00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: A caller on the phone.

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: MM surprising, I'm sure.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: What is your name?

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: My name is Bridget.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Bridget. What are you doing right now?

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: Right now? Well, I was supposed to be writing a

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: paper for college, but then you started streaming.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: What what was this paper about?

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: It's actually my end of undergraduate capstone high research paper

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: that I'm doing on crop subsidies and water use.

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Well, that sounds extremely boring and I'm glad that. Well,

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it's not boring for you because

14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you signed up to do it. But anyway, Bridget, what's

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Would you call in to talk about

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: if anything?

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: So I called them for a bit of life's advice.

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: I'll be graduating in December here because I started a

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: semester later and afterwards. I'm molling over possibly in Prontt

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: moving to Ireland for a lot of reasons, mostly centering

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: around the fact that my well has a you know,

22
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: it's things weird, but my dad died.

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Make things, make things however you want to make them. Yeah,

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's I'm reading the notes here and it

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: says that your dad died last year and that he

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: had a lot of connections in Ireland, and you're hoping

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: to to, I assume, talk to people that knew your

28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: father to get a little bit of a better perspective

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: on him. Is that is that accurate?

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

31
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: Pretty much? And also just like a connection to the land,

32
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: I guess because my grandma was born and raised there

33
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: obviously my dad's mom, and she died before I was born,

34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: so I didn't get to know her, but I always

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: heard of Ireland through my dad, and my parents divorced

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: very young, and my dad never remarried, and his family

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: is alreay pretty small, so I guess anybody who's like

38
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: had divorced parents knows like when that happens, that parent

39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: kind of like gets in a bubble and it kind

40
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: of feels like you and maybe some family members are

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: only like the connection they have anymore. And now I

42
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: don't have that because those family members and him, besides

43
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: my sister in Texas, which is a whole nother story,

44
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: are gone, so I really only of Ireland.

45
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: What was your father's connection to Ireland? Was he did

46
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: he live like a significant part of his life.

47
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: There, not a significant but was there like commonly with

48
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: because my Grandma would always bring him and my uncle

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: there and back. And he actually has a few cousins

50
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: there who I want to reconnect with, but I don't

51
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: know them. He was there a lot, but I was

52
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: only there four years ago for about a week and

53
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: it was just sightseeing. I met two of them for

54
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: like a day, and I know they're cool people.

55
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I just it's like, do.

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: I want to move to Ireland to experience this part

57
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: of my life that is technically gone? Or should I

58
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: just stay here?

59
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: These people that your dad has had connections to you

60
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: do you Do you have their contact information? Do you

61
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: have them on Facebook or a cell phone?

62
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: I think I.

63
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: Have one of them. I think, uh, yeah, he had

64
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: a cousin who would be like the age of an

65
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: uncle to me somewhere, My my blood uncle probably has it.

66
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: So him and my dad were estranged one he died.

67
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: So, so tell me about where you're kind of at

68
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: in life right now? You are You told me at

69
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of this that you have homework, So you're

70
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: in school? Are you about to graduate?

71
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: M looking like graduating this December and then afterwards is

72
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: where the question kind of comes into play. Where I'll

73
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: be graduated? I don't really have any job lined up,

74
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: so I feel like if I'm going to make a

75
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: big change right now, that would be the time.

76
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: I actually, I totally totally agree with that as a

77
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: sentiment where it's like, if you are going to go

78
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: take a risk or do something fringy or unexpected, right

79
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: now is totally totally the time to do it, right

80
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: because when you have started and what do you what

81
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: are you trying to get a career in crop.

82
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: Stuff basically environmental policy?

83
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know, look when you're when you're you know,

84
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: three years deep into your career, and you know, maybe

85
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: you have a significant other of some kind and you're

86
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: really just are are kind of rooted down where you are.

87
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going to want to go take

88
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: off and run to Irelands because there's gonna be a

89
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: lot more left behind. There's gonna be a lot to

90
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: leave behind. But at this point that you're in right now,

91
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: where you haven't started anything yet, you don't have any

92
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: real commitments. I don't know if you have money saved

93
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: up or anything like that, but now feels like the

94
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: time to do it. If you're going to go do

95
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: something like that, if you desire to do something like that,

96
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: because you know, worst case scenario, if you know there

97
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: is no sustainable future for you in whatever fringe thing

98
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: you decide to do, you can always come back and

99
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: get a crop job, a croppy job. That was stupid.

100
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: So can I have I do have to ask you this.

101
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: I do have to ask you this. I love this idea.

102
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I think it's great. It seems like you're very passionate

103
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: about it. And if it even interests you a moticum

104
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: and you you know, cand afford a plane ticket whatever,

105
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: totally go and do it. Life is short. Why do

106
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: you want to move there and stead? If if your

107
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: primary goal is to learn about your dad and connect

108
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: with all these people, do you do you feel like

109
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you couldn't just accomplish that in a a you know,

110
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: trip of a month or two or three, Why are

111
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: you considering moving there?

