Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, Hi, how are you hi?
Speaker 2: Good? So I'll get right into what I would like
Speaker 2: to talk about. I've been wanting to talk about for
Speaker 2: a long time, So per se you are going to
Speaker 2: hook up or date somebody and you only have a
Speaker 2: singular butt cheek? Do you, uh, do you feel that
Speaker 2: you must discuss our preface to that person that you
Speaker 2: are missing an ash cheek?
Speaker 1: Well, look you do you you you said.
Speaker 3: Must, I guess not must, but like you.
Speaker 1: Would obligated forget about obligate, you hit it in must
Speaker 1: because those are what is There's no authority in this
Speaker 1: in this universe that you, oh yeah, operating in so
Speaker 1: uh are you talking about? For your own sake?
Speaker 2: It's something that has happened to me in the past
Speaker 2: that I just think about a lot. I have both
Speaker 2: of my butt cheeks, but I have met people who
Speaker 2: have not.
Speaker 1: You've had You've met multiple people who don't have. How
Speaker 1: did I'm trying to I'm imagining in my head with that?
Speaker 1: Does that look like a guy with one leg?
Speaker 2: So like in in the instance of somebody that I
Speaker 2: had dated before who didn't say anything about it, it
Speaker 2: was kind of like Nemo's little fin where there was
Speaker 2: like a little bit of a little bit of cushion
Speaker 2: on the skin but no cheek.
Speaker 1: Cushion on the skin but no cheek, So was was
Speaker 1: it was his ass completely flat?
Speaker 2: He hadn't the other cheeks, but his he had a
Speaker 2: good portion of his other one amputated.
Speaker 1: I forget Marsa after he got what MRSA, is that
Speaker 1: a butt cheek disease?
Speaker 2: Uh, it's infection in your blood?
Speaker 1: I think, oh, okay, okay, so this is not you, okay,
Speaker 1: because I thought you had a one butt cheek and
Speaker 1: you were debating with it. To tell this is you
Speaker 1: have somehow, this is kind You're like a statistical anonymy.
Speaker 1: You've hooked up with multiple guys that only have one
Speaker 1: butt cheek.
Speaker 2: No, just just the one. But I can't assume everybody
Speaker 2: has two butt cheeks after I've met like somebody that hasn't.
Speaker 2: So I just try not to.
Speaker 1: Like, that's you know what, that's good, it's good. Easy.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't assume anything, but you know, can I just
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with anything, But I like
Speaker 1: a girl hooking up with a guy. You I feel like,
Speaker 1: from the woman's perspective, you don't really see I'm like,
Speaker 1: when I'm thinking about various sexual positions, you don't even
Speaker 1: really see the guys.
Speaker 2: But that much, No, that's that's that's why it took
Speaker 2: a while for me to like kind of find out
Speaker 2: I can't even in the room with me, And I like,
Speaker 2: are you are you missing a cheeks? And he was
Speaker 2: just like so nochal He was like yeah.
Speaker 1: Well he well, I mean he was nonchalant because that's
Speaker 1: his life. But for you, it's like, yeah, shit, this
Speaker 1: guy's missing a buttcheet. But no, I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of any I don't think there. I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of any sexual position where you are even looking at
Speaker 1: a guy's but unless if you would be like pegging him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I can't think of as any either. The
Speaker 2: thing is he also had an entire upper row of teeth,
Speaker 2: an extra one behind his front or yeah, behind his
Speaker 2: upper teeth. And I used to make the joke too him,
Speaker 2: how many teeth can you trade for a buttcheet? And
Speaker 2: he gets so mad.
Speaker 1: He sounds like you're bullying this man.
Speaker 3: Oh entirely.
Speaker 1: Why did you guys meet?
Speaker 2: We went to school together.
Speaker 1: Okay, and so you okay, And you started this conversation
Speaker 1: by asking me if I feel as though somebody is
Speaker 1: obligated to disclose their missing butt cheek before hook or.
Speaker 2: If personally you would be like, hey, I'm missing a
Speaker 2: butt cheek.
Speaker 1: Are you saying that because did you feel swindled? Did
Speaker 1: you feel as though you signed up for a full
Speaker 1: cheeks man and received a single cheeks man? What was that?
Speaker 2: No, No, not at all. I just was like reflecting on
Speaker 2: the situation myself because like I need to like walk
Speaker 2: with crutches and stuff, and sometimes like if I were
Speaker 2: to meet somebody like that I was first talking to online,
Speaker 2: I would prepase. I'm like, oh, yeah, I walk with crutches,
Speaker 2: And I was just like, I wonder if i'd do
Speaker 2: that if I was missing a butt cheek that was
Speaker 2: a properability or anything.
