134
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,400

135
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: I always really feel like so much so much stuff

136
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: is like it's it's just about like the perspective that

137
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: you have on it and whether you're going to choose

138
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: to have fun and enjoy shit.

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: You know.

140
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,479

141
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: big believer like a lot of the regulars or maybe

00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But you know, it's like, what am I

Speaker 1: to like eat and do things, you know, so I

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: might as well do it with a little bit of pep.

165
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: Well how'd you meet your future husband?

166

00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: just got out of high school and both of our

170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: like friend groups were like just downloaded, it's fun. And

171
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: we were the first people that we met on Tinder

172
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and we just stopped there. We were like all right,

173
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: locked in.

174
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: Wow. So they so high school? So are you you're

175
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: like may you're like twenty seven.

176
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm actually twenty five.

177
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: Oh cool? Cool? Cool? What you say? So you say

178
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: you want to get out of mail potentially.

179
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well what did you go in? I want

180
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: to go back to ice cream. I really like serving

181
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: ice cream, but I got a job offer from my

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: father in law to do something way boring but it

183
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: pays more, you know, and it's a way high position

184
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: than I am now, and it's like a career that

185
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: I could do without busting my back. M. So it's

186
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: just like it's one of those things where I've worked

187
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, and I'm a believer in if

188
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: you don't like what you're doing, you're not gonna be happy,

189
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: so you might as well enjoy your job a little bit.

190
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: But like, this is a job that I guess I

191
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: could see myself doing, and everybody else says that I

192
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: will be great at it, but it's it's a computer job,

193
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not. I'm not with the technology these days,

194
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: you know. M.

195
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: What's your dream job? Like, if you could do anything,

196
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: If I could.

197
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: Do anything while I'd be back in my ice cream

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: truck serving ice cream all day. Yeah. Yeah. I I

199
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: served ice cream for five years and I loved it.

200
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: It was one of those jobs I got where I

201
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: was I was training dogs, and I was walking dogs,

202
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: and I was serving ice cream and that was like

203
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of my life, even though I was deadbeat, broke.

204
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: It was like the highlight of my existence serving us.

205
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: That's so cool. Why was Tell me more about why

206
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: was it the highlight of your existence?

207
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 5: Uh?

208
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Just it's really freeing. Like when we started the Softy

209
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: Company down here in the Bay Area, I started it

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: sort of with my boss. I was like the first

211
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: five employees we had down here, and we only had

212
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: like four trucks, so I was like in charge of

213
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: my own truck. Essentially. It was like my thing. I

214
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: cleaned it up, I took cre of it, that kind

215
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: of stuff. And it's really nice when I get to just,

216
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, drive around my neighborhood and wave and just smile,

217
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, and just hand out ice cream, you know.

218
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of times where we have like

219
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: events where it's like prepaid and there's nothing better than

220
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: looking someone dead in the face and going, it's free,

221
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: it's free ice.

222
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. You're like a hero of those people.

223
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. I'm like, no, it's free, and

224
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: they're like trying to pay me. I'm like, I'll take

225
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: tips you that twenty I will not argue. But the

226
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: ice cream itself is free, but it was really free.

227
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: You know.

228
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: I got to essentially do what I want within reason,

229
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: you know. And then on top of that, I get

230
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: to eat ice cream and then food trucks. Food trucks

231
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: will trade ice cream for food. So if I ever

232
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: want a burrito or anything, I just pull up to

233
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: the next food truck. Hey, you'ren't trade, They're usually down.

234
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: That's that's so, that's so funny. I was I a

235
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: couple nights ago. I shout out the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis.

236
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: I did a show there and they I went to

237
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: the concessions that the manager was like, you guys can

238
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: have whatever you want from the concession stand. And we

239
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: were so fucking stoked and we took popcorn and we

240
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: put mic and ikes and bunch of crunch in it,

241
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: and we were like so giddy, and we were like, yeah,

242
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: we've been traveling around doing like these crazy shows and

243
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: just nothing made us happier than like getting free shit

244
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: from the concession stand. You know, it's power. There's really

245
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: power in that. There's power in that.

246
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want to even now free step is

247
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: on the rise.

248
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: I want to take if anyone in the chat has

249
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: any questions for Angie. I want to take some questions

250
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: from the chat, if they if they have any Somebody

251
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: in the chat already somebody said, you can take Angie

252
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: out of the ice cream truck, but you can never

253
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: take the ice cream truck out of Angie.

254
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. That's an honor. Yeah, yeah, you truly cannot.

255
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: I can't live without it.

256
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: It's true. Yeah, I really I feel. I feel deep

257
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: ice cream truck energy within you.

258
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Even when I was doing ice cream, I

259
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: did the every day of October in a different costume,

260
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: and you'll pull up to the ice cream truck and

261
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: there'll be a clown in there or cow, and it's great.

262
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: Somebody wants to know it's your personal favorite ice cream flavor.

263
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Flavor out of all the flavors in the entire universe,

264
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: mint chocolate chip is my favorite. But like basics, it's vanilla.

265
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I gotta go Vanilla.

266
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: A couple of people want to know if you've ever

267
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: thought about starting your own ice cream truck, like going

268
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: entrepreneurial about it.

269
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I have, And I have a really beat

270
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: down old popsicle truck sitting in my driveway right now

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: currently on the mend really, but it's yeah, yeah, I dude, Lyle,

272
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: when I tell you I'm in ice cream, I'm into

273
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: ice cream. But it's like it's more work than it's

274
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: going to be worse for the next two years, you know,

275
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: like I just don't have it in the budget, you know.

276
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: But it's getting there.

