Speaker 1: All from Daniel.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 1: While?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's who? Dis?
Speaker 1: No way?
Speaker 2: This is Daniel new phone? Who dis you know that
Speaker 2: I do? I have heard that this is Daniel.
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah, I didn't even get a call screen. Or
Speaker 1: is that new?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 2: Have we spoken before, Daniel?
Speaker 1: We have not.
Speaker 2: Oh, well, what's up?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you wanted to talk about or
Speaker 2: you just want to free ball it. I'm down to
Speaker 2: free ball it, but I'm also doing to talk about stuff.
Speaker 1: I've called you thousands and thousands of times, and this
Speaker 1: is the first time I've gotten thirty. And that's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's that's sweet, man. I got in those thousands and
Speaker 2: thousands of times you've called me, like I have to
Speaker 2: imagine I have to imagine you called a thousand times
Speaker 2: for you had something in mind that was just such
Speaker 2: a ruminating thought on your mind you had to I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it changes like every day when I call you.
Speaker 1: Like when I first started calling you early twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: I was playing No Man Sky and I always wanted
Speaker 1: to tell you that I played as a gek, which
Speaker 1: was like the race that I played as. And I
Speaker 1: didn't know if you knew that was a race on there.
Speaker 2: No I didn't, but that's I heard. The game sucks.
Speaker 1: It does, it's it's a big time suck. But currently
Speaker 1: I'm living in a house of wayward children while their
Speaker 1: parents are in jail, and I thought that would be
Speaker 1: interesting to tell you.
Speaker 2: Dude, what the hell is a wayward child?
Speaker 1: I looked it up that way. I had an answer
Speaker 1: for you when I knew you would ask that it's
Speaker 1: a kid that is hard to manage, like unruly, they
Speaker 1: don't like to listen to direction, stuff like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: my cousin's mom is in jail currently, and since then
Speaker 1: she's been inviting all of her friends to live here,
Speaker 1: which has grown to six to ten depending on the night.
Speaker 1: They're all out of high school and just you know,
Speaker 1: drinking and partying all night. So that's fun.
Speaker 2: Now, why are what's your relation to these kids? Why
Speaker 2: are you in this house?
Speaker 1: So I moved here after a breakup, and my aunt
Speaker 1: wasn't in jail when she's when I first got here,
Speaker 1: but as soon as I got here, she got into
Speaker 1: some legal trouble and went to jail. So it's my cousins.
Speaker 1: I live with my two cousins and I'm basically quote
Speaker 1: unquote the man of the house while she's in jail.
Speaker 1: But yeah, are my cousins.
Speaker 2: You should pitch this to HBO. This actually sounds pretty good.
Speaker 1: There would be a boring show because all they do
Speaker 1: is hit their vapes and stare at their phones in
Speaker 1: the same room. I've walked into a room and they'll
Speaker 1: all be eight to ten kids will be staring at
Speaker 1: their phone, not speaking to you each other while like
Speaker 1: wild music blasts.
Speaker 2: It's funny, right, Euphoria makes it look like everyone's like
Speaker 2: talking to each other and stuff. But what you described
Speaker 2: is a little bit more accurate. But you could call
Speaker 2: it the wayward cousins, which would be an interesting name
Speaker 2: for something anyway. All right, so it's you. So it's
Speaker 2: you in a room with and your aunts in jail.
Speaker 2: So it's so you literally are the like only adult
Speaker 2: in the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I work a full time job, so I'm really home.
Speaker 1: But when I am home, it's there's just a bunch
Speaker 1: of kids in and out of a kitchen making hamburgers
Speaker 1: or ramen noodles. I'm drinking twisted teas and asking to
Speaker 1: hit each other's nicotine.
Speaker 2: And what's the deal with this? Are you like do
Speaker 2: you have custody of these kids? Are you like their
Speaker 2: primary Like, do they put you down as their emergency
Speaker 2: contact when they do the field trips and shit?
Speaker 1: My oldest cousins she's seventeen, so I mean technically I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how it works legally, but she
Speaker 1: she is able to be on her own. Grandparents who
Speaker 1: live in the same neighborhood have legal custody because this
Speaker 1: isn't the first time that my aunt's been in legal trouble,
Speaker 1: so they have like emergency custody over them in the
Speaker 1: event that something happened to my aunt. So they they're
Speaker 1: they're around, you know, they buy the groceries and stuff
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: So if you get too high, they have legal The
Speaker 2: grandparents have legal custody over you. Over over there, I
Speaker 2: wish that.
Speaker 1: Was an option. I get drug tested at my job
Speaker 1: so I can't smoke currently, which is a huge bummer.
Speaker 2: But all right, So the older cousin is all right,
Speaker 2: So this two of them, one is seventeen and holds
Speaker 2: the other one she's fifteen. Okay, all right, are they
Speaker 2: like now? Now when you say way, that's what's gonna ask.
Speaker 2: Now when you say way, word like, all right, they're
Speaker 2: they're aren't they're well, where where are the parents? Uh?
Speaker 1: The dad he lives in the same city, but he's
Speaker 1: he's got a different wife and kids of his own,
Speaker 1: and my cousins don't really want to keep too much
Speaker 1: contact with him unless they need to. And then he's
Speaker 1: the mom's in jail.
Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, so the dad abandoned the family the mom.
Speaker 2: The mom is in jail.
