<v Speaker 3>How did that?

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>How does that work?

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Like was Canada? Well, I'm not really I don't know

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>what I'm doing by saying that. Okay, so Canada started

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>out as like French people and then the English came

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and fucked them up? Or did it start out as

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>English people and then the French came and sucked them up?

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Who's there first?

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? We started as the French people came here and

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>then uh we went like from from Quebec to like Louisiana,

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and then the English people came in and you know,

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>war and uh I guess, I guess war and they

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to have like resources and stuff in there. Yeah, man,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.119
<v Speaker 1>we got fucked. We loved the war.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, you texted me something. I thought it was

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>very interesting. I wanted to talk to you about it.

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sure, So yeah, I'm a nurse, and yeah, you.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>You texted me. You texted me and you said, I

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>help people kill themselves via medical aid in dying. So

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you you help people with euthanasia and you said, quote,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the most beautiful thing you can experience. Tell me

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>more about this. I was fascinated by that.

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>So we've got here in Canada and Quebec, we we

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>have the thing called the Medical Aid in Dying. So

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>so basically you have to have a diagnosis of like

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe having like cancer or like you know, things like that.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And when you're like you have three months left to live,

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>like you have to know that you're going to die

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>in like three to six months. The doctors come in

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, oh, yeah, do you want to have

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>like like your tunisia like thing? You know. So so

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>we go there. I go there, I talk with the

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>family and the person and we signed paper. We get

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a date and and then yeah, man, you you choose

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the date. And it's it's different from like a palliative

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>care because when you have palliative care is like you're

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>on morphine, so you just get dazed out and you

0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>die like slowly. But when you have like the maid things.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You're fully aware of what's going on. So like you

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>have your date and your family member's friends and usually

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.239
<v Speaker 1>people do like a little party and you know, at

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock, we come in, we talk with you, we

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>give you the injection, and that's it. Man.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I have so many questions, but first I want to

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 2>know what these parties are like. Are is there music?

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Is there food?

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Usually people like to do like music and like

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>artist that they like, put it on TV. And they

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>have like a big buffet, you know, like like the

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>food that they like. And usually it's like I have

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen twenty people. That's the good people. But not

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the good people, but I mean the the people that

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>as like a big families. That's what it looks like.

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a party. It's what you can think of I

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like Thanksgiving or something like that.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>And I got the vibe at these parties. Are people

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>like dancing and they're happy or are they kind of like, oh,

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>our friend is gonna die.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>No, it's more like it's mixed because like people like

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Reminiscent a lot of like stories and you know, talk

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot about their their past. And one family, like

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I knew they were there like from six in the morning,

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and they all like went into the room of the

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>guy and they all like confessed everything to their father.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, like when I said confessed, it mostly

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sorry about what I did, blah blah blah.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Help you see you liked what I in my life?

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, yeah, that that one was a good one. Yeah.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember any particular confessions that people made on

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 2>their deathbed that stuck out to you?

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Not because I'm not there the all time. I'm mostly

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>there like thirty minutes before we give the injection, but

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I remembered not confession. But you know, sometimes like there's

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a there's probably madic because sometimes the people the guy

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>like the person wants to die, but some of the

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>family members don't want it to like they see it's

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>mostly in their religious people, like some of them, they

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>don't always accept the decision because some people see it

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>like as a suicide kind of like but you know,

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's more like of a value a value confrontation.

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, like it's hard sometimes for people to accept it.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 1>So I'd say the biggest confession I heard about was

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>like spinning money, was stealing money, wasn't big of a thing.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 1>But I can imagine that sometimes people tell other things

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>that they want don't want me or the doctor to know.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how old are these people? Typically? Are these elderly people?

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Or do you have any anyone come in there? Young?

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>The young Goods that I had was fifty two. Yeah, yeah,

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of kind of young. Yeah, how do people?

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>How do people? How do people feel when they're dying?

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Then they're usually when I was there, they're not scared

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>until we came in with the injection, you know, like

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>they're they're mostly they're not anxious. Their decision is made.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I guess I personally don't know anybody who killed themselves,

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but I feel maybe that's what it's like at the end,

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>like your your decision is made, you know what you

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>want to do, and like you're doing it. So so

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of calm through throughout the day and everything.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 1>But when we came in with the injection, that's when

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can they're a little bit stressed and

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>with the doctor and I'm the one that gives the

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>doctor the syringe. We have to do it fast because

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you started, there's no turning back, you know,

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>so so you don't want a guy to to like

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>mid mid syringe say oh stuff, I don't want to

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>do I don't want to do it. You know, they're

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>they're aware of it. When we started, it's like we

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>finished the session.

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's fucking terrifying.

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, but you know, the thing is the thing

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that is beautiful I feel is you know, Telliative Care.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you know anybody who like telliactive care.

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>That's the version where you just kind of like die

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>slowly in hospice.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Right yeah, yeah, exactly, No no, because that that thing

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and is hard. You know, I'm doing it at home

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and man, it's a it's an hard toll on the family,

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Like they have to give them the and you know,

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the people can be the person can be like like

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>three to four days unresponsive, but they're still breathing, and

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the breeding is like more like it's like they're they're

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>drowning in their own you know, water inside their their lungs.

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's not a beautiful experience from what I see

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>with the Maiden that it's more of like a celebration

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of life, you know, like they can talk to the

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>people still, and yeah, it's it's a beautiful experience. I

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't when I was set sick before when I started

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>doing the missile care. But and the first time it

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>was really weird.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I was there. The guy was around eighty eighty years

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>old and they didn't have grandchildren. And I go over

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>there and yeah, like a mementose and a lot of

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>narrotse thing and it was my first time and I

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was just starting tool and I was like, what the funck?

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>What am I doing here? Was weird? Yeah, M.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Is this a This sounds very Canadian. I don't think

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 2>this is something that is this not available in America?

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I know in someplace in Europe, like

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and Switzerland. I think they're doing doing it in Switzerland,

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but other than that, I don't. I don't know, man,

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that I know that we just did the first time

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>with the COVID this week, first time, not my not

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>here at my where I work, but in Canada we

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>did the first person who had a long COVID received

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the medical aid in death first time. So so you

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>have to have some criteria, but we're like, we have

0:09:54.640 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>some We have a democratic problem which people are an

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>older and they don't die. So I feel like the

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>government or like enlarging it to be like accessible for

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>more people right now?

