WEBVTT - “NITROUS OXIDE ALTERED MY PSYCHE”

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Hey, man, what's your name?

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I prefer you call me the Buddha or.

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Buddha Buddha, the famous guy from that religion. What's going on?

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've been doing uh, quite a bit of nicrosocifide

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the last few months, and you know, I thought, I thought,

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I should, you know, stop and you know, for because

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>it's really not that great for you or whatever. But

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's expensive as well. But you know, and I

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 2>was kind of scared because I was having these weird

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>illucinations and stuff, and I, uh, but I just kept

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>doing it because it feels really good.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 3>And then.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I I just like kept pushing myself that limit where

0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I was having these complete dysphoric hallucinations, and I sort

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>of realized that, you know, there was like a deeper

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>meaning to it and that I was basically when I

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 2>was doing that, I was like essentially like destroying my ego.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I wasn't even a part of my own reality

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>and my own body.

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh that's now nitros. That's like the balloon ship, right.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a gas. Yeah, you fill up balloons with it.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>What kinds of things were you hallucinating?

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>All sorts of things. I was like shifting into other

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 2>entities and being like godlike figures and demonic figures, and

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>seeing like the speed of time and crease and decrease

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and drink and very small sizes and grow very large

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>and become like part of the universe, and she starts

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>being born all sart the crazy. So anyways, I was

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>seeing all this stuff, and I was really afraid of

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>it at first, and then you know, I kind of

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>realized what I was seeing was, you know, that my

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>ego was basically like leaving my body temporarily, and I

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I feel like it's like almost like changing

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>my life because I've had like all these perspective shifts

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and like, you know, I call myself Buddha because that's

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 2>what people of that religion or that lifestyle they that's

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>what they believe, that that we're not just our body,

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>were a part of everything essentially. And I've been doing

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>all these things I never thought I could do, Like

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>started working out, started painting, I built a bow out

0:02:54.320 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>of a stick in the woods. I I I'm learning Spanish,

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of crazy shit.

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>These are all things you're doing because you became addicted

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to the nitrosoxide.

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Well not really, because of the addiction to the nitrosox side,

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>but because of the visions I had from it.

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, what was it about the visions that you

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>had that caused you to do all these productive things?

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, basically I never thought that my mind was capable

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>of producing those kinds of things, you know, Like the

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>things I saw were incredible, Like, I never I never

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>thought it was possible from my mind to like imagine

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>those things basically, So I sort of realized that, you know,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>my potential is really like limitless.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>So have you stopped doing nitrosoxide or are you still

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>doing it a lot? Hmmm?

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say a lot. I do it maybe once week.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like, do you feel like you have

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it under control?

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>M I mean it's a matter of perspective, I guess,

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, like some people think it's not really under

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>control if you're.

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Doing it at all, Right, Yeah, I think so. I

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think that that's the way you could look at it.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to stop doing nitrous oxide?

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I just I would like to try to

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>find a way to reach that level of enlightenment without it.

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've always really felt like, you know, I'm

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna probably get some heat for this, but whatever, I

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>always have felt like, you, really, you don't need to

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>go to Peru and do ayahuasca or take a shit

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ton of mushrooms or an acid or do a bunch

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of nrous oxide to like have epiphanies that help you

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>improve your life. I don't think that that's necessary. It's

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's unfortunate, right, Like I really, the few times

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I've done mushrooms, I really want, like I wanted so

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>badly for there to be a thing I could eat

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>that would improve my life. And it's just not true.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that actually improves my life is like

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>fucking doing shit, you know what I mean? Yeah, And

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess I guess that like nitrous oxide and acid

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>and I watch whatever these things. I guess these things

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>can be like catalysts that inspire you to do shit

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 1>to change your life. But at the end of the day,

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't actually do anything for you. It's the actual

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>things that you're doing, the learning Spanish, the fucking all

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 1>the other thing things you said that are actually improving

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>your life. And then those things have nothing to do

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>with the nitrous oxide. They're just you making decisions to

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>make your life better.

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, But I feel like when I shattered my ego

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>like that, it's easier to make decisions like that.

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>So if your ego is shattered already, why do you feel.

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Like it's only shattered in those moments? And then, well,

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>if I can literally see see my perspective of reality

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>shifting back into focus, what.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean by it's only shattered in those moments?

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean those visions only last like maybe five

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:48.799
<v Speaker 2>seconds at most.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't sound particularly helpful.

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:55.679
<v Speaker 4>Mmmm.

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it's hard to explain. Really, you know,

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it's I feel like the visions are kind of like

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>are shattering in a way because they removed my entire consciousness.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, have you ever spoken to a real therapist

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>about any of this?

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm trying to I basically, I I you know,

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to get one, but I called a

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of months ago and they said they would reach

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>back to me when one was available, and I still haven't.

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, man, I think it's great that you're

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>doing things to improve your life, and I, for whatever

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it's worth, I really don't think that you need to.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, the nitrous oxide was necessarily a part of it.

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like I'm trying to think of crap. I can't

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>think of an example. But there's like all these cartoons

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that I can think of, where like, you know, someone

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>gets like a magical power and it inspires them to

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>like go save the day. You don't I'm fucking talking about.

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>But then but then at the end of it's revealed

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that they actually never had any magical power. It was

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>all just a placebo, and it was actually them themselves

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>who saved the day all of their own volition. You know,

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that's you with nitrous oxide, right, Like you're the one

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.679
<v Speaker 1>who's doing all these things to protect it, to improve

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>your life. You're the one. It's not it's And you

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>can go on Reddit and you can type a whole

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>trip report about how all the you know, you took

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>acid and it made you clean your room, but at

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, you cleaned your room. Right,

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not this. I don't don't attribute it to the drug.

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It was you who did it, and it is you

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>who can continue to do it.

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I just feel like, you know, without it, it's

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to have that kind of clarity, especially

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I would say, I mean, this is probably just an excuse,

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>but my whole life. I have what I would consider

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to be like very extreme ADHD that manifests in the mind,

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>so it's very hard to control my thoughts, you know,

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>have that impulse control.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Brother, If if if I were you, and I really

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>a man, if I were you, man I would really

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>go out in search of like legitimate professional ways to

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>manage your ADHD instead of self medicating with nitrous oxide.

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>You know that that can help me. You know, there's

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>there's better ways to manage this. This is what I'm saying.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, but you know I took all those drugs

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>when I was a kid and they didn't really help.

