Speaker 2: talked to. Listen, Josh, yes, holy shit, I remember that.
Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten revenge?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 6: So Grace is kind of putting me on the line
Speaker 6: right there. I have, I just can't remember them.
Speaker 2: I can tell you.
Speaker 6: One I did remember it just now, though, please. So
Speaker 6: I was in class, this was I believe the fourth grade,
Speaker 6: and this one kid would always pick on me, right.
Speaker 6: He would always like throw stuff at like my I
Speaker 6: don't know, he would like flick my ear or like
Speaker 6: throw pencils down my shirt, right. And this happened for
Speaker 6: like an entire year, right, And I never want Like
Speaker 6: I was that kid who didn't want to get in troubles.
Speaker 4: I'd just be like, all right whatever.
Speaker 6: Till finally one day I forgot what he did. But
Speaker 6: he did something he really pissed me off. So one
Speaker 6: day he went to go sharpen his pencil, right, and
Speaker 6: I was like, all right, I'm gonna get my revenge
Speaker 6: on this kid someway or another. So I got one
Speaker 6: of my pencils, right, and I like I didn't. It
Speaker 6: wasn't like a normal like pencil. It was like a
Speaker 6: lead pencil, mechanical pencil. So I kind of took it
Speaker 6: out as as like the leadout as far as I could, right.
Speaker 6: And so when that kid, when this kid went to
Speaker 6: sit right back down, he would like as soon as
Speaker 6: he was about to do something, I like went around
Speaker 6: and I just like stabbed him in the arm. And
Speaker 6: I was like, bro, never do anything to me again.
Speaker 2: Interesting you stabbed him? Did you penetrate the skin?
Speaker 6: I did penetrate the skin.
Speaker 2: There was blood, There was blood.
Speaker 6: My enemies did suffer.
Speaker 2: What was his reaction to being stabbed? Oh?
Speaker 4: He was a bit about.
Speaker 5: He was like, bro, why would you stab me?
Speaker 6: And I told him, I was like, did you don't
Speaker 6: you know, mess it with me out here?
Speaker 5: Buddy?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Why would you start?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, Josh, I'm very shocked because
Speaker 2: I thought you were a sweet, innocent little boy. But
Speaker 2: I had no idea you were capable of such malice.
Speaker 6: I am you know.
Speaker 2: Are you two still friends?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 6: No, I have no idea. What happened to that kid?
Speaker 2: Do you think he's still alive?
Speaker 6: I I I would hope so, because you can't go
Speaker 6: around just stabbing people and thinking that they may not
Speaker 6: try to take revenge out on you. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 6: I still look over my shoulder to this day.
Speaker 2: I'd continue to be careful, Josh, but I will like
Speaker 2: your cover. I like what you're doing here. You're walking
Speaker 2: around with your with your little spinner hat and your
Speaker 2: lollypop as if you wouldn't heard a fly. So I'm
Speaker 2: already looking to you as the person to go revenge on.
Speaker 2: I like that, Josh. Well listen, thank you so much
Speaker 2: for sharing, and continue to watch your back absolutely.
Speaker 6: Kick you have a wonderful day.
Speaker 4: What about my revenge story?
Speaker 8: Ever goes on the line, making every night ever goes?
Speaker 8: I was teaching you all from Trent.
Speaker 2: Trent, Hello, my friend, how are you? Trent?
Speaker 9: I'm fantastic?
Speaker 5: How are you?
Speaker 2: You're fantastic? Are you fantastic? Anything particularly going on? Or
Speaker 2: are you just saying that? Are you?
Speaker 7: Do you are?
Speaker 2: Do you actually feel fantastic? Or was that just sort
Speaker 2: of you wanted to respond enthusiastically to me.
Speaker 9: I feel mildly fantastic. I just woke up from a
Speaker 9: nap and and enjoying my day off.
Speaker 2: What do you do on your days on?
Speaker 9: I work at guitar center, and I'm also a musician
Speaker 9: on the sign.
Speaker 2: What kind of music do you play?
Speaker 9: I'm in a psych rock band, as in of the
Speaker 9: psychedelic variety.
Speaker 2: You sound exactly like all the things that you're saying
Speaker 2: right now. Good.
Speaker 9: I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I like you know. I like that because it would
Speaker 2: be weird, that would make.
Speaker 9: Sense, that would make me an improster.
Speaker 5: Otherwise.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you ever say something and
Speaker 2: someone says you would say that happened.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I think that's happened before.
Speaker 2: I hate that expression because everything I say is something
Speaker 2: I would say.
Speaker 9: That's a fact. Yeah, that's just reality.
Speaker 2: Listen, Trent, have you ever gotten revenge?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I have. I'm trying to think
Speaker 9: of a specific instance. Let me jog my memory here
Speaker 9: for a second.
Speaker 2: Maybe someone came in, they stole one of your guitars,
Speaker 2: so you went to steal one of their guitars. Someone
Speaker 2: you took acid, and a dog called you fat, and
Speaker 2: so you had tracked down the dog, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: a real dog.
Speaker 9: That would be That would be a that would be
Speaker 9: a story worth hearing. But I think my story is
Speaker 9: probably lesson. I'm not much of a vindictive person.
Speaker 2: No, you don't say.
Speaker 9: I've definitely been wrong before and had the idea of revenge.
Speaker 9: So I've had my house robbed before at a point
Speaker 9: in time where I was living a less than proper lifestyle,
Speaker 9: and I was on a mission to find out who
Speaker 9: did it, and I was gonna beat the living shit
Speaker 9: out of them. But I never made it around to it.
Speaker 9: The only time, the only instance that's coming to mind,
Speaker 9: revenge wise, was Shenanigan's heighs like middle school wise.
Speaker 2: Would you say, by the way, when you say a
Speaker 2: less than proper life, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 9: You know, I've not always done the most socially acceptable things.
Speaker 2: Socially acceptable by you know what definition?
Speaker 7: I mean?
Speaker 2: Were you living in a U.
Speaker 7: A van?
Speaker 2: Were you living in a crackhouse? Socially acceptable? On what level?
Speaker 5: M I basically operated the trap house?
Speaker 9: Okay, for selling illegal substances at a point in time.
Speaker 2: Okay, someone who the person that robbed you were they
Speaker 2: sort of in your circle? So when you met the we.
Speaker 9: I think I believe it was someone that we were
Speaker 9: friends with who was an addict and robbed us for
Speaker 9: what you know, for our money. And et cetera, and
Speaker 9: just out of jealousy, as people do that anymore.
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry you were gonna say so. You said
Speaker 2: he robbed out of jealousy.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah. You know when when you're when you're
Speaker 9: making money and doing things, people see that and want
Speaker 9: what you have.
Speaker 7: That's just.
Speaker 9: An unfortunate part of human nature I found.
Speaker 2: And you don't. You don't do these these things anymore, right.
Speaker 9: No, yeah, and hopefully it's outside the statute of limitations
Speaker 9: by now, A long time ago.
Speaker 2: So what got you out of game? Trent?
Speaker 9: At situations like that? That was not the only time
Speaker 9: our house got robbed either.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 2: Was that sort of the the catalyst for change.
Speaker 9: In that regard? Yeah, I still did shitty things to
Speaker 9: myself for years to come, but past, hopefully past that
Speaker 9: part of life.
Speaker 2: Now these these these your past life is something you
Speaker 2: talk about in your music at all.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, see. I also have a solo project
Speaker 9: where I do like folk folk punk songs and a
Speaker 9: lot of them about like depression, you know, mental health, drug,
Speaker 9: drug abuse, addiction, stuff like that. So that's a It's
Speaker 9: a cathartic tool for sure.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's my therapy.
Speaker 9: Get go so to speak.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that. Where we where can we listen to
Speaker 2: your music? Trent?
Speaker 9: I actually have a new album coming out on May,
Speaker 9: which is next week. It's called buck Till pay Day
Speaker 9: fucking and that'll beyday. Buck till pay Day? You are correct?
Speaker 9: What do you think? How does that grab you?
Speaker 2: I like it? It makes sense. I mean, don't you.
Speaker 2: Don't you have trouble with like the the getting into
Speaker 2: Spotify listings or whatever if you have fucking the title.