277
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: It's getting there, Okay. I love I under I just

278
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: want you to know. I understand the idea of like

279
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: putting something off until you feel like it's just possible.

280
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: But I'm giddy at the idea of you starting your

281
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: own ice cream truck. I think that would be the

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: coolest thing ever.

283
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Thanks, Lyle. Yeah, no, when you when when I have

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: it up and running, they'll be Lyle stickers all over it.

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: Well you will. It be called Angie's because that is

286
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: a perfect name for an ice cream thing.

287
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Angie's. And then it's gonna have

288
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: like the little Angie's List star on the bottom.

289
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: You know, dude, please do that. That's so fucking cool.

290
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: So I mean not to keep going, but somebody said,

291
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: does she know how easy it is to get a

292
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: business loan from the government right now? You don't even

293
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: have to pay it back. I don't know if that's

294
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: true or not. Somebody I don't know if that's true

295
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: or not, but somebody in a Twitch chat did say that.

296
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: It's like it's like sort of true. I guess it

297
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: depends on the county you're in. Mike County has a

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: ton of small businesses and they're like looking at my

299
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: case quote unquote, you know, looking at my case.

300
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Someone said, well, what's the what do

301
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: you think is the worst ice cream chain?

302
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Ooh uh, it's either Baskin Robbins or Coldstone.

303
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: Really I love Coldstone? Why do you hit Coldstone?

304
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Coldstone is it's so good in like specific flavors,

305
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: but most of their stuff is like, uh, it's got

306
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: like freezer burn on it and it just doesn't hit right,

307
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: you know. Or like you go to one and there's

308
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: always some like cranky fifteen year old behind the counter.

309
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, dog, you literally an ice cream shop.

310
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: You need to have more pets, like.

311
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah yeah? Are you like, like, do you are

312
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: you very uh critical when you go when you have

313
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: your own ice cream experiences? Are you like this person's.

314
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, my my my boyfriend Scott loves

315
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: to like like shut me down because I'm like, behind

316
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: the counter going man, he's not really scooping that very sturdy.

317
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: I bet I could flip that conupside down. There's no

318
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: way he can like stuff like that. Like I'm always

319
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: My big thing too, is customer service. Because before I

320
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: did ice cream, I worked in a restaurant, and before

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: that I worked in a library, and before that I

322
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: worked for my parents. I did house cleaning and gardening,

323
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of stuff. But it's like, I'm

324
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: always customer service first, you know, because that's the face

325
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: you're putting out there. If you want something in return

326
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: or you're selling something, you should have at least have

327
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: like a good attitude or aura around.

328
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: You, you know. But well, well also mainly just because sorry, sorry,

329
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: say I want you to let you finish.

330
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, especially if someone's like miss mishandling stuff Like

331
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: if I feel like somebody putting scoopers back where they

332
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't be, I'm like, that's not food safety.

333
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: That's not good.

334
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: Well it's also I mean it got it's good for

335
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: it's good for you too, because if you're like upset

336
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: about what you're it, see, it seems to me like

337
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, just like good customer service and all that stuff.

338
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: Like for you personally, it seems like it gives you energy.

339
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, somebody asked. Somebody asked, what's the trick to

340
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: a perfect scoop?

341
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: So, if you're going ice cream scoop? You know that

342
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: like pretty ball that everybody tries to do, that's not it.

343
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: You want an oval, yeah you want to and yeah,

344
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: an oval shape like like an egg sort of you know,

345
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: you want sort of a point. That point goes into

346
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: your cone and that cone. I promise you can flip

347
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: it with three scoops on top, no problem. And then

348
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: if it's like a soft serve, it's all in the

349
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: cone fill, everything's in the cone steal. If your cone

350
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: is filled perfectly, then the rest of the cone is

351
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: set up, you know, perfect, Angie.

352
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: I want you to make this ice cream truck so badly.

353
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 3: Oh wow, when it happens, you will know, well, I

354
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: guess speaking of that, somebody in the chat did say,

355
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 3: and this this is totally up to you, but somebody

356
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 3: in the chat does want to know if you have

357
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: any plugs or socials or anything.

358
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: Somebody said, do you have any socials? So we can

359
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: watch this stream come to life only if you want,

360
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: only if you want random folks following yet to see,

361
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: if your dreams, if the truck comes to fruition.

362
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: All right, So if anybody wants to keep up, I

363
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: actually I'm not on the internet, like I have zero

364
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: social media, zero Instagram. I have zero. The only Instagram

365
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: I have is for my dog, and it's just because

366
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I want. I want him to have photos forever. You know,

367
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want a bazillion photos on my phone,

368
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: but I like taking pictures of him. Uh, that would

369
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: be the only thing. And then you guys, don't worry.

370
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,160

469
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what the l it is.

470
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 2: Okay, if you want to talk about it, so check

471
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: it out.

472
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 5: Seventeen right seventeen, I was in high school. My first

473
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 5: ever addiction was it was admirable, I believe.

474
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: It or not?

475
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I believe.

476
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

477
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 5: Are you familiar with how the stimulant works?

478
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Basically, you feel like you want to die and

479
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: you can't do anything right, and that you're never gonna

480
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: achieve anything at all, and you're gonna h everything. You're

481
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: basically you spiral and then you take a pill and

482
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: then you and then you all of a sudden get

483
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: flipped and you're like, oh my god, I can actually

484
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: do anything I ever want to do in my life

485
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: and everything's gonna be okay, and then you crash boom.

486
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 5: Right, That's exactly how it was going for me.

487
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 4: I'm uh.

