<v Speaker 2>Do you want to talk to a gecko about life? No,

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't. Do you want to talk to a gecko

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>about life? Have a seat? Have a seat. What's your name?

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>My name is ChEls Parola.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing?

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Charles's probably got a first end last Carls Parolas and

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>last name Parlo Paralo. Up, Charles, how's life? Ah, I'm

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty good.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting next to a guy with a face like

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>like face panton and dress as a get go. This

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>is exactly what my parents envision for my life. They

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 3>want me to get an investment banking instead of doing this.

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, how's your relationship with your parents? They both passed away.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry to hear that.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's kind of a that was kind of a

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>rough segue there. I'm sorry I had how did you

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 3>give you do that?

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 4>There?

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Where did you have a good relationship with them?

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Like growing up?

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I go got good enough?

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess so.

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, I had a like a kind

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>of a rough relation with my dad until like a

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 3>few like, like I said, the year before we passed away. Okay,

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>so it's kind of nice. We actually got along for

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>that final year.

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's not when you guys were getting along. Like

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>what kind of stuff would you like do together?

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't know if we would do.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we would just hang out, you know, just

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>like eat dinner things like that. But I think it

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 3>was just like, you know, I didn't have the best

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 3>career for like years, and then it kind of picked up,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, and then I was like there was some

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of pride there. We had some fun, but yeah,

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>it was kind of cool.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Did you like, did you learn anything about like in

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that like little window of time, do you like, learn

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>anything about him that you like didn't didn't know during

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>your life that maybe like surprise you.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 3>So I mean occasionally, like because you know, my mom

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 3>passed away years earlier, and he had another girlfriend, and

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>he'd occasionally get drunk and talk about sexual things. So

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 3>I learned some weird fetish ship. I learned he liked feet.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>He had that Dan Schneider thing going on. Yeah, so

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't you know, I don't you know that's gonna

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>be broadcast now. But hey, you know doctor Kid's doctor

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Parola like feet, you know what?

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>This actually brings up an interesting subject because it's like

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>if your dad starts talking to you about sex in

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>a weird way. It's like, you know, you only have

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>one you know, your parents are your parents, and you

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>know you want to know about them because they're your parents,

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>but also because they're your parents, you don't want to

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>know about their sex life. But there's also a weird

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>thing where it's like, you know, I don't know, there's

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>a there's a like your dad telling you that he's

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 2>in defeat. There's like a vulnerability in there that does

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of a lot of alcohol to a lot of alcohol,

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.839
<v Speaker 2>but it's a vulnerability in there that is like kind

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>of even though it's like, oh, that's my dad, I

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I necessarily wanted to know that, it's like, Oh,

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of glad that I'm getting to know my dad,

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>or is.

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 3>That we never really talked about sex and he never

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 3>gave me the talk. When I was a kid, I

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>learned about sex from Jerry Seinfeld, I just watching Don Feldts.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 3>In fact, I remember the only time he tried talking

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>about sex, I already had it.

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 4>I was sixteen. We were watching the movie.

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>The Ninth Gate and it was kind of crazy because

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>there's a scene where Johnny Depp is having sex in

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 3>front of a burning church and there's some woman who's

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 3>who's actually the devil and her face is turning into

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 3>a horse face for some weird reason. And that was

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 3>the moment my dad's like, you know, you got to

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 3>use protection and I'm like, wait, are we doing that?

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>And he's like no, seriously, seriously, pregnancy that could be

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>taken care of, but you know, ATDs are a thing,

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, wait, are we seriously having a moment.

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Right now, he said, pregnancy that could be taken care of.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 3>But we were, we were, you know, it was weird.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I was going to Catholic school at the time, but

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>we were. We were like a kind of a liberal

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>household in that respect, you know, we were we were

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 3>the family. We had that like herschel Walker thought like, hey,

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 3>you get some pregnant, you put four ndred dollars and

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>a get well card and takes care of itself. Might

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 3>not be the best joke for everybody around, but okay,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, worked for them.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can abort chlamydia too, yeah, I mean,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah you can.

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>You can get rid of chlamydia. Can't get rid of

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 3>some of the other ones. I mean I kind of

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>was wondering at age like fifteen sixteen, who my dad

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>thought I was hanging out with, Like, I mean, I

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>don't think like the clap was a thing that was

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 3>spreading around like with sophomores in high school. I mean,

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>but maybe it was. Maybe I just wasn't active enough.

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Like no, so you said, okay, you said that, you're

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you're kind of when your career started picking up, your

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>relationship with your dad started to give it what was

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>your career?

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Picking up looking looking like, what what is your career?

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm a YouTuber, TikToker actually like yourself, and I would say,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, like originally my dad kind of did it

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 3>because I always tried working in startups and other projects.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 3>It didn't really go like the best, and there's a

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of failure, a lot of false hope like oh, hey,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 3>this is gonna work and it doesn't, and then the

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 3>money really starts coming in, especially from the snapchat shows. Yeah,

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 3>but I think like the best moment was, you know,

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.119
<v Speaker 3>the Marek Human interview. I interviewed him back in the day.

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I had him on for like almost two hours. Cool

0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>and my dad never watched it in my interviews before.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>He said I was interviewing has been celebrities, which a

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 3>little bit true. And uh then he like watched the

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>whole Mark Cuban interview on TV. I went out to

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>like a club and then like I came back home

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 3>actually and he was like, hey, I just want to

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 3>say you did a really great job, but that that

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.679
<v Speaker 3>was a really nice thing. And I actually I actually

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 3>told Mark after he passed away, I spoke to Cuban again,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned that, yeah, and like, yeah, Mark Cuban, that

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 3>was a that's a really cool dude. I mean there's

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 3>two guys I can say I've met in this business

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>that are like, you know, like doing this, that are

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 3>just altern nice people. Mark Cuban's like exceptionalize.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 3>The other one, and this is the coolest thing, is

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 3>a mister Beast. Actually. Yeah, like you know, end of

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 3>last year, he followed me on Instagram and messaged me

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 3>and like, uh he really enough wanted a phone call.

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>And I was like almost crying afterwards, Like I told

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 3>people that, and you probably get a little yourself, like

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 3>that's almost like being like an actor on like a

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 3>regular TV show. And then DiCaprio, who shoots you a text,

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 3>great job like that's that was like it was like

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a tier moment. You get that feeling all.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:53.479

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>my video because they want to like get his space.

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And I felt like bad for him.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of like this when I was when I

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 3>was a kid, Like, uh, Pope, the Pope before the

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 3>current One visited New York and I was watching it

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 3>just on TV and there were tons of nuns jumping

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 3>like saying, oh, we got to get close to him,

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 3>got close with They're almost like groupies, and it's the Beatles.

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of what it's like. It's like you could

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>have five million screw subscribers on YouTube and you're jumping

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 3>to see mister Bees like you could be because there's

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>like there's kind of like a level where I feel like,

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 3>you know you and I might sort of be on

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 3>it where people sort of know us, like you know,

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 3>we get recognized. I mean, hell, that happened when you

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 3>were setting up, Like one guy came to you, A

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 3>bunch of people came up to you. One by guy

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 3>came to me. But but then there's like then there's

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 3>the megas and it's like there's like like god t here.

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>It's like and that's that's what he is, and it's

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of that's what It's kind of sick to be

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>noticed by that.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>That's cool, you know. I always wonder about mister Beast

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>because like, uh, he keeps going and he's really young.

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>He's he's younger than me, you know, but he just

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>he keeps going. And I always wonder with dudes like that.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, how do you keep going? Because you get

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 2>to a certain point where you're like, uh, you know,

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>like like what like after you achieve like this like

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>your massive sess you're number one, like you can't how

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 2>do you be?

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>How do you keep being wanting to be more than

0:07:59.240 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>number one.

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 4>For like infinity.

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 3>So I've had a few conversations with him about that actually,

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think at this point he has reached the

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 3>number one status on YouTube, and I think now his

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 3>big dream is to be someone like Walt Disney. Like

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I really think his vision is because he told me

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 3>how many you know, I don't know if I can

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 3>say the number on camera, but he told me how

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 3>many candy bars they're selling. It's they're competitive with Hershey,

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 3>now they are. This is a billion dollar company.

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm a large portion of that pie buying those

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 2>mister beets.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I think they're just okay. And I told him that.

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I told him that I respect Oh yeah, I told him.

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.839
<v Speaker 3>I said I'd give the chocolate. I gave him a bee.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I gave him a bee. I gave him a bee

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 3>for beast.

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're okay. I mean, well they're they're specifically not

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>meant to have as much like sugar and crap in them, right,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Know about that. It's like, I think they're fine. I

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 3>just think there could be some better chocolates out there.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 3>But he's a really cool guy and I think he

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>will build a company worth ten billion dollars or more like,

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's already I think valued at a billion dollars.

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, So back to you.

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Sure, back to me.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 2>You say, oh yeah, okay, So you interviewed these celebrities

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, so, how I gots I'm curious about this,

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>like how do you how do you feel about your

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>career and life?

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 3>And I think we're at a little bit of a

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 3>plateau right now. It's like there's nothing like, I mean,

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>do you ever get that feeling yourself as a creator.

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I've been getting. That's twenty twenty five has been for

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.719
<v Speaker 2>me about about like, oh I have that plateau.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because it's like you could people don't realize it

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:25.959
<v Speaker 3>as a creator. It's like you get to that point,

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 3>like the growth numbers aren't the same you get to

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 3>because people always think, like, you know, you get a

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 3>million subscribers, you're gonna have ten times as many views

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand. But you know, I don't know if

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 3>you're more of a shorts or longer form or both.

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 3>But I actually told people it's like, oh, my most

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 3>viewed month ever on YouTube was eighty five million views,

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 3>and I had under fifty thousand subscribers. Yeah, now it's

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 3>like I have a million subscribers. I can get like

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 3>a quarter of that. So it's like there's a little

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 3>bit of a plateau. So it's trying to break the

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.199
<v Speaker 3>plateau and doing things like you know, I hired a

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 3>guy to do an animatedor we're gonna try to do an

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 3>animated videos. New app I'm trying to launch. So there's

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 3>so many new things you try to do because if

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 3>you because if you do have a plateau, you just

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 3>have a regular job like everyone else.

