WEBVTT - "I'M MAKING A BIG CHANGE"

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello, Well, well, well, look who we have here?

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>A caller on the phone.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 2>MM surprising, I'm sure.

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>What is your name?

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>My name is Bridget.

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Bridget. What are you doing right now?

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Right now? Well, I was supposed to be writing a

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>paper for college, but then you started streaming.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>What what was this paper about?

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>It's actually my end of undergraduate capstone high research paper

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that I'm doing on crop subsidies and water use.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, that sounds extremely boring and I'm glad that. Well,

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe it's not boring for you because

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you signed up to do it. But anyway, Bridget, what's

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>what's up? Man? Would you call in to talk about

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>if anything?

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>So I called them for a bit of life's advice.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll be graduating in December here because I started a

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>semester later and afterwards. I'm molling over possibly in Prontt

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>moving to Ireland for a lot of reasons, mostly centering

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>around the fact that my well has a you know,

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>it's things weird, but my dad died.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Make things, make things however you want to make them. Yeah,

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's I'm reading the notes here and it

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>says that your dad died last year and that he

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of connections in Ireland, and you're hoping

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to to, I assume, talk to people that knew your

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>father to get a little bit of a better perspective

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>on him. Is that is that accurate?

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Pretty much? And also just like a connection to the land,

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess because my grandma was born and raised there

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously my dad's mom, and she died before I was born,

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't get to know her, but I always

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>heard of Ireland through my dad, and my parents divorced

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>very young, and my dad never remarried, and his family

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>is alreay pretty small, so I guess anybody who's like

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>had divorced parents knows like when that happens, that parent

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of like gets in a bubble and it kind

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>of feels like you and maybe some family members are

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>only like the connection they have anymore. And now I

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>don't have that because those family members and him, besides

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>my sister in Texas, which is a whole nother story,

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>are gone, so I really only of Ireland.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>What was your father's connection to Ireland? Was he did

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he live like a significant part of his life.

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 2>There, not a significant but was there like commonly with

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>because my Grandma would always bring him and my uncle

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>there and back. And he actually has a few cousins

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>there who I want to reconnect with, but I don't

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 2>know them. He was there a lot, but I was

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 2>only there four years ago for about a week and

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>it was just sightseeing. I met two of them for

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>like a day, and I know they're cool people.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I just it's like, do.

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to move to Ireland to experience this part

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of my life that is technically gone? Or should I

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>just stay here?

0:03:55.240 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>These people that your dad has had connections to you

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>do you Do you have their contact information? Do you

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>have them on Facebook or a cell phone?

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I think I.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Have one of them. I think, uh, yeah, he had

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a cousin who would be like the age of an

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 2>uncle to me somewhere, My my blood uncle probably has it.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 2>So him and my dad were estranged one he died.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So, so tell me about where you're kind of at

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>in life right now? You are You told me at

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of this that you have homework, So you're

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>in school? Are you about to graduate?

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>M looking like graduating this December and then afterwards is

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>where the question kind of comes into play. Where I'll

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 2>be graduated? I don't really have any job lined up,

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>so I feel like if I'm going to make a

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>big change right now, that would be the time.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I actually, I totally totally agree with that as a

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>sentiment where it's like, if you are going to go

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 1>take a risk or do something fringy or unexpected, right

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>now is totally totally the time to do it, right

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>because when you have started and what do you what

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>are you trying to get a career in crop.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Stuff basically environmental policy?

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you know, look when you're when you're you know,

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>three years deep into your career, and you know, maybe

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you have a significant other of some kind and you're

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>really just are are kind of rooted down where you are.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're not going to want to go take

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>off and run to Irelands because there's gonna be a

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 1>lot more left behind. There's gonna be a lot to

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>leave behind. But at this point that you're in right now,

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>where you haven't started anything yet, you don't have any

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>real commitments. I don't know if you have money saved

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>up or anything like that, but now feels like the

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>time to do it. If you're going to go do

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>something like that, if you desire to do something like that,

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because you know, worst case scenario, if you know there

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>is no sustainable future for you in whatever fringe thing

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you decide to do, you can always come back and

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>get a crop job, a croppy job. That was stupid.

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>So can I have I do have to ask you this.

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I do have to ask you this. I love this idea.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great. It seems like you're very passionate

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>about it. And if it even interests you a moticum

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.359
<v Speaker 1>and you you know, cand afford a plane ticket whatever,

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>totally go and do it. Life is short. Why do

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to move there and stead? If if your

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>primary goal is to learn about your dad and connect

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>with all these people, do you do you feel like

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't just accomplish that in a a you know,

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>trip of a month or two or three, Why are

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you considering moving there?

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a good question, and it's something I'm still

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>like kind of moving over because I still have like

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 2>my mom and stepdad here and friends here. But what's

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of like pushing me to think about moving is

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>something my dad would always say when he's still alive,

0:07:55.400 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>or he would always mention how my uncle who I've

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>mentioned previously very well traveled man, lived in the abroad

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>for many months, lived in Germany for a year, all

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, and my dad never did that, despite loving

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the aspect of different countries, different places, different cultures, and

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>he said he always always regretted it. And I'm wondering

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 2>that if I don't take that chance right now, am

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I going to regret not just taking a trip, you know,

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>because you take a trip and you leave, you know,

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you people are just like, oh, she was nice. But

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>if I moved there for let's say, at least a year,

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>then I'm actually like instilling myself in the culture and

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>knowing just being a traveler.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, I I like that. That's a good explanation,

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and that actually does make a lot of sense to

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>be like, no, I'm going to actually, you know, really

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>try to to to live in a place, and why

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that would be different from just you know, a trip

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of months. That makes a lot of sense.

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Bridget I think you should do it. I love shit

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>like this, I really do. I really do believe that

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>life is short and that if you want to have

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a career in environmental policy, I think that you know,

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you got your degree and you know, the job prospects

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>are not going anywhere if you want to spend this

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>year in Ireland, and I think I think you should

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>do it now. If you're going to do it right,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>like you you can always start your career afterwards. Who

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>fucking knows. Maybe something happens in Ireland that you're like, oh,

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to do environmental policy. Maybe I

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>want to do this or go to this place. Maybe

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>you meet someone who's like, hey, I got this startup

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>going on in fucking Laos. You want to come, and

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you're like, okay, sure, and then you're in Laos and

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>then you meet the love of your life and then

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they break your heart. But then you meet someone else

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>who's even better, and then you go to fucking Japan.

