Speaker 2: Hey, I can. What's your name?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Let's go with Jack, Jack. What's up Jack? That sounds
Speaker 2: like something Joe. That sounds like something Joe Biden would say,
Speaker 2: what's up Jack?
Speaker 3: How you doing?
Speaker 2: How's life?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's it's upset, it's up, it's it stuns.
Speaker 3: Up and down.
Speaker 1: Found Uh lately I've actually kind of texted you, uh
Speaker 1: some kind of broad strokes information about myself.
Speaker 2: Uh well, I I I did not get your text?
Speaker 2: Why don't you? Why don't you say it to us again?
Speaker 1: Fair enough? Uh? So I'm an earth relatively new uh
Speaker 1: started about a year ago. Uh, but I've been out
Speaker 1: of work lately because of the knee injury, because of
Speaker 1: a fight that I didn't want to get involved in,
Speaker 1: but bachnically want until I got until other people stepped in.
Speaker 1: Oh and I also recently lost my virginity.
Speaker 2: You recently lost your virginity?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: How how is that? Tell me that? Tell me tell
Speaker 2: me all the juicy details if you so desire.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean technically nobody knows me, so why not?
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful time. It was actually a first
Speaker 1: date with a co worker, and you know, I would
Speaker 1: have just been happy with just like a you know,
Speaker 1: a date. But uh, you know, we were watching some anime,
Speaker 1: some I think with death Notes, and eventually we started
Speaker 1: to get a little freaky and uh yeah it was
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. And uh, well what's really cool is there
Speaker 1: seems to be a little uh spark between us, like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we really enjoy each other's personality, like we
Speaker 1: were co workers for like a year before we even
Speaker 1: thought of doing anything.
Speaker 2: Wow. Pretty cool, Pretty cool. All right, So this isn't
Speaker 2: just a uh uh an anime induced sexual rendezvous. This
Speaker 2: is uh the potential buds of something that could could
Speaker 2: could last a while.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, those animated cities probably helped,
Speaker 1: but I mean no, I think, uh, I mean, I think,
Speaker 1: I mean because you really like you are the only
Speaker 1: thing that might might worry me is you know, she
Speaker 1: works a lot, which you know I give you know,
Speaker 1: she she had a kid, so I mean she's gotta
Speaker 1: care for her care for her kid. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you know I want to see her. I
Speaker 1: don't think uh yeah, no, no, no, it's like get dead.
Speaker 1: You gotta take care of that kid. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be respectful dead, but it's also like I want to
Speaker 1: spend time with her, And TJ also went to say,
Speaker 1: that's like I really want to spend time with you too.
Speaker 2: Interesting interesting, interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's like we both want it. We both
Speaker 1: get there's natural reasons why there's barriers. We're both readable adults.
Speaker 1: It's just we want to see each other more. It
Speaker 1: would be nice.
Speaker 2: What is the how many times have you guys rendezvous?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well the first uh well, after that first day,
Speaker 1: my parents were out of town for quite a few days,
Speaker 1: so you know, we had to have for ourselves, so
Speaker 1: we made good ships to that pretty good uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but uh we have I have that on taking her
Speaker 1: to well. I guess I shouldn't say excadinly why it
Speaker 1: is because uh you know right now I'm doing a
Speaker 1: pretty good job and keep my calfe ambiguous. But it's
Speaker 1: a really nice little uh little things that I would
Speaker 1: have a nice little air on beyond romance to it
Speaker 1: that she's really like only downside of the time falls a
Speaker 1: lot of walking. But I can do it with my life.
Speaker 1: I've gentually been doing daily walks for about a mile
Speaker 1: or two to try to build up strength for my
Speaker 1: knee surgery that's coming up.
Speaker 2: Mmm all right, so let me let me recap this.
Speaker 2: All right, So you're taking this lady out on a
Speaker 2: romantic date to like a what like to like a
Speaker 2: fucking botanical garden or something like.
Speaker 1: That, something like it. It's like a light show type thing.
Speaker 2: Oh, very cool, very nice, guys. What I mean, you
Speaker 2: don't have to tell me the nitty gritty, but what
Speaker 2: what do you guys work at?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What kind of industry.
Speaker 1: We work at? We both work in a hospital. We
Speaker 1: both work on a neurosurgical form.
Speaker 2: Oh, holy fucking tits. Ye that's that's huge. That's a lot. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: So you're both busy medical professionals and she has a kid.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and she also had a second job that
Speaker 1: she actually is gonna be starting back up soon too.
Speaker 1: So it's like if I think she's busy, now, oh
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but you're getting the vibe from her, because
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing, right, is that like it's
Speaker 2: hard to tell. I mean some some sometimes you kind
Speaker 2: of sometimes your gut tells you and you can decide
Speaker 2: whether or not you want to believe it. But it's
Speaker 2: like hard to tell whether or not. It's like somebody
Speaker 2: is like a lot of the times, yes, people are
Speaker 2: like actually genuinely fucking busy. Like do you get the
Speaker 2: vibe that she's like genuinely actually busy and wants to
Speaker 2: wants to make it work. And she's not like.
Speaker 1: Blowing you off. She's like like a teddy bear. She's
Speaker 1: so sweet.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: And I also really think that she had a problem.
Speaker 1: She she hasn't been she had had ashe was just
Speaker 1: saying it before.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm mm hmm. And so hmmm, uh how long
Speaker 2: have you guys? So you got but you guys are
Speaker 2: not like in a religious a fairly new thing happening.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're trying to you're trying to invest in
Speaker 2: the relationship with the hope being that it can become
Speaker 2: a stable thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and also she was telling me about how
Speaker 1: uh well her baby dad yould tell I was telling
Speaker 1: her one day, I really want to spoil you. It's

Speaker 1: bit like uh I gave her this, Uh well, I
Speaker 1: gave her this one. Uh this one break like like
Speaker 1: you know, very you know, relatively cheap. She said, she doesn't,
Speaker 1: you know, go for like the really nice things. So
Speaker 1: I said, okay, some mean it'll flucks, but looks good,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I think it turned
Speaker 1: out very nice.
Speaker 2: Cool man, cool, This sounds nice. This sounds nice. So
Speaker 2: this is this is your first first foray into like
Speaker 2: a relationship.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's like and she's really understanding of Also it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is the
Speaker 1: difference between you know, you know, thinking you have feelings
Speaker 1: and actually having the feelings. I think I have the feelings,
Speaker 1: but it's also like, you know, I've never had these
Speaker 1: feelings before, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally totally can ask how old you are?
Speaker 1: Going on?
Speaker 2: Really cool, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1: Right, here's a great thing about many it's now it's
Speaker 1: not up because I used to be a virgin. Now
Speaker 1: I'm an authentic man.
Speaker 2: Very good, very nice. Do you feel different? Do you
Speaker 2: feel like you know you've you've shed some metaphor weight?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, honestly, there's this great analogy I've heard
Speaker 1: about having sex before that I thought and I still
Speaker 1: think it's great sex, especially having sex for the first time.
Speaker 1: It's like going to New York. You know, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You know, it's a it's a new experience,
Speaker 1: and you get to kind of connect with others because
Speaker 1: you now have because by going to New York, you
Speaker 1: have experience to kind of draw upon when you talk
Speaker 1: about your students, you know, going to New York. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it doesn't really change you.
Speaker 1: You're not any different as a result. You just went
Speaker 1: to New York. How was it? Did you have fun?
Speaker 2: Right? Right, No, yes, you you're You're the same guy
Speaker 2: before and after you had sex for the first time.
Speaker 2: It didn't. It didn't didn't really mature. It didn't. It doesn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess if I mean so, some people have varying
Speaker 2: degrees of UH it's shame or whatever associated with UH
Speaker 2: for unity or whatever. But it's like, at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, there's no you are the same person
Speaker 2: before and after you lost your virginity. It didn't really
Speaker 2: do it didn't. It didn't ultimately do much to change
Speaker 2: your identity or your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well one thing it did change. I found
Speaker 1: out that differently. I've been brainwashed by porn and the
Speaker 1: thinking that a that ache, that a actually big dick
Speaker 1: isn't a big dick. And I found that out personally.
Speaker 1: You know what I means.
Speaker 2: I actually hold on, let me see if I know
Speaker 2: what you mean. Okay, you were brainwashed by porn into
Speaker 2: thinking that. Okay, porn brainwashed you into thinking that.
Speaker 1: Basically I had like a maybe subpart uh, you know,
Speaker 1: machinery at best during that and then actually.
Speaker 2: Have it turns out you actually have a huge cock.
Speaker 1: Well, I would say, dude, but.
Speaker 2: Pretty good, pretty good. You saw well, look whether or
Speaker 2: not look whether or not this experience was identity shaping
Speaker 2: or life defining. It sounds like you're having a good time.
Speaker 2: That's what matters.
Speaker 1: I mean they barely elevated me after my knee got
Speaker 1: you went out and not being able to work that
Speaker 1: Uh mainly that didn't that that didn't make me feel
Speaker 1: super great about myself, and then that made me feel awesome.
Speaker 1: I would I would have, but I'm like one of
Speaker 1: those like cane dances that like you see like Sinatra
Speaker 1: doing those old movies. If it wasn't for the fact
Speaker 1: that I should twigged this thing.
Speaker 2: And who who? Tell me more about who? Who is
Speaker 2: this lady that you're seeing that as the kid, Like,
Speaker 2: what's her? What's her deal?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, she's been working as uh well, she's the work
Speaker 1: as a healthcare worker there for quite a while before
Speaker 1: I was working there. She'sn uh she's very uh health
Speaker 1: centric focused. She's in uh very focused. She's heavily focused
Speaker 1: on making trying to make sure she uh you know,
Speaker 1: uh keeps your mental in check. And uh it's not
Speaker 1: that's the lose the way. It's a little bit harder
Speaker 1: because she has to like metabolic. That's a let her unfortunately.
