Speaker 1: Hello. All right, Hi, what is your name?
Speaker 2: My name is Josh.
Speaker 1: Josh. What's going on?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: Basically, I'm thirty five. I've always kind of been the
Speaker 2: social guy, like, go out already, have a lot of fun,
Speaker 2: meet new people, probably drink too much, Okay. I have
Speaker 2: a fiance and two children with her. Basically over the
Speaker 2: weekend I got entirely too drunk and she was not
Speaker 2: very happy, and I ended up sleeping at a relative
Speaker 2: house that night because she didn't want me in the house.
Speaker 2: And when I get really drunk, I get mean, and
Speaker 2: basically she said that she would leave me to happen
Speaker 2: again and I and I don't want that. But I
Speaker 2: don't know how to stop being who I associate myself with.
Speaker 3: As in, like.
Speaker 2: I'm up, I don't like. I don't want to stop
Speaker 2: being a partier. Basically I can, Okay.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts. What you said. You
Speaker 1: get mean when you get drunk.
Speaker 2: Like when I reach like a certain level, Like it's
Speaker 2: not every time I drink, it's what I'm like just
Speaker 2: beyond recognition. Drunk, I say mean and hurtful things, I guess,
Speaker 2: but I don't remember some of it.
Speaker 1: Were you saying mean? And herful things to your to
Speaker 1: your wife.
Speaker 2: So I I there have been times where yes I have,
Speaker 2: and I regret that obviously. It's it's mostly just like
Speaker 2: I make I make a lot more money than she does,
Speaker 2: and I tend to hold that over her head sometimes
Speaker 2: because that's first. I mean, it's frustrating at the points,
Speaker 2: but I think i'd like some of that stems from that.
Speaker 1: What why do you feel like, why do you hold
Speaker 1: this over her head?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like she wanted me to
Speaker 2: leave the house and I in the path, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: it's my house, I pay for it, and I would
Speaker 2: just be shitty like that.
Speaker 1: My dog. Okay, So you say that you're a big
Speaker 1: part of your person. You like to drink a lot.
Speaker 1: You just are you drinking by yourself? What do you
Speaker 1: What are you doing when you're going out drinking?
Speaker 2: I was at a party. If I was at a
Speaker 2: party of friends and just just didn't, I don't know
Speaker 2: my limit, basically.
Speaker 1: What I gotta When you're thirty five, I assume most
Speaker 1: of your friends are also in marriages and whatnot. Are
Speaker 1: you what kind of parties are you guys going to?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes they are so I've made some new friends
Speaker 2: who are a little bit younger, who maybe aren't married,
Speaker 2: don't have kids, probably not the best people necessarily to
Speaker 2: hang out like be hanging out with that.
Speaker 1: I'm Josh, Josh, do you do you care? Do you?
Speaker 1: And by the way, you can be honest about this,
Speaker 1: do you care about your fiance and your.
Speaker 2: Kids absolutely more than anything?
Speaker 1: Do you? Do you? You said that so fast, with
Speaker 1: so much conviction. Do you really mean it?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 2: Honestly do? I just don't know how to so?
Speaker 1: Then? So then, bro, bro, you have a wife and
Speaker 1: kids in a house. What more are you looking for? Man?
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know, you know, that's probably part
Speaker 2: of the question. My my real dad wasn't around, my
Speaker 2: stepdad was there. My goal of mife was always be
Speaker 2: a better dad than my real dad. And I've got
Speaker 2: that goal, and now I don't know what else I want.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't, Josh, I don't, I don't, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to whatever. But it doesn't sound like you
Speaker 1: have that goal. I mean, if you're if you're going
Speaker 1: out and fucking all this ship up just to like
Speaker 1: party with you know, whoever you're partying with I mean,
Speaker 1: what are you? What are you doing? Man?
Speaker 2: You're right?
Speaker 1: And listen, here's the thing, bri Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Your wife. You're you're the luckiest man on earth right
Speaker 1: now because your wife hasn't left you yet and your
Speaker 1: kids haven't announced you yet, so you still have time
Speaker 1: to go and be a good dad. How old are
Speaker 1: your kids?
Speaker 2: Five and five and about three?
Speaker 1: Three five and three? Yea, brother, go go raise your
Speaker 1: kids and be with your wife.
Speaker 2: Man, God damn it, Lyle, you're right.
Speaker 1: You really needed me to well, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: what's your Josh? Josh? What what the fuck was gonna say?
Speaker 1: Have you spoken to a real therapist about this?
Speaker 2: No? I mean we had me and being a had
Speaker 2: some problems, so we went to the marriage counselor. But
Speaker 2: I've not spoken to a real therapist about this.
Speaker 1: I got you. You listen, listen, man, and here's the thing.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sorry. I I try not to,
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, do you do?
