Speaker 3: work too.
Speaker 2: Jobs.
Speaker 1: Okay, you. I don't know why you decided to answer
Speaker 1: this question with the freight job and not the dinosaur job.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you you just if you. I
Speaker 1: don't know what we're going to talk about through the
Speaker 1: duration of this call, but if you walk away with
Speaker 1: one thing from this interaction, I want it to be
Speaker 1: that next time somebody asks you what you do, you
Speaker 1: start with the dinosaur thing, and then on the end
Speaker 1: you are a professional dinosaur who does the freight shipment
Speaker 1: on the side, not a fresh ship. Who does the
Speaker 1: dinosaur on the side. You need to know that.
Speaker 3: Ship in Jurassic Trucks man.
Speaker 1: So seth, what you want to talk about today? Wait?
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm not well, I don't know why. Well
Speaker 1: tell me about the dinosaur thing.
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about the dinosaur thing?
Speaker 4: Fuck?
Speaker 1: I want to hear the dinosaur thing.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So I live in Kansas and there's not a lot
Speaker 3: of stuff here. So about like seven no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: not that long. About like six years ago, a dinosaur
Speaker 3: theme park company came here and they built a dinosaur
Speaker 3: park in the city right over, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, yeah, dude, I want to work there.
Speaker 3: So I just like showed up and I applied. It
Speaker 3: was live auditions, right, and I wasn't like a performers kid.
Speaker 3: So I walked in there because the thing only said
Speaker 3: be prepared to wear big shoes, and I was like
Speaker 3: easy enough for me, Yes, I don't know. So I
Speaker 3: walked in there and they had me like doing all
Speaker 3: this acting and stuff, and I like sucked at the acting.
Speaker 3: So they were like, you know what, We're going to
Speaker 3: teach you how to puppeteer the full body dinosaur puppet
Speaker 3: because you probably look better than that.
Speaker 2: Wow, But I love it. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: It's like inside of it looks like a spaceship. It's
Speaker 3: all metal, and there's like a headset that you wear
Speaker 3: to make all the noise. You make all the sounds yourself.
Speaker 3: But it's voice modulated, so it's like high level puppetry,
Speaker 3: you know, at a place where people, you know, we never.
Speaker 2: See that stuff. So I love it.
Speaker 3: I love seeing people's reactions to it.
Speaker 1: Seth, we gotta hear some dinosaur noises.
Speaker 3: Dinosaur noises, man, I'm usually doing the voice modulation, but
Speaker 3: if you want to, if you want.
Speaker 2: Me to give you a little roar real.
Speaker 1: Quick, I want to raw roar.
Speaker 5: Try saying that you want to raw roar, It's gonna
Speaker 5: sound like Garbel.
Speaker 3: But when I'm inside this suit, I make this noise.
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't even think that needs voice
Speaker 1: to regulation.
Speaker 3: You don't think that needs modulation?
Speaker 1: Wait, okay, what what a dynad? They roar? Give me?
Speaker 1: You do any other you do? Any of what other
Speaker 1: noises do dinosaurs make? Except for roars?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What? What's it? What noises? What?
Speaker 3: Paleontologists actually have no idea. What sounds a dinosaur made,
Speaker 3: except for like very few like horned dinosaurs, but.
Speaker 2: It t rex.
Speaker 3: I guess we've made like actual echoing voises. But we're
Speaker 3: going off, you know, the Jurassic Park crep. So, but
Speaker 3: I'd be like making little like snarls and shit when
Speaker 3: I'm in there, I'll be rocking around.
Speaker 2: I'll be That sounds ridiculous, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: You know, when its modulation, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Imagine I explained to a tender date.
Speaker 1: Oh that'd be the best tender date of all time.
Speaker 1: Showed up in the dinosaur costume.
Speaker 3: In the dinosaur costume, dude, the dinosaur costume weighs one
Speaker 3: hundred pounds and we can't get out of.
Speaker 2: It by ourselves.
Speaker 3: It kind of hell pounds. Yeah, it weighs one hundred pounds,
Speaker 3: so you wear it like a big backpack. I make
Speaker 3: videos of it on TikTok and they kind of went good.
Speaker 2: So I've been posting videos of that.
Speaker 3: But it's like, if you ever want to check it out,
Speaker 3: you can look.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna plug myself because I feel like that's disrespectful, but.
Speaker 3: You can see the whole inside of it. You wear
Speaker 3: it like a backpack. It straps in at the base.
Speaker 3: You tie your shoes into shoes attached to the t
Speaker 3: rex's legs, and then someone has to get you off
Speaker 3: a metal rack and then you're free rooming for like
Speaker 3: twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: And is it just you or there's Is it a
Speaker 1: single man costume.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a single man costume.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You hold up.
