<v Speaker 2>Well, we we went to Aftershock, which is like a

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>big music festival, and then we drove down to San

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Francisco from Sacramento. Uh, and I needed some lead in

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco, and uh all they had was like mood

<v Speaker 2>rocks joints, And I was like, well, I guess I'll

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>take this. And I feel like I have a pretty

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>decent tolerance, so I just kind of get stoned. But

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>we went to dinner with her friend and her uh

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 2>her boyfriend. They were like, I think, like freshly engaged,

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and he got so fucked up. Like we were drinking

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and hanging out and everything having a good time, and

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.679

<v Speaker 2>he uh like in a haze, got up and like

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.919

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, boon, I mean, let's get into something.

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Can I help you with anything? I suppose.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the very first time I tried

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you was like four or five years ago.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I think I texted the show. It came to Portland

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>on a show. I think it was like two or

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>three years ago to do one of your live shows,

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and I wanted to talk about my daughter living in

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a different state. It's it's not as bad as it sounds,

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But it does interesting. Okay, how old is your daughter?

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>She's seven now, but her mom is in the military,

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and she was born in Germany overseas on a military base.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>It was like twenty nineteen when she was born.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 4>And.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>It was a shitty tibe obviously because the COVID they

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>shut down the borders, and you know, I flew out

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>there for the birth. But this is kind of like

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>right before lockdown happened. So I flew out there to

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>go spend time with her, you know, to go to you.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So let me get this straight. Your pregnant wife was

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>stationed in Germany were this.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Is just my ex girlfriend. We weren't even we weren't

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>even together. We broke up before she had the baby.

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you broke up while you broke up while they

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>were while she was pregnant.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't even know she was pregnant. We broke up,

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>and then I moved to Oregon, and then like five

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>months later she texted me and was like, Hey, I'm

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>pregnant because I went out there. I moved to Eugene originally,

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and when U she was about to leave for Korea,

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I literally said the words like do

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>you want to hook up before we like never see

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>each other again. She was like yeah, sure. So five

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>months after that, we she like messaged me and was like, hey,

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred percent pregnant, and I'm like ninety nine

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>percent sure it's yours. So I waited and stressed about

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>it and flew all the way out to Germany to

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>be there for the kid's birth, even though all these

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>like people in my family were like, you know, it

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be you know, it might not be yours, or

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 2>this could be a whole thing, or I don't know.

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But definitely a whole thing. Why did you got up.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole thing, all right. So so you guys

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>had you guys broke up and then you had like,

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>uh breakup sex, and then the breakup sex created a baby. Yeah,

0:05:58.680 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And why did you guys break up in it?

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was just young. This is like two

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eighteen ish. I was still living in Texas,

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.839

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll go up there and we'll go spend time with them.

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>They're they're living in Alaska right now, which is a

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>lot easier than.

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>When you said another state. I thought it was like,

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Virginia, West Virginia there in I mean, Alaska

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>is another planet.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I know, and I live in Oregon, so it's it's

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 2>kind of a long distance, not that bad. But her

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>husband is, uh, he's out of the military now and

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>he's like going to school to like be an airline mechanic.

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 2>And she's still active duty on days in Alaska. But

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>we've gone up there to visit with them and we

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>stay with them, or they'll come down here, and uh,

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 2>her husband's got family in Koo's Day and then her

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>dad lives in Eugene, so they have plenty of reasons

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 2>to come and visit and spend time out here. And

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 2>typically if they want to like go on a vacation

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>or something, then she'll she'll bring our girl out here

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>and she'll come and stay with us. But uh, but yeah,

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it's it's interesting, you know. I feel really bad for

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 2>people that have all these like toxic relationships with their

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>kids Bob or kid's dad or their family or whatever.

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like every time I tell people about them, it's

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like the exact opposite. Everybody loves each other and

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>we spend time together and nobody has any problems. We

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>just we just have this distance, which kind of sucks,

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's they'd decide that I'd all get to see

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>her every day again. But I feel like there's a

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>good opportunity for her mom to come back and them

0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>to kind of live out here, whether that's still in

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the military or something. But we we've been we've been

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>baking at work. She's going to come and she's going

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 2>to come and spend a week with us here in

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 2>like two weeks, So I'm excited about that. But yeah,

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it's been her Her whole life has just been this

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>extra relationship. It's like she's got.

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Her So she's seven and her she made like, she

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>goes to school and she has a pretty stable life

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 1>in Alaska. That's where she mainly lives. Yeah, and how

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>often in the past seven years has she gone to

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>like be with you.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Well, she lived with us for that whole year

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 2>post COVID and then since then we get to see

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>her in person maybe like three or four times a year,

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>which which sucks. But I do get to FaceTime with

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>her a lot, so her her mom will always you know,

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:04.079
<v Speaker 2>call us back or talk with this or whatever. It's

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>like I said, it's not it's not a toxic relationship.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 2>There's this distance. But she did just sign another, uh

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>another enlistment I think like a year ago, So they're

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna be out in Alaska for at least another two years.

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Before would you ever move to Alaska?

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't. I can't really live out there. I

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>really know, like I know that they want to leave,

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I know that this isn't like a permanent thing

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>of either her and them being there or or her

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>mom staying in the military. I think she wants to

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>leave eventually. It's just this is just kind of her

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>job and it. Uh. The one thing about it is

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>it's really it's really given our family like a lot

0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of stability. Like she's always had like a roof of

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>her head. And you know, obviously the military pays for

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>their housing and a lot of their expenses are kind

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of free. Like when she was born, we didn't have

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a hospital bill, like there's no debt associated with that.

