Speaker 2: I actually was. I didn't even know who was calling me,
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, what the fuck is calling it?
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, it's the therapy gift.
Speaker 1: Are you sweating right now?
Speaker 2: Uh? Maybe no, not the moment, but I think I
Speaker 2: was on the brink.
Speaker 1: Do you do you normally have trouble falling asleep? Or
Speaker 1: are you a sleepy little guy?
Speaker 2: I guess it depends. There's some things or there's some
Speaker 2: requirements that need to be met met before I can
Speaker 2: go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Do you have fucked up dreams?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Also depend Lewis. You texted me and you said that
Speaker 1: counter Strike is killing my friendships.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. Here would not be wrong?
Speaker 1: How so.
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie. So basically throughout my whole entire life,
Speaker 2: I've usually they've been videogames. I play a lot of
Speaker 2: video games. Stuff. Sorry for like stuttering and stuff. I
Speaker 2: kind of just woke up and now I'm telling my
Speaker 2: story that I was gonna tell. I played a lot
Speaker 2: of competitive video games with my friends and stuff. And
Speaker 2: then as like I matured and years went by, I
Speaker 2: kind of grew out of that phase and I one
Speaker 2: went on to play other stuff. But now I'm in
Speaker 2: college and all my friends go to different colleges and I
Speaker 2: don't really get to see my friends all that often.
Speaker 2: And usually if I want like any sort of opportunity
Speaker 2: to like hang out with my friends, per se. I
Speaker 2: play Counterstrike, and I straight up like would rather play
Speaker 2: alone than play with my friends sometimes.
Speaker 1: Why would you rather play alone with your friends? Or
Speaker 1: your friends annoying you? Or are they just kind of
Speaker 1: like getting in the way of you focusing on your game?
Speaker 2: It helps me. It helps like playing alone not being
Speaker 2: called a retard every six seconds, and I know that
Speaker 2: usually least up of friend groups. Definitely. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if I was allowed to say that. Sorry about that?
Speaker 1: What do you feel when your friends call you that?
Speaker 1: Do you feel offended or endeared?
Speaker 2: Explainingdeared? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Indeed? Like is it is it? Is it a friendly
Speaker 1: phrase to you? Or is it? Are you offended by it?
Speaker 2: It's not my first time being called it, but like
Speaker 2: like when just like nags at you gets a little
Speaker 2: offensive sometimes, okay, because I am actually like a little neurodiversent.
Speaker 2: I haven't diagnosis, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that. Man, are your friends? Are
Speaker 1: you friends trying to be mean to you?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like that is what this is
Speaker 2: what I've kind of been like questioning throughout the years
Speaker 2: it's because like I've despite all of these like insults
Speaker 2: that they throw at me and shit, that I've actually
Speaker 2: been pretty tight with them. And then there's just like
Speaker 2: moments to where like they say some of like the
Speaker 2: most fucking like horrendous shit to me, and like I'm
Speaker 2: been pretty stuck. I'm like, man, do these people like
Speaker 2: actually fucking like like me? Or am I just like
Speaker 2: a punching bag for him? And that's kind of like
Speaker 2: They've been the big debate for me for like the
Speaker 2: past years. I've been friends with these guys.
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
Speaker 2: Hm hmm. And if if I'm actually not friends with
Speaker 2: these guys, the holy shit, I have been alone for
Speaker 2: a really long time and I'm friends of these guys,
Speaker 2: Like holy like what do I do? You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying? Mmmm?
Speaker 1: Friends with these guys for.
Speaker 2: M Well, the story is my brother's friends, and uh,
Speaker 2: since they really come over and meet me, I kind
Speaker 2: of transition to their friends. So it's been like I'm
Speaker 2: a college freshman now. I met them in like fifth grade.
Speaker 1: Are you guys in a group chat together?
Speaker 2: I was not anymore?
Speaker 1: You left the group chat?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: Did you leave the group chat?
Speaker 2: Lewis I'm gonna be real with him now. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was just like a bunch of irrelevant ship on there.
Speaker 2: And like I was, it was like a snapchat group chat.
Speaker 1: So do you I mean, I mean, point blank do
Speaker 1: you like these guys?
Speaker 2: You know what part of me does?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: I really do like these guys, but I enjoy hanging
Speaker 2: out with them. I'm not sure if I'm taking the
Speaker 2: ship too personally because sometimes I haven't known them for
Speaker 2: doing that. I do take ship like way too personally
Speaker 2: m hm, and I probably should. But and then there
Speaker 2: are some things I'm like, dude, are you guys joking
Speaker 2: or just like you guys being for real?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Dude? Ah? Man, Well, I mean there's a few
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a few things at play here.
Speaker 1: One the most important thing that I'm thinking about that
Speaker 1: to play here is that you or are what are you? Nineteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay? And you just and you just went to college.
Speaker 2: Yep, freshman year.
Speaker 1: Okay. You know, Look, your friendship's aside and whether or
Speaker 1: not you want to stay friends with these guys before
Speaker 1: we even talk about that, like, what's going on with
Speaker 1: you in college? Are you making new friends? Are you
Speaker 1: putting yourself out there.
