Speaker 1: what those are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the it I was referring to in this moment

Speaker 4: I only just made a twitch, So like I got
Speaker 4: the notification, like, yeah, I never actually seen your live.
Speaker 5: And I did it.

Speaker 4: car and getting my own place. That's pretty much the
Speaker 4: big goal.
Speaker 1: Old car, getting your own place. Uh, what's stopping you

Speaker 4: So that's that's where I'm at now. I'm just trying
Speaker 4: to get out.
Speaker 1: And I've got a question. And by the way, look
Speaker 1: we've met each other for two seconds, and so you
Speaker 1: don't owe me any information about your life that you're
Speaker 1: not comfortable telling me. But you know, is are are
Speaker 1: are you planning on raising the kid alone? Is the
Speaker 1: dad going to be in the picture?
Speaker 4: He wants to be, so, like, I'm gonna let him
Speaker 4: do that as long as he wants to be. But
Speaker 4: like I've I've decided, I'm it's got to be once
Speaker 4: I'm out of the house, be because we're just co
Speaker 4: living right now.
Speaker 6: Sure, sure, which is it's something.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you can imagine. I don't gotta you can
Speaker 4: read blink, but but uh yeah, hopefully if if that's
Speaker 4: what if that's what he wants, he says that's what
Speaker 4: he wants, so I'll allow that. But if if he
Speaker 4: chooses not to, I'm not gonna stop him.
Speaker 1: I find it so interesting. I find it impressive, honestly,
Speaker 1: how indifferent you are to him being a part of
Speaker 1: the picture. Because yeah, I mean just on a personal level,
Speaker 1: like if I had a kid, I would be, you know,
Speaker 1: feeling like I would need all the help I can get.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed by this, this level of confidence that you're displaying.
Speaker 4: I'm trying. I'm trying. I mean, the first couple this
Speaker 4: is this is all fresh like a month, a month
Speaker 4: or two, and I've had I've had support from my friends. Uh,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm outside of my porch. Uh sorry, lest
Speaker 4: my chain of thought.
Speaker 1: Reached out.
Speaker 4: I've reached out to friends and family and they've been
Speaker 4: helping out little by little. I was doing like the
Speaker 4: single mos thing before all this, so he was working,
Speaker 4: but now that he's not, I had to go out
Speaker 4: get it, get a job, which I found right away.
Speaker 4: With everything going on, everybody is hiring. So now it's
Speaker 4: just making those financial moves and getting It's gonna be
Speaker 4: a long process and I'm trying to just take it
Speaker 4: day by day, you know what I mean, because fighting
Speaker 4: and bickering and trying to get like that's not gonna
Speaker 4: I didn't gonna stop nothing.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm hmmm. And I'm just really good mindset about
Speaker 1: all this.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to stay positive, I really am. It comes
Speaker 4: and goes, well, thank you you.
Speaker 7: Have you always wanted to have a kid, Yeah, I
Speaker 7: always wanted I wanted to have I always wanted to
Speaker 7: have a son, and I got him and he's he's
Speaker 7: one years old now, and.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: No, don't be sorry.
Speaker 4: I live in a city full of I'm.
Speaker 1: Trying to determine if that is a truck or some
Speaker 1: sort of inner city swamp monster.
Speaker 4: It's definitely an inner city swamp monster, you know.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm also proud of you for, you know,
Speaker 1: because if I lived in an area with inner city
Speaker 1: swamp monsters, I would think to myself, should I bring
Speaker 1: a child into this world? And I appreciate the fact
Speaker 1: that you are willing to do so in spite of
Speaker 1: the fact that you live in an area with inner
Speaker 1: city swamp monsters.
Speaker 4: Well, you gotta keep you gotta keep a look at
Speaker 4: you gotta have a dog, you gotta have all the
Speaker 4: things you need to keep all the swamp monsters at day.
Speaker 4: So as long as you have all that, sut, you
Speaker 4: can just do anything. You can do anything as long
Speaker 4: as you put your mind to it. That's what I'm
Speaker 4: trying to keep.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Tell me, but really quick, what
Speaker 1: what are you most excited about? Uh? For having this child?
Speaker 4: Watching?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. It's something I've always wanted, like since
Speaker 4: I was little little, like I want to grow up
Speaker 4: and have a family, And it's been kind of it's
Speaker 4: kind of hard knowing that like I'm not going to
Speaker 4: have that perfect family like most you know statistics. I'm
Speaker 4: sure you've seen them all too well.
Speaker 1: But okay, well I want to actually kind of want
Speaker 1: to talk about that for just a second here, because
Speaker 1: this idea and I'm not trying to you know whatever,
Speaker 1: but this idea of like a perfect family is child.
Speaker 4: Yes. Really that's what I've That's what I've been like
Speaker 4: recently trying to like accept and trying to keep in
Speaker 4: my positive mindset. You know, kids, you watch a lot
Speaker 4: of shows and watch a lot of movies, and I
Speaker 4: really you always know there's a you know, their kids
Speaker 4: living with their grandparents, one mom, one dad, two moms,
Speaker 4: two dads, you know, whatever the situation may be. But like,
Speaker 4: as long as the house is full of love. And
Speaker 4: that's what my breakup was about. We had been going
Speaker 4: downhill a while, and it was more he had to
Speaker 4: pull the bullet, he had to pull the trigger, but
Speaker 4: like it was mutually accepted, and it's kind of hard
Speaker 4: to sometimes to accept that. I was kind of like
Speaker 4: I was real wall away for one for a week,
Speaker 4: but then I kind of had to like you know,
Speaker 4: kind of like shake it off and like you know,
Speaker 4: there's there's more than me now, and I guess it's
Speaker 4: kind of having something that's more than me. That's what
Speaker 4: I look forward to.
Speaker 1: I like that. I just want to say a couple
Speaker 1: of things first, so I fully agree with you. That
Speaker 1: was what I was thinking too, is that you know,
Speaker 1: a perfect family, you know, it's just one with a
Speaker 1: lot of love in it, exactly again, again, I appreci
Speaker 1: I'm so impressed, I'll say it again by the confidence
Speaker 1: that you're displaying, and like, you know, I don't. You know,
Speaker 1: it's great that he wants to be in the picture,
Speaker 1: but I don't need him. You know, you can handle
Speaker 1: these things, these things on your own, So you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm impressed by all of this, and I
Speaker 1: hope that you you don't succumb to any pressures of
Speaker 1: wanting a perfect family, because that, to me, is not
Speaker 1: something that even exists.
Speaker 4: No, I agree at this point. At this point, I've
Speaker 4: come to realize my perfect family is me, that little boy,
Speaker 4: my derby faced pug of a dog, my cat, and
Speaker 4: the snake, and that's that's those are the only things
Speaker 4: that I need to worry about.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, Thank you so much for sharing Alissa, I wish
Speaker 1: you best to luck and have a good rest to
Speaker 1: the night.
Speaker 4: Can you too, thank you again for having.
Speaker 1: Me guy, of course, take care Lissa, you too have
Speaker 1: a good night.

Speaker 1: Hello Rennie? How are you?
Speaker 11: I'm doing awesome?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 1: Do you know I'm doing good? It took me a
Speaker 1: little bit to get back into the rhythm of being
Speaker 1: on the internet talking to people, you know, like when
Speaker 1: you've been out of the the the zone for a
Speaker 1: little bit, you kind of have to ease back into it.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm in a better place now
Speaker 1: to you know, converse with you, Rennie, like Renn and stimpy,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what are you doing?
Speaker 7: Oh man?
Speaker 11: Everything, I'm doing great. I've been wanting to get on
Speaker 11: your show for a while because I've been really happy
Speaker 11: about something. Honestly, you know, I came out as by
Speaker 11: not too long ago, and I found out, like I
Speaker 11: have these feelings and sorry, I'm like nervous talking about
Speaker 11: it because it's awesome going not on your show.
Speaker 9: Because I want to. I want to show this boss.
Speaker 11: My kind of girlfriend. But yeah, it's like we've been
Speaker 11: friends for so long.
Speaker 9: And I've been through so much and she's always.
Speaker 11: Been there for me and kind of have feelings for
Speaker 11: her and found out she has feelings for me.
Speaker 9: And oh man, it's been it's been great. It's been awesome,
Speaker 9: and it's been a long time.
Speaker 11: So this is good.
Speaker 1: So tell me. So you sound like you're very happy.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, like what aspects are there aspects of particular
Speaker 1: that you're happy about this?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you happy that you feel more free to be yourself?
Speaker 1: Happy mainly that you're about to try to embark. It
Speaker 1: sounds like on a new relationship with a person.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11: And the thing is, honestly, when when I was in
Speaker 11: my previous relationships, it was.
Speaker 4: It was just toxic.
Speaker 11: I've I always had these feelings, like I've always liked
Speaker 11: the same sex as well, but I never showed it
Speaker 11: because you know, the way I wrote was like it's
Speaker 11: you know, usually like boys. That's that's pretty much it.
Speaker 9: But I was in that relationship and I found out
Speaker 9: it was so toxic, Like I couldn't cut my hair
Speaker 9: because he hated it that I looked.
Speaker 11: Like a boy, and it just really, really.
Speaker 9: Really hurt my self esteem and it really really messed
Speaker 9: me up for a long time. And you know, meeting
Speaker 9: this he's so great. She always encouraged me to just
Speaker 9: be myself. I wanted to cut my hair short for
Speaker 9: the longest time, and you know, I finally took the
Speaker 9: plunge and I did it, and my god, I feel amazing.
Speaker 9: I just I feel so much more comfortable in my
Speaker 9: own body.
