Welcome to denim wrapped nightmares tipsy exchange Podcast where we explore the supernatural series episode by episode.
over drinks, we'll discuss the lore of gore and what we adore about the Winchesters and their adventures.
I'm burly, and I'm a new fan of the series.
I'm LA, and I'm here along for the ride. Now, let's get tipsy.
Hello, la
Hello Burley. Our last episode was free to be you and me. And Sam doesn't feel like he trusts himself anymore. So he decides to give up the hunting life. But he gets a visitor in the middle of the night when he actually for once has a shirt off. It is Jessica. But it's not Jessica. It's actually the devil. He still just wants Sam
to say yes be his vessel. And Dean is intent on stopping the apocalypse and he continues hunting on his own, but he teamed up with cast DLL and I tried to find the Ark Angel Raphael because cast believes Raphael knows where God's location is. What
Today's episode is titled The end. It's the fourth episode of season five and originally aired on October 1 2009. The episode opens up with Dean pulling up in front of a hotel to go get some Z's as he's walking into the door. There's somebody on the sidewalk that's asking people if they're prepared for the rapture. And he asks Dean, have he given any thought to God's plan for him and Dean says, Too freakin much Powell. As he goes in, and then they lingered on the sidewalk
preacher for a little bit. Yeah, so we should have known he was going to be important. Dean gets upstairs, and he's talking on the phone with Castile. I guess Cass yells search for God ain't working out so well.
Dean's necklace isn't.
It's not getting hot. Helping too much. Just not getting hot for God. Yeah. So Cass is thinking, Okay, we get the cult like I've heard the demons have the cold, we'll get the cold and we'll try to use that to go kill the devil. And he was just like, Oh, no. So Cass is like, Well, where are you? Where are you? Dean tells them where he is and cascos. I'll be there immediately. But Dean says, no, no, no, no, no. I got to take a crop and a nap. Okay, I'm a human. I have needs,
man. Give me like four hours. We'll meet up then. CASS says okay, and hangs up the phone and says I'll just wait here then. Right here. Just gonna stand here on the side of the road in the dark. Dean lays down to go to sleep. And then his phone rings. His tiny little phone his tiny little flip phone that looks so big in his hand. He reaches small in his hand. Oh, yeah. His Yeah, that's what I said. It looks so small in his hand. He answers the phone. He's like, Cass What the fuck, dude,
I told you I have to sleep. But it's not Cass. It Sam and he is freaked the fuck out. He booked it out of that hotel. He is driving. He's like I want back in. I'm gonna be the devil's vessel. Like, let's get together and Dean says no. And then we have to watch a painful breakup happen over the phone. Where Dean says we're the fire and oil of the apocalypse. We got to stay away from each other. Don't want to see you anymore. It's not you. It's me. By Sam. Not Sammy. Sam. He hangs up on
Sammy. And Sammy so sad in the car. I wouldn't be too. Speaking of in the car. He did tell Cass he had been driving for 16 hours to get to this Kansas City hotel. What was happening in Kansas City that he needed to drive 16 hours straight. We don't know. We'll never find out. I mean, it must have been really important. But the first thing he did when he got there was lay down to sleep. I ain't drive in 16 hours straight nowhere. Oh, wait, that was like a quadruple negative. Deal. Dean
goes back to sleep. After breaking up with Sam and it fades to black. When it fades back in. We see this janky clock on the side table. The room looks dirty as hell. And as they continue to pan over. Dean is sleeping on bear bed springs like no mattress nothing. He wakes up and is thinking exactly what we were thinking. Which is what the fuck? Looks like freakin bomb went off in this town. Like who knows? It's trashed. And I was curious. Did they find an abandoned town and
set all this up? If they take an existing town and set all this up? Like I don't think all of that was a set build, do you? It could have been it could have been but it was it could have then at a studio where they're already well, that would be yes. Set build. Yes. super fucking detailed. If it was a set build, so I am curious, did they just find a location or was that a set build because it was a lot. There's a lot of detail that went into showing this post apocalyptic little town. It
looked great. Dane is exploring the town trying to figure out what's going on and he hears something shatter. He turns a corner and finds a little girl playing with broken mirror shards. And then after she spit some ketchup out of her mouth and onto the mirror, she grabs a piece of the mirror and start slashing starts to slashing.