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I I can't give you anything more than that, man,

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 1>I really, I really can't. I think you gotta like

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like you gotta you and at the end of the day,

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:13.719
<v Speaker 1>man like you gotta you gotta want to stop doing this,

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, And if you don't, then there's nothing I

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>can say to you that'll make you stop. But if

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to, then you should go, you know,

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to a professional about how you can manage your

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>ADHD in a way that's not going to like kill you.

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>But give yourself some credit for the self improvement that

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you've done on yourself thus far. Don't don't hand it

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>over to the nitrosoxs head. The nitrosox side didn't fucking

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>do anything for you. It was all you who did

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>all the various things in your life that are causing

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you to improve. And I think it will continue to

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>be you who does that. But what the fuck do

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I know? I'm a crazy person in a gecko who

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>accidentally started a self help show.

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you why I like your show?

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Well? I think the lizard costume is is very good

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>because the therapist is supposed to be non judgmental, and

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>how can you be judgmental when your dress is a

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 2>get go.

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's true. I guess that's true. What's your

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>name again?

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>A Buddha?

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Budh? Is there anything else you want to say to

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the people of the computer before we go?

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 2>No, thank you very much, Lyle. I appreciate your call

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>it very much and the opportunity to talk to you.

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Buddha, good luck, and Jesus Christ, stop doing

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>so much nicsrous oxide.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, have a good one there, Bye bye bye.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I don't know if that was helpful,

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>or if that was judgmental or I don't know about

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>any of this should I just I don't know what

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I who want I to tell that guy to stop

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>doing so much nitrous oxide. You can stop doing so

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>much nitrous oxide when I stopped eating fucking cosmic brownies

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and jacking off and smoking weed all day. So, but

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that didn't that didn't do anything for me. I don't

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>think it did. I don't think that jacking off and

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>smoking weed, eating cosmic brownies all day improved my life

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in any way, shape or form. I don't think that

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>him doing nitrous oxide improved his life in any way,

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>shape or form. And I believe both of us would

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 1>probably be happier if we didn't do those things. But

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know anything, dude, I'm freaking

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>out over here. I don't I just don't know. But

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try to know stuff and things. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Hello?

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey what's up? Hey?

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 5>How's it going? Hyle?

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>It's going okay, man, it's going okay. How can I

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 1>get you to the sir?

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 5>So, I'm not sure if you read the message that

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 5>I that I put on there, But I used to

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 5>work at it. Well, I had multiple things, but you know,

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 5>I've been hearing a bunch of stuff and I'm like,

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 5>you know what, let's make it funny today. Is that

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 5>all right with you?

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead?

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 5>So I used to work at a Papa John's. I

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 5>want to say about maybe three I know it's been

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 5>longer than that, actually, probably like six or seven years ago.

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 5>And it was fine, you know, nothing out of the ordinary,

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 5>la la okay, first customers an asshole. Well okay, I'll

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 5>let that one's live, because you know, customer service when

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 5>it comes to delivering peaches, you know, it's not necessarily

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 5>all that glorious. But you know, three, four, five, six

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 5>times I had enough of these people because it's in

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 5>a college town, right, So I was like, you know what,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 5>probably never going to see these people ever again, So

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm just going to violate their pieces. What I mean

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 5>by that, my best friend told me not to tell it,

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 5>but I want to say it anyways. So I violated

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 5>their pieces in a way to where I dun'k my

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 5>nuts on them. And I gave that special sauce before

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 5>keyword special sauce. But it wasn't to anybody who was

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 5>kind to me because it was basically to where it

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 5>was rated if you're nice to us, if you tipped well,

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 5>but that didn't necessarily factor in. It just added points.

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 5>But if it was an individual to where they basically

0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 5>mistreated us, you know, demanded their every last cent then

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 5>or just be an absolute dick, then yeah, I would

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 5>do that. And my body saw me one time and

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 5>he's like, are you kidding me? I'm like, I'll give

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 5>you fifty bucks not to say anything. So I actually

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 5>gave him one hundred because he moved out from up

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 5>nore to actually work with me, and he was an

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 5>online friend at the time, but I met him in

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 5>real life and it was amazing.

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So how much would someone have had to tip you

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>for you to not wipe your balls on their pizza?

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 5>I would have to say, like maybe one dollar, but

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 5>it's more like the principle of the matter, I would

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 5>I would say, you know, it would fact like if

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 5>it's like one dollar, then he would equal like ten

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 5>points for you, you know, within my system, or if

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 5>even like a penny, but to ask for exact chance

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 5>and a manner's like, oh well, I need to have

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 5>my exact change now, or something like that, and I'm like, sir,

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 5>I apologize, but unfortunately I do not have that. I

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 5>need to go to the stores like, oh, you better

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 5>do it and give me a free beat that. Yeah,

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 5>you're getting her. You're getting your dunk nut pizza for sure,

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 5>with extra special sauce.

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Over the entire time that you worked at that Papa Johns.

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>How long did you work at the Papa Johns?

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 5>Approximately between five to eight months.

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 1>So over the time that you worked at the Papa Johns,

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>how many pizzas do you believe that you dunked your

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>nuts on slash came onto.

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 5>I would have to say an undeterminable amount.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Because get go that estimate. Give me and give me

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a range.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 5>All right, Let's say between fifty to about sixty five.

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>You wiped your nuts on fifty pizzas.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 5>I was a delivery driver as well, so I had

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 5>ample time to do it. An I'll just say this much.

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 5>Anybody could do anything to your pizzas, So it all

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 5>according to how you treat somebody, or somebody could just

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.919
<v Speaker 5>be having a bad day. At least I had a

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 5>reason to my matteness, so to speak.

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 1>You're like a fucking batman villain except Jesus on pizza.

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, thank you, I guess you can call me mister Freeze.

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 1>None of what either of us just said made any

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>sense but.

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 5>Correct.

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So what kinds of things would people like? When

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you say people mistreated you, what would they do like what?

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm very curious. What's the most mild form of mistreatment

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that you received that you responded to by jezzing on

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>their pizza?

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, it wouldn't be to you know, the mild version

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 5>to be like to an extreme. You know, if somebody's

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 5>having a bad day, you know, I would try to,

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, give a quick talk to because I'm not

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.679
<v Speaker 5>a horrible person, contrary to what everybody has heard, but

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, somebody's going through bad time, I would try

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 5>to pay for their pizza, so to speak, because you

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 5>can tell in somebody's eyes that they were going through something.

