WINNER OF THE WEEK: Houston Woman Spent Three Days Crawling in Storm Drains Trying to Rescue Puppies

Intimacy
Relationships encompass more than just romantic feelings and passion. They are characterized by the ability to feel secure and intimate with your partner on all levels. It involves wholeheartedly sharing yourself with another person, forming a deep connection beyond mere infatuation.
Intimacy goes beyond just romantic relationships. Understanding the various levels of intimacy can help you foster deeper connections in all your relationships, not just the romantic ones. Having knowledge about these levels allows you to be more intentional and purposeful when cultivating intimacy with others.
Levels of Intimacy
1 – Safe Communication.
The level of intimacy in everyday communication with strangers is generally low. It's the kind of interaction we often have with people we don't know well, like the casual chat with a supermarket checkout girl or a brief conversation with someone at a retail store.
When it comes to using facts and information in writing, the risk of rejection is minimal or virtually nonexistent. Since personal feelings and opinions are not involved, the content tends to be more objective and less likely to be criticized or disagreed with.
2 – Sharing Other Peoples’ Opinions and Beliefs.
During this stage, we tend to open up and reveal more about ourselves by referencing what others say or believe. This can be done in a subtle manner, such as mentioning what our boss always says or commenting on a recent news event . By doing so, we gauge the other person's reaction and gain further insights into their thoughts and opinions.. When faced with individuals who hold different opinions, it is common to feel uneasy or threatened by potential criticism or rejection. In such situations, it is natural to distance ourselves as a protective response.
3 – Sharing Our Own Personal Opinions and Beliefs.
When we express our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, there is a certain level of risk involved. It opens us up to vulnerability as others may not agree or understand our perspective. However, if the outcome doesn't align wi

The Motor City Hypnotist
In this episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast. We did our last couple episodes. We talked about relationships and Matt had a great idea. Yes, I did that. Why don't we dive into the specifics? Because we covered like five or six areas in relationships that are important.

As usual, we're giving away a bunch of free stuff. Hang in there, folks, We'll be right back, Okay so funny story.
Speaker 1:So for those, of you talk about technical difficulties. You probably didn't hear a musical intro or any intro at all. It's because my computer's a piece of crap. It doesn't work. What?
Speaker 2:the heck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I've been waiting. I believe it or not, folks, I was here at 730 waiting for this computer to update, and anybody who knows waiting on Windows updates. What happens? You just sit there for forever and wait for something to happen.
Speaker 2:So that's what happens.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, you probably didn't hear the recorded intro, but if you've listened to us for a while, you know what it sounds like.

You could have, but for them all their stuff's great, but it works flawlessly every time.
Speaker 2:I found something that was really old on one of these laptops and I'm trying to plug stuff in and I'm like it won't work and I don't even think.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I don't even know if that was even our current intro. I think that was an older version of what we put through which might be interesting to listen to. Maybe we'll send that to me and we'll well, maybe we'll change it up every once in a while so you guys don't get tired of hearing the same thing over and over again, because we are on show 225 and 26 tonight.

Speaker 1:So, yeah, check out the free hypnosis guide. We're ready, matt, for a winner of the week. Yes, oh, but when it is done? Yes, there it is. Okay, there it is. Thanks, sly.
Speaker 1:So this, this was a. This is a cool story. We always like animal stories too, whenever it's a good animal story, but this is about a woman and animals. Okay, not in that way. It's crazy. So what the fuck are you doing? So let me read the story. All right, all of last weekend, cali Clemens was crawling in and out of storm drains and manhole covers in the Houston heat, okay, searching for abandoned puppies. Okay, so just that first line way to draw you into a story. Yeah, she's, she's climbing in and out of storm drains and manhole covers looking for abandoned puppies. So my first thought is why would they be in the storm drains or in the sewers? Who flushed them? Well, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. What happened here? Saying the area is infamous for puppy puppy dumping, as she refers to it grimly, she says she won't rest until all three of the black Labrador terrier muts are located. Okay, so, apparently, from what I get from the story is that that black lab terrier muts.
Speaker 2:Is that what?
Speaker 1:you said Black.
Speaker 2:Labrador terrier muts Okay, I think of a black lab as a bigger animal.
