Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, Hi. What is your name?

00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 2: My name's Eric.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Eric. Where are you calling from? Eric? I see a

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: bizarre area code.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm calling from Austria.

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Austria. Austria is kind of like, it's kind of like

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: a low key Germany, right because Germany, Germany became high

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: key because they did all that World War two stuff,

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: and Austria is still a little germany Ish, but it's

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: not as high key because they didn't do that. Is

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: that true?

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Is that?

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Am I talking crazy?

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: Kind of? But Hitler was actually Austrian, so be kind.

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Of really Yeah, well Hitler was Austrian, yeah, I thought.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: But his whole thing was like Germany is going to

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: take over the world and like German supremacy. So why

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: would he go from Austria to Germany and then be like, yeah,

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: German's rock and then was not was did one guy

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: not be like, hey aren't you You're not even German?

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: When he was young, he tried to be an artist

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: and he failed at the University of Jenna, I think,

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: and then he went to Germany to yeah, I get

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: into politics. He took over Austria too, like Austria back

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: then was a part of Germany.

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: I think so yeah, okay, I'm on Wikipedia. Adolf Hitler

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: was an Austrian born German politician. Okay, that makes sense. Germany, Okay, like, look,

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: be honest with me here about this and tell me. Yeah,

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: are Germany and Austria kind of the same thing, I.

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Guess for the rest of the world kind of, but

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: here we definitely seasion differences, like yeah, Austria Austrian's talk

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: a little bit different. Yeah, it's just.

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is kind of I mean, I guess

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: this is kind of like if like some Canadian dudes

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: came down to America and he was like, He's like,

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: America's number one, We're gonna make it the best thing.

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: It's like, well, why do you give I thought you

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: were Canadian?

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of love to the Canadian US.

Speaker 1: Well as as I say often on this show. Enough

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,040

Speaker 2: Yeah? I guess you could say, like just like until

93
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: I found my girlfriend like two years ago. Was yeah,

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: just dealing throughout my teen ures with a lot of

95
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: mental health issues and drug use and stuff like that,

96
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,320

99
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Very cool. How long were you, I mean, I don't know,

100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to talk about any

101
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: of this stuff. You don't have to if you don't

102
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: want to, But were you, like, how long were you

103
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: struggling with that stuff before before you began your quiet life?

104
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: I guess like all start back when I was fourteen fifteen,

105
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: troubles at home, Yeah, trying drugs and just hanging out

106
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: with different people a big I had a big friend circle.

107
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: I feel like it was like kind of like family,

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: and we just went through everything together. I guess a

109
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: lot of bad times, but yeah, and this whole friend

110
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: circle kind of broke apart when like major events happened.

111
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: And since then, I'm more alone, but I actually enjoy it.

112
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: It's more peaceful and I can't take much more care

113
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: of myself. M So that happened there like three years ago,

114
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: I think so, ah, six years I struggled pretty much.

115
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: What's you say?

116
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: You feel like it's interesting to me because I don't know.

117
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I've been thinking that. I always feel like the point

118
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: of life is to, like, I guess, have as many

119
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: like relationships and human connections as possible. I don't know

120
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: if that's the entire point of life. And everyone's a

121
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: little bit kind of like wired differently in that regard

122
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: in terms of how much human interaction they want to have.

123
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: And for some people, you know, that stuff energizes them.

124
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: For other people, it exhausts them. And you're telling me

125
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: you're feeling like, uh, you know, life without the big

126
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: group of folks, you know, just kind of hanging out

127
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: with your girlfriends, you're feeling you're feeling happier and better

128
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: that way.

129
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I still struggle with like loneliness. It's

130
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: more like a lack of community, I think, And it's

131
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: I live in a more rural part here, so it's

132
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: not not that I would say, yeah, everyone knows everyone,

133
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: and so I feel like I'm kind of done here,

134
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: like also socially wise. So that's also a big reason

135
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: why I want to go travel and meet new people,

136
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: maybe find a community.

137
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: I'll fit in.

138
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm also open to moving somewhere else,

139
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: because I got a desire to to meet new people.

140
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, and like you said, I still have a

141
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: big wish for community and people I can connect to.

142
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: I just like that here a lot. But it's also

143
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: I also see the positive, I guess because yeah, like

144
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: I said, I could take the time and the energy

145
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: to focus more on myself in the time I really

146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: needed it.

147
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I feel you man. I'm trying to

148
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: do I'm trying to do stuff like that too, you know,

149
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: form a form you know. I mean, I got, I got,

150
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: I got a whole internet thing, but I'm trying to

151
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: form a little bit more, you know, local community. I

152
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: think that stuff is important. Where where is all? Where

153
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: all is on your travel list?

154
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: We want to start, like go go east from central Europe,

155
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: start in Georgia, like India, Nepal, Thailand, Philippines, maybe Korea,

156
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: and also some some places and American continent, I guess,

157
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: like Canada. I want to I want to look at

158
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: I'm not too quite sure about the US, but also

159
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: Central and Latin America.