Speaker 2: I get it? All right?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my all right, I'm gonna do my
Speaker 1: gack o thing. You you should It's sounds here's what
Speaker 1: it sounds like to me. You you have a desire
Speaker 1: within you to be a good dad and a good
Speaker 1: husband's but you have whatever like addiction issues or trauma
Speaker 1: or whatever that you feel like is in the way
Speaker 1: of you doing that. So you gotta you gotta figure
Speaker 1: that out. Man, You gotta figure that and you're and
Speaker 1: you're lucky as fun because it's not too late to
Speaker 1: figure that out yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gotta, like I mean, I mean, man, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even I only know vaguely what
Speaker 1: you've told me. I mean, these like guys who these
Speaker 1: people who you're partying with, Like how often are you
Speaker 1: hanging out with them?
Speaker 2: So this was so it's basically guys on my softball team.
Speaker 2: They're not they're not bad people. It's not like intention
Speaker 2: was like it was supposed to be a beer Olympic.
Speaker 2: So like, I mean, that's and see what You're gonna
Speaker 2: get pretty drunk, right, I don't know, Like I'm not saying,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not hanging out with these guys, not
Speaker 2: a once a week thing. Like it's very very rare
Speaker 2: that I get this drunk, but it's happened enough times
Speaker 2: throughout the ten years we've been together. She's over it
Speaker 2: and I'm thirty, Like, here's.
Speaker 1: What I'm okay, But I said, how often? So like
Speaker 1: on a typical week? Oh right, no, like like can
Speaker 1: I hear? Like, but I don't you know, I really
Speaker 1: actually I kind of I don't know the full extent
Speaker 1: of what's going on. I mean, how yeah, like per
Speaker 1: per week, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Or week? How often am I getting like black out drunk?
Speaker 1: George, Just like, what are you doing? Like are you
Speaker 1: what do you typically do on an average week?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 2: So, I mean it used to be worse. Obviously, I
Speaker 2: would go out on the weekends with my friends when
Speaker 2: we were in our twenties.
Speaker 1: Whatever I'm talking about, I'm talking about that. Now, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the past. Yeah, the past few weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the past few weeks. It's only happened once.
Speaker 2: Like I'll drink. I'll drink maybe on softball nights, a
Speaker 2: couple of beers, maybe five or six here or there,
Speaker 2: but nothing like to the point where she wants to leave,
Speaker 2: so that it's a it's a very rare occasion that
Speaker 2: I get like that, But it's happened enough before I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say that kind of stuff happens like once a year.
Speaker 1: Maybe, what do you think it was about this time
Speaker 1: that made her like say something to you about it?
Speaker 2: But I was away from the kids for so long?
Speaker 1: Were you away from them? From the kids?
Speaker 2: It's about nine to ten hours?
Speaker 1: Okay. Have you ever been to AA or or attempted
Speaker 1: to quit drinking?
Speaker 2: Huh? Or small periods of time? But I think it's
Speaker 2: a step I should probably take.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you I mean, what do you think
Speaker 1: is preventing you from taking this step?
Speaker 2: I don't know who else I am without it?
Speaker 1: You don't know who else you are without it?
Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's a big.
Speaker 1: Does that sound Josh? Josh? Jo Josh? You have so much?
Speaker 1: What do you? You have? So many better things to be Yeah,
Speaker 1: your husband and a father?
Speaker 2: Right, you're right?
Speaker 1: What do you do for?
Speaker 2: Work for a factory?
Speaker 1: Okay? Do you really you don't feel any sense of
Speaker 1: identity without drinking?
Speaker 2: M Yeah, yeah I do. But it's just something I've
Speaker 2: known for so long.
Speaker 1: I guess, Well tell me this. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: you say you don't know who you are without it,
Speaker 1: you have this like thing in your mind where you're
Speaker 1: a lifelong you're what's that guy's name? I haven't even
Speaker 1: seen this movie? Is this is it? Is it ace Ventura?
Speaker 1: Is that him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe what you're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, I don't know or is that what's is
Speaker 1: that the name of the guy who is fuck? All right,
Speaker 1: I'm alright, all right, I'm officially pledging to no, I'm
Speaker 1: officially pledging to never reference a movie I haven't seen
Speaker 1: ever again. Anyway, you have the I you're like Bert Krascher,
Speaker 1: So you have this idea that you're like this party
Speaker 1: man forever that you like, wouldn't be anything without that.
Speaker 1: What is that true? Is that accurate?
Speaker 2: I mean, like, now that I think about it sounds
Speaker 2: kind of dumb. But that's kind of what I had
Speaker 2: thought in the past. Okay that it sounds kind of dumb,
Speaker 2: and you.