Speaker 1: I see it the other way around. The kids kind
Speaker 1: of abandoned the dad because when when their mom went
Speaker 1: to jail, the dad wanted them to come live with him,
Speaker 1: but the kids don't like his wife, so they they'd
Speaker 1: rather be in a house with me, who they see
Speaker 1: as like the cool guardian. Because I really don't care
Speaker 1: as long as they don't wake me up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night. I don't really tell them what
Speaker 1: to do, as long as the house is clean for
Speaker 1: the most part, the dishes are done, I kind of
Speaker 1: stay in my room. Why they they're able to do
Speaker 1: whatever they want.
Speaker 2: So they so they're estranged from their dad just because
Speaker 2: they don't like his wife. Did the wife like do
Speaker 2: anything or she just looks weird?
Speaker 1: No, she did what honestly, any parent or me should
Speaker 1: have done or should do.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: They suggested that they that they wanted. The oldest one
Speaker 1: drop out of high school and doesn't work or anything.
Speaker 1: So they suggested that she, you know, get her ged
Speaker 1: and go get a job. And she's almost a goroaphobic,
Speaker 1: meaning like she is afraid to leave the house. She
Speaker 1: doesn't like being a car, so she's, uh, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a laundry list of things that go with.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm like, is this dad like a just
Speaker 2: a guy who abandoned his family or you or you
Speaker 2: think he's a good guy.
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. Now he's a good guy. My
Speaker 1: dad's friends with him, they're you know, he's kind of
Speaker 1: like my uncle once removed. I guess because he he's
Speaker 1: not really around to hang out or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But he's a good guy. He's just like I said,
Speaker 1: he's got his own kids, and those kids actually want
Speaker 1: to see him versus his daughters who don't want to
Speaker 1: see him.
Speaker 2: All right, And what's the mom and the mom? Okay,
Speaker 2: so the mom, oh, oh, oh your aunt is I
Speaker 2: got I got mom? I thought there was I thought
Speaker 2: the aunt. I thought there was an aunt and a mom,
Speaker 2: and I confused, Yeah, aunt is okay, mom is the aunt?
Speaker 2: Is their mom? And what what I mean? You don't
Speaker 2: have to tell me any you know, you don't actually
Speaker 2: you actually don't have to engage in this conversation. All
Speaker 2: you can just hang up, but if you want to
Speaker 2: what did what did she do? Why is she in jail?
Speaker 1: Her ex wife? I don't know if they're even ex
Speaker 1: wife at this point. They think they're still legally married.
Speaker 1: She violated a restraining order that she had on her
Speaker 1: by trying to contact her about their daughter that they
Speaker 1: had together, and that led to her ex wife going
Speaker 1: to law enforcement and trying to get her in as
Speaker 1: much trouble as possible, which worked, I guess, well for
Speaker 1: almost four months now.
Speaker 2: All right, so your your aunt is lesbian? Yes, and
Speaker 2: she had it.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a story right there. It's not even
Speaker 1: a story. It's just a really weird scenario.
Speaker 2: That's well, that's really weird because like, I don't think
Speaker 2: lesbians can have accidental children, Dude, there would have to
Speaker 2: be a lot of uh in an accident dialed emails
Speaker 2: for that to happen.
Speaker 1: My aunt got my cousin to donate his sperm to
Speaker 1: his or to her ex wife, so that because she
Speaker 1: wanted she wanted the child to have our DNA, our blood.
Speaker 1: So technically the child is my cousin's daughter. It's it's
Speaker 1: really that's what I'm saying. It's it's almost incest like.
Speaker 1: But you know that he donated the sperm to her wife,
Speaker 1: who isn't related to us at all. But I told
Speaker 1: him from the beginning not to do it because I
Speaker 1: knew something like this was gonna happen. They were going
Speaker 1: to get divorced, or they were gonna split up, or
Speaker 1: something was gonna happen. And now he's just got this
Speaker 1: uh DNA child that we we we can't even see
Speaker 1: in our family. The ex wife won't let us see her.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know the all right, that's just running
Speaker 1: around the world.
Speaker 2: All right, go no further. What's your name again?
Speaker 1: Daniel?
Speaker 2: All right, Daniel're gonna do this very slowly, Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna here's I'm gonna try to explain it,
Speaker 2: and then you stop me when I'm wrong. Yeah, your cousin,
Speaker 2: who is your aunt's ex husband? Bins?
Speaker 1: Uh, my aunt, My aunt is one of four sisters.
Speaker 2: It's one of four sisters, got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so one of her sister's children is my cousin.
Speaker 2: Okay, so your cousin from another aunt, ye is it?
Speaker 1: Guy?
Speaker 2: And he jizzed in a cup and used it to
Speaker 2: impregnate your aunt's ex wife.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not directly impregnator, but yeah, ages in
Speaker 1: a cup and then probably gave it to someone who
Speaker 1: uh inmated her.
Speaker 2: Okay. So so so it's a little it's so it
Speaker 2: feels a little bit ancestral, but it's kind of not
Speaker 2: because it's like, yeah, it's your aunt family DNA going
Speaker 2: into her ex wife's vagina.
Speaker 1: Right on paper, it's it's definitely not incest, but from
Speaker 1: like you know, word of mouth, it definitely sounds a
Speaker 1: little ancestry, is Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean when you just when you just kind of
Speaker 2: put it all together, when you when you slow it down,
Speaker 2: it makes sense. But when you say it impregnated my aunt,
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it sounds a little incesty. Okay, Now why
Speaker 2: did why? Why did? Why was there a restraining order?
