0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>in today, so so let's let's do that. I'm not

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 2>even I'm turning all the brightness on my computer down

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 2>and I've been looking at the fucking computer.

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Uh on the phone.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>What's up, Chelsea? How you doing?

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm good. I'm just I'm hanging out with this cat

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 3>that I'm fostering. I just got home from being out

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>in the city. I also live in New York City.

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>What were you doing out? What were you doing out?

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I was meeting up with a friend who we both

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 3>like working for each other, but like don't meet up

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 3>that often, and we were just like, why don't we

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 3>do this? So we we finally did it, and now

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 3>we're planning like an October fest you know, outing on partifle.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 3>So we were we were kind of like bonding over

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 3>the fact that, like we have all these friends that

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 3>are like, let's hang out, and then we never do.

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 3>So we're trying to take action on that.

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>That's good. Yeah, it's always good to hang out with

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>your friends, unless if your friends are our serial killers.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm m I'm going to try to have a normal conversation.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I'm feeling the need to do

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>to do that. Okay, let me ask you this, Chelsea,

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's fine if not. We can go in a

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>million different directions with directions with this. But was there

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>anything specific that you uh you said You've been listening

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>to the podcast for a long time, so you've probably

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>heard all the things. And I'm not saying necessarily that

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 2>we have to talk about any depressing things from your life,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 2>unless if you want to. But I am saying that, uh,

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, you've been listening to the podcast, you kind

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of understand, uh, what's up? So I'll ask you if

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>is there anything in particular that you wanted to dive

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>into while we're while I'm motherfucking locked in to the

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>phone right now.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, there was something I thought of so you know

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 3>that one caller that was talking about they were like

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 3>on their first date in the car.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking of about that today, if you

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>would believe it?

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I listened to that episode, and then I

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 3>was listening to the gek Mail episode where they followed

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 3>up on that. M Do you remember that?

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>How I do?

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 3>She was like, this is what, like, this is my

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 3>message to everyone else out there, and like I was

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 3>going through it like with just like a weird non

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>relationship thing, and then that like really inspired me to,

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, make an effort in like fully putting myself

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 3>out there and what I really want, and I think

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I found it. And it's like it's weird, like a

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 3>plot twist happened, but yeah it's I gained hope from

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 3>that and it worked out really well.

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>It sounds it was that easy.

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean it like not easy, Like it definitely took

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 3>like a bunch of trials and errors, and like after

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>an error, I would go like months or maybe even

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 3>like years without trying anything. But then this time I

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 3>was just like, Okay, I'm just gonna be honest and

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 3>be like, you know, I'm a very emotional, romantic person

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 3>and like I don't want to date people that are

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>super nonchalant about stuff and pretending like we don't like

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>each other. And then I was like, I guess I

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 3>got lucky, or I mean, who knows, maybe this person

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>is also crazy. You never know, but it's crazy how

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>when you feel secure in something that you're not like

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 3>constantly spiraling and like feeling anxious all the time. Because

0:04:53.320 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 3>I definitely have anxiety over things calm.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>So since you you've found in this secure relationship, you've

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 2>been feeling more calm.

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I was. I was telling my sister, like

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>she lives in California, and I was like, yeah, I

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 3>don't really call you as much because normally I'm like

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 3>sirling out over something, but now I'm just, you know,

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel great, so I feel bad.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 2>How long have you been with this guy for?

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's only it's only been a month, but

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 3>it's been a very promising and consistent month, Like.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is yeah, this is this is one of

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the can I can I ask how old you are?

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm thirty two.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and you just met this skuy a month ago? Yeah,

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and this is the this is the would you say

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>this is the calmest you've felt in a while.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I was even telling him. I was like, I'm normally

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm normally like really nervous around like guys or people

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 3>that I'm meeting up with, and like, I'm strangely calm.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Are you are you? Do you feel calm in general?

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which is kind of crazy because I definitely am, like,

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 3>like I have anxiety, I'm being treated for it. But yeah,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 3>it's it's nice, It's very refreshing.

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I think, Yeah, yeah, this is really funny because there's

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of there's competing narratives that exist in the world,

0:06:54.720 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>each of them possessing their own validities. I promise I'm

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 2>going to say something. There's competing narratives in the world,

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>each of them possessing their own validities. One narrative says

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>that all you have to do to become happy is

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to get what you want, and that's what makes sense.

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, you want love, and then when you find it,

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you feel better. And then there are narratives that go,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>you actually need to not want anything, and you have

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to be okay with being alone and poor and living

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>in a tree. And the answer, as I understand it,

0:07:53.160 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>lies somewhere between those two places. Right, because I just

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a weird, bullshit narrative. I think it's a bullshit

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 2>narrative that yeah, uh, you know you're supposed to be

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>totally okay being alone. I think it pisses people off.

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>But on the flip side is, of course, if your

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>whole life mission is to uh find someone to make

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you not anxious, then there's something weird. It's not a

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like very not black and white in either direction.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>That's just what I don't That's just what's going That's

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>just what's going through my mind as I'm hearing you

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about this. What did you see?

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 3>No, I was gonna say, like I saw something where

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 3>it's like everyone says that, you know, it takes a

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 3>village and everyone needs their village. But nowadays people can't

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>really deal with being inconvenienced. But that's kind of the

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 3>point of like having those people is like you know,

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>you would go out of your way to make them

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>feel included. And I think that's like it's something that

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 3>I've thought about, you know, when it comes to like

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 3>having people in your life, Like, am I getting back

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 3>as much as I put in? And I feel like

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 3>nowadays people are so quick to write things off as like,

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, well, I'm not really getting anything in return,

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 3>so like I'm just not gonna put any effort into it.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, uh, it's a give and take, so you

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 3>feel calm. Yeah, it's very strange.

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>This is the first time you're thirty two. This is

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>the first time you ever felt.

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Calm, I mean relationship wise. Yeah, it's like I haven't

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 3>had much experience in adult relationships, but yeah, it feels nice.

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 4>Mm hm hm hmm.

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I was gonna say, but I got into your

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>podcast because I used to go on long walks and

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 3>just like listen to your podcast whenever I would be

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 3>like crashing out over something, and it really helps to,

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, just listen to other people's stories and perspective.

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 3>And I would recommend it to my friends whenever they're

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 3>going through something. I would be like, I go on

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 3>these things called email walks, and I would just put

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 3>on my headphones and walk around the city and listen

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>to a podcast. That way, I'm not like thinking about

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 3>my own situations.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm I'm happy to be uh an accompaniment of

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>your emo walk. I treat I'm honored dear that hmm.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 5>Hmmm.

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>So this is the so after many years, you're like, Okay,

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>let me finally really try to put myself out there.

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, and I think what really also clicked was

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 3>like being honest with myself and like it's okay that

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm I feel like I'm needy in relationships and you know,

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>now I've learned, like you know, you'll find some You'll

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 3>find someone that is okay with that. Because this guy

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 3>was like, I want to worship you, and you know,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 3>I want to be with you. And he was very

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, vocal about he said.

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>He said he wanted to worship you.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then I told him, I was like, I

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 3>think that's like my thing, I think, and that's I

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 3>think that's a thing that people have, your.

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Your your your thing is that you want to be worshiped.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and yeah. We had a whole conversation about it,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 3>and she's on board.

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Interesting, what is that? What does that mean to

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 2>you to be worshiped?

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean like so far, it's just like it's the attentiveness.

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, he'll text me every night and every morning

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 3>like good morning, beautiful, Chelsea, good night beautiful Chelsea. It's

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 3>very it's very sweet and romantic and yeah, I feel

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 3>like I have this full attention a lot of times,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 3>which is great.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>See how older or younger?

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 3>He's two years younger. But I'm a I am a

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.119
<v Speaker 3>benevolent goddess, not malevolent.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmm okay, okay, does that worry you at all?

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Like do you risk? Can you have respect for someone

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>who blindly worships you?

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I do in a sense of like we we really

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>had a connection before this conversation came up, and you know,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 3>we were both like, is it love bombing if we're

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 3>both on board with it and into it? I don't know,

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 3>but no, I I think I respect it because to me,

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a man who can lean into his

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 3>romantic side. Like I like that because I've dated guys

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 3>before where like they won't even hold my hand, and

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, what's the point, Like do you even

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 3>like me?

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>You know guys who won't hold your fucking hand?

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No, these exist, They're out there.

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And crazy.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I don't know, Like growing up, I would

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 3>be like eupda, But now that I'm in a relationship,

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, no, I like PDA, like to to a

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 3>reasonable extent, But it's I feel like it's just been

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>a process of like being honest with myself and like, no,

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I like feeling this way or I like these things,

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 3>and it's okay, how did you How did.

