1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: You ever feel like life's a bowl of soup and

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: you're just a fork.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: That is a perfect analogy.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 3: Can't don't feel bad though, because we're all forks.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh, instead of forking that soup, let's fork each other

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: with a brain new addition of what's.

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: On your mind?

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Wait?

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: Can I do that?

Speaker 2: I did.

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,640

56
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 6: Well, I got on my elevator the other day and

57
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 6: I was riding with one of my neighbors. And this

58
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 6: is one of my neighbors who I've met a few

59
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: times before, who is more of a special needs I

60
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,640

61
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: Few friends in the building. I've made friends with all

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: my neighbors, and I talk a lot.

63
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: You think.

64
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: My second elevator ride feel like a half an hour.

65
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: But when I got off the elevator, it made me realize.

66
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 6: I was like, Oh, he's probably the third or fourth

67
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 6: person I've interacted with in a week who has special needs, like.

68
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: In my building. And I'm like, that's awesome because I've

69
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: always loved how big my building is. That's that's awesome.

70
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: But then I was like, wait a minute, is this

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: building like meant for people? Is that like supposed are

72
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: you supposed to have an issue? Is there this very

73
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: specific housing? Why am I here? It's like I'm trying

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: to get out the real reason.

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Can I ask what kind of paperwork you filled out?

76
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 6: It was normal paperwork.

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: Everything has been fine.

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: You didn't have any doctors.

79
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: And then I'm like, they're so nice to me, but

80
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: I think they're nice to everybody.

81
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: You do. You do comment all the time about how

82
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: like the people in the lobby are like extra accommodating

83
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: to walk in.

84
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: I love my building. Everyone's super kind. So I think

85
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: I think I need to do some more investigators.

86
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: I think this is like the less you know, the better,

87
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Like ignorance is sorry for the bad end of the day.

88
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna move out. You found your people. Yeah,

89
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: so I guess answer is a bad answer anyway. I

90
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: love my building. They love me too. I'm proud of you.

91
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: Your mind.

92
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: I just visited my best friend in Germany. Yes, and

93
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: I didn't do a lot of sight seeing.

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: I'm more focused on going out.

95
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: While I was there were your best clubs, yeah and there.

96
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: First I was going to buy around for everyone I'm with,

98
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: you know, to be nice. Yeah, and I get six

99
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: shots and two beers thirty euros. You guys, you're so cheap.

100
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really Oh is that cheap? Cheap?

101
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: Shocks? When I started buying a round all night?

102
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: Yes?

103
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: Euros is monopoly money. It doesn't even count.

104
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: Does it not hurt your girl?

105
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: Mad?

106
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: The other thing, though, is so then I start, you know,

107
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 5: going up to guys and trying to talk to them,

108
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 5: and has happened a lot, Like more than once.

109
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: These German guys would tell me after I talk for

110
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: a minute, They're like, you're too much energy. They didn't

111
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: tell you. Yeah, they you need to calm down.

112
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: You're kind of a lot.

113
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: That's the first time you've ever heard anybody say that.

114
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: So I mean more than one person in a night,

115
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 5: like that's amazing people out of bar yacht. But then

116
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: my goal shifted from talking to German Man. I was

117
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: trying to find anybody not German, you know, Spanish, the Irish.

118
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 5: Like I was on a hunt for non German people

119
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: the rest of my trips.

120
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: You need somebody more high. Yeah, I've never heard of

121
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: the Germans is laid back, so that's interesting. I don't know.

122
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: They didn't like it, but I bought him Frinks anyways,

123
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: because it was cheap, only.

124
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: A million euros.

125
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?

126
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: Well, I went to my first Christmas tree lighting ceremony

127
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: ever really this weekend.

128
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: I was really excited for it because I've never been

129
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: to one.

130
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: It's a new experience, big holiday tradition. I wanted to

131
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: see what it was all about. Yeah, so I'll set

132
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: the scene for you. It's about two hundred people in

133
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: this small town square, all just milling around out in

134
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the cold for an hour.

135
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: That sounds right, Yeah, you make it sound.

136
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: Just standing around looking at this big, dark tree.

137
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Did they have any carollers out there?

138
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: There is a table serving like mildly warm cocoa, folks,

139
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: just kind of mild. Finally, someone gets on the microphone

140
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: and thanks everybody for coming, and he's like, so my

141
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: dad just passed away. Oh I saw the first seventy lightings.

142
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: This would have been his seventy first, but he died.

143
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: I'm laughing because it's so bad. It's like, anyway, let's

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: light this thing. It was kind of a bummer. But

145
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: then they went right into the countdown, you know, three two, one,

146
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: big pause, no lights?

147
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: No was Dad back.

148
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: Everybody?

149
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: Fifteen seconds later, boom, one strand of lights, one little

150
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: strand on this huge tree.

151
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, Bob, did you check that you put

152
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: him up there? I supposed to get it.

153
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: And then no music, no confetti. That was that was

154
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: kind of it. Go to another one, Jeff, I promise you.

155
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: I was kind of think of the opposite, like is

156
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: that how they normally go?

157
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: Kind of it's kind of hard for the.

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Cool anti climatic.

159
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I thought lighting the Honkka candles was depressing this.

160
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: We took.

161
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Lad, I got it.
