Change Is Hard · Nick and Kristen in the Podcast

  Hello and welcome to Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
• 0:14
  I'm Nick. That's Kristen, and this is the
• 0:18
  podcast. This is where the titles would
• 0:21
  play. Exactly.
• 0:22
  Yes, Going the news route today. I like it, though better more
• 0:26
  succinctly than the original sputter out that we normally.
• 0:29
  Get from you I. Don't know what I don't know.
• 0:32
  And then we'd like, you know, we were married and they got a kid.
• 0:34
  We you don't have to. Explain this.
• 0:36
  I know. So Krista made the the the made
• 0:41
  it apparent that she wants to start advertising the show now,
• 0:44
  so she's ready to grow the podcast.
• 0:47
  Well, I mean, if I'm going to do this, can we do something with
• 0:50
  it? Because it's like, I, I wanted
• 0:53
  to, I like the things that I do to be successful.
• 0:56
  I I know you're happy just talking into the ether, but I
• 1:00
  would like to maybe talk to more people and see if they also are
• 1:04
  interested in learning about two randos.
• 1:07
  When we started this, it was very much just to keep in touch
• 1:10
  with everyone that listened to the show before.
• 1:13
  And it's like, oh, you know, a month, six weeks, we'll be back
• 1:17
  on the air and we can just kind of, you know, push this aside.
• 1:21
  It was also kind of like, hey, future radio stations, like
• 1:24
  here's a snippet of what you could get.
• 1:26
  But the radio industry is not looking for anyone at the
• 1:30
  moment. And so this doesn't feel like a
• 1:33
  audition anymore. It just feels like something we
• 1:35
  do. And if that's going to be
• 1:36
  something we do, then let's make it successful.
• 1:39
  Let's put some advertising money behind it or something.
• 1:42
  Yeah. So we're shifting gears and
• 1:44
  we're going that way. So now that we have a sponsor,
• 1:46
  we're going to use that that sponsor money to advertise.
• 1:49
  Our podcast now, don't think it's going to get any better.
• 1:52
  I no it's. Like keep those expectations
• 1:54
  like hello. There may be some changes
• 1:57
  coming, possibly a set change. As we look at all the podcasts
• 2:02
  that we see, all the successful ones don't talk to the camera.
• 2:06
  Yeah, would it? Be weird to like, just talk to
• 2:10
  like if I just talked to you because I'm actually like
• 2:12
  looking at yeah. If I looked at you it would look
• 2:14
  weird on camera, so I'm. Gonna look over.
• 2:15
  I'm gonna look at the printer over here and now it looks like
• 2:17
  I'm looking at you, but I'm not. We're just having like a wedding
• 2:20
  conference, like, Oh yeah. Then this one guy, yeah, shot
• 2:23
  over there then. Yeah, like, so funny, right?
• 2:25
  I don't know, it feels weird. Feels weird, but I mean you
• 2:28
  could weigh in on the comments if you want.
• 2:30
  I know Randy will. Randy comments.
• 2:31
  Everything the best. And so my change the format a
• 2:34
  little bit and then we have to dial in what it is that we're.
• 2:37
  Talking a little more niche. Instead of us just being Nick
• 2:39
  and Kristen from the radio, now we have to be two independent
• 2:43
  entertainers that are focused on entertaining people that aren't
• 2:45
  you. Exactly so.
• 2:47
  Got to find something to talk about, but what do we have
• 2:49
  today? Well, today I'm glad you asked
• 2:52
  Godzilla. El Nino is.
• 2:53
  Coming is that. So first it was El Nino, then it
• 2:56
  was Super El Nino, and now they're like, this is the
• 2:59
  Godzilla of El. Nino, how is how is that
• 3:01
  record-breaking? It's.
• 3:03
  Not this is just people in. Paris, OK.
• 3:05
  It's a record-breaking El Nino that some guy on the news said
• 3:09
  Godzilla of El Nino. And it's it's going to be a
• 3:12
  doozy up until 2027. The waters are very warm in
• 3:15
  Peru, which is not cold. It sounds cold.