Speaker 4: It's just great.
Speaker 11: And I just wanted to share that with you, and
Speaker 11: I guess everybody else on the internet.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you. Ready. I always say, it can
Speaker 1: be difficult to be yourself in many situations, and even
Speaker 1: if it causes you some sort of short term pain
Speaker 1: maybe with you know, your parents or I don't know
Speaker 1: who the people or things are in your life that
Speaker 1: were causing friction, But even if it causes short term
Speaker 1: pain in those relationships, I'm proud of you for doing
Speaker 1: it because it always pays off in the end, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And I mean it's been so long, man, I'm
Speaker 11: about to turn thirty in this October, so it's like
Speaker 11: I do think this, yeah, I think keeping this in
Speaker 11: for so long, and it just feels gracious to finally
Speaker 11: let it all out and be me, you know, so
Speaker 11: just wanted to share that to everybody, and I hope
Speaker 11: everybody listening. Just be yourself all you can ask for?
Speaker 1: Man, Can I ask you something? And you don't have
Speaker 1: to again? You know, this seems like, you know, you
Speaker 1: don't have to tell me anything that you don't want
Speaker 1: to tell me, or talking about aything you want to
Speaker 1: talk about. But yeah, I am curious. Is there a
Speaker 1: reason why you decided to wait so long?
Speaker 11: Well? I was when I was in that toxic relationship.
Speaker 9: I was with him for almost eleven years actually, and
Speaker 9: it was more like you know, I I it was
Speaker 9: kind of manipulative, and it was like, you know, you
Speaker 9: can't sign anybody better.
Speaker 11: You know, you, this is the best you can do.
Speaker 11: You're always wrong, I'm right.
Speaker 9: And it just it really really really fucked me up
Speaker 9: for a long time. But you know, I I started
Speaker 9: therapy about a year and a half ago, you know,
Speaker 9: just talking about all that, and it's just it's just
Speaker 9: feels like such a weight off my shoulders to actually
Speaker 9: be able to be myself.
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's.
Speaker 9: Been it's been a journey, man, a journey, but I'm
Speaker 9: really happy. I just finally feel comfortable with me.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much for sharing. N I hope
Speaker 1: that I hope that other people hear this and get inspired.
Speaker 11: Absolutely absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 10: Man, I love you.

Speaker 13: I actually has problems.
Speaker 1: Honestly, do you're the first person that actually has problems?
Speaker 13: Well, listen, I don't mean that disrespectful, because everyone that
Speaker 13: called in today.
Speaker 6: They actually you know what.
Speaker 13: I take that back, But I'm in pain, which I
Speaker 13: got go you're in pain?
Speaker 1: Well let me. I want to just say a few
Speaker 1: things up front first, if I can.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I have.
Speaker 1: No idea what I'm doing. The express purpose of this
Speaker 1: stream is less so to help solve people's problems, and
Speaker 1: more so I don't know. I can't finish that sentence,
Speaker 1: but I'm not qualified to do anything. I hope you
Speaker 1: are aware of that.
Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, and listen, I think your stream is great.
Speaker 13: I having a couple of drinks and I'm actually beside
Speaker 13: my loved one right now. And we had some problems.
Speaker 13: We thought we'd call you and you can help figure
Speaker 13: it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, these are relationship problems.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, please, I'd love to please go ahead.
Speaker 13: Okay, how about I'm gonna say Elizabeth, you chime in
Speaker 13: as well.
Speaker 6: What do you think our real problem is here?
Speaker 1: Yes, let's hear from her.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I don't know if we have a problem. We've been
Speaker 10: living in his parents' basement for two years, saving up
Speaker 10: for a house, and I think it's just living here
Speaker 10: with the five grandkids and his parents can be kind
Speaker 10: of suffocating.
Speaker 13: And I think you should be a grateful What do
Speaker 13: you think?
Speaker 1: So? I look, how old are you?
Speaker 6: Guess we're old enough?
Speaker 13: Fulton, I'm twenty nine, you're twenty.
Speaker 1: I always think, Look personally, I think living with your
Speaker 1: parents in their basement whatever, to save some money, you know,
Speaker 1: living kind of annoyingly for a few years, so that
Speaker 1: you can live well later on. I always think it
Speaker 1: is a good decision if you can hack it.
Speaker 14: That's true.
Speaker 10: I don't like going in the kitchen, so I just
Speaker 10: eat a lot of canned beans, and I can't order
Speaker 10: uber eat because I'm ashamed too, and it just makes
Speaker 10: me nervous.
Speaker 1: Are you avoiding the kitchen because you don't want to
Speaker 1: run into any of the grandkids.
Speaker 10: Yes, exactly, because they eat Nitella every day for breakfast,
Speaker 10: and he gets mad. He thinks I'm food shaming them.
Speaker 10: I'm not.
Speaker 13: It's food shaming the children.
Speaker 1: I'm confused as to why you're afraid to be around
Speaker 1: the children because they eat Natela.
Speaker 10: Well, it's just they get really really hyper after like
Speaker 10: they run around and they scare our cats because they stomp.
Speaker 10: We're in the basement and there's no soundcrooping, and they're stomping,
Speaker 10: and the cats freak out and one of my cats
Speaker 10: got ball.
Speaker 1: Forget about the cats for just saying, why do they
Speaker 1: scare you?
Speaker 10: Oh, they scare me because I'm just not used to kids.
Speaker 13: Really, I think she's actually afraid this is what our
Speaker 13: kids to be like. I'm sorry, sorry, Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: Are you guys planning to have kids?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I want to.
Speaker 13: This is a this is like a serious problem, but yeah,
Speaker 13: I want to.
Speaker 6: She's amaze.
Speaker 1: Because she sounds like she doesn't like kids, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, this is completely understandable. Kids are terrible.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, well, yeah, I agree yeah, other.
Speaker 6: Kids are terrible, but my own I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I I agree with that sentiment, but I okay, Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: I still don't understand why you don't want to go
Speaker 1: into the kitchen because of all these kids. Well, you
Speaker 1: can just ignore them, by the way, if they want to,
Speaker 1: if they want to call you aunt or I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're they can aunt then when
Speaker 1: they say aunt Elizabeth, AUNTI Elizabeth, just ignore them. You
Speaker 1: owe them nothing. Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 10: Don't want to ignore them and give them a complex either,
Speaker 10: you know, like they're kids. I get it, but like
Speaker 10: if I haven't had my coffee yet and they want
Speaker 10: to play ring around the rosie, I just it makes
Speaker 10: me feel exhausted before I've even started my day.
Speaker 1: Look, you can't set yourself on fire just to make
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids happy, you know.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1: You got I feel like you should have sort more
Speaker 1: dominance over the kitchen instead of letting these kids make
Speaker 1: it into the lord of the flies.
Speaker 10: Oh I like that. What's the practical one practical tip
Speaker 10: I can do to do that? Because I even bought
Speaker 10: a coffee maker so I would be downstairs, and I
Speaker 10: feel like they won that battle. So what's something I
Speaker 10: could How do I assert dominance in the kitchen?
Speaker 1: Well, don't hit any of them?
Speaker 10: No oh, I could replace the matella with like something healthy.
Speaker 13: No, I don't know, no, no, no, this is all
Speaker 13: I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Just to keep ignoring them. That's what you should do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's your asserted here's your assertion of dominance. This is
Speaker 1: to just ignore them.
Speaker 10: There's five though, four hundred foot square, four hundred score pookay,
Speaker 10: I guess I could. Okay, just just act like.
Speaker 1: This is what mindfulness is about. This is what mindfulness
Speaker 1: is about. Is how can you be centered even if
Speaker 1: there's five fucking kids? Because that's the thing. If you can,
Speaker 1: if you can find the mental juice though to make
Speaker 1: your freaking coffee as stoically as possible, or five kids
Speaker 1: are whipping you with a jumping rope, you can do anything, Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: Take it as a challenge.
Speaker 10: Getto I kind of think to you tomorrow morning, beautiful.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much for for for calling in.
Speaker 1: I wish you the best of luck. Enjoy the house
Speaker 1: that you will inevitably UH receive as a reward for
Speaker 1: your troubles or I don't know, maybe you'll die before then.
Speaker 1: The life is crazy, but I hope you though.
Speaker 10: Thanks, you're the best.
Speaker 1: You have a good I guess yeah.
Speaker 6: I take care.
Speaker 3: All from Max.
Speaker 1: Max.
Speaker 6: Yeah good.
Speaker 12: Hey, how's it going.
Speaker 1: Can something be anything?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean i'd say so.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Like, just based on the physical properties of you know,
Speaker 12: the universe, I'd say something could be anything.
Speaker 1: Do you know a lot about the physical properties of
Speaker 1: the universe?
Speaker 12: No, not at all. And I'm not going to pretend
Speaker 12: like I do either, but I do know a lot
Speaker 12: of big words.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Look, here's the thing. A guy, anyone
Speaker 1: who will just come out and just say that they
Speaker 1: don't fucking know, I will believe you more than I
Speaker 1: will someone who's like I went to college and I
Speaker 1: know what the molecule late is, Like, do you don't
Speaker 1: know anything?
Speaker 5: Dude?
Speaker 12: Come on, No, I went to college and I incurred
Speaker 12: a lot of debt.
Speaker 1: Yes, what did you What did you go for?
Speaker 12: Oh my god, you name it. I've I was. I
Speaker 12: had like four or five different majors and then and
Speaker 12: then I never finished. So like, I'm kind of good
Speaker 12: at a few things, and then everything else is just backwash.
