Speaker 4: I was focusing on it, I'm happy. Oh my god,

Speaker 5: So I was really hoping that I get you.
Speaker 1: I got okay, I want Look and by the way,

Speaker 1: you know this. I'm not a real person, guy thing
Speaker 1: who does real therapy anything.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I didn't think that.
Speaker 1: I'm down. I mean, hit me with the thing.
Speaker 6: Oh no, it's boy problems. It's not a real issue.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh yeah, hit me. Let's see, let's see what happens.
Speaker 4: I guess it comes down to I can't tell if
Speaker 4: I met this dude and he's twenty seven, he's to
Speaker 4: old for me, but well maybe not.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know how to feel about that.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 6: It took me all of.
Speaker 4: Five seconds to be like, I would do twenty things
Speaker 4: with you. So I told him that and then he
Speaker 4: rejected me.
Speaker 1: And wait, hold on, I'm sorry, I maybe I didn't.
Speaker 1: You said you met a twenty seven year old guy,
Speaker 1: and you told him you would do funny things with him.
Speaker 6: Not in those particular words.
Speaker 8: I told him.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's what you just said.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that that's not what I literally said
Speaker 4: to him, was that I would do funny things to him.
Speaker 6: I mean I would say that, but I didn't.
Speaker 7: That's a rusty.
Speaker 1: Okay. Continue, he.
Speaker 4: Said no because he has this he was looking forward
Speaker 4: to this date and he was like, I think it's
Speaker 4: going to go well. And because I was drunk, and
Speaker 4: I can't remember the other reason. There were three things
Speaker 4: that he said that he said no.
Speaker 1: But ever since then, I don't know how I feel
Speaker 1: about either of you. Could you Okay, so you like
Speaker 1: this guy? Yeah, but he's too, but he doesn't. What's
Speaker 1: what's his deal? What is the what's the point of contention?
Speaker 9: I can't tell if he's being nice with me, just
Speaker 9: being nice to me, or and like being really friendly,
Speaker 9: or if he's like he said no in the moment
Speaker 9: and maybe this tender girl like didn't work out and
Speaker 9: he really only said no because I was drunk.
Speaker 1: Oh if he said if he said no, then move on.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, so he's a friend of a friend
Speaker 4: and I hang out with that the friends and I
Speaker 4: see him, and.
Speaker 1: How often do you see it? We all have we
Speaker 1: all have to hang out with I mean, we've all
Speaker 1: had a thing like that where there's a person that
Speaker 1: there was a weird thing with that remains in the
Speaker 1: friend group. But I don't think you're doing yourself any
Speaker 1: favors by holding out hope. I mean, if you really
Speaker 1: want to date people, you know, well, first of all,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you got going on out
Speaker 1: side of your dating life?
Speaker 6: I was about to leave for basic training for the
Speaker 6: Air Force, and I really I don't I don't have
Speaker 6: feelings for people like this often at all. So I
Speaker 6: was really hoping That's why I said I wanted the
Speaker 6: first thing that I said about the funny things during
Speaker 6: the attempt, because you caught my attention, the first person
Speaker 6: to catch my attention and quite a while, and then
Speaker 6: I only I got a month to go and you know,
Speaker 6: a last last hurrah kind of.
Speaker 4: So I mean I was basically looking through to make
Speaker 4: me say that you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, but can you not what can't you do that?
Speaker 1: At the Air Force? Do they kick you out?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna gonna be dry for two months and
Speaker 6: I've already been.
Speaker 9: I it's been.
Speaker 1: We'll go to the club.
Speaker 9: But it's as as a girl.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that shit isn't whenever I want, usually
Speaker 4: first got to reject me since in high.
Speaker 1: School it sucks, so then be then to deal with that,
Speaker 1: Well you gotta then then that's actually this is a
Speaker 1: good experience for you. This is a first person that's
Speaker 1: ever rejected you.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I'll put myself out there like that
Speaker 4: that often, and when I do, I'm like, already damn
Speaker 4: sure that.
Speaker 8: I mean, like.
Speaker 4: It don't sound arrogant, but I'm kind of cute, you know,
Speaker 4: like anime nerd wet dream because I'm short and part Asians.
Speaker 5: It's true.
Speaker 1: I think you should go. I think you go to
Speaker 1: the Air Force. You put one hundred percent of yourself
Speaker 1: into doing Air Force ship hopping through old spare tires
Speaker 1: and getting mud in your face and you know, developing
Speaker 1: mental stress. Just a little immerse yourself into it. Stop
Speaker 1: thinking about I mean, this is what I would tell
Speaker 1: a guy too, you know, stop thinking about sex for
Speaker 1: two months and just immerse yourself in what you're doing.
Speaker 1: And don't this. I hate this twenty seven year old guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him, but I hate.
Speaker 2: Him me too.
Speaker 1: Don't even don't even think about him. Just go go
Speaker 1: to training, immerse yourself in that, and then when you're done,
Speaker 1: you know, go wild, do what you gotta do. But
Speaker 1: for now, focus on what's in front of you.
Speaker 8: Thanks.
Speaker 4: I probably needed to hear that. I'll try and take
Speaker 4: that in for sure.
Speaker 1: What'd you say? Your name was, Paige? Well page, you
Speaker 1: have a good night and your good luck do it
Speaker 1: stopping through the tires. I've seen like one movie about
Speaker 1: the army and that's all I know, So good luck
Speaker 1: doing the things that I saw in that movie.
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks, I love it.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: Bye.
Speaker 2: Come from Jonathan.
Speaker 1: Jonathan. Hello, Hello Jonathan.
Speaker 2: Hi loo, how are you?
Speaker 1: You know? I'm all right, Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2: No problem, no problem.
Speaker 1: You know, not a lot of people ask what were
Speaker 1: we gonna say?
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, ignoring cause from my ex girlfriend,
Speaker 2: just so I can talk to you about a problem
Speaker 2: that I had even during the relationship with her.
Speaker 1: You know, all right, we can actually shortcut this real
Speaker 1: quick because I think right there is the I think
Speaker 1: everything when people everything that I would tell you is
Speaker 1: to tell everything that you're about to tell me to her.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, this has nothing to do with her, Like,
Speaker 2: this is more of a problem that I have with myself.
Speaker 2: I guess. Let me just like get straight to it.
Speaker 2: So I have an insane masturbation problem, Okay, Like I
Speaker 2: find myself constantly like I'll wake up in the mornings
Speaker 2: and then I'll just get a strong urge just too masurbate,
Speaker 2: and then I'm coming at least three to five times
Speaker 2: a day, like minimum, and sometimes even more, like sometimes
Speaker 2: even more. And it's just like when before I got
Speaker 2: into the relationship that I was like that I recently
Speaker 2: just got out of. I was like, Okay, maybe once
Speaker 2: I get into this relationship, I'm not gonna have those
Speaker 2: urges anymore, since I'm gonna have like a girlfriend, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a girl friend to be able to
Speaker 2: do stuff with. But it ended up like just making
Speaker 2: it even worse, Like I would stay, Yeah, it made
Speaker 2: it worse because we would have sex, you know, we'd
Speaker 2: exchange nudes and stuff like that, and I find I
Speaker 2: would find myself now just not even not just watching porn,
Speaker 2: but just like looking at those news as well, and
Speaker 2: then just jacking off even more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your your overall sexual your overall libido is higher,
Speaker 1: so you're you're masterbaking even more. But here here's my okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, three to five, I mean you said
Speaker 1: three to five minimum.
Speaker 2: Minimum, minimum minimum, it goes beyond that, Like, that's just
Speaker 2: like the for me.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm less concerned with the frequency of the
Speaker 1: masturbation as I am with what does is the masturbation
Speaker 1: interfere with other aspects of your life? How is it
Speaker 1: affecting you? Because look, I mean I don't know what
Speaker 1: you do in your life. If you're like, if you're
Speaker 1: if you're ignoring the outside world to go masturbate, if
Speaker 1: your mom has called, if whatever, your parents are calling
Speaker 1: you down for dinner, and you're like, I can't because
Speaker 1: you're masturbating. If you're if you're skipping school to masturbate,
Speaker 1: if you're going to skip work to masturbate. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're masturbating, you feel like it's making you depressed.
