WEBVTT - “I WAS JUST BITTEN BY A SNAKE”

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Hi.

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:00.920
<v Speaker 2>What is your name?

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:01.720
<v Speaker 3>My name's Jed.

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Jed. How can I get you today?

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Jed?

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's been an interesting morning. But I had two

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 3>new life experiences today and one of them is really

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 3>cool and one of them not so much.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what were they?

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Well? I got bit by a copperhead in the foot

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 3>at work, which, as you'd imagine, was pretty intense. So

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, I cussed out the snake and cursed his name.

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 3>My boss wrested me to the er, and they decided

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 3>to put me on a helicopter all doped up, which

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 3>is one of the coolest experiences ever, by the way,

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 3>So it was almost worth it in a way getting bit,

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 3>because when else when I was I ever going to

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 3>be able to get on a helicopter you know.

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Brouh, You know you can just get high.

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, I know I could, but that's not

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 3>what I mean, that's not my aim. It was just

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 3>a cool like cherry on top, like you know, like

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>a little treat.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>A little treat, I guess. Yeah, you don't have to

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>get bit by a snake to get high. I mean,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the helicopter ride is probably uh you know, that's a

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>whole that's an excursion.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, well you see, the thing is kind of

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 3>like a loophole. So I was just going to get high.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 3>People people would judge me. But like if you get

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 3>bit by a snake and then say, you know, you

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>got a bunch of shots and morphine, people are like,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>oh cool, that was awesome. You know, they can't judge.

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>You for that.

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. If you're if

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you're facing an injury or something like that and you

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>just get really high, you're actually you're a hero.

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Actually yeah, And they're like, ooh, I bet you felt good.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 3>But if I just go get high and then you know,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 3>they're like you piece of ship.

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Where do you work that you're hanging out

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>with snakes?

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, so I live in the woods, like in the holler, uh,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 3>on my boss's property. I'm mostly a full time musician,

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>but I do some like constructions and stuff on the side,

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 3>and uh yeah, I'm usually I'm usually really vigilant. That's

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 3>spend a lot of time in the woods grown up,

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>and I know what you look for. And surprisingly enough,

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen one on the property this year, So

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I guess I'll let my guard down. For one second,

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>and uh yeah, I felt what felt like a really

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>gnarly beasting and saw that little fucker slithering away, and

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 3>uh yeah, it was game time after that.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Where are you? Where's that beeping noise that I'm hearing?

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 3>That is my either my heart monitor or boodpression monitor,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>one of the two. Sorry about that? Are you annoying

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 3>me too? Yes, that's what I'm saying. I got wife

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>flighting or whatever they call it.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 2>What so, how how did you?

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, oh yeah, I guess no, yeah, you said

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing about the fucking helicopter. Sorry, I just

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>my brain operates as if it's always coursing with snake venom.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I like your brain.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks man, I'm gonna take that. Uh positively, definitely.

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>So how long are you in the hospital for? How

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>long do you have to sit there for?

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. They don't know yet. I could be

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 3>released tonight, or they might keep me overnight to monitor me.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even think I was gonna have to stay.

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 3>I was actually like kind of annoyed when they're like, well,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna, we're gonna keep you here a while. But

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 3>then I heard, you know, heard about the helicopter, and

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh yeah, bet let's go.

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Were you So when people get airlifted to a hospital

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>and a helicopter, I've always noticed that, tell me if

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>this is what happens. But like the people like typically

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>you're being dangled from the helicopter. Is that how it worked?

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh? I wish man, that would have been fun. They

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>didn't have to like pull me out of the woods

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 3>or nothing. I was able to live. I live in

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 3>the Ozarks, you know, very mountainous, beautiful region, and so

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 3>the nearest town is probably like, I don't know, twenty

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 3>minutes away, and it's a small, a small, little emergency room.

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 3>That figure did have everything I needed, you know. So

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I went there and apparently it didn't feel comfortable to

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 3>me there with the stuff they had, so they called

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 3>helicolter and I just got put it on a stretcher.

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 3>But it was really cool, man. They put like the

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 3>headphones with the microphone on it, you know. So I'm

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 3>sitting there all all buzzed like looking at myself and

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 3>I just want to see what that look like. So

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 3>I turned on my phone and it just looks really official,

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 3>you know. I think, I think I looked good at

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>a pilot.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's cool. I used to back when I

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 2>did stand up, I tried to make this bit work

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>where it was like use because they okay, so they

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>do that right where they dangle people from the helicopter,

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 2>and uh, I was always like, why don't you just

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>why do you just let him in? Why do they

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>do that? Just put him in the fucking helicopter? You know.

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's the that's the last place. That's

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the last place I would want to be if I

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>was injured, is dangling from a helicopter, right, Like, sorry.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 3>About your broken back, but you're about to go in

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 3>the ride of your fucking life. Man. Yeah, can they

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>at least like winch them up? You know what I mean?

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 3>There has to be a better system. Those are the

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 3>clips of people of the helicopters doing that with like

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>big animals like elephants and ship.

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sure, yeah, I have to that. Yeah the elephant,

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I get the elephant. They can't get him in.

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that's understanding.

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>That must be bro, that must be crazy for the elephant.

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, that's that's fucking I don't know the first

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 3>time I ever saw that, I was just like, huh,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Like this is like, what is the point of this?

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>They didn't look injured, you know, It's just like it's

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 3>like one of those things some dude woke up in

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 3>the morning. He's like, I have an idea. Boys, let's go.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna wrangle lesson elephant.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>So okay, I'm when when do you get discharged? Do

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you know?

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know yet. Let's see, I started this adventure

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 3>about one so and the swelling is still going up.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.799
<v Speaker 3>So they're just kind of I'm just kind of chilling

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 3>until they know more. But my friend just dropped me

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 3>off like a shitload of fried rise, so I'm like

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>sneakily eating it because I'm because I'm not supposed to

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 3>be eating.

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't tell well, hold on, why are you not supposed

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:30.679
<v Speaker 2>to be eating?

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Talk about them? They don't tell me anything, just tell

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 3>me what to do.

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, if the doctor tells you hold on,

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, pro if the doctor tells you you're not

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be eating, don't fucking eat? What are you doing?

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Well? They say they aren't, they aren't sure yet, and

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 3>I haven't. I'm not taking the end of venom and

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I haven't, you know, there's like I only took freaking

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 3>painkillers and commit a drill, Like, I'm pretty sure I

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 3>can eat on painkillers.