Speaker 9: No, Spotify is fully down with it. I go through
Speaker 9: like distro kid, which is a online distribution site for
Speaker 9: like music purposes, that gets you know, you subscribe to
Speaker 9: that and then you can get it out through Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, switch,
Speaker 9: et cetera. And then it collects, it collects revenue services
Speaker 9: for you and shit.
Speaker 2: Before we go, just I mean, briefly, what's the the
Speaker 2: main sentiments that you want people to take away when
Speaker 2: they listen to fuck Till pay Day?
Speaker 9: If you listen to it, just take a moment to
Speaker 9: reflect on life in all of its various circumstances and
Speaker 9: try and come away with something positive and you know it,
Speaker 9: just don't be a dick.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for sharing train. You have
Speaker 2: a good rest of the night.
Speaker 1: Thank you, wile you too, how from Flora Flora? Yeah, Hi,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe.
Speaker 7: I got through.
Speaker 2: How you doing? Tell me everything good?
Speaker 5: Oh wait?
Speaker 1: Sorry, what were you going to ask?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna ask anything.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I have a good revenge story, please, Okay.
Speaker 1: I had a really shitty neighbor in college, like woke
Speaker 1: me up at two in the morning one time, banging
Speaker 1: on my door. He was bleeding in his underwear. He
Speaker 1: wanted to borrow a screwdriver to take his bathroom door
Speaker 1: off the hinge. So yeah, like worst thahbor ever, And
Speaker 1: so I got the best petty revenge ever, which was
Speaker 1: one night.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I want to hear the rest of your story. But
Speaker 2: all right, a thing of your neighbor knocks on your
Speaker 2: door to try to borrow a screwdriver late at night.
Speaker 2: I can see where that's annoying. But you completely just
Speaker 2: glossed over the part where he was bleeding from his underwear.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he was in his underwear. He was bleeding
Speaker 1: because he had tried to kick in his own bathroom door.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh that's like, how out of it he was just
Speaker 1: a drunk frat guy, you know, drunk frat guy thing.
Speaker 2: So how did you enact your revenge on him?
Speaker 1: I waited, you know, we don't get angry in the moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't get angry in the moment. I wish that would
Speaker 1: have been the better revenge, but yeah, I waited till
Speaker 1: the next weekend whenever him and this frat guy friends
Speaker 1: got drunk again outside and he left his TV outside
Speaker 1: and I didn't take the TV. I just took the
Speaker 1: power chord. Hm hmm, like just pull the power cord
Speaker 1: out of the back of it and then yep, just
Speaker 1: letting them try and figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's interesting because that's just it's not
Speaker 2: too extreme. It's not like I fucking smashed this guy's
Speaker 2: TV in Yeah. No, no, I'm not just annoying enough. Yeah,
Speaker 2: got like expensive, just annoying enough.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 2: But I also believe that you fucked yourself. I actually
Speaker 2: all in, Oh, I believe you did yourself service because
Speaker 2: you know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Flora, lay it on me.
Speaker 2: You know what's gonna happen is a bloody pussy jizzy,
Speaker 2: sweaty your neighbor is going to cover it in jiz
Speaker 2: and blood and sweat and come is gonna knock on
Speaker 2: your door at three o'clock in the morning saying, hey,
Speaker 2: can I borrow a power cable from a TV? And
Speaker 2: then in that moment you're gonna be like, damn, I
Speaker 2: wish I had just let it go.
Speaker 1: You know I had. I've moved since then. But you
Speaker 1: know that doesn't sound like a bad time though, you
Speaker 1: know it's like another story, it's another chapter.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Flora, before we go, how are the new
Speaker 2: neighbors much better?
Speaker 1: Much much better? Not that crazy.
Speaker 2: Driver? If they came to you at three o'clock in the.
Speaker 1: Morning, I would help them with whatever they're like they
Speaker 1: needed the screwdriver for.
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely it's welled to hear that, Flora. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for sharing.
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Thanks for having me on Get have
Speaker 1: a good night.
Speaker 11: How from Garrison?
Speaker 2: Garrison?
Speaker 5: Hello, get you, Hey Garrison, go get.
Speaker 2: Not a whole lot? What's up with you?
Speaker 5: Oh man? I just want to talk about revenge. Man,
Speaker 5: I think I got a revenge story for you.
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me at dog.
Speaker 5: So I weren't to look back deep on this one.
Speaker 5: But when I was young, I went to like this daycare. Right,
Speaker 5: So both my parents work, so I was at this
Speaker 5: place kind of like both day it's kind of like
Speaker 5: Lord of the Flies. But the kids and you know,
Speaker 5: we just kind of wait around the wall and there
Speaker 5: was just uh, there's this guy and we'll call them right,
Speaker 5: and that Max was a lot SiO me Like, I was.
Speaker 2: Just like a little you're cutting it. You're cutting out
Speaker 2: a little bit here and there.
Speaker 5: Oh, talking about bad. I'm walking around.
Speaker 2: I can tell you're excited. Oh, it's a little bit better.
Speaker 5: I'm charged up.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So you're in a day care facility
Speaker 2: that has very little to no adult surveillance.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is think about like baby Lord of the Flies.
Speaker 2: It's pretty accurate, Baby Lord of the Flies. I'm noticing
Speaker 2: a trend where in you know, a lot of our
Speaker 2: a lot of our revenge stories are about things that happened, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, in people's youth, which I think is good.
Speaker 2: I I you know, I I talked earlier at the
Speaker 2: very beginning of the stream about how I don't really
Speaker 2: have my you know, current thoughts about revenge. But I
Speaker 2: think one thing I've learned is that you know, as
Speaker 2: as maturity increases, desire for revenge tends to decrease. If I,
Speaker 2: if I had to, you know, make a judgment based
Speaker 2: upon the data that I've received this evening. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you were at the thing, you were at daycare center.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I mean just I mean, this guy was
Speaker 5: just bigger than me. Man, Like, he was just a
Speaker 5: he's just an asshole. Like everything I brought there he
Speaker 5: would just take from me if he liked it or sure,
Speaker 5: you know, like if like if I like Pokemon, like
Speaker 5: I had, like you know, the Pokemon games of my
Speaker 5: game boy, and like, you know, if he wanted to play, man,
Speaker 5: he would just come up and take it, like whenever he.
Speaker 2: Wanted, he commandeered you through force.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was. He was bigger than me.
Speaker 2: Like he just was straight up.
Speaker 5: And so you know, Tom goes on and I don't
Speaker 5: really see him or think about him that much. And
Speaker 5: I mean, but this went on, I mean for days
Speaker 5: and weeks and months, and it just you know, it
Speaker 5: kind of took its toll. And then you just go by.
Speaker 5: You know, I go to middle school or I almost school,
Speaker 5: middle school, high school, but I get it, you know,
Speaker 5: I get pretty big man like I become. I played
Speaker 5: you know, competitive for ill went to D one football college.
Speaker 5: So high school, I was a big dude. And walking
Speaker 5: through the cafeteria one day in my high school, and
Speaker 5: I mean there was probably I mean there's a thousand
Speaker 5: kids in my graduating class, and so there's a lot
Speaker 5: of kids in this cafeteria. And I was just walking
Speaker 5: and like in that crowd, I saw this kid. I
Speaker 5: saw him Max. And I don't know how I saw him.
Speaker 5: I don't know what made him stand out to me,
Speaker 5: but like, deep, deep down, dog, I knew this was Max.
Speaker 5: And so I don't even know, like I didn't even hesitate.
Speaker 5: I didn't need something had to be done. And so
Speaker 5: I told him I was walking away. I was like,
Speaker 5: you know, hold on, man, So I go, I just
Speaker 5: march over there, and he was eating pudding and I
Speaker 5: tapped him on the shoulder, yeah you know. And so
Speaker 5: I tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at
Speaker 5: the rest and are you Max? And he looked up
Speaker 5: and I mean, I'm a behemoth now, and this kid
Speaker 5: is like stole shrimp. He's almost the same size, okay, right,
Speaker 5: And so immediately in his eyes, his eyes got big,
Speaker 5: and I looked at him and I that, do you
Speaker 5: remember me? And he kind of like nodded, and I
Speaker 5: just took his hand and I just shoved it into
Speaker 5: his putting top like as hard as I could.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's horrible. I hate that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was feel good at that, right,
Speaker 5: So my revenge resulted in me becoming the thing that
Speaker 5: I was revenging against.
