0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>now avoiding going into my store and doing my job.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>What's the store? I mean it's Is it a specific store,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>is it a chain?

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a chain?

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>What's the store? Are you allowed to say?

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Kroger, Kroger. Kroger's are mainly in the West coast, yeah,

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>or like the not the west, the middle of the

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>middle of the I almost said the Middle East to

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the country. There are no Kroger's in

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East. There's no, there is no. They don't

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>have Kroger in Iraq.

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>No, no, there are no Krogers in Iraq. Uh.

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>What's it like working at the Kroger.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's fine, it's fine. I just stocked shelves and

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I listen to you and other podcasts and that's about it.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>What is the hardest part about the shell of stocking?

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Customers have no sense of spatial awareness or other people.

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times people will hark a cart like

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>right in the middle of the aisle, walk away from it,

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, take so much time and think and

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 2>do whatever people do, but always ends up just kind

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>of being a little frustrating as someone just doing a job.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Do people? Have you seen there's this guy on YouTube.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I kind of hate him, but he's I can't look

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>away because he just he makes he makes content that

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I think is mean spirited, but it it's undeniably interesting

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>where he runs up to people and forces them in

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot to put their shopping carts back if

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>they left them out. Do you see that? Have you

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>ever seen this guy?

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I have seen that guy. I think he's a little

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>little heavy handed sometimes, but I I kind of dig it.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>It's undeniably very interesting to watch. Does that really?

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Like, Okay, as a guy, I'm sure you've had

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to put away plenty of shopping carts left in parking

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>lots before, have you not?

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never had to do that, but I really a

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people do that.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, as somebody who's close to that, do you

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>how evil of an action do you believe.

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.839
<v Speaker 2>It to be to leave the cart in the lot

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 2>and not put it like in the little slot.

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's evil, but I definitely think it's

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a I moral is definitely not the word, but like

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>it's selfish almost, you know, it's it's it's a lack

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>of thought kind of action that is, like without consideration

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>for just the world happening around you. You know, leave

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 2>as you left it? Yeah, you found it.

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe it's an indicator? Do you believe someone

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>who does that there's a there's an INDI it may

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>indicate that they're capable of greater evil.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Deep down. Maybe what's your name again, Grayson?

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Grayson? Is there any particular reason you called into the

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>show to.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>That I'm getting married in two weeks from today, congratulations,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>thank you, And then I am moving two weeks after that,

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and the pressure from those two things is definitely starting

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>to mount. Mmm.

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>How old are you? How long have you and your

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>home even engaged? I don't know. I've never referred to

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to say partner and I didn't want

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to say girlfriend, so I said homie, but you knew

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>what I meant. How long have you guys been together?

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Four years?

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Four years?

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Cool?

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Are you excited to get married?

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm extremely excited. I'm very very excited.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. Tell me where the pressure is coming from.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>We both are in different kinds of jobs where she

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>definitely picks up a lot more financially than I do,

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>which has bled very heavily, like into the wedding where

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, far less than like fifty to fifty

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>split input you know, financially and stuff like that. And

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>then you know, she just works a lot. She's a nurse,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 2>works twelve and so she just does a lot. And

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>we're getting married and then we're moving so that I

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>can take a chance with my degree and try and

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>take a try and to take a chance with you know,

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 2>something that I actually want to do, which is wonderful

0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 2>because she's made a lot of like really made or

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, life choices and sacrifice for me. She's kind

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 2>of the one that's like made the idea, like let's

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 2>go somewhere more music friendly. My degree is in music

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>for film, So we're going to Nashville so I can

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 2>try and get something a little bit more in the

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>industry or industry adjacent interesting, But I find myself a

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>lot struggling with like, I don't know, making good on

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the sacrifice that she's making for me, you know, by

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 2>by giving me this opportunity to go. I feel a

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of pressure to actually get a job, which has

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>not really been going well so far.

0:06:54.520 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well I don't know, Well, all right, I actually

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I have I'll actually I have a lot of questions. So, like, okay,

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>so this lady, she's a nurse, she are do you, guys,

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>like financially contribute equally to the relationship or do you

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of contribute based on what each other makes.

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>It's closer to based off what each other makes?

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And like do you feel because like because sometimes

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you know someone's contributing more financially and like they're happy

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to and and like it's fine. Like do you feel

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>do you feel in your gut of guts that that

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there is any kind of resentment from her about that?

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that it's resentment as much as it

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>as it is maybe like maybe disappointment that I haven't

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>fully like committed to the changes that I need to

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>or yeah, you know, haven't fully given my all or

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't necessarily like overcome like my like fears of failure

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 2>regarding it and stuff like that. You know, I have

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of like creative self consciousness, you know.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>So she so you feel not that she was sential,

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>but that she I mean, so you feel like she's

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>disappointed in you for not trying.

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:34.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's so what's her deal?

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>What like what's this woman's ideal life?

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Does she is she like absolutely? Because is she like

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>absolutely in love? Where are you where? I mean, don't

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>give me the don't give me a logitude, lad to?

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>But what state are you in?

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Ohio?

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You're in Ohio? Okay? Is she?

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Is?

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>She in love with the great state of Ohio and

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>she's in Ohio for die Ohio till I die?

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're trying to get out of here.

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right? So so she's so is it well,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>so like, is it like, uh, I'm leaving behind my

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 1>friends and my family for you to pursue this dream

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville? Or is it like Nashville that sounds fun,

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Nashville.

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like, oh, that's fun, let's go to Nashville.

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>But for me, I can't I can't help but interpret

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 2>it as this greater sacrifice, you know what I mean.

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Both of us have like all of our families around

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>here and stuff like that, and Nashville is not too

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>far of a drive, like we'll be up here like

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>semi frequently. It's not like we won't see friends, we

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>won't see family. You know, a lot of friends already

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 2>live in other cities and other states and stuff like that.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Just at this game, in the game of life and whatnot.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, that's not really like a big concern,

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 2>but I can't help but feel like like that she's

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>giving me this opportunity and stuff like that is therefore

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 2>indicative of like a loss of some other dream or

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 2>idea of life that she might have had.

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, I have a few things I want to say.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>First of all, getting I don't want to be like

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>negative about like the I'll touch on aspect. I'll touch

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 1>on the aspect later. About like I mean, I don't

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>know if you listen to the show, but I've ran

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of I feel like I've talked a bunch

0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>about like the whole you know, like jobs in industry.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Thing feels like it's very very very like remote more

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 1>than it's like location dependent. But that's enough. I'm actually

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of more like what like again, like, what what

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is this woman's dream life? Like if she was like,

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>what is what does this woman want that of life,

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and in what way do you believe that you are

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>an impediment to that? Like, like you've told me, all

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you've really told me right now is that she's moved.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>She's she's moving to Nashville. Like I want to know,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>like what she what you feel like she is sacrificing,

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Like what's her dream life? And in what way are

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you getting in the way of it? Or or in

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 1>what way do you believe you're getting in the way

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of it?

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, her coort thing above anything is like, you know, family, Like, Okay,

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 2>that's one thing. So I definitely kind of feel like

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>a little I guess, maybe not guilt, but just that

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>we're moving away from our our family and people that

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 2>we're close to. But I you know, I that's kind

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 2>of just the way of moving and getting out of

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>way and whatnot.