112
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question, and it's something I'm still

113
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: like kind of moving over because I still have like

114
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: my mom and stepdad here and friends here. But what's

115
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: kind of like pushing me to think about moving is

116
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: something my dad would always say when he's still alive,

117
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: or he would always mention how my uncle who I've

118
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: mentioned previously very well traveled man, lived in the abroad

119
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: for many months, lived in Germany for a year, all

120
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: this stuff, and my dad never did that, despite loving

121
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: the aspect of different countries, different places, different cultures, and

122
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: he said he always always regretted it. And I'm wondering

123
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: that if I don't take that chance right now, am

124
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: I going to regret not just taking a trip, you know,

125
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: because you take a trip and you leave, you know,

126
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: you people are just like, oh, she was nice. But

127
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: if I moved there for let's say, at least a year,

128
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: then I'm actually like instilling myself in the culture and

129
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: knowing just being a traveler.

130
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I I like that. That's a good explanation,

131
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: and that actually does make a lot of sense to

132
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: be like, no, I'm going to actually, you know, really

133
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: try to to to live in a place, and why

134
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: that would be different from just you know, a trip

135
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: of a couple of months. That makes a lot of sense.

136
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Bridget I think you should do it. I love shit

137
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: like this, I really do. I really do believe that

138
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: life is short and that if you want to have

139
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: a career in environmental policy, I think that you know,

140
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: you got your degree and you know, the job prospects

141
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: are not going anywhere if you want to spend this

142
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: year in Ireland, and I think I think you should

143
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: do it now. If you're going to do it right,

144
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: like you you can always start your career afterwards. Who

145
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: fucking knows. Maybe something happens in Ireland that you're like, oh,

146
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't even want to do environmental policy. Maybe I

147
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: want to do this or go to this place. Maybe

148
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: you meet someone who's like, hey, I got this startup

149
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: going on in fucking Laos. You want to come, and

150
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, sure, and then you're in Laos and

151
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: then you meet the love of your life and then

152
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: they break your heart. But then you meet someone else

153
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: who's even better, and then you go to fucking Japan.

154
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just just life is short.

155
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: You should do these things if you feel like you

156
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: want to do them. I'm fully in favor. Also, it's cool,

157
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it's this is like a movie thing. To me. This

158
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: feels like it's a plot of a movie. You might

159
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: come out of this with a good screenplay and it

160
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: has a purpose too. Yeah, I like everything about this.

161
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: I I I think you should do it. I'm I'm

162
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm in favor, and I'm not just saying that because

163
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm green and biased. Because of that, I've said too

164
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: many stupid things over the course of this call. But no,

165
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: I think I think you should do it. I like

166
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: the idea of taking your big risks early because it's

167
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: you're You're never gonna be in a better position later

168
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: on in your career to do.

169
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: This kind of shit, right right, Yeah, Wow, that was

170
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: some solid advice.

171
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Well have you been talking to your your mom about this?

172
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: What does she think?

173
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: I've mentioned it to her. She's not not opposed, as

174
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: all moms are. She'd like me to stay close to home.

175
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: It's just a little difficult of a topic in our

176
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: families because my parents had a very nasty doors, to

177
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: say the least, and it happened when I was like three,

178
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: so I barely even remember it. But long story short,

179
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: I can never remember them having a pleasant conversation. So

180
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: it's like, it's not that she opposes Ireland, it's just

181
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: the I guess relationship to my dad. But you know,

182
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: she's not saying don't go, but she's not like grinning

183
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: as a fact, H.

184
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: I get why you want to stay close to your mom.

185
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: And your stepdad and your friends. But you know, it's

186
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: a difficult thing. You want to be close to your family,

187
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: but also you're aware that life is short and you

188
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: want to go out and live it. And you know,

189
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: I think you should, and you know, go to Ireland,

190
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: FaceTime your mom, you know, once a week at the

191
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: very minimum, and you know, I, yeah, I think you

192
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: should go for it.

193
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you. I'll call in if I'm there

194
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: next year.

195
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you want to say to the

196
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go, Bridget.

197
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: I guess your dad dies moved to Ireland.

198
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Solid advice. Thanks, take care.

199
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 4: Too.

200
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: I like, I liked her. She had first of all,

201
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: like I said, great movie premise, great movie premise. I

202
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: who knows what kind of I cannot see the trailer

203
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: for that movie in my head. The characters that she meets,

204
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: she'll piece together her father's story. It reminds me of

205
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: what's that movie? Extremely loud and incredibly close. Isn't that

206
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of what that movie was? Anyway? I liked I like.

207
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I think that's a great

208
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: life experience. And I I really, in my fucking core,

209
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: I do believe that life is short. And that that

210
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: if if she is in a position to go and

211
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: have this life experience, she really should. I mean, who,

212
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: who the fuck knows what could happen as a result

213
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: of her taking a chance. I'm inspired, I'm excited for her.

214
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be cool. I think she's gonna

215
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: learn some stuff. I think she's gonna feel really connected

216
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: to her father, connected to her family. And I'm glad

217
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: to hear that her mother is not actively discouraging her

218
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: from it, because it seems to me that she holds

219
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: her mother's opinion in a solid regard. You know, she

220
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: wants to be close to her and the stepdad and

221
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: the friends, and I hope she has the courage to

222
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: do it. I think she should. Shall we shall? We

223
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: take phone calls? Hello, Hello, Hi, Hi, how are you?

224
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 5: I'm good? How are you?

225
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: I am feeling I'm actually feeling uh really good. I'm

226
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: feeling good. Uh. How are you feeling?