Speaker 1: There was a a physical interaction that got because they
Speaker 1: were split up when I moved in and then the
Speaker 1: ex wife came back to the house to get some
Speaker 1: of her stuff and that cause, like I guess she
Speaker 1: was grabbing stuff that wasn't so that caused my aunt
Speaker 1: to get physical with her. And then cut to like
Speaker 1: a week later, my aunt pulled out the ex wife's
Speaker 1: roommate out of a car on the on like the
Speaker 1: road and like assaulted her, like beat her ass. And
Speaker 1: so that that's why she's in jail. But the restraining
Speaker 1: order is because I mean, anyone can go get a
Speaker 1: restraining order on anybody. You know, I could, I don't
Speaker 1: know you, but I can, you know, go get a
Speaker 1: restraining order on you. And you know, we would say
Speaker 1: it would be hard to explain that I want to
Speaker 1: get a restraining order on a random get go that
Speaker 1: I don't actually know.
Speaker 2: But this all you know what this is all sounding
Speaker 2: a fairy away word for sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: So now all right, So the the the cousins, the
Speaker 2: fifteen and sixteen year olds, they don't they don't like
Speaker 2: the dad because the wife is telling it, because the
Speaker 2: dad's wife is telling them that to like get a
Speaker 2: job and stuff.
Speaker 1: Get a job, yep.
Speaker 2: And do they like the mom? Are they like? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Mom's badass because she fights ladies.
Speaker 1: Like their mom. Uh, she's considered the cool mom. She's
Speaker 1: considered the cool aunt of the family. She's you know,
Speaker 1: smoking weed, she does mushrooms in the woods. Uh. She
Speaker 1: works from home. So she's just constantly high. Like she's
Speaker 1: she's considered the cool aunt. But she's at the same time,
Speaker 1: she's considered the uh uh what's the word she's she's
Speaker 1: not present with their children. She doesn't make her kids
Speaker 1: do anything. You know, I'm not judging her parenting style,
Speaker 1: but like your kids should definitely like have some kind
Speaker 1: of direction or and.
Speaker 2: So okay, so and she went to jail and she
Speaker 2: just called you in to clean up.
Speaker 1: I moved here. I moved here from a different town,
Speaker 1: a different city after a breakup, and I was living
Speaker 1: with my grandparents, like I said, in the same neighbor
Speaker 1: as my aunt and cousins. And then after this happened,
Speaker 1: I moved in with my cousins to Linda helping hand
Speaker 1: to be the adult in the air in the house.
Speaker 2: This really would be a cool show, Like there would
Speaker 2: be there'd be a cool scene where like you go
Speaker 2: to meet at a diner with the with the with
Speaker 2: the dad and you're like and the dad's wife is like,
Speaker 2: why won't they just like I can imagine different actors
Speaker 2: playing all these people. You're like this the dad kind
Speaker 2: of I mean, I know he's dead, but your dad,
Speaker 2: the dad could be like James Gandolphine.
Speaker 1: Did you say the dad is dead?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, the dad's not No. I said he's
Speaker 2: the I said James Gandolphini is dead. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: The dad might be dead. I don't know you and
Speaker 2: this could all be a lie. But how old are you?
Speaker 2: I'm twenty eight, You're twenty eight? Okay? So are you?
Speaker 2: Just like taking are you?
Speaker 1: Are you?
Speaker 2: Is any part of you? Like fuck this? I don't
Speaker 2: want to deal with this, or you're you're really.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay. They wake me up almost They wake
Speaker 1: me up almost every night between eleven o'clock and two
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, being loud, and I try to
Speaker 1: I don't try. I do, I don't. I don't leave
Speaker 1: my room to yell at them because I don't want
Speaker 1: to be seen as like a bad guy. So I'll
Speaker 1: text my cousin and be like, hey, it's too late,
Speaker 1: and you turn it down, and nine times out of
Speaker 1: ten she'll do it. Instantly and like, oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we'll being that loud. So it's not
Speaker 1: that big of a problem. But I'm counting down in
Speaker 1: the day until i leave this this city. I got
Speaker 1: a hundred.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is where I was going to ask, and
Speaker 2: this is not. And look, the answer could be love
Speaker 2: for these two, you're for your cousins or whatever the fuck.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 2: What is stopping you from getting out of the air?
Speaker 2: What is what is stopping you from getting out of there?
Speaker 1: Money mostly, and then somewhere to go. So I'm saving
Speaker 1: up money as much as possible. I'm in the next
Speaker 1: six months, I plan to have at least twelve grand
Speaker 1: saved up. My savings is laughable. And then in the
Speaker 1: next six months, my best friend's moving to Kansas City
Speaker 1: and he offered for me to come with him, and
Speaker 1: it's illegal to smoke there, and I can get a
Speaker 1: job and smoke with no problem. So that's that's the plan,
Speaker 1: the plan, so I got.
Speaker 2: The see. See. Another reason this would be a great
Speaker 2: TV show is because our main character has this great
Speaker 2: goal that you can really root for, which is that
Speaker 2: he wants to move to Kansas City and get high.
Speaker 1: I don't ask for much. I want a very simple life.
Speaker 2: I would absolutely root for you in trying to fix
Speaker 2: this family so you can move to Kansas City and
Speaker 2: get high and what the only thing stopping you is
Speaker 2: so let me all right, So I guess let's let's
Speaker 2: say you did have twelve thousand dollars and like, I mean,
Speaker 2: what are these kids they're like it's they're not like
Speaker 2: little kids, you know, they're fucking yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's twenty one.
Speaker 2: It's totally totally not your problem at all. It's the
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's it's these the fucking parents.
Speaker 2: But does any part is it, like, is any part
Speaker 2: of you? Like like, when you leave, is any party
Speaker 2: You're gonna be like a ship? You know. I hope.
