Shit. We go dive in a cat.
00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:45.840
Hey, moose.
00:00:46.109 --> 00:00:54.719
Ah, do you want me to give you something that will cheer you up? Before we dive in? Let's turn on let's start on the high.
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:55.380
Why not?
00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:59.939
I'm going to share start on a high end end on a low please keep listening.
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:30.599
Okay, it's not what I have for you, Sarah. It's something else I know. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry, too. Okay, so I am going to share screen. Just give me a second guys. I'm gonna go ah. I saw this. Wait. I'm so angry.
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:42.090
Oh one is okay with this. Okay, that's just weird, man. This is those of you who are not patrons. How dare you.
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:50.939
Let me shame you first. It's only $5 so we're gonna explain it. But did you got just got to go see this?
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:56.099
Yeah, you got to go see this.
00:01:51.420 --> 00:02:49.770
And speaking of patrons, one of my classmates, slash instructors said to me the other day he said, I'd really like to come and be on your podcast. And I think that we will certainly have him on the podcast and he said I what I really want is I want to see the behind the scenes I want to see like what it is that you guys do. And I'm like, you can do that for $5 get to $5 you know what you can get for $5. I'm gonna tell you, you can get what we're looking at, which is basically a boomerang video. I'm not even going to tell you the name of the Instagram because you got to go see it yourself. But it's a boomerang video of this. There's the certain Instagram account that shows all the crazy shit that happens on subways. And so this is something that someone caught on their camera. I don't know. Do you think it's staged?
00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:54.000
It has to be because that can't be like real that cannot be normal.
00:02:54.060 --> 00:03:01.139
It cannot it is 2021 that is our new normal. Can you explain what you're watching?
00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:41.849
The first thing the first thing I thought when I saw this Boomerang video on Instagram, at the account that we won't mention that has to do with people who ride some ways. As I thought that guy has my green shirt from emogene and Willie like that was the first thing I thought when I saw this. And then I was like wait a minute What's happening? And then I was like, Oh, my gosh, like this.
00:03:33.360 --> 00:04:02.310
I'm going to assume male Origin The male gender of words in person is sitting down and next to him looks like a female of origin person sitting next to him. They are holding hands and she is reaching her left hand across her body and across his left arm and she is fondling his nipple.
00:04:02.550 --> 00:04:18.480
Yeah, you heard that right people. She is taking her thumb and her left forefinger and reaching through his polo shirt to pinch and caress his nipple.
00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:29.939
I mean, that's what we're led to assume is well, any I don't think it's staged. I think people this is what we're all self soothing.
00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:36.420
And this is what she does to self soothe. Okay, here's my question. What does she do when he's not around?
00:04:37.709 --> 00:04:43.829
I mean, she's got access to two of them one grabs a stranger's and starts falling.
00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:49.170
What would you do if somebody did that to you?
00:04:50.370 --> 00:05:07.680
I don't know. Alright, one more thing to prove the world is going crazy. Have you heard what Nicki Minaj said about the vaccine. We all I'm going to unshare this so we don't have to look at it anymore. You know that I can see you again, I feel better in my body now.
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:20.310
So we always have different names on the zoom, based on usually how we're feeling sometimes just to be funny. And today, yours is what?
00:05:21.178 --> 00:05:28.470
Today my name says everything with a period at the end, just to give you a little.
00:05:29.730 --> 00:06:31.379
Yeah, just a little bit of omega n, much like we talked about a couple of episodes ago, it's been a really long time since either of us have said the F word on the podcast. And you know, we have little ears that are listening. So we want to be sensitive to that. And this week, I just kind of feel like everything, man. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's been a really, really hard week, like I've had to be an adult, and show up as an adult, like, at 100%. Like everyday this week, and like, I am raw, like, I have got third degree burns all over my body is how I feel. I'm so sorry. Well, I apologize. If I've added to any of your burns, I would like to come and put some Balam or salv on it. That's a moose bound. I think that's a merge item. And then wrap it up and then put an IV of tequila into your veins. Slow down your heartbeat enough to take a nap.
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.110
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. How's your week, Ben?
00:06:38.009 --> 00:07:05.790
I'm not not too different from yours. You know, like, Man, I'm trying, you know, and I think that's all we can ask from each other. I feel I feel like I'm showing up, you know, I'm being present. And I'm trying to be a good communicator and do my job, you know, and challenge and inspire my team to do their job.
00:07:06.389 --> 00:07:18.480
And I feel like if I were a battery, I would be at about 25% trying to do the 100% you know, so that's where I'm at.
00:07:18.509 --> 00:07:33.209
Well, I wonder if like, Is it something that's going on in the cosmos like is it is like mercury in like quadruple retrograde or something is Pluto like in the house of Neptune in the fourth house of Scorpio or some shit?
00:07:33.298 --> 00:07:39.059
I think so. I think the enneagram is in the fourth house of chakras.
00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:50.459
sounds exactly like what I needed to hear. Thank you. The enneagram is in the fourth house.
00:07:52.350 --> 00:07:59.970
Like that's, that's where my spirituality is about. Oh, man.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.610
Okay, I have to tell you something funny. That happened.
00:08:02.610 --> 00:08:54.299
I had therapy this morning at 11am Central time. And I'm still doing zoom with my therapist, which by the way, I saw her at a restaurant last night. You did and I was with my friend who also goes to her Oh, did you guys like totally fan girl and like get her autograph and say hi and hug her and stuff? No. So it was at a restaurant where you go inside the order and there's a bunch of picnic tables outside but then there's also tables inside. And she was at a picnic table on the outside and I didn't want to disturb her you know, it wasn't like we made eye contact and so I was just like oh my god oh my god. Oh my god, she's a real person. And then I go inside and I ate my father which we need to talk about that. Why would you pronounce it Fah well, because if you're Vietnamese that's not a bad word.
