00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:01.219
I'll let you do the intro,
00:00:01.719 --> 00:00:02.009
Okay.
00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:04.500
'cause you'll probably say it with a lot less fuck than I will.
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.839
I don't even know, I don't even know how to do this because it's just everything's shit.
00:00:09.769 --> 00:00:10.160
That's the
00:00:10.265 --> 00:00:10.669
All right.
00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:12.859
I think, actually, I think that is intro.
00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:18.289
We don't know how to do this because everything is shit and, uh, let's talk about it.
00:00:20.589 --> 00:00:21.160
I am Jamie.
00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:23.170
And I'm Rebecca.
00:00:24.789 --> 00:00:26.109
Welcome to the Burnout Collective.
00:00:28.865 --> 00:00:32.261
Welcome to the Burnout Collective, where we just remind you how.
00:00:32.761 --> 00:00:34.121
Shitty everything is in the world.
00:00:34.206 --> 00:00:41.206
we actually wanted to, I don't wanna come on here and do something performative, when it feels like that's what the rest of the world is doing.
00:00:41.506 --> 00:00:49.485
I just wanna come on here and say that yes, we also feel crazy and everyone is feeling crazy and it's okay if you don't have your shit together.
00:00:49.485 --> 00:00:50.746
'cause I don't think anyone does right now.
00:00:51.246 --> 00:00:51.485
yeah.
00:00:51.905 --> 00:00:53.045
And you're not alone.
00:00:53.136 --> 00:00:58.165
And we know every single day there's something new that's happening.
00:00:58.636 --> 00:00:59.896
something horrible happening.
00:01:00.496 --> 00:01:04.085
and we just wanted to address it because yeah, it's just hard.
00:01:04.596 --> 00:01:05.555
It's hard to pretend.
00:01:06.055 --> 00:01:10.975
So, and I don't think we're gonna say anything different that people haven't already said.
00:01:10.975 --> 00:01:12.986
I don't think we're gonna say anything.
00:01:13.066 --> 00:01:13.786
groundbreaking.
00:01:13.786 --> 00:01:22.506
But I just wanna normalize, I think that's the point of this, is we just wanna normalize that things are weird and we're being expected to exist in the world, like they're not,
00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:23.486
Which,
00:01:23.986 --> 00:01:24.796
and goodbye
00:01:25.296 --> 00:01:25.626
yeah.
00:01:26.406 --> 00:01:26.706
All right.
00:01:26.706 --> 00:01:27.396
Bye.
00:01:27.646 --> 00:01:33.346
It's been the past however many years now, but let's just start at, do you remember when they repealed Roe versus Wade?
00:01:33.990 --> 00:01:34.320
Yep.
00:01:34.365 --> 00:01:46.835
That day specifically, and I was at work and I had to just sit in meetings and pretend like, oh shit, everything, everything is different and terrible, and I'm expected to continue on.
00:01:47.206 --> 00:01:50.085
January 6th was the next time I remember that happening.
00:01:50.585 --> 00:01:55.025
You and I were saying, It's like millennials are like, Hey, where were you when nine 11 happened?
00:01:55.025 --> 00:01:57.286
Except now it's just been like, Hey, where were you when
00:01:57.661 --> 00:02:03.531
These 20 things, these just life changing events.
00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:04.911
It's, I mean, it's true.
00:02:04.911 --> 00:02:11.531
I mean, we, millennials have lived through so much more than any other generation.
00:02:12.631 --> 00:02:15.631
I say as a competitive millennial who's trying to win the game.
00:02:16.251 --> 00:02:16.640
just kidding.
00:02:17.140 --> 00:02:22.980
But yeah, nine 11, I can picture exactly where I was when that happened.
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:24.911
I was in, I was in high school.
00:02:25.411 --> 00:02:28.260
I was in my fashion and design class.
00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:30.811
'cause I went to vocational school for the first part of the day.
00:02:31.711 --> 00:02:35.971
and over the loudspeaker, like somebody came and it was just like, oh shit.
00:02:35.971 --> 00:02:38.211
Crash towers in New York.
00:02:38.271 --> 00:02:39.292
And then we're like, huh.
00:02:39.792 --> 00:02:48.671
And then next thing we know, like there's people going like room to room telling everyone what's happening and like wheeling into TV for so everyone to watch the news.
00:02:49.171 --> 00:02:52.741
Yeah, that was the last time we got excited to see a TV before we knew it was actually coming.
00:02:52.891 --> 00:02:56.192
Wheeling a TV through was like the best thing ever, and now we're like, why?
00:02:56.192 --> 00:02:57.361
Why is there a TV in here
00:02:57.842 --> 00:03:03.292
It's like, why can't this be like grade school where we're about to watch like Romeo and Juliet?
00:03:03.526 --> 00:03:06.736
So I was in third grade and my teacher turned on the television.
00:03:07.157 --> 00:03:09.526
It was when the Oklahoma City bombing happened
00:03:09.542 --> 00:03:12.556
Oh, see, I don't remember that specifically.
00:03:13.056 --> 00:03:14.287
and he was watching it.
00:03:14.787 --> 00:03:25.676
And just to show you how inappropriate this was to do, I remember freaking the fuck out because I knew my cousins lived in Oklahoma and I just thought they just blew up Oklahoma and I had no idea.
00:03:25.776 --> 00:03:28.431
just some casual midday trauma for third
00:03:28.667 --> 00:03:32.201
and it was so disturbing because, and it's like because you were in third grade, Yeah.
00:03:33.171 --> 00:03:33.382
Okay.
00:03:33.532 --> 00:03:33.651
Yeah.
00:03:33.651 --> 00:03:36.231
'cause your little mind couldn't handle exactly what they were seeing.
00:03:36.262 --> 00:03:36.831
Yeah, no,
00:03:37.417 --> 00:03:38.347
it was preparing you.
00:03:38.347 --> 00:03:40.296
It was preparing you For the millennial.
00:03:40.477 --> 00:03:41.072
The millennial life.
00:03:41.572 --> 00:03:41.752
yeah.
00:03:41.752 --> 00:03:45.931
And my friend Vivian she and I were talking, and she's a therapist.
00:03:45.991 --> 00:03:50.461
And, um, I was trying to explain to her, I was like, I don't think we're meant to take in.
00:03:51.437 --> 00:03:54.287
This many things

all at once, day after day after day.
00:03:54.377 --> 00:04:05.657
And people talk about becoming numb, and I think it's not that we don't care, I think it's that our brains have run out of the ability to react or
00:04:05.942 --> 00:04:08.222
Or deal with, we don't have time to deal with it.
00:04:08.372 --> 00:04:19.956
I was talking to my therapist this week about it, and I was like, we're actually gonna do podcast episode on this because we just think it's important and we can't just not say anything and talk about it.
00:04:20.675 --> 00:04:25.625
And that's what she said is you can't, we don't get a chance to recover because like.
00:04:26.286 --> 00:04:27.276
Recover and deal.
00:04:27.276 --> 00:04:30.456
there's no time to do that and heal.
00:04:30.956 --> 00:04:45.766
Not only that, then you have to go to work and try to push it out of the way mentally for at least five to six hours, to be somewhat productive because we have to pay our rent or our mortgage and we need insurance.
