Speaker 1: to describe what were some of the biggest messes that

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: you encountered.

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so I was a sub This was about I

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: want to say, like ten years ago. Nine ten years ago. Uh,

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: they shut down one of the restrooms and so I

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: got there, I got my keys. They're like, okay, here's

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: your map. It was my first time at the school,

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: so I had to get acquainted with where all the

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: supplies everything was. They're like, oh, by the way, we

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: want to let you want we want to let you know.

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 5: We shut down.

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: The boys' restroom and I'm like, oh okay. They're like, yeah,

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: you got a little surprise in there. I'm like, all right, cool.

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: And so one of the og custodians, I forgot what

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: he called it. He had a certain name for it.

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: But it's where they they'll get a shit and they

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: use it as a marker and they'll just write whatever.

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: And then mind you, these are elementary school kids, and yeah,

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: just some of the things. Some of the things they

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: put is like how did you, for one, know how

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: to spell this? And then for two, they kind of

73
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: got lazy with it, and like they're running out of

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: running out of ammo with it. So they just kind

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: of started just spreading the shit. Literally, it was pretty horrible.

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: And that was my first time at the school. That

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: was my first time having a cleanup like that, and

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: uh yeah that that fucking sucked. I wanted to leave.

79
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to leave. But uh yeah, so, I mean

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: there's that the junior high.

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Hold on what what what did they write with this

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: ship marker?

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: I don't remember the teacher's name for the ship marker,

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't remember the teacher's name, but they wrote one

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 2: of the teachers is a bitch. And then uh they said,

86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: I forgot the principal's name, fuck so and so, and

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: then uh, mind you that side of the school was

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: probably like the first or second grade side. So yeah,

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: it was, it was. It was pretty Uh, it was

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. I'm trying to recall what else too. It

91
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: was it was like more than that. But then, like

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: I said, towards the end, it started just getting getting

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: a little uh they just got lazy with it and

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: started wiping it. And yeah, that was fucked up. That

95
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: was pretty fuck.

96
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

97
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of depressing that at the It's kind of

98
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: sad that at first they were, you know, putting some

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: kind of artistry into it and then they just got

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: lazy and started smearing the ship everywhere.

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: No, yeah, it was definitely, uh, it was definitely pretty crazy.

102
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: But uh, junior high kids, it's they'll go in uh man,

103
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: So how do I put it? They'll get like we

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: call them a barbie box and that's where they get

105
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: the uh how do you put it? Like like basically

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: like you know, like the pads or whatever, you know,

107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: use pads and they'll go and and fucking slam them

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: up on the mirror or slam them behind the uh

109
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: like the stalls the door, so you wouldn't even know

110
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: it's there, but if someone sat down, they're just staring

111
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: at this frightening, bloody mess. It's it's pretty crazy. So

112
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: there's like different protocols you have the queen because it's

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: different disinfectants and and whatnot. At the same time, they're

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: not trying to get you know, anything on yourself either,

115
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: so it's pretty uh pretty crazy.

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: What's the absolute worst thing that you have seen in

117
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: your ten years?

118
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: Ah? They like it's a reverse waffle stump of a vent.

119
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: So there's like a vent above the big handicap stall

120
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: and it's like a gritted vent and someone just got

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: like a patty of ship and just chucked it up there,

122
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: and uh that was pretty uh pretty nasty and we

123
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: had a Yeah, that was that was that was pretty fuck.

124
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: That was probably the worst. You have to take off.

125
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: You have to see the vent off and there's only

126
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: so much you couldn't get on the vent, like you know,

127
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: so you have to like physically take it off. And

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: then whatever's inside the walls of the duct cleaning that

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: as well.

130
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Oh you know, I have a lot of respect for

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: you because the second I saw that, I probably would

132
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: have quit.

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, uh yeah, I thought about it. There's

134
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: times and then uh yeah, I I honestly there's times

135
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, I should have done something different in

136
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: my life, but you know, I'm trying to make money,

137
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: trying to you know, live. But uh, there's I've heard stories,

138
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: There's there's were stories and stuff I've come across, so

139
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: I know, I don't got it so bad.

140
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: What is it that kept you going for the entire ten.

00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Years aside from money? Family? Family?

Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, basically, you know i'd say that, yeah,

144
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: there's Daisy coming. It's like you know, crazy, it's just small.

Speaker 2: Hanky in the year and all, and like you'll just

147
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: come across different ways to you know, work, work smarter,

148
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: not harder. You know, I'm not trying to like physically.

