<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello, Hey, what's your name, Doug? I'm Joey, Joey Joey.

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>What'd you want to talk about today? Man?

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 3>What isn't going on?

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:17.159
<v Speaker 2>So?

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 3>I have a pretty serious issue. So about two weeks ago,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I was going to UH vacation right to Portland.

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And UH.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 3>On the way up to Portland from the Bay Area

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 3>of California, I got pulled over. We're going eighty on

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 3>seventy and cop pulled me over. He said, uh, I

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 3>look nervous. He wanted to search my car and didn't

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>let him search my car, and she brought a canine unit.

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 3>So they searched my car anyways, and they found a

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 3>little bit of cocaine on me. Actually, it's not what

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 3>they all they found. I had. I had mushrooms, I

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>had MDMA, I had LSD, I had e kedemene, and

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I had some cocaine. And I thought I was going

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 3>to go to jail, but they actually let me go.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>So what's the problem.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, so the problem is now I have to go

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>to court. I have to go to court, and I

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 3>have to figure out how I'm gonna tell my parents

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>that I got a possession of cocaine charge on my record.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's say when you said, when you said they

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't take it to jail, I thought, I'm fucking sorry,

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm stupid. I thought they meant I thought you meant

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>they were just like, oh yeah, no worries. Oh they

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like laughed.

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they didn't take me to jail in that moment.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>But going to jail is still definitely a possibility. But

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 3>that's not even That's only half the problem. So I

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>am an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. So now I'm worried

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 3>that I could be deported. And I don't know shit

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 3>about Mexico. I've been here my entire life. I came

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 3>to the US when I was one year old.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, Okay, so you weren't born here, but you

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>came here as a little baby.

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's right.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And really, and even after being here for twenty

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>four years, they can still deport you.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 3>I yeah, I guess. So.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, all right, listen, here's the thing. And I'm just

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna before we evolve any further into this conversation, which

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>is a conversation I'm happy to have with you, I

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>want you to know that I am not a lawyer.

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, I don't.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Know if you caught onto that, if you were calling me,

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if you were calling me in

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>lieu of legal advice, but I just thought I would

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>throw that out there that I'm not a lawyer. So

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>this conversation is going to be mainly two dumbasses, Uh,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, figuring it out right? Have you consulted with

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer?

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I've been. I've been asking around for I've sent a

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 3>couple of emails. I haven't gotten any responses. I've talked

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 3>to my sister about how I'm gonna tell my parents

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>that I got, you know, pulled over and got a

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>cocaine charge.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And you when you, I mean, I assume you've like

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>have you done? Can I get deported for drug possession?

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Reddit as a Google search and seeing what people either?

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>But okay, well let's say.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well, I guess my unique is I mean, my

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>my case is very unique because I didn't find the ship.

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Why is your case unique?

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 3>What might not be unique? But it's just I haven't

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I looked on the internet that I didn't really find

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 3>anything useful. I mean, I guess the only thing that

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I really found was like, oh yeah, you can definitely

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 3>be deported.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever spoken with a immigration lawyer? Well, I'm curious,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>so are you're not you're not a citizen of the

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 1>United States.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm I'm undocumented. Actually that's being undocumented has really

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 3>fucked me up a lot in life. But I'm getting by.

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I've I've done a lot of cool shit, like I

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 3>started my own company. Yeah. Anyways, Yeah, it's it's it's

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 3>real stressful, real, So.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Like, what's the process, right? Because look, mammy, you've been

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>here since you were since you were one years old.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>You've got the voice of a John Smith. How come

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>you can't how come you can't uh become a fucking

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.799
<v Speaker 1>citizen after after twenty four years?

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 4>You know what?

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.279
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just current politics that's you know, this

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 3>whole immigration reform stuff is super great area where nothing

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 3>that should move in with baby stuffs.

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Mmm. I mean, have you tried it?

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Have you have you? Have you? Have you caught so

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>okay with all this stuff before? I guess before calling me,

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>have you called a immigration lawyer or I guess any

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>type of lawyer?

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh So, So my parents were handling all of that.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 3>So years back, my dad assaulted by a crackhead, and

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 3>so he qualifies for you visa and he can sponsor

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 3>his whole family for U visa. So I've been in

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>that process for years now. I don't know what the

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 3>status of that is.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm confused. How is your dad getting assaulted? So

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're assaulted by a crackhead, you can just get

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a visa?

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Apparently, Yeah, it's called the U visa.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>What's how's that work?

