This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.

I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. But, hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey guys, Bobby Bones here, Sunday Sampler. So check it out. Five podcasts on the Nashville Podcast Network. Let's go. This week on four things with Amy Brown, Amy sat with her reverse husband, her ex-husband as some would say, and they talked about co-parenting. Brave, that's what I'll say. Lunchbox also talks about his experience at a recent Colorado Rockies baseball game, and then I got to sit down with Dan and Shea.

They talk about how they almost split up. Dan talks about cutting all his hair off, which, man, it was a lot of hair, and Shea reveals how he's lost so much weight. So let's kick it off. Here is a part of the Bobbycast, it's Dan and Shea. Sometimes when I make a change in my life, it's got to be because it gets to a point that is so drastic that I can realize it. Yeah.

Where it's, oh, I'm not in a good place. I mean, when I went to on site, I wasn't in a good place. So it took me to actually hit, we'll call bottom. Sure. You know my mom would go to rehab. She would hit bottom and then she would go, would you say in you guys' relationship, because you've got to hit a bottom to actually have the desire to get out of it

or to get back in it. That's a great point. If you never hit that rock bottom, you might not realize something's wrong or that you need to make a change. And I- Is that it for you guys? I absolutely hit rock bottom. I'll, you know, speak on my side of this story and, you know, Shay can speak on his. But that date was December, you know, came around 2021.

We finished the tour in Boston. And I got offstage more, like, defeated than I had ever been. And you know how it is. It's like it's really hard to be in this position. And I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about it. But I think that's why a lot, there's a lot of mental health issues and depression in our industry. Because if you're really struggling with something, to the public, you feel, this responsibility to be a superhero. You feel this responsibility to be unbreakable. You know,

like on stage, you have to be like, this is the best night of my life. When in deep down, you could be like, I'm really hurting right now. You know, and this was before we knew to talk to each other to be open about it with our fans. You know, this is a whole new chapter in an amazing era. But that moment, I got off stage and I was like, I'm done. I don't know if I could ever do this again. And I didn't really say that to anyone. I think Abby kind of knew it. But she is so patient. so incredible, so encouraging with me to kind of work through these issues, you know, work on myself. And I came home from that. And I like literally laid on the couch, you know, I'm always going, always doing something, just like you, man, always on the move, always grinding. And that was like

the first time and a long time that I just kind of laid there for like two weeks to process everything. I was like, I might be done. I might retire, whatever. Move back to my hometown, figured out. But like I've, I'm burnout. It was like the most extreme burnout I had ever felt. And I felt like I needed to get myself right first before I made any progress with Shea in our relationship, whether we were going to keep the band together or whatever. It was like, I needed to get myself right on a personal level. I need to fall back in love with music. And after doing a lot of soul searching, I realized that previous year I'd written four songs total.

Two of them were Christmas songs. Two of them were for another band. And that is the thing that brings me the most happiness and fulfillment is creating. Being in the studio, making music. And I wasn't making any music. And I was like, maybe I start there. So I went out on this little trip for, there's a band called the band Camino, good buddies of ours, killing it right now.

They did a little writing retreat for their album out in Colorado. I was like, you know what? I'll head out there with the boys. It's no pressure, you know, like not writing for a Dan and Shade thing where we're saying, like, okay, we've had these kind of hits. We need this thing. It's like just a little bit more free form. And if I don't get a single song out there, I'll get to go skiing.

Like, it'll be fun. So I did, wrote a couple songs and I was like, this is fun. Like, there's no pressure. We're not writing for a specific, you know, Dan and Shea thing, like just making music for the sake of making music. And I came home, did the same thing with a couple other buddies. I was like just trying to do it a couple days a week. And I was like feeling so elated. I was so happy.

Once, you know, that went on for a couple months. And I just got to this amazing, amazing place. And I was like, you know what? I got to get myself right with Shea. We were about to go out on tour with Chesney, which is stadiums bucket list tour. I mean, that's like, for support slot, that's the pinnacle of it. And we had that booked. And I came to this place.

I was like, I got right with myself. I owe it to myself. I owe it to Shay and I owe it to Dan and Shay, the entity, to figure this out. Whether we end this ban and we ride off into the sunset, we should go enjoy playing in these football stadiums. Or this could be a launching off point for the next chapter. And I was like, I got to hit Shay. We got to have this conversation tonight. So I called Shay and I was like, you know, that's what I was calling you?