00:08:54.330 --> 00:08:56.549
Well it's on the way to a bad word.
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.729
It is on the way to a bad word.
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:11.370
So you guys were hanging out at wheeze kitchen I'm going to assume that you were hanging out with Ruthie yes so far. You have you have cracked the puzzle. Yes, yes this is a very complicated one.
00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:58.169
And so we see our therapist our conjoined therapist and anyway we go there's no tables outside so we can't even go sit buyer you know and so we keep making jokes like like what if we both just go tackle her so much you know or bar walk up and like we need actually friendship therapy or you know and I was like I would never do that I would never do it. So anyway, we ended up not really seeing her but it was kind of weird to see her last night and then I have therapy today. But back to therapy today so we I do this visualization which I love that I get to do with my therapist, because it literally calms me down when I'm eyes are closed and I'm creating another world like that's fantastic right now.
00:09:56.370 --> 00:10:45.479
That is fantastic. Yeah, so She wanted me to basically find a path and describe the path to her and in my mind I was in the woods and there were these like patio pavers that were kind of leading my way. And then she said, Okay, now there's a clearing as a, you know, of course, she takes the time to walk me down the path. She's like, now there's a clearing, I want you to notice how you feel what the clearing and then eventually I keep going. And there's a house and the house represents in my therapy. It represents like, my sort of my grid or my structure of all the different traumas and personalities in my life. You know how we talked about the girl with the blood coming out of her eyes?
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.679
Right, and thanks to me, that's the visual.
00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:56.250
Exactly. So I you know, I'm like, okay, we're back in that house. But it was interesting.
00:10:53.730 --> 00:12:11.039
She was like, Can you describe the house and I've always pictured it as a farm house, but I never really had any specifics to it. And I immediately picture like, this old wooden kind of dilapidated house that has been very weathered, but you could still see like the white it's a White House it's kind of chippy woods, kind of chippy. And so she intentionally only led me there and and and the the analogy or metaphor that that represented in my life is and this is so like, I feel emotional even saying this, but that my, the, my inner true itself is been exiled into this house. Wow. So she's bringing me to see her. But I'm not going in like we're not going in for a minute. Um, so she's standing out there. And she's like, I just wanted to acknowledge the house and like, it was creepy man. Like, I just felt like there was a bunch of freaking kids in there staring at me. And you know, there's nothing I hate in horror movies worse than kids and especially kids that crawl very fast. You I either movie us which no one should ever wash.
00:12:06.149 --> 00:12:34.769
It's so amazing. And the metaphor that immediately comes into my mind I'm curious, I would love for our listeners to write or call or text in and tell us what metaphor came to your mind. But I immediately thought those are all the children in there that you You always say all the time that we are just children and adult bodies. So those are just all your children.
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:58.409
Why do they turn into a horror movie for me? That's a whole other drama. Right? Okay, one day I need our listeners to remind us I'm not in the mood but we're getting towards Halloween. One day I need to talk about on the podcast how I went to therapy because I thought Freddy Krueger was real.
00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:11.850
Yeah, you do need to talk about cracked smile, you bastard.
00:13:02.190 --> 00:13:15.029
Weird, but my father is to blame and I will beat his ass in heaven or hell.
00:13:16.710 --> 00:13:37.080
Yeah, I am. I am maybe not intimately familiar with that story, but I am vaguely familiar. So that's where the smile comes from. And I immediately thought that will be one of the best episodes of the cat podcast that will ever exist. All right, we'll do that for the Halloween episode.
00:13:37.350 --> 00:13:37.980
I love it.
00:13:38.609 --> 00:13:40.528
What the hell was I talking about though?
00:13:40.559 --> 00:14:51.210
your therapist in your visualization in the house? That is the exiled you Oh yeah. Okay, so then she's like, Okay, so we're kind of ending I always ask her to be in charge at the time because I'm such a friggin control freak that I always fear like oh my god I'm getting too into this or I'm too emotional or vulnerable and then we got to like back out really quick. So I actually always asked her and she appreciates that like can you be in charge at the time which is funny because I think she was in charge at the time already. It is her business right? Okay, yeah, yeah. So back to the house. I like wake up from this visualization. I'm not hypnotized but I kind of come out of this trance and we're doing like the quick wrap up and she's like, Is there anything you noticed that based on what just happened that was important to you? And I said, Yeah, I just think it's really weird that the house I kept picturing is the house and To Kill a Mockingbird that everyone is afraid of. Wow, do you remember that like they thought like there was a witch in there was a witch. It was some sort of like, what?
00:14:51.450 --> 00:15:06.029
Okay, there is a gross assumption that's being made right now. That you've seen To Kill a Mockingbird that I've read or so To Kill a Mockingbird? Well, this is great because I want to rewatch it. So let's watch it together.
00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:50.159
But it's like it's like a classic book that every adult, I am not here to shame you. And most days I am here to shame you. But today, I am giving you Do you know why I'm giving you Grace? No. Because one time we had a really close friend of yours, say, I suggest that you were not well read. Uh huh. And I remember it hurting your feelings so badly. The last thing I'm gonna do is be like, yes. Miss Cathy on you right now.
00:15:51.539 --> 00:17:05.880
Because Kathy is loud and clear in my mind. And in my body right now. I told my bodywork practitioner last week, I said, Hey, I wanted to thank you for something I wanted to thank you for introducing me to the author, Alison Bechdel, who has written several books. And the one that I just got done reading is called Fun Home. And I said I want to thank you for for recommending that author in that book to me, and she just kind of nodded at me like kind of like, I think to mean like, kind of You're welcome. And, and I said, I said I referred her I recognize that the books like 87 pages long. And it is a graphic novel. You like two months to read it like two minds. But by God, I read that whole damn book from front to back, and I loved it. Well, look, here's the thing I think we have to get. And I recognize that these are very small issues. But let's have some fun, because the big issues we can't dive into right now. So I was with somebody recently who totally shamed me and my friend for being audio book people, what they were like, that's not really reading.