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 2>She also has you know, like the good military health

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 2>insurance and stuff like that. Like h on my side,

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 2>like my family like has like the financial system that's

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like set up to like make sure that we're all comfortable.

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Like we have this trust right now that uh from

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>my grandpa that we get like a percentage of it,

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 2>so like every month she gets like a couple of

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 2>grand So we kind of let her.

0:15:59.440 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 3>For uh.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Or bobbin husband because it didn't really have to like

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 2>say for her. We just I don't know, it's like

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>everything is just kind of taken care of and we

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>just kind of have to work towards seeing each other

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>right now. But yeah, the goal is they just they

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 2>would eventually come out here to Portland and we would

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 2>all be this big, happy family.

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Boone, I have a question. Do you keep yawning or

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>is that you like taking a second to smoke a joint.

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not yawning. I'm I'm either smoking or trying to

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to breed. You want me to sit down?

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't. I don't want you to do anything.

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I was I was just genuinely curious.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>No, I've just thought I've just got to walk. I'll

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 2>either hit this blood or trying to trying to breathe.

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you how is the moon Rocks Blunt treating you?

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty nice?

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, Yeah, this is you know, it's interesting. It's interesting

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>dynamic you got going on, because like, yeah, it's a

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>very a lot of like you know, uh, I grew

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 1>up with my parents divorced, but I was lucky because

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>they might they lived like not even in the same state,

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 1>but they were like down the street for me too.

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, but you and I are really similar

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.959
<v Speaker 2>like that. My parents divorced when I was like seven,

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and they've always lived like in the same town.

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's Uh, you know, it's funny the nuclear

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>family of like I I, I do kind of tend

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to understand that there are a lot of different family setups.

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of different dynamics. I mean, ideally, you

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>have two parents who are like involved at minimum, at

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>minimum two parents who like give a fuck about you,

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, right, two parents who give a fuck about you.

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>But you can you can have There's many different types

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of successful family dynamics that exist in Yeah, I think

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I've always thought that there was only one.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>But I think as I get older, as I like

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 1>learn about stuff and you know, talk to people like,

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not uh, you know, life is life is life,

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and there's a lot of different things that can happen,

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, you can still have a successful, healthy,

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>happy child and many different dynamics. I mean, that's a

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>tough one for sure, with uh, your daughter living all

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the way in fucking Alaska. But yeah, man, I hope

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>that I hope that one day she is able to

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 1>move a little bit closer to you. I'm sure that

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that it's not like it doesn't sound like

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>your ex is completely stoked on living in Alaska forever.

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>So there's that too.

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Now they don't they don't seem to seem to love it.

<v Speaker 1>I do want to hear it. But also, okay, a

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 1>couple things. You're okay because of the polyamorous dynamic of it,

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.959
<v Speaker 1>isn't it like? So you I don't understand when you

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>got married to your fiance at the time, were you

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:19.479
<v Speaker 1>not Polly?

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 4>We we have always been Polly, but whenever we got engaged,

0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 4>we didn't have like a girlfriend or anything.

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you got engaged to this guy was a.

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 4>Guy, right, it was a girl?

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, I remember it was a girl. You got me.

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>You engaged to a lady, and then you got a girlfriend.

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 1>And then the lady you were engaged with left you

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to be with your girlfriend.

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's terrible.

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>This is like a call of duty free for all.

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I just.

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, it's just I don't even know. And

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 4>it happened in like April two, and like I've already

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 4>got like a place with my own. I'm trying to

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 4>like get my life back together, but like for some reason,

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 4>like I just can't get over them, even though it

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 4>was like they had like been separating themselves so much

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 4>from me and they had pretty much like kind of

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:24.199
<v Speaker 4>left me, but I had just kind of made the

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 4>move to just go ahead and throw myself out essentially,

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.119
<v Speaker 4>and I got an apartment and just left them. But

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 4>then I can't like not think about them all the time,

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 4>and like I still like love them, and I don't

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 4>know why. I just feel like I've made a mistake.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>This is a sign to not propose at my live

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>shows because it will curse your relationship.

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.120
<v Speaker 4>I know, I think so. I think so.

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Was it a mistake? Was it a mistake to throw

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>yourself out?

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. I don't know. I feel like

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 4>I was in like a really weird like headspace, Like

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I didn't feel like any pain or anything,

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.199
<v Speaker 4>like I literally just was like so over it and

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 4>over them. But once it like kind of set in

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.679
<v Speaker 4>and I was on my own, I was like I

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 4>really miss them. So I don't know.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know or not.

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you're, yeah, you're debating whether or not it

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake to Essentially, you noticed that they were

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>getting a little closer and kind of ousting you, and

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>you decided to You decided you didn't feel wanted enough there,

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 1>so you left on your own accord.

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, essentially. But I had like started a new job

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:57.360
<v Speaker 4>like late last year, and it's like a management position,

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 4>so I'm like, I'm away a lot. I worked. You know,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 4>it's only thirty minutes that I drive like thirty minutes there,

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 4>and I'm there a lot. Even when I'm at home,

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm taking phone calls and doing all kinds of stuff.

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:11.719
<v Speaker 4>And they just had like a lot of time together

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:14.399
<v Speaker 4>and they just got I don't know.