No, I mean, I hadn't talked to him, you know? Yeah, that's right. this was kind of a conversation I had kind of knew his kind of how he felt of like I knew his burnout I didn't know the extent of what was going on but he texted me and was like hey man you want to come over tonight and I was like okay he wants to talk about something I thought it was like this is going to be kind of it honestly it might in my heart of hearts I was like I think that this might be the end of our band and I was like yeah man when you know when do you want to do this you know and he was like, I can come over there right now.

And I was like, oh, okay, he wants to talk like right now. And then I was like, I mean, talk about full blown panic, you know, because all this stuff started coming up. And I was like, oh, no, like, I was not prepared. This was like a normal Sunday night or something. And I'm like, I'm going to, I'm going to meet with Dan. And we didn't really talk about it. And we both kind of look at each other.

Like, I think I'm going to go in my band with my best friend that I haven't been close with in several years. It was just kind of this whole understood like this, we'll deal with this one. We'll deal with the wreckage when I get back, you know. And I just remember driving over there just like sweaty palms being like, dude, this is, this is heavy, you know. And I was like, I was getting me emotional right. This is to teach you how to, this is just my knowledge. Thank you for giving me an example.

It's not a big deal. Thank you. But I was like, man, this is like the last 10 years of my life is about to end, you know, and this is about, we're about to, you know, whatever. And I get there and it was just like this, you know, what's up, dude, you know. and I remember we sat there and Dan just like starts to apologize for like the last 10 years. That prompted me to apologize for stuff. And, you know, that's the long and short of it.

We sat there until I think I got over there like maybe I don't know, 7.30 after I put the kids to bed, I went over there. We stayed up and talked to like three in the morning and just hash through all of these things. And a lot of that was like, all right, we need to really appreciate like what we've gotten to do. Whether we continue to do this band, it wasn't like we were dancing around the fact. that we both were kind of feeling like, we don't know if we're going to do this anymore. But it was like, man, let's ride off into the sunset. Either way, let's, Dan and Shay is always going to be, was something that Dan said. He was like, we're always going to be a tattoo on somebody's arm, always going to be a first

dance song. And I was like, that's great. I remember, like, because this was kind of after we had had our like really heavy talk, you know, and we had kind of gotten the tears out and all that kind of stuff. And I remember, like, watching him, like, grab his phone. type in that title. You know, and I was like, that's a great title. And it was just, it was just an incredible night, man.

It's like, you know, I feel like a lot of people are scared to say, you know, like, oh, yeah, we got together and we cried, like just a couple of friends. That's pretty lame. Like, no one would want to say that out loud. But like, it was, man. A lot of tears were shed and a lot of stuff was really figured out. And it wasn't like we figured out all of our problems, but acknowledging that it mattered enough to both of us that we would try.

And it was just after that, it was our plan of action was to, all right, let's hang out three times a week. Let's get together and let's have no agenda. So you focus on the fundamentals of the relationship more than what the relationship could do. Exactly. It was, let's make sure we do the relationship. Let's be friends again. Cast a row thing, little food for your soul. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful things.

Laugh a little more thing Tighten up in core pain Said EK You're kicking it with four things With Amy Brown Hey it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast At the end of the day

divorce is not ideal No That's not what we want for anybody I guess the point of you even being on Right now is to set up a co-parenting episode that really is dedicated to that. What I was thinking was that listeners could send in questions that they may have for us that either we can answer, but also the expert. But we can share our perspective. Like you said, we have had multiple types of therapy. We're not telling

you what to do or like that we know what's best, but we're sharing like, hey, this is what we did. It worked for us. Maybe give it a try. We have no idea if it will be what is best for you. You have got to figure that out. Because I mean, I mean, there's times we've literally had to walk away from each other, leave. I can't talk to you right now. This is too hard. It was so difficult. And there were tears. There was anger. There was frustration. But we were processing our own emotions. There's nobody that can be more inconsiderate than your ex because you know everything about that other person. Like, I know your buttons. If I was agitated and I wanted you to fill it too, like I knew how to get you to feel that. It's an unfair advantage. Like in a fight. So,

It was definitely not easy and definitely something that it's taken us a long time to get to this place. And I think for me, acceptance was the biggest thing. Once I got to acceptance, like this is where it's at. This is what today looks like. This is what our future looks like. Then I stopped, you know, being agitated or annoyed about what it has or hasn't happened, whatever the case may be, you know. And so I think that don't get divorced. But if you do, think about the kids.

