00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, well, welcome back to talking Schmidt Bestie's how

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>are you today? I'll go first. I'm just had a

3
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>mental breakdown because these chairs that I got for the

4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>pod area in my apartment are the same color as

5
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>the wall, and I cannot fathom a world where I

6
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>return them. I can't imagine carrying them down three flights

7
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 1>of stairs to God knows where to return them to

8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>God knows who. And now I just have an apartment

9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that's monochrome. I look like I'm living in a brick

10
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sitting on a brick and I'm just becoming

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a brick. My pants are brick colored. Everything is brick colored,

12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>except for my tears. If you notice, I have under

13
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 1>eye patches on now because I was just crying. No,

14
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't crying, but I was very upset because I

15
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>tried to shoot this and take one. Was me realizing

16
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>that it looks like I'm floating and my chair is

17
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>the same color as my wall. And that's a colossal

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>fuck up. And I'm depressed about it because I was

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>excited about these chairs because they're these like luxurious, luxurious,

20
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck is that word? Why can't I say it? Today?

21
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like word solid, luxurious orange color, like a

22
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>burnt orange color that's so beautiful. But guess what, My

23
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>floors are burned orange and so are my walls. So

24
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I am just living in a burnt orange ball. I'm

25
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the burnt orange ball man. Anyway, besties, hope your Monday

26
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>is off to a better start than mine. All things considered,

27
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great. I really am. I love New York City.

28
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk about New York City?

29
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

30
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Also, before we start talking about how much I love

31
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>New York City, let's talk about the fact I just

32
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>booked some dates in Phoenix. I'm gonna be in Phoenix,

33
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.480

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a quick little.

<v Speaker 1>But I wouldn't. I just wouldn't, uh, because we are

<v Speaker 1>one on the nineteenth. Who knows none of my business.

52
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>My schedule is never any of my business, you guys.

53
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I one time was at a show and I started

54
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>crowdworking about Texas and I was like, oh, Texas. It's

55
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 1>really just fucking strange here, isn't it. You guys, dud

56
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>da da da da about Texas? Whatever the fuck I

57
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>was saying. And everyone was looking at me with blank

58
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>stairs and I was like, what is going on here?

59
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, you are in Oklahoma City. Oh, and

60
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>I got a delivery one second. That delivery system is

61
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be the death of me. In case you

62
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>guys care. They Amazon comes by the way all hours

63
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of the night. They come at three am, four am

64
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 1>and they ring that bell and I'm just like.

65
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't need my dry shampoo. That bad.

66
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll have another day of greasy hair. Like read

67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the room, the room is asleep, Let me sleep, let

68
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>me rest. And it's such a startling sound. Right every

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>time I hear it, my cortisol spikes. I just don't.

70
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that aspect of being in New York City.

71
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that I don't have a doorman. That

72
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>feels like I didn't realize it was gonna be such

73
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 1>a problem because I never lived here before. But what

74
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that means is if I'm not home to receive a

75
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>package when the little bell rings, I don't get the

76
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>package and it just goes back to the warehouse or

77
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>like the shipping center, FedEx or ups. And it's like,

78
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that's fine if it was indeed just dry shampoo all

79
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the time, But what's getting shipped right now are like

80
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>couches and shelves and shit like that. Also, I'm furious

81
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>about these chairs. The rage that burns within me pretty significant.

82
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Not gonna lie. I was really excited about these chairs. Anyway, Listen,

83
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 1>nothing matters. We're all gonna die at the end of

84
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the day. Am I really going to remember that I

85
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>even had chairs that matched my walls in New York City.

86
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm really not. What I am going to remember about

87
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>New York City is what happened to me yesterday. I

88
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 1>had to go to Ramoa. Oh the birds are backing,

89
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have to feed the birds. Are they're gonna

90
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>get mad at me? In case you're wondering what codependent

91
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>relationships have taken the place of the relationship that I

92
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 1>was just in, the codependent relationship is the relationship I

93
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>have made with the New York City birds. All right.

94
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>When I was laying on my ear mattress when I

95
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 1>first moved in, I was just a little like, did

96
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I make the right move? Did I is this the

97
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>right call? And a cardinal landed on my fire escape,

98
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think cardinals are often spirit animals, like they

99
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>come from you know. I think there's like some significant

100
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>research on this. I don't think I'm the brainchild of this.

101
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals are are spirit animals. So I think maybe it

102
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>was my mom or my grandma, are Big Eye or whoever,

103
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>just reassuring me that I did the right thing. But

104
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my gosh, I should get a

105
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>bird feeder, and then there's gonna be cardinals here all

106
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the time. Wrong. It's now I'm getting bullied by birds.

107
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I got a little bird feeder and there's these little

108
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>shit birds. Little tousled. That's a word I've used before,

109
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's never been real, and it never will be,

110
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna continue to use it with they're tossled

111
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>feathers like they've just got the shit kicked out of

112
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>them on the subway. And they come and they stand

113
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>on my fire escape and they yell at me until

114
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I feed their little filled their little bird dish up.

115
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And the problem is the bird dish wouldn't keep getting destroyed.

116
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>But now the puge holes have found out about it.

117
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>And there's big old battye pigeons. And when I tell you,

118
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 1>every bird that comes here looks like they just can't

119
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>flew out of a homeless shelter. I mean it is

120
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the most rough and tumble looking birds there's been nothing

121
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>even remotely resembling a cardinal. But I love them. I

122
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>love them. I love these ugly little shitty birds. And

123
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I like the pigeons too. I like

124
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>all birds. I have reached. I've reached the big olde

125
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of I love a bird. There is a there's a

126
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>turning point in one's life when they start to appreciate birds,

127
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what it is, you just get

128
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>captivated by their majesty. And I remember, right after I

129
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>got divorced, I was dating this guy. He was like

130
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>a few years older than me, and he was so

131
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>into birds. He knew the name of every species. He

132
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>would go bird watching. Wow a species and luxurious or

133
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>words I cannot say today. He knew every species, he

134
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>would go birdwatching, and I was like, this fucking dork.

135
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>But he had a big old dong, so I was like, whatever,

136
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a fucking whatever. Dude, call me a

137
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>cardinal and fuck me doggie style, like I do not care.

138
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>But he was just like really into birds, and I

139
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, this guy's a fucking weirdo. And now I'm

140
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>really into birds. And look a bird was outside just

141
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>yelling at me, being like, where's the food, bitch? Because

142
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>every day I fill up their little jar and little

143
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 1>dish and every day it's gone by like four pm.

144
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of cool.

145
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's like a little ecosystem of shit

146
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>birds outside of my my fire escape, outside of my window.

147
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed with my windows. I feel like I'm living

148
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>in the trees. I'm on the third floor of the apartment,

149
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>so I'm exactly at tree top level, and I'm just

150
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with this place. I didn't even know if I

151
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>would like New York. I love New York. I am obsessed.

152
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I was telling you I was going to

153
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Ramoa yesterday, which, by the way, what a scam. The

154
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>scam of all scams is the Ramoa suitcase. They're like,

155
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it's the last piece of luggage you're ever gonna have

156
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to own because they claim to be unbreakable. I had

157
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>mine for fucking six weeks and it broke. The wheel

158
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 1>busted off it when I moved here, so when I

159
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 1>was coming here with four suitcases and I never needed

160
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a wheel to move to work more, it broke. When

161
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>I arrived at LaGuardia, the wheel on my Ramoa was broken.

162
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>You know what wasn't broken My Samsonite, my swimmy Swammy

163
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Samsonite that I've had forever, which is just like an

164
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty dollars suitcase that is the highest quality suitcase I've

165
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 1>ever had, and I could pack a dead body in

166
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 1>that bitch. And my toomy that I've had forever. My

167
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>toomy looks like it went to war. It is lime green,

168
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>It has more sticker go on it than a fucking

169
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>one of my trapper keepers in middle school.

170
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>It looks like shit, but it is a great suitcase.

171
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>This Ramoa. We fucking pop our pussy for this luxury suitcase.

172
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>It breaks in six weeks and then I have to

173
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>with a broken wheel, I can't wheel it across town.

174
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I now have to get an Uber to go to Ramoa,

175
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a fifty by the way, Uber's here the

176
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>price couching in this city. I I'm ready to call

177
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the cops. Like it's fifty dollars to go anywhere in

178
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>an Uber. The subway system is fine. I'm figuring it out,

179
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not like so comfortable that I'm like, I'm

180
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna take my Romoa to Soho. I'm not like there

181
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>yet emotionally, mostly because I don't want to bother people

182
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>by having a suitcase on a train, even though I

183
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 1>know people have suit on the train. I just like,

184
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm self conscious about like getting in

185
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>people's way, and like New Yorkers are so intense, I

186
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>don't want them to get mad at me. Anyway, whatever,

187
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>long story, long as fuck. I go to Ramoa drop

188
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 1>it off. They're like, oh, this is a brand new bag.

189
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 1>We don't know how it broke. And I'm like, yeah,

190
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>gee gee me neither. They're like, are you going anywhere soon?

