00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Hello, what's up? Welcome, Welcome to the Therapy Gecko podcast.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm Lyle, I'm a Gecko. This is Viewer Mail, Part two.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: So last week I did a little experiment. I went

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram and I asked people to send me mail,

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: to send me words, and I wanted to see if

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: I could do a podcast just talking alone with no

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: phone calls. And I did it, and I had an

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: awesome time. I hope you guys liked that episode two,

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: but most importantly, I enjoyed doing it. I had a

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: good time. So we're definitely gonna make this again. I

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a weekly thing, but it's definitely

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a thing. It's definitely gonna be a thing.

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: I only I got sent like eighty something emails and

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: I only read like twenty of them. So today I'm

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: just going to read more for like an hour slash

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: until I get bored and don't want to do it anymore.

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: But first I'm experimenting with some other I want to

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: talk about a couple things from my week. One thing

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: I really want to talk about is a magical thing

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: that happened as a result of doing this Viewer Male episode.

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: So last week, I spoke about how I have this

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: weird thing where I look myself up on Reddit a lot.

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: It's a bad habit. I hate it. It's not productive,

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: it's indulgent. I don't like it. It's bad thing to do,

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: but I do it. And I told the story about

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 1: how one time I was looking myself up on Reddit

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: and I found this post from this lady who like

28
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: posted in my subreddit being like I met the Gecko

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: in Austin after his show and I told him it

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: was my birthday and he didn't say happy birthday, and

31
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: now I don't like him anymore. And she wrote this

32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: like big, like essay, long rant about how like she

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: about how Piste off at me she was. And in

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: last week's episode, I talked about that and I said

35
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: I kind of was. I was like, I read that,

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, you know, fuck this person.

37
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: I was mad, and I expressed that I was mad

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: at this person for writing this thing on Reddit even

39
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: though it didn't really matter and anyway, so I talked

40
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: about that in the episode, and then I was listening

41
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: to the episode like the next day before I posted it,

42
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: and I was listening back to me telling this story

43
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: that I'm realizing how it's saying this all is. But

44
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm listening back to the story of me talking about

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: this lady's Reddit post and expressing that I pissed me off,

46
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know if I should

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: keep this part in. I don't know if I should

48
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: keep this part in because like, if she's hears it

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: and then she makes another thing, she just gets pissed off.

50
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: And I was gonna take it out. I was about

51
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: to take it out, and then I said to myself,

52
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: you know what, No, I'm keeping it in. This is

53
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to authentically express my feelings more on this thing,

54
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: because you know, if I'm not, then I guess what's

55
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: the point. And so I was like, you know what, No,

56
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it in. I don't think I was that

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: mean to this person. I left it. When I was talking.

58
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, we're cool. Me and this

83
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: because we all have like weird social interactions that we

84

Speaker 1: like regret or feel weird about either because like we

85
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: were being an asshole or someone was being an asshole

86
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to us or whatever whatever it was, and and you

87
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of just a lot of these things you just

88
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: don't get closure on and you just have to kind

89
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: of internally resolve. And so it's kind of a nice

90
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: healing thing. That is totally rare to read this comment

91
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: and have this girl be like, I'm sorry. I don't

92

Speaker 1: that was just a cool thing. I don't There's got

97
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: to be something to be gleaned from this about life.

00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: Pokemon cards got to the point where I could not

184
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: pay rent anymore. I used my credit card to buy

185
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars in very cool Pokemon cards, thinking I

186
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: would figure out how to pay rent later. I didn't.

187
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: I sold a bunch of them to afford to have

188
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: a roof over my head. My girlfriend is furious, my

189
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: parents are disappointed, and my cat just got her lady

190

Speaker 1: parts removed and the other cat was violently throwing up.

191
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,959

00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, he wrote, we actually spoke like six months

201
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: ago about how your podcast helped me join the Pokemon

202
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: card community. It has almost ruined my life. That's oh no,

00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: damn man, I mean you're twenty. I don't you can.

210
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how much are you in debt? Look? If

211
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: you blew all your money whatever, how are you in

212
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Let's see? Is he in debt? I use my credit

213
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: card to buy thousands of dollars? All right? Whatever? I

214
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess this is a situation where I

215
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: love going Dave Ramsey on people. It's fun, it's fun

216
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: to talk about this kind of stuff. But this guy,

217
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: if you just like had some money and you blew

218
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: it and now you're in debt, you're probably doing better

219
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: than I mean, what, Okay, so the vet bill was

220
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: two grand? What's the okay, he's twenty years old. Let's

221
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: google this. What's the average net worth fridge net worth

222
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: of twenty year old? I think the average net worth

223
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: is like negative. I think it's most people. Okay, it

224
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: says here that's seventy five hundred dollars. I feel like

225
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: that's not true. I feel like when you're like twenty,

226
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: I think that most people in twenty who are like

227
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: twenty years old are like in debt. So whatever, as

228
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: long as you're not like if you lost all your

229
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: you have all your life to you're only twenty, you

230
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: have all your life to build your financial universe to

231
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: some degree. You know, I don't know you. Well, it

232
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: looks like you didn't go to college, so you're actually

233
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: in less debt. I just I'm gonna say you're with

234
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Pokemon cards and this vet bill. Let's assume you're in

235
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: like ten thousand dollars of debt, but you didn't go

