it went good.
I you know, it was the kids'first Thanksgiving with us and I
think it went well.
You know it's not our norm tohave little people, but hey, it

(01:58):

Anna, what's your favoritedessert At this?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
current moment it is cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What flavor Plain, just plain cheesecake, just
plain cheesecake, and I don'treally like New York cheesecake
all the time, but Publix has avery good.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
New York cheesecake yeah, yeah so whatever you just
said doesn't make any sense tome.
My favorite dessert is I havedrumsticks in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What's your favorite drumstick?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I got the classic one .
The chocolate One was good.
The.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Like the caramel one.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's my favorite Vanilla with caramel in the
middle On the top, and then youeat low.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And it's chocolate.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Those are really good .
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Especially when it gets melty at the bottom.
I have not tried.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
whatever the third one is, I should probably look
and see what the third one is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It's probably just a plain one, Like it's nothing
exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
We won't acknowledge that.
As a person, it's like thethey-thems you just don't
acknowledge those.
As a person, it's like the theythems you just don't
acknowledge those as people, notthe they thems.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, wow, wow, noah.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, what's next?
What is the Daily Stoic fortoday?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen
Hasselman for November 30th isFollow the Logos.
The person who follows reasonin all things will have both
leisure and a readiness to act.
They are at once both cheerfuland self-composed.
(04:03):
Marcus Aurelius, marcus.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Aurelius.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Aurelius Meditations 10.12b.
Ai told me Aurelius.
Let me continue.
The guiding reason of the world, the Stoics called this the
Logos Works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes the Logos gives uswhat we want.
(04:30):
Other times it gives usprecisely what we do not want.
In either case, they believedthat the Logos was an
all-powerful force that governedthe universe, force that
governs the universe.
There is a helpful analogy toexplain the logos we are like a
dog leash to a moving cart.
(04:50):
The direction of the cart willdetermine where we go, depending
on the length of the leash.
We also have a fair amount ofroom to explore and determine
the pace, but ultimately, whateach of us must choose is
whether we will go willfully orpainfully dragged.
Which will it be?
Cheerful acceptance or ignorantrefusal?
(05:13):
In the end, they amount to thesame.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Drag me in the infinite refusal.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So you're going to be the drag me okay.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, can you reread it ?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You want me to reread ?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
it.
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He is not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I've had a lot happen .
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I know you have, but it's all good can you sum it up?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
not really, but so there's logos, so there's logos.
I feel like we should justre-read it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
There's logos, and the logos are what determines,
you know, gives us what we wantor, other times, what we do not
want, and this is what is theforce of the universe.
So, as we're all over herethinking, oh, the universe will
provide, there's something elsebehind the universe Universe.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Universe.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Universe Called logos , called logos else behind the
universe universe.
Universe universe called logos,called logos, which I, you know
, I never heard of this wholelogos thing before.
Um, but it just basically sayswe are like dogs on a leash to a
moving cart.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
so I feel like everybody else is.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Everybody else is Not you.
Yeah, I feel like I'm the car.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You're the car, no the car.
I feel like I'm draggingeverybody else.
That's good and it's how I feel, sometimes like it's too much.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Funny that you say something like that.
So I can't remember the exactverse in the bible, but you know
how like we think and I'm notsaying like you and me
specifically, but people ingeneral believe that we are to
fill other people's cups.
And the way the guy explainedit he's like but think about it,
(07:27):
you're always drained, you'realways tired.
He's like no, he's like cuprunneth over.
They're supposed to get yourdrippings.
Your cup is supposed to berunning over.
They're supposed to get yourdrippings because you're not
supposed to be drained and tiredfrom you know, feeding into
people, especially people whogive two craps about you and
that's kind of what this isreminding me of this
(07:49):
conversation right now is you'relike man.
I feel like I'm dragging otherpeople because you're you're
feeding into them.
They're not feeding into youand clearly your cup is running
over and they're taking, taking,taking plus.
You're feeding into them CauseI know I can definitely say at
work you definitely do that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
you definitely put a lot into people no, and that's
something that's semi hard forme to understand, is it's?
I will not even just at work,like you said, I will pour
(08:32):
myself into.
Even if myself needs a top off,like, even if, like, mentally,
physically, I need a top off andto like fill up as a human, I
(08:57):
will still take the fluid thatwas supposed to top myself off,
pause and pour it into everybodyelse.
I really will.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You do, you do, and I think that's why you get
mentally drained a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I do Even with the situation today.
It's sitting there being likewere you just?
Looking for something.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Because you being around me and saying what you
just said, all you do is give toeverybody else X, y, z.
I know I do that and forsomebody that I'm supposed to
care about to not see that, itmakes me feel like a piece of
shit.
It makes me feel very minute.
(09:51):
And then when you make somebodythat's giving themselves is
probably a narcissist, and thenyou make that person feel that
(10:15):
way, it makes them feel so tinyand I don't think the narcissist
understands that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, they don't, no, absolutely.
They don't.
Think the narcissistunderstands that.
No, they don't, no, absolutelythey don't.
And that's why, when people getout of those situations with a
narcissist and there are severaldifferent narcissists, but when
they do, they do they feel likeemotionally drained, they feel
mentally drained.
It's almost like you hit themover and over.
I mean they, they feel likereally defeated and a lot of
(10:46):
them come out of theirrelationships, um, like they
have been abused.
They, they have low self-esteem, um, so not me what happy.
You better, not everybody.
You better not.
Yes, yes, happy Thanksgiving Onthat note.
(11:11):
Well, actually, on a differentnote, we're going to come off
that note.
But you know, if everybody kindof think about that, you know,
about the logos, the universeThink about that Because the
goal is to be a better person.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was there anything that anybody heard from me?
I don't think so.
I'm getting over a sicknesscurrently.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What's the fastest way to your heart, Noah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Me.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're the fastest way to your own heart.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh Jesus, no, no.
Fastest way to my heart, it'sprobably comfortability.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Explain.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You make me feel like I don't have to put on or
attempt to be more than I justnaturally am.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, that's the fastest way to remember.
I don't care about any of thelovelings, I don't care about
gifts, I don't care aboutquality time, I don't care about
any of them.