191
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, yeah, I'm going to France on Friday,

192
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>which I'll tell you guys that about that later. That

193
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>was like a last minute decision I made. I'm being like,

194
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 1>borderline insane. I don't know if I'm having a spiritual

195
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>awakening or a manic episode, but either way, it's none

196
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>of my business. I'm going to Santra pe Bach. Mama's

197
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>getting a spray tand she's thrown a Bikinian and she's

198
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna go shake her ass at Nikki Beach, all right,

199
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Because I think the keyre for anything is France. Always,

200
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>It's always France. France is just a nurturing place for

201
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>my soul. Anytime I'm going through anything, I run away.

202
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I usually run away to Paris. I'm only spending two

203
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 1>days in Paris. We're gonna go to Nice, as I've

204
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>been calling it nice, very nice. My friends don't love

205
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.879
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna go to Nice. We're gonna go to Santralpe.

206
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna go to z and then we're gonna go

207
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 1>to Paris. And that's that anyway. So I dropped the

208
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>suitcase off at Remo. I don't worry you, guys. I'm

209
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not losing my train of thought.

210
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm gonna walk back.

211
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 1>It's been beautiful in New York the last couple of days.

212
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>It is. The weather is perfect. It's like seventy five,

213
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>seventy six, sunny, little breeze, perfect, perfect, perfect. So I

214
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 1>get my little decaf lante. Mama loves a decaf latte, which,

215
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I watched her pour the lante. I've

216
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 1>never watched anyone poor a latte before. And this is

217
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna let you know how stupid I can be. And

218
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I will admit to that. It's a latte is pretty

219
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 1>much a cup of milk? Did we know this? Did

220
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone know that? We were just drinking milk? Like I

221
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>clown my dad because he drinks out of the container

222
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>like Vitamin D milk every morning.

223
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like disgusting, but that's low key.

224
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>What I've been doing. I watched her make it and

225
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>it was just like all milk, and I was like, wait,

226
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>wait wait, wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait, where's

227
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.639
<v Speaker 1>the other stuff. She's like, it's literally one shot of espresso.

228
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh not me, just drinking whole

229
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>fat milk all these mornings, thinking I'm doing something. And

230
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing about me, I'm such an addict, right,

231
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I need like the plissy bo effect. I need to

232
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>feel alive. I need to just feel like I'm a

233
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 1>part of something. Like the ritual to me is so important,

234
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 1>which is why I quit drinking caffeine a while ago.

235
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>But I still love the ritual, like I still have

236
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 1>my little coffee maker in my apartment. I wake up,

237
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I make myself a decaf a lot dae. My lattes

238
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 1>are much different than the store bought ones. I do

239
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 1>like two shots of espresso and then whipped milk, and

240
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>it's more of like a half and half situation foamed milk.

241
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's you know, now that I say it out loud,

242
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 1>that's not a lot day. That's something else. I don't

243
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. Again, none of my business. Nothing

244
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I do is any of my business. I'm just doing it.

245
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Anyway.

246
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys are like, she's gonna forget the point she's

247
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get there.

248
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry. I'm getting there.

249
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm walking back and I'm feeling myself. I have

250
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>this cute little outfit on right, this butter colored cream

251
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 1>bagt a vest A real lesbian choice of mine, A

252
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 1>real don't fuck with me men choice of mine. I

253
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, strap my tits down like they are right now,

254
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and a sports bra, duct tape my tits down, put

255
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.799
<v Speaker 1>a little lesbian vest on, and go for a stroll

256
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>in jorts and a vest I mean, did it look

257
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 1>cute when it was together? It did, but it didn't

258
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 1>look like I played for the team that would take Dick.

259
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest. I was like the cutest little lesbian

260
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in fucking soho. I was living my best life. And

261
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>then one of the hottest men I've ever seen in

262
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>my entire life walks by me, and I was like,

263
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>certainly he's gonna just pretend I'm dead or not acknowledge me.

264
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 1>And he's on a phone call and he turns his

265
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>head to say in my ear good morning, and I

266
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, Hi, but he's walking this way. I'm

267
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>walking that way, and so I was like, Oh, that's

268
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be like oh, a cute, cute little passing. Right,

269
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 1>I turn around. I do a double take, which I

270
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 1>it's been a long time since mama's done a double take.

271
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Like someone's got to be really fucking hot. And he

272
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>was doing a double take at the same time, and

273
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he was like, let me call you back, hangs up

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to seal the deal in under forty five minutes.

291
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>It was a level of testosterone and masculinity I haven't

292
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>encountered in so long because I lived in La the

293
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>land of the Soy boys, the land of the is

294
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>he gay or is he gay? Because he's fucking gay?

295
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Like that is what I'm used to. Men being more

296
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with themselves than with women not shooting their shot.

297
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Like this city is filled with testosterone and it feels

298
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 1>dangerous and exciting all at the same time. And now

299
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, I didn't I didn't have sex

300
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 1>with him because I was like, that's not appropriate behavior.

301
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>That's not something that someone's on a healing journey would do.

302
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a hard detour from a healing journey.

303
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And I will tell you that that much is that

304
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not ready and I don't want to, so

305
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to. I will be ready soon. I

306
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 1>was actually talking to THEO about this because I went

307
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>down to Nashville, which I'm gonna tell you more about

308
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 1>this in the Patreon because some of it's tea. But

309
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I went down to Nashville and there was this guy

310
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that was hitting on me down there, and you know,

311
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 1>he's really cool and he's a friend of Theo's. And

312
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't think so, Like my heart

313
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>is still broken, you know, I need to like heal

314
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a little more. And he was like, well, don't take

315
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life healing, honey, And that was

316
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 1>such good advice, because I really it's such a different

317
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>experience having to heal from a relationship that ended that

318
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>had truly nothing to do with you. Like, I don't

319
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.759
<v Speaker 1>think there's a ton of like I need to like reflect,

320
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and like, here's the thing I do need to reflect

321
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and understand why I why I attracted someone like that,

322
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Why I allowed someone like that to I don't want

323
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to say, I don't want to say anything negative about

324
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the relationship, because it happened for a reason and I

325
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>know that. But like, the only thing I really need

326
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to look at is like why did I Why did

327
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 1>my body tell me so clearly that that was not

328
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 1>a match and I ignored it and I went full

329
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 1>steam ahead, And why did I do? I think that's

330
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 1>the healing I need to do. It's more why did

331
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I ignore my body? Why did I ignore my gut?

332
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Why did I ignore them? Many times he so clearly

333
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>let me know that was he was not my person,

334
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 1>and I let him convince me that he was. That's all.

335
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's like a ton of like, oh,

336
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like some broken, shattered, fucking piece of shit person,

337
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't have like such a heavy heart anymore. Honestly,

338
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel pretty good about everything. I feel at peace

339
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>with everything. I feel like it all happens for a reason.

340
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Everything happens for a reason. And unfortunately, I think the

341
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 1>reason is going to be like some of the best

342
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>common you've ever written in my life. Unfortunately, it's just

343
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 1>really gonna be a banger of an hour. But I

344
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 1>just really needed and appreciated that advice of don't spend

345
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>too much time healing. It's like, you don't want to

346
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>keep yourself in the misery and the pity and the

347
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>sadness of a breakup when ultimately in the relationship you

348
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything wrong, you know. And I think there's

349
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 1>different lengths of time and healing for people in different

350
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 1>levels of relationships. And I would call that a level

351
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 1>one relationship. I mean, I thought it was a level ten.

352
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.559
<v Speaker 1>I for sure thought it was a level ten, but

353
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a level one. I think for

354
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, I got twisted upside down and backwards, and

355
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a much more impactful and meaningful

356
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>relationship than it ever was. And I think it was

357
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>just there for a brief period of time to teach

358
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.519
<v Speaker 1>me something. And I think I learned the lessons. And

359
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the big ones is like do

360
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 1>I love myself enough to walk away? And the answer

361
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.319
<v Speaker 1>is yes, and so so it's exciting to me because

362
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel emotionally open to dating, which is like a

363
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>good place to be in. Am I downloading the apps? No?

364
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Am I running? Am I running to that guy's house

365
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.279
<v Speaker 1>to fuck him after meeting him on the street. No,

366
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing insane things. I'm not actively trying to

367
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 1>get my feelings hurt again. What I'm doing is going

368
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to Sentrope. I'm just gonna go to the south of

369
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>France and shake my ass, babe. And I think, you

370
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:43.559
<v Speaker 1>know what, in its own sense, that is healing And.

371
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Is it a good financial decision.

372
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a different conversation completely in one I don't really

373
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 1>want to have with you guys, because I did notice

374
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>someone commented they're like, how do you afford two reds

375
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 1>and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And

376
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>someone said plastic surgery too. I don't. I don't. I

377
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 1>haven't had plastic surgery. I've had injections out the ass

378
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and lasers and shit, but I've never had plastic surgery.