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Drill the doctor said. If the doctor says you're not

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>supposed to eat, don't eat.

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 3>They said they weren't sure. They didn't do it, yes

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 3>or no. Yeah, so they didn't definitely say it, don't.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 3>They said, well, we're still figuring stuff out. So I

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 3>feel like if it was that pertinent, they would have

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>been like, yeah, no, don't not like not make it

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of vague, because if you even vague, I'm gonna

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>do what I want to do. You know what I mean.

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, whatever do you do, I.

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Need to do it. Die copperheads, don't.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Feel I see where you're I see what your I

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>If they don't put that on me, don't put that

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>on me?

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you what do you?

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean?

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't put it on you? It's on you, Yes, it is,

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>it is on you. It is propectively on you. No,

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>if you die, here's I I will. I'll say this though.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I get where you're coming from. That if it was

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>hold on, hold on, if you yes, if it was

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 2>dire enough that if you ate you were going to die. Yes,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>probably they would be like, don't do it until we

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>find out. But that's what they fucking said. What I

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>don't care? I mean, I care a little bit, but

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I I care well, actually no, I care as much

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>as you do, which seems to.

<v Speaker 3>Dude along the line was like, hey, I got this flute.

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 3>I wonder what the Snake's gonna think, like, who comes

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:07.760

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>How old are you? Jed?

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm thirty four? Man, Holy shit, I thought.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>You were in nineteen bro.

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I sound like a young man and got like

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm still kind of childish. I'm like, you know, I

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 3>feel like I'm very uh, I've been through last shit,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm very emotionally mature, but I still like to just like,

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, I do fun stuff steel like skip rocks,

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>watch cartoons. You know. I'm trying to hold onto that

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 3>that childlike wonder as long as possible, because you got to.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yeah, thirty four years up? Thirty four is

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it's too old to be named Jed? I think.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 3>WHI should I change it to? It's I feel like

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 3>thirty five is probably a good cutoff, but I yeah,

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 3>thirty four is cutting close?

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thirty Yeah, thirty four is is? No. I think

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the cutoff for Jed is like twenty seven. I think

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty Maybe you could change it to something adult like David,

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe Adam Timothy. That's good.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if I made though, Lyle is you know, you're

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of too young to be named Lyle too, you know,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Le seems like an old man's name. I hate him,

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 3>but if we're pointing out each other's names, you know,

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 3>I just I just figured i'd throw that out there.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>What's the what's next for you in your life after

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 2>the snake bite?

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Well, I have to miss. I had a really

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 3>good paying gig tonight. I have to miss, which sucks.

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>So I think I'm just gonna like chilling beds for

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 3>a few days, play some guitar, eat ice cream and snacks,

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's kind of like cuddle over my dog and

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 3>shit man, which is kind of cool because I mean,

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 3>it sucks on one side, I can need money. On

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the other, like I never get like two days to

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 3>do nothing, you know what I mean. Like, so in

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 3>a way, I'm looking forward to it.

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>What kind of what kind of music do you play?

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 3>Uh? So I'm in one band. I'm a drummer, and

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not gonna plug it, just throwing it out

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 3>there because I like to have my own little face

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 3>and corner in privacy, you know what I'm saying. But

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 3>so I'm a drummer for one band for a singer songwriter.

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>But it's not like your typical singer songwriter stuff. It's

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 3>very very funky and uh, these words are so good man. Like, Uh,

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty picky when it comes to music. You know.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 3>I've been playing some sort of music and involved in

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of music teams for a long time. And

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 3>I really believe in the Stude's music. It's something special

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>and I just so happen to be a part of it,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 3>which is really awesome. I'm also I'm also a guitar player,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 3>you know. Uh. I used to do a lot of

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 3>traveling and it's like busting to get to the next

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 3>town and stuff, just to adventure, you know, And it's

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 3>always been a passionate mine. I love it. But I

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 3>never you ever thought. I never thought I would, like,

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 3>if you ask me five years ago, if I'd be

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 3>pretty much making a living playing music, I would last

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 3>like that don't doesn't happen, you know, like I might.

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, my assumption, I'd not be able to buy

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 3>some beers it sometimes and whatever, get some snacks. But

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually paying bill saving money. I'm getting all these

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>really really cool opportunities, and I don't know, it's crazy.

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.520

<v Speaker 3>only things that maybe you want to talk about are

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.599
<v Speaker 3>super depressing and fuck that ship. So it's happened to

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 3>me today. And after my last little shot of painkillers

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>and I saw that you'd come on, I was like, oh, well,

<v Speaker 3>I'm calling. I'm calling, yes, just gotta know about the

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 3>snake bite, all.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, I'm gonna take some questions from the chat. And

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.960
<v Speaker 2>then and then I'm gonna let you rest because you'll

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>be dead soon because you had too much fried rice.

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's see here, Well, I have a question. Where's the

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.240

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:00.559

<v Speaker 3>got that light roll.

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 2>That's cool. People want to know what kind of snake

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 2>you got bitten by. I think you said it was

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>a copperhead.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a younger copperhead, which is why I

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 3>think they were so nervous. I wasn't so nervous, but yeah,

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 3>it was a younger one, probably like two foot long,

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 3>not quite two foot in, like three quarters of an

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 3>inch diameterter.

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Someone wants to know what your favorite kind of snake is.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I like the ball pythons. They're just so chilled. And

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 3>I had this. There was this moment in time I

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 3>was like looking at one of one of my friends

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 3>and he like kind of yawned and smiled, and I

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 3>was like, holy shit, snake's yon. That's the cutest thing ever.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>From that moment on, I just really liked him.

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh I've never seen a snake yawn before. That sounds cool.

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 3>It was super cool, man. It was all very like,

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 3>it's very cartoony, you know, and he kind of like

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 3>like snacked his lips afterwards.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>It was very Someone wants to know, are you worried

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 2>about the bill for the helicopter ride?

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>You have to pay for that.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Ship, right, I mean I don't have to. I'm not

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 3>worried about the bill. I'm not gonna pay it, but

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not worried about it.

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait, what do you mean? You know? Don't they like

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 2>fuck it? Don't they go after you?

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean they can try, but I mean there's no

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 3>such thing as debtor. It's prison anymore. What are they

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna do that attack? Money already destroyed credit?

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess that's true. I was talking to I

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>was talking to It's funny, I was. I was talking

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>to a friend about this last night, and I was

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 2>We were saying, there are two ways to be rich.