• 3:18
  Yeah, I'm knocking on the the waters.
• 3:21
  Waters are very warm in Peru. Oh yeah, you can come in those.
• 3:27
  Poor Peruvians. And so that's going to lead to
• 3:29
  massive flooding there, massive flooding in the West Coast
• 3:31
  United. States everything's fine
• 3:32
  because. They believe the Pacific
• 3:33
  Northwest, everything's good. It'll lead to droughts in
• 3:36
  Australia and Africa and all these other fun things, big
• 3:40
  storms, you know, good. Times.
• 3:42
  Why shouldn't this? Happen.
• 3:43
  Why shouldn't this? Happen.
• 3:44
  Why shouldn't have this happen now?
• 3:45
  They're saying it can have an even more global effect than the
• 3:49
  oil thing that's been happening. And so, yeah, you know.
• 3:54
  Why not? I'm tired.
• 3:57
  I'm tired of the everything else.
• 3:59
  Can I just say that I'm just like, I already got a lot going
• 4:02
  on personally, but the everything else is really the
• 4:05
  whipped cream and cherries on my my crap sundae.
• 4:08
  Yeah. I am a man that has spent my
• 4:10
  life just kind of caring about this this much space like this
• 4:14
  is where I'm like, hey, it doesn't affect me, doesn't care.
• 4:17
  And so and now, and now that it's it's forced upon me to not
• 4:21
  start caring outside of my bubble.
• 4:23
  I don't like it. Making me mad, I know.
• 4:26
  But so expect that that's going to be fun.
• 4:29
  Yeah, so is that rain? November, December, January,
• 4:32
  rain and just whatever that season is like.
• 4:35
  Elevated. I'm just going to assume that
• 4:37
  it's going to help me find more agates because you're supposed
• 4:39
  to look after rain storms, so I'm going to try to spin this as
• 4:43
  a pause. Hey that works for me.
• 4:44
  Let's go agate hunting after this.
• 4:47
  I worked out today for the. First time.
• 4:48
  So yeah, you said you dropped that subtly in a conversation
• 4:50
  and they didn't say anything. I know.
• 4:52
  And I was like. I was hating myself very much
• 4:56
  for the last week or two or, you know, 10 years and, and then I,
• 5:00
  I, I watched something on TikTok today that was, I've seen 20
• 5:04
  times and I was like, yeah, today's the day.
• 5:08
  Why am I, why am I just sitting here on my butt doing nothing?
• 5:11
  Time to get up and get get things done today.
• 5:13
  And so I did. It worked out.
• 5:15
  Well, what was the thing on TikTok that made you inspired
• 5:18
  you? Maybe it will inspire all of.
• 5:19
  Us well. Let me see.
• 5:20
  No, you don't have to show it to me.
• 5:22
  Just summarize. This.
• 5:22
  I'll add it. Here.
• 5:24
  Wow, that was an amazing video that I saw for the very first
• 5:27
  time. That would inspire me too.
• 5:30
  I haven't added My favorite part was the middle bit.
• 5:34
  We're recording this and I haven't seen the video yet.
• 5:36
  He's overlaying this later tonight.
• 5:39
  I'm gonna. What if all of your negative
• 5:41
  relatives turn positive? What would that do for your
• 5:43
  future and your fortune? What?
• 5:46
  Not much. What if prices came down a
• 5:50
  little? What'll that do for your future?
• 5:51
  Tons. I'm telling you, not much.
• 5:54
  No, it would. If the economy gets a little
• 5:55
  better. What'll that do?
• 5:56
  It would help very. Much, not much.
• 5:58
  No, it would help a lot, yeah, but I'm my whole world.
• 6:01
  I know, but it doesn't do anything for you and so
• 6:03
  basically. No, it does though, like.
• 6:05
  Find the things that do something for you and do those
• 6:08
  things like don't worry about all the other.
• 6:10
  It was, I don't know. Yeah, it's 8 minutes long.
