Introduction to TOQ
00:00:03
Speaker
Hello everyone. Do you ever find that there are a lot of Qs and As on the internet, but it's mostly a lot of unanswered Qs and not enough sufficient As? Well that's where we come in. Do you like hearing about how you can manage better relationships and life, love, and work?
00:00:18
Speaker
Do you like would you rather questions? Do you like hypothetical situations? Do you like laughing? Maybe crying? And do you like hearing lots of swear words? Then this show is definitely for you. Can we make you smile at least once during this show? You know what? That's our cue.
00:00:40
Speaker
All right, here we go.
Show Format with Guest Danny
00:00:41
Speaker
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to all of you out there in the universe. Welcome back to TOQ, or that's our queue, as we call it, where we take your queues and we put them in the oven for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. And when we open it back up, pull that pan out with our really cool, slick-ass oven mitts. There's little A's there, little answers that we give for you after processing them in the oven. And I have a very wonderful person who I've been excited to do the show with for a minute now.
00:01:08
Speaker
And his name is Danny. Danny, say hi, Danny. Hi, Danny. Nice. Danny, tell us a smidge about you and about what makes you feel like you deserve to be on That's Our Q.
00:01:18
Speaker
Oh, thank you so much for having me. First of all, I'm ready to give some tasty, tasty, freshly baked answers. Yeah. So what makes me me is just, I'm very into voice acting, very into video games, things of that nature, the whole nerd-dom. Play D or D. We met over Monsters of the Week. I know a whole bunch of useless facts, which I heard was, you know, par for the course for this. So it just felt like a good fit.
00:01:47
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I'm quite excited. I also feel like you and I mesh together quite well, considering we've only spoken like, I mean, through voice anyway, not only a few times, but I feel like we typically have a pretty good tat-tat-tat, as it were. Oh, absolutely. It's been a bromance from the start. I agree. It's weird, like how quickly that happened. There's one of those you just kind of feel like you knew them forever.
00:02:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's odd, but it works. You've had me at Super Mario frustration. Goomba, fuck you. Goomba. So, Danny, what we're going to do today, for those of you who are uninitiated, or maybe it's your first episode, is we are... That's the beauty of this show, is you can listen to any of them out of order. You don't need to know anything from the previous episodes if you don't want.
00:02:31
Speaker
The idea of this show, just like I said in the beginning, is we're going to take questions from the internet like Reddit and Quora and a few other little forum-esque websites. I curate them into maybe between four to six questions per episode. We just answer them because we're the experts now.
00:02:48
Speaker
a lot of them have never been answered or some of them haven't had very efficient answers or some of them i just don't think the answers were good enough so i thought maybe we. Could answer these questions in hopes that maybe somebody else out there has maybe thought of these things or you know maybe didn't know they were curious about it until they heard us talk about it so. Make a range from the very thoughtful types of questions to very surreal questions to just down right fucking weird questions and that's what we're doing today are you ready danny i'm also.
00:03:18
Speaker
Can I call you Danny? You can call me Danny.
Exploring the Infinite Cup
00:03:20
Speaker
Cool. All right. This first one doesn't have a username posted to it, but the question title is titled, you have the infinite cup. What do you do with it? And there's a little bit of an explanation here. And they say,
00:03:35
Speaker
This has nothing to do with the Infinity Gauntlet from Marvel. It's simple. Whatever you pour into it, it infinitely pours out. So the cup is a standard large size plastic cup similar to the Solo brand. If the cup is damaged, it will cease to work. If you put water, for example, in the cup, a solid uninterrupted stream of water will pour out if turned over. The water does not come from somewhere else. It is brought into the universe with no cost. It will pour at a rate of 9.8 milliliters per second.
00:04:02
Speaker
or whatever gravity would be. An object must fit completely inside to pour more of it out, but it could be solid items, ammunition, tacos, gold dust, tarantulas, et cetera.
00:04:19
Speaker
I know, this is a very long one, which is why I trimmed down the questions. To change out the item or the substance inside the cup, the tedious process requires removing what is ever inside while completely upright. You now have exactly one of these cups. What do you do with it? So my first thought, before I realized it could be anything, not just a liquid, first thought, Diet Coke. Diet Coke.
00:04:49
Speaker
I am one of those people that have a very awful addiction to soda.
00:04:58
Speaker
If I'm able to, if the opportunity is there, I will very easily drink a two-liter thing of soda in half a day. It's real bad. I have to consciously work on not just drowning myself in soda. So having that filled with Diet Coke is probably the worst thing I could do, but man, I'd go out happy.
00:05:23
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, yeah, no kidding. Like, yeah, that would be dangerous, because like. I would just have that thing constantly hanging over my mouth, just. Yeah, just have like I have like a like a gerbil straw, just like, you know, it's like. Oh, one of those beer hats. Oh, yeah, you get into a beer hat. Oh, my God. Yeah, like I would improve upon the Infinity Cup.
00:05:49
Speaker
I'm making it into an infinity hat. I'm making it into an infinity beer hat. Okay, so you said that before you knew it could be something other than a liquid, so did you have a different idea after you heard that? I mean, I feel like the obvious
00:06:09
Speaker
Answer is money. You put a dollar in and then you get infinite. Get a whole bunch of money out of it. I hadn't thought of that, actually. Maybe it's not so obvious. I didn't think of money at all, but you're right. Because you could do whatever you want. It actually would be easier if you do money because they say the only way to
00:06:32
Speaker
Change it out is to clean it out so if it's a solid that's way easier to just grab the dollars out and then put something else in and why would i ever want to do that. Right well i guess it depends like now hundreds i'm just gonna let that baby go.
00:06:46
Speaker
Right, but what I'm thinking is you put those hundos in there, you get probably a couple thousand of them that you're pouring out into your living room, right? And then you just take those hundos out of the cup, you know, because you have to clean it out completely. And then you pour a little bit of Diet Coke in there, you're back to Diet Coke. I'm back to Diet Coke, that's true. You know, you have all the money you could possibly need, but you never have to spend a dime of it on Diet Coke again. I do. Unless you wanted to clean it out. I do have to wonder, yeah, if I'm...
00:07:12
Speaker
Money is easy, right? Because again, it's a solid. I can just reach in, pull it out. Right. But with Diet Coke being a liquid, how am I going to clean all that? Like, do I have to then...
00:07:22
Speaker
Pour water in it and let that kind of drain to get the that remnants of diet coke out Yeah, like if you only have a little kids like well, the thing is it would always be full so like Hmm like you know what I mean? Like it would never get low Unless you kept it upright because you can't pour it out because the whole thing is if you pour it it's infinite So you would need I mean actually I
00:07:45
Speaker
You know what? I have to put it straight up, put a straw in it, and then drink it. Right. So the beer hat would have to be altered so that way the thing was in a tipped position because the only way you can clean it is if it's upright. So it would stand to reason that if you shove a straw in there, that you could potentially clean out most of it by sucking it through a straw because it has to be upright. That's the only way you can clean it. That's the only thing I could really think of. And then you'd have to grab a sponge and try to get whatever's left. Right. Yeah. And then there would be sponges in there forever. Oh, that's just awful.
00:08:17
Speaker
But that would be easier to grab out. I mean, how many sponges are going to be able to fit into a red solo cup? That's true. That's true. But I do have these big yellow ones that you can really squish down. That's a good point. If you use a real big one, then if it's sticking out, they say that it has to fit inside the cup. So that could be how you could get around that. Yeah. I guess that's all right. Yeah. Or maybe just shove a big old, maybe just shove a shop vac hose in there. It's not going to be able to replicate the whole shop vac.
00:08:44
Speaker
Yeah, and now I'm thinking about it too with the money like That would just even just one of those cops like if I had that just break the economy Yeah, that would be a yeah, absolutely like hundreds are just flying off the show Yeah at some point they would catch on they're like alright It seems like there's a lot more money coming from this part of you know the country We should go investigate this city and see where all this money's cuz it's not counterfeit. It's real money. I
00:09:12
Speaker
I mean, it's true. It's just being blipped into the universe from something. You know, I would be very curious of like, you know, I mean, that's like a Monster of the Week campaign. Like, oh, we got to go stop this guy from using the infinite cup, you know? Hey, you know what? If we ever do Monster of the Week again, I'll allow you to use my idea.
00:09:31
Speaker
Excellent. Thanks. I think it'd be great. He's like, ah, I'm just gonna use it for all the money and pour all this money out See see my brain went to like I didn't think like money could be good because like you could do a lot with it Not just for yourself, but for a lot of other people But what I would worry about is that like if somebody found out that you had it or if they're like all of a sudden like Danny's got like a fucking mansion or he's driving like billion dollar cars and
00:09:55
Speaker
What's he doing? What's his job? How is he doing this? How all of a sudden is he richer than Elon Musk? That's the good thing about me personally is I hate Gody. I hate
00:10:09
Speaker
You don't want to be, you don't know boojiness. No, I feel that I feel that I like my life. Just as it is, we have a small little home. It's just big enough for the two of us. Well, you know, if we decide to have children, we'll get a bigger house just enough to fit. But even if I became like a billionaire tomorrow,
00:10:29
Speaker
I really, really do not think I would ever go out and buy a mansion, supercars. The only thing I would splurge on is I'd get every video game system known to man, any games I could snatch up, and just never work again and play video games and drink Diet Coke from my cup for the rest of my life.
