And I'm Moose.
00:00:07.373 --> 00:00:12.791

00:00:12.791 --> 00:00:17.422
Oh, we're recording.
00:00:17.422 --> 00:00:18.884

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:36.780
Hi Kat, hi Sarah.
00:00:39.710 --> 00:00:42.000
So welcome everyone to the Cat and Moose podcast.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.491
If this is your first time, this is the kind of chaos that ensues Yep, and we welcome you.
00:00:47.491 --> 00:00:50.304
It sounds like we're all on a struggle bus this week.
00:00:50.304 --> 00:00:52.670
Is that fair, Accurate?
00:00:52.850 --> 00:01:10.486
I mean accurate, and I think that over the past, like four to eight weeks of the podcast, the last four to eight weeks of the podcast, I think we have started by saying some version of so we're all struggle busing right now.
00:01:10.486 --> 00:01:27.111
Hey, if there was a category on the podcast apps that said struggle bus, I would list us under there, yeah, yeah, me too, me too, and I think that is going so well is because we start out every week by saying how hard life is.
00:01:27.721 --> 00:01:29.540
Yes, I do because we're honest.
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:31.191
I think that's why we're so relatable.
00:01:31.191 --> 00:01:35.188
Yeah, by the way, we got a compliment last week.
00:01:35.188 --> 00:01:45.049
Somebody was talking about how they listened to tons of podcasts and they were like, hands down, your guys's audio is better, your production is better.
00:01:45.049 --> 00:01:55.131
I don't, they couldn't believe that some of these major podcasts who are with networks and things like that, you know, have tons of editing issues and stuff.
00:01:55.131 --> 00:01:57.486
So we got a little kudos there, yeah.
00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:59.364
I really, I really like that.
00:01:59.364 --> 00:02:07.298
Like every week when I go back and listen to the podcast, I am consistently so impressed with the production.
00:02:07.298 --> 00:02:25.913
Hey, thanks guys Like I feel like we sound as good as we can sound, and I feel like the additions that you add to what we contribute, sarah, like, are just so brilliant, and I just am really, really impressed with you, sarah, as a producer and as a human.
00:02:25.913 --> 00:02:30.532
And so I just want to say that for our whole entire listening audience, that you are.
00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:32.090
Let's give us a cheer guys.
00:02:33.399 --> 00:02:33.580
Thank you.
00:02:35.562 --> 00:02:39.209
Hey, if you love the podcast, tell your friends we need.
00:02:39.209 --> 00:02:44.764
We need our friends to tell our friends we need our friends.
00:02:44.844 --> 00:02:49.145
To have some friends and to have a friend, you have to be a friend.
00:02:49.145 --> 00:02:50.812
Amen, amen.
00:02:50.812 --> 00:02:54.639
I am free of responsibility.
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.635
I am not in charge.
00:02:58.901 --> 00:03:00.549
I am not in charge.
00:03:00.549 --> 00:03:02.592
I am not in charge.
00:03:02.592 --> 00:03:05.269
I am not in charge.
00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:12.193
Moose, the way that the corners of your mouth turn up when you sing that song, it is like.
00:03:12.193 --> 00:03:18.412
It is like one of the indicators of absolute and pure joy in your soul.
00:03:18.412 --> 00:03:24.931
I have learned, and it's like these little, these little dimples happen right here and this little like smile happens.
00:03:24.931 --> 00:03:26.032
It's so adorable.
00:03:26.741 --> 00:03:28.361
Well, thank you, I do.
00:03:28.361 --> 00:03:30.883
I am grateful.
00:03:30.883 --> 00:03:33.287
Today I had a weird thing happen.
00:03:33.287 --> 00:03:36.383
I'll talk about later, but before we get started.
00:03:36.383 --> 00:03:40.371
Before we get started, it's time for prayer, just kidding.
00:03:40.371 --> 00:03:57.544
Okay, I would like to choose three cards for each of you out of this card deck that Sarah Bamford Sidleman happens to be the sister of Maria Bamford, by the way, the comedian, how good, can you let it get?
00:03:57.544 --> 00:04:00.787
All right, kat, tell me when to stop, okay.
00:04:04.503 --> 00:04:05.086
That one.
00:04:05.467 --> 00:04:05.768
Okay.
00:04:06.710 --> 00:04:07.070
Okay.
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:08.223
Oh, this is good.
00:04:08.223 --> 00:04:09.568
Okay, which one?
00:04:09.568 --> 00:04:11.393
Now this one.
00:04:11.875 --> 00:04:16.944
Okay, okay, sarah, thank you for knowing how stupid I'm being right now.