227
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:12,840

240
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 5: little uh jazz and this party I was just a

241
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 5: few nights ago. We were just having a grand all time,

242
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: getting into it, you know, and Uh, I could have

243
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: sworn I felt. Now let me purpose this by saying

244
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: we are not new to butt stuff but stuff. I mean,

245
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: let me just I mean, you say, we can say

246
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: anything on here right, Like that's the pab I opening

247
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: the porn hube, you know what I mean, Like like

248
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: that's that's the stuff that I like. So this isn't

249
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: new for me. But for some reason, I mean, I

250
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 5: guess maybe it was because I was I was stoned.

251
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 5: I don't know, I could have sworn it was slipping out.

252
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: And so he's behind me going to town and I'm like, hey, bro,

253
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: can you like poke that in just a little bit.

254
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: I think it's about to slip out, and he does.

255
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: He does it, He does it, and then he doesn't

256
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: see it. He doesn't see it. It's gone. It's up

257
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 5: in my butthole. He pulled out.

258
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Are you talking you? Are you talking about his penis? No?

259
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 5: No, I should have purposed that. I'm so sorry I have.

260
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: Because because when you said his penis disappeared into your asshole,

261
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's, first of all, would be terrifying. That

262
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: would be an awful trip to the hospital. If he

263
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: lost his penis so like a.

264
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 5: Prosthetic penis and he just lost it, that'd be horrible.

265
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

266
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: But no, it was a vibrating butt plug. And I mean,

267
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 5: I'll admit it was like I don't know, I don't

268
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 5: know if you, like are around anybody that baps regularly,

269
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 5: but I mean that's the size of like a like

270
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 5: a like a bigger, like a bigger size of bape.

271
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 5: But it was, you know, butt plug shaped, and it vibrated. Well,

272
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: there's a grand old time until it got lost. So

273
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: I sent him to the kitchen because he's freaking out.

274
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm high.

275
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 5: I'm laughing and crying at the same time. It was honestly,

276
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: it was kind of an amazing mix of emotions.

277
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: But he uh.

278
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: He goes in, he gets the kitchen gloves and he's like,

279
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 5: I can't.

280
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 4: I can't feel it.

281
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: The whole time, shit's still vibrating. I'm like, we got

282
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: to go to the hospital. He's like, no, you gotta

283
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 5: go to the hospital. Mind you, we have a two

284
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 5: year old. She's in bitter sleep. I'm like, I cannot.

285
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 5: I cannot go to the er in this condition and

286
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 5: explain to these people why I have a butt plug

287
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: stuck in my asshole. I can't do that. I was

288
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 5: crying still. I was like, I can't. It's just this

289
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 5: is ridiculous. It's humiliating. And he finally caved. He caved.

290
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 4: He went with me.

291
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: He got the baby up, ain't got me in the car.

292
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 5: We get in there, I walk in and there's I

293
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 5: just walked. Yeah, man, I can't leave a baby at

294
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: the house.

295
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, that's perfect, perfect timing, right, because

296
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: it sounds like the baby is just young enough that

297
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: you will not remember any of this. It's perfect, perfect Okay,

298
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: so happen when you get to the hospital. I already

299
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: DoD why you know, people who look, I understand why

300
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: if you have a currently vibrating butt plug inside of

301
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: your asshole. Why you would be embarrassed to, you know,

302
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: go get help for that. But these are medical experts

303
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about here. I mean, they've probably seen much worse.

304
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: This is true, But I was not anticipating the security guard.

305
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 5: And the security guard had to let me into the

306
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 5: ere and she's like, Okay, where are you needing to

307
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: go to? Not I'm like, oh, the ere?

308
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: What brings you mean?

309
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 5: I'm my bro, this is this is humiliating, but I

310
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 5: have something stuck in my butte. She tries to keep

311
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: a straight face and she couldn't and I was like, yeah,

312
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: she calls them. They called me back. It dies in

313
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: the middle of the intake question. I look over at

314
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 5: my husband and I'm like, it died. The nurse lost

315
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 5: her shit, he lost his shit. I'm like, this is

316
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 5: not funny. Kind of is because it died at just

317
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 5: the best moment, because I think if it had a

318
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: still been vibrating when the doctor tried to get it out,

319
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: I would have legit di embarrassments.

320
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh the battery died.

321
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, the battery died, mind you. This was this was

322
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: like thirty minutes later. It was sitting there, you know,

323
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 5: just doing this thing for about thirty minutes.

324
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: I feel like the battery on the bluff, I feel

325
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: like the battery on a butt plug. It doesn't really

326
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: need to last longer than thirty minutes, does it.

327
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like it doesn't. I feel like

328
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: it doesn't even need to last that long.

329
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: That well, So Jane, you know, look, I'm glad that you, uh,

330
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,600

331
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: it was cathartic for you. And I want to know,

333
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: you can take with your own maneuver through the universe.

334
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Get bigger butt plugs.

335
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: That yeah, no, not bigger necessarily the ones with the

336
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: little rings at the end that you can pull out.

337
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 5: They won't just like yeah, smart oh did this give

338

Speaker 5: you anything?

339
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, did this give you any sort of a

340
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: like adversion to butt stuff in the future, like butt

341
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: PTSD of like I don't want things near my ass

342
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: because then they'll get stuck in there type of thing.

