Speaker 2: a gecko suit walking around. I never I never like

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,440

Speaker 2: just kind of a live stream that I did. And

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,120

00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: little bit more than I was in Shibuia, and I

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: you have to go stream slamp and I was like,

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I was like, that's

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, I like, it's it's such an awkward thing.

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: But no, So yeah, we hung out for like an

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: hour and a half two hours, and then because of you,

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I started streaming. And then after that, I don't I

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: watched another streamer read a book about a guy who

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: walked across Japan and thought, I want to do that.

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Like I turned thirty last year and I was still

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: a kind of chunky, but I wanted to change my life,

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and so I I this year. I just got back

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: from walking across Japan. I walked like two thousand miles

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: across Japan. And that was because I met you, Like

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: you said, go do content stuff and maybe it works out,

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't, but you should try. And so I

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: fucking did the thing.

00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wow, Okay, that's awesome. So inspired by that conversation,

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: You've walked across fuck I didn't. Hey man, I didn't

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: say to walk across all of Japan. That's overkilled. That's

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: too much.

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: No, No, it's I Like I said, it was a

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of a perfect storm of watching you and then

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: watched another like a Japanese woodlock printer guy who has

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: been in Japan for a long time. I read this

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: book and then it's like in the book he's like,

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm thirty years old, I've been in Japan eight years.

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: What the fuck am I doing? And I was like, hey,

93
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm thirty years old. I've been in Japan seven years.

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: What the fuck am I doing?

95
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: You know?

96
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: And I wanted to go out and it's something I

97
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: had to do, not necessarily content, but I had to

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: do it for myself. And then many people said, please

99
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: share it if you can, and so I did. I

100
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: streamed like ninety five percent of it because I thought

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: people might get something from it even if I don't.

102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: But were you streaming? Were you streaming while you were asleep?

103
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: No? No, no, I didn't. I had work, So I

104
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: worked full time and walked, and so I would work

105
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: like six am to nine point thirty, leave the hotel

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: at ten, walk like twenty miles a day, fifteen twenty

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: miles a day, and then get to the next hotel

108
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: and work at night and go to sleep like that

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: was my routine.

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: That's fucking crazy. So where did you start and then

111
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: where did you end?

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: I started at the very very southern point of Japan,

113
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Cape Sata in Kagoshima, and then I finished at the

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: very very northern part of Hokkaido, Cape Soya.

115
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: Holy shit, you walked to the entire country.

116
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: I walked the entire country.

117
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's completely insane.

118
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: How long.

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Did that take you?

120
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty nine days.

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: By yourself, by myself? Yeah, that's fucking crazy man. And

122
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: how did this I had, like go ahead.

123
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, I had. The reason it took so long

124
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: is because I had probably like ten days that I

125
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: like throughout the trip, I had injury days, like my

126
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: hip got messed up, my foot got messed up, stuff

127
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: like that. So I had to like sit tight in

128
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: a hotel room for a couple of days at a time,

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: but almost every day like my average walking I watched

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: thirty thousand steps on average for the six months.

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: That's fucking crazy man. So the streams did people were

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: people watching along while you were doing it?

133
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I grew quite a lot. I started, Like when

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: I started the trip, I was I don't know, twenty

135
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty five average viewers, and now it's like at the

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: end of it, it was a couple hundred, like one

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two hundred, you know, So it's wonderful. Yeah,

138
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people because it's outside of like I mean,

139
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: you came to like Tokyo Osaka's cool, but like I

140
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,039

00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: like no tourist would ever go to this place of

159
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: the countryside.

160
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's so remote. There were some places I

161
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: was at where there was a bus that ran like twice,

162
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: like seven thirty in the morning, like five thirty the

163
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: afternoon or in the evening.

164
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: That's it.

165
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: So even if I like I didn't take transportation, but

166
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: if I had to. Then I got to like sit

167
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: at a bus stop or sleep at a bus stop

168
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: until you know, if I you know, emergency type shit.

169
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: So wow, did you ever have to sleep outside?

170
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: Uh?

171
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Twy the camp twice? It was I think day sixteen

172
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: or seventeen. I stayed at a campsite. I didn't have

173
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: work that night, and then I slept at a bungalow,

174
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: which is like, I guess that's not the way nowtside,

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: It's just a cabin type thing. But yeah, that was it.

176
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Every other time I stayed at like local inns, small

177
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: little hot spring towns or I mean it just I

178
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: mean one hundred and fifty eight different hotels or like

179
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: inns and stuff.

180
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: So everything.

181
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, where was the coolest place that you saw

182
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: along your route?

183
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: And that's hard, that's hard because there were there were

184
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: like I made paper, like I made traditional Japanese style

185
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: paper and made a bunch of friends in Etchison and Ukui.

186
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: But as far as scenery, I mean, Hokkaido is nuts.