0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>You meet this this gentlemen?

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 3>I met him on Hinge? I had the app for like,

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>I've downloaded it and deleted it many a time, and

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 3>this time I redownloaded it and it was about like

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 3>a weekend and he seemed nice.

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmm, that's really nice. It sounds uh, this sounds good.

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 2>This sounds like a good thing. Maybe probably probably probably

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 2>it's probably a good thing.

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, I mean it gives you hopefully optimistic.

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I mean.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Uh, pautiously optimistic good things.

0:15:51.120 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Happening in your life is good? Yeah, yes, right, right right.

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where. I don't know where I came.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I hope. I feel like this is connected

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to what you're saying. At least in my brain it is.

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 2>But I think I somewhere along the line fell into

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>some stoic ideation that you know, you should enjoy life

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>however it is. But and there's truth to this, truth

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>to that, but also uh, falsehood to it. I think, Yeah,

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 2>be careful. I guess I don't know.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I'm definitely like I feel like I've had

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 3>enough experiences dabbling in relationships and like I yeah, I'm

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.479
<v Speaker 3>seeing green green flags.

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Good good. Chelsea. There's a whole neighborhood in New York

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 2>called Chelsea.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I know I work in that neighborhood. I have to

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 3>really like close my ears all the time.

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea and Chelsea. Yeah, mm hmmm, well what now it's Chelsea? Yeah,

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 2>before we go? What now?

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 4>What's?

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh? What now?

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 5>What now?

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea?

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I think we just have to be honest with ourselves

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 3>in what we want and at the same time, you know,

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 3>be cautious, but don't stop yourself from putting yourself out there,

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, Yollo.

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 2>people of the computer before we go? Chelsea?

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I've thought about this. Get a bidet if you

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 3>don't have one.

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 2>We need a bidet sponsor. I'm dying to get a

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>good day. Man. I hate my asshole is always changing

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 2>covered in diarrhea. I'm trying to get a good day.

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it'll change your life. It's a great feeling.

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Chelsea. You have a good rest of the night.

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Bye. Thank you.

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:22.919
<v Speaker 4>Hello, what's up?

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Hey? What's up?

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>What's your name?

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 4>Not much, man, I just wanted to see you. Know, No,

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 4>I feel like no one ever hass how you're doing?

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing, buddy?

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 2>How am I doing?

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, sir?

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 2>My honest answer is that I actually I don't really

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about how I'm doing, to be honest,

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 2>but I want to talk about how you're doing. You

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 2>texted me? Can I tell? You texted me? And you

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>said Chelsea was kind of crazy, a lot of red

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 2>flags in her and that relationship. And yeah, I don't

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 2>know if I necessarily agree, but I would love to

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 2>have the conversation as to why you believe that.

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 4>I just feel like a month in and wanting to

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 4>be worshiped is kind of something I wouldn't necessarily think

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 4>is the most healthy thing. M Being in a situation

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 4>that I have been in before, where you know, you

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 4>get a little bit obsessed about someone, not necessarily obsessed,

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 4>but really enthralled with it can lead to some really

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 4>hard times.

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Tell Okay, it sounds like you're speaking from some form

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>of personal experience. Do you do you care to share?

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh? Yeah, So basically, it just you know, you get

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 4>you get really attached to someone, and then when things

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:14.919
<v Speaker 4>aren't always ideal, you know, health issues, things of that

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 4>nature start to occur. A lot of hardship happens. And

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 4>when someone grows accustomed to being quote unquote worshiped, it

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 4>tends to lead to a lot of troubled times when

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 4>you know you can't you can't do that for them,

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 4>when you need to try and focus on yourself, If

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 4>that makes any sense. Yes, and so I'm worried that,

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, and I mean no disrespector but it's just

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 4>it can lead to a lot of really hard times

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 4>down the road when that's what your relationship is kind

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:57.719
<v Speaker 4>of become and almost based on, and it no longer is.

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I see what you mean. I see what you mean,

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>because something can start off with a dynamic of I

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 2>want to worship you, and then you can debate as

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 2>to how uh fuck you can debate as to how

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 2>sustainable that dynamic is. Yes, I agree, exactly, I agree exactly.

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I agree, And that.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Can lead to a lot of really really tough decisions

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 4>and hard times, you know, a little bit farther down

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 4>the road. Not necessarily saying that it will always happen,

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 4>but it definitely can, and most times it leads to

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 4>really tough decisions that are later in life. I mean,

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 4>I know that she was in her early thirties, so

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, if it happens when you're forty, these things

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 4>can become even more like stating how old are you, sir,

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm thirty one.

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Did you have a woman in your life once you

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 2>you worshiped.

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say worshiped, but it was like a heavy codependency.

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure, yeah yeah, or that want or or that wanted

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.399
<v Speaker 2>you to worship her.

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Innocent. Yeah, like a big sense of not like what

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.919
<v Speaker 4>you do for me, but always expecting me to, you know,

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 4>be the provider of financial or emotional or mental help.

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's funny, I I I've had my own experience

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 2>with something like this, and it was hard to gauge

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:03.160
<v Speaker 2>because I actually I enjoy I enjoyed it. I'd lie

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.239
<v Speaker 2>if I say if I said I didn't enjoy it,

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 2>because I liked I liked the idea of providing, and

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. It made me super happy too to

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 2>do things for this person and.

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:21.640
<v Speaker 4>To exactly that feeling of being needed is always it's fulfilling.

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the best, it's the best. I mean, yeah, I

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 2>was thinking of today there was this I went to

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:33.879
<v Speaker 2>like pick up a like a shirt for for for

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>this lady late at night, and she was like, you're

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 2>my hero. And I was like, Oh, that's the best

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 2>feeling in the world, you know. Yeah, but I and

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 2>so there's actually you know, I I know, I know

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 2>from the guy's perspective as to why that feels so good,

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 2>then why that you know, even though I guess it

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't on paper sound like a good arrangement, but it

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 2>can feel really amazing to you know, feel needed, to

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like you're really taking care of somebody else and whatnot.

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:21.640
<v Speaker 2>But I also, again from that perspective, understand why that

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:27.200
<v Speaker 2>can be unsustainable over over a long period of time. Yes,

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that's a Yeah, people change and

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 2>feelings change in situations changed, and I can see why. Yeah,

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not I think it can be an element of

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a relationship, but if it's the basis of it, it can. Yeah,

0:24:54.560 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 2>it can lead to to to resentments and all these

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>other things. But it's enticing, and it's enticing on both sides.

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It's enticing for the for the woman who is you know,

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 2>getting that kind of treatment. It's enticing for the man

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 2>who uh is enthralled by his opportunity to provide that

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of treatments. You know, some people some people make it.

0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Some people fucking make it work. Some people really are

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 2>just like, everyone has different modest operendis I think I'm saying.

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Is am I saying that? Hold on, I'm gonna completely

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 2>interrupt discovercy? Is it modus operendi? Okay, all right, I

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 2>got it right. Some people have different em os and

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 2>for someone, their mo might be I want to fucking

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 2>like that's their thing, Like that's their addiction, like like

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>like it's actually kind of funny and and works, and

0:25:57.000 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 2>honestly is probably the basis of like inherent human biology.

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 2>That It's like there are a lot of there are

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of women out there who are like I

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 2>just want I want to be taken care of. I

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 2>want to be a princess, I want to be worship

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 2>That's like the thing that I want. And there are

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 2>guys out there, and then and then for every one

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of those women, there's a guy out there who's like,

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to just give all of my money to someone,

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 2>just have all of my money, have all of my

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>money and look at me sometimes and that would make

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>me so so happy. And I don't know, I don't

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 2>think any of I don't I place no moral value

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>judgment on either of those emos. But yeah, they coexist. Yeah,

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure there's fucking long term relationship will however,

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 2>long term ish relationships that operate that way. But they

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 2>have kinks, for sure, what you're saying, they have kinks.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, really sput on advice with being cautious. It can

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 4>be a little bit dangerous when it's you know, a

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 4>month in right and that's going on, especially like not

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 4>saying that Chelsea is or any by any means, but

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:39.399
<v Speaker 4>if somebody could be emotionally unstable and then having this dynamic,

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:44.440
<v Speaker 4>it could turn into something very toxic and really hurtful.

