She's here. We we love her. Tell her we love her.
(00:39):
Before we get started. You know, we have an ongoing
problem with Nate and his addiction to sugar. Yeah, and so,
as always on this day of the week, we have
candy in the room. So Gandhi tell everyone what he
just did.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Well, before we came on air here or into the podcast,
Nate was whispering like a crazy person to himself in
the order, I'm sick. I had eight pieces. Yeah, he
was looking at us insanely. It was not good.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I should have never had those eighties, right A little.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Bit so, then he gets up and walks over to
the box and starts rummaging for a ninth piece nice chocolate.
As he's walking, Daniel grab that from him. Nate spoo
it out, daniel smacking out of his hands, smacking out
of his hand, and Danielle.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I I didn't do anything because somebody yelled at us.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I did in the room. Nate looks like he just
did a rail of cocaine. Look, he's biting his up.
You look like a junkie anyway, and you are a
chocolate junkie. He was sugar junkie. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
If I was going over there doing lines of blow,
would you stop me or just yet?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yes, I would take that shot out of your hand
and do it myself. But heye, junkie Nate. Here's the thing.
He's got to make his own decision.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You're not gonna be there all the time to slap
it out of his hand. I understand that.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But when we are here and he's already said that
he has an issue and he should be stopped. We
were trying to stop him in front of me.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
No, not on my watch. Im up. Next time, I'm
gonna run over and I'm gonna lick it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I would still eat it. You would eat it out
of your mouth. Struggle is real. That's a big box
a candy and they smell it smells amazing, the aroma
of chocolate, and especially with all different different kinds of nutclusters.
He has to want to help himself. And you know
how that works. Do you know what he did?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And this is how you know there's a serious addiction. Yesterday,
when the box arrived, we usually just leave food out,
everybody takes it. No, Nate took it and hit it later.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And let me tell you. We got that box the
day before. I said to Nate, should we open this
box now? Okay? He said no, We're gonna keep it
for a special occasion. So I took the box and
I put it under my death. The next day, apparently
a special occasion ended. And why and he says, hey,
(03:12):
get the box of candy out. He's like, oh yeah, special,
get that out.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Get the special occasion? Was he fell off the wagon?
The wagon exactly, he's a wagon look up addiction. This
is exactly what this is. All right, Calm down, Mary,
calm down. All right, Well, let's keep an eye on that.
Let's table that. Let's just keep an eye on it.
But I just I'm like, you know, you know, back
when I was really really overweight, breakfast would arrive and
(03:43):
I would pick up the breakfast for Reno and have
it up to my lips, and Danielle would say, do
you really want to eat that?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
You asked us to do that, so if we I'm
just I never asked anyone to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I never ever, I never ever did.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
At one point, at one point, you said, if you
see me, you know whatever, just try to reel me in.
So we were like, all right, So we would say
something and you'd get mad. I'm like, well, I'm not
going to reel them in anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Forget it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
If you see something, say something right, unless.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
It's to me.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I don't know. I disagree with that with her story,
I don't remember asking anyone for help. Yeah, yeah, yeah
you did anyway, So okay, we got to move on.
There's a reason why Diamond's here other than the fact
we love her. Diamond. Gandhi said that you brought up
this interesting, thought provoking conversation topic.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yes, because an intellectual.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yes did I love it? By the way, I love it,
And I've actually seen this in action before, but go ahead,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So my question was because we came in at five
point thirty this morning, Danielle and I are complaining about
our lives. And I just thought to myself, like, would
you rather live the life that we're all living now
where you see how great life is or how great
life could be? You're around people who live extra again
lifestyles if you don't live that life yourself? And would
(05:04):
you rather live that life where you're seeing that? But
you have like a tendency to just complain about like bs,
nothing that really is life altering is going on in
our lives right now, so like we don't really have
much to complain about, but we really fixate on these
mint like little things. Or would you rather live a
life where you're just oblivious to everything? You are around
(05:27):
people who don't make as much, but you're fulfilled and
happy because you just think that this is the way
that life is, even though it's probably really hard for
them or you? Whoever? Would you rather live that life
where you're oblivious to how hard your life actually is?
Which one would you rather do?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's what I said, scary Obliviony I do walk around
aloof that's okay. Why don't you want the finer things
in life?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Because you know you're missing the we don't know?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Can we?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
So you gave an example, Gandhi, I guess when you're
having this conversation with Diamond about let's say a tribe
living in Africa.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yes, right, let's take it to the extremes, right, So
let's say that there is a tribe in Africa and
they spend every day hunting for food, growing their food,
getting their water, only hanging out with each other. And
that's the life they enjoy. They don't know that they're
missing out on Gucci, Fundy, Prada, social media, beer excess,
this extravagance that we all live. They're happy every day,
(06:30):
they're happy. That does seem like a better life. I
know what we're doing right now.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
When you look at pictures like you know how some
of these countries they still wear like little loincloth things
and that's all the guys wear and nobody blinks an eye.
And that's their life. And like you said, they're doing
all these other things and they don't have no idea.
