Welcome to the Cat and Moose podcast.

00:00:06.051 --> 00:00:06.833
I'm Cat and.

00:00:06.913 --> 00:00:07.394
I'm Moose.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:12.788
This is a true life podcast where we explore the quirks of being human.

00:00:12.788 --> 00:00:19.925
Hey Cat, hey Moose, how you doing?

00:00:19.925 --> 00:00:22.068
What's happening?

00:00:22.068 --> 00:00:27.795
What's happening, girl, hey, girl, hey, what are you up to?

00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:33.832
Well, you know, today has been a challenging work day for me today.

00:00:33.832 --> 00:00:36.981
Why Do tell Humans?

00:00:36.981 --> 00:00:41.469
Humans are challenging, you know, and I love them.

00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:44.054
I actually love I'm trying to think.

00:00:44.054 --> 00:01:29.448
There's one, there's two humans that I work with that I don't really enjoy, but for the most part, like I enjoy the people that I get to work with, and today and yesterday I was in a work conversation that had just too many cooks in the kitchen, yeah, and it's one of those where it's like everybody thinks they're right and everybody thinks they know the best thing to do and somebody's got to be in charge and I did this like what I thought was going to be kind of like a I'm going to be in charge now speech, and it completely fell flat and so, like I just got like completely steamrolled and it's like I'm just not used to that, and so it was a little bit um, challenging is the best word I have for it.

00:01:29.448 --> 00:01:31.680
But you know what it's all working out beautifully.

00:01:32.823 --> 00:01:42.031
Oh, that is frustrating when you're like, okay, nobody's taking charge, I'm going to take charge, and then they're like, no, we actually don't pick you as our leader.

00:01:42.611 --> 00:01:43.534
Right, right.

00:01:43.534 --> 00:01:48.121
Actually don't pick you as our leader, right Right.

00:01:48.141 --> 00:01:49.144
That's pretty pretty much exactly what happened.

00:01:49.144 --> 00:01:58.066
I have a story for you that happened last week that I I almost left you a voice memo but I was like I have to save it for the podcast.

00:01:58.066 --> 00:02:10.622
Um, I've been doing all of these like mid life checkups you know what I mean like mammogram and oh yeah, you know, colonoscopy and all the things.

00:02:10.622 --> 00:02:11.905
Oh fun.

00:02:11.905 --> 00:02:17.174
Yep, I turned 46 years old but I've been doing them for a few years.

00:02:17.174 --> 00:02:25.263
But I'm trying to like get back on my annual stuff because you know it's so easy to be like, when was the last time I went to the dentist?

00:02:25.663 --> 00:02:47.153
yes, yes, it's like I go to the doctor when something's wrong, not for wellness yeah, I am trying to be more preventative and so, anyway, I was at an eyeglass appointment and you know the ones who it's not lens crafter, but it's like a version of that.

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.162
I won't say who it was right, yes, yes, it's a.

00:02:50.162 --> 00:02:54.020
It's a one-stop glasses shop, right yeah?

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.729
Which now people don't buy.

00:02:56.729 --> 00:03:08.388
Well, I I have to buy like $300 glasses cause I need progressives now, but you know I also get ones on like Zenni for like $12, right.

00:03:08.388 --> 00:03:10.825
Yeah, so they need to know.

00:03:10.825 --> 00:03:12.825
At this point they're sort of like that.

00:03:12.825 --> 00:03:20.728
It's like the music industry when we were moving from CDs to digital, like you could be in denial up to a point.

00:03:20.748 --> 00:03:25.490
Right, right Then it's like, oh no, you have to actually convert over.

00:03:25.490 --> 00:03:35.265
So I sort of want to tell them, like, if that's an, obviously I'm being facetious here, but if that's where you're trying to really make your money is on the glasses.

00:03:35.265 --> 00:03:41.048
Like you have a very specific demo Anyone under, I feel like 50 is going to buy their stuff online.

00:03:41.048 --> 00:03:43.233
Anyway, not my point side thing.

00:03:43.233 --> 00:03:48.762
Buy their stuff online, anyway, not my point side thing.

00:03:48.762 --> 00:04:03.353
I go in to get my eyes checked on my yearly so I can get new glasses, and this fine young lady was the doctor and um, before I got to her I had this fabulous guy who, um would do like the pre stuff.

00:04:03.552 --> 00:04:09.346
You know what I mean Like, yes, check your pressure in your eye and like, yeah, give you the little numbing drops.

00:04:09.445 --> 00:04:14.362
and yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, so he had me move from one room to the other.

00:04:14.362 --> 00:04:29.829
I had to simply walk across the hallway, and so when I get into the second room, he and I are talking about something or whatever, and it was one of those like office chairs that don't have any um sides to them you know what I mean?

00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:32.261
it's just like a rolly armless, armless.

00:04:33.723 --> 00:04:45.630
So I am talking to him and telling him all about what my weekend holds and I sit down on that thing and let's just say that thing went out from under me I was flying.

00:04:45.711 --> 00:04:50.670
My feet went up in the air, I was wearing my burks and they went into the hallway.

00:04:50.670 --> 00:04:58.973
So anyone sitting in the actual waiting room who was looking down the hallway just saw two burks flying in the air.

00:04:58.973 --> 00:05:05.274
And what he said after we got done, laughing for an entire five minutes straight.

00:05:05.274 --> 00:05:09.464
He said through his laughter it was in slow motion.

00:05:09.464 --> 00:05:12.331
He goes about one second into it.

