Speaker 2: Well, I sent you the text? You know you want

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: to hear how I got to the US.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: What I tell me as if you set me nothing?

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Bet So.

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: You know I've been in the US for about I

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: don't know. Now it's been eleven years, and I didn't

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: really get here, uh you know the plain way per se.

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: I'm from uh, Central America, and you know I kind

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: of walked here when I was fifteen?

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: You walked here?

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: From where? From where?

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: Central America? I don't want to say the country, but

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: the Central America.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to say the country?

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess I'm I don't want to

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: put a specific country to it. Well, I guess everybody

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: from Central America does it.

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: I'm Salvadorian, Salvadorant. How far away is El Salvador from

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the US? And what's the walking? How long it take

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: you to walk there?

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: I guess I shouldn't say walk. I mean I did

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: take some you know, car transportation here and there, but

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: it was with like a do you know what a

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: coyote is? U?

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: Oh?

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Ship? Yeah? Yeah, like a coyote? Yeah, yeah, like, uh,

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: those are people who are who like they they bring

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: bring people over the border.

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, for a payment. So it's actually it costs my mom,

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: I believe Eve about ten dollars for the trip.

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, and she sent just you.

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just me wow. I basically it started

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: at like five am, no, like three am in Al Salvador.

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: I was you know where they put the luggage in

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: the buses at the bottom. There was like four kits

40
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: at the bottom to cross from Al Salvador to Guatemala.

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Wow.

42
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: And then once you're on the other side, then somebody

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: from that side picks you up and then essentially drives

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: you up to the Mexico border, because you know, Mexico

45
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: still doesn't like immigrants coming from the bottom either, which

46
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: is interesting to hear. Right, But once you do cross

47
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: over to Mexico, then they like pay a cartel a

48
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: fee to get over or whatever, and they allow you

49
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: to get over. And once you cross over, then they

50
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: get you onto like a mini bus essentially, and then

51
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: you drive through all of Mexico until you get to

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: the border and at the border right before the river.

53
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is too much information at once.

54
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: No go ahead, I am following.

55
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So once you get to the border, they have

56
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: like a house right before the river crossing onto the US.

57
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: Right now. The crazy thing is that, you know, at

58
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: the time I was fifteen, I thought I was only

59
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: going to see people from you know, Latin America. There

60
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: was so many different people from so many different countries.

61
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm talking India, China, you know, all the way down

62
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: from like Brazil and people that you know, you wouldn't

63
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: expect to be there. It was like super strange. And

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: there was this Indian guy that had like some like

65
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: crazy gold chains, like he looked like he was loaded

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: with money, you know. So basically we're at this point,

67
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: we're right before the river right now, we get a

68
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: guide the nose to Path on how to make it

69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: to the US, and I mean, I don't really care

70
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: because you know, it's a long time agoing out. But

71
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: and I'm also not illegal anymore, by the way, got

72
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: through the whole system and was able to get a

73
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: green card. But once you get the guide. I remember

74
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: we crossed the river at night and we had to

75
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: wait at the other side of the river and we

76
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: heard it like a loud splash next to us and

77
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: on that, you know, we didn't know what it was

78
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: and I looked over and it was like an alligator.

79
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: Obviously we're freaking out, but we still have to wait

80
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: for the guide at the other side of the river

81
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: for to reach us. So he finally makes it to us,

82
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: and I believe we walked for two nights. We would

83
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: only walk during the night because during the day, you know,

84
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: immigration could see you or whatever. And once you make

85
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: it to the other side, then a pickup truck just

86
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: picks you up, and you got to run to it

87
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: because if you don't, you might be left behind. Even

88
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: though you've paid ten thousand dollars to be there and

89
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: to get help, they don't care. And then once you're

90
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: in Texas at this point, right once you're in Texas,

91
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: they asked for like an addition of two thousand dollars

92
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: for you to be free or the kurttail basically sends

93
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 2: you back.

94
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: How did you get the two thousand dollars?

95
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: So it was kind of like an additional like fee

96
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: that they wanted. And I remember at the time my

97
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: mom had like, you know, obviously she's already paid ten k,

98
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: so how is she gonna get you know, more money,

99
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: and she told me that she ended up borrowing money

100
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 2: from everybody that she could and she got the money together. Wow,

101
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: was able to pay it.

102
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: So so and do they do they take did they

103
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: take her ten k? And then say they were going

104
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: to do everything? And then once they got you there

105
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we need another two k or else

106
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: we'll send you back type shit.

107
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: Pretty much? Yeah, pretty much because at that point, you're

108
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: they have you in Texas and there's like plenty of

109
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: articles that you can see everywhere, but like there's a

110
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: lot of like cartel activity like near the border in Texas, right,

111
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: So they'll they'll rent like a whole house and they'll

112
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: have a lot of immigrants come to that one house

113
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: as a hub, and then they send them across the US.

114
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: Those cartel guys are real jerks, dude.

115
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: They're like it's a crazy like how they It's like

116
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: it's kind of wild how organized they are.

117
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: You know.

118
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: So, I'm curious about a few things. What was it

119
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: that inspired your mom in the first place to send

120
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you from El Salvador to America? What was the thought process?

121
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: What was waiting for you in America?

122
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever heard of what's it called the

123
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: MS thirteen.

