0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the mask. I had to wear the mask, and I

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>was like I completely forgot about any.

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Of this you wear a mask, I think. Yeah.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in Mexico City a couple places I had to

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>wear a mask.

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry I thought. I

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>mean I imagined you in my head with a little

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>a little a little mask, like you know, like a mask,

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 2>like a mask, I don't know, something like that, or

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe a huge mask or a huge ship something like that.

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh you said, like.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:06:00.240

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>used to the term vocals, baby, But yeah, a mask, right.

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that'd be more fun than the fucking shitty

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>paper one that.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>I was way more fun than having like stupid masks.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Actually went, I went to a Loocha thing when I

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>was in Mexico City. It was fucking crazy, dude.

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well I only did once when I was when

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I was when I was skided, like when I was

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>like seven years old. I guess like me and a

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>couple of cousins where I mean they took us. Uh,

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean someone took this. I'm sorry.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm way too nervous for this.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>So you're wrestling mat.

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, tell me more about your life. What how old

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>are you?

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm twenty three years old, nice man? What do you.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? Are you in school? Do you work?

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I work at a call center? Uh? You know these

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>places where you go with and then a company like

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 2>takes you and well do you take phones for them?

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I do.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm, uh what what are these people call you about?

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's only for dental appointments, you know, it's not

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>like way too just I just do appointments, dental appointments

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>for kids.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>That's all.

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, like I do the appointments, I cancel

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>them or maybe I schedule them. That's the other thing

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it fun canceling appointments? Like do you get like

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>a little hit hit of dopamine when you hit like

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the big red cancel?

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>But maybe no, no, no, I mean it's not that exciting.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean it becomes like something mechanical after you do

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>you do it like a few times, right. But the

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>funny in that work, I mean, in my eyes, lies

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>on the people around you. Maybe, I mean, you just

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>make some conversation and maybe the ship isn't that bad anymore.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, So you have co workers that you

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that you fuck with, that you have nice conversations with.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, no, no, I don't mean like having meaningful conversations, well,

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>not not necessarily having like conversations about things that I

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>like to talk about with them, But as long as

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I have something to talk about, I mean, that's that's

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>the thing. Maybe we could be talking about their things,

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 2>things that they like to do, or plans that they have,

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>or maybe my own plans. Maybe I'll mention them.

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes as well. Or I don't know.

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have this friends here, I mean, well,

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not a friend. I'd like to reserve that term

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 2>two real friends, right, But I have this guy sitting

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>next to me with my companion, and we talked about.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You said companion, and you like to reserve the word

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>friend because I feel like companion is almost more intimate

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 1>than friends.

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's right, Yes, I think I didn't stop

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 2>that the time I was about to use like, uh,

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, companion sounded to me like campaignero, But no,

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that's not companion, right.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. But continue tell me about this guy.

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we just talked about one piece, and I

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 2>really do like one piece a lot. I like that.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm not a manga guy or I'm not

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 2>an anima guy like two years ago. Uh, someone at

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>another work talk told me about this manga one piece.

<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff of course that I mean, it's

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>stated that might be dated. But no, still there, okay, yeah.

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm still here. There's a lot of so so

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you were you were taught to be Christian, so now

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.479
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough it's you you don't even know how

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to not be it.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, it's I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 2>go to that extent. I'm sorry if I might, if

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I might sound like that, but no, No, like my

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.800

<v Speaker 2>but only only two two of us. My little sister

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and I took us the church. I mean not like

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 2>nor my my, my my dad or my mom. They

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>never were like super religious, never liked that. That's never

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 2>been ilgious then and a mom, well she liked Christian

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>church when she took us there and we stood there

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>because she liked it, and I liked that. And yeah,

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean I like that.

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I like the church.

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of things that I like from church,

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 2>even though I I'm not a part of it anymore.

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Now where do you think we go when we die.

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>David, Oh, I don't know. Where do I think we grow?

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to.

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'd like the idea that we go somewhere.

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and now I found myself more comfortable with

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the ideas well.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean.

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>We could be far off something else. Maybe we go

0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>somewhere else. I mean maybe, I mean just a possibility.

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I mean, I don't have a problem if

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I ever stop existing.

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Mmmm. That's good. That's good to not have a problem

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>if you stop existing. Some people are are very afraid

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of not existing.

