In the latest episode of the podcast titled How To Instantly Feel Better, hosts Amy Brown and Kat Vanburen explore lighthearted yet effective strategies inspired by neuroscience to enhance emotional wellbeing and tackle daily frustrations.
Overview of Main Topics
This engaging episode covers:
- A quirky hair care trend known as the "toothbrush on scalp"
- Practical tips on how to feel better instantly, based on insights from neuroscientist TJ Power
- Elements of attraction and how they relate to perception in relationships

Instant Mood Boosting Techniques
The episode presents 10 actionable strategies for various emotional states:
- When Angry: Sing. It activates brain regions that help in managing emotions.
- Feeling Burned Out: Walk to clear your mind and boost energy levels.
- Overthinking: Write. Journaling can relieve mental clutter and bring clarity.
- Anxiety: Breathe deeply using techniques like 4-4-4 breathing (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds).
- Stressed: Exercise; even a quick workout gets the endorphins pumping.

Embracing Your Quirks in Relationships
The hosts discuss the idea that true attraction is built not just on shared interests but also on appreciating each other's unique traits. According to philosopher Alain de Botton:
- Being "crazy" often becomes a point of connection if revealed early in relationships. It encourages openness and understanding, allowing partners to support each other's quirks. They encourage listeners to openly discuss their eccentric traits to foster deeper connections from the onset.
Light-hearted Trends
In a lighter vein, they delve into social media trends such as the "toothbrush on scalp" hair care hack, which serves as an inviting conversation starter. They describe the technique as using a toothbrush to scrub the scalp during hair washing, aiming to exfoliate and improve hair growth. While they laugh about the oddity of the trend, it showcases the hosts’ willingness to explore unconventional self-care practices.
Final Thoughts
As the episode winds down, Amy and Kat emphasize the necessary balance between laughter and serious moments in life. They reflect on personal stories and experiences, punctuating their discussions with humor and relatable anecdotes. The essential takeaway is that everyone has the supremely human ability to feel better instantly by engaging in simple, yet impactful practices.
Closing Encouragement
The hosts leave their audience with reminders to:
- Be Yourself: Accept your quirks and the things that make you different.
- Laugh it Off: Use humor to navigate frustrations and emotional struggles.
- Engage in Fun Activities: Whether it’s singing, dancing, or even a bit of journaling, let joy lead the way.
This episode blends insightful advice with light-hearted banter, encouraging listeners to embrace their emotions while finding joy in the quirks of everyday life. Happy listening!

Happy Tuesday. Welcome to the fifth thing. I'm Amy and I'm Kat and I wasn't recording a minute ago and Kat and I basically did the entire episode. Happy Tuesday to us and you.
Wherever you are. I'm not sure that we were. It's so ironic too because this episode is literally titled, How to Instantly Feel Better, because that's the theme. And right now I had to instantly feel better. So I took one of the tips that we just talked about in the episode we just recorded slash didn't record. And tip number one was sing. When you're angry. I don't think you're angry. Well, kind of angry.
Kind of just angry at myself, yes. I'm not angry at the world, but I was definitely angry at myself and you have every right to be angry at me. I just wasted your time. I don't feel anger towards you. I feel like that is something that happens not often, but I feel like I've done that before. Oh, yeah. I've done it before with a guest and I was mortified and it was pretty horrible. I don't know why I just did it with you. Because we were messing with the volume and usually you record, you press and then we do that.
I thought we were having a volume issue and I'm like, cat, look, there's a volume issue. And she said, no, looks pretty right on. And then I got fixated on the fact that I still thought there was an issue. And then there wasn't. So then I was like, all right, happy Tuesday. Welcome to the fifth thing. I'm Amy and I'm Kat. And then we had an issue and then we
did that whole thing, including lots of stuff that we wanted to talk about, slash it didn't plan on talking about, but I liked some of it. So now we need to somehow organically work it in like we did last time, which is so hard, but we'll just have to see how it goes. Like, I don't really know what's going to happen. So we'll start with the quote. Okay. This from the Elroyo sign, which we love to pull from for quotes from time to time because they are funny.