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea. My parents are the ones handling

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 3>all of that, and unfortunately I never bothered to ask.

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Just two non lawyer dumbasses figuring it out, and that's

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>what it is. Well well, I mean all right, man,

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean like, uh, okay, so you've how can all right?

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>So listen, it sounds to me like your parents have

0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>been the ones figuring all this shit out and talking

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to lawyers and doing the paperwork and this and that

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and the other thing. Which but but but look, but listen, man,

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you're twenty five years old. I mean, you know you can't.

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>You can't call up a lawyer.

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I could, but I haven't because I guess I'm just irresponsible.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.520

<v Speaker 1>Do you speak Spanish? Do you I assume you speak Spanish.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 3>A little bit. It's broken.

<v Speaker 5>I do speak it, Okay, I you could have Listen,

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 5>here's the thing.

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're gonna I want to. I want

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to reassure you and say I don't think you're gonna

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>get deported. But I don't want to lie to you

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. That's why I should call lawyer. Yeah,

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>but you know, but here's what I do. I'm not

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna say you're not gonna get deported. But here's what

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I do think Joey is and I I liked. I

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>think part of stoicism is is rolling with whatever the

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>fuck happens, because you know, life is crazy and sometimes

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>things don't always go your way. Uh So, look, if

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you do get deported to Mexico, why don't you just

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.679
<v Speaker 1>become the big Why don't you just become a famous

<v Speaker 1>Mexican DJ. Why don't you do underground Mexican raves? That

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>sounds cool, sounds fun. That's not the worst thing that

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>could ever happen to anyone.

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:32.760

<v Speaker 3>have a good you know, bass music scene.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Well you should call lawyers that you never have to

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 1>figure out the answer to that question.

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.000

<v Speaker 2>I am, Yes, life is kind of crazy right now.

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.959
<v Speaker 2>It depends on what you're interested in.

0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess well, I I will let you have the floor.

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>While as to explaining why life is crazy.

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, so just for the viewers, I'm twenty four.

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Just as context, I guess my fifty year old moment

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is cancer. So that's going on in my life currently.

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Besides that, I'm writing my bad shows theses and struggling

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 2>in life like everyone. I guess.

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Now. You mentioned in your text that the thing one

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 1>of the things you wanted to talk about is that

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you you have a beard.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I grow more facial hair than normal, this woman does.

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I guess yes, m hm.

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Was there any like thing in particular about that that

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to talk about?

0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I did want to talk about that, yes, because it

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is treated by a chronic illness that makes me very

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 2>sad on like a daily basis.

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 6>M hm hm.

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why, but I feel like everyone in

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Germany's has got to be miserable.

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Why would you say that Germany?

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Like last year, I was, yeah, I was, well, I mean,

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys tried really hard to, you know, kill everyone,

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and you fails. And you got to you gotta live

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>with that l and by the and you know what's crazy,

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't even a hundred years ago. There's still people

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>alive from when you guys did that.

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.719
<v Speaker 2>And the worst, yes, the worst thing about that is

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:50.719
<v Speaker 2>that I guess people like that with that mindset are

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>returning and it's not good. But I will not get

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 2>political like that right now.

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh there's other are there Nazis in Germany still?

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yes, And not to alarm anyone out there in

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the world, but like the right wing party we have

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 2>is gaining a lot, a lot of a lot of

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>water right now and it's very scary interesting.

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess it's never I guess. I guess you

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>can feel confident in the fact that it's peaked.

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's the truth. I really do hope that's

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the truth.

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It seems it seems like it's peaked. I don't, I don't,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't know, I don't know if. I

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, if you guys, I don't know if you

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>guys are gonna be able to do all that stuff again.

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that that I think you guys Germany peaked.

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>It's all Germany peaked. Unfortunately. That's the thing is everyone's well,

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that's why everyone's sad. There is because there's a bunch

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>of people walking around who peaked. It's like people who

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like were popular in high school and now are just losers.

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll have to ask everyone in my life now

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>if they think Germany has peaked.

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm, well what else? Uh? Oh, you guys got

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Curry Worst. That's awesome.

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh did you have someone? You were in Berlin year?

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was like when I had it, I

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is so good. I almost wish that

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Germany won World War Two so that they sold it everywhere.

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 2>That would I would be happy for the rest of

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the world if they also had Colly West as we

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.840

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:01.960

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh, okay, I've heard of that one. Is it

<v Speaker 1>any good?

