Hey team, welcome to another episode of Team Not Tired. I'm Ashley. And I'm Shereen Crawford. And we've got a really special episode for you guys today. If you will recall, we decided that anytime there's a month where there are three Tuesdays, right? Because we usually will release episodes on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Anytime there's a fifth Tuesday, we are going to do an episode that's called our team rally. And we're going to talk about things that we are tired of. And so today we are going to hear from Shireen and I, really quick spurts. We're going to have a minute each to basically rant about things we're tired of. Yes. Shireen, are you ready to kick us off? I'm so ready because I love, love what I'm talking about today. All right. I'm going to set one minute on the clock. Okay. And you are going to tell us. And hopefully, if you're listening, some of this is going to resonate with you, or you're going to already start to build up your own mental list of things that you're tired of. But Sharine, tell me one minute on the clock, something today that you are just tired of.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

Okay. One thing that I'm incredibly tired of is people leaving their trash out in public shared spaces. Oh no. If you're at a park, clean up your trash. If you're in an airplane and you put stuff in the pocket and like the stewardess walks up and down that aisle, she's doing the her thing. He's doing his thing. They're literally saying out loud, trash, trash, all the way down. Like how annoying. And then after you exit said plane, there's all trash. It's just so invigorating. Or like when people walk over trash. And don't get me wrong, like there are things you should not be picking up, right? But if I see a leader, like especially my field of work, who is in their own building in their own store, owning their own business, and they walk over trash, I will pick it up so fast and be so mad. And then that pretty much clues people in to pick up your trash. Okay, I did it. One minute. One minute.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Very nice. Oh my goodness. Very passionate about it. So note to self don't leave anything out when I'm hanging out with Shereen. Or in my car. Pick up after yourself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Don't leave trash in my car. Did you hear that, producer Bleak? It's not even him, it's my children. That's awesome. All right, Ashley. Okay. One minute on the clock to tell us something that you are tired of.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Here we go. I am so I think you can tell that Shereen and I have recently traveled together because I have discovered that one of my pet peeves, the thing I am most tired of, is poor sidewalk etiquette. If you are walking, if you are walking down a shared public sidewalk or a trail or an escalator or a hallway, and someone is coming towards you and there's not enough room, 30 seconds. It's very appropriate to move, to move out of the way, to make space. Like it is not a foreign concept. It is not hard. And when people are like coming at you, two, you know, two people together, and they just don't move a muscle or acknowledge and expect you to move out of the way. I think it's a larger issue of pride, of the demise of our culture. I mean, it it gets me hot.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

I I can feel the the fuego.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

You're very hot about this topic. I love it. I am. It's just common courtesy to certain like think about other people. Be a good citizen. I'm tired of it. I agree. That's a great one. All right, Sharina. I'm resetting the clock. You have one minute. Tell me something else that you are tired of.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

One thing I'm very tired of. I'm I'm not really like a sweets girl, but when I am, you know what I do not like? Do not ever get me this. Like, if be if you truly know me, do not buy me black licorice. Okay. So there are two camps of people that either are for black licorice that absolutely love it. And then there's people who are right.

unknown 5:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

There's no gray area.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

There is no one's neutral on black licorice. Absolutely not. Like, excuse me as I vomit for the next 20 seconds because it's disgusting. Blah. Why are we eating it? It's disgusting. And okay, I'm very specific. Don't hand me a Twizzler. Okay. That's plastic. Hand me a red vine, please. What? Yeah, disgusting. Blah. I can't tell the difference. Oh my. You need help.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Okay. Okay, that's one minute. No black licorice for Sharine ever. Got it. Ever. Not even like good. I told you this. I like I will eat good and plenty because they've got the little candy shell.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

I know it's good and plenty for you. Okay. More for me.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

More for me.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

All right, Ashley.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

Okay. Minute on the clock.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

Speaking of food, we have a theme here. Perfect. First round was travel. Second round is food. Okay. Okay. One minute on the clock. Yep. I am so tired of protein maxing. I am so tired of my algorithm telling me how much I should be eating protein every minute of every day. And I'm so tired of walking through grocery stores and seeing items for sale that shouldn't have protein. Like protein chips? What?

