 I haven't even talked about if you had Trouser chili and you had to deal with that maybe at home or in the office You're a freaking superhero. You're dealing with accountants. You're dealing with lawyers. You're dealing with clients Maybe you're working at a factory in your lift and hoods on the conveyor belt Meanwhile, you got Trouser chili. You're holding in gas and you don't think you're a superhuman You don't give yourself respect for dealing with that. You think you got to succeed way more than that Are you kidding me? Whoa Welcome everyone to the being human podcast and thanks for listening and thanks for coming on Scott St. Marie's YouTube channel where it's me in a room in a microphone So you don't really need to watch but it would be kind of nice if you did because then you can comment and we can talk about Yes, the title of this episode 100 reasons reasons 100 reasons why you're amazing like Sean Connery. All right 100 reasons why you're amazing I don't think I'll reach a hundred. It's just a theme You know, I don't have any notes because that's what that's what makes this podcast so shitty and maybe awesome at the same time So I had an idea for this theme because I was thinking of how much I had to do today And how much the average person? I don't care if you consider yourself a quote-unquote Lazy person which laziness is purely a symptom of something much deeper and even better and juicier But let's not talk about that It's amazing that we have to fit into a day a day to maintain this idea of health and existence and Yet we beat ourselves up constantly that we're not good enough that we don't have enough We don't have money. We don't have enough friends. We don't have the good enough car The tree we planted isn't big enough and it's already been three seasons Damn snow plow comes too late and I had to shovel out my own driveway bunch of dinkies What am I paying taxes for all of these things? There's complaints There's that we're not good enough that there should be something better something more and we forget to sit and Realize that holy crap. You're an awesome person straight up You really are I swear even if you piss the seat this morning and Your girlfriend boyfriend mom dad brother sister said why'd you piss the seat? Pick up the seat if you're gonna piss and you said damn it. I keep forgetting. I keep failing I always piss on the seat. It's been four years and I keep pissing the seat I'll make the argument today that you're still an awesome human being. Okay. You ready? Okay, let's start Let's start with this idea of Getting up in the morning. Geez The option to sleep in is always there But we don't Isn't that incredible? Now what gets us up in the morning is actually a wee little dose and shot from the adrenal glands of cortisol And it gets us up, but we always have in our minds Two selves there were like I can choose to sleep in or I can choose to get up Sleeping in would feel better Getting up. I kind of have to because the fear of losing my job and getting fired seems terrible We get ourselves up out of bed. That's the first thing we do in the morning We fight against the cozy every single morning We fight against the softness the gentleness the beauty of pillows and satin baby cover Isn't that amazing already? We start the day doing something that you know what we there's a bit of a fight There is I don't care if you love your job So much or you the the feel that you have to get up or that you have something during the day that you're looking forward to Nobody bounces out of bed in Pure joy and bliss and looks amazing and yet you do it every single morning you get up Dealing with depression and everything everyone like that's the big thing people talk about is if you just made it up out of bed Even if you made it to the shower, even if you took a piss and went back in that's a win So let's count some wins win number one and why you're awesome You think I'm gonna get through a hundred? No, I guess it was clickbait But let's keep going that you got out of bed second thing amongst everything you freaking have to do during the day Like work responsibilities alone for eight hours a day. You still need to feed yourself What the shit? You need to consume at least two thousand cows, baby And you got to do that while your boss is peeing on your back. That's incredible. So Even if you're not eating the healthiest stuff, you're still maybe preparing a sandwich You're still making yourself breakfast. You're still figuring out the coffee maker And you're doing that while you're cooking eggs and bacon and maybe you're pouring cereal getting the milk out of the fridge You're setting up the bowl. Then you got to eat the food Unbelievable and I know it may sound cheesier that maybe I'm insincere But I think about this stuff all the time of how incredible it is that we fit these things into every day And don't really think about it because it's so routine and it's so tedious to do these things that meals get in the way from something else and all of this but you fit it in man That's unbelievable. And some of you do that three times a day three times a day I Remember when I just like I couldn't eat enough and this was probably due to parasites and probably because I had