00:17:06.029 --> 00:17:17.640
And I was like, are you to tell me that I that isn't reading and they're like, No, no, that's not the actual work of reading. And I was like, if that's how you learn, and that's how you learn.
00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:30.390
Yeah, it's like if you tell me that the only way that I can actually know I can't even have this conversation. I'm already mad at the whole entire world.
00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:42.990
The people who are gonna judge me for not reading, like I know a lot, man, I am really, really, really, really smart. And I do good with flashcards and comic books and adult graphic novels.
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.250
Like I read dammit, just not like the average person.
00:17:45.509 --> 00:17:55.920
I know like that. That's why I haven't gone to grad school yet is I refuse to take the Jr.
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:55.920
Care.
00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:00.900
Because they're gonna ask you questions about American literature that you don't know about?
00:18:00.930 --> 00:18:12.359
No, just because they're gonna ask me math question which I whatever. I just I refuse. I refuse to prove myself anymore.
00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:26.039
I'd love that. I said to my therapist, last week when I saw her that I was also considering graduate school for counseling.
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:39.210
And she gave me this look that like it was, it was fine. It was just like, she kind of like, couldn't not shake her head. No.
00:18:40.440 --> 00:19:38.250
And so like, I was like, what I was like, Do you not think I can do it? And she's like, No, no, no, it's not that I don't think you can do it. She just said it's just a lot of reading. And so at that moment, are you serious? Yes. Yes. She told me she was like it's just a lot of reading and she's like, it's not a lot of like hands on practical and she goes you know, you're going to school right now for integrative bodywork. And she's like, that's very, like practical, very hands on. And I'm like, yeah, and like, I'm learning a lot about it. I know a lot about it. I'm not even done. Yeah. And she was like, that's my point. Like, she didn't say that. But that's kind of what I perceived her point to be is that it's like, okay, the kind of learning that you seem to enjoy and embrace is not the kind of learning that goes into a counseling degree. And then she reminded me, she reminded me She goes, I'm also a PhD. And I was like, thanks.
00:19:38.339 --> 00:20:17.549
Oh, what? She what? I'm not happy about any of this. First of all. Like, who in the hell are you to see I can't read a damn book and in the same breath, do they make textbooks and audio book? Right. They have they have to share it. Here's what I do. And yeah, oh man like this is, this is the truth. I buy the book. And then if I have the space to listen to the book and I'm not doing something else, I highlight the book. Oh, that's smart as I'm listening.
00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:33.359
That's really smart because I like to also see the words are weird podcasts for like slow readers or categories like s3, you too can also feel comfortable in your body with being slow.
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:45.690
God help us. Help us all. Oh my gosh. So what happened like at the end of the session, and after you saw the House of Horrors, and like what happened?
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:53.009
Which makes me think my Do you remember the movie? Little Shop?
00:20:53.009 --> 00:20:57.960
befores? Yeah. Well, apparently I pronounce horror as horror.
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:20.700
Oh, I've learned it. So I told my brother. One time like when we were young, I was like, we're going to see movies. I was like, do you want to go and he's like, well, maybe you guys want to see I was like Little Shop of Horrors. And he was. I heard him walk to my mom's bedroom and knock on the door and said, Mom, do you realize the girls are going to see a movie called Little Shop of Horrors.
00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:27.359
Anyway, random. It's kind of like that Dolly Parton movie the best little whorehouse in Texas.
00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:32.190
Oh, yeah. You know what's crazy? I'm a huge Dolly fan, but I haven't ever seen that movie.
00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:48.029
Well, we need to watch to kill the Little House of Horrors and the best little whorehouse and it's a movie it's a movie marathon. News and producers.
00:21:48.569 --> 00:22:18.000
Well, hey, if if it's true, then what the youth pastor said to get me to repent and and give my life to Jesus. If it's true that we see a movie at the end of our life, let's just get together and watch it because the name of my life will be Little House of Horrors. And I'll just be small little mooses like trying to kill one another and then ultimately, they end up banding together to come kill the giant.
00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:18.000
That's in real life.
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.339
Oh, no, no, no, no, that's such a sad end, do you?
00:22:23.549 --> 00:22:32.039
Well, they're exiled. They might be pissed that I'm exiled. I don't know. I would be pissed if somebody locked me in a house a house.
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:43.200
There are probably some anger things that would be worth dealing with. And maybe you should reconsider body work.
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:54.900
Well, apparently, you know, a my therapist wants me to do a two day intensive to face my trauma.
00:22:49.230 --> 00:22:56.609
Oh, so I guess it's I guess you go in the house at that point.
00:22:59.009 --> 00:23:00.660
And totally renovate it.
00:23:00.990 --> 00:24:03.960
Well, listen, I I'm telling you my childhood in when I was at my father's house, which were summers and Christmas, they involved horror movies. I don't know why someone would do this to their children. So yeah, and then for some reason, because we were into horror movies. We were in the haunted houses too. So I can't picture like small children. Like she's like, okay, I want you know how all the therapists are like find a picture of yourself at 10 years old. And I want you to talk to her, you know, I'm so glad my therapist has never well my therapist didn't either but I know that it's like a thing. And so it's like first of all there was a fire so there's no pictures and then secondly, I don't remember her god she's like, you know what she like?