Speaker 1:Yep, and then a terrier is kind of a medium, small medium. Wow, yeah, good for that terrier. Yeah, clemens, whose name comes from her marriage with the son of a Yankee pitching legend, roger Clemens, received a call from a concerned citizen Wednesday night that three stray puppies had fallen down a storm drain in the neighborhood of Spring Branch. Oh, wow, so so she? She mentions in that second paragraph in the story the area I guess it's well known for people just coming and dumping puppies rather than taking them to a shelter or giving them to somebody who's going to take care of them so that that just makes me angry right off the bat.
Speaker 2:Amen.
Speaker 1:By Friday, clemens, a dedicated group of volunteers, and her own dog, giselle, had found two of the abandoned puppies and she was already going back down on Saturday night to find the last one.
Speaker 2:All right, I have my hand up. Yes, why is she doing this at night and not during the day, so she can actually somewhat see what's going on?
Speaker 1:Well, well, there's video attached to this story. Okay, if you, if you click on the link, you'll see she's got this big light that she takes down with her. Okay, and I think I'm guessing that, just again based on the rest of the story, that that she, that she didn't want to wait, she wanted to get there as soon as possible because this is lost. Okay, clemens says in her seven years of rescuing animals she's never lost one. While she told Britain's daily mail that the city of Houston was supportive, unlocking drains and moving manhole covers, she told the New York Post that her work stems from a lack of action on the part of the city and county or the ASCPA, who are too swamped with phone calls to stay on site more than an hour. Oh geez. So really she's saying she's not getting any help from the city or city services. But they did, and I'm surprised by this that they were unlocking drains and manhole covers for her to get in and letting her do that, which I get liability wise. I'm surprised they would even do that.
Speaker 2:There should be some type of ordinance or policy that they have in that regard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would think she said there's no way the puppy can get out by itself, so it's up to us and I have no shame to go down and get it. The five foot tall woman told the mail.
Speaker 2:Well, that's why she can get down there. She's only right, she's little yeah.
Speaker 1:While Houston Animal Control did little to help, the city was able to provide Clemens with blueprints of the spring branch sewers to help her map her way through the cockroaches and fetted water.
Speaker 2:So the city's like hey, here's some blueprints, Go help yourself, Go knock yourself out, lady Well when I hear blueprints get involved, I think of people spreading that stuff out on a big desk and they start to plan and they're like if we block this part off here and this part?
Speaker 1:right, then they can't get in. Yeah, like in aliens, very well done, put her in charge.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Game over, man Game over. So you knew exactly where I was going. Well, no, I did. I knew exactly what you're saying and I hope nobody floats down in these sewers. You know they all float down there, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I need to know did she find this third puppy?
Speaker 1:I'm not. She states I'm not stopping. I mean, I already told my mom I think I'm going to keep this dog if I find it. I'm so invested, said Callie Right. Clemens additionally told the post that she had been down in storm drains crawling around for around eight hours into the small watches of night. You smell something. The story ends there. What she still searched, she as. When the story was written, she was still looking for the third puppy. When was this story written? Don't tell me. Two years ago, no, no, no, it's like within the last couple of days.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, yes, Wow, so she's still down there looking for you. You want to?
Speaker 1:see Callie. There's Callie with one of the puppies that she rescued.
Speaker 2:Aw, yeah, that puppy is so cute, isn't it? And she has very kind eyes.
Speaker 1:Yes, the puppy, yes, yeah, and Callie does too. Oh, okay, see, yeah, there's Callie holding one of the puppies, so I'm interested to see if they, and I hope she finds the third one. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm hoping for. But again here's. Here's an individual citizen just doing something, doing something meaningful, to try to rescue these dogs. Again I getting, except for the blueprints right, getting no help from the city or animal control or anyone else. Wonder what a resume looks?
Speaker 2:like. So what are some of your stories? I can read a schematic yeah.
Speaker 1:I can, I can. If you need me to do work in the sewer systems, I'm your girl. Right, right yeah.
Speaker 2:Teenage Mutant Ninja.
Speaker 1:Turtles. So I mean it's a great story and again, somebody who's just wants to. They want to save these dogs, they want to save these puppies.
Speaker 2:Or she can. She can name the dog by you know, once it crawls into the ooze and you can call it should head, yeah.
Speaker 1:Was that?
Speaker 2:where you were going. No, I was gonna try to Steve Martin's dog and the jerk.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's right, it was shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was yes.