It's a too young to retire too old to learn TikTok and like ain't that the truth? Even though you have TikTok and I have TikTok. I have TikTok. We just aren't. I watch it a lot. Yeah. And sometimes I post to it, but I'm not a TikTok content creator. I don't put myself in that category. I will post, yes.
But I think people that are on there regularly and giving us all the good stuff, like these people that want to do deep dives into everything that's going on in the world and then feed it to me in a TikTok. Thank you. Yeah, very much appreciate it. I could not do because the videos that look like are really easy to make and are easy to consume probably are so difficult to make.
Some people have put a ton of research and time and energy into this tiny little TikTok to help me understand what's going on. And speaking of TikTok, I came across a tip for your scalp and it's that you wash your scalp with a toothbrush and I just wanted to know if you've ever done that before. But I asked you this earlier and I know that the answer is no. So now this doesn't feel organic.
But go ahead, tell me, have you ever washed your scalp with a toothbrush? I have not, and I think you should clarify, because this was confusing when you told it to me. Well, that's why we're re-recording. Yes. You're doing this in the shower with shampoo. Yes.
You're not doing it with toothpaste. Why wasn't thinking that? But at first I just thought it was like scratching your scalp with a toothbrush. Okay, so it's not like dry brushing. It is you're in the shower, shampooing your hair, and about once a week, you get in there good into the scalp. You get in there good. With a toothbrush.
Probably not the one that you brush your teeth with a different one. I'm assuming soft bristles may be medium and apparently it helps exfoliate the scalp area. It removes excess oils and purities and this one girl was swimming by it just like I do it once a week and it's so great.
My dog didn't bark in the last episode. Nope. No, she didn't. Nope. But there she is. Maybe we needed that. Cara's like, uh-uh, girl's not gonna get in an episode without hearing from me. So I'm curious about the toothbrush thing, if that would help, because I know before you said that the girl that does her hair color said don't, I think that's who it was, said don't use dry shampoo, right? Yeah, she wasn't a fan of it. Well, I use it and I wonder if that exfoliating stuff would help you the get rid of, but I guess,
You're washing your hair. I mean, to your point, yeah, getting rid of excess buildup. Yeah. Maybe. So then you could go longer without washing your hair. And then I do think there may be something about it stimulating the hair follicles and then helping it grow. Oh. But did you make that part up? Yep. Like I did not read that part, but you would think that maybe I would think more it would rip your hair out. Or there's that.
So maybe it does both and then it evens out. Don't take it from us. We're not TikTok experts on this part of the particular thing. I just popped up at my feed and I found it to be interesting. And then there are these people on TikTok, Instagram, whatever, and they just do shot content to get you outraged about it. So then you get confused and I'm like, stop confusing me because I don't know if you're for real or not and I need just the facts. Are you thinking of something in particular?
I'm just lots of things that I'm like, are we really doing that? Or is that really what we're supposed to do? And then I sit down and I go to the comments and I realize, oh, OK, this isn't for real. But I don't have the time to figure out if it's real or not. I just need to tell me. Stop trying to get me to watch your video or make it go viral. Let's just be real. But if they were real, then maybe their video wouldn't go viral. Exactly. I think that's called rage bait. Is that what that is?
It's popular because I keep hearing that word. See this part we didn't talk about last time. Can you tell? I think that's called rage bait. Have you heard of that? No, tell me more. I keep hearing that word though. I think rage bait could be when people are just talking about highly sensitive things, but also videos that you're just like, what are they doing? What? And then you keep watching their videos.