Speaker 2: Ooh, man, Well in college, I mean I'm not like,
Speaker 2: you know, quoting myself off and then everybody obviously like
Speaker 2: talk to other people and stuff, but I wouldn't really
Speaker 2: say those like my friends. I remember talking to some
Speaker 2: like I don't know who it was, but I remember saying, like,
Speaker 2: I talked to these people a lot, but like, at
Speaker 2: the same time, I don't really want to, like, you know,
Speaker 2: open myself up to them because I don't really want
Speaker 2: them to like know me and stuff. And then I
Speaker 2: just get are you are you?
Speaker 1: Are you referring to the counter strike people or are
Speaker 1: these new people at college the new people? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: why don't you want them to know you?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man Like it feels like invasive, but
Speaker 2: like in that way, I won't like make any friends.
Speaker 1: Is that a general Is that a fear you've always
Speaker 1: had of like being afraid of people like knowing you.
Speaker 2: A little bit? Like my dad, I won't like try
Speaker 2: and leak anything. But I remember, like throughout life, and
Speaker 2: especially like during his wedding because he just got married,
Speaker 2: all these people are coming up to me. He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: have you been man Like, I've seen your entire life
Speaker 2: on Facebook, Like, that's great. I've just met you and
Speaker 2: you already know more about me than I do about you.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, what the fuck are you posting on Facebook?
Speaker 2: I'm not posting anything.
Speaker 1: My dad is, Oh, okay, yeah, sure, for sure. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I get it can be kind of annoying when some
Speaker 1: light when like your second cousin comes up to you
Speaker 1: or something and starts pretending like they know you, and
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know who you are.
Speaker 2: It's not even my second cousin either. It's literally just
Speaker 2: random people for my dad's work, like thirty year old
Speaker 2: white people. Those comes and he's like, hey man, how's this.
Speaker 2: Oh I've seen your entire life story. I'm like that's great.
Speaker 2: And I've only recently told my dad like, please, can
Speaker 2: you like ask me before you like put me on
Speaker 2: your Facebook and stuff. Yeah, because he's a little infamous.
Speaker 2: Oh go ahead, I was.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say about your kind of situation
Speaker 1: as a whole. I haven't thought about this in a while,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I used to say this on
Speaker 1: the podcast a lot, Like you know, the friends that
Speaker 1: you have when you're in like high school, they kind
Speaker 1: of or like the early relationships you have. They kind
Speaker 1: of like form your idea of what a relationship should be,
Speaker 1: which can be a little it could be a little
Speaker 1: dangerous because if your friends are always like, you know,
Speaker 1: insulting you and fucking with you, you can, you know,
Speaker 1: develop this thing where it's like, oh, in every friendship
Speaker 1: that I'm ever going to have my whole life, people
Speaker 1: are going to insult me and fuck with me, which
Speaker 1: is not necessarily true. And I don't I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say from the information that you've given me that your
Speaker 1: friends don't like you or are bad people. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if if I have enough
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have enough information to make
Speaker 1: that you know, assumption. You know, and you can you
Speaker 1: can drive yourself fucking crazy making assumptions as to whether
Speaker 1: or not people like you. But I don't know. But
Speaker 1: then again, I'm like, you should know, right if these
Speaker 1: are your boys, you you should know, Like these are
Speaker 1: my boys, I should but like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I actually like they'll sometimes they'll meet up with them,
Speaker 2: like recently because my dad got married and all I
Speaker 2: met up with a few of them. Uh. One about
Speaker 2: his girlfriend one came straight from university and all in it.
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't like terrible having them no excuse me over,
Speaker 2: but at some moments it felt like there was like
Speaker 2: a stranger in my house and shit, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I didn't I don't know what to fucking do. And
Speaker 2: that's sometimes what it feels like when they come over.
Speaker 2: But like despite that, like I know that I kind
Speaker 2: of get like something positive about it because we're not
Speaker 2: playing like video games together and shit, and like we're
Speaker 2: not they're not like, uh treating everything like their whole
Speaker 2: fucking life on the line.
Speaker 4: Are are you?
Speaker 1: Would you consider yourself an introverted guy?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Definitely, not like very extroverted. But I'm not like too introverted,
Speaker 2: so I'd say I'm definitely on the introverted spectrip side.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, h who's your do you have? Of
Speaker 1: all the of the how many people are in this group?
Speaker 2: Well, the ones that I usually see, it's like, uh,
Speaker 2: maybe like two three, maybe like four people, I guess,
Speaker 2: And this.
Speaker 1: Is the counter strike people or the college people.
Speaker 2: Count of striped people. I don't really how many like
Speaker 2: college people. I'm very tight with you. I just have
Speaker 2: people I know and people that help me and my
Speaker 2: college stuff.
Speaker 1: Mm hm hm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you have like a bet do you have a
Speaker 1: best friend out of this gang? Like someone you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, well that guy that's mine, that's my boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, uh dude. He moved a while ago and
Speaker 2: like around mentioned was video games and stuff, and I
Speaker 2: don't know how the fuck we are still friends and
Speaker 2: but like I know, I'm really tight with this guy.
Speaker 2: But the thing is that I haven't heard from him.
Speaker 2: Well I've only heard from him like slightly, but he's
Speaker 2: like really set up with college and shit, and I understand,
Speaker 2: so he doesn't really like hang out with me that
Speaker 2: much anymore, which I understand it's not. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's anything personal with Yeah, I really hope not. But
Speaker 2: from what I've seen, you just like set up with
Speaker 2: college and like life and shit.