00:05:12.331 --> 00:05:23.930
You just started going and my legs just went up.

00:05:24.211 --> 00:05:27.255
And you know, I said well, you're lucky, I'm not an 80 year old woman.

00:05:27.255 --> 00:05:29.891
I would have broken both hips if I had fallen.

00:05:29.891 --> 00:05:31.918
And he said are you going to sue us?

00:05:31.918 --> 00:05:32.680
Really quietly?

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.584
And I said, yes, really quietly.

00:05:34.584 --> 00:05:37.470
Good, good, awesome.

00:05:37.470 --> 00:05:38.973
So hoping that works out.

00:05:38.973 --> 00:05:43.307
Um, so which injury law firm are you going to utilize?

00:05:43.307 --> 00:05:48.524
Oh, I'm not sure, but I bet I could get something I really could.

00:05:48.524 --> 00:05:49.226
Isn't that funny?

00:05:49.226 --> 00:05:50.651
I'm just not that type of person.

00:05:50.651 --> 00:06:00.221
But it was interesting because after the fact, because of my company, this guy was like I gave him the permission to laugh.

00:06:00.221 --> 00:06:08.254
Once I got back up, he helped me up and all that and I wasn't hurt, of course, but I was laughing so hard and I looked at him and I said when are you going to laugh?

00:06:08.254 --> 00:06:10.564
And he could not stop laughing.

00:06:10.564 --> 00:06:17.206
But it was interesting, I had zero shame, I was not like my normal, like oh, fat girl fell on the floor.

00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:17.908
Look at her.

00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:20.312
Like I thought it was so funny.

00:06:20.312 --> 00:06:21.341
That's great.

00:06:21.521 --> 00:06:21.661
And.

00:06:22.103 --> 00:06:22.483
I don't know.

00:06:22.483 --> 00:06:24.507
I just felt like I needed to tell you about that.

00:06:24.889 --> 00:06:32.303
Well, I feel like something I was going to talk about this week kind of beautifully fits into that, of course, because that always happens.

00:06:32.303 --> 00:06:39.824
I feel like that is is a good example of you having achieved another level of healing.

00:06:41.007 --> 00:06:41.668
I think so.

00:06:41.668 --> 00:06:45.774
I was shocked at how much I wasn't embarrassed.

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.449
Yes, and I think I mean that's huge and you even said it yourself.

00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:59.882
You're like like my former self, where whatever you said would say, oh, fat girl, you know, and it's like, it's like no, you can just find the joy in it, you can just find the joy in the moment and I love that.

00:07:00.161 --> 00:07:05.132
Now listen, if it was like a super skinny, pretty girl, I would have totally been embarrassed, I think.

00:07:05.132 --> 00:07:07.579
So, really, I think it has to do with the company.

00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:11.391
Like he was just seeming like a cool great guy, yeah.

00:07:11.391 --> 00:07:18.850
Well, I'm glad that you're a super skinny, skinny, pretty girl Like I don't hate you, but I just don't want to be fat around you.

00:07:21.721 --> 00:07:22.745
That's fantastic.

00:07:22.745 --> 00:07:26.870
I'm going to say that to my next skinny girlfriend that I get to see.

00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:29.964
Yeah, I just don't want to be fat around you.

00:07:31.367 --> 00:07:38.848
I mean, it's true, like every one of us who has a little chunk on the body.

00:07:38.848 --> 00:07:42.374
It is, uh well, I don't know if it's every one of us.

00:07:42.374 --> 00:07:49.293
You tell me, kat, but we have a hard time getting dressed for fancy things because of you.

00:07:49.293 --> 00:08:03.550
Yes, you are the standard, yes, and therefore we are like I can't wear that, but I have to sort of get close to it, so like it's not your fault is what I'm saying, but it's still a reality?

00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:12.894
Yes, yes, it totally is, and I was talking with my hairdresser yesterday about how I haven't bought new work clothes since before COVID.

00:08:12.894 --> 00:08:19.112
So it's been like six or seven years since I have bought myself anything to like wear.

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.189
Wait a minute, covid was not in 2015.

00:08:22.189 --> 00:08:26.370
But I mean, it's been four years since COVID.

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:34.212
It's been four years since COVID, and I think it's been at least two years before COVID that I hadn't bought myself anything.

00:08:34.212 --> 00:08:35.866
So thank you for clarifying.

00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:36.807
I just I.

00:08:36.807 --> 00:08:38.320
You know it's a math podcast.

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:39.686
I don't want to get it wrong.

00:08:40.006 --> 00:08:42.664
Right, and if it was six or seven years ago?

00:08:42.664 --> 00:08:45.712
2015 does not fit into that formula either.

00:08:46.461 --> 00:08:49.149
As soon as I said it, I was like I'm screwed as well.

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:50.263
That's awesome.

00:08:50.263 --> 00:08:50.885
That's beautiful.

00:08:51.442 --> 00:08:52.746
So are you buying any now?

00:08:53.419 --> 00:09:02.624
No, no, I don't intend to, but I was just talking with my hairdresser about because she dresses really cool, and and so I asked her I was like where do you shop?

00:09:02.624 --> 00:09:08.354
Because I'm like, ok, I could shop wherever she shops and be like rock solid, you know.

00:09:08.354 --> 00:09:15.606
And she was saying TJ Maxx and Marshalls and Amazon, and she's like I hate shopping.

