R.O.F.L. (Reach Out For Love)

Basma succeeds because *and* in spite of the stress of putting herself into challenging situations and wearing many hats. We're not saying she has ADHD but she's also not beating the allegations.

Wes' yearly hell week is in the rearview. (The horrors persist, but so do I!). Slowing things down to a leisurely stroll now. Just happy to be yappy, y'all.

And hey - yes you! - the kids are alright. Don't let the suck of adulthood rob you of your imagination and "childish" desire to enjoy the little things. I promise life doesn't have to be super serious all the time. Dare to be whimsical. Be silly. Smile intentionally. I dare you. And drink some water.

Unknown Speaker 0:39
Is what's up everybody? Welcome to the episode. We're gonna be talking about motivation, being yourself, but also, as Wesley says, oh, oh, growing through what we're going through.

Unknown Speaker 0:55
Yeah, no, I actually do mean it. I just like, I can't, I can't be 100% serious all the time. It's like, not in my nature, but, yeah, I mean, I overthink too much. Yeah, overthinking something that we can do, especially in stressful times. Noticing, actually stress, I've noticed, for me, does a lot to in terms of my weight loss. I don't know, why are you trying to lose weight? No, oh, well. I mean, I wasn't trying to gain, and I'm not trying to lose. Technically, I'm still the same weight, but I see my body changing as I'm as I'm stressing more, which is really interesting to see happening in real time. I'm confused. Wait, if you don't feel like you're gaining or losing weight, really, but you're seeing physical changes with your body, right? Right? I don't understand. How does one well, I had the song stuck

Unknown Speaker 1:42
in my head, do what you want. Okay, all right, I have no idea,

Unknown Speaker 1:48
but yeah. So what I noticed is that, because you know me, I'm always doing a lot of random projects, and you're always doing everything forever, I like love stressing myself to the max, for some reason, yeah, you have self destructive tendencies for real, they're productive, but they're still self destructive. Yeah, self productive. That's funny. I like, I like, I could be I know the difference between self sabotage and like and like, just being very like, hard on myself. So it's constantly hard on myself, because I was gonna say, you are not nice to yourself. Sometimes there is that self sabotage when you're stressed out, but I've learned over time, especially when you have good friends around you, how to not self sabotage at the same time. So for example, if you're stressed out one day, you're having a bad day, and you're just like thinking to yourself, I want to quit everything. Once you think I want to quit everything, that's when I start. It triggers my Oh, I think I might be doing some self sabotage response in my mind, because I'm used to friends pointing that out for me first. So if you find yourself thinking, Oh, I'm failing, or I'm doing this, and you're talking to your friend, your friends, like you're not doing that bad of a job, yeah, I mean, you're doing pretty good, that's how, you know, Oh well, I guess I might be self sabotaging right now. And then that's when you self analyze and eat something, sleep, take a nap, you know, like, take care of yourself, and then you'll, you'll see. So right now, Wesley is technically overthinking the microphone. No, I just don't want it to fall because it has before. Oh, so, okay, I was about to ask, no, like, literally, there was a, so there was maybe a year, year and a half ago, there was an episode of Let's Talk with Leah and Rhonda, that it always aired on Saturdays

Unknown Speaker 3:23
and during the recording session, the where the microphone, like, screws in right here, yeah, on the on the arm, completely, like, I don't know how, but, like, completely got loose, and the microphone just like fell, it hit the table. And, like, the the Leah was on her microphones, like, literally, the one that you're on right now, and she, like, it fell, and she kind of caught it, and the whole, like, big thunk, and then she still continued the episode while I had to run in here and, like, silently try to, like, fix it. And somehow between that happening and how I was able to get everything, like, fixed in the moment without stopping the recording, and edit it all back together after the fact, you would never know that there was, like, a technical malfunction, or like the microphone, like, Yeah, that's great, actually, uh, as a skill, to be able to do that multitasking during stressful situations. And that was I, first time I ever did it, and then for only time I ever had to do it, and I never want to do it again. I would wish anybody, because it was these are expensive microphones. Were you proud of yourself though you were, like, I did that? No. Um, so, because it was born out of, like, an immediately, like, stressful, like, oh my god, solve the problem. Immediately. There's a fire. So, yeah, no, I didn't, and I didn't feel proud of myself for solving the problem. I like, I guess so after the Edit was done, right? Like, after I was able to like in post, be like, Okay, I got the episode sounding good. You really wouldn't know what happened if you weren't like in the moment or heard the story. So I guess after the fact, I felt proud of what I was able to cobble together in the moment, I was just like, oh relief. Thank God the fires put out were good. I.