Speaker 1: Tell me these things that you're kind of good at.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 12: Well, I was a music major that that didn't work
Speaker 12: out because I didn't want to do the work. I
Speaker 12: just wanted to be like a rock star. I guess
Speaker 12: I was hoping that I would end up with a
Speaker 12: degree in being a rock star. Then I was an
Speaker 12: English major, which we all know that's a big old
Speaker 12: wasted time. Sorry if you're an English major. Then I
Speaker 12: was a communications man. So it's like I went from
Speaker 12: like English pretty pretty specific, then Communications a little broader,
Speaker 12: and then tried my hand at computer sciences that didn't
Speaker 12: work out. Then I then I quit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the thing with the music major is like
Speaker 1: all this shit you can just learn how to make
Speaker 1: music on YouTube man for free.
Speaker 12: I know, I know, yeah, I know, trust me. I
Speaker 12: mean it's a it seemed like.
Speaker 1: What were you going to say?
Speaker 12: No, it just seemed like a big waste of my time.
Speaker 12: But I was also a child. I mean, you know,
Speaker 12: you're eighteen when you started in school or well, I
Speaker 12: mean most people are when they start in college, and
Speaker 12: it's just like I'm going to be this, and then
Speaker 12: you know, you get there and you go, oh wait,
Speaker 12: I just want to like get high all the time.
Speaker 1: I you know, I was going to say, you don't
Speaker 1: even need YouTube to make music. You can just go
Speaker 1: la la la la.
Speaker 8: La la la.
Speaker 12: That's beautiful. Look at that.
Speaker 1: Nailed it from the brain. Are you high right now?
Speaker 12: No? No, I am not.
Speaker 1: How much debt are you in?
Speaker 6: Oh god?
Speaker 12: Uh ballpark? I mean I don't know the exact number
Speaker 12: off the top of my head. It's some some like
Speaker 12: sixty five grand or something like that. Spent a whole
Speaker 12: bunch of money I didn't have, they should not have
Speaker 12: given to me. And then and now they ask for
Speaker 12: it back all the time, and I try not to
Speaker 12: answer the phone when they call.
Speaker 1: Damn that. Actually that pisses me off, man, because you're
Speaker 1: because you're right, and I'm about I've got a serious
Speaker 1: rant in me that I won't go on for the
Speaker 1: sake of time. But you're correct. At eighteen, you don't
Speaker 1: know what the fuck you're doing. You're just you're hot
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and you're.
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna and then all these people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: you got to go to college now, and you're like
Speaker 1: all right, sick, and they're like, all right, give us
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand dollars and you're like, sure.
Speaker 12: Yeah, fucked up. That money is made up. That's imaginary money,
Speaker 12: that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not it's not fucked if
Speaker 1: you're going to do a real thing. Not to say that,
Speaker 1: mutic okay, okay, not to say that music is not
Speaker 1: a real thing. Music is a totally real thing. It's
Speaker 1: a totally legitimate career. Yeah, music school is not real.
Speaker 12: No, no, what are they teaching me?
Speaker 1: I don't know? How do you play the guitar? You
Speaker 1: could play learn how to play the piano on fucking YouTube,
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, I mean, what do you do now
Speaker 1: with your life?
Speaker 12: Well? Right now I am. I'm actually I just started
Speaker 12: in your job in fast food. I won't name the place,
Speaker 12: but weirdly enough, they sent me to like boot camp.
Speaker 12: I mean, that's that's basically what it's akin to. I
Speaker 12: am away from my homes, about roughly seventeen hundred miles
Speaker 12: away from my home for like ten weeks, and then
Speaker 12: when I go back home, I will be a certified
Speaker 12: manager for this restaurant, for this brand. I've been in
Speaker 12: restaurants for like twelve thirteen years now, and I've been
Speaker 12: in management for probably eight years of that, and this
Speaker 12: is pretty intense for what is essentially just fast food. Again,
Speaker 12: I don't want to give too much away.
Speaker 1: You're going to a ten week McDonald's boot camp.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's not McDonald's.
Speaker 6: I will say that.
Speaker 12: I'll tell you what it's not. It's not McDonald's.
Speaker 1: But can I why are you so? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not the CIA, you know, why? What's the What I'm
Speaker 1: more curious about than what the restaurant is is like,
Speaker 1: why you can't tell us?
Speaker 12: Well, I guess I don't want to be too descriptive
Speaker 12: about my my actual identity more or less. So I mean,
Speaker 12: it's not really out. I mean, now I'm not gonna
Speaker 12: tell you what it is. I'm gonna leave. I'm only
Speaker 12: be hanging on that one.
Speaker 1: But why do you have to go to a ten?
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never heard of that you have to
Speaker 1: go to a ten? I don't know thing like, are
Speaker 1: you out of town for ten weeks?
Speaker 12: Yeah? My wife is at home with three kids, and
Speaker 12: I am in Tucson, Arizona. Okay, so that I'll tell
Speaker 12: you I'm in Tucson, Arizona. Obviously it's already too late.
Speaker 12: I've already told.
Speaker 1: You that's more personal than what the restaurant is. That's
Speaker 1: more private information than the information that you're withholding.
Speaker 12: But but you don't know where I'm like from. You
Speaker 12: don't know where where I came from the physical place
Speaker 12: that I well, you do know I'm seventeen hundred miles
Speaker 12: away from my home and I'm in Tucson. So you
Speaker 12: pull out a compass, you might be able to figure
Speaker 12: it out.
Speaker 1: But that's a large enough radius that it's I mean, looking,
Speaker 1: what's your name again? You told me your name. What's
Speaker 1: your name?
Speaker 12: It's Max.
Speaker 1: No one's coming after you.
Speaker 12: That's fair.
Speaker 6: What I mean, what are we going.
Speaker 1: To do is steal your identity.
Speaker 12: I don't know. You might come to Tucson and.
Speaker 6: Kill me.
Speaker 12: I don't know. There might be people listening that area.
Speaker 1: I want to kill you.
Speaker 12: Well, that's not for me to say. I don't want
Speaker 12: to kill me, but somebody might want to kill me.
Speaker 12: And if they do, they now know where I'm at,
Speaker 12: and that's on me. That's my fault.
Speaker 1: Let me. I here's the thing. If someone wanted to
Speaker 1: kill if someone wanted to just kill someone, the only
Speaker 1: reason I think someone listening to this right now, would
Speaker 1: want to kill you is just because they just wanted
Speaker 1: to kill someone. They just had a bloodlust, and yeah,
Speaker 1: find it and the and the challenge of finding you
Speaker 1: based off of this information alone is impossible. The only
Speaker 1: thing I could think of is if someone had not
Speaker 1: only a bloodlust, but they wanted the challenge of killing you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was appealing to them.
Speaker 12: I'll start with all that. I'll wear a shirt that says,
Speaker 12: like I was on therapy, get go Monday night. I'm
Speaker 12: the guy that works in fast food, but I won't
Speaker 12: tell you where. That might make it easier, but then
Speaker 12: they'd still have to wade through all the meth heads
Speaker 12: in Tucson, Arizona to find me. Not that I'm a
Speaker 12: meth head, but there's a ton of them here.
Speaker 1: Okay, So.
Speaker 12: Max, Yeah that's me all right.
Speaker 1: So you're at boot camp. What do you do?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 1: So it's is this like is this like an upper
Speaker 1: management thing or is it like you're in you're in
Speaker 1: the restaurant doing They.
Speaker 12: Yeah, man, it's operations like I'm I'm in the Yeah,
Speaker 12: I'm in the restaurants. And they say their training locations
Speaker 12: are like in Arizona and Nevada, and I ended up
Speaker 12: in Arizona, where it's one hundred and fifteen degrees every day,
Speaker 12: which everybody keeps saying, but it's a dry heat, but
Speaker 12: it's it's still one hundred and fifteen fucking degrees part
Speaker 12: of my language. But that's where I'm at. And every
Speaker 12: day I go and I get to stand over grills
Speaker 12: and fryers, not every day, five days a week, about
Speaker 12: fifty hours of my week, I'm in a restaurant, just
Speaker 12: learning how to make food and how to manage people
Speaker 12: and how to lead a team, which again I've got
Speaker 12: experience already in doing those things. But I genuinely believe
Speaker 12: that this is just like a brainwash, like a corporate
Speaker 12: brainwash tactic to get me to think about nothing but
Speaker 12: this brand and this business for ten weeks.
Speaker 5: This sounds like a.
Speaker 1: Pain in the ass, Like why would you go through
Speaker 1: Like if you have the experience, why would you go
Speaker 1: through this instead of just you know, being a manager
Speaker 1: at somewhere.
Speaker 12: That because I had, because I have a bloated salary,
Speaker 12: like I have my income and not that it's like insane,
Speaker 12: but like my last job paid me quite a bit
Speaker 12: of money, so it was nearly impossible to find anything
Speaker 12: that was even equal to that pay. But I really
Speaker 12: hated that job and I wanted to get away from it.
Speaker 12: It was making me absolutely miserable. So when I was
Speaker 12: approached by this brand that I'm currently training for and
Speaker 12: they offered me more than what I was making, it
Speaker 12: was hard for me to say no, especially because I, like,
Speaker 12: I don't know if you heard me earlier, I got
Speaker 12: three children, one to three of them, and they they
Speaker 12: are expensive, so I bet yeh money man.
Speaker 1: Well look, Max, it sounds like you're the very least
Speaker 1: taking this on stride.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I do you do what you can? Go see
Speaker 12: the Tucson Botanical Gardens. It's very hot, but it's pretty.
Speaker 12: If you're ever in Tucson, just so you know, that's
Speaker 12: like the only pretty thing in the city. I apologize
Speaker 12: to anybody from Tucson, but your city is awful and
Speaker 12: I cannot wait to go home.
