Speaker 5: I'm doing?
Speaker 2: Do you know it's going all right? Mister Big? How'd
Speaker 2: you get the name mister Big? Where's that name come from?
Speaker 5: It actually comes from an episode of King of the Who?
Speaker 2: Okay, Tala, do you have a what do you have
Speaker 2: a particular reverence for King of the Hill?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just one of those shoes I watched
Speaker 5: when I was younger.
Speaker 2: You know, does it have a lot of influence in
Speaker 2: your life right now? Do you so watch it?
Speaker 5: I used to not any not anymore. It's on Hulu though.
Speaker 5: Shout out to Hulu.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll shout out Hulu when they pay me to.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been confused?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: My cat used to hunt my bed and that was
Speaker 5: pretty confusing.
Speaker 2: Did give her?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: See that's confusing because you can't really ask animals why
Speaker 2: they do things.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And he was like intent, I'm like staring at me,
Speaker 5: Well he did it.
Speaker 2: What do you think he wanted from you?
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I like would scare him off,
Speaker 5: and then literally like five minutes later he was back
Speaker 5: at it.
Speaker 2: Would he only hump the bed when you were around?
Speaker 2: Did you ever catch him in the act.
Speaker 5: He would only do it while I was like sitting
Speaker 5: on my computer, and he would always try to make
Speaker 5: eye contact. It was really weird. M.
Speaker 2: Do you think your cat was sexually attracted to I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 7: That's a good question.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It could be like I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe maybe like the maybe they were turned
Speaker 2: on by like the power that you had in that relationship.
Speaker 2: Because the relationship between a pet and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: a pet owner, it's it's it's you know, you're sort
Speaker 2: of like that cat's you know, you're that cat's superior.
Speaker 2: Maybe they, you know, found the the power that you
Speaker 2: had over them as their owner to be sexually alluring.
Speaker 7: See.
Speaker 5: But he didn't really like like to hang out with
Speaker 5: me otherwise, so it was just like a sexual thing
Speaker 5: I feel.
Speaker 2: Did that make you feel used?
Speaker 5: It really did, actually, because I always had to go
Speaker 5: and clean the sheets after and it was like a
Speaker 5: weekly occurrence. M.
Speaker 2: And you didn't even get to come.
Speaker 5: I didn't. It was like like I was just like,
Speaker 5: get away from me.
Speaker 2: Man, it was a yeah, it's a problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah it was. I moved away though, so I don't
Speaker 5: have that cat problem anymore. But back and that was
Speaker 5: a that was another lifetime.
Speaker 2: Well, glad to hear you were able to solve the situation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I just ended up having to move out.
Speaker 5: He's living his life. I'm moving mine.
Speaker 2: Separate apartment away from you. When's the last time you
Speaker 2: got in contact with the cat?
Speaker 5: Uh? Not since I moved, man, Like, it's just been
Speaker 5: we've just been, Uh, we've won our separate ways.
Speaker 2: Well, mister Big, I'm happy to hear that you were
Speaker 2: able to get yourself out of this relationship that was
Speaker 2: unfulfilling to you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. It was a pretty abusive one. I'm
Speaker 5: really glad I'm out of it.
Speaker 2: Have a good night, mister Big.
Speaker 5: You too, man, have a good one.
Speaker 8: All from Lito.
Speaker 2: Lito.
Speaker 9: Oh hey there, Ale, how's it going?
Speaker 2: This is fucking pizza shop. I don't know if this
Speaker 2: is dosing me, but who cares? Uh, this is pizza
Speaker 2: shop I used to go to called Lito's Pizza. It's delicious. Man,
Speaker 2: you just made me think of it. I don't say
Speaker 2: a war time.
Speaker 9: Meet without an m.
Speaker 2: Who you were you born Lito?
Speaker 9: Uh nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy nine, the seventies, what was the end of
Speaker 2: the seventies? Like, I know you were just a baby,
Speaker 2: but what do you remember from that time?
Speaker 9: I remember, actually my uncle yelling at me in the
Speaker 9: crib one time, like.
Speaker 2: Like you genuinely remember that.
Speaker 9: Maybe I made it up, who knows, but I do
Speaker 9: have a memory of that.
Speaker 2: Do you remember, even faintly, even if you think this
Speaker 2: is something you made up? Do you remember why he
Speaker 2: was yelling at.
Speaker 9: You to shut up because I was crying in the crib.
Speaker 2: That's straightforward. Did you end up shutting up?
Speaker 7: I think I did.
Speaker 9: I think I was like scared and I showed up.
Speaker 9: He was a really nice guy though, actually, but he
Speaker 9: just yeah, yelled at me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, baby suck you. Definitely you were definitely in the
Speaker 2: wrong in that situation I saw with your huncle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I am not confused.
Speaker 9: Yeah, my partner and I on like a fourth date
Speaker 9: or something. We did some mushrooms and uh went for
Speaker 9: a walk and stuff and then came back and there
Speaker 9: was some plenty frozen yogurt and we're like, yeah, that's
Speaker 9: that frozen yogurt and we couldn't get the lid open,
Speaker 9: and I was like, all right, like I know, like
Speaker 9: we're pretty high, you know, I should be confused if
Speaker 9: I can't open this right now because we're pretty high.
Speaker 9: But we tried forever and we ended up sawing and
Speaker 9: open with like a little saw. And I was like
Speaker 9: scared of being so high that I didn't want to
Speaker 9: hurt myself. So we got these thicky like you know,
Speaker 9: I've admit some stuff. And then we were like so
Speaker 9: confused like why we couldn't get it opened, And we
Speaker 9: searched online and there was this tlenty frozen yogurt thing
Speaker 9: where they messed up the lids on a whole batch,
Speaker 9: and uh, that's why we didn't get.
Speaker 2: That article that you're reading about it. Did they recommend
Speaker 2: that you use a saw to open them?
Speaker 9: And that we started busting up laughing because we used well,
Speaker 9: someone used like a In the article they were talking
Speaker 9: about how people were like using crazy means to get
Speaker 9: into their frozen or not gelatow and yeah, no, no,
Speaker 9: there's actually an article if you searched for tlenty lids
Speaker 9: shut or whatever, like we did the same thing. We
Speaker 9: totally hacked it open, and there's and then there was
Speaker 9: an article about it, and then with that ended our confusion.
Speaker 2: So you ended up getting okay, was it a was
Speaker 2: it a handsaw or did you fucking run this under
Speaker 2: like an electric saw?
Speaker 9: No, it was a handsaw, A handsaw.
Speaker 2: Okay, jeez, I was about to say that that would
Speaker 2: freak me the fuck out, because you eventually got it open.
Speaker 9: We got it open, sawt it open. But I was like, man,
Speaker 9: I should be manly than I should be able to
Speaker 9: open open the jars and the lids and ship.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 9: But it was a factory error.
Speaker 2: When you were in your garage shifting through your tool
Speaker 2: shed trying to find a saw to open your yogurt,
Speaker 2: did you at any point think maybe I will eat
Speaker 2: something else.
Speaker 9: I was on a one track line. I don't know.
Speaker 9: The only thing I was thinking of is that was
Speaker 9: gonna hurt myself, So I started looking for gloves and
Speaker 9: hits too.
Speaker 2: Did you take the lead on this project? Was your
Speaker 2: girlfriend of anyhow? What were the roles assigned you were
Speaker 2: in charge of actually sawing the thing? Did she provide
Speaker 2: an emotional support while you were doing this?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think she took a video while I was doing it.
Speaker 2: This is a girl you've only been on four dates with.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was a pretty fun day.
Speaker 2: Okay, how's it going now?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 9: It's like three and a half years later.
Speaker 2: Things are great three and a half years later. Yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 2: That's that yo, that yogurt you know. I feel like
Speaker 2: that's the butterfly effect right there. Right, some dude in
Speaker 2: a factory somewhere funks up. But now you're married.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for sharing that with us, man, I
Speaker 2: appreciate you.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you have a great name, you.
Speaker 2: Too, all right?
Speaker 4: How from Donny Webb?
Speaker 2: Donnie Webb? Ha, Yeah, why are you laughing?
Speaker 9: Because it's a good name.
Speaker 11: I think.
Speaker 2: You're laughing at your own name that you had me say, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: what what?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: What's funny about this name?
Speaker 12: Well, it's something that just can know no, because there's
Speaker 12: no origin story. It just came to my head.
Speaker 2: What are you ashamed of? Funny Web?
Speaker 12: There's a few things I've lingered from my childhood that
Speaker 12: I would be ashamed of.
Speaker 2: Tell me one of these things.
Speaker 12: Well, I can't do a cartwheel or a handstand.
Speaker 2: How old are you?
Speaker 12: Twenty?
Speaker 2: Have you? Is that still important? To you, the ability
Speaker 2: to do a cartwheel or handstand.
Speaker 12: A cartwheel, yes, a handstand.
Speaker 2: Now why is it so important that you are able
Speaker 2: to do a cartwheel at twenty?
Speaker 5: Because?
Speaker 12: Well, I kind of just want the choreography aspect of it.
Speaker 12: I want that to be a skill under my belt.
Speaker 2: It's a pride thing for you.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Would encourage you to think about this because you know
Speaker 2: the ability to do a cartwheel?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 2: Do you person like when you look at it at
Speaker 2: other people, do you find their ability to do cartwheel
Speaker 2: is impressive? Because what I'm wondering about for you is
Speaker 2: this sense of pride that you receive from you know,
Speaker 2: the ability to do a cartwheel? The value that you
Speaker 2: place on your ability to do a cartwheel? Does it
Speaker 2: come from you? Are you the one that truly believes
Speaker 2: that the ability to do a cartwheel is impressive and valuable?
Speaker 2: Or is this a belief that you have gained from
Speaker 2: other people who have set their expectations of whether or
Speaker 2: not someone should be able to do a cartwheel upon
Speaker 2: you and you've absorbed them without stopping to think if
Speaker 2: you actually value the skill intrinsically as opposed to you
Speaker 2: value the skill because other people do.
Speaker 12: I think I am jealous that.
Speaker 10: Well.
Speaker 12: As a kid when I was growing up, my friends
Speaker 12: can make up dances and include cartwheels in their dances
Speaker 12: for the talent show. But I couldn't be a part
Speaker 12: of that. There had to be some sort of modification
Speaker 12: for me.
Speaker 2: Donny Web, you got to let it go. Donny Web,
Speaker 2: look what you lack in cartwheels. I'm sure you make
Speaker 2: up for other things, and I would rather see you
Speaker 2: build the skills that are important to you as opposed to,
Speaker 2: you know, live in the past and try to make
Speaker 2: up for not having known how to do a cartwheel,
Speaker 2: because look, I think you and I both know that
Speaker 2: the ability to do tot cartwheel at twenty years old
Speaker 2: is not that important. In fact, actually I don't think
Speaker 2: it's that important at any age, unless if you're an acrobat,
Speaker 2: which you haven't mentioned to me that you are. No
Speaker 2: Donny Web, I would I'll leave you with this, Donny Web,
Speaker 2: I think that you should find a new skill, the
Speaker 2: one that you picked for yourself, not that you know
Speaker 2: a bunch of other sixth grade girls from your past
Speaker 2: picked for you to Okay, thank you for sharing, Donny Will.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Gak anytime. Good night. The name is kind of funny.
Speaker 4: Actually call from Nick?
Speaker 2: Nick?
Speaker 7: Hello?
Speaker 2: Nick? Can you hear me?
Speaker 9: Is this the therapy?
Speaker 7: Get go?
Speaker 2: Nick? How much money do you make a year?
Speaker 7: Not a lot?
Speaker 2: Man like that actual dollar amount?
Speaker 13: Well, I live overseas, so it's notten dollars. Well that's
Speaker 13: it's in the end. It's probably about.
Speaker 2: Make a year in yen.
Speaker 13: I want to say a little over three million yen.
Speaker 2: So you might not think that's a lot, but I
Speaker 2: have no idea how to convert yen to US dollars,
Speaker 2: so I assume it's a lot.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 13: You just divide by one hundred, so it's like thirty
Speaker 13: thousand US dollars.
Speaker 2: What are you ashamed of?
Speaker 9: A lot?
Speaker 13: A lot of stuff that I've I've done.
Speaker 2: Let's focus on one thing.
Speaker 13: Focus on one thing. I'm gonna have to say, my
Speaker 13: not reaching my academic potential.
Speaker 2: MM, why is reaching your academic potential important to you
Speaker 2: in the first place?
Speaker 13: Because I know I could have I could have done better.
