On the third installment of Respecting Perspectives, we take a journey with Tricia Cornwall (AWALL's Mom) as she opens her heart to all of life's fascinating chapters. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving definition of success and the unique challenges faced by today's younger generations. Through Tricia's reflections, we explore the value of passion over monetary gains and the priceless importance of kindness and hard work. As we reminisce about music from childhood to adulthood, we share advice on self-confidence and the courage it takes to try new experiences, while making new friends along the way. Our conversation is laced with humor and nostalgia, touching on inventive parenting strategies and the joys of nurturing a child's independence.

As the episode unfolds, we explore the serendipity in Andrew's musical journey and the impact of supportive mentors, leading to a lively conversation on life's big questions. From Tricia's favorite bands to rapid-fire responses that reveal quirky personal preferences, our dialogue is both engaging and enlightening. She offers a glimpse into her personal values and local favorites, creating a tapestry of memories that resonate with warmth and sincerity. A special live call to the RESPECTING PERSPECTIVES HOTLINE (443-292-2677) highlights the ability to stay in touch with the RP community and is encouraged to be TAPPED IN ! We end the episode with a playful discussion on sea otters and finally get to the bottom of what AWALL's spirit animal really is.

Is it still there now, the hospital? Yeah, it's still there.

Speaker 1:

It's like massive. I haven't been there for many years, okay, but yeah. So we spent a lot of time over there. That was fun.

Speaker 2:

And then where after that, I think I'm trying to lead you to something when we live now. Well, no, where did we live before? We live now.

Speaker 1:

On Roland Avenue Hampton.

Speaker 2:

In Hampton, grew up in Hampton, that's where I spent most of my life, and childhood memories took place In Hampton. Or that's where I spent most of my life, and childhood memories took place in Hamden.

Speaker 1:

Or down the shore.

Speaker 2:

Or down the shore. Yes, let's see here. So Hamden after Hamden, and then now it's kind of Towson, right Towson. I was thinking that one way or the other, is it Giddings or Govans? Govans, york and Northern, so Swallow at the Hollow. We live across the street from Homewood, maybe you should get them to sponsor me Swallow at the Hollow there you go Free burgers.

Speaker 1:

I know they have really good blue cheeseburgers.

Speaker 2:

Hey, shout out to the blue cheeseburgers at Swallow, at the Hollow.

Speaker 1:

Yeah right, it's Monday too, isn't it? Isn't that what they do? I don't know if it's Mondays or not.

Speaker 2:

It might be Okay. Let's see here. You know what? I think that was a good intro. Was there anything else that you wanted to let the? We call them the RP fam. That's what I call them the respecting perspective fam. Did you see, peep? The?

Speaker 1:

Dig. It, did you dig?

Speaker 2:

it, dig it.

Speaker 1:

I saw it when I walked in. Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 2:

I remember when I got this for the first show.

Speaker 1:

Oh and over in the.

Speaker 2:

And we're putting it up in my house and in the backyard. Well, no, we put it up in the front room first and it like just was touching the ceiling and like it's falling over and things are knocking down and that's funny.

Speaker 1:

And the dog's trying to get under it. That was funny.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know it's massive. It is, I know, right. Did you know it was going to be this?

Speaker 2:

big. I didn't, but I was hoping that it was. Let's see here Shout out to Banner Badger.

Speaker 1:

That's what it's called the company. That's what it's called. Okay, let's see here Badger.

Speaker 2:

That's what it's called. That's what it's called the company. That's what it's called. That's cute. Okay, let's see here. I think we should get right into it. Yeah, let's get to questions.

Speaker 1:

That's a good idea.

Speaker 2:

Let's get it chopping, okay. So after we've talked about where you're from and your schooling and things like that, I just want to. I don't know, I just want to dig a little bit. Is that okay, cool, sure, okay. So let's see here what were some of the values that you had when raising me or tried to instill me with um, well, I always just wanted you to be nice and happy Two separate things, not, you know, like a nice person.

Speaker 1:

I always just wanted you to be a nice person and you are, you're a very nice person.

Speaker 2:

Thank you.

Speaker 1:

And just wanted you to be happy. And you seem to be happy. It's not all about the money, it's not all about all that. I mean it's nice, but if you're a nice person, I think that touches more people and that's what you want to do with your music, so it goes along with that and you seem happy doing your music. So it's a good place for you and I think that's all that we can ask. You know, and it's not easy.

Speaker 2:

Why do you say that?

