Episode 9

Transcript:

00:00:00
Welcome to Comically Exposed, episode nine. I am Heather.

00:00:12
And I'm Gabbie. And welcome again to our episode.

00:00:18
Done it. Did it. You're welcome to people. You're welcome. So yeah. So before this podcast,

00:00:29
Heather and I have been talking about OCD and other mentals and stuff like that. I know

00:00:35
you're all shocked. But this particular episode is going to be a little different from our

00:00:42
normal episodes. We're going to talk about like intentions, I guess, for next year.

00:00:53
Or now. Because now it's next year.

00:00:56
All right. How does time work again?

00:01:00
We're recording in 2023. But this is for 2024.

00:01:05
Yes. Yes. Correct. So I do have some like check in stuff that I want to talk about

00:01:13
from last episode. Okay. Does that sound good?

00:01:17
Yeah, go for it. Cool. Okay. So now that I said that, you know,

00:01:25
I think of it, okay. There are a couple of things on the horizon for me, which I'm, I'm

00:01:32
going to say excited about, which is one, somebody from my aqua aerobics class said

00:01:38
that her friend is starting a theater group and that I should contact them. So I have

00:01:43
and they're putting on a play and there's two female parts. So I'm looking at both of

00:01:49
them today and then I'm going to sign up for an audition and then that'll happen.

00:01:55
And unfortunately, I don't think I can make any of the rehearsals, but this is kind of

00:02:00
like, it goes to my pattern of rejecting things before they even actually happened. So instead

00:02:09
of rejecting it outright and avoiding, I'm going to do the actual audition and then,

00:02:16
you know, let the chips fall where they may. So that's how it's happening.

00:02:20
Congratulations. Yeah, that's awesome. Thank you. Thank you. And then the other thing

00:02:23
about it is the place where they're having the play and the auditions is a theater kind

00:02:30
of close by and like a suburban area. And I'm thinking, Oh, that might be great to rent

00:02:37
out and put on my own night of, you know, comedy stories about people, you know, navigating

00:02:48
the health system and the hilarity that comes from fighting with insurance companies and

00:02:58
doctors and everything to get the adequate health care that you need. So, yeah.

00:03:03
Oh, that's perfect. Yeah. You mentioned wanting to do that and this, yeah, it's cool that

00:03:08
you found a venue. That's a great next step. I know. So now I just got to figure out, you

00:03:14
know, how much it is and all that jazz, but I'm kind of excited about it because, you

00:03:19
know, with my last run in with Oakland, I'm a little reticent to have a night of theater

00:03:25
out there for parking reasons and others. So this is like, you know, it may not be close

00:03:33
to public transportation, but people with cars should be able to go there and find easy

00:03:37
parking and their cars will be safe and all that stuff. So, yeah, I think those are my

00:03:45
two things. How about you? Any updates? Any comedy things you want to talk about?

00:03:51
Yeah. I think we recently talked about this and I was opting to not talk about it, but

00:03:58
I'm starting to think maybe I will talk about it and then if I don't like it, then I'll

00:04:02
just cut it out. So I recently completed a humor writing class and I wasn't feeling great

00:04:14
about myself about it because even though it was a four week course, I missed two of

00:04:19
the classes because one, internet was down and I couldn't even go. And then two, I was

00:04:26
on the second class, I was battling a really bad bout of insomnia and I basically passed

00:04:33
out and I couldn't go. And I felt kind of like a shit, you know, like I shouldn't have

00:04:39
signed up and I wasn't very, I was being critical of myself essentially. And I showed up to

00:04:48
the final class with a piece that I've been editing on and off for the last few weeks.

00:04:55
And I couldn't enjoy the fact that it actually performed better than I thought because editing

00:05:02
it, even though I do like the editing process, for some odd reason I was clouded in judgment

00:05:09
the entire time I was editing the piece and I couldn't hear praise for some odd reason

00:05:17
in class. And I was actually having an OCD slash social anxiety episode during class,

00:05:25
which was not fun and found myself dissociating and trying to ground myself because it is

00:05:34
a very, when it happens, you don't really know what's happening until it, at least for

00:05:39
me, it just sounds like you can't hear anybody. And then you're not there, you know, you see

00:05:45
things, but you're just like, I don't know what's happening. I don't, you know, it's

00:05:50
kind of like the Charlie Brown teacher voice or adult voices where people don't make sense