488
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: I was a junior in high school and I was,

489
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: you know, going on to the SAPs and I was like,

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 5: all right, here we go, and I spiraled crazy. I

491
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 5: lost it and then you know, I was like, screw

492
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 5: that terrible, terrible to have and it wasn't really helping

493
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 5: my pockets. So I was like, instead of buying it

494
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: and using it, why not sell it and distribute it?

495
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 5: And so on eighteen, I just started pushing it. But

496
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 5: you know, that's not really an addiction. But to get

497
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 5: out of it, I started flipping shoes and I got

498
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: really addicted to selling shoes at eighteen. Man, you ever,

499
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 5: uh you ever heard about selling shoes at all?

500
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like the hype beast thing is that you call

501
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: that an addiction. It sounds like you're just you're being

502
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur.

503
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I was just addicted to shoes. Man,

504
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 5: you've you brought me any payer? Well, uh, what is

505
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 5: chatting about?

506
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 4: That? Is it? Is it an addiction?

507
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: If you just it doesn't even matter if you're making

508
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: money at that point, Well you're just pushing.

509
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, well what's what? What was nineteen.

510
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 4: Nineteen? I went to weed.

511
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, I was, I was having

512
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 5: my eyes with something that made me feel really up.

513
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 5: What's on the flip side? What don't make me feel

514
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 5: really low?

515
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 4: You know?

516
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: Sure?

517
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: So, I mean, you know, we it's it's one of

518
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 5: those things where you're either you know, you're really productive

519
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: on it and you're just someone who's like a superhuman

520
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 5: and I don't know.

521
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 4: How the hell these people do it.

522
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: Or you just start like spiraling and like I guess,

523
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: losing uh, losing control of everything in front of you.

524
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 5: You know, you just start wanting to change what kind

525
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 5: of person you are. You start looking at stuff like

526
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 5: marshmallows all day. You know, you start you start researching the.

527
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 4: Most random craft like hmm, what's what's a crazy one?

528
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: I remember I started looking at water and like pH

529
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: levels and like looking at different types of cups to

530
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: sip from.

531
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

532
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 5: I'm more of a of a of a horizontal like

533
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: short cup type of guy.

534
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 4: What kind of stuff do you like drinking?

535
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: Hold on, brother, I'm so confused right now because you

536
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: were talking about weed. Now you're talking about looking at

537
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: cups on the internet.

538
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: No, that's what I'm saying.

539
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 5: You like hyper fixate on anything.

540
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 4: Man.

541
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 5: It's like, I don't know what we does to me,

542
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: but I'm just like it just makes me really want

543
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 5: to learn about everything, and like everything just becomes really chill.

544
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 4: You know. It's like one of those.

545
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like I'll smoke weed and I'll look at

546
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: the instant I'll look at the Wikipedia page of subjectivity

547
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: and I'll be like, I'm gonna sit here and look

548
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: at the Wikipedia page, read the whole Wikipedia page on subjectivity.

549
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: But then I but then I get like, you know,

550
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: two sentences in and I go do something else. I mean,

551
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, is there hyperfixation? How long does it

552
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: stay on a track for it? Because mine is a

553
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: very EIGHTYHD. I'm I'm just going all around, driving in

554
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: circles around Wikipedia.

555
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 5: I'll go like forty five minutes to an hour if

556
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: a topic doesn't have me hooked and then I'll just

557
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 5: start pushing crazy if something's like got me going. Like

558
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 5: I remember at twenty, I just I dropped weed and

559
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, Crypto, you know, let me

Speaker 4: Well what was I addicted to? It?

563
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 5: Basically should coins just what everyone's doing now. I was like,

00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 5: oh my god, this is terrible. I'm losing all my

565
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 5: money left and right. I'm no longer in school now,

566
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 5: I'm like, all right, I went from computer science when

567
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 5: I was like eighteen to going into being an accountant afterwards.

568
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,040

571
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 5: worst addictions that I've had is definitely Crypto, just because

575
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: going into all these like degenerate shits, like you start

576
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 5: going on like all these degenerate plays. But after crypto

00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: in a year, and I've gambled my entire salary. I

581
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: went from zero to hero with this.

582
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: Did you go from zero to hero and back to zero?

583
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: Or are you still a hero?

584
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm actually breaking even right now, which

585
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: is crazy.

586
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: Okay, great, that's a good time to quit.

587
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm glad you brought that up so before

588
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,320

590
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 5: hitting it.

591

00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: Okay, well, here's here's here's I'm gonna stop you for

594
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: a second. Okay, Okay, so you've you've almost broken even,

595
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: is what you're saying.

596
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.

597
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 5: What I'm saying is I'm still above the water. I'm

598
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 5: still I'm like maybe like a grand a grand profit

599
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 5: right now?

600
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: Oh so why don't you? Why don't you quit now?

601
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 5: The goal is to just keep riding the wave, you

602
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: know what. Like, here's the thing. If I'm someone right

Speaker 2: Look, but.

605
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: If I'm someone who's able to just ride the waves,

606
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: and like, so far nothing bad has happened to me,

607
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 5: why not just keep going. There's there's definitely like there's

608
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: definitely like a I don't know, I feel like.

609
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 4: It's a sign or something. You know.

610
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: It's like I haven't I haven't really lost. I guess

611
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 5: the only what do you what?

612
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: What do you? What do you mean? What kind of sign?

613
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: What are you? A sign of? What?

614
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: I feel like it?

615
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 5: It's it's obviously not my thing.

616
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: Gambling isn't.

617
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: But I'm saying I feel like my sign is that

618
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 5: once I'm able to continue on something for a year

619
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: plus and and this is right now, is this has

620
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 5: all been negative?

621
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Right?

