He's not 0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:59.960 into any like pure cartoon. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.359 No, I don't believe.

And I can understand why. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.960 U what Princess Peach, I'm assuming. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.839 I don't really know and all the characters, but he 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.000 really wants to see you with me. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:28.080 Okay. I feel like we think it's Prese. I feel 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.679 like we think it's Princess Peach, but actually he's gonna 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.120 pull his penis out when Bowser comes on the screen. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.040 I think that's it. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:36.560 I could do that. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:42.280 Powerful characters, okay, but. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.640 I feel like it was just powerful characters he would 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.080 be more into, not like children cartoons. I feel like 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.440 it'd be like actual people or actual like uh, like 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.560 movies or stories of fictional characters that are you know, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.720 big and powerful versus these you know, like animals and 0:06:58.680 --> 0:06:59.480 toys and stuff. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.800 I mean, all the characters that you just listed do 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:11.240 have you know, undeniable sexual energies to them? Lightning McQueen, confident, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:20.640 charismatic Eve, Uh, you know, a caretaker, the very supportive 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.880 ah that we already covered, the girl from Shark Tales. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:32.040 So let's not pretend like we don't understand where your 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:37.800 homie is coming from. Okay, let's level with him on that. Okay, Uh, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.160 tell me more about why this is just serving to you. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.360 Like I said, it's kind of in the confides of 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.840 just when him are hanging out so like our boy time, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.880 you know, playing games or like playing Xbox stuff like that, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.680 it always turns into this conversation. It's always brought up 0:07:55.320 --> 0:08:00.760 pretty frequently. Yeah, So I'm not really sure how to 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.120 digress from that conversation and more of him having these 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.520 like in depth of his sexual experiences while thinking of 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:12.720 these characters when it happens. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.520 My thing with and this is more of your friend's 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:19.000 issue than yours is. Look, I think there's a fine line, 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:26.120 a major difference between being sexually attracted to Lightning McQueen 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:33.680 and making your identity as a human being being sexually 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:41.760 attracted to Lightning McQueen. And I think your friend has 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.880 fallen into the trap of the latter half of what 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:52.120 I just said, because clearly he's bringing this up so 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.439 much because it has become a part of who he is, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:04.040 and that is in many ways. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.080 Yeah, that's understandable. So my issue, like it again, like 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.160 that's his issue itself, But I'm not sure if it's 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.640 something I should bring up and try to get him 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.319 away from per se because you know, that's that's him. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.800 I don't want to go into that much stuff to 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:26.080 belittle him in any meats, But I you know, don't 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.720 know if this friendship could possibly continue for much longer, 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.520 if this is going to be all it's about. 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.319 Have you had Look, you got to have a conversation 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.719 with your friend and be like, look, dude, here's the thing, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.200 Like if you want to jerk off to the wooly 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.320 mammoth from ice age, like I implore you to live 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.840 your best life, but I don't. You don't have to 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.199 tell me about it every time you do. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.680 Okay, that's understandable. But what if he takes that the 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.679 wrong way. Hey, I'm the only person he could talk 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:58.320 about this too. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.920 Just let him. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, you got it. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.400 I mean we got to get serious. Yeah, I mean, look, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:10.240 it's just about setting boundaries. I think, you know, if 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.559 you don't want to talk about maybe give him an allowance. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.840 Like you can describe suck fuck I guess you would 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.880 fuck the engine hole, the exhaust pipe. Yeah, I know 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.200 he can tell him, he can. Okay, so you weren't 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.240 even listening when he was telling you about all this stuff. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.640 I try to drown it out, like it's more of 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.679 like the last time he had talked about it was 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.319 like Doc Hudson, which is not you know, it's kind 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.600 of like an older car per se. But he was 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.839 more of like describing the sexual features of the car 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:51.160 than like the actual presence of fucking the car. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.559 What what was he what was he saying? 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.640 Like how smooth it is, and how like the curves 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.360 are all together, and how like he's very shiny and 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:09.480 the fender is just right in your face. He also 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.880 said that the lips were perfect size and succulent, and 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.679 that is in the direct quote. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:25.000 I don't know where in the universe exactly, but somewhere 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:31.120 out there is a perfect community for your friend to 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:40.160 exist in, and it is probably not you. So I 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.880 don't know, maybe you let him free and you let 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.959 him experiment, because look, he's there's got to be somebody 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.679 else who is as obsessed with fucking cartoon characters as 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:53.040 your friend is, and for his own sake, he should, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.920 you know, spend some time finding that person instead of 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:57.960 wasting his breath on you. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.000 Okay, So do you think, like, in terms of the friendship, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.719 I should have a conversation with him, and it's like 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.800 disagreeable at all, I should probably just cut him loose. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.960 Yeah, I think I think, uh, well, I'm not going 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.959 to tell you expressly what to do, but I think 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.120 you should have a conversation with him. And if he, 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.040 you know, continues to bring up all this stuff, then 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.880 uh he didn't, then he doesn't give a shit about 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.840 you know, the boundaries that you have tried to set 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.240 with him, and I think that's legitimate grounds for not 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.640 wanting to be around him as much. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.280 Yeah, that's my thought as well. I just want to 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.280 talk to someone about it. It's kind of weird to 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.120 talk to him, I know, because obviously they'll know who 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:42.720 I'm talking about. 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.640 That is funny that they would. They would obviously know 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:53.120 who you're talking about unless you have multiple friends Like this, well. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.360 It's my childhood friend, so obviously everyone know who that is. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.040 Well I, by the way, I have to ask, like 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.000 as I just have just you know and look and 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.160 look this you know question doesn't come from anywhere in particular, 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.760 but I am as his childhood friend, I have to 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.280 know what was his childhood like. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.360 Nothing too like crazy, I feel like as a snared 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.760 children like growing up wise like he had no major 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.160 issues in his life. Parents are both still there, grandparents 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.920 are all still there, luckily, middle class, good neighborhood, nice school, 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.600 like it wasn't anything to bring out these certain desires 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.040 per se, like no trauma on his life could kind 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.319 of contend with it. So I'm not really sure where 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.120 all this kind of came from. I'm not sure if 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.959 it came from his childhood watching so many of these 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:45.480 movies or maybe like just how it's like, obviously I 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.400 don't really know his full intake of his childhood growing up. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.400 I don't know, like all the major details that happened 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.760 in his life, but from what I know, there was 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.800 no like specific tragic event. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.360 Don't let him back off in the theater during the 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:06.360 Mario movie. Do that for the sake of society. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:06.600 Having the conversation before that comes. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.240 Out, hopefully. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.360 Is there anything else you want to say to the 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.760 people of the computer before we go, Matthew, just. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.880 Have a great night. Everyone you to thank you? 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:16.480 Mm hm. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:26.480 Oh, how about this one? The ants from ants? I 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:36.680 say no more?

Let him have that one. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:53.240 Hi there, how's it going now? It's going good? How 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:53.520 are you? 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:02.240 I'm just chilling with my cat, and I figured I 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:09.720 tell you guys about a time when I worked in 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.360 like a customer support job. We'll keep some some details light. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:23.080 I would I would basically help them with their internet 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.400 you know, they call in, have me reset their password, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:35.520 turn on and off their WiFi box, and uh. Essentially, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:43.520 essentially the unusual part. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.000 Is it says here that you used to use Google 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.440 to look at random people's houses. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:56.520 Yeah, so you ever go on Google street View and 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.840 just kind of walk around. Yeah, you know, just just 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.280 get in the sights. I really like doing that. It's 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.160 it's pretty therapeutic. It's something that I've come back to 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.880 a lot, and it just just reminded me of the show. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.840 You know, when you go to Vegas and meet random people, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.680 it's like fishing. You know, you meet a random person 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.680 and make a connection with them. You know, I think about, 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.600 you know, somebody's grandma that I helped connect their printer, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:35.800 like that person. You know, I couldn't call them back 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.600 if I wanted to. You know, it's it's part of 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.280 the job. You have responsibility to, you know, have their 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.760 address and give them their help. You know, a lot 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.640 of the time they're pissed and then they're like, why 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.000 is my wif I not working? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.640 Okay, so sot me can I can? I let me 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.600 interview for a second. So I just want to make 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.840 sure this is clear. So you you talk to the grandma, 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.840 you help her with her internet, and then you look 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.160 up her address on Google Maps and look at her. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:15.479 House basically in another tab. And it was you know, 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.000 I try to you know, people that were angry or 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:20.760 people that. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.280 Were okay, wait real quick, real quick. So all right, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:29.000 so you you okay, now I understand, all right, you 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.359 are you are remotely on the phone with an old 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:41.320 lady and you're helping her with her internet, and in 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.800 another tab, you go on Google Maps and type in 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.679 her address to look at her house, uh, to see 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.000 and so like, like while you're on the phone with her. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.480 Yeah, And while I was helping, there was a lot 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.240 of dead air where I would just kind of like 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.280 read them the Wi Fi password or something, or I'd 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.280 be waiting for them to enter in the passwords, so 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.720 you know, I'd go to their house and take a 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.600 walk around the block see what their neighborhood's like. And 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.879 it was really something that I tried to not be 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:17.400 creepy about. It was more of like a way to travel. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:21.000 A lot of the memories I made of doing that 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.240 street view. I went to I think Oregon has the Redwoods, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.720 and there was a really nice neighborhood that was just 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.760 pristine roads in the Redwoods and very nice houses. And 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.480 I just thought, what, you know, what it would be 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.399 like to live there, Because I live in Michigan and 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:44.320 I've lived in this sort of Michigan Michigan trees my 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.040 entire life. And then I would go to Arizona on 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.440 the next call and it would just you know, there's 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:58.760 no lawns, It's just rocks and cactuses. And it really 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.240 reminded me of the show. So I just want to 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:05.760 call in and uh, I guess I really appreciate a 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.040 lot of the callers, and I appreciate you, Lyle. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.480 Now do you think it would be Now if let's 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.439 say I looked up the callers addresses and I was 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.359 like looking at your house while I was talking to 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:19.520 Do you think that would be weird? 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.800 I see, that's the thing I'm trying to think. Was 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.959 it unethical of me to kind of take that information 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.159 like it is a little bit of a violation of 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.639 the privacy And it was. I felt like it was 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.680 more of a curiosity. But I never did anything harmful 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.840 with it. And you know, it was kind of just 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.840 like if I if I had been an in person 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.920 tech helper, it seems like it would be the same thing. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.080 Like I went to their house, I was gone, I'll 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.160 never see them again and I thank them for the time, 0:19:54.240 --> 0:20:00.440 bye bye. And I really didn't see any ethical pri problem. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.320 And you know, just taking a walk around the neighborhood, 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.119 almost like imagining walking you know, going to a Starbucks 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.320 er now Starbucks coffee, but you know, just seeing the 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:19.080 stores and traveling with Google Maps. So like a lot 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.120 of callers I've noticed want to get out and travel 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.640 and just see the world, but you can, you literally can't. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:30.919 Street view it's very good. So yeah, that's that's just 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:36.399 something I wanted to spread my love, just just cruising 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.359 around in the street view, even if it came from 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.200 my tech support job. I tried to make some help 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:43.680 some out of it. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:52.760 Have you ever gone back to somebody's house, Like you're 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.199 on the phone with them, you're helping them out to 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:55.919 tech support, and then while you're on the phone with them, 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.399 you're out their house, and then later you're like, you know, 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.320 I kind of like that old lady's house. I'm gonna 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.440 I'm gonna like later at night, you're just in your 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.040 bed on your computer and you're like, I'm gonna go 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.720 back to that lady's house. You ever do something like that? 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.040 I bet I have gone through the Google history and 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.760 just seen lots of the different places that I've searched 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.520 when I was working that this is a very long 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:22.040 time ago, you know, just to look back at all 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.639 the virtual places I've traveled, it's like, I don't know's 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.480 it seems like geoguesser. I guess the we call center 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.159 part was just call center geo guesser. I guess I 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:34.160 knew the location. 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:41.199 Okay, so let's talk more about this. You use this, 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:46.840 uh looking up people's dresses that you're helping with tech 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.480 support port and walking around their neighborhoods. Virtually, you use 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.600 it as a way to virtually travel. Correct. 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.440 Oh, yeah, basically. And there's been a few times where 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.760 I'm just stress and I'll just just type in a 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:06.719 random city or or zoom into somewhere in Europe and 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:11.560 go walk through the streets and street view and it's 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.000 been something that's pretty cool. I think more people should 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:19.400 do it, honestly. Now street view. 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:24.680 Now hunter, do you ever do you have the desire 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:29.480 to actually get out of your house and go to 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.720 a bunch of new places? 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.879 Well, I drive. I drive the same kind of route 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:44.359 for work, so I do get out a bit. I've 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.159 never I've traveled to. When I was about twelve or thirteen, 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.520 I traveled to Texas and we went to Mexico just 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:56.320 for day, and it's just a different world. Everything's so different. 0:22:56.320 --> 0:23:03.000 It just seems extremely extremely different. 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:11.800 Hunter, Do you do you do you still work remotely? No? 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.280 I don't anymore. Actually I used to go on stream 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:16.720 view a lot more. And this is like back in 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.160 like twenty fourteen. I think, do. 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:20.560 You still go on street view at all? 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.320 I haven't, But during the pandemic I randomly picked it 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:33.840 back up just as I stress relief or you know, 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:35.520 it's just a random curiosity thing. 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:51.359 Hunter, I feel as though you might. I mean, look, man, 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:57.480 you're doing all this traveling through Google Maps. That's good 0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.439 that you're finding a way to use your desires. But 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:01.480 I don't know, I don't know what to make of you, 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.880 because it sounds like you have this deep desire within 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.880 you to go and actually travel. 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:16.320 I mean, I definitely it's hard because I love where 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:22.240 I live in Michigan, and you know, just for life circumstances, 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:25.879 I'm pretty comfortable in my situation. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:32.800 Hunter. People do this thing. People People people go on 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.920 vacations where they don't they continue to live where they 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:42.400 currently live, and they travel to another place only briefly, 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.200 and then return back to where they live. 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:53.720 That is a good proposition. I feel like I would 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.080 have to travel far enough to where it's a bit different, 0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:02.480 Like I haven't been up to the up and it's 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:11.560 pretty intense, it's very snowy. I think Canada would be cool. 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:13.720 I think we're going to go into Canada. It would 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:14.800 be a cool goal for this year. 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:19.040 Okay, Okay, well, uh, I. 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.520 Guess I'll put myself in Canada season places to go 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:22.920 in Canada. 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.280 Yes, I'm trying to think if I have any comments 0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:30.320 as to how I feel about you looking up people's addresses. 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.320 I don't feel strongly about it. 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:36.320