Speaker 3: So it's split into like two sections. Basically, it's the body, right,
Speaker 3: So the body has to be big enough for a
Speaker 3: human to like have some like arm room and you know,
Speaker 3: room for your head. But then there's a full from
Speaker 3: point on the inside of like the cage which is
Speaker 3: the body right, that controls all that movement of the neck.
Speaker 3: But you have to hold the whole head up the
Speaker 3: whole time.
Speaker 2: It's thirty pounds just neck. You know.
Speaker 1: What I'm imagining is like how tragic it would be.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're on the job in your dinosaur suit
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden nuclear war strikes.
Speaker 3: Okay, dude, I was talking about this ship.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't about to say, and everyone dies
Speaker 1: except you because you were except me by by the
Speaker 1: magical power of the dinosaur costume. But now you are
Speaker 1: stuck there and you have to die slowly.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'll just die a heat stroke.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what's the name? What's this park? I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't have to dox yourself too much.
Speaker 3: But I probably shouldn't say the name of it because
Speaker 3: the owner, I mean not the own, but my park
Speaker 3: manager was not too keen on the idea.
Speaker 2: I was making.
Speaker 3: Videos and they were getting like looked at, so he
Speaker 3: thinks I don't do it anymore, so I won't like it.
Speaker 3: But there's two in the United States, so it's just
Speaker 3: one here and then one in another state. M hmm.
Speaker 3: And did you really easy to find dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Or did you know anything about dinosaurs before you started
Speaker 1: this job or you have gotten into them as a result.
Speaker 2: Dude, I had.
Speaker 3: Known not a single thing about dinosaurs, but now I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's like all the information they feed you, like this
Speaker 3: actual information is like supposed to be intelligent shows for
Speaker 3: like young kids, so it like talks about the scientific methods,
Speaker 3: so you learn about like different bones and fossils and
Speaker 3: names of dinosaurs and groups of dinosaurs. Family, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. M But I knew nothing, and I
Speaker 3: know too much about dinosaurs?
Speaker 1: What can you hit? Can you hit us with like
Speaker 1: your best dinosaur fact that you would throw out?
Speaker 2: Fact?
Speaker 3: Let's see, let's see, let's see.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that the t rex's.
Speaker 3: Arms, right, most people think that they were like like
Speaker 3: really small and useless, right, because they're so small, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. But if you look at it
Speaker 3: in proportion to like everybody thinks they're so small, But
Speaker 3: if you look at it into proportion of the whole thing, right,
Speaker 3: those arms are probably the length of someone who's six
Speaker 3: feet tall, So they would actually be used for like
Speaker 3: you know, getting down and like tearing open their prey.
Speaker 3: But they also could lift up to a thousand pounds
Speaker 3: just each little arm, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. That would actually be if you showed up
Speaker 1: to the date in the costume and you spit that fact.
Speaker 3: You're voice modulator on or off?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 3: Ooh on on yes, spicy do can.
Speaker 1: You do you like speak to the kids or it's
Speaker 1: just in sounds?
Speaker 3: No, so this is uh, it's just me making dinosaur
Speaker 3: sounds because they tried to make it as realistic as possible,
Speaker 3: you know, so it's an accurate representation of a juvenile
Speaker 3: t rex is what they they say. So, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it looks really sick. I mean some kids are terrified
Speaker 3: of it. It gets really scary, but it looks fucking sick.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Have you ever accident my legs show
Speaker 3: in the puppet and sometimes people are like two throwing
Speaker 3: out four legs. Well, so I don't get heat stroke?
Speaker 1: Have you ever accidentally made a kid cry? Or I
Speaker 1: don't know, purposely, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh, dude, all the time. It happens every weekend, and
Speaker 3: you can't see shit out of that thing. So it
Speaker 3: helps me like tell direction of where the kid is,
Speaker 3: and then I just egg it on. Like it sounds
Speaker 3: fucked up, but you get in the mode, dude, you
Speaker 3: turn into dinosaur and you're just thinking like, er, you.
Speaker 1: Know, wait, so you can like hone in on one
Speaker 1: particular kid that you can tell is extra scared and
Speaker 1: direct your dinosaur exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, like they don't tell us not to do this, right,
Speaker 3: because what we do is we get the littlest kid
Speaker 3: from the meat option, right, and they're like, now with
Speaker 3: this volunteer, he's going to offer our t rex delicious
Speaker 3: juicy prime, right, and then they throw like a fake
Speaker 3: chicken off the stage that's in her hand right, and
Speaker 3: then they raise the kid's arm up and they say
Speaker 3: human arm and either they start crying at that point
Speaker 3: or they start crying when the t rex is like
Speaker 3: right in front of them.
Speaker 1: But as long as they're crying, you know you've done
Speaker 1: your job well.
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, And I don't get in.
Speaker 2: Trouble for it.
