Speaker 1: The Hookup is a production of iHeart Podcasts, Blumhouse Television
Speaker 1: and Ember twenty. Listener discretion is totally advised. Yes, you're
Speaker 1: not Wade?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 1: Is Wade? Wade?
Speaker 2: What is someone here? Damien?
Speaker 1: Hide?
Speaker 2: Wade?
Speaker 1: Do you have a minute to talk?
Speaker 2: Hello? Shirtless guy in the room. Does it look like
Speaker 2: Wade has a minute to talk to you? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just come back later, Damien.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Damn it so close, Tanner. I'm sorry to
Speaker 2: do this, but can we take a rain check? Seriously?
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you, Tanner. Sorry about that. I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt anything.
Speaker 2: It's fine. I was having buyer's remorse anyway. Tanner's just
Speaker 2: some metal guy.
Speaker 1: Oh I thought I recognized him.
Speaker 2: You're on metal? Why haven't I ever seen you? Fuck?
Speaker 1: I mean for sure, not because I blocked you or
Speaker 1: anything like that. No, chalk it up to the algorithm.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, metal is kind of mystifying. I've been on the
Speaker 2: app a few months now and I still can't get
Speaker 2: a handle on how it functions. What do you mean, Well,
Speaker 2: it's not like Tinder, where you have to swipe right
Speaker 2: with someone to match and start talking. But it's also
Speaker 2: not like the other hookup apps where profiles are displayed
Speaker 2: solely by proximity.
Speaker 1: Wait, yeah, he's right. I can browse profiles in the
Speaker 1: general area, but they don't ever seem to be sorted
Speaker 1: by any kind of human logic. The metal algorithm is
Speaker 1: an enema like that.
Speaker 2: Ah shit, what Tanner left his fanny pack behind?
Speaker 1: That guy brought a fanny pack to a hookup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he'll be back for it anyway. Hi,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen you in a minute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I have just been feeling kind of
Speaker 1: bad about how everything went down between us last year.
Speaker 2: And do you do you want something to drink?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I just I need to get this out, Wade.
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry for outing you. There's no excuse for that,
Speaker 1: and it was unfair that you didn't get to come
Speaker 1: out on your own terms. And I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Thanks accept your apology.
Speaker 1: You do.
Speaker 2: Sure, you're right, there is no excuse for what you did.
Speaker 2: But I'd be lying if I said some people didn't
Speaker 2: already know that about me. Really well, all the other
Speaker 2: guys I was hooking up, we sure did, and there
Speaker 2: were quite a few. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all good.
Speaker 2: So was there anything else?
Speaker 1: Uh? I mean, I guess, not specifically. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just all the times I imagine this conversation in
Speaker 1: my head. It didn't play so smoothly.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I always thought we'd really get into it. Get into it, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like arguing about all the stuff between us
Speaker 1: back then and the mistakes we both made that led.
Speaker 2: Up to the mistakes we both made. I'm confused. Did
Speaker 2: I out you too? No?
Speaker 1: But you weren't completely blameless either, blameless in what now?
Speaker 3: This is more like I imagined.
Speaker 1: The entire thing, Wade, How you treated me, the way
Speaker 1: I had to keep your secret, and it isolated me
Speaker 1: from everyone the time we finally had sex.
Speaker 2: If it was so isolating, why did you keep seeing me?
Speaker 2: I don't recall anyone forcing you to reply to my texts?
Speaker 1: You mean a text's giving me a six hour window
Speaker 1: to be on standby for a quickie in case your
Speaker 1: roommate's left. I've seen appliance delivery men give a narrower
Speaker 1: time I'm window than you.
Speaker 2: Did you? Did you have feelings for me last year?
Speaker 1: Like positive ones?
Speaker 2: Damien? I don't want to be pulled back into all
Speaker 2: this negativity. I've done a lot of healing and growing
Speaker 2: since then.