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, I just just life is short.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You should do these things if you feel like you

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>want to do them. I'm fully in favor. Also, it's cool,

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>it's this is like a movie thing. To me. This

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 1>feels like it's a plot of a movie. You might

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>come out of this with a good screenplay and it

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>has a purpose too. Yeah, I like everything about this.

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I I I think you should do it. I'm I'm

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm in favor, and I'm not just saying that because

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm green and biased. Because of that, I've said too

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>many stupid things over the course of this call. But no,

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you should do it. I like

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the idea of taking your big risks early because it's

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you're You're never gonna be in a better position later

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>on in your career to do.

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 2>This kind of shit, right right, Yeah, Wow, that was

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>some solid advice.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Well have you been talking to your your mom about this?

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>What does she think?

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I've mentioned it to her. She's not not opposed, as

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>all moms are. She'd like me to stay close to home.

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just a little difficult of a topic in our

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>families because my parents had a very nasty doors, to

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>say the least, and it happened when I was like three,

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.319
<v Speaker 2>so I barely even remember it. But long story short,

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I can never remember them having a pleasant conversation. So

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like, it's not that she opposes Ireland, it's just

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the I guess relationship to my dad. But you know,

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>she's not saying don't go, but she's not like grinning

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>as a fact, H.

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I get why you want to stay close to your mom.

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And your stepdad and your friends. But you know, it's

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a difficult thing. You want to be close to your family,

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>but also you're aware that life is short and you

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>want to go out and live it. And you know,

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you should, and you know, go to Ireland,

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime your mom, you know, once a week at the

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>very minimum, and you know, I, yeah, I think you

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>should go for it.

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, thank you. I'll call in if I'm there

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>next year.

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything that you want to say to the

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go, Bridget.

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess your dad dies moved to Ireland.

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Solid advice. Thanks, take care.

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Too.

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I like, I liked her. She had first of all,

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like I said, great movie premise, great movie premise. I

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>who knows what kind of I cannot see the trailer

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for that movie in my head. The characters that she meets,

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>she'll piece together her father's story. It reminds me of

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>what's that movie? Extremely loud and incredibly close. Isn't that

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of what that movie was? Anyway? I liked I like.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I like that a lot. I think that's a great

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>life experience. And I I really, in my fucking core,

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that life is short. And that that

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>if if she is in a position to go and

0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>have this life experience, she really should. I mean, who,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>who the fuck knows what could happen as a result

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of her taking a chance. I'm inspired, I'm excited for her.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be cool. I think she's gonna

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>learn some stuff. I think she's gonna feel really connected

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to her father, connected to her family. And I'm glad

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to hear that her mother is not actively discouraging her

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>from it, because it seems to me that she holds

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>her mother's opinion in a solid regard. You know, she

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>wants to be close to her and the stepdad and

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the friends, and I hope she has the courage to

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. I think she should. Shall we shall? We

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>take phone calls? Hello, Hello, Hi, Hi, how are you?

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm good? How are you?

0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I am feeling I'm actually feeling uh really good. I'm

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling good. Uh. How are you feeling?

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm feeling good. I'm a little nervous about telling you

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 5>this story. It's funny, but.

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Listen, trust me, it's five minutes from now. I guarantee

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you are not going to feel nervous. What's uh, what's

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>going on with you. Jane, tell me, tell me everything.

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>We have no time for anything, but we only we

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>only have. Now what's going on, Jane, tell me the

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>tell me the thing.

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh nothing much. My husband and I we we like

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 5>to on his off not and so on his off notes,

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 5>we like to we'll smoke, you know, we'll smoke, maybe

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 5>pop a notable, you know, get a little, get a

0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 5>little uh jazz and this party I was just a

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 5>few nights ago. We were just having a grand all time,

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 5>getting into it, you know, and Uh, I could have

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 5>sworn I felt. Now let me purpose this by saying

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 5>we are not new to butt stuff but stuff. I mean,

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 5>let me just I mean, you say, we can say

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 5>anything on here right, Like that's the pab I opening

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 5>the porn hube, you know what I mean, Like like

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 5>that's that's the stuff that I like. So this isn't

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 5>new for me. But for some reason, I mean, I

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 5>guess maybe it was because I was I was stoned.

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, I could have sworn it was slipping out.

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 5>And so he's behind me going to town and I'm like, hey, bro,

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 5>can you like poke that in just a little bit.

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 5>I think it's about to slip out, and he does.

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 5>He does it, He does it, and then he doesn't

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 5>see it. He doesn't see it. It's gone. It's up

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 5>in my butthole. He pulled out.

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you talking you? Are you talking about his penis? No?

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.400
<v Speaker 5>No, I should have purposed that. I'm so sorry I have.

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Because because when you said his penis disappeared into your asshole,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's, first of all, would be terrifying. That

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 1>would be an awful trip to the hospital. If he

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 1>lost his penis so like a.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 5>Prosthetic penis and he just lost it, that'd be horrible.

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 5>But no, it was a vibrating butt plug. And I mean,

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.160
<v Speaker 5>I'll admit it was like I don't know, I don't

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 5>know if you, like are around anybody that baps regularly,

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 5>but I mean that's the size of like a like

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 5>a like a bigger, like a bigger size of bape.

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 5>But it was, you know, butt plug shaped, and it vibrated. Well,

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 5>there's a grand old time until it got lost. So

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 5>I sent him to the kitchen because he's freaking out.

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm high.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm laughing and crying at the same time. It was honestly,

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 5>it was kind of an amazing mix of emotions.

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 1>But he uh.

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 5>He goes in, he gets the kitchen gloves and he's like,

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 5>I can't.

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:22.400
<v Speaker 4>I can't feel it.

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 5>The whole time, shit's still vibrating. I'm like, we got

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 5>to go to the hospital. He's like, no, you gotta

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:29.719
<v Speaker 5>go to the hospital. Mind you, we have a two

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 5>year old. She's in bitter sleep. I'm like, I cannot.

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 5>I cannot go to the er in this condition and

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 5>explain to these people why I have a butt plug

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 5>stuck in my asshole. I can't do that. I was

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 5>crying still. I was like, I can't. It's just this

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 5>is ridiculous. It's humiliating. And he finally caved. He caved.