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Those are delicious.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

Pro no. Protein water? Like pro like no. I am so tired of eating protein, of being told to eat protein. That is important. It's I'm so tired of it. What if I just want to eat fruits and vegetables? Let me live. Let me like just stop. Eating enough protein to match my body weight every day is so exhausting. And I know I'm a woman of a certain age, but I'm over it. No more. No more with the protein. I'm so tired of trying to think about how much protein I've eaten that day. You're over time. But you know what you're not over? Protein. I definitely haven't hit my goal today. Oh man. That's probably why I'm so animated. It's probably. Because I'm maybe I'm hangry because I haven't had enough protein. Maybe. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:37

Round three. Okay. Round three. Last round. Last round. Are you ready? Yeah, I was born ready. What else are you tired of, Sheree? I am tired of one more thing. And what I mean by this is like, I've done all the things. Nobody has needed me for like the last hour, what have you. But the minute I sit down to read my book, open the page, and it's getting to a good part of every book. Every time. Then my sweet baby doll children that I love so much ask me for things. And then I get it for them. And then literally within seconds, it's like they're obsessed with me or something. They come back for more. I know they love me so much. But it's one more thing that I have to like get up and do. And all I want to do is just read my book because I just like need that time to like regroup. Of course. So my mental load is done. I'm tired of one more thing.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

I feel like that could also be called I'm tired of reading the same paragraph 20 times. You have no idea. The word count I've reread.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

All right, Ashley, bring us home. One minute on the clock. What's the last thing you want to tell us about that you're tired of?

SPEAKER_01 9:07

Last minute on the clock. And this is a little bit more serious. We're gonna end on a serious note today. I have to.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

Of course.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

I am really tired of watching and hearing women complain but not actually take action to change anything that they're complaining about. Okay, tell more. I think so many women take to social media or to their friends these days and find anything and everything to complain about. And yet I don't see a lot of women taking action. They just really want to sit in this. Yeah, they want to sit in the stink. And so I'm tired of it. Like, don't tell me you're lonely when you won't join a group. Oh yeah. Like, don't tell me you're unfulfilled when you won't serve or like chase the dream and the vision that God's given you and actually put feet to your faith. Don't tell me you're unhappy, but you're not willing to change anything about your lifestyle, your circumstances, or you're not willing to get off social media. Like I'm oh, I went over time. Again, I'm three for three today. I just I'm tired of it. Don't complain and not be willing to change to not change. I mean don't complain and not be willing to change something.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

I would agree. I would a hundred percent agree. Because like if you want friends, you have to you have to do something, you have to engage, you have to do something. Oh my gosh, well, I I know we could go go on about other things that we're tired of, but I'm pretty sure we will have more episodes to come on this particular fun stuff. And we want to hear from you guys. What are you tired of? And give us like a small little rant. Like we can't, we're not alone in this. We want to know what and who is sharing their little rant with us because we want to know who's on the team so we can collectively, you know, engage together in this and not gift me black licorice. Or if you're walking up towards Ashley, you know, no chicken, she's gonna be so amicable and go and off to the side.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

But, you know, yeah, it's always fun. We would love to hear from you guys for the for the next rally episode, something that you're tired of that maybe we can talk about or features. So reach out to us on social media. You know, somebody asked me the other day, they were like, You you mention a lot on your episodes asking us to leave a comment or review. And I was able to clarify for her, if you listen on Apple, you can leave a review or a rating. If you listen on Spotify, you can actually comment on individual episodes. So either way you listen, Apple, Spotify, and we'd love to hear from you friends, and we're so glad that you're part of the team.
