00:00:25.138 --> 00:00:26.669
What are you guys sipping on today?

00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:35.189
Today? I'm having a ollie pop.

00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:42.268
Strawberry vanilla. Oh, sparkling tonic. Oh, it's non alcoholic, and it's good for your digestive health.

00:00:42.418 --> 00:00:44.308
Oh, I need some.

00:00:44.368 --> 00:00:45.329
It's really good.

00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:54.149
It sounds like we're doing an ad but we're not. I really do like it though. You should buy it.

00:00:48.749 --> 00:00:57.899
Um, let's get started with the cat moose podcast. What are you drinking cat?

00:00:58.139 --> 00:01:02.189
Well, I was wondering if I was gonna get left out of the Me too.

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:06.930
I knew you were oh, by the way.

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:13.500
I saw a quote that reminded me of our conversation. Oh, no. And it was we don't hear what people say. We imagine what they mean.

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:15.989
So true.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:27.359
Wow. So I knew as soon as I started singing, I was like, I saw the look on your face, which said, nobody's gonna ask me what I'm drinking. too. Good.

00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:29.189
Good. Frozen shot a few minutes.

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.760
Did you guys hear any of that?

00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:34.230
Just the end?

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.260
Just the last part.

00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:44.370
Just the mockery, just the mockery. It's like deep down in your soul. You hate me, man.

00:01:44.728 --> 00:02:15.569
Oh my god. I don't hate you. I want to fix you. Not that you need fixed but how I show love is I like to fix people. And they don't The thing is we they don't want fixed and they don't need fixed is the problem. Yeah, it's just, you know, bad behaviors repeating themselves again. That's what kind of podcast we are. Well, and isn't it that what was the quote from my thing last week?

00:02:15.629 --> 00:02:19.919
Basically, like, if you think it's one thing, it's another?

00:02:19.949 --> 00:02:23.219
Yeah. And if you think life is gonna suck, you're right. Yeah.

00:02:23.250 --> 00:02:26.969
Yeah. If you think being an adult is hard. absolute fucking lately.

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.669
Yeah. What'd you make of life?

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.669
It's up to you.

00:02:29.729 --> 00:02:49.469
Yeah, that's what it said. You guys, we had a lot of comments about the space talk from last episode. And we had comments from both sides of the aisle. We did in fact, yes, we did. We did indeed. Cat, what would you like to share about that?

00:02:50.399 --> 00:02:55.859
Thank you for including me so early in the Oh, I'm so needy.

00:02:58.558 --> 00:03:56.998
Okay, so I here's what I did is, I talked to Robin at primary eye care. And as you guys know, I've been in and out of there multiple times a week for the past several weeks, because we're trying to get my prescription right. And ever since I had cataract surgery, it's just been wonky. And they're so gray. They've been working with me so patiently to try to figure out what's up. And so anyway, she sat me down last week when I was going to try on my latest pair of glasses that didn't work. And in she said, Can we have a conversation? And I said, Well, yes, of course we can have a conversation. What's up and she goes, How does mousse not know that the moon does not emit its own light? And I said, I don't know. I said I was baffled by that. And so it led me on this journey. Moose in the past week. I have been polling people who don't apparently listen to the podcast because some people go oh, I remember when you guys talked about that.

00:03:53.128 --> 00:04:03.419
But I've been pulling people in more people were on your side of the aisle than on my side of the aisle. Hmm, of course. Yeah.

00:04:03.449 --> 00:04:21.209
Here's the thing you and Robin need to just calm down because the reason why I realized this the reason why I didn't know that the moon didn't have its own light. It's what we're talking about, in case you missed an episode. I think that I had trauma during the year that that was taught.

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:29.848
Fair enough. I have the saint would know I'm trying to up story. What is that from the habits of conversations?

00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:35.189
I don't know. But I had someone Brightside me today and I wanted to Brightside them back.

00:04:36.269 --> 00:04:44.250
Okay, so you think the year that we learned about the moon doesn't emit its own light was a year during which you had trauma? What was your trauma that year?

00:04:44.519 --> 00:05:09.629
Oh, well, it was like from age three to 44. So who knows? I've forgotten a lot of things. But I really thought about that. Like I started getting like when you text me and you were shaming you and Robin were shaming me with How do you not know that maybe you should study the solar system? Let me tell you something. I almost was an astronomy minor, Robin Robin.

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:44.250
Robin, I love you. But I had I had some feedback from a good a good friend and listener of ours that checked in and let me know that this was the text. What the fuck? The moon has no light mind blown. And I said, Haha, come on. Are you serious? Because I didn't want to get excited too soon. And she said for real. I mean, it makes sense. When I think of it logically, me to me to once I thought about it.

00:05:41.009 --> 00:05:52.829
However, my entire life when I've looked at the moon, it's bright white, and just different parts of the light of the moon are showing. She's lost as I am.

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.709
I didn't read that correctly.

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:59.129
Sorry, Tori. But then I said, Thank God, I'm not the only one.