Speaker 2: I wish I could help to those kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they're my family and I love them,
Speaker 1: but I I've already come to the realization that there's
Speaker 1: not a lot that I can do or that like
Speaker 1: whatever I say, I don't think they would like take
Speaker 1: in and use that and you know, change their life around.
Speaker 1: So I'm I've already I'm comfortable with our relationship and
Speaker 1: when I leave, like, yeah, I'll miss them and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But they're gonna be fine, or they're gonna
Speaker 1: hopefully my aunt at a jail by then. If not,
Speaker 1: then you know, my grandparents will step in and start
Speaker 1: taking care of them more. I don't know, but it's
Speaker 1: like you said, it's not it's not really my problem.
Speaker 1: I'm doing what I can right now.
Speaker 2: What's your mom's do.
Speaker 1: My mom lives in Virginia and she's retired military with
Speaker 1: her husband who's current military. There. Uh, picture perfect family,
Speaker 1: my stepdad and her.
Speaker 2: Why don't you.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: Like fucking I got it right.
Speaker 1: I got a job here working at an animal shelter
Speaker 1: that pays really really well, and I love it for
Speaker 1: the most part. And so the job that I have,
Speaker 1: which I probably could transfer to another animal shelter that's
Speaker 1: probably not that hard to do. But I don't have
Speaker 1: to pay rent here. I don't have to. I got
Speaker 1: very small amount of bills, so I'm in a position
Speaker 1: to where I can save up and plan, you know,
Speaker 1: six months down the road. And like I said, I
Speaker 1: just got out of a relation, a four year relationship,
Speaker 1: and so moving here was kind of like an escape.
Speaker 1: I was living with her, so I was like I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta leave the city. So like here, I'm
Speaker 1: not being pressed by my parents. I'm more or less
Speaker 1: on my own other than, like you said, the Euphoria kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you also get the benefit of every once
Speaker 2: in a while one of the kids will let you
Speaker 2: take a little hit of their vape, which is nice.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean I don't. I'll never
Speaker 1: buy cigarettes or vapes again. But that's because I don't
Speaker 1: have to. If I just want to hit someone's vape,
Speaker 1: I go out.
Speaker 2: You don't ask everyone. As long as you as long
Speaker 2: as you have a bunch of high schoolers hanging out
Speaker 2: in your house, you never have to my share threts again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't feel bad about it because I'm
Speaker 1: not hanging out with the kids, so it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just kinda there. If I was hanging
Speaker 1: out with these are my friends, and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is a little this is kind of weird.
Speaker 2: Well you're really you're really living it up, man. Congratulations.
Speaker 2: I hope you live. I hope, I expe I hope
Speaker 2: if I ever come to Kansas City, I want to
Speaker 2: get high there too and be like, yeah, I'm living
Speaker 2: that guy who I talk to living his dream right now.
Speaker 1: Know, once I'm able to like plan for like going
Speaker 1: to shows and stuff like that, I'm definitely gonna try
Speaker 1: to go to one of your shows. And I'll go

Speaker 2: the on the Stupid Gecko Podcast.
Speaker 4: On the Stupid Gecko Podcast. Okay, so recently my life
Speaker 4: has kind of been slipped upside down. I was kicked
Speaker 4: out by my partner like two weeks ago, and kind
Speaker 4: of I'm just figuring it out. He like financially supported
Speaker 4: me and everything, so I kind of just I'm here
Speaker 4: trying to find a job. I'm living with a friend
Speaker 4: and like rediscovering myself. It's pretty crazy and scary.
Speaker 2: Okay, how old are you? I'm twenty four, you're twenty four? Okay?
Speaker 2: How long were you with this guy you were living with?
Speaker 4: We've been together for like five years but only married
Speaker 4: for two.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How how long had had he been financially supporting you for?
Speaker 4: For the entire time?
Speaker 2: So he'd been financially supporting you since you were nineteen?
Speaker 4: Pretty much? Yeah, I was in school and in a
Speaker 4: really bad family situation, and so he kind of like
Speaker 4: let me move in and let me use his car
Speaker 4: and all of these things. While I was finishing my degrees,
Speaker 4: and I, as someone who was coming from like a
Speaker 4: very unstable background, I was like, yes, this sounds great,
Speaker 4: give me a break from like feeling stressed and like
Speaker 4: finally feeling secure.
Speaker 2: And what what did you study in school?
Speaker 4: I studied social work.
Speaker 2: Did he pay your tuition or did you go into
Speaker 2: debt for that? No?
Speaker 4: I did not. I definitely have a lot of student loans.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you graduate, Yes.
Speaker 4: I have a bachelor' seen a master's degree.
Speaker 2: When when did you get your master's degree?
Speaker 4: I got my master's degree when I was twenty one.
Speaker 2: Okay, And so did you get a For the past
Speaker 2: three years, have you had had a job at all?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: I had. I actually was working as a therapist and
Speaker 4: burnt out really fast because I was not really taking
Speaker 4: care of myself and I was coming right from school
Speaker 4: and I was kind of jumping into this position where
Speaker 4: I had like zero guidance, and so I kind of
Speaker 4: had a big breakdown in like January of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 4: and my mental health kind of went down. The drain,
Speaker 4: and I just was trying to recover for like an
Speaker 4: entire year, and then recently I've just been working part time.
Speaker 2: What are you doing part time?
Speaker 4: I'm a nanny?
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, that's yeah, that's like that's the purest form
Speaker 2: of social work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I definitely like I can still
Speaker 4: use it on my resume that I've been giving to
Speaker 4: everyone and putting out there and it still looks good,
Speaker 4: like it's still so what.
