0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I just lost my job, that's cool. The place I've

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>been working at was like, hey, we gotta do budget cuts,

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.080

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>that sucks, and I cried about it. And then I've

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>been applying to a lot of jobs and no one

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>is hiring.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know what I just it just really is

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 3>so crazy that we need money to live. This is

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>where this is. I'm going to get into, Like I

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 3>don't know anything about economics or life or politics or whatever,

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>but it's like it's just shouldn't we have there's enough

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>food and stuff, and like, you know, we're gonna shouldn't

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 3>we get robots to just do everything for us and

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 3>then we can each hall of enough to just like

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>hang out. You know, it's just crazy that we need

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>to we need to work to live. Or maybe it's

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 3>not crazy, maybe it makes sense. And I'm dumb. I

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 3>don't know, I'm I'm not. I mean whatever.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>For me personally, I like working, having just a thing

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to do that important for me. Yeah, it's an important thing,

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. Uh. But on the other hand, it's like

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>this fucking sucks at all times that I'm at work.

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to fucking kill myself. Can I say that? Anyways?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Do whatever you want to make It's yeah, it's rough, dude.

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, like, I'm taking care of my girlfriend.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>She's like super disabled. I mean, I she's also pregnant

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, which is a little crazy crazy. Yeah, I know,

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm really scared about that.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh. She has metal rods in her legs, so there's

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>like a chance and like a plate in her hip,

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.919
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance like when she gives birth, like legs

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.959
<v Speaker 1>could just like explode, you know, which would not be

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>very epic. I don't think.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it'd be a little epic.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it'd be kind of cool, Like if.

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna if you're I'm I don't think it'd be good.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 3>But if you're using the word epic, I think it

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 3>would be a little epic.

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, little bit.

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.119
<v Speaker 3>What job were you fired from?

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>It was a it was basically a lion cook position

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>out like a pizza place. All I did every day

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>was I was the dough person. I would make dough

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and fucking cut it into the circles so they can

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>make the pizzas.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.959

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>in breeding. But thinks like my great grandparents or first cousins.

<v Speaker 3>Well, you seem cool to me.

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, unfortunately jobs do not think so.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why why do you think jobs don't think

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>that you're cool?

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>When I mean I've noticed in a lot of interviews

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>when jobs realize that you are not I don't want

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to say normal, but like if you're a little bit

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>weird or like a little bit strange, job is.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be like, well, here's the thing, Jade, I don't know.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>of you just from speaking to you would not be

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:26.120

<v Speaker 1>and then I like didn't see him for a while.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>And then it turns out he started working with my

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend at the fish store. Uh, and he needed a

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.080

<v Speaker 1>went from there.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 3>So I guess I don't understand, like this, how this

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 3>man has purchased shares of your child, Like he's just

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 3>he's just a dad. What's the arrangement here.

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Yea, it's like, oh my god, what there's a there's

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a show where there's multiple dads to like multiple kids.

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't even remember what it is. It's some sitcom,

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>but anyways, it's just like the kid's gonna call him dad.

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>The kid's gonna call my girlfri and mom called me mom.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no, that's not that crazy.

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the kid will have two moms and one dad.

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Two moms, one dad yet and the dad he's.

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>A parent teacher conference. Is a little awkward, but.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.480

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>relationship with either of you. No offense, but we're like

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna he has like day people, so.

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 3>He can kind of he can he can sort of

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 3>dip out at any time he wants. You know, he's

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 3>not even like a real dad.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Technically he could, but I don't think he will. I mean,

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>he's like super excited about the whole thing. He's wanted

0:08:55.559 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>a kid ever since a long time, you know. But yeah,

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a weird little situation we got, but okay, it

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>all works out.

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy that like, in whatever state you live in,

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 3>it's easier to like become some kid's dad without doing

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.599
<v Speaker 3>anything than it is to get a job at a

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 3>pizza place.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.199
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying, dude.

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, is he gonna pay for the kid? Is

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 3>he helping pay for the kid? Is he like financially

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 3>supporting you?

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is financially supporting. I mean he's already like

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>bought stuff for the kid preemptively, like baby crib, I

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>forget the fuck off the counter, sorry my cat baby. Yeah,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>he's just on the fucking counter. They're actually both at

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>work right now. But yeah, basically he wants to financially support,

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>be there like emotionally for the kid, help do everything,

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I think it's good because like, having

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>three parents is better than.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Two, I suppose. So I suppose it takes it takes uh,

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 3>it takes a roommate, true.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean unless we make the kids like three times

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>as fucked up, then that I don't think that's good.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, what was the kid an accident or did

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>you plan the kid.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>So we did plan the kids what's called uh, but

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we've been telling everyone we didn't plan the kid because well,

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it was mostly my girlfriend. He said that because she

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>was very scared that people would judge us because we

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't the most financially well off. I mean even now

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>considering I just lost my job, but like we have

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>our own place, but it's it's definitely been a struggle

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>money line, but we're working on it. We're getting there.