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people go to Hokaido and they

188
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: go to the cities Hakodate or Sathwoo or something. But

189
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: when you're out like towards the top of Hokkaido, there's

190
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: nothing like there were some days I had to walk

191
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty five miles to the next town, like there was

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: nothing between towns. So you have to pack food, pack water,

193
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: and that's it. Like it's it's so vast in a

194
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: way that like Tokyo is not, or it's it's vast

195
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: in a way that's different. Tokyo's vast is a city

196
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: out there, it's just like quiet, peaceful flat roads. Like yeah,

197
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to explain.

198
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: Did you get lonely walking across just being by yourself

199
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: for one hundred and sixty nine days.

200
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I did well, you know, when I had stream on,

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad. But what really hit me is

202
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: like eating dinner almost every night alone. And that sounds

203
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: so like when you're in a hotel, and so it is.

204
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you know in Tokyo, it's like

205
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: I can have dinner with friends or you know, significant

206
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: other or whatever and it's uh, but on the road,

207
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: it's like it's just me. And sometimes the innkeepers would

208
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: come and have dinner with me, but a lot of

209
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: times they would not. They would just be like because

210
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: even though I speak Japanese, they were like, ah, like

211
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of a client and not client customer patron

212
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: type thing, so they don't want to like encroach on

213
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: the customer's eating experience or something.

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: So do you speak fluent Japanese?

215
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I speak pretty good. I mean I had I traveled

216
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: for six months for one hundred and sixty nine days,

217
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Sladay problems fluent. I don't like the word fluent. I

218
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: think a lot of people throw fluent around, and that's

219
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: for me. Fluent means no hiccups at all, and I'm

220
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: not quite there.

221
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: But I spoke with like.

222
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Old dudes for a couple hours at a time, politics

223
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: or I had trouble talking about religion because I just

224
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: never studied those words and so it's it's like I

225
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: have thoughts about it, but I couldn't articulate it as well.

226
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: So pretty conversational, say above conversational.

227
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: Tell me about some of these conversations that you had

228
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: with these like elderly Japanese folks on the country side,

229
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: Like there any stories, did you learn anything? Did you

230
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: like to tell? What would you take away?

231
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: You know, I felt there was one guy in Particu.

232
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean I talked with a lot, but there was

233
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: the one guy that's kind of burned into my memory.

234
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't old.

235
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: He was.

236
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: Fifty eight, which I mean, I guess relative. I'm sure

237
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: some people in chat are going to be like fifty

238
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: eights old as anyway, but I remember it really kind of.

239
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: I felt so weird because I'm doing this trip. I'm

240
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: a little bit past halfway. I'm in in yudah and

241
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: Igata and it's this kind of beach town type thing.

242
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: And I talked to the owner of the Yokamda Japanese

243
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: in and he's drunk and we're drinking, and he goes, man,

244
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: you must be really rich to travel like this, and

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: I said, not really. I saved during COVID and I'm

246
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: just an English teacher, Like I don't make money from

247
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: I make a few bucks from twitch or whatever. But

248
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'm not rich. I just saved during COVID.

249
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: And he goes, well, it's it's really cool that he

250
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: said you're You're so cool and I'm so stupid. And

251
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: I said, what do you mean? And he goes, man,

252
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: I've been in this town. I'm fifty eight years old.

253
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: I've been in this town. I've been working at this

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: same inn for forty years and he's like, I've never

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: he said, I've only been to Tokyo like twice. He said,

256
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: I've never traveled in Japan and I've never done this

257
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: and that, And he said, here, you are a foreigner

258
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: and you're doing this crazy thing. And I'm just a

259
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: fifty eight year old old man and I don't have money.

260
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I just have this in and like that really stuck

261
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: with me because I'm like, fuck, like you know, I'm

262
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: just sitting there.

263
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: Like what do I say?

264
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, you are you know, like what do you want?

265
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what? And so he and I

266
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: drank for a couple more hours, but it very much

267
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: was you know, I told him, I was like, this

268
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: isn't you know, that's your life and you can still

269
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: make changes. Fifty it's young, you can still go travel

270
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: like you're gonna you're gonna outlive me, dude, you know.

271
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: So But for me, that stuck with me, cause like

272
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: it's very much we make our lives and sometimes we

273
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: are born into family businesses, we're born into situations and

274
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: it's hard to.

275
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: Get out of that.

276
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: But for that, it kind of hit me like if

277
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to get stuck in something I have

278
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: to take active choices to get out of that.

279
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: Totally.

280
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: Totally. Yeah, that's that's so interesting because you know you

281
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: are a foreigner, but yet you've seen probably more Japan

282
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: than most Japanese people have.

283
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but almost Like that's one thing whenever I traveled

284
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: to like not that I'm not checking things off and

285
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: making a list, but just like in America, like how

286
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: many Americans have been to the Midwest, I mean, how

287
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: many like you know, flyover states, Like how many people

288
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: have actually been to Oklahoma or Kansas or you know whatever,

289
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: And so the same thing in Japan, like people go

290
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: to Tokyo, Osaka, Oki, Noawa, Hokkaido, but no one's going

291
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: to Shimani Prefecture to go, you know, check out hot

292
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: springs or whatever.