00:04:46.516 --> 00:04:50.675
Millennials don't have mortgages, Rebecca, please.
00:04:50.795 --> 00:04:50.944
true.
00:04:50.944 --> 00:04:52.625
You gotta wait till your, we gotta wait till our fifties.
00:04:53.524 --> 00:04:54.214
Forgot about that.
00:04:54.485 --> 00:04:57.115
No, but it's just having to push it away.
00:04:57.115 --> 00:05:01.644
But then also just sitting in meetings looking at each other, no one's saying anything.
00:05:02.144 --> 00:05:05.165
And then someone is like, I don't even know, something stupid was said.
00:05:05.165 --> 00:05:06.485
And they're just like, I don't fucking care.
00:05:06.485 --> 00:05:08.764
I don't care about your shitty weekend.
00:05:08.764 --> 00:05:09.334
I don't fucking care.
00:05:09.334 --> 00:05:11.404
I don't care because this is not important.
00:05:11.404 --> 00:05:14.045
And we're just sitting here pretending like this is the most important thing.
00:05:14.550 --> 00:05:16.475
It just makes, yeah, and it makes work.
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:17.170
Feel not important.
00:05:17.925 --> 00:05:30.024
I'm just thinking back to, I think it was just last year and I was having a conversation with you and you were like, do I just quit my job and Do you remember this?
00:05:30.654 --> 00:05:33.805
Yeah, do I just quit my job and just go set things on fire in the streets?
00:05:34.194 --> 00:05:34.435
Yeah,
00:05:34.935 --> 00:05:39.615
what, I mean my, we're always like, this is how you get Nazis.
00:05:39.615 --> 00:05:44.415
And I feel like sitting at my job and not doing anything is like complacency and like, well, this is how you get Nazis.
00:05:44.415 --> 00:05:46.694
You just sit there and you don't do anything.
00:05:46.935 --> 00:05:47.355
yeah.
00:05:47.855 --> 00:05:50.285
Well, this is how you get Nazis.
00:05:50.285 --> 00:05:50.735
I like.
00:05:51.235 --> 00:05:51.805
the rule though.
00:05:51.805 --> 00:05:52.939
And it's I didn't do it.
00:05:52.944 --> 00:05:54.185
I didn't devote my life to it.
00:05:54.185 --> 00:05:55.925
I did a thing on a weekend once.
00:05:56.014 --> 00:05:56.855
That's not helpful.
00:05:57.675 --> 00:06:02.654
what is the, what is the amount of things we need to do at all times to be.
00:06:03.154 --> 00:06:04.024
Not complicit.
00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:22.519
that's, that's the thing is that we, that drives us crazy and just makes us feel worse and we couldn't possibly, yes, we should be doing many things, but you can't be doing everything and you can't be doing something all the fucking time.
00:06:22.810 --> 00:06:27.339
My friend Scott calls his representative's office, I think literally every day.
00:06:28.154 --> 00:06:28.735
That's nice.
00:06:28.779 --> 00:06:30.459
like, no one answers the fucking phone.
00:06:30.970 --> 00:06:33.459
And when they do, I chew out an intern.
00:06:34.384 --> 00:06:35.535
Sorry, is this in Arizona?
00:06:36.175 --> 00:06:36.935
I just have to note.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.550
No, this is Pennsylvania.
00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:39.930
So he is no one answers the phone.
00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:41.879
And when they do, it's an intern.
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.100
And so I'm doing what they call your representative.
00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:46.420
Call your congress, call your senator.
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.540
They don't answer the fucking phone.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.519
They're hiding.
00:06:50.019 --> 00:06:55.009
So the conversations I'm having now is this means we need to go inward community wise.
00:06:55.009 --> 00:07:00.500
And I think that's actually what Minneapolis is doing focusing on your community and doing smaller things there because.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.730
I don't know what to do anymore.
00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:05.000
I think we have to just start relying on each other.
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.064
And I don't, I, this is why I was worried to have this podcast.
00:07:08.064 --> 00:07:09.084
'cause we don't have answers.
00:07:09.084 --> 00:07:11.904
But it's just a lot of us walking around going, I don't know what to do.
00:07:12.055 --> 00:07:13.014
I don't know what to do.
00:07:13.194 --> 00:07:14.694
And it's never gonna be enough.
00:07:15.144 --> 00:07:16.675
No, it will never feel like it's enough.
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.860
Truly that reminds me, like community.
00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:34.110
I was just talking to a friend of mine and she was telling me how someone, she knows a teacher at their kids' school was kidnapped on the way to work, on the way to teach children.
00:07:34.129 --> 00:07:34.574
Christ.
00:07:35.564 --> 00:07:36.495
Buy ice.
00:07:37.004 --> 00:07:47.904
And now a bunch of the parents at the school take shifts and go to the school to kind of like stand guard basically.
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.180
That's amazing.
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:50.490
That is amazing.
00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:51.889
But it's amazing.
00:07:51.889 --> 00:07:53.620
But it's also what the fuck?
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:54.550
Like what?
00:07:55.285 --> 00:07:55.884
No, that's true.
00:07:55.884 --> 00:07:56.274
This should.
00:07:56.589 --> 00:07:58.540
It shouldn't be happening like that.
00:07:58.569 --> 00:08:11.790
It, we shouldn't have to do that kinda shit, but like you do, I saw a woman with, a megaphone in a Home Depot parking lot saying, Hey, they have cameras, that they share with ice.
00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:13.100
Home Depot.
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:13.639
What the fuck?
00:08:13.865 --> 00:08:15.064
Don't fucking shop here.
00:08:15.245 --> 00:08:16.415
Don't fucking shop here.
00:08:16.915 --> 00:08:18.524
This episode has been brought to you by Lowe's.
00:08:19.134 --> 00:08:19.644
We're just.
00:08:20.144 --> 00:08:20.504
Oh my God.
00:08:20.504 --> 00:08:21.824
Now I'm like, what if it was Lowe's?
00:08:22.324 --> 00:08:24.605
That's just some, you know, just a
00:08:25.105 --> 00:08:32.815
I had the same conversation with my cousin a couple days ago, and she knows a lawyer who has been lawyering since the beginning of time.
00:08:32.815 --> 00:08:37.965
And, there's a nonprofit, indivisible, and I think they're nationwide.
00:08:38.085 --> 00:08:47.684
Um, but it's basically like local groups, you know, on a national scale, it's thousands of group leaders and more than a million members who take regular.
00:08:48.054 --> 00:08:54.325
Iterative and increasingly complex actions to GOP's agenda, elect local champions and fight for progressive policies.
00:08:54.804 --> 00:09:01.345
They make calls, they show up, they speak with neighbors, they organize and they're protesting on a local scale.
00:09:02.095 --> 00:09:02.995
Did you say it's called
00:09:03.495 --> 00:09:04.245
indivisible?
00:09:04.664 --> 00:09:05.024
Okay.
00:09:05.625 --> 00:09:05.865
Yeah.
00:09:05.924 --> 00:09:10.215
So I found a chapter that's really close to my house and I'm going to the next meeting.
00:09:10.634 --> 00:09:11.355
That's awesome.
