My point exactly. When I’m listening to a podcast I’m also 100 percent in the moment. The problem is I’m normally 150 percent of chaos. The podcast bring me down to an enjoyable normal level
Not catching things. I worked at a leather shop with a lot of very sharp things.
I will just watch stuff fall. Even if it’s a friend tossing me my keys or something. Watch it sail thru the air and land right on the ground. Then I normally say “don’t throw shit at me” as their regular reminder that my instinct isn’t to catch things.
Also the phrase “heads up” doesn’t encourage me to catch something either. It encourages me to check the position of me feet for possible stabs.
I’m saying “I don’t want to get shot… but I’m not afraid of getting shot. Texas is Texas but a stranger is a stranger. Let’s hit this fishing spot together first
“Will the defendant please rise and open the pack… damn death penalty. Rough luck buddy”