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 2>One is to have a lot of money, and the

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>other is to be in so much debt that it's

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>not real.

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Right my thoughts exactly. So I had a similar not

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't even buy a snake, but I like so

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 3>the reason I fucked off worried about paying the bill

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 3>is because, like, who was it about a decade ago.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I had a really intense thing happened and you know,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 3>had to get surgery and blah blah blah blah blah.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 3>And I got the bill and it was like it

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>was laughable. I'm like, who's fucking afoid this? And you know,

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 3>there's been a couple weird hospital situations. What I owe

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 3>so much to hospitals that's not at a certain point,

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 3>it's like, yeah, I no, I can't even concern myself

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 3>with that. You guys, really when to come for me?

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 3>I guess, but I don't have anything to give you.

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, someone wants to know. Are you mad at

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the snake?

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not the snake's vault. Like I usually walk

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 3>around the property and I get rid of most around

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 3>the property. If not, I leave alone. It was I'm

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 3>usually really vigilant. I mean I did cut. Don't get

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 3>me wrong. I fucking cussed the dass out, like really loudly.

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 3>You call him a stupid, little slithery fuck. But I'm

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 3>not mad at him. I'm more mad at myself. I'm

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 3>not being as vigilant as I usually am.

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that probably really hurt his feelings. I know it

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>was rude, but I mean, like, you know, you gotta

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 2>tell me one time someone wants to know what you

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 2>were wearing. And I don't think they meant that in

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>a weird way. I think they just want to know.

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 3>So typically I have my boots on when I'm walking

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.719
<v Speaker 3>around the property. But this morning was supposed to be

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 3>like a very chill day. We were supposed to just

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.679
<v Speaker 3>like go down the road and get this back ho

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 3>and I was gonna follow boss Man back in his car,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, easy psy. So I'm like, I'm gonna wear

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.679
<v Speaker 3>my tea list today, get my hiking sands on, you know.

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 3>And it was one of those things. I was walking

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 3>out the door looking at my boots like maybe I

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 3>should put those on. I'm like, no, it'll be all right,

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 3>and uh lo and behold it was not all right.

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jed, I hope you get better. I hope that

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 2>the hot I hope I'm gonna give here's my manifestations

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 2>for you that'll end this car with. I manifest that

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the collections agency that works for the hospital will forget

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 2>about you. I manifest that the fried rice you just

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 2>ate won't kill you, or if it does that, it'll

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 2>do it fast. I manifest that you will heal from

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>your snake bite and that you will get super cool

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 2>powers that will allow you to talk to snakes. And

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I manifest that all the snakes I think you're cool.

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I assume that snakes, because that's the thing is, you know,

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 2>there's a whole thing of like it would be cool

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to talk to animals. But what if the animals think

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that you're like a lame loser?

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Got that?

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then it doesn't really matter if you can talk

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to them, but I think they'll probably think you're cool.

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Jet is anything else you want to say to the

0:18:58.400 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 2>people the computer before we go?

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 3>First of all, that was really thoughtful, all your manifestations.

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Wele thank you very much.

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>You're the man.

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 3>And I'll just leave you with a fun fact about

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 3>copperheads if you didn't know, copperheads are one of the

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 3>only snakes you actually make for life. And they'll meet

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 3>up and go to their din the same place every year,

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 3>which I find that interesting. And that's all I got.

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for calling jed ah right, buddy, I love you.

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.400

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 2>not that hard.

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 5>All from alex Ornoys.

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>These guys Hello, Hello, what is your name? Good sir,

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 2>my name is Alex. Alex. I really I don't know

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 2>why I'm saying this right off the bat, but you

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>seem like like a wholesome guy.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 5>No way, Well, I really appreciate that. Actually, I just

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 5>got off of wor. Yeah, you're a wholesome guy as well.

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I don't say that. I don't like when

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 2>people say that about me. I don't think whole. I

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 2>don't Wholesome is not a U. It's not really a compliment.

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just like it's like a it's a it's just

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 2>like an adjective. I don't know if it's inherently bad

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>or good.

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, Hm, I guess the way I perceive things

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 5>with being autistic, I guess when somebody says I'm wholesome,

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, it just seems like I guess I

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 5>took it as a compliment, but I appreciate it. I

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 5>can't believe.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not hold on, I'm not trying to I'm not

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 2>trying to insult you. I'm just uh, not that of

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 2>anything I'm saying is anything to do with you. This

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is this is just how my guess, my my brain works. No, wholeso.

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't like a whole wholesome. Like

0:20:53.359 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>when I think about the word wholesome, it feels like, uh,

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:05.679
<v Speaker 2>something fake about it maybe, or something like cutesy, And

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I guess I'm not like uh uh, I

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 2>guess I don't. It feels cutesy to me, and I

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 2>guess I don't like being called cutesy. But I'm also

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.400
<v Speaker 2>sitting here in an in an adorable Gecko costume. So

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I bring any and all of these things completely on

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 2>my own, I take I take responsibility for that. Anyway,

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>we got off the rails way too fast here, mister Alex.

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Enough about me and my and my dumb whatever. What's

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 2>going on with you?

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Would you would I assume, I assume you came here

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>for some reason. What would that reason be?

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 5>You're absolutely right, and my reason for trying to call

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 5>you so many times? And congratulations on streaming five days

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 5>in a row. I got the live alert, and I

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 5>was so excited. I just got off work. I wanted

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 5>to talk to you about I felt sabotaged and caused

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 5>myself to get fired from a really good corporate job

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 5>back in March, and I've been trying to land back

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.199
<v Speaker 5>on my feet, but it's really hard. I guess I

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 5>just don't really know how to feel about it because

0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 5>it was my fault. I don't think I'll ever get rehired.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 5>And now I'm in a way worse job, doing a

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.679
<v Speaker 5>lot more work and making a lot less money than

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 5>I was.

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I have a few I have a few questions.

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>How old are you, Alex?

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 5>I am twenty six?

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, rock and roll me too? What well, tell me

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>what did you do to get fired from this job?

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 5>I was working from home and mental health crisis kind

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.200
<v Speaker 5>of ensued and I kind of started my work computer

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 5>on fire.

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>You started your work computer on fire?

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Correct?

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Like had what? So you? What did you do to

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>set your computer on fire?

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So?