00:24:00.329 --> 00:24:10.259
I'm like, I don't know. I have no idea she's like okay, let's start with features I'm like don't know looks like a demon child. That's all I've got.
00:24:17.190 --> 00:24:31.890
My therapist um what's what's the word? She correct me she correct me. What's the word? She was like? She set a boundary she goes I am not okay with you calling yourself a demon. I was like, Why do you get to choose?
00:24:34.410 --> 00:24:41.849
Yeah, you don't get to choose what I call myself. therapy sessions lately.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.079
Yeah.
00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:55.259
How those go Just give me a couple words. Let me guess.
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:01.710
Everything Yeah, pretty much Pretty much.
00:25:03.509 --> 00:25:07.950
Yeah, I'll give you I'll give you a couple of words of wisdom.
00:25:08.009 --> 00:25:20.759
I'm good. I know when you get the full on giggles that it's just gonna be the most self deprecating thing I've ever heard in my life.
00:25:23.490 --> 00:26:03.450
She said, she said to me, you've been good episode. I will scrap all of my material for the next episode.
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.970
Yeah.
00:26:11.009 --> 00:26:25.980
Okay, so the thing I will narrate what's happening to know about cat is when something she gets face to face with something that is truthful yet ironic, or like this has been told before.
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:48.029
It's like, the way she deals with the trauma is to laugh her ass off. So that's what's happening. And again, this is worth $5 people. If you want us to quit our jobs and do this full time, please. Oh my god again.
00:26:49.980 --> 00:27:08.849
Love that, like three minutes of this is just gonna be so sorry. Everybody, like everybody's done that like 15 minute, 15 minutes or 15 second thing. The two things really bad podcast. Apple just puts a thing in there where it skips 15 minutes.
00:27:08.910 --> 00:27:16.349
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.
00:27:08.910 --> 00:27:47.819
She said to me. I think until I can't wait cuz I love what she says until you are free.
00:27:29.130 --> 00:28:05.640
Free from the fear. You're not going to experience to free. Oh, if I was gonna double down on any I will. I will give a little update what she said. Until you are free.
00:28:09.269 --> 00:28:22.799
Until you don't fear, oh, this young that you're afraid of losing. You're never going to be like fully free. And then she was gonna double down on anything. I would double down on you.
00:28:48.630 --> 00:29:10.680
Like it's so funny to me that I can't Oh, man. Heard number here.
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:11.970
Yeah, who believes in you more than you do?
00:29:22.589 --> 00:29:44.700
I don't even know her. What? I don't know myself. So you didn't know. It's like, that's kind of weird. So you, you told your therapist that you didn't even know yourself? Well, yeah, I'm saying like, I'm with you. I'm lost.
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.970
Oh, let's read some more books.
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:58.740
Maybe we'll maybe we'll make our therapist. No, they don't. My therapist says all the time. Intellectually.
00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:08.250
You know, all of this. But you haven't like let it invade the rest of your life in your body.
00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:08.970
Yeah, yeah. Okay so can we break that down?
00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:22.440
No, it'll take three our bonus episode okay so Wow What did you take away from that?
00:30:24.119 --> 00:33:43.230
Clearly it seems really absurd so um what I what I really took away from that is I thought to myself Miss has been talking to me about my fear of losing things and how that just really cripples me and so it just made me think like Gosh, it's like it's like I'm in a place where like, I pay a doctor of clinical psychology who I want to believe really cares about me like I pay her to tell me sayings that I have been being told for decades and I still for some reason can't hear it or I can't embody it or I can't like it's like in the thing that's different now though is that when she said that I was like I'm going to work toward that I'm going to work toward not being afraid of losing the thing you know like and whatever the thing is for you it doesn't matter what it is for me or is for anybody it matters very deeply what it is for you whoever is listening but in this moment It doesn't matter what my thing is that the thing is is that like I am so terrified of losing it that like I'm crippled by it and I can't have true freedom and then on top of that, it's like actually like more than that thing more than anything else around you or a person around you or a client or anything like that like what you can definitely count on cat as you write you can count on you and I was like what does that mean you know and it's like you know what, like, I actually like have thought about that and I was like you know what, like to the point of tears like I work really really really hard to come through like time and time and time and time again you know and it's like well I guess I could bet on me because like I think that like I think I'm worth betting on and I haven't ever really truly been able to receive that as possibly being the truth and I can only absorb it for about 30 seconds and then I need to talk about something else you know but it's like there's just there's there's something about going like I have everything I need like right not everything I need but like I have I have a lot that is very worthy and worthy of being relied upon and worthy of being celebrated and and poured into and all of that you know and it's like I don't know I feel like this is the first time in my life I've been able to hear those two things that actually go like I can actually receive that that's beautiful cat not for very long, but I can receive that well okay this is something that I have been thinking about and I just want to see if it overlays on your situation at all say that it all goes away like we don't live in America we live you know on an island and Southeast Asia and you take your core group of family and friends with you so your you know your mom's there are good you know group of friends is there.
00:33:43.920 --> 00:34:12.119
anyone you want will take with us okay, and we live in like this call to sack very Americanized version of the Philippines. I'm sorry, it's in the Philippines. Um, but I'm trying to get America out of our head for a minute. Okay. And like we all do little trade stuff in order to pay our our rent or mortgage or whatever it is that we have. We all have like our things so I make like friendship bracelets.