Speaker 1: So does that like hit? Does that hit some like
Speaker 1: part of something inside of you?
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I just think I'm in the zone.
Speaker 3: I take a lot of stress out through the week
Speaker 3: because you know, my main job is like you know,
Speaker 3: typing all day talking to people. So I'm like, you
Speaker 3: know what, this is my fun job. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: a silly guy. So I just let out all my
Speaker 3: anger because this to it's like a full Boddy workout,
Speaker 3: So you're letting off a lot of team ready, you know.
Speaker 2: So I just go for it.
Speaker 3: But it depends, like if they're too upset or something
Speaker 3: and they're already freaking out way too much, I won't.
Speaker 3: But it's like if they're like scared, you know, and
Speaker 3: maybe they like scream or something, you know, then I'll
Speaker 3: egg it on a little bit. But sometimes they just
Speaker 3: don't stop crying.
Speaker 1: The parents when the kids are crying, are they like
Speaker 1: laughing hysterically or are they concerned?
Speaker 3: Yes, dude, literally everyone. I haven't had a bad interaction
Speaker 3: the parent after a show ever. They always like super
Speaker 3: grow but their kids are like crying.
Speaker 2: The dad's always for it.
Speaker 1: You know. That's awesome, man, that's awesome. Do you man?
Speaker 1: So you you learned a lot about dinosaurs doing this
Speaker 1: and this and this. How often are you doing this?
Speaker 1: Because you do two jobs? How often?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I work.
Speaker 3: I work Monday through Friday, my main job, and then
Speaker 3: on just Saturday and Sunday I work at the dinosaur park.
Speaker 2: And I've been doing that every single week for the
Speaker 2: last like.
Speaker 3: Quite a while.
Speaker 2: It's like my workout for the whole week.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, Seth, I also wanted to you
Speaker 1: you this none of this has anything to do with
Speaker 1: what you actually texted me to talk about.
Speaker 3: Do you want to.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, absolutely perfect. I was having happy to talk
Speaker 1: to you about this stuff, you know, reptile the reptile. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so can I tell everyone what you know that you? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, Due in fact, you know what,
Speaker 1: there's I just gonna say, event I got a vent
Speaker 1: about this for like a second, there's a fucking one sorry,
Speaker 1: there's a fucking like one second delay between when I
Speaker 1: talk and you hear me, and when you talk and
Speaker 1: I hear you. And it's just and me fucking talking
Speaker 1: over the caller just all the time. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how to fix it. And I'm sorry if you
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast all the time and you notice it,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to fix it. I'm not good
Speaker 1: at tech things. I'm not. I just want to I'm lazy,
Speaker 1: and I just my own. My solution is me. My
Speaker 1: solution to this problem is to complain about it right now.
Speaker 1: And it just bothers the fuck enemy. And you know,
Speaker 1: me complaining about it has done absolutely nothing. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if you call into the show and we're talking,
Speaker 1: just I guess, wait a second before saying something, but
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it worse. I'll fix I'll fix it, seth,
Speaker 1: I'll fix it. Sorry. I see I need I need
Speaker 1: a dinosaur job. I need to vent out my I
Speaker 1: need to yell at some kids to vent my frustrations,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Bro pull up. I'll put you in a dinosaur.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll trade. I'll I'll trade you a gecko suit
Speaker 1: for a dinosaur suit.
Speaker 3: Oh man, the dinosaur. Who it's like a Mercedes. It
Speaker 3: costs like a Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Seth. That's us here that your mom stole your identity
Speaker 1: when you were younger and kept you from your family,
Speaker 1: and you're about to meet your sister for the first
Speaker 1: time next weekend. That's it's a left turn from the
Speaker 1: dinosaur stuff.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's so hard. I feel like a
Speaker 3: hard shift. I hope I'm not killing the vibe.
Speaker 1: Oh you are es?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah.
Speaker 3: When I was eighteen years old, I you know, started
Speaker 3: thinking about moving out, you know all that stuff, because
Speaker 3: I was excited to get in the world, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 2: I was ready like head first.
Speaker 3: But my mom started going like slowly nuts and I
Speaker 3: was like freaking out. It's like, why are you a
Speaker 3: coming like this? Like what's going on?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: I had a suspicion, right, and I was like, I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, I need to look into some stuff.
Speaker 3: So I started like going through the house, you know,
Speaker 3: finding stuff with my name on it, and there's like
Speaker 3: I saw like credit card bills in my name from
Speaker 3: like two thousand and seven. Right, I'm only twenty two,
Speaker 3: So how does that make sense?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So I keep going through all this stuff, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna download credit karma. Shout out credit karma for real.