But the kids first, figure out. There might be some people that don't have kids, too. Okay, they probably have dogs. When I was in divorce court, out like sitting there, the people that went before me, they were settling their affairs, and one of them had to do with the dogs, the animals. So it was a big thing.

And the judge even applauded them and said, hey, I just want to thank you. A lot of people don't take into consideration, like, where the animals are going to go? Who's going to pay for the animals? What if the animal gets sick? Do they share it 50-50? Like, happened right before my eyes.

And thought, well, the judge was all over that one. He was pretty excited about that. So, hey, man, that's something we can pass on. listen, you don't have kids and you're getting divorced, think about the animals. So you can send emails in to four things with Amy Brown at gmail.com. And in the subject line, you can put co-parenting question, something like that. Or a question for the expert, since we're going to bring one on. I've already reached out to one that has specifically already agreed to do an interview,

but we just don't have the date. And so we just want to gather the questions, get with the expert. And Ben and I get all of our thoughts and feelings and ducks in a row on it. so that way we can be a best service. Everybody's situation is different. So if anything resonates like through this, you know, what we're saying in our experience, I mean, I hope that helps somebody. You know, everybody's going to have a different story with one's not listening.

One's not willing to go to counseling. Yep. And one is, or both of them are going to counseling, but, you know, they can't agree on the counselor. Whatever the case may be, there's going to be a difference. But hopefully in some of the things that you all bring up and ask us that we'll be able to share our experience and if it all helps you, that's a goal of this. and also to maintain our amicable relationship. That's my goal too.

We also got to put that priority here, then us doing this that we maintain our amicability. You don't start throwing mics at me or anything. Amicability? That's hard to say. So you are not someone that has come on the podcast much or is public really at all for that matter. So I am thankful that you're willing to.

Well, I'm pretty public on LinkedIn. You racking up endorsements over there? Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't really. know that at all. I just know that we're trying to just as a, you know, grow the business, grow the company. And so we're definitely taking more of an outward facing look for the company. And so bottom line is I'm not in social media stuff. Well, you just turn 46. What advice you have for people, no matter what stage in life they're at or what situation they're in,

what would you say as a 46 year old? You're acting like you're approaching this like I'm some like so elderly now that I'm 46 that I now that I've gone from 45 to 46 I now have some newfound wisdom well you're now you cross the line to late 40s mid mid mid to late I'm still mid I'm early to mid I can get carried away over there how far off are you I'm not very far off okay actually was not trying to present you as elderly I was trying to present you as another year older another year wiser I love 40s I love 40s I can't wait I think 50s are going to be great TBD but I think for me I I'm really thankful that I have my health. Like I really am.

I mean, I'm very blessed on that. And I think that the older I get, the more experiences I have, the less I actually feel like I know. Whereas when I was a teenager and in my 20s, I felt like I knew everything. And now I feel like I know a lot less. I've experienced a lot more, but I know a lot less, if that makes sense. So now I'm just, I'm enjoying like being in the moment. I'm enjoying getting out there and doing new things that I haven't done in a long time. and yeah, it's exciting.

When you said be in the moment, it reminded me of sort of how we approach a lot of this is one day at a time. Everything is one day at a time. And even in the days that we have the hard days, we try to encourage each other, that everything's happening exactly. Everything is exactly the way it's supposed to be. Right. So, you know, no highs without the lows.

I think that the tools that we've gained will take with us into our elderly years. And we'll be better for it, even though we don't know much. We're now in our second half of life. We're in act two. Grandpa Brown lived till 97. I'm not even halfway through this thing. So he had four acts. He was in act four.

But I don't have a lot of people. I mean, my mom made it to act late act two, early act three. My dad was late act three. I feel like I probably got three acts in me. You're really defining this whole thing out. It's kind of morbid. What happened to live in the moment? Oh, yeah.

Let's go back to stay in the moment. One day at a time. I'm already talking about me 97 years old and act five or whatever. I don't even know what these acts are based off of. I just have always heard that. I mean, the first half of your life and then your second half, you've heard that part, right? But there's first act, second act, like in a play. Like you're the main character.

Do you know that saying? That's all the young people say, you're the main character. Oh, they do? Mm-hmm. Where do they say this? I see it on. On Instagram? Yeah, probably.

So I take it they don't post about being the main character on LinkedIn. or what? Not the people that I follow. No. Well, we can be the main characters in our own stories, which, speaking of stories, someone asked if we'd ever write a book together, and I definitely do not see that happening at all.