She was creeping before she even spit anything out.
Right? Then I'm like, what were you eating? Like just catch up? There was a lot of ketchup that fell out of her mouth like a big ol glob. Ketchup has never been creepier. Don't think it was ketchup was supposed to be congealed, collaborated collaborative blood? Is that what it looks like? Ketchup? Yeah. After she attacks Dean, he knocks her out with one punch. And then a group of people come around the corner
and they are not happy. You can just tell from their vibe that they're really aggressive and upset. So Dean goes oh, shit and turns around and runs and they all go chasing after him. I've seen a lot of people post a little fun fact that in some scene where Dean was supposed to outrun people, that he ran too fast, and they had to go back and do the shot because he got way too far ahead of them. I think this was probably it. Because there was a lot of
running. We had a long little run in sequence here with all these people trying to chase down dean. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, this tank comes around the corner starts a blast and people are popping out of the top walking around guns shooting down all these people who are chasing Dean Dean is luckily able to take cover. They're blasting 60s Rock. I mean, it was a good jam. But where do they come from?
Never explain whether they're like military just boom,
murder everybody. Dean waits for whatever the fuck this was to die down before he sneaks out of this area and sees a giant no entry warning sign that says Kansas City is a Croatoan virus hot zone. Even more importantly, there's a date on the sign that says August 1 2014. So he has been transported five years into the future. And he is confused. So what's the first thing he does hotwire a car and go see Bobby, go get some answers. As he's driving along. He can't get a cell signal. He can't find a
radio station. And then all of a sudden he has a passenger. It's Zachariah. He's going through a newspaper reading off terrible headlines. Dean says, I thought I smelled your stink on this back to future crap. That's good. If things are not going well and this little universe here, President Palin defends the bombing of Houston Croatoan panna Dimmick reaches Australia. No more public assembly because of the virus that's too
contagious. And all of these just all of these problems going on DNS Zachariah, how well How'd you find me? And Zachariah lets him know Oh, we we let some of the fringy or Christian groups know that we were looking for you gave them your picture, and everything and DNS just like a fucking sidewalk preacher. He ratted me out. Zacharias, like Ingo thought
you just said creature. Maybe.
Maybe, wait a minute. What? Remember that part? Yeah, who knows? But Zachariah tells him You know, we want you to marinate in this little future for three days. We want you to see what happens if you keep saying no to Michael. And then he vanishes. Dean gets to Bobby's place and it is fucked up. Like definitely somebody has come in there and just ransacked the place. He finds Bobby's wheelchair flipped over on its side with what I assume was supposed to be bullet holes and
blood on the chair. It's was still awfully shiny and wet. So I'm guessing it was something that happened recent. So we don't really know what happened to Bobby. But clearly, it wasn't anything good. Dean knows where Bobby hides his journal. So he goes to the fireplace and moves the little tile out of the way to get that goes through. And he finds a picture in front of Camp citta qua and Chuck is in the picture and Cassiel is in the picture. So that's his next
destination. He gets there at night and the first thing he sees when he arrives here is baby all rusted and just sitting out In the middle of a field, Dean is distraught. He sneaks in and is checking out the car. And he's just like, oh my god who did this to you. I'm so sorry. When all of a sudden a mysterious figure appears and punches Dean out one punch. This episode has a lot of one punch Dean. knocking people out. Camera hands up and we see its
Dean from the future. So now it's gonna get really confusing. Just bear with me. Current Dean wakes up to find himself cuffed to a ladder. And future Dean is like stroking has gotten current Dean says what the hell and future Dean just like you fucking tell me who are you? Current Dean says I'm not a shifter or any of those things. And future Dean says, Yeah, I know. I did the test while you were out. I also went through all your pockets and everything. And you have have every hidden
pick pocket. Switchblade box cutter like everything that I keep on my person was on you. So can you explain that? And current dn just says, Zachariah. Oh, I forgot. Future Dean is like telling me something only we would know. And current team says Rhonda Hurley. We were like 19. And she made us she made him put on her panties. They were pink and satiny. And they liked it. And future Dean just goes to Shea. So then he explains that Zachariah zapped him here because he's supposed to see
something. They're chit chatting kind of catching up. And we also find out that Sam apparently didn't make it after some big showdown in Detroit. That turns out to not quite be what happened. I mean, it's not I wouldn't say it's a lie. But we get more information on that later. Right. Future Dean says he has to go run an errand. And he's like, you know, I'm out. I'll see you later. Current Dean is just like, Dude, you don't have to leave me cuffed here.
