Ever wondered how a simple act of vulnerability could transform your understanding of yourself? Join us this week on the Kat and Moose podcast as we celebrate the astounding success of Producer Sara's captivating new podcast "SEQUESTERED," where she shares insightful tales from her time as Juror # 11 on a murder trial in Chattanooga, TN. Thanks to Moose's genius marketing skills, honed from years in the music industry, Sara's podcast has attracted an impressive audience and numerous interviews. Amidst all the hoopla, we ponder the idea of turning this episode into a prayer request and praise report session, using humor to explore personal truths and the challenge of revealing them to a trusted confidant.
This episode also takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the 1980s, a time of quirky parenting practices and bizarre events like the cyanide-laced Tylenol scare. We reminisce about childhood antics that persist despite our parents' best deterrents, and how these shaped the adults we've become. There’s laughter in recalling the carefree ways of the past, like teething remedies involving whiskey, and a reflection on how these experiences have guided us to seek self-awareness over external validation.
Prepare for laughter as we recount travel misadventures, like leaving valuables behind during flights or the dreaded airport security chaos. With the looming task of obtaining a Real ID, we share the amusing trials at the DMV and the modern challenges every traveler faces. Whether it’s the tangled web of identification or the nostalgic memory of browsing cassette tapes, our tales promise to resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the stress of travel or the pull of the past.

quirks of being human.
Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Cat, Hi Sarah, Hi everyone.
I didn't actually say that toyou, even though we've been
hanging out for the last fiveminutes.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hi, sarah.
Well, I didn't give you much ofa choice either.
Why, what do you mean?
Well, because I immediately waswhen you were like I might have
to pop out.
I was like I got because youhave your own podcast.
Well, I do, but that's not why.
Yeah, I'm really proud of you,sarah.
Like, congratulations on umsequestered.
(00:45):
I know we talked about thislast week too, but I just am
really proud of you and I thinkthe marketing that you guys have
done um for your podcast aboutyour experience as a juror
number 11, um.
I've really been impressed withyou guys, thank you.
Thanks, kat, yeah, welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Moose is killing it in the marketing world and all
of the social media things thatI absolutely hate doing, but I'm
doing my best.
She actually was as amazing.
I just have to brag on her fora minute because she's taken all
of these skills that she's usedin her music industry job over
(01:21):
the last 20 plus years and she'sjust supplying them to this
podcast and going let's justwrite a press release and send
it out.
And I'm like what, how do youjust write that and where do you
send it out to?
Where do you just put a pressrelease to?
And she found like 80 emailsand it was more than that.
But yeah, but like justcustomized each press release
(01:43):
for each County she was sendingit to, or at each you know,
whether it was to the newschannels or podcast people, or
I've had three interviews, allthis attention and excitement
around it and it just it's fun.
(02:05):
It's cool to see, um, justsomething that we just were like
we have to do something about,like act on this now and just
see it turn into something youknow, or just already getting a
buzz.
I guess we don't know if it'sturned into anything yet, but
it's fun to feel the buzz aroundit.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm super, super impressed, and I was out
on the road this past week withone of our clients and a
particular band member of thisclient came up to me and she was
like so have you watched theinterview that Sarah did?
And I was like no, I haven'twatched it yet because I've been
working all day and she waslike, oh my God, it's so good,
(02:43):
it's so professional.
I'm like you are aninternational sensation.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes, dignitary Sarah.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What I think is cool is that, uh, sarah has just like
stepped up to the plate, likeif, if the roles were reversed
and I was the one, I would notwant to do all of these
interviews and things like that,and she's just like sure, I'm
just sharing my experience.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's not that it's more, it's not as oh sure.
Um, I've definitely had somehesitation cause I don't like
being seen in that light, youknow, just on camera.
But it's fine, it's good and ithas been fine and fun and I
feel really like excited to meetthese people.
And, anyway, that's not thepodcast we're on today.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well, I was going to ask once we started talking
about our podcast, I was goingto ask, you know, it seems like
just about every week we saysomething like we're a science
podcast or we're a psychologypodcast or we're a whatever, and
I was wondering this week if Icould have a moment of our
podcast that could be a prayerrequest podcast and a praise
(03:51):
report podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, I love that.
Oh, we've got plenty oflisteners with religious trauma
that would really appreciatethose two phrases.
So, yeah, bring it on.
Yeah, good, awesome, what isyour prayer?
Tell me what we need to prayabout for.
Is this an unspoken prayerrequest or a spoken one?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah Well.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I have two.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I have two the unspoken prayer request is what
do I do with the question thatyou asked last week about?
What are you afraid to tell thetruth about?
Yes, I haven't been able tofind anybody to tell my answer
to Well.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
can you tell us?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Are you looking?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
No Like.
Are you looking for?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
people I am making a prayer request.
Who can I possibly tell myinnermost and most authentic,
most heinous truth to?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean, you've got us two plus at least a thousand
other people listening, I meanthe difference between you and I
is I would never put out thatplea because I don't want people
to know.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Same, but you aren't willing to share that publicly.
Is what I'm gathering?
No, absolutely not like.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Absolutely not and in neither, I would imagine, are
either of you right?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
no, I doubt it.
Are we allowed to ask anyleading questions?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
oh sure, yeah of course, just kidding, I wouldn't
want that and now I haveleading questions.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
uh, can I'm just gonna ask one.
The thing you don't want totell the truth about it is the
reason why you need somebody totell it to for the witnessing of
it.
Is that where that feels liketo you, like just?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
to have them witness it with you.
Yeah, I need, I need, I needfor it.
I think that that would thebest word I can come up with is
disarm.
Oh yeah, the truth, I like that.
Okay, you know, it's like if Ican just say it out loud and
just be witnessed and be heard,then it'll probably like totally
dissipate.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, like it probably won't be that that big of a
deal.
It's like the power of it goesaway.
Yes, that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's like the power of it goes away.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, what if we say it and then just beep it out?
No, I don't trust you on this.
We can't have record of it.
Is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, I'm not saying we can't have record of it.
I'm saying I don't trust youwith record of it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is it illegal?
Yeah, is it illegal.
Is it something?
We know about you.
Yeah, I doubt it oh.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know.
Oh okay, uh okay.
Enough leading questions ontomy praise report.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Praise report.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, that was my first prayer request.
My second prayer request, um,is that, um, I and my second
prayer request is that and itsounds very similar and it's not
regarding the same thing I amdealing with a handful of
situations in my life, like work, personal life, school job,
like my whole being, where Ireally need a lot of discernment
(06:58):
.
