thing15400:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760okay well first off my parents are married for about 27 years15500:07:15,560 --> 00:07:15,960um15600:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,640my senior year of high school they got a divorce15700:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,720and that was like life-changing shocking15800:07:26,760 --> 00:07:33,480I grew up in a middle class bubble all of a sudden grew up overnight at 1815900:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,800um my mom is originally from England her my grandparents have lived there but they16000:07:39,800 --> 00:07:46,520always came and visited us while we were growing up and so at this point it is 202016100:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,320my parents have been divorced they're somewhat amicable haven't really the last16200:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,640time they were really together was my college graduation 2017 and then my dad16300:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,480helped us move out to LA16400:07:59,480 --> 00:08:09,080um so just like small periods of time together got to 2020 um both my16500:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,640grandparents in England are in the hospital16600:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,160on your on your mom's side16700:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,760yes my mom's parents16800:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,040both your mom's parents16900:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,280yes17000:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,480just a travesty17100:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840yes yes they died about a month apart they were both 9017200:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,520within the same year right or was it17300:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,080yes both 2020 so my grandpa had been going downhill for about a year he had17400:08:29,080 --> 00:08:36,280dementia um and my grandma had issues with her kidneys basically with their17500:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,720health care system once you hit a certain age they don't necessarily want17600:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,480to funnel a lot of money into treatment for you so her kidneys were failing and17700:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,640they were not going to give her dialysis17800:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,440fuck England17900:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,000England18000:08:47,000 --> 00:08:56,120yeah um so we we visited in 2019 just my mom my sister and I and my sister's now18100:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,680husband and we visited them because we knew my grandpa was going downhill18200:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,040didn't know covid was gonna happen18300:09:02,840 --> 00:09:09,480March 2020 they're both in the hospital um basically my grandma passed away and18400:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,480then even though my grandpa had dementia he was aware that something was weird18500:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,440he kept asking for my grandma a few days later he passed away um18600:09:18,440 --> 00:09:18,760days18700:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000about a couple weeks18800:09:23,560 --> 00:09:23,720wow18900:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,440almost a couple weeks um they had put him kind of in a living facility but like19000:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,360kind of hospice and because of covid we weren't able to go over there we were19100:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,080just getting calls from the nurses they say he died of covid but we believe he19200:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,520stopped eating before that19300:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,200they really said he died of covid19400:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,440they believed that he had covid because he was having issues with um his lungs19500:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,880but we also believe that he was aware that my grandma passed away even though19600:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,800he had dementia he basically kind of gave up like he stopped eating and stuff like19700:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,560that days prior to getting a call saying that they thought he might have covid19800:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,960um so kind of mixed mixed symptoms there19900:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000and then your mom had to handle a bunch of stuff throughout the pandemic20000:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,480yes so because of covid something that would probably take i don't know one to20100:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,680six months with the estate and inheritance all of that has dragged on20200:10:16,680 --> 00:10:22,520until march of this year um three years yes three years because of covid people20300:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,880weren't in office our wonderful solicitor we've been working with um she's working20400:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,520from home

