Speaker 4: did the tico not tiktoku, tender and shit and didn't
Speaker 4: work out.
Speaker 5: But go on, ask your questions.
Speaker 3: So you were trying, I mean you were trying to
Speaker 3: spice up the marriage before the marriage even happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. I was dating her because I was
Speaker 4: She was not the kind of person that was right
Speaker 4: for me. She was more for Uh you ever like
Speaker 4: live for live your life for other people. You ever
Speaker 4: seen people do that?
Speaker 3: Sure? Sure you felt some sort of pressure to be
Speaker 3: in a relationship.
Speaker 4: Pressure to be in a certain type of relationship, to
Speaker 4: feel like the image of what a relationship should be
Speaker 4: in some people's eyes.
Speaker 3: Interesting, And what was it about this person that you
Speaker 3: felt fulfilled that image?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: My father once told me, if you're going to get
Speaker 4: with anyone, get with it's more complicated than that, but
Speaker 4: it's more or less like get with someone with blonde
Speaker 4: hair and big tips.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so like that's what.
Speaker 4: I thought was supposed to do, but I didn't want to.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 3: So who knew? So your current wife who met her first?
Speaker 3: Between you and your ex fiance?
Speaker 4: So I met her and we because we both shared
Speaker 4: a mutual friend. At the time, we were walking or
Speaker 4: I was walking down the road to hang my way
Speaker 4: to college because I lived off campus on the time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I'm walking and as we're going, I all of
Speaker 4: a sudden I hear one I hear someone shout out
Speaker 4: what I thought was calling me the f slur because
Speaker 4: I live in that kind of area where that thing
Speaker 4: is normal. But it turned out that was just my friend.
Speaker 4: So I go over hop in the car and she
Speaker 4: my is driving at the time. Me and her end
Speaker 4: up getting the talking and at the time, she's like
Speaker 4: in a relationship of her own, long distance wise, so
Speaker 4: she was off like you know, it started out platonically,
Speaker 4: I swear to God, GEK, Now, how.
Speaker 3: Did your ex fiance react when you eventually left her
Speaker 3: to be with this current?
Speaker 2: Well, what happened.
Speaker 4: What happened is I I almost I try to kill
Speaker 4: myself one night, I try to drown myself in the bathtub.
Speaker 4: And mainly because like the marriage or the engagement was
Speaker 4: going south and I was realizing I was. I just
Speaker 4: got on like this new prescription I forget what was
Speaker 4: at the time was for depression and whenever, like I
Speaker 4: got on that and I started therapy, like my eyes
Speaker 4: were just wide open, and it's just like I I
Speaker 4: need to something's wrong in my life and something doesn't
Speaker 4: make sense, and I try to communicate that to my
Speaker 4: life my fiance at the time, and she didn't understand that.
Speaker 4: Like she first of all, she was against me, like
Speaker 4: getting the medication the first place, because she didn't want
Speaker 4: things to change. And then over time I've kind of
Speaker 4: like noticed that as I'm realizing that I have not
Speaker 4: a connection with my fiance, I have this strong relationship
Speaker 4: with this person who was again we at the time,
Speaker 4: we were platonic and then sex sex gone involved, like
Speaker 4: wife and fiance and me. At the time, we were
Speaker 4: like yeah, sure because that was on you know, all
Speaker 4: of our bucket lists, was you know, three someome. I mean,
Speaker 4: who who is it who doesn't have a threeesome on
Speaker 4: their bucket list?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: So, now in your car, in relationship with your current
Speaker 3: and she's your wife, you're married to her?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
Speaker 4: We are very much married and very.
Speaker 3: Much fully Is it fully closed or would you ever
Speaker 3: consider trying polyamory again?
Speaker 4: Oh, we actually in a PolyAm as a relationship. My
Speaker 4: wife and I live, we live with her boyfriend interesting.
Speaker 3: Do you like him?
Speaker 8: I love him.
Speaker 5: He's really cool. He's a really good guy.
Speaker 4: They met a while ago, about a year ago, when
Speaker 4: she was doing like her only fans and stuff, and
Speaker 4: you know, they got to talking and the relationship bloomed.
Speaker 4: And I'm the kind of person My whole belief is, like,
Speaker 4: I think it's selfish for me as an individual to
Speaker 4: think that I can satisfy the needs of another individual,
Speaker 4: like another ego being. So I kind of like and like, look,
Speaker 4: if if you want more out of like, don't let
Speaker 4: me hold you back, right, So, Like, but you know,
Speaker 4: I I feel like she kind of like, uh, she
Speaker 4: wants she wants to keep me around for some reason.
Speaker 4: So I guess I'm doing something right.
Speaker 3: I mean that to me, screams. I mean that that's
Speaker 3: a true sort of love for someone when you want
Speaker 3: them to be happy, even if it means that you're
Speaker 3: not involved in every aspect of the happiness.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Like, I learned from an early age that like,
Speaker 4: love doesn't have to be what a mainstream idea is.
Speaker 4: Does that make sense?
Speaker 3: M Are you dating anyone else?
Speaker 4: I'm currently single. I'm not really looking for a relationship
Speaker 4: right now. I'm kind of happy where I'm at. I
Speaker 4: talk to people, but I have really really bad social
Speaker 4: anxiety sociophobia, so getting out on the scene like this
Speaker 4: is actually new to me. I'm only doing this because
Speaker 4: I'm stowing his balls right now?
Speaker 3: Fair enough? Yeah, I remember, are you? You came and
Speaker 3: you said you didn't want to talk about this? Is
Speaker 3: there anything real quick you wanted to talk about?
Speaker 4: I really wanted to talk to you about the time
Speaker 4: I ate garbage because you that's like when I first
Speaker 4: started to call it.
Speaker 2: He was talking about like I think last week or
Speaker 2: a few weeks.
Speaker 4: I okay, okay, So long story short. I was trapped
Speaker 4: because I have really shitty terence in my college town
Speaker 4: because they were arguing with my sister and it was
Speaker 4: during winter break and I couldn't go home, right I
Speaker 4: had no money. It was my freshman year, so I'm
Speaker 4: stuck in this town. I haven't had anything to eat
Speaker 4: for like four days because it's win or break. The
Speaker 4: cafeteria's closed, I have no money. I see a Jimmy
Speaker 4: Joe on sandwich in the garbage, and to this day,
Speaker 4: bootleggers are my favorite because of that.
Speaker 2: M hmm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, I respect that you're living your
Speaker 3: life exactly the way you want to live it.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Gek, I appreciate that.
Speaker 8: Norik.
Speaker 3: Take it for sharing. Rick, You have a good rest.
Speaker 4: Of the night, you too, Gek take it easy.
Speaker 3: Ten out of ten.
Speaker 9: Call never goes on the line, taking your calls every night,
Speaker 9: never goes. He's teaching you your.
Speaker 1: Life all from Ashley Ashley.
Speaker 10: Hello, Ashley, Hi, Greg.
Speaker 3: Mary Kate and Ashley.
Speaker 10: Yeah that's me.
Speaker 3: I always thought Mary, Kate and Ashley were three different people.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean Mary, multiple personal I guess.
Speaker 3: And Ashley, how many different people are you?
Speaker 7: How many different people? I guess it depends on the day.
Speaker 3: How many different people are you today?
Speaker 7: How many different people? Let's see, Well, I'm the nice
Speaker 7: person at work and they want to get home. I'm
Speaker 7: the introvert and I don't like talk anybody. So I
Speaker 7: guess that's a different thing from two different people.
Speaker 3: So you like talking to people at work, but not
Speaker 3: when you get at home, not when you get back home.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, called ambivert you No, I've never heard that.
Speaker 3: It's a great to. When I found out about it,
Speaker 3: I was like, that is a beautiful term. I mean,
Speaker 3: I hate labels in general. But if I had to pick,
Speaker 3: when I choose that and ambivert. You're familiar with the
Speaker 3: phrase ambi dextrous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so like left and right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, left and right. Ambiverts someone who embodies the qualities
Speaker 3: of both an extrovert and an introvert. And you know, situationally,
Speaker 3: I never liked the binary system of extroverts and introverts anyway.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's it's it's it's too it's too binary.