And so we had I gave a bigspeech a few podcasts ago about
angels, unemployed angels andthem just sitting around needing
work, and I really just coulduse some discernment.
Angels, okay, I just need somediscernment because I have a lot
(07:19):
of things that feel very likeon the line.
It's like, well, I could dothis or I could do that, and I
don't think it's one of thosethings where I don't think
either way.
In any of these decisions that Ihave to make, I don't think
there's a right or wrong, Ithink there's a good and I think
there's a best, you know.
And so, like I really amneeding discernment, like, do I
just go with good or do I gowith best?
Like what?
Like what do I do?
And so those are my two prayerrequests.
(07:41):
So, for all of you religiouslytraumatized, if you want to jump
back into how your body feltwhen you were religiously
traumatized and offer me someprayers.
That'd be really nice.
And then, while you're in thatstate, maybe I can do something
(08:04):
that would not traumatize youand offer you a praise report,
in that I have had my secondprolo therapy session with my
right foot and today, as we arerecording right now, I have zero
pain in my foot.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Holy smokes On your second treatment.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That is incredible, yeah, and they said that I might
not really notice significantimpact until a fourth or fifth
treatment, so the fact that I'mon treatment too.
I had my first one in lateNovember and then I had my
second one last week.
And as I was walking around myhouse today I was like why am I
so weird?
Like everything in my body isweird.
(08:43):
Why is it weird.
So I kind of did like a bodyscan and I was like I'm not in
pain.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'm not in pain right now.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's incredible, kat, and I don't know if it's
going to last a day.
I don't know if it's going tolast an hour, I don't know if
it's going to last a lifetime,but this is my shout out for woo
, woo, regenerative PRPprolotherapy.
Woo, woo, regenerative PRPprolotherapy.
I'm for it, I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What a praise, praise the Lord.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Raise your hands to the Lord.
Is that the song?
Hey, do you remember the lasttime?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
you didn't have pain in that foot.
I thought you were going to asksomething else.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was January of 2020.
Wow, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Five years years.
I thought you're gonna say doyou remember the last time you
raised your hand in praise?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
and I would like you to answer that oh, it was just
the two nights ago in washingtondc.
I could not help myself likegood for you good for you a
concert with one of our clients,and he was singing a song that
I have heard him sing 8,000times.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I literally was like yeah, they went up.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, just this one went up.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like I was so excited .
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, just my right hand.
Partial praise.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I had our friend Teresa, who recently passed away
.
I would always tease herbecause whenever I would say
that she was dangerous to standnext to in church, because she
would put a hand up like this,but then she'd start circling
with it and so her eyes wouldalways be shut.
So you would get the claw atsome point during the worship
(10:18):
service yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And did that somehow bless you?
I'm sure it did in some way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah, yeah,yeah.
I love washing over it, justwashed right over me won't he do
it okay.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
so I looked up the word discernment and, uh, cat,
here is what it says it is Okay.
And it says the ability tojudge.
Well, and then it says here'san example an astonishing lack
of discernment is how it'sdescribed.
And then, in Christian contextswhich I think you might have
(10:58):
brought along, it saysperception in the absence of
judgment, with the view toobtaining spiritual guidance and
understanding.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
That is what I'm talking about Perception in the
absence of judgment, with a viewto obtaining spiritual guidance
and understanding.
And then an example in asentence would be without
providing for a time of healingand discernment, there will be
no hope of living through thispresent moment without a
(11:31):
shattering of our common life.
That's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Who talks like that?
Nobody even knows what thatmeans.
Like that's, yeah, that's likeThomas Merton stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Hey, I love Thomas Merton.
No, me too.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It takes about 10 years to understand what he's
saying.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, it love me some Thomas Burton stuff.
No, me too.
It takes about 10 years tounderstand what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, it's like reading Richard Rohr.
You know, it's like wait, wait,wait, what?
Like?
I read a Mary Oliver poem onFacebook the other day and of
course I thought of you becauseI know how much you love her
work, Moose and I read it likesix times and I was like I think
maybe I'm understanding thefirst line, like after six times
.
Yeah, you gotta be in the.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You gotta be in the right head space to sit there
and take it in.
Um, yeah, so wait.
The reason I'm bringing this upis I think it's curious to me
that you need outsideconfirmation on something.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, it's curious to me too, If I could rid myself
of whatever that is.
I think, I would achieveenlightenment, like I would
become enlightened right in thatmoment, when I did not need
some sort of outside influenceor opinion or something.
And I really loved actuallythat definition that you read,
(12:50):
the one that was in theChristian context, because it
said without judgment, yeah,Perception and the absence of
judgment.
Yeah, it's like just perceivingwhat is not what I perceive is,
but what actually?
Is you know, it's very, it'sactually very Taoist, I agree.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I agree, it is very Thomas Merton.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So do you know what the right thing to do is?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't.
I mean, if I did, I would notbe spending 20 minutes of all of
our precious time talking aboutit Well, I'm enjoying these 20
minutes, me too.
Yeah, I'm liking it, yeah, I'mdigging it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'm going to ask you again Do you kind of know what
to do?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, do I kind of know .
I kind of know.
Okay, yeah, kind of know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
But I don't know what would it take for you to know.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
An outside person.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
If an outside person is not an option.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There is not an option.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So the only other person besides an outside person
would be God themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, for God to tell me, okay so another, another
prayer report is that the lorddrops wisdom and knowledge into
your soul and well, and beingyes, yes, yes, yes, now you said
, moose, that you had a topicthat is going to completely like
send us off into outer space,like space, yeah it sure is okay
(14:23):
.
I want to talk about somethingthat popped in my mind a couple
weeks ago, and maybe we need awhole spin-off of a podcast.
That's just this, but what thehell happened in the 80s is what
I would like to call it oh Imean where to begin I know I
mean some of the best music everagreed I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, were any of you in a car seat?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
no in the 80s, no nope no, none of us were in a
car seat.
That's what I'm saying.
There was slinkies, no carseats.
Like our parents had no ideawhere we were, my mom would
always say, go play in trafficand I just had to be home when
it got dark.
Yeah, lots of crap happened inthe eighties that nobody really
(15:07):
talks about.
So I would like to talk aboutsomething that happened to me in
the eighties.
Oh, okay, okay, I was born in1978, by the way, so I wasn't
you know, I was like, uh, so Iwasn't you know.
I was like what is that called Atween in the 80s?