Speaker 1: When you said, god, I really hope not. I just
Speaker 1: I just want you to know, like you, I don't,
Speaker 1: don't drive yourself crazy thinking about whether or not people
Speaker 1: like you. You know, you can really you can really
Speaker 1: make yourself unhappy doing that.
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, my momoulout. Like remember one time in
Speaker 2: my life, my mom was calling me a crazy like
Speaker 2: people pleaser, and he was like, dude, if you continue
Speaker 2: to like have this people please mentality, you will go
Speaker 2: fucking crazy.
Speaker 1: Right of course. Yeah, one hundred per Let me ask
Speaker 1: you that are do you so back? I mean back
Speaker 1: to away from we're kind of going back and forth here,
Speaker 1: but away from the counter strike guys and into college.
Speaker 1: You want you want to make friends.
Speaker 2: Obviously, yeah, I do, But like Buck man, it's like
Speaker 2: scary the college I go. I'm not going to like
Speaker 2: drop any like word college and stuff and trying to
Speaker 2: like avoid that. It's come a few close a few times.
Speaker 2: The type of college I go too, it's not like
Speaker 2: usually my age group. Obviously you'll find that age group there,
Speaker 2: but like it varies, like there's like my age group
Speaker 2: that jumps up to like people in their like fucking
Speaker 2: thirties or forties.
Speaker 1: M that's funny when I was in college. When I
Speaker 1: was in college, I had some friends in their thirties
Speaker 1: and forties because I was in the comedy scene, and
Speaker 1: that was like, you know, it was like eighteen year
Speaker 1: olds hanging out with like forty five year old twice
Speaker 1: divorced guys doing doing their bits and stuff. It's fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you're actually now talking to you. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about when I was You're you said you're freshmen freshman, yes,
Speaker 1: or I'm thinking about when I was a freshman. I
Speaker 1: struggled to make friends a lot. Like the freshman year
Speaker 1: of college was really fucking hellish, dude, because I didn't
Speaker 1: have any friends. And it wasn't until sophomore year that
Speaker 1: I started getting really into comedy and doing that stuff
Speaker 1: that I started to make friends. And I learned that
Speaker 1: the best way to make friends and form a community
Speaker 1: around you. And I don't know if this is your speed.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what you're game for, but
Speaker 1: the best way to do it is to find a
Speaker 1: community of find a community of people that already exists,
Speaker 1: and find the way to add value to that community.
Speaker 1: Or if that community of people doesn't exist, you create it.
Speaker 1: You know, So like, could you theoretically go on the
Speaker 1: you know, let's say you attend toilet Paper University. Could
Speaker 1: you go on the over the Paper University class of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight Facebook page. This is what I did,
Speaker 1: And you post like, Hey, I'm doing a land counter
Speaker 1: strike night at the student Center. You know, come on through.
Speaker 1: There'll be enough there'll be you know, at least five
Speaker 1: other dudes to come through and play games. You know,
Speaker 1: like if you really, if you really want to be like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm putting myself out there. I'm gonna like
Speaker 1: be entrepreneurial about this and and really do something you
Speaker 1: could Uh, you can give that a go. I know
Speaker 1: it's hard. I know it's scary to put yourself out
Speaker 1: there like that, but yeah, you know, I mean that's
Speaker 1: on a personal level, that's that's what worked for me.
Speaker 2: M yeah, I mean there are some like groups like
Speaker 2: like especially I'm I don't know video games on my
Speaker 2: whole spield, but they've kind of been definitely a big
Speaker 2: part of my life for ever. Like, but I'm not
Speaker 2: like the whole esports things, Like I said, I don't
Speaker 2: I don't don't like really competitive games anymore.
Speaker 1: And hmm, it doesn't don't. It didn't have to be
Speaker 1: video It didn't have to be you know, the the
Speaker 1: main thing I know about you is video games. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you have other like things that you're interested in.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I mean, like, I mean, fuck it,
Speaker 1: like what.
Speaker 2: Uh what you want me to name stuff?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: I trained in boxing and I do a lot of
Speaker 2: that stuff. I fuck with that heavy. Oh like comment
Speaker 2: sports in general. I really love dude.
Speaker 1: All right, why didn't you tell me that at the
Speaker 1: beginning you got to do a fight club?
Speaker 2: It's just big like this. My friend he started something
Speaker 2: similar to that at his own university, fight over stuff.
Speaker 1: By the way, when it comes I feel like also
Speaker 1: when it comes to like guys like nothing fuck and
Speaker 1: it brings two people. Nothing brings two guys closer together
Speaker 1: than beating the fucking shit out of each other, because afterwards,
Speaker 1: they really really there's some there's some chemical released in
Speaker 1: the brain after two guys beat the ship out of
Speaker 1: each other that makes them just want to, you know, kiss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually get what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: I remember getting knocked out and stuff. But like, and
Speaker 2: the guy who knocked me out, he was like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, man. He came up to me and he
Speaker 2: was like, damn, you're crying because he felt really bad,
Speaker 2: and he's saying like, there's nothing personal against you, man,
Speaker 2: you fight really well. I like you and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: and like all the people that are spar with men,
Speaker 2: it's always just like in that moment and then once
Speaker 2: you're out of it, like like you're friends and ship.