124
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: MS thirteen, Yeah, no, sir, what is that?

125
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: So at some point MS thirteen was like the most

126
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: dangerous or one of the most dangerous gangs in the world,

127
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: and it started in the US during a civil war

128
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 2: in Central America. I think I believe it was around

129
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: like towards the end of the eighties seventies, if I'm

130
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: not too wrong there, But there was a civil war

131
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: Central America, which a lot of Americans don't know about,

132
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: and it was an Alsavador. A lot of people migrated

133
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: to the US during that civil war. They saw the

134
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: gangs in around California, and a lot of those you know,

135
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: Hispanic people there ended up making their own gangs and

136
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: then they got deported back to Osavador. Now because of

137
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: those gangs, I had to leave the country. They typically

138
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: want you to join the gang around like fifteen sixteen,

139
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: seventeen years old, and at that time, it was like

140
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: crazy dangerous, Like you couldn't go out side with like

141
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: anything branded, like wearing anything branded, so like if you

142
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: had Nike shoes, forget about it, they were gonna steal them.

143
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: Now the country has become a completely different place, like

144
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: it's I would argue it's safer than the US, which

145
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: is crazy to think, but it's completely different. I'm even

146
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: thinking about moving back.

147
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, hold on to those thoughts because I have

148
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: I have more questions. So basically, there's a it's like

149
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: a draft almost. It's like you either join the gang

150
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: or you'll be terrorized by it. Those are two or killed. Yeah,

151
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: it was usually killed. Yeah.

152
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: Like I had a couple of friends that you know,

153
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: I grew up with and they're no longer around, you know,

154
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: So it's it's wild that I had the opportunity to,

155
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, to be able to leave.

156
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: What happens to your mom?

157
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: She's still in the US with me?

158
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: Oh when did she? When did she come?

159
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: So that's the thing. So I kind of missed that,

160
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: I guess. But she came to the US first, and

161
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: the idea was for her to be in the US

162
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: for two years and buy a house in a Salvador

163
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: and move back.

164
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: You know.

165
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: That didn't happen. She ended up staying in the US,

166
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: and then she got me to come over to the

167
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: US instead to you know, have a better life. And yeah, so.

168
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: There were two quick Oh yes, why do you think?

169
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Why do you want to come back to El Salvador,

170
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and why do you think it's better than the US.

171
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: Now, I wouldn't say it's like like better than the US,

172
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I feel like this whole political

173
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: stuff that's been going on, I'm a little tire of it.

174
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: And it's just, you know, I have had so many

175
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: racist things said to me, and it's just, you know,

176
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm not trying. I usually try not to let it

177
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: get to me, but it's it gets exhausting after a.

178
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: While, you know, go ahead, Yeah, No.

179
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: And owning a you know, I really want to buy

180
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: a house. Yeah, And I just even if you pay

181
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: off the whole thing, you still got to pay taxes

182
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: on a yearly. Where if I was in Al Salvador

183
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: and I own twenty acres, I don't want to pay

184
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: taxes for nothing?

185
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: Is that really true? You don't have to pay property

186
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: tax and El Salvador as far as I.

187
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: Know, No.

188
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

189
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: My mom actually just finished building a house in Al

190
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: Salvador and she just paid taxes on the land that

191
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: she bought and that's about it.

192
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's interesting. I didn't know that UH countries exist,

193
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: right't have to pay property taxes on your land because

194
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: it's weird in the US at least, it's like you

195
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: never actually there's never, like you pay off your fucking

196
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: your ship and then you never have to pay anything

197
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: ever again. It's like you pay off your shit and

198
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: then you got to pay all these extra fees forever

199
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: until you die.

200
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Is that like even like let's say

201
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: you own the house and then you know you're going

202
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: through some bad times and you can't pay the taxes,

203
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 2: the you know they're going to take it away. Yeah, yeah,

204
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: you know so. But yeah, I've been in the US

205
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: for like ten years now. It's you know, hopefully my

206
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: accent is not too too thick, but now I have

207
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: had my ups and downs in the US, you know.

208
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: But it's it's definitely a uh, not a place to

209
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: retire at, that's for sure. I don't know if you've

210
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: seen a lot of people are retiring in Mexico from

211
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: the US.

212
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, my whole my YouTube feed is all this

213
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: like retire for forty dollars a month in you know

214
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: this Southeast Asian or Latin American or Central American country.

215
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: That's all all the videos. I mean, No, America is

216
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: a terrible place to retire. There's it's such a expensive

217
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: place to live. Like if you compare I mean, if

218
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: you take American dollars anywhere outside the US, you're balling.

219
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: And then I assume, like, yeah, if you were making

220
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: your money and like in Mexico, like in pesos, and

221
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: you fucking came up to the US, like you just

222
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: get fucked.

223
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: That, And like even even down to like the fruit,

224
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: the produce, everything is healthier. I recently went back to

225
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: visit some family in Alsavador, and I was kind of

226
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: mind boggled at how cheap everything was. Like I think

227
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: like six of us eight we went out to eat,

228
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: and I think I only spend like forty dollars.

229
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Crazy, yeah, crazy, yeah, I mean six people going out

230
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: to eat in America, there's about three hundred and forty dollars.

231
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: You know, So especially I live in the New Anglan area,

232
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: and my god, everything is so expensive over here.