Speaker 1: I've seen your growth. Every time you run a campus
Speaker 1: fundraiser for LGBTQ health services, I see it. And every
Speaker 1: time you hold a telethon for gay puppies on hospice care,
Speaker 1: I see it. Anytime, Wade there's a reminder that you've
Speaker 1: become a paragon of gay sainthood. Believe me, I see it.
Speaker 2: What does that even mean? Are you angry that I
Speaker 2: learned to love myself?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes I am, because I don't get to love myself.
Speaker 1: I've had to work so hard to not feel like
Speaker 1: a used condom on the side of the road because
Speaker 1: that's how you treated me.
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, that is such crab mentality.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is that?
Speaker 2: Stop? Damien? Just I accept your apology. Can we just
Speaker 2: leave it at that?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: I get it. You didn't really come here to offer
Speaker 2: an apology. You came to solicit one.
Speaker 1: No, I just I came to boil the centipede?
Speaker 2: Is that? Did you just reference those centipedes that you
Speaker 2: have to boil or else they attract more.
Speaker 1: It's like every time I've tried to write off or
Speaker 1: justify what I did to you last year, it just
Speaker 1: felt like I was squshing my problems, you know, pushing
Speaker 1: them down, but in doing so, releasing pheromones to attract
Speaker 1: even more problems.
Speaker 2: So you came to boil the hatchet once and for all.
Speaker 1: Wow, you picked up on that metaphor fast. It took
Speaker 1: my psychiatrist like three sessions to get on board.
Speaker 2: May I there was this guy that I knew last
Speaker 2: year in a biblical sense, yes, but it wasn't just that.
Speaker 2: He was the first guy that I ever developed actual
Speaker 2: feelings for. And when I think about those days and
Speaker 2: the way I treated people, because you're not completely wrong,
Speaker 2: I could be kind of a dick. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of it came from the pain of knowing this
Speaker 2: guy didn't reciprocate my feelings and hating myself for thinking
Speaker 2: that he ever would. I only bring him up because
Speaker 2: the centipede thing reminded me.
Speaker 1: Why was was he a bug?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: No? What he was? He was the one who told
Speaker 2: me about it.
Speaker 1: Wait, no, no way, there is no way.
Speaker 2: The only reason I still remember about the stupid centipede
Speaker 2: is because he read about it in the nat geo
Speaker 2: he was holding when he broke it off with me.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: Is he talking?
Speaker 1: I mean he can't be talked talking about There's no
Speaker 1: way Santy and Wade were Oh, because if that were
Speaker 1: the case, and Santy did end things with Wade, which
Speaker 1: Wade himself just admitted turned him into an angry person,
Speaker 1: could that mean and there it is who remembers the
Speaker 1: word of the day Mony.
Speaker 3: I can't handle it all at once.
Speaker 1: It needs to stay separate Santy Popper's drama over there
Speaker 1: and wade drama over here. I mean, even if we
Speaker 1: sholve the immense jagged pain I feel at the thought
Speaker 1: of Santy and Wade together, it had never occurred to
Speaker 1: me that Wade could be involved in any of this, Damien.
Speaker 1: And that's not even taking into account Elias's damning testimony
Speaker 1: that Santy may actually have been producing the hookup himself.
Speaker 1: If that does turn out to be the case, Wade's
Speaker 1: association with Santy makes him doubles us.
Speaker 2: Hey you okay.
Speaker 1: Moreover, since I blocked him on Metal, Wade could be
Speaker 1: on there pedaling the hookup with reckless abandon and I'd
Speaker 1: have no way of seeing.
Speaker 3: And if Wade did kidnap.
Speaker 1: Or kill Santy, not to mention running a conversion popper scheme,
Speaker 1: that would totally be a worse crime than me outing him, Damien.
Speaker 1: If Wade is the mastermind and I can prove it
Speaker 1: that I was never in the wrong with him, fuck yeah,
Speaker 1: emotional maturity.
Speaker 2: Are you all right, dude?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Yeah, just fill in Migraine. Coming on, Actually, do
Speaker 1: you do you have the advilla or anything?