Speaker 3: It's it's I mean, it's a whole spectrum here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never heard that. That's actually pretty pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Listen, Ashley, I have a question for you. Yes, how
Speaker 3: have you ever lied?
Speaker 7: Unfortunately? Too many times?
Speaker 3: Yes, too many times? Tell me what was what was
Speaker 3: the too many a time?
Speaker 7: I think I lie like a lot more at work.
Speaker 7: Uh and for some reason, like I keep getting away
Speaker 7: with it, probably because I.
Speaker 3: Well, like, well, I was.
Speaker 7: Talking actually about this the other day. Like I used
Speaker 7: to work at a seafood restaurant, and the restaurants if
Speaker 7: any food that was left over at night, they would
Speaker 7: uh let the employees take it home. So I would
Speaker 7: like put in fake orders just so I could take
Speaker 7: food home to my parents.
Speaker 3: That's smart.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, and they never questioned it. I just would
Speaker 7: always no, I never got caught. I would just always
Speaker 7: bring food home.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that suspicious when consistently the same person would keep
Speaker 3: ordering food and not picking it up.
Speaker 7: Well, I always put different names on it and like
Speaker 7: different kinds of food.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that is interesting.
Speaker 7: And sometimes like you order like an lit extra more
Speaker 7: so then you don't take everything the minute. And I
Speaker 7: started to feel a little bad, but then I got
Speaker 7: held up at gun point there, so then I didn't
Speaker 7: feel bad because like the owner didn't feel bad about
Speaker 7: me getting held up and told me to go back
Speaker 7: to work, so I didn't really feel bad about it anymore.
Speaker 3: You got a held up at gun point?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: And what was that like?
Speaker 7: I mean, it was scary, but at the same time,
Speaker 7: it was like, this isn't really my money. So I
Speaker 7: kind of just opened the register and backed up and
Speaker 7: he grabbed it. And then he was like, I just
Speaker 7: want you to know that I love you, and I
Speaker 7: was like, I don't.
Speaker 12: Know who you are, but okay.
Speaker 3: He told you if he loved you.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 7: He was like like I hope He's like, do you
Speaker 7: love your family? I was like yeah, and He's like, well,
Speaker 7: I love you, and then he like left with the
Speaker 7: money from the register.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, which he had.
Speaker 7: Been smarter, he would have gotten no money from the
Speaker 7: drawer because there was a lot more in there.
Speaker 3: How did he how did he say it? Did he
Speaker 3: look you in the eyes?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 7: He like turned around as he was leaving, like right
Speaker 7: at the door, and like I was terrified because I
Speaker 7: was like seventeen at the time, and he's just like
Speaker 7: he said that about my family. He's like, I want
Speaker 7: you to know that I love you, and then left.
Speaker 3: Do you believe him? Do you think he really loved it?
Speaker 3: Do you think he meant it was?
Speaker 10: I don't think he did.
Speaker 13: I mean, maybe he just felt guilty because he.
Speaker 7: Was like robbing a teenager. So I don't know. But
Speaker 7: he's in jail now.
Speaker 3: So, Hm, why do you think he told you he
Speaker 3: loved you? He felt guilty?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I think that he probably felt guilty, But also he
Speaker 7: may have been like on a love and drugs because
Speaker 7: he kind of looked like that.
Speaker 2: M So maybe he did love me.
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe he saw me and fell him on the
Speaker 7: first sight or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know he did, do you, I mean, do
Speaker 3: you believe in love and first sight.
Speaker 7: I think I used to, but then, like I was
Speaker 7: listening earlier, like how some uh you asked somebody a
Speaker 7: question or it was like either were talking about like
Speaker 7: if you love somebody for four months and then you
Speaker 7: don't love them anymore. And I believe that's like in
Speaker 7: the moment thing. But as like I'm getting older, you know,
Speaker 7: like it's like you you honestly like put all your
Speaker 7: faith into love, you know, and then but I understand
Speaker 7: the same time where it's coming from.
Speaker 3: See, that's the thing is love. It's very emotionally driven,
Speaker 3: and emotions are are so volatile. They're up and they're down,
Speaker 3: and they're left and they're right. It's the it's not
Speaker 3: a very uh sound place to put all your eggs.
Speaker 3: So you know exactly, you can love someone in the
Speaker 3: heat of the moment and then after that moment is
Speaker 3: over and not love them anymore.
Speaker 7: Yeah, which is unfortunate, but I mean it's just life.
Speaker 3: Do you think that if he saw you again, that
Speaker 3: guy would still say that he loves you.
Speaker 7: Actually, his lawyer like reached out like a year ago because.
Speaker 10: He's in prison.
Speaker 7: No, but he did want like to write me a
Speaker 7: letter to apologize.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, really he wanted to write you a letter
Speaker 3: to apologize. Yeah, like he'd get your permission to get
Speaker 3: the letter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I didn't. I didn't respond to it
Speaker 7: because that was like ten years ago at this point.
Speaker 3: So interesting that ten years later he still wanted to apologize,
Speaker 3: So he probably he probably did love you. I mean
Speaker 3: he was probably thinking about you all ten of those years.
Speaker 3: I'm definitely, definitely extremely weird. I would actually say, but
Speaker 3: you know, well, listen, thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you were answering my call. I was
Speaker 7: like I called like eighty nine times.
Speaker 3: Eighty ninth the charm baby.
Speaker 7: Yep, it's the charm.
Speaker 10: I remember that.
Speaker 7: I hope you have a good night.
Speaker 3: Gek you too, Ashley, have a good night.
Speaker 1: Call from Alex.
Speaker 2: Alex, Hey, do my fucking god, what's up?
Speaker 3: How? What's up?
Speaker 4: Dude?
Speaker 2: I have been trying to call you for ages?
Speaker 1: How?
Speaker 3: How how many ages?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Probably like four months?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: What technologies have evolved?
Speaker 14: Oh man, I was I would using the facts machine
Speaker 14: when I started.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I got a cell phone now? And how
Speaker 3: do you feel about this technological transition? Are you prepared
Speaker 3: or do you feel as though the world is moving
Speaker 3: too fast for you to keep up.
Speaker 5: I mean, isn't it always?
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm just I'm just sitting here calling hundreds
Speaker 14: of times, and then I was expecting a hello, and
Speaker 14: then you just yelled out, Alex, and it was just
Speaker 14: the craziest thing. So you know, you're never really ready,
Speaker 14: but it's definitely definitely there.
Speaker 3: Do you feel ready?
Speaker 5: I guess I do.
Speaker 3: Feel feel ready for this.
Speaker 14: I feel ready to be on on the call.
Speaker 3: That was the wrong answer. There's the wrong answer, Alex.
Speaker 3: You should Actually the fact that you're ready implies to
Speaker 3: me that you're prepared in some way, and for you
Speaker 3: to prepare implies that you had some sort of expectation
Speaker 3: of what this experience would be like. And for you
Speaker 3: to have some sort of expectation of what this experience
Speaker 3: would be like only sets you up for failure in
Speaker 3: the event that your expectations are not matched by reality.
Speaker 5: You know, that's that's a great point.
Speaker 4: But I think I'll have to humbly disagree with you.
Speaker 14: I think, just for the sheer amount of times that
Speaker 14: I've called, I think would be irresponsible for me not
Speaker 14: to have been ready.
Speaker 3: You know what, I think that's reasonable, alex clusive, I
Speaker 3: have a question for you, alex Yes, have you ever lied?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 14: Fucking I just did?
Speaker 3: So many just did? How did you just lie? In
Speaker 3: what I was ready and you're not ready?
Speaker 14: I mean, like I said before, that are we ever
Speaker 14: really ready? I also said that I was using a
Speaker 14: fax machine. That's obviously not true.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess that wasn't true. Well, I mean
Speaker 3: there's a difference between. I think there's a difference between
Speaker 3: an intentional lie, right, and a confident exclamation prediction. Maybe that,
Speaker 3: when put through the test, yeah, proves false. So yes,
Speaker 3: if you say I'm ready, you may in that moment
Speaker 3: feel as though you are ready and then fail and
Speaker 3: then it turns out that you're not ready. Did you lie?