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 4>But she's but her dream Yeah, go ahead, I was

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 4>gonna I was gonna say, like her dream life is

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 4>I guess like she wants to be more in a

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 4>city where like it's happening, you know what I mean,

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 4>Like in Lava to New York.

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>And Nashville of Florida, Cunting, which is great where we're

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 2>going Yeah, yeah, I think I feel it more like

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I I can't even like fully articulate it other than

0:12:53.480 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like, you know, she does find actially

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 2>support me ratioed, you know, more than like I am

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>supporting her and stuff like that. Okay, so I kind

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>of feel like, maybe not that she's sacrificing something for me,

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>but that I really feel a pressure to, yes, pull

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 2>it off, you know, to get to where I ideally

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>want to because she's doing so much to allow me

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.439
<v Speaker 2>to take the chance to try.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, I give you mean so well, Okay,

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a few things. It's like, yeah, if her if her

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>dream is to go to the place where it's happening, uh,

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that's it's then yes, Nashville is going to be a

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>better time for her than ohio I the angle of

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>like this move is a sacrifice for her, Like, I

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's I think my my assessment is that like,

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>this woman clearly loves you. Some woman clearly like has

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just like this woman just clearly as someone who loves

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>you has a vested interest in your well being and

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in your thriving. And you, as as a person who

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>loves this woman, have you have a vested interest in

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>wanting to show through action your gratefulness to her for

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the support she's giving you out of the love that

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>she has for her. And I think I think both

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of those feelings are are good, are are our respectable,

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>valid feelings to have. But I don't think that they

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>have to drive you insane, you know what I mean.

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that they have to cause you to spiral.

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I think you have a nice motivation and the and

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you have lots of reasons to like not

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>fuck off and like, you know, sig out all day

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it is. But but the pressure of like

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I need to get a job in music production in Nashville.

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't even know what that looks like.

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>But I just she just she doesn't By the way,

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this this woman just wants you to

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>have your mo Like you you sound like, tell me

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>if there's a fair assessment. But it sounds like you're

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>like you're looking for your mojo a little bit, you're

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking for your It sounds a little bit

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like you're looking for your mojo. This this lady, she

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>loves it. She wants you to have your mojo. She

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>wants you to like have the things in your life

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that make you feel like you're you're thriving as a

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>human being and contributing in the relationship. And and even

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>if and the thing and even if you can't find

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>this specific thing, she just wants she wants to probably

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>see that you're trying, and you want to see that

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you're trying. But if you go into this like outcome dependent,

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>as they say, you just gonna spiral and go insane.

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you go into the if you go

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>into this like I need to get a job in

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the music industry in Nashville or else, my wife's sacrifice

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of what else, my wife's horrible sacrifice of moving to

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>from Ohio to Nashville will be in vain. Then you

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>can spiral, you know what I mean? Like just just

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>put in, just put it, like be like in be

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>like input dependent, right, be like Okay, I can't fuck around,

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>like I gotta I gotta apply to gigs. I gotta

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>work on my music. Like when you know, if i'm

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm like at home on my laptop, like let

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>me do fucking And she's like making uh, she's like

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>has a long shift as a nurse, Like let me

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>do the laundry, let me clean, let me do the chores,

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>let me ask her if she needs anything, like like

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>be like be in service of her the best way

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that you can be by both being in service of

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>yourself and being in service of her. The ways you

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.399
<v Speaker 1>can be like that's all shit that you should be

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like thinking about, not like I need to get this

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>job or else. If I if I don't get this

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 1>specific job, I'm fucked right. It's just like, how can

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>how can you keep like being in service to the

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>relationship by like improving yourself as a human being and

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>improving like and you know, just like try like ways

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>in which you, as her partner, can like bear the

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>load of her existence. You know, So as long as

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>you do those things, you'll be fine. Because I have

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>bad dudes, You're probably gonna apply to a thousand because

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>like because if you say to your because if you

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>follow that method, there's like a way you can do

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 1>it that that'll make you and her feel like, you know,

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.679
<v Speaker 1>it's happening, you're working towards it, you're doing it. But

0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>if you but but you might send out a thousand

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>applecations to like work in like film production, music in Nashville.

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You might just you might just get rejected from all

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 1>of them, like it's a crazy thing. Like that's very

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>outcome independent. But like you can but you can choose

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll just unrepeat myself now, but you can choose like two,

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 1>be there for her when she needs it and be

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>there for yourself when you need it. And that's a

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit more input dependent. And so as long as

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>you're as long as you're like the like like you

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>should replace the pressure of like pressure and outcome independence

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>into like what's the good what's a good word? Put

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it into more like motivation for your inputs, right, because

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it they because one is just like a spirally crazy

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>feeling and the other one is like, oh shit, we

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.679
<v Speaker 1>got something going. I'm gonna fucking try to be you know,

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.320

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 1>such a different I wish every I wish everyone who

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>listens to this podcast could listen, could just you could

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.479
<v Speaker 1>like be in my body while I'm recording it. They

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>would have they would have such a different experience of

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>it that I do. I feel like I can tell.

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I just can tell that it was a good guy.

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.360
<v Speaker 1>All these calls I've been I read the comments. I shouldn't,

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 1>but I all these calls they feel and sometimes I'll

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 1>go back. I'll listen because I'm insane. I won't listen

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 1>to the whole thing. But like if I read a

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>comment and they're like you were doing this, I'll listen

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be like, oh, that sounded a lot like

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I'll listen to a conversation like oh, when I'm like

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>listening to it, that sounds so different than how it

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>felt to be in the conversation, you know what I mean?

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:29.679

<v Speaker 1>a crazy existential crisis. I now must fall asleep with

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.160

<v Speaker 1>your laugh because you know exactly what I mean, Like

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I've learned that, and I've like I should

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 1>have been. I should have been doing this all along.

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not a big like background noise music guy

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>up until like a year ago, and now I must

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 1>always have something on. Are you like that?

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I I love I love white noise. Like I'll have

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 3>my fan on or sometimes I'll play YouTube on my phone.

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know, like but sometimes like you know,

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 3>like anxiety and stuff. I'm just going through some ship

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.880
<v Speaker 3>right now. It's just like freaking me out.

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:08.760

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't mean it. I wanted to talk about

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the thing, but this time, but this, but this time.

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna be honest. Sometimes I

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>ask that question and I don't mean it. I usually

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about the thing, but this time, in

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment, I mean and I mean it. If you

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to talk about it, we talked about whatever

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:33.080

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 3>call in and talk about it. But yeah, So like

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 3>last Tuesday, my wife told me she wants to like

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 3>either end things or like just take a break from

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 3>all everything. M And it.

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Was like all of a sudden for me because.

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 3>Like the past three weeks before that she was like

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:12.399
<v Speaker 3>perfectly happy, perfectly fine. I was like, what, well, She's like,

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm just emotionally exhausted. You do these things and it's

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:21.680
<v Speaker 3>just like that's a lot for me, And like you

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 3>had to like pull up her phone and tell me

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 3>like what those things were. And she's right, she's right

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 3>like the stuff she said, she's right, and she brought

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.199
<v Speaker 3>it up last year too, and she also acknowledged that

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm improving upon them, but like I I haven't like

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 3>completely gotten better about those, like I admit, like she's

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 3>still hurting because of it.