00:05:55
in your mind, you know, and you don't know what's happening. And so I try to ground myself,

00:06:01
but then on top of that, I was being extremely self-critical because I felt like I was not

00:06:06
giving enough notes. And so of course I was telling myself, you know, you're a piece of

00:06:10
shit and you're not giving enough notes. I know, I know. And everybody else deserves

00:06:17
notes because you got too many notes because you went second and you shouldn't have gone

00:06:21
second because you don't deserve it. And well, as long as you're keeping score, that's what's

00:06:25
important. I know. And so realizing right now it's totally irrational, but you know,

00:06:31
that's OCD for you. And so in the middle of the whole thing, I end up just saying things,

00:06:40
which ended up just sounding like facts instead of being helpful. And of course I was criticizing

00:06:46
myself. And then when we were done with class, I basically spent an hour or two trying to

00:06:51
stop myself from doing compulsions to not feel bad. And basically it lasted for a couple

00:06:59
days of just kind of feeling awful for some odd reason. And I realized that maybe nobody

00:07:05
notices that any of this is happening or maybe they did. I mean, that's the other thing,

00:07:11
you know, is like realizing that people can notice that things are happening. But inside

00:07:17
I was just feeling very like things were feeling a little bit, I don't know how to say it.

00:07:22
It's like as if it's like on not on solid ground. I don't know if that makes sense.

00:07:28
It just feels like I'm just kind of like teetering on something. And so it's just

00:07:35
yeah, it doesn't feel great. And so I just wanted to say that it's not an excuse to say

00:07:42
it, but it's just like in the moment I know I don't know what I'm saying in my head right

00:07:47
now that I'm like saying out loud. I'm criticizing my criticism.

00:07:51
That's that part that I was wondering. Yeah. But here's the thing though. I think that's

00:07:57
so legit and speaks to our podcast in general, which is OCD is a sneaky little witch and

00:08:09
and the self doubt and the self criticism just seems to be her best friend and you know,

00:08:15
shows up and then you judge yourself for judging yourself for being critical. And then you

00:08:20
try and figure out well, what was the right thing that I should have said in the moment,

00:08:23
I guess, or whatever it is, but it just becomes like such a tornado of just feelings and thoughts,

00:08:34
compulsions, urges, all of the above. And I agree with you can be I don't know that

00:08:41
I necessarily disassociate, but it does start to pull you away from what is actually happening

00:08:47
around you in the moment. Yeah, it does.

00:08:53
And that's that was the other judge too for myself was I wasn't being present enough.

00:08:58
Right. Oh, so that's good that you were as long as you were critical from all angles

00:09:04
and you know that you've done it right. As long as there is. I think Maria Bamford talks

00:09:10
about her family doing like whack-a-mole, but with joy. And so it's like you bring something

00:09:15
pleasant to the group and they figure out how to whack it all the joy out of it. And

00:09:20
that's like what you're playing whack-a-mole of joy, but by yourself with yourself.

00:09:25
Yeah, I'm really good at that. Yeah, it's a talent.

00:09:29
Yeah, exactly. I like to say that my strongest muscle is my self-criticism. And I also think

00:09:36
it really in talking about this podcast, maybe this is too meta, but it really walks a line

00:09:43
of saying all the awful things that are being said to myself in my head because that is

00:09:51
my reality. Right. I could present that like, hey, I'm doing great and everything's awesome

00:09:56
and whatever. And then I feel like I'm not being truthful about my experience. Right.

00:10:03
Yes. Or I can say all the awful things that are being said to myself and put them out

00:10:09
there and then people are like, oh, you're really hard on yourself. And it's like, yeah,

00:10:15
I know. And it's like, I don't mean to bum people out by it, but it's also kind of like

00:10:22
my lived experience. And I do wonder if it's, I don't know about you, but before I had the

00:10:28
OCD diagnosis, people would tell me kind of, I would say like, oh, I have all these really

00:10:34
negative thoughts and I can't shake them or whatever. And then they would be like, oh,

00:10:38
well then just think positively. Yeah. I was going to say that. Yeah. It's like, uh huh.

