• reactions to the Michael Jackson movie and why it hits emotionally

• planning problems disguised as discipline problems 
• “busy” as disorganization and the case for writing things down 
• overconsumption as procrastination and needing fewer options 
• “treat yourself” spirals with snacks and shopping 
• hobbies as consumption vs creation and the guilt loop 
• environment design and why mess kills momentum 
• honesty vs validation and how we actually want feedback

Gymnastics Weekend And MJ Movie

SPEAKER_01 3:12

I do have highlights. Last weekend my daughter had gymnastics competition and it was fun to watch. And then we went to the mall and we hung out there.

SPEAKER_05 3:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

Yeah. Afterwards.

SPEAKER_05 3:28

Yeah, and also we watched a movie at cinema.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

We did on Monday.

SPEAKER_05 3:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Tuesday.

SPEAKER_05 3:35

Yeah. One day.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

One of those days we watched a movie at the cinemas. We watched the Michael Jackson movie. Um, what did you think about it? Without giving too much away.

SPEAKER_05 3:46

Okay, yeah, I really I I really liked it. I felt like time just flew by, and that's a good good sign.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

It was two hours.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Yeah, it did not feel like two hours to me.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

I did feel like the ending might have been a little abrupt.

SPEAKER_05 4:03

Yeah. That was one of the cons. Yeah. Hopefully we'll get a sequel or like a continuation.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Yeah, that would be really cool. I don't think there's been a biopic with a second part.

SPEAKER_05 4:14

No.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

So that's really cool.

SPEAKER_05 4:16

Because it felt like it was hinting about that.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

Yeah. I've heard I've I've seen other hints towards um a sequel on the social medias as well.

SPEAKER_05 4:28

That's cool. Yeah, I would definitely want to see that too.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:32

Yeah, I I really liked the first mm, this one. The first one. Well, it does very well at the box office, so I'm I'm pretty sure they're gonna find a way to make another one.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:44

Uh yeah. So what did you think?

SPEAKER_01 4:47

I really liked it. I enjoyed the whole thing. Uh it did make me cry. Yeah. Yes. I got a little sentimental during one of the parts. Yeah, okay. The beginning was really sad.

SPEAKER_05 5:01

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:03

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

It it really makes you like uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_05 5:06

Oh yeah. Uh it was uh it one scene was really it really had the feelings. I I don't know, w it felt so um I don't know, i it als almost uh like nauseating, like yeah. Like it was nauseous or something. And uh I yeah, i I don't know. It it was really uh yeah, you really it was strong, yeah, it was powerful.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Yeah. But I really liked it and enjoyed it a lot. And then I went to work after.

SPEAKER_05 5:36

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

So you know, pros and cons.

SPEAKER_05 5:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Um yeah, then that was that was the highlight for this week, I think.

SPEAKER_05 5:45

I think so too.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

Yeah, and uh today is May 1st. It's May now. Maybe somehow it turned into May.

SPEAKER_05 5:55

Yeah, it sure is May out here.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Yeah. And it is Friday.

SPEAKER_05 6:00

What?

SPEAKER_01 6:01

It is Friday.

SPEAKER_05 6:02

Yeah. Oh. I thought you said, Man, is it Friday?

SPEAKER_01 6:07

That's it.

SPEAKER_05 6:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

And we watch movies.

SPEAKER_05 6:10

We did.

Rocky IV Review And 80s Vibes

SPEAKER_01 6:11

Would you like to move beyond?

SPEAKER_05 6:12

Let's move beyond.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

Okay, so today we watched Rocky Four and that other movie that we watched.

SPEAKER_05 6:19

Just go with it.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Just go with it. Right. But we started with Rocky Four.

SPEAKER_05 6:24

We did.

SPEAKER_01 6:25

Because my oldest was with us, and I've been trying to convince him for like many weeks now to watch Rocky with me, and he's been like, no. Um, but today I got him to watch with us.

SPEAKER_04 6:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:40

Uh so we watched that first. Yeah. And Rocky IV is a movie with Stallone. And Dolph Lungren is in this movie.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

And basically what happens is Stallone wants revenge because Dolph Lungren killed his friend. Yeah. And that's what happened. Yeah. Uh what do you think about this movie? I think I know your thoughts, but go ahead and tell the other people.

SPEAKER_05 7:04

Yeah, well, I guess you can tell.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

I don't want to tell your thoughts. You tell your thoughts.

