  • Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

  • I have been dying to talk to you.

  • I'm so excited that you're here today

  • because I have a hilarious story to tell you about what happened at work the other day.

  • This is gonna explain why your life, why my life,

  • why it just feels harder than it should, and more importantly, what we're gonna do about it.

  • So first, the story.

  • So we're all having lunch, and Cameron, one of our amazing producers here at 143 Studios,

  • turns to us all and is like, So check this out, you guys.

  • My TV remote stopped working and she was kind of laughing as she was telling the story.

  • And she said, so, you know, I open up the back and the batteries, they're dead.

  • But she went to look for AA batteries and she couldn't find any.

  • So what did she do?

  • Well, she did what you and I do.

  • Instead of buying new batteries,

  • she took batteries out of her keyboard and put them into a remote control.

  • Problem solved, right?

  • Because now the remote works, but her keyboard doesn't.

  • So now Cameron's laughing at herself

  • as she's explaining that she basically walks around home with the only two AA working batteries in her pocket.