Don't you trust yourself? A future Dean's like fuck now. You're gonna stay there cuffed? Well, we should have known current dean was going to get out of it. He picked a nail out of the floorboard. And pitch the lock. When he's walking out. Who does he run into? But Chuck and Chuck is trying to ask him about supplies. And he's like, Wait a minute. Aren't you supposed to be out on a mission? And right, is this happening? This girl comes walking up and she is pissed. She's like, I thought we
had a connection. What the hell? You were in Janet's cabin last night. Dean asks, Chuck and Chuck is just like yeah, Dean says getting freakin in trouble for shit I didn't even do yet. Like what the hell? So Risa is this chicks name she storms off. Next Dean asked Chuck if cast is still there. And Chuck is like yeah, cast isn't going anywhere. So he goes to visit cast his
cabin. This was fun. So Dean walks in and Cass has like this vibey music playing He's got a beaded curtain for his door I'm sure there was incense lit in there somewhere they didn't show it but I'm deciding to believe that was there. And he is talking to a group of I want to say it was like four women
I think so yeah.
About having this shared perception reality experience and how it gets surprisingly physical as Dean comes walking in cast spots Dean and tells the woman you know, give me a little bit I need to have a conversation with our fearless
leader. In the meantime, why don't you go get cleaned up for the orgy and danspace is just like what the fuck after the women leave Dean says what is happening here so you'd like some hippie now and cascos I thought you got over trying to label me Dean whenever Casio turns around and actually faced Dean he says Whoa fucking trippy like you're not you from now you're you from something else and Dean explains Yeah, like a made from five years ago Zachariah zapped me here Cass is
like interesting. Dean's like fuck you. Like that's not the word for it. Then they hear trucks pulling up and they go outside and it's future Dean with a team of like three or four guys and they're cracking beers to a successful mission. And as one of the guys kind of starts to walk off future Dean pulls out a hand gun and shoots him in the head well current dean is running out freaked out by this like what will what what
are you doing? Which then freaks out everybody else because why are there two Dean's I wouldn't be freaked out if there was two Dean's be like Thank you.
Right Whoo. Thank goodness because you another one.
So future Dean just dismisses it as Listen, this is fucked up. But if you guys need to know something, I'll tell you and they just take that at word face value and leave apparently. But future Dean is not happy with current dean. So they go into a room to have another
conversation. Current Dean apologizes, because future Dean explains that the other guy had started exhibiting symptoms of the Crotone virus on their way back and it wasn't going to take long before he flipped and spread it to everybody else. It's not curable. You know, we had to nip it in the bud. And everybody here understands the situation we're in. What probably freaked them out was seeing my freakin clone running out of a cap. Dean. So current dean is like, yeah, okay, my
bad. I'm sorry. So they have a glass of whiskey together. And at first, I totally thought future Dean was going to drug current dean. Oh, yeah, I could see that just the way he put the glasses down. And then the glass he chose the glass future Dean chose to take. It just seemed like there was some sort of sleight of hand or something going on there. I was wrong. But that's what I thought was happening at first. So current dean asked future Dean with flux
going on. And he's like, it took me five years, but I found the coal. And I'm gonna go back and kill the devil. And I think this is when he explains that Sam didn't die in Detroit. He said yes to becoming Lucifers vessel. During their conversations, we find out that the last time future Dean had spoken to Sam was probably during the last conversation that we saw current dean have with Sam where they had their little breakup, that they never spoke again after that. They never tried to find
each other after that. And so they just literally, were done after that. Next up, future Dean gets Raisa Castile and current dean all in a room together to discuss the plan of how they're going to go kill the devil, but he knows where the devil is located. When he's asked how he found out where the devil was located. He says something about a demon that he got a demon to tell him and Cassie, Allah makes this flippant remark about how Oh yeah, our fearless leader is skilled and trained at getting
the truth out of somebody. And current Dean says, oh, fuck, so we're torturing again. Classy. Which makes Cassiel die laughing He thought that was real cute. He's like, I like past you. Yasumi you're real hot. You're real fun.
