Full Episode
Welcome America. What is it? The blue, the blue wing talk, blue wing talk, blue wing talk. Yes. The blue wing talk pumps.
What have you had it with? Okay. What I've had it with is high expectations. I've decided, you know, that the saying, the cliche is comparison is the thief of joy. I think high expectations are the thief of joy. And I look back at my life. Anybody I had really high expectations for? disappointed. 10 out of 10. So my new, I'm going to start my new year's resolution right now before the new year.
And it's going to be expect the worst from all people in every situation always. So I can't be disappointed. So I'm, I'm done with high expectations. I'm It will soften my disappointment in the human race. And I really think I'm going to be good at it because I borderline am super cynical. That's just the next step I need to take it over to a complete cynical bitch. So I'm close.
So this is a goal I think I can absolutely handle.
You know what mystifies me so much about this? What? Is that you just now figured this out.
Jennifer, I'm slow to the party in a lot of things. You would have thought after my marriage. That's what I'm thinking. High expectations would have been a thing of the past. That it wouldn't even be something that I even considered ever. Yeah. But during COVID, I watched Hallmark movies because I wanted a happy ending. Something is wrong with me. I'm the problem.
I stopped having expectations a long, long time ago. And it's completely liberating. It's just I just now I just assume when I start the day that nobody is going to exceed my expectations. The only person who ever did was Javi. He used to work for us. I mean, he exceeded expectations. He was like a smartphone. He was intuitive. He figured out what needed to be done.
He absolutely did. You say exceed expectations. I'm taking it another notch. Whatever my expectations are, they're not even going to be met. They're going to be so low.
That's where I've been for quite some time. So you're saying start at the bottom of the barrel. After the rehab stints that Josh went through, five listener... I just removed expectations and I realized this is the way to go. To just have zero expectations because human beings are breathtakingly disappointing. Yeah, they are. They will disappoint you. Every time.