Speaker 3: I mean you believed that you were ready. When you
Speaker 3: say that you're ready, I mean I interpret it as
Speaker 3: you saying I believe that I'm ready, and it is
Speaker 3: true that you believed it, and that's the stand that
Speaker 3: you were making.
Speaker 8: That's a great point.
Speaker 2: But if I tell a girl.
Speaker 14: I love her, and then four months later I don't
Speaker 14: love her anymore, I think she would say to me,
Speaker 14: you bastard, you lied to me.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think of that. I don't know if
Speaker 3: I don't think of that's a lie because well, in
Speaker 3: the moment that you told that girl that you loved her,
Speaker 3: did you mean it when you said it?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, So if you meant it when you said it,
Speaker 3: it was true in the moment, but then four months
Speaker 3: later if it no, something can be true at one
Speaker 3: point and then not be true later. Yeah, Like, how
Speaker 3: old are you?
Speaker 2: I'm eighteen?
Speaker 14: Nineteen?
Speaker 3: In a month, you're eighteen? Okay, I honestly thought you
Speaker 3: were in your thirties. You sound very old.
Speaker 14: Oh my, everyone says I look older too. I'm taul
Speaker 14: and I don't know. I don't get it though.
Speaker 3: But look a year from now, when you're nineteen, is
Speaker 3: are did you lie? You said you were eighteen? Okay,
Speaker 3: you're nineteen a month. In a month, you but you
Speaker 3: told me that you're eighteen. So in a month, will
Speaker 3: you have lied?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: Because things change.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point and I didn't really think
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 3: Well, how do you feel about this conversation?
Speaker 5: I think this is a good conversation. I think that
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 14: I'm sure there's more to be had, but from what
Speaker 14: has happened new it was definitely a good conversation.
Speaker 3: Beautiful. Well, listen, thank you so much for calling, Alex.
Speaker 3: I hope that this lives up to your expectations.
Speaker 14: Of course, well nothing ever does. So you have a
Speaker 14: good one you too.
Speaker 1: Aw from Lucas.
Speaker 8: Lucas, Yo, Geck, what's up man?
Speaker 3: How are you doing? Lucas?
Speaker 5: You know I'm doing all right? Thank you?

Speaker 8: lizard suit talk to other human beings and.
Speaker 3: Is nice work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I'm currently I'm kind of third wheeling it. Essentially,
Speaker 8: what I'm doing is I lived with my best friend
Speaker 8: since middle school and his longtime girlfriend. I went to
Speaker 8: college to with him, and I I know he's grow
Speaker 8: uping very well as well. So they have like a house,
Speaker 8: they own a house.
Speaker 4: And they have like this upstairs apartment area and I
Speaker 4: basically have it all myself.
Speaker 8: So I'm thriving. I moved in like a month ago.
Speaker 3: How are you paying the rent?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so basically played them a flat. I'm not a
Speaker 8: rent each month, no least or anything.
Speaker 3: Oh you know your boy exactly.

Speaker 8: like rent in the Venmo description. Here you go, pal, and.
Speaker 3: That's how how much is for rent?
Speaker 8: Seven and fifty a months, which in so I'm in Massachusetts,
Speaker 8: so it's not too bad. And oh hell yeah, it's
Speaker 8: like a yeah, it's like I get a whole area
Speaker 8: to myself and like, you know, I'm thriving essentially.
Speaker 3: So I mean, now is it what is the dynamic?
Speaker 3: Like is it odd living with because it's like, I mean,
Speaker 3: this is almost like a sitcom in a way, like
Speaker 3: they have their their picturesque life, they're in love, they
Speaker 3: have a house, and then they've but they've also got
Speaker 3: you living in their attic.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I can see it already, like a sitcom
Speaker 8: and CBS like and then like this happy loving couple,
Speaker 8: then this weird roommate moved in. But no, and also
Speaker 8: do you.
Speaker 3: Do be honest, do you consider yourself to be like
Speaker 3: a weird guy? Are you a strange person?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: God no, I'm very comfortable with who I am I'm
Speaker 8: twenty four years old. I'm happy where I am. I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm really ever since you know, I graduated college and stuff,
Speaker 8: I really like learned to be myself. So I'm really
Speaker 8: not I don't consider myself a weird guy. I mean,
Speaker 8: I have that social anxiety of oh man, I considered
Speaker 8: a weird guy to these people, but especially like those
Speaker 8: the situations at work or in like uh bars or
Speaker 8: stuff like that.
Speaker 5: But I'm really focused on this.
Speaker 8: Being myself and just I'm going with the flow.
Speaker 3: But you know, does it ever get weird living with
Speaker 3: the couple. They're trying to do a couple of things
Speaker 3: and you're just there.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 8: We have you know, that's a good question.
Speaker 12: You know, we just we just you know.
Speaker 8: I've known them for the longest time now, so we
Speaker 8: have the dynamic where.
Speaker 2: We're all friends.
Speaker 8: Essentially, we all just shoot the ship. We all work
Speaker 8: nine to five jobs during the week, so we when
Speaker 8: we all get home, we just shoot the ship, you know,
Speaker 8: and then we do our own things. We have our
Speaker 8: own areas. They have their private there their private areas,
Speaker 8: and I have my own space. It's a great dynamics.
Speaker 8: I'm really fortunate in that way. You know a lot
Speaker 8: of folks, you know, they have the you know, they
Speaker 8: hate their landlords, they have shitty living situations. But I
Speaker 8: really looked out so.
Speaker 3: Well, that's awesome. I know Alex was the last guy
Speaker 3: to Lucas. That's awesome, Lucas, Lucas real QUI tell me,
Speaker 3: I got a question for you, Lucas, just real quick.
Speaker 3: Have you ever lied?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 2: Good question?
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 8: You'll I feel like everyone does to some extent. I
Speaker 8: know that's the question of the evening because but I'm
Speaker 8: really I'm really unprepared.

Speaker 12: What is your question?
Speaker 3: Have you ever lied?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 12: Not very successfully though.
Speaker 3: Successfully.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I have a bad habit of smiling when I
Speaker 15: lie or laughing.
Speaker 3: Tell me about this time in which you lied unsuccessfully.
Speaker 15: You know the classic Uh, it's not you, it's not me,
Speaker 15: it's you.
Speaker 12: Of course, it's not you, it's me. M.
Speaker 3: So you were trying to lie about the way you felt.
Speaker 12: Yeah, haven't you.
Speaker 3: Well, there's lots of different categories of lying. There's lying
Speaker 3: about events, whether or not they happened. There's lying about feelings,
Speaker 3: whether or not they are true. And I feel like feelings.
Speaker 3: It's harder to get caught lying about your feelings.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 15: Well, I don't like other people feeling like shit.
Speaker 12: So I'm like, you know what, it's all me, it's me,
Speaker 12: it's not you.
Speaker 3: Now, who did you tell this to? Who did you
Speaker 3: tell that it was them and not you when in
Speaker 3: reality it was indeed them?
Speaker 12: Oh? Real people have dated?
Speaker 3: Now the last person you dated? What was it about
Speaker 3: them that made you break up with them?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 12: They were just like there were?
Speaker 15: Did it treat me how I wanted to be treated?
Speaker 15: Did it make me feel how I wanted to be felt,
Speaker 15: How how I wanted to feel?
Speaker 3: How do you want to be treated?
Speaker 15: I don't know, like you want to be the apple
Speaker 15: if someone dying, Right, so you.
Speaker 12: Don't want to like looking at other people?
Speaker 3: Or well, how can how can someone? How can someone
Speaker 3: treat you the way you want to be treated? If
Speaker 3: you don't even know how you want to be treated?
Speaker 12: Damn?
Speaker 13: Okay, then.
Speaker 5: You're right, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean? Look, I mean it sounds like you have
Speaker 3: an idea of how you do not want to be treated,
Speaker 3: which is similar Uh.
Speaker 1: Huh the silence.
Speaker 3: You want to be apple of someone's eye?
Speaker 10: Yeah, don't you?
Speaker 12: Doesn't everyone?
Speaker 13: Not?
Speaker 3: Really? I don't like the idea of being like revered
Speaker 3: by like one person. It seems like a lot.