Yeah, there's this one girl that makes these horrible cooking videos. I mean, they are so ridiculous, but I watch every single one, every single time. Like it's a joke. Oh, it's definitely not real. Like she's putting like weird things together. Who announces words wrong? Like she'll be like, and then you put the tortilla in. Some people say like that. No, she's saying it on purpose because she'll say like,
garlack or something like just to make you be like did she really just and then you watch it again to see if she said garlack and then she got two views like she'll put a whole bag of Cheetos in a crock pot and then she's like and then you put the sour cream on top and then you let it simmer for four hours and wait we could be making thousands of dollars making those videos.
But it also just seems like a waste, and it's so ridiculous. I don't get it. And it's not, how is this going to last? I don't know. And maybe she does make money, because you can't get paid on. What are you feeling right now? Real views. On my lip? No, in your body, emotionally. Why? Because I just feel like you got really activated. Well, right now I started to feel really hot.
Could you tell I'm about to rip my my flannel off I have a shirt underneath But I think I'm gonna have to unbutton it and take it off and then all of a sudden my lips started to feel a little tingly Honestly, you don't like this lady's video
No, it's not about the ladies' videos. It's about that we recorded a whole episode and then we're doing it again. And then Cara starts to bark and my dog gives me anxiety and I love her. But I do have how to instantly feel better based on different emotions. And this is from a neuroscientist. You've never heard these before. I'm so excited to hear these. This is from TJ Power. Again, he's a neuroscientist how to instantly feel better when you're angry, sing. So there you go.
That's why we were like happy to stay to us and you too. Happy because it would be seeing. That's what's best for your brain. Like I don't know because he's a neuroscientist, I'm assuming it may activate different parts in the brain that may help whatever it is you're going through. If you're feeling burned out, go for a walk.
If you are overthinking, write. If you're feeling anxious, do breath work. An example would be 4-4-4. Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4. If you're feeling stressed, do some form of exercise or workout. Did you see my mini trampoline in the living room?
Have you used it? Yeah, then trying to jump on it, even just for one minute. Jumping is hard. One minute would be enough. I'm pretty sure I saw on TikTok that jumping for three minutes is like 10 minutes of running. Well, did you ever hear that treading water for seven minutes is like running for 45?
Oh, let me answer. What are you feeling now? You didn't call this last step. So now I'm really sweating. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm not going to put on speaker though, but hello. Hey, Kat and I are recording and we're recording like right now, like your call is on it, but I don't have you on speaker. Okay. So I was just going to pick up and call you back. Well, I have to say I have to call you back, but I don't know your plans if you have dinner because he's in New York city.
You're flying out tonight? I thought you were coming back tomorrow. Oh, baller. Okay. All right. I'll hit you back. Okay. So anyway, so if you're feeling what are you feeling now?
No. You take your clothes off. Where were we? What was I saying? Oh, my trampoline. I asked you if you ever heard that treading water for seven minutes was like running for 45. I think it's an urban legend, but I used to do it as a kid all the time.
That is exactly where we work, because my next thought, and then the phone ring, was that whenever I was training for a marathon in college, so I was about 20 years old, and I hurt my knee really bad during training. And I definitely did a lot of my training in the pool. So you get these little harness things that you sit in, and you act like you're running. So it helps you float up, and then you just move your legs like you're water jogging.
Water jogging, I've never heard of that term before. Is that a real term? It is a real term and it's a real thing. We would do that at the pool and it would help. It did everything the same. You could train a foreign marathon in the water and go to land and be able to do it. I almost feel like it would be harder. It's just working the same muscles, but you're not putting the impact on your joints. I feel like sometimes it's harder to move through. What is harder to move through water than air?
I mean, also don't quote me on that. Like don't train for a full marathon in the water and then try to go run. I'm just saying that's what my coach had me do and it helped me. And I was able to complete the marathon and then my knee has not been the same since. So I recommend bow out. Just like go ahead and send it for a different one. Don't do it. Do a five K or something like that.