00:09:11.644 --> 00:09:15.304
They have a ton of chapters, so they make it really easy to participate.
00:09:15.394 --> 00:09:21.414
I don't know if there's as much of on the East coast as they are on the West coast, but, it's at least something.
00:09:21.504 --> 00:09:22.375
It's at least something.
00:09:22.375 --> 00:09:30.340
And I know that I don't know enough to know what to do, so I want someone to tell me what the best steps are, and I want them to tell me what to do.
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:30.700
Yep.
00:09:31.690 --> 00:09:32.320
Yeah, that's a
00:09:32.544 --> 00:09:35.575
But not like Nazis, not like a Nazi thing, like a.
00:09:36.075 --> 00:09:37.840
I'm not taking orders, I just,
00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:42.825
We, we are tauruses after all, so that's not something we do.
00:09:43.075 --> 00:09:44.611
it's indivisible.org.
00:09:44.631 --> 00:09:56.491
If you go there, they have emails that you can email to representatives, so they have email, templates that you can use, which is also super helpful, especially they have emails about ICE right now and expressing your displeasure.
00:09:56.892 --> 00:09:59.192
So much displeasure to express.
00:10:00.032 --> 00:10:00.721
You have no idea.
00:10:01.221 --> 00:10:02.932
And you can, you can support them
00:10:03.432 --> 00:10:04.902
Yeah, that's the other thing too.
00:10:04.932 --> 00:10:05.351
Money.
00:10:05.381 --> 00:10:06.072
Money talks.
00:10:06.072 --> 00:10:09.792
And even if it's just a little bit donating to someplace like
00:10:09.927 --> 00:10:12.236
Five bucks, 10 bucks, 25 bucks.
00:10:12.317 --> 00:10:13.101
it makes a difference.
00:10:13.292 --> 00:10:14.851
It does, if we all do it.
00:10:14.851 --> 00:10:25.422
So yeah, if you feel like physically going out and taking action, if you can't, if you're like unable to, for different reasons like that's okay.
00:10:25.721 --> 00:10:29.601
But, donating can really get things moving.
00:10:30.101 --> 00:10:31.692
Even online conversations.
00:10:31.951 --> 00:10:35.731
just being, I think just participating in any way you can.
00:10:36.341 --> 00:10:47.892
I saw a call for white people to make sure that they are doing everything they can to make sure that people of color are not getting arrested and using their whiteness to prevent that from happening, especially in Minneapolis right now.
00:10:48.631 --> 00:10:57.672
again, I don't wanna, I'll put a link to the actual, post in there just'cause I don't wanna overstep, but there's different ways you can help and different things you can do.
00:10:57.927 --> 00:10:58.917
Yeah, definitely.
00:10:59.417 --> 00:11:06.996
Even like, um, some people, maybe can't leave their homes or are too scared to leave their homes right now, it's not safe.
00:11:07.886 --> 00:11:20.147
just like offering, like picking up groceries for your neighbor, picking up medications, like any of that, like, I think it is, I think it's just like supporting your community as much as you can and.
00:11:20.647 --> 00:11:34.057
Don't be like my neighbor who sent out a neighborhood wide email to everyone complaining that his next door neighbor was driving too close to his Tesla every morning and asking if we had ring doorbell footage to show to the police.
00:11:34.447 --> 00:11:34.836
Oh my
00:11:35.226 --> 00:11:35.947
Don't be like him.
00:11:36.447 --> 00:11:36.626
Yeah.
00:11:36.626 --> 00:11:37.211
Don't be like that
00:11:37.557 --> 00:11:43.466
Can you like catch him doing something else on your ring doorbell and share that, like him doing something bad, and then share that with police.
00:11:43.966 --> 00:11:48.047
I genuinely considered every time like a squirrel or a cat or a bunny runs across the porch.
00:11:48.047 --> 00:11:49.636
I just wanna send and be like, is this it?
00:11:49.937 --> 00:11:50.777
Is it, oh, sorry.
00:11:50.897 --> 00:11:53.116
Is this the te This is what a Tesla looks like, right?
00:11:53.177 --> 00:11:54.017
is this a Tesla?
00:11:54.197 --> 00:11:55.336
Pretty sure this is a Tesla
00:11:55.836 --> 00:11:56.076
I
like,
00:11:56.136 --> 00:11:57.277
that's so offensive.
00:11:57.756 --> 00:11:59.047
That's so offensive to squirrels.
00:11:59.047 --> 00:12:00.336
Rebecca, how dare you.
00:12:00.586 --> 00:12:02.687
It was the adult version of he's not touching my car.
00:12:03.187 --> 00:12:04.086
I was right.
00:12:04.086 --> 00:12:05.376
So don't, don't be like that.
00:12:05.376 --> 00:12:10.307
Just, just, actually, I am going to an event on the 31st.
00:12:10.336 --> 00:12:19.726
It's, she called it Gines and we're just crafting and we're making Valentine's for like friends and family to send out, or just neighbors just,
00:12:20.302 --> 00:12:21.076
You gonna make me a
00:12:21.136 --> 00:12:24.506
but it's, I'm making my version of Valentine's.
00:12:25.006 --> 00:12:26.206
but I mean, do I get one?
00:12:26.211 --> 00:12:26.951
That's my question.
00:12:27.197 --> 00:12:27.346
Yeah.
00:12:27.346 --> 00:12:27.856
I'll make you one.
00:12:28.397 --> 00:12:28.697
I'll make you
00:12:28.841 --> 00:12:28.922
you.
00:12:29.292 --> 00:12:34.261
So getting to know people in the community, supporting each other, just little stuff like that.
00:12:34.761 --> 00:12:35.211
I don't know.
00:12:35.211 --> 00:12:36.711
Again, we don't have answers, but.
00:12:37.251 --> 00:12:39.501
I think everyone is desperately trying to do something,
00:12:40.001 --> 00:12:41.971
Just like be kind like
00:12:42.471 --> 00:12:43.731
especially to people with Teslas.
00:12:44.231 --> 00:12:51.011
I was gonna say, like, I don't know if you drive a Tesla, like you're basically asking for it, you're like asking for that to happen.
00:12:51.261 --> 00:12:56.392
I met with everyone who I manage and I said, Hey.
00:12:56.892 --> 00:12:58.001
Everything is terrible.
00:12:58.152 --> 00:13:04.392
I don't want us to pretend that things aren't, if you need a mental health day or two or three, please take it like
00:13:04.652 --> 00:13:04.871
Yep.
00:13:05.861 --> 00:13:06.792
You are important.
00:13:06.792 --> 00:13:10.481
This is, you are the most important thing and you need to take care of yourself.
00:13:10.981 --> 00:13:14.581
And I was just, and I think once I said like, Hey, I know everything is terrible.
00:13:14.581 --> 00:13:17.131
Everyone just kind of like, oh, you could just see
00:13:17.897 --> 00:13:19.277
The shoulders drop.
00:13:19.366 --> 00:13:19.787
Yeah.
00:13:19.787 --> 00:13:20.447
And just,
00:13:20.552 --> 00:13:21.091
Yes.
00:13:21.422 --> 00:13:23.581
'cause they don't have to try to keep it together anymore.
00:13:24.197 --> 00:13:24.586
yeah.