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>And so, okay, so it was planned, but you're telling

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 3>people it wasn't. Yes, basically okay because you're afraid that

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 3>they will judge you for having a kid without being

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 3>like financially stable.

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, for sure.

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, how long have you been planning on having a

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>kid for?

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I wouldn't say ever since we've started dating,

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>but like the ideas is fluted around, but I guess,

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>like this just this year, we've been really set on

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>planning it having it happen.

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm. And well, I mean I get look, I

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 3>mean I guess you have three incomes. Does the does

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 3>the truth does the guy is the guy have a

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 3>job the roommate.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he works at the same place my girlfriend.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Does Okay, so that's.

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Also convenient with like rides and everything, and yeah, I

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>mean speaking's difficult anyways. Three incomes is good, but it's

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>also bad because if we apply for financial aid through

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the government, right, I mean, I suppose we could leave

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>off the roommate, but like it'll still show based on

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>like legal filings and everything, that like a third person

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>lives here, which makes our chances for like food stamps

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and insurance and stuff a lot slimmer in some regards.

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 3>How old are you?

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Shit, I wasn't so I am twenty. My girlfriend is

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, and the roommate is twenty two.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, is this something you've always wanted to do?

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've wanted kids most because, like I'm in

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>a mindset of I want a kid to make sure

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that kid grows up a lot better than I did,

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, because my parents were like fucking horrible. I

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mean I was adopted when I was young. Uh went

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>too with my aunt and uncle, who were the people

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that adopted me. They were just fucking batshit terrible, you know.

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>M hm. So yeah, having a kid to make up

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>for that, I guess, but also like having a kids cool,

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, mm hmm, just having have a little guy

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>run around.

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm. Well hm hmm. I mean I I I

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 3>I hope you find your way into a happy life, Jade,

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.679
<v Speaker 3>I really do do doo.

0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's just it feels like every step my life, every

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>time I get to a point where I'm like, I'm happy,

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.959
<v Speaker 1>everything's going great, it just like taken away immediately. I mean,

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like I've been laid off from so many jobs for

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like similar reasons or like, God, the last two places

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I worked that fucking shut down. I mean there were

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>both restaurants that like couldn't survive financially, so which also

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look good on a resume.

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 3>But when why do you why do you feel like

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>you become happy and then things and then that you

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 3>so you feel as though the carpet is always being

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 3>pulled from underneath you.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, because I'll get the points in my

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>life where because for me, like change is really hard,

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I like having a set schedule, having it so

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly what's going to happen when it happens,

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, And like right as I feel like I've

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>gotten to the point where I have a routine again,

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I know everything's going to be all right. I'm financially stable.

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Some it happens.

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Mm hm m hmm. Well again, I mean, Jade, you

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 3>got you got a lot working. I I I think

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 3>look like I said, I think that you present as

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 3>a as a perfectly uh competent human being. That if

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I owned a grocery store or cafe or bar restaurant,

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I would have you there whipping up cocktails, putting parmesan

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 3>on on on pizza. You know, it sucks. It's the

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 3>job market is just so so fucked man. This is

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 3>so hard to uh you know, it's.

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And it's not like I can't like adapt the change.

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I do every time I learned to level out,

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>but always just it sucks. It's not that I'm upset

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>about it. It sucks, you know. It's like I can

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>deal with it, but I don't get to complain about it,

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I I mean, look, I mean, look, everything

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 3>everything changes when you have a kid, right, everything changes

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 3>when you have a kid, and then your life really

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 3>just just isn't about It's unfortunate. But I and and

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 3>maybe I'm talking to my ask here. I've never had

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 3>a child before, but it just seems to me abstractly

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 3>that once you have a kid, your life, just for

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 3>at least a little while, is no longer about you

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 3>and your happiness, right, because you made the decision to

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 3>bring another kid into a universe, which is maybe the

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 3>the most maybe the most amount of responsibility a human

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 3>being can take on, right, And so you've got to

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 3>make sacrifices to take on that responsibility. And I don't

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe sometimes that involves sacrificing your happiness a little bit,

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, and hopefully you don't take that out on

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 3>the kid, right, because I mean, it's a really it's

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 3>the hugest decision of ARSA could possibly make.

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>True. Yeah, I mean, I've come to terms with that that, like,

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.919
<v Speaker 1>this is a big decision in my life that although

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 1>other people, like a lot of people in my life,

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>when I've told them, like, hey, my girlfriend's pregnant, the

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>first thing that they bring up is you're unprepared, or

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like something along the lines of a lot of things

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.919
<v Speaker 1>people bring up is because I have these mental issues

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 1>because I'm autistic. They're like, for one, I don't think

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you're ready to have that kid, you know, But on

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, it's like, are you sure your kid

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>is not going to be like autistic as shit. And

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, the kid is I don't think that's

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing, you know, But I.

