Speaker 3: I'm excited.

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: Let's go, and Op continues. I'm a magician's assistant. I've

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: worked with the same popular magician for three years and

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: he has two other assistants, also college students who have

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: worked for him for four plus years. This job is

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: great for me as I only really have to work

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: on the weekends and the pay is phenomenal. Issues the magician,

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: he is a wealthy, older man who likes to throw

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: his money around. Says selling an issue.

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: I wish I had that problem.

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just tossing it in the crowd. He is

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: in his late sixties before I started dating my boyfriend,

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: he would often take me and the other assistance out

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: to shop for new costumes. He would often end up

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: spending a lot more on us, though, buying anything we

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: looked at twice on a whim, expensive clothes, perfume, etc.

49
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: He has never made any suggestive moves on me or

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: the other girls. He is never even flirtatious, besides the

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: occasional comments that we look pretty. I have asked him

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: before why he buys us so much, and he just

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: says because he knows college students are always broke, we

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: work hard, and that he asked to keep his assistance

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: happy because we know all his secrets. That seems pretty.

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: It seems pretty, Yeah, but I don't know. I'm feeling

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: a little strange about it.

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can. I can see maybe the boyfriend's

59
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: thought process of this kind of looks like a sugar.

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: It looks bad.

61
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: It looks on the surface. Yeah, but OP doesn't seem

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable, and that's you know, Yeah, she would

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: know best. When I started dating my boyfriend, he was

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: understandably uncomfortable with this. I spoke with the man I

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: worked for and told him that while I was very appreciative.

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: I couldn't accept his gifts any longer. Now he still

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: buys me clothes for the show, but that's it. No

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: more shoppings freeze for me. And despite me stopping this,

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: my boyfriend still has issues with him. He has met

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: him countless times, and the magician is always super nice

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: to my boyfriend, even paying for dinner for all of us,

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: showing him tricks, et cetera. My boyfriend can never give

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: me an exact reason as to why this guy bothers

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: him so much, besides the excessive gifts, but he is

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: still unsatisfied since that has stopped. So that's the first grievance.

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: And there's more other one.

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: There's more provances. But like you, what are your thoughts?

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Do you have a magician's assistant?

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: Well, not in that sense because my show doesn't require someone,

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: but there is a Jamie. She is my girlfriend and

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: she does the behind the scenes things. I do buy

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: her nice things and we go up to well that's.

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like there's extenuated circumstances.

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it does seem funny. But I mean he's

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: kind of in that circle where he knows the guy,

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: and yeah, it might be his own problem. I guess

87
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: I would.

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: Say at that point because Op's already set the boundary

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: of no gifts, which I think good on Uop. But

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: after that, I feel like this is her job. It is,

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: and it's a performance job, so it might be him.

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what it sounds like.

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: But there are more grievances. Oh no, the performances. My

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: boyfriend feels like I am objectified during stage performances. Well,

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: the point of a magician assistant is to be a

96
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: living prop. The weird thing is I feel like I'm

97
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: less objectified than other magic assistants. My costume is a

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: cocktail dress most of the time, nothing overly revealing, and

99
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: the magician always refers to me by name. He occasionally

100
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: comments on my looks during performances. But I've always felt

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: like that was just the nature of the performance industry. Sure, yeah,

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: the secret. So that's that's the second wow, which I

103
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: can see, you know, like I don't know too to him,

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 2: you would know more about the experience.

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: It seems professional. Yeah so far, I mean, yeah, nothing

106
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: out of the ordinary.

107
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: I also feel like that's kind of Ope's you know,

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: that would be her job to bring up, say I

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: don't feel comfortable.

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it seems to be just on stage where

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: he's making these comments. But outside the stage with the

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: first grievance, it seems fine.

113
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel like the boyfriend can't be like, well,

114
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: he's objectifying you if OP doesn't feel like that.

115
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like his problem too.

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Still still on the boyfriend. Yeah, the secrets. This

117
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: is the most frustrating one. My boyfriend feels like I

118
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: am key being secrets because I can't tell him how

119
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: any of the tricks are done.

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: Oh that's the third strike strike what you tell me.

121
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: He's just mad he can't do it. He doesn't actually

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: care about any of the other things.

123
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: He's just like I want it's excuses. It's excuses. Stop

124
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: making excuses, Bro.

125
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: I am sorry, but I am bound by contract that

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: I can't reveal anything, no matter the relation. Anyone who

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: knows anything about magic knows how sacred a magician's secrets are.

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: But he feels like I am keeping secrets just to

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: keep them. Also, since he doesn't know the secrets, he

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: always jumps to the worst conclusions about how they're done,

131
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: always involving someone seeing me unclothed, touching me inappropriately.

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: WHOA, I don't know any of these magic tricks? Yeah

133
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: at all.

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: I mean I don't really have to. I feel like

135
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: we don't even have to know what the magic tricks

136
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: are to know that.

137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: I think he's being unreasonable.

138
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: Watching the guy do like a card trick and he's like,

139
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: you're probably get naked for that.

140
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: I don't know that one. Yeah, I don't know that one.

141
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: Nor I don't think my girlfriend would know that one.

142
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: You know, I'm kind of at the end of my rope.

143
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: I really don't want to have to pick between my

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: boyfriend and my job. Does anyone have any advice or

145
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: a different perspective on how to approach this? And there

146
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: are some relevant comments, but before we get into it,

147
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: do you have any relevant comments of your own?