the gluten Sensitivity, but I'd be so angry when I would be eating I think I told you guys this in a previous episode. I was at university I was living with a few buddies and this was my buddy Kyle and he sees me in the kitchen and I'm eating like I don't know one of my chicken wraps or something and he's like dude You all right you look like pissed off and I'm like, yeah, I'm pissed He's like why I'm like cuz I'm gonna be hungry in like another hour And this just took me 20 minutes to frickin eat And I spent all this money on food and I'm gonna be starving in an hour. What the hell is the point? It was so funny but seriously amazing that we Cook our own food prepare this stuff and take the time to do so next thing We have to put on clothes You have to go to the store and you have to buy clothes and you couldn't just go into the bay or you couldn't even go into Macy's JC penny is JC penny a store. Yeah, I think so and Just pick up cotton Alright here cotton tubes. Those are my pants. Here's another cotton tube with two tubes on the side That's a shirt and here's another cotton tube for my tucker a hat and that'll keep me warm No way you need to go into the store and then you have to worry about does it look good and does it fit, right? Are you serious man? Oh? my god The amount of calculations that your brain has to do on a daily basis second to second basis is unbelievable unbelievable Let me just focus on my face. There we go. It's unreal and you're doing that every single day You're not shopping for clothes every bay day, but the decisions that we make on a daily basis is unbelievable So you put on your clothes and now oh, yeah Amongst getting up in the morning. We didn't even talk about bathing yet. You still need to clean yourself every day Now I would not recommend soaping your entire body every day. I don't remember the last time I soaked my entire body You just do the pits and the crack and and the dick or around the vejojo And that's it and then shampoo. I shampoo my hair once every maybe four or five days condition once a week and Yeah, you don't want to get rid of those beautiful oils on the skin man Everyone's stripped those away with suds and who soaps every day. That's insane But yeah, just do your pits and your ass and your balls and all the nitty gritties and you're good to go Okay, and if you don't believe me search the search the Google and talk to all dermatologists They'll back me up. So you clean yourself, which is amazing. You hop in the shower every day Unbelievable and then this is the whole point of the podcast that just gets me so Pumped up for the human species is that we do all of this stuff and we still need to work a frickin job that blows me away The day-to-day is enough to deal with just to cook to clean to buy clothes and To vacuum to clean your sinks to do the dishes you splattered all the bacon grease on the oven You got to clean that and on top of all that you have to work eight hours a day whoa You got to be shitting me You got to be kidding me It's unbelievable the daily tasks of living are don't you think they're enough sometimes? Like and we have to do that five days a week at least Or I worked seven days a week for like a few years Even during my jobs and then when doing depression to expression stuff and coaching and doing talks like it was unbelievable cleaning cooking This hasn't we haven't even brought into the equation the psychological need of connection where you got to hang out with buddies You got to talk you got to shoot the shit You got to have some fun when you're doing the extracurriculars of playing soccer frisbee football going for walks playing tennis skating Going to your roller derby And skating around when do we do all that stuff? What in the evenings when we go to home at 6 30 p.m. After an hour commute We still have to eat and then we want to do extracurricular stuff and socialize no way We usually just want to plop down and watch some net dicks These expectations we have of ourselves Are pretty high Straight up say yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, of course Meanwhile look at all the expectations of life that we're meeting every day. I Have even talked about if you had trouser chili and you had to deal with that Maybe at home or in the office. You're a freaking superhero. You're dealing with accountants You're dealing with lawyers. You're dealing with clients Maybe you're working at a factory in your lift and hoods on the conveyor belt. Meanwhile, you got trouser chili You're holding in gas and you don't think you're a superhuman You don't give yourself respect for dealing with that you think you've got to succeed way more than that Are you kidding me? Whoa And we haven't even gotten to the part where maybe you have children Maybe you got a husband. Maybe you got a wife and you're questioning. Do I even love this person anymore? They're a pain in the ass. Why'd I marry them? It's been seven years. God damn Then the relationships in the back of your head while you're shitting yourself in the office. You are a superhero You're an amazing person Just by doing the things that keep us alive and sustained every day I haven't even gotten to the point if you deal with low back pain mother fudge man Chronic