00:10:45,160year so basically this process got drawn out for three years and so march of this20700:10:45,160 --> 00:10:51,480year i was actually um end of february we're taking my mom to vegas for her 60th20800:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,240birthday it's my sister my mom and i and we got an email from the lawyer basically20900:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,120saying hey um not only had there been flooding at the cottage my grandparents21000:11:00,120 --> 00:11:06,200slept in which i got a call about christmas eve um we then got an email saying basically21100:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,960we got to move this stuff as fast as possible because the house was wrecked or yeah basically21200:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,600the interior of the cottage was pretty much gutted when it came to all the stuff which is21300:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,480unfortunate we were originally your parent your grandparents had this beautiful cottage in the21400:11:23,480 --> 00:11:29,400in the english countryside yes they live in the cotswolds um near brackley and so we're sitting21500:11:29,400 --> 00:11:36,680with royalty folks with a beautiful princess with some space buns on her absolutely gorgeous and21600:11:36,680 --> 00:11:42,760originally the plan was to just when we were able to we were waiting on the bank accounts because21700:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,760we didn't have the money to get over there so once the bank accounts originally the plan was21800:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,680my mom will have access to the bank accounts and will not be in her name you had to get to london21900:11:50,680 --> 00:11:55,000we had to yeah we had to get to london and the plan was why couldn't you just do a zoom like22000:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,800move this to the left get this out throw that out there's so much stuff so my i mean my22100:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,520grandparents were born in the 20s they've lived through so much that in the last few years of22200:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,280their life they loved going and teaking into like auctions so there was so much stuff in every room22300:12:10,280 --> 00:12:16,680of the cottage and there's just some liability with throwing away the wrong thing like my mom22400:12:16,680 --> 00:12:21,000not like my mom just really wanted to have closure in the cottage to go through everything because22500:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,080that was her whole childhood my parents lived there when i was born like they they spent so much of22600:12:27,080 --> 00:12:33,480their life just not not just my mom but my dad was in that cottage so originally before the flood22700:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,000the plan was to wait for the bank account go over there sort through everything of course everything22800:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,560sped up when the flooding happened in december basically we're taking my mom up to vegas to get22900:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,920an email saying the bank accounts are now they're open the money can't be transferred everything's23000:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,520paperwork yeah yeah all the paperwork after three years just got serious the bank accounts are now23100:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,800available yeah all the paperwork had gone through been three years of mailing paperwork back and23200:12:59,800 --> 00:13:07,080forth to prove everything so um we decide okay we have about a month let's get down there so23300:13:07,080 --> 00:13:14,680it my my dad was because my parents are married for so long and because he was basically adopted23400:13:14,680 --> 00:13:24,360by my mom's parents my mom turned to him when they died and was like hey can you be like the co-person23500:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,160with the will because my mom's not necessarily good with paperwork money all that she's like23600:13:29,160 --> 00:13:35,400you're really good with finances can you be a co-executor on this with me and because of the23700:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,080relationship my dad had with her parents um he said yes which was they were all close yes or they23800:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,920were all very like very friendly or whatever yes yes so my dad didn't necessarily have the best23900:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,440relationship with his parents growing up so he definitely got taken into my mom's family and like24000:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,040i said they lived with them for many years when i was before i was born and when i was born so24100:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,800beautifully my dad and mom came together for that um still just like phone calls and emails though24200:14:01,800 --> 00:14:08,680and emails though so cut to march of 2023 we get the email saying everything's gone through24300:14:09,640 --> 00:14:18,520and it is now my mom my dad my sister and me in london going to london yes very bizarre four of24400:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,800you again the four of us have not been the perfect family bunch yes it's been about five years since24500:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,320we've all been in the same room together you people were the nuclear family yes yes yes we were24600:14:29,320 --> 00:14:37,880the poster for middle class suburban white family so yes yep heart heart of the country yep heartland24700:14:37,880 --> 00:14:46,600family so it was very bizarre but it was very very beautiful um a lot of healing happened with all of24800:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,080us we like i said we had not all been been together for more than a few hours we were now spending24900:14:53,080 --> 00:14:59,000a week there luckily we were in separate hotel