| 0:01.0 | Do you guys remember this call from a couple of days ago? This was like, I think, on Valentine's Day. My husband is the most awesome man in the world. I have a fear of driving since I was in high school on my friend's side in accident, so I never got my driver's license. And my husband drives me all the way from Dunwoody to Woodstock every morning, which is only a 20-minute drive while I'm in the car. But it's like an hour and a half for him on the way back. And he works overnight. He doesn't get a lot of sleep. He's the sweetest guy in the world. And I just want to know that I love him. And he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. So your fear here is, I mean, your fear is paralyzing you so much that you can't go and get your driver's license or drive around in a car? I can't. It just, it paralyzes me and I can't do it. And he works overnight and doesn't get me sleep because he drives me back and forth. So that was a couple of days on the show. We were like, I mean, we're were kind of touched by that story. Sweet. Because he's getting up so early, and he's sacrificing every single day to help Shay out. Hey, Shay. Hi. How are you? I'm good. How are you guys? Are you crying again, just thinking about how awesome your husband is? I'm not crying, but like I cried a few times since then. |
| 1:12.3 | Like, you just don't understand, like, how hard it is and how, you know, you feel like you're |
| 1:18.2 | selfish and you, and you try and it doesn't, no matter how much you try, it doesn't seem to work. |
| 1:25.0 | And it's just, I don't know it's it's it's pretty hard and I |
| 1:29.2 | know it's harder for him but explain explain to me like exactly what happens to |
| 1:34.6 | you at the thought of having to get behind the wheel well it see and it's actually |
| 1:39.2 | changed a little bit like before I would just if somebody even cut me off or just things that happen |
| 1:46.2 | in every day, you know, life when you're driving, that usually don't affect other people, |
| 1:51.8 | I'll pull on the side of the road. I don't even pay attention and I'll just like start crying. |
| 1:57.2 | See, I have my learners. I just don't have my driver's license, so he can ride with me. |
| 2:01.7 | And it got better where I don't, I've stopped crying and I've stopped doing that, |
| 2:08.3 | but I freak out if I have to turn around to merge into another lane when I'm on the express way, |
| 2:15.3 | I can't. |
| 2:16.2 | And it's not like a normal, like, |
| 2:18.3 | freaking out. It's really bad where he's afraid that, what if, you know, what if I got into a car |
| 2:24.5 | accident? And the funny thing is, he says I drive really well. And I'm not sure if it's just that |
| 2:31.0 | I had a lot of friends die. I was also raised by a strict parent who |
| 2:35.0 | didn't want me to learn how to drive. And I left home before being able to get my license. |
| 2:42.0 | And so basically, I mean, it's so bad that I used to, I used to live off of exit 7 and |
| 2:47.1 | Roswell, and I would walk to work to exit 9. I'd walk from exit 7 to exit 9 to get to |
| 2:53.4 | work every single day. How many miles is that? Excuse me? How many miles is that? Um, to be not sure. |
