's a boner in a Disney movie.
Speaker 1:Jamie kind of slow, we just hired Jamie. Jamie, you're about to get fired. Unemployment, actually. Actually, you won't get it Because you haven't been here long enough.
Speaker 2:We just got the call. You gotta go. I'm sorry, anna, didn't like you I don't like your white slip.
Speaker 1:We can't afford color right now. No color paper.
Speaker 2:That's why you're getting fired. So we can afford color paper, because it's so important.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Oh, bless it be, that's it no, but like Adventure Time, for example, I did like a huge there you go, your joke wait, hold on.
Speaker 1:Yes, anyway, looked it up, the Noah Jamie, you are a wackadoodle.
Speaker 2:But um.
Speaker 1:No, that's his feet bro, he's a dwarf, that ain't that.
Speaker 2:No, that looks like a penis.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm Told you Damn Okay, I know they can jack us in you Damn. Okay, I know they can jack us up, can I get?
Speaker 2:one head of something that I used to like as a kid. That's not like a psycho weirdo, can I get one? It's just been like a cruel real. It's like glass breaking over my head. It's like nope, can't like that anymore, pssh, nope, pssh, nope, nope, nope, it's like I just want to listen to kanye.
Speaker 1:He made graduation. Why do I have to?
Speaker 2:think about all my ethics when I'm like trying to consume media now see, I thought lion king and aladdin was fine yeah, okay, I am for the Mufasa prequel, even if it's live action. Who cares?
Speaker 1:I don't want to see no live stuff, not when it comes to Lion King, but it's a Mufasa prequel.
Speaker 2:So, let me see my mom. No but it's like I thought the live action one was pretty.
Speaker 1:No, it was, but. I guess, because I've originally seen it animated. So can we just kind of go old school and go animation, and then you can do live action later on in life they can't do animation like the original one anymore, that's like drawn. You mean no one draws anymore?
Speaker 2:I'm not watching a Lion king. That's in the animation style of moana I would you would yeah, I like good artistry. Well, I watched the lion king like a million times. And that's why the story of lion king when I thought live action, I was like okay, that'll actually be kind of cool. He gets trampled by wildebeests. I was like I get to see that live action. It's just they need more money in the CGI team because it's not as good as they think it is.
Speaker 1:It's not satiating the public. These kids are going to be in therapy.
Speaker 2:It's not satiating the public. It's not about them, it's about me, huh.
Speaker 1:It's about me. I don't care about the other people, it's about me. What do I want?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's what I want.
Speaker 2:Well, it's not satiating me Pause.
Speaker 1:Didn't I just say it's about me? Wait, it's not about me either like when I go to the movie, it's not about me, it's about you, even if you're not there. So I went to twister last month and we had about me, about me that was two months ago.
Speaker 2:Shout out that movie.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was two months ago, woo, woo, almost two months ago. Because what was that? Second episode, first episode we didn't talk about it. It's like second.

Speaker 1:So this says I don't know who is that. I need a plus 40. I'm almost there.
Speaker 2:No, like nutrition facts on labels right.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So it says serving size one bottle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but how many people in this one bottle can drink this bottle?
Speaker 2:No, but it says one bottle. Yeah, but how many people in this one bottle can drink this bottle? No, but it says one bottle for a day, for like a week. And that's what I'm thinking about, because I had this thought the other day. I'm like when do the effects of this one bottle wear off, to where maybe I can get another one? It doesn't give me a time frame, maybe I can get another one. It doesn't give me a time frame until I can consume the next one.
Speaker 1:So you need a time frame.
Speaker 2:To drink Powerade is what I'm saying, but that's like with every drink. Why does that not have like a? It'll wear off in an hour, you know? Is that just a me thought?
Speaker 1:Well, that should be the disclaimer it wears off yeah, campaign it wears off exactly, and I think with the one bottle, though you need to tell me how many people can share this bottle like, because I know eight ounces. Think about that's one cup, so the one bottle. How many people could drink it? Probably one how many ounces is it?
Speaker 2:but this was in 2022, so I just drank some um how many ounces front of the bottle? How do you read ounces? In the front of the bottle oh, it's 1.25 pints, so 20 fluid 20 fluid ounces.
Speaker 1:Divide that so you can get about two and a half.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was produced at the Coca-Cola company in Atlanta, Georgia.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the dirty sale I've been there like four times.
Speaker 2:I love that place.
Speaker 1:So two and a half people can drink that. Have you ever been to the Coke Museum?
Speaker 2:No, I don't even drink coke I am a big person so I'm pretty sure I'm good. But there's a part of the coke museum where you walk in and they have like soda fountains from different countries and you get to try. Like they have crazy flavors everywhere, so they have like a soda fountain from japan, germany, like and it's so fun. It's like and you get like a taste test cup and you just walk around, you're like it's like a wine tasting of sodas that's pretty cool it's like my dream to have that in my house.