343
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: Or were you or did you guys have butt sex

344
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: that night?

345
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 5: No, we didn't. We didn't. I mean, it's not like

346
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 5: an aversion like I had to like genuinely. It was

347
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 5: kind of like a birthing experience. I've never birthed a child,

348
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: but I would say that that that has to feel

349
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 5: very similar what I was doing in there.

350
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: And so.

351
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: No, I mean, I just I still enjoy it. I

352
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: still like we Obviously we didn't get to finish that

353
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: night because we had to go to the e R.

354
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: So I mean the next night I was back at

355
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 5: it again on the porn hood no aversion. I do

356
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: it again, honestly, just not with that specific boot clog.

357
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: Wait, is is your daughter adopted?

358
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: Yes?

359
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was.

360
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I like the idea. I like the idea. I like

361
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: the idea that you reveal to your daughter that, uh,

362
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: she's adopted by telling like, by telling them that story.

363
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 5: She would be mortified. I mean, if she's anything like me,

364
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: she's just probably gonna laugh.

365
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: But You're like, the plage got sucked up into me

366
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: and then I had to birth it out, which you know,

367
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: felt weird because I've never birthed anything before. Oh, by

368
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: the way, you're adopted, that.

369
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 5: Would be great. That would be a terrific way. Yeah,

370
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: I'll take it under.

371
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,080

00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,840

00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: Is there?

393
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Is there a thing you called in to talk about?

394
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I'm going on trips in exactly sixty four days,

395
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: five hours or five minutes. I have a countdown with

396
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: some friends that I met online and we've been friends

397
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 4: for like a couple of years, and we were just like,

398
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: let's do it.

399
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 5: Looks meet up.

400
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: But I haven't in like two years. I haven't hung

401
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: out with anybody but family in person. So I'm a

402
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 4: little nervous that you know I'm gonna get there and

403
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: they're gonna be like, wow, this proves really weird because

404
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 4: I am very awkward and clumsy.

405
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: M hm.

406
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: Can I ask why you haven't hang out with anyone

407
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: except for your family in the past two years.

408
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: It's kind of isolated out here. Before I moved out

409
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: from in Nevada with my fam. But before that, I

410
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 4: lived in New York and I lived in an update

411
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: and I was I lived at roommates, and I had

412
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: friends and we could go out and do stuff and

413
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 4: that kind of and did madly. So I came back

414
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: to you with my family, and it's way more isolated

415
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: out here. And I'm kind of antisocial anyway, like I

416
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: have to.

417
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: It takes it takes some.

418
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: Time for me to go like, okay, let's go like

419
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: to be social.

420
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Are you are you anti? Are you antisocial by choice?

421
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: Like you just prefer having alone time and and or

422
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: or is it a mainly just because of a difficulty

423
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: meeting people and summoning the energy to do that.

424
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit of both. I like

425
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 4: my alone time. I don't mind being alone, Like I'm

426
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: not sad that I'm alone all the time, but I

427
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: you know, I do have fun when I'm out with friends.

428
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: It's just like, if it's easier to be alone, I

429
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: guess it's convenient.

430
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: Hm, it is. It is a lot more canvenient, unquestionably

431
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: to sit in your room on your phone in the

432
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: dark as much as you possibly can, as opposed to

433
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: going out into the universe undeniably more convenient one hundred

434
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: percent of the time.

435
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: Right.

436
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: Uh, So you're going on a trip with these friends.

437
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: How many of you guys are there?

438
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: Five?

439
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: Five?

440
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 4: How did you meet them fortnight?

441
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: Cam? You know, I know that you're nervous, but I

442
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: think and do any of them? Do any of them

443
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: know each other? Or none of you guys have met

444
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: any of each other before?

445
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 4: Not none of us isn't in person. But one person

446
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: is in California, so what's not even six hours for me?

447
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: And two people are in Florida, which is where we're going.

448
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: So we're all like not all that, we're like kind

449
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: of cloth already, some of us.

450
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited for you, Cam. I know that you have

451
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: these these fears that people are going to judge you

452
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I first of all guarantee that that

453
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: will not happen. I think it is a high probability

454
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: that your internet friends are likely thinking the same thing themselves.

455
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: So it's like a weird, you know, freshman year of

456
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: high school or college thing where everyone is going into it,

457
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: uh nervous and a little worried, but also excited and

458
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: ready to to make connections. I'm excited for you. I

459
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: also think, you know, if you haven't been interacting with

460
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: people socially for two years, it makes perfect sense why

461
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: it would scare you. But like I said, I'm excited

462
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: for you. I think it's good to be nervous. I'm

463
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: learning that a lot more now. I think it's good

464
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: to be nervous because it means it means that you

465
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: have something that is about to challenge you in some way.

466
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: You know, you said that you're you stay on your

467
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually I think it's I think it's great that

468
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: you're doing this, because you said that you've been spending

469
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: the past two years on your phone in the dark,

470
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: and you could have said no. You could have well,

471
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: you could have said no. You could have been like,

472
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm too nervous, I don't want to do it. But

473
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: you were really you noticed, you were really I'm sure

474
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: you were really nervous when you got the invitation, but

475
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: you didn't let that stop you. You said, yes, I'll

476
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: go out and I'll do it. And I'm proud of

477
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: for doing that. It takes a lot to go against

478
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: your central nervous system and dive headfirst into a new

479
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: experience and to take active efforts against the convenient lifestyle

480
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: you've been living in the hopes that you'll have an

481
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: experience that will improve your life in some way. That

482
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: takes a lot to do. I'm glad you're doing it.

