WEBVTT
00:00:14.611 --> 00:00:20.596
Hi everyone, welcome back to Brother, sister, whatever where real talk meets zero chill.
00:00:20.596 --> 00:00:21.417
I'm Lisa.
00:00:21.856 --> 00:00:22.338
I'm Josh.
00:00:23.481 --> 00:00:26.388
Today we're doing a really special episode.
00:00:26.388 --> 00:00:36.252
We are actually going to re-watch one of our most watched episodes on the lies that we tell ourselves.
00:00:36.252 --> 00:00:38.115
Are you ready?
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:39.040
I'm ready.
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:42.366
By the way, just saying I'm not a grandpa.
00:00:42.366 --> 00:00:47.402
So if you're reading my cup right now, I just want you to know I'm not that old yet.
00:00:47.402 --> 00:00:51.067
This is just a cup I happen to have grabbed.
00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:53.832
Okay.
00:00:54.853 --> 00:00:56.780
So we're going to start with the weekly.
00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:57.823
What if Sounds good?
00:00:57.823 --> 00:01:08.424
What if every lie you ever told, big or small, suddenly appeared in a pop-up bubble over your head anytime someone looked at you?
00:01:12.182 --> 00:01:13.888
That'd be kind of embarrassing actually.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.727
Well, you're telling me.
00:01:17.102 --> 00:01:26.174
It'd be kind of embarrassing Not as embarrassing as if any thought, like any random thought, that you had came up as a bubble above your head.
00:01:26.174 --> 00:01:27.986
That would be the ultimate, oh yeah.
00:01:27.986 --> 00:01:30.006
But lies.
00:01:30.006 --> 00:01:31.710
I could see how that could maybe be embarrassing.
00:01:31.710 --> 00:01:34.445
It'd be like you'd be caught in the act.
00:01:34.445 --> 00:01:35.007
You know what I mean.
00:01:37.542 --> 00:01:42.811
Well, I think if everyone had that, then there'd be a lot less lying.
00:01:43.112 --> 00:01:43.793
Well, that's true.
00:01:43.793 --> 00:01:46.528
I was just going to say I wouldn't do it as much, that's for sure.
00:01:47.421 --> 00:01:52.653
I think I would be in big trouble, but mainly for, like sugarcoating.
00:01:52.653 --> 00:02:02.165
You know, like where I sugarcoat something I'm like, yeah, yeah, it looks fine, you know, or something like that.
00:02:02.165 --> 00:02:04.528
So I think, you know, I think I'd be.
00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:11.225
I think I'd be more the most trouble I would get in.
00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:12.109
I think would be the kids.
00:02:12.109 --> 00:02:13.774
At least one of them doesn't know how to read yet.
00:02:13.774 --> 00:02:24.133
So you know, like Jet, he, um, he would, he last year he would go to school with the Luffy straw hat on every day, oh and, and you know, know, it was the cutest thing ever, right?
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:28.419
But I mean you know it's a straw hat, right?
00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:37.891
I mean I don't know, right, but like everyone loves them at that school, like it's like the kids, because you know every parent, right, I mean at least I do I'm thinking like, oh, my god, are they?
00:02:37.891 --> 00:02:47.675
If I know, if, back in the day, if I wore that to school, oh I, I would be dead meat, like dead meat Bullying yeah, you know.
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.169
I don't think that's, and it's not even to say that Jet doesn't look good in it or anything like that.
00:02:52.169 --> 00:02:52.983
You know, it's just.
00:02:52.983 --> 00:02:54.896
You know, you know how it is right yeah.
00:02:54.896 --> 00:03:03.253
So but yeah, I mean that would be a sucky pop-up in that scenario where he's like Dad, I look good.
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.462
I'm like, yeah, but in the back of my mind.
00:03:07.483 --> 00:03:09.669
I'm like, oh my gosh, take this off please.
00:03:09.669 --> 00:03:10.852
I don't want you to get bullied.
00:03:10.852 --> 00:03:16.741
That's a good weekly.
00:03:16.741 --> 00:03:17.282
What if it?
00:03:17.442 --> 00:03:18.122
is it is.
00:03:18.122 --> 00:03:25.993
I randomly picked out some timestamps from our original episode to kind of go over and discuss.
00:03:26.473 --> 00:03:27.675
Oh boy, okay, okay.
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.925
So what are some of the lies that we tell ourselves?
00:03:30.925 --> 00:03:34.073
Common things that people lie to themselves about.
00:03:34.073 --> 00:03:38.022
I'll be happy when how many?
00:03:38.022 --> 00:03:39.508
Times have you said that to yourself?