00:09:15.606 --> 00:09:18.360
So she's like I just, you know, I put pieces together and I wear them for years and years.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:30.306
And she said, and really, kat, let's be honest, if you're going to go to some nice thing and you wear something black, yeah, you do not have to be stylish, yeah, I agree, it's not like.

00:09:30.306 --> 00:09:36.412
Like you have to wear, like like this year's version of the black button up or the tank top or whatever it is.

00:09:36.412 --> 00:09:42.511
And I thought, you know, like she's got a really good point I need to just pull out all of my, all of my cocktail wear for next time.

00:09:42.511 --> 00:09:43.495
I have to do something.

00:09:43.495 --> 00:09:45.379
Anyway, that sounds really miserable.

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:49.567
I had a fall experience this week as well.

00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:53.715
Oh, does it involve a pumpkin spice latte?

00:09:53.715 --> 00:09:55.101
It does not.

00:09:55.221 --> 00:09:57.706
Okay, good, no, I fell.

00:09:58.908 --> 00:10:00.351
Oh, a fall.

00:10:00.351 --> 00:10:05.288
I thought you meant like autumn, like you said, a fall experience.

00:10:05.288 --> 00:10:07.606
So I thought we were at a pumpkin patch.

00:10:07.606 --> 00:10:10.368
Okay, yes, no, you actually fell as well.

00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:10.971
I'm following.

00:10:10.971 --> 00:10:12.270
Yes, I fell as well.

00:10:12.270 --> 00:10:31.370
So I took a couple of days of the fall break and went on a mini vacation with my family, and so we went to Orange Beach, alabama, and we stayed at a place called the Oasis, and the Oasis has got multiple swimming pools.

00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:42.307
They have outdoor swimming pools, indoor swimming pools, they have hot tubs, they have splash pads, they have all kinds of activities for kids and adults alike, and they also sponsor our podcast.

00:10:42.307 --> 00:10:45.421
I just sounded like I was reading a commercial about them.

00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:46.903
Thank you, um.

00:10:46.903 --> 00:10:50.951
And so, anyway, I went to one of the swimming pools called the lazy river.

00:10:50.951 --> 00:10:52.260
I love a lazy river.

00:10:52.260 --> 00:11:09.480
Oh, it's so nice because, like they have these these water jets kind of in the bottom of the pool and the pool kind of snakes around like yeah, like it's kind of shaped like an S, and then it ends in this big, like three foot pool that is at the end of a big, long twisty slide.

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.452
So the kids can, you know, go off the slide and the parents can just float around the lazy river, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:15.452 --> 00:11:20.673
And so I started looking at all these people and everybody was sitting in their inner tube.

00:11:23.381 --> 00:11:26.514
Oh no, you tried to be like the others, I did, I did.

00:11:26.534 --> 00:11:32.168
You tried to be like the others I did, I did, I tried to be like the others, and then my sister saw from across the way.

00:11:32.168 --> 00:11:39.528
She was like oh dear, my sister is trying to do something that she cannot do, but in your mind, you can do it right In my mind.

00:11:39.528 --> 00:11:40.220
I can totally do it.

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:42.870
Oh, this is just like a quick hop backwards.

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.947
Yes, exactly, and I just have to pull it under me.

00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:51.533
Yes, I have to do a push-up, lifting all of my body weight to bring myself into this inner tube.

00:11:51.533 --> 00:11:55.980
Yes, I can do this Right, and so I tried that and miserably failed.

00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:03.432
And so then, my sister, came over to help me and we were both laughing so hard that it was like hard to make anything happen.

00:12:03.432 --> 00:12:06.176
And finally she goes just go for it.

00:12:06.176 --> 00:12:08.904
She goes, just put your butt in there, just go for it.

00:12:08.904 --> 00:12:25.192
And I was like okay, and so I did, and I'm not exactly sure what happened, but what I know is that I ended up completely under the water and I am not sure how I didn't crack my skull.

00:12:25.732 --> 00:12:28.135
I was going to say, did you hit the cement?

00:12:28.135 --> 00:12:43.210
No, I didn't, and and and I did this weird like tuck and roll, like this thing to try to protect myself, and and the water was freezing, cause it's like October and even though you're down at the beach, it's still kind of chilly at this point.

00:12:43.210 --> 00:13:02.486
And so I come up from the underworld all soaking wet, my glasses were everywhere, my bathing suit was everywhere, and this woman came up to me and her little like swimsuit cover-up, little sachet thing and she had like a martini glass in her hand and she goes sweetheart.

00:13:02.486 --> 00:13:04.269
At least that was graceful.

00:13:05.011 --> 00:13:09.688
Oh, no See, skinny pretty girls came.

00:13:09.688 --> 00:13:10.671
Oh, they got it.

00:13:10.671 --> 00:13:12.384
They got not all of them.

00:13:12.384 --> 00:13:13.629
We love you if you are one.

00:13:13.629 --> 00:13:15.442
Some of them.

00:13:15.442 --> 00:13:18.331
They got to make a point to say we saw you, don't they?

00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:19.302
Mm-hmm.

00:13:19.302 --> 00:13:23.910
And then she tried to make me feel better about it by saying it looked graceful.

00:13:23.910 --> 00:13:31.248
And I'm like there's nothing here that looks graceful, Like I, please and thank you.

00:13:31.248 --> 00:13:32.765
There's nothing here that looks graceful.

00:13:32.765 --> 00:13:36.320
So yay for falling and laughing at ourselves.

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.927
I didn't do as good as you.

00:13:37.927 --> 00:13:41.990
I kind of was embarrassed and I was like, oh my God, I got to get out of the pool.