622
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 5: All these addictions have been pretty uh, I guess, uh,

623
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: spiraling right. I feel like once I find something that's positive,

624
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna ride that way for like ten years

00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 5: to accounting and after that, I'm like going on literally

637
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 5: the whole year of just going to work instead of

638
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: instead of going to school.

639
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,880

Speaker 2: but I'm interested in you. It's an interesting issue. So

643
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: you're trying to find you sound like you get you

644
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: get obsessed with things, like every year you have a

645
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: new thing that you're obsessed with. And you're like, all right,

646
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: I know that I get obsessed with stuff, so let

647
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: me at least find something to get obsessed with that's positive, right.

648
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: That's and then and then and you're and you're like,

649

Speaker 2: let me get let me see if I can land

650
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: the my crazy plane on a positive runway. And then

651
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: once I do, I'm gonna rock it down that runway

652
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: for for forever. This is what you're saying to me.

653
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing. I feel like, once you find

654
00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 5: something positive, you are you Definitely I had the waves longer,

655
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 5: because you know, it's like impacting you in a positive way,

656
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 5: like from fourteen to seventeen. I Uh, I had a

657
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 5: girlfriend in high school and uh, you know, like that

658
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 5: shit was just great, Like I remember like, you know,

659
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: it was all fucking rainbows and happiness and sunshine and shit.

660
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 4: Now at that's.

661
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 5: Gone, it's like, oh shit, you know, you're just you

662
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: start spiraling out of it, and that's uh, maybe that's

663
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 5: where it all started.

664
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: You know.

665
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: Maybe I just became like destructive ones once me and

666
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 5: the girl's lazy, you know what I mean.

667
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: But you feel like you became destructive once you broke

668
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: up with your girlfriend four years ago.

669
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be.

670
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: So tell me, I guess, tell me this. You're saying

671
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: that you want to land this plane on something positive,

672
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: right to get obsessed with what what ideas do you have?

673
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: What have you been leaning towards?

674
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: So, I you know, I guess I've noticed that every

675
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: time that I pick up something, it's always because I

676
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 5: started doing research on Reddit or something like. I've always

677
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: just been heavily focused on using my computer to find

678
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 5: out whatever it is I'm gonna do.

679
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so.

680
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: I guess maybe using my using my uh using my

681
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 5: computer or something good like, I don't know if that's

682
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 5: why I picked up coding like that was fun for

683
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 5: a while while last year. Yeah, Like, I don't know,

684
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 5: it's just with the current field that I'm in in work.

685
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 5: I haven't touched the computer in a while to like

686
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 5: make a program or anything.

687
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: So well, well let me tell you. Well, can I

688
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: just say this because this just popped into my brain.

689
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: I just want you to I want you to know something, Aaron,

690
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: You're not You're not insane. You're not insane. You're not insane.

691
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 2: And the reason I think you're not insane and maybe,

692
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm by the way, I'm insane, So

693
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: so me saying that you're not insane actually probably isn't

694
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 2: worth much because I'm only saying you're not insane because

695
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: I identify with your issue. But yet I am also insane,

696
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: So maybe you actually are insane. But what what I

697
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 2: The reason I said that is because the does Sometimes

698
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 2: I really feel like life is just uh you need

699
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: to distract yourself until you die, uh because if you don't,

700
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: you will slip into a pit of existential dread and

701
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: uh some and it's like you you can either really

702
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: distract yourself, well, most most people on Earth are distracting

703
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: themselves with their own survival. That's like most people. And

704
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: then if you are fucking lucky, if you're a blessed

705
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: lucky human being. Survival doesn't doesn't isn't the main thing

706
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: that's distracting you from the void. And if you're that lucky,

707
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 2: you can be distracted from the void through your relationships

708
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: like this girlfriend you were talking about, or through passions,

709
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: a career that you chose or whatever, like like the

710
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 2: fucking sneakers, or you distract yourself, or you distract yourself

711
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: with drugs and getting high all the time and doing

712
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: getting drunk all the time. But yeah, the struggle that

713
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: you're having of like I need to distract myself with

714
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: something or else I will go my my idle hands

715
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: will reach for the nearest fucking gun. And yeah, maybe

716
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: not that far, but but you know what I mean,

717
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: Like you just will just go insane, You'll go crazy. So, yes,

718
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: I understand the whole, the whole. I'm getting a d

719
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: You're framing it like it's such a crazy thing to

720
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: need something for your brain to land on, for you

721
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: to not not want to kill yourself. But it makes sense,

722
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: So I get you. I'm in the same boat as that,

723
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: and I think I think it's true, and I want

724
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: you to hold that thought for a second, but I

725
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: think I'm just in my personal experience with this, and

726
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: I'm I'm also you know, the the idea of like, Okay,

727
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: let me at least find something that's good, that's not

728
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: gonna drive me crazy, that's not gonna cause me to

729
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: lose all my fucking money, that's not gonna cause my

730
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: health to shoot into the fucking gutter. Yeah, you have

731
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: a you're on a certain I think that makes sense

732
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: to try to take all this energy and putting into

733
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: something else, but something that's good. So what were you

734
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: gonna say?

735
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: Man? You lost me.

736
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 5: Those are beautiful words. I lost my thought going on

737
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 5: to that though.

738
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: Man, it's.

739
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: Why I was talking and you said, I hold on,

740
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: I was talking and you said, you know, you said

741
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: you said to me, You're like, you know what it is,

742
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: you know what it is, And then you're gonna say something,

743
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 2: you know what it.

744
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 4: Is, you know what it is. It's that, Uh. I think.

