Speaker 1: Hi, what's your name? What's up, Neve? How's it gone good?
Speaker 2: How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm hanging in there. I'm lizarding. I'm lizarding it up.
Speaker 1: How can I get you today? Nive?
Speaker 3: I totally did not expect you to answer. What he
Speaker 3: I have pet snails, pet giant African land snails, and
Speaker 3: where I live they're illegal, and so I keep them
Speaker 3: a secret a lot, and I usually keep track of
Speaker 3: the amount of eggs that they have. But I guess
Speaker 3: I missed a couple of days and they usually lay
Speaker 3: hundreds at a time and they all hatched, and the
Speaker 3: other day I found hundreds crawling around and I don't
Speaker 3: know how to kill them.
Speaker 1: Wow, So why are these snails illegal?
Speaker 3: I live in Canada, and it's like if they're native
Speaker 3: to Africa, and if they get out, they can you know,
Speaker 3: ruin the ecosystem in the area.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. What how did you get them?
Speaker 3: Some girl who like lives in a random town outside
Speaker 3: of my city at them. I don't know how she
Speaker 3: had them.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. You know, I so like you know this, uh,
Speaker 1: like they'll be like a bunch of like crickets or
Speaker 1: I'm just using a random example. But like there they'll
Speaker 1: be like crickets and they're like an invasive species, right,
Speaker 1: and so they'll be signs where it's like, if you
Speaker 1: see one of these crickets, kill them because they're invading there,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I always thought
Speaker 1: I always thought that was fucked up because it's like,
Speaker 1: why hold on, wait a minute, So but these crickets,
Speaker 1: these crickets are not morally I mean, you know, we
Speaker 1: could make an argument about whether or not you know,
Speaker 1: like people who've done wrong deserve to die, right, but
Speaker 1: you know, do do do insects that have done wrong
Speaker 1: deserve to die? I think pretty obviously no, because that
Speaker 1: like no insect ever invaded you know. The insects are
Speaker 1: not like you know, Hitler doing World War two. They're
Speaker 1: they're not like planning this out. They're just running around.
Speaker 1: They just found themselves there. So why are we supposed to,
Speaker 1: you know, kill them. I feel like that's fucked up.
Speaker 1: You know, like look, why like why not let them
Speaker 1: if any I mean, look, humans, we're the most invasive
Speaker 1: species to ever exist. We should all kill ourselves if uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if if we're trying to get rid of
Speaker 1: invasive theses headline therapy Gecko says we should all kill ourselves.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so, how many snails are we working with here?
Speaker 3: Probably like two or three hundred?
Speaker 1: You have? You are currently in possession of three hundred snails.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where do you.
Speaker 1: Put three hundred snails?
Speaker 3: Right now? They're chiny, which is good, but that's why
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. I'm currently they laid
Speaker 3: more eggs this morning, and I'm currently getting them out
Speaker 3: of the tank.
Speaker 1: You have three hundred illegal snails?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are they all? How big is this tank that you're
Speaker 1: keeping them all in?
Speaker 3: Well? The big tank is like a big fish tank
Speaker 3: that my my, I have two snails that are like
Speaker 3: fully grown. They're the ones that have these and then
Speaker 3: the babies. I'm just putting them in like containers.
Speaker 1: So the government wants you to kill your snails. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh okay, So you're torn because you don't want to
Speaker 1: kill the snails, but also you don't want to release
Speaker 1: them because then they'll start invading stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll probably die if I release them anyways too.
Speaker 1: Oh so they're destined to dine a matter of what,
Speaker 1: or you could keep them in foster them. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: let's go back to the beginning. Why did you purchase
Speaker 1: illegal snails?
Speaker 3: Because I really like snails and these ones get really big.
Speaker 1: So if you really like snails, why is it so
Speaker 1: bad to have three hundred of them?
Speaker 3: I don't know where to put three hundred snails. I
Speaker 3: can't feed three hundred snails.
Speaker 1: Could you send them back to Africa?
Speaker 3: That'll probably get me a just did Why would that?
Speaker 1: Wait? Why would that get you arrested?
Speaker 3: Because I don't think you can be sending snails.
Speaker 2: Over the borders.
Speaker 1: But how do they get there?
Speaker 3: I don't know? All right, so I want to find
Speaker 3: the people who brought them here in the first place.
Speaker 1: All right, So you have three hundred baby snails. So
Speaker 1: the only option, I guess would be to kill all
Speaker 1: three hundred of them, or not the only option. I'm
Speaker 1: sure we can find a way out of this. But
Speaker 1: you're considering killing three hundred baby snails because you can't
Speaker 1: hold on to them. You can't let them out into
Speaker 1: the wild, and you can't send them back to their home.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait, this is kind of like that movie. This is
Speaker 1: kind of like that movie three hundred right, I don't
Speaker 1: know that movie. Okay, I haven't seen. It's probably not
Speaker 1: like that at all. But what were you thinking to do?
Speaker 1: What are you leaning towards?
Speaker 3: I think I just have to kill them. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of knew this was going to happen, but
Speaker 3: I was I didn't think they were all going to hatch.
Speaker 3: I thought I would just be able to maybe kill
Speaker 3: the like the eggs when they were still eggs. But
Speaker 3: then I lost track and they all hatched. And now
Speaker 3: there's so many tiny baby snail faces looking at me,
Speaker 3: and it's hard to kill them.
Speaker 1: Why did you buy them in the first place? If
Speaker 1: you knew you were gonna have to kill them?