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 4>He went with me.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 5>He got the baby up, ain't got me in the car.

0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 5>We get in there, I walk in and there's I

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 5>just walked. Yeah, man, I can't leave a baby at

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 5>the house.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, look, that's perfect, perfect timing, right, because

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like the baby is just young enough that

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:20.719
<v Speaker 1>you will not remember any of this. It's perfect, perfect Okay,

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>so happen when you get to the hospital. I already

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>DoD why you know, people who look, I understand why

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>if you have a currently vibrating butt plug inside of

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.679
<v Speaker 1>your asshole. Why you would be embarrassed to, you know,

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>go get help for that. But these are medical experts

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about here. I mean, they've probably seen much worse.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 5>This is true, But I was not anticipating the security guard.

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 5>And the security guard had to let me into the

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 5>ere and she's like, Okay, where are you needing to

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 5>go to? Not I'm like, oh, the ere?

0:19:58.880 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 4>What brings you mean?

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:06.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm my bro, this is this is humiliating, but I

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 5>have something stuck in my butte. She tries to keep

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 5>a straight face and she couldn't and I was like, yeah,

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 5>she calls them. They called me back. It dies in

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 5>the middle of the intake question. I look over at

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.680
<v Speaker 5>my husband and I'm like, it died. The nurse lost

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 5>her shit, he lost his shit. I'm like, this is

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 5>not funny. Kind of is because it died at just

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 5>the best moment, because I think if it had a

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 5>still been vibrating when the doctor tried to get it out,

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 5>I would have legit di embarrassments.

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh the battery died.

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the battery died, mind you. This was this was

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 5>like thirty minutes later. It was sitting there, you know,

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 5>just doing this thing for about thirty minutes.

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the battery on the bluff, I feel

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>like the battery on a butt plug. It doesn't really

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>need to last longer than thirty minutes, does it.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I feel like it doesn't. I feel like

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't even need to last that long.

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 1>That well, So Jane, you know, look, I'm glad that you, uh,

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that you shared this story with us. I hope that

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it was cathartic for you. And I want to know,

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>did you did you learn anything from this experience that

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you can take with your own maneuver through the universe.

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Get bigger butt plugs.

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 5>That yeah, no, not bigger necessarily the ones with the

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 5>little rings at the end that you can pull out.

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.400
<v Speaker 5>They won't just like yeah, smart oh did this give

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 5>you anything?

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did this give you any sort of a

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>like adversion to butt stuff in the future, like butt

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>PTSD of like I don't want things near my ass

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>because then they'll get stuck in there type of thing.

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Or were you or did you guys have butt sex

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that night?

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 5>No, we didn't. We didn't. I mean, it's not like

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 5>an aversion like I had to like genuinely. It was

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 5>kind of like a birthing experience. I've never birthed a child,

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 5>but I would say that that that has to feel

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 5>very similar what I was doing in there.

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>And so.

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean, I just I still enjoy it. I

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 5>still like we Obviously we didn't get to finish that

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 5>night because we had to go to the e R.

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 5>So I mean the next night I was back at

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 5>it again on the porn hood no aversion. I do

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 5>it again, honestly, just not with that specific boot clog.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Wait, is is your daughter adopted?

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was.

0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I like the idea. I like the idea. I like

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the idea that you reveal to your daughter that, uh,

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>she's adopted by telling like, by telling them that story.

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 5>She would be mortified. I mean, if she's anything like me,

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 5>she's just probably gonna laugh.

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:20.639
<v Speaker 1>But You're like, the plage got sucked up into me

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and then I had to birth it out, which you know,

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 1>felt weird because I've never birthed anything before. Oh, by

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the way, you're adopted, that.

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 5>Would be great. That would be a terrific way. Yeah,

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 5>I'll take it under.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It bot Uh, Jane, is there anything else you want

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to say to the people the computer before we go.

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 5>No, just everybody stay conned, be kind. Everybody needs kind words.

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello? Who is this?

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 4>This is Cam?

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 1>What's up? Cam? How's a gun?

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm chilling?

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you? How do you chill? What do you?

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 1>What do you do to chill?

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 4>I lay in bed in the dark and stare at

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:17.480
<v Speaker 4>my phone.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>You lay in bed at the dark and stare at

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>your phone. That actually does sound pretty chill.

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm a professional?

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you in the dark right now?

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 4>My curtains are cracked because there's a really pretty sunset.

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 4>But other than that, Yeah, So.

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Cam, what's going on with you?

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Is there?

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Is there a thing you called in to talk about?

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:57.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? So I'm going on trips in exactly sixty four days,

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 4>five hours or five minutes. I have a countdown with

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 4>some friends that I met online and we've been friends

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 4>for like a couple of years, and we were just like,

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 4>let's do it.

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 5>Looks meet up.

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 4>But I haven't in like two years. I haven't hung

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.679
<v Speaker 4>out with anybody but family in person. So I'm a

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 4>little nervous that you know I'm gonna get there and

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna be like, wow, this proves really weird because

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 4>I am very awkward and clumsy.

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:29.399
<v Speaker 3>M hm.

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask why you haven't hang out with anyone

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 1>except for your family in the past two years.

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of isolated out here. Before I moved out

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 4>from in Nevada with my fam. But before that, I

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:50.880
<v Speaker 4>lived in New York and I lived in an update

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 4>and I was I lived at roommates, and I had

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 4>friends and we could go out and do stuff and

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.360
<v Speaker 4>that kind of and did madly. So I came back

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 4>to you with my family, and it's way more isolated

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 4>out here. And I'm kind of antisocial anyway, like I

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 4>have to.

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>It takes it takes some.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.919
<v Speaker 4>Time for me to go like, okay, let's go like

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:16.880
<v Speaker 4>to be social.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you are you anti? Are you antisocial by choice?

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Like you just prefer having alone time and and or

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 1>or is it a mainly just because of a difficulty

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>meeting people and summoning the energy to do that.

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a little bit of both. I like

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 4>my alone time. I don't mind being alone, Like I'm

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 4>not sad that I'm alone all the time, but I

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, I do have fun when I'm out with friends.

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 4>It's just like, if it's easier to be alone, I

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 4>guess it's convenient.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Hm, it is. It is a lot more canvenient, unquestionably

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 1>to sit in your room on your phone in the

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>dark as much as you possibly can, as opposed to

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>going out into the universe undeniably more convenient one hundred

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time.

