00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,500
Hi Kitty. 
Hello listeners are. 

2
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,900
You don't know this about Eric 
but I know this because I've 

3
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,300
been recording with him for over
what? 

4
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,200
Like 100 episodes two hundred 
episodes. 

5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,300
Now every time we started the 
podcast air goes through this 

6
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:44,300
like odd sequence of Jesus being
disgusting what and it's very 

7
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:49,100
adorable discuss is like cough a
bunch and then burp a And then 

8
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:50,500
wiggle around in his chair. 
Bunch. 

9
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:55,200
And then take a drink and then 
burps, it's really funny every 

10
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,000
time just this onslaught of 
weirdness because when I press 

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,900
record my brains like, all 
right, do all the things that 

12
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:04,500
you not going to do during a 
podcast you know like is your 

13
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:05,900
last chance. 
It's okay. 

14
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,900
Last chance to pee before 
there's no rest. 

15
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:10,600
Stop for a billions trillions. 
My get it, it's like and that's 

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600
why I find it to be so adorable 
and humanizing because it's just

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,300
I watch you be like okay I gotta
get it all out now, like it's 

18
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,900
really funny and then I also 
need The room, sounds the cylons

19
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:21,700
to, to cut out. 
So it's like that. 

20
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,900
And then and then I have to like
decide like when are you done 

21
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,400
making your gross noises and 
want to return room sounds like 

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,700
it's great. 
Well, that's what I usually. 

23
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:30,900
I usually hold up a finger for 
room sounds and then I start 

24
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,700
with by Katie. 
Yeah, except I've noticed that. 

25
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:38,100
Oftentimes, the H sound in. 
Hi, Katie gets is Beneath The 

26
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,700
Noise Gate because it's just a 
sound. 

27
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,600
It sounds like, well, I always 
sounds like, hi Katie. 

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Like at the beginning of episode
sound like Dick. 

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Van Dyke is why really leaned 
into the Eh there. 

30
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,000
Hello Katie. 
Hello, it was good. 

31
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,300
How's it going? 
Pretty good. 

32
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,100
You excited to pick up Billy the
at the groomers? 

33
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,600
Yeah, I keep checking my text 
messages to see if she's ready 

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,100
up but they haven't texted me. 
I'm glad we got her. 

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,400
I think deciding what haircut to
get Bailey was, I think I want 

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,900
to speak. 
I mean, I'm proud of us. 

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,800
I'm proud of us, because So 
Bailey is a Goldendoodle. 

38
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,300
Yeah, she's a rescue. 
Don't fucking add us. 

39
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:19,300
She was returned to the shelter 
like a bunch of times because 

40
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,700
people who want goldendoodles 
wanted, like, you know, a trophy

41
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:25,200
and not like a pet and they 
realized like, oh dogs are work,

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
it's more complicated than that,
but at least one until one time 

43
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,200
that happened. 
So anyways she's a rescue but 

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,100
he's a Pisces going to go score 
on the world but she's gold 

45
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:35,800
little. 
She has like curly hair and so 

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000
and long hair. 
So like she can have like that 

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
long floofy, you know, dog show 
coat thing. 

48
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,700
Brody on Tick-Tock like Brody 
and Tick-Tock their dog named 

49
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:46,900
Brody on. 
Take my God, you receive 

50
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,200
anything. 
Go to golden doodle? 

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,100
I don't think so. 
Okay, I know that this is a 

52
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:52,800
podcast recording but I am going
to pull up a birdie that, okay, 

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,300
pull up pause now. 
Dear listener, and look up gold,

54
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:01,500
Brody the golden doodle, on your
phone to follow friends, Brody 

55
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,800
golden doodle. 
Okay, look at this fucking dog. 

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,700
Like this fucking, dog, let me 
see this. 

57
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:08,900
And let me see this animal, 
let's let me see this. 

58
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:13,300
Good one is mammal. 
Very good, very good. 

59
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,000
This dog. 
Oh my gosh buddy. 

60
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000
That is a fluffy boy is a fluffy
boy as a baby. 

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800
That's a giant like yeah. 
It's like they don't like size 

62
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:23,300
classification. 
Yeah, giant-sized. 

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,900
Yeah. 
Look at this out, it looks like 

64
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:29,500
a the Cowardly Lion. 
Yeah, yeah, little guy is the 

65
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,000
best dog. 
He is really bad. 

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
It going down escalators but 
apparently, like all, dogs are 

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,700
bad at escalators. 
I wouldn't let Bailey stand on. 

68
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,500
I would always pick up Bailey 
just cause you know, like I'm 

69
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,000
surprised dogs can even do 
stairs. 

70
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,900
And then look at this dog 
there's a big fluffy guy. 

71
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:48,000
Yeah please look up Brody the 
lab that golden doodle on Tick, 

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Tock Brody that's dude. 
Spelled d00d. 

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Cool but we are so even think 
about like, you know, it'd be 

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,800
cool if Bailey had like a big 
fluffy coat like that, you know.

75
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,500
Yeah. 
Just because it'd be cool but 

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,200
those take a lot of fucking 
maintenance and like Bailey 

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,600
doesn't really like getting 
brushed and so it's really hard 

78
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,200
for us to like, really do 
thorough brushing. 

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
I mean, we brush her like yeah, 
you know, idly all the time but 

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,000
like doing really thorough 
brushing aside. 

81
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,100
Ins is really hard when you're 
an amateur and the dog doesn't 

82
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,800
like it. 
And so when we were deciding 

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,700
what haircut together, I thought
I was considering and I think 

84
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:23,000
you were too and I'm proud of us
for it like considering 

85
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,600
Realistically. 
What can we manage? 