rooms but we were just we were all sharing a car25000:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,960like it was close quarters it involved my parents going back into the cottage that they25100:15:05,480 --> 00:15:11,320were first married in and you know beautiful memories and we all had our own emotional25200:15:11,320 --> 00:15:17,320journey with it but it was incredibly healing um yeah so this all leads up to like a really nice25300:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,000moment right like it yeah yeah like it really needs to be like this is something that i don't25400:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,800hear about ever this is something i never i never hear about a divorced couple having any sort of25500:15:30,440 --> 00:15:37,960amicable anything unless they're forced to be in some sort of relationship for a child yes like25600:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,120taking him back and forth and some people can navigate this but like this is just the really25700:15:42,120 --> 00:15:49,240like this is different right yes and it's very beautiful because even though my parents have25800:15:49,240 --> 00:15:57,240been divorced for since i think what 2014 2015 they because they were married for 27 years they25900:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,440were also just best friends for that long and even though the love aspect the like marriage aspect26000:16:02,440 --> 00:16:08,200fell apart there's still so much love there because they grew up together they spent 27 years they got26100:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,800married at 19 and 20 you know like what was that like for you when you were going through all that26200:16:13,800 --> 00:16:21,640in london what was happening in your heart i it was definitely healing my inner child which is26300:16:21,640 --> 00:16:28,200sounds silly because they got divorced when i was 18 but i was no you're still a kid i was still and26400:16:28,200 --> 00:16:36,040i was in such a bubble of like middle class heartland family your dad was in the nsa like26500:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,000what what else could you ask for yeah my mom was stay at home mom we literally had the white it was26600:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,440the white picket fence you know so there is a lot of healing for me um just because there are so many26700:16:46,440 --> 00:16:52,920aspects where i had to grow up so fast when the divorce happened even though i was 18 like i like26800:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,480i said my parents allowed my sister and i to kind of stay in a bubble a bit just because they were26900:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,080giving us a childhood they didn't have we were allowed to be young for a while um so i think27000:17:05,080 --> 00:17:12,040there's been a part of me i'm 28 now there's been a part of me that has been just longing to be a27100:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,440kid again and this is post therapy right this is i'm not your therapies right now no no i've27200:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,080no i've had about almost two months to reflect but yeah there's just been a large part of me27300:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,840that when something difficult would happen in life or something like that i as an adult had to go27400:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,080through i immediately was like no i just want my parents to do it for me like i literally reverted27500:17:33,080 --> 00:17:39,480back to calling my parents and being like hey can you help me with this and after this trip i felt27600:17:40,840 --> 00:17:51,800just i for that week in england was able to just be the young kid again and so it was beautiful it27700:17:51,800 --> 00:17:58,280was healing it was healing for literally every single person in my family and it was a beautiful27800:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,720week together of course we all got on each other's nerves there was definitely some like27900:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,640frustration with people but overall everything is perfect and ironically it was more my sister and28000:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,560i having frustration whereas my parents really just got along for the whole week28100:18:12,600 --> 00:18:19,000um so yeah now that i'm back i i just feel very blessed to have had the opportunity with them28200:18:19,560 --> 00:18:26,520and blessed that my grandparents were the ones to like bring us all together even though it was28300:18:26,520 --> 00:18:34,360for sad reasons but i just feel like it just made made everyone happy and i i hope there wasn't any28400:18:34,360 --> 00:18:40,440drama like everyone was cool on the trip like yeah yeah it all like ended smoothly like yeah yeah we28500:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,400just my parents had their own time together in the cottage when my sister and i were doing other stuff28600:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,200like there was just everyone had their own moment individually with each person i had moments with28700:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,760my sister to talk about that's so cool things like that i want to improve with our relationship28800:18:54,760 --> 00:19:01,240like yeah it was just each facet of relationships was just yeah dealt with and it was it was very28900:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,000very beautiful yeah we're doing it next month what's so interesting is that there's a there's a29000:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,760divorce in my family um on another side and the two of them the two