149
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: But there's other dudes too there. You know, they don't care.

150
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: They'll just like double glove it, grab it and then

151
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, jumping down the toilet or whatever. I'm just

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160

154
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,440

155
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: to the high school, junior high is kind of bad.

156
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: High school and college is worse though.

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: So as the kids get older, the ship and piss

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: mess uh messes actually get worse.

159
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: Oh definitely colleges. I mean you you go to a

160
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: fucking Walmart. You know, you go to a random Walmart somewhere.

161
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: It's horrible there. That's another thing is I've I've come

162
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: across because I when I go on life, I'm on vacation,

163
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: whether it be a hotel, wherever I go, you know,

164
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: you go travel. And that's another thing is I'm looking

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: at cleanliness of everywhere that I go, especially like the

166
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 2: whole COVID and everything kind of kind of made it

167
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: crazy because a lot of how I put it, a

168
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: lot of supplies they give us new, different stuff, new chemicals.

169
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: They had like some backpack you'll see at like baseball

170
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: games and stuff you put like a solution and you

171
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: got to like sanitize ship during a whole col It

172
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: was crazy, you know. But yeah, it's pretty you know,

173
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: it's pretty pretty good ship some days and ship the

174
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: other days. It's pretty pretty cool, pretty chill.

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 6: You know.

176
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: Do you ever are you ever on vacation or just

177
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of out and about in the world and you

178
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: see a horrible diarrhea mess all over the stall and

179
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, thank God, I don't have to

180
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: clean this one.

181
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah no, yeah, definitely. I feel definitely feel bad for

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: whoever has to ah blessed their little spirit. But uh, yeah, no,

183
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty it's pretty crazy. I feel like not

184
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: like put it on the spot, but you know, like, uh,

185
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: how do I put it? I don't even expect to

186
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: get a call, so I'm just like trying to think

187
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: of what else because there, you know, there's a whole

188
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff and a whole bunch of ship that

189
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: goes on.

190
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: But uh, I got to ask you this before we go.

191
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: Were the kids the kids themselves, were they dicks to you?

192
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: No? No, they're you know, they're they're pretty cool. You'll

193
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: see them. How's they go, mister Eric? And uh, you know,

194
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: they're they're really uh you know they're they're they're cool.

195
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: You know, the kids are cool. JUNIORI kids, of course,

196
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: they're you know, peop little. It's just like getting snotty

197
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: little shits. High school kids. Haven't dealt with high school kids.

198
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: But from what I hear, you know, some of them

199
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: are cool. Other ones they you know, glassholes. But I

200
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: guess it's on the on the parents too.

201
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever unintentionally created a diarrhea mess in a

202
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: public bathroom?

203
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: No? No travelers pills, man.

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: Traveler skills.

205
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: No, the traveler pills.

206
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: What are the traveler pills?

207
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: There's like traveling. Uh how do you put it? Because

208
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: you never know, you know, like you ever go on

209
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: a trip and it's like your stomach will just fucking

210
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: hit you. So if I go like long travels, I

211
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: don't like having stomach issues, especially because I don't know

212
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: the way restrooms are and stuff. I'd rather wait till,

213
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: you know, if I get to the hotel, and then

214
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: of course I keep like Clorox wipes or shit like that,

215
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: you know, because I don't of course they clean the

216
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: restrooms and stuff, but you don't know if they really do.

217
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Other people don't have the same standard of cleaning, you know,

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: so I just kind of I kind of don't, not

219
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: that I don't trust whoever's cleaning it, but you know,

220
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: you never know. You know, they can say they cleaned

221
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: it and you have no idea who's who's fucking using

222
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: it before you.

223
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that you will continue to be a

224
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: janitor or do you desire to ever transition in careers?

225
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 2: I have thought multiple times of pursuing like doing school

226
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: and then being on the other side rather than getting

227
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: cleaning classes is being on the other side of the defense,

228
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: because I've heard a lot of stories like that too.

229
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: I just don't like schooling, you know, I don't. For me,

230
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: It's like, how do I put it, I don't know,

231
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: just the focus. As a kid, I was pretty you know,

232
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: I was more focused, but as I got older, I

233
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: was just like school kind of I don't know, but

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: you know, I think about it. There's times I've almost enrolled.

