Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yet me tell them, Yeah, they talk better than these are.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The radio blocks on the Fred Show. By the way,
we are not off next week.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'll be working from West Palm because everybody knows we
need some quality control down there. I mean it's cold
where we are. That has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Though.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I don't want people to think I'm going down there
because it's spring break time. But like I look, the
bottom line is we're new in West Palm on Wild
ninety five to five. It's very important, that very important
that one of us and I nominate myself, goes down there.
I volunteer a tribute. Gotta go down there and got
to sort it out, make sure everything's going right, make
sure everybody can hear us. Okay, make sure everybody knows
us down there. I gotta go see Mark and Mark

(00:44):
and Jason.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I saw your speedo in your bag and Megan and.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I gotta put this.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I got a new speedo and I was like, you
know what, time for some quality control in Florida.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's right, So I'm gonna go down there.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I gotta make sure these guys are doing what they're
supposed to be doing, because last I heard, we're not
even up anywhere. You're thirteen listeners down there. I think
we're still at about two, which is more than they've had.
So I think that's good. I think that's good. Anyway,
let's do a blog, shall we? Audio Journals calling to
take it away?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Thank you so much to your blog. So you guys
know that, you know, I go to therapy and one.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Thing that I'm trying to do get better at is
get things done. Okay, you know me that I get
so distracted and you go see it here every morning,
so you first hand have that experience with me, like
literally firsthand. And what happens is I'll say, oh, yeah,
like can you do this or grab this?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
And I'm like yeah, I'm on it. And next thing
you know, I'm looking out the window. You know what
I mean. I'm just like, now, because.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm always asked you look at the window, collea, would
you go take a look at the window, just let
me know what you.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Say, like you'll need something, right, I'm like, yeah, okay,
it for you, no problem. And then I get up
and I'm just doing things I'm not supposed to be doing.
I get very distracted.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'm looking out the window and that's you know news
to us.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, well, well you know you know where I go.
Thanks for killing me in now you know where I'm going.
Half the time, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
So I wanted to start something new where I was like, well,
what can I do to get more organized?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
And I do bring up Jason a lot in therapy,
and I go, you know, one of my best friends,
Like he's so good at like this thing where he's
just like he gets it.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Done in the moment.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Right if you say, hey, Jay, can you help me
with this whatever, He'll be like, I gotta do it now.
I just I won't do it, and not because he
doesn't want you, because he'll forget. And I'm like, maybe
that's my issue. I just forget and I say I'm
gonna do this and do that, let me grab this,
and I just forget. So then I heard this turn
brain dump. We're like I kind of do on our
prep sheet. I kind of just dump ideas and thoughts

(02:28):
my diary.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Because sometimes I'm like, what exactly what we're supposed to
do with that? Because we have a sheet everyone writes
down their ideas for the show every day, and sometimes
I'm like, what what was that for you?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Or for us or do you realize everyone can see that?

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Or but I highly recommend it, like if you can
brain dump, wherever you can brain dump.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
But so, what's on your brain? Dumb right now because
you have the little piece of paper right in front
of you.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
But I just like to see, like it's nothing too crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's just like things that I had to get done
that I hadn't gotten done for years. When I moved
into my house a year ago, I was supposed.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
To hang photos.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Wrote down hang photos.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
I said, print photos and even print like print photos
and then hang them.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I said.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Drop off bottle to Janie was my tenant and my
one of my friends. I had an Acus spates for
her for her birthday. I give I give good good
bottles to do. Yeah, oh yeah, you know, the best
of the best. And what else did I have here?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Oh? Call Jason. I don't know what I had to
call you. I had to call you about something.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Did you do it?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I did? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I think it was about yesterday. We figured out some
some cool stuff. Speaking of West Palm and all our
we're doing some work.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So we're writing things down now that we need to do.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
I think it's gonna help me, you, guys, I also
did cross out things I didn't get done, so I'm
kind of lying to myself a little.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Cross out stuff you didn't do. No, what did you
cross out that? Why did you cross out if you
didn't do it?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'm not really sure. I said update Amazon.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
I don't know what that even means, but I crossed
the docuse.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I'm like, I don't want to do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I got a store from Paulina that reminds me
of a story that it's I have it here, somewhere,
I'll find it. I'll do it next hour. But basically
the gist is that people lie to themselves. They cheat
and a lot of themselves, Like with games and tasks
and things, they'll go and like look up the answer
and then use the answer and then convince themselves that

(04:11):
they got it right. So like in everyday life as humans,
we cheat ourselves but then convince ourselves that we are
actually smarter than Like I'll explain later, but that's what
I feel like. If you write something down and then
you don't do it and cross it out, it's like,
look how effishing I was today.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
But I'm lying to myself a little bit but I do.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I do move them to the next page because I
like a fresh page every day. So maybe my crossing
out is a reflection of like, we're going to try
this again tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
But I feel you. I have so many lists that
I start and I just start a new list because
everyone tells me to write list.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Because I am also very adhd and like, I just
keep starting lists and then I lose the list and
then I don't know, but I try to have one.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Like get spit done day and like it's.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Just like I just go really hard, like just cross
the stuff off, and then.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know, I'm like Jason, though, I have to. I
have to do it right now. I have to respond
to the email right now. I have to do the
task right now. Because the truth is it's not because
I want to, but because if I don't, I'll probably forget.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
But how do you not get distracted when you start
doing that task, like even opening my phone to like go, okay, I.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Got an email Jason about this, there's five other things
that distract me and then I forgot.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes, I mean I do, but you're amazing, Yeah, thank you,
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Thank you. No, No, it's because I'll just forget.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I just won't do it, so I have to do
it right now, which is its own level of crazy.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
But if you can't, then like write it down right
home and cross it off. Even if you dross it off,
like right now after the show, you guys, I got
to go to the bank for a check. I gotta
go write a check like you cross that one off already.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Know you know I did it, Okay, because you haven't
done it, it's not the o D at end of day.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, Plus, it's very satisfying when you do it and
cross it off. So I do love that about a
list because when you actually do it and then you
feel like you earn the right to cross it off,
that's a very fulfilling thing, unlike when you just cross
it off when you.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'll stop lying to myself, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Stop lying. Trouble more fred Shaw next