Speaker 1: I mean that I'm more concerned about what the effects
Speaker 1: of it are than I am with the bare bones
Speaker 1: quantity of it. Mm hmm, what what do you think
Speaker 1: those effects have been.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's mainly just affecting. Like I think it
Speaker 2: honestly had a huge part to play with with like
Speaker 2: my like my past relationship, like I said, and I
Speaker 2: think it was the main cause of why I wanted
Speaker 2: to like leave that relationship. I felt like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at all these girls that I'm watching on like
Speaker 2: like important and stuff, and I'm like, Okay, you know,
Speaker 2: these girls are like very attractive, most of them are attractive.
Speaker 2: And then another aspect is like you see the guys
Speaker 2: like you know, a dick, and it's just like, okay,
Speaker 2: these guys have unnaturally like not unnaturally, but like it's
Speaker 2: not very common to have, like penis is as large
Speaker 2: as theirs, and it just has like huge self esteem issues.
Speaker 2: And it literally like constantly throughout the day, it's just like, man,
Speaker 2: am I like big enough? Am I? Like? You know,
Speaker 2: am I actually satisfying?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 2: When I was in the relationship, am I satisfying my partner? Like,
Speaker 2: And it was a constant like just like questioning that
Speaker 2: I just kept question myself and I would even I
Speaker 2: would ask my partner, like my my ex, I'd be like,
Speaker 2: you know, am I enough? And she'd say yes, and
Speaker 2: even then it wasn't enough to reassure myself that like
Speaker 2: that it was that I was enough and stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: because you just like watch all these porn stars and
Speaker 2: then they have like just really large jesuses and it's
Speaker 2: just like that's not what I have. So it just
Speaker 2: you know, messages with your mind. And that's just what
Speaker 2: I kept having, like like just self esteem issues, wondering
Speaker 2: if I was enough, and and then also like wanting
Speaker 2: more than what I already had because of them of
Speaker 2: the point, you.
Speaker 1: Know, totally, Yeah, I mean, I'm glad that you told
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you told us all that because that's
Speaker 1: that kind of thing is more what I think you
Speaker 1: should be focusing on than just arbitrary number of how
Speaker 1: often you're you're masturbating so you don't feel you feel
Speaker 1: like you watch Well, also, where are you watching porn?
Speaker 1: Because like I watched like amateur porn where like the guy,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll actively go out and try to find the
Speaker 1: dude who has you know, a chubby harry belly and
Speaker 1: a normal sized penis, so I throw myself in that situation.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, look, this is the thing though, I've been watching
Speaker 2: porn for a really long time, and he gets boring.
Speaker 2: It really does, like just you know, like normal like
Speaker 2: like girl guy, it gets boring. So I've moved on
Speaker 2: from normal like nothing and nothing crazy, but I watch
Speaker 2: like just pure hen tie and like just gay porn.
Speaker 2: And I'm not like gig, I promise you, like.
Speaker 1: Wait, you've been watching gay porn just to spice it up,
Speaker 1: even though you're not.
Speaker 2: Gay exactly, and it like, I'm not trolling, just so
Speaker 2: you know, like people are saying in it said that
Speaker 2: I'm trolling. I promise you I'm not, but like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, I like it just it's more interesting than
Speaker 2: just watching regular porn.
Speaker 1: So okay, So I mean when you're in the territory
Speaker 1: of now I'm kind of curious when you're in the
Speaker 1: territory of you're watching gay porn to spice things up,
Speaker 1: is yeah? I mean at that point, are you even
Speaker 1: titillating the same senses as you were? Like is it
Speaker 1: even sexual if you're not? I mean, are you I
Speaker 1: mean are you are you attracted to men?
Speaker 2: I mean I don't think I am like genuinely like
Speaker 2: saying because I'm on, I'm on the phone with you,
Speaker 2: like you don't know who I am, and I would
Speaker 2: tell you literally anything in this like moment, I'm not
Speaker 2: afraid like to say anything, but like I genuinely don't
Speaker 2: think I am gays. Okay, Okay, So it's just like
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just an aspect or a way
Speaker 2: to spice it up, because I just I've been masturbating
Speaker 2: for so long, and I've been like watching porn for
Speaker 2: so long, and it just got so boring that I
Speaker 2: had to spice it up. And the way that I
Speaker 2: spiced it up was watching different kinds of porn, and
Speaker 2: I just watched either gay or him time and it
Speaker 2: just actually works.
Speaker 1: You know. I would love to this is this is
Speaker 1: what I would love to hear, Like what have you
Speaker 1: so have you talked to like a real therapist about this?
Speaker 2: I've never never Are my mom's doing that? My no? No,
Speaker 2: because okay, so I'm I'm pretty young, like I'm I'm eighteen,
Speaker 2: so it's hard for me like to do stuff like
Speaker 2: that without like consulting like my parents. I guess about it.
Speaker 1: And are you in college?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in college.
Speaker 1: And you can check and see if you can, like
Speaker 1: go to your colleges like counseling service and ship and
Speaker 1: find someone. I understand why you don't want to, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, were you about to say, have you talked
Speaker 1: to your parents about this?
Speaker 2: I'm assuming no, no, No, that's something I don't think
Speaker 2: I would ever do, honestly, like talk to my page.
Speaker 2: Like I think my mom, for sure, she knows like
Speaker 2: that about my sex life, Like she's just cool about
Speaker 2: it and stuff. But it's not like I go into
Speaker 2: detail about it. But she doesn't know this aspect of
Speaker 2: what I'm doing, you know, in my own free time.
Speaker 2: But she's known that I have sex and I've like
Speaker 2: done stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But it's just right.
Speaker 1: But what you're talking about, I feel like, is I mean,
Speaker 1: unless if you know, I mean, if you're I think
Speaker 1: it'd be one thing if you know, maybe you're you're
Speaker 1: you're further to the gay side of the spectrum than
Speaker 1: you originally thought. But that it doesn't seem like that's
Speaker 1: what's going on. It seems like you're trying to like
Speaker 1: you might have like a I think this is like
Speaker 1: an addiction.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, I think it is, honestly, And it's just
Speaker 2: like I feel like I can't really just get enough.
Speaker 2: But at the same time.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh no, you're right.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, it's said call failed.
Speaker 2: But I guess the Yeah, okay, weird we did.
Speaker 3: Wait where was I.
Speaker 1: You were talking about? Fucking fuck what we're talking about?
Speaker 5: Hmm?
Speaker 1: Oh you said we were talking about how this is
Speaker 1: probably in an addiction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. But I feel like it's spreading onto something
Speaker 2: like much more since I'm just exploring different things. I
Speaker 2: guess it's it's just a way for me to kind
Speaker 2: of experiment, I guess with things that I might like
Speaker 2: and might not like. And I feel like, but you
Speaker 2: weren't phrasing you like that.
Speaker 1: You weren't phrasing it as like you were experimenting. You
Speaker 1: were phrasing it as if you have exhausted every frickin'
Speaker 1: uh everything else, and so now you're moving on. You
Speaker 1: didn't really didn't. You didn't phrase it as if you
Speaker 1: were like, oh, this was cool. Now I'm gonna try this.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna try this.
Speaker 2: You know, you're right, You're right, You're right. So it
Speaker 2: is it's like that, like I just I got tired
Speaker 2: of just regular like cliche porn, you know, and I
Speaker 2: just I don't know. It was just something about like
Speaker 2: I guess just how long it's been since I've been
Speaker 2: watching for because I've been watching porn since I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, twelve eleven. Maybe I used to, you
Speaker 2: know what, I used to masturbate too. I used to
Speaker 2: masturbate too, Tonami. I would watch Naruto, like I would
Speaker 2: watch Naruto and I would watch like some the female characters,
Speaker 2: like I would stare at them and I would masturbate.
Speaker 2: And I was in the sixth grade when I would like,
Speaker 2: do this, and I that's when I started masturbating, like
Speaker 2: since the sixth grade, and from there on out, that's
Speaker 2: when it's just started. Like at first, it wasn't a problem,
Speaker 2: Like it really wasn't. It was just once every every
Speaker 2: week like or so like, which is completely normal I
Speaker 2: would say for any like male, I guess to do
Speaker 2: it just once every once or twice a week. And
Speaker 2: of course it was like that for a really long time.
Speaker 2: And then I don't think it was until two years
Speaker 2: ago where it just became really like it became an addiction,
Speaker 2: like an actual addiction. I think I'm legitimately addicted, and
Speaker 2: it's it's been so hard to stop, like the way
Speaker 2: I've gone for like a week. That's the longest I've
Speaker 2: gone ever since like this problem began. And then I
Speaker 2: find myself just thinking I'll go back into like I'll
Speaker 2: fall back into it. And I was what gets me
Speaker 2: is this thought, like what am I exactly trying to
Speaker 2: achieve by stopping?