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.325
Oh, I would have been embarrassed in that in that scenario too.

00:13:45.325 --> 00:13:49.413
I don't know why it wasn't, it was just like a moment in time.

00:13:49.513 --> 00:13:50.654
but of healing.

00:13:50.654 --> 00:13:53.066
Yeah, I really believe that.

00:13:53.066 --> 00:13:54.850
Why don't I just push that on you Like it's an?

00:13:55.201 --> 00:13:56.325
you have been healed.

00:13:56.325 --> 00:13:57.990
You have been healed, you stupid whore.

00:14:00.321 --> 00:14:01.783
Accept it, you stupid whore.

00:14:01.783 --> 00:14:11.230
I saw a video that really reminded me of you, not because of the content, just because it feels like something you would be interested in.

00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:14.768
So I'd love to share it with you is this the thing that you sent me this morning?

00:14:14.768 --> 00:14:17.523
Oh no, but I do need to talk about that.

00:14:17.523 --> 00:14:18.907
I do, I do, I do.

00:14:18.907 --> 00:14:27.743
Yes, okay, I mean, if there is a story that fits our demographic, it is this oh, oh, my goodness, what's happening here?

00:14:27.964 --> 00:14:30.250
Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.

00:14:31.181 --> 00:14:35.451
A sponge on a stick was used as toilet paper in ancient Rome.

00:14:35.451 --> 00:14:41.592
Now this thing was communal and stored in public restrooms where many people would share it.

00:14:41.592 --> 00:14:48.264
After use, the sponge was supposed to be dipped in a bucket filled with salt water or vinegar to clean it.

00:14:48.264 --> 00:14:51.793
This helped disinfect it and prepare it for the next person.

00:14:51.793 --> 00:14:59.583
Once cleaned, the sponge was left in the bucket or hung to dry until needed again oh, um.

00:14:59.683 --> 00:15:06.394
so that was in ancient roman days, oh Uh-huh, but it was called a communal toilet sponge.

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:08.826
A communal toilet sponge.

00:15:08.826 --> 00:15:11.806
Wow, and is that how the Black Plague started?

00:15:12.288 --> 00:15:13.070
It must be.

00:15:13.070 --> 00:15:17.928
I could not believe it when I saw it, but again, I'd love for you to read some of these comments.

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.806
My first dude enjoyed it.

00:15:19.806 --> 00:15:28.134
Bro, really gave me an idea to open toilet business poor spongebob.

00:15:29.297 --> 00:15:40.488
Uh, you never failed to traumatize me, but I just found it very interesting because I, you know, I mean picture whether it's a stick or an actual device with a sponge on it.

00:15:40.488 --> 00:15:45.005
I guess you're just rubbing and getting the stuff off, right, yeah?

00:15:45.025 --> 00:15:45.989
I guess, I guess.

00:15:45.989 --> 00:15:49.226
So I mean, it makes me think of like a reusable baby wipe.

00:15:49.226 --> 00:15:50.931
Yeah, that's disgusting.

00:15:50.931 --> 00:15:52.966
You know, if you've ever wiped a baby's butt.

00:15:52.966 --> 00:15:54.611
You don't want to reuse that thing.

00:15:54.611 --> 00:15:55.855
No, you don't.

00:15:55.855 --> 00:16:02.870
But then again there are parents who believe in cloth diapers and they just take it, wash it and reuse it.

00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:05.414
So the Romans may have been on to something.

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:07.466
What do you wash that out on?

00:16:07.466 --> 00:16:10.370
There has to be like a basin outside right.

00:16:12.101 --> 00:16:13.105
You mean for a baby?

00:16:13.166 --> 00:16:13.587
diaper?

00:16:13.587 --> 00:16:16.386
Yes, because it can't go in your kitchen sink.

00:16:16.668 --> 00:16:18.153
I don't know, I'm not a parent.

00:16:18.153 --> 00:16:30.046
I'm just saying, oh Lord, we need to ask our friends, who are listeners, who are parents who use cloth diapers or used cloth diapers on your babies how do you clean them?

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.668
We need you to write in and tell us please.

00:16:33.201 --> 00:16:35.282
Write in and tell us so.

00:16:35.282 --> 00:16:52.460
You sent me a text this morning that I have thought about multiple times today and I'm really, really excited that we're celebrating your birthday almost a month after your birthday and as part of your birthday celebration, I have recommended that we watch this documentary together.

00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:55.750
So, your friend, tell me his name again.

00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.566
Well, his name is Daryl Anka.

00:16:58.566 --> 00:17:00.049
Is his name Daryl?

00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:24.452
Anka yes, so a woman has made a documentary about Daryl Anka channeling an extraterrestrial called Bashar yes, and we've talked about Bashar the past couple of episodes, and I am, I am really, really excited to watch this documentary because apparently it contains all of the wisdom that all of humankind needs to hear.

00:17:25.013 --> 00:17:27.047
Yes, and I've talked about him before.

00:17:27.047 --> 00:17:42.246
Um, but I found it so interesting that the timing of me sort of finding out about Bashar and Daryl Anka and that I was so excited that this movie is coming out, or is out, it's on, I think it's on Apple.

00:17:42.246 --> 00:17:43.986
Uh, you can watch it.

00:17:43.986 --> 00:17:45.765
Um, what's the name of it?

00:17:45.765 --> 00:17:46.027
Kat?

00:17:47.621 --> 00:17:50.410
Like hanging out with an extraterrestrial or something like that.

