Speaker 1 (03:09):

Speaker 2 (03:10):
this is the time that they're just like all right,
I'm not, I don't want to doanything.
Speaker 1 (03:15):

Ooh laundry.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I'm like laundry.
Okay, you try doing laundry fora household of five.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh, I forget Getting up making breakfast.
I forget.
That's what you do, you know,makes my problems pale.
My problems pale in comparison.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, telling the little children to be quiet,
stop running around.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, no, not my plan .
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you know what am I saying?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
How was your week?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Good, good, interesting, but it was good as
overall had a hard conversationwith friend and, yeah, which you
know me, I'm a walk away, cutyou off kind of person yeah we,
we don't have to address it.
You, you're, you're grown up,you should know what's going on
in life.
But we did.
We had a hard conversation.
(04:19):
It was great because actually,once I left here because we did
our episode, that didn't pan outso well well, the episode was
phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was just some recording issue being listenable
.
That was the thing that theprocess didn't want to proceed.
On the process, the processdidn't want to proceed but I
ended up actually chit chattingwith her.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
as I was watching a movie last night which, by the
way, blink Twice is a good movieby Channing Tatum, I got to say
that's some of his oh, is thatlike the thriller?
Kind of yes it's some of hisbest work it is.
It's basically about power andcontrol.
So if you're and I'm talkingabout like diddy shit, like like
(05:04):
just kind of you know braceyourself or don't watch it.
But it is definitely ChanningTatum's best work.
But anywho, we ended up talking.
But you know we're getting backto that place where we used to
be, slowly but surely.
But that was a goodconversation.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm glad I had it, you know, yeah, I mean.
Conversations like that are thebread and butter of just
humanity, in my opinion.
Like to get anywhere inanything, you're going to have
to have hard conversations.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, well, yeah, apparently.
Yeah, I think to just be likeyou're cut off, done.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You remember, like did you have those friends where
it was like it was always thesame and when you see them, like
once in a while, it's fine,because you know it's always
going to be the same.
Oh yeah, you get in the samekind of routine, mm-hmm, and
they're still doing the samething.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And like it's like I can't yeah we out, yeah we out.
Like there has to be some pushagainst the status quo to keep
my mind a little entertained,mm-hmm, in a positive way, not
in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, I completely agree with you on
that.
But and then?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
of course you know just kid issues which you know,
know, it's fine, it's a it's a,it's a growing pain as we.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a process within a process, yeah, especially as
we're growing as a family andthen jerry and I are still
growing as individuals and as acouple.
Yeah, then you add, two littlepersonalities are on a whole
nother level.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Just on top of the on top.
Right, so, um, it's all good,but I, whereas I'm over here
just trying to figure out my owncrap.
And then and you got like eightother plates to juggle.
So if we were in the circusyou'd get all the, you'd get all
(07:04):
the attendance.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That I hope not.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It would just be me.
Well like if we were platejugglers, most of the people
would cheer for you.
I think that would be.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I get another job in the circus.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can we do something that isn't just, oh my man.
Well, we do have a readingtoday, don't we?
A little bit of a reading a?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
little food for thought for y'all awesome.
And it comes to you by thedaily stoic by ryan holiday and
steven hanselman which we havebeen reading yes, ever since
passionately yes, and now we arestill reading it.
You're welcome.
So on this beautiful day ofJanuary 25th, I'll be reading
(07:54):
the Only Prize, what's left tobe prized?
This, I think, to limit ouraction or inaction to only
what's keeping in with the needsof our own preparation.
It's what the exertions ofeducation and teaching are all
about.
Here is the thing to be prized.
If you hold this firmly, you'llstop trying to get yourself all
(08:20):
the other things.
If you don't, you won't be free, self-sufficient or liberated
from passion, but necessarilyfull of envy, jealousy and
suspicion for any who have thepower to take them, and you'll
(08:58):
plot against those who do havewhat you prize.
But by having some self-respectfor your own mind and praising
it, you will please yourself andbe in a better harmony with
your fellow human beings andmore in tune with the gods,
praising everything they haveset in order and allotted you.
That's Marcus AureliusMeditations.
Aurelius aurelius meditations.
Warren buffett, whose net worthis approximately 65 billion,
lives in the same house hebought in 1958 for 31 500.
John urschel alignment for thebaltimore ras makes millions but
(09:22):
managed to live on $25,000 ayear.
San Antonio Spurs' KawhiLeonard gets around in the 1997
Chevy Tahoe.
he's had since he was a teenager, even with a contract worth
some $94 million.
Why?
It's not because these men arecheap.
(09:43):
It's because the things thatmatter to them are cheap.
Neither Buffett, nor Urschel,nor Leonard ended up this way by
accident.
Their lifestyle is the resultof prioritizing.
They cultivate interests thatare decidingly below their
financial means and, as a result, any income will allow them
(10:06):
freedom to pursue the thingsthey most care about.
It just happens that theybecame wealthy beyond any
expectation.
This kind of clarity about whatthey love most in the world
means they can enjoy their lives.
It means they'll still be happyeven if the markets were to
turn on or their careers werecut short by injury.
(10:30):
The more things we desire andthe more we have to do to earn
or attain those achievements,the less we actually enjoy our
lives and the less free we are.
Wow, that was good.
That was good.
That was wow.
Enjoy our lives.
And the less free we are.
Wow, that was good that wasgood, that was wow.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Kind of sounded like if you have a job you love, you
never work a day in your life.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Or kind of tying into our budget thing like
priorities and stuff like themoney doesn't have to be the
sole focus of um, whether it begift giving, saving, whatever
it's more thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's definitely why, you know
, I put out that challenge.
You know the 50, 30, 20 rule,or, in some people's cases,
because you know, put out thatchallenge.
You know the 50, 30, 20 rule,yep, or, in some people's cases,
because you know they, theyneed a little time to get there.
We got the 55, 35, 10 rollbrought to you by the green
onions podcast, but, um,actually that was pretty amazing
(11:38):
.
Like I knew warren buffettbecause I have a book by him.
So you you know, I'm definitelyimpressed by him, Kawhi.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Leonard has been somebody I've been following
forever.
He was one of the only likeplayers at the time when LeBron
was on the Lakers that was ableto defend LeBron and then he a
very injury-speckled career, buthe's always been one of the
(12:05):
hardest workers and like aninsane athlete, so I did know
that about him.
He's the guy that had thereally bad meme laugh Like when
he was with Toronto he was likethe guy to deliver a
championship to the TorontoRaptors, like off a one-off.
Like that guy.
I didn't know that, he was verywell, not stingy, but he.
That guy, I didn't know that hewas very well, not stingy, but
(12:25):
he he just didn't he didn't gowith like beyond his means, and
that's great, which I feel like.
If you're going beyond your ornot, because it wouldn't even be
beyond his means, I feel likeit hits a point.
You're spending money for otherpeople as opposed to like for
your own happiness, and I feellike that's the difference there
(12:46):
, because he doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Kind of understands that he doesn't have to put on a
persona when he is the persona.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I like it, I love it.
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I learned our yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Actually, our yesterday was actually in
February.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, it was in February.
Yeah, yeah, okay, that was methen that was, I kind of messed
that up yeah you're telling methere's 23 days in february too
seriously, it wasn't a leap yearso it just worked out very well
.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Have you ever heard of the impossible puzzle?