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>But.

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, uh, so sorry, I'm kind of nervous, like.

0:26:54.840 --> 0:27:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, no, well okay, so immediately questions.

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So she said, all right, so just to recap, she's

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 1>perfectly she's perfectly happy. Then she just hits you with

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the like yo, I gotta leave because of And then

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.159
<v Speaker 1>she pulls out her phone and she has notes she

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>wrote she prepared for the conversation. She wrote down a

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 1>list of these things which she had brought up to

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you a year ago. And then she and then she

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:28.439
<v Speaker 1>is saying to you, I want to give you, I

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>want to give you credit. I see that you've been

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to approve upon these things. I think you are,

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>but it's not enough for me, and so I gotta go.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>That's that's was her. That's kind of what's.

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 6>Going I feel like, yeah, that's that's kind of the

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 6>gist of it. But I feel like for her, it's

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 6>just I think she has a hard time confronting me

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 6>about these things. I try to be open and welcoming

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 6>and be like hey, like, but I still I feel

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 6>like she has a hard time with this, and it

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 6>just sucks to know that.

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Hy be with the list what are the things?

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh so one of them is like, so'm I kind

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 3>of fixate on things, like to the point where it's obsessive.

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Like suppose if I'm doing the dishes, I'll be like, oh,

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 3>the dishes need to be done this exact way. That's

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 3>what that way it's the most optimized. I know it's

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 3>fucking ridiculous, Like I acknowledge that, but it's like a

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:32.880
<v Speaker 3>problem I'm trying to unlearn. So I'll be like doing

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 3>the dish. I'll be like, Okay, the sick needs to

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 3>turn on now, then turn turn turn off now, so

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't I don't waste too much water. I got

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 3>to use this much dish soap, so I don't waste it.

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes she'll be doing the dishes, I'll be chilling

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 3>in the living room and like I'll be watching her,

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 3>which is extremely shitty. I know, but like again, like

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 3>that's like a habit I'm like trying to unlearn. It's

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 3>like it just that in everything where I just fixate

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.600
<v Speaker 3>and I try to like elver and it's not coming

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 3>from a place I am ending up controlling that, But

0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not coming from a place of trying to control her.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 3>It's more so like I'm just like so fixated on

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 3>like that being done that way.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:16.239
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, m how old are you?

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Nine?

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Has this been a problem your entire life?

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this is I think I did have

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 3>fixations when I was younger, and I used to do

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 3>certain things like I don't know if fixation is the

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 3>right word, but I had certain things I used to do,

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 3>like when I was.

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 2>A kid.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes why I would put a book down, I would

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 3>pick it up again, put it back down, and I

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 3>would do it like four times exactly or five times exactly. Yeah,

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I did that for a bunch. I think OCD is

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 3>the term for it. Yeah, yeah, but I used to

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 3>do the growing up, uh, And then throughout my college life,

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I was like a very messy guy, like wash everywhere.

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 3>But then I saw her stepmom a couple of years ago,

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 3>and I saw how she cleaned as she went, and

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 3>then she hung out with everyone. She was socializing and

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 3>then cleaning as she went, And I think something flicked

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 3>in my brain where I was like, I can't be

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 3>living like this like with this girl and we're growing up.

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't be living like a dumb ass like I

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 3>got to grow up. And I think it became very

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 3>intense after that point, where I was like way on

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 3>top of like keeping the house clean and everything, and

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I think like that's when this started happening.

0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Mmm, how long have you been with your wife, like

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 1>including dating, like.

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wife careers three years?

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Three years? Yeah, okay, when do you first notice that

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>this was a problem for you?

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 3>When she brought it up last year?

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>M And is she okay?

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 2>So this is this?

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Is this the main thing? Or it's kind of like

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>is there more to Is there more that she put

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>on her notes.

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 3>At Yeah, I'm trying to think. I think her note

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 3>was more her a just more like like her being

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 3>like sharing her emotions with me, like how she was

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.959
<v Speaker 3>being hurt, but I didn't get much points across it.

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:50.440
<v Speaker 3>I think it was more like there were certain things

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I would say certain times, and they were all like

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 3>boiling up to a point where like she felt dis exhausted,

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 3>and I just wish like you would tell me more

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 3>often like hey, well, what the fuck why did you

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 3>say that? Or something i've so I would be like, yeah,

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 3>why why the fuck did I say that, rather than

0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 3>like it's coming up to a point where like at

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 3>oil all like piled up and it all came out

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 3>at once.

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>M hm. So did you respond by being like, let's

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>try to fix it.

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I did.

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:38.239
<v Speaker 3>I I still am and I have been afraid of

0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 3>therapy for the longest time. It's it's funny I'm calling

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 3>the therapy that I know you're not a real therapist.

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I listened to you all the time, and I'm afraid

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 3>of therapy.

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I got the sense that you might not have been

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:53.959
<v Speaker 1>to therapy when you said I think this might be

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 1>something called OCD.

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know the term, right, Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 3>coming back to the conversation, Yeah, I've been afraid of

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.360
<v Speaker 3>therapy for the longestime. It was it's not that I

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 3>don't think it works. I know it works.

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 2>It's more so.

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 3>The process of finding the right therapist, Like what if

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 3>someone is like more like a yes man or someone

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 3>is not compatible and I gotta go through multiple people.

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean therapy therapy is fine, but okay, So I

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>mean no, I think you should go to you should

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you should, you should a real therapist. You should always

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 1>always go to you should always to a therapist. You

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>should always go to a real therapist. I just like

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in my person I just in my personal I mean,

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I like doing this. I like talking to people and

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 1>doing doing fake what I don't know whatever this is.

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I like doing it just talking. But in my own

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 1>personal life, therapy therapy is fine. But okay, when did

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:16.399
<v Speaker 1>you tell you this.

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:19.800
<v Speaker 3>The last Tuesday?

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.680

<v Speaker 1>Okay, what's your life like outside of your wife?

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 3>M So, I'm kind of think of a way of

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:39.839
<v Speaker 3>saying this without giving out too much.

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:43.160

<v Speaker 1>rather the first round of notes?

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Again?

<v Speaker 3>What was the second round?

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:26.680
<v Speaker 1>It was the second round? It was a second round notes?

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because like remember I told you she told me

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 3>this last Tuesday and she brought it up, or like

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 3>she she first told me this a year ago. She

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 3>had a note ready at that time as well.

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah okay, okay, but what I'm asking is is this

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:45.839
<v Speaker 1>okay yeah, okay, No, you're right, it's a second round

0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>of notes. You you improved, meaning it's a second round

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of notes. So how did it make you feel, what

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:54.839
<v Speaker 1>did you what was your reaction? How did you like?

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 6>What?

0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>What? What were the results of the reflection.

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 3>I was surprised at first, and then I was like, no,

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:06.799
<v Speaker 3>I gotta I gotta fix this. But then like, I

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 3>have a close friend I talked to him about this.

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 3>She she also told me to like talk to that

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.799
<v Speaker 3>friend to like reflect on this and everything. I talked

0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:18.720
<v Speaker 3>to him about it, and like, I'll I have these issues.