160
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Why are you? Why are you not too sure about

161
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: the United States?

162
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like it's so big and

163
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't I can't really figure out where to go.

164
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, it is a little big. It is is

165
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: a little big. I mean, I don't know this. You

166
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: could just pick a place you can go to Asheville,

167
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I don't know if you'll have a good time,

168
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: but you can go there.

169
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm gonna go Ashville, North Carolina.

170
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Where do you what? What do you do for work?

171
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: Do you have like a remote gig? What's the what's

172
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: what's that whole thing?

173
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm a social worker.

174
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay, do you work online or do you like?

175
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: How how are you gonna?

176
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: I work at a homeless shelter, m so it'sficult to

177
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: do that remote.

178
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Tell me about Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

179
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess there's some opportunities where you can work

180
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: social work online. I haven't looked into it too much.

181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Tell me about the working at the homeless shelter. What's that?

182
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 4: Like?

183
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: I always say, like, I think it kind of cured

184
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: me too, Like I started with the fashion and stuff

185
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: and just seeing I worked there like for two or

186
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: three years now. I worked during my education to a

187
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: few of my studies and yeah, I feel like just

188
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: meeting those people and they still all got hope and

189
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: smile on the face every day, but still lost everything,

190
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: And that's really inspiring. And yeah, kind of cured me

191
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: from being sad about stuff I was said about. I think.

192
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Interesting. So when you so you're working at the homeless

193
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: shelter and like the you're telling you're telling me the

194
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: morale is better than one might expect.

195
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: I guess so yeah you could say it and h interesting.

196
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you can touch a little bit more

197
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: on that, because yeah, that sounds like a big, a

198
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: big perspective shift of some kind. Like, so people, So

199
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: why do you think that that these people are able

200
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: to have a you know, still smile and still be

201
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, happy despite their situation, Like what do you

202
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: what do you? What do you? What do you think

203
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: considering like what you've observed, what you've heard from talking

204
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: to them.

205
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing is when I'm meeting them, they're usually

206
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: getting helped in some form or another, like getting bad,

207
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: getting food, getting some money. So I guess when I

208
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: meet them at our institution, they're like more a thankful

209
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: mood and just appreciate a little help they get instead

210
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: of outside, they pretty much receive a lot of Yeah,

211
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: they're just stigmatized and yeah, they are literally on the

212
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: edges of our society. Yeah, and I think they just

213
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: it's like we also have like a meeting point for

214
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: the for the scene, so I feel like, yeah, it's

215
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: just a positive place for them to to some Yeah,

216
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: like we mentioned earlier, community and and guess some of

217
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: their basic needs fulfills and that's positive thing I guess

218
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: for them. But also yeah, I guess if they would

219
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: lose their hope, there's there's not much reason to live

220
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: anymore for most of them. A lot of them are depressed,

221
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: but you can really feel that they have big hopes

222
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: and always tell themselves it's getting better, and yeah, that's

223
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: really good inspiring.

224
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. How do you feel How do you feel

225
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: like that influenced your your perspective on your own life?

226
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah, just just be thankful for what I got,

227
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, I really started to appreciate the things

228
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: I have way more and I often just ask myself,

229
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: it's a really reason to be not happy right now?

230
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: We're not thankful and most of the time there there

231
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: isn't really a reason. So yeah, that that. Yeah, that

232
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 2: kind of stuck with me.

233
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: What's the is there? Like, what what's what's the homeless

234
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: situation like in Austria? Is it because you know in

235
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: in in many cities, uh, you know, across the US,

236
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's pretty bad, is it? Is it as

237
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: bad in in Austria.

238
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: I think you could generally say we have more, we

239
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: have a better social system, but you can feel that

240
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: there's like shift. And we also, since COVID happened, have

241
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: some yeah not so good economy and the price went

242
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: up like hell, especially in living and food. So we

243
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: have like opportunity to sleep in. Our beds are like

244
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: always full and this summer was like the first year

245
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: where it was all is full and I never saw

246
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: that in the summer time because most of the people

247
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: just leave outside when it's warm enough. So it's definitely

248
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: getting worse, but I think, like compared to the US,

249
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: it's still not that bad, especially like I said, I'm

250
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: kind of living in a rural part of Austria. But yeah,

251
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: we still we still have powerty here and it's definitely

252
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: a problem. But yeah, compared to other places on this planet,

253
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: we definitely yeah less, Yeah, is.

254
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: There because is there like a lot of drug use too,

255
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: or is that also not as been.

256
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Well, the people I work with, like I would say,

257
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: like eighty ninety percent got some form of addiction, So yeah,

258
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: a lot of heroine and alcohol mostly.

259
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Have you so working how long have you worked? Have

260
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,119
Speaker 1: you worked at the shelter.

261
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: It's like my third year now.