No okay, so I was on the amazon.
I don't know what I was exactlythe amazon, the amazon, the
bezos because you know darn goodas well, my car on amazon is
ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it's like 4 000 things yeah well, it was
actually 2 000 right.
I wasn't even joking at four no, it wasn't two't two.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, it was about 2000.
Jesus, but you know, I take off.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't even know 2000 things that exist.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, I'm going to have to have a Warren Buffett
mindset going forward.
It's like windowed down to onething.
But anyways, I've seen theImpossible Puzzle.
It's a clear puzzle.
Thinking about buying it, Iwould do it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Growing up I used to just puzzle all the time.
I got the nickname the PuzzleMaster and we used to have a ton
of puzzles where it would getto the point where I'd just
memorize them so I'd be able tojust finish like an 1,000-piece
one in like an afternoon.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
See, that's what's up .
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, because my parents didn't let me have like
a smartphone until a lot later,so it was like bike riding or if
it rained I would have to likefind other means so I'd read
books also.
Have you series?
unfortunate events we weretalking about doing something
like book club wise yes, yes and, like cS Lewis, right, we had
(14:46):
that conversation last episode.
But I was thinking after ourconversation last night on the
podcast, the unknown podcast,that will never come out.
I was thinking of Series ofUnfortunate Events is a really
easy series to get throughbecause, they're super easy, but
they're also like very good.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Disregarding the Neil Patrick Harris show because
that shows butt.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
But jim carrey's movie is good growing up I used
to watch that.
I watch that all the time, butyes that we have all the books
yes, that will be our first onethrough 13 yes, that would be
the first thing we will read,and because I always get to like
book the misery mill orsomething like that I think,
(15:32):
that's like six or seven, itmight be four, yeah, it's four.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Um, I I always get there if I'm trying to reread
the series and I can't like.
I'm like okay, I'm done, and Ifeel like, if I have, we can
yeah, exchange, and we'll throwthat on our website as well I
love those on the instagram soon the insta yeah, and anybody
wants to join us and talk aboutit and have a discussion?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
let's do it.
Let's do it, let's do it andalso look out for our episode
kind of low stakes too, you knowlook out for our episode, for
our um.
Well, it's not ours, it'snoah's recipe for his pot roast
pot roast so so, but always lookout every week for you know a
(16:20):
new recipe on our youtubechannel yeah, we're you, we'll
get better, we'll get better.
Actually, yeah, y'all know howwe started stuff up we don't
know what we're doing, but hell,we'll try it'll, it'll figure
it'll, it'll work itself out italways does exactly oh,
grasshopper sohopper LittleJiminy Cricket.
(16:41):
Talking about that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
so Yammy watched Pinocchio for the first time,
which isn't Pinocchio, like Ithink all the old Disney
cartoons, are actuallyterrifying.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Isn't that like?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
the Brothers Grimm, or whatever, actually terrifying
.
Well, isn't that like?
Like the brother's grammar,whatever that the like the
original writers of, like Hanseland Gretel, for example?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
and all these like old things are just that.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
They're terrifying actually.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's why it's easy to do like horror adaptation but
are they terrifying really, oror are the kids nowadays
sensitive as heck?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
no, I think when they wrote them I don't know if it
was near or close to the GreatDepression, but I think around
the time of a lot of really badthings happening is where people
came up with these fantasystories and they were actually
super dark.
So when they got a hold of thenew, it was a show I watched as
(17:43):
a kid.
It was an ABC show that jumpedthe shark way too soon Once Upon
a Time.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh, I love that show.
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So it's kind of like that when they originally wrote
the stories it was a lot darker,like I mean.
In a nutshell, you'd think, oh,a woman that leads kids to her
cottage to cook them in an oven.
(18:12):
That's dark to begin with, butthen you like yes, it is.
The Hansel and Gretel with.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
but then you like, yes, it is the hansel and gretel
, but like you put a fun cheerykid like spin on it and it's
like, oh, that's, let's sign uplet's take my kids to watch that
, but like I always thought thatwas interesting but yami
watched pinocchio for the firsttime last night with jerry and
it was actually super funny.
He has a recording of her andpinocchio is sitting there like
bsing around.
He's on his way to school buthe's talking with, I want to say
(18:42):
, jiminy Cricket or somethingand she's like come on,
pinocchio, go to school already,just stop procrastinating.
And the way Jerry was likefirst of all I didn't even know
she knew the word procrastinate.
Yeah, I said that was prettygood, but he was just like she
just kept cracking me up Becauseshe kept talking to the TV.
And she's like oh no, don't dothat.
(19:04):
Why you got to lie.
Just tell the truth.
You're making it so hard, noway.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But yeah, my grandmother talks to the TV, but
I don't think she's, I don'tthink she.
Well, she thinks the people inthe TV can hear her.
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I don't know.
I mean, I talk to the TV too,but I don't really think they
can hear me.
But I am like yo.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Maybe that goes with age oh yeah, Like the thought
process of oh, I'm actually inthe show.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can understand you comparing me to Grandma, but
what's Ducky's problem?
Yeah, no, that's hilarious,she's five.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I sometimes like to Stuff will happen.
I think there's only been aselect few shows I've been like
audibly, like what the holy?
There's been a select few shows.
I've been like that's insane,Like out loud I think it was
Breaking Bad.
There are moments in that showthat are like that's just such a
good show.
(20:05):
Whoa, and then Dexter.
There were moments in thatwhich Dexter fell off.
Bad Atlanta, the last episode.
But there are a lot of showswhere I was like what the huh?
Like that one episode I got toshow you, the episode of Atlanta
(20:26):
with the boar.
There's like a boar and he likegoes out to the country and he
like moves away from the cityand is trying to like live a
sustainable lifestyle, and thenit just it's one of the I think
one of the best episodes of TVI've ever seen.
And then it just it's one ofthe I think one of the best
episodes of TV I've ever seen.
I think it's in the last season, I think the second to last
episode.
Don't quote me on that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
No, no, Don't quote me on anything I was going to
say.
We're not quoting you on thatone.
But he got the show right.
That's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Why don't y'all?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
watch it from the beginning and figure it out
yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yep, you can.
You got to leave intrigue.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Room for intrigue.
What's the worst thing?
You stepped on in the dark.
You have stepped on in the dark.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
A rat.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I'm from Arizona, so you know we got
desert, we got little creaturesthat come in the house and he

But like I just felt somethinggrimy underneath my feet and I
remember just yelling, like Ijust knew, as soon as my
grandmother turned to light, mylife was over was it dead like
oh yeah no, he was dead alreadyoh, okay, so he's already.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, okay, good, he didn't make it to the room.

He's like, yeah, I'm dying.
He didn't make it crunch, but Iwas like snap crackle.
Oh my gosh, I just uh, I'm justthinking about it now, like my
feel the look cold little body.

Right as a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That was my least favorite part of that movie,
when he was popping the glassornaments under his feet, I
don't know, it just made myinnards crawl up.
I was like, oh, that's got tobe the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The home alone.

Or the nail when the tar up the stairs.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I don't know, when you read that question, I just
put myself in the shoes of theguy that loses his shoes and
then steps on a nail.