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 3>But if I like obviously again, like I am gonna

0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 3>go to therapy. After having this discussion, I realized, like,

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 3>even if like like she does not want to continue

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 3>anything with me, I'm not doing.

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:33.400
<v Speaker 2>It just for her.

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I think I need to improve these things, like anyway,

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:51.640
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, other than that, what else didn't make me feel? Yeah,

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I need to improve. I need to go to therapy.

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:58.960
<v Speaker 3>And I wish she would I I wish she would

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:01.720
<v Speaker 3>have told me this soon so I could have worked

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:03.960
<v Speaker 3>on it, because I'm willing to work and improved. Like,

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.960
<v Speaker 3>but if I don't know like what I am doing wrong,

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't fix it.

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you asked her if you can have another

0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 1>chance to improve, and she wasn't buying it.

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So basically by the end of it. What happened

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.800
<v Speaker 3>is like I told her like, hey, I will improve

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 3>on everything, and he was like ready to end things

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:28.319
<v Speaker 3>at that time. But then like she's she was like

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 3>surprised by the way I acted. She thought I would

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 3>lash out. I'd be like, how could you do this

0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 3>to me? And everything that she was surprised, like how

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:36.640
<v Speaker 3>like I was recepted to it, and like I took

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 3>the criticism, which is like odd in and of itself,

0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:44.120
<v Speaker 3>because like every conversation we had, I tried to be

0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:47.800
<v Speaker 3>receptive and like understand sometimes I would be defensive. I

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 3>think that was defensive in this conversation too at first,

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 3>but then like as she kept on clarify, I was, no,

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:56.920
<v Speaker 3>she's right, but yeah, you're surprised about.

0:38:56.680 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>That, okay. So so she said, She's like, okay, I'll

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 1>give you another chance. So she has given you another

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 1>chance to show that you can improve yourself.

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she So she said she's gonna take this weekend,

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 3>which is she's doing right now. She's gonna a close

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 3>friend of her picked her up. They went to her place,

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 3>and she wants to like have some space and talk

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 3>about this, to have more clarity about this. Then she's

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:29.879
<v Speaker 3>gonna talk to her therapist about this on Monday. Then

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:34.920
<v Speaker 3>she's gonna let me know her like decision is on

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 3>this after that.

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm hmmm. I'm collecting my thoughts about this because

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I've I've been in a similar ish situation where somebody

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 1>is like, what, well, no, just I mean. I feel

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:52.279
<v Speaker 1>like everyone has been in a relationship has been in

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 1>like a situation at some point where they're like, hey,

0:39:55.640 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 1>there's this aspect of your existence that like bothers me

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and I would like you to try to change it.

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:10.400
<v Speaker 1>And you go like, okay, I'm going to make efforts

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to change it, and you think you're doing what you

0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>think you're doing a good job to change it, and

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you also have to decide the most important, by the way,

0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:24.799
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing of this is like you kind

0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of you. You have the same mirror of like which

0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:33.879
<v Speaker 1>is like your part of your partner, and they're like, hey,

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't lie on like this aspect of you is

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not happy about it, and you have

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to look at it. And if you look you might

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>look at it and go, that's not that big of

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a deal, or you might look at it and be like,

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I know right. I hate that about me too, God,

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I suck. And if it's the second one, then it's

0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a pretty easy healthy thing to be like, oh I

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 1>got to improve that. But I'm also I'm also kind

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:06.440
<v Speaker 1>of there's certain things where I'm like, listen, I can

0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:10.840
<v Speaker 1>do I have kind of like I know my limits

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, Okay, I've exhausted my limits of how

0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:21.520
<v Speaker 1>good at this thing I think I can be. There's

0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:24.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different because man, in a relationship, there's

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:27.239
<v Speaker 1>like oh billion different roles and things and desire, like

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>so many variables at play, and it's like, listen, I

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 1>can do this that the other thing. I could be this,

0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I could be that, I could do that, I could

0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:35.400
<v Speaker 1>be that, I can this the other thing. And you

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 1>have to also have to be able to look at

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:39.920
<v Speaker 1>this shit and be like okay, So for the OCD thing,

0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at it and be like, can

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I really change that or do I need like do

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I need to just accept that it's part of me?

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 1>And do I have to be like Okay, I accept

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that this is like I've done the best of my ability.

0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>This is where I'm at. Are you aligned on this?

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And if she goes no I just fucking can't do it.

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's be like, okay, all right, this is very

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is fair, which sucks ass.

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:09.959
<v Speaker 2>But.

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Like, do you think like I guess, I'm like, do

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you think whatever my part like guess it's her if

0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 3>she decides to end it at someone in the future,

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 3>do you think it's shared to them? Like whoever my

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 3>partner may be that like I am like doing these

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:29.760
<v Speaker 3>to them and they're hurting.

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:38.759
<v Speaker 1>No, well, fair well, affair is a weird word. I

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:42.279
<v Speaker 1>mean you're be like like you're talking like I'm just

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:44.840
<v Speaker 1>using as an example, I'm using like watching her do

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the dishes Like, no, it's like fair. I don't. I

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:56.680
<v Speaker 1>don't like the word fair, but like it like she does.

0:42:56.800 --> 0:43:00.680
<v Speaker 1>If she's in this relationship and she's emotionally exhausted because

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:04.359
<v Speaker 1>you keep watching her to do the dishes. And then

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you if you if you look at your now listen,

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:09.719
<v Speaker 1>if you look at yourself, you should probably you should

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 1>probably be able to look at yourself and go it's

0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 1>probably not great, and you actually did that in this call.

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Even look at yourself and be like, it's not great

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that I watched my wife do the dishes. I'd like

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to stop doing that, and you can probably find it

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 1>within yourself to stop doing that, you know. And then

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:27.799
<v Speaker 1>if she sees you, like, if she actually notices that

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it's getting better than great, But if she doesn't and

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:34.279
<v Speaker 1>she keeps asking and she kind of has hit this

0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 1>point where she's like, you haven't improved enough for me,

0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>then you know, yeah, sure, it's it's yes, fair to

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.319
<v Speaker 1>walk away, I mean fair.

0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 3>The other thing is I just wish she would have

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 3>told me this earlier, like, rather than it boiling to

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:02.440
<v Speaker 3>a point where she's got her and exhausted. It just

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 3>sucks that, like it came to a point where she

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 3>felt like that and then she told me mm hmm. Communication. Yeah, yeah,

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 3>communication is very important in relationships.

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Of course, yeah, that does. It is, No, I I

0:44:17.760 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 1>totally what you mean, and so yeah, you're you're entitled

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:27.759
<v Speaker 1>to feel that way. And then she's going to go

0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:30.920
<v Speaker 1>off and she's going to be like, well, do I

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 1>want to keep making this work?

0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Do I want Do I love this guy enough that

0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to keep making this work? And if the

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 1>answer is yes, then great, then you can keep making

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>a work. But if the answer is no, it's a

0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:45.279
<v Speaker 1>fun it's fucking hard. I mean, I don't want to

0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:48.320
<v Speaker 1>sit here and uh, I don't want to do a

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Calshy esque bet on whether or not go for you again.

0:44:54.719 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah.