Speaker 3: Well, I thought I would just like get, you know,
Speaker 3: find them when they were eggs, and then be able
Speaker 3: to kill the eggs.
Speaker 1: Oh so you were going to buy them and then
Speaker 1: kill their babies.
Speaker 3: That's usually how it's done.
Speaker 4: That's kind of fucked up, you know, But otherwise.
Speaker 3: I mean someone else was going to do it, so
Speaker 3: I might. I was, you know, they're already here, like
Speaker 3: the snails are already You're like just there. When they
Speaker 3: have babies. They're gonna die anyways, whether they're in the wilder.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could say that about every organism. Every
Speaker 1: organism is gonna die anyway. Yeah, what could you eat them?
Speaker 1: They do that in France.
Speaker 4: Mmm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess like you could eat eat them they're
Speaker 3: they're I don't think I feel like that would be
Speaker 3: more cruel to eat my pets babies.
Speaker 1: Why would that be more cool? I feel like it's
Speaker 1: less cruel because, like if you just kill them, just
Speaker 1: to kill them, like we kill things and eat them
Speaker 1: all the time, this would be pretty normal. You're just
Speaker 1: kill It's like you eat a chicken sandwich, except you're
Speaker 1: eating the snail.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this might Every time I tell people this, it
Speaker 3: sounds really bad. But I thought, like, you know, I
Speaker 3: would like I would kill the eggs, you know, crush them,
Speaker 3: and then I could I could seat them back to
Speaker 3: my snails. It's a lot of nutrients, it's good protein,
Speaker 3: and they.
Speaker 1: Will fucked up.
Speaker 3: That's what so many people do. That's what they tell
Speaker 3: me to do online.
Speaker 1: People online tell you kill your snails babies and then
Speaker 1: feed your snails dead babies to the snails.
Speaker 3: They don't know, they don't know it's they just it's
Speaker 3: yummy to them. It's like a protein shake.
Speaker 1: Wait, these snails enjoy eating their own dead babies.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they don't know. It's just like it's
Speaker 3: just a snack to them.
Speaker 1: In that case, I think these snails are sickos and
Speaker 1: you should kill them. Okay, and then when you're killing them,
Speaker 1: you don't have to feel bad because you can be like, well,
Speaker 1: these guys were about to eat their own dead babies,
Speaker 1: and that's fucked up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, why did you do that?
Speaker 1: Why did you do any of this? Do you have
Speaker 1: any other hobbies? What do you do with your life?
Speaker 1: Who are you?
Speaker 3: I don't do anything. I just I have snails. I
Speaker 3: really love snails. They used to collect snails all the time,
Speaker 3: and then I found out you could there are giant
Speaker 3: snails you can get and I wanted to get giants snails.
Speaker 1: These are the giant snails. Yeah, how big are Can
Speaker 1: you send me a picture of these snails?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Can you text it to the phone line?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: Where in Africa are they from?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What what are they called?
Speaker 3: They're called giant African.
Speaker 1: Land snails, Giant African land snails. Okay, I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: me google giant African land snails, Giant African snail. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: these are huge?
Speaker 3: Y know?
Speaker 1: These are huge snails. Yeah, okay, so for those who
Speaker 1: are listening on the audio, there's a picture that I have.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at of a snail that fits on a
Speaker 1: person's hand. These are giant snails. And right, how long
Speaker 1: until they become this big?
Speaker 3: Like? A year? Year or two?
Speaker 1: All right? So you have a year until these snails
Speaker 1: become this spend you have three hundred of these?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesus man, Yeah, I'll send you. I don't know
Speaker 3: if it went through.
Speaker 1: Oh you sent a foot a right. Let me look
Speaker 1: at this picture one second. Okay, I I did not
Speaker 1: get your snail picture, but that's okay. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: I get a reference of my own on uh on
Speaker 1: on Google. Yeah, dude, maybe, I mean ship does anyone?
Speaker 1: You can't say tell them right, because then you're you're
Speaker 1: trafficking snails.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I could maybe find the girl
Speaker 3: that gave them to me and see if she wants them.
Speaker 1: How did you get in touch with this girl that
Speaker 1: gave you the snakes, I mean the snails?
Speaker 3: Do you know the website Kajiji?
Speaker 1: Not at all. I'm not familiar with any snail marketplace website.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I think it's like a Canadian thing. It's
Speaker 3: like eBay kind of okay, it's like just a place
Speaker 3: where people post on like things online they're selling. And
Speaker 3: she was just pad a listing for these snails on them.

Speaker 1: just had three hundred babies. Yeah, okay, all right, so
Speaker 1: you bought a guy and a guy and a girl.
Speaker 3: Well they're hermaphrodites, so they I don want a gender. Really,
Speaker 3: they can produce asexually or sexually.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, Jesus man. Yeah, you're gonna have to kill
Speaker 1: those babies. Yeah, Chat, do you have any I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask the chat if they have any questions for you. Chat.
Speaker 3: I'm in Canada, and I questions of suggestions destroying life.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're gonna have to deal with the
Speaker 1: Lord at the Gates of Saint Peter. But someone said, oh,
Speaker 1: this is actually a good idea. Are there any universities
Speaker 1: or groups that can take them?
Speaker 3: Maybe? But I like it in trouble if they know
Speaker 3: I have these here, there's.
Speaker 1: No like snail you know how Okay? So like, oh wait, okay,
Speaker 1: how about this? Okay? So sometimes I go to when

Speaker 1: the airport, there's like a marijuana amnesty box where it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, look, we know that you you know you
Speaker 1: got weed on you, but if you just put it
Speaker 1: in this box, you're cool. Right. Is there like a

Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, you could.
