Making Everything Possible: The Moth Podcast

Speaker 1 Today's show is sponsored by Alma. I know I'm not the only one who turns to the internet when I'm struggling.

Speaker 1 It feels like there are so many answers, from how to learn the ukulele to how to improve my mental health.

Speaker 1 But what I've come to realize is that while I can use the internet to strum a stunted version of La Vian Rose, when it comes to taking care of my mind, there's no replacement for real human relationships.

Speaker 1 But even finding a therapist can feel like an inevitable online black hole.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm so happy to share that Alma makes it easy to connect with an experienced therapist, a real person who can listen, understand, and support you through your specific challenges.

Speaker 1 You don't have to be stuck with the first available person. Trust me, it's important to find someone you click with.

Speaker 1 They can be nice, they can be smart, they can let you bring your chihuahua, true story, but they also have to be someone who really gets you uniquely.

Speaker 1 When you browse Alma's online directory, you can filter by the qualities that matter to you, then book free 15-minute consultations with the therapists you're interested in seeing.

Speaker 1 This way, you can find someone you connect with on a personal level and see real improvements in your mental health with their support. Better with people, better with Alma.

Speaker 2 You know, I've always thought a security system should do more than just alert you after something happens. If you could stop someone from breaking in before they even got inside, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 2 Most old school systems only go off after the fact, and that's just too late. That's why I use SimplySafe, and you should too.

Speaker 2 It's proactive, AI-powered cameras detect potential threats outside, and if something seems off, live agents step in right away, talking to the person through the camera, warning them they're being recorded, and calling police if necessary.

Speaker 2 For me, the setup was simple. The monitoring is reliable, and it gives me real peace of mind whether I'm home or away.
No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, you can cancel anytime.

Speaker 3 Welcome to The Moth. I'm Peter Aguero.
I've been a part of the Moth for a long time. About 2007, as best as anybody can tell.
I've told stories at slams. That's how I started with Moth.

Speaker 3 And I've been an instructor in the EDU program, the community program. I host main stages and slams all around the country.

Speaker 3 Today, I want to give you a taste of why I've been part of the moth for so long. These are stories that will make you laugh, make you cry.
In the best case scenario, man, both.

Speaker 3 First up, I'm going to share a story that I told when I was hosting a main stage up in Tarrytown, New York. Yeah, I'm not going to host the Moth podcast without putting one of my own stories first.

Speaker 3 Come on. So here I am.
Me,

Speaker 3 live at the moth.

Speaker 3 As I was making my way on my trusty bicycle up the Empire State Trail

Speaker 3 the other day.

Speaker 3 I was

Speaker 3 looking at my hands. On my knuckle of the index finger of my right hand, there's a Y-shaped scar.
It's tiny. It's very faint.

Speaker 3 It's old now. It's almost as old as me.
And

Speaker 3 when I was four years old, I got the scar. And that day I woke up

Speaker 3 and I felt great. Do you remember when you woke up and you felt great?

Speaker 3 The sun is shining through my bedroom

Speaker 3 in my little South Jersey Rivertown

Speaker 3 house.

Speaker 3 And I can, just my head's not pounding. I didn't say anything stupid the night before.
I didn't flirt with somebody who wasn't my wife. There was, you know what I mean? I felt like a million dollars.

Speaker 3 And I can hear footsteps coming up the steps, and I knew it's my mom coming to wake me up.

Speaker 3 So I pretended to fall back asleep because on Saturday mornings this is the way that she would do it she would come up and sit down

Speaker 3 and she did and she sat on the edge of my bed and she reached over and my mom had just been going to nursing school she was studying to be a nurse because that's what you do in nursing school and she reaches over and she starts to fold my ears

Speaker 3 fold them up and she says she whispers and says

Speaker 3 your ears are made out of cartilage and if i fold them they they don't hurt. It's just folding.
And I just reach up and I grab her ear and I twist it and I say, does this hurt?

Speaker 3 It was, you know, the first

Speaker 3 intentful time that

Speaker 3 a son will hurt their mother by accident on purpose. It happens a lot after that.

Speaker 3 That's why every Mother's Day card, when it says, Happy Mother's Day from your son, is always an apology.

Speaker 3 And so that's just the way it goes.

Speaker 3 So she says, would you like to go on a treasure hunt? And of course, I'm for.

