Episode 36: Get Your D*cks Out of the Oven

In this episode of 'The Mental Funny Bone,' Sarah and Christine offer a mix of humor and heartfelt conversation. They jump right into uproarious anecdotes about their unruly dogs and family antics, including Thanksgiving tales of spoiling pets and wardrobe conundrums. The conversation shifts to a poignant discussion on depression, using a quote from the show 'Jenny and Georgia' to paint a vivid picture of the condition. They continue their deep dive into mental health by summarizing meditation tips from Dan Harris's '10 Percent Happier,' emphasizing mindfulness and loving-kindness practices. The episode wraps up with intentions for self-improvement in the coming year, balancing more focused content with their signature comedic flair.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 5:24

everybody except for me seems to be in, and I feel like that makes me look like the bad person, so, yeah, I guess, I guess I'm the bad person, but,

Chris 5:33

you're the one who has to be married to him. It's like half, you're other half there running around in some jackboots for, For Thanksgiving. cool though.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 5:41

Still in a situation where he has to fucking explain who Jack Burton is to everyone.

Chris 5:46

I said it his

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 5:47

brothers are the only two that know. Yeah.

Chris 5:50

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 6:08

Hank Yeah, it's

Chris 6:10

So old. Oh! Before I give Noah his Thanksgiving props, I have to tell you that somebody listened to the podcast and told David that his wife swears a lot.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 6:23

Oh, that's

Chris 6:24

I was like, Are you sure it was me? Because sometimes people get, if there's two people, sometimes It might be the one talking on which one

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 6:35

Yeah. Yeah.

Chris 6:36

I'm like, I feel like I don't swear that much in a,

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 6:41

feel like we both hold our own in that arena.

Chris 6:44

Fair enough. Fair enough. So your husband cooked for 14 hours on Thanksgiving day. That doesn't include the Turkey prep time, where I imagine took Turkey took like a nice, salt bath with some herbs and such

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 6:58

And he got injected. Yeah, male? I don't know. But yeah, that, that, that turkey was salt bathed, injected with some shit. Noah told me yesterday, however he did it, he was like, I'm going to do it that way again with the injection and blow. And then I stopped listening and I was like, I don't fucking know how you did zero attention.

Chris 7:20

That sounds hun.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 7:22

Sounds good. Cause it tasted

Chris 7:23

delicious My god.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 7:26

well, both of them. Cause he did two turkeys. Yeah. Yeah.

Chris 7:29

you needed a tester turkey for the sandwiches.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 7:32

Yeah.

Chris 7:33

not only did he spend that much time cooking, he prepared a tablescape, if you will, Martha Stewart worthy tablescape. Although like at this point, we're blending all of the holidays because I think there was a Christmas tablecloth on the table, but I admire the, the chaos of it all. Like I admire the Halloween costume, the Thanksgiving turkey and the Christmas tablecloth. I think they all,

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 8:02

like it was a Polish holiday.

Chris 8:04

yeah, Every, everything was everywhere. and what I did, what I usually do on Thanksgiving, which is get up a bit, a tick early from the table and sneak away, hoping that no one will ask me to do any dishes or clean up in any way. Yeah Because I hate it. I hate touching the old food. I hate it when the gravy gets on my fingers. I hate that whole part. everything about cold food and me touching it and trying to put it someplace else is just Nasty. Nasty.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 8:33

Niesty.

Chris 8:35

Like the honey badger. But I, came back upstairs and poked my head in and to make sure that somebody was cleaning up because I can't leave it either. and That's

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 8:46

lie, by the way. You could definitely leave it. Like, you've definitely laid on the couch, like, right next to the kitchen. Mm

Chris 8:52

go ahead Go home, in my own home, nobody will do

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 8:54

it I'll it

Chris 8:56

Fine. Fine. If no one is going to can princess passenger, me passenger me and can clean my kitchen for me, then fine. I'll do it. but Noah had laid out to go containers like meal prep. Noah had meal prepped for us, there were like 25 containers of leftovers in the refrigerator. So when we left to go home the next day, we could just go shopping. I'll have that one. I'll have this one with sandwich, cheese and

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 9:28

box. Yeah. and he very adamant about that. Like he was like, keep our mothers out of the kitchen. Sorry, mom. I don't want anybody cleaning. I'll take care of everything. I was like, Hey, if you're volunteering for I'm not going to stop you. Like, but he see, it seemed to make him very happy.

