Speaker 2: No Jack Carrouac's life. No Jack Carouac was doing way

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: cooler things than uh then procrastinating his work in the

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: back seat of a fucking uh in a raw stress

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: for less.

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I can tell you what I'm seeing. It's

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: just it's kind of nice. Actually weirdly, I don't know why.

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: It's it feels like it's dynamic. You know, there's people

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: all around me. There's I have you ever been to

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: Los Angeles?

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: No? Never, but I want to go.

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: It's an objectively tear. Oh god, there's a parking attendant coming. Wait,

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: hold on. His name is Brian. He works for Treader.

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: Joe's okay, okay, he just holy shit. He literally just

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: ignored me, took the shopping cart and is now bringing

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: it back.

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: To the cart return.

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: You're saved, Yeah.

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: So I can get out this way now. He just ignored.

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: He just didn't even make eye contact. He just bring

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: it back to the return. There's a car next to

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: me with all that that's stopped and parked. There's four

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: people sitting in it. They have the windows, they have

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 3: the doors open, and they're smoking. I'm gonna assume they're

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: smoking weed. I don't think people don't really smoke. Yeah,

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: it's California, and people don't really smoke weed in cars.

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry, people don't really smoke SIGs and cars.

53
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Like cigarette?

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: Do I like cigarettes? I like a cigarette?

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: If I'm uh, okay, Here's where I'm at with cigarettes,

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: is I I've never in my life bought a pack

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: of cigarettes. I don't think I ever will. But if

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: I'm standing around some whatever, especially like you know, if

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: it's a party environment, if I've had a drink or

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: two and somebody offers me a cigarette, I'll have a cigarette,

61
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: but I don't. I don't go out of my way

62
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: for them. Do you do you smoke cigarettes?

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Well, uh yeah, but similar thing

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: for me. It's like a social thing, you know, when

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: you're out with people. It's the presence of it. It's

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: like a connective activity.

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean weed is like that too. But

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: uh do I do smoke weed?

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, not as much, but I do.

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does a b C you, I, dude, I

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: have this recurring cycle where like I think we we

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: just gives me this crazy anxiety and it just makes

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: me like have panic attacks and shit, But I still

74
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: do it because because four out of every five times

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: I smoke it, I don't have a panic attack and

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: it's chill.

77
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Correct. Yes, no, that's the same for me. It's like

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: it's weird. It's like you tell yourself this time will

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: be different, and it ends up when it's different, it

80
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: like reiffies your preconceived notions, and then when it makes

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: you a panic attack, you're like, I'm never doing this again, right,

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: you do it again?

83
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: But dude, I don't know about you, but I have Okay,

84
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: I've determined certain.

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: Formulas with it.

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: Maybe this could beg I know a lot of our

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: listeners smoke weed, so maybe this could be helpful to them.

88
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: I've determined a formula for it, which is like there's

89
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: a lot of variables as to whether or not I'll

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: have a panic attack, and I okay. For me, it's

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: like never during the day if I always I'm and

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: I make this mistake all the time, like I'll get

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: high before I go to the airport, or I'll get

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: high before I go grocery shop. Like it's the classic

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: trap of like, oh, I'll get high and then I'll

96
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: do this, and every time, like all gain before I work,

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: every time it ends up bad. Every time it ends

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: up bad. I'm not able to do the shit that

99
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: I need to do.

100
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: But if I do it.

101
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Late at night with you know, preferably either alone or

102
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: around people that I really really really trust and feel

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: comfortable with, and I'm in a like a controlled environment.

104
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: I don't have to go anywhere, I don't have to

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: do anything, I don't have to talk to anyone, and

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: it's the end of the night. I don't have any

107
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: work to do, I don't have any like calls, so

108
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: out of nothing, it's almost always good. The panic attacks

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: happen when I'm like, yo, before we go to the movies,

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: it'd be so it'd be awesome to smoke yo before

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: we go to the fucking laser tag or whatever whatever

112
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: it is you're doing, right, it's like a I don't

113
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: I don't remember last time on at Laser Tag, but

114
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like before you like, oh,

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: we're at the lake house, Like let's smoke weed, you

116
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: know whatever it like, whatever it is like if you're

117
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: in like a social situation or a thing where it's

118
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 3: like oh it's see or like oh, before we go

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: on a hike, let's you know, go smoke, like any

120
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: of that kind of shit.

121
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: It always ends up bad. It always ends up bad.

122
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, It's like for me, I feel like it

123
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: has to be a spontaneous thing, like right would have

124
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: been the best for me. It's like I'm going to bed,

125
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I might as well take a gummy, you know, versus

126
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: like all right, right right out, people gotta be here.

127
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I gotta do it for this event, and it puts

128
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: expectations and that's what brings down the experience.

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: You too, dude.

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: So I was at the airport the other day and

131
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: I got high before going into the airport. And that

132
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: was a bad idea because there was like I was

133
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: walking around, I didn't know where the security line was,

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: and I just kind of saw I just kind of

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: like started going into the first I saw this lane

136
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: that had attendance on it, and I was like, Okay,

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: this seems like a security line. And I walk into

138
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: it and the two attendants they like look at me

139
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: for a second, and we stand there for like a

140
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: good like count to three and then they look at

141
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: me and they're like, uh, special needs.

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: And I realized this.

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: I realized I accidentally went into like the special needs

144
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: security line without without realizing it, and I was like.

145
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I just walked away. Here's you know what.

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: By the way, Okay, here's another panic attack tip for

147
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: anyone who has it.

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: Maybe this can help you.

149
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 3: Okay, So this I've decided, like if I'm having a patent,

150
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: if I'm freaking out, especially if it's like I'm in

151
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: public and I'm like feeling weird, I do have this

152
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: thing where I can make myself think that I can't

153
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: do this on command all the time, but sometimes I can.

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: I can just decide in any moment that I don't

155
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: have to care about anything.

156
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've noticed that. It's it's like it's almost like

157
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that philosophy in life, where like you can just choose

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: what makes you upset, and in those moments it's hard,

159
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: but you can just be like, oh, I'm not freaking out,

160
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: like I choose to be fine. Yeah, remember it. Yes.

161
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: Also, also it's like because like all right, Tom, and

162
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: they like you're in the airport, you have a panic

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: attackt oh God, And I look weird. I'm like messing

164
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: with the flow of the traffic, I'm going to the

165
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: wrong line, I'm you know whatever, and I'm just to sad.

166
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, so I'm I'm a fucking weird, crazy person.

167
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: First of all, no one's looking at me, No one cares. Also,

168
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: I keep coming back to this being kind of like

169
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: being like weird or awkward.