Speaker 15: So would you want to be like I heard the
Speaker 15: call earlier? Would you want to be like in a
Speaker 15: Poli relationship so you can get all the all different people?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure to be honest, Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like I have a friend who like uh. I remember
Speaker 3: one time I saw one of my friends like his
Speaker 3: girlfriend made an Instagram post about him and and she
Speaker 3: was like, and she was like, David is the most
Speaker 3: My friend's name is David, who was like David, I'm
Speaker 3: madly in love with him. He is my entire life,
Speaker 3: the best human being I've ever met in my entire life,
Speaker 3: and I remember saying to him like that, that's a
Speaker 3: lot of pressure right there, to be that for someone.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to be that for someone,
Speaker 3: that's a lot. That's a lot of pressure there. I
Speaker 3: don't I don't know. If I want to be the
Speaker 3: apple of someone's eye. I will gladly be. I will
Speaker 3: gladly be a welcome, respected, appreciated part of an entire life.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if I want to be an
Speaker 3: entire life.
Speaker 15: I got you, you just want to be a part
Speaker 15: of it, not an entire not an entirety.
Speaker 3: I mean, is that not how you feel? How do
Speaker 3: you feel you want to be someone's every you want
Speaker 3: to be?
Speaker 15: Well, I'm not trying to like you know, obsessed or
Speaker 15: so you know what I mean, who knows, you know,
Speaker 15: there's you would that's like the far far extreme. You know,
Speaker 15: you just want someone to not you know, look at
Speaker 15: other people, or will not necessarily look at other people,
Speaker 15: but talk about other people, like you know, cheating. I
Speaker 15: guess it's so prevalent with like social media.
Speaker 3: You want so you want someone who won't cheat on you?
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, well I think everyone wants that unless you're like,
Speaker 15: because that's.
Speaker 3: That's the bare minimum.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that is the bare minimum.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I mean I'm glad that you've defined that.
Speaker 3: That's a good thing to know that you want.
Speaker 10: Yeah, very true.
Speaker 3: I hope you find that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that's a very like low requirement.
Speaker 3: You know, you're in luck. No, you said that's shitty
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 15: Well, if you can't meet that requirement, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 15: that's shitty.
Speaker 3: No, I was gonna say. I mean, I think what's
Speaker 3: your name again, Katie? Katie? You're actually in luck because
Speaker 3: you seem to have low standards, which is great. Don't
Speaker 3: take that as a bad it's a good I swear
Speaker 3: to God being you know, I'll meet that serious. It's
Speaker 3: a good thing. It's a good thing to have low standards.
Speaker 3: Because it's not it's becomes easier to make you happy.
Speaker 15: I guess we can agree to disagree. I mean, that
Speaker 15: makes you sound so terrible.
Speaker 3: Why does that make you that? Why what do you
Speaker 3: mean why does that make you sound terrible?
Speaker 15: Because I'm like, loast it like any anyone can make me.
Speaker 3: Isn't that a good thing that anyone can make you happy?
Speaker 3: You know what I'd be worried for Katie. I'd be
Speaker 3: worried for you if you had high standards.
Speaker 15: Very true.
Speaker 12: That makes it way harder to meet someone.
Speaker 3: Makes it way harder to meet. So I haven't look
Speaker 3: low standards a good thing.
Speaker 12: But well, oh I have something.
Speaker 15: I have met someone, but I'm gonna go and beat them.
Speaker 13: In two days.
Speaker 3: I'm fantastic. Hope they don't cheat on.
Speaker 15: You, that's what not.

Speaker 10: Mackenzie, Hi, how's it going?
Speaker 3: You know? Honestly, McKenzie, I'm doing pretty okay. I'm trying
Speaker 3: to live life.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 3: Look, life is it's an intense experience, McKenzie, and I
Speaker 3: feel like it's created with an appropriate reaction of intensity.
Speaker 10: That's that's a good point. I agree there.
Speaker 3: I mean all the emotions, Mackenzie. I mean life inspires joy,
Speaker 3: it inspires grief, it inspires uh, excitement, nervousness, and I
Speaker 3: just want to reciprocate all of these incitements with the
Speaker 3: purest It's the most intense version of all those feelings.
Speaker 10: I really no idea how to respond to that, but I.
Speaker 3: Support you, Thank you, McKenzie. Look, Mackenzie, what are you
Speaker 3: doing right now?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 10: I'm just chilling trying to get my phone call through
Speaker 10: to you.
Speaker 5: I think I think it was please please?
Speaker 3: Do you think?
Speaker 10: I think it was like one hundred and sixty nine,
Speaker 10: So it's it's kind of a good number sixty.
Speaker 3: Nine, baby, Kenzie, What are you doing right now? I
Speaker 3: already asked you that. I didn't.
Speaker 10: I you did.
Speaker 3: I asked you that just now.
Speaker 10: I'm chilling with my cat watching your stream.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I asked you know what, Mackenzie. I
Speaker 3: like that. I asked you that question twice and you
Speaker 3: went ahead and you answered it twice. And that's how
Speaker 3: I know I can trust you. McKenzie.
Speaker 10: That's a good point. Yeah, I'm a go getter. I'm
Speaker 10: a yes man.
Speaker 3: You're a go getter, yes man. How do you feel
Speaker 3: about that? Do you enjoy being a well a go
Speaker 3: get a ready yes man or two different things of it?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I think I lied a little bit about the go gether.
Speaker 3: Okay, now that we have a little bit of time
Speaker 3: to sort of think, I know that they started off
Speaker 3: a little intense and that's one hundred percent of my fault. Okay,
Speaker 3: now that we have the time to think, do you
Speaker 3: truly believe that you are a yes ma'am?
Speaker 10: I no, because I just said no, so I suppose not.
Speaker 10: I'm pretty close though. I think I do a pretty
Speaker 10: good job about it. Though it's a spectrum.
Speaker 3: I'll say it's a spectrum.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 10: So you're a maybe man man, Yeah, Mac The baby man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you a go gether?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 10: Absolutely not. I'm not, which is which you know is
Speaker 10: why I called?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so you called because you're not a gogeter
Speaker 3: and plea. I would love to hear more about what
Speaker 3: you why you called?
Speaker 10: Okay, okay. So my most recent issue, I have no
Speaker 10: idea what to do with my life. I'm twenty four,
Speaker 10: I just turned twenty four. I've got an associates in English,
Speaker 10: which does fuck all? So I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 10: what to do.
Speaker 3: Give an associates in English? Such fuck all? Well, I mean, okay,
Speaker 3: when you set out to get this associates in English,
Speaker 3: you must have done it for some reason.
Speaker 10: Well, the funny part is it's about one class away
Speaker 10: from being an associates in biology. So it doesn't say
Speaker 10: a lot that I am an associates in English.
Speaker 3: Well what does it say for you to have an
Speaker 3: associate biology associates in biology?
Speaker 10: Well, I really wanted to work in being a wildlife
Speaker 10: rehab but they make no money. You can't help the
Speaker 10: get gos for a living.
Speaker 3: So because your Biology degree wasn't going to make you
Speaker 3: a lot of money, you and instead switched to an
Speaker 3: English degree.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Hey, there's a reason I'm calling you.
Speaker 3: Okay, well again, you you picked these things for a reason,
Speaker 3: and I've gotta I gotta believe that there's more than
Speaker 3: money at stake here. I mean, you must enjoy the
Speaker 3: idea of being in wildlife rehab.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 10: Well, it seems like every job that I pick out,
Speaker 10: somebody advises me against it, or I look up and
Speaker 10: they just do not make money. I think my career
Speaker 10: goals are a little bit too empathetic, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, these people advising you against it? For what
Speaker 3: reason are they advising you against it? Is it just
Speaker 3: the money thing.
Speaker 10: I've talked to a lot of teachers, and a lot
Speaker 10: of teachers say absolutely not, do.
Speaker 8: Not do it.
Speaker 10: So, and they have a lot of different reasons. A
Speaker 10: lot of it's to do with administration. Administrators. They really
Speaker 10: don't like who they work under, which I suppose means
Speaker 10: you know, to find the right school, but uh, money,
Speaker 10: administration kind of the way that the job works, stuff
Speaker 10: like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, how much money do you think you need
Speaker 3: to live?