Speaker 2: What what went What went wrong? That's a tongue twister.
Speaker 2: What went wrong? What went wrong with your partners?
Speaker 4: Well? I kind of decided to blow up our marriage
Speaker 4: by speaking to someone else just in a grab for attention,
Speaker 4: and he found out about it.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: I didn't sleep with anyone, but I was definitely like
Speaker 4: messaging this person on like social media and like just
Speaker 4: flirting with them. I it was not really like anything
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he found out about that and was very upset.
Speaker 4: But I would say that our relationship was kind of
Speaker 4: going down the drain for a while and we probably
Speaker 4: shouldn't have like even gotten married.
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like you felt like you weren't getting
Speaker 2: adequate enough attention from him. And it was causing you
Speaker 2: to want to seek attention elsewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, and define why was it? Thought, but
Speaker 4: I take accountability of my actions.
Speaker 2: Why was it going downhill? Even before that?
Speaker 4: I think just based upon like the relationship that we
Speaker 4: had and how I was completely like codependent on him
Speaker 4: and he was very completely codependent on me in a
Speaker 4: lot of ways, and we just didn't really have our
Speaker 4: own identities at all.
Speaker 2: Mhm. It sounds I was going to say this. I
Speaker 2: honestly was thinking this from the very beginning. When you
Speaker 2: said he was financially supporting you. I mean, it sounds
Speaker 2: like it's absolutely for the best that you guys are
Speaker 2: not doing your thing anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, especially if he was, I mean,
Speaker 2: I I don't know, man, I guess I get it.
Speaker 2: If you it sounds like you came from a rougher
Speaker 2: family background, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 4: Just yeah, I feel like I've I'm not trying to
Speaker 4: like make myself sound like a victim or anything, but
Speaker 4: I definitely like I feel like I struggled my whole
Speaker 4: life in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not about it's not about you know, a
Speaker 2: label of victim or perpetrateor or anything like that. It's
Speaker 2: just is life. Yeah, Okay, so do you still talk
Speaker 2: to this guy or when's the last time?
Speaker 4: So yeah, So it was like last Monday or a
Speaker 4: few Mondays ago, he kicked me out. I went to
Speaker 4: my best friend's house where I'm staying, and he decided
Speaker 4: like immediately that we were going to get a divorced
Speaker 4: without speaking to me, and had almost like signed all
Speaker 4: the paperwork, and then we went and sat down and
Speaker 4: talked and talked and talked and talked and talked for
Speaker 4: hours and hours and hours and kind of came to
Speaker 4: the conclusion that we are just going to be separated
Speaker 4: for a month and have no contact.
Speaker 2: Okay, how long ago is that?
Speaker 4: That was only about a week ago, and it's definitely
Speaker 4: been like pretty hard. I didn't realize that I was
Speaker 4: like such a co dependent person until I like had
Speaker 4: to not see my person.
Speaker 2: So you guys decided that you were going to get separate,
Speaker 2: so you're legally what legally separated, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm not going to talk for a month. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just to kind of find ourselves and figure out like
Speaker 4: what we actually want in the relationship, because it was
Speaker 4: like we're not blind in some ways.
Speaker 2: Do you anticipate that you're going to want to get
Speaker 2: back together with this guy or even that he will
Speaker 2: want to get back together with you.
Speaker 4: I don't know, and that is I guess. I know
Speaker 4: that you don't give couples advice or relationship advice, but
Speaker 4: I mean possibly, just like discussing this could help me
Speaker 4: process if I want to or if I want to
Speaker 4: just like cut it off clean. I'm just not really sure.
Speaker 4: And it feels like every day away from him is
Speaker 4: super different, where like I'm struggling crying all day and
Speaker 4: then like the next day, I'm like, I'm an independent boss, bitched,
Speaker 4: I can do this. I just like, you know, I
Speaker 4: don't know, hustling and stuff. So it just like changes
Speaker 4: every day. But I think that where we left was
Speaker 4: that he needed to figure out if he could trust
Speaker 4: me again, and I needed to figure out what I
Speaker 4: needed in a relationship.
Speaker 2: That sounds f I mean, look, man, I have my thought.
Speaker 2: I don't like telling the whole like, oh, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you give a relationship advice thing. I just
Speaker 2: you know, I've realized I've actually been doing a lot
Speaker 2: and this is kind of genius on my behalf is
Speaker 2: I'll say I don't like telling people what to do,
Speaker 2: which is true, but then I'll tell people what to
Speaker 2: do and also sometimes kind of enjoy doing that.
Speaker 4: That's okay, I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: This is why I call it pretty genius. It's pretty genius.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I try to get through this podcast without telling people
Speaker 2: what to do as much as possible. But like, I mean, dude,
Speaker 2: all right, what's your what's your dream? What's your name again, Jade?
Speaker 2: What's your dream in life? Jade?
Speaker 4: And that is something that I don't know at all.
Speaker 4: I used to think that it was helping people, okay,
Speaker 4: and I feel like maybe in my future it is,
Speaker 4: but I think I was very much too giving of
Speaker 4: myself and so, like you now, I'm focusing on like
Speaker 4: what fills me up. I think my dream is maybe
Speaker 4: like being a musician, but I've never really like believed
Speaker 4: that I could do that.
