Speaker 1 (00:00):
Marty's got a book I do who from my mom?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oho?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
My mom has a street library, you know, she gets
books all the time, and people come and leave books
for her and they exchange books and all of that.
And anyway, she's out there changing the books and someone's
left a book that she decided was for me.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Mmmm.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
And it's called Things to Do Now that you'll single again.
It does say again on the book, and it does.
There's a fabulous young lady kicking her heels up, dancing
around like she's you know, she's back to a bad self.
It's a pretty big book actually, and she's laughing. Well,
I flipped through it, I said, mom, seriously, she goes, No,

(00:39):
I thought you'd get a laughter here. Take this home.
If it's not my mother giving me anecdotes like this,
it's my best friend Renee telling me to go to
the dump and get men to help me unload my
my utes. You know it's the place to No, I
don't need help. I'm actually okay. But I just thought
i'd read you a few little parts of this book
that are apparently meant to help me. Campo. And one
of them says, if you're out and about a lot

(01:00):
carry a small bag of nuts and seeds and take
some fruit to snack on. They're much healthier for you
than biscuits, chips and chocolate. Now that I'm single, Yeah,
that I'm single again, join a psychic development group. This
can be very empowering as it will help you develop
your inner strength, something that you may never have known

(01:23):
you had. I think I know I've got in a strength.
I think I'm okay with that. Except that you're single
right now for a reason. It's not your fault. Perhaps
you need this time alone to grow spiritually. Trust that
you will meet the right person when the time is right. Oh,

(01:44):
it's full of it, I said, mom, It all right.
You may be single, but make an effort with your
appearance every day, even if you don't feel like it.
Get out of your draggings. Don't be wearing your young
boots around to get out of that sweatshirt and dress you.
Who's the author? Who's the author? Oh look, I'm not
sure it's Eva. I can't pronounce on last name. Jesup,

(02:06):
will watch Kovich or someone's got on? And it's like,
rethink your relationships with every single person. Basically, are you
the problem? You may love your friends and family, But
how often do you show it take time to make
them feel appreciated. Now that you've got time that you're
singles again, you'll be surprised how much calmer and happier
this will make you feel. This is what this was

(02:27):
my bedtime. Reading Everything that irritates us about others can
lead us to understanding ourselves. Ends embrasili and are you
calling it out in the book?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Is basically a brass money is louve your laugh as
you are yourself. And don't try and impress people because
it doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
And I think we should all put a page in
the book. We should take some of this and what
our own books together. That's Ian's advice. Don't wait for
others to arrange social events, as you said, Ian, that's
it organized group activities that will be able to get
people to know each other. It also says, run a marathon.
I think it's full of shit, to be honest, Run
a marathon.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Word fun run funny?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
There isn't if I'm running in there's a problem, all right?
If you see me running, yes, yes, there's definitely something.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Going on because the body's in danger.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Oh no, it's a gem there's more to come. Just
read you a little exert make every couple of days.
Please raise your single status and enjoy the freedom. That's
the best line I've ever heard. I love it. Perhaps
you need a doorstopper of paperway man was meant to
come into your life. It's certainly not the coffee table
book that you want to keep out, is it.