Speaker 1: Think it sounds kind of dumb. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, it's a little dumb.
Speaker 2: What would you know?
Speaker 1: But that's what But that's all right. Look listen, by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm really like I mean this, it's because
Speaker 1: it's really antithetical to how I want to do this.
Speaker 1: I'm really not trying to make you feel like like
Speaker 1: beat yourself up or whatever. Now, So what I mean Okay,
Speaker 1: if you were not that guy, what guy would you
Speaker 1: want to be? Because did I promise you? That's not
Speaker 1: the only guy you can be.
Speaker 2: It's like a like a good dad, like one who's
Speaker 2: always there for his kids, just like a normal guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm realize they're too old to be
Speaker 2: drinking like this.
Speaker 1: And okay, okay, yeah, you've got you've you've got you.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you're a lucky man. You have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go be that guy.
Speaker 2: You're right, I do. I haven't sucked it up enough yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess I mean, go to AA, go
Speaker 1: to uh a real therapist and hang out with your kids.

Speaker 1: Like you're telling me that you don't you think that
Speaker 1: you're going to die within the next two days.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I don't know. It's a possibility, right,
Speaker 4: Like it's how bad is lime that? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you I assume you've been doing a lot of
Speaker 1: googling with the confirmation bias of finding information that that
Speaker 1: will tell you that you're going to die in the
Speaker 1: next two days, like with m D.

Speaker 4: like a cold Bruski and just listen to the waves
Speaker 4: and then just kind of like stay it away into
Speaker 4: the abyss type deal.
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, why did you know that?

Speaker 1: big beach beer.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, well you know whatever, it's the lad day
Speaker 4: of the beach. Anyway, who cares. I can break all
Speaker 4: the rules, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You're not well okay, I mean, yes, sure you could die,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you don't even have to have lime
Speaker 1: disease to say that, I mean, I could just say
Speaker 1: you cause just have a brain aneurysm and fucking get
Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So yeah, no, totally with your friends.
Speaker 1: You said your friends made fun of you. What did
Speaker 1: What did they say when you told them you had
Speaker 1: lime disease?
Speaker 4: Yeah, shouts out to Brandon and Travis. I told them,
Speaker 4: and they just kind of made a joke out of it, like, dude,
Speaker 4: start a foundation, you know, and like let me get
Speaker 4: you know, like you know, like that mesophilioma commercial, like
Speaker 4: you or someone you knew. That's like what they were
Speaker 4: saying to me, dude, They're like, can I get the
Speaker 4: money from you having lime disease?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: It's kind of hurts.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's really sweet of you even after your
Speaker 1: friends made fun of you to still shout them out.
Speaker 4: I still love them, still love them.
Speaker 1: Are you going to give them, like when you die tomorrow,
Speaker 1: are you going to give them anything that you leave
Speaker 1: anything in your will?
Speaker 4: Honestly, if like lime disease turn out to be like
Speaker 4: the methophilioma, yeah, they can call that infomercial and say
Speaker 4: that's fine, I'll give them full permission for that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So so you're saying that if you die and
Speaker 1: there is someone someone is liable for your death, the Ticks,
Speaker 1: maybe friends are allowed to sue that their friends are
Speaker 1: allowed to sue the Ticks for everything they.
Speaker 4: Own, if there ever comes a time where the Ticks
Speaker 4: can be sued. Yeah, for sure. I want Brandon and
Speaker 4: Travis to have all the money nobody else.
Speaker 1: Even after they made fun of you.
Speaker 4: They're still my friends. Get I still love them.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna fucking die, dude, I mean that's not true.
Speaker 1: You will die at I'm nervous.
Speaker 4: I'm just nervous.
Speaker 1: You know, how old are you?
Speaker 4: I'm thirty, Like I'm young.
Speaker 1: Pretty goods pretty good, and that's like that used to be, like,
Speaker 1: I mean back in you can definitely find a period
Speaker 1: of time in human history where that's like elderly.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm scared, you know, I'm freaking scared. I'm
Speaker 4: freaking out. I kind of want to leave work and
Speaker 4: just go sit at the beach, just in gage. I
Speaker 4: don't want to die here.
Speaker 1: What do you do for work?
Speaker 4: I'm a barber. I cut people.
Speaker 1: You cut people's yeah, man, uh oh yeah, I just
Speaker 1: leave no, one couldn't. Is lime disease contagious? Could someone
Speaker 1: get it from you?
Speaker 4: So I looked it up because no, because I like people.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get No one's sick. Now it's transmuted,
Speaker 4: it's transmitted by blood, so like I'm not like doing
Speaker 4: blood transfusion. So like, no, everyone's fine. I knew it
Speaker 4: was fine. But what's crazy is like the only side
Speaker 4: effect I have if I do have lime is I'm
Speaker 4: just tired. Like I'm like really tired.