Speaker 1: Best of luck, Max. I keep calling in.
Speaker 12: Zionora all from Nick.
Speaker 6: Nick Hey, Hello, Hello, Hey. I don't know if I
Speaker 6: can follow up after Max from Chick fil A.
Speaker 1: But but you thought he was from you? You're is
Speaker 1: that what you're assuming he is? Is chick fil.
Speaker 6: A gotta be chick fil A?
Speaker 1: You know what, it's probably chick fil.
Speaker 6: A gotta be.
Speaker 1: Chick fil A? Is interesting. Chick fil A is interesting
Speaker 1: because like their brand, the way that they've like branded
Speaker 1: everything is is that it's like, you know, there's like
Speaker 1: fast casual and then there's fast food.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're in the middle.
Speaker 1: They're kind of in the middle. But I mean, all
Speaker 1: the shit is this, It's all gonna kill you. But
Speaker 1: they've successfully branded themselves as fast casual while being fast food.
Speaker 6: Yes, So I stumbled across your channel on Reddit late
Speaker 6: at night here and I'm thinking about leaving my job,
Speaker 6: and I was wondering how you came up with a
Speaker 6: gecko on a microphone.
Speaker 12: Therapy.
Speaker 1: I wish I had a clean origin story for you,
Speaker 1: but it's really a culmination of a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: Got I got a little lucky as well, because I
Speaker 1: stumbled upon our Pan and I've since you know, moved
Speaker 1: on to other places on the internet, but our Pan.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a thing that it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, on Twitch, if you're going Twitch, you know
Speaker 1: no one will ever watch you do anything. But if
Speaker 1: you go on our Pan, you know, it's got a
Speaker 1: good community there. So I just started streaming on our
Speaker 1: pan as a lizard and uh and and I just
Speaker 1: didn't stop and now I'm here and I did not
Speaker 1: expect it. But but okay, but enough about me. I
Speaker 1: want to hear about you. You're thinking about leaving your job.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, probably a good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably you're probably not you say.
Speaker 6: I probably am? Probably am yep, sick?
Speaker 1: Why well maybe why do you want to leave?
Speaker 6: Uh? Without getting too specific about what I do.
Speaker 1: Real quick, I'm out on speakerphone right now.
Speaker 6: Yes, apologies, could you.
Speaker 1: Take me off? But it's slightly hard.
Speaker 6: To hear you without getting into is that a little better?
Speaker 1: Much better?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 6: Without getting into specifically what I do, I will say
Speaker 6: that a series of societal events have led to the
Speaker 6: degeneration of the type of work that I do, which
Speaker 6: no longer makes it possible or safe to continue. So
Speaker 6: just looking for other work and uh, yeah, yep, interesting,
Speaker 6: that's about it.
Speaker 1: So your job has become and then you know, look,
Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like you're you have this is
Speaker 1: not something you want to go super in depth into,
Speaker 1: so you don't feel like you are, don't feel pressured too,
Speaker 1: But you feel like you're not Your job is not
Speaker 1: safe anymore.
Speaker 6: No, nope, nope, no longer safe, uh like physically safe,
Speaker 6: and or uh like viability sake.
Speaker 1: Viability, it's no longer. It's no longer safe.
Speaker 6: Lucrative or like the liability is involved in too high.
Speaker 1: Okay, well I want to I'm proud of you, dude,
Speaker 1: Thank you for getting out of there, you know, and
Speaker 1: really hope happen that you're prioritizing your health. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what did you say?
Speaker 6: You really hoping this AMC stuck takes off? So if
Speaker 6: you're not in it, you should know.
Speaker 1: Better than following AMC.
Speaker 6: It's it's only fifty eight bucks. Get one of them
Speaker 6: about twenty eight?
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty eight. Have you ever thought about because here's
Speaker 1: what I would do if I I fucking if everything
Speaker 1: goes wrong in my life, if I, you know, run
Speaker 1: out of money, I would probably just scrape together I
Speaker 1: would try to scrape together enough money to move to
Speaker 1: like like Vietnam or something like that, anyway, somewhere where,
Speaker 1: somewhere where the purchasing power of my dollar it like
Speaker 1: increases by a lot, like.
Speaker 6: The Thailand or Costa Rica.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, something like that you think about doing that.
Speaker 12: I've thought about it.
Speaker 6: Probably Alaska just to Alaska.
Speaker 1: Is Alaska cheap?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Not only is Alaska cheap, but after you've lived there
Speaker 6: from December to December a calendar year. You can't live
Speaker 6: there from like July to July. If you live there
Speaker 6: from December to December, you and your family are eligible
Speaker 6: for oil money, so you can. Yeah, you get a
Speaker 6: certain amount of money per person and it's like up
Speaker 6: to ten thousand dollars per person per year. And then
Speaker 6: in March, the government also does like a survey of
Speaker 6: how much people make in March, so all the little
Speaker 6: business is shut down, and then they give you more
Speaker 6: money based on you not having income in the month
Speaker 6: of March. So it's it's cheap and they give you
Speaker 6: tons of money and you can final land out there.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you've done a lot of research into
Speaker 1: moving to Alaska.
Speaker 6: Yeah, a little bit, are you are?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're thinking? How do you have a family?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, that's the whole moving to Alaska so far
Speaker 6: from family. That's the only problem.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't come with.
Speaker 6: No, no, they they don't want to leave their family.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the plot of the Simpsons movie.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, i Ame wants to move to Alaska,
Speaker 1: but the family doesn't want to go anyway, it.
Speaker 6: Was it was nice. It was nice meeting you. I
Speaker 6: I was interested in the Gecko story and I look
Speaker 6: forward to, uh maybe a live show since I.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, sure, I didn't know if you you wanted
Speaker 1: to keep talking about this though, I'm I'm interested in
Speaker 1: I'm oh sure, why what what are you leaning towards doing?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 6: I'm I'm kind of handy in a lot of ways.
Speaker 6: I've I've kept my cars running forever. I do some carpentry,
Speaker 6: I do photography, a number of just little things that
Speaker 6: I'm halfway decent at. So probably a YouTube channel or something.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure exactly yet.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm not trying to do like some like content internet.
Speaker 6: Ship, but yeah, potentially, I'm kind of tired of working
Speaker 6: for other people. And I'm not going to school to
Speaker 6: get yeah, more debt, because I've already got I've been
Speaker 6: down to ten grand on that, so I'm not trying
Speaker 6: to get in more of that.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, but mm hmm, what what what? What would
Speaker 1: it be like your ideal sort of business to.
Speaker 6: Have, like just straight up business. I've actually started buying
Speaker 6: materials and making things and putting them on Amazon, like
Speaker 6: manufacturing and and that's that's doing pretty well, Like carpentry
Speaker 6: stuff like American made stuff I'm into. I'd be down.
Speaker 6: I really love photography, like landscape photography, like wildlife photography,
Speaker 6: so kind of doing some of that.
Speaker 1: Can I ask this the stuff that you're putting on Amazon,
Speaker 1: is it more practical stuff or like art.
Speaker 6: More more practical stuff like, uh, it's it's it's small
Speaker 6: right now. I have some like for board games like
Speaker 6: dice rolling trays, and I'm working on some cutting boards
Speaker 6: and charcuterie boards and things like that, like, uh, just
Speaker 6: quality made American stuff that uh like. I'd like to
Speaker 6: have a couple of employees doing making things at some point,
Speaker 6: but have like a YouTube side of it that was
Speaker 6: marketing and also making money for the business as well.
Speaker 1: I like, I like your voice. By the way, you
Speaker 1: should definitely be in these videos because right just now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone heard it when when you
Speaker 1: said quality made American, like you sounded like a voice
Speaker 1: and a commercial saying it.
Speaker 6: That's that's funny. I I've I've told my uh My
Speaker 6: wife's that quite a few times that I should do
Speaker 6: voice acting. She she finds it funny but also irritating
Speaker 6: when I do different accents. Don't don't put me on
Speaker 6: the spot right here. But but I appreciate the boats.
Speaker 1: Confidence absolutely, man. I I think I think you should
Speaker 1: double down on these things. It sounds like you have
Speaker 1: it sounds like you have directions to go, you know,
Speaker 1: so I think you should totally double down on them.
Speaker 6: Appreciate that, man, of course, Thank.
Speaker 1: You, Alaska. I'm gonna have to look into looking because
Speaker 1: I also try to think of, you know, plan B
Speaker 1: if I you don't have to, you know, ditch out
Speaker 1: off the grid. I've never I'm gonna look that up now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Alaska's Alaska is probably number one place, and there's
Speaker 6: tons of work.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: There's lots of fishing and uh tons of like construction
Speaker 6: and maintenance. Like, there's just tons and tons of work there. Disappear.
Speaker 6: I don't know if i'd go up there as a gecko, but.
Speaker 1: Well I might. I might. I might see in Alaska
Speaker 1: some day my friends.
Speaker 6: All right, all right, man, well I appreciate the talk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it's a pleasure talking to you. I wish
Speaker 1: you the best of luck. Oh one more thing, one
Speaker 1: more thing, more thing, And everyone in the chat fucking
Speaker 1: makes fun of me when I talk about this, but
Speaker 1: I don't care because it will change your life potentially.
Speaker 14: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: You is, if you're going to do any sort of
Speaker 1: like content like YouTube, whatever, make a TikTok, do double
Speaker 1: down on TikTok is TikTok because the way that YouTube works,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to build a channel, but it's not
Speaker 1: as hard to build a TikTok thing. So if you're
Speaker 1: going to do any sort of content shit like that,
Speaker 1: focus on.