Speaker 1: Like regardless, yeah, you need you sort of feel like
Speaker 1: you I get very confirm you feel like you need
Speaker 1: a goal in mind that you're working towards as you
Speaker 1: try to stop.
Speaker 2: And when I can't find it, I just say, you
Speaker 2: know what, fucky Like I'm yeah, then why not? And
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happens. And then I end up just
Speaker 2: going back. And it's just like it's a cycle, like
Speaker 2: I've tried stopping, and now it's been I want to say,
Speaker 2: it's been like more than half a year or so
Speaker 2: since I've gone on an actual break, like on a
Speaker 2: break longer than a day, and it's just like so constant,
Speaker 2: and I was really like wondering, how am I gonna
Speaker 2: stop somebody like this? And I feel like and I
Speaker 2: was just watching your show and I'm like, Okay, I
Speaker 2: see people coming on here, you know, talking like obscure
Speaker 2: things that they've done and and just you know, problems
Speaker 2: that I guess they might they want fixed, and and
Speaker 2: I'm like, what are the chances that I actually get
Speaker 2: into this? And I'm like it's gonna be very low,
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna do it. And and I guess
Speaker 2: I just kind of I spam called a bit just
Speaker 2: to see if I would actually like work, and I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, uh, this isn't gonna work. So I
Speaker 2: just called one last time and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: what a coincident. I actually got in and and just
Speaker 2: to like share this, like like what was I going
Speaker 2: to lose? Honestly, like most people don't really know no
Speaker 2: anybody on here, like disn't know who I am and stuff,
Speaker 2: So when there's nothing really at stake, I was just
Speaker 2: feeling like I could just you know, go all out
Speaker 2: and just share what I'm like going through.
Speaker 1: So too, would you be willing to do exactly what
Speaker 1: you just did for all of us but to an
Speaker 1: actual therapist.
Speaker 2: To an actual therapist, I feel like.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I know that this is anonymous
Speaker 1: and it's way different when you're talking to a therapist,
Speaker 1: of course, but would you would you? I mean because
Speaker 1: a therapist who was like trained in like a therapists
Speaker 1: are able to actually give you, you know, sort of better.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a whole there's a whole science to
Speaker 1: addiction that, Yeah, you should look into or work with
Speaker 1: a professional on. Yeah, would you be willing to would
Speaker 1: you be willing to like make an appointment at your
Speaker 1: school go to the place fill out the.
Speaker 3: Stupid right now?
Speaker 2: Because of like COVID and everything, I think everything is
Speaker 2: over the phone or like through zoom calls, so it
Speaker 2: might be a little bit easier like that. And I
Speaker 2: honestly think I probably would do it since I don't
Speaker 2: really have to like go and see somebody physically, and
Speaker 2: I don't even think I need a zoom call or anything.
Speaker 2: I just can be over the phone like how it
Speaker 2: is and how. But I think legit, I could probably
Speaker 2: do it for sure. I would just have to see,
Speaker 2: like call my school and see like, oh, well, can
Speaker 2: I get in contact with so I can talk to
Speaker 2: somebody about what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that would be what you should
Speaker 1: do next. But I mean this, I'm glad that you
Speaker 1: you know, and also you did because everyone thought that
Speaker 1: you were trying whenever people talk about this, I don't
Speaker 1: care whether or not controlling, but you know it was.
Speaker 1: It was good that you were able to sort of
Speaker 1: talk out your issue a little bit, so you have
Speaker 1: a better idea of what you would want the therapist
Speaker 1: to know when you go in to talk to them.
Speaker 1: So I would, yeah, whatever idea you have in your
Speaker 1: head of what's going on with you right now, I
Speaker 1: would hold on to that and save it so that
Speaker 1: when you do get to go to a therapist, you
Speaker 1: can put it out to them and see what they
Speaker 1: have to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, of course. Well I think honestly, I've
Speaker 2: gotten everything that I needed out of my chest and
Speaker 2: I won't take any more of your time. But I
Speaker 2: really appreciate what you said, and I will look into
Speaker 2: talking to someone because this is something that I definitely
Speaker 2: want to like turnover, I guess. But thank you for
Speaker 2: your time, Lyle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, man, you you have you have a good night.
Speaker 1: Would you say your name.
Speaker 7: Was you too?

Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 1: All right, what have you had visions about?
Speaker 5: Okay? So when I was sak, I was having a
Speaker 5: birthday party, right. And this is a funny situation because
Speaker 5: my birthday party was happening in front of my actual house,
Speaker 5: so right across the street. You know the picture I'm
Speaker 5: painting here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, two places that are across from each other.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 5: So I go to my house to check on my
Speaker 5: mom because she's still getting ready. My dad had just
Speaker 5: left to buy some beer because like adults getting drunk
Speaker 5: at a children's party, right, And so as I'm walking
Speaker 5: across the street towards my mom, I see this guy
Speaker 5: standing and he looks exactly like my dad, holding a present,
Speaker 5: and he's waving at me, telling me to cross the street.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, this isn't adding up because my dad
Speaker 5: just left, so I don't cross the street. I'm like
Speaker 5: this stranger danger, I'm not going to cross the street.
Speaker 5: So I go through to I'm like, Mom, or is
Speaker 5: my dad? I just saw this guy. Nobody ever saw
Speaker 5: this guy. It's just a vision that I had on
Speaker 5: my sixth birthday.
Speaker 1: It's a mystery, hallucinating hallucination.
Speaker 11: Man, yep, who.
Speaker 1: Do you what?
Speaker 11: Do you?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Who do you think they were?
Speaker 5: I don't know, I have no idea. But as I've
Speaker 5: grown older, I've had free prowesses and I've seen the
Speaker 5: same man in my sleep prowessies.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the beginning of a very interesting
Speaker 1: romance novel.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that's kind of hot. That's cute?
Speaker 1: Is so that? I mean, this man do you you know?
Speaker 5: Do you think you might be No, you're right, he's
Speaker 5: kind of old. No, no, no, no, no, you're right.
Speaker 5: He's kind of old. And I at once thought it
Speaker 5: was my dad.
Speaker 10: So never mind.
Speaker 1: But you said it was hot, k. Yeah that.
Speaker 5: When you put it in a romantic aspect. I'm just
Speaker 5: gonna you.
Speaker 1: Know, I'm like, oh my god, ya, but that this
Speaker 1: man that looks like your father.
Speaker 5: That might not be real, but I've seen I've seen
Speaker 5: him in my sleep prownsis. I'm like, I know, this
Speaker 5: is just something I've made up. Like, you're not gonna
Speaker 5: get into my head. There's something that I've lived with.
Speaker 5: My friends don't believe me, but this is something I've seen.
Speaker 1: What do you think he wants?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I wish I knew.
Speaker 6: I wish I knew because he attacks.
Speaker 1: Ah, different times, he said he attacks. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: look at his visits as attacks.
Speaker 11: Yes, I do.
Speaker 5: I feel attacked.
Speaker 12: Hmm.
Speaker 1: So this is you don't have pleasant experience? Have you
Speaker 1: ever had a pleasant experience with this man? But does
Speaker 1: he only bring terror?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, only terror? Like one time during my sleep promises,
Speaker 5: I saw him on top of me. It's like choking me.
Speaker 5: As I stared him, said eyes, this is the scariest thing. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: at first you're like hot, but then it's just scary.
Speaker 5: It's just scary, all right.
Speaker 1: So at first this man that looks like your father
Speaker 1: on top of you choking you was hot and then
Speaker 1: at what point?
Speaker 5: Okay, those are two different instances, do not Those were
Speaker 5: two different instances. First he showed up like my dad,
Speaker 5: just making sense. First he showed up as my dad,
Speaker 5: you know, trustworthy. But then as I grew older, he
Speaker 5: just became scarier and scarier.
Speaker 1: Do you think? Okay, but is he changing or is
Speaker 1: your perception of him changing? Is his appearance that is
Speaker 1: staying the same?
Speaker 5: It's just an older guy's just scary.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I've tried to make peace with him, like I've tried
Speaker 5: to be like, you know, we can be fun, you know,
Speaker 5: maybe I can enjoy this, but I haven't succeeded.
Speaker 1: Does he talk?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 7: Do?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 5: Are you?
Speaker 1: Have you had a conversation with him?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 9: But I've tried.
Speaker 1: What what? What do you what? What? What have you
Speaker 1: asked him? What have you tried to talk to him about?