379
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Not yet. I mean, I'm up into it. But someone

380
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 1>was like, how do you afford all this in Trump's economy?

381
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And girlfriend, I don't, Bestie, let me sit you down

382
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 1>and tell you a secret right now. I fucking don't don't.

383
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anyone who is. I'm so fucking lucky

384
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that I had a really big, fat career in advertising

385
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>before I got into comedy because I was able to

386
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 1>save money. And let me tell you, I have decimated

387
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>my savings. It is in Smitherines in Palm Beach. My

388
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 1>savings account is in smytherings in Palm Beach. I'll tell

389
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>you what. I have spent more money this year than

390
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm comfortable with admitting, between Biggie's end of life surgeries

391
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and moving twice and getting no support financially from the

392
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 1>fucking loser bitch I was dating. I mean I just

393
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm hanging on by a fucking thread right now. But

394
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. I have faith. I have a ton

395
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.279
<v Speaker 1>of faith that something amazing is gonna happen. I keep

396
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>waking up every day and I'm like, something amazing it's

397
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. And I'm not even trying to brainwash myself.

398
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I really actually believe that. You guys know me. You know,

399
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like misoptimistic, you know. You know I'm not

400
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the bubbliest bitch in the bunch. But I just have

401
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:20.799
<v Speaker 1>this feeling energetically of alignment that everything is happening exactly

402
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the way it's supposed to. I've had more synchronicity and

403
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>meetings and opportunities and things come up in the few

404
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 1>weeks I have been in New York, then came up

405
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.839
<v Speaker 1>in the past year or maybe more, you know, and

406
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.319
<v Speaker 1>it's like things that are gonna amount to nothing. Like

407
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I got an audition for this TV show and it's

408
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of twenty somethings that live in a one

409
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>bedroom that has six rooms, like you know, it's like

410
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 1>six roommates living in a one giant, one bedroom apartment whatever.

411
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>And I go to audition for it, and I'm like, literally,

412
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I could have given birth to half of the people

413
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 1>auditioning here, like, yes, I would have been teen mom,

414
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I would have had them at fifteen, but I could

415
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 1>actually be their moms. And I took that audition knowing

416
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 1>nothing's gonna come of it, and I'm like, why not, Like,

417
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 1>let's just go have some fun. Let's go audition for

418
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 1>the role we know we're not right for. Let's just

419
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>energetically like show the universe that we're gonna show up

420
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 1>and we want to do this thing. And you know,

421
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and here's the thing. At the end of the day,

422
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.839
<v Speaker 1>when I was looking around that waiting room, I was like,

423
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 1>my injector is going to be thrilled that we got

424
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.319
<v Speaker 1>this audition. Doctor Eric Anderson is going to be doing

425
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 1>backflips that we even got in this room, because when

426
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, they were all between eighteen and twenty six,

427
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe at the very very oldest, and then me, me,

428
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 1>the big old age of thirty seven. I was sitting

429
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>there like this isn't gonna happen, but I loved. I

430
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>love that I'm here and energetically like I'm going to

431
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.160
<v Speaker 1>show the universe where I want to be in what

432
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to do, and there's just been a ton

433
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 1>of synchronicity in New York. I'm excited for all the

434
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>stage time that I'm gonna get. I'm just like so

435
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 1>genuinely excited to figure out this new hour. I did

436
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it in Raleigh, and I did it in Nashville, and

437
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I loved the Raleigh show, like I thought, I blew

438
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 1>the fucking roof off Raleigh. We had so much fun.

439
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I I just it felt like a tour de force.

440
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>It was so fun. And then Nashville was fine, but

441
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 1>I was I was running on one hour of sleep,

442
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>so I was exhausted. I did not sleep in Raleigh

443
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 1>at all. I was staying at this a loft. The

444
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.039
<v Speaker 1>bed was horribly uncomfortable. The pillows felt like a bunch

445
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 1>of pebbles. It was like, is someone gonna come beat

446
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>me with this? Or is there other bars of soap

447
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 1>in here? Am I in a prison yard? Are you

448
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna jump me in I'm get raped in the ass?

449
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that what's going on here? None of that was

450
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>going on. It was just a bad bed as shitty

451
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 1>hotel and that's all. And so it kind of robbed

452
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>me of my peace of mind for the Nashville show.

453
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Everyone that went loved it so much. I didn't share

454
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.799
<v Speaker 1>that experience, but I'm glad everyone else had fun. It's

455
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>really an interesting thing when you're trying to metabolize heartbreak

456
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and pain and trauma and turn it into comedy. And

457
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I've said this before where there's audiences are so emotionally intelligent.

458
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>They can tell if you're okay. And I think in Raleigh,

459
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I was okay because I had slept well. I was

460
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>so excited to be there. I was like, We're gonna

461
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>fucking We're gonna turn this shit. You know, We're gonna

462
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.799
<v Speaker 1>turn this trauma into some fucking great comedy. And I

463
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.599
<v Speaker 1>was so excited about it. And then in Nashville, because

464
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I was running on no sleep. And by the way,

465
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 1>running on no sleep, I know it's a torture technique

466
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and it should be, because, oh my god, a lack

467
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of sleep is the devil's work. And I have been

468
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 1>having a tough time sleeping because I'm on a busy

469
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>street in Chelsea, and yeah, it's just been it's been

470
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.799
<v Speaker 1>a tough adjustment for my body, for my physical body,

471
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not to mention my emotional body, not to mention I'm

472
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>actually going back down on my lexapro. I had gone

473
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 1>up when I was in Palm Beach because I was

474
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 1>so fucking miserable and I was really handling the situations

475
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 1>that were being thrown at me not well, and so

476
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I went I went up to ten milligrams when I

477
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 1>was in Palm Beach, and then after talking to my

478
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 1>therapist about it, I just decided to go back down

479
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to five miligrams. And one of the side effects of

480
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 1>that of going back down is insomnia and anxiety. And

481
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 1>I've been having like this crazy body anxiety where I

482
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 1>feel like my soul is gonna pop out of my toes,

483
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like there's like this like pressure of just

484
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>like this well of anxiety. But I've read into it

485
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 1>this is all temporary, this is all part of the

486
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>process of just getting back down to five. And I

487
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.519
<v Speaker 1>just felt like more myself when I was on five.

488
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I think ten really kind of numbed me out. Honestly,

489
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I just have no idea who the fuck I was

490
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>when I was living in Palm Beach, Like that version

491
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of me I'm not real proud of. I. I don't

492
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 1>really know what to say. There's gonna be amends I

493
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 1>have to make there's I made a fucking mess emotionally

494
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and were some things done wrong to me? Yeah? Absolutely,

495
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>But does that mean that you get to like go

496
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.319
<v Speaker 1>kick a fucking shit fist fit and make a mess

497
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.279
<v Speaker 1>and drag people to hell. No, I'm just like not

498
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>proud of the version of myself that I was there,

499
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and I can tell that when I'm here, I'm going

500
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.119
<v Speaker 1>to become a version of myself that I'm really excited about.

501
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So I think things are trending in the right direction.

502
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>And then I had a total like aha, god moment

503
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:27.759
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville where Okay, so David Tel was working in

504
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the big room and I was in the lab, which

505
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 1>is the side room. And Davidtel is an interesting part

506
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>of my comedy journey in that he is the person

507
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>who introduced me to stand up comedy. I wasn't super

508
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.559
<v Speaker 1>aware it existed. So this was the and this is

509
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>what I think the gateway, the pipeline for most of

510
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>us millennials was into comedy.

511
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Dane Cook.

512
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Dane Cook. All my friends were like, rah, we loved

513
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Dane Cook. I saw Dane Cook and I was like, whoa,

514
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>this is like crazy, what an electric and cool career.

515
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>And then I remember I let, I was like, I

516
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like Dane Cook, so I was like, I'm gonna see

517
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 1>where else Dane Cook is and David Tel had the

518
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Insomniac Tour and it was Dane Cook, David Tel, Greg Giraldo.

519
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 1>I got my hands on that DVD, and when I say,

520
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I probably watched it one hundred times. It was so

521
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 1>profound to me, and Dane Cook was on the back burner.

522
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't give a fuck about Dane Cook anymore. David

523
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Tel and Greg Giraldo were so special to me. I

524
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 1>thought Greg Giraldo was a fucking genius. He made me

525
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.799
<v Speaker 1>laugh harder than anyone has ever made me laugh. When

526
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>he died, I was so sad, but I wasn't. I

527
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 1>had no idea I could be a stand up right.

528
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 1>I just saw these guys doing something that was cool

529
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and funny. And I remember there was a darkness about

530
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Greg Giraldo and Dave Attel that I really gravitated to.

531
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I remember Dane Cook being like light and fluffy and

532
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.759
<v Speaker 1>like la la la la la, and Dave and Greg

533
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>were both Greg was super fucking intelligent. Dave also highly intelligent.