236
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: to college. You're probably in like less debt than a

237
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: lot of other twenty year olds. So you're gonna be fine,

238
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: just like, don't just I guess this is something to

239
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: learn from. Wait, I'm gonna read this email again and

240
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: see if it seems like he learned from it. My

241
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: addiction to Pokemon card, I used my credit card, I

242
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: sold them to uh he maybe he learned. As long

243
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: as he learned from it, he'll be fine. Now, if

244
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: you're listening to this, go on YouTube and listen to

245
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,920

00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Pokemon cards, if you go and buy more Pokemon cards

248
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: after this, you're you're fucked. But if you use this

249
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: as a learning experience, I think you're gonna be okay,

Speaker 1: real place. I'm sure I did say that. That hurt

305
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: my feelings, but I'm over it now. Jin know. I'm

306
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: trying to think of what I mean when I say

307
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: that's not a real place. You know what I'm gonna

308
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: you know what, Caleb, I sincerely, I mean this sincerely.

309
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: I want to take that back. I'm in a better

310
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: state of mind, I think, in this current moment than

311
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: in the current moment in which I said that. And

312
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: I want to take back saying that Boise, Idaho is

313
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: is not a real place. It is a real place.

314
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: There's people living there who say stuff and eat things,

315
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: and that's just and that's that's a microcosm of what's

316
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: going on in every other place in the entire planet Earth.

317
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: And I my true feeling is that every place is

318
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: equally as real and not real, because every place is

319
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of the same, because every place is just people

320
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: saying words and eating So I take back saying that

321
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Boise is not a real place. Okay, you said, I'm

322
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: over it. Now I exist here, so it is real

323
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: to me. I do know if three venues you could go, oh,

324
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I don't I'm probably not

325
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna do a show there. I know of three venues

326
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,879

344
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: I feel like I do this. I have like a

345
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: thousand thoughts once I tried to express them all. I've

346
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: been on two back to back world tours, and I

347
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: actually love doing stuff like this. Like like if I'm

348
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: in a random place and I'm doing a show there

349
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: and I meet some dude at a show and he's like,

350
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: you want to get in my car and I'll drive

351
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: you around Boise. I like doing shit like that. I've

352
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: done shit like that. I did like I was in Sydney, Australia,

353
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and this group of folks after the show were like, Hey,

354
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: do you want to come to our house and jam

355
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: with us? And I was like, yeah, that sounds cool.

356
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: So I just went to these stranger's house and muttered

357
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: nonsense into a microphone while they like played guitar. It

358
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: was a good time. I'm trying to give other I

359
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: went to the strip club with some people after a

360
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: show in Miami a few a few months ago. I

361
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: liked I liked doing shit like this, So if I

362
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: ever do, if I ever do, go to Boise, Idaho

363
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: and we're hanging and I'm like packing all my shit

364
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: up at the end of a show, and you say, hey,

365
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: do you want to get in my car and I'll

366
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: drive you to this mountain in the middle of Idaho.

367
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: There's a I'm not gonna I don't like to promise things.

368
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't like to promise things. There's a non zero

369
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: chance I would get in that car with you. But

370
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been on two back to back

371
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: world tours. I'm pretty tired. I don't know how much

372
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tour. It's gonna be a little bit before

373
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: I get back on the road after I finish these

374
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: Europe shows. But if I do, I'll if I do,

375
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: I'll look in the Boisadaho. Anyway, I don't know that

376
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: was too long of a rant. I'm sorry, thanks for

377
00:23:51,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: your email, Caleb. Okay, okay, let's see here. This is

378
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: from Kate. Uh sorry, this one is also a little

379
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: too long. Sorry, Kate. This all right, this is firm.

380
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start looking at the emails first before I

381
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: read their names, because I know a few of these people.

382
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Here's the thing if I by the way, if you

383
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: are listening to this and you think I said your name,

384
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: by the way, there could be two Kates, maybe three.

385
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: If you think I said your name, just send me

386
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: the email again, but just keep it to two paragraphs

387
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna keep doing these anyway. This is from Dan.

388
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: Hey man, I just wanted to say I'd be all

389
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: in for calling in and discussing the current situation of

390
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: modern dating that come with the trials and tribulations social

391
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: media brings to the table. Would be an absolute pleasure

392
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: to shoot the shit with you. I watch your shit

393
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: whenever I'm at home with a bottle of wine and

394
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: soaking in the introspective, weird and wonder full conversations you're

395
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: blessed to experience all my love Dan. Oh, and I'm

396
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: from the UK, so I guess that adds extra goodness

397
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: to shooting the shit with you, because politics and violence

398
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: is almost as fucked over here as it is in

399
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: the US. Is that true. I don't know shit about

400
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: UK politics, but if it's as fucked up as it

401
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: is here, that's pretty wild. Yeah. I don't know what

402
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: is dating like in the UK? What I don't Uh, yeah,

403
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: that's I guess that's a phone call conversation to have.

404
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: But just social Someone says, Okay, let me talk about this.

405
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: He says that the come okay, basically, you want to

406
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: talk about how social media has affected dating. I think

407
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: it's if he has pros and cons. I mean, people

408
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: who would have never ever met each other have now

409
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: met each other because of the Internet. It used to

410
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: be for like all of I mean, think about this,

411
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: for all of human fucking history before like twenty years ago.

