Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the episode. Hello, Hello, how
Speaker 1: are you good? I'm a gecko on the internet. It
Speaker 1: could be worse, absolutely positively, one hundred percent could be
Speaker 1: way worse.
Speaker 3: Well, I called because I wanted to recount and experience
Speaker 3: a recently I recently got out of a medically induced coma.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, you were in a medically induced coma? For how long?
Speaker 4: Yes? Six weeks?
Speaker 1: Wow, when did you get out?
Speaker 4: I got out of the coma late September. I had
Speaker 4: I got COVID in July, and I admitted to the
Speaker 4: emergency room on the thirtieth. And then midway through August
Speaker 4: becom me d coma took me up to what they
Speaker 4: call an XNOL machine. You see, M because my love
Speaker 4: stopped working. I had been vaccinated and boosted. But yeah,
Speaker 4: because I got a bat roll of the dice. M.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And uh So basically, the machine takes your blood out
Speaker 4: of your body and takes the CO two out and
Speaker 4: put sausage in in you can sit up and put
Speaker 4: it back in you. There were a few times I
Speaker 4: thought I was gonna die. I don't remember that because
Speaker 4: I was in a coma. But uh and then I
Speaker 4: was in the hospital until the end of December because
Speaker 4: I couldn't really move.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: After seeing all.
Speaker 1: Of that, have you ever I watched SpongeBob?
Speaker 4: Yes, I have.
Speaker 1: Do you know that guy talking about first they broke
Speaker 1: my arms and then they broke my leg. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about that?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of sound like that guy right now.
Speaker 1: I know that's insensitive to say, no, no, it's a
Speaker 1: good analogy. So hmmm, I'm kind of I'm very curious.
Speaker 1: Uh like, so you did you had no consciousness at
Speaker 1: all for six weeks?
Speaker 4: Yeah. And it also I guess this with your memory
Speaker 4: because I don't remember June or July and that was
Speaker 4: way before it was in the coma.
Speaker 1: Mm hm wow. Man, So when you woke up, how
Speaker 1: long did it take you to realize everything?
Speaker 4: Well, I had I had had a dream while I
Speaker 4: was in the coma that I had injured myself rock climbing,
Speaker 4: which is not something I do ever, So I don't
Speaker 4: know why. That's what my brain came up with. And
Speaker 4: that's when I woke up. Was are you guys gonna
Speaker 4: have to amputake my arm? Because I thought I had
Speaker 4: like mangled it rock climbing And she was like, that's COVID.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, okay, m hm. And then you know,
Speaker 4: I uh, you know, I was in the koma on
Speaker 4: my birthday and uh, like, I guess people came and
Speaker 4: like sobering my birthday when I was in a coma.
Speaker 1: That's that's uh, that's kind of nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I woke up when I woke up, there was
Speaker 4: still like this happy birthday banner and stuff, and I
Speaker 4: was like, I was like, I didn't realize it was September,
Speaker 4: and I was like, why is this Like it's still
Speaker 4: all like in my head, but yeah, yeah wow.
Speaker 1: Huh so uh, how as you woke up back in September,
Speaker 1: because this is a few months ago. Yeah, did you
Speaker 1: suffer any permanent brain damage from the coma?
Speaker 4: You know, well, that's a hard question to answer, not
Speaker 4: as that is what I've heard other people have suffered,
Speaker 4: but it does sometimes affect my ability to recall words
Speaker 4: like all usually haven't if I get kind of excited
Speaker 4: about something that I'm talking about, oh as, I will
Speaker 4: just lose the words I'm trying to say and like
Speaker 4: lose track of that entire thought. And I was going
Speaker 4: to disappear.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like so you you at some point
Speaker 1: in this you said you you thought you were going.
Speaker 4: To die, you know the doctor so I was okay,
Speaker 4: I totally unconscious.
Speaker 1: They didn't even know. Has this given you I'm curious
Speaker 1: overall what kind of perspective this has given you in life?
Speaker 1: Like have you are you take do you take anything?
Speaker 1: Away from this experience that you have installed into your
Speaker 1: programming or like, what do you what do you feel
Speaker 1: like this gave you perspective wise?
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like I just wasted a lot
Speaker 4: of time in my twenties. Mm hmmm, specifically at the
Speaker 4: job I was working at, and it's not really something
Speaker 4: I wanted to do, but I was, you know, I
Speaker 4: I was a mechanic. I was good at it, but
Speaker 4: I didn't like doing it. And so I'm definitely thinking
Speaker 4: about a clear change and I try to make every
Speaker 4: day do something memorable and important and so it's not
Speaker 4: just a waste of a day.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 5: Hm.
Speaker 4: I guess I haven't seen a lot of people in
Speaker 4: their twenties kind of a whole lot.
Speaker 1: So the Koma gave you some perspective on you feeling
Speaker 1: like you haven't been using your time as effectively as
Speaker 1: as you want. And it says you're thirty now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you turned thirty while you were in the candy
Speaker 1: Land or wherever you go when you get a coma.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I have a few dreams that
Speaker 4: I can remember from the coma.
Speaker 1: Can you tell us that.
Speaker 4: For sure? Yeah? The little wacky because of the drugs.
Speaker 4: The next one I'm render is after the rock Cluny incident,
Speaker 4: transported like air lifted to a hospital that was on
Speaker 4: a boat, like one of those giant shipping into airboats.
Speaker 4: They had turned it into like a mobile hospital or
Speaker 4: whatever isn't I don't know. And while I was there
Speaker 4: and they were like, you know, working on me, Satan
Speaker 4: was the captain like the boat, like you know that
Speaker 4: skiing red horns tail, you know. Satan, he h came
Speaker 4: and visited me and he's like, hey, I'm the captain.
Speaker 4: He had like a captain hat on. He's like, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm the captain of this boat. Like I know, I'm Satan.
