Noah and Common Sense Gurl explore the concept of shedding old habits and patterns to make way for renewal and growth, while sharing personal challenges and insights about transformation. The conversation weaves between profound wisdom and lighthearted banter, touching on migraines, self-improvement, and the frustration of encountering people who resist personal growth.
• Reading from "The Book of Awakening" by Mark Nepo on renewal through shedding old ways of thinking and being
• Discussion about the necessity of shedding versus "killing" older versions of ourselves
• Exploration of why some people actively avoid self-discovery and improvement
• Critique of social media's negative impact and how it functions as a modern "colosseum" for attention
• Updates on personal financial challenges and strategies for saving
• Sharing of ultimate birthday dinner menus, from calamari to carne asada
• Stoic wisdom on having a plan to avoid "cowardly retreat" and make purposeful efforts

A whole lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And a whole lot of laughter.
I am Common Sense Girl.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And I'm Noah.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And if this is your first time joining us, welcome
to the fun.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, the calculated madness, the rambunctious?
No, no, yeah, we're not goingto start trying to the
rambunctious, calculatedrambunctiousness through mental
elasticity.
No, I know, that's my Spotifyprofile you literally just
(00:45):
dropped off right I know I justheard four words.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I had no idea were words and now I'm gone, let me
google this, okay like okay, howare you doing good?
How you?
It's been a whole well week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, two, two.
I think it was probably two.
Yeah, life just comes at youfast, ferris Bueller, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, I don't know if life came at me fast or I just,
you know, it's just chill.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I came at life, or wait.
Came on life, no, or wait cameon like no, where that's just
bad all around.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, yeah, let's workshop that one, but I see
where your vision was going,though I just don't know how we
can work.
We got to work on that.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's getting there.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's getting there.
Yeah, I see the vision.
Ooh, yeah, so how was your week?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It was good this week kind of kicked me in the ass.
Um, it's more of like justcalculate, like trying my
figuring out my own mind.
We were talking about patternsearlier at therapy and just like
trying to which for the newlisteners.
(01:59):
Therapy is the conversation meand Anna have before we get on
the mic, the conversation me andAnna have before we get on the
mic.
So just like the patterns andthe pitfalls of patterns and how
, just the ones that I have thatare like not pleasant for my
mind or just not productive forlike a beneficial situation.
(02:27):
So I'm just trying to getthrough that and this week has
been that's kind of veered itsugly head and I'm usually
somebody that like buries myhead in the sand and ignores it,
but it has not been easy toignore this week.
So, if that makes sense, she'sputting on lip gloss because
(02:51):
apparently what I was saying wasnot.
No, I'm oiling my ashy hands.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Because, unlike your non-melanated self, I have to
oil my ashy everything.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
That can get away with no oil.
I cannot.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I have oily Hair.
Yeah, let's go.
Hair, let's go with that, let'sdo that.
Yeah, jamie is a part of thepodcast this week.
Everybody yeah, we need to hire.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Jamie again.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Duck, duck.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Jamie is like the most higher fire person we've
ever met.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They were standing outside.
It was like a help wanted signfor, like one day they were
doing the spinning outside.
There was nothing after that.
It was one day.
It was one day we drove by, wewere, we were like, yeah, just
get in.
Welcome back to the shit show,the circus get in uh we'll work
(03:58):
for less well, I was talkingabout my week.
How was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
my week as overall was super busy.
Last week was busy too, and nowI have like a constant migraine
, so yeah, A constant.
Yeah, I've had it for threedays.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So, like your week was essentially boiled down to
Busy as hell.
And migraine.
Now I have a migraine.
There's no footnotes in that.
Like I went on like a long twominute, three minute thing, and
then now it's just yeah, my headhurts you know, at work we have
our little events and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So I mean, that's always like hectic and I'm
normally like the one who islike going from store to store
and you know, going everywhereand doing that kind of stuff,
and then so that's, that'spretty normal, like to be that
busy.
Yeah, when it's an event, soit's not a big deal, but the
headache on top no, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
I as a kid, my, my sisters like, used to get like the really
bad ones where she had to takethe preventative pill before the
migraine hit.
And I just think, geneticallyin our family we have migraines,
because I was at work last weekand I know when it's about to
(05:18):
happen because my eyes getblurry.
Does that happen with you?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, my left eye is blurry, it has pain behind it.
I can't touch my hair.
So, like I told noah when Icame into his house although he
was like oh, you look great.
Like yeah, I haven't done thishair in like a few days.
Um, just throw this headband onthere because I can't touch my
hair, my face hurts and my backhurts.
And like I was telling jamieaka ducky that I looked up I
(05:48):
looked up these differentmigraines and I diagnosed myself
.
Is this true?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
you, hypochondriac you right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'm like this is what I have and she's like, yeah,
her biggest thing is how manypills have you taken a day?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.
Quite a bit and it's nothelping Yo like when I lived
with my dad, it was the samething.
Like he would literally take ahandful of like supplements,
like vitamin C, all his stuff,not eat and then be like, oh,
I'm about to throw up and I'mlike, dude, yeah, because you
just put all these capsules onan empty stomach.
(06:25):
Maybe drink some water, likemaybe, maybe, like that's not
the hell, like the, the, theequation to a healthy lifestyle.
Like, yeah, the supplement,sure, but maybe put some food on
it, right?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
it all has to balance .
Yeah, so I um, I've done prettygood today.
I think I've only taken four,because I've taken two when I
came to the studio and then twoearlier, and none of it's
working though, so I'm probablygoing to just be done for the
night.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, so I need to be more quiet and chill.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, you can still be yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No it was funny because when you got here on the
couch like I was playing musicand just being all loud and then
I was like remembered that shehad told me on the phone before
she got to the studio, I waslike wait, she has a migraine
and I was like I'm so sorry andI just made a call, like I said,
just quiet at least you're niceabout it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
At least you're nice, because no one in my house I
don't think anyone's taking meserious.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wait until they get migraines.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I wouldn't wish a migraine on my worst enemy.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, they're pretty bad.
Yeah, my little ratchetfive-year-old was just like
yelling at me and I'm like whyare you yelling at me?
And she's like you know, I'mjust loud.
She's like I'm Yamika LeRaeBecause that's her ghetto name,
and I'm just like girl, I needyou to stop.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I need Yemi to come up with a ghetto name for me.
Is there potential for that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, my little Wiga friend.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We were watching the game before?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, we were.
It is March Madness, so it'sbeen very fun for me being a
basketball person.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He's like that's a wig.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I was like you can just tell as a former one you
can just tell.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He's reformed.
I'm reformed, that's whattherapy sessions are all about.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I found my own style.
I do not identify as Literally.