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's all him. Yeah, it's just he's

149
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: just feeling a certain way and it's just personal to him.

150
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: But I mean, I'm sure they had the conversation already, like, Hey,

151
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: this is the way you just have to trust unless

152
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: you know the opde gave him a reason not to

153
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: trust exactly her in the past. Yeah, it doesn't seem

154
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 3: like that's the issue.

155
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: It seems like she even met him, you know where

156
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: he was at in terms of like setting the boundary

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: before as we talked about and after that, I feel

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: like this is her job.

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: Did she mention that, did she do this before they

160
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: met that? I don't know if that was in the

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: original post.

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: The Magicians, Yes, I don't know. It hasn't said. I

163
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: think she was. She said she's been doing it for

164
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: four years quite a while, Okay, or maybe that was

165
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: just the other magician.

166
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Well if that's the case where they you know, he

167
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: knew prior to that, I mean, yeah, that's part of

168
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: the more so.

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because your girlfriend know all of.

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: She does because she actually sets up my show a lot,

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: so she knows, but she still enjoys it.

172
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, and maybe that's why we're still together because

174
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: she knows the secret. Yes.

175
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: Also, I can confirm she has been working for the

176
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: Magician for three years and they've only been dating a year.

177
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: That's even more ridiculous. He's like, I just need to know.

178
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he just needs to stop or read

179
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: a book or something.

180
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe he needs to start learning magic maybe. Yeah.

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

182
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Kelly Anne says quitting for him would be a huge mistake.

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: Not to mention a dangerous precedent to set. He is jealous.

184
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: Even if your boss is not giving you things anymore,

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: boyfriend knows he can and perhaps feels bad that he

186
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: can't give you things that boss can. You really need

187
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: to tell your boyfriend that this is your job, nothing more,

188
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: and he needs to get over it.

189
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: That's a good perspective.

190
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 2: I agree as far as objectifying you in the performance.

191
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: It's a show for God's sake, and if you're uncomfortable

192
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: about anything, assure him you will tell your boss keeping

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: secrets because you can't tell him about the tricks. That's

194
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: no different than the contract I signed as a social

195
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: worker not to reveal things about the family I worked

196
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: for or when I worked in a medical research lab.

197
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: It's work stuff period.

198
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 4: Yeah.

199
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: I mean, like if you're a therapist or a lawyer,

200
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: you can't talk about.

201
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: There's like an NDA type yeah deal. Yeah No.

202
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: If he's assuming you keep other secrets, he has serious

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 2: trust issues that could become really tough to live with.

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: Good luck and oh P responds, I guess I should

205
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: have mentioned that my boyfriend comes from an extremely wealthy family.

206
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean his parents live in a mansion, have servants,

207
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: own multiple planes, multiple planes.

208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: That's a lot. They're wealthy even one plane.

209
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, plans are expensive. Yeah, he's in grad school and

210
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: has never had a financial trouble in his life. He

211
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: definitely does not shower me in gifts or anything, though

212
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: he usually insists on paying for dinner and stuff like that.

213
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: But otherwise our relationship is fairly balanced financially. I'm from

214
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: an average middle class family. I have a scholarship for college,

215
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: and any money I make goes to school stuff first

216
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: and foremost. I don't know if that makes any difference

217
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: for the way he's acting. Wrath of Acquirer says, the

218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: magician you work for actually sounds nothing short are respectable.

219
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: As he stopped doing what made your boyfriend uncomfortable. It

220
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: sounds like your boyfriend just needs to relax now. Is

221
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: he afraid some sixty year old is going to steal

222
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: a woman? Jesus and a deleted commenter says, your boyfriend

223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: sounds like a huge wiener. He's angry you won't tell

224
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: him magic secrets. Is he a twelve year old boy?

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: You've already made too many allowances for this dude. Your

226
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: boss seems nice and half schoolless, Shan Solo, half as

227
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: school as as Oh, there we Go. It was all

228
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: a lot of our Star Wars half as cool as

229
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: Han Solo, There we Go. Boyfriend of eleven months doesn't

230
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: approve of your job. Well, he should have said something

231
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: before you took the job, which I mean he couldn't

232
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: have because he's been there. You know, he wasn't there

233
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: when you started the job, except that you already had

234
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: this job for two years when you started dating. This

235
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: guy is controlling and it's concerning. Tell him he knew

236
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: what he was getting into from the beginning and he

237
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: can keep his issues to himself. Your boss actually sounds

238
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: like a kind, considerate man and op when asked if

239
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 2: maybe it's a Hugh Hefner thing that's bothering the boyfriend,

240
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: what does that mean?

241
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: Huh what does that mean?

242
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Thanks for the response.

243
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Like maybe because the magician is to be like a playboy,

244
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: or like maybe he's like a yeah.

245
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: I do see the point about the entourage of beauty's thing. Yeah,

246
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: so I'm sure in reality it isn't like that as

247
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: much as it seems. The magician is married to a

248
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: woman he adores and She has a good relationship with us.

249
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: The assistants too. They are a childless, older couple and

250
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: we all just enjoy each other's company. My boyfriend has

251
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: even been over to their house for dinner a few times.

252
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: I guess from my perspective, it's hard to see why

253
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: he is so defensive, especially because I dropped the behavior

254
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: he didn't approve of immediately.

255
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: That was nice.

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: My boyfriend and I were friends before we started dating.

257
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: I would then answer any questions with magicians go to

258
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: I did that with all of my friends. I love that.