Speaker 13: So it's more of I didn't do the best that
Speaker 13: I could have with what I had.
Speaker 2: Right, I know that, But why does it even matter
Speaker 2: in the first place for you to do good?
Speaker 3: At this.
Speaker 13: Mm hmmm because of all the time and resources that
Speaker 13: I've put into it. I put in so much time
Speaker 13: and energy, and I just I bombed, totally bombed.
Speaker 2: Right, But this ends up being kind of a cycle
Speaker 2: or something, right, because you're putting in a bunch of
Speaker 2: time and effort this thing that's important to you. But
Speaker 2: it's important to you because you're putting a much of
Speaker 2: time and effort into it, And no point in the
Speaker 2: cycle do you stop and truly think about why academic
Speaker 2: success is important to you. It goes in that cycle.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, it's kind of a behind me now, I've
Speaker 13: already already graduated and everything.
Speaker 7: There's nothing I can do about it.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of.
Speaker 13: A situation where I I'm ashamed and there's nothing that
Speaker 13: I can do about it. So I'm not sure how
Speaker 13: to move on from that.
Speaker 2: Graduated high school or college college? Oh well, why are
Speaker 2: you still ashamed of? If it's behind you, does it
Speaker 2: affect you in any way, shape or form in your
Speaker 2: day to day life?
Speaker 13: I think so maybe I could have had a better
Speaker 13: job if I did better. Like I see, see my
Speaker 13: girlfriend she's got like all these she had like a
Speaker 13: perfect grades, and she went's this prestigious car and all
Speaker 13: that stuff, and she has a way better job than
Speaker 13: I do, And I feel kind of envious a little bit.
Speaker 13: And I feel like maybe if I had done better,
Speaker 13: if I studied more, if i'd buckle down, I would
Speaker 13: be in kind of a similar position.
Speaker 2: But I'm not what criteria do you use sugjudge a
Speaker 2: job as good a lot?
Speaker 13: So, first off, she makes a lot more money than
Speaker 13: I do, which you know, good for a see, she
Speaker 13: deserves the job, but she's also way happier at the job,
Speaker 13: and it's something that I could do and it would
Speaker 13: be a perfect fit for me with my skills, but
Speaker 13: I didn't get to get it. We'd see, we actually
Speaker 13: applied for the same job, and she got it, but
Speaker 13: I didn't. And it's because she deserves it way more
Speaker 13: than I did.
Speaker 2: Are you primarily like like this? How about this like
Speaker 2: a good job? Is that primarily to you driven by
Speaker 2: how much money you would make?
Speaker 13: I wouldn't say so. I would say, I mean, it's
Speaker 13: it's certainly part of it, you know, being able.
Speaker 7: To pay the bills.
Speaker 13: But I would say, you know, having an impact on
Speaker 13: people is probably the most important thing. And I feel
Speaker 13: like in the job.
Speaker 2: I want to stop. I want to stop. I want
Speaker 2: to stop you. I'm sorry I interrupted, but I think
Speaker 2: and again, I'm insane man on the internet in a
Speaker 2: gegal costume. I have no idea what I'm doing, so
Speaker 2: don't take anything I say seriously ever, But right there,
Speaker 2: you saying I want to impact people, focus on that.
Speaker 2: I fuck your who gives a fuck what grades you
Speaker 2: got in college? I like, I so mean that so
Speaker 2: much like who, I don't give a fuck what grades
Speaker 2: you got in college. If what you want to do
Speaker 2: is have an impact on people, there are eight trillion
Speaker 2: ways for you to do that that have nothing to
Speaker 2: do with how what kind of grades you got in college.
Speaker 2: So I just focus on that, like as a general direction,
Speaker 2: I want to have an impact on people. And you know,
Speaker 2: maybe you're like narrow mindedly only focusing on the ways
Speaker 2: in which you could achieve that goal that involved you
Speaker 2: needing to have good grades and needing people to like
Speaker 2: look at you on a piece of paper and say
Speaker 2: yes or no. And I would widen that focus into
Speaker 2: other opportunities in which your grades do not matter. And
Speaker 2: I will tell you, even though I am an insane
Speaker 2: man and a get costume. There's no idea what they
Speaker 2: are doing. Those ways exist, so I would look for
Speaker 2: those as opposed to the ones that require you to
Speaker 2: have good grades in college, because I think that's bullshit.
Speaker 2: So just focus upon I want to have an impact
Speaker 2: on people. How can I do that?
Speaker 6: Not?
Speaker 2: How can't I do that?
Speaker 13: Listen, Man, you're no more insane than the rest of us.
Speaker 13: But I appreciate that you. You took the time out
Speaker 13: to talk to me, and I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, man, Well I would you say anyamee
Speaker 2: was onere time?
Speaker 7: Nick?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nick. I wish you good luck? Man, all right,
Speaker 2: take it easy, brother, of course.
Speaker 4: How from Jackie?
Speaker 2: Jackie? You there, Jackie?
Speaker 3: No, you're kidding. This is a joke.
Speaker 2: Is what a joke?
Speaker 3: You actually answered me, I'm watching stream? What's up?
Speaker 2: I did? Don't watch the stream? Turn the stream off.
Speaker 2: There's no stream. I'm streaming right now. You are on
Speaker 2: the with the gecko. You are alone in your room.
Speaker 2: I am in my room. We're both going insane right now,
Speaker 2: and we're going to be in this experience together. Because look, Jackie,
Speaker 2: can I be honest with you right now? People don't
Speaker 2: realize this, Jackie. But I need you right now just
Speaker 2: as much as you may think you need me. Okay,
Speaker 2: for me to be there for you. I need you
Speaker 2: to meet me with my needs. So so so be
Speaker 2: so be with me in this moment, and I'll be
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Okay, I'm here. I'm seeing my name of chat.
Speaker 3: It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2: Don't reachat There is no okay, there's no chat. There's
Speaker 2: when you're with your mom. Okay, you read chat?
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't reach chat? What's chat? What is chat?
Speaker 2: What's cliche?
Speaker 3: What am I ashamed of? All right? All right, I'm ashamed.
Speaker 3: I'm ashamed of fucking up. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: I'm ashamed of messing up.
Speaker 2: What's the last thing you fucked up?
Speaker 3: Something at work? So like I'm trying, I'm trying to
Speaker 3: move up in like a higher position at my job,
Speaker 3: and I kind of fucked up in an interview and
Speaker 3: I just you know, I don't want to like have
Speaker 3: that be my portrayal toward its like mm hm, the
Speaker 3: bigger bosses, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you care? Do you care to share what it
Speaker 2: is you fucked up?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: I think it's just like my anxiety or like like so,
Speaker 3: so the whole thing is like I'm great at what
Speaker 3: I do, like I and I know I am, and
Speaker 3: I'm really calm. But when it's like a one on
Speaker 3: one like confrontational, like I feel like I'm being stared down,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, It's like my anxiety cakes
Speaker 3: in and I feel like I'm being tested.
Speaker 2: And Jackie, if you could, I let's get logistical here,
Speaker 2: what specifically what event transpired? Because now, because to me,
Speaker 2: I'm like the fact that like you're you're no, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm kind of being serious right now. To me,
Speaker 2: the fact that you you didn't respond with like an
Speaker 2: actual event of a thing that you like logistically, I
Speaker 2: fucking jammed the copier, I fucked up my power point slide.
Speaker 2: The fact that you haven't given me an in real
Speaker 2: world thing that you fucked up is kind of making
Speaker 2: me believe that the fact that you fucked up might
Speaker 2: be in your head, because that's understandable. But I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe I spoke too soon. Is there a real life
Speaker 2: event thing that you did?
Speaker 3: Probably not recently, no, no, so yeah, your head, yo,
Speaker 3: you know what you solve my problem. That's it. You
Speaker 3: solved it.
Speaker 2: I get it. I think I fucked up all the time.
Speaker 2: It goes to be in your head, and that's a
Speaker 2: good thing. That means you didn't fuck up. Yeah the way,
Speaker 2: even if you didn't suck up, who cares? Fuck All
Speaker 2: those people gonna die just like you are and me.
Speaker 3: It's it's hard. It's hard to like bring yourself to
Speaker 3: that understanding and be that like introspective about yourself. You know,
Speaker 3: like sometimes sometimes I look in the mirror and honestly,
Speaker 3: like I don't even recognize what I look like. Like
Speaker 3: does that make any sense to you?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, Like like I know what I look like, but
Speaker 3: I don't perceive myself physically like I'm perceiving myself everything,
Speaker 3: like mentally, like what's going on, Like what I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: what I'm doing?
Speaker 2: Can I bring to this something that I've been noticing
Speaker 2: recently and I think it might be related or I
Speaker 2: think this is related and tied into what you're trying
Speaker 2: to tell me lately, Like while I'm doing this stream, yeah,
Speaker 2: all in my head, I'll think that like a response
Speaker 2: I've given or like a way that I've conducted myself
Speaker 2: was one way or came off one way, and then
Speaker 2: I'll go back and I'll watch the VOD and I'll
Speaker 2: be like, oh, that actually, like when I actually I
Speaker 2: watched myself do it as opposed to experiencing it as myself,
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, that actually that actually wasn't that bad.
Speaker 2: That actually was nowhere near as bad as I thought
Speaker 2: it was gonna be or as I thought it was.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of keying me. That experience of of
Speaker 2: I'm doing this right now and then it looks different
Speaker 2: it's I go back and I watch it as a
Speaker 2: viewer as supposed to be doing it keys me into
Speaker 2: more of that idea that the way that we think
Speaker 2: we're coming off is different from how we actually are.
Speaker 3: That definitely makes sense. No, I totally understand that.
Speaker 2: And to that point, would you say your name was Jackie,
Speaker 2: It's Jackie Jackie. To that point, it's also keyed me
Speaker 2: into how easy it is to fool people. Okay, so Jackie,
Speaker 2: all you have to do to not come off, to
Speaker 2: not make people think that you fucked up is just
Speaker 2: fully in your head believe that you did not fuck up,
Speaker 2: and then you will act as if you did not
Speaker 2: fuck up, and then everyone will accept you as not
Speaker 2: having fucked up.
Speaker 3: You're so right, You're really right. It's it's a whole
Speaker 3: like validation thing, like you have to validate yourself absolutely.
Speaker 3: How is your bladder doing, by the way, like like
Speaker 3: you gotta pee really bad?
Speaker 2: No, because I'm I'm I think that. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm focused in on what I'm doing right now, so
Speaker 2: I haven't. My attention has been drawn away from my bladder.
Speaker 2: But I appreciate you checking in, Jackie. Yeah, yeah, for sharing, Jackie.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Of course. I'm glad to be on on on stream.
Speaker 3: Wait the stream? What's the stream? What's chot? Okay, I'm

Speaker 5: Oh hello Emily, Hi?
Speaker 14: Hellomia, Yes Hi, what's so?
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, Emily? Did you we did we talk on Did
Speaker 2: we talk on Monday? O?
Speaker 8: Way, we talked?
Speaker 2: We talked on Wednesday? Emily.
Speaker 4: No, that that wasn't me, that was you.
Speaker 2: That's a different Emily.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't watching this Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Have we ever spoken before?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 4: It was my first time calling.
Speaker 2: Actually tell me everything about you, Emily.
Speaker 4: Uh, okay, I'm twenty five, I work in New York City,
Speaker 4: and yeah, not really an exciting life right now during
Speaker 4: COVID time, but I appreciate you picking up my call.
Speaker 2: Oh, of course. What is life like in New York
Speaker 2: City right now?
Speaker 4: It's really weird, actually, you know, like it's just so
Speaker 4: quiet and dead. Honestly, not many people. A lot of
Speaker 4: people left the city, so it's not really bustling right now.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a controversy going on where New Yorkers,
Speaker 2: you know, the gatekeepy sort of real new Yorkers, are,
Speaker 2: you know, making fun with all the people that left
Speaker 2: the city. Is that a sentiment that you have experienced
Speaker 2: out in the wild?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not originally from New York City, so
Speaker 4: I don't know if I necessarily resonate.
Speaker 15: With that, but I do.
Speaker 14: I do see it a little bit, I guess.
Speaker 2: And they have a question for you, Yeah, have you
Speaker 2: ever been confused?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm actually going through something right now
Speaker 4: that's kind of a bit confusing, I guess you.
Speaker 2: Would say, a bit confusing.