SPEAKER_05 7:08

Okay. I think this is the best Rocky movie ever so far. Uh and um yeah, I I really like the uh, you know, I mean, sure, it's a basic story, and uh, you know, uh someone gets killed and they're gonna get revenge and everything. But I really like the music, uh, the 80s vibe, the the robot. There is a robot. Yeah. And uh yeah, I I I don't know. I I just really like this one. Um it's uh it's the most 80s, and I really like that. What do you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_01 7:46

I also enjoyed the movie. It was Rocky.

SPEAKER_05 7:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

And uh he fought Dolph Longren.

SPEAKER_05 7:53

Yeah, who's a Russian in this one.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Who is Russian, apparently.

SPEAKER_05 7:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

On steroids. But he's not supposed to be on steroids.

SPEAKER_06 8:01

No.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

But he is anyway, because they don't care.

SPEAKER_06 8:04

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

And yeah, there is a robot.

SPEAKER_05 8:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

I did enjoy the movie.

SPEAKER_05 8:09

Yeah, I really like when the training montage shows how Rocky is doing everything in like the nature and uh Yeah, the natural way. Yeah, natural, and uh Dolph is like doing it more Mechanical, yeah, engineered.

SPEAKER_04 8:27

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:29

Yeah. I really like that one. Uh you know, the contrast between them. And it it's Dolph Lundgren's first big role, too. Oh, that's cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Yeah, he did look really young. Yeah. So yeah. Good, good, good.

SPEAKER_05 8:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Anything else?

SPEAKER_05 8:46

No.

Just Go With It Rom Com Talk

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Alright, you wanna continue with the next movie?

SPEAKER_05 8:49

Okay, just go with it. This movie uh is about Adam Sandler. Uh he's um playing a plastic surgeon, and uh he picks up girls with this uh ring, like a uh wedding ring that he never used because he got like left at the altar and everything. He meets a girl, he needs his assistant to play his wife so they can break up and get a divorce and everything, and it spirals from there. And uh the assistant is played by Jennifer Aniston, and it's like they have to do this improv the entire time with her kids also. So uh yeah, and then and they go to Hawaii. That's that's about it.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

Yeah, it's very similar to uh that other movie, the Africa one. Blended, blended, right?

SPEAKER_05 9:46

But this one was first, so okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Okay. So blended was like this movie. Yeah. Wait, what? This movie was first. Yeah. Okay, okay, yeah. Alright, alright.

SPEAKER_05 9:57

Yeah, um, so what did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_01 10:02

I like this movie a lot.

SPEAKER_05 10:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

It is a rom-com, which we're supposed to be watching apparently for some reason. Uh I was told that we needed to watch more rom-coms.

SPEAKER_05 10:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Well, here you go. Yeah. This is it.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

And it was really good. It was really funny. And I really like Jennifer Aniston.

SPEAKER_06 10:23

Yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_01 10:24

She is so cool. I don't uh she she just seems like so chill. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 10:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

I like her a lot. Okay. And was it Nicole Kidman?

SPEAKER_05 10:33

Yeah, it was. As well. Yeah. That one, when I saw this mm f in the first time, I'm like, they got Nicole Kidman?

SPEAKER_04 10:41

Yeah, like, what?

SPEAKER_05 10:42

Yeah, but okay. She she feels like she's on another level to like uh most of the other actors.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

But she's the perfect actress for that role. Yeah. She played that character so well.

SPEAKER_05 10:55

Yeah, but it's like she's uh probably Oscar nominated, maybe even one. I don't know. Yeah. It just feels like she wouldn't stoop down to that level to an Adam Sandler movie.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

Yeah. Well, it worked out very nicely.

SPEAKER_05 11:12

Respect.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 11:13

I also like the reference to Rocky Four.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

Yeah. Yeah, with Dolph Lungren.

SPEAKER_05 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

That was on purpose. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:23

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 11:24

Feel good about that one.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Good.

SPEAKER_05 11:27

I don't know. Uh is it do you have more to say about this movie?

SPEAKER_01 11:32

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 11:33

No. Do you? No, I don't think so either. Do you?

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Someone is knocking on the pipes or something.

SPEAKER_05 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

They might have something to say.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

You can even see.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Yeah. Alright, then let's take a break. Okay. We'll be right back.

So.