745
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 5: Throughout all the drugs that I've taken, throughout all the

746
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: you know girls that I've talked to, whatever it is,

747
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 5: it's the the addictions that I claim to have that

748
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 5: like I guess you said weed was really an addiction,

749
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: and like searching for something positive isn't always an addiction.

750
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if I said weed isn't an addiction,

751
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: but go ahead, keep going.

752
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 5: Throughout throughout the space. I've noticed that, like, I guess

753
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 5: I just became like, well, I went from being like

754
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 5: a shooting star. You know, I really patted myself on

755
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 5: the back at seventeen for having like a I think

756
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 5: it was like a one hundred and thirty four i Q.

757
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, I was some fucking I'm I'm somewhat smart, right,

758
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,479
Speaker 5: I'm I'm someone half smart. I have somewhat of a brain.

759
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: From from being a shooting star to now, like you know,

760
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 5: just living a regular life.

761
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: You know, at one.

762
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 5: Point with the shoe that I was making like a

763
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: good I think it was like eighty ninety grand from

764
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 5: being a shooting star making some decent money. Yeah, and

765
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 5: now just like feeling burnt out. I feel like the

766
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 5: distractions has helped me along the way to, like I

767
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 5: guess remind myself that, like I could have it way worse,

768
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 5: you know. I feel like, yeah, maybe know just being

769
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 5: burnt out, maybe just taking losses along the way, shaping

770
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 5: myself back up being a regular person. Yeah, maybe maybe

771
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 5: it was for the better man.

772
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I think so too. That's that's

773
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 2: the journey I'm on right now, is I'm I just don't.

774
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't, But I don't know if this is resonates

775
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: with you or if it's what we're talking about. But

776
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: I've I've I just finished my uh final like tour,

777
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: and I've been running around for two years trying to

778
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: distract myself from uh, you know, existential thought and whatnot.

779
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: And I'm also it's been very high highs and low lows.

780
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 2: And I'm also like, let me just kind of keep

781
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: get things normal, get things on a steady chill, not

782
00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: crazy pace. Okay, is that is that? Did I interrupt

783
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: what you were saying to talk about something completely random

784
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: or does that make sense?

785
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 5: No, it makes sense that you've had high highs and

786
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 5: low lows, but you just like cut yourself off.

787
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: Made sense?

788
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: Oh? Sorry? Oh I thought I thought I finished that thought. Shit,

789
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: what the fuck were we talking? What were we talking about?

790
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 5: Being burnt out?

791
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, yes, yes, being burnt out. Yes, being burnt out,

792
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: and yes I feel burnt out. And now I'm just like,

793
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, I know, I don't know. Man, I

794
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: wish I had fucking answers for you, but this, uh,

795
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't at all. I don't at all.

796
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: I think I think. I mean, you're twenty to your

797
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: you're you've got uh I'm like five six years older

798
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: than you something like that, and I'm feeling pretty burnt out.

799
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: And it's like, if you're feeling burnt out, now, maybe

800
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: cut yourself a little bit of a break and step

801
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,479
Speaker 2: back and try to approach it, approach this a little

802
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 2: more patiently, I suppose.

803
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 5: Man, I'm not. I'm not one for patience. I think

804
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 5: that's that's part of the issue.

805
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: I've definitely like, if if that's your wiring, go ahead,

806
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: just don't don't hurt yourself or other people or or

807
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: lose all your money. Just just I think it's okay.

808
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: I think it's okay for you to be uh, be

809
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 2: a be a crazy guy and and and and do

810
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, go ham and do your crazy stuff, but

811
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: just be careful a little bit. Have have a couple

812
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: of of uh, you know, rules in place, you know,

813
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: don't you know what I mean? Like like like, it's okay,

814
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: it's okay to be obsessed with things and keep keep

815
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: going down following your obsessions. But don't don't kill anyone,

816
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: including you know, don't yourself. Don't do anything too fucking crazy.

817
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's tough. But I gotta ask about the tour.

818
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 5: So did you take any drugs on the tour?

819
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: Sure? Yeah, not like every day?

820
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: Not every day? Damn.

Speaker 2: I was just in Europe and uh, me and my

825
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: buddy David, who went with me, we were sitting in

826
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: our hotel room, uh eating Mike and Ikes, were just

827
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: eating a bunch of mic and Ikes, and we were like,

828
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: we were like, man, people people people keep people are

829
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: People are like, oh, tour must be so crazy, and

830
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: it's just us in twin beds eating Mike and Ikes.

831
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: I mean I did cocaine once, but just a little bit.

832
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: It wasn't that crazy though, it was. It's whatnot. It

833
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: wasn't that. It's not that crazy. It's more it's like

834
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: it's like one time doing that and then most nights

835
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 2: just eating drinking a Coca cola at night. I don't

836
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: usually drink it. I don't usually drink them at night

837
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: because there's too much caffeine.

838
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 5: Man, we are on different boats. I I guess that's

839
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 5: the one that I never beat.

840
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 4: Caffeine.

841
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 5: That was like since I was like three four years old.

842
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 5: My grandma gave me like a cup of coffee and

843
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 5: a pizza bread, and I've just been running with it

844
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 5: ever since, you know, drinking coffee every day. But I

845
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 5: think that's the one thing that I'll never do. And crazy,

846
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 5: you know, I've fucking I've been on LSD seen my

847
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 5: fucking future and shit fucking crazy.

848
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: Obviously it's you said you said you saw your future

849
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: on LSD.

850
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's well, you know, it's you're you're hallucinating,

851
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 5: so it's not one hundred percent.

852
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 4: But I saw some pretty crazy shit.

853
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 5: Like I saw myself basically like living.

854
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 4: In a.

855
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 5: It was like a high rise or something with my

856
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: feet like like I was like sitting down a little

857
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 5: like deck looking over the city.

