First 90 secondsMary Beth Barone· Guest0:00
[gentle music] Wave. But I do think that I'm starting behind the eight ball, as they say, with people.
Caleb Hearon· Host0:08
You- I'm, I'm constantly- Mm ...
Mary Beth Barone· Guest0:09
winning people over. I'm not starting with... People are not coming into interactions with me presuming positive intent. They're presuming negative intent.
Caleb Hearon· Host0:15
You mean to tell me that you genuinely identify as an underdog?
Mary Beth Barone· Guest0:18
Unfortunately, I would say- [laughs] [laughs] ... in, in this, in this current moment. [upbeat music] Do you ever get worried, you're like, "Well, that's the last funny thing I'm gonna say?"
Caleb Hearon· Host0:30
No.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest0:31
I'm worried about not being funny on this.
Caleb Hearon· Host0:32
I get so sad because I know that the funniest things I'll ever say haven't even happened yet.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest0:37
[laughs] [laughs] That's really powerful.
Caleb Hearon· Host0:42
Yeah. [laughs] Yeah. Do you know what? Actually, one of my, like, meditations for this year is [laughs] one of my meditations- Tell me ... for this year is the best things are yet to come. And what I mean by that, and s- and sit with every single morning, there are a couple things I sit with every morning. One of them is when I am 90 years old, which I will be, looking back on my life thus far- Mm-hmm ... but when I'm 90, there's so much left to do.

Caleb Hearon· Host1:05
The things that I will be the happiest about and most proud of have literally not even occurred yet in this moment.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest1:11
Wow.
Caleb Hearon· Host1:11
They're all ahead of me. They're in my... They're in tomorrow, next week, next month.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest1:15
Really puts things into perspective.
Caleb Hearon· Host1:17
Well, it doesn't even matter if it's true, by the way.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest1:19
Right.
Caleb Hearon· Host1:19
You just have to tell yourself that in order to live. Living a happy life is about the, the lies that you tell yourself. [laughs] And it's a beautiful and important thing to do.
Mary Beth Barone· Guest1:28
It's about the delusion.
Caleb Hearon· Host1:29