Speaker 1: See, that's nothing you can do, is you can you
Speaker 1: can let a bunch of people beat the shit out
Speaker 1: of you and then they'll feel sorry for you and
Speaker 1: be your friend.
Speaker 2: Man, they can't really do that without any form of
Speaker 2: self defense. But you know what, I kind of that's
Speaker 2: definitely a good point.
Speaker 1: But yeah, look man, all that all that's to say,
Speaker 1: and this is this is from you know, a deep
Speaker 1: sense of personal experience with with this whole thing. Is
Speaker 1: that if if you have the drive to like put
Speaker 1: yourself out there and like create something that that puts
Speaker 1: you around other people, then you know it's it's a lock.
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's just what I that's just something something,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you don't have to go out
Speaker 1: and you know, form a thing immediately. You can if
Speaker 1: you want to, you should, but uh, you know, just
Speaker 1: something something something I would chew on as you as
Speaker 1: you fall asleep three hours later because I've interrupted your
Speaker 1: rim cycle.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I really don't hope it's three hours later.
Speaker 2: But I think I can knock myself out pretty fast.
Speaker 1: What's your name again? Lewis Uh?
Speaker 2: It's not lewis Uh, but it's no go ahead, right,
Speaker 2: what is I think Lewis is a good name for me.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: H Lewis Man, I'm glad I got to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I like talking about this subject because again, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's something I've I've dealt with. Is there anything
Speaker 1: in particular you want to say to the people of
Speaker 1: the computer before we go?
Speaker 2: Wow? I remember hearing you say to this other people.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what i'd say. Uh, forgive people, because
Speaker 2: if you don't, then it's going to be a huge
Speaker 2: waste of time in the past just thinking I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: fuck that guy, when you could have just been hanging
Speaker 2: out this whole time. I guess.
Speaker 1: Have beautiful, sweet dreams, Louis.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kak, I appreciate it, man for calling me.
Speaker 1: Take care man, thanks for talking to me instead of sleeping. Bye.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see you.
Speaker 1: I had a dream the other night that I went
Speaker 1: with optim Prime to his house where he was roommates
Speaker 1: with John Lovetts and they were both really religious. I
Speaker 1: said that on the podcast before, but I thought I
Speaker 1: would say that again. Hello, Hey, what's up? Man?
Speaker 2: Is it.
Speaker 1: Is this Bryce?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Is this the gek?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What's that?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: How's it going, gek ah.
Speaker 1: Actually it's going pretty good. I'm feeling I'm feeling in
Speaker 1: the zone. Baby, that's good.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: So I stumbled across your content maybe like a month ago,
Speaker 5: and I have something that I want to tell your
Speaker 5: viewers that I've never told anybody else. Okay, So, and
Speaker 5: I don't know, I've never came to anybody with this problem.
Speaker 5: But the only person who knows is my girlfriend. And
Speaker 5: sometimes spicy food and sour food is a little too
Speaker 5: hot for me. So I'll have her pre chew it
Speaker 5: and kind of baby bird it into my mouth. And
Speaker 5: is that weird? I love hot food and I love
Speaker 5: spicy food, but all right, sour food and hot food,
Speaker 5: but sometimes, dude, it just fucks me up.
Speaker 1: So you'll have your girlfriend chew it and spit it
Speaker 1: into your mouth just a.
Speaker 5: Little bit, not a lot, just enough to like take
Speaker 5: the coating off of it. And the thing is, dude,
Speaker 5: I'm a huge stone or too. So it's like you
Speaker 5: should like spicy food and sour food and candy, but
Speaker 5: it's rough, mane. And I do like it. I like
Speaker 5: it a lot, but it just fucks me up. Makes
Speaker 5: my face hurt real bad, and hot food just destroys
Speaker 5: my stomach if I don't have her do it, and
Speaker 5: I could rent it all underwater, right, but I feel
Speaker 5: like that's gross putting tap water on. At least her
Speaker 5: mouth has the same thing as my mouth.
Speaker 1: How often is she doing this for you?
Speaker 5: Probably at least once a week. We've been Togerett for
Speaker 5: six years. Probably once a week for the past three years.
Speaker 5: I know, listen, gack. I know it's a lot to
Speaker 5: take in.
Speaker 1: I know, has she has she has she told anyone
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 5: No, of course not no, No, she's a great woman.
Speaker 1: Okay, why are you so? Why are you so, you know,
Speaker 1: embarrassed about this?
Speaker 5: Well? Have you ever heard of anybody else doing it?
Speaker 1: Well? I you know, Look, do you do you do
Speaker 1: you make out with your girlfriends?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Do you put your tongue in her mouth?
Speaker 5: Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Yet yet do you do you lick all around her
Speaker 1: mouth with your tongue?
Speaker 5: I mean I do more than that, but yeah, so, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, look, theoretically, you're licking up all the same stuff
Speaker 1: that you would be eating with her chewed food. So
Speaker 1: is it gross on paper?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: But when you really think about it, you know you're
Speaker 1: not doing anything new.
Speaker 5: I'm so happy that you see this the same way
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 2: Get mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Do you ever do you ever chew food for her?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: No, she doesn't.