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hmm yeah. Now if you were diagnosed with cancer,

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>would you want to go out like that? Or would

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to ride it out in the hospice?

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would do it like that. Yeah, I

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>would do it like that. I would do it. I

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>would do it like on a boat or something. Yeah,

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I would. Because tell yetive care is a is a bummer.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there's a lot of pain and everything?

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Where do you think we go after we die? Do

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>you believe in some form of afterlife?

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I would like to, but I'm

0:10:53.920 --> 0:11:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not convinced. Like there's a thing like, uh, when

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you don't believe in God. I know, I don't know

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the expression, but it's like when you're on a plane,

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>if you don't believe in God, well you're gonna believe

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>on God when the plane is going to crash, Like

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to find to think that there is very

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>there is somebody that can save you. So I don't know, man,

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I would really like to, but in the end, it's

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it's only like a d M T thing that I'm

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>buzzing find my own mind and I live for like

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>five years and and you know if that's I don't know, man,

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's something. I hope, I really do,

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I really do, do you.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Well? We have data, sorry, we have we kind of know.

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 2>We have experience not existing. For most of the time

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 2>we've ever not been. For most of all the time

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>that anything has ever been, we have not been. And

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>for most of the time that anything ever will be,

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>we will not be. So I assume that the most

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>of the time that will forever be where we will

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>not be is exactly the same as all of the

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 2>time that ever was when we were not right.

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, makes sense, makes sense.

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Tell me more. What's the most beautiful thing that you

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>have seen in uh? In helping people with this? Uh?

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>The beautiful the most beautiful scene I'd say that I had.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>It was like the guy was from Europe and then

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>he was in his house, but it was like a

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>big house and with a big in a big room,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and he was like downstairs, but he was looking upstairs

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and it was like, I don't know, there was stairs

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>over there, and there were like twenty people at the

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>top of the stairs and he was down downstairs with

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the doctor and when we started to give the injection,

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it was like, I feel like, I mean, what a

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>beautiful painting? He said, yeah, what a beautiful painting. Yeah,

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>he felt like and you know, it was like Europeans.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, like the the way he was

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>talking was like very philosophical, but I don't know, like

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the maybe it was the accent. I don't know, man,

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. It wasn't like my my weird accent.

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Wait wait you did you didn't like his accent?

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, it was a beautiful accent, like he was

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>talking in trench. But it was I think it was

0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>tweeded or something. So it was like, I don't know.

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It was like I don't know, like fine wine, you

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>know that there was something in his accent. So it

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>was beautiful when he said it. Yeah, and I try

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>most of the time because it's there's a lot of

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>emotion when you you're giving it. We and the doctor too,

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we have like a little watery eyes because it's

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a it's a good it's a special

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>jest or you know, it's a something. And they turned

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>gray fast, you know, like in they turned gray fast

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to that. That's one of the things that the family

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>tells us every time is they they are not prepared

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that in like two minutes they turned gray and you

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>know they're they're dead. That's it. It was talking like

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>five minutes ago.

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Their bodies turned gray.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, their bodies. Yeah, their bodies. Yeah.

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow yeah yeah really how how how long have

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>you been How long have you been doing this for.

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing it for a year now. Yeah. Before

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I was in a I did seven years in rehab

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and now I changed and I started doing this.

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Now. You say you cry after every time, do you think, yeah,

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 2>there will come a time if you continue to do

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>this where you will become desensitized to death and you'll

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>be putting a guy down thinking about what you're going

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to have for dinner afterwards.

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, yeah sure, yeah. Yeah. It's like like you

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>gets It's like you know when you start and you're

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in poop, like the first time you're cleaning somebody and

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh man, I'm cleaning poop. That's that's crazy,

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. I don't like it putting my hands in poop.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah good, Sorry.

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, sorry I was making fun of Uh.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>No, no, sorry, no, go for it and I don't mind.

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so I was liking ship. You know, the

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>first time you're like gagging and everything, and at the

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>end you're like, man, it's only poop. I don't give

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a ship about the ship. So I think I would

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>be like, like you said, I don't know what to

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>say it in English, but I won't be as much

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>as sensitive. But in the end, you know, sometimes you

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>get more attached of some people and the other you're like,

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it's only you're you're just giving them what they want,

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's part of the job. So yeah,

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure I think I will. But in the end,

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it's you're you're not doing this everye like every day,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>like maybe once every year, two or three weeks. So

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not you're left, Oh you're.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>So you're you're doing this once every two or three weeks.

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yep.

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And what do you do? What are you doing at

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>work when you're not doing this.

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm treating wounds. I'm treating like I'm giving them like

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>injection medication. Yeah, that's that's like maybe the one third

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>of my job. The other two third is I'm taking

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>care of people, you know. Yeah, so so mostly because

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 1>then here in Quebec, Canada. We have free health care,

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>but free health care also means the government pays for everything.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 1>And when somebody is in the hospital, it costs a

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of money, so they prefer for them to stay

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>at home. So that's when we get into picture, and

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it costs less money for the government for us to

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>go to their place instead of them staying in the

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the the hospital.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what was it like working in the rehab for

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 2>seven years? Was that more or less intense?

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Different? Man, because you have to do a lot of

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're one day I was doing rehab, but

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it was mostly people who had strokes and you know,

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>so like physical rehab, so people have to you know,

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to go from being like a perfectly healthy person to

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to somebody who can't control half of his body and

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>can't eat or can't speak or you know, they lose

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of autonomy. So it was different. It was

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>different because because half of the people, like they can't

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>go back home even when they're young, like fifties, that

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 1>those were the hard one, like in their forties or

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>fifties that have a big stroke and you know, can't

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>wipe their themselves anymore, you know, things like that. But

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the other for like people who who have like good

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 1>rehab and go back home and just like try to

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 1>start to be eating yelt again or you know, change

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of things. But yeah, that's it. It's different. Man.

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just I was doing I was there for

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>seven years, and Indiana I needed to try something else.

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, I can be in Mark Carr

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and listen to a gecko going to some place to

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>see a patience. So I can do that. I would

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 1>like that.