534
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>But there was just like this darkness to them that

535
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I was that I really gwvitated too. And so I

536
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 1>was leaving my show in the lab in Nashville and

537
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to these guys outside of the main

538
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>room and they're like, oh, did you meet Dave? And

539
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no, but I don't know him, so

540
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to go in there. And they're like, no,

541
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he wants to meet you, and so they took me

542
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.039
<v Speaker 1>in and he's like, oh, hey, I'm Dave. I love

543
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 1>this joke of yours, Like this is so smart, this

544
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 1>is so funny. Do you want to do a spot

545
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 1>on my show tomorrow night? And I just had a

546
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.839
<v Speaker 1>moment where I was like, would you look at God?

547
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It was so profound to me. And I'm like getting

548
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 1>emotional because I think there's just like a little girl

549
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 1>version of me that's sitting on my dad's floor in Waterford,

550
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin watching the insomniac who are thinking like, these guys

551
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>are rock stars, their jobs are the coolest jobs in

552
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the world. I can't imagine a life like that. And

553
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>now for this person to have the generosity of spirit

554
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 1>to go look at who's performing in the lab, look

555
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.279
<v Speaker 1>at my stuff, have a joke of mine to reference

556
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 1>when we meet, and to just be so generous and

557
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>kind was really I felt like a godwink. It was

558
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.519
<v Speaker 1>God being like, you're doing the right thing, You're in

559
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the right place at the right time, and everything is

560
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna be good. And then I did his show and

561
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 1>it was great, and I felt so bad because he

562
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>like calls comedians up on stage after a show, and

563
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't stay because I had to go grab THEO

564
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>from the airport. He was coming back from the Mexico

565
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.079
<v Speaker 1>game and he was at like a World Cup game

566
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 1>in Mexico, and I had to go grab and like,

567
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I just felt bad because I couldn't stay and I

568
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do the thing. And he had invited me to dinner,

569
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, after the Friday night, like after you know,

570
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>we did a show, and I just I felt bad

571
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that I couldn't show up in the capacity that I

572
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 1>wanted to as a comedian. But like, I just felt

573
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 1>so deeply honored that he took the time to be

574
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>so kind, and it was just one of the moments

575
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 1>where I'm like, all right, and we're gonna keep going.

576
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna keep going. You know, this this career is

577
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>so fucking can be dogg eat dog and hard as fuck.

578
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And just like when you're on the road alone and

579
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 1>you don't know you know where you are or what

580
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.359
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, why you're doing it, what's the purpose of

581
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>all of this? And then there are just little moments

582
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of synchronicity that make you realize, oh, no, everything is

583
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.359
<v Speaker 1>happening the way it's supposed to do. Everything is happening,

584
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Everything happens for a reason, and you're exactly where you're

585
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. And I think that was just a

586
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.759
<v Speaker 1>really nice That was a really nice moment for me

587
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>to have. I actually saw something the other day that

588
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.359
<v Speaker 1>really made me laugh that I want to tell you

589
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>guys about, which is that the final step of healing

590
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is becoming a bitch. And I really resonated with this,

591
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 1>right because I have done and I'm by the way,

592
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying I'm at the final steps of healing.

593
00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm obviously I just had a melt down about the

594
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:01.839
<v Speaker 1>color my chair, and I'm still having a meltdown about it.

595
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I'm looking at the feedback on the

596
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 1>camera and I'm like, this is I cannot believe there's

597
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>share is the same color as the wall, I'm going

598
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to cry anyway. I think the final step of healing

599
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 1>is being a bitch. I really do, because I think

600
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 1>that you have to be so boundaried to be able

601
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to accept that you're going to be the villain in

602
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>people's story. The people who are not willing to admit

603
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:35.079
<v Speaker 1>what they did to you or how they might have

604
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 1>impacted you, they need to make you the villain. And

605
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we all do this, and I, you know,

606
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I always try and whenever I'm being accusatory about someone

607
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.359
<v Speaker 1>making me the villain, I look at times where I

608
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.559
<v Speaker 1>have made other people the villain. And I'm not perfect.

609
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>My hands are not clean in this either. You know.

610
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it's human nature to try and rewrite stories

611
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>so that we're not the bad guy. So I don't

612
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>think anyone has, you know, a mental disorder or they're

613
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a bad person and if they're trying to like rewrite

614
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a narrative where they're not the bad guy. But I

615
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:09.359
<v Speaker 1>do think it's it's it's pertinent to understand that you

616
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>have to be okay with being the villain. You have

617
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:13.720
<v Speaker 1>to be okay with being the bad the bad guy

618
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in some people's story because they are not going to

619
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>have the accountability or the culpability to be the villain.

620
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.559
<v Speaker 1>And they're not going to have the growth or the

621
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>maturity to take accountability and apologize and admit, you know,

622
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>who they were in the story for real. And I

623
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>think people are gonna think you're a fucking bitch if

624
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.039
<v Speaker 1>you stand up for yourself, if you speak the truth,

625
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.079
<v Speaker 1>if you say what's right or what's right in your eyes.

626
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, it can be wrong in their eyes, right

627
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in their eyes or wrong. You know what I'm saying.

628
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 1>It can be wrong in their eyes and right in

629
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>your eyes. There is no real I mean, there's a sense,

630
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.119
<v Speaker 1>there's an overall sense of morality right, but there is

631
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.839
<v Speaker 1>no real right and wrong. Like we're all varying shades

632
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 1>of everything. But but I just do think that, like,

633
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to be okay with being a bitch, and

634
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to be okay. And this is something I've

635
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 1>been struggling with. This is why I'm saying it to

636
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 1>you guys, because every time I say anything out loud,

637
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm usually struggling with it. I don't like that there's

638
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a version of the story where I'm a fucking villain.

639
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that I can't explain my side of

640
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the story to people who have painted a different picture

641
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.519
<v Speaker 1>of me. But the reality is, if they didn't ask

642
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.599
<v Speaker 1>for my side of the story, then the picture that

643
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.559
<v Speaker 1>was painted to them is the one that they wanted

644
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to accept. So you have to be able to accept

645
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that you're the fucking bad guy in a lot of

646
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.759
<v Speaker 1>people's stories and you're not the people pleaser in you.

647
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Is not going to be able to make everyone love you,

648
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:46.400
<v Speaker 1>care about you, see your side, think you're right. This

649
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 1>is something you have to let go of, right and spiritually.

650
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>One of the most evolved things we can be is

651
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 1>not concerned with what people view us as the perception

652
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of the outside world is something that is none of

653
00:32:59.200 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 1>our business.

654
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, this is It gives me like a fucking

655
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:02.839
<v Speaker 2>heart attack.

656
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It gives me an actual fucking heart attack every time

657
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I have someone at my door. But yeah, all I

658
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>was saying is you have to be okay with being

659
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 1>the bad guy in some some people's stories. You know,

660
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like this unhealthy obsession with everyone knowing your truth, your

661
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 1>version of events, this, that, and the third. It's none

662
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 1>of the It's none of my business. At the end

663
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of the day, what you think of me is your business.

664
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the greatest evolution of self is to

665
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>not care about the perception, to not care about what

666
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:35.799
<v Speaker 1>the fuck people think of you, and to genuinely not care,

667
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 1>not to pretend that you don't care, but to genuinely

668
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>not care and not be bothered, not be concerned by

669
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Because I had something plagging me recently where I know

670
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a story going around about me is not true, and

671
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that makes me furious. But at the end of the day,

672
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone gets to tell their own story, and everyone gets

673
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 1>to have their own version of events, and the people

674
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in their circle and in their lives are going to

675
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:08.239
<v Speaker 1>believe to be true their version of events. And that's okay,

676
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. At the end of the day, it all

677
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:11.760
<v Speaker 1>comes out in the wash. And if it doesn't come

678
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 1>out in the wash, it comes out in the rinse, bitch,

679
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:14.239
<v Speaker 1>all right, So.

680
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Just let God take care.

681
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Of everything, Let Karma do its thing, because like I've

682
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 1>said a million times, Karma doesn't miss a fucking doorstep. Okay,

683
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Karma does not miss a fucking doorstep. And and that's that.

684
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's all, folks, that's that's it. On that I

685
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 1>think we all just have to be okay with being

686
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.159
<v Speaker 1>the bitch. We gotta be okay with being the bitch.

687
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>And some people start in like people are gonna paint

688
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you as the villain because they cannot take accountability, and

689
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.719
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, Like what is someone really gonna do? Go

690
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 1>around and be like, oh my god, not what they're anymore?

691
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Is they cheated on her?

692
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:52.159
<v Speaker 2>No, of course not.

693
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 1>They have to invent a new story. And you know

694
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't participate in reality people with mood disorders. People

695
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 1>with mood disorders like narcissism and bipolar don't participate in

696
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.079
<v Speaker 1>right reality. So also there's a huge ego component too, Right,

697
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 1>there's a huge ego component of us wanting the world

698
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to see and perceive us a certain way and knowing

699
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 1>that certain information will dam or bastardize the version of

700
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.119
<v Speaker 1>ourselves that we want the world to believe we are.