Speaker 1: You know, do you feel tired? You seem energized.
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm just like I'm just thinking about it. So
Speaker 4: like I get a little anxiety when I'm thinking about
Speaker 4: my disease or my possible disease that like I kind
Speaker 4: of get pumped.
Speaker 1: Back up, you know what the doctor saying.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't even get to talk to the doctor.
Speaker 4: I called the office and they're like, yeah, ticks are
Speaker 4: no big deal. We have a lot of them in Massachusetts.
Speaker 4: Go get blood work done and if you do have
Speaker 4: line disease, will put you on an antibiotic and it'll
Speaker 4: be fine.
Speaker 1: All right. So the fucking doctor told you that you're
Speaker 1: not gonna die, and you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But doctors are wrong all the time, though they're
Speaker 4: not my cases. What if my case is different? What
Speaker 4: if I have like something?
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, you're wrong. You and
Speaker 1: Google are wrong three hundred times more than doctors are.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Probably, but this is still that chance, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a chance that you'll get hit. There's a
Speaker 1: chance that you'll get you'll like take a shit wrong
Speaker 1: and all your persons will come out. Are you on
Speaker 1: the toilet? Are you? Is your pants around your ankles
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 4: No, I'm just like pacing in this little bathroom at work,
Speaker 4: like I won't have to really talk to you because
Speaker 4: I feel like you're great. I give it advice, so, yeah.
Speaker 1: Don't do My advice is to stop pacing around the
Speaker 1: bathroom stall if you're lying, Yeah, don't do that, because
Speaker 1: here's the thing you might not. I don't think you
Speaker 1: have only two days left to live, but you do
Speaker 1: have a finite amount of time left, and I think
Speaker 1: you should limit the amount of that time that you
Speaker 1: spend pacing around the bathroom thinking that you're going to okay,
Speaker 1: even when a doctor told you that you're going to
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 4: Okay, if I don't die. Can I call you back
Speaker 4: and like, can we talk?
Speaker 1: What do you have to do? What do we have
Speaker 1: to talk about? If you don't, if you're living, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you my survival story because it's probably gonna
Speaker 4: get ugly.
Speaker 1: You know what, what what do you mean your survival story?
Speaker 4: If I live, I'm a survivor of lyme disease.
Speaker 1: Get you don't even have line, you don't even you
Speaker 1: don't even know that you have lime disease.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's like a big possibility. Well you okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: If you go to the doctor and you get your
Speaker 1: blood work and they say that you don't have lime disease,
Speaker 1: you are not a survivor of lime disease.
Speaker 4: But what if I do have it and I take
Speaker 4: it into being honest and I don't die, then I'll
Speaker 4: be a survivor. Right.
Speaker 1: That's like saying that's like saying you've got a fucking
Speaker 1: uh splinter and you took it out with tweezers and
Speaker 1: now you're a survivor of splinters.
Speaker 4: No, we're talking about a blood disease here.
Speaker 1: If you take an antipotic, you're fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean could or maybe what if like, I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm gonna here's what I want to Here's
Speaker 1: what I want to Here's what I want to do
Speaker 1: before we go. Is uh, this is actually a really
Speaker 1: good opportunity because you're what you're not gonna die but
Speaker 1: right now, but you're gonna die. Else do you want
Speaker 1: to do? What else do you want to do before
Speaker 1: you die? You know, besides just go.
Speaker 4: Like major things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I never really thought about it. I like, I've always
Speaker 4: been a really happy guy as is. You know, I
Speaker 4: got friends, I got you know, I'm just very happy
Speaker 4: and so like one thing, I don't know, I probably

Speaker 1: did that tell me about? That?
Speaker 5: I was driving to work and the night before I
Speaker 5: have seen some ship. I did not want to sing,

Speaker 5: I don't I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: Were any other substances involved in this driving?
Speaker 5: No, I was, I was going to work. I'm in
Speaker 5: the medical field.

Speaker 5: I don't know. Once he said, how does that line go?
Speaker 5: Once he said, I could have me a good girl
Speaker 5: but still be addicted to them hood rats, I don't
Speaker 5: know what happened. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I can have me a good girl but still be
Speaker 1: addicted to them hood rats? Did you did you have
Speaker 1: your did you have? You a good girl and yet
Speaker 1: you were still addicted to them hood rats?
Speaker 5: No, I was a good girl, and there were always
Speaker 5: said rats.
Speaker 1: Okay, you were the good girl dating somebody who was
Speaker 1: still addicted to the hood rats. Okay, interesting, and so
Speaker 1: I mean tell you more.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I just I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: I forgave this man so many fucking times, and the
Speaker 5: whole time, Kanye was just telling me run away.