Speaker 4: You say, yeah, I mean it's it's like, you know,
Speaker 4: like a personal situation, like roommate situations, So you're probably
Speaker 4: tired of hearing about these. But like, I don't know
Speaker 4: if I'm I don't know if I'm being like paranoid
Speaker 4: about something or something's actually happening in my apartment. But
Speaker 4: I'm trying to I'm trying to figure it out, but
Speaker 4: it's it's definitely very confusing for me.
Speaker 2: What are the details, what what have you? What's what's
Speaker 2: the intel on the situation as it stands.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I've been feeling some tensions with
Speaker 4: my roommates I love with three other girls, and I've
Speaker 4: been feeling like they kind of want me out because
Speaker 4: we have to sign our lease for next year soon,
Speaker 4: and I kind of feel like they're ganging up against
Speaker 4: me and trying to make things really uncomfortable for me,
Speaker 4: so I want to leave. And the part where I'm
Speaker 4: I can't tell if I'm paranoid or not, is that
Speaker 4: the past few weeks flashed this past month where I've
Speaker 4: been really feeling this tension and like isolation. I've had
Speaker 4: like three allergic reactions where I've had to go to
Speaker 4: the hospital and my roommates know what I'm definitely allergic to.
Speaker 4: They know I cannot eat peanuts, and somehow I just
Speaker 4: keep getting anaphylaxis and ending of in the hospital. And
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but like, I
Speaker 4: think it's weird that they're trying to nudge me out
Speaker 4: of the apartment and make sure I'm not living with
Speaker 4: them next year. And there's all these coincidences of their
Speaker 4: being traces of peanuts in my food and the ending
Speaker 4: up in the hospital and ending up having to pay
Speaker 4: obscene hospital bills, you know, And I just there's been
Speaker 4: a few scenarios where I thought I caught them and
Speaker 4: I just I can't figure it out. And I don't
Speaker 4: know if I'm hallucinating or being paranoid, but it's just
Speaker 4: so confusing and I don't know what to do about it.
Speaker 2: Wow, that would be massively fucked up if they were.
Speaker 4: Doing that, right, which is why it's such a big
Speaker 4: accusation to point at them. And I just don't know
Speaker 4: what to do anymore.
Speaker 2: It is it's a heavy accusation to point at them.
Speaker 2: But hmm, what I'm curious. I know you say it's
Speaker 2: like paranoia, and do you do you have any like
Speaker 2: what could you go any further into what you believe
Speaker 2: your evidence would be or sort of the root of
Speaker 2: your what These are fancy ways for me to ask
Speaker 2: why do you think they're doing this? Or what makes
Speaker 2: you think they're doing this?
Speaker 4: I mean, there were like a few scenarios, but like
Speaker 4: at one where I really thought I got them was
Speaker 4: two weeks ago. I was making this smoothie in the
Speaker 4: kitchen because it was kind of neutrable and it's like
Speaker 4: my favorite thing ever. But like, I also had just
Speaker 4: ordered food for later in the day, so I was
Speaker 4: like mid smoothie making, but I ran downstairs to go
Speaker 4: pick up my my Super East order.
Speaker 2: U smoothie out in the open.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, And then you know I came back continued,
Speaker 4: you know, cooking up my smoothie, and when I had it,
Speaker 4: I was like, fuck, like my mouth is tingling, like
Speaker 4: I think I'm going through anaphylaxis. And there was There's
Speaker 4: literally nothing I could have put in this movie to
Speaker 4: make it. Why would I poison myself?
Speaker 2: You know, you double checked everything, you didn't you didn't
Speaker 2: go to Trader Joe's and get a new fucking Xanthon
Speaker 2: gum thing or all the ingredients are tried test the
Speaker 2: trude nothing possibly could have gotten in there under your watch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely know, And I know that one of
Speaker 4: my roommates was home during the time, so I feel
Speaker 4: like maybe she might have flipped something into my movie.
Speaker 15: I I really.
Speaker 4: Don't know, but it's it's just it's just too weird,
Speaker 4: the timing.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: Wow hmm. I mean, what is your person? What have
Speaker 2: your like relationships been like with these? Like how do
Speaker 2: they act to it's you? Is it? Is it conniving
Speaker 2: or strange.
Speaker 4: Or just very like cold intense lately, like they want
Speaker 4: to make it uncomfortable, so I don't want to live
Speaker 4: here anymore, but like it's such a good location and
Speaker 4: such a good rent.
Speaker 2: And like no, no, no, you know, no no, no. Look
Speaker 2: look even if even if and we don't know if
Speaker 2: they're poison if they're trying to poison you or not,
Speaker 2: but the fact that you're paranoid that they even would,
Speaker 2: the fact that your relationship with them is such that
Speaker 2: the idea that they would purposely try to poison you
Speaker 2: and send you into afterlax shut. The fact that your
Speaker 2: relationship with them is such that that idea even could
Speaker 2: enter your head means that you should not be living
Speaker 2: with these people. But even if it's such a great location,
Speaker 2: even if you feel like leaving would make it feel
Speaker 2: like they won or got rid of you, and you
Speaker 2: don't want that, you should leave.
Speaker 4: But that's like surrendering, you know, Like, yeah, surrender.
Speaker 2: Surrender a lot of There's no reason to keep yourself
Speaker 2: in a poor situation just because you want to. You
Speaker 2: want to win, because what you really win is absolutely
Speaker 2: the prize is that you get to live in fear.
Speaker 2: But it's not a great prize. I think surrendering is
Speaker 2: not a terrible option.
Speaker 4: Like hear me out, Like what if I got back
Speaker 4: at them somehow and then leave them all?
Speaker 3: Leave?
Speaker 2: That's too much work for you?
Speaker 3: Are you sure?
Speaker 14: Like what would you do if you're in a situation.
Speaker 2: But I would leave getting revenge? You have nothing to
Speaker 2: win by getting revenge or by staying. Whether or not
Speaker 2: these people did it poisoned you doesn't matter because, like
Speaker 2: I said, the fact that they would even enter your brain,
Speaker 2: that they would means that your relationship with them is
Speaker 2: is kind of fucked up and weird, which means you
Speaker 2: should just leave. Don't try to get back at them,
Speaker 2: don't try to let them win.
Speaker 3: Just leave.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's what I would do if I were
Speaker 2: in your situation.
Speaker 4: But like I even tried to like sit them down
Speaker 4: once and I was like, guys, like like I like
Speaker 4: brought them. I was like, Chloe, sir, I'mily, like come here,
Speaker 4: like we need to talk about this, and they completely
Speaker 4: just denied it all and told me I was crazy.
Speaker 2: Let them do what your name was?
Speaker 4: Whose name my roommates?
Speaker 2: No, your oh, your name is Emily, Emily. Let your
Speaker 2: roommates win this stupid battle and move on with your life.
Speaker 2: That that's my final words to you. Okay, but uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I appreciate you calling in and thank you
Speaker 2: for share. I hope that I hope you're all right.
Speaker 2: I hope that you didn't you're not. You know, they didn't.
Speaker 2: You don't have peanut lung or. I just made that up.
Speaker 2: But you know, please please please listen to me. Don't
Speaker 2: fucking go on a revenge crusade. It's not going to
Speaker 2: help you. Don't try to win, don't play this game.
Speaker 2: Just leave. That's why I think. I know I don't
Speaker 2: like to give people actual but that I do the leave.
Speaker 2: Don't play these games. They're stupid. Don't try to win
Speaker 2: because you don't win anything you win, you win further.
Speaker 4: Stress, I'm talking to my mom right now.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't say your name, Chloe. I was just
Speaker 4: talking to my mom. It's good.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, okay, The people of the chest saying,
Speaker 2: first of all, all right, there's another thing. If you're
Speaker 2: new to this stream, my view on fake calls is
Speaker 2: that doesn't fucking matter. What if people someone could call
Speaker 2: in with something that's clearly fake? Who fucking cares? All?
Speaker 4: From?
Speaker 14: Uh to accept?
Speaker 2: What confused you about the call screening process? What you're
Speaker 2: still confused? Still confused? Yeah? What can I clear up
Speaker 2: for you?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 16: What you said at first?
Speaker 2: Said at first, like when you first answered, or when
Speaker 2: Google Voice asked you to state your name and you said.
Speaker 16: Uh uh when I first answered?
Speaker 2: And do you want me to catch you up to
Speaker 2: where we are? We can go two ways with this.
Speaker 2: I could. I could this because I think what we're
Speaker 2: engaging in right now is kind of bullshit. But it
Speaker 2: is also you know, I take full responsibility for because
Speaker 2: this is the line that I decided to take us down. Well,
Speaker 2: we could either continue down this path of sort of
Speaker 2: going in circles, not really knowing what we're talking about,
Speaker 2: me railing on you for being confused, and then that
Speaker 2: confusing you even more because you don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Or we could just start completely fresh, as if we're
Speaker 2: two people having a conversation with each other like normal
Speaker 2: human beings. Which of those two options would you like
Speaker 2: to go down? Because I'm open to either.
Speaker 16: All right, door to you.
Speaker 2: What are you looking at.
Speaker 16: My roomba running around my house?
Speaker 2: When do you get a rouma? How long have you
Speaker 2: had it for?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 16: I I got it for graduating college, so I guess
Speaker 16: that's like three years now, a little bit longer than
Speaker 16: most people.
Speaker 2: But can I ask you something and it might be
Speaker 2: a little bit personal?
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure.
Speaker 2: Do you feel as though you have developed any sort
Speaker 2: of I'm not gonna say strong, but perhaps above average
Speaker 2: emotional connection with your rumba after having had it for
Speaker 2: so long and identifying it, you know, possibly as a
Speaker 2: sentient object?
Speaker 16: You know, I would say definitely yes, but uh, at
Speaker 16: the same time, I also, I don't have a name
Speaker 16: for rumba yet. It's still just rumba. But I mean
Speaker 16: I look at I look at Rumba, and like I
Speaker 16: get like this like little little happy feeling when I
Speaker 16: see him running around and bumping into walls and going
Speaker 16: into crevices and getting confused, and it's a little happy
Speaker 16: noises he makes. So Yeah, definitely, I don't think I've
Speaker 16: ever been so attached to a vacuum before.
Speaker 2: And how do you think that room of views you?
Speaker 17: Hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 16: Is it fucked up that I've never thought about that?
Speaker 16: Am I allowed to curse? Is this like a family channel?
Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want to me, You can
Speaker 2: say contiff you will?
Speaker 16: I would never, But yeah, I guess I was like
Speaker 16: not taken into consideration so much. How rumba confuse me?
Speaker 16: I hope it's not like a like a master sort
Speaker 16: of position, Like I want to be like almost like
Speaker 16: a colleague of rumba, But at the same time I'm
Speaker 16: giving a command. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Do you would you rather be feared or loved by
Speaker 2: your rumba?
Speaker 6: Hm?
Speaker 16: What what.
Speaker 6: That is?
Speaker 16: Machiavelli?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Is that his name macavel?
Speaker 16: Yeah, in the case of rumba, I would I would
Speaker 16: say love, you know, just like I feel like fostering
Speaker 16: a relationship with Rumba is important because like, you know,
Speaker 16: I love Rumba. I want Rumba to love me and
Speaker 16: not feel like I'm subjugating Rumba and uh like otherwise,
Speaker 16: like what if Rumba decides to like turn on me
Speaker 16: or something, you know, like if Ruba doesn't love me,
Speaker 16: what is stopping Rumba for doing that?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 16: Like what if Rumba decides not to vacuum?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Uh, You've been very vulnerable with us over the course
Speaker 2: of this column, and I want to end this by saying,
Speaker 2: I think that you should tell everything that you've told
Speaker 2: us to Rumba and see how they respond to Maybe
Speaker 2: you can develop a greater relationship than the one you've
Speaker 2: had right now, because it doesn't sound like the relationship
Speaker 2: between you and Rumba has a lot of communication going on.
Speaker 2: So I would go ahead and start that dialogue as
Speaker 2: soon as you possibly can before Rumba fears you in
Speaker 2: an irreversible way.
Speaker 16: Damn all right, I'll do that, Thank you anytime.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you soon, all right, But.
Speaker 8: All from us.
Speaker 2: To expect yes, yes, hello, how are you doing?
Speaker 11: S doing pretty?
Speaker 5: Well, not the.
Speaker 11: Most productive day, but I found your stream pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: What did you want to get done? Uh?
Speaker 11: Well, I anticipated to have work today, but my boss
Speaker 11: never messaged me. So honestly, I just said that in
Speaker 11: all day just on the laptop.
Speaker 2: But what do you do on the laptop, I'll.