262
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Have you had any experiences where like you knew someone

263
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: at the shelter who was like addicted to drugs and

264
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: like really having a having a shitty time, and like you,

265
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: over time you saw them get better and improve their life.

266
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely. I had one girl and she was

267
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. She had a boyfriend and they always came

268
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: together to our shelter. It was like in the beginning

269
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: when I started, and they were addicted to Benzo's alcohol

270
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: and opiates, always eating the shit out of each other.

271
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: It was really like you needed the police a couple

272
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: of times, and then we just didn't hear anything from them.

273
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: Like two months ago, we received an email they just

274
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: moved to Vienna, like our capital, moved away from the

275
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: scene and got clean and got a job now to

276
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: live together. So yeah, they definitely got better. But most

277
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: of the time I always say, it's a pretty hard

278
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: job because you don't see those moments of success, you know,

279
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: because people come when they need help, and when they're better,

280
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: they usually don't come. So it's it's very hard to

281
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: notice if someone gets better because usually they just disappear.

282
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: And that could mean a lot of things.

283
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, right right, I guess that's true. I guess

284
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: if someone comes to you for help at the shelter

285
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: and you don't see them again, it either means you

286
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: know that they got better they got worse, but you

287
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: don't really you can't really tell. I mean, it's cool

288
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: that you got an email from those people, so you

289
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: can like be there that situation, right right.

290
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: Some people, like years later they just come over and say, yeah,

291
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: you helped us in the situation. It was really nice

292
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: and we got better. Now that's nice to see. But yeah,

293
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: like I said, most of the people just vanish kind

294
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: of now.

295
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a question of like

296
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: your experience or if this is just whether you want

297
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: to be optimistic or pessimistic. But when you don't see

298
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: someone after you know anymore, do you assume that things

299
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: got better or things got worse?

300
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: Depends on the person. I would say, like the generation

301
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: of the life they're in. Yeah, I can't say it,

302
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: but most of the time they're out of my head,

303
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: out of side, out of mind kind of because we

304
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: got a lot of people there. And yeah, I just

305
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: focus on the people that that are here and in

306
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: front of me, and I try to distance myself as

307
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: much as I can when I'm not in contact with

308
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: those people. I would say, but yeah, obviously your mind

309
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: you start to think. But I would say, I'm more

310
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: of an optimistic person now, and yeah, just generally better

311
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,600

Speaker 1: the chat. If the chat has any questions, I'll see,

335
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: it'll take a little bit of them to time for

336
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: them to A lot of the time chat is just

337
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: dumb ass emojis and people talking about something that's nothing

338
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,679

339
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: a real quiet but not but not today, we got

340
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: some real questions. All right. Someone said, if you weren't

341
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: working in a homeless shelter, what other area of social

342
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: work would interest you?

343
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: Before I worked at the shelter, I was working like

344
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: like youth center in my town. I guess that was

345
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: really cool. I could like skateboard all day with the

346
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: guys there and just two cool stuff. I guess, yeah,

347
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: it's more positive and more chill. But I kind of

348
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: got bored after while, so I figured, yeah, I need

349
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: something a little bit more action. I would say, so, yeah,

350
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: but I guess something with like young people, teenagers, stuff

351
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: like that.

352
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: Someone wants to know how you plan to fund your

353
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: trips around the world.

354
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: The last years I managed to save a little money. Now,

355
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,680

356
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,080

00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, just focus on saving for a year now

358
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,840

359
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Someone wants to know if you think who would win

360
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,160

424
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: last night, so I want to talk about that. It

425
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 4: was great.

426
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Many how many people were we're in this pinball tournament?

427
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: We had seven people?

428
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: Okay? How does a pinball tournament work? Is it like

429
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: people go back and forth to see who can get

430
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: the biggest score.

431
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 4: So I was also running it. We use this thing

432
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 4: called match play where it has like a set number

433
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: of machines you're playing and you get randomized with like

434
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 4: two people on each machine. So whoever gets the highest

435
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 4: score then they get a point for that round you

436
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: go onto the next one.

437
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: That space. Okay, so you you organized the pinball tournament?

438
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

439
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you go about? Tell me? I'm curious

440
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm in a headspace right now where

441
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: I really want to put on more events. I mean,

442
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: I have my tour, which is great, but I want

443
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: to do more like local fun things. So tell and

444
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: I also, you know, I want to encourage the people

445
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: who listen to this to organize doing more fun local

446
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: things because I think it's an incredible uh benefit to

447
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: one as a human being. So tell us from the

448
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: ground up, how did you organize this pinball tournament?