Speaker 2: All right, So I mean a few thoughts, and I'm
Speaker 2: sure these are all things you've thought about before. Is
Speaker 2: your boyfriend is wondering whether or not he can trust you,
Speaker 2: which is a good thing for him to be wondering,
Speaker 2: because you know, if you really like him. You understand
Speaker 2: that he does deserve to be with somebody that he
Speaker 2: can trust, and in that understanding, would understand that you
Speaker 2: might not be the best person for him at this
Speaker 2: time and all, so that a relationship and also he
Speaker 2: might he's not probably not the best person for you
Speaker 2: if the relationship was so unsatisfying for you that you
Speaker 2: felt the need to, you know, find attention in other places. Yeah,
Speaker 2: at first glance, not really knowing a lot about you,
Speaker 2: not really knowing a lot about him, this seems like
Speaker 2: it was a good thing for both of you, guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree for sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, So and and look, people are emotional and make
Speaker 2: stupid decisions plenty, and so I'm not going to say
Speaker 2: that you're undeserving of love or happiness ever again for
Speaker 2: the rest of your life at the age of twenty four.
Speaker 2: But you're in a moment right now where I think
Speaker 2: you should focus on yourself. I mean, you've been with
Speaker 2: this guy who's it's been financially supporting you for six years,
Speaker 2: just six years, right, five years?
Speaker 4: Six years whatever, Yeah, it's like five coming on, it's
Speaker 4: a long time.
Speaker 2: It's like you're you're gonna be a lot it's gonna
Speaker 2: it'll be it's gonna be difficult. It's a difficult transition,
Speaker 2: but I think you'll be a lot happier if you
Speaker 2: go on the journey of building a genuine agency in
Speaker 2: your own life.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I agree with everything that
Speaker 4: you're saying. I think my emotions just like getting the way,
Speaker 4: and same with him, Like when we're together, he's like,
Speaker 4: I just weird, like still in love, but also just
Speaker 4: like it doesn't feel like we're compatible because yeah, like
Speaker 4: I said, like I don't know if we even like
Speaker 4: should have gone through with marriage or any of those
Speaker 4: things like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing, and here's the thing. I
Speaker 2: genuinely believe that different things make and this is why
Speaker 2: this is my this is why I don't like telling
Speaker 2: people what to do. Is because different things make different
Speaker 2: people happy. They just do for some there are there
Speaker 2: are I'm sure there are plenty of people out there
Speaker 2: who got married when they were twenty one and they're
Speaker 2: still together at at thirty two and are really happy.
Speaker 2: And there's also plenty of people out there that got
Speaker 2: married at twenty one and are just fucking absolutely miserable.
Speaker 2: And so and I don't know the difference between those
Speaker 2: two couples. I don't know what that X factor is.
Speaker 2: So some things that work for some people don't work
Speaker 2: for other people. But I mean, in talking to you specifically,
Speaker 2: I think like it seems as though you didn't get
Speaker 2: that much of a chance to develop yourself as as
Speaker 2: a person on your own.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And also it wasn't like you were stoked in
Speaker 2: this relationship. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I definitely feel like at least the last like nine
Speaker 4: months have been not great in that relationship, and there
Speaker 4: were like multiple times that I asked for what I
Speaker 4: needed and did not get that. So I definitely also
Speaker 4: feel like I don't know if I could enter back
Speaker 4: into that because I feel like I've also like grieved
Speaker 4: the relationship in the last like eight months. Okay, so
Speaker 4: I felt all of those emotions.
Speaker 2: What is it that you wanted to Are there any
Speaker 2: things I'm besides just having sex with other people that
Speaker 2: you wanted to do while you were in a relationship
Speaker 2: that you didn't do or haven't done.
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure, Yeah, for sure. I mean just in general,
Speaker 4: like my I guess we could say like ex partner now,
Speaker 4: he was like he's pretty like introverted, like homebody kind
Speaker 4: of thing. It like I was definitely like the person
Speaker 4: who was like playful and like let loose and I
Speaker 4: just like sometimes don't want to frolic in a fucking
Speaker 4: field and he's looking over down for that ever, it's
Speaker 4: like I want to have fun in my relationship and
Speaker 4: not always like be serious or be the one initiating
Speaker 4: that fun. That was definitely like a big thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, what what are some like manifesting What are
Speaker 2: some ways that you can now manifest that in your life?
Speaker 2: And I'm by manifest I mean like things you can
Speaker 2: do that are manifestations of your outgoingness, you know, like
Speaker 2: do you want to do you want to travel places?
Speaker 2: Do you want to go to the club? I don't know,
Speaker 2: just and anything at all that devolves putting yourself out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just like letting my I found that
Speaker 4: I have. I come from a back room with like
Speaker 4: a lot of religion and stuff, and so I feel
Speaker 4: like I have a lot of just comfort, just like
Speaker 4: being in my body and moving my body. So I've
Speaker 4: actually been getting into dancing, which is like not like me,
Speaker 4: I don't like that, but now I do because I'm
Speaker 4: discovering like it's okay to move your body and it's
Speaker 4: okay to be comfortable in your body, and you don't
Speaker 4: have to do like hiding that and it's not like
Speaker 4: an inherently like sexualized thing. So definitely that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you know, do you know the macarena?
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever sexual. I don't think the macarena. I think
Speaker 2: is probably one of the least sexual dances that exist
Speaker 2: in the uh in the in the dance lexicon. But anyway,
Speaker 2: what else anything else?
Speaker 4: I want to start riding horses again, and something that
Speaker 4: I did when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I.