858
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 4: Of Chicago because that's where I'm from. Like just.

859
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 5: Like and I woke up and I was like, oh shit,

860
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 5: Like it started off with me, you know, just closing

861
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 5: my eyes and I was loosening just seeing ship. And

862
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 5: then I wake up hours later and I was like, oh, shit,

863
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 5: like it was like this hallucination was just like it

864
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 5: also just expended into a dream and like seeing ship

865
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 5: like that, Like it's like, how do I put this?

866
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 5: Like basically seeing what a hallucination version of my life

867
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 5: would have been and then going back to like just

868
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 5: being a burnt out star. I was like, either I

869
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 5: fixed my.

870
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,239

00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 2: gonna let you finish and then I'll.

872
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 5: Okay being on that like bright bright star, being like,

873
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 5: you know, fucking pushing myself to the limits, hat holding

874
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 5: myself up to high standards and being in the one

875
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 5: percent of amongst my peers, like I guess financially and educationally,

876
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 5: so now fucking losing it all and basically like feeling

877
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,200

00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 5: get their bachelors and ship, like seeing seeing the difference

881
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 5: in life among the years where I kind of, you know,

882
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 5: just spiraled out. It's kind of like blowing. It's kind

883
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 5: of like fucking with my head where I'm like I

884
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 5: can either make that hallucination true, or I just fucking

885
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,600

Speaker 2: what you what you just said? If I can't, what's up?

889
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 4: What up? Go for it?

890
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: A few of them and by the and also by

891
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: the way, my hypocrites. So everything I'm telling you, I'm

892
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: just telling myself because I struggle with a lot of

893
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: these things too. Is one is that these what just

894
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the greatest poison is comparing yourself to other people,

895
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: especially when you're young, just being you know what I mean,

896
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 2: being like, oh, my friends are graduating and I'm doing

897
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: It's like who gives a who fucking cares what anyone

898
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: else is doing? It was number one and then two

899
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: is like this, You're you're You're playing a crazy game

900
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: with yourself right now.

901
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 4: Man.

902
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: You're like, You're like, oh, either I either I need

903
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: to be in the top one percent financially of everyone

904
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: in my age group and I need to you know,

905
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 2: uh uh uh uh fucking have a have a super

906
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 2: successful whatever, or I lost it all and I suck

907
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 2: and I need to die. It's like, well, don't that's

908
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: too much. That's too much. There's too much. And also,

909
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 2: by the way, a lot of those things don't matter.

910
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 2: I've learned this because I've been there, and now I'm

911
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: looking back at things kind of retroactively, and I'm like, oh,

912
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff I thought matter doesn't matter.

913
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 2: There's a few things that matter. And it's like, are

914
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: you when you wake up? Are you do you feel

915
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: sane and happy? And are you are you are you

916
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: genuinely enjoying whatever it is you're about to go do?

917
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: And then two, are you around other people who you

918
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 2: like and make you and don't make you feel like

919
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 2: you're alone?

920
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 4: You know?

921
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 2: Those are really the two things that I've identified matter

922
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 2: because you can because everything else isn't really a road

923
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 2: to anywhere, right, Like, like, you could have the most

924
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: successful sneaker company ever, you could be the kingpin of sneakers.

925
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: But if you don't if you don't actually care about

926
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: selling sneakers, if you don't care about the process of

927
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: selling your sneakers, and and if you've made enough money

928
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: and now you're just making more just because I what

929
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: are you even doing?

930
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 5: Just you know, show No, I'm not even at sneakers.

931
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 5: I ended up losing at all. They long story short,

932
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 5: there's a way you can sell your sneakers where you

933
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 5: put them in different sneakers stories around the country, and

934
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 5: once they sell it, they take us like pen ten

935
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 5: percent and they give you back your money. A whole

936
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 5: bunch of stories during COVID just kind of ran off

937
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 5: with everyone's money and I lost that, so I had

938
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 5: to build up my money again by working. But that

939
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 5: that whole comparison party about, you know, just being an

940
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 5: extremist and having comparison just like deeply engraved into me.

941
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 5: I think.

942
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

943
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 5: I think I've just been kind of like always drilling

944
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 5: that into my head to kind of be wanting to

945
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 5: be the very best, like fucking ash catch like it's

946
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 5: just it's part of I guess, just well do it.

947
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: Just do me a favorite. And I actually think I

948
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 2: don't want to discount that fully because I don't think

949
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: ambition is inherently bad. I don't. But just just do

950
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 2: me when you when you when you will. I can't

951
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: do this for you, but like take a second, whether

952
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: it's today or tomorrow, just really sit down and journal

953
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: or meditate and just be like take that that that

954
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 2: thing of like I gotta be the best and take

955
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 2: your ambition and throw it on the table and go, okay,

956
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: in what and be honest with yourself and go in

957
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 2: what arenas has this thing made my life better? And

958
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 2: then in what arenas has this thing made my life worse?

959
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: And try to be honest with yourself about the answers

960
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: to that, and then see see what you find it

961
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 2: could be helpful information.

962
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that. I just.

963
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 5: I guess off of that, you pick out what areas

964
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 5: of life you'd like to focus on, and then you

965
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 5: start pushing towards those general categories more and building up

966
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 5: something positive.

967
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 2: Right, Oh well, I guess so well, like one other thing,

968
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 2: one another thing before or just what is the whole

969
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: the whole concept of you lost everything? Just so you know,

970
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 2: is that whatever is inside of you that was able

971
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 2: to create anything in the first place is no no

972
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 2: one can ever take that away from you. That can't

973
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 2: be lost. That's like, that's the only thing you truly

974
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: even have. And so when you think you've lost everything,

975
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 2: you you really haven't because you're a young guy and

976
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: you have the you have whatever it is that caused

977
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 2: you to ever have anything in the first place. So, uh,

978
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, don't don't forget that.