Speaker 1:

Because some people I mean a lot of people just want to go for the money and go and they're miserable doing what they're doing. I mean you have to take the good with the bad too, you know. I mean it'd be great if you could do this all the time and not work like a job. I know right, but you know you've learned that you need both, you know yeah, you need both, so you need that one to keep this one going. So I mean it works out.

Speaker 2:

Do you think a lot of kids or younger generations are kind of missing that part of you know growing up?

Speaker 1:

Missing what part being nice nice.

Speaker 2:

Well, not just being nice, but having you know, having to, to work for it, to have that job.

Speaker 1:

And then also these days I, I don't know. I think that a lot of them are just it's hard. The internet's made it really difficult. Social media, not the internet. I mean the internet's great. I love the internet, but I also hate the internet I know, right it right right. It's like it's you know.

Speaker 2:

We could probably have a whole hour on it, yeah, but I think that the kids these days, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes, you know, like I was at the supermarket and the girl didn't know how to count out change with actual change.

Speaker 2:

Oh, no, so, like you know, I don't know what they're missing.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what they're missing. I don't know what it is that they're missing. But it's not easy for them. I wouldn't want to have a younger child now, that's for sure.

Speaker 2:

It's too hard.

Speaker 1:

Was there a reason why you only had me? Yeah, aren't you enough? No, they say you get a good one and a bad one. I didn't want to go for the bad, so I got the good.

Speaker 2:

Oh, thanks, that means a lot. All right, you know what? Let's switch it up a little bit. Top five, top five, dead or alive, oh, oh, musicians, bands, or like solo musicians, I guess I'd.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I would lose points if I didn't say AWOL, oh nice, nice, all right, I like the Cure.

Speaker 2:

I mean who doesn't like the?

Speaker 1:

Beatles, van Morrison. I just heard Yellow again the other day. I like Yellow. There's a lot of bands that I like. I'm not like. I'm sure I've hummed along to Taylor Swift. Don't know, I don't know, I don't follow music like that anymore.

Speaker 2:

Who's your favorite rapper other than me?

Speaker 1:

Oh, I don't, I like, no, I'm not going to embarrass myself. Come on, a rapper, a rapper other than me, snoop Dogg. There you go.

Speaker 2:

Shout to Snoop.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, no good, no you got you, you got it, you got it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know any no good, good answers with all the top five. I I remember vividly you what shoot fly. I remember vividly you listening to all those bands on the on the you, that record player thing, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. We always did like a lot of music, though. I always like different kinds of music, though.

Speaker 2:

You did always have a player you know in the corner with with a bunch of speakers that and we occasionally will go through the your, your old, like CD list and pick out.

Speaker 1:

It's fun. Music's always been fun.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter what, it is Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was listening to the 40s at work the other day Miami and Nanny but that was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:

I know right. Think about what that means. But I was surprised how many.

Speaker 1:

I knew from growing up listening to it. You know a lot of the stuff that we played while you were growing up. I don't know so much what you listen to, but you know what we listen to, just like I know what my parents listen to so it was fun, I like. Maybe I'll let you hear some of the stuff I listen to well, I listen to you, but I mean I don't, I don't know shout out number two oh, oh God, no All right, let's see here.

Speaker 2:

If you could give your younger self advice, what would it be? No specific topics, just kind of your younger self. What would you tell them?

Speaker 1:

I would say to have more confidence in yourself. Yeah, just to have more confidence, and, you know, do the right thing. I mean, I feel like I did for the most part, but saying no, being able to say no and not feel bad, that's a good one, you know. And having an excuse Like saying no.

Speaker 2:

being able to say no and not feel bad, that's a good one.

Speaker 1:

You know, and having an excuse Like no is a complete sentence. Ooh, no, but it took me a long time to learn that.

Speaker 2:

I like that and I still sometimes feel good. No is a complete sentence.

Speaker 1:

No is a complete sentence.

Speaker 2:

Did you write a book or something?

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, no, no, no no, I actually heard Jane Fonda on an interview say that and I thought it's so true.

Speaker 2:

No, is a complete sentence.

Speaker 1:

But anyway, yeah, just more confidence and try everything.

Speaker 2:

Okay, A little bit of everything right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I didn't try a lot of stuff until I was a little bit older.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I was kind of the same, like with food and you know certain things I was thinking we're like skydiving, skydiving.

Speaker 1:

Right there you go. That was fun. I didn't do that until we went skydiving over the poconos and we. It was her idea, I didn't do that till we didn't do that, like things like that right till later, and I wish I had done them more, because it was more fun while we're on the topic what if?