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.664
It is something like that.

00:17:51.664 --> 00:18:01.166
Let me look Interview with the extraterrestrial and what I understand it is a documentary about Daryl Anka.

00:18:01.166 --> 00:18:09.622
But this investigative journalist actually was like, okay, I need to know if this is real or not.

00:18:09.622 --> 00:18:20.633
And she had conversations with Daryl Anka and she was amazed at how the information just flowed, like it really there was never anything that stalled him.

00:18:20.633 --> 00:18:23.306
Like it was just like the information flowed.

00:18:23.306 --> 00:18:24.470
And I saw an interview just this past week with him.

00:18:24.470 --> 00:18:25.613
Like it was just like the information flowed.

00:18:25.633 --> 00:18:45.112
And I saw an interview just this past week with him and I don't know if it was recent or if it was just on my feed and was old, but he basically said, like the teachings of Bashar really boiled down to one idea and that is be yourself Really, yeah, or bring yourself forward.

00:18:45.112 --> 00:18:54.492
And the point of that is when we do that, we begin to recognize that we are part of each other.

00:18:54.492 --> 00:19:02.541
But we also are chasing our passions in life, which I have found to be a very common thing that he brings up a lot.

00:19:02.541 --> 00:19:09.698
So anyway, if you are interested in all of that craziness, it's called interview with the extraterrestrial and it's on Apple TV.

00:19:09.698 --> 00:19:11.508
We're going to watch it soon and we'll talk about it.

00:19:11.929 --> 00:19:12.390
Yeah, we're.

00:19:12.390 --> 00:19:19.388
We're going to watch it soon and it's going to be one question I have about the channeling of Bashar.

00:19:19.388 --> 00:19:39.977
That is a little bit hard for me and my um auditory sensory receiving obstacles, um orifices, whatever the right word is, is that when, when he channels Bashar, he always seems really angry.

00:19:40.698 --> 00:19:41.900
I know I'm with you.

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:48.008
There's a sensitive side to me that cannot like I'll find myself scrolling and I have to keep scrolling.

00:19:48.008 --> 00:20:01.198
Yeah, it's like more aggressive, I think, than angry, but it's super direct, sometimes like if someone is like okay, but I don't understand that and sometimes he'll go.

00:20:01.198 --> 00:20:08.397
What makes you understand that almost like, um, what is that guy on star Wars that you always talk about Like Spock?

00:20:08.397 --> 00:20:12.273
No, the guy who is the wisdom guy, oh, yoda.

00:20:12.515 --> 00:20:13.196
Oh my gosh.

00:20:13.484 --> 00:20:17.530
It almost like it comes across like that where it turns it back into a question.

00:20:17.530 --> 00:20:22.731
You're like that's not, but also like, if you can get through that.

00:20:22.731 --> 00:20:24.714
That is my only thing too, kat is.

00:20:24.714 --> 00:20:27.279
I feel too sensitive to watch it sometimes.

00:20:27.805 --> 00:20:29.608
I do too, and I also.

00:20:29.608 --> 00:20:33.215
It kind of triggers me to evangelical preaching.

00:20:33.215 --> 00:20:58.506
You know how, like some preachers, just it's like they're so passionate about what they're talking about that I feel like they're yelling at me and that's something that I've noticed is a pattern in my life, especially with men, is that if men are passionate about whatever they're talking about, I kind of get into like a like I get, I start feeling a little bit scared or a little bit uncomfortable.

00:20:59.107 --> 00:21:15.625
I don't think what you're feeling is their passion, because your body, in my opinion this is my opinion Uh, I think what you're feeling is actual aggressive anger and that's uncomfortable because I have plenty of men in my life, and yours as well.

00:21:15.625 --> 00:21:26.040
I'm sure that can be passionate and not come across in that angry, screaming way, cause I'm with you, cannot take somebody just railing.

00:21:26.201 --> 00:21:30.515
No, yeah, that's a really, that's, I'm going to really I'm going to contemplate that.

00:21:30.515 --> 00:21:31.810
Thank you so much, moose.

00:21:32.346 --> 00:21:33.944
I do have a recommendation for you, though.

00:21:33.944 --> 00:21:40.499
You can go on his website and read like all of his teachings, if you're interested.

00:21:41.204 --> 00:21:41.945
Oh, so I can.

00:21:41.945 --> 00:21:43.727
I can hear it in the tone that I want to interpret it.

00:21:43.727 --> 00:21:44.087
Yeah, that's nice.

00:21:44.087 --> 00:21:46.269
So I can hear it in the tone that I want to interpret it yeah, that's nice.

00:21:46.769 --> 00:22:11.010
Well, you know, this whole documentary is an interview with extraterrestrial and I had a thought the other day, coming back from my short beach trip with my family, and it was this I was in Buc-ee's, oh, and if you've been to a Buc-ee's, you know that everything is branded Buc-ee's.

00:22:11.010 --> 00:22:16.165
They have pajamas, they have t-shirts, they have cups, they have lighters, they have beef jerky They've got beef jerky.

00:22:16.165 --> 00:22:18.932
They've got nuggets They've got dog leashes.

00:22:19.011 --> 00:22:20.394
They've got dresses.

00:22:20.394 --> 00:22:22.038
I mean, let's stop.

00:22:22.038 --> 00:22:30.596
And for our friends who are not in the United States or in the South, because I think that's the majority of where Buc-ee's are Explain what a Buc-ee is.

00:22:30.596 --> 00:22:30.957
Kat.