0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But if but if she doesn't, like, it's gonna to

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.239
<v Speaker 1>just just so you know, man, if she doesn't I

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be like it's fucking fucking fucking devastating. But yeah,

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:17.600
<v Speaker 1>but it just wasn't. It just wasn't aligned for you,

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:19.319
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, it just wasn't. It's just

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like I feel like I feel like, yeah, so

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:26.919
<v Speaker 1>much relationships just about like like a lot, like dude,

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it's weird. Like there's there's the kind of the two

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:34.000
<v Speaker 1>pillars of like alignment and work and sometimes you just

0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>have ship of part Also like alignment means a billion

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:41.280
<v Speaker 1>different things. Alignment also means like what are two people

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:46.520
<v Speaker 1>willing to put up with? Right? Like what are two

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:48.239
<v Speaker 1>people willing to put up with? And you have to

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>decide what you're willing to put up with? And if

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you're willing and everyone everyone, but every like there's no

0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 1>unless if you're amazing and perfect, no relationship has two

0:45:57.920 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>people that don't put up with anything.

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 2>So like yeah, yeah, so.

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Like your wife is deciding what she's willing to put

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:14.360
<v Speaker 1>up with, and she might she might decide that there's

0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:16.560
<v Speaker 1>too much that she doesn't want, and she doesn't. Then

0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the the amount that she loves you and wants to

0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 1>make it worth is not more than what she's willing

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to put up with. And that just means you're not aligned.

0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.080
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't, It doesn't as I don't think you should

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:32.760
<v Speaker 1>take it as like a like just don't walk away

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:36.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking you're a broken person or that you use to

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.239
<v Speaker 1>the years incorrectly, you know what I mean. It's just

0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just alignment and and and there's a certain level

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 1>of alignment that work can just keep overcoming. But then

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:51.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain distance of alignment that work just fucking

0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:58.720
<v Speaker 1>just can't. Yeah, go past and her threshold, Yeah go ahead, I'm.

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Rambling, Yeah, yeah, no, No, you're fine. Like this is

0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 3>all like like solid shit like like helps me. I

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 3>think about this sole discal perspective. I appreciate it. But

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 3>so she she is, I'm gonna like she's gonna be

0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:22.279
<v Speaker 3>back here Sunday, h so tomorrow, and then she's gonna

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:24.440
<v Speaker 3>talk to her therapist on Monday, and I think she's

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:27.439
<v Speaker 3>gonna reflect on this a little bit, then she's gonna

0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:33.000
<v Speaker 3>give me her answer. But I was thinking on Sunday

0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:36.239
<v Speaker 3>I could sit down with her and I could discuss

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:38.800
<v Speaker 3>some of the stuff I was discussing with you about,

0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 3>like the communication, where like, hey, if you like brought

0:47:43.040 --> 0:47:48.160
<v Speaker 3>this up earlier. I know it's like like hard to

0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.440
<v Speaker 3>bring it up over and over again, But if if

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:52.399
<v Speaker 3>you were able to bring this up earlier, I would

0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:54.799
<v Speaker 3>have and the more precise I would have been able

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:57.120
<v Speaker 3>to understand, like, hey, these are the things I'm doing wrong,

0:47:57.520 --> 0:48:02.400
<v Speaker 3>rather than it being get to a boiling put like

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I guess that some of the stuff,

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Like I was thinking of bringing it up on Sunday

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 3>before she talks to her terrapist, so she could like

0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 3>so it's those things with her from like it would

0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:17.839
<v Speaker 3>be the additional points. Do you what do you think

0:48:17.840 --> 0:48:18.239
<v Speaker 3>about that?

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Of course, I mean that's your that's your piece.

0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, give your peace, that's your piece, right.

0:48:24.840 --> 0:48:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Give your piece?

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, because yeah, because like otherwise it's gonna for

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:31.000
<v Speaker 3>like it's gonna bother me for a lot, like hate,

0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:37.759
<v Speaker 3>like she's not understand this aspect of listen.

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Totally give your I mean, give your give your piece.

0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't want to lash out right, and

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 1>then you're not. I don't even sound like you do.

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:47.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't even sound like lashing out. Yeah, you don't

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:50.520
<v Speaker 1>sound like lashing out is even anywhere near your your consciousness.

0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, speak your that's the speak your piece,

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:55.279
<v Speaker 1>and you have a fair piece.

0:48:56.000 --> 0:48:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And then.

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Be be prepared, be prepared for your peace to not

0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>be good enough. Be prepared for your peace to not

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:06.759
<v Speaker 1>be good enough. But also what you just said to

0:52:00.760 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 1>there's all this is all personal experience I'm drawing from. Okay,

0:52:05.360 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 1>If you if you have anxiety and you're haven't and

0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you're staying up until seven o'clock in the morning, if

0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>your anxiety, first of all, if your anxiety that means

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:19.839
<v Speaker 1>you're walking around being anxious about stupid ship all day

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and your brain's trained for that. And then when you

0:52:22.480 --> 0:52:24.800
<v Speaker 1>actually like and then once and then now you actually

0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:27.600
<v Speaker 1>have something to be anxious about. I mean, it'll drive

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you insane, of course, so you should probably you're probably

0:52:31.440 --> 0:52:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you should go see a psychiatrist, get a little something just.

0:52:36.040 --> 0:52:41.480
<v Speaker 2>To help out. A psychiatrist or yes, the steps you.

0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Should see a therapist. And you see a psychiatrist, don't

0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:49.440
<v Speaker 1>tell them that you spoke to a lizard on the

0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:50.800
<v Speaker 1>phone and that's.

0:52:50.600 --> 0:52:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Why you're here.

0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that's yeah. Do you you got Oh you've

0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:00.640
<v Speaker 1>said your friends are spread out, all you gotta be around. Also,

0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 1>here's another thing is I know we've been on the

0:53:05.520 --> 0:53:07.120
<v Speaker 1>phone for a while, but and I know we're on

0:53:07.120 --> 0:53:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the phone for a while. I know I say this

0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 1>in literally every single episode of the podcast, but like

0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you should you should find a community of other people

0:53:14.239 --> 0:53:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to be around so that you're not alone with your thoughts.

0:53:18.480 --> 0:53:22.759
<v Speaker 1>That's a horrible way to live. You should find find

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>some of the people.

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Texas.

0:53:25.040 --> 0:53:28.520
<v Speaker 1>You're in Texas, Texas. Texas has all kinds of ship.

0:53:29.400 --> 0:53:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Do some ship?

0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:31.160
<v Speaker 3>It does?

0:53:31.480 --> 0:53:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:53:32.239 --> 0:53:36.160
<v Speaker 3>But see, the thing is like Kurr and I we

0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 3>were we live in one city, and we were thinking

0:53:38.160 --> 0:53:41.440
<v Speaker 3>of moving to another city to get a house over there.

0:53:42.200 --> 0:53:45.080
<v Speaker 3>And I still want to move to that city anyway,

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:50.319
<v Speaker 3>regardless of the outcome. Uh So, That's why I was like,

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:53.520
<v Speaker 3>it's a few more months, like should I try building

0:53:53.560 --> 0:53:55.840
<v Speaker 3>community here or should I just go there like a

0:53:56.320 --> 0:54:01.880
<v Speaker 3>band over there? And I gave up so much. I

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:06.120
<v Speaker 3>don't want to give out more. But it's another city

0:54:06.160 --> 0:54:07.680
<v Speaker 3>in Texas, one of the big cities.