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 3>Would put I would, I mean, I would whatever, whatever,

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever mental issues that you're struggling with, I would put

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 3>them at the very pot of of of the list

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 3>of you know, things to be uh thinking about it

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 3>in this in this regard, and I mean, you know,

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important to be generally stable if you're

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 3>going to be in charge of a kid. But but

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 3>again again, yeah, you know, I hope go ahead, you're

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:35.639
<v Speaker 3>going to say something.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was going to say other than like the

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>job situation, Like the rest of my life has been

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like good if that makes sense. I mean, like I've

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>been on medication for like fifteen probably fifteen years, I

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.520

<v Speaker 2>By bye, dude.

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I just

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 3>like and when it's not judgment, I don't because I

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.719
<v Speaker 3>don't like to. I don't try. I try not to

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 3>cast judgments on what other people decide to do with

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 3>their lives. And it has nothing to do with, you know,

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 3>being autistic, or anything to do with like having the

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.879
<v Speaker 3>roommate dad situation. It's just like, I know, it's just so,

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 3>it's just such a like, I don't know, it's just

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 3>a crazy crazy It's what's like the biggest decision of

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:20.399
<v Speaker 3>responsibility I think you could possibly take on to have

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.600
<v Speaker 3>a kid, you know, and especially being twenty and.

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 2>All that.

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 3>But at the end of the day, look, man, I

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 3>don't live Jade's life. I don't know what it's like

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 3>to be them. I don't know anything about what brings

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 3>them happiness and their life and the universe's is ripe,

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 3>and so I don't know. All I know is that

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I hope that everything works out for Jade and that they,

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, are able to find a place to make

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 3>pizzas and raise the kid. And I don't know. Also,

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what the roommate's doing. I don't know

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 3>if he has some weird plan. I don't know if

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna kidnap the kid and you know, try to

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 3>clone him and make an oopa lumpa Willy Wonka factory

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 3>whatever thing. But I don't know what he's doing, but

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 3>I hope that everything works out okay, and uh, good

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>luck to you. Jade all from Ryan to Accept.

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Hey, yeah, I just had a question. I've been

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>having some like issues, like I mentally like I don't

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 2>really know what to do.

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, What's what's going on? Man?

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>So my girlfriend, like she's a real pothead and I've

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 2>never smoked myself, but she keeps trying to convince me

0:22:54.400 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to smoke weed, and I'm kind of worried about it.

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 2>But she keeps kind of up in the annie and

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>like offering to do certain things if I were to

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 2>smoke with her, such as a do you know what

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>a beeper bong is?

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:16.679
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 3>What's a beeper bond?

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 2>So apparently it's this thing that goes inside of the

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 2>woman and you put water in the woman as well,

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and like the stem goes down into the water and

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>you make pretty much a human bong.

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 3>So your girlfriend wants you to take a bong rip

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 3>out of her pussy pretty much.

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I've considered it, but like at the same time,

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 2>like I just don't know what to do, because like

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it sounds interesting, but I don't want to have a

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>bad trip or anything. I mean, I don't know if

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you smoke weed. But like I'm just kind of confused.

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, know what to do? You know.

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 3>What kind of bad trip are you afraid of having?

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I always heard about like paranoia, and like, I

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 2>mean I'm already kind of an anxious person. I mean,

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:28.439
<v Speaker 2>but maybe I want to go as like for my

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 2>first time. Maybe I want to be as extreme to

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 2>do something like a beaver bong. But uh, I don't know.

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like I just kind of got to get

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 2>over this mental block.

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Hm hmm, what do you paranoid could happen?

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, just feeling it's kind of like a like you

0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 2>know that fucking thing where like you think you're have

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 2>something wrong with you, but Mike, you don't really I

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 2>forgot what it's called, like kind of a ah, I

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 2>forgot what it's called.

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 5>But I have a feeling, you know what I'm talking about, Like.

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Just pretty much the your brain making up like oh,

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I might be having a heart attack, like something's wrong.

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah.

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, you know, everyone has their own experience with drugs,

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 3>But a little part of me thinks that you're gonna

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 3>like take this spawng rip out of your girlfriend's vagina,

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 3>breathe it in, and then when you blow it out,

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 3>you'll look at her and you'll realize that life is

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 3>actually pretty good.

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, I might just have to try that. Should

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 2>a shotgun the hit as well?

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Blow it into her mouth for mine?

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 3>You guys need to write a book about your lives.

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Is there a baby? You guys have a baby? Don't

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 3>tell me you too have a baby together? Uh? Dude. Next,

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 3>here's the thing. For here's the thing. It starts with

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 3>your girlfriend trying to get you to take a bong

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 3>rip out of her vagina, and then all of a sudden,

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:28.639
<v Speaker 3>she's gonna be like, yo, let's pack the baby.

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.719
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think it's gonna go that Varna.

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 3>No, Like I feel like the top like you could

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 3>like kind of push on the top of a baby's

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 3>head to make a little dent, right, and then pack

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.879
<v Speaker 3>into that. Yeah, and then pack some wead into that

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 3>and then you smoke it out of the baby's mouth.