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 2>It was like.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Even like when I was still there and we were

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 4>still like kind of good, it kind of just felt

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 4>like they were really cheating on me. They had, you know,

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 4>they even like started trying for like like a baby

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 4>together like without and then like running it across me.

0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, Okay, okay, okay, what's your name again? Sedonah Sana?

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what my gut feeling is like, Sedona, You

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>know me, I'm pretty open minded. You know me, I'm

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty open minded, but this is one of this is

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>this is but I'm pretty open minded, but this is

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>totally like a point on the scoreboard for people who

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>are anti polyamorous relationships.

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 4>I know, I just, I mean, I the thing about

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 4>like my fiance was, she was so like she knew

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 4>what she was doing in like polyamorous relationships. You know,

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 4>she was like giving other people advice and things.

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's just like the Machavelian power stru It's like

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the it's like secession or something. It's like a weird thing,

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you feel. And she had more experience

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in that dynamic than you, and she was trying to

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 1>basically reign supreme in the hierarchy of the of the

0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 1>of the throttle.

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it gets so much worse.

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Gick.

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 4>I just I have been like honestly so miserable, and

0:28:55.840 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 4>I recently like I had like blocked them because like

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I was in the time that I had done blocked,

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 4>I was doing so much better, like mentally, but then

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 4>I just for some reason, I was just so close

0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 4>to the house and I just went over there and

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 4>like all my cats are still over there, and I

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 4>just I don't know. I went over there and they

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 4>look at they're very like controlling, and they made me

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 4>unblock them and that lasted like two days and then

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 4>I walk them again. And I don't really feel bad

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 4>about it, Okay.

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think first of all, I don't think it

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake too. If you are in a relationship

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 1>or a situation where you feel like you're not wanted,

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:44.959
<v Speaker 1>you should leave. Yeah, you know, you should leave. If

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.479
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're not being chosen and you're not wanted,

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you should uh you know, not be there. Especially. I mean,

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's one thing, by the way, by the

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>way that goes that advice is like like kind of

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>uh uh complicated in a monogamous relationship, but in a

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:11.959
<v Speaker 1>polyamorous relationship, it's like dog, you know, if they're if

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they're if they're having a baby without you, that's like, yeah,

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a lot. I don't think it was a

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>mistake to leave in that situation.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And because I had found out like maybe like

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 4>not even a month ago, like because I had already

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 4>been gone for like a month and a month after

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:36.320
<v Speaker 4>I left, she's like pregnant now, so that kind of

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 4>hurts so I've been trying to deal with that, so

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 4>it's like already, well, like I still have like this

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 4>big open wound. Like they it's just like they dig

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 4>it even deeper. And yeah, I just and I try

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 4>to be so understand. I haven't done anything but be

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 4>so wonderful to them about it, and I try so hard,

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 4>but it just hurts so much because like, and no

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 4>one has like really under stood like what I'm talking about.

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 4>Like I tried to speak to one of my friends

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 4>about it, and he was just like, oh, you're you're jealous.

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 4>You're just like, no, I'm not jealous. It's like the

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 4>wrong word. But it's like, you know, we had like

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 4>lightly talked about it, and if anybody would have a baby,

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 4>it would be me, and even if our girlfriend were

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 4>to get pregnant, it would be like my baby too.

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 4>And now that baby's going to exist and it's not

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 4>my baby, you know what I mean. It's just like

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of painful. I know, it's a very weird situation,

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:33.719
<v Speaker 4>but it's just a situation that I was living in

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 4>for years. So it's r I mean, and no one

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 4>relates to it.

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know what you mean. I

0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>know what you mean, and even like, again, it's a

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>weird situation. There's like a polyamorous element to it. But

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you take out the polyamorous element of it, right,

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's like you and this lady you talk about

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>having a baby together and then you see your having

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>a baby with someone else, you know the clear as

0:31:54.160 --> 0:32:02.200
<v Speaker 1>day as to why that would be emotionally difficult. How

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>long ago did you exit from the group chat?

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I officially moved out, like early April. M hmm.

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this is pretty new.

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>worried about, uh, the people. Those two they're in for

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:51.960
<v Speaker 1>a treat. You got you about of all three of

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you guys, of all three of you guys,

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:00.320
<v Speaker 1>she you got out the best, it seems, because it

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.520
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a lot of you guys got the best

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of you gotta the best of them, Because it sounds

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:13.719
<v Speaker 1>like the lady that you initially got engaged with was

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>like playing some weird mind power games and doing a

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>whole thing, and then you know that sucks for her,

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and then it's gonna suck for whoever she raises the

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>baby with. So I mean, yeah, that's a lot. That's

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Yeah, that's a lot you should be. I

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you should be doing graffiti or something.

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 4>I know I need to do something else. But yeah,

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 4>she was. Can I talk a little bit more about it?

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course, okay.

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 4>She was just like also like super like controlling, Like

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 4>I like smoke and stuff, and she was like so

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 4>mean about it, like not just like a normal like

0:33:57.400 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 4>amount of like hair, I want you to stop smoking,

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 4>but like like ultimatums like all the time. She's always

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 4>trying to control and change like everything about me to

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 4>where like it just is so like miserable, and like

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 4>one thing of like moving out was it's like raw,

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I can like do this and that now nervous. But yeah,

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 4>it's just crazy how controlling she was. But I still

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 4>miss them a lot, and I don't know why.