• 6:12
  Do you like? I understand, but you
• 6:14
  understand. The failed don't get No, it's
• 6:16
  not because you didn't watch the whole thing.
• 6:17
  No, but like, OK, what the the thing that I can do is I can
• 6:21
  donate a ton of money to my 4-O1K.
• 6:23
  That's something that I can do to help the future.
• 6:25
  Yeah, Yeah. But.
• 6:26
  How are you going to get? Money.
• 6:27
  Well, no, I mean, I work, yeah, but like I'm just saying.
• 6:29
  And then the economy tanks and I lose everything.
• 6:32
  How? What is, How does that affect
• 6:34
  me? Very much, Very much, very much,
• 6:37
  but not much. No, no, like, like tremendous.
• 6:39
  Only when the recession hits. Yes, I know, but like.
• 6:42
  But if you invested in something that didn't go down, it's very
• 6:45
  it's very motivational isn't to what to get you off your butt to
• 6:49
  do. Something.
• 6:50
  OK, well, it's motivating. Your future for you SO.
• 6:53
  I understand. Sure, whatever.
• 6:54
  OK, so it it so you. Expect too much from some dude
• 6:57
  giving a speech. I'm just expect a lot.
• 6:59
  It's like, well, I need you to invest in these four things.
• 7:01
  No, no, I'm I'm. I'm using this as an example,
• 7:04
  right? Like you can, you can make light
• 7:08
  of anything, but it has rippling ramifications.
• 7:13
  You know what I mean? Like somebody that goes to a bar
• 7:16
  and has one drink too many and they go, how much is this going
• 7:18
  to affect me? Not much, but then they get into
• 7:21
  a car and then they kill somebody.
• 7:22
  Like how much does that affect you?
• 7:24
  Very much that's. Not on the not much list.
• 7:27
  I know it like you can't live your life.
• 7:29
  Like that, no, he's not saying make everything not much.
• 7:32
  He's saying focus on the things that you can do, yes.
• 7:35
  Focus on what? You can control and then do
• 7:37
  those things. Yes, but I think.
• 7:38
  They're just as easy to do as they are.
• 7:41
  Easy to then say that. Don't say that.
• 7:43
  Nothing needed. To watch the stupid video first,
• 7:45
  I haven't watched it in a minute so either way it got me up to go
• 7:48
  do. Something congratulations you
• 7:49
  worked out today that was something you could control and
• 7:51
  you did it. And how did you feel?
• 7:53
  What it? First of all, what did you do to
• 7:54
  workout? Well, I did the It's a Total
• 7:56
  Body workout on YouTube. Oh yeah, I love him.
• 7:57
  It's good times. Yeah, it's 30 minutes.
• 8:00
  And. And immediately my my bones were
• 8:02
  like screaming, yeah. My body was like, hell no.
• 8:05
  And I was like, Oh my God. I didn't realize I was so far
• 8:08
  gone. And then because of that, I was
• 8:10
  motivated to keep going. That's good.
• 8:12
  So like there was grunting today.
• 8:14
  I never grunt when I work out, so.
• 8:18
  But, you know, I felt, you know, wobbly afterwards, but I felt
• 8:21
  good, Good. I'm.
• 8:21
  Glad for you. I'm happy I did it.
• 8:23
  Yeah, I will try again to do it tomorrow because it's easy.
• 8:27
  How about it's? Something I can do?
• 8:28
  Yes, but like again, like when I was talking about expectations
• 8:33
  being lower, like lower the bar just a little bit because what
• 8:37
  you're doing is now you're going to be like everyday I'm going to
• 8:39
  work out. That's not sustainable.
• 8:41
  How about you worked out once this week and that's awesome.
• 8:45
  How about next week you can work out twice a week?
• 8:47
  Like no, Because This is why you.
• 8:49
  Burn out. Because then you're like, oh, I
• 8:51
  missed Wednesday. I give up completely.
• 8:53
  No, that's. How you feel?
• 8:54
  I'm not. I'm not taking it that way.