Speaker 6: TikTok Okay do they have do they have any like
Speaker 6: other than like advertisements? Do they do?
Speaker 13: Spot?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 6: Can you make money on TikTok? I haven't even looked
Speaker 6: at TikTok never use it before?
Speaker 1: Well would you you can? Well, if you want to,
Speaker 1: like you said that, you want to make like these
Speaker 1: like advertisements for these these practical things, what you would
Speaker 1: do is you would make tiktoks talking about these things,
Speaker 1: showing yourself making these things blah blah like sort of
Speaker 1: you know, gain off following is who you are, and
Speaker 1: then sort of use that to be like, hey, here's
Speaker 1: where I sell these things that I make, these videos
Speaker 1: about me making, so you would sort of use it
Speaker 1: as advertising.
Speaker 6: That's a good idea. Yeah, I might, I might do that.
Speaker 1: You should. I believe in you.
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. Man. Thank you, and actually thanks for
Speaker 6: the idea, of course.
Speaker 1: Man, I hope you do it. I hope to see
Speaker 1: you on the FYP baby.

Speaker 1: to not pick up?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 15: No, no, no, no, no, my dog?
Speaker 1: Your dog pissed on the floor.
Speaker 15: That that's what I said.
Speaker 1: Yep, just now? Am I on speakerphone?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Why you am?
Speaker 6: I do you?
Speaker 1: I mean, I assume you set the phone down to
Speaker 1: clean up the piss?
Speaker 6: No, I got I got an air pot in.
Speaker 1: Sound very can you guys hear Sam? You sound very faint?
Speaker 5: Oh, I can put you on speaker and at really
Speaker 5: hear me better?
Speaker 6: How's that?
Speaker 1: How's the music? How's the music? Is the chat? Is
Speaker 1: the music too loud?
Speaker 6: I think this is.
Speaker 5: More important than cleaning up piss?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you need to, I mean we
Speaker 1: can talk while you pick clean up.
Speaker 5: It's fine.
Speaker 6: It's just all that.
Speaker 5: It's so can I'm used to.
Speaker 1: It, you're used to it. How often did your dog
Speaker 1: be on the bey on the floor?
Speaker 5: I can't count past five?
Speaker 1: So what do you want? What do you what? What
Speaker 1: do you want from it?
Speaker 6: With this?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just I just wanted to call in it seemed cool.
Speaker 12: Okay, any therapy right here's because there's.
Speaker 1: I feel like I can only go so far with Okay.
Speaker 6: Speaker, you could therapy my dog.
Speaker 5: I think she had anxious piss on the floor.
Speaker 1: Because you can your dog talk.
Speaker 6: So Brian Grilson's situation.
Speaker 1: Now, Sam, listen, Sam, listen to me. I have a
Speaker 1: question for you. All right, Are you okay?
Speaker 5: That's a real philosophical question.
Speaker 1: It can be depending on how how you want to
Speaker 1: interpret it.
Speaker 15: Is that how you want me to interpret it.
Speaker 1: I don't want you. I don't want anything from you.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: I just saw someone chat say therapist.
Speaker 16: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Don't look at it, Sam, Sam, focus on me. Don't
Speaker 1: look at chat, don't look at the puddle of piss
Speaker 1: on your floor. Just let's listen to my voice. You
Speaker 1: know what I lied. I do want something from you.
Speaker 1: I want you to answer a question for me.
Speaker 15: Okay, I'll answer, I'll answer.
Speaker 1: Can something be anything?
Speaker 16: So we're going back to philosophical.
Speaker 5: Uh, in essence, In theory, anything could be something, and
Speaker 5: something could be anything, but in that moment, it is
Speaker 5: not that anything. It has the potential to become anything.
Speaker 1: Well, who the fuck is this? We're talking to a
Speaker 1: new guy here, because that was that was not That
Speaker 1: did not sound like anything else you've said through the
Speaker 1: duration that I'm talking to you. That sounded like you
Speaker 1: really thought it through. I know it was in you.
Speaker 5: I think it's some mental issues. It signs through the anxiety,
Speaker 5: you know. It kind of like it lets you live
Speaker 5: with multiple lives and you don't realize it until you
Speaker 5: know it gives it to you. When a scenario you
Speaker 5: thought through in your head you didn't even realize you did,
Speaker 5: and now you realize you're a philosopher.
Speaker 1: Is this a scenario that you thought through in your
Speaker 1: head previously?
Speaker 5: I might guess. So it just kind of showed up.
Speaker 1: Do you Are you referring to the scenario of us
Speaker 1: being on the phone right now?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, when you played out sort of a simulation
Speaker 1: in your head of what it might be like to
Speaker 1: be on the phone with me, How did that play
Speaker 1: out in your head? And then how did that differentiate
Speaker 1: from how it played out in reality? If you consider
Speaker 1: this reality.
Speaker 5: I didn't expect you to pick up, So that's a
Speaker 5: pretty big difference. Sure, the piss is leaking into the floorboards, Sam, Yeah.
Speaker 1: For your benefit, I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: you clean up your dog's piss. If I were there
Speaker 1: in the room with you, I promise I would help
Speaker 1: but I'm not.
Speaker 5: That's that's that's that's kind of you to say thank
Speaker 5: you for that's. I really needed to hear that as
Speaker 5: I see the piss during into the floorboards.
Speaker 1: How are we gonna are just using paper towels or
Speaker 1: do you have like a you know, at least just
Speaker 1: on the it's just on the hard wood floor. The
Speaker 1: worst of it wrong.
Speaker 5: I think I might have to lift it up to
Speaker 5: clean up, to play with underneath, because there's a it's
Speaker 5: it's a small dog, but the amount of piss that
Speaker 5: they release is incomprehensible. It really looks like they took
Speaker 5: like a two liter bottle and just dumped it out
Speaker 5: in its entirety.
Speaker 1: Do you think that will rumin the Do you think
Speaker 1: it'll little like grow mold or something?
Speaker 5: Probably not, hasn't yet.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling, Sam. I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: And good luck with cleaning up your dog's pace.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll call it back and figure it cleaned up?
Speaker 1: Beautiful sounds good.
Speaker 12: Dog? Is it your dog?
Speaker 14: Toall docs and mix.
Speaker 1: I kind of have to I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: this conversation is kind of making me have to piss.
Speaker 5: You could just turn around on the stream. Maybe go
Speaker 5: behind his chair, just squat down or something. You're not
Speaker 5: crapping now, I'm like, you don't need a squat Why
Speaker 5: is this squad?
Speaker 1: Have a goodnight, sim.
Speaker 5: Good night, have a good one, thinks.
Speaker 3: Aw from Erwin, Erwin, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 12: Win? Hi?
Speaker 6: This is a therapy gecko.
Speaker 5: Right, yep, Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 5: I never thought i'd actually talk to someone who has
Speaker 5: who has relative decent fame.
Speaker 6: It's crazy, alright.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't I'm I. I'm just uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if I'm famous. I think I'm
Speaker 1: more just. I mean, how do you how would you
Speaker 1: even define famous?
Speaker 5: If I had to say, if you have what would
Speaker 5: be considered a small army, so around two thousand watching
Speaker 5: you on a daily basis.
Speaker 6: I'd say that's quite famous.
Speaker 5: I mean, let's be honest, like, how many of your
Speaker 5: average Joe's get two thousand people on a minimum the
Speaker 5: daily possibly watching them?
Speaker 1: I mean, having like a I don't know. I guess,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I guess, well famous relative, I guess,
Speaker 1: like you know, like the popular kid in high school
Speaker 1: or whatever is is? Are they famous in a way
Speaker 1: because they have? Like if you have three friends, you know,
Speaker 1: are you? Are you famous because three people know you?
Speaker 1: If I have you know, five hundred people who you
Speaker 1: know watch my you know stuff in my But then
Speaker 1: there's other famous people who have like you know, it's
Speaker 1: all it's all relative. Anyone you're famous.
Speaker 5: Sorry, what you're saying, Well, what you're saying reminds me
Speaker 5: of a quote of being the biggest fish in the pond,
Speaker 5: but being nothing in the ocean. I just remember that quote.
Speaker 5: You ever watched the movie big Fish?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: I have not heard of. That is what is big Fish.
Speaker 5: It's basically about a movie of like this guy whose
Speaker 5: grandpa basically tells them all these exotic stories about his
Speaker 5: life and and then based and that's basically it. And
Speaker 5: it turns out these stories were kind of true but
Speaker 5: a little exaggerated. That's just what I remember off the
Speaker 5: top of my head. I'm sure you're ready. I'm sure
Speaker 5: the chat knows exactly what the movie big Fish is.
Speaker 1: Someone in the chat just said big Fish is the
Speaker 1: greatest movie ever made.
Speaker 5: Well, congratulations for them. I'm glad they find something they enjoy.
Speaker 1: I okay, I'll have to check that out. Do you
Speaker 1: think I would like it? Like knowing like I don't
Speaker 1: know if the like? Do you think I would like it?
Speaker 1: I mean, what if you ever information you know about me?
Speaker 5: I mean, what is your favorite genre of movies if
Speaker 5: you're okay to divulge that information.
Speaker 1: I like videos on YouTube of like chiptune. It's like
Speaker 1: old like video music, video game music from when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. My my favorite movie right now is
Speaker 1: is a long play of Shadow of the Hedgehog.
Speaker 6: Hm hmm.
Speaker 1: That's the most recent movie that I watched.