They're all so stupid andthey're all so materialistic.
Even if it's just like qualitytime when that's not something
(12:52):
you can hold, it's just all veryeasy to put people in a box and
, no, my shit is like like, ifyou make me feel comfortable and
I like being around thatsituation and you an extension
(13:19):
of that situation, then, um,that's the way to move on I
think I gotta kind of bite thatnow that you explained it,
because I guess for me, likethat, that's kind of like the
thing, like if I can't tell youor be honest with you, then we
(13:42):
have no reason to even have anykind of relationship.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We don't need a friendship, I don't need, you
know, like I've got to becomfortable because you never
know.
Sometimes people just have tojust say what they have to say
and be done.
It doesn't have to drag on.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But also like.
The best friendships are whereyou feel comfortable with
somebody to say what you need tosay yeah and then understand
that, despite how hurtful whatyou need to say that person is,
it's not going to blow up in anargument and they're not going
to yell at you for 45 minutes.
Hence what I just went throughearlier today.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So Amen, hallelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh, I'm sorry.
You fuck somebody else and thenI'm dealing with the insecurity
of that Wee and yet you're ableto yell at me that I downloaded
Tinder at some point.
I hate you, dumbass broad.
Shut the fuck up, get out of myhouse, honestly.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Noah's had a rough day today unnecessarily
literally, unnecessarily roughday that just doesn't make sense
.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just, oh wow, I let you sleep in my house.
You were comfortable.
I didn't understand that stuffthat didn't exist over clicks of
thumbs was the thing that madeyou feel like I don't deserve
this.
Oh, you didn't deserve to sleepcomfortably somewhere.
(15:19):
You didn't deserve for me toget you glasses of water.
You didn't deserve for me toprovide everything for you that
night.
Yeah, go to the next JeffreyDahmer-ass motherfucker that's
gonna fucking do whatever thefuck they want to you and then
realize how good you fucking hadit with me.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's not Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Dahmer no, not me.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
They leave me and go to somebody.
That's a bum.
I'm a cockroach.
I will always survive and it'sfrustrating that these bitches
just pick the littlest thing ofme because they expect the
highest standard of me.
The highest standard of mecomparatively the next guy
(16:10):
they're gonna fuck is what's thelowest standard for the other
guys comparatively to my topstandard?
They probably need like a solidcrystal chandelier to be my
lowest standard, but they don'thave that.
(16:31):
And that's how high quality mylowest standard, but they don't
have that.
And that's how high qualityvalue man I am.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, that's going to be on someone's t-shirt Part of
it, not all of it.
It's a really long t-shirt.
Well, feel sorry for the person.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I feel sorry for the person I feel sorry for these
bitches that are going to wakeup in 10 years and understand
that they married a crack whoreand their baby has learning
disabilities.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh my gosh, we bind him and beat that in the name of
Jesus?
Let's hope not.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's just going to happen.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay, hope not, it's just gonna happen.
Okay, anything new happeningbesides that?
Like oh my god, that was a loteverybody that was definitely a
lot of vent right there was thattoo much to put on a podcast?
There's a great chance therewas, but here we are.
(17:38):
We're going to keep it rolling.
Okay, what is one thing youwish people would stop bragging
about?
Because I know for me, I hatewhen people.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I wish people would stop bragging about how they
think they're cool.
Oh, yep, that's what I wasgoing for, like, because I'm
like, if you are just thinkthey're the reason that like
like oh, I fucked you, oh, yourpussy's revolutionary that I'll
(18:11):
just keep coming back.
No, I've had more shit than you, it's not.
Honestly, it was smellier thanthe past one, so can we
understand?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
What was the question ?
What do you wish people wouldstop bragging about?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, I wish people would like get off their own
fucking high hours.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, my thing is, you don't need to tell me you're
cool, like, if you're tellingme you're cool, you're probably
not cool.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Have I told you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, no, I'm just saying, have I been telling you
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
no.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
No, you just come over here because you know I'm
cool.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, that's totally what it is, not that we have to,
you know, pay this high assrent in Cali, not that we're
contractually obligated.
Just to this mortgage.
But yeah, that's my.
I don't like that.
I hate when people tell methey're cool.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I'm like, let me determine if you're cool, Let me
determine if this is worth mytime, yeah also, just be like
content in yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, but I think people who brag Like people ask
me like what my body count isand shit.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And I'm like, oh, you keep track of that.
It's like when people ask mehow many tattoos I have.
It's like when people ask mehow many tattoos I have, it's
like the same shit.
It's like you keep track ofthat.
Like no, I set out when I gottattoos to just get them.
I don't think you can trackwhen you probably have a million
(19:51):
.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Like you don't set out to like go home and journal
and tally oh well, I got thisdot, I got this smiley face, I
got this.
No, you don't do that.
It's the same with body count.
Nobody fucking gives a fuckabout body count.
(20:18):
If you're asking me about bodycount, that automatically makes
me put you in the bracket ofstupid.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Damn just stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, just dumb, you've automatically lost like
mental points to me.
You've automatically lost likemental points to me Because it's
like oh, that's how simplisticyou view being somebody, like
with somebody.
Yeah, like, you view it thatdumbly.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's the same with tattoos.
Maybe they should be askingwhen was the last time you got
tested?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, they all need to be tested.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And they all look like they should be working on
the goddamn street.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh my gosh, oh boy, no, he's definitely been, y'all,
he's definitely been.
He's had a night even that cuntoh, no.
So, noah, noah, tell me more,tell me what would you keep a
(21:29):
secret if you knew it would hurtsomebody?
What would you keep a secret ifyou knew it would hurt somebody
?
What?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Would you keep a secret if you knew it would hurt
someone?
Hurt or protect?
Depends on the, or protect fora time period.
And then if they figured, outhurt.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The latter, let's go with that one?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You would keep it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yes, because my whole life a lot of secrets have been
kept from me to make me feellike safe and comfortable.