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I've actually played it before. This is a replay. I'm

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>just on the first episode, but so far I'm enjoying it. Yeah,

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I guess, M.

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, all right, I mean, I guess I'll say this,

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Sarah is there, Like, what would you like from this

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 1>phone call? I'll ask you that question.

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I would like to, I don't know, put myself out

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>there in my troubles and maybe finally feel like I

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 2>can be understood, because every time I've tried, I feel

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 2>like I've failed. And maybe since you have a bigger audience,

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 2>there will be somebody that can understand me and my

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:03.360
<v Speaker 2>struggles a little bit.

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Sure, welcome, I'll let you have the floor.

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I guess I'll just talk about what I texted

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 2>you about Lila, if that's okay, Sure, Okay, So I

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>was well, I am a SIS woman. I do identify

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 2>as a SIS woman more or less. But I have

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a chronic illness that messes with my hormones and that

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 2>means that every morning I have too well shave off

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>my beard and like genuinely, genuinely I have like more

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 2>facial heir growth than a woman would have, and it's

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it's really depressing. There's no day that I don't look

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 2>in the mirror where I'm like, do people notice this?

0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>And do people think less of me? Because they don't

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:06.879
<v Speaker 2>see me maybe fully as a woman, and it's just

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 2>very hard to deal with this every single day.

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 1>M hm.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Should I just continue to be have something to say

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to this? Okay? So I do try to. I guess

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>cover the shadow of this facial hair shows on my

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 2>face with makeup, but I still feel like it can

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 2>cover up, especially like my emotions that I have inside

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:57.679
<v Speaker 2>that I feel like maybe this chronic illness will be

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 2>the cause of mean we're being fully happy, because when

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I think of maybe being in a relationship in my future,

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know from movies, you know this wonderful

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.120
<v Speaker 2>scene where you wake up in the morning and it's

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 2>sunny outside and you just wake up with your partner

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and you're happy and everything is good. And I feel

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 2>like I'll never have that because the first thing I

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 2>will do in the morning when I wake up, maybe

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 2>next to a future partner, we'll be worrying about what

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.439
<v Speaker 2>I look like, if my facial hair is grown up

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 2>too much, and if I just don't look lovable.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're growing out a full beard, Like how big

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of a beard are we talking?

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>It's not like a full beard. It's my upper lip

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>in my chin area is like when I wake up

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, it's like proper stubble, Like you can

0:25:58.440 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 2>see it.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It's visible, really it and it grows and it grows

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>even if you shave it off, it grows immediately every morning.

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, Let's say, for example, if I shave eve

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>in the morning at like five am for whatever reason,

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm about five like in the evening at eight pm,

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd say, you can already like feel stubble growing out

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>on my like on my chin.

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah really, now is this something?

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>When you when you speak to the doctors, what do

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.239
<v Speaker 1>they tell you about about how you can deal with this?

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, the problem is, since this is caused by hormones,

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I can try and do like I guess what would

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 2>be called laser therapy on my fish lair. But the

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 2>thing is, there's no certainty that it will help.

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>They're like an, you should talk to a doctor and

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 1>not a gecko about this, But isn't there like, uh,

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>can you like take pills and shit to kind of

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 1>regulate your hormones better?

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>The thing is I could take like contraception, Yeah, I'm

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 2>birth control, but I also have like really bad migraines,

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>which means I can't take birth control. With like estrogen

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:31.399
<v Speaker 2>because that increases my risk of like having a stroke,

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 2>And I know I should talk more to my doctor

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.600
<v Speaker 2>about this, but I also am really bad with going

0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>to a doctor and having to deal with this because

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 2>it's already on my mind every single day and I

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 2>just can't deal with that increased pressure.

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>But I don't. Okay, that doesn't make sense to me,

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>so why But but going to a doctor and dealing

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.959
<v Speaker 1>with it will help you with the issue so that

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not on your mind every single day, Like why

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:03.959
<v Speaker 1>are you Why are you avoiding going to the doctor.

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's just a problem I kind of have

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 2>in general, not doing what I'm supposed to, like not

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 2>emailing my unique professor when I really should, and then

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.679
<v Speaker 2>putting it out for months and then just worrying. And

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 2>that's a problem I have in general. But I don't know,

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it's just having to deal with this, having to explain

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it to somebody who maybe doesn't really get my struggles,

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know, it's just it's kind of hard.

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Mhm. God. I wish, Sarah. I wish I had something

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>better to tell you than to just go see a doctor.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I really do, But I don't but I don't. I

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>really don't. I think you should go see a doctor

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>or a professional. Because here's the thing.