Speaker 2:Oh okay, no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1:I'm like when you it to the kitchen, if you had everybody test-trying drinks. They're like nah, I'm too full to eat.
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:So two and a half. You can get two and a half eight ounces out of that Power. It.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just two times. Eight is 16 plus a four.
Speaker 2:But the serving size says one bottle. And when does it wear off?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not really like a serving size, though. That's what I don't understand the whole one bottle thing. But if you look on an actual water bottle it's 16.9, and it says you can get about three servings out of that. Wait, but Okay, let's get off this.
Speaker 2:I'm confused.
Speaker 1:Maybe because I've taken a lot of nutrition classes.
Speaker 2:I'm like I should probably be listening more, but I just got that like that felt like you were explaining to me what x was and I was like, yep, nope too much geometry.
Speaker 1:You're over here worrying about when does this wear off?
Speaker 2:so I can drink the next one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not like a pain pill in your life. When am I going to feel all this pain again?
Speaker 2:I can slowly feel it currently, but when can I nurse it again?
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, so you work tomorrow. It's this Sunday.
Speaker 2:It's Sunday. I do work tomorrow. Yeah, Wow, it took me a second to think about it.
Speaker 1:Well, normally, because we record on a Friday instead of recording on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 2:It's like a gr gray scale at this point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, literally, literally.
Speaker 2:We just find it Mm-hmm. I figured out that like it's like a.
Speaker 1:Whenever the mood hits.
Speaker 2:No, it's a abacus and, like, certain stuff leans a certain way and I just have to accept that that's how life is. But we leans a certain way and I just have to accept that that's how life is. We have priorities, people have priorities. You can't like put yourself higher on the priority list.
Speaker 1:No, clearly not. I have to, I want to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too. We're just not at that stage yet.
Speaker 1:I don't want to be retired by the time I get to that stage.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to put myself on that big priority list right now.
Speaker 2:Sheesh me too.
Speaker 1:I am number one, number one, you, the best. What is wrong with them? We tired, we tired, we sleepy.
Speaker 2:No, we're not. Oh, dude, I like the morning ones better, I think it makes me feel.
Speaker 1:No, you said you like the night dude, I like the morning ones better. I think it makes me feel.
Speaker 2:No, you said you like the night ones. I'm very swayable.
Speaker 1:Right now it's morning, so you're like it's such a beautiful day out there, so I love the morning ones and after this we're having a great conversation, and then we have productive days, you know. I don't know, we have productive days, but that was nice that you positive thoughts and what we talk about at the opening oh no, it's definitely positive that we're not going to have a productive day.
Speaker 1:Positive, yeah, it's positively negative it's, it's positively empty glass empty right let's talk about people and their generosity of people, because oh, yeah, yeah. Some people don't believe in like tipping.
Speaker 2:Like you know, waitresses, I had an experience last week and it was somebody I didn't like, off jump of meeting them and somehow we ended up at dinner and I'm just sitting there and he's like, he's's like one of the stock fund guys Like just you want to punch them on impact.
Speaker 2:He's like, yeah, I own like four businesses and like half of my stock is in Bitcoin. And I was like, oh my God, it was like an unbearable conversation and it throughout the dinner. The food was amazing, but throughout the dinner he was telling me. Throughout the dinner, he was telling me he's like this is a spot I go to all the time. I love this place, blah, blah.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, okay, which I'm trying to like this guy like I'm trying to you know yeah, and we were with a group, so I'm I'm it's easy to be like kind of a chameleon for me sometimes and, um, so he's saying about how much he likes it. Mind you, it's just at his place that I have to stay and we got up to leave and I'm a tipper, like I tip big right always I always do like 100 or like maybe 80, because I know what it's like to be in, because I know what it's like to be in service. You know what it's like to be in service.
Speaker 1:It sucks.
Speaker 2:And I like write my tip. And then I look over because he's sitting next to me and I see his check and it has 0.00 on it, douchebag Well, not just like a line or a zero, because I would get that or cash Zero, dot, zero, zero, yeah, the intent of that. I drove home. Yeah, I told you yeah, I'm not staying there, fuck you, I want to hit you immediately. You, yeah, I, I'm not staying there, fuck you, I want to hit you immediately. And then I drove six hours that night, along with driving six hours there, because I just like felt so mad about that situation.
Speaker 1:I don't know, maybe it's the service thing where no, I just think, even if you don't get the best service no, the food was phenomenal.
Speaker 2:And the whole time he's like, yeah, this shit's great. I'm like, yeah, it is great, thanks for taking us here, and I'm a good person, you know so I'm very like and then for him to put on this front like he is and then me look at his check and I'm like it literally took like there was a minute period. She had to pull me up because I was like double taking but even if the service was bad, you still should tip like.
Speaker 1:I still think you should always tip regardless.
Speaker 2:You don't know what they're going through that night like what the unit is what manager they have on at that point like there's so many dynamics to working the service thing and like but it's just like you should always it's, just always it's just a.