259
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: When we started dating, though, and I saw that it

260
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: really did bother him, I was more clear. I explained

261
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: to him why magic was such a secretive industry, even

262
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: told him stories about how the magician I work for

263
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: lost thousands due to another previous assistant telling his secrets.

264
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: But told him that I would never do anything that

265
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: I felt was crossing a moral or relationship line. And

266
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: there is an update and I let's go just spoiler

267
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: figure it myself. But any he thought, I don't.

268
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: Think you saw No, No, I didn't see it, but

269
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: he thought, of what everything seems like this guy's a

270
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: professional magician and he's just taking care of his family

271
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: and we have a boyfriend that just is feeling a

272
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: certain way, just feeling it inadequate a little bit, it.

273
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: Seems like and it seems like, you know, he comes

274
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: from a wealthy family, so it doesn't seem like he

275
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: just feels as if he can't buy or anything. So yeah,

276
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: I think it's a him issue.

277
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it.

278
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: And if he can't work through.

279
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: It, they have to have that conversation if they haven't already. Yeah,

280
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: And if he can't get over it, then you have

281
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: to create a boundary or yeah.

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: Because she's being paid well, oh.

283
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and she respected his wishes too, like, hey, I'll

284
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: create this boundary with the magician and that.

285
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah's I also feel like if because they mentioned that

286
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: the magician and his wife did net kids, sure, and

287
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: or like an older couple, and I'm wondering if there

288
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: may be is kind of like a parent's absolutely relationship

289
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: with these young women respects and stuff, like maybe maybe that.

290
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: Was showing his appreciation in a very respectful manner. What

291
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: a nice guy.

292
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, who is this magician?

293
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? I want to meet this guy.

294
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: It's not me, it's full time. Update. One week later,

295
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: we broke up. Oh, it's a long, uninteresting story. I

296
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: basically asked him once and for all why he hates

297
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: the magician so much. I stayed calm the whole time,

298
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: besides crying from frustration, but he got a little heated.

299
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: It ended up with him saying, I just can't be

300
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: in a relationship where I'm not convinced my girlfriend isn't

301
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: effing some seventy year old pervert per Oh my god, Yeah,

302
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: you can't in a relationship.

303
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, read it.

304
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: You were right. It was hard to see, but I

305
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: felt like our relationship was perfect otherwise. But laying out

306
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: the truth made me realize a few things. His distrust

307
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: of the guy was a result of his distrust for me,

308
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: which I didn't see. My ex boyfriend has been texting

309
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: me every day talking about working it out. I mean,

310
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: he's the one who basically ended it. Right now, I

311
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: am still in too much pain from the distrust and

312
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: the comments he said to me. I just feel like

313
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: if he could grow up, we could be so perfect together.

314
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Right now, though I'm listening to reason logic, my friends

315
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: read it. The whole world who was telling me to

316
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: stay away from him? But there is a tiny bit

317
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: left to the story, any final thoughts, concluding thoughts.

318
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: Time will kill all of this and who knows, maybe

319
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: they'll get back together. That's but he needs to grow

320
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: up a low.

321
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he needs to figure out his own insecurities because

322
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: the fact that he immediately jumped to like I think

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: that you're, you know, having an inappropriate relationship with this guy.

324
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: And totally I don't think. It didn't seem like she

325
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: gave him any reason in the past, you know, But

326
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: there's always two sides of the story. Who knows? Who knows?

327
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: As for or the Magician, I went to dinner with

328
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: him and the other assistance for a meeting about a

329
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: show next week. I was extremely depressed. He mentioned a

330
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: shopping trip because he wants a certain look for the

331
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: next show, and the other assistants urged me to come along,

332
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: and I agreed. It feels nice to be able to

333
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: spend time with people who enjoy my company and I

334
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: enjoy theirs, and have never done anything to me without

335
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: kindness in their hearts, without having to answer to a

336
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: boyfriend who doesn't trust me TLDR. The Magician isn't the

337
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: only man who made me disappear.

338
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: Aw oh, oh my goodness.

339
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: Oh, he says. I did try to work it out.

340
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: I immediately asked my boss to stop the behavior that

341
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: made him uncomfortable. I explained to him why I couldn't

342
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: reveal magic secrets. I did my best to show him

343
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: that I am a loving, faithful girlfriend. Absolutely, the cheating

344
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: accusations and him yelling at me were just too much

345
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: to bear. I have always been faithful in all relationships

346
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: and did my best to make him happy. He has

347
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: shown that he doesn't respect my job, he doesn't understand

348
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: how valuable my job is being broken college, and that

349
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: he doesn't trust me around my nearly seventy year old boss,

350
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: who I've worked for for three years and has always

351
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: respected my boundaries. I have issues in my personal life,

352
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: grief issues that I can't resolve with such negativity directed

353
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: at me by one person who is supposed to support you.

354
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 3: Good for her, Yeah, good for her, and that's that's great.

355
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: The end of that story. Well, it seems like it's

356
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: worked out, you know, for the best.

357
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: At least she needs to get rid of dude just

358
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: for now.

359
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

360
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might get back.

361
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: Together, you know. I think she'll find someone better.

362
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that is Joy's magic. Don't want to know all

363
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: the secret.

364
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, just likes it for what it is and doesn't

365
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: need to you know, break it all apart that haply.

366
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the most part.

367
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: And what a cool job. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Like you're

368
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: getting paid it seemingly pretty well, you're getting clothes, you

369
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: at least, you know up until.

