I had a thing once and I wanted to 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: invent an invention when I was a waiter for seven 78 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: years of waiting tables. That was you know those things 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: that they make for kids where it's like sticky plastic 80 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 3: on the ground and you put it under a high 81 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 3: chair and then all the food spills and you just 82 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: peel up the whole thing and throw it in the trash. No, 83 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: well that exists. Love it. 84 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: That's so smart. That's like a Yeah, it's like it's 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 4: almost like a rat trap, but for children. 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, detritis, I think to tritis, that's exactly right. I 87 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: think it was called or we were going to call 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 3: it a crumster. But then mine because when you serve 89 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: in restaurants and you serve older folks, which especially in Brooklyn, 90 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: I had to do a lot of I wanted to 91 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: do one for old people, same thing that you I'd 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: be like oh, and you're sitting here, sir. And then 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: there was a patterned thing underneath that looked like a 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: red carpet or something special regal. But then as soon 95 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: as they left, you just peeled it up into a bag. 96 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: And we were going to call it the gramster. And 97 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: the owner of Two Boots, Piper, laughed so hard at 98 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: the idea of putting gramsters out under old people, like, 99 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 3: here's your little throne, ma'am, here's your throne, sir. Then 100 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: when they leave, just peel up all the spilled suit 101 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: that they've dropped. But we never made the gramster. But 102 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: I think the crumbster or whatever it's really called, exists. 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: It's a great idea. That's such a good idea. 104 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 4: Also, like I know that there's a tipping point with 105 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 4: the elderly, but from my experiences as a waiter, older 106 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 4: people were always incredibly clean and neat. 107 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: Was the opposite experience at Two Boots. Yeah, a lot 108 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: of places, yeah, they would be. Yeah, I mean I 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 3: think there is a I think once you're over eighty, 110 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: maybe maybe the young old, like sixty to seventy, that's 111 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: a fine, yeah, young even sixty eight, like's young old. 112 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: You're talking like eighty five to ninety five, I'm tuk 113 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: an old old yeah, not old, part's old Fox and 114 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: that's Brooklyn. 115 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: And in Brooklyn eighty five to ninety five still go 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: out for dinner. 117 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good, and then you just pull it 174 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 4: out and looking at them, put it over your your 175 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: neck and say I'm a doctor. 176 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 8: Pal. 177 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: But also nurses do That's sure, they do, they do, 178 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: but you do associate it with a doctor more. I think, yeah, 179 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: take it a step further. I would go as far 180 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: as print business cards. Business cards are so cheap to make. 181 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: They're one of the great comedy props because you can 182 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: put anything you want on them. Put that you're a doctor, 183 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: I would say, maybe dermatologist. Say hey, I'm a dermatologist, 184 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: and then put the address on the card for your office, 185 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: and just pick a local burger king and say, right 186 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: before you leave that conversation where they diminished you and said, oh, 187 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: you know, we're assuming you're a nurse, that you're not 188 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: maybe a neurosurgeon. Yeah, go ooh you know, why don't 189 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: you come in for a free consultation. Give them that 190 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: card with all fake information on it, and just let 191 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: them go to a Burger King at some point, say 192 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: come by Friday at three pm. Just send them to BK. 193 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 3: Let them be king for a day.

I mean, the 204 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: whole joke of Meet the Parents is that there's a 205 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: male nurse and they all can't get over the fact 206 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: that Ben Seiler's character is a male nurse. Boy, what 207 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: a joke. Yeah. Definitely lie to strangers. When I was 208 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: a young, broke valet and did in New York City. 209 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: I would go out with my friends and our lie 210 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 3: would be that we were optometrists, which nobody believed because 211 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: at twenty one I looked seventeen, or that we designed fonts, 212 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: and nobody believed the up to up ometris part. But 213 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: everybody believed that we were font designers. And we would 214 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: just start listing font names and people would be like, really, 215 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: you did that, Like I did that, I shod that far, 216 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: I made that. It made them have a better night. 217 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: It made us seem like we didn't have forty five 218 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: dollars in our bank accounts, which was definitely true.