00:22:31.224 --> 00:22:32.230
Well, a Buc-ee.

00:22:32.230 --> 00:22:49.240
I didn't know what it was either until this phenomenon happened, but apparently it's a beaver with buck teeth, and so his name is Buc-ee, b-u-c, dash, e-e, b-u-c-e-e, and Bucky is like it's just the head of the beaver.

00:22:49.240 --> 00:23:05.617
That is like the logo and everything has him on it, and it's basically like a gas station had a child with Walmart and everything came out looking like Bucky yeah it's true.

00:23:05.904 --> 00:23:13.337
And it's like some of the food is really good, like their French fries are better than even better than McDonald's French fries yes, like they're so good.

00:23:13.337 --> 00:23:17.365
So there's a handful of things that Bucky's has that is really really amazing.

00:23:17.365 --> 00:23:26.623
But it is huge and it has like, if you want to get a pack of gum, you've got like a whole aisle and a half to choose from.

00:23:26.623 --> 00:23:29.808
They've got every flavor, every color, every brand.

00:23:29.808 --> 00:23:31.211
It's just a lot.

00:23:31.211 --> 00:23:35.058
It's very American, like it feels very American.

00:23:35.224 --> 00:23:36.888
And it's like a destination.

00:23:36.888 --> 00:23:47.219
So like I mean, if you're on a road trip where you want to keep moving, don't stop, Cause there's like a hundred gas station aisles and it's going to take you an hour to get in and out.

00:23:47.219 --> 00:23:48.450
Yes, there are lines.

00:23:48.565 --> 00:23:49.730
There are tons of people.

00:23:49.730 --> 00:23:52.144
I mean it's very, very crowded all the time.

00:23:52.144 --> 00:24:08.535
And so I was at Buc-ee's the other day and thinking to myself if an alien were to come to Earth and Buc-ee's was their first experience, Right, Would that be representative of our planet?

00:24:10.426 --> 00:24:12.692
It would be representative of the United States.

00:24:13.596 --> 00:24:16.354
Yes, and that's also the conclusion that I came to.

00:24:18.006 --> 00:24:28.012
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that anyone, even just straight up Europeans that come over and see that, are like I mean they probably would think it's semi-cool.

00:24:28.012 --> 00:24:31.173
I mean it's not a dumb idea?

00:24:31.173 --> 00:24:33.464
I'll tell you that no, clearly not.

00:24:33.464 --> 00:24:40.976
You've got people that literally will route their trips to hit as many Buc-ee's as possible.

00:24:41.116 --> 00:24:42.659
Yes, so it's a spectacle.

00:24:42.659 --> 00:25:00.279
It is a spectacle and it's brilliant from a marketing standpoint because my mom and I she bought two t-shirts, we bought a sandwich, a burrito and some chicken tenders and fries and, I think, one drink and it was $77.

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:13.188
And I'm like it's like Target you can't get out of there without dropping a hundo, and it's like if there are 300 people in the gas station at all times, can you imagine the profit that they're churning?

00:25:13.188 --> 00:25:15.673
No Pretty wild.

00:25:16.034 --> 00:25:17.938
So they actually pay really well too.

00:25:17.938 --> 00:25:19.988
I heard someone say oh, that's cool.

00:25:20.367 --> 00:25:25.336
So I've seen it on their signs Like hey, the store manager makes 125,000 a year.

00:25:25.336 --> 00:25:31.953
I I mean they've got it like on, yeah, on their signs but I'm like what do you got to do to qualify to be a bucky store manager?

00:25:32.153 --> 00:25:35.388
golly I don't know, but I'll tell you this I don't want to do it.

00:25:35.388 --> 00:25:39.125
Do you know how many people somebody's gonna have a problem?

00:25:39.125 --> 00:25:40.930
Yep and they are.

00:25:40.930 --> 00:25:42.772
It's not gonna be pretty.

00:25:42.772 --> 00:25:45.137
That's a whole different level of problem.

00:25:45.137 --> 00:25:45.786
You know what I?

00:25:45.826 --> 00:25:47.933
mean, yes, I do, and in this other thing that I'm gonna bring, that's a whole different level of problem.

00:25:47.933 --> 00:25:48.355
You know what I mean?

00:25:48.355 --> 00:25:51.968
Yes, I do, and this other thing that I'm going to bring up is also a whole different level of problem that I would really love.

00:25:51.968 --> 00:25:53.853
I would love to get your take on.

00:25:53.853 --> 00:26:04.107
So I was watching a college football game recently and one of the players on a particular football team I'm not going to name who it was had.

00:26:04.107 --> 00:26:15.859
You know how they have the black stuff under their eyes, like the black paint that I guess helps make the glare from the stadium lights Not so bad, or I don't really know what it's for, but I think it's just war paint.

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:17.144
But so it war paint.

00:26:17.506 --> 00:26:23.135
So this guy had on war paint that was black and in white writing.

00:26:23.135 --> 00:26:28.825
Underneath his right eye it said kill, and underneath his left eye it said kill and underneath his left eye it said everyone.

00:26:28.825 --> 00:26:31.334
So it said kill everyone.

00:26:31.334 --> 00:26:33.491
Oh, I've seen this guy.

00:26:33.925 --> 00:26:35.030
Is this okay?

00:26:35.030 --> 00:26:36.590
I don't think so.

00:26:36.590 --> 00:26:39.590
I remember thinking the same thing Like wait a minute, why?

00:26:39.590 --> 00:26:41.153
Why is that Okay?