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 5>And some people, you know, I've heard other callers say that, yeah,

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 5>they just needed somebody to talk to, and you know

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I was that person. But as far as would going

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 5>to that extreme for what I've done, that's only for

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 5>extreme measures. It wouldn't be anything mild like oh, you

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 5>know you took so long and blah, blah blah blah.

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 5>It's like, yeah, that's fine because I've been there, you know.

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So well. Okay, but but but you said fifty pizzas.

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean that means at least fifty individual people pissed

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you off so much much that you jiz on their pizza.

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.919
<v Speaker 1>What did fifty people? What do these fifty people do

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to you that you felt was so deserving of them

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>fucking eating your comb?

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, the fact that not only I mean to give

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.199
<v Speaker 5>that number, it's a college town and a lot of

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 5>people love to drink around that area, and there was

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 5>just something that were belligerent, you know, silver Spoon and

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Mouth and titled Bridge Hansels or the Karen that really

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 5>has been drinking has been undergoing a bunch of stress

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 5>and taking it out on somebody else. I have a limit,

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 5>but it's like far enough to where they've called supervisors,

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 5>threatened violence on me and the store. I mean, heck,

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 5>we had one sister property have one individual get robbed

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 5>and shot in the head because of how severe the

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 5>situation was, and he was on his way to deliver

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 5>a pizza. He was at a stop light apparently, and

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 5>at all went down.

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you regret doing any of this seven years later, on.

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 5>A logical yes, on a psychological no, not at all.

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 5>They deserve it, and I serve them with a smile.

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Right after, what do you do with your life? Now?

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Where is the pizza masturbator? Seven years later?

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Sorry?

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Just the way you said that was beautiful. Right now

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 5>I am dealing with well, right now, I'll just say this.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I work at a collision center, but I am dealing

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 5>with a knee issue that has prevented me from working.

0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm going through lawyers in regards to the injury because

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 5>the company or the UH insurance adjusture doesn't want to

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 5>pay for it.

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So are you still? I mean to get all right,

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 1>if we can get into this for a second, I mean, yeah, look,

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>chising on people's pizzas is really fucked up. He's really

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. What do you are you? I can't. I

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>don't even do you? Do you still do fucked up

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>ship like that?

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 5>Not at all. Actually, I've been more tame since I've

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 5>been married. It's calmed me down a lot. I used

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 5>to be more crazier.

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 1>You're how long have you been married for?

0:21:55.640 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 5>I've been married. Let's see. I think it's about to

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 5>going on two years now, does she know that.

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You used toges on people's pizzas?

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, my best friend, uh basically confirmed it and

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 5>I told her about it. She said, that fucked up.

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Why would you do that? The simple answer is because

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 5>people are answered.

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 1>You still really haven't answered my question to the degree

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that I feel satisfied with, which is, what did these

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>people fucking do to make you on a jiz on

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 1>their pizza? Like you like, I mean, give me a

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 1>specific scenario or a story like so far, you're just

0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you just give me general answers to this question, all right.

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:42.159
<v Speaker 5>So one specific answer would be I go to somebody's house.

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:45.400
<v Speaker 5>It's in the it's in the backwoods right of the

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 5>town that I lived in, and it was hard to

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 5>get there to begin with because it's all rockey and

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 5>the car that I had at the time was kind

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 5>of a It wasn't the best in the world, but

0:22:55.680 --> 0:23:00.160
<v Speaker 5>it was you know, motor transportation. Go knocking on their door.

<v Speaker 5>Mean, no, no, no, I understand that, but that's why

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:22.800

<v Speaker 5>my face and like, yeah, I'm enjoyed the extra happy

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:25.360
<v Speaker 5>sauce too.

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You got to stop with the cute names for the sauce. Yeah, uh,

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Jesus christ Man.

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 5>I was a very fucked up individual and I realized that,

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 5>and that's why I'm like, wow, I definitely need to stop,

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 5>which I haven't done anything like that ever since.

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, I guess that's good.

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 5>Changed my personality though, But I and now do I

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 5>talk about it more? Yes, I do regret it for

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 5>a simple fact that it's not only health code violation

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 5>but other things as well. And and I haven't been caught,

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 5>but I still feel remorse, you know, years later, contrary

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 5>to what I said earlier.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that's such a one from what you said earlier.

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I know, right, It's like, I guess you have

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 5>to talk about I suppose to actually realize what you

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 5>what you've done. I mean, my best friend even said, like, dude,

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 5>that's fucked and he was there with me during that time.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 5>You know, he didn't stop me or anything. I guess

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 5>he's just as much of a villain than I am,

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 5>by uh association, since he knew. But I'm not going

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 5>to drag him into this though.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>That's I I don't know, do you do you still

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:05.399
<v Speaker 1>order from Papa John's.

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Excuse me.

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 5>Actually the only reason why because I actually tipped the

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 5>individual as well. It's like, depending on what my word is,

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 5>I tiped between ten to twenty dollars.

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I still can't, I really still can't get over the

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that you said fifty because if you were just

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 1>here's here's I mean, there's a lot of things about

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>this that are disturbing, but here's the big thing is

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to me, like, if you've told me if this was like, Okay,

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 1>this person was such a fucking cunt and they were

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 1>horrible and I justed on their pizza, I'd be like,

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty fucked up. But I mean you're telling me,

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you're telling me this happened fifty to sixty five times, Like,

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 1>are there, like there were really fifty people that were

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that much of an asshole to you?

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes? For to prove that if you know anything about

<v Speaker 1>on a slice of pizza. No, call your friends and

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.240

<v Speaker 6>My name is Kai.

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>How can I get you today? Kai? What's going on?

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 6>My life has kind of felt like a matter of

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 6>setbacks recently, and I'm just like questioning things and I

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 6>feel like just talking about it may make me feel

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 6>a little better.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, where do you want to start?

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 6>I guess we'll start with like the beginning of the

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 6>year my dad passed away.

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to hear that, and thank you.

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 6>It really threw me out of whack. I will say

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't super close with my dad, but it hit

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 6>me a lot harder than I thought I was going

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 6>to be affected by it. And at the time I

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 6>was in school, it was supposed to be graduating, and

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 6>with his passing, I ended up having to put a

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 6>pause on classes. So I ended up delaying my graduation

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 6>to this fall. And on top of that, I got

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 6>into a car accident like two months afterwards. So I

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 6>just I feel like I'm in a matter of setback,

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 6>and I just I don't know what to do going forward.

