Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, friend, Welcome to the thought Shower. Intern.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
John is my name, It has been and it was
a weekend, let's get into it. My Friday coach a
hockey game. We lost but still played well. Then went
out to the bar. That was a lovely time, a
lot of friends out there, had a chance to hang out,
see some people. But I'd had this like crack in

(00:24):
the screen of my phone for probably a month, this
like white line went down the side. At some point Friday,
it was bumped out of my hand and completely went white.
So my screen completely white. I was freaking out because
this is Friday night. Saturday. Had to do a video
shoot at the bar, and I had asked the bartenders.

(00:48):
I was like, hey, would you please come in early
on Saturday so we can film some videos. So my
phone stopped working. I was like, oh no, Like I
don't have an alarm now, t us, I have no
way to get a hold of the bartenders for the
video shoot. So I actually had to call the front
desk and ask for a wake up call. When is

(01:09):
the last time you called the front desk to ask
for a wake up call? Trying to think of it,
I don't know if they actually did it. I don't
think they did, because I also set the alarm on
my iPad just to make sure. I don't know if
the front desk actually called. That is messed up, man.

(01:30):
So I went to the store, got my other phone fixed,
got this phone too. So it's been a been a
week and now Thanksgiving this week ten relax hopefully. I'm
not positive what I'm doing for Thanksgiving. I know that
my family's gonna be in Nashville. I just couldn't make
it work traveling wise, with how busy things have been recently.
So got a invite to go to Eric's families for Thanksgiving.

(01:54):
Got an invite to go to Sausage friends for Thanksgiving
as well, or Sauce's family friends. So options are baby.
I'm just looking forward to sleeping because I feel like
I've not done that the last out of four or
five weeks, six weeks probably, So that's the that's kind
of the goal for that.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
It should just pass out.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
And then I was golfing yesterday my buddy DJ Rise
got the new phone, slips out of my pocket, falls
into the concrete, slides down a hill, new screen cracked.
Very exciting. The good news is that they look will
replace the screen because I have the Apple Care. But
I was like, what are the odds, man, I've had

(02:32):
the phone for less than twenty four hours, falls out
of the pocket, falls face down, and literally, in slow motion,
slides down the hill, almost like it was skateboarding. He
couldn't make it up. But golfing was fun. I need
that yesterday. I need to be of like a guy
on my head day and just kind of swing. I'm

(02:52):
not gonna lie. I'm getting decent at golf. Dude, getting
decent helps my buddy Brandon kind of gives me tips
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
But it's fun.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's like a nice kind of like relaxing day before
we grind through Thanksgiving and then we're good to go.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, Love know you're different Thanksgiving too.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Your family traditionis you avoid anybody Black Friday coming around,
Like what am I getting?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Probably nothing?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like Usually when it's like Black Friday or Prime Day,
I just like look at recently bought stuff that I
bought and then be like, Okay, there's a deal on this.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Is that boring? Yeah a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Maybe that's how you know you're an adult when you're
buying like dish detergent instead of toys something like that. Anyway,
let me get to this for your Monday clues that
your ex misses you and wants you to get back together. Now,
let me just say this, if it's one or two
of these, Okay, there's a bunch of these, I would

(03:52):
just be cautious into not reading too far into this stuff.
I do think when you go through a breakup, oh
this and this is happening, they must want me back.
I don't know if that's always the case. They start
by saying mutual friends keep bringing them up. When mutual
friends casually mentioned that your axe has been talking about

(04:13):
you is a strong indicator they're still thinking about you.
Whether they're shame fund memories or is bringing up her name,
it shows you're still on their mind. Obviously, I think
that makes sense. But I would even say, more importantly,
I think the friends bring them up anyway possible, that's
a sign because then the friends probably want you guys
back together, or they think there's a chance, you know
what I mean. Obviously, if your acts is talking about

(04:36):
you to somebody else, that's a pretty obvious sign, right,
But I would say, even again, if they aren't talking
about you directly, but they still kind of bring it up.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's a good sign.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
If they post old photos of the two of you,
I mean that's obvious. I mean, yeah, dude, if they're
actually posting old photos, that to me is like, I
don't know, weird, right, I would think that was weird
unless there was like a certain reason that photos posted.

(05:07):
But you know, what are we trying to do here?
If they keep interacting with you on social media? If
your X likes your posts or washes your stories, could
mean they're trying to stay connected, they say, could just
mean they're curious and off indicates they're still invested in
what's going on in your life, or trying to mark
their territory, you know what I mean, trying to show
people that they're still around. That's how I would see that.

(05:30):
If they're liking and commenting on things, I'd be like, ooh,
you are really trying to prove something here, huh. If
they avoid places, If they avoid places you frequent, interesting,
they say, avoiding your favorite hangouts might mean they're trying
to manage their feelings. Seeing you could bring up emotions
not ready to face, so they stay clear places and

(05:51):
associate with you. I also think that This can just
be a healthy thing, like staying away from excess places,
probably more health thing in general. If they find small
reasons to reach out, I think that's fair. When your
axe reaches out about something trivial like a ram questioned
by a mutual friend or an old I am that
left behind, it might be an excuse to initiate contact.

(06:13):
I think that makes one hundred percent sense, one hundred
and ten percent sence.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
They're trying to find a reason to talk to you.
They could be something small like what was the sauce
I used to get on my food at this restaurant?
Something like very very small like that, where it's like mmmm,
they can figure it out. If they're still holding on
to your stuff, yeap. When your axe has or turn
your belongings or seems reluctant to part with them, it's
a sign those items hold sentimental value. I think that's

(06:41):
fair because then it's almost like an excuse to reach
out to you. Right If they have your shirt, if
they have your charger, that's an excuse for them to
still reach out to you. Ain't no doubt if they're
not dating anyone new, Say, if your ax hasn't moved
on or showed an interest in dating somebody else. It
might be a sign they're still emotionally tied to you.

(07:03):
I think that could be fair, or just could be
there working on themselves. That's when I think it's a
little bit more dangerous because it could just be ah
see on us right now. Yeah, if they seem lost
in thought, friends or quaintness is mentioned in your X.
Seems distracted or introspective, could mean the replay memories of

(07:24):
your time together. Dun't dun't dumb, they say, could be
a sign of the reevaluating things. I think that probably
is fair. Sure, if they keep lines of communication open, Yes,
I mean it's tough, right because if you're doing the
no contact thing, the idea is you don't talk to
each other. But they're saying there there's the occasional text
calls for non essential reasons. It shows not ready to

(07:47):
let go entirely. Yeah, I mean I think that probably
makes sense. Or maybe it's just oh no, you hold
on to niceness, holding on to being civil. Yeah, I
think these are tough. They nostalgic about shared memories. I
think that's fair, talking about old trips, jokes of the
special moments. Yeah, because it's almost like they want you

(08:10):
to remember the good times as well, you know what
I mean. Like, that's kind of what their vibe is.
If they haven't finished projects you started together. They say,
if your ex of voice complete activities or projects you
began together, it could mean those things remind them of you.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
That to me makes sense.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Right If you have like a house project, or maybe
you're converting a van into a sleep or something like
that and they haven't done it, that to me makes sense.
Now Listen, I don't mean to give false hope. Obviously
something we do here. If there's a bunch of these
EO kind of intermingled, I think you probably have something.

(08:47):
If it's one or two, eh. But I do think
the most important thing to do is focus on you.
I know that's so cliche, but make sure you're good,
make sure you're happy. That way, if it does come
to be, the X cons back you are the best
version of you.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Have a fantastic Monday. We'll see a Wednesday. Bye bye,