00:10:49
Speaker
You know, I think if that were me, like I felt similar where I always thought if I were going to get like a souped up car, I would get a shitty exterior and just have like under the hood look good. You know, that way, like it was still a well functioning car, but nobody wants to steal it because it looks like I wouldn't care if I got it scratched because it's already rusty. You know, like a fairly passive inspection. My father-in-law says all the time he wants to get a wooden bumper for his car. Just a disposable wooden bumper. Just if somebody's being an idiot, just bam.
00:11:18
Speaker
That's a good idea. You can hear that from me. Okay, that's good. For me, money would be good because I always want to run a network, a podcast network, and I could support so many different creators that I love, such as yourself and your lovely lady. I could fund that for people who needed a shot to have a livable wage doing something that they really enjoy doing.
00:11:44
Speaker
You know, and I would have infinite money to do that. Um, but I would worry that I would create monsters if I just like, cause I would give it away, man. I would, and I would put a target on my back for sure. The moment they're like, Oh, that guy seems to be loaded. You know, and again, I'm a bleeding heart. Somebody can manipulate me into giving him money. No, I ended up going and spending it on like a fucking tank and blowing up a school for all I fucking know. You know, so like, I would literally just be on the corner being like, Hey, you look like you're having a rough day. Here's $10,000.
00:12:15
Speaker
I've done that with what I have. I'm not going to go into it because I don't want to toot my
Ethical Implications of the Infinite Cup
00:12:20
Speaker
own horn, but I've already done that with what little I have. I know if I had a shit ton, I would be so awful. Every year I try to do one random, around the holidays, I try to do one random, bigger act of kindness than I normally do. Sure.
00:12:40
Speaker
one year I went to a quick check, like a little stop and eat place. And I gave the teller $100 and I said, Hey, just use this to buy people's things until it runs out. Sure. Or if I'm in drive through at a at a fast food place, I'll pay for the person's order behind me. Yeah, it's like small things like that. But man, if I had like infinite money,
00:13:05
Speaker
I'd be like, hey, here's this huge sack of money. Just give away free food for whoever needs it. And then I'd drive around and be like, you know, all the homeless, all the poor, all the people that are going hungry, just go here.
00:13:17
Speaker
Yeah, I really see I would want to take on the government man or the state like with all that money. I mean, but the thing is, is like I would want like to create like places safe spaces for people and stuff like that. And like, you know, or like, you know, these impoverished neighborhoods, all of a sudden, they're getting nice things like, oh, where's all this money coming from? And they would come and investigate my ass. They would bust into my my home and be like, what's going on? Where are you getting all this money? He's got to be counterfeit. Like, where's your machines? I'm like, you know, and I would just suddenly all these schools have money.
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah like why is this suddenly like their libraries have stuff and and you know that my teachers aren't buying their own pencils what is going on yeah and they like what the fuck what is going on you know i have to be like a private like. Investor somewhere yeah you have to find some way to like. I got a man.
00:14:06
Speaker
Anonymously? Well, anonymously do it. I was going to say, anonymatize yourself, but I don't think that's a real thing. Yeah, but when the government hears us, we're going to get de-anonymatized. Yeah.
00:14:19
Speaker
so much for this idea. They're going to start making new laws just in case. Yeah. My brain went to blood as well. I went to the idea of blood shortages. My brain immediately went to, what is it? Oh, negative. Negative is like the universal donor. Just as a little
00:14:43
Speaker
Sorry, as a little preview for everybody, my fun fact of the day is actually about blood types. Nice. Can't wait. Because see, my blood type is totally opposite, at least how it functions is the opposite of my personality. So I have AB positive blood type, which means I can receive everything. Yeah, you're the universal taker.
00:15:03
Speaker
Right, but it's a total opposite to my personality. So like, I couldn't just prick my own fingers have to find somebody that's got a negative but like, Hey, you know, would you mind putting a little bit of that in this cup? Thanks. Yeah, you know, just you know, just put a little in there and then the universe will provide a really good one. Yes, you know, whole issue at one time. Yeah, so I like
00:15:24
Speaker
Cause I mean, again, we can clean it out later. The only thing is I got to clean out like a whole soup full of blood out of the cup. I'm like, I have to suck it out again with a shop vac. But like, but that's where my brain went was like to just make a surplus of like, oh, negative blood. No, that's really good. That is not what I thought first when you said blood, but I like where your head's at. Now, you see, because, you know, my blood type is AB positive, which is also one of my life mottos, which is A, be positive.
00:15:54
Speaker
You know, so this is why we got along so I'm a positive blood type. Nice. I always say it's because I'm a positive person. I like that. Yes, you get an A plus for that my friend. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, there's so many possibilities with the infinite cup, you know, like, but I like that you can clean it out and put other things in because I think there's a way
00:16:20
Speaker
The only thing I'd worry about is governmental interference. Where's all this coming from? You'd have to start local and really just be like, okay, these people are having a shortage of wheat. You'd have to make money out of it. Right. And then move to another country where government is not as stringent, let's say.
00:16:42
Speaker
Sure. Set up a whole anonymous network of ships and then create your blood there, or you could put little foods in there and then ship it to all the other countries. Yeah, because if we got enough that we could start our own shipping organization, that we could privately do the replication of some of the products in a shipping container. That way, they're like, oh, they're just magically getting supplies. We're going to order a small amount of them.
00:17:12
Speaker
And then that way it shows that we're getting it and we can replicate it inside. Like, you know, if there's a shortage of wheat, I just got to get me a bunch of wheat seeds, you know, and then just throw some wheat seeds in there. And then now we can just like pass that shit out to all the local agriculture. Why even that though, you could just throw like berries in there and the berries, fully fresh berries ready to eat, you could just
00:17:32
Speaker
ship them everywhere. We could just drop them off to impoverished nations and cities. I mean, there's a lot you could do with it. You know, just so I really liked this question. So I was like, Oh, I feel like this could be one that, you know, I thought about opening with this during the 12 hour stream, but I thought the discussion would go forever because it just, there's so many possibilities. That's a really great question. I really, yeah. Yeah. To whoever posts this question, you may never hear this, but thank you for it. It was quite an invigorating idea. I like it a lot.
00:18:01
Speaker
Now this one I have another question for you Danny. This one's a little bit of total a different direction. Okay, so this one is from From user okay snow 7 1 1 9 on reddit and they asked Do you guys laugh and shit when someone is blowing the bathroom up or do you sit in silence and try not to laugh and shit?
Public Restroom Humor
00:18:36
Speaker
Like so, you know like do you if so if you hear somebody in the stall next to you or even you know and they're just You just hear bat, you know, just just bombs going off in there. I
00:18:47
Speaker
you know, like, do you chuckle out loud to be like, hey, this is hilarious, buddy. Or do you just like cover your mouth and try not to laugh? I try not to laugh. I do try not to laugh, which actually does usually end up to, you know, you hold it in and you get that that pressure. It does actually help me out a little bit. Yeah, pushes the air downward versus upward through your mouth. You know, already, I'm there for a reason. And now you're a reason. Tag team booping. But
00:19:16
Speaker
The only time I really go out to anywhere regularly would be my job. And I don't know what it is there. I don't know if it's the cleaning material they use or what, but whenever anybody poops or even farts in that bathroom, it has the same awful stench
00:19:44
Speaker
for everyone. And I know not everyone's eating the same thing. It smells like brimstone in there. So you start laughing at first, but then you start to smell it. And then you choke. Yeah, and then I'm trying not to cough. Which still helps me.
00:20:02
Speaker
Yeah, because there's contractions going on that helps you push. We've all snorted before in the middle of a sneeze or something else escapes, so it stands a reason that they can help push. You use any leverage you can get. You've got to really use all the tools at your disposal. Yeah, you've got to get them butt weasels out, man.
00:20:24
Speaker
and they're gonna resist and you have to evict them. And this is also assuming, of course, I'm not the one blowing up the bathroom. Right. I mean, it's true. I mean, okay, well, let's spin it. Let's flip that. If you were blowing up the toilet and you knew there's just no way that you can make this quiet without disturbing the other people in the bathroom, do you think it would make you feel better to hear nothing from them or to hear them laugh? Oh, man.
00:20:52
Speaker
God, that's so awful. Like, would it make you feel better to know you're making people crack up outside the toilet? I think it would actually. I think the best thing I could ever hear after something like that is somebody mess up holding in their laughter. Yeah.
00:21:14
Speaker
I thought if somebody just brings it up right away and they're like, Oh, man, that was a good one. I'm just like, Oh, now I'm now it's awkward. Yeah, I think they got a good kick out of it. I think it helps if you play into it, too. Like I've never done it where I was blowing up the toilet and paid people laugh at one time.
00:21:33
Speaker
I let my friend talk me into going to a target on black friday with him cuz you just want to pick up one thing and we're there for like three hours cuz the line was like wrapped around the building twice it was so cold i was like oh my god i hate you for this and so like we get in there and i gotta pee like something fierce like i'm school my god i'm gonna like i was looking for a place outside the piano so desperate as i call my god so when i finally got inside and you know when i whip it out and get ready to do my thing you know.
00:22:01
Speaker
You know my hands are freezing and I gotta reach down there and aim, you know, and so just just cuz it was so cold I went huh and that a lot I went I went God I don't even want to touch my wiener it's so cold and I Everyone in the bathroom because they all piled in because a lot of you had a pee man. They were dying
00:22:19
Speaker
I was like, I don't want to touch my penis. My hands are so cold. And like, these guys are like cracking up. I would have been too. That's amazing. Yeah. And so like, that was the one time I was like, well, you know, it's nice to kind of make a light in the bathroom. Everybody goes in there. They're kind of embarrassed. You're doing something that's kind of, you know, that society tells you is uncouth or should be kept, you know, remember, everybody poops.