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all you're hundredercent correct.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>The thing though, is that, like, you know, I've experienced

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>posting a video on Instagram and TikTok or whatever and

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 2>having it get a million views or whatever, and I,

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, I look at my YouTube or whatever and

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know if it's like views that

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm chasing more so than it is like, uh, I

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know a novelty in like like like I don't

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>know if the plateau is necessarily about like a number

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>more than it is about like, you know, what you're

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 2>actually doing.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 5>It gets the.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Point I feel a little bit more almost about money, sadly,

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 3>because it's like, because the thing is when I first

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 3>when I first went viral on TikTok, and like, cause

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>you said you did this for five years, right, so

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 3>around the same for me as well. It was like

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I started, like I really started going viral on like

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one. And I remember the first time I

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 3>did a video. I was living with my brother and

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 3>like when they do the one viral, it was about

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Adam Sandler. I posted two videos that day I made

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 3>the night before. The first got eight views in two hours,

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 3>which eight likes in two hours, and then the second

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 3>one got seventeen thousand two hours and ended up getting

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 3>three and a half million views. And that's when I

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 3>was like, Okay, the celebrity stuff is really starting to sell.

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 3>And I did that and I was really, you know,

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 3>happy with how things were going. But but then it's like,

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I wasn't even making money the first

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>six months because there was that rumor TikTok they wouldn't

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 3>pay you if you monetize, and I believed it and

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I was more into getting that two million view a

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 3>day number that I was making money, and I didn't,

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, so I went like, you know, six months.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I remember there was a rumor that if you joined

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the Creator Fund, like they don't want to.

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Pay out, yeah, which was false, and you know, so

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't monetize, but it was more important to get

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 3>the views. Now it's like, oh hey, whippy, do get

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 3>get a million views. It's like I've done that hundreds

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 3>of times. So now it's like, okay, the money but

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 3>it got it's got to stop doing that. So it's

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.719
<v Speaker 3>like now about long form content. Now it's about new

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 3>projects because.

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you like well, do you like do you like

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>covering celebrities?

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 5>You know?

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 3>So the thing is this, there's a line in Hollywood

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>because they say with directing, one for me, one for you,

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 3>And I think the biggest example of that is Tim Burdon.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Tim burd And did the movie Als in Wonderland. He

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 3>did not want to direct that movie. He didn't direct

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 3>the sequel.

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 4>He didn't care.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 3>He did it just so they would fund franken Weeni,

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 3>which was one of his early projects. It was one

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 3>for me, one for you moment. So with me, there's

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 3>some videos I really love covering. When I get to

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 3>do celebrity financials and movie financials and there's some cool stuff.

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 3>But then there's other times where yeah, it's not it's

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 3>like it's like just a video. Like like I mentioned earlier,

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 3>I did want about Hayley jaw Osman today about him

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 3>getting arrested, and at the end of the video, I said, hey,

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>we all deserve to be forgiven, like and that was

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 3>like kind of a message there. But then again, I

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 3>like to sprinkle some stuff I'm interested in because you know,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 3>he got paid one hundred and fifty k for six cents.

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Bruce Will's got one hundred and twelve million. I think

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 3>that's a fact that should be known because it shows

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 3>how child actors, I think, are getting ripped off. So

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 3>I think, so, yeah, I am happy with the work,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 3>but it could be better.

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that I like the application of the one

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 2>for me, one for you thing to you know, the

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Internet universe.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>And I was all right, a little bit about like life.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean in general, if you want to

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>pursue some kind of creative thing, you know, everyone has

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to make money and feed themselves. And it's like, you know, look,

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>you go to your job, you do one for yeah, yeah,

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you give one up for capitalism, and then you yeah,

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you do one for yourself. You know, it's it's you

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 2>can do both.

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a lot of careers. My dad was

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 3>a doctor and one thing he told me was he

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 3>loved doing surgery. Surgeries is fun. Pretty much every surgeon

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 3>love surgery. They hate seeing eighty patients in one day

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 3>having them complain getting the BS.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 5>But it's like a one.

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 3>For me, one for you is you do those days

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 3>so you can do the days you like.

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Yep. Yeah, you know.

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.760

<v Speaker 2>So, Gaith, what's up? Tell me everything? Tell me nothing?

<v Speaker 2>What's what do? What do we? What do we do?

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 6>Just?

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 4>What do we do?

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking, I'm at the park. I'm looking for answers. Man,

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>do you have any answers? Answers or not, they don't

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 2>have to be the answer. But what are your answers?

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you have answers?

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm basking the sun while we I guess we don't

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 6>really gut as much as kind of cloudy out.

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 4>But it seems like a really beautiful day.

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:49.919
<v Speaker 6>If one guy knows what they're doing, they're all finding

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 6>their time to just enjoy themselves.

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 4>So I like walking through parts like this. It's just

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 4>doesn't seem like anyone's.

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 2>In a rush.

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:57.640
<v Speaker 1>You ever get freaked out how many people there are?

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes?

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.479
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, not like over but like the idea of how

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 6>many variables of people.

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 2>There are so many variables, and it's weird because it's

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 2>like you only get to be there's eight billion people,

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and you only get to be one person. You only

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 2>get you get to be one of the eight billion people.

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>The more the older I get, the more I'm like

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 2>believing more, and you know, like you know, like somebody

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.120
<v Speaker 2>will like be on ayahuasca and start talking about shit

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:24.959
<v Speaker 2>and you have no idea what they're talking about. The

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 2>more the more I think about it, I'm like, those

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 2>people are probably right, there is got there's gotta be

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 2>something underneath.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 4>They're delving into.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, they're delving in areas that people aren't used to,

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 6>so I think we usually tend to think they're crazy. Yeah,

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 6>but uh yeah, it's just all about perspective, isn't it. Yeah,

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 6>everybody's entire personality, where you're born, where you see things.

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know this word? I think I don't know

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>if I'm pronouncing it right. It's sollipicism.

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 6>Yea.

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like the the theory that, uh, it's kind of

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 2>a it's a very ego full theory.

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like the idea that your.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Consciousness like the whole world is just exists in your

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>brain because your consciousness is the only verifiable one to you.

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 2>So like the idea that the world is a simulation

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 2>for you, and that's the other thing that you can verify,

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 2>because again, you can only physically exist in your own consciousness.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.199
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of a spooky thing to think if you

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:23.399
<v Speaker 2>really get wrapped up in it.

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if it's the same thought but or

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:26.880
<v Speaker 6>a school thought, but someone's telling me about how they

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 6>believe in the idea that the afterlife is what we

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 6>deem it in a sense that if you live a

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 6>life that was good or bad, you would know more

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:37.120
<v Speaker 6>than anyone.

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 4>You would be your own judge.

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and then your moments of death, no matter how

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 6>long it would be, would be either heaven or.

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Hell for you for what you deserve. You would know,

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 4>but your brain would go, this is where I'm going.

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 4>I have an idea. I know, I know I'm going here, But.

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 11>Is that true?

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Like because it because like classically, like.

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Villains in like you know, movies or whatever, they think

0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 2>they're a good guy, right, So like that you could

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>do like a bunch of crazy stuff. And then when

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you're about to die, be like on our way to Heaven, Baby,

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be awesome.

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 6>I guess that's the idea, the whole part of the

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 6>brain being the simulation.

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 4>They I guess they really truly believe it was their way.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you could be a whole disgusting person, a

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 6>vile person, and think you're the greatest person and wow,

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 6>I guess you beat the system.

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, kind of terrible to think in that way.

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I think about I think about evil.

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm always getting fucking existential. But I've been thinking about

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 2>good and evil differently, because good and evil, you think,

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 2>are like kind of like there's good people and evil people.

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>But I do feel as though.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 2>This sound this sounds like it's like ayahuasca hippie ship,

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 2>but it feels very like real to me that we

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 2>are in like a collective consciousness. So any evil committed

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:58.360
<v Speaker 2>is evil committed by the fucking collective consciousness of humanity,

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and same with any good. You know, we're all each

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 2>other that kind of ship. I mean, that's how I

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 2>think when I'm you know, in a in a heady mood. Normally,

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually lately, i've normally been in a heady mood.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know what I mean. Then sometimes you're just

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you're just you're eating food and you're not thinking about anything.

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I've been really into I love watching. I watched a

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 2>fucking hour long YouTube video that did a a deep

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 2>dive into the special features on all the different SpongeBob

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>DVDs throughout the years, and I was like, this is awesome.

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I never want to think about death again. I want

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to watch I'm trying. Oh, there was a VHS tape called,

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a VHS tape called A Day

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>in the Life of SpongeBob, and I think it's like

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 2>about a kid who hangs out with SpongeBob, but like

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like lost media or whatever.

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 4>So I was watching that human kid.

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, human kid. I think he goes under the sea.

0:26:58.280 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 2>But no, no, no, you got the right idea. You

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>got the right idea. What's your life?

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.399
<v Speaker 6>I just moved out here about a month back. I

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 6>visited a lot in the past, like five years. Cooluh,

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 6>I was raised in a restaurant, so I want to

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 6>be a chef.

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I am a chef.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>You're raised in a restaurant, yeah, like like you grew

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 2>up like yeahs.

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Like you like you slept in the oven like you.

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I would sleep in.

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 4>The booths every really busy weekad my mom. I was

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 4>a job before I worked.

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 6>They would be like, oh, put a PlayStation in a

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 6>little chair upstairs for me, you'll pass out and cool things.

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 6>So cool, but uh yeah, I love food. I love

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 6>creative things.

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 2>What kind of restaurant was this?

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 6>It was an Indian restaurant run by a Middle Eastern

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 6>family because there was already a Middle Eastern restaurant in

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 6>the area and they weren't allowing a double down. So

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.639
<v Speaker 6>my mom was like, I need to pay rent and

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 6>she picked up an Indian cookbook from the story were

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 6>they uh like, it's a I'm from Kansas City and

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 6>there's a uh like a river market city market and

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 6>they don't want just like five of the same thing.

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 4>So their idea was the cater or like curate a dive.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, So this was like you know, uh what

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>a reading terminal market is.

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 1>It was like that kind of vibe.