00:05:55.740 --> 00:06:12.360
And she said, and then she sends me a photo of an astronaut on the moon. I'm sorry, but it looks like there's light for the record. And then she said, I mean, look, it's white to me, which seems very bright to me.

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:31.649
So I think that is where my belief came from. I mean, it makes sense in my brain. Hang on a second, though, Tori. Like, that's like me saying you took a picture of me out at my swimming pool. And the pool deck was bright. And you think that the pool deck emits its own light?

00:06:28.050 --> 00:07:20.009
Like it's because the sun is shining? On the astronaut and on the moon? Well, it could be that it also could be that they brought some lights, they brought some lights. And you know, I mean, if you look at this photo, let me just let me I just need to show y'all something. In this photo share screen, I will share again, I will. I mean, there's some lights coming off of his mask, y'all. I don't want to, as they say beat a dead horse. So I'm gonna move on here. But I just want to say thank you to so many listeners who wrote in also, we had an listener that might pronounce their name, Andrea also wrote in with lots of opinions and thoughts. And I just I appreciate it. I like when we have a hot button. And that was a hot button for people. Great.

00:07:20.370 --> 00:07:29.879
I love that it was a hot button. And I would like to say that I think that the hot buttons are almost exclusively catalyzed by you, miss.

00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:46.439
Oh, I'm trying to I don't think so. I mean, you you have had a lot of things come up that are really wrong and not okay. And I think it's it's pretty even guys.

00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:47.220
Yeah, even Steven, even Steven on that one.

00:07:48.509 --> 00:08:03.839
Just trying to give you a compliment, because I think you're really funny. No, thank you. Well, I'm glad that Andrea and Tori both wrote in and of all the people that took my poll this week. Thank you very much.

00:07:58.170 --> 00:08:12.600
And I am. I'm really glad though that like now part of your healing has begun moves because like, from age three to age 45.

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.899
Like you're starting to gain back.

00:08:12.930 --> 00:08:30.300
I'm not 45 yet just for the record. Well, I mean, okay, I'm sorry, from age three to age 44 and almost 45 in September, you've started to gain some of your experience back and it's not all been erased by trauma by trauma.

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.399
How's that for Brett? Sad and you?

00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:51.269
Thanks. I also wanted to share this news story guys. Let me share this and then a little bit of that. This popped up on my feed this week, guys. Oh my god.

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:57.149
Check this out. Leg lengthening surgery is gaining popularity among men seeking to be taller.

00:08:57.450 --> 00:09:00.090
Is that real? Yes, it's real.

00:09:00.599 --> 00:09:15.028
Oh my gosh, they're lengthening the longest bone of the body around which the sartorius muscle wraps the femur of the leg. We're lengthening the femur that how did you just say the SARM T Mia's?

00:09:15.509 --> 00:10:32.610
I was just throwing a shout out to the three body work people that listen sir teeniest muscle. Okay, check this out. This is a guy getting it done a 26 year old man who had the procedure to increase his height from 5725 10 explains what it was like. So I did a little skim through here because we're skimming podcast and he gets routinely spoken down to because he is shorter which sucks. And so basically they put this little rod they cut your thigh bone in half, sir give us some good sub Oh, yeah, Lindsey is gonna love that just a little. And it says My goal was never to be tall. Alex said, it's to be in a space where no one comments on my height. That's sad. I don't like that. I'm sorry, get picked on Alex. And it says leg lengthening is an intense and expensive process, but one that has become more popular and accepted in the last five years.

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:39.179
Wow, this is from a surgeon at the height lengthening Institute in Burbank. It's a whole institute.

00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:41.190
Wow. Amazing.

00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:50.669
It says I have even 60 and 65 year old guys that have come to me to undergo the procedure because it just doesn't stop.

00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:55.620
The short jokes keep going on and they feel inferior. Wow.

00:10:55.830 --> 00:11:00.210
It's a $75,000 for our operation.

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:14.820
Well in here's what I want to know is is it says in this article that in total, the estimated whole procedure and process cost over $100,000. And here's what I want to know, here's our poll for the week.

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:24.870
It's not where does the moon's light come from? It is what would you do to alter your health and or your body if you were given $100,000 to do so?

00:11:25.230 --> 00:11:35.220
Oh, wow. Like you had to use it for that? Yes. Yeah. Okay, I think we should answer. Yeah, I think the three of us should answer I think we should answer most Do you know what you would do?

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:55.830
I would just have like major, like, I don't understand how they could do liposuction, and like areas, but why can't they just slice me top to bottom, pull out all the fat and give me a restart and like sew it back together and shrink it like shrink wrap like that together?

00:11:52.830 --> 00:11:55.830
Yeah.

00:11:55.860 --> 00:12:09.059
I mean, maybe they could and I for some reason, I think slicing you in half because it would involve like the spinal cord and the nerves and all of that. Oh, yeah. There's, like, I think it would be a little more expensive to be sure all that didn't get messed up.

00:12:09.389 --> 00:12:14.250
And painful. Well, I would go as far as I could go.