00:22:39
Speaker
everybody poops. And so like, you know, I remember that at least was a time where like, I wasn't pooping, but like everybody in the bathroom on the toilets with the urinals are waiting in line, we're all kind of cracking up. And so I remember looking over my shoulder being like, guys, make sure you warm your hands up. You look back behind you and everybody's going,
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah, just really, you know, she was like, you know, my ass is still kind of warm, shove your hands down the back of your pants, you know, try to, you know, um, but there's the worst though, having freezing hands. Oh God, it's so, it's so difficult. Yeah, I hate it. But there was another time where I was in a stall next to somebody. Well, I just walked in. I hadn't gotten into the stall yet. And somebody was just like, you just like, Oh God. And so I remember just wrapping on the door and like, you okay there, man. There was one person.
00:23:26
Speaker
uh not at this job but another one I did um who would go to the bathroom about the same time every day and it matched up with my poop schedule we were just twinsies like that you know this guy he leaned into it hard and I don't know if something was wrong down there or what but you know he he
00:23:50
Speaker
There was just a lot of like, okay. I'm just sitting on the other side. I'm just trying to get at it. I don't know what the hell's going on over there.
00:24:02
Speaker
Yeah, I was just like, you need me to pull your finger. Do you need words of encouragement? You got this. Yeah, the guy was too awkward to say anything to me when I said, well, no, he did say, no, I'm good. I'm good. And he wouldn't really talk. But there was one time where I was pooping. And just like as squeaky as fart came out, I was like, and like,
00:24:23
Speaker
And then i knew another was coming i can't like wait this long cuz i don't want to start anybody but i know another one's coming so i try to do the old peter griffin coffin fart and so i got it. And then i heard somebody laugh on the other side like by the sink and i said that didn't work did it.
00:24:44
Speaker
I've tried to do that before, try to make some kind of noise, but because my entire life I never grew up above the age of eight, I've always found farts too funny, right?
00:25:00
Speaker
ingrained in my brain to silence everything so that the fart has as much air time as it needs for everyone to hear. So even if I were trying to like make a noise, I subconsciously will stop just in time to fart and then I'll continue making the noise. So you go like, damn. Yes. I'll be like.
00:25:31
Speaker
Lately, it's become a game because I work with so many awkward, like I work in an office building, and we all show like a bathroom upstairs. And so like, I'm on a similar schedule with some of the guys that go in there. And, you know, like there's times where just I know that they're so awkward, and they won't even look into face. We say, Hey, good morning. How you doing there?
00:25:50
Speaker
But if I know I got one coming, I try to time it to when they turn the sink on or when they turn the air dryer on. And the moment the air dryer comes on, I push everything. It's like, I got to beat the timer. It becomes a game of perfection, if you remember. Can you get it in there before the timer runs out? Yeah, it's hard. Like there's anxiety in a box.
00:26:15
Speaker
pop goes poop fiction. Have you ever had? Are you somebody like if you're at work at the office or whatever? Are you somebody who will try to hold in their farts until they get a chance to go to the bathroom?
00:26:32
Speaker
I have a couple of like escape corners I go to, you know, where like I know that most people don't frequent. I also have the old ninja dust of the of the hand sanitizer. So just get a fistful of that walk into a closet and then drop my bomb and then just like throw hand sanitizer on the walls to try to like mask the smell of it.
00:26:57
Speaker
I just love it like all over my hands just like i really dirty today you know just really try that and then i got way behind me as i walk to try to like you know mask the smell of alcohol.
00:27:09
Speaker
Uh, that's what I do. So I always try to, if I can, I try to save it for the bathroom, right? Sure. But there are absolutely days where I'm just stuck at my desk for one reason or another. So I'm trying to perfect the special sit down technique of like spreading your cheeks as far as they go by wiggling back and forth so that it just goes
00:27:39
Speaker
your ass is telling a secret it's just telling everybody it just had a long day it's like now I have had it work before
00:27:55
Speaker
Yeah, because you always give it like a little test squeak. Right, of course. So if it works, I can then follow that up and let everything out. Right. But there are absolutely times where like, I'm in a room and with my boss or something, I'm just like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yes, indeed. That's very interesting. Tell me more.
00:28:17
Speaker
Yeah, you got to have the hand sanitizer just in case like I told the student like when I worked at the studio full time about that at the dance studio and I remember, you know, I was just like guys, because one of them came up, they're like, what do you guys have doing? Like when you have to teach a bunch of lessons in a row, you don't have enough time to go to the bathroom. And I was like, you know,
00:28:37
Speaker
I remember one guy was like, where do you guys fart? He's like, I know you guys fart. Where do you do it? Honestly, I do it during my lessons. Usually I'll step away when you guys are dancing around the floor and then I'll just glob on my hand sanitizer and walk up to you and you guys usually don't seem like you're none the wiser. The guy, they both thought it was hilarious, but the guy really thought it was funny because he saw one of our teachers sanitizes after every lesson because you touch a lot of people.
00:29:05
Speaker
She was sanitizing. He looks at me and goes, I think, Alex, I just farted. What you did is dangerous, because now any time you go up to them and you smell like sanitizer, they're going to be like, hey. I mean, they have asked. They're like, did you? And I'm like, oh, yeah.
00:29:20
Speaker
I'm like, but this is for you. Yeah, you know, just don't go back there. But yeah, I mean, that's how so I guess the general answer for me is, do you guys laugh and shit or do you just try not to laugh and shit? It depends, you know, if I know who the people are. But typically, you know, out of out of courtesy, I'll try not to laugh. And if I'm the one doing it, I'll laugh. If it's me, I'm gonna laugh. I will try not to laugh. But if somebody else laughs or something, yeah, I'll just go along with it.
00:29:50
Speaker
I love it. Okay, so there you go for that, Mr. Or whoever you are. Happy to help.
Simplifying Blood Types
00:30:00
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, Danny, it's time for your special segment. Hit us with some fun Danny knowledge. All right, sure.
00:30:12
Speaker
good morning class today i'm going to teach you about blood types just because it's a little something i know how it works i know it's a lot of it's something not a lot of people know and it's um people have always been asking about and are amazed that i actually know how it works so we brought it up before with um you know you wanting to have oh negative blood and being ab positive
00:30:36
Speaker
So there are two different types of proteins in your blood. Protein one and two. Protein one is split up between A and B. So if you have protein A, you're A. If you have B, you're B. If you have both, you're AB. If you have neither, you're O. And then protein two,
00:31:03
Speaker
You either have it or you don't. Positive or negative. Interesting. Wait. So if you don't have the protein, that's what makes you negative. Right. So if you have neither of these proteins, you are O negative. And when you are giving blood to somebody else, it is okay to give them blood that does not have proteins in it. It is dangerous to give them blood that has proteins they don't have.
00:31:32
Speaker
That's why O negative is okay, because it has no proteins on it. It doesn't matter what the other person has, because missing proteins is fine. AB positive can't go to anybody but another AB positive, because for anybody else, like for me, I'm A positive, I don't have the B protein. So if you gave me your blood, that B protein would mess me up. Interesting. I don't know, that's quite, wow.
00:32:01
Speaker
So I have all the things. You have everything in your blood. And that's why you are the universal taker because everybody's blood has the proteins that are in yours, maybe just missing some, which is fine.
00:32:16
Speaker
Oh, boy, that is quite that's pretty cool. I know I've never heard it
Danny's Educational Journey
00:32:20
Speaker
explained that way before. There you go. So the positive comes from protein to the positive or negative or the the the presence of protein to or the lack thereof is the positive or negative. And the first protein is either a B, a B or neither. Right.
00:32:39
Speaker
What do you know? What are those proteins? I used to know that, but I do not anymore. How do you know that? How do you know that? Originally, back in high school, I wanted to major in biology.
00:32:57
Speaker
I learned a lot about blood types. I wanted to do microbiology specifically, so I learned a lot about blood types, the human genome, DNA strands, ATCG gang represent.
00:33:15
Speaker
nervous about it, and I kind of wanted to lean into my desire at the time to help people, you know, make the world a little bit of a better place. Sure. So I actually changed my major to criminal justice, and I was going to be a police officer. Okay. Unfortunately, when I graduated and could have joined an academy, there was a five year waiting period to become a police officer. Oh my goodness. Were they that inundated with applicants?
00:33:45
Speaker
Yeah, at the time. Wow. So I just kind of got whatever jobs I could. And then I met Mel, my wife. And, you know, I was just thinking like, Oh, well, you know, the pool of applicants is shrunk, I could probably try and go now. But I have a fiance at the time, do I really want a job where I run into danger and like do that?
00:34:14
Speaker
So I decided to just kind of stick with what I was doing. And yeah, that's just kind of where I've been ever since. But I've always thought about trying to get back into biology sometime maybe. I mean, you speak very confidently of it. I mean, you had a different cadence when you were talking about it and educating us on it. So it certainly sounds like there's still very much a desire there and a passion for it.