Speaker 3 And she hands me a brown piece of paper. It's all rolled up.
And there's a ribbon. And I untie it and I open it up.
It's this crumpled up

Speaker 3 map of our house in black marker. And I don't see on the back that it says Acme.
You know, it was the shopping bag.

Speaker 3 But it looks like a treasure map that she had found somewhere. And so I follow the dots.
I get up out of bed.

Speaker 3 I spring out and I go downstairs and I follow this map out to the front porch and at the front porch underneath one of the chairs is another rolled up little piece of paper and it tells me another clue it tells me to go down in the basement i go down to the basement underneath the house is totally silent uh and my father and my sister aren't there uh i'm four years old i don't know everybody's business so i can't tell you where they were uh that's lost to time and uh from the at the basement at the base of the stairs another roller piece of paper that sends me outside to the giant maple tree i I go to the maple tree.

Speaker 3 There's a spoon and some disturbed dirt. And I dig in that little disturbed dirt.
And I pick up another little piece of paper. And that sends me to the dining room and under the dining room table.

Speaker 3 And as I'm going through the house on this adventure, running around, pretending I'm some kind of treasure hunter pirate, my mom is like peeking around the corners and she's watching me do this.

Speaker 3 And she's got this big grin on her face. And eventually, it sends me back up to my room, to the closet in my room, and in my closet is another

Speaker 3 brown paper shopping bag that's folded over with the black marker. It looks like it has wood grain on it like a treasure chest.

Speaker 3 And I open it up and inside there's two things, a small little velvet box and a box of Duncan Heinz devil's food cake mix. And my mom says, you want to make a cake?

Speaker 3 Absolutely, I want to make a cake. So we go downstairs and she cracks the eggs and she adds the oil and

Speaker 3 adds the mix and she lets me help with the mixer.

Speaker 3 Everything was avocado green in 1980 and it was that those uh pyrex clouded uh uh those pyrex bowls that were that were like painted green on the outside with flowers and mushrooms because it was from the 70s and by like flowers and mushrooms if you know what i mean and then the inside was white and then you're mixing it up and then it would chatter up the side of the bowl

Speaker 3 and you felt like the most powerful kid in the world at least i did and we make the the bowl and as we're we're taking the uh the cake and we're she's helping me scrape it out of the bowl into the cake dish.

Speaker 3 She starts to tell me about her brother, her brother Gregory that she loves so much. And Gregory was her big brother and he was amazing.

Speaker 3 He was so smart and he was in the, he went into the army and when he got out of the army, he got a job with RCA and that was a big company and he ended up going to Greenland to do work for RCA.

Speaker 3 He was the first person in our family since they came from Poland to leave the country again and be allowed to come back. And like,

Speaker 3 it was, she, and I never knew Gregory because she told me when Gregory was at that time, you know, he was in his 30s before I was born, about five years before I was born, he got melanoma, she told me.

Speaker 3 She explained what melanoma was, and she explained that at that time, once he, there was a mole, and then once that there was this mole,

Speaker 3 they couldn't do anything about it, and less than a year later, he was gone.

Speaker 3 So as the cake is, she's telling me this as the cake is baking, and as the cake comes out of the oven, we let it cool.

Speaker 3 And as the cake is cooling, she shows me how to make this purple cream cheese icing, and we're going to put it on there. And then she says, you want to open up the box.

Speaker 3 And in the little velvet box is a tiny little penknife, like a small little fold-out penknife from a World's Fair.

Speaker 3 And she says, this was Gregory's knife, and I think he would have wanted you to have it. So in 1980, it was okay to give a kid a knife.

Speaker 3 That was nobody, a lot of flowers and mushrooms, if you know what I'm saying. Like it was like, there was no problem with that.
So, I'm so excited.

Speaker 3 She's like, well, the cake has to cool down before we ice it. Why don't you go outside and play?

Speaker 3 And so, I did. I'm with a knife, and I'm out there and I'm fighting with the pirates again.
This knife is this big, but I'm having the best time. I can't believe it.
Not only did it belong to Gregory,

Speaker 3 but

Speaker 3 it was now my knife, and it was just unbelievable. And she had told me, I forgot to mention that she had told me we were making the cake because today would would have been Gregory's birthday.

Speaker 3 And she said it was my gift. I got to have the gift today.
So it's like I'm singing, happy birthday, Gregory. And I'm done, all this.