Speaker 5: She doesn't really have that problem. That's why she's kind
Speaker 5: of And that's the thing. It was kind of her
Speaker 5: idea to start with, and I was kind of stand
Speaker 5: offish at first, and she's like, let's just try it,
Speaker 5: and so I tried it and it ended up being
Speaker 5: like the key to it. Do you think try the water?
Speaker 1: Do you think?
Speaker 5: She?
Speaker 4: And all that?
Speaker 5: And I just don't like it?
Speaker 1: Do you? Is this something you were her like get
Speaker 1: off to.
Speaker 5: No, No, it's nothing like that. It's just it's just
Speaker 5: she loves me very much, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: M hmm?
Speaker 5: Is that too much love?
Speaker 1: Does she spit it directly into your mouth?
Speaker 5: I don't like. I don't want her sit on my hands,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I mean kind of, well, you don't want her
Speaker 1: to spit on your hands?
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing about it is, I don't. It's well,
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to talk about anything sexual
Speaker 5: or anything like that, but I don't want her to
Speaker 5: regurgitate the food into my hands. You know what? I mean,
Speaker 5: I rareed it just go straight to where my.
Speaker 2: Spit is is.
Speaker 1: Are you with your girlfriend right now? I am cant
Speaker 1: talk to her?
Speaker 5: Yeah you can't. Kaylee's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Here you go get.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hey, what's up? Kayley?
Speaker 5: What's up?
Speaker 1: Tell me about baby birding food into your boyfriend's mouth.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was just at first it was coming
Speaker 4: into me a joke. I was like, Hey, you want
Speaker 4: me to chew it up and put it in your
Speaker 4: mouth for you?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: And then he was like, do you think it works?
Speaker 2: And I was like.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I can give it a shot.
Speaker 4: And then I guess it just became like a thing
Speaker 4: that regularly happened to.
Speaker 5: Became an other joke after after a while.
Speaker 1: Huh. Okay, So do you only do it with spicy
Speaker 1: food or do you do it with any other kind
Speaker 1: of food?
Speaker 4: I mean, anything spicy or sour.
Speaker 1: Do you like doing it or do you kind of
Speaker 1: dread doing it?
Speaker 4: I mean it's not that I dread doing it, but
Speaker 4: I mean I mean sometimes do you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I'm like, when I'm sleeping or something, he'll wake me up,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? To like snack and like that.
Speaker 4: Shit gets a little annoying, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: So I get a little.
Speaker 1: He'll wake you up in the middle of the night
Speaker 1: to chew his food for him.
Speaker 4: I mean, not necessarily in the middle of the night,
Speaker 4: but it's like I'm sleeping in that morning, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, and he's up a little bit earlier
Speaker 4: and he's eaten and it happens to be spicy or sour. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's good times where he's woken me up, like, hey, then,
Speaker 4: will you wake up and help me out o quick?
Speaker 1: And how do you feel when he does that?
Speaker 4: I mean those times, it does get a little irritating,
Speaker 4: But I mean that's I guess it's not any more
Speaker 4: irritating as him asking me to get him a bull
Speaker 4: of cereal or something when he's too lazy to get up.
Speaker 4: I guess I just kind of looked at it as
Speaker 4: one of the downfalls of a committed relationship.
Speaker 5: I can be a lot worse. You've had a lot
Speaker 5: worse relationships.
Speaker 2: Point.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would call that a good point.
Speaker 1: But do you do you also not tell anyone.
Speaker 4: About this, No, I honestly, I'm a little afraid of judgment.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Would you be embarrassed if anyone found out?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Probably do you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you ever chew food and spit it into his mouth?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Is this like a kink thing? Are you guys?
Speaker 2: At all?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: At least not for me.
Speaker 1: How often do you do it?
Speaker 4: I mean it's not like an everyday thing, but anytime,
Speaker 4: like we're at the gas station and I mean we're
Speaker 4: looking for snacks and he might be in the mood
Speaker 4: for like a bag of talkies or like some power
Speaker 4: skittles or something like that.
Speaker 1: You chew the entire bag of sower Skittles.
Speaker 4: And I mean not the entire bag, but I mean,
Speaker 4: however much he's in the mood for eating in that time. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Does this make you guys feel closer together?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I was asking her.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, Dick, that co dependent.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, how how closer can you?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 5: I guess I.
Speaker 4: Guess we are closer than most couples out there?
Speaker 1: All right, is this something you guys would like to
Speaker 1: continue doing?
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if there was a way around it,
Speaker 4: it would be. It's not like I would.
Speaker 5: Love to do it to do.
Speaker 1: How's everything going in relationship? Otherwise?
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 5: Pretty good.
Speaker 4: We're recovering sentinel addicts. So the last year has been
Speaker 4: a whole new path for us after getting sober and clean,
Speaker 4: because the first four and a half years of our
Speaker 4: relationship we were high and using together. So it's been
Speaker 4: a whole new ball game the past year just figuring
Speaker 4: out what our relationship is sober.
Speaker 1: Mmm, how long have you guys been together?
Speaker 2: For?
Speaker 5: Six?
Speaker 4: Here's this Christmas Eve?
Speaker 1: Nice? And did you? Did you meet through fetanyl and
Speaker 1: drugs and stuff?