235
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: I've thought about switching actually moving out out of a

236
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: like going to a different state and trying to find

237
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: something there, you know, and you know, something different. But

238
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: there's also managers. You know, you can get managerial positions

239
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: and you know they request at least ten years experience,

240
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: so had over over ten, about twelve.

241
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: That sounds now, that sounds fun. That's I think after

242
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: ten years of cleaning up diarrhea, you've earned the right

243
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: to tell other people to go clean up diarrhea.

244
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just takes the I'd say it's that taking

245
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: that step to just do it, growing up the set

246
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: and the same fuck it, you know, to to you know,

247
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: of course, pick up, move out, and then you got

248
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: to put away, you know, and then and then you know,

249
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: stack enough to bring family over and you know, so

250
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: it'd be about a two months solitude kind of arc.

251
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Being being we're we're talking about we're talking about like

252
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: being a manager of like a sanitation like thing.

253
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Like well yeah, because i I've found like

254
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: in different states, you know, they pay, they pay. I

255
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: mean I could find around here too, but it's just

256
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: you know around here is not so well. It just depends.

257
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, you go to a different state when you

258
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: have to travel, and you know, it's like picking up

259
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: and starting all starting all over.

260
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: But it's kind of you know, it's kind of cool

261
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have intel on which states in America

262
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: have the worst diarrhea.

263
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 5: Lay it out a map, you'll have a whole Yeah,

264
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 5: don't go to Texas.

265
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I've heard stories of barbecue.

266
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 5: What's your name again?

267
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,080

00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: was fascinating. I didn't know that you could do a

270
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: reverse waffle stop. That's something that you really need some

271
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: true malice to pull off. Is there anything else you

272
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: want to say to the people of the computer before

273
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,800

Speaker 1: How's how's your life? I'm actually feeling pretty nice right now.

292
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: It's always kind of our roll of the dice depending

293
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: on the phase of the moon, but in this particular moment,

294
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. What about what about you?

295
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: Sure?

296
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 6: You know lunar cycles, whatever transpires. Glad you took my call, man,

297
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 6: So I did follow you. I've been watching you for

298
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 6: a little bit.

299
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: I wanted to pose a question to you.

300
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, all right.

301
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 6: So I have the opportunity to go, you know, travel

302
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 6: the world, use disability finances and X y Z from military.

303
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: So I was just to give a little backstory.

304
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 6: You know, previous Special Special Forces got injured, got out.

305
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 4: Went to school.

306
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 6: Really hasn't been my things in tough going going back

307
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 6: for biology. So I kind of just want to go

308
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: travel the world. But my conundrum is if I go

309
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 6: travel the world in this crazy state that it's in,

310
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 6: I'll leave my family behind.

311
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: So it's curious, it's a year insight on that.

Speaker 6: boyfriend here left for him.

358
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,439

361
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: Doing my best left handed. I'm a right handed dude,

362
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,080

Speaker 6: and my best friend is out in Southeast Asia just

364
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 6: exploring like Nepal, Tyland, Vietnam, hitting all those spots, and

365
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 6: he invited me out there to go, you know, come

Speaker 1: So you're just gonna go and see what happens.

381
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 4: That's kind of my game plan.

382
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me get into your head about this, Like,

383
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,360

385
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Has family always been? Like I guess, I guess I

386
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: want to hear about like family is clearly important to you,

387
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, because if it wasn't, you would be gone.

388
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be calling a gecko to talk about this.

389
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: So you know what, what how did that come to be? Like,

390
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: tell me about the role of the family kind of

391
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: plays in your life, you know, throughout your life.

392
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: I guess that's a hard question. You know, I grew

393
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: up with five siblings.

394
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 6: You know, I got my hand me downs from my

Speaker 4: Look at them. Mhm.

407
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: It's it's it's a strange conundrum that I found myself

408
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: in that.

409
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,359

Speaker 4: So any day that I'm not in school, so I

00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: good reason. Crazy shit's going on in America. I'm sorry,

472
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 6: Am I allowed to say that crazy stuff is going on?

473
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

474
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: You can, Yeah, you can say crazy. You can say

475
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: whatever you want.

476
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 4: It's going on in America.

477
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, hmm, well, this could get very political, but what

478
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: what is it about America that you're trying to escape?

479
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 6: You know very well could and it could also get

480
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 6: very scientific, but which also, unfortunately is politicized. So I

481
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 6: don't know how much of that I'm allowed to disclose

482
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 6: with you.

483
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 1: Look, you can say whatever you want, but you know what,

484
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: we don't even really I don't even know if we

485
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: need to get into specifics because okay, okay, fair whatever,

486
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: who gives a shit?