We know we know you.
Future Dean discusses the plan. Like this is it this is where we're going. We're just gonna go. We're gonna we're gonna show up there and Cass is like, what we're like just gonna walk straight up the drive and just go shoot the devil. Dean future Dean's like you calling my plan reckless. And Castile says what was it? Oh, god dammit insouciant? Isn't that what he said? Did I just make that up? I don't know. I just pulled up reckless synonyms. And whatever he said is not on here. But Mr.
Soros said a word. He was like, Well, if you don't like reckless, how about another word? This word that also means reckless, except it wasn't rash, careless, thoughtless and cautious. He lists unheeding and attentive. I mean, there's a ton of words. Well, yeah, but I don't see. I don't see the one that I'm that he said. And I didn't write it down. But he was just using all kinds of words in this episode that I was like, I I'm loving. Anyway, future deals like what? So you're not coming
with me? You're criticizing me? So you're not coming with me? And Casio says, of course, I'm coming with you. But why are you bringing this guy? If something happens to him? Isn't that going to affect you? It's past you. And future Dean is just like he's coming. Get it? Coming? I just made myself go. Yeah, okay,
sorry. A little slow there.
It wasn't that funny. I just made myself a goal. So don't don't worry about it. Well, that Castile and Risa both say we're coming to and we're gonna go get everybody else who's coming. All right. We're gonna get them together. What did you say? I'm gonna go rally the grunts rally the troops. Something like that. What he said grunt I don't know. This is a mess. Cassiel and Risa leave the Calvin. Okay. Okay. And current dean and future Dean are just like staring at each other.
And current Dean says, Why am I coming? Like he's got a point. Future Dean says what? Like, you're not gonna get hurt. Zach's got your back. Desi. And current Dean says, Okay, no, I'm not worried about that. I wanted to plan like, why am I coming? A future Danish. Like, there's something you need to see. So I guess maybe he doesn't know that Sam has the double yet. Oh, yeah. You know, yeah, he doesn't. This is when he tells him. Okay, okay. Yeah, he did.
He didn't tell him that over suspicious glass of whiskey. This is when he tells him when I said Sam didn't make it in Detroit. I didn't mean he died. He said yes to Lucifer. My bad there. are a lot of conversations where it was Dean on dean. And I don't take good notes. Bear with me. You're fine. You're doing fine listeners, this team of like, I think, five. Why I did
mean to point out. When was it current dean confronts future Dean about his plan. He's like, you're just going to send them out in there. Did you already get to that part yet? No. But go Okay, going.
We're there. Were there. He's like, you're just
gonna send your friends out to be like, slaughtered. I think he's like, you know, a meat grinder. And he's like, in cast too. And did you notice he kind of like he wasn't feeling guilty until he said CASAS Nene
said cast and he was like, look down, like,
you're so conflicted. I love him, but I need I need to use them.
I'm just gonna punch you instead. Yeah. Yeah. So they're at this house. It's got a fence around it. So it's business time. But there's no one around it. As was discussed earlier. They're in a hot zone. There should be quotes everywhere. That's what they call people who are sick with Croatoan. And you can tell everyone's not feeling confident. With Dean's plan. Future. Dean's plan that, you know, we're going straight through here. Second floor window. That's where we're
going. Which I was just like, why are y'all gonna go crawling through the second floor window? Is there a ladder there that I'm not seeing?
Mm hmm.