SPEAKER_05 12:14

This is us being very prepared for what we're gonna do right now.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

Always very prepared. Yeah. I know exactly what we're gonna do right now. Um so Yeah. Yeah. So far it's going well. Gosh, I was I feel like I was gonna say something and it just it went blank. I don't know what I was gonna say. But we don't really know what to talk about during this half.

SPEAKER_05 12:43

No, we we don't have any ideas at all.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

No. But let's see what open eyes has to say. Yeah. Open eyes is going to decide what we're gonna talk about today.

SPEAKER_05 12:54

Open eyes is our friend.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

Right. Okay. So I have a list of course.

SPEAKER_05 13:02

Of things to do or what?

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Um well, some things to discuss. To talk about. Uh some topics. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 13:10

I'm so this is a disgusting. No, this is so disgusting. Disgusting episode.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

This is a disgusting episode. Yeah, I think. Ooh, I've got quite the crack in my phone case. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:26

You want to discuss it?

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Yes, please.

SPEAKER_05 13:28

Yeah. Nasty cut. Crack.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Disgusting. Okay, so here's some hot takes. You know what that is? Yeah. A hot take?

SPEAKER_05 13:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

It's when you take something that's on.

SPEAKER_05 13:40

Yeah, like uh, you know, something off the stove.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:44

Like a frying pan.

SPEAKER_01 13:45

Right. It's um I've done that. We're not supposed to do that.

SPEAKER_05 13:51

No.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

It's uh opinions, I think.

SPEAKER_05 13:55

Yeah, like uh Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

I think controversial Yeah, controversial thing. Well, let's see what happens. I don't know. So my first one I'm gonna tell you, and then we're gonna discuss it. Okay. Okay. I want your opinion, and then I will tell you mine. Yes. Okay. Because I mean I was thinking at first, like, let's make this a Michael Jackson episode because it's so trendy right now.

SPEAKER_05 14:23

Yeah, we saw Michael.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

But um, well, that's controversial enough as it is.

SPEAKER_05 14:29

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

We don't need to add to that fire. Okay, so number one is motivation is useless without structure. People worship motivation, but it disappears the second things get uncomfortable. And systems win every time.

SPEAKER_05 14:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

So do you think that motivation can exist without structure? Uh let's go off of your uh life experience. Yeah. Have you felt like you could be motivated without setting up like rules for yourself?

SPEAKER_05 15:03

I don't know, maybe not actually. Because I it's the rules that they keep you in line. Yeah. When you have something to follow, then you be motivated.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Right. It keeps you from being bad.

SPEAKER_05 15:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

Yeah. Whatever you think. Right. Number two. Most people don't have a discipline problem, they have a planning problem. Because if your plan is vague, you're gonna fail, pretty much.

SPEAKER_05 15:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:35

If you say I'm gonna eat better or work out more, that's not a plan.

SPEAKER_05 15:40

No. No, I guess not.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

So you need a clear goal. Okay. So instead of I'm gonna lose weight, you need to say, I want to go down five kilos.

SPEAKER_05 15:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

Yeah, I feel like you need a specific number.

SPEAKER_05 15:54

Yeah, yeah. Uh you should have something to like strive for or like a a specific goal. A specific goal, and when you reach it, you move the goal. Yeah. So you can get further.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

Right.

SPEAKER_05 16:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

Yeah, no, I believe. I believe that's true.

SPEAKER_05 16:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

Number three. Busy people are often just disorganized people with better PR. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 16:20

You're a busy person.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

I am. Being overwhelmed isn't a flex. It usually means you're not prioritizing properly. Um. Right. So if you just say I'm busy all the time, this is saying that if you feel that way, then you're just disorganized.

SPEAKER_06 16:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

As a busy person, I I don't know. I don't know. Because I mean I can be busy and still be organized with my busy things. Yeah. The things that keep me busy.

SPEAKER_05 16:50

Yeah, I mean, it depends on how I mean if you have a lot of things to be busy with, then uh it's not about organization.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

Yeah, I think you can be busy and organized. You just have to make sure that you write down all the things when they come up. Okay. You know? Like, oh, my neighbor wants to uh go uh we want to go grill next weekend. You have to write that down so that you can put it in your schedule later.

SPEAKER_06 17:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

Or oh my daughter wants to do this. Or she needs something that's actually necessary, not just makeup or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 17:28

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

Uh but I think that's the the strongest point.

SPEAKER_05 17:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

If you're a busy person, you need to be writing your busy things down.