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this, start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernesti Manuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I. King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Montonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I try my own country? My full father's did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making racquet with a black powder, you know, with explosive waterhead. Oh my god. What is that? Bull's. Bull's.

So listen to still the place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Okay, if you're overthinking right, if you're feeling anxious, breathe, they're feeling stressed, exercise, or get on your mini trombone, which my mom had a mini trombone growing up. So now when I jump on it, I feel like her. And so it's like a special thing. I like having it in there. I've been, I put it in the living room because I want to be by my Christmas tree and watch cheesy Christmas movies and bounce. Have you watched the new Netflix Christmas TV with Gretchen from Mean Girls? I don't know her name.
Yeah. I know what it's called. It's called, like, hot frost. It was bad. It was so bad. It wasn't even good bad. It was just bad. I know. It's like, how did this happen? Because...
They're at least normally good back. Yes, it was just bad. And she's in a lot of movies like that. That's the thing. They're still good. But this one, I was like, absolutely not. It was disappointing. I was so pumped for it. Did you see the one on Hulu where it's a girl, she has her own radio show and then she ends up getting stranded and this cowboy lives there and he's a widower and they get together? She's a radio show and he's a widower. Yeah, on Hulu. I know. Is this new?
Yeah, it's this year, 2024 Christmas. Have you you've already watched it? I could have that's my character. I could have if I had continued with my acting lessons, I could have auditioned for that. Do you think that she met a cowboy? Did somebody steal your life and write a movie about it? No, because not obviously not all that is even similar. But I just think I could have nailed that role in the girl that did play the part she did great. So that's awesome that she got that. The whole time I was watching, I was like,
Why did nobody call me? I know why because I gave up on myself. Why did you? You never even said you stopped doing the acting lessons. I just assumed you still might be doing them. Because I didn't believe in myself.
Oh, I know. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, but it's just, it's true. I gave up on myself. So either I need to go back to doing the acting lessons, if that's really something I want to try to pursue, or at the very least, I want to enroll back into improv classes because those were so fun. Did you do like a whole improv group? Did you do a class? Yeah. Did you do the whole class? You just didn't go to number two. What do you mean number two?
Aren't there levels? It's eight weeks long. Yeah, I didn't level up, but I did level one and it's for eight weeks and each class each week is three hours long. Oh, that's a huge commitment when you've got kids and you're working and all the things. But hey, you make time for the things you want to do. If you did it again, did you start back at one or can you go straight to two?
I don't know, good question. I would maybe want to start back at once in a minute just to be with the group and get familiar with it. I don't know that I would want to jump back into that. So if you're feeling sad, and this is how to instantly feel better, practice gratitude. What's something you're thankful for today? Not that you're sad, but just give us an example.
I'm thankful for... We didn't do this last time, by the way, I didn't. So I was like, what's really different? I just got back from a girls trip in Boston. I'm very thankful to have a good group of friends that I can do random stuff like that with. So fun. Y'all are really good about that, like, planning trips. Yeah, we do a lot of trips.
Yeah. Maybe sometimes too many trips because, you know, I should be saving a little bit of money, but Boston, great time. And they had some Christmas decorations up, so that was fun. I love Boston so much. It's one of my favorite cities. Right now, I am thankful for, well, so much. She's thankful for that phone call. I'm thankful for my dog making lots of noises out there. I hope y'all can't hear that, but I am thankful for her. She does help me feel safe when she barks, and I'm alone.
But when I'm doing a podcast, I get a little bit annoyed. I am thankful for her though and Maggie and I'm thankful for my kids. I'll do four things gratitude since we're here right now. And I am thankful for airplanes because I just booked my flight for Christmas, me and the kids to go to Colorado to see my sister and then Ben, their dad, my ex-husband, he's also going to Colorado to see his family at the same time. And so I'm just thankful that we have that dynamic to where
I can go to Colorado and stay with my sister and the kids and then he'll be there too. And then when we swap every Friday and when the Friday rolls around that week, they'll leave me and my sister where we're staying there and they'll go down the street and be with him and his family. So some people for
Airplanes making that possible because Colorado's not easy to get to if wanted to drive because my son really wants to drive. And I'm like, why? Look it up, buddy. It would take us more than a day. Like hours and just wouldn't. Does he love a road trip? He just doesn't like airplanes. I don't know. I get that. And then I guess tied into that, I guess my fourth thing will be the relationship that I have with their dad and our family, his family too. That's still my family.