293
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: So I also love the perspective of like, I mean,

294
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: you know this trip that you take, I mean, you

295
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: have a remote job, but a lot of people have

296
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: remote jobs these days. It's like you would this trip

297
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: did it sounds to me? And you know, you can

298
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,119
Speaker 2: tell me if if you don't know what the financials

299
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: are of doing something like this, But this isn't a

300
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: trip that it seems like it's something you are able

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: to do because you have a lot of necessarily a

302
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: lot of money. It's something you're able to do just

303
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: because you fucking put your because you had the fucking

304
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: balls to do it, you know.

305
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is one thing, I mean, full disclosure,

306
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: the entire trip, food, lodging, everything, about eight to ten

307
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. But when you think about, like that's six.

308
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: Months, eight ten dude, eight to ten thousand dollars over

309
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: six months is like what that's like that month nothing?

310
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's and I know some people are like, well,

311
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. I'll never do it, But

312
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean I saved during.

313
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: COVID like that, that's not a lot of money. That's

314
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: seventeen hundred. That's like cheaper. That's seventeen hundred dollars a month.

315
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: That's cheaper than if you that's not a lot, but

316
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: that's cheap, literally cheaper than if you like rents an

317
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: apartment in a in a major city in America.

318
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like multiply seventy to seventy seventy five percent

319
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: of my hotel nights were like five to six thousand

320
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: in which were like forty to forty five bucks.

321
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, that's cheaper than a yeah.

322
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of those included one to two meals.

323
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: So it's like some people ask me, that's a lot

324
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: of money. It's like, well not, I mean yes, if

325
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: you just like here's ten thousand dollars cash, but you know,

326
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: and that's what I had to work. Like some of

327
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: my other streamer friends are like, why why didn't you

328
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: like just stream And I'm like, cause I make like

329
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: three hundred bucks a month from it, Like you know,

330
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: let me just quit my fucking job to do this thing,

331
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, like, uh yeah, souse.

332
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: I mean that's uh. I mean that's like the fact

333
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: that you were able to like have a have a

334
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: remote job that you could do while you were doing this, yeah,

335
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: is great. And I mean finding a job. You know what,

336
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: what's your remote job?

337
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: I still teach English? Yeah, I still do English teaching.

338
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: So again, I don't make a ton of ton of money,

339
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: but I have the schedule too, you know. I've I've

340
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: spent the last eight years kind of shaping my life

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: bit by bit, whittling away the things I don't need,

342
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: adding into things that I want.

343
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: And so m hmm, what are you gonna do now

344
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: that you've accomplished this.

345
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people ask if I'm gonna write a book.

346
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: They they, uh, you know, I was inspired by a book,

347
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: and I'll do that. I do need to put some

348

349
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: I thought you were inspired by me? I was I

350
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: was gonna take like all the credit for this.

351
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: No I mean no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 2: Like no, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm

354
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm completely kidding.

355
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,120

Speaker 3: Yeah?

358
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: So The Roads to Sata by Alan Booth. I con

359
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: sindu you a message or something later, but no, I

360
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: mean no, no, cap.

361
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: Sorry, go ahead, Oh what's the what's the book about?

362
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: It's it's about who again. The book is not necessarily

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: earth shattering good. It was more of it's one of

364
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: those one of those things that hit you at that moment.

365
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: Like if I had read the book this year, I

366
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have had the same But it was halfway

367
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: through the book. In the book, I'm like, God, this

368
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: guy is a British guy and he's writing about how

369
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: dreary countryside Japan is and how it because it's post

370
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: he did his walk in nineteen seventy seven, and I thought, man,

371
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: this guy's kind of boring and I don't you know whatever,

372
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: And so then halfway through the book, he goes, I'm

373
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: thirty years old, I've been in Japan for eight years?

374
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: What am I doing? And I thought, oh shit, I'm him,

375
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: like not not necessarily a mirror, but I go, oh,

376
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: this guy is just like me, and so it more

377
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: inspired me to just go out and do my own

378
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: shit and figure things out.

379
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: So that's so cool, man, I really, I really love that.

380
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's you, like it's I'm not I'm not bullshitting

381
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: it like it if you hadn't it mainly the conversation

382
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: we had in the train after. But if you hadn't

383
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: did you start doing stuff? I would have probably never

384
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: watched that other guy's stream, never saw the book, never

385
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: saw like in a weird butterfly effect way like no therapy,

386
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: get go, no, like it wouldn't have happened.

387
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm I'm so, I'm so so honored, and I really

388
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 2: I I'm very very touched by that and very honored

389
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: by that because I'm inspired by you, brother, this is

390
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: we're we're playing a little inspiration tennis right now. To

391
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: be honest with you, because I'm I'm kind of like,

392
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: should I walk across fucking Ireland or not? I'm definitely

393
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: not Ireland, but some some other place. I'm like, you're

394
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: you're Because I'm about to turn twenty seven. Then I'm

395
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: really tired, and I feel it's like making me fucking

396
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: sad because I have so so much of my life

397
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: has been like on these crazy adventures and been fueled

398
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: by a desire to go on crazy adventures and do

399
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: weird stuff. And I'm like tired now, and I'm like, oh,

400
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not tired forever. Yeah, you know, because

401
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: I want to.