It depends.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Not at all Depends.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
On the day.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And whether or not I have my Depends on Exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, it was shit.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think I had it you had it and now it's gone, or
like stuff that like smooshes.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I like to wear shoes too, so you're definitely not
going to a winery and smashinggrapes underneath your feet.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
No, no, I hate that sound.
Everything about that makes myinnards curl.
I think, um, like at one point,anything like because I like to
wear shoes, I collect themright and so like I have a ton
and they're all pretty clean.
And if I ever feel like my footsink into something like if
(24:52):
it's like, you know, like mudshit, that like that feeling
when you know your shoe got mudon it and you're just like God,
I hate that feeling.
I don't like stepping on stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay, I mean I don't think anybody loves.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Don't catch me somewhere muddy.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No, I'm not going If I think it's muddy.
I'm not wearing the good shoes.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm going to wear something I don't care about.
You won't catch me around thedirt creatures.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Or I wear a pair of shoes that I have like two pairs
of or three pairs of.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, no.
Because I have multiple pairsof what's up with, like Teemu
shoes.
Like what Do you have Teemushoes?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Hell no.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, people are.
Everybody I know is buyingthese.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
No, I don't Cheap ugly.
No sir.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
God, awful looking.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Like I'm like you.
I love shoes, but we're on twodifferent spectrums of liking
the shoes.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
You're more of a sneaker head, I'm a Well, what
did that girl say at the work?
She said something about brands, I don't know.
It was like something aboutbrands.
I was looking at sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh, I probably said something about the whole brand
thing.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I'm like a brand dude.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well, I have brand shoes too, but I mean, yeah.
I have this thing like certainshoes, I buy two pairs of.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Oh yeah, that makes sense so well with me.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I will buy two of the same shoe too, but it's just
got to be different colors andthen like, if, like, I buy a
dress, like I'm gonna buy asneaker, a sandal and a heel to
match the dress, and that makesmakes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Versatility.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I kind of was thinking about that in my closet
yesterday.
I have so much shit and I'mtrying to do like the 90 thing,
like if I don't touch it for 90days, get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's never going to work, and so we haven't even
made 90s.
But I was thinking about howpeople like actually plan
outfits and stuff.
And I'm a big like I will justget stuff and it'll fall into my
lap and I'll be like, okay,I'll wear it.
And then like, do people planout their meals, I mean what
they wear for the week?
(27:09):
Because when I kind of go tothe closet every morning, I'm
like yep, yep, yep, and then Igo.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I do it for the kids.
Every morning I'm like yep, yep, yep and then I go, I do it for
the kids.
I don't plan my actual outfit,I plan my shoes, just shoes yes,
I plan my shoes.
That's it was important, um,and making sure I have
appropriate undergarments, ofcourse, but the outfit it is
what it is, I don't I kind ofthrow a bunch of shit at the
wall and sees what sticks.
(27:34):
Yeah, exactly, I don't reallycare as.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'm getting older, I'm starting to think more about
fit, like I really don't careabout what it is as much anymore
, necessarily, it's more justlike how I feel in it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, clothes should be your and not a crop top.
Yeah, as I'm wearing one, greatThank you?
No, you had that diss on thelast one but um, yeah, it's, and
I think that's why some peoplewear certain things so
confidently, but when we look atthem we're like, ah, that's so
(28:12):
ugly, but they wear it so well,anything sheer dude like what's
up with guys?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
like where wife beaters won?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
and then, first of all, can we just be honest wife
beaters are under shirts.
They are supposed to be wornunder uh and not seen.
Worn and not seen I mean evencholos wear them with their you
know button-ups, their flannels.
Yeah, but also this guy had onthat.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And then a jersey, but one of those cheaply made
Timu jerseys where the holes inthe jersey.
You know how football jerseys.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You can see the pads, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He had that on over it in a double XL and I was like
bruh, cause you could see howskinny.
And then the two X Jersey, justwith holes in it, and you're
just like I laughed.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You see too many people with this team.
I didn't even know, I knowpeople talk about it, but I
didn't know.
It was like a thing Like peopleactually are buying, like full
outfits and shoes it's bad, likeI would understand, like
someone buying, let's say uhwhen did team a lunchbox?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
or uh, when did team come?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
into coven.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
So now everybody's hooked on the bat teamu I was
into wild teamu slash coven Iwas into crazy shirts.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Well, they weren't crazy, but like that stood for
something, or funny shirts.
I was not into hell, I'mwearing pajamas, like come on
now.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, I also think how many?
How many shirts can you have?
Damn judgy a lot?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
well, I have a ton too, and I'm trying to get rid
of them because it's like I knowI don't need all this, I really
I mean I don't need what I have, but I want what I have and I'm
probably not getting rid of ityeah my chances of me getting
rid of it means it doesn't fitme for whatever reason it's the
worst thing.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I stepped on in the day Squish, just squishies.
Oh, I figured it out Cattails,anything animal-wise, like if
something was running around.
As a kid, if I like,accidentally stepped on like a
cattail or a dog because, likeI'm tall and like most of the
dogs I'm around are like small,and then like, if I move and
(30:34):
accidentally and accidentallylike kick it because I can't see
it.
I always feel really bad aboutthat.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
As you should, because you should be Well.
Yeah, I know you're tall, but Imean you should be kind of
aware I'm showing remorse for itnow, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh, now that's the worst feeling, I think.
I don't like the feeling ofthat Okay.
Or when they kind of likewhimper and like they should
cause your big old foot.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Don't stepped on them .
Speaker 2 (30:58):
They ought to whimper , they ought to try.
And then I try to pet them andmake up for it.
They never they never seem tobe about it.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, cause they're, like he, full of crap they
should have ankle bites you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'll look up to him for how long.
And then he just steps on.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Right, what a poser.
I even cuddle to him, he'swelcome.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, I like how cats choose when they get to be
cuddled like it's a monarchy andyou're like their peasant.
Right, I'm feeding you that,stroll up Rub you hey you pet me
now, and then they leavewhenever they want.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yes, them little dirty sludge bugs.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I think cat like cat as a person is what I aspire to
be.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I identify as a cat.
Let's not open that can ofworms.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Listen, there is.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
There's a lot of people that identify as worms
now we can't open that really.
No, I was like probably I knowthere's furries, like, but well,
there's, there's probably.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What are, what are worms considered?
Slugs Not mammals, animorphs,little amphibians.
They don't have a spine.
I think worms are insects.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
honestly, that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
There are certain moments I get Anna on a question
that she will actually pull upher phone to look up.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, because I'm a little bit curious.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Knowledge is power everyone.
Yeah, I'm like I don't know andwith a friend, like Google in
your pocket.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But not only that, but we already know what's the
point of not knowing.
We know Papa Joe is going tocall us out on it.
He's going to be like come on,y'all Get your lives together,
referring to both aninvertebrate Animal and a
computer program.
No, stop it.
What is a worm?
Damn it.
Oh yeah, it's an invertebrate.
(33:09):
It's an invertebrate.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Because it doesn't have a spine.
Are snakes?
No, snakes have a spine.
He's going to make me do thisagain.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Sn.
No snakes have a spine.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
He's gonna make me do this again snakes do have a
spine though, so they're not.
I think those are do theybecause?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I'm gonna sound real stupid right now according to
eve, they do not have a spinewell, she didn't have a spine
eating that damn apple.