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I well, I mean it makes sense that your your

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:32.840
<v Speaker 1>body has uh uh, well, the literal answer as to

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:35.200
<v Speaker 1>why you miss them is that your brain has formed

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:42.640
<v Speaker 1>neurochemical trenches that align themselves with their presence over a

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 1>period of time, and it takes a certain period of

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 1>time for those trenches in your brain to be entrenched

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a little longer than three months. Yeah, are you dating?

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Are you on? What's the are you on? Field? Is

0:35:01.800 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that the one field?

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 4>No? I I tried like a little bit, like not

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.760
<v Speaker 4>like one into like day or anything, but just maybe

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.879
<v Speaker 4>like see people and meet people, but that didn't go well.

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 4>So I'm just like I straight up and just gonna,

0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:20.319
<v Speaker 4>you know, not be with anybody. Like I'm to the

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 4>point to where I'm just for here on out for

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.479
<v Speaker 4>I just don't want to be around like, I don't

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:28.920
<v Speaker 4>think anyone. I don't want any partners or anything.

<v Speaker 1>Well interesting, You're like, that's that's kind of interesting because

<v Speaker 1>the travelers are coming to you.

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 4>I know they are. They're coming to me.

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So like you know, when you meet some guy and

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:19.359
<v Speaker 1>his wife from uh Columbus, Ohio, you talk to them

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit, it's like you get to visit Columbus, Ohio,

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 1>my proxy.

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I try to enjoy it, but like like in

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.239
<v Speaker 4>the position I'm at, like the only guests I really

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 4>get to talk to or ones that are terrible people

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 4>and that are like causing major issues. So like it's

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.799
<v Speaker 4>also made me kind of like lose faith in humanity

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 4>and like the kind of not like people anymore. I

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.280
<v Speaker 4>just am always you know, I just discussed at people.

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Now, what like give me some examples.

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 4>Some examples, Yeah, oh my gosh. We have like a

0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of like scam artists come in. I had one yesterday,

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:04.919
<v Speaker 4>but one that really sticks out to me was when

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 4>it was still like cold outside and it was this

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.680
<v Speaker 4>lady and her little kid, and since she had like

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.239
<v Speaker 4>a little boy with her, we felt really like, man,

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 4>we really got to help. So we gave her like

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 4>a free room. And this was whenever, like we were

0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 4>getting like really iced in and stuff, and all of

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:25.640
<v Speaker 4>the employees were like, because you know, whenever it's like

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 4>in the winter and it's like icing in. Employees of hotels,

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.640
<v Speaker 4>we like essentially lived at the hotel, so they were

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.440
<v Speaker 4>like giving us like dinner and like every meal. So

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 4>we were like seeding those two, like the mom and

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 4>the kid as well. I forget exactly like what went down,

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 4>but she was doing like some really sketchy stuff when

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 4>we asked her to leave and we had to get

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 4>the cops involved. And what's that little you know when

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:53.359
<v Speaker 4>people have to have like their like colon or something

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.879
<v Speaker 4>removed and they have that little tube with a bag? Yes,

0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 4>what's that called colostomy bag? Yeah, she's showed me hers.

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 4>She like it was like a feel bad and she

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 4>like pulled down her pants and like whipped out her bag.

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 4>And I've never been so disgusted in my entire line.

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 4>It was horrible. Yeah, I just completely snapped in that moment.

0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I was like, you gotta go, you gotta go right now.

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that the was that the moment where you told.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh, no, I was telling her that before. Yeah, she

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 4>was pulling every every trick out of the bag. She

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 4>was like, I got this, I got that like feel

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 4>bad for me, feel bad for me. But she you know,

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 4>it happened so often. We kind of like feel like

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:35.960
<v Speaker 4>we were kind of fulled that time and we got

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 4>like kind of like scanned a little bit. But she

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 4>was also kind of like you know, nick lesting her

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 4>child a little bit. So we're just letting it happen.

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.279
<v Speaker 4>To take care of him a little bit, but there's

0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:47.399
<v Speaker 4>only so much we can do.

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.320

<v Speaker 3>like twenty twenty. I was just looking at all of

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the times I've called you.

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:44.120

<v Speaker 1>to talk about?

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I feel like we are twin souls

0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 3>in a weird way. Like my whole life, I knew

0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to like help people and talk to people

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.879
<v Speaker 3>about their problem. And I just absolutely love the way

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:05.279
<v Speaker 3>that you use your platform. And I listened to you

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 3>all through college when I was studying to be a counselor,

0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:10.839
<v Speaker 3>and like, in the weirdest way, I took so many

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 3>ways that you talk to people and get people to

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:16.520
<v Speaker 3>open up. I just think you have a gift with it.

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:41:17.400 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 1>It's really really sweet. I really appreciate that. Yeah, yeah,

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>so you're Are you a counselor?

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I want to be. I'm actually like a general manager

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:34.239
<v Speaker 3>of a mellow mushroom right now. It's kind of it

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 3>matches my personality at heart, because like I'm a smoker,

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 3>and no part of me ever like it didn't really

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:44.600
<v Speaker 3>mesh in my head to like smoke weed but then

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:46.759
<v Speaker 3>also be a counselor. So it was really hard for

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 3>me during school to try to mesh the two. But

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.920
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, it was like smoking helps you

0:41:52.960 --> 0:41:55.799
<v Speaker 3>connect with people so much to like, in the ideal world,

0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.279
<v Speaker 3>if I could just be a counselor and have like

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 3>a smoke sash with all my clients, I feel like

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I got help so many people.

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I have so many things to say that I mean,

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>good news is you can absolutely smoke a ton of

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.960
<v Speaker 1>weed and be the general manager of Melo Mushroom Pizza.