Unknown Speaker 5:00
Like in the moment, I was just relieved to have the problem fixed, because it was so urgent and such I was such a big deal, I felt proud afterwards. It wasn't. It wasn't necessarily because I fixed the microphone problem. It was because I You handled that. I handled I handled the I handled the mess of a recording it would leave me with if I didn't have the skills to be able to edit around it, and I did it. So I was proud because of a different reason, but it was connected. So, yes, yeah, hooray. That sounds like it went well, yeah, kind of mostly

Unknown Speaker 5:33
what has been going on this week for you? Well, yeah, the stress thing, really, I just noticed how much stuff is on my plate last week. Yeah, having a lot of stuff, I think you're still kind of going through it, right? No, it's a lot better this week. It's a lot better. Is that, is that your set list for the music on the table, right there? Is that your set list? Oh, no, no, no. That's that's part of a project I have to do. But that's not like an immediate deadline. Well, at least it relates to what you want to do in real life. Ish, yeah, um, what you're seeing on my desk is just, we are in real life. Yeah, really, I know, um, we, that's funny. We, we put up so, like, there's a weekly top 20 smooth jazz countdown, yeah, that airs on every Saturday and Sunday at 10am on a 91 Boyd vibe FM, and we are going to start basically offering it nationwide for other FM stations to pick up if they so choose. And in doing that with the with one of the new platforms that we started using,

Unknown Speaker 6:38
I have to go back and retroactively add the set lists, like the track list for those, for those older shows that aired, and I have to go back into the metadata and put all that in so that stack of papers you see is like all the chart data from all those weeks dating back to January. Yeah. The reason why I brought it up is because through all the stress that you, that you did go through, basically, you were able to, like, come out the other side and still be doing what you're doing, like what you want to do. Yeah, I definitely was sleep deprived because of how busy I was last week, but it is okay, or technically, we can before because of when this is going to air. But, um, yeah, it's been a lot better of a week this time. And actually, can, I can actually, like, pace myself a little bit better. I don't feel so under the gun about all the projects I have to do, and most of the heaviest lifting of my week is already done, thankfully.

Unknown Speaker 7:39
Yeah, that feeling of, I keep myself organized, it's kind of what helps. So this relates to what I was talking about earlier, when I said, after you were able to get rid of that microphone or fix that microphone during the live stream, right? And it wasn't, well, it wasn't during a live stream, wasn't during a live broadcast. Nothing I do is, is live, live, but being like, it being recorded, and that happened, yeah, that's Yeah, exactly like, yeah. Like, you were able to fix that while it was going and still save the the day. Basically, yeah, those those situations that you go through, that where you have to be you're in a very stressful situation, but yet you're able to get out of it. On the other side, that is something that I feel, I am kind of addicted to, that that pat your back, pat yourself on the back, feeling where you're going through a very stressful situation. It's very difficult at the beginning, but you're still able to get out on the other side. And that's something that I love, and that's the reason why I put myself in those situations, because I know once I put my time and effort into it and put all my focus into it, it's gonna come out better on the other side. And that's something also that a lot of people, what I've noticed, they actually don't put themselves in those difficult situations because, for some reason, they don't like it. So maybe you can give me a little bit of an understanding on why we wouldn't want to put ourselves in those stressful situations as a as, like a chronically anxious and somewhat stressed person. Basically, I still, and this is me speaking with like, having, like generalized anxiety disorder and definitely having, like, my life is like on the day to day, like, affected by some latent amount of anxiety and depression. Like, by default, I will get those like, stressful thoughts in my brain, or, like, especially that stressful, that translation of like a stressful thought to having that stress, like, manifest in your body, and you can, like, feel that tightness.

