Self-Sabotage w/ Shae

·1 hr 24 min·4 clips

The show opens in its usual easy groove. Adrian Jackson handles the sponsor read, welcomes everyone in, and checks in with One Three before the conversation settles into banter about soreness, feeling swole, and how the day is going. Then the talk shifts toward boundaries and self-protection. Instead of treating it like a formal idea, they work through it through everyday frustration, personal history, and the kind of support that only feels real when it is actually wanted. They keep circling the same line. One Three says it would bother him if somebody tried to force their way into his life without real interest, and that turns into a bigger conversation about boundaries, trust, and what genuine support actually looks like. The let them idea starts to carry the episode. Rather than chasing everybody's approval, they keep coming back to the idea that sometimes the healthiest move is to let people be who they are and stop trying to manage them. The tone gets more personal. One Three says his motto for the last couple months has basically been fuck them and move on, but he frames it as trust in himself and in God, not as a hard shell for its own sake. That opens the book conversation. He talks about hearing the idea from Mel Robbins, getting the book, seeing other people around him pick it up, and feeling like the repeated appearances were a sign to pay attention. The timing keeps stacking up. Raven gets the book for Christmas, a cousin texts him about listening too, and One Three jokes that everything has been arriving in twos lately. That leads naturally to a book club idea. The conversation treats it like another way to build community without turning the whole thing into a polished self-help event. The ending widens the frame. Adrian says there are book club events coming, more business owners will be brought onto the show, and another podcast studio is being explored so listeners can finally see their faces on video. The last stretch stays playful. They trade jokes about hair, retweets, and needing haircuts before closing with the show's usual reminder to just keep swimming.

As heard by us

A loose, grounded talk about genuine support, personal boundaries, and learning when to let people be people.

The episode stays close to support, boundaries, and the idea that half-hearted interest is not the same thing as real care. Adrian Jackson and One Three keep it blunt and easygoing, and they bring in the let them theory along with trust, faith, and a clear preference for genuine…