Speaker 1:Come on Shedad. Yeah, that's not where you were going.
Speaker 2:No, no, I was going to come up with some Renaissance type name for the puppy.
Speaker 1:Oh OK, like King Turd or like I mean I don't know what Prince Potty.
Speaker 2:I think Potty, yeah, all right, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I was talking like a Renaissance royalty name.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm thinking of the turtles in Michelangelo.
Speaker 1:Leonardo. Raphael Right, right I yeah, I kind of I kind of went off that track, clearly. So, anyway, to Kelly, clemens and the and the puppies. Hopefully the third one gets found. Oh, and before I say what a great winner of the week Actually reached out to Kelly today on Facebook, did you to see if she would like to be on our show.
Speaker 2:It's a good thing that we might be able to get her next.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm saying I'm glad it wasn't tonight, right, because that would have been a mess.
Speaker 2:Dogatello, there it is Dogatello, there you go.
Speaker 1:Got it, yep.
Speaker 2:That was stupid, but go on how about Raphael. Raphael there you go. Leo Barco. Dogatello did you say that one already? Oh, you did that one. Sorry, I'm taking yours, Matt. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I was just trying to think of another one.
Speaker 2:So this lady crawled. It is still climbing through sewers looking for the puppy.
Speaker 1:As far as I know, this is still in process, but again, this was a couple of days old, so I was looking for follow ups and I didn't find anything as of today. Congrats. Winner of the week, absolutely Winner of the week Callie Clemens and our little puppies.
Speaker 2:Thank you, doodoo, that's how we're done. Yes, there we go. So, I had come up with this brilliant idea. You did kind of dig into all of these topics. When it came to relationships, yes, you did.
Speaker 1:And it was a good idea, because oftentimes when we do subjects, you know we maybe have numerous categories and well, like we did with Q&A, we spent six episodes on Q&A or eight episodes Eight episodes. Yeah, so we wanted to make sure we give you things and information that's going to help you, so I'm curious to know what topic you decided to start.
Speaker 1:Well, we're starting with intimacy Now as soon as I say that people think sex Well, but that is a part of it. That is a part of it and we'll get to that, ok, so I'm going to tease that because you'll get it later. Speaking of sex, so you just got to hang on until we get to that, till we get to that part.
Speaker 2:Ok, the innuendos are going to start flowing. I need the soundboard, so bad right now, and my computer is just crapping itself. Sex of time, sex of time, yeah.
Speaker 1:So so we're talking about you know in general and we hit on this in relationships in the last two episodes and a high overview. So intimacy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the big thing with intimacy it goes beyond romantic relationships. You can have intimacy with your kids and with your family and with your parents, and it's not physical intimacy that's not what I'm talking about but an intimate relationship where you share things and you're kind of your real self to people, if that makes sense, right, and that's really what intimacy means is being open and transparent to other people.
Speaker 2:Does that include and I'm sorry to ask this question, but when you're comfortable and you can be yourself? Does that include bodily functions Burping, farting, passing gas, I guess?
Speaker 1:that would be part of it, because, I mean, if you're with a, you know, if you just met somebody at a dinner party, you're probably not going to burp in their face and laugh, well, because, again, you're not at that level of intimacy. But that could be part of it. And I will tell you, talking to married couples and being a married couple myself for 27 years, some of those things are just that. Could you imagine doing that, like your first date with Holly? You know what You're human.
Speaker 2:It happens Right? Yes, there's. No, there's no reason to be embarrassed by it. There's a time and a place.
Speaker 1:Well, no, absolutely but yeah, right. We're human you don't do it in public, in a restaurant.
Speaker 1:Right, you don't go out there and belch just because you can you know what you feel, but you don't feel that, that that shame if you do it at home just with your partner. Correct, right, yes, so yeah, I think that's that, that full transparency. There was a book out Gosh, it has to be 30 years ago and I'm not going to think the name specifically, but there was. It was something about being transparent, or being able to be fully transparent, or if that's really an option in relationships. Ok, because the question comes up in this book specifically is can you really be truly transparent with your partner, like everything out, nothing hidden?
Speaker 2:The answer is yes. Yes, as long as you aren't made to feel ashamed for that.