170
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: It's not the end of the world. So yeah, I'm

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: just like, all right, I went into the wrong thing. Yeah,

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: go ahead, Yeah, sorry.

173
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: Something you've said actually has really stuck with me, which

174
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: is like there's one million worse things to be than annoying.

175
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, right off, But like, no, this is like

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I have some family.

177
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: You say what Oh I said, there's no topic, go off,

178
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: go anywhere. This is a free, free, free play.

179
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Indeed. Yeah, but it's like I got I got family,

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can't choose your family, and like they're annoying.

181
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: They're my age, and I realize, like being annoyed is

182
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: so much better than being vindictive or yes, having vallice

183
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's like you can just choose to

184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: ignore that, you know what I.

185
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 3: Mean, Yes, yes, totally one hundred percent. No, I agree.

186
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: I think being because we all know people who are

187
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: like well, because we all know people are dicks, and

188
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: then we all know people who are just like, this

189
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: guy's kind of annoying.

190
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: I don't really want to be around him, but.

191
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: Like you can, like, he's not malicious or hostile, and

192
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: I just I don't, I truly, I will die on

193
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: the hill. I don't think being annoying is that bad

194
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: compared to all the things that there are to.

195
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: Be Yes, yeah, no, and I I refully I think

196
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: that there's It's like what we were saying about. You

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: can choose what bothers you. You can choose to tune

198
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: out the annoying dude. You know, it's hard to tune

199
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: out someone who's actively being malicious, actively being a dick,

200
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's so much easier to be like, this

201
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: is annoying. I'm going to choose to just not let

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: it get to mm hmmmm.

203
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: What's your name?

204
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: My name is Noah.

205
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Noah.

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: I like, you know, you're a good guy, I assume,

207
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: and it's okay. If not, we can totally just keep going.

208
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 3: There's a mattress firm. Do people go, like, when's the

209
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: last time you bought a mattress.

210
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Fucking dude. I was like, twelve, this is not.

211
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: An ad for purple mattress. But I keep seeing the

212
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: purple mattress and it looks cool. I want to try it.

213
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. I think it's a marketing thing because

214
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: it's unique and it's a little bit apparant and so

215
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: you're like, huh that draws my attention.

216
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fucking genius that some guy was just like, Yo,

217
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: what if we made it purple?

218
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's your appeal.

219
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: You're totally You're one hundred per correct. You're one hundred

220
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: percent correct.

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: I look, I very accidentally I looked at the giant

222
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: landscape of white guy podcasters with beards, and I was like,

223
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: what if I make it green instead.

224
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: And it's successful?

225
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: Okay?

226
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: No?

227
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: What?

228
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Oh you?

229
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,920

00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: Well okay, I wanted to ask you, was there something

231
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 3: in particular you wanted to talk about.

232
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: It's okay. If not, we can just keep I can

233
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: keep talking about this part or on.

234
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well, crazy time in my life. So, uh,

235
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm nineteen and I successfully bagged a twenty five year old.

236
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Well, dude, you're nineteen.

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: I would have thought you you sound like a like,

238
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: uh uh, you sound like you're my age man.

239
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Hey you bagged it? How old?

240
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: Twenty five?

241
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: Okay, how'd you guys meet?

242
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: So let's see, not identifying too many factors. I'm part

243
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: of like an ethnic community in a majority white state.

244
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: And so you find each other and you form these

245
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: strong connections. It's really small melting pot, if you will.

246
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: And I've been seeing or go to these things years

247
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: and years, and she's always been like in a literary sense,

248
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: like the object of desire, you know, kind of like

249
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: in a funny bit, because she's so much older than me.

250
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, going to this party, hanging out

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: with her, I get her number. We start chatting. You know,

252
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I join a group, like a ethnic dance group, cultural

253
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: dance group. She's there every week, and every night we're

254
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: up until one two in the morning, texting, hang out.

255
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: We're going to get coffee last night, take her to

256
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: a nice dinner. I go to the park. You know,

Speaker 1: No, so I actually had I've had one long term relationship,

265
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: few different flings and whatnot. She's not my girlfriend yet,

266
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,560

Speaker 3: doesn't appear to be any like glaring problems, I mean glad.

270
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as a relationship with zero problems whatsoever.

271
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: Hundred one hundred percent. But I mean shit, man, when

272
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: you're in the early stages of something and you're just

00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: like chilling and enjoying being with each other, it's you know,

00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what is this?

277
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: Oh?

278
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: Go ahead, No, you go ahead, I sis I was

279
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: just gonna keep you. Sounded like you had something you

280
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: wanted to say.

281
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: I want to hear it, all.

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: Right, Bet there's there's something that Oh fuck, was I

283
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: going to say? Oh yeah, there's like a driving force

284
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: behind how I see love. It's kind of like a

285
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: recovering addict. Take it one day at a time. You

286
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: put too many expectations and you're bound to fail. You

287
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: take every day and you go, do I love this person?

288
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: Do I want to be with this person? What does

289
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: today look like? And my experience has led to a

290
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: much more fruitful bond between people.

291
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: Interesting.

292
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting because I'm still trying to figure

293
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: this out because I, on one hand, I do believe

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: with love it's like you take it day by day.

295
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: But there's but there's also the idea of like commitment,

296
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: and I feel like, you know, commitment requires you to

297
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: actually not take things day by day in some sense

298
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: because if you take because if you're like fully committed

299
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: to something, then you really you kind of can't take

300
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: it day by day because you might wake up one

301
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: day and be like, today, I don't really like this person,

302
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: I don't really like this life. I'm not really interested

303
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: in this. But you know, you have the committed factor,

304
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: especially if like you have fucking kids or you know,

305
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: you're married or whatever. Like the commitment aspect of it

306
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: almost makes it so that you can't take it day

307
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: by day.

308
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

309
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: And I don't, dude, I don't have an answer to

310
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: that question, right because I do think yeah, but but

311
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: also but like if you take.

312
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: Shit year by year or whatever, Like.

313
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, commitment is kind of almost commitment is like

314
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: there for as like a little bed of like foundation

315
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: of a thing because if you take shit, because you

316
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: might take shit day by day. Like let's say you're

317
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: with someone you having problems, really fucking frustrated, and like

318
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: in that moment, you're just like, oh, fuck, I I

319
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: can't I can't do this, I can't handle this anymore.

320
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: I'm really debating whether or not that moment is trying

321
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: to tell you something. Or there's a guy yeah, uh,

322
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: there's a guy's right outside of my window who is

00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 3: making like crazy serious life decisions or whatnot. You're just

Speaker 3: totally enjoy the day.