233
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Are you in Boston?

234
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 5: Yeah?

235
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Cool?

236
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: Cool, near nearer there. But by the way, I wanted

237
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: to ask you something I've always you know, I've listened

238
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: to your I mainly listened to you on the podcast,

239
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: by the way, cool, I don't really clock in on

240
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: on on twitch, but I tried to do as much

241
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: as I can. I thought I thought it would be cool.

242
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you think this would be

243
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, interesting or not, but I thought it would

244
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: be cool to have a Spanish vers of the Gek okay,

245
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: but it wouldn't be like, you know, it's like a

246
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: take on the gek, but it would be like a parrot,

247
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: but it's in Spanish.

248
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Are you are you saying you want to do? Are

249
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: you saying you want to dress up as a parrot

250
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: and take phone calls in Spanish?

251
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: I would love to, Yeah, but I didn't know if

252
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: it would be like cloiche or like, you know, rude

253
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: to do something like that.

254
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I don't own the concept

255
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: of taking phone calls.

256
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, people have.

267
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040

268
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: ask you this. So tell me there's gotta be some

269
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: reason people are still sticking around in the US. Tell

270
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: me in the past eleven years. Has there been pros

271
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Has there been stuff where you're like, all right, this

272
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: stuff is at least better than it was back home.

273
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Is there anything you can think about.

274
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, just being able to like express yourself, you know,

275
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: because like if I was back in Olsavador, like religion

276
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: is such a huge part of the culture that like

277
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: me saying something like, oh, you know, I don't really

278
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: believe in God, it's like like almost like frowned upon,

279
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, like being able to just really be yourself,

280
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: like you know, from time to time, I pay my nails,

281
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, and or if I wanted my hair to

282
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: be paid. There's plenty of people doing that in the US,

283
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: you know, where in other countries it's just not you know,

284
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna get some weird looks and you're not gonna

285
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: be comfortable.

286
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: M m.

287
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: You know that's pretty cool. I think that like being

288
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: able to open a business and kind of like get

289
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: it going fairly quickly is pretty cool too. I don't

290
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: have one on my own, but it seems like everybody's

291
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: opening on LLC lately.

292
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: Is that something you thought about doing?

293
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have. I have a photography business, and I

294
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: do YouTube here and there, but it's I love cameras

295
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: and like anything media related. Like when I got my

296
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: green card, the judge asked me. He was like, hey,

297
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: you know, once you graduate high school, what do you

298
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: want to do? And I said, I want to be

299
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: a movie director, not realizing how long that can take,

300
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: but you know something I can still do.

301
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: You said, what do you make YouTube videos about?

302
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Mainly cameras? And I got an e bike recently. It's

303
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: mainly I'm like, yeah.

304
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Dude, okay, So I actually I'm in New York now

305
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna get a fucking e bike. Dude.

306
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like going to the e bike stores.

307
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm shopping around for it. I'm trying to get one

308
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: of those. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm trying to get

309
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: an e bike. Do you do you suggest it?

310
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: I so suggest that the only anxiety about it that

311
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: I have right now is that apparently they're like super

312
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: easy to steal or like people love stealing them, right,

313
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 2: So that's the only issue. But it's funny. I actually

314
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: got the e bike because I have a friend that

315
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: lives in New York and I want to take it

316
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: right around in New York because it seems like it'd

317
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun to do that there.

318
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: The old problem is when you when you're riding an

319
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: e bike, there is a chance that you will get

320
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: hit by a car and die m h yeah, or

321
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: w for the rest of your life and people will

322
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: make fun of you.

323
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: I just watched well, I mean, I guess you could

324
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: say that about anything though. I mean, you can walk

325
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: outside of the house and trip and hit your head,

326
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: you know.

327
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.

328
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: True.

329
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: The e bike I got, it's like a thousand dollars.

330
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: It's like a cheap o like electric e bike that

331
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: looks like that one of those like cafe erasers.

332
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: That's cool. I was looking at something like I was

333
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: looking at something like that around that price range.

334
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got amos on it. I'm like pay a

335
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 2: month be for it. So it's not even like anything

336
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: crazy extensive because they can go up to like five K.

337
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: So what do you do with your life in the

338
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: US right now?

339
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: I'm actually going to school. So I'm going to school

340
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: to have like a a solid job. I'm getting Uh

341
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: it's essentially cybersecurity. That is an umbrella degree. So it's

342
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: just in the tech stuff that's to have a solid income.

343
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm really passionate about, like the photography stuff, but it's

344
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: so difficult to get business with that. That's just not

345
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: that reliable. It's like I'm trying to be a rock star.

346
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: You know, it can happen, it's just I shouldn't rely

347
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: on it too much, you know.

348
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: So if you if you did go back to El Salvador,

349
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: when do you think you would do it? Would you

350
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: wait until you finish school?

351
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty much? So you know what I want to do.

352
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: I want to get a degree in the US to

353
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, try to do something within the US that's

354
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: tech related and potentially like be remote. Like it'd be

355
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: so cool to have a job that pays you US

356
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: money and live in a country like Ol Salvador where

357
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: stuff is a little bit cheaper.