Yeah, sure, I was also atoddler, because it's a decade
long.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You were two years old.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
No but this happened later in the 80s.
Here's my point, that is not atween.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Here's my point.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Parents are divorced.
All I want in my life is to beable to self-soothe by sucking
my thumb.
That's really all I want.
These two humans I know it'stheir first time through the
world as well, but they really.
They caused some trauma in mylife by breaking up and all that
(15:56):
, whatever, and so all I want isa thumb.
I'm not asking for much more,just to suck my thumb, yeah, and
so I remember being at my dad'shouse during the summer, and he
was.
I don't know if my mom taskedhim with it or what, but he was
bound and determined that I wasgoing to quit sucking my thumb,
and he put hot sauce on my thumb.
(16:17):
Like doesn't that just soundlike something that would happen
in the 80s.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yes, terrible Tabasco , that's what I got, you got it
too, tabasco sauce.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, and see, I don't think that.
I don't really think I had athumb sucking problem when I was
teething and I blame my motherfor how much I like to drink
still.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
When I was teething, my mom would rub whiskey on my
gum.
I know that's what they did.
Yeah, that was also just fine.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Oh, it was totally fine, and chances are I was
happier than any baby in thismodern day.
Like who has, like, you knowwhat's it called?
Like the lidocaine stuff thatyou put?
You know it's like no, just usewhiskey, like that's brilliant.
Yeah, you know it's like no,just use whiskey, like that's
brilliant, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I know, I think the people who are raising kids in
the eighties.
They just had alcohol aroundand it was.
It was like cat.
It was just categorized asmedicine at that point.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So they were like what do we use to feel better
Whiskey?
Let me put a little on myfinger.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Give it to the kid, yeah, yeah.
So your dad put hot sauce onyour thumb and did that rid you
of your thumb sucking habit?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I mean, I don't think so.
I really don't, because I thinkI ended up sucking my thumb
till I was like 12, which got meto 1990, for the record.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But good job, thank you, but that's self-soothing at
its finest.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I was just thinking about shit that happened in the
eighties and I was wondering doyou guys remember um, when
cyanide was found inside ofTylenol?
Oh, it was a big deal, likeit's a big yeah.
Yeah, it was like uh, I thinkit was even considered like
national terrorism or something,but like I remember the phrase
(18:09):
um ended all with Tylenol.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wow, yeah, I vaguely remember that Like now that you
said it I can go.
Yes, I remember that happening,but like I couldn't tell you
that would not be in my top 100list of things that I remember
from the 80s you know, but Ifeel, like I do remember that.
And then, when did arsenichappen?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
when people were sending arsenic, it felt like in
the 80s or 90s for sure, yeah,yeah, yeah they just started, or
ricin, they would send like,yeah, like they would send
letters to the Capitol orwhatever, and yeah, that was a
weird thing.
And then the 80s also had a lotof 1-900 numbers, which are so
bizarre now.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We've definitely talked about that before we have
.
Yeah, we have definitely talkedabout that before and I think
we determined that all of ushave one 900 voices if we try.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, we totally could.
And then of course in theeighties I sure loved I would go
to the grocery store with mymom.
It was the thrift way and therewas a whole aisle of of tapes,
like in the grocery store.
It carried, it carried all likethe latest releases.
(19:24):
Do you guys remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
yeah, yeah, I totally remember that, because I was
obsessed with that section ofwhatever store I was in, like my
mom, if she ever couldn't findme, that's where I would be.
It's like yep and then then itmight've been a little bit after
the eighties, but I rememberbeing in a store called James
way.
Do you remember James way?
No, it was kind of like atarget, like a like a Walmart
(19:48):
type thing.
Um, and I remember that iswhere I bought the debut album
from Wilson Phillips.
Oh man, and, and it was in oneof those like cd boxes that was
like 12 inches high, that the cdwas in the bottom, but the
whole thing was like the artworkand the credits and all of that
.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Are you sure it was a cd?
Yes, it was.
It was okay.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, it was, but it was like a new thing, like it
was like we're in the sectionwhere all the tapes were like
what you're talking about andthen there was this little bitty
section of this new cd thing,totally yeah, they were still
trying to convert people overyeah, man guys, that doesn't
feel like it was that long ago Iknow, and yet it feels like a
(20:31):
lifetime ago as welland now we carry small computers
in our hands and pockets at alltimes, right yeah, it's crazy
that have thousands andthousands of songs, thousands of
songs, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It's nuts.
And then, um, you know, therewas the big HIV AIDS scare.
I feel like and I it'sinteresting because I recently
saw it was an ad for adocumentary about that timeframe
and you know but then the moviePhiladelphia came out.
(21:06):
I think that came out in the 90sbut a pandemic with covet 19,
but like that was an epidemic ofits own, that sort of struck
(21:32):
during our lifetime that I'venever really gone back and gone
like how did that affect?
I mean I've seen a lot of, likeI said, movies about it and
things like that.
But yeah, okay, so I looked upon reddit tell me what everyone
remembers of the 80s and I meanjust so many great things came
up.
Definitely people talked aboutstranger danger where you know
(21:56):
everyone was getting kidnapped,and then the satanic panic.
Do you remember that?
No, any time somebody would getlike found, murdered or
whatever.
It was constantly blamed onpeople being in cults oh gosh
which is insane, yeah.
And then this person wrote therewas cocaine everywhere.
We were buying each other gramsfor birthday presents when we
(22:18):
were 16 oh my gosh, oh my god mygod also, we got into bars at
15 and 16.
if you were born 1966, it waseasy to doctor your license and
give the six an O.
We lived in a city where weedwas pretty much decriminalized.
Anything under an ounce was $25fine.
Oh my gosh, my first year ofhigh school the seniors had
(22:42):
their own lounge where we wouldsmoke cigarettes which is insane
to think about that.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What I do remember that in school I remember there
was smoking court.
Yeah, there was smoking court.
Like when I was in middleschool there was smoking court.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That can't be real.
We had like a corner, buteveryone knew that's where you
go.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh my gosh, you guys.
I mean, there are probablystill ashtrays in the airplanes,
don't?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
you think?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, they still are.
Well, what are you flying?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Spirit airlines.
We go into any bathroom,there's still a little ashtray
that pops out and it says nosmoking and it's like, well, why
is that even here?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, what's so funny is that there was a smoking
section and a non-smokingsection.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yes, god, what difference does that make?