00:34:40
Speaker
There is. Absolutely. It's mostly just time and money at this point. Yeah, certainly. Going back to school, there's no real science-based job that's easy to get into. I am actually trying to find my way back into pharmaceutical business, more on the administrative side, but at least then I'm working for a company in a field
00:35:08
Speaker
similar to that, you know, where I might be more interested in moving around the company, things like that. So I am trying in a way to get my foot back in that door. But time will tell or you know, if voice acting takes off or streaming or YouTube or whatever the heck I
00:35:26
Speaker
I'm not going to be picky about what I do for the rest of my life as long as the bills. Sure. Yeah. And you know, those things aren't mutually exclusive. You know, you could very well, if you find like a stride in some of these more creative endeavors, I mean, you could end up, you know, having that be like one of your little side projects where you educate people on, you know, like what you're doing now. Like you can you can be entertaining and educating at the same time. Oh, yeah. What was it called?
00:35:55
Speaker
Because science or the one with Kyle Hill and YouTube somebody Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I used to watch that all the time That wouldn't be a bad idea to try and make something like that. Maybe no, I would love to do stuff like that You know, I'm very much a teacher at heart myself. It's you know, I didn't pursue standard education because
00:36:16
Speaker
I sent you one of my teachers accidentally talk me out of it when they were the ones to talk me into it just because they told me about like you know that you know you have to do it out of passion you can't you won't make a lot of money you take a lot of work home you're off on the summers you have to kind of fend for yourself and they were doing they were being real with me which i appreciate it.
00:36:33
Speaker
You know they said you know just so you know what you're getting into because all my teachers growing up was like Adam You got to be a teacher. I was the first one to volunteer for presentations always tutoring other kids You know like I enjoyed like working with like kids that had special needs like I always sat next to them in class To help them you know understand what they were doing. I just always kind of liked doing it And I never really thought about it. I just kind of did it And so everybody as long as I can be a teacher you got to go be a teacher and then the one thing with psychiatrist
00:37:03
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that you should be a teacher. I was always like the psychiatrist and everything people Yeah, me with their issues and everybody, you know, I love figuring out a way to explain something to somebody in a way that's easy and manageable. Yeah, the whole blood type thing.
00:37:20
Speaker
Yeah, no, I completely agree. That's something that I take a lot of pride in, too. It's like, how can I take this thing? When I'm learning something, oftentimes, I'll try to relay an analogy to whomever it is that's instructing
Engaging Teaching Approaches
00:37:33
Speaker
me. That way, I can make sure that I'm understanding it in language that makes sense to me. That way, I can translate that to someone else who may not
00:37:42
Speaker
Not everybody learns the same way. I like psych myself. I like studying humanity, but I've never studied it officially. I just know, as an extrovert, I guess you get to know people in a way. Not that that qualifies me in any sort of way, but I do find it fascinating. I'm always wondering, why do people do what they do?
00:38:02
Speaker
I definitely love the teacher mentality. People want to learn, but they want to find it. It's hard to keep people's attention nowadays, so you have to find a way to educate people in an interesting way.
00:38:15
Speaker
And that's something that's kind of gotten lost. Learning can be so much fun. Even if it's not something you're particularly interested in. I have had teachers, I hate math. I absolutely hate math. Chemistry is what scared me away from biology. But I have had teachers that made me love math.
00:38:35
Speaker
I've had, you know, I play Dungeons and Dragons and I've never gotten so good at just adding quickly and subtracting quickly. And you'd be amazed how much that actually helps you in the real world to be able to add and subtract simple numbers quickly. Yeah. And you can learn anything as long as it's done in like a fun, interactive way, I feel. Yeah. And sometimes I think you can pick someone's interest even if they don't.
00:39:02
Speaker
You know, sometimes people don't know they want to learn something until they see the opportunity to learn it. You know, like, I have friends who when they found out that I was a dance instructor immediately were like, Oh, you know, how do you do that? Could you show me like, well, if I never brought that up in a conversation, I would have never known that about them. They might have not have never known that they want to do that until they saw that there was an opportunity to learn it. So like, you know, sometimes you need to just present that like, Hey, you know what, maybe you didn't know you wanted to know how blood types worked.
00:39:30
Speaker
But now you know and you're like hey i think i want to look more into that that was kind of fun to learn about you know like you don't know what will inspire people. Those are my favorite kinds of facts to like just spit out like.
00:39:42
Speaker
The ones that are very easy to follow, very surface level, like, hey, here's how blood types work. But it leads to such a big rabbit hole that if you are interested in, feel free. Dig yourself into that rabbit hole. Yeah. And it can lead to further discussion, too. Some people like to just have random factoids in their pocket because they want to sound cool. They're like, hey, did you guys know that? My favorite one that I like to bust out when things get awkward, like, did you guys know your ears grow until you die?
00:40:10
Speaker
You know you know I don't know why I would love you know but usually like well why is that like I have no idea we should Google it together and find out you know let's learn something together you know and like usually then or something stupid like that I'll bring up just to kind of like get a conversation going like well we should Google that or maybe someone in the room of like actually I do know why really I didn't know you knew that how do you know that you know
Danny's Personal Growth and Humor
00:40:30
Speaker
and it could start a conversation but like sometimes you don't know that that curiosity is there until you drop that sweet that sweet little nugget and see if people want to follow it you know yeah
00:40:39
Speaker
I'm big on education too, so I feel you there. I really do. As a dance teacher, I'm very fascinated by...
00:40:47
Speaker
a part of it is like, okay, this doesn't make sense to you. But when I presented to that couple, they got it. So that it's exciting for me because I'm like, okay, what can I do based on what I know about you to make this physical skill physically and mentally make sense so that way you don't get emotionally distraught at this thing that you're trying not to fail at? Because people are afraid of failure, you know, so like so hard to mess up all the time. But yeah,
00:41:11
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I always my new motto at the studio for a very long time was mess up with confidence, you know, like just crash with confidence because usually you're probably right. You're just too scared to try. Just go for it. Have fun with it. If anything, you'll do some other quarter sort of cool move that I haven't thought of yet. You know, but anyway, like just just, you know, to kind of swing back on the wet, you know,
00:41:31
Speaker
Turn it back to you like i heard that as you were saying it as you're talking about your cadence change you sounded excited to talk about it you have a very clear way that you presented it and i thought this dude likes to teach he likes this he likes this idea cuz like he's really into what he's saying right now is definitely up.
00:41:53
Speaker
I don't know if I've ever really looked into teaching. So, you know, like you said before, you're an extrovert. I am very much a introverted extrovert. I'm very able to hold my own in a conversation. Actually, we've talked about this on Discord. But I do very, very much still have a social battery.
00:42:18
Speaker
that needs recharging after, you know, after something like this. Sure. Um, so, you know, we'll do this, maybe whatever we're doing after this, we'll do that. Uh, but after my friends leave, I'll probably just go to bed. Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. Most of the people I know are like that, you know, but, but it's hard struggling that line between introvert and extrovert. Cause I do, I do love talking to people. I love learning more about them and
00:42:49
Speaker
When it's somebody charismatic that I can feed off of, it's very easy. The problem is when it's something I'm not as knowledgeable about, how many times do you talk to somebody and blood types comes up?
00:43:06
Speaker
Unless you force it to come up, you can find a way. Oh, hey, I know that football player. His blood type is this. Yeah, I wonder what his blood type is. I don't know sports at all. I don't follow sports and that's still a big issue when I go to work and I have to work in the office. Everybody talks about their favorite sports team and everything and I'm just quiet. Yeah.
00:43:29
Speaker
I think there's a market for trying to help people in those types of situations and I'm definitely considering making a series about it because I thrive in those situations where either I just pretend that I know what I'm talking about or I'll just find a way to cheekily change the subject. You know what? I would watch that as an instructional video. Absolutely. I've learned to
00:43:52
Speaker
It isn't about me. It doesn't matter. Anyway, the point is that I get it though. I do recognize a lot of people have their struggles. But I do think too that you have a good skill because
00:44:04
Speaker
Somebody else was telling me this I think it was I think Sam might have been telling me this where another one of our friends where I think she was saying like it depends on who I'm around like I a lot of people even though they may be introverted or Kind of awkward tend to match the energy of whomever it is that they're around Which is a skill because sometimes I struggle with X. It's hard to turn it off once it's on But some people have a natural inclination like all that guy's bringing it so I'm gonna bring it or that person's kind of docile So I'm gonna be a little more docile
00:44:33
Speaker
I don't want to say I'm empathic like that. I don't believe necessarily in all of that energy stuff, but that's neither here or there. But I am very empathetic to other people in that way. There are times where I've walked into a room and if somebody's in a bad mood, I'm just immediately in a bad mood.
00:44:58
Speaker
Sure. I don't even need to talk to you. I don't even need to really even look at you. I can just kind of feel it and it puts me right in that headspace. But the same is true for the opposite. You know, I talk to somebody who's happy and charismatic and I'm able to feed off that energy and I'm fine. Yeah, I can talk like this all day.
00:45:18
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, but that empathy is a big thing. Like humans are very empathetic creatures. And typically, you know, like we mirror a lot of what we see and feel, you know, so just kind of being aware of it is again, it's a skill being a self awareness is I've been calling it a skill for a long time now because like it is a skill. Like a lot of people, again, sometimes I wonder, like, some people who are just abrasive all the time, I'm like, do they know that they're abrasive? Like, do they know?
00:45:45
Speaker
You know like sometimes like all that guys an asshole or that lady sucks but like maybe they don't even know that they're upsetting people like they don't just understand you know and there are some people who are slightly neurodivergent and some who are more said nor divergent and they may not even get it some people are just socially just inept.