And even if two years went bywhere I felt secure and safe
(22:36):
based on those secrets beingkept from me, those two years
actually like solidified meunderstanding what like a family
was supposed to be, even ifapparently it was all lies.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Okay, I can see how that could.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fuck that kid up.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
How that could be.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
How that can fuck a kid up.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, I can see how it can fuck a kid, but also I
can see how it could easilyprotect him You're fucking a kid
.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
No, never Okay no Diddy, no Oprah, no Diddy List.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Literally, it's so many you can name any celebrity
hit them with a rock and boom,they're on it.
But that's a whole othersubject, y'all.
I guess if I knew that therewas a secret that could hurt
someone, depending on the secret, I probably would have to tell
(23:50):
them, depending on the secret,and hope for the best.
Because sometimes when you tellpeople, you can end
relationships Because they don'tbelieve you or they just think
you're jealous of them,especially when women tell other
women's secrets.
But I think when it comes to,let's say, a kid, you do have to
(24:13):
protect them Because you wantthem to be as innocent as
possible.
And so, yeah, there's secrets.
Now, does it suck when you knowthe truth?
If you find out the truth, yeah, sometimes, and sometimes,
hopefully, you're mature enoughto kind of realize, like, I see
how this is.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
This is why no, there's inner workings of every
relationship.
It doesn't matter if you're akid, it doesn't matter if you're
uninformed, it doesn't matterif X, y, z and the really scary
(24:58):
thing to me in stepping into afurther stage of relationships
because I've always cut them offAll my examples of
relationships have been terrible, it's just all bad.
You have to understand that thevery young relationship you're
(25:27):
getting into, that person you'regetting into that young
relationship with, has arelationship with four other
people that if you do one thingwrong she will ditch you to go
to the relationship that hasnever been beneficial to her.
But it's just a cyclical natureof liking to be hurt, so you
(25:52):
can't.
You just got to understand that, like my relationship-wise,
based on my family, me and youhave talked about it, anna I've
had a very weird growth andthat's why I talk the way I do,
(26:13):
that's why I understand aboutpeople the way I do, that's why
I have the empathy the way thatI do, because you come into this
world alone, you die alone andI don't think other people
understand that.
(26:34):
I've lived majority of my lifementally alone, majority of my
life mentally alone, and it'shard when people say they care
like, try to put their footforward or try to actually
matter in my life.
It's like, okay, okay, but yougrew up in fucking Spring Hill,
(27:01):
to where you had everythinggiven to you.
You didn't grow up like Ifucking grew up, so don't sit
there and look at me like that.
And then when they look at me,when I tell people that it's
like, oh, it's just puppy dog.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
(27:22):
Do you need a home?
Do you need Sarah McLachlan tosing and give you a warm hug?
No, bitch, I'm fine.
Just have some empathy.
And then everybody just thinkstheir story is the saddest.
I don't give a fuck if your momdied.
(27:43):
Oh, I'm sorry that now your newparents are funding you to live
in one of the richest fuckingplaces.
Just shut the fuck up, okay.
(28:04):
Okay, that was how long.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
How long did I just?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
talk.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I don't know, but what is our um, our uh sit on
this.
No, I feel like we need.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I have one question okay, okay, my bad, is that okay
, yeah, yeah, I mean, we haven'talso, it hasn't even hit an
hour yet, so no it has not.
We also didn't Green Onionslisteners prep for this podcast
at all.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, Because it's been quite some time since we
recorded Busy, busy.
We've both been busy.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
No, anna's been busy Okay yes, I've been busy.
She's rescheduled, she's feltbad, she's had migraines.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I'm sorry, I'm old, her period cramps?
No, no, period cramps, but I'vebeen old, I'm old, you know,
I'm a particular age.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So, with that being said, I probably just need to
start driving to her.
He would probably cry.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
He'd probably be like why am I lost?
It's far.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You don't know the places.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I've driven.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's the country.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
One time when I was 16, just got my driver's license
, I drove to Atlanta becausethis girl promised me some pussy
.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And there was none here in Tennessee, none.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Nope, drove four hours.
I had basketball practice thatmorning at 9 am.
We fucked Her dad, walked in.
I ran out of that house inAtlanta in the suburbs, naked
with my clothes in my hands,drove back, balled out, all
(29:57):
right.
The question I have for you,anna, is to be young what are
you the go-to person for in yourfamily or social circle?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
what am I the go-to person for?
in your family and or socialcircle well, let me start with
my family, because I was inarizona, spent time with my
brother and sister-in-law, whichis very lovely.
Um, we don't get an opportunityto do that very often, but one
thing we did joke about, andthen I thought about it
afterwards my home has become anorphanage a little bit.
(30:35):
People can definitely depend onme when it comes to providing a
home for people who need a home.
Now, it's not always kidsSometimes.
Sometimes it's adults, butthat's been the thing for a
while now quite some time, Iguess, ever since my dad had
(30:58):
passed, but that's been thething.
As far as my friends go, theycan always expect me to be there
, no matter what Good, bad,they're, wrong or right.
I'm going to show up, and ninetimes out of ten I'm going to
participate.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Excuse you.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And I'm going to participate in whatever they got
going on.
So it is what it is.
You know what about you?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
what was the question ?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
you know, I had to relook at it too.
That's why I didn't react yousaid what about you?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
um, what are you?
The go-to person in your family, uh.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I feel like it develops with age.
I think when I was growing up,I was always the person that
(32:08):
tried to make everybody laughand was having existential
crisis, even as a kid.
But if you're an empath like Iam, you understand that
everybody in your orbit isprobably having an existential
(32:31):
crisis, so you just want to likefuck yours, yours doesn't
matter.
How do I just make the otherpeople in my life feel like
comfort?
And that was probably theinitial experience of that, and
(32:55):
now I'm probably the pariah ofthat.
And now I'm probably the pariah.
I'm probably the guy thatpeople don't want to be around.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
What about your social circle?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Probably the same.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
sure I beg to differ that.
Inform me.
Inform me about how.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
As far as our social circle no, you're the one we're
like.
What's Noah doing?
What about Noah?
What about Noah?
What about Noah?
We want you to be around and Ithink somewhere in your head,
you do like being around too.
I do like to be around as faras your family goes, I don't
(33:45):
know, but I know you're no, myfamily.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I've elevated my family to be too cool to where
they think they don't need me,but they've just stayed at a
baseline of coolness based onwhere I got them at the baseline
of coolness.
