TIME TO HAVE ONELEGUP OVER THE PENSIVE THOUGHTS IN 2026 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well all right, well here on the one like up network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Kind of proving my point today with the passing of
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Catherine O'Hara, America's mom.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. But I realized
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: something today.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: And I don't talk about my internal thoughts because I
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: always believe and talk about the news of the day,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: sports the day, adaptability stories. But in the midst of all.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: That, right now is the three years since going through
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the loss of.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: My dad, and it hit me today once again why
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid to move forward so since my dad's passing,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: whether it was opening up the new medical supplies or
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: literally having them sit up there for the last couple
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: of months since Christmas, it just hit me that I
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: not only procrastinate, but I try and stop time so
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: that the natural cycle life does not take anyone.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Else I love.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I guess there has this trauma now that I feel
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: like if I keep moving life forward, everything else will
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: naturally progress and more loss will happen, and maybe some
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: great things will happen too. But it's funny because on
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the day that I opened my medical supplies, Joni Pelzer
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and Ryan Pagano in the room of the year, I
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: say hello.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Hi, like a blex in.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: My room since Christmas. I was like, man, I haven't
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: opened these up for a reason. It's because every time
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you open something new up, it means life moves forward,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and I just want to stop time for a minute.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And I think today everybody is feeling that because we
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: did lose America's Mom Katherine O'Hara. I loved her in
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Home Alone, but I also loved her in Shit's Creek.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys, I loved her.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Invest in Show, I loved her in Waiting for Guffman.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I just love her. And Shit's Creak she just blew
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: me away.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Mean her role in Home and all those Home Alone films.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I mean that's not something that could be duplicated.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Then there it is.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: And then my family also really loved Shit s Freaked. Now, personally,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I never got the chance to really watch that series.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I've heard a lot of great things about it. My
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: family has watched it, and the one takeaway of many
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: that they've had is Catherine O.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Harris's role.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, she made an iconic.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: For what it is, and so it's just unbelievable because
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: my thought processing was, shoot, I'm I'm opening up these
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: medical supplies had open and then all of a sudden
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: this happens, proving the point that life is going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: move forward one way or the other, and I have
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to now have one leg up over the pensive nature
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: of this.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: You can't stop it from moving right and if you try.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Then it's worse.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, I left my medical supplies unopened for
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: a couple of months after Christmas, partly because I had enough,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: but also I think there is that like, oh my god,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: if I open this box now and means we're moving forward.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: You know what, Alex to add to that, I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: this is why so many of us have trouble cleaning
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: up and clearing out.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Our procrastinating exactly.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I have piles of old business cards and folders from
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: past clients to go through, and it's like, you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Don't want to lose that past.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: But yet if you don't get rid of that and
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: come to terms with that, if it's throwing it away
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: or giving it away or clothes, you don't do that,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: then how do you move forward?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: How do you make room for what's to come?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: You saw those three months up close because I was
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: dealing with my dad. I was dealing with radio, and I.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Came to your dad's funeral in New Jersey and it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Was a lot and used to become the more now
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: like ever since then, I'm kind of nervous to move
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: life forward because.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: My parents are older and you don't want to lose them, right,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And then you just start thinking deeper.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, but you know what you have to open up
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: to what's to come, because we don't have a choice.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And I always think if you move life forward, then
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: God's blessings are really right around the corner. It helps
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: me wake up every day is like, you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Know, God's got something around the corner for you.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Getting very deep lately every.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Day it feels like, well, because there's a lot of
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: changes in my own life which I might dispose at
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: some point.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But you're how old now?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Thirty through almost thirty five?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Almost thirty five? Wow? I gave you an extra year? Wow? Yeah?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Where was I at thirty five? Wow?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So like I could talk about the politics of Minnesota
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: or politics in New York, but sometimes I like to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: go into respective and you know, it's funny.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: We're now into year thirteen of.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: This podcast, starting February and as I'm trying to move
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: it forward, part of my brain is like stuck in
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: keeping time as is and maybe talking it out times.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: With your podcast?
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Is your podcast moving forward and accomplishing way? Oh?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Keeping time as is? In my own life? Is it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: moving me forward? That's the question I'm evaluating.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: There's the overall question.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So like as I open these medical supplies, haven't opened
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: or be.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Or not to be?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I love that Shakespeare.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I just saw Hamnet, by the way, see that movie.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I have to see it talks.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: About that in a way.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You have to see that, and so we can stop.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Father time is the point. So why not make the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: best of it? Why not have one like a not
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: over father time, but.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: With it, and also one like a over procrastination, over pensiveness,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: over fear of moving forward because life is going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: naturally move forward, and I have deduced that for the better.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Of my health. Yeah, opening that medical supply is going
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to keep me going like there is no doubt about that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a long term Well what if?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: What if?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: What if you think of it as not an end
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: but a beginning, and I need to get more circle
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: that's kind of completing in a new circle.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: This comes right hooked to it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: From January eight, twenty twenty three, till April fifteenth, actually
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: till May when my dad's memorial is that to me
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: is always a completed cycle because I live it over
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and over again. And I think that's why I'm afraid
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to like do little things to like move everything else forward, because.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It's shay though, isn't it Like when it's when we
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: talk about things.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Like this, it is actually so cliche. But when you really.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Start to really think about it for yourself, not like
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: what someone's reading or writing or telling you, but when
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: you start to really feel it and think it wow.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: And I feel like everyone I've seen, even on social media,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: is talking about what you just said right now in
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: their own ways.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And because the world's crazy, we don't know how the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: world's going to move forward either. Why, so it's like
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: do we how do we move forward in our own lives?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And also how is the world going to move forward?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: There's so many For the first time, I think we're
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: all on the same level of there's so many unknowns
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: that yeah, it's frickin daunting to deal with those unknowns.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: It is all right, but we're all going to agree
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: to move forward.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I think I had to talk about this study.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Your listeners on your next podcast. What action did you take?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: One action? Just one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: It could have been throwing something out, It could have
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: been making a complete phone call to someone to like
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: complete something with them.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that one just do one small thing.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And we can't be afraid of the natural cycle. That's
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: what it is, and so we have to just flow
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: with it. And also one other thing I will say
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: is and I think part of that moving forward is
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: actually just getting closer back to home and then branching
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: out back on my own.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's where it has to be. But as
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we hit years, if you're one.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Leg not maybe up, but maybe down.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: And grounded and grounded, Yes, so maybe talking about one
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: leg up, maybe it's one leg down for right now.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: For right now, it's planted and just re establishing myself.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: That's for suunding, and then you know, at the same
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: time up the numbers. I now have fifty four thousand
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: downloads over twelve years, which is pretty damn cool. Heading
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: into year at thirteen, maybe lucky thirteen. That's that's what
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going for a year, but bigger and better, Alex.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: If I can get over the pensiveness in my own
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: personal feelings, life will flow much better. And so in
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: that sense, I do want to have one leg up
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: over the pensive.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think we all should.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I think we all should just stop being so afraid
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: of what we don't know and just embrace what we know. Now,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that's what it is, and that's all I gotta say.
• 9:18

• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Ryan Piggano.

• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Loss of Catherine O'Hara, a legend, and just embracing that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: part of the natural cycle, one day at a time.
• 9:31