That's why we're in this messthanks eve, yep damn women
you're welcome don't worry, weget us into trouble and we get
us out we're still in thetrouble well damn I don't want
(33:49):
to say amphibian, because I'llsound dumb.
It's like xylem or somethingyeah, but their class is
reptilia right, it's a reptile.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Okay, amphibian is like frog yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
That's why, when you was saying, I was like okay, I
forgot about reptiles.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think that's what I was confusing.
I mean, science was a reallylong time for me.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I know yours was like last week, but mine was really
long.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
How's that AP bio?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, I mean, I was too, which is hilarious that.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
AP bio is like learning about things and then
you get to like the ACT orwhatever standardized test you
had, and it wasn't like that atall.
It was like, okay, but now canyou read graphs.
Yes, take the spleen out ofthis poor toadstool and can you
read graphs.
Now it's like, no, that doesn'tcorrelate at all.
Can we get a graph on how muchthis correlates Like, because
(34:42):
they're two separate graphs.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Literally, literally.
What is one of?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
those overused words that you are tired of hearing.
All of them, not all of them,just all of the words.
Good God.
All of them, not all of them,just all of the words.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Good God.
All of them.
He's like all of them words.
He stopped talking, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I need people to be more intentional with their
language.
Coming from me is wild.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, just all of them.
If I could put half of whatpeople say to me into a distill
thing, I'm only getting twodrops of them.
If I could put half of whatpeople say to me into like a
distill thing, I'm only gettinglike two drops of liquid.
So all of them.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Okay, all of them.
For me, the word literally.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Literally.
We've been saying that a lot,yes.
But it drives me crazy because,and duh, duh, Well, you do that
, you do do duh, you do duh tome I do the duh and the literary
, but literally and the literaryliterary, literary well, that's
the way yammy says it and she'dbe like no, no, literally,
(35:49):
monty, literally.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
And I'd be like yeah, literally, go take your clothes
off and let's get ready for badtime.
Like literally, like I'm likewhy are we using it, this word?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
well, okay, I don't think I'll say all of them, that
was me being.
Whatever, I think I'll say yeah, we're just um, when you ask
somebody for something and theysay they need it, like I need it
.
Like, if somebody's buyingsomething, they're like, yes, I
(36:21):
need this.
And it's like, no, you don'tneed that, you need food, you
need water, you don't need atank.
Like you don't need this thing.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So the way they respond, their literal response,
is what?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
irks you.
Their literal response is whatirks?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
you.
Their literarily response.
I don't know how to get pastthat word or misuse of
adjectives.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I don't hate it, obviously, Having English
teachers for parents, becauseI'll sit there and I'll get
pissed based on the lack ofknowledge Because me.
Obviously I'm going to messsome words up because nobody's
perfect, but at least I leaninto it.
A lot of people lean away fromand lean into thinking I don't
(37:14):
know as much as I do about theEnglish language and it's like
some stuff I'm just not gonnalet slide and that pisses me off
.
So misuse of adjectives arecertain things.
Also, coming from me is crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, duh?
No, I'm just joking.
Oh, my goodness Well.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That like flew by.
It feels like.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
It sure did, it sure did.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
We're not even like almost done with the incense
Fine.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Like sure did, but.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
No, I think With our discussion of reptiles that yeah
, it kind of veered I don't knowwhere it veered into.
So mammals are the thing likelions and stuff.
Mammals are like walking.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Things that nurse their babies.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Like with teats.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Not so much.
I don't know if a whale hasteats A whale has teats yeah but
whales are considered mammals.
What about sperm whales?
Do they nurse their babies Herface?
Do they nurse their babies Herface?
After I said that that's how wecan determine a mammal, she was
like you just wanted to saysperm, you weirdo.
You did, he leaned into thaty'all.
You did, he leaned into thaty'all.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I did not lean away, I leaned direct.
I glided actually Not he glided, I slid into home base.
I glided into home base, allright.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I think I have an outro here, you do, from the
Book of Awakening.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Book of Awakening Mark Nepo.
You do from the Book ofAwakening.
Book of Awakening Mark Nepo,today's reading.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Are we on the right date?
It's the 25th of January.
Yep, we're on the right date.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I was like oh snap, this one is from Martin Buber
and it's Loving Yourself.
I begin to realize that,inquiring about my own origin
and goal, I'm inquiring aboutsomething other than myself.
In this very realization, Ibegin to recognize the origin
(39:29):
and goal of the world.
The excerpt from Martin Ebo Inloving ourselves, we love the
world.
The excerpt from Mark Nepo Inloving ourselves, we love the
world.
For just as fire, rock andwater are all made up of
molecules, everything, includingyou and me, is connected by a
small piece of the beginning.
Yet how do we love ourselves?
(39:50):
It is as difficult at times asseeing the back of your head.
It can be as elusive as it isnecessary.
I have tried and tripped manytimes and I can only say that
loving yourself is like feedinga clear bird that no one else
can see.
You must be still and offeryour palm full of secrets, like
(40:10):
delicate seed, as she eats yoursecrets no longer secret secret.
She glows and you lighten, andher voice, which only you can
hear, is your voice.
Birthed, barefoot of plansb-e-r-e-f-t.
Birthed, yeah, I think birthed,but birthed me over here
(40:32):
talking about don't know how touse adjectives.
Come on and the light throughher body will bathe you till you
wonder why the gems in yourpalm were ever fisted.
Others will think you crazed towait on something no one sees.
But the clear bird only wantsto feed and fly and sing.
She only wants light in herbelly and once in a great while,
(40:55):
if someone loves you enough,they might see her rise from the
nest beneath your fear.
In this way, I've learned thatloving yourself requires a
courage unlike any other.
It requires us to believe inand stay loyal to someone,
something no one else can see.
That keeps us in the world, ourown self-worth no one else can
(41:17):
see.
That keeps us in the world, ourown self-worth.
All the great moments ofconception, the birth of
mountains, of trees, of fish, ofprophets, and the truth of
relationships that last, allbegin where no one can see, and
it is our job not to extinguishwhat is so beautifully begun.
For once, full of light,everything is safe, safely on
its way, not pain-free butunencumbered, and the air
(41:38):
beneath my wings is the same airthat trills in my throat.
And the empty benches in snoware as much as part of us as the
empty figures who slouch onthem in spring.
When we believe in what no oneelse can see, we find we are
(41:58):
each other and all moments ofliving, no matter how difficult,
come a fine moment to live anda fine moment to die.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
All right, y'all can sit on that for this week.
Sit on it.
We thank you wholeheartedly forjoining us for another episode
on the Green Onions podcast.
Speaker 2 (42:35):

Yes, love yourself, love others, treat others the
way you want to be treated.

Yeah, telling the little children to be quiet,

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, no, not my plan .
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you know what am I saying?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
How was your week?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Good, good, interesting, but it was good as
overall had a hard conversationwith friend and, yeah, which you
know me, I'm a walk away, cutyou off kind of person yeah we,
we don't have to address it.
You, you're, you're grown up,you should know what's going on
in life.
But we did.
We had a hard conversation.
(04:19):
It was great because actually,once I left here because we did
our episode, that didn't pan outso well well, the episode was
phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was just some recording issue being listenable
.
That was the thing that theprocess didn't want to proceed.