Speaker 5: I just like call out like hey, hey, you know,
Speaker 5: I'm just like you, and he doesn't. He doesn't reach out.
Speaker 5: I don't ask him questions.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: No what what do you think he wants?
Speaker 10: Though?
Speaker 8: I don't know. I wish I knew.
Speaker 1: Him, ask him what he wants.
Speaker 5: Okay, you're still right, You're still right. Well, what if
Speaker 5: like the house that i'm in, his haunted? Like, what
Speaker 5: if it's just a presence because he doesn't follow.
Speaker 1: Me around, he doesn't follow you? What do you mean
Speaker 1: does it follow you?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 5: I haven't seen him and had slee promises at any
Speaker 5: other house.
Speaker 1: Only at your house? Okay, so it's only when you're
Speaker 1: sleeping in your house?
Speaker 8: Correct?
Speaker 1: So he probably lives the spirit probably lives in your house,
Speaker 1: so I have to move only if you don't. Yo,
Speaker 1: wait all right, because if this was a if was
Speaker 1: like a young adult romantic novel or something like that,
Speaker 1: I don't know how on board you are with this
Speaker 1: theory that we've talked about so far.
Speaker 5: No, I'm on board. I'm not doing anything during quarantine,
Speaker 5: so I'm on board. I could start writing a novel.
Speaker 1: You might have to have sex with the sleep paralysis demon.
Speaker 5: I want to take that's a risk.
Speaker 1: Next time, all right, If you're willing, you're all right.
Speaker 1: So you're willing, you're on board with this, is what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am all right.
Speaker 1: If you're on board with this. I think what you
Speaker 1: should do is, next time you see him, first ask
Speaker 1: him what he wants, okay, and then offer to have
Speaker 1: sex with him and see what he says, because he
Speaker 1: might be too shy to say it, but if you
Speaker 1: initiate it, they might make him feel a little bit
Speaker 1: more comfortable talking to you or more comfortable going there.
Speaker 1: You know, if you initiate it.
Speaker 4: I thought, how do I just like move from bear
Speaker 4: a suedection like that?
Speaker 13: You know, well, you can't, Well, don't force yourself to obviously, Okay,
Speaker 13: do you want.
Speaker 1: Do you want to have sex with the sleeperhouse steaming
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 10: Sorry?
Speaker 7: What do you do?
Speaker 1: You want to have sex with the sleeperhouse steaming?
Speaker 8: I do?
Speaker 1: Then then then I think it's worth pursuing as an option.
Speaker 5: You're right, this is like a point of view that
Speaker 5: I have never seen before. So I'm gonna try it
Speaker 5: because that's right. Everything else when the seam.
Speaker 8: Works, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, let let let us.
Speaker 5: Know how it goes, okay, hopefully hopefully successful because it's
Speaker 5: like turning into a toxic relationships.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean you guys will have to. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it might be a little lot. I mean, it might
Speaker 1: be awkward now, it might it might make it worse. Actually,
Speaker 1: now that I'm thinking about it, why let me But
Speaker 1: what if? But what if you have sex with him
Speaker 1: and then it gets and then it gets like awkward
Speaker 1: now when he when he haunts you and ship.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: So you're running that risk, but it might also be
Speaker 1: your solution.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I think you need to. You need to.
Speaker 1: You're at a point with this where you need to
Speaker 1: take massive action here, and I think that that's a
Speaker 1: good way to do it. And I want you, I
Speaker 1: want you to go try that. I want you to
Speaker 1: report back to us.
Speaker 5: Okay, I will.

Speaker 11: you from point A to point B is safely and
Speaker 11: it's as smoothly as possible.
Speaker 1: Right, But if but wouldn't it? I feel like it
Speaker 1: would be the test of a master salesman. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have no interest in buying a car, and I
Speaker 1: feel like it would be a good test if you
Speaker 1: could convince someone who I mean sure, you know anyone
Speaker 1: could convince someone who wants to buy a thing to
Speaker 1: buy a thing? Is that someone who doesn't want to
Speaker 1: buy a thing at all?

Speaker 12: on his bad ass in his little rollie chair, and
Speaker 12: he just bosses everyone around. He'll he'll come out, He'll
Speaker 12: come out like every hour. I'll go up there, you know,
Speaker 12: I'll visit him on the days and I'm not working,
Speaker 12: you know, bring him, bring him some lunch, you know,
Speaker 12: hang out with him on his on his brakes and

Speaker 12: When he's on his own break. You know, he's out
Speaker 12: there on his break after working his ass off in
Speaker 12: the sun, and Rick the print comes in, you know,

Speaker 12: Can't even can't even visit my boyfriend on his on
Speaker 12: his break.
Speaker 1: No, Rick's No, Rick's definitely a huge cunt. But but luck,
Speaker 1: I mean he's probably he's there for a reason. He's
Speaker 1: probably really good at selling cards.
Speaker 11: No, I haven't seen him sold ship since the time
Speaker 11: I've been there. I got transfer from the other location.
Speaker 11: He hasn't sold jack ship. He just sits in the
Speaker 11: off eat the goddamn subway footlong every goddamn day. Every day,
Speaker 11: I'm talking. He gets the meatball sub too. He's a
Speaker 11: real filthy, dirty scumbag mhm.
Speaker 1: And subs are definitely the food choice of a villain.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, now, but we we're uh, we're actually thinking
Speaker 12: about getting Rick fired because we have a we have
Speaker 12: a little bit of dirt on him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what what uh? What you got?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Well, after hours one day he made me stay late
Speaker 11: and I was cleaning up my office. I actually saw
Speaker 11: him roll into the back parking lot. He came back
Speaker 11: with some thoughts from this and that. I know you're
Speaker 11: probably not too familiar with that street, but it's it's
Speaker 11: a real family street in Houston. It's real, real fun
Speaker 11: at night, get all the uh the excitement that you
Speaker 11: could ask for. We actually, uh he actually caught.
Speaker 12: Him after hours bringing in prostitutes from this and it
Speaker 12: into the office. I swear swear he has videos. He
Speaker 12: has video footage. He recorded it on his phone.
Speaker 11: It's like shit footage.
Speaker 12: But because it like it was at night and like
Speaker 12: a lot of the light's rot. But he was saying
Speaker 12: after work, filling out paperwork and this and that, like
Speaker 12: just tidying up because I don't know Rick, the prick
Speaker 12: was just making him. He just boxed him around whatever, right,
Speaker 12: And uh, I think he thought he left right because
Speaker 12: he was just cleaning his office up after he finished
Speaker 12: like all the paperwork and whatnot. And he sends me
Speaker 12: a video of Rick coming in through the back door
Speaker 12: with like three hookers.
Speaker 11: Just it was an unbelievable an there's no way that
Speaker 11: lot no less. Yeah, but he's probably got him well
Speaker 11: because I was duffed under the desk and the lights
Speaker 11: were already turned off, you know, because I saw the
Speaker 11: prick pull into the office in the back. So I
Speaker 11: was like, Oh, some m's coming, we gotta check who
Speaker 11: this is.
Speaker 7: And what do you know?
Speaker 11: It's loan behold Rick.
Speaker 1: How do you know that they were hookers?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 11: The way that they were dressed, they're real skimpy clothes
Speaker 11: were barely on, and uh, they just look like the
Speaker 11: type of dirty thoughts that you get off the dish
Speaker 11: from that. There were not no quality process issues that
Speaker 11: you pay top dollar for. Believe me.
Speaker 12: Believe me, yeah, there is There's no way that those
Speaker 12: were like his his nieces or some shiit like those
Speaker 12: those were those were one of prostitutes. He wasn't, you know,
Speaker 12: bringing in the kiddos to be like, oh, come check
Speaker 12: out the come check out.
Speaker 3: The office after hours.
Speaker 7: Nah, he was.
Speaker 3: He was going in there to bang three hookers.
Speaker 12: That's right, that's right, cup of confusion, small bick Rick.
Speaker 1: All right, So what's your plan? How are you going
Speaker 1: to use this to your advantage?
Speaker 12: This happened about a week ago, so we've been kind
Speaker 12: of just discussing what we can do.
Speaker 11: I was thinking that I was going to go to
Speaker 11: the district, the district GM, maybe go to corporate, see
Speaker 11: what we can do maybe get him in place, just
Speaker 11: get him out of my location. I'm not really a
Speaker 11: big Fanima, or you're.
Speaker 1: Not trying to, but so so yeah, okay, I want
Speaker 1: to hear the ore.