370
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: There like a family, to be honest with you, Yeah,

371
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: he's created like a family atmosphere. And yeah, you know,

372
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: some people just don't like that, I guess. Yeah, that's weird,

373
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: so strange.

374
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: But we've got another story coming right up.

375
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: Let's go.

376
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,600

Speaker 3: First of all, I'm very grateful. I'm known as the

Speaker 3: more magic. Yeah, you know that's I think that's my

388
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: purpose and my function as a human being is to

Speaker 2: gonna have some questions for you. All right, let's do it.

399
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: I did a magic trick in front of my family

400
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: and it turned into chaos.

401
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: Let's go. That's cool.

402
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 2: So I, thirty two, Mail and some of my family

403
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: six to sixty were out for a family meal to

404
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: celebrate my brother's birthday. It was nothing fancy, just to

405
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: get together and meal at a local pub and restaurant,

406
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: and I thought it would be funny to do a

407
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: magic trick. By the way, this comes from Drew Pickles

408
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,520

00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Uh, the man in the purple suit, Jonathan Molow

414
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: time here.

Speaker 2: Today, and yeah, we're gonna have a Jonathan help us

416
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: read these stories and give some advice, and Op says,

417
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: this isn't something I usually do or have ever done.

418
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: To be honest, I don't like being the center of

419
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: attention by any means. I usually just keep to myself

420
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: and make small talk and wait till it's over so

421
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: I can say I was there and not have to

422
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: talk to my family again until the next birthday holiday

423
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: someone passes away. I'm going to spoil the trick, so

424
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 2: skip this paragraph if you want to keep the magic alive.

425
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: I feel like we should read it.

426
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: I think.

427
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: It basically involved, and I'm gonna pause in case you

428
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: guys don't want to spoil the magic, and then when

429
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: we edit this episode we'll put like a skip to

430
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: this part. It basically involved putting up a compacted roll

431
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: of paper streamers in my mouth and unrolling it out,

432
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: kind of like the handkerchiefs of the sleeve trick. So

433
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: I started coughing quite loudly and put my hand over

434
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: my mouth tiede putting the roll in my mouth and

435
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: to give the impression I was coughing up the streamer.

436
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: Then I stood up and started fake heaving, and I

437
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: guess looked like I was choking. Oh no, because everyone

438
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: went and started staring at me. Then someone said, oh, pee,

439
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 2: are you okay, and they started to look a bit worried.

440
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: Bear in mind, this only lasted a few seconds, but

441
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: as I was about to start pulling the streamers out,

442
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: I felt someone grab me from behind, and suddenly I

443
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: was being given the Heimlich maneuver. I couldn't do or

444
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: say anything because I had my mouth full, and so

445
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: I just tried to wave my arms around to get

446
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: them to stop. Eventually they let go, and everyone was

447
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: staring in silent anticipation to see if I was okay.

448
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: I just kind of froze for what felt like eternity,

449
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: and I kind of panicked, and in my days, I

450
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: decided the best thing to do was just finish the trick. Yeah, yeah,

451
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: he's like, the.

452
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Show has to go.

453
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So I reached into my mouth and started silently

454
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: pulling out about twenty feet of colorful paper, and then

455
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: gave an awkward to die.

456
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: No.

457
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm imagining this is because and someone goes, oh my God,

458
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: starts doing like high, look maneuver, and he goes, let's stop,

459
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: and then he goes.

460
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: Well, spoiler alert, I was going to do that at

461
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: the end of the show.

462
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 5: But now you can't do that.

463
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: That's when people started calling me an ething idiot, saying

464
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: what a stupid thing to do that was, and I

465
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: need to think about my actions before I do them. Well,

466
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: if he did think about it the job, everyone was

467
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: very pissed off and didn't really talk to me for

468
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: the rest of the meal. So am I the a hole.

469
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: I just thought it would be a funny trick, but

470
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: obviously it wasn't. And we've got some questions, but do

471
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: you have any thoughts on this?

472
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: His intentions were very h I think he's just a

473
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: sweet guy and yeah, his family, you know, should just

474
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: kind of get over it.

475
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: I feel like that's like such a minor you know,

476
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like, oh, he drew it out for

477
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: too long, just like and so I was like, oh

478
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: my god.

479
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: I love the way he finished though, after the twenty

480
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 3: five feet of rainbows coming out of his mouth. Yeah, today,

481
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: that's that's I'm gonna have to end my show like that.

482
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: That's pretty amazing.

483
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: I'm really wondering, because I feel like this could go

484
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: one of two ways. Either he does this all the time,

485
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: you know, like he performs drinks all the time and

486
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: they're just kind of sick of it. Or he's never

487
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: done this.

488
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: And oh that's true.

489
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: Why would you just do that?

490
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: Maybe they're not in magic fans. He doesn't need that

491
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: in his life.

492
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get out of here a bunch of haters.

493
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: Yes, we don't need that, we don't need that.

494
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: No, but we have some questions. And I actually I'm

495
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: going to lead with a question that I think kind

496
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: of relates to the story. Do you have a worst

497
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: drink or a worst like performance experience? Oh?