It's the same with all my exestoo.
They're just gonna stay at thatsame lame spot because they
didn't ride it out with the guythat got them to that spot.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's very all depressing towards the end.
Well, I could have elevatedeverybody Honestly.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
That was very all depressing towards the end.
Well, I I kind of elevatedeverybody Honestly.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Wow, what else is going on?
Good god, besides the hoes.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Not even hoes, or the young ladies, I don't know.
Apparently I'm just depressed.
Apparently this podcast broughtout that I'm just.
Was it just mostly?
Should we start over?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
we're in it to win at this point yeah, you're right,
I'm sorry audio listeners.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
you're right, I'm sorry audio listeners.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
If you're still there , they're probably like hold on,
we are done with this one.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No existential crisis-wise people need to
listen to podcasts and haveexistential crises.
I'm losing my shit because thatdumbass broad, because that
dumbass broad man, this wholepodcast has been oh, I found the
(35:26):
one, and then, nope, she'sretarded.
And then, oh, I found the nextone, and then, nope, she's
fucking dumb as hell.
And then, oh, I found, and Idon't.
Is it me?
It might be me.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Do you watch any Disney movies?
I don't Because, but no, no, nolisten.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Like Camp Frog.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
They all kiss something unusual, like a frog
or something.
Then it turns into a prince.
You're going to kiss a wholelot of frogs before the one
turns into a princess.
You don't know me, but I'vebeen fucking frogs I've kissed.
You're kissing.
I haven't even kissed.
You're kissing frogs in thisdamn town.
(36:12):
I haven't even kissed frogs.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I've kissed pigs.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, they might turn into Miss Piggy, damn it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
No, they've all just been Miss Piggy.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
And FYI, you keep getting them here.
Who cares?
It does matter, it ain'tworking for you.
You gotta change up the scenery.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Man and these bitches are gonna be fine being with
Morgan Wallen wannabe on atractor trailer that doesn't
even run with a faultytransmission.
They're gonna be fine with thatguy.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Don't we have a friend like that?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's what I mean.
And girls are just contentbeing around like a copy paste
motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
And honestly, it makes them feel comfortable
because they don't have toactually like work on themselves
to match the guy that they'rewith because he's just copy
paste stupid that makes senseactually Anything else you want
(37:23):
to get off your chest?
Yep, I have the sit on this.
The sit on this for today.
It's from the Book of Awakeningby Mark Nepo.
(37:47):
It is what day is it?
The 30th?
November 30th.
And by Mark Nepo.
It says what we hold dear, andwhat we hold dear can heal the
(38:11):
world November 30th.
There is an ancient story of agroup of pilgrims searching for
the Holy Land.
They wandered for days to thebank of a very wide river.
It was too deep to cross andthere was nothing to build with.
(38:36):
One of the pilgrims prayed forguidance and a voice appeared,
urging each to give up somethingthey held dear.
From this they could build araft for only that which they
held dear.
From this they could build araft for only that which they
held dear would be strong enoughto hold them up as they crossed
(39:01):
into the Holy Land.
There was immediate conflictand suspicion.
The one who heard the voice wasaccused of trying to steal what
mattered most to everyone.
Finally, four of the strandedpilgrims agreed Each offered
(39:26):
what seemed useless to theothers A stone, a feather, a
piece of driftwood, a page froma book.
No one understood.
Mysteriously, as they slept,the dearness they had placed In.
(39:47):
These things flowed togetherand they woke up to find A
magnificent raft.
Once, on the other side theother who had gave up the
feather heard another voice.
It said that the Holy Land wasright where they had landed.
The four pilgrims settled onthe far bank within view of the
(40:09):
other who would not cross it.
That night they burned the raftto cook their food and the
voices told them that the holyland is wherever.
What you hold dear holds you upand then turns to food.
(40:30):
The wisdom carried in theancient myth is what we fear is
most private mysteriouslybelongs to everyone.
That is once shared.
The things we hold dear releasea power that is healing.
This is not to say that weshould give up what is healing
(40:57):
us in the midst of its becomingdear to us.
Rather, the story urges us torelinquish personal icons, icons
so that they may continue toheal others.
It reminds me of the relic ofthe saint someone gave me when I
(41:22):
was ill A cheap a chip of bonefrom someone centuries ago who
began a religion I was not partof.
But as I held this relic andprayed and worried and sweat
(41:52):
through my tear, it becameprecious to me once.
Well, it became a sacred charmfor me, until one day the person
who gave it to me felt terriblyill and needed it back.
I was afraid to give up andfelt naked without it, but
(42:15):
giving it up made everythingholy.
I have since, when the timeproved right, given away other
precious things.
I have lived with crystals andbooks and personal treasures I
have long enshrined for.
(42:37):
Only in use do they againbecome healing.
It is the giving of what isdear that helps us cross the
river.
Deer that helps us cross theriver.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Alrighty With that, we'll leave you guys.
You guys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Was that too much?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
That one was long.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
It was so long.
It was, and I stumbled so much.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
And it's okay.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I feel like I fell in the river.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Ugh Well, I'll throw you a life jacket, unless you
know how to swim real well.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Simply breathe now, with a willingness to know if
and when such a moment mightcome.
Man, why does this book alwayswant me to come?
Speaker 1 (43:38):
With that being said, you guys have a great and
blessed rest of your week.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Noah and I are going to potentially eat some good
food and have a drink, but youguys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
I'm sober.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
And we're out.
Okay, that was like 45 minutes.
That was a short one.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Was that that bad, though?
Like are we?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
going to cut some of this.
Are you gonna stop this video?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
no, it's fine, it was did.
Was that too long?
Should we cut that?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
that's fine, this was fine, but man, you, that little
girl.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Was that a lot?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Every.
I don't even know what I asked.
It was something.
I asked one of these damnquestions.
In some way, you found a way totie it in and I was sitting
here like this.
I was like, wait, hold on.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
What the?
Speaker 1 (44:44):
hell are we talking about?
I was like I'm getting confused.
What's happening right now?
I'm like I'm going to have tounroll.