Speaker 4: I got a bad rap and I'm trying to turn
Speaker 4: my life around. So I made this hospital boat to
Speaker 4: help people. And I was like, oh cool, thanks Satan.
Speaker 4: And he helped me with like physical therapy stuff because
Speaker 4: I like lost an arm in my dream and uh
Speaker 4: that one point they took like the insides of my body,
Speaker 4: like my got some hard and munkle and stuff and
Speaker 4: they took it out and they gave me like a
Speaker 4: you've seen Rick and Morty m you know, the the
Speaker 4: gear head. Do you as like a glass body with
Speaker 4: all the gears inside of it. I had a glass
Speaker 4: body like that with all my got some stuff inside
Speaker 4: of it for a while because they had to like
Speaker 4: fixed my real body or something. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I also had a dream. Oh yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Did this give you a greater appreciation for Satan?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean yeah. Think it's a bad rap, you know.
Speaker 1: Hm.
Speaker 4: I mean I had a grown up you know, until
Speaker 4: I turned about eighteen and like a very Jesus centric
Speaker 4: cults and uh, you know, so I kind of haven't
Speaker 4: been a big fan of Jesus since then, so you know,
Speaker 4: I'm down for down for some Satan.
Speaker 2: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: It's funny. They tell you that Jesus will come when
Speaker 1: you need him the most, but sometimes Satan shows up
Speaker 1: and I came in.
Speaker 4: He's he's doing the boat out there.
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's hard being the captain of a hospital on
Speaker 1: a shipping container. But if anyone can do.
Speaker 4: It, Satan, Satan. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Tell me about this other dream.
Speaker 4: Oh, I had dream with my sister that she produced
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, which is really weird because she doesn't
Speaker 4: like football and I'm not not a huge fan either,
Speaker 4: But it was like a really big deal and like
Speaker 4: a she got like super stressed out, but then she
Speaker 4: got to like do a bunch of cool stuff she
Speaker 4: wanted to do. Like one of her favorite bands is
Speaker 4: the Killers, and she like got to produce an album
Speaker 4: for them because she did the super Bowl. I'm not
Speaker 4: sure how that works, but yeah, I mean that those
Speaker 4: are the big three dreams. I mean definitely the most
Speaker 4: time air quotes because I don't know how long the
Speaker 4: dreams were the most. The one that took up the
Speaker 4: most time was the Satany boat.
Speaker 1: Uh, so you got to spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: with Satan.
Speaker 4: You know, he was around. I mean he's cutting in
Speaker 4: the ship, so he could be just like kicking with me.
Speaker 4: We did, we did.
Speaker 2: Hang out all.
Speaker 1: Did you learn anything about him that you didn't know?
Speaker 4: Uh, he's not got the cards, which I thinks, you know,
Speaker 4: like you can't point. I thought he would be good
Speaker 4: out of it.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 4: Not so in the dam.
Speaker 1: Tell me more back to Okay, you said you felt
Speaker 1: like you wasted a lot of life in your twenties,
Speaker 1: and then you had this coma which knocks you out
Speaker 1: of more of your life. And now you're awake and
Speaker 1: you're talking to a gecko on the phone about how
Speaker 1: Satan visited you in a dream. Ah, tell me, have
Speaker 1: you done any memorable You said, You're trying to do
Speaker 1: memorable things every day. How how is that going for you? Well?
Speaker 4: I'm learning had a toad, which is something I've always
Speaker 4: wanted to do but I didn't really have time. And
Speaker 4: now I'm on disability because I you know, I don't
Speaker 4: have all my physical faculties. Yes, so I'm learning that
Speaker 4: and that's a lot of fun and a yeah, someone
Speaker 4: I could deal as a job that I've always been
Speaker 4: interested in, you know, and I've really set aside time
Speaker 4: to learn m H. Also when I've always a dad
Speaker 4: with my friends, which is nice. I haven't done my
Speaker 4: first few years. That's great scheduling speak cold on pretty see.
Speaker 1: So uh, do you feel as though you're primed moving
Speaker 1: forward to not waste as much time as you felt
Speaker 1: like you were wasting before. Do you feel you're in
Speaker 1: a good yah to attack life better?
Speaker 4: Definitely? I mean I'm still working on getting like like
Speaker 4: range of motion and like strength back because the actresses
Speaker 4: from the coma, but like the more Stamini idea and
Speaker 4: the more like strength I get, I can you know,
Speaker 4: go through more stuff like I went on like very
Speaker 4: small hikes last weekend just to go out and be
Speaker 4: in nature, which is it was just fun, ye know.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, huh. Do you tell me about your friends
Speaker 1: and family. Do you live with anyone?
Speaker 4: Well, when I'm living with my grandmother, but I was
Speaker 4: living with the roommates before the come on, and it
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, I wouldn't have been able to move
Speaker 4: back even with them to say exciting more care than
Speaker 4: I'd want to put on my friends, you.
Speaker 1: Know, sure, yeah, yeah, huh, Well, I guess before I
Speaker 1: ask any more questions. Uh, is there any other aspect
Speaker 1: of this, uh that you wanted to talk about on
Speaker 1: here that that you feel like, is I don't know,
Speaker 1: and integral to your experience? No?
Speaker 4: Really only yeah, there's nothing. I mean, they thought I
Speaker 4: was gonna have to be on dialysis for the rest
Speaker 4: of my life, but my kidneys because they no mother
Speaker 4: when my kidneys just stopped working while I was in
Speaker 4: the coma, and uh, but I got functioned back full function.
Speaker 4: So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: In you know, hearing you talk about this stuff, it
Speaker 1: really is making me think. I'm like, man, I really
Speaker 1: do take for granted the fact that I have working kidneys.