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Dan h Yeah, I see what you man, and I

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:55.400
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you going at this from a logical perspective, because, yeah,

0:27:55.480 --> 0:28:00.040
<v Speaker 2>the emotional roller coaster is kind of running high. But

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>for Chelsea as someone and I don't know if I

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>dove too deep into it with her, but as somebody

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>who you know, I get it if she's been so

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>anxious for so long to be like I mean, at

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty two to fucking just be like, why do I

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 2>just have to find something that kind of works? And

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>for like a month you have a thing where you're like,

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, am I I did. I didn't know

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it was physically possible to feel peaceful. It's a crazy

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>moment if you're and I get it, if you're a

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 2>person who's been like in a in a in an

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 2>anxious spiral for their entire life, thirty two years, this

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>so long time to find it's it's it's it's so

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 2>so exciting, this idea that you might be relieved of

0:28:55.240 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>this fucking burden. But it comes back. You know, it

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>comes back. It doesn't leave, It doesn't.

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Leave you.

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you come back down to ground. Imagine and you

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>might it might be a kind of a two steps forward,

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 2>one step back kind of a coming back. But you

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 2>got to be wary because I've experienced this multiple times

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 2>in my life where yeah, you enter a new relationship

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 2>or you think of you have just a new lease

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on something external to yourself or fucking internal to yourself,

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 2>gives you a new lease on life, and then you're like, oh,

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 2>this is great. Everything's gonna be amazing forever. I fucking

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 2>finally figured it out. Oh my god. They all told

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>me I couldn't, but I did it. I found a

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>man to worship me. I found a woman to worship.

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm so calm, I'm so happy. Everything's great, and it's

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like this forever. Let's get married, let's have

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>three kids, have all my money, joint bank accounts, vegas,

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>shotgun wedding. Everything is gonna be great because of course,

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And why would you not do that? Why would you

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>not if you've been going insane for thirty two years?

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.719
<v Speaker 2>This is nothing. I'm not not pointed at Chelsea by

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the way. This is actually just uh, I'm drawing this general.

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm drawing this general and from you know, my own life,

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know, just knowing whatever I know about the

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 2>human condition is of course not of course, yeah, of

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>course you get if you have finally you find something

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 2>that gives you some sort of relief, you're gonna be

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 2>drawn to it like it like it's like it's oxygen.

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 2>So of course, And I don't blame anyway if you're like,

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>if you get like the kid, the people who are like, yeah,

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I met my uh, I met this lady at a

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 2>bar and we got married in two weeks afterwards. That's

0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 2>not a weird story to me. There used to be

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a weird story to me, And now it makes perfect sense.

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I don't know if it makes perfect sense. Yeah,

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if it makes perfect sense in

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>terms of this is a logistically good decision, but it

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>makes perfect sense as to why people are driven to

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 2>do that. It's perfect sense. You know.

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it just you know, it could just take that

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 4>one spark to you know, change something different in that

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 4>person's life, which could lead to a better life for

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 4>that person individually as well.

0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I also I used to think it was

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 2>like stupid, but I sometimes it just you can you

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 2>can connect with the person if you really motherfucking connect

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>with a person, especially if you're like weird and you

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.400
<v Speaker 2>don't connect with a lot of people and you finally

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 2>find someone you do kind of connect with, it's like, yeah,

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I could get while you're like, well, fuck, let's go

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 2>all in. You know, when the fuck I've never felt

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>this way before, Let's keep going. But it also has

0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the potential to leave you high and dry. But you

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:16.560
<v Speaker 2>know what else has the potential to leave you high

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 2>and dry? I mean, remember the lady a few episodes

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 2>ago who got divorced. She did everything right. That was

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 2>her whole thing. She did everything right. She dated for

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.239
<v Speaker 2>like she lived. She got married the way that like

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 2>my fucking parents did, in a way where they date

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>for a while, like the normal shit. You date for

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 2>a while, and then do you decide maturely, on a mature,

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>regular adult timeline to have children and to get married

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 2>and to do all these things, and then she then

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you get left high and dry fucking doing it that way, right,

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>So no matter how you do it, no matter how

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 2>you do it, you risk being thrown in a dumpster.

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>So you know what I'm saying, Am I making any sense?

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 4>You absolutely are. I think you're speaking perfectly to be home,

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 4>because I mean it could it could happen anyway, and

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 4>whatever works for you works for you. But there is

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 4>always that risk. So whatever works for you, you just

0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 4>gotta go with what you feel.

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>There's all the times where like a fucking like some

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is one of the ways in which

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I think I've matured, is like I I've been going

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 2>back and like because I there's like there's like calls

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 2>from like there's a bunch of calls from like twenty

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty two that I recorded and never did anything with,

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going back and putting them on the Patreon

0:33:56.400 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like listening to some of them and I'm like,

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 2>in the like three years ago, if someone called me

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, I'm eighteen and I'm getting married to

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:11.680
<v Speaker 2>my other eighteen year old girlfriend, I'd be like, and

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I still think I'm a little bit right, but I'd

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 2>be like, this is so, this is really stupid and

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't do this. It's not gonna work. And I

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 2>would be very, i think, convinced about that. But the

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 2>older I get, the more I realized I don't know

0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 2>any everything's beyond me. And there's been plenty of I'm

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 2>sure relationships like that that crash and burn because of

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 2>the obvious reasons why they might crash and burn, but

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 2>then plenty that just keep going, you know. I Mean,

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 2>we had that guy on the podcast. He's thirty two,

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 2>been with the same lady since he was fucking sixteen,

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>So like, it's not a one size fits all solution. Well,

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna stop talking in generalities. What's your name.

0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 4>My name is Brandon.

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 2>How's your love life going? Brandon?

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, now I'm single, very cautiously.

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Single, cautiously single. You're thirty one, Yes, sir? What is

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 2>cautiously single? Man? What's the difference between single and cautiously single?

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, when I was younger, you know, I just go

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 4>out have a good time, didn't really care about what

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.399
<v Speaker 4>would have happen. You know, sometimes you meet a girl

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 4>and things just turn into situationship, relationship, whatever it may be.

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 4>But as you go on, you really have to start

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:40.040
<v Speaker 4>putting things in perspective and realizing, like you know, sometimes

0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:43.359
<v Speaker 4>one good night is a good night, but you got

0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 4>you gotta really focus on what what the goals are

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.399
<v Speaker 4>in your life and who can match those and what

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 4>what's suitable for you?

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true. What what did you get put through

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the ringer.

0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 4>A little bit? Yeah, it was just a lot of

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 4>ups and downs, moviescarriage, all different sorts of financial struggles,

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.359
<v Speaker 4>mental struggles. So now it's just kind of like you know, you,

0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:15.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm really focused on. Timing isn't really my issue. It's

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:20.840
<v Speaker 4>more of hitting hitting the target where I need to,

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:22.320
<v Speaker 4>If that makes any sense.

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I explain a little more hitting the target when you

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>need to.

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 4>Like my goals, who I want in my life that

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 4>can help me achieve those goals. Who has goals themselves

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 4>that I can help them achieve. Work as a as

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 4>a team, not necessarily individuals, but you know, individually a

0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 4>team if that makes any sense, where we can both

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 4>succeed and try and just build something together that's more

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:58.359
<v Speaker 4>than just the initial feeling of oh my gosh, this

0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 4>person is so great, I want to be with this person,

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 4>and more of like, all right, let's let's take things

0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 4>real slow and see, you know how how are we

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 4>going to be feeling about this and in a month,

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.440
<v Speaker 4>six months, a year, like, are we still on the

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 4>same page, same wavelength? Is everything working out? Things of

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 4>that nature.

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 2>M I still believe. I think I'm holding on hope

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 2>where I'm like, I'm gonna find someone and it's it's

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:27.359
<v Speaker 2>just gonna be easy, you know what I mean.

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, Oh yeah, that would be the goal.

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 4>But and that's why when you go through some really

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 4>hard hardships and tough relationships sometimes maybe I'm just a

0:37:41.120 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 4>little jaded, but sometimes I have to really slow down

0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:46.320
<v Speaker 4>and not just get caught up and wrapped up in

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 4>the emotion.

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I've met people in a personal life and on the

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 2>show and then whatever where they're like, uh, some people,

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 2>some people that is easy. I think some people that

0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.719
<v Speaker 2>is just easy. And then other people, Uh, yeah, they're

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a little they're a little more jaded about it. You

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.640
<v Speaker 2>know that a lot of that ship, I feel like

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 2>depends on the luck of the draw of your own

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 2>personal experiences and whatever hand you got adults, as as

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 2>who you are.

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Exactly.

0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:20.959
<v Speaker 2>But I appreciate this sentiment, this was I appreciate your counterpoints.