00:10:51
If I had control over my thoughts, you think that I would be struggling right now? No,

00:10:57
because I would have control over my thoughts. And it just, I know it wasn't people's intention,

00:11:04
but it felt to me as though they think that I'm being lazy or contributing to my own downfall

00:11:14
in some way, which I'm sure that I am on some part, but anyway. Yeah, no, I feel the same

00:11:22
way. I mean, I haven't recently expressed all the negative emotions in my head to going

00:11:30
to this particular psychiatrist to really start to share thoughts. Cause I tend to keep

00:11:39
things positive because that's what I was always taught. You know, that nobody wants

00:11:43
to hear any of the other stuff. And that's the other thing that I just recently learned

00:11:48
was, and I don't remember the term, but it's the term of like, of changing the thought

00:11:57
into a positive thought. Like it's like a swap, but it's almost like an avoidance issue

00:12:04
where if you swap the thought, you know, it's, it becomes, but it doesn't make it any better.

00:12:09
No, this is like, I, uh, you know, I had this really great therapist and then she was going

00:12:16
on sabbatical for six months. So I had to find a new one. And I went to somebody who

00:12:20
was part of the CBT school, cognitive behavioral therapy school here in the Bay area. And that

00:12:26
was her thing. She was like, okay, so you're going to write down all the negative thoughts,

00:12:30
which first of all, I was like, girl, there is not enough time in the day for me to be

00:12:34
able to write down every single negative thought. Are you out of your mind? Like that's probably

00:12:39
50 thoughts truly. Right. And then she was like, and then you're going to write like

00:12:45
a response to each thought based on like reality and evidence showing why that thought is incorrect

00:12:52
or whatever. And I was like, okay. And I tried it, but you know what it did? It brought up

00:12:57
more thoughts of negativity. And so then now that I have this dope therapist from, uh,

00:13:04
no CD, he's like, oh yeah, that's just giving fuel to the fire. Right. So he's like, if

00:13:12
you engage with the negative thoughts and say like, this is why you're wrong. That's

00:13:18
just giving them more attention and it's just going to like empower the thoughts to come

00:13:23
up more and stronger. And so instead, you know, it's, I mean, other, there are plenty

00:13:29
of other methods. You and I were talking about some of my favorites before the podcast, which

00:13:35
is one, you just don't engage. You ground yourself. You pay attention to what's actually

00:13:39
happening in front of you. And then my favorite, which was just sing it out loud, whatever

00:13:45
the negative thought or criticism that's coming in, you just sing out like, I'm the absolute

00:13:51
worst and there's never been anybody worse than me. And everybody hates me and I'm gonna

00:13:57
die alone. You know, the classics and, and once you say it out loud, like there is something

00:14:06
to it where it's like, it gets it out of the body, it gets it out of the head and it makes

00:14:10
it a real statement that you can look at in the light and say like, okay. And I don't

00:14:15
even have to engage with it anymore to be like, wait a minute, you know, Stalin killed

00:14:20
10 million of his own people. So am I on par with Stalin as far as like terrible people,

00:14:27
you know, like I don't even have to do that because as soon as I see or say the thing

00:14:32
out loud, it's like, oh, you know what, I can move on in my day. Yeah, yeah. It's, it's

00:14:42
the, it's the well-meaning, well-intentioned people that don't understand disordered thinking,

00:14:49
at least in OCD. And, and yeah, I've, I've recently read something because you know,

00:14:55
Instagram gives you, you know, like here's a person that you might follow. And I saw

00:15:00
one of her videos and she basically made this claim with OCD. I think it was with OCD because

00:15:06
I was just so appalled by it that, that 10% of it is true. Yeah. Right. And it's like,

00:15:14
okay, what does that do to benefit anybody? I know, because the first thing that I was

00:15:18
taught is don't give it a number, just say maybe. Yes, exactly. Make it ambiguous. Yeah.

00:15:25
Yes, I know. And it's, yeah. Oh, Instagram. And from what I hear, TikTok is just full

00:15:32
of very, let's just say uninformed advice across the board from everything from geopolitics

00:15:43
to self-help, some mental health care to nutritional supplements, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Everything

00:15:50
wants to be a cult of something. Yeah. And I'm trying to be flexible in the sense of

00:15:57
thinking because, you know, there are other ways of, there are other ways that are being

00:16:02
explored with OCD as well in terms of therapies. But I know right now the things that I've

00:16:07
learned are the first time that I've actually had a better understanding of myself and not

00:16:12
going through a lot of cycling. You know, it's like, you know, like the difference between

00:16:17
talk therapy and ERP act, you know, like is, yeah, it's like seven years of therapy, talk

00:16:25
therapy versus a few years of ERP and ACT have been very different for me. Yeah. Exponentially

00:16:33
more helpful. Yes. Yes. I had a similar experience as well. Yeah, it's amazing. You know, people

00:16:40
who are like, well, therapy just isn't for me. I mean, listen, God bless. But also I

00:16:46
want to say, do you know how many different types of therapy there are out there? Yes.