Speaker 1:Well see, but that's that's the whole catch, because most people resist being transparent because they're afraid of being judged or they're afraid of being somebody's thinking less of them in some way. Right, and that's that's a reason why, a lot of times, people kind of hold back because they don't. They don't want to be judged, they don't want to feel like, oh, am I weird, or you know?
Speaker 2:But and that's the thing you want to find someone that you're comfortable with, that you can be yourself, with you know what, and that's not going to hold it against you. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So we're going to go through and I'm going to give you levels of intimacy in order, because this is how you build a truly intimate relationship, whether it be with your partner or another relationship in your, in your life. Game on, let's go. So the first one in this hits on what we were just saying, matt it's safe communication. So safe communication is very limited, it's just what it says. It's communication that's safe, it's not. You're not putting yourself out there really and I would say everyday communication with strangers. If you're in a supermarket or if you're in a gas station and you have small talk, you don't open up to somebody that you've met for 10 seconds and say, hey, by the way, I have homicidal thoughts, whatever it is. Hopefully it wouldn't be that.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know I'm walking around this grocery store with a stiffy.
Speaker 1:Exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:Did you see those cucumbers Boy?
Speaker 1:they got nothing on me.
Speaker 2:Look at the size of them melons.
Speaker 1:So these are brief interactions, brief conversations you have with people you meet out in public. There's no risk there. There's no, there's no, there's no opening up or sharing too much Now. But see, and there are people who may do that Share too much. Probably met people out in public. That's shared too much. Yes, that you just start a conversation and all of a sudden you feel like they're therapists after five minutes or 10 minutes of listening to them.
Speaker 2:I was in banking for 22 years and I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a couch in my office. Right For somebody yep, but because the topic that you taught it's money, it's finances. Sure, people need someone to talk to about that and not be judged for it. Right? But at the same token, I've got other things I got to take care of.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. That's the whole thing and you want to and again, being in banking or any other customer service type right profession. You want to be able to connect with people. That's part of the cell. That's part of making them feel important.
Speaker 2:Right, and a good banker will steer the conversation to where it needs to go, not just let someone go off on a tangent.
Speaker 1:So the big thing with these safe communication interactions is that there's very little chance for rejection, there's very little chance for judgment. You're talking about, hey, you know, oh, looks like it's going to storm. Yeah, that cloud looks pretty dark. I mean, you're not probably going to get laughed at or ridiculed unless it's super sunny out. That's really sad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do you bring an umbrella?
Speaker 1:Right, it's 80 and sunny, right. So the whole thing with this safe communication is there are no feelings or opinions being expressed, it's just basic human discussion, interaction, and that's that's the basic level of intimacy, the first level that just you're not even scratching the surface yet. It's just starting to interact.
Speaker 2:So how are you? I'm fine. How are you? I'm good yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's it. That's it. It's just that. Base communication with no risk, got it? Level number two is when you start sharing opinions and beliefs. Now, this is where it can get a little bit more. Oh, carrie.
Speaker 2:She's referencing back at our total discussion.
Speaker 1:Oh, carrie, I got to give a shout out to you. I don't know if I commented on it, but, sidebar, carrie was at the infamous Uncle Lyle show seven years ago. Okay, so my buddy Richard Parker was in. He was at the Monroe County Fair right what out, and hung with him there. He had this adult show on Saturday night at the theater in Monroe, okay, after the fair was over, or no, no, I'm sorry, it wasn't the theater, this wasn't the theater show. This was an Uncle Lyle's on Saturday night after the fair was over, but it was an adult show, so everybody from the fair that was of 18 or over could go. Okay, go, and they bought tickets and it was a night to remember and Carrie posted that today and I meant to comment on it and I think it got sidetracked. But, yes, the famous Uncle Lyle show, which will go down. An infamy, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and a big shout out to the incredible hidden test, my buddy Richard Parker, to yeah, excellent, great night. Thanks for checking in, carrie. Yeah, thanks, carrie. So when you start sharing opinions and beliefs, now you're opening yourself up a little bit more, because now you could have disagreements, okay.
Speaker 2:So one of the most fun discussions I ever had was the question that was posed Did you read the Bible? And that's how the conversation started.
Speaker 1:Somebody asked you that. Correct, like it's just a stranger on the street.