Speaker 1: Well, I think if I were a little bit depends.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would bring it up on the
Speaker 1: first I wouldn't bring it up at dinner. I would
Speaker 1: probably if I would probably if if I only had
Speaker 1: one butt cheek and I was getting intimate with somebody new,
Speaker 1: I would probably bring it up, like right before we
Speaker 1: would take our clothes off, just so that they're not
Speaker 1: thrown off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, you know, you asked like the SDD question,
Speaker 2: you asked the butt cheat question. God, get everything on
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 1: So ever since you met this guy, have you started
Speaker 1: asking men how many butt cheeks they have, and if so,
Speaker 1: how is that? How what have The response has been,
Speaker 1: like I've.
Speaker 2: Thought about it. I never have and everybody since has
Speaker 2: had bulf of their butt cheeks.
Speaker 1: Did now the did you? Did you? Did you have
Speaker 1: a problem with the lack of the butt cheek? Did it?
Speaker 1: Was it a Did it impede your sexual experience at all?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And I mean it's made a funny story for themainder
Speaker 2: of my days.
Speaker 1: That's so funny that you you were making fun of
Speaker 1: this guy for having no What the fuck was that?
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Just now?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, never mind, all right, we can't cut that product,
Speaker 1: or we can leave an on a good book anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, Oh, it's just funny to me that you
Speaker 1: were making fun of this guy, uh for like having
Speaker 1: one butt cheek, and he got he was upset by that.
Speaker 1: And now, however many years it's been since you stopped
Speaker 1: talking to him, you continue you can you continue to
Speaker 1: bully him for having one butt cheek?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he tried to kill me.
Speaker 1: It's fine, he already tried to kill you.
Speaker 2: He uh held me up against the wall by my
Speaker 2: neck and then pushed a knife to my stomach. Oh Jesus, Ye, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I think might have been all the anger
Speaker 2: from his buttons being gone. I think it really like torn.
Speaker 1: Apart or so this is did you like date this
Speaker 1: guy or you were just kind of hooked out with him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did the guy year.
Speaker 1: How did what? How did things escalate to that?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't. He was He's a little little unhinged. He
Speaker 2: just kind of wanted to do the thing of being like,
Speaker 2: I want to prove to you that I could kill you,
Speaker 2: so that you're like kind of afraid of me, so
Speaker 2: I'm gonna like kind of try.
Speaker 3: To kill you.
Speaker 1: Holy fuck.
Speaker 2: We didn't stay together much longer after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that would turn me off of
Speaker 1: one cheeked men forever. I would if I were you,
Speaker 1: I would forever look at, uh, the lack of two
Speaker 1: cheeks as an indicator of something much darker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should like maybe on dating profiles or something
Speaker 2: like all right, age, height, zodiac sign, what cheeks data?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily I got there are probably guys listening to
Speaker 1: this who only have one but cheet that are like,

Speaker 1: take like a cup and turn it into a barbie.
Speaker 2: More like you'll we'll take old barbies and tear them

Speaker 2: want an extra head out of it or something like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: I could do that. I'm like, well, I got this
Speaker 2: body lighting around, so like I made like an elephant

Speaker 2: Hey I didn't, But that sounds like a very therapeutic
Speaker 2: art project.
Speaker 1: Or would it be like a reminder.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. One of my recent art pieces that
Speaker 2: I did is I took a big ball gown skirt,
Speaker 2: and I like sewn a bunch of old toys and
Speaker 2: stuff that was like from my house and stuff as
Speaker 2: a kid, and some new ones too, And my partner
Speaker 2: and I went out of the backyard and we lit
Speaker 2: the toys and stuff on fire, so they're all singed
Speaker 2: and melted and burned. And then I put it on
Speaker 2: a mannequin and the piece is called let go, and
Speaker 2: there was a little signe on the fid let go.
Speaker 1: I like that. That's cool. Do you when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the toys melting, do you are you imagining them
Speaker 1: screaming in your head?
Speaker 2: No? Not necessarily. It was kind of windy that day,
Speaker 2: so as the toys are melting, I'm going, oh shit,

Speaker 1: fucked up abomination that your your brain can conceive of?
Speaker 1: What what? What's? What's? What are we doing?
Speaker 2: I'm imagining like a whole Have you seen the the

Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm going to look that up.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the official name of that. It's really cool.
Speaker 2: It's very sad, it's really cool. So I'm picturing like

Speaker 2: just like entirely melted mannequins, but there's still like parts
Speaker 2: of their scalp and tufts of hair, so you know
Speaker 2: what it was like supposed to be, although it's you know,
Speaker 2: just a pile of like skin tones.
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing this for? How does
Speaker 1: one even get into this?
Speaker 2: So I've done art for most of my life. I'm
Speaker 2: twenty three right now, and I went to school for
Speaker 2: graphic design and like kind of kicked and screened through
Speaker 2: the whole thing. But the time I was homeless, so
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I have to stay in college
Speaker 2: because like I don't have anywhere else to go. So
Speaker 2: I finished that degree and then I left, and I
Speaker 2: was just like, man, don't I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: I don't really want to see your graphic design jobs.