Speaker 1: Which someone asked would you get arrested if you were
Speaker 1: called for this? Like, do you are you familiar with
Speaker 1: the what are the actual consequences? Could you get arrested?
Speaker 3: I'd probably just get like a fine since I only
Speaker 3: have them. Maybe if I was Yeah, it's probably just
Speaker 3: a fine.
Speaker 1: How much is the fine?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: How much are three hundred baby snails lives worth to you?
Speaker 3: I feel like if I let them out into the wild,
Speaker 3: I would get a really big fine or something. You know.
Speaker 3: But or if I was telling them to people, I
Speaker 3: get in a lot of troubles. Book. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't control how many they had. That's their fault.
Speaker 1: Someone says you could put them in a box and
Speaker 1: take them to an orphanage. That's something.
Speaker 3: I could. I feel like the orphanage might get scared
Speaker 3: and not know.
Speaker 2: What it is.
Speaker 1: People. A bunch of people in the chat are saying
Speaker 1: do not release them, But I think, why not? What
Speaker 1: do you? Here's what? Okay, let me what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: if you release them? What are they gonna do?
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, I live in Canada, so it's really cold
Speaker 3: right now, so they would just die immediately? In English?
Speaker 1: Oh all right, yeah, so they were going to die anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you bought these snails?
Speaker 3: Man, They make me so happy?
Speaker 1: Are they making you happy right now?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: I'm a bit frustrated with them?
Speaker 1: What what's wrong? Well? I guess what's what's so wrong?
Speaker 1: Like couldn't you can't? Can't you buy like normal snails?
Speaker 1: Like what what was so bad about? Why were the
Speaker 1: vibe A regular snails not enough for you? So you

Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna reflect on my actions. I'm going
Speaker 3: to be more a careful and make sure the eggs
Speaker 3: don't hatch. That's what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?

Speaker 3: literally like the beginning of COVID, So it's very cool
Speaker 3: to talk to you.
Speaker 1: It's cool to talk to you too. I would hope
Speaker 1: that if you kept me in a you know, terrarium,
Speaker 1: and you found out that I was illegal, that you
Speaker 1: would kill me and end my suffering.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling, Neve.
Speaker 3: Thank you good.
Speaker 1: Why imagine having three hundred illegal little lizards? I feel
Speaker 1: like if it was lizards I would have been I
Speaker 1: would have gone harder on her just because like that's
Speaker 1: personal for me. But uh yeah, you know, uh eat
Speaker 1: those snails I went.
Speaker 4: I went.
Speaker 1: I ate snails once. I was in Paris many years
Speaker 1: ago and I ate some snails and they're pretty good.

Speaker 1: What's your name, sir?
Speaker 2: My name is Delta.
Speaker 1: Uh, Delta. When I go by like Delta nine, Like
Speaker 1: what Delta nine, Delta A, what's the what's the what's
Speaker 1: the exact DLTA nine? Yeah, well, Delta, how can I
Speaker 1: get you today? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man?
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm a little nervous. I didn't think I would
Speaker 2: actually get on. Let's see, I text to do saying
Speaker 2: that I'm addicted to doing crime and I think it's
Speaker 2: because of my childhood trauma. So I'm a graffiti writer.
Speaker 2: I actually am friends with uh that dude Smiley that
Speaker 2: you talked to that fell off the billboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna. I was actually thinking about this because
Speaker 1: we did a graffiti call a few months ago where
Speaker 1: this guy like he he graffitied a fucking you know.
Speaker 1: That guy totally deserved it because he he he was
Speaker 1: like graffitediing like an orphanage billboard or something, and he billboard.
Speaker 2: I was there with him.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I was on top of the billboard and I watched
Speaker 2: him fall. It wasn't it wasn't an orphanage billboard. It
Speaker 2: was actually a blank billboard, like sometimes one day are
Speaker 2: switching out ads and nobody has like bought the billboard.
Speaker 2: It's just blank, it's black. So that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: So what I assume is graffiti the only crime that
Speaker 1: you're addicted to committing. Is there any other crimes do
Speaker 1: you want to admit? Sure?
Speaker 2: I mean stealing kind of goes with graffiti. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna addicted to that. I'm addicted. I guess to like
Speaker 2: driving fast. I like drifting, but I do it relatively safe.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm not as reckless as I was when I was younger.
Speaker 2: I go up to the mountains in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night and drift up there with my friends. I'm
Speaker 2: just addicted to like high risk, like adrenaline fueled activities.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And you feel like and you feel like this is
Speaker 1: link to your childhood.
Speaker 2: I think so because I was always in like a
Speaker 2: fight or flight kind of mindset when I was younger,
Speaker 2: and I think these activities are a way for me
Speaker 2: to kind of feel that way, but in a controlled environment,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, In a somewhat controlled environment, in
Speaker 2: an environment that I put myself.
Speaker 1: In, I'll say that, hmm. Okay, Uh, so you're you're
Speaker 1: you're trying to summon your flight or fight or flight, uh,
Speaker 1: in a situation that you have control over.
Speaker 2: I guess so, yeah, I mean yeah, on the surface level,
Speaker 2: is just I enjoy doing these things and they're fun
Speaker 2: to do. But yeah, when I like think deeper on
Speaker 2: it and talking to like my therapist, I think it's
Speaker 2: linked to that.