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600
Because I always want a pie in 
the sky, like, oh well don't 

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,200
worry. 
We'll just groomer every fucking

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800
day or whatever. 
But it's like we have 21 first 

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,800
and foremost you wrote. 
So I do right by Bailey. 

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,500
Yeah. 
You know, and like a big coat 

91
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:39,500
like that is only comfortable 
for a dog if it's really well 

92
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,400
groomed. 
Yeah. 

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,900
And so it was one of those 
things where it's like, all 

94
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:44,900
right, what realistically, you 
know, it was like it was one of 

95
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:47,300
those like sort of settling 
moments from sobering moments, 

96
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,200
when I was like, I have to 
acknowledge like not just like 

97
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,500
what do I want to do? 
Like ideally in the worldly life

98
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:56,200
but what am I actually? 
King of all capable of and I was

99
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,300
like honestly we are not capable
of well not not currently, I 

100
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,900
mean I'm sure we do but like 
yeah this moment we're not and 

101
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:06,500
also we had to like go to class 
to like learn how to brush her 

102
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:09,100
because there's like a whole 
special and get are used to it. 

103
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,300
You know, getting her used to it
has been challenging but she's 

104
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:12,600
getting better. 
She sells yeah. 

105
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,400
Hates getting her face brush, 
but the rest of it, chilly 

106
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,000
settle down for ya. 
Actually, if you bribery out of 

107
00:05:18,008 --> 00:05:21,300
the handbag the handbag would 
you like to explain ma'am back 

108
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,600
to him back Lynn back. 
So Possibly the highest value. 

109
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Like reward, not the highest but
like the highest value reward. 

110
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,300
That's like so casual. 
It's not like a piece of steak 

111
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:32,900
from your dinner, that's like 
cool. 

112
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,600
Yeah. 
But like the highest value 

113
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,700
reward for dog is kind of around
his lunch meats it's really good

114
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,200
for dog training. 
Launch me that's like fucking 

115
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,000
prime rib to, they'll do 
anything for lunch. 

116
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Me and so I've been training 
Bailey aliping like going harder

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,800
and Bailey training lately 
because you were gone at Chad. 

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,300
And I was like fuck. 
I'm just gonna try to shut up. 

119
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:53,700
Bailey this whole time and 
anyways, so I started carrying 

120
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:56,600
her Around a bag of ham on me. 
I like lunch. 

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,700
Meat ham, just all the time just
so I can. 

122
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:02,400
If I ever really needed to do 
something I can use the handbag 

123
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,800
but it works great. 
You know, Bailey will do 

124
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,800
anything for the handbag. 
But the thing is, if she knows 

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,800
you don't have it on you, then 
she doesn't give a shit. 

126
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:11,100
Yeah. 
She like doesn't care. 

127
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:13,400
So Katie, you know what I do? 
You know what to do? 

128
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,500
Katie. 
You probably have in your 

129
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,600
pockets. 
Yeah. 

130
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,300
All right. 
I do. 

131
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:24,200
That was your joke. 
Yes. 

132
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,300
Wasn't it, your kids are with 
your own hand. 

133
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:30,500
When you rub him on you in the 
pockets of the coat that I wear 

134
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,200
II, just put ham like just loose
in the pockets. 

135
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:50,500
Just look at that. 
Just loose ham, like Psych. 

136
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400
That's mine cart to no no not 
your coat. 

137
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:59,800
Plaid one the fiber and also 
once your coat. 

138
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,700
Yeah. 
But accidentally type, I thought

139
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:03,800
I put a piece of ham back in the
handbag but I just put it in the

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,600
pocket and it was there 
overnight. 

141
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,900
But now the jacket always smells
like ham. 

142
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:12,500
So she always thinks I have the 
ham and then I also will, I like

143
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:14,000
the first time I did it work 
glove. 

144
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:18,100
Just because, I don't know, 
whenever it's like gross, but 

145
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:19,800
then I stopped wearing gloves 
because they my hands smell like

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,700
ham the rest of the day. 
And Bailey's more likely to do 

147
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,000
what I want but it's a day it's 
dangerous game because like now 

148
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
if my hands smell like ham, then
a lot of time she'll smell the 

149
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
him. 
Go off my hand and there's 

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,400
nothing in it. 
So I'm worried that she's 

151
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,900
associating the smell of ham 
with like maybe he has ham. 

152
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,000
Not like that's the guy with 
ham. 

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,100
You want to be the ham guy want 
to be the head. 

154
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,500
That's what you want to be with 
a guy. 

155
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,100
You wanna be the hammer? 
Beating him guy? 

156
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:45,700
Who's got the ham? 
I've hey, if you're a dog 

157
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:52,200
trainer, Joel would absolutely 
should be like Wyatt. 

158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,500
Joel is in the podcast. 
Joel is Joel is the person who 

159
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,800
like looks after our dog, when 
there's nobody else and he's 

160
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,900
done some training sessions with
her, very good as drop, that 

161
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:04,800
jolts want to tick tock as scoob
and is co o be a ND. 

162
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,900
I yes, Siri, good dogs. 
Are teacher. 

163
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:10,000
Good dog trainer. 
Yeah, we had a handbag dude. 

164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,300
Can bag it gets Bailey to, you 
know, I'm trying to like Eric if

165
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,300
you were, I'm sorry I just 
Thought of this, if you were 

166
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:23,500
going to have a handbag like for
me, what would your handbag have

167
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,000
it? 
Like what is the thing where 

168
00:08:26,008 --> 00:08:28,100
it's like, oh fuck. 
Okay, I'll do it for that. 