Speaker 2: Interesting, now, I mean, you know, I mean, well, here's
Speaker 2: why I hate this is because I mean to carry on.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the difference here? I mean this this
Speaker 2: His initial bullying of you was when you were in
Speaker 2: elementary school, right, and then in high school. To carry
Speaker 2: those emotions for that.
Speaker 5: Long and I can't describe it, must say.
Speaker 2: That that's take a toll on you. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: that that's not productive for anyone.
Speaker 5: Well, you don't even know you have those emotions and
Speaker 5: until you're in the moment and those emotions show up
Speaker 5: at it nowhere and I didn't even know I thought
Speaker 5: about that part of my life.
Speaker 2: Listen, man, I've had people, you know, in middle school,
Speaker 2: I had people, uh you know with whom I had
Speaker 2: contentious relationships. And then later on in my life, as
Speaker 2: we mature. You know, I started rendezvous with them, we
Speaker 2: actually become friends. I mean that that feels so much
Speaker 2: better than you know, you know, shove shove this guy's
Speaker 2: face and his pudding cup for no reason.
Speaker 5: Oh why, It's not something I'm proud of again. I mean,
Speaker 5: like you said earlier, as we mature, we want to
Speaker 5: is it not behavior we typically chase? Right? I don't
Speaker 5: feel good about it, but it I mean, it's almost
Speaker 5: like when I got done with it, I didn't even
Speaker 5: know I hadn't done it until it was open. I
Speaker 5: couldn't even think this.
Speaker 2: This seems to me as though you just kind of,
Speaker 2: I don't know this, have this impulsive nature.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I would say necessarily impulsive. But I
Speaker 5: think I followed my Yeah, I guess maybe. I mean
Speaker 5: I didn't. I just know that. It's like I didn't
Speaker 5: even know when I walked over there that's what I
Speaker 5: was gonna do. But I just knew something had to
Speaker 5: be done to this guy, and that was just a
Speaker 5: feeling I followed over there.
Speaker 2: Mmmm, well, how did he react?
Speaker 5: He didn't really. Everyone kind of acted confused because, like
Speaker 5: you said, this is a pretty deep seated grudge and
Speaker 5: I walked away, and I don't think I ever saw
Speaker 5: him again.
Speaker 2: You know, that could have been a friendship.
Speaker 6: It could have.
Speaker 2: You could have used him as an ally. Maybe I
Speaker 2: could have ken How old do you know?
Speaker 5: I'm twenty nine, so this was I mean, this was
Speaker 5: a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Okay, then how old is say? Probably also twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll run into each other one day and you'll rekindle.
Speaker 5: Ohso, I mean, so you know, just the main method
Speaker 5: for me was the revenge I took ended up in
Speaker 5: me being the thing that I was upset about to
Speaker 5: begin with. And it's just a vicious cycle.
Speaker 7: That can happen.
Speaker 2: Well before we go, Do you feel as though you
Speaker 2: are still that thing now?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not good.
Speaker 2: Good? How would you what would you say you are now?
Speaker 5: I would say I'm a more inward looking person. No,
Speaker 5: not as rash, not as hot headed. I think that,
Speaker 5: you know. I don't sugarcoat things, even for myself. I'm
Speaker 5: pretty realistic. That's why I don't mind talk about stuff
Speaker 5: like this when saying, you know, I'm not that person anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that you move on. I'm glad
Speaker 2: to hear that you've realized the error of your ways.
Speaker 2: I'm glad hither you have changed who you are as
Speaker 2: a result of reevaluating your past decisions that were not
Speaker 2: embarrassed of our past selves. It means we're not growing.
Speaker 2: So I commend you. Which your name was, Garrison? Do

Speaker 2: me about someone who you'd like to get revenge on. M.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. I'm just like you know, I
Speaker 4: just try to move past it.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not really really on its much.
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I just think about some key
Speaker 4: fool that you know may have hurt my feelings in
Speaker 4: the past.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 4: The person that hurt your feelings, well, I did this
Speaker 4: guy for two years and he hurt my feelings pretty bad.
Speaker 4: He just like broke a few months ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, m did he did? He hurt?
Speaker 10: Why?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 2: What was the cause of the breakup? If you don't
Speaker 2: mind me asking.
Speaker 4: He's a jerk, but uh, there's a lot of things
Speaker 4: that led up to it, some serious things. But you know,
Speaker 4: the one that finally broke the camel's back was sad
Speaker 4: he was just talking to too many other girls. I
Speaker 4: couldn't I couldn't deal with this.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. You felt like you were being held on
Speaker 2: reserve or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was like that's supposed to be like
Speaker 4: the number one, you know, like first team.
Speaker 2: Well the I mean, did you go in to this
Speaker 2: with sort of? I mean, was it an open relationship
Speaker 2: in which you know the there how did you talk
Speaker 2: to other people? Or was fully closed?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: It was closed, like if I was to talk to
Speaker 4: someone else it would be a big problem, which it
Speaker 4: has been even afterwards, because I was like, Okay, well
Speaker 4: you don't want to date me, then you know, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go and find a new man. And I did,
Speaker 4: and you know he didn't. He's upset about that, and how.
Speaker 2: Are things going with him.
Speaker 4: The new boy really good. It's great, good, kind of
Speaker 4: way better. So I think that's kind of revenge in
Speaker 4: itself too.
Speaker 2: I like that. I think that that's a good way
Speaker 2: of getting revenge to move on amicably, to find a
Speaker 2: new relationship, or even to invest more in yourself as
Speaker 2: you move forward into your life.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think I'm also investing in myself right now because
Speaker 4: this guy is a lot nicer to me too, and
Speaker 4: it's just you know, I feel happier.
Speaker 12: I feel like that.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy to hear that. Emma, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for sharing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really glad I got to share with.
Speaker 7: You, Lyle.
Speaker 2: I'm glad we got to talk to I'm a get
Speaker 2: go on the computer. I never thought I would be.
Speaker 2: I never thought this could happen in a million years,
Speaker 2: and it did.
Speaker 4: I really love I really love what you do. It's awesome.
Speaker 4: I listened to your podcast like all day day. I'm
Speaker 4: catching up.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, Well, thank you so much for being a
Speaker 2: part of the GAK nation. And I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would love to talk again.
Speaker 1: Who who call from?
Speaker 5: Sam?
Speaker 11: Sam?
Speaker 5: Hey? What's up?
Speaker 2: How old are you? Sam?
Speaker 11: Nineteen?
Speaker 2: You're nineteen. You're nineteen thousand years old. It's very old.
Speaker 2: You might be older a great Wall of China.
Speaker 11: Definitely. I have I have two revenge stories. One of
Speaker 11: them has to do with laxatives and the other one
Speaker 11: has to do with an old teacher of mine. Which
Speaker 11: when would you like to hear?
Speaker 2: Chat? What do you want to hear? I do you
Speaker 2: want to hear about the laxatives of the teacher?
Speaker 11: Hmmm, they're deciding. I'm telling you right now, don't. I
Speaker 11: would not recommend investing in cryptocurrency on a large scale.
Speaker 11: It's not very controllable. What has always been worth value
Speaker 11: is precious metals and property. So I would say, buy
Speaker 11: a plot of land or something, or get some silver
Speaker 11: or gold.
Speaker 2: That's always silver going for these days.
Speaker 11: By the ounce or by the pound, usually botten ounces.
Speaker 2: It's just silver.
Speaker 11: Silver. Right now for an ounce, it's about twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 11: Last last May when I bought some, it was nineteen dollars,
Speaker 11: and it's big going up again.
Speaker 2: You know what's cool about I think buying gold?
Speaker 11: What's that?
Speaker 2: Did you get to own gold?
Speaker 11: Yeah? I have a little bit of gold, and I'm telling.
Speaker 2: You, yeah, I have a little bit of gold.
Speaker 11: You feel pretty powerful.
Speaker 2: It makes you feel like dragon or something.
Speaker 11: Or a getto or a.
Speaker 5: Story.