Speaker 2: Sure in the bathroom under the sink?
Speaker 1: Could you get it for me?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Thanks?
Speaker 2: Hi, Damien, Chair chair chair Chair, Damian, What the fuck
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 1: Kind of an extreme reaction, I know, but there's no
Speaker 1: time to play the long con with Wade. If he's
Speaker 1: up to something sinister, I want to know now, Okay,
Speaker 1: if I was a murderer and or bioterrorist, where would
Speaker 1: I keep my incriminating clues?
Speaker 2: Damien?
Speaker 1: If you don't let me out, you're gonna what kill me? Oh?
Speaker 2: Damian?
Speaker 1: What are you doing looking under your mattress for clues?
Speaker 1: Goodbye pillows, goodbye fanny pack. M I had high hopes
Speaker 1: about that, Woof. I was so taken by the possibility
Speaker 1: of Wade's guilt that I perhaps didn't think through the
Speaker 1: scenario in which I lock him in the bathroom and
Speaker 1: don't find any damning evidence. Ooh, Damien, you dunce way
Speaker 1: to jump to conclusions. There's no way that Wade is.
Speaker 2: Damien. Are you still there?
Speaker 1: Under the desk right beside Wade's bed, I spot it,
Speaker 1: even amidst the tornado of papers and debris I've created
Speaker 1: in my search. That stout little cylinder is unmistakable a
Speaker 1: popper bottle, a hookup bottle that's not gonna hold much longer.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be here when Wade gets free.
Speaker 3: I've seen what I needed too. Could Wade really do
Speaker 3: all this?
Speaker 1: I'm here? What the fuck of me?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: My entire face stings. It's happening so fast I can't see.
Speaker 1: All I can make out are the colors, big blotches
Speaker 1: of pink and mustard, my stalker, Oh the fuck you
Speaker 1: love me? That punch pulls me back, and my vision
Speaker 1: sets clearly on my aggressor.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the crustic bad mitten hoodie.
Speaker 1: All right, I sprangle my left arm free and yank
Speaker 1: down his hood to no avail. His face is concealed
Speaker 1: under one of those black one way elastic masks. What
Speaker 1: do you do.
Speaker 5: This? Episode is also brought to you by Chock full
Speaker 5: of Nuts, your one stop shop for all things risky.
Speaker 5: Located in scenic Ludlow Hills, this mom and pop adult
Speaker 5: supply boutique is show and knock your socks off and
Speaker 5: get your rocks off. Remember at Chalk full of Nuts,
Speaker 5: the customer comes first.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been choked?
Speaker 1: Not in a sex way, although I mean I do
Speaker 1: have questions about that too, but no, I'm talking like,
Speaker 1: full on I am going to murder you suffocation. My
Speaker 1: situation right now isn't exactly that. I mean, I could
Speaker 1: breathe in through my nose if I wanted to, but
Speaker 1: that's not really an option, not when I know what
Speaker 1: will happen to me if I do so. I start
Speaker 1: to feel lightheaded, woozy, disconnected, like I'm drifting away. But
Speaker 1: in this moment everything feels weirdly transparent, like I can
Speaker 1: finally think clearly without all the mental clutter. And where
Speaker 1: does my mind drift? Surprisingly? Not to Santy, not to Mateo,
Speaker 1: Big Top or the hookup either, not even Wade, who
Speaker 1: given the very recent discovery that he isn't my stalker.
Speaker 1: I may have been too quick to brand the mastermind. No,
Speaker 1: the only thing left inside my brain right now is.
Speaker 3: Metal.
Speaker 1: Still you hold your phone low and open up Metal,
Speaker 1: the hookup app currently in vogue. I can browse profiles
Speaker 1: in this general area, but they don't ever seem to
Speaker 1: be sordid by any kind of human logic.
Speaker 4: About two days after inhalation, the blackout started. I suddenly
Speaker 4: come to with no recollection of the past hour or afternoon,
Speaker 4: or even a full day.