Speaker 3: But I downloaded my credit report and I found out
Speaker 3: like this evening, right, this is like two days after
Speaker 3: I found out because I downloaded my whole credit report
Speaker 3: and there was a mortgage in my name, the two cars,
Speaker 3: and the fucking in the front of the house, like
Speaker 3: all this stuff was in my name. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous. So the next day I had like
Speaker 3: school or something, and I stayed home, right, and I
Speaker 3: searched the whole house and I found all this stuff,
Speaker 3: like five thousand dollars checks like from like twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: It's like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: So that night I started moving stuff into my bedroom
Speaker 3: like secretly, because I didn't own a lot of stuff,
Speaker 3: and everything I owned could fit in my room. So
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna move all my stuff in here and then I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna close the door when I go to school, right,
Speaker 3: And I did that, and then I moved out in
Speaker 3: the morning before she got up, but she like woke
Speaker 3: up and started tripping, and she like was like.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call the cops on you. And I was like,
Speaker 2: I'll call the cops.
Speaker 3: So I called the cops, and I was like, can
Speaker 3: this is me moving out of my house? Please? But
Speaker 3: the whole time growing up, I was like for little
Speaker 3: show kids, so she like used me as her icar.
Speaker 3: The thing like I happened to do all these shows.
Speaker 3: It's a whole nother wormhole. I won't jump into it,
Speaker 3: but performing you know, make my mom hayh.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: And you know, she never let me speak to any
Speaker 3: of my family. Like I knew I had family, and
Speaker 3: it tried to reach out, like through postcard and stuff,
Speaker 3: but she never let it happen. So years go by,
Speaker 3: you know, and and I get a message from my sister.
Speaker 3: Right She's like, Hey, this might be weird, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Your sister, and I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 3: So she's my half sister, right, I was never allowed
Speaker 3: to speak to my family. So my sister hits me
Speaker 3: up and she's like, she's like, hey, I'm your sister.
Speaker 3: This might son weird. So I get in contact with
Speaker 3: her and we started like talking and colling, and she's
Speaker 3: like tell me all this crazy stuff because she had
Speaker 3: like what I had happened to me by my mother,
Speaker 3: but like worse, you know. So I'm meeting her for
Speaker 3: the first time ever next month, and I'm very excited
Speaker 3: because I've never understood family.
Speaker 1: And how old is she? She's like late thirties now, okay,
Speaker 1: and you're only twenty two. Okay, so she was m hm.
Speaker 1: And you'd never met her before, So is she like
Speaker 1: now she eight Was she eighteen before you were? Was
Speaker 1: she eighteen and out of the house like before you
Speaker 1: were even born?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, no, because my mom didn't live where we're
Speaker 3: at now. She like lived by family and had an
Speaker 3: next husband and they had her and then she fled
Speaker 3: to Kansas.
Speaker 1: Mhm. And yeah, because when you said that you had family,
Speaker 1: so so growing up it was just you and your mom.
Speaker 3: Yep, it was just me and my mom all the
Speaker 3: time everywhere.
Speaker 1: What's your dad's deal?
Speaker 3: Well, so my dad died when I was four, So
Speaker 3: like we moved here and we lived in the trailer.
Speaker 3: But then the only can I tell you this, I
Speaker 3: don't want to sound like I don't want this sound
Speaker 3: too messed up, but the only memory.
Speaker 5: Feel comfortable here, Okay, cool, I'm an open book man,
Speaker 5: But the only memory I really have of him is getting.
Speaker 3: Zipped up in a body bag and that's it.
Speaker 2: H Yeah.
Speaker 3: So wait, like only four years old, so it was
Speaker 3: like just me and her the whole entire time.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I really want to say, so this is
Speaker 1: does the dinosaur suit kind of feel like a body bag?
Speaker 3: I guess so yeah, it really does. It's too hot
Speaker 3: and you're like, Jesus Christ give you but yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so it's just you and your mom. Growing
Speaker 1: up was that like tough.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like it was kind of bad.
Speaker 3: I mean, so we grew up poor, right, So we
Speaker 3: lived on this like rich side of town, but we
Speaker 3: were the one person poor in this small town. So
Speaker 3: I mean it did suck, you know, growing up like that.
Speaker 3: But then eventually we moved to the city that are
Speaker 3: job and it was like I had to do everything
Speaker 3: with her. It was crazy, Like, I know, people love
Speaker 3: their moms and I totally get that, but like there's
Speaker 3: an excessive amount of I need to be with you
Speaker 3: all the time twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: You know, Seth, I have to say something. For a
Speaker 1: guy who had a severe, fucked up upbringing, you are
Speaker 1: one of the most well adjusted people I've talked to
Speaker 1: on this show.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Man. I try, I really do. I
Speaker 3: just try and have a good day every day because
Speaker 3: tired of bad days.
Speaker 1: Man, when did what's your relationship with your mom?
