Let's Talk This Out - West Elm Caleb | Jay Shetty

goes with the market, which makes no sense. At one point I tried to check my stock portfolio app, and my app was just like, maybe go play some wordle buddy. It's not a good day. Actually, you know what, I feel bad for all the Wall Street guys who jumped out of the window at noon because the market rebounded and it came up higher at the end of the day. So now you know there's at least like one guy

who jumped out of the window. And then it's like, man, you gotta wait till the end of the day to kill yourself, fellas, you never know what the market is gonna do. Imagine jumping out the window and you're like and then as you're falling down the building, you're looking in the windows of your building. Then you're seeing the thing go up and you oh no, no, I'm rich. I'm rich. Yeah, but that happens to down the stock markets,

and I think it's rebounded. They said it ended higher than where it started in the day, which must be terrifying for people's money because we always think about this from our perspective as humans. But imagine how your money feels. The stock market is like a roller coaster for your money. And you're not terrifying that ship is. You just put your money in there. You don't even think about your money. Your money buys you food, your money buys you shelter,

and you don't give a ship. You're just like, yeah, money go to the stock market, and then your money is just that terrified. I'm down, I'm up, I'm less, I'm more. It's terrifying. I do that on purpose though, with my money. I put my money in the stock market just so that it appreciates my bank account more. Then when my money comes back to my bank accounts, like yo, Trev, I'm never going to talk about this.

And again, man, it's coming to you from the heart of times in New York City, the only city in America. It's the daily. Here's the tonight, the playoffs in overtime Ticktik's new villain day sty. This is the Daily Show with Trevor no Hey. What's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and joining me for today's headlines is our very own Daisi Light. What's TV? I missed you? You know I'm making the most of my January. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm doing dry January actually,

and I feel great. I feel really good. It's hard, but you know, I'm just like drinking a ton of water, dropping a little lst every night, taking the edge off. So far, I feel awesome. The whole point I think is to you know what, good for you, Daisy, Thank you, thank you. I'm really proud, completely sober. All right, let's jump right into today's headlines. We kick things off with the NFL sports so good, we totally forgot about the brain damage. Now. This weekend had some absolutely crazy NFL

playoff games. I mean, football hasn't seen anything this exciting since that Super Bowl where the Patriots accidentally took on a Puppy Bowl team. You remember that, yo, Those puppies got blown out and for all four games this weekend. If you didn't stick around till the very end. You basically missed the entire thing. There may have never been another playoff weekend like the one that you saw this weekend.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills capped off one of the wildest weekends of football of all time, with all four games decided on the final play. Remarkable. The Chiefs and Bill scored a combined twenty five points over the final two minutes of regulation, with the lead changing

three times. Buffalo went ahead with thirteen seconds remaining after Josh Allen's fourth touchdown pass of the game, all of them to Gabriel Davis down the middle, but Patrick Holmes led the Chiefs down the field to set up a forty nine yard field of goal to send the game into overtime. Kansas City won the coin toss and marched downfield. Mahomes connected with Travis Kelsey to secure their spot in the a f C Championship game to the end zone for the wind. He caught it, Yes, yes, he caught it.

He caught it. Did you see that? Oh man, he caught it. It was so great to see and it's also so great to hear someone say he caught it and it's not about o Macron. Wow, for real, guys, that game it was incredible. It was incredible, all the games were I was so amped up I had trouble

going to bed afterwards. It was a huge problem. In fact, I think when the NFL is a game like this on Sunday nights, like they should think about us people who need to go to sleep, you know, they should like maybe always a New York Jets game afterwards, just to help you relax, you know. Yeah. Oh, and you know what else they need to do in the NFL. They need to get rid of the sudden death room. Okay, Like if one team scores, the other team should have a chance to respond. We did this in soccer a