On the process, the processdidn't want to proceed but I
ended up actually chit chattingwith her.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
as I was watching a movie last night which, by the
way, blink Twice is a good movieby Channing Tatum, I got to say
that's some of his oh, is thatlike the thriller?
Kind of yes it's some of hisbest work it is.
It's basically about power andcontrol.
So if you're and I'm talkingabout like diddy shit, like like
(05:04):
just kind of you know braceyourself or don't watch it.
But it is definitely ChanningTatum's best work.
But anywho, we ended up talking.
But you know we're getting backto that place where we used to
be, slowly but surely.
But that was a goodconversation.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm glad I had it, you know, yeah, I mean.
Conversations like that are thebread and butter of just
humanity, in my opinion.
Like to get anywhere inanything, you're going to have
to have hard conversations.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, well, yeah, apparently.
Yeah, I think to just be likeyou're cut off, done.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You remember, like did you have those friends where
it was like it was always thesame and when you see them, like
once in a while, it's fine,because you know it's always
going to be the same.
Oh yeah, you get in the samekind of routine, mm-hmm, and
they're still doing the samething.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And like it's like I can't yeah we out, yeah we out.
Like there has to be some pushagainst the status quo to keep
my mind a little entertained,mm-hmm, in a positive way, not
in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, I completely agree with you on
that.
But and then?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
of course you know just kid issues which you know,
know, it's fine, it's a it's a,it's a growing pain as we.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a process within a process, yeah, especially as
we're growing as a family andthen jerry and I are still
growing as individuals and as acouple.
Yeah, then you add, two littlepersonalities are on a whole
nother level.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Just on top of the on top.
Right, so, um, it's all good,but I, whereas I'm over here
just trying to figure out my owncrap.
And then and you got like eightother plates to juggle.
So if we were in the circusyou'd get all the, you'd get all
(07:04):
the attendance.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That I hope not.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It would just be me.
Well like if we were platejugglers, most of the people
would cheer for you.
I think that would be.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I get another job in the circus.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can we do something that isn't just, oh my man.
Well, we do have a readingtoday, don't we?
A little bit of a reading a?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
little food for thought for y'all awesome.
And it comes to you by thedaily stoic by ryan holiday and
steven hanselman which we havebeen reading yes, ever since
passionately yes, and now we arestill reading it.
You're welcome.
So on this beautiful day ofJanuary 25th, I'll be reading
(07:54):
the Only Prize, what's left tobe prized?
This, I think, to limit ouraction or inaction to only
what's keeping in with the needsof our own preparation.
It's what the exertions ofeducation and teaching are all
about.
Here is the thing to be prized.
If you hold this firmly, you'llstop trying to get yourself all
(08:20):
the other things.
If you don't, you won't be free, self-sufficient or liberated
from passion, but necessarilyfull of envy, jealousy and
suspicion for any who have thepower to take them, and you'll
(08:58):
plot against those who do havewhat you prize.
But by having some self-respectfor your own mind and praising
it, you will please yourself andbe in a better harmony with
your fellow human beings andmore in tune with the gods,
praising everything they haveset in order and allotted you.
That's Marcus AureliusMeditations.
Aurelius aurelius meditations.
Warren buffett, whose net worthis approximately 65 billion,
lives in the same house hebought in 1958 for 31 500.
John urschel alignment for thebaltimore ras makes millions but
(09:22):
managed to live on $25,000 ayear.
San Antonio Spurs' KawhiLeonard gets around in the 1997
Chevy Tahoe.
he's had since he was a teenager, even with a contract worth
some $94 million.
Why?
It's not because these men arecheap.
(09:43):
It's because the things thatmatter to them are cheap.
Neither Buffett, nor Urschel,nor Leonard ended up this way by
accident.
Their lifestyle is the resultof prioritizing.
They cultivate interests thatare decidingly below their
financial means and, as a result, any income will allow them
(10:06):
freedom to pursue the thingsthey most care about.
It just happens that theybecame wealthy beyond any
expectation.
This kind of clarity about whatthey love most in the world
means they can enjoy their lives.
It means they'll still be happyeven if the markets were to
turn on or their careers werecut short by injury.
(10:30):
The more things we desire andthe more we have to do to earn
or attain those achievements,the less we actually enjoy our
lives and the less free we are.
Wow, that was good.
That was good.
That was wow.
Enjoy our lives.
And the less free we are.
Wow, that was good that wasgood, that was wow.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Kind of sounded like if you have a job you love, you
never work a day in your life.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Or kind of tying into our budget thing like
priorities and stuff like themoney doesn't have to be the
sole focus of um, whether it begift giving, saving, whatever
it's more thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's definitely why, you know
, I put out that challenge.
You know the 50, 30, 20 rule,or, in some people's cases,
because you know, put out thatchallenge.
You know the 50, 30, 20 rule,yep, or, in some people's cases,
because you know they, theyneed a little time to get there.
We got the 55, 35, 10 rollbrought to you by the green
onions podcast, but, um,actually that was pretty amazing
(11:38):
.
Like I knew warren buffettbecause I have a book by him.
So you you know, I'm definitelyimpressed by him, Kawhi.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Leonard has been somebody I've been following
forever.
He was one of the only likeplayers at the time when LeBron
was on the Lakers that was ableto defend LeBron and then he a
very injury-speckled career, buthe's always been one of the
(12:05):
hardest workers and like aninsane athlete, so I did know
that about him.
He's the guy that had thereally bad meme laugh Like when
he was with Toronto he was likethe guy to deliver a
championship to the TorontoRaptors, like off a one-off.
Like that guy.
I didn't know that, he was verywell, not stingy, but he.
That guy, I didn't know that hewas very well, not stingy, but
(12:25):
he he just didn't he didn't gowith like beyond his means, and
that's great, which I feel like.
If you're going beyond your ornot, because it wouldn't even be
beyond his means, I feel likeit hits a point.
You're spending money for otherpeople as opposed to like for
your own happiness, and I feellike that's the difference there
(12:46):
, because he doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Kind of understands that he doesn't have to put on a
persona when he is the persona.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I like it, I love it.
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I learned our yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Actually, our yesterday was actually in
February.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, it was in February.
Yeah, yeah, okay, that was methen that was, I kind of messed
that up yeah you're telling methere's 23 days in february too
seriously, it wasn't a leap yearso it just worked out very well
.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Have you ever heard of the impossible puzzle?
No okay, so I was on the amazon.
I don't know what I was exactlythe amazon, the amazon, the
bezos because you know darn goodas well, my car on amazon is
ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it's like 4 000 things yeah well, it was
actually 2 000 right.
I wasn't even joking at four no, it wasn't two't two.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, it was about 2000.
Jesus, but you know, I take off.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't even know 2000 things that exist.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, I'm going to have to have a Warren Buffett
mindset going forward.
It's like windowed down to onething.
But anyways, I've seen theImpossible Puzzle.
It's a clear puzzle.
Thinking about buying it, Iwould do it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Growing up I used to just puzzle all the time.
I got the nickname the PuzzleMaster and we used to have a ton
of puzzles where it would getto the point where I'd just
memorize them so I'd be able tojust finish like an 1,000-piece
one in like an afternoon.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
See, that's what's up .