487
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: Who cares?

488
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: No?

489
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel you too, I feel you too. I feel

490
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: you too. There's a lot of.

491
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 4: Uh thought, that's my same thought.

492
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of believe, there's a lot of reasons

493
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: to want to leave America for whoever you are. I mean,

494
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: why does it have to be so I guess what

495
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm lost on is why does it have to be

496
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: so dire? Like you can come back drastic? Yeah, you

497
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: can come back.

498
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 6: I guess I'd love to come back, you know, if

499
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: I sell it in a spot where it's.

500
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: Where it's the fuck that I want to be, and

501
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 3: it's not. It's just so detrimental the stuff that's going on.

502
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to participate in it.

503
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: You know, I say, like our tax dollars are going

504
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 6: into it, whatever.

505
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 4: It might be.

506
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: If I'm a non participant in that, you know, it's

507
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 6: like I hate to use this comparison.

508
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 4: It's like the matrix, right, you know, red belt, bluepill.

509
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 6: You can be ignorant and bliss or you can recognize

510
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 6: what's going on in non participant, be a non participant

511
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 6: in that fact.

512
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, M I don't know, man, I don't know that,

513
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: you know. That's why I'm calling to talk to somebody

514
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 4: about it.

515
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Sure, but I think I think we're getting I just

516
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: if I could say something, and this is just like

517
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: how I think about shit, and I might be wrong,

518
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: but whatever, I think it's more important to think about

519
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: you than it is to think about like society and

520
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: culture at large right now, right because what I'm hearing,

521
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: and I know that there's you have some cultural political

522
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: whatever hang ups with with America is a place that

523
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: you want to you know, not participate with you. But

524
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: what I'm reading more into this argument you have with

525
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: yourself about wanting to go and live your life for

526
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: yourself an adventure versus wanting to you know, be there

527
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: to support your family. Because both of those things are

528
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: very important to you. And yeah, so second, yeah, no,

529
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: you're right, correct, that's the hangoup. And so look, I

530
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: guess what. I guess I don't understand why. And maybe

531
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: it's the has something to do with the political cultural

532
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: hang ups that you have. But uh, I don't see

533
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: why this is a drastic, indefinite move. You know, you

534
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: you can go. Many people will go to Southeast Asia

535
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: for a month, two months, three months, four months, five

536
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: months and then come back. You know, it doesn't have

537
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: to be the most you know you can you can

538
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to live your life decades at a time.

539
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: You can do it a couple days, weeks, months at

540
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: a time. You know what I'm saying.

541
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 6: No, I totally do I get it. I'm concerned, Yeah,

542
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 6: concerned about you know what is the next decade, weeks,

543
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 6: months of you I mean even this current nation.

544
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 4: I don't want to get political with it. We already

545
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 4: talked about that. That's not.

546
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: It's yeah, well let's let's let's do here. Do you

547
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: you are you you're collecting disability money? How are you

548
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: making money?

549
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, that's correct. And then I collect money to

550
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: go to school? Okay, are you dropping out relatively handsomely.

551
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Are you dropping out of school?

552
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: I might transition to online to complete my degree.

553
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Cool. Yeah, and that you can do from anywhere. So okay, great,

554
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: So you're entire so you're in Thailand, you're living the

555
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: laptop lifestyle, as they call it.

Speaker 4: It's it kind of sounds like a sick life, right

563
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,160

Speaker 1: of telling people what to do or what not to do.

594
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:54,880

595
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: big adventure bug myself, and when I do that kind

596
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: of thing, I really do think to myself, like, oh man,

597
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: this is this is really just living your life to

598
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: the fullest, and if that's what you want to do,

599
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. Just to travel. It's

600
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: very scary, it's very scary to live your life to

601
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: the fullest in that way.

602
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: Do you what do you think about that type of

603
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: fear of the unknown.

604
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny that you're like a badass,

605
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: fucking special Ops guy and you probably could fucking kill

606
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: me by touching me, and uh, the only thing that

607
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: you're afraid of it's not you know, guys with guns

608
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: or big alligators, it's the unknown.

609
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's an interesting that's an interesting thought, right there,

610
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 6: Get go.