Speaker 3: Like now, Oh, dude, I haven't spoken her since, Like,
Speaker 3: we don't talk at all. I haven't even I ran
Speaker 3: I saw her at PetSmart like a month ago, and
Speaker 3: I like, ran I was like, nope, not dealing with
Speaker 3: her crazy ass. And that was the only interaction since then.
Speaker 3: I didn't talk to us actors.
Speaker 2: So it's funny.
Speaker 1: Have you, like, were you able to with with a
Speaker 1: lawyer's help or with their you know, credit card or
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck it is? Like, were you able to
Speaker 1: fix all this stuff with your identity getting stolen?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it all fixed. I had to work
Speaker 3: with a firm on it. But it's like, if you
Speaker 3: you got like, just be so careful with your identity
Speaker 3: because it's not a slow process. I mean, it's not
Speaker 3: a fast process. It's like not so you'll have like
Speaker 3: if someone steels your identity, you know, and does all
Speaker 3: this stuff and doesn't pay on it or anything like, No,
Speaker 3: it's just not it's it'll just mess everything up. But
Speaker 3: if you work towards it, you can fix it. So
Speaker 3: but it's just a lot of work and just be
Speaker 3: careful with your identities out there for real.
Speaker 4: And you.
Speaker 1: Got away from your mom at eighteen, yep, what and
Speaker 1: she didn't.
Speaker 3: She didn't try to like come looking for me or anything,
Speaker 3: thank god, you know, a straight it was a hard
Speaker 3: cut off. And these pasts, I mean it did take
Speaker 3: a minute to just But these.
Speaker 1: Past like four years, how have they been for you since?
Speaker 1: Since getting away?
Speaker 3: You know, it's been pretty good, not bad at all.
Speaker 3: I I left and started the dinosaur park full time
Speaker 3: after this event had happened, right, And I was working
Speaker 3: there every single day of the week. And you know,
Speaker 3: eventually I moved on and got a different job. But
Speaker 3: and I started my own business for a while. I
Speaker 3: don't want to talk about what my business was, but
Speaker 3: it was it was a good business and I was
Speaker 3: making good money. And I was like doing really well
Speaker 3: for myself, just doing like these like archy stuff. But
Speaker 3: I don't know, I think it's been pretty good. I think,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't have any guidance in this adulting thing, really,
Speaker 3: but I feel like I'm doing a decent job.
Speaker 1: I really do this business. I know you said you
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it, but do you not
Speaker 1: want to talk about it when you the second? Here's
Speaker 1: the thing when somebody says I started a business but
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: they sold drugs. But then you were like it was
Speaker 1: an arts Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I made I don't know, dude, A lot
Speaker 3: of people knew about this, and these people like way
Speaker 3: this businesses ended was bad and that sounds crazy, but
Speaker 3: just like you, you make so much of something and
Speaker 3: there's somebody else who makes something, you know, and that
Speaker 3: person just like I don't know if they like screw
Speaker 3: you over, you know what I mean. Like we I
Speaker 3: was one of four people making these things, and it
Speaker 3: was like I was doing great, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: And then he started like just trying to slander me,
Speaker 3: and it kind of just I just dissolved my business
Speaker 3: and then I got a good paying job, but I
Speaker 3: don't know. It's a niche community, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I don't want to just in case.
Speaker 1: Dude, I uh fuck, I really I really want to
Speaker 1: respect you saying you don't want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: but I'm so curious what it is, you know if
Speaker 1: are you afraid that, like it's that the community is
Speaker 1: going to find that you talked about it on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's like these people were literally Okay, so
Speaker 3: I had customers, right, and I was making these things
Speaker 3: for these customers all around the world. I did stuff.
Speaker 3: I've sent stuff to Singapore to Australia. It's stuff people
Speaker 3: perform with, you know, that's yeah, just like stuff people
Speaker 3: perform with who were on stage. But I was making
Speaker 3: these and selling them all.
Speaker 2: Over the world.
Speaker 3: And then this guy like started lecturing me about all
Speaker 3: my stuff. And then he was like he pulled. This
Speaker 3: guy's just a kid. He doesn't know, he doesn't know
Speaker 3: anything yet, and I like that kind of insulted me,
Speaker 3: like and then it just like everybody started being like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not going to do business since he's just a
Speaker 3: kid all this stuff. I'm like, dude, what what Because
Speaker 3: everybody else who does it is not my age. Everybody
Speaker 3: else who does it is like they've been to college
Speaker 3: and they've done all this crazy stuff and they're like
Speaker 3: good at it through all the experience they've been through.
Speaker 3: But I don't know. People liked my stuff and I
Speaker 3: was doing well. But you know how that is when
Speaker 3: there's only four people in a bracket working each other.