Chris 9:49

right. He looked really content while he was doing He didn't, I think maybe he just didn't have to interact with your family as

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 9:56

I was just going to say he didn't have to participate in the games that were going on

Chris 10:00

Right.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 10:01

our family, his family. He just, he got to stay in the kitchen and just by himself. I mean, if we were right by him and he had to listen to us, but he didn't have to participate. So that might the trick.

Chris 10:16

he got to participate in the the pool tournament that was fun Yeah

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 10:21

was a very good Thanksgiving.

Chris 10:23

Yeah props Props to Noah That was very enjoyable the the only thing the only constructive feedback I would have would be that mashed potatoes and gravy go together And I got a lot of gravy and no mashed potatoes in my Right

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 10:37

You took all the fucking gravy.

Chris 10:41

I was Okay

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 10:42

So Noah, next year we've got, you've have to meal prep better. The mashed potatoes go in and then the gravy goes in on top of it. You can't just put all the gravy in one container because some dumb ass will take that whole container.

Chris 10:53

It wasn't all gravy It was stuffing and gravy

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 10:58

I, you guys left. I sent a text to Jen and Ivan. I was like, Hey, busting out leftovers. Come on over. They came over. I'm getting all the things out. I'm like, where the fuck is the gravy?

Chris 11:09

I

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 11:09

How can I what and I was so excited for an open faced hot turkey sandwich

Chris 11:15

Oh yeah that requires

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 11:17

a lot of gravy

Chris 11:18

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 11:26

Chris 11:38

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 11:57

Chris 11:58

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 12:05

it was a big deal. It was a big fucking deal. And man, if you were ordering for stores So I would just fucking load them up on gravy. That was my tactic.

Story

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 14:55

Sarah, okay, just has a blank stare on my face. Oh, okay. So Noah wanted me to share a story. this could be our growing up gasser, even though it's, we were already very grown, my sister and I, we were talking about black Friday, not my sister and I, Jen and Ivan, Noah's sister, blah, blah, blah. we were talking about black Friday and why people are crazy and why they go out and do their shopping. And I was like, well, most people, it's just tradition. You know, we tried it for a couple of years. I think that's

Chris 15:24

when

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 15:25

we had babies.

Chris 15:27

So

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 15:29

super early anyway. So it was like four o'clock. Yeah, just fucking go to the store. Why And this gives us an excuse to be away the baby.

Chris 15:38

We could leave them with our mothers and mother in laws

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 15:42

Yeah. So, so yeah, we did that for a while and I said, but my favorite outing was the first time we went day after Christmas shopping, were Target. And we're getting ready to check out. I got like all new Christmas decorations. Like shit was so fucking cheap. It was amazing. I was getting 8, 000 Christmas balls for a dollar. Like we were getting so much shit and that's literally how we walked through the store, like thrown shit into the basket, supermarket sweep style, giggling, laughing,

Chris 16:13

how Supermarket style

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 16:16

going to be. And we get to the checkout and the guy says, Hi there. How are you? And my sister being her fun little self gives a little clap and goes,

Chris 16:27

give a little clap

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 16:29

we're drunk with bargains is what she says.

Chris 16:32

Drunk with bargains

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 16:34

And I thought it was the best thing ever. I wanted it tattooed on me right then and there. It was like, Oh my God, we are like, it's then that's, and that's what we laughed about for the rest of, I don't know, the week that probably took us through the week.

Chris 16:48

Oh years I think we haven't laughed about that particular one in quite some time but I think it did carry us for years

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 16:55

It did. Drunk with bargains over here.

Chris 16:57

Amazing

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 16:59

it was one of my favorites. So Noah wanted me to share that story because I shared it with him past week and he Whether he says he sat there with a blank stare or not to that story. He obviously found it somewhat entertaining.

Chris 17:15

a great I don't think that you can discount the fact that my chemistry in my brain was altered by the fact that I got dollar wrapping paper

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 17:23

Mm hmm

Chris 17:24

Yeah a big deal for some reason the shit wasn't all picked over the shit wasn't all picked over because we got there at 4 30 in the morning

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 17:33

right. We were there very early. We were ready for it We were old ladies out of the fucking way

Chris 17:39

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 17:43

Remember the time we went to Kohl's at midnight?