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>What's what's next for you on your journey? Do you

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 2>think you're going to stay in uh in in made

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 2>for for for for a long time.

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I can do another seven years. I think

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be I'm thirty one, so I started at

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty yeah, twenty four, so yeah, twenty two, twenty four, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>years and maybe I don't know, go work here with

<v Speaker 1>another doctor of some play else. I don't know what.

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Why did you why seven years? Specifically? Is that like

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the amount of time you're allowed.

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>To do it or no? No, I don't know. It's

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 1>just it's like the time I give myself to try

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 1>something to see if I don't know.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say, that's a lot of time to give

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 2>yourself to try something.

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:39.920

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>ever backs out and changes their minds.

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh, you, it happened one time. But let's say if

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>your date is like I don't know, the first of January,

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and you have three other times that you can like

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 1>postpone it. So if you're like going up on the

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>first of January and you're like, oh, I feel well,

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to try another three months, so you can't

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>do that. But usually when you're the when you can

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.360
<v Speaker 1>have the maid, usually you're not going to go over

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a year. So that's why I say, like, you can

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.199
<v Speaker 1>do it three times, but in the end you're going

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to die anyway, so there's no there's no miracle happening.

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>When when you're yeah, there's no miracle, people are going

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to die.

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I think I think people are wondering, like like like

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 2>as anyone ever like had the party and then the

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 2>guy comes in with the syringe and then the person

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 2>is like, wait, actually don't want to do this.

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, no, nope, never never never never no.

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good because that's that's well you kind of you

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of alluded to that happened and that was terrible.

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, it it happened. Uh no. I

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 1>had a case in particular. But the guy was like,

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna come like in the afternoon, and he

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 1>called us and said you wanted it to be postponed,

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>but in the same week you we came back because

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't well enough. And that's the other thing. If

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you want the maid, you have to be eligible. You

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 1>have to be You cannot have Alzheimer or something or

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>something like. You have to be aware or I don't

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>know in English. Fuck, you have to be like oriented.

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You cannot be. It's not somebody else that can take

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the decision for you, Like, if you have Alzheimer, you

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>cannot sign the paper, right, you have to.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Be I guess you would. I guess mentally competent would

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>be the word.

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Somebody said, uh, what's the worst part of the.

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Job, Uh paperwork? Wow?

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 2>If this man has a job where he kills people

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and the worst part is paperwork?

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, paperwork, man, Yeah.

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I bet you do need to fill a lot of

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 2>paperwork to kill people.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly yeah. Oh yeah, man. You have

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to protect yourself love.

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay. Final question. Do you enjoy maple syrup?

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, I do. Every day in my coffee, I

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>put like one third of maple syrup. I'm gonna be

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>diabetic pretty.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Sure because that try are you are you? Are you

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 2>being facetious or do you really do that?

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>No, for real, Yeah, every day.

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Every day you put I think whoever in the chat

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>was just whoever asked that in the chat was just okay.

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Whoever asked that in the chat was almost certainly just joking.

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And then they got the answer that you put it

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 2>in your coffee every day. You really put it in

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:10.880
<v Speaker 2>your coffee every day?

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, every day. Maybe not one third, but every

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>day I put coffee. I put it in my coffee.

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 1>And it's like I take like there is like a

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a batch that is more thicker, so it

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 1>tastes like a more and more sugar like, it tastes

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>more of a sugar. So this one I put it

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>in my coffee. And when it's more more of a

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 1>lighter maple syrup, this is the one that you put

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on like pancakes and everything.

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like you you'll take like Auntemima's and put it

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:41.359
<v Speaker 2>in your coffee.

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah how about Well it's not INtime

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>my mind. I mean it's the good stuff, like the

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>good stuff, the stuff you buy at the Yeah, no.

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 2>We get it. You Canadian, You're you're better than us

<v Speaker 2>kind of pretty much.

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>But no, no, no, no, no.

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm gonna try that. That sounds that sounds good.

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean I already put like, I mean, we're putting

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>crazy shit in our cough area. They were putting like,

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, frosted frosted doughnut Reese's creamer in our year.

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's the same fucking thing.

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I never went to Starbucks, but I heard

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>about pump pumpkin spice, So I mean, what's the difference

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>with you?

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks sucks? Even if if Starbucks ever came, you know,

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess like like I'd have to eat my words

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>if Starbucks ever wanted to sponsor the show or whatever.

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.679
<v Speaker 2>But you know, until then, uh, I say, of my

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 2>complete own volition, nobody paid. Dunkin Donuts is not in

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 2>my pocket. I have to say. I fucking hate Starbucks.

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I hate how I hate their price to food size ratio.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

<v Speaker 2>pop and they sell it for four dollars. It's one

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>bite a cake a slice for four dollars at some places.

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.360

<v Speaker 2>at the top of my list. You know, I would

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.600

<v Speaker 4>costumes and I looked at the I looked at the

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:35.720

<v Speaker 2>costume was only made to be worn one time and

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 2>then thrown away. So that's why these costumes like it,

0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I I've worn one of these, like, you know, fifty

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 2>times and it gets all fucked up and you know,

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:06.920

<v Speaker 2>I texted you, all right, it sounds like you. It

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 2>sounds like you have something you wanted to talk about.

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 2>So you go ahead and you tell.

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Me okay, so the yeah let me, well, yeah, let's

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 3>just do it. Fuck it forget. So when I was young,

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I've always had an interest in martial arts, and I've

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 3>always done martial arts as a kid, right, grew up

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 3>doing it. Dad put me in it, freaking did it

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 3>through school, joined the military, joined the Marines, got out,

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 3>and really started investing myself in martial arts. Right, I

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 3>started trying to do it professionally. I was training at

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 3>a gym, at a pretty high end gym too. There

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 3>were a lot of high level fighters that were there.

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how familiar you are with MMA, but

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 3>like Frankie Edgar was there, Edson Barboza was.

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>There as familiar with MMA as I look.

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough, fair enough man. So So I was dating

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:17.240
<v Speaker 3>this girl and she took an interest in martial arts

0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 3>as well, right, but she went to a different school

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.320
<v Speaker 3>than our own. Personal thing. I don't like having people

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 3>in my space, I'm doing stuff like that, right, So

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 3>she went to a different school, and long story short,

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 3>she ended up cheating on me with one of the

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 3>dudes there. Right, sucks huge balls, I know, through me

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of in for a loop, you know what I mean,

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of I don't know, kind of mess me up

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. But doing martial arts.