Unknown Speaker 9:34
It always feels the same, even if I am used to a situation,

Unknown Speaker 9:39
that little ping and pang of like, like, hey, this, Hey, this tiny alarm bell in your head, or, like, hey, this, like, sudden, like, internal, like, I don't want to say impulse, but like, that moment where the anxiety, like, hits your body kind of thing, I will still feel that maybe it won't be as pronounced, maybe it won't be as like, intense or sharp.

Unknown Speaker 10:00
Up, but I will know that it's like, essentially the same thing. But I do get used to it to the point that I kind of go, you know, silly brain, silly nervous system. It's just this thing that I'm used to doing. Yeah, and you kind of like, show us through, like, because obviously there's a lot of issues that could happen while you're live streaming, or while not even live streaming, while you're recording that you actually have to mitigate through that anxiety and still get it done. Yeah, I've had, I've had moments where I've had, I've had moments where, like, a little tiny slip, and then it's like, I think I ruin a recording. And I I've definitely had, like, close calls like that before. They uh, they happen. They happen. They happened very rarely. And nowadays, when they happen, it's like, they catch me off guard, because, you know, it's something, it's something totally new that, like, kind of like, happens without my input necessarily. Um, I'm just comparing it to like when you were, when you first started this job. Yeah, it's, it's, and I know we don't have to talk about just this job in general. Yeah, yeah. When you first started, I remember like, and me, even me, when I start a new job, everything seems so difficult. Yeah, the little things seem Yeah. It's like, oh man, oh man, there's so much stuff. How do people even do this job on a daily basis? And it's like, because people don't think about the little things, as much as like you and me do like those things, like people are able to create habits, and I struggle to do that. I like, I'll I'll be, you know, I have my workflow. I'm used to doing the same things and having like my preferences for how I do this and how I do that and and the steps I want to take. But I have to actively, like, recall that in my memory and actively apply that in the moment. Well, I don't know how to describe that to people when it's like, autopilot that people have.

Unknown Speaker 11:50
I don't have that autopilot when you are when you start the job, it's more difficult, right? When you get used to the job, it becomes less difficult. Oh, yeah, just because you get used to it. Yeah, exactly. So, like, obviously, yeah, you could be having those thoughts, though, but you're able to mitigate through those thoughts better and and probably most like you, 100% better than someone who would just start that job. That's true. Yeah, never had that. If I'm, if I'm, if I'm, that's a better way to put it. If I'm facing, like, stuff that's new, that then becomes, like, you know, part of the everyday routine. Then, of course, it becomes easier over time, right, right? But then also at the same time, it becomes when new stuff comes up that could be stressful or anything like that, or anxiety inducing, because I'm comfortable with, like, more general everyday stuff, like the new stuff that pops up is, by comparison, like, I don't want to say easier, but definitely easier to kind of roll with the punches. Yeah. So when you start the word comfortable, yeah? So that's actually something that pertains to what we're talking about in terms of comfortability, right? Life actually is never comfortable for us most of the time, yeah? And if it is, it's always temporary, because life is constantly changing, yeah? So when we're when we're when we're in that comfortable feeling. Obviously, we don't want to get out of that comfortable feeling. And there's always going to be a new stressor if you're trying to grow, if you're trying to, you know, go towards some type of a goal, and what, the way I made it, not mitigate, but the way I get over that, that thought process of, like, I'm really comfortable right now, though I don't want to, I don't want to change this situation. I'm happy right now, you know? Yeah, I'll just like, add, keep adding stuff on top of my situation, because it keeps me what do you call it? When you're when you're pushing yourself, you're just, you're it keeps me challenging myself, okay, while still enjoying that comfortable feeling, until, obviously, there's no more comfortable feeling. And then I'll move on to the next one. It'll still be there. So I'm comfortable in layers of comfortability. I see what you mean. Yeah, I don't have, I get what you're coming from. I'm very much, like my life experience, very much is I, I want, I want and need a comfortable foundation to then do what you're saying, like, Okay, I'm comfortable. I've got my stuff, I've got I've got my normal every day, I've got my routine. I've got like, like, like, the quote, unquote life stuff is like, solid, it's consistent, it's stable as much as possible. Because, you know, life is life. And like, I'm still, in a lot of ways, and I, for a long time, have been still trying to cement that foundation, getting that so, yeah, so like having to kind of build on top of partial comfortability and then deal with however much chaos on top of it, but whether it's the recurring, everyday stuff that isn't solid foundation, but is just it is what it is, and I have to deal with it, Then I'll find some comfortability where I can but I know it's kind of like, it's kind of wishy washy, and then the same thing with like new stuff in everyday life is like, I'll roll with the punches, and I'll use what I have and like tools in my toolbox to Exactly, that's exactly what I do. I'll do that, but that technically, those tools are.