Speaker 11: Just playing games. I want to work out, but I
Speaker 11: just got too into.
Speaker 5: It, so I was just really criticis criticized you myself.
Speaker 11: And then the last forty minutes I've just been watching
Speaker 11: your stream.
Speaker 2: I've been streaming for forty minutes.
Speaker 11: Like thirty six. Yeah, why you don't like it?
Speaker 2: No, it's actually yeah, I feel like, uh no, I'm
Speaker 2: in a more I'm learning more how to how to
Speaker 2: get so much of how so much of my experience
Speaker 2: with the stream is about my energy levels, and I'm
Speaker 2: learning how to best prime my energy levels to you know,
Speaker 2: get into and I think when I have high energy
Speaker 2: it goes by quicker. Anyway, that's it's not it's not
Speaker 2: about me. Nothing is about me. No one ever owes
Speaker 2: me anything. Every no one ever owes you anything ever
Speaker 2: s What have you ever been confused?
Speaker 17: Mmm?
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, definitely, most good amount of times.
Speaker 2: Tell me about the last time you were confused.
Speaker 11: I don't want to tell you, I mean the last
Speaker 11: time I was confused. It's pretty a boring story, but
Speaker 11: I'll give you an interesting story from so around when
Speaker 11: I was ten, I'll give you I'll keep it quick,
Speaker 11: around when I was ten. I'm Mongolian. Right, So around
Speaker 11: when I was ten, when I went to my cousin's place,
Speaker 11: all my family was there, and I started noticing, one
Speaker 11: by one they all started going upstairs, right, And I
Speaker 11: go upstairs just to see what's happening where my family is.
Speaker 11: And I noticed that they're all in the room on
Speaker 11: their knees and they're just they're circling my cousin, right.
Speaker 11: And my cousin comes out in this wardrobe and he's
Speaker 11: wearing this cultural cultural outfit and he's doing a little
Speaker 11: how do I say, like a little dance or some
Speaker 11: almost and my aunt, my cousin, gives him a tea,
Speaker 11: and my cousin sounds like me. Right, my voice may.
Speaker 3: Be a little deeper.
Speaker 11: But after he did all that, he his voice became grizzly,
Speaker 11: you know something, you know, almost scary ominous sort of right,
Speaker 11: I got, I got to greeked up, and I left.
Speaker 11: I left, and five years, four years later, I don't
Speaker 11: talk about this, and I tell my cousin, you know
Speaker 11: what happened?
Speaker 7: What was that?
Speaker 11: What happened to you know, let's get a cousin bill
Speaker 11: and told me he's a shawman, right, And she told
Speaker 11: me he's a shaman, and shamans are people who connect
Speaker 11: our ancestors, you know, with to the family almost. And
Speaker 11: so I asked, so our ancestor went into him, he
Speaker 11: got possessed, that's what That's what I said to her.
Speaker 11: And she said, it's not a possession, it's more of
Speaker 11: an invitation, right, And she said I started understanding, and
Speaker 11: I was almost. I was. I didn't believe it at first,
Speaker 11: you know, and I asked, like she got like come
Speaker 11: on there, like I think this is like, you know,
Speaker 11: it's bull crap, right, I don't think it's real. And
Speaker 11: then she's telling me, well, she told me a story
Speaker 11: where when she was pregnant, she got to the car
Speaker 11: crash and you know, she almost she could have died.
Speaker 11: But a week after the car crash, she was all right.
Speaker 11: They did another ritual with my cousin again, and an
Speaker 11: ancestor came into him, and she said like, she asked
Speaker 11: our ancestor, like, what happened? Why am I alive?
Speaker 2: And you know, so this was a ritual to possess
Speaker 2: your cousin with.
Speaker 11: A possession number, not a possession, an invitation, yes, invitation okay.
Speaker 2: So so they were per forming a ritual to invite
Speaker 2: your ancestor into the body of your cousin for the
Speaker 2: purpose of asking your grandmother answer the purpose of asking questions.
Speaker 2: But why, but even but even if, why would your
Speaker 2: ancestor know the answer to why ram I got into
Speaker 2: a car crash?
Speaker 11: See, I was going to get to that point. I
Speaker 11: was going to get to that point, right, Okay, So
Speaker 11: let's no no, no, no, no, thank no, thank thanks for
Speaker 11: bringing that up. So I asked my cousin, does door
Speaker 11: ancestors have the answer to everything? And she said yes,
Speaker 11: yes to do. And I was like, and you know
Speaker 11: as a mongoi and I asked, you know, related to
Speaker 11: gang is Cone Shing is gone? And she said no answered.
Speaker 11: I was like, okay, so they had to answer to everything.
Speaker 11: I was like, can you ask can you ask your
Speaker 11: ancestors what happened? What's you know, what's in our future?
Speaker 11: You know, what's what awaits us. You know, am I
Speaker 11: gonna Am I going to be a failure? Am I
Speaker 11: going to be successful? I want to know? And she said, well,
Speaker 11: what's the point of asking them? Because if you asked
Speaker 11: them that they give you the answer, then they you
Speaker 11: you wouldn't be living life, you'd just be expecting something
Speaker 11: and exactly right. And that's why that that's back to
Speaker 11: what she said. You know, what if they don't have answer,
Speaker 11: what if it just making it up almost as like
Speaker 11: a false hope. So that's why it's kind of confusing,
Speaker 11: and not just that I told you.
Speaker 2: Did you end up asking why why your grandma got
Speaker 2: into a car crush.
Speaker 11: And not my grandma my cousin? Oh yeah, so uh.
Speaker 2: I'm confused, just too many? Did you find out why
Speaker 2: your cousin got into a ark crush?
Speaker 11: Is supposedly she told me? Uh, she said, like, why
Speaker 11: am I alive? Will happen like and my ancestor this
Speaker 11: is a while ago, buddy, If what I remember was
Speaker 11: my she said, my ancestor said that she was pregnant
Speaker 11: and she she had to give birth to to the
Speaker 11: baby and her it's pretty crazy. Mm hmmm, yes, So
Speaker 11: that's why I thought. So that's why I'm a little
Speaker 11: confusing whether you know whether it's all true or not,
Speaker 11: especially because my best friend's dad I told him the
Speaker 11: story and he doesn't believe it.
Speaker 6: You know, but.
Speaker 2: What is your cousin? What is you when you talk
Speaker 2: to your cousin about this? How have you asked your
Speaker 2: cousin to describe the physical experience of inviting his ancestor
Speaker 2: into his body?
Speaker 11: To be honest, I've never. I've never I had the
Speaker 11: guts to ask him. I think it's too personal. I
Speaker 11: wouldn't want to ask him like how does it feel?
Speaker 11: Or like is it true? Are you lying to the family?
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think you're you're you know,
Speaker 2: approaching it. I don't think you are intending to approach
Speaker 2: it as an interrogation, uh, to figure out the truth.
Speaker 2: But you know, more of.
Speaker 11: I kind of, I kind of, I kind of don't
Speaker 11: want to do it out of respect because he's so
Speaker 11: much older than me, you know.
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm getting the sense that that's uh, you know,
Speaker 2: sort of a you know, a thing respecting those who
Speaker 2: are who are older than you and their traditions.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for sharing that with us. That was
Speaker 2: pretty interesting.
Speaker 11: Yeah, most definitely.
Speaker 2: What's the do you know? Do you know at least
Speaker 2: the name or if it has one of this ceremony uh,
Speaker 2: the ceremony, yes, uh, what it is called.
Speaker 11: I'm not knowledgeable about it, but I know my cousin
Speaker 11: is a shaman. Shaman. Uh maybe there is more terms
Speaker 11: to it other than but that's all I know. He's
Speaker 11: a shaman though.
Speaker 2: Well s you say the name is s Yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: thank you for sharing that. That was very interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I hope you hope you have I help you.
Speaker 2: I hope you get those answers or or maybe one
Speaker 2: day figured them out for yourself. You know, ghosts into
Speaker 2: your body and ship.
Speaker 3: Now ghosts.
Speaker 11: But uh, hold on, maybe I will find it.
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll maybe.
Speaker 11: I'll i'll, you know, get the guts, you know to
Speaker 11: ask my cousin about all this.
Speaker 2: I wish you the boss of luck.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Thank you of course, anytime I talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah too, you know, he's a he is brave. I'm
Speaker 2: not like ghosts anywhere into my body. I don't care.
Speaker 2: If it is my grandma, she can have the dog.
Speaker 2: We'll give her the dog. She can go into the
Speaker 2: dog and we'll ask her questions and that would be
Speaker 2: kind of cool because then the dog. Then we'll get
Speaker 2: a dog to talk, and that would be funny. We'll
Speaker 2: have a talking dog who's my grandma. That's comical. All
Speaker 2: from Rose, Rose, don't forget, don't forget. How are you Rose?
Speaker 15: I'm really well? How are you?
Speaker 2: You're really well?
Speaker 18: Yeah, like you're.
Speaker 15: Like last week and you didn't pick up the phone.
Speaker 2: Because you call it how many times?
Speaker 15: Three hundred times?
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, and I tell this to everyone,
Speaker 2: you know, so you're mainly well because of the fact
Speaker 2: that you got onto the stream tonight.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Like, I have something really serious to talk about
Speaker 15: and I'm to.
Speaker 9: Talk to you about it.
Speaker 2: But but you should know you're vesting too much of
Speaker 2: your own happiness upon me. You're you're you're sort of
Speaker 2: giving up your ownership over the direction of your happiness
Speaker 2: to me, you know, because I don't I don't want
Speaker 2: to be I should there, I shouldn't be. You know,
Speaker 2: how do I put this? You know, your happiness shouldn't
Speaker 2: rest upon me answering your calls. You shouldn't care about
Speaker 2: me at all, And in regards to your own happy,
Speaker 2: that makes me happy. Well, thank you? That's very sweet
Speaker 2: of you to say, what did you want to talk about?
Speaker 15: So I'm in this discord with like a bunch.
Speaker 18: Of really like old friends and like you really like
Speaker 18: each other and.
Speaker 15: Like we're really close, but there's just like one person
Speaker 15: who just constantly brings the drama. His name is Cameron,
Speaker 15: by the way, Like I have to just vent.
Speaker 18: It out, and he's always like inciting drama and like
Speaker 18: bringing up people's insecurities, and like I don't know how
Speaker 18: to be mean because like I'm a cancer and I
Speaker 18: feel like I didn't just crying for them if they
Speaker 18: like end up disappearing. But it's just so irritating when
Speaker 18: I want to be in a safe space with like
Speaker 18: my friends, and I can't because Cameron comes in and
Speaker 18: like throws all his problems on us, and then he's
Speaker 18: just like.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Andrew, you're like so boring. So like I don't
Speaker 15: really know what to do, and I don't know why
Speaker 15: I feel like this.
Speaker 2: Are you saying, I'm I'm curious, I'm trying to understand
Speaker 2: Cameron's behavior. You're saying that they uh like throw their
Speaker 2: problems out to everyone and they're burdening you with their
Speaker 2: problems or they are shitting on everyone and calling them all,
Speaker 2: you know, bad names and telling them that they suck both.
Speaker 15: He's like the definition and you know what, I'm not
Speaker 15: going to curse a you know.
Speaker 2: Ah, you can say whatever. You can just say asshole, asshole,
Speaker 2: you can say you can't. You can't say cocksucker because TikTok.
Speaker 2: You can say it. I can't say but.
Speaker 15: Okay, wait wait wait wait can I say that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You can. I just can't say it because it's
Speaker 2: get banned. But you can say okay anyway, all right,
Speaker 2: how did you be?
Speaker 6: How?
Speaker 2: What is your what is your personal relationship with Cameron
Speaker 2: as opposed to the sort of group dynamic.
Speaker 18: Well, like we have a connection with like playing Overwatch
Speaker 18: because like as I mentioned, I'm a cancer, so that
Speaker 18: also means like I'm a really toxic person when it
Speaker 18: comes to like venting out like my anger.
Speaker 2: So we play Can I can I take? Can I
Speaker 2: take a detour here? Real quick?
Speaker 15: Go ahead?
Speaker 2: And maybe you'd be a good but you seem, you know,
Speaker 2: like like a person who I could have this conversation with.