358
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, or like yeah, I mean that's the that's

359
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: that's the life hack right there. And also, you know,

360
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I was just thinking that I literally just had the

361
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: star just now. I'm like, you know, it's really I

362
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: think the thing that holds me back from moving to

363
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: a foreign country is that I just I don't know

364
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: anyone in El Salvador or or Southeast Asia or anything

365
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: like that. But for you to take your US dollars

366
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: and your US job and go back to a foreign

367
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: country where you have I mean not a foreign country,

368
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: but to go back to home, to go home, have

369
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: your friends and your family. Yeah, and you're and I

370
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: mean you'll just be balling the fuck out.

371
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, correctly, you know. And like a house, you can

372
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: definitely get a house of like fifty thousand dollars and

373
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: they'll be.

374
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: Like a nice house. That's crazy, you know.

375
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: Stuff is it is here and they're cheap and what not.

376
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: By the way, if you want to travel around there

377
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: also there was like the perfect place to go right now.

378
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: And apparently I didn't know this, but belief like their

379
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: main language is English really yeah, and then the secondary

380
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: language is a Spanish I guess. I guess they also

381
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: have a lot of like I think it was Mormon people.

382
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: There's like a huge community of Mormons, and I believe

383
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: it was Mormons. But yeah, I thought that was kind

384
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: of wild too, that most people don't know that.

385
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: What's your name again, Orlando? Rolando, Orlando. It's been really

386
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: good talking to you. This is this has been super interesting.

387
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 4: Cool.

388
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Thanks man.

389
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to the

390
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: people of the Actually, no, I want to do that.

391
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I want to do this real quick before I before

392
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: I let you go, does the chat have any questions

393
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: for Orlando about any of this stuff. I'm gonna let

394
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: the chat ask a few questions. Someone said, someone in

395
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: the chest said, if you die on an e bike,

396
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: you deserve it. And you know what, I don't. I

397
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: don't know the thing that you said about, like you

398
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: can you can die just walking outside. Your likelihood to

399
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: die riding an e bike in New York City is

400
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: way higher than just walking around. Yeah, but like undeniably. So,

401
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: uh okay, what's what's the top speed on your e bike?

402
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: I think it's thirty miles per hour? It can do forty,

403
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: but I'm a fat ass, so like it only tops

404
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: up at thirty, so it's not so crazy fast.

405
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Someone said, uh uh, well, what do you do now

406
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: for work? You said you're in school, but do you

407
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: do work too?

408
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I do sales. I work at a wireless company

409
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: selling cell phones.

410
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: Totally thought you were gonna say you do e bike sales.

411
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I tell cell phones. And it's been really

412
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: boring because all of these new iPhones that are coming

413
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: out are the same thing every year.

414
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: Man.

415
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

416
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: Someone asked, will you bring your mom to America? Your

417
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: mom's your mom's already in America with you.

418
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was the first one here and then she

419
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: brought me over here.

420
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

421
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: Someone said, you can't look cool on an e bike.

422
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think I've seen some e bikes and

423
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, these would be really cool.

424
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: Honestly, that was like my biggest concern because.

425
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: That sounds like sounds like a lot of people in

426
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: Chad are jealous that they don't have e bikes, is

427
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: what I'm getting there.

428
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: There's so much fun and they're like honestly, most people

429
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 2: think they're like more expensive than they actually are. Every

430
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: one for a thousand dollars on Amazon, and if you

431
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: want to, you can pay monthly for it. If you

432
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: want to pay monthly for it, I think it's like

433
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: thirty dollars a month.

434
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: Wow, I just have to pay this.

435
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just have to pay the shipping, which

436
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: is like I think it was like two hundred or

437
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: something like that.

438
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: Final question, someone says, Oh, do you have any other

439
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: family members down there who are planning to come to

440
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: the US.

441
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I've asked multiple people, Like my

442
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: dad lives on there, like you know, most of my family,

443
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: like my grandparents. They they you know, now that the

444
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: country's doing better, they don't want to leave. They're pretty

445
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: happy over there.

446
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: How long did it take for the country to do

447
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: better and not be overtaken by gangs?

448
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: There's a look into this president because he's been doing

449
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: a lot of cool stuff. But his name is Naibu Kelle,

450
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: so it's just a Salvadorian president. He's a younger guy.

451
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: I think he's I forget how old. He's within forty

452
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: to thirty age range. And he changed the country completely.

453
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: He basically if you had Gang Tatoo's, if you wereang affiliated,

454
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: you were going to jail. So everybody that's affiliated to

455
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: that gang is currently in jail. And a brought down

456
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: the crime rate like too crazy.

457
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Low, Wow, that sounds like, uh, what a crazy like

458
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: thing to tackle, Like, how had he crack down on it?

459
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: It must be like insane amounts of corruption to the

460
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: deal with.

461
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he basically went into he went into the government.

462
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: He did an investigation on everybody that worked under his

463
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: you know name, and essentially fired anybody and through anybody

464
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: that wasn't doing their job correctly obviously if they were

465
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: breaking the lot and you know, to jail. Yeah, exactly.

466
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: So there's plenty of videos on YouTube about it. But

467
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: it's pretty cool and it's not. The crazy thing is

468
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: like not that many people know about it, and it's

469
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,520

Speaker 1: How's life? Life is a little.

505
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: Crazy, But I don't know. I guess I'm a good

506
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: in a bad way.