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:21.149
So if you know, I would want it to be balanced. So like if I could get a couple arms in there, or a couple legs like that's what I would do.

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.450
I like that. I like that. Do you know Sarah?

00:12:24.690 --> 00:12:32.789
I would do probably permanent hair removal and all of the Oh parts I would like them to be removed.

00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:37.620
Amazing. That's what do you want to detail those for us?

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.220
Just you know, like the chin hairs starting to come in now.

00:12:41.850 --> 00:12:42.450
Yeah.

00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:44.940
Not by the hair shop. my chinny chin chin.

00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:50.009
And I still shaved my legs.

00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:51.000
Guys. That's a lot of hair. It's a lot of leg there.

00:12:51.450 --> 00:12:53.909
It is a lot of hair. It's a lot of work.

00:12:55.169 --> 00:12:59.460
Yeah, my armpits for example.

00:12:55.169 --> 00:13:06.809
Yeah, get rid of it. Some people prefer to keep it. I prefer not to. And I also prefer not to shave it. So if someone could take care of that for me. Yeah.

00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:09.450
With $100,000. I'd spent it on that probably.

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:10.710
Yeah, that's amazing.

00:13:10.889 --> 00:13:14.250
Maybe correct my vision. That'd be fun.

00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:15.840
What's wrong with your vision?

00:13:16.769 --> 00:13:24.090
Well, it's not that bad, actually. But it seems like that could be something you don't want to waste the money. So you might as well get in there.

00:13:24.509 --> 00:13:25.769
Is it only for health care?

00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.950
Yes. Health care and or appearance?

00:13:30.210 --> 00:13:34.289
Oh, okay. Maybe my teeth? I would get straighter, whiter teeth.

00:13:34.830 --> 00:13:38.129
I want that to cat. What about you?

00:13:38.490 --> 00:14:32.220
I would do something. If there was a procedure that cost under$100,000. which there is not? If there was something that could cure me of type one diabetes, I would certainly do that. Yeah. I think that if that were not an option, I think that I would do something along the lines of on my legs. I have several scars, just from being klutzy and like falling and, you know, riding my bike and falling and stuff like that. Like I would love to have my legs kind of restored cosmetically to like their original less blemished self because I think that my legs are kind of like the only part of my body that I'm like, truly proud of. I'm like, I've got good legs like yeah, you do have good legs. Yeah, you have great legs.

00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:41.279
Yeah. And so, so I hate that whenever people see him, they get me like on a happened and I'm like, I just like fell like, you know, but what about the stories that come out of that? I mean, there.

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:51.840
Yeah, there's some good Oh, the stories. Yeah, I love an opportunity for a story. So I don't want you to fix those. I don't want you to fix them. Okay, okay.

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.779
I'd like to add to my expenses.

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.779
Okay. May I? Yes.

00:14:58.139 --> 00:15:05.429
Tattoos. Oh, Yeah, that's mental health. Yeah, you would get them or you would remove them.

00:15:05.789 --> 00:15:10.860
I would get more. They're expensive man. Count, when are you going to get a tattoo?

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.659
I was thinking about that the other day.

00:15:13.289 --> 00:15:26.730
I don't know. I mean, I keep like in my studies of Dallas philosophy and acupressure and stuff like that I keep stumbling upon things that I find really beautiful and really meaningful.

00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:37.860
And, you know, one of the books that I have that's by Lonnie Jarrett, it might as well be a book of poetry about each of the acupressure points on the body.

00:15:33.509 --> 00:16:18.539
And as I learned things about those I'm finding, like Chinese symbols that mean certain phrases or certain things, and I keep feeling like, I keep stumbling upon these really beautiful ones. But I feel like there's going to be one, at some point in time, that's going to be like the Oh, and it's gonna be like, that's the one like, that's the symbol that I want to have forever and ever on my body. And the last time I felt that way, was when I learned about beer on snowman. And I was convinced like, I'm gonna get a snowman tattoo, but I just couldn't figure out a way to do that. That would be quote, unquote, cool. I just, I just couldn't figure it out. So instead, I wear a bracelet that has it engraved on the inside.

00:16:18.570 --> 00:16:35.970
Well, that's good. I think I know what your tattoo needs to be. And I'm totally being serious. And I will get on with you if you want to. Sarah will tell we can be like a friendship tattoo. Sure. I think it needs to be the Yin Yang. Seriously, I was just gonna say it.

00:16:38.669 --> 00:16:43.769
I mean, it is the whole everything is accepted. Right?

00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:51.600
Like there's a season there's the flow, there's the whole thing. I mean, I totally could see you just having a yin yang.

00:16:51.899 --> 00:17:09.000
And it can be done in so many ways to like, it doesn't have to be just that simple. And like look up yin yang tattoos because I bet there are some really creative ones. Even if you were able to put those Chinese symbols that you're talking about within like all the black one, and then all the white one or something.

00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:16.079
But when you start getting that small, it starts spreading as you get older. You want to see what mine looks like from 30 years ago.

00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:19.259
Absolutely show us.