367
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: Her and I spoke about this yesterday actually, because she's

368
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: at a point in her life where she's a career woman,

369
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: no kids to quote how this canbino, and she wants

370
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: to kind of settle down, find a husband, by a home,

371
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: you know that type of thing reads the family. And

372
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm just starting out right, But there's kind of a

373
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: beauty in this amorphised space we occupire where there's like

374
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: a mutual attraction and a mutual understanding that's pushing us

375
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: to take it slow and kind of exploratory, even though

376
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: we're atfferent points in our lives. I think it's almost poetic.

377
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: Interesting. Now, are you guys going, does she know that

378
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: you're like, I mean, I don't, I mean, I don't

379
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: know what you want to do with your life, But like,

380
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: does she know that, Like you're I mean, do you

381
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: do you want to do that stuff with her?

382
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. And that's where the ticket day by

383
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: day comes in, you know, like I'll continue to hang

384
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: out with her, continue to text her, see how I feel,

385
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: see how she feels, and then readjust my expectations and

386
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: obligations is necessary, you.

387
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: Know, Okay, cool, I think she's on the same page

388
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: as you.

389
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, we talked about it at length, Like, I, uh,

390
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: that's how I That's how I've been regulating my romantic life.

391
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Is just like being on the same page as explicitly

392
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: as possible. Yeah, the more that you're you're doing that,

393
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: it avoids any sort of misconceptions about where two people

394
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: are going.

395
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally totally.

396
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: And also you just like yeah, if you're not, if

397
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: you don't say, you just like kind of fuck yourself

398
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: and like you know, you wanna ideally, uh, life should have.

399
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: This is just stuff I'm like learning as I'm navigating

400
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: being a person. It's like, uh, I like, I'm the

401
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: happiest when my life has like uh, you know, I

402
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: like I like when life has challenges, but I do

403
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: like when it has tensions, you know, when it has like, yeah,

404
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: dissonances or things where it's like, oh this thing. You know,

405
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: things bubble up and explode and it's not uh, you know,

406
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: you want to try to massage out the the tensions

407
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: of your life.

408
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's good to have chat. You're you're always

409
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: gonna have.

410
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: You're always gonna have like fucked like just I I

411
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: think I'll always talk about like the kind of just

412
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: general dynamicism of life.

413
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: And like, you know, there's a guy right next to me.

414
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: He's taking a This guy is standing directly in front

415
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: of my car. I could kill him right now. He's

416
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: like he's just standing on the phone.

417
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Everything is so practical.

418
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is he's standing underneath. This is

419
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: actually nice trees in the sparking lot. I'm this generator.

420
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: I really have to poop, but I don't think that's

421
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: gonna happen until I don't think I have to finish

422
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: this and then it goes straight to there. I don't

423
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: think I'm gonna be able to poop for like two hours.

424
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: I think that there's a dynamic. Yeah, life has like

425
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: this dynamicism, and I have all these existential thoughts about like, oh,

426
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: you know, like you can't really like you know, like

427
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: life being a series of going like well when X,

428
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: then why like when this calms down, then I'll feel

429
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: this way, or when that comes down, I'll feel this way.

430
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: And obviously the whole idea of like delaying happiness or delaying.

431
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: Contentment or whatever is a myth, but it's.

432
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: Also I also, dude, low key think it's kind of not,

433
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I do think I

434
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: do think it's low key not because there are some

435
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: times there are just like tensions. You know, there's things

436
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: where like I mean certain shit where it's like, you know,

437
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe you're in a relationship shouldn't be

438
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: and you're in a job that you hate, you're in

439
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 3: a this that the earth, Like, there's just certain like

440
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: I do believe in like genuine misalignments in life that

441
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: you're kind of constantly having to correct and uh whatnot.

442
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 3: And I do I do believe that you you feel

443
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: better in your gut when you correct those misalignments. You know,

444
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: I mean, at a certain point you do have to

445
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: learn to be okay with some version of your life,

446
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: but you do want to keep you know, correcting misalignments

447
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: or else you just die.

448
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: There's a push and pull. There's a push and pull

449
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: of like an appropriate amount of struggle to keep you

450
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: going and to keep yourself learning and also being okay

451
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: with where Yeah, because the two extremes either it's complete

452
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: complacency or it's constant stress, and neither of those are

453
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: healthy to have. So it should be like a healthy

454
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: amount of correctiveness in your life, you know.

455
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: Okay, my hot spot all right, So I have a

456
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 3: problem is that I I have twenty percent battery left

457
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 3: on this my phone, and I can I can connect

458
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: it to a charger. But if I connect it to

459
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: the charger, it turns on airplay and it starts blasting music.

460
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: And the way that the car works, I don't actually

461
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: know how to turn the music off. So there might

462
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: just so you know how we normal basically, you know

463
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: how we normally have put Boston Nova underneath the podcast.

464
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: Maybe this time there might just be instead of like

465
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: the Boston Ova track, it will just be Boston Nova

466
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: blasting in my.

467
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: Car and I have to talk over it pretty like loudly.

468
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like like when you're at a bar with someone,

469
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: you're chatting with them make you more immersive.

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a good head on your shoulders though,

471
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: what's your what's your way? Okay, so you're in like

472
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: anth when you say ethnic community, like what are you

473
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: Native America Filipino?

474
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm yeah. So there's I'm in a state where

475
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of us, and so we kind

476
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: of have all of us really band together. Everybody knows everybody,

477
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like people that you're

478
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: not related to your cousinly Yeah, there's there's a terms

479
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: tita and tito, which mean auntie and uncle and all

480
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: of the elders you call them tita who tita, tito whomever?

481
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Because it's like you have a bond, you know, it's

482
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: a community.

483
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: Muh what part of what state is this?

484
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: Utah? And no I'm not Morman okay.

485
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: We Mormonism is mainly it's mainly white people who are Mormons,

486
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: right correct.

487
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: And people of color who have been convinced that their

488
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: non whiteness is a factor of sin.

489
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: WHOA really yes?

490
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: So until the nineteen seventies, the church actually made it

491
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: a sin to be black? WHOA?

492
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: So friends, oh said, well, yeah, there's a uh because

493
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: there's a line in have you ever seen the Book

494
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: of Mormon the South Park Guy's musical, I've not.

495
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: There's a line in it where they go, like, in

496
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy eight, God changed his mind about black people.

497
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: That's correct, Yes, that is correct.

498
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: What happened to do you know what happened in Yeah?

499
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: I always heard that lot of is what happened in

500
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy eight.

501
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: Well, the church changes doctrine, and they seem to be

502
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: doing that a lot, kind of at the whims of whatever,

503
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: the whims of culture and the whims of politics, which

504
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: makes me investigate the very premise of a divine word

505
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: if it can be so fickle, but so be it.

506
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: Interesting?