Speaker 2: I've thought about this before and I'm not here. This
Speaker 2: is not like a dig at astrology, and this is
Speaker 2: not like to make fun of astrology. This is not
Speaker 2: to like shit on people who like it. But I
Speaker 2: have I have a bit of a problem with and
Speaker 2: I actually, we're curious about your perspective on this. I
Speaker 2: believe especially I think it's a little dangerous. And again
Speaker 2: I'm just curious about this. I'm not here to make
Speaker 2: like state there's not a statement. I'm just exploring this
Speaker 2: to me, to me, the idea of astrology, especially like
Speaker 2: for young people. I know that like you know, you know, younger,
Speaker 2: younger people and like TikTok are getting into it. My
Speaker 2: problem with it is that when you like define yourself
Speaker 2: and label yourself so early, especially so early in life,
Speaker 2: you know, when you're when you say, when you say
Speaker 2: things like I'm a cancer, so that means I'm toxic.
Speaker 2: I feel like it predisposes you to Okay, I believe
Speaker 2: I am a cancer. Therefore I think about being cancer,
Speaker 2: and then you know, I mean, therefore I think about
Speaker 2: being toxic, and then that in turn makes you act
Speaker 2: more toxic. Does that make like? I think I think
Speaker 2: that that's sort of labeling is dangerous, especially for younger people,
Speaker 2: because what if you don't want to be toxic. But
Speaker 2: like you have this thing in your head of like,
Speaker 2: I'm a cancer, so I must be toxic. Isn't that
Speaker 2: what do you think about?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 18: But maybe I should like reword it and say, oh,
Speaker 18: I was born in you know, July, and like I.
Speaker 15: Am toxic, but it's not because I'm a cancer. That
Speaker 15: is that better? Because I feel like a lot of.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but that's not but that's but that's not
Speaker 2: you had to like sort of take a double step
Speaker 2: to get there. You started out with I am a cancer,
Speaker 2: THEREFOREM toxic. So that to me indicates you know, and
Speaker 2: again I'm sure therapy shit, but that to me makes
Speaker 2: me think that that's just sort of the the the
Speaker 2: inherent programming of of your brain right now.
Speaker 18: Yeah, well maybe like for example, like I was saying,
Speaker 18: I cry a lot, Like I'm that person you can't
Speaker 18: take this sad movie or like talk about like a
Speaker 18: really serious topic because I start crying and like I
Speaker 18: don't know why, And like every other cancer not you know,
Speaker 18: I haven't met every cancer in the whole entire world,
Speaker 18: but the cancers that I have met have the same issue,
Speaker 18: where like they just are like compulsive criers. They're like
Speaker 18: really into their feelings. And that's what like, you know,
Speaker 18: these TikTokers talk about is like cancers are always like
Speaker 18: with Hoodie.
Speaker 15: In their room crying. It's like, I don't know why.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 15: It's like a whole astrology is like this whole other
Speaker 15: issue because as you said, it just predisposes like norms
Speaker 15: on people.
Speaker 18: But I don't know.
Speaker 15: It's weird that, like there are.
Speaker 18: A lot of things that certain signs do.
Speaker 15: That they like repeat in different people.
Speaker 12: It's strange.
Speaker 2: It's just right and you know, you know it look
Speaker 2: if it helps you and if you like it, then good.
Speaker 2: But it does something does sort of ring alarm bells
Speaker 2: to me of this sort of like trend of people
Speaker 2: really heavily wanting to label themselves because it just feels
Speaker 2: dangerous to gross anyway, that's a won't do that again.
Speaker 2: I've been I've been trying to keep the call short lately,
Speaker 2: but that's something I've just been thinking about a lot lately.
Speaker 2: Any all right, Cameron, Yeah, tell them just don't be
Speaker 2: friends with him anymore, don't play overwatch with other someone else.
Speaker 18: But like, what am I supposed to do with my
Speaker 18: like emotional attachment to him, and like, who am I
Speaker 18: supposed to scream at people on Overwatch with?
Speaker 15: Because nobody else wants to do with me?
Speaker 2: Uh, why do you want to scream at people on Overwatch?
Speaker 10: Because I like, I.
Speaker 18: Don't know if you played have you played Overwatch before? Well, Mike,
Speaker 18: I play a lot of competitive so you know, it's
Speaker 18: like a supposed team games, but like people just end
Speaker 18: up like doing whatever they want in there. And yes,
Speaker 18: it's like a video game, but it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 18: it's like watching football, Like football is a game. And
Speaker 18: so when somebody does something that they shouldn't have done,
Speaker 18: but they did it just to kind of fuck around,
Speaker 18: you get angry and I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, so, well, maybe she'll work on your angry issues.
Speaker 15: Maybe maybe I'm maybe I'm the issue here.
Speaker 2: Well you're Look, you could both be the issue, but
Speaker 2: you're the issue that's easier to control because you're you
Speaker 2: and he's him.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you're right, but uh.
Speaker 2: Look, also, don't take anything I say seriously.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what I'm doing up here, but
Speaker 2: I appreciate your risk. Thank you for that.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you for.
Speaker 15: Talking to me, think no, thank you for picking up.

Speaker 7: What's up man?
Speaker 6: How you doing?
Speaker 2: What's up with you? What are you doing?
Speaker 6: Dude?
Speaker 7: I'm playing some Minecraft right now.
Speaker 2: What's the why is there is we're having a where?
Speaker 2: It's gamer? Oh it's the gamer section of You know,
Speaker 2: I never.
Speaker 7: Thought I got it on your show. I really I

Speaker 2: Oh, thank you dude. How'd you been talking about it?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 19: Oh, TikTok, TikTok. I watched one of your clips on TikTok.
Speaker 19: I was fuck, fuck, it's really good.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 19: How how long you been doing this? Because I found
Speaker 19: out in September and I figured I was late to
Speaker 19: the game.
Speaker 7: But you know, I heard you.
Speaker 2: A lot of the times when people ask me how
Speaker 2: I have been doing this, I do a bit and
Speaker 2: I tell them I've been doing it for ten years.
Speaker 2: But and I was about to do that, but you
Speaker 2: sound but you sound so so sweet. I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to troll you.
Speaker 3: Mix D.
Speaker 2: I don't want to. You know, you know x D
Speaker 2: God trolled you right right.
Speaker 7: I got a question, bro.
Speaker 2: I've been doing this since June what's up June?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 7: Cool? Do you ever smoked weed?
Speaker 2: Why do you ask?
Speaker 7: Could you just.
Speaker 19: Seem like a really chill guy. You seem like you
Speaker 19: you do either with a glass of wine or you
Speaker 19: know something you hit, you hit something for this, No whe.
Speaker 2: Here, I'm gonna explain my stance on uh that. Here's
Speaker 2: my problem. Here's my problem. What you say your name
Speaker 2: was William? My problem, dude is that, like, yes, I
Speaker 2: smoke weed, but I'm not high right now. I couldn't
Speaker 2: do this stream if I were high right now, that
Speaker 2: would be a nightmare for me. I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 2: stone cold sober. I've been one hundred percent stone cold
Speaker 2: sober for every single stream I've done. I don't like
Speaker 2: telling like, but you know, after the stream, I'll, you know,
Speaker 2: I'll chill out, you know, if I want to just
Speaker 2: relax and get high, because dude, getting a high for
Speaker 2: me is like, you know, I'm just trying to relax
Speaker 2: and this is not relaxing at all. This I mean
Speaker 2: is it is relaxed.
Speaker 19: It makes sense, like chemical fumes in your in your
Speaker 19: nose and everything that that seems that doesn't seem comfortable,
Speaker 19: you know.
Speaker 2: But what I mean, look, this is like, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a lie. You know, I gotta I I how
Speaker 2: do I put this? Smoking pot puts me in a
Speaker 2: puts me in my head, makes me think, makes me analyze.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm inside of myself. And shit, when I'm
Speaker 2: doing this, I can't be inside of myself. I can't
Speaker 2: be thinking about what I'm going to say. I just
Speaker 2: have to talk right, And I also, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: pay attention to you. I'm trying to talk to people.
Speaker 2: I got to navigate all this machinery and you know,
Speaker 2: try not to cut my hand off and shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's the whole. If I were high, there'd be
Speaker 2: a nightmare. And another thing is even if I'm a
Speaker 2: guy who says like, who is I don't want I
Speaker 2: don't want Here's another I don't want any of my
Speaker 2: personality traits whatsoever to be construed with like like I'm
Speaker 2: like I would it would upset me for weed or
Speaker 2: any other drug to take credit for any of my
Speaker 2: personality traits. Does that make sense? Like if I'm a
Speaker 2: fucking hill guy, or I'm a fucking weird guy, or
Speaker 2: I say stupid shit or whatever, that's all me, you know,
Speaker 2: that's not the wee. I'm doing that when I'm sober.
Speaker 2: I'm a guy who does, you know whatever all this bullshit,
Speaker 2: who also happens to, at some points in time smoke weed.
Speaker 2: But I'm not letting the weed take credit for any
Speaker 2: of that other shit. If that makes sense.
Speaker 7: You shouldn't. You shouldn't. It's all you, it's all that's real.
Speaker 7: It's all therapy. G go man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Have you ever been confused?
Speaker 7: Yeah? A lot of times.
Speaker 2: Tell me about one of those times.
Speaker 7: You know, Uh, I came out my best friend a
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago. That was that was interesting and
Speaker 7: he was cool with it. Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 2: Rock him roll.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I think I've been confused
Speaker 7: my whole life. Oh have you?
Speaker 2: And you know, look, we don't have to get into
Speaker 2: this if it's too personal, but have you have you? Uh,
Speaker 2: come out everywhere else?
Speaker 19: Not very many people. This is the first person that's
Speaker 19: you know, lived near me. That's that you practiced on
Speaker 19: people that don't aren't in your social circle. And then
Speaker 19: you go out and then you go to so so
Speaker 19: through your social circle, and then you you know, you
Speaker 19: do all that good good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that I'm glad that that that that worked
Speaker 2: out for you.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, all this quarantine, man, it's just you get inside
Speaker 19: your mind or it's either you're distracted all the time
Speaker 19: or you just you think.
Speaker 2: You just sit there, Okay, when you sit there and
Speaker 2: you think, what do you think?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 7: I think you know, I got schoolwork too. That's that's it.
Speaker 19: That's you know, that's one of those what do you
Speaker 19: call it, invasive thoughts?
Speaker 7: Intrusive thoughts?
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, it makes it shivers, you know, it makes
Speaker 19: you makes it really nervous that I mean that, that's
Speaker 19: the only thing that contributes to anxiety that I have.

Speaker 2: to school is all if in high school, and you
Speaker 2: can hear this, school is truly awful. If you're like,
Speaker 2: school is as awful as you think it is, like
Speaker 2: if you're thinking about like, oh, life will be better
Speaker 2: when you'll be right, it's just correct. School is appropriately
Speaker 2: rated as terrible.
Speaker 6: Yeah.

Speaker 2: Jen? How are you? I'm all right, I'm doing I'm
Speaker 2: actually I'm feeling pretty good tonight.
Speaker 20: That's good here, I'm feeling good too.
Speaker 2: Why are you? Why are you doing good? You know,
Speaker 2: I can tell you're not just bullshitting me. I hear
Speaker 2: it in your voice. Jen, You sound like you're doing good.
Speaker 19: I am.
Speaker 20: I've had a really productive day today.
Speaker 2: Interesting, we had another guy, the guy right before called
Speaker 2: in and said the exact opposite. Yeah, I know, tell
Speaker 2: me why your day was productive, Jen.
Speaker 20: Well, I mean I work today, but it was a
Speaker 20: pretty good day at work. I work in sales, so
Speaker 20: I mean when it's a good sales day, it's a
Speaker 20: good day. In general, you get.
Speaker 2: A hot, spicy commission.
Speaker 20: I did today, too bad, it wasn't payday.
Speaker 2: What do you what is it that you sell?
Speaker 20: I sell phones. I work for one of the big
Speaker 20: big own companies.
Speaker 2: You know that's a tough sell selling phones to people
Speaker 2: on the phone, because if you called me to try
Speaker 2: to sell a phone, you know, I would probably just
Speaker 2: tell you I already have a phone, because that's what well.
Speaker 20: I work in person and then using people come to
Speaker 20: me and they tell me their phone is broken. But
Speaker 20: sometimes I do have to convince people.
Speaker 17: To buy phones.
Speaker 20: But I feel like, no, it's an easy market to
Speaker 20: like sell phones. No, I'm not a telemarketer. I sell
Speaker 20: like like like at a Verizon store.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you work at a Horizon star selling sell
Speaker 2: on phones?
Speaker 20: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do you get.
Speaker 2: Screamed out a lot by people who come in and
Speaker 2: their phone is broken and they're so angry and they
Speaker 2: have no one to take it out on.