169
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Yeah, because I feel like this 
is going to be my cool pivot 

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,400
into talking about 
neurodivergent. 

171
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,100
See, I was kind of jealous. 
Yeah. 

172
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,400
Okay well I don't know because 
it's different. 

173
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,600
So like sometimes it would be 
like ice cream for sure. 

174
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,900
Because there are sometimes when
like I fucking want some goddamn

175
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,400
ice cream, sometimes it would be
Sushi. 

176
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,400
Okay. 
I think like I would do, I 

177
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,400
fucking love sushi so much. 
If it was like, Eric if you do 

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
the thing, I'll give you use it 
on a zero g. 

179
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,100
And I'm like, oh, Maybe a back 
rub definitely like a really 

180
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:05,900
committed back rub for sure, and
then canceling plans casing 

181
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:08,100
plans as him back. 
Yeah. 

182
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,500
If it's like, yeah, Eric. 
If you do this, then you don't 

183
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:12,800
have to go to the sink or you 
don't have to. 

184
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
That's very, you know, not all 
things like something I want to 

185
00:09:15,008 --> 00:09:17,700
do but you know if it's like I 
don't know. 

186
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,800
A dumb thing then. 
Yeah. 

187
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:24,500
Why do you ask Katie or Soros? 
Well, because hey good. 

188
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,800
We never got together. 
It's fun. 

189
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,300
It's because I was thinking 
about external motivation. 

190
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,300
Yeah. 
For people with ADHD because I 

191
00:09:33,308 --> 00:09:35,500
feel like in this is I'm gonna, 
I'm gonna be really honest. 

192
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:39,000
I'm gonna I'm gonna say a thing 
for really long time. 

193
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,600
I had some very like, I'll call 
it what it is. 

194
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,900
I had some really ableist takes 
on stuff like external 

195
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:50,600
motivation or like external 
rewards for stuff and I don't 

196
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,000
know why. 
Like I don't know why I think a 

197
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:55,000
lot of it was just like sort of 
internalized ableism and Like a 

198
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,200
lot of like judgment that I like
had put on myself and like not 

199
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:03,900
realized that it was, you know, 
like being like why why would I 

200
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,500
judge myself? 
You know, but I do that a lot. 

201
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:10,100
And so then recently I started 
was thinking about the handbag, 

202
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,300
I mean, just conceptually the 
conceptual idea, they have a cam

203
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:17,900
back but I was thinking about 
like, how like I watch You know,

204
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:20,500
like, I like, I like, I watch a 
lot of tic, tacs know, I watch a

205
00:10:20,508 --> 00:10:24,100
lot of stuff about, you know, 
people struggling to get stuff 

206
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:26,800
done or struggling to start 
stuff and that idea of like, oh 

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,500
well, get sushi afterwards, 
we'll get chocolate afterwards 

208
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:31,300
or like, you know, I'll give 
myself a piece of candy, or I'll

209
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:32,800
put a star on the calendar, or 
whatever. 

210
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,100
And I used to think that stuff 
was so silly. 

211
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,700
And then, at some point, I was 
like, well, why am I describing 

212
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,700
this idea of it being silly. 
If it's something that works, 

213
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,300
you know. 
Like if it's something that is 

214
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,500
like helpful and whatever like 
who am I to judge somebody for 

215
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,700
Like, you know, having a piece 
of candy after they clean their 

216
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,100
room or going to get sushi to 
like celebrate, you know, 

217
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:54,900
finishing the email or whatever.
And so then I started wondering 

218
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:56,400
like, how many other people do 
that? 

219
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,900
Like how many people deny 
themselves that external 

220
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,300
motivation? 
Because there's this idea that 

221
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:04,600
it's like, oh well I should just
be able to get it done. 

222
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:08,600
I should just be able to do it 
without the reward or I should 

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,200
just do it for the sake of doing
it. 

224
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:13,100
And now I'm kind of like very 
much on the opposite side where 

225
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,500
I'm just like treat yourself 
2022 every day. 

226
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,400
All the time you deserve it, you
know, and I think the longer 

227
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,200
that the world is what it is and
like the political climate is 

228
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,200
what it is. 
And Twitter is what it is and 

229
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,200
like everything. 
It's like climate change, 

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,800
climate change, you know, but 
really like I sort of look at 

231
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,900
stuff and I'm like, we are like 
we have a society have been 

232
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:38,000
collectively living through like
a trauma response for the past 

233
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,800
like four years with, like, 
frankly, no end in sight. 

234
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:45,300
And so it's like, you know what?
If you fucking need some sushi 

235
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,300
to like, On to the email or to 
put a star on the calendar 

236
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:52,400
because you did the dishes 
fucking good for you, good for 

237
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,300
you for finding a reason to 
like, you know, do the thing. 

238
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,800
But I just I don't know. 
Like I spend a lot of time 

239
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600
thinking about how long I just 
didn't. 

240
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600
I did that to myself because I 
was like embarrassed to need it 

241
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,000
or I was embarrassed to want it 
and then you know, Bailey just 

242
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,500
got a handbag and doesn't care. 
You know, she's like yeah I mean

243
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,300
I know there's a difference 
between like a neurodivergent 

244
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,400
person and a dog. 
I want to be very clear about 

245
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,500
that but like they've done 
studies. 