Speaker 1: So it's it's so it's for I mean honestly because
Speaker 1: it's it's worse really for her because like you know,
Speaker 1: you know, your your body is the one that took
Speaker 1: made me. H man, So I think it's beautiful, But
Speaker 1: I mean I also understand how you know, you also
Speaker 1: want to you know, benefit yourself from a health perspective,
Speaker 1: and you know all that. So I also support you
Speaker 1: trying to, you know what I mean. So it's like
Speaker 1: I'm having to trade both sides of I think you're beautiful,
Speaker 1: but also I support you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's sweet, that's very nice. You sound like a sweet
Speaker 2: good Jack. You sound like a sweet guy.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. I it's coming for you especially.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that it finds you to be kind of
Speaker 1: a very in such full person.
Speaker 2: Oh thanks man, God damn h are you are you sound?
Speaker 2: Are you happy?
Speaker 1: Jack?
Speaker 2: You sound like you're you sound like a joyful man.
Speaker 1: Well, well that's what part is. Because of my b
Speaker 1: being on disability, my dad said, I can only do
Speaker 1: uh stationary work. And I'm not sure if you really
Speaker 1: notice what nurses, especially on surgical floors do, but uh,
Speaker 1: none of what they do is really stationary. They're constantly
Speaker 1: moving up exactly. It's exactly. So it's like that basically
Speaker 1: means Okay, you have to stay home and just focus
Speaker 1: on recovery. And the ponts aroblem is with how the
Speaker 1: system is set up. I mean, I basically have to
Speaker 1: wait a month before my surgery and I did it
Speaker 1: today if I if it is that with an option
Speaker 1: and then the recovery for that, it's like a month.
Speaker 1: So it's like that's two months that I can't work
Speaker 1: or get full pay. So it's like, you know, but
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm taking that, but it's also like I'm
Speaker 1: getting paid also does not work? Is another way to
Speaker 1: look at it.
Speaker 2: Do you and you still you live with your parents?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Do you have? Are you hoping to move out at
Speaker 2: some point soon now that you have like you know,
Speaker 2: you got your money coming in, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I am, I'm making ill want plans for it
Speaker 1: right now. The plan is because especially I just had
Speaker 1: my associates. My plan is to get my uh bachelor's uh,
Speaker 1: which will allow me to get the certificates that allows
Speaker 1: me to better specialize in my field. Make a bunch
Speaker 1: of money, and then you know, paying for rents gonna
Speaker 1: be just trump change.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean like it say I still, here's the thing
Speaker 1: is now that I have a girlfriend, strug girl about that.
Speaker 1: Now that I have a girlfriend and that I'm paid,
Speaker 1: I kind of don't have a reason delete the house
Speaker 1: at the public.
Speaker 2: Is it? But before you get ahead of yourself, is
Speaker 2: this lady your girlfriends yet?
Speaker 1: I mean we we definitely think it's something. I think
Speaker 1: she would she would be opposed to the term girlf
Speaker 1: And apparently she's already told everybody at works had we've
Speaker 1: you know, uh she you know did did that?
Speaker 2: She she she already she told everyone to work that
Speaker 2: you guys had sex.
Speaker 1: Apparently.
Speaker 2: I mean that's, I guess a good sign. That means
Speaker 2: that there was.
Speaker 1: Apparently like a huge like flirt, so like apparently like
Speaker 1: she it that I exactly new for her. So most
Speaker 1: of mean it's all good things to too.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, Jack, it sounds like it sounds like, uh,
Speaker 4: it sounds like everything is correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker 4: But from our fifteen minutes together, it sounds like things
Speaker 4: are actually going pretty well in your universe.
Speaker 1: But yeoing, it's going well. I mean, you know it
Speaker 1: could be better, but I mean, you know you can't
Speaker 1: control people. I mean, you know, it just says I
Speaker 1: forgave that guy that you know give you a bad
Speaker 1: knee from now on?
Speaker 2: Wait which guy someone gave you a bad name?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's what's going Why I have to have
Speaker 1: the bad knee and uh some surgery comment up, It's because,
Speaker 1: like I got, I got in some fight that I
Speaker 1: didn't want to at a like a parade, right.
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right right right? Did you tell me
Speaker 2: the story of this fight earlier in this call?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think I taught touched on it,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know you got but initally I kind
Speaker 1: of threw a lot of interesting things that he is.
Speaker 1: So it's uh aga, I'm playing for Game detected.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened with the fight? What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What transpired?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I was down to the parade. I was
Speaker 1: trying to I was trying to just jill get some booze,
Speaker 1: and this guy just uh won't please, won't leave me alone.
Speaker 1: He starts swinging at me. I take him down the
Speaker 1: first time, tell him to leave me alone. And then
Speaker 1: he starts following me. I should have just uh, I
Speaker 1: could have just uh, I would have just kept walking
Speaker 1: because honestly, he was so drunk, and so he's take
Speaker 1: down the first time. If I would have, uh would
Speaker 1: have made it like a yard before stumbling on his
Speaker 1: own face. But I got in my head about how
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be looking over my shoulder the
Speaker 1: whole time while I was at the parade, so I decided, okay,
Speaker 1: let's just take care of this. And then uh, I
Speaker 1: was only waiting to fight. But then uh, some other
Speaker 1: people jumped in and uh then the way he uh,
Speaker 1: he was able to rest his arms around my leg
Speaker 1: and away where he was able to basically tackle into
Speaker 1: my knee, and that caused my a cl and my
Speaker 1: ladder o miniscus to get torn as a result.
Speaker 2: So, okay, hold on, I don't understand. I don't understand here.
Speaker 2: You're at a parade, you're drunk. Why does he start
Speaker 2: swinging first?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Did you bump?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no no no he no, he's drunk. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I'm just like a little bit buzz maybe
Speaker 1: a little uh, you know, stoned. You know, I'm mostly
Speaker 1: trying to like, you know, get it, get it the lag.
Speaker 1: This is before I had a girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Okay, so how did you So why did he But
Speaker 2: why did he swing at you?
Speaker 1: Because he was drunk as hell and just with with
Speaker 1: intention to do harm. He was trying to from my understanding,
Speaker 1: he was trying to fight people all day.
Speaker 2: Hmm. Okay, so he was so okay, So you're telling
Speaker 2: me this guy was just you didn't like to hit
Speaker 2: on his girlfriend or something.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I was literally just passing this dude
Speaker 1: by barely. Wait you try to try to talk to me.
Speaker 1: But he was drunk and I did know what he
Speaker 1: was saying and didn't like the way he was saying
Speaker 1: to me. So I may have told him to funk off,
Speaker 1: But I mean.
Speaker 2: You're and you're telling you're telling me that the first
Speaker 2: you took him down, you like, what how would you do?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: The first time I did was well, basically, he swung
Speaker 1: at me, so I uh, I grabbed like, uh, I
Speaker 1: did the typical white boy thing of grabbing the back
Speaker 1: of his shirt and swing and swinging at at the
Speaker 1: back of his shirt and swinging at him while taking
Speaker 1: him down, just because I didn't even want to fight
Speaker 1: the dude, So why would I fight fair?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: But still hope whoever, I hope, whoever is like in
Speaker 2: charge of it administering your disability didn't see you beat
Speaker 2: this guy up.
Speaker 3: Because then.
Speaker 1: I was trying I can join my Dodger said, just
Speaker 1: so that way they know exactly, because I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: when he tagled into my knee that was what tore
Speaker 1: up my ato.
Speaker 2: But now, okay, so you grabbed the back of his
Speaker 2: shirt and then just started like punching him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, just started swinging at him while
Speaker 1: also bringing him down into the ground.
Speaker 2: Okay, and then what'd you do? You were like, all right,
Speaker 2: now leave me alone, and then you walked.
Speaker 3: Away, uh more or less.
Speaker 1: I mean, I may have. And they have also called
Speaker 1: him a super drunk, super dumb drunk or something like that.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, he was swinging at me for
Speaker 1: no reason, I mean, kind of warranted, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: And then he starts following you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he starts following me, you know, he you know,
Speaker 1: he starts spearing up and then I take him down,
Speaker 1: and then somebody and then something somebody else jumps in,
Speaker 1: which allows him to uh that's up my knee and
Speaker 1: I and then some things have it, but I'm as
Speaker 1: to get away, uh more or less, mine's the knee on.

Speaker 2: before we go? Are you planning on is? Did you
Speaker 2: get everything out of your system? Are you ready to
Speaker 2: not fight people anymore? Or or should the folks?
Speaker 1: I didn't want to fight that dude to begin with that.
Speaker 2: I was, bro, you look in the video you look
Speaker 2: very excited to fight this guy.
Speaker 1: No, No, what I looked like with pissed off, like
Speaker 1: he was annoying the fuck out of me. I told him,
Speaker 1: leave me alone. I'm not in a playfy mood. He
Speaker 1: can't follow followed me.
Speaker 2: He told he unfortunate. Look, believe whatever you want. But
Speaker 2: he kind of looks like he won the fight. He
Speaker 2: was at the by the end of the fight, you
Speaker 2: were on the ground and he was stomping on you
Speaker 2: and people had to take him away.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, well when he taggled into me when
Speaker 1: I was doing my atl Yeah so I good. Understanding
Speaker 1: was kind of difficult by that point.