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 5>If I were, if you told, if I were like,

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 5>if I were like a guy who went to medical

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 5>school and new things about science, I could like, I'm

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 5>so useless to you right now, I really am.

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.479
<v Speaker 1>You should go talk to a doctor about these items.

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Two things. One, yes, you're so right, I should

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 2>go talk to a doctor, and I will again, hopefully

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:21.479
<v Speaker 2>in the future and very soon. And two, I wouldn't

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 2>say that you're like useless in this situation because I

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't come here for medical advice. I came here to

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 2>have some fun talking to a get go and maybe

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 2>have you tell me that even though I struggle that

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's reasons to be happy or something.

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, reasons to be happy. Let's think about that.

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Reasons to be happy.

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I already have one right now, actually not too cheesy.

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 2>But I have been listening to you like at work,

0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>which and my work is terribly mundane a lot like

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 2>for the past year or even a bit more, and

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>always cheers me up. And it's very nice to be

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 2>able to talk to you.

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And now that makes me happy. That's a reason for

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>me to be happy. Reasons to be happy? I don't know.

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>We're about reasons to be happy. I'm trying to figure

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 1>out those for myself. I've googled. This is a pathetic

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>thing to admit, but I whatever I've googled recently. This

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is not like a thing I did when I was

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like in high school. This is a this is like

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 1>several times over the past year. I've just googled how

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to be happy. I'm like, what are the basics? What

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>did the doctors recommend? Like you go on healthline and

0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:48.719
<v Speaker 1>it's like you go in the sun, have friends and

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>don't eat like shit. That's what That's what it says,

0:30:52.640 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>so to quote to quote Google, have friends, go in

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the sun and don't eat like shit, don't eat all

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 1>those curry worst.

0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But the thing is, isn't eating like shit the like

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 2>most enjoyable thing to do is.

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, that's why. God, that's why life fucking sucks.

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>You called it. You called so you you called in

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>wanting me to like give be motivating. But I'm I

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, life is crazy. It's crazy. There's all

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>this delicious food and you if you eat it, you die.

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And you fall in love with people and they try

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to kill you, and you know, you get drafted into wars.

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy out there,

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy.

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Are you saying that maybe I should embrace the fact

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>that life's life sucking, sucks and just be happy then

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:02.480
<v Speaker 2>when it actually doesn't.

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that a conclusion that you're coming to on your

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>own as we're having this conversation right now.

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a little bit, yeah, Because I mean I don't

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>think it's good to be pessimistic all the time. I

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 2>definitely have a bit too pessimistic, but maybe it helps

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a bit to appreciate when life doesn't suck, and to

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 2>appreciate like being happy or having like small happy moments.

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>See here's the thing. See, here's the thing, Sarah is

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't think what you needed with somebody to

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>be optimistic. I actually think if you're pessimistic, what you

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>need is to talk to somebody who's even more pessimistic,

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 1>so that way you can go, I don't want to

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>sound like that fucking guy, you know what I mean.

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And then you're like, and then you come to these

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>conclusions on your own, which you did because you said

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>are you you were like you said to me, Are

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you saying that I should be uh, you know, accept

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that life sucks and to be happy anyway. But I

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want. I don't want. I don't want to take that.

0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I you you that's a conclusion you came to on

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 1>your own, you know.

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true.

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know sometimes you do. Sometimes you do. Got

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to throw your fucking hands up and be like, all right, well,

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I I can't control whatever cards were levied upon me

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>in this universe, but I can control how I deal

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>with it. And I think I don't. I don't know.

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had a better thing for you other

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>than telling you to go to a doctor. But that's

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 1>that's you should totally have You've been. I assume you've

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 1>been to a doctor to talk about this before at

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>least once.

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh multiple times, multiple doctors in my life, not just

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 2>for this issue. But yes, I have, I just haven't

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 2>in the last year about this anymore.

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>What made you stop in the first place.

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Probably the fact that, well, if I go to a

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.399
<v Speaker 2>doctor about this a lot of the time, since it's

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>a gynecologist, and also combines with having to you know,

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 2>spread my legs open for the doctor, and it's not

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the mostest thing ever. Yeah, sorry to be so I

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 2>guess crass about it, but it's just the truth.

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, I I'm I if if it's if, if a

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>gecko telling you to go to the doctor is helpful

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>in any way, shape or form, I will tell you

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:51.439
<v Speaker 1>to go to the doctor because I think he's he's

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the he or she's the one who's going to Germany's progressive.