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 6>Like I want to finish college. I know that, but

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 6>just going forward with life just seems hard because every

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 6>time it's like two steps forward, one step back, and

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.959
<v Speaker 6>I don't really know how to change my luck. I

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 6>know there's things out of my control, but there's also

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 6>things in my control that I can change.

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask how old you are?

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 6>I am twenty four?

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well I'm curious what do you What are you

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 1>in college for? What do you like? If you were

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to finish college, what would it be in the field.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 6>I would have gotten my BS in biology and my

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 6>PA in anthropology.

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Are those things that excite you and interest to

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you that you want to do one?

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 6>I was actually lined up to go to grad school,

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 6>but because I delayed my graduation. I got pulled away

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 6>from that grad school.

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what do you want to do? Like what I

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 1>normally I guess what kind of jobs are the uh

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>or at the end of those fields? Okay, I graduate me.

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.719
<v Speaker 6>It would be something doing medical stuff. But I'm at

0:31:57.720 --> 0:31:59.479
<v Speaker 6>a point in my life where I feel like I

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 6>need to re evaluate and I don't want to disappoint people.

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 6>But I'm also thinking like maybe I don't do grad

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 6>school and just kind of work on starting my own

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 6>business like I want to.

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Okay, you said a bunch of interesting things. Just now,

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 1>let's hold on to them. You said, I want to

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:27.920
<v Speaker 1>start my own business like I've always wanted to do.

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:30.480
<v Speaker 1>You said I don't want to disappoint people, and you

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>said you want to reevaluate your life. So I want to.

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to. I want Let's hold on to all

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>three of those. Uh what do you what about your life?

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you reevaluating.

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 6>The pathway that I'm taking to get to my end goal?

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 6>So I'll kind of explain my end goal, kind of

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 6>going back to the business idea. I really like reptiles

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 6>and I want to have a tortoise ranch, and I

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 6>know that it sounds really crazy, but I want to

0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 6>work in conservation and just educating people on reptiles.

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Hold on, I thought the turtles were amphibians.

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 6>No, they're reptiles.

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I didn't know that for a reptile. I know

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 1>very little about reptiles.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 6>It's okay, it happens the best of us.

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 1>That sounds beautiful. I love that idea. That's great, that

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds cool. And I'm not even saying that because I'm biased.

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.600
<v Speaker 1>But all right, so who are you afraid of disappointing?

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And how would you disappoint them?

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 6>Specifically, my aunt, She's not blood related to me, but

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 6>she's the closest relative that I have. She and her

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 6>mom very much want to see me graduate from grad

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 6>school because I've talked about, like probably since I was little,

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 6>wanting to go into.

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let me stop you right there. Not that this

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is that important, but it's a little important. Have they

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>have they funded your college experience at all? Your mom

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and your aunts.

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 6>Not directly. Sometimes they would give me like supplies and stuff,

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:21.840
<v Speaker 6>not like textbooks or anything, just like, but but you're you.

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>You're the one who's taking on the loans. It's not

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like because because look, I want to say, like I

0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 1>want to say, if your I want to say, if

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>your family is like giving you a buck, like they

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 1>gave you a bunch of money to go and you're like,

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to drop out. I understand that stress, but

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 1>this is like your art. I'm sorry I completely cut

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you off while you were talking. But did you so

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 1>you took out the loans to go to school?

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Yep?

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 6>I've been putting myself through school since I started.

0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:56.959
<v Speaker 1>My friend, you should do whatever the fuck you want

0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to do, if that's the case. I, by the way,

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I would say that even if that wasn't the case.

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a little bit harder if that's not

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the case. But like, so, what if your aunt and

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 1>your mom want you to do something because you were

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>talking about doing it since you were a little I

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>frankly think that's a horrible reason to do something.

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it kind of is. But I have disappointment issues

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 6>in the sense that, like, I feel bad making people

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 6>feel bad, and I know her aunt.

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you can't. Yeah, but but but you you

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>really really can't live your life that way. You really can't.

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 1>You're going to actually drive yourself to insanity if you

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 1>try to live your life that way. You will want to.

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just because you can't control how your mom feels

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>about your own life decisions.

0:35:57.560 --> 0:35:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, A.

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And then B is it's your life and you have

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a cool and you have a cool thing that you

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 1>want to do, this reptile thing. Okay, all right, what

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:08.280
<v Speaker 1>do we the three things?

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Your evaluation?

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:10.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.839
<v Speaker 1>The business? Okay, so how would you start this business?

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:14.359
<v Speaker 7>So?

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 6>First thing first would be to get property in order

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 6>to actually do the ranch, I need a property that

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:26.719
<v Speaker 6>would be large enough to hold tortoises because I'm looking

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:28.839
<v Speaker 6>at getting giant tortoises specifically.

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool. How do you how do this? Want

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to procure giant tortoises?

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:42.759
<v Speaker 6>You can actually just buy them online. I don't recommend

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 6>just like buying them blindly, but there's a lot of

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 6>so to speak, dealers and tortoises online that you can find.

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 6>There's a guy that I follow who I'm like, basically

0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 6>I want his life when it comes to just tortoise

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 6>ranching who just sells them for like a couple grand.

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:10.839
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. So all right, let's talk through this. Then,

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 1>what is currently between you and achieving the schal.

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 6>Finances. Really just trying to get everything in order. I

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:28.160
<v Speaker 6>feel like I need to get the college stuff done first,

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 6>because that's something I still want to do. I don't

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 6>want to drop out of college. I'm just I'm not

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 6>sure if I want to do grad school.

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:39.279
<v Speaker 1>But okay, so she haven't you even finished your undergrad No.

0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm finishing this semester, so I'm really excited.

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh all right, so you're almost done. Yeah, okay, So

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:51.359
<v Speaker 1>the decision is, do I want to try to figure

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out how I'm gonna start this tourist ranch, versus do

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to go to grad school?

0:37:55.360 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 6>Exactly?

0:37:57.440 --> 0:37:59.320
<v Speaker 1>What are the reasons why you would want to go

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to grad school?

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 6>I would be able to pay for it a little

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 6>better than a tortoise ranch, and I would get a

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:12.040
<v Speaker 6>bigger return quicker when it comes to finances, because I

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.240
<v Speaker 6>would be almost guaranteed a job out of grad school

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 6>because part of the process is like shadowing with the organization,

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 6>and nine times out of ten you get a job

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:30.240
<v Speaker 6>at that organization, versus like starting a business. I don't

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:32.759
<v Speaker 6>really know much about starting a business, if I'm going

0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:36.839
<v Speaker 6>to be honest, like I do do like contract work.