00:04:16.944 --> 00:04:18.065
Okay, uh-huh.
00:04:18.305 --> 00:04:20.990
Oh yeah, this one, nope, okay, she, that wasn't the one.
00:04:20.990 --> 00:04:23.452
Tell me when to stop.
00:04:24.213 --> 00:04:24.595
That one.
00:04:25.857 --> 00:04:26.757
It even popped out.
00:04:26.798 --> 00:04:30.139
Okay, here are your cards, kat.
00:04:31.785 --> 00:04:39.692
It popped on out Okay, your first card that you chose was it was a buffalo or a bison, whichever you prefer.
00:04:39.692 --> 00:04:41.088
And it says relax.
00:04:41.088 --> 00:04:48.427
And what it says is if I could give you only one piece of advice for your life, it would be to take it easy.
00:04:48.427 --> 00:04:57.327
There is a lot to experience, feel and do, but it will all be more enchanting and less hairy if you can stand down.
00:04:57.327 --> 00:04:58.423
I believe in you.
00:04:58.423 --> 00:05:00.024
Try relaxing now.
00:05:00.024 --> 00:05:10.966
And it even says dear God, please help me drop all tension from my body and stay restful, yet alert, so you can work through me.
00:05:10.966 --> 00:05:15.487
Great Kat, amen, kat, amen.
00:05:15.487 --> 00:05:17.221
Okay, make time.
00:05:17.281 --> 00:05:19.928
Is your next card, kat, with these beautiful butterflies?
00:05:19.928 --> 00:05:20.470
Okay?
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:29.149
And it says cultivating relationship with spirit is the single most important thing you can do to help yourself and everybody you love.
00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:38.331
By drawing close to God or universe, your higher power, whatever you call the great mystery, you'll temporarily be given a reprieve from suffering.
00:05:38.331 --> 00:05:44.593
With practice, little by little, you'll be able to bring a little bit of heaven back to earth.
00:05:44.593 --> 00:05:47.327
So you need some Jesus.
00:05:47.327 --> 00:05:49.146
And then be tender.
00:05:49.146 --> 00:05:51.125
This is good.
00:05:51.125 --> 00:05:52.704
We need you to be tender.
00:05:52.704 --> 00:05:55.668
Taking everything personally can lead to misery.
00:05:55.668 --> 00:06:02.125
To avoid this approach, everything softly, like a feather oh, feather is important to you.
00:06:02.125 --> 00:06:09.444
Okay, walk on the ground like a feather, listen like a feather, speak like a feather.
00:06:09.444 --> 00:06:11.346
This sounds like you wrote this damn thing.
00:06:11.346 --> 00:06:17.331
Feathers enable flight, not because they are hardened, but because of their softness.
00:06:17.331 --> 00:06:21.547
Where will you try to bring a little tenderness, kat?
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:23.651
That's your stack.
00:06:23.651 --> 00:06:26.728
Do you want me to answer that question?
00:06:26.728 --> 00:06:29.326
Yeah, it is a conversation.
00:06:29.326 --> 00:06:31.004
Will you ask it again?
00:06:31.004 --> 00:06:31.826
Nobody's bitter.
00:06:32.982 --> 00:06:33.966
I'm not bitter either.
00:06:33.966 --> 00:06:38.750
I need to remember how to convert converse.
00:06:38.750 --> 00:06:40.273
It's not easy for me.
00:06:40.273 --> 00:06:46.024
Okay, so did any of those mean something to you and what are you taking from that?
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.927
Every one of those meant something to me.
00:06:48.927 --> 00:07:03.391
The one encouraging me to relax is something that, for financial reasons, I have made some adjustments in my supportive healing things that I receive.
00:07:03.391 --> 00:07:24.074
Yeah, because it's getting close to Christmas Money is tight right now, just all the life things and so I have said okay, I've acquired and developed a lot of tools that I know how to use and so I'm just going to pump the brakes a little bit on paying for my support team to support me.
00:07:24.074 --> 00:07:42.476
And one of the things that one of my people who told me is that, while you are not going to engage in this practice, like with me, as much as maybe you normally do, you might want to check out like, what are you going to do for yourself to compensate for that?
00:07:42.476 --> 00:07:55.528
And one of the things that you might consider, because I think it's important to you, is Some sort of spiritual practice like meditation, contemplation, etc.
00:07:55.528 --> 00:07:55.990
Etc.
00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:56.291
Etc.
00:07:56.774 --> 00:07:58.964
And I have been doing different versions of that.