Speaker 2: So I had started doing this and I was lucky
Speaker 2: enough on TikTok to kind of blow up a while ago,
Speaker 2: and that was able to like kind of secure my
Speaker 2: income that I was like bouncing around out sarch for
Speaker 2: a while too, so I was really grateful to have
Speaker 2: that and be able to like figure myself out.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's a it's a lonely night for me. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And I was watching the stream and stuff, so I
Speaker 4: figured I just call and chat with you.
Speaker 1: What what's uh? Why is it so lonely?
Speaker 4: I'm in a hotel right now, I'm on the road
Speaker 4: away from home for work, and uh, I was just
Speaker 4: watching the stream and stuff. Uh so yeah, that's why
Speaker 4: I tried to call. And I didn't expect to be
Speaker 4: on the line right now. I'm gonna I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 1: What what are you traveling for for work? Okay? What
Speaker 1: do you do? I?
Speaker 4: Uh, I do boring government stuff for a specific place
Speaker 4: in the world at the Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, you work for the government of Does
Speaker 1: Canada have a government? I don't like, just what's going
Speaker 1: on over there? Do you guys do stuff? What's going on?
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I guess we're just a bunch of happy
Speaker 4: people drink maple syrup and stuff. But no, it's like
Speaker 4: it's like a USA two point zero, but with less
Speaker 4: guns and more thank you, more thank you?
Speaker 1: Do do you feel? Do people say thank you more
Speaker 1: in Canada than in the US?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I went to the US a little bit,
Speaker 4: and I mean when people order stuff in restaurant, you
Speaker 4: rarely hear them say oh can I have this please?
Speaker 4: And then thank you. It's more like, yeah, I'm going
Speaker 4: to get that. But in Canada, if you don't say
Speaker 4: please and thank you, you're like a big asshole, you know.
Speaker 1: So do you you're you're feeling lonely? Do you have
Speaker 1: Do you in general? Do you have friends and family?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it's just that I'm like probably ten
Speaker 4: hours away from from my home right now, so I'm
Speaker 4: just staying in a hotel by myself tonight. But no,
Speaker 4: I'm not lonely in general. I have a pretty decent
Speaker 4: family and a really hot wife.
Speaker 1: All right, So what the fuck are you calling me for?
Speaker 1: Go call your hot wife.
Speaker 4: She's at a dinner right now. So that's why I'm lonely.
Speaker 4: She normally I would call her, but she's at a
Speaker 4: dinner with some friends.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's a hilarious you Just the way
Speaker 1: you described that was hilarious. You said, I have a
Speaker 1: pretty decent family and a hot wife. So yeah, well,
Speaker 1: like what makes them pretty decent?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it depends of your interpretation of pretty decent.
Speaker 4: But for me, pretty decent is like very very good.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what's because when you say pretty decent,
Speaker 1: that's like you you were like referring to your children
Speaker 1: as like they're okay, which, by the way, is just
Speaker 1: you know, a perfectly legitimate way.
Speaker 4: Oh no, but I was more. I was more talking
Speaker 4: about my extended family because I don't have any kids.
Speaker 4: I just have a cat, a wife, and just like brothers,
Speaker 4: sisters and parents, that's who I was referring to. But no,
Speaker 4: we don't have any kids yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, where did you meet your hot wife?
Speaker 4: You know you're asking that question, and I feel like
Speaker 4: that's a great story to tell. I wasn't calling to
Speaker 4: tell that story, but if you want to hear it
Speaker 4: and tell you about it.
Speaker 1: Well, you said, were you calling for something? You weren't
Speaker 1: calling for any particular reason.
Speaker 4: Not really. I figured I was just gonna go on
Speaker 4: the fly and see what would happen. But now that
Speaker 4: you asked that question, I feel like it's a pretty decent,
Speaker 4: decent story to tell.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, now that I know that for you, decent
Speaker 1: is a good thing, I would love to hear the story.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll try to make it short. So I was
Speaker 4: working out of the province, and so for the American listeners,
Speaker 4: province it's just the Canadian word for states. So I
Speaker 4: was working out of province on construction back in the days,
Speaker 4: i'd say, like ten years ago, and I decided to
Speaker 4: sell my car when I came back from in my
Speaker 4: original province.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: So, I put my car on sale on a website
Speaker 4: that's called the KEYGGI it's like Craigslist, I guess, but
Speaker 4: we don't have Craigslist in Canada. So I was using
Speaker 4: that website. So I came back home from work and
Speaker 4: someone came to visit me to buy my car. And
Speaker 4: it's that hot lady that came. So we spent a
Speaker 4: couple hours together looking at the car drove and then
Speaker 4: she wasn't sure if she was gonna buy it or not.