I got a boundary. I'm putting a boundary around that one, like right now. Yeah, same. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In 1998, my life was forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte York on a new show called Sex and the City. Now I get to sit down with some of my favorite people

and relive all of the incredible moments this show brought us on and off the screen. Like when Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. You forgot about it? I completely forgot about it. And when the show was picked up, I panicked. And Cynthia Nixon reveals if she's a Miranda.

We both feel confident about our brains. But that's... kind of where it ends. Plus, Sex and the City super fan, Megan V. Stelion, doesn't hold back on her opinions of the show. Carrie will literally go sit New York on fire and then come back and type about it at the end of the day. Like half of it wasn't her fault. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him.

I said, hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen and she says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at my mom. On the Seno Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trail to talk about addiction.

transformation and the power of second chances. The entire season two is now available to binge, featuring powerful conversations with the guests like Tiffany Addish, Johnny Knoxville, and more. I'm an alcoholic. And without this trouble, I'm going to die. Open your free I-Heart radio app. Search the Cito Show and listen now.

You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body. having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.

There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And if you think about it, each chapter would need to be like three versions. Our therapist, Tom, he always made it clear that there's your version, my version, and then the truth. The truth. Because we have different filters. Literally, we had those same conversations. We had Tom telling us like, hey, like she's seeing it this way, you're seeing it this way. This is this somewhere in between is what happened.

And what I hear you saying is. That's not correct. Oh, what I heard you say was, that's it? Yeah. What I heard you say was and then you say it and then I say. Okay, so you say something. We'll practice. That hat is way too big for your head. What I heard you say was that my hat is way too big for my head. That's correct. Is it though? That's pretty big. I like it. Is it not cute? I thought it was cute. Is it not? Amy, I'm not, you put me on the spot to say something that was not tied to anything else and

you have a massive hat right on your. Obviously, you think the hat's too big. I'm just saying the hat. It's a trucker hat. It's a very large trucker. So what I heard you say was I need to not wear this hat. No, see, because then that's you projecting. No, I just literally said was the hat, you have a big hat on.

I was giving an example of what not to do. I know. That's a, okay. So then Tom would say, no, you're correct. That's not what you. said, I said you have a big hat on, didn't say anything to do with you. So really, I would say, what I heard you say was I have on a really big hat. That's correct.

That's a perfect example of if I hadn't repeated that back and you were just stating a fact, it would be, oh my gosh, he thinks I look ridiculous in this hat and I need to never wear it again. But that's not what you said. No. But that's how we take it. The hat's the example right now where you could insert literally anything that you take the wrong way. Well, and the important point is to say, like we did the way. work and some of that stuff sounds super cheesy. Like I would never do that. Why would I sit there

two grown adults sitting there and having a conversation about the size of your hat and really clarifying that. But those are the things that I learned in a relationship are massive miscommunications that get turned and snowball into way, way more. I think part of my journey and going through this was like, dude, I'm going to do everything I can to get better in my next relationship. I'm a part of that. And so if I'm not trying to get better and become better at relationships and people and connection, then I'm going to carry that same thing into the next marriage, which I think is why it's just a symptom. So you're going to get married again. Yeah. Let's do it live. We are the one, two, three, so our losers. What up, everybody. I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports.

So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius. What up, y'all. It is Sisson. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male. I live on the west side of Nashville with Beezer, my wife. We do have a white picket fence at the apartment complex. Soon I'm going to have 2.5 kids. And yes, sadly, I will die of a heart attack when I'm 72 years old. Here's a clip from the last podcast. We went down to Coorsfield and saw my team the Toronto Blue Jays play. I'm Canadian. Because I saw the Toronto Blue Jays in Boston. And then I saw the Toronto Blue Jays in Boston. And then I saw the Toronto Blue Jays. Blue Jays in Colorado. Okay. And let me tell you. That stadium is beautiful. Bad ass. Beautiful, beautiful ballpark. I don't even know how old it is, but it looks brand new.

Ninety-93. It is 30 years old and it looks brand new. It's seven and 30 years old. 30 years old looks brand new. We buy tickets. We go to the game. How much will you take, Scalper? And I do, no, we bought them online.

Plenty, plenty of good seats still available. Did you see the purple seats at the very top, a mile above sea level? Is that what those were? Yeah. I didn't go that far up, but I saw people sitting up there. There's one line in the very top. And at that point, you're exactly one mile above sea level. That's pretty cool.