Speaker 2:No, in the start of a relationship. Oh, and you know, you're starting to get to know somebody. And the question was posed to have you read the Bible? And my answer was yes, I have read the Bible, okay, but I and I've tried to study the Bible, but that's a lot of studying.
Speaker 1:Well, but even that basic question could be do you have a, do you have a faith?
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:That's where, that's where it kind of connects to. So I could get that that question, because in an indirect way you're kind of getting information without saying I don't know.
Speaker 2:No, don't, don't say anything.
Speaker 1:Are you a fanatic? You know, I don't know, whatever.
Speaker 2:But that's that next step where you're getting to know somebody. You start to probe a little bit because you know you're leading down a path of intimacy. Right, let's get to know them a little bit more. You know their brain and what their beliefs are instead of the bodily thing, Right?
Speaker 1:So, so, let me let me give you some examples of this. Level two, this is the second level of intimacy, and we start to open up more, but a lot of times it's in a very subtle manner.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You know, and it's just referencing what people say or believe, like, like, maybe. Maybe an example would wouldn't, you know, would be mentioning oh you know, like our boss we always says this thing or something where you think hey did you see that guy? You know turn that, you know, drive real fast through the parking lot. You're kind of teasing to get to get a gauge on people's responses. It's not fully opening up. You're just kind of testing the waters with this level, seeing if their head is on a swivel.
Speaker 1:Just to see, and just to see my head's on a swivel. That's what you gotta have when you get into a vicious cock fight.
Speaker 2:But do they pay attention to the world around them?
Speaker 1:Well, and it is just kind of gauging people's reaction or to see if they kind of have a basic similarity as far as their belief system goes. So so we gauge people's reactions to these little teases that we give. It's nothing super serious, it's nothing deep and on an emotional level or you know world changing, but but you learn about people with these simple statements or simple observations, to see if they're maybe on the same page as you or if they agree with you.
Speaker 1:Interesting, uh huh. So, and here's the other thing is that when you, when you mention something and somebody holds a conflicting point, even on these basic things like hey, I'll go back to my example, maybe not a great one, but hey, did you hear what the boss said about that? And they might say, oh yeah, I think it's great.
Speaker 2:And then you're like wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Okay, but but even that simple exchange, all of a sudden you now have a little bit of a guard up because that person's not thinking the way you are yeah, the way you are, gotcha, and and it's natural to kind of then distance yourself from this person because that one little thing could make you be like, okay, that's, they're not, they're not on my, they're not my wavelength, right, yeah, um, so, yeah, it really is. It's kind of like testing the waters in a relationship. It's almost if you're in a romantic relationship or you're hoping it's going to be a romantic relationship. That that's where you start having innocuous conversations like oh, what do you like to do? What are your hobbies? Um, kind of movies. Do you like? Sure Stuff? That's not world changing, or or it's going to be very serious or hurtful in any way, but but it's just to feel out where they're at, right, you know, surface level interaction. That gets that how you get to know people I like to read.
Speaker 2:You know I haven't picked up a book in a while, but you know back as Homer would say, readings for squares. Um, but I always like to know who's someone's favorite author to read.
Speaker 1:Uh huh.
Speaker 2:And because I have my favorite author, sure, and I'm always curious about what other people like to read, and that's where that that well, did you read the Bible? Came from.
Speaker 1:Uh, okay, you're talking about authors. Okay, okay, yeah, right, no.
Speaker 2:I like to ask that question when I'm getting to know somebody because, I want to know where their tastes lie as far as stories. Yeah Right, if they say I read every Star Trek book ever, I'm going to put a wall up a little bit, because I like the Star Trek, I just don't like the books.
Speaker 1:I've only read one Star Trek book, one Star Trek novel, okay, and I just felt like it's fan fiction because it takes you out of the real experience of it. And again, that's a geek. We're going down geek road, but but that's my point. On a side note, matt, who is your favorite author? Sydney Sheldon, okay.
Speaker 2:You know who's any show.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, master of the game was probably one of my most favorite stories. Okay, you know three Generations of a family that made their money off of diamonds. You know diamond mines in Africa. I just the story is incredible. Yeah, and that's what got me started down the Sydney Sheldon path. Yeah, the memories of midnight and everything, the sands of time everything else Okay. Yeah, it's my one of my favorite authors. Nice, he wrote he was one of the writers of my dream of Jeannie. Yeah right, yes.