Speaker 20: But you, oh, all the time? I think I get
Speaker 20: a lot of angry people getting mad at me for
Speaker 20: not knowing why they don't have service because I don't know, man,
Speaker 20: I just sell the phone.
Speaker 2: Who is the most unreasonable person you have encountered during
Speaker 2: your time doing this.
Speaker 20: Oh man, there's so many people one time. So when
Speaker 20: people buy phones, they obviously have to pay the tax
Speaker 20: on the phone. And I got yelled at by somebody
Speaker 20: who's like, you know who. They're older, so they should
Speaker 20: know what they've been paying taxes all their life. And
Speaker 20: they got mad at me that I charged them tax
Speaker 20: on a phone that they didn't want to take the phone.
Speaker 8: And I was like, Okay, why is that?
Speaker 2: Why is them paying taxes on the phone. If you
Speaker 2: thought you have to pay sales tax on everything, I know, that's.
Speaker 20: Why I didn't understand. I told them that it was like,
Speaker 20: it's standard. You like you you live in a state
Speaker 20: that charges tell a tax man?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, that is very weird. Yeah, like if
Speaker 2: I buy like, if I buy a fucking sandwich and
Speaker 2: I have there's sales tax for that. You don't yet
Speaker 2: the sandwich person, Yeah.
Speaker 20: Like you know, I'm not charged you. No.
Speaker 2: But do you think that we should raise taxes or
Speaker 2: lower them?
Speaker 20: Well, I mean taxes where I live are taxas in California,
Speaker 20: first of all, are insane, So I don't think we
Speaker 20: should raise taxes. Taxes are already I feel up the butt.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been confused?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 20: I actually am right now?
Speaker 2: Why are you confused? Right now?
Speaker 20: I've been having issues with my best friend lately. And
Speaker 20: we've been best friends for like seven years now, and
Speaker 20: uh we probably did it ever start, like ever fight before,
Speaker 20: like maybe like we met at pig school, but but recently,
Speaker 20: like the past couple of years, probably like two or three,
Speaker 20: I feel like she hasn't been the greatest friend to me,
Speaker 20: and she constantly I feel she talks about my boyfriend
Speaker 20: and then she'll just try to say sorry every single time,
Speaker 20: and she makes she pushes me away. But I always
Speaker 20: like she kind of talks down sometimes on like my
Speaker 20: situation or makes it seem like it's not as important
Speaker 20: as what she's going through. And I don't know, it
Speaker 20: just sometimes it makes me feel really alone because it's
Speaker 20: like that's one of my longest friends and now I
Speaker 20: just feel like I don't have you as a friend anymore.
Speaker 2: M What do you think? She said this has been
Speaker 2: happening in like the last two to three years. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry what you said. This has been happening. You said
Speaker 2: this has been happening over the course of like the
Speaker 2: last two to three years specifically, it's pretty not recent,
Speaker 2: but you know, you had a solid Yeah, we had a.
Speaker 20: Friendship for a long time that you know, she was
Speaker 20: my writer or die, you know. And then I think recently,
Speaker 20: I don't know, maybe, I mean we're older now, we
Speaker 20: have like like actual adult fucking problems, you know, so
Speaker 20: I think that takes into account, like by always so
Speaker 20: stressed and maybe she kind of takes it out on
Speaker 20: me maybe, or I don't know, or how.
Speaker 2: Old were you when you first became friends with this person?
Speaker 20: We were like thirteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and this is nothing new and I'm
Speaker 2: not a real therapist, and I've this is not a
Speaker 2: sentiment of originality and whatsoever way, shape or form. But look,
Speaker 2: you know you've heard that of like, you know, obviously,
Speaker 2: how old are you now, uh, twenty one, twenty one?
Speaker 2: You're obviously not the same person at twenty one that
Speaker 2: you were when you were you know, fucking thirteen. And look,
Speaker 2: you know, I have great friends, you know, that I've
Speaker 2: had since I was ten, and it's just worked out
Speaker 2: that way because we've sort of developed our personalities alongside
Speaker 2: each other. But there's nothing wrong with you know, we're
Speaker 2: kind of just not jiving anymore, you know, because you're
Speaker 2: a different person than you were when you first met.
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with you, Yeah, you know, are you afraid
Speaker 2: because this is like one of your only friends?
Speaker 20: Well, she's not my only friend, but she is like
Speaker 20: probably like one of my longest friends. But she's also
Speaker 20: been my best friend, like through We've been through a
Speaker 20: lot of shit together. So it kind of just sucks
Speaker 20: to like that. I'm like been recently thinking about just
Speaker 20: like ending in the friendship.
Speaker 2: Look, you'd be justified to do that. It sounds like,
Speaker 2: you know, you're removing people from your life that don't
Speaker 2: have any value, uh to add to it. That's and
Speaker 2: by the way, do that with pride. Actually you feel good.
Speaker 2: I don't you feel bad about it. You should feel
Speaker 2: good about it. You should make you feel fucking like.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just a you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know shit about balls, but you know, just
Speaker 2: like I like the idea of you looking at this
Speaker 2: more of a how do I put this? Like a
Speaker 2: you're regaining power, You're defining your own path. You're you're
Speaker 2: you're like a god. If you're plucking people out of
Speaker 2: your life that don't fit in there. You know, it's
Speaker 2: it's to take take it like that if you can,
Speaker 2: you know, you.
Speaker 20: Try to feel empowered about it.
Speaker 2: You don't have to. You don't have to hurt her.
Speaker 2: You're not hurting her. You're not gonna go You're not
Speaker 2: gonna go to her and be like, hey, you know, uh,
Speaker 2: fuck you, and I don't want to be friends with
Speaker 2: you anymore. And you should, you know, go in live
Speaker 2: in a ditch or whatever. But uh yeah, you're just
Speaker 2: you're just ending the ending the relationship. It's pretty justified.
Speaker 14: It sounds like, yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 20: I just I think it's like one of those things,
Speaker 20: are you it's been around for so long you're kind
Speaker 20: of scared to get rid of it, you know, and
Speaker 20: it's I know it's a person, not like an object,
Speaker 20: but kind of feels the same way.
Speaker 2: Well what'd you say?
Speaker 10: Name was Jen?
Speaker 21: Well?
Speaker 2: Jen, you know, look, don't be afraid to get rid
Speaker 2: of people who don't align with your life or add
Speaker 2: value in any way, shape or form. And you know,
Speaker 2: I wish you the best of luck and navigating the situation.
Speaker 21: Thank you.
Speaker 8: I appreciate you for sure.
Speaker 2: Thank you for coming, and Jen, I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 21: Bye.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I keep saying I'll talk to
Speaker 2: you soon. That's like become my new thing that I
Speaker 2: say when I'm hanging up the phone.
Speaker 8: All from Mitch, Mitch, gek, what are.
Speaker 2: You doing right now?
Speaker 10: I'm sitting on my couch. I got you on TV.
Speaker 10: It's pretty much it.
Speaker 3: What were you.
Speaker 2: Doing before you were doing what you are doing right now?
Speaker 10: Uh? I was making a drink, took the dog for
Speaker 10: a walk, and had a stressful day. So you tend
Speaker 10: to help me unwind.
Speaker 2: Have we spoken before?
Speaker 10: We have not. I discovered you on TikTok maybe like
Speaker 10: a month or two ago, and followed you and been
Speaker 10: watching you three times a week since.
Speaker 2: Rad Thank you, dude. Why did you have a stressful day?
Speaker 10: I have a stalker?
Speaker 2: You have a stalker.
Speaker 6: I do, so.
Speaker 10: I happened to run into them while I was out
Speaker 10: today and so it kind of shut off the anxiety
Speaker 10: that I have.
Speaker 2: Are you comfortable telling me about your stalker?
Speaker 10: I mean, I'll talk about it, but you know, I'll
Speaker 10: let you know if I'm not.
Speaker 2: Comfortable tell me about your stalker.
Speaker 10: There's someone who I went on a couple of dates with,
Speaker 10: and you know, I just wasn't feeling it after a
Speaker 10: couple after a couple of times seeing each other, and
Speaker 10: then let them know that I wasn't really interested and
Speaker 10: couldn't take the hint, I guess, And so didn't hear
Speaker 10: from them for about a month. And then all of
Speaker 10: a sudden, like I know, as they were showing up
Speaker 10: at my work, and then they were showing up.
Speaker 17: Near the places where I shop.
Speaker 10: And stuff like that, and so I don't know if
Speaker 10: it's coincidences or.
Speaker 3: You know, but.
Speaker 10: It's you know, it gives you a bit of paranoia.
Speaker 10: There's that always underlying paranoia of it.
Speaker 2: What do is if they want from you the problem?
Speaker 10: And I'm honestly afraid to talk to them because I
Speaker 10: have them blocked on everything, and if I see them
Speaker 10: in person or like if I'm out now, keep in
Speaker 10: mind like recently, you know, within the last year, because
Speaker 10: everyone's wearing masks and stuff, I don't even know if
Speaker 10: they're around. And I moved not that long ago, in September,
Speaker 10: and I've yet to tell anybody that I've moved because
Speaker 10: I'm so afraid of it to get back to them.
Speaker 2: Those are reasonable fears. Yeah, have you taken any sort
Speaker 2: of judicial action against them.
Speaker 10: I mean I've filed, like I've made it known to
Speaker 10: the authorities, but really like nothing nothing like violent or
Speaker 10: anything like that has really happened or any like threats.
Speaker 10: It's more just they show up out of nowhere and
Speaker 10: it freaks me out. And you know, what can I do.
Speaker 10: I can't really call the I and I feel guilty
Speaker 10: if I were to call the police and say, hey,
Speaker 10: like this person showed.
Speaker 2: Up at my work or I mean, I don't think
Speaker 2: it's all I think you should feel. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's you know, you should feel guilty. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 2: here's the thing, right if they here's the way I
Speaker 2: see it. If this person is bothering you to the
Speaker 2: point where you think where to the point where you
Speaker 2: feel the need to get the authorities involved, that right
Speaker 2: there validates that it is worth getting the authorities involved. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So it's not saying they feel guilty about.
Speaker 10: See like I'm and I think that's part of my issue.
Speaker 10: Like it's been going on for well over a year,
Speaker 10: like before the pandemic and everything like that, and I
Speaker 10: and i'd like to you know, I don't try to
Speaker 10: sound conceited or cocky or anything like that and saying that,
Speaker 10: I feel like I'm a really nice guy, and so
Speaker 10: with that, I feel like I'm taking advantage of in
Speaker 10: regards to that, and I feel like they know that
Speaker 10: it would take a lot of them to get me
Speaker 10: to actually do something. I mean, I've I've spoken about
Speaker 10: it to other people as well. Right, you know, it's
Speaker 10: not something that I keep to myself, and it's not
Speaker 10: anything that I was really planning on talking about tonight.
Speaker 10: I was just gonna call in and tell you what
Speaker 10: I was looking at, right, But it's, uh, it takes
Speaker 10: a lot for me to take action about something, I guess,
Speaker 10: and you know, I had, like I said, I have
Speaker 10: people I've spoken to about it, but it is there
Speaker 10: is the underlying It's caused me a lot of anxiety
Speaker 10: over the lines. And then you know today what's that?
Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh sorry, go ahead, I actually kind of want
Speaker 2: to hear about what happened today.
Speaker 10: I was just I literally went but I went into
Speaker 10: my bedroom yesterday and I smelled the burning smell and
Speaker 10: I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, and
Speaker 10: it was coming from the fan in my bedroom, and
Speaker 10: so I decided to unplug it and I went out
Speaker 10: today to buy a new fan, and I was walking
Speaker 10: around Walmart and I saw them and I knew it
Speaker 10: was them right away from the jacket. They were running
Speaker 10: and I just kind of like scooed it down another
Speaker 10: aisle and I don't know if they saw me, but
Speaker 10: I saw them. And you know, when things like that happened,
Speaker 10: because I live in a pretty small town. M when
Speaker 10: things like that happen where you cross paths, I don't
Speaker 10: know if it's a coincidence or right.
Speaker 2: Right, right right, Yeah, that's that's definitely stressful. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: did you say? Your name was, Mitch? Well, Mitch, listen,
Speaker 2: don't feel guilty about, you know, taking action that you
Speaker 2: personally feel justified to take. You know, you're the only
Speaker 2: person that can be the judge of whether or not
Speaker 2: you are justified to take any sort of action, So
Speaker 2: don't feel guilty. All right, what are you looking at?