Speaker 12: Not a lot.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm pretty uh, I'm pretty low maintenance, honestly.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, then I guess in that case, it should
Speaker 3: matter with you if you don't make as much money
Speaker 3: as someone else, as long as you're doing something you enjoy.
Speaker 10: Doing, right, I want some sort of disposable income to
Speaker 10: do it, and I also want to be sure that,
Speaker 10: like I feel like I'm doing something I really want
Speaker 10: to like my job. I'm somebody that refuses to hate
Speaker 10: a third of their life. So I think that's why
Speaker 10: I'm so obsessive over it.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's extremely important. I agree with you
Speaker 3: on the obsession. I think it's a good thing to
Speaker 3: be obsessed about. But why do you want I mean
Speaker 3: you said you want disposable income? I mean how much?
Speaker 3: I mean when they say no money, Like, what does
Speaker 3: that really mean?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: How much? How much money? How much money? Like is
Speaker 3: there is there is there a number that you could give,
Speaker 3: like how much money you could you make? And why
Speaker 3: life rehab.
Speaker 10: I think wildlife rehabits in the twenty grands, Like it's low.
Speaker 3: That is actually but yeah, where you live.
Speaker 10: Illinois, Southern Illinois.
Speaker 3: Could you theoretically eat food and live in a house
Speaker 3: for that amount of money?
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I don't know if it's worth it, you.
Speaker 3: Know, Okay, So what are you what do you think
Speaker 3: you suppose I.
Speaker 10: Could go really primal and just to live amongst them
Speaker 10: and then take care of them.
Speaker 3: I mean that's I mean, that's barely a living wage.
Speaker 3: I don't even think there's no way it's even legal
Speaker 3: to pay like that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well it's because you know, people, it's all based
Speaker 10: mostly based off of charity. They run like a lot
Speaker 10: of them, I know, run them out of their homes basically,
Speaker 10: and just try to fundraise because unless you go into
Speaker 10: like a government job, which was also an option of biology,
Speaker 10: you don't get paid well.
Speaker 3: So being a wildlife rehability is that off the table?
Speaker 3: Have you decided that I'm not doing that, I gotta
Speaker 3: find a new thing, or is that is that what
Speaker 3: you really want to do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 10: I came up with this plan that I would be
Speaker 10: an English teacher and then work my summers as a
Speaker 10: hobbyist wildlife rehab, which I don't think is the worst
Speaker 10: plan every Yeah, I think I let my anxiety get
Speaker 10: to me a little bit too much.
Speaker 3: What are you anxious about?
Speaker 10: Genuinely just making the wrong decision, which everybody says. You know,
Speaker 10: you can always go back to school or always make
Speaker 10: up a different decision. But you know, I care about
Speaker 10: debt and everything, so.
Speaker 3: No debt is a big one. I mean, you're not
Speaker 3: thinking about incurring more debt, are you?
Speaker 10: No? So far I've got my associations with no debt.
Speaker 3: So oh, so you don't have any debt?
Speaker 10: Not yet?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: Oh you don't wait so okay, but you just said
Speaker 3: not yet. But then when I ask you if you're
Speaker 3: thinking about a caring more that, you said no.
Speaker 10: What's that going to try not to? But I guess yes,
Speaker 10: I guess yes.
Speaker 3: Sorry, no, I'll be sorry. Well you have okay, Well,
Speaker 3: you want to be an English teacher or wildlife associates
Speaker 3: I mean a wildlife rehabilitationist person. It sounds like you
Speaker 3: have the qualifications required to be I don't know. I
Speaker 3: don't have a real job, so I don't know what
Speaker 3: it requires to do that. But it sounds like you
Speaker 3: have what it takes requirementally wise to be an English teacher.
Speaker 10: Right right, Yeah, I definitely could. I definitely say.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, what's stopping you from this plan of
Speaker 3: the English teacher during the year in the during the summer.
Speaker 10: It's definitely the amount of teachers I've talked to that
Speaker 10: have advised me against it, because I don't want to
Speaker 10: be the guy that's like, you know, screw you all.
Speaker 10: I'm not going to trust your advice, and I'm just
Speaker 10: gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I mean, let's say you do it anyway. I mean,
Speaker 3: let's say you do one summer as a rehab person
Speaker 3: and it sucks. You don't have to go into debt,
Speaker 3: like like, what do you what do you? What do
Speaker 3: you lose from trying it? That's what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: figure out.
Speaker 10: I guess there's not a lot to lose with the rehabit.
Speaker 10: I'm doing it occasionally, but there's more to lose with
Speaker 10: like a bachelor's degree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's definitely something to lose if you go back
Speaker 3: to get more school. But that's what do you need?
Speaker 3: Do you need more school to do this plan?
Speaker 10: Yes, I need to finish my bachelors, so I only
Speaker 10: have the associates. M h.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that does make it tough.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a dilemmaker.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you one one kind of less thing
Speaker 3: that I like to think about when I think about
Speaker 3: these sort of situations. Okay, uh, all right, you wanting
Speaker 3: to be in the jobs themselves are like very tangible
Speaker 3: specific things. Yes, but what's at the root of your
Speaker 3: desire to do them? Does that make sense?
Speaker 10: Like yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say it's just helping,
Speaker 10: like I really enjoy helping animals and people kids specifically.
Speaker 10: So that's when I said they're kind of empathy based.
Speaker 3: Okay, great, And the reason I asked that is because
Speaker 3: that like worst case scenario and I I've told this
Speaker 3: to someone before with this exact camel background on another stream,
Speaker 3: which is that I would really think about the I
Speaker 3: would think less about the specifics and more about the
Speaker 3: generalities of I want to help people, I want to
Speaker 3: help kids, I want to help animals, because there's I
Speaker 3: mean infinite ways to help people that don't require you
Speaker 3: going into debt absolutely, So I would focus on chasing
Speaker 3: those very general things because I think people a lot
Speaker 3: of times like they go after this very specific thing
Speaker 3: like I want to be like they get like television on,
Speaker 3: like I want to be this thing, only this thing,
Speaker 3: and if someone says no to me and I can't
Speaker 3: be this thing, I'm fucked. But when reality, what you're
Speaker 3: chasing is is the fulfillment of the general thing of
Speaker 3: I want to help people. So I do you have
Speaker 3: that in mind as opposed to any specific career in mind?
Speaker 10: If that means yeah, absolutely, that's a that's a really
Speaker 10: great point. That's gonna help me out a lot.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 10: I appreciate that, mackenzie.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for for sure, McKenzie, and good luck
Speaker 3: you too. Have a good night.
Speaker 1: All from Beatrice.
Speaker 3: Beatrice, you picked I picked up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, what's up dude?
Speaker 3: Hey Beatrice, can you turn your stream off for me?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, sorry, yeah, it's off.
Speaker 3: So what's up?
Speaker 13: Nothing much. It's been a rough day and I saw
Speaker 13: your streaming, so that cheered me up a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 13: How about you?
Speaker 3: Why has it been a rough day?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 13: Just long. I couldn't get any sleep last night and
Speaker 13: I was running around to finish chores, so.
Speaker 3: Finish tours chor chores.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't get to sleep on last night either. Did
Speaker 3: sleep is uh for the week?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: They say that. I mean, here's the thing, here's what
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna look. I'm no doctor, but I'm
Speaker 3: a little skeptical, right because they say that sleep is healthy.
Speaker 3: M They said that sleep is healthy, but they also
Speaker 3: say that exercise is healthy, and to me, that's a contradiction.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is it? Should I be laying around
Speaker 3: all day doing nothing or should I be moving my
Speaker 3: body twenty four to seven. That's why I don't trust doctors,
Speaker 3: because they've been giving out too much contradicting information. How
Speaker 3: can sleep and exercise both be healthy?
Speaker 13: I'm an athlete, so I don't really know.
Speaker 3: All right, so you picked one, which I think is reasonable.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but it wasn't worth it.
Speaker 3: Why was it not worth it? How old are you? Beatrice?
Speaker 13: I am twenty five.
Speaker 3: You're an athlete? Are you? I mean, okay, so you're
Speaker 3: I mean at the age of twenty five, you're probably
Speaker 3: like a real athlete. You're not like in school or
Speaker 3: anything like that.