long time ago. We So it's not fair, Like what's the rush? No one is watching an NFL playoff game in overtime thinking this is the most exciting part of the game. Oh, I hope it ends soon. And also to base the possession on a coin, flip, who came up with this? It's not fair, it's archaic. Instead of a coin, they should switch to krypto. Yeah, both teams get a bitcoin and then whichever side can explain why it's not a scam. They get to go first. I

think that's more fair. Although honestly, I think this game shouldn't have even gone into overtime. You're telling me that the Bill's defense couldn't have held on for thirteen seconds. Thirteen seconds, I've had thoughts that lasts longer than that. And yes, Mark Guy, I have seen a doctor about it, and yeah, he does have some serious concerns. But that's not the point. I will say this. I think you can accomplish a lot in thirteen seconds. Thirteen seconds is

a great amount of time. It's a right amount of time that you should spend with your kid every day. It's exactly the amount of time that the CDC says you should wash your hands. It's exactly the amount of time that you should spend before sending a tweet out like thinking about it. Yeah, Like you'd be surprised how much you could do in thirteen seconds, don't you think. I don't think I've ever changed my mind about something in thirteen seconds? Well, I don't know you could. The

corn the coin flip thing I'm with you on. Though it does not belong in football, does not belong in it could belong in other things like I did flip a coin to figure out which vaccine I should take. It was like heads, I do Fiser, tails, I do Maderna. If the coin drops into the sewer, I do J and J. So I got visor. But it really could have gone in a different d oh Man J J. Yeah, I should maybe figure out a different system for doing stuff like that. Oh, all right, let's move on to

a team that hopefully has a better defense than the Bills. Ukraine. Four months now, tensions have been building on the border of Ukraine, as Russia has sent one hundred thousand troops to the region, and now it's looking like war could break out at any time. With Russian troops massing along Ukraine's northern, southern, and eastern borders. Europe now teetering on the brink of war, US officials ordering the evacuation of

family members of US embassy staff in Ukraine. The order comes as tensions mount in the region, with some fearing of Russian invasion could come at any time. Despite consistent denials by the Kremlin. Now the New York Times reporting that President Biden is weighing sending thousands of US troops, warships and aircraft to Eastern Europe. Secretary of State Anthony

Blincoln reaffirming US support for the Ukrainian government. If a single additional Russian force goes into Ukraine in any aggressive way, as I said, that would trigger a swift, a severe and the United response from US and from Europe. Yeah, you heard the man. Russia better not enter Ukraine in an aggressive way. But if the whole army just kind of shimmies in, though, that will be kind of cute. You know, We'll let that slide. Exkills me, skills me,

coming through, the coming through, the come through police. And look, those are strong words from America's Secretary of State. But if I'm a Ukrainian, probably gonna hedge my bets. You know, I'll look at what happened with Afghanistan and I'll book my seats on that evacuation flight now. And this isn't just about Ukraine, by the way, many countries, many countries are worried about what this war could mean for the

entire region, help even for the entire world. It could spiral out into a bigger war like World War three. And personally, I don't think America is ready to fight Russia over Ukraine. I mean, America has been fighting brown people for so long, doesn't even remember how to fight white people. At least Ukraine has time to prepare, though. And that's the thing about war these days. The elements of surprise is gone. And you've got a satellite. You

see them hundred thousand Russians at your border. Back in the old days you could launch a surprise attack, but now you send troops to the other border. Ways. Just tell is everybody, Hey, the Russian army is causing slowdowns on your route, so you probably want to avoid the freeway. The thing I don't get is why Russia even once Ukraine so badly, Like, what do you want? Have you seen a map of Russia? Just just go to Siberia. There's a Ukraine sized piece of land with one guy

living on it. You don't even have to fight Ukraine. You can just fight Dmitri. I know why Russia is doing this. They're doing it because we're in between James bonds right now. I mean, who's gonna stop Russia if it's not for having one British alcoholic guy. We gotta pick a bond, Gotta pick a bond. I would have never thought of that as being the reason. But it's true. We are bondless. We're bondless. It's not that hard. We gotta pick someone. I think it is hard. I mean