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it and it's it's nothing against Chelsea, like

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it is. Things work out for her,

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 4>and even if they don't, I mean, there's always time.

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:34.239
<v Speaker 4>There's what eight billion people on the Earth. There's there's

0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 4>plenty of time, people, So you just gotta find what's

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:38.920
<v Speaker 4>good for you.

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 2>You know. I don't like the whole there's eight billion

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:45.759
<v Speaker 2>people on Earth thing, because I mean some of them

0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>are children, so that that you know, hopefully that hopefully

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:53.360
<v Speaker 2>there that takes them out, hopefully they're not on the

0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:02.760
<v Speaker 2>So there's that. And then several billion of them only

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>speak Chinese, uh, which is fine, weill is fine if

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 2>you speak Chinese, but it probably difficult if you don't,

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 2>so uh. And then another few billion of them only

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 2>speak uh what, Spanish maybe and if you'll if you

0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 2>don't speak Spanish, that you're fucked on that. So this,

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's really a there's not eight brilliant

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a billion. And then and then also

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of those billion people are just way hotter

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 2>than you and don't they would never consider being with you,

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 2>so you gotta So I'm gonna say there's probably and

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 2>then not also a lot of the I'm not done.

0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 2>And then also a lot of them live in places

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 2>that you'll know some of them is some of those

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a billion people live in Macedonia. So I think the

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 2>saying should really be that it's also a lot of

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.799
<v Speaker 2>them are men or women, which I don't know if

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 2>you're gay or straight or whatever. But if you're not

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that white out four billion people, uh so you probably

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 2>at least I think the more realistic way of saying

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 2>that is there's probably at least just four or five

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:15.879
<v Speaker 2>other people who are willing to go on a date

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:20.080
<v Speaker 2>with you the next two years, maybe more than that

0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:25.239
<v Speaker 2>if you're you know, if you if you get ripped.

0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's there's definitely variables. I agree with you on that.

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but what's your name again, Brandon? Brandon? I appreciate you, Brandon.

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:40:37.800 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 2>people of the computer before we go, No, sir, just.

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:44.080
<v Speaker 4>I hope you all get the help that you need

0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:46.320
<v Speaker 4>from therapy get go, and I hope therapy Gecko is

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 4>doing good himself.

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying my best, man. I appreciate you asking. I'll

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 2>see you around the universe.

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:52.840
<v Speaker 4>All right. Bye?

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 2>That was Brandon. Eight billion people on the Earth. I

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:00.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know. This is probably more than that now, but again,

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:08.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like how many. I think there's websites that you

0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:11.759
<v Speaker 2>can go to where you can put in like what

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:15.439
<v Speaker 2>you're looking for in a partner, and it narrows it down.

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 2>It's way, it's so much less than eight billion, you know. Anyway,

0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, I'm saying all this stuff to,

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, make all you guys feel more optimistic. Do

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:37.879
<v Speaker 2>do Do Do Do Do Do Do. Hi wile yes, Hi?

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Who Who to whom am I speaking?

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Hi?

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 5>This is Angie, Angie.

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:44.440
<v Speaker 2>What's up, Angie? How's life going?

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:50.919
<v Speaker 5>Life is a fabulous I am currently in New York

0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:56.240
<v Speaker 5>City with a few co workers working at Music festival

0:41:56.320 --> 0:42:00.919
<v Speaker 5>this weekend and just kind of trying not to let

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:05.360
<v Speaker 5>my social anxiety get in the way of a great

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:08.719
<v Speaker 5>opportunity because I'm kind of like sitting at tables with

0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 5>directors and you know, like managers and supervisors, which is

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 5>the first time I've gotten to sit with them and

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 5>talk to them and get one on one time with them.

0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 5>So I'm really just trying to put myself out there.

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 5>But I flew in today. I left this morning at

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:34.280
<v Speaker 5>about six am, and now I'm here. I had some pizza,

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 5>it was really good. This is my first time in New.

0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:37.440
<v Speaker 3>York City as well.

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 5>And we were walking to this rooftop bar and it

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 5>shid ton of rats just came and ran across us

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 5>and scared the shit out of me.

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:48.160
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of rats.

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what the hill I was in.

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 5>I came from Phoenix, and obviously I don't just see

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:59.360
<v Speaker 5>rats scaring around anywhere, so it was pretty crazy. I

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:02.760
<v Speaker 5>definitely helped and clenched onto somebody next to me because

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 5>that was a whole new experience for me because it

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:05.960
<v Speaker 5>was not only one, it.

0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Was like seven of them.

0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So, what's this music festival happening this weekend?

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 5>So it's John Summit's music festival. It's called Experts Only.

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 5>It's going to be at Randall's Island. I have yet

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 5>to look at the site yet, and then to go

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:27.359
<v Speaker 5>there tomorrow morning and get everything set up and kind

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 5>of get my areas set up as well and view

0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:33.720
<v Speaker 5>the site and stuff. So that's pretty exciting. I worked

0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:37.439
<v Speaker 5>for I do festivals in Phoenix, Arizona, and they're doing

0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:39.879
<v Speaker 5>this event as well in New York. So they asked

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:43.759
<v Speaker 5>me to join, and my first time traveling with work

0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:47.920
<v Speaker 5>for this, so I was ecstatic. I was so like

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 5>super excited, super happy and trying to make my way

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.920
<v Speaker 5>in the industry and kind of dabbling in a different

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:57.960
<v Speaker 5>areas and things to figure out what exactly I want

0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 5>to do and network. But I'm just I know the

0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:07.360
<v Speaker 5>industry is a lot of networking and talking to people,

0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:11.359
<v Speaker 5>but that's not my forte. I really have to just

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.680
<v Speaker 5>like okay, just say something, like talk about something, bring

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 5>something up or instead of just like wasting you know,

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:22.919
<v Speaker 5>an opportunity that I have with the side op directors

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 5>and the directors of the festival and marketing directors, so

0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:29.759
<v Speaker 5>I can, you know, so they at least know who

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:34.920
<v Speaker 5>I am, but I just have I guess, social anxiety anyway.

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 5>So I think I was really just overthinking the strips

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 5>the entire time up until I was leading with it.

0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:45.680
<v Speaker 5>But now I'm here and I'm really just trying to,

0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:50.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, make conversation. And I kind of like go

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:52.240
<v Speaker 5>back to you when you do you like your email

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 5>getts and You're like, I'm just going to sit here

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:58.359
<v Speaker 5>and challenge myself and just continuously like talk and talk

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.840
<v Speaker 5>and talk for the next sixteen minutes or whatever you

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 5>do on your emails. So I've been doing my best

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 5>and just you know, trying to stay out of my

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:12.239
<v Speaker 5>head of trying to be like overthinking everything like oh

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:15.240
<v Speaker 5>did I say something stupid, did I not say something correctly?

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Or because I always overthink it and I come back

0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:23.160
<v Speaker 5>to it fucking at two o'clock in the morning, I'm like, God,

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.080
<v Speaker 5>damn it, I didn't say X Y and Z or

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.120
<v Speaker 5>I should have said X, Y and Z and it

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 5>didn't happen the way I thought it should happen. So

0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:34.480
<v Speaker 5>just kind of put myself out there, and you know,

0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:37.840
<v Speaker 5>I've been with the company for three years and I

0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 5>feel really honored and really blessed that my manager thought

0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:45.560
<v Speaker 5>about me and decided to send me here. And now

0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:48.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm here. So just we're at this rooftop pop bar,

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:52.759
<v Speaker 5>which is really cool. We walked through a semi sketchy neighborhood,

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.319
<v Speaker 5>but I think that's the part of it. And now

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 5>we're at this cool rooftop bar.

0:45:57.120 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 2>You're at the rooftop bar right now.

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 5>I came downstairs.

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I okay, okay, then I'll then, I'll, I will, I will,

0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I will make our conversation brief so that you may

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:13.160
<v Speaker 2>continue to to network. I'll say this, I'll say this.

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I Well, good on you, because a lot of people, uh,

0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 2>they're they just won't even fucking try to overcome their

0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 2>anxiety and doing things. But you're in a you're in

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:32.319
<v Speaker 2>a cool spot. I appreciate you because you're you know,

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:36.480
<v Speaker 2>going after it anyway. Uh and also, by the way,

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you know you're good. You're totally gonna say stupid things

0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:44.480
<v Speaker 2>that don't make sense. That's like an inherent thing. And

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I do this. I I lately. I'm I'm on a

0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:50.800
<v Speaker 2>big kick of you know what, if I said something

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:55.799
<v Speaker 2>that was stupid, maybe I did, Maybe I'm insane, you

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:58.319
<v Speaker 2>know what. That's how that's how I go into it. Now,

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:01.520
<v Speaker 2>that's what we do. You know, if I if I say,

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:06.719
<v Speaker 2>if I was weird, if I was, I don't know,

0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:10.359
<v Speaker 2>why do why do I have to be perfect? Maybe

0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little insane, and maybe that's fine if I'm not.