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:14.759
<v Speaker 1>I fuck with Mela Mushron Pizza heavy. I love a

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Melo Mushroom Pizza. Where are they? Where are they located?

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:17.839
<v Speaker 4>Again?

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I know I've been to them before a bunch of that,

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but they're like kind of specifically in some region of

0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 1>the states. Where are they?

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like they started in Atlanta and they're all over

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the country now, but they're I'm I'm in Georgia.

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Melo mushrom Pizza is awesome. I have to

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:40.279
<v Speaker 1>say that. I mean, it depends on who you are.

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes weed helpspe connect with people. Other times it does

0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the true exact opposite, and I'm like, yeah, I don't

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.839
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to anyone, you know.

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 3>I feel like every time I've ever smoked with anybody,

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 3>like it's either like that person never wants to smoke

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 3>with me again because I unlocked up or to their

0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 3>personality that they didn't know like existed, or like that

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.600
<v Speaker 3>person becomes like almost addicted to me, where they can't

0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:12.360
<v Speaker 3>stop unlocking parts of themselves through conversation.

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, tell me more about this, Tell me more about

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the how you feel like you unlock parts of people

0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>through conversation.

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:25.880
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, if you can get a person to

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 3>see that you see them and you're not just like

0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 3>talking to them with the script, then you've won and

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 3>they know that they are seen, then they'll open up

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:42.240
<v Speaker 3>in ways that they wanted of if they felt overlooked totally.

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 3>And I feel like the way I use smoking, like

0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 3>it just completely unlocks that first layer of yourself, because

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:54.240
<v Speaker 3>that's at least how it affects me, Like I'm able

0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 3>to be who I am meant to be without the

0:43:57.760 --> 0:43:59.640
<v Speaker 3>layers of anxiety lock in myself.

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Then you're able to be here you're meant to be

0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:07.400
<v Speaker 1>with up layers of anxiety locking you in. So we okay,

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 1>so we does the opp weed makes you less anxious

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:12.440
<v Speaker 1>so that you can be yourself?

0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, ok I know it's not the same for everybody, Okay.

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>And do you still desire to be a counselor it

0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:26.040
<v Speaker 1>sounds like this is a big, a big thing for you.

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like my whole life, like I've been like the

0:44:32.160 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 3>the mediator of every like situation I've been in. So

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:36.719
<v Speaker 3>it kind of just like it's a natural part of

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 3>my personality where it kind of felt silly to go

0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to school for it because it was like flying through

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:46.320
<v Speaker 3>school with a's because it's just discovering parts of yourself

0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:50.719
<v Speaker 3>through the textbook almost and a part of me really

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:53.720
<v Speaker 3>wants to do that, but it's like going to school

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:57.840
<v Speaker 3>is so expensive that it just seems like a corporate

0:44:57.880 --> 0:44:59.480
<v Speaker 3>game that I don't want to be a part of.

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Like I can help people without going to school.

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's if you really want to. You can

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>totally uh start a twitch stream where you talk to

0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:15.359
<v Speaker 1>people on the phone and uh and and smoke weed

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>with them. You know, there's nothing stopping you from doing that.

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You can be a coach. You've thought about it.

0:45:23.120 --> 0:45:23.399
<v Speaker 3>You should?

0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>You should? You should? You should do it? It sounds like

0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it's something you want to do. I mean, you can

0:45:26.080 --> 0:45:29.359
<v Speaker 1>go into the streets and be like uh Lucy from

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Peanuts and just fucking be like smoke and hang out

0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>with me and people people when you don't I've noticed, Uh,

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a thing I've noticed by the fact of

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>like just walking around in the get Go suit and whatnot.

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 1>It's very funny to me because like doing all this

0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 1>stuff is second nature to me because I've been doing

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it for so long. But uh, I'm like, anytime you

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 1>set up a thing, people notice, you know, especially in

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:01.359
<v Speaker 1>real life, particularly in real life, if you set up

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a little thing, people who walk by, they look at

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 1>your little thing and they go, what's this little thing?

0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I think I'm I'm pro little thing like

0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that park that I'm always filming at Washington Square Park,

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:17.879
<v Speaker 1>there's all sorts of people there with their with their

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>little thing. Like I stopped by there yesterday and there

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:23.279
<v Speaker 1>was a guy who's like had a little table up

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:28.280
<v Speaker 1>being like, uh, you should pretend like God is real,

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:32.239
<v Speaker 1>And he had a whole line of people talking to him.

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:34.600
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't famous or nothing. He just had a whole

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people who wanted to talk be a part

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of his little thing, debating him about God. You know.

0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:44.239
<v Speaker 1>So just do a little do a little thing if

0:46:44.239 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 1>that's If that's what you so desire, I think you'll

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:48.399
<v Speaker 1>have a good time.

0:46:49.480 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm. I definitely I definitely need to what's your

0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:57.000
<v Speaker 3>like number one piece of advice for somebody who's trying

0:46:57.040 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 3>to start a little thing, like uh, out in the wild.