That was a lot.
Yeah, that.

I you know, it was the kids'first Thanksgiving with us and I

Anna, what's your favoritedessert At this?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
current moment it is cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What flavor Plain, just plain cheesecake, just
plain cheesecake, and I don'treally like New York cheesecake
all the time, but Publix has avery good.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
New York cheesecake yeah, yeah so whatever you just
said doesn't make any sense tome.
My favorite dessert is I havedrumsticks in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What's your favorite drumstick?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I got the classic one .
The chocolate One was good.
The.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Like the caramel one.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's my favorite Vanilla with caramel in the
middle On the top, and then youeat low.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And it's chocolate.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Those are really good .
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Especially when it gets melty at the bottom.
I have not tried.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
whatever the third one is, I should probably look
and see what the third one is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It's probably just a plain one, Like it's nothing
exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
We won't acknowledge that.
As a person, it's like thethey-thems you just don't
acknowledge those.
As a person, it's like the theythems you just don't
acknowledge those as people, notthe they thems.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, wow, wow, noah.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, what's next?
What is the Daily Stoic fortoday?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen
Hasselman for November 30th isFollow the Logos.
The person who follows reasonin all things will have both
leisure and a readiness to act.
They are at once both cheerfuland self-composed.
(04:03):
Marcus Aurelius, marcus.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Aurelius.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Aurelius Meditations 10.12b.
Ai told me Aurelius.
Let me continue.
The guiding reason of the world, the Stoics called this the
Logos Works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes the Logos gives uswhat we want.
(04:30):
Other times it gives usprecisely what we do not want.
In either case, they believedthat the Logos was an
all-powerful force that governedthe universe, force that
governs the universe.
There is a helpful analogy toexplain the logos we are like a
dog leash to a moving cart.
(04:50):
The direction of the cart willdetermine where we go, depending
on the length of the leash.
We also have a fair amount ofroom to explore and determine
the pace, but ultimately, whateach of us must choose is
whether we will go willfully orpainfully dragged.
Which will it be?
Cheerful acceptance or ignorantrefusal?
(05:13):
In the end, they amount to thesame.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Drag me in the infinite refusal.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So you're going to be the drag me okay.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, can you reread it ?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You want me to reread ?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
it.
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He is not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I've had a lot happen .
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I know you have, but it's all good can you sum it up?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
not really, but so there's logos, so there's logos.
I feel like we should justre-read it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
There's logos, and the logos are what determines,
you know, gives us what we wantor, other times, what we do not
want, and this is what is theforce of the universe.
So, as we're all over herethinking, oh, the universe will
provide, there's something elsebehind the universe Universe.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Universe.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Universe Called logos , called logos else behind the
universe universe.
Universe universe called logos,called logos, which I, you know
, I never heard of this wholelogos thing before.
Um, but it just basically sayswe are like dogs on a leash to a
moving cart.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
so I feel like everybody else is.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Everybody else is Not you.
Yeah, I feel like I'm the car.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You're the car, no the car.
I feel like I'm draggingeverybody else.
That's good and it's how I feel, sometimes like it's too much.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Funny that you say something like that.
So I can't remember the exactverse in the bible, but you know
how like we think and I'm notsaying like you and me
specifically, but people ingeneral believe that we are to
fill other people's cups.
And the way the guy explainedit he's like but think about it,
(07:27):
you're always drained, you'realways tired.
He's like no, he's like cuprunneth over.
They're supposed to get yourdrippings.
Your cup is supposed to berunning over.
They're supposed to get yourdrippings because you're not
supposed to be drained and tiredfrom you know, feeding into
people, especially people whogive two craps about you and
that's kind of what this isreminding me of this
(07:49):
conversation right now is you'relike man.
I feel like I'm dragging otherpeople because you're you're
feeding into them.
They're not feeding into youand clearly your cup is running
over and they're taking, taking,taking plus.
You're feeding into them CauseI know I can definitely say at
work you definitely do that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
you definitely put a lot into people no, and that's
something that's semi hard forme to understand, is it's?
I will not even just at work,like you said, I will pour
(08:32):
myself into.
Even if myself needs a top off,like, even if, like, mentally,
physically, I need a top off andto like fill up as a human, I
(08:57):
will still take the fluid thatwas supposed to top myself off,
pause and pour it into everybodyelse.
I really will.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You do, you do, and I think that's why you get
mentally drained a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I do Even with the situation today.
It's sitting there being likewere you just?
Looking for something.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Because you being around me and saying what you
just said, all you do is give toeverybody else X, y, z.
I know I do that and forsomebody that I'm supposed to
care about to not see that, itmakes me feel like a piece of
shit.
It makes me feel very minute.
(09:51):
And then when you make somebodythat's giving themselves is
probably a narcissist, and thenyou make that person feel that
(10:15):
way, it makes them feel so tinyand I don't think the narcissist
understands that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, they don't, no, absolutely.
They don't.
Think the narcissistunderstands that.
No, they don't, no, absolutelythey don't.
And that's why, when people getout of those situations with a
narcissist and there are severaldifferent narcissists, but when
they do, they do they feel likeemotionally drained, they feel
mentally drained.
It's almost like you hit themover and over.
I mean they, they feel likereally defeated and a lot of
(10:46):
them come out of theirrelationships, um, like they
have been abused.
They, they have low self-esteem, um, so not me what happy.
You better, not everybody.
You better not.
Yes, yes, happy Thanksgiving Onthat note.
(11:11):
Well, actually, on a differentnote, we're going to come off
that note.
But you know, if everybody kindof think about that, you know,
about the logos, the universeThink about that Because the
goal is to be a better person.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was there anything that anybody heard from me?
I don't think so.
I'm getting over a sicknesscurrently.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What's the fastest way to your heart, Noah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Me.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're the fastest way to your own heart.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh Jesus, no, no.
Fastest way to my heart, it'sprobably comfortability.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Explain.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You make me feel like I don't have to put on or
attempt to be more than I justnaturally am.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, that's the fastest way to remember.
I don't care about any of thelovelings, I don't care about
gifts, I don't care aboutquality time, I don't care about
any of them.