402
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a struggle, Sorr, No, you go ahead,

403
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: I slug around.

404
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: Well.

405
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a struggle that because when I

406
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: did this trip, I had so many people asking me like, oh,

407
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: you should collab with this guy, you should do this,

408
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: you should do this, and I'm I had to tell

409
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people there I'm like, I didn't do

410
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: this for content, Like I'm I am making content from

411
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: it and I am streaming it. If the camera blows

412
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: up tomorrow, fuck you guys, like I mean, I I don't.

413
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I'm very proud of my community. But

414
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: doing things simply for content, I think is and I'm

415
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: not saying this, but doing things just to do them,

416
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: you get in this monotony and then it you do

417
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: get tired from it, like like I'm back in Tokyo.

418
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: I've been back in Tokyo a couple of weeks, and

419
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm feeling tired of like, gotta do this thing, gotta

420
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: do this, like I don't. It's it's exhausting, dand.

421
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I mean, look, dude, I I the

422
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: thing I was making when you and I met, I'm

423
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: sure I was streaming it, but I also planned to

424
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: make it into a YouTube video. But the main reason

425
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: I was streaming, the main reason I did the thing

426
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: that I did when you and I met, was because

427
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to fucking walk around Japan and like, dude, shit,

428
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: I went to fucking Thailand and I filmed a bunch

429
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: of stuff and I still haven't put it out because

430
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: the main reason I did it is because I just

431
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: I wanted to go and talk to people and have

432
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 2: have the weird cool adventure. Yeah no, and so I

433
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: just I've always looked at it as also kind of

434
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: like that's specifically that stuff, specifically going and making videos

435
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: in foreign countries and stuff. That stuff is just the

436
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: content is just like I'm gonna have way more interesting

437
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: and cooler adventure is if I have a camera and

438
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: I have my Gecko suit, then if I just kind

439
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 2: of went and didn't do anything, and it's also it's

440
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: fun to document it and share it with other people.

441
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Well, and that's that's one thing that I I didn't realize,

442
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: Like with you and I video, I did end up

443
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: shortening it down and I put it on my YouTube channel.

444
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: I hope that's all right, because I didn't want.

445
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: To Yeah, sure here what before I ever? What's your

Speaker 1: like because I do long streams, like I'll walk outside

465
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: for like eight hours a day type shit, and so

466
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: it's not like like your show is a show one two,

467
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: three hours maybe, and so people can watch that in

468
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: the entirety. But my streams were like second screen. People

469
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: were working, some people would fall asleep to the ASMR

470
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: of the rain falling or the highway trucks or whatever.

471
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a different type of content.

472
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

473
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: So I'm with you though on the yes, sometimes people

474
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: could be like with certain with certain things, and I

475
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: get it with certain because there's certain there's certain types

476
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: of and and my hold on I'm gonna try to

477
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: actually say a real thing. The there's types of content

478
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: certain ways. I've like looked at my career and looked

479
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: at what I'm doing where I have looked at it

480
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: in that sense of like oh I want to make

481
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: the best thing, or like do something that will go

482
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: viral or be popular. And still there's very like I make.

483
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: I do a lot of different things, and some things

484
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 2: I do look at with that lens, but there's a

485
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 2: lot a lot of things where it's like, oh, I

486
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: just I literally just want to do this, just to

487
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 2: do it because it's exciting and cool, and those are

488
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: of course, you know. I mean, that's where the most

489
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: compelling thing is for me. I mean, I fucking made

490
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: this video where I traveled, uh Like, I just walked

491
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: around the beach in Australia and I talked to people

492
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, this is so cool. This

493
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: is like I'm in I'm in Australia on the beach alone,

494
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: talking a random people and getting really interesting interviews with them.

495
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: And everyone was just like that, we want to watch

496
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: you take talk to people about diarrhea and the phone

497
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 2: from your house. And I was like, all right, that's fine,

498
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: but I don't.

499
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: But I still like to do a question for you,

500
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: like how do you balance? I mean, because not I'm

501
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm a drop in the butt like you know, but

502
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I am a lot of people have asked me like, oh, Jason,

503
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: you should push to be more full time, and I'm like,

504
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't get to decide that. The universe like it's

505
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: it's a luck thing. It's a luck and a networking thing.

506
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: But for you, like you're you're there, like you can

507
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: you have doda kata on or you have uh I

508
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: mean you you have these opportunities, how do you decide like,

509
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: all right, I want to have this person on versus

510
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: like I want to answer fan mail like is that

511
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: something you you do day by day or is that

512
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: something that.

513
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: It's it's I guess people through throughout my throughout the

514
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: four four or five years I've been doing this, it

515
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: is that my motivations of strongly uh evolved, my motivations

516
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: and priorities and certain things have strongly evolved. Uh well

517
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: because for me, like there's certain kinds of content that like,

518
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: you know, well, there's certain kind of content that like

519
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, make some money, and then there's certain kind

520
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: of content that like, oh I just really fucking want

521
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: to do this, and you know you kind of you

522
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: kind of you kind of balance it and then there's

523
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: stuff like and then there's stuff like touring where it's like,

524
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, this is like this makes money and is

525
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: really fun and exciting and cool.