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 5>First I pour well, I tried to pour like some

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 5>cleaner on it and then wouldn't ignite. Then I just

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 5>used like an aerosol and just sprayed it with a

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 5>lighter underneath it, and once that started catching and then

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:24.439
<v Speaker 5>it went and then I kind of had like a

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 5>breakthrough after doing that. I was also incredibly intoxicated as well,

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 5>which didn't help things. But and then you know, kind

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.439
<v Speaker 5>of watched it burn for a little while, and I'm like,

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 5>what am I doing? Like the stupidest thing ever, you know,

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Like and I grabbed a fire extinguisher and I put

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 5>it out, but obviously trying to get a replacement on

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 5>that and didn't explain it very well. And yeah, my

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 5>fault entirely. I take responsibility.

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Why did you set your computer on fire?

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 5>And that's the question I've been trying to answer myself.

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 5>I am in professional therapy. I've been going for about

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 5>eight well over a year now, actually since I three

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 5>months before I even lost this job, and I've been

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 5>working with my therapist. I've been doing all these things

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 5>and I don't know I was too drunk, and that

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.239
<v Speaker 5>part is blacked out, like I don't I don't know

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 5>what what court snapped to cause me to take the

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 5>actions that I did. I just I know it happened.

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 5>And now I'm kind of in the clean up part.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 2>You said you referred to this as a mental health crisis.

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 2>What did something like trigger you to like go like

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 2>just like go go feral?

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, I know when I've because I've been trying to

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 5>work through this and go back through my thoughts I

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 5>from who I was talking to, I was talking with

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 5>a family member that tends to be kind of toxic

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 5>that had reached out to me, and I'd kind of

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 5>been fighting with them, and I'm thinking that may have

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 5>something to do with it, But I really I don't

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 5>know what triggered it, because looking back, like this was

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 5>the best job I ever had, and if I wouldn't

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 5>have gotten fired, I would I'm even now, eight months later,

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.119
<v Speaker 5>I've contemplated reapplying, but there's no way they're going to

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 5>hire me back, not after what I did.

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, Okay, that's a whole other aspect of this that

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious to get into, But for now, what'd your

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 2>therapist say when you told them that you lit this

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 2>computer on fire?

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:44.199
<v Speaker 5>They were pretty shocked. They kind of knew that I

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 5>hated this job. I certainly I didn't speak highly of

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:51.639
<v Speaker 5>it in therapy. I kind of trashed the job, and

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 5>I think it was more of an ego thing. I

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.239
<v Speaker 5>felt like I was almost better because I had this

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 5>decent job, and you know, I think my ego got

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.879
<v Speaker 5>the best of me. But they basically they've worked through

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 5>it with me. Kind of what happened more coping strategies,

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 5>recognizing the thought patterns you know, and especially you know,

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.719
<v Speaker 5>just trying to be better and did not have this

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 5>ever happen again.

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 2>So you didn't like this job. Is it something where

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>you hated this job so much that, uh, lighting the

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>computer on fire was a symbol of your hatred?

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:37.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, I've thought about it. I don't think it

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 5>was that. I mean, I greatly disliked the job, but

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 5>it could have been worse. And now even looking back

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 5>because of how bad you know, the economy is and

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 5>trying to get a new job, I look back on

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 5>it like, Hey, it wasn't even that bad at all.

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I think I just got it sol on for a second.

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I got I want to I'll get into what now

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in the future and all that stuff, But I guess

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious why you did this? What did Have

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>you done something like this before?

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Not with fire. I've gotten at that job previously. I

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 5>had gotten upset and like punched monitors and broke them,

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 5>but I've never started anything on.

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Fire as you're so, have you talked to your therapist

0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 2>about like like anger issues and whatnot?

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 5>I have? And that leads kind of into a can

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 5>of worms with the mental health and feeling stuff.

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what they don't.

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 5>They don't think I have anger issues. It's more me

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 5>having an inability to recognize my thoughts and feelings when

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 5>it comes to like some of the autism, like I can,

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 5>but kind of understanding how it works in a way,

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 5>recognizing how I feel. That's one of the reasons I've

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 5>been in therapy so long, is trying to be healthier.

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 5>I was in therapy even before any of this happened.

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm.

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Hm hmm.

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.679
<v Speaker 2>How long ago was this that you let this computer

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 2>on fire? Said March eleventh, Yeah, March eleventh. Have you

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 2>had any kind of bizarre like outbursts similar to that

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 2>in these past few months?

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 5>No, not in the past few months.

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>How many times has something like this happened for you?

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, this outside of punching my monitors a few times,

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 5>I think they replaced it like two or three times,

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 5>and then lighting my computer on fire, I those were

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 5>the only times. And then since then, after getting fired,

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, there was definitely some anger and resentment, and

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 5>there was like one other incident after that, you know,

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:13.959
<v Speaker 5>where I kind of punched a wall, but it was

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 5>nothing to the extent of like lighting something on fire.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 2>In your current state of mind and of being. Are

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you confident that something like this wouldn't happen again?

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 5>I would say yes, Okay, and I say that because

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 5>I have seriously considered reapplying.

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, look you yeah you probably yeah, you probably not could,

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you probably not could get that job back. I know, yeah,

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting there. I don't think you're getting that

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 2>job back. But that's okay, all right, hold on, it's not.

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not You're totally not getting that job back. But

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>that is in no way, shape or form an indication

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that your life is ruined forever. But you're totally not

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 2>getting that job back. Ok I know there's a whole

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 2>aspect of this that where you're like, you seem like

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 2>you're worried that everything is going to suck forever, and

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I do want to talk about that, but I just

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>still am so fixated on I guess why you did

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 2>this and if it's like and I'm not a real therapist,

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not a real therapist, but just as

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 2>a human being talking to you right now, I am

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 2>curious why you did this and if you're if it

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>would happen again, because I'm less concerned because the job thing, Yes,

0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>it's important. But I guess my concern is, are just

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 2>you as a human being stable? Do you feel stable?

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I feel extremely stable. I'm actually just starting to

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 5>now land on my feet a little bit. I after

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 5>getting fired from that job, I worked two other jobs,

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 5>pretty short stints, one at a hardware store and then

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 5>one at a hotel, both of which fired me after

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 5>a few weeks, one saying I wasn't a good fit

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 5>in the other one due to just some background issues.

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 5>And there's a lot of challenges in me getting a job,

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 5>so losing that good job has been a little difficult.

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 5>Now I'm a painter. I've been doing that for a

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 5>little over a month, and I actually really like it.