449
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, so I totally agree with that. I think

450
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: it's great to have like small spaces for anyone to

451
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: just either learn or you know, dive into it if

452
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: they're really into that environment. But I end up getting

453
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: into the pinball in tournaments and all that stuff primarily

454
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: just from going to conventions and having arcades available. So

455
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 4: I just played a whole bunch of pinball there since

456
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: it was on free play, and that kind of opened

457
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: the doors to like, there's this app called pinball Map

458
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: where you can find different locations that have a whole

459
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: bunch of pinball machines. I moved to a new city

460
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: and started playing at the local arcade there, and since

461
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 4: I was there pretty often, they asked me if I

462
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 4: wanted to like host a women's tournament so that way,

463
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: you know, women can have a safe place to play

464
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: and you know, hang out and ask questions and learn

465
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 4: where it's not like a stressful environment for some people

466
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 4: because sometimes it could be a little cut throat. Women's

467
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 4: tournaments are usually pretty chill.

468
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: The pinball scene is cutthroat.

469
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 4: It can be, yeah, in what sense. There's a lot

470
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: of rules to some of the machines, and like if

471
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: you accidentally mess up somehow, then sometimes people get really

472
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: up at these and they're like, well, you can't do that,

473
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 4: we have to like disqualify you from the tournament. Also

474
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 4: the crap whever.

475
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: So I want to just I just want to get

476
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: into this for just a second, because here's the thing

477
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: about he's saying about pinball is like the the amount

478
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: of inputs that you can make in this game. It's

479
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: like in most games have like uh you know, kind

480
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: of like an not an infinite, but like they have

481
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: there's they have several buttons that you can press many inputs.

482
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm a big super Smash pros guy, and you know

483
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: we have on the controller there's like ten fucking buttons.

484
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: Pinball really only has two inputs. It's the right trigger

485
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: and the left the left bumper, the left fucking thing

486
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: and the right fucking thing. And so I don't obviously

487
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to pick up the machine and fucking

488
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: tilt the thing. But outside of that, I mean, how

489
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: much of a how much is there really to fuck

490
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: up or cheats? You know, with such a limited amount

491
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: of input into the game and a role.

492
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: Well, I this has happened in a handful of times

493
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: where I've seen people. I've done this myself, where if

494
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: you're playing against someone else and you accidentally play their

495
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 4: ball instead, oh yeah, you can mess up because sometimes

496
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: it's very easy to think that it's your ball the

497
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 4: excellent place one else is. Or if there's some other

498
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: in the game where you can get an extra ball

499
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: and you're not supposed to play those usually, so if

500
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: you play it, sometimes I can just qualify you. Yeah,

501
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: people are just like really picky about some of those rules.

502
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's kind of silly. I'm a pretty casual

503
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: player for a tournament player, but yeah, some people are

504
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: just like really sticklers about it.

505
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: So this is cool. You move to a new city,

506
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: do you know anyone in the new city?

507
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 4: I like a handful of people, like maybe three or

508
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: four people.

509
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: What city is it? Richmond, Richmond, Virginia? How does one

510
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: How does one revive their life by picking up leaving

511
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: everything they know? And moving to Richmond, Virginia. They do

512
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: it by hosting a pinball tournament. Of course. Yeah, I

513
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: like that. I actually think that's sick. No, I think

514
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: I fucking rocks. What what is there? Do you want

515
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: to shout out this arcade at all? Does that interest you? So?

516
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: My favorite thought is wax Moon Records. They're ever in

517
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: Scott's Edition. And yeah, it's like a horror themed arcade

518
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: as well. So they have a lot of like you know,

519
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: I guess Franken Stebeine, Santama's Opera, and Halldeen. So they

520
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 4: have a ton of like horror specific arcade cabinets, which

521
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: is great.

522
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: What cabinet did you run this tournament on?

523
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 4: We had about ten last night that we kind of

524
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: you know, rotated around. You didn't get too bored, but yeah,

525
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 4: we had you had stranger things. There was Iron Maiden,

526
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: Venom was in the mix, Halloween Fan the opera, Frankenstein,

527
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: and some other ones I forgot. I think, uh Kials

528
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: from the Crypt or something like that. I remember. But

529
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 4: there's a couple of them.

530
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Which one is your favorite?

531
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: Which is my favorite of all time or at that event.

532
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Or at I want of all time of all time?

533
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 4: Okay, my favorite of all time is Cubert.

534
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: It's a pretty Hubert pinball.

535
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, So that one came out a long time

536
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: ago and has you inverted flippers at the bottom, like

537
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: royally mess up.

538
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: If you're playing, well, there's inverted What do you mean

539
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: inverted flippers?

540
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: Oh?

541
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: I see it. Oh oh that's bizarre at the bottom. Yeah, yeah,

542
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: that's really bizarre. Yeah, it's inverted. It's like going to

543
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: the left. Very interesting, very interesting. Do they have that cool?

544
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Where do they have that?

545
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: I've only seen it at this event called Pin Baltimore,

546
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 4: which is up in Baltimore, of course, and that's the

547
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: only place I've ever seen it, so it's kind of rare.