00:46:04
Speaker
I mean, that's just kind of a shitty word, but like, you know, they just don't get it. They don't recognize it. So sometimes you're like, do you know that you're kind of a dick? Like, do you recognize that the things you say hurt people, you know, or annoy people? Something you can learn unless you really go out of your way to do it. Yeah, it's just something you either kind of have or develop subconsciously. Yeah, it's so hard to kind of like, help somebody who
00:46:35
Speaker
isn't as empathetic to others because it's like how do I even tell you that hey you know it would be nice if you weren't such an asshole like how do I do that exactly that's a whole other that's a whole other social parameter that people struggle with that which I also have had my
Danny's Social Interactions
00:46:55
Speaker
own struggles with but yeah
00:46:57
Speaker
It is hard you know because we're all capable of just being oblivious the only one in the room that doesn't realize what you've done you know but like there you know but i think some people are more often others and it's kinda hard to approach that without being like you.
00:47:11
Speaker
Do you recognize what you've done without sounding like a dickhead? You're right. Man, I could talk to stuff for hours, Danny. We got to do more of this kind of discussion in the future, man. Absolutely. Sure. This is amazing. I was nervous before we started. I'm fine. Well, here's a question that I think
00:47:33
Speaker
Uh, was an interesting one. This one is posted by someone on Reddit named, uh, drink like Tyrian, drink like Tyrian. I'm guessing that's a character. That's a game of thrones. Okay. Um, it says dudes, is it quote unquote gay to ask another dude what cologne they're wearing?
00:47:54
Speaker
And they go on to say, firstly, I do not care about sexual preferences. I accept anyone as they are, but I'm an avid cologne wearer, which is a sentence I've never said. I love, I wear cologne, but I always call myself avid. I wear it daily, I buy all kinds, I enjoy smelling cologne on myself and on others. A few years ago, I was with a few buddies and had asked another male friend what cologne he was wearing. Another male friend snapped quickly and said, dude,
00:48:20
Speaker
Don't ever ask anyone that. Are you gay? So dudes, is it weird or gay? How would you react? So what are your thoughts on that? Oh man. Well, I can definitely say my friend group is nowhere near the same as theirs. So you may have noticed just from
00:48:40
Speaker
me and how I am. But my friend group, we tend to get pretty goofy with each other. We're very much all of us are huggers. Like when we see each other, guy or girl, it really doesn't matter. I'll hug you. Yep. And if one of my friends happened to have cologne on that day, I'd probably make a thing of it and like give them a hug and go, oh, dude, you smell amazing. What is that? Holy testicle Tuesday. Yeah. Holy.
00:49:09
Speaker
If I wasn't gay before, I will be now. So none of my friends I don't think would ever be like, dude, you can't do that. It's so gay. No, we lean into that stuff. And none of the friends I'm thinking of off the top of my head right now, as far as I know, are. But we just mess around. Who cares? We'll do that in public.
00:49:35
Speaker
I don't care if people think I'm gay, it's fine. Yeah, I think this is, yeah, yeah, I don't know. For me, it's like, you know, I think the line is like,
00:49:49
Speaker
You have to be careful if you're going to say it to a stranger. That's fair, yes. I wouldn't do that to a stranger. I mean, I might, but I think I'm a little bit easier at having an easier time disarming people, where I'm like, I just walk past someone like, wow, something smells really good. What is that? That way, I'm not directing at anybody in particular. But typically, cologne is not meant to be smelled like
00:50:12
Speaker
You know, unless like you're really close to somebody, like if I can smell you eight feet, nine feet away, like you put on too much. Um, you know, it's supposed to be subtle. Um, you know, it's supposed to be like, you know, or at least maybe more potent when someone gets close to you. That's the whole point is to like, you know, have them, at least that's my understanding of why other, why else would you wear cologne? It might also just be a cologne users kind of attitude. So personally, I wouldn't ever ask anybody what their colon is, but I don't wear it.
00:50:42
Speaker
I just shower, put on deodorant. I'm okay with just smelling nothing or, you know, hint of soap I used. Hint of soap is my clone. Hint of soap, the collodion. I love hint of soap. Wanna smell like you showered yesterday? Yes, hint of, what's that one? Irish spring. Hint of Irish spring.
00:51:14
Speaker
It also comes from the fact that I am very much like the stereotypical allergic kid. I'm allergic to everything. I get asthma real easy. I always have to have like an inhaler with an arms reach kind of guy. Sure, sure. So too much cologne. A little cologne is fine.
00:51:37
Speaker
But when you get people walking by that just cloud themselves in that or axe. Half a can of axe body spray. Or you sometimes get people that have way too much perfume. Or like those body spritzers that you can smell across the room and say, oh, I smell cherries but way too many cherries. It's like when I can start to smell the chemical composition of it, you put way too much on.
00:52:04
Speaker
that will set me off so then i feel really bad because you walked by me and i went and they're like oh oh oh what an asshole i'm not trying to be mean but it was an autonomous reaction i'm sorry human cologne just immediately closed my windpipe i'm sorry
00:52:26
Speaker
Yeah, I mean that is a thing. My little brother was guilty of that. Like I used to use acts in high school, but it was very much just like a spritz on the neck and one down my pants. Um, you know, my brother would just, you would hear about five, five to 10 just compressed seconds of
00:52:42
Speaker
I'm like, oh my god, dude. But since my adult life, since my adult life started around late 17 and 18, I've actually used the same one until it was discontinued. And I use the next closest one of a bottle of Adidas. It was called Adidas Sport. But I've never been able to find it since. But I found one close to it called Ice Dive or some shit like that. And I can make that bottle last like a year without a little I use it, just enough. And I've been using the same thing since I was 18 years old, practically.
00:53:11
Speaker
I do have to say life pro tip. I switched from so I always use dove for men. Yeah, I use dove body wash. It's what my dad actually used. So when I grew up, I would just use it as well. And I just stuck with it. And when I got a little bit older, and I moved out of the house, my dad always had the spray can I switched to roll on. It has its disadvantages.
00:53:39
Speaker
but it's not freezing when you put it on. For me, that is just the worst. I'm shaking whenever I have to put on spray on deodorant because I know it's going to be freezing and my armpit is just going to immediately get frostbite. It's already a sensitive area and you're going to spray it with cold air, with cold fog. I'm shaking. My whole body is like, no, don't press that button. Switching to roll on really helped with that, I will say. It has its own issues, but
00:54:09
Speaker
I would say that was a big plus for me. Yeah, yeah, pro tip. Pro tip, give it a try. Give it a try. Let us know how you like it. Go to the website, send us a speak pipe. Let us know. Funwithsellersnetwork.com.
00:54:25
Speaker
Um, so, uh, yeah, I think, you know, it's not gay to ask somebody, especially if it's a friend, if it's a friend or a buddy that like, they should love you and trust you anyway, you're like, yeah, man, you smell good. What is that that you're wearing? Like, you know, maybe I, maybe I'll go look in that same shop or, you know, I've been told I smell good from people that I'm, you know,
00:54:44
Speaker
Usually, it's because we're hugging. I'm also a hugger, so I'll get that a lot. Usually, the people who are a little bit closer to my height when we hug will be like, oh, hey, you smell nice. Well, thanks. Try to avoid using gay in a negative way like that.
00:54:59
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. For sure. And you know, if somebody says, Are you gay? I get asked that a lot when people find out if I compliment men, or if, or that I'm a dance instructor, I automatically hear that assumption, Oh, are you gay? And usually I just say enough.
00:55:17
Speaker
I just haven't met the right guy yet, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I guess, you know, he's just like, I'm gay enough. Sure. You know, gay enough to say I love that shirt on you. You know, I know all four men complimenting hugging each other. You know, absolutely. I'm all for that stuff, man. Men. It's it's hard, right? Because especially with that kind of crowd, it's like,
00:55:40
Speaker
There's an expectation of you have to be manly. You have to not bring up certain things, keep emotions aside, screw all that.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah, especially especially if like, especially if like, like, you know, it'd be different. He said, Oh, hey, you smell like shit. Tell me what cologne you're wearing. So I don't buy it. God, I took a drink when you said yeah. You know, like, I mean, which one would you rather hear you smell good or hey, you smell like ass dude, like change your cologne. Because I've told several dudes, including my own flesh and blood, you smell like shit, whatever you have on take it off, go shower. You know, like it's awful.
00:56:17
Speaker
Sometimes you need that kick in the ass. Yeah, like someone needs to tell you like this or if you're like or if you just you know somebody who just Like I know a guy, you know again, I don't discriminate against people who live that weed smoking life That's fine But I used to a friend of mine had a boyfriend who very much was the tie-dye hoodie wearing long hair glasses You know the kind of typical kind of 70s look at or was it 60s hippie look right? Yeah
00:56:42
Speaker
Yeah and you know it's fine but like he wore the same hoodie everywhere and he never watched it and it was became a mix of like. We didn't be oh and it was just it was hard to be around any hug me once and i couldn't get the stink off me and i like most of that is be oh he doesn't watch this fucking hoodie and like one time you come in like you gotta leave a hoodie outside dude yeah it sucks cuz i don't want to be an asshole right.
00:57:08
Speaker
Right but people need to know it's like if you have food in your teeth or if you stink or if like you have something on your face or on your lip when you're eating like people want to know it's a little embarrassing but I would rather somebody tell me that like I'm the offensive in some way instead of me continuing to make other people uncomfortable when I find out like a year later why all of a sudden not invited to the weddings and the parties anymore you know.