526
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

527
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: Ideally, if you can find something that makes money and

528
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: is really fun and exciting and cool, then then you've

529
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: hit the jackpot.

530
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

531
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I actually talked to. And so after

532
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: my walk, like a few of the creators in Japan

533
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: are like, oh, so you you like because some people

534
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: they heard it, but like it rumors out because it

535
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: is the content creation world in your pan is very

536
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: wide but not very deep. So just take degrees with

537
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon, like it's like two degrees of Chris broad

538
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: like and so people so anyway, and they're like, oh,

00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: so you like biked it and I was like, ah, no,

540
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I walked it and they're like what why? And that

541
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: was different, Like They're like I would like why would

542
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: you take the time to do that? And you know,

543
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: I was like I had to. It was something that

544
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, I had to see for myself, kind of

545
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: like when I bought the one way ticket to Japan,

546
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: Like what am I made of? And now I'm thirty?

Speaker 1: What are my limits if I don't go out and

551
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: push them? And I found out, like I you know,

552
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: hurt my body quite a bit throughout this thing, but

553
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: I also found out I can do way more than

554
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought I could.

555
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: So dude, you're awesome. I think this is so cool.

Speaker 1: if they follow or not I don't know. I mean,

644
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard, like life is tough and people

645
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: are busy and so but no, I'm pretty sure you

646
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: rated me a few times and I got a lot

647
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: of like because they're like, oh shit, this is the

648
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: guy that vile met to you. Like so it was

649
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: kind of full circle moment, like yeah, but.

650
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: Well shit, Jason, isn't anything else us say to the

651
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: people the computer before we go.

652
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: Just gotta take the first steps.

653
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: That's it.

654
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: It's gotta, you know, even if it's a giant journey.

655
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: As a cliche, that is, this is a quote.

656
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: From Loud Loud Tu. I think it's from the Fucking

657
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it's from the Art of War.

658
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what laud Su wrote, but I don't

659
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: even know who Lausu is, and I don't even know

660
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: if this is a quote by him. But this is

661
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: a quote by Laotsu. It's a journey of a thousand

662
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: miles begins with a single step, has been that's Gecko

663
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: on NPR.

664
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, no, but I think so many me too,

665
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Like there are so many times where you're kind of

666
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: paralyzed with fear because you are so worried of failing.

667
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: And that's future Jason problem or future Lyle problem. I mean,

668
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: like today's today, and if you always worry about tomorrow,

669
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: then tomorrow never actually comes. Tomorrow comes, but those fears

670
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: don't because you always put things off put that not

671
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: you the general, like you know, big you, not you individually.

672
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's it's kind of like what you were

673
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: talking about earlier with like when I was younger, Like

674
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: the problems that I had nine years ago when I

675
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: got here are not the same problems I have now,

676
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: And all problems in relation to other stuff are not that.

712
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 2: I feel like if I walked across Japan, I wouldn't

713
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: lose any weight because I would just gain all the

714
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: weight back that I was losing by walking from eating

715
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: delicious Japanese food. Thanks for calling, Jason, Hello, Hello, Hi,

716
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: what's your name?

717
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 3: Seth?

718
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: Seth? I had a friend named Seth once.

719
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: That's right.

720
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 2: There's no how oh okay, I thought you were gonna

721
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to struggle to figure out

722
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: what to say in response to that, because there's nothing

723
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: there's nothing about what I just said that invites any

724
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: kind of good way for you to respond. Like if

725
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: I if you were having a conversation with someone and

726
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: you said my name is Seth and they say, oh,

727
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: I have a friend named Seth, and then they stop talking.

728
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of options you have from there

729
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: to response to. There's someone just stating that they have

730
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: a friend named Seth. But you did a good You

731
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: did it as good of a job as you could

732
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: with the given the situation you were in.

733
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: My friend does that a lot. He likes to I

734
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: like to be stuck in conversation.

735
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: What's up, seth, how you doing. What do you want

736
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: to talk about?

737
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: I'm good. Uh well, I have two things I want

738
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 3: to talk about. Either the fact that I got to

739
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 3: college and I don't want to do anymore, or that

740
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: I have a friend that are like liked but like

741
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 3: it's been low key weird, but like more than that.

742
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: Is this a lady friend? Yeah, okay, you have you

743
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: have a friend that you like, but it's been like

744
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: kind of yeah. But the thing is is I've been

745
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: gay okay, and I kind of am, but like they're

746
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: kind of the exception is the thing. I mean, you

747
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 2: can be on a spectrum of oh yeah.

748
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just yeah, that part I'm not weird about.

749
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: It's just that's like a little bit of awkward. It's

750
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 3: more than just the been like completely friend zone friends

751
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: for a really long time and it's just kind of

752
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: like there's not really point anymore.

753
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: M hmm. What how old are you?

754
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: Eighteen and you just moved to the fresh out of

755
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 3: high school? Yeah, just went to college.

756
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: Where did you go to college? Did you leave your

757
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: like hometown or did you go close to home?