Speaker 1:Thing always tip or not even always be generous but then this mofo is over here bragging about what he does and his money. So you meaning him, you got money in your pocket and you're so selfish and greedy that you don't even you don't leave no damn tip. That's how y'all stop talking to my sister for like three months when she tipped some guy like a dollar, and so imagine what I can do with this guy.
Speaker 2:Just man, you tip zero dollars no, but not zero, zero, dot zero zero I mean, there's an intention with writing that dot zero, zero at the.
Speaker 2:And then you go there all the time Like that .00 makes me think you put yourself above everybody else when it's not your money. You told me when I walked in that your parents have all the money, so automatically I'm like we're in bumfuckville Stupid place and you're thinking owning property here is cool. And then you have the nerve to talk to me like I'm just some peon, oh no. And then tip 0.00, I almost tore that restaurant up. I was about to go behind the bar and just no, I'm joking, I don't know and based on the other factors of that situation, it kind of just boiled up to a point.
Speaker 1:But once again, like I say, people owe it to themselves to be good people.
Speaker 2:And be generous.
Speaker 1:And have an open heart now tipping $1.
Speaker 2:But you explain like hey, I'm really tight right now.
Speaker 1:Blah blah blah. Then you don't go. Then you don't go I mean the person in the room Then you don't go. Then you don't go, exactly, you don't go, I agree, if you can't tip appropriately, if you can't plan, for a meal and put tip in the bill before you even go don't go. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry it starts at 15 and go up.
Speaker 2:Okay, how do you feel about like at Jimmy John's when they like you're still 15%? Really, yes, I do that too.
Speaker 1:I don't. I always tip, otherwise I'm not going to order, I'm not going.
Speaker 2:It's embarrassing, no, but I'm talking about, like, your card being declined. Yeah, i'm'm gonna hold it out you do that? Yeah, I tip now, the only time I don't tip.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you when I don't tip. When I order online at the, let's say, because in our town we have a um chinese restaurant, we also have a japanese restaurant, but and I have to go they don't deliver. So I have to go and pick it up. Which one? Huh, huh.
Speaker 2:Is it like a?
Speaker 1:It's a Chinese place in my little small town. Okay, cool, but I have to go and pick it up. I got to get out the car. They don't even do curb fight. I have to get out the car. Why am I giving you a tip and you are?
Speaker 2:the owner.
Speaker 1:You're the owner, that's fixing the food, you're getting all the cheese.
Speaker 2:Anna.
Speaker 1:You're thinking about the wrong thing here, so I don't tip this, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Just to say they don't have car. I always walk in.
Speaker 1:Well, if I don't Well, I order online.
Speaker 2:That's why no, but that's the thing when I order online like I used to order online at Drake's a lot. I would get the burgers and I'd walk in and I'd be like I'm here for my order and I'd just stand at the host stand. I've never done the car stuff, so that's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, some people will come. If you go to Crumble, they'll bring it to your car, and if I know if I have them bring it to your car and, if I know, if I have them, bring it to my car.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tip them. She is very demure.
Speaker 1:Demure, demure.
Speaker 2:Demure.
Speaker 1:This is little Nana.
Speaker 2:She just walked across the thing with her little doggy, little old lady walking her little Datsun.
Speaker 1:She ain't going to pick up that ish on the ground Wait did he poop and she didn't pick it up. He's about to.
Speaker 2:Yes, she will. But I got to bet. Hey, think of the positive.
Speaker 1:I bet she ain't going to bend down and pick it up. Okay, I'm positive she will not the four knee replacement. But like crumble, like, if I have them, bring the cookies to the car. Yes, I'm going to tip, because you're one. You're going above and beyond, out your way.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I'm too lazy to go in the store.
Speaker 2:First of all, it's literally right there. I don't know why, how lazy you can get, but don't worry, I've had those moments. I, I do. I literally, last week, was just on the couch. You, I was just on the couch and I ordered shake shack and I spent 40 dollars and had this person, like I said, leave by the door, and I just sat here for like 30 minutes, just like I was watching barry, which also I finished it in the past week and it's a great show.
Speaker 2:So if anybody wants a show, to watch barry's great. It's about a hitman that deals with confidence issues yes, and becomes an actor yeah, uh hbo hbo yeah it is a little violent, but I violence. It's kind of like mixed with it's Bill.
Speaker 1:Hager Comedy. Yeah, exactly, it has some comedy in it.
Speaker 2:Which I'm very late to the party on this. I had somebody tell me like four years ago that I needed to watch it and now I am, which is usually how I do media stuff. I don't Like every Cardi album, like Playboi Cardi I hate for like a year and a half and I'll like I'll listen a whole lot of red like back to back to back now because I just love it. Or even his like feet, I love it song, his verse. I hate the whole rest of the song but his verse and if you read the lyrics to what he's saying that's very inaudible, it's brilliant. I don't know why. I didn't think my my arc as a human would put me at a point of liking playboy cardi, but yeah it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1:You said your arc and your name is noah. Oh, I'm so sorry no that's the.