Speaker 2: share the video, but I do wish that I could
Speaker 2: jump somehow show it to the listeners. It is funny
Speaker 2: because now that I watched that video where he pretty
Speaker 2: clearly lost to the fight, it brings into credible I'm
Speaker 2: not Here's the thing I'm when this podcast as a whole.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big I'm not big on pressing people
Speaker 2: as to whether or not I believe that they are
Speaker 2: telling the truth. But it does bring into question. It
Speaker 2: does bring this gentleman's credibility into question. He probably had sex.
Speaker 2: Even if it didn't have whatever, whatever this man did
Speaker 2: with his life was probably fine. I wish him good luck.
Speaker 2: I hope he had hope he continues to have sex.
Speaker 2: I hope he stays out of fights and uh may
Speaker 2: ill oh bless him. Hello, Hey, what's up man? What's

Speaker 2: How can I? How can I get you today? What's
Speaker 2: going on with you? Sir?
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 3: I have been really vibing with the conversations you've been
Speaker 3: having lately with the last couple of people about kind
Speaker 3: of having a decent or good life. I feel like
Speaker 3: that arc from people being like, oh, my life's really
Speaker 3: shitty to kind of finding that like piece and redemption,
Speaker 3: like whether it be through Like I've been really vibing
Speaker 3: with the talk about SSR eyes.
Speaker 2: I work in the medical.
Speaker 3: Field, so it's always like yeah, it's always like I
Speaker 3: don't know, people like villainize it because I work in
Speaker 3: the emergency room. So you see a lot of people
Speaker 3: who come in with like you know, they're on like
Speaker 3: a huge list of these SSR eyes, and people just
Speaker 3: see them as crazy. So it's kind of nice to
Speaker 3: be able to see like, no, this actually helps like
Speaker 3: normal people, Like this is you know, something very helpful
Speaker 3: and not just his zombie drug to make crazy people
Speaker 3: not crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: on my own ssri I journey right now. Who fucking
Speaker 2: knows where it's gonna lead. But I mean, are you
Speaker 2: do you are you into pills? Do you like popping pills.
Speaker 3: For a little bit. I was just doing like they
Speaker 3: have like anti anxiety mens. I don't know if you've
Speaker 3: ever heard of like like people sometimes people use like bendryl.
Speaker 3: You can use like super simple like allergy meds is
Speaker 3: like a way to like calm yourself down. Like when
Speaker 3: I was in college, I used to Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 3: pretty nice. Well it's not gnarly. It's actually really cool
Speaker 3: because they're they're like as needed use. You know how
Speaker 3: like with your meds right now, you probably have to
Speaker 3: take them for like six weeks before you start seeing
Speaker 3: like any kind of effect.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these ones you can take like you're like, holy shit,
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm gonna like puke from how much
Speaker 3: I'm like shaking. So you could be like, all right, cool,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna take one of these and then I'll
Speaker 3: feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing is they tell you they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gonna start working in six weeks, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: who the fuck has six weeks?
Speaker 3: Right? It's it's And then sometimes what happens is after
Speaker 3: six weeks is up, You're like, well, fuck, I don't
Speaker 3: feel any different, so now I gotta shine new one.
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus Christ, I don't know. I I kind of
Speaker 2: talked about this to freaking death on this show. But
Speaker 2: it's like, I who knows, if you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: if I don't know if having a magic pill is
Speaker 2: going to fix everything. It's it's uh, it's a little
Speaker 2: bit of a balancing act. But what's your name again, Chudley, Chudley? Well,
Speaker 2: tell me about yourself, Chudley, what's going? Who are you?
Speaker 2: Who are you? Chudley?
Speaker 3: Well? I guess currently, I don't know how I describe myself.
Speaker 3: I work in and you are I want to go
Speaker 3: into medicine. I'm applying a medical school, so that's the plan,
Speaker 3: but my work kind of I don't know if you've
Speaker 3: ever worked a job or kind of been in like
Speaker 3: a field where you're like, this is what I want
Speaker 3: to get into. Like, I know you've talked about doing
Speaker 3: film and comedy, and then you actually see like the
Speaker 3: nitty gritty of it, like the I guess, for lack
Speaker 3: of better words, of blood and guts and you're like,
Speaker 3: oh fuck, it's just really what I'm cut out to do,
Speaker 3: Like am I really? Am I going to do this
Speaker 3: for the rest of my life? That's kind of where
Speaker 3: I'm at right now. It's not I know, I know
Speaker 3: you've been talking about like the existential dread a lot lately,
Speaker 3: but like it's that's how it feels. Unfortunately, I feel
Speaker 3: like that's the epitomy of kind of what I'm dealing
Speaker 3: with right now. I'm at like that weird liminal like
Speaker 3: do I keep going through this or do I just
Speaker 3: drop everything and do something completely different?
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, yeah, no you can, can't you You
Speaker 2: kind of can get it, get in your head an
Speaker 2: idea of like what a lifestyle is like, or of
Speaker 2: what a path is like, and then right you go
Speaker 2: and you actually see it and you're like, oh fuck,
Speaker 2: I didn't know I had to like actually do things.
Speaker 2: That's a fucking yeah bomber.
Speaker 3: It's it's crazy. I mean, I guess, specifically in the
Speaker 3: New York's I'm like, you're always seeing like the craziest
Speaker 3: shit that's like where you all the crazy stories, like
Speaker 3: I have so many stories, Like it's actually so funny.
Speaker 3: It's like all this crazy shit that you see all
Speaker 3: the time. But then also like some of the doctors
Speaker 3: and they just fucking hate themselves. They just hate their
Speaker 3: jobs and they like hate themselves. They just I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of those people get into those professions
Speaker 3: and then it's like something you get too far into
Speaker 3: and you're like, well, it's like kind of the sunk
Speaker 3: costs fallacy. You're like, fuck, I'm already too deep in.
Speaker 3: I just have to keep pushing through.
Speaker 2: Okay. It makes you feel like these people hate themselves.
Speaker 3: They speak so poorly of the job, just in the
Speaker 3: sense of like I'm like, you know, we have other people.
Speaker 3: I have worked with other people. I'm a scribe, so
Speaker 3: I'm like a glorified secretary. It's like you just write
Speaker 3: down everything. You're just a con conscientious like spectator. I
Speaker 3: don't touch anyone, I don't do anything. I'm just making
Speaker 3: the charts. So I'm like a quote unquote perspective like
Speaker 3: person for the field. So when I ask some of
Speaker 3: these doctors, I'm like, hey, like I'm super interested in
Speaker 3: doing this I've had people blade us like straight up
Speaker 3: just tell me, like no, don't do it, Like this sucks,
Speaker 3: Like do you see how tired I am? And you
Speaker 3: see like all the crazy shit that's going on, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna get any better, it's just getting worse. So
Speaker 3: they just have this like very distinct like oh man,
Speaker 3: it's like it's like a loading for themselves but also
Speaker 3: for the people around them. They just become horrible, horrible
Speaker 3: pieces of shit, which is like really it's really hard
Speaker 3: to see because you're like, this is my doctor, Like
Speaker 3: this is a potential person that I could see like
Speaker 3: when I'm in pain or like when I'm like suffering
Speaker 3: at my lowest, and they just hate themselves so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's.
Speaker 3: That's that's kind of a trippy thing to think about.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm only speaking for my like from
Speaker 3: where I'm at, so I don't know if that's more
Speaker 3: of a widespread kind of systemic thing, but I would
Speaker 3: assume everyone's got the same shit going on everywhere, so
Speaker 3: it's probably similar at different places.
Speaker 2: How old are these doctors? These are like you know
Speaker 2: like people in the like fifties and forties.
Speaker 3: No, you'd be surprised. Some of them are like I'm
Speaker 3: not like super privy to like exactly how old they are,
Speaker 3: but some of them are maybe mid thirties, early forties.
Speaker 3: Most of the older guys there that are like in
Speaker 3: their fifties, that kind of I feel like that's like
Speaker 3: what they wanted to do. But it's also, uh, maybe
Speaker 3: they kind of just swallow their pride and they're like
Speaker 3: fuck it whatever, Like I'm already doing this, And I
Speaker 3: hate to villainize the entire career because I feel like
Speaker 3: the way that I'm speaking about it is very like reductionary.
Speaker 3: Because then on the flip side, you have people who
Speaker 3: are super like altruistic, who like will go like spend
Speaker 3: thirty minutes with someone when they really only need to
Speaker 3: spend like five minutes with them. And that's like, you know,
Speaker 3: I can't speak to the entire profession, like I don't
Speaker 3: want to taint the entire fucking I'm just speaking from
Speaker 3: my own personal experiences and my grievances that I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: this sucks. Like we have a lot of people here
Speaker 3: who English isn't their first language, so that also comes
Speaker 3: into play a lot too, where a lot of these
Speaker 3: providers just become like super bitter. They're like, oh, you
Speaker 3: don't speak English, all right, cool, We're gonna see the
Speaker 3: next person. And I'm like, what the fuck, Like that's crazy,
Speaker 3: Like just because they don't speak you are English, It's
Speaker 3: like you're just gonna fucking skip him. Like it's not
Speaker 3: it's this crazy stuff that goes.
Speaker 2: On all of them that's really crazy. Yeah, And so
Speaker 2: you're a right now, you're a scribe and like all
Speaker 2: these people that you're seeing in the er who like
Speaker 2: fucking hate themselves, You're over here like, oh no, if
Speaker 2: I keep going down this road, I'm gonna turn into
Speaker 2: one of these people who hate themselves.