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, because my parents didn't let me have like
a smartphone until a lot later,so it was like bike riding or if
it rained I would have to likefind other means so I'd read
books also.
Have you series?
unfortunate events we weretalking about doing something
like book club wise yes, yes and, like cS Lewis, right, we had
(14:46):
that conversation last episode.
But I was thinking after ourconversation last night on the
podcast, the unknown podcast,that will never come out.
I was thinking of Series ofUnfortunate Events is a really
easy series to get throughbecause, they're super easy, but
they're also like very good.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Disregarding the Neil Patrick Harris show because
that shows butt.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
But jim carrey's movie is good growing up I used
to watch that.
I watch that all the time, butyes that we have all the books
yes, that will be our first onethrough 13 yes, that would be
the first thing we will read,and because I always get to like
book the misery mill orsomething like that I think,
(15:32):
that's like six or seven, itmight be four, yeah, it's four.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Um, I I always get there if I'm trying to reread
the series and I can't like.
I'm like okay, I'm done, and Ifeel like, if I have, we can
yeah, exchange, and we'll throwthat on our website as well I
love those on the instagram soon the insta yeah, and anybody
wants to join us and talk aboutit and have a discussion?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
let's do it.
Let's do it, let's do it andalso look out for our episode
kind of low stakes too, you knowlook out for our episode, for
our um.
Well, it's not ours, it'snoah's recipe for his pot roast
pot roast so so, but always lookout every week for you know a
(16:20):
new recipe on our youtubechannel yeah, we're you, we'll
get better, we'll get better.
Actually, yeah, y'all know howwe started stuff up we don't
know what we're doing, but hell,we'll try it'll, it'll figure
it'll, it'll work itself out italways does exactly oh,
grasshopper sohopper LittleJiminy Cricket.
(16:41):
Talking about that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
so Yammy watched Pinocchio for the first time,
which isn't Pinocchio, like Ithink all the old Disney
cartoons, are actuallyterrifying.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Isn't that like?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
the Brothers Grimm, or whatever, actually terrifying
.
Well, isn't that like?
Like the brother's grammar,whatever that the like the
original writers of, like Hanseland Gretel, for example?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
and all these like old things are just that.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
They're terrifying actually.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's why it's easy to do like horror adaptation but
are they terrifying really, oror are the kids nowadays
sensitive as heck?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
no, I think when they wrote them I don't know if it
was near or close to the GreatDepression, but I think around
the time of a lot of really badthings happening is where people
came up with these fantasystories and they were actually
super dark.
So when they got a hold of thenew, it was a show I watched as
(17:43):
a kid.
It was an ABC show that jumpedthe shark way too soon Once Upon
a Time.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh, I love that show.
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So it's kind of like that when they originally wrote
the stories it was a lot darker,like I mean.
In a nutshell, you'd think, oh,a woman that leads kids to her
cottage to cook them in an oven.
(18:12):
That's dark to begin with, butthen you like yes, it is.
The Hansel and Gretel with.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
but then you like, yes, it is the hansel and gretel
, but like you put a fun cheerykid like spin on it and it's
like, oh, that's, let's sign uplet's take my kids to watch that
, but like I always thought thatwas interesting but yami
watched pinocchio for the firsttime last night with jerry and
it was actually super funny.
He has a recording of her andpinocchio is sitting there like
bsing around.
He's on his way to school buthe's talking with, I want to say
(18:42):
, jiminy Cricket or somethingand she's like come on,
pinocchio, go to school already,just stop procrastinating.
And the way Jerry was likefirst of all I didn't even know
she knew the word procrastinate.
Yeah, I said that was prettygood, but he was just like she
just kept cracking me up Becauseshe kept talking to the TV.
And she's like oh no, don't dothat.
(19:04):
Why you got to lie.
Just tell the truth.
You're making it so hard, noway.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But yeah, my grandmother talks to the TV, but
I don't think she's, I don'tthink she.
Well, she thinks the people inthe TV can hear her.
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I don't know.
I mean, I talk to the TV too,but I don't really think they
can hear me.
But I am like yo.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Maybe that goes with age oh yeah, Like the thought
process of oh, I'm actually inthe show.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can understand you comparing me to Grandma, but
what's Ducky's problem?
Yeah, no, that's hilarious,she's five.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I sometimes like to Stuff will happen.
I think there's only been aselect few shows I've been like
audibly, like what the holy?
There's been a select few shows.
I've been like that's insane,Like out loud I think it was
Breaking Bad.
There are moments in that showthat are like that's just such a
good show.
(20:05):
Whoa, and then Dexter.
There were moments in thatwhich Dexter fell off.
Bad Atlanta, the last episode.
But there are a lot of showswhere I was like what the huh?
Like that one episode I got toshow you, the episode of Atlanta
(20:26):
with the boar.
There's like a boar and he likegoes out to the country and he
like moves away from the cityand is trying to like live a
sustainable lifestyle, and thenit just it's one of the I think
one of the best episodes of TVI've ever seen.
And then it just it's one ofthe I think one of the best
episodes of TV I've ever seen.
I think it's in the last season, I think the second to last
episode.
Don't quote me on that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
No, no, Don't quote me on anything I was going to
say.
We're not quoting you on thatone.
But he got the show right.
That's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Why don't y'all?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
watch it from the beginning and figure it out
yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yep, you can.
You got to leave intrigue.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Room for intrigue.
What's the worst thing?
You stepped on in the dark.
You have stepped on in the dark.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
A rat.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I'm from Arizona, so you know we got
desert, we got little creaturesthat come in the house and he
was dead.
But like I just felt somethinggrimy underneath my feet and I
remember just yelling, like Ijust knew, as soon as my
grandmother turned to light, mylife was over was it dead like
oh yeah no, he was dead alreadyoh, okay, so he's already.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, okay, good, he didn't make it to the room.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
He was just right there.
He's like, yeah, I'm dying.
He didn't make it crunch, but Iwas like snap crackle.
Oh my gosh, I just uh, I'm justthinking about it now, like my
feel the look cold little body.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Oh, the little one claw.
That's nasty.
Remember the scene in uh homealone when he like he's trying
to get into the house and hegoes through the window.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And Kevin.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
McCallister has laid out all the ornaments.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Right as a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That was my least favorite part of that movie,
when he was popping the glassornaments under his feet, I
don't know, it just made myinnards crawl up.
I was like, oh, that's got tobe the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The home alone.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Or the nail when the tar up the stairs.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I don't know, when you read that question, I just
put myself in the shoes of theguy that loses his shoes and
then steps on a nail.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I feel like you would be Macaulay Culkin.
That would probably be you.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I always looked up to him Pre-Michael Jackson.
I looked up to him, yeah youwould Pre-Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I looked up to Michael.
Yeah, you probably Right, you'dprobably be the Kevin
Pre-heroine.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I looked up to Michael.
Like, oh my gosh, that'shilarious, probably for me,
worst thing I ever stepped on.
I'm trying to think I have, Ihad something, and it wasn't
(23:09):
like something stupid or likeLegos, it was like dang, what am
I trying to?
I had something, I'm glad.
But then I was.
I was thinking I had something,I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But then I was.
I'm glad we all have somethingI was thinking of Home Alone for
too long.
He was like I had something itwas right here it was at the
tippity-tap in my tongue.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Like wet socks.