They're all so stupid andthey're all so materialistic.
Even if it's just like qualitytime when that's not something
(12:52):
you can hold, it's just all veryeasy to put people in a box and
, no, my shit is like like, ifyou make me feel comfortable and
I like being around thatsituation and you an extension
(13:19):
of that situation, then, um,that's the way to move on I
think I gotta kind of bite thatnow that you explained it,
because I guess for me, likethat, that's kind of like the
thing, like if I can't tell youor be honest with you, then we
(13:42):
have no reason to even have anykind of relationship.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We don't need a friendship, I don't need, you
know, like I've got to becomfortable because you never
know.
Sometimes people just have tojust say what they have to say
and be done.
It doesn't have to drag on.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But also like.
The best friendships are whereyou feel comfortable with
somebody to say what you need tosay yeah and then understand
that, despite how hurtful whatyou need to say that person is,
it's not going to blow up in anargument and they're not going
to yell at you for 45 minutes.
Hence what I just went throughearlier today.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So Amen, hallelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh, I'm sorry.
You fuck somebody else and thenI'm dealing with the insecurity
of that Wee and yet you're ableto yell at me that I downloaded
Tinder at some point.
I hate you, dumbass broad.
Shut the fuck up, get out of myhouse, honestly.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Noah's had a rough day today unnecessarily
literally, unnecessarily roughday that just doesn't make sense
.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just, oh wow, I let you sleep in my house.
You were comfortable.
I didn't understand that stuffthat didn't exist over clicks of
thumbs was the thing that madeyou feel like I don't deserve
this.
Oh, you didn't deserve to sleepcomfortably somewhere.
(15:19):
You didn't deserve for me toget you glasses of water.
You didn't deserve for me toprovide everything for you that
night.
Yeah, go to the next JeffreyDahmer-ass motherfucker that's
gonna fucking do whatever thefuck they want to you and then
realize how good you fucking hadit with me.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's not Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Dahmer no, not me.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
They leave me and go to somebody.
That's a bum.
I'm a cockroach.
I will always survive and it'sfrustrating that these bitches
just pick the littlest thing ofme because they expect the
highest standard of me.
The highest standard of mecomparatively the next guy
(16:10):
they're gonna fuck is what's thelowest standard for the other
guys comparatively to my topstandard?
They probably need like a solidcrystal chandelier to be my
lowest standard, but they don'thave that.
(16:31):
And that's how high quality mylowest standard, but they don't
have that.
And that's how high qualityvalue man I am.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, that's going to be on someone's t-shirt Part of
it, not all of it.
It's a really long t-shirt.
Well, feel sorry for the person.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I feel sorry for the person I feel sorry for these
bitches that are going to wakeup in 10 years and understand
that they married a crack whoreand their baby has learning
disabilities.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh my gosh, we bind him and beat that in the name of
Jesus?
Let's hope not.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's just going to happen.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay, hope not, it's just gonna happen.
Okay, anything new happeningbesides that?
Like oh my god, that was a loteverybody that was definitely a
lot of vent right there was thattoo much to put on a podcast?
There's a great chance therewas, but here we are.
(17:38):
We're going to keep it rolling.
Okay, what is one thing youwish people would stop bragging
about?
Because I know for me, I hatewhen people.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I wish people would stop bragging about how they
think they're cool.
Oh, yep, that's what I wasgoing for, like, because I'm
like, if you are just thinkthey're the reason that like
like oh, I fucked you, oh, yourpussy's revolutionary that I'll
(18:11):
just keep coming back.
No, I've had more shit than you, it's not.
Honestly, it was smellier thanthe past one, so can we
understand?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
What was the question ?
What do you wish people wouldstop bragging about?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, I wish people would like get off their own
fucking high hours.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, my thing is, you don't need to tell me you're
cool, like, if you're tellingme you're cool, you're probably
not cool.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Have I told you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, no, I'm just saying, have I been telling you
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
no.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
No, you just come over here because you know I'm
cool.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, that's totally what it is, not that we have to,
you know, pay this high assrent in Cali, not that we're
contractually obligated.
Just to this mortgage.
But yeah, that's my.
I don't like that.
I hate when people tell methey're cool.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I'm like, let me determine if you're cool, Let me
determine if this is worth mytime, yeah also, just be like
content in yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, but I think people who brag Like people ask
me like what my body count isand shit.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And I'm like, oh, you keep track of that.
It's like when people ask mehow many tattoos I have.
It's like when people ask mehow many tattoos I have, it's
like the same shit.
It's like you keep track ofthat.
Like no, I set out when I gottattoos to just get them.
I don't think you can trackwhen you probably have a million
(19:51):
.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Like you don't set out to like go home and journal
and tally oh well, I got thisdot, I got this smiley face, I
got this.
No, you don't do that.
It's the same with body count.
Nobody fucking gives a fuckabout body count.
(20:18):
If you're asking me about bodycount, that automatically makes
me put you in the bracket ofstupid.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Damn just stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, just dumb, you've automatically lost like
mental points to me.
You've automatically lost likemental points to me Because it's
like oh, that's how simplisticyou view being somebody, like
with somebody.
Yeah, like, you view it thatdumbly.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's the same with tattoos.
Maybe they should be askingwhen was the last time you got
tested?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, they all need to be tested.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And they all look like they should be working on
the goddamn street.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh my gosh, oh boy, no, he's definitely been, y'all,
he's definitely been.
He's had a night even that cuntoh, no.
So, noah, noah, tell me more,tell me what would you keep a
(21:29):
secret if you knew it would hurtsomebody?
What would you keep a secret ifyou knew it would hurt somebody
?
What?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Would you keep a secret if you knew it would hurt
someone?
Hurt or protect?
Depends on the, or protect fora time period.
And then if they figured, outhurt.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The latter, let's go with that one?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You would keep it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yes, because my whole life a lot of secrets have been
kept from me to make me feellike safe and comfortable.