00:13:25.086 --> 00:13:28.976
I remember we had a manager when they overturned Roe v.
00:13:28.976 --> 00:13:30.542
Wade, we had a manager that.
00:13:31.042 --> 00:13:36.442
Did that for us and was like, Hey, I know everyone's feeling like really shitty.
00:13:36.442 --> 00:13:38.652
Why don't we, why don't we call it a day?
00:13:38.861 --> 00:13:39.792
And it was like early.
00:13:40.292 --> 00:13:41.356
Except for the boys.
00:13:41.356 --> 00:13:42.017
You have to work.
00:13:42.167 --> 00:13:43.067
You have to work still.
00:13:43.381 --> 00:13:43.772
Yeah.
00:13:44.042 --> 00:13:45.481
I feel like she wanted to say that.
00:13:45.981 --> 00:13:46.402
Yeah.
00:13:46.701 --> 00:13:56.091
But just I feel like sometimes that's like, all I can say is it's a lot, and maybe that's just what we all need to hear.
00:13:56.422 --> 00:13:58.302
Hey, it is a lot.
00:13:58.751 --> 00:14:04.772
This does really suck, and things are horrible and hurtful, and.
00:14:05.272 --> 00:14:05.991
Scary.
00:14:06.292 --> 00:14:09.741
The other thing that I wanted to say is doing something for you.
00:14:10.491 --> 00:14:12.711
I just started taking piano lessons again.
00:14:13.231 --> 00:14:18.991
my friend is working on drawing characters of his son's stuffed animals.
00:14:19.022 --> 00:14:21.272
'cause he thinks it could be a book and is adorable.
00:14:21.461 --> 00:14:24.081
You said you were coloring, like you got, pastels you said.
00:14:24.261 --> 00:14:25.162
Yeah, I got pastels.
00:14:25.162 --> 00:14:26.392
I haven't used them yet.
00:14:27.231 --> 00:14:32.032
I was just coloring with some old markers I had, but I got coloring books to start just doing that again.
00:14:32.511 --> 00:14:38.912
And also something to just take me away from screens and take me, away from the news a little bit.
00:14:39.782 --> 00:14:40.442
I love that.
00:14:40.802 --> 00:14:42.812
And also meditation.
00:14:42.812 --> 00:14:48.221
And again, I hate it because I do feel like meditation to me even seems like woo woo.
00:14:48.642 --> 00:14:51.282
But, that has been helping me so much.
00:14:51.432 --> 00:15:12.072
And you would be so surprised at like the specific things that you can find, or like the specific types of meditations that you can find, like on YouTube for example, like the day before I started my new job, I did one about, you know, like new beginnings and just kind of, I was looking for one about starting a new job and being anxious about it.
00:15:12.072 --> 00:15:25.471
And and there are a ton out there that I've been listening to a lot lately about just like feeling stress, anxiety, and overwhelm just in the world, in the news.
00:15:26.062 --> 00:15:30.322
and that's helped me a ton, but I know that's not for everybody.
00:15:30.572 --> 00:15:44.851
I wanna derail us a little bit and mention that it has been wonderful seeing you in this new job and watching your confidence level come back and watching you realize like everything that you contribute and everything you can do, and just, it's oh, there she is.
00:15:44.971 --> 00:15:45.692
There she is.
00:15:46.072 --> 00:15:47.032
that's my Jamie.
00:15:47.317 --> 00:15:54.277
Yeah, it was just so bad I wasn't hearing back from all these jobs I applied for, seemed like everyone else was getting jobs, right?
00:15:54.277 --> 00:15:56.437
And I just wasn't for like over a year.
00:15:57.427 --> 00:16:03.456
And so it
was just shot, but honestly it took two days and I was like, oh, holy shit, I can do all this.
00:16:03.726 --> 00:16:05.287
I was like, yeah, this is no.
00:16:05.402 --> 00:16:06.542
here are my business cards.
00:16:06.542 --> 00:16:08.642
I am content witch Now just.
00:16:09.226 --> 00:16:11.956
I really do want business cards to say content witch, but I'm
00:16:12.206 --> 00:16:20.511
No, just hearing how happy you sound and like just fulfilled and not, not in a capitalist way, but in a like, oh yeah, my brain.
00:16:20.542 --> 00:16:24.932
My brain is the best and I do know this, and now someone else knows that my brain is the best.
00:16:25.486 --> 00:16:29.606
And it just, and it does, it feels so good to use that muscle again.
00:16:29.667 --> 00:16:29.907
yeah.
00:16:29.966 --> 00:16:30.297
Thank you.
00:16:30.417 --> 00:16:31.017
Appreciate it.
00:16:31.317 --> 00:16:34.736
i'm so happy for you and I'm so glad that they seem to be good people and they're taking care of you.
00:16:34.831 --> 00:16:35.701
yeah, me too.
00:16:36.302 --> 00:16:37.292
That makes a difference.
00:16:37.292 --> 00:16:41.601
And like sometimes I always feel silly thinking about that.
00:16:41.677 --> 00:16:43.371
'cause like sometimes it's like, oh, culture fit.
00:16:43.371 --> 00:16:44.932
And like for me, it's not even that.
00:16:44.932 --> 00:16:47.611
It, like, I mean, it is that, but it's is it just vibes?
00:16:47.642 --> 00:16:48.211
I don't know.
00:16:48.711 --> 00:16:50.932
That's why I didn't say it, because I knew this would happen.
00:16:51.432 --> 00:16:54.522
Rebecca is snorting into her arm.
00:16:55.022 --> 00:16:55.381
I dunno.
00:16:55.381 --> 00:16:57.121
It's just vibes.
00:16:57.226 --> 00:16:58.216
just vibes, right?
00:16:58.716 --> 00:17:03.966
But listen, people being like, you don't even have to be a good human being.
00:17:03.966 --> 00:17:05.527
Just be a decent human being.
00:17:05.527 --> 00:17:09.096
And I'm like, oh, wow, I really like
00:17:09.501 --> 00:17:11.092
The bar is literally in hell.
00:17:11.122 --> 00:17:12.412
The bar is literally in hell.
00:17:12.487 --> 00:17:13.507
so low.
00:17:13.557 --> 00:17:14.307
Did you see that?
00:17:14.307 --> 00:17:17.727
That fucker, he went to a plant and gave someone the finger in mouth.
00:17:17.727 --> 00:17:18.567
Fuck you.
00:17:18.747 --> 00:17:20.642
To a worker who was like, you protect pedophiles.
00:17:21.142 --> 00:17:26.061
The goddamn president of the United States gave someone a finger and said, fuck you.
00:17:26.961 --> 00:17:28.342
I'm sorry mouthed, fuck you.
00:17:28.402 --> 00:17:31.342
I don't wanna be taken down for incorrect information.
00:17:32.152 --> 00:17:38.402
The, and he's a trash person, and I know no one is surprised, but that now that's in the history books
00:17:38.682 --> 00:17:39.821
You know what's even worse?
00:17:40.321 --> 00:17:41.432
I don't know, honestly.
00:17:41.932 --> 00:17:45.872
Shooting a citizen in the face and calling them
a stupid bitch.