00:16:51
You know, like so many. Yes. And ones that are physical too. Oh, and this brings me to,

00:16:58
you and I were talking about the practice, right? Oh, yes. Yes. And we don't have to

00:17:04
talk about it if you don't want to, but I also was coming up against this, which is,

00:17:08
you know, one of the ways that I recognized my depression was real over the past couple

00:17:13
months was because my usual practice of every day waking up and doing a guided meditation

00:17:19
and going to aqua aerobics five, six days a week and, you know, doing these, taking

00:17:26
my insomnia medication and trying to go to sleep at a normal time. And, you know, all

00:17:30
of that stuff was not helping. Right. Yeah. So then it was like, oh, crud. So then that's

00:17:38
why I'm in TMS, which by the way, if anybody cares, growing great. I am, I think next week

00:17:44
is my last week and I know. And so, yeah, so far so great. And I'm so thankful for it.

00:17:53
But do you have anything you want to talk about as far as practice? Yeah. Yeah. I was

00:17:59
noticing it's funny because it's, it's like, you forget to do things because you're like,

00:18:04
I feel better. I don't need to do that. Yes. Yes. A thousand percent. Yeah. So for a few

00:18:11
months I wasn't, wasn't doing my practice as, you know, rigorously, which is okay too.

00:18:17
Right. Cause you don't want to judge yourself for not having time to do something, but it

00:18:22
can kind of slip a little too much. You know, a week goes by and a month goes by and, you

00:18:27
know, then you're in November and wondering, why am I going through so many OCD loops?

00:18:34
And, and what's happening and why do things feel out of control? And, and then, you know,

00:18:42
it's December and you finally realize, oh, it's because I forgot to do the things that

00:18:49
I've been practicing. And yeah, it's, it's funny because I come back to it, but then

00:18:55
I go, I am okay. You know, it's not that bad. And then, and it's really, and the thing is,

00:19:01
like, I swear OCD waits, you know what I mean? Cause first of all, first of all, you're,

00:19:10
we don't use the word cured cause there's no cure of OCD. There is periods of recovery

00:19:17
and, you know, periods of struggle, I guess that's how I put it. And not all of that is

00:19:23
entirely in our control. The things that are in our control is like you said, the practice,

00:19:28
the doing exposures regularly, seeing a therapist, talking to people, whatever it is. And yeah,

00:19:36
and so OCD is so sneaky cause it's like you, you're, you've done a bunch of exposure therapy.

00:19:42
You're doing so much better. Like OCD keeps trying to pop up and run her same place. And

00:19:47
you're like, no, I see you. I'm just going to keep moving on with my day. And you're

00:19:51
like, oh, good for me. Look at me go. Right. And then you're like, you know what, what

00:19:56
is the problem? I mean, beyond like not doing the practice, sometimes I'll just be like,

00:20:01
it's just easier to do the compulsion just like real quick. Do you know what I mean?

00:20:06
Such a silly compulsion where I'm like, Oh, it just pops into my brain. Like if I walk

00:20:12
on the left side, something good is going to happen to me today. So I'm going to walk

00:20:14
on the left side of the sidewalk. And so I do it. And then the problem is that gives

00:20:19
OCD oxygen, at least for me. Yes. And it's sneaky. Cause then I, cause you don't see

00:20:26
your like, I don't know for me, I don't see my base eroding if I haven't done exposure

00:20:33
work for a couple of days or a month, or I haven't done my meditation or I haven't done

00:20:37
this or that. But then all of a sudden it's like a Wile E Coyote situation and I'm run

00:20:45
over the top of a cliff and I am in midair going like, you know what? Some's different.

