It means that I was prideful and I had an event that brought me down to earth.

that were hidden. So when you eat humble pie, you're brought down to earth by losing some teeth. Did you know that?

I'm definitely never saying this again.

I'm going to guess it has something to do with mistaking words.

There is a story, one I heard for the first time a long time ago, but many times in many different forms since. And I'm going to share it in its full state, as full a state as I can remember, as a wee gift for those who are married and sometimes need to be taken down a peg or two. In a small, picaresque town... there lived a well-respected preacher named John.

Reverend John was known for his passionate sermons and his unwavering dedication to his congregation. He had been preaching for over 20 years, and he took great pride in his work. His wife, Mary, was his steadfast companion, brilliant and beautiful, and always supporting him from her perch in the frontmost pew.

One sunny afternoon while cleaning out the attic, Reverend John stumbled upon an old dusty shoebox tucked away in a corner. Curiosity peaked. He opened the box and was surprised to find five eggs and a stack of bills totaling over $10,000. Confused and intrigued, he decided to ask Mary about it. Mary, I found this shoebox in the attic. It has five eggs and a lot of money in it.

Do you know anything about that? He asked, holding up the box. Mary's face turned a shade of pink, and she hesitated before responding. Yes, John, I do. You see, every time you preach a bad sermon, I put an egg in the box. Reverend John was taken aback a bit. He'd always believed he was an exceptional preacher. But then he thought, five bad sermons in over 20 years wasn't so bad.

He felt a sense of pride wash over him. Only five bad sermons in all these years. That's not too bad, he thought, smiling to himself. His wife continued as if she hadn't noticed his silent preening. And every time I collected a dozen eggs, I sold them and tossed the money right in that box. Want to share your love without the baggage of judgy lessons and fiscal responsibility?

I think I would rather you define it for me because I have a feeling I might try and give you an example and it'll be wrong. Okay. I'll be like, I'll do a full Linus Morissette. Like, it's not ironic.

Why are your eyes bleeding? I because I don't know how to I don't know how to do. I don't know how to do stuff. Right. Look, the thing I it is you've tapped into an anxiety for me, which is how do I share the work that I'm proud of and not sound like a dick?

That I worry that I am doing this all the time. So as you talk about it, I'm like, ugh. And here's why. This is a big why. Because, you know, as we've talked about, this is me about to humble brag. I'm going to do it right now. I don't know how to do it any other way. I just, with my co-host of the ADHD podcast, we just wrote a book. We wrote a book together. We worked very hard together.

And we wrote a book and it was hard. And that book is being published. And the publisher has told us that the book is coming out on September 4th. Pre-orders are available now. Yeah, if you're into ADHD, if you're like a real fan of ADHD, you should go get this book. It's Unapologetically ADHD. It's in Amazon. You should go get it.

The thing is, I'm about to have to start learning how to promote this book in a way that people need to buy it. And also, I'm terrible at that largely. And I wish I didn't have to do it. I wish it could just like I wish there was a Patreon for my life and people could just throw me a buck for everything I do. And I would never have to ask for any value exchange at all because I hate it so much.

So that's where I am. And that's why this gives me heartburn.

I dodged a bullet.

That's a humble brag. So I'm calling them out as I see them.

Humble brag. Okay. You get it? Really? I mean, I get it. But also, I have watched a lot of Leon Gritch, and he's a pretty grounded guy.