Speaker 2:There's that soprano scene that I sampled in like the new song. I have and he's like he's a Polly, he's talking to Polly. He's like where's my heart, polly, cause? He's like trying to write a screenplay and. Polly's, like you know, who had no heart, noah, and then that was like the end of the song. He's like trying to write a screenplay. Yeah, and Polly's, like you know who had Nohawk, no, and then that was like the end of the song.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Which I still haven't seen Really. I've seen episodes Like I know the premise and where it ends up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's good stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know I need to like sit there and actually watch it.
Speaker 1:That's my next one.
Speaker 2:And that's.
Speaker 1:It's a bingeable show, yeah.
Speaker 2:If you find a pocket in that show, you can't stop.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Until your eyes close and then you wake up the next day. It's like Exactly there are some shows when they get you hooked. It's done.
Speaker 1:It's going down for real.
Speaker 2:It's like doom scrolling it's super easy to it's really easy to trick the human mind, isn't it? It's crazy how we're gullible very, but breaking bad's a great breaking bread is breaking brad.
Speaker 1:Breaking bad is a great show.
Speaker 2:I don't know man, I didn't know. There was a show about brad pitt's therapy sessions not yet, but he's probably got a reality show?
Speaker 1:yeah, he's probably got a reality show I mean, if you can stay married to angelina joe lee. You right, you need some therapy what's she talking about?
Speaker 2:she's fine as hell. You don't think she's pretty?
Speaker 1:no, she has a great heart. I love that about her, but you haven't seen mr and mrs sm yes, I have really yeah, um yeah, no wait, they broke up, I know, but they were married enough and together, and no yeah I mean no brad pitt, after his divorce, was at the frank ocean concert.
Speaker 2:Have you seen that? No, so frank ocean. When he dropped blonde, he was doing that tour yeah which great like one of the greatest albums of all time. Well, quote, unquote depends who you tell.
Speaker 2:But um, he went to a show because he had just divorced angelina and he like really was like thinking about and that album was a comfort to him. So when he went to frank's show he put like a vhs camera on him and he was the one like on the phone. Frank told him on stage he's like just look like you're on the phone and be sad. And he just like the song he loved was playing.
Speaker 2:It was sigfried and he's just playing it and he's like and on the main screen at the concert it's just Brad Pitt. It was great. I love all the lore. There's lore to shit you gotta understand the lore. Bless you.
Speaker 1:I coughed and he said bless me.
Speaker 2:I do it with everybody, every bodily function that happens. If you fart, I'll say bless you bless you, child.
Speaker 1:Bless you. Who were we talking to? No, you were talking to someone and you told me they said they didn't believe in karma oh yeah that's weird I agree that's very weird, like who doesn't?
Speaker 2:there's a point for me where I gotta believe in something bigger than myself. I can't just be in a constant pocket of thinking I'm the only like thing that matters, or like is controlling things. I gotta give up some responsibility somewhere but who can think?
Speaker 1:let's just think about will you do something you shouldn't do?
Speaker 2:that is negative I'm not saying like it's gonna come back to you in the same form that you gave it out, but there's some kind of consequence somehow, some way way, yeah, and I think that's fundamentally like narcissism, like if you don't think, or also you got to view it in the way of maybe it's how you were raised and you don't know that this is a bad thing. Is that something that could come across the table there?
Speaker 1:I think people know when things are good and bad. I think you get that gut instinct.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're like this is not.
Speaker 1:The thing is do you own it? Do you own that? This is not a great thing.
Speaker 2:I used to shoplift when I was very young and it made my heart beat fast.
Speaker 1:It should.
Speaker 2:I won't do it now because the heart beating fast. Yes, and it's been like 10 years. I'm not 14 anymore. You know when you go into target and then put pants under your pants and the dress, you know what I mean, not yes, I know people who do it, but anna don't, and csg, so, like the heart beating fast, as a 14 year old made me be like oh I'll do it again.
Speaker 2:And then you think about when you become like 16, what is this doing to my soul? And then you just never do it again and that's like, but like you think, oh, I'm sticking it to a massive corporation you're like no, you're not really no, you're making it harder on the inventory for the employees.
Speaker 1:You're rejecting up the prices. It's a whole cycle of things.
Speaker 2:That's why yesterday it kind of clicked for me. It's like I'm just going to try to be good, even if I do something wrong, in the attempt of trying to be good.
Speaker 1:Acknowledge it.
Speaker 2:Well, take accountability.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And then try to figure the right way to do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and learn, and learn. Well, the first thing is acknowledging that it even happened to take that accountability.
Speaker 2:Well, learn, acknowledge to learn to how to deal with that situation when it comes across your plate next time, as opposed to like you got it. Karma is not. There's this thing with religion in general. That's like strictly fear. Like the first thing I learned about in Bible study is hell Right. So it's like it's this fear thing where you also got to think about what about the love? Like we have a book on the art of war right.