Unknown Speaker 15:00
Are your base, yeah, but what I'm saying is, I'm still, I'm still striving to find that, that, um, that comfort and that foundation and that and that initial, like, safe starting place, pretty much to then do what you're saying more and more comfortably. Challenge myself, you know, take on new. I mean, you can ventures new, whatever you can do it either way. You could wait until you're comfortable, yeah, or you can do it while you're uncomfortable, yeah. And I mean, a lot of people will say, like, a lot of your best, your best, a lot of the times you discover yourself and you really like learn about yourself, or you really like learn more about life, or whatever task is at hand is when you're stressed out, when not fully stressed. Out. We talked about this before, right, right, not paralyzingly stressed out, but just enough to keep you, like, challenging on to the next thing and looking like, present and looking forward. Yeah, you guys can listen to our previous podcast about that. We actually had, we had a whole conversation about that. Yeah, it was because I was, like, hold on. I have, like, I like, paralyzing mental issues. So you gotta, you gotta, you gotta understand it's a little different, but, but, yeah, basically for me, it would be that it's like I do, like getting out of my comfort zone, um, like, cautiously. I have no problem with trying something new or doing something, doing something new, but I also am not the kind of person that, if I have to, like unnaturally inorganically forced myself to do something new. It doesn't quite hit the same, just because, oh, it's new, like, the dopamine doesn't hit just like immediately, just because it's, it's, well, you that kind of novel you have to have, you have to be passionate about it exactly like, if you don't have that there, then obviously it's not gonna, yeah, if I get, if I get voluntold into something, you know, maybe I'll enjoy it a little bit for what it is, or I'll feel good, because, like, I, you know, I was recommended this, or encouraged to do this by somebody, so in that sense, like, that's cool. But like, you're saying, If I don't have an inherent, like, personal motivation, passion for it, yeah, yeah, which is weird, I'm saying that. But at the same time, it's like, it's like, weird, because I don't have certain motivation for certain things that I do. I just, I have a motivation to do it, but I don't have that passion for doing it, but I'm doing it anyways sometimes, and when I like, for example, when I studied my economics bachelor's degree, okay, I hated economics. Yeah, I was just purely driven by by passion, not passion, motivating myself to, hey, you're gonna, you're gonna do this. You're kind of, yeah, I think you're not good at this, but you're gonna prove that. I was gonna say it kind of sounds like just, I mean, I can't tell you about yourself like this, but it sounds like you were forcing yourself through it, rather than you were genuinely like it wasn't, it didn't sound like a you were chasing a pursuit. Because you're like, I love this. I'm so into this. I genuinely like, ah, let's go. Let's go. Because you were just like, I'm going to do this. It's going to happen. You made it a goal, even if you hate what that goal is, yeah, because I can't do that. Like, hats off to you for being able to do that, I would, I feel like I would really do damage to myself trying to do that. Growing up, I've had a lot of people saying stuff like, oh, you can't do this if you're not, if you're not a certain type of person, or your certain situation, your house, your situation has to be like this. And I'm just like, I don't agree with that. So the keeping you boxed in kind of thing, yeah, and I don't believe in that for anything, yeah, like, I, like, for example, I wasn't raised around music. Actually, no one in my family does music interesting. And I was very much older, and I'm like, You know what? I'm gonna go to music school thing. Yeah, went to music because you actually, well now, yeah, that one was pure passion. It was actually you wanting to do, yeah? And if I didn't have the passion there, I would be very confused why I was there. Okay, yeah, I know. I know. Why would you suffer? Why would you suffer for the art if you don't like the art? Like, No, how can you, how can you even do art without being passionate about your art? Like, I don't even know how. Like, there's two different things. So, like, for example, there's the art side and then there's a science and math side. I You can go through science and math, yeah, having no passion for that. Like, I believe that because I'm not good, not me, but, but other people can. I've done it multiple times. Like, I first for science and math. Literally, all I have to do is just put a ton of time into it, yeah, and effort and believe in myself and just and when I fail, get back up, do it again, yeah, when you fail, do it get back up, do it again. You don't have to be naturally good at, actually, anything. You can learn how to do it right. And I've teach my students that for you know, I'm a singing teacher now, yeah, I do a lot of people out of saying, Are they like, are they kids? What age group? All age groups. And actually, two of my students, just when they just got to the finals for this huge competition, they win $3,000 Oh, cool. He has five. Oh, dang. He just