Speaker 10: I'm still sitting on my My cats are running all
Speaker 10: over the place, and I've got you on the TV,
Speaker 10: but i've got you muted, and it's very much alike
Speaker 10: in between. So you're not matching up with your words,
Speaker 10: And then I have I.
Speaker 2: Never do on the hypocrite. Yeah, I appreciate you calling
Speaker 2: in and sharing. I'll talk to you.
Speaker 10: Soon, all right, have a good night.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 10: Nice to meet you.
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you too.
Speaker 8: But all from pee pee poop.
Speaker 2: People poopoo?
Speaker 3: Is that you?
Speaker 2: It is me, peepe poopoo. How are you?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 7: Pretty good?
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 16: Man?
Speaker 2: You know I'm doing all right, peepe poopoo.
Speaker 6: That's good, it's good.
Speaker 2: I'm so curious about you peep people. You seem like
Speaker 2: you have a lot of like you got a lot
Speaker 2: of mystery to you, and I and I want to
Speaker 2: sort of see what makes you tick?
Speaker 16: You know?
Speaker 2: I mean you are you aware of the fact that
Speaker 2: you have a lot of mystery surrounding you? And that's
Speaker 2: sort of the vibe that you're giving off.
Speaker 17: It's a combination of peeping poo poo.
Speaker 2: Mmm. How long do you have to experiment and tinker
Speaker 2: around to find this perfect combination that has made you
Speaker 2: who you are today?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 17: I do it into a condom and then then I
Speaker 17: put it back up.
Speaker 2: Mm. You pp and you poop poo into a condom
Speaker 2: and then you put it up into your anus?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 10: What?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: All right? So I know that now you know? Okay,
Speaker 2: of course that is the sort of code by which
Speaker 2: you become who you are. You pee and poop into
Speaker 2: a condom and you put it up into your anus.
Speaker 2: But you didn't always know the benefits of that. You
Speaker 2: had to experiment to discover these benefits. What was that
Speaker 2: first time conducting this experiment?
Speaker 17: Like I was watching Ghostbusters and uh, the Slimmer Slimmer
Speaker 17: came on the screen, and I just I have to
Speaker 17: go to the bathroom. But I didn't want to go.
Speaker 17: I didn't want to go to the bathroom because it's.
Speaker 21: Like, you know, I got to get up and walk,
Speaker 21: of course, and I had had a dome psynomic counter,
Speaker 21: and I was like, you know what, I'm just going
Speaker 21: to go and I went in it. And then I
Speaker 21: was like, I can't throw in the garbage can because
Speaker 21: it's gonna stink. So I just I watched slim Or
Speaker 21: eat a pizza and then I just.
Speaker 3: Put it up.
Speaker 2: And did it change your life?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 17: Yeah, well I'm still alive today.
Speaker 2: What are you looking at?
Speaker 17: I'm looking at the screens, looking at the gag.
Speaker 2: Can you do me a favor?
Speaker 3: That's up?
Speaker 2: Are you sitting or standing?
Speaker 3: Laye?
Speaker 2: Can you stand up?

Speaker 17: It's like, uh, some weavy lines, like a black line,
Speaker 17: a blue line. It's like a seventies kind of I
Speaker 17: don't know what the fuck it is.
Speaker 2: Does your wife know that you pee and poop into
Speaker 2: a condom and put it back up into your anus?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 17: Yeah, well yeah, that's part of the deal.
Speaker 2: How does she feel about it? I mean it's erotic,
Speaker 2: she's into it.
Speaker 17: It's an expression.
Speaker 2: Does she ever watch you do it?
Speaker 17: Yeah? She participates in the ppe poop poop?
Speaker 2: Does she peeps and peas and poops into a condom
Speaker 2: and then you put up your anis right? Does it
Speaker 2: ever go up her anus.
Speaker 17: From time to time?
Speaker 2: What do you call this act?

Speaker 3: Sitter bro.
Speaker 2: Good night.
Speaker 14: All from God, Scott, Scott, Hello, Hello Scott no way
Speaker 14: is this the gig.
Speaker 2: This is the gek Oh Scott.
Speaker 22: I give you a text last night and I said
Speaker 22: that I have reason to believe that I'm the toxic
Speaker 22: person in all of my relationships.
Speaker 2: You sent me a text. You texted the gek line.
Speaker 2: I get, yeah, saying that you believe that you are
Speaker 2: the toxic personal of your relationships.
Speaker 9: This is correct.
Speaker 2: And what makes you believe that?
Speaker 7: Well, whenever I start.
Speaker 22: Talking with somebody, I blocked them from my Snapchat story
Speaker 22: so that I can post thing, or so i can
Speaker 22: post thing without them knowing that I'm ignoring them.
Speaker 2: Whenever you okay, whenever you start talking to someone on Snapchat,
Speaker 2: you block them from seeing your Snapchat stories that they
Speaker 2: don't know that you are posting on your story without
Speaker 2: respond to them first. Correct. Here's what you should do.
Speaker 2: I believe you need to first of all, anyone I
Speaker 2: think there's this this, how do I put this? I
Speaker 2: actually I'm kind of thinking about this lately because, like
Speaker 2: you know, I have a bunch of people not I'm not.
Speaker 2: There's no one who I've not. I don't get messages
Speaker 2: where I'm like fuck this guy or anything, but like
Speaker 2: I have messages where I'm like, fuck, I want to
Speaker 2: like respond to this, but I can't right now because
Speaker 2: I only have time to give a brief one and
Speaker 2: it deserves a longer one. So I leave a lot
Speaker 2: of shit on unread and then but I still am
Speaker 2: like posting things. And my mentality of it is like,
Speaker 2: I'm a grown ass man. This person I'm talking to,
Speaker 2: it's a grown ass person. You know, there's no there's
Speaker 2: no I have, Neither of us should have any room
Speaker 2: in our lives for the fucking guy. If you're fucking
Speaker 2: ignoring is you know, just just do live your life,
Speaker 2: do what you're gonna do. Don't don't get so wrapped
Speaker 2: up in the drama of thing I think to block
Speaker 2: this person. It's a little insecurity is not the word,
Speaker 2: But like, dude, you gotta be comfortable with like someone.
Speaker 2: If someone gets upset with you because you posted on
Speaker 2: your story without answering them first, that's kind of their problem,
Speaker 2: and you gotta look at it that way, you know
Speaker 2: to to so to be so heavily on the defensive
Speaker 2: that you're gonna block them is feeding too much into
Speaker 2: drama of the situation that is not even there. Does
Speaker 2: that make sense? Does that resonate with you in any way,
Speaker 2: shape or form.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 2: I would stop doing that. I would stop blocking people,
Speaker 2: and I would just get comfortable with the idea that
Speaker 2: someone might be upset with you for not responding to them,
Speaker 2: and just be like, well, if that's the case, then
Speaker 2: that's your problem because I've delve in my life. I'll
Speaker 2: get back to you. When I get back to you,
Speaker 2: you don't have to be so defensive about it, if
Speaker 2: that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 22: Another toxic trait that one of my friends pointed out
Speaker 22: of mine is that when I start talking to somebody,
Speaker 22: I like am one with them. So for like the
Speaker 22: first week or whatever that we're talking, I'm just nothing
Speaker 22: but them is on my mind or whatever. And then
Speaker 22: after that I get bored of them, and then I'll
Speaker 22: just ignore them, and then I'll kind of like ease
Speaker 22: back in and out of the relationship.
Speaker 2: Are these are like romantic relationships you're referring to. Correct, Okay,
Speaker 2: So you'll be obsessed with someone and you'll get bored
Speaker 2: with them, Yeah, but then you'll ghost.
Speaker 22: Them, well, not not completely ghost like I make them.
Speaker 7: Mhmm. I still talk to them just like.
Speaker 14: M I say that I have.
Speaker 22: Schoolwork and stuff, and then I just go do other
Speaker 22: things instead of talking to them.
Speaker 2: This is a tough one. I've thought about this before
Speaker 2: because I'm I've I'm I haven't made like uh in
Speaker 2: I have, I don't, I don't have like a uh
Speaker 2: what is this like set in stone idea of what
Speaker 2: two people at the beginning of relationship owe each other,
Speaker 2: because on one because what what someone could say? You
Speaker 2: don't know, you don't know anyone anything. If you want
Speaker 2: to stop talking to them, just fucking stop talking to them.
Speaker 2: You don't you don't know them anything. You know, But
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's necessarily what I believe. I
Speaker 2: think you should do whichever option makes you feel the
Speaker 2: most to peace with it, right, and so if it
Speaker 2: would make you feel best too, if you're like ah,
Speaker 2: if you feel bad about it, if you feel bad
Speaker 2: about ghosting these people, then you know, just be honest,
Speaker 2: just be like, hey, I'm sorry, I don't think this
Speaker 2: is working. And and and you don't, by the way,
Speaker 2: you don't. If you are the start talking to someone,
Speaker 2: then you just get bored of them. That's fine. You
Speaker 2: don't owe and you don't owe anyone anything romantically. Ever,
Speaker 2: I believe that if you start talking as when you
Speaker 2: get bored of them and it makes you feel better
Speaker 2: to sort of give them some closure and in turn
Speaker 2: give yourself some closure, then you know, I think you should.
Speaker 2: But if not, again, I'm not setting stone in this.
Speaker 2: I could be convinced either way, but I I you know,
Speaker 2: I don't think that you necessarily owe them anything, especially
Speaker 2: if you know it's a new relationship. It's not like
Speaker 2: you know even day for years, or or even months
Speaker 2: or anything.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 22: The problem though, is that when I find somebody that
Speaker 22: I like, really like and that I want to spend
Speaker 22: time with all the time, I just.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 22: I don't know whether I can't convince myself like.
Speaker 7: That I want to keep spending time with them.
Speaker 22: I I guess maybe it's my attachment issues.
Speaker 19: Maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Knows mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a conversation for you to have with a
Speaker 2: real therapist.
Speaker 9: This is true.
Speaker 2: What your name was, Scott? Thank you for coming in, Scott,
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 22: Thank you of a going Jain.
Speaker 23: All from Theeter Teddy take Sat Kenny, forget BG.
Speaker 2: You're calling, I'm all right?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 9: What is?
Speaker 2: What is bubba.
Speaker 6: Bubba is what I call it. Well, I'm also from
Speaker 6: I heard just going there. Bubba is like a bubb
Speaker 6: or a budd or a bubba, term of endearment for
Speaker 6: a man to another man.
Speaker 2: Can Can it be used by men to women? Can
Speaker 2: it be used? Is it exclusively in use by and
Speaker 2: towards men?
Speaker 6: Well? I guess it depends on your where you're going
Speaker 6: with it. You know what I mean. I call a
Speaker 6: woman bubb or bubba, but that don't mean I'm gonna kisser.
Speaker 6: If you're kissing them, you can't say bubba.
Speaker 2: So if you're romantically involved with a woman, it's not
Speaker 2: appropriate to call her bubba.
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't, I don't know. I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 10: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it anything? Is it like dude at all? Like
Speaker 2: I call I call women dude? I know, even if
Speaker 2: I'm romantically involved with I would call you know, her dude.
Speaker 2: I don't think in the gates the romantics.
Speaker 6: No, you can be in the bed with a woman
Speaker 6: doing stuff and call her dude. It's okay. But if
Speaker 6: you call her bubba, that's not good.
Speaker 2: Did you say you're also in Texas?
Speaker 6: I'm out here in uh East Texas and holy man,
Speaker 6: they can't even get a dude, I had to drive
Speaker 6: in the town to get pizza today.
Speaker 2: Tell me how much how much battery is left on
Speaker 2: your phone right now that you're using.
Speaker 6: I got a generator. I got generators. We got firewood. Man,
Speaker 6: I didn't I have pitchy down with the gas. I
Speaker 6: ain't going nowhere.
Speaker 2: You got, you got, we gotta get. You hooked up
Speaker 2: with Jessica. But she's fucking dying over there. Well, I
Speaker 2: wait for it that she doesn't like.
Speaker 6: Well, I'll do her right, man. I got a truck.
Speaker 6: I'll take her to town. I'll take her to get
Speaker 6: barbecue whatever she needs.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: Anyway, man, I didn't call about the blizzard. Man, that's
Speaker 6: a whole bunch of height. I was calling about. Well, okay,
Speaker 6: here's the deal. And I don't know if this is
Speaker 6: my business, but it's my friend's business. And I like
Speaker 6: to get into my friend's business. So I have a friend,
Speaker 6: I've known him forever and he was living in another
Speaker 6: buddy's house but he was renting him up the house. Well,
Speaker 6: that friend trashed it, basically, nothing short of smear and
Speaker 6: poop on the wall. And he owes my other buddy money.