483
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: You will probably be nervous for the rest of the

484
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: sixty four days because the central nervous system cannot be

485
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: reasoned with. It can only be beat by action. That's

486
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: what I've learned as my own personal experience with my

487
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: own central nervous system that I've been having a complicated

488
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: relationship with over the past few years. But here's the thing.

489
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: You will go on this trip. You will face your

490
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: fears and meet these people. You will have a great time,

491
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: and afterwards you will have had an experience where you

492
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: were nervous to do something, did it, realized there was

493
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: nothing to be nervous about, and then next time you're

494
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: facing a situation that makes you nervous, you will have

495
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: first hand evidence that your nerves are not telling you

496
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: a truthful story, and that will help you deal with

497
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: them a little bit better. And then you'll face that,

498
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: and then you'll encounter another situation that makes you nervous,

499
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: and then you'll have two sets of firsthand evidence that

500
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: your nerves are lying to you. And then you keep

501
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: doing that, and you keep doing that, and then eventually

502
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: you just get better at facing your fears. I like that,

503
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: What are you guys going to do in Florida? Are

504
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: you going to bush Gardens?

505
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're probably gonna go to bush Gardens and do

506
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: like a tour But you're actually I just I just

507
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: said a random thing.

508
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: You're actually going to bush gardens.

509
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's like a tourism past and it includes Busch Gardens,

510
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: So I mean, why not?

511
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: Right?

512
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Ah, man, Cam, You're gonna have a good ass time, Dude,

513
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: you got nothing to worry about.

514
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 4: Like, I'm not just anxious, But I don't know. It

515
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: just kind of hit me the other day and I

516
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: was like, Wow, it's been a while.

517
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Anxiety is a form of excitement. I think. I don't know.

518
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't. That comes from absolutely no information whatsoever except

519
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: personal anecdote. I think it's like anticipation, right, That's what

520
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: the end is, an anxiety anticipation. Again, no information. But okam,

521
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: is there anything else you want to say to the

522
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?

523
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 4: No, but thanks for being you because you're awesome and

524
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 4: you make life fun.

525
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Can I ask you one more thing? If do you believe?

526
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: And I guess you won't know this until you're actually there,

527
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: but do you think that if this goes well for

528
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: you and you do have fun, would you consider when

529
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: you return home seeking out more situations where you can

530
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: put yourself out there to make friends.

531
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

532
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: I've been thinking about it, you know.

533
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: Not.

534
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 4: I'm like, obviously I can't get into my whole life story,

535
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 4: but I haven't had a lot of opportunities to do

536
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: things for me, just like because I think I would

537
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: have fun doing them. So in planning this trip and

538
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: like buying a plane tickets and like finding somewhere to stay,

539
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 4: just like doing it together as a group, I've just

540
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: kind of been thinking on about like what I want

541
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: to do, like just for me to have fun, even

542
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 4: if it is scary. So I definitely think if I

543
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 4: go or when I go, obviously I'm going, I paid money,

544
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 4: but look after I definitely think that if it goes

545
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 4: well and stuff that I want to do more beautiful,

546
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: which is more scary?

547
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: Well yeah, you know, well you know everything I said

548
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: you you'll you face your fears once and then it

549
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: becomes easier the second time and so on. So you know, again,

550
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: good on you for taking the steps to uh do

551
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: something even if you're nervous to do it. Yeah's too short,

552
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: thanks for calling kem by Lyle. Okay, let's see. How

553
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: can I make this about me? Yes, I will talk

554
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: about my live tour again. One of the things I

555
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: really learned doing these shows is is that process that

556
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: I and you know, whatever doing show is going to

557
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: meet friends. Is any fucking thing that it is that

558
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: could raise your fucking blood pressure and cause you to

559
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: get all squirmy, is really just that process of like

560
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: learning to jump forward and it just watching it get

561
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: easier and easier every time you do it. And that's

562
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: something I'm trying to like for myself. Just I'm trying

563
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: to like exposure therapy myself out out of nerves, whatever

564
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: those nerves may be. Because I think I think the

565
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a fucking doctor or a scientist,

566
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: but I think you're adrenaline stuff can only raise so

567
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: much that it just gets tired, and then you become

568
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: numb to your nervousness, and then you can just do stuff.

569
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: But like I've said multiple times, I have no idea

570
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Next caller, Hello, Hello, is this

571
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: the gek? This is the gek?

572
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 3: Oh? My god, my days? The maid?

573
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: What's going on?

574
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: Man? Huh? Not a whole lot. I called to talk

575
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: about backyard wrestling.

576
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: You called to talk about backyard wrestling, Yes, sir, uh yeah, man.

577
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: It says here that you are a backyard wrestler for

578
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: a local backyard wrestling federation. Is this what you do

579
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: for a living? You're a backyard wrestler?

580
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I do.

581
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: How did you get into that?

582
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: It started when I was about sixteen. I was a

583
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: big wrestling not as most people usually are, and I

584
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 3: ended up hanging out with friends who also like wrestling.

