00:00:43.296 --> 00:00:47.560
What Is not?
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:48.682
One person has said anything to me.
00:00:48.762 --> 00:00:50.265
That surprises me a lot.
00:00:50.265 --> 00:00:53.673

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:01.920

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:13.525
I know Our dear friend and listener, Chris, reached out to all of us and I monitor our email for the three times that it's actually working and so we did hear from Chris, but I'm so glad that there are people out there that have been missing us.
00:01:13.546 --> 00:01:14.427
How are you guys, holy smokes.
00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:18.201

00:01:21.527 --> 00:01:26.873
You want to just do that in public, in front of thousands, millions of people.
00:01:26.894 --> 00:01:27.655
I think so.
00:01:27.655 --> 00:01:33.950
Basically, we experienced a bunch of death, Right yeah we did.
00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:36.963
I mean, it's crazy Pets and people.
00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:39.724
Yeah, I forgot about that.
00:01:41.341 --> 00:01:42.447
You forgot about death.
00:01:42.447 --> 00:01:47.227
How nice of an escape mechanism.
00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:53.665
I mean, honestly, I was like, oh, I just thought we've been busy, but there were a lot of deaths, death travel.
00:01:53.665 --> 00:02:04.393
Okay, start from the top cat okay, starting from the top, hi hi hey cat, hi cat, hey moose, hey sar Sarah.
00:02:04.713 --> 00:02:05.415
Hi.
00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:08.320
Okay, I would like to start with my update.
00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:18.137
First, because I feel super special right now and I just have a lot of energy because I'm so happy to see you both and to be doing our podcast again because I have missed it.
00:02:18.137 --> 00:02:20.662
Oh, I've missed it so bad, me too.
00:02:20.662 --> 00:02:22.824
I last night.
00:02:22.824 --> 00:02:24.907
Well, I'm going to back up a little bit.
00:02:24.907 --> 00:02:27.951
I have chewed a hole in a crown in my mouth.
00:02:28.272 --> 00:02:29.074
Oh, my God, yes.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.998
I could not wait to hear what was after I've chewed a hole.
00:02:33.998 --> 00:02:38.682
And I'm like, yeah, I chewed a hole in the hole, so you're not stressed.
00:02:38.682 --> 00:02:39.063
At all.
00:02:39.145 --> 00:02:39.705
Oh, my God.
00:02:39.907 --> 00:02:42.024
Oh gosh, I am, I mean, I'm so.
00:02:42.024 --> 00:02:54.403
I'm so good, I am so chill today that I have to leave my house at 11 o'clock because I'm going to the IMAX movie theater and I'm going to watch the Blue Angels documentary in the middle of the work day.
00:02:54.403 --> 00:03:02.346
Yeah, that's what I'm doing today incredible good for you yes, I'm going to go and just enjoy the shit out of that anyway.
00:03:02.346 --> 00:03:05.031
So a few days ago my crown popped off.
00:03:05.031 --> 00:03:11.157
I have crowns on every tooth in my mouth pretty much and one of them popped off and the dent.
00:03:11.197 --> 00:03:14.673
I went to the dentist to have him reseed it and he was like, well, you're gonna need a new one.
00:03:14.673 --> 00:03:15.938
And I was like, why?
00:03:15.938 --> 00:03:17.564
They're like two thousand dollars each.
00:03:17.564 --> 00:03:24.998
And oh my god, and he shut, he held it up and I could see light through it and he said you have chewed a hole in your crown.
00:03:24.998 --> 00:03:35.306
And I'm like, of course I have, because I have teeth of steel, you know, and um and so anyway, so it keeps popping off, even though he's temporarily reseated it.
00:03:35.306 --> 00:03:44.588
And so, um, last night the the dentist, I called and asked them what I should do and she was like, whatever you do, don't sleep with it in your mouth.
00:03:44.588 --> 00:03:45.550
What?
00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:49.016
Because I would hate for you to aspirate your crown.