00:26:41.153 --> 00:26:42.516
Do we know why?

00:26:43.017 --> 00:27:10.272
I don't, I don't, I just to me it's like I know that, like there's the whole idea of freedom of speech and all of that kind of stuff and I don't contest that.

00:27:10.272 --> 00:27:11.938
I think freedom of speech is a wonderful affected by, by the things that you say.

00:27:11.938 --> 00:27:18.016
And I just wonder, I am curious again, I'm not saying like this is horrible, I'm more curious of like what are you trying to portray, Like what are you doing and is it okay?

00:27:19.026 --> 00:27:23.035
I agree, and it feels like it's just a little bit of attention to.

00:27:23.035 --> 00:27:24.846
I mean, here's where it comes from.

00:27:24.846 --> 00:27:25.429
It looks like.

00:27:25.429 --> 00:27:26.614
So what is?

00:27:26.614 --> 00:27:29.069
This is from Yahoo sports, by the way.

00:27:29.069 --> 00:27:31.596
So what was Williams referencing with his eye black?

00:27:31.596 --> 00:27:36.094
It likely referenced Alvin Mack and the famous football movie, the program.

00:27:36.094 --> 00:27:43.428
The 1993 movie was about several players from different backgrounds trying to cope with the pressures of playing football at a major university.

00:27:43.428 --> 00:27:50.268
And one scene in which Mac is watching film, he breaks down his defensive assignments like so Kill the quarterback.

00:27:50.268 --> 00:27:53.173
Hit the tight end so hard his girlfriend dies.

00:27:53.375 --> 00:27:56.372
Kill everybody, oh my gosh, I don't like that no.

00:27:56.605 --> 00:27:59.374
So anyway, it doesn't matter if it's from that or not.

00:27:59.374 --> 00:28:02.967
I agree, I don't want to see all that Mm-mm.

00:28:03.007 --> 00:28:03.208
Mm-mm, mm-mm.

00:28:03.208 --> 00:28:04.347
I don't want to see all that.

00:28:04.347 --> 00:28:05.710
I don't want to see all that either.

00:28:06.269 --> 00:28:07.270
Thanks for bringing that up.

00:28:07.270 --> 00:28:11.153
I feel like that I remember seeing that as well, but completely forgot about.

00:28:11.314 --> 00:28:20.902
Well, it's just been kind of like, it's just been kind of itching in the back of my memory, you know, and it's been me making me kind of go like I want to talk about this with my bestie.

00:28:35.325 --> 00:28:36.608
I want to go like hey, what do you, what do you think about this?

00:28:36.608 --> 00:28:37.211
Yeah, I don't like it at all.

00:28:37.211 --> 00:28:41.824
Okay, we had a listener share this quote with us, and it has been on my brain all day, and I would love for you to tell me what this means to you, so that I can know what it means to me.

00:28:42.905 --> 00:28:54.612
Okay, water will seek its level, nature will have free course and heart will answer to heart by William Lloyd Garrison.

00:28:54.612 --> 00:28:57.557
Hmm, so what does it mean to you?

00:28:58.740 --> 00:29:09.240
Well, I've read it a thousand times Water will seek its level, nature will have free course and heart will answer to heart, I mean to me.

00:29:10.606 --> 00:29:19.107
It says what will be will be in a lot of ways, yeah, yeah, that's kind of how I take it, because water will seek its level.

00:29:19.107 --> 00:29:31.032
Yeah, you know, like if, if water is happening up here and gravity is, you know, water is going to go down, I mean it's just that just is what's going to happen and nature will have free course.

00:29:31.032 --> 00:29:33.873
None of us can affect nature.

00:29:34.535 --> 00:29:36.330
I know I think about that all the time.

00:29:36.945 --> 00:29:39.952
Like none of us and it greatly affects us.

00:29:39.952 --> 00:29:54.718
I mean, with all this hurricane season has been horrific, horrific, and so it's basically, I think it's saying like you can't control water, you can't control nature, and also like like heart will answer to heart.

00:29:54.798 --> 00:30:41.457
It's like I just think it is very much like you you don't have control I know that's what I felt, and yet it was also kind of nice to be like, oh yeah good, I don't really want control heard the other day that absolutely cracked me up because my vacation with my family was really enjoyable, like it was really great and, as with most long-term encounters with family, there were moments of chaos and explosion and fighting and anger and all of that.

00:30:41.457 --> 00:30:45.471
And someone said to me well, you know the Ram Dass quote, don't you?

00:30:45.471 --> 00:30:47.096
And I was like what Ram Dass quote?

00:30:47.096 --> 00:30:52.736
And they said if you believe that you are enlightened, spend a week with your family.

00:30:53.518 --> 00:30:56.849
Yes, oh my gosh, I forgot about that quote.

00:30:56.849 --> 00:30:57.894
It's so true.

00:30:57.894 --> 00:31:02.257
I just spent time with my sister, adore her, went camping.

00:31:02.257 --> 00:31:04.711
I, I get it.

00:31:04.711 --> 00:31:08.296
There is like I think I text you this, isn't it amazing?

00:31:08.296 --> 00:31:10.169
Not about my sister at all.

00:31:10.169 --> 00:31:11.292
I love you, alicia.

00:31:11.292 --> 00:31:25.128
Um, but we were talking about, like, how different people can have different experiences growing up in the same family, and I, just I was like I believe our family are our first teachers.