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't think I'd ever try that, but

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 2>that's definitely interesting thought. I might just stick with a

0:26:58.560 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 2>beaver bong.

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:03.679

<v Speaker 3>people of the computer before we go?

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.679

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Tray with it a e oh tr ae Yeah hmm, Well,

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 3>what's up, Tray? Would you want to talk about today?

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 3>If anything?

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, there's some heavy shit on my plate. But for

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 5>starters like I'm a garbage man, it's a pretty fun job.

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Any cool pieces of garbage to report to us that

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 3>you found lately? Uh?

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 5>Not really? I find random money sometimes. I think I

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 5>got like fifty bucks in total.

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Why do you think somebody threw away fifty bucks?

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 5>Uh? I find like fucking cleaned out wallets with just

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 5>like random money left in them.

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Hm.

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 5>One time I saw a pocket pussy that was kind

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 5>of weird.

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 3>What did you do with it?

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 5>I just took a picture and posted on my story, right, why.

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Would you do anything else? You wouldn't take it home

0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and fuck it? Why did that even? Why did they

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 3>even come into my brain that you would do that? Tray,

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah, that's on me. I'm going to take responsibility

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 3>for my thought.

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 5>But uh, yeah, dude, I do have some kind of

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 5>deep shit. So growing up I kind of had to

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 5>like take on adult responsibilities really early, and uh kind

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 5>of like help keep the family together and stuff. And

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 5>now fast forward to like present day, it's just like

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking care of my mom's house, paying the loone

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 5>on it, and she's out fucking around like on meth

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 5>and ship and it's just a lot to take in

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 5>and Stepdad's like not very stable either, so I have

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 5>to like take care of him and shit too, and

0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 5>everything just feels weird, Like I want to start in

0:30:57.800 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 5>my life, So.

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 3>What would starting your own life look like?

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 5>Kind of just like finally starting to not care so

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 5>much and like care more about myself, just kind of

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 5>give up on trying to help people I've endlessly tried

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 5>to help for so long.

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 3>How old are you? I'm twenty two, twenty two, and

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 3>you've spent a large majority of your life having to

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 3>pick up the pieces of other people's shit. Yeah mm hmm, okay,

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.040
<v Speaker 3>what's between you and and not caring?

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. There's just like this huge, like moral

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 5>feeling that I have to like always just try to

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 5>help and be like the most good that I can be,

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 5>And I don't even know how to set that off

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 5>and just like kind of direct that towards myself.

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Man, this is a tough one because, like, and you know,

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 3>this has been kind of a recurring theme on the

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>show throughout a couple phone calls. We had a guy

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 3>a few weeks ago who was like taking care of

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 3>his aunt, you know, stuff like that, and I always

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 3>feel like, you know, this is like this this is

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 3>really dependent upon your own personal philosophy in a way.

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 3>So I can't tell you what to do with your

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 3>life in this sense, but my personal philosophy with these

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 3>kinds of things is like, you know, look, I think

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's very noble of you to help out

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 3>your family, but you're very very young and how old

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you're helping out what your mom? And tell

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 3>who are all the people you're helping out? Sorry if

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 3>you told me already, Yeah.

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 5>Mostly my mom because it's the house that I'm paying

0:32:55.400 --> 0:33:00.160
<v Speaker 5>for is under her name and alone and fucking to

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 5>like a backup plan for my stepdad. Basically he's trying

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 5>to fix sh it over at another house, and then

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 5>just a whole lot of shit I'm tired of dealing with.

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Look, here's the thing. Life I think is like a

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:19.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty easy and straightforward until you have children. I don't

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 3>have children, but I assume because it's like you can

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 3>if you want to just fuck off and fuck around

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 3>and not give a shit about anyone other than yourself

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 3>and go crazy and move to China and do Heroin

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:40.680
<v Speaker 3>and just what and you and you're and you don't

0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 3>have kids, you can go go go crazy, divorce your wife,

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 3>leave your boyfriend, block all your friends on Instagram, who cares,

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 3>go literally do whatever you want. But when you have kids.

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 3>But this is different when you have kids, and I think,

0:33:55.440 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 3>like to have a kid and then like especially when

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 3>they're a child, but you know, now like into adulthood,

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 3>to have a kid and like can deprive them of

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:20.920
<v Speaker 3>their life because you just couldn't get it together for

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 3>whatever reason. And I don't know, bro, I'm not an

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.400
<v Speaker 3>arbiter of morality, and I don't want to be, but

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 3>like it just feels wrong. And so, you know, you're

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 3>a young dude, you're twenty two. It sounds like you've

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.640
<v Speaker 3>been like dealing with this stuff forever. So I mean,

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 3>i'd like to see you claim your own life. You know,

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 3>that's what you're telling me. You're telling me you're twenty

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:51.240
<v Speaker 3>two and you don't feel like you have your own life.