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 5>It's my first blue collar job i've i've had. It's

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 5>a really good physical exercise. Yeah, so it's starting to

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 5>land on my feet. But I would like to think

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 5>that I'm stable and you know, healthy. I meet with

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 5>my therapist once a week. I have been very much

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 5>enjoying your live streams because I get off right about

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 5>the time that you've been going live these past few days.

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Life is good, you know.

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're doing it good, good, good. I'm glad

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to hear that life is good. Were you fire? Were you?

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:30.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've talk about this if you don't want to,

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 2>but like, were you? Were you fired from those other

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>jobs because of something similar to the thing whatever was

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>that made you let your computer on fire? Or was

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>these kind of this is a different thing.

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 5>No, the one job I didn't pass the background, they

0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 5>let me work for two and a half weeks, you know,

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 5>running the front desk of the hotel. But once the

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 5>general manager came back from vacation, magically my background wasn't

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.680
<v Speaker 5>good enough, so they let me go. And then the

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 5>other job, I was just quoted as not a good

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 5>fit where I think it was just some of the

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 5>interpersonal you know, with the autism and mental health, because

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:12.719
<v Speaker 5>going from working from home for three years to an

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 5>in person job.

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now you're you're a painter. How long you've

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>been doing the paints.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>A little over a month?

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 6>Now?

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay? All right? So I mean let's talk about the uh,

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the dwelling you're feeling like you you I guess you've

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 2>expressed regret that you don't have this corporate job anymore.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>You feel? Is that what you're feeling?

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 5>It is?

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Tell me the more about this regret.

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 5>I regret getting fired and the actions I took, and

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 5>the fact that I that I'm not lying to you

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 5>and not really knowing definitely what caused me to act

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 5>the way I did. But yeah, it's sorry. Can you

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 5>it just the thought just left my mind. Can you

0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 5>repeat what you had asked me?

0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I just I just was just wanted you to

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.839
<v Speaker 2>go back to talking about like it's it seems as

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>though you're I guess kind of yeah, you're in a

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 2>yearning back for this job. But I but I think,

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:37.240
<v Speaker 2>uh sure, even if the job may have paid more money,

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 2>the bottom level to me and I don't know, to me,

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the bottom line is that you're telling me. When you

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:47.320
<v Speaker 2>talked just now about being a painter, you talked about

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:54.840
<v Speaker 2>it in higher regard than the job that you claim

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 2>you hated. Is that accurate?

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 5>It is accurate, But the only reason it was at

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 5>a bank. The previous job was at a bank, and

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 5>I guess part of me just didn't sit well, you know,

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:11.840
<v Speaker 5>even if I was just taking new applications and stuff,

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people just didn't really understand the financial terms,

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.280
<v Speaker 5>and it was kind of predatory, you know, and getting

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 5>people in debt. You know, and that's one of the

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 5>reasons I had started therapy and was really disliking that job,

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 5>is because, yeah, they paid really good money, but it

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:31.480
<v Speaker 5>was work from home. I was alone. I was more depressed.

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 5>But now but now it was you know, I got

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 5>fired and then had two jobs that I started and

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 5>got quit and lost all the stability as well. So

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 5>it's been kind of hard landing back on my feet.

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 5>But I've been doing really good with this painting job.

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 5>It's been about a month and a half.

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Now, are you enjoying the painting job more than the

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 2>bank thing?

0:35:58.560 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Not?

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 5>Really, It's more satisfying, like being able to see your work,

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:06.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, paint a wall and you can see it

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.759
<v Speaker 5>in front of you. But you know, I took an

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 5>eight dollars pay cut and I have a thirty minute

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 5>commute now where I had no commute before, and I

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 5>made a lot more money. But I think there's something

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 5>to be said, you know that.

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, but but before, First of all, I mean,

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 2>satisfaction is I would call I would call that a

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 2>form of enjoyments.

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Second of all, you I mean you really see, I

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 2>mean you hated that job so much that you lit

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:38.239
<v Speaker 2>your computer on fire. That's a sign that it was

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a sign that it wasn't a good fit for

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.760
<v Speaker 2>either party. You know what I'm saying?

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 5>Mm hmm.

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 2>So if I mean, I don't know do I'm just

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 2>from listening to you talk, it sounds like you are

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 2>doing better in this in this painting gig, even if

0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not as much money, honey, it sounds like you

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you hate it significantly less. Just from what you're telling me.

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you if you believe that or not.

0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 5>I do, and actually, you know, being that one, excuse me,

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 5>That's why I wanted to talk to you so bad,

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 5>because it's like I feel like I know these things

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.359
<v Speaker 5>in my head and I try to talk to them

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:25.399
<v Speaker 5>with my therapist. But yeah, like you are absolutely right,

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:33.800
<v Speaker 5>there's something to be said about job satisfaction and yeah

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:35.160
<v Speaker 5>I do feel.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Happy though, Okay, good, that's all that fucking matters? Dude.

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 2>That's actually no, I don't think that's all that matters,

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but it I'm probably I don't actually think that's all

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>that matters, but I'm probably wrong. Did that make any sense?

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I just expressed how I feel about life exactly perfectly correct,

0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 2>which is uh. I don't think that happiness is all

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 2>that matters. But simultaneously I think I'm wrong.

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:08.880
<v Speaker 5>I think you're right. Sorry, that's I'm parked. I am parked.

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.320
<v Speaker 5>That's somebody next to me. I'm still in the parking

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:11.919
<v Speaker 5>lot at work.

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 2>But so let me so so so here, let me

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 2>let me just say this. First of all, I'm glad

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 2>you're happier. That's a good sign. Uh, that's probably all

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>that matters.

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 6>And uh, just if I could, I don't, if anything,

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 6>just the worst thing I think you could do in

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 6>this situation is to like dwell you know what I mean.

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 2>That's just never helped. And I think, look at there's

0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:45.359
<v Speaker 2>a different there's a difference, right, and it's maybe it's

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:49.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a bell curve of like dwelling versus

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, Hey, that didn't work out, probably because of

0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:57.320
<v Speaker 2>these reasons. Let me use that to inform the future

0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.359
<v Speaker 2>so that I may not make the same mistakes again.