Unknown Speaker 19:43
helped these kids one of PS, five. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 19:46
I'm so happy about that. And then, um, one of my other students, she's much, she's like, older, she's like, around my age, and she's been doing clarinet her whole life, and she just learned, learned singing with me. She already had.

Unknown Speaker 20:00
Had a good voice, but she she's learning how to really push her voice forward and bring out that emotion, because there's a lot more to singing than just sounding, yeah, obviously, yeah. It's not just hitting pitch, yeah. It's like finding your yourself, yeah. It's like having like energy and putting it out there. Yeah, she's gonna perform with me at my concert this October, where I'm singing. She's gonna be one of my background singers and and she's doing, actually, she's doing amazing breaking news. Everybody you know, I think it's gonna be in October. If it's not all I'll keep you guys updated. Yeah, I was gonna say not. Suddenly we have an event to tell people you're gonna come watch my concert. Oh, great. Yeah. He's like, no, no, wait, what is it? How did I get stuck? What day is it? Oh, I we don't have a set day. We're just doing rehearsals. Gonna say I genuinely have, like, a date in October where I'm, I'm very much busy with other musically related things. I can't make it. So you're like, I'm so sorry. Like, I'm thinking ahead. I'm like, if you tell me that it's on October 18, I can't do it. Imagine, imagine, like, any day I can't, I can't do it. October. What the date? October? The day I'm busy. Oh, dang so sorry about no no, genuinely Well, we're just joking. Yeah, we're joking. While we're on the topic, though, October 18 at Fremont Country Club, I'm going with my best friend and possibly two others the day that it is no dang well, then I'm sorry, genuinely sorry, Bosma, but I will not be able to make it to your singing thing. I will be screaming my guts out to two of my favorite bands. So it's all good, yeah, October 18 at the Fremont Country Club is less than Jake and kill Lincoln. And I am so excited for this show because I love I love ska music. Everyone, everyone who knows me, knows that less than Jake is one of my like all time, top five favorites, sometimes my number one, I really I want to go now, just because you said you've been pre planning it, there's one concert that I got invited to. It was the blue October and a bunch of other like, oh, I never got into blue October, but I have a lot of friends who, let me just tell you, fans, yeah, let's tell you right now, that was an amazing live concert. I bet I was thrilled to be invited to that excellent I love, I love those concerts. It makes me want to watch. This is why Wesley probably watches concerts like every month, at least once you say, watches like, I like. I see them on TV or something. I attend to concerts, my speech is kind of, I don't even know. Honestly, guys, I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna be some peel the curtain back, as if you didn't already know this. We just find time to record because we're so we're both so busy, and then we just jump in here and it's like, what's our week been? Like, what's on our mind? What have we been going through? It's really, I was thinking, it's good that we're in the studios every week, just really giving the perspective of we're technically millennials, which we are, yeah, we've, I think we've kind of touched on this before being born. Are you also born in 94 Yeah? Like, we're, like, weeks. It's funny. Actually, I love that. When was when you were born? When? July? July. Yeah, July. What? 9417