979
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

980
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 2: Well don't don't do cocaine. I always said I did cocaine,

981
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: but don't do it. I didn't even do that much.

982
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 5: Look that's an upper man you. It was so bad

983
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 5: off admile man. I'm telling you, it was so bad

984
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 5: that I'm just like, coke is just a whole nother

985
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 5: drag and I never want to ride.

986
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 4: On you know what I mean?

987
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 2: Like that, Yeah, well I do you can? I just

988
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 2: drink celsius. That that's my that's like my mini at

989
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: a role.

990
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 5: It's awesome, And celsius is nothing. I remember, like, like

991
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 5: I'm telling you. The caffeine thing, it's actually the one

992
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 5: that I'm trying to fight right now, is actually like

993
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 5: a month a month and a half of the caffeine.

994
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 5: But right before I decided this, I remember I was

995
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 5: doing like maybe like four three cels three celsius a day.

996
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you have you have no idea, You

Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good call. I like talking to

1023
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 2: that guy. Uh, It's it's cool. It's cool when I

1024
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 2: like doing this because it's fun. It's fun listening to

1025
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: other people trying to figure out life, and I kind

1026
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 2: of get to in this one little moment sort of

1027
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: talk talk with them about figuring it out. Yeah, I

1028
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 2: don't know. I really do feel that way sometimes. I

1029
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: really do feel that way sometimes that like we're just

1030
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 2: I'm just I just need to distract myself, even like

1031
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: beautiful things like uh, like you're like relationships with people

1032
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 2: that you care about and passions that are meaningful, they're

1033
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 2: all I guess there are you. They're just distractions that

1034
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: you need. You need distractions or else you're gonna go

1035
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 2: and go completely insane. So I don't think that well,

1036
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 2: I guess what I heard from Aaron as I heard

1037
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 2: a guy who was looking for something to get into

1038
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: so that you can. I don't know when it comes

1039
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 2: to like it just I'm speaking purely of my own experience.

1040
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: When it comes to like depression and anxiety, I'm like,

1041
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm I'm always you're always running away from it. Hey,

1042
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I'm trying to deal with it,

1043
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: but I'm always you're running away from it, and you can.

1044
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 2: There's healthy ways to run away from it, like through

1045
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 2: building positive relationships and uh passions and hobbies and things

1046
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 2: that keep you grounded in real life. And then there's

1047
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: of course uh fentanyl and uh uh mike and ice.

1048
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 2: But I hopefully you find something and then you do okay,

1049
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 2: and then uh you die surrounded by dogs, and and

1050
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 2: that was it. I hope, I hope, I hope I

1051
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 2: made any amount of sense rambling just now. And and

1052
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: let's and and let's take another call. Hey man, what's

1059
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 2: things you ever do with your entire life. You've taken

1060
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,960

00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 7: going to the gym, working out stuff like that. So

1077
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,560

00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 7: the like the like the loneliness of it, like going

1079
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 7: in by yourself, scared of making friends and stuff. But

1083
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,560

1085
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 7: it didn't work out and then you're in the military

1086
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 7: by yourself.

1087
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 2: So I have to add I I think that's a

1088
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 2: bad reason to join the military, right, right do you

1089
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: have if your girlfriend were not in that unit and

1090
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: you were going in alone, would you still want to talk?

1091
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 7: See that's where because like it's like right now, I

1092
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 7: worked at like h org at the gas station, and

1093
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,959
Speaker 7: I don't know, it's just getting it's getting. Uh what's

1094
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 7: the word monotonous? Sure, I think it's the word, or

1095
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 7: like I just wake up, come to work, go home,

1096
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 7: or go to the gym, then go home.

1097
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're looking you're looking to spice up. Yeah, you're

1098
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 2: looking to spice things up? Yeah, why did you? Is that?

1099
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 4: Ok?

1100
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: Here's the thing with the military is like you have

1101
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: to sign a little contract where it's like they kind

1102
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: of right. Yeah, that's what that's the big thing I

1103
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: don't like about it.

1104
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1105
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 7: No, that's that's what's always kept me from doing it,

1106
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 7: because it's like, oh, man, you know, I signed this

1107
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 7: piece of paper and that's it, and there is no

1108
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 7: Well I don't want to do it no more.

1109
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah tick backs no, Yeah, twenty twenty is a little

1110
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: young to I mean, look, here's the thing I'm not

1111
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 2: gonna I've I have a friend who joined the military,

1112
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 2: and it's he's had a really positive experience. And you know,

1113
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: I've talked to people on this show who've had positive

1114
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 2: experiences joining the military and conversely people who've had horrible

1115
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 2: experiences joining the military. But I think, again, it's it's

1116
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 2: one of those sort of individual decisions. And if you're

1117
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: only if your only thing is well, my girlfriend's in it,

1118
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: I think that's a bad thing.

1119
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 7: Yeah no, I mean so like she tells me, so

1120
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 7: she's been in there for a little bit, and you know,

1121
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 7: she'll tell me about like what she does and stuff,

1122
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 7: and like, you know, it comes back to the like

1123
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 7: her life in the military seems so much more interesting

1124
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 7: than it does cleaning up shit after truckers, you know

1125
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 7: what I mean.

1126
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's let's get into that. What is it

1127
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: about her life in the military that's exciting to you?