00:57:32
Speaker
That's one of those times where you got to hurt someone's feelings in the short term so that way they can be more comfortable in the long term. Nothing's worse when you find out later where someone's like, hey, they don't want to hang out with you anymore because you're abrasive or because you stink or for whatever other reasons it may be. You got to break that mold. You got to tell them. You got to tell them. Absolutely. Actually, we were talking before about
00:57:56
Speaker
something like this but I always tell people because I'm very I'm a prankster I'm a jokester you know I sure I have no problem making fun of people I have no problem being made fun of but I always tell people look I I make fun of people it's what I it's just my sense of humor if anything I say ever bothers you or if you don't like it just tell me and I will leave you alone
00:58:21
Speaker
Yeah, that's it. Like, I'm sorry. It's basically like I know I'm going to default to this. It's a disclaimer you to know. Yeah, I want you to know ahead of time. I mean, nothing by it. I do not.
00:58:33
Speaker
dislike you in any way or anything. In fact, if I make fun of you, it means I like you. Yes, the bespectable man in this conversation is a paid actor. None of this is real. But I do warn people like, hey, you know, when I get silly, I might just blurt out a joke or make fun of you. And I fully expect it done to me. But if it bothers you, or if I touch on a subject you don't like, just let me know. I'll make a mental note of it to not do it.
00:58:59
Speaker
Yeah. It's good to put those out there, but some people use those as a buffer. Well, I told you guys I was an asshole. If someone tells you to quit, that means to quit. You have that awareness where you're like, hey, you know what? If something I say bothers you, let me know and I'll drop it. Some people are like, I'm just letting you know I'm an asshole and that's just who I am. Well, that's what I was getting at before as we were talking about that kind of self-awareness. I know enough about myself to know that, hey,
00:59:26
Speaker
uh i will make fun of you it's gonna happen i may not even mean to do it uh and i'm sorry in advance and i won't i'll make it sure not to do it if yep you tell me it's the same with me where like i know that i'm very energetic i know i get excitable when i'm around people and sometimes i i also i'm just like
00:59:46
Speaker
Again, maybe I might not make a disclaimer. Usually people will disclaim for me that like, Oh, that's Adam. That's just kind of what he does. Like, you know, he's friendly. He's exciting. He means what he says, but he's also very energetic. Um, so I do have people who know me enough that they're just like, it's not like, Oh, he's nice. Once you get to know him, it's more like, you know what, he's, he's, he means what he says. He just has a lot of energy, you know, but usually I'll say, Hey, I'm just really excited. I like people, you know, I'm very outgoing, um, whatever.
01:00:11
Speaker
some people don't trust it right away if i'm like hey how you doing tell me about you where. I'm like hey you know i can go get that for you don't worry about it i got you and it's like i can't trust this guy is a little too friendly like i get like white people might have had that too where people are like i don't like him he seems fake no right it's just like like people.
01:00:30
Speaker
It's hard because they're like, well, what do you want? I'm like, nothing, but your friendship, I guess. I just want to hang out. I don't want anything other than just to have fun. I'm trying to read that though because I recognize it. I scare people, so I try to come in a little less hot. I guess it's not as big a deal for me because
01:00:51
Speaker
I do have that bit of an introverted side, so usually I won't go up and talk to somebody unless I happen to see that they have my kind of sense of humor beforehand. Sure. Like a little bit of doing your homework before you get in there. A little bit. Like if I were to go to a party and I saw somebody laugh and having a good time talking about something, I know.
01:01:10
Speaker
you know, anime, video games, whatever. Then I'll go join that conversation, see where it goes. I'm not gonna walk up to everybody at the party and just start throwing one-liners and seeing what sticks.
01:01:21
Speaker
Yeah. I'm the one that goes like mind sweeper for like the awkward people that aren't talking or the ones that are petting the dog or the ones that are sitting in the corner or the ones that are staring at the fire if it's a bonfire not talking. Usually I'm like, hey, what's your deal? What's up with you? That's good, though. I would love that because if I'm just sitting on the sidelines and somebody did that, give that an opportunity. Absolutely. Yeah.
01:01:45
Speaker
Usually I'm just like, hey, I'm just swinging through. I haven't, you know, I haven't got a chance to meet you or like, oh, hey, you know, you're so-and-so, right? Like, how do you know, you know, usually just to kind of strike it up and say, hey, is it cool if I sit with you? Just that way, like it kind of disarms people a little bit, you know, because, you know, I've been in that situation before, like I really kind of grew into the myself, you know, like that little bit more outgoing or like sometimes you go somewhere and you don't really know how to engage. And I'm recognizing that it's not a skill that everybody possesses right away.
01:02:13
Speaker
But just like you said, if I'm like, if I spot they've got a Pokemon tattoo, I'll say, oh hey, did you get the most recent Pokemon get? I'll try to like, or how do you feel about Pokemon Go? Usually I'm like, if I can get them talking about something I know they're excited about, then they'll kind of relax. So I try to find some sort of cue or clue that's just like, what is it that I could get this person energized a bit? And so. And not to bring up
01:02:41
Speaker
Super Mario frustration again, but that's kind of what happened with us. You said something I was like, oh, like I already knew I kind of liked you. But like, then you said that and I was like, he knows that the blue. And then that's when we started really talking to each other. And well, this happened.
01:03:00
Speaker
Yeah, you know, I think it's, and these are always so fun to do because like it gives me an opportunity like, you know, when Josh and I first started it from he and I spend more time together and we started doing guests and it really, you know, I started a podcast called shares a lot, the very first one I ever did, which was a way for me to express myself, but also look for opportunities to bring other people on to get to know them. So like I enjoy doing stuff like this, like this is this is like power for me. I recognize it isn't for everyone else, but you know, it's huge for me.
01:03:28
Speaker
I'm trying to, my New Year's resolution is to try and get out there a bit more. Yeah. I'm very reclusive when it comes to just my general life. I will answer you if you send me a message, let's say, but it's very rare for me to initiate. And I don't mean anything bad by it. It's just how I am.
01:03:52
Speaker
I'm trying to fix that. I'm trying to talk to people more. I know joining your Discord was actually a big jump for me for that. It's why I'm signing up for pretty much everything I can get my hands on. Good for you. I'm just trying to get out there more. You know, I want to do more than just play video games and go to work.
01:04:09
Speaker
Yeah. You have to play video games, but talk to people. It's still something more. And the thing is, I think it's a good mentality. Because you said the word fix, and that's a word that jumps out to me when people say, oh, I need to fix this. As long as it's a problem to you that needs fix, as long as you're not fixing it for anybody else, maybe a significant other, perhaps, if you're trying to find a middle ground, maybe. But if it's something that you want to remedy, that you think
01:04:37
Speaker
you can improve upon yourself in some way, then yeah, man, fucking run
New Year's Resolution
01:04:40
Speaker
with it, dude. I think that's awesome. Life happens outside your comfort zone, man. Absolutely. But you have to find your own gradual entrance into it. It helps a lot that this isn't something I feel like I have to fix. I'm not sitting there like, oh my God, my life is so awful. I never talk to anybody. I'm perfectly happy. I'm an only child, so I'm perfectly happy keeping myself entertained.
01:05:05
Speaker
But I was like, you know what, it would be cool if I just got myself out there more and talk to people a bit more and didn't just spend all my time alone or alone with my wife. Like actually got out there. I'm trying to get us to do some more stuff in our lives too. Like we went curling not too long ago. So many people go curling. Yeah, man. That's awesome. I mean, good for you. I think that's a great mentality.
01:05:30
Speaker
Yeah, good for you. I think I wish, you know, I'm very similar, but you know, that's a whole other discussion for another time. But I do think that that is a great mentality. Speaking of which, I actually have one more question if you got one more in you. Sure.
01:05:45
Speaker
Um, and so before we get to the last question, just for everybody, cause I think I'm going to try to change up the format slightly. Um, you know, uh, if you want to send questions in, cause I have gotten a few, uh, if you go to fun and sellers network.com and you go to where the store pages, uh, I think it's on pass the store page. I might be wrong. Cass might be mad at me, but she told me to talk about this more, but there's a little link called speak pipe. You can click on it to send us a message. So if you have a question about like that, you want me to play on the show or that you want me to listen to an answer or.
01:06:15
Speaker
If you just want to say hi, you know, they are fielded. So if you're going to say something vulgar, it's not going to make it. So don't do it. But we would love to hear from you. We've been getting a few. So it'd be nice to hear some more. And if you want to send any questions, go to role players win on Twitter. That's that's me. Or if you want to say hi to Danny, Danny, you're on Twitter, ain't you?
01:06:33
Speaker
Uh, well, no, not really. Oh, no, you're not. No, you're the role players, the role players guild, which is on Twitter. Uh, we do D and D streams. And, uh, I am also, I am going to try and stream more often at Danny underscore guarantee. So feel free to drop by, ask me anything, ask me things on the role players, guild, um, Twitter. It's very easy to remember cause it's just the role players like these guys, but the guild.
01:07:00
Speaker
Yeah. Version. Find one of us and look for their followers on their followers list and find the other one for pretty easy. Yeah. Once you find one of us, you'll probably find all of us. Yeah, likely. We're all kind of in a little niche. Niche. Niche. Niche. Niche, right? I always say. Yeah. I just kind of want to drop it in there because we'd love to hear from you. I'm trying to be a little bit better about... 2023 is for me is what I call my New Year's resolution. I'm looking to ask more
01:07:27
Speaker
I want from people and it would be really great to hear from you so reach out on twitter or say hi to the speak pipe it be really cool and stop by and say hi to danny's getting that stream back up and running so you know coming to get out more so ask me things making me interact with people ama ask me hey there you go alright so our final question comes from reddit which is from someone by the name of national salt fifty four eleven.