00:03:49.276 --> 00:03:50.459
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:50.459 --> 00:03:52.081
What about aspirating you?
00:03:53.204 --> 00:03:57.151
Well, I think, aspirating my, crown would aspirate me.
00:03:57.211 --> 00:03:57.551
Yes.
00:03:57.633 --> 00:03:58.052
I think it.
00:03:58.052 --> 00:04:00.222
I think it would be an unhealthy situation.
00:04:00.241 --> 00:04:01.544
I understand, yeah, either way.
00:04:01.925 --> 00:04:17.254
And so last night, as if I am an elder person, I took out my tooth, I washed out my mouth, I cleaned my tooth and I set it on a white towel on the bathroom vanity.
00:04:17.254 --> 00:04:20.129
I'm going to get you a denture cleaner for your birthday.
00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:50.646
I pretty much I felt like I was utilizing dentures and then this morning, when I tried to reseed it back in my mouth with some temporary cement, I put like you know how, like, if you can imagine, putting like a putty, like cake icing in a little dish, okay, like, and then you try to put the dish on top of an orange Right, cake icing is gonna like come out.
00:04:50.646 --> 00:04:57.786
So this happened with my tooth and so my tooth is very high in my mouth oh, like it's sitting too high.
00:04:58.005 --> 00:04:59.509
That's gross.
00:04:59.528 --> 00:05:09.166
I don't like that feeling continue drilling a hole pretty much wow, that's annoying, but I'm gonna eat that damn popcorn, sarah yeah, oh hell, you have to.
00:05:09.187 --> 00:05:12.923
I mean, you can't go to the movie theater without just chew on the other side, just in case.
00:05:13.624 --> 00:05:20.302
Yeah, yeah, okay um, speaking of dentures and things like that, two things come up for me.
00:05:20.302 --> 00:05:23.788
One I had this babysitter growing up.
00:05:23.788 --> 00:05:52.790
That was like in the same townhouse area that we lived in and she must've been like a hundred years old, like the fact that my mom left my sister and I with her says how much my mom really cared, because from my memories, which are never accurate, we only were able to eat tomato soup there, which means I have a lot of trauma around tomato soup.
00:05:52.790 --> 00:06:02.088
And the other thing I remember about her is every time she would talk it was like this click of her dentures oh man.
00:06:02.288 --> 00:06:06.625
So it was like Andrea, get over here, Won't you?
00:06:06.625 --> 00:06:14.843
Oh, I don't know if they didn't have the cement correct or what was going on, but there was a click.
00:06:14.843 --> 00:06:24.913
To this day, if I meet someone who's got a little click in their talk, I go back to that tomato soup and sad little apartment.
00:06:24.913 --> 00:06:27.541
She watched.
00:06:27.541 --> 00:06:28.403
What's her name name?
00:06:28.403 --> 00:06:29.545
I need to ask my sister.
00:06:29.545 --> 00:06:39.872
The word that came up was ruby ruby, but I don't know if that was her name my sister she has less trauma at that rubies.
00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:48.545
The other thing that comes up is my mom had a partial plate and those are some weird looking things.
00:06:48.545 --> 00:06:51.473
Man, what like in her head?
00:06:57.286 --> 00:06:58.208
why is that funny?
00:06:59.649 --> 00:07:02.211
well, do you not know what a partial plate?
00:07:02.333 --> 00:07:04.274
is like okay clearly.
00:07:04.314 --> 00:07:05.516
Maybe that's an old phrase.
00:07:05.516 --> 00:07:07.704
How would you describe it, kat?
00:07:08.586 --> 00:07:26.836
um, I would describe a partial plate as a piece of dental equipment that replaces a lot of teeth at one time so like partial dentures, yeah, but it's like like I think my mom had like four.
00:07:29.961 --> 00:07:31.666
Hold on, I'm looking up an image.
00:07:31.666 --> 00:07:32.689
Did hers click about?