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh, So you're going on a trip with these friends.

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 1>How many of you guys are there?

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Five?

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:28.680
<v Speaker 3>Five?

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 4>How did you meet them fortnight?

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Cam? You know, I know that you're nervous, but I

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:41.400
<v Speaker 1>think and do any of them? Do any of them

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>know each other? Or none of you guys have met

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>any of each other before?

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Not none of us isn't in person. But one person

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 4>is in California, so what's not even six hours for me?

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 4>And two people are in Florida, which is where we're going.

0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 4>So we're all like not all that, we're like kind

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 4>of cloth already, some of us.

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for you, Cam. I know that you have

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:14.439
<v Speaker 1>these these fears that people are going to judge you

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason. I first of all guarantee that that

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 1>will not happen. I think it is a high probability

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that your internet friends are likely thinking the same thing themselves.

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a weird, you know, freshman year of

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 1>high school or college thing where everyone is going into it,

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>uh nervous and a little worried, but also excited and

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>ready to to make connections. I'm excited for you. I

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>also think, you know, if you haven't been interacting with

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 1>people socially for two years, it makes perfect sense why

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 1>it would scare you. But like I said, I'm excited

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>for you. I think it's good to be nervous. I'm

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 1>learning that a lot more now. I think it's good

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to be nervous because it means it means that you

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>have something that is about to challenge you in some way.

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, you said that you're you stay on your

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually I think it's I think it's great that

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you're doing this, because you said that you've been spending

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the past two years on your phone in the dark,

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and you could have said no. You could have well,

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you could have said no. You could have been like,

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm too nervous, I don't want to do it. But

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you were really you noticed, you were really I'm sure

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you were really nervous when you got the invitation, but

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you didn't let that stop you. You said, yes, I'll

0:29:57.240 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>go out and I'll do it. And I'm proud of

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>for doing that. It takes a lot to go against

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>your central nervous system and dive headfirst into a new

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 1>experience and to take active efforts against the convenient lifestyle

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you've been living in the hopes that you'll have an

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:22.240
<v Speaker 1>experience that will improve your life in some way. That

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>takes a lot to do. I'm glad you're doing it.

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You will probably be nervous for the rest of the

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>sixty four days because the central nervous system cannot be

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>reasoned with. It can only be beat by action. That's

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>what I've learned as my own personal experience with my

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 1>own central nervous system that I've been having a complicated

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>relationship with over the past few years. But here's the thing.

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 1>You will go on this trip. You will face your

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>fears and meet these people. You will have a great time,

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and afterwards you will have had an experience where you

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>were nervous to do something, did it, realized there was

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>nothing to be nervous about, and then next time you're

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>facing a situation that makes you nervous, you will have

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>first hand evidence that your nerves are not telling you

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a truthful story, and that will help you deal with

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 1>them a little bit better. And then you'll face that,

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you'll encounter another situation that makes you nervous,

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and then you'll have two sets of firsthand evidence that

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:40.959
<v Speaker 1>your nerves are lying to you. And then you keep

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and you keep doing that, and then eventually

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you just get better at facing your fears. I like that,

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>What are you guys going to do in Florida? Are

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you going to bush Gardens?

0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we're probably gonna go to bush Gardens and do

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 4>like a tour But you're actually I just I just

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 4>said a random thing.

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>You're actually going to bush gardens.

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's like a tourism past and it includes Busch Gardens,

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 4>So I mean, why not?

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Ah, man, Cam, You're gonna have a good ass time, Dude,

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you got nothing to worry about.

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Like, I'm not just anxious, But I don't know. It

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 4>just kind of hit me the other day and I

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 4>was like, Wow, it's been a while.

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Anxiety is a form of excitement. I think. I don't know.

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't. That comes from absolutely no information whatsoever except

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>personal anecdote. I think it's like anticipation, right, That's what

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the end is, an anxiety anticipation. Again, no information. But okam,

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 1>is there anything else you want to say to the

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:52.719
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go?

0:32:55.920 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 4>No, but thanks for being you because you're awesome and

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 4>you make life fun.

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask you one more thing? If do you believe?

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And I guess you won't know this until you're actually there,

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but do you think that if this goes well for

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you and you do have fun, would you consider when

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you return home seeking out more situations where you can

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>put yourself out there to make friends.

0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 4>I've been thinking about it, you know.

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Not.

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, obviously I can't get into my whole life story,

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 4>but I haven't had a lot of opportunities to do

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 4>things for me, just like because I think I would

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 4>have fun doing them. So in planning this trip and

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 4>like buying a plane tickets and like finding somewhere to stay,

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 4>just like doing it together as a group, I've just

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of been thinking on about like what I want

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 4>to do, like just for me to have fun, even

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 4>if it is scary. So I definitely think if I

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 4>go or when I go, obviously I'm going, I paid money,

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:18.479
<v Speaker 4>but look after I definitely think that if it goes

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 4>well and stuff that I want to do more beautiful,

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 4>which is more scary?

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, you know, well you know everything I said

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you you'll you face your fears once and then it

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>becomes easier the second time and so on. So you know, again,

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 1>good on you for taking the steps to uh do

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:47.839
<v Speaker 1>something even if you're nervous to do it. Yeah's too short,

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks for calling kem by Lyle. Okay, let's see. How

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 1>can I make this about me? Yes, I will talk

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 1>about my live tour again. One of the things I

0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>really learned doing these shows is is that process that

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I and you know, whatever doing show is going to

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>meet friends. Is any fucking thing that it is that

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 1>could raise your fucking blood pressure and cause you to

0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>get all squirmy, is really just that process of like

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:31.680
<v Speaker 1>learning to jump forward and it just watching it get

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:38.319
<v Speaker 1>easier and easier every time you do it. And that's

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.480
<v Speaker 1>something I'm trying to like for myself. Just I'm trying

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to like exposure therapy myself out out of nerves, whatever

0:35:46.440 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 1>those nerves may be. Because I think I think the

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not a fucking doctor or a scientist,

0:35:55.600 --> 0:36:05.319
<v Speaker 1>but I think you're adrenaline stuff can only raise so

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:08.240
<v Speaker 1>much that it just gets tired, and then you become

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:11.240
<v Speaker 1>numb to your nervousness, and then you can just do stuff.

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>But like I've said multiple times, I have no idea

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about. Next caller, Hello, Hello, is this

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the gek? This is the gek?