Speaker 1: M okay, to these like situations they create trouble for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I have gotten arrested for graffiti a
Speaker 2: few times. I've crashed multiple cars drifting and spent lots
Speaker 2: of money on you know, cars and stuff. But at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like, I don't regret any
Speaker 2: of it. I still enjoy doing these things and I
Speaker 2: think I'll continue to do them. But as I you know,
Speaker 2: keep sucking up, I learned through my mistakes and learn
Speaker 2: how to do these things in the smarter, safer way.
Speaker 1: So the things that you're doing these are like drifting
Speaker 1: with cars and like motorcycles and shit like that.
Speaker 2: No, I do really want to get a motorcycle, but
Speaker 2: I know that I'm very reckless and I think I
Speaker 2: would die if I got a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: Okay, I really you're drifting with cars?
Speaker 2: Yeah, drifting in cars.
Speaker 1: So I've talked about this in the podcast before. I think,
Speaker 1: but I am addicted to watching horrible and videos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've gotten And.
Speaker 1: There is a Twitter page called it's called I Fuck It,
Speaker 1: this is my life. It's called faffo underscore TV. It's
Speaker 1: fuck Around and find Out TV, and it is a
Speaker 1: Twitter page dedicated to people pretty much exactly like you,
Speaker 1: who kind of fuck around and find out people like
Speaker 1: who For some like the videos will open with like
Speaker 1: a dude riding a bicycle off of a roof and
Speaker 1: you know, finding out you know, or like people you
Speaker 1: know who are who are driving their cars in a
Speaker 1: in a crazy reckless way and finding out you know,
Speaker 1: so you've been fucking around with with a solid success rate,
Speaker 1: but soon you will find out that's what happens to
Speaker 1: those who who you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've found out, but maybe not to like the
Speaker 2: super extreme. I mean, I flipped a car on its
Speaker 2: roof and the mountains and uh completely totaled it and
Speaker 2: got very lucky by only walking away with like a
Speaker 2: couple of scratches. You know, I've watched my friend fall
Speaker 2: off the billboard almost to his death. I've been in
Speaker 2: many situations that are very close to, you know, serious consequences.
Speaker 1: And you and you and you, and you plan to
Speaker 1: continue doing these things that are edging you towards very
Speaker 1: serious consequences.
Speaker 2: I guess, so yeah, But I don't know. As I
Speaker 2: get older, like I'm definitely being more conscious and safe
Speaker 2: with my decisions, like like.
Speaker 1: Like what like tell me, tell me something you have
Speaker 1: planned to do that is an example of one of
Speaker 1: these behaviors.
Speaker 2: Okay, So for drifting, I I am planning to once
Speaker 2: I fix my car and planning to go to the
Speaker 2: track a lot more and really like get my skills
Speaker 2: down on the track. I'm still gonna drift in the streets,
Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna not do it as much.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna what is drifting drift? What exactly is
Speaker 1: drifting in the streets? What does that mean? Well?
Speaker 2: For me, I like going up into the mountains on
Speaker 2: like curby like mountain roads and finding a good couple
Speaker 2: of corners and just kind of drifting through those corners
Speaker 2: with my friends, and we'll like tandem with each other,
Speaker 2: so we'll try to like, you know, get really close
Speaker 2: to each other while we're sideways, essentially like drifting. And yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like the art of like controlling your car while
Speaker 2: it's sideways, you know how. Like you, I don't know
Speaker 2: if you've ever like hit a big puddle while you're
Speaker 2: driving being and it kind of like makes you slip out.
Speaker 2: It's like that, but on purpose.
Speaker 1: That sounds really stupid.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun. It is pretty stupid, but
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna die doing that. That's the stupidest. That's
Speaker 1: one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Me
Speaker 1: and my friends go up to a mountain. Do you
Speaker 1: do this at night?
Speaker 2: Yeah? At night?
Speaker 1: You me and my friends go up in a in
Speaker 1: a mountain in the middle of the night and we
Speaker 1: and we drive really fast right next to each other
Speaker 1: on windy roads. That's what. It's really stupid.
Speaker 2: It's so fun though.
Speaker 1: Fucking playing video games, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know, it doesn't give me that
Speaker 2: same Well.
Speaker 1: It's also really stupid because here's another thing, is like
Speaker 1: if you want to kill yourself. You know, you, as
Speaker 1: a human being, have the right. You can do that.
Speaker 1: It's the right that you have, is your its bodily autonomy.
Speaker 1: But you're don't risk killing other people?
Speaker 2: Well no, I'm not. That's the why we go in
Speaker 2: the in the night, because then there's nobody else on
Speaker 2: the roads. Plus at night you can see oncoming headlights,
Speaker 2: so if for some reason there is somebody coming, we'll
Speaker 2: see them like multiple corners ahead and we'll notice stop.
Speaker 1: Well, uh yeah, no, I think it's just really dumb.
Speaker 1: Well do you are you?
Speaker 4: Do you?
Speaker 1: Are you aware of it? You're gonna die if you
Speaker 1: keep doing this.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna die. I think it's safer
Speaker 2: than you'd imagine. Like, I have a friend that snapped
Speaker 2: an axle while he was drifting and he like fell
Speaker 2: off the cliff basically in his Miata, And I mean
Speaker 2: his car sustained like no major damage. It broke like
Speaker 2: a tirod and he was able to fix it. And
Speaker 2: uh yeah, like it's it sounds really crazy, but when
Speaker 2: you're up there doing it, it's a lot safer than
Speaker 2: you'd imagine it to be.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm actually I so you might have heard this,
Speaker 1: but I had this very very similar phone call a
Speaker 1: few months ago with a guy who liked to ride
Speaker 1: his motorcycle crazy fast. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I remember that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a similar thing. And I told
Speaker 1: that guy he was a fucking idiot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing with motorcycles is there's no huge metal
Speaker 2: shell around you to protect you. It's just you and
Speaker 2: the elements. So that's why I haven't gotten the motorcycle
Speaker 2: because of that. And I think I will die if
Speaker 2: I get a motorcycle. Yeah. I told my friends to
Speaker 2: like take it away from me if I ever do
Speaker 2: get one.