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Really helped me do that.

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 3>So there are local tournaments right for different styles like

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 3>jiu jitsu and boxing and boy Thai and things like that.

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 3>So instead of like acting instead of acting out, I

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 3>ended up signing up at every tournament that him and

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 3>his school went to with me and my teammates and

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 3>made sure that they never want to medal for the

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 3>next like two years. And then him specifically me and

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 3>him fought in MMA and in boxing. So I kind

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 3>of got my little like karate kid moment to kind

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:19.840
<v Speaker 3>of get my revenge and like, you know, like my

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 3>little Rocky Balboa karate kid moment, and like, I don't know,

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:27.239
<v Speaker 3>I always thought it was a funny way to kind

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 3>of like how it all played out was absolutely hilarious

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 3>and like a storybook almost, right, I think storybook was.

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 2>It you were trying to live out like like an

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 2>eighties movie where the guy steals your girl and so

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you challenge him to.

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 3>A duel, except I didn't challenge him. We would just

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 3>be there right, like the tournament you.

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Have to sign up. The way the way you phrased

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.400
<v Speaker 2>it was that you went out of your way to

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 2>make sure. Okay, that's yeah, that's like subjecting someone to

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 2>a duel more than oh yeah, yep.

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 3>It was more like, hey, I'm in your hood, you

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 3>better be here, right, Like.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, are you the same are I have a few questions?

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Are you the same weight class as this guy?

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, within we're within like ten fifteen pounds of each other.

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 3>So anywhere that he could go, I could go.

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Then when when you went to fight him, did he

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 2>know that you were? You were? You had? He this

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 2>his your girlfriend had cheated on you with him.

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 3>She He didn't know at first until like the fourth

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:34.840
<v Speaker 3>or fifth time that I like specifically ended up matching

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 3>up with him. Oh so like so the first two times,

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 3>the first two tournaments that I followed him to, we

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 3>ended up facing off early and I beat him whole hot.

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 3>I beat him soundly right, submitted him in the first one,

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 3>and then the second one, I beat him on points, right,

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 3>And so the second time when I beat him on points,

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I like completely held him down, dominated the whole round, giggity,

0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 3>but I like stepped over him kind of disrespectfully and

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 3>looked back at him when I was walking away. So

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 3>like his coaches understood, like, okay, there's something going on here.

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 3>And then when it happened again two more times, right,

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 3>they were like, okay, what is going on? And so

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:18.720
<v Speaker 3>my coaches start asking me like, hey, are you okay?

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you have like an issue with this guy? And

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I fucking do. So the next time

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 3>we can get into a boxing match, let me know,

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 3>so I can suck him up.

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you were you about? Are you about to go?

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Are you about to go tyson on him and bite

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 2>his fucking ear off.

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't going to bite his ear off, but I

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 3>did want to make sure that I wanted him to know, like,

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna be in pain, right, So, like and to

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:44.320
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a caveat, I'm not like this normally, right, marshal.

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Let's I'm very disciplined. I'm very like, you know, I

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 3>don't really do that. I don't go out of my

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.399
<v Speaker 3>way to fight somebody. This just kind of happened, like.

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 2>You wait, hold on, you just told me a story

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 2>about you, like veheomly going out of your way to

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>fight somebody. What do you mean you don't go You

0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 2>literally went out of your way to fight this guy?

0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:08.160
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about? It's fine. I'm not like,

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:10.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not like like whatever. I'm not judging about it,

0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 2>but that that's not a lie that you don't get it.

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 3>I guess, uh, I guess without provocation, right, without provocation,

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 3>I won't just go and be like, oh, I'm gonna

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 3>fight you. You know, I'm usually a pretty chill guy.

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 3>But in the UH, in the boxing match, I got

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 3>to train with a lot of cool people. I got

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:33.399
<v Speaker 3>to train with, uh this man named Mark Henry, who

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.399
<v Speaker 3>was one of the like a very high level Olympic training.

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:38.800
<v Speaker 3>He trained like the Olympic boxing team at one point.

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 3>So being able to train with him, and I was

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 3>learning so much and fighting him in boxing. I hit

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:47.959
<v Speaker 3>him in his rib cage and I felt his rib

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 3>move and then when he crumpled to the ground, it

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 3>was shaky, right like I felt my heart skip of

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 3>I felt my heart skip a beat, you know what

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean? Because I was like, damn, did he just die?

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 3>But like he was like just wheezing kind of hard,

0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:07.279
<v Speaker 3>and then I walked away. I got like I got

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 3>separated from him, right, and then he didn't get back

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:18.480
<v Speaker 3>up after that, so well, Jesus. After after I heard

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 3>he wanted to do an MMA fight. And at that

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 3>time I was one sixty one and I was fighting

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:29.240
<v Speaker 3>at one fifty five and he was like one seventy.

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:33.759
<v Speaker 3>So I just ate. I just ate like crazy. I'm

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 3>talking two breakfast is a day. I had a huge lunch,

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 3>a huge dinner, just so I could wake up and

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 3>be like one seventy.

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, you know, you know what I've been I actually,

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:46.400
<v Speaker 2>well I haven't been watching it lately. My friends showed

0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:49.359
<v Speaker 2>it to me and so I spent one evening watching it.

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 2>But do you know, do you know what st I

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 2>think it's called Street Beefs is your streets?

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll be honest, get I'm not a huge fan

0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:57.640
<v Speaker 3>of street beefts.

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well before we before we talk about it, Stree

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 2>is like, okay, I watched it once. Street Beefs is like, uh,

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 2>this back I guess it's a backyard. Mm A, yeah,

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no sanctions. It's but it's kind of like there's

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>a ring and you know, there's uh, I guess, respect

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 2>between the It's not like a street fight where it's

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 2>like two dudes who like got pissed off at each

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 2>other and started fighting it. But it is it's like

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 2>an organized fighting thing. And and yeah, well so a

0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:32.400
<v Speaker 2>why don't you why don't you like street beefs?