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 3>And I think you know you're endowed as a citizen

0:34:55.480 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 3>of the universe to claim your own life. And if

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 3>you have the opportunity to do so, I wouldn't you know,

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I'd consider doing it right. And again, I'm not going

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.399
<v Speaker 3>to tell you what what what that means in terms

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 3>of reactions moving forward, because you know, I know one

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 3>philosophy about this stuff is right. But I think if

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 3>you were to take actions in the direction of claiming

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 3>your own life, I don't think that would be selfish

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 3>of you, and I don't think that you'd be wrong

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 3>to do so.

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 5>No, yeah, I definitely deserve it. I just need to

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.399
<v Speaker 5>stop being such a tool. I mean, not so much

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 5>that I view myself as a tool. It's just overall

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 5>it's not really benefiting me. It's negatively affecting me more

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 5>than anything.

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So, m.

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I wish you the courage to do whatever

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:55.319
<v Speaker 3>you think is the best thing to do. That's the thing, man,

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 3>you can really like, you could really fuck it. You

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 3>can be like a self fish asshole to your friends

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 3>and you're just everyone around it doesn't it's fine until

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 3>you have a kid. You know you have a kid. Well,

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 3>because when you have a kid and then you make

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 3>their lives shitty, that's just a sinister thing to do. So,

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I don't know. I don't know your mom.

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't I'm not saying your mom is a sinister person.

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I don't know your particular situation. I'm just

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:24.439
<v Speaker 3>talking about a general shit.

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 5>I think it's menopause's fault.

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, is there any other stuff you wanted

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 3>to talk about or anything further in this situation or

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:38.200
<v Speaker 3>what's up? The floor's yours?

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:43.280
<v Speaker 5>Man? I mean, it's really just an honor to actually

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 5>be talking to you every morning before I go to work,

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 5>Like I go to work like half an hour early.

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 5>I just throw on your podcasts and they really just

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.239
<v Speaker 3>so happy. I'm honestly, I'm feeling it right now I'm

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 3>talking to you. I'm so happy that I never ever,

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 3>ever in my life have to go to school, will

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 3>ever again. The worst thing ever, It's horrible, it's so bad.

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 3>What do you do? What are you in? You're in college?

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.760
<v Speaker 6>Right, yeah, I'm in college. I'm studying biomedical engineering.

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, that sounds awful. I'm so happy, you

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 3>know what, I don't you know, I don't even care

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 3>that this sounds mean. I'm I'm really happy that I'm

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:23.040
<v Speaker 3>not you doing.

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 6>No you No, you should be.

0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>You should be.

0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:28.240
<v Speaker 6>I should have done music education instead.

0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean whatever, I'll be homeless when I'm forty, and

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 3>you'll have like a real place to live. But you know,

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:40.400
<v Speaker 3>for now, I'm chilling. Why do What's what made you

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 3>want to do all that?

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 6>I just like really want to make a difference in

0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:47.760
<v Speaker 6>the world. And I don't think I could ever handle

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 6>being like a doctor, Like that's just crazy.

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 3>So you said you should you should have done education?

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, music education.

0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:58.399
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you go do that?

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I could? It's really time day. I'm not gonna lie.

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, why what's stopping you?

0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 6>That's a good question. Probably like the fear of my

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 6>dad hating me for.

0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Being a failure.

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a stupid reason.

0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:21.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, probably, But he does fund my education.

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 3>How am I? I'm funny, it's funny. I respect the

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 3>fact that he funds your education, and and that is

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 3>a that look, I think and the reason I snap

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.239
<v Speaker 3>judgment said that that's a stupid reason is and I

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:42.320
<v Speaker 3>don't take that back is because basing your entire life

0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 3>and future and day to day on like what your

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 3>parents will think about it is just like a way

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:56.920
<v Speaker 3>to be forever unhappy. I respect the fact that you

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 3>care about your dad's opinion because he's funding your education,

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:05.120
<v Speaker 3>and you know, his money, his prerogative to you know whatever,

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 3>say hey, I'll only fund your education if you you know,

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:11.200
<v Speaker 3>do this, that and the other thing. You know, that's

0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 3>his whatever leverage, have a right or wrong you think

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 3>that might be. That's just whatever it is. But all

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 3>of that aside. You know, you're your own independent human

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:23.799
<v Speaker 3>being with your own life, and you know you you

0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 3>were at the end of the day. Nobody has to

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 3>fucking live your life and do all the horrible school things,

0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 3>but you so you know, I kind of don't give

0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:35.400
<v Speaker 3>you a fuck what your dad thinks.

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, you're so right.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 6>I think that's like something I struggle with is I

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 6>give too much of a fuck about what other people think.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.719
<v Speaker 3>So you want to By the way, I don't want

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 3>to discount it. I know it's like having these kinds

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 3>of conversations, especially if you haven't had them. If another hard,

0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:53.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to discount that. It's hard, and that's

0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 3>one of the reasons you might be not doing it.