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:29.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh? My god, my days? The maid?

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Man? Huh? Not a whole lot. I called to talk

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 3>about backyard wrestling.

0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>You called to talk about backyard wrestling, Yes, sir, uh yeah, man.

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It says here that you are a backyard wrestler for

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a local backyard wrestling federation. Is this what you do

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:01.800
<v Speaker 1>for a living? You're a backyard wrestler?

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I do.

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 1>How did you get into that?

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 3>It started when I was about sixteen. I was a

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 3>big wrestling not as most people usually are, and I

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.200
<v Speaker 3>ended up hanging out with friends who also like wrestling.

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 3>We just started wrestling around on a trampline Casually. Over

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:25.360
<v Speaker 3>the years, I kind of just leveled up from that.

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I went and wrestled on like mattresses and stuff after

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 3>getting out of the trampline thing. And now I'm in

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 3>a ring, so still not a full trained professional, but

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 3>it's fun. It's a good hobby.

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, when you were wrestling around with your friends, did

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you ever get into a situation where someone got like

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 1>seriously fucked up.

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's been a few of them. Not in the

0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:55.439
<v Speaker 3>group i'm in now. Our group's pretty safe, but I've

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:57.240
<v Speaker 3>seen some things, that's for sure.

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anything you want to talk about a few of them. Yeah,

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm down to where.

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Probably the scariest one I've heard, which ironically got me

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 3>into a really crazy match. But this guy was wrestling

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 3>another guy. He had a chair, you know, typical wrestling.

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Hit a guy with a chair, right, and the guy

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:20.440
<v Speaker 3>ended up not protecting his head when he got hit

0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 3>with the chair and part of the chair was broken

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.760
<v Speaker 3>off and nobody knew about it and slashed his head

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:28.880
<v Speaker 3>like big time. He had to have like multiple staples,

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.600
<v Speaker 3>couldn't wrestle for a very long time. It was. It

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 3>was some scary stuff.

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:36.680
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty gnarly. But wait, so how did that get

0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>you involved in a match?

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:43.320
<v Speaker 3>So the day after the guy who wanted to wrestle

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 3>that guy because he couldn't wrestle. He saw I was

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 3>doing some crazy stuff and he was like, hey, I

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 3>want to wrestle you. So I kind of got his

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 3>misfortunate end up being my gain. As bad as that sounds,

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:58.720
<v Speaker 3>but it was also the craziest match in my life.

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:01.360
<v Speaker 3>We had. We had like a table, fladers and chairs

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:04.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of match, and this guy didn't really fly off latterers.

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:05.880
<v Speaker 3>He jumped out of a giant tree at me.

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, did that's scary? He was jumping out of

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a giant tree.

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I was scared of was me and the guys that

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 3>were not going to be able to catch them. That

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:19.880
<v Speaker 3>was the scariest part because like he had to have

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 3>been like a good twenty feet up and I'm thankful

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 3>we all caught him and no one was hurt. But

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I was like, you're nuts. I'll take the move, but

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 3>as long as I have some help catching you, because

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't trust myself catching you. Tell me I have

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 3>a tree maybe twenty feet in the area.

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:37.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, So you've been doing this since you were sixteen,

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:41.799
<v Speaker 1>and says you're thirty two now, so it's been about Yeah,

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>it's been about sixteen years. It's been half your life

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:47.919
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years. So how has your relationship with this thing

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 1>evolved over the past sixteen years? Like you know, is

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:56.240
<v Speaker 1>there is a passion for it all, past Or waned

0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Or tell me how it's evolved.

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.880
<v Speaker 3>It's a actually been a wild roller coaster. So sixteen,

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 3>like I said, just starting liking it eventually became something

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I became fascinated and fell in love with. After I

0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 3>graduated high school, my group was starting to wind down

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:17.879
<v Speaker 3>and people were losing interest. So, like a typical thing

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:21.839
<v Speaker 3>in the late two thousands, Messenger forums right back then,

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 3>and there was one specifically for backyard wrestlers called GBYWN

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 3>and I ended up going on there meeting some people.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 3>And that's actually how I ended up going to that group.

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't even my own group. It was in Indiana.

0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I ended up traveling a couple of states down to

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:46.399
<v Speaker 3>head there. So I ended hanging out.

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh I keep going, keep going?

0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh sorry, So I started traveling and just meeting other

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 3>backyard wrestlers while my group was not around. She became

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 3>more and more fascinated by it. As the years went on,

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 3>I've calmed down a lot. I don't have people flying

0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:07.439
<v Speaker 3>out of trees or anything at me anymore. Like we've

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:11.200
<v Speaker 3>we've gotten smarter over the years, of course, but wrestling

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.680
<v Speaker 3>in general kind of saved my life in many ways,

0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:17.719
<v Speaker 3>as weird as that sounds, I depressed kid, just didn't

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 3>have anything going for me, and then all of a

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 3>sudden I found friends and we liked wrestling and just

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:27.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of evolved from there. And then once they left it,

0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I always found a way to like bring wrestling into

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:31.560
<v Speaker 3>helping me through my mental struggles.

0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, to this day a lot with your mental struggles.

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's kind of like I guess therapy, you know,

0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:44.399
<v Speaker 3>in a way. It's a weird way to say it,

0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:48.919
<v Speaker 3>but it's kind of like it kind of just gets

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:50.840
<v Speaker 3>me out of my zone and makes me feel like

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Superman sometimes. I don't know, m.

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Do you have Are you in a relationship at all?

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.000
<v Speaker 3>I am not. I'm single, Okay?

0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Have you had any relationships the past?

0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:16.400
<v Speaker 3>A few toxic ones just didn't work out mostly, I

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I'm kind of a bigger guy, so like

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not the best looking person on earth.

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I have to ask, do you meet like like these

0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 1>these toxic exes? Did you meet them through wrestling or

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 1>through other means.

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Other means, but I don't know, like they always supported

0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:41.760
<v Speaker 3>what I did. It's just things didn't work out pretty

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:46.839
<v Speaker 3>much every time, and then they just kind of, uh

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 3>pretty much just dumped on me because I'm two nights

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 3>of a guy. Mm hm, Like they just took advantage

0:42:52.520 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 3>of me and stuff. So it's like, uh, relationships aren't

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 3>really my thing. Wrestling is kind of what got me

0:42:57.520 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 3>through at all. Mm hmmm.