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's health, it's positive versus Oh, I'm such

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a fucking idiot and I shouldn't have done that and

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 2>now everything's ruined and blah blah blah blah blah. That's

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 2>not helpful at all. You know, so if that is

0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.360
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing. But I say this to someone who

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>does that with a lot of things, and it's and

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:23.799
<v Speaker 2>I said that as somebody who's done that with a

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of things in his life and it ain't helped

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 2>me a single bit. The dwelling it's a it's a

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 2>giant a highway to fucking nowhere. So if you feel

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 2>like there's things to learn from by an analyzing why

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you might have let your computer on fire, then learn

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 2>from them and apply them to the future. But if

0:39:52.120 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you're just doing it to feel shitty about yourself and

0:39:56.239 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 2>to adopt an unhelpful narrative into your brain that you

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 2>suck and your life's gonna suck forever, I would recommend

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:08.880
<v Speaker 2>attempting not to do that, because again I've done that,

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:11.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's a it's a real pathway to nowhere.

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Does that all make sense?

0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:19.320
<v Speaker 5>It does? And I really I can absolutely appreciate and share,

0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 5>you know what, in what you're sharing, because that is

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.839
<v Speaker 5>kind of how life works. And I've actually, you know,

0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:30.839
<v Speaker 5>I've been working on shifting my perspective. If one thing

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 5>has taught me getting fired from these two other jobs

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 5>is you know, it's helped me with my social skills

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:42.440
<v Speaker 5>and want to improve and from there. You know, now,

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 5>even with the painting gig, they kind of know I'm

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.279
<v Speaker 5>not going to leave because I've been here months and

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 5>a half. You know, I'm not a new person that

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 5>started for a week and left. So they're actually starting

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 5>to teach me some stuff. So I'm actually starting to learn.

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I like the fact that, you know,

0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 5>I won't be automated AI with paint thing and stuff

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 5>like that, So I do I share your per No,

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:04.800
<v Speaker 5>They'll they'll.

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:06.560
<v Speaker 2>No, they'll they'll they'll they'll find a way to do that.

0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:10.879
<v Speaker 2>They'll make like a robot paint brush guy, and they'll

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:12.840
<v Speaker 2>give him like a face and whiskers and make it

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 2>cute and call him Adam the cat paintbrush or something.

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 2>You'll know, we're all gonna be We're all fucked, but uh,

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, we can enjoy the time we have until then.

0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:23.759
<v Speaker 2>What's your name? Against sir?

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:25.760
<v Speaker 5>Name is Alex.

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Your name is Alex. I'm I was about to say,

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not worried about you. I'm I'm ninety percent not

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:40.800
<v Speaker 2>worried about you. I think you'll be okay.

0:41:42.800 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, hey, I appreciate that, I really do, and.

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 4>And if if it, if it, by the way, if

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 4>it helps you, and at all, I think that I

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:57.760
<v Speaker 4>don't think lighting your computer on fire is a good idea,

0:41:58.360 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 4>But I.

0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Can image, I understand why you did it. From the

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:11.480
<v Speaker 2>perspective of I can imagine that doing that probably feels amazing.

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine like your boss is saying something annoying

0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:18.880
<v Speaker 2>to you on Slack, or you get an email that

0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 2>pisss you off, and you just light your computer on fire.

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 2>That would be fucking awesome. I get. I get why

0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying. I get why. I don't get like

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 2>the mechanisms of what is going on in your brain

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 2>that causes you to do that, I don't really understand. Maybe,

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:37.279
<v Speaker 2>but just from the point of view of I mean,

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 2>who doesn't want to light their fucking work computer on fire?

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Point of view of of course, yeah, of course that

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 2>sounds awesome. That sounds fantastic, ultimate power move.

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:47.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I.

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't do it again, but or anything like that again, Yeah,

0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:54.799
<v Speaker 2>I understand why you get that. I've always I've had

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 2>plenty of times where I wanted to just take my

0:42:57.120 --> 0:43:01.360
<v Speaker 2>computer and smash it on the fucking ground. Uh, but

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you know you can't. You can't do that, Alex. Is

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:05.239
<v Speaker 2>there anyth else you gonna say to the people of

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the computer before we go?

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:10.480
<v Speaker 5>I guess I would say, you know, I learned a

0:43:10.560 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 5>valuable life lesson from this. I'm so happy I was

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 5>able to get on your show, Lyle. You're amazing. I

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 5>hope everybody has a great day.

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey, take care, Alex.

0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:20.399
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Wow.

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean you guys, you've seen Office Space, right, It's

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.800
<v Speaker 2>like that scene where they smash the pro printer or

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the fax machine or whatever it is. I get why

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the guy did it. The guy I just know. I mean,

0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't get why the guy. I don't know that.

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 2>That's not what I meant. I don't understand specifically in

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 2>this specific situation why this man lit his computer on fire.

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 2>But I understand in a general sense why someone would

0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:52.360
<v Speaker 2>because it seems like it'ld be really fun. But I

0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:56.920
<v Speaker 2>don't endorse it. Maybe I don't know. Maybe I endorse it.

0:43:56.960 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't. I'm dorse the idea that

0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 2>it sounds fun. I'm gonna go do it right now.

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:06.200

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to see you in Atlanta in like a

0:44:24.160 --> 0:44:24.719
<v Speaker 1>week or two.

0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh cool, cool, very cool, very cool. Yes, I am playing.

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna plug real quick. I am playing The Earl

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 2>in Atlanta on September twenty eighth. The early show was

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:40.960
<v Speaker 2>sold out. The late show. There's some tickets left. Are

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:42.279
<v Speaker 2>you going to the early one or the late one?

0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>The late one?

0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Cool, I'm very excited. I like that venue a lot.

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Shout out. The Earl had a great time last year.

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have a good time this year.

0:44:57.120 --> 0:45:06.799
<v Speaker 1>U well, I texted you as well, but I called

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:10.680
<v Speaker 1>him this time. I I like to explore abandoned buildings.

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>That's like something I do pretty often.

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:17.719
<v Speaker 2>You like to explore abandoned buildings. Well, hopefully when you

0:45:17.760 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 2>come to the Earl, it won't be abandoned. That was

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:24.080
<v Speaker 2>that was that was That was a joke I was

0:45:24.080 --> 0:45:28.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to make about people, like if people don't come, sorry,

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 2>what kind of abandoned? Like you? You? Oh, there's a

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 2>word for this urban urban exploration. Yes, urbax urban exploration

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:43.360
<v Speaker 2>where I'm so, uh, do you have asbestos? That's my

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 2>first question.

0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope not. But there's a lot of abandoned buildings

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>where I'm from. I've been to some schools. I've been

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to a peanut butter factory, which is like definitely my

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:56.279
<v Speaker 1>favorite one I've been to.

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Tell me about the peanut butter factory.