507
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: Do you know a lot of like damn? Wait, so

508
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: in does that still happen? Does the Mormon Church still

509
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: like convince people that not being white is a sin?

510
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Not at all, but it's it's definitely an unspoken culture

511
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: of exclusivity, if you know what that means. Yeah, So

512
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: if you are non white and you are not Mormon

513
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: in Utah, you have a hard time fitting in because

514
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: whiteness and Mormonism kind of like you're kind of born

515
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: inherently with a strong, tight knit community. And so not

516
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: only are you not part of the dominant religion, but

517
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: you're also part of a disfavored ethnic group, and so

518
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: it makes it really hard to find your people, you

519
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And even in even in the

520
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: Mormon Church, no majority of people are white, and so

521
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: it's like I'm actually walking by one right now. It's funny.

522
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: And so it's like there's a presumption of patriarchy, leadership

523
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: prestige that comes with being a white male that's not

524
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: afforded to other.

525
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: People whoa So, how many Filipino people are in this city,

526
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 3: this town in Utah.

527
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: It's a great question. I don't know the numbers. Probably

528
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: a few thousand, but yeah, it's not huge. But we're

529
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: pretty strong bonded, you know.

530
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 3: And I and you're telling me, you're telling me all

531
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: a thousand of those people that like literally know each other.

532
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's like it's an ill defined kind of

533
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: nebular king. But it's like you grow up and you know,

534
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people that look like you.

535
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: You form those bonds where you can't. And so a

536
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of us know each other. Like I said, joined

537
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: a group recently, a dance group, and it's like Oh

538
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: are you so and So's daughter? Oh do you know

539
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: uncle so and so? And it's like everybody tries to

540
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: get to know each other, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

541
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: are you the I met this girl at was like

542
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: that the person celebrating the party is like my mother's godmother, right,

543
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: but she's like a fucking like matriarch in the community.

544
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: There was like one hundred people there, you know, and

545
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: it's just like everybody knows her through knowing someone and

546
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: because of those bonding events, it creates like a dense,

547
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: interdependent social network. Hmmm.

548
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: Interesting.

549
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So are all are all of your friends

550
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: also Filipino or do you have a lot of different

551
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 3: Are they half?

552
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 2: Are they? Is your friend group like half Filipino, half white.

553
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of different people. There's a lot of

554
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: wages in Utah, but no, I just I surround myself

555
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: by whomever. I go to university. There's not a lot

556
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: of us there, so my Filipino friends usually come outside

557
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: of the university. So yeah, it's interesting.

558
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: What do you study in the university.

559
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm a triple major, so French, triple ethnic studies. Correct.

560
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I will be.

561
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 3: Graduating French, French political science and ethnic studies.

562
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Correct?

563
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: And what do you what? What do you hope to

564
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: do to for a job?

565
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Law school? Man?

566
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Cool, you sound very smart. I think you're going

567
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: to be a good lawyer.

568
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I thank you.

569
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: You sound very sorry. Are you going to do if?

570
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: Are you going to do French law?

571
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: I thought about it, but it's an entirely different legal

572
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: system over there and even in other frank Of countries,

573
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: and so it's hard because I'm getting used to my

574
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: state's legal system and the federal legal system, which is

575
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: completely different than frankopon once. We completely different. We share

576
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: some common law attributes, but you literally have to sit

577
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: down and learn an entirely different set of laws than

578
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: your own. You know, they've got nobilla rights. Mm hmm.

579
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: What kind of law are you going to do?

580
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I think immigration law, so I

581
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,000

632
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's beautiful. But like I went to Thailand

633
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: and I went to Brazil in December, and I like

634
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: that climate. I can't exist in it for more than two.

635
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,160

639
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,320

657
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: It's only dangerous to hang out in a parked car

658
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: for a long time while it's on if you're in

659

Speaker 3: just can't stand like cars and big parking lots and shit.

663
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: It makes you feel weird. I feel like I'm in

664
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 3: a a cage or something. You know, there's too many cars.

665
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: I gotta I know, someone educate me on this. Someone

666
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 3: call it and educate me on this, because I know

667
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 3: it's a thing. What's up with the whole thing of

668
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: like America is the way it is because of like

669
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 3: lobbying from Ford. Does anyone know about that shit? Callin,

670
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: let's talk about it. I feel myself. I feel myself

671
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: about to go on a Wikipedia loop about lobbying in

672
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: the automotive industry and how that and how I have

673
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: that I have the lobbying on behalf of the automotive

674
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: industry to the US government is what I have to

675
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: blame for me recording a podcast in this TJ Max parking.

676
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: Lot right now.

677
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: I know I said earlier it was a ross parking lot,

678
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: but it's it's a parking lot.

679
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: It's got a Panera.

680
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm looking I'm looking right now at I'm looking at

681
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 3: a Panera, a Trader Joe's, a mattress firm, a TJ Max,

682
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: and a Ross.

683
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: And I think it's a collective. I think that.

684
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: No one store is like kind of sticking their dick

685
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 3: out enough that you can call it that store's parking lot.

686
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: They all have a presence. I'm thinking about going into

687
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 3: the Trader Joe's to get malted milk balls hot to

688
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 3: all like.

689
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 2: The health places. For some reason, the health places all

690
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: have the best candies. The unhealthy stuff at the healthy

691
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: places is always the best.

692
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: No, I shouldn't get the I'm not gonna get the

693
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 3: molted milk balls. They're too far away. I'm parked kind

694
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: of towards the back of this parking lot. All right,

695
00:35:52,560 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 3: let's say we'll take another call. Oh, hey, what's up?

696
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: Man?

697
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:01,600

Speaker 2: This is him? Sorry? I know this is weird.

702
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: I just sometimes when I record the podcast, I'm like,

703
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: I think about like making an Instagram story to be

704
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: like yo, people call me, but I have all these

705
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: people who've just texted me, and you texted me like

706
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 3: three days ago, and I'm just randomly calling you back

707
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: after you texted me three days ago, and I'm like,

708
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: I wonder if he'll pick up, and then you did

709
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: pick up, and then you're like, but then I but

710
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: it's like by the time you texted me, you forgot

711
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: what the number is. So you're just like, it's a

712
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: random number. So you're like, so, I'm like, people are

713
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: really gonna pick I don't it is. I don't pick

714
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 3: up random phone numbers. Like if a random phone number

715
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: text me, I don't pick it up. But I but

716
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: you picked up a random phone number and it is

717
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 3: a guy that you and the phone number is not

718
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: exactly random, because you did text me two days ago

719
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: for the show and now we're and now we're on

720
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 3: the show, and you picked up, and so I don't

721
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: know what you're doing on know where you are. I

722
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: don't know who you are. I don't know if you

723
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: care about anything. I don't know what.