Uh huh. 388 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 4: I also would like to say, and I don't know 389 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: if this was anybody else's experience, but the friends I 390 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 4: made the first two weeks of college, with the exception 391 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: of like three people I never spoke to again after. 392 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 3: Correct absolutely factual. The first three people I thought I 393 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 3: was going to be friends with, including one woman who 394 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: was the I think they're called flyers, the cheerleaders that 395 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: they throw in the air, the one that gets thrown. 396 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: I was like, she was really cute, and we hung 397 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 3: out in orientation, and then I saw her on campus 398 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: and we maybe got dinner once or twice the first 399 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: couple weeks, and then I never talked to her again. 400 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: I would see her sometimes. Yeah, so yeah, don't worry 401 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: about first semester is you are transitioning from high school 402 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 3: to college. That's like when you graduate college, you have 403 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: to move to a place where you can transition into 404 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 3: being out of college. Yeah, let's see what's good freshman advice. 405 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to take a while to find your people, 406 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 4: and so if you don't find them right away, don't 407 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 4: worry about that. You will find them, I would says. See, 408 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 4: that's the thing, like you grew up when I grew up. 409 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 4: I grew up in Jersey and it was also a 410 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 4: long time ago. 411 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: I literally had. 412 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: Never had like falafel, you know, I had never had sushi, 413 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 4: and I was like in a city for the first time. 414 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 4: So I was like just a country bumpkin, like yeah, 415 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: smoking my American spirits and eating sushi once and being like, 416 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: well that's not for me because it was all you 417 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 4: could eat sushi or Baltimore. 418 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 3: We're just not the way you should try sushi. Well 419 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 3: that's a good point. So college everybody thinks about getting 420 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 3: credits and classes done, but part of what you're paying, 421 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: there's like fees built into your tuition that are just 422 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: activity fees. Go to every single thing that is free, 423 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 3: Go to everything that is free. If they do a 424 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: nature walk, go on it. They If you have a 425 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: speaker that politically you don't agree with, I went, so 426 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: Ali North speak at UMass, who first of all, Oli 427 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 3: North was old when I was at UMass. But they're like, 428 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 3: he's speaking, and then Noam Chomsky came the next weekend, 429 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: same podium. But that's what it's for. If they have 430 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 3: free pottery classes, take them. If they have radio shows 431 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 3: or TV shows, if you have any interest, make stuff. 432 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: People treat college like it's just studying. But what you 433 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 3: can really get out of college is do the place, 434 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: do every activity there. You mass had a free tumbling 435 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 3: night in the gym, like where our gymnastics team would be, 436 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 3: where you could run and jump into the foam pit. 437 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 3: You could run across and just tumble someone pit at 438 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 3: the school we had a great gymnastics team. Changed. Yeah, 439 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 3: so do every free activity. Go to every concert, even 440 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: if you don't like the music. I just go do 441 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: everything that you're secretly paying for. And so when you 442 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: leave college, you go, like I kind of note, like 443 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 3: Kurt said, falafel and sushi great examples. Try every food 444 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: on earth, but every single thing your school says hey, 445 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: Thursday night is learn how to make sushi night. Go yes, 446 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: say hey to people. 447 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 4: Of course, and I want to I want to say 448 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 4: this as well, because this is this was very endemthnic 449 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 4: of where I went to school in Baltimore. And I 450 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: don't know about where you went to school, but because 451 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 4: it was Baltimore, and Baltimore was a little bit more 452 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: rough and tumble, and Hopkins was kind of at the 453 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: north tip of it. It is you could essentially live 454 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: there for four years and never set foot into Baltimore. 455 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: And I am so happy that I was like going 456 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: out into the city and doing things. And that was 457 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 4: because that city is it's like a college campus is 458 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 4: one kind of usually like similar culture, and then the 459 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 4: city that you're in has like a crazy culture, and 460 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 4: please go and like soak that up, like do those things. 461 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 4: I remember going in Baltimore, went to a poetry night 462 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 4: great down near this bar called Sharkis, which is I 463 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 4: don't even know where the hell is neither Sharkis was. 464 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: I remember the outside of it like it was yesterday. 465 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 4: It was a shark coming out of the water and 466 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 4: biting into a keg. 467 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: Sound a metal really fun.

He did a poem. He spoke 475 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: a poem out loud.

Yeah. Also, if you have to go 486 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 3: to the dining hall, if you have to live on campus, 487 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: which a lot of colleges do your freshman year, right away, 488 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: as soon as you go, start taking ziploc bags or 489 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 3: start taking little toughwares and steal food from the dining 490 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: hall and take it back to your mini fridge so 491 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 3: that you always have your own groceries. I didn't figure 492 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: this out till later. Dude, that's so smart. Why would 493 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: I never do that. By the time I was a senior, 494 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 3: I lived off campus and I would go. I knew 495 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 3: how to sneak in the dining halls and I would 496 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 3: take topwear and I would just take stuff that I 497 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: needed delimeats, ye, bread, cereals, just as if it's not used, 498 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 3: it gets thrown out. Nobody ever knew. I'm sure I 499 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 3: overpaid for it for years. So starting as a freshman, 500 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 3: just take stuff. And then over the weekends if you don't, 501 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 3: if you're hungover and you don't want to go, guess 502 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: what you have all the supplies you need to make 503 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: a turkey club in your mini fridge. 504 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're a genius, Scottie.