412
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: Think about it, all of human history compared to twenty

413
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: meager years. That's nothing. For pretty much all of human history.

414
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: You just you had sex with whoever was next to you,

415
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: and you married them, and that was it. It was whoever

416
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: was next to you. It wasn't people are getting into

417
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: relationships with folks across the planet from them. Okay, this

418
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: is just whoever was next to you. It didn't matter

419
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: if you guys got along. I mean, you probably did

420
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: get along because you were probably very similar people because

421
00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: you lived, you had the same exact influences. Maybe it

422
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: was easier back Maybe it was easier back then. I'm

423
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: trying to debate if it was easier or not. You

424
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: could say it was easier because back then you just

425
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: got with whoever was right next to you. But it

426
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: was a pretty good shot that they were compatible with

427
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: you because they had the same upbringing as you and

428
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: the same cultural view of the world as you. Because

429
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: there was no internet, there was no anything. Maybe and

430
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: that probably you know what, that probably made it a

431
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: lot easier. I'd give it to that. But in like

432
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, the fifties or whatever, I felt, who knows.

433
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: You just also kinda had your pick of the people

434
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: who were around you. And maybe in that situation, maybe

435
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: the people around you during that time is a possibility

436
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: that they weren't as good for you as some lady

437
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: three one thousand miles away that you are never ever, ever,

438
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: ever ever gonna meet without the Internet. But I also

439
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: this is a paradox of choice, and social media gives

440
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: you infinite options and maybe that's not good. I don't know, man,

441
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: but you live in the UK. And also everyone you

442
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: meet probably has a British accent, which is cool, all right?

443
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: This from Jaden subject I'm having issues with my masculinity.

444
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: Jaden says, Dude, my prostate is so fucked it's leaking

445
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: green fluid and I don't know what to do about it.

446
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: My partner this is a one run on sentence. There

447
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: is no periods in this. I don't know what to

448
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: do about it. My partner keep saying I should go

449
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: to a doctor, but it's too gross for me to

450
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: even show them. Are you are you twelve? Dude? It

451
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: looks like a greasy plane from Lord of the Rings

452
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: swarmed with locusts. I think there's all right. I don't

453
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: care about this. This from Jonah. Jonah says airplane sink

454
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: or airplane urinal question mark question mark question mark in

455
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: all caps. You decide two exclamation points. Dearest Lyle, I've

456
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: wanted to ask your opinion on this for literally years.

457
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Every time I fly, I opt to pee in the

458
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: airplane sink instead of the toilet. Oh, thank god, we're

459
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: getting into some real shit with these emails. This is awesome.

460
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Thank I this more of this, and thank you so

461
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: much for sending you this, sending me this email. Jonah,

462
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to read the rest of this email.

463
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Every time I fly, I opt to pee in the

464
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: airplane sink instead of the toilet. I fully believe this

465
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: is the best course of action when confronted with the

466
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: airplane bathroom A I usually sit to pee, But three

467
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: hours into a flight, the seat is already cut in

468
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: p of the less considerate. This guy's complaining that that

469
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: other people pee on the toilet seat, and so it's

470
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: But dude, you're peeing where other people are washing their hands,

471
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: he says. There, he says, three hours into a flight,

472
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: the sea is already covered, The seat is already covered

473
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: in the pee of the less considerate. There is simply

474
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: no way I'm opting to put my ass on that,

475
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: bro Jonah. Okay, hold on before I'm gonna read the

476
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: rest of this email. Listen, Jonah, we have all in

477
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: public bathrooms, had to wipe the piss of another man

478
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: off a toilet seat. And look, we have all in

479
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: our days maybe accidentally pissed a little bit on the

480
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: toilet seat. This is what we call the circle of life. Okay,

481
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: that's like, if you're peeing in a public bathroom, you

482
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: might have to wipe another guy's piss off the toilet seat.

483
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Just just use multiple layers of toilet but don't use

484
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: one layer of toilet paper so that your fingers is

485
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: kind of the piss bleeds through and you get another

486
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: guy's piss on your hands. Just layer it up, wipe

487
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: the pee, and quit and quit fucking bitching. There is

488
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: simply no way I'm gonna put my ass on that. Okay.

489
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: Then he says, not only is the seat covered most

490
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: of the time, but so is the floor. I have

491
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: sympathy for those who can't aim because of turbulence, but

492
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: it's still nasty, he says. You know what solves both

493
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: of these problems pissing in the receptacle which is high

494
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: enough to properly what is this word ensconce you're Johnson

495
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: preventing my pee from getting all over the cabin, even

496
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: though the sink is the obvious. I feel guilt that

497
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: I am so far ahead of the rest of society.

498
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: Please absolve me, great Gecko with love, plain sink pisser,

499
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sending me this email. Jonah.

500
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: This is awesome, but I disagree with how you I

501
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: disagree with this, Jonah. You're listen, Jonah. I understand that

502
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: you are attempting to find a creative way to opt

503
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: out of the public restroom dance, but I'm not so

504
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: sure that pissing in the sink is that much. Hold on,

505
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna attempt to be open minded about this. I'm

506
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna really think about it. Peeing in the sink, peeing

507
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: in the sink? Do you wash the sink afterwards? Do

508
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: you make sure there's no piss left in the sink?