Speaker 1: Oh that's the song. It's the name of the song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the name of the song. Yeah, Kanye West is
Speaker 1: your boyfriend telling you to run away because he has
Speaker 1: a good girl and is still addicted to the hood rats. Wow.
Speaker 2: All right, that.
Speaker 5: I figured it out, I was like, oh my god, Like,
Speaker 5: I've been through so much fucking hurt and I didn't
Speaker 5: even have to. I could have just left first time.
Speaker 1: And I assume that you that you have since left, Well.
Speaker 2: I I have.
Speaker 5: But he still sleeps on my couch.
Speaker 1: He still sleeps on your couch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was not too long ago. This was like
Speaker 5: three days ago.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kanye West has any songs about
Speaker 1: sleeping on women's couches.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, uh, why is he still sleeping on your couch?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I feel bad. I don't want to
Speaker 5: just like, you know, kick him out. Not that I
Speaker 5: I just love myself more. I want to prioritize meat
Speaker 5: this time.
Speaker 1: So, okay, I have several questions about this. How long
Speaker 1: has this man been living on your couch?
Speaker 5: I mean, we lived together, but now I think I'm
Speaker 5: just I don't know, waiting for.
Speaker 1: Him to wait. So you live, so he pays rent?
Speaker 5: Yes he does. That's why I feel even like I
Speaker 5: don't want to just you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's not sleeping on your couch. He's living
Speaker 1: with you in the place that you guys both pay
Speaker 1: rents on and live together. Yeah, okay, that's an important difference.
Speaker 1: How long? How long? And when did you break up?
Speaker 5: M Tuesday?
Speaker 1: I think Tuesday? Okay, you broke up? Okay, so you
Speaker 1: broke up like four days ago?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: And what was the sort of straw that broke the
Speaker 1: camel's back that caused you to fully break up?
Speaker 5: I basically said, the last time anything happened, I was like,
Speaker 5: all right, just so you know, next time that's it.
Speaker 5: And I guess I don't know, Maybe I'm a fucking joke.
Speaker 5: And the same situation happened. So I was like, okay, okay, how.
Speaker 1: How much longer do you guys have left on that lease?
Speaker 5: I owned this place?
Speaker 1: But you you own the house.
Speaker 5: Uh, it's not a house, it's like a mobile home,
Speaker 5: but pretty much.
Speaker 1: You own it.
Speaker 5: My dad helped me out, but you own it.
Speaker 1: Yep. This and he pays you rent.
Speaker 5: Well, we pay rent together, like my dad.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: You're okay. Your dad owns it and you guys pay
Speaker 1: rent to your dad.
Speaker 5: No, everything, it's complicated. Everything's like under my name. That's
Speaker 5: like my dad helped me out. It's kind of like
Speaker 5: renting to own to my dad. But regardless, we still
Speaker 5: have to pay rent to like the manager here.
Speaker 1: So you're you know, you're right. This is confusing, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, let me ask you. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: let me let's clear. Let's clear this up. Is his
Speaker 1: name on any legal documents such as a lease?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Okay? Does he always pay you rent? That doesn't really matter,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious, yeah, okay, well what do you think?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: I just want to tell you how Conye spoke to
Speaker 6: me like, I don't know right now, looking I'm a
Speaker 6: little bit manic, Like I don't.
Speaker 5: Think straight right now. Because don't get me wrong, it
Speaker 5: was a really good relationship. But I just yeah, Conye
Speaker 5: spoke to me somehow, and I don't know, I really
Speaker 5: blacked out. I just want to let you know about that.
Speaker 1: Why did why? Why did it? Why was it a
Speaker 1: really good relationship?
Speaker 5: Oh? We had a lot of good times, Like you know,
Speaker 5: we dinner together every night, we go to gym together,
Speaker 5: we do everything together. And it isn't always bad, like
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes everything was good. Like he's really sweet,
Speaker 5: very kind, He's a good person. Probably just too much.
Speaker 4: I don't know, are you?
Speaker 1: But I'm curious aus something made you decide to break
Speaker 1: up with him?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 1: And what was that.
Speaker 5: I want on his phone?
Speaker 1: Okay? He was cheating on you for the how third
Speaker 1: fourth time?
Speaker 5: Probably maybe a little bit more. I don't know, can't count.
Speaker 5: It's been a long time.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's Sam? Sam? How old are you?
Speaker 5: I am twenty one?
Speaker 1: And is this the first boyfriend you've ever had?
Speaker 5: No, but I would considered it in my first.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you like, are you like, is life chill?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't like my job. I don't really have much friends.
Speaker 5: I do have my cousins and my cousins, but I
Speaker 5: would say it's chill. I just I don't know. It's
Speaker 5: like saying as team every day it becomes I don't know.