758
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: So that's that's a part of the I don't know

759
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: what to do because I stayed close to home, so

760
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 3: it's like I'm close to my friends, but my family

761
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: decided that they did not like where we were, and

762
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 3: so they now live around two and a half hours away.

763
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: Okay, do you like where you were in going to school?

764
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I like the school.

765
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 2: It's just.

766
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: No one's really here, and it's like the whole thing

767
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: has been like I'll just get to college, just get

768
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 3: to college. Now I'm at college.

769
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: Now, it's like, so you like, you like this girl,

770
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: but it is weird.

771
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more complicated though, because like, so we've been

772
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 3: friends since I believe my junior year, and like she

773
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 3: had this one boyfriend she was friends with for a while,

774
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: but then she they broke up because it was just stuff.

775
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 3: And then there's another other other dude and he like

776
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: instantly was like in our friend group and we were

777
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: all chilling with him, and then this one camping trip

778
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: shit went down that like indirectly led to like the

779
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: downfall of my entire friend group. So shit went down

780
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: between the dude because he was going to go to

781
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: like military or something, but then he didn't, and if

782
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 3: he would have left, everything would have been fine. But

783
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 3: it's the fact that you stay on that camping trip

784
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 3: and stayed that fucked everything.

785
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: What how did what do you mean that fucked everything up?

786
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 3: So he was dating my best friend, which is the chick,

787
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: and so he ended up cheating on her and she

788
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: fucking broke up with him, and but she like said that,

789
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 3: like so they kind of went through like a rough

790
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: thing and they like were taking a break kind of,

791
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 3: but she said, we can still hang out with him.

792
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: But then apparently she's pissed at us for hanging out

793
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 3: with them and just is not talking to us at all. Okay,

794
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: I a dude's like, gone.

795
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 2: I have I have I have thoughts for for you, Seth,

796
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: I have some thoughts. I don't I'm I I have

797
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: some thoughts for you and about your friends being like

798
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: kind of weird and stuff. Yeah, I'm gonna just tell you.

799
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kind of tell you my unfiltered gut reaction

800
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: and I don't want to minimize your I'm I just

801
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,479
Speaker 2: tell you what's going on my brain, my in my gut.

802
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm immediately minimizing your problems because they are all happened

803
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: in high school, which once you get older, you realize

804
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: it's not fake. It is formative memories. But very naturally,

805
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: as you get older, starts to you realize, oh, that's

806
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: just so everything was nothing. But I empathize with you

807
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: because at the time it's not it's everything because it's

808
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: all you know at that point. But the fact that

809
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: you just you're eighteen and.

810
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: You just got.

811
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: Into your you're in school, and you're at it like

812
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: a point in life where you where you start to

813
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: branch out of high school and build your own life.

814
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: And when you cool thing about fucking you turn eighteen

815
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 2: you go to college is that you will start to

816
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: be in charge of more aspects of your life, like

817
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: who you choose to keep in contact with and how

818
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: much bullshit you choose to allow into your life, into

819
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 2: your brain. And you get older and make it when

820
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: you get you get better at making those decisions as

821
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: you get older, and so I got to be less

822
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: ethereal and bring it back board to where you actually are.

823
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: Is these people that you're talking about the downfall of

829
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: people of a friend breaking up, which is what I

830
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,240

Speaker 2: Do you like all seven of them? Is it important

839
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: to keep in contact with all seven of them and

840
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: be friends with them?

841
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: I would like to. And also but like I'm moved also,

842
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: which is so like it's even more.

843
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, you guys in a group chat, but yeah, but

844
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: you're in a group chat, you have Facebook, you got

845
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: discord but.

846
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also the friend that's ignoring us, she just

847
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 3: doesn't respond to anything.

848
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 2: You can't do anything about that. You can't do anything

849
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 2: about that. Yeah, every group of every group of friends

850
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: has the one or two people who they just disappear

851
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: and you'll see with them. But I one of the

852
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: things that like you'll figure out is with your friendships

853
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: is like, and I swear I'm trying not trying to

854
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: minimize how you're feeling right now about all this, But

855
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: I really do think this is important. The people that

856
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: you like, you'll put effort into those relationships. And yes,

857
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 2: perhaps putting effort into one of your relationship ships will

858
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: cause another one of your relationships them to like get

859
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 2: upset with you, like, oh, why are you hanging out

860
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 2: with this person?

861
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 3: Whatever?

862
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: Whatever, whatever you're you have to decide for yourself if

863
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: you think that person is being reasonable or not. And yeah,

864
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 2: I guess fucking trying to be a peaceful person and

865
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: just keep in contact with the people you like. And

866
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: then if you're trying to keep in contact with people

867
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 2: that you like but they're not you're not getting the

868
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: energy reciprocated, it's okay to accept that you have no

869
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: control over whether or not they reciprocate your energy, and

870
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: to mourn the friendship like, oh, that's a bummer. I

871
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 2: really fucking liked this person and it's a bummer that

872
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: they're not getting back to me, or that than not

873
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: is part of my life. But but you just you

874
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: just I swear my life. You you you mourn it,

875
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: and you just have to mourn it and accept it.