SPEAKER_05 17:37

Otherwise you forget. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

And it's so easy to forget when you have a lot going on.

SPEAKER_05 17:44

I mean, it's uh easy to forget even if you don't have a lot going on.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Right.

SPEAKER_05 17:49

For me. For my experience.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Right. Number four. You don't need more information, you need fewer options. Overconsumption is just procrastination in disguise.

SPEAKER_05 18:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

Hmm. Okay. So you don't need more information. You need fewer options. I mean, nobody likes too many options. I don't like too many options.

SPEAKER_05 18:15

No.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

But what are my options?

SPEAKER_05 18:17

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

And what is the information I'm getting? Overconsumption on podcast, TikTok, and other advice. It's just procrastination in disguise.

SPEAKER_06 18:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 18:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

Uh sure. I mean a hot take. I guess we're gonna go with it because oh.

SPEAKER_06 18:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

And sometimes you just have to say that to people. They just throw facts or whatever opinions at you and you just have to say, okay.

SPEAKER_05 18:42

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 18:45

Yeah, if you say so.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

I'm taking this in.

SPEAKER_05 18:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:47

And I'm gonna store it for another time.

SPEAKER_05 18:51

Yeah. Do do you often if someone has something to say and you disagree, do would you uh would you say anything or would you just say okay?

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Or I feel like we both do this to each other.

SPEAKER_05 19:08

Yeah, okay. Um But I mean we know each other well. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

So we know uh if it's like another person who Yeah, because I mean with you, if you say something and I disagree, I'm not gonna fight you. I'm just gonna be like, okay, you can think that. Yeah. It doesn't it doesn't I get no reward by arguing over stupid things. No. I don't have the energy. If it's another person and they say just say something stupid like um their opinion.

SPEAKER_05 19:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

Stupid.

SPEAKER_01 19:44

Something stupid like their opinion.

SPEAKER_06 19:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:47

Like, um, oh, I think mashed potatoes are super disgusting. I hate them, they're not good for you and everything.

SPEAKER_06 19:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

Like, okay, I do like mashed potatoes. I know they're probably not good for you. Fight me. Fight me. You know what? That's the straw. That's the last line. You know what? You crossed every boundary right now. We're done. I'm putting them up. Yeah. I'm putting my boxing gloves on and we're you're going down right now. And this is what I do on a daily basis, because I just start a fight with everyone I see who talks to me. Yeah. Everyone I who stops me in the store. It's like, you know what, you want to start something.

SPEAKER_05 20:29

And you always have your boxing gloves with these.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

I have like inflatable boxing gloves, so they can they fit perfectly in my pockets. Very convenient. Um now I have to think. Okay, if someone gives me their opinion, do I fight back? Do I bother? I'm I'm just gonna say no. Yeah. I I think I think after hanging out with you so long, yeah. When you just say, okay. Yeah, I think that's rubbed off on me too. Like, you know what? Okay. You're free to think that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't really care that much. No. You think what you want to think and uh you know what? Yeah, have fun with that. That's why you should always let other people speak before you so I can uh adjust my point of view or temporary point of view.

SPEAKER_04 21:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Ugh. Okay. Sure. We'll say that. I don't know where that came from, but sure. Number five. Treat yourself. Culture is why people stay stuck. Constant rewards without earned effort trains you to quit the second things get hard. Okay. Okay. Can I say? Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna go ahead and start.

SPEAKER_05 21:54

I'm just gonna say okay after Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

All right, then we can move on. You already agree with it, whatever I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_05 22:03

Yeah. I don't care what you're gonna say.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Okay, number six. Maybe the other people care about what I have to do. Okay, okay, okay. For their sake, our third wheel here, who is listening and totally uh eavesdropping on our conversation.

SPEAKER_05 22:18

Yeah, exactly. Creepy.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

For all the people listening to my conversation right now.

SPEAKER_05 22:24

Yeah, for all the creeps.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

All the creeps out there. You want my opinion? Okay, so treat yourself has to be taken with a pinch of salt, I think.

SPEAKER_04 22:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Because um I think you need to be really controlled to make sure that you don't spiral out of control. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like you we did have like big snacks for movie nights every week. Yeah before. Before. No, now. No, no, no, no, no. But before we had very big snacks. And it was it it felt like every week it was like, oh, treat yourself.