498
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my goodness. So uh this has happened when

499
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: I was a budding magician. Yeah, and I didn't do

500
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: magic full time. I had I had an adult job

501
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 3: and I do a lot for charities and nonprofits and

502
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: that's how you usually get started, you know, that's where

503
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 3: you get your repsent. And I did a show for

504
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: a foster care where they shut down the Chuck E

505
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: Cheese and they just partied out. There were so many

506
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: kids there, and yeah, it was so much fun, and

507
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: you know, I was like oh, I'm going to inspire

508
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: these kids. And you know, but I shared a magic

509
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: trick that involved the coin where I vanished the coin

510
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: for this young man I think he was about ten

511
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: to thirteen years old, and I vanished it. It was gone,

512
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 3: and he just looked at me kind of blankly, and

513
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: he told me. He looked me straight in the eye

514
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: and he told me I know where it went. Where

515
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: it went. He was like, I know where it went.

516
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, no, you know, it's magic. It's

517
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: magic anyway, it just yeah, and then he said, yeah,

518
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: it's in your pocket. And even though he was right,

519
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: that's besides the point. Yeah, So he started reaching into

520
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: my pocket. No, yeah, and I was just like, whoa

521
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: wait a minuteage, keep other Chaine, just leave me alone.

522
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what the laws are in

523
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: the chuck e cheese. But yeah, he looked me dead

524
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 3: in the eye once again, and he said, uh, I'm

525
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: going to expose you tonight.

526
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

527
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: And I'm like, that's not fun. Yeah, and he said

528
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun for me. So he literally followed

529
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: me around the room trying to expose everything I did. Yeah, Yeah,

530
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: that was fun.

531
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: He grew up to be the last op's boyfriend.

532
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: That's it's like there's some closure there. If you're listening,

533
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: that was your boyfriend. Yeah, he's kind of a butthole.

534
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: Goodness.

535
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, kids are the worst. Yeah, I have three of

536
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: my own. I have six of my own.

537
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: Wow. They like magic too, you.

538
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 3: Know, they love the idea of magic and performing, but

539
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: they don't like to practice. So yeah, but that that kid,

540
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 3: I hope you're doing well. Yeah, but you ruined my night.

541
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: Honestly followed you around to expose your magic.

542
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: So this is actually what I did. And I learned

543
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: this from various masters of the art and especially with

544
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: dealing with kids. Any magicians out there, if you come

545
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: up to any situation like this, what I did. I

546
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: boxed them out out like Jordan in the NBA finals. Yeah,

547
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: so he would I would kind of like turn my

548
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: body where he was facing my back, and then he

549
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: would try to move and I would just move with him. Yeah,

550
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: and then he just he finally got tired of Yeah.

551
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: Nice, So he's got to tire them out.

552
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, just just do that. He needed a nap after that.

553
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: He's lying down.

554
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

555
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: But next question, I guess, what is your favorite trick

556
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: to perform press Oh you know.

557
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: I love magic that involves people in stories.

558
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

559
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people think magic is you know,

560
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: watch the magician. You know he's doing some amazing things.

561
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: But you know, being able to have everyone, including the audience,

562
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: be part of the magic ye and hearing the stories

563
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 3: and having them be a part of it. I think

564
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: that's really important. That's that's my favorite magic. Just connection.

565
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: Magic is just a tool, yeah, to connect people.

566
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely. What was like the first trick that you learned?

567
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, So I remember my parents taking us, my

568
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: sister and I taking us to the MGM Grand in

569
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. Yeah, and there was a magic shop that

570
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: no longer exists there, and this guy was like floating

571
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: a card. I don't know if you've seen this, and

572
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: a lot of like beginner magic shops like Houdini, which

573
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: I don't think exists anymore. He was card was floating

574
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: around his body and he was making it levitae and

575
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: all that good stuff. And I wanted to do that.

576
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: I think I was about twelve years old, and I

577
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: asked my dad, like, Dad, please, can we buy that?

578
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: And he bought it for me. We went in the

579
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 3: back room with a bunch of other people that purchased it,

580
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: and they showed us how the trick worked.

581
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: That's cool.

582
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't cool. I was like that anything I thought

583
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: it was like, I thought it was magic. I thought

584
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: it was you know, this is before the Internet, before

585
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: we had all this information readily available, and I thought

586
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: it was either magic or electronic based, and I love electronics,

587
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: and that wasn't the case.

588
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: I was kind of devastating a little bit.

589
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's how I did. Yeah, that's how it happens. Yeah, yeah,

590
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: I don't do that trick. Yeah, it's not my favorite.

591
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like I guess it might be like

592
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: if you have an interest in magic and then you

593
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: learn all the secrets.

594
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: Most definitely, Yeah, most definitely. That's I think that's why

595
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: kids no longer find anything, you know, amazing, Yes, because

596
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: they can.

597
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's such a like overflow of information.

598
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 3: Absolutely lutely have a lot of secrets left unfortunately.

599
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean you kind of mentioned how you started,

600
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: but was there anyone or any people that kind of

601
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: inspired you to get.

602
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: There's many there's many people. Uh, there's David Copperfield, huge

603
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 3: inspiration for me when I was younger. Yeah, he vanished

604
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: the Statue of Liberty. If you haven't seen that already,

605
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: I need to go watch. That's pretty cool. He has

606
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: this like seventies eighties look, yeah, and he vanishes the

607
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: Statue of Liberty. I remember watching that on my old

608
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: tube TV. That's how old I am. And uh yeah,

609
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: And you know I held onto magic as a hobby

610
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: for years. Yeah, until you know, I discovered girls and

611
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: I discovered other earth. Yeah, this is not fun and

612
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: girls don't think this is cool at all. And girls yeah, yeah,

613
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: exactly exactly. I found one and uh yeah. And then

614
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: David Blaine, he did his thing in the early two thousands,

615
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: came out with this special that that kind of jolted

616
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: me back into it, and just I seem to always

617
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: come back to magic. I've had many hobbies throughout my life,

618
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: but magic seems to be the one that's stuck. And

619
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: now I'm doing it as a profession, which is never

620
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: let anybody tell you you can't do something, because if

621
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: I can be a magician, it can be whatever you want.