246
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,800
But like you know what I mean? 
It's just, it's just that idea 

247
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,000
of like Just denying yourself 
something because it quote 

248
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,700
unquote should be another way or
suggest be easy or something 

249
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:30,700
like that. 
And I feel like we do that or 

250
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,200
like at least I feel like I do 
that a lot to myself where I 

251
00:12:34,208 --> 00:12:37,400
will purposely be like I could 
reward myself but instead I'm 

252
00:12:37,408 --> 00:12:41,300
going to like weirdly like 
reverse punish myself for like 

253
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:42,900
not doing it. 
Yeah, I know what you mean. 

254
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:45,200
Yeah, you're shooting yourself. 
Yeah. 

255
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,300
Like oh I should be able to keep
my office clean. 

256
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,900
So then when I clean it, I don't
give myself a reward because 

257
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,300
it's like, oh well I should have
just done that to begin with and

258
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,500
it's like now. 
Do you still accomplished 

259
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,000
cleaning the office? 
You know. 

260
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:58,400
I don't know where I was going 
with that but notice you but 

261
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,300
like motivation. 
Yeah, well I thought of a dumb 

262
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,500
thing in the middle of that, 
that I think is kind of silly 

263
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,900
why I have a hard time with 
that, just because self-control 

264
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:09,500
like from like pretty early in 
my life. 

265
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,400
I realized like oh the things 
that I'm not allowed to do. 

266
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,300
It's not that I'm not allowed to
do them. 

267
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:17,000
It's just that I have to be 
willing to pay the consequences.

268
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,200
This is like I am like it's not 
a matter of can and can't it's a

269
00:13:21,208 --> 00:13:24,900
matter of cost like like I am 
allowed to sneak out of my house

270
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:27,600
whenever the hell I want. 
So long as I'm willing to then 

271
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,300
be grounded, like it's costs 
being grounded for a week to 

272
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:33,700
sneak out of your house at night
like murder is not illegal. 

273
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,200
If you are willing to pay the 
price of whatever the 

274
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,500
consequences of that in the 
being. 

275
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,100
Okay, this is why I'm sorry. 
Is that a stable? 

276
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,400
Don't murder people. 
But I was there's this new show 

277
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,600
that just came out called Inside
Man and it has David Tennant and

278
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,200
call. 
I can't remember Stanley Tucci. 

279
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,100
I want to say one of those. 
Yeah, Stanley Tucci but there's 

280
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,200
wine in it that just says, 
everybody is a murderer. 

281
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,700
You just haven't met the right 
person yet. 

282
00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:59,900
I thought that was really funny.
Anyway. 

283
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:01,600
Sorry. 
Well, that's funny. 

284
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,100
Well, I just everything's better
cost so when I'm like oh I you 

285
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:11,100
know I can eat sushi after I 
clean my room or my officer, 

286
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:15,300
whatever you like, or I could 
have sushi right now. 

287
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,500
If I'm willing to pay the cost 
of not having the clean room, 

288
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,200
you know, like peace. 
You know, you're writing the 

289
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,500
rules up in this piece, you 
know. 

290
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,600
Like you can you don't actually 
have to wait until you're done 

291
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
to eat the chocolate or whatever
and that's the part. 

292
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,500
I always had a problem with I 
was so aware that it's like, I 

293
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:31,700
am artificially. 
I think Yang it. 

294
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:34,100
Yeah, that's why I've liked. 
Come up with Contraptions and 

295
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,800
shit for like not not physical, 
but just like in my head of like

296
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:42,400
a safe that only opens once 
every so long I think was when I

297
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200
was quitting smoking, I was 
like, okay, I'll build a safe 

298
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:48,500
that dispenses exactly one 
cigarette a day and that's it. 

299
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:51,100
And so like, Artists like we 
could just go buy more like, you

300
00:14:51,108 --> 00:14:52,500
know, there's always a way 
around it. 

301
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,800
I think that's the hardest part.
So there's always a way around 

302
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,400
so it was also linked in terms 
of training Bailey. 

303
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Hmm. 
So like in dog training, not 

304
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,900
that, I'm a dog trainer but like
you know I watch videos and shit

305
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:06,800
because yeah great and dogs are 
the best. 

306
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,300
But so there's a there's a big 
part of it is the value of 

307
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,500
reward so like a piece of kibble
is a very low value reward 

308
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,300
better than nothing, but it's 
very low compared to like a 

309
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:20,400
piece of ham. 
Am so, like, with Bailey, it's 

310
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,800
sort of like, kibble, a treat, 
like, like a bag treat piece of 

311
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800
ham, and then like, something 
from the fridge, like a piece of

312
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,000
chicken or something like that. 
And so, when I was reading her 

313
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,400
to like, drop the ball after she
would fetch. 

314
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,300
Like so she would fetch the ball
but then she would run back and 

315
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:39,700
then she wouldn't let go of it. 
You have to like Paul and she 

316
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,800
would play tug-of-war and you'd 
have to like do the snout thing 

317
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,700
together to drop it which one is
obnoxious. 

318
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:48,500
But also with your hands in the 
way that they are like that 

319
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,500
limits, the amount It would be 
better if she dropped it and you

320
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:52,200
wouldn't have to fucking pry it 
out of her mouth. 

321
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Okay, so I was working on 
getting her to drop the ball 

322
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,800
after that. 
And so I started with just all 

323
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,600
highly by value rewards. 
Every time she does, she gets a 

324
00:16:00,608 --> 00:16:04,200
piece of turkey and shield. 
You fucking anything for a piece

325
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,500
of turkey or ham depends. 
I think it's become the eve, 

326
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,800
whether it's turkey or ham. 
It's still the handbag still 

327
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,100
Hammond, still a handbag, so 
she'll do anything. 