Speaker 3 Then I see a branch that fell from the tree, a little small branch. So I start, what do you do with a knife? You whittle.
So I take the that's right, I didn't know what whittling was.

Speaker 3 What's the point? You make a toothpick. I have no idea.
I only saw it in cartoons. I take the branch and I take the knife and I start cutting

Speaker 3 toward.

Speaker 3 And you see that what happened on the third strike that knife stuck directly into my knuckle of the knuckle of my index finger on my right hand.

Speaker 3 I screamed because I had a knife stuck in the knuckle of my little baby hand and I I flipped out. There's blood everywhere.
I thought I was dying.

Speaker 3 I ran inside and my there's just what looked to me carnage flaps of skin. I thought my finger was gone.
I'm crying. My mom, who was studying to be a nurse, she calmed me down.

Speaker 3 She cleaned off my finger. She cleaned it off.
She put neosporin on it. She put a little band-aid on it.
She kissed it.

Speaker 3 She cut me a nice piece of cake and a big cold glass of milk and she put me in front of the television and she said, you enjoy. And I did for about an hour and then I realized the knife.

Speaker 3 So I ran back outside and I looked everywhere.

Speaker 3 Everywhere. and it was gone now I don't know what I believe in you might understand that I don't believe in much you probably figured that out

Speaker 3 from my own loud context throughout the last hour and the knife was gone so I don't know what happened you know maybe someone came by and picked it up but it was small no one would have found it it was maybe maybe Gregory said no that's not from my nephew he from wherever he was he came down and got it and took it or maybe it just fell in a bush and maybe I just never saw it again and either way

Speaker 3 you know my mother got to pass on what she had been holding on to a long time was the spirit and the love of her brother

Speaker 3 and then I had to let go the idea of having a knife at four years old and that was okay because the knife was gone but I will always have this little Y-shaped scar thank you very much

Speaker 3 Welcome back. Our next story is from Callie Toll, who told us at a Portland Grand Slam where the theme was fall from grace.
Here's Callie live at the mall.

Speaker 4 So I'm 16 years old and I'm certified in artificial insemination in cattle, sheep, and swine.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 4 Not only that, but I work with a company that certifies ranchers in cattle hands and certification for artificial insemination in these animals.

Speaker 4 And it's safe to say that I was pretty fucking hot to trot.

Speaker 4 I mean

Speaker 4 I'm out there teaching these adults how to create life.

Speaker 3 Right?

Speaker 4 So part of my responsibilities are taking care of the animals we'll be working with. And part of my responsibilities are working with teaching and tutoring in our practicals for these courses.

Speaker 4 So in our January class, when the team showed up with the cattle that we'd be working with,

Speaker 4 and we were unloading them into the space, they pointed to this Brahma cow. Now, Brahma cows, they're the pretty ones with the big hump on their backs.

Speaker 4 And the full-grown Brahma cow is going to weigh about 1,500 pounds. And they said, watch her.
She's a caution.

Speaker 4 And then they said, she's a bad cow.

Speaker 4 I didn't believe in bad animals.

Speaker 4 I fully understood that there are times when animals behave in ways we don't want them to, we don't expect them to, and we don't ask them to.

Speaker 4 And that at times can be dangerous, but never does a bad animal it make.

Speaker 4 And so I resolved myself, I'll decide for me if she's dangerous or she's just difficult. And I unloaded the 20 cattle herd and put them where they belonged.

Speaker 4 The first morning of class, I went out to get the cattle to bring them in. There were 20 of them and I was on my own bringing them in.
And it was bone cold, folks.

Speaker 4 The mud was about three, four inches deep.

Speaker 4 And I was on my own bringing these cattle back in and I looked up and I noticed that some of the cattle hands and the ranchers had kind of filtered out to watch me bring them in on their own.

Speaker 4 And that was about the time that this Brahma cow started to give me some grief.

Speaker 4 And I did the thing I did back then, unique to me, which was I started doing jumping jacks. That may sound funny, but when cattle don't know what's going to happen next, they shy away, right?

Speaker 4 They don't come towards it. So it was doing two things for me, right? She's going to shy away.

Speaker 4 And I'm going to stay warm.

Speaker 4 And I hear this laughing off to the side. And so I decide to, while still doing jumping jacks in the freezing mud, just look over and acknowledge the adoring crowd.

Speaker 4 And as I do, I get this flicker of a change of expression on their face.