Challenges of Adulthood
01:07:54
Speaker
And their question is, how do I be an adult? Which kind of ties into what we were talking about a little bit. So they ask, they say my mom has babied me my entire life. Today I brought it up with her and she snapped at me. I just want to be independent, but I really don't know how and she won't teach me. I don't know how to find a job. I don't know how to eventually get an apartment. I feel like I don't know anything.
01:08:16
Speaker
So they're looking for like some tips, which again, this is a pretty, pretty big question. So it's not one I think that we can answer like succinctly, but I think there are ways to kind of, you know, you've already taken like a step, right? To recognize like, God, I don't know how to do anything. Right. You know, so like, that's what a lot of it is. I mean, yeah. So what do you think? I think the biggest thing to understand when it comes to being an adult is
01:08:40
Speaker
there is no right way to do it. There is no real, as long as you're not hurting yourself or others, there's no real wrong way to do it. You do it your way. And it's something like I had to struggle a lot with. I like to stream. I like to voice act. I like to do a lot of very artsy things. I come from a family of business people. So there was a whole lot of the whole of like,
01:09:09
Speaker
Oh, well, drawing and voice acting and things like that. Those are great hobbies, but those aren't jobs. And that's a mold that I've had to work very hard to kind of get myself out of. And it helped a lot that my wife was a film major. She was trying to get a job at the time in an artsy kind of place. But I'm going off on a tangent.
01:09:36
Speaker
You just got to take it one step at a time. And Google is your friend. And there are no stupid questions on the internet. If you need help finding a place to live, Google. How do I find an apartment? Look for a very easy to read example on where you can look. There are websites, listing websites that have all these different places and then just start talking to them.
01:10:05
Speaker
Places like Reddit, honestly, have been good resources for things like that. Explain Like I'm Five is one of my favorite subreddits because it's just easy to understand. I don't do well with tech lingo.
01:10:23
Speaker
Like you could answer a blood type question on Reddit with, explain like I'm five. I did. I think I did once. That surprises me not. But the main thing for being an adult is really just identifying what you need and taking it one step at a time. Put them in order. What do I need the most right now?
01:10:48
Speaker
put them in order and just break it down into manageable chunks. Don't just say, I need money or I need a job. Say like, okay, I need a job. I need to look for a job. I need to figure out what kind of job I like or want to do. What kind of pay do I need?
01:11:06
Speaker
If a list seems too big and unmanageable, break it down into manageable chunks and do one or two chunks a day. That's it. Take it one step at a time, one day at a time, and the next thing you know, you'll have all your ducks in a row and you'll be an adult.
01:11:20
Speaker
Yeah for me smart goals are huge like i'm like especially like goals i've been very big about setting goals that are measurable that are time sensitive because i think those are the ones that like people typically drop by accident so like when you said like i need money well how much money do you need for what do you need it and like at what time frame do you want to make x amount of money.
01:11:44
Speaker
But or is it i need a job it's like okay well that's something measurable you know you get a job you can you have job but you say okay i'm gonna try to apply to. Five different jobs tonight you know before i go to bed like that's a measurable thing did you accomplish that task before you went to bed did you check off all five things you apply to five places if you didn't that doesn't mean that you fail that means you get to try again tomorrow but you can say okay well i got three out of five that looked interesting to me.
01:12:11
Speaker
At least you got something done if you say i can look for a job what you gonna do is gonna go craigslist you gonna go on indeed you gotta go whatever and you're gonna surf and think that you're not good enough for that job or that you're not qualified for that job that your resume is not updated or whatever real. And then you're just gonna keep scrolling and get nothing done you know like real to me. Yeah i mean it's but it's true i can i say this because i've lived it and so like.
01:12:40
Speaker
For me, I have something else I want to say in regards to the definition of being an adult, but as far as setting goals is concerned, I think for me, measurability is so huge because I have struggled to accomplish goals until I set a number.
Podcasting Goals and Strategies
01:12:57
Speaker
My first big goal during the pandemic, because I knew the world was shutting down. It was looking that way. I resolved January 1st, 2020.
01:13:05
Speaker
I'm going to record fifty two episodes of shares a lot is the podcast i was thinking about doing and i got the name on a random conversation with a friend of mine who said boy addam you should you share a lot about yourself and i just heard the word share a lot is like sir shares a lot and i just tweak it from there like.
01:13:23
Speaker
But like, I went to shares a lot and 52 episodes I recorded. No, I didn't do one every week for every week I some I batch recorded. But the goal wasn't to do one a week, it was to have 52 episodes for every week. And I did that over the course of about five to six months, I recorded 52 separate episodes of shares like actually a few more than that.
01:13:43
Speaker
What that was how i can measure how am i doing you know i'm at thirty episodes and i've got eight months left in the year i'm doing really well i'm doing it you know i got easier the more i kept doing it. Again not everybody works that way but i do believe that you have to have.
01:13:59
Speaker
at least, if nothing else, a measurable thing that you can put a number on. If a number doesn't make sense, then put a timeframe on, a month, two weeks, five days, by the end of the day, something that you can track. You need that. Going off of that, something I've noticed is a lot of adulting is figuring out the best way to
01:14:24
Speaker
set goals and problem solve that works for you. So, Adam, you were just saying, you know, you wanted you set a long term goal. I want 52 episodes done within this year. For me, that wouldn't work as well. I'd find myself procrastinating. I'd start getting anxious about it. But for me, it would actually be easier to say, I'm going to do one at least one or more episodes per week. And I would actually
01:14:55
Speaker
I would make a checklist of each week and what I want the episode to be on and check it. Because for me, it helps a lot if I have a checklist that I can look at and cross things off and be like, that is done. It reminds me I'm making progress. And it feels good. It feels so good to check something off. You're like, yeah, fucking did it.
01:15:16
Speaker
You know, I love that. A big thing is to find what works for you. Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong way to figure out how to adult. It's just you do the best you can in a way that works for you and that allows you to, you know, live hopefully comfortably, ideally. You don't need to be a millionaire. You don't need to make it big. As long as you got enough money to have what you want,
01:15:45
Speaker
in a nice place, that's perfect for me.
Defining Personal Success
01:15:50
Speaker
Yeah, and I think just to kind of flip back around to just the idea of like, I feel like I don't know anything. She won't teach me. I don't know how to be an adult, like the main question. How do I be an adult? Like that definition, kind of what you were saying, like what works for you is all dependent on what you define as happiness or success. When I was in 12th grade at the beginning of an economics class,
01:16:20
Speaker
my teacher, Mr. B, put a phrase up on a definition of a word up on the wall. He said, everybody write this down on a note card and tuck it into your binder. At the end of the year, we're going to look at this, but before we do, I'm going to quiz you on what the definition of this word is. It was the word success. The definition he wrote down was the progressive realization of personal predetermined and worthwhile goals.
01:16:42
Speaker
And I remembered it because I was like, oh, you think I'm not going to remember Mr. B, but by the end of the year, I'm going to know. And he didn't warn us on the very last day of school before we all exited. He goes, hey, who can tell me what the definition of success is? And man, I crushed it. I was so good. But something he pointed out at the end of it, he goes, and I remember him saying, but success is, he said, focus on the personal part.
01:17:07
Speaker
You know like everything is particular to the person setting the goals for success. You know goals are part of success but like it's about what you define as you know that goal so success is defined by you so you know if you think.
Adulting and Personal Responsibility
01:17:22
Speaker
being an adult is having an apartment and having a job, then hey, man, you got two bullet points already. That's huge. Already kind of knowing where you're going, at least something to shoot for, that's it. But if you become unproductive because you're like, well, no one taught me, so I'm not going to try, well, then you only have yourself to blame. Because again, you live in an age where if you can post a question on Reddit, you've taken a step just to ask some strangers on the internet to maybe give you advice.
01:17:50
Speaker
Is it all going to be good advice? Probably not. Because that is what adults do. They ask for help. There's nothing wrong with it. So really, you know, being an adult and success and having a wonderful life is all dependent on you. Like, you may have kids, you may not, you may get married, you may, you may not, you may travel or you won't, you know, you may never leave your hometown or maybe you'll get as far away from it as you want. You know, like, it's really up to you. And as long as you truly feel
01:18:19
Speaker
comfort and happy and loved with what you're doing, then that's up to you. As Danny said earlier, and something I truly believe, as long as you're not hurting anybody or yourself, then who am I to tell you what to do? Don't do anything that you know is going to impact somebody else's life in a terrible way, or your own. Don't hurt others to help yourself. Don't become a hateful incel because you haven't succeeded in life. My whole thing is, at the end of the day, when I'm on my deathbed,
01:18:49
Speaker
I want to look back at my life and I want to be happy with what I see. That is my entire mantra for life. It's simple. It doesn't constrain me. It's just, I want to be happy. I recognize that this is my one life. I don't want to climb the career ladder up to the point where I'm working 80 hour weeks and then I'm on my death bed like, man, I wish I spent more time at home. I don't want to.
01:19:19
Speaker
be a burden on everybody and sit on my deathbed and think, oh man, everybody probably hated having me around. I just want to look at my life at the end and be happy with it. And that's really all you need to do is just every day, one step at a time, do what makes you happy. Do what you have to do to live, obviously, but just you got your one life. Spend as much of it as you can doing things that make you happy.