Chris 17:46

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 17:55

Chris 18:01

hours hours four of them

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 18:04

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 18:10

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 18:34

Right. It was so disappointing. It

Chris 18:35

Look at their legs Look at their legs

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 18:39

I think after that I stopped trying. That's why we don't have a lot of traditions in our house. Because I was just mad that they didn't latch onto that immediately.

Chris 18:46

Why do you guys have to be dicks all the time You stay here with your grandparents We're leaving

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 18:52

idiots, man.

Chris 18:56

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 19:07

were probably holding court and entertaining them is what happened.

Chris 19:13

Chris 19:21

that Yeah were

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 19:22

That's makes me think of it. I think it was at Sue's on Saturday and I think maybe Sam said something like, hmm, he didn't hold court like I expected him to tonight.

Chris 19:36

My god

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 19:37

Anyway,

Chris 19:38

Alright let's talk about let's talk about other stuff That was a growing gaster I think we did everything

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 19:43

Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's it. I have, I have, let's get into the mental health stuff. have something to share because I feel like we've been focusing a lot on the meditation and we're going to, I'm going to talk about that in a second. The, the end we're wrapping up for real, putting 10 percent happier

Chris 20:01

today

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 20:02

putting a bow ner.

Chris 20:05

Killing it ladies and gentlemen Huh

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 20:08

You're all week or all month or all day.

Chris 20:10

it For the next 30 minutes

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 20:15

Anyway, so I, I was reading something the other day and there,

Chris 20:19

there

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 20:19

was an article about, movies that. a good job describing depression, do a good job showing what depression is really like.

Chris 20:30

And

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 20:31

it made me, I actually didn't read the article yet, but, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. I just saw it and was like, Ooh, I'm gonna have to come back to that one. but it did remind me of something because I feel like, depression is really hard to describe, for anybody to describe. It's very hard to understand if you don't go through it. But. in my 30 years of dealing with it. Just probably last year, I found a show on Netflix that described it perfectly.

Chris 21:05

Oh no

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 21:07

it's Jenny

Chris 21:07

and Georgia

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 21:09

Yeah, going to

Chris 21:10

cry probably

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 21:11

Yeah, but I feel like it's important that we share it. And I, I, we've been so much on meditation that we haven't really talked about.

Chris 21:18

you have I've been focusing on my seasonal depression

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 21:21

yeah, so, and, and this kind of gives you, it gives you an idea. So I'm going to read what it is and I can remember it was the first time that like, I can remember sitting there watching the TV and being like. Wow, wait a second. And I rewound it and listened to it again and I was like, wow, and I was crying. And like for, for 30 years, the first one that like really was like, wow, that's, that's definitely it. So I'm going to read it. some feelings are like old familiar friends. Depression is like that. When not in it, you don't remember it. You remember it's bad. You remember the darkness, crying already.

Chris 21:57

Oh god

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 21:59

But it's different to feel it again. It's the difference between remembering what a room looks like and actually walking through the door. Being inside it again, feeling it. When the episode starts, it can be slow at first. An intrusive thought like, I don't want to be here. But then it's gone. You bat it away like a fly or a bad smell. Like Macho's fart. When it hits

Chris 22:21

you fully say that

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 22:23

No. When it hits you fully though, you're in it, it's everything. It's who you are. You are nothing else. On the outside, you look the same, smiling and pretending is so much work, but inside it's a different story. You start to hate yourself. You're so alone, so unbelievably alone. think we know what's going on with other people, but we don't. Everyone's fighting a battle you can't see. We all have blind spots. And you you, you know, there is something wrong with you and it's exhausting. It's so shitty and so exhausting. It's a void and exists. And existing takes so much energy. You want to sink into a hole of nothing where no one talks to you and you don't have to smile or talk or be. You've been here before, gotten out of it before. But the getting out part becomes the room that you remember, but aren't in. And that's what's scary. Being back in the room where depression lives. It's a sharp pain and an overwhelming numbness.

Chris 23:29

Oh yeah I like that I don't like that That's hideous But I like the room analogy a lot I don't remember it when I'm in it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 23:39

Yeah.

Chris 23:39

and I don't remember how to get out of it when I'm in it that's a good analogy I can understand that

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 23:50

I thought it made a lot of sense. And again, I just listened to it a few times and was like, wow, that's yeah, that's it. Because you, when you crawl out of it and you get back to normal, it's awesome. But you know, it's always around the corner. And it's scary and that's why I know, one of our friends, Michelle says in mental health recovery or, and, focusing on wellbeing. And that's kind of, I like that terminology because the recovery part of it is that it's always around the corner

Chris 24:29

Yes

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 24:29

and you always have to be mindful of it. So anyway, there's that.