Speaker 4: And she ended up deciding to buy it. So after
Speaker 4: because I'm a good person, I provided her with after
Speaker 4: sale consultation and some texts to understand how the car
Speaker 4: was going if she she was all right with the
Speaker 4: car and stuff. And a week later we went on
Speaker 4: our first date. And now she's my wife. She's been
Speaker 4: my wife for ten years.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's pretty cool. Well that's cool that you
Speaker 1: still find her hot after ten years old.
Speaker 4: I mean we're still pretty young too, so like I'm
Speaker 4: twenty nine and she's twenty nine two, so I mean
Speaker 4: we're not really old. So she's still hot and I
Speaker 4: think she has a lot of hotness left in her,
Speaker 4: if you know what I mean. So when people ask
Speaker 4: where we meet, I say, well we meet. We met
Speaker 4: on a car sales website. It's kind of weird, but
Speaker 4: that's how it happened. Some people meet him Tinder or
Speaker 4: Facebook dating. I guess we met on autotrader dot com.
Speaker 1: You know, that's cool that you guys could say a
Speaker 1: lot of For some reason, people are like they think
Speaker 1: of twenty nine as like old, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean they some people do think that
Speaker 4: it's kind of old. But for me. I don't think
Speaker 4: of it like that. I still have a because one
Speaker 4: thing I noticed is that when I turned eighteen, I
Speaker 4: feel like everything after that is just a number. Like
Speaker 4: I feel like I stayed pretty much the same person
Speaker 4: from eighteen to now. But I'm just getting older with
Speaker 4: the number, and also my body is getting shittier, but
Speaker 4: like you know that, the brain kind of stays the same.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know what I where I'm
Speaker 4: getting at with that.
Speaker 1: You know, do you feel as though you're the same
Speaker 1: person at twenty nine as you were when you were nineteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of yeah. I mean a little bit more
Speaker 4: responsibility with like money and adulting shit, But like I
Speaker 4: still feel like I'm the same person, because when you
Speaker 4: compare like twelve years old to fifteen to sixteen to eighteen,
Speaker 4: it feels like you're you're a different person every step
Speaker 4: of the way. But like now that I'm twenty nine,
Speaker 4: when I look back at when I was twenty, I
Speaker 4: feel like same person, just different age number.
Speaker 1: No hmmm, uh yeah, I mean that's good. Like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I every dude, I mean, for me,
Speaker 1: every fucking month of my life, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: a different person every month. I'm like, man, last month,
Speaker 1: I was really fucking stupid, but this month I'm I'm
Speaker 1: finally a real adult.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and what what is it that you did recently
Speaker 4: that make you think of yourself as too good person
Speaker 4: or as that you did something stupid? I'd like you
Speaker 4: to share that with us.
Speaker 1: Oh, man, now you're the therapy. Get go. Let me
Speaker 1: think that's a good question. Man, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I think. Ah, Man, just a lot of like, like
Speaker 1: I know, I'll get into an argument with somebody and
Speaker 1: then I'll be like, why was I upset about that thing?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Or like I'll uh uh, I don't know, just just
Speaker 1: just I had a funck. I wish I had a
Speaker 1: more specific example, but just general irresponsibility that I feel
Speaker 1: as though I uh uh learned from each day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I get it. But I mean if if,
Speaker 4: if you're not really able to find like a really
Speaker 4: precise explanation, maybe you're not a thing as stupid as
Speaker 4: you think you are. Right. Sometimes maybe it's just a
Speaker 4: matter of stopping looking where you are in life and
Speaker 4: being like, eh, the fuck I got it?
Speaker 1: You know, Maybe maybe you're right. Maybe I'm too hard
Speaker 1: on myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're you're sitting I don't know if
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're sitting at home right now,
Speaker 4: or if it's like an office or anything. You don't
Speaker 4: You don't have to say that, but you have to
Speaker 4: look at what you've built. Right You have an audience
Speaker 4: right now. People are are watching you and they're obviously
Speaker 4: entertained by what you're doing. So I feel like you
Speaker 4: should be proud of yourself.
Speaker 1: No Ah, thanks man, geez, you guys really are a
Speaker 1: lot nicer in Canada.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to represent my fellow Canadian's friend.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, man, you man, you really called in
Speaker 1: like I'm alone in a hotel. I thought you were
Speaker 1: like suicidal.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: You called in like I'm alone in a hotel room
Speaker 1: and what I'm gonna do? And I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: be your friend for you know, ten minutes and here
Speaker 1: and it's totally flipped. You've you've fucking you know, you
Speaker 1: got into my brain.
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, well, I mean the helper always needs to
Speaker 4: get help once in a while.
Speaker 1: You know, what part of Canada are you in?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: Do you are?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 1: Are you anywhere near Toronto or Vancouver? Uh?