Speaker 1: Does any part of you want to kick this guy
Speaker 1: out of your house?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just.
Speaker 5: You know, when everything went down, I was like, it's
Speaker 5: fuck out. But I don't just just want him sleeping,
Speaker 5: you know, the streeting in this car that's fucked up.
Speaker 1: Do you don't want him sleeping on the street in
Speaker 1: his car? How old does this guy also? Come on? Okay?
Speaker 1: And he's been paying your rent?
Speaker 5: Yep?
Speaker 3: He has?
Speaker 4: How much is?
Speaker 1: How much does he pay you in rent?
Speaker 5: It's really cheap here where we live, which is why
Speaker 5: we live, like four hundred bucks around almost five times.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, that doesn't even matter. But you know, Sam,
Speaker 1: I like, I really think I get where you are
Speaker 1: coming from, because you had a lot of good times
Speaker 1: with this person, and regardless of how they've treated you,
Speaker 1: you care about them, and so you don't want them
Speaker 1: to be on this street. But Ah, I do think
Speaker 1: I don't do you not that you asked for my opinion,
Speaker 1: but you kind of did by calling into my show,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give it to you. I kind of
Speaker 1: think that, uh again, while you may care about this person,
Speaker 1: their their life is not your responsibility, Like they gotta
Speaker 1: learn as a fucking you know, they gotta they gotta
Speaker 1: fucking you know, handle their own ship, you know, because
Speaker 1: he kind of fucked around and found out. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'm you know whatever, that's his journey to deal with.
Speaker 1: It's not yours. And so if you're keeping this guy
Speaker 1: on your couch at a detriment to yourself, I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. Yeah, but I understand that
Speaker 1: this just happened about, uh, you know, two seconds ago,
Speaker 1: and that you've been with this guy for six years,
Speaker 1: and that you know, a frog on the internet is
Speaker 1: not gonna change those emotional connections. But just think about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a lot of thinking to do. Honestly.
Speaker 1: Listen, what's that? What's that one song? Listen to? Uh?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when when I'm like, when you know,
Speaker 1: life is fucking crazy, which it often is, I'll think
Speaker 1: about the Kanye'll I also have a Kanye West line
Speaker 1: I'll think about where he says something like, and the
Speaker 1: weather is so breezy, man, why can't life always be
Speaker 1: this easy? But but I don't, I don't. I don't know, Kanye.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I can't why life can't always
Speaker 1: be this easy? But it can't even for Kanye West,
Speaker 1: life cannot always be easy.
Speaker 5: Kanye, he just speaks the truth.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, I don't know about that. I do
Speaker 1: not sign off on that statement. He makes very good music,
Speaker 1: but I do not sign off on the statement that
Speaker 1: he speaks the truth because he's because because he speaks
Speaker 1: a lot, he's he speaks a lot of things, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if all those things are the truth,
Speaker 1: my friend, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't sign off
Speaker 1: on that, but uh, just just think about it, all right, ye? Sam?
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 5: Just live last love and don't be a good girl.
Speaker 5: Just cheat back, I guess.
Speaker 1: Hold on before all right, I'll let you go, all right,
Speaker 1: Take care, Sam?
Speaker 5: Yep, thank you too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if listen flashing
Speaker 1: lights is a great song, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: if if I sign off on the on those truths?
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, Hi, Hi?
Speaker 1: What is your name?
Speaker 3: Emily?
Speaker 1: Emily? It says here that you want to talk about
Speaker 1: working for your dad's mistress. Oh my god, your god, rom,
Speaker 1: who do you think? Who did you think it was?
Speaker 3: Wow? Oh my gosh, my heart is tounting.
Speaker 1: Yes, did you think you know what? I gotta say.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Well, it's so funny because you must
Speaker 1: be very nice to all the telemarketers, because you were
Speaker 1: quite cordial with me, even though you didn't you thought
Speaker 1: I was just some random motherfucker on the phone.
Speaker 3: I'm just like in shock. I just couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: Wow, So what's up? What's up? Mante?
Speaker 4: What is?
Speaker 1: What is this whole thing that you wanted to wanted
Speaker 1: to speak about?
Speaker 3: So? Growing up, my dad had this secret mistress which
Speaker 3: was actually my best friend's mom, which kind of sucked.
Speaker 3: And I recently like went through a lot of shit
Speaker 3: and lost my job and my dad got me two
Speaker 3: jobs basically working for her. And at first, because I
Speaker 3: don't like her, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 2: You're a homeworker.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I just can't believe I'm talking to
Speaker 3: you Gek. So yeah, so I'm not a fan of her.
Speaker 3: I don't like her. I don't talk to her ever
Speaker 3: since I found out, I've kind of just like canceled
Speaker 3: her out of my life. But now I'm working for her,
Speaker 3: so I have no choice but to talk to her.