Speaker 2:

what's something on your bucket list that you've? You know, I never really had a bucket list. You never, you didn't see the movie and like like, immediately bought the notebook and and started.

Speaker 1:

I didn't, I didn't. I think, as things come up, I'm like, yeah, let's try it. Would I do it? Yeah, you know, there's things that you get to a certain point where, yeah, I want to do it, but then I realize that I might not be able to do that anymore. You know why do you?

Speaker 2:

say that why wouldn't you be able to do it now?

Speaker 1:

You know, why do you say that? Why wouldn't you be able to do it now? I guess one of the things that I probably could do physically I mean physically, you know getting older it's not always easy to do some of the stuff.

Speaker 2:

I'm not a hiker. I realize that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh, you better start getting things done then.

Speaker 2:

You better do it now, before you can. Hey, can you do some things for me?

Speaker 1:

Thanks.

Speaker 2:

Before you can't Do it. That's my advice. No, you're right.

Speaker 1:

You're so right Do it before you can't, and luckily I still can Knock on wood. Yeah, you can, I can still do pretty much everything I want you know physically.

Speaker 2:

I mean think about, like you know about your mom and how old she lived.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this is true. I don't want to live that long, Well you know, listen, you don't decide that. Yeah, this is true, I do not.

Speaker 2:

This is true. All right, let's keep it going. How would you define success and this is a two-parter, and do you think it's changed the definition of success? Has it changed throughout?

Speaker 1:

uh, time for me personally, yeah, um, yeah, I think, and I think when you're younger, personally, I, when I was younger, um, I was more about making the money and, you know, making as much as I could to save and do this and do that, and then it changes and money's not everything to me. Time is more important. Now I don't care how much I make, but I like my flexibility in my job. It's okay that I don't make, you know, $200,000, $300,000, $400,000 a year.

Speaker 1:

That's fine, but I'd rather have the flexibility and be, able to do what I want to do with my little money. But I mean, yeah, you know, I think that's it does change after a while, you know it's, doesn't? Money is not as important as it used to be, you know, when you're younger, and so would you. So that means, or would you, equate money with success? Um, no, not, not really, but like I said at the time that was.

Speaker 1:

Success to me was to make a lot of money and the changes, and I mean success is if you're, if you like doing what you're doing. I've succeeded. I'm loving what I do. I'm good at life right now. Everything's even keel. I'm loving it. That's to me success. I don't want to be in the newspaper to be a successful person. I don't need to do any of that.

Speaker 2:

You don't want TMZ just following you around oh.

Speaker 1:

God, no, that would just kill me. God, no, no, this is tough enough. I think I saw one out front. Actually I was like get that?

Speaker 2:

no, I think, no, I think so. Money and success, though I think that's.

Speaker 1:

I think that's a real personal thing right for every it's different for everybody. I mean, you know somebody you know at the stock exchange. Success to them is you, you know, having that really high-profile job, having you know all those things. That's their success, that's their definition. It's not mine.

Speaker 2:

So everyone has a different definition of it.

Speaker 1:

I think so, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I could agree with that 1,000%.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Let's see here Good answer, good answer, good answer on that one. Ten points on the board. Let's see here what are some challenges that you face as a parent.

Speaker 1:

A lot. Mostly, you just want to make sure that you're happy, not happy that you're safe. I mean, I want you to be happy as an adult, as a person, but when you're a child, a parent, I just want you to be safe. I just want to keep you in a bubble that goes the same thing when you're old, because, remember, I used to say I just wanted to keep you and Nanny in a bubble.

Speaker 2:

I just wanted you to be safe but then think if you're in that bubble, you can't see, I know so you can. Only that bubble can only last so long.

Speaker 1:

Well, we never keep you in a bubble.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I guess when you're a baby. That bubble can only last so long, right?

Speaker 1:

Well, it can never keep you in a bubble. I mean, I guess, when you're a baby for a little bit, you know, I mean then you got to let them go.

Speaker 2:

You know what I thought when you were talking about that. You know there's big balls that people like.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I love them in the parks.

Speaker 2:

You have one for a baby. I would do that.

Speaker 1:

See, that's one in the parks. You have one for I would do that. That's one of the things that I'd be like, you know but like you know, it has like like a sumo wrestler, yeah like it's just running around the house like banging things over. Oh my god with a helmet on.

Speaker 2:

You gotta have a helmet all right, call shark tank mark. All right, I'll call you back. Um, okay, let's see here Challenges, let's go. I want to hear about another challenge as a parent other than keeping their kids safe.