there's so many of them. Well yeah, but we've got a lot of great choices. You could do it. Are you putting it? You could do it? No, I couldn't see. Yes you could. I don't like I don't like vodka. Well you can vake it though. It's a part. It's an acting role you can do. And I saw that Shimmy can fake drinking vodka because if you you when you drink it, it's like it's stool. You taste it and then you like, I throw up. Try a little LSD. You could be a dry bond, but then replace it

with LSD. Oh, I like that. I'll call your agents. Thank you, Dasy, You're welcome. I'll take my LSD shaken, we'll workshop it. Okay, let's move on from a wall that might never start to one that never ends. The battle over COVID vaccines After what shoes should Eminem's wear? Asking whether vaccines are good is literally the dumbest thing people can fight about, but they are fighting, and yesterday, thousands of people held a rally in Washington, d C.

To hear why vaccine mandates are worse that Hitler. In the nation's capital, Sunday, demonstrators gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, many voicing opposition to the COVID nineteen vaccine, others protesting vaccine mandates. Among the speakers Robert Kennedy Jr. Sonator Mayte, New York Senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Well, we're saying today is what I call turnkey totalitarianism. They are putting in place all of these technical, technological mechanisms

for control, and we've never seen before. Even in Hitler, Germany. You could you could cross the out Toto Switzerland. You can hide in an attic like and Frank die. Yeah, the man is right. Who could argue? No one ever talks about how good and Frank had its free room and board all the time in the world to write pretty short deal. If you ask me, I will say, though crazy is relative because RFK maybe saying wild ship about the Holocaust, but off the people he's talking to,

don't he and believe the Holocaust happened? And just standing there like and Frank, and realize this guy was such a liberal. Oh my god, It's like every family has that one loose cannon, like just a total embarrassment. Every family has that, although I have to say I don't think there's one in my family. Everyone is pretty normal, not like one major embarrassment. So, oh my god, am I the embarrassment? Am I the one? Oh god, I'm

the chet Hanks shit? So I better not put out that rap video Patma was getting so good deleted anyway, I'm sorry you found that out on TV? Dizzy are we on TV? Alright? Finally, let's talk about movie trailers. It's a question asked myself all the time, to be honest, aren't Finally let's talk about movie trailers. They're the free sample that the theater hands out so that hopefully you buy the whole movie momently. Trailers are a simple thing that we watched and then we move on with our lives.

But now some people are very upset about a trailer that promised more than it could deliver. Well. Two fans of actress Anna day Arms have filed a federal class action lawsuit against Universal. They say the actress was not in the final cut of the movie Yesterday, although she appeared in the trailer. The student accuses Universal of engaging and accepted marketing techniques, false advertisement and just enrichment and violating competition laws. The suit sinks to recover at least

five million dollars. Hell yeah, give these people there five million dollars. Give it to them. This ship drives me crazy. Man. Let me tell you something. This happens all the time, and nobody does anything about this. They have trailers that have nothing to do with the just put things in and then I go there, Like there's a badass scene in the trailer for Liquorice Pizza right with Lee Cooper is doing some kung fu smashing thing with like car

windows got like a pair of squeegees. But that doesn't happen in the movie. Never happens. The whole movie I was waiting for it never happened. I didn't step through the credits to see if like it comes off towards nothing. I mean, Samuel Jackson came out and he recruited everyone for the Avengers, but otherwise nothing about the car windows. That's the problem with movie trailers. They all go too far in one direction or another. They either showing me

the stuff that's not in the movie. Oh, they're showing me the entire movie. First they fell in love, but then they broke up, but then they reunited on the Eiffel Tower. That's the big finality. You never see it coming, except we just showed it to you, so you will this summer. Stop doing that. Just pique my interest. That's it,