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Is this like like did you have was it like

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a booth or was it like a standalone restaurant?

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 6>You had a stand alone restaurant latched door that was

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 6>always open within a hallway, and we had a produce

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 6>spot next.

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>To us within a hallway.

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's a restaurant as part of a complex of

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a bunch.

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.680
<v Speaker 6>Of like a giant L shaped hallway with a big

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 6>farmer's market. You got little lomash people and all the

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:22.400
<v Speaker 6>people selling stuff.

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 2>On the outside and that, and you're in this restaurant.

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>You're like whole life.

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 6>No, at least until since early elementary school, well past

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 6>graduating high school. It's I just started like catering and

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 6>doing my own thing outside of it. And it's always

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 6>been a beautiful safety net of mine because it's a

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:40.959
<v Speaker 6>guaranteed job. But I felt like the safety net kind

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 6>of became a hammock. I was just sitting.

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I've never heard that before. I like film you

0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>come up with that. I guess, yeah, that's the safety

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 2>net becomes a hammock.

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, just like I feel you just lay there too long.

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 2>That's something that I would see on like a business

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>success Instagram.

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 4>It's yours just say it again.

0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 2>So I was I gonna say the so you cater

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 2>stuff now?

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, more like fusion dining quick events. When I would travel,

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 6>I would sell T shirts and art prints and whatnot,

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 6>and then I would also, like the last time I

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 6>did Lamberia, like Palestinian focused with like our fusion of

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 6>like middle like Mexican beeria.

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 4>It was delicious, it was great. I had a great time.

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 6>But lately, more for friends, I've been trying to find

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 6>work out here, try to work somewhere that can learn,

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 6>like I was looking at just different restaurants and spots whatever.

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 4>It's a bit different.

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So why'd you come here from Kansas City.

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 6>I had a friend who was doing great for themselves

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 6>that told me it was either this or Jordan. I

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 6>was gonna go to Jordan and stay with family, or

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna come out here, which I did, and

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 6>I stay with a friend. And I'm lucky. I don't

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 6>pay rent, I don't play utilities. I just live here

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 6>now and.

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Try Oh cool, yeah cool. How is your friend cool

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>with you just not paying rent and living with them? Yeah.

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 4>They missed me immensely.

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 6>They wanted me to come out like five years back,

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 6>and they just simply wanted their They're like, they're not

0:29:59.160 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 6>the most social person.

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 4>They're very friendly and an amazing person, but they're a

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 4>bit of a hermit.

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It what a homie, just being like, I'm lonely just

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>living in my house.

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm very fortunate for them.

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. Do you know this guy?

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 4>It's actually a friend. I knew her she.

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 6>I knew her from middle school and we have been

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 6>friends since. We were close in all types of ways.

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 6>And after they moved out here, we just missed each

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 6>other and they gave me the option.

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is like like a romantic thing.

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 6>It was briefly, but I'd say at least like seventy

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 6>five percent of our relationship was bor platonic than it

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 6>was romantic. It was one of those why would you

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 6>date your friend because you're both attractive and you like

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 6>each other, It's.

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Not enough, you know? Is that not enough?

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's enough.

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, wait, wait, by the way, not to

0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>comment in your life, but but what you just said

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>was fascinating to me. You're one of my best friends,

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and we're both physically attracted to each other and we

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>like each other a lot. Not enough.

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 4>We weren't compatible.

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't a compatible emotionally, and it wasn't compatible uh

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 6>where we were at the current moments in our lives.

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 4>And because of that, now where we're at we just

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't work like that.

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 12>Are you dating?

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you dating around?

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 4>I do date around. Uh yeah, I'm definitely a bit

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 4>of a.

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Whore, but like it's okay, So being a bit of

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a whore is it? Do you bring girls back to

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>your place? Because I bet I was about to say,

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 2>is that that would be like, Hey, I live have

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 2>a complicated situation. I live rent for you with quasi X.

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't remember.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 6>Bring girls like I don't bring that many homies back

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 6>because they don't.

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Again, they're not social.

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:36.479
<v Speaker 6>They don't want random people they don't know, and they

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 6>don't like being introduced to new people.

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Like they're very happy with their stuff.

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.239
<v Speaker 6>But no, the idea of like fucking someone like in

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 6>their spot is a little nutty to me. I would

0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 6>I always tend to just like either go to someone

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 6>else's place, or I'll get a room, or I'll do

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, okay, but more often not My dating situation

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 6>is more back home out here, it's been more just

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 6>meeting people, hasn't been as flirty.

0:31:57.880 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So you're telling me so you were slutting it up

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 2>around Kansas Yeah.

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, Kansas City, it's a bit of a smaller pool.

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. I'm very curious, what the uh what's the

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City dating scene?

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Like, how's it compared to New York?

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Because people, because you know, the whole New York dating

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>scene thing is like this infinite people here, and so

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>some people feel like that makes it a bad place today.

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Some people makes it feel like it's a good place today.

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 2>How's that compared to Kansas City?

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 6>Casey has like five good spots once every other week

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 6>that are like popping off that people can meet and

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 6>hang out and do things.

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you're not an app guy?

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 4>I am?

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, and I actually know act things don't work

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 6>for me. I always I'm so much better in person.

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 6>I sound like a loser. I feel it doesn't really

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 6>like feel natural texting and messaging, but when I'm in

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 6>front of somebody, it feels.

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 4>So much more genuine.

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 6>But uh no, compared to case everybody knows everybody literally,

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 6>It's just it's like small town stuff.

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 4>It's the biggest small town ever. And uh it's a

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 4>very small.

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 6>Pool compared to out here. I think, oh, here, you're

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 6>actually gonna meet someone unique. You're actually gonna meet someone

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 6>The variables are all over and it being a walking city,

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 6>you never know when the next corner might have someone

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, it might be a next conversation.

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Interested, so are you do you? Have you ever like

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 2>seen someone that you thought was attractive on the street

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 2>or at the park and just struck up a conversation

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 2>with them.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 6>I tend to respond more than initiate because I feel like,

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, I feel weird approaching people too much

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 6>of the city or in general.

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to bother.

0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 6>The most I'll do is say, hey, you're beautiful, just

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 6>wanted you to know that, and I'll leave it alone

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 6>at that, and if it was meant to be, they

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 6>might hit me up again.

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't ask for information.

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I was a kid. There's an episode

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>of Drake and Josh. Do you know the one I'm

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 2>about to talk about. No episode of Drake and Josh

0:33:38.760 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>where like they're at the movie theater and Josh goes

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>up to this Josh goes up to this girl and

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 2>he's like, I like your shoes.

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh is this the deep voice?

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I think so, because I'm sorry, And he says I

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.239
<v Speaker 2>like your shoes and then she says thanks, and then

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 2>he walks away, and then she I mean, obviously this

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:56.280
<v Speaker 2>is all a sitcom, so I don't know if this

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 2>is actually this would not happen in real life, I

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think. But he walks away and the girl goes

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 2>up to hit This is like someone's fantasy. They walk

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the girl walks up to them and goes, you're not

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 2>hitting on me, You're just gonna compliment my shoes and

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 2>walk away.

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That's so cool. Let me get your number.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't think that's gonna find I don't. That's

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 4>not what I'm expecting at all.

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 6>I think it's more one of those things where I'm like,

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 6>I feel like such a lame for not saying something too,

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 6>because I'm like, Wow, that person, they elicited something that

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 6>made my heart flutter just briefly. I want them to

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 6>know that, even slightly. And yeah, I think that's the satisfaction,

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 6>just knowing that I made them smile, you know.

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah nice.

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, I more often than not, someone is my

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 6>most flirtationous thing is a woman will go up to

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 6>me and tell me they like me, and I will

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 6>on the street, well, in general, like wherever in the world,

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 6>Like it could be in the streets, it could be

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 6>what it could be like more meeting friends and whatnot

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 6>or random events. But yeah, they showed me they have

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:48.320
<v Speaker 6>something of interest in me, and I feel it back.

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Then, I will like all initiate that tell me about

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a Jordan, Like what's what's the city that you do?

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 4>You have?

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You hung out there a lot in you're life.

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 6>I got to go there when in uh middle school

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 6>and in high school. Okay, when I went the first time,

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 6>it was meeting a bunch of people that I've never

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 6>met before that looked just like me, and seeing the

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 6>whole side of my father's family and completely being shell shocked.

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:12.800
<v Speaker 4>But it was beautiful.

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 6>I missed my Uh the cities would be like it

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 6>a bit Zeega a man was the capital.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Agaba is beautiful. It's on the ocean.

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:22.880
<v Speaker 6>You see it is a phenomenal thing to see. I

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 6>think you think see Petro watty Rum. But my favorite

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 6>things about Jordan were my grandma's courtyard. She had a

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 6>lementary and it was serene and I miss it immenseally.

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.040
<v Speaker 6>She passed, and that's not really suthing I experienced anymore.

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:39.280
<v Speaker 6>I think it's more family than is Jordan, but it's it's.

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you've traveled so much I've meant to. I've

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 4>traveled a bait like I've been at the Pan and whatnot.

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 4>And no, it's really interesting.

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:48.879
<v Speaker 6>To be into a whole, complete, different culture. It makes

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 6>me feel like a space.

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 4>Traveling makes me feel like I'm on a different planet.

0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:57.279
<v Speaker 2>But I love it. What fuck I think I hold

0:35:57.320 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of this yet? A sign is for those listening on audio,

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the sign just got fucked up. But that's fine. I

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 2>might just get rid of this way. Hold on, I

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:11.600
<v Speaker 2>need to get a new one of these. Sorry, it's

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that's that's good enough. So would you are you planning?

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Are you planning on making any trips back to Jordan

0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon? Because it was between here and there.

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:21.239
<v Speaker 4>I'm I'm fortunate enough.

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 6>My family has uh earned enough money and security in

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 6>their lives that they're able to be like, hey, if

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 6>you want to go Jordan, we will buy your ticket.

0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:33.359
<v Speaker 4>We want you to experience your culture and your family. Again. Cool,

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:36.239
<v Speaker 4>that's great, But yeah, I just this New York things

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 4>seemed a little more. The timing was a little more.

0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh now, I mean you got a good setup.

0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm like, how often I want to get a

0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 4>chance like that?