Speaker 3: And she's actually not that bad, but also, like, I
Speaker 3: have mixed feelings because of what she did when I
Speaker 3: was younger, like to my family and like behind my
Speaker 3: mom's back. But she was like friends with my mom, and.
Speaker 1: So did your So your dad did she your dad
Speaker 1: cheated on your mom with this lady who you're now
Speaker 1: working for, who's also your best friend's mom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we're not best friends anymore, but growing up
Speaker 3: we were best friends. Like our families were really close.
Speaker 1: That's like a lifetime movie.
Speaker 3: Like seriously and me, I grew up on the Carnival,
Speaker 3: so like we were always together. You grew up on
Speaker 3: the Cardinal Cruise ship like like the Traveling Fair. Sorry
Speaker 3: people get it confused, Hold on that.
Speaker 1: I just want to say real quick, it's extremely funny
Speaker 1: that when like because okay, when you said Carnival, no,
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what you meant but you thought that
Speaker 1: meant you thought I thought you meant the cruise line
Speaker 1: never mind, okay you not you.
Speaker 3: But there's people out there who I've told that too,
Speaker 3: and they're like on the cruise group and I'm like nobody.
Speaker 1: It's funny that they've taken over the Carnival brand anyway,
Speaker 1: So you're you see, all your life, you hated this woman.
Speaker 1: You wanted her out of your out of your uh uh,
Speaker 1: you canceled her out of your brain, and then you
Speaker 1: told me you started working for her, and you say
Speaker 1: she's actually not that bad. What led you to lead?
Speaker 1: What led you to feel that way?
Speaker 3: So I'm a caregiver so and I also do like
Speaker 3: bill coding, so that's what I'm doing for her. I
Speaker 3: take care of her mother, and I also do bill
Speaker 3: coding for her business as well, and so I have
Speaker 3: to talk to her, like I can't avoid it, and
Speaker 3: we've actually had some like really great conversations. I think
Speaker 3: that she's like kind and I think she's funny and
Speaker 3: a nice person. But like, also, again, you were like
Speaker 3: fucking my dad, like behind my mom's back, and that's
Speaker 3: like you caused all that dramas. So but then again,
Speaker 3: everyone's human, So I just have like mixed feelings, like
Speaker 3: I don't know if I should still like have anger
Speaker 3: towards her or like ill will for her or what.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Yes, what feeling towards
Speaker 1: her would make your life the easiest?
Speaker 3: Probably forgiveness?
Speaker 1: Okay, So so look, if if you feel that your
Speaker 1: life would be easier for just for you, then you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a terrible thing. If you
Speaker 1: want to hold a grudge and you feel like that's
Speaker 1: important and that it's it's an important thing for you
Speaker 1: and you don't want to forgive and whatnot, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can do that too, but personally, I think again
Speaker 1: it's an it's your You get to answer that question
Speaker 1: of which of those feelings is going to make your
Speaker 1: life easier, especially because you have to work with this
Speaker 1: person every single day. I mean, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: You can go find another another gig if you really
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 3: But you know, again not really, I'm on probation. So
Speaker 3: like I'm kind of like I can't go really anywhere
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Huh, why are you on probation?
Speaker 3: So I was at a music festival and I was
Speaker 3: you know, doing my hippie thing in the middle of
Speaker 3: the crowd, and basically the cops were wandering through the crowd, uh,
Speaker 3: and they caught me doing ketamine. So they caught a
Speaker 3: lot of people doing a lot of things. It was
Speaker 3: actually pretty terrible.
Speaker 2: Experience.
Speaker 1: We just we I guess got to talk about this
Speaker 1: real quick, kedemy, Like, I don't understand ketamine because well,
Speaker 1: I know, it's a depression medication that people they were
Speaker 1: like a depression treatment that people really fuck with, but
Speaker 1: you know people also like use it, uh likes it.
Speaker 1: It kind of locks you into the couch, right, isn't
Speaker 1: that what a k hole is? Like you don't want
Speaker 1: to get up or move or doing it. It's like
Speaker 1: a down or drug. Right.
Speaker 3: So I've had my experiences with it where it does
Speaker 3: that to me. But then uh, it just like depends
Speaker 3: on how much you take and like what kind it is.
Speaker 3: I don't really know the whole scientific like the different
Speaker 3: versions of it, but it just depends. Uh, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to do any that's just gonna have me sitting
Speaker 3: there in a whole nother world. I don't like that feeling.
Speaker 3: I just like the lighthearted feeling that it gives me.
Speaker 3: You just have to do a little bit at a time.
Speaker 3: Some people enjoyed the K hole. I don't. I find
Speaker 3: it scary.