• 8:56
  I'm doing, I'm doing it when I can and I have a lot of time
• 9:00
  right now. So it's, it's me sitting here
• 9:04
  and going, I can play on my phone for 20 minutes.
• 9:06
  I can go work out. And so instead of sitting here
• 9:08
  doing nothing, I'm going to work out.
• 9:10
  If I have things to do, then I'll, I'll not work out.
• 9:12
  But like I'm not holding myself to a standard to do it every
• 9:15
  day, but I'm going to try and do it when I can't.
• 9:18
  So, okay. Because it's easy to do, yes,
• 9:22
  and I can do it, sure. But it's also easy to not do, so
• 9:24
  I've got to not not do. It yes, but I just think there
• 9:28
  needs to be some self like acceptance right of like hey,
• 9:33
  I'm not training for an Iron Man competition.
• 9:36
  It's not that. Kind of workout.
• 9:37
  It's OK if I do it twice this week and maybe try to do a third
• 9:42
  next week. Like don't.
• 9:44
  That's OK, But then on Friday you're.
• 9:46
  Like I'm so sore, I'm not going to do it at all.
• 9:48
  And then a week's going to go by and you'll be like, oh, I'm out
• 9:50
  of it now. It's not OK for me because if I
• 9:52
  do it today and I don't do it for a week, then I won't do it
• 9:54
  again. So I either now I have to, I
• 9:57
  have to do it every day because if I skip a day then it's like,
• 10:00
  Oh well I guess I can skip a day and be fine.
• 10:02
  Then it turns into oh I might as well skip 2 days so.
• 10:04
  I want to I want a screenshot or I want we're recording this
• 10:09
  obviously. So I would like to play this
• 10:11
  back in a week. OK, so next Monday we're going
• 10:14
  to play a clip of this this podcast and we'll see where we
• 10:18
  are. Let's see, should I write that
• 10:19
  down or you can remember? That no, you can just write it
• 10:21
  down. OK, yes I will do my best OK to
• 10:24
  work out this week and I'm trying to make better eating
• 10:29
  decisions. Yeah, you had a bagel for
• 10:31
  dinner. I.
• 10:32
  Had a bagel for dinner. That's all I had to eat so I
• 10:35
  could have. Where was my dinner because I
• 10:36
  came home and there was 0 food. In the house, I got to start you
• 10:39
  with a cake. And I'm starving.
• 10:41
  And I don't know what you want. So like anything, anything to
• 10:45
  eat. Well, you don't like Turkey
• 10:46
  sandwiches? That's what we got in the house.
• 10:47
  Yeah. OK.
• 10:48
  I didn't have another bagel or I would have made you a bagel.
• 10:51
  We don't. Really.
• 10:51
  Have bread. I made myself some pasta.
• 10:53
  There was that. So there's pasta.
• 10:55
  So I don't know if you want a boss.
• 10:56
  So now I have to take your order because I don't talk to you.
• 10:58
  All day I know just a simple like hey didn't make anything.
• 11:03
  You can grab something on the way home.
• 11:04
  Would help so I don't walk in and go.
• 11:09
  Oh, now I have to have dinner ready for you when you get home.
• 11:12
  Necessarily have to have dinner ready for me, but I'd like there
• 11:14
  to be some communication because I just.
• 11:17
  I'm going to assume that dinner was.
• 11:18
  I looked at, well, I made her dinner and then I looked at my
• 11:21
  options and I went, well, I don't want pasta.
• 11:23
  I'm trying to get better today. And I was like, well, there's a
• 11:25
  bagel. Was there any thought process to
• 11:27
  me? Yes, and it was very much like,
• 11:29
  I don't know what she wants. I didn't thaw anything.
• 11:33
  If she wants something when she gets home, she can have pasta.
• 11:36
  And then the time got away from me and you came home.
• 11:39
  So I was busy with the kid. Sure.
• 11:42
  Playing Making a lizard. Yeah, I know you guys made key
• 11:45
  chains, made a lizard. That's cool.
• 11:47
  Yeah, it's kinda cool. So, oh, I thought we were going
• 11:50
  to have time for this. We don't have any time for this.