622
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: I agree, absolutely, yeah.

623

Speaker 3: that night, sitting in front of the TV trying to

696
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,040

Speaker 3: saw that I was frustrated, and this is what she

698
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: said to make me feel better. She said, you know

699
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,440

00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: minutes of ads from our sponsors.

787
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: My sister's boyfriend mocked my magic, so I went off

788
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: on him.

789
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, get out of here, boyfriend.

790
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,279

00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,560

Speaker 2: my job. My sister Talia twenty two, very recently got

794

Speaker 2: married to her four year long boyfriend twenty three James

00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: not his real name, and I have never gotten along.

796
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: There was no specific reason for it, but I never

Speaker 2: Jonathan is gonna help us give advice to these story

810
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: writers today. Anyway, into the story, my sister asked me

811
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: if I would perform at her wedding because both she

812
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: and James are young and do not have a lot

813
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: of money for the wedding. I said yes to help

814
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: my sister and assumed that James also knew about this,

815
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: but apparently he did not. When I asked him if

816
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: there was anything specific he wanted me to do for

817
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: his wedding, he said, why what I want you to perform?

818
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: I thought we were getting real entertainment. Oh no, well, James,

819
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of money, so you get

820
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: what you get. I let this go, but it bothered

821
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: me for days. Eventually, with persuading from my sister, James

822
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: relented and said that I could perform if I wanted,

823
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 2: like he was doing me some kind of favor. I

824
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 2: snapped at this and said that I was doing it

825
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: for free for my sister. I also told him that

826
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: if he was going to be rude. I would not

827
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: help with his wedding. The next day I got a

828
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: half hearted apology from him. Then my sister asked if

829
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: I would still help with the wedding entertainment. I decided,

830
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: against my better judgment than I would still help. This

831
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like it's gonna go too well, no, James,

832
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean they can't. Yeah, they can't afford it seems

833
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: like a big wedding or an expensive wedding, and you

834
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 2: have op wanting to help out for free.

835
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: If yeah, get out of here.

836
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: Fast forward two weeks. The morning before the wedding, as

837
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: I was going to the venue, my friend Dave shows

838
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: me messages in a group chat with James. James was

839
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: talking badly about me and my job, saying things like

840
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: I can't believe Talia talked me into this. What really

841
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: got to me was what he posted next. He wrote,

842
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: these lame card tricks are not even that hard. Then

843
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: he posted a video of a really crude, sloppy back

844
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: palm and followed it with see I learned that in

845
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: like two days, whereas Opie's had seven years. Really this

846
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: magic stuff is easy? Well, maybe what you need to

847
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: do opie is when you're at the wedding, you have

848
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: all of your tricks ready, and then you call him

849
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: up and you're like, well, i've heard that James just

850
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 2: started getting into magic, so why don't you show.

851
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 3: Us a trick since it's so easy.

852
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, shapement at his own wedding.

853
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: Somebody seems a little jealous.

854
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. There were more messages, but I stopped reading

855
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: to prevent myself from exploding with rage. When I got

856
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: to the venue, I completely lost my temper. I cursed

857
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: out James and told him that if what I did

858
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: was so easy, then he could do it himself. I

859
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: told him I would not help anymore. He got mad

860
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: and yelled at me about how I dare I do this.

861
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: On the actual day of the wedding, he said I

862
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: was being a butt. I did not perform at the wedding,

863
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: and the situation was slightly awkward. A couple of people

864
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: who heard I was supposed to do magic asked why

865
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: I was not performing. I told him that if they

866
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: wanted magic, they could ask James, because apparently he was

867
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: a magician.

868
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 3: Now absolutely Yeah.

869
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: After the wedding, James said that I was an a

870
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: whole because I ruined his wedding and embarrassed him in

871
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 2: front of his friends and family. Normally I would not care,

872
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: but James' parents also said I was an a whole.

873
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: Even my own mom said I went too far with

874
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: what I said at the wedding. And there is an edit,

875
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: which I'll read that now because it's quick. A lot

876
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: of people have been asking about my sister and the

877
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: story and how she reacted after the wedding. I have

878
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: not spoken to her since the wedding because she's still

879
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: on her honeymoon. Apparently she was mad at both of us,

880
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: calling us spoiled children, for James talking badly about me

881
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: and for me bailing on the day of the wedding.

882
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: And that's the end of that story. But do you

883
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: have any thoughts?

884
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: Oh wow, how old is that other guy?

885
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: It seems like they're fairly young, it seems like and

886
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 2: he's twenty three.

887
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, he needs to grow up a little bit.

888
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

889
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just who doesn't like magic? You don't need

890
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: that energy at all.

891
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I do think it is fair for op

892
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: not to want to perform when we outright said I

893
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 2: don't appreciate it. I think it's stupid. I probably would

894
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: have given the sister a bit of a heads up

895
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: prior to the wedding.

896
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: Why didn't the sister Why didn't the sister kind of

897
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 3: stick up for Yeah?

898
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 2: I think I think if I were Opie in this situation,

899
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: I would have gone to the sister and said, Hey,

900
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: I feel pretty disrespected that you're going said this.