Speaker 5: I mean, based off the information I based off the
Speaker 5: information I have available. I don't know if you like
Speaker 5: big Fish, but you know everyone everyone has her likes,
Speaker 5: and so I don't know. I don't know you, so
Speaker 5: I don't know what you like. But yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 1: Do like it that something can be anything.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you disassemble it on a on an
Speaker 5: atomic level, yes, very much so. If you're to take
Speaker 5: a part in the atoms and rearrange them, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: You know somebody else gave that exact answer, and then
Speaker 1: once they said that that made perfect sense to me
Speaker 1: that if you like all right, So this fucking water bottle,
Speaker 1: you know, I asked, I said, can this water bottle
Speaker 1: be a dog? And theoretically it can't because it's made
Speaker 1: of matter and energy. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed,
Speaker 1: and so theoretically the matter from this could be transmuted
Speaker 1: into the matter that makes a dog.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that is correct.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if water bottles have evolved
Speaker 5: been necessary molecule atoms to make a dog, but I'm
Speaker 5: sure that. I'm sure, Kevin. I don't know if they
Speaker 5: have carbon in them, but I do know carbon is
Speaker 5: one of the basic elements to make life.
Speaker 1: So you need carbon to make a dog?
Speaker 6: Yes, part of it? Yes, you do need carbon. I
Speaker 6: do know that. I mean, we're all carbon based life forms.
Speaker 1: You know what? I understand? How come we can't make
Speaker 1: living things? I feel like we should be. I feel
Speaker 1: like the technology should exist by now to be able
Speaker 1: to make a dog.
Speaker 6: Of course, I couldn't tell you that.
Speaker 1: Can you just get that? Can you just buy carbon?
Speaker 1: How do you get it?
Speaker 5: I don't exactly know all I all I know is
Speaker 5: carbon is an element that exists, and that and that
Speaker 5: we and us every life form is carbon base and
Speaker 5: that is one of the building blocks of life. And
Speaker 5: this as far as we know in the universe. Now,
Speaker 5: I'm not a scientist.
Speaker 6: I'd have to ask.
Speaker 5: My grandfather's a nuclear engineer, and he knows maybe more
Speaker 5: than I do. I'm just kind of spouting what he's
Speaker 5: told me over the years.
Speaker 1: How do you know all of that that's is off
Speaker 1: of your grandfather.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, he's a he's a retired nuclear engineer. He work,
Speaker 5: he's done, He's basically spent most of his life doing
Speaker 5: all this, and so I'm just kind of kind of
Speaker 5: spouting off what I remember him telling me when I
Speaker 5: was when I was younger, and then also from my
Speaker 5: watching of YouTube and also just that or when.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for you, because if
Speaker 1: I were thirteen and my dad, my grandfather, was telling
Speaker 1: me about nuclear physics, I would not listen to a
Speaker 1: word he was saying.
Speaker 5: I don't blame you. I mean, I mean, even I
Speaker 5: mean even at my young age, I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 5: listen to everything he said. I mean when I mean,
Speaker 5: when I was thirteen years old, I just wanted to
Speaker 5: play video games all day.
Speaker 1: Did you ever play Shadow of the Hedgehog?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yes, I did it got PEMA game?
Speaker 1: You know what you know the game? You know when
Speaker 1: a game you play when you're a kid, you grow
Speaker 1: up and like everyone didn't like it, but you're like,
Speaker 1: oh that I thought the game is sick.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I never I never really had. I never really accessed
Speaker 5: internet much when I was thirteen, so I didn't really
Speaker 5: know much about about the dislike of Shadow of the Hedgehog.
Speaker 5: I mean everyone's I mean, they're all just opinions in
Speaker 5: the end. I mean, if you like it, who cares
Speaker 5: what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good mentality to have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you know, oh you remember that guy
Speaker 5: who was talking about moving up to Alaska on your
Speaker 5: call a little while ago. I do, Well, there's another
Speaker 5: place that would probably be better than Alaska if you know
Speaker 5: the language, and that would be Russia. And I'll tell
Speaker 5: you why, if you'd be interested, please. In twenty sixteen
Speaker 5: of Vladimir Putin signed into law a Russian version of
Speaker 5: the Homestead Act, giving giving any Russian citizen and I
Speaker 5: believe foreign nationals been living in Russia for at least
Speaker 5: five years. One free hectaker of land in Siberia and
Speaker 5: the only requirement really is you just got to make
Speaker 5: it better.
Speaker 6: Than what it was. It's literally free land.
Speaker 1: So wait, so the requirement a better But would they
Speaker 1: any more specific, like make it better in what web does?
Speaker 5: That's subjective from my from my from what I remember
Speaker 5: on Wikipedia and whatnot. You need to basically have a
Speaker 5: house and like in like a decent like like like
Speaker 5: a small farm on our garden of some kind.
Speaker 6: And I don't I don't.
Speaker 5: Know if you have to have utilities hooked up, but
Speaker 5: it does. You do have to have a house that's
Speaker 5: you know, liveable, and I can get to have a
Speaker 5: small farm.
Speaker 6: But the whole point of.
Speaker 5: This loss is to repopulate, like Siberia in some of
Speaker 5: the areas, to put more people back in there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean if.
Speaker 1: Why, like is why I feel like it's running away
Speaker 1: is so easy. I don't know why more people don't
Speaker 1: just run away from life.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, when you when you feel like you
Speaker 5: have too much to lose, it's hard to run away.
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of people have families and they
Speaker 5: can't just it's very difficult to just abandon your family.
Speaker 1: It is. I mean the reason why you know, having
Speaker 1: kids is a big decision, because once you have kids,
Speaker 1: you can't really peace out. You could piece out from anyway.
Speaker 1: You can piece out from like your wife or your husband,
Speaker 1: but it's it's harder to piece out from a child.
Speaker 5: I mean in North Korea, I mean, they have a
Speaker 5: program where certain citizens get to work in Russia, but
Speaker 5: nor to be eligibly have to have a family. So
Speaker 5: to basically discourage the people in Russia is running away,
Speaker 5: and it seems to be pretty effective.
Speaker 1: Bourban, Would you ever run away? Would you ever go
Speaker 1: off the grid?
Speaker 17: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, since I have nothing really to lose, Yeah, if
Speaker 5: I if I knew what to do, absolutely.
Speaker 1: Do you have nothing to lose?
Speaker 5: Pretty much? I mean, I mean I have like a
Speaker 5: life that I care about, and I have a job,
Speaker 5: but I I have a roommate, but I don't like
Speaker 5: you know, I don't have family. I don't like to
Speaker 5: have my own family, and I don't have a partner,
Speaker 5: and I don't really have anything really holding me down.
Speaker 5: So if I really wanted to, I.
Speaker 12: Could do it.
Speaker 1: I hope you take advantage of that. I'm being kind
Speaker 1: of serious. You know, there's a lot of opportunity in
Speaker 1: having no responsibilities.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean It's kind of why I'm interested in
Speaker 5: living in Russia one day. It'd be kind of cool
Speaker 5: having your own land and making it something cool.
Speaker 1: I hope to visit your land one day. Irwin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was cool talking to you. I mean, t
Speaker 5: tell the redit chat that. Irwin says, Hi, and uh,
Speaker 5: well it was great talking me, man, take care and
Speaker 5: sorry about all the trolls, man.
Speaker 1: Todd, Well, I appreciate that. I have a good night one.
Speaker 16: Al right, you too, man?
Speaker 6: Bye?
Speaker 1: Wait what trolls? Urban's a very sweet.
Speaker 8: Guy call from Mint Julip, Mint Julip, Hello, Hi, how
Speaker 8: are you.
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 4: Excellent?
Speaker 17: I'm so happy I'm talking with you right now. I'm
Speaker 17: a little starstruck, but I'm going to contain myself.
Speaker 1: Uh Mint Julip, Minchella, have we ever spoken before?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 17: Not once. I've tried a bunch of times, but I've
Speaker 17: never gotten through.
Speaker 1: Mmmm. Well tell me, Minchula. So you tell me that
Speaker 1: you've tried a bunch of times. And so I'm sort
Speaker 1: of inferring that you potentially had something in that. It's
Speaker 1: okay if you didn't, but I assume that maybe you
Speaker 1: had something in particular. You wanted to talk about birds birds.
Speaker 1: What about birds?
Speaker 17: I've recently learned that I really like birds. I've been
Speaker 17: watching them. I'm trying to learn more about them, and
Speaker 17: I'm curious if you have any advice about how to
Speaker 17: befriend wild birds.
Speaker 1: How to befriend wild birds? Well, before I, you know,
Speaker 1: try to give you any advice, I want to know
Speaker 1: what your interest is in befriending wild birds. What do
Speaker 1: you hope to gain from these birds?
Speaker 17: I guess just being a little bit closer to nature,
Speaker 17: being a little bit closer to about that freedom. I
Speaker 17: guess about a bird that it can fly away at
Speaker 17: any moment, but if it chooses to sit on my
Speaker 17: hand and eat food out of my hand, that I've
Speaker 17: been chosen by a wild, free creature.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: So you feel as though for a bird accepting you
Speaker 1: as its friend is more valuable than a human doing so,
Speaker 1: because the bird can go anywhere, but it chooses.
Speaker 3: To be with you, I guess.
Speaker 17: But also I'd like to think that a person could
Speaker 17: do the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly they could. They could. So you know, your
Speaker 1: friendship with people is valuable as well, because exactly like
Speaker 1: you said, they could do the same thing. They could
Speaker 1: go anywhere, they could people. You could take a train
Speaker 1: to cold take a flight to Japan, but they're they're
Speaker 1: hanging out with you in your basement in you know, Sterling, Virginia.
Speaker 10: Exactly.