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 6>But that's about the basics of stuff that I have

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:44.920
<v Speaker 6>for starting a business, and especially like buying land and

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:47.040
<v Speaker 6>that kind of thing to set up this sort of

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 6>business is like way beyond what I know. If that

0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:52.760
<v Speaker 6>makes sense.

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Have you done the math on this of like how

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 1>much does it cost to go to grad school and

0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>how much does it cost to start up this business?

0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 6>Grad school would be cheaper, but that also means that

0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:12.720
<v Speaker 6>I would have to delay even longer from starting because

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 6>this is the end goal is always been to get.

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 3>A ranch.

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Grad twenty four. I think, first of well, I'll say this,

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.359
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I'm glad that you did in none

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of those reasons you gave me. You said anything about

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>your mom and your aunt. I think that's the most

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 1>important thing here, Like you actually you gave me pretty

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:46.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty good solid reasons here. Is there a pathway that involves, Okay,

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I go to grad school, uh, and then I get

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.320
<v Speaker 1>this job and then I can save up more money

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to get the capital to make the ranch. Does that exist?

0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:00.479
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So that's that's kind of the plan for going

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 6>to grad school. If I do go. I've been thinking,

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 6>if I still want to go to grad school, I

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 6>might just change which pathway I'm going and maybe going too,

0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:15.280
<v Speaker 6>like veterinary medicine. Does that makes sense going to veterinary medicine,

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:19.080
<v Speaker 6>because after I leave working, you know, a normal mind

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 6>to five job, I can still utilize those skills.

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh again, I really, I really I love the starting

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 1>your own business idea. Uh and and and doing the

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 1>ranch I do, and I understand that. To me, in

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>my head, it's like, this is just a question of

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>how do you get the money that it was required

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to upstart exactly? And uh I this is this is

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>all very logical to me. I'm not worried about you.

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, I will say that I have people

0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:56.000
<v Speaker 6>like backing, Like I have a very loving and supporting

0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 6>boyfriend that is one hundred percent on board with like

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 6>Tortoise ranching with me. We've been together for like ten years,

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 6>so he kind of knows that I am like dead

0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 6>serious on it.

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 1>No, Tortoise Ranching is I want you to know, just

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>if you ever doubt it. I really just want you

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to know people have had much, much, much stupider dreams

0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:24.520
<v Speaker 1>than to open a tortoise ranch.

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 6>That does make me feel a little better.

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I I I mean, I'm sure you can. I

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 1>could name ten stupider dreams than that, But I'm not

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>going to I'm out of respect to those those people

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 1>with those stupid dreams. So I'm not worried about anything

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that you said, except for like the trying to please

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 1>your parents and shit. But you you seem you seem

0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 1>like you have this on a lock.

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:58.279
<v Speaker 6>I try to. I'm trying to have it figured out.

0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 6>It's just I hate that it's taking me longer to

0:42:01.520 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 6>get to where I want to be because of all

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:07.360
<v Speaker 6>these like setbacks and just expectations of people.

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, if it makes you feel any better, you should. Actually,

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say something kind of weird that I don't

0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>even know if I fully believe, but I'm gonna try it.

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 1>You should actually enjoy this time that is spent achieving

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:28.000
<v Speaker 1>your goal, because once you actually do achieve your goal,

0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>once you get your tortoise ranch, you might get kind

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of bored.

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 6>I hope not. I love tortoises, but I do understand

0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 6>what you're saying that it's like climbing a mountain and

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 6>enjoying the view, and once you get to the top,

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 6>it's just like, oh I did all this for this,

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 6>There we go.

0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 1>See You're well, no, not all this for this, I

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>guess I don't. Yeah, I think, yeah, you don't know.

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 1>That's stupid. I think when you have a tortoise ranch,

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you'll actually be pretty stoked about that. But again, but

0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>it's in the future. It's something to look forward to her.

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:03.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, again, I'm not I'm really I'm really not

0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 1>worried about you. You seem like if I had to

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:10.720
<v Speaker 1>place money on whether or not you would eventually start

0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 1>this tortoise ranch, I would do it.

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 6>It's gonna happen. I'll make it happen one way or another.

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:17.760
<v Speaker 6>It's just a matter of time.

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have any geckos at this ranch or just tortoises.

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:25.120
<v Speaker 6>I want to get a giant lizard, not a gecko,

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 6>but a tagu.

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>What's a taku?

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:33.839
<v Speaker 6>A tagu is a giant lizard. They're from Argentina. They're

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 6>about the size of like a small to medium dog,

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:42.279
<v Speaker 6>and they're just they're really cute and friendly, like they

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 6>have a very outgoing personality. They eat anything. They're like

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.440
<v Speaker 6>much friendlier than monitor lizards.

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:55.560
<v Speaker 1>So I will manifest a large Argentinian lizard for your future.

0:43:56.680 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 7>Thank you.

0:43:58.320 --> 0:43:59.400
<v Speaker 1>What is your name again?

0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:00.439
<v Speaker 6>Kai?

0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Kai? Is there anything else you want to say to

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the people of the computer before.

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:09.640
<v Speaker 6>We go, Please watch for reptiles when you guys drive,

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:11.640

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I second that. I second that I've gotten hit by

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.840
<v Speaker 1>several cars while walking on the streets. So thank you

<v Speaker 1>What's up Addie? How can I get you today? How

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 1>is life? What would you like to talk about on

0:45:58.800 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the on the on the thing?

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Life's pretty good right now? I have to say overall, yeah,

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I just I think I might have

0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:12.440
<v Speaker 4>a cool story about when I had we didn't do

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:16.880
<v Speaker 4>psychosis that I could talk about.

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh, sure, go ahead.

0:46:22.680 --> 0:46:25.520
<v Speaker 4>So there's a little bit of context, I guess to

0:46:25.640 --> 0:46:31.360
<v Speaker 4>kind of like bring the whole situation together. From about

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:35.360
<v Speaker 4>when I was like sixteen up until twenty, I was

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:37.480
<v Speaker 4>like a chronic weed smoker.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:40.759
<v Speaker 8>I was I.

0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:43.920
<v Speaker 4>Like started off not smoking too much, but it very quickly, like,

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.959
<v Speaker 4>especially when I got to college, I was smoking every

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:47.800
<v Speaker 4>single day.