I feel like his mom and dad will always be my mother in father-in-law, no matter what. Where are we? Sad. Practice gratitude. Boom. If you're feeling lazy, take a cold shower. Another thing you could do if you don't want to get all the way in a shower, but you're fine if you want to wash your face, so we just stick your face in the ice bath. And we already talked about this, but how long do you do it? We talked about it, but we didn't record it. But don't.
Well, I build up, so I gradually, like, I'll stick it in. And then I hold it there for, like, you know, five seconds, see what I can handle. And then I release. Take it out. And then I release. Because you make me feel like I couldn't say take it out.
You laughed at yourself before I laughed at you and you said stick it in. So then you, and then you could go maybe 10 seconds and then take it out and then rest. And then what I feel like I'm 13 years old right now. I don't know. So then you build up, but like don't go try to hold it in there as long as possible. Cause then your nose might get red or your face could get irritated and can you like burn your face? Like cold burn. So just deep freeze burn. Take it out, dip, take it out.
And then that may help with any laziness that you have going on or puffy eyes. If you're feeling impatient, reflect on progress. And if you're feeling impatient, it's probably gonna be difficult for you to have the patience to sit down and reflect on any type of progress, but you can do it. We believe in you. I believe that you can do this difficult thing. Maybe take time to write it. Speaking of writing, I did share this on the Unheard episode.
I like that's a good way to say it. The top secret one that was just for me and Kat is the writing thing. My daughter who's 17, we were having a moment talking through some stuff and there was something that she was just on the verge of sharing with me.
That's the right word, verge. Just on that word. She was right on the verge. She was on the ledge. She was on the ledge. She was on the ledge. About to tell me. Yes. Right there. And she couldn't quite get there. Honestly, we sort of stared at each other for about 20 minutes.
And I was like, OK, I mean, in every five minutes or so, I was like, yeah, she's about to say it. Because her eyes would kind of just give me that nudge. So then quietly, I was just inside, but not out loud. But I was like, Lord, I'm open to creative solutions. I love that saying. Anytime I'm feeling stuck, I'm just I'm open to creative solutions. Just make it your mantra. And so I'm open to creative solutions. And then it occurred to me what if maybe she'd write it down?
So thank you, Lord, for that creative solution. And I said, what about if you write it down? And she said, OK, in like 0.5 seconds, she said, OK. And so I handed her a notepad and a pen. And she wrote it down.
I even left, though. I gave her space. And I was like, just to be clear, we're writing it down with the intention that mom's going to read it. It's good for you to sometimes write things down that you just want to release that nobody's going to read. But like, this is for me, for us. And she, I went to run an errand and I came back and the notebook was on my bed.
She wrote it all out, everything. And I was like, oh, and it just helped so much. And so just a reminder with your teenagers or maybe even yourself or your spouse or your roommate or your friend, sometimes it might help in a kind way just to dump your thoughts on the paper and not have to look someone in the eye and be uncomfortable.
It's less vulnerable, but then it opens up the door for then you guys to have that conversation and her to be vulnerable. So it's not a way to bypass vulnerability. It's a way to open yourself up to it.
Yeah, and now there's understanding. It's like, okay, wow, we can build on this. And that might have never ever started. She might have never said that. Yeah. So I'm open to creative solutions. Good job. That was a good proud mom moment. Thank you. Yeah. I was thinking of the things that make me feel good too, that weren't on the list from the neuroscientists. So I don't know if this is like official, but I've been loving a good dance party lately too.