328
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:17,600
And then I started and the first
time I did it, like the very 

329
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,900
first time when I was like, I 
have he and then she got a thing

330
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:22,000
and I brought back, I gave her a
fuck ton. 

331
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,100
I give her like, too big so I 
like just jackpot at her like, 

332
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,700
yes. 
And then I would give her like a

333
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:29,700
rag, like just a little piece, a
little peaceful piece and then I

334
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:31,700
give her another like fucking 
jackpot. 

335
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:34,100
It's so cute. 
Kissy knowing our dogs you know 

336
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,800
ended up. 
Yeah no most definitely and so 

337
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,800
now I have mixed in so it's 
either turkey a piece of kibble,

338
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:44,900
a treat or nothing, it's rare. 
I just randomly choose or as 

339
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:46,200
much as close as I can to 
randomly. 

340
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,300
I just like reaching I can just 
grab one and so For her. 

341
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:53,000
It's like, you know, it could be
nothing, but it also could be. 

342
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,300
And so now even the idea is so 
that when I give her nothing, 

343
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,800
she's not like the whole point 
is that show that she doesn't 

344
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,500
come like that cover anything, 
like that's the other. 

345
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:03,900
So if you see Erica packs, you 
please ask him for a piece of 

346
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:08,800
ham from his pocket. 
I will have am in my pocket but 

347
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,500
yeah, no, I'm Casino where 
because of the ultimately I 

348
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,200
wanted to do it whether or not I
have trade. 

349
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,800
Yeah. 
But if I just go from giving her

350
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,500
treats to not giving her treats 
that you what the fuck where 

351
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:18,900
were the turkey go? 
But if you like Slide the scale,

352
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Dale. 
And like even if I'm if I do 

353
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,599
like like if it was like a whole
day we're fetching and I don't 

354
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,000
give her anything once during 
the day, I'll just give her a 

355
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,500
big fucking thing a turkey. 
Well she does. 

356
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,300
So she always knows there's a 
chance. 

357
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,400
Anyways I'm like trying to mind 
fuck myself in the same way. 

358
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,300
Like how do I do that to myself?
Yeah, you know Drive make I 

359
00:17:36,308 --> 00:17:38,900
could make a slot machine and 
like every time I finish a 

360
00:17:38,908 --> 00:17:42,400
thing, I get to pull the slot 
machine and it could be a thing.

361
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,900
Or it could be like a I don't 
know, little doodad punishing, 

362
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
that's fun. 
That's kind of fun. 

363
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,700
Yeah, also babe Hmm this podcast
is about to take a weird hard 

364
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:56,000
left. 
I think they make safes like 

365
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,500
that. 
Eric they make safes then open 

366
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,500
once a day that open at a 
predetermined set of time. 

367
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,300
Well they do that. 
They make those. 

368
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:07,900
It's for a sex thing but they do
make those Super King thing. 

369
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,500
What's the king for? 
It's in the state haven't heard 

370
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:12,300
of this. 
What? 

371
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:20,400
It's okay, some people Eric 
enjoy, certain, I'm trying to 

372
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,700
figure out how to say this 
without like, getting it will 

373
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:25,000
just put it in closer reading. 
Yeah, it's right. 

374
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,800
So over episode of this, for 
sure, it's for like dick cage 

375
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,400
stuff in the safe. 
Oh, yeah. 

376
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,000
Or for like, yeah, for like, 
predicament bondage or stuff 

377
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,300
like that. 
But we did that well. 

378
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:36,900
Now with it. 
Well, we did with a collar. 

379
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,800
I think once it was worried, I 
had to call it. 

380
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:41,600
We do. 
There's a while ago, this was 

381
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,900
like, I don't even remember a 
year and a half ago, I think it 

382
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:48,700
was because I was I think it was
when you're in California with 

383
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:52,400
me and then you were leaving and
I was like sad and so I was like

384
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,700
you know you I put the collar on
to like remind me of you and 

385
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,700
that's how you know whatever but
then you were like, it was the 

386
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,100
one with like the lock on and 
you were like you can't. 

387
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,600
You're like it's unethical for 
me to like actually lock you in 

388
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800
a second like take like 
obviously I can't do that. 

389
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
She's like however what if I 
hide the key? 

390
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600
I know those really smart. 
I do I bet you, I don't know if 

391
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,300
you like five on the spot but 
you're like a hide the key and 

392
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:17,800
that way when I need to get out 
of it when you're like I'm going

393
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,600
to shower or whatever you can 
but you have to call me like so 

394
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,800
then I'll know if you took it 
off. 

395
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,400
You know Kink is a weird life. 
Everybody, if you're living this

396
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,000
podcast, you're probably okay 
with it. 

397
00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:30,700
Anyways, I thought that was 
cool. 

398
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Yeah safes. 
Yeah, I think that'd be cool 

399
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800
like a little, it's like a slot 
machine. 

400
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,300
Yeah, that some conditions have 
to be met to be able to like 

401
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,900
pull it. 
And those conditions are like 

402
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,100
task-based. 
Yeah, the like it's a way of 

403
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:45,200
gamifying. 
Tasks. 

404
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400
But if it was just a certain 
time, it's like half to do the 

405
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,900
thing before you put, like, how 
do you proud of the machine know

406
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:53,100
that the kitchen is clean? 
Like you could have somebody 

407
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,400
else like the Arbiter, like, you
know, if it was me like you 

408
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,800
could, well I think that's it or
something. 