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 2>But I was a great deal not assisting you were existing. Yeah,

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 2>that's a good story, Can I tell you?

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Yes, of course.

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay, listen to this.

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is the story of how I well, this

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 2>is a story of how I I realized that I

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 2>was about to die. Well, not about to say it

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that I realized that that I will die.

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Eventually, or the story of you realizing that you are.

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Not immortal, yes, or or that I might not keep existing.

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I can't hit me.

0:21:52.800 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 2>It was when Michael Jackson died. Yeah, So so it

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 2>was like this.

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.879
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how how much oble I was.

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe eleven I was. I was skidded uh, but we

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 2>were sitting at the couch and then the news it

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.400
<v Speaker 2>was like a movie thing, like the news for every

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 2>time we turned in, will have the news that Michael

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:26.880
<v Speaker 2>had died. Yeah, And and then the next week it

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>was almost all television.

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Was filled with it.

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean like rebedias and stuff.

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 1>That he had.

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 2>And I mean you made you can think about it,

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean you made you know how what I'm talking about.

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>So so I remember that I was stilled with this

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>idea he died, of course, right. And then the next moment,

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember, it was like I was in this couch,

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>in the same couch that that I saw the news

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 2>with my sister. I was on my elder sisters, like

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting on her legs, like my head was

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 2>on her legs, and she was watching TV and we

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>were watching music. Like there was this song which I

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 2>still remember. It was a song from a Mexican band.

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 2>But that was the moment I realized, and I just

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 2>start crying. I just start crying. And my sister told me, like,

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:30.239
<v Speaker 2>what's what's wrong. She really got like worried, what's going on?

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 2>And then I tried to explain her. And the next

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 2>few weeks or a month. I mean after that, it

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>was awful, like I couldn't. Like every time I would

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 2>go to sleep, I mean before goes, before sleeping, I

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.919
<v Speaker 2>will say I would repeat my I would repeat myself

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 2>like I might ever stop sisting, like I might, I

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 2>might not be a light tomorrow.

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, huh.

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 2>How did you get Michael Jackson? How did I get

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 2>over that? I don't know, Like I just accepted it.

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I I think that I got work. I think I

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 2>got like tired of the idea of being worried about it,

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.360
<v Speaker 2>like because it was at first it was a.

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Lot of stress.

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean I do I remember as that like it

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was super stressful, super it was horrible.

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 4>But but then I.

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I just accepted it, like I stopped. I I just

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>stopped thinking about That's what it did. Like I just said,

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, I'll I'll just live and that's it.

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll worried. I'll eventually worried about that later and if

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I die, then I'll die. I can control that, I gotta.

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I used to repeat that to myself.

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I can control that drink.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 1>You totally can't, though, yes, I mean we cannot.

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh used to you used to repeat yours to yourself.

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I cannot control that.

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I cannot control that.

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, right right right, fascinating Michael Jackson And so

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>before so before my so what you were eleven years old,

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>so from ages so so before Michael Jackson died, you

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:26.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't even realize or you did, like that was your

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>first kind of brush with Oh I'm I'm I am mortal.

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the ship up. I could stop existing. Yes,

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 2>it was that moment.

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 3>It was that moment.

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 4>M hm.

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.399
<v Speaker 1>And how do you feel now about the fact that

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you aren't going to exist? To you just have accepted

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:49.919
<v Speaker 1>that you cannot control it?

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I can say that I have accepted it.

0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh. I mean and I don't want to stop existing,

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 2>of course, but I mean I want to keep living.

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 4>And that's it.

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's a matter of not worrying, not

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 2>to not worry about the wrong things. I think it's

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 2>more that in my head and the thing that I

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:18.239
<v Speaker 2>keep repeating myself. Uh, that's what helps to accept it.

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to me, and he's such a nice guy, and I

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>had never in a thousand trillion fucking years thought that

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:30.520

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:36.520

0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 3>story and I like have a dilemma that I would

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 3>like your opinion on. Okay, it's kind of a long story,

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 3>but okay, so to.

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:06.360

<v Speaker 3>I'll do my best, Not really, but I'll do my best.