00:03:39.587 --> 00:03:39.808
right.
00:03:40.723 --> 00:03:41.788
I have time to do that later.
00:03:42.671 --> 00:03:44.239
Classic.
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:45.022
I'm fine.
00:03:45.605 --> 00:03:47.717
Oh, yeah, right, yeah I can change later, I'm fine.
00:03:47.858 --> 00:03:50.824
Oh, yeah, right, I can change them.
00:03:50.824 --> 00:03:51.885
I'm not good enough.
00:03:51.885 --> 00:03:57.300
I don't care what people think, it's too late for me.
00:03:57.300 --> 00:03:59.026
That was something we were talking about last episode.
00:03:59.268 --> 00:03:59.548
Yeah.
00:03:59.568 --> 00:04:04.286
I'm over it, I don't need help, I can do it by myself.
00:04:04.286 --> 00:04:08.262
Money doesn't matter, I'm not like other people, All of these things.
00:04:08.262 --> 00:04:15.942
So it's interesting hearing, hearing all of those, all of those lies that we tell ourselves.
00:04:15.942 --> 00:04:16.502
You know.
00:04:16.502 --> 00:04:18.487
Again, it's interesting.
00:04:18.487 --> 00:04:26.132
I'm wondering which one of them like which are you most likely to still say out loud?
00:04:27.581 --> 00:04:28.305
Well, you go first.
00:04:30.701 --> 00:04:31.363
Oh, can I?
00:04:31.363 --> 00:04:38.531
Okay, yeah, I still like, I still think, you know like I have time for that later.
00:04:38.531 --> 00:04:47.627
You always you know, like the putting things aside and like I can do that later, and it's not even so much the daily tasks, josh.
00:04:47.627 --> 00:04:49.069
I don't think that was.
00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:53.764
I don't think I mean that so much like oh, I'll do the dishes later, kind of thing.
00:04:53.764 --> 00:04:58.533
It's more of the of like the things that make you.
00:04:58.533 --> 00:05:00.906
You putting those things aside, you know what I mean.
00:05:00.947 --> 00:05:15.725
Like oh like I don't have, like you know what I mean like, oh, like I don't have, like you know, like being becoming a workaholic and and not giving yourself time to relax and and you know just that kind of, that kind of a, a vibe that lie.
00:05:15.725 --> 00:05:21.779
I think, yeah, I'll have time to go and take that class when the kids are older.
00:05:21.779 --> 00:05:25.447
And then the kids get older and they still don't take the fun class.
00:05:25.447 --> 00:05:26.110
You know.
00:05:26.310 --> 00:05:27.593
Yeah, that kind of thing yeah.
00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:30.406
So yeah, I think that's one that still sticks with me.
00:05:30.406 --> 00:05:32.552
A bit Haunts me maybe.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.086
That's a tough question.
00:05:36.086 --> 00:05:49.920
Yeah, I think one that is always kind of you know, is just like the self-confidence, like mantras or whatever.
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.512
You know, like, uh, um, I believe in myself, or you know those types of things.
00:05:55.512 --> 00:06:16.466
I think, um, I think you know there's this like yin and yang, where where you have moments where you're like I can do this, and in your head you're like I fucking can't do this, or you know, like you kind of have to like almost overhaul your brain, right, Okay, so the next timestamp?
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.461
Do we care, josh?
00:06:18.461 --> 00:06:19.521
Do we care?
00:06:19.521 --> 00:06:20.242
Let's see.
00:06:21.221 --> 00:06:21.682
Where we'll be.
00:06:21.682 --> 00:06:31.766
Like you know, we don't care about this, you know, and we technically do, but because it's our kid, we don't.
00:06:31.766 --> 00:06:46.392
You know, Fallon will wear something and I'll be like Fallon, like come on, we're not going to wear that to school, but in the same, you know, I'm saying you know, you be you, you be unique, you, you be different.
00:06:46.392 --> 00:06:47.976
Who cares what other people think?
00:06:47.976 --> 00:06:50.250
But at the same time, like you can't wear that.
00:06:50.250 --> 00:07:03.749
I'm not comfortable going out with unicorn pants or whatever, even though I say it doesn't matter what other people think self-preservation you know, I don't know how many times I don't give a shit what they fucking think.
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:07.733
But really you do To a degree.
00:07:08.014 --> 00:07:09.355
Yeah, you know to a degree.
00:07:09.355 --> 00:07:11.437
Yeah, because that's why you're so mad.
00:07:11.437 --> 00:07:13.880
You're so mad because you give a shit.
00:07:17.108 --> 00:07:17.829
Yeah, you mentioned.