00:07:32.689 --> 00:07:35.528
No, hers were tightly fitted.
00:07:35.528 --> 00:07:39.850
Let me just show you what a partial plate can look like.
00:07:40.391 --> 00:07:40.851
Please do.
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:48.290
Okay, so this Sarah is is a partial plate can look like.
00:07:48.290 --> 00:07:51.213
Hey, that is awesome.
00:07:51.235 --> 00:07:53.562
These guys are called partial dentures.
00:07:53.562 --> 00:07:56.108
I don't see the word plate in here at all.
00:07:56.608 --> 00:08:11.951
Well, my mom's looked a little bit different, like beyond, just like the metal holding together the fake gums she had like a gum in the middle that just set up against the top, the roof of her mouth.
00:08:11.951 --> 00:08:13.255
I guess it wasn't a gum.
00:08:13.255 --> 00:08:22.709
It looked more like this, but not as many teeth I mean, that's straight up, dentures like this one down.
00:08:22.749 --> 00:08:24.170
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
00:08:25.252 --> 00:08:31.026
So it was more like that, but it had a roof attached to it, so she had like a double roof.
00:08:31.026 --> 00:08:35.149
But anytime I would see her partial plate, I would.
00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:37.594
It looked like something from a horror movie.
00:08:37.594 --> 00:08:47.600
She probably had it for like 40 years or something or something.
00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:53.052
I wonder what that was like inside of her mouth all the time having that that roof thing like up against the roof, and my sister has a thing kind of like that.
00:08:53.052 --> 00:08:55.604
I need to ask her what that sensation is like.
00:08:55.604 --> 00:08:57.048
Hmm.
00:08:57.769 --> 00:09:03.381
Well, I I know we really need to get past this topic, but I would just like to share this.
00:09:03.722 --> 00:09:04.783
Oh, I got more to say.
00:09:05.345 --> 00:09:05.504
I?
00:09:05.504 --> 00:09:16.066
Um, didn't have wisdom teeth, so all my molars are like the second set of teeth that people get, and so I have to have them.
00:09:16.066 --> 00:09:19.633
As they disintegrate, I have to get implants.
00:09:19.633 --> 00:09:28.663
That's fun, and so I've got three or four implants back there, um which they're like eight million dollars each.
00:09:28.683 --> 00:09:31.917
Oh yes, yeah, I think they're each 22 000, aren't?
00:09:31.937 --> 00:09:50.847
they are you kidding well, they gotta drill into your bone it's at least three grand the amount of a tooth jeez, louise guys, the thing that's so stupid is like it's a tiny, like double sided screw One goes down into the bone, the other one goes into the tooth.
00:09:50.847 --> 00:09:51.721
How?
00:09:51.861 --> 00:09:53.186
is that three grand.
00:09:53.186 --> 00:09:58.091
I know, I want that shit to fit perfectly Right.
00:09:58.841 --> 00:10:02.649
And I don't want to spend that much when I don't want to spend that much.
00:10:03.631 --> 00:10:18.414
To me, here's my question If, like if, an implant at the dentist is $3,000, then why, as a body worker, do I only get paid $130 for almost two hours?
00:10:18.414 --> 00:10:19.275
Yeah?
00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:22.048
Well, that's because you're not valuing yourself enough.
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.352
I think you should charge $2,300 an hour.
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:34.692
Yeah be like look, a guy puts a screw in your bone gets three grand.
00:10:34.692 --> 00:10:38.388
I'm trying to make your trauma come out of your body.
00:10:38.388 --> 00:10:39.269
Yeah, yes.
00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:42.466
Yeah, you're right, you should get paid at least a grand.
00:10:42.466 --> 00:10:43.110
I agree.
00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:46.905
Oh, I think double three grand Like six grand.
00:10:46.926 --> 00:10:47.125
Yeah.
00:10:47.166 --> 00:10:47.446
Yeah.
