Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, so Sky apparently decided to pay for something recently,
and now, of course because it's Sky, it's gotten weird
and very uncomfortable and an awkward situation and all these things.
What the hell is going on? A?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, I made some decisions, and the whole time through
my husband has been kind of giving me the like disapproval.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Look, Oh, I'm sure you listen to him?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well no, I don't have to listen because it's a
look with his face.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So I just I see it and I just know
and then I ignore it.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
So that's how that works.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, But he's given said look after I've done things,
and but then this last time I got the look,
I'm like, okay this that that may have been the
final look to let me know I just need to
shut this down.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
And maybe from the jump this was not a good idea.
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Maybe, like two years ago, I became an audio book
b like I love a good audio book. Like I
was a chick that always had to have music on
twenty four to seven in my car, in my house,
anywhere you go, always music on. And now if you
get in my car or if you were to grab

(01:20):
my air pods and put them in. You're gonna get
a self help audiobook that's always self help, yes, like
like most well for two years. Yeah, like just like
different motivational self help kind of books, you know what
I mean. It's not like, oh, you have this problem,

(01:41):
here's how we're gonna fix it. It's like they're kind
of more the overall like motivational vibes of like, these
are the things you should focus on in your life,
these negative.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Thoughts you should get away from. This is what you know.
So it's that kind of stuff, right, And.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Okay, this is hard to wrap my head around because
I understand listening to a couple of those. How many
do you think you've listened to?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Probably close to a dozen now, and some of them
I've listened to two or three times. Wow, Yeah, there's
definitely Yeah, Big Sean I found that one. It's called Hire.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I highly recommend it. It's a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I know you wouldn't see it coming from Big Sean,
but higher it's it's a good one.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Some of them I've listened to like two or three times.
And so this is just my new thing.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
So much motivation, I don't know, are you doing stuff
outside of like to go to the gym?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Are you going?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Like?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
What do you? What's the motivation for.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was when I was in my yoga phase because
they were mentioning books and yoga classes, and that's I
think how I started on my first one. Now I
no longer do the yoga, but the books are still there.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
What's the motivation? Like, just what what's it for?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, like I said, it's like overall life motivation of
just like feeling good and living for the right reasons,
and like what are the things that the happiest people
do on earth? What are the things that when people
pass away that they regret the most?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
You know, like that kind of stuff, Like, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Nobody goes to their funeral with a bank truck following
with all their money, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And spend it well with you, you can't.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Take it with you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's my next book written by Eddie Yolo.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
So this has just kind of been my thing. You know,
I'm this chick.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I've been trying to force my husband to listen to
these books. That doesn't work out so well. I've mentioned
a few of them and no, I just come home
every day and he's on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So that hasn't worked.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
But all of a sudden, out of the blue, I
got a text from my brother in law and my
brother in law, Like it was just so random, because
I was in the middle of listening to a book
called The Eight Forms of Wealth, and the Eight Forms
of Wealth has nothing to do with money. It is

(04:07):
kind of the other forms of wealth that people either
take for granted or don't even realize are a form
of wealth until they're gone type of things. So I'm
really into this book, and all of a sudden, out
of the blue, I get this text from my brother
in law. And my brother in law, you know, sometimes struggles,
like I think, like most people do. Sometimes, you know,

(04:29):
him and his family struggle a little bit financially, struggle
a little bit emotionally, and these are things that, of
course we've talked about over the decades. And so he
sent me this really nice text how he realized that
he has so many good things that he should be
living for and he shouldn't be focusing on just like oh,

(04:51):
the credit card dead and the whatever. Like, he has
an amazing family, and so he just wanted to thank me,
let me know he loves me and that he appreciate
in his life, and.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I thought that was ti.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, well, him and my husband had been talking a lot,
I think about this topic, and so I think he
just felt motivated at like one point, like the people
who I love and appreciate, I'm just today going to
reach out and let them know that, which.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I thought was so cool.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And so he was basically talking about what this audiobook
I was listening to at the exact same time was
about how it's not about wealth and it's not about
obsessing on your debt. It's about the some of the
other forms of wealth in your life. So I'm like,
this is this is the universe telling me man, I
need to share this book with him, like he's in

(05:40):
this spot where I need to share this book. And honestly,
outside of baby books back in the day, I've never
shared a book or like recommended a book to people
back in like the baby book days. I actually was
thinking about this the other day of one I want
to recommend to thor that was recommended to.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Me by our friend beg.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, I'd like to help the baby sleep better
and all these things. But I haven't recommended a book
because I kind of feel like that's personal you're sharing
a lot, you don't know if they're going to be
into it. But I felt like this moment called for it,
so I did. I actually told my brother in law
because I don't I'm not very tech savvy, so I
didn't know how to buy him an audio book that way.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why do you have to buy it? If you recommend
a book to somebody, it's up to them whether or
not they take the recommendation.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right, But like the big topic is how they're like
struggling with debt. So I didn't want to be like, oh,
here's something you need to buy. I wanted to give
it to him, but he drives all the time for work.
He's like on the road, you know, like eight hours
a day. So I'm like an audio book would be
perfect listen to when he's driving the work truck, and
you know, he can have it that way, but I.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Don't want him to have to buy it.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I want to buy it, but I couldn't figure out,
like how do you buy and then send somebody an
audiobook that goes to their thing. So I basically told
him after he sent the text, like, oh my gosh,
I'm listening to this amazing book right now, I know
you drive all the time. It's exactly what you're talking about.
So here is the cost of the book. Buy it