Speaker 11: Okay, lax in the story. So back in high school
Speaker 11: for four years I worked in a steakhouse. It was
Speaker 11: a small steakhouse. I've come from a small area. So
Speaker 11: it was three cooks in the back, four waitresses, and
Speaker 11: one guy at front. The one guy at print, he
Speaker 11: would let's just call him Mark for this, not his
Speaker 11: actual name. Mark would like to uh drink about thirteen
Speaker 11: Doctor Pepper's every single ship. And the thing is, our
Speaker 11: boss said, you can have it pop and everything without
Speaker 11: having to pay for it's just keep it to a
Speaker 11: reasonable amount. After three weeks of thirteen doctor Pepper's, the
Speaker 11: day they decided to charge every single employee night a
Speaker 11: dollar for every can. And this honestly pissed us all
Speaker 11: off because we were having like one, maybe two cans.
Speaker 11: So what we decided to do is I set a
Speaker 11: trap for him. I know where he kept the Doctor
Speaker 11: Pepper he drank from. So me and the two guys
Speaker 11: in the back, on a slow day, we got some
Speaker 11: xlax from the store across the street, made a super
Speaker 11: concentrated dose and cracked up in a can of his
Speaker 11: doctor pepper and mixed it in. Somehow he was stup
Speaker 11: enough to see an open can of doctor pepper and say, hey,
Speaker 11: this looks safe. Let's drink that. Sure, we were waiting
Speaker 11: for it to kick in. We didn't know how strong
Speaker 11: it was. We're all giggling like a bunch of hassles,
Speaker 11: and back of the kitchen, so we were sit there.
Speaker 11: All of a sudden he's checking someone out from the restaurant,
Speaker 11: and all of a sudden you just see his face
Speaker 11: like his soul left from his eyes and was about
Speaker 11: to shoot out his ass. Like he then admitted to
Speaker 11: us years later, after this is all funny, man, he
Speaker 11: shipped himself his pants there, shipped himself while walking back
Speaker 11: to the kitchen, and then like completely destroyed the toilet
Speaker 11: in the back.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why, all right, So he drank so
Speaker 2: much doctor pepper that he ruined the free doctor Pepper party.
Speaker 11: And he was an ass that I should have prefaced
Speaker 11: that he was also an ass. This is just the
Speaker 11: final nail in the coffee.
Speaker 2: Okay, because if one if because look having to pay
Speaker 2: a dollar, first of all, a dollar for a can
Speaker 2: if doctor pepper incredibly reasonable.
Speaker 11: Yes, but the needs of the wages we made it
Speaker 11: by restaurants and how much they bought it for it
Speaker 11: wasn't But still now he wasn't asked before.
Speaker 2: This did he do anything to you besides the doctor Pepper,
Speaker 2: because that seems kind of kind of uh uh.
Speaker 11: You know, not that bad excessive. Uh yeah, we thought
Speaker 11: that too, and then uh we realized him. He would
Speaker 11: show up late about every single ship he was. He
Speaker 11: was a family member of the people who owned the
Speaker 11: restaurant who were never there, so we really couldn't touch him.
Speaker 11: He could do exactly whatever he wanted to and he
Speaker 11: would still make about five bucks more than that's an hour.
Speaker 2: What did you do to the teacher? Now, I'm curious, Okay,
Speaker 2: the teacher, I prefer the story.
Speaker 11: No, No, okay, good No, No, I'm legally stating right now.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 2: I think there's going to come a time where someone's
Speaker 2: gonna call into the stream.
Speaker 11: Is anybody recording confess to.
Speaker 2: Me that they've murdered someone? And I just, I just
Speaker 2: I want to make sure right now that that doesn't happen,
Speaker 2: because then I'm going to be an accomplished to it,
Speaker 2: and I don't want to get involved in anyone's court
Speaker 2: case or anything.
Speaker 11: So I am one.
Speaker 2: This person that you didn't kill, but you did something
Speaker 2: else to them that was not as bad.
Speaker 11: Okay, let's call her missus Roberts for this. This is
Speaker 11: in her actual name. So this was eighth grade year
Speaker 11: and in middle school, we were feeling pretty good. We're
Speaker 11: about to go to high school. And this one teacher,
Speaker 11: she was known for being absolutely the meanest teacher that
Speaker 11: any of us ever knew. She Yeah, why didn't even
Speaker 11: go to a Catholic school and she acted like a
Speaker 11: Catholic teacher, like she would if you fell asleep in
Speaker 11: class and got help her the entire fucking history class
Speaker 11: with a giant's snooze book. She would smack your fingers
Speaker 11: with a yardstick. Uh, if you weren't paying attention, like
Speaker 11: looking at the window, she's smacking in the back.
Speaker 12: Of the head with the yard stick.
Speaker 11: Sure, then she would call it the one I'm a
Speaker 11: kid caught the stick and threw it, called the principal,
Speaker 11: who she may call the police and say the kid
Speaker 11: tried to attack her.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, that's totally bad ass. She would hit
Speaker 2: people with a stick and then the kid just took
Speaker 2: the stick.
Speaker 11: Yeah. No, it was honestly like that, Oh what is it?
Speaker 2: Ultimate instinct right up with how long the fucking nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2: You can't hate the kids with a stick as a teacher.
Speaker 11: No, she She was an older teacher and it was
Speaker 11: a small school and.
Speaker 2: It kind of got away with it. What the fuck?
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, it was. It was a bad principal, bad
Speaker 11: system at the time. In the last two years before that,
Speaker 11: we had a lot of new teachers and faculty move around,
Speaker 11: so no one was really tray.
Speaker 2: Where do you live? Does just no one give a
Speaker 2: ship out there?
Speaker 11: It's not that we don't give a ship where It
Speaker 11: just seemed to be tougher to it because we have
Speaker 11: so many freaking teachers smacking us with sticks.
Speaker 2: Okay, a T shirt.
Speaker 11: So we set up somewhat of a staying operation, all
Speaker 11: of us who had iPhones. We set it up in
Speaker 11: our jackets or shirt like taped into our chests or
Speaker 11: something hit record to the camera was shooting like it
Speaker 11: was sticking out one of our butonholes or something on
Speaker 11: our shirt, so we could see it in front of
Speaker 11: us for a whole day. And this was one of
Speaker 11: the worst days. One of those scenes, tried to provoke
Speaker 11: her to do something, and then we cheated a bunch
Speaker 11: of stuff. She hit kids, she would check sticks at people,
Speaker 11: all sorts of stuff, and then she would just yell
Speaker 11: and scream at the kids for doing nothing.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 11: Then we ended up sending it to the cops. We
Speaker 11: brought it straight to the sheriff's office, and not only
Speaker 11: did she get fired, but she got brought up in
Speaker 11: a court where we had to be witnesses for it
Speaker 11: on child abuse in the school. And then it ended
Speaker 11: up being about the entire class.
Speaker 2: The way that the story was phrased was a lot more. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, we're abused by your teacher and you called
Speaker 2: the police on her. But you may seem like you
Speaker 2: were gonna like put to put the bubblegum into her something.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 11: No, No, she was just a mean old lady.
Speaker 2: But she can't hit kids anymore.
Speaker 11: Nope. I'm pretty sure she got out of prison about
Speaker 11: a year ago or so. I cannot remember.
Speaker 2: Well, she's coming for your as I hope they did.
Speaker 2: They put about this protection program or else you're gonna
Speaker 2: wake up with the middle of the night with a
Speaker 2: with a yard stick up your ass, my friend.
Speaker 11: Dude, she's got to be like ninety three at this point.
Speaker 11: I don't know why she was still teaching.
Speaker 2: Well listen, thank you for sharing that story. And I
Speaker 2: hope that you live to uh not. I hope that
Speaker 2: she doesn't kill you with a stick.
Speaker 11: As do I. But I'll be ready.
Speaker 2: Have a good day you too. Mentic care but.
Speaker 3: All from Mariah Mariah.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hey, what's up, Mariah?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm a gecko? Mariah.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's wonderful. I actually.
Speaker 2: It's you know, it is nice, it's it's it's good.
Speaker 2: I think when I I mean, I don't know how
Speaker 2: long I'll live. But if I'm like eighty, I think
Speaker 2: when I look back on my life, I'll be like,
Speaker 2: you know, I had that once I had, you know,
Speaker 2: that time in my life in which I was a gecko.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll be a gecko until I die. But at
Speaker 2: the very least, I've carved out this amount of time
Speaker 2: of my life to be a get Go. I don't
Speaker 2: know how long it'll last.
Speaker 3: I've never yeah, I've never thought about that. I've never
Speaker 3: googled how long a get go lives?