Speaker 4: No, neither of neither of. I'm from the the only
Speaker 4: French part of Canada.
Speaker 1: Oh, Montreal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Montreal is the biggest city of the province.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you I do you speak are you? Like, do
Speaker 1: you speak French?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, my first language is uh French. But I did
Speaker 4: work for over three four years in English provinces, so
Speaker 4: I'm able to learn English that way. Well.
Speaker 1: It's funny because you I you your accent sounds Canadian,
Speaker 1: but there's you also do sound a little European, maybe,
Speaker 1: like like I would like if you told me you
Speaker 1: were German, I would believe you.
Speaker 4: Well, I I guess that's uh, that's probably the the
Speaker 4: mixture of Canadian and uh, the French Canadian. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I also learned my English and Alberta, so it probably
Speaker 4: sounds a little bit uh redneck Canadian. That's probably a
Speaker 4: reason too. So I have like probably I guess, three
Speaker 4: different accents in there. Mumm hmm.
Speaker 1: So what does your wife do if you I still
Speaker 1: don't really know what you do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that's pretty much it. I feel like it
Speaker 4: would be too boring and more complicated to get into
Speaker 4: that and in in back all and and that's not
Speaker 4: really the important thing. But my lovely hot wife works
Speaker 4: in uh, I guess, in the hospital healthcare kind of
Speaker 4: kind of thing. She do tests for hearts, brains, and
Speaker 4: nerves and ship some smart people. Thing that I can't
Speaker 4: really understand.
Speaker 1: You know, sounds hot what I said, it sounds hot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of sounds hot. Because one one of
Speaker 4: the tests she actually does is for for I guess,
Speaker 4: guys in general that have problem for their for their
Speaker 4: wieners to go up, you know, racild dysfunction. So there's
Speaker 4: a test that she puts electrodes on those guys is penises,
Speaker 4: and she fucking shocks them.
Speaker 1: Have you ever asked her to do that to you?
Speaker 4: No, I thought about it, but I never asked her.
Speaker 4: But now that you say it, I mean, I guess
Speaker 4: I should.
Speaker 1: I well, I don't know. I don't know if is that.
Speaker 1: I think in the US, at least, like there's a
Speaker 1: thing you can't like be the patient of one of
Speaker 1: your family members. I think, like you can't have like
Speaker 1: your dad be your doctor and shit. But like I
Speaker 1: don't know, Canada, there's no fucking laws or anything, so
Speaker 1: you could probably do it there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, with like I mean, if I don't know if
Speaker 4: you have a girlfriend or not, and you don't have
Speaker 4: to divulge that information. But I mean, if you had
Speaker 4: a girlfriend and she she was to be like a
Speaker 4: professional at shocking penises, yeah, would you like and and
Speaker 4: there's no like there's no issue with like policies and
Speaker 4: rules in regulation and like she's free to do anything
Speaker 4: she wants. Would you like ask her to shock your penis?
Speaker 1: Ah, well, your your wife. Is she shocking hard penises
Speaker 1: or soft penises?
Speaker 4: No, she's I assume.
Speaker 1: Well if it's because if it's guys who are having
Speaker 1: a Rechtyle's function, I assume I assume she's shocking soft
Speaker 1: penises to make to like wake them up, make them
Speaker 1: hard again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I I well, I mean I'm not really sure, but
Speaker 4: I guess if she's doing it because they can't have
Speaker 4: a boner. I mean, I I guess they're doing it
Speaker 4: to test the nerves.
Speaker 1: And I haven't asked back. I have an answer to
Speaker 1: your question. The answer is no. And here's why, because
Speaker 1: of one of two things is gonna happen. Right, Either
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like it or I'm not. And if I
Speaker 1: don't like it, it's probably gonna be an unpleasant experience
Speaker 1: for me, and if I do like it now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to fucking shock my penis every time I
Speaker 1: wanna come. And so I would I would rather even
Speaker 1: if like it was some undiscovered thing that is very
Speaker 1: sexually pleasurable, I'd rather be ignorant to it because if
Speaker 1: if I realized that's what I was into, I'd have
Speaker 1: to buy a bunch of expensive equipment and i'd have
Speaker 1: to read, you know, go wash the pads every five,
Speaker 1: you know times, and it'd be it'd be a whole thing.
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a beneficial No benefit could
Speaker 1: come from it. Yeah, what about you? Would you let
Speaker 1: your wife shock your penis?
Speaker 4: I guess I guess i'd try it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a professional penis show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean she knows what is. She knows what
Speaker 4: she's doing, right, What like I mean the question, I mean,
Speaker 4: I feel like your response is is not a great
Speaker 4: one because I feel like you decided decide more on
Speaker 4: on on the fear side of your brain than like
Speaker 4: being adventurous. Uh, don't you think you're Like? Yeah, I
Speaker 4: feel like you prefer not to try just in case
Speaker 4: I like it. But what what's bad about liking it?