Chris 24:35

I like that I think that's good to have that description because seasonal depression is not that right Like seasonal depression is being a bit sad because it's dark all the time and being angry about that like this and being in a bad mood And there there are flavors of that In my little world right now like there are flavors of I just don't want to talk to anybody I don't smile I don't want to do anything I don't want to go anywhere Like the neighbor up the street his daughter had a baby and like come up and see the baby And I was like I'm already in my pajamas

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 25:14

Yeah.

Chris 25:15

It's cold out I'm not I don't want to

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 25:20

Yeah.

Chris 25:20

That's Yeah like flavors of that but not I can't imagine major depressive disorder if seasonal depression is just making me feel icky all the time Like it's like having a paper cut and then someone comes along and said do you see the point we hear where I got 12 stitches yeah I do see my paper cut It really my

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 25:42

paper cut?

Chris 25:43

It really hurts

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 25:44

Yeah. But your paper cut is still yours and still hurts and is still valid to feel that pain. So it doesn't

Chris 25:49

matter

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 25:50

doesn't matter the extent it's, I wanted to share that just because I know that there are people who will listen to this and that don't understand that feeling. And even after listening to that, they still don't fully understand it, but maybe it gives you a little bit of a hint of. The inner workings of someone who is battling major depression and I've been there and it's terrible and that I haven't been there for several years, like to that extent. but again, it's a reminder that it's always there.

Chris 26:27

in a lot of the stuff that we're trying to do like reading these books and meditating and finding ways to be better people it's because we don't want to be there right it's like that recovery process I need to change my brain Not I need to think about things differently I need to recognize an intrusive thought and be like oh hello off you go

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 26:54

Yeah. you

Chris 26:56

Nice to see you intrusive thoughts I recognize you for being a thought and I will Namaste you right out the fucking door

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:04

Right. Namaste you right the door. That's

Chris 27:07

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:08

Chris 27:14

Merge you right out fucking door Goodness

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:20

okay. So let's talk about the end of 10 percent happier. So Dan

Chris 27:26

Harris you guys it's the end

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:29

the end?

Chris 27:30

it's the end of it it turns out we get like 10 episodes per book

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:34

And let's see. like it. I like it. so end of 10 percent happier, what Dan Harris does at the end is just kind of collects all of his, little bits of advice, his meditation pro tips.

Chris 27:48

is

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:48

what he kind of puts together. and I think they're worth reviewing really quick for anybody who's actually trying meditate because I

Chris 27:56

Let's do it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 27:57

these things are things that help me, continue to work on my meditation practice, which I am now becoming one of those people who tells everybody about meditation and they look at me like I'm fucking crazy.

Chris 28:11

I mentioned it the other day in a meeting I was like yeah I'm meditating they were like how

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 28:17

Really? Right.

Chris 28:19

Right like yeah Do you talk while you meditate I was like I don't talk all the time shy I'm shy

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 28:29

Yes. I'm shy now. Listen to me. All of you.

Chris 28:35

exactly right Yeah tips Pro Let's do it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 28:39

So different. So he goes through a bunch of different types of meditation. I only focus here on the basic mindfulness meditation, which is what I do most of the time and loving kindness meditation, which I try to do. That's the meta. Yeah. I believe.

Chris 28:56

I love it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 28:58

so first of all, the basic mindfulness meditation. So there's, three things he focuses on. Number one, sit comfortably. I feel like that makes sense, right? You got to be I personally lay down, but I'm only doing it for 10 minutes. Like that's, as far as I'm doing it, I think once I start extending that, the sits, I'm going to have to actually sit cause I will go to sleep after 10 minutes. So,

Chris 29:23

was Lovely

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 29:26

I mean, Dan says, yeah, you might fall asleep if you're laying down, but maybe if fall asleep, then you should wake up and, and think about that. Why are you falling asleep? Do you need more sleep at night? Do you, what are you, what are you lacking that's making you sleep? Okay.