507
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: Life is a little crazy. It might actually be the

508
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: craziest thing there ever was.

509
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: I guess we wouldn't have anything else to compare it

510
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: to otherwise, but it's pretty crazy.

511
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, what do you want to talk about today?

512
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 3: So? As I said in my text, I am an

513
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: online content creator, an online adult content creator, and I'm

514
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: kind of living a double life. Like my parents don't

515
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: know about it, Like I don't know, like I'm twenty nine.

516
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: Was not necessarily like they have to know about it,

517
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: but I am very close to them, and like I

518
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: tell them, I so work at Walmart and I don't.

519
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 3: And it's just like keeping track of all these lives

520
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: isn't fun. And I'm like putting my faith out there

521
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: and getting more popular. So I'm like, it's going to

522
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: happen eventually, and I don't know how to address it.

523
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: You're getting more popular? What's you your main platform?

524
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: I post a lot on like Reddit and set life,

525
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: and I'm starting to get more popular on Twitter or

526
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: I guess X now mm hmm.

527
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: And let me ask let me ask you this. Are

528
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: you having fun?

529
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: Yes, for the most part, I am having fun, But

530
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, like because I'm starting, like I'm actually

531
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: doing this like full time now, like how I support myself.

532
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: It's starting to feel like a job, like I guess,

533
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: like at the end of the day, like and you

534
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: think like you gets tired of it. Oh yeah, sometimes

535
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: like I get so burnt out, like pretending that like

536
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: I am more attracted to these guys than I really am,

537
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: just like for the sake of making content.

538
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: You know, you know, everything just becomes a job. I mean,

539
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a I'm a this is my job

540
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: as being a gecko and talking to people. And it's definitely,

541
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, while still fun, while still while a great,

542
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: amazing job, still a job. You know. Yeah, it's so okay.

543
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: So well, I guess fun maybe funds not the word

544
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: fund's part of it. Are you are you sure? Are

545
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: you enjoying it's Are you happy with it being what

546
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: you are doing with your life?

547
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

548
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: And no again, I like before this, all I was

549
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: doing was like working in retail and I was going

550
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: to be a chef, like I went to culinary school,

551
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: and I being a chef is just not for me.

552
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: It's way too stressful. So like all things considered, like

553
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: this is way better than anything else I've ever done.

554
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm having fun. But I also like worry because you know,

555
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: like there's such a stigma around like doing stuff like

556
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: this and being a sex I mean, I guess I'm

557
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: not necessarily sex worker, but I am. At the same time,

558
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: I like worry because, like I put my face out there,

559
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: so like if I choose one day to not do this, like,

560
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: am I like fucking myself up in the future?

561
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, well, what in what way do you feel

562
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: as though you're sucking yourself up in the future?

563
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: Like if I don't know, I guess like I've always

564
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: had the fear or the idea instilled me. Like everything

565
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: on the internet last forever, and it's incredibly true. Like yeah,

566
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: even if I delete everything, like people save stuff and

567
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: like they can continue to post it so it doesn't disappear, right,

568
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: So if like a future employer sees that and they're like, oh,

569
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: that's not okay, and so another like I've made some

570
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: content like at work, and like that's also like a

571
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: reason like why God, It's like so popular. I didn't

572
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: know what.

573
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: Can I can I ask where you work? Were you,

574
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: uh were sticking your penis sense of donut holes at

575
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: the Chrispy Kreme?

576
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: Yeah you caught me?

577
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: No, I was. I was like taking my tips out

578
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: of like the retail store I worked at, and nice.

579
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: I got worried that I would eventually like get caught

580
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: and people like start to recognize me in like anyways.

581
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't like overtly like saying like oh hey,

582
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: this is where I work, but like people would recognize

583
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: me like oh hey, I like your stuff, and like

584
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: it made me worry. So I just quit And now

585
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: this is what I'm doing.

586
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Well, okay, future employers, what yees? All right? I mean

587
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: you're you're twenty nine, right, yeah, uh, you've been alive

588
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: long enough that and while all these things could change,

589
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: you've been alive long enough that you have some semblance

590
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: of an idea of how you want to live, right, yeah, okay?

591
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: What so.

592
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: Like when you really break it down, in what way

593
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: do you feel as though people knowing that you've you've

594
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: done porn or whatever negatively interferes with that way that

595
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: you want to live your life? Like that's the that's

596
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: the real if you if like we've through all the

597
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: bullshit and all the people being like, oh I've seen

598
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: your tits, Like, that's the real question. It's the real

599
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: question to ask yourself.

600
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I don't know. My biggest fear

601
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: is I just don't want to get fired from another

602
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: job because you're like, oh, I don't want you taking.

603
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: Your tits out here.

604
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, I understand that. But but are you not?

605
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean, is this is it a financial worry?

606
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 3: Are you?

607
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: I assume are you? Are you making good money doing this?

608
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

609
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: A decent amount, okay, And and I don't know, Like

610
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: I mainly like I'm just like on fansly and everything.

611
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: I don't have an only fans anymore. But it's been

612
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 3: pretty chill. And I guess I also worry about like

613
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: my safety and everything, like because oh, sure, I'm like,

614
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm a single female and like I live alone, so

615
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 3: like putting myself out there so publicly does that put

616
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: me in danger as well?