Speaker 1: I'm conflicted about this because I'm telling you not to
Speaker 1: do it, but I also, you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: want you to so that way, I see you on
Speaker 1: on the fuck around and find out Twitter page and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit, I know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you ever see a redion.
Speaker 1: I actually I actually am conflicted about it because I
Speaker 1: actually am conflicted about it because like, well, like there's
Speaker 1: like there are are like extreme sports. There's like professional
Speaker 1: motocross motherfuckers, and like yeah, race car drivers and like
Speaker 1: you know, like the jackass guys, Like there are people
Speaker 1: who professionally have learned to do stupid things, which I
Speaker 1: guess makes it a legitimate thing to do. But like
Speaker 1: why but they do, but they don't do it like
Speaker 1: and like why like just stick to the track, you know,
Speaker 1: I just stick to the track.
Speaker 2: Most of them learned on the street. There's professional drifters too,
Speaker 2: and most of them learned on the streets. Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: not in the mountains, but you know they'll find like
Speaker 2: whatever they have near them roads.
Speaker 1: But just why do you have to do it in
Speaker 1: public where like other people can like get fucked up?
Speaker 2: I mean, because the track is expensive.
Speaker 1: And it's far dumb. That's so dumb, you know. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to think I'm like trying, like
Speaker 2: I'm we're we be we're really cautious about other people.
Speaker 2: We have like people standing on the corner with flashlights
Speaker 2: and they'll you know, like wave the flashlight if they
Speaker 2: see a car coming.
Speaker 1: So we noticed us, And it's just dumb. I just
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like I just don't fuck with
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I really don't. I really like don't.
Speaker 1: I mean for me personally, I don't like to do
Speaker 1: anything where I can get like fucked up, and then
Speaker 1: for other people, it's like it's not cool to do
Speaker 1: things where like, you know, like other people can get
Speaker 1: fucked up. Like imagine someone at the bottom of the mountain.
Speaker 1: They're just taking a little midnight walk and a rolling
Speaker 1: car just crushes them.
Speaker 2: I highly doubt somebody would be walking on those roads
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night. But I see your point.
Speaker 2: I for sure see I've gotten you.
Speaker 1: Know when I was, I just don't like that kind
Speaker 1: of shit. I mean, I'm like I said, I'm addicted
Speaker 1: to watching these videos, and I'm watching these videos and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I do not understand these people who do
Speaker 1: this kind of shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah not I get it. I feel it, but uh.
Speaker 1: But I mean whatever, man, it's it's uh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I already did this
Speaker 1: call with the with the motorcycle guy, and I I
Speaker 1: could eat everything I said to him to you, but
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how worth it that would be. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm it's probably it's probably not a good part of
Speaker 1: those videos. Those like funk around him found out find
Speaker 1: out videos. I feel less bad about them because it
Speaker 1: like it really it really is. People fucked around and
Speaker 1: found out like there's this one video of a dude
Speaker 1: who's like sticking his hand. He's literally sticking his hands
Speaker 1: in a lion cage.
Speaker 2: That's exactly the video. I was thinking, you're gonna say, yes, I.
Speaker 1: Know, you know the video and like he's he's and
Speaker 1: the lion like like like like like bites like like
Speaker 1: like goes at goes it goes at his hand and
Speaker 1: he takes his hand down, and at that point you
Speaker 1: got away free. At that point, most people, most people
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing that in the first place, but most
Speaker 1: people would leave and stop doing it. But this guy
Speaker 1: puts his hand back into the lion's cage. The lion
Speaker 1: grabs his fucking finger, dude, and and rips his finger off,
Speaker 1: and it's like the tendon comes out like a mozzarella stick,
Speaker 1: and you know, normally but he's and it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: the mother for the guy who stuck his hand in
Speaker 1: the lion cage, you know, yeah, yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: a lot of those, like gore videos are like innocent
Speaker 1: people getting hit by cars and ship But that's that's
Speaker 1: the thing I guess I admire about the fuck around him.
Speaker 1: Find out page is that it's it's it really is
Speaker 1: people who you're like, dude, what are you doing? Just
Speaker 1: just jumping off of roofs and ship I don't know anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you seen the ones of like people at
Speaker 2: UH side shows. We're like, it's a big group of
Speaker 2: people like drifting in an intersection and people get like
Speaker 2: hit and they go flying like bowling pins.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that you watch this page and it hasn't
Speaker 1: got you to be like I should stop doing this.
Speaker 1: That's I find that amazing.
Speaker 2: If anything, it just teaches me how to be a
Speaker 2: little bit safer about what I do.
Speaker 1: Well, it was nice knowing you, man. What's your name? Delta? Delta?
Speaker 1: Is anything else you want to say to the people
Speaker 1: of the computer before we go?
Speaker 2: No, thank you for taking my call. I hope you
Speaker 2: have a good rest of your night. Shout out ha GD,
Speaker 2: shout out ypc's shout out Friend's crew.
Speaker 1: I don't know. All those people should stop doing whatever
Speaker 1: they're doing and go with the paint in their room.
Speaker 2: They're just groups of like minded people having fun in
Speaker 2: this world.
