Ty goes parcel, Chase gets judgmental and both get rebuked by having their eyes opened. In this episode we explore the drama triangle through first hand examples of our own failures and miscommunications.

Transcript (provided by Chelsea Jones):

Ty: Do you want to start us or do you want me to?

Chase: You go ahead.

Ty: Alright. Hey guys, welcome back to the Wholehearted podcast, here. We are out here on a beautiful Friday morning in Logan, Utah, in the foothills above my house, again. We got a little bit of rain coming down, but the air is fresh. It feels almost like being down in Hawaii with the humidity and as you guys can see, there’s no better place to come go to work then right here. Right?

Chase: Even on a wet and rainy day!

Ty: Yeah! Even the rain’s a little refreshing. I’m sure it’s got my hair totally flat right now. That’s all right!

Chase: It’s a good thing that’s not important! One of the beautiful things that you can kind of see around us, if you’re watching the video at least, is there are clouds that we are on level with and above, in certain parts. Actually, you were saying Hawaii, but it kind of reminds me of being out on the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee where Papaw lived. So, that’s a little bit endearing for me.

Ty: Brings back some memories.

Chase: Yeah, it does.

Ty: Yeah, it was absolutely beautiful, I bet. I wish we could stay out here all day.

Chase: Yeah!

(Laughter)

Chase: I know at least one or two people that would shoot us for that!

(Laughter)

Ty: Yeah, I got a wife at home right now that would be like: “Oh, you call that work!”

Chase: No, we are working, we promise!

Ty: We are working, I swear it! I told her today about our outdoor office project, you know, and she’s like: “you guys are so full of crap! Now you’re going to work everyday and sit on top of a mountain and do nothing!”

Chase: I mean, that’s part of the reason it’s almost good to have somebody who’s saying that’s not a thing for you. To have a good rebuttal is that you actually do the thing (1:53) and it is work.

Ty: I’ve been thinking about all of the rebuttals because I know where I want to take this project, which is pretty much always being outside! So I’m always coming up with really good ideas. In fact, that goes along with the book that you and I–I guess it’s a documentary we listed to this week on the power of being out in nature. I told her about it yesterday and I said, “you gotta listen to this documentary about the three-day effect of being outside in nature!” And she was like, “Oh, so you and Chase are going camping this weekend?” (Laughter) I said, “no!”

Chase: That’s the soft pitch! (Laughter) She thought you were prefacing! I mean, it is Memorial Day weekend!

Ty: But today, Chase, I wanted to start off with just kind of a question for you to think about and maybe come up with any ideas. I ran into something today with my work at UPS that made me think about this as I was working .so for everyone who doesn’t know us very yet, I work in the morning times at UPS helping to get to the big semi trucks unloaded, and then the pack is loaded into the trucks that deliver to you guys’s houses. I was asked today to go into a different spot than I normally work.