548
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Bro Hold the fucking but hold the fucking phone. I

549
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: uh well, I don't live there right now, but I'm

550
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: originally from Baltimore, Maryland's and I have never in my

551
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: life heard of PIN Baltimore. And I'm looking at the

552
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: website right now and they have a music lineup. What

553
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: is this? This is awesome? This is so cool. Holy crap.

554
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 4: I usually go every year, but this year they're not

555
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: hosting it. But yeah, Pin Baltimore is over at Holy

556
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: Free Holies in Hamden, Baltimore, so just north of Baltimore City.

557
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: It's just like a bunch of local bands. Yeah yeah,

558
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 4: Holy Free Holies is like really great food and like

559
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: at least like fifty to seventy pinball machines. They have

560
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: like some crazy tournaments too. They do like split slipper tournaments.

561
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: We have one for and then the left one on the right,

562
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 4: So they get kind of creative with like the different

563
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: types of tournaments there. It's really cool though.

564
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: That is really cool. So you won the tournament, and

565
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: I say, okay, so you say you're a casual, you

566
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: say you're a novice, but I I personally believe that

567
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: you are being humble because I mean, you won the

568
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: fucking tournament. Tell me this, what do you have any

569
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: strategies that you want to share for maybe other pinball

570
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: layman's who you know, maybe that maybe they're on a

571
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: date at an arcade, they want to impress their date

572
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: with pinball skills? What what what should they what should

573
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: they do? What should they know?

574
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, So honestly, what I always tell new people,

575
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: I always ask them if they want to learn about

576
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 4: the machine. So otherwise I don't want to like mansplain

577
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: you know not cool, but I'll go ahead and let

578
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 4: them know, like try to slow down the ball as

579
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: much as possible, because you want to aim your shots.

580
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 4: It's not like just hitting random stuff. Like every game

581
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: does have a story to it where you can unlock

582
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 4: certain things. Anything that's more of a stationary light, aim

583
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: for that. If it's a blinking light, that's kind of

584
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 4: like a bonus. And usually most games have like like

585
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: a skill shot option where you get a ton of

586
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 4: points or multi ball option, so I like to point

587
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 4: those out. But there's usually a card in the bottom

588
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 4: left corner that gives you some of the steps and

589
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: instruction so that what you get the most out of,

590
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 4: like how many quarters you're putting in the machine. But

591
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 4: it's pretty cool. You can also watch it on like

592
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: watch games on YouTube to learn strategy if you're interested.

593
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: I don't really do that too much because I like

594
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 4: learning as they go one more hands on rather than

595
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 4: just observing. Yeah, if you have any questions, though, I

596
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 4: feel like asking other people what their strategy is while

597
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: they're playing, or like after they play, because don't want

598
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: to interrupt them while they're playing, can be really helpful.

599
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: And I think everyone who really loves pinball. They light

600
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 4: up when they get a chance to talk about it,

601
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 4: like myself. So oh yeah, no it should have been though,

602
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: but yeah, you say a flip out over it.

603
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: Uh So, what I guess if the people, let's say

604
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: someone's listening to this, they want to go to one

605
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: of your pinball tournaments, when's the next one you're hosting?

606
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Is there a thing or that you can follow or

607
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: because like, I don't know when the next time I'm

608
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: ever going to be in Richmond, Virginia is But how

609
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: can people follow these pinball tournaments?

610
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 4: Yeah? For sure, I know wax Moon they post about

611
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: it on our Instagram pretty often. So they do like

612
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: a main monthly tournament for all walks of life, and

613
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: then I host the women's tournament usually in the middle

614
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 4: of the month. So but yeah, we just started doing

615
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 4: the women's tournament about a month ago, so it's very

616
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: very new. Welcome all all people. But yeah, definitely worth

617
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 4: checking out if you're in Richmond.

618
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,560

Speaker 4: I work remotely, and honestly, I love it. It's great,

625
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: but it kind of forces me to go out and like,

626
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: because I'm working from home, you don't really interact with

627
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: people day to day, like face to face, So it

628
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: encourages me to like go out and meet new people

629
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: in the city. So got to fill that social meter.

676
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: nothing to fucking do with anything, idiot. And then and

677
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,640

678
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,399

697
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: in my life. Just I don't know. I guess things

698

Speaker 3: are going pretty good. I've got a pretty solid job

699
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 3: and we're moving to a new place. It's just been

700
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: a whirlwind of change and different things like that. So

701
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 3: just kind of working through, working through some stuff. But nothing, uh, nothing,

702
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 3: end of the world. It's so funny. I every time

703
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: I I think I've texted a couple of times and

704
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, you literally use like chat GBT to try

705
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: and be like CHATGBT, write a text that will get

706
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: gets interest or something so you could come me back,

707
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: and it never comes up with anything.

708
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: Well, I don't like. I don't like that. Not anything

709
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: to do with AI. But I just like, I don't think,

710
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, look, I get it, I understand that.