parents were there really yeah29100:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,600okay yeah um so just super interesting yeah no i love that i think29200:19:25,240 --> 00:19:33,560i think that if people do get divorced if they're able to be amicable and in the same room together29300:19:34,120 --> 00:19:39,400i think it's so healing for the kids yeah no matter how old they are things seem to really29400:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,000like comfortable like a lot less tense because there's been conversations about these people29500:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,960and just i was just happy that like family was just like okay yeah yeah it was just i didn't even i29600:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,920didn't know that was going to happen i didn't know i was going to see all of them i didn't know i was29700:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,000going to see everybody and i was like i thought there was like issues i thought there was like29800:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,080something i didn't know what was going on i didn't know what the dynamics were yeah it's so nice29900:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,160and people can like put that stuff aside for like a bigger i'm just seeing them in the same room30000:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,480i'm just seeing them in the same room yeah there's another experience i remember when i was younger so30100:20:16,840 --> 00:20:23,720my so grandpa fred is divorced from grandma pecky and i remember when i was younger there was a30200:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,040moment when she was like when she was at my cousin's house and he was at the cousin's house30300:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,320and and i was fully aware of their divorce i was fully aware that they used to be married30400:20:33,320 --> 00:20:41,560yeah um and i remember feeling like awkward yeah yeah i remember feeling really like i don't i'm30500:20:41,560 --> 00:20:48,360like nine i'm like eight i'm like what's going on why is grandma picky here grandpa fred's here30600:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,360yeah grandpa fred's here so is grandpa picky here they're sitting on the couch together30700:20:52,360 --> 00:20:56,600i remember like telling my dad that like dad dad dad they're sitting together yeah but they're not30800:20:56,600 --> 00:21:03,960married yeah and it's very weird how like sometimes the stress or the anxiety or the what ifs are put30900:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,040on like you in that moment and like they're probably fine sitting on the couch together31000:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,440because it was like that with us it was like i was like oh gosh i just there's so many things31100:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,040that could happen this week when we all go and then it ended up my parents are fine the whole time and31200:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,120they weren't even really stressed about it it's just my sister and i being like you're able to31300:21:22,120 --> 00:21:27,880just live you're able to just be people yeah you're able to just talk or it'll just you're like the31400:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,960the most incredible thing to me on this trip was the amount of comfort that i felt while talking31500:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,520to my family there was a few moments when i there's sometimes when i talk and i get anxious31600:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,960but the majority of the moments that i spoke to my family i was like super duper calm yeah yeah and31700:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,920it was really nice and these are the clips that i

and40400:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,520i just can't believe that i can't fathom it i can't put my head around it i can't i really can't like40500:32:04,520 --> 00:32:10,280because under just in my silly position as as a millennial just understanding the vietnam like40600:32:10,280 --> 00:32:18,920that's like the era that's sort of like the originating era of this post eisenhower warning40700:32:18,920 --> 00:32:27,160us about military industrial complex and here's my grandfather in his 20s i think yeah and he's40800:32:27,160 --> 00:32:33,800just like there and he somehow lives i don't know i i didn't ask him about like action i didn't ask40900:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,760him about yeah i don't he has no injuries so like i don't i don't know what he did but he was in41000:32:38,760 --> 00:32:45,400vietnam he was in the country and he was drafted like regardless he was fucking drafted yeah like41100:32:45,400 --> 00:32:52,760that's the freaking the goddamn government like manipulated my family to a degree to put on a41200:32:52,760 --> 00:33:00,280uniform and hold a gun and shoot this way all in the name of freedom do you know meanwhile they're41300:33:00,280 --> 00:33:09,960fucking lying to them and do you know meanwhile like it's just like disgusting do you know like what year like how far into the war he was drafted41400:33:10,520 --> 00:33:16,040no i didn't ask him okay i didn't ask him the year i was just i was curious if he was drafted that's so interesting yeah41500:33:16,840 --> 00:33:24,440um but i did ask him if he remembered the jfk assassination and that was really interesting he41600:33:24,440 --> 00:33:34,440said he was in texas wow he was in a town called brownsville texas the day jfk got shot yeah but41700:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,720brownsville is like it's on the border i think he said it's on the border of where