00:34:12.480 --> 00:35:40.559
Absolutely. Yeah, make friendship bracelets and friendship, anklets like that kind of thing. You're kind of known for your anklets, by the way, yeah. Sweet. So we're all in this area. And you know, nobody has nobody, we all work at the same company. And it's a great, it's a pretty good company, you know, and we all kind of do our thing and then but the thing we all look forward to is at four o'clock we do we all cook together, and we have dinner together and we have wine and whatever it is that we want. And we talked about our days and we had worked around each other a little bit. But we like to we have this conversation about our days and and what we're excited for what has been hard and like it's this amazing community of people and In that world, we aren't afraid of losing. Because we just have very simplistic lives, you know, like, we're, we don't really have that many fears outside of losing one another, you know, that is the freaking world I want to get to where I'm not working in order to keep something I'm working. When I even say working like, I want to get to a place where my finances are at a place where it's like, I can walk away from anything.
00:35:35.489 --> 00:35:43.019
Yeah, but I continue my priority is continually relationships.
00:35:43.710 --> 00:35:51.659
Yeah, I love that. I really, really love that I would really enjoy that too. And, and is it?
00:35:47.130 --> 00:36:00.900
Is it that simple mousse? Is it that? Is it just that we've become westernized? Like we've become Americanized? That, that we're driven so much by that?
00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:02.699
Like, is that all it is?
00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:26.159
I'm not I'm not saying at all it is I often think that when we are holding on to something too tightly, that could be an I'm not a therapist, either, let me just say that. But my own opinion is that there's usually a reason we're holding on to something so tight, it represents something in our past that's like a trauma response.
00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:59.699
So it could be some of that to where it's like that represents something for me that's like the golden goose or the golden egg that I need to hold on to. But I do think that if we start recognizing, like, all right, I am if we can get to a place where we're financially, I don't know and dependent, whether that means paying off debt or saving a ton of money, or whatever the things are, I don't know what it is, but maybe we are less dependent on the scary stuff that holds us in place.
00:36:59.969 --> 00:38:02.190
Yeah, I really I like the sound of that I like the idea of that and, and I also recognize that like, I'm very fickle and very human and also really like my creature comforts too late I don't I don't want to not have air conditioning I don't want to not have a roof over my head. I don't want to not have a pickup truck and a car and you know, I don't want to not have a cell phone and like there are things that it's like okay, those things like you stack them, you know, one on top of the other and then it's like well then there's the almighty thing called money, you know, and it's like, the more of it the less happy you are, and bla bla bla bla bla, you know, you speaking of Southeast Asia, and an island makes me automatically think of Australia which makes me automatically think about Kathy in Australia, which makes me think about a thing that I was having a discussion the other night and I wanted to pose a question to you. Do you enjoy in the summertime here in Middle Tennessee, do you enjoy fresh tomatoes?
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:23.519
I mean, if if somebody is gonna cut me a tomato, put some salad on it. Kind of pronounced the owl and serve it to me. I think it's delicious. I'm not a big tomato person. As far as like, I don't like tomatoes on my salad or on my sandwich and stuff like that. But I do like a really fresh tomato. Yes.
00:38:23.730 --> 00:38:57.750
Okay. Well, I really love fresh tomatoes, especially in Capri say salad, which I didn't even know what that was like six years ago. But now I do. And it's like tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and maybe a little bit of Basel, some basil that was for you, Nikki, and then a little balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil, salt and pepper. I really, really love a fresh tomato in that in that setting. And so I was saying to this friend the other day, how blessed we are that we have friends who grow fresh tomatoes.
00:38:52.289 --> 00:39:05.369
And it's like in June, July, August, September, tomatoes are really plentiful. But then in the other times of the year.
00:39:01.349 --> 00:39:38.190
It's like the tomatoes you get you have to get it from the grocery store. And they're hard and their cores are like almost white. Like they're so hard and tense and they're not like luscious and juicy. And I said But hang on a second. We're in the Northern Hemisphere. And so I think it's true that in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are exactly the opposite. So what I'm wondering is I'm wondering could we get fresh, luscious summer tomatoes from Kathy in Australia, like in January?
00:39:38.250 --> 00:39:43.469
I think it's illegal to like import frozen vegetables, isn't it?
00:39:44.250 --> 00:40:34.469
I thought it was like bovine or something. Like if you've if you've encountered any livestock and your travels overseas, please mark X on this immigration form. And it's like Nah, that's all I know is that immigration form. So maybe You can ship them, maybe she can. And I'm thinking like, Kathy, I'll pay you, I'll Venmo you like whatever it is, if you've got some delicious Australian summertime tomatoes, come January, February of next year, like, I just want you to know, I'm your patron like, I would love some delicious tomatoes in the winter, because I really, really love getting to have fresh tomatoes. And then that sent me on this deep, deep, deep dive of all of the differences between the northern and the southern hemisphere. So if you're interested in that news, we can talk about it.
00:40:34.530 --> 00:40:51.869
I would love to I one thing, I'm guessing it has something to do with that maybe it has more to do with the equator. But when I was going to Alaska, I kept seeing this phrase. Oh, the Continental Divide. Oh, yeah.
00:40:47.010 --> 00:40:59.699
And I was like, What is that? So I looked it up. And it was basically like, I guess a watershed where both of the oceans meet? Which How do you even know? Right?
00:40:59.730 --> 00:41:15.059
Is it is that where like the zero degrees? longitude is? Is it like in? In like the Great Pacific? Like where the? I don't know, I didn't read that. That's amazing. But tell us about the northern and southern hemisphere?
00:41:15.090 --> 00:41:19.139
Well, you mentioned the equator.
00:41:15.090 --> 00:41:27.239
So the thing that divides in First of all, do you even know what a hemisphere is? I feel like it's an area of the globe.