00:20:51
Some, some's different. And then, you know, I look down and then it's like, no, there

00:20:57
I go crashing towards the ground. Yes. Yeah. That's exactly how it is. Because at first

00:21:04
you're like, Oh yeah, I'm self-aware that I'm doing this little compulsion to make me

00:21:10
feel less, you know, whatever the feeling is. And, and then after a while it's kind

00:21:17
of like you wake up and you're realizing that you Googled so many things. Yes. Um, and you're

00:21:24
like, what happened to the last hour and a half? Yeah. Yeah. Then you're going, Oh, was

00:21:32
I here the whole time? Like, what was I doing? And then for me, it's like, I have a hundred

00:21:39
tabs open and going, Oh, okay. Yeah. And then you're in that place and then something emotionally

00:21:44
difficult comes up like the holidays. Yes. And you're like, Oh, there is at least for

00:21:53
me, there is no safety set net under me currently that I build, you know, and now have neglected

00:21:59
or the safety net has a few holes. Yeah. And that's exactly what happened to me is I spent

00:22:08
a few months kind of, I guess, maybe avoiding doing my practices and thought, Hey, I'm a

00:22:15
normal person. Look at me. I can do normal things. And then, and then November hit, and

00:22:22
then all the feelings came out because there was a lot of things fraught with difficult

00:22:27
emotions and it kind of took me over. So, yeah. Yeah. So how are you doing now? You

00:22:37
feel like you are, have you started your practice again? Do you want to start it again? Do you

00:22:44
want to talk about it on the podcast? Yeah, I started meditating again, which is a good

00:22:51
thing. Yeah. And I do see my therapist next week on Monday. So I am glad that I see him

00:22:59
because I think I'm going to talk to him about some of the things that I've been going through.

00:23:04
And yeah, it's about coming back to practices and then maybe even using different ones to

00:23:11
kind of, because you know, that's what it is. It's about like the arsenal of tools, of tools.

00:23:16
Yeah. Because you don't know which tool is going to be effective. You know, you could

00:23:20
use the same tool over and over again, and it can work one time and it can not work the

00:23:24
next time. And that's the end. That's a part of uncertainty that we're trying to get our

00:23:29
brains to get used to. But the practice is like exercise for our brain. Yes. You know,

00:23:37
when those moments, those hard moments come, they're a little easier to deal with. 1000%.

00:23:43
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that you recognized, you know, the hard time or a struggle or OCD

00:23:53
coming back. And I'm glad that you're figuring out your tools and trying some stuff out.

00:24:01
That's all we can do. I'm trying it out. Which, you know, smooth transition. The new year

00:24:11
has just happened. And while you and I both are not, what was it, resolution people. Yeah.

00:24:24
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I never really am. I'm always like, that seems like constricting. But I'm

00:24:31
fine with, I mean, we talked about doing like goals or intentions or anything like that.

00:24:40
How do you feel? You got any intentions you want to spit out? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I did

00:24:48
want to say doing this podcast has been very helpful in terms of exposure because I tend

00:24:53
to like to keep to myself. Even though I want my work to be out there. Sometimes it's just

00:25:02
easier just to hide. And that's just where I live. Yeah. But this time I do want to expose

00:25:13
myself in a different way by intentionally submitting things and allowing kind of rejection

00:25:21
and failure to happen. Yeah. Often. I was just thinking the same thing for my intentions

00:25:29
too. Not to steal your thunder, but I was like. No. Yeah. Because I think we've talked

00:25:34
about our buddy Kelsey, who has a whole list of like putting, or I don't, it's weird to

00:25:43
call it a rejection list, but like, but she uses it as motivation, right? Yes. And I think

00:25:50
that's so flipping cool. It is. It is. And inspired by that, I think, I mean, it's a

00:25:58
little harder when you have a lot of things that you want to do that aren't really submittable.

00:26:03
So I was thinking that I would go after more things that were a little bit more submittable

00:26:09
to give more deadlines for myself. Nice. And just kind of be motivated to finish something.

00:26:16
Yeah. And submit to places that I've always wanted to submit to. So that's kind of where

00:26:21
I'm, that's where my head is at. That's great. I mean, deadlines give structure,

00:26:27
which you know, at least, yeah, my creativity really thrives with some structure. But then,

00:26:36
you know, you and I were talking about like rebelling also against structure. So it's

00:26:40
a fun little balance, but you know, left my own devices, I'll have a million sketch ideas

00:26:47
even written down in my phone and no sketches are written. So, you know, having a structure,

00:26:53
having a place to submit to, or a group of accountability or this podcast is very like

00:27:00
helpful, getting that stuff done. Yeah, it is. So what about you, Gabbie? Yeah, I'm kind

00:27:09
of on the same thing, which is both with comedy and in life, I'd like to put myself out there