00:17:46.372 --> 00:17:47.571
Oh, it was a fucking bitch.
00:17:47.571 --> 00:17:50.211
Actually, I'm gonna, I'm actually on this.
00:17:50.362 --> 00:17:51.501
It was a fucking bitch.
00:17:51.501 --> 00:17:54.402
And he said it in the tone that, so many women have heard
00:17:54.957 --> 00:17:56.761
Yeah, that like that set me off.
00:17:57.261 --> 00:18:00.582
that, that was, and see, I don't again.
00:18:01.031 --> 00:18:05.382
Not performative, but wanna caveat that I know this is not the first person killed by ice.
00:18:05.442 --> 00:18:11.501
And I know that people should have taken action long before when those people were killed, and I know they weren't white people who were killed.
00:18:12.311 --> 00:18:15.192
And I agree that it took way too long for people to do something.
00:18:15.527 --> 00:18:15.817
Yeah.
00:18:16.116 --> 00:18:25.707
Opening your phone and watching someone get shot in the head without knowing, that's what's happening on social media again, is just that special kind of, oops, oops.
00:18:25.707 --> 00:18:27.826
All trauma, just an a, oops.
00:18:27.826 --> 00:18:28.426
All trauma day.
00:18:28.432 --> 00:18:31.356
I, I just watched someone get shot in the head.
00:18:31.666 --> 00:18:31.957
Yeah.
00:18:32.287 --> 00:18:34.086
Okay, back to work.
00:18:34.086 --> 00:18:35.737
I go, what?
00:18:36.067 --> 00:18:36.547
What the fuck?
00:18:36.797 --> 00:18:46.997
That said, people of color, especially black people, have dealt with all of this shit as like a normal part of their life all the time.
00:18:47.057 --> 00:18:52.926
So I do wanna say yes, it sucks that like everyone's oh wow, this sucks ice is
00:18:52.981 --> 00:18:57.092
and we don't, We're not trying to, but we are just trying to say out loud
00:18:57.372 --> 00:18:59.477
that we are white women.
00:18:59.977 --> 00:19:01.176
you're quite women.
00:19:01.676 --> 00:19:01.896
Ugh.
00:19:02.396 --> 00:19:12.936
I think one of the things, I mean I know we don't need to talk about specifics too much, but you were saying like the way that he said, fucking bitch, a lot of women have heard before and
00:19:12.987 --> 00:19:13.527
Oh yeah.
00:19:14.027 --> 00:19:19.666
even just like the other, like what was, there was like another officer yelling like, get outta the fucking car.
00:19:19.666 --> 00:19:19.967
Get out.
00:19:20.247 --> 00:19:20.997
oh my god.
00:19:20.997 --> 00:19:22.906
Like I would drive away too.
00:19:23.027 --> 00:19:26.027
I would be fucking terrified.
00:19:26.596 --> 00:19:33.146
That's terrifying screaming at you and trying to just like break into your vehicle wearing a mask.
00:19:33.646 --> 00:19:34.366
It's terrifying.
00:19:34.866 --> 00:19:37.207
and in the video you can see her be like, I'm not mad at you guys.
00:19:37.567 --> 00:19:39.126
You can see her saying that right?
00:19:39.517 --> 00:19:41.076
In that same sort of voice that.
00:19:41.767 --> 00:19:47.767
Women who are in abusive relationships or abusive partnerships do to deescalate the situation.
00:19:48.096 --> 00:19:50.616
And I felt that in my fucking bones.
00:19:50.737 --> 00:19:51.876
And you can see it on her face.
00:19:51.936 --> 00:19:57.027
And when he says, fucking bitch, I, it just takes you right back to where you were.
00:19:57.356 --> 00:20:00.741
first time you were called that or the first time you heard that.
00:20:00.741 --> 00:20:07.961
And I think every woman pretty much knows that tone and that intonation and, um, again, we have to go about our day.
00:20:07.961 --> 00:20:11.352
Like we're not surrounded by men who could do the exact same thing to us if they wanted to.
00:20:11.852 --> 00:20:12.632
Let's also, okay.
00:20:13.132 --> 00:20:16.797
Can we, can we talk for a minute about, can we talk for a minute?
00:20:16.801 --> 00:20:21.267
You just said that in the same voice like a youth pastor, like he sits across like a down woman floor with the kids.
00:20:21.517 --> 00:20:22.656
let's wrap kids.
00:20:22.807 --> 00:20:25.507
Let's wrap for a second about the Lord.
00:20:26.007 --> 00:20:26.457
Jesus.
00:20:27.176 --> 00:20:27.507
All right.
00:20:28.067 --> 00:20:29.326
Rapping for Jesus.
00:20:29.426 --> 00:20:31.166
I was hoping we could talk for a minute about.
00:20:31.666 --> 00:20:34.926
The process of joining ice,
00:20:35.426 --> 00:20:37.942
Please, Jamie, tell us about the process of joining ice.
00:20:38.442 --> 00:20:46.886
I'll put this in the show notes, but, um, a journalist named Laura IDE applied for ice.
00:20:47.517 --> 00:21:00.573
And, I saw her just explaining the process that she went through and they were marking things as done and clear, in the future.
00:21:00.603 --> 00:21:02.643
Like a drug test passing.
00:21:02.643 --> 00:21:03.512
A drug test.
00:21:03.813 --> 00:21:07.542
They didn't do a background check and check for any domestic violence.
00:21:08.042 --> 00:21:11.583
The biggest fucking red flag I've seen in my entire life.
00:21:12.083 --> 00:21:17.762
I mean, the funny thing is, is like she has a very specific last name at least.
00:21:18.482 --> 00:21:25.022
And so it would be so easy for them to have like, done research and been like, oh shit, she's drawn to infiltrate us.
00:21:25.022 --> 00:21:25.442
You know?
00:21:26.173 --> 00:21:32.458
but they also didn't, which I'm glad because I think this is like just such a, a perfect.
00:21:32.958 --> 00:21:34.998
Do you know why they didn't think that though?
00:21:35.238 --> 00:21:42.137
Because legitimately, they're a group of fucking Nazis and you're joining the Nazis, and why would anyone try to infiltrate the Nazis?
00:21:42.137 --> 00:21:45.018
People just wanna join, and that's their fucking mindset.
00:21:45.123 --> 00:21:45.573
Mm-hmm.
00:21:46.067 --> 00:21:47.958
That's why they wouldn't think it, because they're like, sure.
00:21:48.407 --> 00:21:50.053
We wanna be, surely everyone wants to be here.
00:21:50.438 --> 00:21:52.218
You need to get your student
loans paid off.
00:21:52.718 --> 00:21:54.248
Become a nice asshole, you know?
00:21:54.748 --> 00:22:03.798
And I guess there's a whole conversation maybe that people smarter than me can have about how the cost of living is so high and the wages are so low in this country that people are desperate enough
00:22:03.887 --> 00:22:04.577
Oh, yeah.
00:22:05.083 --> 00:22:05.502
Summer.
00:22:05.778 --> 00:22:06.887
That promises you what?
00:22:06.887 --> 00:22:08.357
A 50 K signing bonus.
00:22:08.657 --> 00:22:10.248
they're fucking banking on that shit.