409
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,800
When I mean, that's that's like 
the real problem with being 

410
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,400
self-aware and needing external 
motivation like when you 

411
00:20:08,408 --> 00:20:10,600
struggle with like just doing it
for the sake, of doing it, 

412
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,800
because it's like, there's 
always a fuck it out. 

413
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:14,800
Yeah. 
There's no you know I mean and 

414
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,700
it's Honestly, not to make this 
like a king episode because I 

415
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:20,700
know we explicitly like let's 
not talk about cake. 

416
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:21,800
But like yeah. 
Here we are. 

417
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,600
But it's like I but it's the 
same thing for like a lot of 

418
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,400
like relationship Dynamics. 
It's like I know that I don't 

419
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:34,100
have to so like why you know, 
like why why would I fucking 

420
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,600
bother? 
You know, what do you have to 

421
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,300
what look like, you know in like
in like a like, you know, 

422
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,400
submissive position. 
It's like I don't have to. 

423
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,000
Oh yeah. 
And I'm not like a make me 

424
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:47,100
person. 
I'm not like I brought in that 

425
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:50,400
way and not like a make me brat 
because I'm like, okay, you know

426
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,200
what I mean? 
Yeah. 

427
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,900
And there's always that s like 
it's the eye watching. 

428
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,600
I watching I watching I yeah 
because it just like it just 

429
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,000
like but that's like what it 
like motivation has always been 

430
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,800
like for me, it's like they're 
like oh you can have a piece of 

431
00:21:01,808 --> 00:21:03,800
candy. 
Well, I can't, yeah, but I could

432
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800
just I'm an adult. 
I could just go walk and take 

433
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,500
the piece of candy and so it's 
like figuring out how to like 

434
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:14,100
Not overthink that like middle 
part of. 

435
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,400
I'm just really just do it just 
talking, you know, clean the 

436
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:18,600
room or whatever and get the 
basic handy but instead I'm like

437
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,900
well I could just go buy candy. 
Yeah, I could fly to Paris right

438
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,500
now and get a piece of candy, 
like I could literally do 

439
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:27,000
whatever, you know what I mean? 
Like. 

440
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,900
And so it's just, I don't know. 
I get I, that's one of my 

441
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:31,900
biggest things is just 
motivation because it's like, I 

442
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:35,700
have to be motivated, but I 
talked myself out of being 

443
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,900
motivated because I think it's 
embarrassing to need to be 

444
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,600
motivated to do stuff. 
Huh. 

445
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,300
There's sorry I'm going to 
Crossroads here. 

446
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:45,800
I'm like, I could either just 
bring up what I was going to 

447
00:21:45,808 --> 00:21:46,800
bring up? 
Where I couldn't. 

448
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,000
I'm sorry, I keep like, tell 
them every oh no sweetie. 

449
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,100
No, of course not. 
Yes, good. 

450
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:59,800
Yeah, I think something I have a
constantly wrestle with for 

451
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,900
reasons that I could like 
probably talk to my fucking 

452
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:07,000
therapist about its really How 
do I say this? 

453
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:09,900
I used to take great pride in 
thinking about stuff. 

454
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:11,900
I still do but I used to take 
great pride in it. 

455
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:14,600
Like in a, I'm better than you 
weigh, you know? 

456
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,500
Like when I was like a teenager 
and so I always thought thinking

457
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:21,000
about something, it's always 
better to think about something 

458
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,800
more because I was, you know, 
was an arrogant 

459
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,700
fourteen-year-old. 
It's like wanted to feel like I 

460
00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:32,300
was better than nobody else but 
as I've like gotten older, I've 

461
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:37,400
realized more and more that 
sometimes The answer is to think

462
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800
about something less it's or not
at all. 

463
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Sometimes, just don't think 
about it. 

464
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,500
Like it's not, it's not useful 
to think about it and I think 

465
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:49,600
sometimes like wolf an example 
is like, alright, I get the 

466
00:22:49,608 --> 00:22:51,300
piece of chocolate after I clean
the room. 

467
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:54,200
Well, I know that there's 
nothing stopping me from just 

468
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,900
grabbing the chocolate like, and
if I, the more, I think about 

469
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:59,000
it. 
I could easily think myself into

470
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,100
just taking the fucking 
chocolate. 

471
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:03,600
Anybody could, if you just sit 
there and think about it and go 

472
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,500
like, oh well, I actually I 
think be more motivated. 

473
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:09,600
If I had a little piece of 
chocolate now and then I 

474
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:11,400
introduced you need to see the 
whole it whatever. 

475
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,700
Like you can think yourself into
any sort of behavior and so 

476
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:16,200
sometimes the answer is thinking
about it. 

477
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,300
Last deciding what you're going 
to do, like, I'm gonna need to 

478
00:23:19,308 --> 00:23:22,100
talk about everything the room 
and then stop thinking about it 

479
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,000
like that is resolved. 
Like that's what it is. 

480
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:25,600
I'm not saying that. 
I don't want to say that from 

481
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,300
like a position of I'm great at 
that. 