901
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna do it if you guys don't

902
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: want to. Yeah. Absolutely, Wow, And it doesn't seem like

903
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 3: a very serious thing if somebody wants to go around

904
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: entertaining your guest as a gift, Like, why would you

905
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: so ungrateful?

906
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why would you be upset about that? It's free entertainment?

907
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems so unreasonable. Absolutely, And his intentions were

908
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 3: just you know, yeah, give a gift to you know,

909
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: his uh, his future brother in law and you know,

910
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 3: his sister. That's that seems very ungrateful.

911
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: Have you ever had like besides that little boy, Yeah,

912
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: have you ever had like any adults or family members

913
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: or friends or you know, people are in your circle

914
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: or like a little bit outside or like yeah, just

915
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 2: or like kind of dismissive or you know, you know.

916
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: I'm very grateful that a lot of my family members

917
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: and friends have been very supportive with all of this.

918
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: And I did grow up with my mom who just left,

919
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 3: who saw the Rubik's Cube. You know, they're yeah, they're

920
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: they're very very like old school Filipino parents, where you

921
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: can only be a nurse or a postman or work

922
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 3: on a cruise ship or some respectful job, not a magician. Yeah,

923
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, in the very beginning, they're just like, oh, Jonathan,

924
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 3: you're you're wasting your time, Like what are you doing?

925
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 3: And then when I quit my adult job actually recently

926
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: the beginning of this year, I left a job that

927
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,080

929
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 3: stuff that you need to pursue this, and my parents

930
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: were like, what are you doing with your life? They

931
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: don't hate magic, they just hate the idea of like

932
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: they're just not aware that you can actually be a career,

933
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: a career, you know, a very good career doing what

934
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: you love to do. And so that's as clok. I've

935
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: been to many trolling gigs and shows that I've you know,

936
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 3: where I walk around sharing card tricks and coin tricks

937
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 3: and stuff like that that people just don't like magic.

938
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: They're just like, oh no, we're good, thank you, and yeah, yeah, yeah,

939
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: thank you and yeah. It's just one of those things

940
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 3: that you're just like, okay, well, if you change your mind,

941
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: let me know. Yeah'll never never all the beginning magicians

942
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: out there or like or just trying to get their

943
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 3: footing in the door, never forced your magic upon it.

944
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 3: If they don't want to see it, they don't want

945
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 3: to see it. Yeah okay.

946
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 2: And I feel like people tend to be more receptive

947
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 2: when they actually are willing to enjoy.

948
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 3: Yes, most definitely, and not everybody loves magic, which is

949
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: weird strange.

950
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 4: Keon, who you met earlier, made fun of me for

951
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 4: being into magic, and that's why.

952
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: I got to do this. Yeah here today jokes on him.

953
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 3: Now he's miss ye too bad, so sad, but.

954
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,479
Speaker 2: We appreciate we're magic.

955
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 3: Thank you. Oh yeah, thank you.

956
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: I think he came around eventually.

957
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, he made fun of me like a month ago

958
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 4: for it.

959
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: That's not right. If you're watching this, No bueno, I

960
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 3: learned that today.

961
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 2: Learn somebody so much Spanish. No, My experience with magic

962
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 2: was when I, you know, I feel like every young

963
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: child that read Harry Potter waiting for ser you know

964
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: that was mine?

965
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 3: Well, fun fact, I've never read Harry Potter and I'm

966
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: not a fan.

967
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair. I mean I'm not a fan of

968
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: the writer. Just uh, just when I as a child

969
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: waiting for that letter and I'm I'm even more not

970
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: a fan that I never received it.

971
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 3: It's a they send it via email. Now if you don't,

972
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 3: I must have went to my spam Yeah, probably probably late.

973
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 2: But we've got another story.

977
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: a quick three minute break of ass from our sponsors.

978
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: My brother refused to support my dream of being a magician.

979
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: So ever since the age of about four, I've been

980
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: really interested in the world of magic and illusion. I

981
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: went to one magic show at the beach and was

982
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 2: hooked by the way. This comes from Dinny Finn And

Speaker 3: official magician of the nonprofit organizations Rocking Our Disabilities and

994
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: And Jonathan is going to help us with this store today.

995
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 2: I started high school and I would always bring a

996
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: deck of cards and do card tricks for people at lunch.

997
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 3: Let's go.

998
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 2: Everyone loved it, but my brother started avoiding me at

999
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: school because he was embarrassed. But literally, what's there to

1000
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 2: be embarrassed of? I will admit I was really petty,

1001
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: So every time he told me I was embarrassing him,

1002
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: I stole his money to buy more magic stuff.

1003
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 3: Let's go.

1004
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: Sure, the most I ever took was two hundred dollars.

1005
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not good. That's that's good. That's all right.

1006
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know crappy. How Also, I can't imagine he's

1007
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 2: much older than you. Is he storing two hundred dollars

1008
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: just in his room? Maybe because that seems pretty possible.

1009
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: Good for good for him on saving money, That's that's

1010
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: up bright silver lighting.

1011
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: So how did he not notice that you stole two

1012
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: hundred dollars?

1013
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 3: Maybe he has more than two superoy? Good, Hey, very good.

1014
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: When I was fifteen, he brought home his first girlfriend.

1015
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 2: They had been dating previously for six months and really

1016
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: liked each other. So, like the born entertainer I am,

1017
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 2: I brought out the squirting flower and let's go, what's

1018
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: the glorpy?