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I have a childhood friend who me and

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 3>them were basically friends since like preschool probably, and we

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 3>pretty much like grew up together. But as you get older,

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 3>we started to like argue a lot and we would

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 3>clash a lot of our personality didn't get along. They're

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 3>super eccentric, and I started to kind of get more

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 3>into like going to school, high school, college. They kind

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.959
<v Speaker 3>of started to dive into like alcohol, alcoholism, and like

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 3>just just doing a lot of drugs and ship which

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 3>at the time, like freshman year of high school. You know,

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 3>me and them, we did a lot of ship together.

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 3>But uh, this is man, I can't do this in

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 3>two minutes. Man, what yeah?

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>You can you? Yeah? She got Okay, you have a friend.

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Your friend was getting into drugs. We're doing homework, and

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>then so yeah, to tell me and then just we

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, we said to.

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Split and so uh, we started to split up, and

0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 3>eventually his life kind of caught up with him and

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 3>he ended up going to jail. So the story, the

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 3>story of what he told me is really funny and interesting.

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 3>But all I know is that he lied to me

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 3>about what he was sent in for and basically was

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 3>in jail for five months or so. Uh, and he

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 3>was like at this time he would have been he

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 3>was a minor, Like he was under age. He was

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 3>like sixteen or seventeen. But I'm an mc so here

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 3>people under the age of eighteen, I think, I forget

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 3>there's an age that like, I don't know, you wouldn't

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 3>expect it. But he was basically treated as an adult.

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:10.959
<v Speaker 3>So he was in jail for five months and then

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 3>he was sent to some kind of rehab camp. And

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 3>so I'm very conflicted because you know, I've left out

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of details, but I feel very conflicted about

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 3>it because on the one hand, this is like a

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 3>childhood friend, but and like you know, I still, like

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 3>literally like I think about him all the time, and

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I want to see him again. But at the same time,

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 3>our lives are so different now than they were, like

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 3>before he got arrested, Like even before, like before he

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 3>got arrested, we were already getting like divided and arguing

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 3>about shit.

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>So okay, yeah, so what does this all have to

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>do with you?

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, for me currently, I'm not a person has like

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot of friends. I mean, you know, I I

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:11.239
<v Speaker 3>just graduated from like a community college, like you know,

0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I was going during COVID, so not really needing a

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of people. So my my list of friends is

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 3>rather low, like I have some I have some online friends,

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 3>but you know, in general, at least for in person,

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 3>this was a very like.

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna interrupt you real quick. I'm gonna

0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:33.880
<v Speaker 1>interrupt you real quick. Okay, I'm gonna try to summarize

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this thing. You have this for. How old are you?

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I'm twenty one, you're.

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one, okay. And this friend Hell is his friends.

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 3>We're the same age, Like he was born like two

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 3>weeks before me.

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:54.280
<v Speaker 1>So okay, that's cute that you guys know each other's birthdays. Yeah, okay,

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And do you guys live in the same state?

0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so well, ideally U in the same city that

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 3>I know of, For all I know, he could be

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 3>across the country by now, like I.

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Know, wait a minute, So is this guy still in jail?

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, no no. So he went to that rehab? Shit,

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:14.800
<v Speaker 3>do you want me to preface? Because I think I

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 3>should tell you, at the very least like what he

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.720
<v Speaker 3>lied about, because it's kind of it adds a layer

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 3>to this. Okay, Okay, So he told me, I'll just

0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:31.800
<v Speaker 3>say that he he told me that he was arrested

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:35.879
<v Speaker 3>for bootlegging. I told you he was eccentric. I won't

0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 3>get into it. But he was arrested for bootlegging, and

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 3>it turned out that he actually was sent to a

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 3>sex rehab. And the thing is, why would you get

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 3>sent to a sex rehab for bootlegging? Now, let me preface.

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:57.279
<v Speaker 3>Bootlegging is definitely the type of crime that he would

0:35:57.320 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 3>have committed. So it actually is believable because he did

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 3>make his own alcohol. So okay, yeah, but the sex

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 3>crime thing, you know, that's that's a big thing. I mean,

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 3>he was sent to a kind of rehab camp. That's

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 3>all I really know.

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It was like Mormon was in Utah, are you guys Mormons?

0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, no no. I'm actually as far

0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 3>from religious currently than I've ever been in my life.

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:33.319
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, here's here's why.

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's why I asked you to explain it in two minutes.