00:17:19.289 --> 00:17:26.789
No, it was a tramp stamp. I will not. Okay, wait, though. Oh, there's a cop coming down the road.

00:17:27.358 --> 00:17:50.640
Are ya? Are they stopping at your house? Oh, good. He kept going. Okay, but wait on the Yin Yang. Do you like that idea? Because you went Hmm. Now Sarah did say there's creative ways you can do it. Like you could totally put Winnie the Pooh holding it. Tick Tigger Damn, no, no, no, no. No, no.

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:55.289
Yes. Like I could put a snowman holding the young young. I mean, it could be a tiger.

00:17:56.849 --> 00:18:00.509
Yeah, what about Tiger holding out the young?

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:45.390
Yeah, that'd be really cool. Um, the reason that I responded the way I did is because there's something that really aggravates me about how the Yin Yang symbol is depicted sometimes. And it's that the the white part is often outlined in black, in the whole idea of the Yin Yang is that they are basically like opposites like interacting with one another, right? It's like the dynamic interplay of opposites. And so they would need to be equal. And so the fact that the black one is not outlined in white, but the white one is outlined in black that kind of breaks my brain. And so I don't know how I could represent that properly. Without like the outline on the white.

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:59.250
You could totally get it without. Look. Lots of people don't like to tattoo white, but it's really in right now. That's what the kids say. The baddies are doing why the baddies are doing. Why because they're popping off with their tattoos.

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:11.279
You guys, I feel like I need to be a reporter and go down the street because there are cops flying down this neighborhood. Would you like to take the cat moose podcast on the road right now?

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:27.240
And I might have two reporting on scene we got Okay, QA What do you have? Yeah, well, I have a couple of things.

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:49.109
One, I just wanted to say that I have been having really, really, really, really, really bad dreams, like really bad dreams, and they're always about something physically being wrong with me and me being incapacitated, but still being aware of everything that's going on. This is a recurring dream for me. And it's made me go like, Wait, can you slow down? You're incapacitated, but what?

00:19:49.559 --> 00:20:02.190
But I still know what's going on. Like in my mind, it's like I'm not able to move or respond or communicate, but I know what's going on and I just can't communicate with that. outside world and it's very scary.

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.950
You know, that's called Sleep paralysis.

00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:05.849
Really?

00:20:06.150 --> 00:20:56.309
No, it's a whole thing really like that. That is really called Sleep paralysis. Oh, but keep going, I want to hear more. Well, it's just really scary. And I have to like, wake up and like, do all this horror breathing and like, you know, you can move your fingers, you can move your toes, you can move your door so and it's like, okay, you're alive, you're alive and in that's fine, but it's like I really have been plagued by really bad dreams lately. And I just wanted to put it out there that if you are a praying person, or if you are you a sending vibes person, or if you are a send your positive good dream energy my way like I am open for business like I need some relief from these bad dreams. So I just wanted to put a personal shout out for myself out there, man. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, me too.

00:20:56.339 --> 00:21:27.119
There's nothing worse than bad dreams. Well, since we are a medical podcast, I'll tell you about sleep paralysis, I have it here pulled up from the Cleveland clinic.org. It is when you're falling asleep or waking up, your brain sends signals that relaxes muscles in your arms and legs. The result is called muscle atonia. It helps you remain still during rapid eye movement with sleep paralysis, you regain awareness, but you can't move. Is that what's happening during sleep?

00:21:27.630 --> 00:21:36.660
You're aware of your surroundings? I mean, that's what my dream is like. I don't know if that's happening in real life. Like but it is what I'm dreaming. Yeah.

00:21:36.750 --> 00:21:39.900
Well, that's the thing though.

00:21:36.750 --> 00:21:49.710
Everything I've read about sleep paralysis, you think you're dreaming? But that's actually what I mean. That scary thing isn't happening. But you're actually awake. You just can't move.

00:21:49.950 --> 00:21:52.140
Well, maybe that's what's going on.

00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:56.400
We'll read the rest of that.

00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:56.789
What does sleep paralysis feel like?

00:21:57.269 --> 00:22:20.339
During a sleep paralysis episode, you are aware of your surroundings but cannot move or speak. But you can still move your eyes and breathe. That's scary. Many people hear or see things that aren't their hallucinations, making episodes even more frightening. I mean, this sounds exactly like what I'm struggling with, like big time. Wow, who needs a doctor when we've got Dr. Moose over here?

00:22:21.869 --> 00:22:24.839
That's right. Hey, what's my copay?

00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:32.759
Obstructive sleep apnea. That's what's going on cat.

00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:36.390
I've been tested for sleep apnea, and I don't have it.

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:37.799
Maybe you do now.

00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.750
I've slept in the room with you and you have sleep apnea if I haven't you have it.

00:22:43.230 --> 00:22:50.279
Okay, okay, sounds good. So basically I need a CPAP thanks for all the prayers and thoughts about my dreams everybody.

00:22:51.839 --> 00:23:07.200
I just saw on Instagram I was fed this ad. This is how you know you're getting old when all the ads are related to like health issues and prescriptions and you're like what the hell I just went for a walk pitches.