585
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: We just started wrestling around on a trampline Casually. Over

586
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 3: the years, I kind of just leveled up from that.

587
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: I went and wrestled on like mattresses and stuff after

588
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: getting out of the trampline thing. And now I'm in

589
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: a ring, so still not a full trained professional, but

590
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: it's fun. It's a good hobby.

591
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: Now, when you were wrestling around with your friends, did

592
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: you ever get into a situation where someone got like

593
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: seriously fucked up.

594
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a few of them. Not in the

595
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 3: group i'm in now. Our group's pretty safe, but I've

596
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 3: seen some things, that's for sure.

597
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything you want to talk about a few of them. Yeah,

598
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm down to where.

599
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: Probably the scariest one I've heard, which ironically got me

600
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: into a really crazy match. But this guy was wrestling

601
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 3: another guy. He had a chair, you know, typical wrestling.

602
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: Hit a guy with a chair, right, and the guy

603
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: ended up not protecting his head when he got hit

604
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: with the chair and part of the chair was broken

605
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 3: off and nobody knew about it and slashed his head

606
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: like big time. He had to have like multiple staples,

607
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: couldn't wrestle for a very long time. It was. It

608
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: was some scary stuff.

609
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty gnarly. But wait, so how did that get

610
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: you involved in a match?

611
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 3: So the day after the guy who wanted to wrestle

612
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: that guy because he couldn't wrestle. He saw I was

613
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: doing some crazy stuff and he was like, hey, I

614
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: want to wrestle you. So I kind of got his

615
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 3: misfortunate end up being my gain. As bad as that sounds,

616
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 3: but it was also the craziest match in my life.

617
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: We had. We had like a table, fladers and chairs

618
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 3: kind of match, and this guy didn't really fly off latterers.

619
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 3: He jumped out of a giant tree at me.

620
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: All right, did that's scary? He was jumping out of

621
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: a giant tree.

622
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 3: I was scared of was me and the guys that

623
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: were not going to be able to catch them. That

624
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 3: was the scariest part because like he had to have

625
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: been like a good twenty feet up and I'm thankful

626
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: we all caught him and no one was hurt. But

627
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: I was like, you're nuts. I'll take the move, but

628
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: as long as I have some help catching you, because

629
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 3: I don't trust myself catching you. Tell me I have

630
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: a tree maybe twenty feet in the area.

631
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: You know, So you've been doing this since you were sixteen,

632
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: and says you're thirty two now, so it's been about Yeah,

633
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: it's been about sixteen years. It's been half your life

634
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: sixteen years. So how has your relationship with this thing

635
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: evolved over the past sixteen years? Like you know, is

636
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: there is a passion for it all, past Or waned

637
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: Or tell me how it's evolved.

638
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: It's a actually been a wild roller coaster. So sixteen,

639
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: like I said, just starting liking it eventually became something

640
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 3: I became fascinated and fell in love with. After I

641
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 3: graduated high school, my group was starting to wind down

642
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 3: and people were losing interest. So, like a typical thing

643
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 3: in the late two thousands, Messenger forums right back then,

644
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: and there was one specifically for backyard wrestlers called GBYWN

645
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: and I ended up going on there meeting some people.

646
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: And that's actually how I ended up going to that group.

647
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: It wasn't even my own group. It was in Indiana.

648
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: I ended up traveling a couple of states down to

649
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 3: head there. So I ended hanging out.

650
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh I keep going, keep going?

651
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, So I started traveling and just meeting other

652
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: backyard wrestlers while my group was not around. She became

653
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: more and more fascinated by it. As the years went on,

654
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: I've calmed down a lot. I don't have people flying

655
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 3: out of trees or anything at me anymore. Like we've

656
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: we've gotten smarter over the years, of course, but wrestling

657
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: in general kind of saved my life in many ways,

658
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: as weird as that sounds, I depressed kid, just didn't

659
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: have anything going for me, and then all of a

660
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: sudden I found friends and we liked wrestling and just

661
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: kind of evolved from there. And then once they left it,

662
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 3: I always found a way to like bring wrestling into

663
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: helping me through my mental struggles.

664
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, to this day a lot with your mental struggles.

665
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like I guess therapy, you know,

666
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 3: in a way. It's a weird way to say it,

667
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 3: but it's kind of like it kind of just gets

668
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 3: me out of my zone and makes me feel like

669
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 3: Superman sometimes. I don't know, m.

670
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: Do you have Are you in a relationship at all?

671
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: I am not. I'm single, Okay?

672
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: Have you had any relationships the past?

673
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: A few toxic ones just didn't work out mostly, I

674
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm kind of a bigger guy, so like

675
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 3: I'm not the best looking person on earth.

676
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: I have to ask, do you meet like like these

677
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: these toxic exes? Did you meet them through wrestling or

678
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: through other means.

679
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: Other means, but I don't know, like they always supported

680
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 3: what I did. It's just things didn't work out pretty

681
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 3: much every time, and then they just kind of, uh

682
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 3: pretty much just dumped on me because I'm two nights

683
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: of a guy. Mm hm, Like they just took advantage

684
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 3: of me and stuff. So it's like, uh, relationships aren't

685
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 3: really my thing. Wrestling is kind of what got me

686
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 3: through at all. Mm hmmm.