Oh my god? 555 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 4: If we get haircuts while it's happening, it would it 556 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 4: would I think inhibit us a little bit. I don't know, 557 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: because you'd have to be static. I find that I 558 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 4: just like go into like almost a trance when I'm 559 00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 4: getting my haircut and I almost falls. 560 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 3: I think it's because we're primates. It's I've once read 561 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: that grooming is part of being a primate. Yeah, like 562 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: what the way they picked bugs off of you and stuff? 563 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: And so I think that you tap into your old 564 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: ape brain and you go like, Okay, this is what's 565 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 3: supposed to be happening to me. 566 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 4: So delightful. So this is a unique problem. I'm assuming 567 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 4: that you text with him, and I think you should. 568 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 4: Every time he texts you and asks for an appointment, 569 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 4: you just be like, I'm too drunk, I can't. 570 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 3: Oh. I love that I didn't know where you were going. 571 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: And I gotta say that is great advice. Bars closed, 572 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: bars open, I'm too drunk. That's hit him with his 573 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: own alcohol. I love that. Yeah. 574 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, And every time he asked to set up, you 575 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 4: just go, I'm so drunk, I can't, man. And then 576 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 4: if you ask why, and he's like, oh, I'm sorry, 577 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: I'm doing to you what you would do to me. 578 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's great advice. Yeah. I also think maybe, well, okay, 579 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 3: this person sounds like an alcoholic. 580 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 4: Right right, So the person in life is falling apart 581 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 4: and not like a functional alcoholic like us. 582 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, we show up on time. 583 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 4: I'm always early five minutes early to everything. 584 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, because the bar a lot.

You 594 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 3: can give him days and then you can charge him 595 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 3: more than all the other customers. Yes, that's what I 596 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 3: would do. I would say, let's make up a name 597 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: for this guy. Uh, his name is Morco.

So treat him a certain way. 605 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 4: And a second part of this message, which I did 606 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: not play, was also that like he lives upstairs from 607 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 4: the salon, and so see and she sees him like 608 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 4: out and about, and so there's also a safety factor 609 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 4: I her walking from the salon to the car, which 610 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 4: is like, I'm so sorry that that. 611 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nightmare. 612 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 4: Is a fucking reality for most women in this world. 613 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: Price it out in a way that you're like chair, 614 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 3: the chair is more expensive now, and so maybe you 615 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: can dissuade him. Maybe he's going to go down the street. 616 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you're sitting someone else's problem. 617 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: And then if if sixty dollars doesn't do it, you know, 618 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 4: just like it just keeps getting more expensive. I agree, yeah, 619 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 4: because then it's just he's just like, oh man, I 620 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 4: can't afford it. As opposed to this person doing something 621 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 4: bad to me, that's right in his fucked up. 622 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: Oh living above it.

And I 670 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 4: think it's based in the fact that we became friends 671 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 4: when we were children. That's right, and it's still ingrained 672 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 4: in the way that we interact with each other. And 673 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 4: we've been slowly coming out of it. But it's a 674 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 4: very childish way to. 675 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 3: Secure when you're young. So you're just trying to you're 676 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 3: climbing the totem pole versus each other. Yeah, So what 677 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 3: I would do, I'm definitely more evil than you are, Ventilla, 678 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 3: is if you get the same sort of insults from 679 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 3: this friends, the guys that are roasting you, if they're 680 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 3: saying that you're ugly or whatever they're saying, that's mean. 681 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 3: I would write those things down or type them out 682 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 3: and print them, and I would keep them in your 683 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 3: purse or your pocket or wallet, and I would say 684 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 3: on that right, you're predictable, and then quotes write what 685 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 3: you think they're going to say, and when they say 686 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 3: it to you, just dig it out and hand it 687 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 3: to them, because then they're going to think you were 688 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 3: ahead of them, and then they're going to realize how 689 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: mean they are, and so you can put them in 690 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 3: their place. Because no, especially if this is men, if 691 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 3: a man feels like he's predictable, that he's not interesting, 692 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 3: it will devastate him. Yeah, So my advice is take 693 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 3: the stuff that you think is going to come in 694 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 3: the next month or two, keep those in a place 695 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 3: where you know exactly where they are. And when they 696 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 3: say something mean to you, a rude to you, just 697 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 3: hand them the card of basically what they said, and 698 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 3: with I knew you were going to say this, or 699 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 3: I knew you were going to say that, and just 700 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 3: let them sit with it and be like, oh, come on, 701 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 3: be like you're predictable. Yeah, it will crush them. 702 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 4: It will crush them. And and my and also my 703 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 4: advice too would just be like, straight up in the moment, 704 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 4: just be like, did you know that you do that 705 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 4: all the time? And it doesn't feel good? That's all 706 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 4: that you have to say. And it will stop, I believe, 707 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 4: I agree. 708 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 709 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 4: And then if it doesn't stop, my suggestion is an. 710 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 3: Air horn, little airhorn, yeah, and carry and they're tiny, 711 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 3: they do make small ones. 712 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 4: They get little ones.