00:41:22.320 --> 00:43:20.519
It is. So a sphere, like a globe is a sphere. And a hemisphere is half of us beer. Oh, so cool. We have the northern half of the spear, which is the northern hemisphere, and then the southern half of the sphere, which is the southern hemisphere. And if you go to the southern hemisphere, and I'm saying this as if most of our listeners are in the Northern Hemisphere, and I can back that up with science by saying 90% of the human population lives in the Northern Hemisphere. Oh, really? Yeah. So if you're listening, and you're in the southern hemisphere, then AI is going to feel like I'm talking to you like, there are less of you experiencing a thing it's in there are those of us experiencing I think in the Northern Hemisphere, so it's it's non judgement. And I'm actually really jealous of you because I want to be in the 10% and not the 90. What are some continents that are in the southern hemisphere. continents that are in the southern hemisphere are Antarctica, the South Pole, the bottom third, or maybe even two thirds of Africa, the bottom part of us all of South America, Australia. Those are, those are the continents that are in the southern hemisphere or partly in the southern hemisphere. And like I said 90% of the human population lives in the Northern Hemisphere. And interestingly enough, the northern hemisphere has 60% water 40% land, the southern hemisphere has 80% water 20% land, so there is naturally less pollution in the southern hemisphere. There's less humans to do terrible things to the earth in the southern hemisphere. And if you are in the southern hemisphere, the stars are much brighter for you. Oh, really? That's important to me. Yeah, in the moon appears in the southern hemisphere upside down.
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:30.989
How do you know though? Oh, I've done some deep dive. No way we wait. But maybe we see it upside down and writers is upside.
00:43:30.989 --> 00:44:09.630
Right? Right? You're exactly right. So it appears to people in the Northern Hemisphere that in the southern hemisphere, the moon is upside down and vice versa. So Kathy in Australia probably thinks like, gosh, the moon in America looks super weird. It's upside down. You know, toilets flush in a different direction. In the southern hemisphere. Sarah is doing this like hurricanes, tornadoes. They all turn a different direction in the southern hemisphere than they do in the Northern Hemisphere. It's true. We What do you mean they turn a different direction?
00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:21.210
Well, like it's okay with it. So the weather and in our hemisphere, as far as I know, usually goes west to east, are you saying their weather goes east or west.
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:48.000
I'm not saying that I have that much knowledge to the actual like movement of a storm in the Northern Hemisphere goes counterclockwise. And so in the southern hemisphere, the hurricane appears to go clockwise. And it's because of like the earth is like on these.
00:44:43.590 --> 00:45:34.380
It's on an axis that then there's also a division between the East and the West timbers hemisphere, but that's not there's not a lot of differences in that. But in the north in the south, like the the Milky Way is up here in the north. We're in the south of the middle. keyway is like really really far away and that's why the stars are brighter. You see what I'm saying? And so things gravity works opposite in my mind and not working like like I think we need to just make plans for a trip and we're gonna go down there to Australia because I've always wanted to go to and I need to see the toilet flush and the opera opposite that is your one thing you want to see. Yeah, she just described the stars and you're like, show me the toilet.
00:45:35.099 --> 00:45:37.769
I mean how many times a day do we watch a toilet flush?
00:45:38.219 --> 00:45:42.179
I don't watch it. Well I do to make sure things go down exactly Yes.
00:45:42.659 --> 00:46:13.050
I watch it every time exactly everyone gets up and looks what's in the toilet are we now on that subject? Yeah, everyone so I want to see what it looks like to go in the opposite direction like that is fascinating to me a cat Yeah, thank you. I found it to be wildly fascinating myself because it all started with a nice fresh summer tomato. And then I was like, Okay, wait, there's somewhere in the world where it's winter right now.
00:46:09.030 --> 00:46:13.050
It's in a different hemisphere.
00:46:13.050 --> 00:46:21.690
And so I just went on this slight deep dive and I too am very fascinated. So we are definitely taking a trip down under Have you been Have you been to Australia cat.
00:46:22.079 --> 00:47:01.110
I have been twice to Australia so I thought yeah, and one other thing that I have to mention and then we can move on to something else moves because I know that you had a lot to talk about this week is that if you were at the very very top of the North Pole and or you're at the very very bottom of the South Pole. If you're at the North Pole when the seasons are such that it is summer. It is light 24 seven, if you're in the South Pole, when it's winter, it is dark 24 seven you don't have daytime and nighttime. Right at the tip of the poles.
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:09.329
This is a lot for me to take in.
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:34.829
Is that why like Iceland there are certain times the year where they have like only sunlight or Alaska or somewhere like four hours a day or something huh yeah, it's exactly why is that where you can see the Aurora kununurra Aurora Borealis? Yeah, yes Borealis. Now what I don't know is about in on the south like in the south. I don't know if it in Antarctica. You can also see would it be the southern lights?
00:47:34.829 --> 00:47:49.769
I don't know. That's a great question. Somebody write in and tell us. Are the Northern Lights a thing in the north and the southern lights the thing in the south or does the or or realice Borealis only happen in the north? We would love to know what do you got most.
00:47:50.219 --> 00:48:04.289
I've got a bunch of stuff that I want to talk about. But first, since we talked about our listeners I we have a bunch of text that I want to go through.
00:47:58.260 --> 00:49:14.219
On our one 800 line. Chris Rhoden said holy crap this portion on being slain in the spirit is just so damn funny. We have insane stories we could tell you about and then he goes on to tell some detail which we need to just interview him so yeah okay so um our dear friend Leslie wrote in and said just on my walk listening explicit coloring book haha just imagine the jaws of cat dropping when Oh cats family. When I hear explicit I think of images and those poor folks thinking you are God. You guys are making a coloring book and a bunch of pea dogs and she dogs. That is brilliant. He says regarding mascots I used to be a ninja turtle Donatello to be exact Homer godfather pizza. I wore the outfit and waved people in from the road literally worked for $10 and a free pizza dot dot dot 1991 Is that real? Leslie? That's amazing. What an amazing story.