1019
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that one. That sounds very aggressive.

1020
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 2: For some reason, when I did the squirting flower thing,

1021
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: she didn't say anything or smile. She just kind of

1022
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: stood up and left. Afterwards, he got very angry at me,

1023
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: saying she broke out with him. Wow, she broke out

1024
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: with him over you doing like having a little bit

1025
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: of water squired out?

1026
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 3: You know, maybe she's allergic.

1027
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't know she's allergic to water.

1028
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I'm only

1029
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 3: a magician.

1030
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe she's she's got some like magician's.

1031
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 3: Trauma maybe, or she's a witch where you get waters

1032
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 3: like this is this is this is this is very toxic.

1033
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, But to me that seems like a hymn problem.

1034
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: How is your relationship that fragile to the point where

1035
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: a magic trick ends. It all seems like he dodged

1036
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: a bullet there. He brought home his second girlfriend when

1037
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 2: I was sixteen. We hit it off really well, so

1038
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: I decided to surprise her with a few tricks, like

1039
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 2: the coin vine in the ear appearing one hundred dollars

1040
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: bill and the flower quarter. Honestly, if after the first

1041
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: time you do magic tricks for your brother's girlfriend and

1042
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: then she breaks up with him, probably after, I probably

1043
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: wouldn't be performing magic tricks for his new girlfriends.

1044
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: I think his intentions are nice, Yeah, like he just

1045
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: wants to make people happy, I hope so. Or he's

1046
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 3: just like evil.

1047
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I'm stealing all your money and I

1048
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: want you.

1049
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, break absolutely get yeah, get out of here. New girlfriend.

1050
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. She was laughing the whole time, and my brother

1051
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: got visually more mad. In the middle of eating dessert,

1052
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: he pulled me into my room and started quietly yelling

1053
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 2: at me, saying I'm embarrassing him, he hates me and

1054
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: I should stop being weird stuff like that. But she

1055
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 2: was literally laughing. It wasn't uncomfortable laughter either, it was

1056
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 2: visible joy. As forward to a couple months ago my

1057
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: eighteenth birthday, Me, my mom, my brother, and the girlfriend

1058
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: from two years ago they're still together, come over and

1059
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 2: have dinner. I announced that I want to go full

1060
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 2: time to being a magician, and the girlfriend and my

1061
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: mom were happy for me. Oh, my brother said he

1062
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 2: was ashamed of me. Okay, at this point he needs

1063
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: to get over it.

1064
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, they sound like an Asian family. This is.

1065
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what this brother's problem is.

1066
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

1067
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: That really hurt my feelings because it's my dream. What

1068
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 2: the effort you to say it's not what is so

1069
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: wrong with magic? But there is a little bit left

1070
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 2: to the story, and I think we're gonna get, oh,

1071
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 2: the brother's reasoning or you know something.

1072
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 3: So we get we get a different perspective.

1073
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: I think, just like why he's so upset with this

1074
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 2: interest that but too many final thoughts about maybe.

1075
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 3: Well, I, like I spoke about earlier, you know, I

1076
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: went through something very similar because of my parents. You know,

1077
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 3: they just didn't think that was a great idea. But

1078
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it doesn't seem like his brother's reasoning

1079
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 3: is the same along the lines where you're not you know,

1080
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 3: he just doesn't like magic. Yeah, regardless, regardless, if you

1081
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 3: have to support your family, you gotta support even if

1082
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: it just sounds so silly, just like, yeah, you could

1083
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: do anything. You want to be a bird. You could

1084
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 3: be a bird that's a bird really fly away.

1085
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean like, at this point, it seems like

1086
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: the brother has been against it from the start, even

1087
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: before you expressed your desire for it to be a career.

1088
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 3: I think there's another underlying reason. There has to be

1089
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 3: underlying read. There has to be.

1090
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 2: But there's a little bit left to this story. Oh,

1091
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: he says. I asked him why, and he said that

1092
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: it's not a real job, it's juvenile. I'm gonna be

1093
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: broke by the time I'm twenty five, and to not

1094
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: ask for any money when I need it. I yelled

1095
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: at him, saying that he should support me no matter what,

1096
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: because he's family.

1097
00:51:59,239 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1098
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: So then he left. I haven't talked to him since November,

1099
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: besides when he came over to pick up a jacket.

1100
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: He left in December. So the question is am I

1101
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: the a hole for wanting him to support me. I

1102
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: think it was kind of my fault for breaking his

1103
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: old girlfriend up and stealing money.

1104
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1105
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe he's really upset with you because you've

1106
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: stolen like hundreds of dollars from him.

1107
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 3: Maybe that's that kind Does he know though? I mean

1108
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 3: could he not know? Yeah?

1109
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean how did he think he lost?

1110
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 3: That was a bad thing to do?

1111
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1112
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And if that's the case, that doesn't really correlate

1113
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 3: with what he's saying. Yeah, absolutely, it doesn't. Like what

1114
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 3: does that have to do with supporting your brother as

1115
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 3: you know, yeahs as a magician, but a you can

1116
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 3: be a magician, and you can be a very successful magician,

1117
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 3: and it's one of those things that you can't control

1118
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: your brother and sometimes you have to follow your hearts.

1119
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 2: And just kind of prove them wrong.

1120
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: I love that. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, And that's what pushes me.

1121
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 3: There's plenty of times that people are like, no, you

1122
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 3: can't do that, and I'm like, yeah, well watch me, just.

00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,440
