Be nice, would ya!!?

[00:00:04] Speaker A: Shmoopy. [00:00:05] Speaker B: Hi. I'm eating chocolate. [00:00:08] Speaker A: Of course you are. I don't think I've ever met a man who eats more chocolate than you. This man has chocolate covered almonds with his coffee every freaking morning of his life. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Almost pretty much. [00:00:25] Speaker A: No, for real. No, not pretty much. Jesus, look your mouthful. Okay. We want to talk about small things. [00:00:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:00:34] Speaker A: What are the small things you can do to make you feel better? Every day this world is overwhelming. A little scary. Thank you for my tea. [00:00:46] Speaker B: You can think about one nice thing you could do for someone else every single day. Even if you're on your own or I want to say lonely. But if you're on your own and you're out and about, do something nice for somebody. [00:01:02] Speaker A: I believe I'd like to push that further. When we do something for someone, it takes us out of our own way. [00:01:12] Speaker B: Right? [00:01:13] Speaker A: When I'm not feeling super hot, you know what I do? [00:01:16] Speaker B: Oh, when does that ever happen? [00:01:17] Speaker A: Oh, shush. When I don't feel so good, I give love. I spread love. That's my motto. Spread love. I send notes in the mail, homemade cards. I leave little text messages or voicemails to people that I love. I tell them how much they mean to me. That makes me feel good. [00:01:40] Speaker B: And when you're spreading your love, is there usually some tetracycline or penicillin on hand? [00:01:45] Speaker A: Oh, shush. Why do you always go there? [00:01:50] Speaker B: No, I agree with you. That's. That's. Yeah. Focus on someone else's. I don't want to say situation, but just. [00:01:59] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, no. [00:02:00] Speaker B: Turn yourself outward. [00:02:02] Speaker A: It's not exactly. I think that's the better way to say it is. It's not about focusing on someone else's situation or disregarding your own. I think it's more about putting. Sharing whatever your gift is with other people. So then you get outside yourself. Wow. I'm not saying that properly. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Well, you're not thinking about all the crap. You're feeling good, you're sharing joy. Joy. [00:02:40] Speaker A: Sharing joy. [00:02:41] Speaker B: By the way, for someone that's done DV work a lot in the past for the visually impaired and have worked with the blind and visually impaired. [00:02:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:51] Speaker B: When you slap my hand like that. [00:02:54] Speaker A: What does it mean? [00:02:54] Speaker B: We have to describe what took place because they don't know. But in this case, everyone is blind or visually impaired because it's audio only. So I have to say, I'm flapping your hand. Isn't that cool? So if there's a clunk or something. [00:03:14] Speaker A: This is my cup of Tea. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Setting it down. [00:03:18] Speaker A: That's right. Are we doing a mini DV trial at the same time as dv, by the way, is descriptive video. [00:03:25] Speaker B: Right. [00:03:26] Speaker A: Both of us have done it before. It's fabulous. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Yeah, it's really cool. In both countries, the United States and Canada. Of course, this might get thrown out now. Who knows? For God's sakes. But. [00:03:41] Speaker A: Oh, stop. We gotta stop saying that. We're gonna get thrown out. [00:03:44] Speaker B: No, we're not gonna get thrown out. The law that requires what I'm about to tell you might get thrown out. Because why not? Like everything else that's semi decent? [00:03:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:03:55] Speaker B: They pass laws that all past TV shows and movies and new. Obviously, TV shows and movies have to have described video for the blind, vision. [00:04:04] Speaker A: Impaired audience, which is, I think, fantastic. [00:04:06] Speaker B: Right. Just kind of like, close that. Closed captioning for the deaf. Deaf. Thank you. Hard of hearing or hard of hearing? Yeah, I don't know if that terminology's changed again, but. Oh, well, they have DV for the blind and it's mandatory, so it's kind of a business. Yeah, but you'd be surprised. I'm not sure about the United States, but I was shocked. How many people in Canada, of The, what, approximately 35 million people that live in the country. [00:04:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Something like 6 or 7 million have some type of visual impairment. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Really? [00:04:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:49] Speaker A: Wow. [00:04:49] Speaker B: In some way, shape or form. Yeah. Pretty crazy. [00:04:52] Speaker A: That's like a fifth. Mm. [00:04:55] Speaker B: That seemed like a lot to me. [00:04:57] Speaker A: That's me doing math. [00:04:58] Speaker B: What are you doing? Math. But, you know, this is also you saying goodbye. [00:05:01] Speaker A: Bye.