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:56.200
<v Speaker 8>And yeah, I stopped for about three years, and something

0:46:56.239 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 8>happened in my life that was I had a lot

0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:00.799
<v Speaker 8>going on and I was really stressed out.

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I would definitely say I was addicted to weed and

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I knew it. And so then I picked up smoking again,

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, I guess my brain is just not one

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 4>of those brains that does well with weed, because I

0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:21.239
<v Speaker 4>ended up having a psychotic episode. So I basically like

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 4>I had never experienced it before. It was basically like

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:32.120
<v Speaker 4>I completely lost touch of reality right, like I it

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.319
<v Speaker 4>was so strange, like I don't know, Sorry, my thoughts

0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:40.560
<v Speaker 4>are all over the place, but I basically took a

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 4>hit off of a pen that was not like it

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:49.920
<v Speaker 4>wasn't obviously from like a dispensary or anything. And I

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:53.759
<v Speaker 4>remember getting into the shower and at the time, I

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:55.680
<v Speaker 4>was really into Florence and the Machine.

0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:56.239
<v Speaker 9>I still am.

0:47:56.320 --> 0:47:59.160
<v Speaker 4>I love her, And while I was in the shower,

0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 4>I felt like I was being spoken to by her,

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:07.960
<v Speaker 4>like through her music. And also along with this, like

0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:11.279
<v Speaker 4>context wise, like I used to be super super religious,

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:15.919
<v Speaker 4>I went to like a program to like get into ministry, like.

0:48:15.880 --> 0:48:17.720
<v Speaker 9>I was super super religious.

0:48:17.320 --> 0:48:17.880
<v Speaker 2>For a while.

0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 4>And so while I was in the shower. I thought

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 4>that I was having a what like an epiphany.

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:30.239
<v Speaker 7>Turns out I was just going into psychosis.

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Didn't know that at the time, and I was like sobbing,

0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 4>and I was like started coming up with like all

0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:40.000
<v Speaker 4>of these ideas, and like I saw this vision of

0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:43.759
<v Speaker 4>like basically my life right Like it started off with

0:48:43.880 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 4>just like flowers cooing in a field, and it was

0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:49.920
<v Speaker 4>like these flashes of images of like different things in

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:53.240
<v Speaker 4>my life that like had happened or were going to happen,

0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 4>at least how it felt.

0:48:57.800 --> 0:48:59.560
<v Speaker 6>And I started like.

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Singing to the music, thinking that I was like supposed

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:09.720
<v Speaker 4>to be calling out to other women and trying to

0:49:09.800 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 4>like send a message out. And at the time, like

0:49:13.880 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 4>when it first began, I thought, if this isn't real,

0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:21.480
<v Speaker 4>then nothing will happen. But if this is real, then

0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I'll get some sort of reaction like from my roommates

0:49:24.760 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 4>and stuff, because I was living in a dorm. And

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:30.760
<v Speaker 4>so I sang for like an hour in the shower,

0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:33.760
<v Speaker 4>just like belting my lungs out, and I was super

0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 4>like nervous after I can I.

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm real quick, real quick, because some people in the

0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:41.600
<v Speaker 1>chat are mentioning this, Are you sure this was not

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a dnt vape.

0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm almost I have no idea, I because it was

0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:50.360
<v Speaker 4>from a friend.

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 7>So, like she said, it was a weed pen. Nobody

0:49:54.000 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 7>else had this reaction.

0:49:55.160 --> 0:49:57.879
<v Speaker 4>Everyone else was fine, Like she was hitting it and

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 4>I was hitting it, and she didn't have any sort of.

0:50:01.360 --> 0:50:03.360
<v Speaker 6>Adverse effects to it. This was just me.

0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you maybe you hit the wrong button. Maybe it

0:50:07.960 --> 0:50:10.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know those markers have multiple colors. You

0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:13.880
<v Speaker 1>know the markers you have like multiple colors on you.

0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You probably hit the d MT button on this fucking pen. Yeah,

0:50:18.960 --> 0:50:23.839
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, that sounds I have no idea. I mean,

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:27.080
<v Speaker 1>has that happened to you after the fact, has it

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:28.839
<v Speaker 1>happened to you at any other times? Fucking weed?

0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 4>So there was like, it's nothing like this, Like I

0:50:33.719 --> 0:50:36.560
<v Speaker 4>didn't go So in this case, I completely like lost

0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:39.400
<v Speaker 4>touch of reality. I thought I was the next Messiah

0:50:39.480 --> 0:50:41.640
<v Speaker 4>for like three days, and I would come in and

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 4>out of it. But like for the most part, like

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:46.120
<v Speaker 4>I was walking around thinking that I was like a

0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:49.880
<v Speaker 4>deity on earth for like three days. I never experienced

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:53.280
<v Speaker 4>that sort of like complete loss of touch of from reality.

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.320
<v Speaker 6>But I did have what I now.

0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:59.120
<v Speaker 4>Realized through like therapy and talking to doctors what might

0:50:59.160 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 4>have been like a man induced episode from weed, like

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:06.960
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years prior. So it's all really strange,

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Like I don't really know how to explain it.

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>When's the last time you spoke to weed?

0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 7>Over a year ago?

0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Now? Like I think almost maybe coming up on two years.

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, maybe like a year and a half actually,

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:23.239
<v Speaker 4>And do.

0:51:23.239 --> 0:51:24.960
<v Speaker 1>You do you feel do you have you had any

0:51:25.000 --> 0:51:26.720
<v Speaker 1>psychotic episodes since?

0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:27.160
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:51:27.280 --> 0:51:29.279
<v Speaker 4>I haven't, thankfully, No are you?

0:51:29.360 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Are you feeling better? Does does it feel good to

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.400
<v Speaker 1>be attached to reality or do you sometimes wish.

0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:36.279
<v Speaker 8>To touch a little more?

0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's it's a little strange. It was the

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:42.400
<v Speaker 4>most terrifying experience of my life. I will say I

0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:45.280
<v Speaker 4>feel very happy to be grounded and attached to reality.

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:47.680
<v Speaker 6>I do miss the euphoria.

0:51:47.880 --> 0:51:49.759
<v Speaker 7>I guess that I felt.

0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Kind of just like the carelessness. And I mean, if

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 4>you feel.

0:51:53.280 --> 0:51:55.040
<v Speaker 7>Like a god like you feel pretty great.