701
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:35.320
<v Speaker 1>So you got a just you just gotta let it roll, Bay,

702
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>let it roll, besties. I will say this, I didn't

703
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 1>think at this big age in my life, I would

704
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 1>be using any meany miney mo so much to make decisions.

705
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:48.719
<v Speaker 1>You guys, it is making most of my decisions any

706
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 1>meani miney, most of my decisions santrapez yes or no

707
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.760
<v Speaker 1>fucking yes, fuck the guy on the street, Nope, what

708
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to eat? Yep, like every like, I just it is shocking.

709
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:10.599
<v Speaker 1>How little what's the word I'm looking for? It's a

710
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:13.159
<v Speaker 1>word and it's right there, and it's on the tip

711
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>of my tongue, but I don't know it because autonomy

712
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.280
<v Speaker 1>is not the right word. How little, how few decision

713
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.239
<v Speaker 1>making skills I really have. I've just been I think

714
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 1>my nervous system is so shocked from all the changes

715
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 1>right now that I'm like, I cannot decide between sushi

716
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and pizza. That's a crazy thing to ask of a girl.

717
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:33.639
<v Speaker 1>So now a lot of it is Eni media minemo

718
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:35.519
<v Speaker 1>and someone is like, well, you know, that's like formulaic

719
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and you can decide it. But I haven't figured out

720
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 1>the formula yet. I haven't figured it out, and I

721
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.719
<v Speaker 1>don't want to because it's making all my decisions and

722
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:46.159
<v Speaker 1>it's doing a pretty good job. So if you're in

723
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:49.119
<v Speaker 1>a gym, just use Eni media minimo. Tell Alexa to

724
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 1>flip a coin, just, do you know, leave it to fate.

725
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I think, and I guess Enie meanie Manuma is not

726
00:36:56.119 --> 00:37:01.199
<v Speaker 1>fat whatever anyway, I will say going to Nashville really

727
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.360
<v Speaker 1>was a big turning point for me. I felt like

728
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>very healed after that. There's something about my friendship with

729
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:14.480
<v Speaker 1>THEO that just feels so nurturing and special, and he's

730
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:18.079
<v Speaker 1>just so kind and wonderful and caring and also like

731
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 1>funny and you know, can make a joke of anything.

732
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:25.320
<v Speaker 1>So I just feel so lucky to have that friendship

733
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:28.119
<v Speaker 1>and to have him to kind of check me, keep

734
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:31.639
<v Speaker 1>me in check. I'm going to talk a little bit

735
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.840
<v Speaker 1>more about Nashville on the Patreon because some fun things

736
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>did happen, but they don't feel like they're for public consumption.

737
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Even though I've had the argument that Patreon is public,

738
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I will die on a hill that it's not. And

739
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 1>then their counter argument was like, are you telling me

740
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that Netflix isn't public because you can pay for Netflix?

741
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, you're making a really good point,

742
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>but I'm still gonna die on this bucket. I'm still

743
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna fucking die on this hill that people have to

744
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.639
<v Speaker 1>pay to hear me talk a dish little shit. It's

745
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.360
<v Speaker 1>not just out there. You gotta pay the big bucks.

746
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, all of you who have joined

747
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the Patreon, I love you so much. I feel like

748
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>we're a little family. I'm so grateful for you, and

749
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm so grateful to have that like portion of our

750
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>week to just hang out with each other and you know,

751
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 1>talk more shit. And I have some like juicy fun

752
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 1>stuff for today. But I told you I'm being a

753
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>heeled bitch and being am I. I'm doing my best

754
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>to be as healed as possible and not talk shit

755
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast anymore. How am I doing? You guys

756
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:37.480
<v Speaker 1>can tell me later. I will say this. Did I

757
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 1>say this already? The price gouging in New York City

758
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>is out of control. It's absolutely out of control. I

759
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.719
<v Speaker 1>was gonna get groceries delivered the other day because I

760
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make this healthy soup before I go to

761
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 1>San Trepez. I was like, I need my waistline. I

762
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.760
<v Speaker 1>can't find it. I can't find it. Has anyone seen it?

763
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Turns out no, nobody's seen it. But I was gonna

764
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:03.559
<v Speaker 1>make this soup, and I was on Instacart shopping at

765
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>this place called west Side Market. Bay leaves. Bay leaves

766
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>were thirteen dollars. I'm like, you mean the mythical things

767
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:13.760
<v Speaker 1>we throw in soup and nobody's sure if they actually

768
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:18.280
<v Speaker 1>do anything at all? Those are thirteen dollars. Are you

769
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.159
<v Speaker 1>guys on fucking crank? What are you smoking? And can

770
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I have some? And then eggs fifteen dollars? And I

771
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, hey, man, do you want to shit in

772
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.519
<v Speaker 1>my fucking mouth? I don't know. This feels illegal. All

773
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.199
<v Speaker 1>everything feels illegal. I'm gonna call the police and or

774
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Mundani because I probably can get his private line, like

775
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:41.519
<v Speaker 1>this is who can afford to live here? Who can

776
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>afford this shit? It's crazy? And so I didn't want to,

777
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.920
<v Speaker 1>but I you know, I didn't want to schlep again.

778
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.840
<v Speaker 1>But Trader Joe's is my saving grace. It is the

779
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.039
<v Speaker 1>only reason I'm gonna be able to eat in this town.

780
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 1>It's because eggs there are four dollars, and bay leaves

781
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 1>are four dollars like they should be like at Like

782
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:02.119
<v Speaker 1>who cranked those prices up ten dollars each? That's crazy,

783
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's fucking crazy. Anyway, I'm doing great. I can't wait

784
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to go to santra Pez. The next time you guys

785
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 1>see me, I will be in a hotel in santra

786
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Pez and we're gonna bootstrap a little episode together. Because

787
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>you know me, Mom's going on vacation, but I'm taking

788
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.320
<v Speaker 1>my besties. I'm taking my babies. Pack your bags, grab

789
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:24.559
<v Speaker 1>your passports. We're going to santrape honeys. Okay, you guys,

790
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:25.920
<v Speaker 1>There's one more thing I want to talk to you

791
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.320
<v Speaker 1>guys about before we leave.

792
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Before we leave, because we're all going together, we're all no.

793
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I do have to go. I have to go get

794
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:33.119
<v Speaker 1>a spray TN and a blowout and do all of

795
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the things before I leave for sant Trope. I'm leaving

796
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to Brown Night. I still have to pack. Oh my god,

797
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I need a personal assistant. I need someone else to

798
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:44.159
<v Speaker 1>just do my life for me. But there's one thing

799
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about, and I'm gonna say right now,

800
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.440
<v Speaker 1>there's spoilers. Here's there's spoilers here. If you guys haven't

801
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.280
<v Speaker 1>watched Maternal Instinct, turn the podcast off if you want

802
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:55.679
<v Speaker 1>to watch it, because I need to talk about this

803
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.480
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking documentary. This is the most haunted, fucking documentary ever

804
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>seen my entire life. And I was trying to tell

805
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a friend the other day to watch it. I was like,

806
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:09.079
<v Speaker 1>you have to see this. It's the most unhinged documentary

807
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I have ever seen in my entire life, and she's like,

808
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:13.360
<v Speaker 1>isn't that the one where a woman like kills a

809
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.679
<v Speaker 1>baby or something? And I was like, yes, but that's

810
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.760
<v Speaker 1>not even really the problem, Like that's not even top

811
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:24.199
<v Speaker 1>ten of the problems here. So basically, the documentary starts,

812
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and this isn't a spoiler. It starts with this woman

813
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:28.880
<v Speaker 1>getting pulled over. She has a baby in her lap

814
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and she's covered in blood. She goes to the hospital.

815
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>The blood's not hers, the baby's not hers, and she said,

816
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:39.159
<v Speaker 1>she just gave birth to this baby. The baby's dead.

817
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Then this whole documentary pops the fuck off about this

818
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:47.320
<v Speaker 1>woman who is basically just this fucking pathological liar, and

819
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.760
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't physically have babies anymore. She had already had two,

820
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and she had a hysterectomy, and she was with this

821
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:58.519
<v Speaker 1>guy who didn't they they hadn't been together that long,

822
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:01.039
<v Speaker 1>but he wanted her to be in love and he was.

823
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:03.079
<v Speaker 1>She was like, Oh, if I get pregnant with this kid,

824
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>he'll love me. And then she like buys a fake

825
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.480
<v Speaker 1>pregnancy belly and does all this durain shit, like you

826
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.559
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about committing to the fucking bit like

827
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we could all commit to the bit more

828
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.800
<v Speaker 1>like this documentary taught me.

829
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.119
<v Speaker 2>That we could all be fucking crazier.

830
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:25.280
<v Speaker 1>We have not been letting our freak flags fly, and

831
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:29.199
<v Speaker 1>we need to a little bit. Like this woman faked

832
00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.360
<v Speaker 1>an entire pregnancy, And then I won't completely give away

833
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:37.239
<v Speaker 1>what happens, but like this bitch plotted and plotted and plotted,

834
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:38.599
<v Speaker 1>and then.