0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:10.879
<v Speaker 1>It's one of Okay, it's all like I mean, by

0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:16.839
<v Speaker 1>the way you you specific you specifying that you work

0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:21.239
<v Speaker 1>a big tech job in Austin does not give out

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:23.160
<v Speaker 1>as much information about you as you think it does.

0:54:23.239 --> 0:54:27.439
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, okay, yeah, okay, whatever, Austin. I'm gonna pretend

0:54:27.480 --> 0:54:30.399
<v Speaker 1>it's Austin, Austin, Austin, Houston, ends all the billion things

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 1>to do. Yeah, yeah, you'll I'm not gonna I'm not

0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:38.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit you with the you'll be fine, man, but

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna hit you. I'm not gonna hit you

0:54:41.760 --> 0:54:43.840
<v Speaker 1>with the you'll be fine, but I will hit you

0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:50.759
<v Speaker 1>with the I see a path forward for you positively that,

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:55.240
<v Speaker 1>if followed, may potentially lead to you being fine.

0:54:58.239 --> 0:54:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I hopefully too.

0:54:59.400 --> 0:55:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I just like me right now, I'm like, I really

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:06.120
<v Speaker 3>want this to work, but I also know if I

0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:08.960
<v Speaker 3>push it too much, it's actually unhealthy. So I'll time

0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:10.480
<v Speaker 3>my best and see what it happened.

0:55:11.360 --> 0:55:13.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, man, is there anything else you wus say?

0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:19.319
<v Speaker 1>The people in the computer before we go, get bless Hey,

0:55:19.320 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you man, I appreciate you. Have a good one,

0:55:21.000 --> 0:55:23.960

<v Speaker 1>and you.

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:31.359

<v Speaker 1>Luck, brother, take care. It's a nice guy. Hm hmm.

0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think we can identify if we

0:55:44.480 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 1>can identify him just based on the fact that he

0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:51.600
<v Speaker 1>works a big tech job in Austin. What's going on last?

0:55:51.600 --> 0:55:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And they have they have guitars every city in the planet,

0:55:58.280 --> 0:56:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually know. I've I used to be a big

0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:05.439
<v Speaker 1>every place is the same person. I don't think that's true.

0:56:05.480 --> 0:56:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I think different places are different, they have different they

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>have stuff. You know what I would say, Actually, you

0:56:14.680 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go on record

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:18.359
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast. I'm gonna say I know I talk

0:56:18.400 --> 0:56:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot about traveling. I'm gonna actually say travel. Uh,

0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:28.120
<v Speaker 1>travel narrows down your horizons. You know, if you've not

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I actually you if you've never been anywhere, then you

0:56:32.560 --> 0:56:35.319
<v Speaker 1>get to live in the beautiful imagination of what could be.

0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:40.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, don't shout, don't travel and shatter your illusions

0:56:40.920 --> 0:56:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of what could be by learning what is. What is

0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:47.160
<v Speaker 1>will never be as good as what can be. So

0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:50.359
<v Speaker 1>just stick with what could be. Just sit in your

0:56:50.440 --> 0:56:54.160
<v Speaker 1>room all day, not doing anything, dreaming of what could be,

0:56:55.960 --> 0:57:04.399
<v Speaker 1>and never shatter it by learning what is? Hello there,

<v Speaker 1>okay for me, I feel good. I'm trying to do

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 1>more and I never found I never feel like I'm

0:58:56.240 --> 0:58:59.280
<v Speaker 1>doing enough. I was gonna do more, so I'm doing. Yeah.

0:58:59.600 --> 0:59:02.360
<v Speaker 5>I kind of feel the same way. It's you get

0:59:02.440 --> 0:59:03.680
<v Speaker 5>kind of complacent in life.

0:59:03.520 --> 0:59:04.080
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.

0:59:04.320 --> 0:59:05.600
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, Yeah, you can't do that.

0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:09.640
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes you get complacent. That's that's how I felt here recently.

0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Why have you been feeling complacent?

0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:17.640
<v Speaker 5>I've been at the same job for since twenty eighteen.

0:59:18.320 --> 0:59:20.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean, this is the only job I've ever had

0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:23.640
<v Speaker 5>outside of high school, and it's uh, I'm trying to

0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:27.120
<v Speaker 5>get my so I'm trying to drive a truck and uh,

0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:31.160
<v Speaker 5>I've got a disability and the state's make an hour

0:59:31.280 --> 0:59:33.200
<v Speaker 5>for me, and so it's kind of like it's just

0:59:33.240 --> 0:59:36.840
<v Speaker 5>pushing me back even further and further, and uh, I

0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:38.640
<v Speaker 5>just feel like I'm going to be stuck here forever.

0:59:38.680 --> 0:59:46.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, hm, hmmm, what would you want to do

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:49.200
<v Speaker 1>were you if you were not stuck there?

0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:55.800
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, ideally I would like to work in it, but

0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:58.200
<v Speaker 5>just for I guess.

0:59:58.000 --> 0:59:59.840
<v Speaker 3>The time constraints to.

0:59:59.800 --> 1:00:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Get a better paying job quicker, I'd probably drive a truck.

1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:07.240
<v Speaker 5>My dad owns a business, he owns a trucking company,

1:00:07.800 --> 1:00:09.640
<v Speaker 5>and so I would like to take that over someday

1:00:09.680 --> 1:00:12.320
<v Speaker 5>and who knows, hopefully retire early.

1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Nice man. So okay. So typically the whole thing of like,

1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>oh I should be doing more comes from some thing

1:00:20.040 --> 1:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of like comparing who you are now to who you

1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>could be, like your kind of dream version of yourself, right,

1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Like who is that? What does that look like?

1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

1:00:31.200 --> 1:00:36.200
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, it's somebody who makes more money. I know. It's

1:00:36.240 --> 1:00:39.160
<v Speaker 5>probably such a cliche thing to say, but it's like

1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:41.400
<v Speaker 5>money really does make the world go around, you know

1:00:41.440 --> 1:00:45.800
<v Speaker 5>what I mean. It's like I'm twenty six and I

1:00:45.920 --> 1:00:48.280
<v Speaker 5>unfortunately I still live with my parents. I save money,

1:00:48.320 --> 1:00:51.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, and it's not a bad situation. I love

1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 5>my parents, love them to death. I pay bills. I'm

1:00:55.280 --> 1:00:58.400
<v Speaker 5>not just living rent free, you know. But you know,

1:00:59.160 --> 1:01:01.480
<v Speaker 5>I'd like to it one point here in the near future,

1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 5>live on my own. I feel like I am in that,

1:01:04.360 --> 1:01:06.200
<v Speaker 5>uh that stage of lifehere. I'm ready to be on

1:01:06.240 --> 1:01:06.480
<v Speaker 5>my own.

1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1:01:08.520 --> 1:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>And which job did you say you work now?

1:01:12.640 --> 1:01:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I basically do inventory for a flooring company.

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmm hmm.