Speaker 1:

Well, good education Definitely want to give them all that you can education-wise, and you know, teach them right from wrong. It's, I mean it's. You know you're never wrong. If you're right, you're never wrong.

Speaker 2:

If it's right, you're never wrong. If it's right, you're never wrong.

Speaker 1:

That's not how it goes. I forget how it went.

Speaker 2:

Two wrongs don't make a right. Yeah, there you go. That's true, you know. Let's see here being right is never wrong. Being right is never wrong, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like if you make the right decision.

Speaker 2:

I think they all apply to different. You know circumstances. You know as far as being right and wrong, isn't it? But like who dictates that? You know, like right as far as being right and wrong, isn't it but?

Speaker 1:

who dictates that?

Speaker 2:

Well, doing the right thing is never wrong.

Speaker 1:

Doing the right thing Doing the right thing is never wrong.

Speaker 2:

For sure.

Speaker 1:

So you want to make sure that you instill that right from wrong and that you respect people for that and that you respect people for that. You know, as a child, you have to be your own little person, but then it's hard. You can't teach that to a young, young child.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

That's something that you have to teach them as they're growing up.

Speaker 2:

Or they learn that themselves. They learn how to be an individual themselves, right, I mean think about the world we live in today. You know individualism.

Speaker 1:

And I think that's a great thing. It is, I think it's great. I do, but I just don't like it when it's forced upon you. Like you know, you should be like me, Well, no?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, be your own person. Yeah, be your own person. Yeah, be your own thing, do your own thing and your own definition of it too. Yeah, this is true, as long as you're like back to what you said, you're not hurting anyone, or you're not.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

You're doing the right thing, like you said.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you know again, like just teach them what's right.

Speaker 2:

Let's see here If you could mention one of the more rewarding times during either like my childhood or just your life itself. Actually, when did you feel like you were rewarded with either a feeling or maybe like a gift or you want something? At any point in your life did you feel like you were rewarded something?

Speaker 1:

Oh, as a parent Felt rewarded.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, rewarded something. Oh, as a parent Felt rewarded.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh, when people say, oh, andrew's such a nice guy, or it makes you proud, you know and it does, I mean being close. You don't always see. You know every relationship has its things right.

Speaker 2:

You don't always see every side, you don't, you know?

Speaker 1:

But when people from the outside come in and say, oh my God, you know, Andrew, I met your son the other day. He's such a nice guy. I had somebody just say it to me like two weeks ago.

Speaker 2:

Oh, awesome Again who was it. Do you want to shout him out?

Speaker 1:

Do you want to give him a?

Speaker 2:

shout out?

Speaker 1:

Probably not.

Speaker 2:

No, okay, all right, tell me off and I'll thank him Jeff, his name's. Jeff. Well, that's nice. That's nice that he's.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, but I've had multiple. I've had people say to me oh, you must be so proud of him, you're very thoughtful, you're very caring and it shows you know. I mean you do it just out of the kindness of your heart, especially with young kids. When Nada trusted you to go to Florida with her to be the Manny, I thought that was such a cool thing. You really thrive in that atmosphere with children and old people. I saw that with Nanny when she was getting older.

Speaker 2:

Who's our grandmother? Yeah, my mom, her mom.

Speaker 1:

And when we would go to her assisted living place and we would call bingo. We were the Tuesday night bingo callers at the assisted living place. I knew that was funny. But it was fun and you know I think you're very you're kind-hearted and it makes me proud when people say, oh, you know you're such a good guy.

Speaker 2:

I mean whatever someone says about me, I mean I get all of my characteristics and traits from you and dad, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So there's probably times where you're like oh, you got that from him.

Speaker 2:

Or you got that from me. What's one trait that I got from you?

Speaker 1:

Oh, a good one or a bad one.

Speaker 2:

Both A good one.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I think Danny has a good sense of humor, so you probably got your humor from me, yeah and then you. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know Well, think what do you? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I think, like you said, personally, if I were to answer it, it would be your kind-heartedness.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's nice. That's a good one, that's good.

Speaker 2:

I like that In the bank, In the bank baby.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, probably, I don't know. I think we both tend to wear our heart on our sleeves, and that's not a bad thing or a good thing. I think that's just a fact, you know what I mean it's just that's. Some people are like that um, probably your finance issue when I was younger? Oh yeah, you know you're handling the finances when I was young, like I was younger than you even, and I, I was just I. I get your urges sometimes to spend.

