I live in Los Angeles so long that I become violently positive, I am aggressively optimistic. I was talking to a lady in a shop and she said, I've always wanted to open a little boutique like this, but just like a gourmet deli, dude, is how you start happening.

[00:00:25]

You just you see, I am now a grocer. I am now purveying cookies, candies, cakes, cornucopia. I am now, yeah, I have two kids. A full time job that be they'd be pretty tough. I always see the possible. But it is, it's how much the universe supports you. Pretty soon you'll be like, oh god, there's a warehouse. And then like something like I got a free credit tuna you could have and then I'm your first customer.

[00:00:53]

How low is the beef? Fresh. This is so powerful.

[00:00:56]

If you act, it's a fresh approach to, you know, what is actually it.

[00:01:12]

Probably when I think about it, it's just something I was just saying. I probably wouldn't necessarily want to get into into retail. Open up your fucking shop. McGreal, every passing fancy. My beloved husband is, of course, bearing the brunt of this unsolicited support, we're talking about Diana Nyad. She swam from Cuba to Florida a thousand miles open water without a shark cage. She said, wow, I could never do that.

[00:01:55]

I said to her, she's an Olympic swimmer.

[00:02:03]

She attempted five times. She almost died twice. I'm not a good swimmer. I also really don't want to do it.

[00:02:13]

Why don't you believe in yourself?

[00:02:17]

We would just incrementally increase the time you spent in the tub. I you with washcloths to mimic the sting of the box jelly.

[00:02:33]

I was wondering why I was getting so enraged when someone suggests that there are limits. And it is because I think I feel terribly guilty that all my dreams came true relatively easily. About 15 years ago I just wanted to be on television. It happened. I'd like to think that there was a result of hard work. But if you know me at all, you know that I'm sleepy and I cannot remember what you just told me. That leaves luck.

[00:02:59]

Luck is just another way of saying some of us were born sliding into home plate. I was given a full ride scholarship through the age of 25 by an organization called the Bamford's.

[00:03:14]

I was talking to a group of high school students and none of us knew why I was there. Very confusing, not a little frightening.

[00:03:23]

I was saying something extremely ill advised, like you could do anything you set your mind to Turtle's kid in the back said it's not that easy.

[00:03:42]

As a final lesson for Career Day, if you could take one of my headshots from 1999, of which I ordered a thousand on Rush and have never needed them in a few days, Cortazar, I can't seem to add, as you say to yourself, huh?

[00:04:00]

Who was that? Even I don't even want to be what she is just it's like she's all shaky.

[00:04:10]

How does she even have a job?

[00:04:16]

Just no one individual managed to accomplish with a modicum of effort. And every possible advantage, she's like an old baby.

[00:04:33]

Yes, a perfect description of what I am, a very old baby like watch Maria Bamford, old baby only on Netflix.