Crazy stat, Ray. Thanks for telling me prior. Yes, I would have gone up and checked it out. But no, I had the kids with me. And the only problem is... You were short of breath. No, I wouldn't short of breath. Thin air up there.

Yeah, but we hiked mountains. I was okay. Really? Yeah. You guys go on ahead. We... get to the game, but we don't know where to park. Just look for the signs that say parking.

Yes, exactly what we did, Ray. And they're like, lot A, lot B this way. All right, and we tried to buy lot B online. And it looked like it was so damn far away. But it's literally right across the street. So I'm like, hell yeah, let's go. And I will say things have changed. Dude, it used to be industrial.

You were parking in some rough lots. Oh, no, they've made some bars. I mean, it's looking real nice. And so I'm like, damn, that's right. across the street. We'll do that for $23.23 on the card. Okay, you're going to go down here and then you're going to take a right. Oh. Then you're going to go past that parking garage, take a right, and then you're going to go left and go, and I'm like, well, now we're a mile and a half from the stadium. Where's Blake Street? And I'm like, there's no way my kids

are going to walk a mile and a half to the stadium. Like, we are a freaking, I mean, it started out we were right. I could see the state, like right there. And you bought it. already. I bought it already. And I'm like, look, look, we're going to have to eat. I'm dropping you guys off here. You guys start walking. I'll go park at the end of the parking lot. I'll meet you. Bye. So I get my 5 year old out of the car and my wife's like, we're not doing that.

We're not doing that. We're going to as a family. She was like, you know what? We're just getting to eat the $23 and we're going to go find another parking spot. What the rich, rich? And I said, in this economy? Come on. Come on. And she said, well, I mean,

I don't know what else to do. this is our one little disagreement of the whole trip. I tip my cap to her. And I was like, all right, we're pulling out. And as I'm hitting the exit, I roll down to my window. Just for some reason, I look at the guy selling a little parking pass. And I said, hey, man. Hey, you got crack?

I said, you got a bite to our heroin? I look at him. I said, hey, is there a shuttle or do we have to walk this far? He goes, oh, no, there's a shuttle, man. That's what I'm talking about. And I'm like, what? Why didn't you guys say that in the beginning? You could have saved us the aggravation, the frustration, the freaking out, the thought that

we're going to eat $23 and go park somewhere else. There was no signs about a shuttle. So we go park in the back of the lot. Oh, yeah, brother. It's a mile walk. We'd never make you do that. We would never make you park that far back and not have a shuttle. And I'm like, the Colorado Rockies are amazing.

And we get in the shuttle, we get the first shuttle right after we park, get us to the gate in center field. Our tickets are third baseline up above third base. So we had to walk around the whole stadium, but it was awesome. It was beautiful. It was great. Coros Field was fantastic. Did you see the player?

It's in lights. It slides into a base. What? Center field. It's on the outside of the stadium. You can see a baseball player. It's all lights. Oh, maybe I missed that.

I may have missed that. But it was a beautiful stadium. It was a great game. The weather was fantastic. Did you see a home run? Oh, yeah. I saw a home run. Did the waterfalls go off when it was a home run?

No, the Blue Jays hit a home run. Oh. Yeah. Rockies aren't good this year. No, no. But the Rockies were down. Worst team in baseball. Five nothing.

They were down four nothing after one and they won eight seven. That's Rockies baseball. Yeah. It was a. It was a solid game on Saturday night. We went and my kid had never heard of the Rockies before that night, but he was die hard for the Rockies that night. Dang. And let me tell you, the Blue Jays fans in Boston, they took over the stadium.

They took over the stadium in. Colorado. There are Blue Jays fans everywhere, or they just travel really, really well. It's got to be the young influx. They love the Biggio guy. They love Lad, all of them. I mean, it's amazing. But how many Canadians are at these games? Alejandro Kirk Ray is very popular. He is popular. He's fat. He's a chunky dude. He had him some pork missiles. I saw him when I was in Boston. I saw him walking into the locker room, like right off the street. But I didn't get to talk to him. Did you get a pork missile? I got a Brought worst. Oh, yeah.

That's a big pork missile. The one that's the best. But Kiermeier, the one that gave me the Heisman in Boston, he hit the home run. Wow. Yeah. Full circle. And it was Charlie Blackman, uh, Bobblehead Night. Dude was on.