Speaker 4: You know, like, what are you afraid of about liking
Speaker 4: your penis getting shot?
Speaker 1: Dude? Will you be my therapist? I actually need you
Speaker 1: in my life to tell me these things, correct, you
Speaker 1: know what. I don't know why, I don't know where.
Speaker 1: Over the years, I've like just lost myself. You know,
Speaker 1: You're right, man, You're right, I do know what. I'm
Speaker 1: being a little bit serious here. I I do live
Speaker 1: a lot of I I you know, I I put
Speaker 1: on a show like I'm you know, uh uh, not
Speaker 1: scared of anything. But I've been living by fear too much.
Speaker 1: And this thing that we're talking about right now, of
Speaker 1: me saying that I would be too scared to shock
Speaker 1: my penis is a great example of that. And you're right.
Speaker 1: I needed you to tell me that I'm going to
Speaker 1: try to stop living by my fear and if, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, we get into a situation where your wife
Speaker 1: asks me.
Speaker 4: To shock my penis, y, Yeah, I don't feel like
Speaker 4: my wife would would ask you to shock your penis.
Speaker 4: But I was more talking about like your wife, if
Speaker 4: you had one, right, like my wife unfortunately is not
Speaker 4: for rent or for sale. So that's that's number one,
Speaker 4: but I would encourage you to find yourself a wife
Speaker 4: that could shock your penis. But coming back to that fear, I.
Speaker 1: Made a picture of you with that quote underneath it
Speaker 1: to look at every morning when I wake up.
Speaker 4: Do you think that the costume and the face paint
Speaker 4: you put is a way for you to like express
Speaker 4: your personality without actually being yourself, because yeah, you're afraid
Speaker 4: to express who you are wild being yourself.
Speaker 1: No, it's not a fear thing, but it's a I mean, look,
Speaker 1: most most people who are going to hear this conversation
Speaker 1: right now, they hear it on audio, so they don't
Speaker 1: even like know that I'm wearing a costume right now.
Speaker 1: It's it's my voice, it's me. But you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: as far as the costume goes, h well, I just
Speaker 1: look if I if I had like a if I
Speaker 1: got on here and I was like, hey, folks, I'm
Speaker 1: Lyle and this is the Lyle Show starring me Lyle,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd feel like such a fucking douchebag. I
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I like being a weird, unexplainable,
Speaker 1: cryptid thing. Ye, I'm like a little creature. It's fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's yeah, I guess, and that that's how
Speaker 4: you were able to become famous by being the therapy gecko.
Speaker 1: Right, what's in what's in the mini bar of this hotel?
Speaker 4: Uh? Do you mean like in my room?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, there's a mini bars in hotels aren't really a
Speaker 4: thing in Canada, unfortunately, I.
Speaker 1: Guess there's nothing in there. It's just like an empty refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Are you a drinker? Are Canadians big drinkers?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: They I'd say, yeah, I guess, I kid, probably probably
Speaker 4: more than in the US.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially i'd say in the eastern part of Canada.
Speaker 4: I guess we're pretty big beer drinker.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Is there is there anything else that you
Speaker 4: wanted to share with me tonight?

Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you want to say or
Speaker 1: tell us before we go?
Speaker 4: No, I I feel like I'll let some other people
Speaker 4: share their live story with you. But uh, it was
Speaker 4: great talking to you and also fun. Fun fact, for

Speaker 4: needed to do that, and and it'll it'll make me

Speaker 4: will be happy that you shocked your penis.
Speaker 1: Hey, stay, stay frosting. Hey, you do see. I know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like it. I know I'm gonna like it,
Speaker 1: And then I have to fucking go on Amazon and search.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the medical term is for
Speaker 1: a penis shocking machine, and it probably costs several hundreds
Speaker 1: of dollars. But that's fear talking. God damn it, and
Speaker 1: I'm not living by that anymore.
Speaker 3: Paul from Caroline.
Speaker 1: Hello, whoa, what's up?
Speaker 3: I got in that's crazy.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Caroline?

Speaker 2: No, we have not.
Speaker 1: Well, Uh, what's up? With you. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, just living life, trying to exist.
Speaker 1: Okay, living life and trying to exist. That's the best
Speaker 1: thing you could ever try. That's really That's really what
Speaker 1: everybody's doing, whether they know they are or not.
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 1: It's totally cool. If not, we can, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just shoot the ship. But is there anything in particular
Speaker 1: that you called in to want to talk about?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Actually, uh so, uh have a therapist, I rail,
Speaker 3: but why not talk to a get goo too about it?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 3: So? Uh, I'm a lesbian woo uh and I've been
Speaker 3: dating my girlfriend for six years nice and we are
Speaker 3: trying to start getting into like open relationships stuff. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: and it's really scary.