711
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: Uh the like the I try, yes, I try to

712
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: take the phone calls that I think will be the

713
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: most interesting. Sure, but I don't I that's that's weird.

714
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: That's turned this into I don't want that to turn

715
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: this into a competition to see who can be the

716
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: most crazy, you know, Yeah, because.

717
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 4: It's just feel better.

718
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 3: It makes me feel better if you look back, I

719
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: text you pretty normal things and never go with the

720
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 3: CHEDGBT thing. I'm just like pretty normal, Like what's the well.

721
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't want people to like lie and

722
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, by the way, I don't think

723
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: most people on this show are lying. I just I

724
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: don't want people to be like I got to think

725
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: of a crazy thing. And and also I'm going to

726
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: say this too, I I the conversations that I enjoy

727
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: having the most on this show are not necessarily the

728
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: craziest ones. I just I like when people are being

729
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: authentic and you can kind of tell, like you can

730
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: tell when somebody is approaching this authentically versus being like, oh,

731
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm I want to be on the show because I'm crazy,

732
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, And somebody can be a part. Somebody can

733
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: have a crazy thing, But if they're approaching it in

734
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: an inauthentic way, I don't. I don't talking to them

735
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: as kind of boring, you know.

736
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: No, I get you, I get Wait me.

737
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: So I'm had whatever. I'm happy to talk about your

738
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: boring life, is what I'm saying.

739
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I guess I can I can tell you

740
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: a little bit about my boring life. Like, so right

741
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: now I work full time. I work in quality and

742
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 3: aerospace and defense manufacturing, so that's pretty cool. But on

743
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: the side, I do like dog walking and babysitting and

744
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 3: house cleaning and all that. So I've been out straight

745
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 3: just completely murdering myself with work because I'm trying to

746
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: prepare for a move and even though like you have

747
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: a solid job, like, everything is still very expensive.

748
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: So what part of the what part of the country

749
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: do you live in?

00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: New England?

751
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: New England? I can I say something insane like forever

752
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: when I hear the phrase New England, I don't know

753
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: what people are talking about.

754
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: It's so funny that you say that, because my niece

755
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 3: the other day didn't She didn't know that New England

756
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: wasn't like a place in Europe. She thought it was

757
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that New England was a readon

758
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: in the US. I was like, what, it's just funny.

759
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, sow, okay, New England. What what state do

760
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: you live in?

761
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: I live in New Hampshire.

762
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, see if you said New Hampshire'd be like, okay,

763
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: I know where she lives. But you said New England. No,

764
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: I've since come to understand that New England is a

765
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: region of America comprised of like Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont's, Connecticut,

766
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, right.

767
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 3: Rhode Island, and Maine. Yeah, well, it's just easy. You

768
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: have to be fair. You did what reason I lived in.

769
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 3: I don't think you asked me what state. But that's

770
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 3: probably why.

771
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think I said that, but also that

772
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: we have I said it on record. No, no, be wrong.

773
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: It's more likely that I'm wrong than that you're wrong.

774
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: But we said it on a record. Whoever's listening to

775
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: this can play it back and see who's right. Do

776
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: you see New Hampshire. Is New Hampshire an expensive place?

777
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: I would say it can be. It depends on where

778
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: you live.

779
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it can be.

780
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 3: I mean New England's a pretty expensive cost of living

781
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: for the country, so it can be. I mean I

782
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: got lucky. I mean I got a good job. I

783
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: knew somebody and they told me to apply, and so

784
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: I got a good job. So I got lucky in

785
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 3: that regard. But it can be expensive. There's not a

786
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: whole lot of I guess opportunity here, I would say,

787
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: like it depends on where you live in this state.

788
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: I would say if you're in the southern region, you

789
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 3: might have more opportunities, but the more rurall you get,

790
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 3: it tends to be the same small businesses. Not that

791
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: small businesses are bad, but like the same things in

792
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: life doesn't really change that much. So if you're looking

793
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: for a change or if you're looking to like really

794
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 3: go far with your peer, you kind of have to

795
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: lead the era you're in.

796
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: Okay, I have one more New England thing. Okay, the Patriots,

797
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: the football team. Yes they're the New England Patriots, right.

798
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 4: Yes, they are the New England Patriots.

799
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: So that's so the okay because I always that always

800
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: confused me because that's like what how many states? Like

801
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: six states? I don't know if it's exactly six, don't

802
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: who cares, but it's like it's several states sharing one

803
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: football team.

804
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense because

805
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 3: some of those states are pretty small. It's not like

806
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: it's Texas and like the Dallas, Like New England is

807
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 3: probably the size of Texas, And so it makes like

808
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 3: different states can be tend to be bigger than our

809
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: smaller ones, so it kind of makes sense that we

810
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: have united behind rue teams.

811
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all they all pulled together for one football team.

812
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

813
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: No, you know, growing up, I never, like embarrassingly recently

814
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: have I learned what exactly New England is. But well,

815
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm glad that. Uh, I mean, is it? What's you've?