He did everything. Hit, steel, base hit, RBI. I mean, he was awesome. He looks like he lived in the woods that you guys were staying with the painted rock with shit. His beard goes down to his knees. It's awesome. And he doesn't smile. He doesn't take pictures.

He doesn't autograph. We saw him in spring training. You don't get nothing from Charlie. All you get is a beard and a back turned. Charlie! All right, Charlie, see you next time. Charlie! Nope.

Right to the bag. It's spring training, Charlie. Yeah. Thanks, Charlie. Throw us a ball. Cool. Charlie! Oh, my nephew then, he'll steal some when your catcher goes to throw it to his own family.

My nephew will steal some. That's how we'll get one. I will say. Thank you, Charlie. The one thing about the net being there now, tougher to get balls? No, it's easier to get balls. You don't have to be in the front row.

Usually they used to just toss it to the front row. Good point. Now they throw it over the net and they throw it deeper into the stands. We didn't get a ball, but they were throwing them to all different sections because as they're coming in out of the field, they just throw it over the net and they're not scared about throwing it deep. It used to be just toss it to the kid in the front row, toss it to the hottie with the big boobs in the front row. Now it's just chunk it up and it's awesome. Do you like the scoreboard, the old school scoreboard and write how they man?

manually change the scores? Great. Did the kids like it? I didn't notice, Ray. My three-year-old was interested for about two innings. Hi, friends. It's Caroline Hobby. I am so excited.

This week I have Caitlin Carhart on my podcast, Get Real with Caroline Hobby. She is a best-selling author, musician, and numerology astrology specialist. And her expertise is an all-thing spiritual, which is my favorite conversation to have. And we had a very free-flowing conversation where we cover lots. of stuff like understanding the importance of doing what you love just because you love it, not being defined by your highest highs or your lowest lows, personal experiences about healing, what you can learn from understanding numerology like your year cycle. You do not want to miss this episode. So tune in now with me, Caroline Hobby and Caitlin Carhart on Get Real with Caroline

hobby. I would rather have a positive mindset so I can like sleep at night. You know what I mean? And that doesn't mean you don't have awful days. Oh no. Right. Well, we talked about the awful days that we've been having and that it's up and down. I told you like even like yesterday was such a happy day. Then this morning I was like, damn, there's some stuff happening. And now I'm sitting with you and I feel great. And again, it's just that not internalizing the emotions, just allowing and then it passed through you and just being like, oh, this is life now. And accepting that has been, like, key to me actually feeling, like,

stable and happy, actually, when I think about it. Yes. I don't let things get me so down or, like, too. Like, nothing is going to change your life for the good forever. And nothing's going to change your life for the bad forever. It's like when they're good, they're good. When they're bad, they're bad. My grandmother always says this.

Enjoy life's pleasures when you have them. And when you don't, don't mourn. And I just, like, totally get that now. And it's like, literally when things, are great. Soak it up. Don't start thinking about how the bottom's going to fall out. Don't start planning for the negative thing to the negative thing to the negative thing is going to come. It's good. You're going to have something. Don't worry. It's coming. It's coming. So let yourself enjoy the high. Let yourself enjoy the moment. And then when you're in the low, just be like, oh, God, I'm back

again. But like, okay, I'm here to learn and grow. I guess I'm going to level up because you always level up after you hit the bottom. That's true. You're either going to die or you're going to level up. Yeah. That's alchemy. And that's alchemy. And so. I guess it's a blessing when you go through something because now that I look back on these past three years that I'm coming out of that we're so unbelievably hard. Yeah. And now that I'm like here with this mindset and this life and now I have all this wealth of knowledge that I just gained and lived through and grew from. I'm like, man, I feel very proud of myself to be where I am. I'm very proud of what I've come through. I'm very proud of like the mind. It's that self-love. I love myself. I can't

I believe I got through this. I love myself so much because I know I got myself and I'm like my own best friend. Like I'm so much more comfortable in my own skin and just like even like sitting by myself, like being alone with myself. Like I don't feel FOMO at all anymore. Like I'll stay in and like not go out for like weeks. I'm like, this is great. Just sit in my apartment reading books.

And I'm like, I just enjoy my own company, you know? And I now believe that I'm worth it where I did not before. And so now I'm like I know I'm worth it. I know I'm using my life to best. better myself and as many people as I can affect, I want to be a positive influence. So it's like, I just have to trust that God's going to bring the experiences into my life that I need. And if I'm in a line with myself and if I'm doing the work every day and if I'm really listening

to myself and learning how to surrender, then I don't have to have phomo or I don't have to have anything because I'm like, God's just going to make it clear what I need to do. Yeah. The good and the bad. We just have to surrender and get quiet and allow and listen. And accept. Yeah, exactly. It's a lot.