687
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: Uh So moving forward, I mean, you've been doing this

688
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: for half your life. Uh, I mean for the rest

689
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: of your life? Do you do you plan on? Uh?

690
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: Do you see yourself wrestling?

691
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 3: I'm hoping to continue for another couple of years for you.

692
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 4: Now.

693
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 3: I'm on a really good run with my local group.

694
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: I ended up finding some guys and we got we

695
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 3: ended up purchasing a ring and we have a ring

696
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 3: in my friend's yard and that's what we're doing now.

697
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 3: And I want to at least keep going on as

698
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: long as i can on it because I'm really enjoying

699
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 3: what I'm doing currently at this time.

700
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: So I have another question to me, you know, I

701
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: have another question. Uh, you know, I feel like there

702
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: is sort of a double edged sword to build your

703
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: life if I'm getting an accurate picture of you. Uh,

704
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: it can be like a double edged sword to build

705
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: your life around one thing, you know, because.

706
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: It's very self destructive in a way.

707
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me about that.

708
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 3: Hobbies and stuff.

709
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: Mhm, tell me about that. How how is it as

710
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: a negatively affected you at all to build your life

711
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: solely around wrestling.

712
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, Like I have other hobbies, but that's like

713
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: the big like part of me that it's like the

714
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 3: dominant part of me, you know.

715
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

716
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: Like I play Magic of the Gathering. I have a

717
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 3: group of friends who play magic. I I work quite

718
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: working at a taco bell met a lot of friends there,

719
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: so like I'm a very social person, but like I

720
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: just never find anyone good for me, you know, in

721
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: terms of relationships and stuff.

722
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: Mm hm, Is there anything?

723
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: Uh?

724
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: Probably is there anything in your your like to sort

725
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: of keep you moving forward. I feel like it's important

726
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: to have these, uh goals or things you want that

727
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: kind of help you, you know, figure out what your

728
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: next moves are going to be. Would you say that

729
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: you have any like goals for the future that you're

730
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: aiming for insider outside of wrestlem.

731
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean outside. I'm hoping to eventually set on

732
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 3: my role a little bit within the next couple of

733
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 3: years and hopefully find someone by then and just kind

734
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: of figure things out from there.

735
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: Uh So you said you're gonna do this for about

736
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: two years. What would you what would your life look

737
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: like should you retire from wrestling, Like, what else would

738
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: you want to do?

739
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 3: Well, that was the hard part because I've already done

740
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 3: it twice and then it just kind of find find

741
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: it finds its way back to me. So like I've

742
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 3: already like said, all right, I need to stop, and

743
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 3: then I just start feeling better, get the catch come back. Yeah,

744
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: but I know I'm not going to be going more

745
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 3: than two or three years because I don't think my

746
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 3: body could take it. So I've been slowly trying to

747
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 3: figure out what's the next move, and it's not going

748
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: to be there for me all the time anymore. You know.

749
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: Have you come to any conclusions or leaned towards any

750
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: ideas of what that might be?

751
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 3: Not one hundred percent sure I have. Like, honestly, it's

752
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: just kind of recently become a thought in my mind.

753
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 3: And that's actually really good. You brought that up, because

754
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 3: that's something I've never really addressed, even to myself yet.

755
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: I haven't think I'm kind of avoiding that idea.

756
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it? Is it a scary thing for you?

757
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: Kind of? I am on the autism spectrum, so anxiety

758
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: is definitely a weakness of mine. So it's it's kind

759
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 3: of hard to like, you know, I don't really know

760
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: how to explain it.

761
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: Is this something you've been avoiding.

762
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 3: A little bit? I would say I would say I've

763
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 3: been avoiding or buying time sleep probably be a bit

764
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: better word for it. I'm installing, Yeah, you.

765
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: Know, I don't.

766
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 3: I know.

767
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I hope I don't sound like I'm asking,

768
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: like leading questions to make this seem like a bad thing,

769
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: because I actually think think the opposite. I think you

770
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: know what you seem you know, I don't know you,

771
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: but you seem like you're very happy with where you

772
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: are in your life. And that's probably as a result

773
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: of you not thinking so crazy hard about what you're

774
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: going to do when wrestling ends, or you know, what

775
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: life is going to look like later down the line,

776
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: or how you are going to somehow you know, I mean,

777
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: all these questions I'm asking you, you know, how you're going

778
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: to you know, complete whatever is incomplete about your your life.

779

00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, out of you comes from just fucking being

781
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: in the moment, doing the wrestling and living your life.

782
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: You know. I tend to have a bad habbit of

783
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: I have a bad habit of saying here for a

784
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: good time, not a long time. But I should definitely

785
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 3: be thinking the opposite too.

786
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean the way that I'm trying to

787
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: phrase it is like it it doesn't sound like it's

788
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: a bad thing. It sounds like it's a source of

789
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of joy for it that you're you're you're

790

Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Have a great night.

808
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: Like I had an interesting perspective. I felt like I

809
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: maybe I was asking leading questions. I ask questions like that,

810
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: not hoping to get an answer, but sort of with

811
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: a genuine curiosity about it.

812
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: You know.