835
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:41.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm gonna say it.

836
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 1>She fucking murders a woman who's pregnant and cuts the

837
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>baby out of her and is trying to pretend it's

838
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:50.880
<v Speaker 1>her baby. In what world is that ever gonna work?

839
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.000
<v Speaker 1>In what world is that gonna fly? And I think

840
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.639
<v Speaker 1>we can all just be crazier. And she had a

841
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:58.199
<v Speaker 1>long history of lying. She had a long history of

842
00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:00.760
<v Speaker 1>pathological lying about illness, which which is just something that I

843
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 1>think is so interesting because this is something my mom did.

844
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:08.400
<v Speaker 1>My mom would often fake illnesses because I think there's

845
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a medical term for it. I could be wrong. This

846
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is when it would be nice if Mike was here.

847
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.199
<v Speaker 1>I think it's called malingering. I could be wrong, though,

848
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.360
<v Speaker 1>When you have a mental illness but you're not getting

849
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:19.559
<v Speaker 1>the attention you want for the mental illness, so you

850
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.039
<v Speaker 1>fake a physical illness because what you want is sympathy

851
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.559
<v Speaker 1>and attention, and you want that because of your mental illness,

852
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:27.159
<v Speaker 1>but you're not getting it. So you're like, oh, if

853
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I have cancer, I will get the attention I need.

854
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.519
<v Speaker 1>My mom at one point was saying she had lung cancer.

855
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:34.599
<v Speaker 1>She never had lung cancer. She had and maybe in

856
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 1>bacterium infection, which is like a lung disease, but she

857
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:42.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't have lung cancer. And it's just such an interesting

858
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:44.960
<v Speaker 1>phenomenon to me, these people that will just go to

859
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:48.360
<v Speaker 1>such great lengths to get attention instead of just going

860
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.199
<v Speaker 1>to therapy. I'm like, hey, babe, take yourself to the

861
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:55.199
<v Speaker 1>fucking therapist, pop your little tush in a therapy chair,

862
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 1>and figure out what the fuck is wrong with you

863
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>before you cut a baby out of a woman to

864
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:01.400
<v Speaker 1>pretend it's yours so guy will say he loves you

865
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:02.559
<v Speaker 1>when he never loved you.

866
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>It really stresses me out.

867
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.199
<v Speaker 1>The whole documentary gave me nightmares and stressed me the

868
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:10.360
<v Speaker 1>fuck out, So if you don't want nightmares or to

869
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:11.880
<v Speaker 1>be stressed, I wouldn't watch it. And also I just

870
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:13.920
<v Speaker 1>ruined the whole documentary for you. So I'm so sorry.

871
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry, but I did tell you to turn

872
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.039
<v Speaker 1>the podcast off if you wanted to watch it. Bruh,

873
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that documentary gave me nightmares. Like I told you, I'm

874
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:28.519
<v Speaker 1>already not sleeping right now. Insomnia is a motherfucker. I mean,

875
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a good night's rest can really cure anything, you know.

876
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.079
<v Speaker 1>I was so excited. Last night was my first night

877
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:35.760
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, I'm not gonna take any sleeping

878
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:37.559
<v Speaker 1>pills to sleep. I'm just gonna sleep. I don't have

879
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:39.559
<v Speaker 1>anything to do this morning. I'm just gonna get through

880
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the night. I'm gonna fucking raw on it. And I

881
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:43.679
<v Speaker 1>fell asleep on my own, by the grace of God.

882
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And then a fly that got into my apartment decided

883
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:50.599
<v Speaker 1>it was fucking on. Like Donkey Kong, this fly kept

884
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.280
<v Speaker 1>fucking landing on me. I kept getting think, I was

885
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:55.800
<v Speaker 1>getting thinking I was getting bit by mosquitoes. I forgot

886
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.119
<v Speaker 1>about mosquitoes, you guys. I am from Wisconsin. So this

887
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.199
<v Speaker 1>weather that's going on in New York right now is

888
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.760
<v Speaker 1>very similar to Wisconsin. Like hot Summer's Buggy, Muggy, the

889
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:09.159
<v Speaker 1>whole nine. I'm so spoiled. I'm so used to living

890
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:11.639
<v Speaker 1>in la where it's just seventeen two and seveny all

891
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the time. The weather's perfect, there's no bugs, there's nothing

892
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.199
<v Speaker 1>going on. Nature's not trying to fuck with you. This

893
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>whole city's trying to fuck with me. Oh. Another thing

894
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 1>I will say is the trash trucks. It feels like

895
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.000
<v Speaker 1>an inside job. The garbage trucks, it feels like nine

896
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:30.239
<v Speaker 1>to eleven. I'll be honest, like it feels like an attack.

897
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:32.639
<v Speaker 1>I think they come every night. I don't think they

898
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:34.559
<v Speaker 1>have a night off. And it's like between three and

899
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.639
<v Speaker 1>four in the morning, they're just like dorshe doushsh like

900
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>banging outside of my windows. I'm like, what, I understand

901
00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:44.199
<v Speaker 1>that this city is filled to the brim with trash,

902
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what they're doing with the trash.

903
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 1>I think they're just sending it off to sea. I

904
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:49.800
<v Speaker 1>think there's I'm pretty sure there's a floating island of

905
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.280
<v Speaker 1>trash shit in the middle of the Hudson. I'm not

906
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and I know the Hudson's not the sea, but you

907
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:56.280
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, I'm pretty sure there's a trash

908
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.159
<v Speaker 1>island somewhere. I wonder what the rent's like. There. I

909
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:01.440
<v Speaker 1>wonder if it's che to live there, because maybe I'll

910
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:04.639
<v Speaker 1>move to Trash Island and just become one with the trash,

911
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.480
<v Speaker 1>return to my roots. You know, wants a trash bitch,

912
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:13.599
<v Speaker 1>always a trash bitch. And uh so, yeah, that's it.

913
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all I've got for this week. I know it's

914
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.199
<v Speaker 1>a short episode. I'm sorry, I'm cramming. I'm struggling to

915
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 1>get this shit done. If you are doing the artist's

916
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:26.280
<v Speaker 1>way with me, I'll come on the little journey with

917
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:28.679
<v Speaker 1>me to do the artist's way. If not, besties and

918
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you want a little more tea, come to the Patreon

919
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.239
<v Speaker 1>because the Patreon is where it's mother the fucking at.

920
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm in there and I'm responding to your comments.

921
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.039
<v Speaker 1>And if you guys have any questions, if you want

<v Speaker 1>to DM me anything, I'm in there. I'll respond. I'll

923
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.559
<v Speaker 1>say what's up. I'll kikey with you guys about whatever.

924
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I have nothing better to do. The next week I

925
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 1>might be a little touch and go because I will

926
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:53.679
<v Speaker 1>be in Santralpe. But after that I am free, like

927
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a bird, free like my little trash shit birds that

928
00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:59.639
<v Speaker 1>are on my balcony that I love so much. These

929
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.239
<v Speaker 1>birds are little spirit animals. And you know what, every

930
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:04.119
<v Speaker 1>once in a while, I'm just ripping a sig talking

931
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to a pigeon. And that is what my life is

932
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:07.880
<v Speaker 1>looking like in New York City, babes. But I do

933
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.119
<v Speaker 1>have to stop smoking cigarettes. It's getting old, and I'm

934
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna make me old. It's gonna age. It's aging

935
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 1>me like the devil, and.

936
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm like wheezing. I'm like, it's not a vibe.

937
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.639
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, besties, I love you so much, thanks for

938
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.800
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with me and my monochrome apartment and chairs.

939
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:26.559
<v Speaker 1>And I'll, you know, have a panic attack about it

940
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 1>next week, I'm sure. Okay, Week nine of the Artist's Way,

941
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys, we are recovering a sense of compassion this week.

942
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, I didn't read this chapter, so

943
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I have to do that right now. Bye. All right,

944
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys. Did I have a nuclear mental breakdown earlier

945
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:47.079
<v Speaker 1>about the color of these chairs? I sure did? But

946
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:49.960
<v Speaker 1>then guess what. I contacted Quints the place I got

947
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>them from, and they're like, we can just swap them

948
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.239
<v Speaker 1>out for the tope ones and we'll come get these.

949
00:47:56.039 --> 00:47:58.199
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, would you look at God? That

950
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.840
<v Speaker 1>is just another moment, you guys. I had body anxiety earlier.

951
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I almost canceled my trip to France because I was like,

952
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't go to France when I look like I'm levitating,

953
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.000
<v Speaker 1>when I look like I'm a Laddin on a magic

954
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.119
<v Speaker 1>fucking carpet doing this podcast. So anyway, I gotta blow out.

955
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I emailed Quints and now everything's fine, baby girls, going

956
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to France. We're not gonna worry about the fucking chairs

957
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:21.239
<v Speaker 1>that match the walls. We're not gonna have a mental

958
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:24.199
<v Speaker 1>breakdown like that again. And that is something that I

959
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 1>need to put in my godbox and just remember next

960
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.960
<v Speaker 1>time i'm having a fucking freak out, a fucking panic attack.