Speaker 12: Okay, so the ore here is blackmail. Just make a
Speaker 12: rick our pitch, Just make.
Speaker 7: Him our bits like.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't work I don't work there myself.
Speaker 3: I don't work there myself.
Speaker 7: But we can.
Speaker 12: You know, obviously I'll assist him and you know, making
Speaker 12: his his prick boss, you know, his little little whore.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I you know what, I think
Speaker 1: you'd be better off going with the first off because
Speaker 1: the second option you have to, like, what if he
Speaker 1: retaliates in some way? What if the they find out
Speaker 1: that you knew, the higher us find out that you know,
Speaker 1: and then you got it's too much, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: too messy. I think you just get him out of there,
Speaker 1: get him out, you know, never deal with whatever again.
Speaker 1: You don't even want to be around this guy. You mean,
Speaker 1: if he's your.
Speaker 11: Bitch, exactly, what do you what do you do with trash?
Speaker 11: Mister gek? You take it out, You don't just push
Speaker 11: it to the side and let the next guy, deal
Speaker 11: with this.

Speaker 8: Good? Something about laying on the floor feels very good.
Speaker 1: Do you prefer the floor to you know, the bed?
Speaker 8: Not always, but sometimes it's just like a nice reset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: I have had moments where like, you know, when you
Speaker 1: can't sleep and you're like, well fuck it, why as
Speaker 1: well go on to go to the floor?
Speaker 7: Yep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, when's they can ask you a question?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Man, have you ever had a vision?
Speaker 8: Dude? That's why I called.
Speaker 1: Hit me Wednesday.
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, stay with me.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I never left.
Speaker 8: I I've always had this theory that I'm a witch. Okay,
Speaker 8: So a couple of times I've thought about people and
Speaker 8: then that day I learn that they're dead. Should I continue?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 8: Okay? So like one time there was this there was
Speaker 8: this young girl on vine. Her name was Emma, not Emma,
Speaker 8: I think Emma Greer. She went by Greer mostly. She
Speaker 8: had cancer. I followed her for a long time. Knew
Speaker 8: she had cancer, you know, but she was doing okay.
Speaker 8: Kind of kind of fell off of her for a minute,
Speaker 8: and then one day I just randomly thought about her,
Speaker 8: and I like went to her Instagram and she had
Speaker 8: died that same day.
Speaker 1: Who's the other one?
Speaker 8: I was like in class just talking to my friends
Speaker 8: about my grandpa because he was really weird. I was
Speaker 8: just telling him lots of stories about him. One time
Speaker 8: he ran into a steak and shake with his car,
Speaker 8: and I like, I like telling that story because that's funny. Shit.
Speaker 8: We were just talking about him whatever whatever, And then
Speaker 8: I go home in that day, my dad is like,
Speaker 8: got some bad news. Grandpa died and like he wasn't
Speaker 8: that big of a part of my life, Like I
Speaker 8: didn't really talk about him normally, but that day I
Speaker 8: spent an entire class period talking about my grandpa.
Speaker 10: And then same day, no, non, he died.
Speaker 1: And so because of these you think you're a witch
Speaker 1: or that you might be a witch.
Speaker 8: Well, okay, this is where this is where it's going
Speaker 8: to fall off, and everyone's gonna think I'm.
Speaker 1: Was that by insane?
Speaker 8: Oh sorry, this is where it's gonna fall off, and
Speaker 8: everyone's gonna think that it's crazy. But I have had
Speaker 8: two boyfriends who I've gotten messy breakups with, and both
Speaker 8: of them, within like a week after us breaking up,
Speaker 8: have wrecked their cars.
Speaker 1: So you're making me like scared to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I'm scared, Like what now I feel like something's going
Speaker 1: to happen to me.
Speaker 8: No, don't worry, I won't manifest it. I think I
Speaker 8: think that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Well hold on now, Well now I'm a little Now
Speaker 1: I'm a little freaked out, because what do you mean
Speaker 1: you won't ma, does that.
Speaker 8: Mean no, no, no, no Nocause you're.
Speaker 1: Saying you won't manifest, it implies that you have some
Speaker 1: control over this.
Speaker 8: No, that's that's my fear. That's my fear is I
Speaker 8: just think of these things that might just happen. But
Speaker 8: so then you don't have controls.
Speaker 1: You can't promise me anything.
Speaker 8: So I also have a really bad OCD. So if
Speaker 8: I just I've convinced myself, if I just do my
Speaker 8: OCD stuff, then you won't die. So tonight I'll just
Speaker 8: do my OCD stuff and you're all good.
Speaker 1: But my back is going to be ripped in half tomorrow,
Speaker 1: I could tell.
Speaker 8: No, no, all right, gotcha, it's all good energy. I really,
Speaker 8: me and the universe really vibe now more than I
Speaker 8: think we used to. Uh, I think you're okay, But
Speaker 8: do you think I'm a witch or or I don't know,
Speaker 8: like I don't know, maybe a god?
Speaker 1: Do you? Well? I mean, okay, say you're a god. Right,
Speaker 1: Yeah you said okay, so you but you have this
Speaker 1: thing I could tell just now. Being a god does
Speaker 1: not excite you. No, you seem you'd see it seems
Speaker 1: like a like a like a chore to you to
Speaker 1: be a god.
Speaker 8: Yeah it sounds exhausting, it does.
Speaker 1: It sounds so exhausting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I can being human is a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm very scared of that.
Speaker 8: You know, I think it's I mean, I think it's are.
Speaker 1: Going to get a pails on the sword.
Speaker 8: I think about people all the time, right, yeah, so, and.
Speaker 1: This is the person I'm Here's if you think about
Speaker 1: people all the time and then they don't die, you
Speaker 1: have thought about more people that have then not died
Speaker 1: than you have thought about people that.
Speaker 8: Have died, right, So it could all be coincidence. But
Speaker 8: like you have.
Speaker 1: Stronger for it all being coincidences, then you then you
Speaker 1: have not.
Speaker 8: I don't. It's obviously a theory that's off the rails.
Speaker 8: So I'd like to rate it in with some logic.
Speaker 1: Okay, hit me with the logic.
Speaker 8: Well, I guess the logic would be that you know,
Speaker 8: it is only just probably coincidence, and that we're actually
Speaker 8: very significant in a very small blip in the world,
Speaker 8: and the universe is not taking my thoughts and putting
Speaker 8: them into actions so much as to you know, remove
Speaker 8: someone from their human shell and kill them and release
Speaker 8: their soul. It's not doing that for me.
Speaker 1: So do you have any logical reasoning as to why
Speaker 1: you might in favor of you being a witch slash god.
Speaker 8: Witch slash god. I feel like are far apart. I
Speaker 8: don't think I'm definitely not a god. That was more
Speaker 8: of a joke because that's the opposite of every way
Speaker 8: see myself.
Speaker 1: But right, but you will have to see yourself. But
Speaker 1: I think whether or not you whether or not you
Speaker 1: see yourself as a god, does in affect whether or
Speaker 1: not you are a god.
Speaker 8: Well don't you think gods know they're gods? Isn't that
Speaker 8: part of being godly? Being on nippet or whatever?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think God spends a lot
Speaker 1: of time like jerking himself off about the fact that
Speaker 1: he's God or do you think he's like because I mean,
Speaker 1: like we said, you know, it's hard, he might he
Speaker 1: might hate it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean the Christian God, even God rested
Speaker 8: right on the seventh day. But then you have like
Speaker 8: Greek gods, and they love themselves, they knew, they knew
Speaker 8: what they were compared to mortals.
Speaker 1: So if you were a god, so okay, so we've
Speaker 1: established if you are a god, you're not one of
Speaker 1: those shitty little pos or Greek gods. You're the real deal,
Speaker 1: because the shitty poser gods all love themselves, but real
Speaker 1: god no hates his job.
Speaker 8: No. I think Greek gods are cool as hell, but
Speaker 8: not one's better or worse. But there seems to be
Speaker 8: a difference. But they all seem to know the power
Speaker 8: they wield.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, okay, the witch though, do you have
Speaker 1: any logical reasoning as to why you might be a witch?
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sort of into that side of spirituality,
Speaker 8: but I've never like cast it a spell or anything
Speaker 8: like that.
Speaker 1: Do you have anything besides these two people dying that
Speaker 1: might lead you to believe you you're a witch?
Speaker 8: Well, like I said, my two boyfriends I thought very
Speaker 8: angrily about, and then bad things happened to them. And
Speaker 8: it was only the boyfriends that I had like messy
Speaker 8: breakups with, not like the nice ones.
