- 0:35Speaker 1: last time you felt euphoric?
- 0:37Speaker 3: Okay? So this was my question? Oh, this is your question,
- 0:40Speaker 3: was actually my question. This is your question for us,
- 0:42Speaker 3: for y'all, because let me tell you where it came from.
- 0:45Speaker 3: All right, last week I had all my kids were home, Okay,
- 0:48Speaker 3: I was driving from the grocery store and I had
- 0:51Speaker 3: the most euphoric joy come over me that I was
- 0:55Speaker 3: in tears. I felt so much happiness. And then in
- 0:58Speaker 3: that very same moment, I thought, this is the first
- 1:01Speaker 3: time I felt euphoric since Mom died. And with that thought,
- 1:05Speaker 3: I was crushed. My heart was crushed. I'm having this
- 1:09Speaker 3: joy and from joy it is in absolute grief.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:14Speaker 3: And I thought, no, that internal hype girl in me
- 1:18Speaker 3: is like, do not do this? Thank God, start thinking,
- 1:21Speaker 3: you know. So then I began thank thank you God
- 1:23Speaker 3: that Mom and Dad were my parents, that they raised me,
- 1:26Speaker 3: that they loved me, that they Yes, I wish I
- 1:27Speaker 3: had more time. But then I began to just go
- 1:30Speaker 3: through all the things I'm so thankful for to feel,
- 1:32Speaker 3: to get myself back up to that joyful feeling that
- 1:35Speaker 3: I was feeling. So I get home. All the kids
- 1:38Speaker 3: are sitting around, so I tell them this moment that
- 1:41Speaker 3: I had, and then I said, what are y'alls you
- 1:43Speaker 3: for it moments? And just to hear everybody, and I'm
- 1:47Speaker 3: telling you, the whole room was like lighter because everyone's
- 1:50Speaker 3: sharing the last time they felt euphoric, the euphoric moments,
- 1:54Speaker 3: And it was such a fun conversation that I thought,
- 1:56Speaker 3: I want to come in the studio today and I
- 1:57Speaker 3: want to ask y'all, when was the last you felt
- 2:01Speaker 3: you for it?
- 2:02Speaker 1: Huh? All right, Terry Mama.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Why are you smiling? What kind of are you thinking about?
- 2:11Speaker 4: Mine was about eleven thirty last night.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Really, that's the.
- 2:19Speaker 4: I would say. I was thinking. When you brought this
- 2:23Speaker 4: up today, I thought, well, at first I thought it
- 2:27Speaker 4: was when when still hit that walk off to win
- 2:29Speaker 4: the championship, and I couldn't feel my knees, and I've
- 2:31Speaker 4: just a rush of euphoria that I've never felt before,
- 2:35Speaker 4: Like I still I still think about that time, and
- 2:38Speaker 4: that was what four years ago. But just recently, there's
- 2:41Speaker 4: been little bitty euphoric moments, you know, Slade calling me, Mom,
- 2:46Speaker 4: I got that full ride to SMU law school, you know,
- 2:49Speaker 4: summer Mom, I'm pregnant. Like these euphoric moments have come
- 2:54Speaker 4: so fast lately that it's like I don't even have
- 2:58Speaker 4: time not to feel the joy in life. And then
- 3:01Speaker 4: I think about steal interested moving to Tennessee, and then
- 3:03Speaker 4: all the euphoria is gone because they're taking my grandson
- 3:06Speaker 4: from me. But what about you, Stephen?
- 3:10Speaker 1: I have no idea, really, it's and part of that
- 3:14Speaker 1: is because I'm a lot more even keeled than I
- 3:18Speaker 1: used to be, so I don't have the spikes and
- 3:22Speaker 1: I don't have the valleys that I used to have.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm in a smaller range of emotion than I used
- 3:31Speaker 1: to be, So I honestly don't know the last time
- 3:35Speaker 1: I actually had euphoria. Really, I can tell you the
- 3:39Speaker 1: last times I've had gratefulness you know, those are emotions
- 3:43Speaker 1: that hit me. I do so I do a lot
- 3:47Speaker 1: of work at the church with altar ministry and people
- 3:50Speaker 1: coming up and praying and stuff like that, and so
- 3:52Speaker 1: I guess the closest that I'm getting to that is
- 3:55Speaker 1: the gratitude I have when I've been used by the
- 3:59Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to help somebody else. So that's probably about
- 4:03Speaker 1: as close as I get to, you know, dancing and
- 4:06Speaker 1: euphoric and jumping up and down that type of thing,
- 4:08Speaker 1: because I just I don't have that anymore. I don't
- 4:11Speaker 1: get that high, but I don't also get as low
- 4:12Speaker 1: as I used to get.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Would I'll say that you feel euphoria more for someone
- 4:18Speaker 4: else or for yourself, you know what I mean. I
- 4:22Speaker 4: don't know if.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I feel euphoric because I'm it's like you're talking about steel.
- 4:27Speaker 3: That was for you. That was a feeling you felt
- 4:30Speaker 3: because it's your child doing something exceptional. So but I
- 4:34Speaker 3: don't feel that for when Trump got elected, that was euphoria, Yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 3: that was it was relief for me.
- 4:42Speaker 4: Well, I think it the first time because nobody expected it,
- 4:45Speaker 4: because everybody, all the pundits is said, there's no way
- 4:48Speaker 4: that it was going to be Hillary I remember that
- 4:50Speaker 4: was euphoric, just absolutely and this time it was really.
- 4:53Speaker 3: We were together.
- 4:54Speaker 4: I still have it.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I have this video because I was we did not
- 4:57Speaker 3: know for sure, you know, if it was going to
- 4:58Speaker 3: happen or not, and so I had the video on
- 5:00Speaker 3: us the moment he was president, and it is the
- 5:05Speaker 3: we are screaming and jumping on the couch and hugging,
- 5:09Speaker 3: and I remember that was a absolutely pure euphoric.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Because we thought our country is saved.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Yes, And I was just like, all right.
- 5:19Speaker 1: That's good, okay. But but when he lost in twenty twenty,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I was like, that's a bummer.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Really, what has ever brought you euphoria?
- 5:28Speaker 1: Have you ever felt that it's it's I think it's
- 5:32Speaker 1: going to have been a long long time ago. And
- 5:36Speaker 1: it may be I mean, you know, maybe talk about
- 5:38Speaker 1: birth of kids or yeah, but even then there's other
- 5:41Speaker 1: things that that are involved with you, for it, as
- 5:44Speaker 1: as the dad. Then there's also not just that, but
- 5:47Speaker 1: also obligation and other things that get mixed in.