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.399
<v Speaker 1>They have all kinds of doctors.

0:34:58.239 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true.

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 1>If if, if the doctor tells you to do I

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to. I don't wanna. I don't want to

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:11.160

<v Speaker 1>for short. John. What's up? How's life?

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:36.800
<v Speaker 4>Life is complicated? Well? I cannot believe I got a

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 4>call from you?

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:45.080

<v Speaker 1>the obvious reasons?

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 4>But what do you think the obvious reasons are?

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:53.399
<v Speaker 3>Why?

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:56.439
<v Speaker 1>What are the obvious reasons as to why life is complicated? Well?

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean life well, I mean I guess the goal

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 1>of life well, and there's all sorts of different goals

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:04.279
<v Speaker 1>of life. But happiness, I think is the one that

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 1>people want the most. And happiness is a fickle and

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>complex thing. But I'm not I don't want to wax

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>poetic about bullshit. I want to hear what why your

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 1>life in particular feels complicated?

0:38:19.680 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 4>I would say that there's a lot going on in

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 4>my life right now.

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Ah, you texted me and you said my name is

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.320
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna say your name. You said, I'm twenty

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 1>years old and I think I have a sex addiction.

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I think it's I don't know if

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 4>sex addiction is the right way to put it. I

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 4>think it's a it's a it's a lack of sort of.

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 3>How would I put it, Uh, it's a.

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Lack of directed emotional connection.

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Mhm hmmm, A lack of emotion, A lack of directed

0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>emotional connection.

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:10.800
<v Speaker 4>I think that I that I use sort of sexual

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:12.239
<v Speaker 4>relationships to make up for.

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, mmm, in in in what way? Like are you?

0:39:21.800 --> 0:39:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you having sex with a lot of different people

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to make up for having like a an emotional connection

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 1>with with any of them.

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it's sort of like, I don't see myself

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 4>having an emotional connection with any of them, but I

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:42.319
<v Speaker 4>continue to have sexual relationships with them because it sort

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 4>of feels a small part of that gap of of

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:48.959
<v Speaker 4>what I'm hoping for searching for?

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 1>What are you hoping for and searching for?

0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Hmm?

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 4>What eh for and searching for?

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you desire a direct emotional connection?

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 4>I would say I do, mm hmm, but I don't

0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 4>I have. I haven't found someone that that I I

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.320
<v Speaker 4>feel I would want that with yet or the people

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:27.840
<v Speaker 4>that I have I felt like I wanted that with

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 4>has there's hasn't been a reciprocation.

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about the type of person that you would

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>want to have a direct emotional connection with.

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:53.759
<v Speaker 4>Mmm, I think it's someone that, uh, I just like,

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 4>there's there has to be a vibe. I don't know

0:40:56.640 --> 0:41:02.759
<v Speaker 4>any better way to put it. Yeah, it has to

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 4>be there's to be an easiness to it.

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:08.440
<v Speaker 3>M H.

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, so you can say, well, seri's the thing you

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 1>can say vibe. But if you really think about it,

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>this vibe, if you thought about it, you could put

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it into words, right, like do you do you desire

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to be with somebody who you feel comfortable in silence around,

0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who could whose lifestyle could easily integrate into yours,

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who you feel like is on the same intellectual

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>level as you. Somebody who you're deeply physically attracted to.

0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who who you feel like has the same sense

0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>of humor. Like these what you call a vibe can

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 1>be described in in different ways. And I'm curious when

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you think about this vibe, what what ways you come

0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>up with?

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Absolutely, I mean I think it's sort of I

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 4>think when I'm when I'm looking for a for a

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:58.319
<v Speaker 4>romantic relationship, it's it's someone that it's that same circ

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 4>connection that I have with with someone it's it's just

0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 4>a friend to me, like a very good friend where

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I connect with them on a on a comedic level,

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 4>and a like I can have deep conversations with them

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 4>and there's there's that comfortableness in silence, but also the

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:21.719
<v Speaker 4>ability to talk to them about really anything that I'm

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:23.560
<v Speaker 4>going through or they're going through.

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And why do you say that you have a sex addiction?

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Is it because you feel like you're just using like

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 1>tell in your head?

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I think re thinking that. I think

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 4>sex addicition wasn't maybe wasn't the right way to put it.