Speaker 2: Well, how long do you think you're gonna live? When
Speaker 2: do you think you when do you want to die?
Speaker 2: How old are you now?
Speaker 3: I'm twenty nine, you're.
Speaker 2: Twenty nine, and how long? How much longer you want
Speaker 2: to go?
Speaker 3: I've made it so much farther than I thought.
Speaker 2: That's good. Okay, So everything's just a bonus.
Speaker 3: For you now at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of how I feel, too, Like you
Speaker 2: ever read it, Like sometimes I'll read about you know,
Speaker 2: like in like you know, less developed countries where like
Speaker 2: the lifespan is shorter, and I'm like, damn, you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like I got everything else is a bonus,
Speaker 2: Like why should I get to live longer than this
Speaker 2: guy who died? You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Or like in the past, I feel like people
Speaker 3: used to be like, oh my gosh, you're twenty nine.
Speaker 3: You're old.
Speaker 2: And when you think of like if you say the
Speaker 2: average human lives to eighty, I fin like twenty nine
Speaker 2: is pretty You're not even halfway there yet, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you would actually be like ninety nine percent of the
Speaker 2: way there if you got hit by a car tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Right right right, I'm like a heavy smoker.
Speaker 2: So, m do you do you like being twenty nine.
Speaker 3: It's fine. I'm glad I'm not in my early twenties
Speaker 3: during the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Oh why is that?
Speaker 3: Because I got to have more fun then, so I
Speaker 3: got that out of my system a little bit.
Speaker 2: M What did you do during the pandemic? Because it's
Speaker 2: twenty nine year olds?
Speaker 13: Hmm?
Speaker 11: You know what?
Speaker 3: I really got into flowers and plants.
Speaker 2: Flowers and plants. It's good. It's good to have a hobby.
Speaker 2: Did you do you do you have a job of
Speaker 2: any kinds?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Flowers and plants. That's aw us, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: I'm a hairstylist, so so sort of but not really.
Speaker 2: I guess the hair grows in the same way that
Speaker 2: a plant does.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all It can all be art.
Speaker 2: I think so too. I think every there's a there's
Speaker 2: kind of an art to everything, if you think about it.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: What's your name again?
Speaker 3: Mariah?
Speaker 2: Mariah? Yes, have you ever gotten revenge?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: My god? Yes, but I would not super be able
Speaker 3: to share what it was. But it was good.
Speaker 2: It was what Maria? What the hell? Why would you?
Speaker 3: I know, I feel so bad.
Speaker 2: I'm mad at what did you do? Tell us?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: The first thing was terrible, but then the second thing
Speaker 3: helped me get my husband, So I'm okay about the
Speaker 3: second thing.
Speaker 2: All right, what's the first thing?
Speaker 3: Oh see, the first thing is the one that would
Speaker 3: just be like, but I will say that has been
Speaker 3: sort of resolved. So with getting the revenge, there was healing.
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 3: So it was not super safe, So it wasn't the
Speaker 3: best thing to say to you right now, gek, but
Speaker 3: it is something that at this point was I'm healed
Speaker 3: from which is good?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it dangerous.
Speaker 3: A little bit? But it was family stuff. So did
Speaker 3: you kill one of the things you get stuck with? No,
Speaker 3: it was super awesome. I didn't kill anyone.
Speaker 2: How what I what's your Mariah? Mariah? Why would you
Speaker 2: call in to tell me that you can't tell me
Speaker 2: a story?
Speaker 3: Okay, So there was a situation where something was not
Speaker 3: pointy and I didn't expect it to like stick, but
Speaker 3: it did stick.
Speaker 7: Who did you say?
Speaker 3: It was like not intended to be violent.
Speaker 5: It was like a fork situation.
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 10: Pretty much?
Speaker 3: Just that that's the most.
Speaker 4: I could say.
Speaker 2: Okay, you stabbed someone? No, who did you stab?
Speaker 7: Wait?
Speaker 2: Why did you stabbing? Someone result in you being with
Speaker 2: your husband.
Speaker 3: Now, no, that's the second thing. So that's a whole different,
Speaker 3: completely kind of revenge. But that ended up being happy
Speaker 3: as well. Both things ended up being really happy.
Speaker 2: Wait, so these things aren't related.
Speaker 3: No, completely unrelated.
Speaker 2: All right, So you stabbed someone for what did? What
Speaker 2: did the person you stabbed do to you to make
Speaker 2: you stab them?
Speaker 3: It was actually self defense, thank god. So I was okay,
Speaker 3: it was a fight situation, You got into a fight, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: it was domestic.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh okay, sure, sure, sure, all right, So what
Speaker 2: happened with your husband? What was the second thing?
Speaker 3: So the second thing was just weird because I started dating.
Speaker 3: So I'm twenty nine now, but I started dating my
Speaker 3: husband at sixteen, so at that time there were a
Speaker 3: lot of like shenanigans and hijinks that happened before that.
Speaker 2: What kind of shenanigans and hijinks?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it was just a whole world of
Speaker 3: shenanigans and hyjinks, which again makes me happy that I
Speaker 3: got to do all those fun things and end up
Speaker 3: being happy and settled.
Speaker 2: Now, so you guys were so you've been dat You've
Speaker 2: been with your husbands for like thirteen years. Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: Rock and Roll. Is it going well?
Speaker 3: It's going really well. Yeah, we just had our three
Speaker 3: year wedding anniversary.
Speaker 2: Congratulations. Wait what was the revenge?
Speaker 3: Oh, the revenge was basically stealing him back from someone,
Speaker 3: like the take.
Speaker 2: Back, stealing him back from someone.
Speaker 3: Yes, when we were sixteen, tell me that story. So
Speaker 3: that was I'm happy that we're talking about this. Actually,
Speaker 3: I'm sure I need to talk about this for a while.
Speaker 3: But that was just a very very very boring person,
Speaker 3: and all in all, it ended up not being a
Speaker 3: super happy or exciting situation for him. So he came
Speaker 3: back and it was really it was really wonderful and
Speaker 3: it ended up being such a happy thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's necessarily revenge or steal happiness
Speaker 2: is I don't like. I mean, I'll make the same
Speaker 2: observation that the other guy. I don't like the idea
Speaker 2: of you stole him or he was someone. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's just it just feels possessive.
Speaker 3: Oh no, come on, I would never interrupt you. I
Speaker 3: feel really bad. I'm listening.
Speaker 2: You just said not to interrupt. You can interrupt me.
Speaker 2: I don't care. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: That's very sweet. But no, I feel like I definitely
Speaker 3: stole his.
Speaker 2: Heart like you took it by force.
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think because he's one of those
Speaker 3: people that just does not do stuff that he doesn't
Speaker 3: want to do. Also, which is good.
Speaker 2: Okay, in what way do you believe you stole his hearts?
Speaker 3: I feel like because of all of the theatrics and
Speaker 3: again some of the things that we've talked about leading
Speaker 3: up to there could have been so many times where
Speaker 3: I didn't steel his heart and he still is here,
Speaker 3: which is happy.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that. I hope. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: thirteen years, you've probably ironed out all the kinks by now.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's always a new one.
Speaker 2: But are you guys gonna have a kid or something?
Speaker 3: You know, I have no idea. People always ask that, though,
Speaker 3: do you want kids?
Speaker 2: I think I do. Actually, it's funny that you know
Speaker 2: you guys started dating? Was he he was? He also sixteen? Yes, Okay,
Speaker 2: it's funny I started dating when you were sixteen. Because
Speaker 2: when I go live on TikTok, like I get there's
Speaker 2: a lot of like younger people that are like type
Speaker 2: in the chat like I'm on to college and with
Speaker 2: my boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever. And I always tell
Speaker 2: them I'm like, I mean, I don't know, shit, I'm
Speaker 2: a dumb green guy. But I always feel like sixteen
Speaker 2: is a little young. I mean it worked out for you,
Speaker 2: which is interesting because I always feel like sixteen is
Speaker 2: a little young to be like, this is it, this
Speaker 2: is who I am.
Speaker 3: Kind of expected that, So you're totally right.
Speaker 2: I'm totally right.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, because I couldn't have expected that at sixteen
Speaker 3: that that was going to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, it worked out for you.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's just funny to look back at.
Speaker 7: It's like, oh, do you feel.