pain isn't something we talk about The only person that talks about chronic pain is fucking dr. Ho selling his frickin vibrator for your low back Don't make me do an impression right now. Don't make me do an impression If you promise not to cancel me, I'll do all of the Asian impressions you want Not yet not yet. We'll wait until we get we'll wait until we hit 25,000 listens per episode on the being human podcast Then I'll bring out all the goods But you think about it everyone like honestly take that in Take it in. I have trouble with that too That I'm like I got it. I got to keep doing more. I need to expand the podcast. I need more clients I need to do more talks. I need to travel more. I need to see more and we forget that What we succeed in during the day is monumental is amazing. It's badass It's a superhuman achievement just to be you and to do what you're doing When you listen in a Gary V and a frickin Tony Robbins to think you need to live this extraordinary life I've had an epiphany Because I spoke with God for over a year while I was suffering and dying and my friends Just by being you and existing in this brief moment in time and you can think it all you want But if you really feel that and if you really embody that sensation of holy shit, I do a lot and I am awesome It's an amazing thing that you do Clean cook raise kids have a husband have a wife have a social life go to work Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, we haven't even thought about through all this time We have the thought in the back of our head that Life is impermanent that we're gonna be in the soil and we still go on You serious right now? If you still don't think you're awesome. I don't know what else I got to say We didn't really talk about chronic pain. I just threw dr. Ho under the frickin bus But if you deal with pain I Can finally empathize with people like that Like with with my neck and everything long story, but it's unbelievable How much it can affect you and people go to work like that people drive people got a you know do manual labor with chronic pain And we don't give them metals They're not online You people didn't make you didn't make the front page man. I'm sorry The front page Kim Kardashian made the front page Adam Sandler came up with grown-ups for and it was a piece of shit And he made the front page you didn't make the front page. I'm sorry Should you yeah, we should all be on the front page every damn day for being alive and doing what you do I don't even know what you do, but it doesn't matter It's incredible that you still do it despite Everything else going on in your life Despite the kids despite the pain despite the low back despite the burning dick when you pee you're doing it all Holy geez. Give me an amen man Give me a hallelujah Yeah It's amazing isn't it? Damn Now here is where here is where it's fun Cuz I just had a thought just for a second that there's no way you can post this Scott. There's no way I Don't feel awesome About this episode and There it is and that's the work we do as human beings and that's the work I do I'm not gonna pay attention to that one I'm gonna pay attention the part of me that does actually think this podcast was so fun and hilarious and I truly meant every single word of it You probably get that too, don't you? You're feeling great for a moment and yes, Scott. You're right. I am bad ass Holy geez do I do a lot with no recognition? Nobody I wasn't on the front page. I posted that I had a baby on Facebook and three people gave a shit I had the baby because I wanted the attention from my Facebook high school friends shit my plan backfired and The baby return policy. It's not a 14-day money-back guarantee It's a 85 year guarantee So I get it the voices are conflicting one moment. You're like, I'm awesome next moment. You're like me I'm just like shit. This is kind of garbage and dumb and you're like shit Scott. Yeah, that's all true But people have it better I know people have it worse But I could be doing more and I could ask for the raise and I could have a better job and I could have a better relationship sure absolutely You have those thoughts have those plans and aspirations and you know what go for it But not for the sake of putting yourself down for who you are right now and what you're doing right now Know what I'm saying? You don't beat yourself up and shovel dirt over yourself to make yourself climb higher Where do those beautiful thoughts come from and those negative thoughts where does your goodwill and grace and warm heart come from And why do you do things for people on top of you work in the eight-hour day raising kids and with low back pain You're doing all of this extra good for the world and for your family and for your friends You haven't murdered anyone yet. Holy jeez. Hallelujah. Yeah You haven't even stabbed anyone. I know you wanted to but you didn't Yeah, seriously. What a superhuman achievement We go about our days and we punch so few people in the jaw We don't punch anybody We want to But we don't do it. It's amazing humans are so beautifully disciplined that we save That kind of violence for an octagon and we throw people in this octagon with a little cage and we're like, okay Now you can punch.