Speaker 2:There is no book about the art of love and 90% of the Bible is love A hundred, like a hundred percent of it.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's why we don't have a book of war. Uh love, because there's the Bible.
Speaker 2:Well, there's so much like fear in it and I don't think love contains any of that. And that's where my needles get crossed, like if I love somebody unconditionally, which all that I'm not going to like if I got to do what I got to do, I'm going to do it. If I got to, you know I'm not going to document it, or you know I I. There's this thing to me where it's like we have just all this study on hurting people and war and there's no study into like it's it's very harder to find a study into an authentic study into human emotion and love, and that's why these kids are out here, don't know how to communicate, don't know how to it's it.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean by that at all no, no, you're right, you're all.
Speaker 1:No, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. That was one of the ideas I had.
Speaker 2:I always remember Anna came over and I'm talking to her and I was like I had three ideas today and she goes yesterday and she goes did you write them down? And I go nope. And she's like what were they? And I was like I forgot and I what's funny is I remember them as I'm talking to you well, that's great.
Speaker 1:I'm glad we triggered it um, but yeah, no synapsis but even and I don't want to think of karma as like it's always negative, but when you throw out good stuff in your good person, good things do happen no, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, uh, I think people I went on a crazy tangent with that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I think people always think of as negative, but I don't understand how you cannot think you doing something doesn't have a reaction.
Speaker 2:No, and Isaac can say it for himself. Jamie, look that up. What did Isaac say? Every positive reaction has an equal and lesser known react, or whatever that he's talking about Isaac Newton people, just because he didn't know, yeah. Jamie's getting fired again. He botched me telling me that.
Speaker 1:Can we fire him? He came in here with a stack, I don't know.
Speaker 2:We just fired him like 30 minutes ago we fired him like three times yeah poor dude Keep coming back. He likes that abuse.
Speaker 2:That's his kink. Poor dude's on air. There's a sunny episode. I don't know why that made me think about it, but like frank's in a dog cage and he's. They're playing a board game and one of the um points, like if you lose the round which they lost the round, one of the players has to eat a whole cake in a dog cage, but it's. You have to eat every part of the cake, so he has to eat like a whole bag of flour. But like, but it's like a side thing, like the show's still going on.
Speaker 2:Frank's like danny devito's just in this cage eating and there's a point where Dennis, like Frank, says something and Dennis kicks the cage and he goes. Shut up, you dog. And then he throws his drink at him. That's what it made me think about. What's his name?
Speaker 1:Jimmy Jamie. He's in a dog cage right now. That was the point of that. That's how fast you fired him. You forgot his whole name. I'm like Jamie, he's like. I just had him on.
Speaker 2:We've got to have a different name than Jamie. Next episode we'll have a different name. The Joe Rogan podcast is great.
Speaker 1:You're renaming the employee's government name. That is hilarious. He's going to get a new name. It's going to be like Nick, like what? No, I mean wow.
Speaker 2:Fantasia Jebediah Williamsburg.
Speaker 1:You know, you're naming towns on the East Coast. Jebediah is a town, no but Williams. Williamsburg is in towns on the east coast.
Speaker 2:Jebediah is a town, no but williams no, but on the conversation of karma, karma, just understand. Don't think about karma for a second, but understand that, like the universe has a way of balancing itself out I'm a Libra Scales Balance out the universe, or try to, in the best way you possibly can.
Speaker 1:I'm a fish. Fish how I'm a Pisces Water. Supposedly I'm sensitive. I don't know about all that now.
Speaker 2:however you know, my husband is my husband's a pisces too.
Speaker 1:I don't know how that works out but, yeah, they said we shouldn't marry each other, but it seemed to balance out. Because I'm not sensitive and none of that crap. I love water, he does not. He's like a desert. I don't know what sign that would have been, but um, I'm like wow, and I'm kind of fiery. Maybe I was just born the wrong time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, everybody's born at the right time.
Speaker 1:No, I really don't think I listened. I think Lorde was like hey, you need to be born during a fire sign time.
Speaker 2:No, I'm coming out now, right, and it just happened to be water sign.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just went down that rainbow shoot. I was like I'm coming out, yeah, so I probably, because I am not very, yeah, not very piscesh I don't, yeah, I.
Speaker 2:What I like about mine is mine is like an object. It's not like a fish, like I like, like it's just scale, like balance, balance it out you're pretty balanced person.
Speaker 1:I can see that what?
Speaker 2:there's one with a pig, I don't know, like a little warthog or whatever. No, they have like ligers and stuff. As I'm joking, shout out to nap Dynamite. Hey, all my Aries signs that are ligers.