Same with restaurants.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
My sister and I were talking last week about how we
flew a couple of times from theUnited States to New Delhi,
india, when my dad was stationedin New Delhi, the United States
to New Delhi, india, when mydad was stationed in New Delhi,
and she was talking the otherday about the smoking section on
Lufthansa Airlines, and we werelike, yeah, like that was
completely normal, completelynormal.
And then, like just in one week, this week, we've had more
(24:01):
aviation crashes in the United.
States and it's like let peoplesmoke again.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Give them whatever substances they are wanting.
I mean, you just flew into DCAlike days after that happened,
right, I did.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I did, yeah, yeah, it was very weird and I didn't
even realize this.
It gave me so much compassionfor my mom and really it helped
me remember that people careabout me.
But my mom said when I landedin Nashville I always text my
mom and my sister when I land.
It's just a thing that we do.
I'm like landed safe inNashville, like I've made it
(24:38):
through one more tin can tripthrough the air, you know.
And and so my mom said back tome and she was like I'm so
grateful for prayers answered,especially after last week's
tragedy, and I was like what?
And it really made me think Iwas like my mom.
My mom was praying that I wouldbe okay which she does anyway,
(25:00):
you know but it's like havinghaving even more of a concern
for me because of what happenedto that plane that was flying
into Reagan national airport andthat is where was flying into
Reagan National Airport and thatis where I flew in and out of
and clearly I'm fine, I'm stillhere, it was all okay.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I'm so glad I texted you and asked if you were
nervous about that.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I wasn't, and I said this to my mom too.
I said how I just have a reallystrong belief, and I think what
that could be translated intois denial.
I think it's just didn'tcomplete denial that like,
because otherwise I would be tooanxious to fly you know, what I
mean.
If I didn't just live in denial, I'd be like, oh shit, I'm not
flying into reagan like you'recrazy.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, especially after they showed all of the um
airstrips and they're like oh if, if you miss this, you're
basically slamming intohelicopters in the corridor.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, exactly or right into the Pentagon, you
know, no problem.
Ok, I have a question for youguys like talking about flying
and all of that, all of that.
I experienced in my most recenttrip, several things happening
over the intercom, either on theplane or at the airport, of
(26:15):
someone saying something likeMrs So-and-so, if you have left
your phone on the airplane atgate G4, please report to the
missing items.
You yeah baggage thing orwhatever.
And it seemed like an excessiveamount of messages about people
leaving their shit, either likeat security or on the plane or
(26:39):
whatever it is, and it made merecollect the times that I have
left something and what a dramafest it was to get my stuff back
.
And so it made me wanted to askyou guys like have you guys ever
left anything on a plane and ifso, what was your experience
like man?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
my, uh, probably most memorable one and most recent
one, I want to say it was eitherlast year or the year before.
Um, I left my laptop in theback pocket of the seat in front
of me.
And we had already gotten to ournext gate and they were about
to board and I realized it and Ihad to run back.
(27:19):
I mean it was one of those oneswhere you have to like take a
shuttle to the other like sideof the world to get to that
other corridor or whatever.
And I mean I was sweating sobad and I was just running as
fast as I could.
I got it.
I actually made the flight LikeI couldn't believe it.
It was like right before thedoors were closing, but I was so
stressed and just hot, you knowwhich makes you more stressed.
(27:44):
Yes, yes, stressed and angry forme Awful.
What about you?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I uh, I can't.
I know I've left like an iPadon before, um, but the story I
remember is I was with an artistwho left their bag like outside
the bathroom or something andby the time he got back to it
there was like police and dogssniffing it and all of this
(28:11):
stuff.
I don't know if it was an extrabag and he forgot he had it or
what it was, but it was a wholesituation where they were
believing it might be somethingmore than a bag.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, and somebody listened when they say if you
see something, say something.
Well, sarah, I too left mylaptop on a plane.
Oh no, and I didn't realize ituntil I had landed, like.
So I left it on the plane.
I landed at my destination, theplane went wherever it was
(28:43):
going and then, when I got liketo my hotel or something, I was
like, oh my God, I left mylaptop on the plane and I
remember I had to call like 50numbers, I had to talk to like
50 different people, and somehowmy laptop made it back to
Nashville, um, to like thebaggage desk area or whatever,
(29:05):
and the person who gave me mylaptop back, they said we want
you to open it and we want youto log in to prove that it's
yours.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Like we want you to like enter your password.
Which my password at the timewas fantastical it was the name
Jesus.
I'm like anybody can guess thatpassword.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I remember most of your passwords were that or
Jesus won, yeah, yeah, exactly,not like won the war, but won
the number Just right.
Yeah, jesus is my number one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It reminds me of one of the radio stations we work
with in your hometown, MooseWAKW, pointing the way to the
one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I don't know if they use that anymore, but it was
always a finger pointing up ontheir ads, pointing the way to
the one, and the one is up highin the sky, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, pointing the way to the one.
So, as far as traveling, you'reabout to travel today, moose
right.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I am.
I'm about to jump on a plane toHouston, and are you?
And it's like 300 degrees thereyou're about to travel today.
Moose right I am.
I'm about to jump on a plane to.
Houston, and are you?
And it's like 300 degrees there, is it really February whenever
we are?
Yeah, nice, that soundswonderful.
I know I want to sweat my pitsoff.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Amazing.
I'm wondering uh, when you gothrough security, do you have
yet the real ID?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I think I do.
I'm not sure.
I think I have the real ID.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I'm proud of you because you have to have it by
May of this year to be able togo through security, or else you
have to use like your passport,like you have to have a real ID
.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I'm crossing over to Canada before then.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
But that'll be America by then.
So I don't know what you'regoing to do it might be America.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, I'm going to go down to the Gulf of America
sometime this summer and see theGulf of America ocean.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, do it Before.
I run away to Canada.
I went up to is itGoodlettsville, is it
Hendersonville?
Somewhere like really far, farnorth of Nashville?
Um, and I went to that locationto get my real ID done and I
had to make an appointment and Ihad to make it like two months
in advance.
But it was awesome because Iwalked in and there was like
(31:23):
10,000 people in line andeverybody looked pissed off and
the whole room smelled likecigarettes.
You know how like anygovernment place is like, you
know, and um, and I was like, ohmy God, there's no way I'm
going to stand in this line,especially cause I booked an
appointment and I'm way back atthe end of the line and the lady
way up front goes is thereanybody here that booked an
(31:45):
appointment?
And I was like me, me, and I gotto break the whole line I got
to literally yeah, I got to goto the front of the line and I
was approved for my real ID inless than 10 minutes.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Great work.