00:07:58.964 --> 00:08:49.543
I'm not it's not looked the same every day since that was recommended to me and I've been been doing it semi regularly and I am taking a week and I'm going to go and do my job from out in Southwest Colorado in a couple of weeks I'm gonna have to take on my podcast gear, like I'm gonna have to like, do all the things and and I'm really excited that like, and I'm not taking the week off per se I am going to go and do my job in a different environment, correct, and I'm going to do that in a different environment where there is also a weekend, so that I can Really be off and relax and go to the hot springs and go, and you know, we've talked about maybe that's when I get my tattoo and and stuff like that.
00:08:49.543 --> 00:08:53.491
And so that card really resonates very beautifully with me moose.
00:08:53.491 --> 00:08:56.759
And then the second one that had the butterflies on it.
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.273
What was the admonition?
00:09:00.307 --> 00:09:07.738
it was Make time, make time, make time yeah and I think that was with your creator.
00:09:08.166 --> 00:09:20.003
Yes, and, and I would say again, like that fits into the whole, like kind of meditation, contemplation, all of that, like I've I've asked for those moments to be inspired.
00:09:20.003 --> 00:09:21.287
So, yay, I'm doing that too.
00:09:21.287 --> 00:09:29.975
And then the the last one being tender, the symbolism of a feather is really, really important to me.
00:09:29.975 --> 00:09:42.985
It has become something to me that I view is like a manifestation of my guardian angels, of like my people who protect me or give me wisdom, or whatever you want to call it.
00:09:42.985 --> 00:09:46.205
The Holy Spirit feels very good to me.
00:09:46.205 --> 00:10:11.460
I Feel that is symbolized by feather, and so it's just neat that, yeah, yeah, and and I do try to approach things very tenderly, and sometimes too tenderly, so sometimes I need to just go like I need you to do your fucking job, you know, it's like I don't need to be so tender and I so, yeah, I feel like these cards really are resonant with me and I'm so curious like what you guys are gonna pull.
00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.245
I love it.
00:10:13.087 --> 00:10:17.091
Okay, sarah, three cards, here we go.
00:10:17.091 --> 00:10:17.974
Boom, boom, boom.
00:10:17.974 --> 00:10:18.937
Let's push through.
00:10:20.505 --> 00:10:24.033
Tell me when to stop, I'm just gonna say one, two and three and you're gonna grab them.
00:10:24.595 --> 00:10:25.977
Okay, go one.
00:10:27.846 --> 00:10:29.451
Okay, I'm not even looking.
00:10:29.451 --> 00:10:33.298
Two, okay, three, well, yeah, I'm not ready.
00:10:33.298 --> 00:10:40.677
Okay, three, okay, here we go the cards today for Sarah and possibly any of our listeners.
00:10:40.677 --> 00:10:42.419
Take what you want from this.
00:10:42.419 --> 00:10:47.172
Your first card is Kat's gonna be jealous of this one.
00:10:47.172 --> 00:10:57.820
You guys could just play goat, goat, go fish or goldfish, which is it?
00:10:57.820 --> 00:11:01.909
Go fish, okay, easy tiger says.
00:11:01.909 --> 00:11:06.759
Zeal can be an excellent quality and will help you accomplish great things.
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:13.250
Just remember to allow a dose of its polar opposite Slacking off to balance it.
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:14.534
Oh, that's all I do.
00:11:14.534 --> 00:11:17.524
Okay, well, okay, great, um, so great job.
00:11:17.605 --> 00:11:19.389
I'm doing great, then Okay, good job, sarah.

All right, thank you.

And then secondly, share your medicine.
00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:27.736
I feel like your guys cards are are getting swapped.
00:11:27.736 --> 00:11:28.525
That's cool Looking.
00:11:28.525 --> 00:11:29.990
Share your medicine, sarah.

Do what you're fucking amazing at.
00:11:32.119 --> 00:11:33.544
I'm just reading what the card says.
00:11:33.544 --> 00:11:41.278
I don't normally say words like that Give us what you've got, name one of your superpowers right now and find a way to use it.
00:11:41.278 --> 00:11:43.370
Okay, you're on the spot go.
00:11:44.966 --> 00:11:45.788
Audio production.
00:11:46.289 --> 00:11:47.714
Yeah, manifest it.
00:11:47.714 --> 00:11:49.399
What do you want to do with audio production?
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:49.879
I?
00:11:49.941 --> 00:11:53.488
want to produce more audio, oh great.
00:11:53.668 --> 00:11:58.056
If you want Sarah to produce your podcaster audio book, go for it.
00:11:58.056 --> 00:12:00.080
Okay, next swim in it.
00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:02.488
Oh, that's a pretty one.