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this place was. This is probably the

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:07.200
<v Speaker 1>largest building I've ever been in before that was abandoned

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and they had all the systems of distribution there. They

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 1>had the packaging center, they had the offices, they had

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:17.359
<v Speaker 1>where they made the peanut butter, they had the storage.

0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 1>The place we walked into was initially the where they

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 1>make the peanut butter and had these giant vats that

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 1>we crawled on top of and we able to look

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.480
<v Speaker 1>into and they were all empty because the place was abandoned.

0:46:30.239 --> 0:46:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But it was really cool. I know a lot of

0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:36.200
<v Speaker 1>people go there to steal like metal piping and stuff,

0:46:36.239 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but I me and my friends never did that. We

0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 1>all we just went there for fun and to take

0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:43.560
<v Speaker 1>photos because one of my friends, the photographer.

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh where okay, I don't know. If you're breaking a code,

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you probably would be well, where is this peanut butter factory?

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't live there anymore, but it's in upstate New York.

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Now what Normally when I see like urban exploration stuff,

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:13.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like I see a lot of like malls and

0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 2>movie theaters and stuff like that. How do you even

0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:19.680
<v Speaker 2>how do you even find out about these places?

0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:20.279
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Because you can't just they're not just around, right. You

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:26.879
<v Speaker 2>gotta kind of know where you're what you're looking for.

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's like two different ways. We found a lot

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:34.759
<v Speaker 1>of ours just by living in a shitty town where

0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of stuff was just run down. So

0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:39.279
<v Speaker 1>we found this like really old school from like the

0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifties just by driving by it one day and

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:43.800
<v Speaker 1>we were like, oh, I think there's like a building

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:46.759
<v Speaker 1>behind them, like that tree line, and then we like

0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>parked our care we explored and we found like a

0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 1>little school there. But the other way people do it

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>is like Google Maps. They go on Google Maps and

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 1>they look for the tops of like destroyed houses. That's

0:47:57.440 --> 0:47:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the other way of doing it. We found a factor

0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:02.799
<v Speaker 1>that way, a textile mill doing it that way.

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. I actually used to do a lot of

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 2>this in high school. That was like kind of our

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:11.840
<v Speaker 2>favorite thing to do in high school was to do uh.

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know it was called urbex until later,

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.960
<v Speaker 2>but uh yeah. We'd go into the woods and like

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 2>find weird abandoned places. And there was this like abandoned

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.560
<v Speaker 2>mansion that my friends and I would just go into

0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:29.160
<v Speaker 2>to smoke weed all the time. There was so much

0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:35.520
<v Speaker 2>fun doing that. Yeah, I guess my. But looking back

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:39.680
<v Speaker 2>on it, though, is not to like be your fucking

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.840
<v Speaker 2>mom or whatever, but it is dangerous. It is dangerous.

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 2>You could step in one direction and you fall through

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.080
<v Speaker 2>three floors and fucking just die, you know. I mean,

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:53.560
<v Speaker 2>it is a dangerous thing to do. I'll be walking

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:56.480
<v Speaker 2>around like like I don't know if you ever walked

0:48:56.480 --> 0:49:00.799
<v Speaker 2>into a non abandoned building, but when you do that,

0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:05.400
<v Speaker 2>it's like there's all these people that were hired specifically

0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that when you walk around this building

0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't die. And when a building is abandoned, all

0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:16.120
<v Speaker 2>those people whose jobs is to make sure that the

0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:19.799
<v Speaker 2>people in this building don't randomly die, they don't do

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 2>they're not doing that, So you're you're you're going in

0:49:23.719 --> 0:49:27.080
<v Speaker 2>very raw to these buildings, So I guess I don't

0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't recommend urbex necessarily on that, on that notion,

0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:37.400
<v Speaker 2>just because you might like get fucked up, right, I mean,

0:49:37.440 --> 0:49:39.239
<v Speaker 2>have you encountered a lot of danger doing this?

0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Honestly? I think the thing I'm scared of most is

0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 1>just like finding like homeless people or something there. But

0:49:48.320 --> 0:49:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I've only ever encountered that where I live now, not

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in Upstate New York, where I used to do it

0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I only explored one abandoned building down here

0:49:57.960 --> 0:50:00.680
<v Speaker 1>where I live now, and that's where I encountered a

0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>homeless person. Then I decided I don't want to do

0:50:02.880 --> 0:50:03.799
<v Speaker 1>that anymore down here.

0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, at that point, they're more of a squatter.

0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, there's just a lot of homeless people where

0:50:12.320 --> 0:50:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I live, and they're all really scary.

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Why was it particularly scared? Why was it particularly scary

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:20.360
<v Speaker 2>this homeless person that you encountered?

0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:27.279
<v Speaker 1>So this is my first time. It was like my

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:30.640
<v Speaker 1>first week when I moved here, and across from my

0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:34.760
<v Speaker 1>apartment complex where I was staying for college, I saw

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:37.960
<v Speaker 1>an abandoned I want to say, it was like an

0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:42.800
<v Speaker 1>abandoned senior center. Which is already a very creepy place

0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 1>to exist and be abandoned. But I went there with

0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:51.319
<v Speaker 1>me and my friend I had just met, and we

0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:56.040
<v Speaker 1>both brought girls there. And we're going through one of

0:50:56.080 --> 0:51:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the side doors and we hear like scratching and all

0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like freaking out, and we don't know what exactly is

0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:06.920
<v Speaker 1>going on, and I just assume it's like a raccoon

0:51:07.000 --> 0:51:08.680
<v Speaker 1>or something, because I've done this a lot, and it's

0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 1>always just like a raccoon or something. And there's like

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 1>this creepy pinball machine or not a pinball, I'm sorry,

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>a slot machine in this like dark room, and I

0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:25.359
<v Speaker 1>see like a person's head peek out from beside it,

0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, ah, we gotta get the fuck out

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of here. So then we like run across the street

0:51:30.080 --> 0:51:31.240
<v Speaker 1>back to the apartment complex.

0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sorry to hear. I'm sorry to hear that

0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:39.680
<v Speaker 2>that man's misery and plights in life have prevented you

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:41.959
<v Speaker 2>from getting laid. That's really, that's really tough.

0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:48.360
<v Speaker 1>It is unfortunate. I feel like I was kind of

0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:50.719
<v Speaker 1>invading his home, to be honest, So I feel bad,

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bad looking back on it now.