0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 2>If I'm not fucking perfect, you know, so uh, I mean,

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:23.840
<v Speaker 2>you try your best to throw yourself out there and

0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 2>communicate with other human beings, but it's never I have

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:29.080
<v Speaker 2>those interactions all the time where I'm like, that was

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:33.919
<v Speaker 2>a little weird. But you know, here's that. I'm gonna

0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 2>get existential for a second, and I know, but it

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:41.440
<v Speaker 2>applies to all of everything. You know, nobody, you don't

0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:47.280
<v Speaker 2>really colloquially you not you specifically, but colloquially you don't

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:51.040
<v Speaker 2>matter that much to people, which is good, right, it's good.

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:54.360
<v Speaker 2>So nobody even if the thing that you think people

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:56.000
<v Speaker 2>are like, oh that was a little weird, they're not.

0:47:56.040 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 2>They don't even care, you know, unless if you're being

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:00.759
<v Speaker 2>a dick. That's the only thing you can be like.

0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:03.759
<v Speaker 2>You can be kind of awkward, you can bet you can't.

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:06.879
<v Speaker 2>You can be a little annoying, you can be kind

0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:12.840
<v Speaker 2>of awkward, and as long as you're not like an asshole.

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:17.800
<v Speaker 2>No one really cares. That's why I hate television and movies.

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I know that's such a broad thing to hate, and

0:48:20.920 --> 0:48:22.960
<v Speaker 2>this is a stupid thing to say, but I hate

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:25.319
<v Speaker 2>we you know what it is. We've watched I'm gonna

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 2>this is such an old man ran. We've watched so

0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:30.840
<v Speaker 2>many movies and TV shows where every thing that everyone

0:48:30.960 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 2>says makes sense. That's where I like doing this podcast

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:39.160
<v Speaker 2>is sometimes it's awkward. Sometimes we talk over each other

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 2>or someone calls and it's a little awkward or I'm

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 2>a little awkward. I'm saying things that don't make sense,

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's that's good. I think there should be more. Uh,

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:51.840
<v Speaker 2>we've we've we've modeled our ideas of what a conversation

0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 2>should be like over like this kind of perfected version

0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of it instead of just accepting that we live in

0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:05.919
<v Speaker 2>a stupid, weird world. So, you know, all this to say,

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you're you're You're fine, You're uh, you're going after it.

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, you you don't have you don't have to

0:49:12.719 --> 0:49:16.200
<v Speaker 2>be you don't have to make a hundred percent success

0:49:16.520 --> 0:49:18.479
<v Speaker 2>not success sense. You don't have to make one hundred

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:22.719
<v Speaker 2>percent sense as long as you're just existing positively, you know,

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:24.840
<v Speaker 2>because that's what most people I think care about is

0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're uh, You're you're easy. You know, you're

0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:33.680
<v Speaker 2>easy to be around. You're excited, excited to be alive.

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:38.319
<v Speaker 2>You're not a dick or a bummer. So whatever you

0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 2>say something it doesn't make sense, or a joke that

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 2>is stupid, you know who cares it gives a shit?

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 5>So uh yeah, And I'm just trying to put myself,

0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, there for so just so that you know,

0:49:51.120 --> 0:49:53.840
<v Speaker 5>the company knows that I value, you know, being a

0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:57.000
<v Speaker 5>part in the music industry and it's something I'm passionate

0:49:57.080 --> 0:50:00.799
<v Speaker 5>about and it's something i really want to branch out too.

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:05.839
<v Speaker 5>So I'm just like trying to just make conversation and like,

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:10.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, ask about how they got there or like

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:13.880
<v Speaker 5>internships or just talking about the day or like shooting

0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 5>shooting the ship, so that you know that I'm there

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:19.120
<v Speaker 5>as not only a colleague and you know, but as

0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:23.319
<v Speaker 5>a friend as well. And so I'm trying. I'm You're right,

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 5>I just have to, you know, just go in it positively.

0:50:25.920 --> 0:50:27.719
<v Speaker 5>And and I think that's what I've been doing. And

0:50:27.800 --> 0:50:30.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm like I've shown that that I'm super excited to

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:34.280
<v Speaker 5>be here. And I'm really enthusiastic about being here too, because.

0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what the fuck they sent.

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:38.680
<v Speaker 5>Me to New York, you know, like that's crazy. I've

0:50:38.719 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 5>never been here and this is my first time like

0:50:41.040 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 5>flying out.

0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:42.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you.

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Have?

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:46.120
<v Speaker 2>You spent much time outside of Phoenix.

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've gone to like Mexico, I've gone to like

0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:54.839
<v Speaker 5>different states and stuff. I think the biggest city I've

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.879
<v Speaker 5>been to is Chicago. But I mean, I've never been

0:50:57.920 --> 0:51:01.520
<v Speaker 5>to New York. So it's also a cool experience for me.

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 5>And in my downtime, I'm hoping it can check out

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Central Park, so I'm gonna see my first subway experience,

0:51:09.760 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 5>which is gonna be cool. I had some pizza walking

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:16.960
<v Speaker 5>down the street, saw some rats. Now I'm at a

0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:21.080
<v Speaker 5>rooftop bar with my amazing, beautiful, lovely coworkers that I

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.960
<v Speaker 5>get to hang out for what's for the week. It

0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:25.000
<v Speaker 5>is really nice and I.

0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Really just sorry, go ahead, go ahead, And I'm.

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Really just trying to remember that and and you know,

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.960
<v Speaker 5>be blessed for where I'm at and not let my

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:41.960
<v Speaker 5>stupid fucking social anxiety or you know, my weird awkwardness

0:51:41.960 --> 0:51:43.960
<v Speaker 5>that I think I have doesn't get in a way

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:46.480
<v Speaker 5>because like you said, it's not that deep, you know,

0:51:46.640 --> 0:51:49.399
<v Speaker 5>like no, so people aren't gonna perceive it that way.

0:51:49.440 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 5>It's just myself that's perceiving it that way. And I

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:58.960
<v Speaker 5>think that's what I'm I'm just working at so I.

0:51:57.000 --> 0:52:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Do, you know, I it's yeah, the more uh yeah,

0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's funny. Things are really about perspective, right

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:09.120
<v Speaker 2>because uh yeah, New York is now just like uh,

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:13.279
<v Speaker 2>like riding the subway. I do it every day, you know,

0:52:13.800 --> 0:52:17.200
<v Speaker 2>but I forgot it's like a thing, you know, or

0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:19.719
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of weird shit that you do. You

0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:22.040
<v Speaker 2>forget is like a thing you know.

0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Right because you do it so often.

0:52:25.719 --> 0:52:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Angie. I don't want to keep you waiting

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:29.400
<v Speaker 2>from your friends. I think you should go up and

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:31.840
<v Speaker 2>enjoy that that rooftop bar. But I'm glad that you

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:35.279
<v Speaker 2>called and uh checked in. I'm glad. I you know.

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Just remember you can be say whatever you want, no

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:42.600
<v Speaker 2>no one cares. I mean, I maybe that might be

0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:46.840
<v Speaker 2>terrible advice, but I I feel it in my heart.

0:52:47.160 --> 0:52:50.839
<v Speaker 5>Is there anything to just say things? Just just talk?

0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:51.520
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:53.759
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I have important things to say. Some

0:52:53.920 --> 0:52:55.719
<v Speaker 5>might not be important for it. But you know, I

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:56.920
<v Speaker 5>always I'm conversating.

0:52:57.520 --> 0:52:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.719
<v Speaker 2>people of the computer but before we go, No, that

0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:02.200
<v Speaker 2>is it.

0:55:58.760 --> 0:56:04.040
<v Speaker 2>No, no, we have not, sweet kick ass. What's your name?

0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:04.239
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:56:06.320 --> 0:56:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh well, my name isn't Kevin, but let's we'll go

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:10.960
<v Speaker 1>with Kevin.

0:56:11.840 --> 0:56:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Kevin. You sent me a text. You said I

0:56:15.880 --> 0:56:20.560
<v Speaker 2>have little faith in your advice on making friends and

0:56:20.600 --> 0:56:26.160
<v Speaker 2>finding community, even though you're probably right. So I want

0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to do so. I want to take this message you

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:30.920
<v Speaker 2>sent me, and I want to do a few things.