Speaker 4: Can afford it, because course they're so expensive, but like,
Speaker 4: I just want to do it once just to like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, going back and like doing things that
Speaker 4: I used to love and just kind of have not
Speaker 4: done anymore. Same with like music stuff, Like I literally
Speaker 4: have a keyboard, I just don't use it. So I
Speaker 4: guess doing all of these things that I've wanted to
Speaker 4: do for so long.
Speaker 2: Well, so then it sounds like you it sounds like
Speaker 2: just leave this guy alone and go figure out your
Speaker 2: own life.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And that's the advice I've definitely been getting
Speaker 4: I again think it's just like really hard with emotions
Speaker 4: and like especially if he like decides he wants to
Speaker 4: work it out and he's willing to like work on
Speaker 4: these things that I've been asking for for like the
Speaker 4: whole relationship, Like I'm I want to be with that person,
Speaker 4: like because that.
Speaker 2: Is his I don't know, you know, I don't know
Speaker 2: if the look if the guy can't I'm trying to
Speaker 2: think about this. I mean, if the guy came to
Speaker 2: te back to you and was like, hey, I know
Speaker 2: there's been some problems and I want to work it out.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't know this. This
Speaker 2: is why I'm not going to tell you what to
Speaker 2: do because okay, and listen, here's the thing. People are
Speaker 2: listening to this are gonna be like, you know, fuck you.
Speaker 2: But and then another person's going to comment under the
Speaker 2: person who wrote fuck you. Then they're gonna write noble
Speaker 2: fuck you. And everyone's gonna argue. But at the end
Speaker 2: at the but at the end of the day, not
Speaker 2: me or anyone listening to that knows what's gonna make
Speaker 2: you or this guy happy. Yes, but I got a
Speaker 2: hunch that you guys should just go live your own
Speaker 2: fucking lives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. And then like we did an accident,
Speaker 4: will check in like one weekend where like he called
Speaker 4: me and I was like, oh no, it isn't an emergency,
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'm doing really well, and I was like,
Speaker 4: that's good. I like to hear that. So yeah, maybe
Speaker 4: you're right. Maybe that's like a sign that like he's
Speaker 4: doing well, I'm doing well, Like we can both do well,
Speaker 4: just separately.
Speaker 2: What's your name again, Jade? Jade? Is there any else
Speaker 2: you want to say to the people of the computer
Speaker 2: before we go?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Just listen to your gut instincts and be.
Speaker 3: True to yourself.
Speaker 2: I have a good night, Jane.
Speaker 4: Thanks you do.
Speaker 2: For some reason, whenever I ask people, uh, if there's
Speaker 2: anything else they want to say, they always end with advice.
Speaker 2: Why I why not? Like I want a good next Hey,
Speaker 2: if you're listening to this and you ever call in
Speaker 2: and you ever hear me, say, do you have anything
Speaker 2: else you want to say to the people of the computer,
Speaker 2: don't do it. Don't don't give any advice, say something,
Speaker 2: do something cool, like even just like a give me
Speaker 2: like a go Ravens or something. I don't know. There's
Speaker 2: too much advice on this show. Uh more post call thoughts.
Speaker 2: Uh Look, people listening to this are gonna have their
Speaker 2: ideas of no, you shouldn't do this, and you shouldn't
Speaker 2: do that, and I have my ideas of that as well.
Speaker 2: But I think the one thing, after talking to so
Speaker 2: many different people and both onto this show and in
Speaker 2: real life, is that you just is exactly what I said.
Speaker 2: Different things make different people happy, and people's brain chemistries
Speaker 2: are wired differently, and I sort of think that, you know,
Speaker 2: if I'm on the phone with somebody and I'm talking
Speaker 2: to them for a long time, I can, you know,
Speaker 2: you can get an idea of maybe how they are wired,
Speaker 2: and once you have that information, form an idea of
Speaker 2: what might work well for them based on the information
Speaker 2: you have about them as a person. But then also
Speaker 2: you got you got people who are being like, well, no,
Speaker 2: they're brainwashed, and sometimes they are and sometimes they are.
Speaker 2: And I guess what I'm trying to say is that
Speaker 2: I don't know anything. All right, Hey guys, it's Lyle here.
Speaker 2: I'm about to do some ad reads. But if you're

Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: It's going alright? I actually feel pretty good right now
Speaker 2: in this moment. Dude, it's okay if it's not. But
Speaker 2: is there anything in particular you want to talk about?
Speaker 3: Well? Nothing, nothing in particular. Just been listening to the

Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Justin? Okay, But you know what, I'm not. I'm not

Speaker 2: what are you doing right now? What did you do today?
Speaker 3: What did I do today? I went to work today
Speaker 3: and took a nap, took a good nap today, and
Speaker 3: it's been about it.
Speaker 2: What do you do for?
Speaker 3: What do you do today?
Speaker 2: I'm a plumber, You're a plumber. What doll I do?
Speaker 2: Let's see what the fuck did I do today? I
Speaker 2: woke up, I edited something, I spent a lot of
Speaker 2: time setting up my little super cast page thing. I
Speaker 2: ate some chicken and rice. I had deep existential thoughts
Speaker 2: about if I need to change the way that I
Speaker 2: live every day, and then I abandoned those thoughts because
Speaker 2: they would have required me to overhaul my brain chemistry
Speaker 2: and habitual nature to make a change, which is too
Speaker 2: intimidating a task to even begin to face.
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 2: Looked at Reddit instead and saw that Timothy Shalome and
Speaker 2: Kylie Jenner are now dating, and that me and me
Speaker 2: looking at that image is a part of my life forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's a shame when things like that
Speaker 3: come up and then you're just kind of stuck with
Speaker 3: that burned into your brain.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, what's the last image that you feel
Speaker 2: like you saw that really burned in your brain? Oh?