0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 6>A little summer in a little five months in New

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 6>York and experience as much as I can't compare to

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 6>my family, saying my mother, being the sweetheart she is saying,

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:51.799
<v Speaker 6>whenever you want to go, I will let you go

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 6>see my sisters.

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>So you've okay. But you moved here, you said a

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 1>month ago.

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 4>I moved here.

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 6>I was born in America, and I moved here a

0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:01.320
<v Speaker 6>month back. I to travel all the times because I

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:04.279
<v Speaker 6>enjoy the city. But uh, yeah, I was just at

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 6>a point in my life where I got it, said

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 6>the whole handmaking sitting. I wanted to just change an

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 6>environment entirely to see how I could do.

0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 2>So, Gief, Gay, Gaith, Gaith, what's your Uh? What's what's

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the dream?

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 6>I kind of want to have like a Bob's Burgers

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 6>set up and no family, Like you know what I'm saying.

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I guess that's that's because you grew up

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 1>in the restaurant.

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:26.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 6>I want to be able to live above a restaurant,

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 6>feed people and play the music I like and do

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 6>the things I want to do well, all the while

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 6>having my own space to curate. And then you know,

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 6>if a family happens, that happens. But the idea of

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.520
<v Speaker 6>closing up the shop and going upstairs and knocking out

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 6>just sounds like a dream.

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:45.759
<v Speaker 2>It does sound like a dream, you know, Gaith, it's

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:47.960

<v Speaker 2>your dream in life? Julie? Uh?

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 10>My goal, my dream in life is to just spread

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 10>the energy, spread the positivity.

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:50.879
<v Speaker 2>We need it.

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, we need it so much, so much, especially the

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:56.840
<v Speaker 10>way our world's going. Got these pins on my bag,

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:00.319
<v Speaker 10>Keep loving, keep fighting. None of us are free until

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:02.840
<v Speaker 10>all of us are free, and our struggles are connected

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 10>because they are, they really are.

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Struggles are connected in how to tell? How do you

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>how do you how do you mean.

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 10>When I when it comes to the end of the day,

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 10>everything dials down to the same thing. So the fact

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:18.400
<v Speaker 10>of the matter is is that the patriarchy, the one percent,

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 10>they're gonna keep getting richer, and we have to and

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 10>we have to understand that it's all of us against

<v Speaker 1>I was hanged.

0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to my best friend on the phone

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:55.879
<v Speaker 2>a few months ago because I was fucked the sign

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the signs, the signs.

0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Fucked I can hold oh yeah, we'll just hold it

0:44:59.120 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 1>all uh.

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:00.800
<v Speaker 2>And I was talking. I was talking to him and

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, I'm fucking depressed, and he was like,

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, well, because I was depressed about I was

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 2>thinking of like death a lot. And he was like, well,

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the thing is like death is a zero, but depression

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 2>is negative. He was. I thought that was fascination, Like

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 2>death is like a zero, like you're not anything, You're not,

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:21.439
<v Speaker 2>like depression is worse than being dead.

0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:23.520
<v Speaker 12>It's like the opposite of love is indifference.

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:23.799
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's probably a bad thing to say. Actually,

0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:29.239
<v Speaker 2>why that depression is worse than being dead? Oh?

0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:33.279
<v Speaker 12>Actually, I mean if to the right people, it will

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 12>be to certain people, will be a bad idea to suggest.

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>But but I got but it makes sense. Well okay, no,

0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 1>hold on.

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 12>I was for those of us who are alive, I

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:43.719
<v Speaker 12>think it's a good point. It's an optimistic, good way.

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 2>But when he said that, I was like, yeah, you're right,

0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Why don't I Why am I so afraid of death? Why? Like,

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid of death to But here's why I was,

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid of death to the bar was making me depressed.

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 2>But then it's like the depression is making is worse

0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 2>than the fear. So just stop.

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what I'm saying?

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 12>You know, I guess you don't want to get a

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 12>point where you're just so sad you don't feel anything. Yeah,

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:08.439
<v Speaker 12>because then I would be like, what's the difference between

0:46:08.480 --> 0:46:10.919
<v Speaker 12>that and death? Like I don't know.

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:12.719
<v Speaker 2>What makes you? What makes you?

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:17.760
<v Speaker 12>I mean not like achieved my dreams, you know dreams.

0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:21.040
<v Speaker 12>One of my dreams. I want to be a jazz musician. Okay, cool, Yeah,

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 12>I play the bass, a little big guitar, played the drums.

0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 12>You know, I kind of maybe I'm spreading myself a

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 12>little too thin, but I'm hoping maybe one day I'll

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 12>be there. I'll be somewhere, you know, performing some cool

0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:35.319
<v Speaker 12>jazz music or just music. Would you ever busk? Like

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:37.839
<v Speaker 12>I was gonna mention that, Actually, I've seen plenty of people.

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:41.480

0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:43.320
<v Speaker 12>for the stars and don't make it, maybe I'll just

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 12>end up a busker. But I think i'd be content

0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:47.040

0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:43.840
<v Speaker 12>there's just one level where you had to beat like

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:45.239
<v Speaker 12>you were on a timer. You have to save a

0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 12>damn from getting blown up, and that shit gave me

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 12>really mad anxiety. I would always freak out on that

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:52.880
<v Speaker 12>level and I never beat the game. Unfortunately. I think

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 12>i'd be able to do it now now that I'm older,

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:58.400
<v Speaker 12>But you know, a lot of things were scary when

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.000
<v Speaker 12>I was a little kid, you know, like Damn's explode

0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:01.480
<v Speaker 12>and uh.

0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 2>And then you realize that a damn exploding is if well,

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 2>depending on who he's.

0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:09.680
<v Speaker 12>Also the responsibility that I was supposed to be Superman.

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 12>So like, yeah, like the damn exploding. If Superman let

0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 12>a damn blow up, that's kind of disappointing. You know,

0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 12>you expect him to be able to do it.

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Depending on who you are, the fear of a damn

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:23.920
<v Speaker 2>exploding is not going to be quite relevant to your life.

0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:26.240
<v Speaker 2>That's true, but it was to me because I was Superman.

0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Being Superman probably sucks probably too. It's I mean, I'm

0:48:30.200 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 2>sure it's probably ful failing that he.

0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:33.560
<v Speaker 12>Has a capacity to handle it, But if I was Superman,

0:48:33.640 --> 0:48:35.200
<v Speaker 12>I would be freaking out every day.

0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:37.520
<v Speaker 2>But that that makes sense because if you were Superman,

0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you would have the capacity to handle it.

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:41.040
<v Speaker 12>Okay, Yeah, maybe maybe I just don't have the mindset

0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:43.080
<v Speaker 12>to be Superman. Maybe that's why I'm not Superman.

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think anyone could be Superman because he's

0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 2>a fictional Yeah, he's a fictional character.

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 12>He's also an alien. If he was really wouldn't be human.

0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:53.759
<v Speaker 12>So do you like superheroes?

0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Do I like superheroes?

0:48:56.000 --> 0:48:56.160
<v Speaker 14>Yeah?

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:57.080
<v Speaker 12>What's your favorite superhero?

0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Or probably Spider Man because he's relatable. He's just a kid, right.

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:01.919
<v Speaker 2>So it's like you can see yourself beating.

0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:04.040
<v Speaker 12>I've been by bugs before, you know, and you didn't

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:04.520
<v Speaker 12>turn it out.

0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:06.240
<v Speaker 2>No, it just makes your skin red.

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:07.720
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, it just makes it really itchy.

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:08.000
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 12>It's unfortunate. We were you bit by a get go

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:12.560
<v Speaker 12>or something? Are you just a get go?

0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I spout this on Amazon. He's about this Amazon. What's

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 2>your name again? I'm Sam? Sam? Is there anything else

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:20.239
<v Speaker 2>you want to say? That the people a computer? Before

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:24.080
<v Speaker 2>we go, Sam, learn an instrument. It will make your

0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:26.799
<v Speaker 2>life better. But that's about it, like very much talking

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:29.440

<v Speaker 16>don't have that many. I mean finals are coming up.

0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:31.600
<v Speaker 16>I just solved my biggest problem, which was unemployment. Well,

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:33.960
<v Speaker 16>my the old restaurant used to work at. They've decided

0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.440
<v Speaker 16>to sell and gave us four day notice. Yeah, they

0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:38.839
<v Speaker 16>told us on April ninth that we had four days

0:50:38.840 --> 0:50:40.760
<v Speaker 16>to go find a new job because they were closing

0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:44.600
<v Speaker 16>the store April thirteenth. So but that's all figured it out.

0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:46.200
<v Speaker 16>We got a new job, we have money coming in

0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:46.600
<v Speaker 16>the bank.

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 15>I'm trying to keep my blessings and be grateful. What

0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:50.080
<v Speaker 15>about you?

0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:58.319
<v Speaker 2>What about me? I am uh, I'm enjoying life in

0:50:58.320 --> 0:51:00.680
<v Speaker 2>this very moment. You come out, Yeah, you come out

0:51:00.719 --> 0:51:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to the park and you're like, oh, everyone's here.

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 16>I feel like it's over stimulation Central right now because

0:51:06.120 --> 0:51:08.440
<v Speaker 16>there's just so much going on. We got skaters over there,

0:51:08.440 --> 0:51:10.800
<v Speaker 16>we got like people selling shit, like there's just everything.

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.440
<v Speaker 16>Everyone's here today because it's a nice day out. Also,

0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:16.480
<v Speaker 16>whenever the weather hits above seventy degrees, nobody knows how

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:16.920
<v Speaker 16>to act.

0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So nobody knows how to act.

0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wait, like wait when the when the weather hits

0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:25.520
<v Speaker 2>above seventy degrees? Like, and what what makes you feel

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:25.839
<v Speaker 2>that way?

0:51:28.600 --> 0:51:32.480
<v Speaker 15>Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe just be I don't know.

0:51:32.480 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 16>People just tend to be a little bit louder. I'm

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 16>not trying to say that as a bad thing. I'm

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 16>trying to say that as like, you know, everyone wants

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:40.799
<v Speaker 16>to enjoy the nice day out, and they aren't very

0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:43.000
<v Speaker 16>They are less considerate than they were when it's colder

0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:44.239
<v Speaker 16>out because everyone's trying to get home, you.