I was just like, Oh, okay. That's a weird plan. Yeah, it
seems like there could have been a better plan where he did not have to, like sacrifice his friends.
Well, not just that. Why are you going in through the second floor window? Yeah.
Know how you're gonna get up there. Just in general. It seems like there could have been a better plan. Yeah.
Your fake plan could have been better future Dean. Yeah. Current Dean is watching future Dean. Tell them this is what they're doing. And that cast is kind of like, What the fuck are you talking about second floor window. And future danishes like we're doing in Cass is just like fine. And current dean is like, I don't think so pulls them aside. Then they have a little conversation that LA just talked about. We get our third one punch knockout of the episode.
Current Dean wakes up and there's just gunfire and so he goes around back where he knew future Dean was going to be sneaking in just in time to see future Dean's neck get snapped under the foot of Sam's body currently inhabited by Lucifer. I didn't like that the whites in his outfit didn't quite match.
It was a little weird.
Look, if you're going to be so posh and sassy can at least have like monotone like matching. I agree. They have this long conversation. Where Lucifers like, Do you know what I got? sent from heaven. I loved my dad too much. He likes the little hairless apes more than me. Where? Lucifer also taunt Steen. Just like this is where we're always going to end up because it has to be your brother. I'm always going to when very cocky. Posh little shit. I wanted to punch him in the face on Dean's behalf.
It's kind of creepy. Yeah, it
was very creepy. It was a very different creepy from possessed Sam and born under a bad sign. Oh, yeah. Kudos, Jared paddle lucky for distinguishing quite clearly between your possessed vessel performances are different characters. Yeah, the conversation was creepy. I mean, just the little. Even
the way he spoke like even his voice was like a little like, hi. Hello, Dean. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't like it and a little
facial expressions he would do. And like when he went walking up to D and like he was going to console him by touching him and Dean pulled away and he was just like,
yeah, it was all like a little condescending. Yes. Yeah.
That's a good word for it very much that. Like if you were worried, like are not worried, thinking oh, just Lucifer like us like he does not know. And same with Uriel. A lot of the other angels know.
That's fine. We're not a fan of you either. Right?
You When You're mismatching whites, get
it together and get your shit together, Lucifer.
But Lucifer is just finally like, you know, okay, whatever I win. And so he's tries to leave and Dean just has one tear. Perfect. It was perfection. This single tear. Like you better kill me now. Just like No, I like that would be redundant. I don't need to kill you. See you in five years. And he pieces out. distraught. Current Dean turns around just in time to see Zachariah who tend to fingers his forehead back in the hotel in Kansas City and Zacharias. Just like I got
you now, boy. You just say yes to Michael or that shits gonna go down and just in time, who shows up for their appointment that they were supposed to have four hours from the beginning of the episode. Castile sweeps in and saves the day scoops Dean and takes him back to his cute little waiting spot on the side of the highway I don't think and do you just like oh my god, thank you. Oh, and cows was like we had an appointment. Dean tells him, don't you ever
change? Then Dean decides he needs to do something, something he should have done in the first place. And he picks up the phone, his tiny little phone and his big ol hand. We cut to Dean leaned up against the baby off on the side of the road somewhere and Sam comes pulling up. And he looks so sad and apprehensive like a kicked puppy. We're little Sammy. Oh, and Dean goes up to him. And he gives Sam rabies knife and it's like, you're probably rusty. You're probably out of practice.
So you should hold on to this. Maybe I'm right. Maybe we are each other's Achilles heels. But we should be together. And so I liked this episode a lot. Because that was the message he took, you know, everybody's trying to say, oh, what went wrong here is that you said no to Michael in this future. And Dean walked away. 100% like, no, that's not what fucking went wrong. What went wrong is I didn't go after my brother. I didn't get back together with my brother. I loved that. I didn't
see that coming. And I thought that was that was really sweet. He's like, You know what? Like, we've got some shit. We got to work out. Fix some stuff, bro. But we got to stick together.