1:01:18.520 --> 1:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>What what would you try to do to make more money?

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:28.480
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, I should go to school, I uh, I was.

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 5>I was in school at one point for for cybersecurity.

1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:35.439
<v Speaker 5>And while at work, I fell and I hurt my leg.

1:01:35.480 --> 1:01:38.760
<v Speaker 5>I just located my knee and tore some ligaments, and

1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:41.040
<v Speaker 5>uh that that just kind of sent me back, and

1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:43.760
<v Speaker 5>I was I was never really able to restart school,

1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:47.320
<v Speaker 5>and so now I'm trying to, uh, as far as

1:01:47.480 --> 1:01:51.160
<v Speaker 5>plans go, should be getting my CDLs in May. That way,

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:53.040
<v Speaker 5>I can drive a truck and start making a little

1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:54.200
<v Speaker 5>more a little more money.

1:01:54.760 --> 1:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Cool. Cool, all right, so you have a plan.

1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:00.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, all right, Yeah, I'm I'm not just plan

1:02:00.960 --> 1:02:01.680
<v Speaker 5>less thankfully.

1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have this thing too where I'm like,

1:02:05.640 --> 1:02:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I also like every day I'm like, fuck, I wish

1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like getting more out of my days, you know.

1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm always but there's always like a but I

1:02:14.240 --> 1:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>always I feel like like I'm like a snail. But

1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>we're yeah, we're getting there, you know, as long as

1:02:23.800 --> 1:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like, as long as there's a vague direction and

1:02:27.720 --> 1:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I know that that things are in the works of

1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>they're vaguely we're vaguely moving forward in life somehow, then

1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay. It's when it's when I'm like, huh,

1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>if I repeat the same day over and over again,

1:02:44.440 --> 1:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that it's this day I just had, I'm going to

1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>be in the same place kind of thing.

1:02:48.360 --> 1:02:51.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, it's it's I think it's one of those

1:02:51.520 --> 1:02:55.400
<v Speaker 5>situations where you kind of have to learn from the

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:58.640
<v Speaker 5>things that you do in life. Yeah, it's like, you know,

1:02:58.720 --> 1:03:00.680
<v Speaker 5>you make a decision, you know, it not getting you

1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:03.480
<v Speaker 5>where you need to go. You can't make that decision again.

1:03:03.760 --> 1:03:06.439
<v Speaker 5>You need to make the better choice the next time.

1:03:07.520 --> 1:03:12.320
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's easier said than done, but it's ultimately

1:03:12.440 --> 1:03:14.440
<v Speaker 5>it is what needs to happen in my opinion.

1:03:15.120 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a good relationship with your parents that

1:03:20.280 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you live with.

1:03:22.120 --> 1:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I do. I have a very good relationship with them,

1:03:24.760 --> 1:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>all right.

1:03:25.160 --> 1:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like I love my parents. Yeah, yeah, okay,

1:03:29.640 --> 1:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>so it's did they do they drive you crazy?

1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>No?

1:03:33.760 --> 1:03:36.880
<v Speaker 5>Not really, man, I mean it's cool. I said. I'm like,

1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:38.680
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the day, I don't have an

1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:42.720
<v Speaker 5>issue living home. It's just a situation of I'm growing

1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 5>into being my own adult, you know, and it's like

1:03:45.480 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 5>I want to I would like to start my own life,

1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>you know.

1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, the way towards him, No, totally. I don't

1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>think there's any shame in doing it, you know, quote

1:03:57.240 --> 1:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>unquote late I mean, well, I mean it's a last shame.

1:03:59.920 --> 1:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I think. Also, like in most four in a lot

1:04:02.720 --> 1:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>of like foreign countries, it's like not like a lot

1:04:06.240 --> 1:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>of what we have in America of like when you

1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>turn eighteen, you're on your own, Like it's that's not

1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>how a lot of places operate. And it's becoming harder

1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and harder in America for people to operate like that.

1:04:21.200 --> 1:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there is still, like I feel like there

1:04:24.000 --> 1:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>is still opportunity in America for you know, dudes like

1:04:27.800 --> 1:04:33.280
<v Speaker 1>you who are like I want to, you know, achieve

1:04:33.720 --> 1:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that goal. And you know, I'm working towards it and

1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>this that and the other way, right, But it's like

1:04:39.080 --> 1:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's understandably harder than I think it once was.

1:04:47.520 --> 1:04:50.320
<v Speaker 5>I would agree. I mean, it's a lot of things.

1:04:50.400 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 5>Like I said, it comes down to money everything.

1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Nowadays, it definitely live you know, yeah, yeah, it's crazy

1:04:57.880 --> 1:04:58.920
<v Speaker 4>fucking expensive.

1:04:59.360 --> 1:05:03.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, And the I guess my big thing is

1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:05.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't I don't really want to live with roommates,

1:05:05.280 --> 1:05:07.919
<v Speaker 5>and so that doesn't that one doesn't help the case

1:05:07.960 --> 1:05:13.160
<v Speaker 5>any and so in my opinion, yeah, and in my opinion,

1:05:14.800 --> 1:05:17.640
<v Speaker 5>the American dream, you know, it's not to it's not

1:05:17.680 --> 1:05:21.160
<v Speaker 5>to live with the roommate until you go and get married. Now,

1:05:21.200 --> 1:05:23.640
<v Speaker 5>there's nothing wrong with it, and I wouldn't be necessarily

1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 5>opposed to it. I mean, I've got a friend who's

1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:27.400
<v Speaker 5>offered several times to let.

1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Me move in with him.

1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Really, I mean, it's my best friend, you know, Yeah, yeah, wait,

1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:34.600
<v Speaker 5>just because yeah.

1:05:34.440 --> 1:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>God good, Yeah, I'll let you finish first. I'll ask

1:05:36.360 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>my multiple questions.

1:05:38.440 --> 1:05:41.480
<v Speaker 5>I was saying, mainly just because he also he doesn't

1:05:41.520 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 5>think that he knows my family dynamic and everything. He

1:05:44.480 --> 1:05:47.440
<v Speaker 5>knows that he knows knows what's good. But he also

1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:49.439
<v Speaker 5>he knows that I'm ready to get out on my own,

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:53.320
<v Speaker 5>you know. So he's off, he's all, he's got his

1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:57.400
<v Speaker 5>own place. He's lived in an apartment for a three

1:05:57.480 --> 1:05:59.800
<v Speaker 5>four years now, and he's offered to let me move in.

1:06:00.120 --> 1:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>So okay, two things. What is what is your because

1:06:04.000 --> 1:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you're you're correct and saying that there is no like like,

1:06:07.080 --> 1:06:10.439
<v Speaker 1>what is your American dream? What's your idea of that

1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>for you?

1:06:14.120 --> 1:06:18.560
<v Speaker 5>For me, I want to be an entrepreneur. I don't

1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:21.120
<v Speaker 5>know if it's necessarily an entrepreneur would be the right

1:06:21.160 --> 1:06:23.000
<v Speaker 5>word for me. I would like to take over my

1:06:23.080 --> 1:06:23.760
<v Speaker 5>dad's business.

1:06:23.800 --> 1:06:24.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's fuck yeah, it's awesome.