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: No, I didn't go to college.
Speaker 3: What kind of athlete are you?
Speaker 13: I'm a swimmer.
Speaker 3: Say you're like a professional competitive swimmer.
Speaker 13: I guess, so, I guess so well. I go to
Speaker 13: bitcomp petitions, but where I live it's not really that hard.
Speaker 13: There's not many people on our team, so it's easy
Speaker 13: to get picked to go to.
Speaker 8: These big ends.
Speaker 10: Beature.
Speaker 3: Some my own the speakerphone right now.
Speaker 13: No, I'm sorry, Are you like echoing.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's just a little it's a little bit
Speaker 3: tricky to hear you.
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, Oh, no problem.
Speaker 3: So you are right. So you said where you live,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of people, so it's easy to
Speaker 3: get picked. So you're the best. So you're among the
Speaker 3: kareem of the crown.
Speaker 2: I guess because.
Speaker 3: You never sleep because you're too busy swimming.
Speaker 13: I wish, I wish I could grow a pair of gills.
Speaker 3: Well, you're on your way. It sounds like, okay, so
Speaker 3: you all right? So you're a professional swim.
Speaker 13: Person, yeah, professional fish.
Speaker 3: Do you enjoy being a professional fish?
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 13: I joined when I was in I think third grade.
Speaker 13: It's when I started to learn how to swim. And
Speaker 13: it was fun until like middle school, high school, and
Speaker 13: then it just started to get stressful and not too great.
Speaker 3: Wow. So it's been stressful since middle school? Yeah, which
Speaker 3: was ten years ago. Uh. And yet you've you've you
Speaker 3: have persisted.
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What keeps you going?
Speaker 13: I like the experiences that I get to have, and
Speaker 13: I know if I quit, I probably wouldn't see half
Speaker 13: of the people that I swim with anymore. Because we
Speaker 13: devote our lives to the sport.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like an all encompassing thing. M.
Speaker 13: What about you? Did you do any sports growing up?
Speaker 3: So do you think that you're gonna keep with it?
Speaker 13: I don't know. I've been thinking about that recently. There's
Speaker 13: a big meat coming up. It's gonna be in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 13: And I just haven't been doing that right. I haven't
Speaker 13: been improving. I developed a chronic bronchitis, I think, and
Speaker 13: it's just been getting hard and I haven't gotten a
Speaker 13: chance to get myself checked out yet.
Speaker 3: So have you talked to a real therapist about this stuff?
Speaker 3: It sounds like it's very genuinely stressing you.
Speaker 13: As No, it's too expensive, but I'm sorry, Oh no,
Speaker 13: I don't.
Speaker 3: You don't have to be sorry it's too expensive.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They don't have like a look for a sport that's stressful.
Speaker 3: They should have like a sponsored thing.
Speaker 13: Well, I mean normally in bigger places like up the
Speaker 13: the States, they have like some teams have the souses
Speaker 13: and people that you can go to. But are some
Speaker 13: team is so small that they just they're kind of
Speaker 13: happy that you're coming. And if she heard or something
Speaker 13: going on in your life, that's your problem.
Speaker 3: Mmmm. Well, look, I don't know. I feel like there's
Speaker 3: got to be a thing that you can though I
Speaker 3: don't know, I haven't really researched this. I gotta I
Speaker 3: gotta get a better help code that I can give
Speaker 3: Michael Michael Phelps uses that ship? Which? Uh? Which? Which?
Speaker 3: Which is it that Michael Phelps uses that everyone hates?
Speaker 13: Oh, I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 3: Look if Michael, if Michael Phelps uses it, I feel
Speaker 3: like it could be good for you, I guess.
Speaker 13: I mean, look at him, it's a gold medalist.
Speaker 3: How do you How do you feel about this conversation?
Speaker 13: I feel like it's nice. I don't really like opening
Speaker 13: up to friends or family because I don't want to
Speaker 13: dump my problems or worries into them because I know
Speaker 13: they're already stressed out with all the things happening in
Speaker 13: their lives.
Speaker 3: Your life is funny. Well, look, Beatrice, I hope that
Speaker 3: you do find a you know, a real therapist to
Speaker 3: talk to. Maybe uh, I don't know. Maybe you'll be
Speaker 3: swimming one day and you'll, like, you know, it would
Speaker 3: be interesting. I'm imagining you, like I don't know, you
Speaker 3: you fall into this like fantasy, but like you become
Speaker 3: a mermaid and you go into the sea and you
Speaker 3: start like telling all your problems to all the fish
Speaker 3: and stuff, and they give you any good advice, like
Speaker 3: better advice than I could give you, and you sing
Speaker 3: a song that could happen to you.
Speaker 13: I'd love for that to happen to me.
Speaker 3: I believe in it. Thank you well, you have a
Speaker 3: good night, Beatrice. Thank you so much for.
Speaker 13: Calling you too. I appreciate the talk.
Speaker 3: Can I Beatrice?

Speaker 3: really do?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 11: No, No, a doctor felicid?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Doctor philosophy? Yes, I'm curious about this. You say you're
Speaker 3: qualified to be a doctor.
Speaker 11: In some sense of the word.
Speaker 3: What exactly qualify? What makes someone objectively more qualified to
Speaker 3: philosophize than someone else?
Speaker 11: Is it objective? I guess some sort of paper.
Speaker 3: It's on paper, it's I I you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if it's objective. I
Speaker 3: guess that's why I'm kind of what I'm asking.
Speaker 11: Well, I didn't really expect to get in some of
Speaker 11: its right off.
Speaker 3: Oh, no worries.
Speaker 11: Take a time, Doc John, Sure, sure, can I come
Speaker 11: claim with you?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 11: I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 3: No, you're John back from the dead.
Speaker 11: Could be if that's what you like.
Speaker 3: I don't want what i'd like. I want the truth.
Speaker 11: I understand. Well, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 11: Now I've come to uh have a charvity today, not
Speaker 11: not specifically related to the topic. I've just liked some
Speaker 11: advice and I thought this would be a lot easier
Speaker 11: than talking to a real you know, Gecker.
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, Look, I I I can promise you no satisfaction.
Speaker 3: I do not have a satisfaction guarantee, as a lot
Speaker 3: of products and services do, but I will promise you
Speaker 3: an effort guarantee. I will try my best to give
Speaker 3: you advice.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: So please please? Uh? What is it? What do you
Speaker 3: tell me? Everything?
Speaker 11: Okay, So here's the story. Tell me, I've just reconnected
Speaker 11: with a young lady, not young, but you know right,
Speaker 11: got it? And you know we'd had a bit of history,
Speaker 11: high school crush kind of deal.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 11: And yeah, yeah, it's now been five or six years
Speaker 11: or so, and to complete the story, I liked it
Speaker 11: for a long time. I got into a relationship. She
Speaker 11: tried to make something happen, but I'm a you know,
Speaker 11: moral person, so I didn't go for that.
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, Well I'm real quick, you said she
Speaker 3: first of all, Doc, John, I'm not quite getting the
Speaker 3: details of the story. Here's my current understanding of what
Speaker 3: you're trying to tell me is that you were seeing
Speaker 3: a girl and you too, is that you dated a
Speaker 3: girl for five years and then you told me she
Speaker 3: tried to make something happen, but you're against but because
Speaker 3: of your moraley, I mean, what is this something?
Speaker 11: My apologies, my my apologies. I was dating a girl,
Speaker 11: a different girl, and then this girl which I had
Speaker 11: you know, I had a thing for for many years previously.
Speaker 3: Okay, you've been dating a girl and then a girl
Speaker 3: who you previously had a crush on wanted to make
Speaker 3: something happen with you, but you did not want to
Speaker 3: do that because you are currently in a relationship I
Speaker 3: was at the time. Yes, okay, so now you're not
Speaker 3: in a relationship.
Speaker 11: No, and it's been many years. But this is just
Speaker 11: this is just some background you know of the complexity
Speaker 11: of what's going on.
Speaker 3: So hit me with the four anyway.
Speaker 11: Uh, we just she's just got to touch again and
Speaker 11: we've we've seen each other once and it was it
Speaker 11: was very good.