0:51:56.120 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I think I missed the like euphoria that

0:51:59.560 --> 0:52:01.360
<v Speaker 4>I had felt at the time. But I do not

0:52:01.480 --> 0:52:04.000
<v Speaker 4>miss the fear that I felt when I was kind

0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:06.960
<v Speaker 4>of coming down and realizing what was happening. Because it's

0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:10.640
<v Speaker 4>scary to lose, uh, you know, control of your mind like.

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:13.200
<v Speaker 1>That when you said you thought you were the Messiah

0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for three days? What did that work?

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:19.120
<v Speaker 1>What were those thoughts?

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:23.120
<v Speaker 4>So the night that it happened was definitely the worst.

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.800
<v Speaker 4>I quite literally thought that I was going through a

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 4>transformation that was like I was basically taking on all

0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 4>of the sin of the world and like turning into Jesus,

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 4>Like I was going to be the next Jesus basically,

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 4>and so I needed to like and I had like

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.720
<v Speaker 4>some sort of message to like spread to the world

0:52:43.800 --> 0:52:47.160
<v Speaker 4>about like God and mother Nature and stuff. So like

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:51.480
<v Speaker 4>I I physically like at one point was feeling like

0:52:51.600 --> 0:52:55.240
<v Speaker 4>the pain of like the world on in my body.

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 4>And then the next day, like after I kind of

0:52:59.000 --> 0:53:02.399
<v Speaker 4>like what went throughquote unquote my like transformation the next day,

0:53:02.920 --> 0:53:04.440
<v Speaker 4>this is when I started to kind of come in

0:53:04.480 --> 0:53:07.000
<v Speaker 4>and out of it, where like there were moments where

0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:10.640
<v Speaker 4>I like was walking around my campus like quite literally

0:53:10.719 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 4>thinking like nobody here knows that I'm a god, like

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:16.799
<v Speaker 4>that I am like a deity. And then I would

0:53:16.880 --> 0:53:18.360
<v Speaker 4>kind of come down a little bit and be like

0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:22.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm crazy, and then I kind of like flip flop.

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:23.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that makes sense.

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:25.759
<v Speaker 1>But what if you were a god, would you be

0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a benevolent one? Or were you like or were you

0:53:28.160 --> 0:53:30.480
<v Speaker 1>walking around like nobody here knows that I'm God, so

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:31.640
<v Speaker 1>they better not fuck with me.

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:37.680
<v Speaker 7>I you know, I think it's we're just saying think

0:53:37.760 --> 0:53:39.759
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of both. Like I was kind of

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:43.240
<v Speaker 7>like I was super confident, and most of like I guess,

0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:46.439
<v Speaker 7>what I wanted to do was like like spread love.

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.560
<v Speaker 7>Like I'm a very loving person, so I think mostly benevolent.

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:52.359
<v Speaker 7>But there was also a side of me that.

0:53:52.400 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 4>Was like, no one can fucking touch me, and like

0:53:54.920 --> 0:53:57.240
<v Speaker 4>if they did, then you know, I'll show them.

0:53:57.440 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, have you recently else at all as though

0:54:01.640 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you might be a god of some kind?

0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:09.799
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. Now I feel very normal, Like

0:54:09.880 --> 0:54:12.840
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I'm just your average you know person.

0:54:14.520 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good, that's probably healthy. It's probably healthy not

0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:22.959
<v Speaker 1>thinking that you're thinking that you're a god. But maybe

0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:25.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little fun for a day.

0:54:25.840 --> 0:54:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I mean for a day if I could,

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:29.640
<v Speaker 4>if I could do it, I think I would do

0:54:29.719 --> 0:54:34.200
<v Speaker 4>it just to you know, see what it's like.

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:34.640
<v Speaker 7>But I don't.

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that's a lot of responsibility to carry on

0:54:37.080 --> 0:54:38.880
<v Speaker 4>my shoulders to do it, you know, full.

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Time, listen. Anytime you want, you could go into a

0:54:43.760 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>volunt You could probably go into some form of a

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:52.680
<v Speaker 1>voluntary psychosis. Yeah, but it's not I don't think that's

0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to voluntarily go insane because you want

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to feel like God.

0:55:03.719 --> 0:55:04.359
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:07.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think if something bad enough happened where in

0:55:07.760 --> 0:55:10.799
<v Speaker 4>my life where I was like I don't want to

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:13.680
<v Speaker 4>be a human anymore, maybe that would be like a

0:55:13.840 --> 0:55:16.239
<v Speaker 4>super you know, it would be a super helpful way

0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 4>to try to just let go. But yeah, yeah, I

0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:21.400
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:55:22.880 --> 0:55:23.760
<v Speaker 1>What's your name again?

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 8>Addie?

0:55:25.680 --> 0:55:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:55:26.920 --> 0:55:28.520
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go? Addie?

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:33.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, tell someone that you love them today.

0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Tell someone that you love them today. Tell God that

0:55:41.200 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you love them today. Maybe he'll love you back, especially

0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:52.360
<v Speaker 1>if it maybe he'll stop making all those horrible, horrible

0:55:52.400 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>things happen to you if you tell them you love

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 1>them once in a while. All right, Bye, Eddie, Bye.

0:55:59.520 --> 0:56:01.520
<v Speaker 6>Thanks guy.

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Hello. Hello, what is your name?

0:56:07.200 --> 0:56:07.600
<v Speaker 6>Wow?

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 9>It's Alyssa. I can't believe this. I've been watching the

0:56:10.040 --> 0:56:11.320
<v Speaker 9>stream for years.

0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, glad to have you here, Alyssa says, here that

0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:18.919
<v Speaker 1>you are concerned you're becoming too much like your mother.

0:56:20.800 --> 0:56:23.040
<v Speaker 9>Yes, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:24.960
<v Speaker 9>I love my mom. She's my best friend.

0:56:25.760 --> 0:56:28.120
<v Speaker 3>But I just.

0:56:29.719 --> 0:56:34.560
<v Speaker 9>I don't know. It's kind of having an impact on

0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:38.800
<v Speaker 9>some of my decisions. I think I messaged you before

0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:41.960
<v Speaker 9>that saying that I'm thinking about becoming a therapist and

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:45.520
<v Speaker 9>my mom's a therapist. So I've always thought I don't

0:56:45.520 --> 0:56:49.560
<v Speaker 9>want to do that because that's what she does. But

0:56:49.680 --> 0:56:51.359
<v Speaker 9>now I do want to do it, but I don't

0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:53.080
<v Speaker 9>know if I should because that's what she does. Does

0:56:53.120 --> 0:56:53.720
<v Speaker 9>that make sense?

