Transcript
- 0:00Speaker1: Hi, everyone. It's me, Gary, here alongside my great co-host,
- 0:04Speaker1: Jennifer Miller, and welcome back again to the Eye Opener Society.
- 0:07Speaker1: This is our, I don't know, our New Year's episode.
- 0:11Speaker1: Most of you are all waking up and probably tuning in, which we really appreciate.
- 0:17Speaker1: It's been kind of a shit show of a year, another dumpster fire.
- 0:23Speaker1: I don't know what's really been going on. It started off pretty well,
- 0:26Speaker1: and then it just kind of gone downhill, especially towards the end here.
- 0:31Speaker1: I'm still kind of in limbo as far as my wife and I, as far as where we're going
- 0:35Speaker1: to live and stuff like that.
- 0:37Speaker1: I mean, we have some good prospects, but everything's still not written in stone as of yet.
- 0:43Speaker1: So hopefully this week I'll have some good news on that.
- 0:45Speaker1: I just want to say that there's probably many of you out there that are going
- 0:49Speaker1: through similar struggles or struggles that are completely different,
- 0:53Speaker1: and you may not know what way to turn.
- 0:55Speaker1: And that's just the way it goes. But I do want everybody to hang on,
- 1:01Speaker1: to remain strong, and to keep pushing forward because in the end,
- 1:07Speaker1: it's only going to work out according to your positivity.
- 1:11Speaker1: I've been keeping my positivity high and it's actually helped me.
- 1:15Speaker1: It's just these here rollercoaster of emotions. It's just basically exhaustion
- 1:20Speaker1: right now, but keep it alive.
- 1:21Speaker1: Keep your spirit alive don't let anything get you down i
- 1:25Speaker1: think that's just what i'm going to tell you know everybody here at the audience
- 1:29Speaker1: for this new year i do want to say too that as far as resolutions i never really
- 1:35Speaker1: stick to these kind of traditions but this year i'm going to change the world
- 1:38Speaker1: one person at a time because one thing i realized
- 1:43Speaker1: Everything is our fault. It's as simple as that. We allow everything to happen.
- 1:48Speaker1: We allow everything that goes on to happen because we allow when things are
- 1:53Speaker1: bad, when things aren't going well, we never change it.
- 1:56Speaker1: We just let them keep going on and on. So everything's our fault.
- 2:00Speaker1: I would like to just change that one person at a time.
- 2:04Speaker1: Everybody I meet, I'm going to remain positive. And if they are negative,
- 2:09Speaker1: I want to figure out what it is that's negative and how to change it into a
- 2:12Speaker1: positive. So that's what I want to do this year.
- 2:14Speaker1: That's my new year's resolution And i'm going to turn things over now to my
- 2:18Speaker1: buddy here jennifer mill who's been a major inspiration So far.
- 2:22Speaker1: Thank you Honestly, you have been and I appreciate and going into the new year
- 2:26Speaker1: You and I are going to have a lot of big things going on too So I don't know
- 2:30Speaker1: whatever it is you want to say about the new year jennifer. Go ahead. Take it away
- 2:33Speaker0: I don't really have any new year's resolutions or any, you know Thing on it.
- 2:38Speaker0: I think if you have goals that you want to meet I say do them
- 2:41Speaker0: when you think of them i don't i don't wait till the end of the
- 2:44Speaker0: year i mean i know a lot of people do because it
- 2:47Speaker0: helps with structure and and you know just the beginning of
- 2:49Speaker0: the year like how everyone says well i'll start my diet
- 2:52Speaker0: next month beginning of the month just because it's like
- 2:56Speaker0: structured it's it's kind of like a plan me i'm
- 2:59Speaker0: just like if you feel like doing it right then and there do it
- 3:02Speaker0: start working on it um i will
- 3:05Speaker0: say we're a superstitious bunch though because we don't
- 3:08Speaker0: clean the day of new year's um you don't clean you don't wash away the good
- 3:13Speaker0: luck you don't vacuum up the good luck um you don't touch anybody with a broom
- 3:18Speaker0: so the muskers will get you um and then um i don't i really just don't have any goals i mean,
- 3:27Speaker0: i'm pretty satisfied but i do have to say this year has been a dumpster fire it really has just.
- 3:34Speaker1: I mean, all in general,
- 3:35Speaker0: Like if I had to think of a dumpster fire, I think 2024 would be that number
- 3:40Speaker0: right there on fire burning with me holding a marshmallow and a beer, you know,
- 3:47Speaker0: that's about it. I don't have anything really.
- 3:51Speaker1: You know. Yeah, I get you. It's it's same with me.
- 3:54Speaker1: It's like I said, I'm just going into a new year with a whole new outlook and
- 3:57Speaker1: I'm going to try and change things a little bit because, yeah,
- 4:00Speaker1: there's been a lot of anger.
- 4:01Speaker1: There's been a lot of hatred and
- 4:03Speaker1: that's not what I'm about. I like to be positive. I like to be energetic.
- 4:06Speaker1: And I want to just spread that out to the world.
- 4:09Speaker1: But again, first, I'm just going to do a bunch of shout outs here because there's
- 4:13Speaker1: been a lot of people that helped out through this year as far as the podcast
- 4:16Speaker1: is concerned, as well as in personal life.
- 4:19Speaker1: And one of them top right here, Jennifer Miller, you have been a major inspiration.
- 4:24Speaker1: It's been nice that you took over and been able to jump in with zero experience
- 4:29Speaker1: and you're still rocking it. So that's really good.
- 4:32Speaker0: But i mean yeah i'm happy with that yeah that's cool i mean yeah zero experience
- 4:37Speaker0: i mean i'm even nervous now like i'm always nervous when i so like if you guys
- 4:42Speaker0: think i'm just an antsy person and just kind of annoying no it's just me being
- 4:46Speaker0: nervous give me some time maybe i'll go out of the shell yeah.
- 4:51Speaker1: And you know we're totally used to that here too because when hannah was sitting
- 4:54Speaker1: in your seat at the extreme anxiety that she suffered from like i would feel
- 4:59Speaker1: it it would actually affect me and my podcasting voice too as well.
- 5:02Speaker1: So used to it. Don't worry about it. You're doing a bang up job,
- 5:05Speaker1: man. You really are. I love everything that you bring into the table.