0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 3>But like, I mean, it'd be one thing if you

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 3>told me that you were doing all this ship because

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 3>you want to you genuinely want to be a bio

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 3>medical willy Wanka person or you know, or you genuinely

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 3>want to make a lot of money and you think

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:13.799
<v Speaker 3>that's how you do it, that's whatever. But if you're

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 3>just doing it to make your dad happy, I mean,

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck are we doing here?

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:17.759
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:19.839
<v Speaker 6>I am doing it because I like it. It's just

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.080
<v Speaker 6>like it's it's just so much like I'm drowning in

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 6>work right now?

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 3>What's it? You wanted to be an art education person?

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Music?

0:42:30.760 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to band?

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 3>What's what's stopping you?

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Nothing? You're so right.

0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 6>Maybe maybe i'll double major. Maybe i'll or I could

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 6>just drop out and become a music teacher.

0:42:53.080 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You could, all right, that's all?

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I got a question. Mm hmm? What note is this?

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:12.960
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't even tell you?

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:20.919
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like a lot of work to do. Yeah, what's

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:22.239
<v Speaker 3>your name again? Is there anything else you want to

0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 3>say to the people of the computer before we go?

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:29.200

<v Speaker 3>On me, I don't know what you mean when you're

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:14.200

<v Speaker 4>twenty two and I'm already getting divorced.

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Dude, What the fuck? Why is everyone like? Everyone is like,

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 3>it's very funny because I don't know, I don't know

0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 3>the exact demographics of this podcast or whatever, but I

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:44.279
<v Speaker 3>do know that you know, a lot of people they

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:47.040
<v Speaker 3>found out about from TikTok or whatever the fuck, and

0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 3>so there are a lot of like people in the

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 3>eighteen to you know, twenty four year old range. But

0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:56.279
<v Speaker 3>all you guys are acting like you're, you know, in

0:44:56.320 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 3>your fucking forties. Man. Everyone's having kids, everyone's getting divorced.

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's like, I mean, it's just it's it's wild, man,

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 3>what's going on?

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Just our generation, Like we just all had such a

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 4>weird connection with the Internet. So we're all like on

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 4>another level of intelligence and like wisdom on stuff. So

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 4>it's it's like like a crazy level of attachment with

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:24.760
<v Speaker 4>other people.

0:45:27.320 --> 0:45:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I guess how long were you married?

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Two years?

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:36.320
<v Speaker 4>But we were Uh we met when we were thirteen,

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 4>so we've been together for nine years in total, but

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 4>uh yeah, two years for the like actual marriage.

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Well good.

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I hold my tongue out so much. I really do,

0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:53.480
<v Speaker 3>because not because I'm like afraid of what people will

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 3>think of my judgments, but because, like, you know, like

0:45:57.080 --> 0:46:00.239
<v Speaker 3>my gut emotional reaction to when people say things like

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 3>this is like my true gut emotional reaction is like

0:46:05.440 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I just think it's a terrible idea to get married

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:12.080
<v Speaker 3>at a young age and have kids at a crazy

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 3>young age. But beneath the emotion, I logically understand and

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 3>believe that different things make different people happy, and so

0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not in a position to make those calls. But

0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:46:30.120 --> 0:46:32.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's really hard to say. I put I

0:46:32.920 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 4>put a lot of effort and time into thinking if

0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 4>because we're engaged for probably two years before I actually

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 4>committed to signing anything and stuff, not in like hesitation

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:47.120
<v Speaker 4>of like, oh, I don't believe our relationship is going

0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 4>to blast that long. I fully believe we would last,

0:46:53.320 --> 0:46:56.919
<v Speaker 4>but like, I don't know, I actually took the time

0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 4>to think about what I wanted for the rest of

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 4>my life. Was like, odang, maybe this isn't the solution.

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.560
<v Speaker 4>And I went through with it because I was genuinely

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:12.799
<v Speaker 4>happy with her and kind of sucks that it went

0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:15.600
<v Speaker 4>in the worst way possible. And it's not I mean,

0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 4>it's a mutual thing now, but it was a mess

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 4>for the past couple of months. This whole year entirely

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 4>actually was awful.

0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 3>So what are you doing now?

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Kind of just sitting around spending money?

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't have.

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:34.279
<v Speaker 3>What on?

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:38.360
<v Speaker 4>I just bought a new PC and I just got

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:41.240
<v Speaker 4>the desk today and then I'm still waiting for some parts,

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:43.640
<v Speaker 4>so I'm going to be building that. But you know,

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:48.160
<v Speaker 4>using a firm to pay for stuff when I don't

0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 4>have any money, I'm working all the time, so you

0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:52.320
<v Speaker 4>know that's fun.

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:57.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hey man, Some people would argue having a having

0:47:57.400 --> 0:47:59.919
<v Speaker 3>a nice PC it's better than having a wife.

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Huh oof.

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 4>That's a that's a loaded assumption.

0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:15.440
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, whatever, okay, what are you gonna do

0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:16.480
<v Speaker 3>on your PC.

0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Game? Mostly?