I will say. At the same time, though, five million dollars is a big penalty, and if the movie studios should have pay five million dollars for this, like, I think it would be enough to just give them a free popcorn at the next movie, you know, but making a large popcorn because the lawyers they're gonna take two thirds of it. Yeah, that's how all works. But there should be some punishment for lying to your audience about

who's in your movie. I'd just get away with that, or there's no punishment than fine, but then I should get to do it too. Yeah, make sure to stick around from my exclusive interview with the Ghost of Princess Diana coming up next. I feel if we're gonna sue movie trailers for anything, it should be for destroying our favorite childhood songs. They always like put in some creepy, slowed down version of a kid's song, like yeah, right,

Like they're like ring around the roasy. I'm like, great, thanks for ruining my favorite childhood song of people dying in the plague, destroyed it forever. They're like from the creators of soul. It's head shoulders, kneeds intols crazy. It's awful. You better hope they don't reboot Jaws. It'll be like

baby Shark, do do Do do? That song became very creepy when you sang it slower, trying getting that out of your head for the rest of the day, just like someone walking through if someone was singing there at night in my house really like do do do do? Do do? That's terrifying. Actually, yeah, I got nightmares about it. It could be the LSD. But you should never mind. All right, When we come back, we'll talk about west Elm Caleb and why social media is the best place

to hash out your drama. You don't want to miss it, do you guys? Do you guys see this thing about West Elm Caleb. Has anybody seen the story? It's a huge story that like it has it blew up. It's weird. It started on TikTok, and then it got bigger and it went from it went from TikTok to like tabloids, and then from tabloids it went to like newspapers and like you know, the New York Times, and everyone wrote

about it. The longest short of the story is, um, there's a woman on TikTok who posted a story about a bad date that she had with a guy named Caleb. Then other women saw that video and they thought she was talking about another Caleb, and then they were like, oh, yeah, we met Caleb, and she's like, well, not that Caleb. But they were like, but what is who's this Caleb? And so that there's a Caleb who apparently worked at West Elm, the furniture place, And then these women were

not like, yeah, this Caleb is a dick. What he did was he took me on a date and then went on a bunch of dates with me and then ghosted me and disappeared. And then I don't know if like one of the women or the other one was like he also sent unsolicited dick picks. And this became a huge but it became huge online, like I mean massive, right, And then what happened was like one of the women's videos went really viral and she she put up Caleb's

face and his name and everything. So people tracked him down, found his workplace, started threatening like West Elm, like about like furniture and ship and him and then um and then like he's he's gone. Now the guys like basically had to go deep undercover. He's just gone. He's a six ft four white boy named Caleb and he's gone. And he answered this, and this became a huge story in line because people were like, yeah, he got what he deserved. You know, this is terrible what he did

to to two women and whatever. And I was I was going, I was watching the story of all over the weekend, and you know what was what was going through my was First of all, I was thinking, like, it's amazing how much coverage he got from ghosting. He didn't do anything like super bad. From what the people are saying, unsilic is unsolicited. Dick Picks will talk about obviously that's bad, but I'm saying he he just ghosted.

And then the guy's viral on every newspaper in the country, And all I kept thinking was the wagers in China, they should go to someone I've never seen them get this much coverage. Yeah, just like ghost a few people and then all of a sudden, everyone's gonna be talking about you, you know. But it was wild to me that like this thing became such a big story considering it was like a private date and a private convers and don't get it. Don't get it. I'm not blaming

women who went on dates for anything. It's like a commentary on the culture that we live in, do you know what I mean? But I felt like, I don't know if I was the only person I was going have we lost the ability to go on bad dates? Is that' not a thing anymore? Yeah? Because I go like, if you if you have a bad date, you're allowed to feel upset about it, right, and you should be

able to talk about it. I mean you and you should be able to roast, Like if you went on a date with a ship guy, roast him all you want, Like that's in the constitution. I think the whole point of dating is so that you can talk ship about bad dates. Like that's why you go on dates, because you want to get those stories about how ship the dates were, you know. Otherwise, what's the point of dating you like trying to find love. That's boring. You don't love is like what you want at the end, but

you want the bad dates stories along the way. That's why you're dating. Otherwise you just do an arranged marriage that you just go straight in. No stories, you know what I'm saying. But now, like what what was weird to me with the story is like these people are sharing stories that I personally felt you would share with your friends, right, but now they're sharing them on social media, like, oh, this is what happened to me personally in my life.