0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:05.400
<v Speaker 1>My number one piece of advice for someone trying to

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.919
<v Speaker 1>start a little thing out in the wild, is uh,

0:47:09.239 --> 0:47:16.239
<v Speaker 1>push at least thirty minutes past the when you have

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:20.239
<v Speaker 1>that thought, when you have that inevitable thought of I

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.680
<v Speaker 1>feel really stupid right now. I think this is a

0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:26.840
<v Speaker 1>stupid and bad idea. You should push back, push through

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>that for at least thirty minutes, because it's always on

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the other side of that idea, And that's fine. I never,

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:35.879
<v Speaker 1>I never, I never don't get that feeling, even after

0:47:35.920 --> 0:47:37.440
<v Speaker 1>doing it for so long. I still every time I

0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:40.040
<v Speaker 1>go out and walk around in that costume, I still

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:41.879
<v Speaker 1>get a little feeling of like I feel a little

0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:45.240
<v Speaker 1>stupid right now. I think this was like a stupid idea,

0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>even though it's worked so many times. Every time I

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.360
<v Speaker 1>do it, I'm like, no, this is a stupid idea.

0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:53.759
<v Speaker 1>So but then, but then on the on the other

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.400
<v Speaker 1>end of that, like usually about a half hour after

0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:00.799
<v Speaker 1>deciding that what I'm doing is a stupid idea, is

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:03.280
<v Speaker 1>when something fun and cool happens.

0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:07.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I respect you so much for like breaking the

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:13.640
<v Speaker 3>boundary with like, you know, I'm not trying to sound

0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:16.000
<v Speaker 3>any type of way, but like stressing up as a

0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:19.719
<v Speaker 3>green gecko and like breaking the boundary with people with

0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:23.120
<v Speaker 3>that is crazy and that's such a cool, unique thing.

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you this, I genuinely do believe I

0:48:27.480 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 1>am being this. I'm being one hundred percent years. I

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:34.399
<v Speaker 1>genuinely believe that being the general manager at a Melo

0:48:34.440 --> 0:48:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Mushroom pizza is more difficult than dressing up as a

0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 1>gecko and walking around. So yeah, you so, I think

0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that you have already done the more difficult thing, and thus,

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.759
<v Speaker 1>if you want to do another little thing where you

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:54.280
<v Speaker 1>put yourself out there, I think you're you're well primed.

0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Are you with a baby right now? Do you have

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a baby?

0:48:57.000 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I hear a baby?

0:48:57.960 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm in the car with my daughter. Actually,

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 3>crazy story. My cat is in the urgent tear right now,

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:09.120
<v Speaker 3>and I was trying to distract myself by calling you,

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:10.720
<v Speaker 3>and I'm baby bitting my daughter.

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:13.760
<v Speaker 1>How old is your daughter?

0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:16.799
<v Speaker 3>My daughter is eighteen months old?

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Wow, wait, you also have a daughter. That's way harder

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:25.520
<v Speaker 1>than setting up a fucking You've done so many You've

0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:27.520
<v Speaker 1>done so many things in your life that are way

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 1>harder than you know, setting up a fucking sign at

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:36.759
<v Speaker 1>a park and talking to people. So yeah, you're already there.

0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:41.160
<v Speaker 1>How yeah, how's it been how's how the eighteen months been.

0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 3>It's been good. I never really thought that I'd enjoy

0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:49.640
<v Speaker 3>parenting as much as I do. It's really fun to

0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:54.840
<v Speaker 3>have like all the first experiences with somebody and walking

0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:59.240
<v Speaker 3>them through it and like being like, I'm twenty four

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:03.319
<v Speaker 3>and I just I decided to have kids young because

0:50:16.160 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my daughter. It's like, you know that everybody has

0:50:21.200 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 3>different experiences with their kids, but I always knew that

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:24.560
<v Speaker 3>i'd be close to mine.

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:25.919
<v Speaker 4>M hmm.

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And who's the father.

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:34.560
<v Speaker 3>My husband? I met him when I was twenty two.

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I dropped out of college and started working at Mellow Mushroom,

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and you know, wow, everything went from there.

0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, what's what's your husband do?

0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.520
<v Speaker 3>He works? His job's blame his job, blame. He works

0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:58.360
<v Speaker 3>in a big cold warehouse. He works in a big freezer.

0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 1>And how is it for him being a father?

0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:03.919
<v Speaker 4>He loves it.

0:51:04.280 --> 0:51:08.440
<v Speaker 3>He's actually like the best dad he could ever be. Like,

0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:12.160
<v Speaker 3>he lets me really kind of explore who I want

0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:14.680
<v Speaker 3>to be still even though I'm so young, and he

0:51:15.320 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 3>takes care of her and is really there for us

0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 3>in every way that he could be. And I know

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:24.640
<v Speaker 3>I am so blessed compared to like I hear so

0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:29.400
<v Speaker 3>many people with young dads nowadays, Like it's like the

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:34.000
<v Speaker 3>whole father experience has like changed, and I'm so thankful

0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 3>to have a good one. I don't know, I feel

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:38.319
<v Speaker 3>like a lot of dads are like deadbeats nowadays. And

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 3>without that sounded too harsh, I just hearing things from

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:47.960
<v Speaker 3>friends and co workers. It's like I know that, like

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 3>the fact that my child's father reads their bedtime stories

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 3>and changes their diapers and gives their backs, like is

0:51:56.120 --> 0:51:56.760
<v Speaker 3>a big deal.

0:52:00.040 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, mm hmm. What do you have in mind for

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:08.279
<v Speaker 1>this little thing you want to do?

0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:14.680
<v Speaker 3>I really want to go back to school, I think

0:52:15.440 --> 0:52:21.279
<v Speaker 3>in general, and I want to start something creative to

0:52:21.400 --> 0:52:25.480
<v Speaker 3>help people. Like I was saying earlier, I really like

0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:27.480
<v Speaker 3>like outdoor stuff.