Oh my goodness, All right Annayou got something to read, I
think.
So, like I know we were justchatting it up, but we have like
a start-off point, don't we?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
At some point Noah's keeping me on track.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I know I'm impressed.
Well, you have the migraine ontrack.
That's cool.
I know well you have themigraine.
I'm just let's note this day inhistory.
I'm just here, the migraine,the migraine day exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So I will be reading today with a little um wisdom on
it.
So we're gonna put a littlewisdom on that's.
So we're going to put a littlewisdom on that's what we call
this session.
What is?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
it yeah, sex session, uh, segment Segment.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I was like I knew where you were going.
I was like this is what we callour segment.
Put a little wisdom on it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I have no blunt.
This is not a session, this isa segment.
Yeah, this is a segment of apodcast.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
But I'll be reading from the book of Awakening by
Mark Nepo, and this is titledthe Gift of Shedding.
From the beginning, the key torenewal has been the casting off
of old skin.
It is interesting that theearliest peoples believed in
something that we, in our modernhive of manufacturing, have
(09:47):
forgotten that immortality isattainable by shedding.
The Dunsons of North Borneohave believed for centuries that
when God finished creating theworld, he announced that whoever
is able to cast off his skinshall not die.
But what does that mean?
Not that we can live forever,but that the way to stay closest
(10:12):
to the pulse of life, the wayto stay in the presence of that
divine reality which informseverything, is to be willing to
change, still change.
What To change?
Whatever has ceased to functionwithin us, to shed whatever we
are carrying that is no longeralive, to cast off our dead skin
(10:35):
, because dead skin can't feel,dead eyes can't see, dead ears
can't hear.
And without feeling there is nochance of wholeness, and
wholeness remains our bestchance to survive the pain of
breaking.
Of course, for human beings,dead skin takes many forms, the
(10:58):
most significant of which remainintangible but suffocating.
Intangible but suffocating,such as a dead way of thinking,
a dead way of seeing, a dead wayof relating, a dead way of
believing, or a dead way ofexperiencing.
In essence, shedding opens usup to self-transformation.
(11:19):
Those of us who refuse suchrenewal will sooner or later be
forced to undergo transformationanyway as a result of being
broken or eroded by the world.
Very often, both occur at thesame time, that is, we shed from
within while being eroded fromwithout.
(11:41):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That was really good.
Can you repeat the last line?
We shed within while beingeroded from the out.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Very often both occur at the same time.
That is, we shed from withinwhile being eroded from without.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Dang, I love that.
It's so weird that, like wereally don't plan this and we
just flip to the day, but I, Iwas having a conversation with
someone, um, about how it justlife as I'm getting older feels
like, um, I just had a bad dream.
(12:25):
You know, mine are never good.
I've talked to you about that,but it's the killing of the
older version of yourself, andthat's a prevalent one in this
phase of my life where it's acontinuous like you have to kill
(12:46):
this old version of yourselfand it's like that, essentially,
is what that's boiled down to,is it's like, okay, you're
shedding that version ofyourself.
Shedding is a better word thankilling, but I, I agree that, um
, that that's uh, I do feel likethat's a hard thing to do.
(13:08):
Part of what, what did youthink about it?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
before I get into my next little segue of thought, so
for me, the word shedding is agreat, not killing, and and I
say that because, think about it, when animals shed their skin,
it's like it gives.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's like a rebirth.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, and so for humans, for us, when I think of
shedding, it's like sheddingsome of those old habits.
Yeah, so that we can grow to bewho we're supposed to be, what
God wants us to be Exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
So, because think about our shedding is like
necessary and I think that tiesin like my segue of thought,
where it's we've been on thislike journey together of like
self-discovery and really tryingto tap into being the best
versions of ourselves.
Yeah, um, and I think part ofthe reason my week kind of
(14:06):
kicked me in the ass is it'slike really delving into my mind
and seeing and trying to likepinpoint stuff that like is ugly
to me and trying to address it.
Somebody said something reallyprevalent, where people don't
(14:27):
just do that Like people, somepeople like choose actively to
ignore getting to knowthemselves.
And that to me, when that like Iwas just waking up and thinking
oh everybody every day iswaking up and trying to be the
(14:49):
best version of themselves, andif they're not being the best
version of themselves, thenthey're trying to pinpoint
monotonous and mundane, and thatis something that, yeah, and
(15:14):
it's not dangerous, because youalways try to leave that door
open for them of self-growth andimprovement and X Y, z, but
it's like geez.
I like the insufferableness ofpeople.
This week I think that veeredits ugly head where it's like I
(15:36):
thought people cared about beingbetter.
I really Now not to writeeverybody off into the same
category.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They just don't want to do the work.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Or they just ignore it because they don't want to do
the work.
The work is daunting.
So like I get that, I get that.
But to somebody who isattempting to do the work, even
Kaizen, that 1% better it's like.
Even that attempt to beconfronted with people that
ignore it is just, is it more?
(16:11):
I think it's draining on like ahuman level, and maybe not even
just a human level but aspiritual level too, for that
person's soul.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, but snake shed, I don't know.
I was trying to bring it backTo something Less on the
ethereal plane.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Snake shed.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But scales, scales.
Why does it feel wet?
And it's not wet, it's a scale.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh, my skittles.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
No, but my week's been really good, it's been a
good week.
I am serious, it's like me andAnna were driving over to pick
up our duck.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Our duck, our duck.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's actually pretty awesome.
Our Jamie is a duck, no, butthen we were just talking about
how, like, what did I say?
I said I missed you, and thenyou said something smart.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I don't know, is it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
She talks so much I do In the car.
It's just like, is there an offbutton to this thing?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
There's not, there's not.
I probably said yeah, I missyou too or something, or I miss
me too.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
No, you said I miss you too, and then I think you
went into this long.
No, you said see, is this whatcodependency is?
And I said to you I said nope,I don't think like if I go to my
psychiatrist and I say I missthem, they're going to like
automatically prescribe me withlike something to make me miss
(17:56):
them less.
I don't think that's how thatworks.
I don't think you get a medicaldegree by like missing
something and then being likeokay, yeah, that's not that.
That's not codependency.
Well, actually, maybe now,that's that is how it works.
Covid, covid, covid fucked up alot of shit.
(18:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Don't give the internet no extra help.
Someone's already thought ofthat somebody's already thought
everything because they ain'tgot nothing else.
Better, no, nothing better todo.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
They're 90 pounds, soaking wet and just coming up
with shit no reason.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
If you could rename yourself, what would your name
be?
Um I know that's so randomjebediah gutenberg not jebediah.
You went way deep, jebediah nowait.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Do we want a serious answer?
I actually not.
I would not want to renamemyself.
I love my name.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I love my name, Not because it has well, my middle
name kind of has a lot ofsignificance.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Do you want to like pronounce your whole name, or is
that still not?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Oh, no, I can pronounce my whole name.
Let me tell you Cause.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I've always just said , anna, but it's Ananisha
Stellarar Laverne Ross Moreno.