482
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:32,700
I'm not but I think it feels 
impossible to me like I'm such 

483
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,400
an over-thinker and like, I just
constantly Self analysis of the 

484
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,800
analysis of the analysis. 
The like, you know, so like for 

485
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,600
me what I've actually found is 
like especially for like tasks 

486
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:49,700
is less about the reward and 
more about like gamification in 

487
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:53,900
the moment so it'll be like Oh 
I'm going to put on music and 

488
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,800
I'll just unload the dishwasher 
for as long as the song and then

489
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,400
I can be done you know, and most
of the time it's like if I get 

490
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,000
going and I'm like, okay, I've 3
minutes and 30 seconds to 

491
00:24:02,008 --> 00:24:04,700
unload, the dishwasher will be 
half done and I'm like, well, I 

492
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:05,900
might as well. 
See the rest of it, you know 

493
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:07,700
what I mean? 
Like, that kind of thing but 

494
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:11,100
that for me works better than 
like, oh, but at the end, I get 

495
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:14,300
a piece of chocolate. 
And so, I think that's one of 

496
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:19,800
the ways that I've sort of like,
Discovered that like because I 

497
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,200
tend to overthink and I like 
what like think myself out of 

498
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,100
being motivated, that just 
deciding like on a thing like 

499
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,500
that, or I'm going to set the 
timer for 15 minutes or like 

500
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,000
whatever is you can't cheat 
that. 

501
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,400
Like it's just like, you know, I
mean and you can talk yourself 

502
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,100
out of that like oh well I did 
you know, 10 minutes and that's 

503
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,300
good enough for, you know, like 
stuff like that. 

504
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:40,600
But even that is still like 
that's still 10 minutes of 

505
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,300
cleaning that you wouldn't have 
done before. 

506
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,700
But so like that to me, helps a 
lot is just Like gamification or

507
00:24:47,708 --> 00:24:51,000
like, how many things can I pick
up in this room right now? 

508
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,600
And like, you know, just like 
little mini sort of games that 

509
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,900
like you just play with 
yourself? 

510
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,900
Like, you know, find all the 
garbage on the floor before the 

511
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,500
song ends or whatever. 
Like the only way to answer that

512
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,900
question of can I pick up all 
the garbage on the floor before 

513
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:04,700
the song ends? 
The only way to answer that 

514
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,000
question is to try. 
Yeah and to do that like you 

515
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,300
can't eat the chocolate book 
just before it cleanly. 

516
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,700
You know you can't go around 
that the only way to get the 

517
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,800
satisfaction of answering the 
question of, can I do this 

518
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,400
before the song ends is to try? 
Yeah. 

519
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:20,600
Yeah, that works for me, too. 
I've also noticed when I was a 

520
00:25:20,608 --> 00:25:24,500
kid, I used to walk home from 
sixth grade and I would listen 

521
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:28,400
to music because iPads were like
just coming out. 

522
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,100
I think I don't even know if 
they were, I don't cares. 

523
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,600
But and I was like sometimes I 
would like to walk home. 

524
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,700
Sometimes I would read it and 
some to try to like on the days 

525
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:41,800
when I was dreading it and like 
fuck. 

526
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,000
I have to walk all the way home 
to make the trip feel shorter. 

527
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,900
I would pick a song that I 
didn't know if it would finish 

528
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:52,600
before I got home. 
You know? 

529
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,900
I mean so like it's all pick a 
song that's like a such 

530
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:58,800
adoration such that. 
Like I'm not quite sure if I can

531
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,700
get home before the song ends or
yeah. 

532
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:05,800
Before the song ends. 
So then I'm like oh shit I'm 

533
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,000
short on time like it forced my 
brain to think of there's a 

534
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,500
longer thing happening. 
This is the shorter thing or the

535
00:26:12,508 --> 00:26:14,000
thing that we're trying to make 
sure, you know. 

536
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,900
Yeah so it forced myself to 
think we're like on a car When 

537
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,100
you say like we don't have 
enough time to watch The Lord of

538
00:26:19,108 --> 00:26:22,300
the Rings, like that makes it 
feel shorter. 

539
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,300
So like a lot, anytime I can do 
that type of thing with a task 

540
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:28,900
is great. 
So like how you know can I do is

541
00:26:28,900 --> 00:26:31,800
before the song, it's then it's 
like then it becomes like God if

542
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800
you do this for five whole 
minutes, it's like I only have 

543
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,300
five minutes, you know, turn it,
just flips it in my head, which 

544
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,600
is funny, which reminds me of, 
like, how simple our brains can 

545
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,400
be. 
I mean, they're obviously really

546
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,000
complicated, but for all like 
the over thinking, like, oh, I 

547
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,400
can just like be like, hey, Eric
I bet you? 

548
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:47,700
Can't do this five minutes? 
No. 

549
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:49,900
Would you do kid? 
No no man. 

550
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:51,200
Like oh wow. 
It was that simple. 

551
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,000
Like okay, that's I'm an ape 
chance. 

552
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,700
Righteous were bored. 
Exactly. 

553
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,000
I like I want to make like a 
YouTube series that's just like 

554
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,700
a series of like weird time 
incremental like cleaning 

555
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:07,900
challenges like put on like Hall
of the Mountain King and then be

556
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,800
like find all the trash in your 
room go. 

557
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:12,800
That's it. 
That's the whole video. 

558
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,600
That's pretty cool. 
Yeah, it's like are going great,

559
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:22,300
TM TM, TM TM TM TM fine fine 
look I know it's a good one. 

560
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,100
I think that's why that like the
the timer thing where it's like 

561
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,500
I what's the smallest amount of 
time you can force yourself to 

562
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:32,400
do a thing for That really 
works. 

563
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,500
I feel like in the opposite way.
We're like, I'm trying to see 

564
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,200
how long it can be, you know. 
Like I bet I could, I bet I 

565
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,600
could do two minutes, you know, 
or whatever, but by making it 

566
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,700
deliberately easy, you know, 
being like 30 seconds, you know,

567
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,200
then you crush it, then you get,
you get a win immediately. 