Speaker 3: But the notification tone rattles me to my court. It's
Speaker 3: just so grated.
Speaker 5: I heard the metal alert sound plays on an uncharted frequency.
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of here. Wait, dude, are you okay?
Speaker 2: Who the fuck was that?
Speaker 1: We have to stop him?
Speaker 2: Which way did he You don't think you're stopping anything
Speaker 2: right now except maybe breathing anyway, he's gone. Shit. You
Speaker 2: need to tell me what's going on right fucking now?
Speaker 1: Hello, There on the floor over by your bed.
Speaker 2: This little bottle the hook up? Or are these poppers?
Speaker 1: Why do you have that?
Speaker 2: I don't, I mean it's not mine. Yeah, look I
Speaker 2: think it fell from Tanner's fanny pack while you were
Speaker 2: tearing apart my room.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Tanner is a hive mind hookup goon.
Speaker 1: It would explain how the stalker knew I was here.
Speaker 2: What exactly is it you think I did? Is this
Speaker 2: about Santi? Thought? So you got all weird when I
Speaker 2: talked about him earlier, I.
Speaker 1: Was being weird. You're the one hiding a secret history
Speaker 1: with a missing person.
Speaker 2: I wasn't hiding anything. I spoke to the police right
Speaker 2: after Santi disappeared and told him everything I know.
Speaker 1: Ugh, okay, but still, let's be one hundred percent sure
Speaker 1: before clearing Wade's name. I feel like I was on
Speaker 1: the verge of something back there, you know, when I
Speaker 1: was being choked something about Metal and the night when
Speaker 1: Big Top and p and Peter attacked me, I was struggling.
Speaker 2: Ah, take a big with my.
Speaker 3: Bra and then I got a Metal alert? Well what
Speaker 3: just what is what is going on?
Speaker 2: Who are you guys while you're my.
Speaker 1: And that's when they became lucid and like snapped out
Speaker 1: of the hookup trance. I can't put my finger on
Speaker 1: how metal and the hookup are connected, but I'd wager
Speaker 1: that the alert tone insight some sort of temporary reaction
Speaker 1: from people under the Hive Mind's influence, which means there's
Speaker 1: a very easy way to test if weight is one
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see who's online? Hmmm, oh this guy should do.
Speaker 1: He's a forty year old commercial airline captain and his
Speaker 1: username is backdoor Pilot.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Hey there, how's it hanging?
Speaker 3: Now? We wait?
Speaker 2: Are you on metal right now? What the fuck is
Speaker 2: wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Damien?
Speaker 2: You come over here unannounced in search of some misguided
Speaker 2: come up, and and when you don't get it, you
Speaker 2: lock me in a bathroom and start tearing my place apart.
Speaker 2: Then after I rescue you from being fucking attacked, you
Speaker 2: start browsing at dating app.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when you put it like that, I
Speaker 1: really must seem.
Speaker 2: What now you're not going to check that? A?
Speaker 1: How do you feel?
Speaker 2: How do I? How do I feel? Oh? You know?
Speaker 2: Can't complain? Oh wait, yes I fucking can. What the
Speaker 2: fuck is happening?
Speaker 1: So you're like Lucid?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately? Yes, dear god, I'm still very much present for
Speaker 2: this conversation.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, guess I misjudged Wade about being like hook up evil.
Speaker 1: I was definitely right about him being a dick. She'sh
Speaker 1: backdoor Pilot. Give it a rest. Oh, it's just another
Speaker 1: ad for that sex shop on Metal? Yeah? Why is that?
Speaker 1: Is that weird?
Speaker 2: No? I guess not. I've just never seen ads on
Speaker 2: there before.
Speaker 1: Hmm up until today, neither had I. So so if
Speaker 1: we follow this thread of metal intervention, what does it
Speaker 1: mean that the app has been showing pap up ads
Speaker 1: to me but not to Wade. The only explanation that
Speaker 1: comes to mind is that they're not ads at all,
Speaker 1: they're messages shock full of nuts there it is an
Speaker 1: adult supply boutique on Locust Avenue? Is this where people
Speaker 1: are buying the.