0:51:52.560 --> 0:51:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Well a little bit. I mean, yeah, that would make

0:51:54.040 --> 0:51:57.560
<v Speaker 2>me feel bad too if it was like, uh, you know,

0:51:57.640 --> 0:52:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean this guy is using this band in place

0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:03.960
<v Speaker 2>for shelter, like that's all he has, and you go

0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:08.080
<v Speaker 2>in there like, well there, I guess that. Yeah, there's

0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:09.920
<v Speaker 2>something kind of I guess sucked up where it's like,

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, this person is using this this is all

0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:13.920
<v Speaker 2>they have, and you're just like, oh, this is a

0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:16.560
<v Speaker 2>hobby to me to explore places like this.

0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. It's almost like demeaning to them. So I

0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:22.960
<v Speaker 1>feel a little bit bad about that.

0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you have other hobbies? But do you you know,

0:52:26.360 --> 0:52:30.480
<v Speaker 2>do you play checkers? What do you do besides this?

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.600
<v Speaker 1>My hobbies include pretty much just going to the gym,

0:52:36.040 --> 0:52:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and I go to college and work full time. Now

0:52:40.280 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that's why I have I pretty much no time to

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:44.400
<v Speaker 1>do anything but go to the gym and go to

0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:50.239
<v Speaker 1>work and do my school work. How old are you,

0:52:51.560 --> 0:52:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty one?

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, What are you hoping to continue urban explorating

0:52:57.600 --> 0:53:02.759
<v Speaker 2>until in in your later years of life?

0:53:03.120 --> 0:53:06.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I think I'm settled down now. I'm engaged, and

0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I really don't think I have any more need for that.

0:53:10.840 --> 0:53:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Yay, Jesus fucking Christ, who'd you get engaged to?

0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh? My my manager. I used to work at Starbucks

0:53:18.520 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and I got engaged to my manager there I have. Wow.

0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's cool. I guess that's cool. Are you How

0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:26.319
<v Speaker 2>old is she?

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Twenty nine?

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay? All right? How long you guys been dating.

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.480
<v Speaker 1>About? We just hit our two year.

0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Mark now, okay?

0:53:43.040 --> 0:53:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Any other two years?

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 2>It's cool. Love triumphs overall. Yeah, maybe maybe you could have.

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you could have your wedding in an abandoned building

0:53:56.600 --> 0:54:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and everyone can get asbestos, get hurt, and then ever

0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and then ever and then here's here's what you do.

0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:06.680
<v Speaker 2>You get everyone in a building and you have your

0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:11.400
<v Speaker 2>wedding there, and everyone gets ausbestos and gets hurt, and

0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:15.279
<v Speaker 2>then as a wedding gift, they can, I guess, give

0:54:15.360 --> 0:54:20.080
<v Speaker 2>you the money that they would win in in the

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:22.120
<v Speaker 2>in the lawsuit against the developer.

0:54:22.280 --> 0:54:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that'd be a good con. Could I could get

0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:26.360
<v Speaker 1>behind that?

0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Well, I think you'll be You'll probably you will

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:32.759
<v Speaker 2>probably be all right. Do you think you won't be

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 2>all right?

0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Or do you? Are?

0:54:33.520 --> 0:54:35.840
<v Speaker 2>You pretty camp? You seem confident that you're gonna be okay,

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:37.720
<v Speaker 2>And that makes me confident that you're gonna be okay.

0:54:39.440 --> 0:54:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I always think that my life can't get any worse

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:46.080
<v Speaker 1>than it is right now, which I know is not true.

0:54:46.120 --> 0:54:49.920
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like, at the bare minimum, I'm okay

0:54:49.960 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at right now, and I feel like I

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:57.040
<v Speaker 1>can sustain where I'm at right now. So that's that's

0:54:57.040 --> 0:54:59.200
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. I feel like if I can sustain

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:00.400
<v Speaker 1>how I am, i'll be okay.

0:55:02.080 --> 0:55:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I like that. I like that. Yes, some people are

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:10.279
<v Speaker 2>some people are on a never ending quest to do

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:14.719
<v Speaker 2>as amazingly as they possibly can. But I don't know

0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 2>how realistic that is. I think if you're I think

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:21.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're just like, look, I'm fine, And if I

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:26.799
<v Speaker 2>can keep being fine and definitely, then that's pretty good.

0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to be fucking you know, Steve Jobs

0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:33.279
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. I don't know what that means, but you

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:33.799
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean.

0:55:35.040 --> 0:55:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if you find happiness in making progress,

0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a sustainable way to live, because

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you'll always be getting happier, but not because of you're

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:49.200
<v Speaker 1>achieving a new goal, but just because you enjoy progressing.

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's a good way to try to

0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:52.200
<v Speaker 1>live life.

0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you'll be fine. Nothing I don't think anything.

0:55:58.080 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think, well, how long does asbestos take to incubate?

0:56:06.120 --> 0:56:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I know by now.

0:56:07.920 --> 0:56:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you would too, but I don't know. No, no, okay, well,

0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:20.359
<v Speaker 2>is there any other aspect of this that you wanted

0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about before we go?

0:56:23.160 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 1>No? I think we can cut it off here, gek.

0:56:25.560 --> 0:56:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good luck. I don't I don't know why. I'm

0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:32.120
<v Speaker 2>worried about you again a little bit.

0:56:34.160 --> 0:56:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like everyone's a little bit not worried and

0:56:36.560 --> 0:56:37.959
<v Speaker 1>worried about me at the same time.

0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, uh, I'm debating, but I mean you're you'll you'll

0:56:43.440 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 2>be fine. Just it's like, just don't I just don't

0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:49.160
<v Speaker 2>die and you'll be Okay. Don't go into any more

0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:51.960
<v Speaker 2>of those buildings because you're gonna you're gonna step on

0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:55.239
<v Speaker 2>a tile and it's gonna send you underwater or some

0:56:55.440 --> 0:57:01.040
<v Speaker 2>crazy shit like that. Just don't don't do that. If

0:57:01.040 --> 0:57:03.640
<v Speaker 2>anyone's listening to this and they're like and they go

0:57:03.680 --> 0:57:05.319
<v Speaker 2>on TikTok and they're like, oh, it'd be cool to

0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:10.560
<v Speaker 2>go into this abandoned chuck e cheese, You're gonna find

0:57:10.600 --> 0:57:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a dead guy in there, and it's not gonna be

0:57:12.600 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 2>fun and you just don't don't do it, don't go

0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 2>in there. I I it's my official stance.

0:57:19.080 --> 0:57:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's definally. My worst fear is just finding a