00:07:17.829 --> 00:07:21.754
We say that we don't care, but really deep down we do.
00:07:21.774 --> 00:07:22.295
Mm-hmm.
00:07:23.336 --> 00:07:25.478
Have you managed to evade that?
00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:26.220
I have.
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.709
You have From our talk.
00:07:30.728 --> 00:07:45.437
Okay, yeah, I find I am actively working on some of those things, Really For sure Subconsciously, as we're having the talks like there's little bits right that just kind of stay with you.
00:07:45.456 --> 00:07:46.418
Stay with you Exactly.
00:07:46.418 --> 00:07:48.007
I feel the same way, josh.
00:07:48.108 --> 00:08:13.600
Yeah, sometimes, yeah and uh, and then you know, like at some point I'm kind of like saying like blah, blah, blah, like I don't give a shit, you know and and and, like I'm, I'm peaceful about it, like, wow, I really don't care you know, like, like I I've I've managed to this time you know kind of beat that down so to speak.
00:08:14.966 --> 00:08:34.048
I think, you know, as we're healing, like we've said many times in the podcast, like we're both healing, we're both, you know, doing work, inner child work, all this crap, right, yeah, all this crap right, yeah, I think it's.
00:08:34.048 --> 00:08:35.812
I think it's bringing out things that our younger selves like wouldn't even fathom.
00:08:35.812 --> 00:08:37.518
Yeah, you know, we're just so intelligent now.
00:08:37.778 --> 00:08:40.566
Yeah, we're just so wise.
00:08:40.927 --> 00:08:44.052
We're so wise now Well what are you, the monk?
00:08:44.111 --> 00:08:46.095
What is it the Tao disciple?
00:08:46.296 --> 00:08:49.360
Yeah, the Tao disciple, the Tao disciple.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.211
What about you, lisa?
00:08:52.211 --> 00:08:53.791
Do you have anything to say about this?
00:08:53.791 --> 00:08:58.951
Do you still give a shit?
00:08:59.585 --> 00:09:01.653
I think, yes, I do.
00:09:01.653 --> 00:09:07.618
I think I have not reached the mecca of not giving a shit.
00:09:08.265 --> 00:09:13.376
So like your kid has like sauce on their face and someone sees their face and they do the ugh.
00:09:14.745 --> 00:09:19.697
No, that kind of stuff doesn't bother me as much anymore.
00:09:19.697 --> 00:09:24.274
I don't sweat that kind of stuff.
00:09:24.274 --> 00:09:36.389
I don't sweat that kind of stuff, but when it's like other scenarios, I do tend to take things very, very personally, unfortunately.
00:09:36.389 --> 00:09:37.072
So I'm still.
00:09:37.072 --> 00:09:39.095
That's definitely something I'm working on, though.
00:09:39.095 --> 00:09:41.519
All right, let's check out the next timestamp, josh.
00:09:43.365 --> 00:09:59.302
All right, I was maybe through my relationships, programmed a little bit to really care about certain things, you know, especially like materialistic and like looking a certain way.
00:09:59.302 --> 00:10:10.419
And you know, and I've definitely gotten, you know, quite a few pieces of humble pie as well that I had to be dished.
00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:28.158
But I feel like I've kind of grown to the point where now, like I truly can confidently say like I really don't give a shit, you know, like I don't care if I have a Porsche or if I have a fucking Corolla, you know what I mean Like.
00:10:28.158 --> 00:10:35.235
So that for me has definitely shifted in in me hitting my like getting into my forties now.
00:10:35.235 --> 00:10:40.475
But you know, it's not, it's not about just I have to have these things.
00:10:41.076 --> 00:10:44.028
You know these things have to be like the look of it yeah.
00:10:44.028 --> 00:10:52.976
Yeah, you know, now it's more inside and more like yeah, it makes you feel yeah, you know yeah, oh yeah, oh, I get it, I get it.
00:10:52.976 --> 00:10:56.985
Let's look at some of the reasons why we actually tell ourselves these things.
00:10:56.985 --> 00:11:16.474
Would it be like a fear of failure that may be in your eyes if you weren't eating the great steak at gibby's or driving the good car that it looked like you weren't?
00:11:16.995 --> 00:11:21.304
successful yeah for sure no, but you know what we were just like?
00:11:21.304 --> 00:11:35.448
We were just talking about that josh, with age you and and more experience, right, you kind of like tend to give less fucks, right?
00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:35.971
Yeah.
00:11:36.994 --> 00:11:37.554
Do you think?
00:11:37.554 --> 00:11:39.913
Like what?
00:11:39.913 --> 00:11:45.293
If there's any external validation that you chase, what is it?