And then social media jumps on because the algorithm takes the story which is like a funny story because I should also include the woman who had like one of the most viral videos. She came out after and she's like, oh, I didn't want Caleb to get death threats. I thought I was just telling a funny story two people on TikTok, which she was. But then the algorithm goes like a conflict, you know, it's like the conflict monster, and then it put it out to the world and then the world

was like, we don't see anything funny. Caleb must die. They're like west Alvim Caleb must die and I love that that was his thing. Tabloids everyone was like west Alvim Caleb, west Alm Caleb, everyone, which is shitty in my opinion. I I do not know west Elm Caleb. I have no affiliation with west Elm Caleb. I do not care for him. He's some random six and four white boy. I don't care. But maybe that's part of the reason it's fashionable to dunk on him because he's

a straight white guy. So people are like, I get him, but I still go, he's a human being. We haven't heard his side of the story and people can just ship on him, and I don't think it's fair. I genuinely don't think it's fair that, like like internet mobs just jump on you like this and then your job. The ship went to his job. Imagine how your boss is there and he's like good sales quarter, you know, but the streets are saying you're a boy. No one

deserves that, and west Elm doesn't deserve this. It's poor. People are trying to sell furniture. Next thing, their phones are ringing off the hook. They mustn't be like, oh, ship, dads are working when they pick up the Hello, what no no, I won't forward your bomb to Caleb, thank you, And it's like this. The story for me was like the perfect encapsulation of all the things that are great about social media, but then also on the downsides of

social media. And part of it was a lot of the language that people were using because they were saying what Caleb does because apparently he sent some of the women the same playlist that he sent the other women, but he called them different names, and so they were like, oh, he's gas lighting us. I was like, no, that's just recycling game, you know what I mean? That that's most people have limited game. I don't know why everyone thinks

they're fancy. Most people. Everything you think that's unique about a person, they've done to everybody else that they've met. Oh, well, is it just me? Or are you Yeah, you've done this many times. There's nothing spontaneous about anybody. They've done all the ship that you've met, them doing every sexual position, every everything. Do you know what I mean? They're not

gaslighting you. And then they were saying he's loved bombing, which if I understand correctly, means he was he like like just he piled it on thick at the beginning and then just disappeared after it. So he was like, I like you, I like you, I like your texting, texting, texting. Then he disappeared, and they were like, that's love bombing. And here's the thing. I'm glad that people are going

to therapy. I'm going to therapy. Everyone's going to therapy, but we should be careful to bring the therapy speak into life because we are not therapists, you know what I mean. I don't know if this is love bombing. I think this is human nature. We get obsessed with the thing when it's new. We love using it, and that's it. When I was young, my mom bought me a fire truck. I drove the ship out of that fire truck like the whole house was burning for a week.

And then I didn't use the fire truck. My mom didn't come and be like you love bombing that fire truck. She's just like you, you got bored. The thing is not what you know what I mean. And then they're like, this is abuse. This is a form of abuse. Look, man, I take abuse really seriously. I think we all should, you know, But I don't think all rejection is abuse. Life is about getting rejected. Unfortunately, for everyone to get a yes, someone had to get a note, every one

of us here. The fact that you're in a relationship with someone is because other people rejected them or rejected you. That's the only reason we get there. Life is about rejection. People have a right to reject you. It's ships, but they have a right to reject you, you know, all of these things, like people. It's like, now we're living in a world where people are like, oh, no, I you know, I don't have a right to not feel good. No, that's I don't want you to not feel good. But