611
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: It's very it's a very funny observation, the fear of

612
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: the unknown. I don't know, man, I have a lot

613
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: of the fear of the unknown myself. I have a

614
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of the fear of the unknown myself. And I think,

615
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: here lately, here's how I've been dealing with the fear

616
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: of the unknown's if you know, I try to be

617
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: grateful when I'm facing the unknown, because well, a lot

618
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: of the fear of Like when I have fear of

619
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: the unknown and I'm like, oh man, life's been cool

620
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: so far. Is it going to stay cool or is

621
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: it going to suck? You know, it's either the bad

622
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: things that it could do is not stay cool and suck.

623
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: But I try to be grateful. Right, So I'm like, well,

624
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: even if the future isn't as cool as how things

625
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: have been, or if it sucks, it's like, well, I

626
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: got to have everything, I got to live everything that

627
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: was cool. I got to already have all these great experiences.

628
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: I got to have this time with my family, these

629
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: other good experiences, this time with my friends. I already

630
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: lived so much great life. So I'm grateful for whatever

631
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: great life I got to live. And so I'm not

632
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: anxious about whether or not there's gonna be more, because

633
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: if there is, then that's a beautiful bonus and I'm

634
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: thankful for it. But if there's never any again, then

635
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, I already already had my feel of life

636
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: being good.

637
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: You know.

638
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of that makes sense, but

639
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: that's one thing.

640
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: Can you yeah, can you? Can you like keep me

641
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 4: with bullet points of that? I get hit in the

642
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: head a lot. Can you hit me with bullet points?

643
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh God, bullet points of that. I guess what I'm

644
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: trying to say, in short, is that I'm grateful for

645
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: my life as it has been so far, right, and

646
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: so that makes me worry less about the future because

647
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the past and the present enough that

648
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: it quells my fear of the future. Does that make

649
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: any sense?

650
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: It absolutely does.

651
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 6: Do You you must believe in some type of defining power, then.

652
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't really believe in Not really, I don't believe

653
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: in God or karmic forces or any any kind of

654
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: higher power that exists to intentionally move things around to

655
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: make them the way that they are.

656
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 6: What about I mean, you believe in yourself, right, you

657
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 6: can move things around to make things how they are.

658
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I believe. I believe in myself in

659
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: terms of.

660
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 6: And not as far as it goes as far as

661
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 6: belief like what can change things?

662
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: It's just strictly your third dimensional entity.

663
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: No, it's well, I have a little bit of control,

664
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: and then there's a lot of other forces that are

665
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: outside of my control. And those forces outside of my

666
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: control are a little bit like God, you know, like, uh, okay,

667
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: the weather man is kind of like God. He controls

668
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: the weather. It is a control the weather, but I

669
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not in control of what I'm not

670
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: in control of what weather he reports. So I guess

671
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: that kind of makes him like God. Hm hmm.

672
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 6: You know your psychology I mean, if you want, if

673
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 6: you're gonna call it, let's call it.

674
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, ends up cool.

675
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna say, I was gonna say,

676
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: what about the unknown? Are you afraid of.

677
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: Failure?

678
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 4: To a chief? Potential?

679
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 6: Would be my greatest fear, And you know I can

680
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 6: smack mad potential here in the States if I really

681
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 6: sat down and like worked it.

682
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: I guess I'm afraid of real work. I just want

683
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: to do what I like doing.

684
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 6: And what I like doing is training and traveling and

685
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 6: meeting new people.

686
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: And Buddy, it's so yeah, yeah, yeah, Well finish your

687
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: thought before I interrupt you.

688
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 4: No, that was that pretty much?

689
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 6: Was? I like creaning, I like traveling, I like meeting

690
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 6: new people, and I.

691
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 4: Like I'm pretty much just experiencing the world as it is.

692
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: Buddy, I'm also having fun. I'm also afraid of not

693
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm also afraid of a real job. That's

694
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: why I'm wearing a Gecko costume right now and why

695
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm asking people to subscribe to my super cast accounts.

696
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: And I'm also afraid of not reaching my potential. And actually,

697
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: what I just told you, what about the whole being

698
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: grateful for the what I just told you about being

699
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: grateful for the past and the present has kind of

700
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: helped me quell my fear of not reaching my potential

701
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: because I can look at my past and my present

702
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 1: and be like, well, I did these things. I tried

703
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: in this way, I kind of gave it my all.

704
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe maybe in that sense, I did reach

705
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: my potential, you know, or does potentially even exist?

706
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 7: Right?

707
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: Or it is potential just like a completely made up thing?

708
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 4: What would mean potential is a made up thing?