You got to do a lot of things. Really, got to do nothing. but it's a lot of things. Yeah. You got to like quiet your mind, quiet the noise of the world, quiet all your past traumas and all your like rewiring. Really you just got to clear your brain. Let go and like God.

Basically God's asking us just to be a blank canvas every day. Yeah. Don't hold on to all your past stuff that you've lived through and repeat the cycle every single day. But life's more fun that way. To be a blank canvas? Just to like. Because then you have magic.

That's what I'm saying. Like someone I, a spiritual teacher I work with sometimes, she told me she's like the neutral point. is when miracles happen. Because you don't have any expectations or need for it to go a certain way. Yeah. When you're just existing in the present moment and just allowing and just like trying not to

judge, it's like anything can happen. Like I didn't like yesterday like I went to my first music session and I was worried. I was like I haven't written in so long. I haven't like saying professionally in so long. What if like I'm out of practice? What if it's not there anymore? What if I'm not good enough? Right?

And I'm just and then I got there. Well at this point I'm just like, fuck it. after everything I've been through. What, what's the, it's a bad session. Please, I survived heartbreak. I survived sickness. I'm whatever. But I went and it was just like the best time ever.

And like I, but I didn't have expectations. I had a little bit of worry and fear come up. But I was like, whatever. Like I can manage that, you know? And again, it's just being in that like neutral point, I think, of just like, whatever's going to happen is going to happen. And when you're in the shitstorm, this two shall pass. When you're on top of the mountain, this.

two shall pass. Yeah. It all will pass. The good will pass. The bad will pass. So just stay neutral through it all. That's what I'm saying. You don't want to be like a plastic bag in the wind.

You might as well say fuck it and just like, cool, whatever. I'm going with it. Yeah. Yeah. Just let it just and I think that that's why doing the work is so important. So then you can be neutral, but you can be like in a very clear aligned neutral spot. Not a totally debris filled clogged neutral. You know, where you're in a car that's a old.

breakdown car that's barely going to work. It's in neutral. You don't know if it's going to turn on or if it's going to explode in your face. You know, you want to have like your oil change and everything ready and the car is filled with gas and it's like you're set. Yeah, yeah. So then wherever you need to go, that's good analogy. I just made that one up. I like car analogy. I'm not always good at an analogy. That was pretty good. You got to have, take care of your car. So then you're ready to go where God send you and you're fully equipped to handle. Take care of your. And I think that's why it comes back to like take care of your self, mind, body, soul, spirit, you know. So then you're ready to go where you need to go and you are equipped to handle it.

And you got to armor up with God. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In 1998, my life was forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte York on a new show called Sex and the City. Now I get to sit down with some of my favorite people and relive all of the incredible moments this show brought us on and off the screen. Like when Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. You forgot about it?

I completely forgot about it. And when the show was picked up, I panicked. And Cynthia Nixon reveals if she's a Miranda. We both feel confident about our brains. But that's kind of where it ends. Plus, Sex and the City super fan, Megan V. Stelion, doesn't hold back on her opinions of the show. Carrie will literally go sit New York on fire and then come back and type about it. at the end of the day.

Like half of it wasn't her fault. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I said, hi, Dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict.

Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk. Yeah, mom. Yeah.

Hey, it's Mike D, and this is a clip for my podcast, Movie Mike's Movie Podcasts. If you love movies, spoiler-free movie reviews and movie exploration topics, be sure to check it out and subscribe. On this episode, we talked about our best and worst movies of the summer. My wife, Kelsey, hopped down with me

because she goes to every single movie with me. We let you know what was the best thing we saw in theaters and also what was the worst thing. But in this segment, we just focus on the positive. But if you want to hear this entire episode, search it out, Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. and now enjoy. And we're going to talk about our best and worst movies of the summer.

The summer blockbuster season officially kicks off the first weekend of May and just wrapped up this past weekend on Labor Day weekend. So overall, I thought it was a really solid summer blockbuster season, the best since the pandemic, which isn't the hardest thing to do because 21 really didn't count. 2022 still felt like it was kind of like not fully enforced. but this summer was so stacked to the point that some movies suffered because just massive movies were coming out and didn't get the attention they deserved. But it was really hard for me to pick a favorite movie of the summer. Was it for you?