00:11:45.293 --> 00:11:48.369
Do you have anything?
00:11:48.369 --> 00:11:50.865
I'm sure there's at least one thing you do.
00:11:50.865 --> 00:12:01.645
You just you in the in the original episode in the timestamp we just watched, you mentioned you know that you didn't care about the kind of things that you cared about before.
00:12:01.645 --> 00:12:03.571
You know the kind of car that you drive.
00:12:03.571 --> 00:12:11.057
I believe we didn't see it in this clip, but I believe in that episode we were talking also talking about, like you know, the, the food, the restaurants and stuff.
00:12:11.164 --> 00:12:14.552
Right, oh, I love the restaurants right, Gibby's and all of that.
00:12:14.972 --> 00:12:22.861
So, and that made you feel successful having those things, I guess, in a way Right and so now you don't.
00:12:22.861 --> 00:12:27.937
But is there something that still resonates or that still kind of lingers?
00:12:29.347 --> 00:12:31.855
Yeah, I mean, and it's a positive thing.
00:12:32.096 --> 00:12:32.375
Okay.
00:12:32.625 --> 00:12:32.885
Like.
00:12:32.885 --> 00:12:39.219
I think the external validation that I look for now is that I define success with time.
00:12:40.424 --> 00:12:41.326
So the more time.
00:12:41.326 --> 00:12:44.914
I have with the kids you know, the more time I have with the kids.
00:12:44.934 --> 00:12:50.566
You know, the more time I have with the kids, and especially nowadays, the more time I have for myself.
00:12:50.566 --> 00:13:04.139
I find that the more I feel successful all right, next time stamp have you ever been in a situation where you had even just a simple argument with your better half?
00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:11.270
And it's a little too personal and obviously the kid says what's wrong and you make a white lie.
00:13:11.270 --> 00:13:15.535
I mean, we're not going to trauma, dump our kids right?
00:13:15.556 --> 00:13:18.467
No, no, I just tell them it's none of your business.
00:13:19.107 --> 00:13:19.788
Oh, do you really?
00:13:19.788 --> 00:13:21.991
Yeah, oh, wow, that's good so that's between me and Daddy.
00:13:21.991 --> 00:13:27.220
We're good though, Don't worry there's a, there's a boundary right there.
00:13:27.961 --> 00:13:34.260
That's a good boundary, my gosh well, I just think I I come from a place where I'm not.
00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:36.831
You don't need to know everything about everything.
00:13:36.831 --> 00:13:37.816
Do you know what I mean?
00:13:38.157 --> 00:13:39.682
I guess it's just because me I don't.
00:13:39.682 --> 00:13:40.727
Yeah, it's weird.
00:13:40.727 --> 00:13:46.760
I I guess I just look at it differently like they are my business and and and I'm their business.
00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:51.687
I, I don't know, I would feel like that's a white lie.
00:13:51.687 --> 00:13:57.965
In a weird way, I would feel like me saying none of your business is the white lie.
00:13:57.965 --> 00:14:00.861
Really, yeah, I don't know why I think like that.
00:14:01.215 --> 00:14:06.278
So what did you think about my little none of your business tactic, and have you actually started using it?
00:14:06.278 --> 00:14:06.458
No, no.
00:14:06.458 --> 00:14:11.802
Well, what did you think about my little none of your business tactic, and have you actually started using it?
00:14:12.984 --> 00:14:13.183
No.
00:14:13.565 --> 00:14:15.625
No, do you still feel the same way?
00:14:15.966 --> 00:14:19.889
I guess theoretically, without realizing it, I do use it.
00:14:19.889 --> 00:14:28.976
It's just, I don't say none of your business, I say like nothing, it's nothing kind of thing.
00:14:28.976 --> 00:14:38.533
Now that I think about it, right, um, I'm just, I'm, I'm just deciphering why again in my brain, because, you know, sometimes the thoughts are different, right, when we hear it.
00:14:38.533 --> 00:14:55.075
Again, I'm just trying to decipher why I think it's a white family, it's, it's different than if it's in the context of someone outside.
00:14:56.456 --> 00:15:05.759
Um, I love the, the value of them understanding, like, dude, this is none of your business, but I don't know.
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:14.750
I I also feel like I don't want them to think that they can't like ask, I guess.
00:15:15.095 --> 00:15:19.183
Oh, but there's a difference between asking and like.
00:15:19.183 --> 00:15:24.245
They can ask anything, they can emote anything, right, they're allowed that.
00:15:24.245 --> 00:15:32.400
But you're also allowed to say it's none of your business and again, how you do it is how you do it, I actually really don't care.