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Uh? The lack it's not even so much a lack

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 3>of skill or anything like that. It just seems a

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 3>little what's the word, like low brow, I guess, And

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean for a certain crowd, like, yeah, you love it, right,

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 3>you want to just watch people knock each other out

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 3>all the time, which cool, you know, But it's like

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 3>it's like watching bum fights. I remember like bum fights

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:53.239
<v Speaker 3>from back in the day.

0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, but but isn't okay. I don't understand though, is

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 2>well bum fights is fuck it's different because the those

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 2>are people fighting, like those would be like have to

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 2>fight for a money. But this is like a street

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:12.239
<v Speaker 2>beefs seems to me like two people who both like

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:18.399
<v Speaker 2>have invested themselves in the sport of boxing or MMA

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 2>or whatever the fuck it is and want to fight

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:25.239
<v Speaker 2>each other how But how is bottle? I don't know.

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm not defending anything. I'm just this is

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 2>just my way. But so, but like, I guess, is

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 2>that not when you're watching that ship and you're watching

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:38.880
<v Speaker 2>MMA where it's also like two guys brutally beating the

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 2>fuck out of each other and bleeding, is it? How

0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:43.719
<v Speaker 2>can one be high brow one below brow when at

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:46.919
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day it's both two guys who

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 2>have decided to fight each other beating the shit out

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 2>of each other.

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Well you could if you look at like the high

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:57.440
<v Speaker 3>level MMA guys, right, you can see some sort of

0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:00.560
<v Speaker 3>artistry there, and like, obviously you got your rawlers, you

0:41:00.640 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 3>got your like in guys who swings for the fences, right,

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 3>everyone loves that. But you also have mixed in like

0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 3>real artists, you know what I mean. You have people

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 3>who are throwing like crazy head kicks or crazy combos

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 3>and you woke them up, and you're like, I can't

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:14.800
<v Speaker 3>believe that.

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I've seen some I don't know, bro, I've seen some

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 2>art on street beefs. I've seen a dude like do

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 2>a roundhouse kick to the face, and I'm like, that

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:27.840
<v Speaker 2>guy practiced that this is like a skill that he's developed.

0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 2>They're not just you know, weighing it.

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 3>And it's just like the matchmaking also behind it is

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 3>kind of bad because you'll see a lot of one

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.399
<v Speaker 3>sided like fights and people getting knocked out. Really bad.

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:42.040
<v Speaker 2>No, but the one, but the one, okay, I I okay,

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 2>there's one fight that I watched. Oh god, yeah there's

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:49.400
<v Speaker 2>one I remember. I forget the name of the fighter.

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 2>It was like little something uh or baby something shit,

0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember his name, but I remember there's a

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 2>fight between this guy and like some other guy, and

0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the other guy had maybe an entire foot of height,

0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:09.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe even like a foot and a half a fight

0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 2>at Oh yeah, no, it was literally like a little

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:17.319
<v Speaker 2>mac fighting fucking king hippo or whatever. And the guy,

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the guy who was the tinier guy fucking won. Dude.

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.160
<v Speaker 2>He got he like and he was he did. It

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:28.839
<v Speaker 2>was like watching like you know, Shadow of Colossus, where

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 2>like the little tiny guy with the sword takes down

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.879
<v Speaker 2>a giant fucking dude. It was like watching a boss fight,

0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. And he got him onto

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the ground and he started beating him up and he

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 2>won the fight. So I was like, oh, Okay, I

0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 2>guess there's there's gotta be something to that. There's gotta

0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 2>be uh as this guy learned how to do this,

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 2>of course. Well here's another thing though, Here's another thing

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I like is I watched one of it was just

0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 2>these two guys. They're pretty equal and uh they were

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.919
<v Speaker 2>they were. It was a pretty brutal fight and they're

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 2>both bleeding at the end of it. But at the

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 2>very end they like they were like they were like

0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 2>uh uh. There was a lot of camaraderie, Like they

0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 2>hugged each other, they shook hands, there was very it

0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 2>was a very uh, brotherly kind of a thing. You

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 2>could tell these two guys, even though you just watch

0:43:22.280 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 2>them viciously hurt each other, that they like loved each

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 2>norm it was weird. It was interesting.

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Most combat sports, that's honestly the norm. You know, you

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:32.759
<v Speaker 3>get all that energy out and then you're dapping each

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:34.879
<v Speaker 3>other up at the end and shit's cool. Like it's

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:36.839
<v Speaker 3>a sport at the end of the day, right, So

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 3>it's just competition, so both people know, both parties know

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:42.480
<v Speaker 3>what they're doing coming in, so there's no real hard

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 3>feelings behind it, you know.

0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, I feel like okay to me.

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 2>But the biggest fights that I see advertised, like what

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, when uh on a Logan Paul fights Mike

0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 2>when Logan usually and usually any time I see a

0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 2>fight advertising, it's like logan Paul versus someone, and usually

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Logan Paul and whoever he's fighting hate each other, right,

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.080
<v Speaker 2>like him and Mike Tyson or whatever they're they're talking

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:10.759
<v Speaker 2>about a ship back and yeah, right, So I feel

0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:13.320
<v Speaker 2>like that, but like the biggest like like no, I

0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:16.400
<v Speaker 2>feel like, no, that's that's just that that just doesn't

0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 2>generate publicity. These two guys are really good friends and

0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna see which one's a better fighter. That doesn't

0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 2>generate as much hype. I don't think as these as

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.879
<v Speaker 2>as this guy's girlfriend cheated on him with this other

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 2>guy and now they're gonna fight.

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Very true. I get what you're saying, and like, as

0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:37.920
<v Speaker 3>a fan, I like both sides. Like I like when

0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 3>fighters can be respectful and I like when fighters talk

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 3>a little shit, you know what I mean? I like

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I like both. I'm on both sides of the coin,

0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:44.920
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean?

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Are you have you ever gotten into a street brawl?

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever? No?

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Not never in my life, I've never fought in the

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:53.080
<v Speaker 3>streets like that.

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:56.319
<v Speaker 2>That's good, that's good. Yeah, those those videos are sad.

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:59.720
<v Speaker 2>They're like street yeah yeah, street beafs is like okay,

0:44:59.760 --> 0:45:03.319
<v Speaker 2>these people like trained for this, they agreed to do

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.360
<v Speaker 2>it whatever, like just regular ass street fights that they

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 2>they're sad because they're they're there's definitely like exactly you know,

0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 2>legit like anger exactly there.