0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 4>I think it's more of a use of sex to

0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:49.000
<v Speaker 4>to fill a gap, which I don't know would be

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:54.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that would be necessarily I don't

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 4>know if that would fit into the realm or definition

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.280
<v Speaker 4>of a of a sex addiction.

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so, but you said that you're using sex to

0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:09.319
<v Speaker 1>avoid this emotion? Are you like? Is that like, is

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that true? Or is that like just the narrative you've crafted,

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.360
<v Speaker 1>like are you are you? Are you using sex to

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:18.240
<v Speaker 1>avoid something? Or are you just No, I don't.

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Think I'm using it to avoid anything.

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's just sort.

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:24.000
<v Speaker 4>Of a sort of a filler.

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Does does the sex that you have with these people

0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:31.320
<v Speaker 1>does that leave does it? Does it get you into trouble?

0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Does it lead you unfulfilled? Does it leave other people confused?

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Or like? What you know? Do you do you? Are

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>there any problems arising out of out of this behavior

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 1>from you or from the people you're having sex with.

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I think it's I don't think it's I think if anything,

0:43:56.640 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 4>it causes more problems from my elf.

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, uh, because like.

0:44:08.040 --> 0:44:11.320
<v Speaker 4>By partaking in it, I sort of pull myself away

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:17.280
<v Speaker 4>from like that search within myself, sort of give myself

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:25.760
<v Speaker 4>the the how I put it, the space to find

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 4>myself and within finding myself or space to find it

0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 4>a person within my life that I would want to

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:40.920
<v Speaker 4>that I have the ability or want to pursue something

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:41.480
<v Speaker 4>further with.

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Look at this guy, he just therapy geckoed himself.

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:48.000
<v Speaker 4>That's what my therapist always says, I do.

0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.719
<v Speaker 1>That's great, your therapist. It sounds like makes a lot

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of money for doing absolutely nothing. No, I'm just kidding. Sure,

0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:00.360
<v Speaker 1>So okay, all right, so you know, all right, so

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you're you're I'm assuming if your therapist has said that

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to you, that you've come to this conclusion multiple times, like,

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:09.480
<v Speaker 1>this is not this is not a light bulb moment

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that you're having on the phone with me right now.

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 1>This is something that you've you've come to yourself before.

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's definitely it's definitely something that I've I mean,

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:22.040
<v Speaker 4>I think this conclusion is definitely something I've come to

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:26.960
<v Speaker 4>with myself before. It's not something that I've actually talked

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:34.440
<v Speaker 4>with my therapist a lot about. Uh, it's there's so manly,

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 4>like a thing that's come up, but not something that's

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:43.080
<v Speaker 4>talked about a lot. But I definitely like talked about

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:44.319
<v Speaker 4>my friends like.

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 3>A good amount, which.

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Is so so I mean, so you've come to the

0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>conclusion that the the kind of meaningless sex is just

0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:59.200
<v Speaker 1>taking you away from the like the the the the

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 1>search as you call it, uh, within yourself. Yeah, i'd say,

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>so that's a smart that's a smart thing to know

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:09.720
<v Speaker 1>about yourself.

0:46:13.760 --> 0:46:18.600
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, I think it it's sort of yeah, I mean,

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 6>I I think it's also sort of it definitely leaves

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:37.400
<v Speaker 6>me with a with a feeling of Yeah, there's definitely

0:46:37.520 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 6>a dissatisfaction with it as well.

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Just uh in terms of like I like I I do,

0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 4>I do a good job of making my intentions clear

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 4>with people them hooking.

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Up with or.

0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Like I I think I do. I feel like I

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 4>do a good job of not leading like a person on.

0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So, so, John, I guess before we go, like, I mean,

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:19.799
<v Speaker 1>tell me this all right, So you've come to this

0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:25.360
<v Speaker 1>conclusion about yourself, and now, as we all know, as

0:47:25.400 --> 0:47:29.480
<v Speaker 1>we all know, as we've learned time and time and

0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 1>time again, the body, more specifically, the penis will act

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:45.280
<v Speaker 1>in ways that conflict with the logic of the brain.

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, But.

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:56.960

<v Speaker 6>You are?

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You are you are a higher being than the ape,

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:12.280
<v Speaker 1>than the dog. What I don't have a third animal?

0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:15.840
<v Speaker 1>You are a higher being and thus perhaps than the

0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:21.719
<v Speaker 1>than the gecko, than the gecko. Yes, and thus you

0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to use your brain over your penis.

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And I I wish you. I wish you luck in