Speaker 3: That is one hundred percent my fear, Like currently as
Speaker 3: it stands, I'm like, that is my fear, Like I
Speaker 3: because I'm so I also see myself as like this
Speaker 3: naive like twenty four year old. I'm like, dude, I'm
Speaker 3: so like fresh and young, and I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna change the world, like I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: all these things, and but I don't know what I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be like twenty years from now. Like I talked
Speaker 3: to my deurpist about that all the time. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 3: this is like, that's my existential dread. That is what
Speaker 3: I'm so concerned about, is that the pressures of the
Speaker 3: job or whatever the other external factors are. These people
Speaker 3: might have just looked just like me when they were
Speaker 3: my age, but now twenty years down the line, they're
Speaker 3: like a completely different person because I spend you know,
Speaker 3: day and day out exposed to all this prap. So
Speaker 3: that's that's that's a big fear of mind for sure.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I don't know how to control that.
Speaker 3: There's no way that it's like trying to control the future.
Speaker 2: What did your therapists have to say about that? I'm curious.
Speaker 3: It's actually really interesting because I have I have two therapists,
Speaker 3: not because not for any particular reason, but I have
Speaker 3: the therapist that I've had for like the last like
Speaker 3: four years, and she's not covered by my insurance. But
Speaker 3: then the other one is, so I just have two
Speaker 3: by chance. But anyways, one of them goes down the
Speaker 3: physiological kind of logic behind it of like you know,
Speaker 3: once you get twenty five to twenty six, your brain
Speaker 3: kind of stops like making you neural pathways. So the
Speaker 3: person that you are at like twenty five twenty six
Speaker 3: is most likely the person that you're gonna be twenty
Speaker 3: thirty forty years down the line. It sucks, I know, right,
Speaker 3: that's like it's it's like fuck, Like well, okay, it's
Speaker 3: kind of puts you in a box. But then my
Speaker 3: other therapist kind of goes down this more like holistic
Speaker 3: like spiritual route of like, well, all of the experiences
Speaker 3: and everything that you've like lived throughout your life to
Speaker 3: get to where you are now, I have like made
Speaker 3: you the person that you are today, and that doesn't
Speaker 3: necessarily dictate what's going to happen twenty thirty years down
Speaker 3: the line because you have this like I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to speak like to my ego or anything, but I
Speaker 3: really do genuine genuinely feel like I'm a decent human being,
Speaker 3: Like I actually try to like go above and be
Speaker 3: hones specifically missetting, Like if someone a lot of the
Speaker 3: times we have Spanish speakers, I'm bilingual, so I'll try
Speaker 3: to help as much as possible, and I'm like spending
Speaker 3: extra time with them when I'm not supposed to be,
Speaker 3: like I've actually gotten in trouble for so spending more
Speaker 3: time with them, which I'm like, that's so stupid, Like
Speaker 3: why am I getting in trouble because I'm helping these people.
Speaker 3: So I say that because I agree with the holistic
Speaker 3: therapist kind of perspective of like if I don't want
Speaker 3: to become those people twenty forty whatever you years down
Speaker 3: the line, I won't because I'll just keep coming back
Speaker 3: to the crux of who I am. And they always
Speaker 3: speak about like you're developing your principles now, like what
Speaker 3: are your principles that you can't like certain things that
Speaker 3: you can't sway, those are going to be things that
Speaker 3: are going to be you know, further down the line,
Speaker 3: like I won't be able to compromise on these things,
Speaker 3: and then those are just going to dictate like your relationships,
Speaker 3: your workplace relationships, and then even just like your beliefs.
Speaker 3: Like so I don't know that's the I lean into
Speaker 3: that more. I hope that that's I stay true to
Speaker 3: who I am. So that's the plan. But yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I hate to get like all spiritual and deep with you.
Speaker 3: I feel like conversations.
Speaker 2: Get get spiritual and deep, get spiritual and deep, it's
Speaker 2: all it's. Yeah, that therapy gecko has has slowly become
Speaker 2: therapy for the gecko. So it's interesting to hear or
Speaker 2: hear other people's perspectives on these on these things. Yeah yeah, old,
Speaker 2: go ahead, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I was just gonna say that when I
Speaker 3: first started listening to you, it's actually really funny. It's
Speaker 3: a funny story that I'd always wanted to tell you.
Speaker 3: So I started listening to you in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: I think, and I was right. So I was kind
Speaker 3: of going through like a relationship breakup and then my dogs,
Speaker 3: both my dogs had just died, and I was like
Speaker 3: so distraught that I couldn't even listen to music. And
Speaker 3: I was like, dude, I have to do something, because
Speaker 3: every time I got to my car, I was like crying.
Speaker 3: And I literally was like, I think I was on
Speaker 3: TikTok or something. I saw you pop up and I
Speaker 3: was like, let me just listen to him, and you
Speaker 3: were literally the only thing that was like I don't
Speaker 3: know what it was like. I mean, you're awesome, You're fantastic,
Speaker 3: but like something about like hearing about other people's stories
Speaker 3: like was able to just calm me down. I was
Speaker 3: like saying, oh, my god, I'm so distraught about all
Speaker 3: this stuff, But somehow hearing about other people's plights kind
Speaker 3: of made me feel like, Okay, I'm not the only
Speaker 3: person in this world who's like, you know, suffering or
Speaker 3: feeling like shitty, like kind of like that collect of like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're all No one is perfect, like we're all kind
Speaker 3: of all in this together.
Speaker 2: So interesting.
Speaker 3: I retrospectively thank you for that, like recroactively for sure.
Speaker 2: For sure. It's funny because it's funny to hear you
Speaker 2: say that, because I've been yeah lately, for me to
Speaker 2: calm down, I listened. I like to listen to things
Speaker 2: that have like nothing to do with real life, Like
Speaker 2: I'm listening to I'm listening to a lot of old
Speaker 2: come down episodes. I'm listening to a lot of like
Speaker 2: ranking all of the appearances of Walla Oigi and the
Speaker 2: Mario Party games, like just ship that has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with anything. It's interesting. I guess it's interesting to
Speaker 2: me that when you're feeling down, you want to listen
Speaker 2: to other people other things that are like life y,
Speaker 2: you know, because it feel less alone. Yeah, instead of
Speaker 2: like dround, instead of just like tuning completely out.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, No, I don't know. I don't. I wonder
Speaker 3: if it's like feeding, Like sometimes I feel kind of
Speaker 3: like weird about it. I'm like, am I feeding it?
Speaker 3: Kind of like what you spoke about a couple episodes ago.
Speaker 3: You were like, oh, if I'm like constantly telling myself
Speaker 3: that I'm like depressed, or if I have these things,
Speaker 3: then it's just going to become the identity that I live.
Speaker 3: That's like sometimes my concern is, I'm like, if I
Speaker 3: keep listening to this, am I just going to keep
Speaker 3: reinforcing these thought patterns? But then you also the all
Speaker 3: on the flip side of it too. I feel like
Speaker 3: you also have that self awareness to know like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm already thinking about this, so it can't be my
Speaker 3: reality because I know both sides right now, so I
Speaker 3: can kind of like stop it. I know. It's like
Speaker 3: you can split hairs. You can just split hairs intimately
Speaker 3: with this, it's it's yeah, so yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 3: try not to do that, and then I just I
Speaker 3: do something like you said, like I watch all it,
Speaker 3: I'll watch old episodes come down, or I'll do like
Speaker 3: what else do I watch? Watch? Kso I feel like
Speaker 3: that it's kind of like brand dead content. You just
Speaker 3: kind of like tearing your brain off. He's just like,
Speaker 3: oh man, so.
Speaker 2: What was I gonna say to you? Yeah, I guess yeah.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I feel that way too, where I'm thinking, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: how do I don't want to hate myself in twenty years.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty young, and I'm like, what decisions do I
Speaker 2: need to make today? And as the days go on
Speaker 2: to uh make it so that I don't I don't
Speaker 2: hate myself. I see a lot of lately. I don't
Speaker 2: know if I talked about this on the podcast slightly,
Speaker 2: but I've been meeting a lot of like old people,
Speaker 2: like older people who are happy. This isn't meeting. But
Speaker 2: I hung out with my dad. My dad is sixty six,
Speaker 2: and I hung out with him the other week. I
Speaker 2: hung out with him and my uncle, and my dad
Speaker 2: is like talking with my uncle about TV shows and
Speaker 2: he's joking around and he he's making you know, he's
Speaker 2: just like happy. He's just like seemed happy and calm
Speaker 2: and he's in the moment, you know. And I thought
Speaker 2: that was And then I hung out with like my
Speaker 2: friend's dad and he was making jokes and happy and
Speaker 2: calm and in the moment. And it's funny because my dad,
Speaker 2: my friend's dad. These people like they like I'm sitting
Speaker 2: I'm twenty seven. I'm sitting over here like having a
Speaker 2: existential dread and like afraid I'm gonna about like you know,
Speaker 2: death or whatever. And it's like these older people that
Speaker 2: I'm meeting. I met this guy in an Uber He
Speaker 2: was my Uber driver and he was like sixty something
Speaker 2: and I was just and he was talking to me
Speaker 2: about how he's been driving Uber for thirty five years
Speaker 2: and how he has like a thirty two year old
Speaker 2: son and a thirty year old daughter and they all
Speaker 2: live together and he's like just very happy. He was
Speaker 2: just talking to this very like happy guy about his
Speaker 2: family and his life. And it's funny because all these
Speaker 2: guys are like way closer to death than I am,
Speaker 2: and they have way less fucking anxiety. Like they're just
Speaker 2: like they're these these like they're present, they're calm, they're chilling,
Speaker 2: they're living their lives. And I'm like, uh hm, how
Speaker 2: does how did they get there where they're just like chilling?