509
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: But so do you like, do you thoroughly wash out

510
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: the sink shit. I'm a little bit of the opinion

511
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter where's that water go. I'm a

512
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: little bit of the opinion that this guy peeing in

513
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the sink at versus peeing in the toilet achieves the

514
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: same result as long as he cleans the toilet. But

515
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: I let me ask, Jonah, why are you so above

516
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: the public bathroom dance. I encourage you, Jonah. I encourage you.

517
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that, Jonah. I encourage you to humble yourself.

518
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: I encourage you to look at the experience of using

519
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: a public bathroom as something that grounds you as a

520
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: there's something that grounds you to society, because we all

521
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: need to be humbled every now and then. Jonah, no

522
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: matter how great your life is going, how much money

523
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: you make, you know, if your relationships are good, if

524
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: you feel if no matter who you are, occasionally you

525
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: gotta wipe a little bit of piss off of a

526
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: toilet seat. And it's good. It's good to have those

527
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: moments in life that humble you. Jonah. So don't. I

528
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: would actually say that by pissing in the sink, you

529
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: are skipping what is a great human life experience to have.

530
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: It's like trying to cheat death. Basically, you're trying to

531
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: opt out of a natural human experience, and that's not good.

532
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: So I think you should continue. I think you should

533
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: stop peeing in the sink and learned to be okay

534
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: with wiping another man's piss off of a toilet seat.

535
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: It's not the worst thing in the world. Where's the

536
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: chat think? The chat says, uh, it all goes to

537
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: the same place. I agree with that. I don't really

538
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: think that this guy pissing in the sink matters that much,

539
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, as long as he

540
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: cleans the sink, all right, let's move on. All right.

541
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: This is from Megan. Subject line is freezing my neighbors

542
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: with magic. I'm excited to read this. Hi, Gak, I

543
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you about how I recently moved in

544
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: with my boyfriend. Our neighbors have been slightly irritating, and

545
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: this is how I decided to resolve the issue. We

546
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: moved in about two months ago, and I person only

547
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: have been loving it. It's quiet and peaceful. However, we

548
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: noticed a habit taking place where our neighbor will park

549
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: in the handicapped spot without having any license to do so.

550
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: The handicapped spot. All right, I guess this is like

551
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: a okay, this is like an apartment building that has

552
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: handicap spots. We ignored it at first because we were new,

553
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: but eventually we started to complain to management because these

554
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: spots are right in front of our apartment entrance. I mean,

555
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: are you are are you? Are you like disabled and

556
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: they're they're they're keeping their parking in your spot? Or

557
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: is it just like you don't like the principle of it.

558
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: We ignored it at first because we were new, but

559
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: eventually we started to complain to management because these spots

560
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: are right in front of our apartment entrance. They've also

561
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: used our spots, which I don't think is a huge deal,

562
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: but when you pay money is to get in as

563
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: signed place, it feels disrespectful. Why are you not mad

564
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: that I would be mad about that? Why are you

565
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: not mad that you're mad about the principle that they're

566
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: using the handicapped spots, but you're not mad that they're

567
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: in your spot. They've also used our spots, which I

568
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: don't think is a huge deal, but when you pay

569
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: money to get in the signed space, it feels disrespectful. No,

570
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: that's fucking annoying. We've heard people scream fuck your neighbors

571
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: late at night, and so the next day I started

572
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: thinking how we could maybe stop some of the reckless

573
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: behavior interfering with our home. Is it all right? I've

574
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: got very religious roots, but some of these New age

575
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: trends have inspired me. Over the past couple of years,

576
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: I've become very open minded when it comes to mixing

577
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: my beliefs, regardless if they contradict. I decided that I

578
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: would freeze my neighbor in hopes that it would lows

579
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: some of the problems we've been having, and to my

580
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: what the fuck, And to my surprise, it's worked absolutely

581
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: fantastic so far. Once I created the freezer spell, it

582
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: took about a day to see some results. It started

583
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: with her car getting towed and fined. Needless to say,

584
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: if you have immature neighbors who refuse to hear reason,

585
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: I'd recommend you freeze them. I really don't know if

586
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: I should give my real thoughts on this email. I

587
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: really don't know, dude, it's so much because I'm removed.

588
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: You know, what is the main difference between doing this

589
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: and doing the phone calls if this woman? If I

590
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: were talking to this woman right now, I would probably

591
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: be more open minded to her side of the events,

592
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: and I would probably not as authentically express how I

593
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: feel about this email. Oh God, I really, I really uh,

594
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: oh god, what's the chat think. Oh god, bro, I

595
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: don't know. Here's okay. I have a few thoughts. One

596
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: somebody else parking in the handicaps parking parking space. Dick move,

597
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: Dick move. I'm kind of like, like, do I need

598
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: to like tell on them to management? Do I care

599
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: that much? Probably not if they're parking in my space

600
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: or if I'm handicapped, I understand telling them to management,

601
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: But like a freezer spell, I don't know. Man, I

602
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: just this is a person. Oh god, oh man, I

603
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: really want to tell them all right. I here's why

604
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: I actually believe And Megan, I think. I don't think

605
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: you're a bad person. I don't want to start any

606
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: fights with you, but like, I think there are probably

607
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: better things you could do with your time in life

608
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: than coming up with spells to get your neighbor. Like

609
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: what do you do? Like do you have a family,

Speaker 1: do you have a job or do you have children? Like?