Speaker 2: Hookup directions to a sex shop? Are you in heat?
Speaker 1: Trust me, Wade? It is so in your best interest
Speaker 1: to leave this alone.
Speaker 2: This is about those paupers, isn't it? The hookup? Dude?
Speaker 2: You're so easy to read. Finding the bottle in my
Speaker 2: room is what made you think I'm dangerous? And that
Speaker 2: guy who attacked you, he wasn't even covering your nose.
Speaker 2: It was like he wasn't actually trying to hurt you.
Speaker 2: He just wanted you to inhale the paupers.
Speaker 1: This seriously doesn't concern you. Just go home and then
Speaker 1: lock your door.
Speaker 2: Right because that puts me at So there's got to
Speaker 2: be something the faries about those paupers, and now you're
Speaker 2: going to a sex shop to what investigate. I'm curious,
Speaker 2: so how Sunthy fits into all this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, take a number.
Speaker 2: But if whatever you're doing right now is about Sunthy,
Speaker 2: then I am coming with you.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, stop leave me alone. I preferred to
Speaker 1: it when you were only metaphorically haunting me. You don't
Speaker 1: know anything about what's going on here.
Speaker 2: I know you're in trouble, and I know that, whether
Speaker 2: or not it was my fault, I caused you a
Speaker 2: lot of pain last year.
Speaker 1: Oh that was a very vander Pump apology.
Speaker 2: Wasn't an apology, just an acknowledgment, Okay, And I'd like
Speaker 2: to make it up to you.
Speaker 1: Well, unless you can return my virginity, don't bother fuck.
Speaker 1: I said that out loud. I can't handle this. Which
Speaker 1: thing you being nice to me? I imagine today going like
Speaker 1: a thousand different ways. But the one constant in all
Speaker 1: those scenarios was that you hated me.
Speaker 2: Well, sorry to disappoint, but I don't hate you.
Speaker 1: Well that's stupid. Where are you going to?
Speaker 2: Chock full of nuts?
Speaker 1: Still?
Speaker 2: Whatever you're involved in is obviously dangerous, and don't take
Speaker 2: this the wrong way, but I'm dubious that you're equipped
Speaker 2: to handle it alone.
Speaker 3: He's not completely wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Chok full of Nuts really is distributing
Speaker 1: the hook up, then I'd be walking directly into the belly.
Speaker 2: Of the beast.
Speaker 3: It could be who of me to bring back up.
Speaker 2: Plus, you don't have to worry about me getting hurt
Speaker 2: because you don't even like me.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you put it like that, like, I guess,
Speaker 1: if you insist on following me, I can't stop you.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the last time we took a walk
Speaker 2: through campus together? That night I found you at the library.
Speaker 1: Of course, incidentally, that was also the last time I
Speaker 1: saw you left.
Speaker 2: What no way? We hung out a bunch of times after.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, but you didn't laugh anymore. After you and
Speaker 1: I hooked up on the baseball field that night, you
Speaker 1: became a different person.
Speaker 2: I did. Mm hm.
Speaker 1: I used to rack my brain about that night, trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what I did that was so off
Speaker 1: putting or unsexy. Eventually I came to wonder if I
Speaker 1: just reminded you of what you were running away from,
Speaker 1: and you resented me for it.
Speaker 2: You had me all figured out?
Speaker 1: Huh, I thought, so.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: Oh, nothing is I was just remembering that night. You're
Speaker 2: one hell at the third baseman.
Speaker 1: Mama always used to say God gave me gumption in
Speaker 1: place of a gag reflex. Uh, can we forget? I
Speaker 1: said that?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? So something really didn't tell you he and I
Speaker 2: were hooking up?
Speaker 1: Well, he and I weren't exclusive at the beginning, so
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he didn't have to tell me.