SPEAKER_06 23:03

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:03

And then and then we'd feel feel terrible. But then like spiral out of control after that. Like, oh well, I already ate all of this, so I might as well just keep going because it's not gonna get better.

SPEAKER_05 23:16

No, so make it worse.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Right.

SPEAKER_05 23:21

Getting better, make it worse.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Yeah. And then I mean it's not just food, but it can be for shopping as well. If you see something you like at the store, you're like, oh well, you know, I'm gonna treat myself to this thing. And then you go to the next store. I'm thinking like going to the mall. It's like, oh, I deserve this. I'm gonna get this. It was really expensive. It was probably a bit too pricey for me, but I deserve this. And then you go to the next store and be like, you know what? I like that thing too. I deserve this. I I've been good. Yeah, I I earned good money this month.

SPEAKER_05 23:56

And it's just a one-time thing.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

It's just once.

SPEAKER_05 23:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

And then the next one, it's just one thing for me. Yeah. And I'm only getting I'm only gonna get one thing for me. Yeah. And then you've been to like 10 stores and you've got ten things that you totally deserve.

SPEAKER_05 24:11

It's just one day.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

Yeah. I mean, it's just one day of shopping. I mean, I'll I'll do better next next tomorrow when I have no money. I mean, you get a lot more disciplined when you have no money.

SPEAKER_05 24:25

Yeah, exactly. The lack of money disciplines here.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

Yeah. That's good. So I think uh to sum that one up is to uh uh spend all of your money. Yeah, and then you won't have money to spend later to make bad decisions with.

SPEAKER_05 24:43

We're solved your lives.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_05 24:46

Creeps.

Treat Yourself And Content Consumption

SPEAKER_01 24:49

Eavesdroppers. Number six. Most hobbies today are just consumption, not creation. So if scrolling and watching TV and stuff that's a hobby. That if that's your hobby, it's not productive. It's not productive.

SPEAKER_05 25:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

You're not doing anything. It's just consumption, not creation. So what are you supposed to create while you're consuming? I'm really confused. I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm reading.

SPEAKER_05 25:19

I guess I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

It says scrolling, watching, and researching. It feels productive, but it produces nothing. But I think that's the main hobby nowadays is consuming content.

SPEAKER_05 25:33

Yeah. I mean, I can't say anything against it because I've That would make you a hypocrite. Yeah. Yeah, because I mean consuming content, that's what I always been doing, even before the internet thing. Cause I've been watching movies. That's my life, and that's content.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

That's big content.

SPEAKER_05 25:54

Yeah, long content.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

Long content. Long content.

SPEAKER_05 25:58

Long content.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

Long contum.

unknown 26:00

Hight.

SPEAKER_01 26:03

Uh yeah, okay. So So that hot take was basically that everyone's hobby is consuming things.

SPEAKER_06 26:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

And not creating anything. Uh which I'm gonna say half. Half and half. Yeah. Because I do agree that most people enjoy consuming content.

SPEAKER_06 26:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

But some people are still creating like arts, crafts, and uh sewing and stuff.

SPEAKER_05 26:35

Yeah. I mean, in a way, um uh I create things too.

SPEAKER_01 26:40

Content.

SPEAKER_05 26:41

Content. Content and you know, watching content uh inspires you to create other things, maybe. So in a way, maybe I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Well, I think that my hobby is to consume all of these things and say it's research and inspiration for things that I will definitely do later, but I never do it.

SPEAKER_06 27:03

No, okay.

SPEAKER_01 27:04

So that is oh another one of my hobbies is shopping online and just like throwing a whole bunch of things in my cart and then closing the tab.

SPEAKER_05 27:13

Why would you do that?

SPEAKER_01 27:15

I just wanted to see how much it would cost. I wasn't actually gonna buy anything.

SPEAKER_05 27:22

I I feel like that would be so mean to yourself. Stop being so mean to yourself.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

Well, I mean, the the idea of possibly buying the things, it felt good. Okay, yeah. And then I came to realization that you don't have any money. Exactly. I have no money to spend anymore.

SPEAKER_05 27:42

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:43

So I just close the door one day. Because of the one day I went into actual stores and spent way too much money. Yeah. Um, right.

SPEAKER_06 27:52

Okay.

Environment Honesty And Exercise Check In

SPEAKER_01 27:53

All right. Number seven. If your environment sucks, your willpower doesn't matter. Huh? You can't outdiscipline a bad setup. Fix your surroundings or stay stuck. Clean your house, people.