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:16.950
But I was given driven this at driven I was fed. That's weird too. I saw an ad. That was a CPAP machine for the first time you just stick it up your nose.

00:23:16.950 --> 00:23:17.700
Have you seen that?

00:23:18.329 --> 00:23:27.869
I have seen the same ad Yeah, I didn't see that coming.

00:23:29.309 --> 00:23:32.130
Man. All of our listeners are like oh my god.

00:23:34.769 --> 00:23:53.069
By the way, I think it was Andrea. Andrea wrote in and said that she has bought in purchase a lot of things that we've talked about on the podcast no way which at first I was like I always such as influencers and I was like, we've probably given her some doozies.

00:23:54.089 --> 00:24:00.869
I mean, but think about it like the what was the thing that you guys bought me the thing that girls pee through?

00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:02.609
Oh, a P digital.

00:24:02.638 --> 00:24:03.778
Oh, the shakiness.

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:57.930
Oh Shiness What did you say? I said a little No, I mean, like who doesn't need a good machinist? So I mean Andrea if you've got one of those party on man, seriously Hi guys. We we need I need to talk this needs to go on our list for the retreat. Nevermind keep going the shields are we gonna practice okay. Oh, we need to start like hyperlinking stuff to like Amazon so that we get a kickback of this. Of course people are actually buying it then put it on the list. Sarah? Yeah, it's called making notes in the podcast that would be much oh okay, so So one other thing that I've not been fed an ad for, but I had this conversation with my sister this weekend. And I was laying in bed and we all went to bed like unusually early.

00:24:57.930 --> 00:25:14.880
Normally when we go visit my mom we stay up to like One or two in the morning and play cards and stuff like that. But we were all just kind of wiped. And so we went to bed early, and I was laying there. And after about an hour, I said, I said my sister's name and I said, are you awake?

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:30.660
And she goes, Oh, and I said, because we're in the same room, different beds. And she said, Uh huh. And she said, What? And I said, Do you remember the name of the drink that we used to drink in college that you would put jolly ranchers in? Oh, yeah.

00:25:26.789 --> 00:25:44.970
Zima is where they Zima was Zima? Yes, it was Zima. And so I just couldn't remember the name of it. But I was like, What happened to that drink? Because like, I've been kind of searching for like, what is going to be my summer drink? And I just haven't figured it out yet.

00:25:45.420 --> 00:26:00.089
You always love to have like a seasonal beverage? I know you do. And I just I still haven't. I haven't figured out what it is yet. And so I thought, Where are zimas? And I could just get a bunch of Jolly Ranchers and just sip on zimas.

00:26:00.089 --> 00:26:12.869
And yeah, that'd be cool. And so my sister like starts telling me the history of Zima. And do you guys know that Zima was introduced by corps in 1993?

00:26:08.190 --> 00:26:19.710
Like, that's the year that I graduated high school. And this brings back so many college memories, right?

00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:32.279
Yeah, exactly. And then my sister and I came up with this like, great promo where it's like, they bring back Zima. And they partner with the people who make Jolly Ranchers. And like, we came up with a whole marketing scheme. So brilliant.

00:26:32.309 --> 00:26:44.430
So we learned though, that they were introduced in 1993. And that they ceased production in 2008, because wine coolers became more popular, I guess.

00:26:39.990 --> 00:26:55.470
And, and they did try to do a release in the summer of 2017, in the summer of 2018. And it just flopped. And I just think that they weren't hitting our demographic when we were ready.

00:26:55.500 --> 00:27:29.339
I think you're right, because that is what I ordered in college. Like, I'm not Yes, I guess. I was living in Paris, Tennessee, if anyone has any clue where that is, it's like a lake town and sort of western Tennessee. And I was living there with my friend and we went to a bar just to have a drink because we were college students. And so I no joke. I ordered a Zima ash did she and then they threw a bowl of Jolly Ranchers in between us. That's what you did. And you picked your labor and dropped it in.

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.940
Yeah, yeah, I've never done it.

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:35.579
Oh, we're gonna buy and we'll figure it out. They've got to still sell it. Right.

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.690
I think they do.

00:27:36.720 --> 00:28:01.049
Do they still sell it? No, that's what I'm trying to educate you on is that they stopped making it in 2008. They re released it in 17 and 18. But it stayed in production in Japan until 2021. So Zima you can't conceive it anywhere. And I'm so I just am like, in in granted, I probably wouldn't use it as my summer drink anyway, because it was just way too many calories.

00:28:01.049 --> 00:28:07.859
But if they did, like a sugar free version of Zima count me in, guys, I just found some safe way.

00:28:08.638 --> 00:28:10.259
Where's there a safe way?

00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:20.640
Yeah, I see a safe way to it's the only place to get by in a safe way. I've got safe ways out west, don't they? Yeah, they do.

00:28:21.509 --> 00:28:30.569
I feel like we need the zebras for our podcast. Retreat. So we should tell the listeners about our podcast retreat. You guys.