What did you need to bring forthose listening in Nashville?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
You need to bring 17 forms of identification.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
See, that's why I don't do these things.
I would rather leave thecountry than find my social
security card.
Just get a new card.
I'm just going to create a newidentity and start over, well,
your social security is notworth anything.
I even have a file folder forit, but it's not in there Like
where is it it's got to be inthere?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's not Somebody stole Like, where is it it's
gotta be in there?
It's not Somebody stole it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I need to blame someone.
It's never in there.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I needed to get that out.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Oh, it's fun to laugh .
So in reality you need to takeyour social security card and or
a passport nine bills that arecurrent, bills that are, yes,
that have your name and youraddress.
It's like you have to bringyour electric bill or your gas
bill.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
You have to bring your fingerprints, yeah, and it
can't be a digital bill.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You have to give your DNA.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, you have to give your DNA.
Yeah, who's got paper bills?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
these days.
Right, exactly, I'm likeeverything's on my phone.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
So stupid oh boy.
Speaker 2 (33:22):

quirks of being human.
Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Cat, Hi Sarah, Hi everyone.
I didn't actually say that toyou, even though we've been
hanging out for the last fiveminutes.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hi, sarah.
Well, I didn't give you much ofa choice either.
Why, what do you mean?
Well, because I immediately waswhen you were like I might have

I was like I got because youhave your own podcast.
Well, I do, but that's not why.
Yeah, I'm really proud of you,sarah.
Like, congratulations on umsequestered.
(00:45):
I know we talked about thislast week too, but I just am
really proud of you and I thinkthe marketing that you guys have
done um for your podcast aboutyour experience as a juror
number 11, um.
I've really been impressed withyou guys, thank you.
Thanks, kat, yeah, welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Moose is killing it in the marketing world and all
of the social media things thatI absolutely hate doing, but I'm
doing my best.
She actually was as amazing.
I just have to brag on her fora minute because she's taken all
of these skills that she's usedin her music industry job over
(01:21):
the last 20 plus years and she'sjust supplying them to this
podcast and going let's justwrite a press release and send
it out.
And I'm like what, how do youjust write that and where do you
send it out to?
Where do you just put a pressrelease to?
And she found like 80 emailsand it was more than that.
But yeah, but like justcustomized each press release
(01:43):
for each County she was sendingit to, or at each you know,
whether it was to the newschannels or podcast people, or
I've had three interviews, allthis attention and excitement
around it and it just it's fun.
(02:05):
It's cool to see, um, justsomething that we just were like
we have to do something about,like act on this now and just
see it turn into something youknow, or just already getting a
buzz.
I guess we don't know if it'sturned into anything yet, but
it's fun to feel the buzz aroundit.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm super, super impressed, and I was out
on the road this past week withone of our clients and a
particular band member of thisclient came up to me and she was
like so have you watched theinterview that Sarah did?
And I was like no, I haven'twatched it yet because I've been
working all day and she waslike, oh my God, it's so good,
(02:43):
it's so professional.
I'm like you are aninternational sensation.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes, dignitary Sarah.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What I think is cool is that, uh, sarah has just like
stepped up to the plate, likeif, if the roles were reversed
and I was the one, I would notwant to do all of these
interviews and things like that,and she's just like sure, I'm
just sharing my experience.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's not that it's more, it's not as oh sure.
Um, I've definitely had somehesitation cause I don't like
being seen in that light, youknow, just on camera.
But it's fine, it's good and ithas been fine and fun and I
feel really like excited to meetthese people.
And, anyway, that's not thepodcast we're on today.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well, I was going to ask once we started talking
about our podcast, I was goingto ask, you know, it seems like
just about every week we saysomething like we're a science
podcast or we're a psychologypodcast or we're a whatever, and
I was wondering this week if Icould have a moment of our
podcast that could be a prayerrequest podcast and a praise
(03:51):
report podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, I love that.
Oh, we've got plenty oflisteners with religious trauma
that would really appreciatethose two phrases.
So, yeah, bring it on.
Yeah, good, awesome, what isyour prayer?
Tell me what we need to prayabout for.
Is this an unspoken prayerrequest or a spoken one?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah Well.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I have two.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I have two the unspoken prayer request is what
do I do with the question thatyou asked last week about?
What are you afraid to tell thetruth about?
Yes, I haven't been able tofind anybody to tell my answer
to Well.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
can you tell us?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Are you looking?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
No Like.
Are you looking for?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
people I am making a prayer request.
Who can I possibly tell myinnermost and most authentic,
most heinous truth to?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean, you've got us two plus at least a thousand
other people listening, I meanthe difference between you and I
is I would never put out thatplea because I don't want people
to know.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Same, but you aren't willing to share that publicly.
Is what I'm gathering?
No, absolutely not like.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Absolutely not and in neither, I would imagine, are
either of you right?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
no, I doubt it.
Are we allowed to ask anyleading questions?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
oh sure, yeah of course, just kidding, I wouldn't
want that and now I haveleading questions.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
uh, can I'm just gonna ask one.
The thing you don't want totell the truth about it is the
reason why you need somebody totell it to for the witnessing of
it.
Is that where that feels liketo you, like just?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
to have them witness it with you.
Yeah, I need, I need, I needfor it.
I think that that would thebest word I can come up with is
disarm.
Oh yeah, the truth, I like that.
Okay, you know, it's like if Ican just say it out loud and
just be witnessed and be heard,then it'll probably like totally
dissipate.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, like it probably won't be that that big of a
deal.
It's like the power of it goesaway.
Yes, that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's like the power of it goes away.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, what if we say it and then just beep it out?
No, I don't trust you on this.
We can't have record of it.
Is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, I'm not saying we can't have record of it.
I'm saying I don't trust youwith record of it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is it illegal?
Yeah, is it illegal.
Is it something?
We know about you.
Yeah, I doubt it oh.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know.
Oh okay, uh okay.
Enough leading questions ontomy praise report.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Praise report.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, that was my first prayer request.
My second prayer request, um,is that, um, I and my second
prayer request is that and itsounds very similar and it's not
regarding the same thing I amdealing with a handful of
situations in my life, like work, personal life, school job,
like my whole being, where Ireally need a lot of discernment
(06:58):
.
And so we had I gave a bigspeech a few podcasts ago about
angels, unemployed angels andthem just sitting around needing
work, and I really just coulduse some discernment.
Angels, okay, I just need somediscernment because I have a lot
(07:19):
of things that feel very likeon the line.