SPEAKER_05 28:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:06

I feel like clean your environment.

SPEAKER_05 28:08

I feel like that's uh the opposite to uh opposite to Rocky though. Because he he started like very low, yeah, in a bad neighborhood and everything, and worked his way up from that. And I feel like a lot of people may might have done that.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

I don't know. Maybe.

SPEAKER_05 28:29

Maybe not always, but not all people do that. There's probably more failures than it's like.

SPEAKER_01 28:36

But I think I think I think that's that's basically what this is saying, though. Okay. Because Rocky didn't fully enjoy the life he was living. So he worked hard to get out of it.

SPEAKER_04 28:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

Right? So if you don't like your living situation right now, you you can only get out of it with hard work.

SPEAKER_05 28:57

Yeah, okay. But he could also have stayed there even when he was rich.

SPEAKER_01 29:01

Yeah, sure. Then he'd have more money left over.

SPEAKER_05 29:05

Yeah, exactly. So maybe.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

But he really just wanted the first house he saw.

SPEAKER_05 29:10

Yeah, maybe that would have been wise though.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Maybe. Anyway, let's let's keep going.

SPEAKER_05 29:16

Okay, clean your house.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

Clean your house, people.

SPEAKER_05 29:19

Creeps.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

Nobody likes dirty house, and it it's really unmotivating when you have a messy house. Yeah. When you have a messy environment. And then and then you get overwhelmed.

SPEAKER_04 29:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Because it's just there's so much to do. And I don't know where to start. So I'm just gonna sit and not do anything.

SPEAKER_05 29:40

No, exactly. And just you know, it feels like you're kind of building the the dirt more. It's gonna be even dirtier if you're gonna be. Dirt castles.

SPEAKER_01 29:54

Dirt castles. This is my dirt castle.

SPEAKER_05 29:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

Number eight.

SPEAKER_06 29:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

People don't actually want honesty, they want validation. People ask for feedback, then get defensive when it's real.

SPEAKER_05 30:08

Okay. I feel like uh a lot of people are talking about how they want people to be honest with them.

SPEAKER_01 30:15

Right.

SPEAKER_05 30:16

And uh when they are, it's not the purpose.

SPEAKER_01 30:20

It's not good.

SPEAKER_05 30:20

No.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

Yeah, so I usually will ask someone, yeah, do I look okay? Like, is this appropriate to go outside into public?

SPEAKER_05 30:33

Most people would probably say yes even if they didn't think so.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

And some people just say, yeah, sure, and don't even give an opinion.

SPEAKER_05 30:41

But uh I just want people, you know, to like me and tell me that I'm doing well. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

You look fine.

SPEAKER_05 30:51

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_05 30:53

Yeah, and you actually mean it.

SPEAKER_01 30:54

I do.

SPEAKER_05 30:55

Yeah, of course. Good.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:57

That's what I want.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:59

And uh that they mean it.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

I mean it.

SPEAKER_05 31:02

Yeah, good.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

I'm getting defensive here. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 31:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 31:08

Hmm. How the tables have turned.

SPEAKER_01 31:12

I mean, I I trust my daughter to uh be honest with me. Because I most mornings I will go into her room and be like, do I look okay? Like, does this outfit work? Like, can I and then you know, I was asking about my my shirt. Should I tuck it in? Should I have it out? Like, how do I do this without looking like a mess? And you don't know ever. But my daughter will answer me. Yeah. Honestly.

SPEAKER_05 31:41

Here's my from my perspective. I don't trust my judgment.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 31:47

I don't know what's good and not good.

SPEAKER_01 31:50

Is it because you're colorblind?

SPEAKER_05 31:51

It's because um I don't I don't know what's uh what's uh how things are supposed to be.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

I remember what I was gonna say. Okay. I'm sorry, I interrupted you, but I remembered.

SPEAKER_05 32:04

Because you don't like me?

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Because I don't care about what you're saying.

SPEAKER_05 32:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

I have to be honest.

SPEAKER_05 32:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

Or do you want validation? Yeah, sure. Keep talking.

SPEAKER_05 32:12

I I want you to be honest and like me. Both. All of them. That's all of the two.

SPEAKER_01 32:19

All of the two?

SPEAKER_05 32:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:20

That's a lot you are asking of me. Yeah. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05 32:25

Okay. You you decide.