00:15:32.400 --> 00:15:37.647
I mean me saying, I guess at the end of the day, we're probably saying the same thing once again.
00:15:37.647 --> 00:15:40.682
Like me saying it's nothing.
00:15:40.802 --> 00:15:41.484
is me saying?
00:15:41.484 --> 00:15:42.547
It's none of your business?
00:15:42.547 --> 00:15:43.635
Yeah, just it's.
00:15:43.635 --> 00:15:46.562
I guess my version of saying it yeah, so to speak.
00:15:46.562 --> 00:15:50.571
Yeah, you know yeah, so to speak, yeah, you know yeah.
00:15:52.297 --> 00:15:54.360
So to piggyback off of kids and parenting?
00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:02.984
Do you think honesty should always win in parenting, or do you think there's a time to lie?
00:16:04.037 --> 00:16:06.432
I mean, look, I think there's a time to lie.
00:16:06.432 --> 00:16:09.000
Sure, you know, I think most of it.
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.946
I'm just that's just how I'm built.
00:16:10.946 --> 00:16:15.095
You know, I think you are too, but like it's just how I'm built.
00:16:15.095 --> 00:16:21.100
You know, like I can't, I can't do these extravagant lies.
00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:42.421
You know, even just me buying someone for, even though it's not necessarily the same thing, but like me, buying something for someone and trying to keep it a surprise is impossible, you know, I mean don't get me wrong, I'm great at poker and and if I need to be like in that dynamic, no problem, I'll lie my teeth off.
00:16:42.421 --> 00:16:48.679
But in, in the sense of the people I care about, I think, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:49.943 --> 00:16:50.546
In the sense of the people.
00:16:50.566 --> 00:16:50.927
I care about?
00:16:50.927 --> 00:16:51.509
I think yeah.
00:16:54.296 --> 00:16:55.576
Yeah, I think honesty wins.
00:16:55.576 --> 00:16:57.378
One last time stamp Josh.
00:16:57.618 --> 00:16:57.837
All right.
00:16:58.077 --> 00:16:58.778
All right, you ready.
00:16:59.099 --> 00:16:59.499
I'm ready.
00:16:59.499 --> 00:17:07.762
You know, you see these fucking, you know therapists on their little Instagram reels and they're like you are enough.
00:17:08.423 --> 00:17:09.023
I love those.
00:17:09.544 --> 00:17:11.365
But you know, and they're like, you are enough.
00:17:11.684 --> 00:17:12.045
I love those.
00:17:12.045 --> 00:17:15.626
But you know, and it's like, yeah, it's like my drug of choice, say more.
00:17:16.407 --> 00:17:25.172
You know, and don't get me wrong, like I get it, they're just trying to help and they're just trying to say, like you know, but like I almost like eye roll.
00:17:25.172 --> 00:17:26.752
But why do I eye roll?
00:17:26.752 --> 00:17:56.896
And you know, I think it's something that we all go through, that we have to kind of fight with, and I think only now, at 40 years old, where I'm finally kind of coming like out of that, these are the times that we want to work on ourselves, like we want to look at the problems we have, you know, versus when we're 30 or even 20, you know, we're like we don't have fucking problems, you know.
00:17:56.896 --> 00:17:57.682
What are you talking about?
00:17:57.682 --> 00:17:59.333
I'm perfect, you know.
00:17:59.513 --> 00:17:59.615
Yeah.
00:17:59.795 --> 00:18:00.920
So I think that that plays.
00:18:01.174 --> 00:18:03.059
Or the problems that we do have are not about us.
00:18:03.059 --> 00:18:04.063
They're always about other people.
00:18:04.063 --> 00:18:05.886
Exactly Lies.
00:18:05.886 --> 00:18:14.337
I am enough looking in the mirror and actually like believing it.
00:18:14.337 --> 00:18:15.560
You know it's cringy.
00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:16.301
I'm still kind of like.
00:18:16.301 --> 00:18:16.522
I'm still.
00:18:16.522 --> 00:18:21.701
It's so funny because I'm still at that like little stage where I'm like I could go either way.
00:18:21.701 --> 00:18:26.477
I could like fall in love with affirmations or like start laughing at myself for doing them.
00:18:26.477 --> 00:18:28.000
Do you know what I mean?
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.481
mean.
00:18:30.084 --> 00:18:33.269
Yeah, but I can see how it would be cringy yeah.
00:18:33.756 --> 00:18:39.107
See, it's crazy, though you know, because do you say that to yourself?
00:18:42.694 --> 00:18:44.299
That phrase specifically.
00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:46.506
I am enough every once in a while.