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. But to circle back real quick, like after the

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 3>like two jiu jitsu matches, he understood what was happening,

0:45:20.320 --> 0:45:24.680
<v Speaker 3>like he knew like he because she told him, because

0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 3>after I broke up with her, like she told him,

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.879
<v Speaker 3>And after the second like jiu jitsu match, he knew

0:45:30.920 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 3>what was happening. So him taking the boxing match and

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.279
<v Speaker 3>him taking the MMA fight, like he you have to

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 3>accept that fight, Like it's not like I just show

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 3>up and it's like, hey, peekaboo, I'm here, Like you

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.759
<v Speaker 3>know it's me. You have to train for me and

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 3>we're meeting together. We both know this, right, So.

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:49.319
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Very cathartic for me, right, And it was like one

0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 3>of the only times that I've ever had to that

0:45:56.760 --> 0:46:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I've ever experienced anything like that. You know what I mean, Well.

0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 2>How many times did you fight this dude?

0:46:03.080 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Five total, across three different disciplines?

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Did you and you beat them every time?

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Every single time?

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Gek, that's crazy.

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I was. I was in a different space, but

0:46:18.200 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, party like things back on it because

0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, go ahead, kind of petty, you know, now

0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:25.920
<v Speaker 3>you go ahead. You look it's like damn. Yeah, I'm

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:27.759
<v Speaker 3>like damn, it's kind of kind of petty, you know.

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:31.359
<v Speaker 3>But like, you know, I don't know what it was.

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, you know what, I want to get

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:35.680
<v Speaker 3>my feet wet in this, and this is the way

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 3>that I could do it, and I don't know, I

0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.120
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't have part of me things like, yeah, you shouldn't

0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:41.840
<v Speaker 3>have done that. You should have been a little more mature,

0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:44.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, better about yourself. But at the same time,

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 3>it's competition, fuck them trying to get my shit doing.

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:50.799
<v Speaker 3>But also yeah, like I should probably not be not

0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:51.680
<v Speaker 3>be petty like that.

0:46:51.960 --> 0:46:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, How many h How long ago was this? That's

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:56.359
<v Speaker 2>what I was gonna ask.

0:46:56.800 --> 0:47:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, this was definitely years ago, less than a decade,

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:02.520
<v Speaker 3>but more than about five years ago. I'm thirty five now,

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 3>so like, yeah, I'm thirty five. Now I'm a little

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.799
<v Speaker 3>too old to be doing all that. So like it

0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 3>was yeah, yeah, years years ago.

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, do you have a new girlfriends?

0:47:12.000 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I have a lovely girlfriend now. She's amazing, beautiful, funny, cute,

0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 3>but chaotic energy. You know what I'm saying.

0:47:18.440 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 2>That's wonderful. Did you meet her a hinge?

0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Actually? Interestingly enough, Yeah, the hinge thing was, all right, what.

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a picture of yourself like like shirtless

0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:32.520
<v Speaker 2>wearing boxing gloves on your hinge?

0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:38.279
<v Speaker 3>No? No, no, what really you don't, buddy, No, no, no, no,

0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 3>no no, because like it's it's kind of I don't know,

0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:45.600
<v Speaker 3>I've never seen anyone have that type of picture up there,

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.360
<v Speaker 3>And I personally like I don't want to be clown

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.960
<v Speaker 3>like that, you know, like not that I don't have

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 3>a nice body or anything, but I'm not too I'm

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:56.280
<v Speaker 3>a little self conscious about just showing it off like that. Sure,

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.160
<v Speaker 3>so I kinda like I don't do don't do that.

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 3>I had like military pictures and shit like that, but

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I never put like a shirtless picture or anything like

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 3>I never did that.

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Wall see. Okay, so you're more embarrassed of the shirtless

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:09.920
<v Speaker 2>boxing picture than of the military picture.

0:48:11.080 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, the military picture was me, like you, I was

0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:16.600
<v Speaker 3>holding like a fledgehammer, right, I think I like broke

0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:19.160
<v Speaker 3>open a lock, and my buddy like took a picture.

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.239
<v Speaker 3>There wasn't anything like crazy about the picture. It's just

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 3>me holding a sledgehammer.

0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:25.840
<v Speaker 2>You know that's cool. Well, you sound like a happy person.

0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, Gek, I really am part of it.

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:09.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think I could You don't think I could like

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:10.760
<v Speaker 2>hold my own.

0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:13.719
<v Speaker 3>No, I think you could. But like you're a nice guy,

0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:15.160
<v Speaker 3>and I don't like to fight guys. I like, you

0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean, Like you're a cool dude, and

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't like you know, I wouldn't have that energy

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:19.799
<v Speaker 3>towards you.

0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this real quick before we go. I actually

0:49:23.360 --> 0:49:25.240
<v Speaker 2>did box once.

0:49:26.200 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 3>How did you like it?

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So in the summer of twenty twenty one, I went

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 2>all around, uh the country filming footage for this like

0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:37.280
<v Speaker 2>documentary series that never what we never ended up actually making.

0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:41.960
<v Speaker 2>But uh, one of the things was that I boxed

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:45.040
<v Speaker 2>somebody in Denver in the Gecko suit.

0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:47.160
<v Speaker 3>How did it feel?

0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:51.440
<v Speaker 2>So? I was so initially with boxing, I was worried

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:53.759
<v Speaker 2>about getting hit in the face. That's what I was

0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:56.279
<v Speaker 2>most scared of. It was like, Oh, I don't want

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 2>to box this guy to get to get punched in

0:49:57.719 --> 0:50:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the fucking face. But what really? But and I realized, Oh,

0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the actual part of it that sucks is the stamina, yes,

0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:10.520
<v Speaker 2>which is and that's and I and I was I

0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 2>was actually blown away because like, you know, i'd be

0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 2>fighting a guy like we we're like, I would be

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 2>boxing for like, what less than a minute and we're

0:50:19.560 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 2>not It's not even like I'm not like doing crazy

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:23.960
<v Speaker 2>lizard moves. I'm not running in circles around him. I'm

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:29.520
<v Speaker 2>literally just standing in place or maybe like whatever. And

0:50:29.520 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 2>and afterwards I'm like, out of breath? Is this I

0:50:34.280 --> 0:50:38.160
<v Speaker 2>just like sprinted around the track or something. I thought

0:50:38.520 --> 0:50:39.759
<v Speaker 2>it was crazy? Like, how am I so out of

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>breath after not even moving?