0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:58.880
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense in theory, but in practice, why do

0:56:58.960 --> 0:56:59.479
<v Speaker 1>you care?

0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:02.839
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, exactly. I don't know. It's just me and my

0:57:02.840 --> 0:57:06.640
<v Speaker 9>mom are literally the same person she's We're both the

0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:11.000
<v Speaker 9>same personality type, we're both Leo's, We're very similar. I

0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:13.680
<v Speaker 9>love her, she's my role model, but I don't want to.

0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 9>I guess it's a stupid thing. Like if I, quote

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:22.480
<v Speaker 9>unquote grew up to be like my mom, that wouldn't

0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:24.560
<v Speaker 9>be a bad thing because she's great.

0:57:25.600 --> 0:57:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, take your mom out of it. Like,

0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>do you want to be a therapist?

0:57:29.720 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 9>Yeah? I do, I've I always have, but I've always

0:57:33.280 --> 0:57:36.080
<v Speaker 9>told myself, I'm not going to do that because that's

0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:37.560
<v Speaker 9>what my mom does. I don't want to do what

0:57:37.600 --> 0:57:40.960
<v Speaker 9>my mom does. But it's the only thing that I

0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:43.560
<v Speaker 9>keep coming back to, Like I'm so unsatisfied in my

0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:52.280
<v Speaker 9>job right now, and I'm just I've always told myself

0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:58.240
<v Speaker 9>like maybe when I'm older, somewhere down the road, but

0:57:58.360 --> 0:58:00.160
<v Speaker 9>it's just the thing I keep coming back to. So

0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:04.040
<v Speaker 9>I don't know. I guess that's saying it out loud

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:06.520
<v Speaker 9>makes me realize it's kind of a silly concern.

0:58:09.160 --> 0:58:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, like I mean, point case closed. If

0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a therapist, then why does it

0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:17.040
<v Speaker 1>matter if your mom was one?

0:58:17.760 --> 0:58:23.280
<v Speaker 9>Well that's true, but also like I'm worried. I guess

0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:28.640
<v Speaker 9>nobody is one hundred percent uh mentally healthy. Like I

0:58:28.760 --> 0:58:34.160
<v Speaker 9>definitely still have my own stuff I'm working out, So

0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:38.440
<v Speaker 9>I guess another part of my concern is, like, is it,

0:58:38.880 --> 0:58:43.840
<v Speaker 9>you know, should I be the person giving people advice

0:58:44.240 --> 0:58:46.120
<v Speaker 9>when I don't even have my own shaw worked out?

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:46.600
<v Speaker 9>You know?

0:58:47.520 --> 0:58:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm depressed and anxious and completely insane, and

0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for some reason people continue to ask me what they

0:58:56.320 --> 0:59:00.520
<v Speaker 1>should do with their lives. Oh true, But I'm also

0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a real therapist. I'm a fucking internet streamer guy.

0:59:03.960 --> 0:59:10.520
<v Speaker 1>So but I I don't. I look, here's my final

0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:15.040
<v Speaker 1>opinion on this. What's alyssa is that, like, I mean,

0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:17.320
<v Speaker 1>stop giving yourself reasons not to do a thing that

0:59:17.360 --> 0:59:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to do, and they're not good. They're not

0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:21.280
<v Speaker 1>good reasons. Like if you want to do the thing,

0:59:21.360 --> 0:59:22.000
<v Speaker 1>go do the thing.

0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:27.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, no, that's a good point. It's good to have

0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:29.600
<v Speaker 9>somebody else to tell me that I just wish. So

0:59:29.720 --> 0:59:32.720
<v Speaker 9>I feel so directionless, Like sometimes you.

0:59:32.720 --> 0:59:34.200
<v Speaker 10>Just want what do you mean you feel hold on?

0:59:34.240 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 10>Hold on what you keep saying this thing? What do

0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:38.720
<v Speaker 10>you mean you feel directionless? You have a direction, you

0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:40.360
<v Speaker 10>have a thing you're telling me over and over again

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:42.640
<v Speaker 10>that you want to do. That's the opposite of direction

0:59:42.720 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 10>list that's the.

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:47.240
<v Speaker 9>Direction out of the country. So that's the other part

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:50.320
<v Speaker 9>of it. So what I don't know, I also want

0:59:50.360 --> 0:59:52.439
<v Speaker 9>to move out of the country, so that's the other

0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:56.920
<v Speaker 9>part of it. So it's like I can I can

0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:59.560
<v Speaker 9>apply to grad school here, but then I'm kind of

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:03.160
<v Speaker 9>like locking myself into I guess I'm not because I

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:07.600
<v Speaker 9>could work remotely once I'm licensed. But the other option

1:00:07.680 --> 1:00:11.240
<v Speaker 9>would be to apply to grad programs outside of the country.

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:13.800
<v Speaker 9>I just can't decide what route to take.

1:00:16.040 --> 1:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>What country do you want to move to?

1:00:20.360 --> 1:00:27.000
<v Speaker 9>Kind of I'm very open honestly. That's like France is one.

1:00:27.800 --> 1:00:30.040
<v Speaker 9>I just got back from a trip to France. It

1:00:30.160 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 9>was really lovely. I can speak a tiny tiny bit

1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:40.160
<v Speaker 9>of French. Uh, maybe the UK. Those would be my

1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:40.680
<v Speaker 9>top two.

1:00:40.880 --> 1:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I would say, Okay, this all sounds good. I can,

1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I can, I can. I be honest with you, Yeah,

1:00:48.680 --> 1:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>please you there's no reason to invent reasons why you

1:00:57.160 --> 1:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't go do fun, cool, exciting things, right, You're like,

1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm observing is that you're inventing reasons. Yeah,

1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>be scared and happy that don't that don't exist.

1:01:12.280 --> 1:01:17.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, because it's just I guess hard to actually like

1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:19.840
<v Speaker 9>do the thing. You know, you just have to decide to.

1:01:19.880 --> 1:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Just that's the thing. I mean, your mother, the fact

1:01:23.640 --> 1:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that your mom was a therapist, like who, like, who cares?

1:01:27.160 --> 1:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't matter at all. You want to do this thing,

1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll go do it.

1:01:31.960 --> 1:01:33.480

<v Speaker 3>Uh have to figure out.

1:01:36.800 --> 1:01:42.520