Speaker 2: How do people get to that? Cause it is like
Speaker 2: being alive, being alive. Being conscious is tremendously if you
Speaker 2: from a certain point of view, and in the point
Speaker 2: of view that I think I've been like kind of
Speaker 2: locked into for the past couple of months, is that
Speaker 2: like being alive is like a tremendously frightening thing, and
Speaker 2: yet we live in a world where people are able
Speaker 2: to just kind of handle it and be okay and
Speaker 2: watch The Bachelor and you know, take a shit and
Speaker 2: like be everything, like be normal and calm, which I
Speaker 2: think is actually the what you're supposed to do is
Speaker 2: just be normal and calm. I don't know, I don't
Speaker 2: know how people get that. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's like a medication thing. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's a lifestyle thing. I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's I don't know if some people just have it
Speaker 2: and some people don't. But yeah, yeah, you know what's.
Speaker 3: I it's so interesting that you say that, because I
Speaker 3: was thinking about that a lot. I kind of grapple
Speaker 3: with mortality all the time too, about thinking exactly what
Speaker 3: you're talking about, like especially in e or because you
Speaker 3: see people just die all the time, right, But it's
Speaker 3: so strange because you're, yeah, what you're saying too about
Speaker 3: like I feel like the people who see there like
Speaker 3: semi five and I'm like usually older, they're so calm,
Speaker 3: and you know what the biggest I don't know because
Speaker 3: this is a super antidotal I have no like hard
Speaker 3: facts to back this, but it's like the support system
Speaker 3: kind of like you're talking about with your dad and
Speaker 3: your uncle, and I feel like they probably have a
Speaker 3: good support system. They probably have like a networking of
Speaker 3: you know, they're always talking to people. When you see
Speaker 3: like families that have like you know, they come in
Speaker 3: with their like ninety five year old grandma and she's
Speaker 3: like just talking. She's super witty, she's super sharp, she's
Speaker 3: usually just like lives on her own own, loves other people.
Speaker 3: But it's just that I feel like it's that support system.
Speaker 3: It's like you're able to like talk to someone on
Speaker 3: a daily basis, and then you can people who come
Speaker 3: in who are like sixty and they're like homeless unfortunately,
Speaker 3: and they haven't talked to anyone in like a long
Speaker 3: time or whatever, and they're just in these horrible, horrible conditions.
Speaker 3: So I feel like it's just there's that like social somatic,
Speaker 3: like you know, you have like access to like exactly
Speaker 3: what you're talking about. So I don't know, that's that's
Speaker 3: just kind of my guest. I do agree. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think maybe it is the family stuff, maybe these
Speaker 3: the lifestyle stuff, but I yeah, I don't know. It's
Speaker 3: I always wonder that too, because I'm.
Speaker 2: Like you, like, you're one hundred percent right. It's a
Speaker 2: fucking I think it's like a community thing and a
Speaker 2: social support thing. Yeah, you know, and yeah, we like
Speaker 2: the modern world is like a little it's the modern
Speaker 2: world is very not conducive to that, and so you
Speaker 2: kind of have to go out of your way to
Speaker 2: figure out how to create that. If you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of people are lucky enough that like community and
Speaker 2: support systems are just like just kind of naturally occur
Speaker 2: in their life through whatever it is they chose to
Speaker 2: do for a living, or if they chose to have
Speaker 2: a family or you know whatever. Some people aren't as
Speaker 2: lucky and they did shit doesn't naturally occur and they
Speaker 2: have to kind of go out and chase it and
Speaker 2: look for it. But yeah, it's what you know. What's
Speaker 2: funny is, Yeah, the modern world, I think it has
Speaker 2: created a thing where it's been yeah, sure, isolating, but
Speaker 2: it also conversely has given us a lot of tools
Speaker 2: to break out of isolation. And yeah, I've talked about this.
Speaker 2: I think I've been talking about the same three things
Speaker 2: on this podcast for the past month.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know that they're they're they're the
Speaker 2: they're the frequent things on my fucking mind. I you know,
Speaker 2: it would be awesome because I hope somebody I don't know,
Speaker 2: I hope maybe somebody listening to the who listens to
Speaker 2: this podcast right early is like taking whatever, these same
Speaker 2: three fucking things I'm talking about on the podcast, and
Speaker 2: you maybe I get an email from them and they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I took those I took those three things you were
Speaker 2: talking about on the podcast, and I made these changes
Speaker 2: and I did these things, and now my life is different,
Speaker 2: and I'll look at it and be like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: I should do that too.
Speaker 3: You know that you can make the therapy get go,
Speaker 3: like you could sell like a masterclass. You could do
Speaker 3: like one of these classes.
Speaker 2: I would feel like.
Speaker 3: I'm going to facilitate your life.
Speaker 2: No, I would feel extreme. I think I'd feel extremely
Speaker 2: uncomfortable doing like, uh something like that. Now, I feel
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable doing something like that, although it is fun,
Speaker 2: like coaching is fun because you don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2: You just have to tell the people what to do.
Speaker 2: It's way easier.
Speaker 3: Like when have you ever heard of a client telling
Speaker 3: a personal coach that they're fucking up their life? Like,
Speaker 3: I feel like that's not You could just tell you
Speaker 3: could tell them whatever you want. They'd be like, okay, cool, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. And then if it's not happen.
Speaker 2: No, there will There will never be a therapy Gecko course.
Speaker 2: If you saw I think, I think I think that
Speaker 2: you should you should have public You should have public
Speaker 2: photos of the quality of your room first before you
Speaker 2: sell a course, you know what I mean? Like, I
Speaker 2: think if if people saw all the empty water bottles
Speaker 2: and half filled diet mountain dew all over my fucking apartment,
Speaker 2: they would they would not consider buying a course from me.
Speaker 3: That's what the field of psychiatry says, is like a
Speaker 3: bedroom is a window into someone's mind, is what they say.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's true though, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't tell don't open that diamountain dew and look inside,
Speaker 2: because it'll show.
Speaker 3: You some.
Speaker 2: What's your name again, Chudley, Chudley, Chudley. It was nice
Speaker 2: talking to you. I hope you find whatever the fuck
Speaker 2: you're looking for in this crazy world.
Speaker 3: Before we leave, can I tell you one er story
Speaker 3: because that was just I just wanted to tell you
Speaker 3: something funny to even out the spirituality of a fifth Yeah. So,
Speaker 3: I mean you probably know people people put stuff in there,
Speaker 3: but it happens pretty frequently. I think any orifice someone has,
Speaker 3: he can do that. So we've had a we've had
Speaker 3: a unnamed gentleman come in several times because he's gotten
Speaker 3: something stuck in his butt. The first time it was
Speaker 3: a brute shaving cream bottle. I don't know if you're
Speaker 3: familiar with those. Like it's like a green bottle with
Speaker 3: a very long stem. It's it's pretty sizable, Like when
Speaker 3: you see it on the X You're like, how the
Speaker 3: fuck did he get? Like I had no I had
Speaker 3: no idea, and he walked in totally normal. You could
Speaker 3: have just seen this guy walk down the sidewalk and
Speaker 3: you would not have known that. He comes in says
Speaker 3: that he tripped and fell and that it went up
Speaker 3: his butt. They're like, all right, we're not going to
Speaker 3: question you anymore. And then like a couple of weeks later,
Speaker 3: dude comes back in samem and this time it was
Speaker 3: a like a Suave shampoo bottle, which was like almost
Speaker 3: twice the size of this thing. And even then den
Speaker 3: I and I deny. He was like, I think a
Speaker 3: friend put it up here, like I'm not sure how
Speaker 3: I got up there, and that one was so far
Speaker 3: that he actually had to get surgery to get that
Speaker 3: one out. So and that that happens all the time.
Speaker 3: You see, I've seen a dude put a glass weed
Speaker 3: pipe up his butt and then he sat down and
Speaker 3: broke I've seen, Yeah, that one was horrible too. And
Speaker 3: now when he also said a friend, they never I
Speaker 3: get it. I understand it's a very vulnerable. They're trying
Speaker 3: to help you, but I'm like, you really, like you're
Speaker 3: in this position, you don't want to just mess up
Speaker 3: to it, Like I get it. But he's like, no, man,
Speaker 3: like someone I was asleep and someone put it in
Speaker 3: my butt and like I just I didn't know. I
Speaker 3: just didn't wake up.
Speaker 2: No, at that point, it's like, you know, I put
Speaker 2: this in my ass, Sorry that you have to now be.
Speaker 3: Here that Yeah, Now I get it. I'm just like,
Speaker 3: I get it, dude, I get it. Like, but just
Speaker 3: come on, dude, tarrott. We've seen that. We've seen a
Speaker 3: couple of vegetables.
Speaker 2: Carrot's Carrot's not that bad. Those are biodegradable, right, right,
Speaker 2: you do with the carrot after you take it out
Speaker 2: of a guy's ass.
Speaker 3: That's a very good question because I asked after the
Speaker 3: shampoo bottle and the shaving cream, I was like, did
Speaker 3: you give it back to him? Because it was full.
Speaker 3: You could see in the extra that there was still
Speaker 3: like a pat like there was still something in it,
Speaker 3: Like it wasn't just the bottle. They take it. They
Speaker 3: it's considered bio it's considered a bio hazard, and they
Speaker 3: throw it away. Yeah, so you don't get to keep
Speaker 3: any of that, you know, even if you get like
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever heard this, but if
Speaker 3: you get your leg cut off, your arm cut off,
Speaker 3: you don't get to keep it. They like, if you
Speaker 3: keep it, or if you try to keep it, it's
Speaker 3: a crime. I don't remember what the exact crime is,
Speaker 3: but they will like literally just throw it away, and
Speaker 3: you can't you can't trust it. Yeah, sometimes even your teeth.