00:10:48.749 --> 00:10:50.270
Yeah, yeah, magician.
00:10:50.971 --> 00:10:52.114
Yeah, so who died?
00:10:52.114 --> 00:10:54.057
My cat died.
00:10:54.697 --> 00:10:59.650
Yeah, our old, really good friends Cat died.
00:11:01.400 --> 00:11:04.551
And your cousin, nope, your nephew.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.144
Happy the dog, oh, my and your cousin, nope, your nephew, happy the dog.
00:11:12.163 --> 00:11:13.126
Oh my god, I thought you're talking about cats.
00:11:13.126 --> 00:11:26.933
I did too, and I was like oh man, I thought sarah knew this was like an older person than me oh yeah, I forgot about my nephew too yeah, your, your dog, nephew bella the cat and Uncle T, uncle T.
00:11:27.014 --> 00:11:29.264
Yeah, cat's Uncle T.
00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:31.986
Do you want to say anything about that Cat?
00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:41.833
I think that my experiences as it surrounds that are going to just come out on the podcast over time.
00:11:41.833 --> 00:11:50.630
Yeah, I do think that you know, know I was thinking about this last night knowing that we were recording this morning that I do have a lot to say about it.
00:11:50.630 --> 00:12:05.813
I have a lot to say about like, oh my gosh, please organize your shit so that when your life is like if you really, really, really love, I agree the people in your life who are going to take care of things after you die.
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:15.591
Please just have your shit together in in some capacity, whether that's like record, a voice memo, and I know that's not legal, but you know it just.
00:12:15.591 --> 00:12:33.977
It's really really been challenging, yeah, um, to navigate, um, some of the things surrounding death, and it's really hard to navigate the grief of death, yeah, period.
00:12:33.977 --> 00:12:42.799
So when you slam those together, it's like what could go wrong, right, you know, you know it's just like utter chaos and confusion.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:56.244
And and um and my gosh, like, this was my uncle who, literally, under the influence of certain substances, thought he was the risen Lord.
00:12:56.465 --> 00:12:59.630
Yeah, I mean, I feel like that's a story we got to tell.
00:12:59.630 --> 00:13:00.195
Yeah.
00:13:01.157 --> 00:13:05.727
I mean, I mean, he, he really really I just will never forget.
00:13:05.727 --> 00:13:07.903
I think it was like at a family reunion or something.
00:13:07.903 --> 00:13:09.217
Really really I just will never forget.
00:13:09.217 --> 00:13:10.400
I think it was like at a family reunion or something.
00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:21.727
He walked up and and as he crested the hill he said I am the way, the truth and the life, and was holding out his outstretched arms and I was like that is Jesus Christ in my yard.
00:13:22.195 --> 00:13:24.543
He's in all of us, but Uncle T knew it.
00:13:25.235 --> 00:13:25.677
Yeah.
00:13:25.817 --> 00:13:28.669
He knew it, he knew it, man Yep, he knew it, he knew it.
00:13:28.669 --> 00:13:34.442
Oh, he knew it Death is so hard, so we've covered teeth and death.
00:13:35.666 --> 00:13:43.249
Yeah, I would like to take this moment to echo what you said Get your shit together, please, people.
00:13:43.249 --> 00:13:55.043
Just print out a piece of paper, put it on the refrigerator that says these are my wishes and then go clean up your shit, cause I don't want to go through all your shit.
00:13:55.043 --> 00:13:56.881
I don't care how much I love you.
00:13:57.436 --> 00:14:01.844
It's just a bunch of shit at that point and it's so hard to do at that stage.
00:14:01.844 --> 00:14:05.144
We've lost you, we're grieving.
00:14:05.144 --> 00:14:07.120
We don't want to sort through your stuff.
00:14:10.215 --> 00:14:15.485
Yeah, I might skip the movie today and just bring my trash can to the side of my office door and just empty my cabinets.
00:14:15.485 --> 00:14:17.115
It's a really good idea.