(07:15):
for yourself, and you can listen to it when you drive.
I think you'd love it. Oh my gosh, thank you
so much. Da da da da da da dah. All
these thank you texts. And that was the end of that.
And I told my husband I did all that, and
that's when I kind of got the looks I was
talking about of like, I don't know if you should
be giving other people self help books.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's a wild move. I think you ask you say,
would you be interested in this? It'd be my treat.
I'll buy it for you, But it's up to them
to say yes or no. To just say I'm gonna
buy you this book. And basically saying I'm going to
force you to listen to an audiobook is a wild decision. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah. And I didn't really think about it like that
until I got the look from my husband. I more
thought about it like this is a gift. Well, you
don't ask somebody when you buy them a gift. You
just buy them a gift. But once my husband gave
me the look, the thoughts that you know.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Brother better than probably anybody.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, and I think.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
That what you said, Eddie applies to more than just
his brother. I think it applies to a lot of
people of like, especially when it's a self help book.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, but you know, like with that that's very specific.
Like if you bought me a Star Wars book, you
know I'm gonna love it no matter what. So you
don't have to ask me to buy me that toll.
But if you try to buy me a self help book,
I'd laugh in your face. I get that out of that,
would go, I don't I don't roll that way. Yeah,
so I don't know how his brother is, you know
what I mean. Definitely if it's written by Big Shot,

(08:41):
if it was written by joh Rule or Rob Bass,
now I'm in your excuse. It just depends on hip
hop artist.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I don't know if they write self hop books. You guys,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
If you're telling me you wouldn't read a book that's
written by Rob Bass called it takes two and he
describes why, like parenting, why it takes two.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
To be on the same page. Yeah, no, I would read.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
And I'm just saying it probably doesn't exist, which is
which is sad. Yeah, so, okay, I understand this is
a questionable decision what I've done, but I've already done
it without asking anybody. And I was way too hyped
on this audio book motivated. I'm so motivated to help
and share my joy of love. Yes, so I send
this over and then you know, time goes by, like

(09:27):
three weeks goes by, and my husband's talking to his
brother on the phone, and he's on speakerphone, so he's
kind of doing the thing where he's like talking to
both of us because we're both in the room, and
all of a sudden, he brings up something about like
being appreciative of his family and how is like kids
had just done something really cool. And that is when

(09:48):
I feel, this is my opportunity to get in and
reference the book and see if he's actually listened to
the book or not.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
And so that's when I'm like, oh, yeah, just like
that audio book I sent you.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
And then he says something about said audiobook, which is
the opposite.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Of what the audio book is actually about.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
He says something about wealth, which is in the title
one would assume, but it's not what the book's actually about.
And my husband knows me so well because he sees
me open my mouth and I'm about to do a
follow up of like, wait, I'm confused. Yeah, that's my

(10:36):
work husband knowing exactly what I'm going to say next,
and so that's what I'm about to say. Wait, because
the book is actually kind of like the and I
see the look on my husband's face that's telling me
you cannot follow up. You cannot quiz somebody if they

(10:57):
you're not a teacher. This isn't a class. They're not
required to read the book, and.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
So that no pop quiz at the end of this.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, so that's when I shut my trap and didn't
get to get my follow up it because well, honestly,
I don't think I would have, but my husband kind
of like bulldozed me and brought up another subject to
like cut me off. So he doesn't trust my mouth,
so he cut me off right there. But then now
I've been left thinking, because we're gonna talk again, can I.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
No, no, no, no, I ask, why do you need to.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Like so you give somebody a kitchen tool, You can't
be like, oh, are you enjoying your new wisk?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
You know you know that the wisk is wildly different
than a self help book that you basically, uh, you know,
forced him to have.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
If this was a birthday or Christmas gift, then I
feel like you could ask.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
But it's not.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
It was a gift that you randomly got for no reason.
So I feel like if he doesn't want to read it,
doesn't have to or and you can't really ask about it.
But if if it was a birthday gift, then you
could say, oh, how's that going?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Since I got you know, and you didn't say. You
didn't give him the opportunity by saying do you want this?
You just did it, just did it. And so now
he's like, oh no, I don't want it.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
But why does he not want it? He's people.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
A lot of people aren't self help gurus. I wouldn't
want it, and a lot of are cult leaders.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
You guys, guys probably if you tell I don't five years, Yeah,
I haven't seen say I haven't seen Skuy in a
couple of years. The drama and I said, and I
ran run into Eddie and I like, hey, what are we
having a sky? And she goes, dude, you didn't hear
off the deep end of this crazy cult in the Oregon.
Haven't seen her since left. Everybody together, I would say

(12:49):
to Eddie, all right, wouldn't be stunned, wouldn't be stunned
at all, But you did.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
About Emily, I'd be like, no way, Sky, I'd be like, Okay,
if she listens to the write book, that's gonna happen.
That's kind of without a doubt. And then say to
all of us, you know, you really should, you know,
take a come into one of our meetings. Yeah, shave
tatoo our I what the help? And you're like, no,
it all makes sense. Just read this book. Yeah no,

(13:17):
so yes, please never bring the up, bring this out,
no follow up.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
God, find the help.