Xavier Mace.
Speaker 1 (19:35):

being that you do, you rememberbeing the kid in school and it's
like they would like announceyour name and you'd be like, oh,
I'm so different.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No, bro, they didn't announce my name.
They just looked at it and Ijust knew it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Not on like check, like you had to put your hand up
to see if you were attendance.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
They couldn't pronounce it, so they would look
, oh, and I'd be like that's me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, I already knew.
See, that was special in and ofitself.
I bet that's why you have thatcomplex.
I bet I do.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
You know the doctor's office to this day.

great, but I like that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I on my driver's license and social security card
.
My entire name is on it.
They fit all 900 letters.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I love that about my license.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I was just like, yes, put all that on there, just
throw it all on there and I uselike I've never heard.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I've always just like anna, like even in my phone.
You're anna and like to likehear you say it.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Say it one more time ananisha stellar, laverne, ross,

So it's Ross Moreno, yes, andso does Stellar Laverne.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And believe it or not .
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Stellar and Laverne is great-grandma and grandmother
on both sides of my family'snames.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That's so cool.
Mine's yeah, I wouldn't changemy name.
I think I wanted to go byEmerson for a while, like I
think.
When I got to high school I waslike, okay, I want to be like
Noah's girly.
I think somebody told me that,and I think Miley Cyrus's sister
(21:33):
was like a thing at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And I was like, yeah, I don't want to be like
associated with that.
So I tried, but it never pickedup.
No, it never like became athing.
And everybody that would say no, I'd be like, yep, that's me.
And I didn't even commit to thebit, I didn't even.
I was like, yeah, no, I guessI'm just Noah.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, you're just Noah.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But I do love the history of my other names, my
family being my last name, a's,and then Emerson being my
grandfather, who RIP he'ssomewhere and then, well, I
(22:19):
think, great-grandfather.
Actually, let me talk to myfamily so I don't butcher my own
lineage name.
You don't even know where hisname came from.
I do, but I'm in a completelydifferent stratosphere because
we were talking about how youwere shedding your skin and
moistness and I don't know.
It just was a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So I don't want to butcher my own lineage right now
.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Let's not put me on the chopping block to butcher my
lineage.
Let's not do that.
I feel a lot of pressure rightnow To not butcher my own.
What in Charles Dickinson'sname?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Alright, where'd you come up with this?
Like that has nothing to dowith nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All right, Anna, what is something that seems like it
should be appealing, or what issomething that seems like it
should appeal to youspecifically, but it doesn't?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Facebook?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Don't expose your age like that.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'm the Instagram.
Anybody who sees our episodescan tell where I'm posting from.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Okay, honestly, though, what's the difference
between every one of them?
At this point, there's not one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, for me it's all swipes.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
They all figured out the dopamine algorithm.
It's all the same.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, for me, I just feel like, and maybe because I
don't have everybody and theirgrandma on my Instagram.
It's safer, I'm wrong.
Well, for me it's safer.
For me I don't see all thenegative shit.
But Facebook, I think, becausein the beginning you're just
adding people, You're like, yeah, everybody's on.
Yeah, everybody's my friend youknow Caitlyn from third grade,
(24:09):
we're friends that I see a lotof negative stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
About our podcast no not about our podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Nobody listens to us.
Our 12 fans love us and they'reall family.
But shout out to every familymember that's listening we love
you and we're thinking of youfondly from our studio kisses
but Facebook is a lot and that'sthe sucky part.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's from everybody's algorithm.
It's not even mine, because Idon't have one.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I never made one.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I I made a fake one, I think no, I have a real one,
but the stuff that's on there isnot even like stuff like from
me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
It's like it's all ai , so I'm just like I don't want
to hear about the politicalstuff?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I don't want to hear about the political stuff.
I don't want to hear about theover-religious stuff.
Who?
Cares, I don't want to hearabout whose ass cheeks was
hanging out at the Grammys.
I don't care, so it's morenegative than it is anything.
So my Instagram is tailored tomore positivity.
I follow positive people.
Positive people follow me.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's the best way to be.
Yeah, like if you're looking atyour phone.
The consuming of the negativemedia is crazy to me that that's
just become like a naturalthing.
Mm-hmm, and people are happyabout it too.
And that's why because you knowI've taken a lot of breaks and
like from just having apps whereI can, like can, view what
people are thinking, because,honestly, it gets even more
lonely than not having the appto begin with, because it's like
(25:48):
these people are so dumb thatpeople get wrapped up in this.
I just want to ask those peoplechange it.
Change it.
Then, if you're so worked up,ask those people change it.
Change it then, if you're soworked up by this thing, change
it.
Show me how you can influenceit.
(26:08):
I just think people like to beworked up for the sake of being
worked up.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, I was about to say that I'm like they like that
crap.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's like tabloids.
Remember going to the grocerystore when you were well, when I
was.
I remember going to the grocerystore when I was a kid and like
seeing.
No, but I was seeing like wehad tabloids too.
No, but I was seeing like thenewspapers and like I would grab
it and be like I want to readthis and my mom would like be
like no, none of that shit'sreal.
(26:34):
And I was like, hmm, and likenow it's basically Instagram.
Like Instagram is like the newRoman Empire's version of the
Colosseum, but instead of likefighting for lives, it's like
we're fighting for attention.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I love how you gave that analogy.
It was such a great.
You know I love analogies.
Is that a good analogy, but-hmm.
But we lost everybody that wasborn with a phone in their hand
Like they have no idea.
They're like who?
Roman Empire, what?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
is that the new age Roman Empire's version of the
Colosseum is Instagram.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I have no clue.
They were like that didn't makeany sense.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Good.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
No, it did make sense .
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Y'all need to go Old soul over here.
I got it fucking tatted on me,bitch.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
No, I'm kidding I'm like shoot.
But.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I've had a lot of people, I think.
I said somebody was checkingout at the gym and they said, um
, uh, you know how we have toask for the last names.
And he said, yeah, my last nameis Davis.
And he was older, like grayhair, and I said, oh, like Miles
, and he said that's a goodreference for your age.
(27:52):
And I was like oh, hmm.
Well, you've been calling me anold man all day you are an old
man they've always called mywhole family.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
You've been doing this old man hand talk thing,
lady cross thing.
I noticed it a few weeks agoand I was just like what is
happening?
Because I'm like agingbackwards, I'm like a child at
this point.
I told him I'm one step fromthrowing a temper tantrum.
So I'm like, and he's over herejust like honey, baby, come
(28:26):
here.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
No, can I give you a little insight about my family?
When Rachel and my dad bothlived here, they called me
Peepaw because, like how I wouldlike move and like my slippers
and my outfits.
I would like move and like myslippers and my outfits.
I would just literally be like.
So they still to this day willcall me people and they'll
mention it.
They'll be like uh-oh, people'shere and I'll like give some
(28:50):
old opinion on how those damnliberals like I don't know yeah,
yeah, he had the wholemannerism thing going.
What was the question to beginwith?
I feel like I need to answer itfor myself.
What is something you wouldlike?
Just social media in general.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I think social media, because I care less.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
That should appeal to you.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, but it really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
See, that makes it a complicated question for me,
though, because I'm relating itback to myself, because we're
over you at this point what fell?
Okay, my phone, never mind whatI should like.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And unfortunately you have to market every darn thing
through social media.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I can't put this on the billboard, no you don't.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Honestly, I't put this on the billboard no, you
don't.
Honestly, I should put it onthe billboard.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I could just run around with it painted to my
body of whatever I was trying tosell.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm trying to sell our podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Remember guerrilla marketing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
We just need to do guerrilla marketing for this.
We need to put stickers Enoughpeople know about us at this
point just in the area, theyjust don't know where to find it
that if we just printed outlike QR codes and like with the
green onions, and I would slapthem everywhere, vandalism go
crazy.
Like I will get arrested for it.
I don't care, I'll slap it oneverything.
(30:17):
I'll slap it on everything.
I'll slap it on cars.
No, I'm kidding.
If you find a green onionsticker on your vehicle, it was
not Noah Emerson, xavier man.
What is something I should likethat?
Thank you for asking, anna.
(30:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I don't know, I didn't ask he asked the question
.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well, I asked the question to you and then you
never validated me back with theresponse I did Well.
You gave me the response, butthen you didn't ask it back to
me.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Do you want to ask it back to me?
I didn't.
You know what your turn.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm so glad.
Do you want to ask?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
about it.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I didn't you know what your turn I was like is
that how we've been doing thisfor me probably EDM.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I can't stand EDM, but I feel like I should like it
why do you feel like you shouldlike it?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
see, I asked that question?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
yeah, I don't feel like I should like it.
Enough females have told methat I should like it.
See, I asked a question.
Yeah, I don't feel like Ishould like it.
Enough females have told methat I should like edm.
That at this point I'm like Ishould.
And then I listen to it and I'mlike so you're telling me
you're paying tickets to watchsomebody mash buttons on a board
that's sweaty and probablylives with his mother.
That's, that's what we're doing.
That's what we're doing, andthat's an excuse for these
(31:43):
stupid ass bitches to put fishnuts on and look like they're
Rastafarian.
That's so dumb you sound angryno, but yeah, I don't like that
because people just assume Iknow what EDM is or care.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Oh dude, I cannot.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You know how easy it would be to learn how to push a
button.
I do, I push buttons, fuckinganyway.
But I'm like I don't know howOur fucking computers at my job
are like from 1987.
Do, do, do, jesus, do, do, do,do, do, do, do, do do.
Oh, wow, he really knew how tobuild up and drop that like yeah
(32:22):
, that's all.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
EDM is wow, that, that 808 is really fucking.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's gonna change the game.
No, no, edm has ever changedthe game.
It's all been the fucking exactsame shit.
Skrillex changed the game andthen what did Skrillex do?
Not fucking Jack.
He's still the same weirdpedo-looking motherfucker.
Yeah, no, I don't like EDM.
He said oh, I don't like EDM atall.
(32:49):
I get worked up so much.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, on a different note, this might work about too.
How is the financial challengegoing for you?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
It's been a struggle.
It's been good because I'mpretty solid financially anyway.
But just having to put that inthe forefront of my life, that
has been the struggle, knowingwhich.
(33:25):
This is always how it workswith me.
Like before I figure somethingout, I'll have pitfalls on it,
but that's always my firstthought.
So like, if I spend a littletoo much money, my first
thought's been okay, I'm notdoing well at the challenge, and
that's always like my telltalesign in my own head that I'm on
the right track of trying to fixit.
So like, if it's something Ithink about currently and it's
(33:50):
not just something I try toignore or unintentionally ignore
, it's always a good thing, soit's on the right path.
I guarantee you, by the end ofthe year I'll be a trillionaire.
So I'm joking.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
If that's the case, I'm not doing the challenge
correctly.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
If that's the case, there will be no more Green
Onions podcast and I will be onan island in Bermuda and nobody
will hear from me ever.
If you make it to Bermuda, oh,not the triangle.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Right, just don't touch all three points.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
But um.
But yeah, it's, it's, uh, it'sit's been on a like, it's been
on the forefront of my mind.
Well, so for me, great.
However, on the flip side, gothusband on it, but he's sneaky.
So what I've done, I've shutoff.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Excuse me, whoa, no Is that why you're so far from
the mic.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
But no, I for him I reallocated, like his paychecks
and stuff.
So he's saving, but he doesn'tknow he's saving Because also I
cut off part of the car too, soI've been doing really well,
yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, how much are we talking about that?
He may listen to this episodeand then it be like a.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
He's behind.
My own spouse is behindlistening to us.
Maybe, because I talk to himtoo much.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Everybody I talk to is behind on listening.
My parents thought it wasThanksgiving the other day.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I was like I don't no one's over here texting me.