Speaker 4: He was in drugs before he met me. I was
Speaker 4: kind of just starting to branch out. I smoked weed
Speaker 4: at a young age that I was just kind of
Speaker 4: starting to branch out into pain pills and things like that.
Speaker 4: And we met through uh, one of his family members
Speaker 4: and not really met through drugs but sort of.
Speaker 1: And you guys were getting high together for four years? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the the the impetus or driving force for
Speaker 1: getting sober?
Speaker 4: Well, we got arrested and I had never been in any.
Speaker 2: Legal trouble before.
Speaker 4: And while I was in jail that night, our apartment
Speaker 4: burnt to the ground. It had nothing to do with us.
Speaker 4: They said it was a cigarette butt was thrown out
Speaker 4: and it got up into the lighting of the house
Speaker 4: and caught the house on fire. So when I got
Speaker 4: out to absolutely nothing and no place to live in
Speaker 4: no house, it kind of urged me to get my
Speaker 4: life together. But Bryce was still in jail at the time,
Speaker 4: so instead of getting my life together, I kind of
Speaker 4: lost my shit for a bit. And he got out
Speaker 4: of jail and it was like, we got to get
Speaker 4: our shit together. So we decided to get sober.
Speaker 1: Was it difficult?
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 4: It was definitely a leap of staate. We moved from
Speaker 4: our hometown in Indiana all the way across the country
Speaker 4: to California to go to Detox and get sober.
Speaker 1: Are you glad you did it?
Speaker 4: I am very glad.
Speaker 5: We did it. What so many people died.
Speaker 4: I had friends, family dying in my hometown and my
Speaker 4: life is just falling apart. And I finally decided to
Speaker 4: get sober, and in a couple of months we're actually
Speaker 4: being made house manager. So things are actually looking up.
Speaker 1: You know, in light of everything you got, In light
Speaker 1: of everything you guys are telling me, Baby birding spicy
Speaker 1: food into this guy's mouth doesn't seem all that bad.
Speaker 5: I guess you're right.
Speaker 1: What do you guys, do help you. Guys have been
Speaker 1: clean for two years.
Speaker 4: We've been clean for almost a year now.
Speaker 1: Cool. How's everything going in your individual lives?
Speaker 2: Pretty well?
Speaker 3: Pretty well.
Speaker 4: I've been coming out of my show a lot more lately.
Speaker 4: I making friends and I'm trying to get him out
Speaker 4: of the show and starting to make friends.
Speaker 5: But a little bit harder in my into boot. I
Speaker 5: feel like I find myself sitting at home all day
Speaker 5: watching YouTube videos of things that I should be doing
Speaker 5: but I don't do, And I constantly find myself in
Speaker 5: a fit of break for the smallest things.
Speaker 1: Okay, like what.
Speaker 5: Like if you slightly annoy me, my overreaction will be dramatic.
Speaker 5: If something goes wrong in the day, my overreaction could
Speaker 5: be dramatic. It's it's weird. I I've grown up on
Speaker 5: drugs my whole entire life, so coming off them as
Speaker 5: a young I'm twenty three, so coming off them as
Speaker 5: a young adult. I don't know how to deal with emotion.
Speaker 1: When you say you're watching YouTube videos of things you
Speaker 1: should do. What are these YouTube videos?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 5: Like inspirational videos, just things that you that you can
Speaker 5: change your life easily. Whether it's an whether it's an
Speaker 5: Andrew Tate inspirational video or a Sam Hide inspirational video.
Speaker 5: They call out the things that I'm doing that I
Speaker 5: shouldn't beat, but I just continue to do.
Speaker 1: Bryce, Are you fucking with me?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not? What do you need.
Speaker 1: Dude? What kind of Sam Hide inspirational videos are you watching?
Speaker 5: Okay? So like the one where he says don't smoke weed,
Speaker 5: weeds for losers? You know what I mean? But I
Speaker 5: love weed and it's hard not to smoke weed. And
Speaker 5: some people don't like Sam Hide. I understand that. I
Speaker 5: just want them to fight.
Speaker 1: I does Honestly, what do you bryce? What do you like?
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? What are you trying
Speaker 1: to be inspired to do?
Speaker 5: Honestly, it'd be my ultimate dream would be a successful
Speaker 5: YouTube channel with Kaylee me and her kind of want
Speaker 5: to be nomads and live band life and venture out.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. But I mean, I'll be
Speaker 5: honest with you. Gek. I have something holding me back
Speaker 5: and it's a warrant in my home state. And it's
Speaker 5: like I got that warrant because I came out here
Speaker 5: to California to get sober, and I was supposed to
Speaker 5: go back but I knew if I went back, I
Speaker 5: would just continue getting high and end up in prison.
Speaker 5: So I stayed in California, so if I ever get
Speaker 5: picked up, there's always that hanging over.
Speaker 1: My What about Kaylee? You said your name was yeah here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's what's what's your dream, Caylee? Do you want to
Speaker 1: do all that travel and make videos and whatnot?
Speaker 2: See?
Speaker 4: My dream is more of the travel and no mad life.
Speaker 4: And his thing is more of the making videos than YouTube.