0:51:44.239 --> 0:51:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Know what I mean, Well, this is like, okay, like it.

0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:49.200
<v Speaker 16>Is a very public park. I'm not saying nobody knows

0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:50.879
<v Speaker 16>how to act. Everyone's very respectful here.

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:54.320
<v Speaker 2>But I guess the thing about like New York City

0:51:54.600 --> 0:51:59.680
<v Speaker 2>is that like there almost is like there's very little

0:51:59.840 --> 0:52:04.080
<v Speaker 2>x spectation. Like if some guy was just like on

0:52:04.120 --> 0:52:06.319
<v Speaker 2>a on a nice quiet like this isn't like a

0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:08.839
<v Speaker 2>quiet park. For fact, like if some guy came through

0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:11.480
<v Speaker 2>with like a giant fucking like boombox and was just

0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:12.879
<v Speaker 2>blasting music.

0:52:12.880 --> 0:52:13.720
<v Speaker 15>That's pretty typical.

0:52:13.800 --> 0:52:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Actually, yeah, that's.

0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Like, well, you wouldn't bad an eye. It's you're not

0:52:18.200 --> 0:52:20.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like, oh, how rude. It's like we're it's

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:21.560
<v Speaker 2>fucking you know in New York City.

0:52:21.640 --> 0:52:22.239
<v Speaker 15>It's New York.

0:52:22.440 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, but but did you did you see someone

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 2>where you were like that little that's a little out

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:28.240
<v Speaker 2>of line.

0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 16>No, Honestly, today everyone's being chill today. I honestly appreciate it.

0:52:34.239 --> 0:52:34.520
<v Speaker 13>Thank you.

0:52:34.560 --> 0:52:37.399
<v Speaker 16>We should keep it up just the you know, being

0:52:37.400 --> 0:52:39.240
<v Speaker 16>with your friends and keeping at a normal level. However,

0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:41.439
<v Speaker 16>I did see some people pie each other in the face,

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:42.640
<v Speaker 16>and that was kind of funny, but they were a

0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:43.200
<v Speaker 16>little scary.

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh where they scared?

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Where they clown people?

0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:48.200
<v Speaker 16>No, they were just like pie each other in their

0:52:48.239 --> 0:52:49.960
<v Speaker 16>faces and like running around.

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:51.879
<v Speaker 15>But that was really it. That's none of my business though.

0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:55.719
<v Speaker 2>What's your name again, Isabelle? What's your dream Isabelle? What

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.800
<v Speaker 2>do you wanna do with with your fleeting existence in

0:52:58.880 --> 0:52:59.920
<v Speaker 2>this universe?

0:53:00.160 --> 0:53:01.560
<v Speaker 15>My sweet existence in this universe?

0:53:01.719 --> 0:53:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Sure?

0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Well if I said fleeting existence, but are you sweet?

0:53:04.480 --> 0:53:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Is better?

0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 11>Okay?

0:53:06.320 --> 0:53:09.600
<v Speaker 16>Well I want to be a lawyer one day, specifically

0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.560
<v Speaker 16>with intellectual property AI and cybersecurity law.

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Whoa Okay, do you know a lot about AI?

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:16.439
<v Speaker 15>I'm a computer science major, so yes?

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, shit, Okay, are you scared or are you optimistic?

0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 11>Quite?

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:23.719
<v Speaker 16>Terrified with the way that job prospects are going right

0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:25.719
<v Speaker 16>now and like the job market, but other than that,

0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.359
<v Speaker 16>trying to stay positive because I do graduate next year.

0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh I guess I meant like it, like, are you

0:53:31.640 --> 0:53:36.120
<v Speaker 2>optimistic about the future? Because because we are on I've

0:53:36.440 --> 0:53:38.359
<v Speaker 2>talked about this before, like we're on like the chat,

0:53:39.040 --> 0:53:42.520
<v Speaker 2>we're on the iPhone one of chat GPT right now, correct,

0:53:42.800 --> 0:53:44.839
<v Speaker 2>and so it's only gonna get crazier.

0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:48.120
<v Speaker 16>I mean people are right now writing like breakup letters

0:53:48.320 --> 0:53:49.160
<v Speaker 16>through chat GPT.

0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:52.799
<v Speaker 15>So I mean I don't something that happened to you,

0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:54.319
<v Speaker 15>it happened to me.

0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 1>No, at least I don't think so okay.

0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 16>I mean I happened to feel like acquaintances, I guess.

0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:03.839
<v Speaker 16>But like you were, what were you saying, like the.

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Last thing you just said, like are you okay? Because

0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:10.359
<v Speaker 2>you study this stuff, yes, and you study AI? Are

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 2>do you are you afraid of what's happening?

0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:14.160
<v Speaker 13>I am.

0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 16>I do think that a lot of people are using

0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:19.040
<v Speaker 16>artificial intelligence in a way to benefit them and profit

0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:22.280
<v Speaker 16>off of it rather than use it as a tool.

0:54:23.440 --> 0:54:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that basically that what we've been doing with technology

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:28.000
<v Speaker 1>for instead.

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:31.120
<v Speaker 15>Of using those tools. I mean yeah, but you know there's.

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:33.920
<v Speaker 16>A difference between profit and then capitalistic reed at the

0:54:33.960 --> 0:54:38.640
<v Speaker 16>point like you're using AI to replace like let's just like,

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:41.319
<v Speaker 16>what's one example, I'm being put on a spot right now.

0:54:43.719 --> 0:54:44.399
<v Speaker 15>Let's say you're.

0:54:44.360 --> 0:54:53.320
<v Speaker 16>Using AI to.

0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:52.040
<v Speaker 15>Cut this part out because I'm thinking so hard right now.

0:54:54.840 --> 0:55:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm better, Okay, we're leaving it in shut No. Look look,

0:55:03.360 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 1>look you got look that's life all right?

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:06.879
<v Speaker 16>Sometimes Okay, you know what life cake go my way.

0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:12.279
<v Speaker 16>It's fine artificial intelligence when it comes down to, like.

0:55:15.840 --> 0:55:18.200
<v Speaker 15>You used to Well, if you're using it for homework,

0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:18.719
<v Speaker 15>it's one thing.

0:55:18.760 --> 0:55:21.960
<v Speaker 16>But if you're using it for like to write off

0:55:22.000 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 16>I guess Tara, for tax plans, it's something completely different.

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 16>But I really can't think of a single like right now.

0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:32.839
<v Speaker 16>My brain is so farted out. I'm so sorry. I'm

0:55:32.960 --> 0:55:34.239
<v Speaker 16>promise I'm better at talking to you.

0:55:34.560 --> 0:55:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, all right, do you think we'll eventually get to

0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:40.320
<v Speaker 2>the point where like because here's because here's the thing is, uh,

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the new seasons of Family Guy. I

0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 2>think Family Guy used to be better, and I want

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and when when is chat? When is chat gpt gonna

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 2>be able to write Family Guy like they used to

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:54.520
<v Speaker 2>in the in the in the you know, two thousand.

0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:55.719
<v Speaker 15>Family Guy can be recreated.

0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:57.799
<v Speaker 16>I think those minds are brilliant and they cannot be

0:55:57.840 --> 0:55:58.800
<v Speaker 16>recreated by aim.

0:55:58.880 --> 0:56:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, what my AI is gonna get to a point

0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:03.760
<v Speaker 2>where it can write better Family Guy than the Family

0:56:03.840 --> 0:56:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Guy writers? Right, Because if it's not that.

0:56:08.200 --> 0:56:09.640
<v Speaker 11>I guess, I mean to each their own.

0:56:09.760 --> 0:56:12.920
<v Speaker 16>Everyone has a different opinion about like how about like

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.160
<v Speaker 16>Family Guy? So if they think the most recent seasons

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:18.040
<v Speaker 16>are better than the old seasons. There's always gonna be

0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:20.000
<v Speaker 16>someone who thinks that. There's also someone's gonna think that

0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:23.120
<v Speaker 16>the old seasons are better than you. But I personally

0:56:23.120 --> 0:56:25.800
<v Speaker 16>think that AI cannot. I'll do the old ones.

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you use chatchept for stuff?

0:56:29.400 --> 0:56:31.920
<v Speaker 16>I do use it to explain my calculus homework because

0:56:31.960 --> 0:56:36.239
<v Speaker 16>my teachers aren't that great at explaining stuff. So yes,

0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:39.880
<v Speaker 16>I do support using chatchept when you need stuff explain. However,

0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:41.920
<v Speaker 16>maybe you shouldn't be writing your entire essays with a

0:56:43.120 --> 0:56:44.480
<v Speaker 16>literacy skills are important.

0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, if I had, dude, if I had

0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:49.239
<v Speaker 2>chat cheapt in high school and college, I would use

0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it for fucking everything. I would never ever write an

0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:54.240
<v Speaker 2>essay in my entire life.

0:56:54.640 --> 0:56:55.479
<v Speaker 11>That is so fair.

0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:56.680
<v Speaker 15>That is so fair.

0:56:56.680 --> 0:56:57.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you have used it.

0:56:57.760 --> 0:57:01.480
<v Speaker 16>To write essays and shit, no, I've used it to

0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.319
<v Speaker 16>write out my outlines though, Okay, so I'll use I'll

0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:06.200
<v Speaker 16>take an outline that the chrat GPT has made and

0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:07.680
<v Speaker 16>then base my essay off of that.

0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:09.799
<v Speaker 2>The funny thing is is that they say that there's

0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:13.759
<v Speaker 2>like software that you can run the ship through to

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 2>like tell you if it's been AI generated, but there's

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:18.120
<v Speaker 2>no way that it can do.

0:57:18.160 --> 0:57:20.440
<v Speaker 16>It's all boof, it's all like stupid as well. There

0:57:20.480 --> 0:57:23.120
<v Speaker 16>it's like this AI generator that you put the Declaration

0:57:23.200 --> 0:57:24.200
<v Speaker 16>of Independence in it.

0:57:24.000 --> 0:57:24.680
<v Speaker 11>And it is said that.