Speaker 3: You don't sound like you have a problem, Like you've
Speaker 3: got a good thing going on. You are no longer
Speaker 3: in a relationship for whatever reason, and now this girl
Speaker 3: who you liked, who wanted to be with you when
Speaker 3: you were in a relationship, and you, you know, I
Speaker 3: think appropriately decided not to do that, but now you're
Speaker 3: not in a relationship and are not free to free
Speaker 3: to pursue that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the only problem is now, like you know what
Speaker 11: and I I know nothing nothing about her.
Speaker 3: Really, you don't know anything about her.
Speaker 13: Not.
Speaker 11: The person she is now.
Speaker 3: Well, Doc John, Doc John, it's get to know her,
Speaker 3: go on some dates for Christ's sake, Doc John.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's the plan. However, I feel now like
Speaker 11: how I felt in high school, and like I want
Speaker 11: to know, like if I'm chasing something in the past.
Speaker 3: That's beautiful, John, Look, dot John, this person's giving you butterflies.
Speaker 3: If you're nervous to be with this person, you're nervous
Speaker 3: to take her on a date and I mean that's good.
Speaker 3: That means that you have something here. Follow the nerves, John.
Speaker 3: If you weren't nervous to be with her, then I
Speaker 3: mean that would be boring, that would not be a
Speaker 3: relationship worth pursuing. I don't even think so. I think
Speaker 3: you follow the nerves. It means that you're getting out
Speaker 3: of your comfort zone. It means that you're attempting something
Speaker 3: that matters to you.
Speaker 6: John.
Speaker 3: Let's see, where are you gonna take her? Take her
Speaker 3: to the bowling?
Speaker 7: What do they do?
Speaker 3: And let's see. It sounds like you're from Taiwan. What
Speaker 3: do they do in Taiwan?
Speaker 11: Chinese food?
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's correct, but listen, doc John,
Speaker 3: good luck in your romantic pursuits. I'm giving you all
Speaker 3: of my gecko energy and I appreciate you calling in you.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 5: Australia by the way.
Speaker 10: Represent how come man?
Speaker 11: All right?
Speaker 3: This is actually is Australia back here. I love you too,
Speaker 3: Dot John, you have one for us then, I thank
Speaker 3: you so much for sharing.
Speaker 11: Any Thank you.
Speaker 1: All from Anthony.
Speaker 3: Anthony.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, come I own yeah yeah indeed. Uh well,
Speaker 5: I'm just listening and I don't hate your stream that's
Speaker 5: what you're wondering. So how are you doing.
Speaker 3: Tonight, Anthony? Yes, yeah, have you ever lied?
Speaker 4: I have?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Tell me about you having lied?
Speaker 5: H I have been thinking about that. I've been watching
Speaker 5: the entire stream and I just completely got.
Speaker 3: Free to remember.
Speaker 5: Oh here's an easy one. I guess. Like the beginning
Speaker 5: of high school, freshman year, I started smoking weed.
Speaker 2: I liked my.
Speaker 5: Mom about it like about a year and a half
Speaker 5: until like I caught, like sophomore year.
Speaker 3: And what was her reaction when you got caught?
Speaker 5: She was okay with that.
Speaker 2: She just.
Speaker 5: Yeah. She asked me why I didn't tell her anything,
Speaker 5: and I was like, smarter is something to tell I
Speaker 5: would like.
Speaker 3: With smoking weed. If you're like a kid or whatever,
Speaker 3: is like I mean, if you're like if I were
Speaker 3: like a parent and like I had a kid of
Speaker 3: suk a weed. I'm like, if you if everything else
Speaker 3: is like going good, I kind of don't care. Like,
Speaker 3: if you're like if you like get your grades are
Speaker 3: good and you're chilling and you have a life, you
Speaker 3: seem like a preductive human being, I kind of don't care.
Speaker 3: Where where people get sucked up is when they get
Speaker 3: like addicted to it. And it like fucks them up
Speaker 3: and like they don't do other things.
Speaker 5: That's that was basically the situation. I don't really smoke
Speaker 5: weed anymore, but well I haven't like smoking since like,
Speaker 5: uh like six months ago down there. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 5: just do it kind of casually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, breaking weed. Was that an intentional decision or did
Speaker 3: it just kind of fade out into something you didn't
Speaker 3: do as often?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 5: Kind of both. I usually took like tolerance breaks every
Speaker 5: few months. I started getting a little two into it.
Speaker 5: I would just kind of take a break, you know,
Speaker 5: but just break kind of lasted longer. I don't really
Speaker 5: want to go back to it right now. I guess
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: It's good life. It's good to take some time off.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can smoke weed every day and just not
Speaker 3: like not even to realize that you're smoking weed every day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had this time well like part parts of
Speaker 5: the day, I guess, like past midnight. You know, it
Speaker 5: kind of just gets like that. I think, you know,
Speaker 5: it's all kind of just a blur sometimes.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. What's your relationship like with your mother?
Speaker 5: Uh, I'm not really too close, you know, a lot
Speaker 5: in common or anything.
Speaker 3: Really, How would you describe her.
Speaker 5: Uh, I don't know. She's kind of lazy, but also
Speaker 5: not she doesn't she just watches TV most of the day,
Speaker 5: kind of drives around and you know sort of thing.
Speaker 3: She's kind of watches TV all day. And how would
Speaker 3: you describe yourself in contrast?
Speaker 5: Uh, Well, because of the pandemic, I haven't really been
Speaker 5: able to go see my friends, but I would do that.
Speaker 5: Most of the time. We hang out, like, uh, go
Speaker 5: get food and walk around, hang out of the park
Speaker 5: and stuff, watch TV as well. Uh, I play frisbee
Speaker 5: and stuff.
Speaker 3: So what you and your mom do not have in
Speaker 3: common is that you have friends and your mom does
Speaker 3: not have friends.
Speaker 5: Sort of, I've spend more.
Speaker 3: Time with my friends, I guess, I kind of said.
Speaker 5: And well, when you get older, I guess what it's
Speaker 5: life for some people.
Speaker 3: Well listen, thank you so much for calling. You said.
Speaker 3: Your name is Anthony. Yeah, fuck yeah, dude, I actually
Speaker 3: I'm I should remember that name.
Speaker 5: Well, I have three questions for you, gek or like
Speaker 5: three things questions. Yeah, they're they're really short, all right,
Speaker 5: tell me, Okay, the first one, has anyone ever told
Speaker 5: you that you look like the actor Charlie Day? I
Speaker 5: was watching your stream like the other night WICKI to
Speaker 5: wiki or whatever. Yeah, I saw you, like without all
Speaker 5: the GEK makeup on, you look exactly like that guy,
Speaker 5: just like with lighter hair.
Speaker 3: I have that I look like that before. I have
Speaker 3: seen some TikTok comments, some some some twitch kind it's
Speaker 3: about that. I have seen that before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really freaky. Another one. I've listened to like
Speaker 5: a lot of the podcasts recently, and I got to
Speaker 5: like the older ones because I've cleared out all the
Speaker 5: newer ones. And I noticed that you have like music
Speaker 5: that played like in between every call. I love that
Speaker 5: music so much. Why did you remove it?
Speaker 3: When did I remove it?
Speaker 5: I don't know, like the exact one, but probably like
Speaker 5: after at least the tenth call, our tenth episode.
Speaker 3: Maybe I would not be surprised if there was at
Speaker 3: least one podcast that I have put out that erroneously
Speaker 3: does not have music, but there should be.
Speaker 5: All was like the specific music though, it was just
Speaker 5: like it was great. I vibe with it every in
Speaker 5: between calls.
Speaker 3: The most recently, the most recent podcast have all used
Speaker 3: the same music, but in the past I tried to
Speaker 3: switch it up a little bit more but now I
Speaker 3: kind of use the same music for everyone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the last one was like a shout out
Speaker 5: to like someone that had called before. It was like
Speaker 5: the first guy that I like, I saw on your stream,
Speaker 5: like on TikTok. I just want to shout this guy
Speaker 5: out because like he changed my life almost. You know,
Speaker 5: it's the guy that he's only in the shower.