816
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: Is life good? Sorry, that's I'm being a fucking idiot?

817
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: Is life good?

818
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: I think life? For me, life can be good on

819
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 3: a positive Like, I've been in therapy for like nine

820
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: months now and it's really changed my life. Yeah, I was, Yeah,

821
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: it really has. I mean, it can be so hard

822
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: to find the right person and like feel like it

823
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 3: is I feel like you're not sometimes, like when you're

824
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: trying to explain things to somebody, they're not really it

825
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like they understand or listen or it's it's

826
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: just really hard to find a good therapist period, right.

827
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 3: So I finally found somebody that really works for me,

828
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 3: and I've made it. I think I've done a lot

829
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: of work on myself and I can really tell the

830
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: difference in my own life. So I would say life

831
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: is pretty good. I mean, I have my own challenges

832
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: and stress and trying to figure things out and family

833
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 3: drama stuff. But I think to navigate those things like

834
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 3: you have to be pretty.

835
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 4: I don't know.

836
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 3: Life is going to be stressful no matter what, right

837
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: I guess, and in some regards, no matter who you are,

838
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 3: what your situation is. But if you're not like good

839
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: with yourself, it could be like ten times harder to

840
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 3: navigate those things.

841
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, yeah, I know that from some experience. Yeah, uh,

842
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: life is man. I have a I say this a

843
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: lot on this show, and not just on this show,

844
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: but just in real life. Life is crazy, which I

845
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: believe truly. I'm innna. I have a friend and she

846
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: listens to this show and we argue over that a

847
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: lot because she thinks. She thinks saying life is crazy

848
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: is lazy. She thinks it's like, uh, that life is

849
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: more complex than just crazy. But I just agree. I

850
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: think that I think life is crazy, and I think

851
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: that life. I believe that saying life is crazy is

852
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: an acknowledgment of the complexities of life. I don't know

853
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: how you feel about the term.

854
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I kind of agree because I was listening

855
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 3: to the podcast a couple of days ago. And you

856
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 3: were probably going on about life is crazy, and I

857
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 3: thought about it after I was after I had finished

858
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 3: the episode. I'm like, no, it kind of is, because

859
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 3: like I was, I was driving down the street and

860
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 3: I was looking at buildings and like you know, fancy

861
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: buildings and pavement, and like all that is is just

862
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: like compressed earth and we've like made all these fancy

863
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: things in cars or whatever. It's just elements that we've

864
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: combined to do certain things, and we've made like certain

865
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: rules and you do this and you do that, and

866
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 3: like certain cultures and societies have different rights and different

867
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: wrongs and different things. So like life is literally crazy

868
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 3: if you really just want to dive deep into it.

869
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 3: So it does make sense what you're saying. I don't

870
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: know if i'd call it lazy. It's just how you're

871
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: how you're encapsulating, like you can't, you can't. It's like

872
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 3: the perfect couple of words to uh condense how complex

873
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 3: life is for everybody.

874
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 1: I was saying, like, if you asked you talked about

875
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: chat Cheapt. I think if you ask chat Cheapt to

876
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: take all of Stephen Hawking's books, how many book he

877
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: probably wrote, like twenty books. I don't know. He wrote

878
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: one What was it? What was the one book he wrote?

879
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: Hold on, I have my computer in front of me.

880
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: Give me two seconds. Stephen Hawking? All right, he what

881
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: did he write? He wrote a book I think it

882
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: was called, uh, the the Something to the Universe. What

883
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: do you publish?

884
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: Oh?

885
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: Wait, A Brief History of Time? Okay? He published a

886
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: book called A Brief History History of Time. He published

887
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: another book called the Universe in a Nutshell and whatever.

888
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: I believe. If you asked chat GBT and you were like,

889
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: summarize all of Stephen Hawking's books in three words, it

890
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: would spit back. Life is crazy. Hold on, hold on,

891
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, I'm gonna do that. Right I'm

892
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: in front of my computer. I'm gonna do that right now.

893
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: Stay logged out, Okay, hold on, summer summarize, summarize all

894
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: of Steve Vin Hawking's books in three words. Let's see

895
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: what it says. Okay, it says Cosmo's black holes. But

896
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: that's the same thing. That's the same thing as life.

897
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, you know, what's your name again?

898
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 3: It's Linda.

899
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: Did you say Melinda or Linda Linda? Okay, Melinda is

900
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: the name of Stephen Hawking's wife. Oh wait, no, that's

901
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Bill Gates. They're both guys.

902
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 3: Can we talk about Stephen Hawking's wife?

903
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: Bro Quick?

904
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: Uh? Sure, I don't know. I don't know if I

905
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: prepared to talk about it because I don't know anything

906
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: about her because I didn't even know her name.