0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:27.600
<v Speaker 16>There's yeah right right, So I don't think it's like yeah, no,

0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 16>it is completely fun because there's some people who genuinely

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:33.400
<v Speaker 16>write their papers and then they get flag for plagiarism

0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 16>with AI and they have to go, you know, talk

0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 16>to the deans about it, and then it revokes their students,

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:41.880
<v Speaker 16>that is, if they found if they found like guilty

0:57:41.960 --> 0:57:44.320
<v Speaker 16>or whatever. It's kind of crazy because AI checkers aren't

0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:47.919
<v Speaker 16>even that great in first place. Because I can sound

0:57:47.960 --> 0:57:49.920
<v Speaker 16>all professional and smart as I want an essay. If

0:57:49.960 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 16>I sound too professional or too smart, they're gonna be like,

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:53.120
<v Speaker 16>oh a, I wrote this.

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, but why not let AI do stuff that we

0:57:57.040 --> 0:57:57.640
<v Speaker 2>don't want to do.

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:02.000
<v Speaker 16>I feel like then we'll just start getting lazier and

0:58:02.040 --> 0:58:03.000
<v Speaker 16>lazier and lazier.

0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:06.880
<v Speaker 2>You know we are we not already pretty fucking lazy?

0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Who I mean, we order thirty dollars burritos to our house?

0:58:12.360 --> 0:58:14.160
<v Speaker 15>You ordered thirty dollars burritos to my house.

0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I do not you've never you've never ordered a thirty

0:58:16.560 --> 0:58:17.360
<v Speaker 2>dollar burrito.

0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:19.440
<v Speaker 15>A thirty dollar burrito's kind of insane.

0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You've never you've Okay, look, we all know you've never.

0:58:23.880 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You've never uber eat food before in your life.

0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:28.400
<v Speaker 16>I've never said that. I said I'd never uber eats

0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:29.320
<v Speaker 16>the thirty dollars burrito.

0:58:29.400 --> 0:58:32.040
<v Speaker 1>If you've uber eased anything, it's been thirty dollars. I

0:58:32.120 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>used door dash, What did you door dish?

0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:38.880
<v Speaker 16>I haven't used that app in like, honestly two years

0:58:38.880 --> 0:58:39.960
<v Speaker 16>because I needed to cut it out.

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, but so if you use DoorDash at all

0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.520
<v Speaker 2>for anything, like like if you door dashed anything, it

0:58:46.560 --> 0:58:47.720
<v Speaker 2>was probably thirty dollars.

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 16>I mean the most expensive thing that I DoorDash was

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:53.160
<v Speaker 16>a space heater to my apartment because I didn't want

0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:55.560
<v Speaker 16>to go to Low's and the Lows was too far

0:58:55.600 --> 0:58:58.120
<v Speaker 16>from me, and that was more than thirty dollars.

0:58:58.160 --> 0:59:00.720
<v Speaker 15>But I think it's kind of crazy to.

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Spend I let me just.

0:59:02.960 --> 0:59:05.520
<v Speaker 16>I live next to good restaurant, so like there's like

0:59:05.640 --> 0:59:07.520
<v Speaker 16>so many like little mom and pop shops that are

0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:09.240
<v Speaker 16>like up and down the streets that I live from.

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:11.000
<v Speaker 15>It's I can just walk.

0:59:11.360 --> 0:59:13.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're door dashing a space heater to your house.

0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can claim to be above door

0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:20.360
<v Speaker 2>dashing a thirty dollars burrita to your house. I am not.

0:59:21.440 --> 0:59:22.200
<v Speaker 13>I am above that.

0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:24.240
<v Speaker 15>Why are you spending thirty dollars on a burrito?

0:59:26.120 --> 0:59:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Why? Why?

0:59:26.800 --> 0:59:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Why not just go buy the space heater?

0:59:29.480 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 15>The space heater was like you see, a Brooklyn trains suck.

0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:40.000
<v Speaker 16>I would have to take the queue to downtown Brooklyn

0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:41.560
<v Speaker 16>and then I would have to take the R down

0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:42.160
<v Speaker 16>to Sunset.

0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Or what about someone who asked have a car? Nobody

0:59:46.040 --> 0:59:48.360
<v Speaker 2>here has a car. I mean they do, That's why

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:51.560
<v Speaker 2>they have streets. What's your name? What's your name again, Isabelle?

0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:52.760

<v Speaker 7>I would like to talk about culture because my entire

1:01:30.320 --> 1:01:32.240
<v Speaker 7>the reason I hesitate so much on my major is.

<v Speaker 7>Journalism, but I have to talk about culture, Okay if

1:01:42.840 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm being completely honest, Like I totally don't want to

1:01:45.080 --> 1:01:45.920
<v Speaker 7>go into psychology.

1:01:45.920 --> 1:01:48.320
<v Speaker 17>If I could be anything, I would just like this

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:50.320

<v Speaker 2>What do you mean that's not because that's a great story.

1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean that's not that it's a wonderful story.

1:09:14.160 --> 1:09:17.479
<v Speaker 2>That's the story I want to hear everything is great

1:09:17.479 --> 1:09:19.639
<v Speaker 2>all the time. That's not a good story. Everything wasn't

1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>so great, and then it becomes because no one else

1:09:23.240 --> 1:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>says that, no one else will say that.

1:09:25.120 --> 1:09:25.840
<v Speaker 14>You were amazed that.

1:09:26.040 --> 1:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>So stay with the good part, okay, because.

1:09:29.040 --> 1:09:33.800
<v Speaker 9>The boring prequel to the amazing was the same as

1:09:33.800 --> 1:09:35.559
<v Speaker 9>everyone else's story was terrible?

1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>And then how did it become not terrible?

1:09:37.960 --> 1:09:40.839
<v Speaker 14>I decided it was time for it not to be terrible?

1:09:41.000 --> 1:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Was there something? Was there something that happened or did

1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you wake up one day or how what made you

1:09:48.040 --> 1:09:51.559
<v Speaker 2>decide for it? I don't want this to be terrible anymore.

1:09:51.640 --> 1:09:54.400
<v Speaker 9>I decided that I wanted to do something I love

1:09:54.479 --> 1:09:57.479
<v Speaker 9>every day, and then I decided who I wanted to

1:09:57.520 --> 1:10:00.200
<v Speaker 9>be with. That's when I met my wife, and you

1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 9>put those two together, and that's when it became amazing.

1:10:03.439 --> 1:10:06.200
<v Speaker 2>When did you meet your wife.

1:10:06.040 --> 1:10:07.960

<v Speaker 14>Wow, everyone's happy.

1:10:59.400 --> 1:11:02.320
<v Speaker 9>All good kids. It's good fun. We do what we

1:11:02.400 --> 1:11:03.840
<v Speaker 9>love and we're here.

1:11:04.240 --> 1:11:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Can I so if I can? I can I ask

1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you some questions? I'm I'm curious if you're willing to answer.

1:11:09.160 --> 1:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>So you said things before like you seem correct me

1:11:13.160 --> 1:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong, But as I'm interviewing you, it seems

1:11:16.000 --> 1:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>as though one could separate your life into distinctly like

1:11:21.200 --> 1:11:24.639
<v Speaker 2>when things you say we're terrible when things you say

1:11:24.640 --> 1:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>were great terrible, but that's good. Can I ask how

1:11:28.160 --> 1:11:30.479
<v Speaker 2>old you were when you felt like things started to

1:11:30.479 --> 1:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>become good?

1:11:35.240 --> 1:11:37.960
<v Speaker 9>There was always pieces of good things, but I never

1:11:38.000 --> 1:11:41.560
<v Speaker 9>had the whole package until recently.

1:11:41.240 --> 1:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Until recently. What was it about recently where you like,

1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I have the whole package?

1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:45.880
<v Speaker 14>I don't.

1:11:46.400 --> 1:11:50.559
<v Speaker 9>When I got remarried and and the business was already going,

1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 9>so that was good.

1:11:52.560 --> 1:11:56.200
<v Speaker 14>That was only half of the package. Only you know

1:11:56.920 --> 1:11:57.679
<v Speaker 14>it's not enough.

1:11:59.120 --> 1:11:59.240
<v Speaker 9>Well.

1:11:59.280 --> 1:12:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I like hearing these is because a lot of people

1:12:01.240 --> 1:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>think that, like, oh, if you know, I don't have

1:12:03.240 --> 1:12:05.519
<v Speaker 2>this by a certain age, or this isn't or you know,

1:12:05.840 --> 1:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, you break up with your first significant other

1:12:10.240 --> 1:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, oh, I'll never find love again, this

1:12:12.000 --> 1:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>will never happen again. This will never happen again. I'm dying,

1:12:14.680 --> 1:12:18.160
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever, And then yeah, so it's cool to

1:12:18.200 --> 1:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>hear stories of that not being true.

1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:21.960
<v Speaker 14>How did you end.

1:12:21.960 --> 1:12:25.479
<v Speaker 9>Up in Washington Square Park as a get go asking questions?

1:12:26.920 --> 1:12:27.120
<v Speaker 14>Well?

1:12:27.200 --> 1:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Today, how I ended up as a get go in

1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Washington Square Park asking questions? Is I wanted to get

1:12:31.800 --> 1:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>out of the house, But I mean, I've been doing

1:12:34.680 --> 1:12:37.439
<v Speaker 2>this for like five years just being a lizard and

1:12:37.560 --> 1:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>talking to folks.

1:12:38.960 --> 1:12:39.799
<v Speaker 14>Why a lizard?

1:12:39.840 --> 1:12:42.960
<v Speaker 9>What was it about a lizard that made you go

1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:43.799
<v Speaker 9>in that direction?

1:12:44.400 --> 1:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I just had the costume, so it could have been

1:12:47.160 --> 1:12:49.280
<v Speaker 2>anything like a giraffe.

1:12:49.640 --> 1:12:49.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I kind of fell into this weirdly enough.

1:12:52.520 --> 1:12:56.520
<v Speaker 9>And how is it the lizard business? Asking questions?

1:12:57.400 --> 1:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>It's cool? Ycause this is enjoyable. It's not I'm out,

1:13:03.000 --> 1:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm in. I'm in real life. I meet people I

1:13:05.120 --> 1:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have never met before.