611
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,680

619
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,680

620
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: just audit my life and I would audit my priorities

621
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: and see if maybe there's something something of higher priority

622
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,200

00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't even even Honestly, even back when I was

656
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: in college, it was like an or high school. It

657
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,640

662
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. Number two, Uh, if you had

663
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: to choose between saving twenty dogs and saving the McDonald's corporation,

664
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: which would you choose? If you had to choose between

665
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: saving twenty dogs and saving the McDonald's corporation, which one

666
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: would you choose? Answer? Honestly, love you gecko, What do

667
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: you mean by saving the McDonald's Corporation? Like, I really

668
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know if I can answer this question,

669
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: only because I like, I don't know what does that mean?

670
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: Like when you say saving the McDonald's corporation, do you

671
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: mean like, if I choose the twenty dogs, every McDonald's

672
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: on Earth explodes. Uh, that would kill a lot more

673
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: people than the twenty dogs. So I'm unfortunately going to

674
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: abstain from this situation only because I don't know what

675
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: saving the McDonald's corporation means exactly. If it doesn't mean that, uh,

676
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: does it mean I can't eat McDonald's anymore? I'm gonna

677
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: save McDonald's. Fuck the No, I'm just kidding. I don't

678
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: if if you here, I'll say this, if you told

679
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: me that if I ever rate McDonald's again, twenty dogs

680
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: would die, I would I would stop eating McDonald's. I'll

681
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: say that, But uh, I don't know what breed? What

682
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of dogs are they? Are they like tiny annoying

Speaker 1: great time. Thank you, Joey words. You did a meet

708
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: and greet outside in the lobby, and I was so

709
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: excited to ask you a question that I had been

710
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: formulating for months prior. The question was in the shower,

711
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: do you wash your feet first or your asshole first?

712
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: You and I went back and forth for a solid

713
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: amount of time deciding which would be worse, shit on

714
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: your feet or dirt in your ass. We got to

715
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: the bottom of the answer, parentheses of which I've since

716
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: forgotten parentheses. That doesn't really matter, y'all. You get washed

717
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: no matter what. And afterwards we took a picture together

718
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: and we went about our night leaving the venue. My

719
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: girlfriend was very upset with me. I was so caught

720
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: up in my question to you, as well as being

721
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: starstruck meeting you for the first time, that I completely

722
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: blanked on the fact that I had asked her to

723
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: take the picture of us, disregarding the fact that she

724
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: also wanted to be in the picture. Ah ah man.

725
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: She was the one who introduced me to the podcast

726
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: after all. Suffice to say, I felt horrible afterwards. I

727
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: was extremely apologetic, and she ultimately understood that my mind

728
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: was going a million miles an hour. But I've never

729
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: been able to escape the guilt of that night. We

730
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: are no longer together, but we remain good friends to

731
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: this day. I'm not sure why I felt the need

732
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: to share this with you, but maybe you can help

733
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: me find some closure. Thank you, kind sir, Joey Damn.

00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: taker like she? Why didn't she just ask me to

00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: take a picture if she wanted a picture. I don't know.

Speaker 2: We'll take a picture, we'll do it. What does the

771
00:50:53,800 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 2: chat say? The chat says, uh uh, she probably got flustered.

772
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, this is a good point made by nervous

773
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: goblin in the chat. She probably got flustered by thinking

774
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 2: he didn't want her in the picture.

775
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand. No, no, I'm not, by the way, I'm

776
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: not discounting why this lady was mad. I understand why

777
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: she felt the way that she felt. Someone says, you

778
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: are an intimidating figure. GEK, I really don't want to

779
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: be I really anyway, all right, let's keep going. All right,

780
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: this is from Lyle. Subject line greeting's fellow Lyle. All right,

781
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. Hello Lyle, my name is also Lyle.

782
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: What's up, Lyle? I am just curious how many other

783
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: people you have met named Lyle? Not a lot? Not

784
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: a lot. I am thirty one years old and in

785
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: my life I have met two other people named Lyle,

786
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: one of them being my dad. I am Lyle. I'm

787
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: not gonna read your last name, one of them being

788
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: my dad. Uh, that's crazy that your dad just gave

789
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: you your name. I feel weird if I named my son Lyle.

790
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: I just think I was talking to myself the whole time.

791
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: Sort of a weird story. But when I was seventeen,

792
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: I broke my ankle really bad playing basketball, and my

793
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: orthopedic surgeon was named doctor Lyle. At one point, I

794
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: was sitting in surgery consultation and in the room was me,

795
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: my dad, and doctor Lyle. The doc is explaining to

796
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: us some jargony medical explanation for my injury, and out

797
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere, my dad cuts him off and says, you know, doc,

798
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: The three of us in here is probably the highest

799
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: concentration of Lyle's on Earth. I was sicking that too.

800
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Your dad is right, I don't meet a

801
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: lot of Liles. Hold on, I have to sneeze shop.

802
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: I don't meet a lot of Liles. And you and

803
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: doctor Lyle, you and your dad were probably the highest

804
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: concentration of Lyles in one room on Earth. Dude. There's

805
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: this thing called like the Ryan meet Up where like,

806
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: but there's obviously tons of Ryan's. What if I did

807
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: the lot where like a bunch of people named Ryan

808
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: all got together and they had a party and there

809
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: I think there's a Facebook group or some shit like that.