Speaker 3: If he's here, Yeah, I wonder if he's watching.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think about this guy every day, like totally
Speaker 5: change my worldview like how everything works.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't do it.
Speaker 5: I seriously consider it though, every time I go to
Speaker 5: the bathroom.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, it's inspiring to listen to someone
Speaker 3: you really going out of the way to live their
Speaker 3: life their own way intentionally.
Speaker 5: He was really it seemed like he was on a
Speaker 5: new way of life.
Speaker 3: Okay, I hope he's I hope he's I hope he's
Speaker 3: doing Okay. I hope he's not dead. He could be dead.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard from while. I hope he's not though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if he's listening calling, I'll be listening to the stream.
Speaker 5: And I love you.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Anceeny, thank you ye have a
Speaker 3: good night, all right.
Speaker 5: I love you gre love you.
Speaker 3: Too, baby.
Speaker 1: All from Aiden Aiden?
Speaker 2: Hello, Hey, Hey, how you doing? Hello?
Speaker 3: I'm doing good. How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm doing all right, just all right.
Speaker 3: I think that's actually reasonable to be doing just all right.
Speaker 3: I'll be concerned if you were doing fantastically. I mean
Speaker 3: I can be doing amazing, you can be. Are you
Speaker 3: in a car right now? Hi?
Speaker 13: Sure?
Speaker 10: Am am?
Speaker 3: I on speakerphone? What's happening? Where am I? Right now?
Speaker 5: You're on speaker?
Speaker 2: Could I have a second to put my ears in?
Speaker 5: Is that okay?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let's let's do it. Let's get illegal in here.
Speaker 3: I'll wait, I've got anything else going on. This is
Speaker 3: what I played. This is when I woke up this morning.
Speaker 3: I fully planned on being a gay. I fully planned
Speaker 3: that at eleven twenty six pm this evening, I would
Speaker 3: be exactly where I am right now, in this chair
Speaker 3: as a get go, talking to people on the phone.
Speaker 3: So this is actually according to plan fully, So don't
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Don't worry about me.
Speaker 2: I solid imad Are they in ie?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Where are we? Where in the where in the car
Speaker 3: are we? What state?
Speaker 2: I am in? California?
Speaker 3: And where are we on our way to or.
Speaker 2: From home from work?
Speaker 3: Home from work? And where do you work?
Speaker 2: I'm work at game Stop?
Speaker 4: Ed where game Stop?
Speaker 3: Did they pay you in stock?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 3: Did you invest in game Stop?
Speaker 2: I got it or I wanted to, but it was
Speaker 2: a little too late for me to get in m.
Speaker 3: Apparently it's not. Apparently it just squows a little bit more.
Speaker 3: But I don't know how that shit works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not very smart, so
Speaker 2: I don't really know.
Speaker 3: You're not very smart.
Speaker 2: I'd say I more street smart than financially or book smart.
Speaker 3: What makes you say that you're streets What makes you
Speaker 3: say that you're street smart?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just have had a lot of
Speaker 2: life experiences and kind of taught me a lot. And
Speaker 2: I feel like I think a little bit more rationally
Speaker 2: than most people that I've met, So I feel like
Speaker 2: I can make logical decisions a lot easier than most people.
Speaker 3: Interesting, tell me, tell me of these life's decisions that
Speaker 3: you feel as though have inspired your street smartness, Which
Speaker 3: would you say is the most vital, the one that
Speaker 3: has inspired your street smartness the most?
Speaker 16: If you can pick, probably the day I decided to
Speaker 16: move out of my dad's time at the age.
Speaker 3: Of seventeen, at the age of what did they teach you?
Speaker 16: It taught me that life is more than just go
Speaker 16: to school and come home, or go to work and
Speaker 16: come home. It's a lot more about relationships than dealing
Speaker 16: with a bunch of shit you don't want to Hm, that's.
Speaker 3: A rather pessimistic viewpoint.
Speaker 2: I'd say it's a little bit more of a realistic viewpoint.
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes they always that's what they always say.
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, But then again, I mean, look, perception
Speaker 3: is I mean, I'm about to sound like a new
Speaker 3: share but all right, perception is reality. Yeah, so if
Speaker 3: you perceive things optimistically, then you're a realist. But if
Speaker 3: you perceive things pessimistically, you're also a realist. So matter
Speaker 3: what thing you are, you're a realist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a very good point. I don't really
Speaker 2: think about it like that.
Speaker 3: What get do people have a prank? Call you gay?
Speaker 3: When I was in when I was fourteen, I prank
Speaker 3: called game Stop all the time because it was the
Speaker 3: one place that a human being always picked up, like
Speaker 3: if I wanted to call, like if I tried to
Speaker 3: call Target or some shit it was always the robot
Speaker 3: or you had to like go to a bunch of
Speaker 3: shit to get to a human. But GameStop it was
Speaker 3: immediately always a human. So they were the easiest people
Speaker 3: to prank call. So I'd print call them a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we we used to get a lot
Speaker 2: of print calls a couple uh years ago, but the
Speaker 2: print calls nowadays, they're kind of weak, to be honest, like,
Speaker 2: people don't really I don't really try. It's always like, oh,
Speaker 2: you have g Like, I mean, that's not really a
Speaker 2: print call.
Speaker 3: Dude, do you have what six?
Speaker 2: Do you have GTA six? And I'm like, that's not
Speaker 2: really a print call, you know, Like that's that's what
Speaker 2: you being done.
Speaker 3: No, I would prank call game stoff and I would
Speaker 3: just go ah and I would hang up.
Speaker 2: That's a prank call. I would love to take that.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. All right, Where where do you work?
Speaker 3: I'll call you?
Speaker 2: Uh should I display that they area? I'll just say,
Speaker 2: I'll say Bay area, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I'll come in. I don't really play video games anymore.
Speaker 3: I only play I only played one video game, but
Speaker 3: it's like twenty years old, Green Skid, No Melee.
Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, okay, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3: Do you guys have that.
Speaker 2: Probably one of the best. No, we don't.
Speaker 3: Would you say?
Speaker 6: Name was.
Speaker 2: Aiden? Aiden?
Speaker 3: Aiden?
Speaker 15: How?
Speaker 3: Fuck?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 3: How long have we been on the phone for? There's
Speaker 3: no way you aren't There's no way you haven't got
Speaker 3: gotten home yet.
Speaker 2: My commute is an hour and a half both way.
Speaker 3: You commute an hour and a half to work at
Speaker 3: game stop? Why?
Speaker 2: That's the question. That's kind of why I'm calling.
Speaker 3: Is there not a game stop closer to you?
Speaker 2: There is, but I'm not working under the leader who
Speaker 2: leads that district?
Speaker 3: Okay, well why do you? Why do you work it?
Speaker 7: Again?
Speaker 3: Why do you? Why do you commute so far?
Speaker 2: Because it's kind of the whole I dug myself into
Speaker 2: and I can't find a way out right now, so
Speaker 2: I just kind of deal with it.
Speaker 3: Let's go. What's your lease looking like? How much more
Speaker 3: you got on there?
Speaker 2: I it's actually a month to month, like I can
Speaker 2: move whenever I want, But you know, the bunny and
Speaker 2: the timing has got to be right.
Speaker 14: What U?
Speaker 3: It's month to month?
Speaker 4: What used to do?
Speaker 3: How many? How many months in a row have you
Speaker 3: commuted an hour and a half to game stop.
Speaker 2: Uh, probably a year and a half.
Speaker 3: Now what why.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't get out man, No, nobody wants to. Well,
Speaker 2: I can't move out today area you know out here
Speaker 2: in California, man, like not too much? Doesn't pay me
Speaker 2: enough to live out there?
Speaker 3: Hell, but you can't. But you can't find the place
Speaker 3: that's but the cheap. You can't find a place for
Speaker 3: a similar price that's less than by the way, I mean,
Speaker 3: have you got like on gas on time? Uh? I
Speaker 3: feel like you can move a little bit closer. You
Speaker 3: really couldn't find the place closer than an hour and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 2: I really wish I could say yes. But the most
Speaker 2: the cheapest one that I've been able to find is
Speaker 2: reach to four hundred dollars more than what I'm paying