Speaker 1: I I did a bump of ketamine once and it
Speaker 1: like I just I thought I was gonna have a
Speaker 1: fucking heart attack.
Speaker 3: It could be scary. There was one time I did
Speaker 3: it and I felt like I was traveling out of
Speaker 3: my body and like whatever I was traveling in, like
Speaker 3: I would call myself like a little orb. It felt
Speaker 3: like I couldn't find my way back to my body.
Speaker 3: And that was very scary.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. So what do you think you're what
Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna do with this?
Speaker 3: Uh, with this lady that you work for, I basically
Speaker 3: just like take care of her, make sure she takes
Speaker 3: her medication and I cook for her.
Speaker 2: And so do you do it?
Speaker 1: So you're a caretaker for your dad's former mistress.
Speaker 3: I'm for her mom?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, now, okay, how's her? What's her?
Speaker 1: Is her mom? Cool?
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, she's cool.
Speaker 3: She like is quiet and like keeps to herself. So
Speaker 3: it can be like boring at times, but I mean
Speaker 3: she's cool. No complaints.
Speaker 1: Do you still?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: Does this is this lady and your dad are they like,
Speaker 1: are they together in.
Speaker 3: And no, So he's still like with my mom kind
Speaker 3: of they're like a partner. They're like a partnership and
Speaker 3: she's still with her husband, but she's like friends with
Speaker 3: my dad.
Speaker 1: Still your mom, what's your mom think about that?
Speaker 3: My mom's just like the sweetest person ever. So she's
Speaker 3: just like whatever, I have a nice house and he
Speaker 3: buys me, pursues so and I've been with him for
Speaker 3: this long, so I told him, like I was the
Speaker 3: one who told my mom. I was like, yo, dad's
Speaker 3: cheating on you with uh this lady that you know.
Speaker 3: And then she almost like left him and like got
Speaker 3: a different house and he like he like came home
Speaker 3: and like convinced her otherwise. And Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 3: Which sucks because I was so young to carry that
Speaker 3: and like know about that. It kind of gave me
Speaker 3: trust is she was not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: How old were you?
Speaker 3: I was like in middle school and it was happening
Speaker 3: for a while, and everybody knew and nobody told.
Speaker 1: My mom just like fucked and you're twenty nine now,
Speaker 1: I am. I'm so damn. This was like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was like happening for a while, damn.
Speaker 1: So you were like, fucking what was it like when
Speaker 1: you were fourteen and you told your mom that your
Speaker 1: dad heard your dad was cheating on her? Howd she like?
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: She was like upset, but we didn't really like talk
Speaker 3: about it. My mom's not a very like she's not
Speaker 3: a big person on like talking about her feelings and
Speaker 3: stuff like that, so she kind of just like acknowledged
Speaker 3: it and then like kept on going through her days.
Speaker 3: I know that she had like a conversation with my
Speaker 3: dad saying that she was going to leave even she
Speaker 3: was showing me houses, and then he came home and
Speaker 3: he stayed with her like at her house for like
Speaker 3: a week, and then everything changed, like it was like
Speaker 3: everything was back to normal, like it never happened and
Speaker 3: it was just like not spoken on again.
Speaker 1: Do you do you think your mom is like chill now, Like,
Speaker 1: do you think she's happy?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think my mom just like has accepted where
Speaker 3: her life is and like who she's with and that's
Speaker 3: just like fine with her. So in her in her words,
Speaker 3: she's like, oh, I built a life with him for
Speaker 3: the past like twenty years, and I have two kids,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, me, I would have been like, fuck you,
Speaker 3: I'm out of here. I'll start over.
Speaker 1: I guess I get it. I guess it's like, uh
Speaker 1: like I gotta say the there was no greater force
Speaker 1: that repels people from doing stuff then uh something being
Speaker 1: a whole fucking thing, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: uh Like, it's like I guess, I guess I get
Speaker 1: where she's coming from. Where it's like, yeah, this guy
Speaker 1: fucking cheated on me and I'm gonna leave. But then
Speaker 1: you look at you're like, damn man, fucking rebuilding my
Speaker 1: life after this is just like it's a whole fucking thing.
Speaker 3: I don't want to deal with it, like, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and my mom came from My mom came from nothing,
Speaker 3: like she's from a small ass town in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: So he kind of like they really built like a
Speaker 3: life together. So I understand now that I'm adult, I understand,
Speaker 3: And you know, can I tell you how they met?
Speaker 3: It's kind of fucked up, but funny.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 3: So she went to the county fair of course, and
Speaker 3: he was working there and he was like buckling them
Speaker 3: in and he hit on her cousin who she was
Speaker 3: sitting next to and she's like, oh, no, I have
Speaker 3: a boyfriend. So then he was like buckling my mom