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't just being I mean, I was being a

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>dick a little bit, but I don't think I was

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 1>just being a dick because that he's ultimately well, because

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing, is the crux of this issue. I

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>find I'm not a genius of any kind, but I

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>always find that, like when it comes to stuff like this,

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the the you know, the crux of the issues never

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in the details, It's in the macro. So look, do

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you so you know? Is this guy's in jail?

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 3>So I for no. He came back. I think a

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 3>couple I would say, two or three years ago, So

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 3>it's been it's been a while.

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the desire to be friends with him?

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Because let me tell you this. Let me tell you this.

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I when I I when you were, when you were

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about it earlier, you were saying, I'm low on

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 1>friends and wanting to be friends with somebody because you

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have anyone else. Is a terrible reason to be

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 1>friends with somebody.

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true.

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a terrible reason being friends with somebody out

0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 1>of scarce. There's eight billion people on the planet Earth.

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Wanting to be friends with somebody because you don't have

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:48.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone else to talk to is a terrible reason. So

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're not wanting to be friends with him

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 1>for that reason. Well, if you love the look, if

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you love this guy and you want to be friends

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 1>with him, that's a different story.

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I say, And you know, very often I hear

0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. Oh, well, you know when you get older,

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 3>it's harder to make friends. And you know that might

0:38:09.040 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 3>be true, that might not.

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 1>No, that's a that's a lie. That's all. It's the

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:16.320
<v Speaker 1>same amount of difficulty to make friends, at least, I believe,

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:19.600
<v Speaker 1>at any age. And I could go into I could

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 1>go into all this stuff, but let's focus on this

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:22.359
<v Speaker 1>one friend that you have.

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I've just never really had any best friends. I haven't.

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, this was a childhood friend. You know, if

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I needed to hang out with someone, it would be them.

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:33.360
<v Speaker 3>I would sleep over at their house like every fucking weekend,

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 3>you know. So it's hard.

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>It's a hard rather okay too. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I keep interrupting you, but I want to hang in

0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on this just real quick. You shouldn't be friends with

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>this person just because you need friends. And you also

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be friends with this person just because you guys

0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 1>used to be friends.

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:49.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, So like, look, i'm asking you. I'm not asking you.

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not asking sixteen year old you. I'm asking you

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>as an adult. Do you want to be friends with

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:02.359
<v Speaker 1>this guy?

0:39:04.400 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I don't think so.

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well then then you don't have to be Yeah.

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Should I talk to him? Should I reach out at

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.359
<v Speaker 3>least and just say, like, because I just feel bad

0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 3>ending of friendship like that, because I haven't really I

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 3>don't know. That's something that kind of lingers. I feel

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 3>like it's like an open wound kind of thing.

0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, should you reach out to him? I mean, yeah, sure?

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Why not?

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.880
<v Speaker 3>M Yeah? Yeah? And I think I mean, I think

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:41.760
<v Speaker 3>I'll be honest, I think I could still be friends

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 3>with them. It's just I need to know what their

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 3>current life is like, because that's the thing. Is the

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 3>only reason I'm still hesitant is because it seems like

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 3>he hasn't tried to fix his life because the only

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:58.800
<v Speaker 3>time that he would reach out to me after getting

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 3>back from jail, if he would like ask, hey, what's up.

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 3>You want to smoke? You want to do some shit?

0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And you know, by the time he got out, I

0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:09.359
<v Speaker 3>was so far past from my days of just like

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, just like smoking and drinking and just like

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:16.919
<v Speaker 3>wandering the streets and shit. Like I'm I'm so far

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 3>past that now. So like just thinking about if that's

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 3>what he expects, you know, I'm not. I'm not for

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:28.839
<v Speaker 3>it in any way. But yeah, so.

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Look, man, if you want to reach out to this guy,

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 1>then then I guess I just what's bothering What's bothering

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>me is like the melodrama behind it, which seems to

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 1>be stemming from and I'm playing for tent therapist here,

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 1>but it seems to be stemming from living in the past, Yeah,

0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and clinging to it and this like scarcity mindset that

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you have towards friends. Yeah, but like look if again,

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>there look some people. Look, there's some folks like I

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have I have friends. I have I have a friend

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that I hung out with very recently who I hadn't

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>spoken to in god like six years or something like that. Well,

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, I love I love them. I love

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that guy, and when we hung out it was great

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and I love him. And you know, that's how a

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of my friendships are. There's a lot of people

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I haven't spoken to in a long time that you know,

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 1>if I saw them, I would look at me and

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I tell them I love them. I really do. And

0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what I feel. And like, look, dude, if you

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:37.680
<v Speaker 1>love this guy and you want to hang out with

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>them and be friends with them, then you know, I

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:46.919
<v Speaker 1>just I'm I'm frustrated right now because I don't you're

0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:50.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't see why you're complicating this so much.