00:22:10.248 --> 00:22:11.857
They're absolutely,
00:22:12.357 --> 00:22:15.708
But for the most part, it's a lot of white men.
00:22:15.857 --> 00:22:23.837
Oh, by the way, there are many children apparently who are doxing, their parents who are in ice, which I find
00:22:24.083 --> 00:22:27.107
Ooh, I haven't been to that side of the internet yet.
00:22:27.798 --> 00:22:28.397
Good job.
00:22:28.397 --> 00:22:35.087
Gen ZI love that for you and I will adopt you so you don't have to live with your isol parents.
00:22:35.867 --> 00:22:36.798
Great job.
00:22:36.948 --> 00:22:37.488
Honestly.
00:22:37.532 --> 00:22:38.403
a really good mom.
00:22:38.403 --> 00:22:39.813
You guys like she is.
00:22:40.218 --> 00:22:48.907
Oh, and then there are ex-wives of former cops who are on like Reddit forums and you're like, guys, this is the shit that actually bothers them.
00:22:49.347 --> 00:22:50.218
you will get to them.
00:22:50.218 --> 00:23:00.057
Here's X, Y, and z to say to them and what to do and basically how to push all their fucking buttons and basically how to do emotional warfare on fragile white men
00:23:00.817 --> 00:23:01.107
Whoa.
00:23:01.167 --> 00:23:03.057
guns from a distance.
00:23:03.998 --> 00:23:10.597
I was thinking about that post that I sent you, and it was like the cousin of Steven Miller.
00:23:11.097 --> 00:23:12.327
Oh yeah, that
00:23:12.462 --> 00:23:18.932
I think it was a Facebook post and was when I called out my cousin for being the face of evil, I did not stutter.
00:23:19.692 --> 00:23:21.942
she's talking about Renee.
00:23:21.942 --> 00:23:22.363
Good.
00:23:22.732 --> 00:23:24.712
her death is blood on your hands, Steven.
00:23:24.712 --> 00:23:29.123
I'm just glad our grandparents are no longer alive to witness the shame you've brought to our family.
00:23:29.373 --> 00:23:30.333
I just like love that
00:23:30.383 --> 00:23:34.063
Good job on those family members being like, yeah, we hated him since he was born.
00:23:34.712 --> 00:23:35.732
But it is just
00:23:36.232 --> 00:23:36.863
Okay, here it is.
00:23:37.262 --> 00:23:39.103
her name is it, Alyssa Kaser.
00:23:39.942 --> 00:23:42.042
A-L-I-S-A-K-S-M-E-R.
00:23:42.042 --> 00:23:44.232
Her username is Kaser.
00:23:44.262 --> 00:23:44.472
Okay.
00:23:44.742 --> 00:23:47.742
This is my favorite people here asking for stories about Steven all the time.
00:23:47.742 --> 00:23:50.653
Here's one I will happily share Steven, and my birthdays are a day apart.
00:23:50.893 --> 00:23:54.913
A fact I loved in our small family having birthdays so close was a fun little bond we shared.
00:23:55.182 --> 00:23:58.482
But that fun bond was broken when his bar mitzvah fell on my 21st birthday.
00:23:58.722 --> 00:24:04.093
On my actual birthday, my 21st birthday was spent waking up early to go to temple and doing the horror with middle schoolers.
00:24:04.303 --> 00:24:07.873
If you think you hate him, I've been holding the grudge since 1998.
00:24:08.788 --> 00:24:09.417
I love that.
00:24:09.417 --> 00:24:10.048
That just that's great.
00:24:10.548 --> 00:24:16.958
So, yeah, I, I love the cousin roasting the absolute living fuck out of that asshole.
00:24:18.073 --> 00:24:34.282
It is so nice to just see people, standing against fascism, standing against Nazis, standing up for your community, your neighbors, your loved ones, your city, but it still fucking sucks.
00:24:34.522 --> 00:24:35.512
God, this is depressing.
00:24:35.542 --> 00:24:36.038
Why'd we do this?
00:24:36.538 --> 00:24:39.542
I, I, we just, we have to say out loud, we have to say it out loud.
00:24:39.542 --> 00:24:42.542
Everything is terrible and we are feeling it.
00:24:42.542 --> 00:24:50.913
And to try and act in the world like it isn't, is a farce and disingenuous and I'm so mad that we have to keep doing it
00:24:51.413 --> 00:24:51.952
Me too.
00:24:52.452 --> 00:24:53.472
Talk about it more.
00:24:53.972 --> 00:24:55.712
Find people you can talk about it with.
00:24:56.492 --> 00:24:57.873
Hey, you can email us.
00:24:57.873 --> 00:24:58.502
You wanna email us?
00:24:58.502 --> 00:24:59.103
Talk about it.
00:24:59.282 --> 00:25:00.032
Let's talk about it.
00:25:00.282 --> 00:25:03.282
and friends who can help us like figure out what to do.
00:25:03.282 --> 00:25:04.333
Even if it's little stuff.
00:25:04.333 --> 00:25:06.462
Just doing it together.
00:25:06.673 --> 00:25:07.093
Yeah.
00:25:07.593 --> 00:25:13.952
You have to like, I'm not, I am, if anyone said I'm optimistic, they're fucking lying.
00:25:14.042 --> 00:25:14.553
I'm not.
00:25:14.613 --> 00:25:16.472
I'm one of the most cynical people I know.
00:25:17.403 --> 00:25:26.942
But even, I feel like there has to be an inflection point where we decide that we've had enough and that good things and good people have to.
00:25:27.718 --> 00:25:28.208
Prevail.
00:25:28.708 --> 00:25:29.968
Yeah, they have to.
00:25:30.468 --> 00:25:32.718
I really deep down want to believe that.
00:25:33.218 --> 00:25:33.698
Me too.
00:25:34.198 --> 00:25:43.363
And that's what sucks is like just being bombarded with policies and murders and families being torn apart.
00:25:43.863 --> 00:25:44.462
It does.
00:25:44.462 --> 00:25:59.653
It's like it's not only desensitizing us, which we talked about, but it's also, it's made to, it's done to make us afraid to like keep us scared and keep us scared to do anything and scared to stand up and we can't
be.
00:25:59.712 --> 00:26:05.022
I mean, on the other side of that, do I completely understand people who are like, uh, I can't do that.
00:26:05.022 --> 00:26:07.532
Like, I'm like, I get that.
00:26:08.042 --> 00:26:09.813
'cause people are fucking scared.
00:26:10.313 --> 00:26:14.113
I think we're obligated to use whatever privilege we have to.
00:26:14.613 --> 00:26:15.813
Help them and protect them
00:26:15.813 --> 00:26:21.692
Everything that they're doing is making you feel more and more unsafe and more and more afraid,
00:26:22.192 --> 00:26:24.083
but I also feel like we have to get over
00:26:24.083 --> 00:26:24.532
oh, yeah.
00:26:24.863 --> 00:26:25.252
Yeah.
00:26:25.528 --> 00:26:25.748
Yep.
00:26:26.248 --> 00:26:27.208
You have to get over it.
00:26:27.238 --> 00:26:32.307
Even if it's something little, like emailing someone, you ha you can't, you have to, and you made a really good point.