00:14:17.155 --> 00:14:17.756
I really do.
00:14:17.777 --> 00:14:24.259
You have to write a letter life we should do this because we don't know what's gonna happen just have it ready.
00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:26.562
Nobody wants to guess.
00:14:26.562 --> 00:14:35.389
If you want to be buried or cremated, you got to tell us producer sarah presents the midlife purge with cat and moose.
00:14:35.950 --> 00:14:37.475
Okay, yeah, it could be a series.
00:14:37.475 --> 00:14:40.278
I like it I do too all right.
00:14:41.561 --> 00:14:43.363
so what other life updates?
00:14:43.363 --> 00:14:49.152
Oh, I graduated with my master's degree, ladies and gentlemen, oh, there's that, there's that.
00:14:49.152 --> 00:15:00.206
And I had the best, sweetest group of friends celebrate and I want to say thank you to everyone, including you, Kat, and you, Sarah.
00:15:00.206 --> 00:15:01.980
It was very sweet.
00:15:02.914 --> 00:15:03.297
And.
00:15:03.638 --> 00:15:08.091
I ended up walking by the way, and that was special, and then I've applied for another program.
00:15:08.091 --> 00:15:11.880
I ended up walking by the way, and that was special, um, and then I've applied for another program.
00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:17.020
Really, yeah, we'll see, we're going to keep that on the DL right now.
00:15:17.663 --> 00:15:21.485
Oh, you just, you just let it come away from the DL.
00:15:21.485 --> 00:15:22.759
So you have to explain.
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:23.741
You got to spill.
00:15:24.224 --> 00:15:31.796
Well, I've applied for a counseling program at MTSU Really, yeah, yeah, got to spill.
00:15:31.796 --> 00:15:34.682
Well, I've applied for a counseling program at MTSU really, yeah, yeah, that's so cool and it doesn't guarantee I'll get in.
00:15:34.682 --> 00:15:39.798
They only take like 20 people, but wow, I'm just gonna see where this path leads me.
00:15:40.458 --> 00:15:41.881
Well, that, is very exciting.
00:15:42.143 --> 00:15:56.868
That's very exciting uh, sarah and I had dinner with a friend of hers who is a therapist last night and I was like asking her all these questions and saying, you know, did you have imposter syndrome at this point?
00:15:56.868 --> 00:16:08.125
Cause you know coaching, I'm not saying it's just like that at all, but the setting is the same, and so I knew emotionally why might what come up?
00:16:08.125 --> 00:16:11.674
Might what could, might what anyway?
00:16:11.674 --> 00:16:20.697
But I I found myself at this dinner just feeling alive asking these questions and I was like, all right, I got to do it.
00:16:20.697 --> 00:16:27.028
So I did the final little prep of the application this morning and it has been submitted.
00:16:27.028 --> 00:16:27.870
We'll see what happens.
00:16:28.995 --> 00:16:33.121
Moose, I am so impressed with you right now.
00:16:33.121 --> 00:16:36.047
I am like almost blushing.
00:16:36.047 --> 00:16:39.782
I am so happy for you right now, like that feels good.
00:16:39.802 --> 00:16:43.875
Well, I feel like you might want to join the program as well.
00:16:43.875 --> 00:16:50.313
Do you remember the time that we went to Lipscomb and did like the um, what?
00:16:50.354 --> 00:16:52.960
was that like orientation or orientation?
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.576
it was horrible, I know I was like there's nothing about this that makes me nothing.
00:16:57.576 --> 00:17:01.006
I mean, I hate to say that because we have friends that are in that program.
00:17:02.298 --> 00:17:06.625
Well, it doesn't mean that the orientation orientation was not impressive.
00:17:07.166 --> 00:17:07.387
no, it was.
00:17:07.387 --> 00:17:12.861
I mean, I would have come in and been like, let me tell you why you should choose us, and it was not that way, yeah.