• 11:51
  We've talked too much about me motivating myself.
• 11:54
  And so we're going to say goodbye after we tell you about
• 11:57
  the Clark County Trash Pandas. They are the sponsor for the
• 11:59
  show and they're going to be the now way we advertised the show.
• 12:03
  So the Clark County Trash Pandas are a slam dunk for Clark County
• 12:07
  basketball fans, bringing professional basketball, family
• 12:09
  friendly entertainment and a commitment to the community we
• 12:11
  call home. Nice.
• 12:13
  Didn't you play basketball? I did in high school.
• 12:15
  What position were you? In I have no idea.
• 12:17
  I was so bad. I have no idea.
• 12:19
  Well, I and to be fair, like I don't think it was entirely my
• 12:22
  fault. I don't think we had a really
• 12:23
  good coach. Doesn't.
• 12:24
  Seem like if you didn't. Really explain anything?
• 12:26
  It's just like, yeah, yeah, I was a freshman and like, I mean,
• 12:31
  maybe they explained something, but there was no yeah, like we
• 12:34
  lost every. Single game.
• 12:36
  Yeah, like it kind of felt like that.
• 12:38
  Like it felt like everybody knew how to play basketball except
• 12:41
  for me. And like nobody told me the
• 12:43
  rules. Like I felt like I was.
• 12:45
  Like, did you ever played before that?
• 12:47
  No, I like on a whim I tried out 'cause my friend tried out and I
• 12:50
  was like, oh, I'll try out too just for funsies.
• 12:52
  And they immediately were like, you're tall, come on the team.
• 12:55
  And I was like, well, this is something new for me to try.
• 12:57
  Like I'll try it for a year or whatever.
• 12:59
  And then like, it got frustrating because it's like
• 13:01
  we, I didn't like know the game. Like no one ever explained
• 13:04
  anything. We didn't have plays like.
• 13:07
  You get a bad coach. Yeah, like, and it was very much
• 13:09
  like, what are we doing? And like, I kept fouling out and
• 13:13
  like, at some point, like, I was always like, kicked out of the
• 13:15
  game near the end of the game. So like, why are you fouling
• 13:18
  people? Well, I didn't know what a foul
• 13:20
  was. Don't hunt anybody.
• 13:21
  Yeah, I know. But like I would like bump them
• 13:23
  and they'd be like and I'd be like, well, I didn't, I didn't
• 13:25
  know I couldn't do that. Like you can't like back up into
• 13:28
  like did. Everybody else foul out too, or
• 13:30
  just you? No, I mean, I think everybody
• 13:32
  had like issues, but I mean I was, I was the tall one, I
• 13:34
  think. And I was just like, I just try
• 13:37
  to make a basket. But like, again, like we just
• 13:39
  got our our butts handed to us every game.
• 13:42
  And it was really demoralizing because I'm like, why are we so
• 13:44
  bad? Like why are we not practicing?
• 13:47
  Did you practice? Yeah.
• 13:48
  Did you practice before the games like?
• 13:50
  Do we run drills? Like you pass to her and then
• 13:54
  she passes to you and all that kind of stuff?
• 13:55
  It's like, great, but like, that's not a play.
• 13:57
  That's not a play, but I I mean you should know how to.
• 14:00
  It was just a free for all. Every time we went on to the
• 14:03
  court, it was just like, we'll just take get the the basket,
• 14:05
  you know, just get the ball and make a basket.
• 14:07
  Yeah. It's like, well, yeah, but like,
• 14:09
  like how though? Like.
• 14:10
  Did you practice making baskets? I I'm sure we did, you know, I'm
• 14:13
  sure that was a majority of our thing.
• 14:15
  But again, it was just like, I don't know the rules.
• 14:17
  Yeah, that. Should be like.
• 14:19
  Should be something they teach. It was very confusing or maybe I
• 14:21
  just like was not invested. Yeah, either you're you to
• 14:24
  explain it and you were like whoosh or you.
• 14:26