00:28:30.630 --> 00:28:31.079
Yeah.

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.089
Yeah, it's coming up on Saturday.

00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:54.509
Yes, on Saturday, we are going to sit around a pool. If it's not raining, and plan the next year of what's possible with catanese podcast. Yeah, that's it. That's all we're gonna tell you.

00:28:59.549 --> 00:29:27.630
So any requests, any requests, now's the time to send them in that email us and tell us things that you love. Email us and tell us things that you loathe like, tell us what you would like to hear more of tell us what you think about, like anything, any part of the podcast, like we would love to hear from you. And we would love to consider your suggestions, and also rejects the ones that do not flow with our inner flows of way.

00:29:28.169 --> 00:29:57.088
I agree. I do too. Speaking of, you know, I was watching a very popular person. And in the Instagram world, who usually does, like a weekly live session, I guess that's the cool thing to do is like, Hey, I'm gonna do this little talk and you guys are gonna listen. And then now if you want to ask some questions at the end, great. We should do that. We should totally do that. If you guys want us to do that. Let us know.

00:29:58.169 --> 00:31:00.509
But it was this person that you were Think doesn't take a lot of breaks, they're there. They're kind of a hard ass and really good at what they do. And they posted something this week that just basically said, until the spirit returns, I'm not going to be doing those. And their point was maybe not this week, maybe not next week, but when I feel like I have something to really share, then we will do it. And I just thought that was really nice to see someone. Because I feel like sometimes, especially these influencers, and they're great at what they do, but you can tell when things are just content to feed the feed the what's it called the algorithm, the algorithm Yeah. Or if that was really like a moment in time that they really wanted to share something. And anyway, shout out to anyone who is not just falling in line with the algorithm, and that you're paying attention to the Whoo wee wing wall.

00:31:02.009 --> 00:31:32.819
Bing Bang, like, while I wasn't 100%, celebrate and agree with that, and in trying to like, orchestrate my life in such a way that I'm in the flow more, I also get kind of frustrated by, it seems to me, I'm totally stereotyping here. But it seems to me like it's the millennials like kind of the 30 Somethings, it seems to me like they set boundaries. And they like only do what like feels good in their body, when it's good for them.

00:31:32.819 --> 00:32:11.369
And it's like, it's almost like an excuse to not have a good work ethic. And so I feel like like, wow, like being in the flow, like effortless action and stuff like that is really healthy and really important. I get kind of aggravated when I hear some people kind of using some of that speak to, to justify their actions. And it's like, you're just not getting your job done. Like you're just not doing what you're supposed to do. So, yeah, I kind of want to celebrate that thing. And I also want to go like, please don't abuse it, because it makes the rest of us who are trying to actually get healthy, like really, really look bad.

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:12.480
Right? Yeah.

00:32:12.569 --> 00:33:01.859
And honestly, I think that millennials got a hard time for a long time, about being that way. And I don't want to make that generalization. But I will say this, there is a very specific generational thing that happens between different generations, like we view each other in a specific way. And in my HR class, like a few months ago, we were I think I talked about this before on the podcast, but we talked about different generations. And Gen X, which is what we are, I believe that we are the most pragmatic generation. And so also we have to view that we're the people that are like, you pull up your bootstraps, and you just keep going. I mean, like, that's the generation. It's so easy, just a box in generations.

00:33:01.859 --> 00:33:07.559
But that was that was created based on how we grew up, right.

00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:30.150
And there's a million reasons for why each generation is that way. But it's, it's interesting to me, because it not only listed the different generations, but it talks about how we view one another, which was really, really a shame, because Gen X, we do not let Millennials breathe sideways.

00:33:30.150 --> 00:33:50.789
We're like you mother. Like we're really hard on Millennials apparently. And, and I think that's because we are so opposite, but a sort of make sense to have like, you have one generation that is like we're gonna stay steadfast. And we're gonna, we're gonna save for our retirement and all this different stuff. By the way, I totally don't fall into that.

00:33:51.750 --> 00:34:17.039
Last part. I like to experience things now. But But yeah, when you have a whole generation that comes along right after you and you're like, What the hell like, I need you to show up like I've shown up. Yeah. And it's like, maybe somewhere in the middle is this idea of like, oh, we can meet right there. And I don't have to be so rigid, because I feel so rigid sometimes when people don't bring their work ethic, like you're talking about.

00:34:17.579 --> 00:35:18.929
Yeah, I do, too. And I think like I certainly and that's why I preface what I said by going I know I'm stereotyping here. What I didn't say is and I'm sorry, because I do know a lot of I know a lot of millennials that have got great work ethic and I'm really proud of their mental health and their boundaries and you know, their willingness to create space for you know, fun and play in life and not just work hard all the time. So I really, I concur and I also get really frustrated when people use whether it's spiritual conversations or language or you know, kind of health and balance language like things like holding space for and taking time off and balance and all of that kind of stuff. Like when they use it, it as an excuse, like, that just flies all over me. And that's probably a part of me, me being a Gen X or, huh, yeah, I have similar thoughts.