1128
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 7: I don't know, like being around a bunch of people

1129
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 7: kind of all doing the same thing. Yeah, they get

1130
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 7: in Like I love I love working out. Being in

1131
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 7: the gym is a big part of like just what

1132
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 7: I really enjoyed doing. Yeah, and you know they do

1133
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 7: that as like things like they do that as a job.

1134
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 7: They travel, and it just seems just like that's just

1135
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 7: that's that's really cool, you know.

1136
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 2: Cool. So look, here's what I would say is you

1137
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: have these you don't expressly want to join the military,

1138
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: but you expressly want to. You've ident this is good,

1139
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 2: You've identified like, Okay, I want to be around other people,

1140
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 2: I want something that's communal, I like things that I

1141
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 2: like being physically active, and I want to travel. And

1142
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 2: I would I would I would write those three things

1143
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 2: down and I would be like, let's come up with

1144
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 2: some ideas that are just joining the military where you

1145
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 2: can kind of fulfill those goals because those are I mean,

1146
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things you can do under the

1147
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 2: umbrella of those three things that aren't just joining the military.

1148
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Have you thought about that.

1149
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, it just seems it seems very uh.

1150
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 7: I guess, like I don't know how to put it.

1151
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 7: Like I just like when I try to think of

1152
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 7: something like you know what I could do, I pull blanks,

1153
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 7: you know, like, Okay, I'm not sure.

1154
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to expressly dissuade you from

1155
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 2: it because now that now that you have identified three

1156
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 2: things that aren't just the fact that your girlfriend's in there,

1157
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: how long how long do you have to sign y'all

1158
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 2: your your life away for?

1159
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 7: So I think it's like it's like five years of

1160
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,439
Speaker 7: like on, yeah, on, like like you're working, you're doing

1161
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 7: military stuff, and then I think it's another like three

1162
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 7: years of like, yeah, hey, if World War three happens,

1163
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 7: we're coming to get you. You're coming with us, and

1164
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 7: they're gonna, oh.

1165
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 2: My god, they want you for eight years.

1166
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's typically they want god.

1167
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, you can look, brother, you could find a

1168
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 2: better job to just work outside, you know, what I'm saying.

1169
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is good though.

1170
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: This is you've identified uh three things that you want

1171
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 2: out of your life. Mm hmmm, Uh are you have

1172
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 2: you have you sort of really tried to brainstorm other

1173
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 2: things that could satisfy that, but that aren't just signing

1174
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 2: an eight year contract.

1175
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1176
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 7: No, I've always like I've always like thought about so,

1177
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 7: like I got a bunch of buddies. They like the

1178
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 7: gym too, and we've always like said that we would

1179
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 7: want to like, uh like start a gym up and

1180
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 7: like just on our own gym because like in my mind,

1181
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 7: that sounds like that way I could be. I'd be

1182
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 7: around people that work out, I'd be making money off

1183
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 7: of it.

1184
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 2: Uh cool.

1185
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 7: Like anytime I would have like friends or something come

1186
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 7: to the gym with me for the first time, I've

1187
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 7: always like it. It It made me feel good to

1188
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 7: like teach them something that I've been doing for a

1189
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 7: long time and helping them reach their goal. That sounds

1190
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 7: you know, I like that, But it's a that's I

1191
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 7: feel like, that's like starting up a gym. That's just

1192
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 7: something you know, I'm twenty, I ain't got a whole

1193
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 7: lot of money, you know.

1194
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, how that like, can you become

1195
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 2: a personal trainer?

1196
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 7: I've looked into it, but it seems like there's like

1197
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 7: a lot of uh like you gotta like.

1198
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 4: A lot of them.

1199
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 7: Is like you got to like go to college and

1200
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 7: be like uh like good with uh like you know,

1201
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 7: on the specifics and stuff like I don't know.

1202
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 2: How about a having that thing much? How about like

1203
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 2: being being like a firefighter.

1204
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 7: You know, I've definitely I'll put thought into that, but uh,

1205
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,479
Speaker 7: i'd have to stop smoking. That's one of the few

1206
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 7: things that kind of stopped me from doing that.

1207
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 2: But weed or cigarettes, uh we oh, I don't think

1208
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 2: it's a terrible idea to stop smoking weeds.

1209
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 7: No, No, it's it's not.

1210
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Well, definitely, go ahead.

1211
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 4: You go ahead.

1212
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 7: No, I've definitely thought about being a firefighter, but it's

1213
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 7: always what's always worried me about that is just like

1214
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 7: the like the pay and stuff, which I know you're

1215
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 7: not supposed to worry about pay. I guess, you know,

1216
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 7: you know, but like I kind of live. I still

1217
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 7: live with my parents right now, which is you know,

1218
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 7: it's good, you know, I don't I don't have to

1219
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 7: pay bills or nothing really, so that's you know, it's

1220
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 7: always good to save my mind, but you know, eventually

1221
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 7: I kind of want to I'm wanting to move out,

1222
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 7: try to get an apartment.

1223
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: M hm, well, he like here, I guess. Here's what

1224
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 2: I would say is if hopefully, if you gleaned anything

1225
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 2: from the phone call, it's like you've identified three things

1226
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 2: that you want is to work outside, be around other people,

1227
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: and uh, travel, And I would say I'm a big

1228
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 2: fan of like kind of doing away with commitments to vessels,

1229
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, Like, like the military is just

1230
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: a vessel for these underlying desires that you have. And

1231
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: I believe that there's there's a multiple different vessels that

1232
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 2: you perhaps haven't thought about yet that could fulfill those

1233
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: underlying desires. So I wouldn't I wouldn't laser focus in

1234
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 2: on the one vessel that you've identified that require is

1235
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:05,200