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:27.680
<v Speaker 2>And.

0:52:29.280 --> 0:52:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I think they're messing something like, uh something crazy outdoor

0:52:35.080 --> 0:52:39.360
<v Speaker 3>with like counseling mixed with smoking. I just think would

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:44.799
<v Speaker 3>be like the coolest, But I know that there's gonna

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:45.919
<v Speaker 3>be a lot of steps to get there.

0:52:49.040 --> 0:52:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, trying not to think too many about the steps

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:57.680

<v Speaker 1>new podcast that's just looking at stuff on Wikipedia. Okay,

0:54:03.160 --> 0:54:06.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. Okay, when I'm in Atlanta, I'm gonna go.

0:54:06.120 --> 0:54:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go to this Melow Mushrom Pizza is gonna

0:54:09.560 --> 0:54:15.480
<v Speaker 1>be sick. Hello. Folks, this is Lyle Gecko. Man. I'm

0:54:15.520 --> 0:54:22.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna end the podcast by doing one gek mail, maybe two.

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll see how I feel. I shouldn't have even brought

0:54:26.560 --> 0:54:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it up. I made a mistake. I brought it up,

0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:32.239
<v Speaker 1>and some people are expecting to. But if I had

0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 1>just said, we're gonna read one and then I had

0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:36.800
<v Speaker 1>been like, you know what, let's do two, and that

0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:38.719
<v Speaker 1>it would have been a pleasant surprise, as opposed to

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:42.359
<v Speaker 1>now I you know, I could have set myself up

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 1>for only the possibility of a pleasant surprise, and now

0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I've set myself up for only the possibility of either

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:57.279
<v Speaker 1>a disappointment or something that was already anticipated. So I

0:54:57.320 --> 0:54:59.440
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. That's why you can't let people know your

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 1>plans to in advanced folks. That's why you can't let

0:55:02.600 --> 0:55:04.800
<v Speaker 1>people know your plans do foreign advance anyway. I forget

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>what I even said. I forget where I am. I

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:12.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know what year it is. I'm crazy. I did

0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:18.840
<v Speaker 1>four rounds of ketamine therapy over the past few weeks.

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It was crazy. They scrambled my brain. This isn't an

0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:24.239
<v Speaker 1>email I'm reading. This is just I don't know why

0:55:24.239 --> 0:55:25.959
<v Speaker 1>I decided to talk about this right now. I've wanted

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk about this. It scrambled my brain. It didn't

0:55:32.320 --> 0:55:37.680
<v Speaker 1>do the thing I wanted it to do. But what

0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>happened was I was I was going in, I was

0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:47.560
<v Speaker 1>going in for the injection, and I was really nervous

0:55:47.560 --> 0:55:49.960
<v Speaker 1>about how it would feel, and I wanted something to

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:54.400
<v Speaker 1>calm me down. So I started thinking about Larry David

0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and I started running I started running Curb Your Enthusiasm

0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:01.520
<v Speaker 1>episodes in my head. I was nervous for the ketemine.

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:05.640
<v Speaker 1>And then when they started injecting me with it, fucking

0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:07.719
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, Larry David is guiding me through

0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the astral plane. And I didn't really have any life epiphanies.

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I just thought about Larry David guiding me through the

0:56:14.160 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 1>astral plane. And then I wake up and the fucking

0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:18.600
<v Speaker 1>nurse is looking at me and she's like, did you

0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>have any particular feelings? And I was like, I thought

0:56:22.600 --> 0:56:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot about Larry David and she was like, oh,

0:56:26.600 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 1>who is that? And I said he's a He's a

0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:34.560
<v Speaker 1>very funny guy and she was like, oh, he's a comedian.

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like yeah, and she was like, do you

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:39.759
<v Speaker 1>know him? And I was like, no, but he's a

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:44.680
<v Speaker 1>very funny guy. And then uh, and then the doctor

0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:54.440
<v Speaker 1>fake laughed and then I gave her money and that

0:56:54.560 --> 0:56:58.560
<v Speaker 1>was it. So that's my review of ketamine therapy. I

0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>could go more in depth, but h maybe I will,

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.560
<v Speaker 1>but I want to read this email. This is why

0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the one gak mail I'll read. We got

0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:13.120
<v Speaker 1>one gak mail maybe maybe maybe maybe two, I don't know. Okay,

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.959
<v Speaker 1>this is from This is from someone called Giga Cats.

0:57:17.720 --> 0:57:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Subject line I hate my mother in law. Sometimes I

0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:28.439
<v Speaker 1>truly feel that some people deserve to suffer and some

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:32.920
<v Speaker 1>deserve to die. Jesus Christ. There's only three people that

0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I have this very real hatred for, and my mother

0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:37.720
<v Speaker 1>in law is one of them. I wish I could

0:57:37.720 --> 0:57:39.560
<v Speaker 1>just show up to my boyfriend's house to find out

0:57:39.600 --> 0:57:42.960
<v Speaker 1>she's dead. Oh my god, this is crazy. She's slowly

0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:47.040
<v Speaker 1>been losing connections with her family to her intolerable self,

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 1>but she deserves it. She deserves to be alone in

0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:53.880
<v Speaker 1>need with no one to help her. Jesus Christ. This

0:57:54.000 --> 0:57:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this was an email, that this is

0:57:55.440 --> 0:57:57.960
<v Speaker 1>just someone's journal entry and they were like, I'm going

0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to send this in. I wish she could feel regret,

0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:07.720
<v Speaker 1>but she is incapable of internalizing her actions, and she

0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:11.800
<v Speaker 1>could never blame herself, only play the victim. Sometimes I

0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:14.360
<v Speaker 1>think about taking matters into my own hands to teach

0:58:14.400 --> 0:58:16.720
<v Speaker 1>her a lesson, but my partner wants me to get

0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:19.680
<v Speaker 1>along with her, and my close relationship to her would

0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:22.720
<v Speaker 1>make me a suspect if I were to commit any crimes.