Speaker 2: As though you got lucky? Well listen, Mariah, Yes, thank
Speaker 2: you so much for calling in and uh and sharing
Speaker 2: with us.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm so happy I got to talk
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 2: Of course you ever want for leaves me?
Speaker 4: Oh you as well.
Speaker 1: Bye all from ja.
Speaker 4: Ja.
Speaker 1: Hey Gock, what.
Speaker 2: Do you think about investing in Hamburgers.
Speaker 5: And not doing I mean, I mean, as long as
Speaker 5: you're getting two patties for one dollar, that's a good deal.
Speaker 2: Well I is? I mean I think so right, I
Speaker 2: mean the logic makes sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're literally getting too cheaper on a singular bun.
Speaker 5: I am actually not at all surprised that we are
Speaker 5: talking right now.
Speaker 2: You're not? Why not?
Speaker 5: Because I called you?
Speaker 2: What's your name?
Speaker 5: Jay?
Speaker 2: Jake?
Speaker 7: Jake? Jhy Kay?
Speaker 2: Have we spoken before? Jay?
Speaker 5: No? No, No, longtime lurker, first time calling forty times
Speaker 5: in one night.
Speaker 2: Well, holy hell, Jay, it's a pleasure to finally meet you.
Speaker 2: How are you doing man?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, God, I'm doing good. I'm in
Speaker 5: therapy right now.
Speaker 2: You're in therapy, right in therapy right now.
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm talking to a therapy gocko.
Speaker 2: Well you're in you're in therapy, gecko, which is you know,
Speaker 2: a far different from therapy. But you know, we can
Speaker 2: talk about bugs and shit. Hey, listen, what's Jake?
Speaker 7: J Yeah?
Speaker 5: I meant, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, what's the Jay? What's the worst thing you've ever
Speaker 2: done in your entire life?
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm a petty asshole. I got I got
Speaker 5: revenge stories. So I can give you one that's sexual
Speaker 5: nature or criminal in nature, or I can.
Speaker 3: Give you both.
Speaker 2: Uh, both of the Uh. I'm actually terrified to continue
Speaker 2: this conversation.
Speaker 5: No, no, you're no liability towards any of these things.
Speaker 2: Uh. Will the sexual revenge story be bad.
Speaker 5: No, it's a common story that I'm surprised I haven't
Speaker 5: heard from before tonight. I mean, I'm surprised that with
Speaker 5: all the colors we had tonight, that no one has
Speaker 5: done something similar, because I feel like it's fairly common.
Speaker 2: Well, sure, let me hear it.
Speaker 5: Okay, So obviously, you know, when you move in with
Speaker 5: your friends and you become roommates, sometimes you become ex
Speaker 5: friends for various reasons, to make dishes in the sink,
Speaker 5: not being in bills on time. So I had an
Speaker 5: ex best friend, but I remained friends with that group
Speaker 5: of people, and I ended up sleeping with his current
Speaker 5: girlfriend at the time. So my revenge from getting thrown,
Speaker 5: you know, just dissolving this relationship of the friendship was
Speaker 5: to give revenge by sleeping with his girl at the time.
Speaker 5: And we slept together for a while. Do you know
Speaker 5: how long we slept together. We fucked till pay day?
Speaker 2: Wait? So you oh, is this real?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 5: No, this is a real story. This is a real story.
Speaker 2: It okay, So that this doesn't make sense to me?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 2: Okay? So you for your friend has a girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was an ex friend at this time. So
Speaker 5: we were friends, became ex friends, and.
Speaker 2: And his girlfriend and then his girlfriend cheated on him
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 5: Correct, correct, So again, very simple. I feel like that
Speaker 5: story should have been told a hundred times before I
Speaker 5: even called in. I feel like I'm not the only
Speaker 5: one who's enacted that type of revenge.
Speaker 7: Kay uh.
Speaker 2: I don't know what, why? Why did you do this?
Speaker 2: I don't understand what what was your motive in?
Speaker 5: I feel that half of it was our primal nature
Speaker 5: to reproduce and have sex with other, you know, humans
Speaker 5: on this planet. But the other half was motivated by spite,
Speaker 5: therefore making it revenge sex. The other one that I
Speaker 5: have is a little bit more wholesome in nature. So
Speaker 5: when I was in high school, I was a little
Speaker 5: bit you know, do.
Speaker 2: You still talk to this friends?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, Like I said, it's an it's an X.
Speaker 5: It's an expenst right, we weren't friends at the time.
Speaker 5: If we were friend at the time, I would never
Speaker 5: sleep with this girl. But I was an acting revenge.
Speaker 5: The theme of the night what.
Speaker 7: Do you do?
Speaker 2: You still do these things? Do you still go at It.
Speaker 5: Was about about ten years ange, it's about ten years old.
Speaker 2: I mean ten years. Yeah, so this was ten years
Speaker 2: This was ten years ago. Looking back on it ten
Speaker 2: years later, how do you feel in retrospect about this?
Speaker 5: I feel like I was basically like a karmic Judge Dread,
Speaker 5: you know, only with my penis instead of a gun,
Speaker 5: if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make a ton of sense. But a karmic
Speaker 2: Judge Dread.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Judge Dread was Judge Durian executioner right
Speaker 5: there on the spot. I was similar to that, but
Speaker 5: instead of killing the person, I just simply slept with
Speaker 5: his girlfriend. Well, the other one's a little bit more,
Speaker 5: a little bit more wholesome. So when I was in
Speaker 5: high school, I was the weird kid. I was bullied
Speaker 5: by the jock. Classic Disney movies.
Speaker 2: Were made by what are you now?
Speaker 5: Now Now, I'm a well rounded, weird individual, but at
Speaker 5: the time I was slightly friendship at that moment.
Speaker 2: So I think the I think the case could be
Speaker 2: made the year You're still a little friends sake.
Speaker 5: I'm working on it. I'm in therapy, you know. So anyway,
Speaker 5: after you know, months and months of bullying, probably years,
Speaker 5: at this point, I said, you know what, I know
Speaker 5: where this person lives? I will enact some revenge for
Speaker 5: my mental anguish in high school. So I went over
Speaker 5: to his house and pulled the classic sugar into the
Speaker 5: gas tank, and then I put glue all over the
Speaker 5: hood of their car, and then through glitter at that
Speaker 5: glue and created an art project out of their expensive vehicle.
Speaker 2: And again sugar in that What is sugar in the
Speaker 2: gas tank? Man?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a less than Jake song is where the
Speaker 5: inspiration comes from. But sugar dissolves gasoline. So when someone
Speaker 5: goes to start their car, the sugar fuel throws through
Speaker 5: the fuel system and dissolves and eats all the gasoline.
Speaker 5: Sugar and gasoline reacted in a corrosive nature, so when
Speaker 5: sugar enters your gas tank. It was a very common
Speaker 5: prank back in the day. That is, it's an art
Speaker 5: form that has been lost. So it was something that
Speaker 5: I was able to, you know, kind of a little
Speaker 5: bit of bit of renaissance.
Speaker 2: If you will, Jay, what un you would you tell
Speaker 2: you these things to your real therapist? What do they
Speaker 2: tell you?
Speaker 7: There?
Speaker 5: Said, that'll be three ninety nine a month and twenty
Speaker 5: five for eight dollars each session, and they tell you
Speaker 5: what you want to hear. Man, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I feel that you know, therapy is just kind of
Speaker 5: if you tell them one thing, you can almost extract
Speaker 5: the answer that you want to hear to reinforce your
Speaker 5: own bullshit. I mean you can. You can. You can
Speaker 5: guide the conversation to a point where you're going to
Speaker 5: be told what you want to hear. So therefore you
Speaker 5: continue with their program. And but continue with their program
Speaker 5: is to continue to contribute to them financially.
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm doing that too?
Speaker 5: Well? You haven't asked me for any money. I will
Speaker 5: give you my credit card number arrive over the phone
Speaker 5: right now if you'd like. But you have not asked
Speaker 5: me for anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, we can, we can. We can comp this one. Well, listen, Jay,
Speaker 2: you know, I hope things continue to go well for
Speaker 2: you and uh in your in your therapy.
Speaker 5: There's a Pleasure's a pleasure chatting with you, Lyle. I
Speaker 5: guess I'm not surprised at all that we call all right,
Speaker 5: Well we.