617
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: Enough?

618
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: I sure so, But I guess, like I mean, do

619
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: you for the future, do you want to work for

620
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: yourself or do you want to get a job working

621
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: for someone else?

622
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, I kind of like working for myself. I like

623
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: having my own schedule and doing what I want when

624
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,040

Speaker 1: Just like, do it for as long as you want

629
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,640

00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: to do it, take whatever money you saved and start

631
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: something else. Yeah, because when you cause, we don't, I

633
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: a like it could be sex worker, it could be anything.

634
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: This is like we don't we don't live in a

635
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: universe where your capacity to do things is so heavily

636
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: gate kept by what other people think of you, you

637
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, we don't. I don't think

638
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: we live in that universe so much anymore. And that's

639
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: and that's why I don't think you you maybe have

640
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: as much to worry about as you think fair enough.

641
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: So I told you that, Like my parents don't know, right,

642
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: and I'm I don't think that they would stop talking

643
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 3: to me, like because of that, Bicyley, Judge me, I

644
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 3: am worried about the possibility of my sister cutting off

645
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: contact with me and my niece is just because she's

646
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: just not like porn at all. I don't know if

647
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: she'd ever do that, but I worry about things like

648
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 3: that too.

649
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: You know, that would be really sad. That would be

650
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: that would be really sad. And I'm sor I'm and

651
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that you feel like your sister

652
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: would do that.

653
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: I hope she wouldn't, but you know, I get worried

654
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: about these things.

655
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: MM, well, do you want to plug? You can plug

656
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:38,879

659
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do because that makes me

660
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: sad because, like I mean, I don't know. Man, if

661
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: if I found out my sister was doing porn, I

662
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't give I wouldn't want to see it. But uh

663
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't give a shit. It's sheer,

664
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: especially if she's twenty nine years old.

665
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am an adult and I can make my

666
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: own decisions.

667
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what would so? I mean, if you were to

668
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: start another business, what would you do?

669
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I guess I just I

670
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: love being creative, and I actually found out that I

671
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: like editing, So maybe like being a full time editor

672
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 3: for somebody.

673
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 2: If I wouldn't have to worry about like it's.

674
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: My I feel like it's a lot easier if I'm

675
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: working from home and not customer facing and worrying about

676
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: like people recognizing men those things like that. But could you,

677
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: like I just don't want to be like stocks or

678
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: anything like that, so sure, sure, yeah, I don't know.

679
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,920

680
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: to school and everything too. I don't know. I don't

681

682
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,560

753
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: know in the comments or the or the what did

754
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: you think of this podcast? Spotify Interact fucking thing. I

755
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: think retirement accounts are stupid. I opened one, I put

756
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of money in it, but I kind

757
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: of think they're dumb because what I'm all right, so

758
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: the wroth Ira you put okay, you pay taxes right

759
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: on your money, and then after that you take that

760
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: money and you put it in a roth Ira account

761
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: and then you can invest it in the stock market,

762
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: and then when you're sixty years I think sixty years old,

763
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: you can take the gains out tax free. But you can't. Basically,

764
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: you can't touch that money until you're sixty years old.

765
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, look, I might be who's I might

766
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: be dead by then? What the fuck am I saving

767
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: money for for a time when I'll be dead? I

768
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: think it doesn't make any sense. And even if I'm

769
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: not dead, Like let's say I make it to sixty.

770
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm probably I'm gonna only have like a couple of

771
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: years after that, So don't open a retirement accounts. Spend

772
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: all of your money on funkal pops and ice cream.

791
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: That wasn't a jit, That wasn't a bit. I genuinely.

792
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 5: I used to see like ghost as a kid, and

793
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 5: sometimes I'm like, I'm ordering if it's real or if

794
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 5: it was just me having schizophrenic episodes all the time.

795
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 5: But then other people will come forward and be like, yeah,

796
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 5: I've totally seen ghosts too, and so it makes me

797
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 5: feel less crazy.

798
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: Well, Jay, what's your name again? No, that was a joke.

799
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about today? Uh?

800
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 5: Well, it'd be cool if you could give me life advice.

801
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess I could talk about ghost stories.

802
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 5: I could talk about having cancer.

803
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you want me to give you life advice? Oh, yeah,

804
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: that'd be great about what?

805
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 5: So? The thing is, I'm living with my parents, and

806
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 5: I had to live with my parents because I got cancer,

807
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: and I'm broke on my ass. I don't really feel

808
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 5: like I'm living my life to the best that I

809
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 5: can be, especially considering I nearly fucking died. I don't

810
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 5: know how to proceed. I don't know how to go

811
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 5: forward or to how to like rebuild my life back

812
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 5: up to where it used to be because I feel

813
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 5: like I've awful sense of independence and my parents are

814
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 5: like kind of crazy but not really Like it's tolerable

815
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 5: most days if I'm respectful, but sometimes like something will

816
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 5: happen and it'll flare up and then I sort of

817
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 5: like claim show up again. But would you say free rent?

818
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 5: But emotional distress. Should I stay living at home, save

819
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 5: up money, get the fuck out of the country, or

820
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 5: move out don't have a lot of money, I might

821
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 5: potentially not be able to move to my dream country.

822
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: What is your advice? Good serve?

823
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have advice. I have questions.