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:35.789
Okay, then Jen wrote in and she said, Hey, gang, it's taken me days to get through the last week's podcast but I just need to clarify something that was said. You were talking about Wendy Wilson's harmonizing vocals and what a big part they play in the Wilson Phillips sounds sort of like an Wilson's vocals in heart and that those vocals were understated but needed.
00:49:35.849 --> 00:50:11.760
I feel like I want to take this one over because Jen actually corrected me in person about what I said. Yeah, she corrected me in person. And you know how she's got that countenance about her where she kind of goes almost like oh, yeah, you know what I'm saying? So she was like, well, she I think she's enneagram five. So you have to give her That though and I'm not saying that it's a bad thing I'm just saying like it's it's very clearly I know something that you don't know which is my life experience anyway.
00:50:12.389 --> 00:50:14.340
She's like loves information.
00:50:14.400 --> 00:51:26.250
Yeah, yeah and so she was like I have a comment about something you said on the podcast and you were talking about Wendy Wilson and Wilson Phillips and how she's kind of the magic sauce but it's very understated and then you went on to say that Ann Wilson from heart is kind of that person and she was like you're talking about Nancy? Oh corrected my ask. Oh my god I am that's how it's very well listen, Jen. She knows she loves music. Yeah, she does. We had another text from Jess and Maryland and she said off the beautiful eastern shore of Maryland. And she said hello cat bass and producer Sarah thank you for posing questions and sharing your perspectives on the calendar and God it's fascinating to hear different perspectives, especially as I to I'm in my 40s and my conceptualization Wow, that's a long word of God and time have gone through so many changes as well. I feel more than ever the omnipresence of a field of love that connects us all and it's not dependent on what we choose to believe. I guess I'm in your demographic lol peace of love just from the beautiful eastern shore of Maryland.
00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:36.000
Just thank you so much for reading in That's awesome. And then we had another tax that said hi listening to Satan's army episode.
00:51:41.639 --> 00:52:03.389
I wanted to share a poopy solution we've used in the past check out doggy Dooley on Amazon dig a hole insert and drop your poop in the hole once for you it's ready Now you don't have to fall on top of your bags of hoop as you go down the stairs.
00:52:03.420 --> 00:52:26.429
Yes yes I don't really ever want to do that again. Okay, I wanted to tell the story I remember that I've never shared it on the podcast and I was like oh my gosh, okay, there are certain songs that I can just give you a line and you will take and run Oh yeah. Oh my gosh, my sister is so happy right now.
00:52:26.670 --> 00:52:40.110
I can guarantee you My sister is like bring it on what do we need to have her on and actually play this as a game but I'm just gonna do a couple for you and you got all right okay, yeah.

Okay, here we go. Giant to get away into the night and you put your arms around me and we tumble through the night and then we say I think we're alone now. It doesn't seem to be it.
00:52:57.269 --> 00:54:15.000
Okay, speaking of her Her name is Tiffany and when the Wilson Phillips ladies played the wildhorse celyn here in Nashville several years ago the the time that I told you I've got to go to the soundcheck and I got to help them decide their setlist and, and all that really cool stuff. Tiffany was in line to have a picture with them backstage right behind us. Okay, I'm gonna one up your ass. Don't do it. Okay, I was in. Do you know our our mutual friend Shane? Oh, yeah. Okay, I was with Shane at his 40th birthday party and East Nashville. And upstairs he had rented out the entire upstairs of this bar. And all he wanted to do the entire end Shane is like best friends with like, Kelly Clarkson and Reba McIntyre and like all of the stars Yeah, he's like best friends with the stars. Yeah, yeah. And so I wanted to go just to see who all was gonna show up in there. And so it was super fun. I didn't know a ton of people. But he wanted all night karaoke. That was his birthday thing, which by the way I am down for I might need to do that for my birthday. So maybe we could do it from like two to five in the afternoon.

I'm not quite that good, but Okay, anyway, so she's up there and she doesn't break character and she literally is dancing like Tiffany did. You have to have balls because you don't like think about that she hasn't probably legitimately like toured and forever and I guarantee you that that was like his like, that's what I want for my birthday.

00:56:23.518 --> 00:56:31.619
Okay, I okay, I need to process this. Okay, so let me read a little more. Okay.
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:49.289
Several Austin area funeral home embalmers say it's commonplace to pour human blood corpses down the drain. a procedure that Austin water officials admit they were unaware of was occurring jajaja to death dooby dooby da. It's in the lakes.
00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:54.360
Basically, if you have gone boating, you have swam with corpses. That's what I'm here to share on the cat Mays podcast.
00:56:54.420 --> 00:57:02.940
Okay, so I got I have to unpack this. Can we unpack this this would be the last episode ever.
00:56:58.619 --> 00:57:24.570
And that's okay. So my understanding is that for some reason, and I just got done reading the book called Fun Home and fun home was the name of a funeral home and so I like that the comic book, yes, my adult comic book. And by the way, that sounds like it's a dirty comic book. So you might want to change the adult part.
00:57:20.099 --> 00:57:25.289
How about an adult non dirty comic book?
00:57:25.349 --> 00:57:50.849
Okay, what's an adult non dirty comic book? Okay, there were some dirty parts in it not dirty according to me, but I mean, there were some escape. Not involving the funeral home, thankfully. And so my understanding is that what happens at a funeral home to a body that is going to be buried is that a lot of the body's fluid is removed and it is replaced with embalming fluid.
00:57:47.429 --> 00:57:57.809
And so where does the blood go? Now? We know and Austin lakes if it's not supposed to go down the drain where's it supposed to go?