mexico is in texas41800:33:39,720 --> 00:33:46,600okay so on the other side because that happened in houston um so just really interesting just41900:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,840where were you on earth because i was another fun fact i was with him i was with my grandpa fred42000:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,920when michael jackson died and my fucking uncle just says michael jackson because why i can't remember42100:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,120jackson like it's just oh yeah i just look at these synchronicities like people like i'm42200:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,440identifying these dots like there's some real stuff going on here isn't that so weird how you can42300:34:08,440 --> 00:34:14,280pinpoint where you were when like something like that happened it's like he ledger died42400:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,280michael jackson died like i don't remember where i was when he sledger died it's just it's just42500:34:18,280 --> 00:34:25,480interesting how it's like do you yeah i was in my choir class and there was news it was yeah i42600:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,760remember it being i remember being big news but i don't remember it being a moment where i remember42700:34:30,760 --> 00:34:36,360where where i was i remember being in choir for a few celebrity deaths i remember britney murphy42800:34:36,360 --> 00:34:43,400and i remember heath ledger but isn't it weird how like past generations i watched britney murphy42900:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,920e-documentary that's my that's my the e true hollywood stories they need to bring them back43000:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,800that's what i like watched those were incredible we need to stream those those were where are those43100:34:53,800 --> 00:34:59,320ads that on discovery i have no idea i've got discovery poop because those were intoxicating43200:34:59,320 --> 00:35:06,840is that on max yeah but isn't it weird how like past generations you can ask like where were you43300:35:06,840 --> 00:35:12,360during this event like the war breaking out or this bombing or my grandpa gave me a pretty vague43400:35:12,360 --> 00:35:20,920answer brownsville brownsville sounds pretty suspicious if you ask me mr smith yeah but isn't43500:35:20,920 --> 00:35:27,080it isn't it weird how now like our generation obviously we have like 9 11 you know we have43600:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,640some events that we can say like where were you during this event but i mean yeah we have the43700:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,720entire 21st century but more times than not the world ended more people will ask where were you43800:35:37,720 --> 00:35:42,600when the celebrity died like it's just interesting how it's like our culture yeah yeah like the43900:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,720culture shift of like where were you when this person died what about this and whereas yeah44000:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,880unless it was like a political figure i don't know if well i mean no i mean stark memory in44100:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,240the past of that is interesting because he fled your did die in oh a you know you got the whole44200:35:55,240 --> 00:36:00,280financial thing going on you got obama yeah it's like a real very interesting people aren't going44300:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,880to ask you what was going on when obama got elected well especially since we were like in44400:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,560middle school and high school it's like we aren't necessarily talking about politics you know it's44500:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,720like we're talking about celebrities we're talking about we're talking about like media44600:36:13,720 --> 00:36:18,600i was talking i was talking about politics in the eighth grade yeah 2008 i was in the fifth grade44700:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,000you're in the fifth grade my school no here's the situation my school made me vote44800:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,600my school made me vote in the fifth grade they made me do like a like a shit mock vote for44900:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,960president we went to the computer room and they told me who to vote for they told you who to45000:36:33,960 --> 00:36:40,360vote for they said here are the two choices vote or did they say click this it was columns of45100:36:40,360 --> 00:36:47,640candidates involving arizona politics and federal like just like just the president it was like45200:36:48,280 --> 00:36:54,360it was like four questions or something like that very interesting and the uh it was like a45300:36:54,360 --> 00:37:01,240sixth grader like monitoring like or like helping monitoring the voting that's so funny there's45400:37:01,240 --> 00:37:05,240there's no curtains or anything but like it was this is a tangent real quick folks we're going45500:37:05,240 --> 00:37:09,800on a quick fifth grade tangent to like show you the process of voting like what your parents are45600:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,440doing that day but that's not how you vote though no but like was that what they were trying to go45700:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,280to a computer room they were indoctrinating us to vote democrat because the sixth grader was telling45800:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,800us how uh telling me how to click on obama that's very interesting that's really what was going on45900:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,560and that's not a fake story that's not fake news that's real let's that's what i don't think that46000:37:29,560 --> 00:37:35,800walker but you arizona i don't yeah i don't think i ever voted like lorence unified school district46100:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,320number one they told me to vote democrat that's very weird they call you a conspiracy