724
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,480

00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: do you feel right now?

726
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: Honestly right, I'm just children at home. I went out yesterday.

727
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: But I guess the reason I actually taxed you was

728
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: to talk about my car accident.

729
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: Oh geez, oh, just by the way, just so you know,

730
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: just for transparency. I I'm in the backseat of my

731
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: car in address for less parking lot. It would be

732
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: crazy if I got hit by a car right now

733
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 3: while you were telling me about you getting hit by

734
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 3: a car.

735
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean probably because I hate a parked car.

736
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: So it you hit up? Wait, dude, that was your car.

737
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 2: That was your car accident. You hit a parked car.

738
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

739
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh fuck. I'm like here three right now.

740
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I can start from the beginning if you want.

741
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a good place start, all right.

742
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: So, uh well, I actually went to go see your

743
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: show on uh in la or Let the Hollywood Semetis Forever.

744
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: Oh you were at the fucking show two days ago.

745
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was the guy who had the black Ovo

746
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: wind shirt and You're like, oh, is that a Drake thing?

747
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh fuck I and I remember you.

748
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: What's up?

749
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: Man?

750
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: What what did you What did you think of the show?

751
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: I liked it a lot. I actually sent you an email.

752
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could read it later, but the gist

753
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: of it was like, Hey, I came into it without

754
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: any expectations because I feel like that's the way that

755
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: you should be going into your specific shows, because the

756
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: whole podcast essence is like, we're talking together in this moment,

757
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: having experience, and so that's what I went in with

758
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: it because I had also dragged my girlfriend and she

759
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: knows maybe peripherally, who you were and what the experience was.

760
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: So we both went into it and it was great.

761
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: I think we lost some brain cells from the two

762
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: people that went up there, though.

763
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were, yeah, we had.

764
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: We interviewed two people, and it was two of the

765
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: strangest I've done like hundreds of these shows, and those

766
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: were two of the strangest people that I have interviewed

767
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: doing one of these shows.

768
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, it was kind of funny. She was like,

769
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: is this normal? I'm like, honestly, I don't know, but

770
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny.

771
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 3: How would for the people listening that weren't there, which

772
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: is I guess most of them, if not all of them, virtually,

773
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 3: how would you describe those two people?

774
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: Uh? Concussed?

775
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 2: Did you all?

776
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: Right?

777
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: Let's talk about your car accident? How did you how

778
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 3: did you get uh, how did you get into a car?

779
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: Ax?

780
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: Whose parked car? Did you hit? And and did they die?

781
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, so I actually was coming back from work.

782
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: I had a night shift, and it wasn't it out

783
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: of the ordinary. I guess I was just more tired

784
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: than normal because I'm a I'm a doctor, I'm a

785
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: resident and so oh cool. I was driving back home

786
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: from work, and for some reason, I was just more

787
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: tired than usual. Like it usually takes me like maybe

788
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: like forty fifty minutes to drive home, but this morning

789
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: was a little more traffic, I guess. But anyways, I

790
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: was coming off the expressway and I was literally less

791
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: than them out from home, and I was on a

792
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: side street. I guess I closed my eyes for a

793
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: couple of seconds, and I rear ended a parked tesla.

794
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: How did you it sens here that you totaled the car?

795
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: How did you total the car hitting a parked car?

796
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: Oh wait, how fast were you going?

797
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: Like twenty five miles an hour?

798
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't that yet, saw that fast?

799
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: But uh it just like once I went, uh, I guess,

800
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: like passenger side first straight into the rear end of

801
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: one of the of the tesla that was that was parked.

802
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Just happened so quickly, like one second I'm about to

803
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: make a stop, another second I am spinning in my

804
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: car and.

805
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 2: All the air bags deployed your super spinning Yeah.

806
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: Like I towards the end of the accident, my car

807
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: was actually turned the opposite way, so instead of going forward,

808
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: my car was now looking in the direction that I

809
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: drove in.

810
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 3: Wait that doesn't whoa, wait, that doesn't make sense. How

811
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: how do you spin out hitting a parked car?

812
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Your desk is as good as mine, because I woke

813
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,560

816
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: got any whiplash. The worst I got was a bruised hand,

817
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: like sized up to the size of a softball. And

818
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,480

00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: the whole issue afterwards and at that point, like after

841
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: the accident and waiting for everything. I think I was

842
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: up from win twenty four hours at that point, and

843
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: I was just like I was on full adrenaline mode.

844
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: I think I didn't go to sleep until nine pm,

845
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: which was like maybe at that point thirty six hours

846
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: of being awake.

847
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 2: Wow, holy fuck hmm.

848
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: But at this point I'm just waiting. My car insurance

849
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: said that they'll call me on Monday to set up

850
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: an appointment to come into the office and talk about

851
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: next steps. We'll see what happens, because honestly, this is terrible.

852
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: When did this happen?

853
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: Uh?

854
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 2: Two days ago, two days ago.

855
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 3: Well, fucking thanks for thanks for still coming to the show.

856
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: What the funny thing is years back when you were

857
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: first on Reddit the show. Yeah, yeah, I had actually

858
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: called in and I was screened by I guess one

859
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: of the screeners that used to have like volunteers that

860
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: would screen calls for you, and I had called at

861
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: that time five years ago for a very similar situation.

862
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, did you get in a car accident? What happens?

863
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at the time I was heading out

864
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: to this one. There was like around COVID time, right

865
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: when they were barely opening up the cities again and

866
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: so you were just barely getting traffic on the expressways again.

867
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: I was driving out to drug testing center because I

868
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: had to get a drug test for a job that

869
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: was out of the state, and if I didn't had

870
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: their on time, I would not get the job for

871
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: the year, which would be which would have been detrimental

872
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: to my career, because it was one of those things

873
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: that is required for like if you want to do

874
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: a subspecialty in medicines. Anyways, at the time, I was

875
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: dating with one person and I didn't have a car

876
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: at the time, so they'd let me borrow their car.

877
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: I was driving out to get the drug test, and

878
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: then right in the expressway I rear ended a guy.

879
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: It was a mess. It wasn't terrible. I was going

880
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: like maybe like twenty five miles an hour in any case.

881
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: As soon as that happened, I was trying to figure

882
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: things out with the guy. I find out that she

883
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: didn't have car insurance, and then I was on the

884
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: hook for that.

885
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 2: Oh geez, dude, you keep getting into you keep getting

886
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 2: into fucking crazy cars.

887
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: I hate cars too, too.

888
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I was saying this earlier on the show.

889
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 3: Is all right, listen, no did you grow up here?