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. I am left only to think this is

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:32.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like her mother in law, like eight her

0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:35.120
<v Speaker 1>leftovers in the fucking fridge once, or something like that.

0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been in a committed relationship with her son for

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:44.360
<v Speaker 1>five years and really want to spend my life with him,

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:47.440
<v Speaker 1>so that requires I interact with her every so often.

0:58:47.880 --> 0:58:49.880
<v Speaker 1>At first, I thought it was just annoying how often

0:58:49.920 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 1>she would call my boyfriend and how almost every time

0:58:53.000 --> 0:58:55.120
<v Speaker 1>we planned a date she had to ruin it by

0:58:55.120 --> 0:58:58.440
<v Speaker 1>making my boyfriend do work for her. What kind of work?

0:58:59.160 --> 0:59:01.960
<v Speaker 1>But the deeper my relationship has grown, the worse are

0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the things I learn about and see in her. I'm

0:59:05.000 --> 0:59:08.280
<v Speaker 1>not talking about the neglect towards my boyfriend and his childhood.

0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about straight up egocentricity and lack of self consciousness.

0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Throughout multiple surgeries my boyfriend needed to get done. She

0:59:18.240 --> 0:59:22.520
<v Speaker 1>would dismiss his needs and call him lazy for needing

0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:27.760
<v Speaker 1>so much rest, disgusting for not cleaning his room, and

0:59:27.840 --> 0:59:30.560
<v Speaker 1>worst of all, ask him for tons of favors he

0:59:30.640 --> 0:59:34.120
<v Speaker 1>barely had the physical capacity to do, and guilt trip

0:59:34.200 --> 0:59:36.800
<v Speaker 1>him for not doing them. When he gets mad at

0:59:36.840 --> 0:59:39.600
<v Speaker 1>her and sets boundaries, she'll tell him he needs to

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:42.760
<v Speaker 1>go to a psychiatrist to get his mood checked, something

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:45.880
<v Speaker 1>she used to do when he was a minor. It's

0:59:45.880 --> 0:59:48.560
<v Speaker 1>as if she never could realize the things she says,

0:59:50.960 --> 0:59:53.720
<v Speaker 1>as if her entire uni, as if the entire universe

0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:56.920
<v Speaker 1>had to respond to her every command. What are your

0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:59.000
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on people like her? And how do you keep

0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>your sanity around them when seeing them is necessary? Thank you, gak,

1:00:03.120 --> 1:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You're an amazing person worthy of love. Okay, you're okay,

1:00:11.400 --> 1:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>my actual, my hosband. Your boyfriend needs to do so.

1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Your boyfriend needs to uh deal with this. Your boyfriend

1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>needs to deal with this, or you need to deal

1:00:22.280 --> 1:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>with It's if if if? If your boyfriend like, because

1:00:25.360 --> 1:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you're an adult, right, I assume I assume you're an adult.

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I assume your boyfriend's an adult, and like, as to adults,

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>if there's another person who's like making your fucking life

1:00:38.000 --> 1:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>a living hell, like you gotta get them out and

1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta I would literally tell your boyfriend like, yo,

1:00:44.680 --> 1:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>you gotta, like we need, we need to distance ourselves

1:00:49.280 --> 1:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>from your mother or I'm out. I do I do

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of believe that because this because you this woman

1:00:56.480 --> 1:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>clearly like you despise her, You despise the way that

1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>she treats your boyfriend, and I mean, you want to

1:01:04.560 --> 1:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>kill her. This is crazy, This is absolutely insane. Your

1:01:09.320 --> 1:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend doesn't sound like he needs to be around this lady.

1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't sound like you want to be around this lady.

1:01:15.040 --> 1:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>So if I were the if the if I were you,

1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, yo, dude, you gotta, we gotta get

1:01:20.440 --> 1:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>out of here. This is a lot, This is too much.

1:01:23.920 --> 1:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>And if he and if it's too hard for him,

1:01:26.840 --> 1:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that does suck. That is a complicated, sad thing. But

1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>then I guess you have to decide whether or not

1:01:32.880 --> 1:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>like you want to be a part of that. You know,

1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it's up to you. It's a difficult situation.

1:01:39.800 --> 1:01:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Though.

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't kill this lady. Don't kill this lady, that's a

1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>bad idea. I recommend not killing this lady. Thank you

1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>for sharing giga cats. Uh. I think this is I

1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>think this is the end of the podcast. My name

1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is Lyle. I'm a gecko. H oh, I have an

1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>up I have a fun thing. We did a show

1:02:08.680 --> 1:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>in Portland a few weeks ago, and in real life,

1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I met the famous train hopping Trip, the caller who

1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>hops trains. He showed up on our show as Steve.

1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>He legally changed his name to Trip, which is awesome.

1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>He came up on stage and he gave us some

1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>life updates. It was really cool to meet him in

1:02:38.520 --> 1:02:41.400