0:56:30.920 --> 0:56:34.240
<v Speaker 2>One is I want to get an idea of because

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I say a lot of things and then I forget

0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:42.160
<v Speaker 2>what they are because I'm because I have dementia. And

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:48.200
<v Speaker 2>so first what First tell me what your understanding of

0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 2>my advice on how to make friends is, and then

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 2>tell me why you have a little faith in it?

0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 2>And okay, I'm not saying And I want and I

0:56:56.160 --> 0:56:58.359
<v Speaker 2>want you to be fucking honest with me. I don't

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:01.880
<v Speaker 2>want this is I if you think I want you

0:57:01.920 --> 0:57:04.640
<v Speaker 2>to notice for if you think you'll offend me, I

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:09.239
<v Speaker 2>mean this with my soul. Is if you think you'll

0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 2>offend me by disagreeing with me, you'll offend me so

0:57:13.680 --> 0:57:18.280
<v Speaker 2>much more by lying to me about your true feelings

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:20.680
<v Speaker 2>about what I saw, so.

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So I would never I would never lie to you.

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean I believe I'm you know what I'm choosing.

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm trusting you that you want. I'm trusting you that

0:57:28.720 --> 0:57:30.880
<v Speaker 2>you want. So tell me why you have a little

0:57:30.960 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 2>faith in this.

0:57:33.760 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, it might be hard for me to describe. It's

0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:40.800
<v Speaker 1>more just a gut feeling, but I guess I'll start with, uh,

0:57:41.640 --> 0:57:45.000
<v Speaker 1>what my impression of your advice on the topic is,

0:57:45.040 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 1>which is you know, it seems like I've heard you

0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:53.320
<v Speaker 1>express this multiple times to different people, but you usually

0:57:53.800 --> 0:57:59.000
<v Speaker 1>say something along the lines of like just going out

0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:03.000
<v Speaker 1>there and you know, finding a group that is centered

0:58:03.000 --> 0:58:07.120
<v Speaker 1>around like a hobby or interest you have and inserting

0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:10.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself in it and continuously going to it, even if

0:58:10.560 --> 0:58:14.320
<v Speaker 1>it's awkward and weird the first few times. And if

0:58:14.360 --> 0:58:20.680
<v Speaker 1>there isn't a group like that, then creating it yourself.

0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, that sounds like it would probably work.

0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I've been trying that myself. Granted it

0:58:32.960 --> 0:58:40.280
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been very long, but I just it just really

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:43.640
<v Speaker 1>feels like it's not going to go anywhere. And I

0:58:43.720 --> 0:58:50.680
<v Speaker 1>just started university and I really don't have any friends

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:55.760
<v Speaker 1>or I do, but not where I'm living. And I

0:58:55.840 --> 0:59:00.000
<v Speaker 1>feel very lonely, very frequently. And you know, I've tried

0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:03.200
<v Speaker 1>going to multiple clubs because you know, university is a

0:59:03.240 --> 0:59:08.520
<v Speaker 1>great place to join these types of groups you're talking about,

0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:14.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's I don't know, it's so hard to talk

0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to people even when you're at these clubs, and I

0:59:18.800 --> 0:59:22.920
<v Speaker 1>always just go home from them, walking by myself as

0:59:22.960 --> 0:59:28.800
<v Speaker 1>always and just feeling like I didn't make any real connections.

0:59:29.280 --> 0:59:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, how old are you? Nineteen? I'm eighteen, you're eighteen? Okay,

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:39.600
<v Speaker 2>all right. I have a lot of questions. Did you

0:59:39.640 --> 0:59:41.000
<v Speaker 2>have friends when you were in high school?

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:43.280
<v Speaker 4>I did.

0:59:43.320 --> 0:59:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I have very good friends. I'm still friends with them.

0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh great, buddy, Sorry, I have more questions. I have

0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:56.240
<v Speaker 2>more questions for you before I I have more questions

0:59:56.240 --> 1:00:00.600
<v Speaker 2>for you. But brother, it's September as a recording this,

1:00:00.680 --> 1:00:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that is September eighteenth, I know, which means which means

1:00:05.320 --> 1:00:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that you have been at school for less than a month.

1:00:10.800 --> 1:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Correct, Yes, no, I know.

1:00:15.080 --> 1:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, let me tell you. I have more questions

1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 2>for you. But let me tell you something I went

1:00:21.160 --> 1:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to almost hold of I what year is it? Where

1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>do I live. September of twenty sixteen, I started going

1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to college at Temple University in Philadelphia. I've probably talked

1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>about this a lot before, but I'll do it again.

1:00:46.000 --> 1:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>And God, I hated. I hated those first UH. Hated

1:00:54.840 --> 1:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>that first year. I had struggled a lot that first year,

1:01:00.080 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>feeling weird, fucking I didn't connect with any of these

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>fucking people that I was trying to connect with. I

1:01:08.520 --> 1:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>tried to join a I tried to join a frat.

1:01:11.320 --> 1:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I remember being at a frat party once and like

1:01:13.560 --> 1:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to get a bartender's attention and just like standing

1:01:16.960 --> 1:01:20.960
<v Speaker 2>there with a cup at this frat party, being like

1:01:21.280 --> 1:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this is what, just feeling horrible, just feeling like I

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter, and I was a I'm in this thing

1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>that nobody gives it shit that I'm there, and I'm

1:01:33.320 --> 1:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>just I just don't I have no identity. And I

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>walked home from I walked home that night alone, very sad.

1:01:42.960 --> 1:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>And then I tried to meet people in my dorm

1:01:45.120 --> 1:01:47.919
<v Speaker 2>and I felt like I didn't give a fuck about

1:01:47.920 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>any of those people, or or that those people kind

1:01:50.280 --> 1:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>of had their groups figured out and I didn't. Uh.

1:01:57.840 --> 1:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I started playing super smash brothers. May and

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I made a few friends there, but it what, it

1:02:03.360 --> 1:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't really pan out, and I hate it. I just

1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>wanted to drop out of college and like go like

1:02:10.400 --> 1:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>be a filmmaker or some ship. I just didn't have

1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>any semblance of self I felt. I felt, I felt

1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>sincerely unaligned. Yeah, and then I started doing Uh. And

1:02:29.040 --> 1:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I had been doing stand up comedy when I was

1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>in high school and I and I stopped doing it

1:02:35.480 --> 1:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>as much. Then I started doing it again. Then I

1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>started hosting this comedy club in my basement. And then

1:02:41.000 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>once I started doing that, Uh, sophomore year, second half

1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>of sophomore year. Yeah, sophomore year. So it was about

1:02:50.480 --> 1:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>a year. It took about a year, I mean, and

1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that that changed everything. Uh, And then I started I

1:02:58.760 --> 1:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>really really feel like I found a place where I belonged.

1:03:02.320 --> 1:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>So I have more questions for you, but I just

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get throw that out there. That was my

1:03:06.360 --> 1:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>college experience. It sucked. I hate it. I was miserable. Yeah,

1:03:11.880 --> 1:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and I, Uh, it takes a while, it's it's not

1:03:17.520 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>it takes a long time. So where have you been going?

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>What have you been doing?

1:03:23.520 --> 1:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I so I played guitar, I found the music club

1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that hosts weekly jam sessions, so I've been to that.

1:03:35.160 --> 1:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>There's like not thirty I don't know. There was like

1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>ten other people playing guitar that showed up, so we're

1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>all like playing over each other and it just doesn't

1:03:46.960 --> 1:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>sound good at all, which isn't really why I went,

1:03:49.880 --> 1:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>so I guess kind of irrelevant. But you know, obviously

1:03:52.800 --> 1:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to a few people, and you know, it

1:03:57.680 --> 1:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>was cordial and stuff. But you know, I don't know,

1:04:01.920 --> 1:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>How many, how many? How many times do you go?

1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>How many times did you go to this guitar jam session?

1:04:07.360 --> 1:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>If you say, if you say that was the only

1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>time you went, well, was that the only time? Was

1:04:15.160 --> 1:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that the only time you went?

1:04:16.480 --> 1:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been once. Yeah, I'm sorry, I've been.

1:04:19.080 --> 1:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, No, you don't have to you know it. No,

1:04:21.000 --> 1:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not no, it's not embarrassing. It's not embarrassing. It's

1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:26.920
<v Speaker 2>just it's uh, or maybe it's a little embarrassing, but

1:04:26.920 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>it's who gives a ship. Okay, go on, keep going.