Speaker 1:Shout out in the comments they're probably like all my astrological all my astrological ligers, let me know all my astrological. I can't wait. We're gonna, you know, have more guests eventually. And like our upcoming two guests that will be on in the next. Well, what we got about I don't know, a month for the next guest, but they're so awesome Like I'm so ecstatic about them I am. I just can't wait.
Speaker 2:I'm so ecstatic and I just can't, the more people we can get once, once the check clears from the big guy oh, he said once we get the podcast endorsement from him, we'll be good. Then I can actually facilitate something, but until then, yeah, I yeah. The guests are awesome. There are so many people that I wish I could have on this.
Speaker 1:Now I think about that's probably why we hired Jamie, because Jamie has done a great job lining that up for us.
Speaker 2:You mean Jebediah?
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah, you named Jebediah Williamson Bird.
Speaker 2:Pink Slip.
Speaker 1:Pimp name. That's the pimp name Pink Slip Pink.
Speaker 2:Slip.
Speaker 1:Hey, look that up Pink Slip.
Speaker 2:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a date rape drink or something.
Speaker 2:Oh don't end it on that. Not after the conversation about karma, you go to the club and they're like, hey, you want a pink slip.
Speaker 1:It's like what is that?
Speaker 2:Excuse me.

Speaker 1:Let me get on the app and get that order so I can go pick it up.
Speaker 2:It'd be ready in 10 hours because that's when they open in the morning and I will still be asleep and I won't make it. I'll cancel that pickup. I swear I do that.
Speaker 1:I had to do that I had to cancel one of my pickups because I, literally, I was just like how do I keep? Well no, I, literally I went to the mall and I actually passed the Target several times in like a three day span and it was just like how come I can't remember to go pick up this order? I'm driving by it Like dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It just got to the point. I was just like you know I'm going to have to go to the regular store and just go get my little thing.
Speaker 2:I think I was getting cough medicine probably.
Speaker 1:You know I always need cough medicine, cough medicine and antibiotics. You know I'm just a hot mess of snot, but yeah, I couldn't remember for Jack Dilley's squat, but I can remember that you were man, I think, like 90% of us being humans, is snot like.
Speaker 2:I wake up, I gotta blow my nose. I fall asleep, I gotta blow my nose yeah, and they had the audacity.
Speaker 1:We're made of water. That water would have thinned out my damn snot, yeah right and I'm like why do you think I drink? I know, look, I got the 65% of the bottle of water I'm about to drink.
Speaker 2:I gotta grow up Because he gets on me too about the plastic ones. I'll drink like eight of those in a day and that's terrible for the environment.
Speaker 1:It is, and what makes it crazy is you actually have I don't like water bottles, though Like metal. But it keeps your drink cold and so many cool.
Speaker 2:My fridge keeps my water cold and I'm pounding one of those little ones in like a minute, but you can't take your fridge with you when you leave the house. I'm going to fuel up on water before I leave and hopefully the place I go has water.
Speaker 1:But what if it's nasty water? Oh no, I'm going to fuel up on water before I leave.
Speaker 2:And hopefully the place I go has water. But what if it's?
Speaker 1:nasty water. Oh no, I'm not who cares, but here's the sucky part, you have actual Brita. So you should be, you know, helping the environment just a little bit.
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 1:I mean yeah you have a hybrid, so I guess you're kind of, but you need to go further.
Speaker 2:And everybody I train. I tell them to put it in the cardboard-only spot when you throw stuff away, you need to be an Al Gore, all right. The sponsor of today's podcast is Haritos mandarin flavor specifically, we love your soda real cane sugar. It's delicious, yummy and satiates my mouth Pause.
Speaker 1:Funny story. I thought it was the tequila that you were. That's why I said what I said.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, it's a soda. Oh, it's a soda, it was the one we had. It was our soda, okay.
Speaker 1:I don't know why.
Speaker 2:I was like tequila. I read like the first two lines of the script they gave me. I'm not reading the rest. We love you though, thank you yes we got banned in Mexico. Are we on the sit on it?
Speaker 1:no we got more points no, we don't, I was a liar we have been running did I tell you what I told that little boy I'm sorry about, don't have the dang school call me, unless he got a pulmonary embolism. Then he asked me what the pulmonary is an embolism was and I said clearly if you don't know what it is, you don't have it what kind of hyper?
Speaker 1:and then he goes to the you know nurse's office and this hoe doesn't even check him, she just takes his word that he's having a pulmonary embolism. The hoe calls me, aka the nurse. She calls me, and I'm just like you know, I can't even be mad with him at this point because I'm like you're the nurse. You shouldn't call me first, you should have called 9-1-1, like if he's really having a pulmonary embolism. I knew the little mofo wouldn't have no pulmonary embolism, but anyways, I drive my ass to the school with my little head wrap on because I'm like this ain't worth taking the head wrap off for. And I go put on sports bra Now we're putting on the wire bra. Go to the school. And he's like I said cough, blow your nose, drink some water, wash your hands, go back to class. We didn't even have to talk about it. I says, and it was the school nurse, the principal, the administrator and the secretary and the assistant principal.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, papa Mary, I don't know what was happening.