Speaker 3 (35:47):

that.
His parents were like yeah, I'mlike.
Speaker 2 (35:54):

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, it's in July, it's in.
Speaker 3 (36:06):

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Do we have another question?
Anna, Do you have a question?
Speaker 3 (36:11):

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I feel like we might be getting to the time cap.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
What would be on the menu for your ultimate birthday
dinner?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
What would be on the menu?
Oh, um, I love this question.
Well, not Like I've neveranswered it, but I just.
That was.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
You flashed me neither.
No, it's like I hate her.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
No, I love you In learning to cook and stuff.
I think my menus Big surprise.
I used to be super picky likeeater, like it was just chicken
I guess, as I'm sitting like theold man harping on 10 minutes
(37:00):

No, yeah, uh, I used to lovejust like chicken nuggets, very
simple food and like my sistergot me into.
Like I'm sorry, boogers, sorry.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
That deviated septum?
Um, it was.
But like in getting intocooking and like even with my
family at this point, like everybirthday or whatever, we're
always going to like a fancyrestaurant and like I love.
So if I have to sit there andthink about birthdays or like a
(37:35):
dinner, I have to sit there andthink about an appetizer.
So my appetizer would becalamari, but like with the
lemon and the Calamari is the.
I'm going to get hungry justthinking about this.
Oh, okay, it's fine.
(38:04):
Calamari, a New York shrimpmedium with like a Hennessy,
with heavy whipping cream andpepper, like a steak au poivre,
so like a very like with a gravy, and then on the like, as the
side, charred asparagus withgarlic potatoes, but like garlic
(38:31):
, like pan seared on a cast ironwith rosemary and all the stuff
and butter, and then you let itsit in the butter so that the
butter sucks up into the potatoand then, um, dessert Uh, I
probably wouldn't even ask fordessert, probably a brownie.
(38:55):
My sister makes the bestbrownies.
She replaces something withcoffee grounds and then puts sea
salt on it and it's like theGhirardelli mix.
But she like subs out stuff andlike she golds the butter and
then puts it in.
And it's like the Ghirardellimix, but she like subs out stuff
and like she golds the butterand then puts it in and it's
just so good.
So, yeah, that's my probablybirthday dinner.
(39:16):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
So mine is a little bit simpler than that.
Should a birthday person answerthis?
Oh, so the duck wants to answer.

He's doing everything he's likewait hold on, I want it all.
Let me clear up my schedule.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So in my growing up we did a lot of fancy dinners
too.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, you might have to pivot on what your birthday
like, what your meal would be,because you said while she was
saying yeah, she did some of mystuff, but mine would probably
do more so of a cookout now forus being from where we're from I
love we are me and me and likewe're me and my roommate and der
(42:08):
Derek across the street, we'retrying to get a grill Because I
love, I want to learn how tolike.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Grill.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
You mean a grill.
For what do you mean?
You're trying to get a grill.
Grills aren't that expensive.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
No, I know.
But like for like when thepools open in the summer and
then I have an off day and I canjust sit out there and just
grill shit all day, like chicken, and then just like try
different rubs of things.
I'm so excited for summer tolike officially hit it's spring
right now and like so continue.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cutyou off.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
So for us definitely a cookout.
But I want not only carne asada, but I want a tomahawk steak
and I want to do a board, andthen I want potatoes.
Oh, tamale sounds so good too.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
See, I had potatoes too.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Yeah, but potatoes and onions and the foils on the
grill.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
You can never go wrong.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
But I want all of my food to be grilled.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
The char from a grill is something that is
unparalleled.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Well, because I would do charcoal and then I would
wet some apple wood and then,put it in.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Okay, so you're going to teach me how to do yes, yeah
, because I'm in.
I'm in on that.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
We had Ducky when she was younger, although she said
I made her eat what?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
did you say she made me eat?
13-year-old?
Speaker 3 (43:38):
butter, but we would do like once a week.
We would have like Sundaymornings would be like pancake
breakfast and then Saturdays wewould do a cookout like every
single weekend, invite like awhole bunch of people over to
our place when we lived inKnoxville.
So I learned a whole lot andthen, being from AZ, I mean you
(43:58):
don't have a choice but toreally grill and not have a lot
of fried foods anyway,especially with our year-round
summer.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
So which I want to be a part of, a place that has the
year-round summer Because, likeI know, it's like partially
here, but those months ofseasonal, a year-round summer?
Speaker 3 (44:15):
There ain't no year-round summer here.
What the hell are you talkingabout?
Speaker 2 (44:18):
I know, but those months of seasonal shit is like
awful.
Speaker 3 (44:23):
Oh see, we enjoy it, we love it.
No, I mean like the winter.
I love the winter.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
It makes me happy.
Okay, I'll reframe my mind toit.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
I'm the Aspen chick.
I'm going skiing, damn it.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Alright, snowboarding and all.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
He's over here tanning.
I don't want to tan.
I'm already melanated enough.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I'm not tanning.
What do you think this is?
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What do we think?
This is Willis, but Noah, yes,don't you have a little sit on
this?
Speaker 2 (44:56):
I do, and the sit on this today is from the Daily
Stoic by Ryan, holiday andStephen Hanselman.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
And where there Get him in his credit for writing
this book Stepping on my toes.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
What day is it today?
The 28th Sure For the DailyStoic.
The reading today is Cowardiceas a Design Problem.
The quote from Seneca, MoralLetters 95.46 Life without a
(45:34):
design is erratic.
As soon as one is in place,principles become necessary.
I think you'll concede thatnothing is more shameful than
uncertain and wavering conductand beating a cowardly retreat
and beating a cowardly retreat.
This will happen in all ouraffairs unless we remove the
faults that seize and detain ourspirits, preventing them from
(45:56):
pushing forward and making anall-out effort.
And then the little excerptfrom oh, what's his name
Petticus.
No, you said what's his namePetticus.
No, you said what's his name?
Stephen Hasselman.
Yeah, he sounds like he shouldbe in Hansel and Gretel.
(46:19):
I think every time you've saidthat name to me that's what I
have immediately thought of.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Is that why you forget this man?
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yep, he's forgettable , but Ryan Holiday.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Wow, we follow them on Instagram too.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Oh well, he's amazing , though.
Well, I know Ryan Holiday'samazing.
Email me.
Steven, I know you're notforgettable, you're just the
second name on the book, whichis usually forgettable.
Wait, should we cut that?
That?
No, I think you wouldappreciate it.
We're reading, okay, wait.
(46:55):
Um, the opposing team comes outstrong, establishing an early
lead, and you never had time torecover.
You walk into a businessmeeting, are caught off guard
and the whole thing goes poorly.
A delicate conversationescalates into a shouting match.
You switched majors halfwaythrough college and had to start
your coursework over andgraduate late.
(47:17):
Sound familiar.
It's the chaos that ensures fromnot having a plan, not because
plans are perfect, but becausepeople without plans, like a
line of infantrymen without astrong leader, are much more
likely to get overwhelmed andfall apart.
The Super Bowl winning coach,bill Walsh, used to avoid this
(47:39):
risk by scripting the beginningof his games.
If you want to sleep at nightbefore the game, he said in a
lecture on game planning haveyour first 25 plays established
in your own mind the nightbefore that you can walk into
the stadium and you can startthe game without a stress factor
.
You'll also be able to ignore acouple of early points or a
(48:02):
surprise from your opponent.
It's relevant to you.
You already have your marchingorders.
Don't try to make it up on thefly.
And have a plan and that's it,I think.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Well, thank you all for joining us on this week's