810
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: What if I did a Lile party? I was like,

811
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: all Lyles are invited to this thing? How many Liles

812
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: are there? Can't be that many. If I threw a

813
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: Lile party in New York City, I bet only like,

814
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: if I got two other people to show up that

815
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: were named Lyle, I'd be impressed. Is anyone else listening

816
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: to this podcast? Maybe I would? That be an insane idea.

817
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: Who who listens to this podcast? Asked in their name

818
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: is Lyle? Are there a lot of Lyle's? Are there

819
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: a lot of us out there that probably the three

820
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: of you guys probably was the highest concentration of Liles

821
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: on earth. Anyway, I hope all is well. Love to

822
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: see a fellow Lyle out there doing his thing best Lyle, Well, God,

823
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: a damn Lyle. I'm honored to uh, this is a

824
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: nice story. Tell your dad and your orthopedic surgeon. I said,

825
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: what's up? This is from Rebecca, subject line the little stuff, Hey, Lyle.

826
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: Not really too sure what a viewer male episode is

827
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: or what it would even be like. Honestly, I'm not

828
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: too sure what a lot of things are, but I

829
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: like that about the universe. I've tried calling him before,

830
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: but all I want to talk about is the little stuff.

831
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes I have bad anxiety over stupid things,

832
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: and then I try to force myself out of it.

833
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: This can be seen as noticing how the sunlight hits

834
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: the walls of my apartment, or even having a night

835
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: deep breath, occasionally taking a walk and finding some trash

836
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: on the ground that just so happens to look cinematic

837
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: in that moment. It can be a good It can

838
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: be good to reframe, and I find it challenges me

839
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: in the best way. Hold on I want to actually comprehend.

840
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have bad anxiety over stupid things, and I

841
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: try to force myself. Okay, these are this is how

842
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: she forces herself out of anxiety. Okay, I got it.

843
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: I love this, this is great. Anyway, I'm an illustrator.

844
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: I had just done that drawing of you and m F. Doom. Yo.

00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: Thanks man, peace and love. Yeah, this is no. Here's

865
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: the thing about the little stuff is it's real, right,

866
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: Like I often think a lot about like I'm in

867
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: a big I'm really really trying to figure out how

868
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: to how to find like lasting happiness, and I do

869
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is in the little stuff.

870
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: I was taking a I had like a brief windows

871
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: a week or two where I was really really happy

872
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: and I was just walking around and I was just

873
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: saying to myself, like, fuck, I love life. I love

874
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: looking at the sunlight on the walls of shit. I

875
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: love breathing and being like, oh my god, I can breathe.

876
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: This is awesome. It's finding trash that looks cinematic. This

877
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: is this person. The person who wrote this email is

878
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna be fucking happy forever. I love the person who

879
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: wrote this email that they're gonna be happy forever. That

880
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: nothing is gonna fuck this person up because she figured

881
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: out how to be happy looking at sun hitting a wall?

882
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: What a this person's a genius. That's like, that's that's

883
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: really it. If you can figure out how to there's

884
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: there's really there's really two ways I think to be

885
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: happy in life. Maybe this is a work. This is

886
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: something I just thought about. You either achieve and hoard

887
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: as many relationships and you know, romantic or otherwise, uh,

888
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, relationships and and experiences and achievements and just

889
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, what are the classic stuff? Right, You fill

890
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: your life with as much of that shit as possible

891
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: and and it makes you happy. Or you take the

892
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: baseline of what makes you happy and you put it

893
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: all the way down to breathing. You're like, all I

894
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: need to be happy is the ability to fucking breathe.

895
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: And I'm good. And I'm like, and I think you

896
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: can live a life where you're kind of again, this

897
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: is the thing I think about a lot and talk

898
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: about a lot in the podcast, is like balancing how

899
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: much of your happiness is just having a good perspective

900
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: on your life and kind of like internal work versus

901
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: like actually having a good life like external work, and

902
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: when you can get the baseline of your happiness down

903
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: to just like I'm just happy to breathe and look

904
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: at the sun. You're doing great, so I'm stoked for you. Rebecca.

905
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: If you have any advice for me on how to

906
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: how to notice the sunlight more instead of thinking about,

907
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, how the stock market is doing, please let

908
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: me know. And thank you again for the MF doing print.

909
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:57,560

01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:10,959
Speaker 1: It was a different Lucas. It was a different Lucas. Okay.

912
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: This is from Finlay. Subject line spray painting and uh

913
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: fear of something line spray painting and fear of people.

914
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: This is from Finlay. Hey, gek, I'm eighteen years old

915
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: and I live in Atlanta. But apart from that, I'm

916
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: trying to get into the whole graffiti thing. But the

917
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: main issue is that I'm not really the best I

918
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: have been practicing, but I was invited to go do

919
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: this stuff with some pretty cool guys. These guys are

920
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: like really cool though, and I don't know how to

921
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:50,439
Speaker 1: talk to them. Also, my name is Finlay. Oh wow,

922
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I love this email. Well, okay, a couple of things.

923
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Here's a couple of things. One, don't get arrested just

924
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, I mean graffiti whatever, who gives whatever I mean,

925
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: don't get arrested. Just be careful, don't I don't know,

926
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: don't get arrested. But anyway, aside from that, if we're

927
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk about if this wasn't a graffiti, I'm not

928
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna be your fucking dad about it. But let's talk

929
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: about this. You're a nervous for two reasons that you've expressed.