Speaker 1: Anything else.
Speaker 8: No. I mean I could go off into more like
Speaker 8: like actual wacky shit, but I do go to real therapy,
Speaker 8: and I know that that's actually wacky shit. If I
Speaker 8: went off on that.
Speaker 1: Do you want I know you don't want to be
Speaker 1: a god. Do you want to be a witch?
Speaker 8: I don't know. I think it'd be kind of cool,
Speaker 8: And witches aren't necessarily they're like not normally bad people, right,
Speaker 8: Like I hear that they're like actual witches, look down upon,
Speaker 8: like casting negative spells and.
Speaker 1: Watch of the West. And there's the Witch of the
Speaker 1: who's like the good witch. So you could be like
Speaker 1: the Witch of the East.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I don't want to be blonde in a
Speaker 8: big dress in a bubble.
Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to be exactly her. You don't
Speaker 1: have to be blonde to be good.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, like, I call myself Wednesday.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's not your name.
Speaker 8: It's my middle name. But I don't use my first
Speaker 8: name on the internet for some reason. But dope, dope privacy.
Speaker 1: So it's all about baby, and my real first name
Speaker 1: is Lyle.
Speaker 8: Well, you just expose yourself there.
Speaker 1: My middle name is. The thing that I'm doing right
Speaker 1: now is not funny. Can you continue with what you
Speaker 1: were saying?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean you kind of got me up track
Speaker 8: with the with the bad jokes.
Speaker 1: I know, I did. I fucked this up? Should we?
Speaker 1: I think we kind of do? I think we can rap?
Speaker 8: All right, We're good.
Speaker 1: We're good here, Wednesday. You know what, I'm pretty I'm
Speaker 1: confident that I'm not gonna die.
Speaker 8: I'm confident.
Speaker 1: Do you you know, look, if you're about to flip
Speaker 1: a light switch on and off twelve times, and open
Speaker 1: and close a folding chair four times, and stop your
Speaker 1: feet and clap your hands, you know you don't have
Speaker 1: to do that stuff for me. I'll I'll be fine
Speaker 1: either way. But I I appreciate the sentiment.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, that was mostly a joke. I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 8: doing better on that stuff. But I would have done.
Speaker 8: I would have done. I would have done a little
Speaker 8: of CD tech for you, just a little one, all right.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe fill a fill a bathtub with water and
Speaker 1: then train it immediately after.
Speaker 7: Could you do that?
Speaker 8: Uh, that's a lot of work. I was just gonna go,
Speaker 8: like go like lock the front door again.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fine too.
Speaker 8: Not the train not worth it. But you know I
Speaker 8: didn't want to effort, so that all right? All right, gick, this.
Speaker 1: Is great absolutely, same time next week, I'll be there.
Speaker 8: I'll be there. I'll let you know. Since I started
Speaker 8: watching you, I've watched you consistently. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I'm
Speaker 8: here ten pm.
Speaker 1: Happy, I'll feel your omnipotent godly presence.
Speaker 8: Yes, thank you, all right, Greg, love you.
Speaker 1: Love you too. Good night, Wednesday.
Speaker 10: Bye all from Jake.
Speaker 8: Two.
Speaker 1: Jake, Hi, what's what What's what's what's what's Jake?
Speaker 10: And Jake, Well, I'm having some intimacy issues. I was
Speaker 10: hoping we could walk through that tonight.
Speaker 1: All right, Where where do we begin?
Speaker 7: Jake?
Speaker 10: Well, Uh, to be honest, it's my cat. He's been
Speaker 10: giving me the stink guy for a few days now.
Speaker 10: It gets real friendly with my roommates, but when it
Speaker 10: comes to me, he just has no love.
Speaker 1: You know, So your cat doesn't like you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 1: Wells as to what I'm most okay, I'm curious mostly
Speaker 1: about what about what it is? What is it about
Speaker 1: the situation that is causing you to file it under
Speaker 1: intimacy issues?
Speaker 10: Okay, So when we're alone, he doesn't have a problem,
Speaker 10: you know, coming up, cuddle in.
Speaker 11: Give him some pets, you know, let him know I
Speaker 11: love him.
Speaker 10: But when my roommates are home, he's cold and distant
Speaker 10: and he doesn't show me love. It acts like I'm
Speaker 10: not there. And I just want to know what I
Speaker 10: can do to reach him and get him to be
Speaker 10: comfortable with intimacy around my roommates.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is and we I mean, look
Speaker 1: we have. Like, we've all had friends like that, right,
Speaker 1: who act different when other people are around, you know, Right,
Speaker 1: But and if you if this was your friend, I
Speaker 1: would say that you should talk to them. But a cat,
Speaker 1: Now we're getting into super like this is something I
Speaker 1: am even less qualified to do, which is train animals.
Speaker 10: You are an animal though, M right.
Speaker 1: All right with your cat? Yeah, but your cat is
Speaker 1: your cat just probably likes other people better than he
Speaker 1: likes you. Well, what's your relationship like with your cat?
Speaker 1: Are you're kind to your cat?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 10: I mean I feed him as much as I can,
Speaker 10: I change his litter box, right, you know, we have
Speaker 10: a pretty standard human cat relationship.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 10: It's just kind of sad that he can't show that
Speaker 10: to my roommates.
Speaker 1: You know, what I think is the it might be
Speaker 1: happening here is you know, as you've said, you've had
Speaker 1: a fairly standard human cat relationship, right, Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: maybe maybe your cat loves you, right, But when your
Speaker 1: friends come over, he's just so excited. He's excited to
Speaker 1: be in the presence of someone new for a change.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're the only person he ever interacts with,
Speaker 1: so when your friends are over, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: he spends all day. I mean, okay, this could just
Speaker 1: be it. I was going to do a whole thing,
Speaker 1: but this could just be it. He spends all day
Speaker 1: with you, all day, all the time. He lives in
Speaker 1: your house. You guys are roommates. He is with you
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. So look, when your friends come
Speaker 1: over for an hour, two hours, three hour, however long,
Speaker 1: then yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna be like, oh cool,
Speaker 1: finally new people to talk to, and he's not going
Speaker 1: to care about you for the for that period of time.
Speaker 1: That makes sense to.
Speaker 10: Me, right, You can really only get comfortable with people
Speaker 10: that he is around often, Like my girlfriend, they get
Speaker 10: along famously, and they're they're very intimate. Right in front
Speaker 10: of me. I think maybe he's trying to make me jealous.
Speaker 1: You think he's going to be jealous.
Speaker 7: You think, yeah, so.
Speaker 10: That I pay even more attention to him when we're alone.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you want to win him back,
Speaker 1: you got to find a way to spice it up
Speaker 1: a little bit, right, I mean you said that, I mean,
Speaker 1: how can you give him more than the standard human
Speaker 1: cat relationship.
Speaker 10: This is what I just don't know. That's why I
Speaker 10: was coming to you as an animal. Maybe you have
Speaker 10: a bit more of a better perspective on this issue.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you what do you think? What do
Speaker 1: you think your cat likes about? About your friends?
Speaker 10: I guess they smell better. Do I smell like ship?
Speaker 1: You might smell like ship? You know what you I mean?
Speaker 1: Why don't you do this? Why don't you get like
Speaker 1: a salmon flavored perfume, have it custom made? Douse yourself
Speaker 1: in some salmon musk?
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, I could try that. He's kind of a
Speaker 10: picky easier though. He only likes his his now mix.
Speaker 10: Do you want you anything else? He doesn't even like apple,
Speaker 10: He likes apple sauce.
Speaker 1: People make some money off of this call the now
Speaker 1: mixed people. Tell them your story. See if they'll see
Speaker 1: if they'll take a little uh oh god, there's a
Speaker 1: freaking there's a freaking word for this. Uh a little
Speaker 1: tincture of like.
Speaker 10: What is it?
Speaker 12: What is it?
Speaker 1: Freaking call? It's like extract. Yes, get some meal mixed extract,
Speaker 1: infuse it with a perfume of some kind. You can
Speaker 1: sell that as well. Now and so now you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a cat that that is you know, obsessed with
Speaker 1: you and also, you know, a million dollar business. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think you could make this work.
Speaker 10: All right, Yeah, I'll I'll have to give them a call,
Speaker 10: give them a call if yeah, see if they can
Speaker 10: put something up for me, because man, I really need it.
Speaker 10: I love him so much.