0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I have kind of an I T background

0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 4>and I kind of want to get back into it.

0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:28.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how much having a PC is going

0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 4>to help me with that, but it would be nice

0:48:31.200 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 4>to get back into I t mm hmm, especially money wise.

0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:38.399
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a job now?

0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I work at a warehouse currently.

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well what staate of you guys? Did?

0:48:46.040 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I am in Maryland?

0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:49.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's my home state.

0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 3>You sound you sound distraught?

0:48:57.360 --> 0:48:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Man?

0:48:57.640 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Is there anything I can do to help you?

0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 4>I have an awesome support team that's been helping me

0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:06.759
<v Speaker 4>or a lot of people that have been talking through

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 4>everything with me. And I go to a counselor and

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:14.279
<v Speaker 4>I go to therapy and a new therapist because the

0:49:14.280 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 4>one I've been going to wasn't the greatest. The advice

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:19.320
<v Speaker 4>she gave me was not amazing.

0:49:20.480 --> 0:49:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Well what was the advice she gave you? I'm curious.

0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:26.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, because I was in denial about our

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:33.080
<v Speaker 4>relationship being over, and like I was fighting and fighting

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:37.239
<v Speaker 4>to try and keep stuff together, and she just suggested

0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:40.279
<v Speaker 4>that I give it space and she'll she'll come back,

0:49:40.280 --> 0:49:43.760
<v Speaker 4>which I guess is sound advice, But in reality.

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.200
<v Speaker 3>What's wrong with that advice.

0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:49.520
<v Speaker 1>At least in this Like for how much information my

0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:53.200
<v Speaker 1>therapist had about the situation, and like, here's another thing

0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>we were both going to the same therapist, but for

0:49:56.160 --> 0:49:58.680
<v Speaker 1>solo sessions, it wasn't a g It wasn't like a

0:49:58.680 --> 0:50:01.360
<v Speaker 1>couple of therapy. It was I went to her and

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:04.040
<v Speaker 1>then she was also going to her at the same time.

0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's no fun.

0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 1>But so that would give her more context on like

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 1>what I was going through. I guess yeah, And I

0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:17.719
<v Speaker 1>think with the information she had about our relationship, the

0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:23.359
<v Speaker 1>suggestion of giving it more space was probably the worst,

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 1>at least at the time.

0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, but again, why do you feel like that was bad?

0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, just because there was she moved out to live

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 4>with the guy that she cheated on me with. Oh,

0:50:41.280 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like the me spending more time away

0:50:45.320 --> 0:50:48.879
<v Speaker 4>was solidifying their relationship when I wanted things to work out.

0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Still, you you're I'm all right, I'm gonna tell you something.

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Your therapist gave you great advice.

0:50:58.040 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 1>That's fair.

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Againist, I gave you great advice, man, Come on.

0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, hindsight, hindsight. I'm like, yeah, that was probably the

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:08.399
<v Speaker 4>best thing.

0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:14.719
<v Speaker 3>I know you're distrawing, and I I hope I don't

0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:16.759
<v Speaker 3>sound like I'm laughing at you. I really, I really

0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:20.160
<v Speaker 3>am not. It's just my friend. Your therapist gave you

0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:23.200
<v Speaker 3>fantastic advice. I just need you to know that because

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:27.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, I know that you started out this phone

0:51:27.440 --> 0:51:30.759
<v Speaker 3>call with the speech about how smart you are, and

0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:32.239
<v Speaker 3>I just need you, I need you to know that

0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:37.360
<v Speaker 3>your therapist gave you great advice. If your girlfriend left

0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:39.840
<v Speaker 3>you to go be with the guy that she cheated

0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:43.800
<v Speaker 3>on you for, I'm gonna tell you what and and

0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:48.600
<v Speaker 3>absolutely that's not. Of course, here's the thing your therapist

0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:50.480
<v Speaker 3>gave you. It's that it's not what you wanted, though

0:51:50.600 --> 0:51:53.960
<v Speaker 3>your therapist didn't give you what you wanted, because what

0:51:54.000 --> 0:52:02.279
<v Speaker 3>you wanted was this gut emotional thing of you're your

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:06.160
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend coming back to you, realizing that this guy's not

0:52:06.239 --> 0:52:09.839
<v Speaker 3>the guy and you're the guy. You know, but that's

0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:14.000
<v Speaker 3>not you know, that's what you wanted. But it's not

0:52:14.640 --> 0:52:19.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, what you needed. You could say, right because

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:21.640
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day, it's like if if

0:52:21.719 --> 0:52:27.960
<v Speaker 3>another But you deserve a person who wants to fucking be,

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 3>who makes the decision to be with you and to

0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:34.080
<v Speaker 3>stay with you and not to you know, run off

0:52:34.120 --> 0:52:39.320
<v Speaker 3>with this other this other guy, and at a certain point,

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 3>and it's hard to brow it's fucking hard. It's hard

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 3>emotionally to stand up for yourself. It's really hard. Whether

0:52:47.000 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 3>you're a guy or a girl. It's hard to set

0:52:50.480 --> 0:52:53.439
<v Speaker 3>the boundaries of like I don't deserve this bullshit. I'm

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm out. It's hard, you know, And so that's that's

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:00.640
<v Speaker 3>why it felt like not good at advice. It was

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:05.839
<v Speaker 3>because it was the harder decision. But it's totally the move,

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:06.759
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, actually going through the time away and like,

0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:14.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, it was just this week that it

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 4>clicked with me that I was fighting a battle that

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't gonna win. So looking back on it now,

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.919
<v Speaker 4>it was great advice and I appreciated it and wish

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I would have taken more heart to actually listening to it.