Um, it's more of like justcalculate, like trying my
figuring out my own mind.
We were talking about patternsearlier at therapy and just like
trying to which for the newlisteners.
(01:59):
Therapy is the conversation meand Anna have before we get on
the mic, the conversation me andAnna have before we get on the
mic.
So just like the patterns andthe pitfalls of patterns and how
, just the ones that I have thatare like not pleasant for my
mind or just not productive forlike a beneficial situation.
(02:27):
So I'm just trying to getthrough that and this week has
been that's kind of veered itsugly head and I'm usually
somebody that like buries myhead in the sand and ignores it,
but it has not been easy toignore this week.
So, if that makes sense, she'sputting on lip gloss because
(02:51):
apparently what I was saying wasnot.
No, I'm oiling my ashy hands.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Because, unlike your non-melanated self, I have to
oil my ashy everything.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
That can get away with no oil.
I cannot.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I have oily Hair.
Yeah, let's go.
Hair, let's go with that, let'sdo that.
Yeah, jamie is a part of thepodcast this week.
Everybody yeah, we need to hire.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Jamie again.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Duck, duck.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Jamie is like the most higher fire person we've
ever met.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They were standing outside.
It was like a help wanted signfor, like one day they were
doing the spinning outside.
There was nothing after that.
It was one day.
It was one day we drove by, wewere, we were like, yeah, just
get in.
Welcome back to the shit show,the circus get in uh we'll work
(03:58):
for less well, I was talkingabout my week.
How was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
my week as overall was super busy.
Last week was busy too, and nowI have like a constant migraine
, so yeah, A constant.
Yeah, I've had it for threedays.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So, like your week was essentially boiled down to
Busy as hell.
And migraine.
Now I have a migraine.
There's no footnotes in that.
Like I went on like a long twominute, three minute thing, and
then now it's just yeah, my headhurts you know, at work we have
our little events and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So I mean, that's always like hectic and I'm
normally like the one who islike going from store to store
and you know, going everywhereand doing that kind of stuff,
and then so that's, that'spretty normal, like to be that
busy.
Yeah, when it's an event, soit's not a big deal, but the
headache on top no, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
I as a kid, my, my sisters like, used to get like the really
bad ones where she had to takethe preventative pill before the
migraine hit.
And I just think, geneticallyin our family we have migraines,
because I was at work last weekand I know when it's about to
(05:18):
happen because my eyes getblurry.
Does that happen with you?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, my left eye is blurry, it has pain behind it.
I can't touch my hair.
So, like I told noah when Icame into his house although he
was like oh, you look great.
Like yeah, I haven't done thishair in like a few days.
Um, just throw this headband onthere because I can't touch my
hair, my face hurts and my backhurts.
And like I was telling jamieaka ducky that I looked up I
(05:48):
looked up these differentmigraines and I diagnosed myself
.
Is this true?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
you, hypochondriac you right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'm like this is what I have and she's like, yeah,
her biggest thing is how manypills have you taken a day?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.
Quite a bit and it's nothelping Yo like when I lived
with my dad, it was the samething.
Like he would literally take ahandful of like supplements,
like vitamin C, all his stuff,not eat and then be like, oh,
I'm about to throw up and I'mlike, dude, yeah, because you
just put all these capsules onan empty stomach.
(06:25):
Maybe drink some water, likemaybe, maybe, like that's not
the hell, like the, the, theequation to a healthy lifestyle.
Like, yeah, the supplement,sure, but maybe put some food on
it, right?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
it all has to balance .
Yeah, so I um, I've done prettygood today.
I think I've only taken four,because I've taken two when I
came to the studio and then twoearlier, and none of it's
working though, so I'm probablygoing to just be done for the
night.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, so I need to be more quiet and chill.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, you can still be yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No it was funny because when you got here on the
couch like I was playing musicand just being all loud and then
I was like remembered that shehad told me on the phone before
she got to the studio, I waslike wait, she has a migraine
and I was like I'm so sorry andI just made a call, like I said,
just quiet at least you're niceabout it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
At least you're nice, because no one in my house I
don't think anyone's taking meserious.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wait until they get migraines.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I wouldn't wish a migraine on my worst enemy.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, they're pretty bad.
Yeah, my little ratchetfive-year-old was just like
yelling at me and I'm like whyare you yelling at me?
And she's like you know, I'mjust loud.
She's like I'm Yamika LeRaeBecause that's her ghetto name,
and I'm just like girl, I needyou to stop.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I need Yemi to come up with a ghetto name for me.
Is there potential for that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, my little Wiga friend.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We were watching the game before?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, we were.
It is March Madness, so it'sbeen very fun for me being a
basketball person.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He's like that's a wig.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I was like you can just tell as a former one you
can just tell.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He's reformed.
I'm reformed, that's whattherapy sessions are all about.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I found my own style.
I do not identify as Literally.
Oh my goodness, All right Annayou got something to read, I
think.
So, like I know we were justchatting it up, but we have like
a start-off point, don't we?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
At some point Noah's keeping me on track.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I know I'm impressed.
Well, you have the migraine ontrack.
That's cool.
I know well you have themigraine.
I'm just let's note this day inhistory.
I'm just here, the migraine,the migraine day exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So I will be reading today with a little um wisdom on
it.
So we're gonna put a littlewisdom on that's.
So we're going to put a littlewisdom on that's what we call
this session.
What is?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
it yeah, sex session, uh, segment Segment.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I was like I knew where you were going.
I was like this is what we callour segment.
Put a little wisdom on it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I have no blunt.
This is not a session, this isa segment.
Yeah, this is a segment of apodcast.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
But I'll be reading from the book of Awakening by
Mark Nepo, and this is titledthe Gift of Shedding.
From the beginning, the key torenewal has been the casting off
of old skin.
It is interesting that theearliest peoples believed in