907
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 3: Just now, I'll keep it real short. But they had

908
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: like they got married, they had like three kids together,

909
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 3: and then he had like a cair nurse. Stephen Hawking

910
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 3: cheated on his wife with his cairners, left her for

911
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 3: this woman. I think they've been together until he died

912
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: or something like that. But yeah, Stephen Hawking was a

913
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: dog man.

914
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: Did he do that while he was like in the

915
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: wheelchair with the voice and stuff?

916
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 4: Yes?

917
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: She is pretty That's that's pretty wild. That's pretty wild.

918
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: Is his wife still alive? What's she doing?

919
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. I I'm checking my bookshelf right now,

920
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: because I'm pretty sure I had a book that she

921
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 3: wrote at some point, The Beginning of Everything or some something.

922
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 3: They made a movie Theory of Everything, The Theory of Everything. Yeah,

923
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 3: I have the book once, but I don't know if

924
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 3: I have it now. But yeah, it's pretty wild. So

925
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 3: I guess maybe that can help us all feel better.

926
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: Like if Stephen Hawking can still get it well in

927
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 3: live in life at its fullest, in the condition he is,

928
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,479
Speaker 3: we can do it too.

929
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: You know what, I you know what I think that

930
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: you know what that says to me, The fact that

931
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Stephen Hawkin did that while he was in a wheelchair,

932
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: You know it says to me, I'd say, it tells

933
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: me that life is crazy? Do I really? I'm sorry,

934
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna and I'm gonna end this conversation in two seconds.

935
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: But you said I was you said you said her,

936
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: you were like you were like I was listening to

937
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: the podcast and you were going on about how life

938
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: is crazy. Do I do? I rant about that a lot.

939
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not trying to make you feel self conscious, No, no, no,

940
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 3: I'm just curious.

941
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: It was collecting information.

942
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 4: A little bit.

943
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: I would say, like just a little bit. It comes

944
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 3: up a lot, But sometimes you do a good job

945
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 3: like explaining like where you're at and like what it

946
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 3: is that you mean by it, So I wouldn't worry

947
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 3: about it too much.

948
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't have a good I'm not good at

949
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: understanding how I come off on this thing because I

950
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: just do it and post it and then on other people.

951
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Like my experience of talking, my experience of the words

952
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying from the point of view of the guy

953
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: saying them is very different from the experience of the

954
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: words I'm saying from the point of view of someone

955
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: listening to them.

956
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 3: If that makes sense, No, it does make sense. I

957
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 3: mean it's kind of like watching a video of yourself, right,

958
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 3: and then you're like, oh, I sound like that or

959
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying that and realized like that's how it's coming across.

960
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 3: But you have such a like a good following of

961
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: people like we listen to you because we like yourself.

962
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 3: So don't worry about that.

963
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: Man. Thanks, I'm uh, I'll keep I'll keep trying. I'll

964
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 1: keep trying it. I'm gonna go back to the lab

965
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: and try to come up with other things to say

966
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: besides life is crazy. Uh, thank you for calling Linda,

967
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: of course, have good day, Thank you too. It is

968
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it is crazy. Maybe I go on too

969
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: many rants about life being crazy, but that's that's the

970
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: conclusion that I have about life. And I'm I also

971
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this recently, you know, I'm twenty

972
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,720
Speaker 1: six years old, which I think is pretty is fairly

973
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: is pretty young, and it feels weird. I feel kind

974
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: of weird being uh, I don't this podcast, it's not

975
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: like a I guess it is seen by some as

976
00:54:55,040 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: an advice show. Maybe I try to make it more

977
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: of a interview. I like to think. I don't. I

978
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: like to think that I am interviewing people more than

979
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: I am advising them. But I'm sure i'm you know whatever.

980
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: It's a little mix, I guess, but I don't. I

981
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: think i'd be a lot better at this show if

982
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: I did it when I was like seventy. Maybe I'll

983
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: maybe that'll maybe that's what will happen, is you know,

984
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll go on hiatus for forty year, for forty four years,

985
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: and then pick it back up and be like, Okay,

986
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: after forty four years, I have a greater breadth of

987
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: knowledge and life experience to talk to people about their

988
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: life and stuff. I feel like I'm flying. I feel

989
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: like I'm flying blind doing this because I feel like

990
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: a little boy all the time. And so maybe when

991
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm seventy seventy years old, I'll else. Part of me

992
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: thinks that when I'm seventy years old. I'm also going

993
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: to be like, you know what, after forty four years,

994
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: which isn't that long really in the scope of time,

995
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: it's really not that long. I still part of me

996
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: still believes that after forty four years, I'll have no

997
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: further conclusions about life other than the fact that it

998
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: is crazy. I don't think I don't think life is

999
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: going to get less crazy in the next forty four

1000
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: years for anyone, but who knows.

1001
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 4: Really, again goes on the line, taking your phone calls

1002
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 4: every night.

1003
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: Ever, Beacon goes to just teaching yous loud in the

1004
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: mid of your life, but he's not ready an expert