He said we keep each other human. Yeah, they're gonna make their own future.
puppy dog eyes. And just Sammy was
like, trying to keep it cool. But you could tell he was like, Oh, it was so
cute. Written by Ben Edlund and directed by Steve Boyer them. There wasn't any Gore just catch up. Catch up and a lot of dirty stuff. Like a lot of me just being like, oh my god, I would want to take a shower so bad if I was in that scenario. Yeah. I noticed the crooks didn't have the black dark veins. So I guess I was wrong about that. And I'm trying to think where did i i know that happened and slams slams Sam's Sam's hallucination I was trying
to combine two words there. I feel like I've seen that on the show. But maybe it was one of the later episodes that I saw. So we'll just move past it. Okay, but I was wrong that that was a Crotone virus thing.
Or maybe you're not and they just didn't. It do what? Well with continuity. What's
the word? mutates? Maybe it mutates? Oh, yeah, there you go. And that becomes a symptom. Okay. So no, Gore. I don't think Did you spot anymore? I don't think so. Yeah, no more. Just this punch single punch knockout. Yeah. Which wasn't really gory. Just something of note impressive. I want to learn how to do that. So what did you adore about this episode?
A very much adore a world where there are two Dean's and I am here for that.
I adored hippy casts he Yeah, he was. He was really cute. I know. He was fun. He was miserable and stoned all the time. But I still really adored him.
Yeah, yeah. I adored it was very much different cast. And it was funny. He was very funny in this one. Yeah.
Smart. Lots of smiles, which we don't see. Castiel do. So that was that was pleasant. Getting to see that. Even if he was miserable and self medicating like crazy. Bless his heart. Oh, I loved it whenever he was like, I've gone mortal. And Dean said, you know, so you're playing for our team now or something like that cascos? Yeah, but I used to be part of a much better team.
True. That's a cliche. Oh,
I'm Kurt fuller is still being underutilized in my opinion, but we'll just move past that. Even though he was creepy. And we don't like him. Jared pedelec. He's performance as Lucifer. That was gonna be my second one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I adored that, too. And it was nice seeing Chuck Yeah, he's so cool. He's so fucking cute. What about lower? Oh, yeah.
Let's do that. Well, since in the spirit of two Dean's past and present,
your favorite part?
We're going to talk about four ways to talk to your future self today. Okay. Okay. That
was a little flurry.
It was well, I will redo it because that was on me because I was trying to say something but reading at the same time and not following really anyway. So we are going to talk about four ways to talk to your spouse. I keep wanting to say self before future that's the problem. Four ways to talk to your future self today.
Okay, there.
And as I was reading this, I was like, wow, I really need to do All these things, do we really talk to myself a lot nicer. Future Me
is gonna hate me self talk is so important. It's
the way in which we treat ourselves now speaks to us in the future, the way we take care of our bodies, the way we nourish our friendships, the way we speak to our own thoughts and reactions. And the ways we acknowledge our emotions, with or without judgment will play a role in how we and how we are and who we will be. And all of these things affect our self worth our self esteem, our motivation, and how we gauge our own abilities as we move forward with whatever life brings us
that kind of makes me think about when they were having that conversation. And current dean said, I would never sacrifice my friends and future Dean when you're right. You wouldn't.
Yeah, because you haven't seen the chips. Yeah, yet. Alright, so just these are some examples that they they bring up that's like you spend hours obsessing in your mind about how much you hate something about yourself and your future self might start to truly believe that when you decide in the moment that staying up late won't matter that much in the
morning. And then you find out how much the morning you hates the let's just watch five more flashback episodes to say by the note Bell night version of you. I do that all the time. Setting high unattainable, unrealistic expectations about what you should accomplish tomorrow or by next month. And watch your future self feel deflated, defeated and depressed. When it doesn't happen. And we all do these things. Oh, hell, yeah. Time is always constant change in motion. But time doesn't
grant wishes. Unless your wishes to be exactly where you are now feeling the exact same way. We have to speak to our future self through our actions and our thoughts right now.