Speaker 1: I can tell, and I can tell that you're willing
Speaker 1: to fight for him.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you so much, Jake.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Jake. I hope everything gets better for you, and
Speaker 1: I hope that you and your cat are able to
Speaker 1: work out your issues, and I wish you the best
Speaker 1: of luck moving forward with the perfume idea.
Speaker 11: Awesome. Yeah, thank you so much, absolutely, Jake.
Speaker 1: Take care, have a good night you too. He wasn't
Speaker 1: talking about trying to fuck his cat, was he. I
Speaker 1: don't think he was.

Speaker 7: need someone.
Speaker 1: Yes, When you when every when you're typing into your
Speaker 1: phone and you're calling over and over again, what and
Speaker 1: every time and you get rejected? I mean, what keeps
Speaker 1: you going? What keeps you call? What is your motivation?
Speaker 7: Honestly just my love for the get go? And I
Speaker 7: need someone to talk to.
Speaker 1: Do you have do you have a lot of people?
Speaker 1: Do you have any Do you have people in your
Speaker 1: life that you can talk to or are you lone?
Speaker 7: Uh? I have some people, but I feel like a
Speaker 7: gecko can give me a different outlook on things. You know?
Speaker 11: M hmm.
Speaker 1: What are some things you know going on with you
Speaker 1: that you feel like you know you could use another
Speaker 1: perspective on.
Speaker 7: I'm going to be honest with you. There's a lot
Speaker 7: of things that I could work on.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 7: Uh, I got put on the spot.
Speaker 1: Damn, So you did just try?
Speaker 7: I need some weight, all right, I need to I
Speaker 7: could work on my myself and I need to know
Speaker 7: the steps I should take.
Speaker 1: To work on yourself.
Speaker 7: Yes, and losing weight, and I don't know, just becoming
Speaker 7: a better person because obviously you know you've achieved you've
Speaker 7: achieved it.
Speaker 1: What makes you say I have achieved it? Because I'm
Speaker 1: also you know, could lose some weight and also don't
Speaker 1: know No, hold on real quick, I mean, what how
Speaker 1: do you do? How do you even define all these things?
Speaker 1: I feel like you got like, what do you what
Speaker 1: does it mean to you to be a better person?
Speaker 7: Just being nicer and talking to more people and letting
Speaker 7: them in.
Speaker 1: Want I talk to more people?
Speaker 7: Yeah, and help them?
Speaker 1: Are you in school right now?
Speaker 7: I am not graduated with what a high school diploma? Nice?
Speaker 1: You try volunteering, Uh, I have, But.
Speaker 7: Anytime I have, they've just disrespected me. Like I went
Speaker 7: to you, I went to a food bank and they
Speaker 7: just spit on me.
Speaker 1: They spit on you.
Speaker 7: Yes, they don't like me. They don't want me to
Speaker 7: give them food.
Speaker 1: You went to a food bank to help homeless people
Speaker 1: when they spit on you.
Speaker 7: Yes, I'm not in the nice part of town. People
Speaker 7: out here just wild.
Speaker 1: Right, But I mean that's part of it, right that
Speaker 1: you know what to make you? You know what I
Speaker 1: would make you viewing that's like a test for you,
Speaker 1: I think, because it would be even because I mean,
Speaker 1: it's one thing to be nice to people who are
Speaker 1: being nice to you, But I think the ultimate test
Speaker 1: is how nice can you be to someone who's being
Speaker 1: mean to you, to someone who doesn't like you, is
Speaker 1: spitting on you, who hates you. How nice can you
Speaker 1: be in that person?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's that's where it's being nice, because it's
Speaker 1: fuckinga It's easy to be nice to people who are nice.
Speaker 1: Anyone can do that. But it's that's where I think
Speaker 1: the real I mean, that's what I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: better at myself, you know, That's what all I like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, even like when people troll me
Speaker 1: and shit, I'm like, how you know, that's the test,
Speaker 1: That's that's what beg that's the work.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Anyone could be nice to people whore nice to them,
Speaker 1: But can you be nice to homeless people spitting on
Speaker 1: you that hate you and don't want you to talk
Speaker 1: to them?
Speaker 7: Well, I can tell you that I still serve them
Speaker 7: food with a smile on my face, and I tried
Speaker 7: my best to get through it.
Speaker 1: But you don't. But you don't want to go back.
Speaker 1: You don't want to do it again.
Speaker 7: No, I'm pretty sure I got sick from that, so
Speaker 7: I don't think I should go back.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe maybe the spinning is a bit far, but
Speaker 1: especially now. Yeah, okay, how else? Well, the food bank's
Speaker 1: not the only place you can go. You could do
Speaker 1: you would be nice to other places.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess I could just do more community service
Speaker 7: and help people. But the main problem is because people
Speaker 7: don't seem to want me to help them?
Speaker 1: What makes you say that people don't want.
Speaker 7: You to help them? They tell me they don't like me.
Speaker 1: Can I get like an example, like when has this happened?
Speaker 7: All right? So I did the bell ringing for the
Speaker 7: Red Cross. I think I had to do it for school,
Speaker 7: and the dude just punched me.
Speaker 1: You were doing Red Cross for school?
Speaker 7: Like you know the bell ringers where you drop change
Speaker 7: in the the thing outside of stores.
Speaker 1: No, I shouldn't hear. I'm not sure we're talking.
Speaker 7: Oh well, damn uh.
Speaker 1: And you can describe it to me.
Speaker 7: So Salvation Army, Salvation Army. Sorry, wrong, wrong thing, wrong thing?
Speaker 7: My bad?
Speaker 1: Oh, Salvation Army. Okay, So you were doing the Salvation Army?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, I asked him. I was like, hey, do
Speaker 7: you want to donate money to the less fortunate? And
Speaker 7: maybe he just rocking me. One.
Speaker 1: That's fucking crazy, right, Like.
Speaker 7: I'm just over here trying to help people and I
Speaker 7: just get a fucking right hook.
Speaker 1: Did Was there anything between that? Was there escalation? Was
Speaker 1: there a situation or just out of nowhere he just
Speaker 1: punches you? Was that was there any what? Did anything
Speaker 1: happen in the time span between you?
Speaker 7: Ask him?
Speaker 1: If you want to donated him punching you.
Speaker 7: I know. I was like, do you have any spare change?
Speaker 7: And he said get out of here and rocked me.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should give up though, No I won't.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I mean I understand why you're
Speaker 1: being the teared. And again I've said this a thousand times,
Speaker 1: but I'm not qualified to give advice. And this is
Speaker 1: not real therapy, and this is not anything but my
Speaker 1: personal belief, which is different from how I act. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very different from you know, what I believe in what
Speaker 1: I do, very different things. However, my personal belief you know,
Speaker 1: I think that the and this is what I think of,
Speaker 1: this is what this is the goal I am for
Speaker 1: for myself. And again I'm not a perfect person, but
Speaker 1: the goal I look at in myself and like, what
Speaker 1: does it mean to me to be a good person
Speaker 1: is if people are being assholes to you, like somebody
Speaker 1: fucking punched you in the faith, Like can you still,
Speaker 1: even when you've been fucking broken, go out there and
Speaker 1: be nice to people? To make now I like, look
Speaker 1: at look at it like this man, I mean you
Speaker 1: know that this guy is walking around being, you know,
Speaker 1: punching people. He's a negative force in the world. Now
Speaker 1: you you should. It's like your duty even now to
Speaker 1: be work extra hard at being nice to people to
Speaker 1: make up for him. You know, you you you have
Speaker 1: been served with shittiness and negativity and now you can
Speaker 1: go out. I mean, look the way I look at us,
Speaker 1: like you can either be upset or you could be
Speaker 1: motivated to put more good out into the world to
Speaker 1: balance it out. That's just what I think. It's not
Speaker 1: a real thing.
Speaker 7: But no, I feel you got to keep the positivity
Speaker 7: to outweigh the negativity totally.
Speaker 1: I think he don't you give up, man, I think
Speaker 1: I think you you. Yeah, you gotta go even harder.
Speaker 1: You gotta go double make up for this guy because
Speaker 1: you don't want anyone to because you've you've experienced negativity
Speaker 1: in the form of a right hook to the draw,
Speaker 1: and you don't want anyone else to feel that way.
Speaker 1: So you got to go out and do the opposite
Speaker 1: to people. What's the opposite of punching someone in the face? Kissing?
Speaker 1: But you don't want to do that.
Speaker 7: I don't want to hug random people. You don't take
Speaker 7: that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: You probably don't want to hug you.
Speaker 7: Probably right, it's probably gonna get me punched more.