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh So moving forward, I mean, you've been doing this

0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:04.759
<v Speaker 1>for half your life. Uh, I mean for the rest

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of your life? Do you do you plan on? Uh?

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you see yourself wrestling?

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm hoping to continue for another couple of years for you.

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm on a really good run with my local group.

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I ended up finding some guys and we got we

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:21.160
<v Speaker 3>ended up purchasing a ring and we have a ring

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 3>in my friend's yard and that's what we're doing now.

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 3>And I want to at least keep going on as

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 3>long as i can on it because I'm really enjoying

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 3>what I'm doing currently at this time.

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So I have another question to me, you know, I

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 1>have another question. Uh, you know, I feel like there

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 1>is sort of a double edged sword to build your

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>life if I'm getting an accurate picture of you. Uh,

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 1>it can be like a double edged sword to build

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:56.319
<v Speaker 1>your life around one thing, you know, because.

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 3>It's very self destructive in a way.

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tell me about that.

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Hobbies and stuff.

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Mhm, tell me about that. How how is it as

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:09.239
<v Speaker 1>a negatively affected you at all to build your life

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 1>solely around wrestling.

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Not necessarily, Like I have other hobbies, but that's like

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:20.239
<v Speaker 3>the big like part of me that it's like the

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 3>dominant part of me, you know.

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm.

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Like I play Magic of the Gathering. I have a

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:28.839
<v Speaker 3>group of friends who play magic. I I work quite

0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 3>working at a taco bell met a lot of friends there,

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:34.719
<v Speaker 3>so like I'm a very social person, but like I

0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 3>just never find anyone good for me, you know, in

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 3>terms of relationships and stuff.

0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm, Is there anything?

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Probably is there anything in your your like to sort

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of keep you moving forward. I feel like it's important

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to have these, uh goals or things you want that

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of help you, you know, figure out what your

0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:58.520
<v Speaker 1>next moves are going to be. Would you say that

0:44:58.600 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 1>you have any like goals for the future that you're

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 1>aiming for insider outside of wrestlem.

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean outside. I'm hoping to eventually set on

0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 3>my role a little bit within the next couple of

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:17.959
<v Speaker 3>years and hopefully find someone by then and just kind

0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:20.319
<v Speaker 3>of figure things out from there.

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Uh So you said you're gonna do this for about

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 1>two years. What would you what would your life look

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like should you retire from wrestling, Like, what else would

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to do?

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, that was the hard part because I've already done

0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 3>it twice and then it just kind of find find

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 3>it finds its way back to me. So like I've

0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.400
<v Speaker 3>already like said, all right, I need to stop, and

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:50.280
<v Speaker 3>then I just start feeling better, get the catch come back. Yeah,

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:52.080
<v Speaker 3>but I know I'm not going to be going more

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:53.840
<v Speaker 3>than two or three years because I don't think my

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 3>body could take it. So I've been slowly trying to

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.279
<v Speaker 3>figure out what's the next move, and it's not going

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 3>to be there for me all the time anymore. You know.

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Have you come to any conclusions or leaned towards any

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:10.839
<v Speaker 1>ideas of what that might be?

0:46:13.640 --> 0:46:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Not one hundred percent sure I have. Like, honestly, it's

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.000
<v Speaker 3>just kind of recently become a thought in my mind.

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 3>And that's actually really good. You brought that up, because

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 3>that's something I've never really addressed, even to myself yet.

0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I haven't think I'm kind of avoiding that idea.

0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is it? Is it a scary thing for you?

0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Kind of? I am on the autism spectrum, so anxiety

0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:43.839
<v Speaker 3>is definitely a weakness of mine. So it's it's kind

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:46.520
<v Speaker 3>of hard to like, you know, I don't really know

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 3>how to explain it.

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Is this something you've been avoiding.

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 3>A little bit? I would say I would say I've

0:46:56.760 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 3>been avoiding or buying time sleep probably be a bit

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:04.719
<v Speaker 3>better word for it. I'm installing, Yeah, you.

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Know, I don't.

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:05.839
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I hope I don't sound like I'm asking,

0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:11.279
<v Speaker 1>like leading questions to make this seem like a bad thing,

0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:15.799
<v Speaker 1>because I actually think think the opposite. I think you

0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:19.839
<v Speaker 1>know what you seem you know, I don't know you,

0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 1>but you seem like you're very happy with where you

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>are in your life. And that's probably as a result

0:47:26.440 --> 0:47:31.239
<v Speaker 1>of you not thinking so crazy hard about what you're

0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.239
<v Speaker 1>going to do when wrestling ends, or you know, what

0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:36.320
<v Speaker 1>life is going to look like later down the line,

0:47:36.480 --> 0:47:38.839
<v Speaker 1>or how you are going to somehow you know, I mean,

0:47:38.880 --> 0:47:40.879
<v Speaker 1>all these questions I'm asking you, you know, how you're going

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to you know, complete whatever is incomplete about your your life.

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like a lot of the happiness that I'm hearing,

0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, out of you comes from just fucking being

0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 1>in the moment, doing the wrestling and living your life.

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 3>You know. I tend to have a bad habbit of

0:47:59.040 --> 0:48:00.719
<v Speaker 3>I have a bad habit of saying here for a

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 3>good time, not a long time. But I should definitely

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:04.920
<v Speaker 3>be thinking the opposite too.

0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But I mean the way that I'm trying to

0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 1>phrase it is like it it doesn't sound like it's

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:12.239
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing. It sounds like it's a source of

0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of joy for it that you're you're you're

0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 1>here for their time.

0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:20.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's kind of what I live for. Life's too short,

0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:21.279
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree with that. I think you're doing it right.

0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate that, geck.

0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:31.200

0:48:40.239 --> 0:48:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Let's here? Yeah? What's the channel?

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:45.440

<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Have a great night.

0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I had an interesting perspective. I felt like I

0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:22.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe I was asking leading questions. I ask questions like that,

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>not hoping to get an answer, but sort of with

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:27.399
<v Speaker 1>a genuine curiosity about it.

