Last weekend I was a hanging with my awesome friends - awesome older dudes. Great men.  And of course we got to talking, and we got right into a massively significant topic.  Dishes.  Dishes now. Dishes in our earlier years. 

The main trust was when and how dishes get done.  Whether they get done before or after a meal. Whether they interfere with serving food hot - this was a split decision. I want the dishes DONE before sitting down to eat and it can interfere with my food being hot…which annoys me, but I can’t seem to stop once I have my hands on a pot. Brent, however can stop on queue and get at his piping hot food with his extra big spoon of course.  See I get caught in the smoothie philosophy - get it clean RIGHT AWAY or it’s way more work later.  I don’t do later well. But the soaking philosophy is relevant also David reminded us.  We spent a good amount of time on these important issues.  These things matter.   

Then there was a pause and I let the guys know that I have a podcast episode coming with Theo - Theo the amazing Game player, and insightful Gen Z spokesman from episode 9 - where we discuss, wait for it.  Dishes.  He brings them up…he too wants to discuss dishes. We’re clearly on to something here.  

But Theo, being Theo,  takes this to a different level with the idea that moving from left to right is more standard because that’s how we read English, and what happens when we do things - dishes, game design, life - moving from right to left, including a cure for depression. 

Finally, because how can we not keep going here. Theo and I hilariously work to figure out if the orbit of the earth around the sun is always counter clockwise…you’ll have to listen and wait for us to get up from under our desks to find out. 

This is really fun. You will enjoy this and as you listen, please take my uncles advice to heart, “when you do the dishes, do the dishes.”  So here we are in the Beyond. And so when you’re here in the Beyond, be in the Beyond.  This awesome place for Lion Hearted men.  I have a feeling you’ll soak up this episode up like a sponge. 

Lets get out the dish soap and the brush and clean this up.  I hope you enjoyed this playful episode. Here are my take aways

1. Perspective matters - when we look at things from a different perspective, it has an impact and changes things
2. Dishes can tell you a lot about people
3. I’m going to think more about doing things right to left, up and down, and all around (I actually do this when I do my Kundalini yoga each morning)
4. I love my people…they’re awesome
5. Theo is a great game strategist, player, and has lots to learn about dishes…we all have our special abilities
6. Dads are amazing and we love when they visit
7. I’ve got work to do, but I’m going to practice letting ‘em soak so I can enjoy my hot food
8. Water. Doing dishes well is lots about saving as much water as possible and honoring the water that we do use - that we get to share this miraculous moment together. There is the base level of keeping the water off while soaping/scraping. 

Thank you for listening to the Beyond, this adventure for Lion Hearted men.