0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I understand, I understand. It's just hard. I think I

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 3>think that it's yeah, I I go. You mean, it's

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 3>it's been a very like should I or should I

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 3>not kind of thing, and I just like way like

0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the pros and cons. But I think if I stop

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:12.799
<v Speaker 3>over complicating it, like you know, I like, like you said,

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I love the guy, you know, uh, and I do

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.879
<v Speaker 3>miss him. It's just uh, I just want to know

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 3>how he's doing in terms of like if he Yeah,

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:25.040
<v Speaker 3>I think you.

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Get it, like, like, yes, so this is the thing

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:29.800
<v Speaker 1>is you're running I guess what's it's you're running around

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in circles here, and it's like and it's like, what,

0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't you're running around in circles around yourself, like

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.719
<v Speaker 1>debating whether or not you should send a text or

0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 1>hang out with a guy. You're not getting married to

0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>this man. Yeah, you know, you're not committing. It's like

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's it's you shouldn't drive yourself so crazy

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.360
<v Speaker 1>debating whether or not to send a dude a text

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 1>or hang out with him once. Yeah, you know, it's

0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a very low amount of commitment.

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I definitely am. I'm sorry.

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Don't be sorry. I hope don't be sorry. I hope

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that this conversation is helping you realize that.

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:15.840
<v Speaker 1>No, I think it's helpful to you. Don't have to

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:16.320
<v Speaker 1>be sorry.

0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's no, it's really grounding, like I think,

0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:23.560
<v Speaker 3>at least for me, and I think other people like

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 3>anxiety and ship will like agree. It's just like these

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:32.240
<v Speaker 3>kinds of relationships we have with people, it's very easy

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:35.839
<v Speaker 3>to kind of fall into this trap of making it

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 3>look and it make it feel like it's way more

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:41.799
<v Speaker 3>to deal with than it really is. Like when I

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 3>could just be straight up with them and just you know,

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 3>just reach out and say something or even just like

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:47.960
<v Speaker 3>get some lunch or some ship.

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like it's look again, I hope, I hope

0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>if if you look, if you come away with anything

0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from from this, with anything, it's that you know, brother,

0:43:59.880 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you you know, you're twenty one, Like, you can go.

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>You can if you really want to, you can go

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 1>make other friends. I hate this. I hate the mindset.

0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:10.960
<v Speaker 1>You should you should rid yourself of this mindset that

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you have to be friends with anybody because there's a

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.840
<v Speaker 1>shortage of people that will be your friend, you know.

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That's Yeah, that's one thing I I I would I'd

0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 1>love to see you not be walking around with in

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 1>your head.

0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, and then and then the other thing is you're

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you're driving yourself crazy. I can I can hear. I

0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 1>can hear in your voice, especially the fact that you

0:44:34.440 --> 0:44:37.479
<v Speaker 1>were like, you know, even the fact that you said

0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:39.479
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't sum this up into two minutes. It's again,

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a decision of whether or not to send it

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to the text or or or hang out with him.

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:49.760
<v Speaker 1>You're you're not debating whether or not to testify against

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:53.919
<v Speaker 1>him in court. Okay, you're not. You're not debated whether

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>or not you want to, you know, go with him

0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to to rob a bank or anything like that. Okay,

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:01.479
<v Speaker 1>this is just whether or not you want to get lunch

0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 1>with a guy or shoot him at next you know.

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:06.919
<v Speaker 1>It's it's not as life and death of a thing

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:10.840
<v Speaker 1>as you're making notes to be, at least from my perspective.

0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Well I'm stupid. Yeah, shit, but that's just what you're

0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:15.920
<v Speaker 1>telling me.

0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And I think I will clarify though with the

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I think I might have kind of worded it wrong.