something that we, in our modernhive of manufacturing, have
(09:47):
forgotten that immortality isattainable by shedding.
The Dunsons of North Borneohave believed for centuries that
when God finished creating theworld, he announced that whoever
is able to cast off his skinshall not die.
But what does that mean?
Not that we can live forever,but that the way to stay closest
(10:12):
to the pulse of life, the wayto stay in the presence of that
divine reality which informseverything, is to be willing to
change, still change.
What To change?
Whatever has ceased to functionwithin us, to shed whatever we
are carrying that is no longeralive, to cast off our dead skin
(10:35):
, because dead skin can't feel,dead eyes can't see, dead ears
can't hear.
And without feeling there is nochance of wholeness, and
wholeness remains our bestchance to survive the pain of
breaking.
Of course, for human beings,dead skin takes many forms, the
(10:58):
most significant of which remainintangible but suffocating.
Intangible but suffocating,such as a dead way of thinking,
a dead way of seeing, a dead wayof relating, a dead way of
believing, or a dead way ofexperiencing.
In essence, shedding opens usup to self-transformation.
(11:19):
Those of us who refuse suchrenewal will sooner or later be
forced to undergo transformationanyway as a result of being
broken or eroded by the world.
Very often, both occur at thesame time, that is, we shed from
within while being eroded fromwithout.
(11:41):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That was really good.
Can you repeat the last line?
We shed within while beingeroded from the out.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Very often both occur at the same time.
That is, we shed from withinwhile being eroded from without.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Dang, I love that.
It's so weird that, like wereally don't plan this and we
just flip to the day, but I, Iwas having a conversation with
someone, um, about how it justlife as I'm getting older feels
like, um, I just had a bad dream.
(12:25):
You know, mine are never good.
I've talked to you about that,but it's the killing of the
older version of yourself, andthat's a prevalent one in this
phase of my life where it's acontinuous like you have to kill
(12:46):
this old version of yourselfand it's like that, essentially,
is what that's boiled down to,is it's like, okay, you're
shedding that version ofyourself.
Shedding is a better word thankilling, but I, I agree that, um
, that that's uh, I do feel likethat's a hard thing to do.
(13:08):
Part of what, what did youthink about it?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
before I get into my next little segue of thought, so
for me, the word shedding is agreat, not killing, and and I
say that because, think about it, when animals shed their skin,
it's like it gives.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's like a rebirth.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, and so for humans, for us, when I think of
shedding, it's like sheddingsome of those old habits.
Yeah, so that we can grow to bewho we're supposed to be, what
God wants us to be Exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
So, because think about our shedding is like
necessary and I think that tiesin like my segue of thought,
where it's we've been on thislike journey together of like
self-discovery and really tryingto tap into being the best
versions of ourselves.
Yeah, um, and I think part ofthe reason my week kind of
(14:06):
kicked me in the ass is it'slike really delving into my mind
and seeing and trying to likepinpoint stuff that like is ugly
to me and trying to address it.
Somebody said something reallyprevalent, where people don't
(14:27):
just do that Like people, somepeople like choose actively to
ignore getting to knowthemselves.
And that to me, when that like Iwas just waking up and thinking
oh everybody every day iswaking up and trying to be the
(14:49):
best version of themselves, andif they're not being the best
version of themselves, thenthey're trying to pinpoint
monotonous and mundane, and thatis something that, yeah, and
(15:14):
it's not dangerous, because youalways try to leave that door
open for them of self-growth andimprovement and X Y, z, but
it's like geez.
I like the insufferableness ofpeople.
This week I think that veeredits ugly head where it's like I
(15:36):
thought people cared about beingbetter.
I really Now not to writeeverybody off into the same
category.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They just don't want to do the work.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Or they just ignore it because they don't want to do
the work.
The work is daunting.
So like I get that, I get that.
But to somebody who isattempting to do the work, even
Kaizen, that 1% better it's like.
Even that attempt to beconfronted with people that
ignore it is just, is it more?
(16:11):
I think it's draining on like ahuman level, and maybe not even
just a human level but aspiritual level too, for that
person's soul.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, but snake shed, I don't know.
I was trying to bring it backTo something Less on the
ethereal plane.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Snake shed.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But scales, scales.
Why does it feel wet?
And it's not wet, it's a scale.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh, my skittles.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
No, but my week's been really good, it's been a
good week.
I am serious, it's like me andAnna were driving over to pick
up our duck.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Our duck, our duck.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's actually pretty awesome.
Our Jamie is a duck, no, butthen we were just talking about
how, like, what did I say?
I said I missed you, and thenyou said something smart.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I don't know, is it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
She talks so much I do In the car.
It's just like, is there an offbutton to this thing?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
There's not, there's not.
I probably said yeah, I missyou too or something, or I miss
me too.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
No, you said I miss you too, and then I think you
went into this long.
No, you said see, is this whatcodependency is?
And I said to you I said nope,I don't think like if I go to my
psychiatrist and I say I missthem, they're going to like
automatically prescribe me withlike something to make me miss
(17:56):
them less.
I don't think that's how thatworks.
I don't think you get a medicaldegree by like missing
something and then being likeokay, yeah, that's not that.
That's not codependency.
Well, actually, maybe now,that's that is how it works.
Covid, covid, covid fucked up alot of shit.
(18:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Don't give the internet no extra help.
Someone's already thought ofthat somebody's already thought
everything because they ain'tgot nothing else.
Better, no, nothing better todo.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
They're 90 pounds, soaking wet and just coming up
with shit no reason.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
If you could rename yourself, what would your name
be?
Um I know that's so randomjebediah gutenberg not jebediah.
You went way deep, jebediah nowait.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Do we want a serious answer?
I actually not.
I would not want to renamemyself.
I love my name.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I love my name, Not because it has well, my middle
name kind of has a lot ofsignificance.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Do you want to like pronounce your whole name, or is
that still not?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Oh, no, I can pronounce my whole name.
Let me tell you Cause.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I've always just said , anna, but it's Ananisha
Stellarar Laverne Ross Moreno.
See, I love that.
Speaker 3 (19:21):