silent generation52100:44:17,560 --> 00:44:25,240um they had a lot of trauma with it my grandpa's mom passed away during it during that my my52200:44:25,240 --> 00:44:31,560grandma her house was destroyed in the blitz like a lot of trauma they my bond yes like her house52300:44:31,560 --> 00:44:39,320was destroyed um she lived in the city he lived in the country and um my mom didn't know much52400:44:39,320 --> 00:44:46,680about the war she just knew that they had ration cards and that they didn't want people to know52500:44:46,680 --> 00:44:53,640they had ration cards because that usually meant you were jewish um it's not a bad drama gypsy52600:44:53,640 --> 00:45:03,480like they you were one that bad jokes you might you know go to the camps so um my mom didn't know52700:45:03,480 --> 00:45:10,040really anything other than he was a pilot in the air force in the the royal air force and that he52800:45:10,040 --> 00:45:17,320had injured himself he had gone down in a plane and about the house bombing for my grandma but52900:45:17,320 --> 00:45:23,400when i visited in 2017 i don't know if it's just because they were older or the dementia had kind53000:45:23,400 --> 00:45:30,120of started to hit my grandpa and he was able to just like open up about these things but he53100:45:30,120 --> 00:45:36,040talked about world war two for the first time in my life stuff my mom had never heard so he opened53200:45:36,040 --> 00:45:44,760so he opened up and like you guys heard some yeah yeah we heard my my grandma had my53300:45:46,680 --> 00:45:53,400my grandma's father had stopped church from a bomb he went to defuse a bomb um and let's53400:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,760stop church what do you mean stop church there was so my grandma jone and her brother and sister53500:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,360they all went to the church because that's where you were meant to go to when there were53600:46:02,360 --> 00:46:08,120air raids because their house wasn't there um so they all went into this church and my grandpa her53700:46:08,120 --> 00:46:15,720or my great grandpa her dad went looking for them when he saw a bomb drop on the church and so he53800:46:15,720 --> 00:46:22,680went running and he was going to basically like help put it out if it exploded he's gonna help53900:46:22,680 --> 00:46:28,600with fires luckily something damaged the bomb it never went off but he malfunctioned it malfunctioned54000:46:28,600 --> 00:46:35,400and he approached the bomb and like made sure that it didn't go off and he then went in and like got54100:46:35,400 --> 00:46:41,800everyone out just crazy stuff like that that we'd never heard and then my grandpa he um54200:46:42,760 --> 00:46:50,600oh my gosh i'm blanking on where he lived um he lived in the country and he saw um just like54300:46:50,600 --> 00:46:57,320crazy stuff like he got shot at by nazi planes when he and his dogs were just out and out hunting54400:46:57,320 --> 00:47:04,200for rabbits he got shot at um what the fuck yeah that's cool he saw an old elderly man get gunned54500:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,560downed get get gunned down when he was just riding his bike like there was no reason to do it they54600:47:09,560 --> 00:47:19,160were just flying around they shot him and he saw after um he was about 14 he saw all the men from54700:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,600dunkirk come back the ones that were that were rescued he saw the dunkirk boats come back saw54800:47:24,600 --> 00:47:30,280the dunkirk boats come back he saw i'm so i'm blanking on where he lived i will think of it54900:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,920the did he ever see the movie i i don't know he watched a lot of war movies but i'm not sure if55000:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,640he saw that one but he saw all the men lined up after that have been rescued you know like at the55100:47:41,640 --> 00:47:48,360end of the film um so just crazy stuff and he was 14 and after dunkirk is when he enlisted in the55200:47:48,360 --> 00:47:54,760raf he lied about his age i'm pretty sure because he was so young um but because of the trauma with55300:47:54,760 --> 00:48:04,600his mom dying and um we believe i haven't done my ancestry yet but um on my grandpa's mother's side55400:48:04,600 --> 00:48:11,880we are jewish so we are not sure exactly how much how many people died in the war what their55500:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,680experiences were if they were in camps anything like that but your family yes but because of his55600:48:16,680 --> 00:48:22,200trauma about his mom passing away he never talked about it and i think just as he got older as his55700:48:22,200 --> 00:48:28,120brain started to just change with dementia he became super open with it and my grandma did and55800:48:28,120 --> 00:48:33,400it's just it just reminded me of like it's so weird how people can be so55900:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,880shut down on some subjects and then once they get older something some chemistry changes in their56000:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,600brain they start talking to you about it and so i think that's so incredibly interesting and i'm56100:48:44,600 --> 00:48:50,760hopefully your your grandpa will be you know but he didn't seem like yeah he didn't seem like56200:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,760or