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:25.040
<v Speaker 3>But I think for me, I have a lot of

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:28.440
<v Speaker 3>friendships that I've known these people since like elementary school,

0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Like like I would say probably like fifty percent of

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:35.880
<v Speaker 3>my friends currently are people that I've known for over

0:45:36.080 --> 0:45:41.040
<v Speaker 3>like ten to fifteen years. So when I lose a

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:44.759
<v Speaker 3>friend like this, it's very hard. And I don't think

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:46.600
<v Speaker 3>it's I'm trying to say that like, oh, well, I

0:45:46.640 --> 0:45:50.279
<v Speaker 3>want more friends. I want friendships that like that, where

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 3>I've just known the person for.

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, by what do you mean by you?

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 1>How did you lose this guy as as a friend?

0:45:57.680 --> 0:45:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So how long has it been since you spoke to him?

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Probably like five years, five, six.

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Years, five or six years.

0:46:04.600 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sorry, my time span might be messy, but it's

0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 3>it's been quite some time since we've like actually like

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:13.520
<v Speaker 3>called and like spoken like voice.

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Give give this, give this a call. It's like it's

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.839
<v Speaker 1>weighing on your mind. It's weighing on your mind so

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 1>heavily it just give him a call. Jeezus, it's not

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a it's not a again, it's this. This is not You're

0:46:30.120 --> 0:46:33.760
<v Speaker 1>not going you're not committing to a marriage with this man. Okay,

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:37.520
<v Speaker 1>If it's weighing on your mind so heavily, then yeah,

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you give him man a call.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:43.799
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, mister Gek. I have something to say though, just

<v Speaker 3>like you know, you say that you're not like smart

0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:49.280

0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:54.759

0:47:49.440 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 1>protection against my sof I can go. I declared that

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I would. I declared that I was stupid. Okay, grants

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.399
<v Speaker 1>me immunity against all the stupid things that I say.

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:03.320
<v Speaker 3>But it's genuinely, I think, at least for me, because

0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually I don't want to take up much more

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:09.279
<v Speaker 3>of your time, but I'm like one, I want to

0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:12.920
<v Speaker 3>become a therapist in the future. Like I just graduated

0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:15.360
<v Speaker 3>community college. I'm about to go to like a university,

0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 3>so you know, it's seeing like I don't know, this

0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 3>is like the most boomer show imaginable. But have you

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:25.399
<v Speaker 3>heard of like Fraser the TV show.

0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Fraser. I've never actually watched an episode like that show.

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 3>It definitely kind of leans too much into like the

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.719
<v Speaker 3>posh humor, like oh we're which we can laugh about

0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:39.319
<v Speaker 3>this kind of stuff. But just in terms of like

0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 3>having a show where you just you talk to people,

0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 3>it's really powerful ship. You don't have to be a psychiatrist,

0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's it works. Some people just need like

0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:49.680
<v Speaker 3>a friend to talk to.

0:48:51.600 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Man. Yeah, absolutely, Man, I'm glad I just asked you

0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>your name.

0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh sorry, my name is Alex.

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:03.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, what were you gonna say, Alex?

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh No, It's just like genuinely it's been really helpful,

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.279
<v Speaker 3>especially like you know, this is this is stuff I've

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:13.280
<v Speaker 3>talked to with actual therapists, and you know, they've been helpful.

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:18.239
<v Speaker 3>But it coming from like a conversation like this, it

0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 3>almost can mean more in my opinion, because it's just like.

0:49:20.960 --> 0:49:23.600
<v Speaker 1>What did tell me? Real quick, what did your real

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>therapist tell you when you told them all this stuff?

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, for me, therapy is very more self focused,

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 3>so it was much more of a like kind of

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.920
<v Speaker 3>wanting to like I think they I mean, at the

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:41.520
<v Speaker 3>end the day, it really seemed like they kind of

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:45.160
<v Speaker 3>took the same approach, like approaching why I want to

0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:48.120
<v Speaker 3>have friends, like why am I? Why am I like

0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:54.200
<v Speaker 3>still feeling sore about this? And for them, I think

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:57.600
<v Speaker 3>in the moment like they maybe we're trying to get

0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:01.360
<v Speaker 3>me more to focus in on finding friend like new friends,

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 3>people that I have more in common with. But they

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:06.920
<v Speaker 3>also didn't really say to like reach out to them,

0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:09.839
<v Speaker 3>because honestly, for right now, I just want to reach

0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:11.960
<v Speaker 3>out and even if I don't fuck with them, like,

0:50:12.120 --> 0:50:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I still want to say like I miss you and

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:16.320
<v Speaker 3>like you know, you are a huge part of my life.