Speaker 1:And they were like well, maybe, no, no, no, I'm going to talk, y'all are going to listen. Nurse, Did you get out your little scope and listen? Um, no, hmm, okay, you're a certified nurse, right, you took state boards and all. Yes, that's how you become a nurse at a school, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:Thank you for explaining this to me. Yeah, I'm just like bitch.
Speaker 1:I work in health care, so I already know this. I'm about to check your ass. Just wait for it, honey. Wait for it.
Speaker 2:You're serving it up. Uh, wait for it, you're serving it up. Yeah, I'm waiting for you to take the bait.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm like, come on now. I said so. How do you know he had a pulmonary ismism? Well, you know he has asthma. I says more so. Allergies and lack of blowing my nose and anxiety. Yeah, and okay. So, but even if you felt like he had an asthma attack, don't you think you should still get the scope out? Well, I just didn't. Okay, shouldn't you give him the inhaler? Well, this is okay. Listen, don't ever, because it's called negligence, call me for some fake pulmonary embolism. You, you should have called 9-1-1 there. Ain't ish I can do about that. Yeah, call 9-1-1. They can get to them. They got the sirens. They gonna go through every red light. I need to stop at some red lights, so you need to call them first. I should be the last on the totem pole. Call them then God or God, and them at the same time. I'm the last person, or the Holy Spirit, but I'm the last. I am the last.
Speaker 2:Well, a pulmonary embolism, that's like oh, that's hella serious that's a thing, yeah that's like being like I have seizures every Tuesday casually. It's like, no, that's, I have seizures every Tuesday casually, yeah, and it's like no, that's not a casual thing, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's an issue, but like I didn't want him to call because the day before that he had called.
Speaker 2:She obviously like probably got certified in Louisiana or something.
Speaker 1:No, that ho from here. But no, she yeah, probably Actually the day before they had called my husband saying he had an asthma attack. So my husband just goes to the school, gives him the inhaler. And then I said, jerry, did you feel his chest? He was like, yeah, he was like it was a lot of wheezing in it. I said in his chest. I said whose lungs is in they damn chest? I says that. I said bro, I said that was his congestion, because he doesn't cough all that snot up.
Speaker 2:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:I said the boy is allergic to everything.
Speaker 2:Literally he's allergic like every tree, every flower okay, but when I was that age, I had the allergy test and they did the whole. I was allergic to everything, yeah, but that's what I'm saying that's more allergies than it is asthma. The boy don't run because he ain't got no athletic bone in his body.
Speaker 1:Lord, the boy plays soccer and he walking. I said who walks in soccer? This ain't walk it out, it's run boy, run, run, like your life depending on. And he'll look at me and wave no, don't look at me and wave follow the ball. But so I'm like je you got to do something, to have an asthma attack. I mean, you ain't doing nothing, your heartbeat is not going up at all, like at all, but no so.
Speaker 1:I had to tell him yeah, the next one, don't have a damn school call me, unless you have pulmonary embolism. But his little jealous ass thought his sister was staying home so he wanted to try to get home.
Speaker 2:But dude, if you're really having a pulmonary embolism, you're going to the hospital. You're not coming home and having no, and you go to the hospital for like a while.
Speaker 1:It's not like and you're getting, maybe, diet food when you told me that story like two days.
Speaker 2:Well, it wasn't the whole in-depth one, but I remembered when I was a kid in school and there was a season it was a three-month thing where the lunch there was something with lunch that I didn't like. I can't remember it vividly, you know, it was so long ago, but there was something with lunch I didn't like and I remember always going in to the nurse's office so long ago. But there was something with the lunch I didn't like and I just like. I remember always going in to the nurse's office and like she let me nap on.
Speaker 2:Uh, like one of the cots or beds yeah, and it was just because I didn't like. I think I was probably there was a kid picking on me or something and like she just I was thinking as you were saying that she could see that, and then I would just like I had like a memory of just like being small and looking around like hmm, this is relaxing. And then yeah, man kids, if any way to not confront a situation, they'll figure it out. Oh, oh yeah at least that's how I was there's something behind going to class.
Speaker 1:We get no deal with it whatever it is cough, blow your nose, wash your hands, go back to class. Yeah, no, pokey, um, yeah, and-hmm. And then, yeah, bless his heart, um, but anyways, I just thought I'd throw it out out there with that little, because I thought that was just some bs but yeah, that was like.
Speaker 2:That was awesome as opposed to bf but his damn nurse?
Speaker 1:no, I didn't, does not anybody hear how? This doesn't sound, because I even tell them, even if he throws up, no, send him back to class. The boy got anxiety. Of course he's gonna throw up a few times. That's just the way it is. He'll never go to class then. He's just gonna grow up all the time, or he'd be like I gotta poop. I was like, yeah, that's anxiety because I don't know my anxiety my nieces and nephews. I can tell when their anxiety starts to raise up.