five.
What Ananisha Stellar RossMoreno?
Yeah, mine's Noah Emerson.
Xavier Mace.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So like I wouldn't change it, because having like
being that you do, you rememberbeing the kid in school and it's
like they would like announceyour name and you'd be like, oh,
I'm so different.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No, bro, they didn't announce my name.
They just looked at it and Ijust knew it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Not on like check, like you had to put your hand up
to see if you were attendance.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
They couldn't pronounce it, so they would look
, oh, and I'd be like that's me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, I already knew.
See, that was special in and ofitself.
I bet that's why you have thatcomplex.
I bet I do.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
You know the doctor's office to this day.
I'm just like, I know it's alook.
I'm like, yep, y'all lookconfused.
Me too, that's me but I do loveit how on my driver's license,
see, I love how we like we chosethat question and yet we're
just like going right into.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, I wouldn't change my name at all no, it's
great, but I like that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I on my driver's license and social security card
.
My entire name is on it.
They fit all 900 letters.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I love that about my license.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I was just like, yes, put all that on there, just
throw it all on there and I uselike I've never heard.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I've always just like anna, like even in my phone.
You're anna and like to likehear you say it.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Say it one more time ananisha stellar, laverne, ross,
moreno, that's so cool, I havesome capital.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
And then Ross has a hyphen on it.
So it's Ross Moreno, yes, andso does Stellar Laverne.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And believe it or not .
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Stellar and Laverne is great-grandma and grandmother
on both sides of my family'snames.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That's so cool.
Mine's yeah, I wouldn't changemy name.
I think I wanted to go byEmerson for a while, like I
think.
When I got to high school I waslike, okay, I want to be like
Noah's girly.
I think somebody told me that,and I think Miley Cyrus's sister
(21:33):
was like a thing at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And I was like, yeah, I don't want to be like
associated with that.
So I tried, but it never pickedup.
No, it never like became athing.
And everybody that would say no, I'd be like, yep, that's me.
And I didn't even commit to thebit, I didn't even.
I was like, yeah, no, I guessI'm just Noah.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, you're just Noah.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But I do love the history of my other names, my
family being my last name, a's,and then Emerson being my
grandfather, who RIP he'ssomewhere and then, well, I
(22:19):
think, great-grandfather.
Actually, let me talk to myfamily so I don't butcher my own
lineage name.
You don't even know where hisname came from.
I do, but I'm in a completelydifferent stratosphere because
we were talking about how youwere shedding your skin and
moistness and I don't know.
It just was a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So I don't want to butcher my own lineage right now
.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Let's not put me on the chopping block to butcher my
lineage.
Let's not do that.
I feel a lot of pressure rightnow To not butcher my own.
What in Charles Dickinson'sname?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Alright, where'd you come up with this?
Like that has nothing to dowith nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All right, Anna, what is something that seems like it
should be appealing, or what issomething that seems like it
should appeal to youspecifically, but it doesn't?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Facebook?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Don't expose your age like that.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'm the Instagram.
Anybody who sees our episodescan tell where I'm posting from.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Okay, honestly, though, what's the difference
between every one of them?
At this point, there's not one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, for me it's all swipes.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
They all figured out the dopamine algorithm.
It's all the same.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, for me, I just feel like, and maybe because I
don't have everybody and theirgrandma on my Instagram.
It's safer, I'm wrong.
Well, for me it's safer.
For me I don't see all thenegative shit.
But Facebook, I think, becausein the beginning you're just
adding people, You're like, yeah, everybody's on.
Yeah, everybody's my friend youknow Caitlyn from third grade,
(24:09):
we're friends that I see a lotof negative stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
About our podcast no not about our podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Nobody listens to us.
Our 12 fans love us and they'reall family.
But shout out to every familymember that's listening we love
you and we're thinking of youfondly from our studio kisses
but Facebook is a lot and that'sthe sucky part.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's from everybody's algorithm.
It's not even mine, because Idon't have one.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I never made one.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I I made a fake one, I think no, I have a real one,
but the stuff that's on there isnot even like stuff like from
me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
It's like it's all ai , so I'm just like I don't want
to hear about the politicalstuff?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I don't want to hear about the political stuff.
I don't want to hear about theover-religious stuff.
Who?
Cares, I don't want to hearabout whose ass cheeks was
hanging out at the Grammys.
I don't care, so it's morenegative than it is anything.
So my Instagram is tailored tomore positivity.
I follow positive people.
Positive people follow me.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's the best way to be.
Yeah, like if you're looking atyour phone.
The consuming of the negativemedia is crazy to me that that's
just become like a naturalthing.
Mm-hmm, and people are happyabout it too.
And that's why because you knowI've taken a lot of breaks and
like from just having apps whereI can, like can, view what
people are thinking, because,honestly, it gets even more
lonely than not having the appto begin with, because it's like
(25:48):
these people are so dumb thatpeople get wrapped up in this.
I just want to ask those peoplechange it.
Change it.
Then, if you're so worked up,ask those people change it.
Change it then, if you're soworked up by this thing, change
it.
Show me how you can influenceit.
(26:08):
I just think people like to beworked up for the sake of being
worked up.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, I was about to say that I'm like they like that
crap.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's like tabloids.
Remember going to the grocerystore when you were well, when I
was.
I remember going to the grocerystore when I was a kid and like
seeing.
No, but I was seeing like wehad tabloids too.
No, but I was seeing like thenewspapers and like I would grab
it and be like I want to readthis and my mom would like be
like no, none of that shit'sreal.
(26:34):
And I was like, hmm, and likenow it's basically Instagram.
Like Instagram is like the newRoman Empire's version of the
Colosseum, but instead of likefighting for lives, it's like
we're fighting for attention.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I love how you gave that analogy.
It was such a great.
You know I love analogies.
Is that a good analogy, but-hmm.
But we lost everybody that wasborn with a phone in their hand
Like they have no idea.
They're like who?
Roman Empire, what?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
is that the new age Roman Empire's version of the
Colosseum is Instagram.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I have no clue.
They were like that didn't makeany sense.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Good.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
No, it did make sense .
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Y'all need to go Old soul over here.
I got it fucking tatted on me,bitch.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
No, I'm kidding I'm like shoot.
But.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I've had a lot of people, I think.
I said somebody was checkingout at the gym and they said, um
, uh, you know how we have toask for the last names.
And he said, yeah, my last nameis Davis.
And he was older, like grayhair, and I said, oh, like Miles
, and he said that's a goodreference for your age.
(27:52):
And I was like oh, hmm.
Well, you've been calling me anold man all day you are an old
man they've always called mywhole family.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
You've been doing this old man hand talk thing,
lady cross thing.
I noticed it a few weeks agoand I was just like what is
happening?
Because I'm like agingbackwards, I'm like a child at
this point.
I told him I'm one step fromthrowing a temper tantrum.
So I'm like, and he's over herejust like honey, baby, come
(28:26):
here.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
No, can I give you a little insight about my family?
When Rachel and my dad bothlived here, they called me
Peepaw because, like how I wouldlike move and like my slippers
and my outfits.
I would like move and like myslippers and my outfits.
I would just literally be like.
So they still to this day willcall me people and they'll
mention it.
They'll be like uh-oh, people'shere and I'll like give some
(28:50):
old opinion on how those damnliberals like I don't know yeah,
yeah, he had the wholemannerism thing going.
What was the question to beginwith?
I feel like I need to answer itfor myself.
What is something you wouldlike?
Just social media in general.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I think social media, because I care less.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
That should appeal to you.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, but it really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
See, that makes it a complicated question for me,
though, because I'm relating itback to myself, because we're
over you at this point what fell?
Okay, my phone, never mind whatI should like.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And unfortunately you have to market every darn thing
through social media.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I can't put this on the billboard, no you don't.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Honestly, I't put this on the billboard no, you
don't.
Honestly, I should put it onthe billboard.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I could just run around with it painted to my
body of whatever I was trying tosell.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm trying to sell our podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Remember guerrilla marketing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
We just need to do guerrilla marketing for this.
We need to put stickers Enoughpeople know about us at this
point just in the area, theyjust don't know where to find it
that if we just printed outlike QR codes and like with the
green onions, and I would slapthem everywhere, vandalism go
crazy.
Like I will get arrested for it.
I don't care, I'll slap it oneverything.
(30:17):
I'll slap it on everything.
I'll slap it on cars.
No, I'm kidding.
If you find a green onionsticker on your vehicle, it was
not Noah Emerson, xavier man.
What is something I should likethat?
Thank you for asking, anna.
(30:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I don't know, I didn't ask he asked the question
.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well, I asked the question to you and then you
never validated me back with theresponse I did Well.
You gave me the response, butthen you didn't ask it back to
me.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Do you want to ask it back to me?
I didn't.
You know what your turn.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm so glad.
Do you want to ask?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
about it.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I didn't you know what your turn I was like is
that how we've been doing thisfor me probably EDM.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I can't stand EDM, but I feel like I should like it
why do you feel like you shouldlike it?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
see, I asked that question?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
yeah, I don't feel like I should like it.
Enough females have told methat I should like it.
See, I asked a question.
Yeah, I don't feel like Ishould like it.
Enough females have told methat I should like edm.
That at this point I'm like Ishould.
And then I listen to it and I'mlike so you're telling me
you're paying tickets to watchsomebody mash buttons on a board
that's sweaty and probablylives with his mother.
That's, that's what we're doing.
That's what we're doing, andthat's an excuse for these
(31:43):
stupid ass bitches to put fishnuts on and look like they're
Rastafarian.
That's so dumb you sound angryno, but yeah, I don't like that
because people just assume Iknow what EDM is or care.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Oh dude, I cannot.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You know how easy it would be to learn how to push a
button.
I do, I push buttons, fuckinganyway.
But I'm like I don't know howOur fucking computers at my job
are like from 1987.
Do, do, do, jesus, do, do, do,do, do, do, do, do do.
Oh, wow, he really knew how tobuild up and drop that like yeah
(32:22):
, that's all.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
EDM is wow, that, that 808 is really fucking.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That's gonna change the game.
No, no, edm has ever changedthe game.
It's all been the fucking exactsame shit.
Skrillex changed the game andthen what did Skrillex do?
Not fucking Jack.
He's still the same weirdpedo-looking motherfucker.
Yeah, no, I don't like EDM.
He said oh, I don't like EDM atall.
(32:49):
I get worked up so much.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, on a different note, this might work about too.
How is the financial challengegoing for you?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
It's been a struggle.
It's been good because I'mpretty solid financially anyway.
But just having to put that inthe forefront of my life, that
has been the struggle, knowingwhich.
(33:25):
This is always how it workswith me.
Like before I figure somethingout, I'll have pitfalls on it,
but that's always my firstthought.
So like, if I spend a littletoo much money, my first
thought's been okay, I'm notdoing well at the challenge, and
that's always like my telltalesign in my own head that I'm on
the right track of trying to fixit.
So like, if it's something Ithink about currently and it's
(33:50):
not just something I try toignore or unintentionally ignore
, it's always a good thing, soit's on the right path.
I guarantee you, by the end ofthe year I'll be a trillionaire.
So I'm joking.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
If that's the case, I'm not doing the challenge
correctly.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
If that's the case, there will be no more Green
Onions podcast and I will be onan island in Bermuda and nobody
will hear from me ever.
If you make it to Bermuda, oh,not the triangle.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Right, just don't touch all three points.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
But um.
But yeah, it's, it's, uh, it'sit's been on a like, it's been
on the forefront of my mind.
Well, so for me, great.
However, on the flip side, gothusband on it, but he's sneaky.
So what I've done, I've shutoff.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Excuse me, whoa, no Is that why you're so far from
the mic.
Speaker 3 (34:52):