Speaker 2: But it still hurts that all that time you thought
Speaker 2: he was yours he was also.
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm not the only one reeling from the
Speaker 1: revelation that Santy had other toys wades in the exact
Speaker 1: same boat. Did Santi tell you he was also hooking
Speaker 1: up with me?
Speaker 2: Must have slipped his mind there.
Speaker 1: I was thinking you were the other guy, but to you,
Speaker 1: I was the other guy. I guess we're all the
Speaker 1: other guy to other guys. Hey, what did you mean
Speaker 1: before when you said I had crab mentality?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a bunch of crabs in a bucket?
Speaker 1: Not lately?
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of crazy, even though a handful of
Speaker 2: them could probably climb atop the others and escape. No
Speaker 2: crab ever makes it out of the bucket. Why not, Well,
Speaker 2: because the others won't let them. Even though the escape
Speaker 2: of Crab A has no effect on the fate of
Speaker 2: crab B, crab still sabotages Crab A's efforts. And it's like,
Speaker 2: it's like, if I can't escape, no one will.
Speaker 1: That's petty as fuck. Oh oh, so, so your point
Speaker 1: was that it's messed up for me to begrudge your
Speaker 1: new found happiness just because I haven't found mine. Fuck,
Speaker 1: I'm such a crab b.
Speaker 2: We've all got a little crab b, you knows. I
Speaker 2: guess that's why there's a term for it.
Speaker 1: Man, If that's for anyone else but Wade, these crustacean
Speaker 1: metaphors would really.
Speaker 2: Have me going, what now you're looking at me? Weirdly?
Speaker 1: Sorry, spaced out, Honestly, I was just thinking about how
Speaker 1: crabs always walk sideways, and then trying to make a
Speaker 1: joke about getting dick so good I can't walk straight.
Speaker 1: Yeh shit. What we were like having an actual conversation
Speaker 1: about about actual stuff and I made a joke, so
Speaker 1: whole big thing. It's it's a problem I have.
Speaker 2: Who said it's a problem.
Speaker 1: Like most people in my life.
Speaker 2: H I disagree for real five reel And all those
Speaker 2: people who told you it was a problem probably just
Speaker 2: punishing you because they don't possess such refined wit. Say,
Speaker 2: is there a term for that? Ah? Shit?
Speaker 1: We're here?
Speaker 2: Damn When did sex shops start looking like apple stores?
Speaker 1: Wade seems almost excited by this megalith of pleasure, But
Speaker 1: I hang back a sec. I mean, at what point
Speaker 1: did I stop hating him, that dumb little fire in
Speaker 1: my chest reminding me just how hard I detest this boy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of extinguished, which is as far as it's
Speaker 1: going to go. I will not myself forgive him or
Speaker 1: get attached because there's something I didn't have the heart
Speaker 1: to tell Wade about his little crab mentality spiel earlier.
Speaker 3: See, there's a flaw.
Speaker 1: In the conclusion being drawn from this Crabs in the
Speaker 1: Bucket experiment. Sure, the escape of Crab A won't directly
Speaker 1: mean anything bad for Crab B. But if enough crabs escape,
Speaker 1: the crab level in the bucket would eventually fall too
Speaker 1: low for any more to reach the top. At a
Speaker 1: certain point, stopping other crabs from escaping does preserve one's
Speaker 1: own chance of survival. So it's not really correct to
Speaker 1: say that crabs want others to fail purely out of spite. No,
Speaker 1: I think in some situations, crab mentality is a vital
Speaker 1: self preservation instinct. It's certainly what I'm holding on to
Speaker 1: is Wade, and I approach this impending uncertainty because as
Speaker 1: much as I hope it doesn't come to this, I
Speaker 1: have to be ready, ready should the need arise to
Speaker 1: throw him down and climb his shell out of the bucket.
Speaker 1: And if that makes me an evil person, then fine.
Speaker 1: But lest we forget, I am a Crustwick, Crustacean. So
Speaker 1: what you call crab mentality, well, I just call it
