But but yeah, are do you 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.440 You're not a stripper? Are you? Or are you just 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:03.840 a fan? 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:09.960 No? No?

It's been like three years since 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:42.239 I've texted you that I was having like a family 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.800 reunion at Comic Con in Portland.

And my sister and I ended up having 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.839 a huge fight comic Con, and it was really embarrassing, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:10.080 like like yelling, like Spider Man was like staring at us, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.719 Like it was just so bad.

And so I went there 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.680 and met like immediately met this dude shout out Matt 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:50.000 in Portland the Luther, who I don't have his number anymore, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.560 and I hope he's well. But anyway, sat down, start 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.960 chatting to this dude. He his family was driving him crazy, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.600 My family was driving me crazy, and we ended up 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.000 having just like the most old, the epic night and 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.799 like just talking to strippers and just talking to random 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.520 people in there, and yeah, I just love you know, 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.160 I just love strip clubs because people just like they 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.960 go there for a reason and they just chill the 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.160 fuck out, you know, and I like I like to 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.880 like talk to people and learn about them and just 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.400 you know, raz you know, uh. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.960 Did you did you meet any particularly interesting people, whether 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.239 strippers or clients that you remember? 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:32.080 Oh? Well, Matt, Matt the Luther. He really stuck out 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.760 to me because he was like, you know, do you 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:39.000 ever like meet wild do you ever like meet someone 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.600 and you're like instantly, like, man, we could be friends, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.400 or like we really vibe or like the connection. There's 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.320 just like really good and the conversation flows and it's 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.200 just like easy. It was like that, you know, it 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.720 was like, yeah, it was like it was it was 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.760 great to meet him. Uh. We talked to a lot 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.400 of the strippers that were working there, and they were wonderful, 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.560 like great people. But yeah, you know, I think like 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.320 that was a great experience. There's also there was a 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.560 strip club in a place called can I in Alaska, 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:21.120 which is like it's like a really small town and 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:27.240 probably shouldn't have a strip club. And you know, this 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.880 is like years ago, but my friend's husband actually passed 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.199 away and we ended up going to the strip club. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.880 I don't know why. It was grief is strange. We 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.679 ended up going there and I had like the most philosophical, 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.760 like crazy conversation with like a like an eighty year 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.000 old dentist. There there was like a pregnant lady dancing 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.600 and I was like just sitting there drinking while my 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.080 other friends were drinking, and this guy was sitting next 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.240 to me and we started talking about like death and 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:02.280 what that means, and it was just like so ridiculous, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.160 and yeah. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.040 What did you what did you learn about what death means? 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.080 That's one of your I'm looking through the things that 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.959 you texted me, and I would love to try to 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.880 I would love to chat about death and what that 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.280 means is on there. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.400 Yeah, I can't even remember like when I texted you 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.640 that that must have been recent. Gosh, I don't know. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.640 You know, death is so crazy. I used to work 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.400 in the medical field for a very very long time, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.959 and I've actually had like people pass away like on 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:44.719 my care or like I've seen people pass away. My 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.839 mom passed away when I was twenty seven, and I've 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:52.360 had various friends pass away and stuff. And I think 0:09:52.360 --> 0:10:01.079 it's so much more like maybe less personal than we think. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.160 You know, a lot of people like. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:04.679 It. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.600 Kind of like of course death is you know, death 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.560 of a loved one is devastating. I'm not trying to 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.440 downplay that, but uh, you know, I work in like 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.920 biology now, and like I just feel like death is 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.640 just so part of like the natural process. It's just 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.679 like society art in our culture specifically like has it. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.560 We don't like know how to process or handle that. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.640 Well, what do you mean our when you say our 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.719 culture specifically, do you mean like Americans? 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.040 Yeah, yeah, I mean I know you consider Alaskan Americans. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.600 Well, okay, well to that okay, well to that point 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.599 where what what cultures do you think do have a 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:49.400 better perspective? 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.920 You know, that's a great question, you know. I think, uh, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:02.880 like the Philippine uh culture, like the Filatino culture. I 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.400 think that like my friend, she's Filipinos. She was saying 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.760 that they like spend time with the body and like, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.440 and I could be totally wrong. I could be totally wrong. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.480 This could just be her family. I'm not sure, but 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.240 I know for a fact that there's like other cultures 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.440 there in the world that like they spend time with 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.120 the body. There's like you know, they'll have a body 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.719 in the house for a long time, and visitors and 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.640 like family can come and like spend time with you know, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.800 the deceased family member or loved one and there. I mean, 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.240 I think all over the world they probably like handle 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.800 death very differently. I think, like at least from what 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.320 I've experienced, and just like in the medical field and 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.719 just kind of like in general, uh, it's it's very 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.640 much like hands off here, right, Like usually like somebody 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.800 dies and then it's like they're kind of lists away 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.680 and either put like in the ground or like cremated. 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.120 I mean, and I guess it depends on like the 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.000 family member and what they want. But have you ever 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.040 thought about what you want when you die. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.480 I don't think I want the box. The box seems 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.199 weird to me. Yeah, I'm thinking more. I'm thinking more ashes, 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:24.080 you know, or I'll give my body the science. I 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.600 don't really care. I don't really have a preference, do you. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.000 Oh yeah, I definitely want to be like cremated. But 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.080 you know what, I just found out you can be composted. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.120 Did you fucking know that? Like that? 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.240 I did not know that. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.840 Yeah, you can be put well I guess it's a box. Well, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.680 but you could be put in a box and then composted, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.600 and then I guess your family members can like put 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:57.000 you in a garden or something. So that's kind of interesting. Uh, 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.600 But yeah, like it just seems weird to be put 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.720 in like a graveyard and just kind of like put 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.800 a plaque on you and then like you just kind 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.400 of sit there and I don't know, decomposed. I mean, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.280 I guess it's it would be nice to go back 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.000 to the earth, but I don't know. And then like 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.360 people do weird things with ashes, right, They like put 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.320 them in a box and then they never they just 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.880 like you just stay in like a jar for the 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:29.760 rest of your bone ashy life. I don't know, yeah, 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.000 I mean I would want to be released. Hmmm, Like 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.560 that would be weird to be in like a little jar, right. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.720 M I h I don't know. I feel like, uh, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.720 I just don't care at all, Like it doesn't like 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.640 I'm not there anymore. I can't. I don't have an experience. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.360 I guess, like the people around me, right, like if 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.240 I like, like if I have a kid, like if 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.280 they're like if they're like, oh, I don't want to 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.560 see them in a in a weird whatever goodever my 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.960 my family. I don't even want to burden my fan. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:08.000 Whatever is the least expensive, truthfully, whatever whatever, that's what 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.560 I would do, Yes, I think whatever the least expensive 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.240 option is, whatever the government is willing to pay for 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.760 to get rid of the dead people that are in 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.120 the place, That's what I'll do. Yeah, the funeral would 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.520 be nice. I'd like a funeral, you know. I mean, yeah, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.280 funeral will be cool. I mean I'm saying it's like 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.080 like i'd like a funeral. I don't get to have 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.080 a funeral, Like I'm not there, you know, it's it's 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.240 not like a wedding, you know, I don't look at 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.480 it as mine. It's for other people. If if enough 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.160 people like me that they want to put together the funeral, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:49.640 then they can do that. But I think that uh, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:56.720 I think that that that's there are people who put 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.480 to get put on their own funerals. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:14:59.040 Yeah. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.640 If I'm like seventy years so that I would probably 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.120 putting on my own funeral. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:09.880 What would you be in your get costume in Okay? 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:09.520 Oh? 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.600 Absolutely not. I mean, you know what, you know what? 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.400 You know what? I don't know. I hope. I have 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.160 no fucking idea what will be of the gecko by 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.400 the time I die? But uh, throw a glove in there. 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:24.240 You know. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.080 I don't want to be in the I don't I 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.880 don't want my I don't want I don't want to. Yeah, no, 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.640 it's uh. I actually I have this weird thing where 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:39.040 like I don't like if, Okay, in my real life, uh, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:43.440 if somebody, if somebody I know in real life calls 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:49.520 me gek, I really don't like that. But the opposite, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.520 I don't mind the opposite. I don't like if somebody 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.440 who I've never met before that just listens to the podcast. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.240 If I meet them and they call me Lyle, I 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.000 don't mind that at all. I I I find that. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.000 I think it's nice. Actually, well, I mean if they 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.120 if somebody I've never met, if I'm wearing the Gecko costume. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.960 If I'm wearing the Gecko costume and somebody I've never 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.640 met calls me Gek, I also find that nice. I like, 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.120 I like Gek. But if like I'm just like hanging 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.560 out with my homie and I'm and we're just like 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.480 together and like and he calls me Gek, I'm like, 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.000 why you call me Ghek? If I'm wearing the costume, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.040 it's different, you know. But like if I'm wearing the 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.080 If I'm wearing the costume and some random person comes 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.600 up to me, it's like Yo, Lyle, I'd be like, Yo, 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:30.080 what's up? 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.160 But like your friends calling is offensive?