And even if two years went bywhere I felt secure and safe
(22:36):
based on those secrets beingkept from me, those two years
actually like solidified meunderstanding what like a family
was supposed to be, even ifapparently it was all lies.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Okay, I can see how that could.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fuck that kid up.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
How that could be.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
How that can fuck a kid up.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, I can see how it can fuck a kid, but also I
can see how it could easilyprotect him You're fucking a kid
.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
No, never Okay no Diddy, no Oprah, no Diddy List.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Literally, it's so many you can name any celebrity
hit them with a rock and boom,they're on it.
But that's a whole othersubject, y'all.
I guess if I knew that therewas a secret that could hurt
someone, depending on the secret, I probably would have to tell
(23:50):
them, depending on the secret,and hope for the best.
Because sometimes when you tellpeople, you can end
relationships Because they don'tbelieve you or they just think
you're jealous of them,especially when women tell other
women's secrets.
But I think when it comes to,let's say, a kid, you do have to
(24:13):
protect them Because you wantthem to be as innocent as
possible.
And so, yeah, there's secrets.
Now, does it suck when you knowthe truth?
If you find out the truth, yeah, sometimes, and sometimes,
hopefully, you're mature enoughto kind of realize, like, I see
how this is.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
This is why no, there's inner workings of every
relationship.
It doesn't matter if you're akid, it doesn't matter if you're
uninformed, it doesn't matterif X, y, z and the really scary
(24:58):
thing to me in stepping into afurther stage of relationships
because I've always cut them offAll my examples of
relationships have been terrible, it's just all bad.
You have to understand that thevery young relationship you're
(25:27):
getting into, that person you'regetting into that young
relationship with, has arelationship with four other
people that if you do one thingwrong she will ditch you to go
to the relationship that hasnever been beneficial to her.
But it's just a cyclical natureof liking to be hurt, so you
(25:52):
can't.
You just got to understand that, like my relationship-wise,
based on my family, me and youhave talked about it, anna I've
had a very weird growth andthat's why I talk the way I do,
(26:13):
that's why I understand aboutpeople the way I do, that's why
I have the empathy the way thatI do, because you come into this
world alone, you die alone andI don't think other people
understand that.
(26:34):
I've lived majority of my lifementally alone, majority of my
life mentally alone, and it'shard when people say they care
like, try to put their footforward or try to actually
matter in my life.
It's like, okay, okay, but yougrew up in fucking Spring Hill,
(27:01):
to where you had everythinggiven to you.
You didn't grow up like Ifucking grew up, so don't sit
there and look at me like that.
And then when they look at me,when I tell people that it's
like, oh, it's just puppy dog.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
(27:22):
Do you need a home?
Do you need Sarah McLachlan tosing and give you a warm hug?
No, bitch, I'm fine.
Just have some empathy.
And then everybody just thinkstheir story is the saddest.
I don't give a fuck if your momdied.
(27:43):
Oh, I'm sorry that now your newparents are funding you to live
in one of the richest fuckingplaces.
Just shut the fuck up, okay.
(28:04):
Okay, that was how long.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
How long did I just?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
talk.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I don't know, but what is our um, our uh sit on
this.
No, I feel like we need.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I have one question okay, okay, my bad, is that okay
, yeah, yeah, I mean, we haven'talso, it hasn't even hit an
hour yet, so no it has not.
We also didn't Green Onionslisteners prep for this podcast
at all.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, Because it's been quite some time since we
recorded Busy, busy.
We've both been busy.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
No, anna's been busy Okay yes, I've been busy.
She's rescheduled, she's feltbad, she's had migraines.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I'm sorry, I'm old, her period cramps?
No, no, period cramps, but I'vebeen old, I'm old, you know,
I'm a particular age.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So, with that being said, I probably just need to
start driving to her.
He would probably cry.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
He'd probably be like why am I lost?
It's far.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You don't know the places.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I've driven.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's the country.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
One time when I was 16, just got my driver's license
, I drove to Atlanta becausethis girl promised me some pussy
.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And there was none here in Tennessee, none.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Nope, drove four hours.
I had basketball practice thatmorning at 9 am.
We fucked Her dad, walked in.
I ran out of that house inAtlanta in the suburbs, naked
with my clothes in my hands,drove back, balled out, all
(29:57):
right.
The question I have for you,anna, is to be young what are
you the go-to person for in yourfamily or social circle?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
what am I the go-to person for?
in your family and or socialcircle well, let me start with
my family, because I was inarizona, spent time with my
brother and sister-in-law, whichis very lovely.
Um, we don't get an opportunityto do that very often, but one
thing we did joke about, andthen I thought about it
afterwards my home has become anorphanage a little bit.
(30:35):
People can definitely depend onme when it comes to providing a
home for people who need a home.
Now, it's not always kidsSometimes.
Sometimes it's adults, butthat's been the thing for a
while now quite some time, Iguess, ever since my dad had
(30:58):
passed, but that's been thething.
As far as my friends go, theycan always expect me to be there
, no matter what Good, bad,they're, wrong or right.
I'm going to show up, and ninetimes out of ten I'm going to
participate.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Excuse you.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And I'm going to participate in whatever they got
going on.
So it is what it is.
You know what about you?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
what was the question ?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
you know, I had to relook at it too.
That's why I didn't react yousaid what about you?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
um, what are you?
The go-to person in your family, uh.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I feel like it develops with age.
I think when I was growing up,I was always the person that
(32:08):
tried to make everybody laughand was having existential
crisis, even as a kid.
But if you're an empath like Iam, you understand that
everybody in your orbit isprobably having an existential
(32:31):
crisis, so you just want to likefuck yours, yours doesn't
matter.
How do I just make the otherpeople in my life feel like
comfort?
And that was probably theinitial experience of that, and
(32:55):
now I'm probably the pariah ofthat.
And now I'm probably the pariah.
I'm probably the guy thatpeople don't want to be around.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
What about your social circle?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Probably the same.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
sure I beg to differ that.
Inform me.
Inform me about how.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
As far as our social circle no, you're the one we're
like.
What's Noah doing?
What about Noah?
What about Noah?
What about Noah?
We want you to be around and Ithink somewhere in your head,
you do like being around too.
I do like to be around as faras your family goes, I don't
(33:45):
know, but I know you're no, myfamily.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I've elevated my family to be too cool to where
they think they don't need me,but they've just stayed at a
baseline of coolness based onwhere I got them at the baseline
of coolness.