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah.

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Dude, those two things don't drive us. Don't drive yourself

0:50:22.400 --> 0:50:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't drive yourself crazy. And don't walk around thinking

0:50:26.320 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that you have to be friends with anyone because there's

0:50:28.120 --> 0:50:32.399
<v Speaker 1>some star city of friends things. Well, thank you, Alex,

0:50:32.480 --> 0:50:36.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the kind words, and thanks for dealing

0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:41.399
<v Speaker 1>with me yelling at you is the people before we go.

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:45.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what, just make sure you're taking care of

0:50:45.560 --> 0:50:50.480
<v Speaker 3>your mental health and you know, just take steps to

0:50:50.520 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 3>consider it. You know, it doesn't even have to be therapy.

0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Just go outside, take a breather, do something you enjoy,

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.480
<v Speaker 3>find more hobbies. Just take your time, and I just.

0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to add to that. I want to add

0:51:03.160 --> 0:51:05.279
<v Speaker 1>to that. Don't stay up until three o'clock in the

<v Speaker 1>Kind of creative block are we talking here?

0:53:57.320 --> 0:53:57.799
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:53:57.880 --> 0:54:02.040
<v Speaker 4>I got I got all the gear ever wanted. My

0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 4>boss at my workplace, he's got a mastering studio, and

0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I just, oh no, I can't seem to pump out

0:54:11.680 --> 0:54:13.240
<v Speaker 4>tracks or whatnot.

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I have an idea. You know the beat you

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:22.960
<v Speaker 1>know the Beatles. Yeah, why don't you just do that?

0:54:25.560 --> 0:54:31.320
<v Speaker 4>That's a real yeah, I should They they had.

0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:34.399
<v Speaker 1>They were pretty they were pretty successful doing that. Why

0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:35.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't you just do that?

0:54:38.360 --> 0:54:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Yeah, they even had a they even had a

0:54:42.520 --> 0:54:44.399
<v Speaker 4>movie or something they did.

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:47.359
<v Speaker 1>They had, they had a couple of movies. They got

0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:51.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty far doing that. What do you want to what

0:54:51.840 --> 0:54:58.480
<v Speaker 1>what in the past, what have you written songs about?

0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:07.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, just stuff about anxiety and general inner

0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:13.160
<v Speaker 4>brain stuff. But it's also like extreme metal, so you

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 4>can't even really tell what I'm saying other than I

0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:18.000
<v Speaker 4>guess I've made some post punk stuff.

0:55:19.600 --> 0:55:24.400
<v Speaker 1>What what kind of what are you having anxiety about?

0:55:25.840 --> 0:55:30.239
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I just it's sort of like a

0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 4>general anxiety about existing aericon.

0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, existing is crazy. I think you know the thing

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 1>about having anxiety about just existing is I mean, look,

0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I understand that it's painful, but I

0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>totally get it. I would be any people who don't

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have anxiety about existing. I mean, I'm jealous of them

0:55:59.880 --> 0:56:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they have.

0:56:01.239 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I appreciate that.

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 1>This happy, beautiful ignorance. And once you, once you're aware

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that you exist, hard to go back,

0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:21.080
<v Speaker 1>hard to hard to retain your ignorance. I mean, you

0:56:21.080 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 1>could drink a lot, but that's most doctors. I've never

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:27.520
<v Speaker 1>had a doctor recommend that to me.

0:56:28.440 --> 0:56:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Weed's cool.

0:56:31.040 --> 0:56:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, I've never had a doctor recommend that,

0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and which I haven't, but I do know that doctors

0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:41.080
<v Speaker 1>recommended people. It's isn't that funny? There's no medical alcohol, yeah,

0:56:41.200 --> 0:56:46.040
<v Speaker 1>doctors ever alcohol has ever been used for medication, although

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I've heard it does numb pain.

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've heard that.

0:56:52.239 --> 0:56:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, all right, try being the beat All right, you're

0:56:54.800 --> 0:57:00.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the Beatles. You're gonna not do alcohol. Why

0:57:00.560 --> 0:57:03.040
<v Speaker 1>are you anxious about existing? Is that even a question

0:57:03.080 --> 0:57:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that you can answer?