Speaker 3: Sometimes some like I don't know what it is with
Speaker 3: certain gental procedures, but you're not even allowed to keep
Speaker 3: your your own teeth, which is the craziest thing to me.
Speaker 2: But where is there just like a band in the
Speaker 2: hospital or like they just didn't have a bunch of legs.
Speaker 3: I mean, at least at ours. I don't know if
Speaker 3: we have like incinerators and shit, I don't really. I
Speaker 3: don't think we do imputations at my hospital's pretty small.
Speaker 3: But when they do, I'm pretty sure they just throwing
Speaker 3: it anerator and it's just from dust to dirt, like
Speaker 3: you go back to the earth, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Or sometimes there's a whole other rabbit hole they have
Speaker 3: that illegal body exchange. They have like this whole black market.
Speaker 3: Barvard got in trouble for it recently for selling cadavers
Speaker 3: like dead people to like the military and too like
Speaker 3: other unfacilitated like medical facilities. They were making stupid money
Speaker 3: off of it. It was crazy. They were just taking
Speaker 3: dead people and just selling them for like hundreds of
Speaker 3: hundreds of dollars, like it was the nuttiest thing to
Speaker 3: think about.
Speaker 2: So well, look when I die, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to need my arms and legs anymore,
Speaker 2: so you can take them. Anyone can have them if
Speaker 2: they want them.
Speaker 3: I want to be stopped to about I don't know,
Speaker 3: fifty to one hundred pounds of fireworks, and I just
Speaker 3: want to be placed in like a public setting. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I launched off as fireworks. Yeah, yeah, that's the way
Speaker 3: I want to go.
Speaker 2: What's your name again, sir Chedley? Chedley? Is there anything
Speaker 2: else you want to say to the people of the
Speaker 2: computer before we go.
Speaker 3: If you ever go to the emergency room and you
Speaker 3: want to be seen super fast, this is so unethical,
Speaker 3: But if you really do want to be seen really fast,
Speaker 3: tell them you can't breathe, or tell them that you
Speaker 3: have cardiac history and you will be seeing a shap
Speaker 3: even if it's a bullshit complaint. But you did not
Speaker 3: hear that from me.
Speaker 2: Pretty good, Pretty good. I'm glad somebody got something out
Speaker 2: of this podcast.
Speaker 3: Hopefully, Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 2: So take care of Chedley. Thank you?
Speaker 3: Thanks Jack.

Speaker 2: to get like, oh, do I do you have like
Speaker 2: PTO or something?

Speaker 2: of work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the funny thing is I still went to work, attempted.
Speaker 2: To call out. You attempted to call out of work,
Speaker 2: and so then they got mad at you for trying
Speaker 2: to call out of work, so they docked your pay
Speaker 2: because you tried to call out of work.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was a messy argument, and then I just threw
Speaker 5: in the towel, was like, okay, fine, I'll go and yeah,
Speaker 5: that's rough.
Speaker 2: Are you still with your girlfriends?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've been together coming up six years.

Speaker 2: your side with this? Or is she like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: fucked up?
Speaker 3: I don't know. She's kind of in between.
Speaker 5: She's like, it's you know, your fault because it would
Speaker 5: have never happened. But she agrees that it's stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what kind of job are you trying to get
Speaker 2: outside of this?
Speaker 5: Well, that's what I'm on the sense on her now.
Speaker 5: The plan was to go into plumbing, and but no
Speaker 5: plumbing apprenticeships are hitting me back. I don't know if
Speaker 5: I should like try to, you know, get like a
Speaker 5: serving job and just wait up the summer, or I
Speaker 5: have no idea. I'm living on an island right now.
Speaker 2: You live on an island? What islands?
Speaker 5: Tybee Island?
Speaker 2: Tybee Island. I'm gonna okay, wait, I'm gonna fucking we're
Speaker 2: pulling out the maps. We're pulling out maps.

Speaker 2: Okay? What is it called?
Speaker 5: Tybee Island?
Speaker 2: Ruh t y b e Tybee Island? Georgia. Oh shit,
Speaker 2: I don't know Georgia had a fucking island. Oh shit, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, okay, yeah, yeah, all right, you're right outside
Speaker 2: of Savannah. Hold on, oh it's really an island. Is
Speaker 2: this really an island? This isn't really an island. There's
Speaker 2: like a it's connected to land, right.
Speaker 1: Well, it appears that way, but when the tide comes up,
Speaker 1: you can only get to the island through the man
Speaker 1: made road.
Speaker 2: Is this like I've never heard of this fucking place?
Speaker 2: This is interesting. Is this like a like a beach
Speaker 2: town where people who like Savannah folks like go to
Speaker 2: fucking go on vacation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: People from all over the world actually end up here
Speaker 5: amid a lot of crazy people.
Speaker 2: Cool. Are you trying to stay on Tybee Island?
Speaker 5: I'm staying till September. It's really expensive to live out here,
Speaker 5: so we're gonna move into Savannah.
Speaker 2: So Tybee Island is more expensive than Savannah, like living
Speaker 2: in the proper city.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, much more expensive. It's like dominated by short
Speaker 5: term vacation rentals. So the housing market's pretty rough.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting. How's what's the cost of living like in Savannah?
Speaker 5: It's I mean, it's uh, it's not terrible. It's hard
Speaker 5: to find a good place because of you know, it's
Speaker 5: like a college stun and all that. But you can
Speaker 5: find a good spot if you if you wait around
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 2: You live on an island in Georgia. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: if you're thinking about going into the service industry, I'll
Speaker 2: say this. I mean, I've never been a waiter, a
Speaker 2: bartender or anything like that by friends who have, and uh,
Speaker 2: I mean if you're doing it for a summer. I
Speaker 2: have a friend he was he fucking like hated his
Speaker 2: life and his job and everything, and he moved to
Speaker 2: Rehoboth Beach to be a server over there, and now
Speaker 2: he's like killing it. He has all these like fucking
Speaker 2: other like server friends, and he's like in the whole
Speaker 2: restaurant industry and the community and whatnot. So I don't
Speaker 2: have firsthand experience being a server at a like in
Speaker 2: a beach town or whatever, but uh, it's what are
Speaker 2: you doing now? You're scraping grout off of a yeah,
Speaker 2: a tile off a tile. I mean, I look, I
Speaker 2: don't know what kind of person you are. I don't
Speaker 2: know what what makes you tick, but like, at least
Speaker 2: I guess with the service. With the service industry stuff,
Speaker 2: like you get to be like people facing. You know,
Speaker 2: there's you're working with other folks, you're outside of the
Speaker 2: closed knit of your girlfriend's parents and ship.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I feel like if you're in, if you want like, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to be a little rascal,
Speaker 2: that's the better place to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, my boss is pulling up right now. Nice talking
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 3: I will call it suck.
Speaker 2: Too, all right, cool man, Well, good luck, good luck
Speaker 2: with whatever you choose to do.
Speaker 5: Thank you all.
Speaker 2: Take care, Broye. I don't know. I'm not. I haven't.
Speaker 2: I never worked as a bartender, but I fucking every
Speaker 2: once in all here in New York. Every once in
Speaker 2: a while, when I get bored, I volunteer at my
Speaker 2: friend's comedy club. Shout out Sesh comedy. Every once in
Speaker 2: a while, when I get bored, I go down there
Speaker 2: and I'll sling I'll sling beers for him, and it's
Speaker 2: it's it's kind of fun to like like have a
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so funny because that's what I do
Speaker 2: with this podcast. But it's kind of fun to have
Speaker 2: like forced social interaction where like people have to talk
Speaker 2: to you and you know, the parameters of the social
Speaker 2: interaction are predetermined, and it's like it's good to have
Speaker 2: something to do with your fucking hands, right like after
Speaker 2: living in like the crazy abyss. Just having someone be like, hello,
Speaker 2: I would like to buy a beer and I go, hey, man,
Speaker 2: how you doing? I'm doing good? Can I get this beer?
Speaker 2: And I go yes? And then I go and I
Speaker 2: get them the beer and they go thanks. Something about
Speaker 2: that that felt very makes you feel present in what
Speaker 2: you're doing. I guess that's why fucking diner dash is
Speaker 2: so popular. I don't know, I don't know what I'm
Speaker 2: fucking talking about, but uh yeah, it's fun. It's it's
Speaker 2: a it's a fun thing. I think. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it sounds it's about if if like if you have
Speaker 2: to like get like a you know, if you need
Speaker 2: a gig. I feel like that's probably better than like,
Speaker 2: you know, working out in a in a field or
Speaker 2: anything like that. Just to be around some people. Hello, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 2: what's your name?
Speaker 3: My name is Billy, Billy.
Speaker 2: What's up, Billy? How you doing? How's life?

Speaker 2: Moment, Oh, yeah, tax season's coming up. Tax Season's coming up.
Speaker 6: It is I'm very nervous. It's the first time I'm
Speaker 6: I'm doing it. But I have a I have a
Speaker 6: couple of things that I want.
Speaker 3: To talk to you about.
Speaker 2: If that's okay, Yeah, let's do it. Hit me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have we can we can either go
Speaker 6: with So I used to be a bouncer on Broadway
Speaker 6: in Nashville, and I have some interesting stories that I
Speaker 6: could tell you, or or I am starting a I
Speaker 6: can tell you about. I'm starting a touring fan activations company,
Speaker 6: like a touring fan engagement company like go on the
Speaker 6: road with different artists and stuff.