930
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Reason number one is that you think you're not good

931
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: enough at art to be there. And the reason number

932
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: two is these people are really cool and you don't

933
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: know how to talk to them. You're afraid maybe you're

934
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: not cool enough to hang out with them. Let's talk

935
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: about that first. Here's the thing, Finlay, remember this for

936
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the rest of your fucking life. If someone really is

937
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: that cool, they'll be easy to talk to and you

938
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: won't need to impress them because if they're really that cool,

939
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: they'll just be nice to you and cool to you,

940
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: regardless of like how you are, regardless of how you're

941
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: like presenting yourself. You know, as long so if in like,

942
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: as long as you're approaching your interactions in your life

943
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: with like good faith, you know what I mean. You're

944
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: trying your best to not be an asshole. You have

945
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: good faith intentions. As you move through the world and

946
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: you go out and you talk to people and you

947
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: do things, you're fine, you know. And then if these

948
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: people really are that cool, they'll be inviting to you.

949
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: They'll be easy for you to talk to, they'll be uh,

950
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, you won't feel on it. If these people

951
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: are really that cool, you won't feel on edge with them.

952
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: If you think these people are cool because they like

953
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: dress a certain way, or like they're good at art

954
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: that you know, who gives a shit about any that stuff?

955
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: That doesn't fucking matter. So if these guys really are

956
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: that cool, they'll be easy to hang out with and

957
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: you won't need to worry about presenting yourself as some cool,

958
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: fancy fucking art kid. So don't worry about that. And

959
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: then the whole thing about like I'm not that good

960
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: at art. Bro, you're eighteen and you're about to go

961
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: to this weird graffiti tagging event. Who gives a shit?

962
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: If you're good at art, you're there to get into

963
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: You're there. You're not going there to be good at ar.

964
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you are, but you're really going there

965
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: to like fucking get into a weird experience and socialize

966
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: and get build community. Got into the universe. So whether

967
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: or not you're good at the art doesn't it doesn't

968
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: really matter to me. Good on you for getting out

969
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: there and uh doing some shit. Fear of people, you

970
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: wrote in your subject line, good on you, I liked

971
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I like this guy a lot. I really do. I

972
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: like this guy a lot because he's afraid of people

973
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: and afraid of social interaction, it seems. But you know what,

974
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna go anyway. That's what I like about. That's

975
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: what I like about Finlay. He's gonna go no matter what.

976
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully as long as you go, just go, Finlay, just

977
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: go approach your interactions with good faith and with the

978
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: intention that you want to meet people and have fun

979
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: and do your ship and uh and you're good man.

999
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: walked across the Canadian border from Buffalo to Canada. I

1000
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: just I was like standing with my little suitcase of

1001
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: T shirts. I might have told this story on the

1002

Speaker 1: I like Canada. I like Canada, but it's only kind

1020
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: of real. Thank you for listening to the show. Ryan. Okay.

1021
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: This is from Evan subject viewer male episode. Evan says,

1022
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: my girlfriend that I live with has dyspraxia and struggles

1023
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: to know left from right. I'm the driver in the relationship.

1024
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: What is dyspraxia. I've never heard of this in my life.

1025
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Dyspraxia is a neurological development disorder that affects a person's

1026
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: ability to coordinate physical movements. Okay, you said my girlfriend

1027
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: has all This is a two sentence long My girlfriend

1028
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: has dyspraxia and struggles to know left from right. I'm

1029
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: the driver in the relationship. First of all, that's a

1030
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: weird sentence. I don't like that sentence. I'm the driver

1031
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: in the relationship. Oh okay, hold on, Oh okay, I'm

1032
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: an idiot. I thought he meant like. I thought he

1033
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: met like metaphorically. I think he literally just means he

1034
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: drives the car. Unless if he means like he's the

1035
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: metap he's the like top dog in the relationship. That's

1036
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,799
Speaker 1: why I thought he meant I think he literally means

1037
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: he drives the car. Okay, uh okay, in that case,

1038
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: that would make sense. All right, I don't really know

1039
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: what else to do with his email, so let's move on.

1040
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, this email is stupid. Okay. This is from

1041
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:45,799
Speaker 1: Matt subject line my Hedgehog story. Dear mister t Gecko,

1042
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: I like that. Thank you for taking the time to

1043
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: read my email. Attached is a story for you and

1044
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: your viewers. We have to go back to nineteen ninety

1045
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: six when I was in kindergarten. It was winter vacation

1046
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: and I got to take the class pet home over

1047
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: the break. It was a hetchhog, and we didn't know

1048
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: it to feed it. My parents gave it a bunch

1049
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: of mealworms and it ate them like all you could

1050
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: eat shrimp. We found it the next morning and it

1051
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: was dead. We thought the mealworms poisoned the hetchhog, and

1052
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: we had a private burial in our backyard. Not so fast, now, Sonic,

1053
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: that was stupid. I wish I didn't say that, but

1054
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it in uh. For years, when I encountered mealworms,

1055
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,440
Speaker 1: I would reflect that they're poisonous to hetchhogs. Until very recently,

1056
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know the truth. Hedgehogs hibernate. They gorge themselves

1057
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: on insects before hibernation, and that big mealworm probably oh okay,

1058
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: and that big mealworm meal probably triggered its hibernation. Oh

1059
01:10:55,439 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: my god. We accidentally buried that poor head chog six

1060
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: feet deep in the backyard alive because we thought it

1061
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: was high. Because we thought it was dead when it

1062
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: was really hibernating. Oh no, that's really sad. That's really

1063
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: fucked up. That's a crazy story, he says. Imagine, he says,

1064
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Imagine having a really big meal like hot pot or

1065
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: all you can eat shrimp and taking a deep nap

1066
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:43,560
Speaker 1: and waking up buried underground. Big yikes, Jesus, that's a

1067
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: fucked up set. That's a really fucked up story. Goddamn.