Speaker 4: It is nothing. That's something I never thought about before.
Speaker 4: That's for sure.
Speaker 1: I say with full confidence that I have never I
Speaker 1: this is the first time I think I'm ever thinking
Speaker 1: about my kidneys. It is right here, right now.
Speaker 4: Tell me what it really sucks. Dialysis really sucks because
Speaker 4: I feel like taking your blood out of your body
Speaker 4: and you get really cold anyway, but you're also like
Speaker 4: sweating and then you're just you have no energy the
Speaker 4: rest of the day. It's like you're really taxing. Uh
Speaker 4: ordeal you wait to wait.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. You did have to do
Speaker 1: dialysis or you didn't have to do it.
Speaker 4: When I came out of a coma, for a few weeks,
Speaker 4: maybe a month, I was still doing dialysis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you doing it anymore?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: No, Before I even got out of the hostel, I
Speaker 4: was back to normal kidneys.
Speaker 1: Okay, good. You know what's funny. I was just talking
Speaker 1: to someone about this today. I was just thinking about this.
Speaker 1: There's this like conflicting idea in my head about comparison
Speaker 1: to other people and their problems, like like this idea
Speaker 1: that oh, well, there's you know, children starving in Africa
Speaker 1: there's you know, people whose kidneys are fucked up, so
Speaker 1: my problems actually aren't that bad. And there's two there's
Speaker 1: two conflicting thoughts I have about that. The one is
Speaker 1: that you know, everyone's problems are relative, and just because
Speaker 1: you know someone else has it worse than you doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that your problems aren't valid. And I think there's
Speaker 1: truth to that. But also, you know, look, there are
Speaker 1: children starving in Africa, and there are people whose kidneys
Speaker 1: are fucked up, and my kidneys are pretty good and
Speaker 1: I'm not starving, so you know, I should shut the
Speaker 1: fuck up and be happy.
Speaker 4: I think there's a balance to that, Like, there's a balance,
Speaker 4: but I think I think the.
Speaker 1: Understanding that things could be way worse I understand and
Speaker 1: why that's commonly looked at as a toxic thing, but
Speaker 1: it's also pretty fucking true.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean it's a good it's a good
Speaker 4: thing to like kind of, you know, realize that your
Speaker 4: phonems are real, but also like keep yourself in check, like, oh,
Speaker 4: I had a meal today and someone didn't, ye know, mhm,
Speaker 4: Or I could take a place today and somebody couldn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean, listen, after having gone through dialysis,
Speaker 1: and now that you don't anymore, do you on a
Speaker 1: regular basis, go, man, fucking hell, yeah, I'm not doing
Speaker 1: that anymore. Today is a great day just because I
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, every day at least, oh every day.
Speaker 1: See that's the thing, right, is every day you've got
Speaker 1: and tell me if I'm wrong, but every day you've
Speaker 1: got to have some kind of higher baseline of happiness
Speaker 1: just by the feeling of gratefulness of thank god, I
Speaker 1: don't have to do that shit anymore, you know, thank
Speaker 1: god I made it out of that coma. You know,
Speaker 1: you do you feel that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like my baseline for happiness is lower,
Speaker 4: Like I don't have to doudn't have to be like
Speaker 4: nothing crazy to have im Like if I can take
Speaker 4: a system like sleep.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good day, good day, great day. If you
Speaker 1: can take this and you go outside and your arms move,
Speaker 1: that's a great fucking day. I've really been thinking about
Speaker 1: this so much lately. It's it's it's you really do
Speaker 1: have everything you need to be happy, like just right
Speaker 1: in front of you. If you can the breathe and
Speaker 1: drink water and shit, you know, I'm really trying to
Speaker 1: bring my baseline. I'm glad to hear that your baseline
Speaker 1: has gotten lower. I'm trying to bring mine down as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I do it a hard way. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't recommend thanks homa mm hm, you know any worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't see myself going to a doctor and
Speaker 1: asking him if he could do dialysis on me just
Speaker 1: so that I can be just so I know how
Speaker 1: bad it could get.
Speaker 7: Although maybe, you know, maybe I will do that, you know,
Speaker 7: if I'm ever feeling That's what I should do. Next
Speaker 7: time I'm feeling depressed, I should go to a doctor
Speaker 7: and ask them to take all of the blood and
Speaker 7: piss out of my body so then I just.
Speaker 1: Know I know how hard it could really get. Yeah, James,
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure talking to you man. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you sharing all this stuff with us. Uh it's good,
Speaker 1: good good food for thought. Is there anything else you
Speaker 1: want to say to me or the people of the
Speaker 1: computer before we go?
Speaker 4: You know, have a good day, you know, remember, you know,
Speaker 4: think about all the good things you got. You don't
Speaker 4: know how long it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Here, Try to appreciate what's good in life and uh
Speaker 1: win in doubt. Hail Satan.
Speaker 4: Hal satin so yep.
Speaker 2: Hello, oh my god?
Speaker 6: Is this the gek?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who is this?
Speaker 6: This is Anna?
Speaker 1: Hi? Anna? How are you doing? Uh? You know, I'm.
Speaker 6: Pretty solid, just instacarting making some money right now? Life
Speaker 6: could be better.
Speaker 1: Okay, this caught my I here. Okay, I need to know, uh,
Speaker 1: what's going on? It you? Okay? You told the call
Speaker 1: screener that I saved you from being sex trafficked.
Speaker 6: Yes, you one percent?
Speaker 4: Did?
Speaker 6: I'm so serious?
Speaker 1: Okay? Let me yeah, I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 6: How okay, okay, I'll take you through it. So I
Speaker 6: called in about twenty one. I was like about this
Speaker 6: time of year, and I was calling because I was
Speaker 6: like in this relationship with this couple. It was like
Speaker 6: a I guess, like a thropple or whatever, and I
Speaker 6: like thinks it was very like weird.