709
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't, I don't, I don't know. These these

710
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: are not fully formed. These are not fully formed thoughts.

711
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: This might be just kind of a bunch of bullshit.

712
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: But with me, I kind of feel like with like

713
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: like say this right, like I'm I'm not in great shape. Okay,

714
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: So let's say I had the potent. Let's say I

715
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: have the potential theoretically to become an Olympic athlete, right,

716
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: But did I ever really Because at the end of

717
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: the day, there's certain and I don't know. This is

718
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: where I reconcile with like what what is and not

719
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: of my what is? And what is not in my control?

720
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: Right because at the end of the day, there's certain

721
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: fucking things in your brain that you don't really even

722
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: understand that ye have influence over you and the decisions

723
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: that you make and the way that you live your life.

724
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: And in a this is what's fucking weird to me

725
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: is in a way, like I do believe that brain

726
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: chemistry and just shit going on with you psychologically, in

727
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: your environment and whatever influence you to make the decisions

728
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: that you make. So in some way they are your decisions,

729
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: and you were in control of whether or not you

730
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: went out and became an Olympic athlete, but also in

731
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: some ways you kind of weren't. But the it's also

732
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: I get wrapped up to this because the more I

733
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: feed the side of my brain that I think I'm

734
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: not in controller, the more I feed that idea that

735
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm not in control, the more I get complacent and

736
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: want to.

737
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: You're not in control of it, than what is in

738
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 4: control of it.

739
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: I had no fucking idea.

740
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 6: Got to be subconscious. It's got to be some type

741
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 6: of chemical reaction. And if you break down chemical reactions,

742
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 6: what causes chemical reactions, what causes the mechanics, what causes

743
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 6: you know, micro electronic If you really break it all down.

744
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 6: I would you know, I hate to counter you on

745
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 6: this one. I feel like it comes down to creedive force,

746
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 6: a destiny, destiny, oh, like a god consciousness, Yeah, like

747
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 6: a god.

748
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: They could be there could be. I don't know.

749
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we've gotten I don't know either.

750
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: We've gotten so off track here, we're actually no, I

751
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: don't even think. I don't even I don't even know. No.

752
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: I totally take back what we said. I totally take

753
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: back what I just said. I totally regret saying that

754
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: just now. That's antithetical to how I feel about this

755
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: podcast because there is no track or whatever track we

756
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: were on was the track.

757
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: Okur, dude, this is a great combo.

758
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: So look, well you bought the tickets. That's awesome. Yeah, dude,

759
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: I think, I think. I think when you're when you're

760
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: fucking dying, I think you're going to be happy that

761
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: you left your comfort zone and went and to experience

762
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: the world. And clearly that's what you want to do.

763
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: You want you want to be out and about, you

764
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: want to be meeting people, doing things, awake, alive in

765
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: the universe. That's where you want to be, you know.

766
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: But the only to get you I'm the same way normally.

767
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 6: Concurrence is that damn my mom, like our whole family

768
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 6: had just lost a sibling to something stupid. I want

769
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 6: to man if I did that twice. That's my only fear.

770
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 6: That's my biggest fear. I don't care about if I

771
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 6: got eight by a great worshak. I don't care. Well

772
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 6: I'm surfing in Australia or got bit by snake in Thailand, Like,

773
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 6: I don't get it. But what I'm really worried about

774
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 6: is like, how is my family going to deal with

775
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 6: maybe two losses?

776
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 4: Because that's dangerous out there. It's not the.

777
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: Same as when you say, dude, when you say two losses,

778
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: do you are you referring to yourself, yeah, leaving America?

779
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: Are you are you referring to yourself leaving and not

780
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: coming back? Or are you referring to some possible danger that.

781

Speaker 6: knocked out of the game, Yeah eliminated?

783
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, well in that in that case, before you fucking

784
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: get in your car and drive down the street, you

785
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: could think that about yourself. Man, I mean you're gonna

786
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna die, and you could die. You could die

787
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: at home in America, or you could die in Thailand.

788
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: Damn, that's a good thing you could.

789
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize that's what you were talking about.

790
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: If that's what you were talking about, then that's you know.

791
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy. You have no control over whether

792
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: or not some random fucking thing happens to you that

793
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: kills you.

794
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's kind of why I say.

795
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 6: It always happens, and God hands I suppose I should

796
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 6: have died maybe three or four times already.

797
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 4: I know that's not your game, which is cool. I

798
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 4: won't push that. No politics, no religion will do that.

799
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 4: That's cool.