SPEAKER_01 32:26

Okay. Speaking of honesty and motivation and environment and hobbies and everything that we've been talking about.

SPEAKER_05 32:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:37

Last week, I should probably take this later, but I'm gonna bring it up before I forget about it.

SPEAKER_06 32:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Last week I challenged you to do exercises, yeah. Lazy exercises, at least once per day for a week.

SPEAKER_05 32:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

How has it gone?

SPEAKER_05 32:53

It's gone fairly well. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

How many days did you skip and or forget?

SPEAKER_05 32:58

I forgot yesterday. Yeah, t uh two days. Two days. But I made up for it the day after and made two sets. Okay. Whips. Sets. Whips? Rips.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

Okay. Rips. Rips. Rips. No, uh We also went for a really long walk today.

SPEAKER_05 33:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

So I guess that's okay.

SPEAKER_06 33:18

Yeah.

Starting Over Identity And Consistency

SPEAKER_01 33:19

That's your that's your resting day. Is your active resting day. Okay. So you did your walk. Your yeah. For your rocky rocky walk. Rocky walkie. Um. Okay, so that was that update. Okay. I'm gonna continue. After the the words from our sponsors, the challenge. Yeah. Number nine. We're almost done anyway. Starting over is a skill, and most people are terrible at it. Yes. Okay. One bad day turns into a bad week because people don't know how to reset quickly. And this is what I have been dealing with for uh a few months now.

SPEAKER_06 33:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:00

I do the the spiraling. It's like one day goes bad, and then the rest of the week goes bad.

SPEAKER_06 34:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Or worse. And then I keep trying to like when I realize like this is not good. No. Then I have to restart.

SPEAKER_06 34:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:16

And then it only lasts like being good only lasts like a week or two. Yeah. Mostly a week. And it's weekends that destroys me.

SPEAKER_05 34:25

Yeah. I I'm thinking about when we before when we l lost weight.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

We lost a lot of weight.

SPEAKER_05 34:32

Yeah, we did well.

SPEAKER_01 34:33

We did really good.

SPEAKER_05 34:34

Yeah. And now I can't lose weight anymore. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 34:38

It's really difficult.

SPEAKER_05 34:39

Yeah. It's uh I'm like, what did we do?

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Yeah. Like uh Yeah, I'm trying to like remember what exactly did we do.

SPEAKER_06 34:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:49

But I know that my mindset was not great.

SPEAKER_06 34:52

No.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

And I don't really want to go back to that. I mean, I'd like to have self-control and I'd like to have discipline, but I don't want it to go so far as to like it's ruining my life.

SPEAKER_04 35:06

No.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

You know? And like taking over everything.

SPEAKER_04 35:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

And so taking a different approach now with losing weight is take it one day at a time and don't panic.

SPEAKER_06 35:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

And just try to be as good as possible. And if you make like one mistake, like, oh, I had one ice cream or something, it's not a big deal. It was one ice cream. You might go up a bit, but it'll go away. It's just water.

SPEAKER_04 35:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:36

So then you just like continue your day like you usually would. You know? So pretty much or like almost the same kind of point of view, but like a lot more relaxed.

SPEAKER_06 35:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

So it is gonna take longer, but it's still the same.

SPEAKER_06 35:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Also, I'm not like super tracking my calories or macros anymore.

SPEAKER_06 36:00

No.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

Which is usually what when I do the best.

SPEAKER_06 36:04

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:05

But it's also a lot of like obsessing over numbers. And when I realize that I'm obsessing over numbers, then I get like kind of annoyed, and my brain goes into rebellion rebellious mode. Rebellion mode. Whatever. And it's like, no, I don't want to anymore. Like I don't I don't care.

SPEAKER_06 36:25

No.

SPEAKER_01 36:26

And so I I stop tracking. And so I I don't track now.

SPEAKER_06 36:30

No, okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:30

Because that's also a cycle I go through.

SPEAKER_05 36:33

Yeah, I feel but we're gonna start the gym.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

We're gonna right after this recording, we're going to buy gym cards together.

SPEAKER_06 36:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:44

I'm also gonna call my oldest. But anyway, um together. Together. Because I can't do that by myself. He's only my child.

SPEAKER_06 36:54

Yeah. I don't want to talk to him.

SPEAKER_01 36:56

Okay, so starting over is a skill. How do you feel you are at starting over? What are your cycles like?