00:31:25.730 --> 00:31:32.457
Yeah, because you can't get away from them, you don't really have a choice, at like six years old, to be like you're annoying.

00:31:32.457 --> 00:31:34.900
Yeah, I'm out you know yeah.

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:36.201
You don't have that choice.

00:31:36.424 --> 00:31:37.829
Yeah, I don't like the way you discipline me.

00:31:37.829 --> 00:31:38.653
I'm peacing out.

00:31:38.653 --> 00:31:41.027
You know it's like no, you don't get to choose.

00:31:41.027 --> 00:31:47.173
And I went and looked up the quote because I was like I'm so I'd like to know a little bit more about this and all of that.

00:31:47.173 --> 00:31:47.913
And it said this.

00:31:47.913 --> 00:31:54.621
It said the quote is often used during holidays when people may feel anxious or emotionally challenged by family dynamics.

00:32:01.005 --> 00:32:02.871
Family dynamics are often set in childhood to your point and can continue throughout life.

00:32:02.871 --> 00:32:09.390
People may feel like they're no longer the mature person they think they are when they're back with their family.

00:32:09.390 --> 00:32:16.089
And I had a few, I had a few moments where I just had to step away, like I was like I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna step away.

00:32:16.089 --> 00:32:20.465
And to your point of like our family are our first teachers.

00:32:20.465 --> 00:32:24.957
I was hanging out with my nephews and going like we're all they know.

00:32:24.957 --> 00:32:27.226
Like like I mean yes, there's school people and stuff like that're all they know.

00:32:27.226 --> 00:32:28.771
Like like I mean, yes, they're school people and stuff like that too.

00:32:28.771 --> 00:32:36.730
But it's like since infancy, we sorry guys we're your tribe yeah, exactly, you don't get to.

00:32:36.769 --> 00:32:45.894
Whether you like it or not, like, your soul picked this body and this family, so don't forget that you got to choose.

00:32:46.115 --> 00:32:47.018
That's what I believe.

00:32:48.586 --> 00:32:52.094
A lot of people say that we do choose who.

00:32:52.335 --> 00:32:54.159
You know what our, who our teachers will be?

00:32:54.159 --> 00:32:57.115
I don't, I don't remember making that choice whatsoever.

00:32:59.407 --> 00:33:02.114
I mean I guess I'm got pretty lucky, honestly.

00:33:02.153 --> 00:33:04.267
Yes, yeah, I think we both did yeah.

00:33:05.067 --> 00:33:11.511
Um, okay, so, speaking of our families and death, um, we didn't talk about death, but I'm going to.

00:33:12.114 --> 00:33:15.704
Um, so have I talked about the TikTok algorithm?

00:33:15.704 --> 00:33:35.105
I've been stuck in, so I am not sure why, maybe because I'm sure it has something to do with the things like Google, but I am stuck in the Tik TOK algorithm of people sharing their first symptoms before they were diagnosed with cancer.

00:33:35.105 --> 00:33:52.430
Oh, okay, so these are people who've already been diagnosed and, like, as a way to help others, they're saying, hey, just I'm not saying you have cancer if this happened to you, but, fyi, here were my first symptoms, which is super cool that they even would take the time to do that.

00:33:52.430 --> 00:33:52.671
Yeah, really.

00:33:52.671 --> 00:34:18.838
And so, as I've been like exploring all of that, um, I've just been like, so impressed with the attitudes of these folks who, many of them are, have terminal cancer and know that you know they're sometimes in their twenties and thirties and you know not that they're sharing everything on Tik TOK, but their attitude is very like I want to help others and I I want to live my last days in a beautiful way.

00:34:19.726 --> 00:34:20.487
And anyway.

00:34:20.567 --> 00:34:32.849
So because I've been stuck in this algorithm, it's just made me think a lot about death and a lot about how, as we are in our midlife, we talk about this a lot.

00:34:32.849 --> 00:34:39.432
You know, that's when you start noticeably changing, uh, your body changing.

00:34:39.432 --> 00:34:50.250
You are noticing aging and and all the different things that happen as we get older, and I think, naturally, people our age are losing their parents in some ways, or parents are sick.

00:34:50.250 --> 00:35:14.878
But also, like the big scary moments are when people our age are like being diagnosed with things that are terminal illnesses or stuff they have to fight, and so all that to say, I think, in your forties is really in my, my experience is when I have started going like, okay, what is this whole idea of like death being a part of life?

00:35:14.985 --> 00:35:43.998
You hear that phrase all the time like, well, it's just a part of life and it's like, well, that's cute and all until it's somebody you really care about and then it's, you know, super hard, and so anyway, I I have been exploring this idea of like what if we take and again, I'm not saying it's not going to be hard when people we love die, but how do you really believe that like it is a part of.

00:35:43.998 --> 00:35:45.963
I need to embrace that that is coming.

00:35:45.963 --> 00:35:49.981
Have you had any experiences with that of like thinking about death more?

00:35:49.981 --> 00:35:53.418
This is going to be a top rated episode.

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:57.751
Yes, I think this is going to be one where people are like that was really hilarious.

00:35:57.751 --> 00:36:01.175
Bye, never listening again.

00:36:01.175 --> 00:36:03.539
I don't.

00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:09.266
I mean I I obviously have had experiences with death of people close to me.

00:36:09.266 --> 00:36:29.307
You know, my dad passed away, I've had relatives pass away, I've had dogs pass away, I've had friends pass away, and so so I don't know that my attitude about it has really those things still have hurt.

00:36:29.307 --> 00:36:35.380