Speaker 3: My wife, he's watching the vander Pump Show, and it
Speaker 3: drives me absolutely insane. So every rules, yeah, I just yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't see that kind of stuff. Just yeah to me,
Speaker 3: it's brain rot, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, my just I think my sister used
Speaker 2: to watch it. My fam My sister and my dad
Speaker 2: are both very into reality TV. But I've never been
Speaker 2: a fan. What what was the latest thing you saw
Speaker 2: on vander Pump Rules.
Speaker 3: It was like some dudes he's like talking with the
Speaker 3: lady about some wine or some shit like that, and
Speaker 3: I said, can you turn there's ship off? And she
Speaker 3: goes to be a little nicer about it.
Speaker 2: That's that's That's an episode of that is exactly what
Speaker 2: an episode of vander Pump Rules is like, is some
Speaker 2: lady is talking to some fucking guy about some wine.
Speaker 2: But yet but you know it's funny is when I
Speaker 2: think about these kinds of things, is I would never,
Speaker 2: like you would, I would never watch that show. And
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that like to be cool, because like,
Speaker 2: I would never watch that show, but I respect it
Speaker 2: because thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands
Speaker 2: of people do watch that show, do find enjoyment in it,
Speaker 2: And that's actually abuse. That's actually inspiring to me, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, there's there's certain shows in that
Speaker 3: that realm that I would watch, but that is one
Speaker 3: that I just can't get behind. You know, back in
Speaker 3: the day a Jersey Shore, I definitely found myself watching episodes,
Speaker 3: but this vander Pump it is just not something I
Speaker 3: can get behind.
Speaker 2: What shows do you watch?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we've been going for a little wholesome lately,
Speaker 3: and I've been watching some Ted Lasso, you know, try
Speaker 3: and uplift my mood and you know, just get some nice,
Speaker 3: nice wholesome feels in What is Ted?
Speaker 2: I keep seeing it? What the hell is Ted?
Speaker 3: Last?
Speaker 2: So? I know it's got that guy in it who's
Speaker 2: in stuff.
Speaker 3: It's it's a guy who's just kind of like a
Speaker 3: just a good old guy who was a football coach
Speaker 3: and then he went to coach soccer overseas and someone
Speaker 3: really likes him because he's just, you know, an American
Speaker 3: football coach and knows nothing about soccer and just a
Speaker 3: lot of like cheesy, feel good type stuff in it.
Speaker 2: You know, Okay, is there? Should I watch it?
Speaker 3: And it was good right off the bat. I'm slowly
Speaker 3: fading out of it, though I don't know if that's
Speaker 3: what I'm getting stuck back in the scrolling on my home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, scrolling on your phone is compelling. Scrolling on your
Speaker 2: phone is compelling. I was thinking about that. I might
Speaker 2: have talked about this before. But I have a friend
Speaker 2: who told me that he will watch TikTok intentionally, which
Speaker 2: all which blew my mind. And what okay, And what
Speaker 2: I mean by that is when you TV. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to go like, I'm trying to get behind, like, what's
Speaker 2: the difference betwet teens spending time watching TV and spending
Speaker 2: time scrolling through TikTok? And I think it's about the
Speaker 2: intention because you sit down, you pick ted Lasso and
Speaker 2: you sit and you watch and it's like you, You're
Speaker 2: it feels like you when you're watching it, you like
Speaker 2: made that decision to sit down and watch it. Whereas
Speaker 2: you find yourself on TikTok learning the details about with
Speaker 2: the Shallomet and Kylie Jenner and you're you're now, you're now,
Speaker 2: you're in this loop that you didn't even you're not
Speaker 2: even you're not behind the wheel of this. But I
Speaker 2: had a friend who said they'll watch TikTok until he'll
Speaker 2: be like, I'm blocking out an hour to sit down
Speaker 2: and watch TikTok? Who the fuck does that? You could?
Speaker 2: That actually could be productive. You could sit there. You
Speaker 2: could sit there and take notes. You could take note.
Speaker 2: There's like people there actually is a lot. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of bullshit then you know, Candy Crush,
Speaker 2: Family Guy clip shit. But this is people talking about
Speaker 2: valuable stuff on there. And if you actually, if you
Speaker 2: sat there and like whatever, took notes or something, you
Speaker 2: actually probably learn something. But that's not how that works really.
Speaker 3: No, Well, I guess it depends on the type of
Speaker 3: scroll and you're doing. I don't normally whip out a
Speaker 3: notepacket paper when I'm getting some deep scrolling in. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'd be But if I did, I could be really
Speaker 3: gathering some some good information.
Speaker 2: Okay, you watched Ted last, I just watch I just
Speaker 2: watched like Family Guy in south.
Speaker 3: Park, little the classics there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember the last time
Speaker 2: I got it. I really got deep into, uh, like
Speaker 2: a drama series or something. There's this one TV one TV.
Speaker 3: Show usually just rewatching old shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, what are you? What are you rewatching?
Speaker 3: I'd go to for me, he's always Entourage. Entourage is
Speaker 3: just a classic that I could just throw on. Gotta
Speaker 3: get back in.
Speaker 2: That's cool. You know what I watched recently this is
Speaker 2: kind of I watched the pilot of Curb Your Enthusiasm

Speaker 3: view of, hey, yes, I want to be with this
Speaker 3: girl for the rest of my life. But I don't
Speaker 3: fully agree with I think marriage is or or what
Speaker 3: it is now. It's not about just being with that person.