800
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: Doh well, I are you? Were you trying to say

801
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: that you feel like like God is watching over you

802
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that you don't die.

803
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 6: No, I just know that every single person has been

804
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 6: put here for a purpose.

805
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: And what do you think?

806
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: Dude? Who am I to say what my purpose is?

807
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, like, I have no idea,

808
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 4: not the chance do. My purpose for a little while

809
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 4: was to make people laugh with syd up comedy.

810
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 6: For a little while, it was to entertain people with

811
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 6: this with this TV show. From before that, it was

812
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 6: it was for a little while to entertain people with

813
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 6: an MMA fighting career.

814
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: Before that, it was I guess learning probably before that.

815
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 4: I don't know what my purpose is.

816
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: It's very funny to me that you're about my age

817
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: because you talk like you're forty seven.

818
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 4: Yamn. Is that good or does that mean closer to death?

Speaker 7: No?

820
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: No, I think, Uh, I don't. I don't know. I don't.

821
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. It's uh, it's cool.

Speaker 7: Okay, I will make sure my refrigerator is not running good?

909
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 5: All right, what's up man?

910
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: It says here that you wanted to talk about how

911
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: you feel like you're a hoarder.

912
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, so basically, I just collect anything that I get

913
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 7: my hands on. H I got a collection of those

914
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 7: stupid little five nettet Freddy's figures. I got little Minecraft figurines.

915
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 7: I got posters all around my room. I don't know

916
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 7: if you remember that one promotional item that McDonald's did

917
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 7: with that one clothing brand where they had the four eyes,

918
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 7: But I have all of those figures. I have a

919
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 7: box of Cause Cereal, I have a lot.

920
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a difference between just being a hoarder.

921
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a difference between being a hoarder

922
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: and just decorating your room with stuff that you like.

923
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 7: I guess so, but a lot of it is just unnecessary.

924
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 7: Like I have a collection of mountain dew bottles. Mind you,

925
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 7: they're filled with food coloring, so it looks like it

926
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 7: has the soda still in them, so it kind of

927
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 7: looks cool, but it's still just like garbage.

928
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: Would you consider those mountain dew bottles to be trash

929
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: or decorations.

930
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 2: Or memory a little bit of both?

931
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 7: Probably?

932
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 4: Mhm.

933
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: How many mountain dew bottles are sitting around your room

934
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: right now?

935
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 7: Are we going to count the actual bottles? Because I have.

936
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: What do you mean by actual bottles?

937
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 7: All right? So I'm I'm kind of addicted to mountain

938
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 7: dew as well as hoarding things. I have four separate

939
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 7: boxes of cans, a mini box of Baja Blast, and

940
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 7: eleven different bottles of just soda.

941
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: Are these like special bottles or are they?

942
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, these are these are limited? These are limited?

943
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: Okay? How many of the mountain dew bottles are limited

944
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: edition collectors items? And then how many of them are

945
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: just regular mountain dew bottles?

946
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 7: Technically all eleven?

947
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 4: Oh?

948
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 7: Wait, are we talking about the ones that are filled

949
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 7: with the soda or the ones that are filled with

950
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 7: the water?

951
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: How many of these are filled with soda? How many

952
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: of these are filled with water?

953
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 7: I have? Let me let me count them. Three, six, nine, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, seventeen.

954
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 7: I have seventeen filled with water.

955
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: Why do you have seventeen mountain dew bottles filled with water?

956
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 7: Well, it's it's color. It has food coloring in it,

957
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 7: so it's like it looks like the soda is still

958
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 7: in it.

959
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: Did you put the food coloring in it?

960
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 7: Okay, hold on somewhat, mister Annoy just said and how

961
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 7: many pisss? So I have a funny story with that.

962
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm getting sidetracked. There's a flavor where it's

963
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 7: lemonade and there's another flavor with peach.

964
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't like either flavor.

965
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 7: But when they're mixed together, it is very good. It's

966
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 7: like a peach lemonade and it looks like piss. So

967
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 7: I have an empty bottle of mountain dew with the

968
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 7: word piss on it, and I fill it up with

969
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 7: my like piss yellow soda flavor and it looks like piss.

970
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 7: I just thought it was very funny.

971
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: I think that crosses the line into hoarding.

972
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, see, I told you.

973
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: It was hoorting.

974
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: How hard would it be for you to throw these away?

975
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 7: Oh, it's gonna be hard because I have another.

976
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: Six I can.