Chris 29:40

Dan

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 29:42

so I've been trying to sit more. Instead of just laying down and recently it's fun because I've been on the treadmill like I do a walk on the Peloton and then I do Meditation afterwards, so I've just been laying on the treadmill Doing the meditation anyway

Chris 29:59

Where's your happy place Right here Right And

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 30:04

Number two is about your breath, which is what they focus on. So when I get when I start I'm losing focus. I focus back on the breath. And one of the things I do is when you breathe in, and I didn't know this until I paid attention to it. When you breathe in, it's more of a, it's a cooler sensation. And when you breathe out, it's a warmer sensation. So I breathe in cool and I breathe out, breathe out warm, breathe in cool. Breathe out warm. Like that's what I say in my head to get back into it. So

Chris 30:33

Oh

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 30:34

that's a very common thing. and third is that actual thing is returning to the breath. So when you get lost in thought, which by the way, you will get lost in thought a bazillion times in just 10 minutes,

Chris 30:47

how did I get here How did I get here Why am thinking about a Mack truck being in my parking lot

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 30:54

Right, right. Well, I might think about Amish bread. That's fucking Like I can't, what am I doing? I'm an idiot. and this is something that happens constantly and this is one of the reasons why a lot people won't even try meditation because they feel like they have to completely stop their brain and that's not, that's not what it's about. Forgiving yourself and starting over is actually what Dan calls the whole game. That's what it's all about. And one of his mentors States beginning again and again is the actual practice not a problem to overcome So you're constantly like that. That's what all about. You're constantly saying. Oh, there's a thought you go over there and I'll get back to me Oh, there's a thought you get over there. That's what it's all about And what else was it? Oh, this is the other analogy I liked. if you think about it in a sport manner, like soccer, the object is not to erase the opposing team, but to play as well as possible against the other team. So the thoughts in this case is the other team.

Chris 31:59

They're like I see you

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 32:01

Yeah. So you're there and I'm going to do what I can to better you. And that's what our thoughts are. what else? So then let's get to loving kindness. I have some other stuff written about mindful meditation. Oh yeah. The one thing I wanted to note is mental noting, which I didn't that's an actual specific thing. So once thinking, yeah, once you start thinking about something, you need to give it a little note, a little mental note and push it off. So like this morning when I was meditating, I was thinking about things I have to do today. And I was like, nope. And I said, planning off to the side. And then I got back to my breath and then I started thinking about it again, like, Oh, planning off to the side. So you give it a little note and you push it off and that stops you from diving deeper into it. Just giving it that name and moving it off. And then the other one he said was counting your breaths. Go one to 10 once you get to 10 start over, but good luck getting to 10 basically because you're going to want to, I think

Chris 33:06

it like

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 33:07

Yeah, exactly. The next one is a loving kindness meditation. And I actually learned that I haven't been doing it right. Cause I've just

Chris 33:15

Oh no

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 33:16

on people that I like.

Chris 33:18

Oh

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 33:20

So what you need to do in loving kindness, meditation is you choose six different individuals to think about throughout this meditation, meditating session, whatever you want to call it, sit. the first one you think of someone that's easy to love. A child or a pet, those are

Chris 33:41

easy to love

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 33:42

depending on the day, depending on the day. so once you have that person thought of, once you're thinking about that person and focusing on them, you repeat, may you be happy, may you be safe, may you be healthy, may you live with ease. Chew on that for a little bit and then go to the next one. The next one is yourself. So you're wishing that love and kindness on yourself. You repeat the same four things. The next one is a mentor, someone that has helped you. The next one is someone neutral, somebody that you see regularly but overlook them. So I don't know, the lady that makes your coffee every morning at Starbucks. Just someone random. and then, You pick a different or a difficult person, which he does state here specifically, go with someone that's mildly annoying. Like don't go directly to someone who infuriates you. have written here a very specific example, but I won't say it, but like you can't go specifically stay away from politics. Just go to someone who's mildly annoying. and you repeat those four things. May you be happy. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you live with ease. And then the last one is all beings everywhere, because that's, we want everybody to be happy and that loving kindness. And this is where people are like, hippie, dippy, you smell like patchouli.

Chris 35:07

It's Patchouli smells nice parts of I actually

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 35:10

I actually, depending on the type of patchouli, there different types?

Chris 35:14

you can get it at Five Below and that shit doesn't smell good at all

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 35:17

Ooh, I do. I really like the smell of a dirty hippie, to be honest with you.