876
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: And you can still really like that these people and

877
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: and and love these people. But if you just can't

878
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: really have you just have such finite time and energy

879
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: in your life too for people for relationships like that,

880
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: and because you because you're eighteen and you're in college

881
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 2: and you are like prime set up to level up

882
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: your life and make new friends and do new things

883
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: were that are that are ideally drama free. And to

884
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: sit here and talk about this fucking camping trip is

885
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 2: what is tragic to me, Well because it because it's

886
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: it's neglectful of all all that could be because of

887
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: a fixation on all that that was at such a

888
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: pivotal time.

889
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole the the friend group going to crap

890
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: thing though, is like uh huh, it's more I'm kind

891
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: of I'm getting to the point where I'm over it.

892
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 3: It's just it's more backstory to the am at a

893
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 3: point where it's like where do I go from here?

894
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 3: It's like I I just sit here and wait for

895
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 3: it and just kind of do my own thing and

896
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: see how it turns out. Or do I just move

897
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 3: on and like go do one of those like Australian

00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: growth as a human being to these people because you

Speaker 2: need them is a is a real mistake to make.

946
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,360

947
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: you've been living your life this whole time. In high school,

954
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 3: the that's why I want them to come with, because

955
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: like I don't want to have to try to socialize,

956
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 3: to try to meet more people why besides the two,

957
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: Because it's it's too much effort.

958
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm so. Can I tell you can?

959

00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: Why?

965
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: Why are you so? Why are you so tired? Seth?

966
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 3: No, it's just what I mean that. It's a sin said.

967
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: I mean that as a sincere question. Why do you

968
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: feel so tired right now? Eh?

969
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: I don't really feel tired. I just don't like people. Really,

970
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 3: they're not my I don't know, I don't like the

971
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: majority of people. I should put it like that.

972
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: Why again, how do you how do you know that? Uh?

973
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just that easy to assume that

974
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: they would be not my people because.

975
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 4: It's yes, yes, it is easier to assume. It's correct,

976
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 4: it's correct, it's it is easier to assume. But why

977
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 4: your life will be your life will be richer if

978
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 4: you do.

979
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 2: Not assume.

980
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. I'd be nice, like I I I.

981
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: I said, I sow. I just so badly. I so

982
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: badly because I think about, like I guess, like when

983
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: I was in high school, I think about, like, oh,

984
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 2: if I knew now all the things I did, you

985
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: can't you You physically like cannot be aware at that

986
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: age of all the things that you don't have to

987
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: fucking care about. And then you get older and you're like,

988
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 2: oh my god, I didn't have to care about any

989
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 2: of that. And I'm listening to you and I'm like,

990
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: there's just so many things that you don't even know

991
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 2: that you don't have to care about, and you can

992
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: just go to Alaska.

993
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well that's what I mean is like I don't

994
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: really think it's worth my time to socialize it because

995
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: I'm doing other stuff.

996
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: No, it's no, no, it's not worth your time. It's

997
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 2: not worth your time to sit around going All my

998
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: friends are being weird and stuff.

999
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, I don't complain.

1000
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: It's not worth there's time to No, it's nothing you

1001
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 2: can play. It's just it's not worth your time to

1002
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: dwell upon that. It's very worth your time to go

1003
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 2: out of your comfort zone and socialize with people and

1004
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 2: do things that you didn't want to do before.

1005
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably doing the Alaska thing. I'm just waiting

1006
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: for summer, all right, man.

1007
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: Well, seth, I if I can, I really feel if

1008
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: I can get through to you on anything, which I

1009
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: I really I just I really if you I don't

1010
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: know if you listen to my show or if you

1011
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: care about any of this stuff. It's funny, but just please.

1012
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: It's like genuinely tragic to me because I in like

1013
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 2: in college and in my early twenties, and like I

1014
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: feel like I went on these adventures and there they

1015
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: were really life transformational and it's like feels tragic to

1016
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: me to hear you say at at eighteen that you

1017
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: assume you're not going to like the majority of people.

1018
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: That's like tragic to hear. And I really just hope

1019
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 2: that you, yeah, I hope that you dub that you

1020
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: reanalyze that mindset and at least it's okay if you

1021
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 2: if you go put yourself out there when you try

1022
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: a little bit and you just decide you're an introvert

1023
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 2: and you don't want to do it, but give it.

1024
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: Let allow yourself to go out and collect some fucking data.

1025
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: You know.

1026
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I do.

1027
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 3: I do get what you're saying where it's like I

1028
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 3: should keep that open mindset of people.

1029
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: I do.

1030
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 3: But it's just like I do always just have that

1031
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 3: assumption that like I should say that I don't get

1032
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 3: disappointed when people are shitty. I should say okay, more

1033
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 3: like I'm always expecting, not not expecting it.

1034
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 2: Just yeah, are you gonna go ahead? Go ahead?

1035
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go do something, all right, crazy,

1036
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 3: I hope. The other thing is the two friends, like

1037
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 3: how I want to have them go. That's the thing

1038
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 3: is they're kind of lazy and they don't really want

1039
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: to do anything.