1068
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that sucks. At least I guess at least

1069
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: he dies. Well I was gonna say at least he died,

1070
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, having a big meal. But he didn't die.

1071
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: He died suffocating in a box. By the way, six

1072
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: feet do you really bury that motherfucker? Six feet? Six

Speaker 1: feet is a little deep for a hedgehog. That sucks.

1074
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: It sucks to be that hedgehog. Yeah, it's a fucked

1077
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Maybe you Maybe you die and

1078
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: you go to the gates of Saint Peter and Shadow

1079
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: of the Hedgehog is there and he banishes you to

1080
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: hell forever. All right, I'll read one more. All right,

1081
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: here's one. This is Alec subject line sad a wrapper.

1082
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Hey man, I hope this email finds you. I like

1083
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: that it's very neutral. I am a musician from Massachuset.

1084
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: I spent all of high school playing saxophone to get

1085
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: into Berkeley College of Music, which is considered one of

1086
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the most prestigious contemporary music colleges in the world. And

1087
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,919
Speaker 1: I got in, but after four years of playing sax

1088
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: in college, I lost my love for it. Practice in

1089
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: sax became a chore that I never wanted to do,

1090
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:28,480
Speaker 1: and I ended up resenting the instrument. I have recently

1091
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: found a new passion comedic rap. I love it, but

1092
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,440
Speaker 1: I am worried that I don't have the social media personality,

1093
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: the connections, the looks and age, or even the actual

1094
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: skill to do it. And I feel like a piece

1095
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: of shit for wasting my college years and putting myself

1096
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 1: in debt just to never play the sax again. I'm

1097
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: afraid now to go all in on this since it

1098
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: is a big risk considering the subject matter. My question

1099
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: for you is, would you listen to my very first

1100
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: rap song that I ever wrote? And then he sent

1101
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 1: me a link. I'll listen to it later. I can't

1102
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: listen to it right now. And then he says, and

1103
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: is this something you think I should pursue? Thank you

1104
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: for reading. I hope my song brings a smile to

1105
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:24,719
Speaker 1: your face, mister best Wait, Alec, have we talked before?

1106
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Did we talk on the podcast? Anyway? I will listen

1107
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: to your song later, but I don't want to listen

1108
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: to it right now. And truthfully, my response to this email,

1109
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't need to listen to this to respond to

1110
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the things that you were saying in your email of

1111
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: whether or I think this is something you should pursue.

1112
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I empathize with your struggle, man, I really do. I think.

1113
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,560
Speaker 1: I think I definitely understand. You know something that you

1114
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: that you really like and have passion for, like becoming

1115
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: a chore, and then you end up resenting it. I've

1116
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: been having a lot of life epiphanies lately, Alec, And

1117
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: one of the life epiphanies that I've been having lately

1118
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: is that nothing really fucking matters except what you are

1119
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: actually doing, like the literal process of what you are

1120
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: actually doing, and then like who you're around, like who

1121
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: you're doing, what you're doing with, and so the question

1122
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: of should you pursue it. If you like doing this,

1123
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: like you simply enjoy the process of wrapping, you should

1124
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: do it until you don't fucking like doing it anymore.

1125
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: If you're put, if you're in a whole thing of like, oh,

1126
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 1: I I'm just doing this to like fucking like because

1127
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: you're put, you're putting a whole thing on it of like,

1128
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: oh I need to make money doing this, I need

1129
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: to be successful doing this. You're just gonna end up

1130
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: presenting it again, dude, You're just gonna endpresenting it again.

1131
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: Like if you really if you really want, dude, go

1132
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: fucking do something else for money and then make raps

1133
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 1: because you like making raps. You're not gonna suddenly like

1134
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: it more because it's successful. You have a baseline of

1135
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: whether or not you like it. So if if you're

1136
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: if you're enjoying doing it, keep fucking doing it, keep

1137
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 1: fucking doing it. I also don't think that you what

1138
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 1: what else has you read in this email? I don't

1139
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: think you wasted any I mean, you wasted a bunch

1140
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: of money. You totally, you totally did waste a bunch

1141
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: of money, But you didn't waste any time you didn't

1142
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: waste any time because you liked playing the sax in

1143
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: the moment that you were doing it, and maybe you

1144
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: had fun in college. Maybe you I don't know, did

1145
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: cocaine once or something and you had fun. Uh So, yeah,

1146
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: of course you should keep doing it. I don't need

1147
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 1: to listen to this to know if you should keep

1148
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: doing it or not. Just do things that you like

1149
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 1: and then die. I think that's how life works. But

1150
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm also, by the way, a huge

1151
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: fucking hypocrite. Just so you know, I do things I

1152
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: don't want to do for in life all the time.

1153
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway, just keep going alec huh. Well that's it.