Speaker 2:

I still have them and have to control them yeah, for sure gosh we do like to spend well, sometimes I mean, you know, once you get a little bit of you know of money and I know that's, that's why I get it.

Speaker 1:

I'm, I'm. I totally know where you're coming from.

Speaker 2:

And then you broke again, and I've also been there.

Speaker 1:

That's why I'm always on you to say stop spending like that, don't spend like that, because I've been there and I know.

Speaker 2:

Tell the kids put it into your 401k.

Speaker 1:

As much as you can Diversify your portfolios Right.

Speaker 2:

Tell them about all the cryptocurrencies that you were just stashing up, stashed.

Speaker 1:

She's got a refrigerator full of.

Speaker 2:

Bitcoin. Okay, yeah, okay, let's keep going. We're on a roll, here on a roll. If you could give some advice to other parents of musicians, what's some of that advice?

Speaker 1:

um make sure they practice their violin, whether they practice it naked or not.

Speaker 2:

Um, that was always a struggle and here, here, let's go to commercial.

Speaker 1:

Yeah right.

Speaker 2:

He would only practice his violin.

Speaker 1:

if he was naked in the other room and we couldn't watch, it was a crazy thing Shout out my song that I just released.

Speaker 2:

It's called Moonlight, just in case, just so you know.

Speaker 1:

Oh God really.

Speaker 2:

Music video to come.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just make sure they practice. And I mean, you know, don't really Music video to come. Yeah, just make sure they practice. And I mean, you know, don't force them. But Andrew really wanted to play. His first thing was the violin and it was by chance. I went up to get my violin fixed and he saw the little ones on the wall and was interested and said sure, you want to do it. And then we met.

Speaker 2:

Is that how it?

Speaker 1:

happened.

Speaker 2:

You had a violin and then oh, I interested said sure you want to do it, and then was that how it happened.

Speaker 1:

You had a violin and then I didn't know that. Yeah, then we went up to the little shop on the corner right across from saint thomas yeah, do you remember what the name of that shop was?

Speaker 2:

I don't, but I still have a little card because they had a they had farley's or something, right, yeah well, something like that, something very close to that like, yeah, okay, we have to're going to have to do research on that and then you went to Miss Swiss.

Speaker 1:

Would you like Swiss Miss?

Speaker 2:

in case you're listening. You are one of the coolest teachers yeah, miss Swiss, she was fun. She was fun. She was a good teacher.

Speaker 1:

She was yeah, so find a good teacher if they're really interested.

Speaker 2:

That's a good one.

Speaker 1:

If they really are interested, to definitely pursue it If they're not try something else. But I think learning an instrument is really good on different levels and it's always nice to have that to fall back on you never know and you've played a to have that to fall back on you know you never know, um, and you've played a lot of instruments, so that's good, um, and encourage them and support them. I mean if, even if you don't always like their lyrics, uh, you should still support them.

Speaker 2:

Uh, okay, all right. Yeah, some of their lyrics you know, like the no, no, no, some of their one words every now and then.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes I can't understand them. Now I think you're lucky there. Okay, all right, all right, right because then you don't know if right, I don't know what you're saying, or not?

Speaker 2:

okay, okay, I'll have to. I'll have to remember that for the future.

Speaker 2:

Just encourage and support, okay yeah, okay, all right, okay, yeah, okay, all right. Well, as far as the what's the one thing I mean, not everybody knows, you're one thing with my music, basically curse words. So if you're saying something, I guess that you think that you shouldn't be, shouldn't be, and I'll I'll tell you there was that one. There was one point in my music career where I do remember letting you hear a song and I expected you to us to run out of the room with our hands in the air and do I ever?

Speaker 2:

let's start a festival just because of this, and the first curse word that came up she said turn it off and I'm like what are you talking? About. I was like I just it just started, you're like.

Speaker 2:

Well, that was not a good indicator I guess I don't know what song it was it. I turned it off, I walked out of the door and I I had my head low at first, I will admit, but then it made me really start to use other words instead of a curse words, use other words instead of curse words, and in that I was able to flourish, I guess you could say in a way with the music, because there weren't things that were just holding me down. And usually when those words come up, you're kind of like you know, it's not that you don't have anything else to say, but it's like kind of taking the easy route, you know.

Speaker 1:

I think it just softens it.

Speaker 2:

It's harsh.

Speaker 1:

Some curse words are harsh. I'm not saying I don't say them, but just hearing them over and over again in the songs and sometimes it's just the opportunity to say something that means something, because somebody's actually listening to you. Yeah, I don't know why curse words bother me so much. I mean, it's not like I'm. I don't use them, but yeah All right?