1:13:07.920 --> 1:13:10.040
<v Speaker 14>And what do you do with the content? YouTube?

1:13:10.080 --> 1:13:12.920

1:13:16.280 --> 1:13:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

<v Speaker 1>I mean I do.

1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I do this version of it, and then I do

1:13:22.320 --> 1:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a version of it where I talk to people on

1:13:23.800 --> 1:13:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the phone. You know, this version is fun because I

1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:28.559
<v Speaker 2>get to be face to face with people.

1:13:29.160 --> 1:13:29.920

<v Speaker 14>Are most people not? Maybe not miserable? Unhappy?

1:14:15.960 --> 1:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think most people are unhappy?

1:14:19.840 --> 1:14:22.599
<v Speaker 9>Just my experience in dealing with people, Most people are

1:14:22.680 --> 1:14:24.360
<v Speaker 9>unhappy that I come across.

1:14:24.640 --> 1:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>What about Okay, so you're in the let me ask

1:14:26.320 --> 1:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you this. You're in the music industry. I bet you

1:14:29.040 --> 1:14:31.479
<v Speaker 2>meet a lot of hot shots. You meet a lot

1:14:31.520 --> 1:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of I'm sure, like rich artists, people or whatever. Do

1:14:36.080 --> 1:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>they seem happy or do you think like what do

1:14:39.840 --> 1:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you think the correlation is?

1:14:40.880 --> 1:14:45.520
<v Speaker 9>Believe it or not, it doesn't equate to happiness? Okay,

1:14:46.160 --> 1:14:49.960
<v Speaker 9>super famous, super rich? Do you think you want some

1:14:50.400 --> 1:14:51.360
<v Speaker 9>pretty unhappy?

1:14:51.760 --> 1:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think that is?

1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:54.360
<v Speaker 14>Because the truth.

1:14:54.160 --> 1:14:59.280
<v Speaker 9>Is that money doesn't buy happiness, which is what we

1:14:59.280 --> 1:15:02.200
<v Speaker 9>were just talking about, but it does give you freedom

1:15:02.280 --> 1:15:05.120
<v Speaker 9>to pursue your happy. Of course, of course, big difference.

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I agree it gives you the freedom to pursue things,

1:15:10.280 --> 1:15:13.680
<v Speaker 2>but it completely in and of itself pursue your happiness.

1:15:13.720 --> 1:15:13.920
<v Speaker 13>Though.

1:15:14.479 --> 1:15:16.880
<v Speaker 9>Sure, all if all things were said, if you had

1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:19.599
<v Speaker 9>whatever amount of money it is that you think would

1:15:19.640 --> 1:15:22.479
<v Speaker 9>make you happy, that you didn't have to do anything,

1:15:23.520 --> 1:15:24.679
<v Speaker 9>what would you do with the money?

1:15:27.200 --> 1:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it. I think it can free

1:15:29.200 --> 1:15:33.479
<v Speaker 2>you from a lot of if you had it, so.

1:15:32.920 --> 1:15:34.720
<v Speaker 14>That everyone has a number. I have the numbers. You

1:15:34.760 --> 1:15:35.240
<v Speaker 14>have a number.

1:15:36.000 --> 1:15:39.120
<v Speaker 9>If if you had that number, would you be out

1:15:39.160 --> 1:15:40.000
<v Speaker 9>here interviewing me?

1:15:41.520 --> 1:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I think I would.

1:15:42.479 --> 1:15:45.000
<v Speaker 9>It's a great answer because I always tell my wife

1:15:45.000 --> 1:15:48.160
<v Speaker 9>if I hit the mega millions, and if I if

1:15:48.160 --> 1:15:50.519
<v Speaker 9>I hit the one hundred million dollars, all I would

1:15:50.560 --> 1:15:52.200
<v Speaker 9>do is build a bigger.

1:15:51.960 --> 1:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Guitar company, because yeah.

1:15:55.200 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 9>And just do it bigger. And that's it. So I

1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:00.479
<v Speaker 9>do what I love because I love it. But I

1:16:00.479 --> 1:16:02.519
<v Speaker 9>would still do it if I didn't have to do it.

1:16:03.439 --> 1:16:07.400
<v Speaker 9>Most people have to go where they go every day,

1:16:07.920 --> 1:16:08.559
<v Speaker 9>and if they had a.

1:16:08.560 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 14>Choice, they wouldn't. One day, I made a choice.

1:16:11.960 --> 1:16:14.960
<v Speaker 9>Instead, we're going to pursue what makes me happy instead

1:16:14.960 --> 1:16:16.559
<v Speaker 9>of what makes me the most money.

1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:18.040
<v Speaker 14>And was when I made that move.

1:16:18.400 --> 1:16:21.320
<v Speaker 9>I was making a lot more money to risk it

1:16:21.439 --> 1:16:23.320
<v Speaker 9>all for next to no money.

1:16:24.400 --> 1:16:27.479
<v Speaker 2>And those first few years when you were building the

1:16:27.560 --> 1:16:31.240
<v Speaker 2>guitar company and making much less money than you were making,

1:16:31.280 --> 1:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>what was that like?

1:16:31.960 --> 1:16:33.080
<v Speaker 14>And sometimes no money?

1:16:33.160 --> 1:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>What was that like?

1:16:34.600 --> 1:16:38.080
<v Speaker 14>Scary at times? But I was happy every day?

1:16:38.479 --> 1:16:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Really?

1:16:38.920 --> 1:16:39.120
<v Speaker 14>Yep?

1:16:40.040 --> 1:16:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Where was that? Is this all in New York City?

1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:44.360
<v Speaker 14>Right outside of Philadelphia?

1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Cool? Cool? How long did it take you before

1:16:47.240 --> 1:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you started like making money and feeling like, Okay, this

1:16:50.280 --> 1:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>is a stable thing.

1:16:54.160 --> 1:16:55.760
<v Speaker 14>That's a good question too. I don't know.

1:16:56.200 --> 1:16:59.559
<v Speaker 9>It wasn't It wasn't horribly long, but it wasn't an

1:16:59.560 --> 1:17:03.160
<v Speaker 9>overnight thing either. It's it's a long road and it

1:17:03.240 --> 1:17:05.599
<v Speaker 9>wasn't a straight line. I was all over the place.

1:17:07.040 --> 1:17:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like, what's your sense of peace been

1:17:13.000 --> 1:17:15.000
<v Speaker 2>like throughout your life? But do you feel like you've

1:17:15.040 --> 1:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>been peaceful for most of your life? Or is your

1:17:16.960 --> 1:17:21.639
<v Speaker 2>piece a recent thing? You seem you seem extremely at

1:17:21.680 --> 1:17:23.519
<v Speaker 2>peace and that's recent.

1:17:25.760 --> 1:17:30.160
<v Speaker 14>Five years? Wow, out out of my entire life, that's

1:17:30.200 --> 1:17:32.040
<v Speaker 14>not a lot of time. No, Now, I have to

1:17:32.040 --> 1:17:33.280
<v Speaker 14>live a very long time to.

1:17:33.200 --> 1:17:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Get even can I can I ask you how old

1:17:37.479 --> 1:17:39.479
<v Speaker 2>you are fifty eight, fifty eight.

1:17:39.800 --> 1:17:41.959
<v Speaker 14>I'll be fifty eight this year, fifty seven.

1:17:41.920 --> 1:17:43.719
<v Speaker 2>And in the past five years is when you've felt

1:17:43.720 --> 1:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the most peace five six years. That's really cool, that's right.

1:17:47.000 --> 1:17:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm very I like, on a personal level, I'm very

1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:50.280
<v Speaker 2>inspired by that.

1:17:50.280 --> 1:17:53.439
<v Speaker 9>That's great. Yeah, this was worthwhile. If you're inspired and

1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:56.280
<v Speaker 9>feel good, Yeah, be happy every day.

1:17:58.840 --> 1:18:02.640
<v Speaker 2>But like, have you found pockets of peace throughout your life?

1:18:02.880 --> 1:18:04.519
<v Speaker 1>What gave you those pockets of peace?

1:18:08.880 --> 1:18:12.599
<v Speaker 9>I would say small pieces of the puzzle that I

1:18:12.640 --> 1:18:17.160
<v Speaker 9>have now, just in smaller doses and as not is

1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:21.400
<v Speaker 9>not a concentrated level. So the moments of happiness, moments

1:18:21.400 --> 1:18:26.439
<v Speaker 9>of good things, you know, not constant now, it's.

1:18:26.280 --> 1:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Just now it's concentrated because of your family.

1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:35.120
<v Speaker 9>Because of everything. But it's everything my wife, my family,

1:18:35.320 --> 1:18:38.240
<v Speaker 9>my business, and my friends. I have a nice little

1:18:38.400 --> 1:18:40.040
<v Speaker 9>balance circle.

1:18:41.120 --> 1:18:43.559
<v Speaker 1>And it took you a lot till it took you

1:18:43.640 --> 1:18:44.559
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime to.

1:18:44.560 --> 1:18:47.559
<v Speaker 9>Get to figured out, to figure it out. And I

1:18:47.600 --> 1:18:49.400
<v Speaker 9>didn't figure it out before. And there was time when

1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:52.160
<v Speaker 9>I was very young where I actually made a lot

1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:53.320
<v Speaker 9>of money at.

1:18:53.200 --> 1:18:57.920
<v Speaker 14>A very young age and was miserable.

1:18:58.800 --> 1:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Because why why were you so miserable? During that time?

1:19:02.760 --> 1:19:07.760
<v Speaker 9>I was young and maybe not clear on what happiness was.

1:19:08.080 --> 1:19:12.760
<v Speaker 9>I thought money was happiness, and it's like a band aid.

1:19:12.840 --> 1:19:16.600
<v Speaker 9>It's almost like a drug fix. It's just short term happiness.

1:19:16.920 --> 1:19:18.880
<v Speaker 9>So you finally get it, or you buy something you

1:19:18.920 --> 1:19:21.880
<v Speaker 9>want or do something you want, then it's over. It

1:19:21.920 --> 1:19:23.839
<v Speaker 9>wasn't true happiness, it was just stuff.

1:19:27.240 --> 1:19:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, if somebody is looking for peace out there,

1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:35.080
<v Speaker 2>what would you tell them?