It's like, well, I could dothis or I could do that, and I
don't think it's one of thosethings where I don't think
either way.
In any of these decisions that Ihave to make, I don't think
there's a right or wrong, Ithink there's a good and I think
there's a best, you know.
And so, like I really amneeding discernment, like, do I
just go with good or do I gowith best?
Like what?
Like what do I do?
And so those are my two prayerrequests.
(07:41):
So, for all of you religiouslytraumatized, if you want to jump
back into how your body feltwhen you were religiously
traumatized and offer me someprayers.
That'd be really nice.
And then, while you're in thatstate, maybe I can do something
(08:04):
that would not traumatize youand offer you a praise report,
in that I have had my secondprolo therapy session with my
right foot and today, as we arerecording right now, I have zero
pain in my foot.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Holy smokes On your second treatment.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That is incredible, yeah, and they said that I might
not really notice significantimpact until a fourth or fifth
treatment, so the fact that I'mon treatment too.
I had my first one in lateNovember and then I had my
second one last week.
And as I was walking around myhouse today I was like why am I
so weird?
Like everything in my body isweird.
(08:43):
Why is it weird.
So I kind of did like a bodyscan and I was like I'm not in
pain.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'm not in pain right now.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's incredible, kat, and I don't know if it's
going to last a day.
I don't know if it's going tolast an hour, I don't know if
it's going to last a lifetime,but this is my shout out for woo
, woo, regenerative PRPprolotherapy.
Woo, woo, regenerative PRPprolotherapy.
I'm for it, I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What a praise, praise the Lord.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Raise your hands to the Lord.
Is that the song?
Hey, do you remember the lasttime?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
you didn't have pain in that foot.
I thought you were going to asksomething else.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was January of 2020.
Wow, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Five years years.
I thought you're gonna say doyou remember the last time you
raised your hand in praise?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
and I would like you to answer that oh, it was just
the two nights ago in washingtondc.
I could not help myself likegood for you good for you a
concert with one of our clients,and he was singing a song that
I have heard him sing 8,000times.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I literally was like yeah, they went up.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, just this one went up.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like I was so excited .
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, just my right hand.
Partial praise.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I had our friend Teresa, who recently passed away
.
I would always tease herbecause whenever I would say
that she was dangerous to standnext to in church, because she
would put a hand up like this,but then she'd start circling
with it and so her eyes wouldalways be shut.
So you would get the claw atsome point during the worship
(10:18):
service yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And did that somehow bless you?
I'm sure it did in some way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah, yeah,yeah.
I love washing over it, justwashed right over me won't he do
it okay.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
so I looked up the word discernment and, uh, cat,
here is what it says it is Okay.
And it says the ability tojudge.
Well, and then it says here'san example an astonishing lack
of discernment is how it'sdescribed.
And then, in Christian contextswhich I think you might have
(10:58):
brought along, it saysperception in the absence of
judgment, with the view toobtaining spiritual guidance and
understanding.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
That is what I'm talking about Perception in the
absence of judgment, with a viewto obtaining spiritual guidance
and understanding.
And then an example in asentence would be without
providing for a time of healingand discernment, there will be
no hope of living through thispresent moment without a
(11:31):
shattering of our common life.
That's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Who talks like that?
Nobody even knows what thatmeans.
Like that's, yeah, that's likeThomas Merton stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Hey, I love Thomas Merton.
No, me too.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It takes about 10 years to understand what he's
saying.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, it love me some Thomas Burton stuff.
No, me too.
It takes about 10 years tounderstand what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, it's like reading Richard Rohr.
You know, it's like wait, wait,wait, what?
Like?
I read a Mary Oliver poem onFacebook the other day and of
course I thought of you becauseI know how much you love her
work, Moose and I read it likesix times and I was like I think
maybe I'm understanding thefirst line, like after six times
.
Yeah, you gotta be in the.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You gotta be in the right head space to sit there
and take it in.
Um, yeah, so wait.
The reason I'm bringing this upis I think it's curious to me
that you need outsideconfirmation on something.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, it's curious to me too, If I could rid myself
of whatever that is.
I think, I would achieveenlightenment, like I would
become enlightened right in thatmoment, when I did not need
some sort of outside influenceor opinion or something.
And I really loved actuallythat definition that you read,
(12:50):
the one that was in theChristian context, because it
said without judgment, yeah,Perception and the absence of
judgment.
Yeah, it's like just perceivingwhat is not what I perceive is,
but what actually?
Is you know, it's very, it'sactually very Taoist, I agree.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I agree, it is very Thomas Merton.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So do you know what the right thing to do is?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't.
I mean, if I did, I would notbe spending 20 minutes of all of
our precious time talking aboutit Well, I'm enjoying these 20
minutes, me too.
Yeah, I'm liking it, yeah, I'mdigging it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'm going to ask you again Do you kind of know what
to do?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, do I kind of know .
I kind of know.
Okay, yeah, kind of know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
But I don't know what would it take for you to know.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
An outside person.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
If an outside person is not an option.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There is not an option.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So the only other person besides an outside person
would be God themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, for God to tell me, okay so another, another
prayer report is that the lorddrops wisdom and knowledge into
your soul and well, and beingyes, yes, yes, yes, now you said
, moose, that you had a topicthat is going to completely like
send us off into outer space,like space, yeah it sure is okay
(14:23):
.
I want to talk about somethingthat popped in my mind a couple
weeks ago, and maybe we need awhole spin-off of a podcast.
That's just this, but what thehell happened in the 80s is what
I would like to call it oh Imean where to begin I know I
mean some of the best music everagreed I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, were any of you in a car seat?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
no in the 80s, no nope no, none of us were in a
car seat.
That's what I'm saying.
There was slinkies, no carseats.
Like our parents had no ideawhere we were, my mom would
always say, go play in trafficand I just had to be home when
it got dark.
Yeah, lots of crap happened inthe eighties that nobody really
(15:07):
talks about.
So I would like to talk aboutsomething that happened to me in
the eighties.
Oh, okay, okay, I was born in1978, by the way, so I wasn't
you know, I was like, uh, so Iwasn't you know.
I was like what is that called Atween in the 80s?
Yeah, sure, I was also atoddler, because it's a decade
long.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You were two years old.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
No but this happened later in the 80s.
Here's my point, that is not atween.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Here's my point.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Parents are divorced.
All I want in my life is to beable to self-soothe by sucking
my thumb.
That's really all I want.
These two humans I know it'stheir first time through the
world as well, but they really.