Speaker 2:

Well, we'll have to. I don't know. We'll revisit that one in a few years.

Speaker 1:

Okay, when you're on the, when we're live and then when we have our own podcast, you have to choose every day that would be fun um, okay, let's see here we'd have to have cocktails first oh for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2:

During uh, let's see here was there a moment, moment, I don't know if we did. We talk about a moment that that made that. Actually when was a moment that you made yourself proud?

Speaker 1:

Um well, nothing that stands out. But I mean, you know, I just left the outside in minus 32 degree weather. That was pretty, that made me proud.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm like dang.

Speaker 1:

Probably at the time, though, you were like, yeah, it was cold, it was cold.

Speaker 2:

But then after that you kind of you're like you get used to it.

Speaker 1:

You dress right, you're good, but I was proud. I didn't like cry and come home.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Stood your ground. Yeah, it was cold With the Huskies, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Tell them where you were. It was in the Yukon. Up in the Yukon Volunteered for the Yukon Quest dog mushing. It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:

I remember you having a lot of stories and photos with it.

Speaker 1:

What you having a lot of stories and photos with it. What we were proud of, nothing I mean.

Speaker 2:

Maybe what about when you were a kid? I'm not that excited.

Speaker 1:

Andrew, I'm just. You're the most exciting thing in my life you brought me here. That might be the most exciting thing ever? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

You're underestimating your power.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's nice of you to say.

Speaker 2:

All right, let's keep going. Let's keep going. Okay, we're almost done, I promise. Okay, you're doing awesome, though You're doing awesome. Okay, let's see here. What do you think? Actually, we'll wind it with this. What do you think happens About death In the?

Speaker 1:

afterlife.

Speaker 2:

I have no idea.

Speaker 1:

I'm very curious and I think I have a healthy relationship with my curiosity in death. And I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know I'm not going to lie. I have no idea. I don't know either. I don't know, but don't know I'm not going to lie. I have no idea, I don't know either. I don't know, but I'm not afraid. What do?

Speaker 2:

you think, Like if you were to paint a picture that was like I'm not afraid to die.

Speaker 1:

I don't want. I don't like the dying part. I'm not afraid to die, I just don't like dying. I've seen different ways people go and it and it's. I don't want that. And even they said they didn't want it. But you don't know.

Speaker 2:

So what about these guys who you hear like I want?

Speaker 1:

the pod. I told you I want the pod.

Speaker 2:

The pod. I want the pod. Yeah, okay, and describe what the pod is again.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the pod is awesome, you go. They only have it in, I think, like three places right now.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

You go in, they take your body to a pod. And it's a cylinder they put you in. They put like barley and hay and a bunch of other things.

Speaker 2:

Is that a pod a?

Speaker 1:

P-O-D. Yes, okay, and they push you into the wall and it's about I think they said it's like a six-week to nine-week process that everything just breaks down. Naturally you are actually made into mulch. It's a company that does this. Oh, that's awesome. It's called Recomposting and I learned that from one of my death podcasts. Oh, there you go.

Speaker 2:

Give a shout-out. What's the podcast that you listen to? Ask a.

Speaker 1:

Mortician. Ask a Mortician With Caitlin Dowdy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she loves that, I love her. Caitlin, if you hear this, that's all she listens to.

Speaker 1:

And so yeah, so it's actually interesting. And then there's places in the forest that need like mulch for trees so the trees can grow to give shade over the rivers for the salmon. I mean, it's all you know. It breaks it all down and it all works together and we all have to help to you know, continue it. So then you're made into mulch. You could bring some mulch home and put it in the garden. You could put me in the garden, your actual garden. I mean you are actually mulched then at that point.

Speaker 1:

And then the environmentalists will take the rest of it and put it where they need it.

Speaker 2:

Gotcha.

Speaker 1:

But it's not like you're not burnt. You know you're not. I mean I did want to get cremated, but then I thought, no, that's too much, it's bad for the environment anyway.

Speaker 2:

If you were that mulch, where would you want to be planted? Anywhere in the world.

Speaker 1:

Oh, wow, maybe someplace. I haven't been, but would like to go Somewhere in the United States probably, or Canada, I want to be a. Canadian. I wish I were a Canadian. Eh, eh, eh. I wish I were a Canadian. I wish I were a Canadian. I'm bad at that one. Yeah, so someplace nice, probably.