1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear more about your Okay.

1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I intend to keep going to that. The other

1:04:35.320 --> 1:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>thing I've been to is a club, I guess about telescopes.

1:04:42.440 --> 1:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like astrophotography and visual astronomy club. So I went

1:04:46.520 --> 1:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to one of those. There's just basically a guy with

1:04:49.640 --> 1:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>one big telescope and a bunch of people standing around

1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and him just kind of talking about Saturn, and you know,

1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone took a turn looking, and uh yeah, I just

1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't speak to many people at that. Either I

1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>just find it so hard to start conversations or I

1:05:13.200 --> 1:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but.

1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>How often does the telescope man bring his telescope?

1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I don't know. Maybe once a week, Okay, okay, okay,

1:05:37.560 --> 1:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>what else? Well, those are the only clubs I've been

1:05:44.960 --> 1:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to Other than that. I mean, I've interacted with my

1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>roommate obviously, I've interacted with a couple of people on

1:05:53.240 --> 1:05:55.959
<v Speaker 1>my floor. You know, I've spent time with them. I've

1:05:56.440 --> 1:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>gone out with them on the weekend. But again, I mean,

1:06:02.480 --> 1:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't have like zero faith that I'm gonna,

1:06:07.800 --> 1:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, always I don't. I don't think I'm always

1:06:09.600 --> 1:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be like alone and I'm never gonna make friends.

1:06:11.720 --> 1:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, it took a year for yourself. But

1:06:15.000 --> 1:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>part of the reason I feel like I'm going to

1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>really struggle with this for a long time. Is because

1:06:21.600 --> 1:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>although I had really good friends in high school and

1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>still have them as my friends, I didn't really make them.

1:06:30.120 --> 1:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>They kind of made me. I sort of was adopted,

1:06:33.360 --> 1:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I joined. I started high school with zero friends because

1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know how to make friends, and a

1:06:43.920 --> 1:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>kid who remembered me from elementary school sort of almost

1:06:47.800 --> 1:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>made it his job to make himself and his friends

1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>my friend.

1:06:54.080 --> 1:06:54.480
<v Speaker 3>And.

1:06:56.560 --> 1:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, and then we did become very good friends.

1:06:59.160 --> 1:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>But that wasn't really my doing. I was just kind

1:07:02.160 --> 1:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>of lucky enough for that to happen to me. Yeah,

1:07:05.240 --> 1:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>but but but you.

1:07:08.840 --> 1:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Know, you know, yes, oh my god, what's your name again? Kevin? Kevin? Yes, Kevin,

1:07:18.800 --> 1:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>you got very you know what I'm This is fun.

1:07:21.600 --> 1:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I like having this conversation. Yes, yes, you got lucky.

1:07:28.520 --> 1:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>You did. That's what happens. That's kind That's the only

1:07:31.800 --> 1:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>way you successfully do anything. That's the only way that you,

1:07:38.840 --> 1:07:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I think, find a relationship or start something or have

1:07:44.360 --> 1:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>like a thing that you start, pop off or make

1:07:50.600 --> 1:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>friends is you get lucky. But one of the best

1:07:59.120 --> 1:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>ways to get lucky, and I do believe in and

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to be a bullshitter here because I

1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>do believe in inherent, blind, true, honest to god luck.

1:08:10.960 --> 1:08:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I do believe in that. But also the more that

1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:23.840
<v Speaker 2>you luck finds you, the more you put yourself in

1:08:23.960 --> 1:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>situations for it to find you. Yeah, and it's a

1:08:30.040 --> 1:08:38.639
<v Speaker 2>mother fucking grind. It's hard. You're also dealing with the

1:08:38.680 --> 1:08:46.880
<v Speaker 2>throes of loneliness and they're actively eating your brain, in

1:08:47.400 --> 1:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>soul and your self esteem. And I know, guys, I

1:08:52.040 --> 1:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>know what this feels like. So they're corroding you from

1:08:58.840 --> 1:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>with you know, I don't know if that I don't

1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>know if that's how you feel, but you know, yeah

1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel yeah, yeah, yeah, you feel corroded. But you

1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:17.519
<v Speaker 2>have to keep trying and you have to believe because

1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you only went once to these fucking things. I mean,

1:09:23.439 --> 1:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm part of I'll tell you more. I'm you know,

1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the thing I told you about with the thing in

1:09:36.600 --> 1:09:40.599
<v Speaker 2>my college is just one exact I have so many

1:09:40.640 --> 1:09:43.040
<v Speaker 2>examples of that from my life now that I'm even

1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:46.719
<v Speaker 2>thinking about it. I remember when I was sixteen, I

1:09:46.920 --> 1:09:51.479
<v Speaker 2>started doing stand up and I went to like I

1:09:51.479 --> 1:09:53.439
<v Speaker 2>would go to these bars and I would just I

1:09:53.479 --> 1:09:57.519
<v Speaker 2>felt so uncomfortable. I wouldn't talk to anyone because I

1:09:57.560 --> 1:10:00.400
<v Speaker 2>was like sixteen, these guys were like twenty one. Ever,

1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and I just kept going. I just kept going. Eventually

1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>you see the same people, and you know, I would

1:10:13.320 --> 1:10:16.400
<v Speaker 2>just I I have a nice community now at this

1:10:16.800 --> 1:10:21.519
<v Speaker 2>co working space that I edit my videos at. It's nice.

1:10:21.520 --> 1:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And I I remember showing up. They were having this

1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>thing that they do where everyone like presents the stuff

1:10:35.040 --> 1:10:37.400
<v Speaker 2>that they're working on. I remember the first time I

1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:39.920
<v Speaker 2>showed up to that and I and I showed up

1:10:45.280 --> 1:10:51.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of observing this culture that already existed without me,

1:10:52.120 --> 1:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, and and and I'm just witnessing it and

1:10:55.960 --> 1:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing it, and I'm and I this is the

1:10:58.200 --> 1:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>first time, and I've I was like, fuck, man, I

1:11:01.320 --> 1:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>want to kill myself, like a fuck that. Like I

1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>just felt bad. I know, you know, I felt bad,

1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>But I kept going and I kept talking to people.

1:11:10.120 --> 1:11:12.680
<v Speaker 2>And now I show up there, I feel so comfortable.

1:11:12.720 --> 1:11:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I feel great. I know people there. I feel great

1:11:15.760 --> 1:11:23.040
<v Speaker 2>being there because I didn't because I let myself just

1:11:23.240 --> 1:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>keep going. And I even said this as part of

1:11:30.600 --> 1:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>my speel on it is that you is that it's

1:11:35.560 --> 1:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>part of the process to be sitting there while there's

1:11:41.240 --> 1:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>an while while you're observing this pre existing culture that

1:11:47.320 --> 1:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need you and doesn't care about you, and because

1:11:52.360 --> 1:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>you just because you just showed up, and that's that's

1:11:56.360 --> 1:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>that's supposed to feel bad. It's supposed to feel bad

1:12:03.560 --> 1:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and corrosive. So when so when you show up to

1:12:07.360 --> 1:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>guitar place for the first time, where you go to

1:12:10.080 --> 1:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>chess club and everyone has their jokes, everyone has their things,

1:12:14.880 --> 1:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and they the first day, it's supposed to feel But

1:12:19.160 --> 1:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>if you do that and it feels bad, that's such normal,

1:12:23.080 --> 1:12:25.880
<v Speaker 2>you know the way. I don't know where people are

1:12:25.920 --> 1:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>getting this idea that you're supposed to Uh, everything's supposed

1:12:30.000 --> 1:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to be amazing off the bat. Sometimes you fucking get

1:12:32.920 --> 1:12:36.559
<v Speaker 2>lucky and everything's amazing off the bat. You know. I'm

1:12:36.560 --> 1:12:38.640
<v Speaker 2>doing this video right now about the gathering of the

1:12:38.720 --> 1:12:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Juggalos and uh, that's a place. That's a place where

1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people show up and they're welcomed off

1:12:45.800 --> 1:12:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the bat and they just feel Sometimes that happens if

1:12:49.280 --> 1:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you're lucky. Sometimes that happens. If you're lucky. You show

1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:56.360
<v Speaker 2>up and you assimilate into the culture immediately and the

1:12:56.520 --> 1:13:00.799
<v Speaker 2>arms are wide open. Uh. And some times that happens,

1:13:00.920 --> 1:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, you know what, you know how

1:13:03.400 --> 1:13:06.920
<v Speaker 2>you get lucky into that happening is showing up to

1:13:07.000 --> 1:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of different places. But even but if you

1:13:08.920 --> 1:13:11.520
<v Speaker 2>don't find a place where the arms are open immediately,

1:13:12.000 --> 1:13:16.799
<v Speaker 2>you still have to keep showing up like like five times,

1:13:16.960 --> 1:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>and not only show up five times, but also like

1:13:19.360 --> 1:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey, everyone, like what guitar was a guitar club?