Speaker 4 And then my whole world is pain.

Speaker 4 And as my mind grapples to figure out what's happening to me, I'm actually flying upside down, facing the opposite direction over the back of this cow.

Speaker 4 She had taken her pole, so that's the very top of her head, and cuffed me right in the abdomen and flung me like a ragdoll.

Speaker 4 Still trying to understand what's going on, I hit the mud on my head and my neck and I fall to my back and instinctively I'm flipping to get onto my stomach,

Speaker 4 trying to catch a breath. Trying to get on my feet.
I crawl and scramble and that's when I realize I've been knocked out of my boots.

Speaker 4 And I stand up and I can feel that freezing cold mud seeping into my socks. And I look up just to try to get my bearings.

Speaker 4 Pain

Speaker 4 again.

Speaker 4 This time she hits me from the back and she sends me flying forward, landing on my stomach in this deep, freezing mud.

Speaker 4 Only now I'm in the middle of the other 19 cows who are starting to become reactive and they're afraid because the cowboys are screaming and they're jumping over the railing to try to come and help me.

Speaker 4 And I managed to get on my hands and knees and she's behind me and she's striking at the backs of my legs with her hooves and she's ramming me again and again with her pole.

Speaker 4 And my whole world just becomes maud and pain and things start to get very primal. And I stop registering each.

Speaker 4 individual injury as cattle step on my hands and they knee me in the face with their legs as they're trying to get out of the way. And I chance to look up

Speaker 4 and there is this cowboy like a superhero running across the tops of the backs of these cattle all around me. He's parkouring.

Speaker 4 Each cattle is reaching one foot at a time on one cow as he lands directly in front of me and he scoops me up.

Speaker 4 And that's when I can see that the cattle hands and the cowboys are trying desperately to create a safe path for him to get me to the railing when that rama cow breaks free again.

Speaker 4 She's got this vendetta I will never understand. And she's coming for me and the cowboy this time.
He gets me to the railing, but my hands don't work. I can't make a purchase to climb.

Speaker 4 My feet don't work. They're bare now and it feels like nails are driving into my hands and feet.
And I try to bear my weight to climb, but I can't.

Speaker 4 And as she approaches, this cowboy summons some kind of superhuman injury, energy, or maybe he has it. I don't know.

Speaker 4 But he pushes me up over the six-foot railing, and I just land in a heap on my side on the other side of the gate, him quickly following.

Speaker 4 I curl up in a ball. My whole world is just confusion and freezing fucking pain, and just start to cry.

Speaker 4 One of the cowboys I worked with brings his truck around, and he picks me up, and he puts me in the cab, and he turns on the heater, and he calls my mom.

Speaker 4 My mom comes to get me, takes me directly to the hospital. Shockingly, there's no broken bones, but the internal bleeding and the bruising on my arms and legs has actually caused anemia.

Speaker 4 And I'm watched closely as I make a full recovery to a full blood cell count.

Speaker 4 You might wonder, so I'm going to tell you guys, I still don't believe in bad animals.

Speaker 4 I have learned, however, to heed a warning when given.

Speaker 3 That was Callie Toll. Callie is a credentialed veterinary technician who has spent her life taking care of animals and the people who love them.

Speaker 3 The only thing she enjoys more than sharing her stories is hearing yours. We've got one more story for you, but before that, I wanted to talk a little bit about why you are the moth.

Speaker 3 I already told you about my experiences with the moth as a host and a teller and an instructor. There's a bunch more people here who bring the moth to life.

Speaker 3 Some names you've heard before, many you haven't. It's easy to think that all of us are the moth, but really, it's you.

Speaker 3 You think back to how the moth got started with a bunch of people sitting on a screen-dimmed porch in Georgia telling each other stories and the holes in the screen let the moths come in and they would collect around the light while these stories are being told.

Speaker 3 I mean,

Speaker 3 You are the moths

Speaker 3 and you're here gathering around these stories. And you're here with us because we believe that everyone has a story to tell.
We believe that everyone's story is worthy to be told.

Speaker 3 And we want everyone to tell their stories. You know, what it does is it fosters empathy for other people.
It helps us to listen. It's so rare, you know?

Speaker 3 It helps us to understand that our own experience is not the only experience. None of this exists without the people who listen.
And that's you. And we are so grateful for you.

Speaker 3 So you, listeners, you, arguably, are actually the moth. And we need you now.