1:19:35.120 --> 1:19:37.400
<v Speaker 14>I don't know if I'm the best person to give advice.

1:19:37.439 --> 1:19:40.200
<v Speaker 2>But well, look, you're peaceful in this very moment, and

1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>so I declare that to mean that you would be

1:19:43.000 --> 1:19:43.560
<v Speaker 2>good at giving me.

1:19:43.960 --> 1:19:47.880
<v Speaker 9>My advice would be do something you love every day

1:19:48.720 --> 1:19:51.960
<v Speaker 9>to start. And if you're not doing something that you

1:19:52.040 --> 1:19:56.880
<v Speaker 9>love or you're passionate about, you're you're on the wrong

1:19:57.000 --> 1:19:58.759
<v Speaker 9>path if you want to be happy.

1:19:59.040 --> 1:20:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I got I got this question for you. How'd you

1:20:02.400 --> 1:20:03.880
<v Speaker 2>know you were ready to become a father?

1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:06.920
<v Speaker 14>How well I know it is?

1:20:06.960 --> 1:20:11.000
<v Speaker 9>That's it's also an interesting question. My I was twenty

1:20:11.080 --> 1:20:14.559
<v Speaker 9>six when my first daughter was born, and I knew that.

1:20:14.560 --> 1:20:17.320
<v Speaker 14>I wanted to be a young father really and I

1:20:17.520 --> 1:20:18.960
<v Speaker 14>was so it was great.

1:20:19.640 --> 1:20:21.200
<v Speaker 2>How do you know you wanted to be a young father?

1:20:22.360 --> 1:20:24.840
<v Speaker 9>It's a deep question because I had such a shitty father,

1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.040
<v Speaker 9>so I thought I could do a better job and

1:20:28.080 --> 1:20:30.960
<v Speaker 9>I wanted to prove it and I did.

1:20:32.520 --> 1:20:36.040
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. Man, was it hard being a young father

1:20:36.040 --> 1:20:38.880
<v Speaker 2>because I'm I'm I'm twenty seven now and I.

1:20:39.680 --> 1:20:40.439
<v Speaker 14>Have little get gos.

1:20:40.560 --> 1:20:42.040
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I don't have kids, but I want I

1:20:42.080 --> 1:20:44.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have I don't have kids. But like when I imagine

1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have kids, but when I imagine, like you know,

1:20:47.600 --> 1:20:50.439
<v Speaker 2>my the the latter half of my life, I imagine

1:20:50.439 --> 1:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>wanting to have a family. But I'm like, I don't

1:20:52.680 --> 1:20:54.120
<v Speaker 2>know if but like if I if I had a

1:20:54.200 --> 1:20:57.080
<v Speaker 2>kid right now, I think that kid would be fucked.

1:20:57.600 --> 1:20:58.360
<v Speaker 14>You know why.

1:20:58.880 --> 1:21:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, just because it's like I don't feel

1:21:01.560 --> 1:21:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel ready right now, but.

1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:04.479
<v Speaker 14>I'm like responsible, get go.

1:21:05.320 --> 1:21:09.439
<v Speaker 2>I think like right now, like my right now, I'm

1:21:09.439 --> 1:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>like wrapped up in like my own life and figuring

1:21:12.000 --> 1:21:14.639
<v Speaker 2>out myself that like if you handed me a baby,

1:21:14.640 --> 1:21:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, oh shit, you know, but I don't know.

1:21:18.360 --> 1:21:20.280
<v Speaker 14>You don't want to be too old, you don't want

1:21:20.280 --> 1:21:20.559
<v Speaker 14>to be there.

1:21:20.640 --> 1:21:22.880
<v Speaker 9>Did you have any friends when you were younger that

1:21:23.000 --> 1:21:26.080
<v Speaker 9>had the old dad like he was like an old guy,

1:21:26.520 --> 1:21:27.240
<v Speaker 9>like an old man.

1:21:27.479 --> 1:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean my parents are in their like late sixties,

1:21:32.760 --> 1:21:37.040
<v Speaker 2>their sixties, my dad, yeah, my dad, my parents, everyone

1:21:37.040 --> 1:21:38.439
<v Speaker 2>in there, like mid late thirties.

1:21:38.560 --> 1:21:40.280
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, that's on that.

1:21:40.439 --> 1:21:44.400
<v Speaker 9>That's on the back end of I think of having

1:21:44.479 --> 1:21:47.240
<v Speaker 9>kids interesting. You know, you want to be able to

1:21:47.240 --> 1:21:49.320
<v Speaker 9>be the dad down on your hands and knees and.

1:21:49.439 --> 1:21:51.040
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, playing with the kids.

1:21:51.160 --> 1:21:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:21:51.560 --> 1:21:53.759
<v Speaker 14>I was just playing on the monkey bars with their grandson.

1:21:53.840 --> 1:21:54.600
<v Speaker 14>I still love it.

1:21:54.800 --> 1:21:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's awesome, man, But it was it must have

1:21:57.640 --> 1:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>been hard at twenty six.

1:22:00.920 --> 1:22:04.080
<v Speaker 14>No, I don't know it was. It was.

1:22:04.280 --> 1:22:07.479
<v Speaker 9>I considered it an accomplishment and I enjoyed it.

1:22:07.960 --> 1:22:08.479
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

1:22:08.520 --> 1:22:10.799
<v Speaker 9>And when I look back on it, I don't regret

1:22:10.840 --> 1:22:15.080
<v Speaker 9>that at all. I set out for that, I got that,

1:22:16.120 --> 1:22:17.320
<v Speaker 9>and I think it was good.

1:22:18.000 --> 1:22:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Do you do you regret anything?

1:22:20.120 --> 1:22:23.559
<v Speaker 9>I regret lots of things, tons of things I regret,

1:22:24.080 --> 1:22:26.599
<v Speaker 9>but I wouldn't give that up. I can't give it up.

1:22:27.479 --> 1:22:33.559
<v Speaker 9>I'm just happy now. It's great. Look at my wife's smiling. Okay,

1:22:33.600 --> 1:22:36.160
<v Speaker 9>she's happy too. Are we happy?

1:22:36.200 --> 1:22:36.679
<v Speaker 14>Every day?

1:22:38.040 --> 1:22:44.960
<v Speaker 9>I tell her every day? We got no.

1:22:43.280 --> 1:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>His wife, his wife. Just for people who can't hear

1:22:45.240 --> 1:22:47.160
<v Speaker 2>his wife just said, tell him about when the day?

1:22:47.280 --> 1:22:51.240
<v Speaker 9>When the Day's my motto years ago. My my one

1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:54.160
<v Speaker 9>daughter is heavy into it with me. Till at the

1:22:54.280 --> 1:22:56.680
<v Speaker 9>end of every day, I keep scoring to see if

1:22:56.720 --> 1:23:00.080
<v Speaker 9>I won the day, and what do I mean by winning.

1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>The What do you mean by winning the day?

1:23:01.880 --> 1:23:04.960
<v Speaker 9>Was I happy that day? Did I have a good day?

1:23:05.439 --> 1:23:09.040
<v Speaker 9>Did I feel good about myself? Did I accomplish things

1:23:09.040 --> 1:23:10.480
<v Speaker 9>I wanted to accomplish?

1:23:10.960 --> 1:23:12.160
<v Speaker 14>And was I happy?

1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:15.880
<v Speaker 9>As opposed to losing a day where at the end

1:23:15.880 --> 1:23:21.920
<v Speaker 9>of the day you're miserable, you're regretful, You're like, today sucked.

1:23:22.240 --> 1:23:23.479
<v Speaker 14>I don't want to do this again.

1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:26.760
<v Speaker 9>And it has nothing to do with money, because there's

1:23:26.800 --> 1:23:30.240
<v Speaker 9>been plenty of days where I'd make great money where

1:23:30.240 --> 1:23:33.320
<v Speaker 9>I lost the day where I was unhappy, but I

1:23:33.360 --> 1:23:35.920
<v Speaker 9>made a lot of money, I was unhappy. And there's

1:23:35.960 --> 1:23:38.960
<v Speaker 9>been plenty of days where I've lost money or made

1:23:39.000 --> 1:23:44.080
<v Speaker 9>no money and been happy with myself and my relationships

1:23:44.080 --> 1:23:46.519
<v Speaker 9>in my day. And at the end of the day,

1:23:46.560 --> 1:23:49.320
<v Speaker 9>I say to myself every night, did I win today?

1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:52.960
<v Speaker 9>And most days now I say, yeah, I won today.

1:23:53.640 --> 1:23:56.880
<v Speaker 9>My goal is to die with a winning.

1:23:56.600 --> 1:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Record where you won more days than you lost.

1:23:59.240 --> 1:23:59.320
<v Speaker 7>Right.

1:23:59.479 --> 1:24:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm still still behind.

1:24:01.840 --> 1:24:05.519
<v Speaker 9>Oh way behind. But I'm on a major wind streak.

1:24:06.600 --> 1:24:10.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm on a great dynasty type wind streak. But I've

1:24:10.400 --> 1:24:13.840
<v Speaker 9>got years to go to break even. Too many years

1:24:13.880 --> 1:24:18.160
<v Speaker 9>wasted on the wrong people, the wrong things, the wrong ideas,

1:24:19.080 --> 1:24:19.880
<v Speaker 9>wasted time.

<v Speaker 2>I'm saying that from my personal experience. It was great

1:25:36.600 --> 1:25:38.600
<v Speaker 2>talking to that guy because I don't know, if you

1:25:40.439 --> 1:25:43.439
<v Speaker 2>about all kinds of existential crazy bullshit. But isn't it

1:25:43.520 --> 1:25:45.720
<v Speaker 2>so cool? Doesn't it give you so much hope when

1:25:45.720 --> 1:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>you meet someone who's like I fucking kept fighting for

1:25:50.479 --> 1:25:54.080
<v Speaker 2>my fucking piece and I eventually found It took until

1:25:54.080 --> 1:25:57.960
<v Speaker 2>he was goddamn fifty three years old, but he found

1:25:57.960 --> 1:25:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the piece.

1:25:58.720 --> 1:25:59.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

1:25:59.240 --> 1:26:01.280

1:26:01.320 --> 1:26:05.360