00:26:32.968 --> 00:26:37.557
People of color have been dealing with this forever and they have to deal with it forever.
00:26:37.647 --> 00:26:43.167
So we don't get to be like, I just don't like have the spoons today.
00:26:43.667 --> 00:26:44.627
So I just can't.
00:26:44.897 --> 00:26:45.748
That's no.
00:26:46.248 --> 00:27:08.577
There's something, even if it's little, we just have to do something because there's no fucking way in the world that we can let that, awful walrus melted piece of chicken nugget who shit his pants constantly and yet is somehow in charge of the country and is now threatening Greenland, which we haven't even gotten to Venezuela yet.
00:27:08.667 --> 00:27:18.077
I don't even have, I don't have the spoons to get into Venezuela right now, just a pile of disgusting schmalz oozing around the White House and he's in charge.
00:27:18.347 --> 00:27:21.657
There's no way that, there's no way we can let that continue.
00:27:21.657 --> 00:27:23.458
He shits his pants in meetings.
00:27:23.708 --> 00:27:26.107
There's no way he can, I feel crazy.
00:27:26.613 --> 00:27:29.103
What have we been talking about since the beginning of this?
00:27:29.603 --> 00:27:30.502
Moral injury.
00:27:30.532 --> 00:27:31.702
Moral fucking injury.
00:27:32.202 --> 00:27:32.442
Yep.
00:27:32.938 --> 00:27:34.107
It's exactly what it is.
00:27:34.607 --> 00:27:36.107
He's just the worst.
00:27:36.157 --> 00:27:37.057
people can't let him.
00:27:37.057 --> 00:27:37.448
Like they can't,
00:27:37.948 --> 00:27:39.208
this is like totally off topic.
00:27:39.238 --> 00:27:47.137
it's not off topic, it's about, but did you end up seeing that segment that 60 minutes pulled?
00:27:47.317 --> 00:27:48.097
Did you watch it?
00:27:48.157 --> 00:27:49.028
'cause people had it?
00:27:49.397 --> 00:27:50.768
Mm-hmm.
00:27:51.268 --> 00:27:57.887
Again, how can people watch things with their eyes and not see parallels to slave plantations or to.
00:27:58.387 --> 00:27:59.198
Nazi Germany
00:27:59.542 --> 00:28:00.472
They're fucking people.
00:28:00.472 -->
00:28:04.732
They're mostly boys and they're so, so many of'em are so fucking young looking.
00:28:04.738 --> 00:28:10.548
And I think that's the hardest part of this administration is you see things with your eyes and you feel things.
00:28:10.548 --> 00:28:12.587
And yet they're telling you, well that's not what you said,
00:28:12.633 --> 00:28:12.903
Yeah.
00:28:13.083 --> 00:28:13.623
No,
00:28:13.728 --> 00:28:14.298
You didn't see it.
00:28:14.492 --> 00:28:15.843
that's not what that was.
00:28:15.843 --> 00:28:16.472
That's not what,
00:28:17.387 --> 00:28:23.768
And I think the journalist in me is protecting me because I just research the shit outta everything.
00:28:23.827 --> 00:28:24.968
I check everything.
00:28:25.238 --> 00:28:30.278
I read everything I can because that's my way of regulating myself.
00:28:30.278 --> 00:28:31.238
'cause I feel crazy.
00:28:32.153 --> 00:28:32.212
Yeah,
00:28:32.712 --> 00:28:35.143
And that's their goal is to make people feel fucking crazy.
00:28:35.893 --> 00:28:40.202
and that's what's really shitty is like not everyone is a journalist.
00:28:40.593 --> 00:28:41.792
Most people aren't.
00:28:42.393 --> 00:28:43.502
Most people
00:28:44.012 --> 00:28:44.553
Yes.
00:28:44.762 --> 00:28:46.893
just believe what they see.
00:28:46.923 --> 00:28:49.413
You know, they see an Instagram reel, for example.
00:28:49.712 --> 00:28:50.792
like, this happened today.
00:28:50.792 --> 00:28:56.583
And it's if you just Googled it, you could see when it actually happened and be like, oh, what I'm seeing is not
00:28:57.002 --> 00:29:00.633
Or no, that woman actually has six fingers.
00:29:00.782 --> 00:29:02.222
This is ai, you know.
00:29:02.722 --> 00:29:08.242
I've really gotten the habit of if I see something and I'm like, I have to check.
00:29:08.242 --> 00:29:12.282
I'm like, is this, that's the first thing I do now is like, is this ai, is this real?
00:29:12.333 --> 00:29:25.542
We should do just like a mini little show on Twitch where we just like show Rebecca like the best AI videos and have her tell the difference between what's AI and what's not.
00:29:26.113 --> 00:29:27.282
It'll be like a game show.
00:29:27.643 --> 00:29:28.002
I love this,
00:29:28.502 --> 00:29:30.087
I love that a hundred percent.
00:29:30.087 --> 00:29:30.627
Let's do it.
00:29:31.127 --> 00:29:37.157
I think there's something connected there where we are being encouraged not to use our brains anymore.
00:29:37.657 --> 00:29:37.988
I like
00:29:37.988 --> 00:29:38.948
and that's what they count on.
00:29:39.208 --> 00:29:46.127
AI makes it so easy and you don't have to think, and you don't have to research, and you can just ask it and make it do it, and you can just.
00:29:46.627 --> 00:29:59.538
And that's unfortunately where a lot of Gen Xers and boomers who don't recognize AI content or ai formatting of content We were at like the dawn of the social media boom.
00:29:59.538 --> 00:29:59.897
Okay.
00:29:59.897 --> 00:30:03.698
We're, we've lived this, I like to call us like internet children.
00:30:03.698 --> 00:30:05.768
Like we fucking grew up on the internet.
00:30:05.768 --> 00:30:09.637
Maybe we're conditioned to be like, that's a lie, just automatically, because we know.
00:30:10.268 --> 00:30:10.688
But
00:30:11.258 --> 00:30:14.768
Maybe it's just us, Rebecca, because we're just cynical of everything.
00:30:15.268 --> 00:30:15.448
No,
00:30:15.718 --> 00:30:16.077
you know what?
00:30:16.077 --> 00:30:17.157
That's a really good point.
00:30:17.337 --> 00:30:17.817
No.
00:30:18.117 --> 00:30:18.478
yeah.
00:30:18.627 --> 00:30:18.837
I.
00:30:19.663 --> 00:30:20.623
I don't know.
00:30:20.718 --> 00:30:26.057
I guess the point of this episode is to validate, to encourage, to keep going.
00:30:26.577 --> 00:30:27.807
We're sitting in the shit with you.
00:30:27.807 --> 00:30:33.827
And we're also acknowledging that everyone's sitting in the shit and we can't keep being asked to pretend like we're not.
00:30:34.327 --> 00:30:36.157
and we'd love to hear from you guys too.
00:30:36.413 --> 00:30:38.883
The burnout community still means a lot to us and.
00:30:39.383 --> 00:30:53.653
We would love to hear, you know, on Discord, email us, you know, talk to us on social media about like what you're doing and share some resources with us that we can share with everybody.
00:30:54.153 --> 00:30:57.442
Because like the Burnout Collective community is a community too.