977
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 7: I have another sixteen empty cans?

978
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: What do you feel like you have an emotional or

979
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: sentimental attachment to these bottles?

980
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 7: Not really, I could probably throw them out easy, But

981
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 7: my friend got me into it, so it's like kind

982
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 7: of like a duo, me and him. I actually went

983
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 7: to his house one time to try a flavor. He got,

984
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 7: like a birthday cake flavor, and it was like terrible.

985
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: I hated it. Do you think that your life would

986
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: improve with the absence of these bottles or is it

987
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: better with the presence of these bottles.

988
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 7: I mean, I feel like it adds character, But if

989
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 7: I stopped drinking the soda, it would probably be better.

990
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm not a nutritionist, but I think that's probably true too.

991
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, is.

992
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: There anything just while we're on the phone and you're

993
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: looking around the room, is there anything that you're like

994
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure you don't need that you can

995
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 1: throw away?

996
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 4: Hmm?

997
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 7: I'm looking around now.

998
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 4: I don't.

999
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 7: Actually, that's not true. I ate a whole bag of

1000
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 7: potato ships last night, can you think? Yeah? I just

1001
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 7: do way, I got a little case of the munchies.

1002
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: You just throw it away?

1003
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just threw it away.

1004
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 5: No more like just now, just now it's here.

1005
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 7: And listen, it's it's in the garbage.

1006
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 2: Don't worry.

1007
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: We made some progress.

1008
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 7: We're making progress. I don't see anything else. It's probably

1009
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 7: just little papers on the floor that I could pick

1010
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 7: up later.

1011
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: Tyler, you said your name was yep, mm hmm. Is

1012
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: there anything else that you want to tell me about this?

1013
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 7: So I wanted to get into this a little bit.

1014
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 7: I have a flavor, the birthday cake flavor. Yeah, I

1015
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 7: love riding my bike around a lot. It's like she like,

1016
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 7: my bike is my little baby.

1017
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: Mhm.

1018
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 7: So I ride my bike to a friend's house sometimes

1019
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 7: when I collect Mountain do with and we sit on

1020
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 7: this front porch like King of the Hill and we

1021
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 7: just drink SODA's. It's it's pretty chill.

1022
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: That actually sounds awesome.

1023
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really cool to see.

1024
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: Now that you told me that, I understand. Okay, now

1025
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: I understand why you keep the bottles because it's like

1026
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: they remind you of of this time that you have

1027
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: with your friend, Like like you were kind of explaining

1028
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: to me, it's like a it's like a thing with

1029
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: you and your friend. You're not just collecting trash around

1030
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: your room.

1031
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 4: No.

1032
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 7: And they're neatly organized too. It's not like they're just

1033
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 7: in some peep it's on a shelf and the all

1034
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 7: mice and meat. I could probably text you a picture.

1035
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll look at a picture.

1036
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh cool.

1037
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 2: I could just.

00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is my collection I have.

1040
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,920

00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: you have in this collection?

1042
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 7: I don't really know. Most of them are just filled

1043
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 7: up with water, so probably none of them the red

1044
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 7: Solo cup was the cake flavor.

1045
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,000

1048
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you in the back or fall because of

1049
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 7: their diet And I don't really care about diet.

1050
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: I like that the diets are like worthless to you.

1051
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a worthless well.

Speaker 1: Tyler, thanks for sharing this with me. Man, is there

Speaker 7: There's this kid in my school. His name is Paul.

1056
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 7: He's a really he's a really nice guy, and I

1057
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 7: just wish I was able to be friends with him,

1058
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 7: And I don't really know how I can be friends

1059
00:55:58,680 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 7: with him.

1060
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:01,359

Speaker 7: really nice. I just want to be friends with Paul.

1063
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: Why don't you invite him to come over to your

1064
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: house and look at your rare mountain dew collection.

1065
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea, all right? Thank you, Lyle?

1066
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. You made mine have a wonderful night.

1067
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 2: Wait a man better?

1068
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler, if you're still listening. Dude, If if, if,

1069
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,680

Speaker 1: me and my friends are going to go drink rare

1071

Speaker 1: Mountain dews on a stoop like they do in King

1072
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: of the Hill. Do you want to come? I would

1073
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: accept that invitation immediately. That's a good invitation to put

1074
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: out into the universe. It's a good activity to invite

1075
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: someone to. If I were if I were Paul, I

1076
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: would want to be a part of that activity. Hello, folks,