They caused some trauma in mylife by breaking up and all that
(15:56):
, whatever, and so all I want isa thumb.
I'm not asking for much more,just to suck my thumb, yeah, and
so I remember being at my dad'shouse during the summer, and he
was.
I don't know if my mom taskedhim with it or what, but he was
bound and determined that I wasgoing to quit sucking my thumb,
and he put hot sauce on my thumb.
(16:17):
Like doesn't that just soundlike something that would happen
in the 80s.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yes, terrible Tabasco , that's what I got, you got it
too, tabasco sauce.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, and see, I don't think that.
I don't really think I had athumb sucking problem when I was
teething and I blame my motherfor how much I like to drink
still.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
When I was teething, my mom would rub whiskey on my
gum.
I know that's what they did.
Yeah, that was also just fine.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Oh, it was totally fine, and chances are I was
happier than any baby in thismodern day.
Like who has, like, you knowwhat's it called?
Like the lidocaine stuff thatyou put?
You know it's like no, just usewhiskey, like that's brilliant.
Yeah, you know it's like no,just use whiskey, like that's
brilliant, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I know, I think the people who are raising kids in
the eighties.
They just had alcohol aroundand it was.
It was like cat.
It was just categorized asmedicine at that point.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So they were like what do we use to feel better
Whiskey?
Let me put a little on myfinger.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Give it to the kid, yeah, yeah.
So your dad put hot sauce onyour thumb and did that rid you
of your thumb sucking habit?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I mean, I don't think so.
I really don't, because I thinkI ended up sucking my thumb
till I was like 12, which got meto 1990, for the record.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But good job, thank you, but that's self-soothing at
its finest.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I was just thinking about shit that happened in the
eighties and I was wondering doyou guys remember um, when
cyanide was found inside ofTylenol?
Oh, it was a big deal, likeit's a big yeah.
Yeah, it was like uh, I thinkit was even considered like
national terrorism or something,but like I remember the phrase
(18:09):
um ended all with Tylenol.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wow, yeah, I vaguely remember that Like now that you
said it I can go.
Yes, I remember that happening,but like I couldn't tell you
that would not be in my top 100list of things that I remember
from the 80s you know, but Ifeel, like I do remember that.
And then, when did arsenichappen?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
when people were sending arsenic, it felt like in
the 80s or 90s for sure, yeah,yeah, yeah they just started, or
ricin, they would send like,yeah, like they would send
letters to the Capitol orwhatever, and yeah, that was a
weird thing.
And then the 80s also had a lotof 1-900 numbers, which are so
bizarre now.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We've definitely talked about that before we have
.
Yeah, we have definitely talkedabout that before and I think
we determined that all of ushave one 900 voices if we try.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, we totally could.
And then of course in theeighties I sure loved I would go
to the grocery store with mymom.
It was the thrift way and therewas a whole aisle of of tapes,
like in the grocery store.
It carried, it carried all likethe latest releases.
(19:24):
Do you guys remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
yeah, yeah, I totally remember that, because I was
obsessed with that section ofwhatever store I was in, like my
mom, if she ever couldn't findme, that's where I would be.
It's like yep and then then itmight've been a little bit after
the eighties, but I rememberbeing in a store called James
way.
Do you remember James way?
No, it was kind of like atarget, like a like a Walmart
(19:48):
type thing.
Um, and I remember that iswhere I bought the debut album
from Wilson Phillips.
Oh man, and, and it was in oneof those like cd boxes that was
like 12 inches high, that the cdwas in the bottom, but the
whole thing was like the artworkand the credits and all of that
.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Are you sure it was a cd?
Yes, it was.
It was okay.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, it was, but it was like a new thing, like it
was like we're in the sectionwhere all the tapes were like
what you're talking about andthen there was this little bitty
section of this new cd thing,totally yeah, they were still
trying to convert people overyeah, man guys, that doesn't
feel like it was that long ago Iknow, and yet it feels like a
(20:31):
lifetime ago as welland now we carry small computers
in our hands and pockets at alltimes, right yeah, it's crazy
that have thousands andthousands of songs, thousands of
songs, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It's nuts.
And then, um, you know, therewas the big HIV AIDS scare.
I feel like and I it'sinteresting because I recently
saw it was an ad for adocumentary about that timeframe
and you know but then the moviePhiladelphia came out.
(21:06):
I think that came out in the 90sbut a pandemic with covet 19,
but like that was an epidemic ofits own, that sort of struck
(21:32):
during our lifetime that I'venever really gone back and gone
like how did that affect?
I mean I've seen a lot of, likeI said, movies about it and
things like that.
But yeah, okay, so I looked upon reddit tell me what everyone
remembers of the 80s and I meanjust so many great things came
up.
Definitely people talked aboutstranger danger where you know
(21:56):
everyone was getting kidnapped,and then the satanic panic.
Do you remember that?
No, any time somebody would getlike found, murdered or
whatever.
It was constantly blamed onpeople being in cults oh gosh
which is insane, yeah.
And then this person wrote therewas cocaine everywhere.
We were buying each other gramsfor birthday presents when we
(22:18):
were 16 oh my gosh, oh my god mygod also, we got into bars at
15 and 16.
if you were born 1966, it waseasy to doctor your license and
give the six an O.
We lived in a city where weedwas pretty much decriminalized.
Anything under an ounce was $25fine.
Oh my gosh, my first year ofhigh school the seniors had
(22:42):
their own lounge where we wouldsmoke cigarettes which is insane
to think about that.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What I do remember that in school I remember there
was smoking court.
Yeah, there was smoking court.
Like when I was in middleschool there was smoking court.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That can't be real.
We had like a corner, buteveryone knew that's where you
go.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh my gosh, you guys.
I mean, there are probablystill ashtrays in the airplanes,
don't?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
you think?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, they still are.
Well, what are you flying?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Spirit airlines.
We go into any bathroom,there's still a little ashtray
that pops out and it says nosmoking and it's like, well, why
is that even here?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, what's so funny is that there was a smoking
section and a non-smokingsection.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yes, god, what difference does that make?
Same with restaurants.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
My sister and I were talking last week about how we
flew a couple of times from theUnited States to New Delhi,
india, when my dad was stationedin New Delhi, the United States
to New Delhi, india, when mydad was stationed in New Delhi,
and she was talking the otherday about the smoking section on
Lufthansa Airlines, and we werelike, yeah, like that was
completely normal, completelynormal.
And then, like just in one week, this week, we've had more
(24:01):
aviation crashes in the United.