I hate stepping on wet socks.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Please explain or wet anything Like anything wet like
why is there wet stuff on thefloor just?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
wet anything I I care not to go into.
I'm like why is there like wet?
Socks and what anything slimydid you pee on yourself and your
socks got wet.
What is the deal?
I have my diapers on.
It depends.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Not at all Depends.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
On the day.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And whether or not I have my Depends on Exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, it was shit.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think I had it you had it and now it's gone, or
like stuff that like smooshes.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I like to wear shoes too, so you're definitely not
going to a winery and smashinggrapes underneath your feet.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
No, no, I hate that sound.
Everything about that makes myinnards curl.
I think, um, like at one point,anything like because I like to
wear shoes, I collect themright and so like I have a ton
and they're all pretty clean.
And if I ever feel like my footsink into something like if
(24:52):
it's like, you know, like mudshit, that like that feeling
when you know your shoe got mudon it and you're just like God,
I hate that feeling.
I don't like stepping on stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay, I mean I don't think anybody loves.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Don't catch me somewhere muddy.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No, I'm not going If I think it's muddy.
I'm not wearing the good shoes.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm going to wear something I don't care about.
You won't catch me around thedirt creatures.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Or I wear a pair of shoes that I have like two pairs
of or three pairs of.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, no.
Because I have multiple pairsof what's up with, like Teemu
shoes.
Like what Do you have Teemushoes?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Hell no.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, people are.
Everybody I know is buyingthese.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
No, I don't Cheap ugly.
No sir.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
God, awful looking.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Like I'm like you.
I love shoes, but we're on twodifferent spectrums of liking
the shoes.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
You're more of a sneaker head, I'm a Well, what
did that girl say at the work?
She said something about brands, I don't know.
It was like something aboutbrands.
I was looking at sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh, I probably said something about the whole brand
thing.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I'm like a brand dude.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well, I have brand shoes too, but I mean, yeah.
I have this thing like certainshoes, I buy two pairs of.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Oh yeah, that makes sense so well with me.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I will buy two of the same shoe too, but it's just
got to be different colors andthen like, if, like, I buy a
dress, like I'm gonna buy asneaker, a sandal and a heel to
match the dress, and that makesmakes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Versatility.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I kind of was thinking about that in my closet
yesterday.
I have so much shit and I'mtrying to do like the 90 thing,
like if I don't touch it for 90days, get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's never going to work, and so we haven't even
made 90s.
But I was thinking about howpeople like actually plan
outfits and stuff.
And I'm a big like I will justget stuff and it'll fall into my
lap and I'll be like, okay,I'll wear it.
And then like, do people planout their meals, I mean what
they wear for the week?
(27:09):
Because when I kind of go tothe closet every morning, I'm
like yep, yep, yep, and then Igo.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I do it for the kids.
Every morning I'm like yep, yep, yep and then I go, I do it for
the kids.
I don't plan my actual outfit,I plan my shoes, just shoes yes,
I plan my shoes.
That's it was important, um,and making sure I have
appropriate undergarments, ofcourse, but the outfit it is
what it is, I don't I kind ofthrow a bunch of shit at the
wall and sees what sticks.
(27:34):
Yeah, exactly, I don't reallycare as.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'm getting older, I'm starting to think more about
fit, like I really don't careabout what it is as much anymore
, necessarily, it's more justlike how I feel in it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, clothes should be your and not a crop top.
Yeah, as I'm wearing one, greatThank you?
No, you had that diss on thelast one but um, yeah, it's, and
I think that's why some peoplewear certain things so
confidently, but when we look atthem we're like, ah, that's so
(28:12):
ugly, but they wear it so well,anything sheer dude like what's
up with guys?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
like where wife beaters won?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
and then, first of all, can we just be honest wife
beaters are under shirts.
They are supposed to be wornunder uh and not seen.
Worn and not seen I mean evencholos wear them with their you
know button-ups, their flannels.
Yeah, but also this guy had onthat.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And then a jersey, but one of those cheaply made
Timu jerseys where the holes inthe jersey.
You know how football jerseys.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You can see the pads, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He had that on over it in a double XL and I was like
bruh, cause you could see howskinny.
And then the two X Jersey, justwith holes in it, and you're
just like I laughed.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You see too many people with this team.
I didn't even know, I knowpeople talk about it, but I
didn't know.
It was like a thing Like peopleactually are buying, like full
outfits and shoes it's bad, likeI would understand, like
someone buying, let's say uhwhen did team a lunchbox?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
or uh, when did team come?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
into coven.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
So now everybody's hooked on the bat teamu I was
into wild teamu slash coven Iwas into crazy shirts.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Well, they weren't crazy, but like that stood for
something, or funny shirts.
I was not into hell, I'mwearing pajamas, like come on
now.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, I also think how many?
How many shirts can you have?
Damn judgy a lot?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
well, I have a ton too, and I'm trying to get rid
of them because it's like I knowI don't need all this, I really
I mean I don't need what I have, but I want what I have and I'm
probably not getting rid of ityeah my chances of me getting
rid of it means it doesn't fitme for whatever reason it's the
worst thing.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I stepped on in the day Squish, just squishies.
Oh, I figured it out Cattails,anything animal-wise, like if
something was running around.
As a kid, if I like,accidentally stepped on like a
cattail or a dog because, likeI'm tall and like most of the
dogs I'm around are like small,and then like, if I move and
(30:34):
accidentally and accidentallylike kick it because I can't see
it.
I always feel really bad aboutthat.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
As you should, because you should be Well.
Yeah, I know you're tall, but Imean you should be kind of
aware I'm showing remorse for itnow, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh, now that's the worst feeling, I think.
I don't like the feeling ofthat Okay.
Or when they kind of likewhimper and like they should
cause your big old foot.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Don't stepped on them .
Speaker 2 (30:58):
They ought to whimper , they ought to try.
And then I try to pet them andmake up for it.
They never they never seem tobe about it.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, cause they're, like he, full of crap they
should have ankle bites you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'll look up to him for how long.
And then he just steps on.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Right, what a poser.
I even cuddle to him, he'swelcome.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, I like how cats choose when they get to be
cuddled like it's a monarchy andyou're like their peasant.
Right, I'm feeding you that,stroll up Rub you hey you pet me
now, and then they leavewhenever they want.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yes, them little dirty sludge bugs.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I think cat like cat as a person is what I aspire to
be.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I identify as a cat.
Let's not open that can ofworms.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Listen, there is.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
There's a lot of people that identify as worms
now we can't open that really.
No, I was like probably I knowthere's furries, like, but well,
there's, there's probably.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What are, what are worms considered?
Slugs Not mammals, animorphs,little amphibians.
They don't have a spine.
I think worms are insects.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
honestly, that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
There are certain moments I get Anna on a question
that she will actually pull upher phone to look up.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, because I'm a little bit curious.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Knowledge is power everyone.
Yeah, I'm like I don't know andwith a friend, like Google in
your pocket.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But not only that, but we already know what's the
point of not knowing.
We know Papa Joe is going tocall us out on it.
He's going to be like come on,y'all Get your lives together,
referring to both aninvertebrate Animal and a
computer program.
No, stop it.
What is a worm?
Damn it.
Oh yeah, it's an invertebrate.
(33:09):
It's an invertebrate.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Because it doesn't have a spine.