1:13:23.560 --> 1:13:24.320
<v Speaker 2>What was the other one?

1:13:25.880 --> 1:13:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

1:13:27.240 --> 1:13:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Telescope telescope. You gotta also organize organize the things because

1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:38.759
<v Speaker 2>you're you're also not the only person that uh feels

1:13:38.760 --> 1:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>this way, So organize the thing because you have to

1:13:41.160 --> 1:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>find it. You have to provide value to the community

1:13:43.640 --> 1:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>in some way, right, Like fucking if everyone like what

1:13:48.800 --> 1:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>uh crap, Okay, now I have telescope one and I

1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.880
<v Speaker 2>forget the other one. I don't know why my brain

1:13:54.520 --> 1:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah hold on, so wait, this is I'm embarrassed, right,

1:13:57.479 --> 1:13:59.680
<v Speaker 2>let me can we pause for one second? Hold on?

1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Telescope club and guitar club. Telescope Club and guitar club

1:14:06.600 --> 1:14:11.439
<v Speaker 2>go to go to a fucking local bar and be like, Hey,

1:14:11.439 --> 1:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna book, We're gonna put on a show for

1:14:14.479 --> 1:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the guitar club, whatever, anything you can do to to

1:14:18.400 --> 1:14:24.280
<v Speaker 2>to contribute to be a part of the culture. You

1:14:24.439 --> 1:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>can't show up. You can't show up and expect to

1:14:28.600 --> 1:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>become part of part of the culture immediately. And you

1:14:33.360 --> 1:14:35.280
<v Speaker 2>can't show up and expect to be part of the

1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>culture without contributing to it in some way, shape or form.

1:14:40.200 --> 1:14:43.320
<v Speaker 2>But I swear on my life if you if you

1:14:43.360 --> 1:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>show up consistently and you creatively contribute to the culture,

1:14:49.960 --> 1:14:54.760
<v Speaker 2>you're You're there. You're fucking there. And it's the the

1:14:54.800 --> 1:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>people that get fucked are the ones that that that

1:14:57.800 --> 1:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>don't allow themselves to go past the the initial discomforts

1:15:08.479 --> 1:15:12.519
<v Speaker 2>that you feel when you're in a place that you

1:15:12.720 --> 1:15:17.080
<v Speaker 2>are just no, doesn't give a shit about you. But

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>but you got but but yeah, but there's some so

1:15:20.560 --> 1:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>much lies beyond that, and you're you feel corroded because

1:15:29.360 --> 1:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you had high expectations and you wanted everything fucking immediately,

1:15:34.960 --> 1:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>because that was, for for whatever reason, the way that

1:15:37.960 --> 1:15:40.360
<v Speaker 2>you felt things were supposed to go, and that didn't

1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't go that way. But that's but it's not supposed

1:15:44.000 --> 1:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>to it's not supposed to go that way. You're supposed

1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>to feel everything that you're feeling is normal feeling that

1:15:50.880 --> 1:15:54.200
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to feel. But you just keep going. But

1:15:54.320 --> 1:15:57.560
<v Speaker 2>just keep so keep going. You know, it's been a

1:15:57.600 --> 1:16:03.920
<v Speaker 2>mon month. Man, it's been a month. You're eighteen, don't get.

1:16:03.720 --> 1:16:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Don't don't yell at me.

1:16:04.760 --> 1:16:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, no, But you know, it's funny because the friends

1:16:10.720 --> 1:16:13.599
<v Speaker 1>that I made in high school, actually when I first

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>started hanging out with them, you know, they were already

1:16:16.840 --> 1:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>friends with each other and I wasn't friends with them.

1:16:18.840 --> 1:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And actually it was the similar thing where the first

1:16:23.280 --> 1:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>few times I hung out with them, it was weird

1:16:26.360 --> 1:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for me, and it did take a while, but yeah,

1:16:31.200 --> 1:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>now they're, you know, my best friends. So I do

1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>think you're right. Uh, yeah, I understand I'm very young

1:16:43.840 --> 1:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and insecure and all that, but yeah, I don't know.

1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>There was a caller who, if you remember, I don't know, recently,

1:16:55.120 --> 1:16:59.639
<v Speaker 1>who talked about also feeling alone on the university campus

1:16:59.720 --> 1:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and he would talk about, uh, always seeing other people

1:17:06.120 --> 1:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in groups and him always being by himself, and I

1:17:08.840 --> 1:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>related to that. And then I've noticed, and I think

1:17:12.120 --> 1:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he did as well, that if you look around, there

1:17:15.479 --> 1:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>really are a lot of other people walking around by

1:17:18.160 --> 1:17:23.599
<v Speaker 1>themselves as well. But surprisingly. I thought that realization would

1:17:24.520 --> 1:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>bring me solace. But you know, the fact that other

1:17:28.040 --> 1:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>people are suffering doesn't really make me feel better about

1:17:31.400 --> 1:17:32.040
<v Speaker 1>my stuffering.

1:17:32.600 --> 1:17:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I don't I don't. I don't like that.

1:17:34.880 --> 1:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I well, I don't like that. For uh, I don't

1:17:40.400 --> 1:17:42.439
<v Speaker 2>like looking at Here's what I don't like. I don't

1:17:42.520 --> 1:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>like looking at oh, everyone's probably having fun or and

1:17:49.479 --> 1:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I also don't like looking at not everyone's having fun

1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:58.160
<v Speaker 2>because both it it's detracting still from yourself, you know

1:17:58.160 --> 1:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? This is about you. It's not about

1:18:00.040 --> 1:18:04.840
<v Speaker 2>anyone else. So so who cares who's having fun and

1:18:05.680 --> 1:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>who's not. It's not it's not even a relevant thing

1:18:09.320 --> 1:18:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to your uh plan of action? You know. Yeah, so

1:18:15.520 --> 1:18:17.479
<v Speaker 2>I just put your put your put your blinders on,

1:18:18.680 --> 1:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah, be a little entrepreneurial about it. Bring up,

1:18:22.680 --> 1:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>bring up fucking pie two uh to the crab and

1:18:31.920 --> 1:18:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I forgot both of them. Guitar class.

1:18:36.560 --> 1:18:38.639
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, well I do bake.

<v Speaker 2>So ship? Why am I why don't I know anything anymore?

1:18:58.479 --> 1:19:01.840

<v Speaker 2>that I've spoken too much. But this is not officially

1:25:19.800 --> 1:25:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the quality of this podcast. Please officially consider this not

1:25:25.720 --> 1:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>part of the listening experience, because I'm just gonna spend

<v Speaker 2>he rambled about Fresco, I'm you didn't, then that's just

1:26:14.640 --> 1:26:20.200

1:26:33.320 --> 1:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm googling this is aspertain, Actually that bad for you aspartame.

1:26:40.840 --> 1:26:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Aspertame is a low calorie artificial sweetener which is two

1:26:46.280 --> 1:26:56.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred times sweeter than sugar. What the fuck? Okay. Scientific

1:26:56.400 --> 1:26:59.840
<v Speaker 2>evidence has continued to support the FDA's conclusion that aspertam

1:26:59.920 --> 1:27:04.360
<v Speaker 2>is safe for the general population when made under good

1:27:04.439 --> 1:27:11.800
<v Speaker 2>manufacturing practices and used under the improved conditions of use.

1:27:14.640 --> 1:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Studies suggest a link between long term aspartame consumption and

1:27:19.040 --> 1:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>increased abdominal fat. That's so fucking that's fucking such bullshit.

1:27:30.360 --> 1:27:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Why can't anything be easy? And aspertame potassium sorbates acassia gum.

1:27:41.920 --> 1:27:45.200

<v Speaker 2>drop off around this part, I'll actually be upset that

<v Speaker 2>people are still listening to this. There should be there objectively,

1:29:21.880 --> 1:29:30.439
<v Speaker 2>should be a strong audience drop off analytically about five

1:29:30.520 --> 1:29:34.360
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago. It should be like a ninety percent drop

1:29:34.400 --> 1:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>off I could. I'm gonna look at the analytics and

1:29:37.680 --> 1:29:39.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's not, and if people are listening to this,

1:29:39.439 --> 1:29:45.360