Speaker 1: Mhm, But keep going, dog. I believe in you, Austin.
Speaker 1: I believe in you, Austin.
Speaker 7: Thank you, get.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time absolutely.
Speaker 7: I love you too. You have a good one.
Speaker 1: Man, you too, Man. Good nights.
Speaker 7: Come from Josh.
Speaker 1: Josh, what are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to work.
Speaker 1: What do you work?
Speaker 3: I'm cook?
Speaker 1: You're a cook. Yeah, what is the best thing that
Speaker 1: you cook?
Speaker 3: Well, tonight I made a wild foraged mushroom soup with
Speaker 3: like a stage brown butter on it.
Speaker 2: It was really good.
Speaker 1: Do you think you would do well surviving in the wild.
Speaker 7: I think so.
Speaker 1: I think so because you mentioned mushrooms and I thought, well,
Speaker 1: if this guy can cook with mushrooms, then he could
Speaker 1: probably find them out into the wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, I have forging, like
Speaker 3: a big hobby of mine, has been for like a
Speaker 3: few years, and I just found really fascinating and just cool,
Speaker 3: like go out and walk through the woods and find
Speaker 3: some cool mushrooms or different foods you can eat. I
Speaker 3: don't know, I think it's.
Speaker 1: Foraging. I have never spoken to a forager before. Yeah, interesting,
Speaker 1: you you got okay this this mushroom soup?
Speaker 11: Uh huh?
Speaker 1: Did you did you gather all the elements or did
Speaker 1: you buy? Are you? You're like a mother? You say,
Speaker 1: I'm going grocery shopping and then you walk into the woods.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I used stuff from the kitchen too,
Speaker 3: But no, we we had planned to do this like
Speaker 3: this tasting menu for like some of our regulars, and
Speaker 3: so you know, they put me in charge of the soup.
Speaker 3: And so I just said, yesterday, it was an awesome day.
Speaker 3: I went out and I found this awesome patch of
Speaker 3: hand of the woods or my atackie. So I brought
Speaker 3: that in. I roasted it off, and I made a
Speaker 3: delicious soup.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Very impressed by this. I feel I feel
Speaker 1: done buying chicken tenders at the at the grocery while
Speaker 1: you're out here cooking soups out of mushrooms that you
Speaker 1: find in the woods.
Speaker 3: Well ship, dude, I mean I et fucking chicken tenders too.
Speaker 7: You know, like like.
Speaker 3: Half the time I'm too late. Like I can cook,
Speaker 3: I can cook a badass meal anytime, but like nine
Speaker 3: times ten.
Speaker 11: No, no, no can I ask you a question, Josh,
Speaker 11: what man, have you ever had a vision?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: All right, So I used to I used to be
Speaker 3: very religious. So I've had a lot of really strange experiences.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not as religious as a like. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't even consider myself religious anymore. But I've had a
Speaker 3: lot of really strange experiences. And I don't know, I
Speaker 3: don't know what to think about.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you said you've had a lot of strange
Speaker 1: religious experiences.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I've had tons of dreams. I
Speaker 3: used to lucid dream a lot that was really cool.
Speaker 1: Can we hear you know any any sort of notable
Speaker 1: ones or the or maybe the scariest.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So I remember a caller a few
Speaker 3: times ago. I was talking about sleep brouss. So when
Speaker 3: I was younger, I used to have sleep outsis really bad.
Speaker 3: And this is before my whole you know, religious but
Speaker 3: I would I would get it probably once a week.
Speaker 3: I would have crazy like moments where I would just
Speaker 3: be like I couldn't move. I'd see this crazy figure
Speaker 3: in this corner of the room, just like staring at me.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 7: It was weird.
Speaker 3: And one day I fell asleep in this work truck.
Speaker 3: I was coming back from work, and I was in
Speaker 3: this parking lot, and I kind of like learned this
Speaker 3: weird thing where like if I could jerk my body,
Speaker 3: I could somehow like just like flip myself out of
Speaker 3: the sleep paralysis. Like it just like tricked my brain
Speaker 3: out of it. And so while I'm in this experience,
Speaker 3: I opened the door to the van and threw myself
Speaker 3: into the parking lot, and all of a sudden, there
Speaker 3: was a woman there who like I couldn't see her face,
Speaker 3: it was just like light, and she reached down and
Speaker 3: grabbed my hand, and when she did, I woke up
Speaker 3: in the van. And I don't know, it was weird.
Speaker 3: It was fucking weird.
Speaker 1: You woke up in the van in the dream.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like out of the dream. Like I never actually
Speaker 3: opened the door to the van, and I never actually
Speaker 3: threw myself into the parking lot. This is just like
Speaker 3: part of this whole dream.
Speaker 7: I don't know it was.
Speaker 3: It was fucking weird, dude.
Speaker 1: So you heard the caller who had the sleep paralysis demon?
Speaker 3: I did? I did?
Speaker 7: I did.
Speaker 1: Now you having your own experience with with sleep paralysis,
Speaker 1: I mean what would you have recommended her to do
Speaker 1: to combat her demons? Because you tend to have found
Speaker 1: this this jerking uh strategy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like I found personally for me because
Speaker 3: I haven't had in years. Actually after this weird experience,
Speaker 3: I like pretty much never had it since then. This
Speaker 3: was probably almost ten years. So like I learned just
Speaker 3: like to not fight it for one, because like the
Speaker 3: more you try to fight it, because like when you're
Speaker 3: in this like state where you're just like you know,
Speaker 3: you can't move, your eyes are open, you're like halfway
Speaker 3: in this dream state, it's like your brain is trying
Speaker 3: to make sense of the fact that you're still trying
Speaker 3: to dream, but like you're seeing the things around you.
Speaker 3: And so like by like just not fighting it and
Speaker 3: then like just trying to like sit up or like
Speaker 3: roll over.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: For some reason, that's what worked for me.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But Okay, so you were telling me that, I mean,
Speaker 1: have you had dreams that were like religiously related because
Speaker 1: you started off by making making a thing about the
Speaker 1: fact that you know you were religious.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, so like I guess not even.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it have to be a dream? Could just be
Speaker 1: any kind of like experience.
Speaker 3: So like I used to practice a lot of like
Speaker 3: really uh intense like prayer, contemplation, uh, meditation, whatever you
Speaker 3: want to call it. And so in those experiences, I've
Speaker 3: had experiences where I've like blown out of my body
Speaker 3: and ah seeing what I assumed to be. Like like
Speaker 3: one time, I had this experience where there was this
Speaker 3: blinding light that just like enveloped my whole body and
Speaker 3: I just felt like just pure love and energy and
Speaker 3: joy just like kind of wash over over me. And
Speaker 3: you know, I don't, like I can't really like like
Speaker 3: explain what all this shit was, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 3: I like I guess somewhere inside of me, like I
Speaker 3: think that there is some sort of God, but I
Speaker 3: don't really know what what that is, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying Like that I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it's hard. I you know, I don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of I never had a lot of
Speaker 1: sort of spiritual faith or even cared that much to
Speaker 1: think about those kind of things and consider them. But
Speaker 1: but are you, I mean, are you still connected with that?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 3: Not really not as much as I used to be.
Speaker 3: You know, I went through I went through a lot
Speaker 3: of stuff in the last few years, and it's you know,
Speaker 3: it's made me the person I am today. And I
Speaker 3: think that, you know, hindsight, a lot of it was good.
Speaker 3: You know, it was hard, and it pushed me away
Speaker 3: from the community that I was involved with and kind
Speaker 3: of more into my own space of like trying to
Speaker 3: figure stuff out for myself makes sense of my experience,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Right, I feel like and not to like, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I, you know, did the whole Hebrew School ship,
Speaker 1: but you know, I saw I you know. But but
Speaker 1: in a sense, I do feel like freeing yourself from
Speaker 1: that does give you a opportunity to, you know, dive
Speaker 1: into your own life and you know, figure out what
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, bro, for sure. I mean, like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, it's just it's it's been a good I think.
Speaker 1: Well, man, would you say your name was Josh? Josh? Josh?
Speaker 1: You know everyone in the chat wants to date you.
Speaker 3: Well ship, dude, I'm single.
Speaker 1: Hit me up, go back in there and get him Josh. Hi,

Speaker 1: like I'm recording this outro and I forgot what call
Speaker 1: I put at the very end, and I hope it
Speaker 1: wasn't a serious one. And I just kind of stepped
Speaker 1: on it just now by sort of inappropriately yelling jiz boners.