961
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>And for those of you who don't know what a

962
00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:37.320
<v Speaker 1>godbox is, godbox is a place you put a situation

963
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that worked out for you, just find but you freaked

964
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:44.280
<v Speaker 1>out about it in the moment. So this one's going

965
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in the godbox. And yeah, soon it's gonna look better.

966
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.559
<v Speaker 1>The production on this podcast will be higher quality. I'm

967
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.199
<v Speaker 1>very sorry you guys that were in the shit together

968
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>like this, but you know what, at least we're together

969
00:48:56.920 --> 00:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and I love that, all right, you guys, come hop

970
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:04.280
<v Speaker 1>on over to the patreon. Mama's got tea for you.

971
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to hang out with you. And the hill

972
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I will die on is that the patreon's not public

973
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:11.320
<v Speaker 1>because you have to pay to get there, you know.

974
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:16.639
<v Speaker 1>And uh so it's not public, it's private. It's just

975
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the three of us having a sleepover because we're girls

976
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 1>and we're braiding each other's hair. That's what's going on

977
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:24.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Patreon. We're braiding each other's hair and telling

978
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>each other's secrets and it's a safe space. And I think, oh,

979
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.199
<v Speaker 1>I think I got the ops out of there. I

980
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:32.800
<v Speaker 1>think I got the ops out of there. I don't

981
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:34.000
<v Speaker 1>know if I got the ops out of there, But

982
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:39.519
<v Speaker 1>come join us on the Patreon, and I have for

983
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:41.119
<v Speaker 1>those of you doing the Artist's Way with me. I

984
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:43.039
<v Speaker 1>do have the Artist's Way, and we're gonna do that

985
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:47.119
<v Speaker 1>because I promised you that we would. Where's my book?

986
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah, life is so hard? I found it.

987
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Mike. I know you were so worried about me. I

988
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:58.079
<v Speaker 1>wonder if Mike even watches this. I don't think he does. Anyway,

989
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys, we are on week nine for the Artist Way.

990
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Bestie is recovering a sense of compassion this week is

991
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:13.159
<v Speaker 1>so important. Okay, so we name our behavior incorrectly. If

992
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.280
<v Speaker 1>we're an artist that wants to create and we don't,

993
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:17.960
<v Speaker 1>we often call ourselves lazy. But we're not lazy. We're

994
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>blocked and we have to move through those blocks with

995
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.320
<v Speaker 1>compassion in order to get to the other side in

996
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:26.320
<v Speaker 1>order to make anything. So this is not merely an

997
00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:30.039
<v Speaker 1>accurate it's cruel saying that that's laziness. It's cruel. Accuracy

998
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and compassion serve us far better. Being blocked and being

999
00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:36.400
<v Speaker 1>lazy are two different things. The blocked artist spends energy

1000
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:41.599
<v Speaker 1>on self hatred, on regret, grief, and on jealousy. Do

1001
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:45.119
<v Speaker 1>not call the inability to start laziness. Call it fear,

1002
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:48.119
<v Speaker 1>because that's what it is. We're fucking afraid, right. It's

1003
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.880
<v Speaker 1>fear of failure, fear of success, most importantly, fear of abandonment,

1004
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>fear that we create something from our hearts and people

1005
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.159
<v Speaker 1>don't like it. I struggled with this immensely when I

1006
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:00.880
<v Speaker 1>first started stand up full time. I'm like, I pour

1007
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>my soul out on stage and when people don't like it,

1008
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it hits different because I'm not like Jerry Seinfeld. I'm

1009
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.519
<v Speaker 1>like Oh, what I noticed about public restrooms is da

1010
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:12.320
<v Speaker 1>da da, You know, Like, no, I'm like, my mom

1011
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:15.239
<v Speaker 1>killed hers all three days before my wedding. And when

1012
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:18.440
<v Speaker 1>people don't laugh at that, I'm like, I just I

1013
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:22.119
<v Speaker 1>feel completely exposed. So there is a fear of putting

1014
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.679
<v Speaker 1>something out there that people don't like. And if it's

1015
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:27.880
<v Speaker 1>so special to you and so you're so vulnerable that

1016
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:32.079
<v Speaker 1>if they don't like it right away, then perhaps we

1017
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:36.199
<v Speaker 1>could be in a bit of a pickle. Right. Fear

1018
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.239
<v Speaker 1>has its roots in childhood reality. Most blocked artists tried

1019
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:41.719
<v Speaker 1>to become artists against either parents good wishes or their

1020
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:45.000
<v Speaker 1>parents good judgment. For youngsters, this is quite a conflict.

1021
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:49.519
<v Speaker 1>So this is interesting. My experience is actually different. I

1022
00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:55.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't become a creative person out of I wasn't rebelling

1023
00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:58.679
<v Speaker 1>against my parents, right, Like, my dad always wanted me

1024
00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:00.519
<v Speaker 1>to have a nine to five and to have stability.

1025
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:03.000
<v Speaker 1>My mom always was like, you're going to be the

1026
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:06.360
<v Speaker 1>most famous person in the world, And there was such

1027
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a crushing amount of pressure to be good at things

1028
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that I genuinely was not good at. Like she would

1029
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:14.039
<v Speaker 1>drive me to Chicago once a week to go to

1030
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>acting classes, and I stunk.

1031
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:18.159
<v Speaker 2>I was so bad. I didn't know what I was doing.

1032
00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even feel like literally, for the first thirteen

1033
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>years of my life, I didn't feel like I was

1034
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:26.519
<v Speaker 1>even in my body, like I didn't connect to myself.

1035
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't connect to people around me. I couldn't connect

1036
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:30.559
<v Speaker 1>to an audience when I was on stage.

1037
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I just and I.

1038
00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Really had such a complicated relationship with my mom that

1039
00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>whatever she wanted for me, I did not want. So

1040
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I spent my life rebelling against everything my mom wanted

1041
00:52:41.159 --> 00:52:44.679
<v Speaker 1>for me. My mom worked out twenty four to seven.

1042
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:47.159
<v Speaker 1>She ate healthy, she had a bit of an eating disorder,

1043
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and she wanted me to be a fucking actress. And

1044
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm going to eat McDonald's all the time.

1045
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm never gonna work out again after I'm done with

1046
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 1>high school volleyball, and I'm going to get a day job.

1047
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And I did all those things, and I accidentally found creativity.

1048
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think, Oh, I'm some creative person that's like

1049
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>dying to break out of this shell. But what I

1050
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:14.280
<v Speaker 1>did find is when I worked in advertising and I

1051
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.199
<v Speaker 1>was writing, I didn't like that the clients told me

1052
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 1>what was good and what wasn't good. I liked being

1053
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I liked being my own north Star. So that's how

1054
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:27.079
<v Speaker 1>I found it. I found it by happenstance. But a

1055
00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:29.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of blocked creatives are people that wanted to be

1056
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:33.320
<v Speaker 1>creatives and their parents urged them to not be, and

1057
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:35.599
<v Speaker 1>then you know, they do it against their parents will,

1058
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and then you have to be great, right, And then

1059
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you have in your mind, I have to be great.

1060
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I have to be the best singer. I have to

1061
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:42.280
<v Speaker 1>be the best writer. I have to be the best director.

1062
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.599
<v Speaker 1>I have to be the best, best, best, because if

1063
00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to rebel, I have to be the best.

1064
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.119
<v Speaker 1>And that is such a high bar that it's hard

1065
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to get started when your expectation is to be the best, right,

1066
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:57.440
<v Speaker 1>because then you're just setting yourself up for this crushing

1067
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.400
<v Speaker 1>level of disappointment. And I have done that in my

1068
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:04.599
<v Speaker 1>life before. Where I launched right after the right before

1069
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic, I launched something called Ho to Go, which

1070
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:09.559
<v Speaker 1>was this brand. It was like an overnight bag for

1071
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:12.079
<v Speaker 1>girls who went out to clubs, went home with dudes,

1072
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and in the morning you have to like wake up

1073
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and put dress and your dress and your heels on

1074
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:18.039
<v Speaker 1>and you have like crusty makeup on your face and

1075
00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:20.039
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to, like it's a bad place to

1076
00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be in. So the HO to Go bag was like leggings,

1077
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.360
<v Speaker 1>t shirt, sunglasses, makeup, wipe, advil, hair tie, little jewelry pouch,

1078
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a tote for your bag from thee for your clothes

1079
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.000
<v Speaker 1>from the night before, like flip flops. It was like

1080
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:33.920
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing. And I was like, I'm going to

1081
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:37.559
<v Speaker 1>be on Forbes list next year. I'm gonna look out

1082
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Kylie Jenner because I'm going to be on Forbes list.

1083
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Guess what I wasn't. And then the pandemic hit and

1084
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.000
<v Speaker 1>hoes were not going, hose were held hostage, and I

1085
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:48.760
<v Speaker 1>had to donate all of those bags to a women's shelter.