Speaker 1: I remember exactly who you are?
Speaker 6: Are you being so for real? Shut up?
Speaker 1: I remember exactly who you are. You? Uh, were in
Speaker 1: a thing with this older couple that sounded extremely sex trafficking. Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: and your friends, niece and your friends told you not
Speaker 1: to do it, am I correct? Your friends were telling
Speaker 1: you to get out of there right, yes, yes.
Speaker 6: But like it was like I wasn't comfortable like really
Speaker 6: going into like whatever. Like it was weird, but it
Speaker 6: was like not weird enough to set off any alarms
Speaker 6: in my brain. So I was like, Okay, my friends
Speaker 6: they're like but you know, they're like they're looking out
Speaker 6: for me. They're gonna tell me to go the second
Speaker 6: that it seems weird. But at my head, I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: they're buying me stuff and life is good obviously being
Speaker 6: like woven into whatever trap they're trying to set for me.
Speaker 6: And then I told you about it, and you were like,
Speaker 6: at first you're like, well, this is not that weird,
Speaker 6: and I was like, okay, yeah, you're right. But then
Speaker 6: you were like, hold on, you're because they told me
Speaker 6: to go on a trip with them to Puerto Rico,
Speaker 6: and you said, do not go on that trip. This
Speaker 6: seems very now and not for your advice. Completely blocked them,
Speaker 6: like completely stopped seeing them. Yeah, and I he got no.
Speaker 6: And this is the kicker. The dude got arrested for
Speaker 6: false imprisonment among some other charges, and the people who
Speaker 6: are like we're in the social circle we're with, we're like, yeah,
Speaker 6: like he was involved with like sex trafficking. Like this
Speaker 6: is two years later that I'm just now finding this out.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, damn. You know what's crazy is I'm reading
Speaker 1: because you know, look, I just show up on this
Speaker 1: Twist stream and fuck around and say things, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I actually influenced decisions that people make. Mhm.
Speaker 6: See I can be like dead or worse st right now.
Speaker 6: So like, I just I'm so for real. I just
Speaker 6: wanted to say thank you because I respect the hell
Speaker 6: out of you and your show, but like, I'm so serious,
Speaker 6: like you saved my life, and thank you. I'm so grateful.
Speaker 1: Well, well, a couple of things, A couple of things.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your appreciation, but I think you and your
Speaker 1: own wits about the situation, uh, saved your life perhaps
Speaker 1: in talking with me, uh you know those those those
Speaker 1: were activated somehow. But you know, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you were the one that made this the
Speaker 1: smart decision to get out of there. So I hope
Speaker 1: you give yourself some credit for that. Huh. Okay, By
Speaker 1: the way, I totally I just I totally remember this.
Speaker 1: I don't know what episode it is or whatever. Somebody
Speaker 1: will find it, but yeah, I totally remember this call.
Speaker 1: How old were you when you called me? You were like,
Speaker 1: what was the how long ago is this?
Speaker 6: I was like I was fresh, I was like almost
Speaker 6: turning twenty and now I'm like almost turning twenty two.
Speaker 1: Wow. When is the last time you you saw this couple?
Speaker 6: I mean I saw them, like I'm telling you, like
Speaker 6: after that phone call and what you said about me,
Speaker 6: you know, activating and that makes perfect sense. But like
Speaker 6: I completely blocked them, like they would hit me up
Speaker 6: on other platforms. I just wouldn't talk to them, like
Speaker 6: just cold turkey. It was kind of hard because like
Speaker 6: not gonna lie, like the way they kind of approached
Speaker 6: me and would give me things, and I was a
Speaker 6: broach broke college students, like who wouldn't want those, you know,
Speaker 6: presents and gifts. So like I was kind of like
Speaker 6: sad to let it go, But now I'm so glad
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 1: Wow. Oh man, Well, I also I feel like I
Speaker 1: lost you a bunch of money, so maybe maybe that
Speaker 1: kind of it all balances out. I feel bad for that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh uh huh, I got a bone to pick
Speaker 6: with you though, Oh god, you were no, We're so cool,
Speaker 6: trust me to get you. You are always cool in
Speaker 6: my books. But coming to Atlanta. I'm from Atlanta and
Speaker 6: I'm so glad, but I'm studying abroad in Tokyo and
Speaker 6: you don't have a show in Tokyo. So like I've
Speaker 6: been like making these plans to go to all your shows,
Speaker 6: like I'll be in Tokyo when you're supposed to be here.
Speaker 1: Ah, it's a shame. Yeah. Well I did a show
Speaker 1: in Tokyo back in December. That was fun, but I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know if I'll ever do it
Speaker 1: again then maybe who knows.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, shit, why what you live in Atlanta? Just fly back,
Speaker 1: trust me.
Speaker 6: Looked at the point. Tickets not but I am going. Okay,
Speaker 6: all is not last. I'm going to the Greenville and
Speaker 6: North Carolina show.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, great, all right, so I'll see you. You
Speaker 1: definitely got to come on stage and we got to
Speaker 1: talk about this in person because this is fascinating walk Actually,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm well, I am for a but
Speaker 1: I want to know. I mean while we're on the
Speaker 1: phone together. Okay, so you called me two years ago.
Speaker 1: You were talking to this older couple. Fucking sketch as hell.
Speaker 1: We talked about it. He said, you're not going to
Speaker 1: talk to them anymore. Fucking found out the guy was
Speaker 1: a sex trafficker. That's insane. Where are we at now?
Speaker 1: What are you doing with your life? You were a
Speaker 1: broke college kid. You were relying on these folks for
Speaker 1: money and whatnots. What's going on with your life these days?
Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately, still a broke college student. But you know
Speaker 6: that's say, love you. But I am saving up to
Speaker 6: study broad in Tokyo right now. I leave pretty soonish,
Speaker 6: so I'm instakarting and doing anything I can to make
Speaker 6: money basically anything. Life is a it's okay someone, Oh
Speaker 6: my god, someone sorry? This is like so like what
Speaker 6: is it like off irrelated but unrelated Jesus Christ unrelated.
Speaker 6: But someone was gonna pay me a lot of money
Speaker 6: to like have sex with him and ship. But I
Speaker 6: was like, you know, knowing my luck with stuff like this,
Speaker 6: probably shouldn't but like it would have been my whole
Speaker 6: month's salary in like two hours.
Speaker 1: Well, Anna, I am honored to save you from being
Speaker 1: sex trafficked again by telling you to.
Speaker 4: Not do.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, yeah, I you know, at least I'd like
Speaker 6: to believe I'm not this naive, but like maybe just
Speaker 6: money is my weakness. Maybe money is everyone's weakness.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hmm. Look, well here's his thing. Here's look.
Speaker 1: Look I'll tell you this. Look, if you want to
Speaker 1: go do sex work and like, you know whatever, it
Speaker 1: is only fans or or I mean what I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, texting folks, you know, go for it if
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do, but just be safe.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess the kicker is I don't really talk
Speaker 6: to I mean, I can talk to a gecko that
Speaker 6: this therapy of mine about this. But you know, it's
Speaker 6: not like I don't want to ask the world about
Speaker 6: what any kind of ricrificulated this. But you know, it's
Speaker 6: one of those things where I'm just in a weird
Speaker 6: position of my life and we've all been there, or
Speaker 6: we just want to do anything we can because we're
Speaker 6: in our twenties and that's where I'm at right now.
Speaker 6: So I'm just trying to get the cash to do it.
Speaker 1: You know, on a you're you're you're a hungry hustler.
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to you're trying to make it
Speaker 1: big in this world. I I I appreciate that about
Speaker 1: you your and I remember I remember feeling this way
Speaker 1: when we talked for the first time, that you were
Speaker 1: you know, you had this Uh how what's what's vivaciousness?
Speaker 1: Maybe you could call it vitality for life? You want
Speaker 1: to get out there, you want to experience, you want
Speaker 1: to go, you want to do. Great impulses to have,
Speaker 1: but balance them out a little bit by uh you know,
Speaker 1: trying to build a bit of a better judgment is
Speaker 1: to what may or may not you know, get you
Speaker 1: in a bad situation.
Speaker 6: Is that I blame my Yeah no, that's Honeyson fair.
Speaker 6: I blame my undeveloped front a little bit time. I
Speaker 6: can give it three years and I'll be there. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I got to filter out but not so great ones.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: It's hard when there's a big pay attached to it.
Speaker 1: How is instacart going?
Speaker 6: Let me tell you.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you.
Speaker 1: Gek people.
Speaker 6: I will go around the grocery store. I'll get paid
Speaker 6: eight dollars to shop around for like an hour sometimes longer,
Speaker 6: and then deliver to people's houses and then it tipped me.
Speaker 6: But you know, it's kind of weird to tip on
Speaker 6: groceries because you're thinking well, it's not like a service
Speaker 6: you normally have. You feel like you have to tip,
Speaker 6: So I am here making nothing like Luckily, I've done
Speaker 6: this long enough. I know how to hustle and like
Speaker 6: get the best like jobs and find people who will
Speaker 6: tip more. But I swear it is so tiring. I mean, well,
Speaker 6: I know my way on a grocery store like the
Speaker 6: back of my hand now, but it just doesn't feel
Speaker 6: like it's worth it.
Speaker 1: You know, I can see being an instacarter and daydreaming
Speaker 1: about how much more lucrative prostitution would be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but be.
Speaker 1: Safe and U okay, don't do anything wild. Keep trying
Speaker 1: to you know, live a fun and good life. And
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, it might be more boring to
Speaker 1: do instacart, but at the end of the day, at
Speaker 1: least you're not in danger. And here's the thing is
Speaker 1: that if somebody kills you, you can't go to you
Speaker 1: can't go to Tokyo at all, You can't go anywhere
Speaker 1: ever again if that happens. So it's actually so your
Speaker 1: your own safety, so so looking after your own safety.
Speaker 1: It's actually part of fulfilling your vitality for a crazy life,
Speaker 1: because if you are are not safe and you die.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't do stuff. That's one of the parts,
Speaker 1: that's one of the tenants of death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, death is.
Speaker 6: Kind of permanent and irreversible, but it's coming.
Speaker 1: I get that well, and I well, I'll listen. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm like I said, I feel a lot worse after
Speaker 1: this call because now I'm realizing. Now I to think
Speaker 1: about all the people that I didn't save from uh
Speaker 1: impending doom by telling them that they should what.
Speaker 6: You said, Remember what you said. It was at the
Speaker 6: end of the day, it was my impulses and I
Speaker 6: did it myself. You can't blame yourself if you tell me.
Speaker 6: I can't say it's all on you. You can't say
Speaker 6: it's all on you as well, know what.
Speaker 1: Anna, God damn right. Everything everyone does is their faults,
Speaker 1: not mine.
Speaker 6: Hey, you're just a gecko on the internet.
Speaker 1: And is there anything else do I say to the
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, I've been so excited to do this. I
Speaker 6: have nothing planned, but I just want to say I'm excited.
Speaker 6: But yeah, just life, see what happens. Go at the
Speaker 6: slow chase that bag, but do it safely.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 6: For calling Anna, no problem, have a nice night.
Speaker 1: Egg trying to think of what I make of that.
Speaker 1: I try not well, I don't know, because I try
Speaker 1: not to tell people what to do. But I'm glad
Speaker 1: I told her what to not do so that she
Speaker 1: didn't get sold. I feel like that was a good
Speaker 1: thing to do. I'm still going to try not to
Speaker 1: tell people what to do, though.