0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's a guy who lives his life in

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the days of his life, not stressing out about the

0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 1>overall portrait that he's painting across years and years, just

0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking hanging out and wrestling and being with friends and

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I kept sort of asking, like, you know,

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:56.759
<v Speaker 1>is there anything beyond that that you want? And the

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 1>answer kept I I hope I was listening correctly, but

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the answer kept kind of being like, you know, hey,

0:50:03.520 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not thinking so much about, oh I need to

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 1>find a wife. I'm not thinking so much about oh

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:11.120
<v Speaker 1>what am I gonna do when wrestling ends? Because he's

0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoying the moment and he kind of started at the

0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:18.560
<v Speaker 1>end thinking of that as a bad thing. But I

0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:21.839
<v Speaker 1>think that's a good thing, because I mean, this is dark,

0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 1>but way you know, Fuck, we never know how much

0:50:23.719 --> 0:50:26.200
<v Speaker 1>time we're gonna have. We don't know we're gonna be

0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:27.959
<v Speaker 1>around in five years. We don't know what the fuck

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:30.719
<v Speaker 1>could happen. They go, I mean, this guy's living in

0:50:30.760 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the moment, and uh, if you live in the moment

0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:39.319
<v Speaker 1>for eighty years, that's a good life. So shout out

0:50:39.360 --> 0:50:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to him. Hey, folks, it's Lyle here, ending the podcast

0:50:45.680 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been on the road doing live shows, and in

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:53.239

<v Speaker 1>in several podcasts in the future with an excerpt from

0:51:02.040 --> 0:51:06.960
<v Speaker 1>those street interviews. So here is one from outside the

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:12.200

<v Speaker 1>Are you aware that you're I'm just gonna say, your

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:41.360
<v Speaker 1>voice does not match?

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:44.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, I get that a lot. Yeah. People think

0:51:44.600 --> 0:51:45.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm like thirty years old or something like that.

0:51:46.040 --> 0:51:46.719
<v Speaker 1>How old are you?

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Three?

0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Twenty three? Yeah, you're like the voice of your Every

0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 1>different part of you is a new age.

0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:57.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I know, I know. Can you guess what I

0:51:57.880 --> 0:51:58.399
<v Speaker 6>did in the army?

0:51:59.560 --> 0:52:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Hell? Optors? Give me one more fucking rocket launchers? Tanks?

0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:52:06.920 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 6>I was too tall for him, So there's a high

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:10.440
<v Speaker 6>limit for tanks.

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:15.440
<v Speaker 1>What okay, what sort of life analogies have you learned

0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:16.760
<v Speaker 1>from operating tanks?

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:17.400
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Like a tank? How in what way is a tank

0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like life?

0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

0:52:22.600 --> 0:52:25.279
<v Speaker 1>How is a tank like a relationship? How is the

0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:27.000
<v Speaker 1>tank like running a business?

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:29.960
<v Speaker 6>So there's four people in the tank?

0:52:30.120 --> 0:52:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for the United States?

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:34.840
<v Speaker 6>And uh, it's all about teamwork. So you learn a

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 6>lot about teamwork because if your driver ain't doing something,

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 6>you can't move, your gunner are not doing something, You

0:52:40.440 --> 0:52:43.439
<v Speaker 6>can't hit anything, loader can't not doing his job.

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, So, uh, what position were you in the tank?

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Are you doing?

0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:50.120
<v Speaker 6>I was a start off as driver, a loader, then

0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:51.640
<v Speaker 6>I moved up to gunner, and then I finished off

0:52:51.640 --> 0:52:52.680
<v Speaker 6>his tank commander.

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Takes a tank commander. And what did you learn about

0:52:55.840 --> 0:52:59.560
<v Speaker 1>like commanding people? How do you get people to respond

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to you if they were like on their phone playing

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:03.280
<v Speaker 1>tetris when they should be.

0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:08.760
<v Speaker 6>Respect and they'll respect you because I feel like a

0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:12.120
<v Speaker 6>shitty leader. Excuse me language and all, but uh, I

0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:14.440
<v Speaker 6>was going to respect you, and they're not going to

0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 6>do what you say. But if you show that you

0:53:16.120 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 6>want to work with them and you respect them and

0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:20.800
<v Speaker 6>what they do and you listen to them, they'll follow you.

0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere have you ever been, I mean being in the army.

0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You before you became a leader, you were under the

0:53:27.560 --> 0:53:31.200
<v Speaker 1>command of a lot of different leaders. What from your

0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:34.560
<v Speaker 1>experience would you say, Uh, is the difference between a

0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>good leader and a bad leader?

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.120
<v Speaker 6>So I had both. I had bad leaders and I

0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:38.680
<v Speaker 6>had good leaders.

0:53:38.719 --> 0:53:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what were the bad leaders like? You know, you

0:53:41.640 --> 0:53:42.720
<v Speaker 1>don't have to give any names.

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, so this is one dude, I be in

0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:48.799
<v Speaker 6>a game of checkers. Was my sergeant and he was

0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:50.120
<v Speaker 6>like you being in a game of checkers. I was like,

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:52.359
<v Speaker 6>hell yeah, I did. He smoked me right there push

0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:54.560
<v Speaker 6>ups and stuff. Yeah, and then he was like you sure.

0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:56.319
<v Speaker 6>I was like hell yeah. Because I fooled a lot,

0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:57.240
<v Speaker 6>I had to do it anyway.

0:53:57.400 --> 0:53:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:53:57.800 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 6>So I just didn't like to style leadership. And then

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:04.520
<v Speaker 6>I had other leaders that call check upon me on

0:54:04.600 --> 0:54:06.279
<v Speaker 6>the weekends and stuff like, hey, how you doing. You

0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:09.440
<v Speaker 6>need anything? Just my number. Hey, I'm it's gonna be

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:10.920
<v Speaker 6>like one hundred miles away, but if you need anything,

0:54:11.000 --> 0:54:13.799
<v Speaker 6>just call me. And I took that and I was like, damn,

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:16.560
<v Speaker 6>that's a really good way to like lead, and I

0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 6>made that in my leadship style.

0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:20.200
<v Speaker 1>So you it sounds like you lead with a lot

0:54:20.200 --> 0:54:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of kindness. Yeah, what's your line between Like there's there's

0:54:25.640 --> 0:54:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a problem. I feel like leaders run into where you

0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:29.759
<v Speaker 1>want to be kind, you want to be benevolent, but

0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:33.279
<v Speaker 1>you also have to fucking lay down the law when

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:35.879
<v Speaker 1>it comes time. Is that something you you are good

0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:36.239
<v Speaker 1>at doing?