Speaker 2: A touring fan activation company. Well, let's do the self
Speaker 2: promo at the end. Well, yeah, go ahead. Do you
Speaker 2: have a story about Yeah, working at nash working on Broadway, Broadway,
Speaker 2: I do, I have a place. Yeah, I'm curious what
Speaker 2: kind of characters you run into.
Speaker 6: So I'm not going to mention the bar that I
Speaker 6: used to work at. But I used to work night
Speaker 6: shifts and I used to go in starting at like
Speaker 6: five thirty and then I'd go and work until like
Speaker 6: three in the morning, and then I have to walk
Speaker 6: to walk back to this really sketchy parking garage. I
Speaker 6: mean it wasn't sketchy, but it's like a couple of
Speaker 6: blocks away and you got to walk past like some
Speaker 6: people that are are out at three in the morning,
Speaker 6: and I'd rather not do that, So I don't work
Speaker 6: there anymore. But there was I'll tell you one story.
Speaker 6: So we ended up. It was one of my first
Speaker 6: days there, and one of there was it was late
Speaker 6: at night and one of the there were some girls
Speaker 6: coming in and so I'm standing at the front door
Speaker 6: at this place and then my coworker, who is also
Speaker 6: a bouncer, was standing next to me, and there are
Speaker 6: these girls that are coming in and she just pulls
Speaker 6: something out of her purse and just hands it to
Speaker 6: him and just says and I'm like, okay, you know
Speaker 6: what the fuck's going on here? And he's just like,
Speaker 6: he tells me the story, He looks at it, it tells
Speaker 6: me a story later about what it is, and he's like,
Speaker 6: she just handed me a picture of her, like a
Speaker 6: photo booth reel of her topless and just walked away,
Speaker 6: and like she didn't even leave him her number or anything.
Speaker 3: But it's just like.
Speaker 6: Full titties and everything, and like didn't even didn't even
Speaker 6: go and try to do anything afterwards. It was just
Speaker 6: like like why are you giving me this here? And
Speaker 6: then also it's just like my my thought, it was
Speaker 6: just like do you just walk around with pictures of yourself?
Speaker 6: Just do you just carry that in your purse and
Speaker 6: just walking around and like hand them out to people?
Speaker 6: Like I don't even think she was probably most likely
Speaker 6: a Taurus. Like there was no she didn't even write
Speaker 6: any like OnlyFans or anything on there. It was just
Speaker 6: it was it was there.
Speaker 2: But I don't I respect that she's doing it for
Speaker 2: the love of the game.
Speaker 6: She definitely of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then also it's kind of like, uh, like how
Speaker 2: the Joker leaves his like calling card, you know, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's a little like that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a little action.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have that. What else was there? So
Speaker 6: a co worker was walking back to the parking garage
Speaker 6: at three in the morning, well late at night, and
Speaker 6: some random dudes followed him and like jumped in, like
Speaker 6: almost jumped them. They pulled up in a van and
Speaker 6: almost got out and you know, said hey, get in
Speaker 6: the van, but he ended up running and just diving
Speaker 6: into one of the the parking garages and they were
Speaker 6: chasing after him and stuff. But you know, it comes,
Speaker 6: it comes with the territory and in being Internashville, I guess.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, but.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so there's there's that, And I'm trying to think
Speaker 6: of some other interesting stories at this particular bar that
Speaker 6: I worked at, So I don't I don't particularly drink alcohol,
Speaker 6: how I were at the At the bar that I
Speaker 6: worked at, they would give you a free shift drink,
Speaker 6: free shift drink after each each shift, so you get
Speaker 6: done at three in the morning and then you get
Speaker 6: a free beer and whatever. And it's just I don't know,
Speaker 6: it's not particularly my thing, like it might be some people's,
Speaker 6: it's not mine. But I don't know, I have something.
Speaker 6: I can't think of any other interesting interesting stories from there.
Speaker 2: But did you ever get any fights? Did you ever
Speaker 2: get fucked up? Oh?
Speaker 6: I had a couple of people try to fight me,
Speaker 6: like and it was mostly and two evers listening to
Speaker 6: this like nothing against Irish people, like I might you know,
Speaker 6: it's I I'm got to I'm so fortunate I got
Speaker 6: to meet like everyone from all across the world like
Speaker 6: I got to meet some dude from Japan who didn't
Speaker 6: even speak English, like it was so cool, you know,
Speaker 6: I met people from Russia and whatever like, but the
Speaker 6: only people that have ever tried to fight me were
Speaker 6: from Ireland, like not even halfway drunk people either they're
Speaker 6: just like pissed that they couldn't get in or or whatever,
Speaker 6: or maybe they are like drunk or whatever. They just
Speaker 6: did only people And this is this could be stereotype.
Speaker 6: I'm not not at all trying to stereotype, but the
Speaker 6: only people who have ever tried to fight me on
Speaker 6: Broadway are people of Irish descent. But there's there's We're
Speaker 6: also some really cool Irish people.
Speaker 2: What's your build? Like are you are you pretty jacked?
Speaker 2: Were you able to like if somebody did like step
Speaker 2: up to you, would you have been able to handle
Speaker 2: the situation?
Speaker 6: So that's the crazy thing. Like, so, well, to answer
Speaker 6: your question, now, I'm not like particularly jacked. I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm fit and I've I've done martial arts, so like
Speaker 6: I can handle myself, which is the only reason why
Speaker 6: I decided to even.
Speaker 3: Take the job.
Speaker 6: I mean because of that, and I just couldn't find
Speaker 6: a job. But no, the thing was that legally you
Speaker 6: can't even fight You can't even fight them. It's like
Speaker 6: you can't at this particular bar. We we didn't have
Speaker 6: any earpieces or any communication whatsoever, and like legally you
Speaker 6: can't like physically escort them out out of the bar.
Speaker 6: So they're already drunk, they're in a very loud environment,
Speaker 6: and you know, you can't you can't really do anything
Speaker 6: about it, which is so interesting, and it doesn't help
Speaker 6: with people like trying to, you know, trying to pick
Speaker 6: fights either, because because you know, you just yell at people,
Speaker 6: say hey, get out here, and like what are what
Speaker 6: are they going to do? Like they're they're they're already
Speaker 6: on vacation, having a good time whatever, which like there's
Speaker 6: absolutely nothing wrong with that. I love that, you know,
Speaker 6: I love to see people smile and have a good
Speaker 6: time and whatever. But when it comes to the point
Speaker 6: where you're just like being rowdy and whatever, and I
Speaker 6: don't know, but yeah, that's the thing. We can't even
Speaker 6: we couldn't even physically escort people out of like off
Speaker 6: the premises, and since we didn't have any communication, we
Speaker 6: couldn't really call anybody to help us either. And luckily
Speaker 6: I didn't run into a whole lot of terrible situations
Speaker 6: like that, but it was there were there were times
Speaker 6: where it was like really close. Like there was this
Speaker 6: lady one time where it was her and her husband
Speaker 6: and they were just they were being obnoxious and she
Speaker 6: was just kept blowing a bubble gun inside of the
Speaker 6: place that I worked at. I'm like, no, no, we
Speaker 6: can't keep doing this, and her husband got pissed, and
Speaker 6: you know, I just kept I kept saying, okay, well,
Speaker 6: you know, we need to get you out of here,
Speaker 6: like come on, come follow me, and they wouldn't listen.
Speaker 6: So I had to go and find I had to
Speaker 6: leave the door and go find the coworker and say, hey,
Speaker 6: we need to get these people out of here. But
Speaker 6: I don't know, it was it was. It was an
Speaker 6: interesting job, like I got to see and meet some
Speaker 6: really cool people. Aside from like patrons, we would have
Speaker 6: people come in who had just played The Ryman. For
Speaker 6: anyone that doesn't know the Ryman Auditorium is, it's right downtown.
Speaker 6: It's one of the most famous venues in Nashville and
Speaker 6: in country particularly. But we had a lot of interesting
Speaker 6: people just come in from the Ryman and then from
Speaker 6: you know, from from that that area after they got
Speaker 6: done playing the shows, to either just come hang out
Speaker 6: or if they wanted to do an extra set or whatever.
Speaker 6: Then it was interesting to see, like it was a
Speaker 6: really fun job, but just not one that I care
Speaker 6: to have anymore. It's just too dangerous. Got to get
Speaker 6: you for me what you do now?
Speaker 3: So I do a.
Speaker 6: Lot of things, which is why I'm I'm working on tactics.
Speaker 6: I do a lot of independent contract work, so I
Speaker 6: I can't say too much, but I'm I'm an assistant
Speaker 6: to an artist and we're working on a couple of things,
Speaker 6: and that's all. That's all. I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 2: You work for ken, don't you.
Speaker 6: It's always you know, I would love to work for
Speaker 6: Kendrick honestly, like he's I love him as a lyricist.
Speaker 2: When like somewhere somewhere along the line, when you say artist,
Speaker 2: you mean a musician, right, yes, when did somewhere along
Speaker 2: the line, I don't know, Like we used to it
Speaker 2: used to just be like rapper or like singer songwriter
Speaker 2: or like DJ or whatever. But now and like when
Speaker 2: you when you thought of artist, you always it would
Speaker 2: always come to mind, like, uh, like someone who makes
Speaker 2: like visual art. And now artists like a type yea, yeah,
Speaker 2: like a ball Bross type. And that was kind of
Speaker 2: what it meant up until I swear on my life,
Speaker 2: like in the last like five years. Artist Now now
Speaker 2: artists more often than not means a musician of some kind,
Speaker 2: like it used to mean, like when you said an artist,
Speaker 2: you thought like a Pablo Picasso or like a fucking
Speaker 2: like someone who makes like like a physical art of
Speaker 2: some kind. But now now it almost unanimously goes to
Speaker 2: mean a musician of some kind. Why do you think,
Speaker 2: why do you think that switch happened?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna you know what. You may hate me
Speaker 6: for this, but I'm going to turn the question back
Speaker 6: on you. Since like art, do comedians consider themselves artists?