Speaker 4: And there's all these people out there are you know,
Speaker 4: doing it together? So we're already in a relationship, So
Speaker 4: why not mix our dreams and make it a reality?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm all right, I'll bite Bryce. What what kind
Speaker 1: of Andrew tape videos are you watching?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 5: Man? I wish I could find the user. It's they're
Speaker 5: always very well edited and it's just his very good
Speaker 5: bulletin points, just those where's my remote? I wish I
Speaker 5: knew that YouTuber's name right now?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5: I was just now recently watching the one where his
Speaker 5: workout routine in prison. He said that the guards were
Speaker 5: trying to break his spirit, so he did push ups
Speaker 5: after them. I wish that I could have that drive.
Speaker 1: He said, He said, he did push ups at.
Speaker 5: Them, at them, and I know how fucking alpha of you.
Speaker 5: But it's just that type of drive that sits in
Speaker 5: my body that I wish I could fled up from the.
Speaker 1: Son drive drive for what, uh, just.
Speaker 5: To just to be a better person. Now that I've
Speaker 5: gotten sober, I don't I don't want to just sit
Speaker 5: by and waste my years. I feel like life is
Speaker 5: very important to figure out something that you love to
Speaker 5: do and do that.
Speaker 1: What is is what does being a better person look
Speaker 1: like to you?
Speaker 5: A better boyfriend? Always? I always feel like I can
Speaker 5: improve there, a better role model to people, a better son.
Speaker 5: I did my mom dirty and all kinds of ways
Speaker 5: and some some a laugh. I like to make people laugh.
Speaker 1: Kay hmm, what do you? What do you both do
Speaker 1: for work?
Speaker 5: So right now, since we have been recovering and I'm
Speaker 5: transferring states, I have been working on getting my birth
Speaker 5: certificate and everything like that so I can get a
Speaker 5: job here. But I'm about to get this house manager
Speaker 5: job in my program, and that's awesome. That will keep
Speaker 5: me sober for a long time and I can help
Speaker 5: a lot of people that way. But I don't know
Speaker 5: if I want to settle and do that my whole life.
Speaker 1: What about you? Kayley?
Speaker 5: Hold on, let me get her see I look at classership.
Speaker 1: Oh I was asking, uh watch, I kind of forget
Speaker 1: what the question was. I was asking kind of like what. Well,
Speaker 1: I I'm kind of just trying to get a hold of,
Speaker 1: like what your guys is. Oh, well, I think I
Speaker 1: asked you what I asked Bryce. What being a better
Speaker 1: person looks like? So I'll ask the question to you.
Speaker 4: Being a better person for me looks like right now,
Speaker 4: I guess it for me looks like becoming more motivated
Speaker 4: in my life because I have all of these things
Speaker 4: and it's not like big life changing things that I
Speaker 4: want to do. But let it say, for example, like
Speaker 4: I want to clean my room or do my makeup
Speaker 4: that day, and I really want to get up and
Speaker 4: do it, but I just can't find the motivation to
Speaker 4: get my lady ass up out of bed and do
Speaker 4: the things I want to do. It's like, oh, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, what's the point of doing my
Speaker 4: makeup to day when I'm not playing on doing anything?
Speaker 4: When really I just wanted to do it to make
Speaker 4: myself feel better. And I know that but I'll kind
Speaker 4: of talk myself off out of it, like yeah, no,
Speaker 4: So I guess being the better person for me is
Speaker 4: finding the motivation to do the little things that make
Speaker 4: me happier in life.
Speaker 3: Do you.
Speaker 1: Do you do? You ask? I know that Bryce said
Speaker 1: he's working on being a house manager. Do you have
Speaker 1: a gig that you do right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Not currently really since I've gotten sober. I mean,
Speaker 4: I was sixteen when I started using drugs, so I
Speaker 4: didn't really get a chance to grow up or figure
Speaker 4: out what I really wanted to do in life. So
Speaker 4: I've really just kind of worked at restaurants here and
Speaker 4: there and things like that in my time. So I'm
Speaker 4: still trying to figure out what I really want to do.
Speaker 4: I know that I want to work in treatment at
Speaker 4: least for a short, short term goal and trying to
Speaker 4: help other recovering addicts that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: are still in their addiction because I've always had like
Speaker 4: like I said that, I grew up in a small
Speaker 4: town and drugs overtake that little town, and I always
Speaker 4: felt bad for all the friends and acquaintances that I
Speaker 4: have to leave behind in my addiction to gifts over
Speaker 4: and make my life better. So I guess my goal
Speaker 4: would be to work in treatment and try to save
Speaker 4: as many people that I could.
Speaker 1: That's good. I look, it sounds like both of you
Speaker 1: guys have positive goals that you're working towards. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys believe that about yourselves.
Speaker 5: I really appreciate that because.
Speaker 4: Being recovery recovering addicts and being so new in our recovery,
Speaker 4: I mean, we like to think that we're doing the
Speaker 4: right thing and we're making all the right decisions, but
Speaker 4: you're never really sure being a recovering addict. You're never
Speaker 4: really sure if you're doing good enough in your life
Speaker 4: now to a tone for all the things you did
Speaker 4: in the past.
Speaker 1: What are you ensure about.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess I was just I guess
Speaker 4: I've just been unsure if I'm really trying hard enough
Speaker 4: to make my life better, I guess, or if I'm
Speaker 4: just kind of riding the waves.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, you got sober, which is a
Speaker 1: hard thing to do. You have goals and desires. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know you guys that well, but it sounds
Speaker 1: like to me that you're moving forward in a in
Speaker 1: a productive manner.