Speaker 1: Groups of like minded people making the streets far more
Speaker 1: dangerous for pedestrians and civilian drivers a lot. Ill these
Speaker 1: guys are stopped doing that.
Speaker 3: The ters.

Speaker 1: couple of days before the show, and if you do it,
Speaker 1: I want to see it sick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you, okay.

Speaker 1: Damn, maybe, dude, what if what if the one time
Speaker 1: the I come along is where it goes wrong and
Speaker 1: we all die.
Speaker 2: No, if I ever have passengers in the car, I'm
Speaker 2: like thirty times more safe about it, Like I don't crash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well thirty times zero is zero.
Speaker 2: It would be sick dude. We've got to like, we
Speaker 2: won't even have to go to the mountains. We can
Speaker 2: go to like a big ethnic parking lot where nothing

Speaker 2: the get in the get costume.
Speaker 1: Bro. Yeah, I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play video games
Speaker 1: in my hotel. You can. You can drive off the
Speaker 1: side of a mountain if you so desire. Uh, but
Speaker 1: let me know about the graffiti. Actually sounds so cool.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling Delta, see you around the universe.
Speaker 2: Thanks man, peace, have a good night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm never going to get in the car with
Speaker 1: that guy, but uh, if he wants to, you know,
Speaker 1: drug graffiti on a under a bridge in my name,
Speaker 1: that actually sounds kind of cool, but illegal, and I
Speaker 1: do not endorse illegal behavior. I am a gecko. Hey, folks,
Speaker 1: this is Lyle. I'm jumping in here to talk about
Speaker 1: this next phone call because it's not actually a phone call.
Speaker 1: It's actually a conversation that I had with a person
Speaker 1: in real life. So here's what's going on with me.
Speaker 1: I just I've been trying to leave my house more
Speaker 1: and I used to do I haven't done one of
Speaker 1: these since June of last year in Australia, but I
Speaker 1: used to do a lot of these interviews where I
Speaker 1: would go out into the world with some chairs and
Speaker 1: a zoom recorder and a microphone and my iPhone and
Speaker 1: just set up with a sign that says talk to
Speaker 1: a real gecko and chat with people who are down
Speaker 1: to chat with me. And so this past Monday, I
Speaker 1: went to a little park in Brooklyn and I set
Speaker 1: up all my shit and I talked to some people.
Speaker 1: And you can find the full video of this on
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash Lyle Forever. But
Speaker 1: what I'm about to play for you now is a
Speaker 1: little excerpt from that interview session that I had with
Speaker 1: a dude who works for he like helps film much
Speaker 1: this travel TV show, and he had a bike and
Speaker 1: he had long hair, which you won't be able to
Speaker 1: see because it's just an audio interview, but it was
Speaker 1: a cool conversation. I hope you enjoy it. And I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna do a lot more of these things, so
Speaker 1: get used to it. I hope you like it. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm going out into the universe. I'm talking to everyone.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good and all right. I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: play it and thanks for listening to my podc guest.
Speaker 1: What's up? What's your name?
Speaker 4: I'm Thomas.
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you, Thomas. What's uh? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I picked a very unemployed time to set up in
Speaker 1: the park. It's three thirty pm on a Monday.
Speaker 4: I prefer the term funemployed.
Speaker 1: What are you unemployed? No?
Speaker 4: I do gig work.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, like film and TV?
Speaker 4: Nice?
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 4: So I work on a travel show.
Speaker 1: What travel show?
Speaker 4: It's called Samantha Brown's Places to Love?
Speaker 1: Can I ask you about it? Or is it you
Speaker 1: ndy eight?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Can we can talk about it. We haven't shot anything
Speaker 4: in like, I don't know, five six months.
Speaker 1: So oh okay, because it's like the seasonal Samantha Brown
Speaker 1: say it again.
Speaker 4: Places to Love. It's on PBS.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, Where's she go?
Speaker 4: All over the place? We do a lot of stuff
Speaker 4: in the States. So I started with them like three
Speaker 4: years ago as a photographer and COVID was a thing
Speaker 4: because it was like twenty twenty one, so all of
Speaker 4: our travel was domestic, and then we went to Ireland
Speaker 4: last fall. Sorry, no, twenty twenty two. That was the
Speaker 4: first domestic trip I did with them. Before COVID, they
Speaker 4: did a bit more international stuff, but I just like
Speaker 4: wasn't on the team. But yeah, so I've been with
Speaker 4: them for a few years now. I'm doing like some
Speaker 4: like third camera work as well. So small team kind
Speaker 4: of get to do a lot, which is fun.
Speaker 1: Very nice.
Speaker 4: But yes, we go, uh we start shooting in a
Speaker 4: couple weeks.
Speaker 1: Oh, where you're gonna go?
Speaker 4: Uh, Crystal Coast? Is that what's called the North Carolina
Speaker 4: like coastal North Carolina. It's like I don't know if
Speaker 4: you've ever seen that famous white lighthouse. No, it's like
Speaker 4: one of the North.
Speaker 1: Carolina from Seinfeld.
Speaker 4: I don't think so talking about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the only famous lighthouse.
Speaker 4: That's fair. That's fair. And then we're going to New Orleans,
Speaker 4: which you probably do know.
Speaker 1: I've been. I've been around the States, but I've never
Speaker 1: been in New Orleans.
Speaker 4: It's school town. I've been a little bit. I'm excited
Speaker 4: to go because usually we get like behind the scenes access,
Speaker 4: you know, so like they take us cool places.