Speaker 6: Now I'm trying to figure out do I get in
Speaker 6: on this? Do I say something? I do I say
Speaker 6: something about this because it's gonna make people mad, But
Speaker 6: I feel that it's my place when someone owes money.
Speaker 6: I don't like to I don't know anyone money.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Tell me all the parties involved so that I get
Speaker 2: this sor right. So you have your friend, let's say
Speaker 2: my friend. His name is if you if you could,
Speaker 2: could you explain the parties involved?
Speaker 6: Okay, There's a man named Justin. He likes to dress
Speaker 6: in a lot of leather. He wears a lot of leather,
Speaker 6: It's strange. Then we have another man, his name let's
Speaker 6: call him Brian. Now Brian. He was living in Justin's house, okay,
Speaker 6: and then Brian owed Justin some money. And I have
Speaker 6: nothing to do with any of it. But I know
Speaker 6: both of them, and I just can't help but not
Speaker 6: say something to him because I feel that Justin doesn't
Speaker 6: want to ask for the money because it might be
Speaker 6: bad for the friendship. But then I feel the other
Speaker 6: dude is taking advantage of the other guy's softness. If
Speaker 6: you will, maybe I do need to step put a
Speaker 6: boot in the door.
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned something as well about one party
Speaker 2: smearing poop on the other party's house. When did this occur?
Speaker 6: Well, that's just way I see it. No one told
Speaker 6: me that's what happened. But in my head, I just
Speaker 6: know someone ate a lot of space of dust and
Speaker 6: started smearing poop on the walls.
Speaker 2: Man, I just didn't hear that literally happened.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. I mean, what is literal these days?
Speaker 6: What is real?
Speaker 11: So you.
Speaker 2: Know what, so you imagined your friends smearing poop on
Speaker 2: your other friend's house, It didn't happen. You think it's
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Where where is this event on the spectrum
Speaker 2: of reality?
Speaker 6: Well, on my spectrum of reality did happened? I mean,
Speaker 6: in my head, I can see him taking the rag
Speaker 6: he used because probably the water was out because he
Speaker 6: hadn't been made the water bill. He had no he
Speaker 6: didn't have a shower to go. He he definitely didn't
Speaker 6: have no poil of paper, he didn't have no money.
Speaker 6: So he takes the rag or something and then he's like,
Speaker 6: fucking fuck, this guy's make me pay. He's not giving
Speaker 6: me a loan. And he just did a big smeared
Speaker 6: prior with a big f and that you on the
Speaker 6: wall or something. No, te Well, i'd say it didn't happen.
Speaker 6: I'd say it happened, but in their reality. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Ted, Can I ask you something again? I want you
Speaker 2: to be honest with me. Yes, sir, I feel like
Speaker 2: there's a possibility that it was you who smeared the
Speaker 2: poop on Justin's wall, and you already sort of went
Speaker 2: forward on the advice about whether or not you should
Speaker 2: get involved, and you're coming to me for confirmation that
Speaker 2: you indeed should have smeared poop on this man's wall.
Speaker 6: It's a big problem I have. It's called the Fregoli delusion,
Speaker 6: where you think everyone's the same person in a different costume,
Speaker 6: Like you are actually the same guy as the guy
Speaker 6: who did the poop, and and it might have been me,
Speaker 6: or it might be you or the same dude in
Speaker 6: a different chair. Right, So yeah, I guess. I mean,
Speaker 6: if someone did do you wrong, do you do that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 23: Ted?
Speaker 2: If you owe yourself money, I think you should pay
Speaker 2: yourself back.
Speaker 6: Okay, so I say something, Yeah, Okay, I'm following, man,
Speaker 6: I'm follow are you done with me?
Speaker 17: Man?
Speaker 6: And I feel like they are loads in conversation, but
Speaker 6: I'm looking at my computer. I'm staring into your face.
Speaker 6: I see this smile that someone's popping out, and I'll
Speaker 6: see those eyes looking at me, and it's just like
Speaker 6: we're there together, same dude, same pace, same dream. I
Speaker 6: don't know how to end it. I don't know what
Speaker 6: we do. But we can move on or we can
Speaker 6: be done. I have more to do, I think that, man.
Speaker 6: I have some other stuff that I've really been wondering about.
Speaker 6: You know, I moved out to the country from the
Speaker 6: city about nine months ago, and I've been living out there,
Speaker 6: just trying to sort through some things, think my way
Speaker 6: through stuff. And you know, you hit on this reality
Speaker 6: topic and this is I know you're not a real therapist,
Speaker 6: but this reality thing, man, it's a weird one.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: What do you think is the weirdest thing about it?
Speaker 6: Well, let me put it like this, man. Well, I say,
Speaker 6: the Mandela effect is probably my weirdest thing about reality
Speaker 6: is Mandela effects kind of been messing with me. The
Speaker 6: Black Tom attack was a weird one. If you know
Speaker 6: about that nineteen fourteen German terrorist attack, in the Bay,
Speaker 6: New York destroying Statue of Liberty. That Stu's pretty weird.
Speaker 2: But I what is the Mandela effect?
Speaker 6: The Mandela effect is basically, fifty percent of the population
Speaker 6: remembers Nelson Mandel dying in prison, and the other fifty
Speaker 6: percent remembers Nelson Mandela dining in twenty twelve. Basically, dude,
Speaker 6: whenever they turned on that sirn reactor and plugged into
Speaker 6: God particle, that it put us in time loop. So
Speaker 6: if you'd mind, I can go, and I go a
Speaker 6: little like one step up on this ladder of reality weirdness. Sure, Okay,
Speaker 6: So it all starts back in the fuck and it
Speaker 6: all starts back with Donald Trump's uncle, John G. Trump,
Speaker 6: John G. Trump, and everyone. You can look me up
Speaker 6: on this. This is real. John G. Trump was the
Speaker 6: lead engineer at MIT. Whenever Nichola Tesla died, Nicholas Tesla
Speaker 6: claimed to have a time machine. So Nichola Tesla's time
Speaker 6: machine was gotten by Donald Trump's uncle. All of a sudden,
Speaker 6: Donald Trump's running the world. Go back to the year
Speaker 6: eighteen ninety eight. There's a book written called Baron von
Speaker 6: Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey where a boy is led through
Speaker 6: time portals by a man named Don, and he led
Speaker 6: back to Russia to fight indigenous people in the underground reptiles.
Speaker 6: The same author his name was Dame. And I ain't
Speaker 6: gon remember this guy's name. I can look it up, though.
Speaker 6: He wrote a book in nineteen hundred called The Last
Speaker 6: President about a man who was elected president. He was
Speaker 6: a very rich, wealthy land boy, and he had a
Speaker 6: house on Fifth Avenue. Blah blah blah. A whole bunch
Speaker 6: of stuff gets weird. So basically, flash forward of the
Speaker 6: year nineteen ninety nine when Conan O'Brien is writing an
Speaker 6: episode of The Simpsons where Homer's pardeeing the Matt Damon
Speaker 6: and Goodwill hunting, and he's up there like a janitor,
Speaker 6: solving equation in the hallway. Go look this up. The
Speaker 6: equation on that board in ninety nine is actually the
Speaker 6: god particle, which wasn't discovered until twenty ten. Twenty twelve
Speaker 6: is when they plucked that god particle into the Hadron
Speaker 6: collider over there in Switzerland in the sun. And that
Speaker 6: experiment ended on December twenty first, twenty twelve. Clearly, what
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, Donald Trump is a time traveler. Whenever
Speaker 6: surn reactor got flipped on, it started messing with reality. Like,
Speaker 6: let me ask you this man, did Curious George have
Speaker 6: a tail?
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is a time traveler? Do you believe travel
Speaker 2: through time for good or for evil?
Speaker 6: Well? I don't know, man. If I had it figured out,
Speaker 6: I don't know if we'd even be having this conversation
Speaker 6: about Pope and space dust and sern reactors and particle
Speaker 6: gliders and ship man. But yeah, I mean, dude, I
Speaker 6: think if anyone's gonna travel through time, it's gonna be
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. I mean, he did come out all orange.
Speaker 6: They say you gotta smear yourself and that day I
Speaker 6: dine whenever you go through.
Speaker 3: The time of shame, right right?
Speaker 2: So he so you think that he's orange because of
Speaker 2: you know, a sort of level of eye dying that
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have spread on himself if he had not
Speaker 2: been tasked with traveling through time to ensure that Curious
Speaker 2: George did not have a tail.
Speaker 6: Well, of course. Yeah, that's just one example, man, that
Speaker 6: wasn't like my main one that I had, Like where
Speaker 6: do you remember you know where Peru is in South
Speaker 6: America on the western coast of South America longitudinally. What
Speaker 6: state does that line up with? Like Peru on the
Speaker 6: west coast of South America. What United States is that under?
Speaker 7: How do you don't know?
Speaker 6: It's actually under Florida. See I remember it being under Arizona,
Speaker 6: New Mexico when I was growing up, but it changed
Speaker 6: because basically that is reality thereof is very malleable. It's
Speaker 6: not what you think.
Speaker 2: Hm hmm.
Speaker 6: There are other examples, like you know what what what is?
Speaker 14: What is?
Speaker 2: What is your main example?
Speaker 6: Well, the main example I think is Nelson Mandela because
Speaker 6: I remember Clinton, Bill Clinton, Big Daddy Bill giving a
Speaker 6: speech about Nelson Mandela's death in prison in the late nineties,
Speaker 6: but apparently he didn't die until twenty twelve. The secondary
Speaker 6: example is called the Black Tom Attack. No one remembers this.
Speaker 6: This is in nineteen fourteen, German terrorists come to New
Speaker 6: York City Harbor. They blow up a big bomb. It's
Speaker 6: actually the largest non nuclear explosion in history, and it
Speaker 6: damage of the Statue of Liberty. They never taught us
Speaker 6: this in history class.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question, it's hirt you right
Speaker 2: now on the phone talking to me. Where do you
Speaker 2: believe you are.
Speaker 6: I think I've probably died. Back in two thousand and nineteen,
Speaker 6: I drank a whole bunch of space juice, will call it,
Speaker 6: and ended up getting in my car, got diabetes. I
Speaker 6: was going to the store to get some juices and stuff,
Speaker 6: and I drank this stuff. Space juice is basically a
Speaker 6: chemical that makes you not think and behave the way
Speaker 6: you might normally do it. But uh, anyway, I come
Speaker 6: to and I'm in Oklahoma. Dude, I think died of.
Speaker 2: A simultaneous succumbing to diabetes and drunken automobile accident.
Speaker 6: I know it's another sort of juice whe you just
Speaker 6: drink a little bit and it Yeah, but yeah, I
Speaker 6: think probably we all died and we're all getting cued
Speaker 6: of well, I think we're all dead in this in
Speaker 6: this realm and this level of reality, we're probably all dead.
Speaker 6: We've all passed, and we're waiting to get rebooted back
Speaker 6: in the sin.
Speaker 2: Before we go. Tell me, what would you like to
Speaker 2: be rebooted as that ideal life after being rebooted?
Speaker 6: Probably if you were rebooted as a female, get go,
Speaker 6: and I was booted as your baby boy, and you
Speaker 6: took care of me and milk me and give me right?
Speaker 2: What do you want from me as your mother? What
Speaker 2: are all those sort of expectations of me? Because that
Speaker 2: way you know, obviously I'm not going to remember this
Speaker 2: conversation after we've been reviewed, because it will wipe a
Speaker 2: lout of our memory. But I do feel like certain
Speaker 2: elements of me will be able to remember, you know,
Speaker 2: I will be able to take certain parts of me
Speaker 2: with me. And I just want to know what I
Speaker 2: can do to be the best mother.
Speaker 6: Do you well, You're going to have to be nurtured.
Speaker 6: And I know everyone says that, but they don't know
Speaker 6: what it means, because I mean, none of us are
Speaker 6: really mothers, are we? But I think I want a
Speaker 6: mom that gives me warmth, gives me love, gives me milk.
Speaker 6: I think milk's a big part of it.
Speaker 2: Well prepared.
Speaker 6: None of this is that short.
Speaker 2: No, I know, Thank you, Ted, I appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Love you, Baba, love you too.
Speaker 3: Take care for that. Never be Get.
Speaker 1: Goes on the line taking your phone calls every night.
Speaker 1: Never be Get goes to on his d He's teaching