Speaker 3 Making a gift directly to the Moth today will ensure that stories from our live events and workshop programs are free and accessible across the globe.

Speaker 3 Donations received now provide a critical foundation for us to kick off the new year on solid ground. Please visit themoth.org or text Give25, that's G-I-V-E-25-78679.
to get started.

Speaker 3 Thanks so much for your support of the Moth. Up next is Tom Rich, who told this story at a Boston Story Slam where the theme of the night is haunted.
Here's Tom, live at the Moth.

Speaker 5 Toward the end of my senior year of high school, something happened that haunted me for over 30 years.

Speaker 5 From a very young age, I was really good at

Speaker 5 math.

Speaker 5 Probably didn't expect me to say that.

Speaker 5 I was at the top of my class every year, and it was my favorite subject. So it was no surprise when at the end of my senior year of high school I was selected as my school's representative at a

Speaker 5 statewide math competition.

Speaker 5 The first

Speaker 5 step in that competition was an interview with

Speaker 5 three professors from the local university.

Speaker 5 That morning, I drove out to the site with my two close friends who were actually competing

Speaker 5 in

Speaker 5 different subjects.

Speaker 5 We got to the site, I walked in the room, sat down,

Speaker 5 they asked me a question, I knew the answer, but all of a sudden, words were not coming out of my mouth. Every word was a struggle.
After about a minute of struggling and weird facial contortions,

Speaker 5 one of the professors pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil and said, here, why don't you write down your answers?

Speaker 5 And that's how the rest of the story went. Well, this was a humiliating experience that I was deeply ashamed of.
On the ride home, my other two friends were in a great mood.

Speaker 5 They had aced their interview, and I sat quiet. I didn't say anything.
When I got home, I didn't say anything to my parents. But more importantly, importantly, that was terrifying.

Speaker 5 I had struggled with

Speaker 5 stuttering since the second grade. But up until that point, the consequences were merely being teased, which isn't fun, but it

Speaker 5 didn't seem to have any impact on your future. But here I was with a chance to really do something, and I failed.

Speaker 5 And as a result, I lost all confidence about speaking in front of people and really being put in any situation that I did not control. And I started saying no to opportunities.

Speaker 5 Through my 20s, 30s, and 40s, I never regained that confidence. And I said the minimum amount.

Speaker 5 When I got married, I said exactly two words.

Speaker 5 But saying the minimum

Speaker 5 amount meant that every time I had to make a phone call, introduce myself, or speak in front of people, that high school interview just was hovering over me.

Speaker 5 And then about 12 years ago, something happened.

Speaker 5 It was on a Sunday morning, and I was at my Unitarian church that I had been attending for several years. And we'd come to that point in the service where anyone could get up and

Speaker 5 talk about what was on their mind.

Speaker 5 And it was sort of a spur of the moment thing.

Speaker 5 But I got up,

Speaker 5 I walked over to the microphone, and I said,

Speaker 5 last night I watched the movie The King's Speech

Speaker 5 about King George VI of England and his struggle with stuttering. And that was an incredibly emotional movie for me because that's something that I have struggled with.

Speaker 5 And I had never had an honest conversation with more than two or three people

Speaker 5 about that.

Speaker 5 Well, at that moment, I started to find confidence, and I started saying yes to opportunities. I said yes to being on the board of my church.

Speaker 5 I said yes to joining the

Speaker 5 board of our local refugee assistance program. And just last year, I said yes to leaving my not-so-fulfilling not-so-fulfilling job and finding something new and more meaningful.

Speaker 5 And then the more that I did that,

Speaker 5 I came to realize that that high school interview no longer haunted me. Thank you.

Speaker 3 That was Tom Rich. Tom lives in Massachusetts with his family.
He credits his spouse, Suzanne, for helping him find his voice and encouraging him to give live storytelling a try.

Speaker 3 Listen, this is important. We believe that stories bring us together.
It's why we host slams and main stages and teach storytelling to students and community groups.

Speaker 3 It's why we produce this podcast and the Moth Radio Hour. And we can only do all of that with your support.
So, thank you. Thank you for listening.
Thank you for being the Moth.

Speaker 3 That brings us to the end of our episode. Thank you to our storytellers for sharing with us and to you for listening.

Speaker 3 From all of us here at the Moth to all of you at the Moth, have a storyworthy week.