813
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who lives his life in

814
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: the days of his life, not stressing out about the

815
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: overall portrait that he's painting across years and years, just

816
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: fucking hanging out and wrestling and being with friends and

817
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: you know. And I kept sort of asking, like, you know,

818
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: is there anything beyond that that you want? And the

819
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: answer kept I I hope I was listening correctly, but

820
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: the answer kept kind of being like, you know, hey,

821
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

822
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking so much about, oh I need to

823
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: find a wife. I'm not thinking so much about oh

824
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do when wrestling ends? Because he's

825
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: enjoying the moment and he kind of started at the

826
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: end thinking of that as a bad thing. But I

827
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing, because I mean, this is dark,

828
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: but way you know, Fuck, we never know how much

829
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: time we're gonna have. We don't know we're gonna be

830
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: around in five years. We don't know what the fuck

831
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: could happen. They go, I mean, this guy's living in

832
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: the moment, and uh, if you live in the moment

833
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: for eighty years, that's a good life. So shout out

Speaker 6: I was too tall for him, So there's a high

863
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 6: limit for tanks.

864
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: What okay, what sort of life analogies have you learned

865
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: from operating tanks?

866
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 3: You know?

867
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: Like a tank? How in what way is a tank

868
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: like life?

869
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 3: Is it?

870
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: How is a tank like a relationship? How is the

871
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: tank like running a business?

872
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 6: So there's four people in the tank?

873
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah for the United States?

874
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 6: And uh, it's all about teamwork. So you learn a

875
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 6: lot about teamwork because if your driver ain't doing something,

876
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 6: you can't move, your gunner are not doing something, You

877
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 6: can't hit anything, loader can't not doing his job.

878
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: All right, So, uh, what position were you in the tank?

879
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: Are you doing?

880
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 6: I was a start off as driver, a loader, then

881
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 6: I moved up to gunner, and then I finished off

882
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 6: his tank commander.

883
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: Takes a tank commander. And what did you learn about

884
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: like commanding people? How do you get people to respond

885
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: to you if they were like on their phone playing

886
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 1: tetris when they should be.

887
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 6: Respect and they'll respect you because I feel like a

888
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 6: shitty leader. Excuse me language and all, but uh, I

889
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 6: was going to respect you, and they're not going to

890
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 6: do what you say. But if you show that you

891
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 6: want to work with them and you respect them and

892
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 6: what they do and you listen to them, they'll follow you.

893
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: Anywhere have you ever been, I mean being in the army.

894
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: You before you became a leader, you were under the

895
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: command of a lot of different leaders. What from your

896
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: experience would you say, Uh, is the difference between a

897
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: good leader and a bad leader?

898
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 6: So I had both. I had bad leaders and I

899
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 6: had good leaders.

900
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what were the bad leaders like? You know, you

901
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: don't have to give any names.

902
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so this is one dude, I be in

903
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 6: a game of checkers. Was my sergeant and he was

904
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 6: like you being in a game of checkers. I was like,

905
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 6: hell yeah, I did. He smoked me right there push

906
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 6: ups and stuff. Yeah, and then he was like you sure.

907
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 6: I was like hell yeah. Because I fooled a lot,

908
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 6: I had to do it anyway.

909
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

910
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 6: So I just didn't like to style leadership. And then

911
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 6: I had other leaders that call check upon me on

912
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 6: the weekends and stuff like, hey, how you doing. You

913
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 6: need anything? Just my number. Hey, I'm it's gonna be

914
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 6: like one hundred miles away, but if you need anything,

915
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 6: just call me. And I took that and I was like, damn,

916
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 6: that's a really good way to like lead, and I

917
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 6: made that in my leadship style.

918
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: So you it sounds like you lead with a lot

919
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: of kindness. Yeah, what's your line between Like there's there's

920
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: a problem. I feel like leaders run into where you

921
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: want to be kind, you want to be benevolent, but

922
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: you also have to fucking lay down the law when

923
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: it comes time. Is that something you you are good

924
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: at doing?

925
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely? So there's a there's alignment team working play, like

926
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 6: when does joke? Ran went on to sure, and I

927
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 6: try to like shout out with the guys. That's like

928
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 6: under me and I really haven't had any problems. I mean,

929
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 6: if there is, we try we like to try to

930
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 6: solve it on a lowest level, because the further up

931
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 6: it gets, the more people that know it's just pay

932
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 6: the ass.

933
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: How about this six year old version interview react If

934
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: he saw you commanding a tank.

935
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 6: He probably stooped. They'd be like, holy ship, dude, Yeah.

936
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: Where do you, like, like, have you driven this tank

937
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: on like an active battlefield before?

938
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 6: No, So with the would like I was in California

939
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 6: with the training. There's a giant training area out there,

940
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 6: and we train on different armies. I worked with the Japanese,

941
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 6: the British, the Canadians, the French, to Germans, South Koreans,

942
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 6: countries from all over. And but we do we do

943
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 6: war games games. Yeah yeah, So basically it's like it's

944
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 6: a giant game of laser tag.

945
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: So that so instead of giants, uh fucking rockets, the

946
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: tank shoots lasers.

947
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's like it and then we have like

948
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 6: systems to say, oh, you're dead, and and we also

949
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 6: shoot blanks and stuff and all like simulated rockets. But yeah,

950
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 6: that's it's a really cool.

951
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: That's so interesting. Man, So are you in a position

952
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: where like if if I have no idea the military works,

953
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: if shit goes down in some place that we and

954
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: we're at war, like, are you you gotta go over