people have a right to reject you. In fact, ghosting it's not as bad as people think because the person is sending you a message. By not sending you a message, you know what I mean, Like, I've never been ghosted and being like, but how do they feel about me? That's what do they telling you? They're telling you He's like, I don't know how they feel about the Yeah, you know how that? You know what I mean. The only people who don't understand ghosting is those automatic services that

text you. Then they say reply stop. If you want to stop getting these messages, please reply stop. You know, so I don't know. I think it was unfair for west ELM Caleb because look, I get, I get what that woman was doing. She was telling a funny story online. I don't think she should have included his face. I don't think she should have included his name. You can tell the story and it will be just as funny without telling. You could even calling furniture boy. And that's

a great name, furniture boy. Great, you know. But then I think a society as well, we need to calm down with just being these like you know, we're not even like detectives. We just jump into viral mobs. We don't know the people. We don't know the full story, all right. All we know is that strangers are having drama and then before you know it, we just decided

to insert ourselves. And I always think to myself, before you insert yourself in any drama like this, ask yourself if that's what you would want strangers doing to you. Just ask yourself that question. That's just my opinion on it, you know, And and please, I know, people, I'm not talking about the dick pics. Just to be clear, I'm not including that unsolicited dick picks are never okay, never okay, dick picks in general, people, I don't know why anyone

is sending dick picks. All right, They're not cool, do you know what I mean? Like, have you ever seen the statue of David even there Michael Njelo was like giant statue dick. No, hen just he's like, you're doing this thing now. Dicks are not like, they're not cool. No one's days ever made better by an unexpected dick pick.

You know, no one's ever like girls really depressed. But then it's so very he's dick, and I thought, you know what, everything's gonna be okay, Like if a woman wants to see your dick, she will ask you for a picture, or she'll watch Euphoria. It's like a dick of minutes in that show, which is great. Don't send your dick to anybody. Nobody, nobody's days made better by you randomly sending them your dick. Have you seen veenuses? Look like depressed old men who wants to see your dick?

So that's west down kid. Oh, by the way, did I tell you about the dates I had with the restoration hard Way Heather, Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is Mindfulness Experts Jay Shetty. He's here to talk about his new partnership with the meditation app Calm. Welcome to the day. Thanks for having me. Many people see your face and they go like, I know this guy.

I know him from Instagram. Maybe you know I know him from having conversations with Oprah, with Ellen or you you very quick, they have become the face of I mean Calm for many people. You know and and and You've talked about thinking like a monk your New York Times best selling book. So I wanted to know this. Number one, what does a monk think like? I know it's in the whole book. What does a monk think like? And secondly, when was the last time you got angry?

So one of the first things that I realized when I trained to become a monk is that monks are very normal there. We're all normal people. They come from normal backgrounds. They weren't born monks like you don't come out of the womb as a month and so a big part of that was learning new mindsets. So we were on a seventy two hour train journey from the north of India to the south of India. Now, as a monk, you don't travel in first class, you don't

travel in economy. You travel in the lowest class possible. So we're on the train. Wait why, because you're trying to have as least attachment to your surroundings and at least least desires. Now, I stopped at the different stops, I get off and I meditate. I get back on the train and my teacher notices that, and he says to me, why are you not meditating on the train? And he said, well, all, I said, it's so hectic

on the train, but the stop is peaceful. So I get off at the stop, I do my meditation, and I get get back on. And he said, do you think life is peaceful like the stop or is it difficult like the train? And you know, I'm not like my first week of monk training right now, And I said, I think it's difficult like the train. He said, well, that's where you practice how to meditate. So that's how monks think. Monks think, how can we be in the chaos, be in the clutter, but still look for stillness in

that time? So when was the last time you got angry? The last time I got angry would have to be probably like a month ago, were you angry about I think it was angry because I didn't get the Christmas gift. I wanted the opposite, the opposite. Would your monk teachers say about that, they'd be very, very disappointed. Okay, okay, So this this is an interesting life that you've lived, j because I mean, you decided, you know what, I'm not gonna go straight into business. I'm gonna go to

to the world of being a monk. What stopped you from continuing the monk life? You know, like, don't most monks call like I don't want for anything, I don't need anything, no attachment, And that's what it feels like. You've gone opposite, You've gone monk. But then I also don't mind bawling. So most of my friends are still monks, and a lot of them have continued to be lifelong monks.