890
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm in a parking lot in a

891
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: in a Ross dress. I am literally at the you

892
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: can if you listen, if anyone, I'm not gonna by

893
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: the time this episode comes out, I'm not gonna be

894
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 3: here anymore. But if you search for the Ross dress

895
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: for Less near the Los Angeles Airport, that is where

896
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: I am. Okay, all right, all right, I am literally

897
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: sitting in my car in the parking a lot of

898
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 3: that dress for Less, and I'm just thinking, I mean,

899
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: I'm still here, all right. I've been in La for

900
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: like a week for this for this show, and shit,

901
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if you grew up here, but I

902
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: I lived here for a couple of years. I I

903
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: think I get Okay, I get why people like Los Angeles.

904
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: I get it.

905
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 3: I totally totally go people like Los Angeles. I do

906
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: think this is an objectively horrific place to live.

907
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh h, I actually didn't grow up here. I moved

908
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: here for medical school and then I just kind of

909
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: stayed for residency. But objectively, I hate living here because

910
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: it's a horrible place. It's a home, it's a mission

911
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: exact coordinate plane for everything. And I'm like, dude, what

912
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: if I just want to like go see a friend.

913
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it a whole ordeal.

914
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: No, it's a whole day. It's a whole day.

915
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: I went from the place I was staying to a

916
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 3: place that was like I was meeting someone for lunch,

917
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: like five miles away. I swear to God getting there,

918
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 3: parking going to the lunch place, to fucking getting a

919
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 3: thing to park whatever. It was like five it was

00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 3: like two hundred dollars and five hours to like park eat.

921
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 3: Get It's just it's like it's an insane I mean, listen,

00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 3: New York is also like has its own like you know,

923
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 3: unreasonably expensive inconvenient stuff, but like, dude, just the cars, man,

924
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 3: like that just the inefficiency of a city that is

925
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: like trying to be a real city but also doesn't

926
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 3: have the parking infrastructure and is like run by cars

927
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 3: and there's all and also like there's there's so many

928
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 3: you know when okay, you know when you're following your matt, like, okay,

929
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 3: a city on a grid, right, like you can easily

930
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: kind of figure out how to drive through it. But

931
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 3: you know when like you're following route guidance in your

932
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 3: car and it shows you like a street where you

933
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 3: have to do like a spindily twiddly do on the

934
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 3: fucking thing, and you're like, I'm not gonna be able

935
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: to figure this out.

936
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how.

937
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 3: And it's like, okay, so you gotta get all the

938
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 3: way in the left lane right, and then your exit

939
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 3: is gonna be all the way the right leg. You

940
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: have to cover four lines, like it's just a mission

941
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 3: where you almost die to get fucking anywhere. It's it's

942
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 3: it's a it's an objectively I mean, there's nice parts

943
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 3: of it, like the fucking you know, Santa Monica is nice.

944
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, except for like that. But there's also I

945
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: mean also this terrible part.

946
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 3: There's like parts of it that like look uh run

947
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 3: down and insane, and there's buildings where you're like, I

948
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 3: think the only thing that I think the yeah they're

949
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 3: killing there's dead bodies in that, like boarded up.

950
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's yeah.

951
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 2: There's also yeah, go ahead.

952
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: And qualms. I have huge qualms. I have tons of

953
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: theories of why and how things have occurred. I mean

954
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: they're not theories there, it's it's facts of why l

955
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: A is the way it is. It has to deal with,

956
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 1: of course, the root cause of everything nowadays, capitalism. Yeah,

957
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: and the because back in the day, la did have

958
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: a pretty decent infrastructure for public transportation. But then the

959
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: giant car companies invented the concept of suburbs, and so

960
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: they got people out to the suburbs. That's why we

961
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: have like other towns in the near area that are

962
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: also kind of big. Yeah, sold the idea of and

963
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: in people to drive to work, and so now the

964
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: whole area is built on cars rather than infrastructure for

965
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: public transport.

966
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 3: Dude, I I may I have talked about this in

967
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 3: the podcast for but like I grew up in a

968
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 3: suburb of Maryland, and it was just all it was

969
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: always my dream.

970
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: It was like always my dream to like walk places.

971
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it was always my dream to have a

972
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 3: car because I just wanted to, like I just want

973
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 3: to like freedom, and like when I would meet everyone,

974
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 3: so why I'd meet a kid who like could just

975
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: walk to like the seven to eleven and didn't have

976
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 3: to like they didn't have to ask to their parents

977
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 3: for a ride somewhere. They could just meet up with

978
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 3: their friends. I mean, I mean, like you know, I

979
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 3: lived in like a neighborhood where like the neighborhood was walkable.

980
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 2: But like I I do think that.

981
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, to get the spots, you meet a drive.

982
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: To get the spot seat that to drive. I do

983
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 3: think it's weird because I grew up that way. So

984
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 3: like I think my mentality for a long time was like,

985
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 3: especially if you live in America, my mentality for a

986
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 3: long time is like, oh, this is how society is

987
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 3: supposed to work. We're all supposed to be in our

988
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: cars and like a lot like have kind of like

989
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 3: our our family unit in our home.

990
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 2: That's like far away, and I don't.

991
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 3: The more I'm the more I like, uh, think about

992
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 3: it and feel about it, the more I'm like, oh no,

993
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: we want to live with like in proximity to a

994
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 3: bunch of people that we know, and like the fucking

995
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 3: grocery store is like a walk away.

996
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: Our friends are a walk away, our family is a

997
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: walk like just the way.

998
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the car dude, those car companies the what they

999
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: just fucked up society by making it this way?

1000
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And the same theory that you're having, like, oh,

1001
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: everything's to be walkable because I actually I'm from Chicago,

1002
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: so I got out of rocks. Excuse me, you don't

1003
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: need it. I never had a car and TI had

1004
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: to la Yeah, I Chicago seat everywhere pretty well, and

1005
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: so being able to grow up up until my mid

1006
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: twenties without needing a car because even when I was

1007
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: back in Chicago and I would have to get to

1008
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: work or something, I lived pretty decently near work and

1009
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: I could just bike to work. So I just biked everywhere,

1010
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: and if I needed to get somewhere else even further,

1011
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: it was just public transit. Grace.

1012
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: Nice.

1013
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah, Chicago's a great city of Chicago. Chicago. Chicago

1014
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 3: might be the best city in America.

1015
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 2: Actually, that's why I got everyone.

1016
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: But then they're like, oh, what about the winters, And

1017
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, it helps you appreciate life. You

1018
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: can't appreciate the nice weather if you don't have shit.

1019
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 3: Weather, dude, I okay, the winters, Yes, the winters Chicago

1020
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 3: are very brutal, beautiful, are very brutal. But I do

1021
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 3: totally believe in that mindset, like the la Like that's

1022
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 3: one thing.