1040
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: Don't fucking wait for them, set I know.

1041
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 3: It would be nice if they game. I'm gonna try

1042
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 3: to convince Seth.

1043
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm Seth. I'm actually going to kill you right now

1044
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 2: with how badly I want you to go to No, no, no.

1045
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 3: No, I'm still going I'm still going on.

1046
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna try to convince them, don't be an

1047
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 5: interest that they come, but I se without them, Seth,

1048
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 5: can I can you?

1049
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 2: Can you do me a fake? Can you do me

1050
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 2: a favor? Where in Alaska you to go?

1051
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if I'm specifically going

1052
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 3: to do something like that, Probably just like an internship

1053
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: over the summer, somewhere not here?

1054
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: Where do you want to Seth, Seth, do me a favor.

1055
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: Whatever energy you were going to spend into convincing your

1056
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 2: lazy friends to come with you, put all that energy

1057
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: into researching places that you would love to fucking go

1058
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 2: to and things that you can do in those places.

1059
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I will do that.

1060
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: Do that instead of trying to convince your friends to

1061
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 2: do something that that that they don't want to do,

1062
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:49,959
Speaker 2: which is kind of what I'm.

1063
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 3: Have you been a Montana.

1064
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 2: Montana is one of the states I've never been to,

1065
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 2: but I've been to states around it, and be beautiful.

1066
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,839

1067
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 3: It's even it's even prettier than why I'm like you

1068
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 3: should go.

1069
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: Do you live in Montana?

1070
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,560

Speaker 3: Yes.

00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 2: Was this conversation helpful? Did you understand or anything that

1075
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:18,799

Speaker 2: to the people of the computer before we go? Uh?

1082
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,000

00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'll see around the universe. Seth.

1084
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 3: All right, let's see it.

1085
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: M hm.

1086
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 2: Oh man.

1087
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1088
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: Really, I felt like I get it. I get it. No,

1089
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 2: when you're just when you're in high school and everyone

1090
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 2: is being like weird and stuff, it's it's intense, it's crazy.

1091
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to give I was really trying to

1092
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: give him my like twenty seven year old mindset on

1093
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 2: what it was like being like in high school. And

1094
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: because I wanted I would go back. I wouldn't go back.

1095
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: You physically can't. You can't understand how little that shit

1096
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 2: matters when you're in it, because it matters a lot

1097
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: when you're in it. Honestly, I could probably say the

1098
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 2: fucking same about whatever problems I have right now. Here's

1099
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: you know what's actually you know what? I just cut

1100
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 2: you know what. Here's the thing. All the problems I

1101
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 2: have right now are probably just as stupid as the

1102
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: ones I had in high school. And even when like

1103
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 2: I get diagnosed with cancer and I'm about to die,

1104
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 2: which is what happens to all of us, Like when

1105
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, even if I get lucky and

1106
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm like eighty and I'm about to die and I

1107
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 2: have cancer, even that is like not even that won't

1108
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 2: matter once I've been dead for you know, thousands of years.

1109
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 2: So I guess all of life's problems are similarly as

1110
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: stupid as the problems that we had in high school,

1111
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: if you just if you just because I feel like

1112
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm just looking back at ten years ago, and I'm like, oh,

1113
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 2: those problems were all stupid. They didn't because they don't

1114
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: matter to me anymore. But when I'm thirty seven, I'll

1115
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,919
Speaker 2: probably look back, Yeah, my problems from ten years ago

1116
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: and go, those were stupid that I don't know why

1117
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: I was freaking out about any of that. And I'll

1118
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: just keep doing that every ten years and then I'll die,

1119
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: and then you know, in a thousand years, none of

1120
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 2: the things that I ever mattered about my life will leave.

1121
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: Those will all be every grand problem or it's even

1122
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 2: like dark, serious stuff will have mattered just as much

1123
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: as my as my friends in high school having been

1124
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: like kind of weird, you know, Okay, maybe that's everything.

1125
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I don't I think I don't know. I'm

1126
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: only I'm not I'm only saying this because he comforts

1127
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 2: me to think about that. Oh, everything is just as

1128
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: stupid as the things that bothered me in high school.

1129
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. Even like people who lived a

1130
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: thousand years ago had really horrible people who lived a

1131
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: couple hundred years ago had really horrible problems. They got

1132
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 2: horrible diseases, and their children would get uh, what's the

1133
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: diarrhea thing that they that kids would get in the

1134
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: Oregon Trail. Close it starts with the claw, but they

1135
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 2: would get it and they would die. And even and

1136
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 2: now that it's now that it's like hundreds of years later,

1137
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 2: even that kind of matters just as much as like

1138
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 2: your friend, like something that happened in high school, the

1139
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: Oregon Trail and everything that happened on it, I guess

1140
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: matters as much is everything that happened in high school.

1141
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 2: Kind of is what I think I'm trying to say. Yeah, Okay,

1142
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like I feel like I expressed

1143
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: to this thought adequately, and I'm going to stop talking now.

1144
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: Goes on the line, making your phone calls every night.