Yes and no. I had a lot of movies that I really liked. But my favorite was one that just like really hit. And I think that's what we're going to say here. Our favorite, the one we enjoyed the most and for our own specific reasons. But you'll kick it off. What was your favorite movie of the summer? My favorite was a little foreign film called Past Lives.

Which was a movie I didn't expect to love as much as I did because it's so simple, but it's so well done. It was so good. So, so, so, so good. I think we also only saw it because our AC was out that weekend. Yeah. We may have seen it otherwise, but it was one of those where we were like looking for something to see every day that weekend.

And we'd seen everything at Regal and we looked at, again, our other favorite place, the bellcourt. And I was like, oh, this is showing. I've heard good things about it. So we went to see it. And I left and I was like, wow, I loved that so much. And it has such a simple message in the overall storytelling in that movie is just no bells and whistles. Just a straight ahead story about these two people who stay connected throughout their entire lives,

how they drift away and come back and how they stay connected. So overall, it's just a true, genuine story and just filmmaking at its finest in a movie that if you haven't seen yet, I really can't recommend it enough. I would also like to say Barbie would have been an obvious choice. I loved Barbie so much, but I just kind of felt like that was too obvious. Too obvious for you, which is ironic because Barbie is actually my favorite of the summer. And I think it's because I knew it was going to be good going into it. When that trailer first dropped and I knew Greta Gerwig was behind it and I saw that first look at her vision,

I knew that movie was going to be something special, but it was a rare case that it even exceeded my expectations. And when I go to watch a movie in the summer, I want to see something that's such a spectacle. and draws me in from everything from the music to the costume design to the story and a movie that I watch and I forget about every other aspect of life and I just live in that world. And Barbie was the only movie this summer to do that for me. And I think it's because of the message of that movie. It's because of the cast of that movie, the director, Greta Gerwig in that movie. Like all those things coming together into one visual masterpiece I felt made it my

favorite. I love that you loved it because I feel like now you understand the plight of being a woman so much more. I really do. I think it was all because of America Ferreira's monologue in that movie. Like one of the best monologues, 10, 15 years, like you don't really get any monologues anymore, but that one was unusually good. I want that monologue tattooed on me, the whole thing. The entire thing. The whole thing on my back. That would take a long time. But yes, everything about that movie I loved. And it was hard for me to pick because when you look at this blockbuster season, I think we've seen over 30 movies this summer, which is a lot of movies. Yeah, we haven't gone on like our normal date night because all we do on the weekends. Yeah, we've been doing two a weekend.

But the crazy thing is in those 30 movies, I actually handed out three fives, which I never do. I usually give out one five out a five a year, if that. I think the entire time I've been doing this podcast since 2019. I've probably given out five, five out of fives. And in just this year alone, in the summer season, I've given out my three fives of the year, which have been Barbie Oppenheimer and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, which to me have been perfect films this year. And I think, I know it's still September, but I feel like 2023 is going to go down in history. It's one of the best years in film of all time. The best since 2019, but I still say overall my favorite is 2007,

2019 probably being number two. But after this year, with still things that are supposed to come out, which, you know, with the strike going on, I think they'll still come out this year. But if that wasn't affecting it, 2020-23 would easily make it as the best year in so long.

So we'll see how the rest of the year plays out. But honestly, everybody, writers, actors need to get paid. So if we end up not getting some of those movies, I'm fine with it. I want to recognize that. I haven't really spoken on the strike that much because really I don't know all the details about it. But I know there is money to pay these people a living wage and to get health insurance and to get all the things they are asking for.

And if you are not on the side of the actors and the writers, I think you're going to be on the wrong side of history. So as a movie fan, it's hard for me because I want all these movies to come out. But as a writer. But as a writer, I'm like, yes, they are the ones. making these dreams and making these stories and making these characters that people fall in love with, making, you know, on the Disney side of it, the reason people go to the park. It's all because of the writers, directors, and actors. Without them, you have nothing.

You can't computer generate that. You can't computer generate ideas that are going to live forever. So, yes, they need to get paid. And if we need to, as movie fans, miss out on some things this year, I'm totally fine with that. I'll start reviewing movies from the 80s and 70s if I, I have to. If that's not reason enough to pay him, please get this man new movies. So yes.

But if all the movies that are slated to come out the rest of this year, I think 2023 is going to be one of the best, just looking at this summer alone. That was this week's Sunday sampler.