Speaker 4: Holy shit, I think I'm on yep you are, Oh hey,
Speaker 4: what's up?
Speaker 6: While?
Speaker 4: How's it going going good?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 5: I'm chilling? I'm chilling. So I'm not going to waste
Speaker 5: your time here. I'm going to keep it real with Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I called today because I just review bomb the
Speaker 5: former employer, and now I'm kind of feeling conflicted about it,
Speaker 5: you know, because now they're taking in it as an
Speaker 5: affront that that, like my review is going to affect
Speaker 5: their family. It's almost like, you know, like sea otters
Speaker 5: and they're like, oh, don't kill me, predator, and then
Speaker 5: they put like the baby in front of it to
Speaker 5: try to get compassion.
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like.
Speaker 5: But I still stand by it.
Speaker 1: That's really that makes analogy. All right, tell me more,
Speaker 1: tell me what this business is tell me, uh why
Speaker 1: they things ended in such a way that would make
Speaker 1: you want to do this, and then tell me what
Speaker 1: your conflicting feelings are.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's a boba shop and I worked there for
Speaker 5: about a year essentially, you know, they started me working
Speaker 5: like really high hours and then slowly they started to
Speaker 5: drop down. Then they're like, hey, you know what, We're
Speaker 5: gonna make you a shift lead.
Speaker 8: I took it because I.
Speaker 5: Was like, hey, ray, fuck yeah, and then I was like, wait,
Speaker 5: this job fucking sucks. And I just kind of realized, like,
Speaker 5: I don't like any of my co workers. I don't
Speaker 5: like any of this. And then out of nowhere, they
Speaker 5: all started blaming me for like the for the store
Speaker 5: being super messy, and I'm like, my guy, I'm cleaning
Speaker 5: out here. Nobody else is cleaning, you know.
Speaker 8: So I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 5: So they took out down my hours more without telling
Speaker 5: me that was the reason why. The manager at the
Speaker 5: time said, yeah, so we're taking down your hours because
Speaker 5: we're training new stash. But then when I talked to
Speaker 5: the owner about it, he was like, they said it
Speaker 5: was because you're uncleanly.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what the fuck.
Speaker 5: So, you know, like I quit and h I've had
Speaker 5: a job now for about a month. And then I
Speaker 5: guess they've been getting a string of bad reviews. And
Speaker 5: my friend was like, yeah, they want us to write
Speaker 5: good reviews and they'll give ten dollars if we write
Speaker 5: like a five star review. And I'm like, man, that's
Speaker 5: kind of scummy. So I put a one star review
Speaker 5: and I put how like sometimes they still expired boba
Speaker 5: and I called it muck tea, not milk tea. And
Speaker 5: I even put it's almost like management pays staff to write.
Speaker 8: Five star reviews.
Speaker 3: And now.
Speaker 5: Now it's like because it's it's not like a corporation,
Speaker 5: it's like it's weird. It's like a franchise sort of
Speaker 5: a deal. So it's like family runs. It's like the
Speaker 5: worst parts of a family run corpse like business and
Speaker 5: the worst parts of the corporation in one business.
Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this thing about how they this thing
Speaker 1: about how they sometimes serve expired boba, mm hmmm is
Speaker 1: that true.
Speaker 8: Yes, I've got pictures of it.
Speaker 5: My friend like done it and I'm like, oh, that's
Speaker 5: kind of kind of icky. They sound like have you
Speaker 5: is there maggot, have.
Speaker 1: You had the bolba at the shop?
Speaker 8: I have, I have, but not when it was expired.
Speaker 5: I got it one okay, okay to eat it?
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it good and.
Speaker 8: Mid at best?
Speaker 5: And I don't say mid asan just like bad, I
Speaker 5: mean like actually like middle tier.
Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you this question. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do you actually think of this boba shop?
Speaker 5: I really don't like it. You know, It's I felt
Speaker 5: really dicked around the entire time I worked there. Everything
Speaker 5: there was a hassle, and I don't know, it's almost like.
Speaker 8: I feel bad for doing it.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it's therapeutics, both quitting and
Speaker 5: the bad review in a way.
Speaker 1: So my thing with the bad review is that, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you didn't lie. You gave, in my opinion, your honest
Speaker 1: review of this boba place.
Speaker 8: Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I don't think that you necessarily did anything wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, yelp ex was the fucking yelp. Yeah, I'm mean, look,
Speaker 1: yelp exists for people to come on and give their
Speaker 1: honest reviews of these businesses and products, and you gave
Speaker 1: an honest review of this business. Yeah, you didn't lie.
Speaker 1: I think if you if looks if these guys had
Speaker 1: kind of if you had lied about the expired boba thing,
Speaker 1: I would have thought that was fucked up. But it's
Speaker 1: the truth. It's the truth.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: It is true. It is true.
Speaker 1: And go ahead.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I already I already lost my train of thought.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this this this, this this company. Why here's
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. Why is this fucking bulba shop? Like,
Speaker 1: all right, they got a bad review. Why are they
Speaker 1: acting like it's the end of the universe for them
Speaker 1: and that they need to, you know, beg you to
Speaker 1: get rid of it.
Speaker 5: You know, that's a big question I've always had too
Speaker 5: because even like when I started working there, they're like,
Speaker 5: we got one one star review, guys, we need we
Speaker 5: need you guys to put a five star review, and
Speaker 5: we'll pay you fifteen dollars to do it. And it's like, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 5: what the heck it's just a one star review, you know.
Speaker 1: Like Jewish boba shop owners.
Speaker 8: No, they're Asian, but you know the way they handle
Speaker 8: their money.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's that's bad.