Speaker 2: Have a good name.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Enjoyers all from.
Speaker 7: Max Max Max gek, I'm here, You're here, I'm here?
Speaker 2: What does it mean to be here?
Speaker 7: Wow? You already stumped me. I didn't think it would
Speaker 7: happen this quick.
Speaker 2: Well, here it is life. Life comes at your fast.
Speaker 7: Max, it certainly does. Gek mm hmm.
Speaker 2: So here we are. We're just two people on the
Speaker 2: phone with each other.
Speaker 10: One person's in a Gecko suit and uh, I'm wearing
Speaker 10: regular clothes.
Speaker 2: We're on a thing. You're in a Gecko. But at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, Max and I could just
Speaker 2: sort of melt away all of the external things surrounding
Speaker 2: this conversation and focused on the converse is itself. I
Speaker 2: feel like we can really sort of inhabit the same
Speaker 2: the same space.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, we can be two brains in our link.
Speaker 6: Max.
Speaker 7: If you got revenge, I just recently got revenge and
Speaker 7: reverse revenge.
Speaker 2: You got reverse revenge.
Speaker 7: I got reverse revenge.
Speaker 2: I have never heard of the reverse revenge. Well, let's
Speaker 2: start with the revenge revenge. How did you get okay revenge?
Speaker 2: So let's start with the wronging. What was the wronging? Initially?
Speaker 10: The wronging was I used to do a thing called
Speaker 10: klepto clubbing, where I would go to parties and I
Speaker 10: would take something. I would steal something from their house,
Speaker 10: like something strange like barbecue, like players or like where
Speaker 10: I go into the fridge and take the cranberry juice,
Speaker 10: Like just weird shit. And so my friends started to
Speaker 10: catch on to that. So we were at a party
Speaker 10: at the radio station I worked at and someone had
Speaker 10: stolen a girl's Harley Quinn poster.
Speaker 7: And I I assisted with that. So that was that
Speaker 7: was the wrong he assisted?
Speaker 2: What part? How? I feel like stealing a poster is
Speaker 2: a one person job.
Speaker 13: It is the one person job. But if you have to.
Speaker 10: Distract the girl while they take the poster, and you
Speaker 10: know that she has feelings for you, you know, not
Speaker 10: exactly right?
Speaker 2: Okay, So did you I mean, did you get a
Speaker 2: cut of the poster? Did you get like a pigtail?
Speaker 2: Maybe a corner?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 7: No, I had, I had no interest in it.
Speaker 2: You play, you play the game.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I was playing the game for the love of
Speaker 13: the sport.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 13: So it was like two years ago that they had
Speaker 13: That happened so recently.
Speaker 7: I had ended up dating the girl. We broke up,
Speaker 7: and then I remember it like, oh yeah, they stole that.
Speaker 10: So what I did is I snuck into their house
Speaker 10: and I stole the poster back and I returned it
Speaker 10: to the girl.
Speaker 7: So that was the reverse revenge.
Speaker 2: Interesting. See, Okay, that's that took a different turn because
Speaker 2: when you said you you said you got reverse revenged.
Speaker 2: I thought it meant you got revenge on someone and
Speaker 2: then they got revenge on you for your revenge. But
Speaker 2: you actually literally reversed.
Speaker 7: Your revenge I did.
Speaker 2: But hold on, now, so you stole you stole a
Speaker 2: poster and you gave it back.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, it kind of in a way.
Speaker 13: Sure, I mean but I assisted in stealing the.
Speaker 10: Poster, and then I stole the poster back and then
Speaker 10: returned it.
Speaker 7: So there was like three stealings.
Speaker 2: But what was stealing the poster revenge for?
Speaker 7: Oh? She was just being she was being shitty to everyone.
Speaker 2: You know, what was what was your main beef with her?
Speaker 7: She was just shitty to people in the group.
Speaker 2: So people in the group.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like I worked at a radio station and there
Speaker 10: were there's you know.
Speaker 2: So okay, So if this person was shitty to you
Speaker 2: and you wanted to enact revenge by stealing one of
Speaker 2: their things, why the change of heart? Why did you
Speaker 2: eventually give it back?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I think I just had the realization of like, that's
Speaker 10: kind of fucked up, not in a huge way, but
Speaker 10: it was something that I knew I could do to
Speaker 10: set a couple of things right before you.
Speaker 7: Know, I leave, okay, charmatically, karmatically, I wanted things in balance.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you're gonna have to kind of do
Speaker 2: a little bit of a My name is Earl here
Speaker 2: because I mean it sounds to me like this was
Speaker 2: not an isolated incident. You said you are a in
Speaker 2: your words, you said klepto thief.
Speaker 7: Clepto. Yeah, sure, you said.
Speaker 2: You were aklecto thief like you've probably. I mean, so
Speaker 2: you have an extent of history of stealing things. So
Speaker 2: you're kind of have to going to go back if
Speaker 2: you really want to balance yourself out chromatically, you actually
Speaker 2: have to. I helpe you cut track of all of
Speaker 2: your your heist because you're gonna have to go re.
Speaker 13: I guess I buy some more cranberry juice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well listen, good luck on that journey.
Speaker 7: All right, thanks, Gek. I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Of course. You have a good name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all from Joe.
Speaker 7: Joe.
Speaker 14: How's it going, Gek?
Speaker 2: You know Joe that rhymes yeah, it.
Speaker 14: Does a lot of stuff rhymes with Joe.
Speaker 5: It's a good name.
Speaker 2: Can you name ten things that rhyme with Joe right
Speaker 2: now off the top of your head?
Speaker 14: Uh flow, go bro brow.
Speaker 2: Crow, drows not a word?
Speaker 14: Drow?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Is not a word? D r o w.
Speaker 14: D r o like droe like weed?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 14: Well, what's going on? I got a good good revenge.
Speaker 2: That's only we need six more words that rhyme with Drew.
Speaker 2: What's your name again, Joe? Six words around with Drew?
Speaker 2: I mean that round with Joe?
Speaker 14: Uh blow crow, mo toe frow uh blow?
Speaker 2: Is that sick?
Speaker 14: Low?
Speaker 2: He said low?
Speaker 14: I said, grow and glow.
Speaker 2: We've spent so much time on this, Joe. Where do
Speaker 2: we go when we die?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 14: I'd like to find out. I mean, I'm not too
Speaker 14: eager to find out, but I'm curious as the rest
Speaker 14: of us.
Speaker 2: You know, are you how curious? Are I feel like?
Speaker 2: Is the average person that curious?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 14: I feel like everyone's got some sort of underlying curiosity,
Speaker 14: But I would say probably not. I guess the majority
Speaker 14: of people do their best to distract themselves and keep
Speaker 14: themselves from wondering what actually happens when we die?
Speaker 2: What do you do to distract yourself from thinking about
Speaker 2: what happens when we die.
Speaker 14: Oh shit, man, uh. I like to skateboard, I play kendoma.
Speaker 14: I like, I got a bunch of frogs that I
Speaker 14: like to, you know, play around with.
Speaker 2: You have a you have a bunch of frogs? Like,
Speaker 2: how many frogs? I got six?
Speaker 14: Right now? I'm trying to breed them.
Speaker 2: You have six frogs?
Speaker 14: Yeah, poison dark frogs.
Speaker 2: They're you have six poisonous frogs.
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, they're not poisonous. They're they're the poison dark frogs.
Speaker 14: So they're real colorful and stuff, but they're not poisonous
Speaker 14: because they're a bread in captivity.
Speaker 2: So see, ready for what would happen if you were
Speaker 2: to lick one of them?
Speaker 14: I don't think think anything would happen. I think I'd
Speaker 14: be fine. I've touched them before, I've handled them.
Speaker 7: See.
Speaker 2: I don't like frogs because okay, like I could pet
Speaker 2: a gecko because the gecko has dry, scally skin, but
Speaker 2: a frog is like wet.
Speaker 14: Yeah, they're not real liked or real really easy to
Speaker 14: play with.
Speaker 2: You know, what are you gonna do with the trying
Speaker 2: to breathe them? And what are you gonna do with them?
Speaker 14: I don't know, man, I mean I'd like to have
Speaker 14: a whole collection of a bunch of different species and stuff.
Speaker 14: But I mean, if I get enough or if I
Speaker 14: successfully breathe them, you know, either sell them or keep
Speaker 14: them or we'll see.