Speaker 1: I guess, bro ah, man, that's a man. Fuck, that's
Speaker 1: such a bummer man, because like no, no, no, no, because
Speaker 1: fuck those people do because you start, you star, I mean,
Speaker 1: you think were your life is, from the way that
Speaker 1: you've told it so far, has just been you fighting monstrous,
Speaker 1: uphill fucking battles and then making something out of absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: And you're doing well, and just because you're young, you're
Speaker 1: still you're a smart fucking guy, and all these pricks
Speaker 1: are coming after you for no reason.
Speaker 3: Right, And it's like, I don't know, I still make them.
Speaker 3: You know, I have private customers that still kept in contact,
Speaker 3: people who I trusted and stuff like that, and I'll
Speaker 3: build them things and they'll buy some stuff, and it's
Speaker 3: like it's nice, but just I don't know if I
Speaker 3: could imagine doing it back on the level I was
Speaker 3: doing it, like because I wouldn't make dude, I made
Speaker 3: so many of these things, like probably over a thousands.
Speaker 1: There are things people perform with. You don't have to
Speaker 1: tell me if you're really that afraid of these guys.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know what, if you think hard enough,
Speaker 3: you will know what it is they perform with them
Speaker 3: on a stage. I feel like this is like a
Speaker 3: clue game. Now comedians.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, you make microphones, so those I just
Speaker 1: want you Okay, hold on, I just say you know,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm glad like the chat, which I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing. But everybody was guessing butt plugs, and
Speaker 1: I was also thinking it would be something sexual, but
Speaker 1: which is stupid because that's.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But I don't think of dude.
Speaker 1: First, there's no fucking way that you're the that the
Speaker 1: microphone community is that niche. By the way, the people
Speaker 1: that make microphone there's there's like billion dollar companies that
Speaker 1: make microphones. They're going after you.
Speaker 3: Dude, these guys, what are you saying microphones? Yeah, I'm no,
Speaker 3: not microphones.
Speaker 2: Bro. Oh you didn't get it. You don't know what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Still, No, I have no idea what
Speaker 2: you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Funny guys, he's on stage.
Speaker 1: With their hand, Comedians comedians only use I mean, are
Speaker 1: you talking about comedians or clowns?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, It's just it's a type of stand
Speaker 3: up comedian that puts their hand in something when they're
Speaker 3: on Uh oh.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, Okay, all right, Yeah, I feel I feel
Speaker 1: bad because you talk about this and I coaxed you
Speaker 1: into telling us it's But I guess I'm also doing
Speaker 1: it because I did, Like I'm so fucking like a.
Speaker 4: Dude.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess I feel bad that I coaxed you
Speaker 1: into explaining what it is, but also like to fuck
Speaker 1: those people. You're a good fucking guy, and you should
Speaker 1: be able to make puppets if you're so damn desire. Yeah, brother,
Speaker 1: and everyone listen, look, I would look. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If the puppet motherfuckers come after you, if the puppet
Speaker 1: mafia comes after you, the listeners of the Therapy Eco
Speaker 1: podcast got your back. I don't know what that even means,
Speaker 1: so I shouldn't say it, but whatever that means, the
Speaker 1: puppet mafia, do you also all these like I'm I'm
Speaker 1: pissed off imagining all these just creepy old guys who
Speaker 1: make puppets just going after for no reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's okay, it's not the soft puppets.
Speaker 3: It's the traditional hard ones, right, the sculpted claim like mechanized,
Speaker 3: not like the simple muff like muppet ship if that
Speaker 3: puts in any perspective, because are.
Speaker 1: Those like are you into puppetry yourself?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am kind of in the poetry. I think
Speaker 3: it's pretty hard. That's why I was my mother's show
Speaker 3: kid for so many years. She was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: he has something.
Speaker 2: That's milk it.
Speaker 3: So I was doing like stand up, you know, like
Speaker 3: night bars when I was like thirteen with the puppet,
Speaker 3: and it's like, how why do you do this?
Speaker 4: Do you?
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm actually curious about this. Okay, So you
Speaker 1: were a shown kid for your mom, which I assume
Speaker 1: was like not a pleasant upbringing. But like, I mean,
Speaker 1: these days we.
Speaker 2: Had to go eat bring a puppet.
Speaker 1: Wait, what is that? Every time you had to go eat,
Speaker 1: you had to bring a puppet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's what I was doing, right, I was
Speaker 3: doing that as my show kid thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, like to make money to eat or like when
Speaker 1: you were going out to a restaurant, you had to
Speaker 1: bring a puppet.
Speaker 2: It was like mandatory.
Speaker 3: I just had to bring a puppet every time because
Speaker 3: all she wanted was like attention brought, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. So it's like anytime I couldn't even go
Speaker 3: to like a faster place. Get in the court, like, dude,
Speaker 3: get over it. It sounds so crazy. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: I know everybody's like you, this.