Unknown Speaker 22:56
that's so funny. I was supposed to be born on July 17. I'm not kidding. You know, six weeks early. He was like, oh, you know what, this is my time. No, it's true. I think it's a 17th. It's like, 17th, 18th, 19th, something like that. Because I was six weeks early, and then my mom had me baptized on my due date. Oh, you got baptized as a kid. I was a baby, a baby baptized, yeah, what? Yeah. I didn't they just, you know, they just sprinkle them with a little, oh, I thought they dunk them in the burned sober. They

Unknown Speaker 23:26
tried to give me the holy water. And I went. One of my friends got actually, every time my friends get baptized, I always go attack every time my friends I'm serious. How frequently are you going to these Baptists? At least, like, three Baptists. How were they, like, they're old. They're like, my age, okay, yeah, we're not over 30. I know, don't say we're old, but I mean, like they're older. Yeah, you don't, you don't think of adults getting baptized like you think of like youth getting baptized. Perhaps I love when they invite me to their baptism, just because they're so passionate about others. Want to see me walk into this lake like, all right, they're so emotional right after to that, well, yeah, because they, like, get spiritually cleansed and, yeah, they film those refreshed and made whole the church, yeah, the church films, you like, right after. That's weird to me. I don't get that, but I get it at the same time. I like, yeah, I get it in terms of like that, that sense of like, it's the 80s and 90s, and it's a whole movie, and we're recording someone's experience, like, exactly, like a memory, I get a good memory, but, like, I'm so used to everything immediately, being like, oh, it's gonna go on YouTube, but it's gonna go on social media. And it's like, I don't, I don't like the idea of, like, life moments, especially, like meaningful, like, even, like little everyday life, spiritual things said to be personal, you know? So like, the people who see it, it's like, it's awesome. If, like, dude, anyone can go see it. It's like, on YouTube, it's like, yeah, that's cool. But like, Oh, I'm trying to get like, views and clicks and likes for this baptism. Yeah. Like, that's weird. The thing that I know marketing is weird to me. I don't like it. The thing I don't get is similar to what you don't get because.

Unknown Speaker 25:00
Because in my mind, I'm like, I totally get it. I want that memory. I want to share it with the people that, yeah, that's a keepsake. Memory. Do you want it recorded? But you're not necessarily like, Oh, I'm gonna make money off of this video where I'm trying to, like, try to prove myself to other people. Yeah. I don't even talk to like, yeah, I was gonna say it could be very easily, you can. You're talking about a baptism, you could easily act like a Pharisee, being like, oh yes, look how they're spiritual and religious. I am. I got baptized everybody because I hope that's never the case. I would really I'm not assuming that,

Unknown Speaker 25:34
if there are people, no one's ever done, that people get baptisms for the clout. No,

Unknown Speaker 25:39
baptized, bro. What is the point,

Unknown Speaker 25:44
bro? I'm safe for the Lord, and it got me 5 million views. I'm kidding. Oh, man, I said bro, it's and I'm like, Oh, the word bro, you know the the lingo changes every year. And like, Ohio cap, for real, for real, though, no,

Unknown Speaker 26:00
man, I want to keep up with it. But then, honestly, I feel like I'm getting old me and my cousin, me and my cousin kind of created our own slang, or, like, took a word and, like, changed it and morphed it into, you know, when you hear like, the word whack, and you're like, oh, that's whack, and you're like, Oh, that sucks.