00:27:17
more and be cool with rejection. So I don't know. I know we can only control ourselves

00:27:25
and I, you know, I can't control my reaction to something, but I've heard and I'm hoping

00:27:31
the more rejection I receive, the easier it is and the less personally I'll take it. So,

00:27:37
yeah, I don't know. No, I do know. I want to, I want to change a couple of things, like

00:27:44
not even with comedy, you know, I'm on this job search constantly because I'm tired of

00:27:50
being in education. I'm very burnt out about it. And the hours of being a tutor are such

00:27:58
that I can't do any open mics during the week because I don't get off of work until nine,

00:28:03
sometimes 10 at night. And that's a real bummer. So yeah, I want to apply for more things,

00:28:09
but not cold apply because that is not working for me. So I'm going to take people out, you

00:28:14
know, to coffee for picking their brain purposes. I don't know what the nomenclature is, but

00:28:21
yeah, that part. And also I really, along with this like night of healthcare stories,

00:28:31
I would like to do more of that. I would like to do more of instead of finding some place

00:28:38
to apply to, to have them reject me or not reject me or whatever it is. I would really

00:28:47
like to put on my own comedy night, you know? And so if this theater works out, that's fantastic.

00:28:55
Maybe it's cheap enough so that I can reach out to my buddies in the Bay area and be like,

00:29:00
great, we're putting on a comedy night. You know, what do you want to do? Or a variety

00:29:03
night, you know?

00:29:05
Yeah. No, that sounds great. I like that too. Like, I'm going to steal that. Great. I stole

00:29:13
yours. Mutual stealing. No, I mean, I like, I think we've talked about this before is

00:29:18
setting our own and making our own stuff without it being for something. And I think that is

00:29:27
a really good way of looking at it because sometimes you just have to create your own

00:29:32
stuff to kind of put it out there to let it exist and let it hang there.

00:29:38
Yeah. Yeah, man. Plus I really miss performing in person. I'm sick and tired of not having

00:29:50
people's attention.

00:29:51
You're like, look at me. Look at me.

00:29:57
Exactly. Exactly. Mom, mom, mom, watch this. Mom, look, I can do this dance. Is this cool?

00:30:06
Look. But really, like I miss improv. I miss all the things. So, you know, so fuck you

00:30:15
San Francisco Sketch Fest and put on my own. Suck it.

00:30:22
Gabbie's better San Francisco Sketch Fest.

00:30:25
That's the title. That's the title. I don't think there's any copyright infringement there.

00:30:31
I think it's fine. Even though mine starts with San Francisco Sketch Fest and then in

00:30:35
parentheses in like three times smaller font, Gabbie's own or something. Gabbie's better version.

00:30:43
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I'll get my lawyers on it, but I'm sure it's going to be fine.

00:30:49
Okay. Well, some other very cool things coming up this year. We're going to for the podcast,

00:30:57
we're going to try and interview some people because we have a lot of friends surprised

00:31:04
and we have a lot of friends who are in comedy or trying to get into comedy. And we have

00:31:10
a lot of friends who also struggle with OCD and in particular flavors that you and I don't

00:31:19
really have and have poo-pooed in the past. No, I'm just kidding. We just can't speak

00:31:26
to those. So they're going to come on and they're going to defend, you know, why contamination

00:31:32
is the best OCD to have, why religious scrupulosity is the coolest one in the bucket, you know?

00:31:39
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The classic internal OCD warfare that's existed for centuries.

00:31:46
Yeah. Because we need more. Yes. Thousand percent. Oh boy. Well, happy new year to you,

00:31:58
Heather. And happy new year to all our listeners. Yeah. Happy new year to you, Gabbie and to

00:32:02
all our listeners as well. May your mentals be good. May your new year be dope. And may

00:32:16
all your wishes, I don't know. Come true? Yeah. Is that a copyright thing? It might be. But

00:32:28
there's a caveat. Unless your wishes are mean, in which case stop it. Yeah. Stop those wishes.

00:32:35
Go put down your wishes, write them down someplace and write, give us 10 reasons why they should

00:32:40
not come true. CBT. Okay. Everybody do it. Yeah. All right. Well, I think we did it.

00:32:53
Yeah. I think this is a good way to end the podcast. I like alienating people. That's

00:33:02
right. So if you're still listening to this podcast, fuck you. You're a great human being