0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Crazy?

0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah? Do I have any lizard moves? You gotta

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 2>fucking see me in the octagon to find that ship out, I'll.

0:50:50.520 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Fly out to Philly Post.

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I'm totally bluffing. I do not I don't

0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 2>want to go.

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:01.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm a nice Scott brother.

0:51:01.920 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's your name again?

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:05.520
<v Speaker 3>You can call me Ace?

0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Ace. Is there anything else you want to say to

0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the people of the computer before we go?

0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:13.239
<v Speaker 3>People of the computer, I hope you're having a great day.

0:51:14.160 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Hug your mom, drink water, try to do a kickflip

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.680
<v Speaker 3>bang bang bang bang. Thanks Tommy.

0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:31.799
<v Speaker 2>And that was the most Joe Rogan experience the conversation

0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I've had on this podcast. Hello, what is your name, sir?

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:42.279
<v Speaker 5>My name is Brett.

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:43.560
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? Brett?

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I'm kind of in an interesting situation here. So

0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 5>just for some context, I was raised very religious Mormon

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:58.480
<v Speaker 5>on my dad's side, and I am not myself. In fact,

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:01.319
<v Speaker 5>like growing up through life, I kind of learned that

0:52:02.520 --> 0:52:05.680
<v Speaker 5>not only am I not religious, I don't subscribe to

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:11.800
<v Speaker 5>their beliefs. I've also learned that I'm polyamorous. And it's

0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:15.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm thirty two years old now, and some

0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:19.759
<v Speaker 5>people know, my close friends know, my mom's side knows,

0:52:19.800 --> 0:52:25.480
<v Speaker 5>some siblings know, but I feel like largely the entirety

0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:29.279
<v Speaker 5>of my dad's side doesn't know. And I'm kind of

0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:32.399
<v Speaker 5>in this weird spot where like I want to tell them,

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:36.920
<v Speaker 5>because you know, part of living this lifestyle is, you know,

0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:41.879
<v Speaker 5>being your true authentic self, and but at the same time,

0:52:42.440 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 5>they just wouldn't get it. And I keep getting, you know,

0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 5>invited to a religious family gatherings and birthdays and whatnot,

0:52:50.480 --> 0:52:54.160
<v Speaker 5>and it's just so draining to want to decline all

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:56.799
<v Speaker 5>of them because I just had nothing in common with

0:52:56.840 --> 0:52:59.840
<v Speaker 5>any of them. So I don't know what.

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So let's start here. Tell me how the polyamorous lifestyle is.

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Go under you stoked about it?

0:53:07.800 --> 0:53:11.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm him with my fiance right now, we've been

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:16.040
<v Speaker 5>poll together. We actually discovered it together about three years

0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:18.480
<v Speaker 5>ago and going strong.

0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Very cool, And so I guess, like, are you afraid

0:53:28.280 --> 0:53:34.719
<v Speaker 2>that something particularly bad will happen if you tell your

0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:37.760
<v Speaker 2>dad that you are polyamorous?

0:53:40.160 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:53:40.560 --> 0:53:40.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:53:41.080 --> 0:53:44.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't actually know. So, like, you know, the Mormon side,

0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:48.440
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of them, right, My dad is one

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:52.120
<v Speaker 5>of nine kids, and each of those kids has kids,

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:54.520
<v Speaker 5>and some of those kids have kids, and it all

0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:58.160
<v Speaker 5>kind of stems from the empire that is my Mormon

0:53:58.200 --> 0:54:01.920
<v Speaker 5>grandparents who have a very who have a very hard

0:54:01.960 --> 0:54:04.800
<v Speaker 5>time understanding that anybody would not want to be a Mormon.

0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:08.799
<v Speaker 5>So it's kind of like, if one of them finds out,

0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:13.160
<v Speaker 5>all of them find out, and then I just, you know,

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:14.239
<v Speaker 5>I don't really at the end of the day, I

0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:17.640
<v Speaker 5>don't really care what each of these people individually think

0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:20.000
<v Speaker 5>of me. Yeah, but it's kind of it's kind of like,

0:54:21.680 --> 0:54:24.440
<v Speaker 5>am I ready for my relationship with twenty five people

0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:25.439
<v Speaker 5>to change all at once?

0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Let me this This might be kind of a redundant question,

0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:37.600
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's important. I mean, put, simply, do

0:54:37.680 --> 0:54:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to tell them?

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:46.359
<v Speaker 5>I I I would like to live in a world

0:54:46.400 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 5>where I'm not harboringing secrets, right.

0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:49.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it just it's free.

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:52.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't of course, I haven't told them yet because

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:55.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't really feel like they deserve or need to know.

0:54:55.920 --> 0:54:58.480
<v Speaker 5>But at the same time, you know, it's I'll get

0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:02.120
<v Speaker 5>invited to a family bird birthday and I just I

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:06.120
<v Speaker 5>don't want to go. I end up finding some excuse,

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:08.800
<v Speaker 5>and then it's the next time. Then I keep getting told.

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:10.640
<v Speaker 2>By that well look look, look man, so look I

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:13.440
<v Speaker 2>mean this, it's not like you're sixteen and you got

0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to harbor a secret or else you'll get kicked out

0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of the house. You know. Yeah, yeah, You're thirty two

0:55:17.640 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 2>years old, and at this point I kind of you know, I,

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I guess you have to ask yourself and you got

0:55:26.280 --> 0:55:30.440
<v Speaker 2>to think about, deep down if you would feel better

0:55:32.440 --> 0:55:40.400
<v Speaker 2>having told your dad that you are polyamorous. You know,

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.080
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I am I mistaken. I thought that

0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Mormons were polyamorous. I thought that was like the whole thing.