Speaker 8: I can't say that.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll give you. I'll give you the
Speaker 1: one jew pass that I can give you.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, Ele. They're they're they're a smidge
Speaker 5: jewy with their money, all right, they drastically underpaid everybody.
Speaker 1: Blow it down, my friends. You're taking the past too far.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's all right, Zach. Listen, Zach. Here's my thing, though,
Speaker 1: why do you keep like why are you fighting with
Speaker 1: these folks? You know what I'm saying, Like, what's the confence? What? What?
Speaker 1: At what point does continuing to engage with this conflict
Speaker 1: hurt you?
Speaker 5: I don't know, because you know, like, if anything, I
Speaker 5: almost feel like putting that review after the dust had
Speaker 5: already settled for me, already quitting, because you know, it's
Speaker 5: been like a few weeks since I quit.
Speaker 8: It almost feels childish to me, like.
Speaker 5: Why am I doing this? Why am I spending the energy?
Speaker 8: When I'm done?
Speaker 5: You know, And I'm kind of sitting with myself. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know if you've ever heard of
Speaker 5: Marcus Rellis's meditations, but there's some stuff I've been you know,
Speaker 5: looking at and thinking about and trying to apply to
Speaker 5: my life and I'm.
Speaker 8: Sitting here like, what is this adding? What is this
Speaker 8: adding to the world?
Speaker 1: I mean, the truth is, you know fucking nothing. You
Speaker 1: know you're engaging in this. I'man like, here's because you're
Speaker 1: you told the truth, which is why I don't think
Speaker 1: you did anything, uh necessarily wrong. But again, you fighting
Speaker 1: with this Boba store and you know, uh, you're familiar
Speaker 1: with the idea of something living in your head, had
Speaker 1: rent free that was going on here if you continue
Speaker 1: to engage in this conflict, and so look, if I
Speaker 1: were you, I I and you know, yeah, I h no,
Speaker 1: I love the stoic philosophy ship because yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is not adding anything to your life at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, So I would drop it.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think I'm gonna go with that, Lyle.
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna go with that. I think I
Speaker 5: think that's just it. I think I'm gonna leave it
Speaker 5: where it's at.
Speaker 1: Uh, is there anything else you want to say to
Speaker 1: the people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 5: Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 1: What that means? Okay, have a going man, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, no more, no more? Juw joke passes Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: who is this man?
Speaker 2: This is this is BeO.
Speaker 1: And what's what's going on with you?
Speaker 2: Be No, that's crazy? People, actually do you do? Sound different?
Speaker 2: That's crazy. But so with me, I would say I
Speaker 2: have this issue right now, a tough decision. So I
Speaker 2: do TikTok live streams and I tend to uh make
Speaker 2: out with an anime cutout of a Naruto character for like,
Speaker 2: like you know, shock value.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which way I should go with, Like,
Speaker 2: I get a lot of comments where you know, they're
Speaker 2: pretty uh, they're pretty harsh, and and I'm debating if
Speaker 2: I should continue on doing it for my tick talk career.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you make out with a cardboard cutout of
Speaker 1: a Naruto character for live streams, and you're speaking whether
Speaker 1: or not you want to continue doing it because you
Speaker 1: get a lot of negative comments and that makes you
Speaker 1: want to not do it. Yes, okay, so we know
Speaker 1: the reasons for you to not do it. What are
Speaker 1: the what are the pros? What do you enjoy doing
Speaker 1: about this that would keep you doing it?
Speaker 2: So the big thing is is that it makes a
Speaker 2: lot of people stop and like actually watch it. So
Speaker 2: I get a lot of views when I make out
Speaker 2: with the Naruto character. And it's also I find it
Speaker 2: kind of funny. There's a lot of people who you know,
Speaker 2: don't really like it, but that's part of it. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you do it because it's a little funny,
Speaker 1: and I agree, it's like, you know, it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: It's a little funny and it gets your views. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: so I I you know, look, I think you should
Speaker 1: keep doing it if if you enjoy doing it and
Speaker 1: if you think it's funny. I think it would be
Speaker 1: tragic of you to stop doing it just because people
Speaker 1: on the internet are saying that it's weird. I think
Speaker 1: that's not a good reason to stop doing something.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the big thing is is like they say
Speaker 2: a lot of things like like go touch grass, you
Speaker 2: get no girls, you're ugly, and like they even get
Speaker 2: down to the point where they're calling me like a
Speaker 2: pedal for it, even though it's like a character of
Speaker 2: age and it's cardboard.
Speaker 1: Okay, and so let me really bothers me.
Speaker 2: I hate that.
Speaker 1: S sure, I understand that. I mean, do like, are
Speaker 1: you self conscious about like that you don't touch grass
Speaker 1: or that you don't get girls? Or about any of
Speaker 1: these things that people are saying about you.
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm pretty like, well, I know I touch grass
Speaker 2: and get girls. So but it is annoying and it's
Speaker 2: hard for me to like do alive and not kind
Speaker 2: of start to get upset a little bit and get
Speaker 2: mad a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, well, well, all right, well listen, all right.
Speaker 1: You know that you get girls. You said it just now.
Speaker 1: You know that you touch grass. You know that you're
Speaker 1: not a pedophile, right, you know those things. You know
Speaker 1: those things very well. You're confident in them, right, So
Speaker 1: is it Why does it matter that you on the
Speaker 1: internet are saying anything about them? Lyle?
Speaker 2: Does it not hurt when you get like comments of
Speaker 2: like people like, oh my god, old man in a
Speaker 2: gecko costume, he's so lame?
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
Speaker 2: You know that doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you this man. I was thinking about that later. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you asked me that. I I yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: I I'm I'm very lucky that the internet is largely
Speaker 1: very kind to me. But yeah, I mean every every
Speaker 1: everyone who has ever done anything publicly on the internet
Speaker 1: has received negative comments. No matter what the fuck it is.