Speaker 2: Well, Joe, if you want, I'd be willing to join
Speaker 2: your collection for an observative fee.
Speaker 14: Yeah all right, all right, Well, well I'll shoot you
Speaker 14: a message or call them whenever I whenever I get
Speaker 14: some baby frogs.
Speaker 2: Cool, you could, you could. I haven't been neutered, so
Speaker 2: if you want to breed me, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you could bring me with one of the frogs. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that would work, but.
Speaker 14: I don't know, get go frog interbreeding works, but we
Speaker 14: could find out.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for offering, for offering that
Speaker 2: opportunity to me, Joe, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 14: I hope it's a once in a lifetime for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. You have a good night.
Speaker 14: Wait you want to hear my revenge story?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 5: So I worked at.
Speaker 14: This summer camp a couple of years ago for like
Speaker 14: little kids, like third graders through fifth graders, and I
Speaker 14: was like a student teacher, basically in these in these classrooms.
Speaker 14: And there was this one class that I had to
Speaker 14: help out with all summer that was like this young
Speaker 14: Architect Builder class kind of deal where all these fucking
Speaker 14: third graders would get together and then I would have
Speaker 14: to assists them with like building these model houses and
Speaker 14: model buildings and stuff like that. And this one day,
Speaker 14: this one kid was like putting together his house and
Speaker 14: he was like, hey, Joe, can you come over here
Speaker 14: and help me out with my house? And I said, yeah, sure,
Speaker 14: no problem. So I go up to the little work
Speaker 14: table there and I put my hands down on the
Speaker 14: table and lean over to help them, and I put
Speaker 14: my hand in a fucking huge puddle of hot glue.
Speaker 14: Why they had these third graders working with hot glue
Speaker 14: by themselves, I mean, that's beyond me. But I put
Speaker 14: my hand out, I know, I mean, I put my
Speaker 14: hand in this giant puddle of hot glue. Scalded my hand.
Speaker 14: He got this giant, like four inch blister on my palm,
Speaker 14: and was just like refraining from freaking out, you know,
Speaker 14: in front of all these third graders and stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 14: this fucking kid just like scalded my hand, and you know,
Speaker 14: put my hand out of commission for a good three.
Speaker 2: What would you do to get revenge on the kid?
Speaker 14: Well, there was like twenty kid I fucking wanted to,
Speaker 14: but uh there was like twenty kids or so in
Speaker 14: this class, and uh, I was like, you know, I
Speaker 14: mean this dude had been giving me issues, just like
Speaker 14: this wasn't the first time.
Speaker 5: I mean he was like.
Speaker 14: Pretty rambunctious and like you know, always just being like
Speaker 14: more than just a distraction. I mean I was a distraction.
Speaker 14: I talked to the teacher into like the head of
Speaker 14: the camp, and I was like, look, this kid's a
Speaker 14: straight up fucker, and like, is just like I didn't
Speaker 14: mention the him burning my hand on hot glue thing,
Speaker 14: and I was just like, yeah, this kid's like a
Speaker 14: bullied to other kids. He's a distraction to the class.
Speaker 2: He like slows.
Speaker 14: Yeah, essentially, I mean like I wouldn't consider myself to
Speaker 14: be a snitch, but I.
Speaker 2: Got I would have booted. What I would have done
Speaker 2: is I would have you know, every kid brings their
Speaker 2: lunch into school or whatever. I would have gone into
Speaker 2: his cubby during recess or whatever, right before lunch, and
Speaker 2: I would have taken out who's peanut butter and jolly sandwich,
Speaker 2: and I would have spread a bunch of glue on it.
Speaker 14: That would be honestly probably better revenge in getting him
Speaker 14: booted out of the class.
Speaker 3: M hm.
Speaker 2: Well, next time a third grader pisces you off, you
Speaker 2: know what to do.
Speaker 14: Yeah, hopefully I don't have to deal with any fucker
Speaker 14: or third graders anymore.
Speaker 2: So, well, thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 7: Joe.
Speaker 2: You have a wonder for us to the night.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you too, man.
Speaker 12: How from Chris Chris, Hello, Hey, holy cow, never thought
Speaker 12: i'd get on this.
Speaker 2: Everyone keeps calling in and then telling me that they
Speaker 2: never thought they would get on there. If you called in,
Speaker 2: then there's a chance you'll get.
Speaker 12: On, yes, but yes, but the problem in live is
Speaker 12: that when you call, it's as if there's like you
Speaker 12: only have a very slim chance. Like you must have
Speaker 12: asked me fifteen times in the automation if what's your name?
Speaker 12: State your name? I stated it, it would ring, and
Speaker 12: then your automated voicemail would come on, and that was it.
Speaker 2: Listen, Chris, Chris, that's all in the past. Now together
Speaker 2: you and I are in the president and I would
Speaker 2: like to hear from you have you ever gotten revenge?
Speaker 12: You know, I actually haven't gotten revenge. I just wanted
Speaker 12: to call. And I'm not a vengeful kind of guy,
Speaker 12: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I don't not a vengeful guy.
Speaker 12: I don't seek out reasons to have revenge for somebody.
Speaker 12: Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Makes a little bit of sense? I mean, I think
Speaker 2: that's good.
Speaker 12: I think it's good. I think that, you know, if
Speaker 12: somebody does me wrong or has done me wrong, for example,
Speaker 12: in my day to day at work or in personal life,
Speaker 12: I'm just the kind of guy to kind of like remneuver, restrategize,
Speaker 12: and kind of, you know, figure out a way to
Speaker 12: kind of be successful despite that situation. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: We got two nice people in a row who would
Speaker 2: never hurt a fly and never exact revenge on anyone.
Speaker 12: Well, no, I would. It's just I haven't had that
Speaker 12: situation happen.
Speaker 2: Like, for example, Well, let me ask you then something.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you that something, Chris, What would someone
Speaker 2: have to do to you to get you to be vengeful?
Speaker 12: That's a good question. Okay, So here here's the problem
Speaker 12: with me. Okay, this is this is a good problem
Speaker 12: to have, but it's also a bad problem. You can
Speaker 12: push me, you can, you can come at me, you
Speaker 12: can talk shit about me, you can you know, talk
Speaker 12: shit behind my back. And really, I'm not going to
Speaker 12: ever get to a point where I want to wish
Speaker 12: any evil upon you or do any bad upon you.
Speaker 2: However, well, well I'll get you there, Chris.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you are too do anything to my family, to
Speaker 12: my friend, to somebody that I care about, or somebody
Speaker 12: that may have a disability, or somebody that is in
Speaker 12: a lesser position than you financially or in life or
Speaker 12: in health, and you are cruel to that person, then
Speaker 12: that that is a way to get anger out of me,
Speaker 12: and and that that that could be physical, or that
Speaker 12: could be just making that person's life a living help
Speaker 12: or you know, to try to teach someone.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Chris, you said, well, Chris, you I mean,
Speaker 2: I get you on the family, But you said that
Speaker 2: anyone who does anything bad to anyone who's less fortunate
Speaker 2: at them. And there's people doing horrible things to people
Speaker 2: who are less fortunate than them all the time every day.
Speaker 2: How are you doing anything to try to get revenge
Speaker 2: on those people? Or are you going out and getting
Speaker 2: into fistfights?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 12: You know, not really. I mean I'm thirty six years
Speaker 12: old now, you know, I mean those days are kind
Speaker 12: of behind me. I don't get into situations too much
Speaker 12: where physical physical altercation. I think COVID's kind of kind
Speaker 12: of done that too, Like there's not a lot of
Speaker 12: social studyings where that can happen right now, if you
Speaker 12: think about it.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Chris, you know I like the philosophy, and
Speaker 2: I hope that you continue to defend your family's honor.
Speaker 7: Gek.
Speaker 12: I appreciate everything you do. I very frequently lay in
Speaker 12: bed at night and right before I fall asleep. You're
Speaker 12: the last person I listened to. I enjoy your wisdom.
Speaker 12: I enjoy your take on life and just your general
Speaker 12: interest in other people. You're an interesting individual.
Speaker 2: And thank you well, thank you so much, Chris. I
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Take care fight you have a good one.
Speaker 8: Never again goes on the line taking your calls every night, ever,
Speaker 8: teaching you