824
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: Or do you still have cancer? Nope?

825
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 5: Intermission as of March.

826
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: Well look at that, well, look at that you have

827
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: the you have you have. You have something more important

828
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: than money, which is you're not dead. This is good

829
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: because think about think about how broke dead people are.

830
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 5: They don't got no money, no assets. Everything's to their

831
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 5: next of kin. I mean, sometimes you die and you

832
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 5: leave behind sounds of dead right when?

833
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: But when when you leave, when you leave something behind,

834
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: that means you don't have it anymore. So when you

835
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: leave behind your money, you go broke. The Elon Musk

836
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: when he dies, I'm going to be richer than him.

837
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: He'll have he will have own money in the after.

838
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: You will be richer than Elon Musk when he dies.

839
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: So think about all the wealth that you have right

840
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: there in that that you're not dead.

841
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 2: Good thing I didn't so I'm super rich.

842
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean for real, you actually are super rich because

843
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: you didn't die. That's amazing. What so now you're how

844
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: long have you been in remission?

845
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 5: Only a couple of months?

846
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: So okay.

847
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 5: My plan was I'm going to stay in the country

848
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 5: for as long as I'm in remission until in cancer free,

849
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 5: just because I feel like it's a nightmare to like

850
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 5: go to another country and like deal with health bullshit

851
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 5: while potentially not having insurance in that country. I think

852
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 5: they could go to Japan. I hear they have good

853
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 5: foreigners insurance.

854
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: But do you do you have any money? Do you

855
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: have any savings?

856
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 5: Honestly no, I'm like in the negatives because I was like, oh,

857
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 5: I have a job now I can like go on

858
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 5: these little trips. And then they fired me, Like do

859
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 5: you have a job now? Nope? I'm still looking.

860
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean you're and you're you're twenty three, yep,

861
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: why here's years. I feel like I feel like more

862
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: and more I'm becoming like a fine of personal finance

863
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: gecko or something. If I how long you've been looking

864
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: for a job.

865
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 5: I got fired Monday, So since then.

866
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: What was your job?

867
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 5: I was working at a coffee shop. It was honestly,

868
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 5: I really loved it. The environment was great, my coworkers

869
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 5: are nice.

870
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 2: But I just showed up to late.

871
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 5: I just showed up late to work literally every day.

872
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 5: So that was fair understandable.

873
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a great day.

874
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 5: The other half they fired me. I was like, I

875
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 5: probably don't want to say it out loud because I

876
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 5: feel like it'll give me away.

877
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: But that being said, wow, what do you mean gave you?

878
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: Give you away?

879
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 5: Oh? I just kind of want to. I don't want to,

880
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 5: like give the I don't want to give this company

881
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 5: ship because I think the way they handled the situation

882
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 5: was really poor. But that's my personal opinion.

883
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: Was it Starbucks?

884
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 5: No, it was not Starbucks. I'm actually applying for Starbucks both.

885
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: Was it uh, Duncan Donuts?

886
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 5: No, Dutch Bros.

887
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: Coffee shop? I can easily guess that. I'll just go

888
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: down the list of coffee shops. Okay, okay, was it

889
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: Dutch Bros. No? Was it Tim Horton's No. Fuck, I

890
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: don't know any other coffee shops.

891
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 5: That's okay. I give you for trying.

892
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: Good job, but I guess back to your situation, why

893
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: don't you just fucking you want an Actually, I actually

894
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: I think I actually have advice. I mean, how bad, Like,

895
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: how bad is your situation with your parents?

896
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 5: Well, most of the time they can be civil and

897
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 5: have definitely grown a backbone over the years and been

898
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 5: able to like establish better boundaries with them. But it's

899
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 5: honestly really stressful, like kind of being in an environment

900
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 5: where I'm like semi controlled all the time and do

901
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 5: and like queer and they're homophobic, so that's really stressful too.

902
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: Do they hit you? No?

903
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: No?

904
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, are you do you feel like you're in

905
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: an in danger at all?

906
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 5: So not anymore, is the short answer.

907
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the long answer?

908
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 5: The long answer is they were kind of shitty when

909
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 5: I was younger, but I think they just had their

910
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 5: own mental shit they couldn't deal with that affected their

911
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 5: ability to be good parents. And on top of that,

912
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 5: they just kind of never really addressed any of their

913
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 5: mental issues. So I feel like it's sort of like

914
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 5: ricocheted back on to me, and that was like super

915
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 5: stressful to grow up with. But now that I'm an

916
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 5: adult and like getting cancer definitely kind of like soften

917
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 5: them up a bit. Unfortunately, unfortunately, like terrible, terrible things

918
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 5: happening to you brings people closer to you, is my experience,

919
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 5: which is not ideal.

920
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, what's your dream country that you.

921
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: Said, Australia?

922
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: Love Australia. Why Australia.

923
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 5: I did a study abroad there, like right before I

924
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 5: got cancer, and then it was like amazing. It was

925
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 5: it was like they had literally beaches along the coast

926
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 5: and like the it was just so like.

927
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: No offense that no offense to Australians. But it's just like,

928
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Australia's fucking It's like if you had told

929
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: me that your dream country was somewhere less expensive than America,

930
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: which is most places, which is most places really, but

931
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 1: Australia I think might be more.

