A reluctant caregiver reflects on their pragmatic approach to caring for someone, while another speaker argues they were chosen for this role and will have significant future impact. The conversation touches on personal journey and an upcoming film that will mark a new phase.
Scary Guy, are you really Dave Letterman? That's what I keep wondering. Maybe you look like Dave Letterman to me.
I could be Dave Letterman. I just put on different makeup and you're on the letter— you're on The Dave Letterman Show and you don't even know it.
Painted your head. Um, you know, a couple of months ago I even wrote about this. I call myself the reluctant caregiver. I just find it so funny that I've kind of become like this face of caregivers because it's, it's not like instinctually who I am. I'm not like that mom who loves children, even, even my own, all that much half the time. Um, like, I'm just, I'm not that very— I'm not that emotional woman who cries all the time or like just oohs and aahs over every newborn baby or I'm a fixer, and maybe that's, that's, you know, why I was tagged IT, because I see a problem and I fix it. I don't get overly emotional about it. I just dive in and try to come up with a solution.
You're the right person for the job, I suppose.
No, you are.
It makes sense. Landed in my lap. And I don't know, I don't believe— I don't believe that. I believe you were picked for it and you were groomed. You actually were trained in. You're, you're, you're the perfect person for what it is you're doing right now, and I just— it's absolutely stellar, and it's going to be really big for you. It's going to be big for a lot of people. You're going to help a lot. Are you going to help millions of people around the world, I think, in your lifetime? And you're—
now you're gonna make me cry.
So, oh, that's the truth. It's the truth. That's the truth. I mean, you can see it. You can I can see the picture and I can, I can see how you got there. I can see how it all started for you and where you're at. And this is the beginning of your new, your new task, your journey, and you're gonna, you're gonna soar with it. And the film is gonna kick it off for you, and I think that's gonna be fantastic.