And for me, it was a purpose. The way we were trained was that the greatest gift, or the greatest focus of a human is how can I serve others? How can I best help others and serve others? And so when I shared this doubt that I had with my teachers, they said to me, Jay, we feel the same way. We feel that you'd better serve if you were to move on. I think that was a nice way of saying with you, Yeah, that seems like you it's me relationship breaker. But but they agreed with me.

And now when I still go and study with my teachers, or I meet with them, or I travel with them, it's really beautiful to see how they've continued with that completely detached lifestyle. But they're so kind and gracious with how they allow me to be my true self and allow me to serve in that way. And I think that's what we're all looking for. We're looking to be accepted for who we truly are, to accept ourselves, but to use what we've been given to serve and help others.

Let's talk a little bit about the Calm app then. I think we all want to become more present. We all want to be less shaken by the world every single day. And then you get apps on your phone that are helping you to disconnect from your phone and find the calm, Like there is a paradox in that, and you're teaming up with Calm now to to to essentially curate experiences around mindfulness. Is that in and of itself not a paradox or we're not living in a

world where you should be going like, no phones. I'm just gonna email you guys something that you can read once and then you're gonna know how to meditate. It's a massive paradox. I mean, Trevor, if you're ready to come with me to India tomorrow and we're gonna pack our bags three months, not use our phones, we'll do a little retreat together. I'm in I would do that if you people here didn't pay me. That's a problem for everyone now. And so I understand that people can't

just leave. They can't just stop. Everyone has bills to pay, everyone has lives to lead, everyone has children or family or whatever it may be. So I think we have to meet people where they are. And to me, that's what the appstitude there's you're meeting someone where they are in the world, that they understand, in the world, that

they can contextualize. And if we can create a platform whereby for seven minutes a day, you're using your phone to invest in yourself, you're using your phone to take time for yourself, then I think that's a great starting point, and that's what it is. What do you think the biggest misconception around meditation is I think the biggest misconception or our meditation is that you have to change what you're wearing, you have to change where you're sitting, and

that you have to silence the mind. I think people are trying to quiet their mind. They're trying to stop everything from happening. And meditation is not about stopping. It's about observing, it's about sitting with it's about understanding, it's about being curious. You now live in I mean the hearts of capitalism. You know, it's the exact of what you did for three years in India. You know, there's money, there's money to be made. There's a balance between giving

a thing and getting a thing in return. I even think about this with like meditation and therapy. Sometimes I go, it's amazing that the thing most people need the most is the thing that you have to pay for, So, like, how do you balance that conundrum in a world where you're trying to do for others, but then it seems like sometimes it can only be for something in exchange. Yeah, one of the biggest things that I've definitely tried to do, and that's why the partnership with Calm is awesome. Is

we've tried to provide the service at scale. So right now, if you sign up, you can sign up for forty two dollars for the whole year. Okay, so that's like three and a half dollars a month, right, Like, that's the average. So it's fully accessible. We've tried to make it as affordable and accessible for each and every human

on the planet because that's the true desire. But the way I grappulate with that is I really enjoy being in the battle and realizing how weak I am and seeing my ego arise, seeing my attachment of money come through, and then having to process it and work on it, rather than be so removed that I believe I'm pure.

So I'd rather be reminded of my flaws and impurities and have to grapple with that on a daily basis to make me hold on to higher ideals, then be so far removed from them that I walk around feeling like I've conquered my mind, but in reality, I haven't. So I really enjoyed that paradox. Man, It's quite the paradox um I could talk to you for hours about this, but thank you so much for joining me on the show,