Speaker 1: Everyone who's ever put themselves out there in any capacity
Speaker 1: on the Internet has received negative comments, and everyone has
Speaker 1: their own kind of relationship with dealing with them. And
Speaker 1: I mean, here's my thing, is uh, I am trying
Speaker 1: over here, I am doing my damn best, i am
Speaker 1: putting on a gecko costume, I'm showing up, I'm talking
Speaker 1: to people on the phone, I'm posting it on the internet.
Speaker 1: That's all I give a shit about is that I tried.
Speaker 1: I gave it a shot. I got up out of
Speaker 1: my bed and put on the fucking suits and sat
Speaker 1: in the chair and did the thing. You got out
Speaker 1: of your bed. You decided, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to do something funny because maybe it'll make somebody
Speaker 1: else laugh. At the very minimum, it makes me laugh.
Speaker 1: And you tried, right, Yeah, So that to me, that's
Speaker 1: all that matters. And if people want to say things
Speaker 1: that are negative, people can say whatever they want about me,
Speaker 1: they can say whatever they want about you. But we tried,
Speaker 1: we gave it a shot. We could have not we totally.
Speaker 1: I totally don't have to be the hero. Totally don't
Speaker 1: have to be talking to you right now. You totally
Speaker 1: don't have to go make out with an anime character
Speaker 1: on TikTok. We don't have to do it right. We
Speaker 1: could have not done it, but we did it, and
Speaker 1: that's all that matters is that we gave it a
Speaker 1: shot and that and that's what I think about when uh,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody says something negative on the computer.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you're right about that. Uh yeah, you're definitely right,
Speaker 2: because it is everybody receives negative comments. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: I just got to learn how to cope with it
Speaker 2: or ignore it.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is uh, you know, this is a
Speaker 1: skill what you're doing here. I know it sounds like
Speaker 1: I'm saying that facetiously, but you're you are putting yourself
Speaker 1: out there. You are learning. You know what I've learned,
Speaker 1: I've learned to take the hit when I read people
Speaker 1: say things about me. I've learned to just take the hit,
Speaker 1: to just let it, you know, like suck it in.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, learn how to get punched in
Speaker 1: the stomach. You're tighten up your fucking gut and you
Speaker 1: just take the hit and it feels a little good
Speaker 1: in a weird way, to just be like I can
Speaker 1: I can take that. But I've been reading negative shit
Speaker 1: about me on the internet. You know, As I said,
Speaker 1: people are mostly kind, but I feel like I've learned
Speaker 1: to take the hit. So next time you see something negative,
Speaker 1: just learn to take the hit and realize that what
Speaker 1: you're doing every time you read a negative comment and
Speaker 1: you don't let it get to you is you're becoming
Speaker 1: more powerful at the skill of putting yourself out there.
Speaker 1: And that skill of putting yourself out there is just
Speaker 1: so fucking valuable because you can do anything with it.
Speaker 1: So continue making out with the anime cardboard shamelessly and
Speaker 1: just take the hits.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, I think you're right, probably for the most part.
Speaker 1: No, go ahead, what are you going to say? Are
Speaker 1: you gonna say?
Speaker 2: First? I was just gonna say, shoot, uh, I forgot
Speaker 2: what I was want to say.
Speaker 1: What you were going to say? That eventually you were
Speaker 1: you said, you said eventually, I blank.
Speaker 2: Yes, eventually I think I'll become numb to it probably,
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it would come to that.
Speaker 1: That's when you become that's when you start to have
Speaker 1: a superpower that you can use for you right.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, so that's what you have.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not perfect, you know. I'm sure people
Speaker 1: say things that I'm like, you know, I'm getting better
Speaker 1: and better at taking the hits. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: I have the superpower, but I'm I'm with you. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get there.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, sweet, Yeah, we can do it together.
Speaker 1: What's your TikTok.
Speaker 2: Uh? It's vibeing with bino so b I b I
Speaker 2: n w I t h b E n oh.

Speaker 1: Let's see what am I actually think about negative comments
Speaker 1: on the internet. I don't know, I'm not, by the way,
Speaker 1: I just want to clarify something because I feel like,
Speaker 1: just now I maybe painted an unrealistic portrait because Bino
Speaker 1: said he was like, I was like, I said, it
Speaker 1: becomes a superpower, which I do believe, and then he
Speaker 1: was like, so that's what you have. I just want
Speaker 1: everyone to any anytime this is. This is to me
Speaker 1: the danger of getting too advicey on here, which I
Speaker 1: don't like to fucking do, but I do anyway because
Speaker 1: I just get lost in it or whatever is I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not. I don't say this ship from a
Speaker 1: point of I've mastered it. I would like to think
Speaker 1: I've gotten decent at doing what I was just talking about,
Speaker 1: taking the hits when people say shit about me on
Speaker 1: the CA It's certain thing certain things that it's like,
Speaker 1: it's certain things that I don't care about and certain
Speaker 1: things I do. It's the things that i'm the most
Speaker 1: that I'm the least self caught, Like if I'm not
Speaker 1: if I'm not self conscious about something and somebody said
Speaker 1: like if somebody says like the gecko got really fat,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't. I know, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1: But if someone says like, oh, the show is bad
Speaker 1: or this or whatever, then it bothers me a little
Speaker 1: bit because whatever I wanted to be good. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I you know, what I
Speaker 1: cling to in those moments is that I have tried,
Speaker 1: so whatever if it was bad that day, at least
Speaker 1: I woke up and did something. And that's so that's
Speaker 1: what I cling to. But I'm not a a a
Speaker 1: master by any means of any of the fucking things
Speaker 1: that I tell people about on this stream. I am
Speaker 1: merely a geck in the computer.