You just put on music, whether in the kitchen or wherever, and you just go, and you just move around. You just move like a free spirit. You're gonna name an animal. Like I leap, and I do all kinds of things. What? What? Just flail about.
Your dancing is flailing. Yeah, I'm just like noodling. What is your go-to song if you're going to do that? Do you have a go-to or do you have a go-to playlist that you play?
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernesti Manuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I. King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Montonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I try my own country? My full father's did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making racquet with a black powder, you know, with explosive waterhead. Oh my god. What is that? Bull's. Bull's.

I'm Cina McFarland, therapist, life coach, change agent, who helps everyone from celebrities, athletes, to ex-king members, throw their addictions and help them wake up.
At each episode by podcast, we hear inspirational stories. We draw lessons from those who have made it through their addiction and recovery to a better place, including legendary boxer, heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. I feel like there's always been a calling for you, something higher.
I don't know, I feel that way as well. But I guess everybody feels in here for a reason. Even if it's the stuff that helps other people understand stuff, and it's not as bad as me believe it is. I believe everybody belongs to me each other. Why do you hear anything? To show people that you know anything possible, you don't give up anything possible.

You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's light-hearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, everyone, this is Courtney Thorne Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zinega. On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same, as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level.
We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place.
So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to podcast. What is your go-to song if you're going to do that? Do you have a go-to or do you have a go-to playlist that you play? No, I just say, if we say her name, does it make other people's go-off? But I say that, I say Alina.
Play, you know, whatever comes to my mind. Or country, like I don't have to have, I'm not like at the club. Like club music. I'm doing leaps around my kitchen. I'm not like in club dancing. I can kind of dance whatever, but I mean, even if you had like a feel good song that you would owe it. Oh, I love nappy roots. Gonna have a good day.
I'm gonna have a good day. I don't know why that's the lyric, but are you sure that's I? I don't. I ain't gonna have a good day. That makes me sad to think that that's what makes it a good day. If you had to change the words, I'm gonna have a good day. I ain't nobody gonna get in my way. Ain't nobody gonna flick me off.
No. Only when I drive sometimes. Um, yeah. I'm gonna have a good day. I'm gonna be on time all the way. I'm gonna be so fun every time my kids come in the room cause I'm an awesome mom. I don't know.
We didn't talk about this part in the last one. No, I would in the unheard because this is an original song she's made up on the fly and I know that probably surprises you guys. Hard for you to believe. Because obviously if we had done that the last one, I would have workshopped it a little more.
Because what would you say? I'm gonna have good day. And nobody's gonna get in my way. And I'm gonna look super fly today. And I'm always gonna know what to say. Hey, that's good. Yeah, it's okay. It paid to talk.
I'm gonna have a good day. I'm not gonna say anything stupid. I'm gonna always hit record. Hey. So do something weird. Whatever it is, it's weird. Maybe it's making up songs. Do you think of the shower? Sometimes. I always make it. If a song is in my head. My friends recorded me this weekend on our trip because I was in the shower sick. I didn't know they could hear me. I thought they were asleep.
Oh, Stevenson is like that too. But I was just like doing like random songs. Like I bought that, but like making beats up. Oh, Stevenson's is good. It's like always praise and worship music first thing in the morning in the shower. And I'm like, well, I think I also was singing everybody in the club getting tips.
Oh, yeah, don't worry. My kids also have other songs as you know. But we have kids these days. Although, Charlemagne the God posted something the other day that was like, hey, let these kids be kids with their music. Everyone's all freaking out by some of the music that's out these days. And he's like, this was us in the 90s. They have no idea what it means. Let's hope. Let's hope. Oh, that's true. Because some of it I have had a major problem with lately and then
Show me that I can't remember the song he referenced, but it was a very good example of like stuff we were listening to in the 90s that was totally inappropriate and we were just jamming out to it. Yeah, that's not okay. Yeah, so we were innocently jamming out. Yeah, I think get benefit of the doubt. Yeah, so let's hope.