Speaker 1: Birds. Birds. Here's the thing is that my actual, my
Speaker 1: actual genuine advice for you is, you know, min Juli,
Speaker 1: I can tell that you're very excited to go into
Speaker 1: the world and be friend birds, but I would be
Speaker 1: a little bit less excited. I would keep your expectations
Speaker 1: low because these birds, you can't hinge your similar to
Speaker 1: human friendships, not everyone's gonna like you inherently. You have
Speaker 1: to get over that the idea that everyone will like
Speaker 1: you if you just, you know, show them whatever side
Speaker 1: of you you think will make them make them like you.
Speaker 1: So I would lower your expectations. I would go in
Speaker 1: expecting the birds not to want to be your friends.
Speaker 1: So that way, if in the event that it happens,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it will won't, I don't. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna make a call in either way. But in the
Speaker 1: event that it happens, you won't be crushed because you
Speaker 1: had such high expectations. So I understand that these birds
Speaker 1: they owe you nothing, but that's good because it sets
Speaker 1: a sort of good tone for how you're going to
Speaker 1: want to approach the situation.
Speaker 17: Wonderful advice.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, of course, of course. But Julip,
Speaker 1: I want to know, is there a particular type of
Speaker 1: bird that you would most like to be friends with?
Speaker 17: Uh? Well, my favorite bird is the blue jay. A
Speaker 17: little bit, I guess cliche, but I really do enjoy
Speaker 17: the blue jay. And I'm also into woodpeckers. But I'm
Speaker 17: not really sure I would be happy if any bird
Speaker 17: sat in my hands, you know.
Speaker 1: But that's great, that's great. That's another thing. Having low
Speaker 1: standards right to any type of bird is going to
Speaker 1: set you up for happiness. Are you truly believe.
Speaker 17: Do you like birds? I know that's kind of a
Speaker 17: weird thing to like, but I mean, have you ever
Speaker 17: observed a bird? Or do you enjoy birds? They're kind
Speaker 17: of like dinosaurs are kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I I have, I have observed a bird before. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say I have any particular affinity for birds,
Speaker 1: but I have stopped and looked at a bird.
Speaker 4: Nothing special about it though, right.
Speaker 1: They're too skittish for me, Like if you go up
Speaker 1: and try to pet one, they'll they'll run away. I
Speaker 1: like dogs because dogs can't fly away, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're too big and fat. But Julip, you know no, please,
Speaker 1: where are you gonna say?
Speaker 17: I thank you for your time?
Speaker 1: Oh of course, of course.
Speaker 17: A little bird.
Speaker 1: Now, thank you so much for for coming by. Yes,
Speaker 1: exactly this call. You're like a little bird coming in,
Speaker 1: sitting on my uh my phone line, and we're having
Speaker 1: a little chats. And now you're gonna fly away, right.
Speaker 17: I hope maybe we'll cross paths again.
Speaker 1: Soon, maybe someday, maybe someday. Thank you so much, Minjilip.
Speaker 1: It is a pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 17: Thank you, get go take care.
Speaker 4: Good night.
Speaker 3: Call from Ryan Ryan.
Speaker 6: Holy shoot, this is the gecko.
Speaker 1: This is the gecko.
Speaker 6: What's up man?
Speaker 1: I'm a gecko on the computer.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm watching you.

Speaker 1: are you there?
Speaker 18: I am Can you hear me?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I can hear you.
Speaker 18: Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: For like a split second you thought I was going
Speaker 1: to hang up on you. I did, yeah, and you
Speaker 1: you seemed to be upset by that. I was, Yes,
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a thing in that moment
Speaker 1: when your mind was like, oh no, he's gonna hang
Speaker 1: up on me. But I wanted to tell him this
Speaker 1: one last thing. What was that thing?
Speaker 18: It was just going to be that I liked your thighole.
Speaker 1: You like my thighole?
Speaker 6: It suits you?
Speaker 1: Thanks of course? Anything else?
Speaker 18: No, that's oh a lot of things I like about you.
Speaker 18: But that was all I really just wanted to say.
Speaker 1: Do you like my eyes?
Speaker 18: I mean I haven't seen them?
Speaker 1: Do you want to quite?
Speaker 18: I'm sure there?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you looking?
Speaker 16: I mean going a one?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have a very intense gaze.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I think a life is a very intense experience,
Speaker 1: and I treat it with a matching intensity.
Speaker 18: I would agree with that.
Speaker 1: Do you like my nose?
Speaker 11: You know what?
Speaker 18: There's not many things that don't like about you.
Speaker 1: Is there anything you don't like about me?
Speaker 18: Not that I can think of right now? No, is
Speaker 18: there anything you don't like about me?
Speaker 1: I don't know yet.
Speaker 6: Okay, that makes sense?
Speaker 12: H have it?
Speaker 15: Save a mile?
Speaker 18: Oh all right, hi, rank you for.
Speaker 1: Talking to you, sir, just now, when you thought I
Speaker 1: was gonna half on you yourself, I wanted to tell.
Speaker 3: Him, well, now I'm not pull from Chris.
Speaker 1: Chris, Hello, people need to stop telling me that my
Speaker 1: dick is showing. Because'm gonna believe the I'm gonna think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get banned. It's freaking me out, So stop.
Speaker 14: Whoa dude, dude, it's crazy what I can't believe it
Speaker 14: got through? Dude, dude, how's it going?
Speaker 1: I don't even know anymore? Man, I don't even know.
Speaker 6: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: You said this is crazy? Why is this crazy?
Speaker 6: I don't know this thing.
Speaker 14: I never thought I get two hundred times.
Speaker 1: This is this. Look, this isn't a show, this isn't
Speaker 1: a stream, this is this is We're just on the
Speaker 1: We're just two people on the phone.
Speaker 14: Oh, this is the rerun we're talking about everyone was
Speaker 14: talking about earlier.
Speaker 1: What's your name, Chris? What do you do today?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 14: I worked, and then I guess I restore electric pianos.
Speaker 1: That's extremely specific.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 16: It's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 14: I don't even play piano.
Speaker 1: You don't even know how to play piano.
Speaker 14: No, I played drums.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me that you know how to build
Speaker 1: a piano or fix a piano, but you don't know
Speaker 1: how to play it.
Speaker 14: It's it's not like the piano you think it is.
Speaker 14: It's like a specific kind of electronic like piano thing. Yeah,
Speaker 14: it's like uber uber specific.
Speaker 16: It's weird.
Speaker 1: Did you always want did you always want to fix pianos?
Speaker 14: No? No, no, I've spent I've seen my whole entire
Speaker 14: life trying to figure out what to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is is my dick will actually show?
Speaker 14: Oh I'm not looking at this extreme. I walked away.
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a thought, it's my thigh.
Speaker 14: Well maybe you should have opened the whole vigor?
Speaker 1: Has everyone so sex with sex?
Speaker 6: Gosh?
Speaker 14: I don't know. That's a difficult question.
Speaker 1: Are people not having enough sex so they just think
Speaker 1: about it all the time? There's more to life than sex.
Speaker 1: It's an important part. Yeah, it's good life. Life begins
Speaker 1: at sex conception, but it's not everything.
Speaker 14: Yeah, damn, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know how to say that you had sex, Chris.
Speaker 14: Hm three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That's nice? What to you do? Was it? Was it nice?
Speaker 1: It was fun?
Speaker 14: I mean, I don't know, I'm kind of uh, you know,
Speaker 14: you're you're you're plagued by that like sexual drive, but
Speaker 14: then you you finally have the chance to do it.
Speaker 14: And you're like, well, maybe you don't actually like that
Speaker 14: person as much as you wish, and you're kind of wishing, like,
Speaker 14: oh man, you want that person that you kind of
Speaker 14: you know, you love and it'll be a lot more fun.
Speaker 14: But then you know kind of waiting around to find
Speaker 14: that person you love and you never know if they're
Speaker 14: the right person, and you know, it's like it sucks, man,
Speaker 14: you know.
Speaker 1: To me, so it sounds to me that you were
Speaker 1: driven by, you know, a natural sexual desire to just
Speaker 1: have sex with somebody, and so you had a a
Speaker 1: sort of casual fling. Yeah, you realized that it's just
Speaker 1: not as satisfying as you thought it might be, and
Speaker 1: that you would rather find something a little bit more
Speaker 1: emotional and committed.
Speaker 14: And that that might oh yeah, totally, like you want
Speaker 14: to be that cool kind of like hook up person.
Speaker 16: But then it just.
Speaker 14: Feels like that's not the right thing to do, and
Speaker 14: right and the right thing to do is to like,
Speaker 14: you know, find someone you care about and you want
Speaker 14: to like spend them home with the I don't know,
Speaker 14: it's hard to it's hard to know anybody.
Speaker 13: And.
Speaker 1: Anyone charge to meet people.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, sort I mean sort of I mean, it's
Speaker 14: like you anybody and like you're kind of like hoping,
Speaker 14: you know, you get to a certain age. I guess,
Speaker 14: at least for me, I'm like thirty two, and you're like, man,
Speaker 14: what are like each person that sort of comes in
Speaker 14: your life in that romantic in that romantic way, You're like, well,
Speaker 14: is this is this going to be the person that's
Speaker 14: going to be with me forever? You know, so you
Speaker 14: have the You're already you're already putting this person into
Speaker 14: this box, you know, are this level of expectation, and
Speaker 14: it's like, why, why the heck do you keep doing that?
Speaker 14: Like my head is just it projected projects too much.