Speaker 1: Mmmm mmm tell me tell okay, so tell me what
Speaker 1: the uh uh? What led up to the trying?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 1: Who brought it up? What? What? How did you? How
Speaker 1: did you get here?
Speaker 3: I she brought it up first? Actually she so again,
Speaker 3: like about a year after us dating, she was just
Speaker 3: kind of like, hey, I think I'm a sexual and
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, well I'm not, but I like what
Speaker 3: we have going on. And we've been riding that for
Speaker 3: about five years really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, m okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. It's some of those things like
Speaker 3: the more I've looked into it, the more I've realized
Speaker 3: other people deal with this, and I wanted to become
Speaker 3: like a norm of like, hey, like it's okay to
Speaker 3: be nominogamous.
Speaker 1: Mm. So your girlfriend, So your girlfriend told you she
Speaker 1: was a sexual, you said, five years ago? And so
Speaker 1: have you not had then?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, no, it's been it's been pu it was January
Speaker 3: or last year, not that I'm keeping tracks.
Speaker 1: Okay, And so was it? So did she bring it
Speaker 1: up as kind of a like, listen, I'm asexual, and
Speaker 1: I know that you have a a desire which I
Speaker 1: cannot fail, and I I love you and want you
Speaker 1: to be able to fulfill your desire, So we should
Speaker 1: open open the gates essentially.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like she just she's she just knows that there's
Speaker 3: like things that she can't provide for me. But we
Speaker 3: have a very healthy and happy relationship otherwise.
Speaker 1: Right, So what you're saying, you're scared? Why are you?
Speaker 1: What you tell me what the scaredness is about?
Speaker 3: It's just the unknown. And also haven't like tried to
Speaker 3: date or flirt or hook up with anybody in six years,
Speaker 3: so you know it's kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Well, is that is is the idea of like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what your what the game plan would be,
Speaker 1: but is the idea of like going hopping on the
Speaker 1: tinder or the the going to the club or doing
Speaker 1: whatever to try to go and like hook up with people.
Speaker 1: Is that is that like an exciting idea to you
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 3: A little bit like I like, like I like things
Speaker 3: started with so that's nice, but like I'm just a
Speaker 3: generally awkward person.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm hmm. Yeah. Well, well if you're if the
Speaker 1: whole thing is like, oh I'm I hate the idea
Speaker 1: of going out and trying to get laid, is that it?
Speaker 1: Or is that not yet? But is that a part
Speaker 1: of it for me? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, not really, because like I don't know, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm not really like a one night stand kind of person.
Speaker 3: I've done it a couple of times and always felt
Speaker 3: really weird and bad. Okay, but it's also when I
Speaker 3: was trying to be straight and hook me up with
Speaker 3: guys and that sucked no offenseman, So so then what
Speaker 3: tell me, what is what's your ideal situation? I guess
Speaker 3: someone like that I'm like friends with that we can
Speaker 3: hook up with, like you know, yeah, but also like
Speaker 3: not like she like again like my girlfriend, like she
Speaker 3: wants to be like aware, like it's not some big
Speaker 3: secret thing. But also I don't think she's like really
Speaker 3: wanting to be like, oh I have to know every
Speaker 3: single detail of what's happening.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you like, what's your what's your therapist told you?
Speaker 1: You said you've talked to a therapist? What do they say.
Speaker 3: That? Well, wait, we didn't get a ton into it.
Speaker 3: She was just kind of more affirming the like that
Speaker 3: it's okay to be scared and it's okay to be
Speaker 3: uncomfortable with things like this, and like, good job me
Speaker 3: and my girlfriends for trying to start something new and
Speaker 3: be open and communicate about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: And she recommended a She recommended a book an audiobook
Speaker 3: I've been listening to it called panned pan Secure by
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, what's the what's the author's name, Jessica Firn
Speaker 3: pan Secure by Jessica Fern. It's all about different consensual
Speaker 3: non monogamy.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, okay, what's it? Pan secure? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sorry, polysecure polysecure, Oh.
Speaker 1: Poly secure, poly secure. Okay, so you're trying to practice
Speaker 1: what what what they call ethical non monogamy? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: And like.
Speaker 3: From what I've listened to of this book so far,
Speaker 3: it makes it seem like it's actually something that like
Speaker 3: a lot of people might benefit from, I'm sure, and
Speaker 3: like it's just not like a social norm and there's
Speaker 3: a lot of I guess, stigma around it and misunderstanding
Speaker 3: of what that means because there's so many Like the
Speaker 3: things that I've learned from this book so far is
Speaker 3: that there's so many different levels of consensual non monogamy.
Speaker 1: Mmmm, what tell me about the like, like, is there
Speaker 1: an I don't know, there's a stupid question, but is
Speaker 1: there like a level that you identify with on these
Speaker 1: on these these levels that have been laid out for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, definitely, that's not a stupid question at all.