0:57:05.760 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh? I've been trying to answer that for a minute

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:15.560
<v Speaker 4>with philosophy and stuff of that sort, but uh, can't

0:57:15.560 --> 0:57:18.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, I can't really figure it out. Still still

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:22.760
<v Speaker 4>looking figuring it out. Maybe once I once I do

0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:25.600
<v Speaker 4>the Beatles. Maybe maybe they don't know.

0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 1>They seemed like they knew stuff, but I don't know

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>if they I don't know if they really did.

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:32.880
<v Speaker 4>They imagine some stuff.

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>They imagine some stuff. You can imagine. Thing is, you

0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have to know anything, but you can imagine stuff

0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I mean, I guess that's what you're doing.

0:57:40.360 --> 0:57:43.480
<v Speaker 1>You're imagining songs. They didn't exist before, and you imagined

0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:47.040
<v Speaker 1>them and you made them real whatever we whatever real means.

0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:48.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, are you.

0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Afraid of that?

0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:54.720
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate that. Yeah, I go back and forth on that.

0:57:58.720 --> 0:58:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Existence gives you an anxiety. I know again, I know

0:58:01.560 --> 0:58:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I mean, I'm not a therapist of any kind.

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a crazy guy on the internet.

0:58:06.120 --> 0:58:10.480
<v Speaker 4>But now you're get go, right.

0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I forgot. I forgot that I was a get go Hmmm.

0:58:18.880 --> 0:58:20.280
<v Speaker 4>No, I really appreciate all that.

0:58:20.640 --> 0:58:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel like I feel like a lot of

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the time when you're anxious about existing, that's why if

0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you're afraid of death, because I feel like a lot

0:58:30.000 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of the anxiety about existing is there's a well, there's

0:58:34.400 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a there's a lot of things that could make you

0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:40.480
<v Speaker 1>anxious about existing. There's Uh, Okay, I exist. There's there's Okay,

0:58:40.520 --> 0:58:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I exist, and I know I'm gonna die at some

0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:47.520
<v Speaker 1>point and maybe I kind of come to terms with that,

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:51.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'm anxious about what the hell to do in

0:58:51.680 --> 0:58:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the meantime.

0:58:53.920 --> 0:58:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Like I'm not trying to speed around it, but

0:58:56.400 --> 0:58:58.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to, you know, get all the achievements I want.

0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So are you anxious about not being able to

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:03.600
<v Speaker 1>get all the achievements you want?

0:59:05.320 --> 0:59:08.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh? Not really, Like I don't have to be like

0:59:08.640 --> 0:59:13.680
<v Speaker 4>David Bowie or anything, but yeah, just it would be

0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.840
<v Speaker 4>nice to be a little more productive.

0:59:20.640 --> 0:59:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. What do you do when you're not being productive?

0:59:28.400 --> 0:59:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Uh? Substances?

0:59:32.720 --> 0:59:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Uh is that where the weed comes in?

0:59:38.040 --> 0:59:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:59:41.400 --> 0:59:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. I'll tell you this from my own life.

0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I kind of struggled with what you're talking about for

0:59:50.280 --> 0:59:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a long time of uh feeling like I always needed

0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to be productive and I always needed to be making

0:59:58.520 --> 1:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and doing things. And I don't know if my

1:00:03.960 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, my ambition has gotten me to places

1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that have been really beautiful, but also it's it's been

1:00:12.200 --> 1:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a been a sense of tormentation as well.

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 4>So word, Yeah.

1:00:19.760 --> 1:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>It's been a tormenting thing, and I don't think it's

1:00:22.520 --> 1:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>worth tormenting yourself over you know. I mean there's lots

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of there's a lot of things that make life worth

1:00:32.800 --> 1:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>living that have nothing to do with making anything, you know.

1:00:36.840 --> 1:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, going for a freaking walk outside is is everything?

1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:45.800
<v Speaker 4>Uh? You know? So, yeah, I hear that.

1:00:46.800 --> 1:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'll I guess if I could tell you from

1:00:50.960 --> 1:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>someone who's had the had the pressure for a long

1:00:55.280 --> 1:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>for you know, a while, probably for a long time. Uh,

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not as integral to existence as maybe

1:01:12.280 --> 1:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>your brain is tricking you that it is.

1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Okay, maybe I'm put putting it on this pedestal

1:01:19.720 --> 1:01:23.720
<v Speaker 4>sorts the the job, I guess.