1023
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 2: Like I will say, like I'm looking outside, I'm.

1024
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 3: Looking at like the weather is very beautiful, but I

1025
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 3: remember when I lived here, It's like the weather is

1026
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 3: nice all the time, And I like I enjoy the

1027
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 3: cyclical nature of a place that experiences all the seasons,

1028
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: you know, like like there is something nice, dude, There's

1029
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 3: there's something that is I think healing about every year

1030
00:54:55,120 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 3: you experience a brutal, horrific u enter that literally makes

1031
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 3: you almost kill yourself, and right when you're about to

1032
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 3: do it, right when you're about to, you know, pull

1033
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: that fucking trigger. You see the line you literally it's

1034
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 3: like a fucking from the Bible or something you literally

1035
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 3: see the light and you remember you Every year you

1036
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: get to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and go, oh,

1037
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: I forgot that.

1038
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: I love life, Oh my goodness. Whereas like in in

1039
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 2: a place like La or in a place where like

1040
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 2: There's it's the same weather, You're just at this like

1041
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 2: kind of same frequency the entire time.

1042
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 3: There's no development, there's no like uh, cyclical change of

1043
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 3: the feelings and of the experience of just existing.

1044
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's always is, it just always is, just

1045
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: always is.

1046
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: That's that's the feeling I had, why because when I

1047
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: first moved here, uh for the first couple of years,

1048
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: to be honest, I was kind of depressed. I was like,

1049
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: it's just always sunny, Like there's no there's no of

1050
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: that cycle of life and death, like rebirth of a

1051
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: new thing coming like you can you can phase, you

1052
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: can have phases of your life based on the season.

1053
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: That you can't mark that here in La And so

1054
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: it just feels like a continuum of everything that you're

1055
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: going through with the same feelings always.

1056
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: Right, there's the there is.

1057
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: I do think life requires having this thing of like, uh,

1058
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 3: it's so over and then we're so back. You need

1059
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: to dude, I really, I'm so I fully believe this

1060
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: in life, you need to cut Actually, I don't know

1061
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 3: if this is true, but I believe this for me.

1062
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: Maybe this works for other like you know, but depress

1063
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: people or whatever. But like, you need to have a point.

1064
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,959
Speaker 3: You need to have several points in your life where

1065
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 3: you truly just believe that you can't do it anymore

1066
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 3: and then have and then have that be followed by

1067
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 3: a period where you're like, oh, wait, life is awesome.

1068
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 3: I could keep doing this for eighty more years. This

1069
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 3: is great. We're so back. You need to be able

1070
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 3: to have that because then because every time you do that,

1071
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 3: the next one you're like, oh, I know, I know

1072
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: what this is.

1073
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It's a it's a it

1074
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: builds resilience, builds resilience.

1075
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you're just if it's always the same frequency,

1076
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's kind of like dull and depressing.

1077
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 2: You know, you need to have You need to be

1078
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 2: able to like like like I've had.

1079
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 3: So many more like you Like, you need to be

1080
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 3: able to have moments where you're like experiencing like, uh,

1081
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 3: a version of your life and of your brain that

1082
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 3: you thought is gone forever, because that way, the next

1083
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: time you think it's gone forever, you can go, oh,

1084
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: last time, I thought I was gone forever, but it's

1085
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 3: it came back, so it'll come back again.

1086
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: And we're so back and we're so back.

1087
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: It's just worth so it's it's it's all over and

1088
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,479
Speaker 2: we're so back. Just keep going.

1089
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyways, I car accident. That's gonna be a mess.

1090
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought, well, well, we're gonna exactly exactly. We're

1091
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 3: gonna be so back after that. I'm so happy that

1092
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 3: right before I'm literally about to I just had to

1093
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 3: record this before I getting on the plane. I'm so

1094
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 3: happy that I could this. You're like the last person

1095
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: I'll talk to before I leave Los Angeles, and I'm

1096
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 3: so happy that I got to talk to you about

1097
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 3: how much I hate this city. Also, Gas is seven dude,

1098
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 3: Gas is evand dollars a gallon.

1099
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no no no. I saw nearby

1100
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: here it was like seven thirty and it's.

1101
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 2: Crazy, and uh, I love well.

1102
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: I hate the prices, of course, and I hate driving,

1103
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: but I love being able to point that out to

1104
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: my one of my friends who's a Trump supporter and

1105
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, look at the gas prices were never

1106
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: better gas prices ever remember, and he just kind of

1107
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: steps up.

1108
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well, it's funny because I remember when

1109
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: I mean, when Biden was president, there was like you'd

1110
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 3: go to the pumps and you'd see.

1111
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 2: I mean, but I don't, I don't Actually this.

1112
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: Might be this is maybe a dumb take, but I

1113
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 3: don't think that, like who the president is is really

1114
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 3: like there's so there's so many infinite variables that affect

1115
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 3: gas prices or whatnot. They're like pinning it on one

1116
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 3: guy's kind of whatever. But like you ever seen the

1117
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 3: stick You've seen the stickers that are like by like

1118
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 3: like they're they're by the right, but they put them

1119
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: by the pumps. Yeah, yeah, you put you put them

1120
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 3: by you put them by the pumps. And it's like

1121
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 3: Trump did this, Biden did this. And it is funny

1122
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: because you can just you know, you can just whoever's

1123
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: the president, you can just be like they did this.

1124
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 3: I mean whatever, he started a war in Iran, that's

1125
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Woy whatever, who cares? I mean not,

1126
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 3: who cares?

1127
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 2: I care?

1128
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Your right?

1129
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: No, Well, I I mean I went to dude.

1130
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 3: You know what's so funny is I get I went

1131
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 3: to Iraq, which is yeah, I know which is which which,

1132
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: if for which, Like people still don't realize that Iraq, Iran,

1133
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: and Afghanistan are three different countries, So like I get

1134
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 3: I'm I get messages from people all the time they're like, dude,

1135
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 3: it's crazy that the war broke out right before you

1136
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 3: went there, and it's like those are two different countries.

1137
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 3: Like I'll get people, Oh, I love your Afghanistan video.

1138
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 3: You're on video and it's it's it is just it

1139
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 3: must be so frustrating and hilarious for the people. I mean,

1140
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if the people live in there and

1141
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 3: give a fuck about like American's ability to identify their countries,

1142
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 3: but it is extremely funny that just because like they

1143
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 3: sound they they it's just extremely funny the way that

1144
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 3: like those three countries in the.

1145
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Area and then like oh yeah, we'll just sump them

1146
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: all together together, Iraq and the stand.