Speaker 1: So I what, because I want to do a travel show,
Speaker 1: I do that. I mean, this is my version of
Speaker 1: a travel show. What's she do? It's her show.
Speaker 4: Well, so she's like a legit TV personality. So she
Speaker 4: was on the travel channel for like twenty five years. Oh,
Speaker 4: she had like her own shows and was I think
Speaker 4: I think wanted more control over the content of the show.
Speaker 4: So now she and her husband kind of co produced
Speaker 4: the show. So she's the host, heasy executive producer. They
Speaker 4: do everything kind of in house, which is cool. Do
Speaker 4: they make it put it on YouTube or it's all
Speaker 4: on PBS so it's all free on like on the
Speaker 4: PBS app or their websites. But they own the show,
Speaker 4: which is cool. So they're actually looking to get more
Speaker 4: into YouTube. So this is cool.
Speaker 1: But I'm curious about this because all right, so she's
Speaker 1: been doing this for twenty five years. Right now, after
Speaker 1: twenty five years, I haven't years, I haven't just seen everything.
Speaker 4: You know, fair enough, I really do feel that way.
Speaker 1: I'm really like, after twenty five years, Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: you stay excited? I mean, I guess that's the question
Speaker 1: for her. But I'm curious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough. Now, I mean I've been fortunate enough
Speaker 4: to travel a lot in the last years. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: like on a much smaller scale than her. But but yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know. You definitely start to have to find
Speaker 4: like value in like the little parts of travel and
Speaker 4: the things that like, you know, I think I like people.
Speaker 4: I like meeting people when traveling, And I think there's
Speaker 4: something cool about, like, I don't know, like just you
Speaker 4: interact with people that their life might be totally different
Speaker 4: than yours. Yeah, it might function in a completely different
Speaker 4: sphere of the world, and yet here you are interacting
Speaker 4: for some reason or another. Yeah, I just think that's
Speaker 4: kind of cool. Yeah, And I think you tend to
Speaker 4: cross more paths with more strangers when you're traveling for
Speaker 4: some reason.
Speaker 1: It's true. Yeah, it's true. Do you So do you
Speaker 1: do you travel a lot independently of your job?
Speaker 4: I sometimes it depends, I think. I mean I did
Speaker 4: a big road trip last summer. It was kind of
Speaker 4: like my own personal trip. So I'm from Upstate New York,
Speaker 4: like two hours north here. Cool, So I started there
Speaker 4: and I did like a giant loop all the way
Speaker 4: around the country, like all the way to la and back,
Speaker 4: basically hit the rest of the states. I hadn't been
Speaker 4: too so now I'm at forty nine out of fifty.
Speaker 4: I gotta go to Hawaii.
Speaker 1: But did you go by yourself? Did you go with homies?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So it was cool. It was cool. I did
Speaker 4: I want out for like six weeks. It was like
Speaker 4: ten thousand miles, like it was a big trip. So
Speaker 4: it was I feel like road trips are less like
Speaker 4: vacation and more adventure.
Speaker 1: Did you get Did you get lonely?
Speaker 4: For sure? I mean in the middle there, I kind
Speaker 4: of mixed in some like family and friends, like my
Speaker 4: mom's from Utah, so like I saw some family out
Speaker 4: in Utah I haven't seen a while, and like friends
Speaker 4: up and down California. So and then on the way
Speaker 4: back it was kind of it was a couple of
Speaker 4: chunks in the middle basically where I was like solo.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. I've done a lot of solo travel myself,
Speaker 1: but I feel like America is not great for solo travel.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what you think about that, because
Speaker 1: I mean in like you know, Europe and other places,
Speaker 1: there's like hostels you can stay in and yeah, people
Speaker 1: like that. Dir yeah, yeah, but like and if you
Speaker 1: travel in America, it's just you and your car kind
Speaker 1: of for sure.
Speaker 4: I definitely cant a lot, so I've got a little tent.
Speaker 4: I did sleep in my car a few times, just
Speaker 4: so sometimes it's like easier. Like I went to like
Speaker 4: National Parks, so I would try and get up at
Speaker 4: like sunrise, and it was much easier to like not
Speaker 4: have to pack up a tent that was all kind
Speaker 4: of dewey. I could just like turn on the car
Speaker 4: and just go. But yeah, it was. It was a
Speaker 4: good time. And I think, uh, I don't know, I
Speaker 4: feel like it's a it's a good way to see
Speaker 4: the country if you got the time. I think a
Speaker 4: road trip is like one of the best ways to
Speaker 4: see America because if you're from somewhere else and you
Speaker 4: just come here to New York or just go to
Speaker 4: l A or whatever, like, there's there's a lot to
Speaker 4: be seen. But I think, uh, I don't know, I
Speaker 4: don't think you get like like the heart of it,
Speaker 4: you know. I feel like I feel like there's some
Speaker 4: there's a lot of soul in just like the middle
Speaker 4: of nowhere where?
Speaker 1: Where? Where would you want to go next? Where's your next? Uh?
Speaker 4: Next personal trade? Next person interested in like Central and
Speaker 4: South America. I really don't speak any Spanish, so that
Speaker 4: would be a good start. But one of my really
Speaker 4: really close friends is from Costa Rica, or he lives
Speaker 4: in Costa Rica, so I might start there, go see him,
Speaker 4: But I don't know nothing on the books as of now.
Speaker 4: Staying open.
Speaker 1: What interesting? So I mean, so you you haven't shoed
Speaker 1: anything in six months.
Speaker 4: I mean I've done like other I've been doing other work.