Speaker 1: Is much, but what why are you so? This is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite calls of taking in a while,
Speaker 1: they'll be sorry, Well, hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think it sounds so crazy, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like, who I have never ran into
Speaker 3: this with somebody, you know, man, this is weird.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, I remember what I was gonna ask you,
Speaker 1: So okay, So obviously this was it was a shitty thing,
Speaker 1: your mom making you a show kid and everything. But
Speaker 1: like to this day, you as a twenty two year
Speaker 1: old and you do do puppetry. That's what you do
Speaker 1: with your dinosaur thing, Like do you have an independent
Speaker 1: desire to pursue comedy or puppetry or any of this?
Speaker 3: Well, see I did it for like ten years, like
Speaker 3: growing up because I started doing it when I was five,
Speaker 3: and I did it all the way to like, well,
Speaker 3: there's gonna be more than ten years probably, but like
Speaker 3: eighteen or seventeen right right until I moved out. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to just do stand up by myself.
Speaker 3: I feel like I could figure something out because I
Speaker 3: don't know. I've used puppet for so long. I'm by
Speaker 3: something different.
Speaker 1: You should, man, you should definitely try to and stand
Speaker 1: up if you want to. You, I mean, you're in
Speaker 1: let's see, I'm doxing, so I'm not gonna. I won't.
Speaker 1: I won't say where you live unless if you want
Speaker 1: to tell.
Speaker 3: Me, right, Oh, I live in Kansas. You can say that.
Speaker 1: Someone says someone said open for I shouldn't read the chat,
Speaker 1: but someone of the chat said open for Lyle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to open for me if I come to.
Speaker 3: Get a lile puppet going bro if.
Speaker 1: You if you make a there, if you make a
Speaker 1: therapy echo puppet and you have an act, you can
Speaker 1: absolutely open for me if I if I ever come
Speaker 1: to Kansas.
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, I'll just show up with it. I'll
Speaker 3: sit in the front road for you.
Speaker 1: Perfect cool man.
Speaker 4: So mmm.
Speaker 1: Hmm, I still have questions. I still have so many
Speaker 1: things I want to talk to you about. Did you
Speaker 1: ever enjoy any of the show life stuff or was
Speaker 1: all of it just like a a thing?
Speaker 5: No, some of it was really cool, Like some of
Speaker 5: them money, like like I usually didn't get to keep
Speaker 5: the money, but like if it was a special occasion
Speaker 5: and we did something like important, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: and we got like a paycheck for it, like sometimes
Speaker 5: I get the money.
Speaker 2: That was pretty sick.
Speaker 3: But that was like really my only like motivation other
Speaker 3: than hearing. Like after I do a set with this dummy,
Speaker 3: it's like all people like reacting a thing, you know,
Speaker 3: like clapping stuff like That's like that was a great feeling.
Speaker 3: That was very nice. So I look forward to that.
Speaker 3: But I don't know, just writing jokes was fun. I
Speaker 3: used to try and write my own jokes all the time.
Speaker 1: Uh do you still write jokes?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, so here this is recent, Like I didn't
Speaker 3: I haven't done these in a long time, but I've
Speaker 3: started smoking, you know, and then writing some jokes down
Speaker 3: on my notepad on my phone. I just start thinking
Speaker 3: and I'm like, this would be funny. So yeah, but
Speaker 3: they just closed their one comedy club here literally as
Speaker 3: I started this.
Speaker 1: So what can I hear? I know it's awkward to
Speaker 1: like do stand up in a non stand up setting,
Speaker 1: but I kind of want to hear one of these jokes.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I don't have anything ready yet. Man, No, you.
Speaker 1: Don't want to share a little notebook scribble? We could
Speaker 1: we could workshop?
Speaker 2: No, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, no worries. What about bar shows? Man? You ever
Speaker 1: every every everywhere has where in Kansas do you live?
Speaker 2: I live in, like the largest city?
Speaker 1: What's the largest? See? You don't have to keep giving
Speaker 1: me personal I'm sorry I keep asking for personal information.
Speaker 1: What's the largest city in Kansas? I was, what's the
Speaker 1: largest isn't it? What's the largest city in Kansas? I

Speaker 1: People are saying Kansas City. No, Kansas City isn't in Kansas.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, it's right smack in the middle almost.
Speaker 1: Okay, whatever, It doesn't matter anyway where if you live in,
Speaker 1: if you live in the largest city of Kansas, if
Speaker 1: you go on Facebook and you type the city name
Speaker 1: and like comedy, you'll find like a like a comedy
Speaker 1: Facebook group. Usually every big city is like a comedy
Speaker 1: Facebook group that like posts all the open mics and stuff,
Speaker 1: and you can get into the open mic scene. You
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need like a comedy club comedy club. You
Speaker 1: can always find the open mics at like bars and stuff.