SPEAKER_05 37:03

I mean, I'm terrible at it.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Your menstrual cycle.

SPEAKER_05 37:07

Oh yeah. Is what I'm talking about. Those are the worst.

SPEAKER_01 37:10

They're the worst.

SPEAKER_05 37:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:12

Okay, sorry. What were you saying?

SPEAKER_05 37:14

I'm terrible at starting over.

SPEAKER_01 37:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 37:17

And that uh I mean, that's what uh we were talking about.

SPEAKER_01 37:20

Right.

SPEAKER_05 37:21

That's the first thing that pops in my head, like the struggle with weight.

SPEAKER_01 37:26

Right. Okay. Then let's go to the last one.

SPEAKER_05 37:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 37:29

Number 10. Consistency is more about identity than effort. If you see yourself as someone who struggles, you'll keep proving it true. So how you identify yourself is how you're gonna continue living your life. You know what I mean? So, like if you keep saying, Oh well, I'm just a fat guy, yeah, then you're gonna continue living your life as a fat guy.

SPEAKER_04 37:51

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 37:53

You identify yourself as a fit guy. A fit guy. So then you're going to be a fit guy.

SPEAKER_04 38:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

Um if you say it's like it's all about how you see yourself. Cause like, and it doesn't even have to be true. But if you think of yourself like this, like I'm a funny person, I like to make people laugh, then you're probably gonna turn into a funny person. Okay, yeah. With some effort. Yeah. Given it's you know. And then yeah, you just you have to identify yourself as the person you want to be. Yeah. And then if you convince yourself you're that person, then you can become that person. Like I am uh I am a person who likes to work out and go to the gym.

SPEAKER_05 38:48

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:49

What?

SPEAKER_05 38:50

Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. I'm buff. Oh yeah. So yeah, and also a funny person.

SPEAKER_01 38:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:57

I'm also a funny person. I'm gonna person. I'm gonna go telling jokes at funerals and oh okay.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

At funerals. Why funerals?

SPEAKER_05 39:07

Because uh people are so sad? Yeah, they're they're not laughing when they're at a funeral. So I I wanna change that trend, you know?

SPEAKER_01 39:17

Yeah. Well, sometimes it works. Yeah. Because I mean I have I I have done that. Made jokes? I have made jokes at funerals uh in the worst ways.

SPEAKER_05 39:29

How did it go for you?

SPEAKER_01 39:30

Uh well, some people actually did laugh and some people like smack me in the arm. Like, that's terrible. Why would you say that?

SPEAKER_05 39:37

Yeah, because I I'm thinking like maybe I can even do like prop comedy with the body.

SPEAKER_01 39:42

No, no, the body's gone.

SPEAKER_05 39:44

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 39:45

There's no body. Why not? Because it's gone. Why lost it?

SPEAKER_05 39:50

They lost they lost the body at all the funerals.

SPEAKER_01 39:56

That's what they keep saying. They're like, I don't know. Where's the body?

SPEAKER_05 39:59

Oh I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 40:01

I don't know where the body is. You lost the body? I didn't lose the body. It wasn't me.

SPEAKER_05 40:05

There's usually a casket there.

SPEAKER_01 40:07

Yeah. Have you ever tried opening it?

SPEAKER_05 40:09

No, but that's what I'm gonna try to do when I'm gonna dance with the body.

SPEAKER_01 40:16

It's locked.

SPEAKER_05 40:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 40:17

You can't do that.

SPEAKER_05 40:18

Then I'm gonna knock.

SPEAKER_01 40:20

Hello.

SPEAKER_05 40:21

SPEAKER_01 40:22

I don't want to talk anymore. I don't want to talk about things we've gone through. Though it's hurting me. Now it's history. I play it all my car. And that's what you've done too. No.

SPEAKER_05 41:08

You you don't know you don't know the lyrics to say.

SPEAKER_01 41:11

No more ice to play. The winner's ice.

SPEAKER_05 41:16

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_01 41:17

But you hate musical podcast episodes.

SPEAKER_05 41:26

Oh yeah, we're gonna do that one.

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Yes. Okay. What about me? What about you? Is it me?

SPEAKER_05 41:45

That's ruining my life.

SPEAKER_01 41:47

It's the fact that I'm not being honest, or is it because I'm too honest? Both. Okay.

I want both, but both hurts my feelings.

Both of those hurts my feelings. Okay. Okay, no. What is your actual answer then?