932
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a million dollars to my house.

933
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: So you want to go to you want to move

934
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: to Australia.

935
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 5: Yes, ideally that would be a very wonderful.

936
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 3: Life goal.

937
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 5: Bucket list item.

00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Okay, do you have a degree of any kind? And anything?

939
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: I do in what?

940
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 3: Art studies?

941
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: Art studies? Okay?

942
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

943
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, it'll be fine, I'll get a

944
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 5: degree in something I like doing, and now I cannot

945
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 5: get a proper job.

946
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, you kind of fucked yourself a

947
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: little bit. It's okay. It's up. By the way, I

948
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: just want to say it's okay to admit when you've

949
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: taken an l there's no shame in it. Really, it

950
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: really is. But I really, genuinely I mean this. If

951
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 1: I were you for the rest of my life, I

952
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: would actually just look at every I would just add,

953
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: but at least I didn't die of cancer. To the

954
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: end of every single thing he ever said, I mean,

955
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: anyone anyway, you don't have to You don't even have

956
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: to have had cancer to do that. You know, you

957
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: can do that. If you never had cancer, you could

958
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: be like, oh I got a flat I could be like,

959
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: oh I got a flat tire and I'm locked out

960
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: of my apartment. But at least I didn't get shot

961
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: in the head just now, and you can.

962
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 5: You can.

963
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of happiness in that. There really is

964
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of happiness in that. Here's what I

965
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: think is, why don't you, like, do you you need

966
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: you need like a logistical plan. You need to like

967
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: go on the fucking internet and look up and find

968
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: a dollar amount that that you need in your bank

969
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: account for you to you need a plan you need

970
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: a dollar amount that it would cost to execute that plan,

971
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: and then another plan uh as to how you are

972
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: going to save up that dollar amount. So you need

973
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: two plans. That's my advice is to go on the internet, chat, GPT,

974
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck and develop and execute those two plans.

975
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I appreciate that. Appreciate that you.

976
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: Have you looked into this ship? Have you? Have you

977
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: gone moving to Australia Reddit on Google and seeing what's up?

978
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 5: Oh shit, I didn't think about Reddit. I don't mostly

979
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 5: like looking up travel agencies.

980
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: But a lot of them are travel agencies.

981
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, like they'll be there's like international travel agencies, at

982
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 5: least for Australia, and they can if you pay the money,

983
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 5: they help you like establish which visa you can use.

984
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: And by the way, by the way, by the way,

985
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: bye way, by the way, before you move to Australia,

986
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 1: before you buy a visa, you know, take a trip.

987
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: Have you ever been?

988
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's where I did my study abroad.

989
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: Oh right, okay, you told me that, told me that,

990
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: All right, so you've been all right? I mean, how

991
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: much is a visa?

992
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 5: It was a lot. Well for a visiting visa. It's

993
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 5: only like I think three and fifty American dollars.

994
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 2: I am really.

995
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: Sure that's like nothing.

996
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah for just like a work in it's

997
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 5: like a it's like a work and vacation visa or

998
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 5: something and you can pay there for like six months.

999
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 5: And that's the one I got, so like, yeah, this

1000
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 5: is if you want to go to Australia, this is

1001
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 5: your call. You don't get a visa and then but

1002
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 5: the thing is to say there permanently. You can either

1003
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 5: like recycle that visa every year, or you can like

1004
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 5: find some way to like have a job sponsor you are,

1005
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 5: like uh, or like if you have a family member

1006
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 5: in Australia, you can like you connect with them or something.

1007
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 5: But this is just like honestly, I'm talking out of

1008
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 5: my ass, Like I have no fucking clue how to

1009
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 5: get any of this done. I just know it exists

1010
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 5: and can happen, but I don't know how to. Like

1011
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 5: I feel like the hot take would be like, oh,

1012
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 5: get a job to sponsor me, but then like they're

1013
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 5: probably going to really overwork me, and the whole reason

1014
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 5: why I want to be in Australia so I can

1015
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 5: go to the beach, like the really cool.

1016
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: The whole reason you want to go to Australia's to

1017
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: go to the beach. Yeah, okay, hold on, dude, if

1018
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: I seriously all dude, dude, dude, If all you want

1019
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: to do is like work as little as possible and

1020
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: go to the beach, there are eight billion other countries

1021
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: that are way better to do that in than Australia.

1022
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but.

1023
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: Well, for really you can do that, but just Australia

1024
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: is the worst place to do it. It's it's too expensive.

1025
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 5: Huh okay, fair enough, fair enough, Like.

1026
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: Go to fucking if. I mean, if you really wanted to,

1027
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: you could get it. You could live in your parents'

1028
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: house for two years and never leave your room and

1029
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: save up all your money and then take it to

1030
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: some random town in Southeast Asia and just hang out

1031
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: there for a while. And you know, I just Australia

1032
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: is just the worst place for you to do this plan.

1033
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: I think we'll go crazy. I don't know. It's your life,

1034
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: it's your life, that's my only My only advice to

1035
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: you is to come up with a dollar amount that

1036
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: you need to do whatever you want to do, and

1037
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: then a plan on how you're going to get there.

1038
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: It's my own advice. And to also just be like, hey, man,

1039
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: I didn't die of cancer, Like we're chills. I want