Chris 35:22

I just put together a few things the other day that Olivia went through a phase where we were buying a lot of patchouli and smelly things from five crystals and crystals And I remember

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 35:34

crystals. Yeah.

Chris 35:37

I'm thinking this was designed to hide smells more than anything So it just occurred to like two weeks ago I was like wait a minute

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 35:49

Wait, are you spoken pot?

Chris 35:52

It smells like dirty hippies in here

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 35:55

Hmm, interesting.

Chris 35:58

I don't know why it would have taken me that long to figure that out but there we go Carry on Yeah why were we talking about dirty hippies

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 36:06

because the loving kindness

Chris 36:08

Oh yeah

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 36:08

a, it's one of those things that's like, okay. but, It can be very helpful sending that out into the world making you feel better again You're including yourself in that so you need to give yourself grace sometimes and wish well upon yourself And just a few reminders about meditation and I really like this one Meditation is the best tool for creating a new relationship with the voice in your head instead of trying to quiet it You're making friends with it

Chris 36:40

I like this

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 36:41

I like that one because I always say I have an unquiet mind and I can't stop them. I can't stop the thoughts and it's not about stopping the thoughts. It's about acknowledging them and not getting lost in them.

Chris 36:54

practicing

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 36:56

sitting

Chris 36:56

one

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 36:58

Oh, bless you. Bless you. it's a practice. Doing one meditation isn't going to you Dalai Lama.

Chris 37:07

I'm not do it then

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 37:08

Most things you start aren't easy at the beginning, which are those things I normally quit immediately. So I'm kind of proud of myself that I'm still pushing forward in the meditation because I'm definitely not all that great at it,

Chris 37:24

I'm of you too

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 37:25

I'm getting better and I'm seeing. positive results because of it. Remember when you made me go do rowing

Chris 37:34

Yes Yes I'd like

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 37:36

lie about who I was and that I it before. That's the one, that's the one and only thing I can remember not being good at immediately and continuing to do it. But was, that was hysterical. Like trying to act like I knew what the fuck was going on. That's one of

Chris 37:54

our listen you're gonna get in the boat and you're just gonna do I didn't row remember I was the cocks

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:00

Yeah, you were the coxswain. I think that's why I want to do it just because of the name of the coxswain. Yeah.

Chris 38:05

Which is why Olivia

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:06

was

Chris 38:06

the calf cockson Why coxswain Olivia was the cow for Christmas so she could say teats

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:14

teats. She was a cow for Christmas.

Chris 38:16

Fuck

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:17

fucking them all up. It's Noah's fault.

Chris 38:19

They're all running together now

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:22

then, one more thing sitting dealing with physical This is where I have a problem because as soon as I feel like a little bit uncomfortable, I'm like, Oh, I'm going to

Chris 38:35

move

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 38:37

or as soon as I have an itch, I'm like, Oh, I'm going to scratch it. Cause just makes sense. but they say to try to sit still and just acknowledge the pain and use mental noting to kind of move past it. And sometimes you'll realize that it's not the pain that's intolerable, but instead it's just your resistance to that pain. So this is something new for me that I need to try because even this morning I was like, Ooh, I'm uncomfortable. That's not making my hip feel good. So I kind of moved a little bit. So that's one that I have a big, big problem with. anyway, and the last thing I have noted here is that I actually have found something that I know more about than Dan Harris,

Chris 39:21

What is

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 39:21

smartest person ever, there, why there might be empty pages at the end of a book and why he wants to, why he needed to fill them. Cause at the end of the book he said, well, here's the point where I would normally be done. But. The publisher said that there's going to be empty pages. I can fill them if I want. I should probably fill them. I don't know why there's going to be empty pages. That doesn't make sense. There should just be the pages that we need.

Chris 39:46

Why are there empty pages Because you worked in printing

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 39:50

This is a little printing knowledge, so I'm sure Noah can probably explain it better than I can. But from my printing memory, the way the books are printed are in large sheets of paper. So each large paper has a layout to it, which we call a signature. So they're even signatures. It's normally four, eight, 1632 and so on. so in order to efficiently and cost effectively print. They have different size, large sheets. And sometimes the signatures that work be the most efficient and most cost effective are going to leave a few empty pages at the end. you can't just cut them out. I like people think, but that's not the way goes.