568
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,800
Like, fuck it. 
I did it for 30 seconds and then

569
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,100
you get another, and then, then 
you've eaten the ham, then 

570
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:51,700
you're like, ooh, hams good. 
And then you're like, all right,

571
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:53,600
I'll do another 30 seconds and 
then you do and you're like, 

572
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,200
fuck. 
Yeah. 

573
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,800
I fucking got a piece of ham, 
you know? 

574
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,000
And you're just so rather than a
bunch of time, it's just stacks 

575
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,700
of 30 seconds at the end of each
one. 

576
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,400
One, you can. 
And at the end of each one at 

577
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,000
the end of which you could stop 
you. 

578
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,600
Yeah. 
Is that this, the why you would 

579
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,100
say that? 
Yeah, I mean I'm I know what 

580
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:10,400
you're trying to say. 
Yeah. 

581
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,300
Yeah, yeah. 
That also helps tends to tends 

582
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:16,600
to work for me and it's like, 
yeah, game ball game advisor. 

583
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,900
Yeah. 
I also like the playlist idea. 

584
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,500
Yeah, that's a really good one. 
I just thinking of like what? 

585
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,700
Like now I want to like put 
together a playlist and it will 

586
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,500
wake. 
What kind of what kind of songs 

587
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:28,800
do you think? 
Well, because that's, the thing 

588
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,500
is, like, because I want it to 
be like, you know, I'm thinking 

589
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,800
is like a content creator 
because I would like, put like I

590
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,900
would put like hyper specific 
music on it, you know, but then 

591
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,300
it's like, I don't know if 
people would be like, ah, fuck, 

592
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:43,800
yeah. 
Else's processional to the 

593
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,800
chapel like, hmm. 
Let's go. 

594
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,300
You know, like I feel like you 
need to just On some like Taylor

595
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:53,900
Swift and call it a day. 
Well, hang in restaurant 

596
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:57,200
Benchmark that I was working in 
is really small restaurant. 

597
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Really small crows, like, 
usually just like three people 

598
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,800
in the kitchen, the time and are
like, all right, it's like an 

599
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,100
hour and a half before service. 
We're all like, making sure 

600
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,900
we're fucking good. 
We have like our height playlist

601
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:10,300
which was full of music that I 
never thought I would listen to 

602
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:12,000
and much less. 
A never thought I would enjoy, 

603
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,100
but it was just like all I do is
win, win win, no matter what, it

604
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:17,800
was just the most like 
high-energy. 

605
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,900
I'm the Shit, like I'm the 
fucking bat. 

606
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:23,700
It just all the songs that are 
about like, how awesome you are.

607
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:26,300
Just play those and fucking 
work, dude. 

608
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:29,600
Like it's just it's really hard 
to like I don't know. 

609
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,600
Not be like going when it's like
when we went and in that song 

610
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,500
they go everybody's hands go up.
And when we would do that, no 

611
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:39,300
matter what we were doing, we 
all put our hands up and it was 

612
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:41,600
really funny to watch like my 
chef who was kind of like a 

613
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,900
quiet guy, could be kind of 
emergency, sometimes like you 

614
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:47,000
would be hunched over like, you 
know, breaking down a fish or 

615
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,700
something and all of a sudden he
would just Let's go over here. 

616
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:54,600
Put his hands up and it's like, 
well, that is nice. 

617
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,200
The conference playlist 
confidence. 

618
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:57,800
I like that. 
Yeah, maybe that maybe. 

619
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,700
That's what I'll do. 
I'll make a Spotify playlist and

620
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:02,900
well, yeah, we make it public. 
Yeah, we frankly. 

621
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:04,800
Don't cool time. 
Oh, yeah, playlist. 

622
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,100
What's a, how do we have a 
status on this dog's hair cut 

623
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,700
situation? 
I figured she's probably so 

624
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:14,200
excited to see her face. 
No, she's gonna have such weeks.

625
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,500
We told him to cut. 
Oh I've heard you really never 

626
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:18,000
know. 
So we ended up deciding to get 

627
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,700
Bailey A shorter haircut. 
Yeah. 

628
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:23,700
Is what that's the what I meant 
to say in the beginning because 

629
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,600
it'd be more comfortable for her
given. 

630
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,000
What? 
You know she likes to just rub 

631
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
her face in the ground all the 
time and so I think it'd be more

632
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,500
comfortable for her but she, 
we're gonna be able to see so 

633
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:34,000
many more little facial 
expressions. 

634
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,100
She's got a little facial 
eyebrows. 

635
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,600
Yeah, dogs have eyebrows bad. 
But no, they have not yet text 

636
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,800
us, we don't have a 1. 
So 1 to 2, 2, to 3, 3 to 4. 

637
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,300
So we should probably get it and
like 10, 15 minutes or so 

638
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,100
usually takes about three hours 
chandan. 

639
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,000
That sounds great. 
How do you add? 

640
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,400
Hey, very cold dude, it's the 
holiday season did. 

641
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:55,600
Oh, yeah. 
And you know what the holiday 

642
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,000

Nope, it's the season of giving 

643
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,700

Oh yeah, yeah. 

644
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:06,100
What do we? 
How do we open this package? 

645
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,200
No, I've been, that was one of 
those births where I was like, I

646
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,400
couldn't say any more words. 
It was could have powered throws

647
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,200
but I'm sorry. 
It's okay. 

648
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,200