cut off part of the car too, soI've been doing really well,
yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, how much are we talking about that?
He may listen to this episodeand then it be like a.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
He's behind.
My own spouse is behindlistening to us.
Maybe, because I talk to himtoo much.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Everybody I talk to is behind on listening.
My parents thought it wasThanksgiving the other day.

dinner?

simple food and like my sistergot me into.
Like I'm sorry, boogers, sorry.
Speaker 3 (37:14):

Speaker 2 (37:15):
That deviated septum?
Um, it was.
But like in getting intocooking and like even with my
family at this point, like everybirthday or whatever, we're
always going to like a fancyrestaurant and like I love.
So if I have to sit there andthink about birthdays or like a
(37:35):
dinner, I have to sit there andthink about an appetizer.
So my appetizer would becalamari, but like with the
lemon and the Calamari is the.
I'm going to get hungry justthinking about this.
Oh, okay, it's fine.
(38:04):
Calamari, a New York shrimpmedium with like a Hennessy,
with heavy whipping cream andpepper, like a steak au poivre,
so like a very like with a gravy, and then on the like, as the
side, charred asparagus withgarlic potatoes, but like garlic
(38:31):
, like pan seared on a cast ironwith rosemary and all the stuff
and butter, and then you let itsit in the butter so that the
butter sucks up into the potatoand then, um, dessert Uh, I
probably wouldn't even ask fordessert, probably a brownie.
(38:55):
My sister makes the bestbrownies.
She replaces something withcoffee grounds and then puts sea
salt on it and it's like theGhirardelli mix.
But she like subs out stuff andlike she golds the butter and
then puts it in.
And it's like the Ghirardellimix, but she like subs out stuff
and like she golds the butterand then puts it in and it's
just so good.
So, yeah, that's my probablybirthday dinner.

Let me clear up my schedule.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So in my growing up we did a lot of fancy dinners
too.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, you might have to pivot on what your birthday
like, what your meal would be,because you said while she was
saying yeah, she did some of mystuff, but mine would probably
do more so of a cookout now forus being from where we're from I
love we are me and me and likewe're me and my roommate and der
(42:08):
Derek across the street, we'retrying to get a grill Because I
love, I want to learn how tolike.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Grill.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
You mean a grill.
For what do you mean?
You're trying to get a grill.
Grills aren't that expensive.
Speaker 2 (42:24):

grill.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
You can never go wrong.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
But I want all of my food to be grilled.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
The char from a grill is something that is
unparalleled.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Well, because I would do charcoal and then I would
wet some apple wood and then,put it in.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Okay, so you're going to teach me how to do yes, yeah
, because I'm in.
I'm in on that.

I made her eat what?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
did you say she made me eat?
13-year-old?
Speaker 3 (43:38):

We would have like Sundaymornings would be like pancake
breakfast and then Saturdays wewould do a cookout like every
single weekend, invite like awhole bunch of people over to
our place when we lived inKnoxville.
So I learned a whole lot andthen, being from AZ, I mean you
(43:58):
don't have a choice but toreally grill and not have a lot
of fried foods anyway,especially with our year-round
summer.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
So which I want to be a part of, a place that has the
year-round summer Because, likeI know, it's like partially
here, but those months ofseasonal, a year-round summer?
Speaker 3 (44:15):
There ain't no year-round summer here.
What the hell are you talkingabout?
Speaker 2 (44:18):
I know, but those months of seasonal shit is like
awful.
Speaker 3 (44:23):
Oh see, we enjoy it, we love it.
No, I mean like the winter.
I love the winter.
Speaker 2 (44:31):

Okay, I'll reframe my mind toit.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
I'm the Aspen chick.
I'm going skiing, damn it.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Alright, snowboarding and all.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
He's over here tanning.
I don't want to tan.
I'm already melanated enough.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I'm not tanning.
What do you think this is?
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What do we think?
This is Willis, but Noah, yes,don't you have a little sit on
this?
Speaker 2 (44:56):
I do, and the sit on this today is from the Daily
Stoic by Ryan, holiday andStephen Hanselman.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
And where there Get him in his credit for writing
this book Stepping on my toes.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
What day is it today?
The 28th Sure For the DailyStoic.
The reading today is Cowardiceas a Design Problem.
The quote from Seneca, MoralLetters 95.46 Life without a
(45:34):
design is erratic.
As soon as one is in place,principles become necessary.
I think you'll concede thatnothing is more shameful than
uncertain and wavering conductand beating a cowardly retreat
and beating a cowardly retreat.
This will happen in all ouraffairs unless we remove the
faults that seize and detain ourspirits, preventing them from
(45:56):
pushing forward and making anall-out effort.
And then the little excerptfrom oh, what's his name
Petticus.
No, you said what's his namePetticus.
No, you said what's his name?
Stephen Hasselman.
Yeah, he sounds like he shouldbe in Hansel and Gretel.
(46:19):
I think every time you've saidthat name to me that's what I
have immediately thought of.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Is that why you forget this man?
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yep, he's forgettable , but Ryan Holiday.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Wow, we follow them on Instagram too.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Oh well, he's amazing , though.
Well, I know Ryan Holiday'samazing.
Email me.
Steven, I know you're notforgettable, you're just the
second name on the book, whichis usually forgettable.
Wait, should we cut that?
That?
No, I think you wouldappreciate it.
We're reading, okay, wait.
(46:55):
Um, the opposing team comes outstrong, establishing an early
lead, and you never had time torecover.
You walk into a businessmeeting, are caught off guard
and the whole thing goes poorly.
A delicate conversationescalates into a shouting match.
You switched majors halfwaythrough college and had to start
your coursework over andgraduate late.
(47:17):
Sound familiar.
It's the chaos that ensures fromnot having a plan, not because
plans are perfect, but becausepeople without plans, like a
line of infantrymen without astrong leader, are much more
likely to get overwhelmed andfall apart.
The Super Bowl winning coach,bill Walsh, used to avoid this
(47:39):
risk by scripting the beginningof his games.
If you want to sleep at nightbefore the game, he said in a
lecture on game planning haveyour first 25 plays established
in your own mind the nightbefore that you can walk into
the stadium and you can startthe game without a stress factor
.
You'll also be able to ignore acouple of early points or a
(48:02):
surprise from your opponent.
It's relevant to you.
You already have your marchingorders.
Don't try to make it up on thefly.
And have a plan and that's it,I think.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Well, thank you all for joining us on this week's
edition.
