I'm Nora McNerney, and this is thanks for asking a call in show about what matters to you.

And I am making this

episode because I am a type B person living in a, living in a world filled with people who

keep it together. People who know what their daily schedule is aren't constantly running late. People who don't book the right

flight for the wrong day or book their own flights correctly, but forget to book their family's

flights. People who, a lot of these are travel related, but for a person who has gotten a lot done and has

accomplished a lot, I also am not a person who is highly regimented. I am not a person who,

like my big sister, you know, is so solid that I feel like I could set a watch by her routines.

There's certain things that I do,

certain things that honestly I've picked up from her. I like to do my nails on a Sunday and make

my bed every day, things like that. But I was raised by a type B woman. I am the product of Margaret

McInerney and not in any way except my physical build and my face, the product of Steve McEnnerney. And not in any way except my physical build in my face, the product of

Steve McInerney, a man who got out of the Marines and said, I will take these routines with me

through the rest of my life. This was a man who I earned. This was a man who did his laundry

separately from the rest of the family because he liked his laundry done a certain way. And also he did not like if we took any of his socks. He also marked his socks with his initial. So we couldn't claim, no, I actually bought the same socks as you. He did not trust us with his socks or his laundry. My dad ran a tight ship. My mom was kind of just paddling a little canoe next to that ship in a lot of ways. It kind of disturbs people that I drink my coffee in my car in just a mug. Any mug can be a travel mug if you take it with you. I own travel mugs. I don't want to drink with something from a lid. I want to drink from a ceramic mug with a handle, and I will live with the slashes on my clothing and in my car. I will live

with the residue. I will live with the residual smell. Okay? So it's very fitting. It's very

fitting that today I sat down to call people who called in with their type B stories and started my first

one by not hitting record. Not hitting record. That's a pretty key part of recording a podcast.

You do have to hit the record button, unfortunately.

You know, they say there's two types of people in this world, and I think we all know that

there are probably infinite kinds of people in this world, but there's something that I really

do like about a binary. I like a type A versus a type B. I really do. I am pretty happily type B now, but I spent a lot of my life