I know we just talked about the weird thing. So before we go, I'm going to touch on this because this came up in the unheard about being weird. And I just want to encourage you to just be yourself, be your weird, be your, whatever you need to be, because people that love you are loving you for your weirdness. And if they don't, then it's not real love or it's not real like in a friendship. So it's whether it's romantic or friendship. I saw this whole thing from this philosopher, Alanda Bhatan.
You're good at saying that. I don't know if I'm saying it correctly. I came across it on TikTok. I was like, oh, because it just feels so good to be around people that you can just like be your weird self around. And that's something that in my dating relationship that I even said something like the other day, I'm so stupid or I don't know why I did that. That's so weird.
I feel like he literally said, oh, I love that. Like, that's what I think is so great. And that's what this philosopher was saying, where someone was quoting this philosopher on TikTok about finding someone that will accept your weirdness and you're not going to be not just accept it, but I don't like it.
What you think is weird, they think is amazing. And that is attraction. That is what they are truly attracted to. If you want to know in a nutshell, I believe it was what he was saying. If someone is truly attracted to you, then they think your weirdness is amazing. Period. Drop the mic. And I'm like, yes. Thank you. So you feel like you're going to be yourself? Yes. And I feel like I can be weird and whatever. It's going to be amazing.
And that same philosopher is doing some research. I thought I was going to put that on the Bobby Bone Show as like submitting a show prep. But I was like, eh, I don't know if that will work. But I came across a novel that he wrote called The Course of Love. And even though it's fiction, it still had things that could be applicable. And one of the things that was in there was about admitting you're crazy upfront. And I thought, oh, this could be a fun segment on the Bobby Bone Show where everybody's just go around and admit they're crazy. Like what's one thing you do that you think is crazy?
And the point of that is a lot of times in relationships we can try to just put out the perfection all the time in the beginning and then it just doesn't allow for any sympathy or forgiveness when a situation arises because you're like, wait a second. I'm blindsided by this, this, and this.
And obviously, crazy is on a spectrum. But you know what we're talking about? Like it's just like, hey, what's something that you typically wouldn't want to admit to someone right away? But if you think they'd shut it up front, then it'd be good. So that was the whole thing is admit you're crazy upfront. Like not that you are crazy, but what are your little crazy tendencies? Yeah. I meant you're crazy. Like not why are you a posh for you? Are you like, why are you are? Yeah. Yeah. I meant you were crazy. What is yours? We'd be here all day.
I don't think so. That's yours. That's our 100% is yours. And that's our cue to go. Kat, where can we find you? On Instagram, Kat Van Buren. And I am at Radio Amy. Can you find your dog? She is also on my Instagram sometimes. Yeah, but we'd love to see you there. You can email us for things with amibrown at gmail.com. And yeah, Kat and I will see you later. And we hope you're having the day that you need to have. That's all we got.
Don't forget, sing, dance, be weird, be awesome. Jump on the trampoline. Do your thing, leap, leap, jump. Make up a song. Don't get mad at yourself, you mess up, because we all mess up. Dunk your head in cold water after you mess up. Mess up, just press record again, but then make sure you record it and then, peace out. We were not drinking during this episode, goodbye. I feel like really we were not, bye.
I hate my life. Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday to us. In a minute, you're gonna find out why we're singing. Happy Tuesday to us.
Had enough of this country ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my god. What is that? Bullas. Listen to Escape from Zacostan. Escape from Z-A-Q is Stan. On the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Mike Tyson's journey to recovery reminds us that no fight is easy. With every bumpy start, each step back in moments that could have broken him, he kept pushing forward. I never knew what the spiral was coming up in my life. I never knew I was going to have deep, this hopelessness and how so many millions of people feel like that, but have no help.