Speaker 2:Because it stinks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because they got to poop. They always got to poop. I got some poop. So, dude, tell me a little bit about that. Sit on this.
Speaker 2:Oh Well, this is. I like this new introduction of what this is, but this is like an outro, that's like a we. We start it with the day, the other quote thing, and then we're out trying I love how you like tell the whole docket what we got going on you're like this is the intro, this is the docket.
Speaker 1:Like they couldn't figure out where beginning and ending.
Speaker 2:Live transparently.
Speaker 1:I mean that's why the books in the Bible are named.
Speaker 2:Genesis and Revelation.
Speaker 1:Magically delicious.
Speaker 2:This is by.
Speaker 1:Anna.
Speaker 2:Akamontova, akamontova, akamontova. I butchered that, but this is called.
Speaker 1:What book is it coming from?
Speaker 2:The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo. This is Keep Colors Wet. The quote is I cannot tell if the day is ending or the world, or if the secrets of secrets is inside me again Pause. What I like about this part, though, is the quote he said about that quote, which it's kind of cool to me about books in general or self-help stuff, that they get that little quote and are able to like. Well, not even that, just articulate how they feel about that little blurb. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but moving on, the longer I live, the harder it is to discern between stronger emotions. They all spill into each other where they begin. The longer I go, though, the more I can tell between not feeling and feeling, for this is all that seems to matter. Not feeling puts me on the sideline, makes the world black and white and me a dry shade of gray. Only feeling keeps me in the scene and keeps the colors wet.
Speaker 2:The other day was very wet. I went for groceries and the old man packing bags was staring off. I knew by his heavy, slivery eyes that he was a widower, and just as he lifted my no-fat cottage cheese, he was seeing her floating somewhere before him, and the soda and the swordfish and the English muffins were piling up as his black belt kept moving. I gently took the cottage cheese from his hand and he returned, looking at me a bit dizzy, to still be here. I've worked so long and hard to be able to feel my way into the lives of others, only to realize we are all this way. And it is not just sad, it is more than sad. It is the ground of heart where we all meet. Sometimes the skin of mind is torn and we are no longer separate beings. When the talking's done, we become still proofs of love. I left the store that day feeling more than one heart should and couldn't tell if I was in trouble or on holy ground, I don't see the world in black and white, I see it in gray.
Speaker 1:I don't see the world in black and white, I see it in gray.
Speaker 2:Well, wait, keep the colors wet, mm-hmm yeah, black and gray wet gray. Well, black and white gray. Black and white wet gray.
Speaker 1:Yes, especially when they mix. Yeah, that's how I see the world. I love that.
Speaker 2:That's a really good quote Mm-hmm, I like that. That's a really good quote.
Speaker 1:I like that. Do you see the world in gray, black and white? Gray or black or white?
Speaker 2:No, gray, always, I think, have full. You've got to be positive and even if somebody else views it in black and white and they don't, they just don't know the scale. There's a scale for everything. You got to think about just somebody's going out, somebody's going through something where their only option is to do the thing that you think is either black or white yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:So and that's the only option for them. So for me to sit here and think everything that is that way, and there's no scale of situations that make stuff gray or scale of environment that helps make a situation gray. Who am I to be the ruler of the universe and not think something out? There is going on that probably shouldn't be, but but I can't control.
Speaker 1:Word.
Speaker 2:I think I summed that up a little bit. I was thinking on that when I was dreaming.
Speaker 1:Dreaming you only what? Slept a couple of hours. I don't know when you had the dream.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's when I have the dreams when I sleep a very short amount of time. I'd be sleeping, though I'll take a nap.
Speaker 1:You probably will.
Speaker 2:I definitely will.
Speaker 1:I'm going to party like a rock star Party, like a rock star.
Speaker 2:All right, everybody. Thank you for joining us on this wonderful September I almost said August. Thank you for joining us on this wonderful September day, anna.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I hope you guys have a fruitful day Wonderful.
Speaker 2:Blessed. And be positive and be happy Even if this was like the positively positivity jerk-off session, like we're just sitting here.
Speaker 1:I mean, we might as well be.
Speaker 2:I mean, what else we're gonna do, like if you're looking at the view we have, we really have no other choice but to be positive green, green, green green green and blue, green and a big turn in the middle of the ground, but when you're green. Damn, she really didn't pick it up. You're right. That knee replacement got to old Susie Lee.
Speaker 1:Hopefully. Well, your neighbor, another neighbor will probably walk in step in it and it'll get picked up, because it's on the bottom of their shoe, mm-mm, oh, I'm not paying anyone else's dog to do I.
Speaker 2:I hope everybody has a wonderful day.
Speaker 1:Yes, and thank you for joining us. Eat and live well, exactly, and we out we out. You should probably fix your settings, I should probably fix that. But you know, hey, tomato, tomato.