Speaker 6: Because it kind of is an art form, It most
Speaker 6: definitely is an art form.
Speaker 2: No, comedians do not consider themselves artists, and uh if
Speaker 2: they did, they would get made fun of.
Speaker 6: Okay, I could see that, all right, Yeah, But to
Speaker 6: answer your question, you know, I don't know, I I
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know when that would would That's
Speaker 6: an interesting point, like when would it have turned from
Speaker 6: like Hey, I'm just a performer to you know, being
Speaker 6: an artist, but I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's that's interesting. I never really thought about it that way.
Speaker 3: That's cool though.
Speaker 2: So you do what do you What is it that
Speaker 2: you were saying earlier? You do like a thing with
Speaker 2: touring with the people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well yeah, so I'm starting a touring fan engagement company.
Speaker 6: Because when I say I, the term is activations, So
Speaker 6: which is which I'm gonna I'm gonna rephrase it to
Speaker 6: fan engagement because it just means it's just easier to explain.
Speaker 2: So an activation is when like the Monster Energy truck
Speaker 2: comes to campus then gives out monster energy.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly.
Speaker 6: And the reason why I phrase it like that is that,
Speaker 6: you know, people when I go to explain it, like
Speaker 6: people don't understand what it is, and that like I
Speaker 6: didn't understand what it is. I didn't come into this
Speaker 6: understanding like, hey, this is what an activation is. Like
Speaker 6: I had to be explained to something. Like I sat
Speaker 6: down with someone and they were just like, oh, well,
Speaker 6: you're looking to do activations and like what the hell
Speaker 6: is an activation? And so I was just looking it up.
Speaker 6: So yeah, so I'm starting a company where I am
Speaker 6: going the ideas to go on tour with different artists
Speaker 6: and to interact with their general admission fans through just
Speaker 6: different activations, like different games, different surprise merch giveaways, you know,
Speaker 6: just different interesting, like cool things, and it's all curated
Speaker 6: like directly to the artists and their fan base because
Speaker 6: they're not going to you know, you're not going to
Speaker 6: be interacting with let's say, Jimmy Buffett's fans. You're not
Speaker 6: going to be interacting with his fans the same way
Speaker 6: that you would with like I don't know, like I
Speaker 6: don't know, Pink Floyds fans or whatever like something like that.
Speaker 6: So it's all curated directly to the artists and their
Speaker 6: fan bases to like what they want to do. And
Speaker 6: it's all pre show. It's it's pre show because you
Speaker 6: have to think about it, like you have doors that
Speaker 6: open typically like so you as I don't know if
Speaker 6: this is how it works for comedy, but like for artists,
Speaker 6: typically they'll get in you know, around like an hour
Speaker 6: or two, a couple hours before doors open so that
Speaker 6: they can go in for sound check and set up
Speaker 6: and do everything. And but doors will open at like
Speaker 6: let's say the show's at eight. Doors will open at six,
Speaker 6: so they they all have from six until eight o'clock
Speaker 6: to either find their seat, to sit and figure out
Speaker 6: what they're doing, and then you know, you find your seat.
Speaker 6: And I'm not necessarily an anti social person, but I'm like,
Speaker 6: I don't want to talk to the person that I'm
Speaker 6: sitting next to if I can come with them. But so,
Speaker 6: like you have, there's there's a missed marketing opportunity in
Speaker 6: my opinion, to where you can just get two hours
Speaker 6: of you know, and not you have two hours that
Speaker 6: you're missing in between when doors open and then when
Speaker 6: the actually show actually start marketing.
Speaker 2: What are we what are we supposed to market?
Speaker 6: It's well, I mean it's not necessarily it's marketing in
Speaker 6: the sense that you are just strengthening your fan base.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying you like this totally. I promise you.
Speaker 6: This is not a pitch, Like I just wanted to
Speaker 6: come here and just explain it the like you're it
Speaker 6: would be your fan base, your your marketing. Like let's
Speaker 6: say you have an album release and whatever, and you're
Speaker 6: you're solely doing something for the album release, like a
Speaker 6: I don't know, you have like a song or something
Speaker 6: that you really want to push, but it's it's kind
Speaker 6: of you know, you're really trying to get it out there.
Speaker 6: You know, you do stuff based on that, that the
Speaker 6: album or the song. So if you wanted to look
Speaker 6: at it from like a marketing standpoint, then that's that's
Speaker 6: what you would do. But from like a fan engagement standpoint,
Speaker 6: you're just looking to just connect all the fans in
Speaker 6: every way.
Speaker 2: Wait, okay, so hold on, hold on, hold on here,
Speaker 2: hold on here, what's.
Speaker 6: Your Yeah, my name's Billy.
Speaker 2: Billy, I gotta be honest with you. Well, so what, so,
Speaker 2: what the hell are you actually talking about?
Speaker 1: What are you?
Speaker 2: What are you supposed to? What are you supposed to
Speaker 2: be doing during this time? What is the marketing opportunity?
Speaker 2: What are we what are we doing?
Speaker 6: It's so the marketing opportunity is too for fans to
Speaker 6: just interact with, so I would be an extension of
Speaker 6: the artist, and the marketing opportunity is to just connect
Speaker 6: with general emission fans so that it's like on on,
Speaker 6: like pre show.
Speaker 2: Okay, So so the the idea is like, all right,
Speaker 2: so if I have my live show and the door
Speaker 2: is open at seven, but the show is at eight.
Speaker 2: I just I just chat with people from seven to eight.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, that's where I come in, because
Speaker 6: you have I'm saying, you know, as as the artist.
Speaker 6: We'll just say the artist. The artist is getting ready,
Speaker 6: being like prepping for the show, just getting ready in
Speaker 6: the green room, you know, just doing their thing. They
Speaker 6: don't want to It's not that they don't want to
Speaker 6: deal with everybody beforehand, but like, so.
Speaker 2: What, so what are you? What are you supposed to
Speaker 2: do as an extension of the of the artists?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So I play games with I play predetermined games with
Speaker 6: the general emission fan base. That's like at the show.
Speaker 3: Does this? Does this make sense?
Speaker 2: You're like a pre show jesture.
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, if you want to put it that way.
Speaker 2: That makes that makes some sense, That makes some sense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's yeah? Okay, that makes some sense. Would you you play?
Speaker 2: So you play games with?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: All right, so let's say the fans are going to
Speaker 2: go see uh the I don't why do why? Why
Speaker 2: can't I name a single band?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Let's say we're going to go see The Grateful Dead
Speaker 2: and we're there two hours early. You come over and
Speaker 2: you you start playing Grateful Dead themed games with us. Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: that's fun. I like that that could work. Yeah, can
Speaker 2: we win? I can we win the prizes?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So that's that's exactly what it. So you go and
Speaker 6: it's all predetermined, like I would work on the like
Speaker 6: with artists and their team to then go and say, hey,
Speaker 6: you know this is what we know. You have a
Speaker 6: show coming up on X y Z date right, and
Speaker 6: then it's like, well, we have preset giveaways and you know,
Speaker 6: like different, I have a if you've ever seen one
Speaker 6: of them spinning wheel things, like the colorful spinning wheel things,
Speaker 6: I have one of them with like the whiteboard things.
Speaker 6: Well right on it.
Speaker 2: Well, well, Billy, look well I'll say this is I
Speaker 2: think if you can if I like, if I were
Speaker 2: on the Shark Tank right and you were pitching me
Speaker 2: this idea, I would say something like, you know, well, normally, see,
Speaker 2: here's the thing is, this is already normally when people
Speaker 2: arrive early to a show, they already have a thing
Speaker 2: that they do, which is they get really drunk. Also,
Speaker 2: I'll say this, Billy, I'll say this before we go,
Speaker 2: is if you can come up with an idea for
Speaker 2: a pre show thing that is more fun than getting
Speaker 2: really drunk. Then you got yourself a good idea in
Speaker 2: your hands.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: But I I but I I you know. I wish
Speaker 2: you good luck with this idea. I wish you good
Speaker 2: luck with this idea.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate Is there is there anything else you want
Speaker 2: to say to the people of the computer before we go.
Speaker 6: Not to the computer.
Speaker 1: I do have a quick.
Speaker 2: Question for you, though, Yeah, please hit me.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 6: For the longest time I've been trying.
Speaker 5: To figure and if you can't say, then that's fine.
Speaker 6: For the longest time, I've been trying to figure out
Speaker 6: what the background music is with the flute.
Speaker 3: That is that a topic?
Speaker 6: Is that a no go topic?
Speaker 2: If you go to the music, if you go to
Speaker 2: YouTube and you search royalty free jazz music, it's one
Speaker 2: of those. That's what I did. Okay, so I went
Speaker 2: to Royalty Free Jazz music and so it's one of those.
Speaker 2: It's one of those.
Speaker 6: Cool, awesome, all right, cool, thanks Lyle. I really appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Of course, take care, Billy, bye bye.
Speaker 3: I have a good one. Bite.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting idea. I hope he makes it. I
Speaker 2: hope it works. Maybe that's funny. Maybe next maybe next year,
Speaker 2: when you go to a Therapy Gecko show, Billy will
Speaker 2: be out there juggling and playing Tic Tac dough with everyone,
Speaker 2: and everyone will be you know, this is actually a