Chris 40:34

with scissors in there

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 40:35

Yeah, it doesn't. It's, it's not the it works. The way the folding machines work, the way the cutting machines work, the way that it folds together, cause it's kind of like origami sometimes. you can't just

Chris 40:46

cut

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 40:46

it out. Cut them out. A signature gets folded and then put into the book. So there might be empty pages at the end. And trying to cut those out would add some cost and production time to it as well. So there you go. There's my

Chris 41:04

I feel smarter right now I'm going to forget that in about 14 seconds but I'm going to be like somebody once told me why there were extra pages Huh

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 41:13

Yeah, there you go.

Chris 41:16

So What are we reading for you We are going

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 41:20

I have it right here. We are going to read Michael Gervais, Ricky Gervais, or Michael Ricky. That's what I'm going to call him.

Chris 41:32

The first

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 41:33

rule The first rule of mastery, stop worrying about what people think of you. So this is what got us started. I heard, I heard Michael Gervais interviewed by Dan Harris on 10 percent happier podcast. And this was the thing that I listened to that was like, wait a second. I think that we should talk about mental health stuff a little bit more.

Chris 42:01

It's purpose and performance right

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 42:04

Yep.

Chris 42:05

You can do it. Yeah.

Chris 43:12

Yeah know I can do it I can do it I would like my brain to be different I let I do really like the idea of interacting with my thoughts and being like me show you the way to exit the brain sir

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 43:25

Yeah. We're going to become friends, kind of, but it's basically building a relationship with your asshole of a brain.

Chris 43:35

I love it I think that's it I think that's all we got It's a teeny tiny mini boner episode this week guys

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 43:42

Yeah, it's, well, it's the holidays, I feel like, and I just, I want to make a statement too, to let everybody know that we're going to be, and maybe I, maybe I said this last week or the week

Chris 43:54

I cut out every time you talk about what we're going to do in the future I cut it out

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 43:58

because you don't want to make the commitment to it

Chris 44:00

it's just that sometimes these things are gonna we sometimes these things happen and then sometimes they don't happen and you know sometimes it's the same some I'm afraid of the future

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 44:16

Yeah. And that's okay.

Chris 44:19

I have therapy today Therapy today You Well then

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 44:24

I won't, then I won't say anything cause you're going to cut it out.

Chris 44:27

if it makes you feel better you can say it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 44:31

we are, we're looking to change some things up in the new year. So it'll be a new year, new funny boners,

Chris 44:39

something new bones

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 44:41

New year, new bones, new year, new boners, new year, new you boners. I don't know, Whatever.

Chris 44:48

Whatever we're still to do Yeah

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 44:51

We're still going to do the same stuff. We're probably going to start doing shorter episodes and maybe not rambling so much to each other. trying to focus maybe a little bit more and,

Chris 45:02

Yeah seems strange start

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 45:04

like doing real things like, and maybe do some marketing stuff

Chris 45:08

Yeah, we're gonna try, we think that we're doing good work. Cause people have told us we're doing good work. And,

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 45:13

and we to

Chris 45:14

it

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 45:14

better.

Chris 45:15

Yeah. and we want to do, we want to do a better job. we are both endeavoring, to stop the thoughts and the voices in our heads that are telling us to, to pretend like we're not in this to do something good for more than just, just a handful of us. So we're hoping get more boners out there, guys.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 45:36

Yay. More

Chris 45:37

I it wrong It felt wrong, what I said.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 45:41

looking to boners.

Chris 45:43

What? That is wrong. I shouldn't have said that, but, The listening to the voice in our head that tells us we should be satisfied with whatever we've just done and be happy with that, we're going to, we're going to give that voice a thumbs up, show it to the door and say, but I think we can do more and can do more if we do better. So that's what we're going to try in the new year. We're doing some planning.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 46:06

effort. Yeah. We're going to plan more. I mean, if you like us so far, we really haven't done a lot to do what we've been doing, except to books. So, we're going to put a little effort in it and see what happens. Throw it out

Chris 46:20

there yeah, at, the end of, at the end of the day, we're We still gotta be us,

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 46:26

Oh yeah. There, I will still say fuck a lot. there will still be moments, plenty of moments where we get off track and go down a rabbit hole that we didn't mean to, but it'll happen. I like to think those are the entertaining times. So keep

Chris 46:40

doing Namaste the fuck right out the door.

riverside_sarah_raw-synced-video-cfr_gaster_girls's stud_0099 46:45

You need to write that down. Oh, well, I guess it'll be recorded. So