Like in the evenings, from winding down and everything, I'll be like, Okay, I'm gonna go to bed early. And tomorrow, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to do this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and I like hype myself up. I'm going to have like a perfect date. Tomorrow is going to be wonderful. And then I get distracted. And next thing I know, I've stayed up too late. And then I rush myself through my bedtime routine. And I lay down, I'm like, tomorrow is
going to be wonderful. And then I wake up and I'm like, Not today. Not today. No, today is going to be bad.
I'm really bad about like, I'll sit there like lay down to go to sleep. And then I'll start like planning my day in my head for the next day. And then I start to get anxiety. Like, and then I'm like, Oh, my heart's palpitating right now what's happening? And then I'm like, Oh, good. Sending myself into a panic attack about tomorrow. Feel sad. Okay. Anyway, let's figure out how we can fix that. Yes, yes, let me tell you. Please, write. So we have to
start today. If we want to feel better about tomorrow, it says, okay, but it also means that we have the ability to feel better tomorrow. And for the rest of our lives through daily choices we make like these four steps. Yay. Number one. Practice a daily self care routine. That just makes sense. Instead of saying that you're going to accomplish 100 things each and every day after you had five cups of coffee and are in the best mood of your life. Get
realistic. Use that sugar high and adrenaline rush to think about what you can actually accomplish on a daily basis to make your life feel regulated, routine and less chaotic. What I can do though, is make my life way easier by going to bed at a decent time. Actually choosing a time and sticking to it, setting the coffee so that it's ready whenever you get up, organizing your makeup and not fumbling through it in the morning, hanging your keys by the door where they're always going to be
so you know where they are. So you're not searching for your keys in the morning when you're late. Choosing simple routines to stick with up says to your future self. I care about the big picture just as much as I care about the moment. And I want life to be easy for us. Sweet.
It is sweet.
Number two, choose words that encourage yourself instead of criticizing every single day. Feel like it's speaking to me. Okay, so these were some of the examples. Oh, I'm nowhere near as good as so and so I really have no idea what I'm doing. I suck. I wish I was like them. No, this is a joke. I'm not good at that. I am so dumb. We say these things to ourselves that we'd never dream of saying to someone else. You're going to be with you for the rest of your life and your body, in your mind
in your shoes. So why talk down to yourself when you are the most important relationship you'll ever have? It's true. Okay, number three, write a letter to your future self. This one actually lets you talk directly to your future self. And this person who wrote wrote this article said that they've been using this website future me. You choose a date in the future and you write your heart
out to yourself. But they cautioned that just like we talked about like you don't write to your future self in a way that you that will make you feel completely defeated. If you Don't make something happen. I think her example was like she told that she was like congratulating herself for like losing 40 pounds. So then when that date came around and she like read it like it defeated her because it had you had been Yeah. So it's like you got to be
realistic. They gave some prompts for different ideas to write to yourself like what is today like whether something funny that happened current mood, what do you love about yourself? What do you want your future self to know what is something about yourself, you never want to forget. list off the reasons you're happy list off some goals, realistic ones, talk about something you're struggling with. And chances are by the time you read it, hopefully that's been solved and
moved on. Ask your future self first. Or, whoa, ask your future self for a favor. I'm having a real hard time with future and self.
Want. That's fine. As future self will forgive you for that
list of your current currently great what you're currently grateful for. And number four, promote your qualities instead of showcasing your assumed flaws. Avoid self deprecation, and no one wants to be the person that gloats about their abilities or accomplishments. But being able to confidently confidently express something you've accomplished, how you feel, or something you're proud of is a
great thing. When other people see you shining in your own confidence and basking in the happiness that comes with it. They are more likely to celebrate with you instead of you know awkwardly trying to tell you that whatever negative comment you made about yourself isn't true. That's it.
But I have a question about this whole routine thing. What about those mornings when you wake up? And your bed is like the perfect temperature?
All right, you gotta get out of it. Now go do your shit.
But what if my future self is mad at me for not basking in that moment?
I guess they don't think that your future self will. But just Yeah.
All right. Well, the close it out. We have a quote from Castile. When he was talking to Dean on the phone. He said this isn't funny, Dean. The voice says I'm almost out of minutes.
