What’s your favorite book of all-time and why is it Lonesome Dove? Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari. (The audiobook is excellent if sitting down and digging in to the print version isn’t doable right now.) That book blew my mind and I think you’d love it if you haven’t already read it.
Please, please quit the vaping as soon as your craving lets you. I took care of my favorite sis while she was dying of lung cancer. (Yes, she was a longtime smoker)
It was so hard on her and everyone who loved her. I don’t wish that for you or your family.
Cinnamon flavored toothpicks weened me off smoking when I was 35. Not sure where to buy anymore, they were at my local C-Store back in the day. Mind you that was a long time ago. Good luck and thanks for all you do!
Talk about shows and movies you’re watching. That’s always a good time.
Also, when you feel like eating at inappropriate times to curtail cravings for vape/smoking, try getting a bunch of different sugar free mints or candies you enjoy. And drink lots of water. Not to sound weird, but replacing one oral habit with something else can often distract long enough to get through the crave monster. Just sayin.’ All the best to y’all!
My list: Music/Movies that Really affected you. Differences between how you were and how you are. The death of the "old country store" (Oh I have a lot of opinions on this). Writers/Journalists/Historians. Maybe I'm being a "papaw" with these subjects lol. At any rate, looking forward to hearing/seeing what you talk about. Keep it up and appreciate and love you man!
Had a major decision 5 years ago while in hospital with flu and pneumonia, I had smoked cigarettes and pot for 40 years. When I got out of hospital I said self,you have to give up something. So cigarettes are out and weed is staying. Made the right decision. 😆
No judgment from the lady who used to pass out on the couch and wake up to the netflix “are you still watching?” screen with one hand still lodged in a bag of nacho cheese doritos... there’s never a convenient time to get the bad habits under control, so good on ya for being honest with your accountabilibuddies. I quit smoking by default in 2017 when my depression was so bad that I couldn’t get out of bed, much less track down cigs. I do NOT recommend that method of quitting, btw, on account of all the misery, but I bring it up because sometimes circumstance makes the tough decisions for you. Here comes a kid, Corey, so it’s as good a time as any to get your shit together. We love you.
I find it interesting that your urge was to eat more fat in that chicken salad - eliminate the croissants and I bet you'd've been satiated a lot sooner.
Subjects for this podcast: How do you feed your inner spark (the things about you that make you who you are) without burning down the world and/or burning out? What sort of balance-related strategies are working for you?
Congrats on cutting back on drinking; never was a smoker. I've been sober from alcohol for 33 years, and like you, food is my primary addiction because it was easier to get and I was a morbidly obese kid. One day at a time for 35 years in that food 12-step program. It is progress not perfection. Keep progressing. Love you and totally get you.
Proud of you for quitting the vape. I would like to get your opinion on something I was talking to my wife about, and no I do not care about what is between your legs, but I do struggle with trans in sports. I do not think Florida is right, but I think if my daughter was playing with a man that transitions into a woman in sports it would be hard because she would be physically better what should we do about that situation? It is not fair that women have to go against someone with the DNA of a man.. I want to be as inclusive as possible, but at the end of the day, I still struggle with this
I'm not Corey but I can give you a little direction on this. There's a trans woman MMA fighter. Alana Feral . She has one win under her belt out of multiple matches. Wouldn't you think that if her birth gender had a real affect on her performance, she'd have zero losses? You'll see this pattern repeat itself a LOT with trans women athletes if you really dig into it. After hrt decreases muscle mass and affects bone density...skill, determination, intelligence, endurance and the innate abilities female born people have can and do make up for any remaining advantage.
Also I am female born non binary and I've kicked the shit out of multiple males both in outright fights and sports. No hrt necessary on either side. Cuz I go hard and I'm smart and I know how to play up my advantages and compensate for my disadvantages.
Still interested in Corey's take but thought I'd put my two cents in as a member of the alphabet mafia.
Also I should add that if they go on puberty blockers as teens before they transition, they never actually develop those male secondary sex characteristics you're worried about
One more thing... this person wasnt born male. https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/54116114 she has to take hormone blockers to compete with women This isn't just an issue regarding trans people. Human variation is WILD when you really look at it. Just an interesting specific case
My hubby recommended cinnamon toothpicks every time you want to smoke. I miss smoking more than anything else so far!

You could talk about wrestling finishers - the good, the bad, and the ugly

How often am I ashamed of myself? When am I NOT ashamed of myself is the question.
Also preferred drunk foods
Blini with garlic and sour cream
Guava paste and quest fresco wrapped in puff pastry
Cream spinich
Andouille and zucchini fried and tossed in mole negro
DIVINITY
HEAVILY peppered clam chowder
Gumbo
Blasphemer's Carolina BBQ (it's a cross between east and west style and MESSY AF...just like me)
Also I have a tendency to drink hot sauce
Still working on kicking smoking. Not weed. Cigarettes. It's a process.

(but you can fuck right off with that chicken salad recipe, I love red grapes, but there’s a time and a place, and that ain’t it, keep it savory 😉)
Corey where the hell did this "women ain't funny" horseshit start? Do you know? You know about funny stuff..
More subjects
I'm interested to hear how you feel about the birth process before and after. Like what you're feelings now and then a follow up after the fact.
Best pranks in Corey's opinion
More history nerd shit.
When is the time in your life you were most terrified? If it's not too personal.
I'll prolly think of more later