Speaker 4: I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: For sure. Is Bryce still there?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Serious? Did you want to talk to Bryce or did
Speaker 5: you want to continue with Kayley?
Speaker 1: Uh? I don't know. Well we started this talking about
Speaker 1: fucking uh sour skittles, and uh, this conversation has gotten
Speaker 1: much deeper than I anticipated it would.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing. You're you're, You're you asked the
Speaker 5: right questions.
Speaker 1: GEK, I guess is there anything else that you guys
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about?
Speaker 5: When are you going on tour again?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Probably in twenty twenty four. Listen, Bryce, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to get into this whole thing
Speaker 1: because I just don't. I'm not gonna like, no, get
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and have
Speaker 1: this whole discussion. But uh, be careful with the Andrew
Speaker 1: Tait Sam Hyde shit. All right?
Speaker 5: Oh well, I mean Andrew Tait's a terrible person, and
Speaker 5: I mean Sam Hide's done more than less save things
Speaker 5: on the internet and said some more or less savory thing.
Speaker 5: I'm saying the success in drive. If I have that
Speaker 5: type of power, I wouldn't use it like that.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you guys want to say to
Speaker 1: the people the computer before we go.
Speaker 5: Hey, I love you twitch, I love my juicers.
Speaker 1: And wait, what's a juicer.
Speaker 5: It's a it's an excuse watcher.
Speaker 1: It's a wet watcher. Excuse I don't I don't really
Speaker 1: know anything about excuse me. I know he plays a
Speaker 1: lot of chess.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's pretty he's pretty good chess.
Speaker 1: Well, good luck to you. You guys seem like nice people,
Speaker 1: and you know, give yourself some credit because I you know,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you both started out in pretty uh,
Speaker 1: you know, fucked up circumstances, and you both seem to
Speaker 1: have pretty positive outlooks on life and desires to change
Speaker 1: for the better. So you know, keep keeping the.
Speaker 5: The They were less than favorable and and we were
Speaker 5: we were really lost, and this conversation has helped us.
Speaker 2: A lot good.

Speaker 6: I don't even know where to start? Man, Okay, I
Speaker 6: just moved twenty three hundred miles away from my original hometown.
Speaker 1: Congrats.
Speaker 6: And it's kind of a big step for me. I'm
Speaker 6: only twenty, so it's kind of a big junk for myself.
Speaker 6: Did it all my little car?
Speaker 1: What was the impetus for this twenty three hundred mile move?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'd say just my current living situation wasn't the best.
Speaker 5: My like family and stuff, wasn't all the best either.
Speaker 5: I didn't have like the most support, so I moved
Speaker 5: out here to my brother because.
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting, how old is your brother?
Speaker 6: He's twenty five, twenty four?
Speaker 1: All right, all right, so he's a little bit older.
Speaker 1: What uh? What's how long has he been out wherever
Speaker 1: you are?
Speaker 6: He's been out here for a couple of years. We
Speaker 6: have a plan on getting our own place here in
Speaker 6: about a year or so. He's staying out here with
Speaker 6: like family friend kind of deal thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, so yours are you staying with him? Who's staying
Speaker 1: with a family friend.

Speaker 1: Did he get you a car job?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Basically, very fortunate. Off he works for a pretty cool
Speaker 6: company Portia.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to assume that your brother moved out
Speaker 1: a few years ago for fairly similar reasons that you
Speaker 1: just moved.
Speaker 6: Right on the money, brother, right on it. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Is he your only sibling or do you guys got

Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: We all? Yeah, we all u reminisce of our fucked
Speaker 5: up childhood now that we're getting back on our own
Speaker 5: paths and stuff getting way better than what we were.
Speaker 6: Brought into.
Speaker 1: That's cool, man. That's good that you had older siblings
Speaker 1: because then you didn't have to well I mean no,
Speaker 1: not not to discredit you. You you made a large
Speaker 1: jump that I'm sure was very difficult, but it must
Speaker 1: have been nice to have older siblings that did it first,
Speaker 1: so there was sort of a path laid o out
Speaker 1: of some kind.
Speaker 6: Without them, Yeah, I would have been lost for sure.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling now?
Speaker 5: It's a little shell shock overwhelming, but uh, overall pretty good.
Speaker 5: I'm excited for my new journey and what it waits
Speaker 5: for me?
Speaker 1: Mhm, what very about? Tell me about this new journey
Speaker 1: what it waits for you?
Speaker 6: Well, also I've loved that like a big details. Well,

Speaker 1: Still, how long were you with this person?
Speaker 5: For two years?
Speaker 1: Okay? Hmmm? Do you did it end sort of amicably
Speaker 1: or how did it end?
Speaker 6: It was I want to say bad, neither good. I mean,

Speaker 1: I think, first of all, big up on you. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that you made the decision to get the fuck
Speaker 1: out right, because you could have just stayed. It would
Speaker 1: have been more comfortable for you to stay, but you
Speaker 1: got out and now you're I mean, even if things
Speaker 1: are in sort of a transitionary period right now, it
Speaker 1: sounds as though they're going to iron out and you'll
Speaker 1: be glad you left. So good on you for that.
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir.