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:27.040
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know.

0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Again, with her being a therapist for both of us,

0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I kind of just had a grudge

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 4>where it was like, hey, I don't know how much

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:37.719
<v Speaker 4>you're playing into me, or how much you have her

0:53:37.800 --> 0:53:41.480
<v Speaker 4>in mind or what, but I don't know, therapist.

0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, look here's the thing I mean that does I

0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 3>don't think. I don't think that she was. I mean,

0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:50.319
<v Speaker 3>that's it's weird that she was seeing both of you

0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:52.759
<v Speaker 3>guys individuals.

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Like Maryland right there.

0:53:56.480 --> 0:53:59.719
<v Speaker 3>That's a conflict of interest right there. But again, I

0:53:59.719 --> 0:54:02.880
<v Speaker 3>don't like she was whatever she told you was in

0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:09.120
<v Speaker 3>the best interest of both of you, definitely, And my god, man,

0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I mean, what's your name again, Edwin? Edwin?

0:54:14.440 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, god, damn it, Edwin. You're only twenty two,

0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:21.040

<v Speaker 4>I mean, I already get told that I look way

0:54:27.000 --> 0:54:29.640
<v Speaker 4>older than I am. I've had people tell me I

<v Speaker 3>I mean you sound I mean, I don't know, man,

<v Speaker 3>Yes, You're gonna do great.

0:55:19.400 --> 0:55:22.279
<v Speaker 4>Do you want more context on the whole relationship this

0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:22.879
<v Speaker 4>past year?

0:55:23.600 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you do I want more context on the relationship?

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Not really truthfully, not really, because well, I'm gonna say

0:55:33.680 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 3>what I'm gonna say first and then i'll ask you this.

0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Not really, because I'm more interested in the present now.

0:55:38.200 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm far more interested truthfully in your present and future

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 3>life than I am in in, you know, mourning your relationship.

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Although again, if if this is you know, I want,

0:55:50.560 --> 0:55:52.239
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about whatever you want to talk about.

0:55:52.280 --> 0:55:54.359
<v Speaker 3>So if that's if the context is what you want,

0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 3>then go ahead. Why do you think I should be

0:55:57.200 --> 0:55:58.480
<v Speaker 3>enthralled in this context?

0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're right? I don't know. I feel like I

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:04.799
<v Speaker 1>have a I have a habit of sharing this right

0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:05.920
<v Speaker 1>now just because it's.

0:56:05.760 --> 0:56:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Like, please go for it if that's what.

0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:09.799
<v Speaker 4>You want to do in my life for a year.

0:56:10.040 --> 0:56:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So, like, I don't know. So, So we were we

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:19.040
<v Speaker 1>worked together, kind of she's not really showing up to work.

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 1>She has extended leave and stuff like that, so she's

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:27.080
<v Speaker 1>not there. But we worked together, and we were in

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:32.279
<v Speaker 1>a band, and I was friends with everybody in the band.

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 1>We were both friends with everybody in the band, So

0:56:36.040 --> 0:56:41.359
<v Speaker 1>she cheated with me with the drummer of our band. Uh,

0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:44.920
<v Speaker 1>And I found out a while ago, a couple of

0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:50.919
<v Speaker 1>months ago, probably like around April ish, And uh, yeah,

0:56:50.920 --> 0:56:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I've just been fighting, trying to get things to work out,

0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:56.319
<v Speaker 1>go back to how they were, or well not back

0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to how they were, and things would be different now.

0:56:58.800 --> 0:57:01.640
<v Speaker 1>But I was willing to look past it and try

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to save the marriage. But uh, clearly wasn't the solution.

0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:08.840

<v Speaker 4>to tell me what I should be doing and stuff

0:59:25.400 --> 0:59:27.120

<v Speaker 4>this is they're just saying that because they want to

0:59:29.160 --> 0:59:33.280
<v Speaker 4>protect me and not our relationship or whatever. But in reality,

0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I knew it was it was in my best interest

0:59:36.880 --> 0:59:41.439
<v Speaker 4>to let this go. So I'm trying to. I'm trying

<v Speaker 4>to get past it. But every everything that anyone's told

0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:50.960
<v Speaker 4>me has been super helpful. I'm just glad to talk

0:59:51.000 --> 0:59:52.880