something yeah maybe he um those were times when i've had moments of grandparents were like56300:48:54,760 --> 00:49:00,600they open up and it's like emotional yeah like he wasn't something i didn't get like he was emotional56400:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,240i didn't get the vibe that he was like breaking out yeah something was breaking out of him yeah56500:49:05,240 --> 00:49:09,800but he just felt for some time i've never heard him talk about it yeah well that that's powerful56600:49:09,800 --> 00:49:15,480that's powerful but it was never but it was there's never a been a political moment between us until56700:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,840now so yeah yeah i don't know what his yeah i don't know how comfortable he but that's cool56800:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,400that he even because he like he's a guy who goes to the va yeah yeah so like i like i don't know56900:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,240what they're talking about at the va like you know like there's a yeah i don't know who like57000:49:29,240 --> 00:49:34,760there has to be some sort of some sort of individual that he's more comfortable with maybe57100:49:34,760 --> 00:49:39,800it's just very interesting it's kind of a pattern i've noticed with people it's definitely57200:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,600it's definitely how people process trauma yeah57300:49:44,600 --> 00:49:50,680very interesting yeah very interesting um we're gonna head on into the boost57400:49:53,080 -->

what do you uh not folks shannon yes you're an individual yes thank you what do you think of67901:01:12,040 --> 01:01:16,360those boosts i love them what do you think of favor for favor and value for value and68001:01:16,920 --> 01:01:23,480i'm a big supporter of it i think it's very cool i remember favors yeah i remember when you first68101:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,800explained it to me i was kind of like i don't really understand um but now where are you at68201:01:27,800 --> 01:01:33,000like like okay you're on the clock what is value for value value is when you68301:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,560i want to say it wrong because last time i said favor for favor um but basically you68401:01:40,680 --> 01:01:47,640trade something of value for you but basically favor for favor like i produce something68501:01:47,640 --> 01:01:55,000and then someone shows me that value yes someone shows me that value yes or it could even be like68601:01:55,000 --> 01:01:59,480i through the form of money yes yes that's all it is that's all it is68701:02:01,400 --> 01:02:06,200no it's a difficult concept it's yeah it's an international lifestyle it's a layer of68801:02:06,200 --> 01:02:12,760monetizing things yeah it's a feedback loop of type of content you produce and what's going on68901:02:12,760 --> 01:02:18,440it's it's complicated i thought it's not always easy and i i would put what is it like you give69001:02:18,440 --> 01:02:24,200sats to people that listen and then they're free to give sats back to what you that was the original69101:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,760concept for for sasslinger yes that's exactly what i was about to say actually that's perfect69201:02:28,760 --> 01:02:35,080that was the like i used to viewed value for value in a way where i was like oh okay if i have an69301:02:35,080 --> 01:02:42,680opportunity to give value and values always discussed in the form of money and things like69401:02:42,680 --> 01:02:49,320fountain gives you the ability to promote and that means that i give satoshis to people i've69501:02:49,320 --> 01:02:55,880viewed that as value yeah for value yes please send me satoshis because i'm sending you satoshis69601:02:55,880 --> 01:03:03,320yeah i'm like but and so and i'm sort of just like ran that down yeah it's a favor loop it is a69701:03:03,320 --> 01:03:09,400favorite it's a favorite loop wow i like that thank you another one you need it wait69801:03:09,400 --> 01:03:18,760we love it thank you we love the soundboard value for value favor for faith um i usually talk about69901:03:18,760 --> 01:03:24,280what i've been creating the last week um but this week has been like a week of just getting ready70001:03:24,280 --> 01:03:30,280for this for this past weekend memories and i really don't have anything to say about70101:03:31,160 --> 01:03:36,520what i've been creating shena what are you creating are you painting anything yes i went to hobby70201:03:36,520 --> 01:03:43,480lobby with my mom while you were right before you left actually for the weekend and i got a um70301:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,400it's not a wreath but it's like a little door decoration and it says happy spring they put on70401:03:49,400 --> 01:03:57,480a door and it's in a circle yes yes but it's it's by like string yes um and you paint it it's just a70501:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,960wooden canvas and you paint it and it just says hello spring so you can make it your own and i've70601:04:01,960 --> 01:04:09,400been enjoying that nice what colors do you have um right now it's like teal purple and then some70701:04:09,400 --> 01:04:14,520light pinks but i'm gonna add a little yellow and orange it's beautiful yes thank you i wanted to70801:04:14,520 --> 01:04:20,280do all all spring colors i took a break drawing taking like a longer break drawing i did do some70901:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,120drawings i actually did do a drawing today let me just talk about what i drew today what do you71001:04:24,120 --> 01:04:28,360think of this drawing i was at the airport i was listening to clips figuring out what i wanted to71101:04:28,360 --> 01:04:34,440what sections i wanted and just to get my mind