0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:39.480
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely? So there's a there's alignment team working play, like

0:54:39.640 --> 0:54:42.080
<v Speaker 6>when does joke? Ran went on to sure, and I

0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:45.440
<v Speaker 6>try to like shout out with the guys. That's like

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:50.000
<v Speaker 6>under me and I really haven't had any problems. I mean,

0:54:50.040 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 6>if there is, we try we like to try to

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:55.120
<v Speaker 6>solve it on a lowest level, because the further up

0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:57.399
<v Speaker 6>it gets, the more people that know it's just pay

0:54:57.480 --> 0:54:58.000
<v Speaker 6>the ass.

0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:01.279
<v Speaker 1>How about this six year old version interview react If

0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:06.480
<v Speaker 1>he saw you commanding a tank.

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:10.600
<v Speaker 6>He probably stooped. They'd be like, holy ship, dude, Yeah.

0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Where do you, like, like, have you driven this tank

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on like an active battlefield before?

0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:18.840
<v Speaker 6>No, So with the would like I was in California

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:21.160
<v Speaker 6>with the training. There's a giant training area out there,

0:55:21.640 --> 0:55:24.760
<v Speaker 6>and we train on different armies. I worked with the Japanese,

0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:27.760
<v Speaker 6>the British, the Canadians, the French, to Germans, South Koreans,

0:55:28.239 --> 0:55:32.200
<v Speaker 6>countries from all over. And but we do we do

0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:36.000
<v Speaker 6>war games games. Yeah yeah, So basically it's like it's

0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:37.279
<v Speaker 6>a giant game of laser tag.

0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:42.319
<v Speaker 1>So that so instead of giants, uh fucking rockets, the

0:55:42.360 --> 0:55:43.440
<v Speaker 1>tank shoots lasers.

0:55:43.480 --> 0:55:44.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and it's like it and then we have like

0:55:44.960 --> 0:55:46.879
<v Speaker 6>systems to say, oh, you're dead, and and we also

0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:52.279
<v Speaker 6>shoot blanks and stuff and all like simulated rockets. But yeah,

0:55:52.360 --> 0:55:53.239
<v Speaker 6>that's it's a really cool.

0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:57.480
<v Speaker 1>That's so interesting. Man, So are you in a position

0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.640
<v Speaker 1>where like if if I have no idea the military works,

0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:06.880
<v Speaker 1>if shit goes down in some place that we and

0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we're at war, like, are you you gotta go over

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:12.319
<v Speaker 1>there and bring that? How do you Where is this

0:56:12.360 --> 0:56:13.080
<v Speaker 1>tank right now?

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:17.400
<v Speaker 6>Or mine? Yeah? I jumped tanks. My last tank was

0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 6>in for Irwin, California.

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:20.320
<v Speaker 1>It's in California.

0:56:20.160 --> 0:56:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Yea.

0:56:20.520 --> 0:56:23.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's what is confusing me is, let's say there's

0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a war in Let's say we go to war with France.

0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:32.319
<v Speaker 1>How are you going to get the tank over there?

0:56:32.320 --> 0:56:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Tanks already over there?

0:56:33.600 --> 0:56:34.759
<v Speaker 1>You have tanks everywhere?

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:38.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so? Or the US military, we have tanks everywhere.

0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:40.759
<v Speaker 6>There's bases everywhere, so I have, like I have the

0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 6>opportunity be stationed anywhere in the world basically.

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Really, so there's a tank. You know you got tanks

0:56:45.920 --> 0:56:47.759
<v Speaker 1>in Alaska.

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:49.960
<v Speaker 6>We don't have tanks over there anymore, there's.

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 1>No if there's an Alaskan war.

0:56:52.440 --> 0:56:53.479
<v Speaker 6>They put me on a gun truck.

0:56:54.320 --> 0:56:56.600
<v Speaker 1>There is a gun truck. Sounds like another name for

0:56:56.640 --> 0:56:57.040
<v Speaker 1>a tank.

0:56:57.360 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 6>No, no, it's not. There's only one time of tank.

0:56:59.160 --> 0:56:59.760
<v Speaker 6>That's the abrams.

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is a gun truck? Kind of like you're sitting

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:04.520
<v Speaker 1>in the back of a pickup truck and you have

0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a gun. Yeah, I said, this just a truck.

0:57:07.040 --> 0:57:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, what they call a gun truck aus there's a.

0:57:09.080 --> 0:57:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Gun gunman in there.

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 6>Kay, makes sense.

0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:13.320
<v Speaker 1>What made you want to get into all this stuff

0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first place?

0:57:15.239 --> 0:57:18.480
<v Speaker 6>Joined out a high school, travel see the world and

0:57:18.520 --> 0:57:19.200
<v Speaker 6>it worked out for you.

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:57:19.600 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 6>Because I'm from a small farm town. Okay, it happens

0:57:22.360 --> 0:57:23.600
<v Speaker 6>population like fifteen.

0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, So I would be honest, you know, I feel like,

0:57:25.960 --> 0:57:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what you're what you see out there,

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:32.360
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like the public perception of joining the

0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:35.960
<v Speaker 1>military is split back and forth. And I've talked to

0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:39.960
<v Speaker 1>people who they joined the military and they kind of

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:41.840
<v Speaker 1>regret it. I have to talk to people like you,

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:44.080
<v Speaker 1>seems like it's done great things for you. What's your

0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:48.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of like take on that, Like should people join

0:57:48.280 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the military at a high school or is there like

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a certain kind of person that that would be.

0:57:52.240 --> 0:57:54.560
<v Speaker 6>Good for Everyone has their different views.

0:57:54.640 --> 0:57:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:58.520
<v Speaker 6>I've had soldiers who got out the army because like

0:57:58.600 --> 0:57:59.960
<v Speaker 6>I was like, oh, I'll try, it is not for

0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:02.360
<v Speaker 6>me though, And they got out and thenyone, they're living

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:04.400
<v Speaker 6>a better life. And some guys are like, oh man,

0:58:04.400 --> 0:58:07.600
<v Speaker 6>that's all I got, just going that. My experience has

0:58:07.600 --> 0:58:11.000
<v Speaker 6>been good. The Armies paid for my entire Batcher's degree.

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:12.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm about to start my master's and they're going to

0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 6>pay for that too. I've got job experience. Uh met

0:58:20.680 --> 0:58:22.960