00:12:02.587 --> 00:12:03.791
Okay, here's what it says.
00:12:03.791 --> 00:12:08.208
Cash is a subject Wow we just talked about.
00:12:08.208 --> 00:12:10.115
Let's all take this in whatever it says.
00:12:10.144 --> 00:12:14.524
I mean this is for all of us today cash is a subject you think about a lot.
00:12:15.530 --> 00:12:21.115
I Recommend you stand knee-deep in the river and really feel the flow of life.
00:12:21.115 --> 00:12:34.578
Wow, the sensation of lack Often emerges when you're mentally rehashing a past financial debacle which, by the way, was not really a debacle, but just what happened.
00:12:34.578 --> 00:12:43.225
When you feel poor, return to the flow, swim in it, revel, invite someone who stuck on shore to join you.
00:12:43.225 --> 00:12:47.034
Hmm, this experience is all you've ever really longed for.
00:12:47.216 --> 00:12:50.071
Anyway, Wow, that's special.
00:12:50.071 --> 00:12:51.996
That's pretty awesome.
00:12:52.626 --> 00:12:54.032
Well, fantastic.
00:12:54.885 --> 00:12:56.028
Okay, your turn.
00:12:56.028 --> 00:13:06.565
Well, I I mean, maybe it's my job as the self-important Commentator to want to say something about every one of those cards on your behalf, sarah.
00:13:06.565 --> 00:13:10.465
Do it go my gosh, like you're doing the thing.
00:13:11.568 --> 00:13:11.809
Yeah.
00:13:12.331 --> 00:13:12.714
I am.
00:13:15.985 --> 00:13:18.792
You're doing the incredible, great.
00:13:18.792 --> 00:13:22.298
Okay, I want to say something here because this is important.
00:13:22.298 --> 00:13:31.633
I want to honestly say, like, if people don't know what these cards are some people call them Oracle cards they're not terror cards, Don't worry.
00:13:31.633 --> 00:13:32.758
And and guess what?
00:13:32.758 --> 00:13:35.913
I don't care if you do like terror cards, I think that's fantastic.
00:13:36.375 --> 00:13:42.013
But what I want to say about these things there are signs and things all around us.
00:13:42.013 --> 00:13:44.317
Like cat, you got something about a feather.
00:13:44.317 --> 00:13:46.407
A feather is so important to you, sarah.
00:13:46.407 --> 00:13:52.945
Part of that is exactly something that you're walking through right, this isn't telling the fortune, it's, it's the universe going here.
00:13:52.945 --> 00:14:08.176
It's all here in front of you, and I had an experience the other day where I said, sarah, instead of saying when is it gonna happen, let's start saying it is happening, like this is part of the process.
00:14:08.176 --> 00:14:16.056
Yeah, this is happening, and that's not so much manifesting as for me, it's going like that.
00:14:16.236 --> 00:14:42.797
I have learned, if I've learned anything, I have learned that things are a process, and the reason I don't have or Haven't had a chance to Experience all the dreams that I have dreamed of is usually because I'm not at a place where I'm ready for whatever that is, and so, anyway, I said all of that and then yesterday I was sitting on my couch meditating and I look up and there's a sign.
00:14:42.797 --> 00:14:44.730
I'll take a picture of it.
00:14:44.730 --> 00:14:57.105
But there's a sign in my office that simply says the story is happening and this giant font, and I'm like, oh Well, bless my heart, I just realized that that is what I want for my life too.
00:14:57.105 --> 00:15:04.346
Hmm, and then on the other side of my office says allow it all, which.
00:15:04.346 --> 00:15:08.697
You can't put that on your office wall if you aren't gonna do it and I.
00:15:09.505 --> 00:15:16.004
It's so hard sometimes to allow the really hard shit, especially when it threatens your security at times.
00:15:16.004 --> 00:15:20.014
You know or at least for me, that's what scares me.
00:15:20.014 --> 00:15:23.706
I'm sure for some people that's disconnect or Whatever.
00:15:23.706 --> 00:15:35.304
But um, anyway, all that to say, I feel like this week that has been so in my peripheral, like everything is right here, like the answers are all right here.
00:15:35.625 --> 00:15:39.274
I just have to pause and like pay attention, to listen to it or hear it or see it.
00:15:39.274 --> 00:15:41.318
Listen and hear are the same things.
00:15:41.318 --> 00:15:43.470
They might not be.
00:15:44.645 --> 00:15:45.971
That's that they're very different.
00:15:45.971 --> 00:15:47.899
I'm are fighting words, in my opinion.
00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:49.465
Oh, tell me about that.