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, because I remember, because like I've done

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:51.239
<v Speaker 2>shows in Utah and talk to people and they're like, yeah,

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:55.080
<v Speaker 2>my dad has like six wives, and I'm like, oh,

0:55:55.160 --> 0:55:57.560
<v Speaker 2>because isn't that a Mormon thing? That wouldn't. I would

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.200
<v Speaker 2>think your parents will be proud of you for that.

0:56:01.440 --> 0:56:03.640
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of it's kind of you know, in the

0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:07.160
<v Speaker 5>deep rooted Mormon history it was a polygamy, not polyamory.

0:56:07.280 --> 0:56:10.440
<v Speaker 5>But but also, you know, when you start to look

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:12.200
<v Speaker 5>at a lot of the other things in the deep

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 5>Mormon history, a lot of it doesn't make sense.

0:56:15.040 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a that's an angle that you could do.

0:56:17.040 --> 0:56:20.560
<v Speaker 2>You could come out as polyamorous, but like present it

0:56:20.600 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 2>as if you're actually super fucking Mormon, you're even more

0:56:23.520 --> 0:56:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Mormon than them that you have multiple wives.

0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:31.120
<v Speaker 5>In fact, you guys can learn from me and my moreabilities.

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, look at.

0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It exactly, So you could look at it like that,

0:56:35.200 --> 0:56:41.279
<v Speaker 2>But look ultimately, I mean really, you know again, you know,

0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I really can't tell you what to do in this situation,

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:45.640
<v Speaker 2>but you kind of you kind of have the questions

0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:48.719
<v Speaker 2>that you got to think about, right, Yeah, which are

0:56:48.920 --> 0:56:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm thirty two, I have no way past having room

0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:57.600
<v Speaker 2>in my life for bullshit or caring about what other

0:56:57.600 --> 0:56:58.480
<v Speaker 2>people think about me.

0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:04.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I feel like I'm there too. It's just you know,

0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:06.279
<v Speaker 5>it's to me, it's a quantity thing. It's a numbers thing.

0:57:06.400 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 5>If it was just my dad, you know who cares.

0:57:08.360 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 5>But it's that whole clan over there, you know. I

0:57:11.120 --> 0:57:11.520
<v Speaker 5>don't know.

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I bet out of twenty out of twenty six people,

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:18.040
<v Speaker 2>a few of them are also harboring some secret wives.

0:57:18.480 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure, Oh, I bet you. You know there's some

0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:26.920
<v Speaker 5>stuff that I have you know, inklings about, but you know,

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:30.520
<v Speaker 5>I can't be sure. But you know, it's largely a

0:57:30.560 --> 0:57:33.200
<v Speaker 5>religion based on, hey, do this thing that you've been

0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:36.120
<v Speaker 5>taught since you were a child, don't ask questions, and

0:57:36.200 --> 0:57:38.920
<v Speaker 5>when it comes time, make as many children as you

0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:41.400
<v Speaker 5>can to pass that off on to them. And a

0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 5>lot of them just have have eaten that cake. And

0:57:46.440 --> 0:57:49.440
<v Speaker 5>it's just you know, I try to distance myself from

0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:50.560
<v Speaker 5>it in every way that I can.

0:57:50.680 --> 0:57:56.080
<v Speaker 2>So well, look, brother, you are technically fulfilling the Mormon

0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.760
<v Speaker 2>duty to have a big family. So I hope you

0:57:58.840 --> 0:57:59.680
<v Speaker 2>take some bass in that.

0:58:00.840 --> 0:58:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Here you go.

0:58:02.920 --> 0:58:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:05.360
<v Speaker 2>people of the computer before we go?

0:58:07.120 --> 0:58:09.800
<v Speaker 5>I would just say you you don't have to be

0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:12.720
<v Speaker 5>what people tell you you are. You know you might be.

0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:15.360
<v Speaker 5>You might grow up and be told you're one thing

0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:17.640
<v Speaker 5>and be told you have to believe this and be

0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:19.360
<v Speaker 5>told you have to do this, but I am here

0:58:19.400 --> 0:58:20.680
<v Speaker 5>to tell you that you don't.

0:58:21.640 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you have a good night, man, Thanks you too.

0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:33.840
<v Speaker 2>The Mormon thing is funny because my like first exposure

0:58:33.880 --> 0:58:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to Mormons was South Park and like all the all

0:58:38.520 --> 0:58:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the you know they have, they got the Book of

0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Mormon and they got all the Mormons like in the show,

0:58:43.160 --> 0:58:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and South Park like really portrays Mormons as like very nice,

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:50.560
<v Speaker 2>wholesome people. So that was what I got my impression

0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 2>of them for most of my life, and then I'm

0:58:55.320 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 2>sure this was shattered before that. But I remember I

0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:02.320
<v Speaker 2>did this show in Utah. It's Salt Lake City is

0:59:02.400 --> 0:59:07.080
<v Speaker 2>like the Mormon headquarters, and everyone I interviewed at the

0:59:07.120 --> 0:59:12.480
<v Speaker 2>show just had a story of some horrible, horrible thing

0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:15.920
<v Speaker 2>from their parents' childhood like this. One guy talked about

0:59:15.920 --> 0:59:19.720
<v Speaker 2>how his dad made him slaughter a hundred rabbits to

0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:23.600
<v Speaker 2>prepare for the apocalypse and crazy shit like that. So

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I guess that illusion has been kind of shattered in

0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a way. But I don't know, maybe this I don't know.

0:59:30.520 --> 0:59:35.400
<v Speaker 2>One time I was at a Chinese buffet and I

0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:41.600
<v Speaker 2>saw a guy wearing the Mormon missionary outfit and I

0:59:42.280 --> 0:59:43.760
<v Speaker 2>looked at him. I was like, hey man, you Mormon.

0:59:43.840 --> 0:59:47.080
<v Speaker 2>He was like yeah, and he kind of smiled at me.

0:59:47.320 --> 0:59:50.360
<v Speaker 2>And that was the whole interaction. But he seemed like

0:59:50.400 --> 0:59:51.919
<v Speaker 2>a nice guy. That's it, that's all I got.

0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Everythin goes on the line, taking your phone calls every nine,

0:59:57.200 --> 0:59:58.440
<v Speaker 1>everything goes to.

0:59:58.680 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>His eye was teachings.

1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:03.920
<v Speaker 3>He's looking like, but he's not really an expert.