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:37.650
It's and, and yet, I'm also coming to this place in my life where I'm just like I am. So I just got off the phone with someone today actually, that I work with. And she said to me, I'm so not in the space where I want to prove myself anymore.

00:35:33.300 --> 00:35:41.460
And it just, I understood exactly what she meant. And I was like, oh my god, me either.

00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:47.909
And she's like, I just, I don't need to do that anymore. I spent so much of my years doing that.

00:35:45.179 --> 00:36:11.250
And I don't want to do that anymore. And I recognize that to where I'm like, I'm starting to pull back a little where I'm like, It's okay, if I'm not seeing at every event. And it's okay. And I think we all are kind of coming to terms with that. But I'm with you. Don't make it an excuse. However, you're not doing your job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.

00:36:06.840 --> 00:37:31.860
mousse, what else you got this week? Well, I did we never share what we're sharing with each other. But I did ask you guys to prepare, I have been thinking a lot about simplicity and, and being happy with less. I'll say this, I'm trying to not buy as many things ago, you know, be like so drawn to like, the immediate, high of like, purchasing something when I talk about it. And so, um, as I was doing that, I did this little Google, as you guys know, I like to do and it started talking about, hey, what are the, you know, 10 things that you really need in life? And I was like, okay, that that's gonna take a while. But I was like, What are the five things that we would each bring on a deserted island, so I asked the two of you to come up with that I would encourage our listeners come up with this as well. And here are the stipulations. You already have food, water and medication are provided. It's a full service deserted island, so you can take the food and water off. You also have shelter. So these are really just five things that you can't live without, that you will don't want to live without. Okay, okay. It's not that you can't you just choose not to.

00:37:32.010 --> 00:37:36.360
Okay. Are we doing them all like here? Are all of my five things?

00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:50.489
Are we just going around? What's everyone's first let's do a roundabout let's do an in the round like our like our clients do an end the round of our songwriting. Okay, cat, since your name is the beginning of this podcast, we're starting with you. Great.

00:37:50.639 --> 00:38:56.309
Oh, fun. Well, I would want some sort of substance or way to party, or check out or, like have a good time. Like, and I know and I mean, like that from like, it's thinking of like, how the ancients would use like, let's just say, like marijuana or something like that, like they would smoke a peace pipe, and they would have a ceremony like, I don't want to get stoned every day. Like I don't want to get drunk every day. I'm not looking for that. But it's like, I would want to have some sort of something that at special moments or moments of going like, you know what, I just kind of want to take a little bit of a break from reality. Yeah, that's something that I would want to have. Okay, item one for cat is is a happy substance that takes her to new places. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Number one for moose. Is cannabis. Your turn Sarah? Is the difference between cat nine trying to be politically correct. Go ahead.

00:38:57.780 --> 00:38:59.280
My first one is weed.

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:09.750
Okay, item number two cat.

00:39:09.929 --> 00:40:14.760
Okay, well, I first my first item because I did like stream of consciousness. And then I thought about it some more, because I of course, debated everyone with myself. And so the second thing I came up with was a portable Wi Fi. Oh, I love that. But then I thought this is what is wrong with society. Like this is what's absolutely like killing us is like, the everything everywhere all the time, like mentality. And it's like, I don't want to sit on a desert island and look at Instagram. I don't do that on in my house. So why do I want to do that on a desert island? And then I was like, well, but I need to communicate. But I'm like, well, all of your needs are met. So I had this whole internal, you know, argument about it. And then what I came up with is what I would want on a deserted island is I would want a way to easily document my experience. Oh cool. Like I would want a way to communicate whether that's like paper and pen or like, you know, the internet or whatever it is where I could I could somehow effectively communicate my experience that would be important to me. I love that.

00:40:14.969 --> 00:40:34.349
I love that you're going first because we basically have the same thing so far and you've explained why. So now I just want to say the word. Mine is an iPad that's charged by solar but cannot receive phone calls.

00:40:26.429 --> 00:40:51.329
Yeah, that's amazing. Sir, what is your item number two, a solar powered heating pad Sara was for because I love I use it every day. My heating pad and it's part of my day.

00:40:51.659 --> 00:41:01.019
It's so you. I love that we both thought of solar powered that's incredible. All right, item number three cat.

00:41:02.369 --> 00:41:08.010
This is a complex one for me because I listed three items in one and I hope that illegal.

00:41:08.550 --> 00:41:10.530
We don't have rules clearly.

00:41:10.829 --> 00:41:18.269
I wrote down moose Sara and my dog Belle. Oh, that is so sweet.

00:41:18.420 --> 00:41:19.769
I want you guys with me.

00:41:19.949 --> 00:41:31.559
Well, on the same week we're on the same wavelength. I have someone to cuddle it's a cuddle puddle.

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:40.889
Puddle. Sara item number three for you. Campfire supplies. Oh yeah. Oh, you love a campfire.