00:15:49.465 --> 00:15:51.750
Well, I just don't think listening and hearing are the same.
00:15:51.750 --> 00:15:58.658
I mean like you can hear a train horn blare or you can listen right to the train.
00:15:58.658 --> 00:16:01.288
Oh, you know what I mean.
00:16:01.288 --> 00:16:06.231
And so it's like kind of like the voice of Spirit or God, you know.
00:16:06.231 --> 00:16:09.984
It's like you can hear it or you can listen to it.
00:16:10.004 --> 00:16:14.404
Oh, oh, so it does listen, for you mean, there's a response.
00:16:14.404 --> 00:16:18.087
Not always okay.
00:16:18.927 --> 00:16:33.811
It means there's an intention, because to hear it like that is something that my body is physically going to do, because I have functioning eardrums and I'm so grateful that I do and that I can hear and I don't.
00:16:33.811 --> 00:16:37.397
It's an involuntary sense that I have.
00:16:37.397 --> 00:16:41.104
So for me to hear the train like I don't really have a choice.
00:16:41.104 --> 00:16:44.857
I mean, if I know it's coming, I can plug my ears, you know.
00:16:44.857 --> 00:16:49.869
But it's like, for the most part, to hear something to me doesn't feel intentional.
00:16:49.869 --> 00:16:54.860
To hear something, to hear something and go, I'm going to listen to that, I'm going to take it.
00:16:54.860 --> 00:17:02.842
For me, that means to take in the essence of what I'm hearing, whether it's a sound or a sentence or whatever.
00:17:02.842 --> 00:17:05.693
Those feel different to me, sarah.
00:17:05.693 --> 00:17:07.318
It looks like those feel different to you too.
00:17:08.289 --> 00:17:16.743
Yes, I well, I'm thinking of like when you're in a conversation with someone, or perhaps even an argument, there's a difference between hearing someone and listening to someone.
00:17:16.743 --> 00:17:20.663
I would even flip those words I'm listening, but are you hearing me?
00:17:20.663 --> 00:17:21.085
Like?
00:17:21.085 --> 00:17:22.289
Do I feel understood?
00:17:22.289 --> 00:17:23.172
Like you?
00:17:23.172 --> 00:17:27.082
Know it's one thing, to be like yeah, I'm part of the conversation but, like, did you hear what I said?
00:17:28.111 --> 00:17:28.852
One of your friends.
00:17:28.852 --> 00:17:39.762
Today, sarah, came to my office because she's doing some work on a tour that we're a part of, and she did this thing a couple of times when me and my other colleague were talking.
00:17:39.762 --> 00:17:42.826
She would go heard, heard, heard.
00:17:43.830 --> 00:17:51.440
You know, I've seen people do that in the restaurant business, like if a chef is calling out an order.
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:59.209
I have seen like on on TV, I've seen competitions and and that it's like heard, understood you know, that's the thing.
00:17:59.229 --> 00:18:02.324
Yeah, it's really neat and I'm acknowledging that I've got it.
00:18:02.324 --> 00:18:03.169
Yeah, interesting guys.
00:18:04.114 --> 00:18:05.701
Yeah, that's really neat perspective.
00:18:05.701 --> 00:18:07.289
Miss, are you going to draw cards?
00:18:08.532 --> 00:18:09.194
Sure, why not?
00:18:09.194 --> 00:18:09.797
Let's do it.
00:18:09.797 --> 00:18:11.521
If you're bored, just skip ahead.
00:18:11.521 --> 00:18:13.186
But I'm not at this point.
00:18:13.207 --> 00:18:15.452
Don't ever say that to people I don't know.
00:18:15.452 --> 00:18:16.536
Stick around y'all.
00:18:16.536 --> 00:18:18.221
We've got something great coming.
00:18:23.450 --> 00:18:25.916
All right, guys, these are for you as well.
00:18:25.916 --> 00:18:27.161
I'm going to pull this one.
00:18:28.333 --> 00:18:32.263
I'm kind of sad that mine were only for me and, like our listeners, didn't get to be involved.
00:18:32.263 --> 00:18:34.289
And then, like for Sarah, they got to be involved.
00:18:34.731 --> 00:18:35.997
They all get to be involved.
00:18:35.997 --> 00:18:36.549
Yeah, okay.
00:18:37.352 --> 00:18:44.203
Because you are they and I am you and we are many together and we are us.
00:18:44.203 --> 00:18:45.392
Here we go, my cards.
00:18:45.392 --> 00:18:49.258
First one grow your heart.
00:18:49.258 --> 00:18:51.801
And what kind of animal is that?