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:19.829
Well, I think that's the question that nobody asked until now. Wow. Because they say we literally you know, and they do say it's deleted and they spray it and all this stuff, but still we're swimming with blood. So I won't be in the lakes again. No, in Austin, but there goes our summer Lake trip.
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:26.940
Okay, one more thing I wanted to cover. I've never really understood the Met Gala. Have you?
00:58:27.179 --> 00:58:32.130
Um, I don't know what that is.
00:58:27.179 --> 00:58:37.170
Okay. The Metropolitan art gala where all the celebrities dress up in like crazy clothing.
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:59.579
Okay, is that happened here in Nashville or like in New York City? I think it's in LA but I don't know either. We should do somebody do some research because we don't. On this podcast. We just read about the hemispheres of the earth. Yeah, and normally I wouldn't bring this up. I am completely uninterested in celebrities.
00:58:54.300 --> 00:59:31.289
Like I really don't care until somebody brings a social message into some something and I appreciate it. You know, when and so a couple of things came out of the Met Gala that happened a few days before we were recording right now. And so you had Billy Eilish who had this famous designer should know who it is, let's just say Bella gandia even though that's not an actual thing. They wanted to dress her and she said well of you. I will wear your dress if you never sell anything with fur again. Good for her.
00:59:31.349 --> 00:59:32.039
I love that.
00:59:32.070 --> 00:59:46.050
What do you think they did? They probably just told her Nevermind. No, they dressed her and they no longer be selling for I thought that was fantastic. Okay, that's such a good PR campaign.
00:59:41.039 --> 01:00:08.760
I totally agree. Like that is like when you say like we need to capture lightning in a bottle. Like that designer never knew why shouldn't say never because we can't assume. I'm going to assume that design I had no idea that they needed such a good PR campaign and they literally placed in their lap.
01:00:05.699 --> 01:00:08.760
That's amazing.
01:00:09.030 --> 01:00:17.550
Producer Sarah can you tell us when you edit this what the name of that designer was because we need to give them credit. That's great.
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:23.250
Oscar de la Renta was the designer of eyelashes gown for the Met Gala. 2021.
01:00:23.699 --> 01:00:49.679
And then secondly, um, Alexandria, Ortega, orkut or, shit. Alex AOC. You know who I'm talking about. She wore a dress that was white, and then and sort of read graffiti. It's a tax the rich, and it was super cool. But the thing I really want to show you is this and I'm sorry, I don't have it on the computer to pull up. But this is what Kim Kardashian wore.
01:00:50.820 --> 01:00:53.130
It looks like she shipped a trench coat.
01:00:54.539 --> 01:00:57.449
It's her entire heads covered. I don't know if you can see that.
01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:09.239
Oh, oh, so there's some really amazing memes. But anyway, so I wanted to share some comments.
01:01:04.019 --> 01:01:44.489
And, um, and also, I don't know if you heard but Nicki Minaj started sharing an opinion about the vaccine that I thought would be really good to cover. So I thought we would share this audio from the Daily Show. Who He basically shares his opinion and I think it's hilarious, okay. The Met Gala was last night, but not everyone decided to attend. Some people just didn't feel comfortable going because of COVID. Some couldn't attend because of their schedules. And I didn't go because I haven't been welcome ever since I mixed up Oscar de la Renta, and Oscar De La Hoya.
01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:54.329
The punch, my bad. Oh, and it turns out Nicki Minaj wasn't there either, for a reason that has set the internet ablaze.
01:01:54.510 --> 01:02:06.719
The Met Gala was held last night, but one star was noticeably absent and Nicki Minaj the rapper told fans on Twitter that she isn't vaccinated, which was required in order to attend the event.
01:02:03.690 --> 01:02:29.909
She added that she contracted COVID-19 while prepping for the MTV Video Music Awards. But it was her comments about the vaccine that had many people lashing out my cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friend got it and became impotent. his testicles became swollen his friend was weeks away from getting married. Now the girl called off the wedding. So just make sure you're comfortable with your decision. Not bullied.
01:02:30.150 --> 01:02:42.480
That's right people. If you've been on Twitter in the last 24 hours, or if you for some reason have a Google Alert for Trinidadian testicles. You probably saw the story and Oh, baby, is there a lot to digest here?
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:57.449
First of all, I'm going to say this, I'm not sure that this marriage was ever going to work out. Because when you get married, you go into it knowing you're going to face some obstacles someday, I mean, it's right there in the vows.
01:02:54.030 --> 01:03:03.630
But clearly this woman in Trinidad was like I was okay with rich or poor a sickness and health but you never said anything about swollen testicles.
01:03:04.889 --> 01:03:11.010
so swollen testicles are now a new side effect of the vaccine.
01:03:11.429 --> 01:03:24.119
Okay, so here, I don't know how to respond to this because I'd like if I respond as if we are not doing a podcast and we're just having a conversation, which is what we normally do.
01:03:24.389 --> 01:03:51.780
Like this is one person out of millions of people. So to say that the vaccine causes swollen testicles is a bit of a broad statement. Because there was one guy that we know of where the vaccine potentially caused him to have swollen testicles. He might have got hit in the testicles with a baseball bat that same day and just not talked about that.
01:03:51.838 --> 01:03:58.978
Exactly. It's like, but to see a celebrity say be careful guys.
01:03:59.099 --> 01:04:05.338
My cousin has well like I'm sure there are 10 other things that made his testicle swollen.
01:04:05.730 --> 01:04:15.329
Right? Right. Yeah, I feel like that is that is that is not being a good steward of platform in my humble opinion.
01:04:17.550 --> 01:04:24.750
He's a cold hearted snake, look into his eyes and telling lies.
01:04:24.750 --> 01:04:29.250
He's a lover boy play he don't Oh.
01:04:36.869 --> 01:04:39.150