00:41:41.068 --> 00:42:06.719
I love a campfire I do to item number four cat is many pair is I need of my favorite Eddie Bauer summer shorts. They're great. Like they fit me perfectly. Like they dry really quickly. Like it's hard to get them dirty, but it's easy to get them clean. Like I would just want to know that I'm comfortable in my clothing while I'm there. I love that.

00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:52.199
I sort of assumed that I was able to bring my cotton boxers and my tank tops which will be my uniform on that island. So my fourth one will be this incense that puts me in an immediate good mood you guys as my friends should just carry it along with you in case I'm on a rage anywhere. Yeah, it's it's the aroma brand. Everyone should buy this. It's they sell it at Whole Foods. But you can get it online to my room. And it's the amber smell of the incense. I'm not kidding. I could be raging and somebody lights that and I am like Buddha on the ground in a puddle. A cuddle puddle. In fact, I'm getting some for my house for next time you come over, please.

00:42:52.500 --> 00:42:54.239
Please do amazing. Awesome Sara.

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:55.769
Number four for you please.

00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:57.300
My favorite wine.

00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:12.750
Nice. Yeah. Cats gonna drink some of that it's in an endless supply. endless supply. Yeah, all of this is endless supply. Yeah. Good.

00:43:07.769 --> 00:43:12.750
Good. Good. Cat. Number five.

00:43:12.929 --> 00:44:00.809
Number five is Chinese medicine and acupressure theory reading materials. Oh, yeah, you'd have a heyday. I mean, it's like I could just become a guru. All I spent my time doing like I would absolutely love that. And I met this lady when I was in New Lapa, last summer, who lives in this house on the side of a hill that like have barely has a lead doesn't have electricity or running water or whatever. But like, literally, she is like a body worker. And she has come up with her own, like acupressure charts and her own like kind of ways that she has synthesized that material. And it's on this big like tapestry that's in her outdoor office in the jungle.

00:43:57.420 --> 00:44:12.989
And it's like I was like so cool. Like I would totally, I would totally love the opportunity to do that. Yeah, that's awesome. You would love that. My fifth is my, my ebike.

00:44:13.139 --> 00:44:21.929
Really, I want to ride my bike all around the island all the time and create little paths.

00:44:17.009 --> 00:44:36.329
And it just there's something about it that I feel like my e vi gets me because I am so hyper vigilant about life. Like I'm constantly going well if that happens, I have a plan if I you know, am I ebike is is my plan.

00:44:36.418 --> 00:44:46.168
If I get tired, you just use the electric button and it helps you go. And so I feel like my ebike would give me lots of freedom on our island.

00:44:46.829 --> 00:44:48.539
You need a solar panel.

00:44:49.409 --> 00:45:03.659
Yeah, you're right. I need a solar panel. Well, we can just say that all these things are solar powered. We need an electrician to be deserted when we need electricity. Oh, yes, we do. We don't need an electrician. That would be weird.

00:45:04.110 --> 00:45:10.079
Yeah, I don't think so. Well, maybe there's if there's an electrician listening, you can come with us.

00:45:10.110 --> 00:45:38.909
Okay, that's true. My last one is fresh bread cuz I love fresh bread guys. Yeah. There's nothing better. Yeah, I'm surprised it wasn't fresh sourdough bread because you're willing very particular about your site. If it's fresh, it's good. Did you know that west coasters are like that cat with their sourdough? Like they're very snobby about their brand.

00:45:38.938 --> 00:45:54.389
Yeah, I do know that because I've got extended family that lives on the in the bay area on the west coast and the birth plan. Yeah, I mean, they they very much are in one of the things that I've noticed in this conversation. Moose is that if we were on this island together, Sarah would be our leader.

00:45:54.898 --> 00:46:09.059
Why? Oh, yeah, for sure. She'd be the leader because you you thought of solar panels and you thought of wine. You thought about bread? I mean, it's like you thought of it's a really essential thing. So like we would all just be indebted to you all the time.

00:46:09.539 --> 00:46:16.829
Well, we would be a commune we would everyone has to pull their weight or they gotta get off the island. That's right.

00:46:16.829 --> 00:46:30.750
But people don't know is that Mar little crew of people in real life which this is sort of real life to it is we actually call the commune Yes. We love being around each other that much. Yeah, that is our grip.

00:46:27.539 --> 00:46:34.230
Yeah. The commune. Our commune is going out to dinner tonight.

00:46:30.750 --> 00:46:35.099
Yeah, at a very fancy restaurant.

We like to do a fancy dinner every now and again. As you guys know, and it's been since we went to New York together right?

00:46:44.009 --> 00:46:49.498
Oh, we we have something to celebrate but I can't remember what it is. Oh, I became a coach. We never celebrated that.

00:46:49.528 --> 00:47:13.679

I finished my statistics class you guys and I have an A I just want the world to know crazy that's I'm someone who is an undiagnosed add possibly dyslexic person.

00:47:14.429 --> 00:47:15.898
It doesn't surprise me at all.

00:47:15.958 --> 00:47:18.298
And it's not crazy talk.

00:47:18.329 --> 00:47:21.358

00:47:21.389 --> 00:47:28.679

00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:17.789