And I go, wow, I go, even though they're having
a hard life, they may not know it's a hard
life and that it's just to them this. They don't
(06:55):
miss those things, they don't need those things. Like to
feel that way, must be amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, okay, I saw this in action when Alex and
I were in Africa in Tanzania several years ago. Our
friend Vienna said, Hey, there is a tribe here that
is welcoming to visitors, to people who are on safari,
and it actually would you like to go run with
them for the day? He said, it's eye opening. I
(07:24):
said yes, and I wish we could go do this,
and we may do this one day. I've always wanted
to take us all on safari. But listen, So we
met up with this safari. It took three translators to
be able to communicate with them. Wow, because that their
language is so far from hours hours to so far
from them. But they're like, all right, let's go. So yes,
(07:48):
there was long clothage going on. Some of the women
were topless and with heather babies who were, you know,
breastfeeding from time to time and this whatever. They don't care.
They don't know what day of the week it is care.
So our first stop was this big tree full of
killer bees who were making they were doing their honeycombs
(08:08):
in the tree. They went to the tree. They used
this some sort of man made machete thing to open
up the bark. They built a fire using sticks, and
they smoked these bees out as best as they could
and grabbed the honeycomb out and that was their breakfast.
And they passed it around and ate it for breakfast.
(08:29):
They shared it with us. One guy, the guy with
the largest, longest blowing cloth, he said he got stung.
He was getting stung by these bees. That would probably
make us call the hospital. Next stop. The women were
foraging for plants and flowers they used that are medicinal
because one of their friends is about to have a
baby and they needed it to cut the pain. And
(08:51):
then we stopped and this one guy, I don't know
where went blah blah blah blah whatever this lang was
language was. He pulled out a boat and arrow and
boom right into the bushes next to a tree. He
hit a rabbit, killed a rabbit. It wasn't dead yet.
He pulled a rabbit out. He didn't he we didn't
see the rabbit. He did because this is what he
does every day. The rabbit wasn't dead, so he put
(09:11):
his teeth around the rabbit's neck and killed it to
put it out of its misery. We then went and
built a big fire, built a fire, and while they
were building the fire, they were getting the rabbit ready
to eat. This was their lunch. Then they burned the
fur off of the rabbit. Then they used this machete
thing to scrape all the fur off. They pulled the
meat out. There was no salt, pepper, there was no
(09:33):
hot sauce. And this was their lunch. And this is
what they do every single day.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
My only question with this is if somebody gets really sick,
can they do They don't have access to any of
the medicines and stuff that we have.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They don't want it. How is this a better life
than Findy Gucci. They don't know Findy Gucci pod. They've
seen cameras and phones because they see it in our head.
But they we asked if they wanted to play with
They're like no, they're scared of it. The way that
you describe the primitive ways.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Of like.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Gondy give him the point and Diamond give him the point.
We're trying to talk about here.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
If you don't know what you don't know, how do
you miss it? If they have never tasted salt or
pepper or flick seasoning, they don't miss it. If they're
not constantly worrying about keeping up with other people, and
what will they think? How do they miss it? We've
created all of these constructs to stress ourselves out and
based on this conception of society and community that's telling
(10:39):
us what we should be doing. They don't have that.
They're probably happier, they're probably mentally healthier. As far as
getting sick. I have a feeling they don't get the
same sicknesses because they're probably not around the same.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They do, and they if they're all just together, they're
not bringing in anything and exercising.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
They're exercising and Scary could never go there to see
it in action because his cell phone wouldn't work and
there's no way he could possibly be there. It does
not work. There's scary. Do you do you miss your children?
I don't have any children exactly, So how can you
ever talk about what it's like having a child and
missing your child? Do you miss your three hundred and
foot three hundred and fifty foot yacht? No? I never
(11:18):
had one.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Check me.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean, it's a very stupid way of explaining it.
But you don't miss what you don't have. These people,
they don't even know what day of the week is.
They don't need to know. They don't need to know.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Ignorance really is bliss, and ignorance doesn't have to be
a bad thing. It's just I don't have that thing.
I don't know about that thing, so I.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Don't miss that thing.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I read a quote. It's one of my favorites. It
says somewhere some poor phoneless fool is probably sitting next
to a waterfall, totally unaware of how angry and scared he's.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Ah yeah, And I think that all the time. Like, yeah, man,
before all of this stuff, people might have been happier.
It was a simpler time.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Diamond thought provoke.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
My brother use his phone to text and make phone calls.
He doesn't have any apps on it. When he was
here a couple of weeks ago, he showed me his
screen time seventeen minutes for the day.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What that was it?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Amazing?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
That was it? And that was.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Texting his daughters and texting his wife and making a
phone call.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I tell you that was it.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
When we're on vacation, sometimes I will put it on
the other side of the room and not look at
it all day. I won't turn on the television. I
will and then you don't know, like the news, you
know that you've missed or whatever. And sometimes that feeling
is amazing, it is the best. And then when you
turn it on and you have to catch up, you go,
oh gosh, why I turn it on?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Crazy wow, Yeah again Diamond, thank you and Gandhi thanks
for telling us that Diamond brought that to you. It
intellectual thought today.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I love today.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Once in a while, I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Time it was, like, did you see what Teresa did?
The losers?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
The Elvis DA Ran after party
Speaker 5 (13:11):
M hm