Speaker 1: Would you ever do something like that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. I don't know why that didn't
Speaker 3: connect to my head for a couple of times thinking
Speaker 3: about this, but yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it's most
Speaker 3: there's a lot of musicians here, so it's like not
Speaker 3: not the musicians, not magicians, but musicians.
Speaker 1: I I fucked around doing stand up comedy and going
Speaker 1: to open mics and getting being in the scene and
Speaker 1: stuff for like six years before I started doing this,
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of fun. It's a great
Speaker 1: way to make friends. It's a great way to get
Speaker 1: in the community, you know.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, dude, Yeah, I want to. I'm definitely
Speaker 3: gonna look into it because I think I need to.
Speaker 3: I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Oh. One aspect of this of your story that I
Speaker 1: we didn't get to is you're meeting your sister for
Speaker 1: the very first time next weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I don't even know what to think about that.
Speaker 3: She seems really cool. Like we've been talking. I have
Speaker 3: an airbnb and going up there, so I'm spending a weekend.
Speaker 3: And man, I don't even know. She like kind of
Speaker 3: looks like me, and it's like crazy to see someone
Speaker 3: that kind of looks like you. But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited, but also nervous because I don't understand
Speaker 3: family feelings, you know what I mean. So it's a
Speaker 3: whole new world to me. It's like my world just
Speaker 3: got bigger, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So I'm hype.
Speaker 1: And you were told by her or that she experienced
Speaker 1: something very similar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So they didn't have the best relationship either,
Speaker 3: is what she told me. She's told me some like
Speaker 3: crazier stuff like being locked in the closet for hours
Speaker 3: type stuff, you know what I mean. So it's like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, Jesus Christ. So yeah, this woman's crazy,
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm so fascinated by how chill of a
Speaker 1: guy you are. Was with all this horrible ship that
Speaker 1: you've gone through.
Speaker 3: Well, I wasn't like this five years ago, man, dude.
Speaker 3: I literally was like so upset to the point where
Speaker 3: I had like really bad anger.
Speaker 2: As she used.
Speaker 3: So I literally just like I relaxing and doing things
Speaker 3: that I liked, and I'm just I'm gonna try to
Speaker 3: be super now. And it's like it's worked for me
Speaker 3: because I'm not yelling every single day now, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, I'm being productive and doing stuff, so
Speaker 3: I don't have a reason to be upset.
Speaker 1: M What do you want that of talking to your
Speaker 1: sister if anything? Like if the interaction, I.
Speaker 3: Just want, man, I just want to build the relationship
Speaker 3: with my sister, you know what I mean. Because I'm
Speaker 3: so young, it's like, why not really explore its out there?
Speaker 3: Why not see what this family thing is about and
Speaker 3: and reach out. So I'm I'm just hoping I get
Speaker 3: a good friend, you know, a good sister, Uh, someone
Speaker 3: who I can just like talk to a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of stuff too. I don't know, it's just so new
Speaker 3: to me. I don't I don't have a person to
Speaker 3: go tell all my stuff too. So I mean I
Speaker 3: have close friends and stuff, but nothing on like that
Speaker 3: kind of level, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask do you have your friends
Speaker 1: where you are?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I have a couple of close friends. I'm taking my
Speaker 3: friend is coming with me to drive to Omaha because
Speaker 3: I don't want to do all that driving by myself.
Speaker 3: I get bored.
Speaker 1: So you're bringing a friend with you to my friend
Speaker 1: eight years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she's like doing her own thing like that.
Speaker 2: So that's what we discussed.
Speaker 3: So she's gonna like go explore Omaha as well. And
Speaker 3: it's like pretty cool that, like, not only do I
Speaker 3: get to experience something, she gets to go see whatever
Speaker 3: she would like to go see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she gets to uh explore all there is to
Speaker 1: do and see. And Omaha, Nebraska, No, they actually have
Speaker 1: they have a cool aquarium. I think. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: they're known for having a cool aquarium. It's either them
Speaker 1: or Lincoln.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a zoo or something. I was reading that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, go to the I've heard the I've
Speaker 1: heard good things about the Omaha Zoo. I was. I

Speaker 3: super into making videos and I'm super into like building
Speaker 3: stuff and painting stuff. Like I just made like twelve
Speaker 3: abstract paintings like over the last couple of months and
Speaker 3: I just hang them up and everything. But I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's just like doing cool shit like that and like
Speaker 3: being able to help people, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Just not like helping them in like a therapy way,
Speaker 3: but like I don't know, if interactions are a lot
Speaker 3: with people, you know what I mean, if someone has
Speaker 3: a good interaction with you might breaking up their day.
Speaker 3: So I just like, I'm really just like trying a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of different things and you know, getting a
Speaker 3: creative hustle out here, making some extra cash from that,
Speaker 3: and maybe it'll go big one day.