Speaker 14: I guess I'm rambling. Man, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Who did who? How did you meet the person that
Speaker 1: you had sex with three weeks ago?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 14: We've been friends for a while, and uh we we
Speaker 14: were both not similar, Like we're not we're not we
Speaker 14: wouldn't we wouldn't be a good couple. We just sort
Speaker 14: of like don't want to hook up with strangers, so
Speaker 14: we just kind of figured we just keep this sort
Speaker 14: of relationship. But I'm like very weary of those like
Speaker 14: friends with benefit relationships because somebody is getting to end
Speaker 14: up having more feelings for the other person, and I know,
Speaker 14: like exactly how I feel about her, and and I've
Speaker 14: communicated like a lot about like hey, look like every
Speaker 14: I'm everywhere. Once in a while when we're hanging out,
Speaker 14: I'm like, hey, you just slow like, you know, like
Speaker 14: this is how I feel about you. Still like I
Speaker 14: don't I just want, you know, I don't want to Well.
Speaker 1: Look what you're describing by the way, is you know,
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, he's the curate of that anxiety.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're doing the right thing to me
Speaker 1: of you know, I mean, the curate of the anxiety
Speaker 1: of you know. I don't want one person to you know,
Speaker 1: think that this is you know, telling the truth and
Speaker 1: checking in every once in a while and be like,
Speaker 1: you know, look, this is just just so you know,
Speaker 1: this is how I view things, you know, So I
Speaker 1: want you to have that information as you are. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we're on the same
Speaker 1: page here, that we both you know, view things the
Speaker 1: same way, because that's very important. I think that's a
Speaker 1: good that's the check in to be doing.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I think really what it comes down
Speaker 14: to is like you have to have a completely open
Speaker 14: and honest relationship with every person that you keep in
Speaker 14: contact with, because I think like everyone, I guess deserves
Speaker 14: that chance of trust and it's up to that other
Speaker 14: person to abuse it or you know, take advantage. But
Speaker 14: I don't. I generally like to think. And then I
Speaker 14: used to be like a very misanthropic person, and I realized, like,
Speaker 14: what the hell is the point of that, and like
Speaker 14: I'm missing out on so many opportunities and and and whatnot.
Speaker 14: So I think, you know, everyone deserves that to see
Speaker 14: at least an honest representation of yourself, you know, and
Speaker 14: then you go from there.
Speaker 1: Do you find it difficult or easy to to be
Speaker 1: as honest as you are?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 15: It took.
Speaker 14: It took a very long time, I think. I mean,
Speaker 14: I'm not like I've never really been a liar, but
Speaker 14: I feel like it's easier two deceive, I guess in
Speaker 14: like little ways. Instead of like someone's like, oh, you
Speaker 14: want to hang on, You're like, no, I'm not. I'm
Speaker 14: not feeling good even though you're not even though you're
Speaker 14: feeling okay, you just don't really want to hang out.
Speaker 14: I think that's sort of like deception in a certain way, and.
Speaker 1: Why not just be like, go on, oh I was.
Speaker 1: I don't mean in a you know, intentionally lying way.
Speaker 1: I mean in sort of a you know, it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're you're going out of your way to be
Speaker 1: very truthful and too. I think it's part of all
Speaker 1: authentically known.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think I'm a very vulnerable sort of person
Speaker 14: and very trusting worthy. But it's like I think having
Speaker 14: being I guess being vulnerable. It's like this person who
Speaker 14: is going to enter my life and you know it's
Speaker 14: going to obviously they're going to be They're going to
Speaker 14: know that, and they're going to be kind of like
Speaker 14: forceaid all of these insecurities and blah blah blah. It's
Speaker 14: like so if you can handle all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 14: then it's like, okay, we can be friends, because like
Speaker 14: you get to know all that right off the bat.
Speaker 14: So you have like that choice of like I can't
Speaker 14: handle this dude. He's too he's too he's too much.
Speaker 14: But I think, sorry, go on, oh.
Speaker 1: No, I don't mean there are but I mean that
Speaker 1: the way that you're talking about, you know, this vulnerability
Speaker 1: is such a great way to live. It's challenging as fuck.
Speaker 1: It's not easy, but it's a great way to live
Speaker 1: if if you can hack it. If you can, I
Speaker 1: mean not you don't have to be a full expert,
Speaker 1: but the more vulnerable and open you can be, things
Speaker 1: are just are just better for you. I think. You Yeah,
Speaker 1: it causes I mean, it's it's tough, but I think
Speaker 1: it eases anxiety a little bit. To be very comfortable
Speaker 1: being vulnerable in that way.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, And I think a big part of that
Speaker 14: also is listening. And that's something I feel like you're
Speaker 14: very very good at, you know, as far as I've
Speaker 14: been following your your life streams and stuff. Is like
Speaker 14: you you allow the person to kind of like go
Speaker 14: on and then when then don't interrupt very often. And that's,
Speaker 14: like I think, a very important key to listening to somebody.
Speaker 14: You know, you allow that person to kind of explore
Speaker 14: what their thought was going to be, and then you
Speaker 14: chime in and you you know, you engage and you
Speaker 14: in proceed with the conversation and reactivate. You know. I
Speaker 14: don't know, it's just something that's I noticed about you.
Speaker 12: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: You should check out this this book. There's a book
Speaker 1: that I know it's you know, whatever people should on
Speaker 1: like dating books and whatever. But there's this one dating
Speaker 1: book that I read like three years ago that I
Speaker 1: really like that's about this. That's about like the whole
Speaker 1: kind of premise of it is that a lot of
Speaker 1: like dating advice is sort of is traditionally based on
Speaker 1: like deception and like stupid rules and things, and this
Speaker 1: is sort of talking about how vulnerable is the true
Speaker 1: way to build great relationships. It's called Models. Oh, a
Speaker 1: guy named Mark Manson. I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: who's heard of it.

Speaker 14: the person when they when they tell you something. It's
Speaker 14: it's all about wanting and needs and how everything between
Speaker 14: people is like what you want them to do, and
Speaker 14: how like raising children is sort of like no, you know,
Speaker 14: don't do that because I said so, and it's like,

Speaker 16: I'm just wondering, uh, hypothetically, with political situation going on
Speaker 16: right now, what would you think hyperathetically if something came
Speaker 16: out of the Arizona audit?
Speaker 1: What would happen the Arizona audit? Yeah, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what that is.
Speaker 16: Oh, the twenty twenty election audit.
Speaker 1: What it was like like if to see if there
Speaker 1: was election fraud in Arizona?
Speaker 16: Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1: Like, what would I think if something came out?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 16: I mean, can something be anything? Or anything be something
Speaker 16: that's a pretty big deal?
Speaker 1: Uh? I mean I don't know anything. I don't really
Speaker 1: know anything about this audit?
Speaker 16: Got it all right? Well, we can get more ethereal
Speaker 16: if you'd like.
Speaker 1: Sure, do you believe something will come out of this audit?
Speaker 16: Personally I do, but I want to wait for the
Speaker 16: evidence for sure.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that there's a giant government conspiracy going on?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 16: Not necessarily government conspiracy, but I do think that there's
Speaker 16: a lot of questions that should be answered, for sure.
Speaker 1: When you say you'd like to talk about something more
Speaker 1: with rethrow, well, what do you affirming? What would you
Speaker 1: mean more rethrill for you to talk about?
Speaker 16: I just meant if the political stuff didn't really sit
Speaker 16: well with the audience, willing to speak about something a
Speaker 16: little bit more interesting.
Speaker 1: Sure, what is interesting to you?
Speaker 16: What is interesting to me? I would say the just
Speaker 16: some existential questions, but.
Speaker 12: I like the h m hm.
Speaker 16: So, so what do you think is uh at the
Speaker 16: the edge.
Speaker 12: Of the universe?
Speaker 1: The edge of the universe?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you a flat earther?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 1: H so the universe has no edge?
Speaker 16: Uh? Well, I mean if you look at the way
Speaker 16: that they map the universe, it would end uh three
Speaker 16: dimensional kind of doughnut shoot, but no, not.
Speaker 12: A flat earther.
Speaker 1: H You so you're a doughnut earther.
Speaker 16: No Earth is sphical. The universe has an end to it.
Speaker 1: What do you believe is at the edge of the universe?
Speaker 16: That is a good question. I have no idea. Recently,
Speaker 16: you're watching a documentary about black holes that states that
Speaker 16: all of the information and matter that goes into the
Speaker 16: black hole is actually contained, so it actually stores information
Speaker 16: and uh slowly emits it back out.
Speaker 1: Mhm. You know, I don't know anything about science or
Speaker 1: things going on. Kind of a dumb guy. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't care to really. Are you know dogs? I keep saying,
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I'm using dogs for everything. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's a funny word to say dog, but the
Speaker 1: animals dogs get a dogs inherited ethereal. Are you a
Speaker 1: big Do you believe in conspiracies? Do you believe in
Speaker 1: like that the world is against us in some way,
Speaker 1: that there are reptilian overlords?
Speaker 16: No, no, no, no. I don't think the reptilians are are
Speaker 16: are are realistic. I think they're as realistic as flatters.
Speaker 16: I would say that there's a big misdirection going on
Speaker 16: in mass and I think the vast majority of people
Speaker 16: are waking up to that. So I have a very
Speaker 16: optimistic view in humanity.
Speaker 1: Do you have a view that humanity is waking up
Speaker 1: to the misdirection?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 1: Do you think that? Do you think that's good?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 1: Do you do? You feel like you have been misdirected.
Speaker 14: Personally now?
Speaker 16: But I feel like a lot of people have been,
Speaker 16: and I feel like that's changing.
Speaker 12: Just based on.
Speaker 16: The area that I live in and small thoughts that
Speaker 16: I've had with people, The general consensus has changed significantly.