Are snakes?
No, snakes have a spine.
He's going to make me do thisagain.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Sn.
No snakes have a spine.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
He's gonna make me do this again snakes do have a
spine though, so they're not.
I think those are do theybecause?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I'm gonna sound real stupid right now according to
eve, they do not have a spinewell, she didn't have a spine
eating that damn apple.
That's why we're in this messthanks eve, yep damn women
you're welcome don't worry, weget us into trouble and we get
us out we're still in thetrouble well damn I don't want
(33:49):
to say amphibian, because I'llsound dumb.
It's like xylem or somethingyeah, but their class is
reptilia right, it's a reptile.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Okay, amphibian is like frog yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
That's why, when you was saying, I was like okay, I
forgot about reptiles.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think that's what I was confusing.
I mean, science was a reallylong time for me.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I know yours was like last week, but mine was really
long.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
How's that AP bio?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, I mean, I was too, which is hilarious that.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
AP bio is like learning about things and then
you get to like the ACT orwhatever standardized test you
had, and it wasn't like that atall.
It was like, okay, but now canyou read graphs.
Yes, take the spleen out ofthis poor toadstool and can you
read graphs.
Now it's like, no, that doesn'tcorrelate at all.
Can we get a graph on how muchthis correlates Like, because
(34:42):
they're two separate graphs.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Literally, literally.
What is one of?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
those overused words that you are tired of hearing.
All of them, not all of them,just all of the words.
Good God.
All of them, not all of them,just all of the words.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Good God.
All of them.
He's like all of them words.
He stopped talking, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I need people to be more intentional with their
language.
Coming from me is wild.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, just all of them.
If I could put half of whatpeople say to me into a distill
thing, I'm only getting twodrops of them.
If I could put half of whatpeople say to me into like a
distill thing, I'm only gettinglike two drops of liquid.
So all of them.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Okay, all of them.
For me, the word literally.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Literally.
We've been saying that a lot,yes.
But it drives me crazy because,and duh, duh, Well, you do that
, you do do duh, you do duh tome I do the duh and the literary
, but literally and the literaryliterary, literary well, that's
the way yammy says it and she'dbe like no, no, literally,
(35:49):
monty, literally.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
And I'd be like yeah, literally, go take your clothes
off and let's get ready for badtime.
Like literally, like I'm likewhy are we using it, this word?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
well, okay, I don't think I'll say all of them, that
was me being.
Whatever, I think I'll say yeah, we're just um, when you ask
somebody for something and theysay they need it, like I need it
.
Like, if somebody's buyingsomething, they're like, yes, I
(36:21):
need this.
And it's like, no, you don'tneed that, you need food, you
need water, you don't need atank.
Like you don't need this thing.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So the way they respond, their literal response,
is what?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
irks you.
Their literal response is whatirks?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
you.
Their literarily response.
I don't know how to get pastthat word or misuse of
adjectives.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I don't hate it, obviously, Having English
teachers for parents, becauseI'll sit there and I'll get
pissed based on the lack ofknowledge Because me.
Obviously I'm going to messsome words up because nobody's
perfect, but at least I leaninto it.
A lot of people lean away fromand lean into thinking I don't
(37:14):
know as much as I do about theEnglish language and it's like
some stuff I'm just not gonnalet slide and that pisses me off
.
So misuse of adjectives arecertain things.
Also, coming from me is crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, duh?
No, I'm just joking.
Oh, my goodness Well.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That like flew by.
It feels like.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
It sure did, it sure did.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
We're not even like almost done with the incense
Fine.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Like sure did, but.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
No, I think With our discussion of reptiles that yeah
, it kind of veered I don't knowwhere it veered into.
So mammals are the thing likelions and stuff.
Mammals are like walking.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Things that nurse their babies.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Like with teats.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Not so much.
I don't know if a whale hasteats A whale has teats yeah but
whales are considered mammals.
What about sperm whales?
Do they nurse their babies Herface?
Do they nurse their babies Herface?
After I said that that's how wecan determine a mammal, she was
like you just wanted to saysperm, you weirdo.
You did, he leaned into thaty'all.
You did, he leaned into thaty'all.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I did not lean away, I leaned direct.
I glided actually Not he glided, I slid into home base.
I glided into home base, allright.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I think I have an outro here, you do, from the
Book of Awakening.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Book of Awakening Mark Nepo.
You do from the Book ofAwakening.
Book of Awakening Mark Nepo,today's reading.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Are we on the right date?
It's the 25th of January.
Yep, we're on the right date.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I was like oh snap, this one is from Martin Buber
and it's Loving Yourself.
I begin to realize that,inquiring about my own origin
and goal, I'm inquiring aboutsomething other than myself.
In this very realization, Ibegin to recognize the origin
(39:29):
and goal of the world.
The excerpt from Martin Ebo Inloving ourselves, we love the
world.
The excerpt from Mark Nepo Inloving ourselves, we love the
world.
For just as fire, rock andwater are all made up of
molecules, everything, includingyou and me, is connected by a
small piece of the beginning.
Yet how do we love ourselves?
(39:50):
It is as difficult at times asseeing the back of your head.
It can be as elusive as it isnecessary.
I have tried and tripped manytimes and I can only say that
loving yourself is like feedinga clear bird that no one else
can see.
You must be still and offeryour palm full of secrets, like
(40:10):
delicate seed, as she eats yoursecrets no longer secret secret.
She glows and you lighten, andher voice, which only you can
hear, is your voice.
Birthed, barefoot of plansb-e-r-e-f-t.
Birthed, yeah, I think birthed,but birthed me over here
(40:32):
talking about don't know how touse adjectives.
Come on and the light throughher body will bathe you till you
wonder why the gems in yourpalm were ever fisted.
Others will think you crazed towait on something no one sees.
But the clear bird only wantsto feed and fly and sing.
She only wants light in herbelly and once in a great while,
(40:55):
if someone loves you enough,they might see her rise from the
nest beneath your fear.
In this way, I've learned thatloving yourself requires a
courage unlike any other.
It requires us to believe inand stay loyal to someone,
something no one else can see.
That keeps us in the world, ourown self-worth no one else can
(41:17):
see.
That keeps us in the world, ourown self-worth.
All the great moments ofconception, the birth of
mountains, of trees, of fish, ofprophets, and the truth of
relationships that last, allbegin where no one can see, and
it is our job not to extinguishwhat is so beautifully begun.
For once, full of light,everything is safe, safely on
its way, not pain-free butunencumbered, and the air
(41:38):
beneath my wings is the same airthat trills in my throat.
And the empty benches in snoware as much as part of us as the
empty figures who slouch onthem in spring.
When we believe in what no oneelse can see, we find we are
(41:58):
each other and all moments ofliving, no matter how difficult,
come a fine moment to live anda fine moment to die.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
All right, y'all can sit on that for this week.
Sit on it.
We thank you wholeheartedly forjoining us for another episode
on the Green Onions podcast.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
And in the words of Mark Nepo love yourself.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yes, love yourself, love others, treat others the
way you want to be treated.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Exactly, and me and Anna are going to go fill our
stomachs with some delicious,glorious food?
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yes, we are, and we are out.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Howdy, howdy for out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out
Out Out Out Out Out Out Out OutOut Out Out Out Out Out Out Out