1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:26.600
<v Speaker 5>It's one of those things where it's it's a it's

1:06:26.600 --> 1:06:30.080
<v Speaker 5>a good footing that's already already running and he's I mean,

1:06:30.120 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 5>he's probably about ten years to retirement. Cool, and I

1:06:33.280 --> 1:06:35.560
<v Speaker 5>would like to take over that business and kind of

1:06:35.600 --> 1:06:38.840
<v Speaker 5>get myself to the point where I could retire even

1:06:38.880 --> 1:06:41.280
<v Speaker 5>earlier than he's able to, because I don't want to

1:06:41.280 --> 1:06:45.120
<v Speaker 5>work till the day I die, you know what I mean. Yeah,

1:06:45.240 --> 1:06:48.040
<v Speaker 5>I'd like to be able to take time off, live

1:06:48.080 --> 1:06:50.360
<v Speaker 5>with my family, or see my family, live with him.

1:06:50.680 --> 1:06:52.200
<v Speaker 5>Just live in the moment, you know, not have to

1:06:52.200 --> 1:06:54.600
<v Speaker 5>worry about what Bill is going to get paid the

1:06:54.600 --> 1:06:56.280
<v Speaker 5>next day. Do I got to go to work in

1:06:56.560 --> 1:06:57.320
<v Speaker 5>a couple of days.

1:06:57.760 --> 1:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Now I'm not worried about you sound like

1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a smart you sound I don't. We've only spoken for

1:07:04.000 --> 1:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes. I'm not When I do this to people,

1:07:06.320 --> 1:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope people know I'm not like. I don't just

1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't like just say shit that I

1:07:09.960 --> 1:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>don't mean. I'm getting a sense from you that you're

1:07:14.280 --> 1:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a smart dude with integrity. So I think you'll be okay.

1:07:17.920 --> 1:07:19.760
<v Speaker 5>I like to I like to think, so, I like

1:07:19.800 --> 1:07:22.600
<v Speaker 5>to think. So M so I appreciate that, I really do.

1:07:23.160 --> 1:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm, well, so I guess the question now is like,

1:07:26.320 --> 1:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>because you're gonna go to school, It's like I don't

1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>know what your dad, what's your I don't know what

1:07:28.800 --> 1:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>your dad's businesses, But it's like, what can you what

1:07:31.480 --> 1:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>can you best do in the meantime to prepare yourself

1:07:34.920 --> 1:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>to be able to run it better.

1:07:39.840 --> 1:07:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I think, first off, I need to So it's a

1:07:44.120 --> 1:07:47.720
<v Speaker 5>trucking company, and first off, I need to, I guess,

1:07:47.800 --> 1:07:49.880
<v Speaker 5>learn the basics of tral things. I mean I need to.

1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:52.120
<v Speaker 5>I need to go through my classes with that, and

1:07:52.160 --> 1:07:54.000
<v Speaker 5>I need to get a little bit of experience on

1:07:54.040 --> 1:07:57.320
<v Speaker 5>the road I need. And then after once I kind

1:07:57.360 --> 1:07:59.480
<v Speaker 5>of get the basics down, I need to work with

1:07:59.560 --> 1:08:02.760
<v Speaker 5>him a little bit and learn some of the back ends.

1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Of the business. I need to.

1:08:03.960 --> 1:08:05.960
<v Speaker 5>I need to learn how much it costs, do you

1:08:06.000 --> 1:08:08.840
<v Speaker 5>know up keep a truck? Because I mean it's it's

1:08:08.880 --> 1:08:10.840
<v Speaker 5>not cheap. I mean I've seen it before, it it

1:08:10.840 --> 1:08:16.479
<v Speaker 5>ain't cheap. And then ideally, honestly, once I'm doing something

1:08:16.479 --> 1:08:18.000
<v Speaker 5>like that, I would like to get some sort of

1:08:18.160 --> 1:08:22.439
<v Speaker 5>degree in business of some sort. So even if even

1:08:22.479 --> 1:08:25.759
<v Speaker 5>if it doesn't work out with my with my dad's company,

1:08:26.160 --> 1:08:29.679
<v Speaker 5>for whatever reason that may be, I still have something

1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:31.640
<v Speaker 5>else I can fall back on where I don't just

1:08:31.680 --> 1:08:34.640
<v Speaker 5>have to sit in a truck for for ten to

1:08:34.720 --> 1:08:35.559
<v Speaker 5>twelve hours a day.

1:08:35.560 --> 1:08:41.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, So why are you okay, may dog? This

1:08:41.560 --> 1:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is my other question? Why are you so opposed to roommates.

1:08:47.040 --> 1:08:51.840
<v Speaker 5>H Honestly, it's so if it's somebody in the right situation,

1:08:52.520 --> 1:08:55.719
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't hate it, you know, like if it's somebody

1:08:55.760 --> 1:08:56.559
<v Speaker 5>that I'm friends with.

1:08:56.479 --> 1:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And everything, and now if I if.

1:08:59.800 --> 1:09:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Something happened, I got kicked out tomorrow and I had

1:09:03.320 --> 1:09:04.920
<v Speaker 5>to go to live with a roommate, I wouldn't hate it.

1:09:05.720 --> 1:09:08.320
<v Speaker 5>But sing with me, I just I would like to

1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:10.479
<v Speaker 5>live on my own if I'm not married or if

1:09:10.520 --> 1:09:13.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm not dating anybody, you know, I would like to

1:09:13.439 --> 1:09:15.439
<v Speaker 5>have a place that I can call my own. I

1:09:15.479 --> 1:09:19.439
<v Speaker 5>don't have to, I guess tiptoe around other people, you know.

1:09:21.880 --> 1:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.479
<v Speaker 5>It I may not, it may not make the most sense.

1:09:26.560 --> 1:09:29.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but I guess in my head, I

1:09:29.439 --> 1:09:31.760
<v Speaker 5>would just I would prefer to be able to have

1:09:31.800 --> 1:09:34.599
<v Speaker 5>my own place, you know, to truly make it my own.

1:09:35.200 --> 1:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmmm hm hm hmm. Do you get lonely? Do

1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you have friends? Like it sounds like do you spend

1:09:42.840 --> 1:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time with your family? Because I guess

1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I would only be worried that, you like, it's kind

1:09:47.760 --> 1:09:50.519
<v Speaker 1>of it could be kind of lonely, just like living

1:09:50.560 --> 1:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>by yourself. If you don't have any other thing that

1:09:53.920 --> 1:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you're doing regularly regularly.

1:09:56.560 --> 1:09:59.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I've got so I've got friends and everything,

1:09:59.760 --> 1:10:02.240
<v Speaker 5>and like my best friend, I've I went. I mean,

1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:05.200
<v Speaker 5>I've known us this elementary school. We worked the same

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:08.439
<v Speaker 5>job here for five years and then I'm at my

1:10:08.479 --> 1:10:10.640
<v Speaker 5>current job and we live as of right now, we

1:10:10.720 --> 1:10:13.680
<v Speaker 5>live less than a mile apart from each other. And

1:10:13.960 --> 1:10:17.200
<v Speaker 5>every weekend we would we go out and do stuff together.

1:10:17.600 --> 1:10:20.880
<v Speaker 5>And every weekend that we're off of work, we uh,