00:17:12.881 --> 00:17:14.401
Yeah, it was certainly not that way.
00:17:14.401 --> 00:17:18.221
So I've been over here trying to.
00:17:18.221 --> 00:17:36.042
I have a chronic earth element imbalance and if you care anything about Chinese five element theory or if you don't, I am still saying that I have a really chronic earth imbalance and so I am trying to do better at.
00:17:36.042 --> 00:17:38.749
Here is where I end and here is where you begin.
00:17:39.695 --> 00:17:42.000
And I don't care who the you is.
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:51.763
You know if it's a client, if it's a family member, if it's one of you, whatever, if it's my dog, you know it's like we are not one enmeshed, codependent blob.
00:17:51.763 --> 00:17:54.169
I am me and you are you.
00:17:54.450 --> 00:17:54.891
And so.
00:17:55.472 --> 00:18:02.021
I was practicing as best as I could, not, going oh my God, I want to do it too.
00:18:02.021 --> 00:18:04.325
Why can't I do it too?
00:18:04.325 --> 00:18:06.227
Why you tell me, oh my God.
00:18:06.227 --> 00:18:17.380
And so I'm feeling really, really nurtured which is also an earth element thing by what seems like a slight invitation for me to join you.
00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:18.021
Do you really want?
00:18:18.041 --> 00:18:18.683
me to join you.
00:18:18.683 --> 00:18:21.181
I actually would be down for that.
00:18:21.181 --> 00:18:28.519
Because here's the thing though, it's not online, which I'm excited about.
00:18:28.519 --> 00:19:05.776
I mean, there's going to be hybrid stuff where classes will be online, but as far as once you get into leading, into your internship and all of those things you know you're, you're obviously in, but I am telling you, no matter what we do with these degrees to be a counselor and even if you were like I'm going to use this in my Jen Shindo stuff and me going, hey, I may end up in a business instead of my own private practice, but I have these skills, I'm a counselor oh my God, Like, so come on, bring it man.
00:19:05.836 --> 00:19:06.056
That's.
00:19:06.056 --> 00:19:07.218
That's so exciting.
00:19:07.218 --> 00:19:07.578
I don't.
00:19:07.578 --> 00:19:19.154
I don't know if it's a very limited capacity program and it's at all based on any sort of academic achievement, I will not get in, Okay.
00:19:19.255 --> 00:19:21.382
That is the most ridiculous thing ever.
00:19:21.563 --> 00:19:22.464
It's just true.
00:19:22.464 --> 00:19:35.876
Like I didn't do well in school, like I did great in massage school and in my training, but like in actual like school, where they put something on paper, that's like your GPA, like I am below average at best.
00:19:35.876 --> 00:19:37.038
Same.
00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:41.986
Well, hi, sarah, I would like to say hi, hi, see you.
00:19:43.028 --> 00:19:44.730
Okay, pause on this.
00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:57.989
However, come on if you would like to, because one of the things that Sarah's friend was sharing with me last night is the specific therapy group that she's with.
00:19:57.989 --> 00:20:15.510
They are looking for people who have been experienced in their industries, that now have gone to counseling school and that they will have that high touch point with for us, the music industry, for other people healthcare industry.
00:20:15.510 --> 00:20:23.239
So, like she's looking for people who are in their second careers because they already have the relationships inside of those industries.
00:20:23.358 --> 00:20:43.875
And that's what got me excited, because there are resources for artists, Um, but there aren't a lot of resources for those of us who work in the music industry, um, that are that where people actually understand what it's like to tour, what it's like to live and work in this music industry.
00:20:43.875 --> 00:20:46.503
It's like a lifestyle more than it is a job, you know.
00:20:46.503 --> 00:20:54.719
And so that got me excited because I was like, oh, there's actually people looking for folks to, to be specialized in those ways.
00:20:55.361 --> 00:20:55.823
It's that.
00:20:55.823 --> 00:20:59.013
And they're not counselors straight out of college.