00:30:57.472 --> 00:31:03.073
So we just wanna say, yeah, we get it and we're right here.
00:31:03.073 --> 00:31:05.133
And you're not, you're not alone.
00:31:05.942 --> 00:31:07.593
So cliche, but you're not alone.
00:31:07.942 --> 00:31:10.133
it's okay to not be okay.
00:31:10.643 --> 00:31:15.242
I mean, I if you're not, not okay right now, like I just feel like there's a problem.
00:31:15.742 --> 00:31:16.163
Oh, okay.
00:31:16.188 --> 00:31:17.117
If you're not, not, okay.
00:31:18.077 --> 00:31:18.887
Trust me, Rebecca.
00:31:18.988 --> 00:31:21.928
when I dare use a double negative, I make sure to use it correctly.
00:31:22.857 --> 00:31:23.518
No, I know.
00:31:23.518 --> 00:31:25.377
I wasn't following,'cause my gummy just kicked in.
00:31:25.377 --> 00:31:26.127
I was like, wait.
00:31:26.627 --> 00:31:26.917
Yeah.
00:31:27.417 --> 00:31:29.488
Oh, speaking of which, and you know what?
00:31:29.488 --> 00:31:34.127
I don't care if he hears this because I just got a text message from a manager.
00:31:34.627 --> 00:31:35.917
I'm just gonna share this with you.
00:31:36.157 --> 00:31:39.968
It's a picture of a building on fire and it says the world right now.
00:31:40.298 --> 00:31:44.857
And then Will Ferrell yelling work and it says we must finalize goals for 2026.
00:31:45.428 --> 00:31:47.288
And I got that from someone who's in charge of me.
00:31:47.468 --> 00:31:48.877
So that is fucking refreshing.
00:31:48.877 --> 00:31:50.978
And this is why we're doing this fucking podcast
00:31:51.458 --> 00:31:51.758
Yep.
00:31:52.258 --> 00:31:52.827
because
00:31:53.327 --> 00:31:56.807
Some days that's like all I feel like I can manage is just.
00:31:57.307 --> 00:32:00.307
Checking in on my people and then sending memes like that.
00:32:00.807 --> 00:32:07.877
Yes, and it's, this is why we need to do this because I need to know that someone knows if I'm not okay that.
00:32:08.377 --> 00:32:09.518
They're also not okay.
00:32:09.762 --> 00:32:10.053
Yeah.
00:32:10.508 --> 00:32:11.557
It's not a failure.
00:32:11.557 --> 00:32:13.117
It's not me being weak.
00:32:13.117 --> 00:32:15.458
It's how could you be okay?
00:32:15.458 --> 00:32:16.958
How could you not not be okay?
00:32:17.228 --> 00:32:17.768
Is that right?
00:32:17.768 --> 00:32:18.428
Did I use that right?
00:32:18.928 --> 00:32:19.798
How could you not Not be?
00:32:19.798 --> 00:32:20.577
Yeah, okay.
00:32:21.077 --> 00:32:21.298
Yes.
00:32:21.798 --> 00:32:22.292
Oh God.
00:32:22.792 --> 00:32:23.242
It's a lot.
00:32:23.742 --> 00:32:25.752
It has to be okay that it has to be right.
00:32:26.252 --> 00:32:26.913
It has to be.
00:32:27.413 --> 00:32:28.133
We gotta hope.
00:32:28.633 --> 00:32:31.567
Sorry, I'm just really inside myself right now and I'm like,
00:32:32.123 --> 00:32:32.782
I am too.
00:32:32.782 --> 00:32:35.153
I'm like, don't cry on the podcast that no one can see.
00:32:35.403 --> 00:32:37.853
Thanks for sitting and talking with me about this.
00:32:37.853 --> 00:32:38.363
it is.
00:32:38.692 --> 00:32:46.133
At the very least, it's normalizing and I feel like my nervous system coming back to a level that is functional.
00:32:46.978 --> 00:32:48.448
Yeah, anytime.
00:32:49.038 --> 00:32:49.397
Yes.
00:32:49.897 --> 00:32:56.397
I do wanna say the worst thing in the world happened to me today is the ice maker that makes the good ice broke.
00:32:56.897 --> 00:32:57.258
And I
00:32:57.347 --> 00:32:58.788
And there we have it folks.
00:32:58.788 --> 00:33:08.968
Rebecca has erased everything that we've already said in this episode by being a white woman who can't have her sonic ice at home
00:33:09.762 --> 00:33:13.587
Listen, I have to angrily chew ice with my teeth.
00:33:14.087 --> 00:33:17.357
I don't know what else to do if I can't chew ice with my teeth.
00:33:17.748 --> 00:33:19.127
I have nowhere else to put it.
00:33:19.627 --> 00:33:22.393
I feel like there's a really bad punny title.
00:33:22.538 --> 00:33:22.807
I know
00:33:22.857 --> 00:33:26.788
i'm just laughing because of ice and ice and you having to chew your ice.
00:33:27.288 --> 00:33:31.938
I'm having to drink fucking Kroger ice right now and it's the wrong ice.
00:33:32.387 --> 00:33:33.647
It's the wrong ice.
00:33:34.147 --> 00:33:41.897
She shows me, she shows me, takes a lid off her cup and shows me the ice in it as if I'll be like, oh yeah, that's terrible.
00:33:42.397 --> 00:33:42.698
listen.
00:33:42.698 --> 00:33:46.567
I met with another autistic person today and they were like, oh my God, you have to have the big ice.
00:33:46.567 --> 00:33:48.688
I'm like, yeah, not the big
00:33:49.167 --> 00:33:55.188
Well, now I'm just, now I'm just picturing like I met with another autistic person today to talk about ice
00:33:55.688 --> 00:33:55.837
We
00:33:56.063 --> 00:33:56.663
in my drink.
00:33:57.248 --> 00:33:57.637
we did.
00:33:57.938 --> 00:33:58.778
Alright, we can stop now.
00:33:59.278 --> 00:34:02.143
Well, I think we should say thank you guys.
00:34:02.803 --> 00:34:03.012
Thank you.
00:34:03.512 --> 00:34:03.752
Okay.
00:34:03.752 --> 00:34:04.772
We can stop now.
00:34:05.268 --> 00:34:05.807
And we're done.
00:34:06.288 --> 00:34:08.447
again, as always, we are doing our best.
00:34:08.478 --> 00:34:11.938
And we just, we wanna do whatever we can.
00:34:11.938 --> 00:34:14.338
And thank you guys for joining us and for being here.
00:34:14.338 --> 00:34:17.358
And we're sorry that this is where we are right now.
00:34:18.152 --> 00:34:18.543
Yeah.
00:34:19.043 --> 00:34:20.572
And you know, we don't know.
00:34:20.722 --> 00:34:23.432
We didn't know, and we don't know is this gonna help?
00:34:24.273 --> 00:34:33.922
But we thought like, at least just getting it out there and just validating everyone else's experience and like our own, even just validating our own experience.
00:34:34.222 --> 00:34:34.342
but
00:34:34.978 --> 00:34:36.927
But yeah, if you have any suggestions on
00:34:37.123 --> 00:34:37.663