01:19:47
Speaker
Yep. And just as a quick aside, a lot of people, I used to work in a nonprofit organization that helped people find resources. And I learned a lot about resources that I didn't even know were available. You know, and a big part of, you know, if you are struggling, or if you do need help, or if you don't really know who to turn, and this is for anybody, whether you don't know how to be an adult, or if you're a struggling adult that doesn't know how to
01:20:11
Speaker
survive and keep your head above water anymore. There are organizations out there that are constructed to help people in those situations. Most of the time, you can get in. I don't know if the rest of the country has this. I haven't done a lot of research, but I know at least here on PA, if you dial 211 or if you go to 211.org, you can search your city, your county,
01:20:33
Speaker
And this two on one company their whole stick is to. Funnel you two places that apply to what you're seeking whether it's you need food benefits or if you need help with paying your electricity or if you need to find classes on like getting your ged.
01:20:50
Speaker
or whatever it may be like there are programs out there that are designed specifically to help people who don't know where to go so don't be afraid of that like there's nothing wrong with using those services if you need them right but learn to wean yourself off of them because sometimes what happens is like
01:21:08
Speaker
You become so reliant upon it the same way you may be reliant upon your mother or your father, your uncle, whoever it is you stay with. You need to eventually learn how to fly on your own, but those are there to help hold you up just like your friends if you have them or your family who wants to support you until you can start walking on your own.
01:21:26
Speaker
Don't be afraid to look at those, and they may tell you, hey, you know what? You're not in a situation that this applies to you, but this may be. Then take advantage of that, but make sure that if they give you a plan that you stick with it, because I've seen a lot of people who I direct to these services who use them, abuse them, and then run away from them when they get what they need because they don't want to commit to a plan.
01:21:49
Speaker
As long as you commit to the plan, set those smart goals, following a passion of something that you define as what's going to make you happy, that way you can live with at least the amount of regrets in your life. There's nothing wrong with being somebody who wants to live and taking advantage of services that are there to help you do just that. There's never anything wrong with asking for help as long as you need to.
01:22:09
Speaker
absolutely not you know so you know there's nothing I mean you took this person took a step by at least going to reddit you know maybe they're too awkward to ask somebody in person so they asked you know they asked online hoping to get a good answer maybe you got some good advice maybe you didn't but the fact that you're at least asking is a start just don't stop there don't think to yourself like oh the reddit thread didn't work out so I guess I'm screwed you know and you know what it's it's not
Social Media's Impact on Perception
01:22:37
Speaker
It's a hard world. We live in hard times. We do. Let's be real for a second. We live in hard times. If you need help adulting because it feels like it's way too much, that's because it's a lot. It's not like it's something easy that you're not getting. It's
01:23:01
Speaker
It's almost like I've noticed this a lot because I'm getting to that age where all of my friends or extended family and stuff are all having children. You always think your parents knew what they were doing. You always think parents know in general what they're doing. They do not. They're winging it. They're doing the best they can every day and adulting is the same way. It's a bunch of people that look like they know what they're doing.
01:23:28
Speaker
just winging it, doing the best they can. Yeah. Everything you see on a Facebook video or an Instagram video or a blog post, people are just trying to put the part that they're proud of for people to see, but you don't know the struggles they're having that led to those things eventually. A lot of people that you may see, people you idolize on TV or on YouTube that you want to be just like, if you think that they have no problems, you're out of your mind.
01:23:58
Speaker
Everybody, like Danny said, everybody's just doing... I always say with my parents, I know that they did the best that they thought that they could do with what they had. They had way more potential than they had, but that was what they thought their potential was at the time. For whatever their struggles, for whatever their downfalls and everything that happened post and pre, that's what they thought was the best that they could do. But ultimately,
01:24:23
Speaker
You can see the guy in the fancy suit or the lady driving a nice car or whatever it is that you think is success. They may be happy, but that doesn't mean that they are without their struggles. Something that really helped me was one of my uncles when I was a kid went back to college when he was in his 40s. As a little boy, I thought that was weird. I'm like, what are you going back to school for? Why do you need to do that? The first thing he said was, well, I like learning.
01:24:51
Speaker
He's like, I know that there's a lot that I don't know. I'll never forget him saying, I just like learning. Eventually, he liked learning so much that he became a teacher there at the college five years later after getting his degree. That's awesome. I haven't kept touch with him in a really long time, but I remember even now as a 34-year-old man thinking,
01:25:14
Speaker
Whenever I feel humbled where I think I should really have my life together, there's parts of me that really think like, I'm not living where I want to live. I don't have the job that I want.
01:25:22
Speaker
People live to be 80 years old now, dude. My boss at the dance studio is pushing 90 and he still dances waltz like a fucking machine. If you take care of yourself enough that you can keep pursuing the things you want, man, crash with confidence. That's what I say. Fuck up as many times as you can. As long as you learn from it and you try to do better the next time around,
01:25:45
Speaker
You know, like, I see it as a challenge. It's like playing Dark Souls in real life. It's like, you know, life's gonna kick my ass a bunch, but as long as I don't stay down, like, I'm gonna make it, I'll be okay. You know, and you will be too, as long as you just, I know it's easier said than done, but ask for help. You know, reach out to the people that love you. Don't think that you're burdened on them. If they say, hey, reach out to me, then fucking do it. You know, but like, just know that you don't have to stack yourself up against anybody else. You're in a race against yourself, and that's it.
01:26:13
Speaker
If you feel like you've come out a little bit better than you were yesterday, then you're winning. Don't let your past self win. Be better than you were yesterday. That's all you got to do. And then like Danny said, just as long as you're doing what makes you happy, you're not hurting yourself or anybody else, then you're doing well, man. You're doing it. Actually, I want to swing us back a bit, just a bit to what you were saying on Facebook and all these other social medias where you have to remember you're looking at only the best moments. Yup.
01:26:45
Speaker
Life pro tip, morning, whatever. Don't underestimate how much that affects you. I actually stopped using Facebook and all social media completely a couple of years ago because I was drowning in the feeling that my life was awful compared to everyone else's. Everybody else is posting pictures of vacations. I just got laid off. Somebody else is posting a picture about how they got a promotion. I'm looking for jobs.
01:27:15
Speaker
And it's so easy to not only lose yourself in that mentality of like, oh, I have it, I must be doing something wrong because everybody else has these great lives and I'm struggling, but it's also so easy to forget or not realize that that's happening. Honestly, I think it would do a lot of people a favor
01:27:43
Speaker
and take the advice if you want, if you don't know hard feelings, step away from all social media for a week. Just one week, stop looking at what other people are doing, stop looking at only the good parts of their lives, and you will start to see that everybody is kind of struggling just as much as you are. And it really does a lot to help your self-esteem to know that you're not alone.
01:28:09
Speaker
Yeah, because that really is at the end of the day, everybody, everybody is
Resilience and Overcoming Failure
01:28:15
Speaker
struggling. And when the pandemic shut the world down, that was a really big eye opener to see that these are all people just like everybody, whether it's a famous person, your cousin, your uncle, your friend, who just moved to California to pursue their acting career, whatever it may be. None of that is without struggle. And that's what makes people shine is that
01:28:37
Speaker
They can be told no, they can be rejected, they can fail, and they just keep getting up and going back out. All those most inspirational movies you've ever watched, that's not all fake. That comes from a real place. That's what makes people inspiring. You don't need to be famous. Danny was saying, you don't got to climb the corporate ladder if you don't want to. At the end of the day, you just have to find where you're
01:29:01
Speaker
what you need. Not all of us need mansions or sporty cars or shiny rings or to have 100,000 subscribers on fucking TikTok to be validated. You don't need that. Find your spot. That's right.
01:29:20
Speaker
Boy, Danny, I feel like you and I could talk to this shit forever, man. Absolutely. We could go for a while. You're like, oh, some episodes are 45 minutes. I'm looking. We're like, oh, there's an hour and a half. Yeah, I think my longest one, I think my longest one with three people and it was like an hour and five or something like that. But it's all good. It's good that we can talk about these things openly. So I appreciate the discussion. So we talked a bit today. We talked about, you know,

And again, please go talk to Danny on Danny underscore guarantee on the on the twitches and the role players guild as well. A lot of great people there. Yeah, questions.
01:30:33
Speaker
Please, please do. Just before we have Danny send us out with some words of wisdom, I just want to make sure that I'm asking for something that I think is important. If you're on Spotify, they have the review button now. If you like this show or if also you like role players, if you found your way here, you might also know role players. Please review it. It would mean a lot to me. We also have a pod chaser if you want to go there.
01:30:58
Speaker
Please rate it. It kind of helps us get some more traffic, so that would be really great if you would do that. It would mean a lot. If you listen to an hour and a half of us talking wax and poetic over here, you must like the show. We must have done something right. We must have done something great, so please, it really helps us get more traction if you would just give it a little review. Thank you for considering that. Even if you don't, thanks for listening. Now, having said that, is there anything else before you end the show, Danny, that you want to say before you send us out? I think I'm ready to impart some words of wisdom.
01:31:28
Speaker
Okay, well, here's Danny. We talked a lot about today. We talked a lot today about helping people change, you know, how we love to help people get, live their happiest lives and all that. And everybody wants to be able to change the world. But you have to remember to keep your goals manageable. So I want you to go out and I want you to do something nice for one person a day.
01:31:55
Speaker
because for that one day, for that one person, you did change their world.