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of more of like there's like monogamish.
Speaker 1: And monogamish.
Speaker 2: Hate.
Speaker 3: I hate that that's the term because it sounds no,
Speaker 3: what do you mean you hate that?
Speaker 1: That's the term. That's a fantastic term, monogamish.
Speaker 3: And also I didn't come up with it so I
Speaker 3: learned it.
Speaker 1: That's you never heard that before. That's a great term
Speaker 1: to describe something.
Speaker 3: It's you know, agama slash like open relationship where like
Speaker 3: most of the emotional and most like the emotional support
Speaker 3: you get comes from your main relationship. Again, I pardon
Speaker 3: anyone who's listening who I'm getting this wrong. I don't
Speaker 3: want to misquote the book, but you get essentially your
Speaker 3: emotional support from your main partner, and then any sexual
Speaker 3: support that you don't feel like you're lacking you can
Speaker 3: seek elsewhere.
Speaker 1: M hm. You know you said that the book is
Speaker 1: making you realize that that there's a lot more people
Speaker 1: out there doing this than than maybe you had thought.
Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, I mean, do you fucking human
Speaker 1: sexuality and emotions and relationships are like so infinitely complicated
Speaker 1: and very infinitely across the eight trillion people that live
Speaker 1: on the earth that like, you know, to con find
Speaker 1: it to one thing you know, is a crazy is
Speaker 1: to me a crazier idea than uh, you know, deviating
Speaker 1: from the norm. Okay, so you're reading this book and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I think I might want to be
Speaker 1: monogami ish what and so like, do you have a
Speaker 1: I don't know, a a a game plan at all
Speaker 1: of how you want to go out and meet people
Speaker 1: or like how you want to kind of what you
Speaker 1: want to do to move forward in this next phase
Speaker 1: of your relationship that you're looking into exploring.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's just what I'm figuring out. There's this app
Speaker 3: that I downloaded. I already forgot the name of it,
Speaker 3: but it's for like people like looking for you know,
Speaker 3: unconventional interactions and relationships and stuff, and like I don't
Speaker 3: live in a small town, but it's also not like
Speaker 3: a big city. So like I kind of scrolled through
Speaker 3: the entire the entire uh listing essentially already. I don't
Speaker 3: think that's gonna be the answer.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're not an app kind of gal.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean to be fair, My my girlfriend and
Speaker 3: I we met on tender again six years ago, so like,
Speaker 3: I like, I do believe there's there's something.
Speaker 4: To it, sure, And I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 3: Even remember how to meet people, Like I've just been
Speaker 3: in a relationship for so long, so you.
Speaker 1: Know, it's a weird. It's a weird thing being single
Speaker 1: because there's, uh, there's excitement to it as well. As
Speaker 1: anxiety to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the thing is like, it's I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's kind of the excitement of being like, oh, like
Speaker 3: maybe this will be something, but also not because I
Speaker 3: have a lot of supportant stuff that I need already, right,
Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't know. I was out with some
Speaker 3: friends the other night and like one of them who's by,
Speaker 3: she was like kind of flirting with me, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh wow, I forgot what this is like
Speaker 3: because she's like aware of the whole becoming open situation.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's actually interested in becoming a part
Speaker 3: of that, but I was just okay by someone else
Speaker 3: that's okay.
Speaker 1: It felt so it felt nice to be to be
Speaker 1: to be flirted with with this person. Did that did
Speaker 1: her flirting with you kind of like, uh make you?
Speaker 1: Because you said you were feeling scared about this whole
Speaker 1: thing and then here's a little sliver of it you're getting.
Speaker 1: You're you're flirting with somebody outside of your relationship. Uh
Speaker 1: that was that exciting to you? Did that? Did that
Speaker 1: help you navigate your your scaredness at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I definitely think so. And also just knowing that like
Speaker 3: my girlfriend is okay, with this. So it was just
Speaker 3: kind of like there was like no guilt involved.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 3: And so it's like a whole new world because like
Speaker 3: it's just this whole thing where I don't know, society
Speaker 3: is just told us like, no, you're not supposed to
Speaker 3: do that. You're in a relationship. But like if the
Speaker 3: boundaries are set, you can act within those boundaries as
Speaker 3: much as you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't I think that. You know, it's
Speaker 1: you can to two consenting adults can live beyond what society,
Speaker 1: uh you know tells them is what they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing. Yeah, And uh, I don't know. Also, it's
Speaker 1: just like it's not who gives a ship. It's not
Speaker 1: anyone else's life but yours, you know exactly. And people
Speaker 1: I've heard people say like, oh, polyamory doesn't work and whatever.
Speaker 1: I have no fucking idea, but people are people that
Speaker 1: poly amory doesn't we nothing, fucking monogamy doesn't we nothing