just like free flowing this is what i did what71201:04:34,440 --> 01:04:40,920do you think can you describe this image well that's cool um yes so you have a bunch in the71301:04:40,920 --> 01:04:49,160middle it's looks like a river and um wavy lines and there's on either side of the wavy lines you71401:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,720have are you saying like describe the actual drawing or are you asking me to interpret it71501:04:53,720 --> 01:04:59,240in turn i'm sorry yeah i shouldn't interpret okay because as i was going i was like yeah i think71601:04:59,240 --> 01:05:05,720i mean you're not boring everyone you're not an ai i know i feel like vanna white um this reminds me71701:05:05,720 --> 01:05:13,400a bit of like an airport a little um like a tarmac just with the really the dash lines there but now71801:05:13,400 --> 01:05:20,920i'm looking at it as well it looks like um two sides of a river um like on one side there's71901:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,160squares smiley faces this just kind of is like different symbols for different emotions i'm seeing72001:05:25,880 --> 01:05:32,520um but they are there's a divide between them of a river so i'm interpreting it as you trying to mesh72101:05:33,160 --> 01:05:39,320maybe creative and fiscal i don't know just trying to mesh things but right now there's a72201:05:39,320 --> 01:05:48,520river through them and you're trying to find the balance shit i love it i actually have another one72301:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,280i did another drawing i said i didn't do anything creative but i did a bunch of you're just whipping72401:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,280them out now i had i did this drawing this was a different practice for me i don't know why i had72501:05:56,280 --> 01:06:02,600this instinct in the in the san jose airport okay um first of all i had an hour flight to san jose72601:06:02,600 --> 01:06:10,600from boise and then i had a two hour layover for a one hour flight to burbank and it's just72701:06:10,600 --> 01:06:15,320absolutely atrocious the same amount of time plus 30 minutes in the airport that you did in the air72801:06:15,320 --> 01:06:20,280just absolutely ridiculous anyway this one actually has a title this this drawing so i was in the72901:06:20,280 --> 01:06:25,720airport listening to stuff and i for some reason i had this instinct to close my eyes and to draw73001:06:25,720 --> 01:06:33,960this one specific shape this is called closed eyes closed eyes scribbled thoughts scribbled not so73101:06:35,240 --> 01:06:41,960closed eyes scribbled hearts oh i really like that and your eyes were closed while you did it73201:06:41,960 --> 01:06:47,400all of these hearts there's like how many like a bunch yeah there's like 30 there's a bunch of73301:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,760hearts that i drew with my eyes closed and it somehow looks like interesting can you it looks73401:06:52,760 --> 01:07:00,680very interpret this piece that's titled um well some of them are very overlapped because you had73501:07:00,680 --> 01:07:07,800your eyes closed so there's like little um groupings of them in the corner um and some of them are like73601:07:07,800 --> 01:07:13,720more open some are more connected so i'm going to interpret this as just like the season you're in73701:07:14,600 --> 01:07:19,560and there are things your heart is more open to more close to other things and there's more73801:07:19,560 --> 01:07:24,600intensity where the groupings are so i'm going to relate that to different thoughts it's like a73901:07:24,600 --> 01:07:31,080brain scan yeah honestly though it's like there are things that you're open to close to and then74001:07:31,080 --> 01:07:37,560things you're just feeling very intensely a lot of map yeah wow maybe stop ruining my74101:07:37,560 --> 01:07:46,360heart anyway i only had two drawings that was it i only had two drawings today they're both very good74201:07:47,720 --> 01:07:52,040i think they're interesting i do i drew them in blue pen people i like that i was like this74301:07:52,040 --> 01:07:58,520blue pen is iconic people should like pay me to decipher their drawings that could be a podcast74401:07:59,640 --> 01:08:07,160they send in a drawing shannon interprets shannon interprets interpretive shannon watch it be way74501:08:07,160 --> 01:08:15,240off though it's like i'm like this person's pregnant there's no there's no getting there's74601:08:15,240 --> 01:08:21,000no there's no interpreting art wrong no but like i'm trying to like read the person's mind like74701:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,800in that oh you're trying to predict your entire life yeah it's like an eight-year-old man sends74801:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,640it in i'm like whoa this person's like very fertile they're trying to get pregnant it's like wait no74901:08:31,640 --> 01:08:37,240no you think you can read the vibe yeah it'd be like so wrong that's so funny that'd be a good75001:08:37,240 --> 01:08:43,160podcast that would be very cool actually i'd listen to that i would too that's really cool that's a75101:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,640good idea you just came up with that you just came up with that idea you literally just came75201:08:47,640 --> 01:08:52,200up with that awesome podcast idea it'd be fun it's like reading the the palm or like the tea75301:08:52,200

think i think my drawings are mayhem i75501:09:05,000 --> 01:09:10,040think everything i draw is chaos like pure chaos i love that i try to have order sometimes and then75601:09:10,040 --> 01:09:16,520i think the order is like still a mess i think the order is like out of order you're just like a fun75701:09:16,520 --> 01:09:23,720chaos though like you're not a perfectionist with it you