It's the same with all my exestoo.
They're just gonna stay at thatsame lame spot because they
didn't ride it out with the guythat got them to that spot.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's very all depressing towards the end.
Well, I could have elevatedeverybody Honestly.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
That was very all depressing towards the end.
Well, I I kind of elevatedeverybody Honestly.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Wow, what else is going on?
Good god, besides the hoes.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Not even hoes, or the young ladies, I don't know.
Apparently I'm just depressed.
Apparently this podcast broughtout that I'm just.
Was it just mostly?
Should we start over?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
we're in it to win at this point yeah, you're right,
I'm sorry audio listeners.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
you're right, I'm sorry audio listeners.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
If you're still there , they're probably like hold on,
we are done with this one.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No existential crisis-wise people need to
listen to podcasts and haveexistential crises.
I'm losing my shit because thatdumbass broad, because that
dumbass broad man, this wholepodcast has been oh, I found the
(35:26):
one, and then, nope, she'sretarded.
And then, oh, I found the nextone, and then, nope, she's
fucking dumb as hell.
And then, oh, I found, and Idon't.
Is it me?
It might be me.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Do you watch any Disney movies?
I don't Because, but no, no, nolisten.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Like Camp Frog.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
They all kiss something unusual, like a frog
or something.
Then it turns into a prince.
You're going to kiss a wholelot of frogs before the one
turns into a princess.
You don't know me, but I'vebeen fucking frogs I've kissed.
You're kissing.
I haven't even kissed.
You're kissing frogs in thisdamn town.
(36:12):
I haven't even kissed frogs.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I've kissed pigs.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, they might turn into Miss Piggy, damn it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
No, they've all just been Miss Piggy.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
And FYI, you keep getting them here.
Who cares?
It does matter, it ain'tworking for you.
You gotta change up the scenery.

Man and these bitches are gonna be fine being with
Morgan Wallen wannabe on atractor trailer that doesn't
even run with a faultytransmission.
They're gonna be fine with thatguy.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Don't we have a friend like that?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's what I mean.
And girls are just contentbeing around like a copy paste
motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
And honestly, it makes them feel comfortable
because they don't have toactually like work on themselves
to match the guy that they'rewith because he's just copy
paste stupid that makes senseactually Anything else you want
(37:23):
to get off your chest?
Yep, I have the sit on this.
The sit on this for today.
It's from the Book of Awakeningby Mark Nepo.
(37:47):
It is what day is it?
The 30th?
November 30th.
And by Mark Nepo.
It says what we hold dear, andwhat we hold dear can heal the
(38:11):
world November 30th.
There is an ancient story of agroup of pilgrims searching for
the Holy Land.
They wandered for days to thebank of a very wide river.
It was too deep to cross andthere was nothing to build with.
(38:36):
One of the pilgrims prayed forguidance and a voice appeared,
urging each to give up somethingthey held dear.
From this they could build araft for only that which they
held dear.
From this they could build araft for only that which they
held dear would be strong enoughto hold them up as they crossed
(39:01):
into the Holy Land.
There was immediate conflictand suspicion.
The one who heard the voice wasaccused of trying to steal what
mattered most to everyone.
Finally, four of the strandedpilgrims agreed Each offered
(39:26):
what seemed useless to theothers A stone, a feather, a
piece of driftwood, a page froma book.
No one understood.
Mysteriously, as they slept,the dearness they had placed In.
(39:47):
These things flowed togetherand they woke up to find A
magnificent raft.
Once, on the other side theother who had gave up the
feather heard another voice.
It said that the Holy Land wasright where they had landed.
The four pilgrims settled onthe far bank within view of the
(40:09):
other who would not cross it.
That night they burned the raftto cook their food and the
voices told them that the holyland is wherever.
What you hold dear holds you upand then turns to food.
(40:30):
The wisdom carried in theancient myth is what we fear is
most private mysteriouslybelongs to everyone.
That is once shared.
The things we hold dear releasea power that is healing.
This is not to say that weshould give up what is healing
(40:57):
us in the midst of its becomingdear to us.
Rather, the story urges us torelinquish personal icons, icons
so that they may continue toheal others.
It reminds me of the relic ofthe saint someone gave me when I
(41:22):
was ill A cheap a chip of bonefrom someone centuries ago who
began a religion I was not partof.
But as I held this relic andprayed and worried and sweat
(41:52):
through my tear, it becameprecious to me once.
Well, it became a sacred charmfor me, until one day the person
who gave it to me felt terriblyill and needed it back.
I was afraid to give up andfelt naked without it, but
(42:15):
giving it up made everythingholy.
I have since, when the timeproved right, given away other
precious things.
I have lived with crystals andbooks and personal treasures I
have long enshrined for.
(42:37):
Only in use do they againbecome healing.
It is the giving of what isdear that helps us cross the
river.
Deer that helps us cross theriver.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Alrighty With that, we'll leave you guys.
You guys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Was that too much?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
That one was long.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
It was so long.
It was, and I stumbled so much.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
And it's okay.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I feel like I fell in the river.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Ugh Well, I'll throw you a life jacket, unless you
know how to swim real well.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Simply breathe now, with a willingness to know if
and when such a moment mightcome.
Man, why does this book alwayswant me to come?
Speaker 1 (43:38):
With that being said, you guys have a great and
blessed rest of your week.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Noah and I are going to potentially eat some good
food and have a drink, but youguys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
I'm sober.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
And we're out.
Okay, that was like 45 minutes.
That was a short one.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Was that that bad, though?
Like are we?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
going to cut some of this.
Are you gonna stop this video?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
no, it's fine, it was did.
Was that too long?
Should we cut that?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
that's fine, this was fine, but man, you, that little
girl.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Was that a lot?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Every.
I don't even know what I asked.
It was something.
I asked one of these damnquestions.
In some way, you found a way totie it in and I was sitting
here like this.
I was like, wait, hold on.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
What the?
Speaker 1 (44:44):
hell are we talking about?
I was like I'm getting confused.
What's happening right now?
I'm like I'm going to have tounroll.
That was a lot.
Yeah, that.