Speaker 4: I haven't just been like okay that. Each winter's been
Speaker 4: a little different. Sometimes it's film stuff. Sometimes it's not
Speaker 4: like I've been doing this. Uh, I've been doing some
Speaker 4: driving for this telcom startup, so it's really random. But
Speaker 4: I like hop in a car and there's a there's
Speaker 4: a box of routers on the roof with SIM cards
Speaker 4: in them like in your phone, and it just every
Speaker 4: sixty seconds like runs a speed test and gets the
Speaker 4: very geospecific data for how fast each carrier is. So
Speaker 4: it's like independent third party data. I guess, like verifying,
Speaker 4: you can call it. But I mean I'm not doing
Speaker 4: any like the tech stuff. I'm just sitting in a
Speaker 4: rental car, like driving around Las Vegas for eight hours
Speaker 4: a day for six days in a row.
Speaker 1: Oh so you you do these gigs where you like
Speaker 1: go to a place. Yeah, yeah, and you're fucking working
Speaker 1: for like six weeks straight and then you come back
Speaker 1: and you chill, so you work and then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I was actually talking about like, I mean,
Speaker 4: I feel like I work. It's it's inconsistent, like up
Speaker 4: and down. But I was talking her friend recently and
Speaker 4: it's kind of like, you know, it's like the the
Speaker 4: go harder go home. I feel like I go hard
Speaker 4: and then go home. I get both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like.
Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of been the flexibility that I've
Speaker 4: enjoyed of film and TV production in general. It's definitely
Speaker 4: a little stressful sometime, and there's no consistency in my
Speaker 4: life at all. But you know, I think for now,
Speaker 4: like it's it's definitely working.
Speaker 1: I you know what. I like that, right? Because uh,
Speaker 1: I like that because if it's saying is go hard
Speaker 1: or go home, but why not both? You go hard
Speaker 1: and then you go back exactly what it should be.
Speaker 4: It's in like waves. Yeah, So I feel like I've
Speaker 4: been very lucky the last few years. Like it's just
Speaker 4: been like, you know, I'm three years out of college,
Speaker 4: so three yeah, twenty twenty one. So I feel like
Speaker 4: I've been very lucky to have like a a fairly
Speaker 4: eventful few years.
Speaker 1: What's making you enjoy life on just.
Speaker 4: A day to day basis, Well, I just moved here. Oh,
Speaker 4: so that's been a change of scenery has been quite nice.
Speaker 4: Let's see. I I yeah, we when would you move here?
Speaker 4: Like the end of February. So me and my buddy,
Speaker 4: I'm living with my friend Patrick.
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 4: Pat?
Speaker 1: Shout out Patrick?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Pat is like my oldest friend and he, uh, you
Speaker 4: and I have no each other since we were like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, eleven and twelve like that, so we
Speaker 4: grew up together and then this is the first time
Speaker 4: we've lived together. So he's gotten a new job, like
Speaker 4: I'm I'm in a new place. We're both in a
Speaker 4: new place. Like it's it's it's been pretty exciting, you know,
Speaker 4: get to bike around new places instead of the same place.
Speaker 1: What what do you hope for the future. What's what's
Speaker 1: keeping you going for the future.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like I uh I don't know,
Speaker 4: like a consistent paycheck would be nice. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: I'm excited to be but the travel shows starting again,
Speaker 4: like I said, so like I'll be I'll be doing
Speaker 4: that again. But uh, I don't know. There's there's part
Speaker 4: of me that's definitely and at a point where I'm
Speaker 4: definitely kind of feeling like a crossroads, like I might take. Well,
Speaker 4: the two roads are like like one to continue what
Speaker 4: I have been doing, like do the like film, like
Speaker 4: he keep sticking with the gig work and like, you know,
Speaker 4: just be a little more stressed for now, and I
Speaker 4: hope it pays off in the future. But I mean
Speaker 4: it's still enjoyable for sure. It's cool experience. But I
Speaker 4: also have an opportunity to do more with this like
Speaker 4: Telcom company that I was talking about. I might do
Speaker 4: more like project management with them.
Speaker 1: So do you make your own movies?
Speaker 4: I make my little like shorts and stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell me about the last movie that you made.
Speaker 4: The last one. I will So the challenge. I set
Speaker 4: myself a challenge for this year to like make one
Speaker 4: video every month okay year, because I I do have
Speaker 4: other things and like I could say like once a
Speaker 4: week and I just like know that happen, so and
Speaker 4: it's like they're there. The concepts are broad. It's not
Speaker 4: meant to be a super like challenging like every every
Speaker 4: one's gonna be a little different. So I made one
Speaker 4: in February that was kind of just like about the
Speaker 4: concept of the leap day and like the idea of
Speaker 4: treating it like a bonus day, and how I think, like,
Speaker 4: you know, we have a lot more control in our
Speaker 4: perception of the world than we think sometimes, and I
Speaker 4: think that there's a lot to be said for saying
Speaker 4: this is a bonus day, like giving yourself the space
Speaker 4: to just like enjoy little things in life.
Speaker 1: Would you do with your leap day?
Speaker 4: I unpacked because it was like five days after, like
Speaker 4: not even it was like a couple days after I
Speaker 4: moved in, So mine mine was not as exciting.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I wasn't like land on a beach or anything, but uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I think, uh it was it was still
Speaker 4: like settling into new place, which felt good. So but yeah,
Speaker 4: in terms of the future, I'm just looking forward to
Speaker 4: seeing what comes next. It's it's exciting to live in
Speaker 4: New York. I always been near New York, you see.