States and it's like let peoplesmoke again.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Give them whatever substances they are wanting.
I mean, you just flew into DCAlike days after that happened,
right, I did.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I did, yeah, yeah, it was very weird and I didn't
even realize this.
It gave me so much compassionfor my mom and really it helped
me remember that people careabout me.
But my mom said when I landedin Nashville I always text my
mom and my sister when I land.
It's just a thing that we do.
I'm like landed safe inNashville, like I've made it
(24:38):
through one more tin can tripthrough the air, you know.
And and so my mom said back tome and she was like I'm so
grateful for prayers answered,especially after last week's
tragedy, and I was like what?
And it really made me think Iwas like my mom.
My mom was praying that I wouldbe okay which she does anyway,
(25:00):
you know but it's like havinghaving even more of a concern
for me because of what happenedto that plane that was flying
into Reagan national airport andthat is where was flying into
Reagan National Airport and thatis where I flew in and out of
and clearly I'm fine, I'm stillhere, it was all okay.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I'm so glad I texted you and asked if you were
nervous about that.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I wasn't, and I said this to my mom too.
I said how I just have a reallystrong belief, and I think what
that could be translated intois denial.
I think it's just didn'tcomplete denial that like,
because otherwise I would be tooanxious to fly you know, what I
mean.
If I didn't just live in denial, I'd be like, oh shit, I'm not
flying into reagan like you'recrazy.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, especially after they showed all of the um
airstrips and they're like oh if, if you miss this, you're
basically slamming intohelicopters in the corridor.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, exactly or right into the Pentagon, you
know, no problem.
Ok, I have a question for youguys like talking about flying
and all of that, all of that.
I experienced in my most recenttrip, several things happening
over the intercom, either on theplane or at the airport, of
(26:15):
someone saying something likeMrs So-and-so, if you have left
your phone on the airplane atgate G4, please report to the
missing items.
You yeah baggage thing orwhatever.
And it seemed like an excessiveamount of messages about people
leaving their shit, either likeat security or on the plane or
(26:39):
whatever it is, and it made merecollect the times that I have
left something and what a dramafest it was to get my stuff back
.
And so it made me wanted to askyou guys like have you guys ever
left anything on a plane and ifso, what was your experience
like man?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
my, uh, probably most memorable one and most recent
one, I want to say it was eitherlast year or the year before.
Um, I left my laptop in theback pocket of the seat in front
of me.
And we had already gotten to ournext gate and they were about
to board and I realized it and Ihad to run back.
(27:19):
I mean it was one of those oneswhere you have to like take a
shuttle to the other like sideof the world to get to that
other corridor or whatever.
And I mean I was sweating sobad and I was just running as
fast as I could.
I got it.
I actually made the flight LikeI couldn't believe it.
It was like right before thedoors were closing, but I was so
stressed and just hot, you knowwhich makes you more stressed.
(27:44):
Yes, yes, stressed and angry forme Awful.
What about you?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I uh, I can't.
I know I've left like an iPadon before, um, but the story I
remember is I was with an artistwho left their bag like outside
the bathroom or something andby the time he got back to it
there was like police and dogssniffing it and all of this
(28:11):
stuff.
I don't know if it was an extrabag and he forgot he had it or
what it was, but it was a wholesituation where they were
believing it might be somethingmore than a bag.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, and somebody listened when they say if you
see something, say something.
Well, sarah, I too left mylaptop on a plane.
Oh no, and I didn't realize ituntil I had landed, like.
So I left it on the plane.
I landed at my destination, theplane went wherever it was
(28:43):
going and then, when I got liketo my hotel or something, I was
like, oh my God, I left mylaptop on the plane and I
remember I had to call like 50numbers, I had to talk to like
50 different people, and somehowmy laptop made it back to
Nashville, um, to like thebaggage desk area or whatever,
(29:05):
and the person who gave me mylaptop back, they said we want
you to open it and we want youto log in to prove that it's
yours.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Like we want you to like enter your password.
Which my password at the timewas fantastical it was the name
Jesus.
I'm like anybody can guess thatpassword.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I remember most of your passwords were that or
Jesus won, yeah, yeah, exactly,not like won the war, but won
the number Just right.
Yeah, jesus is my number one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It reminds me of one of the radio stations we work
with in your hometown, MooseWAKW, pointing the way to the
one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I don't know if they use that anymore, but it was
always a finger pointing up ontheir ads, pointing the way to
the one, and the one is up highin the sky, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, pointing the way to the one.
So, as far as traveling, you'reabout to travel today, moose

May of this year to be able togo through security, or else you
have to use like your passport,like you have to have a real ID
.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I'm crossing over to Canada before then.

But that'll be America by then.
So I don't know what you'regoing to do it might be America.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, I'm going to go down to the Gulf of America
sometime this summer and see theGulf of America ocean.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, do it Before.
I run away to Canada.
I went up to is itGoodlettsville, is it
Hendersonville?
Somewhere like really far, farnorth of Nashville?
Um, and I went to that locationto get my real ID done and I
had to make an appointment and Ihad to make it like two months
in advance.
But it was awesome because Iwalked in and there was like
(31:23):
10,000 people in line andeverybody looked pissed off and
the whole room smelled likecigarettes.
You know how like anygovernment place is like, you
know, and um, and I was like, ohmy God, there's no way I'm
going to stand in this line,especially cause I booked an
appointment and I'm way back atthe end of the line and the lady
way up front goes is thereanybody here that booked an
(31:45):
appointment?
And I was like me, me, and I gotto break the whole line I got
to literally yeah, I got to goto the front of the line and I
was approved for my real ID inless than 10 minutes.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Great work.
What did you need to bring forthose listening in Nashville?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
You need to bring 17 forms of identification.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
See, that's why I don't do these things.
I would rather leave thecountry than find my social
security card.
Just get a new card.
I'm just going to create a newidentity and start over, well,
your social security is notworth anything.
I even have a file folder forit, but it's not in there Like
where is it it's got to be inthere?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's not Somebody stole Like, where is it it's
gotta be in there?
It's not Somebody stole it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I need to blame someone.
It's never in there.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I needed to get that out.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Oh, it's fun to laugh .
So in reality you need to takeyour social security card and or
a passport nine bills that arecurrent, bills that are, yes,
that have your name and youraddress.
It's like you have to bringyour electric bill or your gas
bill.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
You have to bring your fingerprints, yeah, and it
can't be a digital bill.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You have to give your DNA.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, you have to give your DNA.
Yeah, who's got paper bills?