1086
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:53.880
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing, because my expectations of success were

1087
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:56.280
<v Speaker 1>so high that when I didn't hit those marks, it

1088
00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:58.880
<v Speaker 1>felt crushing. There was no greater failure in my life

1089
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:01.719
<v Speaker 1>than How to Go, and I felt so sad. But

1090
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:04.880
<v Speaker 1>when your expectations are just to start and just to

1091
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:07.280
<v Speaker 1>get in the mix, then all you ever are is

1092
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.000
<v Speaker 1>pleasantly surprised. And that has been my experience with comedy

1093
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:11.599
<v Speaker 1>is I just wanted to get in the mix. I

1094
00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:13.800
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to throw my hat in the ring and

1095
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:15.719
<v Speaker 1>let everyone know that I had one or two things

1096
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:18.599
<v Speaker 1>to say. I didn't have expectations to be the best,

1097
00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:20.639
<v Speaker 1>or to be the greatest, or to be anything.

1098
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1099
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I have no lofty goals, and not in like an

1100
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:28.639
<v Speaker 1>impending doom way, even though that is my brand, just

1101
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:32.519
<v Speaker 1>in like a I don't. I do not expect to

1102
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:35.239
<v Speaker 1>be the highest paid comedian. I don't expect to be

1103
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation of the top ten. I don't have

1104
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:40.119
<v Speaker 1>any of those expectations. I just want to speak my

1105
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.440
<v Speaker 1>truth and whoever it resonates with and whoever it helps heal,

1106
00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:46.599
<v Speaker 1>those are my people, and that's it. That's the only

1107
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:49.599
<v Speaker 1>reason I'm creating in this field, and so I think

1108
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that's important. So yeah, what I said is the need

1109
00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a great artist makes it hard to be

1110
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:56.599
<v Speaker 1>an artist. The need to produce great work of art

1111
00:55:56.639 --> 00:56:00.159
<v Speaker 1>makes it hard to produce any art at all. You

1112
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:02.320
<v Speaker 1>need help from your higher power, from your friends, from

1113
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:06.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone in order to get anything out. For me and

1114
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:09.639
<v Speaker 1>my first special, you know, how to Housewife? I called

1115
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>everyone I knew from advertising, and I said homies were

1116
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.400
<v Speaker 1>phoned in a favor, can we throw this special together?

1117
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:19.119
<v Speaker 1>And I had some friends like bootstrap it, and it

1118
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:24.280
<v Speaker 1>it went great. Like I was talk about synchronicity, the

1119
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:27.079
<v Speaker 1>universe lined up with that and was like yes, the

1120
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:31.119
<v Speaker 1>clips went viral, like the numbers were great. Everything, everything

1121
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:34.679
<v Speaker 1>worked way beyond my wildest dreams of how I ever

1122
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:38.960
<v Speaker 1>expected it to work. And then here's the other thing.

1123
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>We need. Enthusiasm, right, Enthusiasm is in the short it's

1124
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:48.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about discipline here right, Like discipline is important, but

1125
00:56:48.519 --> 00:56:52.159
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm is really what you need. By its very nature.

1126
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Discipline is rooted in self admiration. We admire ourselves for

1127
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:58.960
<v Speaker 1>being so wonderful. But over any extended period of time,

1128
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:01.639
<v Speaker 1>being an artist requires enthusiasm more than discipline. It's a

1129
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:04.840
<v Speaker 1>spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to our creative process, a

1130
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:08.119
<v Speaker 1>loving recognition of all of the creativity around us. Enthusiasm

1131
00:57:08.199 --> 00:57:10.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Greek word filled with God, is an ongoing

1132
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:13.400
<v Speaker 1>energy supply. It tapped into the flow of life, itself

1133
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:17.679
<v Speaker 1>grounded in play. And here's the thing I will hear

1134
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:21.119
<v Speaker 1>people out for the case that discipline is important. I

1135
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:23.280
<v Speaker 1>really think it is important. I think if you sit

1136
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:26.079
<v Speaker 1>down to write once a week or twice a week

1137
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:27.920
<v Speaker 1>or four times a week. However many times you sit

1138
00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:30.639
<v Speaker 1>down to write, something will come out. You cannot wait

1139
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to be inspired all the time. You do need to

1140
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:34.480
<v Speaker 1>have a bit of discipline, and there does need to

1141
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:36.440
<v Speaker 1>be a bit of a schedule. But what needs to

1142
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.199
<v Speaker 1>come with that is enthusiasm, which is the energy to

1143
00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:42.360
<v Speaker 1>bring something beautiful to life. And just remember your inner

1144
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:45.519
<v Speaker 1>artist is a child and it needs to be treated

1145
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.320
<v Speaker 1>as such. And the only way to really get kids

1146
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to do anything is to play. And so you just

1147
00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have to remember to be playful. Even though it might

1148
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.599
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit structured, there does need to be

1149
00:57:53.719 --> 00:57:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a sense of play, and just be cognizant for creative

1150
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:00.320
<v Speaker 1>U turns. You know, when you're about to reach success

1151
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.079
<v Speaker 1>or when you're about to put something out and you

1152
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:04.239
<v Speaker 1>want to fucking turn around, You want a board ship,

1153
00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:06.679
<v Speaker 1>you want to burn it to the fucking ground. Look out,

1154
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:11.360
<v Speaker 1>because that is that's fear, that that's a blurt, that's

1155
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:14.199
<v Speaker 1>something that you you don't want. When I was about

1156
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to put out How to Housewife, I emailed my manager

1157
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and said, I don't want to put this out anymore.

1158
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going through a divorce. I'm not a housewife. None

1159
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.039
<v Speaker 1>of this is true, and I don't want this to exist,

1160
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:28.519
<v Speaker 1>and he respectfully told me to fuck off. He said, respectfully,

1161
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:31.119
<v Speaker 1>we have the deal, we have the launch date. It's happening.

1162
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:35.159
<v Speaker 1>We're putting it out. And thank god for that, because

1163
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.280
<v Speaker 1>left my own defenses, I would not have put out

1164
00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:41.559
<v Speaker 1>How to Housewife. I would have not put out Horney.

1165
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:43.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys know how much I fucking hated that special.

1166
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:47.599
<v Speaker 1>The only special I would have put out is Sorry Dad,

1167
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:52.159
<v Speaker 1>which is the least viewed special. So it's just interesting.

1168
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Just just remember you do not always know what's best,

1169
00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and if there's if you're getting close to creating something

1170
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.000
<v Speaker 1>or accomplishing something and you try and steer the show

1171
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:04.960
<v Speaker 1>so it crashes onto the shore, just no, just no,

1172
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that's very normal, but just don't do it. So you

1173
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:10.960
<v Speaker 1>got to blast through your blocks right in order to

1174
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:12.880
<v Speaker 1>work really on a project, and artists must be at

1175
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:16.360
<v Speaker 1>least functionally free of resentment, which is anger, and resistance,

1176
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:19.079
<v Speaker 1>which is fear. Remember your artist is a creative child.

1177
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.920
<v Speaker 1>It sulks, throws tantrums, hold grudges, harbor's irrational fear. Like

1178
00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:25.320
<v Speaker 1>most children, it's afraid of the dark. The Boogeyman and

1179
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:30.199
<v Speaker 1>the Adventure that isn't safely scary. Your artist's parent and guardian.

1180
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:34.199
<v Speaker 1>It's big brother, warrior and companion. It falls to you

1181
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:39.119
<v Speaker 1>to convince your artists it's safe to come out and play. So, yeah,

1182
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.639
<v Speaker 1>you guys, it's week nine. We're fucking cruising here. I'm

1183
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:44.800
<v Speaker 1>so proud of you guys for doing this. I know

1184
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:47.880
<v Speaker 1>there's at least ten of us doing it. Don't forget

1185
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:51.119
<v Speaker 1>your tasks, don't forget your artists days dates, don't forget

1186
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:53.320
<v Speaker 1>your morning pages. I'm gonna be so honest. I haven't

1187
00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:57.199
<v Speaker 1>been doing morning pages because no, because nothing. Because I

1188
00:59:57.239 --> 00:59:59.480
<v Speaker 1>haven't been doing them because I don't know where my

1189
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:01.599
<v Speaker 1>journals are in all of my boxes. And I ran

1190
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:04.159
<v Speaker 1>out my journal that I was journaling and ran out

1191
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the second I moved to New York, and so I

1192
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>haven't been doing that. And just because I said it

1193
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>out loud, I'm going to start tomorrow. I'm going to

1194
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>open these last four boxes and I'm going to find it.

1195
01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:14.559
<v Speaker 1>If you're doing the work, I'm really proud of you. Besties.

1196
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>DM me let me know you're at how it's feeling,

1197
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>what's shaking loose? Some of you have sent me some

1198
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>really cool messages about things that have happened in synchronicity

1199
01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>and thoughts, feelings, all the things. So just let me

1200
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>know how it's going. Besties, Okay, I love you so much.