1147
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1148
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 3: I mean it is I don't know, like I don't know,

1149
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm not like informed enough. I mean, the big difference

1150
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 3: between the I think I think one of the big

1151
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 3: differences between of those three countries. Iraq is definitely the

1152
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 3: most chill because Afghanistan's got like the Taliban going on,

1153
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 3: uh Iran has this like insane fucking evil government. Meant

1154
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 3: that's like killing their own people and ships. I don't

1155
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 3: think that's happening in Iraqi. Yeah, yeah, I don't really

1156
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 3: know what's going on politically in Iraq, but Iraq is

1157
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 3: definitely more stable than Yourn.

1158
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 2: The Therapy Eco podcast, by the way, is not a.

1159
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 3: Good place to get your geopolitical information from this as

1160
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 3: a disclaimer.

1161
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: On this show, it really opened up or like on

1162
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: your comedy set show for Netflix, it really changed my

1163
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: perspective on Iraq because I was like, oh, oh yeah,

1164
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: it's actually kind of chill.

1165
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 3: And a bat I will stand by that. Baghdad is

1166
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 3: pretty bag Dad is pretty awesome. It is really chill,

1167
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 3: except and he all right, you'll all right, you'll like this,

1168
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 3: You'll you'll appreciate this. The time I felt the most

1169
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 3: unsafe in Baghdad was when I was in a car.

1170
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 2: That's where because they like lamb and shit.

1171
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 3: Right, there's just there's there's no every I mean, it's

1172
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 3: like this in a lot of places in the world

1173
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 3: with cars in general, but there's no inclination. Nobody is

1174
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 3: thinking that they're driving. Nobody is truly aware of how

1175
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 3: dangerous what they're doing is. When they're driving in Los

1176
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 3: Angeles and in Iraq, it's like there's no tomorrow doesn't exist.

1177
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 3: Let's go one hundred miles per hour. Let's drive on

1178
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 3: the wrong side of the road. It's I mean, it's

1179
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 3: very crazy, but it's not like, you know, I don't

1180
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 3: know what the I don't know what the safe situation

1181
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 3: is like in Iran.

1182
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if.

1183
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if or when I'd go there. I

1184
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: mean I like to go there. At some point, I

1185
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 3: want to go. I want to go to Venezuela. I

1186
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 3: got somebody who h was like because everyone was talking

1187
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 3: about Venezuela for about two seconds and then as as

1188
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 3: people do, they move on to some other thing.

1189
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 2: But I got.

1190
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 3: Invited to go there. I still I haven't done enough research. Yeah,

1191
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 3: I liked it before I do these. I'm not like

1192
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 3: a complete idiot, like I try to do research and

1193
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 3: talk to people to get a true gut vibe of

1194
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 3: whether or not it's like safe to go to a place.

1195
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 2: So I still have to do that with Venezuela.

1196
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: But which reminds me. One of the other things that

1197
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about was Japan, because

1198
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you just went to Japan and I went to Japan

1199
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: about a year ago, and I wanted to get your

1200
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: perspective on Japan because the reason I had went was

1201
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: more of a cultural thing, and I guess vacation, of course,

1202
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: but it was like a planned vacation with my ex

1203
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't want to have her

1204
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: ruin my vacation. I'm still going to go by myself.

1205
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Japan's all did you get? You went already?

1206
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Right? Yay? I went. I spent about ten days in Japan.

1207
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: I started in Tokyo and then I went to Kyoto

1208
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: and then Osaka and then Kinosakia, Onsen. It was fantastic

1209
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: on I would say, yeah, go ahead. Well, I was

1210
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, is like that trip in itself was one

1211
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: of the I'd say biggest life changing experiences that I've had.

1212
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 3: Japan's thing is that like, uh, if a utopian society

1213
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 3: is one where like everything works, then Japan is a

1214
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 3: utopian like.

1215
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Like you have an expect like like okay, like.

1216
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: It's very interesting because you have kind of an expectation

1217
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 3: depending on where you grew up that like if you

1218
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 3: walk into a store, there will be a person at

1219
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 3: the store who will help you do the thing that

1220
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: the store is for.

1221
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 2: And like there's like society is kind.

1222
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 3: Of a big illusion, you know, and like Japan, of

1223
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 3: all places in the world, I think does the best

1224
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 3: job at upkeeping and maintaining the illusion of society.

1225
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: Like like that shit just work.

1226
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 3: Like you go into like a car place that fixes

1227
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 3: your car, and then like you pay someone and they

1228
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 3: do it, and it like you know, like the the

1229
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 3: this the idea of objective the idea of an objectively

1230
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 3: correctly functioning reality is the most alive in Tokyo. I

1231
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 3: like I went to like I I when I got

1232
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 3: back from Tokyo, I went to bodega in uh Brooklyn

1233
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 3: and there's like a there's like a convenience store attached

1234
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 3: to the deli and like it says deli on the

1235
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 3: thing like outside, and I went I was like, hey,

1236
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 3: can I get a sandwich? And they were like, oh,

1237
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 3: the deli guy's gonna be back in a half hour.

1238
01:06:58,040 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 3: And it's like and and by the.

1239
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 2: Way, that's how it should That's like how that's how

1240
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 2: like real life is. I think that's how that's a ship.

1241
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 3: That's how shit works in most places around the world,

1242
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: but Japan is the most like.

1243
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 2: Again, like the.

1244
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 3: Bowing to the idea of what objectively a society is

1245
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,439
Speaker 3: that does that resonate with you having been there?

1246
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think similar to what you do when you

1247
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: travel to places. I did a lot of research because

1248
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel, but I feel like

1249
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: sometimes what people do when they go on vacation, they

1250
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: go on vacation to turn off their brain and then

1251
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: they expect wherever they're going to be that they're served,

1252
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, everything on the platter. They're there to be

1253
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: sort of like the kings and stuff that. To be honest,

1254
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a terrible way to go about

1255
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: things when especially if you're traveling to a foreign country

1256
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: with a different cultural expectation. So what I did was, I,

1257
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: of course I did a lot of reading and learning

1258
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: about the culture because I don't want to be disrespectful

1259
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: when I got there, and you know, I was gonna

1260
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: be by myself, and I don't want to be like

1261
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: that American that just is an asshole kind of thing. Anyways,

1262
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: very similar to what you said, and from what I've read,

1263
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: it's the expectation of providing self respect in an howardly way.

1264
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: So to show that you respect yourself, you have to

1265
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: respect everything around you, and they have like this big

1266
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: cultural expectation of everyone. Pitches in society is a bigger

1267
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: thing than you are. You are part of it, so

1268
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: you have to contribute meaningfully to it in a respectful manner.

1269
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 3: What's your name again, man, Kevin? Kevin Kevin, Yes, sir,

1270

01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 3: on this. I'm so sorry I have to I'm still

1272
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,679
